After the incident of knocking down Luo Kun, there were no more accidents.
The four of them returned to Xiuzhou very smoothly.
Because the airport is the closest to the East Lake Villa, the four of them took a car together and headed back here.
We went back to our respective rooms, washed up a bit, and then went straight to bed.
After all, it was already three or four o'clock in the morning, and everyone was very sleepy.
It was already noon when Chen Feng woke up the next day, and Sun Xiaorui was not around.
When he came downstairs, Wu Mengting was busy in the kitchen, preparing lunch.
I asked Lin Wan who was watching TV and told Sun Xiaorui that she had gone back to Hongshu Bay Villa to do some cleaning.
I haven't been back for more than thirty days, so the house naturally needs to be properly ventilated and the floors mopped.
Chen Feng just let her go.
When it was almost time to eat at noon, Chen Feng sent her a WeChat message and asked her if she wanted to eat here.
As expected, Sun Xiaorui couldn't stand it.
Chen Feng didn't force it either.
After dinner, Chen Feng immediately drove to the previous art acquisition store.
Chen Feng sent all the artworks he bought during his previous travels here for storage. As for the person who helped sign for them, of course it was Qin Zhen.
I think he is a deputy director who comes over every once in a while to help sign for and transport these artworks into the store, maybe five or six times.
In addition, Chen Feng also asked him to remove the store's signboards and billboards to prevent people from calling him often to say they wanted to sell art.
Now when I came over and took a look, I saw that the store's billboard had indeed been removed.
After entering the store and taking a look, Chen Feng found that the packaging of the art pieces that had been sent had been unpacked. Chen Feng checked them one by one and found that none of them were damaged, which made him very satisfied.
Qin Zhen is quite reliable in his work.
Although he was a good brother, Chen Feng felt no psychological burden in arousing him, but it could not be said that this was something he took for granted.
Therefore, it is definitely necessary to treat guests to dinner or something.
So, Chen Feng called him immediately and told him that he was back and would treat him to dinner and drinks tonight at the same private restaurant as last time.
Chen Feng ate there last time and felt good about it, so he applied for a VIP card there.
Qin Zhen agreed happily.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng went to check out these works of art again. This time he brought 10 works from the capital, adding up to a total of 25 works of art. None of them were bad or worn.
At least 20 of them have not been absorbed by Chen Feng, and two of the other five still have energy. Chen Feng is quite satisfied with this harvest.
Load these works of art into the car and transport them back to Hongshu Bay.
At this time, Sun Xiaorui had cleaned the villa inside and out, mopped the floor, wiped the window glass, and left the doors and windows open for ventilation.
When Chen Feng came in, she was still wiping the furniture with a clean rag, and she looked so diligent.
"came back."
When she saw Chen Feng, she said hello and continued wiping the cabinets.
"Xiao Rui, haven't you had lunch yet?"
Chen Feng asked with some appreciation and some surprise.
"I ate a lot in the morning, and I also ate a pack of biscuits not long ago. I'm not hungry."
Chen Feng couldn't understand why she was so busy doing housework, so he said casually: "Aren't you going back for the Spring Festival in the next two days? Why do you keep it so clean?"
"It is precisely because we are going back that we have to keep it so clean. Otherwise, when we come back after the Chinese New Year, wouldn't it be even dirtier? And since this villa is so new, we have to keep it clean and not make it messy.
What's more, the Spring Festival is coming soon, doesn't every household need a general cleaning? Let's do a general cleaning in advance."
What else could Chen Feng say? He nodded and said: "Okay, as long as you are happy. But next time, if you do such a big cleaning, please hire two hourly workers. I will pay for it."
Sun Xiaorui refused: "What kind of part-time worker do you want? I'm free and I'm free, I'll just clean it."
"Okay. I won't care about this. Since you like to work, come over and help me move things first."
"good."
The two made two trips back and forth to move the artworks upstairs.
After finishing his work, Chen Feng went to take a shower, and then asked Sun Xiaorui to catch up on his sleep.
When Chen Feng received Qin Zhen's call at five o'clock in the afternoon, he remembered that he had made an appointment with him that night, otherwise he would have forgotten it.
"Fengzi, do you mind if I bring a friend with me?"
Qin Zhen went straight to the point.
Chen Feng didn't use any tact and asked directly: "What kind of friend? Male or female? What does it have to do with you?"
"Male. I was an old company commander when I first joined the army. He retired from the army a few years ago and now runs a company. He knows that I follow you in stock trading, so he wants to get to know you."
"Hey, you told him about stock trading? Didn't I ask you to keep it a secret?" Chen Feng said with some dissatisfaction.
"I didn't take the initiative to tell him. It just happened that we went out to drink and chat with him last time. He also trades in stocks. I told him casually that I bought two hot stocks, Tiema Logistics and Qingcheng Beer, two months ago. Then he asked
After all, I can't save my face, so I have to say that I bought it from you. He helped me a lot when I was in the army, and I owe him a big favor."
"Okay, let's meet. But besides him, have you ever told anyone else about this matter?"
Qin Zhen quickly denied: "No. Apart from him, I didn't even tell Ning Wei."
"Ning Wei doesn't even know that you are trading stocks with me?" Chen Feng was a little unconvinced.
"You said you should keep it secret, of course I kept it. Of course, except for my old company commander, I really didn't tell anyone else except him."
Chen Feng thought about it and chose to believe him. Ning Wei did not live with him now. Ning Wei still lived with her parents. It was just that Ning Wei often sent her to Qin Zhen's single dormitory.
"Old Qin, the reason why I asked you to keep it secret is as I told you before. First of all, I was afraid that the information would leak out and that we would be suspected of insider trading. In addition, if too many people knew about it, it would be difficult for us to continue to make a lot of money."
Of course this was the reason Chen Feng said, but the main reason was that Chen Feng was used to keeping a low profile and didn't want anyone to know about his possession by Emperor Ou.
What's more, everyone now adheres to the principle of making a fortune by keeping a low profile, and those who are high-profile will have a few good endings.
"Yes, yes. It's my fault this time, I didn't keep my mouth shut." Qin Zhen apologized quickly.
"Okay, I won't do this next time."
"Haha, that's enough bro. When we meet later, I will punish you with three cups of wine to apologize."
"White?"
"Fuck you. The one with the most beer. Don't push yourself too far."
"Haha, forget it. If you drink beer, it's like drinking boiled water."
"It's just a thought. It's also for the old company commander to see, do you understand?"
Qin Zhen has always been honest with Chen Feng.
Of course Chen Feng understood, and said: "Okay. I understand. I will definitely cooperate with you when the time comes and let you pay back the favor you owe him."
"You are indeed a roundworm in my belly. You even know what I think."
"Grass, isn't it disgusting? I am a roundworm and you are a maggot."
"Okay, okay. What do you mean? It's settled then. You can cooperate with me a little tonight. It's seven o'clock, right?"
"Yeah, seven o'clock. I've already called to make a reservation, Lily Hall."
"Okay. Let's just say this first."
After hanging up the phone, Sun Xiaorui next to her asked curiously: "This friend of yours is the Qin Suo that Mengting and the others mentioned?"
Chen Feng nodded and said yes.
Sun Xiaorui said slightly tentatively: "If you have a chance, introduce him to me. I heard from Mengting that he is your best friend."
Of course Chen Feng heard what she meant and said directly: "I will introduce you to her if I have the chance. Since there are outsiders here tonight, I won't take you with me."
Sun Xiaorui nodded somewhat disappointedly.
It is true that she is Chen Feng's mistress, but she also has ideals and has always wanted to become a regular person. Getting to know Chen Feng's friends and integrating into his social circle is undoubtedly the first step to becoming a regular person.
Unfortunately, this first step is not easy either.
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he got out of bed, dressed and took a shower.
I tidied myself up in the bathroom, came out and changed my clothes, then said something to Sun Xiaorui and went out.
The private restaurant I ate at last time was called Laoyou Private Kitchen, and it tasted pretty good. Anyway, Chen Feng liked it more.
I arrived here at almost 6:30, and it turned out that Qin Zhen had already brought someone over first.
Qin Zhen's old company commander was named Chen Hanliang, who had the same surname as Chen Feng. He was in his mid-thirties, burly, not angry, and looked very imposing.
The two parties shook hands and were introduced. He is now the boss of a building materials company.
After being polite, we sat down to drink tea and chatted for a while. Chen Hanliang had a loud voice and a serious face, but he was very funny and talkative.
It mainly talks about some interesting stories between him and Qin Zhen when they were in the army, some embarrassing things that happened during training when Qin Zhen first joined the army, and some daily people and things in the company.
Qin Zhen stayed under him for two years, and later transferred to the mysterious department due to outstanding performance.
After drinking a cup of tea, I called the waiter to take my order.
After ordering the dishes, the three of them chatted for a while, mainly the two of them were talking and Chen Feng was listening. This time they were talking about things about Lushi, such as the scenery, snacks, customs, etc. Chen Hanliang was actually very familiar with them.
After all the dishes were served, the private room door was closed, and there were only three of them.
Qin Zhencai went over and opened a beer, filled himself three glasses, and then said to Chen Feng: "Fengzi, I did something wrong this time. I will drink three glasses of wine as a penalty."
After saying this, Qin Zhen drank three glasses of beer in one breath, and then burped.
When Chen Feng saw this, he smiled and said: "Okay. Let's just let this matter go. Don't cheat me like this next time."
Qin Zhen quickly apologized and smiled: "Yes, yes. There will be absolutely no next time."
Seeing this, Chen Hanliang opened three bottles of beer in the past. The big glass bottle of Budweiser was placed on the table. He said to Chen Feng: "This time, the main fault is my fault. It was me who forced Qin Zhen to tell you.
.I punish myself with three pins.”
After Chen Hanliang finished speaking, he directly raised the beer bottle and started blowing it. Seeing this, Chen Feng and Qin Zhen did not stop him.
I saw Chen Hanliang gulping down a bottle. It only took about ten seconds for one bottle to reach the bottom, and then the second bottle, the third bottle, and the three bottles were finished in less than half a minute.
None of these former soldiers are capable of drinking!
"Okay, okay, old company commander, your drinking capacity is indeed so good."
Qin Zhen clapped quickly.
When Chen Feng saw this, he clapped along and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Chen, I've seen how drunk you are. Qin Zhen will definitely not be able to fuck you."
Chen Hanliang waved his hands calmly, smiled and said modestly: "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore. In the past, I could finish a bottle in five or six seconds at most, but now it takes at least eight or nine seconds. I haven't practiced for a long time and it has deteriorated."
Qin Zhen smiled and said: "That's true. Back then, you were considered awesome when you blew ten bottles in a row."
"Okay. A good man doesn't mention his bravery."
Chen Feng said quickly: "You two, hurry up and eat. This matter is over. You don't need to mention it again in the future."
"Okay. Open up! I'm determined to be your friend." Chen Hanliang also gave Chen Feng a thumbs up in return, and then sat down to eat.
After the three of them chatted for a while, Qin Zhen, prompted by Chen Hanliang's eyes, said to Chen Feng with an embarrassed look: "Fengzi, do you think you can take our old company commander along with you? He lost money last time in the stock market.
More than one million, if you take him with you by the way, you might be able to get your money back."
Hearing this, Chen Feng quickly shook his head and said: "I've told you before, there is no guarantee of profit in stock trading. It's okay if you make a profit, but wouldn't it be harmful if you lose? You and I are the only ones who know each other.
We have been brothers for several years before I let you follow me. Even if I lose, you won’t be angry with me..."
Chen Hanliang said quickly: "If you really lose, I will definitely not blame you. Just like at the gambling table, following the gamblers' bets, buying and leaving, you certainly can't blame others if you lose. If you win, you should
Give that gambler a red envelope or a commission."
Chen Feng still shook his head and said: "Brother Liang, you are the person Qin Zhen values. Let me explain it to you. I am a full-time stock trader. It turns out that I never thought about taking Qin Zhen to trade with me. After all, the warning in the stock market can be
It's not just empty talk, 'The stock market is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the market.' It's not just talk. Many people have lost their money because of stock trading.
It's just that Qin Zhen is too poor, especially in Xiuzhou, a big city, and he can't afford to buy a house. Seeing that he is leaving for his third year just like me, he also has a girlfriend and is getting married, but he has no money to buy a house.
.This definitely won’t work, so I decided to give him a hand. He didn’t have much money to begin with. Even if he lost money, he still had to work at his job to pay wages, so he wouldn’t starve to death.
But you are different. You have a family and a business. If you lose money, can you withstand it?"
Chen Hanliang thought for a while and said: "You are Qin Zhen's brother, and you are my brother. I won't hide it from you. In the past few years, I have lost more than 8 million in the stock market, which has affected my company's business."
Extension. Don’t look at me as rich and famous now, but that’s all superficial.
In fact, I still owe a loan of 6 million to the bank and 10 million to the private sector, all of which have to pay interest. The villa at home worth more than 10 million has long been mortgaged to the bank, but I still need to pay interest.
I have several years of mortgage payments to repay, as well as car payments for six cars, including four for my company and two for my family.
All of this costs money. The company has only made enough money to maintain this situation in the past few years. Last time I saw that the stock market situation was very good, and I was greedy and wanted to make some money back from the stock market and temporarily divert the money that was originally intended for suppliers.
I went there, but I ended up being deceived and lost more than 1.2 million. I had to borrow money from several friends to temporarily fill it up.
So, I really can’t hold on anymore. The bank loan will expire in two months. In addition, there are still millions of dollars in interest to repay every month, employees have to be paid, and suppliers have to settle accounts...
...I know you are capable, so just give me a hand."
