Chapter 21: The Story of That Year
After a day's work, Cheng Yunxiao was already very tired, but there was still a meeting after work that gave her a headache to deal with.
"Qi Xianwei ......"
In the past five years that Cheng Yunxiao has assisted in managing the company, she has dealt with this name a lot, and on the surface, Qi Xianwei can indeed be called a respected elder, but she learned about what happened back then from her father.
Qi Xianwei is to some extent an old friend of Cheng Yunxiao's father, and the two have already known each other when Cheng Hongzhi mixed in society forty years ago.
The two were like brothers that year, and they worked together to help their boss do a lot of "beautiful things".
But both of them have great ambitions, and they will never be willing to be subordinate all the time, and five years later, the two jointly designed, united the police at the time, and sent the boss to court in an extremely "clean" way.
Of course, the boss is not a vegetarian, he secretly hired a group of killers, made all the witnesses who knew the inside story disappear out of thin air, and found a few greedy young people to take the blame for him, so that naturally he could not confirm his major crimes, and finally could only rely on very little evidence to send him to prison to serve fifteen years.
After the trial, the former boss brought countless younger brothers to protect his safety in the prison, and at the same time bribed the prison management staff with a lot of money, so that he could live a prosperous life in the prison for more than ten years.
Cheng Hongzhi and Qi Xianwei outside the prison were not idle, they divided the original big gang into two, took over the subordinates of the former boss separately, set up their own door, and developed rapidly.
But a bad news reached their ears, the original boss was about to be released from prison, and released cruel words, which was bound to break the bones of the two people who framed him back then.
As soon as this news came out, there was a lot of turmoil on the whole road, and some of the backbone of the two people chose to quit because they were afraid, and the whole thing made people panic.
As a result, Cheng Hongzhi and Qi Xianwei can only choose to cooperate again, and they have to formulate a perfect plan to ensure that they can spend their next life carefree and safely.
Then, the safest thing is to let the former boss die in prison forever.
Easier said than done, they use their connections in the hope of hiring a killer to complete this plan, but the prison is precisely the safest place for the former boss, with the iron walls of the police station on the outside and the close protection under the heart and abdomen inside, the task can be described as extremely difficult.
Despite this, the contacts used all their connections in the hope that the commission would fall into their own hands, which was a good opportunity to quickly become famous, and once this happened, the number of subsequent commissions could grow rapidly, both in terms of price and quantity.
And they took kickbacks from the killers, and they also thought that they could make a lot of money through this commission, and in fact, even if they failed, it would not have much impact on them, at most they would lose a killer and give this opportunity to others.
That year, many killers emerged, using a variety of methods, some pretending to be prisoners to sneak into the prison, some sneaking in at night, and some trying to bribe the jailers, but without exception, they all failed, and countless killers died.
Because of the failure of too many people, the price of this commission once soared to a sky-high price, from the initial 500,000 to 5 million.
Just when many people on the road were curious about who had the ability to get this commission, an unknown sniper appeared.
The ultra-long distance of more than 1,500 meters, the hidden but tricky sniper points, and the target tasks that will appear at any time, make all killers who try to assassinate by sniping deterrent.
But this arrogant young man did it, he lurked at the sniper point for three days, did not eat or drink, maintained the same movement, and finally, with a loud "bang", the former boss was blasted off half of his head and fell in a pool of blood.
This can be called a perfect sniper, so that the contact person in charge of this commission quickly became famous in the circle, Qi Xianwei and Cheng Hongzhi were also very satisfied with this, and at the same time began to be afraid of each other, so they had no choice but to reach an agreement, and the two would never interfere with each other's development.
In order to prevent future troubles, the two negotiated to nominally bring the two most powerful contacts in the killer circle under their subordinates, so as to restrain each other, so Qi Xianwei's subordinates had a female liaison Tao Shu, who was exquisite in all directions and had connections all over the country, and Cheng Hongzhi's subordinates had a new and famous liaison Mo Lin, who was a sniper.
But as time went on, the two found that if they continued to develop, they could only go into decline, so they began to launder money and set up companies separately, turning into "serious" businessmen, but behind the scenes they still did those dirty transactions that could not be put on the table.
Since the company has been established, Cheng Hongzhi and Qi Xianwei will inevitably have business dealings, there is no way, the two finally shook hands and reached a new agreement, all to common development, to create more benefits.
Thinking about these things, Cheng Yunxiao is really getting more and more headaches for the next meeting, no matter what else he says, this person is also a father of the same generation, I am afraid that when dealing with him, he will press himself everywhere, or use those old things as a threat at every turn.
On the other hand, the companies of the two have a disgraceful record, this time Qi Xianwei repeatedly asked to meet after attending Cheng Hongzhi's funeral, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Maybe he wants to do what he did back then, by sending me to prison, in order to annex the company my father left me?" Cheng Yunxiao, who was sitting in the car, thought in his heart, "No, absolutely impossible, I will let him know that our Cheng family is not easy to mess with." ”
Cheng Yunxiao decided that no matter what Qi Xianwei was thinking in his heart, she would never let that plan succeed.
"Mr. Cheng, we have arrived. The driver said to Cheng Yunxiao, who was thinking in the back seat.
Unconsciously, the car had already driven to the door of the Fanhai Hotel, and Li Hao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, immediately got out of the car, opened the door for Cheng Yunxiao, turned around and told the driver to park the car, and then followed Cheng Yunxiao towards the reserved private room.
After entering the box, he didn't wait too long, and Qi Xianwei arrived with a young man
Cheng Yunxiao immediately changed his body, put on a sweet smile, and took the initiative to shake hands with Qi Xianwei, and at the same time shouted softly in a voice that was an octave higher than usual: "Uncle Qi." ”
Qi Xianwei is over sixty years old, but his huge assets have not made him infected with the greasy feeling of those so-called entrepreneurs, his figure is very coordinated, his hair is gray but neatly groomed, there are few wrinkles on his face, thick and big eyes, he seems to be less than fifty years old from the physiognomy alone, he is wearing a suit just right, and the accessories are also extremely elegant, and the whole gives people the illusion of a decent gentleman.
Although Qi Xianwei came to meet under the banner of "visiting the daughter of an old friend", Cheng Yunxiao could see that this person's purpose was definitely not simple, and it could be seen from the young man who followed him.
The young man looked to be in his twenties, extremely thin, also wearing a crisp suit, high cheekbones and thin lips, small eyes, and gold-rimmed glasses, which made the whole person reveal a strong shrewdness, and the eyebrows were somewhat similar to Qi Xianwei.
"Uncle Qi, it's not like you're here to visit me. Cheng Yunxiao covered his mouth and laughed, "You brought such a serious young man over, I thought you were coming to talk to me about business." ”
"Oh, it's all my fault, I forgot to introduce you, this is the dog Qi Jingming, bring it today to introduce you to each other. ”
After speaking, Qi Jingming also smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to show friendship, Cheng Yunxiao immediately shook it, unexpectedly, although this young man looked thin, his hand was very powerful.
Seeing that the two shook hands, Qi Xianwei showed a relieved smile, but suddenly changed his words and asked: "Speaking of which, Miss Cheng seems to be here to talk about business, look at the fierce face of this bodyguard, are you still afraid that I will not be able to eat you?"
After speaking, Qi Xianwei laughed, although his tone was careless, but his words were always tingy.
"Yo, look at what you said, you and my father can be regarded as brothers, just call me Yun Xiao, this sentence Miss Cheng, niece, I really can't stand it. ”
Cheng Yunxiao's answer was not what he asked, and deliberately avoided Qi Xianwei's question, and instead brought the topic to her rhythm.
"Okay! she really deserves to be the daughter of Hongzhi, and she loves to listen to what she says. Qi Xianwei didn't want to waste more time on this topic, so he followed Cheng Yunxiao's words, "Then Yunxiao, let's stop standing, sit down and talk slowly?"
"Of course. Cheng Yunxiao personally pulled out the chair for Qi Xianwei, even though she no longer liked the person in front of her, but the basic etiquette was always done.
Several people sat down separately, the box was a large round table for 8 people to eat, Cheng Yunxiao sat next to Qi Xianwei, and Qi Jingming and Li Hao sat next to them.
At the beginning, the two just chatted about family life, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while, but both of them knew very well in their hearts that these topics were just "appetizers".
After three rounds of drinking, Qi Xianwei and Cheng Yunxiao's faces were a little red, and the two put down their chopsticks at the same time, it was time to cut to the chase.
"Yun Xiao, you've been very busy lately, haven't you? I heard that...... Are you preparing to go public?"
"To tell you the truth, my father and I have been planning this for half a year. Cheng Yunxiao elegantly poured half a glass of red wine in Qi Xianwei's wine glass, and said with a smile.
"Oh, but your company has been busy washing lately...... Hey, niece, you're so smart, you should know what I mean, right?" Qi Xianwei picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and smiled sinisterly, "Besides...... As far as I know, you have also changed hands to someone else in the field of country F. ”
"You're mistaken. Cheng Yunxiao, "My father has already gone, I am a woman's family, and I can't take care of so much business, so it's better to change hands now, so as not to get the last two empty." ”
"I don't think so. Qi Xianwei smiled and debunked Cheng Yunxiao, "Eldest niece, you want to go ashore, not only that, but you also seem to have dismissed a lot of subordinates who were born and died for you, right?"
Qi Xianwei looked up at Li Hao, who was sitting behind Cheng Yunxiao, as if everything was under his control.
"Look at what you said, can't you even believe me now?" Cheng Yunxiao was also not panicked, and gently held up the wine glass with his fingers, "The review of the listing is really strict, I just don't want to get into trouble at this juncture, I also entrusted those subordinates to acquaintances, and when the wind calms down, let them come back." ”
"Eldest niece, don't blame me for being too careful, just do what we do, always have to be more careful, you can understand this, right?" Qi Xianwei began to move out of the condescending tone of being an "elder", "But as an elder, I really want to help you." ”
As he spoke, Qi Xianwei squeezed out a few tears and took out a handkerchief to wipe it again, "Hongzhi he went so early, it's really cruel to leave you alone, so Yun Xiao, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, I will try my best to help you." ”
"Thank you so much, if I had your help, I would have been able to do a lot more at work. ”
Having said that, Cheng Yunxiao felt a burst of nausea, all of which were good-sounding, and the old fox in front of him was afraid that he wanted to control her in the name of helping.
Qi Xianwei laughed, raised his wine glass, and touched Cheng Yunxiao's wine glass with a "ding-" effect, this meeting with hidden mysteries should be over.
In the car, Qi Jingming sat in the driver's seat and drove Qi Xianwei on the way home.
"Father, I just got the news that the intelligence agent has done it, and he sent someone to recover the body, and it is confirmed that it is him.
"It's good to do it, it's clear that he's just a person who buys information, and there are so many rules to buy information from him, I really don't know what he's pretending to be, and he said that he collected my evidence? ”
"Father, you're right. ”
"Oh, also, you have recently paid attention to Cheng Yunxiao's movements of that little girl, lest she do something out of the ordinary and be detrimental to us, this little girl is more shrewd than I thought. ”
"Understood. ”
