Chapter 32: The Misty Sea
At night, Li Fan walked on the deserted street, depressed, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, it was already late at night, and Li Fan walked alone on the empty street, looking very lonely.
Looking at the 3 billion arrears slip in his hand, Li Fan sneered at himself.
Money has wealth, a rich man with deep pockets, even if he can really catch it, he will only lose 3 billion, for him, it is just a trivial matter.
But Su Yumo is different, or the hope of existence has disappeared in her heart.
Looking at Su Yumo's eyes today, it seems that the loneliness that has overflowed in his heart has already turned into ice.
The person who can love is suddenly very close, but it is a stone's throw away, like the end of the world, which makes Li Fan's heart calm down for a long time.
In Huangcheng, except for the five lakes that have a certain amount of power, the others cannot be compared with the Su family, not to mention that now that Qian Youcai has also joined the Su family, only the five lakes can compete!
I heard Xu Changqing say that most of the Su family's business is on the dock, and instead of coming to collect debts, it is better to directly take back their docks, which is actually just to repay debts.
Time was also a little urgent, Li Fan casually found a hotel to rest, and set off to the dock the next day to have a look.
Dongyang Pier.
When Li Fan walked into the port gate, he saw a wide and straight avenue leading to the sea, and vehicles drove past him from time to time, and countless goods were piled up on both sides, like hills, neatly arranged.
This is one of the wharves under the name of the Su family, mainly trading seafood business, and Li Fan smelled a very strong fishy smell as soon as he walked in.
There are also a lot of seafood products on both sides for sale, all of them are sloppy sellers, full of fishy smell.
Li Fan found that after he walked in, it seemed that everyone's eyes here were focused on him.
Well? Why are they all looking at me?
Li Fan stopped and looked at both sides, all the people here were wearing workers' clothes, and only one of them was wearing a suit and tie, which looked very prominent against the background.
In order to determine the situation, Li Fan had already learned from Xu Changqing before he came, in Dongyang Wharf, there were some fishermen, and the Su family had the largest shares, but the person who managed it was someone else.
Moreover, the fishermen of Dongyang Wharf are very unfriendly to those of the five lakes.
If you want to collect debts, you have to start with their manager, that is, the person named after this dock, Dongyang!
Li Fan walked up to a fishmonger and asked kindly, "Big brother, where is Dongyang?" ”
This is a man with a bear's back, and he is bald, shirtless and wearing a black apron to look particularly rude.
Li Fan's words have been asked for half a minute, but the bald man has ignored him at all and has been sorting out the things on the shelves.
Li Fan frowned at this time and said again: "You see that I am so rude to talk to you!" ”
Suddenly, a chill filled the surroundings.
"Drink!"
A roar sounded from behind, and I saw another fishmonger rushing over, his eyes angry and fierce, his fists clenched.
Oops!
Li Fan didn't know why this person wanted to attack him, but when he reacted, the bald man behind him also picked up the shelf and smashed it at him.
"Smack!"
Li Fan turned around, quickly dodged the attacks of these two people, and then immediately picked up a fish knife from the side.
With the attack of the two fishmongers, all the fishmongers surrounded Li Fan in an instant, Li Fan pointed at everyone with a fish knife, panting sharply, full of confusion.
Why would this group of people attack themselves for no reason?
Could it be that the Su family asked them to do this?
At this moment, a decisive male voice sounded among the fishmongers.
"Wait! Let him come! ”
Following the prestige, Li Fan saw that the fishmongers gradually got out of the way, and a man with crossed eyebrows appeared in front of him.
I saw the man pinching the fishtail in one hand and a bowl of white wine in the other, and after seeing Li Fan, he drank it in a big gulp.
Li Fan saw that the fishmongers had all made a way out of the way, so he walked over slowly.
As he walked over, Li Fan noticed that the fishmongers here looked at him with an angry gaze.
When I got closer, this man had tattoos on both arms, and he looked heavy and calm.
Until the moment he raised his eyes, the eyes full of coldness instantly made Li Fan tremble.
"It's... This is the big brother of Dongyang? Li Fan asked.
Dongyang didn't reply, just waved his hand, let some fishmongers next to him carry a table over, and then put down two more chairs.
"This ......"
Li Fan didn't know what he wanted to do? Always on the defensive.
I saw Dongyang sitting on one of the chairs with his buttocks, and then gave Li Fan a look and asked Li Fan to do the other chair as well.
Li Fan didn't dare to say more, took a deep breath, and walked over.
Seeing that Dongyang has been silent, the surrounding fishmongers are all in a circle, which makes people unable to escape!
Li Fan was very uneasy in his heart.
"I... Let me introduce myself! Li Fan said tremblingly.
"My name is Li Fan, I'm from Wuhu, and I'm here mainly for ......."
However, before Li Fan finished speaking, Dongyang waved his hand, and then the two rough men directly put four bottles of beer on the table.
Li Fan was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "Yes... Although it is said that it is mixed and can be drunk, it is all fake...... This drinking is about culture... You said I came without preparing anything, Brother Dongyang is very hospitable, but he doesn't like to talk! ”
Dongyang didn't say a word, and then the surrounding fishmongers dispersed, which made Li Fan relax a lot.
Could it be that he is mute?
Dongyang didn't say a word, he directly picked up a bottle of beer and handed it to Li Fan...
Li Fan knew that he was provoking himself, and of course he didn't admit defeat, he also picked up a bottle of beer, touched it, and then said: "Okay!" I'll walk with you! ”
Li Fan's alcohol consumption is not very good, and when this bottle of beer goes down, basically his stomach has already begun to rise.
The two of them dried up a batch of beer, but Dongyang picked up another bottle again.
Li Fan shook his hand and said, "Don't!" I don't drink anymore! Drink it again and pull it! I'll talk to you about ......."
"Smack!"
Suddenly, the bottle of beer in Dongyang's hand was pinched and exploded by him, and the crisp sound of glass shattering made Li Fan's face twitch.
No way? So fierce?
Dongyang picked up another bottle of beer again and handed it over.
This time, Li Fan reacted quickly, and picked up another bottle of beer at the same speed.
"I salute you with this bottle!"
The two drank the beer again, and this time Li Fan's face was slightly red, and his expression looked very uncomfortable.
"Oops... Sunset... Wrong! Brother Dongyang, in fact, I'm here to talk to you this time, so ...... owed"
"Smack!"
Dongyang picked up a bottle of beer and crushed it again, but this time his eyes were more angry than last time.
……
"When we come out to mix, we usually have three glasses in a row!"
After Li Fan finished speaking, he reluctantly picked up another bottle of beer and poured it down his throat!
"The Su family... Over there, I don't agree, so I'll come to you......"
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
Three times in a row, Dongyang's cold expression was like a bull about to explode.
Li Fan bit his lip and said, "Okay, okay, don't pinch it!" ”
In order to be able to get the 3 billion, even if you drink it until your stomach is perforated, you will drink it!
The angry eyes are like the main generals looking at each other on the battlefield, picking up the beer in one hand, regardless of three, seven or twenty-one, just pouring it into his mouth.
With his eyes closed, there is only one belief in his heart, and that is ...... Recover the debt and let Wuhu admit himself.
As long as Wuhu admits himself, he can have the capital to compete with the Su family!
Time came to night.
The table was full of empty beer bottles, and Li Fan looked at Dongyang who still had nothing to do with his head groggily.
Is this still a human? After drinking all afternoon, I didn't even have to go to the toilet.
"Whew...... Brother Dongyang, don't play like this, when I talk about it, you will pinch it, and when I talk about business, you will pinch it, you won't let me speak! Li Fan said helplessly.
Dongyang's expression stretched slightly, and he turned his eyes to look at the sea next to him, and at night, the dock seemed very quiet, and only the sound of the sea breeze could be heard.
Slowly, Li Fan was drunk, and he began to feel a little dizzy, only to see Dongyang on the opposite side showing helpless eyes.
"If I had the money... I've been talking to you for a long time! ”
Finally Dongyang spoke, which made Li Fan stunned for a moment, and his heart also extinguished hope.
After drinking for a day, he got this result again, and he himself felt very stupid and laughed at himself.
"Again... If I fail again, I wonder if it's so difficult to collect a debt? ”
Dongyang also sneered, and said with a mouthful of wine: "Isn't it like I don't have any money!" The Su family swallowed the payment, and hundreds of fishermen on our side had no income for months......"
Saying that, Dongyang drank another glass and said, "They all want to support their families, the Su family has swallowed all the money and owes a lot of money, what can we do with our families?" I'm in charge of them, and I have to protect my family..."
Family......
Li Fan nodded understandingly, looking at the dark sea, Qin Tianzheng said, life is like the ocean, in the vast sea, how small people seem to be, those powerful people control the fate of many people, and those people are also small in their hands.
The man in front of him, willing to protect these people, means that he has the heart of a guardian.
The superior protects the inferior, and the subordinate protects the more inferior.
From the time I came today with a purpose, those fishmongers worked hard to protect their families, and Dongyang also fought against me for the sake of them, of course, I represent the five lakes, and they will understand it this way.
"What's your name?" Dongyang asked.
"Li Fan..."
"Li Fan, I have never begged anyone in my life." Dongyang stood up as he spoke.
"I'll beg you once today, we don't have the money, and you definitely don't have it when you look for the Su family, there is only this one dock left, you can take it back if you want it!" But you have to keep my family, okay? ”
Li Fan blinked and sneered, "Your dock? Isn't there still a share of the Su family? ”
"No, the Su family has already terminated the cooperative relationship with our wharf when they swallowed the payment!"
No wonder the Su family was not afraid of themselves at all yesterday, it turned out that this IOU had no effect on them.
"In that case......
Li Fan's head flashed, he took back the arrears bill, and said with a smile on his face: "If you recycle, you don't have to ......."
"I'll take your dock privately, do you think it's okay?"
