The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 194 Shen Li's Request

Living in this "commoner" residential area, even though Shen Li was only fifteen years old, she had seen too many things between men and women. She didn't care about some things anymore, but she just thought that instead of being slept with by many men in the future, it would be better to pick a man who looked good and slept with her.

"Your house is nice. Can I live here?" Shen Li asked Jiang Cheng.

Shen Li's eyes were filled with desire. In fact, the house was not very good. But she didn't say it so directly. She wanted to move in to ask Jiang Cheng if he would support her.

She wanted to get away from her aunt and uncle's house, and even from her cousins, none of whom were kind to her. But she needed a place to stay, so she had to gamble, and seize every opportunity to gamble. She was not afraid of losing the gamble, but she was afraid of not even having the opportunity to gamble.

Even if Jiang Cheng in front of her was a gentleman on the surface, he would use her body to make money after taking her in. But that would be a loss at best, because even if she didn't gamble, her fate would be the same.

"There are three other people living in this house. I'm not the only one living here. And I may come here once or twice a month." Jiang Cheng replied.

If Shen Li wasn't pretty, there would be many people with the same fate as her in Hong Kong, and Jiang Cheng would have no mercy on her. Now he has sympathy, but because of his wife Zhou Lingying, his sympathy is not strong.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that there were three other people living there, and would have directly rented another house for her, a cheap, smaller one that could be rented for just 100 Hong Kong dollars.

And when Shen Li said to support her, Jiang Cheng understood that she really meant to simply support her, to give her food and some pocket money. Support here means to support her, and even to find things for her to do. In later generations, if a woman lets you support her, it is called keeping her, which is completely different in nature.

Shen Li was very disappointed to hear that there were three people living here. But this house has two bedrooms and one living room, so she couldn't help asking: "How do you live then? Two people live in one room. Is there anyone living in the living room? I can sleep in the living room. When you want me to sleep with you, it's up to you in the living room or in the room."

Shen Li said this with courage. If Jiang Cheng hadn't taken the initiative to enter her uncle's house today and treated her as a prostitute, she wouldn't have dared to take the initiative to chat up strangers.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng really wanted to curse the Japanese people, saying that they were causing great harm to others. After watching too many Japanese movies, their thoughts on men and women would really change. The other party was only fifteen years old, and it was unbearable for most people to hear such blunt words.

"I live in this room alone. The others came here to make money from me. They are all from the mainland. In fact, I met those three people this morning."

Jiang Cheng talked to Shen Li, and he was also bored, so he told her about how he met Zhang Hao and others in the morning.

Shen Li didn't expect the situation here to be like this. She was both happy and worried.

The happy thing is that the other three people are not that close to Jiang Cheng, and they just met today. In this case, Jiang Cheng is better off raising her than raising three men. This is not to say that Shen Li can do things better than the other three, but at least her loyalty is better than the others.

But it was also a worry, because Jiang Cheng didn't know the other three people well. Jiang Cheng said that he could only stay here a few times a month, mainly to find someone to help with things. Without Jiang Cheng, Shen Li was a little scared to live with three men.

"Brother Cheng, if I live here, the others won't bully me, right?" Shen Li asked.

She hasn't followed Jiang Cheng yet. If Jiang Cheng asks her to sleep with another man after she follows him, she will lose the bet. But now Shen Li wants a promise, even if it is a false promise.

Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment. He could not guarantee anything about such a thing. Although Zhang Hao and his men seemed okay, one could never know a person's heart.

But Jiang Cheng would not rent a house for Shen Li alone, at least not now.

"Anyway, I've already told you about their situation. They definitely won't do that while I'm around. I can also tell them not to touch you. But if they are indecisive and don't want to follow me, I can't guarantee you anything." Jiang Cheng responded.

Zhang Hao, A Guang and A Li wanted to join the gang to collect security fees at first. If that were the case, they might not make much money, but they would be free and relaxed. Jiang Cheng was doing legitimate business, but Hong Kong was a bit chaotic these days. He could train some people like security guards, but that would only earn him a salary.

In fact, Jiang Cheng already has an idea to run a business, but he doesn't know whether Zhang Hao and others are willing to do it.

"Brother Cheng, I just hope you won't lie to me. I'll go back and pack my things. Even if my uncle and the others find me, I won't go back. You just need to protect me, and you don't have to spend money to buy me from them." Shen Li said.

A fifteen-year-old girl is so bold. It is true that people can grow wisely in difficult situations.

Jiang Cheng now knew the situation, and he also planned to pick up Shen Li for free. If her uncle dared to cause trouble, he would call Zhang Hao and others to teach him a lesson.

"Okay, Lily, you can cook. You will be in charge of everyone's meals. Living here is only temporary, and I will rent a house for you later." Jiang Cheng said.

Although this little girl can't do anything, Shen Li is in this situation. Unless she goes to sell herself in Hong Kong, it is really a good choice for a young and weak woman to rely on a man. This reliability is indeed stronger than Zhang Hao and others.

When Shen Li heard that Jiang Cheng had arranged a job for her in the future, she felt even more determined and left her rented house to pack her things.

Jiang Cheng was lying in his room resting, as he didn't sleep well last night. After sleeping for more than half an hour, Shen Li didn't come back, but Zhang Hao and the others came back.

I don't know where they got their hair cut, but all three of them had the same short haircut, which made them look more energetic. This one bought new clothes and got his hair cut, and his image changed a lot compared to those people at the pier and under the bridge.

On the way back, I bought cigarettes and playing cards. I was too poor to buy cigarettes. But now I have Jiang Cheng as my boss, so at least I don't have to worry about food. The only money I have left is naturally spent on cigarettes and playing cards.

"Brother Cheng, we are back from getting our hair cut. Can you tell us what you plan to have us do?" Zhang Hao asked.

"Okay, I'll tell you my idea first. It's up to you whether you want to follow me or not. My plan is~~."

"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, open the door quickly."

Just when Jiang Cheng was about to tell his plan, an anxious voice called out from outside the door. Jiang Cheng knew it was Shen Li. After waiting for so long without her coming, Jiang Cheng actually thought she regretted it and didn't dare to come.

"Ali, open the door quickly." Jiang Cheng called Ali, who was standing closest to the door.

Ali opened the door without hesitation. He saw a very distinctive little girl running in with something. Just as he was about to ask Jiang Cheng who this girl was, Shen Li spoke first.

"Brother Cheng, when I came out, I was discovered by my aunt. She should be here soon. Please help me." Shen Li said as she walked towards Jiang Cheng.

"Ahao, settle Lily's issue first. She will be with us from now on. Lily, don't worry, as long as you really don't owe your aunt's family anything and are willing to follow me, I will definitely not let you be taken back today." Jiang Cheng instructed Zhang Hao, and then comforted Shen Li.

Not long after Jiang Cheng finished speaking, a woman's voice calling "Lily" was heard outside the room.
