Mr. Hong shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly:
"I don't want to go either. But my brother said that the other party is one of his big clients. They proposed to introduce their daughter to me, so I have to deal with it even if I have to deal with it!"
As I listened, I couldn't help but laugh.
Mr. Hong looked at me seriously and said:
"Xiao Liuye, you have to take good care of these two beauties at home. You have to ensure their safety and take care of their daily life. The most important thing is..."
All of us looked at Mr. Hong blankly.
Because it's rare to see him so serious.
Mr. Hong frowned and stretched out a finger.
"The most important thing is that you are not allowed to peek at the two beauties changing their clothes..."
"Get lost!"
I cursed.
But Mr. Hong didn't care at all about everyone's contempt.
He ran out of the restaurant happily.
As soon as the two of them left, I said hello to Xiaoshi Xiaoduo and then went out alone.
I took a taxi and headed straight to the old street.
As before, the old street is still noisy.
I feel an inexplicable affinity for this place.
Maybe it's because of the atmosphere here.
Of course, it may also be because the fate between Lao Hei and Xiaoduo and I started from here.
I stepped into Chef Zheng's place.
Compared with before, business seems to be much bleak.
The tables at the door were no longer crowded with people.
There were only a few people who looked like gamblers, drinking some wine and playing randomly.
I heard one of them say:
"Hey, I've lost seven or eight thousand in the past two days. If I keep losing like this, I'll probably have to sell my house..."
Another person, drinking low-quality liquor, followed:
"You lose? Who doesn't lose? It would be great if I had the kind of thousand skills like Master Chu Liu. With one click, I can beat these bastards to death!"
I was stunned when I heard the conversation between several people.
I never thought that my name would be so widely spread among gamblers in Habei.
As soon as this person finished speaking, he heard another person say:
"I heard from Zhao Ping yesterday that Mr. Chu Liu is back. But it doesn't seem to work this time. He's getting into trouble with the Qi family. It's going to be exciting this time..."
I smiled bitterly in my heart.
This is the so-called good thing that never goes out, and the bad thing that goes thousands of miles away.
In the kitchen, Chef Zheng was wearing an apron, holding a kitchen knife, and was chopping hard at a bone.
When he turned around and saw me, Chef Zheng was stunned for a moment.
Then, he threw down the kitchen knife and walked out.
As he walked, he wiped his hands with his apron.
As soon as he arrived in front of me, Chef Zheng narrowed his eyes, shook hands with me and said:
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Chu Liu? What kind of wind is this that brings you to my little temple? Come, let's talk in my office!"
A few gamblers were stunned with the sentence "Sixth day of the Lunar New Year".
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chef Zheng and I went to the office.
Chef Zheng's office is still simple and simple.
Sitting on the sofa, I asked:
"Boss Zheng, how is business now?"
When this was mentioned, Chef Zheng sighed and said:
"Hey, don't mention it. I am an old lady celebrating the New Year, and every year is not as good as the last..."
"Why?"
Chef Zheng is an extremely shrewd person.
With his methods, it is impossible to run a business poorly.
I heard Chef Zheng sigh heavily:
"Hey, when I was in the Zou family, I was pretty good here. At least, in a small place like ours, there is still some way to survive. But now the Qi family has the final say, and their appetite is too big. Not to mention that it's far away, and this old street
The Qi family has opened two places on the street and at the end of the street. Their place is well decorated, the service is good, and there are many girls. The customers are all attracted by them. Do you think my place can still be good?"
As he said that, Chef Zheng shook his head.
"But I think you and Mr. Qi look good now, don't you?"
I lit a cigarette and asked with a smile.
Chef Zheng shook his head, smiled, and said:
"Isn't that okay? I am now the No. 1 brother in Habei, and I have the support of Qin Sihai, the gambling king of Guandong. If we want to live, we have to bow our heads! There is no shame in admitting that you are not as good as others!"
What Chef Zheng said was very straightforward.
I agree with this.
After taking a puff of cigarette, I suddenly said:
"Boss Zheng, can you do me a favor?"
"What's the deal?"
Chef Zheng looked at me foolishly, not understanding what I meant.
When I expressed my thoughts, Chef Zheng fell silent.
…………
When we returned to the mansion, it was already noon.
Xiaoduo and Xiaoshi are watching TV.
Seeing me coming back, we chatted for a few words.
I originally wanted to go back to the bedroom and rest for a while.
Suddenly, my cell phone rang.
I took it out and saw that it was Qi Lan calling.
As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard Qi Lan say angrily from the other side:
"Master Xiao Liu, Sister Hua is missing!"
"What? Missed? What happened?"
I couldn't help but be stunned.
Qi Lan's voice was a little trembling as she recounted:
"Sister Hua just went downstairs to buy something. But I waited for her for a while, but she didn't come back. When I called her, her phone turned off. I just went downstairs and asked the doorman, who said she was put in a car.
I don’t know what happened after that…”
Qi Lan's words made my heart twitch.
Strictly speaking, Sister Hua is not my best friend.
But she has helped me many times. Even if I pay her every time, it can't offset this friendship.
"Qi Chengqiao did it! It must be him!"
I said angrily.
Qi Lan also calmed down a lot, and she immediately said:
"I also suspect it's him. I just called him, but he didn't answer. I called others in the Qi family, but they didn't answer either. Mr. Chuliu, where are you? I want to go find you!"
I told Qi Lan the location.
He sat on the sofa and waited quietly.
I know clearly that this time Sister Hua is completely implicated by me.
Otherwise, Qi Chengqiao would not have taken action against her.
While I was waiting, the phone suddenly rang again.
I took it out and saw that it was Lao Hei.
As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard Lao Hei's anxious and irritable voice coming from the other side:
"Xiao Liuye, something happened!"
"Don't be impatient, speak slowly!"
Lao Hei is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves.
But at this time, he actually couldn't control his emotions.
"My grandma is missing. I asked my neighbor and said that someone just picked up my grandma in a car. The person who picked her up told her that I asked them to go!"
When I listened, my heart suddenly sank.
It seems that Qi Chengqiao has already started to take action.
I have to say that Qi Chengqiao is very smart.
He started from my periphery.
First, he won over Huangzi, and then Mr. Liu.
Now, he has caught Lao Hei's weakness again.
What he has to do is to deal with all the people who can help me one by one.
