The Red Cloud Chapter 20 The Provocation of the Nobles
In the Liu family's old shop on Yizi Street, two men in suits were sitting in the living room, drinking tea leisurely. One of them was Zhang Ciyu, the young master of the Zhang family. Hongtai was actually the property of the Yan family. Ciyu was arranged by Yan Xiangwen to work in the business first.
Experience, this time, it is said that he is the main leader. After all, the Zhang family is familiar with the situation in Jade Town.
However, through this period of contact, Ciyu already knew very well what kind of person Yan Xiangwen was. He was just looking for a dog. Maybe it was Liu Yuexi, maybe it was him, maybe it was all. Zhang Ciyu felt depressed and couldn't escape it.
Being at the mercy of others, no matter how hard he tries, things always get further and further away from what he wants.
"You two have been waiting for a long time. Master Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look good. I wonder what Master Zhang wants to see me for today." It was Yue Xi who spoke. When Zhang Ciyu saw the red marking rope hanging on his chest, he felt in his heart
Unavoidably bitter.
Manager Xia, who came with Zhang Ciyu, saw Zhang Baiyu and quickly took over the conversation with a rather domineering attitude, "You are Liu Yuexi."
Yue Xi looked at him and thought that he didn't even use the basic courtesy. It was obvious that the person who came was not a good person, so she didn't accept his words.
Manager Xia was probably used to being arrogant, so he continued to boast: "I am here to discuss cooperation with you on behalf of Hongyutai Trading Company. Our Hongtai is the leading large trading firm in Wangjing, and Mr. Yan's second son is the major shareholder of our firm.
I think you know Master Yan’s name, right?”
"Of course I know. I heard from Uncle Situ that the second-in-command in the province is Lord Yan Songyan." Yue Xi replied politely.
Manager Xia became even more arrogant when he saw Yue Xi's respectful look, and continued: "Since you all know, I'll keep it short. Your barrier tree has been planted, and subsequent development will require a large amount of funds. You must issue development bonds.
, our commercial bank is prepared to directly buy out all your development bonds through negotiation."
"Oh, your commercial bank is really powerful. I told you that you will issue development bonds worth 300,000 Xingchen Pearl. Your bank will take all of it. It is really rich. I don't know what the specific conditions are." Liu Yuexi continued to be conceited.
"If you agree, we will be your only creditor. As for the issuance price, of course there will be a 20% discount. We require the right to convert debt into equity after five years. In the future, we will share the enclave's transit tax and related industry income.
We will also have priority in other development projects." Manager Xia finished his shameless offer in one breath.
"Finished." Yue Xi asked.
"Ah, that's it."
"Now that it's done, let's get out." Yuexi picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.
Manager Xia jumped up and said, "Liu Yuexi, what's your attitude? We, Mr. Yan, think highly of you and that's why we came to cooperate with you. Don't be toasted and you'll be punished with a drink."
Yue Xi didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "I am a person who likes to drink alcohol for free, Aji, to see off guests."
When Aji, the clerk in the shop, saw Yuexi speaking, he immediately stood between Manager Xia and Liu Yuexi and stretched out his hand: "Manager Xia, do you want to go by yourself or should I invite you to go."
Seeing Aji's toughness, Manager Xia didn't dare to conflict with him. As he walked out, he said harshly: "Liu Yuexi, just wait for me. The day you come to beg me, then you will just lie on the ground and beg."
I, I will ignore you." Zhang Ciyu didn't say a word and left with Manager Xia.
"Zhang Ciyu." Yue Xi called him, and Zhang stopped, "You must be the one I saw at the station last time. To be honest, after fighting with you big players for so many years, you are the only one who has a bit of trouble.
I mean, it's a pity." Yue Xi looked at him contemptuously.
Zhang Ciyu turned around and smiled, "Doctor Liu, please take care of yourself." After saying that, he strode out of the door.
"Brother Yue, they are so arrogant." Aji was still angry.
Yue Xi sneered: "You're from the provincial capital, so of course it's different."
Here, Dusk Aurora is walking hard on the lively street of lights. The little devil Ziling is riding on his head and directing him to wander here and there. The two little girls
The sky was going completely crazy, and Aurora was secretly complaining.
"Dad, Dad, hurry up, there is a puppet show ahead." Dusk Aurora said: "Zi Ling, Dad is tired, why don't we go back earlier, if it's too late, your sister should be worried.
"
Xiao Ziling pouted, "No, I still want to play. My sister usually looks down on me very strictly. I don't have fun at all. Dad, please stay with me for a while."
Dusk Jiguang saw that there was a show and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, let's go to watch the puppet show. Zi Ling, daddy, can I ask you something?"
"you say."
"Would Ziling be willing to live with daddy?"
"Of course I do. Does sister agree to dad living here? Dad, you are so awesome."
"No, I mean, would you like to go to Harbor City with dad? Dad found a new job somewhere, and he wants to pick you up with him."
"What about sister and brother Yue? Will they go together too?"
"Of course they won't go. Your sister is already married and is already the daughter-in-law of the Liu family. Zi Ling, your father is your relative. Why don't you go to Harbor City with your father?" Ji Guang kept brainwashing Zi Ling.
"No, Zi Ling don't leave sister and brother Yue. Brother Yue and sister are Zi Ling's family. Brother Yue promised Zi Ling that when Zi Ling grows up, he will be brother Yue's bride, and then they can always be together.
La." Xiao Ziling obviously took Yue Xi's joke completely seriously, which made Dusk Aurora very anxious. It's a bit troublesome for this damn girl to be so hard to deceive.
"Mr. Dusk, it's quite late. Miss Ziling should go home. If you don't go back, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu will blame us. Please don't make things difficult for us." The man in charge of surveillance received Liuzi's order and showed up to ask for help.
Take Zi Ling back.
"Okay, let's go back now." Dusk Aurora was already exhausted from the torment of the living treasure on his head. This time someone came to pick up the little devil, and he naturally agreed happily.
In the evening, Liu's restaurant was still lively. Yue Xi was sitting and eating. Twilight Yue deliberately kept a certain distance from him. Liu Yuexi took a sneak peek. Although Twilight had deliberately put on makeup, her eyes were still swollen from crying.
Something was obvious, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed at his excessive words at noon. He didn't have any idea for a moment, so he thought about apologizing to Twilight in private after the meal. Just as he was thinking about it, Ajie put down his chopsticks, raised his glass and stood up, saying
: "Aunt, Brother Yue and sister-in-law, let me introduce you. This is Miss Lin Wanqiu whom I mentioned to you last time. I want to announce something. Wanqiu and I have discussed it and we have decided to be together in the future.
, I hope to receive everyone’s blessings.”
What, together, what do you call together, marriage or cohabitation, what the hell, Yuexi was a little confused by Ajie's strange thinking, but after all, she promised not to tear him down, and it was also their own.
It was hard to say anything about the matter, so he immediately reacted, applauded and said: "Of course I wish you well, uh, I wish you happiness, ah, by the way, young master, if you need anything, just ask, that Miss Lin Wanqiu, just ask
When this is your own home, if you have any requests, just tell my wife."
After Yue Xi deliberately pulled Twilight Yue, Twilight Yue had no choice but to stand up and said, "Yes, yes, just treat it as your own home. If you need anything, just ask me."
Lin Wanqiu also raised his glass and stood up, looking at Zi Yue and Liu Yuexi, feeling a little embarrassed, "Then I'd like to trouble my aunt and brother and sister-in-law. If there is anything I don't do well in the future, I hope everyone will correct me in time."
I'll drink first as a token of respect." After drinking the wine in the glass, everyone also raised their glasses and blessed the unreliable couple. Of course, the happiest person was our protagonist Ajie.
But regardless of whether he was reliable or not, embarrassed or not, like a living monkey, he dragged Wan Qiu to drink with acquaintances one by one, until he was drunk and unconscious, and then he went back to his room with the help of the family servant and Wan Qiu.
.
Liu's mother shook her head as she looked at it. Yuexi had no choice but to smile at her mother. After all, she was not her biological son.
The old lady didn't bother to care about her son's affairs. She chatted with Yue Xi for a while about Zi Ling's affairs, and then went back to her room to rest.
Seeing that her mother was gone, Yue Xi ran to Zi Yue's room in a hurry. Zi Yue was still angry, so she naturally ignored him. Yue Xi asked flatteringly: "Wife, what's the matter with you? You hid in the room as soon as you finished eating."
What about in your own room? It’s not good if the mistress is not here.”
It's okay not to say it, but what he said made Zi Yue cry again, "Didn't you say that? Let me not embarrass you everywhere. You are not satisfied with me staying in my own room." Zi Yue was extremely aggrieved.
.
"Ah, my dear wife, I encountered a few emergencies at noon. As you know, this is my problem. When I get angry, I speak indiscriminately. What I said at noon are all angry words. Don't take it to heart.
"Yue Xi said as she leaned over.
"When you have something on your mind, you just take it out on me. What do you think I am? How do you let the family see me? How do the servants at home see me? It's you who lets me ask the monkey for help when I have something to do, and it's you who doesn't let me."
You, what do you want me to do?" Zi Yue said while beating Yue Xi's chest. Yue Xi let her vent. After a while, Zi Yue ran out of energy.
Yuexi lowered her head and apologized seriously, "It's all my fault. My wife has been greatly wronged. I promise I will never do this again."
Zi Yue bit him hard, Yue Xi pretended to be in pain and tried to please her wife, "Okay, don't be rude. How is Zi Ling's matter? Is there any solution?"
Yue Xi sat down next to Twilight and told Twilight about her general thoughts, "This is probably the solution, but I really don't want to beg her unless it's a last resort. Twilight, as I said just now, it's really a last resort.
, Zi Ling is leaving here early to study in Xiya City, are you willing? Of course this is a last resort."
Twilight Yue thought for a long time and answered affirmatively: "This is the only option, it's better than being with that bastard."
"Okay, tomorrow, I'm going to Wangjing to do something important. It may take a while. Just in time, you just excused my absence and dragged the old bastard with you. I asked Liuzi to keep an eye on his every move. It's really tricky. Always
It will show the truth."
Zi Yue nodded, "Well, I listen to you. If you really don't want to ask Teacher Fan, you can actually use the method you mentioned to me before. I am willing to do anything for my sister."
Liu Yuexi frowned: "What are you thinking about, silly girl? That's your sister. I just treat her as my sister. You're not allowed to have random thoughts in the future, you know."
After hearing Yue Xi's words, Zi Yue was stunned for a moment, then hugged Yue Xi tightly, "You said something was urgent just now, is it important?"
Yue Xi patted her and said, "It's all external matters. Just don't worry about it. It sounds terrible. I will solve it."
"Then be careful, I can't live without you now." The woman's dependence moved Yue Xi's heart.
"Oh, and you're right. It's not good for me to go out alone with the monkey all the time. It makes people gossip. Please help me return the moon stone he gave me last time. It's not suitable for me to keep.
I will never go out alone with monkeys again." Twilight Yue calmed down and thought about many things. Maybe she felt that she should avoid the suspicion and wanted to make amends.
"Okay, that's it." Yue Xi nodded.
Twilight Yue added: "But the monkey seems to be in poor health and keeps coughing. You should be concerned about it, after all, he is your brother."
Yue Xi fell on Zi Yue's lap and sighed: "It's time to take care of him. You shouldn't say that to him at noon today. His health is probably getting worse day by day."
"What." Zi Yue didn't understand Yue Xi's words.
"I'll tell you later..." Yue Xi replied meaningfully, burying her head in Zi Yue's arms and closing her eyes. Zi Yue touched his hair and wanted to ask something more. Unexpectedly, Yue Xi
She has fallen asleep. The continuous troubles in the past few days have made Yuexi very stressed, but the bad news is far from over.
