above the point of the knife

Chapter 315 The cruel truth
"Xiaorou..." Seeing Jiang Rou approaching, Qin Lang immediately salivated and smiled like a licking dog.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Rou blushed, she hadn't accepted Qin Lang yet, in fact, she was still testing.

If Qin Lang wants to be with her, there are many levels, not just Zhou Sen, the "big brother".

Therefore, even if Jiang Rou had a little bit of affection for Qin Lang, she didn't dare to give him any illusions easily.

But after all, the two of them have gone through hardships together. If it wasn't for Qin Lang, it would be difficult to say what happened to her after she disappeared that night.

"Eat, what are you dawdling for?" Zhou Sen called out in the restaurant.

"Come on, come on, Xiao Rou, Brother Sen wants us to eat?"

"I heard, are you making my brother angry again?" Jiang Rou asked.

Qin Lang bumped into the sky and called Qu and said: "How dare I make him angry, he just made a face when he saw me today, and took the gunpowder."

"Qin Lang, what are you talking about, I'm not deaf yet!"

"No, I didn't say anything, I'm talking about work with Xiaorou." Qin Lang said hurriedly, for fear of offending Zhou Sen again.

"What kind of work can you and Xiaorou have? Didn't you hand over the work of the new stage to Xiaorou?" Zhou Sen asked back.

"Didn't Xiao Rou just take over the new stage, some things are unclear, so ask me, isn't this against the law?"

"Okay, Komori, I don't see you taking care of the family's business much. Xiaorou just took over and needs a helper. Then Qin Lang is willing to help. Why are you not happy?" Bai Yulan walked away with the support of Aunt Chun come over.

"Okay, let's eat, eat, drink at noon, I haven't eaten a few bites of rice, I'm already hungry by now." Zhou Sen greeted.

Zhou Sen is not used to masters and servants having different tables and dividing people into different classes. As long as they live under the same roof, they are a family, and it is nothing more than a different division of labor.

What's more, this person eats a lot and is lively.

After dinner, Zhou Sen called Qin Lang into the study. For some matters, it is better to find a private environment and talk one-on-one.

"Brother Sen, this woman is called Ni Juan. Qin Xiong met me before marrying my sister-in-law. They are classmates. Qin Xiong went to Japan to study for two years. After returning, he was engaged to Jin Yazhen, but he and this Ni Juan are still married. They come and go in private, but their relationship is still unstoppable. If my sister-in-law-to-be knows what background my sister-in-law is from, how can I tolerate my future husband hooking up with other women, so this Ni Juan's fate was miserable, not only the child in her belly was gone, but also the root cause of her illness, and later, I heard that Qin Xiong gave her a sum of money to settle the matter."

"Is this Ni Juan still in Bingcheng?" Zhou Sen asked.

"She is from Bingcheng, and her parents are still there. Later, I heard that she was married. After that, I don't know..."

"Find her."

"Brother Sen, what do you want her for?" Qin Lang asked.

"Some things, if we can find this Ni Juan, we can have a good chat, and we will be able to clarify." Zhou Sen explained.

"Okay, I'll look for it, but I don't guarantee that she's still in Ice City." Qin Lang said.

"Let's talk about Qin Xiong's two sons. You mentioned to me that these two children were born to Qin Xiong himself, but not from your sister-in-law, is it true?" Zhou Sen asked.

"After Qin Xiong and Jin Yazhen got married, for three years, her stomach didn't move, but my brother once impregnated Ni Juan, and my brother is also a self-disciplined person without any bad habits, so the problem is not on him. , and the problem can only be caused by the elder sister-in-law, he is the eldest son in the family, the old man naturally urged him to give birth to a son and hold a grandson, Jin Yazhen also consulted a doctor and took a lot of conditioning medicine, but it was not ideal..."

"So Qin Xiong went outside to find a woman to give birth to him, and asked Jin Yazhen to cooperate with the fake pregnancy. After the woman outside gave birth to the baby, she would bring it back. It was Jin Yazhen's birth. Anyway, Jin Yazhen couldn't have a baby, and the baby was from the Qin family. right?"

"Brother Sen, how do you know?"

"Jin Yazhen and Qin Xiong must have bribed the maids and midwives around her by doing this, right or wrong?"

"That's right, I only found out about it after I discovered some clues, because although my sister-in-law raised her two children by her side, she didn't look at them like a mother. Scruples, indifference, this is indeed suspicious."

"It seems that you pay attention to details, and you need to promote this point." Zhou Sen nodded. He wanted to hide one thing, but it was easy for outsiders. That's difficult.

Don't you have to be on guard all the time? At that time, Qin Lang was still the second son of the Qin family and Jin Yazhen's brother-in-law.

I believe that even if he knew about this kind of family matter, he wouldn't gossip about it.

"Brother Sen, it's getting late, or else..."

"Good idea, didn't you drive here, drive back by yourself." Zhou Sen sternly refused, not giving this kid the slightest chance.

Qin Lang's face was embarrassing, and he got up to say goodbye.

"Help me make an appointment with Su Wenqing. I'll treat him to dinner tomorrow at noon." Zhou Sen ordered.

……

An old Sheng family store.

It's hard to imagine that the majestic boss of the "Seven Stars Hall" would come to such a small restaurant to eat, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

"The mutton hot pot here is really good, and this authentic hot pot is even better than my own homemade." Su Wenqing praised after eating.

"If it's delicious, go to 'food is the sky' in the future." Zhou Sen chuckled, "I dug the old master who brewed this kind of pot to my winery. From now on, the wine produced by my winery will be the same as This wine is of the same quality."

"Brother Zhou Sen, it's really you who actually poached the master who brewed such good wine?" Su Wenqing was surprised.

"I just gave him a condition he couldn't refuse." Zhou Sen smiled slightly.

"Brother Zhou Sen, when do you plan to hand over this Taipingqiao Casino to me?" Su Wenqing asked.

"When Qin Xiong's new casino opens, I will hand it over. What do you think?" Zhou Sen smiled slightly.

"really?"

"Of course, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't count."

"Okay, then it's settled. Qin Xiong's new casino is scheduled to open on the first day of next month. How about we hand it over on the first day and announce it the next day?" Su Wenqing said.

"Yes, but President Su, have you thought about how to compete with Qin Xiong after his new casino opens?" Zhou Sen asked with a slight smile.

"I've thought of some preferential plans for gamblers and new customers, but none of them are satisfactory. I can think of them, and Qin Xiong probably can think of them too. By then, his new casino's discounts will definitely be very strong. , as long as he doesn't lose money, he can fight with me, so I won't be able to guarantee the shareholders' profits." Su Wenqing said with a headache.

"Qin Xiong's new casino, the people behind him are probably all shareholders. They are not only the shareholders of Taipingqiao Gambling House, but also the shareholders of the new casino. No matter who wins or loses, they are the ones who are sure to make money. .” Zhou Sen said.

"Brother Zhou Sen, what can you do?"

"In opening a casino, in addition to the services of the casino, there are also gameplay and odds. As long as the gameplay is new enough and the odds are high enough, gamblers can win money, which will naturally attract more gamblers. There is also the humanitarian care of the casino. The gambler can't leave with all his losses, no matter how much he loses, at least leave him [-]% of the gambling money, and he is not allowed to step into the casino again within a day."

"Isn't this driving guests out?"

"How many bad gamblers are there and how much money do they have in the casino every day? Some even let the casino borrow their gambling books. This will not have much impact on the casino, at least it will improve its reputation." Zhou Sen said, "Even if Qin Xiong learns with him, he is plagiarizing us."

"You can try it."

"Improve the service level and types of VIP guests. For example, if you exchange 1000 yuan of chips at a time, you can arrange special service. In addition, drinks are free for the night, etc. What we need are high-quality guests, the kind of gamblers who can't get it back, Just go to Qin Xiong's casino."

"Well, that makes sense."

"I can also give you a joint operation of the Ice City Racecourse, selling betting tickets and redeeming prizes. The proceeds can be halved..."

"Everything can be gambled, it depends on what Chairman Su thinks."

"It's still you young people with flexible minds. Listening to brother Zhou Sen's words has given me a lot of inspiration. I believe that we will not lose if we compete with Qin Xiong's new casino."

"It's President Su, not me." Zhou Sen corrected.

"Haha..." Su Wenqing laughed loudly, "Come on, Brother Zhou Sen, Brother Yu, I would like to toast you."

……

Under the setting sun, a woman was sitting by the window, looking blankly at the afterglow outside the window, she was Xiao Yuehong.

I have lived in this small building for more than a month.

She doesn't have to worry about food and lodging, and even in order to relieve her loneliness, she has a phonograph record player in the bedroom. She has many rare records on the market here.

It's just that she can't be happy, she is a bird in a cage now, and she can't fly out even if she wants to.

Regret, no use.

It was already like this, the man's ruthlessness broke her heart, but there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart to speak out.

Hey……

There were footsteps on the stairs outside the door, a little heavy, not like the old woman who took care of her, but she didn't notice it.

until the door was knocked.

Xiao Yuehong was woken up with a start, she turned her head in surprise, and after confirming that it was the sound of her own door, she stood up slowly and walked over to open the door.

When Xiao Yuehong saw the face of the visitor, she subconsciously revealed a hint of surprise and fear.

Of course she knew someone.

It was this person who ruined her future, her life and future. She was cruel in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it.

Because she was afraid, everything about her was under the control of the other party.

"Are you surprised to see me?" Zhou Sen asked indifferently. From Xiao Yuehong's eyes, he could tell that she didn't realize her mistake, and even regarded her as an enemy in her heart.

There are a few of such selfish women who are sensible, and she will only blame others for her misfortune.

She was not wrong, everything was caused by others.
