Chapter 41 Dirty Deals

Just then, there was applause from the corner.

Everyone followed the voice and looked over, only to see a young man who looked like a Bodhisattva in the temple, with an affectionate smile on his face and eyes, sitting upright and applauding.

Chen Jinjun was also a little surprised. Lei Yishan didn't know his true identity, so why did he stand up to support her at this time?

Cai Ying also narrowed her eyes and recalled who he was in her mind.

Before anyone could question it, Lei Yishan spoke first: "I think Dong Chen's proposal is very good."

He nodded and smiled at Chen Jinjun from a distance.

Chen Jinjun also nodded politely to greet him.

"The Lei family has a theater under its name and famous actors. When the Chen Dong family's theater is built, can you leave a few shows for me?"

This means standing up and supporting Chen Jinjun openly.

Cai Ying looked Lei Yishan up and down and found that she had no impression of this person.

Logically speaking, no? This man's appearance is so eye-catching. If he saw it once, he shouldn't have no impression at all.

So Cai Ying didn't take Lei Yishan seriously.

Because of Lei Yishan's initial influence, many businessmen who had always been reluctant to deal with Cai Ying expressed their willingness to invest money in Chen Jinjun's proposal. For a while, Cai Ying waited for Chen Jinjun, his face changing unexpectedly.

Chen Jinjun was also surprised that Lei Yishan would stand up and speak for her. He just made a gesture to her. How could he dare to support her when she was being criticized?

But I have to say, his behavior is really heartwarming.

Only Lei Yishan knew that he was gambling. In the past, it was Lei Yihai who came to the banquet. This time, he finally got Lei Yi locked up and began to try to accept the Lei family.

He was betting on whether this time, he would be able to change his current situation in the Lei family.

A pair of peach blossom eyes were full of determination, and his eyes met Chen Jinjun across most of the hall.

Chen Jinjun nodded, with a comforting smile on his face.

Lei Yishan was startled, she actually understood his thoughts?

His back felt cold, but a fire of hope slowly ignited in his heart.

Huo Tingyu also saw Lei Yishan. He frowned. He felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Who is he?" Huo Tingyu asked Chen Jinjun.

"From the Lei family."

Huo Tingyu looked at Lei Yishan and thought for a moment: "The Lei family of the Qinghong Society?"

"Do you know the Qinghong Society?" Chen Jinjun was surprised. In her opinion, Huo Tingyu didn't seem to care about this aspect.

Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun in disbelief: "How could the largest gang in the world not know about it back then?"

His tone was a little aggrieved, so Chen Jinjun had no choice but to nod and look at Cai Ying.

Cai Ying's face was so angry that Chen Jinjun didn't even take him as the president of the Yongzhou Chamber of Commerce in his eyes.

And that man, Cai Ying will not let them have an easy time in Yongzhou in the future.

Cai Ying gritted her teeth angrily and shook her whole body, looking quite funny.

On the other hand, Xu Fanming relied on his good skills to eavesdrop on the conversations among the servants and sneaked into Cai Ying's study.

He made a leap and jumped directly in through the window.

Xu Fanming rummaged quietly, trying not to miss a corner.

Finally, he saw a ledger and hurried to the window, using the bright light in the front hall to read the ledger.

Some of the names had poppy patterns painted under them. Xu Fanming was not sure at first that they represented the cigarette business.

Until he saw the poppy pattern painted under each of Deji's special oolong strokes, he was sure that this was Cai Ying's unique logo for the tobacco business.

Deji...Rong family...Ge family...

Xu Fanming wrote down the names one by one. The businessmen recorded here all have quite a reputation in Yongzhou.

He secretly took a breath and swallowed. Every transaction here was a crime. So many transactions showed how much opium had flowed into Yongzhou over the years, and how much shady money had ended up in Cai Ying's pocket.

This Cai Ying would really do anything for money. Xu Fanming wished he could go to the banquet and kill Cai Ying right now to end the anger in his heart.

Xu Fanming took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, and quietly returned to the banquet.

At this moment, the banquet has ended the tense stage. Chen Jinjun held a cup and discussed the plan to build a theater with other businessmen who supported his proposal.

"Dong Chen's family left me a separate street. It's a good location to open a food street in that area." An old lady with gray hair patted Chen Jinjun.

"Who are you?" Chen Jinjun looked at the old lady kindly and asked.

The old lady looked very capable. She took out a business card from her handbag and handed it to Chen Jinjun: "This is my business card. When my boss has time, we will meet up and talk in detail."

Chen Jinjun took the business card, with a big "Nian" printed on it. She was a little surprised: "Nian's name?"

The old woman nodded: "It's getting late. I'll leave first after making friends with my boss."

After saying that, he turned around and left the banquet.

Chen Jinjun looked at the business card in his hand, and he didn't expect that the idea he came up with to fight Cai Ying would actually get him such a famous customer.

Nian started his business by making pastries. His ancestor was the royal chef of the palace during the Qianlong period. Over the years, Nian has not only limited himself to pastries, but also covers everything about food.

She put away the business card and continued to discuss cooperation issues with other businessmen who were interested in this business.

Lei Yishan looked at her from the side, feeling nervous and expectant.

I'm nervous because this is the first business deal I've made since I regained control of the Lei family, and I'm excited because from the looks of it, both Chen Jinjun and the partners in this deal are well-established businessmen in Yongzhou.

Chen Jinjun noticed that Xu Fanming had returned to the banquet, told the businessmen around him to wait a moment, and walked to Xu Fanming's side.

Xu Fanming saw Chen Jinjun's searching eyes and nodded to her almost invisible.

"Are you sure you can find it?" Chen Jinjun stood side by side with him, looking at the various people in the hall, and asked him pretending to be chatting.

"As long as he does it, there will definitely be traces." Xu Fanming lowered his head and covered his face with the brim of his hat.

Chen Jinjun glanced at him curiously: "Why are you so angry?"

Xu Fanming lowered his voice: "You would never guess what else they were doing."

"What?" Chen Jinjun's heart tightened. Isn't it just oolong tea?

Xu Fanming took a deep breath and was about to tell Chen Jinjun when he saw Nie Shi running over in a hurry.

"My boss." Nie Shi looked at Chen Jinjun anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jinjun looked at Nie Shi, feeling that he must have discovered something at the banquet.

"There's something wrong with drinking." Nie Shi said firmly.

Chen Jinjun and Xu Fanming looked at each other.

"Who provided the wine for today's banquet?" Chen Jinjun looked at the noisy wine merchant's seat.

Nie Shi shook his head: "I just went to the wine area over there to get a glass and took a sip. It tasted wrong. It tasted the same as the special oolong described by shopkeeper Zheng."

Chen Jinjun took a deep breath and was about to ask Huo Tingyu when he heard Xu Fanming say quietly: "Rong family."
