Chapter 597: Clown 3
Hearing Chu Hongjun's words, Zheng Xiangqian couldn't help feeling nervous. He just wanted to instigate the fat guy Chu Hongjun to deal with Su Yu, but he had no intention of going into battle himself. Not to mention Su Yu's powerful fiancé, even Su Yu's mother Jiang Sufen was not someone he could handle. Jiang Sufen was very aggressive, which was understandable. A widow living with a beautiful daughter, if he was not more assertive, she would probably be bullied to death.
Now, with the welfare problem of Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau being solved twice during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival this year, Jiang Sufen is no longer the invisible person who just held the empty title of deputy director in the office. Not only has she won praise from ordinary cadres and employees in the bureau, but it is said that even the secretary and director of the bureau have praised her highly.
Zheng Xiangqian knew very well that he was just an ordinary postman in the postal department. If Jiang Sufen wanted to deal with him, it would not be difficult.
However, if he did not agree to Chu Hongjun's request, Zheng Xiangqian knew that this fat guy would definitely hate him. If this fat guy knew the true identity of Lin Yu tomorrow, he would definitely not dare to deal with Su Yu again. However, based on his understanding of this guy, he was afraid that he would vent his anger on himself. For a moment, Zheng Xiangqian felt a surge of regret in his heart, as if he had shot himself in the foot by coming to inform Chu Hongjun on impulse.
But before Zheng Xiangqian could come up with an excuse, Chu Hongjun had already dragged him forward.
Zheng Xiangqian's skinny body was no match for Chu Hongjun's pull. He staggered a few steps and Chu Hongjun put his arms around his neck, dragging him forward.
Soon, the two figures, one fat and one thin, disappeared into the night.
Chu Hongjun walked through several alleys with ease and arrived at the gate of a two-story courtyard. Chu Hongjun walked up the steps, reached out and picked up the copper ring on the gate, knocked twice, paused for a moment, and then knocked three times in a row. In the quiet night, the sound of the copper rings colliding was particularly loud.
Soon the gate of the courtyard was opened, and a man wearing a dog-skin hat appeared from the crack of the door. He shone the flashlight in his hand on the faces of Chu Hongjun and Zheng Xiangqian.
Zheng Xiangqian closed his eyes subconsciously because of the dazzling flashlight light, but Chu Hongjun said as if it was normal: "Xiao Qi, what the hell are you shining? It's me."
Xiao Qi, who was wearing a dog-skin hat, laughed dryly and said, "It turns out to be Master Chu. I, Xiao Qi, am shortsighted. Master Chu, the person next to you looks a little unfamiliar."
Chu Hongjun said with a smile: "This is a little brother from my unit. I brought him here today to broaden his horizons. By the way, is Boss Feng here tonight?"
Xiao Qi nodded repeatedly: "Boss Feng and his brothers are already playing. They were just complaining about why you, Mr. Chu, were late today." As he spoke, he made way for the door.
Chu Hongjun exerted a little force with his arms and pulled Zheng Xiangqian into the gate of the courtyard.
As you walk around the screen wall, you can see that although the doors and windows of the main house in the front yard are blocked, a little light can still be seen through the gaps, and you can faintly hear shouts and the sound of mahjong tiles colliding coming from the house.
Chu Hongjun pulled Zheng Xiangqian to the door of the main house, reached out to lift the thick cotton curtain, and pushed the door open and walked in.
At this time, Zheng Xiangqian had no intention of resisting at all. With the mentality of making the best of things, he looked at everything in front of him curiously.
Obviously, this place has been specially renovated. The two main rooms are completely connected, and there are four octagonal tables in the room.
The main room was brightly lit and filled with a pungent smell of cigarettes. At two eight-person tables a little further away, four men with different appearances were playing mahjong at each of them. At another eight-person table, seven or eight people were sitting around throwing dice. Another eight-person table was filled with various cakes and teas.
Seeing the door being pushed open, everyone present looked over involuntarily. After finding out it was Chu Hongjun, they continued playing.
Only a big bearded man who was playing mahjong in the east complained, "Mr. Chu, why are you still dragging your feet today? We've almost finished a round, and that bastard Liuzi is not having good luck today. He's already lost more than thirty for you in just this short time."
Chu Hongjun walked over and said cheerfully: "Boss Feng, are we men good at doing things? Thirty or forty are nothing. Brother Liu, finish this round and then watch me kill everyone." As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted out four and threw them directly in front of a young man of medium build and pale complexion.
Then Chu Hongjun counted out another fifty yuan and handed it to Zheng Xiangqian, who was looking around curiously: "Take it and go over there to play. If you lose, it's mine. If you win, you can keep it to buy cigarettes."
While they were talking, they suddenly heard Boss Feng shouting happily, "Win, give me money, give me money."
The young man named Liuzi took out three yuan and handed it to Boss Feng, then grabbed the forty yuan in front of him and stood up, smiling at Chu Hongjun with a flattering face and said, "Mr. Chu, my luck is too bad today, so you have to do it yourself."
Chu Hongjun sat at the eight-immortal table with a laugh, rubbing the mahjong tiles vigorously while saying, "Come on, come on, they say that failure in love leads to success in gambling, so I'm going to let you guys down tonight."
At this time, the young man named Liuzi walked up to Zheng Xiangqian, who was still in a daze, and gently pulled him, whispering, "Brother, don't be an eyesore here. Let's go and play some dice."
While Boss Feng was reading the cards skillfully, he asked curiously, "Mr. Chu, what do you mean? Your tone doesn't sound right."
Chu Hongjun pushed the mahjong tiles in his hand forward and said with a wry smile: "Today, I am really embarrassed. That Su Yu got engaged today."
Boss Feng blew out a puff of cigarette with disdain: "I told you a long time ago, instead of wasting time playing free love with that woman named Su Yu, you might as well follow my buddy's method, invite her out for dinner, give her some drugs, and make it a done deal. By then, she will have to marry you obediently. With your family status, Young Master Chu, are you afraid that she will dare to make trouble?"
Chu Hongjun lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said angrily, "Damn it, I also believed the nonsense in the book, saying that if you work hard enough, you can grind an iron rod into a needle, and that a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man, it's all bullshit. I've also thought about it. Although a forced melon is not sweet, it can quench thirst. Instead of watching that woman marry someone else, it's better to take the initiative. Brothers, help me get this done, and I will give you two formal employment quotas at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau."
