20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 314 Follow me like a shadow

In the north of Liaoyang City, there is Shanfang Hall.

Jiang Lian dusted off his black gown, sat down at the tea table where guests were waiting, and played with the gilt pocket watch in his hand.

The clerk at the drug store served tea enthusiastically.

The collapse of the Shuanglong Society is coming to an end, and all the lost medicinal materials from Shanfangtang have been shipped back. Naturally, the shopkeeper Liang Bolin is in a good mood.

He wore a maroon top as usual, sat down next to Jiang Lianheng with a smile, and gave a thumbs up.

"Haha, Boss Jiang, it's high! It's really high!"

"Don't rush to praise me yet!" Jiang Lianheng waved his hand calmly, "Although I have found the medicinal materials for you, the delay insurance has not been calculated yet!"

Liang Bolin hurriedly laughed and said: "Boss Jiang, are you going to kill me? We have found all the medicinal materials, so why not delay the insurance? We are all fellow villagers, let's not talk about that!"

Zhao Zhengbei stood aside and sneered: "Shopkeeper Liang, your face has changed so quickly! Why have you suddenly become generous?"

Liang Bolin explained awkwardly: "Brother, you can't say that. Didn't I find the medicinal materials before? Of course I have to think about getting my money back. Now that I have the medicinal materials, why do you, fellow villagers, have such a quarrel? "

"Tsk—" Zhao Zhengbei showed disdain.

In the final analysis, it was because he saw the Jiang family's skills and connections that he forced the old miser to admit that he was unlucky.

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Lianheng interrupted the useless wrangling, "Shopkeeper Liang, when I do business, credibility is the most important word. We can't just let this matter go."

"No, no, no, really no!" Liang Bolin hurriedly declined, "My business hasn't been affected much these days, so let's just deal with the delay insurance thing!"

He originally thought that voluntarily giving up the claim would at least be regarded as "high integrity" in the eyes of the other party.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lianheng and Zhao Zhengbei burst into laughter.

Liang Bolin couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he giggled along with "Haha".

But Jiang Lianheng smiled and smiled, but suddenly his face turned serious, "What are you laughing at?"

"Ah?" Liang Bolin looked confused, "I...this..."

"Who said I have to pay you for the delay insurance?"

"No one said, no one said." Liang Bolin asked in embarrassment, "Then what do you want..."

Zhao Zhengbei continued: "Brother Dao's insurance company just opened, and something like this happened. It was our sign! Now that I have gone to great lengths to help you get the goods back, you are just pretending to be dumb." , not quite appropriate, right?"

Liang Bolin understood immediately and said quickly: "Don't worry, you two, I will publish it in the newspaper in the name of Shanfangtang tomorrow and explain the whole story clearly!"

Jiang Lianheng picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip and said, "Then please give me a few nice words, Shopkeeper Liang."

Liang Bolin smiled bitterly and said: "No trouble, this is what we should do!"

Hearing this, Jiang Lianheng stood up and said: "Shop manager Liang, I have found a shop at the west gate of the old city in the past two days, and I am planning to open another branch. Shanfangtang is our time-honored brand. When it opens, Please be sure to come over and help support us!"

"Hey! When will it happen? Don't worry, Boss Jiang. If you send me a letter then, I will definitely be there in person!"

"Don't worry, I guess we'll have to wait until next month!" Jiang Lian strode out of Shanfang Hall.

Liang Bolin followed behind and saw them off, finally stopping under the plaque of the old drug store, waving his hand and watching the two of them go away.

The street was noisy and lively. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and immediately turned back to the store.

When he passed the counter, he ordered the guy who was taking medicine again: "You guys keep an eye here while I go to the backyard to discuss business. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"

With that said, Liang Bolin opened the door curtain and entered the back hall.

Facing the pungent fragrance of medicine, he passed through a chopping guillotine and a medicine grinder, and finally arrived at the door of the backyard cabin, stretched out his hand, and opened the bead curtain.

"Shua la la!"

The fine bead curtain swayed gently, swaying from side to side, making Liang Bolin's figure somewhat blurry.

He turned sideways and bowed respectfully into the room, looking a little apprehensive.

"Well, I've already followed your instructions, so it shouldn't be my fault this time, right?"

There seemed to be more than one person in the room, and faint sounds of Japanese conversation could be heard.

Liang Bailin bent down and stood there, wiping the sweat from his forehead from time to time, and murmured in a low voice: "We are just an ordinary businessman, let alone you two, I can't afford to offend even the Double Dragon Club! If you want me again! I don’t understand what you ask me to do, and I will only miss your business!”

The conversation in Japanese stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, another Chinese sentence was heard softly in the room, and the words were spoken in a clear accent.

"Shopkeeper Liang is so humble. You have done a good job. I will have nothing to do without you in the future."

"Hey, okay, okay, I understand."

After a moment of pause, the man said calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Rong Wu will think of you well." Liang Bolin was slightly startled. He didn't look happy, but a little scared. He just grinned dryly, "Thank you very much." Thank you for thinking about me."

……

……

Back at their residence in Nancheng, Han Xinyuan and Zhang Zhengdong had already started packing their luggage, preparing to set off back to Fengtian tomorrow.

After the Shuanglong Society fell, the Jiang family's name soon spread in the city.

Ten years ago, a poor boy from Nancheng was transformed into a rich young man, trying to eradicate the evil party Shuanglong Society - Mr. Yan, the wild book talker, is at work again.

Shanfangtang's medicinal materials and stolen official silver have all been recovered. Zongheng Freight Insurance Company's reputation has become an instant hit in the local area, and many businesses have come to ask for insurance prices.

The Jiang family's business has finally opened up sales, and it no longer has to rely entirely on Tong Saner's downline in Yingkou.

Opening a semicolon would take some time. Jiang Lianheng could not stay here forever, so he left the matter to Liu Yansheng.

Zhao Zhengbei originally planned to help put away the luggage, but as soon as he opened the door, Hu Xiaoyan called him to the back room.

"Sister-in-law, are you looking for me?"

Hu Xiaoyan sat on the edge of the kang and waved to him, "Beifeng, come and sit here."

"Oh!"

Zhao Zhengbei sat down on the edge of the Kang, and Hu Xiaoyan asked: "How old are you this year? You are eighteen. Did I remember correctly?"

"Yes, yes, eighteen, my sister-in-law has a good memory!"

Hu Xiaoyan ignored Bei Feng's flattery, just frowned and murmured to herself: "Then you have to tighten your grip."

"Hurry up?" Zhao Zhengbei was stunned, "Sister-in-law, I'm not in a hurry to get a wife!"

"Who said I would give you a wife?"

"Then what else is there to hold on to?"

Hu Xiaoyan suddenly said seriously: "Beifeng, starting from today, I have to give you a job."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhengbei straightened up and said hurriedly: "Okay! Sister-in-law, if you have anything to do, just ask me!"

Hu Xiaoyan took a deep breath and continued: "From today on, you don't have to worry about anything, you only have to do one thing."

"what's up?"

"Read and learn to write! It doesn't matter how good you are at reading, as long as you can recognize all the commonly used words and be able to read newspapers. You don't have to follow me anymore to run the family business."

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with me?" Zhao Zhengbei frowned, "I didn't do anything right, why are you torturing me like this?"

Hu Xiaoyan waved her hand, "Don't complain here, it's useless! There is no room for negotiation on this matter."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, look at me at this age. What am I doing studying? It's useless. It's just a waste of time."

"You really don't want to study?"

Zhao Zhengbei hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head firmly, "I really don't want to think about it, it's useless, and I can't sit still!"

Hu Xiaoyan suddenly darkened her face, nodded and said, "Okay, pack your things and let's go!"

"Hey, good!"

Zhao Zhengbei stood up, took two steps forward, stopped suddenly, looked back, and asked, "Sister-in-law, where am I going?"

"Go wherever you fall in love!" Hu Xiaoyan said coldly, "Get out of this door, and don't say you are from the Jiang family in the future."

Zhao Zhengbei was immediately stunned. He looked himself up and down and found that there was nothing from head to toe that was not given by the Jiang family. Now that he was getting older and left the Jiang family, although he would no longer go begging for food, he still could. I can only carry a bag and work as a coolie.

He immediately turned around without any hesitation, rested his butt on the edge of the kang, and sat in front of Hu Xiaoyan with a grin on his face.

"Sister-in-law, I have always felt that this person must be knowledgeable! If he is not knowledgeable, he will be looked down upon."

"Want to study?" Hu Xiaoyan asked.

"Hey! In fact, I have always thought that..." Zhao Zhengbei glanced at his sister-in-law, "I just don't know what I can do by studying."

"I don't need you to be knowledgeable. You should learn the common words first, and you can learn the rest slowly."

"Then what?"

Hu Xiaoyan patted Bei Feng's shoulder heavily, "I'll let your brother find a way to send you to the martial arts hall!"
