Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 94 After returning from honeymoon (1w, please subscribe!)
Zhu Chuanren's sudden change of voice made Ricardo slightly startled. He thought that these yellow-skinned people who came from afar were here for people, but he didn't expect that they were here for business.

"Sea trade? Jesus Christ, it turns out that people in the East also do trade?"

This sentence fully reflects the pride and prejudice of white people, but he doesn't feel it yet.

Zhu Chuanren's Qi-nurturing Kung Fu was online, but after hearing Mao Dan's translation, Lao Tan's expression changed and he was about to draw his gun on the spot.

Fortunately, Zhu Chuanren gave him a wink in time and restrained himself from pulling out the gun, but the handle of the gun was already exposed.

Ricardo fell back in fear and quickly raised his hands in surrender:

"Sorry, man, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that it's incredible that the great Easterners would be willing to get involved in such a worthless field as maritime trade."

Mao Dan's face softened slightly, he glared at him and translated slowly.

Zhu Chuanren laughed out loud after hearing this:
"Ricardo, you really can adapt to the wind."

The other party laughed sarcastically:
"What I said caused misunderstanding, and I deeply apologize for my words."

Okay, you know that only by giving in can you achieve great things. Zhu Chuanren doesn't like fools who are blindly reckless.

"Okay, that's not important. What's important is, can you tell me now how to set up a trading company for you?"

"Of course, my friend, as you wish, the registration process is actually very simple. All you need is a paid-in registered capital. The local protection of businessmen in Venice is one of the best in the world. Please also ask for this. rest assured."

Zhu Chuanren nodded:
"The key is how to generate benefits."

"I wonder what industry Mr. Zhu plans to trade in? General goods? Or resources? Or export goods?"

"I'd like to hear your advice, Ricardo."

"My suggestion? Then I would definitely suggest resources. A ship of coal is far more valuable than a ship of rice!"

"This means that a special ship needs to be customized, right?"

"Theoretically so."

Seeing the other party's cautious words, Zhu Chuanren chuckled and said:

"Ricardo, don't worry that your words will offend me. Just say it boldly."

"Well, Mr. Zhu, you are such a generous gentleman."

"Hahaha, I haven't heard anyone praise me like this for a long time, but thank you~"

Ricardo spread his hands:
"That's because they don't know how to recognize people. So, does Mr. Zhu want to do resource trading?"

"No! The investment in this area is too great, and I may not be able to support it."

Ricardo did not show any sign of contempt and said quickly:

"Of course, this investment is indeed too large. So what do you think, Mr. Zhu?"

"How about doing grain trade? In the next period of time, the far East will be plunged into unprecedented turmoil, and grain is undoubtedly the top priority."

Ricardo was stunned for a moment:

"Food? I haven't thought about that."

"You can imagine, but the company would operate under the name of Italy."

Ricardo was puzzled:
"why?"

"You will know then, Ricardo, I need you to tell me, what would you do if you were running this company?"

"There is no doubt that I will first find a granary for us, a super granary with low price and plump fruits!"

Zhu Chuanren's eyes lit up:
"where?"

Ricardo raised his lips:
"I wonder if Mr. Zhu knows about Er Mao!"

Zhu Chuanren did not answer directly, but gave the most affirmative reply with a hearty laugh.

"Man, we thought we'd get together."

Ricardo felt a sense of accomplishment in being recognized:

"In fact, there is no place in the world that is more suitable as a granary than Ermao. We can set up a transfer station in southern Italy, and the grain will come out of the Black Sea into the Mediterranean, and then come to China along the coastline of Eurasia."

Zhu Chuanren fully agreed, and he thought so too, but he had little information in the East and some issues needed to be determined:
"Is Ermao independent now?"

"Yes, just after declaring independence, Ermao has entered a period of temporary stability and peace."

Zhu Chuanren, who was familiar with the First World War, knew that the peace in Ermao would not last long, but it had nothing to do with him. What he wanted was the food from the black land. It didn't matter to him how many people died. It just happened to be the black land. Nutrients, multi-purpose.

As for whether war will affect trade, Zhu Chuanren said that he is not afraid at all. War is war, and trade is trade. As long as there is enough money, there will always be more people in the world who are willing to take risks than honest people.

Speaking of which, Ermao is a region that is comparable to Korean sticks, native chickens, and Poland. This region can always give birth to incredible leaders.

If the reason why Goryeo Bang's brain doesn't work is because he has been enslaved since ancient times and ate too much kimchi, then what is Ermao?
Considering that there is never a shortage of food here, is there any possibility that they are full and full?
Around the eighth to ninth centuries AD, Kievan Rus, which was composed of various tribal alliances, gradually formed with Kiev as the center in later generations. Although this city developed rapidly.

But it soon surrendered and declined with the invasion of the Mongols. After the rise of Poland and Lithuania, Ermao was ruled by the kingdom composed of these two countries.

Under foreign rule, the living space of the Ermao people was repeatedly exploited. The land in Ukraine was fertile, and the Polish nobles were very greedy for this land. They came here to enclose the land one after another, causing countless Ermao people to lose their land and become serfs.

In order to better rule the Ermao people, Poland even banned the use of its original mother tongue. Finally, under heavy blows and pressure, the Ermao people made a request to merge with the Damao people, who were also Slavs.

This was the first time that the Ermao people were bound to the Da Mao people. From that time on, history inadvertently drew symbols between the two nations.

After that, the Tsarist Empire declared war on Poland, and the war also further divided the Ermao people. Russia and Poland also signed a treaty to divide the Ermao. Poland got the western Ermao, and the eastern part was assigned to the Dalai Lama. The fate of the Ermao people was once again determined. about.

Until the 21st century, the eastern Ukraine is close to Mao, while the western part is more yearning for the West. This is a rhythm that has long been marked by history.

However, after being merged into Tsarist Russia, the Ermao did not win the autonomy they wanted. The Tsar issued a series of policies to restrict the Ermao.

This is like a little boy meeting his stepfather. Can he tolerate it?
For example, the word Ermao is not allowed to appear in Russian and is replaced by "Little Rus". At the same time, history and literature courses about Ermao are not allowed to be opened.

But for hundreds of years, the Ermao people have never given up their pursuit of national independence. As long as there is an opportunity, the Ermao people will find ways to seek independence.

Under the rule of Tsarist Russia, due to high-pressure policies such as "de-Ermaoization", the culture of the Ermao has regressed, and the proportion of illiterate people among the Ermao has also increased rapidly.

An unknown statistic shows that in this era, the literacy rate of Ermao is nearly 13.00%. This is a very low ratio. Only one person in more than ten people is literate.

More than 200 years ago, almost all [-]-year-old men were literate, and a high proportion of women were also literate.

A national culture has been suppressed, castrated or even banned. This is one of the important reasons why the Ermao people always resist and pursue independence.

Furthermore, with the outbreak of World War I, the Ermao people's desire for independence became even more intense, because at this time the Ermao people were divided into two camps, attacking each other, and the tragedy of brothers killing each other was staged every day.

Before the outbreak of World War I, Poland had been annexed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Western Ukrainians were also ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

As Tsarist Russia and Austria-Hungary belong to two camps, both countries have a large number of Ermao people serving.

The scale may be as high as millions.

These Ermao people, who originally belonged to the same ethnic group, spoke the same language, and had basically the same life and customs, were on the front line every day, fighting for different camps and killing their own compatriots, but they were all making wedding clothes for others.

This situation has also made countless Ermao people extremely distressed, and it has also accelerated the pace of the Ermao people's pursuit of national autonomy and national independence.

The outbreak of World War I also gave the Ermao people a rare historical opportunity. They seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to declare independence. Although such a regime only existed for a short period of time, it was also a great encouragement to the Ermao people.

As the war continued, Tsarist Russia and Austria-Hungary both perished one after another, which made the Ermao people see a God-given opportunity to build their country.

Just last year, Tsarist Russia had reached the end of its destruction. At this rare moment, the Ermao people formed the Rada and finally announced the establishment of the "Ermao Republic" in order to seek independence.

At this time, Ermao was still waiting and watching. Facing the newly established Soviet Russia, he not only refused to recognize the relationship with Soviet Russia, but also refused to recognize the Soviet Union.

At the beginning of this year, after seeing that the West was hostile to the Soviet Union, Ermao became bold and simply announced his separation from the Soviet Union and the establishment of an independent country.

At the same time, in order to cope with the possible attack of the Soviet Russian army, Ermao signed a contract with the German tanks to provide them with food and other materials to support them in fighting the First World War, and sought help from Hans Xiong to send troops.

In the end, 45 Hansi troops marched into Ermao and used actions to support Ermao's independence.

But good luck did not come to Ermao. Just when the people were still immersed in the joy of independence, Hans Xiong, who was invited in by them, suddenly showed his fangs and used force to drive out the supreme ruler of Ermao, Rada, and support a pro-German pseudo-government.

The attempt to establish an independent nation failed again.

Later, with the defeat of Hans in the First World War, the Ermao puppet regime also quickly collapsed under the attack of the Soviet Red Army.

It is equivalent to a child raised by a stepmother being taken back by his stepfather and stepmother just a few years after he ran away from home. It is really miserable.

But no matter what the fight is, the food production on the black soil will not be affected, because the biggest advantage of this country is food, so neither Ermao himself nor foreign rulers will interfere with food production.

On this point, Zhu Chuanren and Ricardo coincided with each other.

"The food problem has been solved, and what remains is the transportation problem. I would like to ask, how much does it cost to order or buy a grain ship?"

"Look at the tonnage. A 200-ton vessel costs US$[-] million."

Zhu Chuanren thought for a moment:

"In this case, orders can be placed with domestic shipyards in the name of foreign companies."

At present, the domestic Jiangnan Shipyard can produce 150-ton cargo ships, with the cost ranging from 200 million to [-] million US dollars.

From this point of view, domestic shipbuilding is still cheaper. The most important thing is that if you place an order in the name of a foreign company, the other party will not dare to fake it. The main thing is that the leather is durable.

The ship issue is easy to talk about, but the key is food.

Now that Ermao has declared independence, at least for the next five years, we will not have to worry about not having food. But in five years, Ermao will be forcibly ordered to settle down. At that time, Damao will forcibly requisition food. By then, we may be faced with a situation where there is no food to buy. What will happen at that time? manage?
From this point of view, a second granary must be opened.

No matter what, let’s get the business started first.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chuanren said to Ricardo:

"Would you be interested in running a business on your own?"

Ricardo seemed to have had a premonition and was not surprised:

"Mr. Zhu, will you trust me with such a big business?"

"We have an old saying in the East: Don't trust those who employ them, and don't trust those who doubt them."

Ricardo tried to repeat this sentence in Chinese, but he didn't understand it well. But through Mao Dan's translation, he understood the meaning:

"A very philosophical sentence."

"I heard that your ancestor was in business?"

"That's right! I come from a business family!" Ricardo said proudly.

"Ha~ So you must have business genes, and you have been a broker, so you have rich network resources."

"Yes, these are my advantages."

"Then the question is, have you ever thought about restoring your family's glory?"

Ricardo's eyes flashed:
"Mr. Zhu, you are really a genius at negotiation. You can always scratch the opponent's itch."

"Because I know what you want."

"So, I want to confirm, Mr. Zhu, are you really willing to leave this business to me?"

"Of course, I will give you [-]% of the shares. Work hard. Maybe in the next few years, your name Ricardo will be heard throughout the Apennine Peninsula!"

"I also hope, Mr. Zhu, that we can have a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

The first task Zhu Chuanren gave him was to find a grain supplier from Ermao as soon as possible, and then buy a second-hand cargo ship so that it could be put into operation as soon as possible.

"No problem, give me a day and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Looking forward to your good news, Ricardo!"

After leaving Ricardo's home, Zhu Chuanren and the others rowed the gondola back. The rippling waterway created endless reveries in people's minds. Unfortunately, this place is not suitable for long-term living, and is only suitable for occasional vacations.

Otherwise, he wouldn't mind spending a lot of money to buy a property here.

After living in Venice for a few days, the biggest feeling is the humidity. Those who say that Venice is not damp are pure nonsense.

The weather is fine when it's not windy. As long as the wind blows, water vapor will be blown into the house without any reservation. Those who say it's not damp are all paid.

Back at the hotel, Xin'er and Ni Sichun were chatting in the room, wearing Western-style silk pajamas, which were a bit more sexy than traditional Chinese pajamas.

"You're back~" Ni Sichun said with a smile.

"Well, we went out for a walk, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. I ordered something to eat."

Zhu Chuanren almost forgot that Ni Sichun knew English.

Although the popularity of English in the world in this era is far less than that of later generations, there is definitely no shortage of people who can speak English in hotels, especially high-end hotels.

"That's good. Let's play for a few more days and then continue our journey."

"Where to go next?" Xin'er asked.

"Take the train, now go around Italy, then go to Switzerland, France, Spain, Portugal, and finally take a boat back from Portugal."

This is the plan. As for whether it can be executed according to the plan, Zhu Chuanren can't say yet.

After all, although the First World War was over, local conflicts in small places were still continuing, so Zhu Chuanren could not guarantee that his plan would go as planned.

Early the next morning, Ricardo came to the hotel and confirmed many company matters with Zhu Chuanren.

The company's name is tentatively named Eurasia, with a registered capital of 10 U.S. dollars.

After successful registration, Ricardo directly acquired a bankrupt shipping company through personal connections, including a passenger ship and a cargo ship.

The passenger ship can be resold, and the cargo flow can be retained for renovation. After all, the total cost of this 80-ton freighter is less than [-] dollars, which is very cheap.

You must know that this cargo ship has only been in service for less than five years and is considered a quasi-new ship.

As for goods, Ricardo contacted a Jew who was doing futures business in Eastern Europe and ordered 150 tons of wheat from him at a price of US$10000.

After this batch of wheat was shipped back, Zhu Chuanren estimated that the profit should be at least US$50 per ton.

Do you think the boat will return empty?Of course not!

To transport grain to China, we can also get a batch of light industrial products or abundant crops from China to Europe.

In this way, after two round trips, the investment cost can be earned back, and then there will be a net profit!
Therefore, doing business has never been difficult, as long as you have enough capital and connections.

Even if you don’t understand anything, as long as you can understand people, you can naturally get people who understand to work for you.

But for most people, they are unlucky because they have no money and no connections to support you in starting.

Closer to home, after everything was settled, Zhu Chuanren took his two daughters on their honeymoon trip. They learned about the cultural legends of the Renaissance in Italy, and then went back to Switzerland to experience the beautiful scenery of the Alps.

Coming down from the mountain and heading straight to France, Zhu Chuanren bought a winery in the Bordeaux region for a bargain price, then went south to the Iberian Peninsula and felt the enthusiasm of the gypsy girls before embarking on a cruise back home.

I originally planned to go to Portugal for a tour, but then I thought that the style there was close to that of Spain, and it had already taken me a year to complete this tour, so I counted on the time and decided to go back.

Moreover, both Xin'er and Ni Sichun were homesick, so they simply changed their plans midway, ended their honeymoon trip in Spain early, and boarded a cruise ship back home.

By the time they returned to the Magic City, it was already the autumn of 1919.

"Xin'er, Sichun, show me quickly. How are you doing? Have you been bullied outside? Are you eating well?"

As soon as they entered the gate of Zhu Mansion, the two girls were caught by Wei Chunfang, who kept asking questions from left to right.

Zhu Chuanren was helpless on the sidelines, as no one cared about his biological son.

However, the two sisters-in-law, Xian'er and Xiu'er, were still thinking about him. They helped take the luggage with smiles and showed concern.

Zhu Chuanren said:

"This bag is a gift for you. Open it and share it with everyone."

Children love gifts the most. Before Xian'er could take them, several children snatched them away and went to open the gifts while yelling.

"These kids are all big and small!" Xian'er scolded, turned to look at Xin'er and Ni Sichun, and suddenly screamed:
"Hey, Xin'er, are you pregnant?"

Her voice directly pressed the pause button on the hilarious atmosphere.

Wei Chunfang hurriedly looked at Xiner's belly. Sure enough, wasn't the slightly bulging belly a sign of pregnancy?
She didn't pay attention just now, or she didn't instinctively think in that direction, thinking that Xin'er had gained weight from eating outside.

Xin'er nodded shyly:
"Mom, it's only three months."

"Oh, this kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? Come on, go back to the house and rest first. His father, please hurry up and ask the doctor to come over and check his pulse. It's been a bumpy ride, so don't break my precious grandson!"

Zhu Chuanren was speechless:
"Mom, how do you know it's your grandson? What if it's your granddaughter?"

"My granddaughter can't be raped, either. Dad, stop beating him and hurry up!" Wei Chunfang shouted anxiously.

"No, I see that Xin'er's face is rosy, and it doesn't look like there is something wrong." Zhu Kaishan said calmly.

Xin'er also held Wei Chunfang's hand and said comfortingly:

"Yes, mother, I'm fine. I can eat and sleep. My husband-in-law has taken good care of me all the way. I haven't been bumped or touched. The child must be fine."

Seeing Xin'er being surrounded by everyone as if they were holding the moon in their arms as they entered the mansion, Ni Sichun was a little bit amused and moved closer to Zhu Chuanren, holding back his mouth and saying nothing.

When Zhu Chuanren saw this, he immediately comforted her and said in her ear:
"Don't worry, I will mainly serve you these days and try to get you pregnant."

When Ni Sichun heard this, his face turned red with embarrassment:

"Fuck you, I don't want you to serve me." He said this, but his eyes were still envious, but it was a pity that his stomach didn't live up to expectations, and he didn't move for such a long time.

She didn't even think about it. Xin'er and Zhu Chuanren spent more time together. Wasn't this just the result?

After comforting Ni Sichun for a few words, Zhu Chuanren saw that the eldest and second eldest brother were approaching, and Zhu Chuanren stepped forward and beat their chests with his fists:
"How are you?"

"I'm fine~" Chuanwu laughed innocently.

Zhu Chuanwen, on the other hand, touched the back of his head in embarrassment and did not dare to answer.

One look at this posture showed that he was in trouble.

Zhu Chuanren's smile faded and he asked:
"what's wrong with you?"

Chuanwu shook his head and said for him:

"The boss had a sweetheart outside, but Xian'er caught him red-handed."

When Zhu Chuanren heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was just raising a woman, not a big deal.

As long as you don't get involved in gambling or independence, it's not a big deal!
However, he still expressed concern:
"What happened to that woman?"

Zhu Chuanwu looked at the boss helplessly:
"A widow with a girl, who is quite handsome. I don't know why, but she fell in love with a coward like the boss."

Zhu Chuanwen scratched his neck:

"Second brother, you have to be careful with your words. Who are you talking about? After all, I am your eldest brother!"

In this family, only Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Chuanren can control the boss. He is dissatisfied and angry with everyone else.

"You don't like hearing that you are a coward, right? Then tell me, what are you going to do with the widow? Should she keep her outside? Or take her home? No, if Xian'er can let you take her home, , I, Zhu Chuanwu, write my name backwards."

Zhu Chuanwen couldn't keep his face, pointed at Zhu Chuanwu's nose and said:
"You're such a dick, why don't you try to provoke me with your words? Okay, just wait, I have to take her back!"

Zhu Chuanren frowned and resisted the urge to kick out. He hadn't killed anyone in several years. Could it be that he, Zhu Chuanren, grew up a vegetarian?
"Shut up, brother, what's going on with the widow? Have you checked the details?"

Chuanwu shook his head:

"I want to check, but the boss won't let me."

"What is there to investigate? I am a widow with a child. How can she harm me?" Chuanwen was very unconvinced.

"That's hard to say. After all, it's hard to find someone like you who takes advantage of you."

"you"

Zhu Chuanren pointed at his nose and said:
"If I hear another piece of nonsense from you, you won't be able to go out from now on."

Zhu Chuanwen threw away his hands angrily and left. Zhu Chuanren frowned as he looked at him. This guy was really getting more and more alive.

It seems that people still can't be idle. Once they are idle, big troubles will easily happen.

"Second brother, go check out that woman's background and tell me if you find out clearly."

"Okay, I've wanted to do this for a long time."

Chuanwu nodded sharply. In fact, he was doing it for the boss's benefit.

"Well, and that child, are you sure it's not the boss's?"

"Shouldn't it be?"

When Chuanren said this, he suddenly became a little vague.

"Check it carefully!" Zhu Chuanren didn't waste any more nonsense. He'll talk about it after checking it clearly.

He never believed in coincidences. There were no coincidences in this world.

"I see."

"By the way, where is Chuanjie?"

Chuanwu slapped his forehead:
"I almost forgot, there was something wrong at the company, and he went there early in the morning."

"What's wrong?"

Before Zhu Chuanren left, he handed over the company to Chuanjie. Xia Yuanzhang was there at the factory, and Huang Mapi was there to help keep an eye on things on the road. If that didn't work, he could ask Zhu Chuanwu to take action with his brothers at home. Logically speaking, there would be no big deal.

And before Zhu Chuanren left, he warned him not to try to expand, but to stabilize the current situation.

With Zhu Chuanjie's character, he shouldn't be able to do anything extraordinary.

Moreover, he has some blind worship of Zhu Chuanren. He will definitely not do anything that Zhu Chuanren does not let him do rashly.

What can go wrong?
"I don't know the specifics. I heard Kong Laoer tell me."

As soon as he mentioned Kong Laoer, Zhu Chuanren said quickly:
"He's back? What happened in Xian'er's hometown?"

"Hey~ They are just a group of bandits. In fact, they have something to do with us."

Zhu Chuanren was excited:
"It won't be the same batch we killed back then."

"You guessed it right. The leader of the group of bandits we killed had an elder brother who came back to take revenge. He couldn't find us. After asking around, he learned that Xian'er had gone with us, so he kidnapped Xian'er. My parents want to fish us back and kill us."

Zhu Chuanren nodded, so he thought there was something wrong with the letter, and it turned out to be true!
"and then?"

"After Kong Laoer came back to report the news, and you weren't here, our father made the decision. After all, we are the in-laws and must be saved, so he asked me to take people back."

Since Chuanwu is here talking to him safely, it means that the matter has been resolved.

"Is everything cleaned up?"

"Don't worry, a group of stragglers couldn't stop us from charging. They were all wiped out. I even stayed behind to interrogate the big boss and made sure he had no relatives or friends before beheading him."

"What about Xian'er's parents?"

"Well, I hate her and our family even more. I wanted to bring them here, but they refused to agree. They even cut off their sleeves and wanted to have no contact with Xian'er and our family."

Zhu Chuanren sneered:
"Idiot~ What did Xian'er say?"

"She was a little sad, but she got used to it after so many years. She cried a few times and got over it."

Zhu Chuanren nodded:

"Xian'er is a good and sensible girl."

"Yeah, I didn't expect her parents to be like this, but this matter still has something to do with us after all, so dad sent someone to give them some money, and they accepted it."

Zhu Chuanren nodded slightly:
"If I don't accept them, I can still look up to them. Since I accept them, let's do this. Give them some money every once in a while, and consider it as a filial piety for Xian'er."

Chuanwu nodded:

"That's what dad said. After all, it's our old Zhu family who is in the wrong. Let's spend some money to have peace of mind."

I didn’t expect that so many things would happen after I left.

The most important thing at the moment is the company. He changed his tone:
"Right, so what happened in the company? What did Kong Laoer say?"

"It seems that something happened to Director Kant, and the public board of directors stopped all the projects under the name of Renhe Trading Co., Ltd."

"What happened to Kant?" Zhu Chuanren couldn't help shouting.

This is a big deal. Zhu Chuanren is currently deeply bound to Kant. If something happens to Kant, the Zhu family's status in the concession will plummet.

It can be said that one move affects the whole body.

No, Zhu Chuanren couldn't sit still anymore, he turned around and was about to go out.

"San'er, where are you going?" Chuanwu called him.

"I'm going to find the fourth child. You can keep an eye on me at home and put all the brothers on alert. Tell your family members not to go out if you have nothing to do recently."

Zhu Chuanren gave a few quick instructions and he was already in the car.

"Old Tan!"

"Third Young Master~"

"Get in the car and talk on the road."

Lao Tan didn't ask any questions, opened the door and got in the car.

"Something happened? Third Young Master?"

"Well, something may have happened over there at Kant. Go to the Public Director's Office!"

After a pause, the conversation changed:
"No, go to Kant's house!"

"Yes!"

Lao Tan gave instructions to the driver and the car started.

Kangde's house was on Fuxi Road, a three-story apartment next to a tree-lined alley. There was no one in front of the door at this time. It seemed that unlike what Zhu Chuanren thought, no one died.

As long as no one dies, there is room for change.

Zhu Chuanren breathed a sigh of relief. Before Chuanjie and Kong Laoer came back, they couldn't figure out what happened.

No, maybe someone knows.

Zhu Chuanren said:

"Go to Li Qing's house!"

Lao Tan reacted in his mind for a second before he remembered who it was. The name didn't appear in many chapters.

Li Qing's house was not far from Kande's house, and it only took two or three minutes to drive. This was because I slowed down because of the flow of people.

However, Li Qing was not at home at this time. Zhu Chuanren asked his brother to unlock the door directly. His third young master would not sit at the door and wait for someone.

As for whether this will infringe on Li Qing's privacy?
Sorry, this word is not popular in this era.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Chuanren was sitting on the sofa reading a book when he heard the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground outside the door.

After a while, the door opened, and Li Qing subconsciously screamed.

Fortunately, Zhu Chuanren was facing the door, and Li Qing recognized him at a glance.

I saw her covering her chest and saying in shock:
"Third Young Master, why are you here~"

Zhu Chuanren chuckled:
"Remember me? Miss Li has a good memory."

"Of course, how could it be possible to forget."

Li Qing said angrily, not caring why Zhu Chuanren came over without even saying hello, or even entered her home without her permission. None of this mattered.

She hung her coat and bundle on the hanger, revealing a black sweater that outlined her curvy figure. She wore a knee-length brown skirt and black half-knee boots.

The overall combination not only loses the sense of youth, but also adds the stability of sitting in separate offices. It is good and agrees with Zhu Chuanren's appetite.

"Third Young Master, do you need me to bring you some more tea?"

"No, you've had enough to drink. Sit down and have a quick chat."

Li Qing sat on the single sofa next to him, only an arm's length away from Zhu Chuanren, with his hands folded and resting on his knees, looking slightly nervous.

"Has anything happened in the public affairs office recently?"

Zhu Chuanren asked.

"The third young master probably wants to ask about Kant, right?"

A sharp look flashed in Zhu Chuanren's eyes. Sure enough, something had really happened to Kant. Even Li Qing, the clerk in charge of supervision, knew about it, which meant that the matter was not serious.

"So what happened to him? I just got back and I don't know anything about it."

Li Qing breathed out, thinking that she had offended Zhu Chuanren, but fortunately it had nothing to do with her.

"The matter started a month ago. The female secretary of Director Kant suddenly died mysteriously. This incident caused an uproar in the public affairs office. Subsequently, Director Kant was furious and asked the police to solve the case within a time limit.

But half a month later, the police department still has not come up with clear results.

At this time, the female secretary's family suddenly came to the board of directors and made a fuss, demanding that Director Kant pay for their daughter's life. "

The image of the female secretary had already appeared in Zhu Chuanren's mind. She was a slightly fat woman with a big butt. She looked very blessed and made everyone smile when she saw her.

This woman's name is Qin Xiangru, a native of Shanghai. She taught herself French. She originally worked in a translation office, but was transferred to her by Kant.

If I remember correctly, Qin Xiangru has been with Kant for three or four years. The two have a close relationship. Yes, it is an imaginary relationship. Kant also likes her very much and often takes her to various banquets.

In fact, Zhu Chuanren had a very good impression of her. Based on his understanding, this woman should not offend anyone casually outside. How could she die?
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he heard Li Qing continue:
"This incident was such a big fuss that General Director Pierre asked Director Kant to go home and rest for a few days before returning to work after the storm had passed, and his work was taken over by Director Agathe."

Zhu Chuanren was stunned:
"Who? Agathe? Who is he?"

He had never heard of that name.

"It's the new director who came last year~"

Zhu Chuanren frowned tightly. Again, he didn't believe in coincidences. There are no coincidences in this world. A new director, Kant's secretary, died mysteriously, and he took over Kant's work. Is there anything in this? What connection?
"Where is Kant now?"

"I don't know about that~" Li Qing said helplessly, this was indeed not information she should know.

"What about today? Did anything special happen today?"

"Today? I didn't hear anything special happened."

Li Qing was puzzled and suddenly said:
"If I have to say it, there seems to be some movement at the police station. I wonder if the case has been solved? Or if a major clue has been obtained. Anyway, I heard huge cheers from the police station."

Zhu Chuanren knew what he was doing, stood up, and smiled at Li Qing:
"Thank you, the information you provided helped me a lot."

Li Qing also stood up quickly:
"You're welcome, Third Young Master. This is what I should do."

"Well, are you happy in the supervision department? Is anyone bullying you? If so, just come to me. If you can't find me, just go to Lao Tan and he will help you deal with it."

Li Qing shook her head and waved her hands:
"No, no, the work is very easy and my colleagues treat me well."

"That's good. Anyway, if you have any trouble, you can come to me. You're welcome."

Li Qing nodded repeatedly:

"Thank you, Third Young Master, for taking care of me."

"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. I'm leaving first. By the way, remember to change the lock later. My people opened it in less than three seconds. It's too unsafe."

Zhu Chuanren's words made Li Qing dumbfounded. Except for him, no one seemed to open the door in this way.

Of course, she didn't dare to say this, so she could only hold back a smile and say yes.

After going downstairs and before getting in the car, Zhu Chuanren's face darkened. He was given a big gift as soon as he came back, which was really warm.

He is now extremely suspicious of Kant's work, which is the handiwork of Agathe.

"Old Tan, do you know what to do?"

"Don't worry, Third Young Master, I'm going to investigate right away, and I will definitely get to the bottom of Agathe!"

"Quick! Also, let Jute Pi come to see me."

"Yes, Third Young Master!"

Zhu Chuanren went home first. He was not in a hurry to see Kant. He had to wait until he smoothed things out and the investigation was almost complete before going to see Kant.

But this person is a waste enough to be bullied like this by a newcomer.

If he wasn't still valuable, Zhu Chuanren would have wanted to find someone else to support him.

That night, Huang Mapi was a guest at Zhu Mansion.

In the study, Huang Mapi said with a sad face:

"Third Young Master, you are back. I am waiting for you to make the decision for me."

Zhu Chuanren waved his hand:
"Don't worry, the project belongs to us and no one can take it away. The problem is the new director named Agathe. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand at all!"

Zhu Chuanren immediately said:

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Wouldn't it be nice to see who is benefiting from this? With so many projects suspended at the same time, no one can afford to delay the progress. It cannot stop indefinitely. Someone must take over!"

After all, Huang Mapi was the one who would become a big boss in the future. When Zhu Chuanren reminded him, he quickly said:

"I checked, and the one most likely to take over is a trading company called Fuxinghao."

"What's the origin of this Lucky Star?"

"I don't know. I didn't find much information. The general manager of Fortune Star has a very clean background. I guess he is just a pawn who was pushed out."

Zhu Chuanren was very dissatisfied with this answer:

"do not know?"

"I really don't know, Third Young Master, you don't know something. In the past month, I have encountered obstacles everywhere. The police department is not treating me well. Even my colleagues in the Xiaodongmen Patrol Room are sarcastic towards me. What a change." Oh my God!" Huang Mapi cried with a pockmarked face.
