Chapter 45: Hu Shao

"I would like to ask you to help Ms. Jiang Xuezi say a few kind words for us, and I hope that your country will purchase our company's steel. Of course, we won't let you help in vain, and we will reward you handsomely. Simmons gets straight to the point, not shy about mentioning kickbacks.

When Ruan Jingtian heard this, he had at least two questions in his heart.

Ruan Jingtian's first question is that there is such a business in this world, which is a shallow and deep statement. Is this how people who come to Shengmei Business do business? The second question is why Simmons is looking for him.

He believed that Simmons must have done the same to the others, but the others apparently refused, otherwise Simmons would not have been in such a hurry to find his head.

Jenny, who was beside Simmons, took out a delicate jade box and sent it to Ruan Jingtian and Li Butterfly. Simmons said: "We are deeply honored to be able to meet such a beautiful woman as Mu Qingzi, and when we meet for the first time, we give Miss Mu a small gift, which is not a respect, and I hope to accept it." With that, he opened the jade box, and inside was an almost transparent glass-ground jadeite.

Ruan Jingtian didn't move this jade, just glanced at it, and said lightly: "Mr. Simmons, although I am not a businessman, it seems rare to talk about this kind of business so bluntly." ”

"Xiaomujun, everyone here is looking for the right opportunity, everyone is going straight, each taking what they need, Shengmei business attracts the dignitaries of Dongshan City together, which is to provide everyone with a mutually beneficial and resource sharing opportunity. ”

Ruan Jingtian looked at Simmons, and after a while, said:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Simmons, you seem to have found the wrong person, and I can't do anything about your request. ”

Simmons and Jenny glanced at each other, but they didn't give up, Simmons continued: "Xiaomu-kun, I see that you and Miss Jiang Xuezi have a very good relationship, as long as you are willing to help, no matter whether it succeeds or not, we will be very grateful, and we also very much hope to become friends with a young handsome man like you." ”

Ruan Jingtian stared at Simmons meaningfully, and then said:

"Mr. Simmons, there is an old saying in our philosophers, which is what a gentleman precepts. We just met, and you talked to me about such a serious problem, I have to worry. ”

Simmons seemed to grit his teeth and make up his mind, thought for a while, and said, "Xiaomu-kun, I'll be honest." We're desperate, and if we don't get this business done, I'm afraid Jenny and I may never be able to go back to Wheat Country. Just now, I have been observing the conversation between you and Minister Xiao and Jiang Xuezi, and we think that you are our last hope, so we take the liberty of disturbing you. ”

"Why are you desperate? Miss Jiang Xuezi is in the hall, you can go and meet her directly and talk to her about your business. Ruan Jingtian felt that this matter was not simple, and he didn't want to get involved in such a thing. However, out of politeness, he patiently talked to Simmons.

"We have contacted Miss Jiang Xuezi, but she refused to meet with us, and I have asked many people for help, but in vain, you may be the last person we have found, if it still doesn't work, we can only pour steel into the sea. ”

"I take the liberty of asking: Miss Jiang Xuezi can afford to buy your steel?"

"To do munitions business in Dongshan City, you must get Jiang Xuezi's approval, and Minister Xiao only listens to her opinion. Simmons whispered.

Ruan Jingtian fell into deep thought, the iron ore content in the country was very small, and the main purpose of the war was to plunder the resources of other countries. Although Zheguo's iron and steel industry is well developed, after more than three years of conquest, Zheguo's steel production can no longer meet the needs of war preparedness, and now that Maiguo's steel has been delivered to the door, why doesn't Xiao Junyan buy it? Could it be that Simmons is a lion who is asking for a price in the sky? This possibility is almost zero.

Ruan Jingtian felt that things were far from being as simple as they seemed, and said: "Mr. Simmons, maybe you misunderstood, Miss Jiang Xuezi and I just met, and I can only be very sorry for your matter." ”

Simmons and Jenny looked gloomy, they also had the idea of cramming Buddha temporarily, so they had to find Ruan Jingtian, but the reality was cruel.

Ruan Jingtian and Li Butterfly got up to say goodbye and came to the dance hall next to them. Originally, his plan was to listen to Hu Qiuyuan's news, but it backfired, and he encountered a resale of steel that had nothing to do with him.

He analyzed what Simmons said, and felt that there were many problems in it. Even if they don't want to do business with others, they will politely play Tai Chi with others, say polite words, and finally refuse politely. However, Jiang Xuezi's refusal to talk to people is obviously not in line with the characteristics of Zheguo people, and to put it mildly, Jiang Xuezi is very impolite. If Jiang Xuezi really refuses like this, it will show that Zheguo and Mai Guo are going to fight each other, after all, the military transaction is actually a transaction between two countries, which is different from the transaction of ordinary commodities.

Ruan Jingtian suddenly understood: Xiao Junyan didn't want this batch of steel, but he wanted to get it without spending a penny, as long as Zheguo and Mai Guo were at war, then this batch of materials would naturally fall into Xiao Junyan's hands justifiably, and he was now deliberately hanging Simmons.

Ruan Jingtian was taken aback by this idea, once the Zheguo started a war with the Mai State, then the consequences would be very severe, the Mai Kingdom was an emerging power in the Lin Xing Continent, and it could not be defeated lightly.

He felt sad for Simmons and Jenny, not only was their steel gone, but I was afraid that even their lives could not be saved, no wonder Simmons said that he was cornered.

Ruan Jingtian put down Simmons's matter, watched the men and women hugging each other in the dance hall, felt a little bored, and was just about to stand up and leave with Li Butterfly, a handsome guy rushed to Li Butterfly and invited Li Butterfly to dance with a hippie smile.

Li Butterfly had never encountered such a situation, and looked at Ruan Jingtian in embarrassment. Ruan Jingtian frowned, stood up, and said, "I'm sorry, my friend is a little uncomfortable, you can invite someone else." ”

"It's okay, just dance a few tunes with me and you'll be comfortable in no time. The handsome guy said with a sigh of relief.

When Li Butterfly heard this, she was immediately annoyed, glared fiercely, took Ruan Jingtian's hand and said, "Senior brother, I don't like it here, let's go." ”

"Don't go, beauty. Hu Shao can take a fancy to you, that's your blessing. Four young men gathered around, one of whom shouted lightly.

When Ruan Jingtian heard the title of "Hu Shao", his heart moved, looked at Hu Shao, and pretended to be disdainful: "Where did Hu Shao come from, it won't be a big head of garlic." ”

When Hu Shao and the other four heard this, they were furious, and Hu Shao slapped Ruan Jingtian's face with a palm. Ruan Jingtian's body didn't move, his right hand grabbed the attacking palm like lightning, ran the Xuangang technique, pinched it, and only heard Hu Shao crying and screaming.

"Let go of Hu Shao, Hu Shao is the nephew of President Hu Qiuyuan, if something happens to Hu Shao, you will die. Seeing this, a person next to him immediately threatened Ruan Jingtian.

Ruan Jingtian was happy in his heart, he had nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get it, haha, he couldn't find the old one, and it was not bad to play with the small one.

Ruan Jingtian let go of his hand, patted Hu Shao's face, and said, "It turned out to be President Hu's nephew, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

Hu Shao thought that Ruan Jingtian had softened, and said proudly: "Count your acquaintance, let your horse accompany me well, and I won't pursue it." ”

Ruan Jingtian said with a smile: "Go back to find your old mother to accompany you" Before he finished speaking, his big hand came to Hu Shao's cheek, and Hu Shao didn't even snort, and lay on the ground.

Ruan Jingtian pulled Li Butterfly and ran out quickly, and at this time, the four followers came to their senses and shouted: "Hu Shao has been beaten, quickly catch those two people." The six hidden warriors in the dance hall all appeared, two ran towards Hu Shao, and four went to chase Ruan Jingtian.

Ruan Jingtian didn't want to make a big deal at this time, after all, his identity was Gong Xiaomu, and someone in the dance hall must know him. He remembered Hu Shao's appearance, and then prepared to wait for the opportunity to follow and see if he could find the place where Hu Qiuyuan's life rested.

He pulled Li Butterfly, a combination of stealth, soft skills, and Xuangang Jue, and the two quickly got rid of the pursuit of those behind them. Ruan Jingtian did not leave Shengmei Business, but came to the quieter guest room area on the fifth floor. He believed that near the gate of Shengmei Commerce, there must be a lot of Hu Shao's bodyguards. He didn't want a large-scale conflict with the Hu family at this time.

Ruan Jingtian planned to open a guest room and hide with Li Butterfly for a while, but the two walked around the fifth floor and did not find the front desk for accommodation, and it turned out that the accommodation registration office was in the lobby on the first floor.

He was a little helpless, opened the door of a guest room, and entered the room with Li Butterfly. The room was dark and there was no one. Ruan Jingtian was about to take a look at the balcony, when he suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor coming towards the room he was in, he couldn't help but secretly sigh, pulled Li Butterfly, and hid behind the curtains.

A man and a woman walked into the room, and as soon as they spoke, Ruan Jingtian's heart jumped: God doesn't play with me like this, how can these two Mai Guoyan. It turned out that the two people who came in were Simmons and Jenny.

Simmons was alert, and as soon as he entered the door, he knew that someone had come, and he quietly pulled out his pistol, gave Gianny a look, and looked around.

It turned out that Li Butterfly had a faint smell of perfume on her body, which was bought by Ruan Jingtian for Li Butterfly, specially for attending such high-end occasions.

When Ruan Jingtian heard that Simmons's breathing was slightly abnormal, he knew that he and Li Butterfly were exposed, after all, it was easy to hide one person, but it was very difficult to hide two people.

Ruan Jingtian was behind the curtain and whispered: "Mr. Simmons, don't be nervous, we are Gong Xiaomu and Mu Qingzi. After speaking, he and Li Butterfly walked out from behind the curtain.

Simmons and Jenny were taken aback, then realized.

"Are you here to avoid Hu Shao?" Simmons asked.

"Yes, it seems that I have made a lot of noise in the ballroom, even you know. Ruan Jingtian had long known that someone in the dance hall must have recognized Gong Xiaomu.

"Kogi-kun, Miss Kiyoko, even if you hide here, we won't betray you. Jenny said, and Simmons nodded repeatedly.

Ruan Jingtian was about to go out with Li Butterfly to pry another room when there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor. This is Hu Shao's people who have searched the fifth floor.

Ruan Jingtian immediately made a decision and said, "Then it's troublesome for the two of you, thank you." After speaking, he pulled Li Butterfly under the bed.

Simmons and Jenny heard footsteps and knew that Hu Shao's people were coming, so they made eye contact and thought about what to do.
