Autumn passes and winter comes.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been serialized to the point where Guo Jing and Huang Rong are recovering from their injuries in the secret room of Niujia Village. Dongxie, Xidu, Quanzhen Seven Sons, Prince Zhao's Mansion and many other forces take turns to appear. It is extremely lively and has constant climaxes, attracting more and more readers to appreciate.
Because of this, major publishing houses also saw the value of this book and paid heavily to purchase the copyright. Finally, Xiang Nan handed the work to the Commercial Press.
Founded in 1897, the Commercial Press is the oldest publishing institution in China's publishing industry and is well-known in the industry. Well-known writers such as Lu Xun, Ba Jin, Lao She, and Bing Xin have all collaborated with it.
The so-called name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Xiang Nan is naturally willing to cooperate with such a time-honored brand to avoid any unpleasantness in the future.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was immediately published in volume. The first volume sold nearly 100,000 copies and was quite popular. Xiang Nan also earned more than 2,000 yuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that with this money, I can buy a villa in Hujiang. However, Xiang Nan did not buy a house, but continued to rent a house.
Because he had no intention of living in Hujiang for a long time.
He considered going to France to study with Feng Chengcheng after meeting her. Then go to Canada to escape World War II, and then consider where to go after World War II is over.
…
At this time, Xiang Nan received news from Fang Yanyun that a Frenchman was acquiring land in Huide. He knew the time was almost here.
Xiang Nan then often appeared around Yulon Textile Factory. He knew that Yulong Textile Factory was Chen Lianshan's industry.
The French want to acquire the factories here and convert them into commercial buildings and residences. Anyone who knows the business knows how huge the profits are.
But Chen Lianshan was a tough guy and refused to buy into the French guy's account. So the French asked Feng Jingyao to take action and used coercion and intimidation to force Chen Lianshan to sell the factory.
As a result, Chen Lianshan was still not afraid, so Feng Jingyao sent out thugs and even killers to prepare to kill Chen Lianshan. In this case, he would not be able to sell it even if he wanted to.
It can also be seen from this that Feng Jingyao is cruel and lawless.
In the play, the day after Chen Lianshan was beaten, his son Chen Hanlin and Feng Chengcheng returned to Hujiang from Peking. Feng Chengcheng and Chen Hanlin were an ambiguous couple in middle school, and they always went out together.
When Chen Hanlin returns to Hujiang, Feng Chengcheng will naturally come back. In other words, Feng Chengcheng wanted to return to Hujiang, so Chen Hanlin was naturally willing to be the messenger.
In the play, the two are even talking about meeting their parents. But no matter what, they would never have thought that Feng Chengcheng's father would send a killer to assassinate Chen Hanlin's father, Chen Lianshan, at the station.
…
Xiang Nan stayed at Yulong Textile Factory just to confirm when Chen Lianshan was beaten.
Sure enough that day, after seeing Chen Lianshan coming out of the factory alone, Xiang Nan noticed three people behind him and followed him furtively.
One of them is Feng Jingyao's most trusted subordinate-Uncle Xiang.
I saw Uncle Xiang making a gesture to the two young men beside him, and they immediately followed Chen Lianshan.
When Chen Lianshan walked into a secluded alley with no one around, the two young men suddenly attacked him.
He was knocked to the ground with one punch, followed by punches and kicks.
Xiang Nan originally wanted to ignore it, but when he saw an old man in his fifties being beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he kept moaning, he couldn't stand still.
He immediately jumped off the room and pushed the two of them away, "Are you ashamed of beating an old man in broad daylight?"
"Boy, it's none of your business. Get out of here." Seeing that Xiang Nan was alone and that he looked like a student, the two men immediately said with a ferocious smile.
Gu Quan
"What if I don't?" Xiang Nan sneered when he saw this.
"Then I will send you to the west." The two of them took out daggers from their waists and rushed towards Xiang Nan.
There are people killed and injured every day in Hujiang, and the patrol room can't even ask questions. Therefore, these gangsters are emboldened and want to kill people at every turn.
"Young man, leave quickly and leave me alone." Chen Lianshan saw this and said quickly.
It's enough for him to die alone, and he really doesn't want to involve others.
Xiang Nan smiled, swayed, and dodged the dagger. Then he grabbed the dagger with his bare hands and grabbed it. Then they were slapped twice, making the two of them dizzy, with stars in their eyes, and almost unable to stand still.
The two of them knew that they were going to have a hard time, and they didn't dare to argue anymore, so they immediately ran away.
Xiang Nan then helped Chen Lianshan up, "Old man, are you okay?"
"Thank you very much, young man. These days, there are really too few young people like you who are willing to help when there is an uneven road." Chen Lianshan said gratefully, "What is your name? I want to thank you very much."
"You're welcome, it's just a piece of cake." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Old man, you have to be more careful in the future. It's better to bring two people with you when you go out. Because those two gangsters have been targeting you long ago."
"Yes, I understand." Chen Lianshan nodded.
His factory was rioted by hooligans two days ago. Not only were the workers beaten, but even the gauze they produced was splashed with pig blood. Now, even when he was walking on the road, he was beaten by someone, and it was obvious who did it.
Xiang Nan helped Chen Lianshan onto the street and called a rickshaw for him, and then the two parted ways.
Chen Lianshan wanted to ask Xiang Nan's name several times, but Xiang Nan didn't tell him. He didn't want to be too showy, nor did he want to be hated by Feng Jingyao.
The rescue this time was just an accident.
Chen Lianshan felt that he was showing kindness without expecting repayment, so his impression of him was naturally better.
…
Soon, Xiang Nan came to Hujiang Railway Station and waited for Feng Chengcheng to leave the station.
"Hey, friend, it's you again, do you remember me?" At this time, Ding Li, who was still selling pears at the station, greeted Xiang Nan warmly after seeing him.
"Is it you, my friend, still selling pears here?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile when he saw him.
"What else can a person like me do if he doesn't sell pears?" Ding Li curled his lips and said, "It's you, but it's different. I almost didn't recognize you."
A few months ago, when he first met Xiang Nan, although Xiang Nan was generous, his clothes were very shabby. Wearing a blue gown and a white scarf, he looks like a poor student.
But now Xiang Nan is dressed in a civilized suit and leather shoes, and his leather shoes are so bright that they can be used as mirrors. The pocket watch chain on his chest is obviously gold. Everything about him smells like a wealthy person.
"As long as you work hard, there will always be a chance." Xiang Nan patted him on the shoulder, then bought two kilograms of Laiyang pears and ate while waiting.
After a while, a group of people walked into the station.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a robe and mandarin jacket, holding a mutton-fat jade cigarette holder. At first glance, he looked like a very majestic and elegant boss.
Around him were three or four gorgeously dressed, voluptuous women. Yan Shimei walked and chattered, guessing it was an aunt or something.
Outside were several young and strong bodyguards with bulging bags on their waists, and they looked like they had guns stuck in them.
