Chapter 201: The Situation Is in Turmoil
Jian Xi was not only worried about the inexplicably tense situation on the field, but also because if He Chengfeng told his own affairs, it would be tantamount to betraying the He family, but the guests of the organization had no choice.
Old man He was also stunned when he saw that calligraphy and painting, he had actually been looking for it for so many years, as a lover of antiques, especially about calligraphy and painting, his love for this could not be hidden.
"Chen Ji, what do you mean, this calligraphy and painting is obviously in the auction hall, and it has been auctioned off, how did it end up in your hands again? You didn't steal it! ”
He Chengze's eyes narrowed slightly. looked at the man in front of him fixedly, he didn't directly say that He Chengfeng auctioned off the painting, after all, the matter is so complicated, once he says it, it is estimated that it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Oh? Yes, I don't know, but He Chengze, since you know that you have seen this calligraphy and painting in the auction hall again, why didn't you auction it, you He Shao should be the most important thing is money, isn't it because your grandfather is not worth your money to give congratulatory gifts? ”
Chen Ji smiled treacherously, looking treacherous.
"Okay, eldest brother just doesn't want to compete with me," He Chengfeng walked out, then turned to Old Man He and said respectfully, "Grandpa, this painting was originally auctioned off and wanted to give it to you, but I didn't expect to encounter an accident halfway, and the calligraphy and painting were stolen, and now it has fallen into the hands of Boss Chen." ”
After He Chengfeng finished speaking, he glanced at Jian Xi intentionally or unintentionally, so that she didn't know how to react, this He Chengfeng was obviously deliberate.
"Okay, I don't care what you did, since this antique calligraphy and painting was stolen, I don't want it anymore, and Boss Chen, we don't have any friendship, and I don't have anything to give back to you if you give me something, so please leave the banquet with your things!"
Old Man He doesn't want to worry about these things anymore, after all, today's good mood has been swept away.
"Hey, how can there be any reason to take back the things that were given away, anyway, old man, I finally got this, if you don't accept it, you won't give me face. In this way, Wo did have something to discuss with you when he came over today. ”
He Chengze smiled coldly, and sure enough, when he got to the point, he knew that it was definitely not that simple for him to come over this time.
The eyes of the audience were fixed on Chen Ji's body, and he spoke unhurriedly, "As we all know, the He family's tobacco business is actually the first in Yongcheng, but my Chen family has also been expanding this business path in recent years, so I wonder if I can join your He family, which can be regarded as a cooperation, and be responsible for the tobacco trade in the south, but you don't have to worry, I definitely don't want it for nothing, how about ten percent of the profit every month?" ”
After Chen Ji finished speaking, He Chengze's face showed a look of sudden realization, in fact, the Chen family has not been so prosperous in recent years. Underground trading is highly profitable, but it is also risky, and since Yongcheng is fighting this type of trading with all its might, their momentum is getting weaker and weaker.
This time I came here to want to cooperate, but the Chen family is definitely not so honest, they originally belonged to the underworld, and the transactions were all unseemly, even if they cooperated, they nominally belonged to the He family, and if they carried out underground transactions at that time, it would also damage the reputation of the He family.
Although Jian Xi didn't know the specific content of the tobacco business, he could probably guess how important it was by looking at their serious expressions, this Chen Ji wanted to cut off his beard?
"Impossible! Don't think about it, Chen Ji, I said that our two families have always been safe from the river water, and they are all right, but today you want to cooperate with our He family with a pair of calligraphy and paintings, it is too rampant, your Chen family is unpopular, don't bring our reputation! ”
Old Man He's voice was low but powerful, and he directly rejected Chen Ji's request.
Who knew that Chen Ji seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and laughed.
"I said old man, you said that you and my Chen family went their own way, but I was afraid, I was afraid that I would lose to my father again, just like back then, so I didn't dare to do this kind of thing, so many years, you still mind very much, and you haven't forgotten it at all!"
The audience was in an uproar, everyone didn't quite understand what was going on, and Jian Xi didn't know either, but she looked at He Chengze and found that his expression was the same as herself, could it be that Old Man He didn't say anything about this matter?
"Get out, get out of here!" Old Man He coughed angrily, but the cane had already been thrown out, and the people around him gathered around to take care of him, and Jian Xi was squeezed to the side.
It didn't take long for a sudden voice from the crowd to hear, "Quick, go and call the doctor, the old man has fainted!" ”
He Chengze glanced at Chen Ji and immediately made a move, wanting to subdue him, but Chen Ji's skills were not comparable to ordinary people, Jian Xi found that the two of them were on par, but Chen Ji brought a large group of people over after all, and directly surrounded He Chengze inside.
Jian Xi immediately went over and grabbed He Chengze, "Okay, now the situation is not in our favor, and it is not a good way to use force." ”
Chen Ji patted his clothes, tidied up his sleeves, and smiled sarcastically, "You better go back and see your old man, you can't fight with me, since the person who can talk today is already unconscious, then I will leave first, but don't forget my proposal today." for sooner or later you will answer. ”
Jian Xi looked at the back of him leaving, and his whole body revealed a dangerous and confident aura, which made it difficult for people to get close.
"Are you alright?"
Jian Xi turned to look at the angry He Chengze, who shook his head, and then immediately went to see Old Man He.
Jian Xi saw that the crowd gradually dispersed, Old Man He was carried away, surrounded by a large group of people, and Jian Xi saw He Chengze who was worried at a glance.
However, in this formation, Old Man He should not have a big problem, just now he should have been so angry because he was like that.
Jian Xi was just about to leave this already messy scene, but was followed by He Chengfeng.
"How's that, scared you?"
Jian Xi turned his head, with doubts and disgust in his eyes, as well as fear of the unknown.
"What do you mean, I'm not your He family, Chen Ji's target is not me, what am I afraid of?" Jian Xi was a little impatient, "Besides, as the grandson of the He family, your grandfather is in a coma now, you don't even take a look, isn't it appropriate?" ”
"Don't you see that many people? There is no shortage of me, after all, grandpa needs a doctor, not a useless crowd. When He Chengfeng said this, Jian Xi actually saw a trace of disdain in it, this person seemed to be really a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
"Why didn't you expose me just now, why didn't you say that I stole the calligraphy and paintings, and I gave them to Chen Ji?"
"Because I know you're not doing anything like that, why do you say that?" He Chengfeng hooked the corners of his mouth, "When Chen Ji took out that antique calligraphy and painting, you also had a shocked expression on your face, so you don't know how he got it, since this is the case, I directly omitted the middle part." ”
He Chengfeng suddenly approached Jian Xi, his eyes looked directly at her, Jian Xi subconsciously took a step back, crossed his hands in front of him, and made a defensive posture.
"You don't have to be nervous, I can't do anything to you, I said we were friends." He Chengfeng smiled.
Jian Xi didn't want to talk to him, so he left directly.
When Jian Xi returned home, he sent a text message to He Chengze to ask how his grandfather was, after all, he had a good attitude towards himself today, and he was a kind old man, but on his birthday, it was really not good.
It took about ten minutes for He Chengze to reply, saying that the old man He had just woken up, but the doctor said that he should not be stimulated in any way now, because the old man is old after all, and his health is not good, so he is always in a coma, and it is estimated that his life will be in danger after a long time.
Jian Xi could tell from the words he sent that he was very worried about Old Man He, after all, because his grandfather had also been in a coma once.
She sent a few words that she didn't have to worry about and didn't know what to say, so she hesitated for a long time before sending it, hoping that he would feel better.
Jian Xi was lying on the bed, thinking about what happened at the dinner today, and just wanted to find out about things through He Chengze, but it seemed that he was not in a good mood and didn't ask more.
Jian Xi suddenly remembered, then got up and turned on the computer to search for Chen Ji's father. When I clicked in, Jian Xi found that the introduction was only a few words, and there was nothing very special.
Chen Ji's father, Chen Feng, had passed away, just a few years ago, he died of illness, Jian Xi took a look, and was just about to close it, but suddenly saw a sentence, it turned out that he used to be the He family, that is, the assistant of the old man He.
Jian Xi realized something, there are a lot of things about this assistant, just like Beiwu to He Chengze, the two of them do have a good relationship, so it is okay to say that they are friends.
It's just that why did Chen Feng do the underworld business later? Could it be that it was because he betrayed Old Man He and set up his own door, so the two parted ways from then on?
Jian Xi shook his head, he didn't want to worry about it, anyway, He Chengze should be able to deal with it, but he also had to be careful of that Chen Ji, after all, he had been harmed by him, and it would be bad if he came to the door.
Jian Xi looked at the time, it was almost night, but she heard a noise outside, and there seemed to be Aunt Lian's voice, Jian Xi went out to take a look, and found that Aunt Lian was explaining things to Yanshu.
"What's wrong, Aunt Lian?" Jian Xi found that Aunt Lian seemed to be a little excited.
"Oh, Jian Xi, why haven't you slept yet, I'm talking to them about things, just now a guest called, saying that there will be three private rooms tomorrow, and they are all big boxes, and let us prepare wine and food, it is estimated that we are here to celebrate or something, and I also gave a lot of deposits and tips in advance."
Jian Xi was a little surprised, although the scale of the development of his nightclub is also quite large, but this kind of guest does not seem to have been encountered, it is estimated that which rich second generation invites him to dinner, Jian Xi didn't think much about it.
