Chapter 77 News from the deceased

Jiang Rou (Xiao Xiangning)'s performance on the new stage was very successful. She took the stage for three consecutive days and performed "Flowers and Matchmakers", "Qin Xianglian", "Du Shiniang" and "Shooting the Camel Dragon", which people in Bingcheng talked about most. "(If you don't understand, you can Baidu it, ha).

The venue was full and tickets were hard to come by.

The forced new stage had to sell additional standing tickets, earning a lot of money, and the boss's face was flushed with excitement almost every day. .

Under the fire, Xiao Xiangning's reputation naturally spread, and the newspapers also made detailed reports on this famous Pingju actor from Guannei, especially the honors she received for performing on stage in cities such as Beiping and Fengtian.

And this Xiao Xiangning is still a native of Songjiang, but when she was very young, she went to Guannei with the theater troupe to seek a living.

Finally, now he is successful in his studies and has returned with a reputation.

The new stage is not owned by the Ruiqing troupe either. After performing for three days in a row, it's time to take a break.

You know, when the business is good, they perform from morning to night.

"Godfather, rest tomorrow, I want to go out?"

"You want to find the little wolf cub again?" Sun Qingkui smoked the dry cigarette, pattering, pattering, and said displeasedly, "I told you earlier, that little wolf cub was disobedient and died a long time ago. If he is still alive, why don't you come looking for him?" you?"

"You said he was a wolf cub, how could he die so easily?" Jiang Rou said calmly. She didn't hate Sun Qingkui much, but she didn't feel much gratitude either. This is inseparable from her hard work the day after tomorrow.

She was not the only child Sun Qingkui adopted. He sold all the unqualified and unpromising children.

Like her, she is just a cash cow in his hands.

Jiang Rou really wanted to leave, not to mention Sun Qingkui, no one could stop her, and the contract of selling her body couldn't trap a famous actor like her at all.

"Okay, I can't persuade you, let Xiaolou go with you, and you two will be taken care of together." Sun Qingkui had a bitter face, of course he wanted to hold Jiang Rou, the cash cow, in his hands, but She is not a little girl now, and she has more experience, how can she let her be at her mercy?

"Senior brother is so busy, so I don't need it. It's not that I don't know the way." Jiang Rou declined politely.

"There are many thieves in Ice City. You are a young and beautiful girl. It is not safe to be alone." Sun Qingkui reminded.

"When I was in Beiping, I also went to the streets alone, and there was no problem." Jiang Rou pushed back.

"Can that be the same?"

"Godfather, are you worried that I'll never come back?" Jiang Rou turned around and asked with an unhappy face.

Sun Qingkui smiled awkwardly. He was a little afraid of Jiang Rou, and he was really embarrassed to be told about his thoughts. Jiang Rou, a cash cow, he didn't want to lose no matter what.

"Godfather, I promised to help you gain a firm foothold in the ice city, so I won't break my promise," Jiang Judao said.

"Xiao Rou, godfather is not worried about your safety. After all, we haven't come back for more than ten years. The people and things here are not so familiar."

"Don't worry, godfather, I know how to protect myself." Jiang Rou got up and said, "Godfather, it's getting late, I should rest."

"Oh, good, good..." Sun Qingkui glanced at Jiang Rou's figure, suppressed the only evil thought in his heart, and left quickly.

……

Zhou Sen didn't go to the Ningxiang Pavilion for the past two days, mainly because he had a lot of trivial things at hand, so he pulled a phone line.

Installing the phone, for which he must be present.

The exercise equipment he ordered also arrived one after another. Some of them needed to be installed by workers, especially the sandbags, and the beams needed to be reinforced.

The wooden dummy still needs to wait, but a place has been reserved.

Zhou Sen also cleared out some of the original unused space, and set up a ring similar to a martial arts competition.

Jin Suying comes every day, comes, and doesn't leave once she comes, she stays here.

Seeing that Zhou Sen was relocating in the warehouse and getting exercise equipment, he was naturally curious why he suddenly became interested in exercise.

Zhou Sen didn't explain either.

Out of curiosity, Jin Suying investigated and analyzed it by herself.

The relationship between Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan in the Ningxiang Hall is not a secret, but those who know know it, and those who don't know don't know it.

Jin Suying naturally knew.

She looked up Bai Yulan's past, and then constructed it in her mind. Zhou Sen's current weird behavior was probably all to curry favor with Bai Yulan.

Bai Yulan was born into a family of military generals in the Qing Dynasty. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child. How good her martial arts skills are? This is not a good judgment, but it is normal for people born in such a family to like men with a "royal and heroic" style.

Bai Yulan's late husband Lao Ma was like this.

This week Sen put all his attention on another woman, Jin Suying couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart, thinking about his flattery to her in the past, it was also in line with his usual style, not surprising.

Not only Jin Suying, but even Gu Laoliu, who knew a little about the situation, thought so. He didn't have that much insight.

Who Zhou Sen likes and who he is close to this week is his private matter, and he didn't spend other people's money. Besides, this matter will come true.

Su Wenqing and Qin Laoqi, a bigwig in the business world and another bigwig, competed for a woman, and finally lost to a little-known little policeman.

That is legendary enough.

"Secretary Jin, you are Mr. Qiushan's special assistant, what do you mean by coming here and staring at me every day?" Zhou Sen really didn't want to see Jin Suying in front of him.

"Mr. Akiyama instructed that I need to cooperate fully before you are familiar with the work of super high stocks." Jin Suying said.

"I've read all the information and documents you gave me. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll just ask you again."

"Isn't it convenient for you to ask." Jin Suying smiled, "It saves you from running around and wasting time on the way back and forth."

"Forget it, do whatever you like." Zhou Sen had no choice but to wait for this kind of person who couldn't be chased away, who couldn't be beaten or scolded, and left by himself.

"Boss, what do we have for lunch today..." Gu Lao Liu opened the door and came in. When he saw Zhou Sen, he asked naturally.

"Let's bake the sweet potatoes, dip them in some salt, or dip them in soy sauce if you want." Zhou Sen glanced at Jin Suying beside him and said.

"Hey, I'm eating roasted sweet potatoes again." Gu Lao Liu sighed. Since Jin Suying came here, they either eat roasted sweet potatoes or baked potatoes at noon, or sorghum rice and sour cabbage soup. There is no trace of the soup. Oily.

That's it, it's better to go to the cafeteria of the police station to eat, at least, this New Year's Eve can still be a little oily.

However, Zhou Sen can't stay with Jin Suying, he can only stay and eat together.

"Then stir-fry some more soybeans. Looking at how you've lived this year, you've gained at least two or three catties. You need to scrape off the oil and cleanse your stomach." Zhou Sen squinted.

When Gu Lao Liu heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry, how could he have gained two or three catties? They have been constipated for several days?

He also knew that as long as Jin Suying was around, they would not have a good day. This woman used to ignore her boss, but now she stalks her boss. I have never seen anything like this.

Jin Suying also knew that Zhou Sen used this trick to force her to leave, but she was really on the hook, it was just eating roasted sweet potatoes, who has never suffered, let's see who can't bear it first.

Another two days passed in a flash.

Jin Suying found that the time she spent going to the bathroom became longer, and she was prone to hypocrisy...

The recruitment advertisement that Ye San'er had published in the newspaper finally got people to apply for it, but few of them met Zhou Sen's requirements.

They were planning to be apprentices, and there were two very clever seedlings. He asked Wu En to lead them to Axiang.

Now I do odd jobs in the Ningxiang Pavilion.

It is difficult to recruit good pastry chefs. Those who have good skills must either do it themselves or have been poached by high salaries.

Therefore, trying to recruit a pastry chef who meets his requirements through recruitment is really like finding a needle in a haystack.

……

"He's looking for a pastry chef?"

"Yes, he is also recruiting apprentices at the same time. Moreover, he has registered a company called 'Sen' Ji. He should plan to open a pastry shop with Bai Yulan from Ningxiang Restaurant." Jin Suying has been in the warehouse for the past few days. Rewarding.

Reported the relevant situation to Akiyama nosuke.

"Does he want to go into business?"

"I don't know, but he mortgaged all the shares in the company that Anthony left to him to the bank. With such a large amount of money, he can't sit still. So, besides helping Bai Yulan, he probably has his own ideas." Jin Suying analyzed road.

"Is his attitude towards you still the same?" Akiyama asked.

"Almost, Mr. Akiyama, how long do we need to observe?" Jin Suying was also curious about what secrets Zhou Sen had that deserved Akiyama's attention.

"Soon." Akiyama nosuke said, "You have to pay attention to the people around him, especially the new ones."

"You mean, there will be someone else who will take advantage of him?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

……

"The messenger hasn't acted yet, do you want our help?" Arman called Poporov into the office and asked.

Poporov shook his head: "For comrades in China, we can only assist us in our work by request, and cannot order."

"Can you urge me a little more?"

"I'll find a way to meet her again." Poporov thought for a moment.

"As soon as possible, the Japanese base camp has formulated a subversive plan to design our Far East region, code-named: Spring of the Far East. This plan is likely to be related to the people we are concerned about. We must immediately understand and grasp relevant information." Alman urged.

"Yes, Mr. Arman, I will try my best." Poporov promised.

……

Pao Team Street, "Fu" Kee grocery store.

"Comrade Poporov, I'm already thinking of a way, why can't I go directly to the door?" Jiang Judao.

"Need our help?"

"If he knows that I'm back in Ice City and still remembers me, he will definitely come to see me." Jiang Rou said with certainty.

"Then how can we let her know?" Poporov said.

"There are many ways to know, such as through newspapers, or other people's conversations, introductions, etc., but it can't be too deliberate." Jiang Rou thought for a while and said.

"Your performance was a sensation in Ice City. I believe he should have heard of it, but if you wait passively, how long will it take? Otherwise, how about I arrange for you to have a chance encounter?" Poporov thought for a while.

"Don't do that, it will alarm the Japanese around him, and I found someone around him, I don't know whether to follow and monitor or covertly protect." Jiang Rou said.

……

In fact, Zhou Sen also knew that Jiang Rou had returned to Ice City, such a sensational performance, and such a large-page introduction in the newspaper.

He is not blind, how can he not see.

It's just that more than ten years have passed, many people and things have changed, and things have changed. Does she still remember her little friend who was sold to the troupe together?

More importantly, they are people from two different worlds now, and this Zhou Sen just inherited the memory of his original body.

The best thing to do is not to disturb her, so as not to cause trouble and danger to her.
