Chapter 1113 Persistence Next
Wen Haonan was pleased to accept Yuan Xiaoshang's invitation. He went to the Crown Hotel with Zhang Yang. From afar, he saw Yuan Xiaogong standing in front of the door waiting. Wen Haonan said, "Do you have a good relationship with him?"
Zhang Yang said, "It's okay that I saved his son. He has always regarded me as a savior."
Wen Haonan said, "You have done a lot of good things."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's always better to be kind to others than to be enemies."
Wen Haonan said: "You should also have a choice to make friends. [Zhongzhong] There is an old saying that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. If you are not careful, I'm afraid it will cause unexpected trouble." Although his words are good to people, his tone is not uncomfortable.
Zhang's official can naturally hear the meaning of Wen Haonan's words. He smiled and did not argue with Wen Haonan. In Wen Haonan's eyes, there may be many shortcomings in his behavior. As a brother, he should also give himself some teachings.
Yuan Xiaoshang's smile is neither humble nor arrogant. Few businessmen can show his state in front of the superiors, which is just right. Yuan Xiaoshang took the initiative to go up and stretched out his hand to Wen Haonan: "Wen Brigade, welcome!"
Although Wen Haonan wanted to refuse Yuan Xiaoshang in his heart, he did not do so. He shook hands with Yuan Xiaoshang, but did not speak. His eyes accurately conveyed Yuan Xiaoshang an arrogant and contemptuous look.
Yuan Xiaoshang was not angry. With Wen Haonan's origin and status, he did have a reason to look down on him. He enthusiastically invited the two into the Palace Hotel.
Wen Haonan looked around the environment of the hotel as he walked and said to Zhang Yang, "It's well decorated. Huā has a lot of money, right?
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "It was just renovated last year, and it cost 15 million."
Wen Haonan didn't look at him and said with a smile, "Is it very profitable to open a hotel?"
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "It's man-made. In the same business, some people make a lot of money, and some people lose money."
Zhang Yang said, "Mr. Yuan has a business word in his name, and he has done a lot in business."
Wen Haonan smiled and said nothing.
Enter the Jade Pavilion of the Palace Hotel. The interior is magnificently decorated, and this is the best room in the hotel. Wen Haonan frowned and said, "Three people don't need to be so extravagant to eat, right?"
Wen Haonan said, "I'm a businessman. So I have always mistakenly believed that a little extravagance can show my sincerity.
Zhang Yang said, "The dishes are simpler and more exquisite."
Yuan Xiaoshang smiled and said, "Zhang [Shu] Don't worry, I've already arranged it."
Although the private room is very large. However, there is only one table of the Eight Immortals in the room. The original round table that can seat 20 people has been removed in advance. Yuan Xiaoshang is very good at arranging it. His purpose is to get closer to Wen Haonan through this contact, but he doesn't want to use that round table with amazing diameter to widen the distance between them
Wen Haonan looked at the Eight Immortals table in front of him. The table was not eye-catching at first glance, but it was extraordinary from wood to carving. The dark paint color showed its age. Wen Haonan rubbed his palm on the Eight Immortals table and whispered, "Is this table old?"
Zhang Yang's fingers knocked on the table, looked carefully and said, "It should be an antique."
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "I like to collect Ming and Qing furniture. This table is from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It is said to be a royal thing. Now the market value should be above one million. When he said this, he said it lightly and didn't show off at all.
Wen Haonan said, "Mr. Yuan is really rich."
Yuan Xiaoshang smiled and said, "I like to share the best things with my friends, no matter how precious it is. I won't be stingy."
The official Zhang looked at Yuan Xiaoshang and sighed in his heart that you are *** naked to show off your wealth. Wen Haonan was already staring at you and was looking for your fault, but you dared to do this. Obviously, I can't find myself. However, Zhang Yang thought that Yuan Xiaoshang had always been deep-minded, and he should have another deep meaning to do so.
Wen Haonan smiled and said, "It's really happy to be your friend. Zhang Yang, you really have a good way in making friends."
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "Zhang [Shu] is not my friend. He is my benefactor. For the sake of my friend, I can share the best things with him. For the benefactor, I can sacrifice my life for him." When he said this, his expression was very sincere, which made Zhang Daguan's heart a little warm.
Wen Haonan said, "These four chairs are also from the Ming Dynasty?"
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "Yes, the total value of the Ming and Qing furniture I collected is nearly 100 million yuan."
Wen Haonan looked into Yuan Xiaoshang's eyes: "It's really an astronomical figure. It's so profitable to open a hotel!"
Yuan Xiaoshang smiled and said, "Many people question the way of my property, but no one has questioned my vision. The most important thing in doing business is the investment vision. Take the tables and chairs in front of us as an example, one table and eight chairs. Now the market value is about five million. When I bought it, it was only 100,000 yuan. I think I'm bragging. I have bills to check. I can't do smuggling drugs with a profit of 50 times, right?
Only then did Zhang Daguan understand Yuan Xiaoshang's intention.
At this time, the waiter delivered the wine and vegetables. Yuan Xiaoshang opened a bottle of Maotai wine and was ready to pour it on Wen Haonan, but Wen Haonan waved his hand and said, "I quit!"
Zhang Daguan was slightly stunned, and Wen Haonan used this method to refuse.
Yuan Xiaoshang poured a glass of wine for Zhang Yang, and he also filled the glass himself. He picked up the glass and said, "Welcome to the two leaders."
Wen Hao picked up the teacup in front of him and squeezed it. Qingcha said indifferently, "What do you want to say when you invite me to dinner?" Wen Haonan is not interested in going around with Yuan Xiaoshang.
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "I know that the Wen Brigade has been investigating my second brother's case recently. I invited you to come over through Zhang [Book] today. I want to communicate with you. Can you not go to my second sister-in-law?"
Wen Haonan said, "The official business has nothing to do with you, does it?"
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "What does the Wen Brigade want to know? Just ask me. My second sister-in-law doesn't know as much about my second brother as I do."
Wen Haonan laughed. He slowly dropped the teacup and said, "Are you afraid that I will find out something?"
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "For us businessmen, we are more afraid of industrial and commercial tax than afraid of **."
Wen Haonan said, "That depends on whether you have violated the law or not!"
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "Law is important, and human feelings are also very important. These four words are not learned in vain. Wen Da, it is important for you to handle the case, but should it be more humane, and should you take into account the feelings of others?"
The smile on Wen Haonan's face suddenly converged: "Are you teaching me to do things?"
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "I dare not. I'm just saying a few words to you as a family member of the deceased."
Wen Haonan said, "Does your second brother have a mistress named Liu Tian?"
Yuan Xiaoshang nodded.
"Liu Tian personally admitted to me that Yuan Xiaonong has been engaged in smuggling crimes for many years."
Yuan Xiaoshang's expression is still calm: "This woman's words may not be credible. Can she come up with evidence?"
Wen Haonan said, "Without evidence, I won't say it at all!"
Yuan Xiaoshang looked at Wen Haonan and said, "In the eyes of the Wen Brigade, have you determined that our brother is a criminal?"
Wen Haonan sighed and said, "It's black or white. Only the person concerned knows best. If you are afraid of affecting your family, then don't do bad things. Now all the evil consequences are the causes planted at the beginning, and the causes will have consequences. Yuan Xiaoshang, I advise you that turning back is the shore." After saying that, Wen Haonan stood up and left his seat.
Zhang Daguan didn't expect that the meal would end so soon. Wen Haonan didn't even eat a mouthful of food from beginning to end. Zhang Yang chased out of the gate. Wen Haonan stopped and said, "I'm leaving!"
Zhang Yang said, "Brother Haonan, what's going on today?"
Wen Haonan said meaningfully, "Some meals can't be eaten, and some people can't be handed in. Zhang Yang, black and white can never be confused."
Zhang Yang said, "Have you found the evidence?"
Wen Haonan said: "Before coming here, Liu Tian has been taken away and protected by us. As for the Yuan brothers, I already have some evidence in my hand. Zhang Yang, please remember that no matter who violates the law, I will never give him any face, even my relatives are no exception." After saying that, Wen Haonan stopped a taxi and quickly disappeared into the night.
Zhang Yang returned to the Yuxi Pavilion. Yuan Xiaoshang was still sitting there, and the glass of wine in front of him had been drunk.
Zhang Yang sat down opposite him, picked up the bottle and poured a glass by himself. He took a sip of wine and said, "Have you done something wrong?"
"Anyone can do something wrong!" Yuan Xiaoshang said, his eyes always looked at the table: "A person has been doing bad things all his life, but as long as he has not been caught, he can establish the image of a righteous man in front of people. A person has done good deeds all his life, but the only bad thing he has done has been caught on the spot, then he is a bad There is not such a strict distinction." He raised his eyes and stared at Zhang Yang and said, "Wen Haonan's motive is not as simple as punishing evil."
Zhang Yang said, "Don't speak ill of him in front of me."
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "He is investigating you and collecting all the evidence against you. He wants to destroy you!"
Zhang Yang's heart was shocked, but his expression did not change at all. He smiled indifferently and said, "Xiao Shang, did you really encounter difficulties, that's why he came up with this strategy?"
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "I'm not alarmist, let alone deliberately instigating your relationship. Wen Haonan's arrival is just for destruction. There is no love in this person's heart, only hatred. My second brother is dead. Even if my second brother has committed a smuggling crime before his death, what can he do? The law can no longer sanction him. Does Wen Haonan think this matter can implicate me? Yuan Xiaoshang shook his head.
Zhang Yang said, "I now believe that Wen Haonan's suspicion of you is reasonable."
Yuan Xiaoshang said, "Do you think he caught the Xinglong account, really to investigate smuggling? What this can really affect the living, Su Rongtian of Xingang Branch, my eldest brother, you and Cheng Yandong.
Zhang Yang said, "I don't care what Wen Haonan wants to investigate. I just want to ask you, are you engaged in smuggling?"
Yuan Xiaoshang laughed. He shook his head and said, "Even on the day of death, I will say - no!"
