At this moment, a burst of applause sounded loudly.
Looking back, he saw a tall, thin and bearded man wearing official uniform and a goatee, striding towards him.
When everyone saw it, they quickly bowed and said: "See you, Lord Commander."
"Okay, you all get up."
He looked at Xiao Chen with a smile, "The revision suggestions you just put forward are very good. Where do you learn from them?"
Hearing this, the others were confused. Don't they know each other?
The foreman next to him asked tremblingly: "Sir, isn't this the person you invited to teach us how to build a ship?"
He invited it himself and didn’t he know?
Du Wei smiled and said: "I didn't invite you. I'm afraid you won't come in person."
Could it be that he had finally come up with a favorable plan, and yet he was so unkind enough to expose him?
Xiao Chen was slightly depressed and touched his nose with a guilty conscience: "Um, Master Du Wei, don't you recognize me? It's me!"
He directly stepped forward and put his arms around Du Wei's shoulders. He had already come this far, and it would be impossible if he didn't get close.
Surprisingly, Du Wei was particularly cooperative with him: "Hahaha, I remembered, it's Mr. Xiao who is in charge of the East Factory!"
Xiao Chen was confused, did he know him?
The two of them were taken to the living room by Du Wei.
Du Wei brought up two cups of tea, "It's hard work for you two coming all the way. Please drink some tea to relieve your fatigue."
The old man didn't expect to be so considerate. As soon as Xiao Chen picked up the tea cup, he found a trace of white powder on the edge of the cup.
There's something wrong with this water!
Seeing Ji Hongluan next to him about to drink, he quickly took the tea cup and said, "Stop drinking, we are not thirsty."
As he spoke, his expression became much colder.
I thought this guy was a kind and hospitable person, but he turned out to be a smiling tiger with ulterior motives.
Ji Hongluan didn't know why, "What's wrong? I'm going to die of thirst after running all the way. Let me take a few sips."
She reached out to take back the teacup, but Xiao Chen warned her with a swishing sound: "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The hanging hand froze in the air, Ji Hongluan's face was full of disbelief: "What do you mean, is this tea poisonous?"
"Is it true? Doesn't Lord Du Wei know it well?"
Xiao Chen slammed the tea cup on the table, and the tea splashed all over his hand.
Du Wei was a little helpless: "I originally wanted to deal with you, this lackey, quietly, but I didn't expect you to be so vigilant."
"As expected, a stupid dog is easy to control, but a smart dog is still a bit tricky."
"Since you don't eat the toast and get the fine wine, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
They have already been poisoned, how ruthless can he be?
After hearing Du Wei's order, many people rushed in and immediately surrounded them.
One second they were chatting and laughing, and the next moment they were fighting. There was something wrong with this scene.
Ji Hongluan was dumbfounded, "What on earth is going on?"
He couldn't help but look at Du Wei angrily, "How have we offended you? We should treat each other like this!"
Du Wei waved his sleeves and was not polite.
"Xiao Chen, are you not clear about the dirty things you did for Sister Chen?"
"Forcibly confiscated land, forcibly collected taxes, and destroyed the imperial mausoleums of the previous dynasty..."
"You said everything, but Pontus Wei has wronged you!"
"A shameless person like you who is an unkind official and is only willing to become someone else's lackey. If you die here, you will be considered as an official eliminating harm for all people!"
Co-authorship is another misunderstanding.
Knowing that those things would be criticized by many people, Chen Jin pushed him out as a shield, but he didn't expect that the impact would be huge.
"How dare you laugh when you are about to die?"
"I originally wanted you to get away, but you insisted on barging in and dying!"
"Even if you lose this identity, I will definitely kill you."
Seeing how he hates evil so much, to be honest, Xiao Chen still admires him.
In today's world, corrupt officials are often able to withstand the temptation of profit and coercion, but there are very few honest officials who are not afraid of life and death.
It was an honor for me to get to know him in a remote place.
Xiao Chen puffed out his chest: "I don't deny what I have done, but you have to understand the purpose of my coming here today."
"Purpose?"
Du Wei sneered, "I heard that you used your identity to make money everywhere in the capital, and various powerful and aristocratic families were vying to curry favor with you."
"Even if you go to other places, you still can't change your mind. Are you trying to get some benefits by visiting me? But you really made the wrong calculation. Fuzhou Shipyard has never been a wealthy place!"
Xiao Chen nodded and measured the old official uniform he was wearing: "Well, it can be seen that he is indeed not very wealthy."
"However, I want to clarify two points. First of all, I am not here to reap benefits. Secondly, I am here specifically to find you to buy a ship in order to lead an army to eliminate the Japanese."
"This is also the purpose of my trip south this time, isn't it?"
He had heard of this.
But I never thought that Xiao Chen could really do practical things, which was really unbelievable.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but the number of people he brings is less than a thousand. Even if he is enjoying himself here and escaping from the war, he will still have an excuse to do business when he returns.
Why do you have to confront those ferocious Japanese people? Isn't this risking your life with them?
According to his understanding of Xiao Chen, it is impossible for him to do such a thing!
Xiao Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked forward step by step.
Du Wei hurriedly scolded: "Don't move, otherwise I will immediately order you to be killed!"
Xiao Chen looked at him: "Hongluan!"
Ji Hongluan understood what he was doing, and with a gorgeous turn, he beat those people to the ground with his bare hands and cried violently.
"With your little strength, you still want to deal with us. It's all in vain."
They are just a group of people building ships, not a training posture, and it is indeed not difficult to deal with them.
It would be too exaggerated for a woman like Coco to deal with more than a dozen of his men with bare hands!
Du Wei was dumbfounded. He was about to call someone again, but Xiao Chen stepped forward quickly: "She can hit me, and so can I. If you call someone again, the dagger in my hand will slit your throat."
Even if you can't see the shining knife, you can still feel the sharp edge pressing against your neck.
"I'm not here to cause trouble. I really want to buy a boat with you. If you are willing to listen to what I have to say, I won't embarrass you. If you don't want to, then let's just spend it like this."
Xiao Chen put back the knife and sat down on his butt, raising his legs.
Du Wei just stared at him angrily: "Xiao Chen, what do you want? My Fuzhou Shipyard has no benefits for you!"
"If you really want to take it, just take those ships away!"
Xiao Chen snorted softly: "Who wants your nondescript broken boats? They are useless."
"How dare you insult my ship!"
Du Wei clenched her fists tightly: "That is a masterpiece that I personally designed and am proud of throughout my life!"
