Chapter 106 Secret Transaction
After the internal turmoil in Jin'antang subsided, Hua Jinkun soon fell ill, and the deaths of He Manling and Feng Li hit him hard, and he was already physically and mentally exhausted.Hua Jinkun decided to hand over the gang and business to Meng Haoxiang, while he wanted to go back to his hometown in Wuxi to recuperate.

Meng Haoxiang organized an honor banquet for Hua Jinkun. Ye Zijin didn't want to attend at first, but Hua Jinkun actually asked her to attend.On the big stage of neon clothes, singing and dancing are dancing, the lights are feasting, and celebrities from all walks of life come to practice for Hua Jinkun.

Ye Zijin took advantage of the end of a song and dance to go to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, and almost ran into a woman when she came out.The woman was wearing a cheongsam with persimmon red sprinkled with gold patterns, her figure was elegant, her eyebrows were drawn as slender as willow leaves, her lips were bright red, and her eyes were charming.

Ye Zijin recognized her as Feng Qixia, who sang on the stage just now, and she was indeed a beauty of the generation. Compared with Wenying, her charm was a bit colder, and she was not like Wang Luqiu. The glamor makes people feel alienated, but a sense of distance that is just right.No wonder Wenying hates Feng Qixia so much. It turned out that there was a reason why the newspapers compared the two of them. The two of them looked a little similar, and their gestures were full of charm, and their faint smiles were like an oriental woman. All gentle and soft.

"Hello, Miss Feng." Ye Zijin greeted politely.

Feng Qixia raised her face, a gentle and kind smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "So it's Miss Ye, hello."

Ye Zijin originally thought that after the face-to-face meeting, she could leave in peace, but Feng Qixia gently leaned into her ear and said, "Miss Ye, can you go to a place with me conveniently, I have something to say to you, here It's not easy to say."

Ye Zijin was puzzled for a moment why Feng Qixia was looking for her. Seeing that she was not moving, Feng Qixia half-jokingly said: "Miss Ye is afraid that I will harm you, but you are much better off than He Manling, with Boss Meng's backing, Who dares to trouble you, I am just a little singer, and I will rely on Boss Meng to take care of me in the future, so feel free to come with me."

Ye Zijin smiled to hide the doubt in his eyes, and said, "Miss Feng was joking, I'll go with you."

Feng Qixia brought Ye Zijin to her exclusive dressing room. The lounge was very spacious and tidy. There were long rows of brightly colored dance clothes, and the hollowed-out, carved and gold-painted dressing table was decorated with all kinds of colorful clothes. tiara.The scarlet curtains were drawn tightly, and the walls were white with crystal chandeliers.

Feng Qixia went to the mirror and trimmed her curly hair, then went to the coffee table and poured two cups of coffee, took one of the cups and walked towards Ye Zijin, "Miss Ye, you are welcome, sooner or later you will be the hostess of the big stage , please sit down."

Ye Zijin forced a smile, took the coffee and thanked her.

She and Feng Qixia sat down on the purple velvet sofa, Ye Zijin always felt a little awkward.It stands to reason that this is the first time she has met Feng Qixia. Not only is Feng Qixia not unfamiliar with her, but she is also very familiar with her. She was a little surprised to drag her to her exclusive dressing room for a conversation as soon as they met.

"Miss Feng came here for something? Please tell me directly." Ye Zijin thought for a moment and decided to ask first, otherwise a sociable woman like Feng Qixia would definitely chat with her in circles before getting down to business.

Feng Qixia was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "I've heard that Ms. Ye is smart and shrewd, but I didn't expect to be so quick-spoken. Since you asked me so, I'll just say it straight. You don't need to waste your lips when talking to smart people."

Feng Qixia sighed again, and said with a sad expression: "You also know that I used to have a close relationship with Young Master Feng, but now that the big stage has changed hands, I'm afraid that I would offend Boss Meng when I was with Young Master Feng earlier. I would also like to ask Ms. Ye to say a few words for me. The little girl just wants to continue singing on the big stage. My old club, Paramount, will definitely not want me anymore..."

Feng Qixia said with tears in her eyes, she turned her face away, pulled out the silk from the button and wiped it.Ye Zijin had seen pictorials of films starring Feng Qixia. Most of the films she starred in were bitter dramas. Today, seeing her acting skills really lived up to her reputation, she shed tears as soon as she said it. It broke my heart.When a beauty sheds tears, men will not bear it, but Ye Zijin is a woman, so naturally she doesn't like the idea of ​​pear blossoms bringing rain.

Ye Zijin comforted: "Miss Feng, you worry too much. You are the pillar of the big stage, and your position is unshakable. Both the old master and the new master will value you very much. You don't have to worry about your future."

Feng Qixia's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was gratitude in her eyes, "Ms. Ye can say that, and I feel relieved, but some time ago, Young Master Feng was preparing a movie for me, and everything was done, just waiting for the filming to start. Unexpectedly, Young Master Feng... Now because of the funding problem, the film matter has been put on hold..."

Ye Zijin understood, Feng Qixia wanted her to be a lobbyist, and persuaded Meng Haoxiang to continue investing to help her make this movie.

"I understand Miss Feng's feelings very well. After all, no one wants to waste all the previous hard work. It's just that this is a matter of the big stage of neon clothes. I'm just an outsider, so it's not convenient for me to comment. If this movie is really good, I believe that Boss Meng will continue to invest, and Ms. Feng must trust Boss Meng's vision." Ye Zijin thought about it secretly, thinking that this remark was enough to express her position, that is, she did not want to participate in it.

Feng Qixia looked a little disappointed, but she still politely said some words of thanks, and suddenly she changed the subject and said, "Miss Ye, since you are a businessman, we might as well make a deal."

Ye Zijin was still smiling when she saw Feng Qixia, and the jewel flower brooch was shining brightly, just as radiant as she was on the stage just now.

"What deal?" Ye Zijin didn't know what Feng Qixia meant.

Feng Qixia pursed her lips, caressed her slender and fair neck with her jade hand, and said in a low voice: "I know a secret, as long as you can invite Boss Meng out for a meal for me, I will tell you the secret. I will talk to him face to face about the movie."

Ye Zijin didn't like the feeling of being led by the nose, and said a little displeased: "How did Miss Feng know that I would be interested in your so-called secret?"

Feng Qixia smiled even brighter, and said: "You will be interested, what if I say that this secret is related to Boss Meng and Wang Luqiu?"

Ye Zijin's heart trembled, Wang Luqiu and Meng Haoxiang, how could these two people who had no connection at all get involved together, Ye Zijin suspected that Feng Qixia was playing tricks to achieve her goal.

Seeing that she seemed suspicious, Feng Qixia reminded her: "Miss Ye, since Boss Meng is able to deal with gangs, business circles, and politics with ease, do you think he will be a simple man? Some secrets that have not been told to you are also belonging to the family. normal."

Ye Zijin smiled and said calmly: "Miss Wang is dead, do you know how important this secret is? Even if there is anything between Boss Meng and Miss Wang, it is a thing of the past, please stop talking about it, Miss Feng The deceased may have a disturbed conscience."

Feng Qixia shook her head and said with emotion: "Miss Ye's kindness is beyond the reach of ordinary women, but this secret is really so important, don't you want to know the truth about Wang Luqiu's murder?"

Ye Zijin's mind exploded, the incident of Wang Luqiu being shot and killed at Wusong Wharf has not been resolved yet, and the murderer could not be found for a long time, so the police station had no choice but to let it go.At that time, she was a little surprised why this matter calmed down so quickly. Anyway, Wang Luqiu was already the most popular singer of Paramount at that time. Her death should have attracted more attention, but the newspapers only reported it for a few days. Follow-up developments in this case will be published again.Listening to Feng Qixia's words now, all kinds of doubts resurfaced in her mind.

Ye Zijin pretended to be indifferent to guard against fraud, and said: "At that time, there were different opinions about Miss Wang's death, and there is still no conclusion. How could Miss Feng know that this secret must be true? If it is just hearsay, I can do it myself." Go read those lace newspapers. What's more, if you know the truth, instead of reporting to the police station, you will come to negotiate a deal with me, Miss Feng, do you want me to suspect that you intend to cover up the real culprit?"

Seeing Ye Zijin questioning her in turn, Feng Qixia didn't panic, she covered her lips and smiled twice, and said: "Miss Ye is really eloquent, but I kindly reminded her to be framed, I really can't afford to offend Miss Ye." Open your mouth. Let me tell you the truth. This secret is absolutely true. Wang Luqiu’s death is related to Boss Meng. After the incident is completed, I will send the secret and evidence. As for why you didn’t report it to the police department, you know, I A weak woman alone, how dare she offend these big men, I don't want to lose my life because of it."

Ye Zijin was startled, Wang Luqiu's death was related to Meng Haoxiang, but it was unlikely.

Seeing that she was hesitant, Feng Qixia sighed, took a sip of coffee, and said softly: "Poor Lu Qiu has a good sister, and I still don't know how my sister died. When that girl interviewed me , I also want to know from me who her sister has close contacts with. It's a pity that I have to save my life, so how could I tell her this."

"Then why do you want to tell me?" Ye Zijin said coldly.

Feng Qixia gently put down the porcelain cup, and looked at Ye Zijin with a smile in her eyes, "Because I know Miss Ye is a smart person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons, even if you knew the secret, you wouldn't do anything."

"Okay, I agree to this deal with Ms. Feng." Ye Zijin thought that it was just for Meng Haoxiang to come out for a meal. As for whether to continue investing in the movie Feng Qixia mentioned, Meng Haoxiang had the final say.The murder of Wang Luqiu is still a mystery. Regardless of whether what Feng Qixia said is true or not, she also wants to know what kind of secret it is.

When Ye Zijin returned to her seat, a new song and dance had already started for a while.On the stage, a group of dancers in red dresses dance enthusiastic and cheerful Cancan dance. The costumes are luxurious and eye-catching. The heads of the dancers are decorated with colorful feathers, and they swing lively with their feet and legs. It is a blooming rose.

"Why have you been there for so long? You seem to be in a bad mood." Meng Haoxiang approached Ye Zijin and asked with concern.

Ye Zijin pulled his lips and smiled, "It's okay, I guess it's because of the smell of perfume here."

Meng Haoxiang embraced her shoulders, and whispered in her ear: "Would you like to wear some perfume tonight?"

Ye Zijin blushed, pushed Meng Haoxiang away, and said, "Why are you becoming less and less serious now? I wonder if you are the same Meng Haoxiang as before."

Meng Haoxiang smiled and said, "I'm like this in front of you. Don't you know it's special treatment? Back then, Meng Haoxiang was just a gangster, but now Meng Haoxiang is Boss Ye's fiancé. Does this count as the value of husband and wife?"

Ye Zijin gave him a disdainful look, "Slick tongue, don't take advantage of me, I haven't promised you yet."

Meng Haoxiang hugged her tightly, his eyes were full of smiles, and said: "Have you forgotten what I do? If you don't take advantage of such a good deal in front of you, how can I be the boss in the future. You promise me sooner or later." thing……"

While the two were talking, they heard a man's voice behind them, "Boss Meng is now enjoying himself with a beautiful woman. I really envy others."

Ye Zijin turned her head and saw that it was Liang Xiaochuan who came.

"Boss Liang is here, this junior is really rude." Meng Haoxiang stood up and shook hands with Liang Xiaochuan politely.

"I heard that Master Hua is going back to Wuxi to recuperate, so I'm here to practice it for the old man. Why don't you see Master Hua?" Liang Xiaochuan glanced around indicatively.

Meng Haoxiang pulled away the chair next to him and said, "Master Hua was not feeling well during the dinner just now. I have sent someone to take him home to rest. Since Boss Liang is here on the big stage, why don't you sit down and enjoy the singing and dancing." He ordered another glass of wine to be poured.

Liang Xiaochuan didn't refuse, and sat down to watch the song and dance with Meng Haoxiang.

"This big neon clothes stage is magnificent, no worse than Paramount, and there are big stars like Ms. Feng stationed on the stage. Master Feng is really well-intentioned. Alas, it's a pity that he died young. I really don't know Master Feng. What kind of disease did he suffer from, and he became a white-haired person sending a black-haired person..." Liang Xiaochuan sighed.

Ye Zijin knew that Feng Li's death was claimed by Jin'antang to be due to a sudden illness, and Jin'antang blocked the news. No one knew about the civil strife, but at that time Liang Xiaochuan was caught outside Jin'antang. Everything that happened in An Tang was because he knew everything, but he still acted like he didn't know anything. Ye Zijin looked at Liang Xiaochuan's expression of sympathy and regret, and felt that this person was very hypocritical and sinister.

Meng Haoxiang echoed deliberately: "Yes, Master Feng left suddenly. I'm not very familiar with the management of the big stage. I'm afraid it will take a while."

Liang Xiaochuan said with a smile: "It's hard work for those who are able. An outstanding young man like you, Boss Meng, naturally has to take on important responsibilities. Lord Hua values ​​you so much, so don't let him live up to his old man's expectations. With all the painstaking efforts, those of us in the gang must follow the lead of Jin'an Hall."

"That's for sure, thank you, Boss Liang, for your suggestion." Meng Haoxiang responded politely.

Liang Xiaochuan laughed twice, and patted Meng Haoxiang on the shoulder, with the attitude of an elder, "In the future, just ask me for help, don't be polite to me. I admire Master Hua very much, you are his Successor, I will naturally take care of you."

Meng Haoxiang picked up the wine glass and respectfully said: "Since Boss Liang thinks highly of me as a junior, I would like to toast you to express my gratitude."

After the two drank, Meng Haoxiang said, "I heard that Boss Liang likes fishing very much. I wonder if this junior can ask Boss Liang some fishing skills, because I am also very interested in fishing recently."

Liang Xiaochuan stared intently at the red skirt flying on the stage, and said with a smile, "I don't have any skills when it comes to fishing, just one word, wait. If you want to catch a fish, you must wait patiently."

Meng Haoxiang nodded in agreement, and said: "Boss Liang really hits the nail on the head, but I think there is another skill, which is to put a long line, isn't there a saying that puts a long line to catch big fish?"

Liang Xiaochuan pointed at Meng Haoxiang with a smile, and said, "Boss Meng is really funny, no wonder he can capture Miss Ye's heart."

Meng Haoxiang waved his hands and sighed: "My little ability is useless against fish. It seems that I don't have the patience to wait for the big fish. Who told me that I was born with a quick temper, not as good-tempered as Lord Hua. If I can't catch fish , I’m afraid I can only blow up the pond, so that none of the fish that escaped the net will survive.”

After Meng Haoxiang finished speaking, he smiled, and Liang Xiaochuan also smiled, but the smile was a little stiff.

The singing and dancing continued, the beautiful girls sang and danced showing their snow-white thighs, the cheerful music was accompanied by warm cheers, and the whole hall was brightly lit, fascinated.

Ye Zijin watched Meng Haoxiang and Liang Xiaochuan talking and laughing happily, and had to admire Meng Haoxiang's endurance.They are obviously two opponents who have their own thoughts, but they can talk and drink peacefully.Under Ye Zijin's seemingly calm appearance, there may be a more turbulent undercurrent hidden.
