Although in the shopping mall, many people feel that they should not pay too much attention to the personal ethics of their partners,
But marriage is also a contract in some aspects, and those who violate the marriage contract may not fully abide by the contract in other places.
Therefore, in the eyes of some businessmen with older ideas, personal ethics is also part of the criteria for choosing partners.
Especially if the other party is just the concubine's nephew, he can openly cause trouble on such occasions.
Lin Mengya felt that President Xia was at least restless at home. If his family was restless, the likely impact would be that he would not be able to handle many things objectively, which would also affect his reputation.
And the troubles in the back house will also occupy a large part of his attention.
If you cooperate with him under such circumstances, you will most likely be taken advantage of.
Lin Mengya thought about it again and again and felt that there was no need for further contact with President Xia.
What's more, judging from the situation just now, the other party may not take an unknown collaborator like them seriously, so she won't take the initiative to ask for trouble.
So Lin Mengya stopped thinking about giving the other party a big gift and just followed her man to watch the excitement.
Get to know each other here first, then it will be more important to manage the contacts you can get in touch with.
After this small episode, it did not affect the lively atmosphere of the meeting. No matter what everyone thought, at least on the surface, everyone came to wish President Xia a birthday.
It's just that no one knows how they will discuss it in private.
Aunt Rong doesn't have many connections in this area. Fortunately, the three of them are the kind of people who have eyes and ears.
After a short time, I had almost explored the surrounding situation, and just by listening to other people's discussions, I had memorized some of the disputes, big and small.
"Are you still staying here?" Aunt Rong asked in a lowered voice.
Her thoughts were similar to Lin Mengya's. She felt that President Xia was a little too confused.
Although Chairman Xia is currently at the top of his game, if he does such a thing, his opponents will most likely seize the opportunity to criticize him.
After all, the competition here in the Northern Territory is also very cruel and fierce. Because the number of ships coming and going has increased unabated, that seaport has long been targeted.
It's a pity that President Xia is still immersed in the joy of having an heir, and has never anticipated the dangers lurking around him, and he may lose this hen that lays golden eggs at any time.
Once the Chamber of Commerce loses control of the port, Qi Guanshi's network will most likely lose its previous role.
They must know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace and find the next person they can cooperate with before the other party steps down.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, sometimes it can be so cruel, it doesn't care about human feelings at all, it only cares about interests.
Lin Mengya discussed it with Long Tianyu and felt that there was no point in continuing the banquet.
I have seen everything I should have seen. Lin Mengya has already deeply remembered the appearance of those people in her mind.
Moreover, something like this happened just now, and they don’t know what will happen in the future. They should leave early to avoid being affected.
So, the three people moved towards the door, and there was another person who had the same idea as them.
But Lin Mengya could tell at a glance that the other party was probably a little girl disguised as a man.
The girl's figure is quite slender, and there are two fine lines between her eyebrows. It seems that she always frowns and is worried.
But what concerned Lin Mengya the most was this girl's other identity.
"It was this girl who took action just now and destroyed the opponent's eyes."
Long Tianyu whispered in her ear.
Lin Mengya felt a little surprised. She didn't expect that this little girl who looked thin and frail was actually a master of hidden weapons.
And if the other party is able to help her when there is an injustice, she must be a very chivalrous girl.
But there was a sense of alienation about her that kept strangers away from her, and one look at her revealed that she must be from a noble family.
Therefore, Lin Mengya and the others were not in a hurry to get closer. After all, they were exuding a cold feeling from top to bottom: "Don't mess with me, whoever messes with me will be unlucky."
Lin Mengya couldn't help but take a few more glances, but the girl turned around and glared at her. However, the girl obviously didn't expect that the other party was also a woman. Lin Mengya lifted the veil in front of her and showed a smile to the girl, although Most of her face is covered, but her eyes are bent
He stood up and showed a bit of kindness.
The girl turned her head away awkwardly, but she turned back secretly and glanced at Lin Mengya again.
There was a bit of apology on that face, as if he felt that his reaction just now was a bit excessive.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but find it interesting. She didn't expect that this girl was quite simple.
Probably because she saw that she was just a girl, not the kind of person of the opposite sex who would look at her with strange eyes, right?
Lin Mengya just guessed this, but it was hard for her to ask without confirmation.
The girl left quickly.
Lin Mengya then put down the veil that covered her face and prepared to go back with her family to discuss when to visit Mrs. Qi.
After all, things like connections must be used when they are useful, otherwise they will be meaningless after they expire.
But what they didn't expect was that they found a family of three who had come out before in an alley facing the street.
The old man had recovered, but the three of them were surrounded by five people who looked like gangsters.
"Mr. An, I never said that today is the deadline. If you can't pay us back the money, then we will have to drag your daughter to pay off the debt, and your shop will also have to be given up to us. !”
The leader of the thugs was very arrogant, his eyes wandering around Miss An's body.
Miss An had just experienced the humiliation just now, and now she was being treated so wantonly and frivolously by a man, with half of the color on her face gone.
She bit her lip tightly, thinking that no matter what, she would never be let away by this person.
If she had been reduced to that situation, she might as well have died cleanly!
Lin Mengya had already noticed that this girl seemed to have a death wish.
She shook her head, after all, it was a life.
But they were also new here. Since they didn't know the details of those gangsters, they couldn't act rashly.
So the three of them hid in the dark and watched the changes.
Long Tianyu also grabbed a handful of soil nearby.
This family of three may be saved at this critical moment.
Father An had just recovered and was weak when speaking, but he had nothing to do with these gangsters. "You, you are so unreasonable! We clearly don't owe you a penny, but you insist on saying that I owe you." Fifty taels of silver! Now this compound interest has actually become 500 taels. Isn’t there any reason in the world?
Already? If you continue to pester me, I will report you to the Chamber of Commerce!"
The gangster at the head was not afraid at all when he heard this, but actually made a mocking sound.
"Old man An, to tell you the truth, the reason why we dare to do this is because we have established a good relationship with the Chamber of Commerce."
Father An's heart sank.
He had doubts about whether the Chamber of Commerce knew about it, but he chose to cover it up, so today he used his last fifty taels in exchange for an invitation.
What he thought was that if he could see the president of the Chamber of Commerce in public, at least that person would be able to uphold justice for him because of the strength of the crowd.
But what he didn't expect was that his body was so useless. He had already heard from his daughter that if he hadn't been helped out in time, he might have died there. It wouldn't matter if he died.
But what to do with the old wife and daughter left behind?
But at this moment, Lin Mengya had an idea.
She grabbed her man and said a few words in his ear, and he kept nodding.
"Go quickly! Come back as soon as you solve the problem." Lin Mengya patted her man on the shoulder.
Rong Zhao stood aside. Her hearing was not as good as Lin Mengya's, so she didn't hear the young couple's whispers.
But in fact, she was holding back her breath. From what Mr. An said, these people were obviously rogues!
But because he has established a relationship with the Chamber of Commerce, he can do evil, and there is no room for reason in the world?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. If there was really some reasoning, then their Xuanhuo Island wouldn't be forced to be like this.
She shook her head sadly.
The world is like this, and ordinary people like them can just struggle to survive.
"Old man An, since you don't have to drink wine as a penalty for toasting, my brothers will serve it to me. I will take you away today, and this shop will belong to us from now on!"
The leader of the thugs stepped back and called for others to come forward to arrest them and smash them into the store.
At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
The gangster leader squinted his eyes, thinking that the other party was here to meddle in other people's business, but he didn't expect that when the other party came, he grabbed Old An's collar and asked coldly: "Old Man An, I didn't expect you to come up with something." Such a method."
Father An was stunned.
He, he met a bad guy again?
But I didn't expect that this tall man just blinked at him. Father An was more or less an old businessman, so he couldn't tell there was something wrong with him.
But he didn't know what play the strong man in front of him was playing, so he could only ask tremblingly: "Zhuang, strong man, who are you?"
"Hmph! You old man is so forgetful. Have you forgotten the name of Manager Zhao so quickly?"
"Zhao, Manager Zhao?" When Manager Zhao came out, Father An had already been helped out, so he didn't know what happened next, but when the gangster who led him heard these three words, he was stunned. Stunned. What's going on? Why is it that a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple? Could it be that the other party is a member of the same family as me?
