Chapter Seventy-Three: Men's Play
In October, the weather in the south is already bitterly cold, no colder than the north on the surface, the evening breeze in October blows through the road, blows through the trees, and finally blows to a Spanish-style two-story building can be stopped, take a closer look, it happens to be the door of the Lu Mansion.
Buildings like this abound in the concession, they are isolated islands standing in the great era, where parties can be held at any time, and parties here are also due, and parties in peacetime are just blindly adjusted, but in times of war, it can be regarded as a carnival of the end of the world.
Wan Xianshan always wears a long shirt, he doesn't wear a suit, he doesn't like a suit, other people's carnivals have nothing to do with him, he only cares about his own comings and goings, men and women are fashionable and modern one by one, shaking his head, he doesn't look at it, he is like Mount Tai, because when he reaches his status, he no longer has to cater to anyone.
On the edge of the dance floor, they were crowded in pairs, and he led people straight through, and on the dance floor, he caught Lu Chaozong, who was a guest of the Guanghui, and then politely 'asked' him to show them the way, so that they could talk freely in the relatively quiet room and discuss their livelihood.
Lu Chaozong has a good father to support him, and his waist pole is already supported by a gun, in fact, he doesn't have to give the surname Wan face like this, he himself thinks so, but it's a pity that the first time the two sides met, he didn't get off to a good start, he was suppressed once, he was suppressed again and again, and the women who robbed him had already rushed to the door of the hotel, or was intercepted halfway, his waist pole was straight and up, and he couldn't stand up, how could he not pose the prince's score in front of Boss Wan, Wan Xianshan just sat there, and knew who was the oldest, Who is that ancestor?
He usually has to brew for a while before he speaks, from the tone to the wording, but Boss Wan didn't think to be polite to him, as soon as he entered the hospitality room, he found a place to sit down, Wan Xianshan didn't know that the seat he was sitting on was the master's seat, Lu Mingda was not there, Lu Chaozong wouldn't go to touch his ass at all, in someone's mansion, he was a taboo - but then again, what if he made a mistake knowingly, did Lu Chaozong dare not let him sit?
Wan Xianshan put one hand on the armrest of the sofa, and the other hand rested firmly on his lap, looking at him with the eyes of a lamb, thinking: Young man.
Young people, except for being young, they are basically useless, they are not as old as their own, it is useless to give him a father, the period of warlord melee has long passed, and his father is not self-contained, the national army can collect the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command with a collection order, and the gun is reduced to a big stick, what else is he going to fight?
With such an attitude, Wan Xianshan inadvertently looked down on the person opposite, and then he didn't give Lu Dagongzi time to brew, took the initiative to break the quiet, and said leisurely: "The sea wharf in Shanghai has always been handled by my people, Lu Gongzi may not be familiar with this piece, it doesn't matter, these expenses should be a lesson, there were three batches of transportation routes before, and how many goods sank into the sea in the three batches, you make a price, and it is mine." ”
The surname Wan deducted three batches of goods from him, and the last batch was even directly snatched and thrown into the sea, and now there is a thief shouting at him to catch the thief, Lu Chaozong is about to hang the sentence to his mouth, "Raised by a son of a bitch, and ran to Lao Tzu to play a scoundrel" to scold, fortunately, the stick that Lu Dujun broke when he taught his son was not in vain, and his temper was not too violent, not at all, so a face was three green and five green, and this swear word was suffocated.
"Boss Wan, this time, it's really wrong to blame me."
Since it is not a trivial matter, if Lu Chaozong holds it back, he can really hold it back, but he first softened his complexion, and tried his best to make those fox eyes appear more sincere: "It's not that I deliberately want to encroach on Boss Wan's territory, it's really a big deal, for the sake of the future of our Lu family, I have to take the risk and want to come to Shanghai to try it out and see if I can find a new situation." ”
Wan Xianshan was slightly interested in what he said, and wanted to listen to what the so-called 'new situation' was in the mouth of Grand Prince Lu.
Mr. Lu held a party for a few days, and only waited until Boss Wan came to the door in person, naturally he had prepared a full draft in his abdomen, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to say a fart when he opened his mouth.
"I believe Boss Wan also knows the situation in Nanjing." He sat opposite and talked eloquently: "It's not a secret, although the momentum of the national army is just right now, the reserves are excellent, and I don't have to deal with the Japanese, but after all, my father is a temporary appointment, although the position of the overseer has a heavy army, but this kind of position, people want to give it, a letter of appointment is issued, it is better than nothing, the people above want us to fight, and if we want to withdraw, we will withdraw, really speaking, it is not a matter of one sentence, Boss Wan, right?" ”
Wan Xianshan heard a little clue, so he raised his eyebrows: "Yes, that's right, so it seems that Lu Lao doesn't want to be an overseer, and it is estimated that he wants to follow our Yuan Gong to become a president, this idea is indeed very bold in the literal sense." ”
Lu Chaozong knew that it was not easy to get out of Nanjing's control, so he was not annoyed when he was ridiculed, and added: "My father does not have such a great vision, he just works for others, and he will be wronged one day. ”
He sat down, bowed his back slightly, clasped his hands in front of him, and quickly formed a cross, which was really a very low posture: "We are also thinking about the future, so we have to start as soon as possible and make some preparations in advance." ”
Wan Xianshan pondered for a while, and the time of the silence was neither long nor short, it was full of appetite, so that Lu Chaozong especially wanted to find someone to chisel his brain to see if there was a quasi-word.
Of course, Boss Wan's head can't just be opened, Lu Chaozong is already extremely impatient to wait, and he is about to open his mouth to ask, who knows that Wan Xianshan is absolutely enough, he has been thinking about it for so long, and finally he didn't even ask.
He noticed that the person opposite suddenly changed his sitting posture, and when he was still anxious, a sentence suddenly popped up: "Warehouse No. 16, South Road Wharf." ”
Lu Chaozong was stunned for a moment, and after being stunned, he immediately laughed, slapped his face, and said, "Okay, Boss Wan is refreshing enough!" The father's future supplies and military supplies will pass through you. ”
Wan Xianshan is willing to provide convenience, what kind of concept is this, it is equivalent to an impermeable deep well directly opened a skylight, and hurried up.
Lu Chaozong was very happy, even if he thought that the old and new hatreds before seemed to be able to be eliminated a little, and replaced them with one or two nice words.
"There was some misunderstanding between us before, but the misunderstanding is a misunderstanding, people can't always get along with money, and now it's hard to talk about anything else, but I pack the ticket, as long as Boss Wan is willing to help with this, there is no need to mention thank you, the key is this favor." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wanted to finalize the deal: "I believe that we will have more in-depth cooperation in the future, and with the words of my Lu family here, I guarantee that Boss Wan will not suffer." ”
Wan Xianshan sat very calmly and did not shake hands with him.
The smile like a spring breeze still hangs on his lips, it is really a spring breeze in winter, which can be called boundless.
The reason for cozy is very simple, because you don't need to worry about your face, so you must be ruthless, you are ruthless enough, and your posture inside is not so oppressive, you can be kind and calm, this is not how much you value each other, it is your understanding and respect for yourself.
This is how a man should be.
"As the old saying goes, if you want to stand on your own, you must first learn to be soft."
Wan Xianshan's smile is maintained very well, as if when he arrives at someone's house, he can transform in place and become someone's big brother.
It's a pity that the mouth is open, and what comes out is still not human words: "I said ugly things in front, and the warehouse is not borrowed for you in vain, don't think that I only stare at your things by sea, the station is full of people, you don't dare to take the military train, then don't blame me for deducting the goods privately, and the accounts still have to be redrawn." ”
Lu Chaozong asked, "How to draw?" ”
Wan Xianshan raised the back of his hand, and his five fingers slowly opened.
"Half."
............
Lu Chaozong forcibly suppressed a bad breath, like his grandson, with good words and good voices, and sent the amiable, respectable and terrible Boss Wan out to Haosheng all the way.
As soon as Wan Xianshan left, Chen Fengnian, who was hiding in the shadows, didn't know where he came out, as if he had fallen to the ground and taken root, and could grow from the corner of the Lu Mansion anytime and anywhere.
After many days, he is still so good-looking, well-dressed, white and lovely.
Lu Chaozong lost the good face just now, especially the little white face of the Chen family, the identity of the little white face was no different from him before, but unfortunately now that he is down, he sees him as similar to the domestic servant.
It was when he was secretly sulking, but he turned his face back and looked at the fallen boy seriously.
Feelings these days to study this Chen San, he also studied new fun, treat him as a rare animal, the more you look at it, the more you look at it, the more fun it becomes.
"You're kind of funny."
Lu Chaozong observed him with his spare eyes, and had the heart to poke his sore feet: "Hey, I specially helped you see it today, your woman didn't come, Wan Xianshan is very tight, I guess he probably just played to the head, so he refuses to let it go until now." ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Fengnian's face was really a little ugly, but it was also mixed with despair, more of a helpless ugliness.
"Peron...... That's what she is. ”
The words are ordinary, but they sound warm and ironing, Chen Fengnian doesn't like others to describe his Pei Long like this, and unconsciously excuses her: "She knows best about good and bad, I know her, she will definitely not come." ”
'Hiss' with a snort, Lu Chaozong was very disdainful of his style of speaking that he wanted to talk about, stretched out his hand a little, and directly pointed to the tip of the nose of the little white face, his face was not good, he was angry, and said: "I don't care about you and that woman, you also heard what you said just now, the oil and salt surnamed Wan don't enter, and the lion opened his mouth widely, and he fucking asked me to cut out half of it!" ”
Chen Fengnian was pointed out by him again and again, at this time he could see the benefits of staying abroad, his cultivation was really good, no matter how low or degraded Lu Chaozong was, he would not be angry, he was a noble and down-and-out guest, still valuable, and did not need to be pitied by others.
"It's man-made."
Chen Fengnian turned around and took out the wine bottle in the glass cabinet, good burgundy, Lu Chaozong is very good at the way of pleasure, he knows that as long as this cup of alcohol is poured down, although the face of the eldest prince of Lu is still cloudy, it will at least become a little easier to speak.
"Since it's not a final word, it means that he is interested in this matter."
His hands were slender, and he poured wine like a painting, and poured a glass for Lu Chaozong in a blink of an eye: "Maybe you will have to make some concessions later, but according to my original assumption, your price should have been lowered this time, maybe you can mean it later, half is too much, but a box gives twenty, he has collected enough money, presumably he will not care about what is in the wagon." ”
"I made a condition with Wan Xianshan according to what you said." Lu Chaozong raised his head and drank a drink: "I hope he doesn't interfere, otherwise I can't guarantee that everything this time will be transported smoothly." ”
He paused for a moment, looked at Chen Fengnian as if uncertain, and asked softly, "A box of twenty?" ”
Chen Fengnian nodded: "Yes, a box of twenty." ”
After getting the definite answer, Lu Chaozong was dumbfounded for a while, and his eyes automatically half-narrowed: "Then I'm really bleeding heavily, what if I make such a big concession here, and the surname Wan still doesn't agree?" ”
When Chen Fengnian saw that he had finished drinking, he reached out and took the wine glass in his hand, carefully put it on the crystal plate on the side, and smiled so gently and softly: "Yes, I promise he will." ”
