my old life

Chapter 699 Three Eagles with One Arrow

This bad premonition came so suddenly, but my intuition never deceived me. I stood at the door and glanced at the fat man.

"Brother Fat, do you want to let the soldiers..."

"No, I can see that this person has been professionally trained and has a good heart."

I was a little surprised by what the fat man said, but I didn't tell him anything, how could he tell that the soldier was acting like a fool?

"Really? Fat brother, are you so confident?" In fact, I was very worried that the drunk soldier would mess around. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!

"I was about to ask you, where did you find such a helper? I'm afraid it's hard to control..."

Fatty's words shocked me again, and I couldn't help giving him a thumbs up in my heart!It really is an old Jianghu, anyone can see the same at a glance!

"To be honest..."

"Take a step to speak."

The fat man interrupted me and went directly to the side room next to me. I followed in, but I didn't expect that there was also a kang burning here, and there was a pair of ladies' shoes on the bedside. It seemed that this was where Liu Lan lived.

"Come here and I'll get you a padded jacket. I bought several padded jackets when I came here. I kept them for the New Year." As he spoke, the fat man began to rummage through the box and took out a large navy blue padded jacket.

"No, no, no, I'm pretty good like this...haha!" I couldn't help laughing at the fat man, the old padded jacket was too rustic to wear!
"Actually, the old padded jacket is pretty good. It's enough to keep warm on your body, but you, where did you get such a guy?" The fat man handed over a cigarette, and it seemed that he had already recognized the identity of the soldier.

I briefly told Fatty about the process of getting to know Dabing, deliberately ignoring some details, but I specifically talked about tattoos and scars, and Fatty fell into deep thought after listening.

"Sanming, I'm afraid this guy is not simple! From when he drank just now, I could tell something was wrong..."

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be able to drink much..." I was a little puzzled, but I believed that the fat man must have found something out of nothing!
"When he drinks, he never takes his eyes off the table, and never raises his head to reveal his neck. He is very careful in his gestures, and he looks like he has received professional training!"

"Awesome! You can tell this. This guy likes to gamble. If it weren't for his own body, I wouldn't have gone through so much trouble..."

I sighed helplessly, it is really difficult to win someone over without a foundation of emotion, but I have no other choice.

"But it's hard for you to control this guy. This guy doesn't look like he can work his life for money. On the contrary, he seems to be in a trough and has no choice... Have you noticed the way he looks at you?"

The fat man took a meaningful puff of his cigarette, and I felt that there was something in his words.

"This... I really didn't pay attention." I started to mutter in my heart, if the fat man didn't tell me, I really didn't pay attention.

"He always looks at you with disdain, and the inadvertent feeling shows that he doesn't accept you!"

"Fuck! Fat brother is amazing! Can you guess this?"

The fat man couldn't help but slap his legs. At this moment, it feels like his second uncle is explaining to me. After all, he is an old man, and I know that he has a lot of tricks!

"If you really want to take him for your own use... I have a few good ideas, but I don't know if it will work."

"What way? Let's hear it."

I rubbed my hands and handed over a cigarette, I'm still ashamed of myself in terms of Jianghu City Mansion... In fact, since the fat man said that, it proves that he must have a way!
"Do you know how Liu Bei, a frail scholar, made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei follow him to conquer the world? Is it because of money?"

Fatty's words reminded me that although I don't know much about the Three Kingdoms, I also know the story of being in Cao Ying and being in Han, that is the highest level of employing people!
"I don't know much about this... Please give me some pointers from Brother Fat."

"Actually, Liu Bei relied on his loyalty to win people's hearts. Think about the story of the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, and then think about selling houses and land for the eldest brother...Why can't Cao Cao and Sun Quan give them more money to buy them?"

"I understand!"

Fatty's words made me suddenly realize that I only know how to use benefits to win people's hearts, but I forgot to use loyalty to win people's hearts, but this is the most important thing!
In the past, I only saw the interests of the second uncle and old man's team, but ignored the most important relationship between them, that is, they are all like brothers, and on this basis, the common interests are derived.

"No, you still don't understand..." Fatty's words made my heart skip a beat. Did I get it wrong?
"Three knots in Taoyuan are just a formality. The most important thing is that Liu Bei discovers them and knows how to use them well! If it weren't for Liu Bei, maybe there would be no Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in history..."

Fatty’s words reminded me of my second uncle. He once said that everyone’s value should be discovered and tapped out. Only by becoming the Bole in their hearts will they be grateful.

At this moment, I suddenly understood a method, and also understood the true meaning of combining hardness and softness, and more importantly, I understood a principle of being a human being!

"Brother Fat, I have to say that you are still scheming! I accept this point!" I sincerely sighed, but the fat man suddenly laughed.

"You are really different from others. I owe you once when you went to Wucheng. I'm afraid this friendship will never be cleared..."

Fatty looked at me meaningfully, he clearly meant something, could it be... a bold idea came to my mind, maybe this is the purpose of Fatty to really mention me!

"The weather is nice today, why don't we also come to Taoyuan Sanjie? I am short of Zhuge Liang here..." I asked tentatively, passing a cigarette by the way.

Invisibly, I compared the fat man to Zhuge Liang, and using things to describe people also hinted at my attitude towards him.

"Sure enough, you're so smart! Today is indeed a good day, but I think tomorrow will be even better!" Fatty agreed without saying a word, but I understood the deeper meaning!

I'm afraid that tonight they will join forces for a game, a game specifically targeting soldiers, and in this game, they will definitely do everything possible to win over the relationship.

"No problem, everything is arranged by Fatty!" I quietly gave Fatty some face, and invisibly confirmed my attitude towards him in the future, but there are some things in my heart that are like a mirror!
On the surface, it seems that the fat man wants to help me recruit the soldiers, but in the bottom of it he is thinking about himself. After all, he can't go back to Chu County, and the most important thing to wander outside with the whole family is to have a backer!
Looking at the fat man now, there are very few backers he can find. If he had good friends from the past, would he still live in a remote farmyard in Shencheng?

To put it bluntly, Fatty wants to have a better relationship with me, because he clearly knows that my second uncle's old gang is behind me, and I can be used at any time!
But the addition of the fat man will also make me stronger. In terms of brains, I admit that I can't be as sophisticated as him. I am afraid that only the second uncle can compete with him...

I have to say that the fat man played a beautiful game of killing two birds with one stone. On the surface, he helped me once and found a backer for himself...

To be honest, I would also like to thank Chu County Dai Fei at this moment. If it wasn't for his revenge, I am afraid that the fat man would not easily join my gang, let alone open his mouth easily.

With his ability, he is popular everywhere, but now he is cared about by his family. I also understand what the fat man means. He is implying that I want to settle down with his family!It turned out to kill three birds with one stone!
"Brother Fat, although this place is clean, life is not very convenient after all. I will arrange a place in the city in a few days for my sister-in-law and the child to live there."

"Well, how dare you do this? I have already caused you a lot of trouble, so why bother you again? It's better not to bother..."

The fat man tactfully refused, but after hearing about the twists and turns, I heard the hidden meaning!
"It's okay, don't worry about living in our own house. Later, I will choose a school district house in a good location and directly put it under the name of my sister-in-law so that the children can go to school."

"This, this is not acceptable!" Fatty waved his hands again and again, but I knew he was being polite.

"Needless to say, this matter is settled like this! It is necessary!" I made a decision directly to settle the matter, and when I turned around, I gritted my teeth and bought a house for him!

I clearly know that Fatty's joining is far more than the value of a house. Although he can buy it himself, he gave me this opportunity and I will seize it!

To put it bluntly, the human heart is greedy. No matter whether there is money or not, the taste of getting something for nothing is always addictive. Maybe this is human nature...

"Come with me, let's go to the wine cellar at the back and get ready, so we won't go home without getting drunk tonight!"

The fat man gave me a sneaky look, and I immediately understood, I knew that the fat man was going to play dirty tricks!
