Eight, in the depths of the hustle and bustle is the coolness
"Sister, you are young again." Zhu Tong approached her with a smile and said.
"Yes, I am young, but you are older." Liu Yilan's eyes were shining brightly, and she covered Zhu Tong's arm with a round fan. Below, her onion-like fingertips pinched the tender spots on the inside of his arm.
Rou, said: "It's really annoying. You made such a big noise out of thin air. What are you going to do?"
Xi Leiya was Zhu Tong's female companion. She naturally held his arm and said with a smile: "Sister Liu is very angry, and the consequences will be serious."
"Aren't you here to apologize to the eldest sister?" Zhu Tong endured the pain and did not dare to move at all, nor did he dare to use his skills to resist. In Shanghai, apart from his mother and Ye'er, Liu Yilan was the only one who treated him the best. Recently.
For a year, Liu Yilan spent most of her time cultivating in Shanshui Taoist Temple and would not normally appear in Shanghai; this time she appeared, it must have been because of herself.
"What crime do you want to plead guilty to? If you tell me, maybe you won't be angry." Liu Yilan loosened her fingers and glanced at him.
"I don't like this style." Zhu Tong frowned and said without answering Liu Yilan's words.
He saw some people who shouldn't be here. Although Ying Zhijie was left downstairs, there were two new faces in the hall of Nanhai Gonglan who clearly didn't belong here. This was a strange thing.
Only people who are familiar with this world can feel the subtle differences. They are here to monitor Zhu Tong.
"Don't like it?" Liu Yilan frowned and said with a smile, "This is Shanghai, you have to adapt to it."
Two shareholders of Jinshi Investment came over. Perhaps they were waiting for their female companions, or perhaps they had no intention of attending the party prepared by Liu Yilan for the reopening. They were sitting casually on the sofa in the lobby chatting.
Another polite courtesy was necessary. The shareholders of Jinshi Investment were not only members of Nanhai Gonglan, but also members of Wanghai Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Association. Because the nearby Wanghai Hospital was too busy, they did not go to Wanghai Hospital and did not meet Zhu Tong.
; Each other seems to have a lot to say.
Under the current situation, the general members of Nanhai Gonglan had heard something and kept a respectful distance from Zhu Tong. When they entered the elevator just now, an acquaintance member exited the elevator under the pretext of making a phone call.
But these two people didn't seem to care about this. They seemed to know that Zhu Tong needed support, and soon made this small circle the most eye-catching place in Nanhai Gonglan Hall.
Zhu Tong lamented that it is no ordinary person who can become a shareholder of Jinshi Investment.
More than a year ago, when the outside world was not optimistic, they resolutely stood by Zhu Tong and handed him a huge sum of money for an adventure that was more exciting than gambling. Although they all got huge profits beyond their imagination,
But Zhu Tong is still grateful to them.
At ten o'clock sharp, Lan Zhanjiang arrived. He only greeted a few familiar members and joined Zhu Tong's small circle.
Lan Zhanjiang is still wearing a suit and leather shoes, well-dressed and elegant.
Lan Zhanjiang brought a female companion. His female companion wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and wore a light blue professional attire that is rare in today's situation. Nanhai Gonglan is a European-style high-end club that opened
During the celebration, the female guests who came and went consciously wore evening dresses that showed off their figures and valuable accessories. To a certain extent, women preferred the luxurious atmosphere of Nanhai Gonglan, which was a place where they could show off their beauty and beauty.
The stage of wealth.
"I have to apologize on her behalf because she just finished a case and she didn't have time to go back and change clothes." Lan Zhanjiang explained for his female companion very gracefully.
"Mr. Li, do you still know me?" Lan Zhanjiang's female companion stretched out her hand.
It took Zhu Tong a moment to realize that she was Xiang Mo, Xiang Lao's granddaughter.
A year later, Xiang Mo has shed his youthfulness and turned into a graceful lady.
The professional attire cannot conceal her graceful figure, her towering breasts, her slender waist, her plump buttocks under her knee-length skirt, and her pair of straight and slender legs. She is originally serious and generous.
The uniform now exudes a soft and gentle feeling.
"It turns out it's Xiang Mo who has turned into a phoenix." Zhu Tong held Xiang Mo's soft little hand and said with a smile.
Four years ago, at Jinjiang Hotel, he and Lan Zhanjiang met Xiang Mo at the same time; later, Xiang Mo followed Zhu Tong for a while, and now Xiang Mo seems to have become Lan Zhanjiang's assistant.
"Ha, Young Master Lan lost, Brother Li recognized me." Xiang Mo took off his glasses and stood beside Zhu Tong happily; "I won, I am Brother Li's female companion tonight, Brother Lan, let's show off.
.”
"Is Mr. Xiang okay?" Zhu Tong acquiesced to Xiang Mo and took his arm.
It was just a little trick to liven up the atmosphere. When Zhu Tong was the director of the Fuhua Shipbuilding Preparatory Office, Xiang Mo was gilded by Xiang Laoshi. The two were separated for less than a year.
"Fortunately, grandpa asked me to ask how you and the chief are doing." Xiang Mo still looked like he had no scheming intentions. On such an occasion, saying such words casually seemed a bit like showing off. But youth is her best decoration, and no one
You will feel that she is showing off, but instead she will show a bit of cute innocence.
"Silea, there is a dress shop on the seventeenth floor. Take Miss Xiang to try to see if there is anything suitable." Zhu Tong patted the backs of Xilea and Xiang Mo's hands respectively and said, "Remember to choose a suit for yourself too."
"Thank you, boss, I will definitely satisfy Miss Xiang." Xi Leiya said with a smile. This was not the first time she accompanied Zhu Tong to Nanhai Gonglan. The store on the seventeenth floor is considered to be Nanhai Gonglan's property. The dresses inside
They are all handcrafted high-end goods.
Silea felt something was in her hand, she smiled charmingly at Lan Zhanjiang and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lan, Miss Xiang will be dressed up to look very charming." She secretly put the note in her hand away.
"Miss Xiang is an investor from Yingyang. I should pay for the dress." Lan Zhanjiang took out a gold card and handed it to Xiang Mo.
"I'm sorry, it's not working time now." Xiang Mo said without giving Lan Zhanjiang any face, "I hope to have a dress that big brother gave me. Big brother, I want to choose the most expensive one."
"Feel free to choose, but don't save money for me." Zhu Tong beamed happily, feeling very proud.
Lan Zhanjiang also felt that he was losing face. He put away his gold card and said, "Wherever Mr. Li is, Lan is destined to be eclipsed."
"What kind of language are you talking about?" Zhu Tong said in an exaggerated tone; "Although Miss Siraya is my secretary, she admires Mr. Lan very much."
Several people laughed, attracting curious glances from all around. Silea did have a soft spot for Lan Zhanjiang, but she divided her life and work very clearly. Although she had dated Lan Zhanjiang several times, she had a crush on Zhu Tong.
Loyalty is unquestionable.
At nearly half past ten, the party prepared by Liu Yilan was about to begin. Many members of Nanhai Gonglan and the guests they brought had arrived, and they were all waiting in the hall.
This kind of party will be held continuously for a week, and today is the fourth one.
Three days ago, Liu Yilan invited a popular European band. Today's headliner is a hot French beauty singer. Her asking price is too high and she will only perform one show here, so the popularity of Nanhai Gonglan today
Only then was he extremely prosperous.
Zhu Tong didn't know this, his main goal was Lan Zhanjiang.
However, Lan Zhanjiang turned out to be a friend of the beautiful French singer, and he was the one who helped Liu Yilan come to Nanhai Gonglan to perform this time. Lan Zhanjiang said that after the performance, he would introduce a French beauty to Zhu Tong, and he would ask her to go upstairs.
Went down to meet our friends.
Zhu Tong had to wait until two friends from Jinshi Investment shareholders came, said sorry and left.
"Why didn't Wan Jia Sheng Buddha come?" Zhu Tong asked strangely.
"You haven't heard?" Liu Yilan said in surprise.
"I haven't heard of it. I have been in the hospital recently and haven't come out. Sister, something happened to them?"
"Dagang Trading was suspected of tax evasion and was investigated by the Suzhou police this morning. The two of them are working on this matter. I heard that it is a big case worth hundreds of millions. This time, thousands of people will lose their skin if they can't survive.
"
"Tax evasion?" Zhu Tong smiled suddenly.
In Shanghai and even the Yangtze River Delta region, there are few companies like Wanjia Shengfo that do not evade taxes; everyone completes primitive accumulation in this way. If you don't investigate, it will be fine, and it is quite easy to find trouble against you.
But that was ten years ago, and Dagang Trading is now very clean. Even if Wanjiasheng has hired a financial consultant for tax evasion, it will naturally be done by a more secretive recruitment company or more reasonable means, and Dagang Trading will not be involved.
.
"With all the shrewdness of thousands of Buddhists, how could such a big mistake happen?" Zhu Tong asked.
"It's because they were too shrewd that they got into trouble. When they were weak, they could play tricks on both sides without offending anyone. Over the years, they have become the climate. If they still play tricks like that, they are too petty. In my opinion
, it’s strange that they are only being investigated now." Liu Yilan said disdainfully.
Zhu Tong thought that this was a bit exaggerated. However, he also criticized the shrewdness and failure of Wanjia Shengfo, and asked: "Is there any news about the eldest sister? Who is the driving force behind it?"
"Amitabha." Liu Yilan recited the Buddha's name.
"That Buddha on Yunfeng Mountain?" Zhu Tong couldn't help but be moved. He had personally seen the names of Wanjia's Buddhas in the donation list of Yunfeng Temple. How could that Buddha attack them at this time?
"Don't you understand yet?" Sister Liu asked with a sneer.
"I don't understand." Zhu Tong was thinking, but he couldn't think clearly.
"A few years ago, with the help of the Buddha's protection, their power plant was not demolished. Later, the power plant became a real symbol of their rise. It's time for the Buddha to abdicate. At this time, thousands of living Buddhas are used. Firstly,
To establish prestige; secondly?" Liu Yilan smiled at a familiar member; "Secondly, I want to conquer them completely. Thirdly, I want to scare the monkeys, let you see. Some people will never get involved.
, if you get it, don’t dream of escaping unscathed.”
"Me? I don't have that much face. In comparison, they are monkeys and I am the chicken. Hey, eldest sister, the more I hear it, the weirder it becomes. Dagang Trading is a major taxpayer in Suzhou, how could they help someone far north?
Are you going to suppress the Buddha who abdicated his throne?"
"Of course there is a reason. To untie this knot, only one person is enough."
"Fan Xilin." Zhu Tong realized that it must be Fan Xilin who was causing trouble.
"Yeah, he will be the one who gets the advantage in the end. Wanjia Shengfo was just a little frightened this time, and it won't hurt the roots. I'm just afraid that after passing this level, they will leave. Shengfu asked me last year
I thought I didn’t know about the situation in France, but he had already completed the Canadian immigration procedures.”
"Stupid." Zhu Tong Weiran sighed; "It's a pity that two smart people claim to be the Buddhas of thousands of families, but they have never cultivated to become Buddhas. You don't want to get involved in this matter."
Liu Yilan glanced at the two strangers and said, "It is impossible for a smart person to become a Buddha. Come in, it's about to begin."
Zhu Tong didn't think so. If it weren't for Liu Yilan's words, Zhu Tong would definitely not be involved in the tax evasion of Wanjia Shengfo. But now, before he showed his claws, Fan Xilin's big stick was already waving.
.
Xi Leiya and Xiang Mo took the elevator to the seventeenth floor, entered the dress shop, and saw Xiao Xiao here.
Siraya went over to say hello and looked for an opportunity to hand Zhu Tong's note into her hand.
Half an hour later, Sirea and Xiang Mo chose their dresses.
Xiao Xiao walked into the inner office of the dress shop, read the note, lit it and threw it into the ashtray. She looked at the ashes to calm herself down, turned on the computer, and entered a strange world with a smile on her face.
In Beijing, Qu Laoyi was sitting in his museum drinking tea with a group of friends from the antique industry. His assistant walked up to him and whispered something.
Qu Laoyi listened expressionlessly and waved him away.
Almost at the same time, in Peninsula Town, in the building of the Wanghai Group headquarters, the current head of the Zhu Sect, Zhu Huai, also received the message.
He hurriedly found the old liar Zhu Lan.
"What? He wants to deal with the boy from the Lan family?" The old liar jumped up.
"It's to deal with Yingyang Investment." Zhu Huai said; "Master, look..."
"You brat, you really don't want to worry about it. How can a girl preside over such a big thing? I'll go see Yu Xuan tomorrow and then go to Shanghai. It's safer for you to handle this matter yourself." The old liar muttered, and then
Added: "Don't let me get involved. This is Jianghu Dao's business, not our Zhumen family's business."
"But, junior brother will not let you go to Shanghai."
"He knows nothing! Do as I say."
Zhu Huai responded and hurriedly walked out of the Wanghai Group building. There was already a car waiting there.
The sea breeze brought a smell of salty but oxygen-rich air. Zhu Huai took a deep breath, opened the car door, got in, and said to the driver: "Go to Beijing."
