Chapter 2 [Getting stronger? ]

Chen Yan is drawing cards.

When he got home just now, the old lady had no intention of greeting him at all, so Chen Yan could only move a small stool and sit next to her.

Just looking is not enough!
In the middle, the old lady went to the toilet, and Chen Yan had to go to the table to help her!
Looking at the cards lined up in front of me...

One by one / fifty, six, seventy thousand / twenty thousand, twenty thousand, twenty thousand / four, five, seven cakes...

Chen Yan suddenly felt a little dazed.

No, why did I come back? ! !
I was sad for several hours along the way!
Two and a half hours on the high-speed rail, one hour on the long-distance bus, plus a three-mile walk!

Did you know, old lady, I almost cried before I even walked in?!

Huh? This is a good hand.

Knock out seven cakes and listen to three or six cakes...

Wait, what am I thinking!

My emotions are incoherent!

Chen Yan felt that his mind was a little confused.

When he turned around, he saw the old lady sitting on the bench next to him, chewing a washed sweet potato in her hand.

After glancing at Chen Yan, the old lady snapped the sweet potato in her hand into two pieces and handed over half.

"Eat?"

"... Old lady, you have quite a strong grip."

·
Around five o'clock in the evening, after eight rounds of play for the day, several old partners said goodbye.

After seeing off the neighbors, Old Lady Zhang and Old Lame Xu, the last person to leave was Uncle Niu, who ran the small shop.

Before Uncle Niu left, the old lady called him.

"Old cow."

"What's wrong?" Uncle Niu lost ten yuan and eighty cents today and was unhappy: "The money was not calculated wrong! I gave you a lot!"

The old lady smiled, looked at Lao Niu carefully, sighed softly, and waved her hand: "Forget it, I calculated what would happen to your family in the future, and wanted to say a few words to you... But, by the time that happened, you would be long gone.

Don't say anymore, it only adds to your troubles."

The old bull was stunned - no, is this a good thing to say?
However, Uncle Niu was also familiar with the old lady and knew that she was always full of strange things to say. He immediately laughed and scolded her, "Are you making fun of me again? I'm going to the county to see my grandson tomorrow morning. We can play cards next week."

The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled, without saying a word, and sent the old cow away.

The grandfather and grandson can finally face off 1v1.

After staring at each other for a while, Chen Yan couldn't hold it anymore.

"Old lady, you have won the money that Uncle Niu used to buy meat again, right? Uncle Niu's family will have to eat vegetarian food for the next two days." Chen Yan muttered cautiously.

"It's nothing. Old cows have high blood lipids. Eating less meat will be good for them. Maybe they can live a few more years."

The old lady smiled so kindly, turned around and went into the kitchen, and took out a bowl of jelly from the cupboard.

"It's made with mung bean flour. I knew you were coming back, so I had it delivered this afternoon. The sesame oil is in the cupboard, take it yourself."

No! You haven’t made yourself clear, what are you eating jelly for?

Chen Yan looked at the bowl of jelly and drooled in anger.

After calming himself down and taking a deep breath, Chen Yan stared at the old lady.

"The old village chief called me."

"Hmm. What's going on? He's going to sponsor a talk show?"

Chen Yan rolled his eyes.

The old lady is quite nice. It seems that you have been using the Penguin membership I recharged for you?

The old lady took a puff of her cigarette, walked over and closed the door to the main hall, and Chen Yan followed her and asked questions all the way.

"The old village chief said that you fainted yesterday morning and went to the hospital?"

"Well, that's right, I went there and came back." The old lady said lightly.

"What do you mean?"

"It's useless to go to the hospital, so I came back." The old lady said calmly.

Chen Yan was stunned. "Then why did you faint? Heatstroke? That's impossible. At this time of year, it's almost snowing in a few days."

The old lady didn't say anything. She walked back to the table and looked at the jelly on the table. She picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. She smacked her lips and looked at Chen Yan with a squint: "It tastes good. You really don't want to eat it?"

Chen Yan scratched his hair hard, a little angry: "Grandma! Ancestor! What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"Ah, it's nothing serious." The old lady ate her jelly, smacking her lips and looking nonchalant. "But to be honest, I really should have called you back."

Chen Yan smiled helplessly: "Go ahead."

The old lady put down her chopsticks and looked at Chen Yan with a smile.

"Um... I said I'm dying, do you believe me?"

Chen Yan: o_o….
·
Two seconds later.

"what?"

Chen Yan jumped up and down.

The old lady waved her hands good-naturedly, her emotions very stable and her attitude very kind: "Don't jump yet.

That's the thing. I calculated, and there's still one day left."

Chen Yan became even more anxious!

"Can you please stop making trouble? Grandpa!" He was about to go over and grab the old lady's arm: "Come on! I'll go to the hospital with you! Now!"

"Okay, I told you that hospitals are useless." The old lady brushed off Chen Yan's hand and took a leisurely puff of cigarette... The old lady was really calm and composed, and even gave a little sigh.

Well, it's the kind where you take a puff into your mouth, then exhale the smoke directly from your mouth without inhaling it into your trachea, and then inhale it back in through your nose.

As for this trick, if you have been smoking for less than ten years, you won’t be able to master it without suffering from bronchitis seven or eight times.

·
The old lady smiled softly and said, "There's really no need to go to the hospital. I calculated it myself and it's called the end of my life!

It’s fate. Your grandmother, I, and…”

As he spoke, he glanced at the clock on the wall... Hmm? It wasn't ticking. The batteries hadn't been changed, so it stopped a long time ago.

The old lady grabbed Chen Yan's cell phone on the table and glanced at the time on it.

"...I have eighteen hours and forty-three minutes left to live."

Chen Yan:?
His first reaction was: How the hell can this be calculated so accurately?

Accurate to the minute?!
·
The more absurd the old lady's words were, the less anxious Chen Yan became at this moment: from childhood to adulthood, he had experienced the old lady talking nonsense like this too many times.

Well, according to the old lady, her own mother was transformed from a white fox.

I looked at the old lady carefully again and again...

Chen Yan judged in his heart that this time, it should be the same as the countless pranks he had experienced since he was a child. Was the old lady playing a trick on him?

Have you ever seen a grandmother lie to her eight-year-old grandson, telling him that if he wanted to learn the magical skills of the Fire Cloud Evil God, he had to eat a spoonful of stir-fried chili peppers every day?

That summer, Chen Yan's butt hurt for two weeks!

As for the dark history of how he had watched some TV show and wanted to imitate the "Tian Can Jiao" technique, and then been tricked by an old lady into walking barefoot on cow dung, just thinking about it now made Chen Yan cry...

Anyway! Over time, Chen Yan knew too well what kind of person the old lady was.

Various pranks and jokes without any limit have been an indispensable part of the life of the grandfather and grandson for the past twenty years.

Okay, old lady, you like to act, right?

Act!

Chen Yan suddenly became angry and stopped talking. He went straight to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks and began to concentrate on attacking the bowl of jelly in front of him.

Looking at Chen Yan eating jelly, the old lady smiled kindly.

"Oh, my burial clothes are ready. I need to try them on later. If they don't fit, there's still time to alter them. Let's go knock on the door of Tailor Liu before it gets dark."

The old lady suddenly said this out of the blue.

"...Okay, okay." Chen Yan rolled his eyes helplessly.

·
In the middle of the night, lying on the bed in his little room, Chen Yan tossed and turned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

However, listening to the old lady's deafening snoring in the next room, it was like a tidal wave and full of energy!
This lung capacity! This spirit!

I've been living in this city with sub-health conditions for a few years. If I don't quit smoking, drinking and masturbating, maybe she can send me away.

Chen Yan felt a little more at ease, turned over and finally fell asleep.

·
The journey home was so tiring that Chen Yan didn't get up until almost noon the next day. He hadn't even put on his clothes and brushed his teeth when the old lady sent him to the village entrance to buy soy sauce.

Chen Yan walked to the village entrance yawning, and suddenly saw a black car whizzing past him.

Yo? Big Benz.

Oh, that’s not right, it’s not a Mercedes-Benz.

This is a Maybach.

After all, having attended university for several years in a big city like Jinling Prefecture, Chen Yan has seen some of the world.

Could it be that some wealthy investor has come to the village?
Chen Yan looked back a few times, only to find that the Maybach had driven more than ten meters before it braked suddenly and stopped, then quickly backed up to Chen Yan's side before stopping again.

The car window rolled down, revealing a face covered in flesh. He asked in a rough voice:
"Is that Mr. Chen Yan?"

Chen Yan was stunned.

But looking at the other person's face full of flesh, he doesn't look like a good person.

Chen Yan quickly shook his head: "No."

"Oh... then may I know how to get to Chen Yan's house?" Chen Yan smiled calmly and pointed in the opposite direction: "Go about five hundred meters over there, cross the river and turn right."

"thank you."

The Maybach started and drove away, and Chen Yan turned around and ran towards the home of the village security director - the director's two sons are both police officers.

There are also two big dogs in the yard, they are very ferocious.

Unfortunately, a few seconds later, the Maybach drove back.

A sharp turn stopped in front of Chen Yan, and two sturdy men in black walked out of the car. Their target was clear, heading straight for Chen Yan.

"You're lying, kid! We've seen your photo, you are Chen Yan!"

Chen Yan struggled in vain and became anxious.

No!

You either can't react in time! Or you react later!
It's so difficult for me to deal with this situation!

·
Without saying anything, the two men carried Chen Yan into the car, stuffed him into the back seat, and then sandwiched Chen Yan in the middle, one on each side.

The Maybach sped away.

Chen Yan looked around cautiously in the car.

The driver in the front seat, the co-pilot, and the two strong men beside him.

There were four men in total, all dressed in black suits, looking very tough.

A face full of fat, a buzz cut - let's put it this way, if you were thrown into Dahengdian to be an extra, you could play a gangster, a fugitive or something, and you wouldn't even need to wear makeup.

Chen Yan forced a smile.

"Um, brothers, do you have any advice?"

no answer.

Seeing the car leaving the village, Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then tentatively whispered, "Brother, I have kidney deficiency, my kidneys are worthless... well, I also have fatty liver, my liver is worthless too..."

The evil man sitting on the left finally couldn't help but speak.

"Don't talk nonsense, we don't want your organs."

The burly man in black in the front passenger seat was probably the leader. He also turned around and glanced at Chen Yan: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people. Our boss wants you to meet him."

boss?

What boss?
……

The Maybach left the village and drove into a nearby town more than ten minutes later.

The best hotel in town is called the Grand Oriental Hotel.

The two "big" characters fully reflect the boss's shallow cultural background.

The name sounds grand, but it’s actually just two floors.

The car drove to the open space at the back door of the hotel and stopped. Chen Yan was carried out of the car by two strong men and then taken all the way to the top floor of the hotel.

The door at the end of the corridor was pushed open, and a man in black next to Chen Yan made a gesture to invite him in.

Chen Yan glanced at the other person.

I was not panicking at all: the little savings I had at home were not enough for someone to come and kill me for money.

Besides, curiosity took over at this moment.

He walked through the door.

Then, he saw a thin old man who looked like an alien sitting on the sofa in the spacious room, giving him the kind of "approachable" smile that a big shot would give.

Huh? This face looks so familiar!

Live!

The middle-aged man stood up and extended his hand to Chen Yan with a smile.

"Mr. Chen Yan? Hello, I'm Ma..."

"Mr. Ma, I'm afraid there are few people who don't recognize your face." - Well, a few years ago, countless people on the Internet cried and called him the "sugar daddy". In recent years, some things happened and his reputation has deteriorated, and more people are scolding him.

Chen Yan was a bit stunned, but he wasn't overly enthusiastic either. He was a rather aloof person by nature, so even though the man in front of him was a wealthy man and he was just a small fry, he wasn't thrilled. Even if he had a lot of money, if he didn't spend it on me, why would I be excited?

If Chen Yan had been able to meet this big boss a few days ago, he might have pretended to lick him - after all, he had been working for the other company.

Now……

The relationship between them is very simple: he is the service provider, and we are the valued users!

Boss Ma looked at Chen Yan with a rather deep smile: "Come, let's sit down and talk. This is my first time in your place, and I don't know the local customs, so I asked someone to prepare something casually."

There was a dining table in the room, with some local specialties on it.

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows after taking a look at the two bottles of state-banquet-grade Moutai placed in the center of the table.

"Can I have a drink? Let's have a couple of drinks." Boss Ma waved his hand with a heroic gesture and tilted his head: "Cancel all my afternoon schedules. Mr. Chen Yan and I are going to get drunk together."

Chen Yan was stunned, and then he realized that there was a person standing in the corner next to the sofa in the room. He was probably Boss Ma's confidant, a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance. After receiving Boss Ma's instructions, he nodded, took out his mobile phone and sent a few messages, then continued to stand quietly in the room.

Chen Yan was pushed to the table and sat down.

"How old is Mr. Chen Yan this year?"

"twenty two."

"Young and promising! Where can you find a good job?"

"Uh..." Chen Yan glanced at the other person, thought for a moment, and finally told the truth: "I was originally an intern in the planning department of a local advertising company affiliated with a Huali branch in Jinling Prefecture."

"Oh? Are you from our Huali department? The planning department of the ground-based advertising company under Jinling Prefecture?" A gleam of light flashed in Boss Ma's eyes, and there was also a hint of surprise.

"It's not like that anymore..." Chen Yan said slowly.

"Why?" Old Ma was suddenly disappointed.

Chen Yan said calmly and seriously, "It's nothing. I'm not capable enough. I can't find a way to get started. I can't align with my superiors on granularity. I can't empower the company, so I just proactively optimize myself."

How can I describe the expression on my face? I'm not pretending anymore and I'm going to be honest. I'm in a yin-yang situation and I'm just not in a good mood.

"..."

Boss Ma was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and coughed, then suddenly tilted his head: "Let's check who is in charge of the advertising company under the Jinling Prefecture branch, and who is the person in charge of the planning department over there."

"Okay." The middle-aged man with no sense of presence nodded and was about to pick up his phone.

Boss Ma suddenly shook his head, waved his hand and smiled: "Forget it, no need to check."

After taking a look at the coldness in Chen Yan's eyes, Boss Ma suddenly added lightly.

"Fire them both."

All!
炒！
Off!
Let's go!
Chen Yan looked at Boss Ma in surprise.

Are all you capitalists so cruel in your actions?
Suddenly, an absurd and unbelievable thought flashed through my mind.

wait a minute!

Such a big boss suddenly came to me? And he was so nice to me?

Um…………

Didn’t the old lady always say that she was picked up?
This Boss Ma, he wouldn't... he wouldn't be...

But then Chen Yan looked at Boss Ma again and dispelled this ridiculous guess.

Just my face, Chen! This beauty! This height!
Look at that alien face and that small body...

He couldn't give birth to a son as big as me.

"Um, Mr. Ma." Chen Yan finally calmed down and took a deep breath. "I don't know why you sent someone to find me here. Hmm... You're a wealthy boss, and I'm just a nobody... I got up this morning and hadn't even brushed my teeth when my old lady sent me out to buy something. I'm so confused now, how about you help me solve this puzzle first?"

Boss Ma's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of cold cucumber shreds, put it into his mouth, and asked a question as if casually.

"Is the old lady in the mansion okay?"

"Ok?"

old lady?
Boss Ma knows our old witch?!

Chen Yan took a deep breath, his heart beating fast.

"You... know our family deity... um, my grandmother?"

"know!"

Boss Ma's answer was straightforward. Then, in a low but firm voice, he said, "Back then, your grandmother helped me once."

Chen Yan: “…”

Help you once? What can our weird old lady do for you?
Did she perform a ritual to call back your soul? Or did the old lady give you some talismanic water when you were sick?
"Many years ago, I encountered a difficult situation. Through a referral, I found this old man to do my fortune-telling. That time, he was of great help to me." Boss Ma suddenly felt a little emotional and couldn't help but add, "It was very helpful."

Wait!
Wait a minute!

Chen Yan blinked hard.

Our old lady's business has even expanded to the Forbes list!

no……

What has been going on this morning?

Did I get up too fast today?
It's a bit magical.
