Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 76
Ye Zijin saw that Xiao Wu's hands and feet had been tied up, and there were a few bruises on her face. She didn't expect Meng Haoxiang to let her see Xiao Wu by coincidence today, but she had no choice but to take Xiao Wu away immediately.

"You beat him? Didn't you say that people in Jin'antang don't know how to beat people? Even if he owes you gambling debts, you shouldn't treat him like this." Ye Zijin questioned.

Seeing Ye Zijin's sullen expression, a man next to him hurriedly explained: "Miss Ye, we really don't beat people for no reason, just because this kid cheated on him in the casino and was caught by the brothers present. That's why he was beaten up. But when Brother Cheng found out, he let him go and locked him up here. If he dared to cheat in our casino before, he would chop off his fingers."

Ye Zijin glanced at Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu lowered his head dejectedly, not daring to look up at Ye Zijin, obviously what this man said was true.

Ye Zijin suddenly felt angry and helpless in her heart, but she couldn't leave Xiao Wu alone, so she had no choice but to say to the guards: "Your manager Chen said that he will guarantee Shen Xiaowu's safety, and Boss Meng has promised to leave Xiao Wu tomorrow. Let him go, so you can't beat him again, and I will pay his debts."

When the guards heard Manager Chen and Boss Meng, they nodded in agreement.

Ye Zijin moved closer to Xiao Wu, and said in a low voice, "If you bear with it, you will be able to come out tomorrow."

With tears in his eyes, Xiao Wu blew his nose and said, "One thousand oceans, it's not clear if you sold me out, I'm such a fucking bastard..."

Ye Zijin sighed softly, "No one would want to sell you, just work hard when you come back, if you continue to gamble, I will drive you out of the shop."

Xiao Wu quickly shook his head and said: "I won't gamble anymore, I won't gamble again, I face the wall thinking about my mistakes, regretting..."

"Okay, I'll go back first, you should reflect on it here." Ye Zijin walked out of the warehouse after speaking, the sunlight outside made her a little bit blindfolded, and the two men who came with her invited her into the car.When Ye Zijin thought of going to work at Baohui Foreign Firm, she felt uncomfortable.

On the first day when she went to work at Baohui Foreign Firm, before Ye Zijin could speak, the waitress took her to find an assistant to arrange a seat for her.When Ye Zijin passed Meng Haoxiang's office, he was surprised to find that Meng Haoxiang was already sitting inside and reading a newspaper.She knew that Meng Haoxiang was seriously injured, and it was impossible for him to be discharged from the hospital in just one day. Even if he wanted to make money, he didn't have to work so hard.Ye Zijin shook his head, followed the assistant to his office.

In the morning, Ye Zijin finished translating a telegram from England. She took the translated telegram to report to Meng Haoxiang. As soon as she left the house, she saw Qian Jiang and Qu Xiangtian brought someone into Meng Haoxiang's office, waiting for them After the three of them entered, two men stood guard outside the office door.

Ye Zijin had no choice but to sit back on the chair and wait idly. She was a little worried about the tailor's shop. There was not enough manpower in the shop, but now she still had to come to Baohui foreign company to do work. It seemed that she had to go back to the shop to catch up on work at night.Thinking of the thousand oceans, Ye Zijin felt sad, as if a heavy rock was pressing on her heart.

After half an hour, Ye Zijin heard movement in the corridor, she looked up and saw Qian Jiang and Qu Xiangtian leading the strange man out.After they all went downstairs, Ye Zijin took the translation again and went to find Meng Haoxiang. She was eager to know if there was anything else to do today. Enough to keep her busy for a while.

After knocking on the door three times, Ye Zijin pushed the door open and entered after getting a response.

"Boss Meng, this is a telegram from England. I have already translated it. Is there any other translation you want me to do?" Ye Zijin put the translation on Meng Haoxiang's desk, and inadvertently looked down at the paper beside the desk. There was a small ball of bloody cotton yarn in the basket, and she guessed in her heart that the person who came just now was a doctor.As for why Meng Haoxiang was rushed out of the hospital, and why he secretly asked the doctor to come to Baohui foreign company to change his medicine, Ye Zijin couldn't understand it.She couldn't see through Meng Haoxiang, she just felt that he didn't do things according to common sense, and no one knew what he would do next.

Meng Haoxiang was wearing an ivory white shirt today, with a black tweed vest over it. The collar was straight, which made his face strong and sharp.He looked the same as usual, except that his lips were a little pale, a blue beard was faintly visible on his chin, and his face was a little tired.

He took a look at the translated telegram, and said to Ye Zijin, "There is nothing else I need to translate."

Ye Zijin couldn't hide her joy and said, "Then can I go back to the shop?"

Meng Haoxiang glanced at her face lightly, seeing her in high spirits, he felt a little displeased, how could she act so relaxed, without even a trace of concern or greetings.

"No, you have other things to do." Meng Haoxiang said coldly.

Ye Zijin was slightly startled, "What else is there? Didn't you just say that there is nothing to translate?"

Meng Haoxiang took out a pen from the pocket of his suit, and pushed it together with a piece of white paper in front of Ye Zijin.

"Pen and paper, take it and write it down." Meng Haoxiang's lips curled up into a smile, and then he backed up his smile to change into his usual indifferent expression.

Ye Zijin picked up the paper and pen suspiciously, not understanding what Meng Haoxiang wanted her to do.

I only heard Meng Haoxiang say unhurriedly: "There are some things that you need to do, and you should write them down one by one. Boss Qiao of the Jardine Shipping Company will have his [-]th birthday tomorrow. You can go to Qilin Pavilion to pick some calligraphy, paintings or antiques suitable for birthday celebrations." , you should understand this. Then go to Xian Shi Department Store to buy a set of imported French crystal wine glasses and send them to the Bai Mansion. In addition, go to Jinhong Building to choose a few good materials and send them to Secretary-General Zhu’s house. Don’t pick Too plain, his wife likes to wear bright clothes. By the way, you can go to Furui Jewelry to pick out a good-quality pearl necklace and send it to Miss Feng on the big stage of neon clothes..."

The more Ye Zijin wrote, the more he felt something was wrong, and couldn't help but interrupted: "Boss Meng, did you make a mistake? I'm just a translator, not your secretary. Shouldn't Secretary Luo do all these things?"

Meng Haoxiang said seriously: "Isn't it okay? If you don't want to go, I'll fire Secretary Luo right now, and let you take on two jobs and receive double salary. You shouldn't have any objections."

Ye Zijin was at a loss for words for a moment, and her heart was filled with anger, which clearly meant to embarrass her.Ye Zijin suppressed his anger, looked at the newspaper at the corner of the table expressionlessly, and said in a cold voice, "Boss Meng doesn't have to make others lose their jobs because of such a trivial matter, I just go buy it."

It just so happened that the secretary mentioned just now came in. Meng Haoxiang's secretary was a young and fair guy named Luo, who took over from Secretary Sun who was innocently fired last time. He used to be a chief writer in a certain newspaper, and Meng Haoxiang personally recruited him for his excellent handwriting.

Secretary Luo came in holding a stack of books, put the books on Meng Haoxiang's desk respectfully, and said, "Boss Meng, this is the account of the casino last month, including the profits from the Six-Pass Lottery."

Meng Haoxiang took the account book, flipped through it a few times, and said to Secretary Luo: "Put it here first, you can go down."

After Secretary Luo left, Ye Zijin's eyes fell on the account book. Since Xinda Casino opened the six-way lottery, it attracted many people who wanted to get rich overnight, and some people even bought lottery tickets in large quantities in order to win the lottery. It has been reported that someone bought six-tone lottery and went bankrupt and committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Meng Haoxiang saw Ye Zijin standing where he was, and asked, "Go to the accountant to collect the money for shopping, is there any problem? Are you really willing to hold two jobs in order to pay off the debt?"

Ye Zijin raised the corners of her lips, and said coldly: "Boss Meng, I don't have that ability yet, don't worry, I will buy the things you arrange for me to buy. However, I think you should read more newspapers, things like Liutongcai It is harmful to people, although profit is the most important thing in doing business, but you can't use profit to entrap people's lives."

Meng Haoxiang looked at Ye Zijin with great interest, and said calmly: "You think it's all my fault when you say that? I think you overlooked one point. I just opened the six-pass lottery and didn't ask those people to buy it. Besides I kept my promise and paid out bonuses, as for those who broke their fortunes to buy lottery tickets, I can’t control them.”

Ye Zijin picked up the newspaper on the table, pointed to a section and said, "Your casino announces the ten winning lottery tickets on this section every week. There are only eight numbers on each lottery ticket, but the ten numbers from zero to nine can be made up." With many different sequences, the possibility of winning is very small, compared to that little bonus, in the end it is your casino that makes the big bucks, which is simply used to deceive people."

Meng Haoxiang nodded his head pretending to approve, and said in a relaxed tone: "You are right, but there are people who are willing to buy lottery tickets. Casinos make money openly, so how can it be considered a lie? You are talking nonsense here, so you should think about it carefully." Think about when you can pay off the thousand oceans. I've made an exception, so don't push yourself too far." The tone of Meng Haoxiang's last sentence turned from cold to majestic.

Ye Zijin took a deep breath, and cursed inwardly, saying this to Meng Haoxiang was like playing the piano to a cow!
"In this case, I won't talk nonsense with you Boss Meng here, I hope you have a little conscience when looking at the casino's accounts." Ye Zijin didn't change his face, and walked out with the comprador list that he had written down. Qianjiang.

Ye Zijin just said "Hello, Mr. Qian" coldly with a sullen face, then turned and left.

Qian Jiang walked into Meng Haoxiang's office blankly, closed the door, patted the back of his head, and said, "Brother, what's wrong with Ye Zijin? It seems like no one is pleasing to the eye, are you making her angry?"

Meng Haoxiang said disapprovingly: "Who does she think she is, who dares to make irresponsible comments on the casino business, and even taught me a lesson, thinking that she will be great after reading a few books."

Qian Jiang chuckled and said, "Brother, why do you always fight against Ms. Ye? Women are meant to coax you. If you put on a straight face all day long and put on airs for others, it's no wonder she'll take a liking to you."

Meng Haoxiang flipped through the accounts intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Qian Jiang and said, "You seem to understand women very well, why haven't you ever chased a woman before?"

Qian Jiang waved his hands and said, "That's because I don't want to bother with that, and it's better to be alone and happy."

Meng Haoxiang smiled, "You are afraid that you will marry a wife to control your money, that will kill you the most."

Qian Jiang smiled and touched his fat belly, then changed the subject and said, "Brother, we have found the traitor among us."

Meng Haoxiang gave a calm "hmm" and asked again: "It's been dealt with? Did you not disturb the people over there?"

Qian Jiang shook his head and said: "It's a pity that it's a step too late, Feng Li has already sent someone to silence him in advance."

"Don't make this a big deal. When you report to Mr. Hua, just say what was published in the newspaper. I have already said hello to Manling, and she will not leak the secret." Meng Haoxiang put down the account book, got up, walked to the window, and went to the window. A little water was added to a pot of narcissus on the windowsill.

Qian Jiang couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Brother, why didn't you tell Master Hua that it was clear that Feng Li wanted to replace you. He had such a good plan this time, and even specially hired some gangsters outside to ambush you, just to avoid Let you find out. But now that we have found out, you still tried your best to help him cover it up, which is too kind, at least you have to teach him a lesson, otherwise the fourth child and I really can't stand it."

Meng Haoxiang didn't turn around, but just quietly looked at the newly blooming narcissus, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and said: "Wouldn't it be frustrating for the old man to let Master Hua know that he is fighting with me? As for the lesson, you can think about it. He Haven't you fallen in love with Feng Qixia recently?"

Qian Jiang suddenly realized, and said: "Brother, I will arrange this. That kid Feng Li is very conceited. He has always looked down on those bumpkins who fight with guns, and now he is blatantly robbing Commander Lu for women. Hehe, this can be done by Commander Lu." His hand gave him a long memory."

Standing in front of the window, Meng Haoxiang saw Ye Zijin boarded a rickshaw, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Qian Jiangdao: "Have you notified Ah Cheng to let people go?"

Qian Jiang spread his hands together, making a gesture of helplessness, and said: "How can I not remember what the elder brother ordered, I think the only woman who can make you worry about it is Ye Zijin. This Shen Xiaowu put it back early in the morning. As for Miss Ye, big brother, brother, let me tell you the truth, if you really like her, tell her directly, you can only hold her for a while now."

"Oh? Then what do you think should be done?" Meng Haoxiang squinted at Qian Jiang with a smug expression with great interest.

Qian Jiang patted his chest, and said: "This is easy to handle. Find someone with face to act as a matchmaker, and then you buy some things and talk nicely, and then you take it down. Finally, hold a lively wedding banquet and it's over. You If we can't take her down, we'll just tie her up and send her to your home. Those officials in the government don't all like to hide their beauty in a golden house or a silver house."

Meng Haoxiang walked slowly to Qian Jiang's side, patted his shoulder meaningfully, sighed, and said with a smile: "Get lost."
