After returning from the crew, Zhang Xiaolong took Kong Ning to the city to look at houses. He planned to pick up Ren Qiong, Su Qing and Ding Fanglu.
After wandering around for a day, I didn't find a suitable place. However, many real estate developers came to the door and offered to give Zhang Xiaolong a house for free. There were more than thirty households in total, the smallest of which was 130 square meters, and the largest one was
More than 300 square meters.
Zhang Xiaolong rejected the good intentions of the real estate developers. These profit-seeking real estate developers were not the target of his friendship. They were of too low a standard and taking their things would have a certain status.
Zhang Xiaolong wants to make friends with people who are truly respectable.
Unable to find a suitable house, Kong Ning said: "It's really not possible for us to build one by ourselves. There are so many lands along the coastal highway. Let's build a big villa by ourselves and the whole family can live in it."
"This is a good idea, let's do it like this." Zhang Xiaolong agreed on the spot. They returned to Shark Nightclub and called Nong Yingshi to find a suitable land.
Nong Yingshi was a local who was very familiar with the local situation. When he came, he brought a detailed map of the coastal highway, spread it on Zhang Xiaolong's office, pointed to a place and said: "Brother, the landlord, at the racing track construction site
There is a high hill nearby. Standing on it, you can overlook the panoramic view of the coastal road. It is a suitable location. Even if there is a tsunami, there is no need to worry."
People on the coast are afraid of tsunamis. Especially after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, rich people will buy houses on higher ground. If it weren't for the chaos along the coastal highway in the past three years, the highlands along the coast would have been filled with houses.
The racing track under construction will be the headquarters of Longtang. It is safe and convenient to build a villa nearby, which Zhang Xiaolong feels is not a big deal.
"Kong Ning, what do you think?" Zhang Xiaolong asked Kong Ning beside him. Men pay for houses and women choose them.
"It's good to be close to the racing track. If there is a competition, it will definitely be noisy. What if the sisters have babies in the future and scare the babies?" Kong Ning shook his head and said, thinking too far.
Nong Yingshi thought for a while, then pointed to a piece of land and said: "At the end of the coastal road, there is a small bay. It is very quiet. Even if it is a little remote, it is still a good place to live."
"It's too remote and unsafe." Kong Ning still felt it was not ideal.
Nong Yingshi added: "There is a highland near Shark. It is also very quiet and the location is not remote. There are even thirty households there."
Kong Ning looked at it and said, "This land is good."
Nong Yingshi said cautiously: "Some people were interested in this piece of land before, but two poor households refused to move away. In the end, nothing happened. If we sell this piece of land, we may have to spend more money."
"Money is not an issue." Zhang Xiaolong made the decision and said, "Old farmer, buy these three pieces of land you mentioned and build them into villa areas. If you want to live there, wait until the villas are built."
"Would this be too public?" Kong Ning asked worriedly.
Nong Ying said: "Now the entire City A belongs to the landlord. If anyone dares to gossip, I will let the brothers kill him."
Zhang Xiaolong smiled. This farmer's words became more and more tough. Who would have thought that not long ago, he was a timid retired gangster.
Building a house takes time, and now that Ren Qiong and the others are here, they still need a place to live.
Zhang Xiaolong arranged for Nong Ying to deal with the land in a timely manner, and then called Mao Junchi and asked him to rent a safe apartment and arrange for Ren Qiong and others to live temporarily.
Mao Junchi quickly completed the deal and bought a luxury apartment called Haiyan Villa in Zhang Xiaolong's name. If Ren Qiong and other women moved in as tenants, Zhang Xiaolong would be the real landlord.
I put down the phone and found two missed calls. I looked carefully and it was Wei Dandan's call.
Less than two minutes later, the phone rang again, and Wei Dandan's childish voice came out.
"Bad guy, I received news that the Taiwanese Triads sent representatives to your place, please be careful." It had been a long time since I heard such a childish voice, and Zhang Xiaolong really felt a little nostalgic.
"Triads? This is mainland China, not Taiwan. If they dare to come here, I guarantee they will never come back." Zhang Xiaolong was originally fearless. After unifying City A, he became even more domineering.
Wei Dandan said angrily: "Bad guy, you are too barbaric. They are here to discuss business with you, not to compete with you for territory."
Zhang Xiaolong wanted to go to Shuangyi's Triad background, and immediately understood what Wei Dandan was talking about, and said: "They are here to discuss drug business with me! I have no interest in such harmful things."
Wei Dandan asked: "Is this why you don't want to be an elder of the Yi Gang?"
"I don't want to be restrained." Zhang Xiaolong casually found an excuse to deal with it.
Wei Dandan reminded: "Bad guy, people can't help themselves in the world. When you enter this circle, you must abide by the rules of this circle. You don't have to do it if you don't want to. There is a white way order, and there is an underworld order."
order, I say this for your own good."
"Thank you." Zhang Xiaolong thanked him sincerely.
"Bad guy, be careful yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaolong was still thinking deeply. In order to confront Liu Xiaodong and Chen Si, he was eager to expand his power. As a result, he went too far in the underworld and got deeper and deeper. He had violated the expectations of old man Zao.
.
Zhang Xiaolong lay on the table, resting his head on his hands, lost in thought.
What he wants to do is not to suppress Liu Xiaodong or Chen Si. He also shoulders the important task of suppressing business forces and even official forces. He cannot go completely underworld, nor can he go completely white. He must walk on two paths like walking a tightrope.
Only in the middle can he reach the end of his goal.
He had to walk in the gap between two roads and make a gap, which was not an easy task.
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaolong dialed Ren Qiong's number, hoping to consult with Ren Qiong. The voice on the other side of the phone was still so gentle.
"Xiaolong, is everything going well for you there?" Ren Qiong's voice was full of joy.
Since entering City A, Zhang Xiaolong only called Ren Qiong twice because he was too busy. Ren Qiong inevitably felt a little disappointed in her heart, but she knew that Zhang Xiaolong was a person who did big things and did not want to delay Zhang Xiaolong's career because of his children's affair.
, so he endured it and did not call Zhang Xiaolong.
Waiting may be a virtue of women, but waiting is also painful.
"I'm sorry." Zhang Xiaolong also knew that Ren Qiong was being ignored. No matter what excuse he had, it was better to say sorry than to express Zhang Xiaolong's apology to Ren Qiong and his love for her.
"..." Ren Qiong didn't answer. She covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. This sorry sentence made all the waiting worth it.
"Ren Qiong, I have prepared a house. Come to City A as soon as possible."
"Yes." Ren Qiong nodded heavily, wiped away her tears and said, "I will resign tomorrow. When everything is settled, I will go to City A. I will take Su Qing and Ding Fanglu with me."
"Okay." Zhang Xiaolong originally wanted to ask Ren Qiong for advice, but after doing this, he couldn't ask.
After coaxing Ren Qiong on the phone, Zhang Xiaolong called Su Qing and Ding Fanglu to comfort the two girls, and then called Wang Xue.
The person who answered the phone was Wang Ting. She said in a very angry voice: "Xiaolong, when will you come back? Xiaoxue's belly waits for no one. You will not wait until the child is born before you come back to marry Xiaoxue."
"When I finish what I'm doing, I'll go back to City A to register for marriage with Xiaoxue."
"You always say that, there has to be a definite day."
Zhang Xiaolong thought for a while, he didn't want Xiaoxue to be in danger, and he didn't want Xiaoxue to have too much contact with other women. Xiaoxue is a very innocent and kind girl, and she should be allowed to maintain this innocence and live happily.
Zhang Xiaolong mentioned a day, saying it was an auspicious day, and he would register his marriage with Wang Xue.
"That's it, Xiaoxue wants to talk to you." Wang Ting said and handed the phone to Wang Xue, who was extremely anxious.
Wang Xue answered the phone, with an extremely happy smile on her face, and said to the phone: "Xiaolong, have you missed me? I have missed you."
Wang Xue's nose was sore, and when she heard Zhang Xiaolong's voice, she felt very happy.
Zhang Xiaolong said: "Don't cry. Have you eaten well recently? If I find you have lost weight when I go back, I won't want you."
"It's delicious." Wang Xue wiped the corners of her eyes with a happy face.
Zhang Xiaolong coaxed Wang Xue on the phone again. After chatting for about an hour, Zhang Xiaolong hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaolong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't ask about the things he wanted to ask. He finally calmed down the backyard, which was considered to be a fruitful work.

"Almsgiver, my true heart is universal, I strive for peace of mind, follow my true heart, and seek stability in everything. I do things based on my desires, seek peace when wealth and wealth are dangerous, seek care for my relatives, and live a dangerous life. Please give me a message to Immortal Zhang on your behalf.
say hello."
"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish! Please take care of yourself, donor."
Zhang Xiaolong dreamed of the old monk at the gate of Bailong Temple, and the two words the old monk said to him.
Zhang Xiaolong opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling in the dark night. Kong Ning lay happily sleeping in his arms.
"If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish!" Zhang Xiaolong muttered silently, and all the previous confusions were solved in an instant.
If Zhang Xiaolong wants to check and balance the big guys in the Pinlan Society, he must understand them, and Zhang Xiaolong will do what they do, and experience the world they live in, so that he can find out their weaknesses.
Before having to deal with Liu Xiaodong and Chen Si, Zhang Xiaolong stood on the underworld and suppressed the business leaders. He could walk on the business road and deal with official pressure. He could also walk on the white road. There was no need to worry about anything and follow the rules.
