It's late at night, and after a busy day in the city, I finally shed my fatigue and fell asleep.
However, at this moment, Liang Zhongchun was like an ant on a hot pot, suffering because although Acheng accepted the money, he did not make any promises to him. Instead, he asked him to go home and wait for news. But from his reply
Four or five hours have passed since we got home, but Ah Cheng has not replied yet, which inevitably makes Liang Zhongchun feel a little unsure.
Just as he was thinking about it, the phone actually rang. It only rang once. Liang Zhongchun immediately picked up the receiver and said urgently: "Hello? I'm Liang Zhongchun."
"You answered the call so quickly? Director Liang shouldn't be waiting by the phone all the time, waiting for my call?" As expected, Cheng's voice came from the other side of the phone.
Liang Zhongchun naturally could tell that Acheng was making fun of him, but he was too lazy to argue with him and quickly went straight to the point and asked: "How is it? Has the customs done it?"
"Don't worry, I'll do the work. I've already taken care of everything for you at the customs. When will you leave?"
"March 4th."
"That's not too late." Acheng said without any end.
This time Liang Zhongchun was confused, "Why is it too late?"
"Director Liang, I hope you can tell me truthfully, are those ores transported for the Japanese?"
"You... how do you know?" As soon as he said these words, Liang Zhongchun realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late to take it back, "Brother Acheng, I can regard you as my own
Brother, don’t go around talking nonsense! If the news leaks out, I won’t be able to bear the consequences and walk away!”
"Don't worry, I keep my mouth shut! In fact, I can guess it even if you don't tell me, and I also know that those ores come from the Aijingshan Mine in Lishui County, right?"
Liang Zhongchun was completely shocked now, "How come you even know this?"
"Don't worry about it. It's really complicated to say. All you need to know is that I have a big deal in my hands. I just don't know if you want to do it or not."
"...Is the risk high?" Liang Zhongchun asked after being silent for a moment.
Acheng retorted angrily: "If there is no risk, what would I do with you?"
"That's right." Liang Zhongchun said in agreement, "Tell me what kind of business it is."
"Someone wants to buy a few mine workers through me. I think this shouldn't be difficult for Director Liang, right?"
"Did I hear you correctly? Someone wants to buy Japanese mine workers? You don't know who the workers in that place are, do you?"
"Who they are has nothing to do with me. I just collect money to do things, that's all."
"Really? I don't believe it!" Although Liang Zhongchun didn't believe Acheng's rhetoric at all, he didn't just say it for the sake of money, but continued to ask tentatively, "How much do you plan to make?"
indivual?"
"How many can you get?" Ah Cheng asked.
"Then it depends on how much money you are willing to pay!"
"Based on the head count, each person has one small yellow croaker."
"Sanjo!"
"Two! This is my last offer. If you still think it's less, I'd better find someone else."
"Okay! For the sake of our friendship, I promise you. But you have to tell me a target, right? Is it Yan'an or Chongqing?"
"It doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter? This sounds interesting. Who commissioned it?"
"You just ship goods, does anyone have anything to do with you?"
"Of course it does matter. I don't want to be sold by you and count the money for you. Don't hurt me!"
"What do you mean by harming you? I'm helping you, okay?"
"help me?"
"of course!"
Liang Zhongchun was able to reach his current position, so he could easily hear what A Cheng meant, so he immediately agreed to the matter.
…
In the study room.
"Is there any news from Sister?" Minglou rubbed his temples and asked Li Qiang, who was sitting opposite.
"The people who were sent out have returned. The eldest sister at the old house has almost finished the cooking. It is expected that the eldest sister will be back the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Minglou nodded after hearing this, "Sister, this trip to Suzhou should not just be to deal with the warehouse fire, right?"
"Well, as far as I know, the eldest sister rented two new warehouses near the old house and stocked some goods."
"Do you know what it is?"
"Seamless steel pipe."
"Aunt Gui, are you following closely?"
"The eldest sister asked her to guard the scene of the fire day and night. I think she had no chance to know what the eldest sister was doing secretly."
"Sister, she is a smart person after all!" Minglou said proudly.
Li Qiang smiled and nodded in agreement.
Just as he was talking, Ah Cheng knocked on the door and walked in, "Brother, I have already called Liang Zhongchun."
"How did he say?"
"He's very willing to help."
"Very good, as long as he is willing to help, the rescue operation will become much easier."
Before he finished speaking, a heavy slamming of the door came from the entrance. You knew without asking that it was Mingtai who had returned.
However, before Minglou could get angry, Mingtai pushed open the door and broke into the study.
Minglou was so angry that he immediately glared and yelled: "No rules! You can't even knock on the door? Get out!"
But even Minglou himself didn't expect that Mingtai, who always liked to confront him, would obediently retreat this time. After knocking on the door, he opened the door again and walked in.
"Brother, I have something I want to talk to you about alone."
"Is it important?"
"I think it's very important."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiang and Acheng looked at each other, then stood up and left the study one after another.
"I heard that Nan Zao Yunzi helped you block the hole in the secretariat?" Li Qiang asked Acheng intentionally or unintentionally as soon as he came out of the study.
"Yes, you want me to find a way to repair the relationship between me and my eldest brother as soon as possible. Do you think it's strange?"
"I don't find it strange at all. Not only that, I can almost conclude that Nan Zao Yunzi's series of seemingly strange actions are all related to one person."
"You mean that Nakajima Nariko?"
"Yes! My intuition tells me that this woman will not come to Shanghai for no reason. She must have a more important task. And this task will most likely require the help of the Ming family to successfully complete it."
"Hearing what you said, that woman first went to partner with Brother Mingtang, and then called Nanzo Yunzi to the lounge for a secret discussion on the Tom. Then Nanzo Yunzi's attitude changed dramatically.
Now that I think about it, it seems to be exactly what you said, but what is that so-called important task?"
"I have no clue about this issue at the moment, so I can only take it one step at a time."
Just as he was talking, there was a loud "bang" in the study, followed by another "crash" sound of things breaking. You didn't need to think about it to know that the brothers Minglou and Mingtai were fighting again.
