He Mu took the atlas to four shops one after another, and each shop called a person away, and the carriage pulled them to the warehouse in a hurry. He Mu opened the atlas and picked out some cloth according to the patterns of the latter types.

"I called you here today because I have something for you to do", He Mu looked at the four people who were confused and said, "Tomorrow night, we are going to beat up someone." ”

"Hey, what else should I do", Chen Fang, the only woman among the four, said, "You men can just go to this hands-on business, you shouldn't need me, Dongjia?" ”

He Mu shook his head, "You have to go, in case that person doesn't have a chance to be left alone, you're going to come in handy." ”

"I'll understand as soon as you say that", Chen Fang stroked the broken hair on her sideburns and stretched out her slender white fingers, "But the owner, I haven't made any new clothes for a while." ”

"I'll give you money in a while, go to He Kee to buy clothes, and buy the rest wherever you like, until you have all the outfits."

"Well, that's easy to do", Chen Fangmei said with a smile, "Don't worry, the owner, I will keep his three souls and seven souls." ”

He Mu smiled and looked at the others, "Tomorrow night we are going to beat up a Russian, his name is Batkin, and he is the chief of police. So, if it doesn't work, or if you show anything, it's a dead end. ”

"What do you want to beat?" Yang Yun, who can speak Japanese, asked, "Do you want to die or half a life?" ”

"Just beat him until his nose is blue and his face is swollen, and there are many bruises on his body," He Mu said, "Don't be too heavy, it's best not to break bones." It's almost over, and you're going to have to say a word in Japanese. ”

"What?"

"You're going to say, 'Stop fighting, he'll cause trouble to Boss He if he dies', understand?" He Mu asked.

"Understood," Yang Yun said, "I must have heard him clearly." ”

He Mu stretched out his finger and pointed to the cloth on the side, "These cloths will be cut into several cloaks in a while, and tomorrow night, you will cover them over the cotton clothes." I'm afraid he'll resist too much and tear your clothes and show flaws. ”

"Tomorrow night we will follow him all the time, and when we see him alone, we will put on a sack and beat him. In a moment, you will go to the police station by the river and watch what he is going to and what way he will go home after work. ”

"The owner", Yang Yun said, "The policeman has a gun, in case he ......"

He Mu lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "He has it, we have it too, don't worry about this, before I do it tomorrow night, I will definitely bring the gun." ”

"That's easy," Yang Yun said, "we don't have to really shoot, just scare and scare him." ”

He Mu nodded, and after a few people discussed it, they dispersed on the spot. Yang Yun and Chen Fang went straight to the police station by the river, and He Mu went to find the few people who were staring at Feng Ping's house, and learned that Yao Shunchang had not sent anyone to deliver things. went around in circles, and finally returned to Lin Hongwen's house.

Lin Hongwen opened the door for him with the smell of smoke, and after He Mu entered the house, he whispered, "I remember that you said before, Qingzhi bought two pistols from Vincent?" ”

"That's right", Lin Hongwen looked at He Mu, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Where are those two pistols now?" He Mu asked.

"One is kept, and the other is with me," Lin Hongwen said, "but we don't want his life." ”

"But he wouldn't think so," He Mu explained, "he has a gun in his hand, and if he shoots, then we will have to smash any plan." ”

"It's really my negligence", Lin Hongwen said tiredly, "I actually ignored such an important matter, but fortunately you thought about it thoughtfully, you wait, I'll get it to you." ”

Lin Hongwen took out a locked box from the back room, "This is the pistol, the key is for you, you take the box together, so as not to arouse suspicion." ”

"Okay", He Mu said, "don't worry, we don't need to, just scare him, so that we can do it." ”

"I'll give you something, how to use it, you can do it," Lin Hongwen said.

He Mu was about to go out with the box in his hand, and looked back at Lin Hongwen again, "You have to sleep well, otherwise He Gui will be suspicious when he sees your face tomorrow night." ”

"I know, I boiled myself a pair of calming medicine for a while, and after dinner, I drank it", Lin Hongwen said, "I guess how I can sleep after drinking this medicine." ”

He Mu shook his head and walked out, Lin Hongwen had to get a good night's sleep to see He Gui, and he and the other four people were destined to spend a sleepless night.

112.

Lin Hongwen felt sleepy not long after drinking the tranquilizer, he covered two thick quilts and fell asleep grogily. On the other side, He Mu's residence, the oil lamp was lit all night.

He Mu shook off the cloak and showed it to Yang Yun and them, "Time is tight, it's just cut out, and I'll make do with it tomorrow." ”

"It's not in the way," Yang Yun said, "Anyway, no one can see the black light." ”

"You've been with him all night, where has he been?" He Mu asked.

"This Russian guy is very," Chen Fang said, "and when he goes to eat in a Western restaurant, he doesn't forget to flirt with the waitress." ”

"Sister Fang is right, you have to rely on Sister Fang if you don't do it tomorrow," Yang Yun said.

"How?" He Mu asked.

"His home is on Market Street (1), and he will walk back along China Street after work," Yang Yun analyzed, "and some of the foreign shops on China Street close late, so there is a high chance that we will be seen." ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

"We can't follow him and wait for the opportunity to do something, it's too easy to be seen doing this kind of thing on the streets of China," Yang Yun said, "We have to find a back street, when I walked from there today, I found that those Japanese trading houses closed early, we can do it in the East Commercial Street." ”

"You mean, tomorrow as soon as the Japanese trading houses close, we'll stop the carriage?" He Mu asked.

"Yes, as for how to lead him from the main road of China Street to the small road of Dongshang Street, it depends on Sister Fang", Yang Yun said with a smile.

"Hey, Sensei said that when you turn into China Street, you will be Dongshang Street, and you won't need to walk five steps. Even if you want to turn around to the Fu family's store, as long as you say it to the owner, I will do it! Chen Fang said with a delicate smile, "I'll show you the outfit I just bought today in a while." ”

He Mu amused her, and pointed to the back room and motioned for her to change her clothes. Chen Fang pursed her lips, took a suit, stepped on the high heels of foreigners, and twisted in to change.

When she came out, all the men in the room couldn't take their eyes off it. The crimson dress is close to the waist to highlight the curve, the red lips are delicate and delicate, and the jewelry is exquisite but not dazzling, but it is more eye-catching.

"How's it going?" Chen Fang asked with a smile.

He Mu was stunned and nodded immediately, "Very good." ”

Chen Fang smiled and walked beside the charcoal fire, putting on the cloak He Mu put aside, "It's good if you're satisfied, freeze me to death, freeze me to death." ”

"......" He Mu looked at her helplessly, "The clothes are thin, what should I do tomorrow, I won't freeze sick?" ”

Chen Fang smiled thoughtfully, "Don't worry, I bought a light gray mink coat in He Ji today, and when the time comes, it won't be too cold." Don't worry, I didn't waste the money you gave me. ”

"It's okay, it was originally for you", He Mu smiled, "Then what are you going to do tomorrow?" ”

"If Batkin goes to eat at a Western restaurant tomorrow, then I will lure him in the Western restaurant. If he doesn't go to a Western restaurant to eat, I'll lure him in before he reaches the intersection of East Commercial Street. Chen Fang said, stretching out his hand in front of He Mu, "East, a meal in a Western restaurant is also quite expensive." ”

He Mu took out a few rubles and gave her a few rubles, and Chen Fang couldn't close her mouth with a smile, "I like to do things for generous owners." ”

"Sister Fang, you're almost done", Yang Yun said, "Your salary has come out for several years." ”

"You don't have to care about money now, just care about whether you can succeed tomorrow," He Mu said solemnly, "You must remember that if you have a business trip tomorrow, we will only have a dead end." ”

Chen Fang, Yang Yun and the others restrained their smiles and nodded seriously.

When Lin Hongwen opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day, and after sleeping for so long, he felt very hungry when he woke up. I heated up some steamed buns, gruel and leftovers, and devoured them. After eating, Lin Hongwen looked in the mirror and found that he had slept enough and eaten, and his face was much better. He sat in a rocking chair and thought about things from beginning to end, and picked out a navy blue cotton robe that was both decent and unassuming, put on a woolen scarf given to him by Xu Qingzhi, and prepared a pair of thick-soled cotton boots. Lin Hongwen thought that it would not be rude to wear this dress to eat He Gui's meal, but also let him see that he was not rich and let down his guard.

Busy with work, it's time to go to the appointment in a blink of an eye. Lin Hongwen dressed up and went out and went straight to Xiangyun Pavilion. I didn't expect him to arrive early, and He Gui arrived even earlier. The guys from Xiangyun Pavilion led him directly to the private room on the second floor, and as soon as the door opened, He Gui immediately got up to greet him. Lin Hongwen was flattered and saluted him, and at the same time found that Yao Shunchang was actually there.

"Oh, I always heard He Yao mention it before, but when I saw it today, it was really a talent", He Gui said with a smile on his face, "Come on, take a seat." ”

Lin Hongwen was polite to him as he walked inside, "Boss He has been promoted, where am I a talent." ”

"It's too much to call the boss, I think it's about age, I'm afraid I have to be from your uncle's generation, why don't you just call me Uncle He?" He Gui said.

"Brother is right, it's still called uncle, it sounds kind", Yao Shunchang said helpfully.

"Since Boss He doesn't mind, then I'll climb high, Uncle He", Lin Hongwen shouted obediently.

"That's right", He Gui said, "I have heard He Yao learn that you manage several shops by yourself, and you are still in order." It's amazing to be able to do this at such a young age. ”

"It was the boss who lifted me", Lin Hongwen said with a smile, "I was also stubborn at the beginning." ”

"The boss appreciates you, and you have to be really capable", He Gui beckoned to the guy, "Everyone is ready, it's time to serve." ”

Lin Hongwen pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Don't you have to wait for Miss He?" ”

"What we're going to talk about today is all about business, her daughter's family doesn't understand this, and she will inevitably feel bored when she comes, so I didn't let her come." He Gui explained.

"Yes, my eldest niece is most afraid of being bored, and if we come together today, I'm just afraid that I will be bored with her," Yao Shunchang echoed.

Serious business, Lin Hongwen couldn't help sneering in his heart, and said with a serious face, "Miss He told me that she is also very interested in doing business, and she also wants to learn foreign language to do business with foreigners. ”

"This girl, these words have never been said to me", He Gui poured a cup of tea for Lin Hongwen, "I didn't expect her to talk to you." ”

"It's just small talk," Lin Hongwen said with some shyness.

"My eldest niece is smart when she is young," Yao Shunchang said, "If someone is really willing to teach her these things, she can learn well if she is not even." ”

"Nonsense", He Gui planned Yao Shunchang said, "What do girls do when they learn this, they like business, and they will be over if they marry a businessman, like Lin Xian's nephew, I think it's very good." ”

Lin Hongwen hurriedly waved his hand, "How can I be worthy of Miss He." ”

"What's not worthy of this", He Gui said, "It is said that don't bully young people to be poor, Lin Xian's nephew, you have been doing things for others, and it is nothing more than insufficient capital." If you have enough money, I'm afraid your business will be bigger than ours? ”

"How can I have such great ability", Lin Hongwen said with a smile, "It's Uncle He, it's only been a few years since I came to Fu's store, and the business has been so big, which is amazing." ”

"Young and promising, not arrogant or impatient, good seedlings", Yao Shunchang praised him.

The three of them talked for a while, and the dishes were brought up one after another. He Gui sandwiched a piece of roasted sea cucumber with green onion and gave it to Lin Hongwen, "This is the housekeeping dish of Lu cuisine, eldest nephew, try it." ”

Lin Hongwen obediently put the sea cucumber into his mouth and chewed it a few times, the sea cucumber was fragrant and smooth, and the green onion was mellow, which was really good.

"It's really delicious", Lin Hongwen praised sincerely.

He Gui introduced a few more dishes, and Lin Hongwen tasted them one by one, and then praised them all. He Gui looked at him and suddenly sighed. Lin Hongwen asked puzzledly, "Uncle He, it's good, why are you sighing?" ”

"I'm a nephew, you're not worth it", He Gui patted his thigh vigorously, "These dishes may be good in the eyes of ordinary people." But in the eyes of our businessmen, it can only be regarded as commonplace. But I look at the look of the virtuous nephew and the right talent, I'm afraid that your boss hasn't even invited you to eat these dishes, right? ”

"The boss is never in arrears in money, and as for what to eat, we are up to us," Lin Hongwen explained with a smile, "I really can't blame him." ”
