Chapter 34 #B Side 3
Ding Qing was sitting in the church waiting for someone.
The evening clock had struck eight o'clock, the pastor was sweeping the floor, the other was very weak and had stopped coming, Luo Dafei was helping to clean the candlesticks, Ding Qing was sitting in the last row, looking at the pulpit from afar.Today, the place is also deserted, the candles in front of the stage are slightly swaying in the wind, and the interior lamps attached to the surrounding walls set off a quiet atmosphere.According to Ding Qing's instructions, the chandelier was turned off, and the moonlight poured down from the skylight above the pulpit, casting a light white circle of light in the dim church, covering the pulpit, which was a bit like holy light. The warm yellow candlelight danced in front of the courtyard, illuminating the head of the building; with the help of the interior lamps, the middle body would not be plunged into darkness, and the tail was not lit, so Ding Qing melted into the background of dark gold and purple patterns.
After finishing his work, the pastor packed his things and went back to the back hall. The quietness here made people more and more sleepy. Luo Dafei dozed off while wiping the candlesticks.
Ding Qing didn't, he was full of energy, waiting for someone to come.
The wooden door rang, Luo Dafei looked up, two doors were pushed open, and three people came in.
One of the three is out of place, Fang Musi.
The dresses of the other two are from the same school.The older one is more than 60 years old, but because of his sharp hands and feet and big steps, he looks much younger. He is less than 1.7 meters, his back is slightly bent, and he wears a thick military cap that covers his ears. His face is sallow and serious. He wrinkled his nose, and was wearing a khaki sweater, revealing the collar of a red autumn coat around his neck, and a bloated and tattered overcoat.But this person made Luo Dafei a little startled, because they looked at each other when they came in. They had puffy eyes and small eyes. No matter how he reacted, the man seemed to have got some news from this pair of eyes, and immediately turned his eyes away from Luo Dafei, looking for Ding Qing elsewhere, and his eyes finally fell on the man sitting on the right, but Ding Qing didn't even turn his head.
The young one is still a child, looks about sixteen seven, 1.8 meters five, but very thin, like a bamboo pole, with a slightly slumped back like the old one, wearing the same military cap and the same tattered overcoat, His skin is dark, his face is red from freezing all year round, his eyes turn around as soon as he comes in, he looks around, he is a little nervous, his nose is red, he stares curiously at Luo Dafei standing in front of the stage, he sucks his nose hard, and snores There was a sound, bringing back a stream of liquid that almost flowed out.
Ding Qing then turned to look at them.The old man immediately took off his hat, took a step forward, and bent over. Ding Qing nodded and glanced at Fang Musi. Fang Musi understood and pulled the child to Luo Dafei's place in front of the stage, leaving the two of them behind.
When the old man said hello, Ding Qing almost stood up and shook hands, but after thinking about the behavior of his grandfather and father when he was young, he felt that he still couldn't stand up.
Ding Qing moved to the side, and the old man sat down next to him, looking a little nervous, sitting halfway on his buttocks, leaning forward, with one hand on his knee, and the other clutching his hat tightly.
"I heard that you have been looking for me?" Ding Qing took out a cigarette, and the old man also took out a pipe from the inner pocket of his jacket. He glanced at Ding Qing, and Ding Qing nodded before he lit it.
"I found it."
"What are you looking for me for?" Ding Qing said in a hard tone, staring fixedly at the old man's red, swollen and cracked hand, which was holding the cigarette steadily.
"..." The old man didn't answer.
"How to call it?" Ding Qing continued to press.
"Ding Shou." The answer was still calm and forceful.
"When I was young, I went to the Northeast to celebrate the New Year. When I arrived in Harbin, I had to drive for five or six hours to pay New Year's greetings." Ding Qing slowed down and smoked a cigarette leisurely. "Until the age of 11. I remember Especially clear, the house is big, and there is a river behind the house, and my children and I used to skate on it... At that time, skating was really playing on the ice. I went to pay New Year's greetings at noon, and I called him at that time What's the matter, Third Grandpa?"
Ding Qing looked at the roof and spoke slowly. The old man held the cigarette pouch tightly in his hand and watched the light of his own.
"Then my grandfather died that year." Ding Qing blew a smoke ring, "I never went to Yanbian again, because my dad didn't want to go. I heard that your big house was also demolished?"
The old man's hand clenched suddenly, and Ding Qing noticed it.Ding Qing stared at the old man, and the old man stared at the cigarette pouch.The old man's face was thin and fleshless, like a piece of old tree bark wrapped around the skull, which had been filled with years to form a human figure; the lower lip protruded and protruded beyond the upper lip, which magnified the expression of the mouth, For example, now, Ding Qing could see the old man's lower lip trembling slightly, revealing his nervousness. It was the anxiety that he wanted to speak but couldn't express properly.
Ding Qing took it to test: "In terms of seniority, I have to call you uncle. My dad has never relied on the Ding family. Grandpa thinks about it every year, and my dad will never go to Yanbian."
The old man finally relaxed a bit, and frowned: "The Patriarch also has his own plans..."
Ding Qing directly ignored his words: "Now that the Ding family has reached this point, the business has been divided, and people's hearts have been scattered. Uncle Ding Shou, you are of the same ancestor as me, so you have the heart to see the Ding family fall to this extent?"
"...Ding Mao...isn't he still there?" the old man said hesitantly.
"Ding Mao's father followed the Patriarch's branch out of the Northeast a long time ago, and those who stayed in the Northeast like you are the source of the Ding Family. He is not the Patriarch's branch, and the other is not the source branch. What use can he be? "
The old man was smoking a cigarette, listening to Ding Qing talking in his ear, his mind was confused for a while, but Ding Qing spoke in a calm manner, not as loud as his grandfather, nor as impatient as his father, if he wanted to say something It feels like there is a coldness and ruthlessness hidden behind certain words.
————————————————————————————————————————
The Ding family can be counted up to the Ming Dynasty by looking up the family tree.When Ding Qing sorted out Ding Huaming's belongings, he found the family tree. It was found that his grandfather wanted to identify his ancestors and find someone to collect them. There were both real and fake ones.There were butchers selling butchers on the street and shoe repairers in the village in his ancestors. Ding Qing just skipped over such messy things. Since his great-grandfather's generation, the mess has become a mess.There are many Ding families, they are arrogant and famous in many places, and the command of the suppression and suppression has changed four or five times in ten years, and the Ding family also began to have a "patriarch" at that time.
Ding Qing's great-grandfather is the first "head of the family". On the one hand, he can fight the government army wits and bravely, and on the other hand, he can drive the casino smokehouse Chunfengyuan.Later, the situation in the Northeast changed, and the local gangsters changed their appearances and became the army. The head of the family was a step too late. He didn't see the signal of the prosperity of the military power in the troubled times, so he couldn't raise the banner to stand alone, but he was appreciated by a certain warlord surnamed Zhang, and under his wing , developed rapidly, and was proud of the spring breeze, and it was even more beautiful during the generalissimo period.The head of the family finally came to his senses and sent the youngsters in the family to Guangzhou to attend a military academy.
The good days don't last long, the world changes three times a day, and the war in troubled times is like a meat grinder. The children who were sent out were full of enthusiasm, singing "Raging Tide" and "Breaking a Bloody Road". Looking at the rising sun flag again.The sky changed in the northeast, and the Ding family became silent again. Only Ding Qing's grandfather, who stayed at home because of his young age, was left in the head of the family. When his great-grandfather died, his grandfather led those who could walk and were willing to follow, and ran out of the northeast.The younger generation in the side branch, Ding San and Ding Liu, stayed in their hometown.
The new owner was lucky, he stood on the right side in the decisive battle, and joined the party early.Because the family property is not clean, he can't be considered a poor and lower-middle peasant. For a period of time, he did a lot of undercover work in order to prove that his roots were upright.After climbing the wrong branch, the Ding family withdrew from the center.It doesn't matter if you quit, you won't mess with anyone, and you don't want power and only want money.The Ding family gradually gained a firm foothold, and grew stronger through some waves of revival. It stretched out, connecting Yanbian in the north and Lingshui in the south.The structure of the Ding family also became clear at this time. The branches left in the Northeast were in decline and fell apart, all relying on the relief of the family owner, but the relief was not free. It also rolled over from the tip of the knife, but now that he has a head and a face, it is inconvenient to do it.Therefore, although the head of the family is generous, the people of the two branches are getting more and more biased.Ding Shou is a member of Ding Liuyi.
When it came to Ding Qing's father, the wave of reforms was rising, the government and enterprises had to be separated, and the dividends were based on performance. The head of the family was also in a good mood. , Grandpa Ding Qing, in front of the boss, doesn't help anyone, doesn't care about anything.Ding Qing's father built his own business map step by step. In the northeast, there is Zhao Huashan, heavy industry, real estate industry, coal mines, oil fields, and government-enterprise cooperation; Guangzhou is Liu Yao, entertainment industry; Wenzhou is Jiang Feng, which is engaged in transportation business ; There is Gauguin in Hainan, mainly doing tourism business.Ding Qing knew this.Ding Qing's father's generation is the most profitable, because it just caught up with the process of national power development.
When discussing the underworld, what is being discussed.
What Ding Qing doesn't know is that this seemingly loose territory is actually a very complete and efficient chain of interests.There are many unrecorded mines and gas fields under the name of the Ding family, which are operated by Zhao Huashan, and the income is not included in the company's revenue and will not be reported; although Jiang Feng is in Wenzhou, he manages large and small ports, mixed with high Expensive goods, even large amounts of cash, have not been investigated. Gao Chang lives in Hainan and is a frequent visitor to a small country in the South China Sea. Drugs in Southeast Asia, during the most glorious period, 60% of Guangding's family handled [-]%, and Gauguin was in charge.Illegal income is bleached by Liu Yao, Liu Yao's entertainment department, producing big-budget trash movies, holding sold-out empty concerts, buying a bottle of Sprite [-] in luxury restaurants, holding celebrity charity auctions, and selling a glass bottle for a million dollars .In addition to them, there are also other people's names, a magic taxi company with a monthly income of [-] yuan for three vehicles, small trading companies and medium-sized consulting companies that are blooming everywhere, and a famous overseas company.
This industrial chain has been in operation for quite a long time, until the owner saw the signal of change and wanted to move the territory.On the one hand, it is the decline of traditional industries, and more importantly, on the other hand, it is the change of the upper political structure.Under the circumstances that it was difficult to reach the original income level, the head of the family considered political priority and left the mainland first, and the people below also had their own ideas.The one thing in common is that this transfer must be reorganized, the business must be reorganized, and everyone must make confessions to the owner;
So the Patriarch must die.
Liu Yao is the easiest one to launder. He has a brain and knows how to do business. He still has a lot to do without the money laundering function. Although his company is in Guangzhou, Liu Yao lives in Hong Kong all the year round. Liu Yao simply reorganized his company and planned to become independent. He owns a casino in Macau and a ballroom in Hong Kong. In addition to money-laundering bad movies, he also has many excellent works under his banner. He has signed contracts with big stars and big directors, and he has the least dependence on the Ding family.On the contrary, Gauguin has dealt with drug dealers for many years, is vicious and violent, has never participated in the back-end operation of the capital chain under the intervention of the owner, and cannot carry out money laundering activities independently. If he leaves the Ding family, he will become a criminal through and through. A life in hiding.Jiang Feng was ambiguous. Originally, it didn't matter to him whether he had the Ding family or not. He was not Gauguin, and he didn't dislike using his brains. He wasn't always guarded by the Ding family like Gauguin.It's just that now that there is an opportunity to annex the Ding family, naturally they will not let it go.Zhao Huashan has no interest. He has his own real estate business and mining business, and has roots in the Northeast. He has never thought of relocating, and he doesn't want to get involved in the drug business.

The old man hadn't smoked for a long time, and the fireworks were flickering on and off.
"Actually, I went to look for you last time," the old man said hesitantly, always looking down at the front, or looking at his own cigarettes, and never glanced at Ding Qing, "The main reason is to get some... bonus... you I also know that the previous patriarchs have given us quarterly... this time it has been too long..."
Ding Qing turned his head and glanced at him, then turned back again, and found that he had almost smoked, took it out of his mouth and threw it on the ground, stomped it out with the toe of his shoe, kicked it away, took out another one, lit himself, and smoked. He mumbled in his mouth: "With the money, you still let me go to Yanbian to pick up that kid?"
The old man suddenly turned his head to look at Ding Qing, flames sprang up from the end of the cigarette, illuminating Ding Qing's expressionless face.
Ding Qing put away the lighter, took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled, leaned back relaxedly, leaned on the back of the chair, with his arms stretched out on the back of the chair: "Let's be clear, your house has been demolished since you haven't paid me for so long, Ding Qing Mao is in the position, and he is not interested in Ding, Ding, Ding and Liu. If you don’t choose me, what will you do? Will you rot in the soil? Or what, with so many of you, do you want to farm or start a business?”
The old man's hands finally showed signs of shaking.
Ding Qing finally understood that the old man's only guard and nervousness was because of negotiations.
Ding Qing's tone softened, and he raised his chin towards the three people standing in front of the stage: "I understand your thoughts, what's that child's name?"
The old man's cigarette had already been extinguished. He put away his cigarette bag, rubbed his hands and face again: "Ding Fu."
"Ding Fu, just follow me. If there is mine, there will be his, and if there is him, there will be yours. My family must be supported by myself, so you can go back without worry."
The old man still hesitated.
Ding Qing pinched his cigarette, leaned over to keep parallel with the old man, and vowed: "Uncle Ding Shou, you have to trust me, the board of directors will be held soon, and Ding Mao will be elected immediately, and victory is in sight at that time."
Ding Qing's words were completely nonsense, anyway, Ding Shou didn't know.
Ding Shou really didn't know, he was always in the outer circle, he couldn't even recognize the manager of the Ding family, he didn't understand anything, he just thought that being the head of the family would be all right.Thinking that Ding Mao didn't even want to see them anyway, so he wanted to come to Ding Qing to see what was going on, took the junior over, and wanted to join Ding Qing, but found that Ding Qing didn't seem to be able to talk, so let's negotiate with Ding Qing, but no matter what He didn't know how to speak, Ding Qing said the words over and over again, and even guessed in his mind, but he couldn't figure out the context when he arrived.But keeping someone by the young master's side wouldn't hurt their family, even though they didn't ask for money.
Ding Shou nodded.
Ding Qing looked at the clumsy Ding Shou and nodded, leaned back on the back again, and slowly took out another cigarette.Ding Shou still leaned forward, took out his cigarette pouch, and struck a match to light his cigarette.
The two were silent with each other's thoughts.
————————————————————————————————————————
Luo Dafei rushed out immediately after class. At 09:30 in the evening, Ding Qing asked him to eat food stalls.He was riding a bicycle on the road, and he was talking on the phone with Apple through his earphones.Little Apple asked him if he was busy now, and Luo Dafei was pedaling his wheels desperately to catch the green light, while replying to her that he was not busy.
When Luo Dafei arrived at the place out of breath and Ding Qing hadn't arrived yet, Luo Dafei locked the car, stood on the side of the road leaning against the wall and happily chatted with Little Apple, it would be even better if Ding Qing missed the appointment.
Ding Qing didn't break the appointment. When he came, he saw such a scene. Luo Dafei was leaning against the wall, looking shy, staring at his toes, giggling, and talking on the phone as if no one else was there. Take a second look.Ding Qing was so excited, could it be that he was talking about the nineteenth ban?Walking over to listen, Luo Dafei was facing the microphone: "Then your hand must hurt so much, let me rub it for you."
Ding Qing couldn't control it, and kicked Luo Dafei's leg. Luo Dafei was startled, and cursed: "Fuck, who the hell..."
He turned his head and saw that it was Ding Qing, and whispered softly into the microphone again: "Brother Qing is here, I'm going to eat... Who cursed someone?... It wasn't me, there was someone next to me just now..."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Dafei heheed a few times in embarrassment: "Where to eat?"
Ding Qing walked into the street with his arms around Luo Dafei's shoulders: "Yeah, it's going well."
This street is more lively at night than during the day. It is an ordinary local snack street with small shops and steaming supper stalls protruding from the facades, making the street even smaller.Most of the signboards are white and red letters, only written in Cantonese, not even English, obviously not a place for tourists.There was a lot of people, and it was agreed that tables and tables of guests gathered in the designated area, cheering loudly, the guests were sitting up and sitting up and down, and cigarette butts were scattered under their feet.
Ding Qing walked in the street with Luo Dafei's shoulders on his shoulders, discussing street snacks, buying two skewers when he was hungry, stopping and walking, jokingly wandering in the street, as if he used to play around all night.
They ended up sitting at a barbecue stand at the end of the street.
There are not many people at the barbecue stand, and the weather is cold, so a shed was sloppily built outside the stand, and the opposite street can be seen through the plastic sheeting.This is the store that Ding Qing wanted to bring Luo Dafei to.
Luo Dafei didn't ask any questions, but looked carefully at the menu, and humbly asked Ding Qing what to write.
"Who did you learn Cantonese from?" Luo Dafei took a sip of his wine and trembled with excitement.
"You hang out in a nightclub." Ding Qing also took a sip of wine. It's not a good wine, and it tastes bad if you smash it, but it's refreshingly cold.
Luo Dafei fiddled with the barbecue in front of him, and Ding Qing looked at the opposite side. The two chatted nonchalantly, chatting about trivial matters, and laughed heartlessly.
After drinking the third bottle, Luo Dafei's face started to turn red. As if he remembered something, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Ding Qing.
"What is this?" Ding Qing reached out to take it.
"Just...you see." Luo Dafei refilled his cup.
Ding Qing looked down and saw that it was a bank card.
"Didn't I find a job? The boss paid the wages first, so I thought I'd pay back some..." Luo Dafei peeled the shrimp and pouted his mouth this way.
Ding Qing casually threw the envelope on the dinner table: "What do you mean?"
Luo Dafei was a little startled by his cold tone, and stopped peeling the shrimp: "Just...you found my tuition fees, accommodation, and I will always pay you back..."
He was interrupted by Ding Qing before he finished speaking: "No need."
Luo Dafei was very persistent and confident: "Don't talk about it, I will definitely pay back your money. To be a human being, you must show affection."
Ding Qing put down his wine glass: "If you have money to pay me back, why don't you send it to your mother first."
Luo Dafei immediately had nothing to say, his heart was blocked, and he didn't want to eat the shrimp.
Neither of them spoke, Luo Dafei drank another glass of wine, then looked down at the table with a listless look.Ding Qing put his arms on the table and looked at Luo Dafei with a serious expression: "Luo Dafei, what do you think I asked you to do?"
Luo Dafei looked up at him, hesitantly said: "... help?"
Ding Qing was not so serious, and felt a little funny: "Help for what?"
"I don't know." Luo Dafei looked a little distressed, "The main reason was that you called me at that time, I thought you might want revenge, and I thought I could help if I could."
Ding Qing smiled: "You came here because you didn't know anything?"
Luo Dafei hummed.
Ding Qing shook his head: "What about after revenge?"
Luo Dafei didn't speak, and listened to Ding Qing.
"Then what are you going to do? At the beginning, I was going crazy. I couldn't sleep all night. I didn't know what to do. I thought that my family would be ruined. I must not lose. Wanting to explode in rage, but can't do anything. Really can't do anything."
Ding Qing raised his head and looked at Luo Dafei, Luo Dafei was a little startled.
"I don't have anyone to talk to. My mother is also in a state of distress. Fortunately, I met someone who is nice and kind of reassuring..." Ding Qing drank his wine, his eyes were a little blank.
"So I thought, what's the point of paying me blood for revenge? Damn they are two rounds older than me. If I don't do anything, they will always die in front of me. I will go to the United States with my mother, and I will spend the rest of my life. It's over, go to grandpa and grandma, don't you still eat and wear well, and don't have to stir up trouble. Just admit it, they want me to sign the contract, just sign it, sign it, and leave. I don't care about the future, I'm fine No, they won't make it difficult for me. Isn't it good?" Ding Qing stopped drinking and stared straight at Luo Dafei.
Luo Dafei also put down his wine glass, and suddenly became serious, unable to speak for a while, after thinking for a long time, he whispered: "Then are you willing?"
"What should I do if I don't want to be reconciled? I want to have no one else, I want to have no skills, and the friends around me are only too old, and they don't have real power. How about risking my life just to win?" Ding Qing put potatoes on the plate. "What about you? Called you all the way to take risks, just to win my breath?"
Luo Dafei was very upset, and ordered another bottle of wine.
There was a sudden noise outside, as if someone was fighting, and the sound of wine bottles breaking could be heard. Several people were yelling, one of them was particularly loud, and then there was a burst of car noise, which was even more noisy mixed with shouting.
Luo Dafei was not in the mood to watch, Ding Qing turned his head and stared at the movement across the road very concerned.
The riot was quickly suppressed, and the street was quiet for a while, returning to the normal hustle and bustle of human voices.
The boss brought up the wine, which was taken out of the freezer. Luo Dafei took it and opened it, poured it for himself, drank half of the glass, put down the glass, and stared at Ding Qing: "Brother Qing, call me, what do you want?" What's the matter?"
Ding Qing was looking at the other side with great interest to clean up the mess. After hearing Luo Dafei's words, he suddenly became serious, opened his heart and lungs, and said word by word: "I want to be successful, I want to be the head of the family, and I want their lives. I want their money, their status, and their business, I want to prosper, and I want to be a leader.”
Luo Dafei was taken aback by this sudden confession, and the ambition in Ding Qing's eyes was about to overflow, as if the charcoal hidden in the dark saw the sunlight and wanted to burst out of control.
Luo Dafei was puzzled: "Then you say revenge is useless..."
"I'm talking about you." Ding Qing's eyes sparkled, "You don't think about anything, you don't ask anything, and you come here to help me for nothing, and it's over? Don't you want to be prosperous? You don't want to glorify your ancestors and let your mother Are you proud? Don't you want to show off and be respected by everyone?"
Luo Dafei was stunned for a moment.
"So, we're not here for revenge." Ding Qing slowed down his tone, "You and I, brother, come out to play for the sake of prosperity. Only ambition is worth working hard for."
Luo Dafei fell into a state of being brainwashed.
Ding Qing poured wine for him, and poured wine for himself: "There is still a long way to go. It is hard to say what I will do in the future and where I will go, but I have confidence and a plan. I will be the captain. So Ah, Luo Dafei," Ding Qing looked at Luo Dafei's drooping head, and finally said his purpose, "Get on my boat."
Luo Dafei was in a mess.
He played with Ding Qing since he was a child, but he was an outsider from the beginning to the end. It is already obvious what Ding Qing meant.When he came to Hong Kong, Luo Dafei actually didn't think about it so much. As friends, brothers would naturally come if they were in trouble, just to help.When I arrived, I realized that things were not what I thought.
A boy becomes an adult overnight.When seeing the people around Liu Yao, Luo Dafei understood it almost instantly.It's not a small fight in the class, it's not a brawl in the street outside the school, no one is hot-blooded, no one comes to deal with the aftermath, everything is cold.But Luo Dafei didn't think about leaving, and didn't want to live up to Ding Qing's expectations. Ding Qing's expectations in his mind might let him help escape, fight, or remotely control the bomb/bomb like in the movie.
Tonight Ding Qing told him clearly, no.Come on this road, and follow me to the dark.If Luo Dafei refuses, Ding Qing will definitely not persuade him again. He is in Hong Kong, if he has money, he can continue to study, if he doesn't want to stay, he can go back, and everyone will go their separate ways.It's normal to part ways. Originally, Ding Qing and I were not in the same world. It was only because Ding Qing took him that we entered each other's world.Otherwise, Luo Dafei would not hang out in high-end clubs, and invite dozens of people to hold birthday parties all night; Ding Qing would not hang around in dilapidated alleys, going to Luo Dafei's mother's small restaurant for dinner at every turn.
But Ding Qing also made it clear, don't do it for the sake of repaying a favor, which implies that things in the future will be much more dangerous, beyond the scope of "helping". Ding Qing had to say that Luo Dafei had to make the choice himself.
Luo Dafei began the most serious thinking since he was born.
Ding Qing sat opposite him with a calm expression, drank a couple of sips of wine, took out his mobile phone and chatted with Yan Wu, about dogs, about Yan Wu's desire to start a business and open a boxing ring.
Luo Dafei thought about many people and things, and couldn't figure it out for a while, but there was a clear picture in his mind.When he was just hanging out with Ding Qing, Ding Qing took the lead for him, and the image of Ding Qing stepping on the boy's head in the urinal is now lingering in Luo Dafei's mind.Ding Qing seems to be born with the ability to be arrogant, and everyone takes Ding Qing's arrogance for granted.This is very unreasonable.People around are willing to play with Ding Qing, saying that he is courageous and confident, but self-confidence must also be cultivated. If Ding Qing had not come from a prominent family background, how could he develop such arrogance?It's always like this in school, among the boys, the rich ones hang out with the handsome ones, Luo Dafei is pulled in for no reason, to watch the young men mess around.But there is a huge gap between people. My mother worked hard from dawn to dusk, and did everything she could. The restaurant business was still not good, and she was struggling to make ends meet. It was not worth the effort of Ding Qing. The restaurant moved into the CBD commercial street. , The monthly rent is only a symbolic 3000, and the business will only pick up if the geomantic omen is a treasure.
Luo Dafei is now thinking, if he gets on Ding Qing's boat, where will he go?Where in five years, prison?died?Or die in prison?But if you are lucky, will you be able to go out one day and hug each other, live a luxurious life, and put antiques and antiques at home, everyone will look up to them?In and out of high society, have their own boat, their own plane, their own business.In the future, my descendants will also be able to act arrogantly as they should.
Luo Dafei raised his head and saw that Ding Qing was knocking on a handful of sunflower seeds he bought, concentrating on chatting with his mobile phone.
Or go the other way.Go to school diligently and frugally, graduate from a prestigious school, and have average intelligence. Try to find a solid job.My mother's business is doing well, her debts have been paid off, she finally started saving money, and her life is about to get on the right track. I can't make a choice to live up to her expectations.Work and live in peace and stability, one day I will be able to move out of the back alleys, change to a better house, try to keep up with the development of Beijing, live a serious life from [-] to [-], marry a gentle woman, maybe a little apple, Have a child, find a good school district, work hard, have seniors and juniors, travel occasionally, play with dogs every day, ordinary, ordinary, safe and secure.Is it not good?
……
……
not good.
For the 20-year-old Luo Dafei, that wasn't good enough.
Luo Dafei picked up the wine glass and raised his head to drink it, then put the glass back heavily. The sound of the bottom of the glass hitting the table made Ding Qing look up at him.
Luo Dafei took a breath stimulated by the cold wine, and then looked at Ding Qing seriously: "Then go ahead. What do you want me to do?"
Ding Qing smiled, raised his wine glass and touched Luo Dafei, then turned to look across the road: "Wait a minute."
Luo Dafei felt relieved suddenly, some distant fantasies and hopes became the main theme of his thoughts at this moment, and the more he thought about it, the more optimistic he became, as if success was in sight.It seems to be just a small decision, although life may turn a corner from here.
The two reached a consensus and chatted casually again.Luo Dafei's long and strange psychological struggle just now has also turned into some kind of indescribable force at this moment, Luo Dafei will be looking in the same direction as Ding Qing for a long time.He was preparing himself for this.
It was almost two o'clock, and after the barbecue stall, only the boss who packed things was left.The boss cleaned up all the other tables, only Ding Qing and Luo Dafei's table was messed up. The two of them had finished their meal and had almost drunk their wine. They hunched their necks and ate melon seeds in the windy midnight.Although the street of the night market was all night, the lights were turned off quite a bit at this time. The boss didn't look at them or drive them away, and leaned behind the counter and dozed off little by little.
Ding Qing's hunched back suddenly straightened up, staring at the KTV opposite, patted the debris on his hand: "Look over there!"
Luo Dafei followed his gaze. Seven or eight people came out of two black cars, and a woman was going up to meet them. Ding Qing said, "Look at the one who walked ahead, the one who was still wearing sunglasses that night."
Luo Dafei quickly locked on a person because of these words.
"That man's name is Ding Biao." Ding Qing explained beside him.
A group of people rushed into the arena, Ding Qing and Luo Dafei looked away.Ding Qing talked about Yuanyuan while eating melon seeds: "Liu Wen was drunk that day, and when I sent him to his woman's house, I said a few words to that person. He mentioned that his name was Ding Biao, not Liu Biao."
Luo Dafei looked at Ding Qing in surprise.
"It happened that Liu Wen was drunk, and I chatted with Ding Biao for a while while smoking in the yard. Those who work under them are all surnamed Ding."
Luo Dafei was in chaos: "The Ding family? Your Ding family is so prosperous?"
"Listen to me." Ding Qing waved his hand, "What the Ding family said is that they are really related by blood, no matter how far away the relatives are. The surname of the big brother who entered the Tao. Like Liu Wen and Liu Pu, they follow the surname of Liu Yao, but they were all popular 20 years ago. Look at the people like Guan Jiefeng, they don’t do this at all. Ding Biao When I was a teenager, I was in Yunnan. At that time, Liu Yao hadn’t grown up, and the entire Ding Group was named Ding. Liu Yao was just his direct leader. That is, the three or four children who were adopted by Liu Yao Haier took Liu Yao's surname. Later, when Liu Yao went to Guangzhou and Hong Kong, they followed him all the time. So," Ding Qing's tone slowed down, "not only Liu Yao, Jiang Feng, Gauguin and others, Many of them should be surnamed Ding."
Luo Dafei also followed Ding Qing's thinking, nodded his head, and said happily: "That is to say... a cloud-piercing arrow, and thousands of troops come to meet each other?"
"How is it possible?" Ding Qing smiled, "They're not fools, they will listen to me if they don't give food and drink to the boss who gives bonuses?"
Ding Qing leaned forward and leaned in Luo Dafei's direction: "I mean, people like them are no different from anyone else. If I am about to win, they will stand by my side."
Luo Dafei nodded slowly: "But when will you win?"
"That's right. I haven't declared war with Liu Yao yet. Of course, I am declared dead now, so I can't move for the time being." Ding Qing paused, stretched out his right hand, and pressed his fingertips on the table lightly, very Seriously, "If you don't target Liu Yao, some small favors are also useful to them. And they must know more than me. But I can't get close to them. Liu Yao must also let them pay attention to talking to me. Come on Ding Biao This time, apart from talking about my own experience, I kept silent when asked about his itinerary."
Luo Dafei hummed: "I see, you want me to go."
"Yes. This place is their base camp. If I call Ding Biao suddenly, nine times out of ten when I am not busy, I will be here. I have been here two or three times myself, but I dare not go by. The people in this shop are familiar with them. I think you come here to drink and sing, and see if you can get acquainted with them. I will pay for the money, and you should be generous. Treat more guests and spend whatever you want. If you have money, you don’t have to worry about paying it. Not a friend."
Luo Dafei looked at the neon lights across the road and made up his mind: "Success."
Then suddenly remembered something, a little funny, grinned: "You still know?"
"what do you know?"
"If you have money, you can make friends."
"Of course, I'm probably friends
The evening clock had struck eight o'clock, the pastor was sweeping the floor, the other was very weak and had stopped coming, Luo Dafei was helping to clean the candlesticks, Ding Qing was sitting in the last row, looking at the pulpit from afar.Today, the place is also deserted, the candles in front of the stage are slightly swaying in the wind, and the interior lamps attached to the surrounding walls set off a quiet atmosphere.According to Ding Qing's instructions, the chandelier was turned off, and the moonlight poured down from the skylight above the pulpit, casting a light white circle of light in the dim church, covering the pulpit, which was a bit like holy light. The warm yellow candlelight danced in front of the courtyard, illuminating the head of the building; with the help of the interior lamps, the middle body would not be plunged into darkness, and the tail was not lit, so Ding Qing melted into the background of dark gold and purple patterns.
After finishing his work, the pastor packed his things and went back to the back hall. The quietness here made people more and more sleepy. Luo Dafei dozed off while wiping the candlesticks.
Ding Qing didn't, he was full of energy, waiting for someone to come.
The wooden door rang, Luo Dafei looked up, two doors were pushed open, and three people came in.
One of the three is out of place, Fang Musi.
The dresses of the other two are from the same school.The older one is more than 60 years old, but because of his sharp hands and feet and big steps, he looks much younger. He is less than 1.7 meters, his back is slightly bent, and he wears a thick military cap that covers his ears. His face is sallow and serious. He wrinkled his nose, and was wearing a khaki sweater, revealing the collar of a red autumn coat around his neck, and a bloated and tattered overcoat.But this person made Luo Dafei a little startled, because they looked at each other when they came in. They had puffy eyes and small eyes. No matter how he reacted, the man seemed to have got some news from this pair of eyes, and immediately turned his eyes away from Luo Dafei, looking for Ding Qing elsewhere, and his eyes finally fell on the man sitting on the right, but Ding Qing didn't even turn his head.
The young one is still a child, looks about sixteen seven, 1.8 meters five, but very thin, like a bamboo pole, with a slightly slumped back like the old one, wearing the same military cap and the same tattered overcoat, His skin is dark, his face is red from freezing all year round, his eyes turn around as soon as he comes in, he looks around, he is a little nervous, his nose is red, he stares curiously at Luo Dafei standing in front of the stage, he sucks his nose hard, and snores There was a sound, bringing back a stream of liquid that almost flowed out.
Ding Qing then turned to look at them.The old man immediately took off his hat, took a step forward, and bent over. Ding Qing nodded and glanced at Fang Musi. Fang Musi understood and pulled the child to Luo Dafei's place in front of the stage, leaving the two of them behind.
When the old man said hello, Ding Qing almost stood up and shook hands, but after thinking about the behavior of his grandfather and father when he was young, he felt that he still couldn't stand up.
Ding Qing moved to the side, and the old man sat down next to him, looking a little nervous, sitting halfway on his buttocks, leaning forward, with one hand on his knee, and the other clutching his hat tightly.
"I heard that you have been looking for me?" Ding Qing took out a cigarette, and the old man also took out a pipe from the inner pocket of his jacket. He glanced at Ding Qing, and Ding Qing nodded before he lit it.
"I found it."
"What are you looking for me for?" Ding Qing said in a hard tone, staring fixedly at the old man's red, swollen and cracked hand, which was holding the cigarette steadily.
"..." The old man didn't answer.
"How to call it?" Ding Qing continued to press.
"Ding Shou." The answer was still calm and forceful.
"When I was young, I went to the Northeast to celebrate the New Year. When I arrived in Harbin, I had to drive for five or six hours to pay New Year's greetings." Ding Qing slowed down and smoked a cigarette leisurely. "Until the age of 11. I remember Especially clear, the house is big, and there is a river behind the house, and my children and I used to skate on it... At that time, skating was really playing on the ice. I went to pay New Year's greetings at noon, and I called him at that time What's the matter, Third Grandpa?"
Ding Qing looked at the roof and spoke slowly. The old man held the cigarette pouch tightly in his hand and watched the light of his own.
"Then my grandfather died that year." Ding Qing blew a smoke ring, "I never went to Yanbian again, because my dad didn't want to go. I heard that your big house was also demolished?"
The old man's hand clenched suddenly, and Ding Qing noticed it.Ding Qing stared at the old man, and the old man stared at the cigarette pouch.The old man's face was thin and fleshless, like a piece of old tree bark wrapped around the skull, which had been filled with years to form a human figure; the lower lip protruded and protruded beyond the upper lip, which magnified the expression of the mouth, For example, now, Ding Qing could see the old man's lower lip trembling slightly, revealing his nervousness. It was the anxiety that he wanted to speak but couldn't express properly.
Ding Qing took it to test: "In terms of seniority, I have to call you uncle. My dad has never relied on the Ding family. Grandpa thinks about it every year, and my dad will never go to Yanbian."
The old man finally relaxed a bit, and frowned: "The Patriarch also has his own plans..."
Ding Qing directly ignored his words: "Now that the Ding family has reached this point, the business has been divided, and people's hearts have been scattered. Uncle Ding Shou, you are of the same ancestor as me, so you have the heart to see the Ding family fall to this extent?"
"...Ding Mao...isn't he still there?" the old man said hesitantly.
"Ding Mao's father followed the Patriarch's branch out of the Northeast a long time ago, and those who stayed in the Northeast like you are the source of the Ding Family. He is not the Patriarch's branch, and the other is not the source branch. What use can he be? "
The old man was smoking a cigarette, listening to Ding Qing talking in his ear, his mind was confused for a while, but Ding Qing spoke in a calm manner, not as loud as his grandfather, nor as impatient as his father, if he wanted to say something It feels like there is a coldness and ruthlessness hidden behind certain words.
————————————————————————————————————————
The Ding family can be counted up to the Ming Dynasty by looking up the family tree.When Ding Qing sorted out Ding Huaming's belongings, he found the family tree. It was found that his grandfather wanted to identify his ancestors and find someone to collect them. There were both real and fake ones.There were butchers selling butchers on the street and shoe repairers in the village in his ancestors. Ding Qing just skipped over such messy things. Since his great-grandfather's generation, the mess has become a mess.There are many Ding families, they are arrogant and famous in many places, and the command of the suppression and suppression has changed four or five times in ten years, and the Ding family also began to have a "patriarch" at that time.
Ding Qing's great-grandfather is the first "head of the family". On the one hand, he can fight the government army wits and bravely, and on the other hand, he can drive the casino smokehouse Chunfengyuan.Later, the situation in the Northeast changed, and the local gangsters changed their appearances and became the army. The head of the family was a step too late. He didn't see the signal of the prosperity of the military power in the troubled times, so he couldn't raise the banner to stand alone, but he was appreciated by a certain warlord surnamed Zhang, and under his wing , developed rapidly, and was proud of the spring breeze, and it was even more beautiful during the generalissimo period.The head of the family finally came to his senses and sent the youngsters in the family to Guangzhou to attend a military academy.
The good days don't last long, the world changes three times a day, and the war in troubled times is like a meat grinder. The children who were sent out were full of enthusiasm, singing "Raging Tide" and "Breaking a Bloody Road". Looking at the rising sun flag again.The sky changed in the northeast, and the Ding family became silent again. Only Ding Qing's grandfather, who stayed at home because of his young age, was left in the head of the family. When his great-grandfather died, his grandfather led those who could walk and were willing to follow, and ran out of the northeast.The younger generation in the side branch, Ding San and Ding Liu, stayed in their hometown.
The new owner was lucky, he stood on the right side in the decisive battle, and joined the party early.Because the family property is not clean, he can't be considered a poor and lower-middle peasant. For a period of time, he did a lot of undercover work in order to prove that his roots were upright.After climbing the wrong branch, the Ding family withdrew from the center.It doesn't matter if you quit, you won't mess with anyone, and you don't want power and only want money.The Ding family gradually gained a firm foothold, and grew stronger through some waves of revival. It stretched out, connecting Yanbian in the north and Lingshui in the south.The structure of the Ding family also became clear at this time. The branches left in the Northeast were in decline and fell apart, all relying on the relief of the family owner, but the relief was not free. It also rolled over from the tip of the knife, but now that he has a head and a face, it is inconvenient to do it.Therefore, although the head of the family is generous, the people of the two branches are getting more and more biased.Ding Shou is a member of Ding Liuyi.
When it came to Ding Qing's father, the wave of reforms was rising, the government and enterprises had to be separated, and the dividends were based on performance. The head of the family was also in a good mood. , Grandpa Ding Qing, in front of the boss, doesn't help anyone, doesn't care about anything.Ding Qing's father built his own business map step by step. In the northeast, there is Zhao Huashan, heavy industry, real estate industry, coal mines, oil fields, and government-enterprise cooperation; Guangzhou is Liu Yao, entertainment industry; Wenzhou is Jiang Feng, which is engaged in transportation business ; There is Gauguin in Hainan, mainly doing tourism business.Ding Qing knew this.Ding Qing's father's generation is the most profitable, because it just caught up with the process of national power development.
When discussing the underworld, what is being discussed.
What Ding Qing doesn't know is that this seemingly loose territory is actually a very complete and efficient chain of interests.There are many unrecorded mines and gas fields under the name of the Ding family, which are operated by Zhao Huashan, and the income is not included in the company's revenue and will not be reported; although Jiang Feng is in Wenzhou, he manages large and small ports, mixed with high Expensive goods, even large amounts of cash, have not been investigated. Gao Chang lives in Hainan and is a frequent visitor to a small country in the South China Sea. Drugs in Southeast Asia, during the most glorious period, 60% of Guangding's family handled [-]%, and Gauguin was in charge.Illegal income is bleached by Liu Yao, Liu Yao's entertainment department, producing big-budget trash movies, holding sold-out empty concerts, buying a bottle of Sprite [-] in luxury restaurants, holding celebrity charity auctions, and selling a glass bottle for a million dollars .In addition to them, there are also other people's names, a magic taxi company with a monthly income of [-] yuan for three vehicles, small trading companies and medium-sized consulting companies that are blooming everywhere, and a famous overseas company.
This industrial chain has been in operation for quite a long time, until the owner saw the signal of change and wanted to move the territory.On the one hand, it is the decline of traditional industries, and more importantly, on the other hand, it is the change of the upper political structure.Under the circumstances that it was difficult to reach the original income level, the head of the family considered political priority and left the mainland first, and the people below also had their own ideas.The one thing in common is that this transfer must be reorganized, the business must be reorganized, and everyone must make confessions to the owner;
So the Patriarch must die.
Liu Yao is the easiest one to launder. He has a brain and knows how to do business. He still has a lot to do without the money laundering function. Although his company is in Guangzhou, Liu Yao lives in Hong Kong all the year round. Liu Yao simply reorganized his company and planned to become independent. He owns a casino in Macau and a ballroom in Hong Kong. In addition to money-laundering bad movies, he also has many excellent works under his banner. He has signed contracts with big stars and big directors, and he has the least dependence on the Ding family.On the contrary, Gauguin has dealt with drug dealers for many years, is vicious and violent, has never participated in the back-end operation of the capital chain under the intervention of the owner, and cannot carry out money laundering activities independently. If he leaves the Ding family, he will become a criminal through and through. A life in hiding.Jiang Feng was ambiguous. Originally, it didn't matter to him whether he had the Ding family or not. He was not Gauguin, and he didn't dislike using his brains. He wasn't always guarded by the Ding family like Gauguin.It's just that now that there is an opportunity to annex the Ding family, naturally they will not let it go.Zhao Huashan has no interest. He has his own real estate business and mining business, and has roots in the Northeast. He has never thought of relocating, and he doesn't want to get involved in the drug business.
————————————————————————————————————————
The old man hadn't smoked for a long time, and the fireworks were flickering on and off.
"Actually, I went to look for you last time," the old man said hesitantly, always looking down at the front, or looking at his own cigarettes, and never glanced at Ding Qing, "The main reason is to get some... bonus... you I also know that the previous patriarchs have given us quarterly... this time it has been too long..."
Ding Qing turned his head and glanced at him, then turned back again, and found that he had almost smoked, took it out of his mouth and threw it on the ground, stomped it out with the toe of his shoe, kicked it away, took out another one, lit himself, and smoked. He mumbled in his mouth: "With the money, you still let me go to Yanbian to pick up that kid?"
The old man suddenly turned his head to look at Ding Qing, flames sprang up from the end of the cigarette, illuminating Ding Qing's expressionless face.
Ding Qing put away the lighter, took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled, leaned back relaxedly, leaned on the back of the chair, with his arms stretched out on the back of the chair: "Let's be clear, your house has been demolished since you haven't paid me for so long, Ding Qing Mao is in the position, and he is not interested in Ding, Ding, Ding and Liu. If you don’t choose me, what will you do? Will you rot in the soil? Or what, with so many of you, do you want to farm or start a business?”
The old man's hands finally showed signs of shaking.
Ding Qing finally understood that the old man's only guard and nervousness was because of negotiations.
Ding Qing's tone softened, and he raised his chin towards the three people standing in front of the stage: "I understand your thoughts, what's that child's name?"
The old man's cigarette had already been extinguished. He put away his cigarette bag, rubbed his hands and face again: "Ding Fu."
"Ding Fu, just follow me. If there is mine, there will be his, and if there is him, there will be yours. My family must be supported by myself, so you can go back without worry."
The old man still hesitated.
Ding Qing pinched his cigarette, leaned over to keep parallel with the old man, and vowed: "Uncle Ding Shou, you have to trust me, the board of directors will be held soon, and Ding Mao will be elected immediately, and victory is in sight at that time."
Ding Qing's words were completely nonsense, anyway, Ding Shou didn't know.
Ding Shou really didn't know, he was always in the outer circle, he couldn't even recognize the manager of the Ding family, he didn't understand anything, he just thought that being the head of the family would be all right.Thinking that Ding Mao didn't even want to see them anyway, so he wanted to come to Ding Qing to see what was going on, took the junior over, and wanted to join Ding Qing, but found that Ding Qing didn't seem to be able to talk, so let's negotiate with Ding Qing, but no matter what He didn't know how to speak, Ding Qing said the words over and over again, and even guessed in his mind, but he couldn't figure out the context when he arrived.But keeping someone by the young master's side wouldn't hurt their family, even though they didn't ask for money.
Ding Shou nodded.
Ding Qing looked at the clumsy Ding Shou and nodded, leaned back on the back again, and slowly took out another cigarette.Ding Shou still leaned forward, took out his cigarette pouch, and struck a match to light his cigarette.
The two were silent with each other's thoughts.
————————————————————————————————————————
Luo Dafei rushed out immediately after class. At 09:30 in the evening, Ding Qing asked him to eat food stalls.He was riding a bicycle on the road, and he was talking on the phone with Apple through his earphones.Little Apple asked him if he was busy now, and Luo Dafei was pedaling his wheels desperately to catch the green light, while replying to her that he was not busy.
When Luo Dafei arrived at the place out of breath and Ding Qing hadn't arrived yet, Luo Dafei locked the car, stood on the side of the road leaning against the wall and happily chatted with Little Apple, it would be even better if Ding Qing missed the appointment.
Ding Qing didn't break the appointment. When he came, he saw such a scene. Luo Dafei was leaning against the wall, looking shy, staring at his toes, giggling, and talking on the phone as if no one else was there. Take a second look.Ding Qing was so excited, could it be that he was talking about the nineteenth ban?Walking over to listen, Luo Dafei was facing the microphone: "Then your hand must hurt so much, let me rub it for you."
Ding Qing couldn't control it, and kicked Luo Dafei's leg. Luo Dafei was startled, and cursed: "Fuck, who the hell..."
He turned his head and saw that it was Ding Qing, and whispered softly into the microphone again: "Brother Qing is here, I'm going to eat... Who cursed someone?... It wasn't me, there was someone next to me just now..."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Dafei heheed a few times in embarrassment: "Where to eat?"
Ding Qing walked into the street with his arms around Luo Dafei's shoulders: "Yeah, it's going well."
This street is more lively at night than during the day. It is an ordinary local snack street with small shops and steaming supper stalls protruding from the facades, making the street even smaller.Most of the signboards are white and red letters, only written in Cantonese, not even English, obviously not a place for tourists.There was a lot of people, and it was agreed that tables and tables of guests gathered in the designated area, cheering loudly, the guests were sitting up and sitting up and down, and cigarette butts were scattered under their feet.
Ding Qing walked in the street with Luo Dafei's shoulders on his shoulders, discussing street snacks, buying two skewers when he was hungry, stopping and walking, jokingly wandering in the street, as if he used to play around all night.
They ended up sitting at a barbecue stand at the end of the street.
There are not many people at the barbecue stand, and the weather is cold, so a shed was sloppily built outside the stand, and the opposite street can be seen through the plastic sheeting.This is the store that Ding Qing wanted to bring Luo Dafei to.
Luo Dafei didn't ask any questions, but looked carefully at the menu, and humbly asked Ding Qing what to write.
"Who did you learn Cantonese from?" Luo Dafei took a sip of his wine and trembled with excitement.
"You hang out in a nightclub." Ding Qing also took a sip of wine. It's not a good wine, and it tastes bad if you smash it, but it's refreshingly cold.
Luo Dafei fiddled with the barbecue in front of him, and Ding Qing looked at the opposite side. The two chatted nonchalantly, chatting about trivial matters, and laughed heartlessly.
After drinking the third bottle, Luo Dafei's face started to turn red. As if he remembered something, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Ding Qing.
"What is this?" Ding Qing reached out to take it.
"Just...you see." Luo Dafei refilled his cup.
Ding Qing looked down and saw that it was a bank card.
"Didn't I find a job? The boss paid the wages first, so I thought I'd pay back some..." Luo Dafei peeled the shrimp and pouted his mouth this way.
Ding Qing casually threw the envelope on the dinner table: "What do you mean?"
Luo Dafei was a little startled by his cold tone, and stopped peeling the shrimp: "Just...you found my tuition fees, accommodation, and I will always pay you back..."
He was interrupted by Ding Qing before he finished speaking: "No need."
Luo Dafei was very persistent and confident: "Don't talk about it, I will definitely pay back your money. To be a human being, you must show affection."
Ding Qing put down his wine glass: "If you have money to pay me back, why don't you send it to your mother first."
Luo Dafei immediately had nothing to say, his heart was blocked, and he didn't want to eat the shrimp.
Neither of them spoke, Luo Dafei drank another glass of wine, then looked down at the table with a listless look.Ding Qing put his arms on the table and looked at Luo Dafei with a serious expression: "Luo Dafei, what do you think I asked you to do?"
Luo Dafei looked up at him, hesitantly said: "... help?"
Ding Qing was not so serious, and felt a little funny: "Help for what?"
"I don't know." Luo Dafei looked a little distressed, "The main reason was that you called me at that time, I thought you might want revenge, and I thought I could help if I could."
Ding Qing smiled: "You came here because you didn't know anything?"
Luo Dafei hummed.
Ding Qing shook his head: "What about after revenge?"
Luo Dafei didn't speak, and listened to Ding Qing.
"Then what are you going to do? At the beginning, I was going crazy. I couldn't sleep all night. I didn't know what to do. I thought that my family would be ruined. I must not lose. Wanting to explode in rage, but can't do anything. Really can't do anything."
Ding Qing raised his head and looked at Luo Dafei, Luo Dafei was a little startled.
"I don't have anyone to talk to. My mother is also in a state of distress. Fortunately, I met someone who is nice and kind of reassuring..." Ding Qing drank his wine, his eyes were a little blank.
"So I thought, what's the point of paying me blood for revenge? Damn they are two rounds older than me. If I don't do anything, they will always die in front of me. I will go to the United States with my mother, and I will spend the rest of my life. It's over, go to grandpa and grandma, don't you still eat and wear well, and don't have to stir up trouble. Just admit it, they want me to sign the contract, just sign it, sign it, and leave. I don't care about the future, I'm fine No, they won't make it difficult for me. Isn't it good?" Ding Qing stopped drinking and stared straight at Luo Dafei.
Luo Dafei also put down his wine glass, and suddenly became serious, unable to speak for a while, after thinking for a long time, he whispered: "Then are you willing?"
"What should I do if I don't want to be reconciled? I want to have no one else, I want to have no skills, and the friends around me are only too old, and they don't have real power. How about risking my life just to win?" Ding Qing put potatoes on the plate. "What about you? Called you all the way to take risks, just to win my breath?"
Luo Dafei was very upset, and ordered another bottle of wine.
There was a sudden noise outside, as if someone was fighting, and the sound of wine bottles breaking could be heard. Several people were yelling, one of them was particularly loud, and then there was a burst of car noise, which was even more noisy mixed with shouting.
Luo Dafei was not in the mood to watch, Ding Qing turned his head and stared at the movement across the road very concerned.
The riot was quickly suppressed, and the street was quiet for a while, returning to the normal hustle and bustle of human voices.
The boss brought up the wine, which was taken out of the freezer. Luo Dafei took it and opened it, poured it for himself, drank half of the glass, put down the glass, and stared at Ding Qing: "Brother Qing, call me, what do you want?" What's the matter?"
Ding Qing was looking at the other side with great interest to clean up the mess. After hearing Luo Dafei's words, he suddenly became serious, opened his heart and lungs, and said word by word: "I want to be successful, I want to be the head of the family, and I want their lives. I want their money, their status, and their business, I want to prosper, and I want to be a leader.”
Luo Dafei was taken aback by this sudden confession, and the ambition in Ding Qing's eyes was about to overflow, as if the charcoal hidden in the dark saw the sunlight and wanted to burst out of control.
Luo Dafei was puzzled: "Then you say revenge is useless..."
"I'm talking about you." Ding Qing's eyes sparkled, "You don't think about anything, you don't ask anything, and you come here to help me for nothing, and it's over? Don't you want to be prosperous? You don't want to glorify your ancestors and let your mother Are you proud? Don't you want to show off and be respected by everyone?"
Luo Dafei was stunned for a moment.
"So, we're not here for revenge." Ding Qing slowed down his tone, "You and I, brother, come out to play for the sake of prosperity. Only ambition is worth working hard for."
Luo Dafei fell into a state of being brainwashed.
Ding Qing poured wine for him, and poured wine for himself: "There is still a long way to go. It is hard to say what I will do in the future and where I will go, but I have confidence and a plan. I will be the captain. So Ah, Luo Dafei," Ding Qing looked at Luo Dafei's drooping head, and finally said his purpose, "Get on my boat."
Luo Dafei was in a mess.
He played with Ding Qing since he was a child, but he was an outsider from the beginning to the end. It is already obvious what Ding Qing meant.When he came to Hong Kong, Luo Dafei actually didn't think about it so much. As friends, brothers would naturally come if they were in trouble, just to help.When I arrived, I realized that things were not what I thought.
A boy becomes an adult overnight.When seeing the people around Liu Yao, Luo Dafei understood it almost instantly.It's not a small fight in the class, it's not a brawl in the street outside the school, no one is hot-blooded, no one comes to deal with the aftermath, everything is cold.But Luo Dafei didn't think about leaving, and didn't want to live up to Ding Qing's expectations. Ding Qing's expectations in his mind might let him help escape, fight, or remotely control the bomb/bomb like in the movie.
Tonight Ding Qing told him clearly, no.Come on this road, and follow me to the dark.If Luo Dafei refuses, Ding Qing will definitely not persuade him again. He is in Hong Kong, if he has money, he can continue to study, if he doesn't want to stay, he can go back, and everyone will go their separate ways.It's normal to part ways. Originally, Ding Qing and I were not in the same world. It was only because Ding Qing took him that we entered each other's world.Otherwise, Luo Dafei would not hang out in high-end clubs, and invite dozens of people to hold birthday parties all night; Ding Qing would not hang around in dilapidated alleys, going to Luo Dafei's mother's small restaurant for dinner at every turn.
But Ding Qing also made it clear, don't do it for the sake of repaying a favor, which implies that things in the future will be much more dangerous, beyond the scope of "helping". Ding Qing had to say that Luo Dafei had to make the choice himself.
Luo Dafei began the most serious thinking since he was born.
Ding Qing sat opposite him with a calm expression, drank a couple of sips of wine, took out his mobile phone and chatted with Yan Wu, about dogs, about Yan Wu's desire to start a business and open a boxing ring.
Luo Dafei thought about many people and things, and couldn't figure it out for a while, but there was a clear picture in his mind.When he was just hanging out with Ding Qing, Ding Qing took the lead for him, and the image of Ding Qing stepping on the boy's head in the urinal is now lingering in Luo Dafei's mind.Ding Qing seems to be born with the ability to be arrogant, and everyone takes Ding Qing's arrogance for granted.This is very unreasonable.People around are willing to play with Ding Qing, saying that he is courageous and confident, but self-confidence must also be cultivated. If Ding Qing had not come from a prominent family background, how could he develop such arrogance?It's always like this in school, among the boys, the rich ones hang out with the handsome ones, Luo Dafei is pulled in for no reason, to watch the young men mess around.But there is a huge gap between people. My mother worked hard from dawn to dusk, and did everything she could. The restaurant business was still not good, and she was struggling to make ends meet. It was not worth the effort of Ding Qing. The restaurant moved into the CBD commercial street. , The monthly rent is only a symbolic 3000, and the business will only pick up if the geomantic omen is a treasure.
Luo Dafei is now thinking, if he gets on Ding Qing's boat, where will he go?Where in five years, prison?died?Or die in prison?But if you are lucky, will you be able to go out one day and hug each other, live a luxurious life, and put antiques and antiques at home, everyone will look up to them?In and out of high society, have their own boat, their own plane, their own business.In the future, my descendants will also be able to act arrogantly as they should.
Luo Dafei raised his head and saw that Ding Qing was knocking on a handful of sunflower seeds he bought, concentrating on chatting with his mobile phone.
Or go the other way.Go to school diligently and frugally, graduate from a prestigious school, and have average intelligence. Try to find a solid job.My mother's business is doing well, her debts have been paid off, she finally started saving money, and her life is about to get on the right track. I can't make a choice to live up to her expectations.Work and live in peace and stability, one day I will be able to move out of the back alleys, change to a better house, try to keep up with the development of Beijing, live a serious life from [-] to [-], marry a gentle woman, maybe a little apple, Have a child, find a good school district, work hard, have seniors and juniors, travel occasionally, play with dogs every day, ordinary, ordinary, safe and secure.Is it not good?
……
……
not good.
For the 20-year-old Luo Dafei, that wasn't good enough.
Luo Dafei picked up the wine glass and raised his head to drink it, then put the glass back heavily. The sound of the bottom of the glass hitting the table made Ding Qing look up at him.
Luo Dafei took a breath stimulated by the cold wine, and then looked at Ding Qing seriously: "Then go ahead. What do you want me to do?"
Ding Qing smiled, raised his wine glass and touched Luo Dafei, then turned to look across the road: "Wait a minute."
Luo Dafei felt relieved suddenly, some distant fantasies and hopes became the main theme of his thoughts at this moment, and the more he thought about it, the more optimistic he became, as if success was in sight.It seems to be just a small decision, although life may turn a corner from here.
The two reached a consensus and chatted casually again.Luo Dafei's long and strange psychological struggle just now has also turned into some kind of indescribable force at this moment, Luo Dafei will be looking in the same direction as Ding Qing for a long time.He was preparing himself for this.
It was almost two o'clock, and after the barbecue stall, only the boss who packed things was left.The boss cleaned up all the other tables, only Ding Qing and Luo Dafei's table was messed up. The two of them had finished their meal and had almost drunk their wine. They hunched their necks and ate melon seeds in the windy midnight.Although the street of the night market was all night, the lights were turned off quite a bit at this time. The boss didn't look at them or drive them away, and leaned behind the counter and dozed off little by little.
Ding Qing's hunched back suddenly straightened up, staring at the KTV opposite, patted the debris on his hand: "Look over there!"
Luo Dafei followed his gaze. Seven or eight people came out of two black cars, and a woman was going up to meet them. Ding Qing said, "Look at the one who walked ahead, the one who was still wearing sunglasses that night."
Luo Dafei quickly locked on a person because of these words.
"That man's name is Ding Biao." Ding Qing explained beside him.
A group of people rushed into the arena, Ding Qing and Luo Dafei looked away.Ding Qing talked about Yuanyuan while eating melon seeds: "Liu Wen was drunk that day, and when I sent him to his woman's house, I said a few words to that person. He mentioned that his name was Ding Biao, not Liu Biao."
Luo Dafei looked at Ding Qing in surprise.
"It happened that Liu Wen was drunk, and I chatted with Ding Biao for a while while smoking in the yard. Those who work under them are all surnamed Ding."
Luo Dafei was in chaos: "The Ding family? Your Ding family is so prosperous?"
"Listen to me." Ding Qing waved his hand, "What the Ding family said is that they are really related by blood, no matter how far away the relatives are. The surname of the big brother who entered the Tao. Like Liu Wen and Liu Pu, they follow the surname of Liu Yao, but they were all popular 20 years ago. Look at the people like Guan Jiefeng, they don’t do this at all. Ding Biao When I was a teenager, I was in Yunnan. At that time, Liu Yao hadn’t grown up, and the entire Ding Group was named Ding. Liu Yao was just his direct leader. That is, the three or four children who were adopted by Liu Yao Haier took Liu Yao's surname. Later, when Liu Yao went to Guangzhou and Hong Kong, they followed him all the time. So," Ding Qing's tone slowed down, "not only Liu Yao, Jiang Feng, Gauguin and others, Many of them should be surnamed Ding."
Luo Dafei also followed Ding Qing's thinking, nodded his head, and said happily: "That is to say... a cloud-piercing arrow, and thousands of troops come to meet each other?"
"How is it possible?" Ding Qing smiled, "They're not fools, they will listen to me if they don't give food and drink to the boss who gives bonuses?"
Ding Qing leaned forward and leaned in Luo Dafei's direction: "I mean, people like them are no different from anyone else. If I am about to win, they will stand by my side."
Luo Dafei nodded slowly: "But when will you win?"
"That's right. I haven't declared war with Liu Yao yet. Of course, I am declared dead now, so I can't move for the time being." Ding Qing paused, stretched out his right hand, and pressed his fingertips on the table lightly, very Seriously, "If you don't target Liu Yao, some small favors are also useful to them. And they must know more than me. But I can't get close to them. Liu Yao must also let them pay attention to talking to me. Come on Ding Biao This time, apart from talking about my own experience, I kept silent when asked about his itinerary."
Luo Dafei hummed: "I see, you want me to go."
"Yes. This place is their base camp. If I call Ding Biao suddenly, nine times out of ten when I am not busy, I will be here. I have been here two or three times myself, but I dare not go by. The people in this shop are familiar with them. I think you come here to drink and sing, and see if you can get acquainted with them. I will pay for the money, and you should be generous. Treat more guests and spend whatever you want. If you have money, you don’t have to worry about paying it. Not a friend."
Luo Dafei looked at the neon lights across the road and made up his mind: "Success."
Then suddenly remembered something, a little funny, grinned: "You still know?"
"what do you know?"
"If you have money, you can make friends."
"Of course, I'm probably friends
