"I want to go out;" Zhuang Feng said to Meng Yuanhua, enjoying the cigarette after the meal;

"What's wrong?" Meng Yuanhua looked at Zhuang Feng and asked a little incomprehensibly;

"You have also seen the current situation, Jiangzhou can be regarded as taking it back, but this manpower is still far behind, not to mention that the most expensive thing in this century is talent;" Zhuang Feng responded to Meng Yuanhua;

Meng Yuanhua just smiled and didn't say anything;

Now Zhuang Feng and Wu Jinwen have reached an agreement, Wu Jinwen will stay in Jiangzhou quietly until the end of the year, and then return to Jindu to be his speaker, and then the people sent by Jindu will be Wu Jinwen and their henchmen, plus Wu Jinwen, they will have rightfully grasped the power by then, and if they want to move Zhuang Feng, it will be really troublesome for Zhuang Feng;

Zhuang Feng only has half a year to stabilize Jiangzhou, or Zhuang Feng must completely control Jiangzhou in half a year;

Today's situation is that Jiangzhou officialdom is no problem, and the power of the Zhuang family for two generations has already infiltrated the Jiangzhou officialdom; from the local deputy state officials in Jiangzhou to the roadside patrol police, there are people who have infiltrated the Zhuang family;

Although Zhuang Feng has been missing for ten years, these people who have entered the officialdom still cannot escape Zhuang's control;

The reason is very simple, if Zhuang Feng dies, the officials who lost control will not have any loss, they will still enjoy the glory and wealth, because in addition to Zhuang Feng, only Ao Xiuzhi will know who belongs to the Zhuang family, and once Zhuang Feng dies, they will not automatically confess;

However, as long as Zhuang Feng is not dead, as long as the Zhuang family still exists, then Zhuang Feng only needs to send a message, and these people still have to do things according to the rules; if they are not obedient, then Zhuang Feng only needs to make public the information that he belongs to the Zhuang family, and the glory and wealth they have will naturally disappear;

No one in power likes that they can't fully grasp the power, especially in today's Jinguo, where the major families have already infiltrated the Jinguo, and Jindu also knows this fact, but there is nothing they can do;

There is not much problem with Jiangzhou officialdom, and there is not much problem with Jianghu affairs, and now the difference is a person who has enough ability to control the business world;

Although Zhuang Feng only needs to send messages to his brothers and friends who are still alive, naturally those brothers and friends will return to Zhuang Feng's side, so that he has enough manpower and is still Zhuang Feng's closest person;

However, now, Zhuang Feng did not dare to let his brothers and friends return, because all this was not stable, and if he was recruited back at this time, he would not be willing to fight again as he had done more than ten years ago;

Outsiders only see Zhuang Feng's miracle, but only Zhuang Feng himself knows what Zhuang Feng lost in the struggle more than ten years ago; now in the face of the few remaining brothers and friends, Zhuang Feng will not let them take risks and fight again;

If we can't let the few remaining brothers and friends take risks and fight, then we can only reorganize the manpower;

Meng Yuanhua plus Rao Hao, and with Zheng Shan's assistance, Zhuang Feng can let go of Jiangzhou's officialdom affairs; as for the affairs of the rivers and lakes, this is also the most familiar thing for Zhuang Feng, with Wang Puhong who grew up in the Zhuang compound and has been mixed in the rivers and lakes for ten years, plus Zheng Xingbing, who is a soldier, who has also worked hard in the rivers and lakes for ten years to fight, and then there is a typical old gangster like Zhao Yi who has been mixed from the age of fifteen or sixteen to the present to the present, and is familiar with the head and ground to reconcile all parties, then the affairs of the rivers and lakes Zhuang Feng can also let go;

The most troublesome thing is the business world;

Although there is Zheng Shan, who has been in the top spot in the Jiangzhou business community for nearly ten years, this is also the reason why Zhuang Feng does not dare to let go;

Although Zhuang Feng is not familiar with business operations, Zhuang Feng has been taught how to be the head of the family and how to control people's hearts from the day he entered the Zhuang compound;

Zheng Shan did not have an emotional bond with Zhuang Feng like Meng Yuanhua Rao Hao, nor did he have the loyalty of Wang Puhong;

Although Zhuang Feng admits that he can control Zheng Shan, many things are not based on so-called self-confidence, and if Zheng Shan finds that the business world under his control can reach an agreement with others to achieve his dreams, then it is natural that he will choose to abandon Zhuang Feng;

It is better to block this road in advance than to be abandoned, and according to the style of each family, as long as there is no betrayal, it is natural to give sufficient benefits to the subordinates;

Zhuang Feng also thinks like this, as long as Zheng Shan does not betray him, then what Zheng Shan wants, Zhuang Feng will naturally give;

It's just that sometimes the rebellion between people is not entirely due to the change of people's hearts, but more of a choice in front of interests;

Zheng Shan handed over the trading company to show his loyalty, but Zhuang Feng knew what loyalty was, and he did not require Zheng Shan to have the loyalty that he had waited for ten years with Zhuang Feng, and give Zheng Shan in return, but he must also be prepared to be betrayed;

In today's world, the giants and merchants have the strength to influence the pattern of the world, and they are also one of the indispensable forces of the major families;

The more important it is, the more Zhuang Feng needs someone who absolutely trusts him to control the Jiangzhou business community;

Such a candidate does have one in Zhuang Feng's heart;

But this person is not a member of the Zhuang family, and he is not a person who can be recruited by Zhuang Feng with a phone call;

Meng Yuanhua understands what Zhuang Feng thinks, or Meng Yuanhua's requirements are not high, and some naively believe what the book says: If a woman has always been by the man's side, then maybe one day, he will fall in love with this woman;

As long as Zhuang Feng no longer plays and disappears, Meng Yuanhua doesn't mind what Zhuang Feng does, or asks her what Meng Yuanhua does;

"Don't you ask me who I'm looking for?" Zhuang Feng looked at Meng Yuanhua smiling there, but he didn't answer;

"As long as it's not a woman;" Meng Yuanhua looked at Zhuang Feng, jokingly but seemed to be quite serious;

"What, it's really a woman, and it's a beautiful woman, so that this seat almost moved;" Zhuang Feng looked at Meng Yuanhua's joking appearance, and said as if he was joking there;

What kind of thoughts Meng Yuanhua has in his heart, Zhuang Feng naturally understands; it's just that many things, or life, are too complicated, and some things can't be said clearly;

Fortunately, Meng Yuanhua also belongs to a person with a story, so she also understands Zhuang Feng, and she doesn't force Zhuang Feng to do it, but she is a little naïve to believe that sentence that she doesn't know which book she saw in which book;

"Virtue;" Meng Yuanhua looked at Zhuang Feng's joking appearance, and spit out a sentence that was neither light nor serious;

In this regard, Zhuang Feng pulled half of his cheek with some disapproval;

"I'll leave tomorrow, you can watch the affairs of Jiangzhou first, and discuss with Brother Li if you have something;" Zhuang Feng finished lighting his cigarette there, stood up and said;

"Hmm;" Meng Yuanhua just squeaked, indicating that he heard;

"Sleep;" Zhuang Feng turned around and went upstairs after speaking, but turned his head at the top of the stairs and said, "Do you want to sleep together?"

"Okay;" Meng Yuanhua's joke about Zhuang Feng really didn't react at that moment, and even had a little bit of expectation, but he reacted in an instant, Zhuang Feng and he were not that casual person, so what Zhuang Feng said was indeed just a good night cliché, and he responded jokingly there;

Listening to Meng Yuanhua's words, Zhuang Feng quickly left in three steps and two steps;

In this regard, Meng Yuanhua just smiled, extinguished the cigarette butt, and went to rest;

Shaozhou, the east moat;

The rainy rain in June is always annoying, but Zhuang Feng likes the feeling of the first rain;

Yang Lin drove the car silently as always, and Xu Wei and Zhuang Feng chatted without a word;

"Young master, who is worthy of letting you go out in person;" Xu Wei followed Zhuang Feng to Shaozhou, and also knew that Zhuang Feng was here to find someone, but he didn't know who to find, but the person who could let Zhuang Feng go out in person, Xu Wei was still very curious;

"What is it to run away when you see a cat?" Zhuang Feng listened to Xu Wei's question, but did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically;

"Mouse;" For Zhuang Feng's question, Xu Wei was still thinking about the answer, but Yang Lin, who was driving the car, spit out such a sentence first;

"No, it's that simple;" Xu Wei responded to Yang Lin;

"Then what do you say?" Yang Lin asked rhetorically;

"Apart from snakes, mice, chickens, ducklings, sparrows, and birds, what else do they run away from cats?" said Xu Wei to himself;

"Fish;" Yang Lin listened to Xu Wei's self-talk, and said to the stubble;

"If the fish is in the water, the cat will not go into the water;" Xu Wei directly refuted Yang Lin;

"Haha;" Zhuang Feng listened to Xu Wei and Yang Lin where they were arguing about this joking question, laughed heartlessly, and said at the same time: "Don't complicate simple problems, Linzi is right, it's fish that runs when you see a cat;"

Xu Wei was a little speechless about this, but Yang Lin was also smiling with Zhuang Feng's words;

This feeling is very good, Zhuang Feng likes this feeling, or Zhuang Feng likes the people around him to laugh, or who doesn't like to laugh, it's just that life is too short and there are not many times to laugh;

Zhuang Feng looked at where Xu Wei and Yang Lin were smiling, but his thoughts were a little distracted;

When Zhuang Feng first saw the Xiaoyu, the Xiaoyu didn't smile;

At that time, Xiaoyu was a little haggard, so haggard that it did not match her age, and I don't know what kind of experience would make a girl who was only in her twenties have such a haggard appearance and such deep eyes;

This was all the curiosity that Zhuang Feng had when he first saw the Xiaoyu, although Zhuang Feng had lost his sense of the outside world at that time, and he would no longer have fluctuations or curiosity about most things or people;

The strange thing is that when Zhuang Feng first saw the Xiaoyu, he did have curiosity, but it is normal to think about it, generally speaking, girls who are nearly in their teens are full of youth, and there are very few girls at this age who can only have the calmness that can only be found in the near future;

Maybe it's because of the calmness that doesn't match the age that makes Zhuang Feng curious, curiosity will kill the cat, and of course it will also let Zhuang Feng resolve the curiosity in his heart;

When Zhuang Feng saw Xiaoyu for the first time, he was a little old, a little haggard, and even had traces of time and wrinkles on his forehead, a pair of deep and calm eyes, which was what kind of experience it took to be able to precipitate the eyes, which was by no means what a girl who was nearly ten years old should have;

Even the natural reserve of women is not what the age of the Xiaoyu should have, and there is any reserve in the youth, but the Xiaoyu looks quite reserved, reserved and a little timid, quite some of the beauty of traditional classical women;

It's just that the deep wrinkles and the deep and calm eyes tell Zhuang Feng that the girl in front of him is by no means a cowardly person; at such an age, the deep wrinkles indicate that she is long in thinking, and the deep and calm eyes represent that she has an indescribable experience;

Later, Zhuang Feng learned that Xiaoyu was indeed not a cowardly girl, on the contrary, Xiaoyu had a strong temperament, at least it seemed like that;

Sincere, intelligent, resolute, beautiful; this is Zhuang Feng's assertion to Xiaoyu;

Such a girl is extremely rare in the atmosphere of Jinguo, at least Zhuang Feng thinks so, so she is also in her heart, and she can be regarded as friends with Xiaoyu;

When Zhuang Feng decided to retake Jiangzhou, he had always regarded Xiaoyu as the top candidate in Jiangzhou's business community;

At present, Jiangzhou is initially stable, and Zhuang Feng also determined that Xiaoyu is the most suitable candidate to succeed Zheng Shan, so he took Xu Wei and Yang Lin to Shaozhou to look for it;

"Young master, it's here;" Xu Wei Yang Lin looked at Zhuang Feng as if he was thinking something, so he didn't pick up Zhuang Feng again, until he arrived at the place according to the address given by Zhuang Feng, and then said out loud;

"Beauty, that's Xiaoyu?" Xu Wei looked at a young girl on the side of the street and said there;

"Yes;" Zhuang Feng also saw the young girl, and said aloud;

Zhuang Feng was not surprised that Xu Wei was able to recognize a girl on the street as the person Zhuang Feng was looking for, although Xu Wei had never seen Xiaoyu, but with Xu Wei's understanding of Zhuang Feng, anyone who Zhuang Feng liked naturally had something extraordinary;

And the girl Xu Wei saw obviously had a different temperament, just standing casually on the side of the street, and her clothes were ordinary, but she naturally had a sense of pride and independence;

Why do you feel this way? Xu Wei knows, because when Xiaoyu stands there, she does not have a natural look or expectation when waiting, as ordinary people do, Xiaoyu just stands there naturally, and is sprinkled by the summer sun through the shade of the roadside trees on her somewhat thin figure, which seems to be so tired, and naturally produces a sense of independence;

"Brother Seven, I'm tempted;" Xu Wei looked at the Xiaoyu who was still waiting on the side of the street, and said there without looking back;

Listening to Xu Wei's words, Zhuang Feng was also stunned, because Xu Wei rarely called Zhuang Feng Seventh Brother, and this title was still a joke in the Zhuang compound when he was a teenager;

Xu Wei, like everyone else, still calls Zhuang Feng the young master or the young master most of the time, and once Xu Wei calls Zhuang Feng the seventh brother, it means that Xu Wei has encountered something difficult, not as a subordinate guard, but as a brotherhood to ask Zhuang Feng for help;

Now that Xu Wei is actually talking like this, Zhuang Feng is really a little distracted;

Zhuang Feng also knew the charm of Xiaoyu, and even he was almost moved back then, but it didn't make Xu Wei just look at it from afar, and he tugged at his heartstrings;

"Really?" Zhuang Feng understood that Xu Wei was telling the truth, but he still couldn't believe it;

"Really;" Xu Wei turned his head to look at Zhuang Feng and said seriously;

"Red face and trouble;" For Xu Wei's seriousness, Zhuang Feng didn't know how to deal with it, and sighed helplessly;

"I feel her loneliness and anxiety, and I want to protect her;" Xu Wei ignored Zhuang Feng's exclamation and said to himself;

"Xiaoyu is a woman, you may not be able to beat her;" Zhuang Feng put away the exclamation and changed to his usual half-joking voice;

"Didn't you see it?" Xu Wei listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and he was also a little disbelieving, because although Xu Wei only looked at the Xiaoyu from a distance, he really didn't see any traces of martial arts on the Xiaoyu;

"If you don't believe it, forget it;" Zhuang Feng replied angrily;

"Seventh brother, I'm serious, let's not laugh first;" Xu Wei looked at Zhuang Feng's appearance and knew that Zhuang Feng was the same as usual again;

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, Linzi, you are waiting here;" Zhuang Feng said, and then got out of the car and left;

It's just that although Zhuang Feng was joking, he knew that what Xu Wei said was right;

The fish seems to have always been strong, but after all, he is young, and he can't hide the exhaustion that goes deep into the bone marrow on his face;

A casual but uneasy temperament, always wanting to do something, always giving sincerity to people, but always getting nothing good, always being hurt and tired;

A contradictory appearance that looks strong, but is pitiful, even Zhuang Feng is sometimes a little unbearable, but Zhuang Feng can't do anything;

People's experiences are their own experiences, and many things need to be faced alone, and they cannot be changed by what others say or do;

Maybe it's because of this, although Xu Wei only looked at Xiaoyu from a distance and stirred something in his heart, Zhuang Feng really didn't know what to say, after all, they were all in their thirties, and many things had to be handled by themselves, don't point fingers at others;

"Xiaoyu;" Zhuang Feng got out of the car and walked to Xiaoyu's side, and greeted him loudly;

"Madman;" Xiaoyu looked at Zhuang Feng and greeted him warmly;

Zhuang Feng had a contact before he came to look for Xiaoyu, otherwise it would be very difficult for an ordinary person like Xiaoyu to find it through the power in his hands;

"I haven't seen you for a long time, it's still like that, when can you make yourself more beautiful;" Zhuang Feng looked at the Xiaoyu who didn't seem to have changed, and said familiarly;

"The queen is like this, she likes to look at it or not;" Xiaoyu didn't seem to have much of a sense of rustiness, although she and Zhuang Feng could only be regarded as ordinary friends;

"Woman;" Zhuang Feng pretended to sigh;

"Can you change it?" Xiaoyu said a little boringly, because Zhuang Feng was really boring enough, and he always said that sentence over and over again;

"Okay, in other words, let's go to dinner;" Zhuang Feng decisively changed to a more boring sentence;

To this the fish replied with a roll of the eyes;

"I haven't been to this place, is there anything special?" Zhuang Feng ignored the white eyes of the Xiaoyu;

"Let's go;" For the reincarnation of the starving ghost, the fish chose to compromise;

Then with Zhuang Feng, I found a fly house on the street to buy local snacks;

"Let's eat;" the snack bar that didn't seem to have a good business quickly served the food, and the fish said calmly;

"Not bad;" Zhuang Feng said as he took a bite;

"Say, what's the matter with this time?" Xiaoyu was too lazy to take care of Zhuang Feng, what difference could there be between good and bad food in such a broken fly hall;

"I want you to do me a favor;" Zhuang Feng naturally didn't have much interest in eating any snacks, but just wanted to have a few words with Xiaoyu alone;

"I'm like this, you know, if you can help, that's no problem, don't blame me if you can't help;" Xiaoyu looked at Zhuang Feng's serious appearance, and continued there;

"Are you still willing to go back to Jiangzhou?" Zhuang Feng looked at Xiaoyu's sincere appearance, and couldn't help but sigh a little, and said tentatively there;

"Jiangzhou?" Xiaoyu listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and looked a little questioning;

Yes, Jiangzhou can be regarded as a sad place for Xiaoyu, and naturally he didn't expect Zhuang Feng to actually talk about this, and he didn't understand it for a while;

"I need someone to help me take charge of the Jiangzhou trading company;" Zhuang Feng naturally knew that Jiangzhou was a place for Xiaoyu that he would not go if he could not go, so he said it directly;

"You went out again?" Xiaoyu still knows a little about Zhuang Feng, listening to Zhuang Feng's words, I think Zhuang Feng has returned to the rivers and lakes;

Zhuang Feng didn't answer directly to this, just smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it;

"This is a request for help from me, don't be embarrassed, if you don't want to go to Jiangzhou, then forget it;" Zhuang Feng lit a cigarette, as if he was thinking about something, and then continued;

Xiaoyu actually doesn't know much about Zhuang Feng, because Zhuang Feng always hides himself; in Xiaoyu's understanding, Zhuang Feng is a gangster who once mixed up in the rivers and lakes, and has some unspeakable experience, but he doesn't know the Zhuang family;

When Zhuang Feng said that he wanted Xiaoyu to go back to Jiangzhou to help, he was really a little reluctant; after all, the water in the rivers and lakes was too mixed, and this Xiaoyu himself had an understanding, perhaps it was precisely because he understood the rivers and lakes, so if there was no need, Xiaoyu was unwilling to go to the mixed water again;

"Between us, let's just say it, I don't want to go back to Jiangzhou, and I don't want to wade into that troubled water;" Xiaoyu thought for a while, but still said so sincerely;

"I understand, don't be embarrassed, I'll find a way to find someone else;" Zhuang Feng didn't have any other emotions because of Xiaoyu's refusal, and said calmly;

"Go sit down with me, and have dinner together in the evening;" Xiaoyu looked at Zhuang Feng's calm appearance, and was still a little embarrassed in his heart;

In terms of Xiaoyu's temperament, it is very difficult to refuse a friend, but he really doesn't want to go to Jiangzhou, so he can only simply refuse;

"Okay;" Zhuang Feng was a little lost in his heart, but he didn't leave directly; after all, a friend can't leave after the matter is finished;
