When the box was opened, it was full of money notes. The thick stack made Xiao Chongwen and the other four people at the table almost unable to move their eyes. The money in this box is enough to cover their expenses for half a year when they usually have plenty of money. It's a lot of money.
No one has trouble with money, but Xiao Chongwen and the others 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 gone to school and studied. Their families also have some family business in Langyuan City, and they belong to the so-called "upper-class families".
However, the four of them were all concubines, and they had no hope for the family fortune, so they could just live their lives until they were old. As a result, they were full of bad habits and wandered around like playboys. It was precisely because they were in the dandy circle of 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, Wu Qingling was a moody master, shady and merciless. They used to like to go to Wu Qingling's money stall to play. Because they had done a big thing with Wu Qingling, they borrowed a lot of notes and refused to pay them back. As a result, they almost had their eyes gouged out by the debt collectors. After paying off the debt, the four of them knew their identities. I no longer dare to claim that "I am the second master's son".
Even when Wu Qingling invited them to have a drink this time, they felt quite uneasy. Not to mention putting a large amount of money in front of them after just a few words. There is definitely something for them to do, just like it was more than two years ago.
The four of us, Xiao Chongwen, each looked at each other, and Xiao Chongwen 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 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 felt, 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 put one part in each person's 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! Remember, these are just small coins this time. They are just for you to play in the venue. They are nothing. When you use them in the future, just come to me and ask for them.
But I came to see you today because I have something else I want to ask. 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 returned to Langyuan City. As his friends, aren't you going to visit him and reminisce about old times?"
Xiao Chongwen and others' faces froze when they heard this. They did not dare to visit the Zhang family. But how should I tell Wu Qingling about this?
Wu Qingling was keenly aware of the changes in the expressions on the faces of the four people opposite him, but how could he not know the good deeds of these four people? It is intentional to ask this question. So he continued: "What? Are you still afraid that Zhou Cang will cause trouble for you?"
"Hey, Mr. Wu, you, you know everything?"
Wu Qingling poured herself a glass of wine, drank it down in one sip, and said with a smile: "This matter has been spread all over the mouths of the 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 of you that you 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. In the end, it happened to fall into the hands of Mr. Zhou. "
This incident was a joke among the dandy circles in Langyuan City, but few people mentioned it after such a long time. But that doesn't mean they've all been forgotten.
Xiao Chongwen and the others did not want to seize the Zhang family's two military fields. They did not have the courage. They just hoped to encourage the Zhang family to sell the fields so that they could get some benefits from it. However, they managed to escape death just in the hands of Zhou Cang, who had just taken office two years ago. Not only was he beaten with a black nose and swollen face, he was also asked to find his way to the house, but each family gave them another beating.
Wu Qingling said with a smile: "I'm not in the mood to see your jokes, I'm just worried about 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. You didn’t mention what happened with him before, but you later went to attack his family. Do you think he will take advantage of Zhou Cang’s power to deal with you? "
"Ah? Mr. Wu, isn't this possible? Even if Zhang Yan is lucky in the army, 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. So 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 his reputation is well-known. That is a master who has no access to oil or salt. No one can try to get close to him. The only private matter in Langyuan City that Zhou Cang took the initiative to take part in was Zhang Yan's. It's hard to tell whether Zhang Yan really relied on the big tree of Zhou Cang.
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 a loss.
But... you all know what happened to Zhang Yan, and his return will be a hidden danger after all. Now counting Zhou Cang, the variables are really hard to say.
In my opinion, if you don't want to be worried all day long, you still have to do your best. The best way is to completely solve this hidden danger together. "
