"You...help me?!" He seemed surprised and turned to look at me.
I smiled and said, "No, you should be the one to help me."
"Shall I help you?" He became even more confused.
"That's right, don't think about these shops. You can't get them. First of all, you don't have that much money. Secondly, the owners of those shops won't cooperate with you. Finally, even if you get those shops, you won't be able to get them.
None of them are from the Qin family... Do you think what I said is right?"
He fell silent and seemed to be thinking.
After a while, he nodded and said, "Then how do you want me to help you? What do you want to do?"
"I want to take over the entire ancient town. You can help me in the future."
He suddenly laughed and said sarcastically: "Stop joking, you still want to take over the entire ancient town. Who do you think you are?"
"You don't have to believe it, but I need you to do something with me. Just tell me whether you agree or not."
"What if I don't agree?"
"You will agree because you have no way out."
He gave a wry smile, sighed and said: "You are right, I have no way out. Once the Qin family knows what I have done, I will be miserable... You didn't expose me today, and you have already helped me pick up a piece of cake."
My life is yours."
"No, no, no, no, I'm not Master Qin. I want you to help me, not to kill you."
He turned to look at me again, his eyes were very complicated, and then nodded heavily: "Okay, I promise you."
"Aren't you afraid that if I mess up, it will hurt you?"
He smiled miserably and said: "I have no way out now. It's the best choice to stay with you, and I believe in you."
"Okay, let's do that. Leave me your contact information later and I'll call you if I need anything."
He nodded heavily, and then said to me apologetically: "Brother, I apologize to you for touching you just now, and I hope you will treat me well."
I smiled and said: "First of all, don't call me eldest brother. I'm not a black man. My name is Chen San. You can call me third brother, or you can call me Chen brother... Also, I don't want you to be submissive. I
I hope you can maintain your previous style and be more aggressive, but remember not to do bad things, otherwise you will not end well."
"Okay, I understand, third brother."
I suddenly remembered something again, and turned to him and asked: "By the way, that day in A Liang's bar, when you asked him to pay back the money, was it Qin Lang who asked you to pay the bill?"
"It's not Qin Lang, it's Boss Qin, who is Qin Lang's father. We collect rent from those merchants every month. A Liang has been in debt for a long time. If I don't go back, Boss Qin will curse me again."
I nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Approximately how many shops are owned by the Qin family in the ancient town?"
"At least 40% are from the Qin family."
"Are the rest all retail investors?"
"No, there is a street by the east gate owned by a Shanghai boss. A few years ago, the boss came here for vacation and took a fancy to the shops here. He bought them for investment. As a result, he didn't make any money, so he stopped taking care of it. But
Those properties are still in his hands."
"About how many does he have?"
"I'm not sure about this. There are about fifteen or six houses. Boss Qin went to talk to him before and wanted to sell the houses in his hands. The boss was quite rich, so he didn't care. Boss Qin just kept talking.
Didn’t take it down.”
I nodded and asked again: "What's the boss's name? Do you know?"
"My surname is Liu, I forgot the specific name, but if you have any ideas, I can help you find information about the boss."
"Okay, help me find his information as soon as possible. This is the key."
Liu Xiaofei nodded and said in a deep voice: "But third brother, I guess he won't sell it to you, and do you have so much money to do this? So many houses are not cheap!"
"I have my own way, you don't need to ask any questions."
We chatted all the way and soon returned to the inn.
On the way back to the ancient town, Liu Xiaofei also bought some fruits and fine tea.
After returning to the inn, Liu Xiaofei walked into Boss Tang's cafe with me, carrying fruits and tea.
As soon as he saw Liu Xiaofei, Boss Tang became nervous immediately. It was obvious that they were often bullied by Liu Xiaofei and his group.
But who knew, just because I stayed in the car with Su Yue last night, such a big change happened, even I didn't expect it.
Liu Xiaofei's attitude was naturally different from before. He walked up to Boss Tang with a smile on his face.
He handed the fruit and tea in his hand to him, and said very humbly: "Boss Tang, we had some misunderstandings before. I, Liu Xiaofei, can't bear it! Please forgive me, Boss Tang..."
Boss Tang looked as if he was confused as a monk, and then looked at me. I nodded to him and motioned for him to accept it.
Boss Tang took the fruit and tea from Liu Xiaofei, but he still looked at Liu Xiaofei with some doubts.
Liu Xiaofei made a "congratulations on getting rich" gesture to Boss Tang again and said: "Boss Tang wishes you a prosperous business, I will go back first. Don't worry, you will do business well in the future and no one will come to make trouble again."
After Liu Xiaofei finished speaking, he looked at me again and didn't leave until I signaled to him.
Boss Tang was still stunned on the spot, not saying a word from beginning to end, and looking confused from beginning to end.
Boss Tang just stood there and looked in the direction of the door. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and looked at me and said, "Brother Chen, what... is this?"
"Didn't he come to apologize to you just now? Didn't you hear it?"
"I heard it, but... this is too strange. Why did Brother Fei come to apologize to me? It's too strange..."
Boss Tang kept repeating it, as if in his understanding, this was impossible.
I didn't say much to him, walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Boss Tang, don't be in a daze. Customers are coming. Go and greet them."
Only then did Boss Tang come to his senses, put down the fruits and tea leaves in his hands, and hurriedly went to greet the guests.
I also returned to the inner courtyard. After sitting down on the wicker chair, I began to think about my next plan.
In fact, I'm quite annoyed. I'm obviously here for vacation, but this happened to me.
I also thought about leaving, but I really couldn't leave. My personality couldn't let me ignore everything that happened.
First of all, I must talk to Su Yue first, let her cooperate with me to pretend to be with Qin Lang, and hold them back first before considering other things.
After thinking about the plan all afternoon, I plan to go and talk to Su Yue tomorrow.
That night, while having dinner with Boss Tang and his brother and sister, Tang Ling talked again about her desire to see Liu Xiaofei and asked Boss Tang if he had contacted Liu Xiaofei?
So Boss Tang told him that Liu Xiaofei came to apologize to him today. After hearing this, Tang Ling felt very incredible and asked what happened.
Boss Tang looked at me and said, "I don't know either. After Liu Xiaofei came to take Brother Chen away in the morning, as soon as they came back, Liu Xiaofei seemed to be a different person, apologizing and apologizing... By the way, also
He gave me back all the money he spent in the hospital that day."
Tang Ling was smarter than Boss Tang. She seemed to realize something, turned to me and asked, "Brother Chen, is it because of you?"
