At nine o'clock in the evening, in the Tongji Association's staff restaurant, Su Tianyu pulled Wei Xiangzuo and sat down at a clean table.
At this late hour, there were not many people in the restaurant, only two employees on night shift were wiping the tables.
It was late at night and the chef had gone off work, so the two of them just ordered some food. Wei Xiangzuo picked up his chopsticks and ate dumplings while telling Su Tianyu about his thoughts.
After listening to it, Su Tianyu pondered for a while and said, "This method is feasible, but it's a bit slow and a bit passive."
Wei Xiangzuo took a puff of his cigarette and said with some embarrassment: "If you want it to be effective, you must lay the groundwork and make more preparations."
"How about this." Su Tianyu compromised: "You handle this matter first, and then we can think about whether there is a better way."
"That's fine." Wei Xiangzuo nodded.
Su Tianyu ate the side dishes and frowned as he said, "The difficulty of this matter is that you can't openly fight with the Erdang faction. The situation in Longcheng is different from that in Bana City and San Pao City. It is our own territory and a gathering place for overseas Chinese. If we rashly start a war or a military conflict without a plan, preparation, or reason, it would be extremely irresponsible..."
"Yes." Wei Xiangzuo nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
…
The next day, Su Tianyu got up from the small bed in Tongji Club early in the morning and continued to work on his next task.
After washing up, Su Tianyu sat at his desk, drinking tea, and called Zhao Weihu on his phone: "Hey, brother, are you busy?"
"Not bad." Zhao Weihu asked with a smile, "What do you want to talk to me about so early in the morning?"
Su Tianyu put down his teacup and said with a smile: "It's still about the association's affairs. Nominate a few representatives from the association's management team so that I can arrange quotas for you."
"Okay, I'll make a list for you," Zhao Weihu nodded and said, "I'll have someone send it to you later. Also, ask Bana City to stockpile more military equipment in the near future, as we may have to do something big here."
"Young General, are you ready to take action?" Su Tianyu was shocked.
Zhao Weihu said softly: "Well, the time is almost right. Only after we deal with those unstable warlords can the old Mo side be stabilized."
"That's great. My brother-in-law happened to be here these two days. I'll talk to him about it."
Su Tianyu chatted with Zhao Weihu for a while and then hung up the phone.
Su Tianyu spent the entire day communicating with various parties, discussing related lists, representatives, and other issues. His phone was almost always on his face, and it was a little hot from typing.
It was not until about seven o'clock in the evening that Su Tianyu put down his phone, stood up and gently stretched his stiff waist.
Almost all the places have been filled, and the next step is the review.
"It's already this late?" Su Tianyu glanced at the clock on the wall, thinking of asking Wu Boxin to have a meal and chat about the specific details of the association and the quota allocation issue on his side.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Just when Su Tianyu was about to contact Wu Boxin, the phone rang first. He picked it up and saw that it was his grandfather calling.
Su Tianyu swiped his phone and answered the call: "Hello, Uncle, what do you want?"
Su Zhengcai spoke in a hurried tone and immediately launched a series of questions: "I heard they are coming back? When will they arrive? How many days will they stay?"
Hearing the old man's three fatal questions, Su Tianyu couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, uncle, who are you asking? Why are you talking so incoherently...!"
Su Zhengcai said angrily: "Who else could it be? Tiannan is leading Xiao Zhang, and Meng Jun and his family are all coming back, aren't they?"
Su Tianyu scratched his head: "Yes, they will be here tomorrow."
"When will you arrive tomorrow?" the old man asked again, "Give me a definite answer so I can prepare dinner."
Su Tianyu hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, when they come back, we will probably entertain them directly. After all, we have official business to attend to, so you don't have to prepare a meal."
Su Zhengcai cursed directly: "Fuck, I have my own home here, why do I need you to entertain me?"
"...!" Su Tianyu felt a little pain in his head when he heard this: "Uncle, my brother-in-law is here to participate in the association on behalf of the Old Triangle..."
"Stop talking nonsense to me. No matter how busy you are, you can't not go home for dinner, right? Besides, there's no time when you can't entertain us?" Su Zhengcai gave an ultimatum: "Bring the person back to me tomorrow. I've prepared everything."
Su Tianyu was helpless: "Okay, okay, I understand, then you wait at home."
My second uncle gave some instructions and then hung up the phone.
Su Tianyu put down his phone and couldn't help but mutter with a smile: "Alas, this old man."
As my second uncle got older, he became more and more family-oriented, always thinking about bringing these kids back. Whenever there was an activity, he would get very excited and often couldn't sleep all night in advance.
…
At five o'clock in the morning of the next day, Su Zhengcai threw off the quilt and sat up from the bed. Afraid of disturbing his wife, he quietly put on his clothes, quietly opened the door, and strolled around the yard.
After stretching his body, Su Zheng walked into a small courtyard next to him, pushed open the door of the next room, and woke up a boy of about thirteen or fourteen from his bed.
"Uncle... what are you doing..." the child said in a daze. His name is Xiaojie, the youngest son of Su Zhengcai's nephew. Although he is young, he is very smart.
"Don't sleep anymore, get up and go out with me." Su Zhengcai said softly.
“Oh…” After hearing his uncle’s instructions, Xiao Jie rubbed his eyes, got up quickly, put on his clothes swiftly, and followed him out the door.
Half an hour later, just as the sky was getting light, Su Zhengcai drove a half-truck and took Xiao Jie to the Zhanan Wharf Seafood Market.
The old man and the young boy quickly arrived at the market and parked the car on the side of the road. The fishing boats that had been fishing at night had just returned and were shoveling boatloads of seafood onto the shore.
At this time, the harbor had just opened, and the ground was filled with all kinds of seafood, each one of them was full of life, jumping around on the ground.
A fishy smell of seafood hit Xiao Jie in the face. Xiao Jie was young and had never suffered any hardship, so he couldn't help but cover his nose, and a look of disgust appeared on his face.
Su Zhengcai's face was full of excitement. He was walking around the food stalls, busy bargaining with the vendors.
"Is this crab fresh? If it's not fresh, I don't want it."
"Hey, are these shrimps just caught? I want to buy more, boss, can you give me a discount?"
"The knife fish is pretty good... Xiaojie, come and help carry it!"
The sun was hanging over the sea, its golden light spreading over the entire harbor. Su Zhengcai, with his frail body, had the strength to carry bags of seafood and walked briskly with Xiaojie to continue selecting.
…
At the same time, in Old Triangle, a small plane slid off the runway and flew straight towards Longcheng.
