The private plane landed at an airport in Jiangnan that is not open to the public. The only people who can land the plane here are high-ranking officials. Ordinary wealthy businessmen, no matter how much money they have, cannot get a landing permit here.
A black Bentley car was already waiting outside the airport. Its license plate number was four domineering '8's. Behind the Bentley car was a black high-end business car.
Lin Kun supported Mr. Zhu and slowly walked out of the airport. The old man was still very weak. He had already started to sweat after walking a few steps. Mr. Zhu suggested that he should bring Lin Kun to see him.
Lin Kun originally refused to see his grandpa and grandma who were still alive. It was not because he didn’t want to see his grandma and grandpa, but because he considered Mr. Zhu’s health.
As a result, Mr. Zhu insisted, and Lin Kun naturally couldn't disobey him. He took Mr. Zhu's private plane and flew for more than five hours, finally arriving in Jiangnan, a place with pleasant scenery and a mild climate.
Compared with the harsh winter in the north, here it feels like spring has entered so early.
The old housekeeper and Jiang Kuisheng followed the grandfather and grandson on both sides, followed by Mr. Zhu's personal bodyguards Xiao Liang and Xiao Chen.
There was a man standing in front of the Bentley, in his fifties, wearing a smart suit. When he saw Mr. Zhu walking out of the airport, his calm face immediately became excited, and he stepped forward to greet him.
He greeted with a humble face: "Mr. Zhu, you are here!"
Mr. Zhu nodded with a smile and stretched out his hand. The man quickly stretched out his hands to hold it as if he was flattered, "Mr. Zhu, you are tired from the long journey. I have arranged your accommodation and hotel. Next, you will go to the restaurant for dinner first.
Or go to the hotel to rest?”
Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "Xiao Li, I appreciate your kindness. I am not here for fun this time. Please send us to Shen's house."
The man called Xiao Li said respectfully: "Okay, Mr. Zhu, I will obey your orders."
Lin Kun and Mr. Zhu were sitting in the Bentley, and a man named Li sat in the front passenger seat to accompany him. When they first met, Li Yishan didn't look at Lin Kun too carefully. Now, by talking, he
He secretly took another look at Lin Kun, but he, an old guy who had already been mixed up in the officialdom, couldn't figure out the reason.
Mr. Zhu saw the confusion in Li Yishan's eyes, smiled and introduced him and Lin Kun: "Xiao Li, this person next to me is Xiao Lin, a rare little friend of mine. From now on, in your Jiangnan territory,
If you need help with anything, don't hesitate."
Li Yishan immediately said in fear: "I don't dare."
Mr. Zhu smiled and said to Lin Kun again: "Xiao Lin, this is a first-class official in Jiangnan. Li Yishan, Secretary Li, is the parent officer of Jiangnan Province. If you want to come to Jiangnan to develop in the future, you must rely on Secretary Li a lot.
"
Li Yishan immediately said in fear: "Zhu Lao's words are serious, don't dare to take them seriously."
Lin Kun smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Secretary Li."
Li Yishan turned around, shook hands with Lin Kun, and praised: "Comrade Xiao Lin, you can be appreciated by Mr. Zhu at such a young age, and your future will be limitless."
Lin Kun said with a smile: "Secretary Li, you have thanked me. Along the way, I have seen the beautiful scenery and prosperous cities in the south of the Yangtze River. Secretary Li's good leadership is indispensable."
Li Yishan smiled and said: "Comrade Xiaolin, you have also given me the award. This is all a good policy of our Central Committee of China. We, the people of Jiangnan, have been blessed by the government."
Lin Kun smiled and praised each other with Li Yishan on the surface, but he was quite surprised in his heart. When he just walked out of the airport, he thought Li Yishan was a wealthy businessman, but he didn't expect that he was actually the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Jiangnan Province, which can be said to be the leader of Jiangnan Province. The biggest official.
The Bentley parked in front of a large house. The gate of the house was completely built in accordance with the ancient style. The door beam was tall and there was a large plaque with the two characters "Shen's Mansion" inlaid on it. There is a stone lion on display.
On the street in front of the house, a group of children gathered together to chatter and set off firecrackers. When they saw a Bentley and a commercial vehicle stopped, a boy in red clothes pointed at the Bentley and said to his companions: "This car It’s called a Bentley, it’s quite valuable!”
The other little guys looked at the little boy with admiration. One of them, a little girl with two sky-high pigtails, asked: "Brother Laifu, how much is this car worth?"
The little boy called Laifu blinked his big eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "I have a lot of money!"
The other friends were stunned for a moment, then laughed together, saying that Laifu was bragging. Only the little girl who just asked the question did not laugh, but nodded seriously and looked at Laifu. It's full of pure adoration.
Li Yishan got out of the car first, quickly went around to the back of the car, and opened the door for Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu got out of the car with a cane, stood at the door of the Shen family courtyard, and looked inside.
The yard was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the atmosphere was very festive. Several servants were busy there, all of them beaming with joy. The old man of the Shen family probably gave him a lot of red envelopes at the end of the year.
Shen Wanjin is an absolute celebrity and wealthy businessman in Jiangnan Province, ranking among the top three in the entire Jiangnan Province. A smile appeared on Mr. Zhu's face, recalling the time when he and Mr. Shen worked side by side, when they were both still young. Mr. Shen always likes to brag that he is a descendant of Shen Wansan, a wealthy businessman from the Ming Dynasty. In fact, he has nothing to do with Shen Wansan. They just happen to have the same surname and were both born in Jiangnan.
But this person named Shen Wan is really destined to be a wealthy businessman. Although Shen Wanjin's current wealth is far less wealthy than Shen Wansan's in the Ming Dynasty, he still has a huge wealth.
Mr. Zhu looked at the children on the side and smiled and waved to the boy in red. The little guy was being scolded by his companions and had an ugly expression on his face. Seeing Mr. Zhu waving at him, the expression on his face was stunned. He was stunned, looked around, and then said doubtfully: "Grandpa, are you calling me?"
Zhu Lao said with a smile: "Yes, among these little guys, you are the smartest. What is your name?"
Without waiting for Laifu to answer, the other little guys rushed to say, "His name is Laifu!"
Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "Oh, Laifu, what a good name. Come, grandpa, here is some candy." He took out a small handful of candy from his pocket and said with a smile: "Go and share it with your friends. .”
Laifu hesitated on his face and did not reach out to take the candy right away, but his little eyes were full of expectation. There is no child in the world who doesn't like eating candy, not to mention that he had just been scolded by his friends for bragging. If he gave the candy to They, they will thank themselves immediately.
Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "Laifu, are you afraid that my grandpa is a bad person and will lie to you?"
Laifu nodded sincerely, and the other children's eyes were full of anticipation. They looked at the candy in Mr. Zhu's hand for a while, and then looked at Laifu who was hesitating.
Some friends couldn't hold it any longer and began to whisper to Laifu, "Laifu, I want to eat candy. Go get it and share it with us."
Mr. Zhu smiled lovingly and said: "Little guy, look at me, my grandpa is already so old, and he still comes here in such a valuable car. Does he look like someone who can deceive children?"
Laifu shook his head, "It's not like that."
Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "Then take it quickly, your friends are all anxious. Don't worry, grandpa won't let you take the candy for free. You have to go into Shen's house to help inform."
A smile immediately appeared on Laifu's hesitant face, "My mother told me that no reward will be given for no merit. Since grandpa needs my help, I want this candy. Thank you grandpa!"
A group of children gathered together to share candies. The little guy named Laifu only kept one piece for himself and shared the rest with his friends. The little girl with two pigtails that towered over the sky got the most.
Li Yishan stood beside Mr. Zhu, worried that the children would waste time, and whispered: "Mr. Zhu, how about I go and report it directly?"
Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I promised to let the kid help, and I have to keep my promise."
After Laifu distributed the candy, he immediately ran to Mr. Zhu. The little guy raised his red face and said, "Grandpa, who are you looking for from the Shen family? I'll go in and inform you."
Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "Look for Shen Wanjin. My name is Zhu Bingshan. Just say you are Mr. Zhu from Yanjing."
"Shen Wanjin?"
Laifu shook his little head and said, "Grandpa, who is Shen Wanjin? I don't know him."
Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "He is the person who is said to be the best in the Shen family. Go quickly."
"Oh, I see, it's Mr. Shen!" Laifu immediately jumped into the courtyard, grabbed the arm of a servant, pointed at Mr. Zhu and the others and said something.
After hearing this, the servant immediately went to find the housekeeper in charge of the Shen family. Not long after, a round-faced old man walked out of the Shen family courtyard, and Laifu followed him.
"Excuse me, which one of you is looking for our master?" the old housekeeper said with a smile, very polite.
Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "If I remember correctly, you should be Xiao Zhang. More than 20 years ago, you were just a waiter, and now you are a housekeeper?"
The expression on the little old man's face was slightly startled, but he looked at Mr. Zhu carefully. Laifu whispered beside him: "Grandpa Zhang, this old man said he came from Yanjing."
The expression on the little old man's face immediately froze. When the old man's most beloved little girl got married, he had met the famous Mr. Zhu in Yanjing City. At that time, he was still a young man in his thirties. Now They are all old men.
"Zhu, Mr. Zhu?" the little old man said, the expression on his face instantly became respectful. As he was speaking, Li Yishan, who had just gone to answer the phone, came back. The little old man immediately said: "Secretary Li!" But he was even more sure in his heart. Mr. Zhu’s identity is revealed.
Being able to be accompanied by dignified officials from a province is not something ordinary nobles can have.
Li Yishan smiled and nodded at the housekeeper of Shen Mansion. He just said hello briefly, but didn't say much. With Mr. Zhu here, he didn't dare to take the lead casually.
Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "It seems that your memory is pretty good. Do you still remember that old man Shen Wanjin is at home? Go in and inform him that I am here."
"Master, he is here, but..." Butler Li looked hesitant and embarrassed. When the young lady married into the Zhu family, the Zhu family and the Shen family had a very good relationship. However, unfortunately, the young lady passed away in the Zhu family, and the old man was too sad. He vowed to have no further contact with the Zhu family.
At this time of the New Year, the master has been in a good mood recently, but what if he knew that Mr. Zhu came to see him and touched his brow? As a slave of the Shen family, if he took the master's money, he would I was worried about the master, but while Butler Li was hesitating, a energetic old man's voice came from the small courtyard.
"Who's outside?"
When the housekeeper surnamed Li heard the sound, he quickly turned around and responded respectfully: "Master..." But he didn't dare to say the rest of the words. He was afraid that once he said it, Mr. Shen, who was originally in a good mood, would immediately become furious. Although Mr. Shen Even though he is old, he still has a strong temper. When he stamps his feet like this, the entire Shen family trembles with fear.
"Um?"
Before Butler Li could say anything else, Shen Wanjin, dressed in luxurious clothes, walked out accompanied by two young men, a man and a woman. His eyes first fell on Li Yishan, and then he laughed and said: "Secretary Li, here you go. Don’t tell me in advance!”
Li Yishan's smile was a little awkward, very different from before. Shen Wanjin noticed something strange, and then his eyes fell on Mr. Zhu, his brows wrinkled slightly, and his face immediately turned cold...
