Boss Li of Nankou Yarn Factory is named Li Jinfa, in his forties, with a thin face, wearing a melon skin hat and a robe.

Di Xiong smiled: "I'm sorry, I made Boss Li wait for a long time." ”

A handsome girl in a red cheongsam served two cups of fragrant tea and four plates of dim sum on the table, there is a small black mole on the left corner of the girl's mouth, her name is Chen Xianglian, she is one of the eight hostesses recruited by Di Xiong, Di Xiong thinks that the hotel uses the hostess to serve tea and food, which can attract customers more than the male guys, and this is indeed the case, because other hotels have not used the hostess, after the hostess of the Weili Hotel was used, the business has increased by at least three percent, and Di Xiong has adopted some practices of the hotel in later generations, such as free tasting for new customers, coupons for old customers, etc., Business is naturally better, although they are still buddies, but the work they are engaged in has become foreman and security guard, and their monthly salary has also risen to five silver dollars. The girls were recruited from the shantytowns and did not have to sell themselves, and they were paid five silver dollars a month to make their parents happy. If it weren't for Dichon's recruitment, they would probably have been sold into brothels. Chen Xianglian was negotiating the price when she was sold to a brothel, and was found and rescued by Wu Chunlei.

Boss Li said: "Brother Di is so polite, it is Li's honor to be able to partner with a young man like Boss Di to do business!" Brother Di's restaurant has only been open for more than a month, and the business is booming, surpassing all the other restaurants in the whole street, I heard that those restaurant owners are resentful, and paid some beggars and ruffians to make trouble, but they were beaten by a few men in your store, and they scattered and fled. Among the guys in your store, there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! I was a little worried about buying a textile factory, but now I am relieved to see that my brother's men are so strong. ”

Di Xiong said: "Boss Li has won the award, the guys just settled a few little thieves, I have heard a folk song among the common people: there are five gangs in the capital, the first gang of 'Qinglong', the 'ghost shadow' is as fierce as a jackal, the most poisonous is the 'Flying Knife Party', the 'lightning' is as fast as a light, the 'White Eagle' force is even more rampant, the military, police and gendarmes are busy, and the people are crying and breaking their bowels. If any of the five gangs came against us, we wouldn't be able to handle it, not to mention that two of them had the backing of foreigners. ”

Boss Li said: "The capital is indeed a dangerous place, and it is not easy to survive, but fortunately, the textile factory we want to buy is in Nankou Town, outside the city, and there is no such risk." ”

Di Xiong said: "Nankou Town also has a gang called the Northern Wolf Gang, but it's just a second-rate gang, and I have a way to settle them." Boss Li, please tell me about the situation of the textile factory! ”

Boss Li said: "The owner of this textile factory is surnamed Feng, the machines of the factory are all new textile machines purchased from the United Kingdom, the market value of the factory is 20,000 yuan, the business is very good, the profit is thousands of oceans a year, but when the New Year mutiny, the factory was robbed of some money by the rebels, the machine did not lose, and several textile women were collapsed by the rebels, and many female workers were scared away. Boss Feng didn't have any backstage in the local area, and he was afraid that this kind of thing would happen in the future, so he wanted to sell the factory at a low price, only selling 12,000 yuan, and we bargained with him, and 10,000 yuan of ocean should be able to be sold, and now I only have 4,000 oceans on hand. ”

Di Xiong smiled: "If I go out of the 6,000 oceans, won't I become a major shareholder?" ”

Boss Li said with a smile: "Brother Di's ability is stronger than mine, he should have more shares, and the chairman should also be made by my brother, I just need to drink some soup behind me, and I will also run the yarn factory, and the textile factory will be operated by my brother in the future." I only recommend my younger brother Li Jingyi to be a deputy director in the factory. ”

Di Xiong raised the teacup and said: "Since Boss Li trusts Di so much, I will replace the wine with tea and toast Boss Li with a cup, hoping to cooperate happily in the future." ”

The teacups of the two people collided together, making a crisp sound.

When Wu Chunlei appeared in the lobby of the hotel wearing a brand-new blue security uniform, he was admired by several hostesses, and one of the hostesses smiled and said: "I just found out today that Brother Lei is not only high in martial arts, but also very handsome!" ”

Wu Chunlei recognized her as Chen Xianglian and said with a smile: "Since you think I am handsome, then I will invite you to watch a scene alone tonight, it is played by the famous actor Liu Xikui, you will not refuse." ”

Chen Xianglian smiled: "This is my honor, why should I refuse?" ”

Chen Xianglian knew Wu Chunlei very early, her parents used to set up wonton stalls, Wu Chunlei was in the Flying Eagle Gang, because of poverty, every time he went to her stall to only half a bowl of wontons, when Chen Xianglian was there to help, he was willing to put a few more wontons for him, and then her father got involved in gambling, owed a lot of debts to the casino, and escaped without a trace, the casino thugs smashed her stall, and sold her to a brothel to pay off the debt, it was Wu Chunlei who borrowed money from Di Xiong and helped her family pay off the gambling debts.

Wu Chunlei was about to joke with Chen Xianglian again, when he suddenly saw Lan Jinping walking into the hotel from outside the gate, Lan Jinping had a young woman's hairstyle on her head, a yellow golden hairpin and earrings, and a snow-white fox skin robe, looking like a noblewoman, next to her was a girl in a light blue school uniform, and there were two men in strong suits with boxes and guns behind her, like bodyguards.

Wu Chunlei hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Isn't this Sister Lan?" It's been a long time, remember me? I'm Wu Chunlei! ”

Lan Jinping was also a pawn of the Flying Eagle Gang, and had a good relationship with Bai Xiuling and Wu Chunlei, because she couldn't bear Boss Zhang's bullying, she reported the case done by the Flying Eagle Gang to the police, but due to the collusion of the police and bandits, she fell into the hands of Boss Zhang again, if it weren't for Bai Xiuling and Wu Chunlei pleading hard, she would have been beaten to death, and in the end she was sold to a brothel.

Lan Jinping was also very surprised: "Spring thunder! How are you guys here? Not in the Eagles? How is Xiuling now? ”

Wu Chunlei said: "Sister Bai is also doing things here, if she knows that you are here, she will be very happy, this is not the place to talk, I will take you to the upstairs box to sit down and talk slowly, the third box is just empty." He asked a waitress to call Bai Xiuling.

Bai Xiuling was wearing a pink fur robe, and was keeping accounts in the back room, due to the large increase in the business volume of the hotel, Di Xiong used the loan accounting method of later generations, and the accounting side alone relied on the shopkeeper Wu, who was no longer busy, so Di Xiong asked Bai Xiuling to assist him in doing some accounting. Of course, Bai Xiuling had to do more than that, Di Xiong ordered all the newspapers and newspapers in Beijing, but he didn't have time to read them, Bai Xiuling was responsible for selecting important information from these newspapers and presenting it to him. Hearing that Lan Jinping was coming, Bai Xiuling hurriedly trotted all the way, and after entering the No. 3 box, he hugged Lan Jinping, and Bai Xiuling was so excited that she shed tears.

Bai Xiuling said: "Since Sister Lan was sold to that kind of place, I have been worried about you, after eradicating the Flying Eagle Gang, I asked Brother Di to help inquire about your whereabouts, and wanted to rescue you, but I didn't expect you to be out of the tiger's mouth." ”

Lan Jinping said: "I was also tortured for more than a year in the brothel of Fengyuelou, and then I met General Lu, who took a fancy to him, and spent 5,000 yuan to redeem me and marry me as a concubine in the seventh room, so that I could get out of the sea of suffering." ”

Bai Xiuling asked, "Which General Lu?" ”

Lan Jinping said: "It is Lu Jianzhang, who used to be the director of military and political law enforcement, and is now the commander of the left-hand reserve army, when he was the director of law enforcement, because of the investigation and punishment of the assassination of Yuan, there were too many revolutionaries and royalists who were arrested, and he was given the nickname 'Lu Butcher'." ”

Bai Xiuling said: "It turned out to be him!" Brother Di once mentioned him, saying that he likes nepotism, dedicated to Mengcheng villagers, can speak Mengcheng dialect, has a foreign sword, and among the five battalion commanders under him, there is a man named Feng Jishan who is very good at training, and the other four battalion commanders are incompetent guys. ”

Lan Jinping said with a smile: "Let's talk about your situation, listen to Wu Chunlei, you are now very close to the boss of the Xihe Gang, and he praised this Boss Di very much, this person is really so powerful?" The Eagles were eradicated because of him? ”

Bai Xiuling said: "He is the most decent gang boss I have ever seen, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and smoking, only loves to read books and newspapers and play chess, not only smart and capable of preaching righteousness, but also a person who knows books and answers, worries about the country and the people, he hopes that one day he can lead the army to recover the lost land in the north of the Qing Dynasty, so that the people can live a happy life." That's why we follow him with all our hearts. ”

Lan Jinping smiled: "You said him so well, I'm afraid it's too exaggerated, right?" But looking at your clothes and complexion, compared to the previous in the Flying Eagle Gang, it is indeed a world of difference, I really want to meet this magical Boss Di, is he in the hotel? ”

The girl in the light blue school uniform also said, "I want to meet him too, I've never seen a gang boss!" ”

Lan Jinping introduced the girl in blue to Bai Xiuling: "This is my sister Jinchun, studying in Jingxi Girls' Middle School, I bought breakfast in your hotel, and said that it was very delicious and delicious, I heard that the banquet in the hotel tasted better, so I pestered me to bring her to the banquet, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you today." ”

Bai Xiuling said: "There are three chefs in our restaurant now, but they are not the best at cooking, the highest skill is Brother Di, so let's ask Brother Di to make a table of dishes for you to taste." ”

Lan Jinping was surprised: "Asking the boss of Xihe to personally cook for us to eat, is this too much?" ”

Bai Xiuling smiled: "It's okay, he's a very talkative person, I just ask him, and he will agree." ”

Di Xiong asked the kitchen to make a table of sumptuous wine and food and sent it to the No. 1 box, he was about to accompany Boss Li to dinner, Bai Xiuling came in and said the request, Di Xiong refused first, but couldn't stand her repeated begging, so he had to ask the shopkeeper Wu to accompany Boss Li to drink, he put on an apron and went to the kitchen. Of course, Di Xiong couldn't cook a table of dishes, he only cooked a pot of sauerkraut fish, a pot of duck soup and a mutton hot pot, and the other dishes were still made by the chef. The Lan sisters have already eaten very happily, and their stomachs are about to burst.
