Zheng an knows that misappropriation of public funds is wrong, that things will be sentenced if they are exposed, and that his life will be ruined, but he has no way. His parents died early in his family. The two brothers depend on each other. It''s not easy to get into today''s job. He couldn''t watch his brother''s company go bankrupt. He wanted to misappropriate it first and fill it up when the company turns around. No one will find out. But he didn''t expect that the money had been wasted. He was ready. The worst consequence was to go to prison himself. But he didn''t expect someone to put this check in his hand today.
It''s not usury, but it''s not charity.
Zheng an held the check in his hand, a thin piece of paper, but it was too heavy to pick it up.
He has been in officialdom for more than ten years. He has seen people in the old capital of the world, and he has become good at flattering. Today, for the first time, I feel blood fever.
"Xia Dong..." Zheng an didn''t know what to say. Zheng Kui also flushed his eyes and looked moved.
Xia Shao sat on the sofa and looked at them. In fact, the two brothers didn''t have to thank her so much. She had some purpose, so she didn''t want to accept their thanks. She just said, "sit down. I hope Zheng can always answer the question I just asked. Your company is not well run. Which company benefits?"
Zheng Kui is not a fool. When Xia Shao asks, he is obviously saying that someone has poisoned him. His opponent''s company is the most suspicious.
Seeing that Xia Shao had something to ask, the two brothers had to sit down and answer Xia Shao''s questions no matter how grateful they were, "Our company is a restaurant. I usually have my brother''s contacts, and there has always been no shortage of people. A year ago, the passenger flow began to decrease inexplicably. Later, I renovated the restaurant and invited famous chefs to come. There are still few customers. Near my restaurant, there are also several restaurants with their own characteristics and customers. There must be competition, but I have opened eight branches in Beijing for several years, so I won''t be overwhelmed by them. For example If I have to say something strange, I think of one. The restaurant was newly opened last year. The boss is an outsider, and his contacts in the capital are not as good as me, nor as good as those around him. The location of his store is also more biased than ours. At that time, I felt that he might not be able to do it, and he closed down for one more year. Unexpectedly, he was fine, and my hotel began to operate poorly. He was I didn''t propose to buy the restaurant under my hand, but I think the closure of my restaurant should be good for my peers, but his situation makes me feel strange. Xia Dong, do you think he hurt me? "
Zheng Kui didn''t feel suspicious at first. The more he said it, the more he felt it was that person. His expression was very angry. He wasn''t a vegetarian. If he was that person, he would definitely make him go!
"Is the boss a man?" Xia Shao didn''t answer.
Zheng Kui was stunned and nodded, "it''s a man. What''s the problem?"
Xia Shao droops his eyes. Of course there is a problem. Women usually practice Gu Shu.
Of course, it doesn''t rule out helping others. However, Gu Shu is different from helping others gather money with Feng Shui. Cat Ghost Gu should be the money finally transferred to the demagogue.
If it is this restaurant, there is only one explanation. The boss behind it may be a woman.
"Your restaurant has seen fewer tourists this year. Have you observed where these tourists have gone?" Xia Shao asked again.
"It can''t be said that they all went there, but his business is really booming. Many of my customers have passed by." Zheng kuiyue said more and more affirmatively and angrily, "OK! It''s him!"
"Mr. Zheng, ask a personal question. How much can you make a profit in a year when your eight restaurants are booming?" Xia Shao raised his eyes and asked.
Zheng Kui was stunned. If someone asked him, he would not reveal it. But the girl in front of him had just saved him from fire and water, and her friendship of delivering charcoal in snow was different. Moreover, she had another identity.
He can''t look up to the assets of Huaxia group. Naturally, he doesn''t have to guard against her like his peers.
"I''m not afraid of Xia Dong''s jokes. When my eight restaurants have a good year, it''s no problem to make a profit of seven or eight million a year. The evil emperor haunts. Please be careful! The latest chapter. Even in a bad year, the profit is half of this number." Zheng Kui said.
Xia Shao looked down and thought deeply.
She didn''t make a final decision, but after meditation, she said, "OK, I know the general situation. Don''t judge it easily. I''ll tell you when there are results."
Xia Shao got up. "You can leave or sit here for a while. There is a health preserving Feng Shui Bureau in the club, which can regulate your body."
Zheng an and Zheng Kui have little money now. Naturally, they can''t afford the high membership fees of Huayuan private club. They are not members of the club now. Xia Shao only gave Zheng an a business card and asked him to make an appointment at the club on the night of the dance.
When Xia Shao said this, Zheng an and Zheng Kui were very moved and got up to thank him. Xia Shao waved his hand and left with Xu Tianyin first.
Gu Shu is different from Feng Shui. If Feng Shui is used to collect money, the yin-yang Aura will change. Xia Shao just needs to go to the other party''s restaurant to have a look. However, if Gu Shu is used, it is not easy to catch the person under Gu.
When Xia Shao got on the bus, he said, "elder martial brother, help me check the behind the scenes boss of that restaurant."
"OK." Xu Tianyin nodded.
Xia Shao was silent for a while and said, "go to Jingcheng University and go to Professor Zhou''s house first."
Xia Shao went to Professor Zhou''s house to send the amulet just drawn. She drew three pictures, two for Zheng an and Zheng Kui brothers, and one for Pan Lao''s son.
Xia Shao didn''t go to the hospital to deliver it in person because she couldn''t solve the Gu at the first time, so she didn''t want to be thanked. I had to bother Professor Zhou to send it. After the person who poisoned the poison was found out and the poison was completely removed, it was not too late to see the pan family.
Professor Zhou''s family is free today, and the scholars of the metaphysics Research Association rest today.
Xia Shao went upstairs alone and learned that Pan Lao''s son was getting better. He had been discharged and went home for rest.
Professor Zhou is very interested in Xia Shao''s talisman. Unfortunately, Xia Shao doesn''t have much time to talk about it today. She didn''t say in detail that Pan Lao''s son was a Chinese insect. She only asked the old professor to help deliver the talisman to pan Lao''s son day and night.
Just before he left, he asked, "Professor, do you know what company Pan''s son runs in the United States?"
Professor Zhou was stunned. He didn''t know why Xia Shao asked about it, but he still thought about it and replied: "I heard pan Lao mention it once, as if it was import and export trade. I knew that the company was not small without asking."
Xia Shao drooping eyes, import and export trade? Not a restaurant?
"Has Pan mentioned the company''s assets?"
Professor Zhou was stunned again. "There are twenty or thirty million yuan. I just heard that the details are not clear. Xiaoshaozi, what do you ask? Is it related to old pan''s son?"
"Professor, I''m checking this, but I didn''t find out the result. I told you that you''re worried too. I''d better tell you when the result is available." Xia Shao said, then got up and left, and had an idea in her heart.
This man uses cat ghosts to harm people and seek money, but it is not a big consortium. So it''s a thoughtful one. The money of big consortia is not so easy to swallow. It takes a long time to cast spells, and these people have contacts. They may also invite feng shui masters to see through the Gu Shu. It''s better to make more with less.
After leaving Professor Zhou''s house, Xia Shao went directly to Jingcheng University.
At present, it is holiday time, and there are still many students at school. At lunchtime, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin took a walk in the campus hand in hand, harvesting countless eyes along the way. The more people see, the tighter Xu Tianyin''s hand is. Xu Tianyin doesn''t let Xia Shao go until he goes downstairs to the girls'' dormitory of the biology department.
Xia Shao went upstairs, but it was not easy to find Yi Ni as a mother in the future.
This time she was lucky. Yi Ni was in the dormitory.
It was still hot at noon in early October in Beijing. All the girls in the dormitory looked listless, except Yi Ni, whose eyes were clear and looked like a knife poking, which made people awake and sleepless.
"I heard you came to me?" Yi Ni asked when she came to the corridor. She looked at Xia Shao with a smile today, but she still looked at it. "Didn''t we agree that the well water doesn''t invade the river?"
"We agreed. But I found that someone was poisoning people for money and murder. Do you think I should come to you?" Xia Shao leaned against the wall and smiled.
Yi Ni''s face sank immediately with some laughter. She poked with a small knife and spoke like a bean jumping out. She was crisp, "who do you say murders money? Who''s bad money is worth my poison to kill him!"
"I didn''t say it was you." Xia Shao still smiled. "To be honest, I don''t think your cultivation is enough to raise cats and ghosts."
Although I haven''t seen Yi Ni for a few times, Xia Shao is still a little sure about the girl''s temperament. If she did something, she doesn''t seem to dare to admit it.
She disdains lying.
But Xia Shao is not sure if Yi Ni knows this person. After all, both people who can poison magic are in the capital. It''s a coincidence. Therefore, she still tried with words.
Yi Ni''s face changed!
"What are you talking about?!" her face was not pale, but her eyes were cold and fierce. She always thought she looked at people very hard before. Now she knows what is fierce.
"Have you seen the cat ghost? Where did you see it? Tell me quickly!" she stepped forward and reached out to grab Xia Shao''s wrist.
Xia Shao is sensitive. Step back! At this time, two girls came up from the stairs in the corridor. It was obvious that they were from the dormitory here. They were stunned when they saw Xia Shao. Then they saw that there was something wrong between Xia Shao and Yi Ni, so they stopped and didn''t know whether to move forward.
When Xia Shao saw that this was not the place to talk, he lowered his voice and said to Yi Ni, "go down and talk."
They went downstairs, still in the mall where they met last night.
Xu Tianyin sat on a bench in the distance, not close. Yi Ni looked at him and seemed to see that his vitality was from Qimen, but she ignored him and asked Xia Shao, "tell me about the cat ghost!"
Xia Shao only felt that the girl''s temperament was really strong and straightforward. She didn''t know how to write soft at all. But she didn''t mind, just smiled, "it seems that you know this man. That''s easy. Make a deal. I''ll tell you about the cat ghost, and you tell me who this man is."
"Why should I tell you!" is not a question. Yi Ni is firm and doesn''t want to tell Xia Shao.
"Then why should I tell you about the cat ghost?" Xia Shao raised his eyebrow.
"Because it''s our sect''s business. Tell me, I''ll do something for you. I don''t owe you." Yi Ni said briskly.
"But I just want to know who this person is." Xia Shao picked up her eyebrows and saw Yi Ni frown when she heard this. She smiled. It doesn''t matter. "If you change your mind, I''ll see you here at midnight tonight. I have a good thing to show you."
Now the Cat Ghost is in the Jinyu Linglong tower, but it''s noon at this time. Letting it out is tantamount to killing it. Xia Shao came here today. She just took a chance to see if Yi Ni was there. Unexpectedly, she really met her. But it''s not appropriate to let the cat ghost out now. Naturally, it''s going to be at night.
Xia Shao turned and left. No matter how anxious Yi Ni was in the back, she only waved her hand and didn''t look back. She walked away slowly, "of course, if you don''t come, I also have eyebrows and eyes. I can check it myself."
Xia Shao can find out by herself, but even if she finds out, it will take some time to find out the man''s sect. Now there are many worries outside Xuanmen. She hurt the cat ghost, which obviously offended the caster. If she wants to fight with this person, she has to find out whether there is power behind the other party and whether it may bring trouble to Xuanmen.
That''s why she had to ask Yi Ni.
Now, it seems that she''s right.
Maybe there will be an answer tonight.
Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin then left Jingcheng University. Now they fell in love with the feeling of cooking at home, so they drove to buy vegetables and went back to the villa to cook.
Xia Shao has nothing to do in the afternoon. She plans to go to the company after dinner. Now the company is comprehensive. The war in Beijing is very important. As long as the war is successful, the road will be much smoother in the future.
But Xia Shao didn''t go to the company today.
Before she left, she received a phone call - a strange number.
Few people know Xia Shao''s private phone number. Those who can call her mobile phone either have the wrong number or
Xia Shao finally picked up the phone, then picked his eyebrow and showed an interesting smile.
Xu tianzhe.
Xia Shao was not surprised that Xu tianzhe could find her private phone. Xu tianzhe asked Xia Shao to meet at a senior club in the city. Xia Shao naturally had no reason to refuse. She put down the phone and told Xu Tianyin that Xu Tianyin wrinkled his sword eyebrow and held Xia Shao''s hand, "I''ll accompany you."
"Of course you should accompany me." Xia Shao smiled, "but just accompany me outside the club. I''ll go in and talk to him myself. Don''t worry, I can handle it."
……
The club where Xu tianzhe asked Xia Shao to meet and Huayuan private club are completely two styles, modern and dignified.
The manager of the club came to meet Xia Shao in person, showing great enthusiasm, shaking hands and greeting, and personally took Xia Shao to Xu tianzhe''s place all the way.
Xu tianzhe waited for Xia Shao in his reception room. There was a pot of tea in front of him. When Xia Shao entered the door, he smelled the familiar aroma of Biluochun.
"I heard that Miss Xia likes to drink Biluochun. I hope I''m right." Xu tianzhe smiled as soon as Xia Shao sat down.
He still smiled modestly and politely, but Xia Shao just smiled, "I hope mayor Xu''s reception today is not just this cup of tea."
Xia Shao comes straight to the point, but Xu tianzhe just laughs. He picked up the tea and drank it. When he put it down, he lowered his eyes and said, "yesterday, my mother was a little angry."
He didn''t mention the official who died in the car accident, but Hua Fang. Xia Shao just smiled and raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Just some?"
Xu tianzhe''s drooping eyes didn''t move. His eyebrows were a little deep. After a while, he lifted his eyes and looked at Xia Shao.
Indeed, when he got home last night, his mother was very angry. The words were all dissatisfied with Xia Shao. From his birth to his performance at the family banquet yesterday, he made a big attack.
He was so big that he saw her get so angry for the first time.
All this is because of what the girl did deliberately at the dinner yesterday.
"Miss Xia, I think you really don''t consider the consequences when you do things." Xu tianzhe smiled slightly and looked at Xia Shao. "You beat LAN LAN at the ball and forced my mother to leave at the family banquet. You want to enter Xu''s house, I know. But what I see is that you are making enemies."
"Oh? What about mayor Xu? He is also the enemy I set up?" Xu tianzhe calmed down, just not mentioning the official, but Xia Shao didn''t follow him around and cut to the theme.
Xu tianzhe was slightly stunned. He thought she would at least explain the reason for doing so, but she had no official detours. This made him frown, "Miss Xia, I know there''s a saying that art experts are bold. You have some unpredictable skills, I know. But this doesn''t mean you can do whatever you want. If you marry into the Xu family, we''ll be a family. But you offended my mother and LAN LAN. There are people in the Xu family who don''t like you. Do you think you''ll be comfortable if you marry in?"
Xia Shao chuckled at this and gave Xu tianzhe a funny look. It seemed that he was naive. "Mayor Xu, I think you should know that in the face of absolute power, the so-called ''dislike'' is just a child''s emotion."
Xu tianzhe naturally understood what Xia Shao meant. She didn''t care whether Hua Fang and Liu Lanxi liked her at all. In her eyes, their dislike could not pose any threat to her, but was a child''s trick.
This made Xu tianzhe frown deeper. He stared at Xia Shao for a while, finally took out a stack of data from his side and threw it in front of Xia Shao. The data spread out in front of Xia Shao, page by page, full of tragic photos of the death of the official who died in the car accident, "Miss Xia, I think you are wrong. The absolute power in the world is the national law. No matter who you are and commit a crime, you can''t escape the punishment of the law."
Xia Shao''s eyes fell on those photos. Listening to Xu tianzhe''s words, the corners of his lips slowly raised with profound meaning, "Mayor Xu, I never doubt the national law. Just because I believe, I know that the law speaks of evidence. Dare you ask, do you have evidence?"
Xu tianzhe lowered his eyes slightly and smiled when he raised his eyes. "I have no evidence, but I know this is what Miss Xia did. Isn''t that why you were at the ball to tell me this?"
"What did mayor Xu want to tell me today?" Xia Shao picked his eyebrow.
"It should be. What does Miss Xia want to tell me?" Xu tianzhe smiled and resumed his modest and polite attitude. "If Miss Xia did this, we have room to talk. If not, why should we talk more?"
They looked at each other in silence.
After a while, Xia Shao smiled slowly and admitted generously, "yes, I did it. Now, can we talk?"
Xu tianzhe looked at Xia Shao for a moment and smiled slowly, "yes, you can talk."
But when he spoke, he threw something from his body, threw it on the pile of accident information, and smiled.
Xia Shao drooped his eyes. Seeing something like that, it seemed to be a portable recorder. She lifted her eyes slightly and saw Xu tianzhe''s spare eyes and modest and polite smile, which seemed to be waiting for her reaction.
Xia Shao''s response to him was silence. After silence, he smiled and laughed sarcastically, "Mayor Xu, I don''t understand what you mean. What is this?"
"Miss Xia is a smart person. Why do you pretend to be stupid at this time?" Xu tianzhe melted into the sofa behind, and there was a comfortable smile between his eyebrows. "Why don''t you open it?"
Xia Shao gently raised his eyebrows and smiled more and more sarcastically. He didn''t look at the thing on the table, but looked at Xu tianzhe, who was better than him, "yes. Why don''t you open it?"
Xu tianzhe looked at her and was slightly stunned. Then he sat up straight, stretched out his hand to take it back, stared at Xia Shao and opened it.
In the recorder, what came out was not the conversation between the two, but a harsh Zila
Xu tianzhe frowned and looked down at the recorder in his hand. He closed it and tried to open it again, but what he heard was still a disturbing noise.
There was nothing but a harsh noise.
Xia Shao melted into the sofa and smiled.
Xu tianzhe looked up at her, the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes were only deep. He doesn''t know what''s going on. Is it Xia Shao''s ghost or her good luck. But since his intention was exposed, he didn''t intend to hide it any more, but snorted and smiled, "Miss Xia, don''t be happy too early. You forget there is surveillance in this building."
"Mayor Xu, I think you should look at the surveillance first." Xia Shao''s expression was cold.
Xu tianzhe frowned. After watching Xia Shao for a while, he got up indefinitely and went into the inner room to call bad love: little lover, eat you! Full text reading. But then, he turned his head and looked at Xia Shao. In a moment, it was as frightening as electricity, and the bottom of his eyes was deep and surging.
He just called the manager of the club to ask about the monitoring. The manager told him that the monitor had just broken, and all the pictures seemed to be disturbed and could not be seen clearly. Not only his room, but also the whole club.
Xu tianzhe put down the phone, came back with a cold face, sat down and looked at Xia Shao.
Xia Shao sat silent, smiling and mocking.
Although Xu tianzhe has only seen two sides of this person, Xia Shao has already seen that this person is very deep in the city. Such a person is good at planning and controlling the overall situation. He won''t love the feeling of being threatened. So he must fight back and pull back a city, even if he holds a handle in his hand, and restrain each other from now on.
It''s better to contain each other than to be threatened.
When Xia Shao was in Hong Kong and went to century real estate building, Qu Tao also wanted to use surveillance video to calculate her. Once, Xia Shao was more careful in this regard. When she entered the club, she gently buckled the dragon scale and put the Yin Sha release into the whole building. People will not be affected in such an environment for a short time, but in places with heavy Yin Qi, the signal will be disturbed. This is the same reason that the radio signal in the car is always bad when driving through the cemetery at night.
Xu tianzhe is not a member of Qimen. Xia Shao really can''t think of anything else except monitoring and recording.
Sure enough, he used this trick.
Xia Shao sneered, but Xu tianzhe looked at her with a cold face, "how did you do it?"
This sentence was no longer a trap to lure her to confess. Even if she said it, only he could hear it now, and there would be no chance to take control of her.
"Mayor Xu doesn''t need to know how to do it. You just need to know that there are other people in the world besides power and interests and the status of the Xu family in the eyes of the world." Xia Shao''s eyes became cold.
Xu tianzhe stared at her seriously, "you want me to support you to marry into the Xu family."
"No." Xia Shao looked at him indifferently, "I just want you to be your mayor and your second son of the Xu family. Don''t worry about what you shouldn''t do."
Xu tianzhe frowned.
"I don''t need your support." Xia Shao sneered, looked out of the window and fell in the warm sunshine in the afternoon, far away, "Xu family, Xu family. You take the Xu family too high and too seriously. In my eyes, Xu Tianyin is the Xu family. If he is not in the Xu family, a dirty door with only interests in your eyes, I don''t rare to enter!"
Xu tianzhe looked at Xia Shao. The girl''s eyes were brightly dyed by the warm sun on the windowsill. After so many years of experience in officialdom, Xu tianzhe knew that she didn''t lie.
"Some people in the Xu family don''t like me, and my life will be uncomfortable after I pass the door?" Xia Shao smiled and mocked. "You take yourself too seriously. I think you can''t stop it. I think you''re not comfortable, can you stop it?"
Xu tianzhe''s face tightened for the first time, and his face was very ugly.
Although the words are not pleasant to hear, they seem to be true.
"But I want you to be more comfortable. Because you are his family and he loves you, he still values you." Xia Shao took back her eyes and looked at Xu tianzhe. For a moment, her eyes were painful, but also cold, "He values you, I only value him. If you let him live well, I''ll let you live well. Which of you makes him uncomfortable, and I make your family uncomfortable."
Xia Shao stood up and looked at Xu tianzhe before he left. "If you are not his brother, you are the same as the person on the data today."
A digression
Short ending, fill in later, two or three hundred words
