Chapter 42: Rage
People, sometimes you can't be too anxious, otherwise it will easily cause neurasthenia, and then cause confusion in memory, such as Ao Xiuzhi in front of you;
Ao Xiuzhi, who was anxious because of the loss of Zhuang Feng's position, forgot her purpose of mobilizing Brother Tiger for a while, and also forgot the role or ability of these people;
Brother Tiger and his gang usually do their own things, and they all have their own skills, such as spying, hunting, tracking, etc.;
Just when Ao Xiuzhi was anxious and a little nervous wrecked, she habitually took out a cigarette from her clothes pocket and subconsciously lit it, and took a deep breath at the same time;
With the ingestion of nicotine, Ao Xiuzhi finally remembered something, and casually flicked the cigarette butt away, turned around and walked towards the tiger brother;
"Hello boss lady;" The tiger brother said expressionlessly as he watched Ao Xiuzhi walk in front of him;
The appearance of the man in front of him was very ordinary, and there was a somewhat timid expression on his face, as if he belonged to the kind of person who was always used as a joke by his friends, but he still wanted to save face, which could be seen from the four gold rings on his hand, although the gold rings were obviously fakes at first glance;
Not only that, but the man had long hair that looked rather funny, and he was wearing a cheap black shirt, but he was wearing a pair of blue denim trousers, and a pair of leather shoes that were no longer fashionable.
Ao Xiuzhi looked at the appearance of the man in front of him, and did not feel any discomfort, although this kind of mixing and matching style is obviously nondescript now, and it also shows that this person's clothing taste is really bad;
But ten years ago, this kind of dress was quite classic, and now there are people who mix and match like this, and of course, it is not a twelve-point rarity, but it is really not much;
It's just that such a mix and match of clothing seems to be barely a sign of identity, that is, the kind of old gangster who has been mixed in the rivers and lakes for half his life and has achieved nothing;
From a gangster to an old gangster, and he is reluctant to quit to live an ordinary life, such a person doesn't know how to describe it, but he can't help but make people a little embarrassed;
Most of the people who enter the rivers and lakes are rebellious behaviors that belong to the rebellious period of youth, perhaps because of the rebellion in adolescence, they are called little gangsters;
Since you are sensible, you will turn back; as an ordinary gangster who has not mixed up, it is very simple to turn back; because there is no entanglement of interests, and no one will be embarrassed;
So these people go home again, because the greatest love in this world is the tolerance of parents, and no matter what you have done in your rebellious youth, your parents will forgive their children for all the harm they have done.
When I return home, I will understand the kindness of my parents, and I will no longer be disgusted by my parents' nagging, and then according to my parents' wishes, or something I want, I will learn a certain craft or continue my unfinished studies;
Then he began to enter the civilian society, looking for a job, and then met a girl with similar interests, fell in love, and then formed a family, began to take responsibility, or worked hard, or did business, etc., and finally became a middle-aged man who became a father and a husband;
Although in fact, it is too difficult for a gangster to turn back and start anew, but most people will choose to turn back;
Therefore, there are not many people who can mix in the rivers and lakes for a lifetime, especially those who cannot get into the position, and can only become a gangster from a small gangster, and there are even fewer such people;
As for why he is still willing to mix in the rivers and lakes when he can't get in the middle of the position, mixing himself from a small gangster to an old gangster and still unwilling to look back, then this question is a bit profound, that is, what people usually say is a person with a story;
Now standing in front of Ao Xiuzhi, this person is obviously such a person, an old gangster with a story, because although he is a gangster who has achieved nothing on the surface, he is actually a member of Brother Tiger, but he can choose such an identity as a cover-up, and he has his own story;
"Hmm;" Ao Xiuzhi didn't have too much curiosity about other people's stories, and only responded to the greeting of the tiger brother in front of him, indicating that he heard it; he didn't have any other words of praise because of the behavior of the person in front of him just now, nor did he look different because of his taste in clothing, he still had that gloomy face, and casually made a gesture for the guards to retreat;
Thinking that the tiger brother was already accustomed to it, he didn't say anything anymore, and at the same time, Ao Xiuzhi's guards also put away the weapons in their hands in response to Ao Xiuzhi's response, and each stepped back to guard the side;
Although they didn't know the man in front of them, they could tell from Ao Xiuzhi's unresponsive reaction that the person in front of them should belong to one of the black forces;
In fact, he did belong to one of the black powers, and he did receive orders to rush over, the only difference was that he seemed to arrive a little earlier than the others;
"Zhuang Feng is missing;" As the guards retreated, Ao Xiuzhi looked at the tiger brother in front of him and said loudly;
With Ao Xiuzhi's words, Brother Hu obviously had a change in his pupils, although his face still looked so expressionless;
"The last place to appear is two kilometers downstream of this river;" Ao Xiuzhi didn't get an answer from this tiger brother, but from the change in his pupils, he knew that the person in front of him was absolutely loyal to Zhuang Feng, and even his loyalty was not as high as that of the guards who Zhuang Feng regarded as a brother;
"The others won't come, let's go find Meng Yuanhua;" After Ao Xiuzhi finished speaking, the tiger brother in front of him only said this, and then walked towards the river, and disappeared from Ao Xiuzhi's sight in the blink of an eye;
Ao Xiuzhi watched this tiger brother disappear, and his heart was quite complicated, not because of this tiger brother's disrespect, although he did speak a little like he was telling others;
The pronoun of Brother Tiger is actually not one of the dark forces of the Zhuang tradition, they were established after Zhuang Feng officially took over the Zhuang family, and when this generation was established, the head of the Western Courtyard of the previous generation and Ao Xiuzhi did not know that Zhuang Feng still had such a force in secret;
It wasn't until Zhuang Feng disappeared ten years ago that he handed over the contact information of Brother Tiger to Ao Xiuzhi, and asked Ao Xiuzhi to help maintain it;
Regarding the existence of Brother Tiger, Ao Xiuzhi was really surprised when Zhuang Feng gave her information, because Ao Xiuzhi himself was the head of the dark power, but he didn't know that Zhuang Feng still had such a black force in his hand;
Ao Xiuzhi wanted to ask a few more words, than if the origin of the pronoun, in order to understand the reason for the composition of this pronoun, it is also convenient to maintain; after all, the establishment of such a black power always requires his faith, or after something to wash his mind, to be able to establish a loyal force;
But Zhuang Feng didn't say anything, just gave Ao Xiuzhi a contact information and maintained it, and Zhuang Feng's information on Ao Xiuzhi was actually very simple, like any black force under Ao Xiuzhi, there was no special task, of course, it was only for the black world;
In the past ten years, this black power known as Brother Tiger has regularly delivered information to Ao Xiuzhi, and Ao Xiuzhi also has their contact information and provides funds, but these people seem to be extremely reluctant to deal with her Ao Xiuzhi;
Although every meeting with them in the past ten years was actually only a handful of them, and it was not because Ao Xiuzhi asked them to do things, but because of the rumors about Zhuang Feng; although they always seemed very respectful, Ao Xiuzhi always felt that they were alienated from herself;
Fortunately, Brother Tiger was handed over to Ao Xiuzhi by Zhuang Feng, so although there was an estrangement with these people, he didn't embarrass them;
Now the tiger brother in front of him is only a change in the pupils of Zhuang Feng mentioned by Ao Xiuzhi, although it is only a change in the pupils on the surface, but it gives people the feeling that he is willing to die for Zhuang Feng and will never hesitate, just like Zhuang Feng wants to jump off the building with his guards, those people will also jump down without hesitation;
Of course, such a person Ao Xiuzhi also has in his hands, otherwise it would be impossible to control the West Courtyard for such a long time, especially after Zhuang Feng disappeared for ten years, Ao Xiuzhi was still able to control the West Courtyard without the head of the family;
Perhaps it is precisely because Ao Xiuzhi herself has such power that she will notice the difference between Brother Hu's treatment of her Ao Xiuzhi and Zhuang Feng;
Ao Xiuzhi lit a cigarette, looked at the tiger brother who had disappeared from her sight, and thought a little in her mind until Ye Tao arrived;
"The subordinates are derelict in their duties;" Ye Tao arrived, looked at the endgame in front of him, and said loudly;
"Hmm;" Ao Xiuzhi did not blame Ye Tao for being late, because Ye Tao could not seem to be blamed for this incident;
In this regard, Ye Tao didn't say anything more, although judging from the endgame in front of him, because of his tardiness, Ao Xiuzhi was obviously in trouble, but Ye Tao also knew that although Ao Xiuzhi always had a cold face and had extremely high requirements for work, he would not criticize his subordinates at will;
Here, Ye Tao had just finished asking for his fault of being late, and Feng Ting also arrived immediately, but there was not like Ye Tao, at least he still brought someone here;
"The subordinates are derelict in their duties;" Feng Ting arrived alone, saying exactly the same thing as Ye Tao, but there was more self-blame in his tone than Ye Tao;
"Hmm;" Ao Xiuzhi didn't question Feng Ting as she did to Ye Tao, and responded quite calmly;
Feng Ting didn't accept this as calmly as Ye Tao, and was about to continue to say something, but she was just about to open her mouth when she was interrupted by Ao Xiuzhi;
"This seat already knows, I don't blame you for this;" Ao Xiuzhi knew what Feng Ting wanted to say, and stopped Feng Ting's self-blame;
Because although Ao Xiuzhi asked Feng Tingran to contact Brother Tiger, in fact, Ao Xiuzhi only has one person's contact information, and that is the pronoun of 'Brother Tiger', even Ao Xiuzhi himself doesn't know what this pronoun is;
"Let's go;" Ao Xiuzhi retracted his thoughts, without any words of reproach, and said calmly;
"Yes;" Ye Tao and Feng Ting didn't have any abnormality about Ao Xiuzhi's calmness, but responded calmly;
Immediately, Ao Xiuzhi drove to Nanyuan under the escort of Ye Tao, not only because of what Brother Hu said, but also because Ao Xiuzhi himself knew the power of Meng Yuanhua;
With the power controlled by Meng Yuanhua, coupled with the relationship between Meng Yuanhua and Zhuang Feng, it can be regarded as the only choice in the current situation;
In Nanyuan, Meng Yuanhua was working on some documents in the study, while Zheng Shan was also sitting on the sofa, some documents and a cup of tea were neatly stacked on the coffee table, and Zheng Shan's hands were not idle, he was flipping through a document;
With the return of Zhuang Feng and the re-establishment of the governor's hall, Meng Yuanhua was also busy again;
In the ten years that the original Meng Yuanhua has carried in this life, he has already put the power in his hands on the right track;
As long as an organization is on track, then everything naturally runs according to the rules, and as the person at the helm, she is actually the most idle person in the organization, except for emergencies, she almost does not need to worry about it;
It's just that with the establishment of the governor's hall, Zhuang Feng's plan was rolled out, so Zhuang Feng became the idler who only managed the overall strategy, and the reason for this position was originally Meng Yuanhua's;
In this regard, Meng Yuanhua was very angry, and complained fiercely in front of Zhuang Feng, and threatened several times;
However, Zhuang Feng did not enter the oil and salt, and finally took over the job that originally belonged to Zhuang Feng;
The administrative work is extremely trivial and complicated, but fortunately, Meng Yuan Huasheng has carried it for more than ten years, and it is indeed as Zhuang Feng said, and it has indeed been exercised, and it can be handled skillfully;
Meng Yuanhua in the study looked at these documents, although she had experienced such a complicated work, she still couldn't help muttering something, if she listened carefully, it was nothing more than saying bad things about Zhuang Feng somewhere;
"Zheng Dashan, you see how good your old man's name is, just send a kind heart, I don't understand business, what kind of business report analysis, I can see my head big;
"Mr. Meng, I am now the chief financial officer of the Governor's Hall;" Zheng Shan followed Meng Yuanhua's words, raised his head and said to Meng Yuanhua seriously;
"Seventh Brother said that the affairs of the trading company should be discussed with you;" Meng Yuanhua did not buy Zheng Shan's account, and said a little tiredly;
Since Zhuang Feng established the Governor's Hall, Zheng Shan officially belonged to Zhuang Feng's subordinates, and Zhuang Feng also further communicated with Zheng Shan, and clearly knew that Zhuang Feng wanted to take back Jiangzhou, as for Zhuang Feng's longer-term plan, this was not said, but just to take back Jiangzhou, which was enough to make Zheng Shan take a long time to come back to his senses;
After Zheng Shan officially entered the governor's hall, he began to really come into contact with Zhuang Feng, and he also began to understand the so-called Zhuang family;
Zhuang Feng's Governor's Hall, in fact, is Zhuang Feng's cabinet, which is responsible for handling all the affairs of Zhuang Clan;
Originally, Zheng Shan, who gave up the trading company, was still a little reluctant, after all, he also put a lot of effort into the trading company, but after entering the governor's hall and becoming the chief financial officer, Zheng Shan finally understood everything that Zhuang Feng had, so he consciously gave up control of the trading company and only focused on the work that Zhuang Feng gave him;
Although there are actually only two high-level leaders in the governor's hall now, Meng Yuanhua and Zheng Shan, Zheng Shan is very interested in not taking power;
Of course, regarding the affairs of the business and social industry, Zheng Shan still responded to Zhuang Feng's request and did his best to provide Meng Yuanhua with a staff officer;
That is, Meng Yuanhua is now in charge of all affairs in the governor's hall, and Zheng Shan is in charge of financial power and provides business advisers for Meng Yuanhua;
It seems that Zheng Shan is not as majestic as he used to control the trading company, but Zheng Shan is beginning to understand how huge a power like the Zhuang family is;
Although the current Zheng Shan is indeed not as powerful as when he controlled the trading company, once Zhuang Feng regains Jiangzhou, then he will become a powerful figure, rather than a rich businessman in the eyes of the common people and a lackey in the eyes of the aristocratic eunuchs;
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Zheng Shan has completely given up control of the trading company since he entered the governor's hall and had further exchanges with Zhuang Feng, and now the trading company has been fully handed over to Wu Hui to manage, and he, Zheng Shan, only wholeheartedly does his job;
Regarding Zheng Shan's performance, Zhuang Feng fully accepted Zheng Shan, and also regarded Zheng Shan as his confidant, rather than purely because Zhuang Feng needed the support of the trading company for the time being;
Not only Zhuang Feng was like this, but also Meng Yuanhua accepted Zheng Shan, and regarded Zheng Shan as her confidant and important minister who Meng Yuanhua and Zhuang Feng re-emerged together;
Zheng Shan is happy about such a return, because Zheng Shan's heart has calculated that as long as Zhuang Feng rises again, then he, Zheng Shan, as the chief financial officer of the Zhuang family, will be able to complete the regrets of the year;
People are mutual, Zheng Shan is willing to pay, Zhuang Feng will naturally give in return, so for now, Zheng Shan is quite dedicated to entering Zhuang Feng, of course, the return is also considerable;
"Mr. Meng, I have already dealt with these documents, but you still have to read them carefully; we said in advance, if something goes wrong, it can't be counted on my head;" Zheng Shan said while sorting out the documents on the coffee table;
"Settle, everything is borne by this seat;" Meng Yuanhua showed a confident smile;
is your own person, such a trick of deceiving the upper and lower is naturally a taboo thing, but Meng Yuanhua also shows his acceptance of Zheng Shan, not to mention how difficult it is to deceive Zhuang Feng;
Although Zhuang Feng doesn't look like a shrewd person, and even feels a little confused many times, Meng Yuanhua knows what kind of person Zhuang Feng is, don't be confused by his appearance;
Zheng Shan also agrees with this; although Zheng Shan's contact with Zhuang Feng is not too long, he can use Zheng Shan's shrewd experience, and naturally understands the truth; it is precisely because of this that although Zhuang Feng has clearly stated that the last thing he wants to see is to channel power, Zheng Shan still helps Meng Yuanhua deal with affairs, of course, he also hides from Zhuang Feng;
"Mr. Zheng is the best, I will never tell that Zhuang Feng, he has a lot of things to do all day long, why do you have to ask me to deal with these things, it's just unreasonable" Meng Yuanhua looked at Zheng Shan helping her deal with business troubles, and naturally she had something to say;
"Okay, what else?" Zheng Shan naturally heard the consciousness in these words, and said one more sentence rather helplessly;
"I'm going to prepare for supper, Zhuang Feng will come back soon, Mr. Zheng, you can hurry up;" Meng Yuanhua listened to Zheng Shan's words, and unceremoniously picked up a stack of folders from the table and hugged them to Zheng Shan, saying something nice in his mouth;
What else could Zheng Shan say about this, he just reluctantly showed a smile, took the document given to him by Meng Yuanhua, and flipped it up casually;
Despite this, Zheng Shan was actually quite happy in his heart, not only did Meng Yuanhua's performance show that he had accepted him, but also cared about the dream of that distant place, and it was also closer because of Zhuang Feng or Meng Yuanhua's performance;
This feeling is that he Zheng Shan controls the trading company, and controls the hope of approaching the dream that he can not have with the wealth of Qianjizha;
This may be the so-called happiness of being tired but one step closer to your dreams;
Just as Zheng Shan continued to deal with the information given to him by Meng Yuanhua, there was a knock on the door;
"Come in;" Zheng Shan said without raising his head when he heard the knock on the door;
"Sister Hua, please go downstairs for a while;" With Zheng Shan's voice, a guard pushed the door in, looked at Zheng Shan and said respectfully;
"Okay;" Zheng Shan responded, and the guards withdrew;
The guards and servants of Nanyuan are still Meng Yuanhua's old people, so this title has not changed, and Zheng Shan naturally knows about this;
Then Zheng Shan sorted out the documents and got up to leave;
Zheng Shan went downstairs and came to the living room, where he saw Meng Yuanhua sitting on the sofa, Liu Jie and Shu Mingbo were whispering something there, and Zhou Xilin was also a bitter gourd face;
"What's wrong?" When Zheng Shan looked at Meng Yuanhua's frowning expression, he also tightened his brows and said loudly;
Liu Jie, Shu Mingbo and Gai Hongtao, Zeng Jianping was left in the metropolis by Zhuang Feng, and he would not leave easily; although Zhuang Feng himself moved to Nanyuan, the safety of Nanyuan is now taken care of by Zhou Xilin leading Zhuang Feng's original ten guards back to Shangmeng Yuanhua's original guards;
Now the metropolis is still Zhuang Feng's official office, and all relevant orders are also issued by the metropolis; Liu Jie and the other four people have been stationed in the metropolis for a long time to be in charge of related affairs, but now they suddenly ran to Nanyuan, which can't help but Zheng Shan feels a little bad;
"Liu Jie, you can say it again;" Facing Zheng Shan's question, Meng Yuanhua said loudly;
"Two bells ago, Xu Wei sent a distress signal, and after we arrived, we were sure that we had been attacked, and now our whereabouts are unknown;" Liu Jie responded to Meng Yuanhua's words and said loudly;
"What happened two hours ago, why is it only reported now?" Zheng Shan listened to Liu Jie's words, although he said them briefly, he also knew that Zhuang Feng might have had an accident, and suddenly an inexplicable anger erupted;
For Zheng Shan's sudden outburst, everyone was shocked for a while, and they didn't know how to respond;
