Fourth Master Tong looked at Ye Chengzhong and felt that the matter was a bit tricky. Blair was already a difficult character, and now adding a person named Ye was even more troublesome. Originally, Ye Chengde was an employee of Blair's shop and lost his money in gambling. It is already difficult to deal with it without money to compensate. After all, it is not easy for Mr. Tong to offend Blair.
Now, another relative of Ye Chengde's unknown identity appeared out of thin air, and the situation immediately became complicated. Fourth Master Tong was thinking, and asked insinuatingly: "Mr. Zhou, who is this young man? Why is he so unfamiliar?" "
People in the same field as Fourth Master are very discerning.
Fourth Master Tong glanced at Ye Chengzhong, and based on his own experience, he believed that the person in front of him was not a big shot, because Ye Chengzhong did not have the aura to hold a high position. He was not even a son of an official, because he did not have the aura of a son of an official. However, , Tongsiye did not dare to offend rashly, and tentatively asked Blair, hoping to get some information from Blair.
Blair rolled his eyes and said, "His name is Ye Chengzhong. He is a businessman. He is negotiating business with me on behalf of his employer."
After finishing speaking, Blair stared at Ye Chengzhong teasingly, showing a look of expectation. Obviously, the old guy said this deliberately to show that he wanted to watch a show and see how Ye Chengzhong solved the matter.
Fourth Master Tong raised his eyebrows, and something suddenly clicked in his mind.
The smile on Fourth Master Tong's face suddenly disappeared, and the look he looked at Ye Chengzhong was no longer kind. Fourth Master Tong's tone changed and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ye, who are you, Ye Chengde?"
Ye Chengzhong said truthfully: "Ye Chengde is my biological brother."
Fourth Master Tong rolled his eyes and said: "Since Mr. Ye is Ye Chengde's younger brother, please help him return the one thousand taels of silver. The money is not much, and I believe Mr. Ye can easily repay it."
When Ye Chengzhong heard this, his expression suddenly froze.
He doesn't even have one hundred taels of silver now, let alone one thousand taels.
Although Ye Chengzhong is smart and sensible, he is still a fourteen-year-old boy who cannot be immovable in all directions, and he does not have the experience of Blair. When he spoke to the fourth master, Ye Chengzhong was immediately stunned and did not know how to answer. Cheng Zhong looked at Blair, expecting Blair to lend a helping hand, but saw that Blair remained silent.
Even though Blair knew that Ye Chengzhong was Li Zhen's man, he still didn't say anything because Blair didn't need to please Li Zhen. Besides, if Ye Chengde lost the gambling, he couldn't exchange it with one thousand taels of silver.
Seeing that Blair didn't take action, Ye Chengzhong shook his head and sighed in his heart.
No matter what, he had to use money to rescue Ye Chengde, otherwise Ye Chengde would definitely be abused by Fourth Master Tong. Ye Chengzhong took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said: "Fourth Master Tong, I can't afford a thousand for the time being. Two silver coins, how many days can I extend?"
Although faced with difficulties, Ye Chengzhong did not mention Li Zhen's name. Blair could name Ye Chengzhong as Li Zhen's person, but Ye Chengzhong could not say it, otherwise it would definitely make Li Zhen feel uncomfortable.
Fourth Master Tong showed no respect at all, shook his head and said, "One thousand taels, I need it today."
Blair sat casually, staring at Ye Chengzhong. Not only did he not take action, but he seemed to be watching a good show.
Fourth Master Tong is a human being, and seeing Blair not interfering, he feels more at ease. Judging from Blair's attitude, it seems that even if the person in front of him represents a certain person, he is not an important character. Fourth Master Tong is one of the most important figures in Shanghai Casino , I know that there are reputable businessmen in Shanghai, but I have never heard of anyone named Ye Chengzhong.
Ye Chengzhong felt embarrassed and said: "Tongsi Master, I really can't come up with a thousand taels for the time being. Just give me one day, just one day."
Fourth Master Tong said with a smile: "Okay, I'll give you one day, but you have to cut off one of Ye Chengde's fingers."
"ah!!"
Ye Chengzhong exclaimed, showing a look of horror.
This, this is too exaggerated!
Ye Chengzhong exclaimed: "Tongsi Master, this is too..."
Before he finished speaking, Fourth Master Tong immediately interrupted: "Master Ye, within today, I want to see a thousand taels of silver. Your brother can easily find it at the Dali Casino. If you can't get a thousand taels of silver today, Two, your brother is missing one finger." After finishing speaking, Fourth Master Tong said to Blair: "Mr. Zhou, excuse me, I will meet you for tea when I have time."
Blair nodded, turned around and left with the Fourth Master.
At this moment, Fourth Master Tong showed the ruthlessness of a casino owner. After Fourth Master Tong left, Ye Chengzhong said: "Old Zhou, I have to deal with my brother's affairs, so I have to say goodbye."
"Wait!"
Just as Ye Chengzhong was about to leave, Blair suddenly said: "Mr. Ye, although you don't have a thousand taels of silver, you are General Li's people. As long as you carry the name of General Li, Tongsi will not dare to take you." How about brother? Even Tongsi will apologize to you and even flatter you. You know, your brother's loss of one thousand taels of silver must be caused by someone from Tongsi's ruthlessness, and one thousand taels of silver is really not much. There is a way to rescue your brother, why not use it?"
Ye Chengzhong shook his head and said, "Don't break the rules!"
After saying that, Ye Chengzhong turned around and left the teahouse.
Blair stared at Ye Chengzhong's leaving back, nodded slightly, and a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes. This Ye Chengzhong is young, but he can grasp the bottom line. He is indeed a good piece of material.
After Ye Chengzhong left, he went straight back to Daotai Mansion.
Arriving outside the study, Ye Chengzhong stood for a long time and finally knocked on the door of the study and said, "Sir, I am Xiaoye."
"Come in!"
Li Zhen's voice came out, and Ye Chengzhong pushed the door open and strode in.
Li Zhenxiao asked: "How are things going at the factory?"
Ye Chengzhong replied: "My wife sent an old servant who is proficient in Chinese to come forward. He and I have already discussed the matter of opening a factory. As long as the money is in place, we can build the factory and recruit workers."
Li Zhen said: "Okay, well done!"
Ye Chengzhong forced a smile, his expression was a little unnatural, he opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say. After all, it was not a pleasant thing for Ye Chengde to be detained in the Italian Casino. This expression fell in Li Zhen's eyes, and Li Zhen asked directly: "Xiaoye, what's on your mind? It doesn't hurt to just tell me."
Ye Chengzhong nodded and said, "I have something to ask for help, but I don't know how to ask!"
Li Zhen asked: "What happened?"
Ye Chengzhong said nervously: "I would like to borrow a thousand taels of silver from you, please accept your permission."
Seeing that Ye Chengzhong was in a bad state, Li Zhen asked, "What are you borrowing money for?" In fact, one thousand taels of silver was just a drop in the bucket for Li Zhen, and he could easily get it out. However, Li Zhen didn't know that Ye Chengzhong What should he do? With Ye Chengzhong's current status, money and other things are not very useful.
Ye Chengzhong said: "Sir, my eldest brother Ye Chengde was detained in the casino and needs one thousand taels of silver to redeem him."
Li Zhen vaguely understood, but then said: "Speak carefully and make sure there are no omissions."
