Gu Shitong's covetousness of the Qinghua Plant was both unexpected and reasonable. Looking at Qingzhou and even the entire Jiangdong Province, there were many people who were qualified, capable, and visionary, but apart from Gu Shitong, there was no one else who had the guts to continue operating the Qinghua Plant project after Fan Hengan's failure.
Of course, this courage is based on first-hand intelligence!
People who don't know the inside story of the Qinghua Factory case will hesitate and dare not act rashly, for fear of repeating Fan Heng'an's mistakes, stealing chickens but losing rice, and ruining the foundation of a lifetime. However, Minghua Group is different. With Mu Zechen in charge of the overall situation in Qingzhou and Qi Shu walking between various forces, they can't say that they know everything about the case, but at least they know a lot. Gu Shitong only needs to understand two points. First, the Qinghua Factory is a heavy burden for the government, but for private enterprises, it is a tempting big cake; second, Xu Fuyan urgently needs to get rid of this burden, so he won't mind others eating this cake.
With this understanding, as Ning Xi said, as long as Xu Fuyan nodded, Minghua could legally and reasonably take over the Qinghua Factory without leaving any trouble! And inviting McKinsey from Hujiang showed that Gu Shitong was determined to take over the Qinghua Factory.
What a pity, what a pity that he was still a step late...
Wen Liang showed a strange smile on his face, Ning Xi immediately caught it and asked, "Why? You know why Qingzhou refused, right?"
Wen Liang's heart moved, and he looked up at the girl opposite him who always wore sunglasses. At that moment, although she had tried hard to cover it up, Wen Liang still heard other meanings from this sentence.
He suddenly understood that Ning Xi's words tonight were meant to warn him, lest Wen Huaiming offend someone without knowing it, but on the other hand, she was helping her senior sister from Wharton to gather information.
Only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. Now that we have hit a snag with the government, we must get to the bottom of it clearly, and then we can prescribe the right remedy and turn "cannot" into "can". In McKinsey's dictionary, there is no word "failure".
Wen Liang had dealt with McKinsey's Beijing branch for a long time in his previous life, so he naturally knew this and also knew that their public relations capabilities were not inferior to those of some well-known domestic companies. In a sense, the reason why McKinsey was able to develop rapidly at a speed far exceeding its peers after entering China in 1993 and monopolized the domestic market for a long time was essentially because it adapted to the national conditions the fastest and spent a lot of energy and effort to establish a good relationship with the government, thereby obtaining several times or even dozens of times the return.
Therefore, it was not surprising at all that Senior Sister Wharton found Ning Xi, and then Ning Xi found him.
Wen Liang smiled and said, "It seems that your senior sister is still not giving up on Minghua's business..."
Ning Xi's hand, which was picking up food, paused for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant. After the previous confrontations, her evaluation of Wen Liang had risen to an unprecedented high, but at this moment she still felt a little frightened, and even felt a little fear from the bottom of her heart for the terrifying ability of this sixteen-year-old boy to read people's minds.
The sunglasses well concealed the changes in her eyes. She said calmly: "This is McKinsey's first order to strategically move northwards out of the Yangtze River Delta. We can only win and cannot lose!"
Wen Liang then remembered that McKinsey's Beijing branch would be established later this year to officially develop the northern market. As a link between Hujiang and Beijing, the importance of Jiangdong Province to them was self-evident.
Wen Liang leaned back in his chair, took a sip of the wine in his glass, and said calmly, "There is no such thing as a general who only wins and never loses in this world. Of course, there is no such thing as a business that only wins and never loses!"
Ning Xi lowered her head, gently stroking the wine glass in her hand, and remained silent.
Just as Wen Liang said at the street corner, although Ning Xi was open-minded and cheerful, she was actually a very proud person deep down. One could tell with her ass that, with her family background, figure and appearance, and the fact that she was a top student at Wharton Business School, if she didn't have a bit of pride in her heart, she would really be considered a saint.
She believed that you should get as much return as you put in, which was clearly demonstrated in the negotiation of Qinghe Soy Milk. Similarly, you should pay the same price for the return you want, so tonight, although she came to sound out the situation, she first revealed the inside story of Wen Huaiming's appointment being blocked, and then used this opportunity to ask Wen Liang to provide the reason why McKinsey's acquisition plan was rejected.
There is give and take, exchange of interests, and the pursuit of maximizing self-interest is the only goal. This is the pure rationality studied by "Western Economics". Of course, as the theoretical basis of economics, "pure rationality" only ignores the non-essential details and simplifies and idealizes reality. As an elite in Wharton, Ning Xi is undoubtedly one of those who are closest to "pure rationality".
And this group of people are almost all the outstanding people who are influential and famous in the business, economics, politics and capital markets!
It can also be seen from this that even though Ning Xi has become familiar with Wen Liang, in her proud heart, she only regards him as a partner, not a friend who can trust her with life and death.
Wen Liang didn't mind Ning Xi at this moment, although he might prefer the girl who stood on tiptoe with her hands behind her back and looked around, the girl who drank the wine with high spirits, the girl who rushed to eat the lamb skewers, or even shouted "it's not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth" for a piece of baby cabbage, but he also understood that what he needed was a business partner, not a friend, a female friend!
In a sense, Wen Liang also has a tendency to transform into "pure rationality". Apart from pride, he and Ning Xi have many similarities. Time in the future will gradually prove this point!
Wen Liang poured her a glass of wine and said, "I know why the city rejected Minghua's proposal. The municipal party committee and government have other plans for Qinghua Plant, but it will be useless to tell you. Gu Shitong is ambitious and will never agree to the city's conditions. Besides," he smiled slightly, "Minghua and McKinsey are both wrong. Qinghua Plant is not only not a burden to Qingzhou, but also needs to take a completely different path in the reform of state-owned enterprises and continue to be the driving force for Qingzhou's economic development."
Ning Xi could tell from the sincerity in Wen Liang's words that he was not just making up an excuse to fool her. She knew that for Wen Liang to say this was already a huge concession, so she smiled and raised her glass: "I'll wait and see!"
"But," Wen Liang's wretched uncle factor was instantly activated, "Isn't your senior sister also my senior sister? I can't let her come to Jiangdong for nothing! How about this, if she can do me a small favor, the Qinghua Factory business can still be handed over to her. She will make less money, but her reputation after it is successful will be ten times better than helping Minghua Group!"
Ning Xi automatically ignored the words of flattery before, thought for a moment, and said, "Tell me about it."
"As long as Gu Shitong gives up the idea of acquiring the Qinghua Factory, I would like to ask Senior Sister to use a trick to make Gu Shitong lose interest in the Xinxing Chemical Factory. In other words, give He Xihua another choice..."
Ning Xi's mind raced. From the information she got from her senior sister, Gu Shitong had no interest in Xinxing. Even if He Xihua was the matchmaker, it would be very difficult for him to spend tens of millions to clean up a useless mess. Although Minghua was founded by Gu Shitong, it also had dozens of shareholders, big and small. If it weren't for the Qinghua Factory as a bargaining chip, it would be difficult for him to convince the board of directors to approve a rubbish investment worth tens of millions.
Of course, in China, commercial activities have never been independent of politics. The reason for this dilemma is mainly due to the current political situation in Jiangdong Province. In normal times, let alone 10 million, even 20 million, it is a very high cost-effective to be able to make friends with a powerful executive vice governor. In the future, if you loosen your hands in government bidding, municipal engineering, infrastructure construction and other aspects, won’t the rewards be greater
However, since Yu Peidong returned from the 5th Plenary Session of the 14th Central Committee, the impact of the personnel changes at the top began to gradually emerge in Jiangdong. The contradictions that were once buried under Yu Peidong's iron-fisted rule began to emerge, with all kinds of open and covert attacks, all kinds of rumors, and all kinds of factions mixed together. People inside and outside the bureau could feel the calm before the storm.
It is still unknown whether He Xihua can keep his hat in this turmoil. Even if he can, Gu Shitong dare not place such a big bet at this sensitive moment - once He Xihua steps down in the future and his opponent takes over, Minghua Group will face a devastating disaster.
As the richest man in Jiangdong Province, Gu Shitong is no longer at the age of gambling. With his status and position, what he needs is to stand firm in this weird situation, not offend anyone, and not be partial to anyone, just like he did in the political struggle in Qingzhou!
Therefore, as long as Qingzhou insists on not adopting Minghua's acquisition plan, Gu Shitong may consider He Xihua's face and take out some money to make a gesture of restructuring Xinxing Chemical. But anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on with this gesture. Shouting slogans, holding meetings, and delaying the construction for several years is purely a superficial solution, which only makes things worse.
Therefore, as long as the senior sister gives Gu Shi a feasibility report and gives him the same way, it will be easy for him to give up Xinxing!
It was mentioned that giving He Xihua another choice would make things even simpler!
“McKinsey may not do anything that goes against business ethics…”
Wen Liang thought to himself, sister, I know McKinsey better than you do!
"I don't see anything that violates business ethics. McKinsey just closed one case and then took on another. Although the bid is the same, the employer and the plan are different. Even if Gu Shitong knew about it, he couldn't say no! Sister Ning Xi, I decided to help our senior sister out of your face. Please don't say 'I want to shine my heart on the moon, but the moon only shines on the ditch' again..."
He took advantage of the situation and called her "senior sister" all the time. His shameless appearance formed a sharp contrast with the meticulous planning in his words, which made him attractive in a different way.
Ning Xi burst out laughing: "I don't know you yet, who knows what you are up to!"
At this point, she suddenly understood and exclaimed, "You want to alienate the relationship between Gu Shitong and He Xihua... Great, you got your revenge without bloodshed, awesome, awesome!"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Revenge is just a convenience. The key is to appease a tigress. Didn't you see that she almost wanted to eat me just now? I'm so scared!"
Ning Xi was about to fight, but Wen Liang quickly begged for mercy, "Gu Shitong is deeply rooted in Guanshan. He and He Xihua are both old foxes. How can they be separated so easily? But it would be good if we could use this opportunity to let them have some small trouble with each other. A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole. Take your time. I have plenty of time!"
Ning Xi couldn't help but say, "Although I don't want to admit it, I think it would be a very wrong decision for Gu Shitong to mess with you! I'm still a little puzzled now. Just because you blocked his acquisition plan, you dared to put pressure on the provincial government to interfere with the appointment of a director-level cadre. Isn't this a bit too arrogant?"
Wen Liang recalled his father's expression when he talked about the appointment that night. He didn't think there was anything unusual at the time, but only now did he realize what he had been deliberately avoiding. When faced with his questioning, he just glossed over the issue.
He may not know who is behind this, but he just doesn't want to tell me. Gu Shitong is famous in Qingzhou, and Wen Huaiming may be worried that he might do something he shouldn't do in a moment of impulse, so he concealed the truth.
Wen Liang smiled faintly: "This is Qingzhou!"
The tough folk customs of Qingzhou are certainly not a reason for Gu Shitong to be arrogant. Wen Liang received too much information tonight and had not thought about this for a while. He pushed the hot pot away, dipped some soup with chopsticks, lined up all the things that had happened in recent times in a line on the table, and then connected all the connections. His face gradually became heavy.
The McKinsey team entered Guanshan before the publication of "The Tragedy of Grain", that is, not long after Fan Heng'an fell, Gu Shitong began to plan to acquire the Qinghua Factory. When the Shunyi case was exposed, Zi Buyu was obviously a cannon fodder. Wen Liang and others have never figured out who the mastermind behind the scenes is, but three points can be confirmed: first, he has great power in Guanshan, as evidenced by his ability to use the provincial newspaper; second, Guo Changsheng was exposed immediately after he stopped the car, and he was aware of every move in Qingzhou and even Shunyi; third, only He Xihua clearly expressed his concern afterwards, so he should have a close relationship with He Xihua.
Who could this person be
Wen Liang frowned, forming a deep "川" character. At this moment tonight, the answer was no longer a mystery.
Gu Shitong’s Minghua Group may not be the only one behind the scenes, or even the main force, but it is definitely involved!
It can be imagined that after Yu Peidong clearly expressed his support for Xu Fuyan, Qingzhou has become the focus and attention of many people. Coincidentally, when the Shunyi grain case was exposed, some people with ulterior motives united to stir up turmoil in Qingzhou, so as to take advantage of the situation and attack at a critical moment.
Don't underestimate Qingzhou City. The reason why a tiger is a tiger is that no one dares to touch its butt. If someone pulls out a fang in front of it, although it is not fatal at the time, the tiger's power will be gone. The day when all its teeth are pulled out and even its skin is stripped off is not far away.
And Qingzhou is Yu Peidong’s first canine tooth!
Gu Shitong either personally participated in the scene, or hid nearby, saw an opportunity, and took advantage of He Xihua to give Xu Fuyan a head start. Then Xu Fuyan went to Guanshan in person, and Yin Qingquan came forward to mediate. He Xihua gave him face and did not pursue the matter further. But in this way, Xu Fuyan felt the majesty of He Xihua and owed him a big favor.
With both authority and human touch, what can't be solved? Gu Shitong thought the time was right, and the right people and right time, so McKinsey made a detailed acquisition plan and discussed the Qinghua Plant with the Qingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. He thought it was foolproof, but he was slapped hard in the face, the plan was rejected, and the acquisition was not agreed!
It is conceivable how angry and humiliated He Xihua and Gu Shitong would be. Xu Fuyan is difficult to deal with, but if they interfere with Wen Huaiming's appointment, they can get a slap in the face!
But politics is not the game where the hero and heroine slap each other in the face as in "My Sassy Girl". Here, slapping can be fatal!
Wen Liang smiled bitterly. Even though it had come to this, it was a good thing that his dad still said it was no big deal.
Ning Xi sighed and said, "You're right. This trip to Qingzhou really opened my eyes!"
Wen Liang retracted his thoughts and said, "In fact, you really opened my eyes... Xixi, you have only been in Qingzhou for a few days, how come you know so much about the various relationships in the province and the city?"
"Xixi? This is a good name. I grant you permission to call me this from now on!"
Wen Liang said in distress: "Can you focus on the key point? The key is the back, the back!"
"Oh, Jiangdong," Ning Xi chuckled, "My family has some friends in Jiangdong, and it's very simple to get any intelligence I want. Speaking of this, I couldn't sleep at night recently, so I carefully studied the whole story of the Qinghua Factory case and found many strange things. It seems that there is a lack of a thread that can string all the things together... Liangliang, you are so smart, can you tell me what is missing?"
Wen Liang was almost disgusted by this "Lang Liang" and vomited, but he smiled meanly and said, "Can't sleep at night? What's wrong? Is it because you can't sleep alone, or you feel lonely in your empty room..."
This time it was Ning Xi's turn to be distressed. She said, "The key point of this sentence is the missing line!"
"Xixi..."
"Forgive me!"
"Xixi... Okay, I admit that you are better at naming than I am. Let's get back to the way things were!"
"Yeah, I'm almost going to vomit!"
Such a conversation between two people who are known for their wisdom shows that they drank too much tonight. Wen Liang decisively decided to pay the bill and leave.
Ning Xi was also afraid that if she drank too much, something uncontrollable would happen. So far, her trust in Wen Liang did not include being able to put herself in his hands completely. The two of them supported each other and walked out of the hot pot restaurant. Ning Xi couldn't help shivering in the cold wind. Wen Liang was strong and didn't feel cold, so he took off his coat and put it on her. Ning Xi trembled slightly, wrapped her hands around the collar tightly, and whispered, "Thank you!"
It was late at night, and Dehua Street had become less crowded and more chilly. Two people, one in front and one behind, were walking in the moonlight, their shadows slowly lengthening on the ground and then quietly overlapping.
Holding a few strands of apricot rain, fishing in the lake for half a day, feeling leisurely and free.
Pinch two wisps of plum fragrance, warm a pot of moonlight, and it is full of poetry.
In the most vulgar food street in the world, two of the most vulgar and rational people in the world, while walking together, walked out with a unique sense of freedom and a sense of elegance.
Before I even reached the street corner, I heard the guy selling kebabs yelling at the top of his voice: "Whoever dares to move, get off the car. The knife in my hand is not vegetarian!"
This is true. That knife is specially used to cut mutton, but I have never eaten vegetarian food. Wen Liang knew at a glance that it was broken. The Porsche was still targeted by the gangsters. There were seven or eight people surrounding the car, all holding beer bottles in their hands, drinking from time to time. Two or three of them were obviously unsteady on their feet, and they were huddled together. One of them had long hair, a flowered top, bell-bottom pants, and a pair of shiny pointed leather shoes. He sounded a little effeminate. He pointed at Gu Ge and cursed: "Uneducated people are annoying. Do you really think that the Porsche is your tricycle? What's your business? Get out of the way quickly. I'm just going to have my hands on it and return it tomorrow. I'll call you MB!"
The long-haired man is nicknamed Fa Sao. His biggest wish in life is to touch Chow Yun-fat's hand, but don't think he is gay because he can straighten his hand when necessary. He is a legendary two-way plug. In Qingzhou in 1995, he was considered a gifted person and a famous ruffian in Dehua. Unlike ordinary ruffians who eat, drink, fight and molest women, Fa Sao is engaged in second-hand car resale. Although most of them are illegal cars, he always calls himself a legitimate businessman. He has money and people under him. He manages this place from top to bottom and his business is quite popular. Today, I went out for a drink and a drive with my brothers. When I drove a van past here, I saw this Porsche. After so many years in Qingzhou, this is the first time I have seen such an expensive car. I immediately became greedy.
It is said that Fa's wife would usually go out and steal a few cars to sell, but if she had not drunk too much today and lost control of her mind, she would not dare to think about the Porsche. First, it is difficult to sell, and second, it will cause trouble. But she could not resist the instigation of her brothers, and with the connections in Guanshan, she changed the appearance and sprayed some paint, and it was not impossible to sell it. Looking at the license plate, she knew that it was done by an outsider. Who knows better than Fa's wife whether there are Porsches in the local area? Since it is an out-of-town car, the license plate must not be a good one, so she had no scruples and wanted to steal it and leave, but she didn't expect to be blocked by Gu Ge with a knife!
Gu Ge was an honest man. He had only been in Dehua Street for a short time and did not recognize Fa Sao. He remembered Wen Liang's entrustment and refused to give in. The business people around him had already avoided him, and the diners had even run away. They were all born and raised in Qingzhou, and they were more familiar with what to do in such occasions than taking off their wives' clothes.
"Damn it!" Mrs. Fa was aroused and pinched her waist and shouted, "Beat him up, beat him up so hard that his mother can't even come out!"
Wen Liang pulled Ning Xi's hand and said, "Someone stole the car, let's go!"
"Steal a car. Whose car is it?"
Ning Xi's eyes were blurry, she was drunk, and her words were silly and cute. Wen Liang pulled her hand in annoyance and ran to the street corner.
Gu Ge's calves were spinning, but his eyes suddenly lit up and he cried out in a tearful voice, "Brother, you're back! It's so hard to earn these ten dollars from you!"
Wen Liang smiled and asked, "What's going on? Why is it so lively?"
When Mrs. Fa heard that the real owner was back, she was not scared. She turned around and ignored Wen Liang, and was directly mesmerized by Ning Xi's charm. Even though he couldn't see her eyes through the sunglasses, her figure, chin, waist, legs, and especially her drunken charm almost made him excited instantly.
"Nothing to do, just touch your car. Brother, they say a good car is like a wife, you don't mind me touching your wife, right?"
Ning Xi held one hand in Wen Liang's, and wore his shirt, snuggling together like a couple. Hearing that the boss was taking advantage of him, the gang immediately started to make a noise, "Either touch the car or touch my wife, choose one!"
"If you ask me, our sister-in-law is so sharp, she might as well take the car and the wife too!"
"Yes, let's do it together and then lie in the car and touch my wife. It will be as comfortable as it can be!"
Ning Xi also came to her senses at this time. Her face changed when she heard the words. Wen Liang let go of her hand and suddenly pointed to the distance, shouting, "There's a panda!"
I learned this trick from Xu Yao, and it’s actually quite effective!
Everyone turned around at the same time, and there was not a single hair in the dark alley. Mrs. Fa knew she had been tricked, and turned around angrily, cursing, "Panda, you MB..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a huge foot coming towards him. Then he felt a pain on his cheek and fell heavily to the ground. Everyone was stunned. What kind of character are you? We were talking peacefully, but you came up and hit me. Do you still want to be reasonable
"Can I borrow your knife?"
Gu Ge's hand lightened and the kitchen knife fell into Wen Liang's hand. He put it to Fa Sao's neck and applied a little force. A thin line of blood flowed out. He screamed in pain and almost lost control of his bladder.
"May I ask your last name?"
"Fa, Fa... Sister Fa..."
"What a nice name!" Wen Liang couldn't help but praise it. There were many men who admired Brother Fa, but not many strong men who dared to express their feelings like this. "But it's terrible to be uneducated. I asked you what your surname is, but you don't know what it is? Among the Hundred Family Surnames, there is Ximen, Nangong, and Sister Fa, right?"
As he spoke, the knife slid again, penetrating another three inches into the flesh, and the blood line suddenly widened.
When Fa Sao lowered her head, she saw the blood on her neck and wailed, "No, no, we can talk it over, we can talk it over!"
"Okay, let me ask again, what are you doing around the car in the middle of the night?"
Wen Liang knew that there was nothing to talk about with the gangsters in Qingzhou. There was no one familiar with him at this time, so it was useless to tell anyone's name. Not to mention that they didn't believe him, even if they did, they couldn't just run away. Being in the underworld requires courage, and a coward can't be the boss.
He drank too much today, and Ning Xi was a burden. If he really got into a fight, he would be abused. It didn't matter if the car was smashed, and it was okay to be beaten up, but looking at the lustful look in Fa Sao's eyes just now, if Ning Xi might also be humiliated, then it would not be solved by forbearance. So he made a prompt decision to capture the thief first, and controlled Fa Sao in one fell swoop. When Ning Xi got in the car and started the car, her personal safety was guaranteed first, and then he would be in the mood to settle the score later!
"Visit, visit!" Fa Sao said with a knife on her neck, not daring to hesitate. Just now, the feeling of the blade piercing her flesh really scared her. He was a man who had been in the underworld for many years. Most people would not be afraid even if they pointed a knife at his penis. Just one look would tell whether the other person had the guts. But Wen Liang had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold, as if he would kill anyone immediately if he said something that didn't suit his heart.
At this time, Mrs. Fa gradually sobered up and recalled the rumors that many playboys could kill people without paying with their lives. Then she looked at the Porsche and the elegant girl next to it. The identity of the man holding the knife was self-evident.
The younger brothers around him finally reacted and shouted, "Put down the knife, you MB, put down the knife!"
"Boy, let our boss go quickly, or I'll skin you alive!"
While everyone was cursing, two people came around from the shadows on the other side, holding a one-meter-long steel pipe in their hands, trying to hit Wen Liang from behind. Ning Xi was stunned when Wen Liang suddenly kicked someone, and then she saw him holding a knife across Fa Sao's neck, and scarlet blood flowed from under the knife. The determination and courage seemed to have changed him in an instant.
Ning Xi stared blankly at Wen Liang's back. No matter if he was the hateful one during the negotiation, the annoying one during the play, or the one who was advising on everything, with fantastic ideas and knowing everything, at this moment, they were all overlapped in this resolute and courageous back.
She had never seen Wen Liang angry before. The sixteen-year-old boy was always calm, as if everything was under his control. Even after hearing the inside story just now, he did not show the slightest emotional fluctuation.
But now, is it for me
Ning Xi had seen countless men willing to go through fire and water for her since she was little. Not to mention beating up a few hooligans, even if it was ten times more serious, those guys wouldn't even frown. But Wen Liang was so different. Since they met, the two of them had gotten along very well, but Ning Xi knew that this kind of harmony was different from Xu Yao and Wen Liang, Ning Xiaoning and Wen Liang, and Li Siqing and Wen Liang. This was just a wise man who was well-versed in the world doing a trivial thing. He could close the distance between people in the shortest time, and warm everyone's hearts with the most cordial smile, but his heart would always stay in a place you could never touch.
The reason why Ning Xi understood was because she was also such a person!
But precisely because of this, based on her understanding of Wen Liang, she knew that the scene just now must have a more appropriate and gentler solution, but he immediately chose a method that would allow her to avoid being insulted, but would put himself in danger!
Ning Xi couldn't tell whether it was because of drunkenness or a real feeling, and there was a slight numbness in her heart!
If Wen Liang knew all this, he would definitely be in tears and laughter. He certainly didn't want Ning Xi to be verbally taken advantage of by these hooligans, but he wouldn't make an impulsive decision just for this. In the final analysis, outsiders don't understand Qingzhou, and don't understand the customs and habits of this place that are deeply rooted in the bones!
Sometimes, you have to use your fists first and then your father!
"careful!"
Ning Xi screamed, and Wen Liang's knife instantly moved down, his eyes were as ruthless as ice and snow. Fa Sao was finally frightened and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Get out, all of you go back, don't move, I'll kill anyone who dares to move!"
The two thugs holding up the steel pipes looked at each other and slowly retreated.
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Sister Fa, can we have a good talk now?"
"Yes, yes, you have the final say!"
"Ning Xi, use the phone in my pocket to call Liu Tianlai... Ning Xi, Ning Xi!"
Wen Liang was so angry that he vomited blood. You better not fail at the critical moment. Ning Xi suddenly came back to her senses, groaned, and fumbled around in the pockets of her coat. Wen Liang wanted to die. Girl, do you think holding someone's neck with a knife is a skill? It's a physical job, right? After just a short while, my biceps are sore!
"Pants pocket..."
Ning Xi blushed, feeling that her performance from just now till now had been extremely bad. She no longer had any of her usual quick wit and composure, like a crazy girl.
Bah, you are such a nymphomaniac!
Ning Xi pouted and glared at Wen Liang, which made Uncle Wen confused. She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and reached into her trouser pocket to get out her cell phone. Because Wen Liang was kneeling on Fa Sao's chest, the cell phone was close to Xiao Wen through her clothes. Ning Xi fiddled with it for a while before she took it out. Although the contact was only two or three seconds, it made both of them tremble.
However, Ning Xi was much calmer at this moment. She dialed Liu Tianlai's number without changing her expression, and then put her hand to Wen Liang's ear.
Thank God, there was no power outage and the computer was not turned off.
"Uncle Liu, do you know any of the Fa Sao in Dehua?"
Liu Tianlai had been dealing with He Kuan's affairs these past two days, and he couldn't suppress his excitement as he said, "Bu Dingkun? I know. What's wrong, Master Wen?"
It turns out that this guy's name is Bu Dingkun. If you break it down and read it, it means "不易曰比". It's both straight and crooked. His father is very insightful!
"We came to Dehua for dinner and had a small conflict with Mrs. Fa. Can you please ask for mercy and let us go?"
Liu Tianlai was startled and asked, "Are you okay, Master Wen? I'll call someone over right away..."
"No need, it's no big deal, just say a word!" Wen Liang understood Liu Tianlai's current situation. He was in Shunyi and was controlled by Lin Zhen in the Municipal Bureau. Mobilizing police force for such a small matter would inevitably give rise to gossip.
Liu Tianlai was a smart man. He understood Wen Liang's meaning and was grateful. He said quickly, "Give him the phone. I'll talk to him!"
Wen Liang motioned Ning Xi to pass the phone to Mrs. Fa, who took it with trembling hands. Just as she put it to her ear, she heard Liu Tianlai yelling, "Bu Dingkun, I'm Liu Tianlai, do you want to die? Get out of here right now, or I'll kill you when I get back!"
Liu Tianlai's hot temper was known throughout Qingzhou, and no one on the street was not afraid of him. Fa Sao's body trembled, and the sharp blade on her neck oozed blood again. Facing Fa Sao's resentful look, Wen Liang coughed dryly and said, "Mistake, mistake!"
"I know, I know, Director Liu, it's all my fault for being blind. I accidentally offended your people. I will kowtow and apologize immediately... No, no, there will never be a next time, don't worry, don't worry!"
Wen Liang took the phone, said it was okay, and then handed it to Ning Xi, but the knife was still pressed on Fa Sao's neck, not moving away. Wen Liang was no longer a young man who didn't know the world. He had been dealing with An Baoqing for so long, and he knew what kind of people were in Qingzhou. Although Liu Tian came to mediate, he had offended Fa Sao so badly tonight. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one. If he really risked his life, the situation would be difficult to clean up.
Holding Fa Sao hostage, he slowly moved to the car and let Ning Xi and Gu Ge get in first. Ning Xi seemed to have just made a phone call, so she turned off her phone and lowered her head to get in the car. Although Gu Ge was honest, he was not stupid. He knew that he had caused a big disaster tonight, and he didn't know how to deal with himself after Wen Liang and the others left. He simply gave up the stall and hid away first, crouching down and getting in the back seat.
Hearing Ning Xi start the car, Wen Liang smiled and said, "Sister Fa, see you later!"
Then she pushed him hard, got him in the car, and closed the door, all in one go. Fa's wife covered her neck, pointed at the car and shouted, "Stop him, stop him!"
A gangster hesitated and said, "Boss, he is Director Liu's man..."
"Fuck Liu Tianlai, what's there to be afraid of a director who is about to fall? At worst, he can just walk away. I'm tired of staying in this crappy place Qingzhou! Ouch, it hurts so much, catch them, you can do whatever you want with the women, but leave the men to me..."
As expected, this guy was determined to go all the way to his death. But it was understandable that anyone who suffered such a great humiliation tonight and did not show any improvement would have no place on the Qingzhou Road in the future. But what made Wen Liang sweat was his last sentence, "Give me the man." Fuck, in my two lives, this was the first time I was so close to the chrysanthemum...
Ning Xi was angry at first, but when she saw Wen Liang's expression, she forgot that she was in danger and was overjoyed. Wen Liang shouted, "GO, GO, GO!"
Mrs. Fa also shouted, "Big Head, drive your car to block them, quick!"
A guy with a huge head had already started the van and was ramming towards them crazily. Ning Xi pushed hard with her feet, and the Porsche was not boasting after all. It rushed out with a whoosh, floated beautifully in front of the van, turned around and left, leaving the gangsters behind in the blink of an eye.
Wen Liang turned his head to look at the rearview mirror, touched his butt secretly, and said, "It's okay!"
Ning Xi noticed his little action, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips. Gu Ge was sitting in the back seat with a sad face, saying, "That's great. I've ruined the whole meal just for ten dollars. How can I explain this to my wife when I get home?"
Looking at the poor man who was implicated, Wen Liang said with full of apology: "Brother Gu, I'm so sorry. But don't worry, I will compensate you for all the losses..."
"No, nothing. I took the money and had to do the job. I don't blame you. If you want to blame someone, blame myself. I am blinded by money. I am blinded by money!"
This man is quite interesting. Wen Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will keep my word. I will deal with those guys later and will not cause you any trouble!" He thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Brother Gu, I see you are setting up an open-air stall at the street corner, so you won't mind having a storefront inside Dehua Street, right?"
"Storefront? The rent is too expensive. I can't afford it."
Wen Liang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, you've saved a car tonight, and someone has paid for the rent!"
Ning Xi turned her head. Although she was wearing sunglasses, Wen Liang knew that he was being given a cold look. This feeling was very strange. He took out his cell phone and prepared to call Wen Huaiming. Liu Tianlai was not in Qingzhou, and he had been unlucky recently, so his impact on the underworld was much smaller. To deal with this gang of thugs, Xu Fuyan had to give orders directly to Lin Zhen. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether he could be caught!
Ning Xi seemed to know what he was thinking. She reached out her right hand and pressed the back of Wen Liang's hand, saying softly, "Don't bother me. I've already made a phone call. Those people won't cause any more trouble."
Wen Liang then remembered that the girl next to him was not some beautiful girl from a small family. She was rich but also powerful!
