Chapter 26 Intimidation
After the pocket recording of the program, it was almost dark. She looked at her watch and stood in the waiting area of the set waiting for someone. A black Mercedes-Benz sports car came over, and the window was covered with a black curtain. The window was not pulled down, and the people in the car did not say hello. The pocket opened the back seat and got into the car like the usual car. Sitting next to him was a slightly older young man with a square face, sunglasses and a black suit.
The car drove all the way to a new factory on the edge of the city center.
Pocket followed the man into the open factory building. There was an incandescent lamp in the middle of the spacious and dim factory. A tall and thin middle-aged man sat on the stool under the lamp with his legs crossed, and the light was shining on his face. His forehead is slightly bald, with a short head, and a scar with traces of history on his forehead. The most obvious on his sharp face is the high bridge of his nose and thin lips. On one side of the man stood a solid follower, with his hands behind him and standing upright.
"Miss Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" The man said with a cunning smile on his face.
"Each other, Mr. Guan."
The sitting person's official name is fierce. He is the little head of the gangster in this area. There are several well-handed fixed followers under him, who often haunt the border between the city center and the suburbs. Pocket doesn't remember that he has to face these people several times every year. Since her father's death, she has become a direct interlocutor. All these dark memories are sealed in the deepest part of her heart. She doesn't like it, but she still has to face it.
It's just that she hasn't seen Guan Meng in person for two or three years. It should be said that he hasn't come to her in person for two or three years. The person in charge of debt collection is generally his good follower, that is, the person who has been on the side of Guan Meng since he entered the door.
A few years ago, my father's company was bleak, and finally fell down after a long dying struggle, and he also owed a huge amount of usury. Dad is obsessed with gambling because of stress and heart disease. Not only did the debt not get a lucky opportunity to ease, but it was like a downhill ball, rolling bigger and bigger, and the last shot was out of control.
The decline of the family business and the sudden death of my father put the whole family in an unprecedented predicament. My mother, who has been a housewife at home for more than 20 years, has found the most grassroots job outside to subsidize her family, and Pocket has devoted herself to crazy and almost aimless acting work. It is also because she chose to have no bottom line that she has not taken over the popular drama for so many years, and she also lost the opportunity to rise and gradually withdrew from the audience's sight.
With the patchwork salary income, the road to repaying debts is far away. If it hadn't been for Yuheng, she couldn't have imagined how much she would have fallen. Yuheng's protection has made the pocket and mother safe in the past few years. After the darkest period, the collection of money was handed over to A Yun, Guan Meng's subordinate. Guan Meng saw her in person this time and didn't know what was going on.
"What's the matter with me, Mr. Guan?" Pocketly asked.
Guan Meng snorted softly and said, "I haven't seen you for two years. You are getting bolder and bolder. I heard that Miss Shen has rarely appeared recently. It seems that she is doing well. However, if you live a good life, don't forget me, big brother.
"It turned out that Mr. Guan came to me for this." Pocket smiled and said, "Don't worry, although I don't remember anything about myself, I remember it better than anyone else."
"Eh, I didn't say that. If you don't see me again, I'm afraid that Miss Shen will forget my official.
Pocket didn't feel that his words eased her nervousness at all. She stared at him and said seriously, "You should also know what happened recently. Give me another month, including the three months of arrears, and I will return it to you with the profits."
"Why is Miss Shen in such a hurry? Let's talk with your eldest brother. Isn't there enough talk about money?"
"What do you want to say?"
Guan suddenly lowered his head slightly, smiled and said, "I thought you had grown so much. It seems that your nature has not changed at all, so I have something to say." Guan suddenly stood up leisurely, walked to her and said, "I heard that Miss Shen has missed a big play recently. I'm very worried about Miss Shen's 'money'."
"Are you worried about my money or your money?" Pocket raised his face and said with a smile, "Mr. Guan is really paying more and more attention to the matter of pocket money. With such a good news, I think you will definitely make a profit when you change your job as an agent."
"Miss Shen thinks highly of me, so I'll give you some advice. Miss Shen, are you stupid? Guan suddenly lowered his face and asked her.
Pocket looked at him with half doubtful eyes.
"Although I'm an outsider, I still know more or less. Don't eat the swan meat in front of you, waiting to eat the bones. Miss Shen, you are really shameless.
Pocket probably understood that he was referring to her abandonment of the play, but he didn't know why. She said, "Mr. Guan, you don't have to worry about this. Why don't you know that with my small ability, you can't get a better play?"
"Can I not worry? Let me tell you, fortunately, you don't meet someone else, otherwise, the consequences will be more than now.
Pocket glanced at him and didn't understand what he meant.
Guan Meng straightened up and said, "Don't provoke anyone next time. Electric sticks and other things have come out. Why don't you just fool around with me and write off the previous debts?"
Electric stick? Is he talking about Director Zhang? Pocket smiled coldly. It turned out that he was working for Director Zhang. This director was really small-bellied. It was not enough to destroy her play, and he asked someone to repair her. Pocket said, "Mr. Guan's line is so long that even Director Zhang asks you to do something. It's really predestined that we can meet again on this line.
"So I said it's fortunate that you met me, not someone else. Otherwise, it's really hard to say what would happen."
The reason why pocket pocket dares to see him alone is that she has a bottom in her heart, that is Yuheng. Yuheng's father and Guan Meng's immediate superiors are the boss of the gangsters in this area who have a deep friendship. In the first few years after the accident in the pocket family, MG had less contact with the pocket family because of regretting the marriage. Pocket saved the safety of the family with his father's old capital. In the next few years, he couldn't hold on, and finally asked Yuheng for help. Yuheng did his best to rescue the pocket. At one time, he wanted to help her deal with this matter, but the pocket strongly opposed it. In the end, he only asked Yuheng to help her delay the repayment of the debt and lower the interest rate.
This official took the wrong medicine today. He not only listened to Yu Heng's, but also was entrusted by Director Zhang. On the surface, he ate "good people" on both sides, but in fact, he was just a wall grass! But just think about it in your heart. Pocket said to him, "Then I have to thank you first. What about pocket? It's not a day or two to know Mr. Guan. Mr. Guan's pocket is really right.
Guan Meng raised his palm and put it in front of her and said, "That's all for this matter. Who made you the person Zhang Yuheng said hello to? However, Miss Shen and I are different. Guan Meng took two more steps and said, "I advise Miss Shen to take a good look at herself. If you don't take the sunny road, you will be frank, but how can you get along these days? You can afford it. Big brother's money can't afford it.
Finally, he still talked about the point. Isn't he just for money? Pocket said, "Mr. Guan, you can rest assured. My pocket is not a person with wings. I can't fly. What's more, I've been tied up by you for so many years, and I don't want to escape."
"What did Miss Shen say? I'm afraid. Even if you are here, Guan's money is still wasted.
"If Mr. Guan wants to look up to me, he has to wait for me. I will find a way to pay you back the money in these three months as soon as possible.
"I've heard a lot of this, but I can say it from your mouth. Brother, how can I listen to it and be worried!" Guan Meng pretended to be in pain and said, "Miss Shen can't help it, she doesn't want to!" If you don't want to, it's much more difficult than there's nothing you can do.
Pocket looked up at him and guessed that what he was talking about was her bad temper. She said, "I have my own way of doing things. As for the money in arrears, I will also make up for it for you in my own way. Mr. Guan, just waits to collect benefits."
The official shook his head and said, "I just heard that Zhang Yuheng, the director of Zhang, is going to write off the debt for Miss Shen, and he was fiercely rejected by Miss Shen. I can't understand this."
"What can't you understand? Since it's my business with you, it has nothing to do with Yuheng.
"How can this be irrelevant? Director Zhang is Miss Shen's most readily available resource now!" Guan Meng put one hand on the palm of the other hand and patted it, and said word by word with the rhythm.
"Your boss has agreed. What's the hurry, Mr. Guan?" Pocket stared at him gently. This official Meng has been impatient to wait recently.
"Your little money is a matter for him to move his fingers, but for our little brother, it's a big deal. It's enough for us to please a few creditors!"
"Mr. Guan, why do I think this doesn't sound right? Do you mean to open the single with the boss on your back?"
"What did Miss Shen say? It's better to do more than less than one more thing. The boss is looking at Zhang Yuheng's face and appreciates you, but you don't want to think about it. In your current situation, it will be the end of the year of the monkey? Why don't you let Zhang Yuheng cut off this matter and automatically transfer the debt, and it will be settled?
"Mr. Guan, I think you worry too much. What I owe you is yours. I don't want to involve others anymore."
Guan Meng looked at her firm expression and did not persuade her any more. He just said sarcastically, "It's rare to be like you after more than ten years of debut. If you can't, just get married early. Although your marriage contract with MG has long been dissolved, Zhang Yuheng still can't forget his old love for you, and it's okay to be a mistress.
"You are so anxious, do you have any selfishness?"
"I just advise you out of good intentions, and I also do my duty as a creditor. Don't rely on our eldest brother to be lenient to you, just put your eyes above your head! You apply for pocket for face, and others also want face! Let me tell you, the entertainment industry is like you. In the end, there are many people who are begging for mercy in a low voice. You are not like people with few roots. You'd better recognize it earlier!"
Pocket smiled, looked at him coldly, and said, "Then I'll tell you, you'd better respect me. In case I'm lucky one day, the sparrow will turn into a phoenix, and the person who whispers may be you."
Hearing this, Guan Meng raised his head and smiled for a full minute before gasping and saying, "I don't have much ability, but my tone is not small!" Do you think I'll wait if you let me wait?"
"Mr. Guan, if you talk to me in this tone again, I will take you as a threat. Be careful when I spread the words to your eldest brother. With your eldest brother's relationship with Yu Heng, I think you should also know the consequences, right?
"Miss Shen's words are serious." Guan Meng smiled, put his mouth close to his pocket ear and said, "Aren't I also listening to the reaction that business has been difficult recently, so I gave them some face to come out and talk about it?" Plus the matter of Director Zhang..."
Humph, in the final analysis, I still want to scare her. With the help of the opening of the Zhang Dao incident, I not only do superficial work, but also urge her to go into debt. Pocket ignored him and just listened to him continue to talk to see what he could say.
Guan Meng lowered his voice and said, "You see, I also remind you about Director Zhang. After all, don't we still work for the eldest brother? Today's matter is regarded as my routine. I have completed my task. Isn't it good that you are safe and well?
Pocket didn't want to spend any more time with him. He took out a card from his bag, put it in front of him with his fingers, and said, "I'll also talk to you about a deal. The amount in it is enough to offset last month's share. Just take it as my deposit to recover the debt. In two months, I will make up everything I owe you during this period, but today's words, please don't come to me again in the future.
There was a strange light in Guan Meng's eyes. The little girl's self-esteem was as high as a wall, and her tone of voice was as big as a cow! Obviously, she is in debt, but now it seems that she is particularly dignified.
Pocket pocket looked at him and only stared at her. He didn't say anything for a long time and said, "That's all I have valuable. If Mr. Guan looks down on it, he doesn't have this deal. However, all you can do now is wait.
Guan Meng took the card from her hand and said in a low voice, "Send Miss Shen back!"
