Far away in Wuchang, a passenger ship slowly docked at the pier. The ugly faces of several people standing on the ship's strings finally relaxed a lot.
Sun Yongning and Lu Shaoting were on this passenger ship. Because they were in a hurry when buying tickets, they didn't ask clearly. This was not a direct passenger ship to Wuchang at all.
This passenger ship carries passengers along the Yangtze River waterway. There are many stops along the way for passengers to get on and off the ship. It does not board the ship from Nanjing and sail directly to Wuchang.
Along the way, Sun Yongning and others just followed the passenger ship. In addition, the ship had to replenish coal and food from time to time on the way, so the speed was like a snail to these people.
Sun Yongning and his party also thought about changing ships, but unfortunately the stops along the way were either small and there was no ship to Wuchang at all, or the timing was unlucky and they had to wait a few days before they could board the ship.
Originally, they could have chartered a small steamer to Wuchang, but unfortunately, news came out that a small steamer was robbed on a section of the river from the three towns of Wuhan, and all the owners and passengers were killed. No small boat dared to go there anymore.
This is the time to take risks.
In this way, Sun Yongning and his party had no choice but to take this passenger ship and slowly come to Wuchang.
As soon as the ship docked, Sun Yongning and his party immediately got off the ship with their luggage, as if they didn't want to stay on the ship any longer.
After leaving the pier, the group of people formed groups of three or two and went their separate ways, but they all hailed a rickshaw and ran in different directions.
Half an hour later, Sun Yongning and Lu Shaoting arrived at the pre-arranged meeting point, a crossroads.
And diagonally across from the group of people was the hotel where Liu Kuipeng was staying. From the outside, it looked just as good as their Longde Restaurant.
After others arrived one after another, the group walked directly to the hotel, used the phone in the lobby, pretended to contact Liu Kuipeng, and then went to the floor occupied by Liu Kuipeng.
As soon as they arrived, they were welcomed in by Liu Kuipeng who looked helpless.
"Why are you doing this? It's so slow? If you come here one day later, I will spend all the money and be kicked out."
Hearing this, Sun Yongning didn't believe it and asked: "How could this happen? Old Liu, didn't you bring a large sum of money with you when you came here? Where did it go when it was used up so quickly?"
When Liu Kuipeng heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "You don't need to spend money on anything? To cover this floor, you spent most of the money during this period.
The remaining money was spent on the two people's daily necessities, daily food and drinks, and the daily expenses of the rest of us.
Especially those two guys, they really regarded themselves as young masters. They wanted to eat the best, drink the most expensive, and go out and mess around at every turn.
Let's go shopping! He insists on buying things, and he even picks out expensive ones. In the evening, he also goes to the dance club, looking for the most beautiful girls and the best seats. He is also very generous with his money, and the money just flows like water.
Not only that, these two guys also bought us things, saying they were for us, but he #! Wanted to give them to you and buy them with your own money!"
Looking at Liu Kuipeng who was complaining like crazy, Lu Shaoting on the other side couldn't help but asked: "Then you just let them do whatever they want? Wouldn't they be more honest if they were restrained?"
After hearing this, Liu Kuipeng smiled bitterly and said: "How can it be that simple? I often threatened to drink, but it's a pity that these two people just understood that we had something to ask of him and ignored it at all.
It’s also called euphemistically, rehearsing beforehand and getting a feel for it. Although it’s helpless, we can only let him go now, otherwise the two of us won’t cooperate and things will have to be delayed further.”
"Ka..." After Liu Kuipeng finished speaking, he opened the door of a room and took Sun Yongning and Lu Shaoting in. The remaining people were taken to their respective rooms by their subordinates.
After Sun Yongning put his luggage away, he asked Liu Kuipeng: "Old Liu, it's okay to deceive others with what you just said, but I don't believe you. There is really no way to deal with these two people. There are fewer people now. Can you tell me the real situation?"
Let’s talk about it!”
When Liu Kuipeng heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you...
These two people! I have observed them carefully. They are very smart, courageous, and very thoughtful in doing things. They are not simple!
As for them, we will definitely deal with them afterwards. I am afraid that they will guess this and cause trouble for us during the operation and cause unnecessary trouble."
"Come...drink tea..." Liu Kuipeng poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and after sitting down together, he continued: "I did this just to lower their wariness as much as possible, so that these two people would think that we would not take care of them afterwards.
How do they do it, so that they don’t get into trouble in action.”
"Well..." Sun Yongning nodded and said: "Then let them dance for a few more days! Take them back when the operation is over."
"Hmph..." Lu Shaoting on the side heard this, snorted coldly, and said: "Okay, stop talking about these unappetizing things, Lao Liu, have you made any arrangements for your return trip?"
Hearing this, Liu Kuipeng shook his head and said: "I came to you just to discuss this matter. I had already purchased the ferry tickets before, but unfortunately you were delayed, and I didn't know when you would arrive, so I was not prepared.
However, I have been paying attention to the passenger ferry flights, and now there are several for us to choose from. One is tomorrow afternoon. There will be a direct passenger ferry to Nanjing. It takes about three days to reach Nanjing. Unfortunately, only ordinary warehouses are left.
There will be another passenger ferry tomorrow, which is opposite Hankou and will leave at noon, but it will stop along the way just like the one you took this time.
I inquired about it and found that this ship does not stop at as many stops as yours this time. It takes five or six days to reach Nanjing. Although it is a little slower, fortunately, there are still first-class seats left.
There is a direct boat to Nanjing the day after tomorrow, but the boat is a bit small and the speed is slow. It may have to add coal along the way. The journey should take four to five days.
The rest are small steamers and small passenger boats. Although you can charter a direct boat and it will definitely be fast, but you also know what happened before, so I don’t recommend doing so."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Liu Kuipeng finished speaking, Sun Yongning thought about it and said: "It will definitely not work to go directly to that class tomorrow, we must make a first-class warehouse.
The one at noon tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the one at noon tomorrow is faster, so I think I’ll take this one!”
After saying that, Sun Yongning looked at Lu Shaoting aside and asked: "Manager Lu, do you think this arrangement is feasible?"
Hearing this, Lu Shaoting nodded and said, "That's it! We can notify Nanjing when the ship is about to arrive in Nanjing, so that they don't know the time of our arrival."
"Yes..." Liu Kuipeng nodded after hearing this and said with a smile: "Yes, I almost forgot about this. I remember that the ship will dock in Wuhu. We should be able to notify Nanjing there."
Next, the three of them discussed the arrangements along the way. After the discussion, Liu Kuipeng used the hotel phone number to notify Zhong Heqing in Nanjing.
"Dong dong..." As soon as he finished reporting, there was a knock on the door. Liu Kuipeng quickly went to the door to open the door and asked, only to find out that it was Shen Wenbin who had caused trouble again.
No! You should call Liu Yibin now, after all, they are calling like this every day.
Liu Kuipeng closed the door and returned to the room with a helpless expression. After explaining the situation to the two of them, he asked: "Did you bring any money when you came here? If you didn't, don't tell anyone. I don't even have enough money to buy a boat ticket."
Already."
Hearing this, Sun Yongning nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry! The shopkeeper gave a large amount of activity funds when I came here, I will get it for you right now."
After saying that, Sun Yongning opened the suitcase, took out a small box, opened it and handed it to Liu Kuipeng. Inside were neatly stacked small yellow croakers.
Upon seeing this, Liu Kuipeng took one layer out of the box, put it back and said, "Let's go! Let's deal with these two people one more time, and we won't have to deal with them anymore."
After saying that, Liu Kuipeng took Sun Yongning and Lu Shaoting out of the room. As soon as he went out, he saw Shen Wenbin shouting there.
"Ah... Butler Liu, our people have arrived. Please introduce them to me quickly."
Looking at Shen Wenbin, who was laughing and joking and facing the two of them without any care, the corners of Sun Yongning's and Lu Shaoting's mouths twitched unconsciously.
"Master Liu." However, thinking of what Liu Kuipeng had just said to them, the two of them had no choice but to shout honestly and respectfully.
Listening to Shen Wenbin's words, Liu Kuipeng suppressed his anger and introduced: "Master, these two are both from Nanjing. One is named Lu and the other is Sun."
"Oh...it's Xiao Lu, Xiaosun! Let's go, let's go...I'll take you to be cool today and give you a chance to catch the wind."
After Shen Wenbin finished speaking, he walked towards the elevator with Zheng Mingchong beside him, as if he didn't care about Sun Yongning at all.
Sun Yongning and the others looked at each other and hurriedly followed. Although Shen Wenbin's attitude made Sun Yongning and others feel very uncomfortable, Shen Wenbin's behavior was very consistent with their requirements.
Before getting into the elevator, Liu Kuipeng took out a few small yellow croakers and handed them to his subordinate, asking him to buy tomorrow's boat ticket, and followed Shen Wenbin out of the hotel with peace of mind.
What Liu Kuipeng didn't notice was that Shen Wenbin saw all his actions, with a sinister smile appearing in his eyes.
In the following time, Shen Wenbin went directly to the most prosperous market in Wuchang, and went to various high-end stores to buy. After a while, he squandered all the money Liu Kuipeng brought out, and Liu Kuipeng had to ask someone to go back to get it.
Although part of the purchased items fell on Sun Yongning and the others who had just arrived, the bulk was still taken away by Shen Wenbin and his two colleagues.
What Shen Wenbin bought for himself and the two of them were high-end jewelry and jade, which were both valuable and small in size anyway.
Liu Kuipeng has become accustomed to all this, because this is what Shen Wenbin bought for himself from the beginning.
After shopping, Shen Wenbin took a group of people to a good restaurant for dinner, and then went to a dance hall. Watching the money flowing out like water, Sun Yongning and Sun Yongning finally understood Liu Kuipeng's mood.
