90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 135 Missing you over the phone

Bai Lu picked up the receiver and put it to her ear.

There was the sound of the wind blowing by on the other end of the phone, and the whistle of ships passing by on the river.

 Only the familiar low voice of a man is absent.

Not knowing why he was there, Bai Lu tentatively spoke and read out the name: "Xiao Cheng?"

 The receiver responded immediately: "Yeah."

The low-mellow voice is a bit lazy, and it seems particularly clear among the chaotic sounds around it.

 “Have you eaten?” Bai Lu had nothing to do but was looking for something to talk about. No, she had nothing to talk about.

Chatting on the phone or face to face, there is always a strange feeling that cannot be explained.

 The man on the other end of the phone responded, "Have eaten." After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Have you finished washing your clothes?"

Bai Lu didn't understand his commonplace inquiry, and subconsciously dug her fingers at the edge of the table.

 Answer: "It's finished."

 “Aren’t you here yet?”

It seems that he said before that it would be slower to go to Guangdong Province by water, and it would take two or three days to arrive.

 No matter what, I’ve asked all the questions and can’t take them back.

Bai Lu didn't wait long before a man's low laughter came from the other end of the phone: "I'll be there the day after tomorrow morning."

That shallow chuckle seemed to be laughing at her poor memory, but also seemed to be laughing at her for knowing how to care about him.

 In short, it sounds different from the past, and it has a profound meaning.

Bai Lu covered the receiver, stretched out the phone cord, turned around, went to the Eight Immortals table to pour a glass of water, and drank it in a few sips.

The chaotic thinking returned to normal, and the words became smooth again. He said: "You are going to another province and you are not familiar with the place. Don't be so impulsive when things happen. Don't just attack others. The local forces outside are complicated and difficult to suppress." You know the truth about local snakes better than I do.”

“You will only suffer the consequences if you go head-to-head. Just endure the calm for a while and take a step back to see the world. If you really can’t bear it, try not to do it in public. It’s not Nanshi, Pingcheng or Xinzhen. No one will help you..."

 It is a world of interests outside. If you have money, you are a boss. If you don’t have money, you are just a grandson who can be bullied.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Cheng leaned on the railing and blew in the river breeze, silently listening to the girl's long instructions.

The image of her standing in front of him, talking softly to him, with a sweet smile gradually appeared in his mind.

 The way he looked when he was angry and pinched him.

 Smile and give him the look of pinching peppers.

 The way he turned his back to him while sleeping and ignored him.

The picture became clearer and clearer. Xiao Cheng's brows and eyes, which had been blown cold by the wind, were infected by the moonlight that fell from nowhere. They melted and became warmer, and his deep and rich voice also became a little lower.

"knew."

 The sentence "I know" reminded Bai Lu of a stubborn and disobedient three-year-old child: "Don't say you know, you have to listen. I'm not kidding you."

Xiao Cheng looked up and saw the moon in the sky. He had a serious and energetic face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"good."

"Listen to you."

 The promise of a boss is more effective than that of a three-year-old child.

Bai Lu was satisfied and continued to tell her what she had not had the chance to say in the morning: "There are many liars and pickpockets out there. When you sell the fir wood, you must keep the money. Ordinary backpacks are unreliable. Pickpockets can open them with a slash of a knife."

“You have to be careful when staying in a hotel at night. Not only do you have to protect your money, but you also have to be careful of the immortal jump. Don’t accept the small business card handed in through the door...it’s a trap...”

Here at home, Xiao Cheng's reputation as a bully is far and wide, and no one dares to slip a business card into him.

 It’s different outside.

No one knows who Xiao Cheng is, and they don't care who Xiao Cheng is. They will target anyone who knows who has money.

Bai Lu followed her father in later generations and read countless files, large and small. Whether it was Immortal Dance or Pig Killing Plate, there was a huge and strict organization behind it.

 Use stupid methods to deal with stupid people, and you have your own set of highly sophisticated and customized methods to deal with smart people.

Not to mention young people who are just starting out in society, even well-known entrepreneurs in later generations have been assassinated by opponents' schemes with fairy jumps. In the end, they were forced to abdicate from the group they worked hard to build and give way to talents. At this time in the previous life, Xiao Cheng and Luo Shiliu were still in the situation, but Xiao Wei had disappeared. There was no matter of the kraft paper or the reselling of fir wood out of the province.

Now the trajectory of people and affairs has changed. Xiao Cheng, Luo Shiliu and others did not enter the situation, and they did not have to come out soon and have to recuperate for more than a month before heading south.

 After going south, they didn’t encounter the Immortals because they had no money and had to find a job first to earn enough money for food and clothing.

 You can only consider making big money after having enough food and clothing.

 In this life, when Xiao Cheng, Luo Shiliu and others left the province and went south ahead of schedule, the people and things they encountered would change.

Bai Lu can't guarantee that they won't encounter Immortal Tiao. A few more reminders, and there will be nothing wrong.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Cheng leaned on the bow railing, and in his left ear was the sound of the rolling water of the Taotao River.

 The right ear is the girl's melodious and sweet voice.

The ship walked for a long time, but not too long, because her voice stopped and she waited quietly for his answer.

 He agreed: "Okay."

Bai Lu talked for a long time before she remembered one thing. Xiao Cheng had not gone to other provinces yet and was still on the boat.

 The shipping ships of this era were not equipped with wireless phones and satellite phones. How could he make a call?

 Bai Lu's curiosity is usually put into action: "What did you use to make the call?"

 The answer on the other end of the phone was: "Big Brother."

　　Well...it really suits the status of the eldest brother.

 The big brother is the big brother.

 Incredibly expensive Big Brother.

 Xiao Cheng also had one before, and it was equipped by the big boss. It is estimated that after he quit, he wanted to be completely clean, so he took nothing with him and had nothing to do with him.

If Bai Lu guessed correctly, the mobile phone Xiao Cheng is using now should be Jiang Zhengang's.

 His curiosity has been dispelled, and all the instructions that need to be given have been given, Bai Lu was speechless for a moment.

 The other end of the phone seemed to have nothing to say.

 A long period of silence.

 Finally, it was he who spoke first: "Are you asleep?"

"No."

Bai Lu explained: "The telephone is installed in the main house."

So there was no possibility of falling asleep. Besides, there was a little bald man sitting upright in front of the Eight Immortals table with a look of resentment on his face and eyes full of resentment staring at her.

Bai Lu finally realized that she was talking too much. She raised her hand and raised the microphone, asking the little bald head if she wanted to listen.

But he was ruthlessly rejected by the little bald man.

Suddenly a man's voice sounded on the phone receiver: "You can pretend to be wherever you like."

 Xiao Wei was hit again.

Hands holding his chin, not wanting to speak.

Bai Lu pulled the phone cord over, touched the little bald head comfortingly, and said to the phone: "Are you ready to go to bed? Xiaowei and I haven't gone to bed yet."

"Didn't sleep." Xiao Cheng glanced at the moon in the sky. At this time, she was already reading in bed.

 “You go to bed first.”

Bai Lu said yes and made a small request in a brisk tone: "Then can you say good night to us first?"

 After saying that, he put the receiver to Xiao Wei's ear.

Xiao Wei's big, resentful eyes were stunned, and after fussing with his left and right hands for a long time, he pushed the phone back in a panic.

Bai Lu directly pressed the hands-free button.
