Chapter 6 Another Movie Role
Chapter 6 Another Movie Role
Hua Laojiu, who was sitting at the next tea table, glanced at Tan Wenjie and asked, "Mr. Tan, are you in need of a driver?"
Zhang Dabing can't drive a car, but he can.
"No shortage."
Tan Wenjie shook his head. He had already asked people to wait by the side. No matter whether Zhang Dabing took the initiative or was passive today, he had to send him back to catch the adulterer.
With Master Liu and Boss Tan's work style, their first thought when something goes wrong is to ask a Taoist for help. This is a habit they have accumulated over the years and cannot be changed.
The conflict between the two brothers Qian and Xu had been accumulating for a long time, so there was a high possibility that Qian Kai and his fellow apprentice brother Xu Zhenren would go to war.
To sum up, as long as Tan Wenjie does not intervene forcefully and lets the "story" develop according to normal logic, there should be no problem. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter, he still has follow-up preparations, and doing so is just his habitual cautiousness.
It doesn’t cost anything to give it a try, just in case.
The government office that has a very good relationship with Boss Tan is also a problem. Even if he really inherits Boss Tan's property, there are still local gentry in the town eyeing it covetously, so it is still a question whether he can get it.
But now it is 1912, government office? That is all in the past. It is not impossible for Tan Wenjie to be a captain. His blind date in the provincial capital is just a bonus. His real plan is to build some strength to protect himself.
Prepare for the worst and receive the "inheritance" through formal procedures.
Tan Wenjie has not gained anything from his recent studies. He knows that in this era, dealing with demons and monsters is the real way to survive, but that doesn't stop him from being afraid of pistols before he gains the ability to be invulnerable.
The previous dynasty implemented the system of provinces, circuits, prefectures, states, and counties. Just in the first year of this year, just two or three months ago, it was changed to a system of provinces directly administering counties. There is a lot of room for maneuver, but it is not particularly large. 100 yuan should be able to fill it.
To be on the safe side, he put more than just dollars in his box.
Tan Wenjie drank his tea slowly and said, "Hua Laojiu, help me do one more thing."
"Mr. Tan, you say!" Hua Lajiu said hurriedly.
"In two days, come to the provincial capital to notify me to go back." The people around Tan Wenjie are basically Boss Tan's people.
So he didn't bring anyone with him when he went out this time, and his servants couldn't understand what he did.
But as long as Young Master Tan doesn't cause any trouble, the servants will be thankful.
For some things, you still have to find someone else to do it. Hua Laojiu is a good choice. He is efficient, knows how to judge the situation, is greedy for money but afraid of death.
In Tan Wenjie's eyes, the other party has all advantages.
"Ah?" Hua Laojiu didn't understand, but his mind worked quickly, "I told you to go back to Tanjia Town? When? Who should I keep an eye on?"
"When the time comes, you will know to notify me."
Tan Wenjie raised his right hand, flipped it, and then slapped it on the table: "These are your rewards!"
Hua Laojiu's eyes lit up: "Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on it. If there is any sign of trouble, I will pass the news to you even if I have to run my legs off!"
"No, no, you didn't understand me." Tan Wenjie shook his head. "You should eat and drink as usual. You will know when it's time to notify me. If nothing happens, I will come back on my own. Don't worry, you will get the money."
Hua Laojiu didn't expect there would be such a good job, and he nodded in agreement.
After Hua Laojiu left, a coachman came out of Dr. Cha's inner room.
"Master!"
"Let's go, let's get going!" Tan Wenjie sighed. He really didn't want to go on a blind date, but unfortunately he had no choice.
Boss Tan is not dead yet, he still has to continue to be obedient and marry a wife seriously.
Needless to say, it was hard to sleep in the open air. Tan Wenjie left home at 5 o'clock with full energy, but by the time he arrived at the provincial capital, he was almost exhausted. He had to sleep in the hotel for a whole day before he could recover.
...provincial capital, western restaurant.
Two beautiful girls were sitting together and chatting.
One is wearing a little dress, looking quirky and cute.
The other one was wearing a vest, shirt and shorts, revealing her fair calves and had a pretty face.
The girl in shorts sat down helplessly: "Nianying, how many blind dates did your brother-in-law find for you?"
"There's one last one today," the girl in the little dress wrinkled her face, "I'm only 17, Zhuzhu, it's a new era now, and they still arrange marriages, and the people introduced are..."
There are some talented young people, but she just doesn't think highly of them.
Some have been abroad, some are doctors, and some... but they have one thing in common: they look very ordinary.
"It's the new era," Zhuzhu said, counting on her fingers, "otherwise they'll tie you up, cover you with a red veil, and send you directly into the sedan chair. You won't even know what your man looks like until you lift the red veil, hahaha~!"
Nian Ying wrinkled her nose and said, "Please help me later. It would be best if you can stop him by asking him questions. Sigh."
Zhuzhu nodded, then turned around and joked, "I'll try my best, but you have to give me a signal, what if that person is particularly nice?"
"Then I'll wink at you, and you'll say you're not feeling well and leave to rest?" Nian Ying thought about it, although he felt that the possibility of him falling in love with the other person was very small.
She had given up any hope.
Zhuzhu nodded: "Then it's settled."
It is my duty to stand by my good sister.
"By the way, how long will you be back this time?" Nian Ying asked again.
"Two or three months, then I'll leave."
“Is it particularly hard to travel abroad by boat?”
The two were chatting when they suddenly saw a figure appear at the door of the western restaurant. The other person was wearing a clean robe, carrying a box in his hand, his hair was combed neatly, and he was very handsome.
He has a gentle and elegant temperament.
After whispering with the waiter, the two saw the waiter pointing at their table, obviously talking about them.
The two of them immediately sat up straight and subconsciously straightened their clothes and hair.
"It's your blind date!" Zhuzhu whispered, "She's not bad looking. What do you think? Do you like her?"
"We'll talk about that after we get in touch with each other." Nian Ying's tone softened a lot.
You are so beautiful!
suitable!
All other conditions are not important. My brother-in-law and sister will definitely not lie to me.
Tan Wenjie walked to the table and felt a bit of a headache when he saw two girls. Is it true that no matter what era, blind dates prefer couples with families?
Fortunately, I was well prepared.
"Excuse me for interrupting you, ladies. I'm Tan Wenjie, and I'm here for a blind date today."
Another of his characteristics is that he gets straight to the point.
He likes to leave others with the impression that he is straightforward and likes to get straight to the point, so that he can better demonstrate his love of making adequate preparations and people will not be on guard against a reckless person.
When he saw the two people, especially the girl wearing a Western-style vest, Tan Wenjie recognized her at the first time, the Peach Goddess.
