Chapter 50 There Is No Free Lunch
I followed Liu Qingzhong all the way to the car.
The change of scenery around me did not take me to a so-called "nearby" restaurant, but took me around most of Hezhou to the suburbs.
"Shen Fan, with such strength at a young age, how can he be willing to open a hall in Hezhou?"
In the car, Liu Qingzhong looked at me and slowly spoke, "Or do you have some unknown past?" β
"No, I just like to be calm."
I shook my head slightly, "A peaceful life is for me." β
"I came from the capital and took the train to Huaihua."
"After picking up the leak for a few days, you can open the hall?"
Liu Qingzhong read out the content of the meeting while looking at his mobile phone.
To me, it's less like a question to me, more like a threat - I can find out everything about you!
"I don't think your life is very peaceful."
He spoke slowly, with admiration in his eyes.
I kind of know his purpose - to pull me into the gang and follow him.
If I were just a small citizen, it might not be too late to be happy.
At this moment, I have already thought about it, refuse!
Liu Qingzhong didn't say anything to ask me to follow him, but led me all the way to a mountain villa in the suburbs.
It seems to be an upscale hotel, and many well-dressed people bring their female companions to the place.
My casual outfit is rustic in comparison.
After parking the car, I followed Liu Qingzhong to a chic private room, with a sliding door, surrounded by ancient style.
Two cushions are placed in front of the coffee table, which has the taste of ancient wine brewing heroes.
"Eat whatever you want, you can just order whatever you want."
Liu Qingzhong smiled and spoke, and then sat down cross-legged.
"It's better to be Secretary Liu, it's safer."
I understand this kind of person's routine, let me call the shots of everything, and then pull me in, and if I refuse, start talking about how tolerant he is.
"Okay."
Liu Qingzhong nodded and ordered.
"You're still too reserved."
"If you want you to call me Brother Liu, Uncle Liu can do it."
In the tea room, he reminded me again, but he didn't say a word asking me to follow him.
It wasn't until he had eaten almost enough that he spoke slowly.
"Shen Fan, I have a relatively large hall, I don't know if you are interested in being the boss?"
Liu Qingzhong said slowly, "You don't have to worry about funds or anything, including goods, you have to decide for yourself." β
"What do I need to do?"
I put down my chopsticks and spoke slowly, "Give me so many benefits, you always have something to use me for." β
"I'll talk about this kind of thing later, I think you're a talent and deserve to be taken care of."
Liu Qingzhong still had a smile on his face, "And my store, isn't it also a peaceful life for you to be a boss and take care of it?" β
But, what I do know is that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
The more he gives now, the better he treats me, and the more dangerous it is for him to do what he wants me to do in the future.
Maybe even kill someone for him.
Tao Ronghua has already smuggled, and the deputy secretary Liu Qingzhong behind him may do more!
"Think about it?"
Seeing that I was silent, he asked slowly.
"I'd better run my own little business."
After a long time, I bowed my hand and said, "I was planning to stand on my own and make a living." I have no interest in Secretary Liu's affairs. β
As soon as these words came out, a trace of disharmony appeared on Liu Qingzhong's smiling face.
Disgust, to be precise.
"Is it because Tao Ronghua has stumbled on you, you are particularly resistant?"
Liu Qingzhong took a sip of tea, as if he deliberately calmed down, "If you want, Tao Ronghua won't appear in Hezhou tomorrow, and you can also win all his business!" β
"I just don't have much interest in Secretary Liu's business."
I slowly spoke, "I just want to be a little ordinary person, why should Secretary Liu bother?" If there is anyone who needs my help, I can do my best, but let me soar with Secretary Liu...... I can't stand it. β
Saying that, I got up and said, "Secretary Liu is really embarrassed to have a treat, I will pay for this meal." β
"Well, since you don't want to follow me, I won't force it."
Liu Qingzhong sighed as he spoke, but the way he looked at me was very wrong.
That's a kind of uncle's attitude towards Shang Ying: if you can't get it, you will destroy it.
"Thank you, Secretary Liu."
I found a waiter, paid the money, and quickly left the villa.
This place is really not for people like me to come to, and I eat 10,000 yuan in one meal, and I haven't even eaten enough!
I didn't even take Liu Qingzhong's car, I took a taxi at the door and returned to the hall.
In the afternoon, I walked in with the badge and flag I had received from the Antique Society.
"How?"
Chen Cheng immediately came up anxiously and asked.
I smiled and waved the flag in my hand, and she knew the result.
"Lu Yunchuan hung up the things."
As I spoke, I threw my badge in the front desk of the hall.
I am not interested in Liu Qingzhong's invitation, nor am I interested in the Antique Association.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no customers in the store, I gave Chen Cheng a brief account of what happened to the Antique Association.
"It's so thrilling!"
Lu Yunchuan didn't know my strength, and he was shocked to hear it.
"By the way, Xiao Chen, Xiao Luo, I may recruit some people myself in the future, you just go back to Boss Li."
I thought that after such a period of exercise, Lu Yunchuan's theoretical and practical knowledge should be enriched.
In addition to identifying this piece that needs to be strengthened, it is more than enough to be a buddy.
"Brother Shen, in fact, we discussed it with Boss Li."
"Huh?"
I looked at the two of them.
"We decided to stay in the store."
"Brother Shen, you're too exciting here!"
The two of them spoke in unison, and then we all laughed.
At this time, Zhou Jianguo walked over, "What's so funny?" Brother Shen, chatted with Secretary Liu for a noon? β
He must have come to ask me what I had talked about with Liu Qingzhong.
"I can't talk about it, he wants me to do it."
I shook my head slightly, then shrugged and laughed, "But I just want to be a little ordinary person to open the hall." β
Reopen the church, make a comeback, and return to the capital.
This thing can only rot in my heart.
"It's a good thing, too."
Zhou Jianguo nodded slightly, "I'm not here to talk to you about Secretary Liu." β
As he spoke, he took out an invitation, "Seventh Uncle's 70th birthday, this is an invitation, and the location is in the Haoyan Villa in the Central Garden of Hezhou." Bring some gifts and dress decently. β
He said as he looked at my clothesβdirty, scum-dropping casual wear.
"Definitely come."
My subordinate nodded slightly.
In the past, in the capital, this kind of process was indispensable.
I've got to get something good.
Anyway, everyone is in the business of the store, so Chen Cheng and I can pay attention when we go to the goods.
So the next day, Chen Cheng and I went to the antique wholesale mall, intending to see what good things were.
