Three hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount for Zhou Sen. If it comes to cash, it is not impossible for him to come up with it.
At home, the banknotes, gold bars, and bank deposits in the safe in Anthony's study must be converted into full coins. There must be this amount.
If you count the equity, bonds, securities, etc. of Anthony's company, it will naturally far exceed this number.
These things are worthless now in their own hands, once the news of Anthony's father's death comes out.
Then these things are useless even if they are in his own hands, and there is still Ivanovich eyeing him.
Otherwise, take this opportunity to revitalize this asset?
"I want to see Bai Yulan." Zhou Sen would not just slap his head and decide to lend the money out. It was a large amount of money, and one night's sleep was not worth it.
"You want to see Sister Lan?" Axiang said with wide eyes.
"Of course, can a little girl like you decide such a big thing?" Zhou Sen smiled, "Still, you dare to take back three hundred thousand yuan by yourself, how can you explain to her where the money comes from? "
"I……"
Axiang was speechless when she was asked the question.
"You said you are just a little girl, why do you worry about your boss's affairs? Could it be that you are her daughter?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Sister Lan is ten years older than me. How can she be my mother?" Axiang retorted loudly.
"That's true, then why are you so concerned about it?" Zhou Sen chuckled, scratched his head and asked.
"Sister Lan treats me like a real sister. If something happens to her, a little girl like me will not have a good life. Of course I will try my best to help Sister Lan." Axiang explained.
"You girl, you know how to repay kindness."
"Master Zhou, although I am young, I understand a lot of truth." Ah Xiang said.
"Then tell me, I'm not close to Bai Yulan, why did you come to ask me for help?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Sister Lan has already found everyone she can find. Everyone knows the dirty thoughts of those people, but I can only find you." Axiang thought for a moment and said.
"Don't you think I don't have that kind of dirty thoughts?" Zhou Sen asked curiously. After all, his relationship with Bai Yulan is somewhat special. He is also a man, and his reputation doesn't seem to be very good.
"If you had such thoughts, you would have publicized your relationship with Sister Lan to the world long ago." Axiang said.
"Maybe I'm using this as a threat?" Zhou Sen chuckled.
Axiang's face froze and she didn't know how to answer.
"You've been out for so long. Bai Yulan is already very anxious. Let's go back together." Zhou Sen stopped teasing her and stood up.
"Wu En, you stay in the warehouse. If Lao Liu comes back and I haven't come back yet, let him go back first and you go back too. If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Yes, brother." Wu En nodded. Ye San'er was not here, and there was Susanna over there at the hotel. Someone needed to stay.
…
In the Kawara dojo, four Japanese ronin warriors woke up one by one. They were also wondering why they woke up in their own dojo after being knocked unconscious.
The four people were immediately called to Kawara Shingoro.
After listening to the explanations of the four people, Kawara Shingoro was furious: "Baga, the four of you were obviously drunk on the roadside, and you were still talking nonsense about whether you were knocked unconscious or by someone. Do you think I was?" Fool?"
The four of them knelt down in front of Shingoro Kawara, not daring to take a breath. Obviously, they got the wrong script.
"I already understand this matter clearly. The four of you are usually lazy and think about the past!" Shingoro Kawara yelled angrily. Of course he believed in his senior brother more. What's more, a Manchu policeman beat four Japanese samurai. He It sounds like a fantasy!
The four ronin warriors were extremely aggrieved. Even though they were beaten, they still had to be punished. How could this be justified?
…
"Miss Axiang, what color does Yu Lan like and what are her hobbies?" Zhou Sen called a carriage and went to Huifangli outside the road with Axiang.
Axiang glanced at Zhou Sen with a strange expression. Is it possible that Master Zhou really likes his boss and wants to pursue him?
However, Bai Yulan had already said that she didn't like Zhou Sen.
As for Zhou Sen's question, Axiang didn't know how to answer it. If he said it, it would be tantamount to betraying Bai Yulan. If he didn't say it, the only person who could save the Ningxiang Pavilion from the fire and water and could help Bai Yulan was Zhou Sen, a wealthy family. Young Master.
"Sister Lan likes white, but she usually wears black and purple. What she likes to eat the most is Lao Dingfeng's pastries..." Axiang finally spoke.
"At this time, it's too late to go to Laodingfeng to buy pastries and then rush back to Ningxiang Pavilion. Next time, I won't bring anything to the door today." Zhou Sen said to himself.
After hearing this, Axiang glanced at him strangely. Bai Yulan seemed to never eat what others bought for her.
Whoever sent it, she would either give it to her subordinates or throw it away.
The Ningxiang Pavilion has been closed and temporarily suspended. Naturally, you can't go through the front door, so you can only enter through the back door. Zhou Sen doesn't mind anyway.
This isn't the first time I've used the back door.
Not knowing when he would be able to come out, Zhou Sen paid the fare directly and asked the driver to drive the carriage and leave first.
In his impression, at night, when the lanterns first come on, the Ningxiang Pavilion is the busiest. Even if it is freezing and snowy outside, the lights are brightly lit and people are buzzing inside.
But now, what he saw was a cold, lifeless large house with intricate carvings and antique charm, but only a few rooms still had lights on.
The Ningxiang Pavilion suddenly closed down. This not only surprised Zhou Sen, but many people found it incredible. Although the business of the Ningxiang Pavilion continued to decline, it was not to the point where it could no longer continue.
Moreover, the New Year is approaching, which is the time when the customer flow is the largest. Closing business at this time is equivalent to pushing money outward.
Bai Yulan can be so cruel as to temporarily close the Ningxiang Pavilion, which is enough to show that the obstacles she is facing are really big.
Bai Yulan usually lives in Ningxiang Pavilion, and she regards Ningxiang Pavilion as her own home.
Of course, she lives in the best room in the Ningxiang Pavilion and the highest attic. Standing on the attic, she can overlook the entire Ningxiang Pavilion.
This building that emphasizes pavilions, terraces, buildings, and courtyards covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, with courtyards, attics, and a large performance hall.
In Huifangli, Ningxiang Pavilion is in the best location, with the busiest street directly opposite the door.
This turned out to be a guild hall. After Bai Yulan's dead husband, Lao Ma, bought it, he also bought nearby private houses, knocked them down, renovated and expanded them, and finally formed the scale it has today.
When the Ningxiang Pavilion is at its largest, it can accommodate thousands of people, and the number of girls can be as many as hundreds, if you include Mr. Turtle, maids, Xiao Si, musicians, and chefs.
The entire Ningxiang Pavilion feeds four to five hundred people.
And now, the entire Ningxiang Pavilion, including cats and dogs, does not exceed a hundred.
"Axiang, Boss Bai has been looking for you all afternoon. Where have you been?" A middle-aged woman wearing a crimson double-breasted skirt, a white cloak, and holding a heater in her hand stopped Zhou Sen and Axiang. the way to go.
"Sister Yan."
Zhou Sen naturally knew that the half-old woman in front of him was the manager of the Ningxiang Pavilion, commonly known as the Madam: Sister Yan.
Usually Bai Yulan is not seen at all. Unless there are guests of sufficient status, she will come out to socialize. Most of the time, it is Sister Yan who comes out to host and greet the guests.
"This is Officer Zhou from Nangang Police Station. Our Ningxiang Restaurant is closed to the public today. What are you doing here?" Sister Yan frowned slightly when she saw Zhou Sen and asked.
"Oh, Sister Yan, I lost a lighter when I was drinking at Ningxiang Pavilion last time. I happened to meet Miss Axiang today. She said she picked it up, so I came with her to get it." Zhou Sen explained with a chuckle.
"A lighter, just let Axiang find time to send it to you. Do you also want you to come and pick it up in person?"
"I came here to do things smoothly, so I won't bother Miss Axiang." Zhou Sen said with a smile.
"Oh, that's it, you're neglecting me!" Sister Yan glanced at Axiang and walked past them.
"Master Zhou, why did you lie to Sister Yan just now?"
"Lying, where did I lie?" Zhou Sen chuckled, not even admitting what he had just said.
Axiang rolled her eyes and was about to retort, but when she thought about it, she didn't say anything about anything now, so she really couldn't leak the news yet.
"Sister Lan..."
"Damn girl, where did you go all afternoon? Do you know how worried I am about you?" Bai Yulan rushed over in a loose long nightgown, angry and angry, somewhat regardless of her own image.
Bai Yulan looks like this, which many men would never have the chance to see.
"Zhou Sen, why are you here?" Bai Yulan was shocked when their eyes suddenly met, and then she asked with wide eyes.
"Miss Axiang said that you are in some trouble, let me come and help you!" Zhou Sen chuckled. It's beautiful when a beauty is angry. Of course, you also have to see how the person is feeling.
"Ashanti?!"
"Ah, Sister Lan, I'll go to the kitchen to see what's for dinner..." Axiang also knew that if she stayed, she would definitely not end well, so she might as well stay away for a while to protect herself.
"It's not good to talk like this. How about we go in and talk?" Zhou Sen pointed his hand towards the room. If anyone saw him, the gossip would be unpleasant.
Bai Yulan frowned slightly. Although she didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Sen anymore, people were standing at the door. If she didn't let him in, it seemed like she would be too unreasonable.
"come in."
Zhou Sen nodded and followed Bai Yulan into the house.
In a familiar room, Zhou Sen walked straight to the sofa and sat down, and Bai Yulan finally sat down in front of him.
"I don't care what Axiang said to you, my business has nothing to do with you." Bai Yulan took the cigarette case on the coffee table, took out a cigarette, and said between the index and middle fingers of her right hand.
"You dare to say that that night had nothing to do with you?" Zhou Sen didn't regard himself as an outsider. He smoked a cigarette from the cigarette case without lighting it and asked.
"what do you want?"
"You were tricked into pulling me in, and you said you have nothing to do with me?" Zhou Sen said, "Or, among the guests that night, I was the only one you liked."
"Zhou Sen, what do you want to do?" Bai Yulan's voice became sharp, and it was obvious that she had reached the point where she could not bear it.
"You want to keep the Ningxiang Pavilion, control your own destiny, and don't want to become someone else's plaything. But you are a woman, a young and beautiful woman with huge wealth. In this troubled world, she is like a huge piece of Everyone wants to swallow you up. You have no backing. Those who are willing to be your backing are all cannibals. You want to have both sides, but the jackals have joined forces and they want to force you into a desperate situation. , and then wait until you give up all resistance, and then decide how to divide the meat, am I right?" Zhou Sen looked at Bai Yulan and said slowly, all this was because he got relevant information from Axiang's mouth, and then based on Drawn from my own analysis and reasoning.
Bai Yulan seemed a little touched, and said with a sad smile: "Even so, how can you, a promiscuous rich man, help me? Can you fight against those jackals?"
"I am also a wolf, but I am a male wolf and you are a female wolf. We don't have a pack, we are lone wolves, only ourselves. Then if we join forces, we can naturally overcome the difficulties in front of us. Of course, I The situation is better than yours, at least, I am not their target at the moment."
"Master Zhou, you have a bigger appetite than those people, and you are even more shameless!" Bai Yulan stood up and yelled angrily, "Get out of here and get out of here right now!"
"I will invest 300,000 yuan to invest in Ningxiang Pavilion. As long as I own 10% of the shares of Ningxiang Pavilion, you will continue to control Ningxiang Pavilion. I will not interfere with any operations of Ningxiang Pavilion. What do you want to turn Ningxiang Pavilion into? I don't care, there is only one condition, don't give up your original ideal!" Zhou Sen stood up and said, "If you don't object, I will treat it as your agreement."
"Zhou Sen, what do you mean, just because I slept with you one night, you have to help me, am I that kind of despicable woman?" Bai Yulan asked.
Zhou Sen stared at Bai Yulan, walked over step by step, leaned down, his eyes and nose were so close that he could hear the other person's heartbeat.
"If you don't mind, I can sleep a few more nights."
"You, bastard..." Bai Yulan was furious, being teased again.
