Chapter 38: Leng Hui enters the game
Shang Yucheng took the things and checks sent by the Leng family, and went straight to the Leng family.
Zhao Wenxuan is the wife of the Leng family, that is, the nephew of the Leng family's only daughter Leng Hui's mother, Zhao, and grew up in the Leng family's family since she was a child. Because the Leng family and his wife had no children under their knees, the two raised Zhao Wenxuan as their own son, and even loved their biological daughter Leng Hui even more.
The love of the Leng couple and Zhao Wenxuan's recognition of his identity as a guest in the Leng family made Zhao Wenxuan develop a polite and polite personality on the surface, but in fact he was dark and vicious. In front of the Leng couple and Leng Hui, they looked deferential and polite, but they did a lot of unsightly things behind their backs.
According to Shu Qiang's investigation, Zhao Wenxuan has been in many high-end casinos all year round, and he owes at least 40,000 or 50,000 yuan in gambling debts.
Shang Yucheng thought of this and smiled slightly. Such a big hole, Zhao Wenxuan will never be able to fill it easily, if he loses his status in the Leng family, then will the creditors in the gambling game still allow him to be at ease?
"Miss, it's here." The rickshaw came to a steady stop, and the driver greeted with a smile wiping his sweat.
Shang Yucheng got out of the car, took out the change from his handbag, and handed it to the driver, "No need to look for it." β
The coachman pulled the car away with great gratitude, and Shang Yucheng raised his feet and walked towards the cold house.
Standing at the door, Shang Yucheng stopped and looked up slightly at the exquisite mansion in front of her, which was an American-style white wooden building, and she was very familiar with every plant and tree here when she was in high school. And the night that changed everything began here.
Shang Yucheng suddenly felt that her steps were a little difficult, she stood quietly, but her memories instantly returned to that noisy Christmas Eve.
She and Leng Hui are good classmates, and those long and tiresome Chinese lessons that need to be memorized have always given Leng Hui a headache, but Shang Yucheng always copes with it easily. Leng Hui always called her a talented girl enviously, and asked her to tutor her homework for herself by the way.
This kind of life has always been peaceful, Shang Yucheng does not often attend such gatherings, and even if she goes, she will not be enthusiastic about socializing - after all, there is only one widow left in the high hall of the family, and she must always be careful about her manners and behavior.
She originally thought that she would spend her life quietly like this, do a scholarly article, take care of the family's business with her mother, marry a good husband, and have children.
It's a pity......
"Huh, Miss Shang!"
A greeting interrupted Shang Yucheng's memories, and she put on a smile and turned her head and said, "Miss Leng." β
Leng Hui was getting off the rickshaw, handed the driver a banknote, waved him away, walked over quite kindly, pretended not to see Shang Yucheng holding the things he sent in his hand, and said with a smile, "Why doesn't Miss Shang go in?" Could it be that I am disgusted with the poor hospitality in my home? β
Shang Yucheng said modestly, "Naturally not." I just arrived, but because I had never visited the house, I don't know if it was too presumptuous, so I didn't have time to go in. β
Seeing that Shang Yucheng was so sincere, Leng Hui was relieved, and even more enthusiastically took her hand, "Miss Shang, no matter when you come, you can't talk about the word presumptuousness." Speaking of which, you and I are also familiar at first sight, and I am very happy that you are here today! β
She pulled Shang Yucheng towards her home and said with a smile, "Since you are here today, we should come and go often in the future." The first time I met Miss Shang, I had the intention of making friends. It's just that my brother laughed at me a few times, saying that Miss Shang is talented and would never want to make friends with someone like me who doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. β
Shang Yucheng smiled, "Why is this misunderstanding? I can't afford to say that you're talented. She shook her head helplessly, "I've only been in a foreign university for two years." Miss Leng said this again, and I would have to be ashamed of myself. β
Saying that the two had already entered the house, Leng Hui beckoned her to sit down, and said with a smile, "What do you want Miss Shang to drink?" I'm treated by the League of Nations here, and there is no shortage of coffee, juice, and soda. β
Shang Yucheng smiled and apologized, "It rained yesterday and caught a cold, and my body was not very refreshing, so I couldn't enjoy the treatment of the League of Nations - hot water." β
When Leng Hui heard Shang Yucheng say this, she hurriedly asked someone to pour a cup of hot water.
Shang Yucheng pushed the things in front of Leng Hui with a gentle and sympathetic expression, "Miss Leng, you sent these things, and the girl at home was ignorant, so she accepted them." I had to send it back to you myself. β
Leng Hui seemed to have just seen something, her expression froze, and she was puzzled, "These things are to compensate for Miss Shang's loss, and there is nothing else to do." Miss Shang sent it back again - what does this mean? β
Shang Yucheng hurriedly said, "Miss Leng, don't misunderstand. The reason why I sent it back is because I understand the current situationβ" She glanced at Leng Hui with some embarrassment, and now Leng Hui's predicament. Don't worry, I will never pursue the matter of buying fake jewelry at Leng's before. β
She smiled slightly, looked at Leng Huiyun's misty expression, and said, "Miss Leng is quick to talk, I appreciate it." The Leng family and the Lu family have always cooperated happily, and now that I know it, there is no reason to make the Leng family embarrassed in every way because of a little thing. β
Leng Hui looked at Shang Yucheng and didn't speak for a long time.
The helmsman of the Leng family, although his father Leng Fanqing has not completely let go of the Leng family's business, but now the Leng family has actually been handed over to his cousin Zhao Wenxuan, from the source of goods to the operation to the capital, Zhao Wenxuan can be said to be in power.
Listening to Shang Yucheng's meaning, what difficulties did the Leng clan encounterβbut why had he never heard of this matter? What is it?
Thinking like this, she said cautiously, "I don't quite understand what Miss Shang means. Miss Shang's purchase of a fake this time has been found to be Leng negligence, but now I don't know which link went wrong, so it has not been completely conclusively dealt with. However, buyers who receive losses will be compensated, this is Leng's attitude, Miss Shang does not have to be polite, just accept it. β
Shang Yucheng still shook his head, "I don't have to care about others, it's just that I'm here, you don't have to compensate." β
Leng Hui looked at Shang Yucheng and said tentatively with a smile, "I don't know what the reason is for this?" Could it be that Miss Shang still refuses to forgive this unintentional mistake? β
Shang Yucheng hurriedly said, "Of course not. It's just that I've heard about Leng's now--difficult. That's why I don't want to be this person who falls into the ground. β
"Difficult?" Leng Hui said in surprise, "I don't know what Miss Shang is referring to?" β
Shang Yucheng saw Leng Hui's surprised look and looked at her puzzled, didn't Miss Leng know? β
Leng Hui smiled a little reluctantly, "I have never cared about my family's business. But if there is any change in the Leng family, naturally it can't be hidden from me, I don't know what Miss Shang heard? It's hard to believe that it is not a misunderstanding.
Shang Yucheng looked at Leng Hui and said, "It's just hearsay, I heard that Mr. Zhao owes a lot of money in the name of the Leng family-" She paused, looked at Leng Hui's expression, and said with a smile, "But since Miss Leng doesn't know, it must be a rumor." Borrowing and borrowing turnover is also a common occurrence in this business. β
The expression on Leng Hui's face changed from surprise to suspicion and then to faint anger, and she reluctantly smiled, "That's right." In addition to the jewelry business, Leng's has also been involved in some investment businesses recently, which is about the turnover of project funds. But-" she said with a straight face, "It's okay, there is absolutely no problem with the Leng family's funds, and we ask Miss Shang not to push back this heart." β
Shang Yucheng looked at the change in Leng Hui's expression, knowing that Leng Hui had listened to her words, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, if the simple Su Jingyao had completely trusted Leng Hui's friend, but now Shang Yucheng looks back and thinks about it, Leng Hui's personality can be seen clearly.
Her sense of superiority and desire to control as the only daughter of the Leng family, and her desire to pursue immediate interests will inevitably lead to her suspicion of Zhao Wenxuan. And Zhao Wenxuan's own deficit of money will make him fall into a situation where he is speechless.
Shang Yucheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "This is the best." Listening to Uncle Lu and Brother Lu, I attach great importance to the cooperation with the Leng family, although I don't understand business matters, but since the Lu family and the Leng family have such a friendship, Miss Leng and I hit it off again, and I just hope that the business of each family is thriving. β
She smiled and said, "I heard Jing Cheng say that Miss Leng is the most capable of all the ladies in Shanghai, and I still have a small business to talk about today, although it is a little presumptuous, but I think Miss Leng will not mind." β
Leng Hui is a woman with a new education, and she is not satisfied with her father's handing over the Leng family to her cousin Zhao Wenxuan to take care of, but her father has always been very authoritative, so she has to be obedient. At this time, seeing Shang Yucheng say this, he was quite satisfied, and couldn't help but say, "Miss Shang is polite, I don't know what Miss Shang wants to talk about?" β
Shang Yucheng said with a smile, "Don't hide it from Miss Leng, our business has been operating in the United States for many years, and we have some accumulation. Now that I'm back in Shanghai, I've got a job at the university, but I can't live on this salary.
So I wanted to do some business, but unfortunately I didn't understand industry, and I knew that Miss Leng was very capable, so I wanted to talk to Miss Leng about cooperation. Shang Yucheng looked at Leng Hui's expression and said quite generously, "As for the way of cooperation-Miss Leng can talk about everything even if she proposes it." I wonder if Miss Leng is interested? β
Leng Hui's mood at this time was a little delicate, Shang Yucheng's proposal did make her heartbroken, but the predicament of the Leng family mentioned by Shang Yucheng just now also made her a little worried and angry.
If Zhao Wenxuan took advantage of the Leng family's loss of money, she instinctively believed it, but compared to anger, she was more happy in her heart, if her father's chosen successor did such a thing, it would prove that her father's contempt for her was wrong, maybe this was a good opportunity.
Thinking of this, Leng Hui smiled and said, "I really don't dare to take Miss Shang's praise." Miss Shang is a new-school lady who returned from abroad, and I also admire her for daring to think and do it. I understand what Miss Shang means, and I'm very interested in itβI wonder what kind of business Miss Shang wants to do? β
Shang Yucheng smiled slightly, "Although I don't understand industry, I also understand the truth that I don't know how to do it." Miss Leng's family is in the jewelry business, and she must be very familiar with this industry, if we also partner in the jewelry business, what does Miss Leng think? She looked at Leng Hui, "Of course, we will never compete with the Leng clan, please rest assured Miss Leng." β
Leng Hui frowned slightly and said, "Since we are peers, it is inevitable that there will be competition, which is probably unavoidable." β
Shang Yucheng shook his head and said confidently, "The Leng family is now mainly buying jewelry from all over the world to sell, and my thoughts are completely different from this. Nowadays, Shanghai is an international city, and advanced ideas and concepts are first transmitted to the mainland in Shanghai, so I would like to invite a few designers to design their own jewelry brands, integrating advanced aesthetics and current fashion to make a unique jewelry store in Shanghai. She looked at Leng Hui and smiled, "I wonder what Miss Leng thinks?" β
Leng Hui nodded as if she had realized something, and then smiled again, "Miss Shang is really insightful, I am really ashamed." She paused, but the conversation changed suddenly, "But although Miss Shang's idea is good, the process of jewelry design, production, and mass production is very complicated. This matter needs to be considered in the long run. β
Shang Yucheng looked in agreement, "Miss Leng is right. It's easy to do, but it's a lot of work to do. Why don't we think about it carefully, Miss Leng also seriously considers whether she is willing to cooperate with me, how about it? β
Leng Hui nodded and said with a smile, "Definitely." β
Shang Yucheng stood up with a smile with a satisfied expression on his face, "Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave, and I'll come to visit Miss Leng another day." β
Leng Hui got up as she agreed, "I'll invite Miss Shang to dinner another day, please enjoy it!" β
When Shang Yucheng heard this, he seemed to hear Leng Hui's proposal to agree to her, and left with a spring breeze on his face.
When Shang Yucheng's figure gradually disappeared, Leng Hui showed a sneering smile, "Sure enough, I came back from Liumei, I don't even understand the truth of hiding clumsy, and I still want to do business, it's really naΓ―ve." β
What she didn't see was that Shang Yucheng, who was leaving with his back to her, also restrained his enthusiasm and showed a sneer that was not obvious.
