Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Discussion of the Four Elements
Inside the villa of Li Ru's family.
Si Wenliang paced back and forth in the guest room, changing the tea when it was cold, and the maid took the trouble to add water.
"It's been two hours, who has such a big face to let Li Ru accompany him for so long?" Si Wenliang said impatiently.
The servant's literacy is very good, and he stood aside and listened to Si Wenliang's nagging for a long time, but his head was silent.
A gentle knock sounded, and the housekeeper opened the door with a smile on his face: "Mr. Si, Miss, please go to the study for a while." ”
Si Wenliang frowned, and waited to look at Li Ru with an unhappy look in the back of the study.
A man in the study who had never met looked at a worn-out notebook with relish.
Si Wenliang turned a blind eye to the man, and asked himself: "When is it, there are less than four hours to go to the election meeting, if you don't hurry up and think of a way, how can you still have the heart to meet guests at home?" ”
"Don't be so angry, I'll introduce you, this is Mr. Liu Fusheng Liu."
Si Wenliang glanced at the man at this time, in the northeast territory, he also knew a person who was on the stage, but he had never heard of the surname Liu.
In a bad mood, his eyes are a little disdainful.
But at first glance, the worn-out notes turned out to be the ledgers of some underground transactions between the two companies!
If the things described above are circulated in the market, I am afraid that countless people will compete for them.
"Li Ru! Are you crazy about riding?! This thing is all casually shown to people? Si Wenliang wanted to go over and take the note.
"Stop! Hugh be unreasonable! ”
Li Ru's scolding made him hesitate.
The stunned kung fu Liu Fusheng had already closed the notes and handed them back to him.
"There are a lot of things, but not many useful ones."
Liu Fusheng walked up to Si Wenliang and said in a low voice: "Do you know what people think scrap iron is worth?" Garbage collection bin. ”
Liu Fusheng patted him on the shoulder and smiled playfully.
"You... Say it again! Si Wenliang was unprecedentedly angry, he had been fighting for more than 20 years and regarded things as treasures, and most of his life's hard work was said to be worthless, Si Wenliang clenched his fists.
"Heh, my temper is good, I won't hide it from you, he is from the Liu family in Quanzhou, you fight, vent your wretched anger!" Li Ru sneered.
Quanzhou Liujia? Si Wenliang lost his temper instantly after hearing this, and his chest seemed to be blocked by a boulder.
No wonder you can speak wildly, not to mention the small four elements, but looking at the northeast, how many families can compete with giants like the Liu family?
Si Wenliang stiffened his throat: "Young Master Liu, I was wrong. ”
Liu Fusheng looked out the window, his mind was not here at all, the eldest brother would arrive in a few days, and now that the prince is dead, things have changed a little more.
"Li Ru." Liu Fusheng called.
"Mr. Liu."
"I'll go with you tonight."
Li Ru was overjoyed and said: "That's great, everything will fall into place with you." ”
Si Wenliang pursed his chapped lips and was also a little excited.
The Liu family is here, even the old lady with the deepest background in the four elements has to weigh her own weight.
If he joins, the nature of the election of the four lines must have changed.
Su Yu rested at home for a long time.
The light inside is getting darker and darker.
Danzi jumped onto the sofa and licked Su Yu's palm.
Su Yu stroked the dumplings, and the little guy's soft hair was very warm to the touch.
Bell bell bell.
A strange call.
Su Yu picked it up, and it was a housekeeper calling.
Su Yu waited quietly for the other side to speak.
"The Four Lines are looking for you?" The butler spoke up.
"Well, I'm here."
"Promise them to go to the Four Lines Election."
"Huh."
"You have to go." The housekeeper didn't care about Su Yu's sneer, and still insisted on his own thoughts.
"Why?"
"The prince's final explanation, I hope you can take charge of the four elements."
At the beginning of the election meeting, Li Ru and the three of them were the first to arrive at the Covered Bridge Tianyuan.
Although it is cold and snowy outside, it is still warm as spring inside, and the conference room of Nuoda exudes a fragrance.
The waiter pulled out the chair, Li Ru sat down, and chose a middle position, the meaning is self-evident.
Si Wenliang sat beside him, and Liu Fusheng chose a slightly later position for himself.
Approaching 20:00, an old man with a childish face entered the room with a cane with the help of others.
The old man glanced around with burning eyes, and without any doubts about the seat, he picked a side of the door and sat down.
Huo Yu was also next to the old man.
The others all withdrew.
The old lady looked at the spirit and said with a smile: "The people of the four elements have arrived, right?" ”
Huo Yu approached and whispered: "Except for Tongyou Su Yu, everyone else has arrived." ”
The old lady waved her hand.
"The election is very troublesome, and it can't be opened until one party arrives, so you should wait."
Li Ru snorted coldly and took the lead in asking: "Now that the president and vice president are no longer there, the matter of the four lines is nothing more than the decision of the four of us, and everyone knows the current situation, the business of the three-mile-and-a-half shop has been cut off, the election is secondary, and it is the most important thing to come up with some ideas." ”
"Madam Bai should also know in her heart that something irreversible has definitely happened to the sudden change of hexagram and banning the four elements in the underworld, but the news cannot be shared, and it is not a way to wait." Si Wenliang said.
"Maybe it has a lot to do with the death of the prince, the four elements as an independent business system, in the past, it was really unreasonable to call a Jianghu sect to restrain the head and tail, now that the prince is dead, we can find a way out, right?"
The old lady chuckled and said, "Si Wenliang, if you just say that you are seeking a way out of business, I understand, but when it comes to princes, your father didn't dare to say this when he was in power, where did you get the guts?" No one can cure you if the prince is dead? ”
Li Ru said with a smile: "You can't say that, old lady, we respect you and the prince, but the facts are now here, the four elements have reached a critical point of survival, if you still follow the original idea before, the four elements will be like this, there is no new breakthrough, and the business of the three-mile and a half shop has been banned, even if it is unblocked, we will not be able to seek new development, such four elements, whether they exist or not does not have much meaning." ”
With a full sense of pertinence in his words, Huo Yu was a little angry and said: "Sister Li, the reason why the four elements have existed for so long is that they can maintain the operation of the three and a half shops, whether it is the quality or price of the goods, they enjoy a clear reputation in the same industry, and it is the entire four elements that are hurt by taking a big step." ”
Si Wenliang smiled and said, "Huo Yu, your family's main business is Fu Gong, right?" Do you know that our business is very different from yours, the current situation, if it continues to develop like this for a long time, the loss is us, you can still have a smooth sail in the sun, it is none of your business, you are naturally not in a hurry! ”
"You... What to say! Huo's tone was not enough.
"Alright, alright." The old lady shook her head with a smile, and patted Huo Yu's hand with her withered palm.
Huo Yu didn't say anything anymore, but his eyes were still stubbornly looking at the two.
"I understand what you mean, but the trading of the four elements can be carried out smoothly in the underworld, completely thanks to the reputation of the prince, and now that the prince is not there, we want to maintain it, and it is inevitable to elect a leader.
The old lady took a sip of tea, the topic was pulled back again, and several people fell silent again.
After a while, Li Ru spoke again: "Since no one speaks, then I will throw bricks and lead the jade first, in fact, we are nothing more than a lack of a backer, I have found a more reliable backer than the prince, as long as everyone agrees, the trading of the four elements can continue to operate in a few days!" There are no constraints on weekdays, what do you think? ”
"Oh? Who are you talking about? Si Wenliang seemed to not know, and asked Youran.
"It's the person behind me, the person of the Liu family in Quanzhou, Liu Fusheng."
As soon as the two sang and harmonized, they held Liu Fusheng to the stage.
The smile on the corner of the old lady's mouth did not retract, and her eyes turned to Liu Fusheng, who was sitting in the back row, since Li Ru could bring someone here and said this, this person must be a member of the Liu family.
