The salty sea breeze blows on your face.

Fu Lingyuan stood at the window, took out a cigarette, lowered his head, bit his lip, and lit it.

Smoke flies.

He looked up at the sea in the twilight, the sparks flickering between his fingers, and the length of the cigarette was shortening.

Winter night falls quickly, and within a few minutes, the sea is completely dark.

Behind him, Li Qing was speaking: "Boss, this is it." As I've previously reported to you, there's a luxury motorhome that stays on the private beach behind the hotel for almost a week. ”

Fu Lingyuan half-narrowed his eyes, was quiet for a few seconds, and said: "Before the city was planned, this area was full of small fishing villages. ”

"Yes," Li Qing naturally remembered the little information about Zhuang Peiyu in his hand, "Mrs. Lin used to live here before she left Jiangcheng. ”

Then, adding: "The biggest investor in the current Wuzhou International Hotel is the banker. ”

Fu Lingyuan turned around a little carelessly, and his voice was a little meaningful: "The dealer is really a big business, and he is low-key. ”

At the same time, the information that came to mind was the one that had just arrived last night.

There is not much content about the bookmaker, including a simple history of the family and the asset status of the bookmaker in Jiangcheng today. There is also a list of the heads of the family in the past, but only as of Zhuang Mancang, who died not long ago.

There is no new head of the house......

Li Qing observed his dark expression and did not say anything.

"Boss," Zhao 13 knocked on the door from outside, "Erguan and Jiusi are here." ”

Fu Lingyuan rolled his eyes and stared.

"Mr. Fu."

The two entered the room and greeted each other.

Li Qing looked at the clean and neat body of the second cylinder, and teased him a little unashamedly: "Didn't you say that you were a beggar in Jiangcheng?" That's decent enough. ”

Jiusi on the side said instead of the second tube: "I came back after taking a shower and changing clothes." And the hotel won't let a person named Hanako in. ”

"Haha, the boss is here, you can temporarily step down from the beggar's pretend."

The second tube looked ashamed: "Those don't matter. It's the most humiliating thing to not be able to hear any valuable news. ”

Jiusi took the second cylinder and apologized to Fu Lingyuan: "I'm sorry Mr. Fu, it's because we are incompetent." ”

Li Qing walked over and put on the shoulder of the second cylinder, and patted Jiusi's back again: "Yo, you guys, what are you doing with this virtue?" It's not that the boss doesn't know the difficulty of this task, but he doesn't blame you, just do your best. Right, Boss? ”

Fu Lingyuan casually picked up his thin lips, which was counted as agreeing with Li Qing's words, his dark eyes turned with a dim light, and he circled around Jiusi without a trace for two seconds.

"Boss," Zhao Shisan knocked on the door again and came in to inform, "The two hall masters sent their men to invite, saying that the reception banquet has been prepared. ”

Fu Lingyuan snuffed out the cigarette butt, threw it into the trash can, walked to the sofa and picked up his coat, and took the lead towards the outside: "Go." ”

Li Qing, Erguan and Jiusi immediately followed.

Ayomen has always been about pomp and decency.

In order to welcome Fu Lingyuan this time, the two hall masters specially chartered a banquet hall in the hotel that can accommodate 1,000 people, and recruited all the brothers from the two halls, which was counted as a party.

Fu Lingyuan was invited to the upper seat and was accompanied by two hall masters, one on the left and one on the right.

Soon after taking a seat, on the stage in front, the opening dance was hotly kicked off by dozens of women with plump breasts and fat buttocks.

Li Qing and Zhao Shisan followed Fu Lingyuan's side, while Erguan and Jiusi were assigned to the vicinity of the entrance of the banquet hall to keep an eye on the whole situation.

Seeing that it was still relatively leisurely, Li Qing said hello to Zhao Shisan, excused himself to go to the bathroom, stayed in the bathroom for a while, and sent a message to Jiusi's mobile phone: "I squatted in the toilet, the paper in the compartment is gone, Zhao Shisan's stunned person probably didn't see my request for help, please Jiusi, you help me pinch his ear and remind him to come and send me paper." ”

At the end of the sentence, a pretended ambiguous expression was deliberately added.

…………

After the hotel.

When the car stopped, the call between Ruan Shu and Zhuang Huangnian had not yet ended.

"So, the second nephew doesn't object to my approach?"

My aunt laughed. They are all introduced to your aunt, and it is up to your aunt to decide how she wants to deal with them, and no one can interfere. The most important thing is to be able to pick out what my aunt likes. Zhuang Huangnian's speech is still like that.

"The second nephew should have read the list and know the people above?"

"That's nature. After all, it is related to my aunt's lifelong event, and my aunt is not familiar with Jiangcheng, so she has the obligation to help my aunt check in advance in the famine year. ”

"That is, do you know that Sui Rundong is also one of the candidates?"

"Auntie doesn't like Sui Rundong?"

Ruan Shu asked rhetorically: "Do you want me to choose Sui Rundong?" ”

Zhuang Huangnian smiled: "I don't have any hope or hope." Again, whether my aunt likes it or not is the most important thing. ”

"That's it......" Ruan Shu dragged out a long tone, paused for two seconds, and said, "I didn't like Sui Rundong before, but when my eldest nephew and daughter-in-law mentioned it to me in the morning, I turned around and thought about it carefully." In fact, he is indeed mature and stable, and he also has a position in the company. The most important thing is that he is the younger brother of the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, and with the help of the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, he can't bully me in the future. ”

Zhuang Huangnian was quiet for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone did not change much from before: "If my aunt really thinks it's good, I'll leave him for a blind date banquet for a while, and I'll look at it everywhere in the future." ”

"Okay, then I'll keep him." Ruan Shu tugged at the corners of his lips mockingly, and asked again, "The second nephew has no other candidate opinions to offer me?" ”

Zhuang Huangnian was polite: "Everything respects my aunt." ”

Ruan Shu didn't talk nonsense anymore, ended the call, and sneered in his heart - all the candidates, since Zhuang Huangnian has passed the test, it means that no matter which one she chooses, it will not affect him.

Except, of course, Sui Rundong.

The Sui family used to be a family with a surname that was more friendly with the banker. Sui Runzhi's grandmother for decades has not been in vain. In the eyes of the old people in the clan, Sui Rundong is naturally qualified to be selected.

It stands to reason that according to Zhuang Huangnian's position, when Zhuang Mancang is dead, he will no longer want the heirs of the Zhuang family to have a relationship with the Sui family.

Zhuang Huangnian did not prevent Sui Rundong from being on the list, the reason must be because of him, he saw her dislike for the Sui family's siblings clearly, so he didn't think there was any need to openly conflict with the Sui family.

Even so, she refused to do what he wanted, and waited to see what he would do.

Zhuang Yao was outside to help pull the car door.

Ruan Shu put away his mobile phone and got out of the car.

The wind rises, blows on the face.

Her neck was empty, and she couldn't help but wince at first glance.

Zhuang Yao was keenly aware and frowned: "Sister, I said that you were wearing too little." The winter in Jiangcheng is much colder than that in Haicheng. I'll get someone to buy you a scarf first. ”

"No hassle. It's all indoors anyway. Ruan Shu didn't care at all, and the steps under his feet didn't stop, "Hurry up and solve the matter and leave early." ”

At the elevator, Rong Yi, who came downstairs to pick her up, was waiting: "Miss." ”

"How's it going?" Ruan Shu stepped into the car.

Rong Yi smiled: "It's all clear according to the arrangement ordered by the eldest lady." ”

Ruan Shu bowed slightly, and the smooth and shiny mirror reflected her faint look.

Arrived at the floor and got off the elevator, and Eiichi led the way in front of him.

Ruan Shu took Zhuang Yao and went up to the second floor of the small banquet hall duplex from the rest room attached to the rear.

A comfortable upholstered mahogany chair is placed in front of the screen painted by Mangosteen, and a small table next to it is equipped with melons, fruits and pastries, as well as a pot of freshly soaked West Lake Longjing.

Ruan Shu took off her coat and handed it to Rong Yi to help her hang on the hanger, while she relaxed her body and mind, and sat down in the mahogany chair with the psychology of watching the drama.

With the surveillance screen at hand, you can see the situation in the hall on the first floor very clearly.

Almost all of the dozens of blind dates recommended by the clan came.

Although the news of the blind date banquet was announced in a hurry, everyone seemed to have made the most adequate preparations in the shortest possible time, and the appearance was uneven, at least in terms of appearance, everyone was well-dressed, and they were trying their best to show themselves in the best appearance.

Ruan Shu was annoyed, she didn't go through the specific list, but now that she looked, she fully felt the clan's concern for her-

From a young man in his twenties to an uncle in his fifties and sixties, there are all of them, which can be regarded as giving her a very large choice in terms of age.

So Sui Rundong is not the oldest of them.

The youngest of the lads had a young face that made one wonder if he was an adult.

Of course, those who can be on the list must have a certain background.

Ruan Shu didn't know them, but they knew very well where they came from.

A buffet was arranged for them, but they didn't communicate with each other, but each stayed in their own corner, probably waiting for her to appear.

At the same time, it gives people a sense of momentum.

Therefore, through the screen, it seems that you can feel the crackling and popping sound of sparks faintly diffusing in the air.

Ruan Shu drank his tea patiently.

Downstairs, someone was starting to get impatient.

"What about my aunt and grandmother? Haven't come yet? ”

"Didn't you say a group blind date? When exactly did it start? ”

"What about people? Why isn't there a single person who delivers the news? ”

“……”

Ruan Shu gave Rong Yi a look.

Rong Yi went online with Lv Pinlian through walkie-talkie.

In a moment's time, five masked women appeared in the small agitation on the first floor, and stood in front of all the blind dates.

Also appeared with Lu Pin.

"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting, our aunt and grandmother need to dress up, so we've been delayed in the dressing room."

Everyone looked around when they heard this, and then someone asked, "What about my aunt and grandmother now?" ”

"It's not." Lu Pin turned sideways and waved his arm to gesture to the five women.

Everyone was confused.

Lu Pin said unhurriedly: "Everyone is carefully selected by the old people in the clan, and they are all very good. So in this regard, there is no comparison. Our aunt and grandmother are women, and what women care about is how much this man cares about her. ”

"Since everyone likes our aunt and wants to chase after our aunt, they must have done their best to understand our aunt's situation in various ways. So now, please make your own judgment within five minutes according to your understanding of our aunt and grandmother, and judge which of the five women in front of you is my aunt. ”

Everyone was refreshed when they heard this, and then they looked at it carefully.

Five women, wearing five kinds of masks, dressed differently, slightly different in height and size, but not much, but this one is a little taller, and the other is a little shorter; This one is a little thinner; That's a little fatter.

To be honest, in this kind of situation where you block your face and don't speak aloud, unless you have a more intimate contact on weekdays and are very familiar, it is really difficult to judge.

But it is difficult to judge, and it must be judged.

Everyone hurried up and stepped forward to take a closer look at the five women. Some sniffed perfume, some stared at the only pair of eyes that were hidden by the masks, and some even dared to grab their hands.

Ruan Shu stared at the display screen with great interest.

Until everyone stands in line.

There were three people outside the queue, one was the youngest young man, one was the vicissitudes of life uncle who looked older than Sui Rundong, and the last one was Sui Rundong.

Lu Pin kindly reminded: "It's going to be there in five minutes." Hurry up. ”

But the three of them said in unison, "We've already made a judgment." ”

After the words came out, the three of them looked at each other.

Sui Rundong and Uncle Vicissitudes of Life were silent, and the young man said: "I don't think there is an aunt or grandmother among these five people." ”

Among the people who were already standing in line, two or three saw that Sui Rundong was also outside, and immediately wanted to run for tickets.

Of course, Lu Pin didn't give them a chance, and stretched out his hand to stop: "I'm sorry, the time is up, the choice has been decided, and I can't go back." ”

Then he smiled and asked the five women to take off their masks and reveal the answer: "Our aunt and grandmother are not on the list. ”

Most people choose the wrong one, and the atmosphere is inevitably low-pressure.

Some people were not convinced: "Where is that aunt?" Ask my aunt and grandmother to show their faces, we think it would be too arbitrary to get us out of the game just by doing this! ”

"Yes! And my aunt's methods are unfair to us! Someone else stood up and glanced at Sui Rundong intentionally or unintentionally, "It would be fine if everyone usually didn't have the opportunity to have private contact with my aunt and grandmother, but now, it is very obvious that there is a person who is different from us, he can often go in and out of my aunt's house." People who don't know will think that you have selfish intentions. ”

"What if I say I'm selfish?" The female voice came out coldly.

Everyone followed the direction of the sound source and looked up at the second floor.

I saw a red-lipped woman in a black dress standing in front of the fence, her narrow and sharp phoenix eyes turned around, and the blazing light of the crystal lamps in the hall seemed to dim instantly.

"This game is my group, this game is set by me, this pro is for myself, since you are invited to attend, you agree to my rules by default, just to win my peace of mind, come and make me happy."

She still held the tea cup in her hand, and under the attention of everyone, she took a sip of tea calmly, as if moistening her throat, and then raised her chin slightly, looked at everyone condescendingly, and continued to speak, "Now this is how I am happy." What if I choose my own man, but what if I have selfish motives? You don't know enough about me, you lose this game, you don't reflect on yourself, and you accuse me of being unfair. If it's not fair, just go, don't be wronged here, and participate in the next two links. ”

Most people had only seen her from afar at the naming ceremony that day, but today, even from the distance between the upstairs and downstairs, they could see her true face more clearly than before.

The first impression is that she is younger and more beautiful than expected.

After her above words, some people felt that she was arrogant, some people felt that they thought very highly of themselves, and more people felt that there was a kind of domineering that could not be ignored.

For a while, no one spoke, not only because of her aura, but also because of her last words.

Since he didn't even mind "getting rich", he decided to marry this aunt, and he was ready for all kinds of "grievances" in his heart. Now, even if you have to go to the last step, where can you give up at the first level?

"I'm sorry aunt, I was excited just now, and my words were wrong." The two people who were clamoring for the unfairness apologized.

Ruan Shu was expressionless and didn't give a word.

Lu Pin returned to the scene at the right time: "Since this is the case, then we will record the results of the first game, take a five-minute break and enter the second game, everyone still has a chance, don't be discouraged." My aunt and grandmother are now coming out to watch in person, and everyone continues to behave well. ”

"Behave like a fart." Someone whispered and bit his ears with the people around him, and looked in the direction of Sui Rundong, "Didn't you hear my aunt and grandmother admit that she was selfish?" I now suspect that Sui Rundong may have followed his sister's convenience a long time ago, and the building near the water was the first to get the moon. It's not good for my aunt and grandmother to directly wipe off the face of the old people in the clan, so she made such a game, so that Sui Rundong justifiably became her object, and others could only think that their skills were inferior. ”

"Probably not, right? Doesn't my aunt have a grudge against Zhuang Mancang? Why would you want to marry Zhuang Mancang's brother-in-law? Moreover, in terms of Sui Rundong's conditions, we are all younger and better looking than him. My aunt and grandmother are also a young girl, so they don't fall in love with an old widower like him, right? ”

"Who said that the taste of the quasi-aunt and grandmother? The most important thing is who can say for sure, did the three sisters and brothers of the Sui family pour ecstasy soup on their aunt and grandmother behind their backs? What's more, what means are used. ”

"Anyway, let's see in the next two games. The rest of us were in a daze, Sui Rundong might have been angry with his aunt and grandmother, and he knew exactly what he was going to play tonight. ”

“……”

Sui Rundong is complacent about his first victory. After sitting back in his position, he wondered in his heart what Ruan Shu's sentence was selfish or not, whether it was just a casual admission or a real point.

If it really means, then it will be that she has figured it out and thinks that he is indeed the best candidate, so the setting of the first test is biased in his favor or ......

His eyes were on the two people who had chosen the right answer with him - could it be that one of them had secretly made a song with Ruan Shu?

At the same time, the questions and results of this first exam also reached Zhuang Huangnian's ears for the first time.

Sui Rundong......

Zhuang Huangnian frowned, a little doubtful that it was the right decision for him to let the Sui family's siblings make small moves......

…………

Seeing that Ruan Shu seemed to be a little out of spirit, Zhuang Yao couldn't help but care: "Sister, was you disturbed by Wenye last night, so you didn't sleep well?" I have already taught him a lesson, and he will not run to you in the middle of the night in the future. ”

Rong Yi was slightly angry: "Young Master Qiangzi, I don't want to accuse you of anything, but I think you should be sure that your lesson is really useful?" Last night he only entered the study, in case he was rampant and wanted to break into the eldest lady's bedroom? ”

Ruan Shu: "......"

Zhuang Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of steepness, and he said as if assuring: "I will warn him again that this kind of thing will not be allowed to happen." ”

Rong Yi was a little angry with Zhuang Yao: "Young Master Qiangzi and we are not of the same mind, instead of pinning my hopes on you, it is better for me to strengthen my defense." ”

When the words fell, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.

Eiichi walked out to answer the phone.

"Brother Rong, those two halls in Qingmen also chartered a hall in the hotel tonight to hold a reception banquet. I just inquired and found out that it was the customary of the hall master of the Four Seas Hall to come to inspect. ”

"The one surnamed Fu is here?" Rong Yi was stunned, instinctively turned around to look at Ruan Shu, and then walked a few steps away, lowering his voice, "Okay, I know, you continue to guard your respective posts." ”

Ending the call, he hurriedly found Jiusi's number and sent a message.

…………

Sure enough, as Lu Zhenhua said, the amount of alcohol is not enough, and he really can't do the errand of the inspection.

The two hall masters seemed to be using wine as water, and they filled him with many glasses when they talked and laughed.

There are a lot of brothers in the two halls, every time the Qingmen meeting in Haicheng, the person in charge of the top is the one who goes, and most of the people in the hall have never seen Fu Lingyuan, so they are in a hurry at this time, and they have the courage to come over to toast Fu Lingyuan.

After all, the hall master of Sihai Hall is the most heavyweight Qingmen boss after Lu Zhenhua and Lu Shaocong.

One of the important purposes of the inspection is to be "close to the people" and "have fun with the people", not to mention that Fu Lingyuan's character in Qingmen has always been like this, so he did not refuse everyone's enthusiasm.

There was a sudden movement in the mobile phone, Li Qing sensitively looked for the location of Jiusi and Erzhu, and saw Jiusi looking down at her own mobile phone.

With a move in his heart, Li Qing hurriedly entrusted the task of blocking the wine to Zhao Shisan alone, and he first avoided a clean place on the side, and quickly took out his mobile phone.

The software has been successfully implanted into her mobile phone through the message sent to Jiusi before, and at this moment Jiusi's mobile phone has a new movement, and the software is launched as soon as possible, successfully stealing the content.

It's three messages. It's a conversation between Jiusi and another person.

The other party's number is only a number, and there is no name record, but the message content asks: "Did he come to Jiangcheng?" Continental International Hotel? ”

Jiusi replied: "Huh? How do you know? He didn't give us any notice and only came to us when he arrived. I was going to tell you all about it tonight. ”

The other party: "The eldest lady and I are also here." Okay, confirmed. I'll be busy first. You must not let the eldest lady collide with him! Keep an eye out for that, too! ”

Miss...... Li Qing's eyelids jumped, he looked at it three times, and confirmed it in his heart, and immediately called his subordinates to find a way to find out the situation of all the banquet halls or boxes in the hotel tonight, and confirmed whether there was anyone from the dealer.

…………

Even if you are prepared in advance, being poured too much is not completely without effect.

As soon as Fu Lingyuan stopped the next wave, Li Qing looked at the gap and approached his side, and couldn't wait to report: "Boss, Sister Ruan may also be in the hotel now!" ”
