Chapter 31 Chaos

In the private room of Xin'an Restaurant, a banquet had just begun. Eight Finger Qing, Hei Guhu and Xie Jingcheng raised their glasses with smiles on their faces and toasted to the young man sitting at the top. Xie Jingcheng said:

"Mr. Lu, I originally wanted to entertain you in a Western restaurant, but we rough guys don't know which Western restaurant suits your taste, so in the end we chose over and over again and chose Xin'an Restaurant for Cantonese food. I couldn't get enough of it.

Don’t worry, if you can’t get used to it, just ask, there are vehicles arranged outside, and we can change places at any time.”

The person sitting in the first place was a young man of about thirty years old, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, fair skin, and a gentle appearance. Hearing Xie Jingcheng's words, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and showed a smile:

"He Shengtang has been helping our Lu family for more than ten years. We are so familiar with each other, so there is no need to be too polite."

The wine cup he was holding touched his lips and then put it down. He saw the other three drinking down the wine in the cup, and then looked at himself and stopped making any sound. The young man smiled, picked up a piece of fish maw with his chopsticks, and put it on the table.

He tasted it in his mouth and motioned to the three of them: "Let's move our chopsticks together."

After he moved his chopsticks, the other three picked up their chopsticks, and the banquet officially began.

After several rounds of toasts, Bazhiqing kept looking at Xie Jingcheng. Xie Jingcheng put down his chopsticks and smiled at the young man:

"Mr. Lu, it's like this. Heshengtang has been in some trouble recently. You also know that Brother Sheng's family has passed away, leaving the society leaderless and people in panic."

The young man nodded and turned to look at Xie Jingcheng: "It's really a pity for the fourth brother's family. By the way, has the murderer been found? My friend in the police force said that the murderer has been detained pending trial, hasn't he?"

The young man in front of him is Lu Youliang, the boss of Lu Changshan Chinese Bank. The Lu family is from Guangfu. They have been opening bank accounts since the late Qing Dynasty. When Lu Youliang's father, Lu Changshan, split up the family and came to Hong Kong to open Baoheng Bank. Later, the bank

With the rise of business, Lu Youliang promptly established Lu Changshan Chinese Bank, transforming his traditional bank business into a modern banking business.

Heshengtang does not have its own money store or bank. Instead, relying on the relationship between Sheng Sihai and Lu Changshan, it contracted the Lu family's loan and debt collection business to earn commissions. It was considered a cooperative relationship for many years.

"The police force is dealing with the scapegoat found by the ghost!" Bazhiqing cursed bitterly: "When I find out the murderer! I will cut him into pieces!"

Xie Jingcheng pressed his fingers on the table: "Hey, don't say such foul language in front of Mr. Lu."

"It doesn't matter." Lu Youliang smiled: "If you need any help, just ask."

"That's right, Mr. Lu, everyone in the society knows that the Lu family was able to hand over the loan and debt collection business to Heshengtang back then because of the relationship between Brother Sheng and your father. Now that something happened to Brother Sheng, everyone is uneasy and worried about you, Mr. Lu...

That's why I hastily set up a banquet and invited you to come over for dinner." Xie Jingcheng stopped talking in the middle of his words, but lowered his head and laughed at himself: "I hope Mr. Lu doesn't mind, we are all rough people, we have no brains, we have nothing to say.

Speak directly without knowing euphemism."

Lu Youliang glanced at the three of them, finally withdrew his gaze, took a sip of soup, and said: "I'm worried that something will happen to Uncle Sihai, so I handed over this business to other societies?"

Eight-finger celebration, Hei Guhui immediately nodded repeatedly. His previous attitude of relying on his old age in front of Sheng Jiashu was no longer visible at this time, only a flattering smile on his face.

Lu Youliang picked up the cigarette and waited for Xie Jingcheng to light it for him. He looked at the concerned three people and continued: "No, everyone has a beginning and an end. He Shengtang did a good job in lending and collecting debts before. Why should I change people temporarily?"

Do it? There is no reason, so after I go back, I want to reassure everyone that this business is still owned by Heshengtang. By the way, I recently invested in a ferry company. There are three ferries there, one from Hong Kong to Macau, two

The first one is from Hong Kong to Jiangmen. There are a lot of people taking the boat recently, so the three boats need a group of people responsible for maintaining order and safety, and I am going to let He Shengtang do it."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu. Thank you, Mr. Lu, for taking care of me." Heiguhui raised his wine glass and expressed his gratitude to Lu Youliang.

Lu Youliang smiled nonchalantly, picked up the wine glass and responded softly: "By the way, what are the arrangements now after Uncle Sihai of Heshengtang passed away?"

"Ah~" Xie Jingcheng said, "That's it. Brother Sheng's third son A Xie who studied abroad returned to Hong Kong. After discussion, we old guys decided that A Xie will be the leader of Shengtang from now on."

"Really? Are people who have returned from studying abroad willing to do this kind of thing?" Lu Youliang nodded and asked casually.

With a smile on his face, Bazhiqing said confidently: "Heshengtang was built by the Sheng family. Of course, the sign must bear the name of the Sheng family. This kind of thing is not up to him."

"Where are the others?" Lu Youliang frowned slightly when he heard Bazhiqing's words. He ignored them and asked Xie Jingcheng.

Xie Jingcheng said: "He has been busy investigating the murderer recently. After all, he just came back and doesn't know the situation in Hong Kong. Therefore, let him take a few days off and investigate as he wants. The society has already turned Hong Kong upside down to investigate.

I've tried it all over again, but nothing has been found, and it's even less likely that A Xie will be found out. After he stabilizes, I will bring him to visit you again."

"Okay, I'll ask him to have dinner with me when I have time. I'm also curious about how Uncle Sihai can raise a son who studies abroad." Lu Youliang said: "If he becomes the leader, remember to tell him that he will help the Lu family and there is no need to use it.

There are too many brains. As long as you work hard, you will definitely make money. Don’t think too much about things you shouldn’t think about.”

"I understand, I understand. I will definitely convey your words to Mr. Lu to A Xie. A Xie is a young man and needs your help, Mr. Lu, for many things." Xie Jingcheng drank the wine in one gulp and agreed politely.

Seeing the respectful attitude of the three people towards him, Lu Youliang smiled freely: "That's it. I also made an appointment with friends to discuss business in the evening. Looking at you three, I didn't enjoy the meal there, so go ahead and eat slowly. Here

Two thousand yuan, give it to my brothers and restaurant guys outside so they can have tea."

After saying that, Lu Youliang threw two thousand yuan from his wallet onto the table and stood up to leave. Xie Jingcheng, Bazhiqing, and Hei Guli also stood up hurriedly, not daring to say anything to persuade him to stay. They just followed Lu Youliang and took the money personally.

The other party walked out of the main entrance of Xin'an Restaurant, watched Lu Youliang get in the car and leave, and then turned back to the private room.

"Brother Cheng, thank you very much. At this time, could you please ask Mr. Lu to come out and chat for a few words?" After sitting down, Ba Zhiqing lost the previous sense of restraint and sat on the chair with his back leaning against the back of the chair.

Thank you Jingcheng.

Although he was not angry with Xie Jingcheng in his heart, he was sincere in thanking Ba Zhiqing at this time, because one meal meant that he and Hei Guju had three more ferries to arrange for their brothers to start work. Although the wages for maintaining order and security would not be too much.

There are many, but the opportunity to travel between places to make extra money with some private goods is given to you. How you take advantage of it is your own business.

"Wait a minute, you two, come with me to Lichi to sit down and meet the fifth girl. Then explain these things to her clearly. Although she is now helping the Qing Gang to set up a stage and sing in operas, she is closer to He Shengtang.

, after talking about it, she should know what to do." Xie Jingcheng struck a match, lit the cigarette, and looked at the two of them: "The last thing, I have done so much, is not to want civil strife in He Shengtang, so you two

You should also keep your thoughts in mind. If you want to be the regent, remember to hand over the accounts that need to be paid. Don’t let people pick out problems behind your back. Just choose someone who is greedy for fame and fortune."

Bazhiqing and Heiguhu looked a little embarrassed when Xie Jingcheng said something to them. Before they could defend themselves, Xie Jingcheng waved his hands: "Don't worry, these words won't spread. Just be clear about it. If you open your mouth, you want to explain that you don't have this."

If you think about it, then I will take it as what you are telling the truth. If there is a problem in the future, we won’t be chatting face to face now."

The two of them opened their mouths, but in the end nothing came out.

For what reason, isn't it just to take Sheng Jiashu's position as the leader, to bully him for his inexperience, to deceive others, to sway people around, to line his own pockets, and to blame Sheng Jiashu if something goes wrong?

"So, are you greedy for fame or profit? Think about it clearly and tell me." Xie Jingcheng exhaled a puff of smoke and said.

Silence fell in the private room. Ba Zhiqing and Hei Guhui looked at each other a few times. They both felt that this question was a bit difficult to choose. People in the world value fame the most, but the satisfaction brought by money is also intoxicating. No matter which one you choose, it seems that

They both feel it would be a pity to lose the other one.

"Big brother! Big brother! Something happened! People from Chao Yixing suddenly raided our casino! Even the accounting room was burned down, and all the gambling money was taken away!" The door of the private room was pushed open, and the silence was broken.

Bazhiqing's confidant Ariel broke in and shouted in a hurried tone!

Bazhiqing looked at Ariel: "Why? The croupier who cheated the customers cheated on the people from Chao Yixing?"
