Chapter Seventy-Four: Li Rulan

Fang Xiaoke said that people would arrive in five minutes, and Xu Ran was not in a hurry, but admired that Sister Hong bartending.

This red sister's posture when bartending is very elegant, when she focuses on the concoction, she looks at it from the previous person, as if there is a slight change in the temperament of a white-collar elite, showing an intellectual literary and artistic style.

Xu Ran felt a little surprised, this woman's temperament would be changeable, and looking at her every few minutes was a completely different feeling.

Soon, a glass of wine was mixed and pushed over.

Xu Ran took a sip and tasted it, and sure enough, it was the same texture and taste as he requested, and the tangerine peel was astringent, which was even better than what he had drunk before.

In less than five minutes, a woman entered the bar.

What is surprising is that this woman's appearance looks nine points similar to the red sister who is bartending, and if you don't distinguish them carefully, you can even think that they are the same person.

Compared with Sister Hong's mature maturity that has been through the vicissitudes of life, the skin that came in is white and shiny, radiant, and the whole body is also very trendy and stylish, in terms of overall figure and appearance, she is much taller than that Sister Hong.

But when I think that the younger one who came in was my sister, and the slightly older one who was bartending turned out to be my sister, it was easy to make people feel a sense of confusion.

"Yo, Xiao Ke is here?"

After the woman came in, the first thing she looked at was Xu Ran who was seated at the bar, and her tone when she greeted Fang Xiaoke was very casual and indifferent.

Xu Ran noticed that when this woman spoke, her eyes were not on Fang Xiaoke, but directly at him, and her scrutinizing eyes seemed to want to see through him, a little more frivolous.

Fang Xiaoke didn't care, so he answered: "Sister Lan, let me introduce you, this is Xu Ran, my new friend!"

After Li Rulan was introduced, he smiled politely and stretched out his hand to shake Xu Ran, and said: "Although the specifications of this bar are smaller, the environment is not bad, and I will often bring friends over to play in the future!"

"Well said!"

Xu Ran replied casually, and couldn't help but look at Fang Xiaoke.

Fang Xiaoke understood this look, so he said, "Sister Lan, I brought Xu Ran over, I want to talk to you about something, let's choose a room and sit down to talk, right?"

"Alright, let's go to the second floor!"

Li Rulan glanced at Xu Ran with some doubts, and then looked at her sister Li Ruhong, and couldn't figure out what the situation was, so she asked Xu Ran to go up to a secluded room on the second floor.

This room should be a room shared by sisters, there are two beds, the beds are taken care of around each with their own characteristics, there are several famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the style of decoration is very elegant and tasteful, the flowers in the room are bright green, and the dark room is fragrant.

Li Rulan led Xu Ran to the coffee table and sat down, glanced at the glass of wine that Xu Ran brought, couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Your taste for drinking is quite unique, ordinary men go to the bar, and few people order tangerine peel, which will easily lose the opportunity to be accosted by beautiful women......

Xu Ran didn't answer this conversation, but said: "This Sister Lan, I'll be straightforward, I haven't known Fang Xiaoke for less than a few hours, she brought me to you, it's about some insider information about the Nanhe thrift market and related people I want to ask......

Hearing this, Li Rulan's eyebrows and eyes raised, and her face turned cold.

She looked at Fang Xiaoke and said in a deep voice, "Xiaoke, you didn't say anything to your sister if you were related, did you?"

Fang Xiaoke is quite a smart woman, and immediately explained: "Sister Lan, don't worry, I haven't said a word about her, Xu Ran is ready to invest in the thrift industry recently, and the scale is relatively large, but because there is a Nanhe thrift market nailed in front of him, it will form a competitive relationship, he doesn't know much about it, so he wants to know the opponent's situation in detail!"

Hearing her explanation, Li Rulan's face was a little kind, and she looked at Xu Ran and said, "What do you want to know?"

Xu Ran said: "I want to know who is operating in the shadows there, whether there is a threat to my investment, if you can get the relevant inside information, it would be better, I can be prepared!"

After Li Rulan heard this, she shook her head and said: "Although the second-hand market in Nanhe is a big pit, whoever jumps into it will die, but if Brother Xu wants to invest in the thrift industry, if he chooses other places to operate normally, there should be no conflict with there, and the people who control there don't look down on those businesses that collect rags, and they will not pose any threat to you, you can rest assured that you will invest in yours!"

Hearing this, Xu Ran said: "That's right, but there are no absolutes in the world, maybe they can't look down on the rags now, but once they see that others are making money through this industry, they will inevitably not blush and do things, do you think this is the truth?"

"That's right!"

After Li Rulan nodded, she just raised her head and looked at Xu Ran with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "It's just that you and I meet in Pingshui and don't have any friendship, why should I tell you so much news, what's in it for me?"

Hearing the other party talk about asking for benefits, Xu Ran put his mind at ease and said, "As long as you can provide me with the detailed information there, depending on the value of the information you provide, the price is negotiable!"

Li Rulan was a little excited, and looked at Xu Ran uncertainly: "I can provide a lot of inside information, but I don't know if you can eat it, and my sister has a big appetite......

Xu Ran couldn't help laughing, and said: "Sister Lan, I'm not a plainclothes public servant, I will do these investigations, just to be prepared in the future, at least for the time being, I haven't had any conflict of interest with them, of course I will pay for the consultation, but if you open your mouth widely, then don't talk about it!"

"Yo ho, listen to your tone, it shouldn't be that you came to me to bargain, right?"

After Fang Xiaoke heard this, he was afraid that the conversation between them would collapse, so he quickly reconciled: "Sister Lan, you don't have to doubt Mr. Xu's financial situation, he just doesn't want to waste time on irrelevant content......

Li Rulan ignored Fang Xiaoke, and just looked at Xu Ran.

Out of caution, she didn't open her mouth to continue, but said: "Brother Xu, what you want to know, or the information you want to get, if people know that it is flowing from my hands, the power of it can be imagined, I am taking a great risk, if it weren't for my sister being hurt because of one thing, I have an inextricable grudge with those people, if you mention this to me today, I will pour wine on you and drive you out, you know?"

Listening to the other party's first voice, Xu Ran didn't care.

Drink some of the wine in the cup, then put down the cup and said: "Sister Lan, you have any grievances and hatreds, I'm not interested, you tell me that these are meaningless, dry goods are better than anything else!"

Li Rulan had no choice but to say: "Well, now there are people in the second-hand market in Nanhe who are secretly maintaining the superficial operation, and this person is just someone else's pawn and thug, and the business of underground casinos and private placements, as well as the smuggling of some imported products, is the bulk of the revenue there."

At the beginning of last year, although it was raided once, and the matter was quite big, there were a lot of people involved, and it was not finally over, but after some of the relationships inside were exposed, the second-hand market there became a taboo topic for insiders......"

Speaking of this, Li Rulan finally hit the original intention: "Regarding the people I am talking about, and who is secretly running the second-hand market, I know all their details and information, as well as who is involved in their network, a fixed price, 100,000 yuan, all the information I have on hand is given to you!"

Xu Ran said: "Fifty thousand!"

Li Rulan smiled lightly: "Why are you so picky, brother, it's a big deal that my sister will give you less, 80,000?"

"Deal!"

Xu Ran immediately made a final decision.

Li Rulan was stunned, the other party's way of not playing cards according to the routine made the offensive that she was about to brew to have a war with the other party instantly come to naught.
