"I know that there is no free lunch in this world." Li Qiang said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter, as the saying goes, isn't this how the so-called friendship is cultivated? So Mr. Zhao, if you have any questions, you can just
Even though it was agreed upon."
"Well said! No wonder Boss Dai trusts you so much."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang couldn't help but frown, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by this?"
Zhao Yuanshan smiled and waved his hand, "Stop pretending, young man, although your acting skills are good, in fact, you have been secretly investigating me, right?"
Li Qiang didn't hide anything, and admitted straightforwardly: "That's right! Because there are too many mysteries about you, Mr. Zhao, it's understandable to do a little investigation, right?"
"Of course, after all, you have to be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years! But it seems that you haven't found anything useful, right?"
"It's not surprising. After all, Mr. Zhao, you are not an ordinary person. If someone finds out the details so easily, then you really have seen a ghost!"
"Well said! Since you are so curious, I will satisfy you today, but before that, answer me a question first."
"what is the problem?"
"How did you know I was the big boss?"
"Simple, if you want such a large amount of treasure to disappear quietly under the eyes of the Japanese Black Dragon Society, business is almost the only way, so the black market naturally becomes the best choice. And although Bai Xiaonian is smart,
, but you have no business acumen, so your identity is naturally obvious."
"Okay, although this reason is a bit far-fetched, it still makes sense. Anyway, since you saved me, I'll let you pass."
"Then...is it my turn next?"
Zhao Yuanshan did not speak, but silently made a "please" gesture.
Li Qiang was not polite and asked directly: "Are you a red party member?"
"No!" Zhao Yuanshan blurted out almost without thinking, and then asked, "Why, did you send someone to investigate me secretly because you suspected that I was a member of the Red Party?"
"That's right! Although there is no intention to offend, after all, Miss He is an 'old man' of the Red Party. As her father, you naturally have something to do with it."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yuanshan suddenly said with excitement: "What old man? What red party? My daughter is not a red party! She is not! No! These...these are all made up by the Japanese to deceive you!"
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhao, please don't be so excited. Since you said so, I believe you are fine. But why did you suddenly mention Dai Li just now?"
Zhao Yuanshan was naturally not stupid enough to believe Li Qiang's words, but the other party had already given him a step up, so he simply went down the slope to calm down, but then he directly picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
He continued: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. But you don't have to be sorry, because I also launched an investigation on you, but I still found nothing. That's why I deliberately deceived you. I didn't expect your reaction to be so violent. No.
Could it be that I was right?"
"Mr. Zhao, what you said is a bit irresponsible!"
Zhao Yuanshan shrugged, "I can't help it. After all, it's not easy to find someone worth trusting these days!"
"Entrust me? Mr. Zhao, why can't I understand what you are saying?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I'll explain it to you slowly. I'm ready to end the black market business here."
"End?" As soon as he said this, Li Qiang couldn't help but be stunned, "Are you planning to retire, or..."
"It's not considered retirement. These years, I have been managing the black market business for the Qiu family in order to hand it over to the young master one day. I never thought that people are not as good as God... Forget it, don't say it.
This person has passed away, and I don’t want to stay in this sad place anymore.”
"Where are you going?"
"Wuhu."
"Wuhu? It's not peaceful there!"
"Because there is no peace, business is easier to do! The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish, and the same is true for business! But more importantly, the forces in that place are intertwined, just like the bad guys in the west of Shanghai.
Generally speaking, management is naturally very chaotic. With this chaos, won’t business come? Are you right?”
Li Qiang looked vaguely understanding, "It sounds good, but I'm ashamed to say that I basically know nothing about business and I really can't fully understand it!"
Zhao Yuanshan was not angry, but just waved his hand, "It doesn't matter! You will understand the truth after you truly become a qualified businessman."
After saying that, Zhao Yuanshan took out a bag of tips from his pocket, then took off the black jade ring on his thumb and placed them all in front of Li Qiang.
No need to ask, Li Qiang also knew that the main show tonight was finally here.
Zhao Yuanshan was the first to point to the ring and said: "Although there are very few people who know my true identity, there are many people who know this ring. So to a certain extent, it is the big boss."
"So, do you plan to ask me to replace you as the big boss?"
"Yes, and no. To be precise, I want you to keep it for a while." He said, picking up the kit again, "Here are the keys and seals of the safe I opened at Citibank, which are on the black market.
The income will be deposited regularly, and of course all these incomes are yours to use as you wish, how about it? It’s a good deal, right?”
"It's quite a bargain, but how long do you want me to keep it?"
"I don't know. It could be as short as two or three months, or as long as two or three years."
"Wouldn't that be too advantageous for me?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanshan chuckled, "Young man, don't think of things so simply. Running a black market is not an easy task!"
"What you said is true, but although I don't have much experience, I can learn!"
"That's your business."
"But how do I know who is coming to replace me?" Li Qiang asked again.
"Simple, whenever someone sells a 'Palace Gate Reverse Print' stamp on the black market, it means that the person has arrived, and the owner of that stamp is the person who came to replace you."
"Okay! I understand. Thanks to your trust, I will live up to your trust!"
…
A few days later, Shancheng Airport.
As soon as Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian walked down the gangway, Mao Renfeng, who had been waiting there, immediately greeted them with a smile, "Oh, fourth and sixth, I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon. I finally have you back."
, how is it, is this journey going smoothly?"
I didn't want Zheng Yaoxian to give him any face at all, and said angrily: "Hey! Mr. Mao! How can we two brothers dare to bother you and come to pick up the plane? You are really embarrassing us!"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Mao Renfeng's face froze instantly. Fortunately, Xu Baichuan on the side hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Old Liu! Director Mao came to pick up the plane out of good intentions. How could you do this?"
What about talking?"
"Fourth brother! You know how to pretend to be confused while pretending to understand! Right, Mao Zuer?"
Although he was about to explode with anger, Mao Renfeng still did not fall out on the spot, but he could bear it, but the guard Ma Kui on the side couldn't help it, and angrily came out to defend his master, "I will tell you the last name
Zheng, don’t be so shameless? Our director Mao came to pick you up and gave you enough face, you..."
"Snapped!"
Before Ma Kui could finish his words, he was slapped hard on the face. The huge force actually made him spin around in circles, and even the teeth in his mouth were almost loosened by the slap.
Got several.
"How the hell are you a little brat who dares to talk to me like that! Mr. Mao, I'm just looking at you. Otherwise, you have to put this little brat in solitary confinement, big or small!"
Mao Renfeng has always been kind and smiling in front of others. Coupled with a face that looks honest and honest, the first impression is often good.
However, due to his lack of qualifications and his ability to please his superiors, many people only respected him on the surface, but secretly called him "Mao Zuo", which was a mockery of his lack of other abilities.
Will sit in the office.
Looking at the entire military commander, Zheng Yaoxian was the only one who dared to call him that in front of him.
Originally this was something he couldn't bear no matter what, but unfortunately Zheng Yaoxian was not only deeply loved by Dai Li's newcomers, he was also highly appreciated by his rival Zheng Jiemin. This made him even if he was very unhappy with Zheng Yaoxian, he did not dare to do anything to him, so
Every time I feel depressed, I can only endure it.
But this time, the anger that had been accumulated before seemed to finally burst out.
Just when the conflict between the two sides completely broke out, a voice suddenly rang out, "Mao... Director Mao, please come over and take a look! I accidentally spilled the food while loading and unloading!"
As soon as these words came out, Mao Renfeng was handed a small step, so Mao Renfeng went down the slope and scolded the man, then left Zheng Yaoxian and Xu Baichuan and ran away
Went to deal with food matters.
Only then did Xu Baichuan finally let out a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly urged Zheng Yao to leave first.
However, Zheng Yaoxian did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he turned to the young man who came to report the incident and said, "Okay, little brother, you are quite capable of causing trouble! What's your name?"
"Back to sir, little Xu Zhongyi, from the General Affairs Department."
"General Affairs Department? The trouble for a long time turned out to be the eighth brother's subordinates. No wonder!" Zheng Yao first looked at Xu Baichuan after hearing this, and then said with sudden realization, "Xu Zhongyi, right? I will remember you. I will meet you in the future.
If something happens or someone bullies you, I will tell you the name of your sixth brother!"
"Really? That's great! Thank you, Sixth Brother!"
Zheng Yaoxian waved his hand, and then quickly left the airport with Xu Baichuan, heading straight for the Fairy Cave...
Half an hour later, Dai Li Mansion at No. 85 Zengjiayan.
"Boss!" In front of Dai Li, even Zheng Yaoxian had to temporarily put away his unruly temper and followed Xu Baichuan to the ceremony.
However, the appearance of the two of them really shocked Dai Li, "How come you... are all so thin?"
"Boss, you don't know something. After Chimu Chiyuki was sanctioned, in order to avoid the kidnappers, the agents of No. 76, and the concession patrol, the two of us had to hide in the sewers. For seven days and nights, we almost ended up in the sewer.
There it is!" Xu Baichuan replied truthfully.
"Seven days and seven nights? Then...how did you survive?"
"Fortunately, we picked up a few apples while we were moving. There was something wrong with my legs at that time, so Lao Liu only ate the skin and gave the flesh to me. This allowed me to survive with barely enough support.
He himself almost starved to death."
"Okay! Okay! I have repeatedly emphasized that comrades are brothers, and groups are families. I can clearly see this from you two brothers, which is good!" After saying that, he turned to the man standing behind him.
Said, "Jin Nan?"
The full name of Jin Nan that Dai Li mentioned was Jia Jinnan. He was from Nanjing. Although he was a spy, he was more like Dai Li's personal servant, driver, chef or guard adjutant.
In terms of qualifications, Jia Jinnan was already following Dai Li when he just started doing intelligence work and even before the Fuxing Society was established.
Therefore, even military secret agents like Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian, who always claimed to be senior, did not dare to make mistakes in front of him, and naturally they did not dare to say anything.
Before he finished speaking, Jia Jinnan immediately stepped forward and said, "Boss!"
"Have you heard about the deeds of the two of them?"
"I heard you, boss!"
"Find someone to polish it immediately, sort it out and distribute it everywhere so that everyone can learn from it!"
"yes!"
However, after Najia Jinnan left, Xu Baichuan said wisely: "Boss, then..."
Dai Li waved his hand without wanting to think about it, "Hey, there are no outsiders here, who are you showing off your courtesy to? Fourth, I know that my previous order to ask Sixth to leave you in Hangzhou and return alone was inappropriate, but
I am not treating one favorably. Sometimes, I have no choice but to do so. After all, Xu Enzeng, the Central Commander, has come to ride on the neck of our military commander. We must stop it as soon as possible. You are a veteran, but you must put the overall situation first. Don’t
Remember my revenge?"
"Boss, you are serious. I know that many people are watching you. I understand your difficulties and dare not bear your grudge."
"Okay, okay, I know that you, Fourth, are a person who knows how to take the overall situation into consideration." Having said this, Dai Li finally turned to look at Zheng Yaoxian and asked impatiently, "Sixth, Xu Enzeng secretly colluded with the Japanese to manufacture and transport counterfeit banknotes.
Have you brought all the evidence back?"
"Boss, I brought them all back." Zheng Yaoxian said, then took out a thick document bag from his suitcase and handed it to Dai Li's hand.
After Dai Li took the document bag, he immediately couldn't wait to check the evidence inside. After confirming that it was correct, he said ecstatically: "That's right! That's it! Lao Liu, you have made a great contribution this time.
!”
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yaoxian suddenly shook his head and said, "Boss, my subordinate has a more important thing to report to you than this."
