Chapter 248: Showdown
Although he has become the chief shopkeeper of the capital of Xiao Gu Villa, Liu Zhong is as low-key as ever, and he is now fully capable of buying a house to live alone, but he still lives in the room behind the Baiwei Pavilion, not only him, the peach blossom class, and Shi Gui's family, these are no longer the poor people in the past, although they can't be said to be rich, but they are all well-off families, but the big guys are all in the Baiwei Pavilion, and I don't know if they like this kind of group atmosphere, or feel that the ready-made house is not lived, and it is a pity to waste it.
When Gu Qiluo and Xiao Jiangbei came to Baiwei Restaurant, they learned that Liu Zhong had gone out to inspect the shop, and now Xiao Gu Villa has more than a dozen industries in the capital, in addition to three Baiwei Pavilion, two southern goods shops, and two expensive stores, there are also two large pharmacies, two large cloth villages, a carriage and horse shop, two inns, and a spice shop.
It is hard to imagine that in less than half a year, Xiao Gu Villa will be able to lay such a deep foundation in the capital, and although these are inseparable from Gu Qiluo's strategy, they rely more on Liu Zhong's central dispatch and orderly. Even Gu Qiluo, a business genius, was deeply shocked by the old man's outstanding ability in business, and she was extremely glad that she had such a top helper. However, today, she is worried about this: a good helper is a good helper, but once a good helper wants to fight back, the consequences will be extremely strict, so strict that even she may not be able to bear it.
Originally, this kind of thing should be investigated carefully and grasp as many chips as possible, so that he can open the skylight and talk to Liu Zhong. However, Xiao Gu Villa was developing at a high speed according to the plan formulated by Gu Qiluo at this time, and it couldn't afford the delay at all. It's better to cut through the mess quickly, and once the result is unsatisfactory, even if you suffer some losses. It is also a long pain that is not as good as a short pain.
In fact, if it weren't for Gu Qiluo's unexpected pregnancy, this conversation would have taken place a month ago. It's just because of this accident, and then the symptoms of ** milk harm are also very serious, so it will be delayed to today.
Sitting in the elegant and delicate flower hall, Gu Qiluo drank tea while looking at the celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging around. The attitude is very leisurely, and there is no serious worry in her heart at all. Next to her, Xiao Jiangbei sat with a golden knife. There is not a trace of expression on the face, which is daunting.
"Don't be so murderous, beware of scaring people." Gu Qiluo finished drinking a cup of tea and moved his gaze to Xiao Jiangbei. Solemnly put forward your opinion. The voice did not fall. I heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Liu Zhong came in from outside the door, and when he saw the husband and wife, he hurriedly saluted and said: "I don't know that the Hou Ye and the owner are coming, and they have to wait for a long time, the little old man is really a sin." ”
"Nothing." Gu Qiluo smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to put the teacup on the table, and asked Liu Zhong to sit down at the next head. After Xinghua took the little girl to serve tea and snacks in person, and then went out to guard. Only then did he get straight to the point: "Mr. Liu went to Beijing with me that day, I remember that you said that you were coming to find an old man, so long time has passed, I don't know if you can find this old man?" ”
Liu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Thank you for your concern, I have found it." ”
"Oh?" Gu Qiluo didn't expect such an answer, his eyes turned around, and he smiled: "When did you find it?" Why have you never heard the old gentleman mention it? ”
"I found it soon after I entered Beijing." Liu Zhong said lightly: "It's just ...... It's a bit hard to talk to the owner, so I didn't say it. ”
"It's not good to tell me again, what's the wrong way? Let the old gentleman look forward and backward like this? Could it be that they are all the same as those people with ulterior motives in the store, so the old gentleman didn't know what kind of considerations he had, so he hid them all from me? ”
Straight into the line, without even the slightest temptation. Gu Qiluo just wanted to use such a sudden trick to break Liu Zhong's mental defense, this old guy is a stubble with excellent psychological qualities, without this trick, don't want to get any valuable clues from him at all.
Liu Zhong was really stunned, but he didn't have the slightest weakness, he just sighed: "In the end, let the owner know." In fact, you have a lot of things to worry about in the house, and I heard that there is good news now, these messy things really shouldn't let you worry about them. ”
"It turns out that the old gentleman is all for my sake." Gu Qiluo said lightly, there was no trace of anger in these words, it seemed to be extremely calm, but she was full of doubts in her heart, and secretly said that the old guy is so calm, but is he really kind? Or is this deliberately used as an excuse?
Liu Zhong said with a smile: "I understand the owner's thoughts, but the little old man swears to the sky, if there is the slightest black heart that is not good for the owner, discipline me to thunder and split thousands of arrows through the heart and die without a good death." ”
This can be regarded as a very strict poisonous oath, even Xiao Jiangbei, who has always been doing the background board on the side, was terrified, although Gu Qiluo was deeply influenced by atheism since he was a child, he also understood the importance that the ancients attached importance to oaths, if Liu Zhong had not been so bad that pus came out of the top of his head and bleeding from the soles of his feet, he should not have joked about such a poisonous oath.
Because she thought about it, she said with a straight face: "The old gentleman has said this, I naturally believe you." Originally, if the industry of Xiaogu Villa in the capital did not have you, it would not have reached such a thriving state. It's just that you also know my temper, if there is something in my heart, it will be really difficult to sleep, and now that I have a body again, I can't help but meditate more and more. There are no outsiders in the house today, so why don't the old gentleman simply solve this doubt for the two of us, how about it? ”
Liu Zhong smiled bitterly: "It's not that the little old man refuses to confess to the owner, it's really a matter...... There is some involvement with the owner, if you know what happened, I am afraid that you and Hou Ye will be in a dilemma. It's better to let Xiao Lao'er let it go, and in the end, I will bear the victory or loss, and it has nothing to do with the Hou Ye's family. ”
"It's a fool." Gu Qiluo said unceremoniously: "Old man, you are so shrewd, why are you fascinated by the authorities?" You are the general manager of my Xiao Gu Villa in the capital, everything you do is inextricably linked to Xiao Gu Villa, and my father and I are the owners of Xiao Gu Villa, is this kind of relationship something you can get rid of if you want to get rid of it in the future? ”
Liu Zhong's face changed, and it took a long time before he sighed, nodded and said, "What the owner said is right, it's Xiao Lao'er who takes it for granted." That being the case...... Xiao Lao'er is willing to let Xian Xiao Gu take the position of the general manager of the villa, and ask the owner to find someone to take over. ”
Gu Qiluo didn't expect Liu Zhong to be so straightforward, and couldn't help but be shocked: "What is the matter?" Can you give up such a mess of your career? But...... Something to do with our wife? ”
The last sentence is purely a temptation, because Gu Qiluo can't think of any reason, so that Liu Zhong would rather give up all his career and hide it from himself, since the other party said that he was involved with himself, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to do it, then only the family members could meet this point, and the people in Gu Fuzhong did not have any big business, although Lin Zhengnan was his brother-in-law, he would not make Liu Zhong embarrassed to the point of keeping his mouth shut like this, so that only Fang Qionghua, who was said to have a big industry outside the mansion, met this condition, after all, the infighting in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei was little known, And the other party is his nominal mother-in-law, it is normal for Liu Zhong to have concerns.
Sure enough, as soon as this sentence was thrown out, Liu Zhong's face immediately changed, and he lost his voice: "The owner already knows?" It can't be, you ...... How do you know? ”
It turned out to be really because of that woman.
Gu Qiluo's surprise was not trivial, she couldn't help but look at her husband, but she saw that Xiao Jiangbei was also surprised, but she immediately regained her normal complexion and nodded lightly to her. So the ** milk understood what her husband meant: cheat him, continue to cheat, cheat hard.
With her husband's support, Gu Qiluo's heart settled down, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, she said indifferently: "I know far more things than you think." To be honest, I didn't expect that after so many years, you would still be able to catch up with the capital, which is really heartfelt. Although it was a fraud, it was based on the clues revealed in Liu Zhong's words, not empty words, so Gu Qiluo was still very confident in his move.
Sure enough, seeing that Liu Zhong's face immediately changed, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course." The revenge of the killer is not shared, I escaped to death that day, and hid in the countryside of Liaodong for four years, and I have survived so far, just to seek justice, not to say that it is just the capital, that is, she hid to the ends of the earth, and the poor and blue fell into the Yellow Spring, I turned into a ghost, and I must ask for her life. ”
Gu Qiluo has always been a pampered and unfazed character, and his concentration is outstanding; Not to mention Xiao Jiangbei, he is a character who does not change his face in the midst of thousands of troops. However, it is such a couple with the strongest determination in the world, after Liu Zhong said this, they were all shocked and their faces changed dramatically.
"Wait...... Wait, what do you say? Kill...... Revenge for the Killer? In the end, Xiao Jiangbei's concentration was superior, and he quickly regained his calm, but his stammering words revealed that his heart was far less fast than his face, and he was still in a mess.
Liu Zhong looked at the couple blankly and muttered, "You ...... Don't you know everything? How? Ah! The old man suddenly slapped his thigh and said angrily: "I hunt geese all day long, but now I am pecked by geese, it turns out that the owner is cheating me." ”
"Hey, hey, hey! What is your attitude, sir? Who is the wild goose and who is beaten by you all day long? Gu Qiluo also quickly came back to his senses and knocked on the table, as if dissatisfied.
Liu Zhong smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, I used the wrong words, and I ask the Hou Ye and the owner to forgive me, you are wise and intelligent, old man, I have been playing with people all my life, and in the end it will be yin...... In the end, it still appeared in front of the Hou Ye and the owner. The old man originally wanted to say that the boat was capsized in the gutter, but after thinking about it, if he said so, wouldn't he compare the Hou Ye and the owner to the gutter? Well, it's worse than a wild goose, and the sin is one more degree. (To be continued......)
