Chapter 354, Meeting the Old Man in a Foreign Land (II)
Next, You Fang and Hua Youxian ate more slowly, and ordered another stuffed skin, and after the man and woman led the children to eat, they went out and drove away, and Hua Youxian also walked out of the restaurant. You Fang sat there and muttered to himself--The car is not bad, which one is this?
The man's name is Cao Jin, like Chen Jun, he is from the twelve-phase rivers and lakes, he is about forty years old this year, he has practiced kung fu since he was a child, he is very strong, and he looks good, You Fang has known him when he was in Beijing, and he has not seen him for more than two years.
Hua Youxian went out for a whole day, and returned to the hotel where he and You Fang stayed at more than nine o'clock in the evening. Hua Youxian found out a lot of information this day, Cao Jin's name is Zeng Zhaoguo now, and he is the legal representative of a trading company. The woman's name is Sun Mingqin, she is Chinese New Year's Eve three years old today, and she has a daughter named Ah Fang.
Sun Mingqin's ex-husband Wan Wei is the former chairman of the trading company, and he died in an accident on the outskirts of Dunhuang more than two months ago, leaving behind an orphan daughter and a widow, and the company's operation was also in trouble for a while. In fact, Wanwei is very rich, and the inheritance is enough for this mother and daughter to live without worrying about food and clothing for a lifetime, and the asset situation and cash flow of the trading company are also very good, but Sun Mingqin is not familiar with business and does not know how to operate, so he is at a loss for a while, and he is already thinking about reselling the company or simply closing it.
However, at this time, Wanwei's "former friend", a man who claimed to be named Zeng Zhaoguo, came to Dunhuang, and he heard the news of Wanwei's death and came to mourn. He wept bitterly in front of Wanwei's grave, and in front of Sun Mingqin and Ah Fang, he also showed a completely caring and comforting attitude.
Since Wanwei's death, it is rare to have such a real friend come to the door, and he has provided all kinds of help as much as possible, he assisted Sun Mingqin in taking care of the funeral, and sent several customers who took the opportunity to play Lai to the door to ask for debts, and pursued the payment due from the trading company. Sun Mingqin encountered a great change when she was at a loss, and the appearance of Zeng Zhaoguo made her find the backbone, as if she saw the light of hope in the gloom.
Needless to say, everything seemed to happen so naturally, Zeng Zhaoguo was tall, handsome, gentle and funny, not only full of manly charm but also very talented, with his help, the business of the trading company was back on track. Sun Mingqin gradually not only completely entrusted the company to Zeng Zhaoguo, but also entrusted him with the hope of the second half of his life.
After listening to this, You Fang patted Hua Youxian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Xian, you really deserve to be a gold medal gossip bag to inquire, you can inquire about things so clearly in one day's work, talent, what a talent"
Hua Youxian blinked his eyes and said, "Brother You, don't be in a hurry to praise me first, you said that person is your friend, but what kind of routine is he playing?" ā
The corners of You Fang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a slight sneer: "The white party that fishes the red line, and I will tell you a story about the ninth-rate means - in the Republic of China, there was an officer who died in the distance, and his family was at a loss. Since ancient times, playing this hand has been the threshold of extinction, and whoever does this on the rivers and lakes has always been despised."
Hua Youxian frowned and asked, "Brother You, how could your friend be this kind of person?" Now that you've met it, are you going to tear it down? ā
You Fang's brows also furrowed: "This threshold has always been the most damaged, and this kind of shed is also the most difficult to dismantle, people are willing to do so, until the end of the loss of people and money, it is difficult to understand the kind persuasion of others, this threshold frame is natural, there is no flaw on the surface." I also made friends with everyone in the three religions and nine streams back then, and the rivers and lakes were mixed, so I had to guard my half of my conscience. ā¦ā¦ I'm just a little strange, how can Lao Cao play this hand? And according to you, he has completely succeeded, he should have left a long time ago, why is he still here? ā
If it is really a means of dismantling the white party by fishing for the red line, Cao Jin has everything in Sun Mingqin's hands, and he can completely sweep away the money, and his identity is well disguised and very clean, no one has anywhere to find him afterwards, and this vote can be enough. Cao Jin has known Sun Mingqin for two months, and he became the legal representative of the trading company a month ago.
Hua Youxian said again: "I still inquired about the situation, but I am not very clear and not very sure, and I haven't had time to elaborate on it just now." It is said that Wanwei is not a good thing, and his ostensible identity is a legitimate businessman, and he secretly does some shady business. There was once a person in the Tao who offended him, and then he died in an unknown way, and he himself eventually had an accident, I am afraid that there is really a problem. ā
You Fang nodded and said: "This is really valuable news, not a boring spitter asking about me tomorrow I will meet Lao Cao for a while, since he didn't leave, it is likely that he will be involved in these things." An Zuojie seems to have controlled a gang here, such a small place of such a big size, it is inevitable that it will be inextricably linked, and it is difficult to find out any clues. ā
ā¦ā¦
The next morning, Cao Jin came out of the office and came to the parking lot and was about to open the door, when he suddenly heard someone next to him greet him with a smile and whispered: "Old Cao, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Just this "old Cao" made Cao Jin secretly excited, but no one here knew his original name. His shoulders shrunk and his back tensed, and his body bowed down slightly, this is a posture of luck ready to attack at any time, but his tone is very calm and he replied with a smile: "Who?" My surname is Zeng, did you recognize the wrong person? ā
Cao Jin slowly turned around with a smile as he spoke, with a harmless expression of humans and animals, but if you look closely at his movements, you can find that when he turns around, he slowly bends his knees and spins his heels, and he can stealthily raise his feet at any time.
You Fang's figure floated back a few meters away, waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, I happened to see you when I passed by Dunhuang, and I just said hello to my old friend." I should call you Mr. Zeng now, right? Mr. Zeng, hello."
"Little wanderer? It's you" Cao Jin saw clearly who the person who spoke, his shoulders loosened, and the person stood up straight, but he couldn't hide some nervousness in his tone: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I've mixed well in the past two years, why did you come to Dunhuang?" What a coincidence."
You Fang smiled: "It's a coincidence, I'm here to do some small business, and it's a great joy in life to meet old acquaintances in a foreign country, so I came over to say hello." If Mr. Zeng is free at noon, can I invite you to have a cup of tea? ā
Cao Jin smiled heartily, but listening carefully to this laughter, he was a little weak and astringent, and said generously on the surface: "What kind of tea do you drink?" How can I ask you to ask me to be the east, find a place to have a few glasses of wine and catch up. ā
He asked You Fang to get in the car, and You Fang also looked unsuspecting and sat in the passenger seat, and came to a local luxury hotel. There were only two people, but they asked for a large private room, and they ordered the most expensive dishes, and they filled a table. Cao Jin poured wine for You Fang vigorously, looking very enthusiastic, and very restrained and polite, and the hand holding the wine bottle couldn't help but stiffen a little.
Cao Jin was very nervous, and he was very uncertain, he didn't know what the purpose of this "old man from the rivers and lakes" appeared in this place at this time to find him, did he want to demolish the shed or want to get a piece of the pie? You Fang knows his details, if he takes the opportunity to blackmail, it will be difficult to do it, he wants to test how much appetite You Fang has, how to settle it, after all, they are all people in the rivers and lakes, and everything can be discussed.
Cao Jin is also a practitioner, but he didn't want to turn his face with You Fang, killing people is easy to say, but no one will do it easily, he can't do it, and it is best to solve it according to the rules of the rivers and lakes. And he may not dare to do it if he wants to, he and You Fang once tried kung fu two years ago, and he was not Youfang's opponent at that time, and now he doesn't know the details of You Fang. You Fang dared to come to the door in such a big way, obviously he was fearless, the more Cao Jin thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and the more uneasy he became, the more enthusiastic he became.
You Fang was silent, just drinking and reminiscing, and he couldn't stop respecting Cao Jin. When the two bottles of wine were empty, Cao Jin's face flushed, he didn't dare to drink like this anymore, seeing that You Fang always played Tai Chi and didn't say "business", he finally couldn't help but put down the wine glass and spoke: "Little wanderer, I'm older than you, if I don't dare to be presumptuous, I will call myself a big brother." You just called me Mr. Zeng, you should know the current situation of the eldest brother, if you have any ideas when you come to the door, just say, if there is anything that needs the help of the eldest brother, you don't have to be polite, as long as the eldest brother can do it, you must try to do it. ā
You Fang also put down the cup, looked at Cao Jin and asked with a smile: "Then I will call you big brother, big brother, do you think I am here to dismantle the shed and extort bamboo poles?" When old people meet, can't they have a good drink? ā
Cao Jin's expression was a little embarrassed: "Big brother just say it, you know my origin, and you also know that now I have changed my identity to live in Dunhuang, I hope you can do the eldest brother a favor, I will thank you for being a person in the rivers and lakes, and you don't have to be taboo when you speak, do you think I am a white party who fishes the red line?" I misunderstood, I wanted to find an opportunity to quit the rivers and lakes, but now I have finally made up my mind, I don't want to deceive the mother and daughter for anything. ā
You Fang shook his head lightly: "No, I didn't misunderstand, Brother Cao is indeed an old Jianghu, but the threshold of the rivers and lakes is only the threshold, it depends on how people use it, if you just want to quit the rivers and lakes like this, it is not impossible." Actually, I was a little puzzled before I came, why haven't you left yet? It turned out to be the case, but now that I finally understand, let's have a good drink. That's a good thing for you, congratulations...... Brother, let me ask again, what do you think about the mother and daughter? ā
Cao Jin's expression was even more embarrassed, and he even said with a little shame: "Don't tell my brother, at the beginning, I saw such a good opportunity to set a threshold, and I really moved a little crookedly. Because I know that Wanwei came from the wrong way, and the legacy left behind is definitely more than the family's savings and the trading company, so I want to fish the red line to get a vote and leave. But then the situation changed my mind, and now even if I am allowed to leave, I can't just leave. ā
You Fang asked with great interest, "Oh, what happened?" āeļ¼ ~ļ¼
