Chapter 102: Scheming Man Liu Shan
Chapter 102: Scheming Man Liu Shan
"Hey, why don't I like what you said?
“You’re not here.
"The furniture, your sister's schooling, food, drink, and toileting, all of these are taken care of by my old Yu.
"Instead of saying thank you, you're still nagging me.
"What's the matter, Secretary Hong, do you want to practice?"
Cuiping, who was watering the vegetables with a dung shovel, became unhappy. She threw the dung shovel away and rolled up her sleeves.
"Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand.
"Aren't I afraid of bothering Old Yu?"
How could Hong Zhi dare to practice with her, so he quickly smiled and gave in.
“I’m telling you, don’t go too far.
"In order to get your sister into Nankai, my old Yu spent a lot of money.
"Old Yu is easy to talk to, but I won't get used to you!
"If you provoke me, I'll chop off your head!"
Cuiping raised her fist at him and cursed him fiercely.
“Yes, yes.
Hong Zhiyou nodded in agreement:
"Sister-in-law, please make a list later and I will pay for it all."
"That's pretty good." Cuiping said.
The second floor.
Yu Zecheng hid behind the curtains and watched the show happily.
Hong Xiaohui is young, energetic and idealistic.
The organization needs new blood.
The campus is an important propaganda and public opinion base.
Now that the country has been liberated, the competition between the Youth and Red factions on campus and among young people is extremely fierce, and there is a real need for aspiring young students like Hong Xiaohui.
But since Hong Zhiyou was determined not to go into the water, Yu Zecheng gave up any thoughts in this regard.
He didn't want to anger Hong Ji-you.
Everyone has their own principles and bottom line.
Yu Zecheng had no intention of using Hong's family as leverage.
Such a stupid thing would only cause him to completely lose a friend with whom he had a life-long relationship.
He worked hard to help Hong Xiaohui.
It's just to do what I can to repay Hong Zhiyou.
"Zhiyou is back."
Seeing that the quarrel was almost over, Yu Zecheng hurried downstairs to say hello.
"Can you be more shameless?"
Hong Zhiyou pulled Yu Zecheng aside and said unhappily.
“You’re overthinking it.
"Nankai is the best university in Tianjin. Is there any problem for your sister to go there to learn knowledge and culture?" Yu Zecheng explained.
"Your hill is over there." Hong Zhiyou said.
"So what?
“Who says that people who study must choose sides?
"She can definitely pursue academic studies, just like Bing Xin and others."
Yu Zecheng argued.
"you……"
Hong Zhi wanted to argue a few more words.
On second thought:
Damn, am I sick?
Why do you care so much about Hong Xiaohui?
Love to parade in the streets.
Become a target ghost, alive... you can collect the body.
"Forget it, let's talk business. I need a favor from you." Hong Zhiyi waved his hand and changed the subject.
"What's the matter?" Yu Zecheng asked.
"Go and destroy the Nanfeng Company, arrest a few people, lock them up for ten days or half a month, and then release them after paying a fine.
“The name is made up at random.
"Done, five hundred dollars."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
“It’s all small stuff.
"Why should we talk about money?" Yu Zecheng said with a smile.
"Don't!
"Lao Yu, from now on we will only talk about money."
Hong Zhiyou stared at him, counted a few US dollar bills and stuffed them into Yu Zecheng's shirt pocket.
Nanfeng Company has been discovered by Liu Xiong.
It will be troublesome if Magui targets us again.
Moreover, matters that the webmaster has personally ordered must not be delayed.
This is a matter of attitude.
No matter how good the relationships are, you must never be complacent.
Otherwise you won’t go far.
As the two were chatting, a woman in her early fifties with an honest and decent look came out of the hut:
"Director Yu, your shoes have been polished."
"Thanks, Aunt Liu." Yu Zecheng said with a smile.
"Madam, take a break. I'll do it."
Liu Ma couldn't stay idle and went to Cuiping to hang out with her.
"Row.
“You come and water the vegetables, be careful not to trip.
"It's time for dinner, I have to cook."
Cuiping smiled cheerfully and handed the dung shovel to Liu Ma.
"Who is this?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a frown.
"The stationmaster arranged for me to come here to help Cuiping and your mother.
“Usually, I help wash the quilts and brush the shoes.
"There is another task, which is to chat with your mother. She is a local and has a clear knowledge of Jinhaimen."
Yu Zecheng lowered his voice.
"Where's Zhou Yafu?"
"Back to the station."
"The webmaster still has some humanity, right?" Hong Zhiyou sneered.
"Of course, that must be arranged clearly for both of us."
Yu Zecheng smiled knowingly.
Hong Zhiyou knew that Liu Ma must be an experienced grasper.
Compared with Zhou Yafu, she can get closer to her family and Cuiping.
Get more favorable intelligence.
To put it bluntly, Wu Jingzhong is suspicious by nature and will never truly trust anyone.
Even he is the "son-in-law".
"The military transfer is about to begin. I heard that the stationmaster and Lu Qiaoshan have been doing a lot of things while we were away.
"I am now completely in the dark, and the stationmaster is on guard against me.
“Magui has to come back today as well.
"The situation is not good, Zhiyou, you have to help me a little."
Yu Zecheng pulled him to the corner and started whispering to him.
“Can’t help.
“I have elder parents and younger sisters.
"You can play with your head by yourself."
Hong Zhiyou refused without thinking.
Chatted for a while.
Then I heard the clear sound of a bicycle bell.
Hong Xiaohui walked in side by side with a boy with acne on his face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Xiaohui, come on, your brother is back.
"I haven't seen you for two or three years. Let's warm up to each other."
He Yinfeng quickly greeted him.
Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng came over.
Xiaohui is about 1.6 meters tall and a little thin, but she has fair skin and lively facial features, as is typical of people from the south of the Yangtze River. She can barely be considered pretty.
"Brother, you have become more handsome.
"I remember you used to have a short flat head, yellow and black, but now you look like a city person."
Hong Xiaohui skipped over to Hong Zhiyou, gesturing and looking at him with such joy that she couldn't stop.
“That’s, slightly better than your boyfriend.
"Who is this?"
Hong Zhiyou touched her head and looked at the boy with a smile.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about.
"This is my senior, his name is Liu Shan."
Hong Xiaohui's innocent introduction.
"Hello, Mr. Hong." Liu Shan saluted respectfully.
"Liu Shan?
“Well, it’s quite sparkling.
"Hurry up! There's a sugarcane seller across the street. Please buy me two when you drop my sister off tomorrow."
Hong Zhiyou patted his shoulder and smiled.
"Mr. Hong, do you like eating sugarcane?
"Okay, I'll go buy it now."
Liu Shan was very tactful and turned around to leave.
“No, it’s just a joke.
"Have one?"
Hong Zhiyou took out a cigarette and handed him one.
"Thank you, Mr. Hong." Liu Shan took it with both hands and bowed in gratitude.
"Senior, don't you not smoke?" Hong Xiaohui asked curiously.
"I..." Liu Shan's face flushed, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Men.
“You have to smoke, drink, and perm your hair a little bit.
"I ordered it for you."
Hong Zhiyou took out a lighter, lit it and handed it over.
Liu Shan came over and took a puff with an unfamiliar look.
I was choking and coughing.
Hong Zhi knew after one try that this guy was coming for him.
Scheming and cunning.
It's just that the acting is a bit poor and lacks the intensity.
"It's time for dinner, let's eat together." Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.
“No… no.”
Liu Shan was a little excited and hesitant.
"Okay, come often in the future." Hong Zhiyou didn't keep him.
"Xiaohui, how did you meet?"
He asked as Liu Shan left.
“I was received by Senior Liu when I entered the school.
"He's a very nice guy. He's also a member of the student union. He said he wanted to introduce me to the union."
Hong Xiaohui has a good impression of Liu Shan.
"Are you eighteen this year?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.
“You weren’t home last week.
"Senior Liu also bought me a small foreign cake, which was delicious."
Hong Xiaohui shook her head, very happy.
“It’s full.
"That's fine, just be happy."
Hong Zhiyou looked at Liu Shan's back, with a playful smile on his face.
He would rather Xiaohui play with this "high-level inside player".
At least the webmaster and all parties will give her some face and protect her.
Hang out with Lao Yu.
Haha, you never know where your head will fall off.
After chatting for a while, the brother and sister went into the house.
It will be time for dinner soon.
There are two earthen stoves in the yard.
Cuiping and He Yinfeng were busy banging pots and pans, while Aunt Liu was helping out on the side. The place was quite lively and full of the atmosphere.
"Son, eat.
"Today we have potatoes stewed with braised pork, and..."
After a while, my mother He Yinfeng brought up several delicious dishes.
You can put it into Hong Zhiyou’s bowl.
"Mom, you are too biased." Hong Xiaohui curled her lips at the side.
“Your brother hasn’t been home for three years.
"I have to cherish it. Besides, without your brother, would our family have the good life we have now?"
He Yinfeng glared at her ignorant daughter.
"Where's my...dad?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“Stop talking.
"Since moving into Mr. Wu's big house, your father can't tell east from west.
"Those people in your unit take him to brothels every day, smoking opium and playing cards.
"Who knows where he's having fun right now."
He Yinfeng sighed.
"Brother, Uncle Wu gave our dad a lot of silver dollars and gold bars.
“Humph, men become bad when they have money.
"Before coming here, he told us nicely that he came here to urge you to get married and help take care of the children.
"Now he goes shopping every day, and we may have to babysit his children one day."
When Hong Xiaohui mentioned her father, she was full of complaints.
"okay.
"After a lifetime of suffering, half of my body is buried in the ground, and I am not allowed to enjoy myself.
“It’s time to smoke, it’s time to gamble, it’s time to go shopping.
"And you, mom, let Aunt Liu take you to the best shop to buy some nice clothes.
“When I have free time, I go to Shengping Theater to listen to opera, go to Hongqiao Teahouse to listen to crosstalk, or play mahjong.
"Your son is not short of money."
Hong Zhiyou took out his wallet, counted out a thick stack of bills and handed it to her. He had only one thought in mind.
Don't look for trouble, especially don't let Lao Yu drag you into the water. Spending some money is just a drop in the bucket.
"Oh, my son has really made it.
"Okay, if he plays, I'll play too.
"From now on, I will dress up and become a rich wife again."
He Yinfeng took the money and said happily.
After dinner.
Hong Zhiyou said hello and went back to the station to work.
He Yinfeng looked at the leftovers on the table and the smile on her face gradually froze.
This time I came to Tianjin.
She clearly felt that her son was becoming distant, and there was a heart-wrenching coldness in her eyes.
His favorite dish used to be stewed potatoes with braised pork.
But today, no potatoes were eaten.
There is also cold-mixed eggplant with coriander.
Zhiyou used to never eat coriander at all.
But he ate it with great relish.
Could it be that after moving to a big city, even the taste has changed?
It's really weird!
……
Liu Shan rode his bicycle, leaned to the corner, and went straight into Xie Ruolin's house.
As soon as I entered the door, Xie Ruolin was eating steaming dumplings.
"Uncle." Liu Shan shouted.
"Why call me cousin? We are not even close relatives.
"Come, have some together."
Xie Ruolin handed him a plate and poured some soy sauce and vinegar.
"How's your relationship going?" he asked with a smile.
"It's good. Xiaohui has a good impression of me." Liu Shan said while eating dumplings with big mouthfuls.
“No way.
"Women, especially virgins, are all valuable...
“You have to take him down as soon as possible.
“There’s a saying…what’s it called, first love is the most unforgettable.
"You have to use some tricks to eat...it's delicious when it hits your mouth."
Xie Ruolin smiled and took a sip of the dumpling soup.
"Uncle, I'll listen to you. I will try to get Xiaohui as soon as possible." Liu Shan said with a red face.
"let me tell you.
"If you become Secretary Hong's brother-in-law, you can play with the black and white ones as you like.
“You can go to any department you want.
“Money is even more plentiful.
"By then, your uncle might even have to hang out with you."
Xie Ruolin knew Hong Zhiyou's strength much better than anyone else.
"Ok.
"It's also thanks to my cousin's reminder. Otherwise, who would have known that this country girl Hong Xiaohui has such a powerful background, which allowed me to get a bargain." Liu Shan nodded and laughed dryly.
"How is it? Have you met Secretary Hong?" Xie Ruolin asked.
“Yes.
"He also gave me a cigarette and asked me to visit his house often." Liu Shan said excitedly.
"No...that's not right." Xie Ruolin frowned and shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Liu Shan's smile froze and he felt a little panicked.
“It stands to reason.
"Secretary Hong should pick on you."
Xie Ruolin's eyes turned suspiciously, and then he said:
"Of course, maybe it's because you are smart and have good eyesight.
“Secretary Hong sees your potential.
"In a word, you have to behave well and grasp this overwhelming wealth."
“It’s my uncle.
"I'm full. I have to go to Mr. Zhou's house to tutor his little daughter. I'll leave first." Liu Shan stuffed the last dumpling into his mouth, got up and left.
"Mr. Zhou, which Mr. Zhou?" Xie Ruolin asked.
"It's Zhou Yunyi from the Education Bureau, Section Chief Zhou.
“His daughter is going to college.
"I went to their house for extra lessons every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights, earning two silver dollars a week."
Liu Shan said with great pride.
He is a well-known top student in Nankai.
Or could the school principal recommend me to Mr. Zhou to be a tutor?
"Okay, go ahead." Xie Ruolin waved his hand.
He is just a section chief, and he is in the education field.
There is no profit in it, so it's not worth his attention.
……
2 p.m.
Hong Zhiyou came to the station.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lao Wang from the General Affairs Office nailing a sign with a hammer.
Ma Kui, who had not been seen for a long time, was wearing a windbreaker and a black round hat, with his hands behind his back, looking at me.
"Captain Ma?"
Hong Zhiyou pretended to be surprised.
"Brother, how about my new office?" Ma Kui said proudly, raising his hand.
“Headquarters Inspection Office.
"style!
"It's much more spacious than the action team." Hong Zhiyou praised.
"of course.
"Boss Dai appointed him personally, and Director Mao specially dispatched him."
Ma Kui smiled, lowered his voice and sneered:
“I have the right to freely deploy Jinhai Station and the Military Police Law Enforcement Team.
"Anyone who wants to stop me will never succeed."
"I understand, the Imperial Sword!" Hong Zhi nodded.
“In this station, I’m compatible with you.
"Adi told me that you took good care of him.
"I treat you as my brother, so just stand aside and watch the show." Ma Kui said with a smile.
"Okay, it's best to watch a play.
"Just don't drag me into this, thank you brother."
Hong Zhiyou greeted everyone and came to the reception table outside the stationmaster's office.
……
Stationmaster's office.
Lu Qiaoshan took out a list and handed it to Wu Jingzhong:
"Stationmaster, the Youth Army is interested in developing a group of people to go to National Chengchi University and the Youth League School for annual training. This is the list I picked, please take a look."
"It's up to you."
Wu Jingzhong glanced at it and said:
"Have you found out who the smoker named Lin was that you were targeting last time?"
“I checked it out.
"Her name is Lin Tao, and she used to be a nurse in the Eighth Route Army Logistics Hospital.
"In 44, she was injured while fighting the Japanese invaders.
“Later I returned to Jinhai.
"Her husband is the head of the Personnel Section of the Education Bureau. His name is Zhou Yunyi. He is said to have good handwriting and has a good relationship with the Democratic League."
Land bridge mountain road.
“This guy needs to be guarded closely.
"Wang Puchen sent me a secret telegram saying that Ma Hansan had caught a big fish, who was said to be the secretary of a key underground figure in Peking.
"Now the people have been turned by Ma Hansan and are in a very tight spot.
“This person revealed that he had met Zhou Yunyi before.
"First, control Lin Tao, then secretly arrest Zhou Yunyi, try to persuade him to defect, and catch all the big fish in Jinhai.
"If we don't have enough manpower, we can ask Ma Kui."
Wu Jingzhong ordered.
"Stationmaster, go find him. He is a special envoy, so it would not be appropriate for him to do so." Lu Qiaoshan said with an unnatural smile.
“Although Ma Kui is stupid, he is still positive in catching red tickets.
“I’ll tell you the truth.
"Director Mao has to handle this matter personally. If Ma Kui fails to come up with anything or makes a mistake, he will bear the responsibility. Do you understand?"
Wu Jingzhong narrowed his eyes, frowned and sneered in a low voice.
"I understand. I'll go find Lao Ma right away." Lu Qiaoshan nodded.
"Go."
Wu Jingzhong said.
Check Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou, he is negative.
But Wu Jingzhong spared no effort in catching red tickets.
Boss Dai no longer trusts him as much as before.
It's time to show up in front of the boss.
……
"Director Lu, please leave a cup of coffee for me later." Hong Zhiyou whispered when he saw Lu Qiaoshan coming out.
"Always waiting."
Lu Qiaoshan likes this God of Wealth the most. As long as he is prepared, good things will happen to him.
"Secretary Hong."
Wu Jingzhong shouted from inside.
"Webmaster." Hong Zhiyou walked in.
"No hurry, eat first.
“Rui Rui made this for you.
“It’s called fruit scoop, it just puts a bunch of messy stuff in it.
“I was supposed to catch up on some sleep at home today.
"Look, because of you, she forced me to come to work."
Wu Jingzhong pointed at him and smiled dotingly.
With just one move, Hong Zhi cut off the tangle of Xiangdao.
Ruirui now has a lot of savings in her pocket.
The antiques were also transported back to the winery.
Wu Jingzhong likes this "son-in-law" from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you, webmaster." Hong Zhiyou said.
Needless to say, Ruirui’s cooking skills are pretty good. The cream and red bean paste are added in just the right amount, making it sweet but not greasy.
"Zhiyou, now that you're back, you should pick up the club and start business again."
Wu Jingzhong smiled as he crossed his arms.
"Stationmaster, the military will hold a meeting tonight, and I have to share your concerns. Please put the club aside for now."
Hong Zhiyou really wanted to cry.
He has been back for two days, but he hasn't even had time to meet Wanqiu.
This is really urging the business to open.
"Look, you can't tell the priorities.
"Your business will be primarily with the ladies at the club, and secondarily with the station.
“The military transfer should be carried out when necessary.
"As a woman, it won't take long to play a game of mahjong when you have some free time.
“You have to get the job done!
"To be honest, I've been feeling really anxious these days...
“I’m tired of watching that at home.
"Please be careful with your trouble."
Wu Jingzhong frowned and rubbed his fingers, feeling a little annoyed that he didn't understand the taste.
"But Ruirui is still here." Hong Zhiyou suspected that Old Wu was testing him.
“Men.
“Career comes first.
“Even if you accompany her every day, she won’t become an old woman.
"He'll ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars again. Will you give it to him or should I?"
Wu Jingzhong smiled sinisterly.
"become.
“Your words make me feel at ease.
"Let's go play mahjong now."
Hong Zhiyou stood up and said.
"You can walk through a sea of flowers and keep a good girl in your heart. Just be tactful." Wu Jingzhong patted him again and said.
"Yes."
Sure enough, in Old Wu’s heart, money always comes first.
"By the way, please take this list of guild members to Captain Ma.
“Most of the staff that had been there before him have been replaced.
"Let's communicate, so as to avoid trouble in dispatching."
Wu Jingzhong stood up, took out a document and handed it to Hong Zhiyou.
“Stationmaster, let Captain Ma get it himself.
“I’m still focusing on the club.
"When Section Chief Liu was here, I was scared.
"I don't want to get involved in anything that can easily leak secrets."
Hong Zhiyou smiled and refused.
“Yes, this is the awareness you should have.
"Go."
Wu Jingzhong nodded in appreciation.
Hong Zhiyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Qiaoshan is mainly responsible for monitoring and personnel arrangements.
It was not difficult for Yu Zecheng to find out these lists.
By now he should have passed the information to his superiors.
At the meeting tonight, Old Wu will have to show off his butt again.
At this time, if he looked at it any longer, he would get into trouble.
Let Lao Ma take the blame.
Anyway, his blood is thick enough!
