On December 29th, there is already a New Year's atmosphere in Heiyan City, the windows and doors of those shops on both sides of Mingguang Street, the most drunk and gold-obsessed in Heiyan City, many are newly decorated, lit up with various colored lanterns, many businesses and restaurants have launched promotional activities, in order to make a good profit during the New Year, at this time in previous years, even the ordinary people of Heiyan City who rarely come to Mingguang Street to shop, many will take advantage of the festive atmosphere to luxury, feel the life of those rich people in Heiyan City.
Perhaps only those who are careful will find that although this year's Mingguang Street still looks lively, there are many fewer people who have actually dominated the seven ruling families of the Heiyan City Coal and Steel Federation in some of the top consumption places on Mingguang Street.
Since the beginning of this year, the seven once ruling families in Black Flame City have slowly faded out of the sight of the ordinary people of Black Flame City, although many of the industries and businesses of the seven families in Black Flame City still seem to be thriving, but the people of the seven families in Black Flame City are becoming fewer and fewer, and there is a grapevine that many of these seven families, especially young people, have left Black Flame City and gone to other countries.
Captain Colin finally bought a 140-square-meter house on Mingguang Street, not that he finally saved enough money, but that the housing prices in Heiyan City have been reduced a little, and finally let the most terrible one-eyed dragon in Heiyan City have his own "love nest", although the "love nest" is there, but the hostess of the room is still gone.
A few days ago, Captain Colin plucked up the courage to confess to Teacher Dinah, but the reply he received was Teacher Dinah's "Thank you, we are not suitable", which made Captain Colin devastated, and the whole person almost collapsed, and the whole person was depressed for several days.
As the Chinese New Year approached, looking at the empty and deserted room with only himself and wine bottles on the floor, Captain Colin wondered if he would go crazy if he stayed here alone.
So Captain Colin put on his coat, stood in front of the bathroom mirror, washed his face with cold water, and dipped some water on his hands to arrange his lion-like unkempt hair, and then the red-eyed one-eyed dragon left the apartment building where he was.
This is not far from the Iron Thorn War Hall, and after a few days of depression, Captain Colin plans to go to the War Hall to practice his hands, to re-energize himself, and if he is lucky, to find the dead fat man in the War Hall to fight the autumn wind.
In the past few days, the money for drinking alone has deflated Captain Colin's wallet, which was not enough to bulge, and he squeezed the hard silver coins and copper plates in his coat pocket, and Captain Colin secretly scolded the profiteers who sold the wine twice as much as last year, and then went out.
Out of the apartment building, it is Mingguang Street, at this time, Guangming Street, it is night, the whole street is brilliantly lit, and the street is full of people.
Looking at the well-dressed little white faces with thin arms and legs leading the women on the street, the one-eyed dragon straightened his solid chest muscles, and a trace of confidence returned to him.
If it really comes to troubled times, Dinah will know that the only man who can really protect her and give her a sense of support and security is herself, not these cream students who can only play tricks to make women happy, and only the fists of powerful men are the best support for women in troubled times, and Dinah will soon understand.
Jerome that guy still wants to be a mercenary, hmph, he doesn't know, the more this time, the more I embody the value by Dinah's side and shine, men will change themselves for the environment, not to mention women, I will not give up, Dinah will definitely have a change of heart one day.
Captain Colin cheered himself up as he walked, reaffirming his resolve to pursue Dinah.
Now that I have a house, perhaps, I should buy myself a few decent sets of clothes like those little white faces, and find a time to go to the barber shop to get my hair done The bustling shops on Mingguang Street gave the one-eyed dragon a lot of inspiration, and the one-eyed dragon cheered up again, and he strode through the crowd with his head held high and his chest high.
Well, if you want to do these things, it's better to get some money first.
Thinking of the dead fat man in the Iron Thorn Battle Hall, Captain Colin showed a smile on his face, and his whole person also quickened his pace.
Just now I thought of the fat man, just in front of the one-eyed dragon, he immediately saw a fat man, but this fat man was much more obscene than the fat man in the war hall.
Captain Colin stepped forward quickly, and a large hand landed heavily on the fat man's shoulder.
Barry, who had a few pimples on his face, turned his head to see the one-eyed dragon that had shrouded half of his puberty in a thick shadow behind him, and Chauvin, who was walking with Barry, was also startled when he saw Captain Colin.
There is no lesson in the blood of the elders of the seventh middle school in Black Flame City, and there is still one that plays a role after graduationUnless you can beat the one-eyed dragon, otherwise, even if you graduate from school, it is best to maintain enough respect for the one-eyed dragon.
For a person who dares to beat even a commander in the army, if this guy wants to beat a former student of his, he will definitely not look at the occasion.
"Ah, Captain Colin, are you here to go shopping too" At the sight of Captain Colin, the fat man Barry smiled like a dirt dog that had picked up a lot of rotten meat, and almost stuck out his tongue.
Chauvin also hurriedly greeted Captain Colin.
The one-eyed dragon frowned slightly and looked at the obscene dead fat man in front of him, the neat and regular woolen suit and silk shirt on Barry's body made the one-eyed dragon slightly unhappy, and the one-eyed dragon was a little puzzled, why like Barry, a dead fat man who didn't even have the qualifications to be a soldier, seemed to mix well for more than a year, and he had been frugal but often had empty pockets, God was so unfair, the little white face can provoke women to like, these cunning and obscene guys will make money, and themselves, But it has never been related to money and women.
"Why, where are you going?"
asked the one-eyed dragon with a gloomy face.
"Ah, Shavin and I just came to hang out and buy some small gifts for the family by the way."
Barry said with a smile, "I heard that Captain Colin has bought a house nearby, it's really enviable, the house here is the most expensive in the entire Black Flame City, how many women want to marry someone who can buy a house here, we wish Captain Colin can find a beautiful hostess for his mansion as soon as possible."
Barry was so good at reading words and expressions that Captain Colin's face softened as soon as his upper and lower lips touched.
"Well, don't be too late out there," Captain Colin's eyes rolled over Barry and Chauvin, and he couldn't find anything to do, so he muttered sullenly, and strode on.
Seeing Captain Colin leave, Barry and Chauvin both looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, this one-eyed dragon's unhappiness today is almost completely hung on his face, if in the past, when the one-eyed dragon stood at the school gate with this expression, all the people who walked by the school gate had weak legs, fortunately, they finally sent him away, just a minute ago, the two of them were still talking about Teacher Dinah, I really don't know if the one-eyed dragon had walked behind the two of them a minute earlier and heard those words, Will they be crippled on the spot?
"It's dangerous," Shavin said, patting his chest.
"Looking at the one-eyed dragon, it seems that there is no progress in courting Teacher Dinah," Ba said as he rubbed his chin with one hand and watched Captain Colin's back disappear into the crowd.
"Nonsense, do you want to see Teacher Dinah being crushed under this beast To be honest, I feel a little hard to accept that Teacher Dinah is with that man" Barry shook his head and sniffed, "Let's go, let's get our business done first, it's not our turn to worry about this kind of idle business" Chavin nodded.
A few minutes later, the two appeared in the private room of a high-end restaurant on Mingguang Street, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, Lieutenant Clark of the Logistics Department of the 19th Division of the Iron Horn Army, who had changed into civilian clothes, appeared in the private room of the restaurant.
After a table of very expensive food and wine, Barry skillfully took out a money bag from his body and gently pushed it in front of Lieutenant Clark.
Lieutenant Clark took the bag and flipped it casually, and when he understood the weight inside, a smile appeared on his face, and then he raised his glass, "Here, for the faster we work together next year, cheers" "Cheers" Three wine glasses clashed After the meal, the waiter enters the private room with the menu to settle the bill.
"There are 96 silver coins and 86 copper coins, which one will pay the bill?"
"I'll do it," Barry said, graciously pulling out a gold coin and bouncing it over, "No need to look for it" "Thank you" the waiter bowed and left.
After chatting with Barry and Chavin, Clark left first, and after everyone left, Chavin inhaled the air in the private room, "Ah, it's too extravagant, I didn't expect to eat almost a gold coin in one meal, and I haven't eaten enough yet."
"It's just to save face," Ba said in an old-fashioned tone, "If it weren't for this kind of place, you would change to a low-end restaurant, and I told you, Clark wouldn't necessarily come."
"That's not coming, we're sending him gold coins, just now when you took out the more than sixty gold coins, I was a little distressed, we have been busy for a year, and we have only earned more than a hundred gold coins, this time, half of the money will be taken out" Shawen sighed.
"Don't worry, don't just stare at that little bit of money, as long as we grasp Clark's line, next year, that money will be doubled back from him, and this is just the beginning of building trust between the two sides."
Barry gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, catch up with the waiter."

"What are you doing" Chauvin was stunned for a moment.
"Let him find us money, damn, that's three silver coins and fourteen coppers, Madame Anna's business has not been doing well lately, if you are a regular customer, you can go to Madame Anna twice for that money."
Hearing Barry say this, the two of them hurriedly rushed out of the private room.
"Sir, didn't you say you didn't need to look for it," the waiter looked at Barry in surprise.
"You may have heard me wrong, what I said is that you don't need to look for the change of the four coppers, count your tips, and the remaining three silver coins and ten copper coins, please bring them to me as soon as possible, hurry up, we still have something to do" Barry said without shame on his face.
In the end, the waiter stiffly put the change of three silver coins and fourteen copper coins in the hands of the dead fat Barry, and between the "tip" of the crooked four copper plates and his own "dignity", the waiter chose the latter without any struggle.
Leaving the restaurant, Barry and Chavin hurried to a high-end clothing store on Mingguang Street, and before, the two of them found a place to store their things and changed into their relatively ordinary clothes, and folded the clothes with more than two gold coins on their bodies again, put them back in the box, and took them back to the clothing store to return.
"Sir, is there something wrong with our clothes" The clerk at the clothing store looked at Barry and Chauvin with the same depressed expression.
"There's no problem, it's just that we suddenly don't want it, your rules here, isn't it within seven days, as long as the clothes are in good condition and the label is still there, you can return it for no reason, this dress was bought yesterday, there should be no problem," Barry said seriously.
The clerk of the clothing store carefully inspected the two pieces of clothing and found that they were indeed in good condition, and the tags on the clothes were still there, so he returned the money to Barry in frustration.
Coming out of the clothing store and walking down the street, Barry and Chauvin exchanged glances, and then laughed together.
After the laughter, Barry put his hand on Chauvin's shoulder, "Brother, don't worry, one day, we won't come to this kind of store to pick out clothes again" "If you don't come to the store to pick, then where are you going to pick it?"
"We'll have our own tailors, the best ones, like the big guys in the Coal and Steel Federation in Black Flame City," Ba said with a wistful look.
Chauvin smiled happily, "Of course I do" "Let's go, go home early today, and tomorrow we'll go and sweep up some New Year's goods for the holidays, and send a little to the homes of Doug, Baghdad, Wright, and Sista, they probably won't have a few days off until the New Year."
"I heard that Baghdad is already going to become a third-class soldier" "This guy's progress is indeed very fast, from graduation to now, in less than two years, three bright points have been ignited" "I don't know how the big head is now, it should be more powerful."
"This guy might be level six now."
Speaking of Zhang Tie, both Barry and Shavin had some special looks on their faces, it was their good brother, a good brother who was enough to make them proud.
Barry and Chauvin then parted, and because it was late, they went home separately.
Barry's home is in a good residential area in Black Flame City, and when Barry returned to that residential area, the time was almost after twelve o'clock, and there was no one in the residential area at this time, and it was quiet everywhere, only the faint sound of dogs barking in the distance.
A few days ago, a person in the residential area jumped to his death, died a little miserably, his brain was splashed ten meters away, a cold wind blew, looking at the shadows on both sides of the road that the lonely few street lamps could not illuminate, when passing by the place where the jumper had an accident, Barry's neck couldn't help but have goosebumps, and he quickly quickened his pace.
A hand silently stretched out from the darkness and took it on Barry's shoulder before he knew it.
In an instant, Barry's scalp exploded, his whole feet went limp, and the earth-shattering scream just ran out of his mouth for half a syllable, and his mouth was covered by a person.
"It's me" A voice that Barry almost thought was an illusion appeared in Barry's ears, and as soon as Barry turned around, he saw Zhang Tie's vague but familiar face.
Zhang Tie's face also had a smile that was familiar to Barry, seeing Barry's wide eyes, knowing that Barry had recognized him, he took his hand away from Barry's mouth, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, how can you become less daring, and a pat on your shoulder will scare you like this" "Big head" Barry muttered to himself in shock, at this time, even if it was really the guy who jumped off the building standing in front of him, he was not so shocked.
"It's been a long time since anyone called me this nickname" Zhang Tie rubbed his face, "You're back" "It's back":
