Breakfast was still hearty, and as soon as we sat down, a burly man walked in surrounded by a crowd of people. I saw that this person was muscular, and a dark green tight-fitting camouflage uniform highlighted the lines more distinctly. Seeing us from afar, he walked vigorously, and shouted in an extremely loud voice as he walked: "Ahaha, Miss Linglong, you are here!" Since Qiao Jun learned that you were going to Mangshi, he immediately rushed over from Kunming. ”

Linglong smiled and said, "You are Qiao Jun, the Southwest Tiger?" ”

Qiao Jun walked to the table, bent slightly at Linglong, and said, "The eldest lady actually knows my nickname back then?" It was all jokingly given by friends and brothers when they were young, Miss You call it that, Qiao Jun doesn't dare to take it. ”

"I've heard the old man mention you many times. The southwest branch has outstanding capabilities and outstanding performance, and Mr. Qiao has made great contributions. After the company's reform, only the southwest branch changed its business on time, and the profits handed over to the headquarters did not fall but rose. The old man praised this. ”

After the old man ordered that no more pits and shipments should be carried out, the Yunnan branch immediately handed over the existing goods to the headquarters and informed friends and customers in the circle that the Cao Group would no longer do this business. Then he concentrated the funds in his hand and immediately transformed, operating the existing businesses such as jade, medicinal materials and building materials as his main business. The benefits were okay, but the brothers worked a little harder than before. Qiao Jun said.

"Well, that's good. Going into the pit is a master, and it is not bad to engage in business. Mr. Qiao is really the pillar of talent in the old man's mouth. By the way, when did you arrive? Linglong asked.

"I heard that you were going to Mangshi, so I drove over immediately. The road was quite smooth, arriving at more than 3 o'clock in the morning. Knowing that you were already resting, I made do with it for a while in the guest room next to me. Qiao Jun looked at a few of us and asked, "Ah Shun and Ah Li, the two elder brothers, are also here?" Hard work, hard work! Who are these friends? “

With my understanding of Ah Shun, he didn't care about the branch talkers at all, but when he saw Qiao Jun asking, he immediately got up and nodded to him, and said, "Old Qiao, these are Long Siye, Xia Ye, Han Ye, Xu Ye, and Luo Ye, all of whom are friends of the eldest lady." The four here are the brothers from the headquarters. ”

I was secretly surprised in my heart, it seems that Ah Shun and Qiao Jun, the speaker of the Yunnan branch, know each other, and Ah Shun still respects him very much. This Qiao Jun is not simple, and he is not the same person as Mo Laojiu.

"Fortunately, I will be happy! You are the friends of the eldest lady, and you are my Qiao Jun's guests. In Yunnan, you must be made to eat and have fun! Qiao Jun arched his hand and said.

"Joe is always polite! This time, I really have something to do, and I can't help but disturb Mr. Qiao. The fourth master got up and said politely.

Several of us also got up one after another and saluted Qiao Jun in return. Zhao Ming and the others even got up and bent down to greet Qiao Jun.

I muttered even more in my heart, at that time in Guangzhou, Mo Laojiu did not have this treatment. Where did this Qiao Jun come from?

Linglong saw that Qiao Jun had been standing, and hurriedly asked people to add seats, add tableware, and leave him for breakfast together.

I saw that the internal waiters of the Mangshi subsidiary were hurriedly adding dishes and chopsticks to Qiao Jun, so I took the opportunity to walk to Ali's side and whispered to inquire about Qiao Jun's number.

Ali tilted his head and looked around, and saw that everyone's attention was focused on Qiao Jun, so he came over and whispered: "Qiao Jun is an old buddy of the Cao family, like Mo Laojiu, he originally followed Linglong's father, and his qualifications and seniority are relatively high. ”

"But I think Ah Shun is different from Mo Laojiu to him?" I pressed Aleigh to ask.

"Master Xia, you don't know. Mo Laojiu is an old slippery head, when he followed the master, he would slip his beard and pat the horse, the old man didn't like him more than he could, if it wasn't for the old man who kept protecting him, he wouldn't have been able to get to today's status. And Qiao Jun is different, he is a serious cadre, low-key and pragmatic, both in skill and brain, and more importantly, loyal to the Cao Group. Once in a pit, he desperately saved the master's life. not only saved the master, but even the old man was also saved by Qiao Jun. Therefore, my eldest brother has special respect for Qiao Jun. ”

It turns out that this is the case, and it is not surprising that Ah Shun treats Qiao Jun like this. It's just that there is still one thing that is not clear, so he asked: "Ali, since Qiao Jun is so capable and loyal, and he also saved Linglong's father and grandfather, why doesn't Linglong know him?" ”

"Hehe, Master Xia, in fact, since the death of the old man and his wife, he has been haunted by his temperament and changed greatly. When there are no outsiders, I always say that I have done too many bad things, which has damaged yin morality, which caused the death of the lord and wife. Therefore, he attaches great importance to and protects the eldest lady, and does not let the eldest lady meddle in the affairs of the outside world at all. Therefore, the eldest lady has hardly met many people from the branches. Arley replied.

As soon as she said this, Linglong said crisply: "Let's not drink in the morning." Come, let's replace wine with tea and toast Mr. Qiao together! ”

Qiao Jun originally sat down, but when he heard Linglong's words, he immediately stood up again, and his voice was still loud: "Miss, don't beat Qiao Jun haha." This cup of tea should be my respect to everyone anyway. First, the eldest lady is the master, and I am the servant; Second, the eldest lady and a group of friends came to Yunnan, everyone is a guest, and I am Dong. No matter which side you talk about, it should be me Qiao Jun respecting everyone. Please have a toast to the eldest lady and all the good friends! As soon as the words fell, Qiao Jun drank all the tea in his hand.

There was a lot of laughter. Qiao Jun was humble and respectful to the fourth master and Linglong who sat at the top, warm and intimate to the Shunli brothers and Zhao Ming, warm and generous to me, scholars, Lao Xu and Luo Blind, and cherished and respected the ocean and the service staff who served the dinner under him. It can be seen that Qiao Jun is delicate, flexible, and has a high IQ and EQ. Sure enough, as Ali said, he is a talent!

After dinner, we moved to the lounge to continue drinking tea. Qiao Jun saw that his subordinates had already made everyone's teacups Pu'er, so he withdrew them, leaving only the ocean to serve the tea.

"Miss, Qiao Jun will accuse first. After receiving a call from Brother Ah Shun last night, I muttered in my heart. According to the old man's meaning, the eldest lady does not interfere in that aspect of the company's business. And the eldest lady lives in a shallow way, and has hardly been to any branch. The last time I saw the eldest lady was fifteen or six years ago, when the eldest lady was still a little doll. So, for the sake of prudence, I made a report to the old man, and basically knew the purpose of the eldest lady's visit this time. Therefore, please rebuke me for my sin of voyeurism and for my sin! ”

"Sure enough, it is the Southwest Tiger, brave and resourceful, and not leaking. Ha ha. Linglong also smiled, and it could be seen that although Linglong had never seen Qiao Jun, she must have heard Old Man Cao mention it often.

Ah Shun also said: "There is nothing wrong with Brother Qiao doing this, in order to protect the eldest lady, the old man rarely let her show her face. Every action was followed by Ali and me. You can't just rely on the two of us to determine the identity of the eldest lady. ”

Qiao Jun immediately said: "Brother Ah Shun said this, but I blame the elder brother." I'm just here for the safety of our group. What's more, it is the time of the company's transformation recently, and the customers and brothers who used to maintain a good relationship with us, because we no longer meddle in antiques and cultural relics, and no longer organize the pit, have caused complaints and hatred against us. I have to guard against it. ”

"Brother Qiao, it's serious. I don't mean to blame. This operation is even confidential, and the old man can tell you bluntly, which shows his trust in you. Ah Shun said.

Linglong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Well, the taste of this Pu'er is really authentic, not bad, not bad!" Everyone tastes it, drinks it, and if you like it, go back and let Mr. Qiao give you a box for each person. ”

"Haha, no problem, Ocean, go back and prepare some good tea and jade, and give one to each of your good friends." Qiao Jun also smiled and accosted, and Yu Haiyang nodded again and again.

"Miss, the ocean is not an outsider, I can bear it. You give instructions, this time in Mangshi, what is the next step? Qiao Jun asked.

"This time we came to Mangshi, and you must have heard that we are here to track down an organization called the 'Soxh Club'. According to reliable sources, the gang had already arrived in southwest Yunnan and had disembarked at Mangshi Airport two days ago. I asked the Yunnan branch to use its connections and strength to quickly investigate and deal with the whereabouts of this group of people. By the way, the leader of this group is a Chinese-American, named Sophieli, who is about thirty years old. ”

"Yes, Miss! We immediately went to investigate, even if we dig three feet into the ground, we will find this group of people. After Qiao Jun finished speaking, he got up and took Yu Haiyang away. As soon as he arrived at the door, he stopped again, turned back to Ah Shun and said, "Brother Ah Shun, I've been bothering you to take the eldest lady around to play these days." As soon as there is news, I will report it to the eldest lady. ”

After they left, the fourth master said: "Why did the Suo's club fly from Guangzhou to Yunnan? If you are doing business in Yunnan, why not go to Kunming and fly directly to Mangshi? ”

I took out my mobile phone, turned on the map function, looked at the terrain of Yunnan, and asked Lao Xu: "Lao Xu, let me ask you something." In history, especially during the Qin and Han dynasties, what were the relatively large city-states or tribes in Yunnan? ”

"Huh? How do you bring this up? If you want to talk about the Qin and Han dynasties, there is a historical allusion that everyone should know. At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang came to a 'Seven Capture of Meng' for the stability of the rear of Shu and in order to obtain more war resources. Legend has it that this story took place in Yunnan. Lao Xu said.

"Mr. Xia, what do you think of?" The scholar asked me.

"I think Sophieli, maybe they didn't come to Yunnan, but to Mangshi. Judging from the map, there are so many airports in Yunnan, and they chose Mangshi Airport just because of the terrain characteristics here. ”

"What are the characteristics? Brother Xia, don't sell it," Luo Blind said.

"Close to Myanmar! It takes two or three hours to drive from Muang City to the national border. Moreover, Myanmar's border defense has always been weak, and I heard that giving some money to the villagers in the border villages can lead people to cross the border by small roads. The reason why they chose this place is nothing more than two reasons, either because southwest Yunnan has what they want, such as ancient tombs in the Qin and Han dynasties, or to cross the border to Myanmar. Or, both. I said after analyzing.

After discussing it for a while, they felt that only these two reasons could best explain why Sophie and the others came to Mangshi. However, speculation is speculation after all, and until you get the exact news, you can only wait quietly.
