Xiao Zheng smiled and said meaningfully: "If your father was really discerning about people, he shouldn't have left Chen Chong and Li Mubai in trouble."
"Father is getting old, and it is inevitable that his eyes will dim sometimes." Shen Manjun smoothed things over for Fourth Master Zhao, looking at Xiao Zheng with a charming look. said softly. "But he fell in love with you at this age. At least it proves that he is not completely blind."
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Maybe he is really old and dim when he likes me."
"I believe in my father's vision." Shen Manjun said every word. "I believe in my own vision more."
Xiao Zheng was speechless, so he took out a cigarette and lit it. to alleviate the embarrassment.
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was unwilling to discuss this topic in depth, Shen Manjun did not delve deeper and changed the topic: "I remember that you and Ye Shiguan have known each other since childhood."
"Yeah. We've known each other for almost ten years." Xiao Zheng faintly blew out a smoke ring with a rather depressed look in his eyes.
He is not a man who likes to talk about his brothers. Even if he can and is even willing to go through fire and water for his brothers. But whether in private or in public, he is not a man who talks about brotherhood all day long. But just because he didn't say it didn't mean he didn't value brotherhood. Like a biting dog that doesn't bark. A dog that likes to bark will get scared faster than anyone else when something happens.
The example is not appropriate, but it can describe Xiao Zheng very aptly.
But brothers who have been brothers for many years now have many conflicts due to their selfish desires, and even fought against each other.
To say that there was no emotion at all would be a lie.
"Then you are still openly hostile to Ye Shiguan?" Shen Manjun asked emotionally. "And for a woman like me?"
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
"In many people's mouths, I am a woman with a bad reputation." Shen Manjun teased with her eyebrows slightly stretched. "Including your real wife."
"Okay, I have eyes to see." Xiao Zheng continued his cigarette and said slowly.
Shen Manjun leaned forward slightly and asked with charming eyes: "Do you really think I'm very good?"
A burst of fragrance rushed into his nose, Xiao Zheng's mind was slightly shaken, he couldn't help but take two steps back, and said with a smile: "At least she is a loyal woman."
"Just a matter of loyalty?" Shen Manjun said quietly. "You have to know that loyalty is not a useful evaluation for a woman."
"Still beautiful. Sexy." Xiao Zheng stepped back again. However, Shen Manjun was approaching step by step, refusing to relax even an inch.
"What else?" Shen Manjun was almost close to touching Xiao Zheng's face as she exhaled.
"And-" Xiao Zheng asked with a strange playful smile in his eyes. "Do you really want to listen?"
"Listen." Shen Manjun pursed her red lips slightly, which was very tempting.
"Your mouth smells so strong of overnight coffee." Xiao Zheng said with narrowed eyes.
"—"
Shen Manjun was so angry that he raised his pink fist and hit Xiao Zheng: "Asshole!"
…
A very private club. Except for members with club passes, ordinary people are not eligible to enter even the restaurant on the first floor of the club unless invited.
In the most secluded and quietest box in the club. A woman from the south of the Yangtze River wearing a red cheongsam is cooking a pot of red cheongsam with a very skillful technique. The brown tea set, curling cigarettes, and antique box style make people feel like they have returned to the Song Dynasty or even older times. It makes people think about it. The luxurious private life of the princes and nobles of those days.
In addition to the cheongsam girl making tea, there were two men in neat suits in the box. One is Ye Shiguan, the most powerful person in the underground world of Mingzhu, and the other is Li Mubai, the Zhao family's military advisor who has worked with Ye Shiguan for several years.
Li Mubai is a well-educated and well-educated elder brother. Ye Shiguan is an illiterate who has not finished junior high school. So it was actually a bit awkward and awkward for the two big brothers on the road to meet and drink tea on such an occasion. But in Li Mubai's opinion, the young man sitting opposite him, the young man who even gave Fourth Master Zhao a headache, was actually a very ruthless man.
Dropped out of junior high school
Regardless of whether he is in the shopping mall, on the road, or even dealing with high-ranking officials in Mingzhu, Ye Shiguan does not belong to Fourth Master Zhao, and is even better.
Otherwise, how could the current Ye Shiguan suppress the veteran leader Zhao Siye? Otherwise - how could he have seen Ye Shiguan's potential three years ago, made friends with him, and secretly colluded with him at great risk
Just tasting tea. To be honest, Ye Shiguan's tea-making skills were much better than the cheongsam woman in front of him who had been trained for several months and then went to work.
"Go down." Li Mubai took out a wad of money and handed it to the cheongsam woman. "No one is allowed to come in without my order."
"Yes, Boss Li." The cheongsam woman stood up with a smile, took the money and exited the room.
As soon as the woman left, even the sound of tea making fell silent in the room. Seems unusually quiet.
"Boss Ye." Li Mubai took a sip of Dahongpao and said solemnly. "Did you do what happened last night?"
"This is what I want to ask you too." Ye Shiguan smelled the tea scent slowly and took another sip, letting the tea fragrance linger on his tongue. After taking the third sip, he drank it all in one gulp, enjoying the aromatic taste in his mouth. . It conforms to the art of tea tasting and is much more professional than Li Mubai’s tea drinking process.
"What do you want to ask me?" Li Mubai frowned and said in a deep voice. "What do you mean?"
"That's what I want to ask you too." Ye Shiguan put down his teacup and said calmly.
Li Mubai's face changed slightly and he said displeasedly: "Ye Shiguan, don't play riddles with me. I'm very tired. I'm not in the mood to play games with you."
"You think I'm playing riddles with you. But I think you're acting in front of me." Ye Shiguan said unhurriedly. "Zhao Laosi fell down without any warning. But I didn't receive any news. And just one breath away, Zhao Laosi never got up again. Tell me, should I believe you?"
"You doubt me?" Li Mubai asked unhappily.
"Aren't you doubting me too?" Ye Shiguan asked with a smile.
"What good will it do to me if he dies?" Li Mubai said solemnly.
"After he died, you were the real beneficiary. On the contrary, it was me who made your wedding dress for free." Ye Shiguan narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Nonsense." Li Mubai curled his lips. "Just one Chen Chong is enough to give me a headache."
"Him?" Ye Shiguan said calmly. "The dignified military advisor of the Zhao family, since when did you take a fool for granted?"
Li Mubai had a flash of inspiration, as if he realized something, and stared at Ye Shiguan coldly: "Did you instigate Chen Chong?"
"Originally he wanted to attack by force." Ye Shiguan said with narrowed eyes.
"Force attack?" Li Mubai said with a smile. "If he dares to be tough, I can prevent him from seeing the sun tomorrow."
"So I taught him a smarter method. But unfortunately, he is too stupid. He has fame, people, and even momentum. He can still be kicked out by a little girl." Ye Shiguan said calmly. "What a idiot."
