When Ren Yuteng first came to Xia Cheng, he was not too familiar with Xia Cheng.

It's just a very ordinary appointment, and it's not a formal business meeting, but I didn't expect Ren Yuteng to attach great importance to it, and actually asked the assistant to book the Hilton Hotel in Xiacheng, which has a little serious and restrained taste.

When Xu Ran arrived at the Hilton Hotel, Qiangzi came early and sat there in the lobby of the hotel and smoked quietly.

What is surprising is that Su Cripple, who I had only seen in the morning, didn't expect to be there, but he was actually holding a cigarette stick and a tobacco bag hanging underneath, smashing and smoking there.

Su Cripple's real name is Su Shun, and he is the former brother of Qiangzi's deceased father, and since the death of Qiangzi's father, it is this Su Lame who used the strongest means to help Qiangzi to the throne.

It's just that I didn't expect that the first thing Qiangzi did after he took the throne was to first settle down the older generation of them, let them stay out of the matter, and then he took a group of young people who were easily enthusiastic and impulsive to do a big mistake that young people are most likely to make, and thus went to prison.

After Qiangzi entered prison, the older generation of that generation retired, and after Qiangzi's enemy also died, although that grudge has disappeared with the death of the enemy, but there has been no strong person in the summer city since then, and it is a mixed situation of scattered sand, dragons and snakes.

However, because of the residual power of these backbone figures such as Su Cripple and Xiaolaohu, under the influence of their interference, coupled with the good economic situation in Xia City in recent years, all parties have developed separately and have nothing to do with each other, and the rivers and lakes of Xia City have quieted down.

Xu Ran walked over and greeted Su Cripple: "Uncle Su, are you here too?"

When Su Lame saw Xu Ran coming, he nodded at him expressionlessly, still smoking his cigarette pouch, and his mouth was even louder.

Qiangzi extinguished the cigarette butt, stood up and ignored Su Cripple, and walked over and said, "Xiao Ran, it's really not good, let's talk in another place, it's awkward to stay here!"

Xu Ran didn't know what had been discussed between Qiangzi and Su Cripple before he came, but he could feel that the atmosphere between the two seemed to be a little stiff and cold.

"Alas, it's not mine, my assistant is really a bit serious, I'm really sorry for everyone......"

Xu Ran hadn't spoken yet, but Ren Yuteng's words mixed with Sichuan sound came over.

When he turned around, he saw Ren Yuteng dressed in casual clothes, and strode over with an assistant behind him, just in time to hear what Qiangzi said.

Ren Yuteng was very surprised to see that Su Cripple was also present, so he quickly stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Su, I didn't expect us to meet again!"

Su Cripple put down the cigarette pouch and shook Ren Yuteng's hand, still expressionless, looking very cold, but he spoke: "Mr. Ren, I have no opinion on your construction on my land, and I can also guarantee that no one will come there to make trouble, but ......"

Speaking of this, Su Cripple's tone was even colder, and he said: "But the entire rivers and lakes in Xia City are not up to me, Su Cripple, you'd better not have too much hope!"

Ren Yuteng's smile was slightly stiff, and he didn't know how to answer.

When he said this, he poured cold water on his head as soon as he came up, and he couldn't talk happily.

Xu Ran listened to Su Cripple's words unceremoniously, so he made a round and said, "Mr. Ren, Uncle Su is this temperament, don't be too surprised!"

Su Cripple didn't seem to have any intention of staying here, so he ignored a few people and got up and knocked the cigarette pot back into his pocket, and then said to Qiangzi: "Qiangzi, we don't have much way to retreat, there is almost no way to retreat, think about what I said to you, I'll go first......"

After that, Su Cripple ignored Ren Yuteng, but glanced at Xu Ran a few times, walked a few steps and suddenly turned around and asked, "Is your aunt okay?"

Xu Ran was a little stunned, this question was too sudden, Xu Ran just subconsciously replied: "She's fine!"

"That's good!"

Only then did Su Cripple turn around again, and left without looking back.

Only Xu Ran was a little dazed, not understanding why this cripple Su suddenly asked like this.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Ren Yuteng opened his mouth first and changed the topic: "Two, the environment here is not suitable for casual chatting and talking, why don't we change places, what do you think?"

Qiangzi said: "Then go to the night cat!"

Ren Yuteng was a little puzzled, he didn't understand where the night cat was talking about, and he couldn't help but look at Xu Ran.

Xu Ran was a little strange why Qiangzi always liked to go to the night cat bar, so he briefly explained to Ren Yuteng that the night cat was a KTV bar.

Although it is not a generation, Ren Yuteng understands the thoughts of young people, and he can't help but smile and respond, he asked the assistant to leave the private room of the hotel, and led the two out of the hotel to the music bar street.

……

On the way, Hadron sat in Xu Ran's car.

Xu Ran said: "Qiangzi, what does it mean when Uncle Su left that he said that you don't have much way out?"

Qiangzi couldn't help but take out another cigarette and light it, and after taking a puff and spitting it out, he glanced at Xu Ran, who was driving next to him, and opened the window.

Putting his hand holding the cigarette on the window, Qiangzi said: "The rivers and lakes in Xia Cheng have been calm on the surface over the years, but in fact, the undercurrent inside is turbulent, if we bring in foreign dragons to come in as help, this is equivalent to breaking the ice!"

Hearing this, Xu Ran was even more puzzled: "Where do you start with this, it means that there is still an unwritten gentleman's agreement between the forces in the rivers and lakes?"

I didn't think that Hadron reacted very violently, and burst into a sentence: "The bullshit gentleman's agreement, that's just us abiding by, the other parties are too greedy, so they will wipe their butts with a piece of paper as a long time ago!"

Saying this, Xu Ran was even more curious, and said: "Qiangzi, you still tell me clearly, what the hell is going on, I also have a score in my heart, I don't want to hit someone else's wall one day and get a face full of ......."

Qiangzi said: "Before I went in, the two districts of Nanhe and Tongcheng in Xiacheng were the business scope of our side, and most of the businesses involved were catering and entertainment, real estate construction, sanitation and cleaning, labor output, logistics and transportation, processing workshops, etc., most of which belonged to the industry with no technical content, purely hard work, and we never got involved in gambling and drugs, which is the bottom line that the older generation has been insisting on since the beginning."

But after I went in for a few years and came out, after these days of observation, I found that the current Tongcheng District has long been occupied by other forces, and most of the business of the industry has been controlled by others, and even the Nanhe District is almost occupied near our home, and some places are even more smoky!"

Hearing these words, Xu Ran's first thought was the den of the second-hand market in Nanhe, where there was currently an unknown force operating in the dark.

Xu Ran said: "Then what does Uncle Su want you to consider doing?"

Qiangzi thought about it, and it was better for him to explain things clearly to Xu Ran, so he said frankly: "He wants me to get back on the throne and take over the situation that he and Xiaohu are maintaining. ”

Speaking of this, Qiangzi asked: "Do you know why Zhang Xiaohu ran to such a remote place to shrink up and open a flour processing factory?"

Xu Ran also felt a little strange about this question, but after Qiangzi said this, Xu Ran guessed a little, and said: "Could it be that he can only choose the place where no one cares about him?"

"That's right, no matter how powerful the person used to be, in this era, he has no money to live by, he is a coward, and he has a false reputation!"

Qiangzi nodded and said: "What Su Cripple said about not many retreats means that at present, the business scope of our side is being squeezed more and more narrowly, Nanhe District is depressed and deserted from the north of the Auto Trade City and east of Zhengyuan Street, there is almost no oil and water, and there is no business, and the vast majority of forces are not interested in expanding there, so our side has also been squeezed into those places, not to mention making money and becoming bigger over the years, they are all struggling to make a living, barely making ends meet......
