Zhuo Gang, the lord of Yunmen City, had two sons, the eldest son was named Zhuo Zicheng, and the second son was named Zhuo Zili.
Zhuo Zicheng was favored by his father since he was a child, but he developed a dandy character and had a bad reputation in Yunmen City. Zhuo Zili was much younger than Zhuo Zicheng, and he was not as dandy as his brother.
It is said that he did not bully men and women, but there are rumors that he has a bad temper, is impulsive and reckless, and will shout and kill if he disagrees with him, so his reputation is not very good.
Although the relationship between the two brothers was not good at first, they were still polite when they met. However, since Zhuo Gang suddenly fell ill a few months ago and was unable to handle matters, the situation immediately changed.
Because Zhuo Gang suddenly fell into a coma, and he had not specified who should be responsible for the affairs of Yunmen City before, so currently in the city lord's palace, the party that supports Zhuo Zicheng and the party that supports Zhuo Zili work independently, causing the operation of the entire city lord's palace to almost come to a standstill.
Paralysis. The relationship between the two brothers has become increasingly incompatible, and everyone is secretly waiting to see a big show of brotherly hostility.
Xia Yu has been in Yunmen City for some time. Naturally, he has heard about the two brothers. At this time, he is also secretly wondering about Zhuo Zicheng's purpose. Could it be that at this sensitive time of fighting for power, he still wants to cause trouble?
Are you looking for trouble for yourself and others? That's too stupid, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a young man playing with a beautifully crafted ivory folding fan. He walked in with a smile and bowed to Xue Caiyi, "Hello, Mr. Xue!"
Xue Caiyi had already stood up. Although she disliked Zhuo Zicheng very much in her heart, she still had to do things for the sake of face. She returned the gift gently, with a professional smile on her face, "Don't dare to take this seriously."
, please just ask Mr. Zhuo to call Caiyi the deputy general manager... Caiyi didn't know that Mr. Zhuo was coming, so I apologize for being a little far away from him. May I ask what Mr. Zhuo is here for?"
Zhuo Zicheng closed the folding fan with a snap and clapped his hands. Someone came in with a tray, and on it was the dagger he had just taken.
Zhuo Zicheng smiled slightly, pointed at the dagger and said: "Miss Xue, I'm really sorry just now. I didn't know that Miss Xue was in this box, so I rushed to take a picture. I'm really offended. Now I'm here to apologize. This sword
Please accept the sword, Miss Xue!"
Xue Caiyi glanced at him in surprise, what was Master Zhuo planning? As a famous dandy in Yunmen City, when had he ever behaved so lowly?
Unable to figure out Zhuo Zicheng's purpose, Xue Caiyi certainly did not dare to accept the thing easily, and said with a smile: "Since the master also likes this sword, how dare Caiyi take away someone's love? Please take it back, master!"
"
Zhuo Zicheng shook his head, put the sword on the table, raised his hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Xue, I was independent and ignorant in my early years. I offended the girl. Please forgive me."
He turned his back on Xia Yu and Qiao Xiaopang again, "These two must be Mr. Yuwen and Mr. Qiao, who are famous in Yunmen recently, right? I'm so polite to you, Zhuo Zicheng."
Originally it was just Xue Caiyi talking to Zhuo Zicheng, Xia Yu and Qiao Xiaopang didn't stand up, but since they took the initiative to say hello, they couldn't pretend not to hear, so they stood up and returned the salute, casually speaking a few words.
sentence.
Zhuo Zicheng smiled and said: "Everyone knows that Miss Xue's friend Mr. Yuwen is an expert archer. If my prediction is correct, this sword is what Mr. Yuwen wants to shoot, right?"
Xue Caiyi nodded, "It was taken by Young Master Yuwen."
"In that case..." Zhuo Zicheng looked at Xia Yu with a smile, "Then even if this sword is given to Young Master Yuwen, what do you think of Young Master Yuwen?"
Xia Xia Yu smiled and said, "Since Mr. Zhuo has this intention, I will not be respectful!"
As he spoke, he picked up the dagger on the table. He had already guessed Zhuo Zicheng's purpose, and it had little to do with him. After all, this dagger was carefully selected by Xue Caiyi, and since it was sent back,
It doesn't matter if you just put it away yourself.
"Young Master Yuwen is such a happy person!" Zhuo Zicheng said with a smile, "I have prepared a banquet at Yunyi Tower. I would like to invite a few of you to come over and have a chat. Can you give me a favor?"
Xia Yu said with a smile: "We still need a few things that we can't get rid of. Please forgive me, Mr. Zhuo."
Zhuo Zicheng laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Miss Xue, Mr. Yuwen and Mr. Qiao can point out what is needed. I will just ask my servants to take pictures for them."
As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either a traitor or a thief. Zhuo Zicheng's reputation in Yunmen City is not very good. What did he have in mind when he took such initiative today? Xue Caiyi thought nervously while looking at Xia Yu and Qiao
Little fat.
Fatty Qiao had already sat down. While pretending to read the auction list, he grabbed the snacks on the table and stuffed them into his mouth. He said inarticulately: "Yuwen, you decide."
Xia Yu smiled slightly, "I plan to wait until the auction is over before I leave. It's quite late by then, so I'd better not disturb Mr. Zhuo. Please forgive me, Mr. Zhuo!"
Xue Caiyi originally didn't want to have anything to do with Zhuo Zicheng, so she immediately echoed: "Master Zhuo, I'm really sorry."
Zhuo Zicheng didn't seem disappointed either, and said with a smile: "Then I'll invite a few more people some other time! I'll take my leave now!"
After Zhuo Zicheng left with his men, Xue Caiyi couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd? Is he trying to trick our Southwest Chamber of Commerce?"
Because of Zhuo Zicheng, although Xue Caiyi was the deputy general manager, he did not have much contact with the City Lord's Mansion. The contact with the City Lord's Mansion was basically Qiu Wancai's business.
Now that Qiu Wancai is in trouble and has missed the chance to be the general manager of the Yunmen branch, Xue Caiyi can almost be said to be the first choice for the future head of the Yunmen branch. However, because the city lord Zhuo Gang cannot be a director, the city lord's mansion is in chaos
, so although Xue Caiyi is in charge of the affairs of the Yunmen branch recently, he has not taken the initiative to contact the city lord's mansion.
Zhuo Zicheng obviously came here today for Xue Caiyi, and probably also to show his goodwill to the Southwest Chamber of Commerce.
Xia Yu took a sip of tea and said: "Everyone must ask for something when they are polite. There are rumors that the city lord Zhuo Gang is not going to die soon. I'm afraid it's true."
Xue Caiyi pondered for a moment and nodded: "There is a possibility that Zhuo Zicheng wants to get the support of our Southwest Chamber of Commerce... But the current situation is still unclear, and we will not take sides so soon!"
Xia Yu said with a smile: "In your Southwest Chamber of Commerce, is this kind of thing decided by the superiors, or is it decided by you yourself?"
"This is not necessarily..." Xue Caiyi said thoughtfully, "According to previous practice, when the power of some big forces changes, if the Southwest Chamber of Commerce is involved, the headquarters will send someone to negotiate and support, but in a small place like Yunmen City,
I'm afraid it will be left to us to make the decision. I plan to report the situation here tomorrow and see what it says."
