The next day, in the morning, it was around eight or nine o'clock.
"Hello?"
"Change and go out, I'll wait for you downstairs."
He said simply and hung up the phone. Standing in front of the kitchen sink, Tang Chao was stunned with his cell phone in hand. He subconsciously leaned over and looked down through the window. Sure enough, there was a familiar black Mercedes parked in front of the apartment building.
.
this……
Xie Wei was not that free. Even though today was Saturday, there must be a reason for his sudden visit. Tang Chao also thought of it. If he guessed correctly, he should be here to arrange for him to come. But he never expected that it would be so soon.
I just mentioned it casually last night, but the call came today. Is the execution ability so high?
I scratched my head speechlessly, turned off the faucet, and poured the fresh water in the basin into the potted plants on the balcony. I originally planned to sharpen the knife, but now I naturally stopped thinking about it, changed my clothes, and went out to go downstairs.
After saying hello, Xie Wei sat in the back seat and nodded in response. She was the only one in the car. The driver Liang Ge and assistant Li Xiaolin were not accompanying them. It seemed that they were specially arranged for him... Tang Chao touched his nose and felt very
Consciously open the driver's door and get in.
"Do you know Nanhu Road?"
"I probably know the location."
"Okay, let's go there first."
After saying that, Xie Wei lowered her head and poked at the tablet on her lap with the touch screen pen. On the leather seat beside her were several piles of information bound in transparent document bags. They seemed to be divided into categories, so there was no need to look at them to confirm.
Picking it up and looking through it, the entire rear seat looks like a small mobile office. There is even an unopened cup of Starbucks on the cup holder in the middle armrest...
The atmosphere of business elite is coming!
Looking at the Starbucks that was also placed in the armrest box next to the stall, Tang Chao raised his eyebrows, started the car and drove out slowly without asking any questions.
The whole journey was silent.
This is not a competition between the two. Xie Wei seems to be really busy. Unless she is on the phone, she rarely takes her eyes off the tablet. Tang Chao, on the other hand, is purely indifferent. Just listen if the other party wants to tell you. It doesn't matter if you don't. Sooner or later
Everyone knows things, the worst case scenario is just to be a driver again, it’s nothing, it’s not like I’ve never been a driver...
Having said that, the last time the two of them were alone in a car was on the streets of Los Angeles, and they were also driving in Tang Dynasty. But the atmosphere was obviously much more harmonious then, unlike now. Although they didn't hate each other, they still felt comfortable sitting together.
There's really nothing to say.
In silence, the car arrived at a commercial street on Nanhu Road. Xie Wei made a phone call. Not long after, a man in a suit who looked like an agency came over on a battery car. His smile was full of industry-specific enthusiasm, especially when he saw Xie Wei coming from
When I got off the Mercedes-Benz, I became even more enthusiastic.
The Tang Dynasty followed like an outsider and was led by the intermediary man to a shop facing the street. There was a notice of leasing and transfer on the closed roller shutter door. The intermediary man opened the door quickly and invited Xie Wei to come in and watch.
Is this a rental?
Seeing this, Tang Chao couldn't help but be slightly startled. He vaguely realized something, but there was too little information to be sure at the moment.
Xie Wei, however, seemed to have really come to see the house. She looked calm and listened noncommittally to the intermediary man's eloquent introduction. She walked around and occasionally asked a few questions... She looked not very satisfied. Of course, it might be that
It was a means of bargaining at a later stage. I didn’t make too many comments. After reading it, I just left a polite sentence to think about it again, then turned around and left.
The agency man obviously wanted to fight for it again. After several attempts, he finally met Xie Wei's gaze line. His shoulders and back subconsciously slumped, and he opened his mouth. It was as if his excellent eloquence suddenly failed. He stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence. He stared blankly.
Xie Wei and Tang Chao got into the car and left.
“Xijiang Road!”
Next stop, next stop, next stop...
The two of them walked around the city of Lingjiang all morning. Except for looking at houses, they basically spent the rest of the time in the car, including lunch, unpacking vegetables and fast food. After dealing with the problem, they continued running.
During this period, of course, it was impossible for the two of them to communicate without a word, but they both avoided the topic of renting a house, neither said anything, nor asked, but they had a tacit understanding.
Finally, around five o'clock in the afternoon, as the sun set, after checking out a shop facing the street, she got in the car. Xie Wei took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat, glanced at Tang Chao strangely, moved away, and said lightly: "
Your driving skills are indeed good, but driving a taxi is a waste of time. You should work as a full-time driver for my elder brother."
Brother Xie Wei, Tangdou's uncle, was the mayor of Lingjiang City. This sounded like praise and ridicule, which was difficult to accept, so Tang Chao usually pretended to be stupid and laughed twice to fool him.
Xie Wei didn't care. She lowered the window and looked around. There were two or three people on the street: "What do you think of this environment?"
"Ah? Pretty good." Tang Chao was a little caught off guard by the question, but what he said was indeed the truth, not perfunctory.
I had roughly observed the surrounding environment when I arrived, and there is no explanation for occupational diseases. This is an old city, but it is not an old city reconstruction area, or to be more precise, the changes have not been much, because there are several historic buildings here.
Architectural monuments. When driving over, I also saw a section of the ancient city wall. At the end of the road ahead, at the corner, you can see a corner of a large museum. Speaking of which, Tangdou’s private aristocratic school is not far from here. It has a rich cultural atmosphere and is geographically located.
Not far from the city center, the combination of modernity and tradition makes it really comfortable to be in it.
"I think it's okay." Xie Wei squinted her eyes and whispered softly, "It's just that the rent is not cheap, but in this location, it's not too much..."
As if he was calculating something silently, he suddenly turned his head and said, "I plan to open a music store, and you will be the owner!"
"Ah?!" Tang Chao was really stunned by this sudden attack. His mind was working rapidly, and he subconsciously analyzed the reasons and motivations of the other party's decision, but it seemed that there was no need for it, because Xie Wei had already said it,
"Are you surprised? Isn't this what you asked for? I'm relatively stupid and can't do other things. I'm not sure..."
Spreading his hands, he said, "You are always sure about musical instruments. I heard from Little Tangdou that you know many kinds of musical instruments and are very talented in this area. Chu Fengya has been learning guitar from you and helped with the recording last time."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I have no research in this field, but since you can convince Chu Fengya and the others, you are an expert. You don't need to do anything else. Just maintain the instruments in the store normally.
, if someone wants to buy it, it’s not difficult to charge according to the price, right?”
You have already told me all the good things, what else can I say... Tang Chao's mouth twitched imperceptibly. To be honest, before this, he actually had no idea about the arrangement that Xie Wei vaguely revealed.
Keeping it in mind, I thought it was just another attempt, and whether it succeeded or not would be considered a matter of hard work. Who would have thought that she could do it in one step, directly sealing off the dead end, being strong and decisive, and taking practical actions...
Well, this is just her way of doing things.
How careless!
But having said that, although Tang Chao sighed speechlessly, he really couldn't say anything to refute and refuse.
It was indeed a kind intention, and it was the kind of thing that would directly pave the way for success. In addition, as mentioned before, Xie Wei was not that free, and dedicated a whole day... No, it was definitely not just one day!
This idea was definitely not something that Xie Wei would come up with in a short time. It can be seen from the route of the Mercedes-Benz today. They visited no less than ten street shops one after another. Not to mention contacting so many intermediaries, the steering wheel was always on
In the hands of Tang Chao, he naturally knew that although they were running around today, seemingly irregularly, looking back now, this itinerary must have been studied and planned in advance, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a high level of shopkeepers.
efficiency.
From the analysis of Xie Wei's character of being meticulous in everything and pursuing perfection, the decision to open a music store was to take care of the Tang Dynasty, but on the other hand, she must have gone through a lot of market research and read countless information. Making money is the first time
If she wants, let Tang Chao be the shop owner, she probably doesn't think about this, but she can't hand over a sunset industry with no prospects to Tang Chao. That is not an arrangement, but a waste of time and harming the younger generation...
...She can't do this kind of thing.
Because of this, Tang Chao really couldn't refuse, and was moved and moved in his heart. To be honest, this feeling is quite strange, but it is precisely because of the strangeness that it is precious.
Xie Wei really treats the two brothers and sisters as family members.
After being silent for a while, Tang Chao slowly shook his head: "Thank you, but I still feel that there is something wrong with being a shopkeeper."
Xie Wei couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and wanted to say something, but Tang Chao scratched his head and said, "I don't have a lot of money. I worked for more than half a year, and the total amount is about 100,000. I want to take part in this investment in the piano store."
share."
Taking a share does not mean that he has the ambition to be promoted from a simple wage earner to a boss. Although the 100,000 yuan that Tang Chao took out was his entire property, it was really a drop in the bucket for opening a music store, and it might only be enough for a few months' rent.
But the Tang Dynasty still did this, just to show an attitude, make profits together and bear losses together, nothing more.
After being startled, Xie Wei suddenly smiled and shook her head, "Oh, you are not stupid at all to be able to say these words." She pondered for a moment, "Okay, I agree, and you will get a share of 100,000.
, I will go back and draw up the specific proportion contract. Well, I wish our cooperation in advance to be faster!"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand, Tang Chao also smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking hands, and the partnership was reached, which seemed quite ceremonial.
"So, the store we just looked at is the address of our future piano store?" Tang Chao looked at the surrounding environment again, focusing on patrolling around the store. What, have you seen it? Can it be the same? One hundred thousand yuan.
!!!
"It may be that we are only making alternatives at the moment. I need to go back and analyze and consider it completely... Oh, that's my business." Perhaps because of Tang Chao's actions just now, Xie Wei's expression looked much more cheerful and lively, and she smiled.
He took the tablet from the back seat and said, "We will go to another store later, the last one, Guangyang Road."
"Okay." Tang Chao fastened his seat belt and was about to set off when he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but pause. Xie Wei also saw it, looking straight ahead and frowning slightly.
It was a fork in the lane. It wasn't lunch time yet, but it was almost time to prepare dinner, so there weren't many people strolling around on the street, but a thin circle of onlookers quickly gathered there, and it seemed like
There were several people lying down. From the angle of the Mercedes-Benz, one could clearly see a burly man in black, sitting on the ground with half of his face stained with blood. He looked quite scary and pitiful, crying faintly,
Loud shouts carried by the wind,
"Look, everyone, come and see..."
"I came to negotiate with good intentions and let them move into a modern apartment and enjoy the scenery of a high-rise building... To put it at a step back, if you don't want to move, then you won't move. Why are you beating them? What a beating this has made on my colleagues! Everyone.
Take a look, comrade journalists, take a look too, murders committed in broad daylight..."
"Call the police! You must call the police! If you don't report it, I will report it to you...Where is the child? Go away quickly, don't splatter you with blood..."
…
It sounds like a demolition dispute, which is nothing unusual. The subway in Lingjiang has been under construction. The demolition and new construction projects in the districts along the way have not stopped. It is estimated that they will not stop for a long time. It is normal for such conflicts and disputes to arise.
but.
The reason why the two people in Tang Dynasty stopped and paid attention was because the young man in the crowd who rolled up the cuffs of his white shirt, pointed at the big man in black on the ground, and shouted loudly that he looked like a white-collar worker, was Tang Rong, Tang Dou's cousin.
At this time, he was squatting in front of a child who had just finished school with a schoolbag on his back. He was holding a lollipop in his hand and saying something pleasantly. However, the child ignored him, slapped the lollipop away, turned around and fell to the ground holding the same child.
A figure could not be clearly seen whether it was a boy or a girl, it must be his parents, crying loudly.
Tang Rong seemed not to have expected this scene to happen. He stood up with his knees up, looking a little embarrassed. But then he pointed at the child and continued talking. At the same time, he motioned to two men who looked like reporters holding cameras and pointed at the ferocious man in black.
Horrible bloody face...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The excitement did not last long. A few minutes later, an ambulance drove over. Several doctors and nurses got out, holding stretchers, and carried the injured man into the car. Reporters followed.
Continuous shooting, flash flashes intensively.
Finally, he spoke to the onlookers, showed a wooden stick in his hand that must have been a broken chair leg, and carefully put it into a plastic bag. Tang Rong separated from the crowd and walked out, a group of four or five people.
"... If you don't want to move? Then you'll have to wait for a lawsuit to pay for the medical expenses. There are photos of the scene and evidence, and the public opinion will crush him to death! Diao Min... remember to call Ahai at night to remind him to ask him
Just lie down quietly in the hospital. There will be reporters there tomorrow. Just follow what I taught him... It shouldn't be necessary. One more trip to this household will be enough... By the way, I'll let you collect information first, and the troops and horses have not used food and grass.
Don’t you understand the principle of moving first? Where did that kid get out of here? Damn, he stepped on my leather shoes and soiled them!"
"Brother Rong is a bull!"
"After all, those who have read books are different from us rough guys. Reporters can do whatever they want."
"Yeah, we used to have no water or electricity, so he had to sneak over at night to scare him. It's not like now, haha, he has to beg us to let him move!"
"Times have changed. The practice of fighting and killing has long been outdated. You must learn to use your brain and do not leave any excuses."
"We can't learn, we can't learn, our education level is too low... Hey, Brother Rong, what's wrong with you?"
On the roadside, Tang Rong suddenly stopped under a streetlight and stared blankly through his fellow burly men, looking at the black Mercedes-Benz a few steps away.
"Let's go!" In the car, Xie Wei, who was as cold as ice, raised the window and blocked the view, saying in a cold voice.
Tang Chao silently started the car and left the roadside. His eyes passed over the lost figure in the rearview mirror. He shook his head slightly, thinking that you looked like you were doing something, but I didn't expect that you were so good at doing things...
