Chapter 9: A Difficult Beginning

After sending the two women home, he drove to school alone, and he wanted to go to the school to see what he wanted from his alma mater; He was anxious for his future, and his women had pointed out his worries, and it was not his merit to let women worry about him as a man in charge. How could he let his women worry about him, no, of course not!

He drove the car into the campus and went directly to his good friend Xu Peng. Xu Peng was his classmate, had a very good relationship, almost talked about everything, and stayed in school after graduating from university. In fact, he hasn't seen Xu Peng for a long time, since he has been busy recently, especially when his father is sick and hospitalized, he often runs between Beijing and Tianjin, not to mention meeting, even talking on the phone is becoming less and less. This time, he didn't say hello in advance, ready to surprise the other party. I couldn't knock on the office door, only to realize that today was Sunday, so I went straight to his dormitory, but saw a beautiful girl who was about to go out, in his eyes, it was not bad, and the temperament was better, of course he didn't stare at people! Xu Peng was a little overjoyed by his arrival, and he is also very idle now, in his own words, that is, "so idle that he is about to lay eggs". made some jokes moderately, and Li Mengze began to consciously introduce the other party into his own topic.

"Recently, how are the old classmates, have you become a character?" Hu asked with a smile.

"It's still like that, it's only a few years after graduation, who can do anything, but some classmates have already opened a company, and it's a joint venture of several people. Don't worry, you kid, I finally found a stable job, and I'll talk about it for two years! ”

Xu Peng was actually quite worried about him, knowing that this guy was not happy, and he had been changing jobs after graduation, and he didn't listen to him after being persuaded several times. This time, he finally found a good job, and it has been half a year since he became a regular employee, so he was afraid that he would have a temperament again, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"How are you at school, it's okay." Li Mengze didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he changed the topic.

"It's not like that! I still wanted to take the postgraduate examination two years ago, but now I don't want to take the exam more and more, and I have read a lot of books, but they have nothing to do with the postgraduate entrance examination; People are also lazy, I am really afraid that I will get fat after a while, and it is getting more and more difficult to get up and exercise every day. Xu Peng is also full of discomfort, he has taken the postgraduate examination twice, and each time it is a little worse; The school stipulates that employees who have not graduated from graduate school cannot participate in teaching, so he is still doing management work. At the university, the administrators were treated far worse than the teachers, which made him more and more depressed.

"It's not easy, others can't ask for it, you don't have to go to work today, how good!" Nonsense.

"How can you not go to work, it's just an excuse to solve the problem of men and women and skip work." Xu Peng said lightly.

"And this good thing, the school is becoming more and more humane, who was that girl just now, how old is it? It's good. Li Mengze asked with a smile, his face was bad.

"you. It's also a stay in school, one session later than us, and it's a good person, in the management department. Working in the office of the department, it seems that there is still a future for development. "Someone feels pretty good.

"You know, we have those characters, what kind of company they run, so that I don't have to be so lonely."

Li Mengze still returned to the original topic.

"You don't know?" Xu Peng looked at him sideways, "Forget it, you have always had little contact with them." I really don't understand you, and I don't care too much about our classmates, and people often write to ask about your situation? You don't go online, and you're not net-blind! ”

"Don't talk about this, you know, in the first two years, I bumped into each other, sometimes I couldn't even pay the phone bill, and I still had the energy to die with them, and then I don't know what happened to them in the future, you also know my temper, hey, don't talk about it, let it be!" Li Mengze didn't argue either.

"Actually, I don't know exactly what they're doing. In the first two years, he could still play the role of a postman, but now he has put me aside, the specific situation is more clear to Mr. Jiang, you go and ask him. Xu Peng suggested, and he also sensed that the other party had a plan.

"Then I'll go and see our class tutor, when will you invite me to a wedding wine, and you will definitely invite me when the time comes." Li Mengze saw that he couldn't ask anything from him, so he decided to go to Teacher Jiang's place.

asked for Mr. Jiang's phone from Xu Peng, and it happened that Mr. Jiang was at home, and he didn't care whether the other party heard it was him, so he said, "I'll go to your house in a while", turned off the phone, and drove there. He still has an impression of Mr. Jiang's residence, but he thinks the stairs are too difficult to walk; He didn't bring any gifts, he just bought some fruits casually, he didn't know what Mr. Jiang liked, and he hadn't bought gifts for anyone before. I was complaining about the difficulty of walking the stairs, but I was looking forward to getting some exciting news from the teacher.

When he opened the door of Teacher Jiang's house, he recognized at a glance the teacher who had taught him for four years, but the other party was stunned for a long time, and finally under his guidance, he did not treat him as a stranger. He didn't blame his class tutor, he was one of the few students in the class who was the most unremarkable, neither mischievous nor frequent to repeat classes; Neither will he get a scholarship, nor has he been praised or criticized by the school, to put it bluntly, his performance is mediocre, like a small stone on the side of the road, and even his final graduation thesis is mediocre. So as long as he didn't hear "I don't have this student", he was satisfied, but when Mr. Jiang asked him about the situation in the years after graduation, he was a little embarrassed, not that he had done nothing in the past few years, but that he felt that almost all of them lived in Tjin, but did not come to his alma mater to visit his teachers. However, the kind teacher finally remembered something that made him happy, he sent an e-mail to the teacher in the year of graduation, there was a poem on it, which actually let the teacher remember, and said that the poem was well written, but it was just a sentence "I can't imagine that you wrote it", which made him cry and laugh.

"Teacher, our classmates in that class are all doing well!" Li Mengze didn't come to do homework, and the time was relatively late, he didn't know when the teachers would have dinner, and he had to go home early.

"Well, your realm is doing well now, and it's better off than the previous two sessions. At the end of last year, Jin Yulong co-founded a technology company and used patented technology in exchange for funds; In May this year, Wang Zhi, Liu Jian and Wang Junhe co-founded a technology company, and I heard that both companies are doing well, especially Yulong Electronics. Chen Qian has not come back from studying abroad, and the others are also good, how are you now? Teacher Jiang was obviously overzealous, and only in the end did he think of him, a student who lives in the same city, and this is not to blame him, there are thousands of college graduates now, and there can be a few who are promising, and when the students are mixed, the teacher's face will naturally shine, but those students who mix well will not necessarily buy them a box of fruit.

In fact, Li Mengze also knows that his classmates will mix well, as far as he already knows, among his classmates, more than 10 have been admitted to graduate school, and now they have graduated, and it should not be a problem to find a job, and most of the graduates have gained a foothold in the company or industry.

"Foreign-funded enterprises? Well, the salary level in T is low, only foreign companies are not bad, do a good job! "Mr. Jiang is not ignorant of the world, and he knows a lot about the society, and it is true that foreign companies are good, at least the salary is not low, and the working hours are relatively small.

The two of them talked about some family things again, because the two people didn't know each other very well, so they always stopped and talked about something that they could see and touch. In fact, Li Mengze was quite disappointed, his classmates were not too strong, the excitement in the hope did not appear, but he also miscalculated, he did not expect that a little-known company he heard today would become a strong opponent for him in the future, and develop into a large company that plays a pivotal role in the industry.

"I heard a few classmates say that they want to set up a larger company, but then I didn't believe it, but in the past few days, I have asked me to find a few people, who are led by Chen Haisheng, which may be a highlight of your session." Li Mengze was taken aback, Chen Haisheng finally couldn't help being lonely, this kid has money in his family, he studies well in school, and he performs well in other aspects, he is a powerful figure in the department - a model for boys to learn, and a prince charming in the minds of girls, all his classmates think that he will not be mediocre for a lifetime, and he can't imagine that he really wants to make a difference.

"Actually, you're good at planning, but you're a bit of a loser in engineering, and you don't like this." Seeing that he was pondering, Mr. Jiang continued, obviously with the intention of soliciting.

"And what do you have for him?" Li Mengze pretended to be confused, he had the heart to spy on more information.

"There are not many, I originally wanted to recommend Xu Peng, but Xu Peng said that he didn't have a good relationship with Haisheng at the beginning, and the others only contacted Wang Zhaoyun, and there were 4 or 5 people from other worlds." Teacher Jiang knew that if he didn't come up with some real talent, this seemingly ordinary student would not be tempted.

"Then what do you say about Zhaoyun, isn't Zhaoyun in Bjing now?" Li Mengze doesn't care about others, but he values Wang Zhaoyun, and the relationship between the two of them is not bad.

"Zhaoyun doesn't want to go, he did a good job in B-capital, he doesn't want to go to G-dong, how are you?" Teacher Jiang paid his attention and asked directly. In fact, he also values this student more, although he does not perform well in school, everyone has their own characteristics, as long as he is given the opportunity, he may soar.

"I still know that it's okay to keep it, but it's not enough to create. Let me go and charge, it will definitely not work, it is not suitable for my character. Haisheng had a lot of problems in the early days of their business, I had no experience, and I couldn't go into battle to fight. Li Mengze hurriedly refused, joke, what did he do, there is no possibility.

Teacher Jiang seemed to agree with the words, and didn't say anything more, it is true, this student wants to have experience or no experience, he wants to have no connections, he hides behind the scenes and makes ideas, if he can agree, what if he can't. Besides, planning is the business of shareholders, what can he do as a part-time worker!

Li Mengze didn't gain nothing, at least he felt that time was pressing, and he couldn't slow down. He didn't want to tell the teacher that he also intended to start a company, and the teacher wouldn't believe him, and besides, it also meant stealing food from his old classmates, so he decided to do it quietly. Now the key is to get a few people, he has already planned, women are not allowed to participate in his company's affairs, they can only help him come up with big ideas, and before the power is formed, he has to hide behind the scenes. He circled a few people, he thought that Li Yudong would do it with him, Xu Peng was not far from ten, Wang Zhaoyun had a good relationship with him, but he was not necessarily able to move. His own strength can't be explained to him, since he can refuse the invitation of a powerful person recognized by everyone, that is to say, his work is quite good, fortunately, his relationship with Xu Peng is better, so let Xu Peng convince him. In this way, he has 4 people, plus the ones brought up by the roots, he should be able to boil the pot.

Li Mengze's good fortune soon came to an end, because he discovered a few people he had met beforeβ€”people he had seen in G-state. He immediately stopped the car, removed the window, and waved to a guy who was standing next to his bed.

"You're already in my house?" Li Mengze asked with a cold face.

"Yes." The other party replied simply, without the slightest emotion.

|β€œ How many people are in my family? ”

"5, 2 girls, 3 of us, the boss is there. There are two people down there, including me. ”

"How's my home going?"

"Two bedrooms, one large and one small, a study, a bathroom, and a kitchen."

"People are not harmed!"

"No, the two young ladies are very good, the calm skills of the two young ladies are very good, and the boss admires them very much."

"Send a letter." Li Mengze took out a pen, wrote a few lines, folded both sides in half, and handed them to the other party. Soon a man came out of the corner, and without saying a word, picked up the letter and went upstairs.

"Brother, your surname? Come in and sit. Li Mengze said simply.

"Don't be surnamed Li, I'll still stand." The man smiled and refused.

"Don't talk nonsense, how many people do you want to see you?" Li Mengze's voice was low and could not be refused.

"Thank you, brother Li Lan." The man was stunned for a moment and sat in the co-pilot's seat.

Li Mengze closed his eyes, leaned back in the driver's seat, ignored Li Lan, and left him alone in a daze. After a gram of time or so, five people walked out of the gate of the community one after another, they looked out of the door a few times, and only after making sure that there was no one did they separate the two and walk towards the car, and then several other people stopped a taxi and followed Li Mengze.

"How long have you been here?" Li Mengze said to the boss with a sneer, and started the car.

"It's been almost two hours. Where have you been, let's wait so long. The boss obviously waited for nothing, and he couldn't find anything to eat or drink in the room, and he had to endure the cold eyes of the two girls.

"You guys are really bold enough, don't you know that the security in Tjin is the best in the big cities in the country, I'm afraid of you, so many men are not afraid of danger when they enter and leave the community, and they don't even have a disguise, so they are not afraid of the security guards to find out." Li Mengze sneered and said, while giving the other party a warning, "Your surname, and the one who is facing you?" ”

The boss was obviously a little shocked and a little afraid, smiled bitterly, and still replied, "My surname is Du, Du Hai, and the brother next to me is called Wang Xueli." Du Hai was a little angry, feeling that the other party didn't take them seriously, and he was also worried that the other party would rely on them.

"Let me ask you something, what was the name of the person with the knife that day, and who was it at the window? I want to know. Li Mengze continued to ask.

"You don't have to know, you already know enough." Du Hai said fiercely.

"Then tell me the one with the knife, Yu'er wants to know." Li Mengze didn't give up, he had to ask.

"What does it have to do with that little girl?" Du Hai didn't know why, but he still gave in, "He taught Shi Jun." ”

"In these years, girls are still popular, and if the old man can't ask, he was solved by a little girl." Li Mengze said with a smile, happy that his cunning plan had succeeded.

"Boss Du, didn't hurt the two girls in my room!" Li Mengze needs to keep leading the other party to speak.

"You kid talks too much nonsense, drive your car." Wang Xueli couldn't stand his rambling.

"Xueli, don't get angry, your boss hasn't spoken yet, why are you angry. It's not easy to follow a good boss, pay attention to the time you speak, and don't talk to your boss. Don't be angry with me, I'm for your good, Uncle Du won't be angry with you this time, it's because he didn't teach well, it's his responsibility, he didn't overreact, and he seems to agree with his suggestion, which is a big decision in his heart.

Several people got out of the car smoothly, Li Mengze booked two private rooms, and ordered wine and food from the waiter, while Du Hai and the others remained silent and let them arrange it. Du Hai and several people felt a little incredible, they were afraid of unconsciously obeying the other party's arrangement, and the friendliness of the other party overwhelmed them, knowing that this person did not use means in the hotel, and several people were indeed a little confused about this. But they were already riding a tiger and had to gamble.

"Xueli, you go to a table with the other brothers, let Shi Jun come over, remember, don't drink too much, talk less, you have a strong southern accent." Li Mengze arranged, like their boss; Wang Xueli looked at Du Hai, who nodded. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.

"You guys are really good enough, you actually stared at T Jin, and you don't want to think about the consequences. Tjin is the best public security city in China, and countless cases of all kinds are cracked every year, and many people have fallen into Tjin. I don't know how you got mixed up, since I saw you, Boss Du, count how many times I have the chance to kill you! While eating, Li Mengze hit the opponent's self-confidence, and the art of war was "attacking the heart".

"Not necessarily, if you dare to make a move, you can escape our palms?" Du Hai was clearly unwilling to admit his disadvantage.

"Hmph, don't say far, it's in this hotel, if I leave by the waiter, you don't have a problem, as long as I make a sound, it is estimated that you won't even be able to get out of this hotel." I don't dare to say in other cities, since Atjin City, if the hotel doesn't have the courage to catch a few little robbers, he won't want to keep the guests. Li Mengze continued to exert pressure. Although he said something exaggerated, the law and order situation in Tsu City is indeed very good, there are plainclothes police everywhere, and people are more daring to fight criminals.

"Oh, thanks, why don't you do it?" Du Hai said lightly.

"Why, maybe I'm interested in you." Li Mengze said with a sneer.

"Haha, it's strange, the first time I met it, the brothers were flattered." Du Hai was obviously surprised and didn't believe his ears.

"After I came back from Gzhou, I found an old Zen master to make a divination." Li Mengze ignored the other party and said to himself.

"Oh, brother believes this, what does the hexagram say?"

"I asked about the fate of my life, but the old Zen master told me that what is now is the key, saying that the barrier is very important to me, and whether I can make a difference in my life depends on whether I can sell this barrier."

"Oh, how do you get there?" Du Hai stared at him, and the other two also showed a wary expression.

"I thought it was very simple, in a modern legal society, it would be okay to arrest you and hand you over to the police; But the old Zen master shook his head and gave me two words. Li Mengze's demeanor seemed to be reminiscing and contemplating, but he was actually deceiving people.

"What two words?" Du Hai has now fallen into someone's conspiracy.

"Early, good." Li Mengze spit out two words.

"Early, good?" Shi Jun repeated, a little uncontrollable.

"Yes, the drying is not late, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and you are good." Li Mengze's face was expressionless, serious and serious.

The room was quiet, everyone was pondering, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

"I invite you here today because I have a few questions to ask. First, how do you know about the negotiations between us and Wansheng, and who told you? Second, how did you find my house, don't tell me you found it yourself. While the other party was still figuring out, he raised his own questions. I don't know much about the rules of the way, but I know that the benefits are mutual, and how much you benefit me, how much I will pay you. Although everyone is the Lord, the Lord has big and small, and the interests are important. I don't like to guess, in fact, few people know about Wansheng Company, so don't fool me. ”

"Since the brothers know that there are rules on the road, they know our difficulties, so why bother the brothers?" Du Haidao, his tone was weak.

"Rules are one thing, interests are another. I know my strength, you are not afraid, I am afraid, so I have to figure this out. In fact, it is not difficult to figure out this matter, there are not many people in Wansheng Company who have seen us, your Excellency wants me to cast a wider net and implicate more people? Originally, if you didn't look for me, I would have gone to you, but now that you are here, this is not exactly the word "early", and I also correspond to the word "good", Your Excellency, don't make it difficult for me. Li Mengze's tone was very hard, not leaving room for the other party to buffer, he knew that Du Hai was the key to solving the problem.

"We have people at Wansheng Company." Shi Jun looked at Du Hai and said when he saw that the boss did not object.

"How strong are you, and which high-level figure in Wansheng Company has contact with you, is it Liu Fangsi or Chen Xiaochong? Don't tell me it's Chairman Ye Mingwen. Li Mengze obviously didn't believe their excuses, and sneered and said, "Don't let me check." ”

"How can we climb above them?" Li Lan said with a smile.

"Gao Pan? What's so great about them, I'm not playing with them yet. You're still trying to fool me. Li Mengze said with a sneer.

"Chen Haili told us." Shi Jun gritted his teeth, then lowered his head.

"Is it Chen Xiaochong's daughter? I can't tell you that you still have a relationship with her! No, you're hiding something. Li Mengze was a little surprised.

"It's nothing, I've told you everything." Du Hai said with a wry smile.

"It's nothing, what is the relationship between Chen Haisheng and Chen Xiaochong?" Li Mengze said lightly, in fact, he should have thought of Chen Haisheng a long time ago, he didn't know how big his family was before, he only knew that he was rich, and he didn't take it to heart. However, Mr. Jiang's words in the afternoon made him feel strange, Chen Haisheng's family has money, so why didn't he start a company immediately after graduation, why did he have to wait until now. Of course, he didn't expect Wansheng Company to go up; Now Shi Jun mentioned Chen Haili, which suddenly stimulated his imagination.

"Do you know Chen Haisheng?" Shi Jun raised his head in surprise.

"I have been a classmate for four years, with both ability and political integrity, and I am chic and generous. Tell me about the two questions I asked, don't let me guess, I beg you. Li Mengze was a little reluctant to answer Shi Jun's question.

It turned out that Du Hai and the others found Li Mengze, and it was Shi Jun who Chen Haili found, and Shi Jun and Chen Haili knew each other. Chen Haili somehow learned from her father that Li Mengze and the two of them came to negotiate, and she happened to know that one of her cousin's classmates was named Li Mengze, so she asked Shi Jun and them to find out, mainly because she was a little curious. However, it was Chen Haisheng's credit that Du Hai and the others came to T so easily to find Li Mengze's home, otherwise, they would not have come to T Jin at all.

Li Mengze poured a glass of wine for each of the three people, and then said with tea instead of wine: "Thank you for your honesty, let the brothers save a lot of heart, I can't drink, so I use tea instead of wine, I salute you, you have come from afar, hard work, brothers' people, the younger brother is also very admired, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

Du Hai and the others looked at each other, at a loss, they were completely confused by Li Mengze, several people had already planned for the worst, but they didn't expect such an ending, and they were stunned for a while.

"Everyone, because today is special, I can't accompany you for a long time, brothers can go back to G State immediately, you can also take a look at T Jin, give me the account number, I will first give you 400,000 yuan, and when I go to G State next week, we will continue to cooperate." He stood up and said to a few robbers who were at a loss. He decided to entrap them, prop up the gates, and establish his own underworld forces.

These few words laid the foundation of the Li clan's underworld power, which constituted a key part of the Li clan's huge power, of course, at this time, no one realized what impact it would have on them. And Li Mengze hurried home, today is indeed a special day, there are still two women waiting for him at home, he already has a trace of regret, regret that he didn't tell his women earlier that he was safe, and they shouldn't have worried about him!

Sure enough, two women were waiting for him at home, and when they saw him return, they stood up almost at the same time, and snuggled up in his arms almost at the same time. Although there is not a trace of words, it is indeed better to be silent than to be silent at this time. "Yun girl, you are really good today. Quickly call the eldest sister and tell them that the matter in Gzhou has been completely resolved. ”
