Chapter 2 Revenge Comes Too Quickly
Xu is dream of the Shen family's death was too miserable, Shen Qingtang slept soundly this night, and did not wake up until the sun shone into the house.
As usual, she prepared breakfast and brought it to the hall to eat with Grandma Su.
Grandma Su knocked on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "After you finish eating, go to the exhibition hall to have a look and clean up." ”
Located in the center of the town, the exhibition hall is a three-storey old building that is used for the exhibition and sale of Suzhou embroidery works.
It was originally built by the ancestors of the Su family, brick by brick, and it took so many years of maintenance to get to where it is today.
Earlier, there were many embroidery apprentices, but later the good embroidery could not be sold, and the second ones could not be sold, and gradually no one came to learn.
"Hmm."
Shen Qingtang hurriedly responded, although he was not very optimistic about the future of the exhibition hall, it was always the spiritual pillar of the old man.
If the exhibition hall falls, Grandma Su's half life will also be broken.
Long brooms woven from straw rustle on the bluestone slab floor, and vendors pick out bamboo frames of crude handicrafts and walk through the streets.
Windows open on both sides of the street, steaming steamers are set out at breakfast shops, and bone broth for rice noodles is boiled in a large stainless steel pot.
Shen Qingtang walked to the front of the exhibition hall, pinched the hard key in his pocket, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw Second Uncle Su, who was selling steamed cakes, carrying a burden, and asked curiously: "All the elders in the town have gone to your house, if you don't go back to entertain, can your grandmother be busy?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qingtang's face changed drastically, and he didn't care about saying more, so he ran home.
The cold wind in the early morning poured straight into his mouth, and Shen Qingtang's stomach hurt hotly, and he was so disgusted that he wanted to gag.
But she still kept running, not daring to slow down in the slightest.
Those so-called elders, respected clan elders, there is no good person!
Grandma Su has always wanted to get justice for Su Xin, but her name is still there, she wants her daughter to leave cleanly.
So until Shen Qingtang went to elementary school, the family was still full of people.
There are few people who really help Grandma Su, and even if they do, they don't have the ability to turn things around.
There are many of those clan elders, who insult the dead Su Xin with all kinds of disgusting words with their sanctimonious skins, and insult Su's grandmother.
They took the Shen family's money, and their eyes were filled with interests.
The door of the small courtyard is ajar, and the hall behind the gravel road is flanked by faded doorways, and endless weeds meander along the high threshold.
There was a circle of gray-haired old men sitting around the hall, all smoking dry cigarettes in silence, and the smoke was filled.
Grandma Su's eyes were slightly red, and she beckoned to her: "Tang Tang, they want to withdraw the capital investment in the exhibition hall, this is to cut off our roots!" ”
The old man, who had always been tough, choked up with tears, and his ravine-crisscrossed face became more and more haggard, and God wanted to cruelly deprive her of another flesh and blood after taking away her beloved daughter.
"It's broken, it's broken, anyway, your family has already cut off children and grandchildren," the clan elder led by him sneered, "You gave birth to Su Xin, who lost money, and Su Xin gave birth to a small money-losing goods, what use can you do!" ”
"Yes, it's not good where she died, she was going to jump into the river and destroy the feng shui in the town. If you can't think about it, you must die far, don't get in the way of the big guy's wealth! ”
Grandma Su trembled with anger, pointed at them and said, "You guys...... You are so deceitful! ”
"If you want to say, go to an investor! Don't be mad at us here! ”
"Yes. If you don't have money to spend, your granddaughter can also exchange a bride price, and she can't starve you! ”
Then the hall burst into laughter, and the evil intentions in the open and in the dark piled up all over the hall.
Shen Qingtang lowered his face: "You are so energetic, you shouldn't have to drink my family's tea!" ”
The scene instantly cooled down, Shen Qingtang vigorously cleaned up the tea set, and the porcelain collided with a harsh sound.
It has always been to serve tea to send guests, but this time even the table was lifted.
"Hey, who's rare!"
Several clan elders who had not been in contact for many years left in a sneer, and they couldn't hold a smile on their faces, and they refused to even say hello again.
After all, the old mayor who has known each other for many years and has been silent still can't bear it, so he deliberately falls behind everyone and sighs: "Finally, someone is willing to invest in the town and vigorously develop commercial tourism." Everyone refused to let go of this opportunity. But your exhibition hall is in tatters, and it really has no investment value! ”
Shen Qingtang pursed his lips and asked, "In addition to divestment, he still wants that piece of land." ”
The old mayor nodded with difficulty: "You persuade your grandmother more, anyway, your ancestors and grandchildren don't rely on this to live." In addition......"
He looked left and right mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "Originally, he didn't have this idea, but I heard that the woman of the Shen family went to find him later. ”
The threat before Moran left appeared in front of him, this woman's revenge was terrifyingly strong, and she acted on it so quickly!
The chill instantly surged into his body, and Shen Qingtang's face was pale, and he felt a sense of unsteadiness on his feet.
She reached out to hold the door, tried to stabilize her body, and asked with a little expectation, "If Moran can convince him, I can convince him!" You tell me, where is he? ”
"This ......"
The old mayor was a little embarrassed.
Shen Qingtang called him anxiously and quickly: "Grandpa the mayor! You grew up watching me, and you know how important the exhibition hall is to my grandmother, and that is her life! ”
"Well," sighed the old mayor, taking a puff on his dry cigarette, "he has been in a bar in the city these past nights. What is it called...... Night. ”
Shen Qingtang hurriedly thanked: "I know here, thank you." ”
At this time, Grandma Su in the hall shouted loudly: "Tang Tang, why did you send someone for so long." What do they have to give, come back quickly! ”
Shen Qingtang let out a "hey" and replied, "I'm talking to the mayor's grandfather, and he wants to take me to intercede with investors." I won't be back for dinner at noon! ”
She sent it all the way to the old mayor's door.
The old mayor looked at this girl who had always been well-behaved and submissive, moved with two points of compassion, and advised: "You go to the city alone, be careful." It's not that I don't want to help you, I really can't help it. ”
Shen Qingtang bent his eyes: "You are laughing, our ancestors and grandchildren have been thanks to you for many years. ”
The words were said without leakage, and there was no cold eyebrows just now.
What kind of snobbery are the clan elders in the house, the old mayor knows it clearly, and when he sees Shen Qingtang's appearance, he understands a little in his heart.
He sighed and said, "You girl, you have been ...... all your life It's a drag. ”
Shen Qingtang lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, silent as a silent open gloom in the middle of the night.
After Su Xin's death, Grandma Su, who was originally stubborn and conservative, became more and more paranoid, and her restraints on Shen Qingtang were almost strict, and she had to be beaten and scolded if she made a mistake.
Leaving the town or looking for another job, she didn't even think about it, she would rather Shen Qingtang wither like a flower than wither in the mud in her good years.
The traffic in the town is very inconvenient, and after four transfers, Shen Qingtang arrived in Zhenhu City at five o'clock in the afternoon.
The door to the night bar was closed, and the thick amber glass could be seen as the waiter counted the goblets.
Shen Qingtang waited until night at the noodle restaurant opposite before successfully stepping into the door of the night bar.
As if entering another world, the god pressed the button to control it, and in the blink of an eye, the bar was crowded with people, and the coolly dressed men and women in the dance hall writhed and danced.
Shen Qingtang stayed nervously in the corner, his eyes searching around for the investor who was said to be surnamed Wei, and the goblet full of red wine was sitting aside.
After about two hours, Shen Qingtang's eyes were sour, and he saw several young men getting out of a Ferrari, led by well-made men, who were obviously worth a lot of money.
She eagerly greeted them, but was hindered by the crowd, and by the time they reached the door, they had already turned a corner in the hallway.
When Shen Qingtang hurriedly chased after him, there were four black-clothed bodyguards standing on either side of the door of the box.
The earth-shattering music can be heard here.
Shen Qingtang rubbed his temples and said cautiously, "I'm looking for you Wei Shao." ”
Before the black-clothed bodyguard could answer, the door opened from the inside, and the young man with dyed blue hair was carrying a wine bottle, and when he saw her, he whistled lightly, turned his face and said, "Wei Shao, there is a girl looking for you here." ”
The girl stood at the end of the red carpet at a loss, the deep aura between her eyebrows bloomed, and her clear eyes were raised at the end of her eyes, revealing some unconscious charm, like a little fairy who had strayed into the world.
The man inside became interested and coaxed: "Wei Shao, don't invite someone in soon." ”
The blue-haired man looked at her and said with a grin, "Everyone is so enthusiastic, let's go in, little beauty." ”
The lights in the box were dim, and there were several wine bottles on the table.
Shen Qingtang straightened his thin back, lowered his eyes to look at Wei Shao who was reclining on the sofa, and said thoughtfully: "I am Shen Qingtang, and the director of the Suzhou Embroidery Exhibition Hall is my grandmother." I'd like to talk to you. ”
On the way here, she thought about how to persuade Wei Jinan and try her best to ensure that he could get more benefits, so that she could keep the Suzhou Embroidery Exhibition Hall.
But the playful gaze of the man in front of her made her heart plummet suddenly.
Wei Jin'an's interest dissipated, he changed his posture and sat up, and said lightly: "The illegitimate daughter of the Shen family." ”
The tourism project in the town was assigned to the Wei family by the Jiang Group, and if Wei Jin'an wanted to live peacefully in Jiangning City, he had to curry favor with Jiang Qingyan.
Therefore, Mo Lan came to the door and proposed to teach the illegitimate daughter of the Shen family a lesson, and Wei Jin'an agreed.
Although Shen Mingyue has escaped marriage now, who doesn't know that Jiang Qingyan has always loved her, so he almost didn't pick up stars for her.
Wei Jin'an has to be a little scrupled, but Mo Lan's arrogant and domineering posture is still blocked in his heart, and this girl is sent to the door again.
"Okay," Wei Jin'an was full of malice, pointing to the box of red wine at his feet and said, "It's cheaper for you, let's talk after drinking." ”
Shen Qingtang clenched his fists, then released weakly, stared at Wei Jin'an seriously, and confirmed: "You have to promise that you will listen to me carefully." ”
Wei Jin'an raised his hands amusedly: "I swear." ”
Shen Qingtang wasn't sure about his attitude, but she really had no other choice, the rest of the people in the box were Wei Jin'an's friends, and they all looked at her with the eyes of watching a monkey show.
She can only hope that Wei Jinan can be regarded as a qualified businessman, and the Suzhou Embroidery Exhibition Hall can become the signboard of the town, and there is no need to be completely eradicated, and a win-win situation can be achieved.
The spicy liquid slid down my throat, and there was no hint of grape at all, as if it was just a pleasure.
Shen Qingtang had never drunk alcohol before, and the empty wine bottle that he had just drunk slipped from his hand, and the whole person was shaking, and the heat rushed to the top of his head.
Wei Jin'an said lightly: "Continue." ”
She squatted down hard, fumbling awkwardly with the bottle, but she couldn't lift it, and she was dizzy.
"It seems that I should cancel my cooperation with the Wei family."
The black-clothed bodyguards outside the box lay on the ground, their faces distorted and painful, and they didn't even dare to moan.
The man walked in slowly, as if his body was made of ice that would not melt all year round. The eyebrows and eyes are extremely indifferent, and most of the deep facial features are shrouded in shadows, and the emotions are more and more invisible.
Wei Jin'an hurriedly got up, almost crawled to the man with a rolling belt, and greeted him with low eyebrows: "Jiang ...... Mr. Jiang. ”
His usually tall body was shorter out of thin air, desperately compressing his presence.
Jiang Qingyan looked at the girl with a flushed face, and sneered: "Bully the little girl, you are really capable!" ”
He stepped out of his long legs, wrapped his arms around Shen Qingtang's waist very naturally, and his free hand passed through the crook of her knee and walked towards the soft chair.
It was the only place in the box that no one had touched.
Without looking back, he commanded, "Go, buy hangover medicine." ”
