There is no good feast, no one is perfect, and the air is filled with tension and solemnity.

This is the problem that Zhou Chen found after coming to Zhao's house.

The retro building, the open door, the bodyguards in black suits that continue from the door to the living room on both sides, and the large firewood pile erected in the courtyard, which is burning, and the hot oil that is boiling in the iron pot while steaming, two old men wearing Tang costumes and holding Tang knives are standing on both sides of the oil pot, looking at Zhou Chen who walked in from the door with a smile on his face.

"Over the Knife Mountain!"

"Whoa!"

Two dazzling Tang knives were set horizontally in the air, and the two Tang knives looked dazzling and fearful under the glow of the setting sun and the burning firewood.

Zhou Chen didn't know what he was going to do, so he couldn't help but clench his fists vigilantly, which obviously had the flavor of rivers and lakes.

"Good!"

But soon Zhou Chen let go of his fist and made a decision, that is, people let themselves live, of course, when they say anything, they have to weigh it, these people are obviously full of arrogance, don't look at them smiling at you one by one, in the end, do you want to stab you to death with a knife, then you have to ask themselves.

Zhou Chen crossed the knife and came to the front of the oil pot.

"Withdraw the knife!"

"Haha, Zhou Shaoli, please." A middle-aged man with a face full of meat, a big waist and a big belly, walking like a male duck, and a little similar to Zhao Ling, first commanded the two old men with knives, and then laughed loudly at Zhou Chen: "Zhou Shao's visit to the cold house is simply full of brilliance." ”

"You are Zhao Ling's father?"

"Yes, my name is Zhao Zhen."

"Hello."

"Haha, please inside."

"Please."

Zhou Chen and Zhao Zhen were polite to each other, and then they entered the living room together, and as soon as they entered, a dense fragrance of flowers wafted in the wind, only to see a circle of flower beds in the middle of the entire living room, which were planted with flowers of various colors, as if they could be moved, and there were also wheels underneath, which could be pushed freely.

At the head of the living room, there is a tablet of the gods, which reads: "Three handfuls of half-incense".

This tablet is very strange, Zhou Chen couldn't help but take a few more looks, but this couldn't escape Zhao Zhen's eyelids, which was obviously a human spirit, he introduced with a smile: "Haha, this is the rule of the rivers and lakes, don't mind." ”

Obviously, this is people's faith, so it's hard to ask.

"You may be seated."

"Sit."

Zhou Chen hugged his fist at Zhao Zhen and sat on the chair next to him, and someone hurriedly came up to serve tea, and then Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Haha, Zhou Shao, I won't beat around the bush with you, just go straight to the point, I invited you to come just to talk to you, is it possible for our Zhao family and your Zhou family to cooperate?" ”

Zhou Chen glanced at Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the main seat, and said, "Then it depends on which aspect of cooperation." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, signaling that he understood, and at the same time frowned, looking embarrassed.

"Oh, this, I don't know how to say it, no one knows my Zhao Zhen's name on the rivers and lakes, no one knows it, but when it comes to doing business and doing business, this is why your Zhou family is better than our Zhao family, I want to do business with your Zhou family."

"I don't know, what business does the head of the Zhao family want to do?"

"Hehe, I'm a rough person, just think about what business you can do when you get money, I'm not afraid of Zhou Shao's jokes, we are restructuring recently, and there are many places where you need Zhou Shao to guide you."

"I don't know what you mean by the Zhao family master?" Zhou Chen could tell that he had something in his words.

"In that case, listen to me a story."

"Okay."

Zhou Chen made a deaf look, and listened carefully to Zhao Zhen's story about them.

It turns out that on the tablet, the three and a half fingers enshrined have their special connotations, and the meaning expressed is benevolence, loyalty, chivalry, and benevolence.

It refers to four stories that are famous in history. They are the decline of Zuo Bo Tao's horns in the Warring States Period, and there is a very famous idiom, that is, the friend of Zuo Yang, which is a metaphor for the friend of life and death. Liu Guanzhang during the Three Kingdoms period, the one hundred and eight generals of the Water Margin, and the stories of Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao and Shan Xiongxin.

When Zhou Chen heard this, he couldn't help but learn that the Zhao family was actually an ancient gang, and it used to have a very famous name - Hongmen.

They are a branch of Hongmen back then, now called Zhaomen, but due to continuous development, they have already been very different from the original Hongmen, that is, they do business are all legal business, but in recent years, due to the lack of reasonable management, resulting in serious losses, at this time Zhou Chen threw an olive branch to them.

So some people from Zhao Men finally decided to cooperate with Zhou Chen to do business together.

And the one before was a knife, a fire or something, and it wasn't what Zhou Chen thought, these people didn't give themselves a Hongmen banquet, but a welcome ceremony according to the ancient rules of the sect.

Zhou Chen only learned later that this welcome ceremony is the most grand, that is, to show the guests that we sincerely welcome your arrival.

Of course, these are all later words, and let's get down to business.

The Zhao family is still a family that really has some connections, and it has a large number of people, compared with the so-called first gang in Jinhai now, the Sky Wolf Gang, it is like the Zhao family is an adult and the Sky Wolf Gang is still a child who has not grown up.

"Okay, since the head of the Zhao family thinks so highly of me, then we cooperate happily." This is an exchange of interests, it can be said that the two are borrowing from each other, Zhou Chen picked up the teacup and touched a cup with Zhao Zhen, and drank the tea inside.

"Haha, serve." With Zhao Zhen's order, the wine and food that had been prepared outside were brought over by some beautiful girls who were tall and fair-faced in waiter clothes, and all kinds of dishes rushed in for a while.

"Come on, Zhou Shao, please go to the dining room to chat."

"You're welcome."

Zhou Chen and Zhao Zhen were polite and did not postpone it anymore, seeing these delicacies of the mountains and seas that they usually can't see, he was indeed a little hungry, so he sat at the big round table next to the living room under the guidance of Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen poured Zhou Chen and his own cup full of wine, and said: "I hope our business will be prosperous in the future." ”

"It's booming."

"!"

"!"

……

When Zhou Chen came out of Zhao's house, it was already the middle of the moon, and it was pitch black, because he had drunk a lot of wine in Zhao's house just now, so he was full of alcohol.

If you drink too much, you will definitely not be able to drive, because the food is a little supportive, and I want to walk alone and digest it, so I refused Zhao Zhen to send a driver to send him back, so Zhou Chen touched his stomach and swayed along the road in the direction of Zhou's house.

When he came to Zhao's house today, he realized how wise he had made this choice, these people may not be so good at doing business, but they are still quite good at finding out the news.

In addition, they can help deal with some things that are inconvenient for them to come forward, and some things in the secret can be handed over to them to do, which is very suitable.

The Zhou family is now the number one wealthy family in Jinhai, if you don't want to become like the Bai family and the Sima family, you still have some secret means.

If the Bai family and the Sima family hadn't had too deep contact with the political and military circles, maybe they would have supported an organization that served them or some kind of stick faction.

And the Zhou family doesn't seem to have any connections in either the political or military circles now, and the only people they know are the overlords, but after the last incident, they also made it very clear that it was just a transaction.

You treat our people, then we will definitely pay you.

That's all, the subject-verb distinction is very clear.

"Toot ......"

"Hey, is there anything wrong with Tang Cheng?"

"You'll go back to Kyoto tomorrow."

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Zhou Chen heard Tang Cheng's words, he knew that something must have happened, otherwise he would not have called him, and he still made such an opening statement.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that someone is looking for you."

"Looking for me? Who is it? ”

"Anyway, you'll be back sooner tomorrow, I'll hang up first, someone called me."

After saying that, Tang Cheng hurriedly hung up the phone, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel a little strangely tight, this guy didn't look like something was going on just now.

So why do you want to go to Kyoto tomorrow?

These days, he also feels that something is abnormal, and Kyoto is like a stagnant water, and there is not a trace of waves on the surface.

But Zhou Chen knew that such a calm and unwavering thing was really fatal.

Zhou Chen has always believed in a sentence, the wolf will hide itself in a dark place before attacking, a pair of ghostly eyes silently watch you, as long as you show a flaw, it will not hesitate to rush up, and then give you a fatal blow.

"Didi ......"

The sound of the horn sounded behind him, and a red Ferrari sports car slowly drove behind him, the window was rolled down, and Zhou Haiqing shouted to Zhou Chen, who was contemplative on the side of the road: "Brother Chen." ”

Zhou Chen couldn't help but retract his thoughts when he was called like this, turned his head to see Zhou Haiqing, walked over and asked, "Why did you come here?" ”

Zhou Haiqing smiled: "Didn't I go out to play, I just passed by here and saw you walking around on the road alone, you were drinking, right?" Do you want me to send you back first? ”

Zhou Chen said: "You don't go back now?" ”

Zhou Haiqing smiled mysteriously and said, "Hehe, I still have a show in the evening, why don't we go together, it is said that someone will open the market tonight, I am not planning to go over." ”

Zhou Chen glanced at him and asked, "Open?" What to open? ”

Zhou Haiqing opened the car door and said, "Let's go, let Brother Chen take a look at it tonight, it will definitely satisfy you, and you will see the blood gushing." ”

Zhou Chen got into the car in disbelief, watching him drive the car up the mountain, and couldn't help but be interested.

In the past, I always heard people say that on the mountain road here, as long as there is a large group of speeding people playing there at night, and the local traffic police department is very miserable.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Haiqing drove the car fast, driving on the road like bullets, and some drivers were surprised to park their cars on the side of the road and let him go first, if there was a car accident, it would be worth the loss.

"I said, what are you doing with your car so fast?"

"It's not about experiencing the thrill of flying cars."

"You don't want to live anymore?" Zhou Chen was furious after hearing this, and slapped Zhou Haiqing's head, Zhou Haiqing was slapped by Zhou Chen, and he only laughed for a while, so he had to reduce the speed of the car.

Walking slowly towards the top of the mountain, the more you go up the mountain, the more you can see more and more luxury cars parked on both sides of the road, as if it were a driving show.

For a time, there are countless famous cars, and you can't usually see such a scene in the urban area, because most of these cars are supercars, and they are speeding left and right when they foot the accelerator, and the throttle is like thunder, which is very disturbing to the people, and basically will not appear in the city center in a concentrated manner.

Zhou Haiqing's arrival attracted the attention of many people, obviously they were all very familiar, someone whistled loudly at him, the car had just arrived at the place and had not been parked, there were two girls dressed as little sisters, one of whom came over with a beer bottle in his hand and knocked on the car window.

"Knock Knock ......"

"Come out, come out, you're late, these two bottles of wine are punishment."

Zhou Haiqing was obviously very familiar with these two girls, opened the car door, took the wine bottle and finished the wine, and the two sisters were talking to Zhou Chen there.

"Sample, who are you? I haven't seen you before. The tone was very impolite, ruffian, and took out a box of women's cigarettes from the butt pocket of her short skirt that was as short as her buttocks, lit it for herself, and then spit out a provocative puff of cigarette to Zhou Chen in front of her, looking Zhou Chen up and down from time to time, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

Being molested by beautiful women, Zhou Chen has always been unmindful.

At this time, a black Zhou Chen's unnamed sports car came up from the foot of the mountain, causing countless people to cheer and scream.

It's like some people screaming like nymphomaniacs when they see their idols.

There was also a person Zhou Chen knew very well in the car, and it was a woman.
