Chapter 3 Uncle
The next day, after school, Xia Wenjie did not go home, but went directly to the bar run by his brother. The name of this bar is Longhu Bar, located on Huanghe Road in City D. This is the most prosperous new commercial district in City D.
Speaking of which, Xia Wenhao was also very lucky. When he chose to buy a store and open a bar on Huanghe Road, it was not because he had a long-term strategic vision, but because it was not a commercial area at that time, and the house was relatively cheap.
However, in just a few years, the city has developed rapidly and has been expanding abroad. The old business circle is in a saturation state and is urgently needed to fill it. The Huanghe Road area has gradually emerged, and several new shopping malls have been built, becoming a new large business circle in City D, with momentum even putting the old business circle below.
The plaque of Longhu Bar is black and red, big, grand and beautiful. It is divided into two floors: the first floor is a public area, the second floor is a private room, office area, and warehouse, etc.
It's evening now, there are already a lot of guests in the bar, and waiters are constantly shuttled through it.
Of course, the bar staff all know Xia Wenjie. As the boss’s younger brother, he is also half the boss.
Seeing him, the waiters passing by greeted him one after another. He walked to the bar counter and placed his schoolbag on it. The bartender inside took it tacitly, put it in the bar counter, and then smiled and said, "Wenjie, are you here to find your brother?"
Xia Wenjie looked up at the surroundings and asked, "Where is my brother?"
"Upstairs." The bartender said with a smile: "It seems that he is discussing a contract with Sister Huiru."
"Oh." Xia Wenjie nodded.
The bartender said that Sister Hui Ru is not unfamiliar with her. She is a resident singer in the bar. She is not very old and is only in her early twenties. She is not a few years older than Wenjie. She is very beautiful, dresses up in a fashionable way, and has a good voice in nature. Xia Wenjie was really obsessed with her for a while when she first met her. Of course, that was just a ignorant obsession with the young man, and then it was left alone.
He turned his head and his eyes naturally turned to the most remote corner of the bar. After seeing it, his eyes lit up and he said intimately: He is indeed there!
He was still sitting in that old position, still ordering only a bunch of beer, still wearing a straight black suit and a white shirt inside, and still fiddling with his computer with all his attention.
It seemed as if an invisible wall was erected around him, which separated him from the outside world.
Xia Wenjie looked at it for a while before coming to his senses and said to the bartender: "My brother is talking about serious matters, so I won't go up. I'll sit down there for a while."
The bartender nodded and responded. Just as he was about to speak, a guest next to him sat down and ordered wine. The bartender immediately greeted him.
Xia Wenjie left the bar and walked towards the corner. When he got closer, he sat opposite the man and said with a smile on his face: "Uncle."
The man did not look up, his eyes still fell on the laptop screen. He did not look at him more from beginning to end, but he said, "It seems that the wound on his face has healed, and the young man recovers quickly."
Thinking of his embarrassment last night, Xia Wenjie was afraid and embarrassed, so he said solemnly: "I...I am here to thank the uncle..."
"Didn't you thank you..." The man still asked absent-mindedly without raising his head, "Is there anything else?"
After a word was revealed, Xia Wenjie's old face turned red, he was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, and said word by word: "I want to become a disciple."
"Cough..." The man seemed to be choking by his saliva. He coughed and finally raised his head. He looked at Xia Wenjie sitting opposite him. After a while, he couldn't help laughing and shook his head and said, "What era is it? Do you need to set up an incense table or something?"
Xia Wenjie's face turned redder awkwardly. If there were any cracks on the ground at this time, he could get in without hesitation.
"I...I just want to avenge my friends."
The man said happily: "You can't stand it if you laugh at you a few words, so why are you talking about revenge?"
Xia Wenjie felt aroused, and the embarrassment on his face disappeared, and he asked seriously: "I hope the uncle can teach me what to do."
The man looked at him with his eyes in his eyes. After a long time, he blinked his eyes, then picked up a cigarette, lit it, and took a slow breath, and said, "There are three ways to kill someone."
"What three methods?" Xia Wenjie widened his eyes and looked at the man without blinking, and his body leaned forward.
"The first method is the method you use, and you go directly to others to fight to the death. This is also the stupidest method. Even if you succeed, you will not be able to escape. The mild ones are prison, and the severe ones are bang." He raised his hand and made a shooting gesture, and then continued: "If you don't succeed, you should have experienced the consequences, so no matter whether you succeed or not, there will be no good results."
"Then...what is the second way?"
"Hraining a murderer to do things," the man said with a smile: "Spend some money and let others do things you can't do. Of course, this also has risks. If you succeed, it's a little bit more. People who do it also have the risk of being arrested and confessed. So, the result of this is that it's still difficult for you to put yourself out of the matter."
Xia Wenjie was stunned when he heard this. He swallowed his mouth with difficulty and asked, "Then... the third type is..."
The man said, "The third method is very clever, and you also need to have the patience to wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
“Wait for an opportunity.”
"What opportunity?" Xia Wenjie looked confused.
"An opportunity that is confident and can put yourself out of the matter."
Xia Wenjie lowered his head thoughtfully and murmured: "How could there be such an opportunity? If you wait, how long will it take?"
"Ha." The man smiled and said, "That depends on whether you want to be a hunter or a prey. If you want to be a hunter or an excellent hunter, you need to have a heart that can withstand anxiety. In the forest, a hunter can wait for several days or even dozens of days in order to catch prey. In society, if a hunter wants to succeed, he often has to wait for several years or even dozens of years. If you don't have such patience, don't mention revenge for your friends in the future, because you won't succeed."
"Now, many people lament that they were born at the wrong time and did not catch up with good opportunities. In fact, opportunities did not fall from the sky by chance, but were received by patience. A few people have already prepared and just waited for the opportunity to come, while most people are just living in a daze. Even if the opportunity comes before them, they cannot grasp it and are wasted in vain. Then, they blame the world and lament that they were born at the wrong time."
Xia Wenjie listened seriously, and suddenly, he felt enlightened and enlightened. He felt from the bottom of his heart that his words made sense. No one had ever said such words to him before.
After a while, he couldn't help asking, "Uncle, what exactly are you doing?"
The man grinned, but this time the smile made Xia Wenjie feel very warm, no longer the kind of fake smile like a mask. He said, "Do you know the middleman?"
"middleman?"
"It's the one who matches the line." The man shrugged and said, "I should be considered a retired middleman now."
"I don't know what the middleman does, but I think the uncle's words make sense, and I still want to become a disciple."
Xia Wenjie is now more determined in his thoughts. In the dark, he just feels that he will definitely learn something that will benefit him a lot in his life.
In fact, that's exactly the case.
This uncle did change Xia Wenjie's outlook on life and became the most important enlightenment teacher in his life. Later, many people said that he was a cunning opportunist. The reason for this was that he was influenced by this uncle.
The uncle looked at Xia Wenjie and asked with a smile: "I can't tell you my name, it will not do you, and I can't let you have any involvement with me, and it will not do you, but I can teach you some skills, the skills of fitness and strengthening your body."
Whether he accepts his apprenticeship or not is not important to Xia Wenjie. What is important is that he is willing to teach himself. He was overjoyed when he heard the uncle's words, nodded repeatedly and asked, "What are you going to teach me?"
"You're in high school now, are you?"
"Yes."
"Yeah." The uncle nodded and asked again: "How far is your home from the school?"
This really stopped Xia Wenjie. He didn't understand after forgetting for a long time. He scratched his hair and said, "I only know that I have to take six stops by car."
"Six stations...one stop is about one to one or one or five kilometers. The stations in the city are about one kilometer. If you have six stops, it is equivalent to about five kilometers."
The uncle calculated for a while and said to Xia Wenjie: "In the future, you don't take the bus to school. After school, you can change to running to school. After school, no matter what you want to do in the future, having a strong and healthy body is always the most important thing."
Xia Wenjie nodded while listening, remembering his words, and waited for a while, and seeing that he still had no words, he asked, "Uncle, what about then?"
"Then?" the uncle smiled upwards and said, "You stick to what I said first, and then talk about it."
“This is very simple…”
"Simple? It's very easy to do for a day or two, and it's hard to stick to it." The uncle looked at his watch, then picked up the cup, drank the beer inside in one sip, then stood up and said, "Okay, I'm leaving now, see you later."
Xia Wenjie hurriedly stood up and asked, "Can I really not know the uncle's name?"
