0697 [Give you one last chance, reject me!] (4000 word chapter)
"This Li Zhaotian is too arrogant, A Jian, are you okay?"
After Li Zhaotian left the CEO's office in Keswick, Xu Sanshao asked Shi Zhijian with concern.
Shi Zhijian nodded, "It's okay!"
"How could it be okay? God! The scene just now is something I will never forget!" Keswick, the ghost man, shouted, "And tonight you are holding activities at the pier. Remember, you can only win, not lose! I will never
Give up Wharf to that bastard Li Zhaotian! You wouldn’t do it before, and you won’t do it now!”
The ghost Keswick was so frightened that he no longer cared about any bullshit gentlemanly manners, and even used words like "bastard".
Sudivon comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Keswick, I think Ajian will handle this matter well!"
"I hope so!" Keswick stopped hiding and pointed at Shi Zhijian's nose: "I hope you will give me a good show instead of screwing it up! Remember, dear Shi,
I am very impatient!"
For Keswick, Shi Zhijian was just a pawn in his fight against Li Zhaotian, so there was no need to be polite to him at this time.
Seeing Keswick bossing around, Shi Zhijian's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he looked at the newly bought Girard-Perregaux vintage 1945 men's watch on his wrist, raised his head and said with a smile: "It's five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's eight o'clock in the evening.
The clock still has three hours! Mr. Keswick, just wait and watch the show!"
"I hope so!" Ghost Keswick snorted arrogantly.
…
"Ajian, do you have any confidence? There are no outsiders now, so you don't have to lie to me!"
Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao followed Shi Zhijian and left the president's office in Keswick.
Su Diwen stayed in the office and didn't know what to say to the ghost guy Kekeser.
Shi Zhijian looked at Xu Sanshao who was looking at him earnestly, and then at Huo Dashao who was full of worry, smiled and said: "Why, don't you believe that I can steal the dock?"
"You gave three million to United News Agency, and Lee gave five million to the Wharf people. The gap is too big!"
"Really? Then I'll make up for the gap now!"
"How to make up for it?"
"The secret must not be revealed!"
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he waved to Chen Huimin and Dasha, who were leaning on the car and eating cigarettes not far away.
Chen Huimin immediately spit out the cigarette butt and called Dasha: "Get in the car, the boss is leaving!"
The Bentley drove over and Chen Huimin helped Shi Zhijian open the door.
Shi Zhijian got into the car, stuck his head out of the car window and said to Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao who were standing on the roadside looking at him: "You two, don't be idle!"
Third Young Master Xu and Young Master Huo became excited, "What do you want us to do?"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Go to Taibai Seafood Restaurant and book a celebration banquet for me!"
After saying that, Shi Zhijian laughed and returned to the car.
Chen Huimin started the engine and the Bentley roared away.
Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao were left looking at each other.
"What are you talking about? Celebration banquet?"
"Do you want to make a reservation?"
"What do you think?"
"If you choose, don't turn it into a street party!"
After seeing Li Zhaotian's strength, Xu and Huo were still frightened!
…
"Mr. Shi, are you going to Biandu now?"
Shi Zhijian was immersed in reading the newspaper in the car. In the newspaper, Yan Xiong, the chief inspector in charge of Hong Kong Island, had made another great contribution and solved a major karaoke smuggling case at sea.
Karaoke is an expensive high-tech electronic product in this era. Like televisions and tape recorders, it has become a standard feature of the middle class and upper class. Ordinary people who want to own one can only buy cheap smuggled products.
In the newspaper was a large photo of Detective Chief Yan Xiong receiving an award from his superiors.
In the photo, Yan Xiong is beaming in police uniform and is extremely happy!
"Is Lianyingshe Tuodi the Fuxing Restaurant?" Shi Zhijian asked casually without raising his head.
"Yes, want to go there?"
"Go over and have a look!"
"Okay!" Chen Huimin stepped on the accelerator, and the Bentley sped away!
…
Soon, the Bentley arrived at Fuxing Restaurant near Wan Chai.
It's five o'clock in the afternoon and the entire restaurant has not yet opened for business.
"Is Handsome Kun here? I have something to do with him!" Shi Zhijian asked as he got off the car and handed over a ten-yuan note to the guy from United News Agency who helped park the car at the door.
The boy took the money and glanced at Chen Huimin and Dasha who got out of the car.
Dasha felt a little unfamiliar to him, but the fierce look of the other party still shocked him.
On the contrary, Chen Huimin seemed familiar to him. Although he couldn't pronounce his name, he knew that the other person was very sharp and seemed to be a double bonus stick of a certain gang.
Turning around, the young man saw that Shi Zhijian was well-dressed and spoke politely. He looked like he was not an ordinary person. He hurriedly said: "Brother Kun is working upstairs, may I ask who you are -"
"He knows what you said, Mr. Shi is looking for him!" Chen Huimin said from the side, with a domineering tone.
The younger brother shrank his neck. The words "Mr. Shi" had been heard like thunder in his ears these past few days. Looking at Shi Zhijian's smiling face, Alexander nodded and bowed: "Please wait a moment, I'll report it right away!"
After standing outside the restaurant for less than a minute, the boy ran back in a panic, nodded and bowed to Shi Zhijian, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, for keeping you waiting! Brother Kun lets you in!"
Before Shi Zhijian could do anything, Chen Huimin said angrily at the side: "Beautiful Kun is so arrogant. It's okay if he doesn't come out to greet him in person. You want Mr. Shi to go up and find him?"
Dasha was also yelling at the side: "Yes, believe it or not, I demolished this restaurant?!"
The younger brother was startled, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Kun, he really has something to do and can't get away. Please forgive me, Mr. Shi."
Chen Huimin and Dasha still wanted to speak, but Shi Zhijian made a silence gesture towards them, and then said to the younger brother with a smile: "Lead the way first!"
"Mr. Shi, please come this way!" The boy took a deep breath and felt a chill on his back, but he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
He led Shi Zhijian into the restaurant and climbed up the wooden stairs to the second floor. At this time, in the Zhongyi Hall on the second floor, Liangzi Kun was leading a group of people to burn yellow paper and cut off the chicken heads in front of the memorial tablet of the ancestor!
With one knife cut, the chicken head fell to the ground! The chicken blood was poured into the white wine along the big bowl! Then the rooster was thrown to the ground next to it! The big headless rooster was still thrashing about on the ground, which was very strange!
Shi Zhijian frowned, not expecting the other party to hold a ceremony here, so he stopped going in and watched at the door with his hands behind his back.
After Liangzi Kun finished all this, he took the lead in holding up the bowl of blood wine and recited the poem "Blood for Alliance": "Chicken blood dripped into the center of the bowl, and the bowl contained Du Kang; brothers in the same robe took a sip, and it brought good fortune and misfortune."
Sharing the responsibility.”
Then he took a big sip of the blood wine and handed it to Dao Zaihao, One-Eyed Dong and others next to him. They all drank the blood wine separately, indicating that they share the blessings and misfortunes!
Gang rituals like this are generally not allowed to be watched by outsiders, but Shi Zhijian's special status is equivalent to the "big water pipe" behind their United News Agency, so it is natural to wait and see this kind of ritual.
After almost ten minutes, the ceremony ended.
Liangzikun then turned around and hurriedly faced Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian pointed at him and said, "If I have something to talk to you about, go and talk elsewhere!"
Liang Zaikun nodded and asked Dao Zaihao to greet the scene first, and then invited Shi Zhijian to another private room next to him.
Shi Zhijian followed Liangzikun to the door of the private room and said to Chen Huimin and Dasha: "Wait for me outside!"
"Okay, Mr. Shi! If you need anything, just call me!" Chen Huimin glanced at Pretty Kun warily, then stepped back, and watched Shi Zhijian and Pretty Kun enter the private room together with Dasha.
…
The private room is very simply decorated, with an eight-immortal table, a few chairs, and a pot of green gladioli by the window.
After entering the private room, Liang Zaikun invited Shi Zhijian to sit down at the Eight Immortals table. He personally went up to help Shi Zhijian make a cup of tea, handed it over with both hands and said, "Mr. Shi, what do you want to see me for?"
"How are the preparations going?" Shi Zhijian took the tea and asked with a smile.
"You have also seen that the blood-based alliance just now and the recruitment of troops have ended!"
Shi Zhijian nodded, blew the tea foam in the teacup, and then looked up at the pretty boy Kun and said, "Have you heard about Xie Yonghua's situation?"
"What happened?"
"Five million!"
Handsome Kun nodded, "I heard that there are more people over there than us!"
"Aren't you afraid?"
"What's the use of being afraid? Jianghu people live by licking blood from the edge of a knife! Besides, I took three million from you, and I'm going to do something for you! No matter whether I win or lose!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, took a sip of tea, and looked at Handsome Kun again with stern eyes: "Now I give you a chance, you can refuse! Just give me three million back, and pretend this never happened!"
Handsome Kun also laughed, "I have already distributed the money to my brothers! They are all very poor! In this life, I am more afraid of poverty than of death! Otherwise I will come back!"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "You're right, the most fearful thing in this world is the word "poor!" After saying that, he put down the tea cup and prepared to stand up.
Handsome Kun stood up first, "Mr. Shi, please rest assured, we will go all out tonight!"
When Shi Zhijian stood up, he glanced at Handsome Kun and saw that his wrist was empty. This man who likes to dress up usually pays attention to his wardrobe, but he can't even afford a decent watch. No wonder he would work hard for three million!
The word "poor" is really scary!
Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian took off the newly bought Girard-Perregaux men's watch from his wrist, handed it to the handsome boy Kun and said: "A really handsome boy cannot live without a beautiful watch! Unfortunately, this is not the Rolex that you people in the world love most!"
"
Handsome Kun was startled for a moment, and then he reached out and took the brand new Girard-Perregaux men's watch. Although he is from the world and likes Rolex, he also knows that the value of this kind of watch is no less than that of Rolex, and it is even more advanced in terms of taste.
!
"Thank you Mr. Shi for sending me the watch!"
"Fortunately, it's a watch, not a clock!" Shi Zhijian joked, "Put it on! Check the time tonight, and I'll treat you to dinner after I'm done!"
"Received, Mr. Shi!" Pretty boy Kun put the watch that Shi Zhijian gave him on his left wrist, his eyes were shining with love!
Shi Zhijian finished what he wanted to say.
Just like what he said just now, he has given Handsome Kun a chance. Since Handsome Kun is really not afraid of death, he will go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, so he has nothing to say.
…
After Shi Zhijian finished talking about the matter, he was not ready to stay here any longer, so he turned around and left.
Chen Huimin and Dasha, who were guarding the door outside, saw him coming out and quickly stepped aside.
Pretty Kun was about to send Shi Zhijian downstairs in person, when someone behind him shouted: "May I ask if it's Mr. Shi Zhijian?"
Shi Zhijian turned around and saw an old man with gray hair wearing a long coarse cloth gown.
"Yes, I am! May I ask who you are -"
Handsome Kun stood aside and whispered: "Mr. Shi, this is my mentor and Pan Lin, the founder of Lianying News!"
Shi Zhijian remembered it. It seemed that he had some impressions of this person when he was investigating the United News. He heard that he was very sharp in kung fu, and he was very good at Cai Lifu, especially his leg skills. He was called "Ghost Kick Pan". Unfortunately, he was framed by Chen Zhichao.
Someone picked a hamstring and became a cripple!
"It turns out to be Master Pan, whose name I have admired for a long time!" Shi Zhijian said, clasping his fists towards Pan.
Ghost-footed Pan looked Shi Zhijian up and down, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Mr. Shi is indeed a talented person! It's like this. I have a few words that I want to talk to you in private. I wonder if I can give you a favor?"
"Why not!" Shi Zhijian didn't understand what Ghost Foot Pan wanted to say to him. After speaking, he pointed to the private room he just left and said: "The tea in it is still hot!"
"Please!" Ghost Foot Pan made an invitation gesture towards Shi Zhijian.
Handsome Kun didn't know what the master wanted to say to Shi Zhijian, so he was very curious and wanted to follow him in. Unexpectedly, Pan turned around and said to him: "Don't go in, just wait outside!"
Pretty Kun was stunned for a moment. Seeing the serious expression on his master's face, he couldn't say anything more. He just endured his curiosity and stood outside the door with Chen Huimin and the others.
…
In the private room.
Shi Zhijian returned to his seat, but Ghostfoot Pan did not sit down. Instead, he took the watering can next to him and watered the pot of gladiolus first.
Seeing him like this, Shi Zhijian was not anxious and picked up the cup of tea again and sipped it gently.
After Guijiao Pan finished pouring the water, he turned his back to Shi Zhijian and suddenly sighed and said: "Mr. Shi, can you let us, Lian Yingshe, go this time?!"
Shi Zhijian flicked his wrist, and the tea he was holding spilled out, making the back of his hand wet!
Shi Zhijian put down the tea cup, calmly took out his handkerchief and dipped the back of his hand in tea, then said with a smile: "Master Pan, what do you mean?"
Ghost Foot Pan turned around, a glimmer of light flashed in his originally dim eyes, he slowly put the watering can aside, looked away from Shi Zhijian, touched the slender leaves of the pot of gladioli with his fingers, and said casually
: "You understand what I'm talking about!"
"I'm sorry, I really don't understand! You mean that I controlled the United Kingdom to start a war with Wharf? I just told Liangzikun that he can refuse me as long as he wants!" Shi Zhijian was confident, "If you don't believe it,
, you can just call Liangzikun over and ask him personally!"
Ghost Foot Pan removed his fingers from the gladioli leaf, and the leaf trembled tremblingly, "That's not what I'm referring to!"
"What is that?" Shi Zhijian smiled, his eyes calm.
