"Brother, the unmarried son-in-law is just a ball, and he is not his biological son. Li Cunzhi is in charge of heaven and earth, and he cannot be involved in the feuds of the world. He should know what 'the strong dragon will not suppress the local snake'."

"Besides, when we kill the general, we are not trying to get his son-in-law. The purpose is to kill a few of his men, regain face, and get compensation."

"The third brother is right. We are not going after his earthly roots. We are going to ask for disability compensation, water protection fees, and just ask him to hand over a few murderers."

"No, news came from the inside this morning. This person named Chen Tianhua himself has excellent martial arts skills, extraordinary courage, and cherishes talents very much. He will not make friends easily."

"It is said that Li Cunzhi dotes on this little son-in-law. Last year, on the Hangzhou Canal, there was a slight misunderstanding over the arrest of a ship. Li Cunzhi's deacon personally led the guards to the scene and beat the soldiers with twenty army sticks each.

The flowers are all blooming and I can’t get out of bed for more than a month.”

"..."

There was a lot of quarreling at the scene. Jin Dalai was holding a thick and long pipe in his hand, taking a few sips from time to time, and moving back and forth like a trapped animal.

"Boss!"

Suddenly, a man who looked like a master in a long robe and gold-rimmed glasses stood up and said:

"There is some truth in their arguments. In my personal opinion, it is better to be more cautious, be polite before fighting, and send a 'hero post' first to invite the third uncle of the Li family to negotiate."

"If he dares to come to the appointment, it means that he has the confidence to come. We can try to discuss the conditions first and feel his background before making a conclusion."

"If he doesn't dare to come to the appointment, it means he has no confidence, or he is just a pewter gun. How about we go to the door again and start an investigation?"

Jin Dalai thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Okay, let's follow Master's idea and send someone to pay homage to the 'hero's post' immediately."

"good…"

The leaders retreated to make other preparations.

…

After Chen Tianhua's meeting in the morning, he went straight to the Henghu Hotel where the dealers stayed, visited several dealers, some renewed their distribution contracts, and happily prepared to return with the goods from the previous year.

Regarding the general distribution in the Shanghai market, Chen Tianhua had a full exchange with Zhou Wenbo of Shanghai Huaqiang Trading Co., Ltd.

Both parties discussed their respective views on the annual sales tasks, the general dealer's deductions and profits, settlement methods, etc.

Finally, the two parties signed a letter of intent agreement, and the specific terms will be finalized after Manager Zhou returns to Shanghai and reports to the company directors.

The deadline given by Shuangqi Kiln for signing the contract is the end of February in the 28th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, which is the end of February after the new year.

At noon, Chen Tianhua held a banquet at Hengchao Restaurant to practice for several dealers.

When I got back to the office, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Facing Chen Tianhua, who had a red face and smelled of alcohol, Hu Yaoxiang lovingly handed over the soaked Dahongpao.

After drinking the warm but not scalding tea, he felt warm and heart-warming. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her.

Hu Yaoxiang couldn't help but hold his generous hand and rest her head gently on his shoulder.

Chen Tianhua did not deliberately shy away from this kind of intimate gesture, which was done by a sister but not a sister.

Women are naturally weak, and they often need a man's shoulder to lean on to give them some courage and comfort.

Chen Tianhua took out the pipe and held it in his mouth. Hu Yaoxiang struck a match to light it and then smiled.

He nodded and smiled.

While the beautiful eyes were expressing their love, a heavy and chaotic footsteps approached. The two of them were sitting at attention, and Wu Laosan came in with the guard.

"Mr. Hua, the guard just received a red post from someone."

Chen Tianhua took it over and opened it. It was a ‘hero post’:

Mr. Chen, let’s have a talk at Keyandang Lake Water Village at three o’clock tomorrow. I’d like to invite Jinda!

At three quarters of noon, isn't this the time when criminals were beheaded in ancient times?

There is murderous intent in the words.

"It's a message from the heroes of the Hushao Clan, inviting me to an appointment." Chen Tianhua was surprised after seeing it, and he was mostly awake from the wine.

"What? This is obviously the Hongmen Banquet, we can't go." Wu Laosan and Hu Yaoxiang said almost in unison.

"Old Wu, this matter is not a trivial matter. It's not as simple as saying nothing. Go quickly and notify Lin Gen, Ah Hua, Ah Fan and other stewards to come to the conference room for everyone to discuss it."

"Well..." Wu Laosan moved forward to arrange for someone to notify him.

"Hua Zhi, this is not the time to show off as a hero. You can't be impulsive. Let's ignore him." Hu Yaoxiang hugged his arm and begged.

"No, no, please stop talking, Sister Yaoxiang, let me think calmly and come up with a countermeasure."

The room fell silent instantly. Hu Yaoxiang hugged his arm tightly and leaned her head on his shoulder in silence. Chen Tianhua was sipping his pipe and thinking.

After about half an hour, Lin Gen and the others ran into the conference room out of breath.

Chen Tianhua, who was sitting at the top of the table, looked solemn. He raised his eyes and looked around everyone, saying:

"Everyone knows about the hero post, so I won't go into details here. As the saying goes: What is supposed to come will definitely come. It is better to come early than to come late. After careful consideration, I will announce my decision below. Please do not raise any questions or doubts.

Opposition.”

There is silence now, everyone is waiting for the young master's decision.

"I decided to go to my appointment on time tomorrow!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed.

Lin Gen wanted to stand up and just raised his hand to say something, but the words that reached his throat were suppressed by Chen Tianhua's gesture and majestic gaze.

When everyone saw this, no one dared to say anything.

"I understand the reason why everyone wants to dissuade me. It's nothing more than the Hongmen Banquet. I've thought about this before and after. If I don't go to the appointment, I'll be showing weakness to the other party and playing into their hands. They will come to ask for compensation and so on.

"

"They are retaliating against us overtly and covertly. We will be miserable and unable to take precautions. The company will not be able to continue its business. At that time, I will be the fish and the flesh, and they will be the knife."

"Everyone will definitely talk about my father-in-law. In fact, under normal circumstances, the army will not easily go against a gang with more than 100,000 followers, and if there is a suspicion of using public weapons for personal use, he will definitely let me

Let’s negotiate with Hongmen first.”

"I went to the appointment on time, but the Hushao Gang was a little scrupulous, thinking that I had a trump card in my hand. They didn't dare to do anything to me. They just made some conditions, and I just happened to touch their trump card. Please don't worry, I will definitely

If you don’t know how to act blindly, please do as I tell you.”

Seeing that Chen Tianhua was talking about this, everyone had no choice but to collectively nod.

"Ling Gen has brought twenty skilled brothers with weapons hidden on their bodies. At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, we will go by boat. Old Wu and others will stick to the kiln. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Everyone said in unison.

"Let's all prepare separately. Ah Hua will stay here."

Everyone exited, and Ah Hua followed Chen Tianhua back to the office on the second floor for a private interview.
Chapter completed!
