Chapter 35: A Glitzy Night Banquet
"Yes, yes, that's him! I heard that his son is doing well in Hong Kong, so he wants to take him over to enjoy Qingfu, and he happens to help bring his grandson, so he wants to sell the house. ”
Seeing that Chu Mufeng seemed to be interested in this news, Xu Dachong hurriedly said.
"Oh!"
Chu Mufeng took the good little wontons, ate two bites, and said casually: "Lao Xu, you should know a lot of people who set up stalls like you to sell snacks, at least you know everyone around our alley, right?" ”
"Know, know! Master Chu, I know all the surrounding areas. "Xu Dachong's character is this kind of self-cooking, and he is very good at the bottom.
"Well, that's right!"
Chu Mufeng's eyes rolled slightly, and he took out ten yuan of legal currency from his pocket.
"Master Chu, what are you doing here? You came to eat a bowl of wontons to give me face, and what money to give, isn't this a slap in my face? Last time, if you hadn't come forward, I would have had to pay those scoundrels! Xu Dachong waved his hand again and again.
"Here you go, just take it!" Chu Mufeng said in a deep voice.
"But, Master Chu, this ...... That's too much, isn't it? Xu Dachong still didn't dare to accept it, a bowl of Little Chaos was only a dime, and this ten yuan was enough to sell a hundred bowls for himself!
"This money is not for you! I see that you are quite concerned about those gossip, so you take this money, pay attention to help me pay attention in the future, and tell me any valuable news in time. Chu Mufeng followed.
The emperor is not a hungry soldier, since he wants people to do things, he naturally has to give some sweetness, otherwise even if he relies on his own identity to suppress it, people will not be happy.
Anyway, I don't lack money now, and I still have a lot of extra money on hand.
Is this to let yourself be a bag to ask?
Xu Dachong was not stupid, he immediately understood what Chu Mufeng meant, and he was also quite excited in his heart.
You must know that he is just a stall, he is a member of the bottom of Beiping City, and he works hard every day, but he can only support his family.
Once something happens, he will call the heavens and the earth unspiritual!
But if Chu Mufeng is his backer, this situation will change immediately, and he can be regarded as a person with a master.
As the saying goes, it's up to the owner to beat the dog!
With Chu Mufeng here, who would dare to bully him casually among those scoundrels?
Don't think the metaphor is vulgar, the more vulgar it is, the more realistic it is.
"Master Chu, since you can afford me Xu Dachong, then I will definitely handle what you command! I can't ask for this money, so you should take it back. Xu Da said excitedly in a low voice.
"Don't be verbose, just take it for you! This is considered an activity fee, and when dealing with people, it is inevitable that there will be a place to spend money. As long as things are done, your benefits are indispensable. Chu Mufeng said impatiently.
"Yes, yes, thank you Chu Ye, thank you Chu Ye!" Xu Dachong nodded again and again and took it.
"Do it well!"
Putting down these words, Chu Mufeng finished eating the wontons in three bites and two bites, waved his hand and walked into the alley.
The reason why he mentioned this with Xu Dachong today was not because he did it on a whim, but because he had planned to do it a long time ago.
In those days, there were no monitoring probes, and eavesdropping devices were not so advanced, so it still took someone to inquire about the news.
And whether it is now or in the future, low-level figures like Xu Dachong who do small business will not disappear.
They are like nails, which will be nailed in the streets and alleys of Beiping City, and whoever can integrate them all is definitely an invisible and huge force.
This is what Chu Mufeng wants to do.
Set up a stall!
Pull the rickshaw!
Selling newspapers and cigarettes!
Walking the streets and playing drums!
……
These seemingly inconspicuous small roles are all in Chu Mufeng's consideration.
He will look for some suitable candidates, develop them into his own bag and inquire about them, and strive to build a large intelligence network in Beiping City before the war starts next year.
Once this intelligence network is formed, it will definitely come in handy in the future.
With this plan, Chu Mufeng fell into a deep sleep......
The rising sun leaps into the sky, blooming brilliantly, dispelling the night, and a new day begins.
On the way to the police department, Chu Mufeng did two things by the way.
The first thing I ordered was a latest-new German Leica III camera, as well as the materials needed to wash the photos, which will definitely be used in the future.
The second one bought a few outfits, including a suit and a long shirt, leather shoes and ties, and of course a few hats by the way.
Anyway, he is not short of money now, he does not spend it in vain, especially the fiat currency he has saved, and it is the right way to spend it quickly, and he only needs to keep the ocean dollar and a small yellow croaker to be hard currency.
After doing this, Chu Mufeng went to the police department, and the day's work officially began.
It's been a busy day, a fulfilling day.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Chu Mufeng directly changed into civilian clothes, came to the door, got into the Chevrolet car specially driven by Young Master Shen, and went to Mrs. Helian's mansion to attend the dinner.
"Are there a lot of people attending the dinner?" Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Chu Mufeng looked out the window and asked casually.
"That's a lot!"
Shen Lang said casually while driving, "I just know a little, but don't worry, there are not many officialdom here, most of them are celebrities, newspaper presidents, foreign bank owners, shop keepers and the like." ”
"After all, the real big people don't take Madame Helian too seriously. Like my uncle, he didn't come! ”
Shen Qingfeng didn't come?
Chu Mufeng blinked, but he was relieved when he thought of the mess that had happened in Boss Shen's house recently.
"Then let's talk about it first, go over and go around, I'll leave when I open my eyes, and you are willing to stay at your leisure."
"Okay, I'm afraid you don't want to go!" Shen Lang grinned.
……
Goldfish Alley, Yandang Street.
This is where Lady Helian's mansion is located.
Different from the courtyard houses common in Beiping City, her house is not a traditional Chinese building, but a two-story new western-style building.
In front of the door are two delicate marble columns, red walls and green tiles, and Western iron window grilles.
On both sides of the stairs are pots of flowers for decoration, revealing a bit of warmth in the high-end foreign atmosphere.
The outside is surrounded by an iron fence wall, and if you walk along the wall, you will find that there are artistic statues standing inside, and the most attractive thing is that there is an artificial pool in the back garden.
In these forty-nine cities, there can be such a mansion of extraordinary scale, it is enough to see that Mrs. Helian has a strong net worth and an amazing background, even if she is an ordinary small boss, she will not be so extravagant.
"I said, Young Master Shen, how rich do you think this Lady Helian is? It's just such a luxurious mansion, there are no three or five thousand oceans, you can't eat it, right? ”
Standing in front of the door, Chu Mufeng looked at it and said.
"What do you say? Three or five thousand, where is enough, let alone 10,000 oceans! Shen Lang waved his hand and said.
"Mrs. Helian is also from Zhenghuangqi, and her family used to be in business in the Northeast and was very rich. When this came to Beiping City, it must have been that the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, which was not comparable to ordinary people. ”
"Come on, you're all rich, you can smell money when you breathe a sigh."
When he said this, Chu Mufeng was more ridiculous.
As for any envy and jealousy, it was not at all.
Whether it was in his previous life or now, he never felt that being rich in this world was invincible.
In the face of power, money has always been able to bow its head obediently.
As long as you have power, why care about money?
Besides, Chu Mufeng is now worth a lot of money, and he is an invisible rich man!
"Let's go inside!"
"Good!"
Walking into the courtyard, Chu Mufeng did not hesitate to go his own way with Shen Lang.
That's right, this guy's eyes are rolling around, staring at those little girls with a look of disgust.
Chu Mufeng couldn't afford to lose that person.
However, this Mrs. Helian really has some energy, Chu Mufeng roughly estimated, and there are almost 100 people who came to attend today's dinner.
Moreover, the dinner is in the form of a Western buffet, and the guests can enjoy food and wine at will in the spacious hall.
The guests dressed in brocade clothes, gold and silver were full of ambition and greeted each other, which was very lively.
"Hey, isn't this Boss Song! You're here too, it's been a good time, isn't it? ”
"Mr. Huang, I really didn't say anything about the painting you gave me before, I still want to ask for another one, when will it be convenient for you to see?"
"What a coincidence, isn't this Miss Lin?"
……
The voices around were all this kind of greeting, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other, and the smiles that appeared on their faces were so kind and warm.
It's just that no one came to Chu Mufeng to chat, no way, not everyone knew him.
He was just the leader of the criminal investigation team who had just ascended, and if his senior brother Cao Yunshan came, it would be a different scene.
"Thank you, Madame Helian, for your kind invitation, and I toast you with a glass of wine!"
At this moment, a voice sounded not far away, and Chu Mufeng looked over and saw the legendary Mrs. Helian.
Not to mention, it is said that she is over forty years old, she is well-groomed and well-maintained, and she looks like she is in her thirties.
Tonight, the hostess put on light makeup, wearing a lilac peony cheongsam, and her two snow-white and delicate arms were exposed in the air, and the white flowers were a little dazzling.
The black hair is combed into a very orthodox palace hairstyle, which reveals a little nobility in elegance.
Madame Helian, who was holding a wine glass, was familiar with this situation, and no matter who came, she could laugh a few words, and just like a butterfly, she kept walking through the crowd.
Sometimes dignified and elegant, sometimes charming and coquettish.
"Tsk, no wonder you can become a courtesan in these four or nine cities, there are really some doorways."
Chu Mufeng didn't have the slightest intention of going up to talk, and continued to watch coldly.
He came here tonight to see the world, and as for anything else, he didn't even think about it.
There is no need to deliberately cater to what position to consider what.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Helian to bring her daughter out in anticipation of everyone.
The moment he saw Jiang Yi, Chu Mufeng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Is this Jiang Yi?
