have!The younger brother nodded and complimented: Sister, I really know the goods. There is not much left in the Sangzi wine we brewed in spring. The master said that it would definitely be sold out if it was autumn. If you don’t drink it, you will have to wait next year.
What fresh fish are there today?Lin Ling asked greedily, as if she was very hungry, and said excitedly: By the way, by the way, I want that braised platter!
The boss came today and did not order food according to the rules.The younger brother said with a embarrassed look on his face.
The intellectual young woman nodded and said: I understand, let’s count on the human head.You tell the kitchen that you can just choose the best, no matter the price, as long as the food is delicious.
OK!My younger brother responded and went to work hard. He didn't seem to be surprised by these generous words. Perhaps everyone who comes here to eat likes this kind of heroic spirit.
Zhang Dong has understood that this old restaurant is a tycoon business. Now think about it carefully. There is no menu or sign in this restaurant. If you don’t know the goods, don’t come to the door. At most, the waiter will tell you what to eat. Moreover, the dishes seem to change frequently due to seasonal conditions.
Looking at the vegetable garden, it seems to be a place to entertain relatives and friends. Compared with the noisy store environment, it is indeed much better. However, what is outrageous is that there are also overlord terms here. When the boss comes, he doesn't order vegetables. It means that you can eat whatever you serve and you don't eat. It's too arrogant to be able to do this business.
The intellectual young woman seemed to see Zhang Dong's doubts and explained with a smile: This is always the case here. When the boss comes, he must have come to try some new dishes. Moreover, when they go to the market to buy vegetables, they buy whatever is fresh and good, so there is no menu, so they basically do whatever they have in the kitchen.
It's really amazing to do business to this point!Zhang Dong shook his head, still not agreeing with the series of overbearing terms, thinking that if the restaurant is to be opened in the city, it may be closed in less than three days.
If the business there wasn't too good, the old man wouldn't have cleaned up the vegetable garden.Although Lin Yàn felt awkward, in order not to make the atmosphere too awkward, he still spoke from the side: Everyone is humble, and the old man can't afford to offend the officials in the town and county, so he had to build these pavilions on the pond here. There are many rules and the decoration is broken, but it is still full every day.
Very good, I made more money.Zhang Dong wondered: Others are afraid that there will be less business, so why is this old man still afraid that there will be too many business?
He was also afraid that those officials would eat the overlords.Lin Ling obviously said in a tone of mocking the country buns: In the past, many restaurants opened in this town were eaten by those officials.The old man said he was not afraid of it, it must be fake, so the vegetable garden never owes people, and he would collect 200 yuan in tea and water when sitting down at a table, as if he was snatching it.
What?Zhang Dong was stunned and thought to himself: Two hundred yuan in tea and water bills per table?
Are you mistaken?
Sometimes I don’t need to spend 200 yuan for a meal in this broken place. I will collect the money first as soon as I touch my butt. It’s too cruel!
This is also his shrewdness.The intellectual young woman smiled and said, obviously there was something else.
The two Lin Yàn sisters heard this and felt a little confused.
Zhang Dong thought for a while, but suddenly realized it. He looked at the tables next to him that looked like Mr. Guan, shook his head, and laughed: This old man is really smart!If it weren't for the use of these people's lowliness, he might have done business with others, and this old restaurant would have been destroyed long ago.
People have a humble side. Sometimes they can't feel it, but many things can be understood as soon as they are said. Just like an old restaurant, it is true that the food is delicious, but without those strange rules, you may not be able to prosper like that.
As soon as I sit down, I collect the money for tea and drinks first, and I feel cold in service. I want to drive people away after eating. In this era when customers are God, it seems that all this goes against it. But it is precisely this that causes a human nature to be stubborn, which is almost like being accustomed to being humble. When I greet others with a nice greeting, I am neglected to come here to eat, which can satisfy the distorted feeling in my heart.
What is rumored about is all bad things, but it has very different reactions. There are no high-end restaurants these days, and if you have money, you don’t have any services. Friends come together to drink and brag. Who can’t tell a few big restaurants in the world? What about the good service attitude? Some of them are all vulgar topics that cannot be reached. But there is such a store that ignores customers and even wants to kill customers away. They don’t give you a good face as soon as they come in.It looks lustful. When serving the food, there is no one to greet you. When you enter the door, you have to find a seat by yourself. If you don’t have a seat, you squat on the open space behind. Sometimes you don’t even give a bench. If you are in a bad mood, you won’t let you order the food. If you don’t eat, you will get out of it. When you encounter something sold out, no one will pay attention to it. If you want to eat something during peak hours, you will wait in line like others. There is no shortage of this money here. Its arrogant attitude often makes people feel urged to experience it. After the experience, it becomes a topic of show-off conversation.
The place is dilapidated, the things are sold so expensively, and there is no signboard, just like you are reluctant to let customers visit again. Such a gimmick suddenly arouses the curiosity and sensation of the people, and will instead make some comfortable people find a humble alternative and an extremely distorted and perverted novelty here.
No wonder the business is so prosperous.
Zhang Dong smiled, feeling that this old man considered the person very much. If this restaurant smiled and welcomed guests, the business would probably not be so good.
No one has owed a penny since the day the vegetable garden opened.The intellectual young woman seemed to admire the old man's business techniques, pointed to the tables next to her, and said with a smile: These people come here for face.If you look at the environment here again, you will understand why the old man made this place so simple.
This pond is not big, and you can vaguely hear the sound of those tables talking while sitting here.
The two sisters Lin Yàn were confused when they heard this, but Zhang Dong figured it out at once. It turned out that the old man built this place so simple to prevent others from owing debts. The tables around him were all clear at a glance, and no one was willing to lose face.
This town and this county are so big, and the people who can come here to have dinner know each other more or less. In this case, who would have the nerve to say that the money is not enough and owe a debt first?
Of course, if they really spoke, the old man would probably be embarrassed to refuse, so he simply built this place like this. In order to save face, no one owe any of these people.
Just imagine, if it is a closed box that these people like, and they call the manager over and say, it’s nothing to owe a debt, but in such an environment, they can’t bear the pride or open the mouth, and no one is afraid of being laughed at when it gets out.
Although it is normal for them to lose money after eating, it is inevitable that they will be teased by acquaintances when they are reported. These old men are unwilling to make their colleagues laugh at them for a few money, so in such a public situation, they cannot owe money for food.
Damn, if you are old but don’t die, you will become a spirit!After Zhang Dong figured it out, he couldn't help but curse, thinking: This old man is simply an old fox, so he is so energetic that it makes people scared.
The old man is very good at judging people and knows how to run a business. This is why he is doing big business.The intellectual young woman nodded, unable to hide her praise for the old man in her words.
The old traitor is very slippery!
Zhang Dong remembered the scene of his conversation with the old man today. He looked serious and generous, like a kind elder, and he could not see such a sophisticated plot under his skin.
What are you talking about?Lin Ling was so dizzy that she didn't know what Zhang Dong and the intellectual young woman were talking about.
It's mysterious.Lin Yàn also muttered depressedly that she couldn't even get into this topic.
At this time, Zhang Dong clapped his hands and said embarrassedly: I have been chatting for so long, but I still don’t know what you call me?I'm really sorry.
Haha, so do I.The intellectual young woman smiled, as if she admired Zhang Dong's intelligence at a glance. She opened her red lips and said: My name is Xu Hanlan, I should be a few years older than you, just call me Sister Lan.
Brother Zhang Dong, haha.Zhang Dong smiled foolishly.
At this time, Zhang Dong felt something was wrong. He kept talking and laughing with Xu Hanlan. The two sisters Lin Yàn were left aside and remained silent. Before they could even raise an army to question him, he looked like he was chatting and laughing. This attitude was really...
At this time, Zhang Dong could feel the two sisters Lin Yiàn rolling their eyes at the same time, and immediately wiped the cold sweat, closed his mouth, and did not dare to speak again.
You have a lot of experience, but you don’t have a person from Xiaoli Town with accent?Are you here to do business?Xu Hanlan opened her conversation and asked politely.
No, no!Zhang Dong quickly shook his head and avoided the eyes of the Lin Yàn sisters. He really didn't dare to talk anymore. If he continued to talk like this, it felt like he was belittling their IQ.
no?Then what are you doing in this place where birds don’t poop?As soon as Lin Yàn opened his mouth, the beautiful cherry mouth was filled with smell of gunpowder.
This...this... Zhang Dong scratched his head, wondering if he should talk about the things that Chen Guzi had rotten.
No one jammed you, why are you shy!Lin Yàn glared at Zhang Dong fiercely, as if he was curious. I wonder what the people in Zhang Dong came to this town for nothing?
The service here is really not very good, almost no one takes care of it, and I didn't come to the tea after leaving for a long time.
Zhang Dong was idle and told about the general matter, including the period when he went to the countryside, the incident where his mother came from, and the real estate left by his father in Guangzhou and the rich man who seemed to be digging graves.
These are all personal privacy, so there is no need to mention them. Moreover, if they mention them, they are afraid that Lin Yàn's idea of blackmailing.
Although this society advocates truth, goodness and beauty, Zhang Dong has to be careful. This is not a judgement of a gentleman by the heart of a villain. It is just that everything can happen in society. It is always good to prevent it before it happens.
After Zhang Dong finished speaking briefly, Xu Hanlan was silent for a moment, suddenly shook her head, and said: This was indeed the case in those days, but you may not be able to find descendants of the Chen family when you go to Chenjiagou, and there are not many residents there.Well, is it because of the demolition and construction of a reservoir?Lin Yàn asked in confusion, for some reason, but when she heard this, the frost on her face actually relieved.
If there is no demolition, the people there will be almost gone!Lin Ling rarely spoke, and his eyes looked at Zhang Dong with a much softer look, not as strongly pretended to be stubbornly indifferent as before.
Zhang Dong felt a little confused and was surprised by the change in attitudes between the two sisters Lin Yàn, but he still asked with concern: What's wrong with Chenjiagou Village?There is no remote place, so why is there any talk of demolition?
There is a reservoir built there!Lin Ling said: Chenjiagou has floods several times every year. I forgot about a lake next to it.After the government sent people to explore the situation last time, it marked it as a newly built hydropower comprehensive reservoir, so some people have moved out, and some people are talking about it one after another, but I don’t know where the slight compensation is enough for them to move to?
Ah?Moved?Where to move?When Zhang Dong heard this, he was anxious.
Although Zhang Dong is very unfamiliar with the Chen family, he is his mother's family after all. His mother passed away when he was a child. She always felt guilty about the Chen family's grace. Her father was also thinking about this matter when he died. He finally came to Xiaoli Town. If he couldn't find anyone, what's the point of coming here?
This... this is not sure... Lin Ling was a little scared, but unexpectedly Zhang Dong would suddenly become excited.
Why jump?Who is scared?Lin Yàn immediately shouted dissatisfiedly, obviously Zhang Dong's attitude also scared her.
Without saying a few words, the little brother ran over, carried the bamboo basket, put the tableware and lotus leaf water in the bamboo basket on the table, and said with a smile: Several people sit slowly, the master said it out and looked at the head, and then served the food after watching the head.So troublesome?Zhang Dong muttered dissatisfiedly, thinking to himself: Why are there so many rules for the stinky old man?
There is no way, the master is also afraid of waste.After saying that, I left.
No one was joking anymore. The Lin Yàn sisters were thinking, but Xu Hanlan was a little interested in Zhang Dong. For some reason, she suddenly asked: Zhang Dong, since you have lived in the provincial capital for so many years, have you known people from the discipline inspection or people from the province?
People from the province?It seems to be there, but I don’t know what position it is.Zhang Dong searched the impression in his mind. He knew two or three people, but they were all small officials who could not get on the table, and one of them was a driver of a leader, and a temporary worker who didn't even have a staffing position.
Oh, think about it, see if there are any acquaintances in politics and law?Xu Hanlan's attitude was a little earnest for a moment, and she seemed to say anxiously: It would be better if there are people from the media. Sister Lan wants to ask you to have a personal favor.
how?Is there something wrong with Sister Lan?Zhang Dong scratched his head and thought to himself: Who are the people I know? They are all living beings and waiting to die. Eating, drinking, gamblers, but they can’t do anything. How many people have real skills?
At this time, Xu Hanlan did not speak, but sipped tea.
Lin Yàn didn't know what was wrong, and said carefully: That's right, a relative in my family is about to retire in just one or two years, but I don't know what happened. Someone took some messy evidence to petition, and it seemed that the above was about to start an investigation.
Although Lin Yàn spoke very seriously, even ghosts could hear that this so-called relative was very close to Xu Hanlan and was reported before retirement. It would be better to say that he was bullied by others. How powerful is Zhang Dong?
As soon as I heard it, I could hear the trick. My eyes rolled, and I didn't say anything, waiting for the following text.
The specific problem lies in the demolition side.Seeing Zhang Dong's lukewarm look, Xu Hanlan knew that it was useless to beat around the bush, so he simply said: When he was in office, he led the demolition work of Xincheng Station. At the end of last year, the man finally set himself on fire.
How big is it?Zhang Dong felt a headache and thought: Do you think everyone living in the provincial capital knows high officials?
I don’t know many officials, but there are a lot of gangsters and gangsters.
Not yet exposed.Xu Hanlan's face was a little bitter, she frowned slightly, and sighed: But sooner or later, the paper won't hold on, and the relationship we are looking for is not very hard. Now I heard that after the information was handed over, there were people from the provincial TV station chasing him, so this matter was not easy to deal with.
Didn't you spend money to settle it? Although Zhang Dong was unwilling to wade into this muddy water, he listened to Xu Hanlan's words and asked habitually, and wondered: Why do you want to tell me about this?
I am just a passerby in a hurry. Even if I have a rape case here, it is a flash in the pan. Why do I tell me this?
Judging from what Xu Hanlan said, the person who committed the crime should be her relatively close relative, otherwise she would not care so much. This incident has not been exposed for so long, which proves that this person or Xu Hanlan's family has certain ability and suppressed this matter at that time.
At this time, someone turned over old accounts, and it was probably the collective interest that was at work. Therefore, the people who can retain these information must not be ordinary people, and they must be real power in the officialdom. They have to retire and make up for this, which is tantamount to stabbing people when they are dying.
This kind of whipping like a corpse is not done by normal people except for huge hatred.
It’s not unclear that if such a person can get a certain position, it proves that he is definitely not a reckless person. He will turn over old debts and mess with others, proving that he has other intentions, and perhaps he wants to use this matter to seek other interests.
I spent money, and I spent a lot of money.As he said that, Xu Hanlan looked at Lin Yiàn meaningfully and said calmly: The demolition work of the family members is easy to discuss now, but the life of self-immolation is 250,000 yuan.At that time, we wanted to pay the money, but unexpectedly, someone was fanning the flames and later, the lion directly asked for 800,000 yuan, which was absolutely impossible.
It's indeed a blackmail.Zhang Dong smiled, and his tone was inevitably a little ridiculous, thinking: What a joke, when will China's life be so valuable?
Well, if no one makes trouble, they wouldn't dare to speak like this.Xu Hanlan nodded and did not deny Zhang Dong's words.
If an ordinary person dares to speak like this with courage, someone must be instigating him. This person is not very powerful. He may not expect to get the amount of money he said, but he just wants to take the opportunity to make this big deal.
800,000 yuan...Tsk tsk, when did human life become so valuable?Zhang Dong joked.
Zhang Dong, do you have any connections in your province?Xu Hanlan hesitated for a moment and said: I know we are not familiar with each other. There is no need to talk about this with you so deeply. If you really grit your teeth, you can indeed get 800,000 yuan in cash, but we cannot suffer such a big loss. If you have the trick to solve this problem, your benefits will naturally be indispensable.
I don’t think about the benefits for the time being, but why don’t you spend some money to solve this problem?Zhang Dong looked at Xu Hanlan with deep meaning and began to think about this matter.
In fact, if it is related to demolition, there are two aspects. One is real estate developers. Although most of these people are gangsters, their local power is extremely terrifying. There is nothing short of money, power, and power. How can there be no unfairness?
If it is going to be a big deal, at most it will be to lose money and eliminate disasters. Second, that is, this matter involves local governments. The government does have many tough measures to demolish in the name of promoting the economy. Forcing people to burn themselves is no longer news. But if someone interferes, the people who lead the project will not escape the relationship. To put it bluntly, there are still some elements of political struggles. No one can understand what the people who smile at each other every day are thinking.
According to this situation, Xu Hanlan's tone, they seemed to have the intention of spending money to eliminate disasters, but the people who were interfering obviously didn't want to settle the matter. They were willing to spend the 800,000 yuan, but they just held this handle and it was a bit like killing people. We wanted to spend money to buy peace, but now we couldn't find a way.As he said that, Xu Hanlan frowned tightly.
Zhang Dong, can you find a way to help Sister Xu?At this time, Lin Yiàn, who had been indifferent for a day, hesitated for a moment and suddenly said with a little cleverness: Now that Sister Xu's family is in such difficulties, we are not feeling well. If she can't solve this problem, my dilapidated hotel will not be able to open.
What does this have to do with you?Zhang Dong smiled bitterly in surprise, facing Lin Yàn's words, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
I owe Sister Xu more than 200,000 yuan.As he said that, Lin Yiàn lowered his head a little embarrassedly, but he didn't know what he remembered again, and immediately gave Zhang Dong a fierce look.
This look is a life-threatening person!
It is better to say that it is rolling your eyes than to say that it is a slight person.
Zhang Dong only felt that his bones all over his body began to become soft, but a certain part seemed to be becoming hard.
It's Ah, brother, if you have a solution, please help Sister Xu.At this time, Lin Ling also spoke, begging: We have been borrowing money everywhere during this period and want to pay back Sister Xu's account, but we haven't made up enough. I went out to collect some debts in one afternoon, but it was only a few thousand yuan.You also know that we are just a small hotel, and it is half rented, so how can we get so much money to pay for it!If Sister Xu is in trouble, we can't keep driving there.
OK, don’t tell me this, it has nothing to do with me!Zhang Dong was a little confused by the pleas of the Lin Yàn sisters and began to think about the details carefully.
The surname is Zhang!Lin Yàn's face flushed, and suddenly slapped the table and gritted his teeth and said: Let me tell you, if something goes wrong with Sister Xu, it's not easy for me. I'm not easy for me. I will definitely pull you into the water. Don't think I'm joking!
Shut up!No one thinks you are mute if you don’t speak!Zhang Dong was thinking about it and was not afraid of Lin Yàn's threat. He snorted coldly and said in a bad tone.
Yànzi and Ling'er, stop talking about it, let him think about it.Xu Hanlan was wise, and as Lin Ling was about to ask for help, she immediately waved her hand to stop her.
Seeing this, Lin Yin felt angry, but she just groaned, sat down, stared at Zhang Dong with a bad look.
800,000 yuan... If you want to settle this matter, it may be more than that.After all, Zhang Dong was wandering around in society. After thinking about it, he sorted out the general relationship and felt that there was still a problem.
You have a lot of knowledge, and I won't lie to you.
Xu Hanlan was slightly stunned. Facing Zhang Dong's bright gaze, she suddenly became a little panicked. Finally, she sighed and said: With our relationship, it is simply a bottomless pit to build the relationship layer by layer. We can indeed give out the 800,000 yuan, but we are afraid that the money is far from enough.
What is the first place?Zhang Dong was a little ready to move, and began to think about his relationship network in the provincial capital.
media.Xu Hanlan thought for a while and said: This is what we are most worried about. Although our family has power, we are a small local official after all. Once this matter is exposed, it will definitely cause a lot of controversy. At that time, I am afraid that no one will dare to accept the money, and this matter will be endless.
I know people in the media.Zhang Dong's eyes lit up, but he immediately pretended to be difficult. He looked at Lin Yàn, then looked at Lin Ling, gritted his teeth, and said with some difficulty: To be honest, I don't want to owe others favors easily, but Yàn spoke, and I was embarrassed to refuse.But if you want to settle this matter, I can give me a minimum price. I can talk about it for you. As for the others, I can only stabilize this and then discuss it later.What does it have to do with me!Lin Yàn panicked, unlike today's aggressiveness, lowered his head a little shyly.
How much do you think you need?Xu Hanlan glanced at Lin Yàn meaningfully, and then asked Zhang Dong earnestly.
Showing off their favors is always a timely means. Zhang Dong naturally understood the truth. Although he was happy that Lin Yàn's attitude had changed, he still said with a difficult face: I don't understand their ability, but there must be a price. At least you can give me a minimum price so that I can talk to others, otherwise I will not be able to speak at all.
As long as you don’t go on TV or get a newspaper, you’ll have 250,000 yuan.Xu Hanlan thought for a long time before gritting her teeth and offering a price, but she still said with concern: I hope your relationship is strong enough.I am very willing to spend this money, but I don’t want to spend it in vain. Do you understand?
Looking at Xu Hanlan's firm attitude, Zhang Dong's first thought was that it seemed that their mortal enemy was really looking for a relationship and the people on Xu Hanlan's side would definitely have received news, otherwise she would not be so anxious to avoid public attention, which would further expand the situation.
This girl is really an official!
While Zhang Dong was thinking about it, he looked at Xu Hanlan's dignified suit and beautiful face, and he felt a little itchy in his heart. He couldn't help but imagine how graceful the charm under her clothes should be.
Two hundred and fifty thousand yuan?You look down on the prices in the provincial capital too much.When Zhang Dong heard this, he felt a little relieved, but he still sneered. At the price you offered, this red envelope can be given to your county's propaganda department. I guess the newspapers in this small county will not publish anything.Of course, you don’t have a newspaper here, so the money is probably spent in vain.
Give me a number!Xu Hanlan's expression was gloomy and sunny. Finally, she sighed and said with a wry smile: How much does this matter cost if it is settled?
Double it.Zhang Dong thought about it in his mind and immediately spoke.
Five hundred thousand yuan?You're not wrong?Xu Hanlan suddenly became anxious. Her face, who had always been gentle and intellectual, suddenly flushed and she said angrily: I warn you, don’t think this is an opportunity to quarrel. I am afraid that I can’t find a relationship with you if I’m willing to spend 500,000 yuan in favors, why should I talk to you!
Are you sure the favors you are looking for are useful?Zhang Dong lit a cigarette and sneered disdainfully.
It is impossible to be such a high price, you'd better think it through before talking about it.Xu Hanlan had a bad face. She obviously had some inquiries about some gossip and was very dissatisfied with Zhang Dong's lion's words.
What you gave me was not a real price, why do you ask me?Zhang Dong smiled and snorted without any slightness.
Within the number you mentioned!Xu Hanlan thought for a moment and gritted her teeth and said.
By the way, why do we talk like this?Zhang Dong didn't think there was a problem with the price. He just watched Xu Hanlan suddenly become aggressive from gentle like water, and he felt a little unhappy and teased: Sister Lan, we are not close or unfamiliar, I don't know why I want to help you. Why do I tell me so much?
What do you mean?Xu Hanlan looked at Zhang Dong with a bad expression.
Since she met Xu Hanlan, she has always been gentle and intellectual, as peaceful as water. At this time, the rare anger on her face added a little charm. The more she looked, the more she became, the more fun she became, and she said with a smile: I owe you favors, I don’t know what benefits it will be for me?OK, I don't want to say anything else.
Xu Hanlan was a little angry. After thinking about it, she remained calm. She glared at Zhang Dong and said: If you have the advantage, I can give you the activity fee. As for other things, if you don’t want to cause trouble, it’s best to help me, otherwise you don’t expect to live a better life in this small place.Although my surname is from a small place, it is easy to deal with you in Xiaoli Town.
What's up?Zhang Dong suddenly felt a sudden heart and asked clearly.
Sister Lan, this... Lin Yàn was shocked and was about to speak in panic.
You know it!Xu Hanlan's attitude was surprisingly tough. She reached out to stop Lin Yàn from speaking. Her beautiful and deep eyes kept looking at Zhang Dong and threatened: Help me deal with this matter, I promise that I will not pursue it. Otherwise, I don't care how capable you are in the province. Now that the evidence is conclusive, you can lock you up, and then you have no choice.Threat?Welcome, this is what I am most afraid of. I have always been soft but not hard.
Zhang Dong was immediately angry, slapped the table, staring at Xu Hanlan fiercely, suppressing his irritability for a day and turning into anger. If he didn't vent his anger, Zhang Dong would doubt whether he would be suffocated to death.
Lin Yàn was a little surprised when he heard this, and grabbed Xu Hanlan's arm in shock and panic, and said anxiously: Sister Lan, you didn't agree to me.
It's not your turn to speak!Xu Hanlan was also a little excited. She looked at Zhang Dong's glaring eyes and scolded: If my family suffers, you can't escape!Don’t forget that your small hotel owes me more than 200,000 yuan. If I hadn’t lent you money, would you live like this comfortably?
This was a bit too tough, and Xu Hanlan obviously felt a little regretful after saying it, but this emotion flashed through. She turned her head stubbornly and did not dare to look directly at Lin Yiàn's stunned look.
At this time, the low-pitched quarrel had attracted the attention of others. Lin Ling was a little anxious, her eyes faintly wet. Seeing that she looked so anxious that she was about to cry, she whispered: Sister Lan, don’t be angry, my sister didn’t mean it!
Lin Ling was speechless, and she was obviously panicked.
At this time, Lin Ling turned her head and said to Zhang Dong in panic: Brother Zhang, please stop talking. Sister Lan is so impatient when she encounters trouble. She is usually very nice to my sister. Don’t make her angry, okay?
This... Zhang Dong, you... Lin Yàn was so shocked that she seemed to be tough when she spoke, but her trembling tone revealed her panic. It can even be seen from the pain of her face that Xu Hanlan's words hurt her a lot.
Enough!Zhang Dong took a deep breath of cigarette and stared at Xu Hanlan fiercely.
Some time ago, Zhang Dong felt that Xu Hanlan was intellectual and gentle, but now she was just a few words, and she was so strong and unreasonable, and even threatened with such reasons. Zhang Dong couldn't help but think: As expected, women are all animals that turn against each other.
But Xu Hanlan was right. This was the thing Zhang Dong was most worried about. Zhang Dong was still very uneasy when he was drunk last night. He didn't expect that Lin Yàn would tell Xu Hanlan about this. This made Zhang Dong feel more annoyed the more he thought about it. He couldn't help but glar at Lin Yàn fiercely.
Lin Yàn was a little scared and immediately lowered her head and dared not look at Zhang Dong. She completely forgot that she was the biggest victim, perhaps because of the blame in Zhang Dong's eyes, or perhaps because Xu Hanlan's excessive words just now made her sandwich between the two, feeling unruly and panic on her face.
Do you have any way?Xu Hanlan said impatiently: If not, I don’t want to waste time talking to you about this. I don’t want to listen to your bragging here. Who knows if you can make this money?
In fact, Xu Hanlan's strategy is right. What men are most afraid of is to be looked down upon by others, especially by a woman.
Zhang Dong was immediately angry, stood up suddenly, pointed directly at Xu Hanlan's nose, and cursed bluntly: Just be arrogant to me!But it’s just a small official in the sesame and mung bean in a place. I’m too lazy to tell examples of you dirty things!I still think that little money is too small, and I have the ability to settle it myself!Believe it or not, I will speak up, but you can't deal with it in the end!
You really have a way!Unexpectedly, Xu Hanlan was not angry at all when she was pointed at her nose and scolded her, but instead breathed a sigh of relief and gave Zhang Dong a gentle smile.
Fuck, I've been fooled by the stinky girls!
Zhang Dong suddenly woke up and felt even more unhappy. He immediately sat down, slapped the table, and said angrily: I don’t have time to listen to you fart, I have no obligation to help you in this matter!What should I do? Please be smart. I have no time to have this dirty thing in your family. Don’t do it like I am greedy for you.Xu Hanlan smiled and said nothing, and her eyes gently swept to the side.
Lin Yàn was shy and was shy when Xu Hanlan saw him, and hesitated with a red face. Finally, he stretched out his jade hand and pulled Zhang Dong's sleeve, begging in a low voice: Zhang Dong, how can you help Sister Xu?Can you help me?
This tone was spoken by the enchanting Lin Yàn, which made people feel so weak that it was unbelievable.
While Zhang Dong was speechless, Lin Ling gritted his teeth with a red face and said softly: Brother Zhang, please, if you have a solution, can you help us?
Faced with the weak pleas of the two sisters Lin Yàn, the words of each other even felt like they were acting coquettish. The soft voice almost melted the bones of the person. Zhang Dong felt a little dizzy for a moment and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Zhang Dong's cell phone that he placed on the table suddenly rang.
The extremely strange ringtone immediately scared the person to death.
Xiao Yàn, wearing flowery clothes, comes here every spring.I asked Yànzi why you came. Yànzi said that there are eighteen bends of mountain roads here, nine roads and nine chains here...
Amid the rapid ringtone, a familiar and annoying name appeared on the mobile phone screen.
When Zhang Dong saw it, he immediately cursed in his heart: Cao Cao will be here!
This bitch hasn't been in contact for more than half a year, why do you think of calling me now?
You guy is considered a manifestation, but you are still a fucking dream?
I don’t believe you, you are determined to pay back the money!
Lin Yàn and the three girls were shocked by the ghost ringtone and no one spoke.
Zhang Dong took a deep breath, and as soon as he picked up his phone, he immediately cursed: Bastard, remember to find me Ah!Didn't it shut down all day?Fuck you, I owe you money and even disappear. What is the point of turning off your phone all day?Are you afraid that I will go to your house to pour paint?
Depend on!Dongzi, where did you get so angry?The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little guilty, but he cursed stubbornly.
I'm so angry!You guys, can't you cheat me enough?Zhang Dong was talking, standing at the pavilion and swearing constantly, while carefully avoiding a distance in case Lin Yàn and others heard these conversations.
Big Head sneered and said awkwardly: Where is it!I had to pay back the card debt some time ago, and I was tight on my hands.You also know that I am getting poorer and poorer. I haven’t played mahjong for more than two months. Today I rarely come to relieve the itch at hand.
Say less nonsense!What's wrong?Zhang Dong kept thinking about it, but his tone was still very impatient.
When did you transfer this to Aaron?Big Head said carefully, almost awkward, as if it was because someone was listening.
It's been long since!Don’t pretend to be dead with me. If you go, no one will tell you?Zhang Dong took a sip of the cigarette hard and said bluntly: You know how poor I was some time ago, and now I am almost running away.You should pay back the 10,000 yuan soon, or I will find a late night and go to your unit to write a blood letter and hang it!
Don't Ah, I'm really tight on my hands recently!Datou almost cried and said: I have some spare money to play mahjong, but I didn’t expect to lose so badly again.I am not very familiar with Aaron, and he has deducted my work permit and ID card now.
Zhang Dong thought to himself: This grandson lost money again!
Along and I have a good relationship. This fat man probably didn't know what to do when he went there at the beginning. Along asked him to beat him when he saw that he was my regular customer. Unexpectedly, this fat man beat him without much money. Now he probably owes a lot of debt.
How much do you lose?Zhang Dong's mind changed and began to think about his ideas.
More than 20,000.Big Head said weakly.
This happened to be delivered to the door. Datou works at the Provincial TV General Station. It should be said that his family is from the TV station and from the newspapers. They are not very powerful, but the older generation has a strong foundation and a large number of younger generations. They are really a local tyrant in this circle.
However, Big Head is good at prostitution and gambling. The salary of nearly 10,000 yuan a month is not enough to spend. It is not counted as other bonuses, allowances, etc., and owes a lot of money outside. If his wife was not a senior supervisor, his job was to review the news and have a strong personality, he would probably have lost all his family.
In that circle, Datou is famous. Although his wife is strict in control, he lives a hard life, at least his wife is rich. If something happens to a prostitute, her family will probably break the ground. If there is a small gambling, his wife will still use the money to pay off the debt. This is also the reason why Zhang Dong was willing to let him owe money.
After having an idea in his mind, Zhang Dong immediately pretended to be embarrassed and said: No?Big Head Brother, the old debt has not been fresh, you want me to bear it, right?
You are familiar with Aaron, just say it.Datou said confidently: Don’t you know how much I earn in a month?Besides, my money is all in my wife's place, are you afraid that I will run away?
Hold!
The money is with your wife!
It’s better to say that your wife has money.
Zhang Dong cursed in his heart, then looked at Xu Hanlan. He wanted to speak directly, but after thinking about it, he still held back. If the matter was too easy to solve, he could not raise the price with Xu Hanlan, but he sent it to his door to beg for someone, and he was afraid that the big-headed lion would speak loudly. In short, it would be of no benefit to speak rashly. At least, the noise cannot be heard now.
Zhang Dong thought for a moment, asked Datou to let Along answer the phone, and then whispered: Brother Long, you should return the account to the customer with cash first, and this account is on my head.
No!Along said in a hoarse voice: Dongzi, it’s not that I don’t believe you. If you speak, I will owe you as much as I have. Don’t say 20,000 yuan, I won’t blink even if it’s 200,000 yuan.But you don’t need to help Datou take this debt. Who doesn’t know that he is a bad bet in this circle!
It doesn't matter, I'm sure about him.Zhang Dong pondered for a moment and instructed: Return the work permit to him, but the ID card must be deducted first. Also, let him sign an IOU, this is the rule.
Well, OK.Although Aaron didn't know what Zhang Dong wanted to do, he still didn't ask much.
Are you still fighting?Zhang Dong asked tentatively, thinking: The 50,000 I borrowed from him was remitted yesterday, and now the new debt is on the rise again, alas!
Although it is borrowed and paid back, it is not difficult to borrow again. Zhang Dong has been in such a long time. Although he has no money, he has credibility and it is not difficult to borrow money. But his most fear is that he is hiding money from others, afraid of owing favors, and suddenly not having the ability to repay debts. He can't help but laugh in his heart that his character is actually very noble.
Still here.He stopped first without money. Now he lacked three and one is missing. I was waiting for him to pay back the money before I could go down by myself.Aaron seemed to walk away a little, his voice becoming less noisy.
Give him cash and raise up 50,000 yuan to let him continue to fight.Zhang Dong hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: The creditor of the IOU writes my name, remember to press the fingerprint.
Dongzi, isn't it necessary?Aaron kindly advised.
Along is one of the few brothers that Zhang Dong can talk to. When he was having a lot of messy people, he may not talk a lot. Along is considered one. Although it is not a relationship that can be lost, they are both easy to talk to each other in terms of money.
Datou gambles when he has money, loses the bet, and immediately spends money to prostitution when he wins the bet. Even if he can make up for it, the money can't be resisted so much. Zhang Dong naturally understood in his heart and was grateful to Ah Long for his kindness, but he still insisted: It doesn't matter, I know all this in my heart. Just give him money and let him play there with peace of mind.
clear.Aaron didn't ask any more questions and agreed immediately.
I'll send you the money these two days.Zhang Dong felt comfortable. After all, there were still people who thought about him so much. Although he had many friends, there were not many friends like Aaron who had a heart-to-heart relationship.
No, I'm not tight on my hands.Aaron said: Okay, you have spoken, so that's it.After handling the matter there, I will come back soon. Brothers are waiting for you to have a good meal.
no problem!Zhang Dong smiled and chatted for a few more before hanging up the phone.
How is things going on?As soon as Zhang Dong returned to his seat, Xu Hanlan couldn't wait to ask.
What fresh fish are there today?Lin Ling asked greedily, as if she was very hungry, and said excitedly: By the way, by the way, I want that braised platter!
The boss came today and did not order food according to the rules.The younger brother said with a embarrassed look on his face.
The intellectual young woman nodded and said: I understand, let’s count on the human head.You tell the kitchen that you can just choose the best, no matter the price, as long as the food is delicious.
OK!My younger brother responded and went to work hard. He didn't seem to be surprised by these generous words. Perhaps everyone who comes here to eat likes this kind of heroic spirit.
Zhang Dong has understood that this old restaurant is a tycoon business. Now think about it carefully. There is no menu or sign in this restaurant. If you don’t know the goods, don’t come to the door. At most, the waiter will tell you what to eat. Moreover, the dishes seem to change frequently due to seasonal conditions.
Looking at the vegetable garden, it seems to be a place to entertain relatives and friends. Compared with the noisy store environment, it is indeed much better. However, what is outrageous is that there are also overlord terms here. When the boss comes, he doesn't order vegetables. It means that you can eat whatever you serve and you don't eat. It's too arrogant to be able to do this business.
The intellectual young woman seemed to see Zhang Dong's doubts and explained with a smile: This is always the case here. When the boss comes, he must have come to try some new dishes. Moreover, when they go to the market to buy vegetables, they buy whatever is fresh and good, so there is no menu, so they basically do whatever they have in the kitchen.
It's really amazing to do business to this point!Zhang Dong shook his head, still not agreeing with the series of overbearing terms, thinking that if the restaurant is to be opened in the city, it may be closed in less than three days.
If the business there wasn't too good, the old man wouldn't have cleaned up the vegetable garden.Although Lin Yàn felt awkward, in order not to make the atmosphere too awkward, he still spoke from the side: Everyone is humble, and the old man can't afford to offend the officials in the town and county, so he had to build these pavilions on the pond here. There are many rules and the decoration is broken, but it is still full every day.
Very good, I made more money.Zhang Dong wondered: Others are afraid that there will be less business, so why is this old man still afraid that there will be too many business?
He was also afraid that those officials would eat the overlords.Lin Ling obviously said in a tone of mocking the country buns: In the past, many restaurants opened in this town were eaten by those officials.The old man said he was not afraid of it, it must be fake, so the vegetable garden never owes people, and he would collect 200 yuan in tea and water when sitting down at a table, as if he was snatching it.
What?Zhang Dong was stunned and thought to himself: Two hundred yuan in tea and water bills per table?
Are you mistaken?
Sometimes I don’t need to spend 200 yuan for a meal in this broken place. I will collect the money first as soon as I touch my butt. It’s too cruel!
This is also his shrewdness.The intellectual young woman smiled and said, obviously there was something else.
The two Lin Yàn sisters heard this and felt a little confused.
Zhang Dong thought for a while, but suddenly realized it. He looked at the tables next to him that looked like Mr. Guan, shook his head, and laughed: This old man is really smart!If it weren't for the use of these people's lowliness, he might have done business with others, and this old restaurant would have been destroyed long ago.
People have a humble side. Sometimes they can't feel it, but many things can be understood as soon as they are said. Just like an old restaurant, it is true that the food is delicious, but without those strange rules, you may not be able to prosper like that.
As soon as I sit down, I collect the money for tea and drinks first, and I feel cold in service. I want to drive people away after eating. In this era when customers are God, it seems that all this goes against it. But it is precisely this that causes a human nature to be stubborn, which is almost like being accustomed to being humble. When I greet others with a nice greeting, I am neglected to come here to eat, which can satisfy the distorted feeling in my heart.
What is rumored about is all bad things, but it has very different reactions. There are no high-end restaurants these days, and if you have money, you don’t have any services. Friends come together to drink and brag. Who can’t tell a few big restaurants in the world? What about the good service attitude? Some of them are all vulgar topics that cannot be reached. But there is such a store that ignores customers and even wants to kill customers away. They don’t give you a good face as soon as they come in.It looks lustful. When serving the food, there is no one to greet you. When you enter the door, you have to find a seat by yourself. If you don’t have a seat, you squat on the open space behind. Sometimes you don’t even give a bench. If you are in a bad mood, you won’t let you order the food. If you don’t eat, you will get out of it. When you encounter something sold out, no one will pay attention to it. If you want to eat something during peak hours, you will wait in line like others. There is no shortage of this money here. Its arrogant attitude often makes people feel urged to experience it. After the experience, it becomes a topic of show-off conversation.
The place is dilapidated, the things are sold so expensively, and there is no signboard, just like you are reluctant to let customers visit again. Such a gimmick suddenly arouses the curiosity and sensation of the people, and will instead make some comfortable people find a humble alternative and an extremely distorted and perverted novelty here.
No wonder the business is so prosperous.
Zhang Dong smiled, feeling that this old man considered the person very much. If this restaurant smiled and welcomed guests, the business would probably not be so good.
No one has owed a penny since the day the vegetable garden opened.The intellectual young woman seemed to admire the old man's business techniques, pointed to the tables next to her, and said with a smile: These people come here for face.If you look at the environment here again, you will understand why the old man made this place so simple.
This pond is not big, and you can vaguely hear the sound of those tables talking while sitting here.
The two sisters Lin Yàn were confused when they heard this, but Zhang Dong figured it out at once. It turned out that the old man built this place so simple to prevent others from owing debts. The tables around him were all clear at a glance, and no one was willing to lose face.
This town and this county are so big, and the people who can come here to have dinner know each other more or less. In this case, who would have the nerve to say that the money is not enough and owe a debt first?
Of course, if they really spoke, the old man would probably be embarrassed to refuse, so he simply built this place like this. In order to save face, no one owe any of these people.
Just imagine, if it is a closed box that these people like, and they call the manager over and say, it’s nothing to owe a debt, but in such an environment, they can’t bear the pride or open the mouth, and no one is afraid of being laughed at when it gets out.
Although it is normal for them to lose money after eating, it is inevitable that they will be teased by acquaintances when they are reported. These old men are unwilling to make their colleagues laugh at them for a few money, so in such a public situation, they cannot owe money for food.
Damn, if you are old but don’t die, you will become a spirit!After Zhang Dong figured it out, he couldn't help but curse, thinking: This old man is simply an old fox, so he is so energetic that it makes people scared.
The old man is very good at judging people and knows how to run a business. This is why he is doing big business.The intellectual young woman nodded, unable to hide her praise for the old man in her words.
The old traitor is very slippery!
Zhang Dong remembered the scene of his conversation with the old man today. He looked serious and generous, like a kind elder, and he could not see such a sophisticated plot under his skin.
What are you talking about?Lin Ling was so dizzy that she didn't know what Zhang Dong and the intellectual young woman were talking about.
It's mysterious.Lin Yàn also muttered depressedly that she couldn't even get into this topic.
At this time, Zhang Dong clapped his hands and said embarrassedly: I have been chatting for so long, but I still don’t know what you call me?I'm really sorry.
Haha, so do I.The intellectual young woman smiled, as if she admired Zhang Dong's intelligence at a glance. She opened her red lips and said: My name is Xu Hanlan, I should be a few years older than you, just call me Sister Lan.
Brother Zhang Dong, haha.Zhang Dong smiled foolishly.
At this time, Zhang Dong felt something was wrong. He kept talking and laughing with Xu Hanlan. The two sisters Lin Yàn were left aside and remained silent. Before they could even raise an army to question him, he looked like he was chatting and laughing. This attitude was really...
At this time, Zhang Dong could feel the two sisters Lin Yiàn rolling their eyes at the same time, and immediately wiped the cold sweat, closed his mouth, and did not dare to speak again.
You have a lot of experience, but you don’t have a person from Xiaoli Town with accent?Are you here to do business?Xu Hanlan opened her conversation and asked politely.
No, no!Zhang Dong quickly shook his head and avoided the eyes of the Lin Yàn sisters. He really didn't dare to talk anymore. If he continued to talk like this, it felt like he was belittling their IQ.
no?Then what are you doing in this place where birds don’t poop?As soon as Lin Yàn opened his mouth, the beautiful cherry mouth was filled with smell of gunpowder.
This...this... Zhang Dong scratched his head, wondering if he should talk about the things that Chen Guzi had rotten.
No one jammed you, why are you shy!Lin Yàn glared at Zhang Dong fiercely, as if he was curious. I wonder what the people in Zhang Dong came to this town for nothing?
The service here is really not very good, almost no one takes care of it, and I didn't come to the tea after leaving for a long time.
Zhang Dong was idle and told about the general matter, including the period when he went to the countryside, the incident where his mother came from, and the real estate left by his father in Guangzhou and the rich man who seemed to be digging graves.
These are all personal privacy, so there is no need to mention them. Moreover, if they mention them, they are afraid that Lin Yàn's idea of blackmailing.
Although this society advocates truth, goodness and beauty, Zhang Dong has to be careful. This is not a judgement of a gentleman by the heart of a villain. It is just that everything can happen in society. It is always good to prevent it before it happens.
After Zhang Dong finished speaking briefly, Xu Hanlan was silent for a moment, suddenly shook her head, and said: This was indeed the case in those days, but you may not be able to find descendants of the Chen family when you go to Chenjiagou, and there are not many residents there.Well, is it because of the demolition and construction of a reservoir?Lin Yàn asked in confusion, for some reason, but when she heard this, the frost on her face actually relieved.
If there is no demolition, the people there will be almost gone!Lin Ling rarely spoke, and his eyes looked at Zhang Dong with a much softer look, not as strongly pretended to be stubbornly indifferent as before.
Zhang Dong felt a little confused and was surprised by the change in attitudes between the two sisters Lin Yàn, but he still asked with concern: What's wrong with Chenjiagou Village?There is no remote place, so why is there any talk of demolition?
There is a reservoir built there!Lin Ling said: Chenjiagou has floods several times every year. I forgot about a lake next to it.After the government sent people to explore the situation last time, it marked it as a newly built hydropower comprehensive reservoir, so some people have moved out, and some people are talking about it one after another, but I don’t know where the slight compensation is enough for them to move to?
Ah?Moved?Where to move?When Zhang Dong heard this, he was anxious.
Although Zhang Dong is very unfamiliar with the Chen family, he is his mother's family after all. His mother passed away when he was a child. She always felt guilty about the Chen family's grace. Her father was also thinking about this matter when he died. He finally came to Xiaoli Town. If he couldn't find anyone, what's the point of coming here?
This... this is not sure... Lin Ling was a little scared, but unexpectedly Zhang Dong would suddenly become excited.
Why jump?Who is scared?Lin Yàn immediately shouted dissatisfiedly, obviously Zhang Dong's attitude also scared her.
Without saying a few words, the little brother ran over, carried the bamboo basket, put the tableware and lotus leaf water in the bamboo basket on the table, and said with a smile: Several people sit slowly, the master said it out and looked at the head, and then served the food after watching the head.So troublesome?Zhang Dong muttered dissatisfiedly, thinking to himself: Why are there so many rules for the stinky old man?
There is no way, the master is also afraid of waste.After saying that, I left.
No one was joking anymore. The Lin Yàn sisters were thinking, but Xu Hanlan was a little interested in Zhang Dong. For some reason, she suddenly asked: Zhang Dong, since you have lived in the provincial capital for so many years, have you known people from the discipline inspection or people from the province?
People from the province?It seems to be there, but I don’t know what position it is.Zhang Dong searched the impression in his mind. He knew two or three people, but they were all small officials who could not get on the table, and one of them was a driver of a leader, and a temporary worker who didn't even have a staffing position.
Oh, think about it, see if there are any acquaintances in politics and law?Xu Hanlan's attitude was a little earnest for a moment, and she seemed to say anxiously: It would be better if there are people from the media. Sister Lan wants to ask you to have a personal favor.
how?Is there something wrong with Sister Lan?Zhang Dong scratched his head and thought to himself: Who are the people I know? They are all living beings and waiting to die. Eating, drinking, gamblers, but they can’t do anything. How many people have real skills?
At this time, Xu Hanlan did not speak, but sipped tea.
Lin Yàn didn't know what was wrong, and said carefully: That's right, a relative in my family is about to retire in just one or two years, but I don't know what happened. Someone took some messy evidence to petition, and it seemed that the above was about to start an investigation.
Although Lin Yàn spoke very seriously, even ghosts could hear that this so-called relative was very close to Xu Hanlan and was reported before retirement. It would be better to say that he was bullied by others. How powerful is Zhang Dong?
As soon as I heard it, I could hear the trick. My eyes rolled, and I didn't say anything, waiting for the following text.
The specific problem lies in the demolition side.Seeing Zhang Dong's lukewarm look, Xu Hanlan knew that it was useless to beat around the bush, so he simply said: When he was in office, he led the demolition work of Xincheng Station. At the end of last year, the man finally set himself on fire.
How big is it?Zhang Dong felt a headache and thought: Do you think everyone living in the provincial capital knows high officials?
I don’t know many officials, but there are a lot of gangsters and gangsters.
Not yet exposed.Xu Hanlan's face was a little bitter, she frowned slightly, and sighed: But sooner or later, the paper won't hold on, and the relationship we are looking for is not very hard. Now I heard that after the information was handed over, there were people from the provincial TV station chasing him, so this matter was not easy to deal with.
Didn't you spend money to settle it? Although Zhang Dong was unwilling to wade into this muddy water, he listened to Xu Hanlan's words and asked habitually, and wondered: Why do you want to tell me about this?
I am just a passerby in a hurry. Even if I have a rape case here, it is a flash in the pan. Why do I tell me this?
Judging from what Xu Hanlan said, the person who committed the crime should be her relatively close relative, otherwise she would not care so much. This incident has not been exposed for so long, which proves that this person or Xu Hanlan's family has certain ability and suppressed this matter at that time.
At this time, someone turned over old accounts, and it was probably the collective interest that was at work. Therefore, the people who can retain these information must not be ordinary people, and they must be real power in the officialdom. They have to retire and make up for this, which is tantamount to stabbing people when they are dying.
This kind of whipping like a corpse is not done by normal people except for huge hatred.
It’s not unclear that if such a person can get a certain position, it proves that he is definitely not a reckless person. He will turn over old debts and mess with others, proving that he has other intentions, and perhaps he wants to use this matter to seek other interests.
I spent money, and I spent a lot of money.As he said that, Xu Hanlan looked at Lin Yiàn meaningfully and said calmly: The demolition work of the family members is easy to discuss now, but the life of self-immolation is 250,000 yuan.At that time, we wanted to pay the money, but unexpectedly, someone was fanning the flames and later, the lion directly asked for 800,000 yuan, which was absolutely impossible.
It's indeed a blackmail.Zhang Dong smiled, and his tone was inevitably a little ridiculous, thinking: What a joke, when will China's life be so valuable?
Well, if no one makes trouble, they wouldn't dare to speak like this.Xu Hanlan nodded and did not deny Zhang Dong's words.
If an ordinary person dares to speak like this with courage, someone must be instigating him. This person is not very powerful. He may not expect to get the amount of money he said, but he just wants to take the opportunity to make this big deal.
800,000 yuan...Tsk tsk, when did human life become so valuable?Zhang Dong joked.
Zhang Dong, do you have any connections in your province?Xu Hanlan hesitated for a moment and said: I know we are not familiar with each other. There is no need to talk about this with you so deeply. If you really grit your teeth, you can indeed get 800,000 yuan in cash, but we cannot suffer such a big loss. If you have the trick to solve this problem, your benefits will naturally be indispensable.
I don’t think about the benefits for the time being, but why don’t you spend some money to solve this problem?Zhang Dong looked at Xu Hanlan with deep meaning and began to think about this matter.
In fact, if it is related to demolition, there are two aspects. One is real estate developers. Although most of these people are gangsters, their local power is extremely terrifying. There is nothing short of money, power, and power. How can there be no unfairness?
If it is going to be a big deal, at most it will be to lose money and eliminate disasters. Second, that is, this matter involves local governments. The government does have many tough measures to demolish in the name of promoting the economy. Forcing people to burn themselves is no longer news. But if someone interferes, the people who lead the project will not escape the relationship. To put it bluntly, there are still some elements of political struggles. No one can understand what the people who smile at each other every day are thinking.
According to this situation, Xu Hanlan's tone, they seemed to have the intention of spending money to eliminate disasters, but the people who were interfering obviously didn't want to settle the matter. They were willing to spend the 800,000 yuan, but they just held this handle and it was a bit like killing people. We wanted to spend money to buy peace, but now we couldn't find a way.As he said that, Xu Hanlan frowned tightly.
Zhang Dong, can you find a way to help Sister Xu?At this time, Lin Yiàn, who had been indifferent for a day, hesitated for a moment and suddenly said with a little cleverness: Now that Sister Xu's family is in such difficulties, we are not feeling well. If she can't solve this problem, my dilapidated hotel will not be able to open.
What does this have to do with you?Zhang Dong smiled bitterly in surprise, facing Lin Yàn's words, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
I owe Sister Xu more than 200,000 yuan.As he said that, Lin Yiàn lowered his head a little embarrassedly, but he didn't know what he remembered again, and immediately gave Zhang Dong a fierce look.
This look is a life-threatening person!
It is better to say that it is rolling your eyes than to say that it is a slight person.
Zhang Dong only felt that his bones all over his body began to become soft, but a certain part seemed to be becoming hard.
It's Ah, brother, if you have a solution, please help Sister Xu.At this time, Lin Ling also spoke, begging: We have been borrowing money everywhere during this period and want to pay back Sister Xu's account, but we haven't made up enough. I went out to collect some debts in one afternoon, but it was only a few thousand yuan.You also know that we are just a small hotel, and it is half rented, so how can we get so much money to pay for it!If Sister Xu is in trouble, we can't keep driving there.
OK, don’t tell me this, it has nothing to do with me!Zhang Dong was a little confused by the pleas of the Lin Yàn sisters and began to think about the details carefully.
The surname is Zhang!Lin Yàn's face flushed, and suddenly slapped the table and gritted his teeth and said: Let me tell you, if something goes wrong with Sister Xu, it's not easy for me. I'm not easy for me. I will definitely pull you into the water. Don't think I'm joking!
Shut up!No one thinks you are mute if you don’t speak!Zhang Dong was thinking about it and was not afraid of Lin Yàn's threat. He snorted coldly and said in a bad tone.
Yànzi and Ling'er, stop talking about it, let him think about it.Xu Hanlan was wise, and as Lin Ling was about to ask for help, she immediately waved her hand to stop her.
Seeing this, Lin Yin felt angry, but she just groaned, sat down, stared at Zhang Dong with a bad look.
800,000 yuan... If you want to settle this matter, it may be more than that.After all, Zhang Dong was wandering around in society. After thinking about it, he sorted out the general relationship and felt that there was still a problem.
You have a lot of knowledge, and I won't lie to you.
Xu Hanlan was slightly stunned. Facing Zhang Dong's bright gaze, she suddenly became a little panicked. Finally, she sighed and said: With our relationship, it is simply a bottomless pit to build the relationship layer by layer. We can indeed give out the 800,000 yuan, but we are afraid that the money is far from enough.
What is the first place?Zhang Dong was a little ready to move, and began to think about his relationship network in the provincial capital.
media.Xu Hanlan thought for a while and said: This is what we are most worried about. Although our family has power, we are a small local official after all. Once this matter is exposed, it will definitely cause a lot of controversy. At that time, I am afraid that no one will dare to accept the money, and this matter will be endless.
I know people in the media.Zhang Dong's eyes lit up, but he immediately pretended to be difficult. He looked at Lin Yàn, then looked at Lin Ling, gritted his teeth, and said with some difficulty: To be honest, I don't want to owe others favors easily, but Yàn spoke, and I was embarrassed to refuse.But if you want to settle this matter, I can give me a minimum price. I can talk about it for you. As for the others, I can only stabilize this and then discuss it later.What does it have to do with me!Lin Yàn panicked, unlike today's aggressiveness, lowered his head a little shyly.
How much do you think you need?Xu Hanlan glanced at Lin Yàn meaningfully, and then asked Zhang Dong earnestly.
Showing off their favors is always a timely means. Zhang Dong naturally understood the truth. Although he was happy that Lin Yàn's attitude had changed, he still said with a difficult face: I don't understand their ability, but there must be a price. At least you can give me a minimum price so that I can talk to others, otherwise I will not be able to speak at all.
As long as you don’t go on TV or get a newspaper, you’ll have 250,000 yuan.Xu Hanlan thought for a long time before gritting her teeth and offering a price, but she still said with concern: I hope your relationship is strong enough.I am very willing to spend this money, but I don’t want to spend it in vain. Do you understand?
Looking at Xu Hanlan's firm attitude, Zhang Dong's first thought was that it seemed that their mortal enemy was really looking for a relationship and the people on Xu Hanlan's side would definitely have received news, otherwise she would not be so anxious to avoid public attention, which would further expand the situation.
This girl is really an official!
While Zhang Dong was thinking about it, he looked at Xu Hanlan's dignified suit and beautiful face, and he felt a little itchy in his heart. He couldn't help but imagine how graceful the charm under her clothes should be.
Two hundred and fifty thousand yuan?You look down on the prices in the provincial capital too much.When Zhang Dong heard this, he felt a little relieved, but he still sneered. At the price you offered, this red envelope can be given to your county's propaganda department. I guess the newspapers in this small county will not publish anything.Of course, you don’t have a newspaper here, so the money is probably spent in vain.
Give me a number!Xu Hanlan's expression was gloomy and sunny. Finally, she sighed and said with a wry smile: How much does this matter cost if it is settled?
Double it.Zhang Dong thought about it in his mind and immediately spoke.
Five hundred thousand yuan?You're not wrong?Xu Hanlan suddenly became anxious. Her face, who had always been gentle and intellectual, suddenly flushed and she said angrily: I warn you, don’t think this is an opportunity to quarrel. I am afraid that I can’t find a relationship with you if I’m willing to spend 500,000 yuan in favors, why should I talk to you!
Are you sure the favors you are looking for are useful?Zhang Dong lit a cigarette and sneered disdainfully.
It is impossible to be such a high price, you'd better think it through before talking about it.Xu Hanlan had a bad face. She obviously had some inquiries about some gossip and was very dissatisfied with Zhang Dong's lion's words.
What you gave me was not a real price, why do you ask me?Zhang Dong smiled and snorted without any slightness.
Within the number you mentioned!Xu Hanlan thought for a moment and gritted her teeth and said.
By the way, why do we talk like this?Zhang Dong didn't think there was a problem with the price. He just watched Xu Hanlan suddenly become aggressive from gentle like water, and he felt a little unhappy and teased: Sister Lan, we are not close or unfamiliar, I don't know why I want to help you. Why do I tell me so much?
What do you mean?Xu Hanlan looked at Zhang Dong with a bad expression.
Since she met Xu Hanlan, she has always been gentle and intellectual, as peaceful as water. At this time, the rare anger on her face added a little charm. The more she looked, the more she became, the more fun she became, and she said with a smile: I owe you favors, I don’t know what benefits it will be for me?OK, I don't want to say anything else.
Xu Hanlan was a little angry. After thinking about it, she remained calm. She glared at Zhang Dong and said: If you have the advantage, I can give you the activity fee. As for other things, if you don’t want to cause trouble, it’s best to help me, otherwise you don’t expect to live a better life in this small place.Although my surname is from a small place, it is easy to deal with you in Xiaoli Town.
What's up?Zhang Dong suddenly felt a sudden heart and asked clearly.
Sister Lan, this... Lin Yàn was shocked and was about to speak in panic.
You know it!Xu Hanlan's attitude was surprisingly tough. She reached out to stop Lin Yàn from speaking. Her beautiful and deep eyes kept looking at Zhang Dong and threatened: Help me deal with this matter, I promise that I will not pursue it. Otherwise, I don't care how capable you are in the province. Now that the evidence is conclusive, you can lock you up, and then you have no choice.Threat?Welcome, this is what I am most afraid of. I have always been soft but not hard.
Zhang Dong was immediately angry, slapped the table, staring at Xu Hanlan fiercely, suppressing his irritability for a day and turning into anger. If he didn't vent his anger, Zhang Dong would doubt whether he would be suffocated to death.
Lin Yàn was a little surprised when he heard this, and grabbed Xu Hanlan's arm in shock and panic, and said anxiously: Sister Lan, you didn't agree to me.
It's not your turn to speak!Xu Hanlan was also a little excited. She looked at Zhang Dong's glaring eyes and scolded: If my family suffers, you can't escape!Don’t forget that your small hotel owes me more than 200,000 yuan. If I hadn’t lent you money, would you live like this comfortably?
This was a bit too tough, and Xu Hanlan obviously felt a little regretful after saying it, but this emotion flashed through. She turned her head stubbornly and did not dare to look directly at Lin Yiàn's stunned look.
At this time, the low-pitched quarrel had attracted the attention of others. Lin Ling was a little anxious, her eyes faintly wet. Seeing that she looked so anxious that she was about to cry, she whispered: Sister Lan, don’t be angry, my sister didn’t mean it!
Lin Ling was speechless, and she was obviously panicked.
At this time, Lin Ling turned her head and said to Zhang Dong in panic: Brother Zhang, please stop talking. Sister Lan is so impatient when she encounters trouble. She is usually very nice to my sister. Don’t make her angry, okay?
This... Zhang Dong, you... Lin Yàn was so shocked that she seemed to be tough when she spoke, but her trembling tone revealed her panic. It can even be seen from the pain of her face that Xu Hanlan's words hurt her a lot.
Enough!Zhang Dong took a deep breath of cigarette and stared at Xu Hanlan fiercely.
Some time ago, Zhang Dong felt that Xu Hanlan was intellectual and gentle, but now she was just a few words, and she was so strong and unreasonable, and even threatened with such reasons. Zhang Dong couldn't help but think: As expected, women are all animals that turn against each other.
But Xu Hanlan was right. This was the thing Zhang Dong was most worried about. Zhang Dong was still very uneasy when he was drunk last night. He didn't expect that Lin Yàn would tell Xu Hanlan about this. This made Zhang Dong feel more annoyed the more he thought about it. He couldn't help but glar at Lin Yàn fiercely.
Lin Yàn was a little scared and immediately lowered her head and dared not look at Zhang Dong. She completely forgot that she was the biggest victim, perhaps because of the blame in Zhang Dong's eyes, or perhaps because Xu Hanlan's excessive words just now made her sandwich between the two, feeling unruly and panic on her face.
Do you have any way?Xu Hanlan said impatiently: If not, I don’t want to waste time talking to you about this. I don’t want to listen to your bragging here. Who knows if you can make this money?
In fact, Xu Hanlan's strategy is right. What men are most afraid of is to be looked down upon by others, especially by a woman.
Zhang Dong was immediately angry, stood up suddenly, pointed directly at Xu Hanlan's nose, and cursed bluntly: Just be arrogant to me!But it’s just a small official in the sesame and mung bean in a place. I’m too lazy to tell examples of you dirty things!I still think that little money is too small, and I have the ability to settle it myself!Believe it or not, I will speak up, but you can't deal with it in the end!
You really have a way!Unexpectedly, Xu Hanlan was not angry at all when she was pointed at her nose and scolded her, but instead breathed a sigh of relief and gave Zhang Dong a gentle smile.
Fuck, I've been fooled by the stinky girls!
Zhang Dong suddenly woke up and felt even more unhappy. He immediately sat down, slapped the table, and said angrily: I don’t have time to listen to you fart, I have no obligation to help you in this matter!What should I do? Please be smart. I have no time to have this dirty thing in your family. Don’t do it like I am greedy for you.Xu Hanlan smiled and said nothing, and her eyes gently swept to the side.
Lin Yàn was shy and was shy when Xu Hanlan saw him, and hesitated with a red face. Finally, he stretched out his jade hand and pulled Zhang Dong's sleeve, begging in a low voice: Zhang Dong, how can you help Sister Xu?Can you help me?
This tone was spoken by the enchanting Lin Yàn, which made people feel so weak that it was unbelievable.
While Zhang Dong was speechless, Lin Ling gritted his teeth with a red face and said softly: Brother Zhang, please, if you have a solution, can you help us?
Faced with the weak pleas of the two sisters Lin Yàn, the words of each other even felt like they were acting coquettish. The soft voice almost melted the bones of the person. Zhang Dong felt a little dizzy for a moment and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Zhang Dong's cell phone that he placed on the table suddenly rang.
The extremely strange ringtone immediately scared the person to death.
Xiao Yàn, wearing flowery clothes, comes here every spring.I asked Yànzi why you came. Yànzi said that there are eighteen bends of mountain roads here, nine roads and nine chains here...
Amid the rapid ringtone, a familiar and annoying name appeared on the mobile phone screen.
When Zhang Dong saw it, he immediately cursed in his heart: Cao Cao will be here!
This bitch hasn't been in contact for more than half a year, why do you think of calling me now?
You guy is considered a manifestation, but you are still a fucking dream?
I don’t believe you, you are determined to pay back the money!
Lin Yàn and the three girls were shocked by the ghost ringtone and no one spoke.
Zhang Dong took a deep breath, and as soon as he picked up his phone, he immediately cursed: Bastard, remember to find me Ah!Didn't it shut down all day?Fuck you, I owe you money and even disappear. What is the point of turning off your phone all day?Are you afraid that I will go to your house to pour paint?
Depend on!Dongzi, where did you get so angry?The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little guilty, but he cursed stubbornly.
I'm so angry!You guys, can't you cheat me enough?Zhang Dong was talking, standing at the pavilion and swearing constantly, while carefully avoiding a distance in case Lin Yàn and others heard these conversations.
Big Head sneered and said awkwardly: Where is it!I had to pay back the card debt some time ago, and I was tight on my hands.You also know that I am getting poorer and poorer. I haven’t played mahjong for more than two months. Today I rarely come to relieve the itch at hand.
Say less nonsense!What's wrong?Zhang Dong kept thinking about it, but his tone was still very impatient.
When did you transfer this to Aaron?Big Head said carefully, almost awkward, as if it was because someone was listening.
It's been long since!Don’t pretend to be dead with me. If you go, no one will tell you?Zhang Dong took a sip of the cigarette hard and said bluntly: You know how poor I was some time ago, and now I am almost running away.You should pay back the 10,000 yuan soon, or I will find a late night and go to your unit to write a blood letter and hang it!
Don't Ah, I'm really tight on my hands recently!Datou almost cried and said: I have some spare money to play mahjong, but I didn’t expect to lose so badly again.I am not very familiar with Aaron, and he has deducted my work permit and ID card now.
Zhang Dong thought to himself: This grandson lost money again!
Along and I have a good relationship. This fat man probably didn't know what to do when he went there at the beginning. Along asked him to beat him when he saw that he was my regular customer. Unexpectedly, this fat man beat him without much money. Now he probably owes a lot of debt.
How much do you lose?Zhang Dong's mind changed and began to think about his ideas.
More than 20,000.Big Head said weakly.
This happened to be delivered to the door. Datou works at the Provincial TV General Station. It should be said that his family is from the TV station and from the newspapers. They are not very powerful, but the older generation has a strong foundation and a large number of younger generations. They are really a local tyrant in this circle.
However, Big Head is good at prostitution and gambling. The salary of nearly 10,000 yuan a month is not enough to spend. It is not counted as other bonuses, allowances, etc., and owes a lot of money outside. If his wife was not a senior supervisor, his job was to review the news and have a strong personality, he would probably have lost all his family.
In that circle, Datou is famous. Although his wife is strict in control, he lives a hard life, at least his wife is rich. If something happens to a prostitute, her family will probably break the ground. If there is a small gambling, his wife will still use the money to pay off the debt. This is also the reason why Zhang Dong was willing to let him owe money.
After having an idea in his mind, Zhang Dong immediately pretended to be embarrassed and said: No?Big Head Brother, the old debt has not been fresh, you want me to bear it, right?
You are familiar with Aaron, just say it.Datou said confidently: Don’t you know how much I earn in a month?Besides, my money is all in my wife's place, are you afraid that I will run away?
Hold!
The money is with your wife!
It’s better to say that your wife has money.
Zhang Dong cursed in his heart, then looked at Xu Hanlan. He wanted to speak directly, but after thinking about it, he still held back. If the matter was too easy to solve, he could not raise the price with Xu Hanlan, but he sent it to his door to beg for someone, and he was afraid that the big-headed lion would speak loudly. In short, it would be of no benefit to speak rashly. At least, the noise cannot be heard now.
Zhang Dong thought for a moment, asked Datou to let Along answer the phone, and then whispered: Brother Long, you should return the account to the customer with cash first, and this account is on my head.
No!Along said in a hoarse voice: Dongzi, it’s not that I don’t believe you. If you speak, I will owe you as much as I have. Don’t say 20,000 yuan, I won’t blink even if it’s 200,000 yuan.But you don’t need to help Datou take this debt. Who doesn’t know that he is a bad bet in this circle!
It doesn't matter, I'm sure about him.Zhang Dong pondered for a moment and instructed: Return the work permit to him, but the ID card must be deducted first. Also, let him sign an IOU, this is the rule.
Well, OK.Although Aaron didn't know what Zhang Dong wanted to do, he still didn't ask much.
Are you still fighting?Zhang Dong asked tentatively, thinking: The 50,000 I borrowed from him was remitted yesterday, and now the new debt is on the rise again, alas!
Although it is borrowed and paid back, it is not difficult to borrow again. Zhang Dong has been in such a long time. Although he has no money, he has credibility and it is not difficult to borrow money. But his most fear is that he is hiding money from others, afraid of owing favors, and suddenly not having the ability to repay debts. He can't help but laugh in his heart that his character is actually very noble.
Still here.He stopped first without money. Now he lacked three and one is missing. I was waiting for him to pay back the money before I could go down by myself.Aaron seemed to walk away a little, his voice becoming less noisy.
Give him cash and raise up 50,000 yuan to let him continue to fight.Zhang Dong hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: The creditor of the IOU writes my name, remember to press the fingerprint.
Dongzi, isn't it necessary?Aaron kindly advised.
Along is one of the few brothers that Zhang Dong can talk to. When he was having a lot of messy people, he may not talk a lot. Along is considered one. Although it is not a relationship that can be lost, they are both easy to talk to each other in terms of money.
Datou gambles when he has money, loses the bet, and immediately spends money to prostitution when he wins the bet. Even if he can make up for it, the money can't be resisted so much. Zhang Dong naturally understood in his heart and was grateful to Ah Long for his kindness, but he still insisted: It doesn't matter, I know all this in my heart. Just give him money and let him play there with peace of mind.
clear.Aaron didn't ask any more questions and agreed immediately.
I'll send you the money these two days.Zhang Dong felt comfortable. After all, there were still people who thought about him so much. Although he had many friends, there were not many friends like Aaron who had a heart-to-heart relationship.
No, I'm not tight on my hands.Aaron said: Okay, you have spoken, so that's it.After handling the matter there, I will come back soon. Brothers are waiting for you to have a good meal.
no problem!Zhang Dong smiled and chatted for a few more before hanging up the phone.
How is things going on?As soon as Zhang Dong returned to his seat, Xu Hanlan couldn't wait to ask.
