Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

Hao Liang put on his shoes, went downstairs and walked towards the village in the city with Zhong Yi. He took the car and drove towards the bar where Zhong Yi said he could gamble on football.

"Liangzi, what is your relationship with Huang Shanshan now? Are you saying they are boyfriend and girlfriend? It doesn't seem like it. After all, you two don't sleep together. You say no, you are together every day. And she cares about you like her husband."

"We are just good friends, and she cares more about me. By the way, how is Tiantian in your family?" Hao Liang changed the topic to Tiantian who lives in Zhong Yi's house.

"I think it's better to forget it. Tiantian is too serious. I don't want to get married yet. I'll find her when I do."

"What if she is pursued by another boy? She won't be waiting somewhere to marry you when you want to get married."

"That's the same. Let's forget about it for now. Just let it go. How much money did you bring, Hao Liang?"

"I didn't bring any money, what's wrong?"

"If you don't bring it, then you don't bring it. I originally wanted to ask you if you want to buy which team will win."

The two of them chatted and arrived outside a medium-sized bar. Hao Liang and Zhong Yi parked their cars not far from the door. When they were about to go in, they were stopped by a security guard at the door.

"Boss, this bar has been booked. If you want to play, go to another bar."

"Brother, we just came here to play. I was here a few days ago, and now my friend is already inside." Zhong Yi took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Your friend is inside, then you call your friend and ask him to come out to pick you up, otherwise I can't let you in."

Zhong Yi had no choice but to call Fatty. After a while, Fatty's fat body appeared at the door. He spoke to the security guard at the door and led Zhong Yi and Hao Liang in.

"Boss Hao, I didn't expect you to come over to play today."

"Come and take a look, Fat Brother, you must have won a lot these days." Hao Liang said, looking at the red-faced and high-spirited fat man.

"Bah, bah. It's just a small profit. Those rich people actually make a lot. Five or six hundred thousand a night. Yes, the drinks will be mine later."

After walking through a corridor, Fatty took Zhong Yi and Hao Liang into a hall. There was a screen in the center of the hall, and other programs were also playing. The football game started like that.

But there were already many people sitting in the hall, some of them were playing double button at a table of four, and some were playing mahjong. There was no noisy DJ dance music in the bar.

Moreover, there were many girls wearing cooler clothes, chatting and laughing with the men one by one.

"Fat brother, I heard from Zhong Yi that gambling happens here. If the banker loses too much, will he run away?" Hao Liang asked the fat man.

"What are you going to do? The dealer here is a foreign casino, and we place bets through the website. The money is directly transferred to our cards. The dealer here takes a commission." Fatty explained to Hao Liang.

"For foreigners, why are you placing bets like this? It's not troublesome." Hao Liang asked again.

The fat man pointed to Hao Liang and said to the five very beautiful girls leaning to one side wearing blouses.

"Do you want to register an account to play? If you want, just go to the beauties over there and they will register it for you. They will also help you place bets later. It's very convenient."

"Forget it, I'll take a look first and you guys can play." Hao Liang quickly refused.

As the World Cup quarter-finals began, people in the bar approached the girls who helped place bets in the bar and asked them to help place bets on the computer.

Of course, tips are also indispensable. A generous tip would be five to six hundred, and a normal tip would be one or two hundred. From the tip income alone, these five girls can earn a lot in this month.

Hao Liang followed Zhong Yi to a girl and looked at the website on the computer screen. He was immediately dumbfounded. It was all in English and Hao Liang didn't recognize it.

After Zhong Yi finished placing his bets, Hao Liang pulled Zhong Yi and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of being cheated by placing bets like this? It says you don't know anything."

"It's just some odds and rules. You just tell them to buy which team will win, and that's it. Of course, if you are confident, you can also buy the full-time score or the half-time score. This way you can make more money."

"This is addictive, so you should play less." Hao Liang advised.

"I'm just joining in the fun, don't worry, I won't be addicted." Zhong Yi said nonchalantly.

While the two were talking, Fatty bought the team and came over. He said to Hao Liang who was sitting and chatting.

"Boss Hao, how much did you buy?"

"I don't have any money with me, and I didn't buy anything. Fat brother, how much did you buy today?"

"Five hundred thousand. If you don't have any money, you can borrow it here. You can borrow any amount. You just have to pay it back on time." The fat man pointed to a few people at a table not far away and said.

"I don't like playing this game either. Aren't you afraid of losing if you bet so much?" Hao Liang refused again.

"Bah, bah, bah! Lose, how can you lose? I haven't lost until today. If I didn't have enough money, I would have put my money in. Boss Hao, why don't you lend me some, and I will pay you back immediately after the World Cup is over."

"What kind of money do I have? All my money is tied up in the factory." Hao Liang immediately refused.

"No, I'll give you an interest rate that's guaranteed to be higher than what the bank offers. You lend me two million, and when it's over, I'll pay you back two and a half million. How about that," the fat man said shamelessly.

"Fat man, Liangzi said you have no money, why are you still talking so much?" Zhong Yi couldn't stand it, and said to the fat man with some boredom.

The fat man stopped talking when Zhong Yi said this. It may be the reason why Hao Liang came. The fat man lost the bet today, and Zhong Yi even paid for the wine he agreed to treat.

The main reason is that the fat man was too confident in the German team and too greedy. He actually bought the score with 500,000 yuan, hoping to make a big fortune. In the end, he lost.

Hao Liang watched the game end and called Zhong Yi to go back. But Fatty and the others stayed and continued to watch the game at three in the morning.

When Hao Liang got home, he took a shower and got ready for bed. Early the next morning, Huang Shanshan knocked on the door.

Seeing Hao Liang yawning, Huang Shanshan said with some dissatisfaction. "What did you do after I went to bed? You got up so late."

"No, I don't know why I couldn't sleep all day long. I didn't fall asleep until after two o'clock. Why don't you go home today? Your mother didn't call you yesterday." Hao Liang walked to the bathroom and asked.

"You expect me to go back so much. I've only been on vacation for two days, and you told me to go back after two days."

"How could I possibly want you to go back? It's better if you stay here and work for me for free." Hao Liang said with a smile while brushing his teeth.

"Hao Liang, let me tell you something." Huang Shanshan said, leaning on the bathroom door and looking at Hao Liang who was brushing his teeth.

After Hao Liang rinsed his mouth, he put the cup aside and asked, "What happened? It's so serious."

"Well, I'm going to study abroad next month for four years. I can't accompany you anymore." Huang Shanshan pursed her lips and said.

When Hao Liang heard Huang Shanshan's words, he suddenly stopped washing his face. Hao Liang was also prepared for Huang Shanshan to leave, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Hao Liang's umbrella factory can reach its current scale thanks to Huang Shanshan. Otherwise, Hao Liang would still be running a workshop and doing OEM work. It is only because of Huang Shanshan's encouragement that it can reach its current scale.

The main reason is that Hao Liang is afraid that if Huang Shanshan leaves, there will be no one to give him any advice if something happens in the future. There are also several supervisors like Zhang Fei. It can be said that Huang Shanshan suppresses them, so they don't dare to make such a jump.

Huang Shanshan saw Hao Liang covering his face and stopped moving for a moment without speaking. Then she spoke again. "Hao Liang, why don't you speak? I said I wanted to go abroad for four years. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Hao Liang took off the towel, calmed down his mood, showed a smile, and said, "Okay, many people want to go out now, I wish you a safe journey."

"Just tell me this, and nothing else, like asking me not to go out and stay." Huang Shanshan said straightforwardly.

"Your dad wants you to study abroad. He must have considered it. It's useless even if I say it. Study hard when you go out, and serve the motherland when you come back. There is someone there who pays attention to safety. Remember to keep in touch."

"You can't keep me for a while. If you keep me, I will tell my dad that I won't go out." Huang Shanshan stared at Hao Liang with a playful smile, hoping that Hao Liang could give her an answer.
