Chapter 1343: The Otherworld (58)
"Let's go eat first. Pang Xiaonan got up and walked towards the cafeteria, after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, it was better to find a quiet place, so he changed direction and walked towards Xihu Tower.
Xiong Junjun followed obediently, like a maid following her master.
Pang Xiaonan led Xiong Junjun to the second floor of the West Lake Building, then took her to sit at a table by the window, and said to her, "You sit here for a while, I'll go get some food." ”
After a while, Pang Xiaonan walked in front of Xiong Junjun with two large plates of food, put them on the table, and sat down opposite Xiong Junjun, saying, "I don't know what you like to eat, just hit it, and you will eat it." ”
Xiong Junjun looked at the abundant food in front of her, and couldn't help but salivate, she came from her hometown, she had never eaten a good meal, it was all brought to her by the Hungry Wolf Gang from outside, it was either instant noodles or fast food, she was about to vomit when she ate, but she couldn't eat it, and she was hungry in her stomach.
"Eat. Pang Xiaonan saw Xiong Junjun sitting there motionless, and hurriedly greeted.
Xiong Junjun was no longer polite, grabbed those snacks with his right hand and stuffed them into his mouth. Pang Xiaonan was afraid that she would choke, so he put a cup of herbal tea in front of her and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”
Xiong Junjun glanced at Pang Xiaonan gratefully, ate a mouthful of food, drank a sip of herbal tea, and soon, he ate more than half of the food in front of him.
Seeing Pang Xiaonan sitting on the side and not moving, Xiong Junjun gradually stopped the rhythm of eating seas, and looked at Pang Xiaonan embarrassedly, but Pang Xiaonan looked out of the window at the moment, the West Lake outside the window was particularly beautiful under the sunset, and it was more attractive than the beauty in front of him.
Pang Xiaonan turned his head and saw Xiong Junjun staring at him stunned, and then looked at the food on the plate, and there was some leftover, so he took a chicken leg and nibbled on it, and beckoned Xiong Junjun and said, "Why are you stunned, keep eating, it's shameful to waste food, eat all this." Pang Xiaonan ate a little too much at noon, and he wasn't hungry yet, so he didn't do much.
Hearing Pang Xiaonan's call, Xiong Junjun didn't sit there anymore, and continued to reach out and eat, finally, the two of them ate two large plates of food cleanly, however, Pang Xiaonan really didn't eat much, Xiong Junjun exerted his greatest strength alone, his stomach was already slightly swollen, and he had a full burp.
Xiong Junjun's face turned red, but Pang Xiaonan didn't laugh at her, but asked her, "How is it? Have you eaten enough? Do you want to order more?"
Xiong Junjun hurriedly shook his head, like a rattle, and said in a panic: "I'm full, I can't eat." ”
Pang Xiaonan leaned back into the chair, looked at the ceiling, looked at it for a few seconds, straightened up again, looked at Xiong Junjun, and asked, "Do you have any plans?"
Xiong Junjun glanced at Pang Xiaonan shyly, bowed her head and said nothing, she had just escaped from the wolf's den, and she didn't think about what to do next.
Pang Xiaonan looked at Xiong Junjun silently, knowing that it was useless to ask, what could the girl who had lost her footing do. So he changed his question: "Do you have any relatives in Huahai City?"
Xiong Junjun shook his head and said, "My family is in the mountains of Northwest Prefecture, and I don't have any relatives in the city, let alone Huahai City. ”
Pang Xiaonan asked again: "Your stepfather sold you, does your mother care about you?"
Xiong Junjun had tears in her eyes and said, "My mother is very good to me, but my stepfather often beats and scolds her, saying that she brought a drag oil bottle, and I was secretly sold by my stepfather, and my mother doesn't know." But what's the use of knowing? If I go back, sooner or later my stepfather will sell me. ”
Pang Xiaonan thought for a while, wiped his eyes with his hands and said, "Look, you have no relatives in Huahai City, and you can't go back, it's not safe to leave you outside, or so, I'll open a hotel for you today, you stay for one night, and we'll figure out a way tomorrow, okay?"
Xiong Junjun stared at Pang Xiaonan vigilantly, Pang Xiaonan always felt that something was wrong, and suddenly he thought of the reason, his face couldn't help but be full of black lines, and quickly explained: "I mean, you live in a hotel alone, I'll go home, and I'll pick you up tomorrow." Don't worry, I'm a student at this school, and I'm only a year or two older than you, so I have no ill will. ”
Xiong Junjun put down a heart that she was carrying, when Pang Xiaonan proposed to open the room, she thought that she had just come out of the wolf's den and was about to enter the tiger's mouth, it turned out that she was too careful, in fact, she should have seen from the beginning that if Pang Xiaonan had beaten her idea, he would not have brought her to school.
"I'm sorry, I didn't doubt you," Xiong Junjun explained with a red face, "It's just that I'm too scared these days to take anyone lightly...... ...... want to be " Xiong Junjun wanted to speak and stopped, her face turned even redder, and finally she said it ruthlessly, "One of them said that they wanted to defile me, but the other person stopped him, saying that if he was defiled, it would be worthless, and he would sell my first time to the big boss, I was so afraid, I was really afraid of ......"
Speaking of the back, Xiong Junjun couldn't cry, and vented all the grievances of these days, which attracted the sideways eyes of the people who were dining on the side, Pang Xiaonan's face turned green, and he quickly stopped Xiong Junjun and said: "Don't cry, okay, okay, don't cry, let's go downstairs, go, go downstairs, go out." ”
If Xiong Junjun is allowed to cry again, others will think that Pang Xiaonan, the scum, has failed a female college student like a flower.
Pang Xiaonan led the way in front, Xiong Junjun followed silently, the moon came out, the sun had not sunk into the horizon, the sun and the moon reflected each other, setting off the night sky brilliantly, and the nocturnal animals also came out to move, frogs began to sing, insects began to whisper, fish slapped the water, playing a beautiful symphony.
The figures of Pang Xiaonan and Xiong Junjun suddenly elongated, suddenly shortened, sometimes intersected, sometimes separated, and walked farther and farther in the sunset, until they stopped at the shepherd's side.
The two got into the car, Pang Xiaonan drove Xiong Junjun to a relatively elegant hotel, and when he arrived at the front desk, he needed to register his ID card, Pang Xiaonan looked at Xiong Junjun, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your ID card." ”
Xiong Junjun shook his head and said, "My ID card was confiscated by the Hungry Wolf Gang. ”
Pang Xiaonan said helplessly to the front desk: "Is my ID card okay?"
A poker face at the front desk said, "No, whoever lives will register their ID card." ”
Pang Xiaonan sighed, turned around and pulled Xiong Junjun out of the hotel, stood on the side of the road and said to him: "You, you can't go anywhere without an ID card, forget it, come home with me." Don't think about it, I can't help it, why don't you spend the night in the park or somewhere else?"
Xiong Junjun didn't hesitate this time, and said loudly: "I'll go home with you." ”
Pang Xiaonan looked at Xiong Junjun meaningfully, this girl is smart, and waved her hand: "Go, get in the car, and go home with me." ”
On the way, Pang Xiaonan sighed with emotion, he originally went to the martial arts club to contribute to the cause of education, but he met Cheng Cheng halfway and made a contribution to the entertainment industry. Pang Xiaonan drove the car into the Hailong community, and as soon as he parked the car, he received a call from Brother Monkey. The last time the two competed in the martial arts club, Pang Xiaonan lied to Brother Monkey for 60,000 yuan, and the two left each other's phone calls.
"Hey, Brother Monkey, I haven't seen you for a long time, what's the matter, are you going to send me money again?" Pang Xiaonan didn't save face for Brother Monkey at the beginning, and he was quite disdainful of the Hungry Wolf Gang's abduction and trafficking in human beings.
"Pang Xiaonan, why do you always trouble my Hungry Wolf Gang? Are you really bullied by our Hungry Wolf Gang?" Brother Monkey's tone on the phone was very stern, he had already seen Pang Xiaonan unpleasant, if it wasn't for Angela Nana to stop him, he would have arranged for the killer to take Pang Xiaonan's life.
"I said Brother Monkey, it's not that I look down on you hungry wolf gangs, it's that you don't do good things yourself, the whole world is not used to seeing you, you don't do good business, why do you want to abduct and sell people? Let me tell you, just this one, you are breaking the law, and you will have to go to prison!" Pang Xiaonan has always been disdainful of the underworld forces, especially such obscene deeds, which made him even more indignant.
"Have you figured it out? Just say that we are trafficking in human beings?" Brother Monkey was full of disdain on the phone, "You judge by listening to the little girl's words, are you fascinated by her?"
"Oh?" Pang Xiaonan squinted his eyes and looked at Xiong Junjun beside him, but didn't find anything unusual about her, "Okay, let's face to face, okay?" Pang Xiaonan got out of the car, closed the door, and walked away from the car to make sure Xiong Junjun couldn't hear it, and then lowered his voice and said, "In this way, you make an appointment with a location, okay, I'll come right away." ”
Pang Xiaonan led Xiong Junjun into the house, Xiong Junjun was obviously surprised, she didn't expect Pang Xiaonan to live in such a luxurious place, she was very cramped, Pang Xiaonan let her sit on the sofa, and then said to her: "You watch TV for a while, I have something to do when I go out, and I'll be back soon." ”
"You'll be back, right?" asked Xiong Junjun shyly, she was a little scared to be alone in such a big place.
Pang Xiaonan comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be back," and then he pointed to the snacks on the coffee table and said, "There are snacks there, you can watch while eating, you can boil water in the kitchen, you can make tea when you are thirsty, I'll go first." ”
After speaking, Pang Xiaonan went out and drove towards the place agreed by Brother Monkey.
The place where Brother Monkey made an appointment was in a café at the east gate of Dongli Military Academy, Pang Xiaonan found a place with a familiar car, got out of the car, and entered the café.
Brother Monkey had already sat at a small square table by the door, leaning on the upholstered sofa, and when he saw Pang Xiaonan coming in, he immediately straightened up, waved his hand at Pang Xiaonan, and then looked at Pang Xiaonan with a gloomy face and walked over until Pang Xiaonan sat down.
Pang Xiaonan looked around, and didn't find anyone from the Hungry Wolf Gang, it should be someone he knew without the Hungry Wolf Gang, but he also confirmed that there was no danger, no matter how strong the Hungry Wolf Gang was, he didn't dare to make trouble in such a lively place, so he sat opposite Brother Monkey with a big grin.
The corners of Pang Xiaonan's mouth rose and gave Brother Monkey a smile, "Don't come to harm, Brother Monkey?"
Brother Monkey snorted coldly and said, "I'm okay, but you beat my brother badly enough, are you on the same page as our hungry wolf gang?" Don't rely on the fact that you are Peng Yuyan's person, and you can do whatever you want in our sphere of influence, let me tell you, the rabbit is in a hurry and there is time to bite." ”
Pang Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Peng Yuyan's person, when did I become Peng Yuyan's person? We are just good friends, are you mistaken?" Pang Xiaonan has always been not interested in relying on various forces, and men should be self-reliant, so he is very disgusted with standing in line, and he doesn't like others to treat him as a person on either side.
"I don't care what your relationship is, anyway," Brother Monkey said with a sip of coffee, "Don't challenge my bottom line, I won't let you go all the time." "Brother Monkey is drinking milk coffee, and his lips are stained with white milk, which is very funny.
"So, have you been letting me?" Pang Xiaonan smiled, "Okay, if you are interested in us one day, let's learn again, this time we will be open and honest, play the game directly, place bets, I will accept any big bet!" Pang Xiaonan knows Brother Monkey's strength well, and his own skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently, I believe that Brother Monkey is not his opponent.
"Hmph, don't think you're invincible in the world!" Brother Monkey was a little irritated by Pang Xiaonan, but he knew that he was not Pang Xiaonan's opponent, so he could only speak quickly, "To get down to business, you kidnapped my people, how can we calculate this account?"
Pang Xiaonan looked left and right, and complained to Brother Monkey: "I said Brother Monkey, you are also a big brother, you let me come here to talk about things, just order a cup of coffee for yourself? You are too stingy, where do you have the demeanor to be a big brother?"
Brother Monkey's face was blue, and he shouted helplessly towards the bar: "Have a cup of coffee, don't add sugar!"
Immediately, a waiter came over and asked Brother Monkey, "Sir, what type of coffee do you want?"
Brother Monkey said angrily: "The cheapest coffee will do." ”
Pang Xiaonan snorted and said to the waiter, "Don't listen to him, come with me a glass of the same as his." ”
The waiter looked at Pang Xiaonan, then at Brother Monkey, and when he saw that Brother Monkey was silent, he said "Okay" and walked away.
Pang Xiaonan watched the waiter walk away, turned his head and said to Brother Monkey: "You settle accounts with me?" Please, I am righteous and brave, you rob the people's girls in broad daylight, which outstanding citizen will stand by and watch? Besides, it was your people who did it first, I was just in legitimate defense, and you don't understand legitimate defense, just to protect yourself from being hurt by the underworld, you started a little heavier, that is, a little heavier, and you can't settle accounts with me!"
Brother Monkey slammed his fist on the table, the shocked coffee cup shook from side to side, and the spilled coffee was everywhere on the table, he leaned forward and said viciously: "You say black is black, and white is white?" I told you, this is our company's internal affairs, you are a dog and a mouse meddling!"
After speaking, Brother Monkey took out a stack of papers from the briefcase behind him and threw it in front of Pang Xiaonan, pointed to the thick stack of documents and said, "Take a good look, high-achieving students, who robbed the people's daughter!"
Pang Xiaonan curiously took the stack of paper, only to see that there were four big words "labor contract" written on the cover. Pang Xiaonan looked at Brother Monkey in surprise, then at the contract, then at Brother Monkey, and then at the contract, and after confirming that this was indeed the document thrown out by Brother Monkey, he couldn't wait to open the documents and look down one by one.
Looking at it, Pang Xiaonan's face became serious, this is a labor contract without legal loopholes, which stipulates Xiong Junjun's rights and obligations, and the losses caused by the breach of contract will be borne by Xiong Junjun alone.
Closing the contract, Pang Xiaonan looked at Brother Monkey, was silent for a long time, and finally gave a thumbs up and sighed: "High, really high!"
Brother Monkey sneered and said: "I underestimate you, you can understand the meaning of this contract, you are worthy of being a top student of Dongli Military Academy, you have also read the contract, if there is no problem, hurry up and hand over the person to me, for Peng Yuyan's sake, I will not pursue you about your beating of my little brother." ”
The waiter brought the coffee, Pang Xiaonan took a sip of the cup, well, it was a fragrant and mellow feeling, and then Pang Xiaonan quickly calculated it in his mind.
The labor contract signed by Xiong Junjun and the Hungry Wolf Gang is basically equivalent to a deed of sale, but it is legal. The contract stipulates that because Xiong Junjun owes 300,000 yuan to "Ailong Entertainment Co., Ltd.", Xiong Junjun voluntarily signs a work contract with "Ailong Entertainment Co., Ltd.", with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, and the annual year-end bonus is paid according to work performance, with a total amount of 40,000 yuan, and the contract period is 3 years.
The contract also stipulates that Xiong Junjun's food, clothing, housing and transportation are the responsibility of "Ailong Entertainment Co., Ltd.", and the money spent will be deducted from his salary. Xiong Junjun shall not be absent from work without reason, and a fine of 3 times the salary shall be paid for absenteeism for one day, and if Xiong Junjun takes the initiative to go to work on statutory holidays, 2-3 times the overtime wage shall be given according to the labor law.
This contract is all overlord clauses, Xiong Junjun basically has no personal freedom, because the "Ailong Entertainment Co., Ltd." controlled by the Hungry Wolf Gang is unclear about Xiong Junjun's deduction, and it is likely that a month's salary will be deducted by the Hungry Wolf Gang for various reasons, that is, the 300,000 can never be paid off.
Pang Xiaonan took another sip of coffee, smashed it and said: "You have no problem with this contract, but there is a problem with your approach, the company should not restrict the personal freedom of employees, right? As far as I know, you have imposed house arrest on Xiong Junjun, if this breaks out, what kind of entertainment company do you want to do?"
Brother Monkey's face turned green, and he glared at Pang Xiaonan and said, "Which eye did you see that we put Xiong Junjun under house arrest? Did she say that house arrest is house arrest? We are protecting her!"
"Are you afraid that she will run away?" Pang Xiaonan squinted at Brother Monkey, quietly watching Brother Monkey's face cloudy, he was not in a hurry, because the person was in his hands.
"I repeat it again," although Brother Monkey was a little weak-hearted, he didn't hide from Pang Xiaonan's eyes at all, "We are protecting her, and the company is protecting the safety of employees, which is reasonable." Brother Monkey has rich social experience and will not leave anyone with any words, he suspects that Pang Xiaonan has brought a voice recorder.
"Okay," Pang Xiaonan played with the coffee cup, his face was indifferent, "I won't argue with you about house arrest or protection, I'll discuss a solution with you, I won't hand over people, what can you do to solve it?"
Brother Monkey sneered: "It looks like you want to help her redeem herself." ”
Pang Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, how did this sound like the love story of the ancient dignitaries and the Qinglou woman, but the essence of Brother Monkey's statement is correct, there is nothing wrong with the contract, if you want Xiong Junjun to get out of the sea of suffering, there is a way to repay debts.
The contract stipulates that if Xiong Junjun unilaterally violates the contract, he must pay "Ailong Entertainment Co., Ltd." three times the amount of liquidated damages of 300,000 yuan in a lump sum, that is, 900,000 yuan.
Although 900,000 is not a big amount for Pang Xiaonan, he met Xiong Junjun Pingshui and paid 900,000 for a stranger, which was an impulse. There are so many stumbling girls in the world, and he Pang Xiaonan can't help if he wants to, although Xiong Junjun is not a stumbling girl, it is the misfortune of the original family, but there are many such families, and someone has to bear it, but it is not Pang Xiaonan's turn to meddle in things.
Pang Xiaonan thought for a while and said to Brother Monkey: "Even if I help her redeem herself, but I have to ask her opinion first, whose money is not blown by the wind, don't let my kindness be misunderstood by her, do you say?"
"What if I don't agree? Is this something you can redeem if you want to?" Brother Monkey had a gloomy face, thinking that Xiong Junjun was a good seedling, and if he cultivated it well, he might be able to become the top card of the "Hundred Flowers Club", which is a deal of hundreds of thousands.
"Oh, so there's no need to talk about it?" Pang Xiaonan was not angry, "Okay, I'll let Peng Yuyan talk to you." He could see that the Hungry Wolf Gang was a little jealous of Peng Yuyan, and Peng Yuyan had also said before that if the Hungry Wolf Gang came to him for trouble, Peng Yuyan could come forward to deal with it.
"You don't take Peng Yuyan to press me!" Brother Monkey was angry, but then he calmed down again, although he could be disrespectful to Peng Yuyan in front of Pang Xiaonan, but Anji Nana's jealousy of Peng Yuyan was still engraved in his mind, the Hungry Wolf Gang might not really be able to provoke Peng Yuyan," Tell you, if you want to help Xiong Junjun redeem herself, you can also pay 900,000 yuan in liquidated damages plus 100,000 yuan in the medical expenses of my brothers, make up a whole number, 1 million, before this time tomorrow, give me the money, I will give you the contract, let's clear the two, otherwise, after this time tomorrow, don't say that I turn my face and don't admit it. ”
Pang Xiaonan sneered, thinking that this monkey brother was really a loser, he didn't refute, he directly drank the coffee in the cup, and said, "Okay, just do as you say, and at this time tomorrow, I will give you an explanation." I'm leaving. ”
After speaking, Pang Xiaonan walked towards the door without looking back, got into the car, and went home at a gallop.
Pushing open the door, Pang Xiaonan saw Xiong Junjun sitting on the sofa obediently, watching the news on TV, he walked over gently and sat down next to Xiong Junjun, the two were about half a meter apart.
When Xiong Junjun saw him, he quickly got up and said uneasily, "You're back." ”
Pang Xiaonan nodded and waved his hand, "You sit, don't stand." ”
Xiong Junjun sat down a little cramped, and Pang Xiaonan asked her, "Did you sign a contract with the Hungry Wolf Gang?"
Xiong Junjun nodded, a little bitter: "The contract was signed by my stepfather without my knowledge, he only said that he had found me a job, showed me some of the terms, and let me sign it." When I noticed something was wrong, he snatched the contract away. Later, when I wanted to run, the Hungry Wolves showed me the complete contract, which was a contract like a deed of sale. ”
Pang Xiaonan nodded and said, "You are right, this is indeed a deed of sale, but it is legal, your stepfather transferred all the debts to you." Why should you listen to his words, even if you don't have a work contract, you are only seventeen or eighteen, and you should focus on your studies. ”
Xiong Junjun glanced at Pang Xiaonan shyly, and said: "I have always focused on my studies, but my stepfather is unwilling to bear my tuition, saying that I must go out to work to earn money after graduating from high school. ”
Pang Xiaonan's eyes lit up and said, "How are your grades?"
"I've always been in the top three of my grade. Xiong Junjun's eyes are full of confidence, which is the proudest thing in her life.
"You're 17 years old, are you only in your second year of high school, no, you're the second year of high school and your third year of high school this year, right?" Pang Xiaonan looked at Xiong Junjun and asked seriously.
Xiong Junjun nodded and said, "Yes, but now that the third year of high school has started, I will definitely be expelled from school." ”
Pang Xiaonan had a plan in his heart, he cleared his throat, saw two cups of tea brewed on the coffee table, couldn't help but glance at Xiong Junjun with appreciation, then took a sip of a cup of tea, and said to Xiong Junjun: "That's the case, I went out to negotiate terms with the Hungry Wolf Gang just now, and they agreed to let you go, but I have to pay them 1 million liquidated damages." ”
Pang Xiaonan looked at Xiong Junjun intently, and sure enough, the painful color on Xiong Junjun's face flooded, and he looked at Pang Xiaonan with blank eyes and said, "Where did I get 1 million? Do you want to be controlled by them for a lifetime?"
Pang Xiaonan couldn't bear to see Xiong Junjun crying, and hurriedly comforted him: "Of course there is no way, in this way, I can cushion the 1 million for you." ”
"Ah, really?" Xiong Junjun hugged Pang Xiaonan's arm excitedly, and suddenly felt a little out of shape, so he quickly let go of his hand and asked cautiously, "Are you really willing to help me?" But I don't have anything to pledge...... Except for ......"
"Ahem, cough, cough," Pang Xiaonan was afraid that Xiong Junjun would think crookedly, so he hurriedly added, "Of course, this 1 million is not given to you for free, I need you to sign a contract, see if you are willing, what does it probably mean, that is, you continue to go to school, after being admitted to university, study hard, and work for me after graduation, of course, it is not the kind of work of the Hungry Wolf Gang, the work of the Hungry Wolf Gang, the work of the fair, and the results of the work to repay me, in fact, it is similar to the contract of the Hungry Wolf Gang, no, no, no, it is wrong, there is an essential difference!"
Pang Xiaonan pondered for a long time, thinking about how to express his meaning, and finally, he came up with a term: "Commission training! Yes, it is commission training, you are equivalent to my directional commission trainee, for example, my current project needs a graduate student, majoring in physics, then you need to be admitted to the undergraduate or graduate student majoring in physics, and then work for me for a period of time after graduation, maybe a research and development position, or a management position, until you pay off the 1 million!"
Pang Xiaonan explained in one breath, and asked Xiong Junjun again: "Are you clear?"
Xiong Junjun said: "I know clearly, the teacher told us the truth of commission training, as if many children of state institutions and state-run units were commissioned to train in the past. ”
"Then what do you think?" Pang Xiaonan didn't want to force Xiong Junjun, besides, he was still very risky in this matter, in case Xiong Junjun repented halfway, he couldn't force her to pay back the money or sign a deed of sale like the Hungry Wolf Gang.
