"Brother Yan, will Boss Shen drive us away?"

In the dark, Guo Jiwei followed closely behind Wang Yan and asked uneasily.

"Don't worry, even if he drives someone away, it's me, what does it have to do with you? Just do your work steadily. Don't have any delusions about watching me win twenty-five thousand in three hours, you're also thinking about playing, you'll die miserably. You saw that Boss Liu, that's just the beginning. Do you know what will happen next?"

"I don't know."

"When Boss Liu's money is lost, they will give Boss Liu a loan and let Boss Liu continue to play. When he loses everything again, Boss Liu will be meat on the chopping board, and if they want him to die, he will die."

"Can't he just not borrow?"

"When you say this, when you really reach that point, you will definitely have to borrow." Wang Yan smiled, "You watched me play from behind, your throat was about to go hoarse, think about Boss Liu again, he won hundreds of thousands in one round. He will always think that he can earn back hundreds of thousands in the next round. It is with this idea that he keeps playing, keeps playing, losing and winning, and finally, he loses all his money. But he is just a little bit off from winning."

"At this time, how can you have the energy to think about those things? There is only one idea, that is, it's just a little bit off, come again, come again, he will definitely win, and he can earn back the capital and interest. Then he is finished, his family tears down the house and sells the land to pay off his debts, although it is not far from the country, but whether he can really return alive is another matter."

"Brother Yan, those who lost money are like this, you are the one who won money. I think Brother Xing is right, you'd better not go, it's too dangerous."

"Don't worry about me." Wang Yan patted him on the shoulder, "I see you're not easy, so I'll say a few more words to you. Remember, making a fortune is not as important as earning long-term money. You can't make a fortune, you can't bear the consequences of failure at all, even if there is a slight chance of failure, you can't do it. Because I have walked this way for so many years, I have seen quite a few people."

"Before doing it, you see that the possibility of failure is very small, and the possibility of success is very large. But when you do it, you find that it is a ten-out-of-ten failure, but at this time you are already deeply trapped, unable to extricate yourself, there is no way back, and there is no regret medicine to drink."

"I know, Brother Yan, you are a good person. I don't have your courage, I just want to earn money steadily, see a doctor for my mother, and support my sister's schooling."

"Then you shouldn't think about being a waiter in a casino."

"They earn more..."

"Didn't you see the beating?" Wang Yan smiled, "Let me tell you, this is still light. Some men even like men, think about that scene."

"Does the casino not care?"

"Can they care? Can they control it? It's nothing more than giving you some money as compensation later. But do you think how much money is enough? What if you are infected with AIDS or something, can you handle it?"

Guo Jiwei was silent, after a while, he said: "Brother Yan, you know so much."

"True and false, I don't know either. I asked people before I came. Men, they all like to brag, and I don't know if it's true. Anyway, just listen to it as a true thing, being careful is never wrong. Still the same, you can't bear the consequences of the true thing, so you can't think it's fake. It's hard to learn well here, but easy to learn bad. You must have a scale in your heart."

"Yes, I know, Brother Yan. Brother Yan, you are a good person, when you have an industry in the future, I will work for you. Don't worry, I work very neatly."

Wang Yan laughed: "Let's talk about it when I have that day."

"Brother Yan, you will definitely get rich."

"Borrow your auspicious words."

The two of them talked and returned to the dormitory. At this time, there were still people talking in a low voice in the dormitory, but some were already sleeping soundly, snoring loudly.

Wang Yan and Guo Jiwei went to get water, washed up simply, and lay on the bed brewing sleepiness.

Guo Jiwei didn't fall asleep, he looked at the ceiling for a while, looked out the window for a while, and secretly poked his head out for a while, looking at the good Brother Yan who had closed his eyes with his hands behind his head on the lower bunk...

"Why are you hanging out with someone like him?"

Shen Jiandong gave Shen Xing a kick in a bad mood.

Shen Xing was kicked and grinned, but still smiled: "Uncle, he is not a bad person."

"You can't judge a book by its cover, do you see anyone with 'good person' or 'bad person' on their forehead? Just look at his appearance, he must not be a good thing in the country. Maybe there is no big deal, but he must have done a lot of petty theft, fighting, and molesting little girls. He must want to come here to make a fortune."

"Such a person, you say he has no bottom line? You don't even know when he will sell you. Let me tell you, you don't need three days to learn to be bad here, what can you mix with him? No, you go back to the country tomorrow."

"Oh, uncle, why am I going back? You say I'm a broken college student, I didn't study, I don't know anything, what can I do? It's better to help you here, we can be together, see people every day."

Shen Xing grasped his uncle's pulse, the two depend on each other, must awaken uncle's love, to be able to lift it lightly.

Sure enough, hearing this, Shen Jiandong sighed, picked up the Huazi he just threw on the table and lit it: "It's not that uncle is scolding you, this place is not the country, you also went out for a walk, looking at those who passed by, do you see anyone who is easy to provoke? They all carry knives. If something really happens, we can't handle it."

"Here, harmony doesn't work, if you are harmonious, others think you are easy to bully. But not harmonious doesn't work either, why? Because there are mountains outside the mountains, people outside the people, if you are not harmonious, there are plenty of people who are more unharmonious than you, they have armed forces, mercenaries, armored vehicles, cannons, no matter how awesome you are, can you be more awesome than them?"

"Yes, yes, uncle, I know everything. Before I came, I asked quite a few people and made up lessons specifically. Didn't I do anything dangerous? Just went out for a walk, ate sugar cane, drank milk tea, tasted the food here. And then came back. If Wang Yan did something dangerous, I'm not stupid, I would definitely run away."

"That's still human talk." Shen Jiandong exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed, "You said he won money just now? What's going on?"

"Nothing, it's just that when we were buying milk tea, a stacker came over to pull people to the Century Casino, I didn't want to go, Wang Yan insisted on playing a few rounds."

"Go to the casino? I'll beat you to death..."

"Hey, hey, hey, uncle, I didn't play, really, I didn't even touch the chips. I just followed Wang Yan to watch, he played dice there, bet big or small, I had nowhere to go, and didn't dare to play, so Guo Jiwei and I were cheering for him there."

"How much did he win?"

"Won fifty thousand at the highest, later the dealer who shook the dice cheated, lost twenty-five thousand back, and then he didn't play."

"He can win that much?"

"Uncle, you don't know, Wang Yan knows gambling skills, just like in the God of Gamblers. He can hear the size with his ears. If he can hear the size, he can definitely hear odd and even, and even hear the points. But he didn't play, he kept betting big or small."

So Shen Xing told his uncle the whole process in the casino from beginning to end, and of course mentioned Boss Liu whose eyes were already red.

He said, "Uncle, that casino is not a place for ordinary people to play at all, I feel that Boss Liu's end will definitely not be very good."

"You feel right, I know best what their end is. Just two months ago, someone was gambling here..." Shen Jiandong told Shen Xing a story, true or false, to warn him.

"Really?"

"Is there any fake? We were the ones who drove him back. They are all fellow countrymen from the country, help if you can. In short, keep an eye on it for me, don't cause trouble, otherwise both of us will die."

"Don't you know Sang Kang? That's a big warlord."

"It's useless even if I know the Jade Emperor, they let us make money, not let us add trouble to him. So old, don't you understand this?"

"Understand, understand, I will definitely be honest. Didn't you ask me to deliver goods? I will deliver goods steadily tomorrow. Definitely won't go out with Wang Yan."

Shen Jiandong nodded, then said thoughtfully: "But according to what you said, this kid still held back."

"Definitely, in the last round, he must have wanted to test it. I don't know what he wanted to do. Hey, uncle, you say he won't want to go to the town? I heard that casinos have to find people with high gambling skills to sit in town, afraid of others coming to make trouble."

"That's a serious casino in a serious place, is this place afraid of people making trouble? Shoot on the street, the police don't care, and they can't find anyone if they want to care, who is tired of living?"

"Then I don't know, but Wang Yan must go. He wins twenty-five thousand a day, that's eight hundred thousand a month, and he gets rich directly."

"If you have the life to win, you have to see if you have the life to spend. He doesn't look like he has no brains." Shen Jiandong pondered.

"Alright, uncle, why do you care about his business? We can't control it either. But I heard from Guo Jiwei that the person living in our room is tall and fat, and was knocked down by Wang Yan in the blink of an eye, riding on his body and slapping him, he is not a good person at all. As long as he doesn't cause us trouble, that's fine, right uncle?"

"Still sober." Glancing at his nephew, Shen Jiandong snorted and said, "As long as you have it figured out. Go back to sleep, if you dare to run around again, see if I don't kick you!"

"You can't bear it." Shen Xing smiled.

Shen Jiandong hissed and raised his foot to kick. Shen Xing said hey, dodged cheaply, and ran out.

Taking a big puff of smoke, in the smoke, Shen Jiandong scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, really grown up..."

He let out a long breath, then sat on the chair, looked through the things on the table, and couldn't help but look sad.

The situation of Jiandong Construction is not very good...

Steel bar worker is a technical type of work in a serious construction site. Its definition refers to personnel who use tools and machinery to rust, straighten, connect, cut, shape, and install steel bar skeletons.

This is divided into many steps, and naturally divided into corresponding personnel, each doing a stall, assembly line work.

Wang Steel Bar Worker Yan's work belongs to installing steel bar skeletons.

That is, fixing the processed steel bars on the building, and after his work is finished, the next step is concrete pouring and shaping work.

And this fixing process uses the tool he showed on the car earlier. Use this tool to fix it with multi-strand iron wire at the intersection of the steel bars. Just use one hand to wrap the iron wire, the other hand to hold the tool, use a hook to hook it, and then rotate it, it turns several times, tighten the iron wire, and fix the steel bar firmly.

This job is not easy to do, it is not easy to do anywhere. Because they work first, then pour concrete, so they pour layer by layer, and the building is also built layer by layer.

So this work must be exposed to the sun, wind, and rain. Unless it is special weather, as long as there are conditions for construction, before the topping out, it must be done day after day.

The Bomo region is a mountainous and hilly terrain, with an average altitude of 1,500 to 3,000 meters, due to its tropical monsoon climate, hot and humid. It is divided into rainy season and dry season, half a year dry, half a year wet.

So working here is not very comfortable, it is very hot.

But Wang Yan is a diligent steel bar worker, he didn't slack off, but worked the fastest.

His movements are very smooth, and the people who tie steel bars with him all say he can earn big money...

"No, Brother Yan, can you really do it?" Shen Xing leaned over.

"Is it interesting for me to lie to you?" Wang Yan waved his hand, "Go, go, don't affect me earning money."

"Just do it almost. Where are there such high requirements here? Come, Brother Yan, smoke a cigarette and rest, I even bought you iced Coke."

"Do you have something?"

"Am I that kind of person? Just see how you are doing, really."

So Wang Yan followed Shen Xing to the next floor, hiding from the sun, drank the iced Coke, lit a cigarette, and smoked comfortably leaning against the wall.

At this time, he was completely shirtless, and all the tattoos on his upper body were displayed.

"Brother Yan, what are these tattoos?"

"Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"Tattooing a book?"

"Almost, all kinds of exotic beasts, flowers and plants, etc. There are good ones and bad ones."

"This tattoo must cost a lot of money."

"It's useless. If you don't say that you are ignorant when you are young, look at old Shen, the old guy has a deep misunderstanding of me. I haven't done anything yet, first treat me as a criminal. I am so wronged."

Shen Xing nodded: "Yes, Brother Yan, don't be the same as my uncle, he has old thoughts."

"That's the boss who pays me, how can I be the same?"

Shen Xing smiled, then leaned in and asked: "Brother Yan, are you going out tonight?"

"What do you mean?"

"I think you'd better not go, it's not safe."

"You said this yesterday."

"Then you mean, you are still going?"

"Do you want to play too?"

Shen Xing shook his head repeatedly: "How dare I? Then my uncle won't kick me to death."

"If you don't play and don't go, then don't ask so much. Don't you know curiosity kills the cat? You say if I cause some trouble, and people finally find your head, how do you round it?"

"Then I'd better really know something."

"You are wrong."

Wang Yan shook his head amusedly, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "If you know a little, others will think you know more. At that time, you will be even more miserable. But if you really don't know, people can see it, and at most they will beat you half to death, and then sell you to some place to do hard labor. At least you can save your life."

"Brother Yan, aren't you afraid?"

Shen Xing looked left and right, then whispered more quietly, "After we left last night, I looked back and found that several people were watching us leave, and they looked unkind at first glance."

"A bit sharp."

"Brother Yan, I'm telling you the truth."

Wang Yan said: "It's the same reason as when you took the college entrance examination. When you found that the classmates around you all went to good universities, but you were just a junior college. What did you think then?"

"I don't like to learn..."

"What you think is if I had learned at that time, you would think you have a few points of cleverness, the knowledge of high school is not very difficult, you think as long as you work hard, you can get into a good university."

Wang Yan interrupted Shen Xing's words, then patted him on the shoulder, "I am like this now. Before others put a gun to my head, I think I can control everything. It seems like Boss Liu yesterday, he thought as long as he played again, he would definitely be able to turn the book, but only losing his pants would wait for him."

"What about you, Brother Yan?"

"I have similarities with him, but not the same. His life is set, but he doesn't know it, and I haven't yet."

"Brother Yan, what is your next round?"

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "This sentence is a bit subtle. But I don't know either, and I won't tell you if I know. Here, being too curious will really kill people, you have to pay attention."

Immediately, Wang Yan raised his head and drank the iced Coke, burped comfortably, threw away the cigarette butt, and swayed to go up to tie steel bars again...

"Brother Xing, did you persuade Brother Yan?"

In the shade of the construction site, Guo Jiwei was resting with a gray face.

He had no skills, and the work he did here was hard labor. Mainly doing miscellaneous work, transporting various materials, very hard, of course, earning basically the same as Wang Yan.

Shen Xing shook his head: "Can't persuade, everyone has their own life. Let's not worry about him, he is much more powerful than the two of us."

"I feel Brother Yan is indeed unusual." Guo Jiwei said, "He seems to be afraid of nothing, unlike me..."

"Just you are afraid." Shen Xing patted Guo Jiwei, got up and said, "Alright, Uncle Li called me, I have to pull goods. Don't persuade Brother Yan blindly, if you say too much and get beaten up, you will be honest."

"Can't, Brother Yan is a good person."

Shen Xing was speechless, turned and left.

He began to think Wang Yan was a bad person, later chatted a bit, and thought Wang Yan was a good person, went to a casino, and said some words, he couldn't see clearly again.

He thought, Wang Yan is not necessarily bad, but definitely not good...

After working for a day, Wang Yan washed the dust on his body with cold water, took off the work clothes issued by the construction site, and changed into the white half-sleeve, jeans, and cloth shoes he wore.

Today's dinner is obviously not as good as yesterday.

Of course, it can also be understood, after all, it is free food and drink, people have food to eat, which is not bad, how can they be full of wine and meat every meal. However, even so, it is not bad, the oil and salt of the dishes are very heavy, that is, there is no wine. If you want to drink, you have to spend money to buy it from the construction site yourself.

Wang Yan didn't buy it either, although he could drink, he didn't like wine.

Just like that, after dinner, he left the construction site directly.

In front of Shen Jiandong, he walked swaggeringly from the entrance.

Even because of rushing the work, he had to continue working after dinner, Wang Yan didn't do it either. After all, he worked fast and did a lot, one person topped the workload of three people.

Shen Jiandong couldn't say anything either.

Of course, it wasn't that he was afraid of Wang Yan, after all, he could safely start work here, and he also knew two people. He just didn't want to add trouble, as long as Wang Yan did the work, he wouldn't care.

After all, if Wang Yan was really anxious, even if he knew the Jade Emperor, he wouldn't be in front of him, and it wouldn't work if he knew anyone.

He wasn't afraid of Wang Yan...

"Damn, die outside sooner or later..."

Shen Jiandong scolded and went to urge the workers to work...

He wasn't afraid of Wang Yan...
