Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the first interviewee, Ms. Zhang Yuqi, arrived. Lao Yang stood up to greet her and ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee for her after she sat down. Looking at Ms. Zhang opposite, he made a brief self-introduction and the status of the company. Ms. Zhang gave a brief account of her own situation and summarized her understanding of the job and her current status. You asked why you wanted to change jobs, and Ms. Zhang said that it was mainly because the salary could not meet the family expenses. Finally, we talked about ideals, hobbies, and aspirations for the future. When we finished the second cup of coffee. Lao Yang ended the interview with Ms. Zhang. He told her: "You can go back and wait for notification. I will contact her if it is confirmed."

I feel so good when I say this! In my previous life, I was often rejected for jobs because of this sentence. I feel so good when I say it.

At three o'clock, the waiter ushered in another handsome man in his 40s, stood up to welcome him, sat him down, and ordered a latte for him. The second interviewer was Kong Yi, a master of marketing who studied in the United States. After graduation, he worked in the United States for 10 years. In 50, he went to Hong Kong with the company to open up the market. After returning, he has been working in an American foreign company. Recently, there was news that the foreign company was going to cancel the Hong Kong branch and withdraw to the United States. He did not want to go to the United States again, so he looked for a job in advance.

At four o'clock, the third interviewee, Mr. Wang Yugang, arrived. Mr. Wang is also an American student studying law and has a lawyer's license. After graduation, he worked as a lawyer in the United States for three years, then returned to Hong Kong to develop his career and worked as a lawyer for another three years, but he did not become famous. He then changed his career and worked as an operations manager at the Central Asia Shipping Company. Last year, he was promoted to the company's deputy general manager. This year, the company merged with Universal Company and he was demoted to a manager and retained. He is currently preparing to find another way out.

It was already past five o'clock when the three of us finished the interview. We left the cafe and drove to the Queen's Restaurant for dinner. The meal felt just so-so. Western food is really not suitable for Chinese people, unless it is Westernized.

He drove to the nearby Peninsula Hotel and booked a luxury suite. He used the phone book in the living room to call Wanjia Housekeeping Company and asked them to recruit a housekeeper, a gardener, two cooks, and three maids. After hanging up, he called the British Bodyguard Company and booked 10 professional bodyguards. He also called Deyang Law Firm and made an appointment to sign a full-time lawyer.

After the phone call, it was already past 7pm. I didn't need to practice anymore. I was too bored, so I decided to go to a bar or nightclub. I learned from the hotel front desk that there was a very famous Scream Bar not far from the Peninsula Hotel, so I changed into casual clothes and prepared to go to the bar.

Although Lao Yang is not handsome, he looks very attractive. After continuously absorbing energy to transform his body, Lao Yang's face is very resolute and his body is well-proportioned and thick, giving people a special sense of security. The Scream Bar is not far away, about 500 meters away from the Peninsula Hotel. The parking lot of the bar is full of cars, and many men and women go in and out.

As soon as I approached the parking lot, I heard the music in the bar. I paid 10 Hong Kong dollars for the ticket at the door, and the moment I pushed the door open, I heard the deafening sound. I walked through two turns before entering the hall. There were about 100 people dancing in the dance floor, and there were small partitions around. I could see the shadows swaying inside. The bartenders were walking back and forth in the bar, which was about 50 meters long, and there were many people sitting at the bar drinking.

Lao Yang found an empty seat at the bar and ordered a glass of prune wine. He listened to the manic music and looked around. Most of the dancers were young men and women, and those drinking near the bar were more mature people. There were three or four thugs sitting by the passage leading to the second floor, smoking and watching the scene.

The whole hall is about 1000 square meters. There is a small stage at the back with several sexy girls dancing on it. There are also several people drinking and watching the dance below the stage. There is a large dance floor at the back with young men and women dancing inside. There is a row of cubicles on each side, and many people are drinking and playing in the cubicles.

Lao Yang felt that the environment was too noisy, making him irritable. It seemed that he was used to living alone, and was strongly affected by such a lively environment. He scanned the bar counter and did not see drunken beauties and sexy young women as in the movie plots. They were all in pairs, laughing, scolding, and flirting. The plot in the movie where the protagonist is always in trouble did not happen. It seemed that he was not yet the protagonist of this world.

There is nothing to miss, just experience it. I picked up the prune wine, drank it in one gulp, paid for it and walked to the door.

As soon as I walked out of the bar, I saw several vans coming towards me. They slammed on the brakes and fifty or sixty people jumped out of the vans, rushing towards the bar with blades and sticks in their hands.

When the bartender saw the car, he immediately ran in to close the door. He only heard the sound of the door being locked and a huge log falling to the ground. He guessed that the door was blocked. At this time, the person who rushed down from the van had already come to Lao Yang. The other party took a look and saw that Lao Yang was not dressed like a gangster, so he stared at Lao Yang. The other brothers bypassed the two and rushed to the door. Lao Yang shrugged helplessly and stepped aside to let him pass. The little leader was satisfied and passed Lao Yang and started to organize the door to be smashed, shouting for the other party to come out.

Lao Yang walked to the side and watched. The thugs smashed the door for a while, and when they realized they couldn't break it open, they started looking for other entrances.

It was worth it to come out today. I finally saw the scene on TV - the Young and Dangerous fighting for territory. Although they were not very strong and they were slashing each other with knives before they even met, it was quite exciting to watch.

After a while, the window on the second floor opened, and a fat white man shouted outside: "Shapi, are you here to masturbate? You are such a fool, you don't know how to live or die. I have notified Brother Liang, and he will bring people over to chop you up right away!"

"You loser~!" Shapi didn't find any other entrance. He felt that he might return empty-handed today. He was too embarrassed to admit his mistake and cursed, "Dasha Kun, you're lucky I didn't smash your place today. You better be careful, I will come again." Then he led the crowd away in a car.

A few minutes later, the door of the bar opened again. Some people left, but many stayed and continued to play. This kind of thing is common in Hong Kong. It's okay to kill the thugs, but it's not okay to kill the guests. Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, Lao Yang prepared to go back to the Peninsula Hotel to rest.

Just as Lao Yang was about to leave, a lewd man next to him approached Lao Yang and said, "Do you want to play with that handsome guy?"

The old demon looked at the man suspiciously and said, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The wretched man continued, "Sir, don't get me wrong. I don't think you are short of money. There is a casino next door. Are you interested in playing a few hands? Go there and tell me my name, Lao Shan, and you will get 50 yuan in chips for free. Sir, you look handsome and have a rosy face. You must be possessed by the God of Wealth and you will be a big shot."

Old Yang frowned and looked at the wretched man. The wretched man felt a little embarrassed by Old Yang's gaze and turned around to leave. Old Yang immediately said, "Okay! Take me there."

Lao Yang felt that there was nothing to do today, so he went to the casino to have a look.

Lao Yang followed the wretched man and continued walking along the street. About 200 meters ahead, there was a small building. The wretched man took Lao Yang into the building and turned into an iron door leading to the basement.

I knocked on the door, and a small window opened. I saw that it was a wretched man, and then he said, "Wait!"

Then they heard the sound of a door opening. The wretched man led Lao Yang in. The man who opened the door stared at Lao Yang. Lao Yang also stared at the man who opened the door for a few seconds, then walked in. On the underground floor, there was a large casino converted from a basement, with many people gathered around the gambling table.

After a look, it seems that there are all kinds of common gambling methods, such as slot machines, roulette, poker, dice, and Pai Gow. The wretched man led Lao Yang to a glass window.

After knocking on the glass, two chips were handed out. The wretched man flipped the chips over to Lao Yang and said, "You see, there is money to be made if you come here! Try your luck with this. This window is for making money. You can exchange chips or you can exchange chips for money."

Lao Yang took two chips and looked at them. Each chip had 25 written on it. He weighed them and found that they were made of plastic. Lao Yang said "thank you" to the wretched man and then turned and walked towards the gambling table.

Although Lao Yang had never gambled before, he basically understood all the rules. Lao Yang walked around the various gambling tables and gambling tools, and generally understood the rules of gambling. Lao Yang saw that the people around him were not dressed well, and they were basically ordinary people. Rich people probably wouldn't come here to gamble. Seeing that each person had a few hundred yuan in chips, this was an ordinary gambling place, there were no masters, and the turnover should not be large.

When Lao Yang came to the dice table, there were already several people betting on the size and points, just like what he had seen online before, so Lao Yang took out a chip and threw it on the "big". Soon the dealer found that no one was betting, so he started shouting "buy it and leave it", and opened it immediately. He saw 2, 2, 3, seven small! Buy big and pay small, then took all the money that was bet on big and compensated the people who bet on small.

After finishing a round, the dealer picked up the dice cup, put in the dice, shook it and shouted, "Begin betting, begin betting." After shaking it a few times, he put the dice cup on the table, knocked on the table and said, "Begin betting, begin betting. Whether to bet big or small is up to fate, and bet once and for all!"

Lao Yang tried his spatial ability. Although he could hear the dice colliding, he had no idea what the dice were. Lao Yang also wanted to use the spatial ability to collect the dice, but he couldn't touch the dice cup. He tried several times but couldn't collect them. Then he threw the last chip on "big". He Guan called several times again. Seeing that no one continued to bet, he knocked on the table and said that the bet was settled. He opened it and saw that 4, 3, 4, and 11 were small. He bought big and lost small, so he took Lao Yang's chips away.

Lao Yang had no chips left, as he had used them up after two attempts. So he went to the exchange window, took out 1 Hong Kong dollars and handed them in. Then the window quickly sent out 10 chips, each worth 1000 yuan. Lao Yang also looked down on the casino. He thought that if he lost all the 1 yuan with one chip, he might not play anymore. Giving 1000 chips with a face value of 10 yuan is easy to take and easy to lose, and it can also whet the appetite. Smaller face values ​​will affect the casino's winning speed.

Lao Yang took 10 chips and walked to the gambling table. This time he came to the poker table and took a look. It was just a simple 21 points. Lao Yang stood by and watched others gamble twice, and then sat at the gambling table. The next round began to deal cards. Each person dealt a hidden card and an open card. People picked up the cards to check the points. Lao Yang also picked up the poker and took a look. The bottom card was a 5, and the open card was a 7, 12 points, so Lao Yang started to ask for cards. The dealer dealt a card, opened it and saw that it was a 5, 17 points, and Lao Yang continued to ask for cards. Another five, a direct bust. The dealer directly took away Lao Yang's cards and the bottom gold of 1000 yuan in chips.

Lao Yang also tried to collect the cards, and instantly took away one of his own cards. Lao Yang checked through the space and it was a five. He continued to deal the cards, and Lao Yang threw in a thousand yuan in chips. This time the hidden card was a 10, and the open card was a 2. Lao Yang continued to ask for cards, and the one that came was a 5. Lao Yang continued to ask for cards, and this time it was a 3. At 20, Lao Yang stopped asking for cards. After everyone had asked for cards, Lao Yang showed his hidden card, a total of 20 points, and the dealer had 19 points. Lao Yang won back 1000 chips. So Lao Yang pretended to be in high spirits and shouted to open the cards quickly! Lao Yang also took two cards from the cards, one 10 and one 3.

Then Lao Yang cheated by constantly changing cards and won 20 chips. Lao Yang saw that the dealer and the hooligans around the dealer looked at Lao Yang with jealousy, as if they might come up and teach Lao Yang a lesson at any time. So Lao Yang decisively stopped, picked up the chips and went to the window, exchanged 19 yuan, with a commission of yuan. Lao Yang was very satisfied and staggered out of the casino. No one chased him out to rob him, and the casino still looked quite grand.

When turning into the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel parking lot, a very pretty girl rushed out from the green belt next to it, stopped in front of Lao Yang, and said to him: "You poor boy! Are you going to stay at the Peninsula Hotel?" Then she looked up and down at Lao Yang's clothes and continued: "You don't look like a rich man, you are dressed so shabbily! How about it? Come with me! I will take you to stay in the hotel and eat Western food!"

Looking at this young girl who was about 20 years old, with a little nervousness in her eyes, Lao Yang smiled and said, "Yes! Yes! Big sister, are you going to protect me? Where is Big Sister from? If I follow Big Sister, will I get to live in the peninsula? I can eat Western food!"

Seeing Lao Yang's expression, the panic in the little girl's eyes slowly disappeared. She patted Lao Yang on the shoulder and said, "Of course! My name is very powerful. Who in the whole New Territories doesn't know me, Sister Haitang?"

Seeing her smug look, I really wanted to remind her that this is Kowloon, not the New Territories. But I still smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I will follow Sister Haitang from now on."

It seems that there will be a surprise in today’s show!
