At half past two in the afternoon, I walked into Boss Xu's mansion from the main entrance with my bag on my back.

Because this place is a bit special, it won't be as full as the Rui/Li Gambling Stone Shop. In addition, there are very few people who come here to see the stones during this time period, so after I went in, I quickly saw Boss Xu's figure.

At the same time that I discovered him, he also noticed me.

Maybe I didn't expect me to suddenly appear here at this time, so that he looked at me with obvious surprise. After a moment of froze for two seconds, he immediately laughed and greeted me.

"Brother Zhaoyang! What's going on today? Did you come on your own? What about Brother Qiang? ”

After getting along with each other twice, Boss Xu and I are now more familiar. He put his hand on my shoulder with great enthusiasm, as if he were calling me a brother.

I smiled at him and replied politely: "I came here by myself today, mainly because there is something I want to discuss with Boss Xu." ”

Because I have a request now, I put myself in a very low position. It's not that I deliberately admit it or anything, it's just that this can make Boss Xu feel more comfortable, and at the same time, it can also avoid some unnecessary trouble.

Boss Xu smiled and immediately said to me, "What's the matter, brother?" You say that as long as I can help, I will do my best to help you. ”

He said it nicely, but I didn't take it to heart at all. Now that this society is so realistic, this kind of scene is just talk. I know very well in my heart that if I can't come up with some practical benefits, Boss Xu will definitely not be able to help me.

probably took this into account, so Boss Xu's eyes were obviously a little shiny when he looked at me. After all, I have won a lot of bets on stones in the previous two times, and he naturally hopes to make a lot of money from me.

I know these things very well, but I can't say them too directly.

I naturally took out a cigarette and handed it to Boss Xu, lit it for him, and then lit another one for myself.

"Brother Xu."

I just changed to a more affectionate name.

"This place may not be convenient to talk, you see, if you have time, I will invite you to have afternoon tea, right?"

Xu Wanshan looked at me with interest, thought for a while, and then replied with a smile: "Okay, since you said so, then I definitely have to drink this afternoon tea no matter what." ”

Seeing Xu Wanshan's promise so refreshingly, I also felt a little more relaxed in my heart.

After that, I didn't continue to talk nonsense with him, and directly chose a nearby hotel with a higher grade and set off. Originally, I wanted to take a taxi, but Xu Wanshan had a car, so we went directly to his car.

After entering the box and talking a few words, I began to get straight to the point.

"That's like this, Brother Xu, I have a stone here, I want to put it in your house for consignment."

As soon as I said this, Xu Wanshan's eyes lit up. He is very aware of my gambling stone skills, so in his opinion, the stones I am willing to consign will definitely be a sought-after item. When the time comes, he will only need to polish it a little and raise the price of the stone even more. Then when the stone is sold, he can make a lot of money from it.

I guess that's what he thought in his heart, but when he saw the stone I took out of his bag, his excited eyes dimmed a lot. He frowned slightly, and said to me with some incomprehension, "You're not mistaken, are you?" Brother Zhaoyang, the stone you want to consign, is this? ”

I was not surprised that he would have this kind of reaction. After all, this stone is indeed very ordinary, although the probability of winning it is very high, but it can win tens of thousands of dollars if it dies. Of course, Xu Wanshan can't get any benefit from such a stone. So he was particularly disappointed.

I didn't think there was a problem at all, on the contrary, I was very calm. I smiled and said to Xu Wanshan: "Brother Xu, you may have misunderstood. The reason why I want to sell this stone on consignment is not to make money from it. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

Xu Wanshan looked at me suspiciously, and his brows furrowed a little deeper.

"I want to lure someone in with this stone."

I smiled calmly, and then explained in detail the plan I wanted to design Lin Junkai.

"Brother Xu, I will transfer 100,000 yuan to you. When the time comes, as long as the stone bet wins, you will use the money to buy it. Then you can do whatever you want, preferably to the death, as long as he can get the money. ”

After a moment's pause, I continued, "I won't ask for a cent of the money you make from him." In addition, I will give you an additional 200,000 yuan, which is a thank you for helping me with this. ”

After listening carefully to my words, Xu Wanshan stared into my eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he finally nodded and said to me: "I can help you with this matter, but I don't want the 200,000." ”

He'd say that, and I thought of it. After all, he was a businessman, and he must have hoped that he could get more out of this transaction. It's just that I don't want to spend too much money in this area, firstly, I am not so rich, and secondly, it is not worth it to deal with a mongrel like Lin Junkai.

I was thinking about how to persuade Xu Wanshan, but I didn't expect him to change his words, and then said to me: "I only want you to take me to gamble on a stone, as long as you are willing, then I will do my best to help you with this matter you told me." ”

I looked at Xu Wanshan and was slightly stunned, to be honest, I didn't expect the condition he proposed to me would be this. After all, it has almost nothing to lose for me, it's like helping me unconditionally. However, I thought about it cautiously, and still said to Xu Wanshan very politely: "Brother Xu, if you want to play with me with stones, I am definitely one hundred willing." But there is a premise that I have to make clear to you, and you know that we are risky to gamble on stones. If you want to play with me, then we will lose or win at that time, and we will have to bear the risk ourselves. ”

"I know that."

Xu Wanshan smiled very calmly, and then said: "I know your strength very well, if I still lose in the end after playing with you, it can only mean that I really don't have this life, don't worry, I won't blame you." ”

Hearing him say this, a trace of gratitude rose in my heart. In fact, he could have offered some conditions that were more favorable to him, but he did not do so. Although there may be some plans of his own, it is a help to me anyway.

I was very happy, so I smiled and said to Xu Wanshan: "Okay, Brother Xu, since you said so, then next time we will play together, I will definitely choose well, and try to let us cooperate for a win-win situation." ”

In the following time, I sent Lin Junkai's photo to Xu Wanshan, and then told him some details of the plan. After making sure everything was fine, I handed him the stone.

After separating from Xu Wanshan, it was less than five o'clock, and I was thinking about whether to go home directly, but I suddenly received a call from Chen Liqun.

Because I had just controlled Fang Yao yesterday, when I saw Chen Liqun calling me at this time, I subconsciously thought about whether Fang Yao had told Chen Liqun and Peng Yibo about me. However, the idea only existed in my mind for a few seconds before I rejected it.

Fang Yao is obviously not such a stupid woman, so Chen Liqun must have taken the initiative to find me because of something else.

I adjusted my state a little and then the phone was answered.

"Hey, Zhaoyang, you should have returned to Jianye, right?"

"I'm back, Brother Qun, what's the matter?"

"Where are you now? I don't have anything else to do, it's just that you didn't invest some money in me last time, and now the income is very good, so I want to meet with you and talk about it in detail. ”

As soon as he said that, I understood what was going on. On the surface, though, I was shocked.

"Won't you? Is there a profit so quickly? You're too awesome on this project, isn't it? ”

Chen Liqun smiled on the other end of the phone, and then said to me pretendly: "Nonsense, can the project in my hand be bad?" As I told you, this is a sure-fire project, but your investment is too small, so you don't make too much money. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you can earn it."

"Zhaoyang, it's not me talking about you, you see your potential, hey, forget it, let's come out and talk about it."

In this way, I made an appointment with Chen Liqun to meet at a café.

What he meant was actually very simple, that is, the money I invested in him before has now made a profit of 50,000 yuan, and it is in less than half a month. So he hoped that I could find a way to mobilize more money so that after a while, I would be able to make more money.

However, I rejected his suggestion outright. After all, I now know very well what this investment project is all about, and even if this project does make a lot of money, I am not willing to take this risk. What's more, Fang Yao is now under my control, if he knows that I am also secretly involved in this project, then we are equivalent to being in the same boat, and then she will naturally be unable to be controlled by me anymore, and it is even possible to bite me back.

After learning my thoughts, Chen Liqun looked at me with obvious contempt.

"You kid is too conservative, you just invested so little money, not to mention no loss, and the rate of return is so high, as a result, not only do you not plan to continue to invest more, but you also have to withdraw all the principal and profits, what kind of brain circuit are you?"

I smiled and pretended to be stupid and said to Chen Liqun: "Brother Qun, I originally had the mentality of giving it a try, and I didn't think about how much money I could make in the end. Besides, I'm a little short of money right now, and I need money for several places in my home, so I'm not going to invest with you for the time being. I'll come back to you when I'm more comfortable later. ”

Chen Liqun snorted, and said a little impatiently: "Do you think my project is so easy to get into, you were lucky last time, don't you know?" Next time, I don't know if there will be such an opportunity next time. ”

He shook his head as he spoke, and he didn't know what he was sorry about, could it be that if I make less money, he will still suffer losses? I didn't think much about it, anyway, the most important thing at the moment was to get the money back and get out of the project completely.

"Okay, since you've said so, then I won't ink with you. The money will be transferred to you now, and you can do it yourself. You can still come to me if you have something in the future, but I can't guarantee that you will have this opportunity to make money. ”

"Thank you, Brother Qun, I know your kindness. I'm already very grateful for you to help me this time, really, no matter whether I can make money with you in the future, I won't complain. ”

Chen Liqun didn't talk nonsense with me anymore, he quickly transferred 150,000 yuan to me.

I watched the account balance change from 3.61 million to 3.76 million, and I felt a sense of comfort in my heart again.

After this matter was settled, I had a few more idle words with Chen Liqun. Originally, I thought about simply inviting him to a meal in the evening, but he had an appointment, so I didn't insist on it.

Separated from Chen Liqun from the coffee shop, I took a taxi back home.

There is still no one at home, my mother should still be working outside, and as for his wife, she may be with Liu Zhiyu.

I'm too lazy to think about such boring things.

For me now, my wife is basically like a humanoid doll. I just want to get back what belongs to me from her, and I also want to take revenge on Liu Zhiyu. As for the rest, I didn't care about it for a long time.

After dinner, I simply cleaned the house.

It was almost nine o'clock when I sat on the couch and lit a cigarette and began to think quietly.

Now that everything on Fang Yao's side is under my control, Lin Junkai has completely fallen into the trap I set. Now it seems that the most difficult problem is only He Yongqiang and Mrs. L.

Of course, Ye Qingyi and Liu Zhiyu have not found an excellent breakthrough for the time being. However, Ye Qingyi will not have an adverse impact on me at present, and Liu Zhiyu basically knows nothing about me. So the two of them, I don't have to think too much about it for now. As long as I find a way to deal with He Yongqiang and then catch the line of Mrs. L, then I will be considered a big success.

It's easy to think about, but I don't have a clue how to do it. He Yongqiang is also a perennial figure in the gray area, and with my current strength, there is basically no possibility of competing with him. The only thing I can rely on is Mrs. L's bargaining chip. It's just that I don't know when she's going to take action.

He Yongqiang hasn't contacted me for more than a week, and he's going to call me out these days. I was anxious, not afraid of him. I just want to get out of his control as soon as possible, and then rescue Shishi completely.

I was a little hesitant to take the initiative to call Mrs. L and ask her what she thought.

Just then, my phone rang suddenly.

I subconsciously thought that Mrs. L and I thought of a piece, but when I picked it up and looked at it, I realized that it was my wife who called.

I frowned slightly, instinctively repulsed.

Isn't this woman supposed to be having fun outside right now? How did you suddenly remember to call me?

I unconsciously remembered the situation when she and Liu Zhiyu called me when they opened the room that day, and I suddenly became even more unhappy.

I pressed the connect button, and I didn't say a word, just waiting for my wife to speak.

The sound on the other side of the earpiece was a little noisy, and it took a little while for his wife's voice to come.

"Hey~ Husband, are you home?"

I could tell from her intoxicated tone that she must have been drinking a lot of alcohol right now.

I was a little impatient, so I casually said to her, "Returned." ”

"Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

"I also just finished being busy, seeing that you are not at home, I know that you are playing outside, so I don't want to disturb you."

"You're my husband, how can you say it's bothering me?"

I listened to my wife's coquettish words, and I felt a little sick in my heart.

I thought she wasn't going to come back tonight, so I didn't talk to her anymore, but just said to her, "Are you going to stay outside tonight?" ”

"Of course not, you're all back, how can I sleep outside?"

The wife said drunkly.

"I was attending a class reunion before, and now I've just finished eating, and I'm here at Yuquan Restaurant, can you pick me up?"

Hearing my wife say this, I was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

You know, since my family went bankrupt, she didn't seem to let me pick her up anymore, mainly because she was afraid that I would embarrass her in front of her classmates. But now she's suddenly letting me over, and I'm feeling weird. I didn't think much of it though, I don't have anything to do right now anyway, and since she asked me to come over, I'll pick her up.

"Okay, then you wait for me for a while, I'll go over now."

"Okay husband, hurry up, boom~"

Hanging up the phone, I frowned and shook my head.

It seems that my wife really drank a lot today, and even took the initiative to kiss me on the phone.

I felt incredible, and after changing my clothes, I opened the door and went downstairs.

Considering that my wife should be in a drunken state now, I just took a taxi.

In less than twenty minutes, I came to the door of Yuquan Restaurant.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw my wife. She wore a sexy and revealing tight skirt, showing off her figure advantages to the fullest. Beside her, Sun Siyi was smiling and saying something to her. She was also dressed in a revealing outfit, and many passers-by were staring at them intentionally or unintentionally.

In addition to Sun Siyi, there was also a man standing next to them. He looks very handsome, and his clothes are not bad. I guess this man should be their classmate, so I didn't think too much about it, and walked straight to them.

At this time, when my wife saw me, she smiled and beckoned to me and called "husband~"

Sun Siyi and the man also looked at me at the same time, and I smiled politely at them.

As a result, before I could speak, the man smiled and said to me, "Brother, where is your car parked?" ”
