"Uncle Luo, Xiaobing, I didn't expect you to come. I'm really happy." Xue Chen just received a call from Luo Bing and learned that she and her father had also arrived. He was surprised and hurried downstairs to greet her.
.
Luo Hai put his hands behind his back and nodded with a smile: "Xue Chen, congratulations on getting rich."
"Uncle Chengluo's good words."
Luo Hai glanced at the twenty or thirty luxury cars parked around him again with his peripheral vision, still feeling uneasy. Some time ago, he learned about Xue Chen's situation in detail from his cousin Luo Jiang.
Have a full understanding of Xue Chen.
Therefore, with today's arrival, he just wanted to ease the relationship. Today's Xue Chen is not comparable to the past, so he will naturally no longer hinder the connection between his daughter and Xue Chen.
He had just gotten out of the taxi and was shocked to see the car parked in front of the store. The grand scene was a bit beyond his expectation.
Suddenly, a black Magotan among the luxury cars caught his attention. After all, it was the least eye-catching among the luxury cars. But when he saw the license plate, Luo Hai, who was well versed in officialdom knowledge, made a new discovery.
It was a car with a special license plate. He remembered that this should be the special license plate number section exclusive to the Yang'an City Public Security Department, and the license plate number section was obviously very high, enough to rank among the top ten...
"Hey, Xue Chen, who is this car?" Luo Hai couldn't help but pointed at the Magotan and asked.
"Uncle Luo, is there something wrong with this car?" Xue Chen turned around and asked.
Luo Hai realized that he had lost his composure and coughed: "No problem, that should be the car of a comrade from the public security system."
"Ah, Uncle Luo has really good eyesight. This is Director Zhang's car of the Heyuan District Bureau."
Luo Hai looked stern, nodded, said nothing, and followed into the antique store. There was already a turmoil in his heart. He thought he had remembered it wrong, but he didn't expect it to be true. The director of a district bureau also
coming.
After walking up to the second floor of the antique store and looking at the powerful, powerful and wealthy guests present, Luo Hai felt that when he, the office director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, arrived, no one looked at him more, so he had to look for him in the corner.
Sit down at an empty seat.
When the time reached noon, Xue Chen held a banquet in a four-star hotel in Yang'an City and entertained all the guests present. It was not until the evening that all the guests left.
Xue Chen was happy when the antique branch opened, and his friends around him were happy for him. Of course, there were also some who were very unhappy, and Chi Jingtian was one of them.
After Chi Jingtian wrote an anonymous reporting letter, he found that the reporting letter had disappeared, and he felt really depressed. Recently, he heard that Xue Chen's antique branch was about to open, and he felt even more angry and couldn't vent his anger.
In order to vent his anger, he came to the archery hall, took the target as Xue Chen, and started shooting hard. But maybe because he was in a bad mood, his performance was very poor, not at his usual level.
Playing archery with him was a man in his forties, who was also a member of the Yang'an Archery Association and served as the vice president. His name was Zhao Shi, who was also Chi Jingtian's archery buddy.
This man has a strong body, strong arms, and his archery skills are extraordinary. He is much better than Chi Jingtian. Seeing Chi Jingtian's poor performance and his always gloomy expression, he expressed concern.
"Sedum, you are not in a good mood today. By the way, why didn't you bring the bow and arrows you brought back from England?"
Chi Jingtian glanced at Zhao Shi, looked slightly embarrassed and whispered: "That bow and arrow... made me lose."
"Lost?" Zhao Shi exclaimed in surprise.
Chi Jingtian nodded helplessly.
Zhao Shi put down the bow and arrows in his hands: "Jingtian, tell me what's going on. I know your level, but I taught you step by step. You can definitely beat you among the amateur players in Yang'an City."
There were no more than three, who did you lose to?"
Although he felt embarrassed when he thought that he lost to Xue Chen, Chi Jingtian simply said: "Well, the person I lost to was not from Yang'an, but from Haicheng. Some time ago, I went to participate...
…”
Zhao Shi frowned and listened carefully. After listening, he said in an unhappy tone: "Jingtian, I think you must have been deceived. How could that man named Xue Chen beat you in archery for the first time?"
I'm pretending on purpose, just to paralyze you and win over you while you're careless."
Hearing what Zhao Shi said, Chi Jingtian let out a breath and felt a little better: "I don't know if he's just pretending, but his archery level is really good, at least he's not inferior to me."
Zhao Shi frowned: "Jingtian, I remember that you spent tens of thousands of pounds to buy that bow. Are you willing to lose to that man just like that?"
"Willing?" Chi Jingtian shook his head, how could he be willing?! He is full of resentment towards Xue Chen now, but has nowhere to express it.
"Let's do this, I'll get the bow back for you!" Zhao Shi said suddenly.
"Huh?" Chi Jingtian turned his head when he heard this.
"You are my half-disciple no matter what. You lost your bow and arrow to someone from Haicheng. If this news gets out, it will not look good on me. I will help you win the bow and arrow back." Zhao Shi said firmly.
Chi Jingtian was startled.
"What? Do you think I will lose?" Zhao Shi smiled confidently.
"Of course I believe Brother Zhao!" Chi Jingtian said hurriedly. Zhao Shi is one of the founders of the Yang'an Archery Association. He was once a member of the Yunzhou Provincial Archery Team. He is a professional archery team member. His archery skills
It was Zhao Shi who taught him, so he naturally knew that Zhao Shi's level was definitely not comparable to that of an amateur.
"Let's do this, you contact that person, find some time to play, and I will win the bow and arrow back for you." Zhao Shi said in a relaxed tone, as if he was doing something easy.
"Okay!" Chi Jingtian clenched his fists and agreed.
…
On the second day after the opening, before Xue Chen was about to return to Haicheng, he called Xue Chao and Huang Pinqing to him in the antique store and entrusted him: "Brother Chao, Mr. Huang, the branch will be managed by you two."
"Xiaochen, don't worry, I will take care of it with all my heart." Xue Chao said with a red face. As the store manager, he finally took office today. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He was tired from the previous period and now he can see that
It's all worth it.
Huang Pinqing coughed and glanced at Xue Chen: "Um...me too." Although he compromised in his heart, he was still a little awkward.
Xue Chen looked at Huang Pinqing and nodded without saying anything else. As long as Huang Pinqing is not a fool, he should be honest.
Just when he had finished his instructions and was about to leave, an uninvited guest broke into the store. He was a tall and round man. He shouted loudly in the store on the first floor: "Who is the store owner? Our boss has invited us to come over and talk about something."
Xue Chen went downstairs, looked at the visitor, and asked, "Who is your boss?"
The man glared and said very arrogantly: "Our boss is Mr. Lu, the general manager of Red Star Security."
"Red Star Security?"
Come and then go? If he wants to talk, he can come over in person, but I will be leaving Yang'an soon. If he wants to talk, he'd better come over within half an hour. If he doesn't want to talk, that's fine.
.”
The man who was sent frowned, as if he was about to get angry, but he also seemed to be afraid of something. After looking at Xue Chen, he turned around and pushed the door open and left.
After more than twenty minutes, Xue Chen saw a black Mercedes-Benz sedan parked in front of the store. It must have been Mr. Lu from the so-called Red Star Security Company.
A man about forty years old got out of the car, supported by several younger brothers, and strode to the door of the store. The younger brothers stayed at the door, and only the leading man entered the store.
After entering the store, Mr. Lu glanced around with sharp eyes and landed on Xue Chen, who was the only one who did not look up at him. He took two steps forward and said loudly: "This should be Xue Chen."
Sir, I’m Lu Dayou, General Manager of Red Star Security."
Xue Chen then took a serious look. After standing up, he asked calmly: "Oh, Mr. Lu, please sit down. What do you want to do for me?"
When Lu Dayou saw Xue Chen's attitude towards him, although he was slightly annoyed, the expression on his face remained unchanged, with a smile on his face, because he knew that the other party had someone to rely on and had a deep background, so he could not be easily offended, otherwise
, how could I come here in person?
“Mr.
He said in a deep voice.
"Let them go?" Xue Chen raised the corners of his mouth, chuckled, and asked.
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Lu Dayou's expression, and he said: "I know what happened these days is the fault of my brothers, but they are doing things for me. Director Zhang asked them to surrender today. I dare not not go, but I don't
I can't bear to see them being imprisoned. I hope Mr. Xue can give me, Mr. Lu, some face and let them go. I will be grateful in the future."
After saying these words, Lu Dayou sighed in his heart. Yesterday, after Ma Laoliu went back, he told the whole story in fear. He was also shocked because he was knocked down by Zhang Jingxian while collecting protection money.
Things are too tricky.
Naturally, he also has some friends in the public security system, but they are just small leaders of some departments, far from Zhang Jingxian's level. He made several calls in succession, and when he heard that they were pleading with Zhang Jingxian, they all hung up in a hurry.
Telephone.
And Ma Laoliu and several of his younger brothers were so worried that they didn't sleep all night. They didn't know what to do. If they escaped, Zhang Jingxian would get angry and put them on the wanted list online, and the matter would be very serious. As for going there
Surrendering yourself is also difficult to accept.
So, Xue Chen was invited to discuss the matter, but he didn't expect that Xue Chen would not give any face at all. Not only did he not go, but he only gave them thirty minutes to rush over. (To be continued)
