The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 135

Sitting in the car, Chang Xi couldn't help asking: "Brother, do you really want me to work in a drugstore?"

"Well." Chang Kuan said while driving: "This is not only what I mean, but also what my parents mean. Xiaoxi, you came to the United States not to enjoy the blessings, but to study and gain knowledge. According to the agreement between Ling Xiao and me , you have to come to work with him for two days on weekends every week, and the salary is calculated at $8 per hour. If you work eight hours a day, it will be $64. After one month, it will be $512. In addition, I will subsidize it privately Give you $500, which is your living expenses for a month."

"A thousand dollars!" Chang Xi couldn't help exclaiming. When she was in China, it was not easy to have a thousand dollars in pocket money every month. One thousand dollars, converted back to China, was at least 6000 or more. This money is enough for her to buy a lot of cosmetics and snacks.

"Don't think too much!" When he stopped at a traffic light intersection, Chang Kuan turned around and pinched his sister's nose, and said, "One thousand dollars is at most enough for you to live in Los Angeles. If you want to live better, this money You have to earn it yourself. Ling Xiao is willing to pay you 8 dollars an hour, which is already a great face to me. You are a little girl who came to the United States for the first time. Where can you find such a good job? Moreover, when you are working They are also responsible for your three meals a day, and you can live in any guest room at home, and your life is much better than when I first came to the United States."

Hearing what her brother said, Chang Xi couldn't help but fell silent. Although she looked a little uninhibited, she was still very conservative in her bones, and she was also a very smart girl. Otherwise, she would not have passed the TOEFL test, and she would just have to come to USC.

For her, Chang Kuan has put in so much effort. Money is only one aspect of working in Ling's Pharmacy, which is the most important thing for her to integrate into American life more quickly.When she first came to the United States, it was impossible for her to adapt to the local life all at once, and she would encounter difficulties in all aspects of food and travel.

Ling's Pharmacy is very close to USC. It takes less than half an hour to ride a bicycle, and even faster to drive.If Chang Xi is not used to eating and living at school, she can go to Ling's pharmacy to grab a meal at any time. Judging from Gan Jing's attitude towards her along the way, she knows that the other party will not refuse.

"Thank you, brother!" Chang Xi thanked quietly, she leaned her head on her brother's shoulder, as quietly as a few years ago.

Chang Kuan patted his younger sister's hand lightly, and said in a low voice: "Ling Xiao and I have a very good relationship, you can treat him as an older brother, Gan Jing is a good person, and he is already studying for a doctorate, there are many things you can do You can ask her for advice, after all, you are all girls, some things are inconvenient for me."

"Brother, I want to take a look at where you live," Chang Xi suddenly raised his head and glanced at his brother, pursing his lips tightly.

"Okay." Chang Kuan shrugged indifferently, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards the northwest.

When she arrived at her brother's residence and saw the steel-decorated basement, Chang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately followed her up and asked, "Brother, why don't you let me live with you."

The entire basement is very large, covering more than 100 square meters. This is the result of connecting several basements. The house has been carefully decorated, with blue-gray walls, bright lights, and a strong atmosphere decorated with steel. Rust, exquisite factory decoration effect, it is easy to calm down.

"It's not convenient for me here." Chang Kuan looked at his sister, and warned in a deep voice: "Xiaoxi, try to come here as little as possible in the future, the law and order in this area is not very good, you are a girl, and you are prone to accidents."

"Okay." Although he knew that his brother was hiding something, but based on his familiarity with him, Chang Xi knew that no matter what, he would never tell her the truth.

After staying in the basement all morning, Chang Kuan took his younger sister to play in Los Angeles and familiarize themselves with the environment. He didn't send her back until night fell and had a lot of dinner outside.

Seeing her brother leave, Chang Xi turned around and returned to the pharmacy, and returned to her heartless state, pulling Gan Jing to giggle.

A few days later, Chang Broadband took Chang Xi to University of Southern California to go through the admission procedures, and after arranging accommodation, he left with peace of mind.

It may be because he just came to Los Angeles. Two days after school started, Chang Xi suddenly fell ill. It wasn't a serious illness, but because he was not acclimatized to the environment, and the weather turned cold, so he accidentally caught a cold.

Chang Kuan hurriedly took the man to Ling Xiao's pharmacy and stayed there for two days before he was able to handle it neatly.Originally, Chang Xi planned to spend all the money her brother gave her first, and then go to work at the pharmacy on Ling Xiao's side, but this illness made the girl sober instead.

These days at USC, although there are many Chinese students studying abroad, Chang Xi is not in the same circle with them. Even if someone deliberately approaches her, it is her beauty. Chang Xi is not stupid, just a stranger. The environment made her faintly anxious, and it was only then that she accidentally caught a cold.

After figuring things out, Chang Xi came to work at Ling Xiao's pharmacy on the first weekend after he recovered from his illness.

In fact, there is not much that Chang Xi needs to do here. She can help Gan Jing distinguish and carry the medicinal materials, so Gan Jing can help look after the shop when he goes to school. That's all. After two days, Chang Xi feels that the money is really worth It's very easy to earn.

With Chang Xi helping to take care of the pharmacy, Ling Xiao focused more on his own affairs.

In the middle of the night, Ling Xiao, who finished his evening class, took advantage of the darkness to rush to the playground of a middle school in Monterey Park.

Qin Ming had been at the playground for a while, and seeing that Ling Xiao hadn't appeared yet, he stood under the tree alone, smoking a cigarette and thinking about things.

"You are not afraid of being shot secretly." A voice suddenly sounded from behind Qin Ming, and he turned around sharply, looking at the person coming.

It was naturally Ling Xiao who appeared behind him. Qin Ming stared straight at Ling Xiao for a long time, then shook his head helplessly, and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, your cultivation has really improved, I don't know I didn't find out when you appeared. Ling Xiao, it's a pity that you don't want to be a killer!"

"How do you know that I've never been a killer." Ling Xiao looked at Qin Ming with a half-smile, and suddenly Qin Ming's neck felt a little chilly.

"Don't make fun of me." Qin Ming smiled with a stiff face. After not seeing him for a while, this guy became much stranger.

"How are you doing recently? You're still calm on the road." Ling Xiao looked Qin Ming up and down. Since the last time we met, this guy has lost a lot of weight.

"Calm down gui!" Qin Ming threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped his feet fiercely, and then said angrily: "I can see it now, the last time the Japanese exchanged fire with us, Zhang Xiaotian and Zhizhi The two bastards Xuan and Xuan had a tacit understanding and didn't kill them. Although the economic loss of both sides is not small, there are not many casualties in their hands. I really met Gui!"

After cursing fiercely, Qin Ming continued: "In the last fight, except for the Nissin Society and the Four Seas Gang, the other gangs fought desperately against the Japanese, causing heavy casualties. It was the Los Angeles branch of Zhigongtang. He was also raided by a group of people and suffered a lot of damage. But afterwards, that old guy Zhang Xiaotian started to extend his hand to his own people, and many of the damaged gang's territory and manpower were taken over. After a while, The Four Seas Gang has firmly secured its position as the No. [-] Chinese gang in Los Angeles, and no one can shake it. The situation is also the same with the Nissin Club, and I really doubt whether these two old guys have colluded long ago."

"Collusion is unlikely." Ling Xiao shook his head lightly, and said calmly: "At most, there is some tacit understanding. We Shandong people were not harmed by the Japanese a few decades ago. Zhang Qingtian's grandfather died. In the hands of the Japanese, many older generations of the Four Seas Gang are in a similar situation. If Zhang Xiaotian dares to collude with Ya Zhixuan, those old guys in the gang will not be the first to spare him."

"Perhaps what you said is right, but seeing the current situation and that bastard Zhang Qingtian getting more and more proud every day, I feel uncomfortable every day." Qin Ming cursed fiercely, kicking the ground His cigarette butts were crushed.

"Then you keep pestering her daughter." Ling Xiao gave Qin Ming an angry look, and then said in a deep voice: "Just watch, the Nissin Society and the Four Seas Gang will have a desperate fight sooner or later. Otherwise, the Zhigongtang and Hand Peace Association will be the first to refuse to agree."
