Chapter 8 third quarter

Like many entertainment venues, most billiard halls in China are only open in the afternoon or evening. This is basically a nightlife venue for night owls. Many people like to hang out here all night long, squandering the time they don’t know how to kill. Guoyu Billiards Hall is located on the basement floor of a medium-sized store in the south business district of T City. When you walk into this billiards hall, you feel that the lighting is dim. A feeling of suffocation and depression.But such an atmosphere did not affect the business of the billiard hall, and the ball games on several tables were in full swing.

A burly handsome young man in a dark gray coat was aiming at the white ball on the table.The head of the club stretched and stretched above the white ball for a long time, like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, swaying back and forth, looking for the most suitable time to catch its prey.The young man finally made a shot. He used this high shot to hit the last colored ball into the middle pocket. The white ball drew a parabola with a strong spin after collision, and then stopped beside the black ball.At this time, the white ball, black ball and bottom pocket just formed a perfect straight line, the design of the ball and the mastery of the shot are perfect.

"Good shot, Brother Tao!" "Golden Retriever" clapped his hands and applauded. The young man ignored the "golden retriever"'s flattery, and sent the black ball steadily into the bottom pocket with a light low shot. "Brother Tao, I really admire you, your level of professional billiards!" "Xiao Chao, you are a little absent-minded today! This is not your level!" The young man stroked his hair and threw the club aside. "Golden Retriever" shook his head, and looked at Brother Tao with an extremely depressed expression, "You can see all of this. I did encounter something unsatisfactory yesterday."

"You, do something serious. Don't take your two younger brothers to wander around the school gate. I heard that you always rob other people's primary school students of their money. That will be of no use!" Tao said. Brother's words are not teaching, but they are very powerful for "Golden Retriever". "Golden Retriever" is obsequious and says yes again and again. "Xiao Chao, what happened yesterday?" Brother Tao asked in a questioning tone. "Brother Tao, I was almost beaten!" "Hit you? You deserve it! Who told you to always go to other people's elementary school students to trouble you, and your parents come to you. If you don't hit you and you can't take care of yourself, it's already pretty good!"

"No, it's not the parents. It's a nosy guy. That guy is very powerful. He grabbed my wrist. His hand is so strong that I can't move. He also gave me the bracelet my sister gave me. It broke, and I lost the bracelet." "Golden Retriever" Lian Chao's tone seemed very frustrated. "Your sister's bracelet?" "Yeah, it was given to me by my sister. I like it very much! Damn, that bastard with great strength, if I see him again, I will definitely not spare him." "Stop pretending to be a hero! If you can deal with that guy, you won't lose a game with me today!"

"Hey, I didn't win because your brother Tao is good at the game!" "Come on, remember, a hero doesn't suffer from immediate losses, so there is no need to be so idle." Lian Chao nodded with a wry smile. "I have a good job recently. I wonder if you would like to take over?" Brother Tao saw that Lian Chao's mood seemed to be improving, so he continued the conversation. "Yes! To tell you the truth, Brother Tao, if you ask those elementary and middle school students for money, at most they will give you cigarette money. I have long wanted to make a fortune with you, Brother Tao!"

"I'm setting up a scene now! I want to find some trustworthy brothers to help me watch the scene." Brother Tao lit a cigarette and said to Lian Chao while puffing out smoke rings. "Okay, as long as there is money to make, I am willing to do anything if I have money to make!" "Don't just say yes, it's not easy! You're looking at a bunch of college graduates." "College graduates? I thought I was going to see some ladies!" "These guys are more difficult to serve than the ladies! The lady is just to earn some living expenses, as long as she can live, those college students got together to make a lot of money. Your task is not to let them run away!"

"Brother Tao, what are you doing with so many college graduates? Do you want to start a company?" "Don't ask if you shouldn't! Just make your money!" "Yes, yes, yes, there is money to be made, don't ask what it is!" "Also be careful, keep it secret, you know? When the two people you found come, bring them to me, I have to see for myself." Brother Tao's expression became very serious at this time , making Lian Chao very nervous. "Don't worry, Brother Tao! However, I have something to discuss with you." "It's money!"

Lian Chao was caught by Brother Tao's words all of a sudden, he laughed, "We are brothers, and if we are brothers, we have to settle accounts clearly. How much can we get this time? I can talk to my younger brothers." "One hundred yuan per person per day, come if you want." "real?" "Of course it's true, but it's hard work, and you have to watch it 24 hours a day. You guys have to take turns to be on duty." "How long do you have to watch them?" "You don't have to worry about it. Didn't you just say that it's enough to make money! Isn't the longer the better?"

"haha, yes!" "By the way, you just said that your bracelet was given to you by your sister. I remember you said that your sister is also a college student, right?" "That's right, Brother Tao. You really remember everything I said." "Has she found a job?" "My sister hasn't graduated from college yet." "Oh, if you can't find a job after graduating from college, let her come to me and make a fortune with a few thousand yuan in principal. If it doesn't work out, you can buy a house in T City within a year." "Really? Brother Tao!"

"Of course it's true. Those college students don't all get rich like this." Lian Chao frowned, thinking that it is definitely not a good thing for these college students to be guarded by special personnel, and it is impossible to let my sister jump into this fire pit.Although he thought so in his heart, his face quickly returned to calm. Brother Tao noticed the change in Lian Chao's expression, but he didn't ask again. At this time, Lian Chao's cell phone rang, and it was the theme song of the Cantonese version of Shanghai Beach, "Walking, wandering, the river is endless..." Lian Chao looked at the caller ID and pressed the answer button. His speech immediately became more regular, without the sloppy tone just now, "Hello, sister. What's the matter? Ah? My friend and I are outside. I'll see you later." Go home, what? You are in a hurry! Shall I go over right away? Okay, then I will go over right away! Wait!" Lian Chao put down the phone and turned to look at Brother Tao. "Do you want to hit another shot?" Brother Tao didn't seem to have heard what Lian Chao said on the phone just now. "No, no, it's too late. Besides, in my state today, I can't beat you anyway. It's boring. Brother Tao, I'll go back first, and tomorrow I'll bring someone to show you." "Alright, take me to the activity center for the elderly on Dongting Road tomorrow, and I'll wait for you there!" Said, Brother Tao took out the balls from the bag one by one and put them on the table again. Lian Chao nodded goodbye to Brother Tao, but Brother Tao didn't say anything, and was still packing the billiards on the table. Lian Chao saw that Brother Tao was no longer paying attention to him, so he turned around and passed among a group of unscrupulous young people standing in various twisted positions with cigarettes in their mouths.These young people are all carrying clubs, wearing fashionable and avant-garde clothes, men and women hooking shoulders and backs, and they are all around 20 years old.On the wall of the billiard hall, there is a poster of a British gentleman in a bow tie who is hitting a ball. It makes people feel that the elegant billiards seem to be very inconsistent with the environment here. As soon as Lian Chao left, a tall woman emerged from another room. This woman was wearing a low-necked suit and long boots, exuding the suffocating smell of orchid perfume.She looks quite handsome, and her face is thickly powdered, making it impossible to guess her real age, but what is certain is that this woman will not be younger than thirty years old. "Song Tao, is this person reliable?" "I use him because of his unreliability. If anything happens, let him stand alone!" Song Tao said while gathering the colored balls and black balls together, and using a tripod to buckle the balls together. Back to the original position. "You are really cold-blooded. You were very hot just now, and you will sell him now!" "Sister, do you want to play a game with me?" Song Tao didn't seem to want to intervene in this woman's topic. "You may not be my opponent!" "I want to play a game with you!" The woman smiled slightly, "Okay, handsome guy, my sister will let you, you tee off first!" Song Tao was not polite, took down the triangular frame, and then took the white cue ball to the other end of the table. He didn't even look at it, put the white ball down, and hit the white ball with a heavy shot. The white ball flew quickly Crash into piles of colored balls.The pile of colored balls was blasted by white balls. Seventeen balls rolled in different directions, then changed direction after hitting Siku, and collided with each other again. There was a familiar collision sound in the arena. The two colored balls and a medicine ball fell into the bag. "Good shot, good drive, which suit do you choose?" Song Tao didn't speak, and then he made a low shot, and the white ball hit the yellow solid ball at the mouth of the pocket. The woman nodded, "It's very personable to play medicine ball, don't take advantage of me." Song Tao walked to the other side of the table, and then hit the red ball with a high shot. The white ball bounced twice, and then stopped near the point where he hit the ball just now. "You'd better not show up recently, and leave everything to me. Some things are too conspicuous for you to do, and it's a little troublesome." The woman seems to have not focused all her attention on this amateur game . "Sister, I can't take so much money from you for nothing. I said before that I will be responsible to the end. No matter what happens, I will never give up." "Forget about that, sometimes people don't need feelings! To be a rich man, you must first turn yourself into a machine, not a human being. Do you understand?" the woman said in an extremely cruel tone An extremely cruel sentence came out, and at this time Song Tao was about to hit the next ball. Hearing the woman's words, Song Tao's hand holding the cue visibly trembled, but after a brief hesitation, he suddenly hit the white ball hard. This shot obviously had no purpose, and the white ball flew towards the Several colored and solid balls together.The white ball hit one of the solid balls, and the solid ball knocked the surrounding balls that were close together and rolled out in several directions.In this impact, one colored ball and one solid ball fell into the pocket respectively. Unfortunately, due to the impact was too violent, the black ball also fell into the middle pocket. The "bad luck" has not stopped, and the white ball followed closely. The black ball rolled into the middle pocket. Seeing that the situation on the stage had suddenly changed like this, Song Tao seemed very disappointed. He lowered his head slowly, and then threw the club in his hand on the stage. "Admit defeat?" The woman walked behind Song Tao and put her hand on his shoulder. "Sister, can you stay with me tonight?" Song Tao's tone seemed to be begging, but it was impossible to refuse. The woman looked a little embarrassed, but she immediately put the cue on the table and hugged Song Tao from behind with both hands.
