Chapter Eighty-Seven: I'll Pretend I Don't Know
Huang Wenqing and Zhu Zhifu's voices were not very loud, but they were heard very clearly.
"Lord Zhu. What do you mean by that? Huang Wenqing asked.
"Shopkeeper Huang, don't hide it, since I came to you, I will naturally give you a good advice." Zhu Zhifu said.
"You want me to go against Lord Zhou? This is not good, Lord Zhou is my brother-in-law. Huang Wenqing naturally seemed to refuse.
"Shopkeeper Huang, I will come here to make this suggestion to you just for your own good." Zhu Zhifu said.
"How can this be called for my own good, you are letting my own family do my own family, this is to be despised." Huang Wenqing's attitude towards you should be more resolute, as if you are discussing something with others.
"Only God knows about this matter, you know and I know, and there will definitely be no third person who knows, Huang Shopkeeper, think about it, what is your status in the Zhao Mansion now? As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places, you have been in business since you were young to your current age, even if you don't have a lot of money, you should be quite successful, but the people of Zhao Mansion have been suppressing you, and they haven't reused you at all, aren't they? Zhu Zhifu said.
"It's not..." Huang Wenqing defended himself, but was interrupted by Zhu Zhifu.
"Shopkeeper Huang is waiting for me to finish speaking." Zhu Zhifu cleared his throat, "In this case, there is another Lord Zhou who is in the limelight and has a high status in your family, if he enters your Zhao family now, your father-in-law and your wife will revolve around him, and what about you?" is already a very loose status, but after Lord Zhou comes, how do you mix? Presumably your wife is constantly pressuring you at home, right? ”
"No, nothing!" Huang Wenqing's tone visibly became shaken.
"Shopkeeper Huang, listen to me, there is Lord Zhou's Zhao Mansion, you are forty or fifty years old, and you are still just a small role with them, do you plan to be under Lord Zhou for the rest of your life? According to the seniority, he wants to call you the second brother-in-law, and you also came before him in the order of first come, first served, why let this guy ride on your head? Is it because he is the ruling government of Jiangzhou? Governor Zhu asked.
Huang Wenqing did not speak.
Governor Zhu continued, "Now that you have finally come here, our President Yang has promised, as long as you are willing to help us, President Yang is willing to monopolize the management rights of the two pieces of cloth in Jianghang, Jiangning and Ningxia to your Zhao family, and naturally you will also say good things for you in front of your father-in-law, and your status in the Zhao Mansion will naturally rise." ”
"But ... But President Yang is really doing disgraceful things... Huang Wenqing whispered.
"This is your misunderstanding of President Yang, we are all businessmen, businessmen do business to make money, but the number in the market will not change, there are only so many people's needs, if a few people share it, what you get can definitely not be compared to one person to make money, the Chamber of Commerce is a world of the jungle, most of the rights should be in the hands of a few, doesn't the Huang shopkeeper want to be this minority?" Governor Zhu asked.
"This... Huang Wenqing was a little speechless.
"Don't you want your wife and father-in-law to be impressed? Don't you want your Zhao family to become more and more prosperous?! Zhu Zhifu's voice became significantly louder.
"Lord Zhu... Such a big thing, you still let me think about it... Huang Wenqing said.
"Shopkeeper Huang, this thing is not in the house, it's gone, it's gone, we won't give you a second chance, if you hesitate so much, then this matter will not happen to us." Zhu Zhifu said.
Huang Wenqing still didn't speak.
Governor Zhu was a little dull for a while, and then stood up, "Since this is the case, this official will also leave it first." ”
Zhu Zhifu's footsteps are also getting farther and farther.
At this time, a voice sounded, "Master Zhu stays!" ”
Suddenly all the voices were gone, as if waiting for something to happen.
"Please... Please tell President Yang... I will cooperate. A slightly decadent and faint voice rang out.
The two then said something that they didn't have, and Master Zhu left.
There was no more sound in the room.
Zhan Xiaoyan stood up, as if he was extremely angry at what had just happened, and was about to go out with a soft whip, but was grabbed by Zhou Ruocheng by the corner of his clothes.
"What are you doing?!" Zhan Xiaoyan lowered her voice, but she could hear the anger mixed in it, what could be more infuriating than the betrayal of her family?
"Let's go, let's go have supper." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"You! This has happened, are you in the mood for a late-night snack? Zhan Xiaoyan asked.
Zhou Ruocheng raised his head and showed a helpless smile, "Okay, please, listen to me, okay?" ”
Zhan Xiaoyan looked at Zhou Ruocheng, and finally stood up, withdrew his whip, and walked out of the house.
Zhou Ruocheng also followed, but he didn't deliberately lower his pace, walked to the door of Huang Wenqing's room, stopped for a while, and finally didn't push the door in, sighed, walked away, lit a cigarette for himself, and watched the smoke in front of him drift into the night.
The two of them came to a night food stall on a nearby street.
"Boss! Bring me five steamed buns and two bowls of white porridge! Three or four more side dishes! Hurry up! Zhan Xiaoyan said.
"You eat so much alone?" Zhou Ruocheng looked at Zhan Xiaoyan with a surprised expression.
Zhan Xiaoyan glared at Zhou Ruocheng, "Two more cages of roasted wheat!" Save a spring roll! ”
"What? Want to push yourself to death? Zhou Ruocheng laughed.
"Do you have an opinion? I'd love to! Zhan Xiaoyan said angrily, "Anyway, you pay, I can eat as much as I want!" ”
Zhou Ruocheng shook his head: "Are you still angry about what happened just now?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"I'm angry? Is it useful for me to be angry? Your second brother-in-law is too much of a thing, you are dedicated to assisting him in the upper position, he is good, but in the blink of an eye, he turned his elbow out, and he didn't know that he was sold! Zhan Xiaoyan replied.
"How do you know if someone's words aren't true?" Zhou Ruocheng looked at the chopstick box on the table and asked.
"Do you even need to think about it? Why should people be afraid of the Zhao family? It's not because you, Lord Zhou, are here, if you are messed with, why should you be polite to the Zhao family? Zhan Xiaoyan asked.
"My father-in-law is also very prestigious." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"He has prestige, why can't he be the president of the Chamber of Commerce? It's like saying it in vain! Zhan Xiaoyan hugged his arms and looked at Zhou Ruocheng with slanted eyes.
"This bun is quite delicious." The buns had already been served, and Zhou Ruocheng picked one up and began to eat it.
"Huh! Are you listening to me?! I'm complaining about you! Zhan Xiaoyan's two hands slapped heavily on the table, and everything on the table jumped upward, so frightened that the guy who was serving the food looked at Zhan Xiaoyan with some fear.
"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. Zhou Ruocheng still looked calm, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "Although it hasn't been recorded, it should be able to listen." ”
Zhan Xiaoyan was also happy: "Did you record?" ”
"You have to rely on your brain to do things, and you can't rely on brute force, so you're just a little catcher until now." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Your uncle!" Zhan Xiaoyan sat back in his position, "So, what are you going to do now?" Expose President Yang's ugly face? ”
"I can get him down with this recording alone, so I don't have to eat supper here." Zhou Ruocheng smiled, "Maybe you can let him be punished, but it's not enough to eradicate these, you have to rely on the power of other powerful people." ”
"Aren't you a magnate?" Zhan Xiaoyan asked.
Zhou Ruocheng put his hand on his chest and tightened, "You said that my sore spot, if I have enough rights, do I still need to steal chickens and dogs like this?" ”
Zhan Xiaoyan shook his head: "Sometimes I don't know if you are a decent person or a villain." ”
"In the eyes of the people, I am decent, but in the eyes of some powerful people such as Yang Zhifu, I am the villain, what others think of me, the important thing is not to lose my way." Zhou Ruocheng picked up a roll of roasted wheat and said.
"Can you make chicken soup a little bit every time you make chicken soup?" Zhan Xiaoyan asked.
"Haha, Ji Jin is not there, but you have become the one who complains about me." Zhou Ruocheng smiled. "That's good, I never felt like I was supposed to be a big guy, I just did what I was told."
"For whom?" Zhan Xiaoyan asked.
Zhou Ruocheng looked at Zhan Xiaoyan with blazing eyes, and still had a smile on his face, "For this country." ”
Zhan Xiaoyan looked at Zhou Ruocheng with wide eyes for a while, then lowered his head, "Don't talk about this, your brother-in-law, what are you going to do?" ”
"What to do?" Zhou Ruocheng lowered his head and drank porridge.
"He's going to sell you, and you don't have any idea?" Zhan Xiaoyan asked.
"Everyone has their own ambitions for what I can think." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"Then watch your second brother-in-law go to the evil sect?" Zhan Xiaoyan frowned.
"Maybe it's right, I, a person who hasn't entered someone's house yet, is really inappropriate to point fingers here, and I should reflect on it if I am reasonable." Zhou Ruocheng thought for a while and replied.
"I'm not asking you to reflect on yourself! Your second brother-in-law! Elbow outward!! When you are pitted, find a corner and cry by yourself!! Zhan Xiaoyan exploded again.
"This is family... Zhou Ruocheng put the spoon in the bowl, watched the spoon turn around, and the whole thing fell into the porridge, "You have to give him a chance... ”
“。。。。。。” Zhan Xiaoyan looked at Zhou Ruocheng, "Are you so tolerant of anyone?" ”
"At least for the family." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"Good people don't live long, but bad people live for a thousand years." Zhan Xiaoyan said.
"Before, I was inspired to be a good person, so good that I gritted my teeth, so good that my family was ruined, so good that my family wealth was scattered, I didn't have a choice before, and now I want to be a bad person." Zhou Ruocheng said.
Zhan Xiaoyan smiled and moved closer to Zhou Ruocheng slightly, "So what are the bad guys going to do next?" ”
Zhou Ruocheng smiled: "Let's have supper." ”
