As long as Song Yanting was not in front of his brother, he claimed that he was the boss, and that he was number two. There was no one that he did not dare offend, and in the past two years, Guangzhou Residence had been developing rapidly, he often came here to do business, and when he was carrying his brother, he would dare interfere in any kind of smelly business, and the number of people he provoked was not just one or two. If not for Right Shore Merchant Union supporting him, he would have been beaten to death countless of times.
When the previous Patrol Officer of Guangdong was still around, he really wanted to take Song Yanting in his arms, one by one, to get the money, and their cooperation could be said to be extremely coordinated, but the current Patrol Officer Hu Xueyong was not so easy to talk to, as Song Yanting had been restraining himself recently, and was trying to think of a way to take him down.
Song Yanting was currently eating and drinking in a hall that was specially built for merchants to gather. This hall was famous for its business, the original owner of a few famous joint ventures had built it, and was used as a private place to eat, drink, and chat. Later on, Guangzhou became a gathering place for both internal and external merchants, and the hall's size grew larger and larger, and the form became more formal, showing that it was actually quite serious and proper.
Amongst these "their own people", there were also many people from the government. As usual, there were a few foreign merchants who were gathered together to drink wine and discuss business, as well as to discuss their future "win-win" development plans.
Song Yanting raised his wine cup to a man whose figure was a little too fat, "Master Yu, you have to give me the approval of the goods no matter what, the price is negotiable, after all, we are old friends."
I heard that he is famous for being ungrateful, and was also sent by the His Majesty. Didn't he say that he wants my life, and he even told you that, even if it's something that we can't handle in the past, it's not guaranteed that we'll be able to do it in the future. If the former Chief Patrol Officer Li doesn't rise up or down, it means that he was stabbed in the back by someone, and there's a lot of stuff going on in the government, and the His Majesty might send someone to specially investigate it, and once they do that it won't burn him down, so there won't be a good reason for him to do it.
Song Yanting looked down upon these timid officials. He did not have the same level of respect and reliance towards officers, giving them money to work for mutual gain like his brother did, he would cooperate if he had the guts, and kick them out if he did not, in this concept, there was no such thing as making things difficult for them, only making things difficult for them, or taking any risks when they were in charge.
Lord Yu, since you've taken advantage of the opportunity, you definitely can't be so cowardly. What Fellow Hu, do you think you can continue working here for the rest of your life? No matter how rigid you are, you still have to find a way to break his record.
Lord Yu had placed a heavy burden on him, as he felt that this person was desperate to earn money, and did not care about the lives of others. If this carried on, he would be dragged down to death one day.
Or say that some thoughts are not random, good bad spirits, when you have a bad premonition, this premonition is usually true.
When Master Gu found this place, he was enjoying the feast. This hall was not private, so it was not restricted to outsiders, as long as there was enough silver, they could enter easily. Master Gu was very generous, he threw out five hundred gold, and bowed to him along the way.
When he was walking in, he was met by a person who did not have much eyes, and either that person was blind or had accidentally drank a cup of the burning knife which was unique to Great Chen. Gu Yun did not take it seriously and was about to continue walking, when he was suddenly hooked on the shoulder by the person.
After clearly seeing that face, Gu Yun immediately retracted the impulse to slap him to death.
"Gu Gu!" Gu Shenwei, is that you? Oh, I'm not dreaming, God must have brought you into my dream, thank God, thank God... "
"Yes." Gu Yun resisted the urge to slap him to death again, "If you recite another mistake, I'll beat you up."
"I-Gu Yun, it can't be wrong."
Gu Yun: "..."
He was still the same … Stupid.
"Martin, why did you come here?"
Martin was the merchant who was discussing business with Song Yanting that day, and they got to know each other very early. It was a long story, but because Gu Yun had been thinking about politics for the past few years, he did not meddle in some things, and he did not interact with Martin for a long time. Gu Yun did not do anything about it, but it was obvious that Martin was overthinking.
When Martin saw him, most of the alcohol had also dissipated, carrying him along with it. If it was Sheng Luan, he would have long been smashed to the ground by Gu Yun's fist.
Gu Gu, Yun, I like Great Chen. I like this vast land, and I like the people here even more, especially you, so I came here. I want to share the good things here with our country.
"Speak human words!" Gu Yun rubbed his eyebrows in worry.
"I'm here to discuss business."
"You want to talk about business? Aren't you afraid that it'll stun you? Tell me, who did you talk to? "
Speaking of which, Martin was in high spirits, he was beaming with joy, "To be with a boss with the surname Song, I heard that he came from some soy sauce, he looks very famous, do you want me to introduce him?"
Soy Sauce... Help...
Gu Yun snorted, "Forget about that soy sauce gang of yours, just tell me where Song Yanting is, and save me the trouble of asking around."
Martin pointed upwards, "That is the innermost room of the highest levels. I just came out, so you all know each other.
Gu Yun pulled him back, "What were you doing just now?"
Martin was startled, "Oh yes, I came out to the toilet."
"Then you can stay here for a bit longer. When you're done, go home, don't come over and help." Gu Yun patted his shoulder, "I have something important to do today, I'll treat you to tea again later."
In the end, he still couldn't hold back the urge to urinate. He watched Gu Yun walk far away with his legs crossed and then ran to the toilet.
When even Sheng Luan didn't ask him to come over, it was even more so for people like Martin who couldn't be confused like him. After all, Song Yanting wasn't someone who could be easily dealt with.
When Gu Yun came in, everyone was stunned. Firstly, they had never seen an old man who dared to come in without even greeting him. Secondly, other than Song Yanting, no one knew where this goddess came from.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Gu?" Song Yanting stood up first, "What wind brought you here in Guangdong?!"
Gu Yun curled his lips, "Second Master Song, you have to ridicule me. I am a proper commoner now, no one will stop me no matter where I go."
The two of them continued to ridicule each other over and over again, scaring everyone present to the point where they couldn't help but want to bury their heads under the table so that no one would see them.
The former, the young master of the Marquis Anfeng Palace, which part of him could not be outdone by Gu Yun? Forget about the past history of the eldest young master, when he was in the Minister, his name was actually "famous" outside, just two years ago, he had suffered greatly from Shen Family, and even the whole of Guangdong Province was shaken up because of it. At that time, this group of officials were all afraid of being implicated, they only heard that the Minister in the imperial court was ruthless and wanted to capture and kill whoever.
Just suddenly standing in front of him like this, it was so scary. The officials were colluding with him on the spot, how unlucky was he!
"Sigh, isn't this what it means to be an adult?" Gu Yun sat on the chair like a big boss, "What a coincidence, you are still staying here, you have levelled up in these two years right?"
Lord Yu chuckled dryly. He couldn't wait to go back and change his ancestor's surname. What was his surname ah? This uncle hadn't even seen him before, yet he could recognize him instantly. Wasn't this like seeing a ghost?
If you had to blame something, you can only blame his body size, but actually Gu Yun was just scaring him, "Master Yu, don't be afraid, I am not even a child, I have no relationship with anyone, you should eat and drink, I have personal matters to discuss with Second Master Song."
Was there such a thing as a private matter? With this posture, it was clear that there was no good to be done.
"Oh? If there's anything important, I'll have to trouble Master Gu to come over personally, and tell me to go to my residence. "
Gu Yun held the glass in both of his hands, and shook it slowly, "Didn't you send someone to visit us two days ago? You saw that you didn't inform me in advance, and just happened to be in my absence.
Song Yanting had such a thick face, that he couldn't even hold back from twitching. Two days ago, not a single one of his people had returned, and he knew that something must have happened, but Song Yanting did not take Gu Yun seriously either, so what if he treated his wife as he teased her in front of her? He, Song Yanting, had never been intimidated by the blade in his head before.
But he also didn't expect Gu Yun to find this place, in front of so many people, he obviously didn't have any good intentions. Even if it was the others, they wouldn't be afraid, nor did they want to be played around by him like a monkey in front of so many people.
"Why are you being so polite, Master Gu? What do we have to do with each other? I was the one who didn't greet you first, since we aren't in the right, let's meet another time."
Gu Yun raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't change days, let's do it today, I came here specifically today to express my sincerity. That day, my wife was the only one at home, the child couldn't even look at her, the person who offended you, Master Song shouldn't have thought about it, right?"
Song Yanting laughed dryly, "How could that be?"
If they were to pick a man, they would send someone over when they were not at home. If a normal person could not do this, then where could the little child go against another person's will, they must have done something to the child. Lord Gu was very courteous with his words for a long time, he must be here to settle debts.
Gu Yun pressed the wine cup in his hand onto the table, and a few drops of the dark red wine splashed out, "Second Master Song is so magnanimous, then I won't argue with you. I thought that you had broken off your relationship and would affect our relationship, but now it seems that I was just thinking too much."
Song Yanting could no longer hold back, he slammed the table and stood up, "What do you want!?"
Two words came out of Gu Yun's throat, "Take my life."
Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air.
