When the box was opened, it was full of money notes. It was such a thick stack that Xiao Chongwen and the other four people at the table could hardly turn their eyes. The money in this box was already as much as they would have spent in less than half a year when they had plenty of money.
It's an expense. It's a lot of money.
No one has trouble with money, but Xiao Chongwen and the four of them still understand what money should be taken, what money should not be taken, or whether there will be any trouble after taking it. They are not green-skinned bastards, they have all been in it.
Those who have studied in the school also have some family business in Langyuan City, and they belong to the so-called "upper-class families".
But the four of them were all concubines, and they didn’t have to rely on their family fortunes, so they could just live their lives until they were old. As a result, they were all stinky and wandered around like dandies. It was precisely because they were in the dandy circle in Langyuan City that they
Met Wu Qingling.
Who is Wu Qingling? Is his money so easy to get?
In the eyes of Xiao Chongwen and others, this Wu Qingling is a moody master, shady and merciless. They used to like to go to Wu Qingling's money stall to play, and they had done a big thing with Wu Qingling.
So they borrowed a lot of notes and refused to pay them back. As a result, they were almost picked out by debt collectors and had to gouge out a pair of eyes to pay off the debt. From then on, the four of them knew their identities. They no longer dared to say "I am the second master's son"
"I've come to live on my own.
Even when Wu Qingling invited them to have a drink this time, they were quite uneasy. Not to mention that he directly put a large sum of money in front of them after a few words. There was definitely something for them to do.
Just like more than two years ago.
The four of us, Xiao Chongwen, each looked at each other, and Xiao Chongwen was the one who spoke. He said, "Young Master Wu, you are too flattering. The four of us are idle and have no ability, so we dare not take your money."
"Hahaha, skill? Don't you like making friends the most? What is this skill? Do you still remember the two shops that you helped to build more than two years ago? Now the business is booming, but it all depends on the help of the four of you.
Just have it. This little money is nothing, just take it and use it!" Wu Qingling said as she pushed the box hard and slid it in front of Xiao Chongwen.
Seeing that Xiao Chongwen still didn't pick up the box, Wu Qingling's face suddenly turned cold and she said in a deep voice, "What? Are you having an affair with me? Or do you think my money is dirty on your hands?"
"No, no, no! What did Mr. Wu say? It's just that the money was too much. I was confused and stunned for a moment. Haha, I was stunned." No matter how miserable Xiao Chongwen was, he could only hold it in, but he still had a smile on his face.
With a flattering look on his face, he hurriedly took out the money tickets from the box, quickly divided them into four parts, and each person put one part in his pocket.
Seeing Xiao Chongwen collecting the money so neatly, the smile on Wu Qingling's face returned. She laughed and pointed at Xiao Chongwen, and then said: "You, you, I thought you looked down on me, Wu Qingling! It turned out that
We are still friends enough! Remember, these are just small coins this time. They are for you to play in the venue. They are nothing. When you use them later, just come to me and ask for them.
But I came to you today to ask about something else. Your friend Zhang Yan has returned from Yubei Mountain, do you know about this?"
Xiao Chongwen and others secretly said in their hearts: Here we come!
"Ah? Zhang Yan is back?" Xiao Chongwen and others were stunned when they heard this.
"You don't know? Just this morning, Zhang Yan came back to Langyuan City. As his friends, aren't you going to visit him and reminisce about old times?"
When Xiao Chongwen and others heard this, their expressions froze. They did not dare to visit Zhang's house. But how should they tell Wu Qingling about this?
Wu Qingling was keenly aware of the changes in the expressions on the faces of the four people across from him, but how could he not know the good things these four people had done? He was asking this deliberately. So he continued: "What? Are you still afraid that Zhou Cang will find you?
Is it troublesome?"
"Hey, Mr. Wu, you, you know everything?"
Wu Qingling poured herself a glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, and said with a smile: "This matter has been spread all over the mouths of those untouchables in Zhuzui Alley, who do you expect not to know? Besides, it concerns Zhou Cang, a man with a knife.
If you are a fool, it will naturally spread faster.
But it’s true that you guys even dare to fight against the idea of the military field. Do you think that the people in the army have no brains and are easy to bully?"
"Master Wu, we have nothing to do. Let's give it a try. We don't really want to use the military fields, but we just want them to sell the fields and we can get some benefits from it. You also know that the military fields are our Langyuan.
As long as there are sellers, there will be plenty of buyers for the best prime farmland here.
But who would have thought that the Zhang family was stubborn and refused to sell, and in the end it happened to fall into Master Zhou's hands. There was nothing that could be done about it, and it was a joke for you, Mr. Wu."
This incident is a joke among the dandy circles in Langyuan City, but few people have mentioned it after such a long time. But it does not mean that everyone has forgotten it.
Xiao Chongwen and the others didn't want to take advantage of the Zhang family's two military fields. They didn't have the courage. They just hoped to encourage the Zhang family to sell their fields so that they could get some benefits from it. But they were so lucky that they happened to collide with each other.
Zhou Cang, who had just taken office not long ago, was not only beaten with a bruised nose and face, but also was asked to find his way to the house. As a result, each family gave him a beating.
Wu Qingling said with a smile: "I'm not in the mood to see your jokes, I'm just sweating it for you. When Zhang Yan came back from Yubei Mountain, his temperament was said to have changed drastically. He was no longer as stupid as before, and he also had a lot more thoughts.
, it’s not easy to deal with him. If you don’t mention what happened with him before, but you later go after his family, do you think he will take advantage of Zhou Cang’s influence to deal with you?”
"Ah? Mr. Wu, isn't this possible? Even if Zhang Yan is lucky in the military, he can't rely on Mr. Zhou as his backer, right?"
"Don't tell me that you don't know Zhou Cang's reputation in Langyuan City in the past two years. Why should a smelly and tough person help Zhang Yan? It doesn't matter. If it were you, you could help for no reason.
?”
"This..." Xiao Chongwen and others also looked ugly. Zhou Cang has not been in Langyuan City for a long time, but he has a good reputation. That is, he is a master who does not get in, and no one can think of him.
The only private matter in Langyuan City that made Zhou Cang take the initiative was Zhang Yan's. It's hard to tell whether Zhang Yan really relied on Zhou Cang's big tree.
Wu Qingling waved her hands loyally and said seriously: "But don't worry, although Zhou Cang is great, there is no one in Langyuan City who can check and balance. My old man is not a vegetarian. You are my Wu Qingling's brothers.
Naturally, I won't let you suffer.
But... you all know what happened to Zhang Yan, and his return will be a hidden danger after all. Now that you include Zhou Cang, the variables are really hard to predict.
In my opinion, if you don’t want to worry about it all day long, you still have to do something, and it’s best for us to completely solve this hidden danger together.”
