(Take a week off during the Spring Festival. I wish all book friends good luck in the Year of the Rat, good fortune, and everything goes well in advance.)
After walking out of the gate of Manjiang Huayu, Huang Hai looked back and said with emotion: "Miss Qingmei is a powerful person. She can get this place to do business and invite Mr. Tian to support her. She is more beautiful in life and business than Zhao Yongbing."
"Yes." Zhu Tong responded calmly. Half a year ago, Huang Hai found someone to destroy the Ding Ran Starry Sky, and Zhao Yongbing became a thing of the past; half a year later, Manjiang Huayu opened. With different bosses and different nightclubs, Huang Hai might think it was Tian.
The young master is protecting the green plums and the rain of flowers in the river, just like the young master Tian used to protect Zhao Yongbing and Dingran Xingkong.
An off-road vehicle with a local license plate drove over. Huang Hai walked over and whispered a few words to the people in the car, then turned back and got into Zhu Tong's Renault, lit a cigarette and smoked silently.
On a summer night, Shanghai is a city that never sleeps; it’s almost twelve o’clock, there’s a lot of fun going on in the rain, and the traffic on the road outside and the number of pedestrians on both sides of the road are no less than during the day.
As Renault turned onto the viaduct, Zhu Tong and Huang Hai looked back at the same time and smiled at each other. They both remembered the chase half a year ago. They also came out of the same place and took the same route; but today the car behind them was
The off-road vehicle driven by Huang Hai's men.
"It's so fast. It's been half a year in a flash." Huang Hai opened the sunroof a crack and let the smoke in the car slowly dissipate; "Li Xiang, I think we are friends, right?"
"Why do you ask that?" Zhu Tong trembled in his heart, and his intuition told him that there was something in Huang Hai's words.
"I just heard the Japanese say that you were injured in Japan. It was a gunshot wound. Why didn't you tell me?"
It turned out that it was because of this that the little liar breathed a sigh of relief and buried eight generations of Kazuo Ikeda's ancestors in his heart.
"I don't want Ye'er to worry too much. It's already healed anyway. Ye'er is soft-hearted and I'm afraid she will cry."
Huang Hai was silent again, and said for a long time: "Ye'er will be very happy with you."
"I heard that you are in contact with Miss Chen?" Zhu Tong asked, fearing that Huang Hai would ask something else.
"Chen Yiyi? I forgot that she used to be your deputy director. Last month, my father asked me to go home to accompany the guests. It was his old boss who came to Shanghai for vacation. When I was a child, his mistress and I used to be naughty together. During dinner, he mentioned Chen Yiyi,
Because of my father's face, I didn't say anything or agree. Later, he introduced us to meet each other. It was a coincidence today. My father respects my opinion, and my mother still likes Ye'er. Li thought, Miss Chen seems to have a good impression of you.
Ah. We had tea together twice, and each time her topic was about how great Director Li is and how brilliant his medical skills are. Li thought, I think she has fallen in love with you."
"Officer Huang, you can't say that. You are not familiar with each other, so she had to start from a topic that we are both familiar with."
"It's not because of this." Huang Hai shook his head and stared at Zhu Tong's profile; "You seem to be very popular with women. Hehe, I have decided now that I will never be friends with a girl who knows you."
"What should I do with Duohua? Don't forget, she calls me big brother. Huang Hai, you did a bad job today, why don't you go up and give flowers to Duohua. This is her first performance."
"This is the difference between us, Li Xiang. I was dumbfounded at the time and didn't think of anything else. I didn't expect that Duohua is really talented in art. She can sing well and dance well."
Flowers bloomed, and a smile appeared on Huang Hai's face.
Happiness is always short-lived. Zhu Tong sighed and couldn't bear to splash cold water from the Yellow Sea anymore.
Thanks to Mr. Tian's operation, the flower has become a hibiscus.
As long as Wang Xiangji recognizes a flower or makes a certain gesture, everything will be fine. People like Mrs. Huang will understand the relationship.
Just look at it, is Huang Hai smart enough, and how infatuated is Duo Hua?
As expected, Mei Lanting acquired another gallery, right next door to Lanting Gallery.
Zhu Tong parked the Renault in front of the gallery, turned around and asked Huang Hai to get out of the car, but found that he had already fallen asleep.
It had been less than an hour since Manjiang Huayu arrived here, and the two of them had been chatting without a word; Zhu Tong was so impressed with Huang Hai that he could chat even when he was asleep! It seems that being a police officer is not easy, Huang Hai
I am really too tired.
Ye'er came out of the gallery and saw Zhu Tong standing next to the car, and said angrily: "You came so late? Where is Huang Hai?"
"Shh..." Zhu Tong put his index finger to his mouth and whispered: "Let him sleep for a while, I think he is exhausted."
"Yes, they have been working very hard these past few days." Ye'er glanced at Huang Hai through the car window, sighed and walked to the off-road vehicle behind; "I asked them to find a place to rest for a while."
Duohua jumped out of the gallery. She had changed out of her performance clothes, removed her finery and smiled brightly. Her flowing black hair was only tied with a silk scarf and flowed over her shoulders, which brought out her natural beauty and innocence.
Months of training did not take away Duohua's innocence. The neon light reflected on her crystal white and tender skin made her more enchanting and sexy. The joy from the heart overflowed from her brows, eyes, and steps.
"Where's Brother Hai?" Seeing that Zhu Tong was the only one, Duohua stopped in disappointment.
"He was too tired and fell asleep." As soon as Zhu Tong finished speaking, Duohua ran to the car and took a look inside, then turned to the other side and gently opened the car door and got in, looking at the Yellow Sea dreamily.
The off-road vehicle turned around and left. Zhu Tong stopped Ye'er and said, "Duohua is in the car, let them stay alone for a while."
"What did Duohua say?" Ye'er was afraid that something might happen to the two people in the car, so she stood on the steps in front of the gallery and refused to go in; Zhu Tong had no choice but to take off his thin suit, pull off his tie, and enjoy the steamer-like heat of Shanghai with her for a while.
, the shirt was soaked with sweat.
"She is more sensible. I explained the matter about Huang Hai. Duohua didn't care. She said she wanted to have a good talk with Huang Hai." Ye'er said, seeing Zhu Tong's face covered with sweat, he quickly wiped it with a handkerchief and said with distress.
: "Li Xiang, are you sick? You sweat so much."
Zhu Tong was protected by Suowanda's word-fixing technique, and his breathing was no longer laborious. What made him feel hot were the two dog-skin plasters on his chest and back. He smiled and took out a green pill and stuffed it into his mouth, and was supported by Ye'er.
Enter the gallery.
The cool air-conditioned wind blew, and Zhu Tong coughed a few times and gradually returned to normal.
"Huang Hai said that you had a serious illness in Japan, is that right..."
"Nothing? I'm a doctor. I just need to take care of myself for a while." The sweat on his body fell off and he drank a few sips of the cold water sent by Mei Lanting. Zhu Tong slowly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Miss Mei, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you made a lot of money."
Big money.”
Mei Lanting was still dressed in a neutral outfit and looked like a strong woman; like Ye'er, she looked at Zhu Tong worriedly: "I won't risk my life to make money, but you don't look good."
"Do I need to go to the hospital?" Ye'er was still worried.
"It's okay. I just had some discomfort in my trachea just now. It's already gone." The little liar stood up and walked a few steps, pretending to be lively. But in his heart, he was secretly complaining: He felt that he needed to receive aromatherapy treatment as soon as possible. The female living Buddha looks like now
, it is impossible to do any aromatherapy in half a month.
"Go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. It's okay, Ye'er. Don't worry, I'm the doctor."
They were talking in the house, and strong lights shone in from outside the door. Zhu Tong looked and saw the Renault car turned around and rushed into the traffic, and drove away quickly.
"Let them go." Ye'er wanted to chase him out, but was stopped by Zhu Tong and Mei Lanting at the same time.
"Yeah, I'll take you back in a while. Are you afraid of losing the car? A goodbye is better than a wedding, so let's not cause any trouble."
When it was said that a farewell was better than a wedding, Mei Lanting's eyes glanced at Zhu Tong and then at Ye'er, with a wicked smile on his face, which made Ye'er blush with embarrassment.
"Ahem!" Zhu Tong pretended to be calm, coughed a few times and walked into the depths of the gallery.
It is completely different from the Lanting Gallery next door. This gallery is full of exaggerated, fierce and noisy modern works. The strong visual impact and deformed lines make the little liar very confused: "Ms. Mei, is there anyone buying this thing?"
"
"Yeah, this one costs 5,000 yuan. Don't even think about taking it away even if it's a penny less." Mei Lanting introduced his product confidently. What Zhu Tong faced was a worm-like human body painting. The most prominent one was a
With her plump breasts and delicate navel, her face is very small and disproportionate to her bright red lips. It is sandwiched between her arms and breasts.
"I understand." Zhu Tong pretended to be serious; "Only when you are shameless can you be valuable."
Ye'er and Mei Lanting both laughed and pushed him aside: "What do you know? This painting means the fusion of man and nature."
"The integration of man and nature? I only see people, where is nature?"
"It's integrated into the human body. Li thought, you should strengthen your artistic cultivation. This painting reminds people to care for nature and integrate themselves into nature. Don't integrate nature into people themselves. It will lead to a catastrophe.
." After Mei Lanting explained, he also laughed.
"It turns out it's so profound. I admire it. It's really worth five thousand." The little liar shook his head and sighed, making Ye'er and Mei Lanting sway.
After appreciating this batch of modern paintings, Mei Lanting took out a stack of money from his wallet and handed it to Ye'er: "Nuo, three thousand. Five of your paintings are not as valuable as one of others."
"What kind of money is this? Ye'er, you..." Zhu Tong frowned, Ye'er took the money generously, took Zhu Tong's arm and said with a smile: "I am now Miss Mei's contracted painter, don't be stupid
From now on, I can paint four paintings a month, and as long as Miss Mei can sell them, we can save enough money to buy a house as soon as possible."
"I have advised Ye'er that if she wants to be a full-time painter, just rely on Ye'er's appearance and talent; she can become a star painter without much effort. A painting can be sold for 50,000 or 100,000..." Mei Lanting said.
, feeling a chill coming from Zhu Tong, she stopped talking and looked at him carefully; "This was Ye'er's idea, I didn't force her."
"We don't make this kind of money, so Ye'er doesn't have to paint for money." Zhu Tong grabbed the banknotes from Ye'er's hand, put it into Mei Lanting's hand, picked up Ye'er and left.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye'er struggled, but didn't wish Tong was strong enough to stop if he couldn't get away. He followed him to the roadside and stopped a taxi.
Mei Lanting watched blankly as the two left in the car and threw the banknotes in his hands out of the gallery; the hundred-yuan bills flying everywhere attracted a group of passers-by to fight for them.
The lights in the gallery went out, and Mei Lanting ran into the depths and tore off the "Integration of Man and Nature", crying loudly as he tore it apart.
Zhu Tong and Ye'er were sitting in the rental car, and neither of them spoke. It wasn't until they returned to the downstairs of Su Juan's house that Zhu Tong said softly: "Ye'er, I don't want you to work too hard for money."
"Let's go upstairs." Ye'er said softly: "When Huang Hai and I were together, I never had any quarrels. I was only moved and never felt distressed or scared. Li Xiang, I was really scared and distressed just now.
.I know you are doing it for my own good and are afraid of delaying my work. But I still feel bad. You are too strong and too tired."
Zhu Tong shook his head: "Ye'er, you don't understand. I can't bear to see you painting for money. That shouldn't be what you do, Ye'er. You go back first. I'll wander outside for a while and figure it out."
Just go back."
Ye'er would not leave Zhu Tong and go back, but she didn't know how to persuade him, so she could only accompany him and walk silently.
Jiangnan has always produced talented people, and the price is that women have to prepare the logistics for the talented people who have studied history to become famous. This has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, which has caused the folk customs in the south to be weak and masculine. This has forced the women in Jiangnan to naturally know how to manage their own business.
Life.
When Ye'er thought about it, it was normal to paint a few meticulous paintings and entrust Mei Lanting to sell them. There was nothing wrong with making money based on her skills. Originally, she wanted to surprise Zhu Tong, but she didn't expect that it would trigger the first dispute between the two.
The kind-hearted Ye'er didn't understand Zhu Tong's thoughts at all; the little liar had such a violent reaction because he saw through the tricks Mei Lanting was going to play. Ye'er was not wrong, the fault was that Mei Lanting or someone else was wrong.
We might take this opportunity to fire up another idol-level beauty painter; with Ye'er's natural beauty and Mei Lanting's experience, as long as someone pays a sum of money, anything can happen.
Zhu Tong must eliminate this possibility at the possible stage; he has already regretted it. This matter can be solved privately without Ye Er knowing about it; now, it is difficult to explain it no matter how hard it is, so he has to pretend to be a macho man.
Look.
The two of them walked around the community. Zhu Tong felt his lungs were heavy, so he followed Ye'er upstairs.
The puppy Yin Yang is not used to this new home. When Su Juan's children are naughty, they treat Yin Yang as a living toy whenever they have time, making Yin Yang hide under Ye'er's bed all day long. Only at night, Xiaobao falls asleep.
Just came out.
After Zhu Tong finished washing, he saw Ye'er sitting on the bedside holding Yin Yang and crying silently. He felt distressed and didn't know how to persuade him. When he saw the Nuo masks hanging on the wall, he took off one and put it on his head, hiding his ferocious face.
Reach over.
Ye'er screamed and immediately realized that Zhu Tong was causing trouble. She was afraid of disturbing her brother-in-law and Xiaobao next door, so she quickly covered her mouth. Out of breath, she rushed over and pressed Zhu Tong onto the bed. She didn't let go until the little liar coughed itchyly.
, he went to the bathroom to take a bath angrily.
That night, Zhu Tong didn't sleep well, and Ye'er didn't sleep well either. Although they cuddled together, they felt that a gap was quietly emerging in their hearts.
In the early morning, just as Zhu Tong was about to fall asleep, his black Samsung phone rang. It was Huang Hai calling. He was downstairs, returning the Renault car.
"I thought about it all night, Li Xiang, since you don't like it, I won't go to Mr. Ma to learn painting from now on."
Zhu Tong took the car keys and went back upstairs. Ye'er also got up. As she spoke, she started to cry aggrievedly.
"There is nothing wrong with learning to draw. I hope you have a hobby. However, you are a police officer and you have to concentrate on your finances. Drawing will delay your work, and it will not be good if your colleagues find out."
Zhu Tong held Ye'er in his arms and comforted him: "Ye'er, I was too impulsive at the time. In our north, if a man wants to buy a house with the money a woman sells paintings, he will be looked down upon. I'm sorry, don't do it again.
If I cry, my sister will scold me when she gets up."
"Then why should I study painting? I won't go, I will never go again; well..." Ye'er twisted her body, she was no longer angry, and even felt the sweetness of being cared for in her heart. She was overtaken
The hug became tighter, and the familiar masculine scent hit her face, her lips were covered, and a pair of hands reached into her thin pajamas and rubbed her smooth back. Ye'er couldn't say another word, enthusiastically catering to her lover's aggression.
Girls all want their lovers to have strong arms. Zhu Tong's sudden domineering performance last night made her feel the aura of a strong man when she was confused by love. Although she felt aggrieved at the time, after a night of reflection, Ye'er felt loved again.
The feeling of being protected and conquered.
Women in love generally have low IQs and like to think the best of their lover. There is nothing we can do about it.
Today is Saturday, because Ye'er is going to the Nanjing training base tomorrow to report, and there are a lot of things to prepare. She has already agreed with Mei Ye not to learn painting.
Su Juan came back from the car at around ten o'clock and saw her sister busy in the kitchen. Zhu Tong and Xiaobao were playing with the puppy in the living room, and they were in a good mood. There was only one thing, the air conditioners in the living room and the room were all on. Su Juan was used to saving money on electricity and felt distressed.
, went to the kitchen and asked Ye'er in a low voice, only to find out that it was because of Zhu Tong.
The day before yesterday, a Shanghai man took Xiaobao to the High School Affiliated to Normal University to complete the admission procedures, so that the child could be freed from the heavy homework. As a mother, Su Juan was very satisfied with her soon-to-be brother-in-law, and she chatted and laughed with Ye'er a few times about wasting electricity.
Just put it behind me.
However, these simple conversations could not hide Zhu Tong's sensitive ears. Ye'er would be leaving for two months soon. What was the point of living here by himself?
During lunch, Su Juan asked her husband about what was going on at home these days, and the Shanghai man told her everything in detail, even telling how many stocks he bought had gone up or down.
Only then did Zhu Tong realize that the rumors were true. There was no one in Shanghai who didn’t trade in stocks. Su Juan’s husband could be considered a first-generation stock investor. He asked casually: "You must have made a lot of money, right?"
"He can make money, and if he doesn't bring his family's wealth with him, it will be a waste of money." Su Juan curled her lips. The ledger in a Shanghai woman's mind was always full of shallots and tofu, and it was all clear. Ye'er saw that her sister wanted to dig up the old accounts again, and she hurriedly
Change the subject and talk about leaving tomorrow.
After dinner, Ye'er and her sister went into the back room to whisper. Zhu Tong asked the Shanghai man to write two lines of words in the newspaper and whispered: "Brother, sell all your stocks immediately and buy this whole stock."
Two stocks can at least double your profit."
"Zhongtian Shipping, Jiangdu Steel; these are two STs. They haven't moved for a long time, and they have dropped a little in the past two days." The Shanghai man immediately turned on the computer, called up the information of the two stocks, and told Zhu Tongpi
Common sense about stocks. The final conclusion is: don’t believe the rumors. No matter from the fundamentals or various curve analysis, these two stocks have no chance of making money.
The little liar just opened his stock account yesterday, and the 500,000 yuan in the account has not been touched at all. He plans to buy all of Zhongtian Shipping and Jiangdu Steel on Monday. But he just wants to help the Shanghai man because he has little status in the family.
Just say: "I have news from a friend..."
"What's the news?" Su Juan and Ye'er came over and saw two grown men studying stocks, so Su Juan asked.
"Xiao Li wants me to sell my blue chip stocks and replace them all with these two junk stocks. Do you think it's ridiculous?" the Shanghai man replied proudly.
"It's not funny at all. If you buy blue chip stocks when they reach their highest price, there's still no movement until now. Sell early and save worry. This time, just listen to Li Xiang's advice and switch to these two stocks; he won't lie to us, is
Right?" The last sentence was said to Zhu Tong, and the little liar could only smile: "Yeah."
On Sunday, Zhu Tong drove on the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway and sent Ye'er and his luggage to the Nanjing Police Officer Training Base. When they parted, he was reluctant to leave.
He was the only one on the return trip, and he didn't know whether he felt relaxed or sad. When he came back this time, the feeling of being with Ye'er was sweet mixed with fear and nervousness. After they separated, his mind was empty, and before he knew it, the Renault car
On the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway.
After picking up the card at the toll station, Zhu Tongcai felt something was wrong. He made an appointment with his senior brother and Suowonda today to go to Nanjing to visit the people in the Treasure Hunting Alliance.
The sun was already setting outside the car window, and Zhu Tong couldn't bring himself to quarrel with those people, so he took out his phone and dialed his senior brother's cell phone.
The phone rang, but the other party didn't answer. Only then did Zhu Tong realize that this phone number could not be used to call his senior brother.
He parked the car on the side of the road to sober up for a while before changing to another phone card.
This time it rang three times and Senior Brother answered the phone.
"I'm not feeling well. My chest is tight and I went to Xiaguang Temple first. Please, Senior Brother and Zhu Fei, please see Master Kongji and Master Yu Xuan and say sorry for me."
After saying that, Zhu Tong hung up the phone and drove towards Suzhou.
This meeting has been brewing for a long time, for an auction to be held in Shanghai in early July, at which the Plum Blossom Jade Seal will be unveiled. Master Kongji and Taoist Priest Yu Xuan, as the conveners of the Jianghu Treasure Hunting Alliance,
It is necessary to unify the positions and understandings of the eight factions before the auction.
Money is not a problem. The third-grade blue stone will be advanced with a reserve fund of 10 million, and the first-grade golden Buddha is rich, which is probably enough. In the past auctions, no jade seal has ever been sold for more than one million, even though the Jiangnan treasure incident has already caused a stir.
As it is known all over the world, there are probably not many people who can pay such a high price to compete for this jade seal.
At half past eight, Zhu Tong arrived at Xiaguang Temple in Suzhou. The main hall was brightly lit, and the monks and Taoist priests were dancing wildly. It was very lively.
Zhu Tong entered through the side door and found out that there was a blessing ceremony for a newborn child. The child's father was rich and had been divorced three times in order to get this boy. The previous ones were all girls.
In the backyard, second senior brother Zhu Yun has decorated an aromatherapy room in the side hall according to the female living Buddha's instructions.
Zhu Tong didn't say much and walked in holding his chest.
The second senior brother received a call from Zhu Tong early. The disciples poured the prepared herbs into more than a dozen hot copper pots. The medicinal gas was passed through the copper pipes into the aromatherapy room. Zhu Tong had already stripped naked and was lying on the wooden bed, breathing in the fragrance.
Thick steam meditation.
"Ahem!..." Within ten minutes, Zhu Tong coughed violently and left the aromatherapy room.
The second senior brother was the first to greet him and hug him. Two strands of blood seeped out of Zhu Tong's nostrils, and soon turned into blood lines.
"Senior brother... cough cough!" Zhu Tong wanted to speak, but he spat out a mouthful of blood first. He struggled and said, "clothes, medicine... medicine bottle."
Zhu Yun quickly took Zhu Tong to the dressing room, took out the medicine bottle and opened it. Zhu Tong took out two cough medicines and stuffed them into his mouth, but more blood kept pouring out with violent coughing, and he could not put the medicine in at all.
