above the point of the knife

Chapter 138 Burial
Wenchang Bridge·Su House.

Inside the study.

Su Wenqing has finally calmed down these few days. After he went to the Ningxiang Pavilion to apologize and make amends, any property under his name will be as usual.

He was afraid that even if he bowed his head, Saburo Shibuya would not let him go. Now it seems that this Japanese is quite trustworthy.

"Master, the Wen family let go, but the asking price is not low." Su Xing knocked on the door and walked into the study, reporting to Su Wenqinghui.

"How many?"

"50."

Su Wenqing closed his eyes and thought about it. 50 is indeed high. The entire new stage is actually worth a million or so. If the premium is doubled, it is only 200 million, and [-] shares is already considered a high price.

If you don't have a hot Xiao Xiangning, let alone [-] shares, even [-] shares would be the best.

"The Ruiqing class that Xiao Xiangning is in hasn't signed a reservation agreement with the new stage, has it?" Su Wenqing asked.

"It is said that there is not yet. Moreover, there is also a conflict within the Ruiqing class. I found out that there was already a conflict between Xiao Xiangning and Sun Qingkui, the head of the Ruiqing class. This time, she signed a reservation agreement with the new stage. Boss Tang's conditions are very harsh, especially there are some terms for Xiao Xiangning herself, Xiao Xiangning is naturally unwilling, but Sun Qingkui seems to have reached a private agreement with Tang Peiyuan..."

"Could this Tang Peiyuan have a crush on Xiao Xiangning?" Su Wenqing asked. He knew that they were all celebrities in the ice city and directors of the chamber of commerce.

"Some rumors say yes, if Sun Qingkui switches to another stage, he will definitely offend Tang Peiyuan, and other stages will not give Tang Peiyuan resources..."

"Where is Bai Yulan, what's going on?"

"This is exactly what I want to report to you, Master." Su Xing said, "Boss Bai also contacted Tang Peiyuan, but Tang Peiyuan directly rejected him. Afterwards, they never had contact again."

"Oh?"

"But I heard a piece of news about Qin Lang, the second young master of the Qin family. He has been getting closer to the young nephew of the Tang family recently. Tang Shaoqing has done some shady things behind his back. Moreover, in this Tang Shaoqing's hands And the three percent stake in the new stage that he inherited from his father."

"Qin Lang got mixed up with Zhou Sen. He won't befriend Tang Shaoqing for no reason. It must be because of the [-]% stake in the new stage." Su Wenqing analyzed.

"I guess so. It seems that Boss Bai is not only looking for you, but also has other arrangements." Su Xing nodded in agreement.

"Bai Yulan wants to enter the new stage, and the Qin family and I join the fight to stop her. This is reasonable, but wouldn't the acquisition cost increase in this way?"

"No, Bai Yulan must have a way to lower the price. Now that I'm buying it, I'm paying for it myself, and Qin Lang won't be so stupid. The accident must be in the Ruiqing class!" Su Wenqing asserted.

"Master, you mean that there will be changes in the cooperation between the Ruiqing class and the new stage?" Su Xing asked in surprise.

"That's for sure. Once the Ruiqing class does not sign a contract with the new stage, is it possible for the shares of the new stage to sell at a high price?" Su Wenqing said, "The person who is popular in one hand abandons it and turns to others. Still optimistic about the new stage?"

"Then how will Boss Bai explain?"

"What are you explaining? Bai Yulan didn't give us a time limit. As long as we get things done before the election meeting of the chamber of commerce, there will be no problem." Su Wenqing snorted coldly.

……

New stage and backstage.

Jiang Rou's exclusive dressing room.

"Father, you want to convert the agreement signed with you by me, senior brother and others into an agreement with the troupe, don't you just want to buy the troupe to Boss Tang at a high price." Jiang Rou's attitude is very strong, "It's not that the foster father wants to change the agreement Yes, but since you want to sell us to Boss Tang, do we need to adjust some clauses in the agreement, as well as compensation. "

"Xiaorou, are you crazy? I raised you up and taught you all kinds of skills. Is this how you repay me?" Sun Qingkui was furious.

"It was you who wanted to sell us and exchange for a sum of money, and put aside our relationship from now on, but now you say that we are ruthless. If you don't sell the theater troupe, we will continue to follow you and give you old age until the end of your life. But if you are determined to sell the troupe and take the money to retire on your own, then don't blame us for not remembering our friendship over the years!" Jiang Rou said.

"Xiaorou, otherwise, after you switch the agreement with me, and I sell the Ruiqing troupe to Boss Tang, you will be the troupe leader. From now on, you will be the one who decides about the troupe, okay?"

"It's okay to transfer the agreement, the previously signed content needs to be changed, there is compensation, and the freedom to choose to withdraw." Jiang Rou insisted.

"No, you must not quit." Sun Qingkui said, "You are a pillar. If you quit, Boss Tang will not buy Ruiqing Class."

"Father, what is Boss Tang's intention in buying the Ruiqing class? You know in your heart that if this is the case, why are you making things difficult for Xiaorou?" How can the core interests be compromised.

"Xiao Rou, what's wrong with Boss Tang? You follow him, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Is that better than anything else?"

"You know that Boss Tang's family has a wife and a concubine, if I follow him, what's the point?" Jiang Rou said angrily.

"Women always want to marry. As long as they marry well, why should they care how many women he has..."

"Father, I won't wrong myself. If you want to change the agreement, you can do it according to my conditions, or you won't talk about it!" Jiang Rou insisted.

"Jiang Rou, don't forget, you were raised by me, and I am your adoptive father, if you dare not listen to me, you are disobedient and unfilial!"

"You're going to sell me. If I don't want to, I will be disobedient and unfilial. If you are my biological parents, I may not be able to refute them, but you are just my adoptive father. Do you have the right to say that about me?" Jiang Rou asked loudly.

"You, you are simply unreasonable..." Sun Qingkui's old face was flushed with anger.

Once again broke up.

Regarding the exchange of agreements, Sun Qingkui has come to Jiang Rou three times, and in the first two times, he was still able to speak soft words.

This time, he had already lost his patience. Tang Peiyuan knew that what he signed with Jiang Rou was a separate agreement and had nothing to do with Ruiqing class, so he immediately lowered the price and forced Sun Qingkui to exchange the agreement. Otherwise, not only would he not buy Ruiqing For the celebration class, even the reservation agreement is no longer considered.

This made Sun Qingkui very anxious. Without such a sum of money, how could he buy a house in Bingcheng for the elderly?
While he wanted to sell the Ruiqing class and Jiang Rou for a good price, he also wanted to let Jiang Rou continue to provide for him in the old age. Therefore, while changing the agreement, he also dreamed of getting two agreements, one with Ruiqing class and one with Ruiqing class. One is with him.

But Jiang Rou is not stupid, she won't suck blood for this kind of person again, so she directly refused, and asked to change the agreement by herself.

The differences between the two are too great, one is demanding too much, almost to the point of sucking the marrow, while the other wants to make a complete break and get rid of this squeezed and exploited relationship.

There is also a Boss Tang who is greedy for beauty and insatiable.

Under the three-way wrestling.

Things just got stalemate like this.

……

Yaojing Street, Consulate General of Soviet Russia.

Poporov, the director of the Licensing Department, took a rolled up newspaper in his hand, walked upstairs quickly, and knocked on the door of the office of the Deputy Consul General Alman.

"Today's newspaper, this obituary, Comrade Arman, have you read it?" Poporov asked excitedly.

"I've seen it. This is a conspiracy set up by the Japanese." Arman nodded seriously.

"Do we have to wait any longer? If this continues, we will be completely passive." Poporov said.

"What did the messenger say?"

"The messenger said that although he trusts her very much, he always chooses to deliberately avoid certain issues, and there are many things that she can't say unless she reveals her identity. Once she reveals her identity, there is no room for maneuver." Poporov said.

"The messenger is what we asked the CCP to cooperate with us in our actions. Since she has already contacted the target and gained some trust, as long as she is by his side, we can get some information. This is beneficial to us. It is better not to reveal her identity for the time being. "

"What if the person who contacted us is really him?"

"Can you guarantee that the Japanese are not only closely monitoring him, but he is surrounded by Japanese people. Once a stranger approaches, he will be investigated." Alman said, "That's why I want to request The reason for the CCP’s assistance.”

"Why does the higher-ups want us to establish contact with the target? He doesn't have much effect on our intelligence work in Ice City?"

"If he is a useless person, why do the Japanese monitor and protect his safety?" Alman said, "Do you think the Japanese are full?"

"Comrade Arman, I think you have something to hide from me."

"Comrade Poporov, you are an excellent intelligence worker, you should know what is stipulated in the secrecy regulations."

"Yes, I understand." Poporov said awkwardly.

……

According to the rules of the Orthodox Church, Zhou Sen held a solemn and simple farewell ceremony for Father Anthony in the Dormition Church.

In addition to relatives such as Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan, friends and subordinates whom Anthony had known during his lifetime also came.

Even Rozaevsky and his assistant Migunov came.

Anna represents Saburo Shibuya and the Japanese secret service, while Front dare not appear in public, because his identity as a "traitor" is too dangerous.

He may be killed by the Soviet Russian agents lurking in the ice city at any time.

After the farewell ceremony, it was the burial. Zhou Sen had already ordered the coffin, only the ashes and some clothes.

In fact, the ashes are all fake, this is a clothes grave.

But something is better than nothing.

The church has a dedicated person in charge of funeral affairs. Once you pay the money, they can help the family members to take care of everything without you needing to worry about it.

Zhou Sen is not an Orthodox Christian, so he can only spend money to find someone to handle it.

When the Russians were buried, the inner and outer coffins were poured with cement and filled with soil. There was no need to build a tomb, it was slightly higher than the flat ground, just tamped it down, and then erected a tombstone.

After everything was settled, the guests also dispersed, leaving only Zhou Sen, Bai Yulan, Anna and others staying in the cemetery.
