Qing Mulan couldn't care less about the fishing rod and quickly caught up with Tang Xiaobei.
"Xiaobei Xiaobei, do you want to go find sir?"
"No, I'm going to find Hong Er!"
Tang Xiaobei said without looking back.
"Go directly to Hong Er, but even if we break up with each other directly, Mr. Hong's face will not look good." Qing Mulan advised.
"Hong Er is trying to seduce Xianggong and the court, but I still care whether Hong Taoping is good-looking or not?"
Tang Xiaobei said coldly: "As the leader of the shipyard, Hong Taoping doesn't even know the character of his subordinates or what they are doing. This is dereliction of duty!
If it weren't for the fact that he's quite diligent in doing things, I would have dealt with him too!"
"Hong Er did something too much, but Xiaobei, you also know that Mr. Hong values Mr. Hong very much. Otherwise, you should talk to Mr. Qing." Qing Mulan continued to persuade.
In fact, this matter is either big or small.
According to the way powerful people behave, even if they seize the other party's leverage, few people will break up directly. Instead, they will use the leverage to blackmail the other party in exchange for greater benefits and squeeze out more benefits.
Who can make mistakes without being a sage? Today you have caught the other party's advantage and brought trouble to the other party. When others catch your advantage in the future, they will also add insult to injury.
This can be regarded as a kind of hidden rule and tacit understanding between the powerful and wealthy families.
Qing Mulan received this kind of aristocratic education since she was a child.
So she felt that Tang Xiaobei's approach of going directly to Hong Er was too radical.
Seeing that Tang Xiaobei didn't listen to him, he moved Jin Feng out, hoping that Tang Xiaobei could consider the relationship between Jin Feng and Hong Taoping.
After hearing Qing Mulan talk about Jin Feng, Tang Xiaobei actually slowed down a bit.
Qing Mulan thought her persuasion was effective, but she heard Tang Xiaobei say: "Sister Mulan, I understand your concerns, but you must not open this door!
Mr. Xianggong once said that there is no rule without rules. Hong Er is like this today. For Hong Taoping's sake, let's take it lightly. More people will follow suit tomorrow! It won't take long for Dakang to be completely in chaos!
"
"Then we should at least talk to Sir, right?" Qing Mulan was still a little unwilling to give up.
"It's not like you don't know my husband's character?" Tang Xiaobei said: "At best, he values love and justice, but at worst, he has a soft ear and is too soft-hearted towards himself!
Xianggong himself understands this, so he mostly cares about places like the steel plant and shipyard, but rarely cares about political affairs and the management of various factories.
Therefore, we can’t let him know about this matter. After I finish dealing with Hong Er, it will be a done deal and it will be useless for my husband to know!"
Hearing this, Qing Mulan couldn't help but sigh secretly, and began to worry about Tang Xiaobei again: "But if you kill first and then show off, sir, I will definitely get angry with you!"
"Wherever there is an overnight feud between husband and wife, let's just vent our anger. I'm used to being the bad guy."
Tang Xiaobei said nonchalantly: "At worst, I can just coax him at night!"
"Damn Xiaobei, bad Xiaobei, you are talking nonsense again!"
When Qing Mulan heard this, her face turned red with embarrassment and she stomped away.
Tang Xiaobei followed behind and grinned: "I can't deal with you yet!"
She naturally knew what Qing Mulan was thinking and why Qing Mulan advised her.
But just like what she and Qing Mulan said, this hole cannot be opened, otherwise there will be no way to control people in the future.
For Jin Feng, for the good life that came with so much hard work, Tang Xiaobei was willing to be a bad guy and be a good person.
Without Qing Mulan chattering beside him, Tang Xiaobei began to make calculations in his mind silently.
After returning to the dock, he did not go to Hong Er immediately. Instead, he sent someone to call Da Qiang over first.
"Madam, do you have anything to do with me?" Daqiang asked somewhat cautiously.
Now he can be regarded as a middle-level general of the escort agency, and before the clerk who worked with him once was transferred, he once analyzed the situation and leadership structure of Sichuan and Shu. Tang Xiaobei was mentioned many times, and Tang Xiaobei was mentioned many times.
Remind Daqiang that Tang Xiaobei is one of the people in the world who cannot be offended.
In order to prevent Daqiang from being distracted, the clerk even told him that he would rather offend Jin Feng than Tang Xiaobei.
So when he learned that Tang Xiaobei was looking for him, Daqiang mentally went over all the big and small things he had done recently.
Even though it was confirmed that he had not done anything evil or committed an unforgivable crime, Daqiang was still nervous.
"You should know about the secret agent Han Feng left here, right?" Tang Xiaobei asked.
"This..." Daqiang was a little embarrassed.
When Han Feng was in the East China Sea, he could not do many things without the help of his bodyguards, so Da Qiang did know that Han Feng had left a spy in the East China Sea.
Military operations are also inseparable from intelligence support. When Han Feng left the East China Sea, he told Da Qiang the identities and contact codes of three of the spies.
If Daqiang encounters a special situation in the East China Sea and is looking for intelligence support, he can go to the secret agent for help.
Once the secret agent is exposed, it is basically useless. When Han Feng told Da Qiang the information about the secret agent, he once said that if the secret agent can't be used, then try not to use it. The most important thing is that the identity of the secret agent must not be told to outsiders.
But Tang Xiaobei is not an outsider, she is Jin Feng's wife and one of the top officials in Sichuan.
Now Tang Xiaobei took the initiative to ask, which put Da Qiang in trouble.
Do you want to say it?
Tang Xiaobei saw that Daqiang was still silent and guessed his concerns.
"Forget it, I won't embarrass you anymore. You arrange a few people to find the clan elders who just had a meeting with Hong Er, and tell them that I have something to discuss with them."
Tang Xiaobei went to Daqiang to question the spies. His original intention was to let them collect clues about the clan elders, so that they would have more initiative when the clan elders arrived.
Tang Xiaobei gave up the idea when he found out that Daqiang was in trouble.
They were just a few small town clan elders. Tang Xiaobei had too many ways to deal with them. If he had a handle, it would just be simpler. If he didn't have a handle, he would still deal with them.
Seeing that Tang Xiaobei no longer asked for information from the secret agent, Daqiang felt relieved, cupped his fists and replied, "Yes!"
Yuxi Town is such a big place, and Da Qiang is the person in charge of security at the dock. When the clan elders come to see Hong Er at the dock, they have to go through several layers of inspections by the bodyguards before they can come in.
Daqiang just went back and checked the registration form, and found out the identities of the clan elders who came in the afternoon.
Regardless of what Tang Xiaobei wanted to do with the clan elders, Daqiang directly arranged for the bodyguard to call for them.
When the dock was just rebuilt, pirates came to harass them many times. Each time, the bodyguards cooperated with the navy to repel the pirates. The locals saw it, and the bodyguards were very disciplined and never took advantage of the people.
He almost never had any conflicts with the people, so the bodyguards' prestige in the local area was still very high.
Knowing that the bodyguard came to see them, the clan elders put down other things in their hands and came to see the bodyguard.
