Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

Chapter 187: Brother's past

Views:

Xia Shao took advantage of Xu Tianyin's morning meditation time to leave the room. In the main room in front of Shu Huanhu, Tang Zongbo had just gotten up and saw Xia Shao coming over. He was a little surprised, "You girl, why are you so early today? Shouldn't you be meditating at this time? Have you learned to be lazy?"

"It's not under your nose to be lazy." Xia Shao smiled, helped Tang Zongbo sit in the wheelchair, walked to the window to open it for some fresh air, and poured a glass of warm water for the old man. Then he came back and said, "Master, I I have something to ask you."

"Huh?" Tang Zongbo drank the water, raised his eyes, and said with a smile, "You have something to ask? That's strange. You are a little girl, and you have not been very curious since you were a child. What made you run away from meditating so early in the morning? Come and ask Master?"

Xia Shao smiled, knowing that her master understood her. She didn't show off and asked straight to the point: "I want to ask my senior brother about his childhood. What happened before he came to Hong Kong with his master?"

Tang Zongbo was stunned immediately, "Why do you remember to ask about this? Have you asked your senior brother, but he refused to tell you?"

Xia Shao shook his head, that's not the case. Last night when my senior brother was breaking out in a cold sweat, he never said anything that he wouldn't tell her. It’s just that she didn’t dare to ask…

"I didn't dare to ask again rashly. I also asked about it suddenly last night. I had never asked my senior brother before, and he was not mentally prepared. I felt that if I asked, my senior brother would tell me. But I didn't I dare to ask again. I can see that this matter is very tight in my brother's heart. I'm afraid that if I ask suddenly, he will break the string. I just want to ask Master first, and Understand a little bit and take your time in the future.”

This is exactly Xia Shao's purpose. She wanted to learn more from her master first, so that when she slowly enlightened Xu Tianyin in the future, she would also know where to start.

Tang Zongbo looked at Xia Shao's worried look, sighed, put the tea cup on the table beside him, lowered his eyes and sighed, "Oh! You have a reason to worry. Many things will be fine unless you are willing to tell them. Some things are suitable for a strong dose of medicine, a wake-up call, so that people can suddenly wake up. But some things need to be taken slowly, and you need to use time and people around you to slowly care for them. It took your wife ten years to Let Tianyin walk out of the yard at the back, alas! Girl, it’s not that your senior brother is afraid to face it, he is just too affectionate. But he is destined to be lonely. In this life, he has been stuck on the word love. …”

Love word

Xia Shao knew that the so-called love did not all refer to the love between men and women. The love between parents, teachers, husband and wife, and the love between father and son were all the same word. People who are lonely have few relatives and love relationships, which cannot be fulfilled, so they suffer.

"Master, what happened to my brother when he was a child? I can see that his parents died early, is it related to this incident?" Xia Shao squatted down, held the old man's wheelchair next to him, raised his head and asked.

"Alas!" Tang Zongbo sighed, "Of course it is related to this matter. But what exactly this matter is, Master has not fully known for all these years."

"Master doesn't know either?" Xia Shao was stunned.

"I only know a rough outline of it. Do you know your senior brother's family background?" Tang Zongbo asked. When Xia Shao nodded, he said, "Your senior brother's parents were killed abroad. With the Xu family's background, it almost caused trouble." International issues. Even the foreign media did not disclose the details of his parents’ murder that year, so Master only knows a general idea.”

Xu Tianyin's parents were killed when he was three years old. Calculating carefully, it has been twenty-five years. According to the way information was disseminated back then, this matter would naturally not be widely known. Moreover, when information is developed in later generations, if a Chinese citizen is killed abroad, it will easily lead to international disputes if not handled properly, not to mention the sensitive background of the Xu family.

Xia Shao was not surprised by her master's statement. She just didn't expect that her senior brother's parents were killed abroad.

"Abroad?" Xia Shao muttered.

"Yes, abroad." Tang Zongbo stroked his beard and lowered his eyes, "I heard from Mr. Xu that the family of three was going abroad for vacation. Unexpectedly... Alas!"

Tang Zongbo sighed and looked up outside the courtyard. The memories of more than 20 years ago are now a long time ago. When I think back, so many past events come to mind, and it is inevitable to feel that things have changed and people have changed. But he still spoke slowly, "Master and your senior brother's grandfather knew each other in the early years. He is more than ten years older than me, and we are close friends. At that time, I gave instructions to his eldest son, saying that when he was thirty years old, There will be a catastrophe, but it's a pity that he didn't believe me. It was a time when various sports were in full swing. Many traditional things of the older generation were smashed and burnt. Feudal superstition. I don’t know if your senior brother’s grandfather didn’t believe it at the time, or if he really didn’t believe it. In short, at that time, I felt that it was not appropriate to stay in the mainland, so I planned to return to Hong Kong. At that time, I set out from the capital and saw Some of the older generation's things were burned too badly, and I felt sorry for them. I planned to save as many as I could along the way, so I headed south from the capital. It was when I was going south that I met your Uncle Zhang. After rescuing him, I sent him to Also brought to Hong Kong.”

When Tang Zongbo said this, there was a look of regret and self-blame on his face, "I am also responsible for your senior brother's matter. Whether Mr. Xu believes it or not, that is his business. I should know that I am right. But after I came back to Hong Kong, things were busy here, so I gradually forgot about this matter. Later, after many policies in the mainland were liberalized, I received another case of shady house feng shui. I took a trip to the mainland. That trip happened to be to the capital, and I met Mr. Xu again in the capital. At that time, I saw at a glance that he was in pain of losing his son, as if he had been struck by thunder, and then I remembered that this happened in the distance. During the several years between the two places, I forgot about it... "

Tang Zongbo lamented and blamed himself, "Just because I forgot and couldn't stop it, Tianyin's parents died. He was only three years old and almost died. I first saw him in the Xu family At that time, he was just like this." The old man stretched out his hand and compared the height of a three-year-old boy, "He looks cute, but he can't speak. He doesn't speak or look at people. Your senior brother and his grandfather said he was frightened. "

"Scared?" Xia Shao looked up at the old man.

"Yes." The old man nodded, "I also heard what Mr. Xu said... Your senior brother's parents were killed in a hotel. The old man didn't mention the grudges and how tragic they were. He only said that he was in the hotel that year. Your senior brother was not found there. Everyone thought he had been kidnapped or killed elsewhere, even the foreign police thought so. But no one expected that he was found in the hotel in the end. He was just his parents The room where he was murdered was hidden in an incredible place. It was under the mattress of the hotel, in a wooden dark box. That place was originally a dark drawer used by ordinary people to store sundries, but it was not used in the hotel, so it was always empty. It should be him His mother hid him in there, but the police still thought it was a miracle that he survived. The air in there was not enough for people to survive for a long time, and he spent three days in there."

Xia Shao listened and covered her mouth with her hand.

"When I first saw your senior brother in the Xu family, I knew that he was not frightened and his soul was wandering, but that he seemed to be trapped in a world. I used my vitality and medicine to nurse him back to health for a while. Only he can look at people and respond when called upon. There were still many things going on in Hong Kong at that time, and I was the one who proposed bringing your senior brother to Hong Kong. I feel that I am also responsible for this matter, and I had not confiscated my disciples at that time. After reading your senior brother's horoscope, I knew that he had an unusual destiny and was born to be a Taoist, so Mr. Xu brought it up."

"Your senior brother's grandfather... Alas! He also blamed himself for the death of his son. He blamed himself for not listening to me. So when I brought it up, he only thought about it for two days before agreeing to me. He claimed that I was an old man. Chinese medicine, let your senior brother follow me to Hong Kong for recuperation. Although your senior brother was young at the time, he was actually a smart child and knew it very well. From the time he left the Xu family in my arms until he came to Hong Kong, he never cried or fussed. He has always been very quiet. At that time, your master's wife was still alive and she always took care of him as if he were her own child."

Tang Zongbo's eyes kept falling on the courtyard. It was a scenery that had not changed in decades. It was as if looking at the scenery in the courtyard could bring him back to the past. He spoke slowly, and Xia Shao listened quietly, but couldn't help but have mood swings, thinking about those days.

Back then, a three-year-old boy went out to play with his parents, but he didn't want his parents to be assassinated the night he checked into the hotel. When a mother is in a critical moment, the first thing she thinks of is to hide her young son. She might have looked through the closet or the wine cabinet, but nothing was safe. Finally, a dark box made of wooden boards was found under the mattress in the hotel. She hid her young son here. When covering the wooden board, she may have told him, don't make a sound, don't move, don't be afraid, no matter what happens.

He was just a child at the time. He was obedient and didn't make a sound or move. But whether he was afraid or not, only he knew. The wooden box under the mattress was dark and depressing. The three-year-old boy lay inside, like a tailor-made small coffin. So that no one would notice, his mother covered the box and pushed the mattress back into place so that everything looked untouched. In such a dangerous time, the mother is thinking about how to let the child escape first. She may not have time to think about the possibility that he will be suffocated inside. Perhaps at the moment of death, the mother can only hope that the young child is smart enough. He will make a sound when he hears the police coming, and he will be rescued.

But she didn't expect that he was very obedient and didn't make any sound. Hiding in a wooden box under the bed, he heard his mother being murdered with his own ears. No one knows how he spent that long night in the dark and depressing small space. No one knows how long three days is for a child as young as three years old.

He didn't even make a sound when the police came. It wasn't until his body hit the bed board at the end of his life that he was discovered. When he was rescued, his parents were not seen. He never saw his parents again. The words his mother said when she hid him under the bed became his last memory as a child.

He was trapped in this memory and kept it.

Silent, motionless.

Until another important person in his life appeared.

Master brought him to Hong Kong, and his wife raised him like a mother. At first, he was not used to it. At night, he found the closet in the house and slept in it, making his master and his wife almost think he had lost it. After searching around, I finally found him in the closet. His wife felt sorry for him and stayed with him at night. During the day, the master taught him martial arts, metaphysics, and the impermanence of life. She even hired a tutor to teach him literacy and reading, so that he could receive an elite education. They were his master and master, but they treated him like their own son.

He never left the yard before he was five years old. After that, he started practicing martial arts on the plum blossom pile in the backyard. But he has never left this house, and he has never even returned to the capital during the New Year.

In Xuanmen, all the disciples know that the head patriarch has accepted a direct disciple, but no one has seen him. It is rumored in the sect that he is a real disciple who enters the house to meditate and does not see outsiders. But in fact, he is lonely and unwilling to communicate with others.

Until, when he was fourteen years old, his wife passed away due to illness.

He lost his mother again, but before her death, she had a last wish.

She just hopes he can get out and live a normal life.

His wife's last wish became another curse engraved in his heart. He spent a year quickly adapting to the outside world and returned to the capital when he was fifteen.

After returning to the capital, he received special training and entered a special department. After that, he lived a bloody life abroad performing dangerous missions. He didn't know if this was a normal life, but at least he had complied with his wife's last wish, walked out, and visited many countries and places...

Xia Shao didn't know how she walked away from the master. She only knew that she had tears streaming down her face when she walked out. The pain in her heart couldn't stop, and tears welled up in her eyes. She found a place to sit under a tree, adjusting her breath and energy, making sure that everything looked normal.

She still had many questions, such as why his parents were killed, how they were dealt with afterwards, and how he was rescued back then. But these questions were no longer important in her mind. What was important was that the mistress could use ten years to let him go out, and she could use a lifetime to let him live a normal life.

All the hardships of youth will eventually pass, and she can spend her whole life with him to experience the word happiness.

Xia Shao sat under the tree for a while, until she was sure that her breath had calmed down, her eyes were no longer red, and her voice was no longer hoarse, then she got up and returned to the backyard.

There was no one in Xu Tianyin's room, and Xia Shao found him in the kitchen.

The man was wearing an apron and walking around the stove, and the aroma of rice-treasure porridge in the pot was fragrant. He looked into the pot, gently stirring the rice porridge with the spoon, watching the bubbles popping up, his eyes focused.

In the current season, the weather has turned cooler, but Xu Tianyin was only wearing a thin black sweater with a large V-neckline, and her chest and collarbone were sexyly exposed. But Xia Shao didn't feel sexy at this time. She finally understood why he didn't like to wear high-collared clothes, and she finally understood why he never wore much clothes. Probably due to his childhood experiences, he felt hot or suffocated.

Xu Tianyin noticed Xia Shao as soon as she came outside the kitchen. He turned to look at her and saw her eyes looking into the pot, so he said, "It's almost ready."

Xia Shao smiled, walked in, looked into the pot and sniffed, "It smells so good! As soon as I saw my senior brother cooking eight-treasure porridge, I knew it was the weekend."

She has not forgotten that when Xu Tianyin just found her master in Dongshi, she spent the New Year with the old man in the mountains. He took care of the old man's food, clothing and daily life every day. She still remembers the breakfast recipe. He rotates through the week, with oats on Monday, milk on Tuesday, soy milk on Wednesday, and porridge from Thursday to weekend, but they are red bean porridge, mung bean porridge, white rice porridge and eight-treasure porridge respectively! At that time, she had laughed at this recipe, thinking that her senior brother was a cute alien species. Thinking about it now, seeing this porridge only made her feel warm and soft.

"Senior brother is the best at cooking porridge, who did you learn it from?" Xia Shao asked with a smile.

"Master." The man stirred the rice porridge in the pot, scooped it up, looked at it, and turned off the heat.

Xia Shao was not surprised at all, but she smiled and said: "I have never met Master, so I can't learn it even if I want to. No wonder Master likes the porridge cooked with Senior Brother, so that's how it is. No, I want to learn too!"

She looked like I would compete with you for the master's favor after learning the lesson, but Xu Tianyin looked at her and nodded, "Okay."

As soon as he stretched out his arm, he took a pot, squatted down and scooped white rice, red beans, mung beans, longan, ice (forbidden words), sugar and other things into the pot, then stood up and washed the rice. Xia Shao saw him and held him down, "What for?"

"Teach you." The man replied matter-of-factly.

Xia Shao stared blankly at the pot of porridge, "I've already cooked one pot. I'm going to cook another pot. Do you plan to eat it for a day?"

The man followed her gaze, his dark eyes staring at the pot of steaming porridge. After a while, he looked at the girl next to him again, "Well. You said you want to learn."

Xia Shao bit her lip, but her heart felt warm. This warmth touched the corners of her brows and eyes, making people unable to look away. But the corners of her lips curled up, a bit like a little fox. If her senior brother wants to teach her, she will naturally learn it. As for whether you can finish eating, that is something that only the master has to consider.

Tang Zongbo sneezed outside. He didn't know that the unscrupulous female disciple wanted him to drink all the porridge in the two pots, but today he felt that breakfast was later than usual.

Not a little late, but an hour late.

When the meal started, Tang Zongbo watched Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin carrying a large pot of eight-treasure porridge to the table with a smile. The corner of the old man's mouth suddenly twitched. Of course he couldn't finish the drink, so in the end he had to ask Zhang Zhong to call all the disciples of the Zhang family first. The disciples had just finished breakfast, and each of them had a bowl of eight-treasure porridge stuffed into their hands, and their faces looked bitter.

But they don't know that this day has just begun. Because Xia Shao decided that in the future, weekend mornings would be the time for her and her senior brother to learn how to make porridge. As for the porridge, everyone would naturally have to work together to solve it.

While the disciples were drinking porridge, Xia Shao went out of the yard and called Emily.

After Emily separated from Xia Shao at noon yesterday, she began to acquire the land of the Ghost Primary School. That piece of land has been neglected for many years, and no developer has even bought it to build a cemetery. Now a real estate company has offered to buy it, so the Lands Department naturally has no reason to refuse.

But as Xia Shao expected, this land was supposed to be very cheap, but after the land administration learned that Aida Real Estate was a company registered in Hong Kong from the mainland, they deliberately raised the price and said nothing about the rumors of being haunted. Emily submitted a bunch of information about the school's rumors and used the opportunity to lower the price. However, the Lands Department said it was nonsense and told Emily to respect science and not be fooled by unnecessary rumors.

Xia Shao had expected this situation. Aida Real Estate came to Hong Kong to develop. The three major companies, Sanhe, Jiahui, and Century, divided the real estate market. There were also hundreds of small real estate companies struggling to survive on the ground in Hong Kong. Such a situation In such a situation, it is not easy for small local real estate companies to run business, let alone Ada Real Estate from outside

Apart from finding a way out of a land that no one wants, where else can Aida Real Estate buy it

The people at the Lands Department had this idea, so it was naturally not easy for Emily to buy the land at a low price. The Land Affairs Department took an official stance and concluded that Ada Real Estate had no roots in Hong Kong, not even personal connections, and had no other choice but to follow the rules and regulations.

This is a sure deal for Ada Real Estate! I just want to collect more money from Ada Real Estate.

When Xia Shao called Emily, she was coming out of the Lands Department, "Mr. Xia, I have told the land people that if the price is not within our ideal range, we will give up the development of this land. But they seemed to think this was a ploy, so they didn't try to keep me."

Xia Shao laughed after hearing this, "Then let them continue to take Qiao and ignore it. Let's cool down the land area of Gui Primary School first and let them cool down so that they can clear their heads. I still have some acquisitions here. Make a plan, start it."

Xia Shao reported the address of the community where Qu Ran's home was located, detailed what he saw in the community yesterday, and told Emily his strategies and plans. Emily didn't understand Feng Shui, but Xia Shao's plan made her eyes shine brighter as she listened to it. She stood at the door of the Land Administration Office in high spirits and with high morale!

"I understand, Mr. Xia. I'll get started immediately!"

"Yeah." After Xia Shao hung up the phone, she stood in the yard for a while, looked in the direction of the Lands Department, and hummed.

Within three months, she had the land administration come to her door and beg Ada Real Estate to acquire the land!

Putting away her phone, Xia Shao turned and walked towards the backyard. She has always controlled the general direction of the company's affairs and let each department implement the details. Today she still has her own things to do.

Let senior brother accompany her to read a book!

But Xia Shao didn't know that while she was reading and reviewing in the study and Emily returned to the company to start the acquisition plan of Quran Community, two men were sitting in the reception room of Century Real Estate Company.

Both of them were only in their thirties, no more than forty years old. One is Qu Tao, the chairman of Century Group, and the other is Shen Hai, a triad leader.

Qu Tao is only 39 years old. After ten years of hard work in the real estate industry, Century Group has assets of more than 30 billion. His rapid accumulation of assets is related to the huge profits in the real estate industry, and is naturally inseparable from his ruthless style.

Qu Tao also started from scratch and came from an ordinary family background. He started his own company in his early years in college and became somewhat famous in school for making small profits. He mixed in middle-class circles and upper-class society, but when he first entered the upper-class circles, he was often scorned by others. There is no shortage of wealthy businessmen and celebrities in Hong Kong. When Qu Tao was in college, his assets were as high as those today. At that time, in order to make connections, he tried his best to enter the upper class circles and strengthen himself in the eyes of contempt and charity. This also made him, who had a strong self-esteem and believed that he was as good as the second-generation officials and rich second-generation people who had made their fortune from scratch, realize a truth -A true strong man must be able to bend and stretch. Success belongs to those who know how to lie dormant and kill with one blow.

No one knows why Qu Tao entered the real estate industry. They only know that he began to rise ten years ago, and his assets snowballed every year until he became the real estate tycoon he is today.

In addition to his unclear romantic history with many actresses, the outside world's reports about Qu Tao are about his attainments in Feng Shui.

The outside world speaks highly of him, calling him the number one Feng Shui master among businessmen and the number one businessman among Feng Shui masters.

All this stems from the fact that Qu Tao always likes to introduce Feng Shui promotion in the projects undertaken by the company, and the completed projects he has done have really good responses in terms of Feng Shui. Therefore, over time, all the projects built by Century Real Estate have no Can't be sold.

However, Qu Tao's reputation has not always been so good. He has a lot of negative news, all of which stem from his lowering the compensation price for acquisition projects and hiring thugs to provoke and disturb residents. Every time, residents called the police, but since there had never been a fatal accident in the past ten years, and even beatings were rare, the police had nothing to do with Qu Tao. Some media once interviewed Qu Tao and asked him about lowering the compensation price. His answer was very natural - "I am a businessman, not a philanthropist. Businessmen are only profit-seeking. What I do is to put the interests of the group first. If If I cannot strive for the best interests of my group, then I am incompetent as a businessman."

Regarding this statement, some people from the outside world agree with him for his courage in speaking and doing, while others criticize him for not knowing how to repay society. In short, no matter what the reputation is, this real estate tycoon's assets are still increasing year by year, and his career is booming.

At this time, this profit-seeking businessman was wearing a crisp black suit, leaning on the side of the table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding red wine and smiling.

Qu Tao's facial features cannot be called handsome, but he has been in a high position for many years, which makes his eyebrows look majestic, especially those eyes that are as electrifying as they can see through people's hearts, making people feel cold from head to toe.

But at this time, he smiled, took a sip of red wine, and said to Shen Hai who was sitting on the sofa: "Brother Shen, it's not been a year or two since I invited you, and this is the first time I've been beaten by someone. That guy Sister Shao is a new member of the gang? She even beat up Brother Shen's people, so she must have a high status in the gang, right? Can you tell me that I will treat you as a host and invite her to come out and talk about it."

As soon as Shen Hai heard this, he knew that Qu Tao wanted to treat the other party to a meal and bribe him, so that he would let the other party pretend not to notice what happened in Yongjia Community in the future. But Chen Hai raised his hand, "I know what you mean, but I came here today just to tell you that as soon as my people came back to tell me about that woman, I immediately checked and found out that she was not one of our triads. people."

When Qu Tao heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Shen Hai is a small leader of the triad. He is far from a core member of the gang, but he is still a well-known leader of peripheral bulk cargo. He has two to three hundred brothers who follow him and hire his people for more money than others. There are far fewer people to hire high-level people from the Triads, and those gangsters are hooligans who are scary to ordinary people. Hiring them to intimidate people is effective, so Qu Tao and Shen Hai have been cooperating for many years.

Chen Hai was hanging around in the local area, so he was naturally considered a local snake. He knew all kinds of information about all kinds of people and all kinds of people. There could be no mistake in what he checked, so Qu Tao was stunned.

"She's not from the Triads? But your people said that Zhan Ruonan calls her Sister Shao." Although Zhan Ruonan is not from the Triads, she is Zhan Ruohao, the left guardian of the Triads. sister. Zhan Ruohao is Qi Chen's right-hand man and a general, and his sister is also known to everyone on the road. Her fiery temper and unruly temper gave everyone on the road a headache. With her temper, it was rare to call someone this kind of name. This Sister Shao, he thought she was a high-level member of the Triad Society.

Could it be that he was wrong this time

He was not a triad person, but he beat up a triad person

In Hong Kong, men would not dare to do such a thing, let alone women

"Then what is this woman's background?" Qu Tao asked, twirling his wine glass, "Brother Shen, don't tell me, she is just a friend of a certain resident in Yongjia Community. She beat up a triad member when she saw injustice on the road."

Chen Hai nodded, "Yes, that's really what happened. I checked and found that her friend does live in the community that your company wants to acquire. The family's surname is Qu, and there are only two people, mother and daughter. The daughter's name is Qu Ran, and she lives in St. She is studying in Ye Nv Middle School. She was the one who brought her friends home yesterday and beat me up. Sister Nan and Sister Shao are both her classmates in Sheng Ye."

"Classmate?" Qu Tao raised his eyebrows, with a strange smile on his lips. I really didn’t expect that he actually got it right after just making a joke

The road is rough? Are there still such people in today's society

That’s right, you’re still a student. Naturally naive.

Qu Tao lowered his eyes and looked at the red wine glass, suddenly losing interest. If he were a senior member of the Triad Society, he would still be interested in getting acquainted with him, but now that person is just a high school student, so far removed from his world, there is no need to get acquainted with him.

Shen Hai saw the sarcastic smile on Qu Tao's face, and continued: "You must have never imagined that she is not a Hong Konger, but a transfer student from the mainland. Zhan Ruonan called her Sister Shao because she had two children on the first day she came to school. People got into a fight over something, and she defeated Zhan Ruonan, so Zhan Ruonan followed her."

Qu Tao was holding the wine glass and was really stunned this time. What surprised him was not that Xia Shao and Zhan Ruonan were fighting, but that she was a mainlander, and that Zhan Ruonan claimed to follow her

Qu Tao suddenly smiled even more carelessly, even a little mockingly. Even Zhan Ruonan, in his opinion, is just Zhan Ruohao's sister. This girl can't achieve great things by herself, she is just a child. And a female student from mainland China, because she defeated Zhan Ruonan, really regarded her as her elder sister? He thought they were the ones who beat up the gangsters he hired, but it turned out to be just a group of little girls playing house. He actually invited Shen Hai here today specifically for these people. He had been in the mall of intrigues for a long time and thought that the people who opposed him had some weight.

Unexpectedly, it was someone who was not even worth mentioning.

Qu Tao was uninterested and didn't want to mention Xia Shao's matter anymore, "Well, since the person named Qu knows Zhan Ruonan, I have to give her some face. I'll compensate her family for the house at the market price. ”

"It's rare to see Mr. Qu so generous." Shen Hai's words were not sarcastic. Everyone knew how much Qu Tao valued the word "profit".

"It's not that I won't give up any profits at any time, but it depends on whether it's worth it." Qu Tao twirled the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, pressed the intercom on the table, called the secretary in, and gave her instructions Go and do things.

While this scene was playing out in the living room of Century Group, in the headquarters building of Sanhe Group, in the general manager's office, a handsome man was sitting behind the table, with a photo of Xia Shao on the table.

The man was only twenty-three or four years old. His sharp black suit set off his sword-like eyebrows, and there was a murderous and awe-inspiring look between his eyebrows. He looked at the photo of the girl on the table and squinted his eyes. In the office, two men in similar suits and ties were sitting on the sofa. They both had handsome features, but they had different temperaments.

One of the men knocked on the coffee table, making a loud bang, and said in an impatient tone, "Okay, okay, how long have you been watching? Still watching! If it were me, I would have killed you! What's wrong with your mother-in-law's temper?" Not as good as your sister?"

"It doesn't matter if he is not as good as his sister. His future wife must be as good as his sister. Otherwise, it would be bad if she gets beaten too badly every two days. After all, she is the wife of the general manager of our triad society." Another man looked at Zhan Ruohao and smiled, with his narrow eyes narrowed into a thin line, quite like a fox, "I think what Ah Hao is holding is pretty good. He defeated Anan and asked her to shave her head." ."

As soon as the word bald came out of his mouth, Zhan Ruohao, who was sitting behind his desk, immediately raised his head!

The man squinted his eyes, and the temperature in the office dropped significantly.

Everyone knows that the word "bald" has been a banned word in the triads recently. Whoever said it was unlucky except the boss.

As the right protector of the Triad, Han Fei was never afraid of offending Zhan Ruohao. He continued to joke with a smile, "It's okay, Ah Hao. Everyone in our gang knows that your wish is to let your girl grow long hair and become a girl." A socialite lady. She didn’t grow her long hair now, she just shaved it off, which I think is a good thing. Anyway, the man’s head didn’t look good before, so she just shaved it off and let it grow longer!”

"Pfft!" Hong Guang, the leader of the triad society, laughed unkindly.
