The thirty-minute meeting ended quickly. Chen Jiajun repeatedly stated that he did not need Min Hui's "help". The last sentence was: "The day I come out, don't come here."

"But"

"Leave your phone number, I will come to you if you really need anything."

Min Hui quickly wrote him her business card, mobile phone number, WeChat ID, and QQ number.

"Then...how can I contact you?" Min Hui asked.

"You don't need to contact me. If I don't come to contact you, you don't need to contact me."

"One line?"

"Yes. One line."

"Okay." Min Hui wanted to explain something, but when the time came, the phone was disconnected, and she watched Chen Jiajun leave the interview room.

When she got home, Min Hui acted as if she had been beaten. She spent a week renting two door-to-door small apartments in Mingsen Community near Qingteng Garden: one bedroom and one living room, the area is small, and the decoration is not as advanced as Qingteng Garden, but the design of the room is very good. Modern sense: simple, clean, smooth and bright, with white windows and walls, dark gray floors, large kitchens and bathrooms, well-equipped and practical, with curves in every corner, suitable for living at home, far from kindergartens and hospitals are also close. Min Hui saw it right away, one lived by herself and the other gave Jiajun. After paying one year's rent in advance, she immediately moved there.

Qingteng Garden's apartment is two bedrooms and one living room. When Zhou Ruji moved out, he didn't bring a piece of furniture, so there was an extra set of things in the bedroom, which happened to be placed in Chen Jiajun's apartment. Min Hui went to buy a full set of curtains, sofas, carpets, color TVs, dining tables, washing machines, refrigerators, and other household items. She decorated the house and polished the pots and pans to welcome Jiajun's return.

Although Chen Jiajun repeatedly said that she did not need her help, Min Hui felt that Jiajun did not know what kind of difficulties a young man who had just released from prison would face in society, not to mention that he had no relatives. Before he was imprisoned, he didn't have his own house and lived in the dormitory provided by the unit, so she had to take care of this matter, at least after watching him make a smooth transition and take up a job smoothly before letting go.

The day after the prison visit, Min Hui called Xiao Wan from Xunqin.com, wanting to know more about the reason why Chen Jiajun was in prison.

"I don't know very well," Xiao Wan said. "According to the information I have seen here, he was hired by an entertainment reporter as a bodyguard three years ago, and he has been doing a good job. That entertainment reporter belongs to the paparazzi type. With several public accounts, I often post some black material about famous film and television stars, so I offended a lot of people, including a rising star. A few photos caused his popularity to plummet overnight. I didn't know if it was the star or his company, or some other stakeholder, so I found some people in the underworld to deal with him. This entertainment record is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and when I heard the wind, I immediately increased the number of bodyguards. Once, Yuji was blocked by gangsters in the underworld, and the two sides fought fiercely. This Chen Jiajun was also very powerful. At the risk of his life, Yuji was dragged out of the stick. He was only slightly injured, and he also took one of them. People were beaten to the hospital and lay there for months..."

"Isn't this just self-defense, why should I go to jail?" Min Hui asked.

"Chen Jiajun's hand was too heavy, and people grabbed the handle. Besides, there was no surveillance at the time. Both sides said that the other side moved first, and the number of people on both sides was the same, so it was handled as 'fight and fight'. Fines are fined, and people like Chen Jiajun who hurt others and are hospitalized will be sentenced." Xiao Wan said.

"Who is this entertainment reporter?"

"Qian Zhi, have you heard of it?"

Min Hui shook her head blankly: "No."

"Baidu, it's quite famous, even I know it."

After hanging up, Min Hui picked up the mobile phone Baidu "Qian Zhi". Sure enough, she is a well-known entertainment reporter. She has done well in the new media. She leads a team of more than 100 people and runs several big V and official accounts. , has some influence on the Internet.

Qian Zhi was very busy. Min Hui contacted him from time to time. After waiting for two weeks, he said that he was free. The meeting place was in Chaoyang District, Beijing. Min Hui had product debugging the next day, so he had to fly to see him. .

"What do you want to know about Chen Jiajun?" Qian Zhi asked straight to the point, sitting in the office full of artworks. He looked in his early forties, with a medium build, a thin face, a beard, and a shrewd look.

The assistant said he could only interview for fifteen minutes.

"He will be released from prison in a month, you know that?" Min Hui said politely, "His sister asked me to come to you."

"I know. He's been sentenced to a year, and he's almost here." Qian Zhi glanced at her and set his eyes on her face, "However, I didn't hear that he had a sister. He said he was the eldest son in the family. "

"I was adopted, and I only found out about my life experience recently."

"Oh." He drank his coffee slowly.

"I heard that he has worked under you for two years, mainly engaged in security work, and has been following you all the time. You should know him better. Do you know what he thinks about his future career plan?"

"Wouldn't it be better for you to ask him directly?" Qian Zhi asked back.

"I'm not familiar with him, and he doesn't want to tell me many things." Min Hui sighed.

"Well," Qian Zhi said carefully, "he is still very motivated. Back then, because he knew martial arts and fought fiercely, there were quite a few people looking for him as a bodyguard. I was also introduced to him, and he followed me. Over the years, he has solved a lot of troubles for me. He is very interested in the profession of reporters and likes photography. He saved money to buy a DSLR, and just hangs out with photographers when he has nothing to do. Well, he is not very obedient, but he is loyal. , charge ahead at critical moments. Sometimes I don't have enough manpower, so I also send him to stand up, squat down and follow and shoot or something. This kid knows a little bit and learns very quickly. Once told me that he wanted to switch to our industry, Ask if it's possible. I said everything is possible. You can learn while you work here. Post a lot of papers. If the response is good, you will naturally assign tasks to you. If you do more, you will be entertained. We are a team work, not a business organization. So many rules and regulations. He has listened to this, and I have sent a few manuscripts here and received a few manuscript fees. "

Probably in a hurry, he said while looking at his watch, the coffee in the cup has been drained.

"Then after he is released from prison - can he continue to do it with you?" Min Hui finally said what she wanted to say.

"A bodyguard?" He nodded cheerfully, "Of course."

"I mean entertainment."

"Well," Qian Zhi shook his head, "he was in prison after all..."

"Yes, but he is in jail for you."

"You can't say that. Being a bodyguard has risks, and I pay him a good salary, but it's not my fault that he misses and hurts people. He should know what to do, right?" Qian Zhi spread his hands, "I want to. It's weird, it's just that he's not good at learning."

"He saved your life and went to jail for this—" Min Hui sneered for a while, "In the end, he was said to be poor in academics? Mr. Qian, you are really an interesting person."

Qian Zhi was silent for a while, and looked at her indifferently: "You didn't come here to blackmail, right? Don't bother, I don't want to do this."

"Did you not visit him during the year he was in prison?"

"No. There's no need for that." He said abruptly, "What do you want, tell me. Don't go around in circles!"

"You ask him to come back to be an entertainment reporter. I will pay the salary for the first three years, and treat him as an intern reporter. After three years, it's up to you."

"Three years' salary?" Qian Zhi smiled, as if this was a fantastic talk, "His level is still far from his job, isn't he!"

"Mr. Qian, he saved your life."

"Three years of salary, plus 50,000 training fees, you can ask him to come, just treat him as a favor." Qian Zhi put the coffee cup on the table, "If he hadn't rescued me, I would never have Doing such a stupid thing. You know, he only has a junior high school degree."

"The news you are responsible for, besides entertainment gossip, what else is there?"

"Social news, fashion, people, opinions..."

"Three years' salary and 50,000 training fees, I can pay," Min Hui immediately changed her mind, "but you have to let him go to the social news page."

"Why? What's wrong with the entertainment version?"

"I'm afraid that he will be beaten just like you in the future."

Qian Zhi snorted and reached out with a wry smile: "Deal."

"Deal." Min Hui shook his hand firmly, "Lastly, don't tell him that I paid the money."

"Understand."

After everything was arranged, Min Hui devoted all her energy to the debugging of the new product, and the time flew by. In the blink of an eye, the day when Chen Jiajun was released from prison, Min Huisheng was afraid that he would not be able to wait for him, so he got up early, booked a taxi and waited outside the gate of the prison before eight o'clock.

At nine o'clock, a black Toyota off-road vehicle came, probably to pick up people, and a driver walked out from the inside, with a face full of flesh, standing by the door smoking a cigarette. Wearing a wide silver lace on his wrist, he looked around while smoking. Seeing Min Hui, her eyes flicked to and fro on her chest, and she whistled.

At this time, Min Hui didn't want to provoke right and wrong, not to mention the bad ones. She took out her mobile phone and went to the work group to return a few WeChat messages attentively. When I looked up again, I didn't know when a few young people got out of the Toyota car, sitting or not, standing or standing, talking loudly and shoving each other. Immediately afterwards, there was a cough in the car, and a tall man came out, wearing a light blue casual suit and a tie. A young man in white next to him saw him coming out, and immediately handed him a cigarette and lit it for him.

The sun was dazzling, and the tall man took out a pair of toad glasses and put them on. He has a very strange hairstyle, shoveled on both sides, the hair on the top of his head sticks out, and he wears a golden tie with the thickness of a finger on his chest, like a gang boss.

The distance between them and Min Hui was a little far, and the voices of their voices could not be heard clearly.

It seemed that someone from the gang came to pick up the elder brother, Min Hui guessed.

After waiting for another half an hour, Min Hui continued to answer questions in the work group. When she raised her head again, she inadvertently counted the number of people who came out of the Toyota, including the driver.

Bai'an also had one of this kind of car, so she remembered clearly that there were a total of eight seats in the car. It seems that the eldest brother must have a lot of status. When he was released from prison, he needed so many people to greet him.

At this moment, the iron door opened with a creak, and Chen Jiajun walked out with a plastic bag. Almost at the same time, everyone raised their heads together, and all sixteen eyes stared at him.

Chen Jiajun couldn't help but stop and looked at everyone in confusion.

"Jiajun!" Min Hui called out softly, and hurried up to meet you, "I'll pick you up."

Before she could reach Chen Jiajun, she was suddenly pushed by the man with the golden chain. Min Hui was unable to stand firm, staggered and almost fell. Chen Jiajun grabbed her and pulled her behind him.

"Chen Jiajun." The man with a golden chain suddenly took off his sunglasses and looked at him provocatively.

"Brother Shao."

"You went to jail before we finished the last fight."

"Oh."

"How about, make an appointment to make up the rest? Just today?" Brother Shao said.

"Is it here?" Chen Jiajun pointed to the camera on the door, "Is it not convenient?"

Min Hui looked at Chen Jiajun, and then at Brother Shao, only then did she understand that the gangsters who got off the Toyota car were not here to pick up people, but to beat them up.

"My brother's legs were broken by you, and I'm still limping when I walk." Brother Shao spat out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, "Chen Jiajun, can't we just let it go?"

"I'm already in jail, what do you want?"

"Either you ask me to discount one of your legs, or pay me 200,000 yuan for medical expenses."

"What if you don't give both?"

"Then I'm sorry, you'll have a bad time from now on."

"If I don't have a good life, you don't have a good life either." Chen Jiajun sneered with his arms crossed, "I can discount your brother's legs, and I can discount yours."

"But you are only one person." Brother Shao tilted his face and poked Chen Jiajun's chest with his fingers, "Today, we will settle this matter."

"Big brother, don't mess around! I'll call the police!" Min Hui shouted, "Jiajun! Ignore him, let's get in the car and go home." After that, he took Jiajun's hand and got into the taxi .

The taxi driver saw that the situation was wrong, and when he saw the two of them were seated, he immediately turned around and drove towards Mingsen Community.

Looking through the car mirror, Min Hui saw Toyota Off-Road following closely, trailing all the way.

"Did I tell you not to come pick me up?" Chen Jiajun frowned, "You just don't listen."

"It's far from the city, I'm afraid you can't get a rental."

"I'll figure it out myself."

"You can't help it! Fortunately, I'm here, otherwise you'll be cut off by those guys. Besides—"

Chen Jiajun suddenly interrupted her and said to the driver, "Master, please park your car at the train station in front. I'll get off first. Then I'll take her home."

"Why?" Min Hui asked.

"You can't let them know your address, they will come to you." Chen Jiajun said.

"What about you?"

"I eat and sleep at the train station. There are police patrols there, and they dare not do anything to me."

"That can't be so wasteful!"

"It's just such a waste of time. I don't have a job. I have time."

The train station was right in front. As soon as the driver stopped, Min Hui came down with Chen Jiajun.

"Why do you have to follow me?" Chen Jiajun stopped her, "I will handle my affairs myself, please go home and leave me alone, okay?"

"No." Min Hui pulled his arm tightly, "You are in personal danger now, I have to follow you."

"Why are you following me? Can you fight for me?" Chen Jiajun roared impatiently, throwing her hand away, "Don't pester me? Do I know you? Are you bothered, you woman? !"

"You finally came out, I can't let you lose your arms or legs!" Min Hui dragged him but didn't let go.

"Fuck—"

The two were arguing happily, and when they turned around, the seven thugs followed them within a distance of less than three meters.

Chen Jiajun turned around and slowly rolled up his sleeves.

Min Hui looked at him nervously and asked, "Chen Jiajun, what do you want?"

"Prepare to fight."

"Wait!" Min Hui yelled, "Let me negotiate with them. You stand here, I'll come when I go."

"Negotiation? This isn't business. They are a bunch of scoundrels, hooligans! They won't negotiate with you."

"Let me try, if it doesn't work, try again, okay?"

"Okay, go try it."

Min Hui let go of Chen Jiajun, walked quickly to Brother Shao, took out her phone, and whispered, "200,000? If I pay you 200,000, you will never come to us again, right?"

Brother Shao nodded with a smile but not a smile: "Yes."

"Come on, I'll transfer it to you. Alipay."

Brother Shao was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected that she would "cooperate" like this.

Because of the large amount of money, Min Hui worked for a long time and finally transferred it out smoothly.

"received?"

"I got it." Brother Shao nodded.

"Can you guys disappear?"

"We'll be gone right now."

Brother Shao did what he said, took the six people back to Toyota, and disappeared into a sea of ​​cars.

Min Hui returned to Chen Jiajun, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "The problem is solved, let's go."

"How to solve it?"

"I paid them two hundred thousand."

"What?" Chen Jiajun was stunned, "200,000? How did you pay?"

"Mobile phone transfer."

"You are stupid! Why give them 200,000! I've been in prison for a year, and I haven't asked him for 200,000!"

"Breaking money and avoiding disaster, do you understand?"

"You're not short of money, are you?"

"200,000 to buy your leg, I think it's worth it."

"Neuropathy!"

"What did you say?"

"You're a lunatic!"

"Come home with me." Min Hui took his arm and smiled happily, "I have an apartment that is just right for you to live in."

"Are you married?" he asked suddenly.

"Current status: divorced. By the way, you are an uncle. You have a nephew named Su Quan, who is three years old this year."
