"Third brother, time is up." Alai took out his pocket watch from his body and looked at the time.
"Wait." Xia Wenqiao crossed his legs, put his right hand on his legs, and beat the rhythmically.
What was singing on the stage was "Wang Zuo Broken Arm".
Alai nodded, no longer making noise.
He would have been making noise before and said a few words like "Why should Cheng Qianfan ask his third brother to wait for him?" Now he won't say these words anymore.
He is not a fool. The power of "Mr. Xiao Cheng" is the most direct feeling of these people.
Alay stepped back to the side and continued to listen to the opera. He shook his head and hummed the opera in his mouth.
Recently, the third brother has become obsessed with this drama. He has listened to it more than a dozen times by just accompanying the third brother to listen to the drama, so he can sing all the lyrics of the opera.
...
At this time, three black cars were parked in line and downstairs.
Three men holding short guns came out of the car in front of their heads, looking around vigilantly, while the bodyguards in the car behind surrounded them and guarded the car in the middle.
"Third brother, Cheng Qianfan is here and brings a woman." Alai took a look and walked over to report in a low voice, "It's the woman named Ying Huaizhen."
Xia Wenqiao showed a smile on his face, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. Is he planning to discuss cooperation well?
Cheng Qianfan is now the "Mr. Xiao Cheng", which is incomparable to the "Mr. Xiao Cheng" two years ago.
"Where is Xiaoying?" Xia Wenqiao asked with a frown.
"Miss is there," said Alay, "Miss said, since she may not be needed, don't bother her."
Xia Wenqiao looked in the direction of Alai's finger and saw his girl taking a photo on her neck with a camera hanging around her neck.
He couldn't help but hold his forehead.
He had a headache for this sister.
Xia Xiaoying likes opera, not only likes to listen, but also likes to sing music. She sneaked into the Zhao family class in Yingbin Building two years ago. To this day, Chunxiang of the Zhao family class is his own sister Xia Wenqiao. This is a half-public secret in the world.
Xia Wenqiao doesn't like girls showing up in public and sing operas, and often scolds them.
Xia Xiaoying's answer is evident:
She likes to sing operas, put on costumes, and sing operas on stage. Looking at the foreigners in the audience, she feels very satisfied and feels that being a Chinese is rare to be superior to others.
"Go and invite the lady to come." Xia Wenqiao said.
...
"They two of them thought they met too late." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"She is naughty and laughed at me." Xia Wenqiao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Xia Xiaoying and Ying Huaizhen chatted for a few words, and the two women actually had a great conversation.
Xia Xiaoying showed Ying Huaizhen the photos she took and invited her to take pictures aside. Ying Huaizhen glanced at Mr. Xiao Cheng and saw Cheng Qianfan nodding. Then she went to the side to take photos with Xia Xiaoying and chatted carefully.
...
"Mr. Xiao Cheng" and "Hei Sanlang" exchanged a greeting for a moment, and soon got to the point.
"Brother Cheng." Xia Wenqiao's face was gloomy, "Did you think I, Xia Wenqiao, behave like a fool?"
Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea lightly, but was not angry because of Xia Wenqiao's attitude. "Don't worry, Brother Xia, what do you mean?"
"My people go and the old guy go straight to the top, your people hide behind you, and finally take action." Xia Wenqiao snorted coldly, "When the time comes, both of you and Mr. Xiao Cheng will take advantage of the fisherman."
"No, no, no." Cheng Qianfan shook his finger, "Brother Xia, this is a bad statement."
He smiled slightly, "First of all, if you really count it, I am a soldier, you are a thief!"
He looked at Xia Wenqiao with a smile on his lips, "Of course you are rushing in front, and I am waiting for an opportunity behind."
As he said that, he shook his head, "Don't worry, Brother Xia, listen to me finish your words."
Xia Wenqiao looked at him coldly.
"Besides, 'both losses'?" Cheng Qianfan shook his head and smiled, "Brother Xia, you are too arrogant. It would be amazing if you can break Zhang Xiaolin's tooth."
Xia Wenqiao showed embarrassment and anger, as if he wanted to escape from anger because he was pointed out in person so mercilessly.
"If 'Mr. Xiao Cheng's man today humiliated me, Xia Wenqiao, for the sake of entertainment, then..."
"Brother Xia, please be calm." Cheng Qianfan got up and poured tea for Xia Wenqiao himself, "I haven't finished speaking yet."
As he said that, he sat down, took out the cigarette clip, and signaled to Xia Wenqiao. The latter snorted coldly, and Cheng Qianfan smiled, took out a cigarette himself, lit it on his own, and took a sip of the cigarette lightly.
The smoke was exhaled from his nose, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Your Brother Xia San can break away a tooth from that old guy, Cheng Qianfan, I, was working hard, and I guess I could only barely make Zhang Xiaolin lose another tooth."
When Xia Wenqiao heard Cheng Qianfan say this, his face looked much better.
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan got up and went straight to the window. He pointed to the extremely busy pier in the distance, "Brother Xia, let's see."
...
Xia Wenqiao was a little confused, so he walked to the window to look at it. He thought something had happened, but he didn't see anything abnormal.
Looking at Xia Wenqiao who looked at him with inquisitive and puzzled eyes, Cheng Qianfan raised his lips, "This is all money."
After Shanghai opened its port, this place is only one river away from the Puxi Concession. Although it requires ferrying between the river, it is closest to the distance and convenient water transportation. (PS1)
Therefore, foreign companies built docks and opened factories here.
For example, Yingshangxiang Pig Iron Factory, Japanese Shanghuang Shipbuilding Station, British American Tobacco Factory, Yingshang Maosheng Yarn Factory, Nihua Yarn Factory, etc.
There are also warehouses such as the British merchant Taigu Pudong Store, the Taigu Huatong Store, the French merchant Yongxing Store, the Desert Ruiji Foreign Store turbulence pool, etc., which are also here.
Previously, the Nanzhang House of the National Government's steamship Merchants Bureau was also here. After the fall of Shanghai, the warehouse was also occupied by the Japanese and requisitioned by the Japanese military.
"Why did Zhang Xiaolin attack me, and why did he target you?" Cheng Qianfan pointed to the Huangpu River in the distance and asked Xia Wenqiao.
"Black market, freight." Xia Wenqiao said, "Zhang Xiaolin finally couldn't help but take action."
Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded.
Xia Wenqiao and Zhang Xiaolin belong to the Qing Gang, but strictly speaking, Xia Wenqiao was the one who was far away in Hong Kong at this time.
Zhang Xiaolin had long been envious of the black market transactions that Xia Wenqiao had, especially the freight channels. He did not dare to take action before taking Du Yuesheng's powerful forces.
Now that Du Yuesheng is avoiding disaster in Hong Kong, Zhang Xiaolin feels that he has the support of the Japanese. He has been salivating for a long time and can't help but take action.
Recently, Xia Wenqiao's black market business has been in a row, with goods robbed and the cargo ship being thrown out bombs that unloaded the fuse.
Xia Wenqiao naturally knew who the main messenger behind the scenes was.
Although he is also the number one figure in the Shanghai Qing Gang, he is indeed far from strength in front of Zhang Xiaolin, so he is worried about this.
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan personally called Xia Wenqiao. Faced with Zhang Xiaolin, the common enemy, the two had the small frictions before.
...
At this moment, a large ocean-going ship that had already landed began to drop off, and crowds of people were surging on the dock.
A passenger walked past the road below the theater with his bags of luggage.
"Sister Zhen, I'll take a photo for you." Xia Xiaoying signaled Ying Huaizhen to lean against the wooden railing on the second floor and said yelling.
