However, before Li Qiang finished speaking, Qin Huayun frowned and interrupted coldly: "Call me Miss Qin."
These words made it clear that Li Qiang was directly classified as an "outsider". The cold tone and extremely unhappy expression made it seem as if the person standing in front of her was not her uncle, but the bastard who kidnapped her young lady.
.
"Okay, Miss Qin, let's come over this time..."
"Didn't I just say that our president is in a meeting? Do you have a bad ear or a bad memory?"
With just one sentence, Li Qiang was speechless. Fortunately, Haitang on the side couldn't see it. She stepped forward and shook Qin Huayun's arm, saying coquettishly: "Sister Huayun! He is also my husband after all.
Just stop making things difficult for him, okay?"
"I'll try my best." After saying that, he turned to Li Qiang and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the lounge. I just have a few questions to ask you."
After that, Qin Huayun left without looking back. The two of them quickly looked at each other and then quickly chased after her.
In a short time, the three of them entered a room with a VIP lounge, which was obviously specially set up to receive visitors.
However, before Li Qiang's buttocks got hot, Qin Huayun, who was sitting opposite him, calmly took out a pair of glasses from the file box in his hand, put them on, and asked directly: "Mr. Ming, after hearing about your
There is a mine, a cigarette shop and a pharmacy under your name, right?"
"Not bad, any questions?"
"Except for your three properties, the cigarette shop is still operating normally, the mine is closed, and the pharmacy is closed. Tell yourself, are there any problems?"
"This is my private matter."
"No, this is our family matter." Qin Huayun corrected.
"No, when did you and I become a family?"
Qin Huayun's face turned cold after hearing this, "I'm talking about Qinghe. Since you two are married, your financial situation will naturally affect Qinghe's quality of life in the future, so I must intervene."
Although this statement was relatively straightforward, it was undeniable that she was right. Thinking of this, Li Qiang had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and replied: "You think I think so! Just say that mine, there are not even a single Japanese
All the workers in the mine were taken away without even saying hello. To this day, I don’t know where those miners were taken. After that, the mine could no longer recruit anyone, so it had to stop work;
As for the pharmacy, I originally entrusted it to an old friend who has studied medicine for many years to help me take care of it. But not long ago, he gave me a dumpling party and took away all the valuable things and medicinal materials in the store.
It was taken away and its whereabouts are still unknown, so naturally the pharmacy cannot continue to operate."
Qin Huayun nodded while listening, and lowered her head from time to time to take notes, with a serious look on her face.
"What are you writing?" Li Qiang asked curiously. After speaking, he couldn't help but stretch his neck and take a peek.
This made Qin Huayun's tone even colder, "Mr. Ming, hasn't anyone told you that peeking is rude?"
"I can apologize, but I still have to ask Ms. Qin, what do the two sentences 'failed management' and 'unrecognized people' mean?"
"That's the literal meaning." Qin Huayun replied calmly.
"Is this your opinion of me?"
"uh-huh!"
"you!"
"Am I wrong? Then may I ask Mr. Ming, what is the monthly profit of the only cigarette shop under your name that is still operating?"
"this……"
"It's 8,000 French currency per month. After deducting taxes and labor costs, the approximate monthly balance is 3,500 French currency. You don't even know the most basic business conditions of your own business. Is it incompetent? In addition, the store's
Strictly speaking, the revenue situation can be regarded as a kind of trade secret, but even though I am in Hong Kong, I know it clearly. Is it because I don’t know people well? If this continues, I dare to say that within a year, your only remaining cigarette shop will be
The shop will also follow in the footsteps of the other two industries. How can you guarantee our quality of life in Qinghe?"
"Ms. Qin, you don't have to worry about this. We still have savings. Just in Citibank, I will..."
Before Li Qiang finished speaking, he saw Qin Huayun writing a few more sentences quickly, among which the words "Without ambition, no ambition, and nothing to do" were particularly eye-catching.
"Go on, why don't you say anything?"
"What are you talking about? If you keep talking, won't you judge me as a playboy?"
"Well, I didn't expect that although Mr. Ming has a lot of problems, his self-positioning is quite accurate."
As he said this, he actually wrote a sentence at the end seriously: Preliminary assessment conclusion: Dandy boy.
"You...really wrote it?"
"Of course! Okay, the preliminary evaluation has come to an end for now. Next, the second question, is it your idea to set up a branch in Suzhou?"
"No, it was Director Tang's idea, oh, it was Tang Shengming."
"That famous playboy? No wonder..." Qin Huayun nodded suddenly.
"What...what's the reason? Miss Qin, please don't make random assumptions!"
"Did I?"
"have!"
"Why don't I think, as the old saying goes, the one who is close to the red is the red, the one who is close to the red is the red, the one who is close to... is close to what?"
"Those who are close to ink are black!"
"Look, don't you know this truth? People will not get better for no reason, let alone get worse for no reason. Are you right, Mr. Ming?"
"Whatever you say, I'm too lazy to explain to you."
At this time, Li Qiang already knew that no matter how he explained, nothing could be changed, so he simply broke the jar and threw it. However, Haitang on the side seemed to like to see Li Qiang deflated. Instead of speaking for him, he was interested in it.
Watching the excitement excitedly.
"Last question, have you consummated your marriage with our Qinghe?"
As soon as these words came out, Haitang, who had just been watching the fun without taking it too seriously, immediately blushed and couldn't help but said, "Sister Huayun, what kind of question do you have? Why are you asking this?"
"Because I really can't think of anything that you like about him."
"I've fallen in love with it, I've just fallen in love with it, how can there be so many reasons?"
However, Qin Huayun put on an air of indifference and continued to ask: "Then tell me, Qinghe, how did you get together?"
"How can such a thing be explained clearly in just a few words?"
"So, have you consummated your marriage?"
Although she couldn't figure out why Qin Huayun kept holding on to this, Haitang finally nodded and whispered "Yes" for the rest of her life.
At this point, Qin Huayun's iceberg-like face finally changed, but it was so complicated that it was indescribable.
Even Li Qiang couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry, so he could only bravely ask: "Miss Qin, are you okay?"
"Ah? I...I'm fine. As long as...as long as you're not angry with your family."
"Of course I'm not angry anymore, Sister Huayun!" After saying that, Haitang took the initiative to hold Li Qiang's hand and sat next to him affectionately, "This is my own choice, and I am committed to him for the rest of my life!"
"
Hearing this, Qin Huayun couldn't help but froze, and after a long while she murmured: "You know, Qinghe! You would never say such a thing before. I didn't expect that he would actually do it."
For you to make such a big change."
However, before he finished speaking, Li Qiang corrected her: "No, it was not me who changed her, but the relationship between us."
"I really want to know why Qinghe fell in love with you. But Mr. Ming, being the son-in-law of our Gu family is far from enough." At this point, Qin Huayun pushed up her glasses, "But it's not enough."
There is no need to rush for a while, the time is long and I will teach you slowly."
"Teach...teach?"
"Yeah, is there any problem? Oh, I forgot to tell you that I will be responsible for all matters related to opening a branch in Suzhou."
It was a good thing that Li Qiang didn't listen. After hearing what she said, he suddenly became a big boy. He could even foresee what he would be like when he was taught by her. It was scary just thinking about it.
Fortunately, Gu Hansheng opened the door and walked in, so Qin Huayun didn't notice the subtle change in the expression on Li Qiang's face.
"How was the chat?"
"not bad."
"That's good." After saying that, Gu Hansheng turned to Qin Huayun and said, "Huayun, there happens to be a jewelry exhibition upstairs. Let's take Miss to go shopping!"
"Yes, Qinghe, let's go, I'll take you to have a look." After saying that, he pulled Haitang and retreated.
"How's it going? Just now, Hua Yun... didn't make things too difficult for you, right?" As soon as the two of them left, Gu Hansheng couldn't help but ask.
"Fortunately, I can see that Miss Qin has a good relationship with your daughter."
"Yes, although she is only eight years older than Qinghe, she has always treated Qinghe as a daughter since she was a child. Sometimes even I, my adoptive father, feel ashamed."
"I just don't know how long I have to keep it from her." Speaking of this, Li Qiang couldn't help but sigh, "You also know that paper can't cover the fire after all."
"You can hide it for a while! But having said that, when I saw Haitang's photo for the first time, I was really shocked. I didn't expect that there would be two people so similar in this world."
"Is there still no news from Miss Qinghe?" Li Qiang asked cautiously.
Gu Hansheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Since the surrender of France, there has been no news about her. Although I send people to look for her every month, it is always like she has disappeared. There is no news at all. It is most likely to be a bad thing.
Already."
After hearing this, Li Qiang didn't have much to say. He could only console him with kind words: "At this time, there is no news, but maybe it is the best news."
"I hope so!" Having said this, Gu Hansheng calmed down his mood a little, and then continued to ask, "Okay, if you don't talk about this, why did you come to Hong Kong? Have your identities been exposed?"
"No, we came out under the guise of a wedding trip this time, but actually we have another mission."
"You don't need to tell me this. You just need to tell me how to cooperate with you." Gu Hansheng waved his hand and said.
"I hope to use the influence of the Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong to hold a cultural charity sale."
"That's not difficult, but in what name?"
"We can donate the funds raised in the name of the Chamber of Commerce to the Maternal and Child Relief Society in Shanghai to help women and children who have lost their loved ones in the war and are in urgent need of help."
"Okay, without further ado, I will send someone back to collect more toys, calligraphy and paintings."
"Well, by the way, one more thing. Do you know this person, Mr. Gu?" Li Qiang said, taking out the business card that Li Weigong gave him and handing it to Gu Hansheng.
It was okay for Gu Hansheng not to look at it. When he saw the business card, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Bai Yanchang? How come you have his business card?"
"You know him?"
"More than just acquaintance? I even had tea with him yesterday!"
"I heard that he is very popular in Kowloon, so I wanted to ask him to do me a favor." Li Qiang said truthfully.
"You have found the right person. This Bai Yanchang is one of the only Chinese detectives in Kowloon. He is nicknamed Baifanyu. No matter whether he is black or white, you have to give him some face. We just have an appointment tomorrow.
My son is going fishing, I will take you there and introduce you to him when the time comes."
…
As night falls, the lanterns come on.
Although there was still an hour before the appointed time, Li Qiang took Haitang to Lichi Garden early.
Although it was still early, the door of the nightclub was already busy with traffic, bustling with people, and it was very lively.
It's no wonder, after all, this place is second to none in terms of scale, environment, and service. It can be said to be the most luxurious entertainment venue, so it attracts countless wealthy businessmen and tycoons to come here for entertainment almost every night.
After arriving at their destination, the two of them did not rush in. Instead, they came to a strong man who looked like a manager and asked: "Excuse me, old man, is the boss here named Dao Zai?"
"How presumptuous! You can call Master Dao's name casually? He came down from above, right?"
"How did you know?"
"Hmph! If you talk unruly, you'll know it at a glance! Who doesn't know about it in Hong Kong? I think back then Master Dao won the entire Rechi Garden with only twenty yuan. This kind of thing can only be said by those of you who came down from above.
That’s why I’m asking! Return Dao Zai… call Dao Master, do you hear me?”
Li Qiang was not annoyed after hearing this, but followed his words and continued: "Well, please ask this old man to report to Master Dao on your behalf. Just say that there is an old friend who wants to see you. Is that okay?"
"Old friend? Are you related to our Master Dao?" the man asked with disbelief.
"Otherwise, do you think I came here just to entertain you?"
As soon as these words came out, the man became a little vague. After looking at the two of them several times, he said "Waiting" and turned around to go upstairs.
It was not long before the man came back and said, "Go up! Turn left on the third floor and you will be in the first room, but you are only allowed to go up there alone. Don't ask me why, I don't know!"
Li Qiang nodded, turned around and told Haitang a few words, then went upstairs alone and came to the door of the room the man mentioned.
