Chapter 126 A stroke of good luck
After listening to Wang Hu's words,
Ma Junjie suddenly stopped rubbing his hands with safflower oil.
He stared at Wang Hu and asked seriously.
"Wang Hu, is it for real?"
Wang Hu was displeased by the questioning.
He turned around, plopped down on the bed, and said,
Believe it or not!
"I didn't even want to pass on your message, and sure enough, my good intentions were completely wasted!"
Ma Junjie really didn't quite believe Wang Hu's words.
However, judging from Wang Hu's words now, it seems that the matter is indeed true.
His tone softened, and he said...
"Wang Hu, if it's true, then thank you."
After speaking, Ma Junjie stood up.
Finally, I vigorously rubbed the safflower oil from my hands onto my body.
I threw on some clothes and slippers and went downstairs.
Once downstairs, Ma Junjie began to look around.
I didn't see anything unusual downstairs.
As I walked further ahead, I looked around but didn't see any familiar faces.
Finally, we walked all the way to the main gate.
I glanced around casually but didn't see anyone waiting for me.
Ma Junjie suddenly had an idea.
Could it be that Wang Hu is lying to me?
Ma Junjie was indeed a bit tired and didn't want to observe any longer.
I turned around and prepared to go back to my dormitory to rest.
I had only taken a few steps when I suddenly heard a hurried sound behind me.
"Ah Jie, Ah Jie!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie quickly turned around.
Looking back,
It was actually Li Xiaohong!
Ma Junjie was genuinely surprised. He had thought of many people, but he never expected it to be Li Xiaohong.
"Sister Xiaohong, what brings you here?"
Li Xiaohong stared at Ma Junjie, a bright smile spreading across her face.
"Ah Jie, I was just about to leave, thank goodness you came down!"
Ma Junjie replied,
"Yeah, my roommate just went back and told me someone was waiting for me downstairs. I never expected it to be you."
Li Xiaohong chuckled.
"Ah Jie, I rushed over because there's something important I want to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie
Said,
"Sister Hong, okay, let's go over there and get some cold drinks, then we can sit down and talk!"
Li Xiaohong turned her head and saw that there were many food stalls set up next to her.
She nodded and then followed Ma Junjie over.
Ma Junjie ordered two cold drinks and two slices of watermelon, then sat down on a stool.
Said,
"Sister Hong, eat up!"
Li Xiaohong didn't stand on ceremony and picked up a watermelon to eat.
While eating, she asked,
"Ah Jie, are you hurt?"
Ma Junjie spat out a few watermelon seeds with a "pui" sound and replied,
"No!"
"Those few people have such pathetic skills, they can't hurt me!"
Li Xiaohong's eyes widened.
He said in surprise,
"Ah Jie, I'm asking you, have you ever practiced kung fu?"
Ma Junjie had anticipated Li Xiaohong's question and answered truthfully.
"Yes, I practiced with an old Taoist priest when I was a few years old, and I practiced on and off for about ten years!"
"Phew!" Li Xiaohong exhaled a long breath and sighed.
"No wonder!"
"Ah Jie, let me tell you, you've hit the jackpot!"
"Oh?" Ma Junjie looked puzzled, not quite understanding what Li Xiaohong meant.
Li Xiaohong beamed with joy, eager to speak.
"Ptooey, ptooey!" She spat out several mouthfuls of watermelon seeds.
Then he said,
"Ah Jie, let me tell you, you've hit the jackpot!"
"Hmm!" Ma Junjie responded, without excessive excitement, and calmly asked,
"Sister Hong, what good luck did you have? Tell me about it."
Li Xiaohong was clearly very excited.
It felt like the person who had struck it lucky wasn't Ma Junjie, but herself.
She said mysteriously
"Ah Jie, do you still remember Jiang Hao, President Jiang?"
"I remember, I just fought with him, how come I don't remember!"
"Hahaha!" Li Xiaohong burst into laughter.
"Ah Jie, this is what they call 'no fight, no friendship'!"
"Ah Jie, President Jiang's status and strength are beyond doubt and obvious to all!"
"The entertainment center you went to today is just one of its branches. He also has many bars, KTVs, hotels... basically a one-stop entertainment service!"
Ma Junjie wasn't very interested and gave a perfunctory reply.
"Oh, so he's a big boss!"
"However, none of this concerns me!"
"No, no, no!" Li Xiaohong shook her head repeatedly, then suddenly became excited.
"Ah Jie, now you two are connected, and very connected!"
Ma Junjie shook his head as he listened.
"Sister Hong, did you come over so late just to talk to me about this?"
"Sister Hong, if that's the case, I don't think there's anything more to say!"
Li Xiaohong could tell that Ma Junjie didn't seem to want to listen.
She laughed.
"Ah Jie, don't worry, listen to me. You'll be very happy if you listen to me!"
"Alright, Sister Hong, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me!"
Li Xiaohong felt that the atmosphere was sufficiently set.
He paused, then slowly began to speak.
"Ah Jie, listen up!"
"President Jiang admires you very much; he wants to hire you as his personal bodyguard!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie's eyes widened, and he stared intently at Li Xiaohong.
"Sister Hong, what's this?"
Li Xiaohong noticed that Ma Junjie looked a little surprised and dazed.
She giggled.
"Ah Jie, see? I told you you'd be happy!"
Ma Junjie spat out the watermelon seed in his mouth onto the ground again with a "pui" sound.
I casually threw the watermelon rind into the trash can.
I tore off a few napkins and wiped it.
Said,
"Sister Hong, thank you for relaying the message!"
"But I'm sorry, I don't want to do it!"
"You..." Li Xiaohong was greatly surprised.
He quickly advised,
"Ah Jie, don't be silly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"President Jiang has very discerning eyes; he looks down on ordinary people, but those he does choose are extraordinary!"
"He specifically told me that as long as I agree to work for him, he'll treat me like a brother, and I can name my salary—we can discuss it however we want!"
"Ah Jie, this is a thousand times better than you being a worker in this lousy factory!"
"Ah Jie, how about it? Just nod your head, and I'll take care of everything else!"
Ma Junjie looked at Li Xiaohong, who was becoming increasingly agitated, and smiled faintly.
Finally, he stood up and said...
"Sister Hong, I'll say it again, thank you!"
"I understand your good intentions, but everyone has their own aspirations. For now, I still quite enjoy working in the factory!"
"You..." Li Xiaohong was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say about Ma Junjie.
Ma Junjie, however, was very resolute and said...
"Sister Hong, please be careful tonight!"
"goodbye!"
Li Xiaohong looked incredulous.
She probably thought Ma Junjie would definitely agree when she set off.
But now,
Ma Junjie actually refused.
She couldn't understand it.
Working yourself to the bone in a factory, you can earn at most a thousand yuan a month.
What's Ma Junjie's motive for being here?
She saw Ma Junjie turn around and leave.
Li Xiaohong suddenly shouted,
"Hey, Ah Jie, wait a minute!"
Ma Junjie stopped, turned around and looked at Li Xiaohong.
"Sister Hong, is there anything else?"
Li Xiaohong took out her phone and said...
"Ah Jie, leave your phone number. Maybe you'll change your mind tomorrow. Call me then!"
Ma Junjie smiled.
But I think it would be good to have each other's phone numbers, so we can keep in touch if anything comes up.
Ma Junjie also took out his phone and gave his number to Li Xiaohong.
Li Xiaohong dialed Ma Junjie's number, and the two exchanged phone numbers.
After saving the phone number, Ma Junjie suddenly remembered a question.
"Sister Hong, do you know where Hu Ling'er lives?"
