Chapter 6 Troubles Come
Chen Liuhe, being overwhelmed by indignation, did not realize that point. He just let loose a torrent of abuse about these interviewers who were as blind as bats. He still held that with his temperament and talent, working as a small manager or even as a general manager is stifling real talents to some extent.
Looking up at the setting sun gradually goes down to the west, Chen Liuhe touched his unshaven chin. He gave a very upset face which made him look like having experienced a lot. This melancholy characteristic indeed attracted some girls under eighteen years old.
He dropped his cigarette butt, ran over it with his liberation shoes, which cost him 10 yuan. He flicked his hair, which was less than an inch, and gave the real estate company a
contemptuous look. Then he pedaled toward the Hangzhou University.
When Chen Liuhe returned to the residence with Shen Qingwu, having not entered the door, he saw a red BMW parked outside the gate, beside which a tall and graceful woman was standing.
Seeing the woman, Chen Liuhe slightly wrinkled his brow. Shen Qingwu who was good at observation asked with a soft voice, " Brother, do you know her?"
"Not really", Chen Liuhe said. He parked the tricycle outside the gate and carefully lift Shen Qingwu down from the tricycle at first rather than cared about the woman who looked happy to find him. Then Chen Liuhe said to this eagerly woman, "What's up."
"I ask you for help" Qin Ruohan answered hurriedly.
Chen Liuhe looked her up and down with his eyes and said, " Go back to where you come from quickly ! And I am busy in cooking!"
"You don't even know what's going on, and you're gonna say no?" Qin Ruohan longed her face and said.
"Oh, this is your own business. I don't have time to get into your big trouble." Chen Liuhe waved his hand and held the tricycle into the courtyard without too much patient to her.
Qin Ruohan stared at Chen Liuhe and her face became pale. Biting her lower lip with her silver teeth , Qin Ruohan looked helpless and despair with her misty eyes.
Shen Qingwu calmly gave a glace at Qin Ruohan. It was hard to read something from her poker face. However, at the moment, Qin Ruohan's expression made her sigh in her heart, which seemed to evoke the resonance and the memories in her heart.
Such look seemed to have appeared in her face a year ago . At that time her grandpa died, her older brother was sent into prison, Beijing was in a storm and she had to face the cold shoulder, sarcasm and even revenge only by herself.
At that time, she maybe as helpless and desolate as the woman in front of her.
"Are you in big troubles?" Shen Qingwu asked her out of instinct. Although Shen Qingwu was young, she already was not an ignorant girl any more. Being influenced by Beijing for so many years, she was changed by what she constantly sees and hears and finally cultivated her mature mind.
What's more, she was a talented woman with an extremely high IQ. What she has experienced in the past 20 years can not only be summed up as misery or twists and turns, they can be easily written as a book.
She would not take pity on others, but the woman in front of her who could get more than 90 points from her brother made her feel pity.
Hearing Shen Qingwu's words, Qin Ruohan nodded with tears in her eyes. She really was in a big trouble, and it was a huge one. So she had to find Chen Liuhe even she must come to his house. From the moment when she appeared here, it showed that she has no choice and all she could do is making every possible effort which including taking Chen Liuhe as a life-saving straw.
Shen Qingwu nodded and manipulated her wheelchair into the yard without saying a word. When Qin Ruohan became upset, Shen Qingwu's voice was heard, "The gate is unlocked, come in if you want".
Having just parked the tricycle, when Chen Liuhe was preparing to wash vegetables, he heard Shen Qingwu's voice. He smiled and said " What? Do you feel pity for her?"
"No, I just think that she looks like what I was a year ago." Shen Qingwu's plain words made Chen Liuhe take a pause, cold emerged in his eyes for a moment but soon disappeared. He just smiled and nodded without saying anything, then he took vegetables to the pool and began to wash them.
Shen Qingwu seemed to know what Chen Liuhe was thinking about, so she came to Chen Liuhe and gently dragged thegarment of him. She said in a small voice, " Brother, it is not as hard as you think. I know that our Shen family are strong, we have the most straight back in the world!" Chen Liuhe grinned without sour or bitterness.
"Take a seat", Shen Qingwu pointed to a small bench and said to the Qin Ruohan who came in by following them.
Chen Liuhe opened his mouth at first before Qin Ruohan started her speaking, "Since you can come to my house to wait for me, it proved that you are in a big trouble and you have no better choices now, otherwise you would not ask an unfamiliar man like me for help."
Chen Liuhe said with understatement while washing vegetables, "Things like that are always very difficult and even life-risking", Chen Liuhe took a pause and said, "To be honest, we have no relationships and I have no reason to help you. Your safety has no business with me, so why should I help you?"
Qin Ruohan took a deep breath and looked at Chen Liuhe's lazy face which seemed to always be like that and said "Sorry, I have no choice, I thought all the way I could think of, but finally my intuition tells me that only you can help me."
Chen Liuhe hissed "Intuition? How much does that thing worth? And what makes you think I can help you? Instead of dragging me to die with you?"
Qin Ruohan's body shook with fear and she said "I don't know... All I know is that you're definitely not a normal person."
Chen Liuhe smiled, he did not refute these words and said " Tell me about your story at first, and then I can see if I can help."
Hearing his speech, Qin Ruohan's face was lighten up. She tried to overcome her misty eyes and sort out her mind. Then she said " You saw it last night that someone wants to make advances to me. In order to achieve this goal, he even hire a sniper. Just as you guess, they want to threaten me by this big way rather than kill me.
To trace the origin of the trouble, it started from my father. Although my family was not that rich, it was more or less a well-off family in Hangzhou. Last year, my father opened an
entertainment club, whose business is very good. But soon, it was targeted by the black forces, who threatened my father to give 50 percent of the shares of the club."
Speaking of this, Qin Ruohan showed her grief in her face. "My father put all his energy and financial resources on that club, so he definitely would not give it in vain, nor give in to those evil forces. However, my father died in a car accident a few days later, and I took over the club."
Qin's cheeks were wet with tears, but she lifted her face unconsciously as if to keep the tears from flowing down. She compressed her lips firmly to keep herself from sobbing.
Chen Liuhe added, "And then those who have been coveting by your club for a long time start attacking you?" For such things, Chen Liuhe was not much shocked because he learned from his experience that there is darkness in every corner of the world. It was not too wired to hear such things.
But he did feel pity on the experiences of the woman. Although being rich, she had gone through such a mess and even had lost her whole family.
After a pause, Chen Liuhe said, "It's all right. Is not the trouble pass away if you give them 50 percent of the shares? After all, you can make money all the time in your life, but it is over if you die."
Qin Ruohan became excited after hearing this speech. She said in a firm voice "That is impossible! My father was murdered by those people for this club. Since the club was took over by me, I would not throw the bone to those executioners. If not, was not my father's insistence all in vain? Was not my father's death in vain?"
Chen Liuhe shook his head, "It is just a stalling tactic, understand?"
"I thought about what you said, but it didn't work. Seeing me as a helpless woman, they want to buy the whole club for two million dollars instead of fifty percent shares", Qin Ruohan said.
"Oh, those people are really greedy. They are such black-hearted varmints." Chen Liuhe sneered, took a pause and asked, "So what you want me to do to help you?"
"I'm going to keep the club and fight against those people." Qin Ruohan's eyes flashed a inexplicable look, Chen Liuhe knew that is bitterness and hatred.
"Last night, they gave me an ultimatum. They said if I didn't let them have the club in three days, I should prepare a coffin for myself to meet my father in the haven", Qin Ruohan said. "In the future," she took a deep breath and added, "They are outlaws. Daring to say such things, they definitely would do them."
Qin Ruohan looked at Chen Liuhe directly, "As long as you help me, I won't let you suffer losses. I have investigated both of you and knew that you is bound by a common destiny with your sister. Your sister is the student of the Hangzhou University but your live is not good because your life only relies on you as a recyclers. And your sister is in poor health, so she need to be nursed by traditional Chinese medicine, whose charge is a huge burden for you.
As long as you help me overcome this difficulty and keep the club, I can solve all of these problems for you." Qin Ruohan said with her scorching eyes.
Chen Liuhe took one look at Qin Ruohan and said with a light smile, "your preparation is quite sufficient, and your words about our present predicament are right". Chen Liuhe did not feel surprised for Qin Ruohan being able to find these, if not, then the woman is too incompetent.
Touching the scum of the chin subconsciously, Chen Liuhe looked at the poker face of Shen Qingwu without being known and gently said, "What do you think about that, my little sister?"
Qin Ruohan's tragic fate did not cause too much waves in shen Qingwu's face, she calmly looked at Chen Liuhe and said, " What about you?"
