above the point of the knife

Chapter 433
These days, Qin Lang spends the morning on "food is the sky", and after noon, at three or four in the afternoon, he comes to Taipingqiao Casino.

Since he agreed to Su Wenqing and received double his salary, he naturally wanted to be the general manager well, and he also had to lead the team and choose someone to replace him.

In fact, after he got used to being a decent person, he was really tired of his former self. At least ordinary people would not keep him away from his current self.

This feeling of popularity and respect cannot be bought with money.

"Brother Lang, everything has been arranged for today. Last night, the guest at table 5 got drunk and made a fuss for half the night. Fortunately, I persuaded him to go..."

"Anything that stays on the line, we run casinos, so we have to be humane, otherwise, this business won't last long."

"Yes, you are right. The word-of-mouth and service of our gambling house are all first-class. There are more customers now than before. This is the profit..."

"It's caused by the general environment, not our business strategy. If you don't believe me, you can make statistics. Is the average money we make from each customer much less than before? Also, the customers who borrow money from the counter Did you borrow less every time than in the past?" Qin Lang said.

"What does it matter?"

"You can only come to the casino to spend if you can earn money and be able to pay back the money. If you can't earn money, you can't pay it back. Will you still come? Even if you lend him the money, he won't be able to pay it back. You borrowed it." What's the use?" Qin Lang said, "Remember, we are seeking money and not hurting people's lives. This is the bottom line principle, understand?"

"Understand, understand." The subordinates nodded and bowed. Although Qin Lang and Feng Hua had completely different management styles when they were there, especially in terms of money lending and Cui loans, the methods were more gentle. The business of the gambling house was naturally much better than when Feng Hua was there. .

And the old gamblers are more convinced of Qin Lang's reputation.

Therefore, many gamblers from the New Taiping Bridge Gambling Shop have returned. In just half a month, the business of the casino has improved by at least [-]%.

This is the skill, no matter how dissatisfied Feng Hua's subordinates are, they still have to be convinced.

"Brother Lang, a man who calls himself Uncle Tai wants to see you." An errand runner knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Uncle Tai?" Qin Lang was taken aback, among the people he knew, there was only one person named "Uncle Tai".

That is the old housekeeper who the old man served.

What is he doing here when he has nothing to do? Could it be that the old man is dying?

Although Qin Lang turned against Qin Laoqi and Qin Xiong, it was not that he didn't pay attention to the situation of the Qin family, he didn't really care about it, but that he knew the father and son too well, and he was afraid that he wouldn't feel good about himself, so he had to be on his guard. Son.

The old man is not in good health, it is said that he will not be able to survive this winter, and he is also worried. If the old man leaves, will he go back and kowtow, or not?
Although the father and son did not have an overnight feud, he has long been chilled by how the old man treated their mother and son.

What's more, how many outrageous things this old man has done, he can live to this age, I don't know how much virtue he has accumulated in his previous life.

Of course, the son doesn't say anything about the father's mistakes. As a son, he can only think about some things, but he can't say them out.

"Invite him to come in." After thinking about it, it's not a problem to avoid it. If something really happened, the one who should come will still come.

After a while, Uncle Tai came in.

"Second Young Master, Seventh Master is dying. He told me to come and invite you back to see him one last time." Uncle Tai said when he saw Qin Lang.

Although Qin Lang had already guessed this situation, he did not have any emotional fluctuations, but asked, "Did he ask you to come?"

Uncle Tai hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Master Qi is already out of his mind, but he is still chanting the name of Second Young Master."

"Does the boss know you're coming?" Qin Lang was silent for three seconds before asking.

"The eldest son knows."

"Okay, you go back first, he probably won't die in a while, I will go back before he closes his eyes." Qin Lang said.

"Second Young Master, you'd better go back as soon as possible." Uncle Tai reminded, although Qin Lao Qi was already dying, but he really wouldn't die so soon.

"Understood, see off."

Qin Lang was a little confused. Although he was prepared for the news, he didn't have a definite answer in his heart about whether he should go back to see him for the last time.

"Brother Lang..."

"Get out!" Qin Lang directly pointed at the person and shouted, he wanted to be quiet at this moment.

He really wanted to talk to someone about his inner helplessness. Many times, people who look strong on the outside are actually fragile on the inside.

Qin Lang is a tough guy on the outside, but in fact he is weak inside. Many people have misunderstood this point.

It's just that he wrapped himself up so well that no one could see it.

Dilingling...

The office phone rang, but Qin Lang just sat there and didn't reach out to answer it until the phone stopped ringing.

After a while, the phone rang again.

Qin Lang still didn't move at all, I don't know if he didn't hear it, or he just didn't want to pick it up.

Until the third sound, Qin Lang still didn't pick it up...

Qin Lang locked himself in the office, neither coming out nor letting people in, obviously it was really hard to make a decision in his heart.

The intertwined love and hate here are not understood by people who are not in their shoes.

"Miss Xiangning, why are you here?"

"Where's Qin Lang?"

"Brother Lang is in the office. It has been more than an hour since he locked himself in alone?"

"What's the matter?" Jiang Rou frowned, she didn't answer the three phone calls, so she ran over to have a look.

"It seems that something happened to Qin Qiye."

"His father?" Jiang Rou understood that Qin Lang must have encountered something difficult to solve, so he locked himself up, and didn't even answer her calls, of course, not including her, he didn't want anyone's calls pick it up.

"Take me there." Jiang Rou ordered, she never came to the gambling house, so naturally she didn't know where Qin Lang's office was.

"Miss Xiangning, come with me."

The office was locked, Qin Lang really didn't want anyone to disturb him, but when he heard that Jiang Rou was outside, he opened the door.

"Xiaorou, why are you here?" Qin Lang asked in surprise.

"I called your office three times, but no one answered. I thought something happened to you, so I hurried over to have a look." Jiang Rou explained.

"Did you call me?" Qin Lang asked in surprise.

"Your subordinate said that you were in the office all the time, didn't you hear?" Jiang Rou thought she had heard wrong, and Qin Lang was not deaf.

"Maybe I was too focused on some things, so I didn't pay attention..." Qin Lang smiled coyly, he really didn't notice the ringing of the phone, his mind was full of thoughts about whether he should go to see Qin Lao Qi.

"What's wrong with you, you look so bad?" Jiang Rou asked.

"It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

"Don't lie to me, did something happen to Qin Qiye?" Jiang Rou directly pointed out, "You want to go back and take a look, but you can't pass the test in your heart, right?"

"How did you know?"

"Your subordinates are not deaf or blind. What's your situation? Can they not see or hear?" Jiang Ju said.

"Why did they tell you this..." Qin Lang was displeased.

"What do you blame them for? They also care about you." Jiang Judao said, "Is Master Qin Qi not very well?"

Qin Lang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I'll accompany you back." Jiang Rou said directly without making too much sense.

"Xiaorou, you are..." Qin Lang was astonished.

"Since you can't make a decision, I'll help you. Whether you regret it or not, this decision has nothing to do with you." Jiang Judao.

"No, this is my business, how can I get you involved?" Qin Lang was very moved, but he didn't want Jiang Rou to get involved in the Qin family's housework.

"How should I put it, we are also friends. If friends have something to do, shouldn't it be right to help each other?" Jiang Judao.

"But you know, you go back with me, what does that mean?"

"Do you think that I will go back with you to meet the parents?" Jiang Rou smiled slightly.

Qin Lang nodded.

This Qin Laoqi is now on his deathbed, so he took Jiang Rou back at this time, wouldn't that mean something?

Otherwise, at this moment, he could take any girl to see his father for the last time.

"Don't you want to?" Jiang Rou asked back.

"I, I..." Qin Lang suddenly felt an unspeakable joy and emotion filling his entire chest.

At this moment, all anxiety and worries disappeared.

"Let's go."

"Xiao Rou, did you call me for something?"

"Sister Lan said, you haven't eaten at home for a long time, let me call you home for dinner." Jiang Rou explained.

"Oh, that's right, then tonight is probably..."

"It's okay, it's a matter of having more opportunities to go home for dinner." Jiang Rou smiled softly, "Let's go to your house as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll drive." Qin Lang nodded.

……

At dinner in the evening, Zhou Sen took a look, but he didn't see Jiang Rou, and asked, "What's the matter, Xiao Rou didn't come back?"

Bai Yulan chuckled: "I called back and said that he and Qin Lang went to the Qin family's old house."

"Qin's old house, Qin Lao Qi is dead?" Zhou Sen couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, there was only one reason why Qin Lang could take the initiative to go to Qin's old house.

In the entire Qin family, the only one who has a direct blood relationship with him is the old man Qin Laoqi.

Qin Laoqi's health was not good in the first place, so it's not surprising that he left suddenly that day.So there is no need to guess at all, you can figure it out.

"Xiaorou didn't say anything, maybe it's not easy to say." Bai Yulan said.

"Leave some food for them." Zhou Sen ordered.

"It's been left."

"Let's eat then." Zhou Sen greeted.

"Are you worried that the two of them will have conflicts with Qin Xiong in the past?" After dinner, Bai Yulan went into the study with a glass of water.

"With Xiao Rou following, I'm not too worried about this, I'm afraid that Qin Xiong will make a fuss." Zhou Sen said.

"Well, but you just sealed up the Qunfang Building, the relationship between Qin Lang and us, if there is a quarrel, maybe something will happen." Bai Yulan said.

"If I knew they were going there, I should have sent someone to follow," Zhou Sen said.

"In the final analysis, they are brothers. At this time, they shouldn't be able to do anything against their younger brother, let alone Xiao Rou is here?"

"If Qin Xiong dares to touch Xiaorou, I will do my best to take down the Qin family!" A dangerous cold light flashed in Zhou Sen's eyes.

"No, don't worry too much, why don't you send someone to guard outside the Qin family's old house?" Bai Yulan said.

"Well, let me make a call and ask Boss Qing to send two people there." Zhou Sen nodded. This is a private matter, and the police cannot be used, only the power and manpower of the gang.

……

Qin's old house.

Qin Lao Qi really couldn't hide this time, although he used ginseng soup to hang his life, but he had already reached the point where the lamp was exhausted.

There was only one breath left.

Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, at this point, they are already powerless.

But the old man just couldn't swallow this tone, obviously there was something he couldn't let go, until Qin Lang brought Jiang Rou back to the old house.

Qin Laoqi, who was lying on the warm kang, heard Qin Lang's voice, and slowly opened his sunken eye sockets, the vitreous body was already cloudy, and he could only see a little bit of light, and a blurry figure.

"Long..."

"Father, I'm Qin Lang, what do you have to say." Qin Lang hesitated for a long time, and finally called out.

Even if he didn't admit it, he couldn't change this fact. Besides, he had been barking for more than [-] years, and this sound was very familiar to him.

"Lang, father..." Qin Lao Qi opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice was very low, Qin Lang could only bend down and put his ear close to him.

There is a saying that when a person is about to die, his words are also good.

After all, Qin Lao Qi regretted the severance of his father-son relationship with Qin Lang. Apart from wanting to see Qin Lang before he died, he also left a sum of money for Qin Lang.

The money was deposited in Qin Lang's mother's name, only Qin Lao Qi knew about it, and no one else, including Qin Xiong and the five concubines, knew about it.

If Qin Lang doesn't come back with this money, it will definitely not fall into his hands when the time comes, but if he comes back, the money will naturally belong to him.

Because this was handed over to Qin Lang by Qin Laoqi before his death, and it was the personal money saved by Qin Lang's mother, which was reserved for Qin Lang to marry a wife and have children when he grew up.

Qin Laoqi felt guilty towards Qin Lang, the second son, and added some more, the amount was not small.

Qin Lang knew that after receiving the money, he would have no reason to compete with Qin Xiong for the family property. In fact, he never thought of competing. In his opinion, the Qin family's business is not a legitimate business. It's just a matter of rise and fall. He might have had an idea before, but now he doesn't have that idea at all.

The old man was still thinking about Qin Xiong before he died, fearing that after his death, he would come to Qin Xiong and make a big fuss.

"He gave it, do you want to take it back?" Qin Lang handed the deposit voucher to Qin Xiong and Jin Yazhen who were outside.

Qin Xiong looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"If you don't take it back, then the money will belong to me, don't you regret it in the future?" Qin Lang said and was about to put away the voucher.

"Since it was left to you by father, it belongs to you. Although I don't get along with you, it's not enough to take it by force." Qin Xiong said with a livid face.

"It's rare to hear you say something human." Qin Lang said, "I saw him too. I don't know how long he can last this breath. Anyway, you don't welcome me, so I will leave first. I will inform you when I die. I."

"Can't you see dad off for the last ride?" Qin Xiong questioned with the veins on his neck showing.

"Do I still have a place in this family?"

Qin Xiong clenched his fists and was about to explode when a cry came from inside: "Master, master, wake up..."

The rampant Ice City Qin Qiye finally finished his life.
