Chapter 325: Pai Gu
Chapter 325
Liu Yishou was stunned.
He could have imagined Lu Jingyao's anger when he brought Xu Youyou to such a place, and he was not prepared for Xu Youyou to take the initiative to walk in!
"Miss Xu, how can a noble person like you come in in such a place?" Liu Yishou said anxiously.
Xu Youyou waved his hand.
The store she entered was not a massage parlor or tea room. Although it looked quite unreasonable, the sign "I'm rude" was written on the door, and there was a mahjong room inside.
It is daylight now, the mahjong room is filled with smoke, and several tables are all filled with people.
Xu Fang hurriedly caught up and handed a mask to Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou really couldn't smell the smoke inside, so she took a casual look after putting on a mask. There were men and women on each mahjong table, and most of the people sitting and playing cards were men. There were also many women wearing slim cheongsams and heavy makeup around.
These women are older, and they are over thirty years old, but their eyes and eyebrows are full of charm. They see the main player who plays cards and immediately say good-heartedly, they don't have money. When the men win money, they seem to be happy, so they grab a handful of money and give it to them.
"Are these people also specially maintained by the chess and card rooms?" Xu Youyou asked Liu Yishou.
Liu Yishou shook his head and whispered: "They have a special name, called Pai Gu. They make a living in the chess and card room every day, but it is not clear whether they are specially maintained by the chess and card room."
"There are two parts of the income of Pai Gu. One is to see the money owner wins the money, and the other is to say that if the money owner has thought about it, you can also communicate with other people..."
Although Liu Yi's birthday was vague, Xu Youyou also understood it.
"Ms. Xu, these people who do lower-level businesses are very straightforward. Otherwise, let's leave here first, so as not to get dirty." Liu Yishou persuaded Xu Youyou to leave.
Xu Youyou did not agree. The reason why she paid attention to these people was indeed because Liu Xiangyi's sudden words gave her some guesses, just like the system's random instructions, which ultimately marked the city of Hualien.
If this is true, if she hadn't walked all the streets, maybe the golden pointer of the system would still be spinning around.
Sure enough, she did not walk to this street as the system's instructions, but after she arrived, the system's golden pointer quietly condensed and pointed straight at the chess and card room.
Xu Youyou couldn't help but look forward to it. This is the only street she had not stepped on in Hualian, just like the formation center of the formation in the novel, maybe she had what she needed.
The golden pointer pointed at a certain card girl and pointed to the next card girl.
The golden pointer did not stop, and seemed to have recovered from the confusion that had been like the previous few days, pointing blindly everywhere without stopping.
Xu Youyou was so angry that she felt that things were in a deadlock again. While she was thinking, Liu Yishou's phone next to her vibrated the speakers. Xu Youyou felt extremely irritable and she held back and said nothing.
"Miss Xu, you were just curious about Pai Gu. I asked my friend. The card room here does not take a commission, and they all have their own money to earn." Liu Yishou suddenly held up his cell phone and said.
Only then did Xu Youyou understand what Liu Yishou was doing after the phone rang, and couldn't help asking, "No one took the commission? Then no one protected them?"
It is not a good thing not to pay money, because this kind of gray industry is generally protected by someone, and of course, a part of the income must be paid accordingly.
Liu Yishou said: "Other women on this street have to hand in the commission, but only the card girl is the exception. In the early years, they also had to hand in the commission. In recent years, they changed the managers and said that these are pitiful people, and it is a hand to protect one." Xu Youyou has been thinking about the relationship between these things. The golden pointer is indeed pointing around. Xu Youyou asked several times, but the system did not reply, but she believed that the system would not be unprincipled in doing things, and there must be some connection.
She asked, "Who protects them? Why do you protect them?"
The Liu family also worked hard to board the big ship of Xu Youyou. Liu Yishou had a slight understanding of the information on this street before. Now, as soon as Xu Youyou asked, Liu Yishou passed the question to the person on the other end of the chat software.
After waiting for less than ten minutes, Liu Yishou said, "The surname is Chang, and he is known as Chang Qiye. This person came to Hualien ten years ago. He has great abilities and a wide range of people. His industry is everywhere in Hualien urban area. The industry he doesn't make the most money is the chess and card room."
"Isn't your family the King of Hualien? Why does it seem like you didn't know him very much before?" Xu Youyou asked.
Liu Yishou said helplessly: "Miss Xu, brothers kindly hold my house. The only thing that stays in Hualien is left is the marble industry. Other industries have long been transferred to the north of the island. Moreover, this Mr. Chang Qi mainly wanders in the gray area, and my family has almost no business dealings with him."
Xu Youyou barely understood.
Liu Yishou continued: "It is said that this Chang Qiye is not a native of the island. He grew up in the inland and northeast. He went to the island to find relatives at first. The news said that the reason he protected Pai Gu was because his relatives should have also worked in this industry."
Xu Youyou suddenly grabbed the point: "You said before that there is his industry everywhere in Hualien?"
Liu Yishou nodded.

Xu Youyou stretched out his hand back, and Xu Fang hurriedly delivered a map of Hualien City to her.
She pointed to several places in succession, all of which have been to these days.
Liu Yishou's phone began to buzz and vibrate again. People on the other end of the chat software helped him find out the news that he didn't know.
Xu Youyou completely understood that the places she has been to in the past five days have Chang Qi's industries, and the places she has been to several times, and the entire street is his.
Xu Youyou couldn't help thinking that compared to Liu Yishou, this Chang Qi was more like the "King of Hualien".
"I want to see him." Xu Youyou said.
Liu Yishou was not afraid of Xu Youyou's request, but she was afraid that she had no requirements. With the request, the Liu family helped her. Xu Youyou owed the Liu family a favor, so that she could truly get it online.
But after telling the elders about this, the results were not optimistic.
"Miss Xu, my father invited his friend to pass on a message to Mr. Chang Qi. Mr. Qi's subordinates said that he has been fasting for a while and has not seen outsiders for a month." Liu Yishou said with a bitter face.
He hoped that Xu Youyou could wait for a month.
But Xu Youyou's mission deadline is fifteen days, and she couldn't even determine whether the clues of her mission fell on Chang Qi.
"One month is too long, I can't wait for so long." Xu Youyou has wasted six days since she received the task. She said, "I hope to see him within five days."
