Chapter 236 Banggen Becomes a Rogue
After hearing what Zhan Shixiang said, Banggeng had no intention of agreeing to him. After all, in Banggeng's opinion, quarreling is not something a normal person can do.

But later, something Zhan Shixiang said touched Bang Geng.

"The boss also said that if you perform well, you will not only get money, but he will also introduce you to a job and a date."

This sentence immediately attracted Banggeng's attention. For Banggeng, nothing made him happier than money and a decent job.

So Banggeng happily sat down and started drinking with Zhan Shixiang.

After an afternoon of understanding, Banggeng also knew what he should do. The gangster he followed had a lot of Buddhist masters under his command. Every month these Buddhist masters gave a lot of tributes, so followers like Zhan Shixiang who had some culture could get a lot of money every month.

This immediately attracted Banggeng's attention. He didn't have to do anything every month, just help people deal with some things. This way he could get money every month without having to work. Is there anything better than this?
Zhan Shixiang also said that it is easy to get a decent job, but in that situation you have to make contributions and be on call at all times.

Banggeng nodded in agreement. A good job is very valuable these days. Even though this amount of money is nothing to Wanzhu, he is not a fool. Of course, this kind of thing should be used to reward those who have made contributions.

After eating and drinking, Banggeng said goodbye to Zhan Shixiang and returned to the courtyard.

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were very puzzled when they saw Banggeng coming back drunk. Even if they broke up, there was no need to drown their sorrows in alcohol. Besides, there was plenty of alcohol at home.

Qin Huairu came to Banggeng's room and asked him carefully. Banggeng did not tell him everything, but just said that he would not go to work in the steel mill in the future.

Qin Huairu tried to persuade Bang Geng in every way, but Bang Geng just wouldn't listen. Qin Huairu had no choice but to ask Sha Zhu to help her and ask for a long vacation for Bang Geng. He couldn't just quit this job casually, as there were so many people eyeing this position.

Banggeng just took a long vacation. The Wanzhu people don’t accept just anyone, so Banggeng is just a small follower in their group now.

"Zhan Shixiang, do you know where their money comes from?" After working with the gangster for two days, Bang Geng saw others living a glorious life every day and taking out a stack of cash at any time, which made Bang Geng very jealous.

One of Bang Geng's ideas was that he planned to do the same as he did with Xu Damao, first find out the ins and outs of this matter, then kick the guy out and earn the money himself.

"What? What do you think?" Zhan Shixiang was not angry. It seemed that this guy had some ideas.

"Of course. I see they don't do anything every day, so why would so many people give him money?" Bang Geng couldn't wait to figure out what the trick was.

"Oh, don't even think about it." Zhan Shixiang understood what Banggeng meant, but he just wanted to laugh and thought that Banggeng was a bit ignorant of the immensity of the world.

Is this person relying on himself? Although there is a little bit of relationship, most of the people rely on the connections behind them.

Zhan Shixiang explained all the ins and outs of this to Bang Geng. After hearing this, Bang Geng gave up his little idea. He couldn't do this by himself as he, Jia Geng, didn't have any backing.

"What? Are you short of money?" Zhan Shixiang looked at Banggeng with some amusement. He also found out that Banggeng was also capable of saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. Why didn't he see it before?

"Of course I am short of money. Who would complain about having too much money?" Bang Geng said fiercely, gritting his teeth. Living with the bandit for the past few days has broadened Bang Geng's horizons. It was only then that he realized that there are so many fun and delicious things out there.

What was his previous girlfriend? Bang Geng didn't take her seriously at all. "Hey, that's right. If you have money, are you still worried about not being able to find a woman?" Zhan Shixiang patted Bang Geng's shoulder and said meaningfully.

"Then do you have any way to make money?" Bang Geng said unhappily.

"Yes." Zhan Shixiang glanced at Banggeng and took out a pack of "Da Qianmen" from his pocket. He took out two cigarettes from it and handed one to Banggeng, then lit the cigarette in a cool manner.

"What method?" Banggeng didn't have time to smoke at the moment. Now that he had a way to make money, he couldn't care about anything else.

"There are many individual business owners on this street. You know this, right?" Zhan Shixiang said lightly after taking a puff of cigarette.

"I know. You mean we should go too..." Bang Geng had only said half of his words when Zhan Shixiang began to shake his head at him.

"How can we be individual business owners? Returned educated youth like us only learned how to farm in the countryside, and the best we learned were carpenters at best." Zhan Shixiang put out his cigarette, sighing about his previous life as an educated youth.

"And then what?" Bang Geng couldn't help but ask.

"What's the hurry?" Zhan Shixiang glanced at the impatient Bang Geng.

"We don't have the skills or capital, so we can't be self-employed. If you are willing, you can take the train to the south." Zhan Shixiang gave Banggeng an idea, "Many of our educated youth have gone south to do business. Look at the clothes and TVs in the city now, they are all shipped back from the south."

Banggeng shook his head at the thought of going to the south where he was unfamiliar with the place. Moreover, under Qin Huairu's guidance, Banggeng had always wanted a decent job.

"If you want to get some money, it's easy. Do you know why they have so much money?" Zhan Shixiang pointed to the sky, referring to the troublemaker above their heads.

Banggeng looked at Zhan Shixiang in confusion.

"That's because he has a lot of 'Buddhas' under his command. Do you know what a 'Buddhas' is?" Zhan Shixiang said the answer to himself without waiting for Banggeng to answer. "'Buddhas' are people who have a group of petty thieves under their command. If you want to make some money, you can go find a Buddhas and learn a few tricks."

Banggeng was shamelessly tempted by the idea proposed by Zhan Shixiang, but when he thought of his family, he temporarily put the plan aside.

Zhan Shixiang secretly sneered at Bang Geng, who was really a double-faced person. Fortunately, Zhan Shixiang didn't know Qin Huairu. If he knew her, he would know what kind of person Bang Geng was.

Banggeng was still thinking about how to make some money when the gangsters started summoning again. He had a negotiation with the gangsters from other places today and was in need of people to serve as assistants.

Zhan Shixiang quickly patted Banggen who was still in a daze. This was the easiest job, just follow behind people and pretend to shout a few times. If everything went well and no one understood, you could get two dollars in half an hour.

Banggeng however put his little thoughts aside, because there was no one to take the blame for him now, so he had to be careful.
