Chapter Twenty-Nine: My Dad is Li Gang
Shanghai, an international metropolis, has always been known as a difficult place to live in later generations, and this situation is still the same in the early 20th century, with wages that have not changed for thousands of years and higher and higher prices have become important factors restricting the lives of Shanghai residents, among whom the most difficult people are naturally the elderly and children.
As the saying goes, it is better to bully the pulsatilla than to bully the young and poor, Sun Wei can pay to adopt the orphans in Shanghai, and what he likes is the future future of these orphans, as for people like the porter who are already in their twilight of old age, even if he has the heart to do good, he is mostly powerless to return to heaven, even if he can help this old man now, he can't help tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of old people in Shanghai, this should be what the government that takes taxpayers' money should do.
The alley of the Wang family is not too far from Sima Road, and not long after Sun Wei sat down in the gatehouse, Mrs. Wang and her party took a rickshaw to the outside of the villa under the guidance of the bodyguards.
"This house is so beautiful!" As soon as she entered the gate, Madame Wang was attracted by the appearance of this garden-style villa.
"Pretty good!" Wang Qian, who followed behind, also echoed.
Sun Wei naturally understood the feelings of his mother-in-law and Wang Qian at this time, compared to the too narrow Shikumen, this kind of independent garden house seems much taller, so he said to Mrs. Wang: "This house is the largest of the two to be sold, I went up to see the internal layout of the house, the design is not bad, I will take you in to see, if you have no objection with Aqian, let's buy this house." ”
"How much money will it cost to buy this house?" Mrs. Wang asked as she followed Sun Wei into the villa.
"Twenty-one thousand taels, it's not too expensive." Sun Wei replied.
"It's so expensive, let's go to another place, right?" Although Wang Qian was born in a wealthy family, the entire Wang family's business together was less than half of the price of this house, which made him have to be surprised.
"This lady is right, I think you should go to another house to have a look, this western-style building master bought it." As soon as Wang Qian's words fell, a young man's voice suddenly came from the door.
Sun Wei was very unhappy that someone interrupted the conversation between his family, turned around and followed the voice, and a young Chinese man and a middle-aged white man appeared at the door, so he asked: "Who are you, don't you know that it is very rude to interrupt other people's conversations casually?" ”
"Haha, Mr. Andrew, this gentleman actually asked us who we are!" The young man seemed to have heard some big joke, and he laughed out loud.
"Hello sir, I am a friend of the owner of this house, and I am currently entrusted by my friend to handle the sale of this house, and this Mr. Wang is the customer I brought to see the house." The white man was very polite and explained.
"Hear it, turtle, this house master bought it, you'd better go where to go." The young man looked at Sun Wei with no one in his eyes and said provocatively.
"Boy, do you know who you're talking to, be careful of the trouble that comes out of your mouth!" The two bodyguards who were responsible for protecting Sun Wei's safety naturally couldn't stand others insulting their bosses like this, and one of them suddenly threatened.
"Oh, I'm so scared, you're so good." The young man pretended to say.
"You ......" The two bodyguards were completely enraged, and immediately rushed forward to teach this young man who was discharged from the hospital a lesson.
"What do you want to do? Don't think that I am afraid of you when there are many of you, do you know who my father is? If my dad knew that you were bullying me, he wouldn't let you go! The panic on the young man's face flashed when he saw Sun Wei's bodyguard approaching, and then he pretended to be calm and threatened.
"Ah Wei, I think it's better to forget it, let's go to the next one, right?" Seeing that the young man was so unscrupulous, Mrs. Wang naturally knew that he must have a very powerful backstage, so in order to prevent Sun Wei from getting into trouble, she persuaded him.
"It's still this old lady who knows current affairs, boy, the master is in a good mood today, I won't give you general knowledge, you get out of here." The young man was still unrelieved after humiliating Sun Wei, so he turned his gaze to Sun Qian, and teased with an evil look in his eyes: "Little lady, you see that your man is so incompetent, he must be unable to satisfy you in bed, I think you might as well follow me to make a small room, and also taste the taste that this little deflated three can't give you." ”
Sun Wei really hasn't had a chance to do it since he crossed over, he saw the arrogant attitude of this young man before, and knew that this person must have a solid background, so in order to prevent the story of Huang Jinrong and Lu Xiaojia, he wanted to find out his identity and then settle accounts with him, but that kid went too far, and even teased his wife, and the anger in his heart was out of control.
"You two will pull him out and beat him, kill him!" Sun Wei said through gritted teeth to the two bodyguards.
"Boy, you dare, my father is Li Gang, you dare to beat me, let him know that he carefully peeled your skin!" The young man saw that Sun Wei wanted to move seriously, and quickly brought out his Lao Tzu, who had tried and tested.
"Wait, who do you say your dad is?" When Sun Wei heard this, he suddenly stopped the bodyguard's action.
"Why, you kid is scared, don't apologize to the master if you're afraid, if you let your wife stay with the master for a few more days, the master will be happy and maybe he will really forgive you." The young man saw that he had suppressed Sun Wei with his father's name, so he said arrogantly again.
"Your name is Li Qiming?" Sun Wei didn't pay attention to the young man's arrogance, but asked.
"The master's name is Li Qi, not Li Qiming, as soon as I see that you kid has no future, I have the wrong name." Young Li Qi said contemptuously.
"Originally, I just wanted to teach you a lesson, but who made your father Li Gang, since I couldn't eliminate harm for the people in the previous life, it's actually nothing to do in this life." Sun Wei smiled as he spoke, and then said to his bodyguards: "Ah Hua, Ah Jian, first remove his chin, and then break his hands and feet, I want to see who this Wang Gang is, and what means make me unable to eat and walk around." ”
"Yes, boss!" Ah Hua and Ah Jian couldn't stand Li Qi's arrogance for a long time, if it wasn't for Sun Wei to stop him, they would have beaten him all over the ground just now, and now that they have an order, they naturally have no psychological burden.
"Boy, what are you doing, if you dare to touch me, my father will not let you go." Li Qi saw that Sun Wei didn't look like a bluff, and he was really a little flustered at this time.
"Let's go, boy, let Hua Ye help you loosen your muscles." Ah Hua and Ah Jian set up Li Qi on the left and right, and said as they walked out.
"Ah Wei, this is not good, will there be a big trouble?" Wang Qian asked Sun Wei a little worriedly.
"It's okay, I've got everything." Sun Wei hugged Wang Qian in his arms and comforted.
"Mother, and Lingling." At this time, Lingling, who had not made a sound, also hugged one of Wang Qian's legs and said.
"My baby, it's so filial, let Daddy kiss it." Sun Wei didn't expect his cheap daughter to be so bold, such a tense situation didn't cry, and he didn't see that even Xiaolan, who had always been spicy, was scared and turned white, which can be said to be a true response to the old Chinese saying, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will make holes.
"Uncle, I don't think that person is lying, maybe it's really the son of a powerful person, let's hurry up." Xiaolan persuaded a little fearfully at this time.
"This gentleman, I advise you to listen to the advice of this beautiful lady and leave quickly, Mr. Li just now is the son of Inspector Li Gang of the Hongkou Patrol House in the Public Concession, if he knew that his son was beaten, he would definitely not give up." The middle-aged white man, who had been watching from the wall, said suddenly.
"It turned out to be the son of Inspector Hongkou Patrol Fang, and I thought it was the son of Shanghai Dao when I heard his tone." Sun Wei was not as relaxed as he showed just now, and in today's underdeveloped information, he may not be able to point out where a child of a super boss will appear, but after listening to the words of the middle-aged white man, his worried heart finally let go.
"Oh, I don't think Mr. takes the inspector of the patrol room very seriously, and he is not a mortal compared to Mr., can I take the liberty of asking Mr. where he is high?" This middle-aged white man is estimated to have spent a lot of time in Shanghai, and he has learned the style of Chinese people by seven or eight points.
"The contemptible Sun Wei is also begging for a living in the patrol room, but he is in the central patrol room." Sun Wei explained.
"Sun Wei?" The middle-aged white man thought for a moment, and finally suddenly realized: "It turns out that Mr. is the famous Inspector Sun Wei of the Central Patrol Room, and I have to put the Inspector of the Hongkou Patrol Room in my eyes." David Andre, the foreman of the contemptible Jardine Matheson Foreign Company, was so neglectful and disrespectful just now. ”
The foreman of the foreign bank is also a middle-level leader in the foreign bank, but this identity has a bit of weight in front of ordinary Chinese, and it is not enough for a figure like Sun Wei who can dominate the concession.
"It's nothing, I just want to change my place to live, and I specially brought my family over to have a look, but I didn't expect to meet such a mad dog." Sun Wei said a little speechlessly.
"In fact, Mr. Li has valued this house for a long time just now, but the current land price is much more expensive than in previous years, and the funds in his hands are not sufficient, so he wants to scare away everyone who is interested in buying this house, and then take the opportunity to bargain, but I didn't expect to meet Inspector Sun this time, but he kicked it on the stone." David Andre smiled a little reluctantly.
"Can you put up with him maliciously lowering the price like this?" In Sun Wei's heart, the foreigners at this time were all bullying the Chinese, who would have thought that they would also be bullied by the Chinese.
"You know, after all, his father is the inspector of the patrol house, we can do business as much as possible, in your words, more is better than less, and the price he gave is only two thousand taels lower than the current sale price, within an acceptable range." David Andre explained.
