The real past of Jianghu: Canglang Underworld

Chapter 30
Zhao Yan said that she shouldn't do this. If this continues, sooner or later she will offend all her friends. She is getting more and more stingy now, especially to her old friends from the past and her brothers. No matter what, they are at least better than horses. People like the Cultural Revolution are much more reliable.

Hearing Zhao Yan say this, she became angry: "Who can be trusted? Just your brothers? And friends like Wang Qiang? Let me tell you, no one can be trusted. I rely on myself. I still have a little Money, they coax me, if you don’t have money, look again, and you won’t see a single person, I’m good enough to them, your brother-in-law has been dead for so long, how can these friends help? No It was I who paid for it, and if I spent money to invite outsiders, I would work much harder than them, and I would not need to spend so much money."

She was angry, and Zhao Yan was also angry: "You only have money in your eyes now, including my brother, but you cooperate with Ma Wenge and give him 40.00% of the dry stock for free, which is quite generous. I help brother, As long as 20.00% you refuse to do it, I really don't understand, why?"

The siblings often quarreled, and Zhao Yi saw that they were going to quarrel again today, and told Zhao Yan that she was going to pick up the child soon, and she had no time to quarrel with him.

Seeing that she was about to leave with her bag, Zhao Yan also turned off the ignition, and said with concern, "You still bring two brothers by your side every day. If you don't listen to people's advice, something will happen sooner or later."

"Thank you for your kindness!" She walked out the door without looking back, and left.

When she went downstairs to the backyard and started the car, she wondered if it was a bit too much for her to talk to her brother like this. The siblings always couldn't talk together, and she couldn't help it.

When she arrived at the Blue Lake Taekwondo Gym, the servant at home was waiting for her son to come out with a schoolbag in the lobby. Zhao Yi walked to the aisle, and her son was coming out of the practice room. When the son saw her, he threw the clothes to the servant. Just ask her where to eat tonight.

Because only the mother is at home now, the son doesn’t like to eat the meals cooked by the mother and the servants, so she said: “Let’s go to Pizza Hut to eat steak, and then go home after eating.”

The son frowned and said, "It's steak again."

She changed her words: "How about we go to McDonald's and eat KFC and hamburgers."

The son was still dissatisfied, and finally the servant said that on the way back, they had just opened a small bone-suction restaurant, and Cheng Cheng liked it very much.So, she took her son and servant to the newly opened Bone Sucking Restaurant.

They chose one, and after they sat down at the table by the window, the servant and his son began to order what they liked. Zhao Yi called the waitress and sat across from them, watching them order.

This son who doesn't like studying or sports, who is now in the fifth grade of primary school, is her future sustenance. Fortunately, his son is in good health, with a thick head and a thick head, and he is also quite tall, because I have been worried that my child will suffer in school fights. , she has always insisted on letting her children learn Taekwondo, which can not only strengthen the body, but also kill two birds with one stone. Looking at her son, she always feels relieved that her hardships for so many years are not in vain. It is because of this son that she endured Zhang Xinhu , More than ten years of torture.

Now, she has everything, but she lacks a man. Relying on her tens of millions of wealth, and because she is still young, she will find a man who is younger, handsome, and even educated than Zhang Xinhu. full of hope.The problem is that her current situation and background in the underworld will be the biggest obstacle to her remarriage. Not to mention members of the Zhang family, even my younger brother and mother will not agree to marry someone who has no social background, career, and no foundation. The little boy looks like a man.

But she just wanted to find a handsome boy. When she was in middle school, she admired those boys from superior families and gentle manners very much. There was a fair and clean boy who made her have a crush on him for more than a year, until he transferred to another school. Never heard from again.It was after that that she dropped out of school and was raped by Zhang Xinhu. She even had the thought of dying, but in the end her desire to survive was overwhelmed. She had nowhere to go and was forced to marry Zhang Xinhu.

Now that she is liberated, she wants to get her life back, but finds that she has no friends, and there are not many decent people around, and they are all wolf-hearted things.For the Jinghan Cemetery, she was firmly tied to this circle. She wanted to get rid of these people and this circle and find a new life for herself, but she couldn't leave this circle and these people. She must think about the family business, her children, and find a man who can help the business and treat children well, especially when the Zhou brothers are staring at the Jinghan cemetery and the two cornucopias of seahorses, she Don't take it lightly.

For Zhao Yi, there were troubles almost every day. Hu Zhijun had not been in Haima for a few days, and Zhao Yan came to complain. He opened a casino in the backyard of Haima, next to the courtyard wall, and many brothers were soliciting customers for the venue. , Zhao Yan has always wanted to open a venue on the fourth floor of Haima, because Zhao Yi felt that Haima's reputation is too big to attract attention, even if it has a relationship with the branch office, it might not be able to stop it. That's why Zhang Xinhu opened a casino outside.

Now that Hu Zhijun opened this place, and it is next to Haima, he just wanted to use the big tree of Haima to enjoy the shade, which would also have a negative impact on Haima. Instead of letting him open outside, it is better to open in Haima himself.

After hearing this, Zhao Yi appeased Zhao Yan and asked Hu Zhijun to come to the office. She definitely disapproved of Zhao Yan opening a casino, but Hu Zhijun's venue was not in Haima's yard after all, and she couldn't interfere with him, so she could only talk to Hu Zhijun. Negotiate, and hope that he will not drive, or move a little farther away, so as not to cause trouble for Haima.

Zhao Yi is very clear that this is a very difficult matter. These people are hungry wolves. As long as they have money, they can do murder and arson. Now they have opened a casino, and they put a lot of money into their pockets every day , Letting them quit is easier said than done!
Sitting on the executive chair, she began to worry again, while Zhao Yan sat on the sofa angrily.

Five minutes later, Hu Zhijun, who looked like a teacher, came to the door of the office wearing an outdated old suit from parallel imports and a pair of old three-section leather shoes, and asked:
"Chairman, are you looking for me?"

He called her chairman, and she felt sour. Others usually called her Mr. Zhao, and the younger one was called sister Zhao. This was the first time she heard someone call her chairman. She got up and asked Hu Zhijun to come in and sit down.

"It's like this, I came here today to discuss something with you," Zhao Yi said.

After Hu Zhijun was seated, Zhao Yi asked Zhao Yan to pour Hu Zhijun a glass of water, and Hu Zhijun quickly said, "No! No! If you need anything, just ask."

She then asked Hu herself that she had heard that he had opened a venue outside the backyard, is that true?
Hu Zhijun replied: "The brothers did open a venue outside the courtyard. I have heard about it a long time ago, but I did not open it."

Next, he told Zhao Yi that before he came to Haima, he had heard the brothers tell Ma Wenge that they wanted to open the scene, and both Ma Wenge and Ganzi agreed. , the specific location, he himself does not know, and he has never been there, nor has he received a penny from the venue.Because at the beginning, Ma Wenge only asked him to go to Haima to help and do what he could, but he didn't assign him to visit the casino, so he didn't go there.If Zhao Yi wanted to go to the venue, he could ask Zhao Yan to take her there, because he saw that Zhao Yan's brothers were all taking money from the venue and soliciting customers for the venue.They also invited themselves to supper, saying that with this venue, everyone would have more work at hand, and so many people took turns tapping in the box, it was really nothing to do.

After Hu Zhijun talked and talked, he pushed the problem to Zhao Yan. Zhao Yi had nothing to say. It seemed that although Hu Zhijun was much more eloquent than Ma Wenge and Ganzi, he was also much more cunning than them.So Zhao Yi said flexibly:

"That's it, no matter you or Ma Wenge opened the place, since Ma Wenge asked you to take charge of him here, then I should talk to you about it. We open Haima to make money, not to cause trouble. My ex-husband is It happened because of the opening of the casino. Now Haima’s business is good. There are also Ma Wenge’s dry shares here, 40.00%. If we want to continue the business for a long time, we shouldn’t make trouble for Haima. This casino is opened in Outside the courtyard wall at the back, a sensible person can tell at a glance that it has something to do with our hippocampus, this place will cause trouble for Haima sooner or later, no matter whether it is a white or a gangster, they will not let it go easily, don't you think?"

Sitting there, Hu Zhijun nodded and said, "You're right, it's like this."

Zhao Yi asked: "Then why do you still open him in this place?"

Hu Zhijun told her that he didn't open this place, and he can't control it, but Zhao Yan can control his brothers and don't get involved in it. As for Ma Wenge, he is responsible for conveying Zhao Yi's ideas to , give Zhao Yi a reply as soon as possible.

Having said that, it's over. Hu Zhijun said that if there is nothing else, he will go downstairs. Zhao Yi also told him very politely that he has been busy in Haima for so many days and has no time to invite him. It was a little rude to eat, and she will definitely make up for this meal after she finishes her work in a few days.

Hu Zhijun said: "The matter of the meal is omitted, and I can't help you with anything. What's the point of inviting me to dinner?"

Zhao Yi still wanted to say something, but Hu Zhijun had already left.As soon as he left, Zhao Yan stood up from the sofa indignantly and said, "I don't believe him when he says he didn't get a penny from the venue!"

Zhao Yi said: "This is a trivial matter, and sooner or later we will figure it out. The key is that your people are also in the middle, so I have nothing to say. If you take good care of your own people, I have no reason to blame others."

A week passed in a flash, and Zhao Yi was still waiting for Ma Wenge's reply, but he never came. Zhao Yan never mentioned the casino again, so she had dinner with Zhao Yan at noon this day, and asked It happened.

Zhao Yan said sullenly: "They all hope that this place can continue to open, so I have nothing to say."

Zhao Yi reckoned that what Zhao Yan was talking about were Zhao Yan's own boys, saying that he had no brains at all, and his subordinates hoped that the game would continue, so they kept silent.Sooner or later, this would lead to trouble, and she was bored to death every day.

Zhao Yan said: "Now, there are only these brothers left. If I offend everyone, who would want to hang out with me?"

"Don't talk about this, you are not this material, if you don't talk about anything else, just talk about Hu Zhijun, you are far behind him, he has only been here for a few days, and your men started running behind his ass, Help him speak, so I advise you, don't conflict with him in Haima in the future, you are not his opponent."

After dinner, she asked Zhao Yan to inform Hu Zhijun to meet her in the office later, she couldn't just let it go. "

She returned to the office, and within 10 minutes, that Hu Zhijun knocked on the door, still wearing the same suit of parallel imports.

Zhao Yi asked him to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and asked him about the last time he spoke to Ma Wenge, why there was no more text?
Hu Zhijun asked in surprise: "Zhao Yan, didn't I tell you?"

Zhao Yi also said in surprise, "What did you say?"

"The brothers all said that he agreed, and the scene will continue like this!"

She said that their siblings just had dinner together and didn't hear what Zhao Yan said to her, but since Hu Zhijun said it so definitely, she knew in her heart that Zhao Yan must have not told herself the truth.

She said to Hu Zhijun: "I am the only one who decides about Haima. No matter what Zhao Yan said, it is useless. I still insist on my own opinion. This casino cannot continue to operate. Driving it will have too much impact." She thought that Hu Zhijun would chat with her for a while, but she didn't expect Hu Zhijun to respond straightforwardly:

"Since you are firm, Chairman, and Ma Wenge doesn't want to close the casino, then come up with a compromise plan. How about asking Ma Wenge to ask the brothers to change places? A little farther away from Haima."

This is the best, she is worried that Ma Wenge may not agree, she is now afraid of talking to Ma Wenge and his gang, what they do, they always do not leave room for others, so she said to Hu Zhijun: "If This is the best, you can help me convey this idea to Ma Wenge, and I will definitely thank you when it is done."

"No need to thank you, I promise to let them move out within a week." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Zhao Yi looked at his lonely back with suspicious eyes, wondering if he would honor what he said, most of the people who hang out outside are duplicity, they will always play tricks to save themselves absolve.

In the evening, she went to Zhao Yan and asked him if he had made any promises to his brothers for the casino. Zhao Yan looked evasively and said that he hadn't said anything.

Just a few days after he said this, this afternoon, he suddenly broke into her office again and asked her: "Why do you insist on them and move the venue away, and now the brothers are thinking about me, it seems I can't stand them making a little money."

Zhao Yi was choked by him and couldn't speak. This matter itself was the first thing he brought up. For the benefit of Haima, of course she firmly supported it. He never changed his words to her. Why did he blame himself now.

Then, Zhao Yan bit back, saying that Hu Zhijun was not a thing, he was behind the scenes, and asked her to drive away Hu, because he and Hu were incompatible.

She knew that Zhao Yan couldn't beat Hu Zhijun, and she sympathized with her younger brother, but she couldn't keep up with Hu Zhijun. Ma Wenge's bastards are like gunpowder when they open their mouths, and it's much easier to talk when they open their mouths, so she can't agree with Zhao Yan's words.

On the contrary, Zhao Yan believed that Ma Wenge and Ganzi were much easier to deal with than Hu Zhijun.

The two were arguing fiercely when a call came from Jinghan Cemetery, saying that someone was making trouble in the management office and told her to go there quickly.

She didn't care what Zhao Yan had to say, so she dropped the phone and drove to the cemetery.Zhao Yan followed her downstairs, and asked her if she wanted to bring some brothers there, but she didn't think it was necessary, since it was broad daylight, and she was afraid that someone would fail.

She called the cemetery while driving and asked the other party what was going on?Did you call the police?Because there were a lot of cars on the road, she dodged left and right, overtook and ran red lights, and arrived at the cemetery in [-] minutes.

Still outside the cemetery, she saw the signboard on the archway, which was also thrown into the ditch by others. The old man guarding the gate was fishing for the signboard, and half of the iron gate was knocked down. When she was parking outside the office, she heard It was noisy, but no outsiders' voices were heard.

When she entered the office, it turned out that they were all the staff she had invited to do things. She asked who was causing the trouble, but no one could tell. Anyway, they were all from nearby villages. We often saw each other, but they still couldn’t name them. Why didn't they call the police?

Before she entered the room just now, a young couple was arguing. The woman wanted to resign, but the man disagreed. Seeing this scene, Zhao Yi knew that the situation was serious. The staff she hired were all local people. Well, usually they are not afraid of people making trouble, if they quit, then she will not be able to hire anyone who dares to work here, so she must keep everyone.

She looked at the registration forms and office supplies thrown on the ground, and let everyone do things with peace of mind. She will deal with today's affairs. Since Zhang Xinhu died, she has raised these people's wages twice. If they want to leave No matter how high the salary was, she couldn't keep it, so she took out five hundred yuan and asked the two men to take everyone to dinner and something to drink later.

The other party did not take her money and told her: "It's not that we don't want to do it anymore, it's that we can't continue here. They have been here several times, and we ignored them. Today they did it and wanted to beat me. They want to beat me today. If they really touch me, I will fight with them. Who is afraid of whom? You know the reason why you didn’t call the police. Well, they will get revenge, and when they left, they dropped their words, and they will come again in two days, we are here to do business, not to be security guards, so there is no need to provoke these hooligans."

Zhao Yi asked them to eat first today, and then go back to work on other things after eating, and we will talk about this tomorrow.

She persuaded everyone to leave with great difficulty. Facing the messy office and worrying, Zhao Yan took a few brothers with sticks and machetes.He rushed over and asked her, "Where is the person?"

Zhao Yan is like this every time, always an afterthought, what can she do, whether to blame him or thank him, she has told him more than once that she hopes he can help her to take care of the cemetery management office, but he said that he I'm afraid of ghosts, so I'm not suitable for this job.

She raised her head helplessly, and said to Zhao Yan: "If you really want to help me, you can bring a few brothers to help me take over this management office."

Zhao Yan seemed to be able to understand her feelings, saying that he was fine, and then asked the brothers behind him if they would like to stay here with him. The answers of several brothers were the same as Zhao Yan.They are not afraid of people, but ghosts.It’s okay to be here during the day, but there is no one at night. Those who dare to stay here on duty, they all like to watch ghost movies from Taiwan and zombie movies from Hong Kong. When they think of lonely ghosts everywhere in this wilderness, they panic , let her better hire someone else to do the job.

She had nothing to say.
