Chapter 49: The Search for the Truth
"Alas!" Steward Liu sighed and said: "If you want to look at the manor, there are really a lot of people who came before, and many people are interested in buying, but later, when the news spread, the number of people came gradually decreased, but a few days ago, there was a family that came, they looked very interested, asked questions, and didn't even let go of the details, I still had a glimmer of hope at that time, but what was the result?" People don't look back when they leave, and they don't even have an explanation. ”
Steward Liu hesitated for a moment, and Gao Feng naturally heard that he was helpless about the additional conditions for tenants, but on this occasion, it was inconvenient for him to say it.
"What is this for?" Gao Feng then asked.
"It's a restaurant, I can't leak the specifics, pay off Gao Gongzi's forgiveness." Steward Liu replied.
For this statement, Gao Feng couldn't help but feel powerless, I really don't know if Steward Liu is afraid of the other party's power or has a sense of confidentiality, but no matter what the situation is, since the other party doesn't say it, Gao Feng will not force it, after all, there is no need to force this kind of thing.
After giving up the question, Gao Feng glanced at Li Qikun, then picked up the tea and drank it leisurely.
"I said Steward Liu, can you work hard to help Chief Dong deal with the real estate?" Li Qikun understood, immediately put down the teacup, and asked Steward Liu in a friendly manner. It's just that he seems to have friendly words, but he doesn't open which pot and which pot, and pinches it to Steward Liu's soft place.
"I can't say hard work, it's just tired, but we must do our best as subordinates to do what the owner arranges, otherwise we will not be able to face the trust of the owner." Steward Liu said in a low tone.
"I think you're going to betray the trust of the owner this time." Li Qikun glanced at Steward Liu sympathetically and said without hesitation.
"Do you want to teach from outside?" Steward Liu was shocked, but asked without changing his face.
He had a premonition that the arrival of the two of them would definitely be in trouble, so he would squeeze them, not wanting to be disgraced, and he didn't dare to mention the old words again, not only that, but he even had to be careful, for fear of provoking the other party again.
Fortunately, the other party said that they are not here to spread gossip, as a person with status and status, it is basically worth believing to say this, otherwise they just said to their face that they wanted to spread the matter, and they could only let it go, at least he had no ability to stop it.
Now that the other party has come up with another mystery, Steward Liu can't hear the crux of the problem at all, how can he not be shocked? Of course, with the lesson of the last time, he didn't dare to speculate, only honestly asked.
"Because this incident is going to get out soon." Li Qikun said leisurely taking a sip of tea.
Damn, that's it. Steward Liu was simply devastated, he didn't expect that people with identities would be so shameless, he obviously said that he would not spread gossip, but now he mentions the matter of spreading it, which sentence is credible?
"Excuse me, what conditions did the two of you agree not to say?" Since the other party said it clearly, it has a purpose, of course, they are not stupid, they should know how big they are as a housekeeper, and they will not ask for a price so much that they can't afford it, alas, no matter how much they have an identity, it's not worth it!
Steward Liu's words made Gao Feng and Li Qikun look at each other, and they couldn't help laughing at the same time.
"Haha, it turns out that Steward Liu is still worried about us? No wonder it's so deferential. However, you are wrong, it is not us who leaked the secret, but someone else. Li Qikun explained with a long laugh.
After hearing this, Steward Liu finally didn't calm down. Do they know any secrets? It seems that I still think about this matter simply.
"Who is it?" Steward Liu asked anxiously. A sense of imminent conspiracy hit his heart, and a cold sweat broke out on his head at this time.
"We don't know who it is." Gao Feng took the opportunity to take over the conversation. His expression was very leisurely, and his hands kept fiddling with the tea arms, as if his attention was not here.
"You don't know? The more leisurely the other party was, the more anxious Steward Liu became, and even his tone seemed very hurried, if he hadn't deliberately suppressed it, he would have been ready to roar.
"Still, there's one person who should know." Gao Feng still said lightly.
"Who?" Steward Liu's voice was a little higher, and he asked hurriedly. Anyone could hear the impatience in his heart.
"Song Erdan." Gao Feng softly spat out three words.
"Song Erdan? He's been bought-? Doesn't make sense? As soon as Song Erdan's name came out, Steward Liu's brows immediately twisted together, and he kept muttering in his mouth.
After many years of dealing, he knows Song Erdan well, that is a strong seed who would rather turn around than betray the villagers, how can he be bought?
However, what the other party said was conclusive, and Steward Liu had to believe it, could it be that Song Erdan really had a problem?
The very conflicted Steward Liu was silent for a while, and only occasionally glanced at Gao Feng and Li Qikun with an advisory eye, hoping to get an answer.
"It is not necessary to be bought, but it is possible to be used." Gao Feng explained helplessly. This Steward Liu seems to be shrewd, but in fact, he can't get rid of the original mindset, even if he reminds him repeatedly, he can't see through the mystery, and he still has to make his words clear.
……
In the guest room, Song Erdan stood for a long time, and still no one paid attention to him.
There were two people in fancy clothes sitting at the top, one was older, and the other was about the same age as him, and Steward Liu was only with him at the bottom, and he didn't dare to sit even when the main seat was empty.
Who are they? Why did you call me here? Song Erdan, who was once very calm on the steps, was not calm at this time.
All three of them looked at him in unison, trying to penetrate him. Song Erdan, who didn't know why, was finally provoked, and Lao Tzu was afraid.
"Who are you? What are you looking for me? Song Erdan finally straightened his waist and said.
"Presumptuous, you dare to talk to the honored guest like this-" Steward Liu held back for a long time, Gao Feng and Li Qikun didn't speak, and he was silent, but Song Erdan's unscrupulous made him unable to help it, and opened his mouth to reprimand.
It's just that before his words fell, Gao Feng stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Song Erdan, you really don't know what we're looking for you?" Gao Feng glanced at Song Erdan coldly and said.
"Naturally, I don't know, otherwise why ask?" Under the double pressure, Song Erdan's tone softened, but his expression did not seem to soften.
"Well, let me ask you, are you worthy of the owner who treats everyone well? Are you worthy of the villagers who raised you? Gao Feng bluntly rebuked.
was reprimanded by Gao Feng, Song Erdan was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicable, and then reacted and said, "I don't know who you are?" Don't know what you're talking about? But I'll tell you, I brought the people together, but it was to help everyone get an explanation, and it didn't cause trouble, and if this is the fault, then I'm willing to bear it. ”
Song Erdan's words are bright and straightforward, and people who don't know the inside story will think that he is a man when they hear it.
"Song Erdan, you ungrateful villain, tell me quickly, who did you collude with to put everyone to death?" Seeing that Song Erdan still dared to quibble, Steward Liu scolded angrily again.
"Steward Liu, am I as unbearable as you say? Why should I collude with outsiders, and what good is it for me? Song Erdan was in a circle, and he couldn't know what was going on, so he had to defend himself first.
Seeing that Song Erdan didn't seem to be a hypocrisy, Gao Feng understood: this guy was also in the dark.
"You—" Steward Liu was about to say more, but Gao Feng stopped him again and said, "Excuse me, how did you know Steward Liu's thoughts?" ”
"This-," Song Erdan couldn't say anything more after saying half of his words, as if he was thinking about the relevance and severity in his heart.
"Don't say it quickly, you want to die in a hurry!" Steward Liu paused and urged.
"It was Steward Zhu who told me." Song Erdan finally relented and said.
"Steward Zhu? It turned out to be them! Oh, I see. Steward Liu muttered, and finally came to his senses.
