7. Businessmen
Nanjing Road is perhaps the most densely populated place in Shanghai, with more people, more money, and the most pickpockets.
I wish the child a pair of glasses, a style of Sven, and the clothes on his body are worth a lot. So soon thieves followed.
Although the pickpockets are not valued by the Jianghu sect, this is their territory, whether it is Zhu Tong or the stalker behind him, they will not easily provoke them.
The first to get into trouble was the stalker, who was a thief himself, and his behavior was so obvious that the local pickpockets thought they were peers who had crossed the line, and they were taken to the corner by two people after following a few hundred meters.
It didn't take long for Zhu Tong to see the fat man on the train, he took a look at Zhu Tong, smiled mysteriously, and flicked his left index finger three times on his chest.
This is a warning, and it is also a gesture to threaten to meet, the time is three o'clock, and the place is in the alley behind the fat man.
Zhu Tong has been doing "business" alone all these years, and the senior brother of this sect has not had much contact, and he doesn't want to pay attention to the snitch under the four poinsettias. Immediately shook his head gently at the fat man, and slid the two fingers of his right hand through the corners of his mouth, and then moved up and pushed his glasses.
This gesture means: everyone does not interfere with the river water, everyone eats their own food, and there is no need to deal with each other.
Everything was done in a photo, Zhu Tong led Qin Miao into the Chanel haute couture store, and the fat man was undoubtedly inappropriate for this occasion.
The pursuit of clothes for girls like Qin Miao is still between trendy and cheap, and Chanel fashion stores are only possible to visit when they are on sale; Zhu Tong didn't be silent this time, and under the guidance of the well-trained clerk, he selected two sets of clothes according to Qin Miao's age and figure, and asked the girls who were a little surprised to go to the fitting room to change in.
As soon as Qin Miao entered, Zhu Tong quickly left the fashion store under the pretext of buying cigarettes, and slowly approached the fat man who was wandering not far away.
Zhu Tong went to get off his glasses, spoke Shandong dialect, and said fiercely: "The current rivers and lakes are different from before, whoever is rich is the uncle, don't think that you are a four-poinsy person, I am afraid." Follow me again, beware that I will find a friend and cut off your wealth. I have some friends on the railway, and I also have friends in Shanghai, since ancient times, evil has been invincible, do you want to fight with the police? β
In terms of seniority, Zhu Tong is as tall as the head of Honghuo, and after his second senior brother was beaten out of the master by the master, he was very mixed up on the rivers and lakes, and he was very close to the Honghuomen; That's why he's so tough. This matter is really big, and it is also the fat man who did not do it right.
The fat man didn't expect Zhu Tong to have such an attitude, so he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Someone asked me to bring you a message, business needs to be done by everyone, and if you eat too much alone, there will be a danger of capsizing." β
"Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know how it will follow you? The name of the thousand-faced lone wolf Zhu Tong, our brothers have admired it for a long time. I recognized you on the train, don't think that a police friend is amazing, who doesn't feed a few dogs? β
The fat man finished speaking and left, leaving behind two sinister laughs.
Under the autumn sun, Nanjing Road was crowded with people, but Zhu Tong felt cold and empty.
Zhu Tong knows some simple disguise techniques, but he never becomes another person, and he thinks that he doesn't need to hide his "business" too much, although he never takes pictures.
But the name of the lone wolf with a thousand faces will not appear for no reason, and there must be someone behind it. The lone wolf represents ferocity and greed, and someone wants to destroy him.
When Zhu Tong returned to the fashion store, Qin Miao had already changed into a set of clothes, and what the girl wore in the flower season was so eye-catching, watching Qin Miao twist her waist and proudly show the beauty of life in front of her; Zhu Tong was in a better mood, laughed and applauded, and asked her to try another set.
The female clerk of the fashion store looked at Qin Miao enviously and brought over a glass of water, her eyes could tell who the buyer was.
Zhu Tong thanked him with a smile on his face, but he kept thinking nervously in his heart.
He had heard of the name of the lone wolf with a thousand faces, but he never thought of hanging it with himself, if the fat man was telling the truth, it would prove that his previous style had attracted the attention and even jealousy of some people.
Who is it? When Zhu Tong was with Master, there were not many people in the rivers and lakes; In the past few years, he has become even more alone, plus he likes a gorgeous and comfortable life, and the places he usually goes in and out are rarely visited by people in the rivers and lakes. Besides, the concept of rivers and lakes in Zhu Tong's heart is very weak, and he doesn't think that there is anything wrong with him, but he didn't expect that the rivers and lakes would not let him go, and someone finally came to the door.
The first batch of suspicions by Zhu Tong were his two senior brothers, who were sentenced to six years in prison for a mistake in Chongqing the year before last, and are still serving their sentences in a prison, he should not do such a thing to himself.
The second senior brother, that is a cheerful person, after leaving the master's door, he mingled in the famous mountains and rivers as a Taoist priest or monk, and walked in various tourist spots with the season like a migratory bird; His way is to contract temples and Taoist temples, sometimes to see people for medical treatment, there are fashion gods and ghosts, and the main way of wealth is to sell utensils to ward off evil spirits; There are a group of apprentices under him, and the business has been doing well in the past few years, so he should not interfere in his own affairs.
If it weren't for the two senior brothers, the problem might be Yanzi; The old liar said that women are fickle animals, and predicted that Zhu Tong would be planted in the hands of women sooner or later. The old liar said: Although you seem to be cold as iron, it is because you have never been emotional, if you meet a red face nemesis, this road will come to an end.
Yanzi was born in Wupin Qingyang, one of the eight factions of the rivers and lakes, and was originally a water family in northern Sichuan, and used to sell smuggled salt, and now, he is still a smuggled salt.
They have a trick of transporting salt on the water, and they have been holding back before, but after the government implemented the monopoly of the salt industry, Wupin Qingxiang began to be active in the rivers and lakes again.
There are abundant salt mines in northern Sichuan, and as long as the opportunity is suitable, Wupin Qingyang will always pick up the old business.
The acquaintance with Yanzi was purely accidental, after Zhu Tong finished a "business" two years ago; Traveling to northern Sichuan, one is to relax and appreciate the customs of Sichuan beauties, and the other is to avoid the limelight; Zhu Tong respects the old liar's experience in his life: after completing a single "business", no matter whether it is successful or not, he must immediately run away.
Yanzi is a small and delicate beauty, with a quarter of Tibetan blood flowing in her body, and she has the whiteness and straightforwardness unique to a woman in Sichuan. At that time, Zhu Tong was a standard backpacker, mingling in a group of hikers across the mountains and rivers between Jiuzhaigou and Jianmen Pass; Yanzi joined the tour group halfway, and it didn't take long for the two people in the rivers and lakes to understand each other's identities.
Zhu Tong only does one or two "business" a year, and usually lives in Qingdao and Dalian, where he rents a residence.
When he is not in business, Zhu Tong is like a student, attending multiple training courses with various universities, and most of the time he is studying. In fact, he is still a finance student at a private university in Qingdao, and Zhu Tong's ambition is to be a "big businessman".
The old liar said: "Big businessman" is the highest level of a liar, there are many things to master, and there is also a certain amount of capital.
After getting to know Yanzi, Zhu Tong and Yanzi spent a sweet time in Dalian. Of course, it is more convenient to cooperate with each other than alone, and after doing three big "business" in two years, the study will be interrupted, and Yanzi is always afraid that Zhu Tong will meet other women in schools and training classes with beautiful women.
Half a month ago, Yanzi suddenly wanted to go home, and asked Zhu Tong to go back with him.
Yanzi's mind is to get married, which violates Zhu Tong's bottom line.
After the master's lesson, I wish the child to make up his mind to not start a family; Facing the tears of the smoke, Zhu Tong handed over a credit card: "There is one million in it, which you deserve in the past two years; I said at the beginning that we are together as a cooperative relationship, and I don't want to be worried, that is self-defeating. β
It is undeniable that in the two years he has been with Yanzi, Zhu Tong has had the idea of starting a family; Smoke is an excellent companion both in bed and in "business". But Yanzi's greed dispelled Zhu Tong's thoughts; After the woman of the northern Sichuan family became familiar with Zhu Tong's "business" method, she began to admire the five-body throw, and even praised Zhu Tong as a wise master.
However, when Yanzi saw the wider world and repeatedly persuaded Zhu Tong to expand the scope of "business", at that time the two happened to pick oil in the secret, Zhu Tong was confused for a while, and did a single cross-line "business" in Shenyang. The business was done, and the two got 800,000 yuan, but the process was really dangerous, and the consequences were also very serious.
The object of that "business" was chosen by Yanzi, the CEO of a successful real estate company; After Yanzi pretended to be a clerk and sneaked in, he installed multiple *** in the boss's office and home. Those three months were the most nervous period for Zhu Tong, but Yanzi showed exuberant energy, and seemed to experience exciting and thrilling things, which was enjoyable for her.
When the customs was finally closed, Zhu Tong felt the danger and left Shenyang decisively to pick up the cigarettes in Jinzhou. Not long after Yanzi entered, he made a move on the computer of the finance department of the real estate company, and what made the other party succumb at the last moment was not the things that Yanzi mastered, but a set of bank data in Zhu Tong's hand. This thing is also being learned, and the smoke is even less clear about what it is for.
After the incident, Yanzi didn't know the danger and complained that Zhu Tong was too careful and made 800,000 yuan less. She didn't know how dangerous she was in a situation, and Zhu Tong didn't tell her the key to it; Because by that time the little liar had already made up his mind to part ways with her.
After the smoke left, Zhu Tong vaguely felt the risk, so he hurriedly came to Shanghai to collect the net; Now it seems that the one who is most likely to be plotting him behind his back is this former helper.
The old liar said that it is good to have a helper, but to do this business is to grab food from the knife, and it is necessary to make a decision immediately; Therefore, the prerequisite for a helper is to be absolutely loyal, not too smart, not too greedy, and not self-asserted.
At that time, Yanzi's loyalty was naturally no problem, but the last three precepts were violated, and from Yanzi, Zhu Tong once again realized the wisdom of the master.
Qin Miao patted Zhu Tong's shoulder: "Hey! Li Xiang, what are you thinking? See, how. Zhu Tong retracted his thoughts and looked at the girl who was spinning in circles in front of him.
After half an afternoon, Qin Miao had already replaced Doctor Li with Li Xiang, and the distance was getting closer, but it was not close enough.
Chanel's brand represents romantic, gorgeous, and elegant French style, and this set of lady's clothes is perfect for Qin Miao. The wildness on Yanzi's body is too strong, and she also has a few sets of Chanel, but she can't wear the pure charm of Qin Miao.
From the bottom of his bones, Zhu Tong doesn't quite recognize that there are too many rivers and lakes in women.
"Very good, wearing this body, you are more princess than a princess." Zhu Tong applauded and praised, and gently imprinted a light kiss on Qin Miao's face; When she was intoxicated, surprised, and shy, she took out her credit card and handed it to the clerk: "We want it, no discount." β
"Two sets? Mr. The female clerk was well-trained and asked softly.
Zhu Tong nodded and stopped Qin Miao's protest: "You invite me to dinner, I will give you clothes, this is very reasonable, who doesn't want their girlfriend to dress beautifully?" β
Reasonable or not, it's a reason not to embarrass girls.
Qin Miao, like other girls, has almost zero resistance to romance and fashion, and after receiving Zhu Tong's praise, especially the "girlfriend", she is simply dangling in the clouds; Touching this set of clothes that is sky-high for her, her eyes can drip with happiness.
This is a heavy punch, after Qin Miao accepted Chanel, the matching shoes, perfume and the like became natural. The watch and jewelry did not match this time, and Zhu Tong was afraid of scaring this fawn-like girl.
What she would think, for the crooks, was to leave some room for the future.
Walking out of the pedestrian street, Zhu Tong took a taxi to send Qin Miao back to the Marine Medical College, and the two people naturally held hands together on the road.
Qin Miao did not refuse, her soft palms were damp and trembling slightly, Zhu Tong was a little optimistic about estimating, the girl who was soft on her body was still about **.
"Can you go back first? I still have something to do and call you at night. β
Zhu Tong sent Qin Miao to the school gate and put an end to this meeting.
Obviously, Qin Miao was reluctant to break up, but Zhu Tong made an appointment with Huang Hai to go to Su Juan's house, and he was facing danger and was about to use Huang Hai's identity as a shield at some point. Qin Miao also needed to take this opportunity to digest the stimulation left by Zhu Tong, and when they met in the evening, her attitude would change.
If you push too hard, you will drop the chain, which is also the experience of an old liar, but it is sublimated by a little liar to deal with a little girl.
"I'll wait for your call. You should also pay attention to your injuries and remember to go to the hospital to change your dressing. Qin Miao responded obediently and walked into the door with his head down.
On the way back, taxis cut through traffic; Zhu Tong didn't care about the speed of the car, his thoughts had already drifted to the outside world, and he was measuring the current situation: if it was really the smoke making trouble behind his back, would this "business" in Shanghai be done or not?
Is there still morality and chivalry in modern rivers and lakes? If the people in the rivers and lakes in the past still paid attention to some rivers and lakes, the current rivers and lakes are the same as today's society, full of money and interests; A deep wall has been built between people and between factions, and only interests are the only bridge, which is why Zhu Tong insists on doing "business" alone.
He has the closest relationship with the second senior brother, and he has only seen each other for half a year and a year.
There are still some shadows of morality in the current style of Qipin Zhumen, but there is not even a head in Zhutong's generation. Several disciples of the old liar thought: The old liar may have seen everything through, so he deliberately let this problem pass away with him, and perhaps, he intended to make Zhumen withdraw from the ranks of the eight products of the rivers and lakes.
It is always difficult for people to judge the situation, so they will pin their hopes for success on the respect of others for a certain ideal or even belief. This sentence from the old liar reminded Zhu Tong: it is time to leave Shanghai immediately and cut off contact with this "business".
But if you really do this, more than half a year's efforts will be in vain, and there is still that estimated income, about two million earnings. Wang Juefei is a greedy person, he has the title of medical doctor, and he is also a well-known expert in marine disease research, and his status in the marine hospital is noble and unrestrained, and he has no regard for receiving kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies; Zhu Tong roughly calculated an account for him, Wang Juefei has been the director of Ocean Hospital for five years, and he has collected at least 20 million black money.
One of the five is one of the rules of conduct of Zhumen; It was a figure lower than taxes, a figure that made most "business" people feel uncomfortable, and a figure that displeased Smokers, she thought, at least half of it.
Of course, to remove the cost, when negotiating, Zhu Tong will explain all this truthfully to the other party, so that it is reasonable. To do any business must have capital, in Zhumen, the meaning of capital has two, one refers to the material investment in the early stage, and the other is vision and experience.
If you don't have money, you can't do a big business, you can't even find a chance to do business. Zhu Tong is more proud of the fact that most of the people who have done "business" with him will not hate him, and two of them have even become friends with him.
After receiving the benefits he deserves, Zhu Tong will point out the flaws that the other party should pay attention to one by one, and teach the other party how to cover up and hide the black money; In a certain sense, Zhu Tong is more like a prosecutor or consultant, and after his guidance, the probability of accidents for those deans is greatly reduced.
Don't push people to the bottom of the road, that's how the old liar taught the little liar; The old liar also said: There is no reason to talk about women and greedy people.
Therefore, Zhu Tong never discusses details with Yanzi; This is also one of the reasons for the estrangement between the two.
Qin Miao, yes, the other party is with Qin Miao; The fat man found himself from Qin Miao's side. Zhu Tong's heart lit up, he took the police car with Ye'er after getting off the train yesterday, the fat man and they definitely couldn't keep up with the police car, and they didn't dare to follow the police car; That's why I followed three trainee nurses.
This proves two things: one is that the other party's behavior on the train is not accidental, but to test whether he is the lone wolf with a thousand faces; Second, they didn't know the content of Zhu Tong's "business" this time, and if they knew, they would directly follow Qingmei instead of Qin Miao.
After thinking about it clearly, Zhu Tong's heart fell and decided to continue this business.
There will always be wind and rain on the rivers and lakes, and the little liar asks himself if he is not a fool who can't withstand the wind and rain.
After Zhu Tong returned to the hotel lobby, he dialed Huang Hai's phone; It's not that he doesn't remember the way to Su Juan's house, as a qualified liar, he has a good memory and sense of direction, as long as he has been anywhere once, he will remember it deeply. The address he reported to the taxi driver was the community where Su Juan lived, and when he passed by this hotel, he realized that Huang Hai's identity was a policeman, and he would be professionally sensitive to any unreasonable phenomenon, so Zhu Tong immediately got out of the car and waited in the hotel lobby.
Huang Hai was still on duty, and immediately drove to the hotel after receiving a call from Zhu Tong, and took him to the car while apologizing that he did not entertain Zhu Tong for dinner at noon.
The police car soon arrived downstairs at Su Juan's house, Huang Hai was still on duty, called Ye'er to come down to greet Zhu Tong, and said that he would come to eat with him in the evening, and left without going upstairs.
Su Juan was off duty at home, and when she saw Zhu Tong entering the door, she poked her head out of the kitchen and said that she was going to make a table of authentic Suzhou cuisine, and thanked Zhu Tong for this life-saving benefactor.
Zhu Tong was polite and drank two sips of tea; The leaves during the day are not a trace of sickness, like a delicate lilac flower, quiet and elegant. Zhu Tong has never dared to face those innocent big eyes since they met, and like yesterday, the little liar felt tremendous pressure; Clumsy tongue, confused mind, unable to speak.
Zhu Tong didn't like this feeling, and stood up and said that he wanted to go to the boudoir where she lived.
It's a good excuse that sometimes the root cause of illness lies in those inconspicuous places.
