A red apricot climbs the wall

Chapter 25 Knowing for Profit

As soon as Zhong Yeli entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile. Many gamblers were also happy to see him come and greeted him one after another.

"Ms. Zhong, please come in." The shopkeeper made an invitation posture with a smile on his face.

Zhong Yeli closed the folding fan and patted it in the palm of his hand, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled. He nodded to the shopkeeper, and glanced sideways at the crowd slightly, which was a response. Then he walked freely and walked up to the second floor.

Su Siman sat not far from the stairs. Seeing him coming, he stood up slowly, shook his robe, and easily went up to talk to him.

"Brother Zhong." The voice is low.

Zhong Yeli tilted his head when he heard the sound and looked up in surprise at the scholar in front of him who was one head shorter than himself in men's clothes. He couldn't recognize him for a moment.

Su Siman only looked at him with a smile and said in a deliberately low voice, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Brother Zhong doesn't remember me?"

Zhong Yeli was stunned, and then recognized her and smiled cheerfully: "Why is it you?"

"I happened to come to the casino today to try my luck, but I met you. It's really fate." Su Siman covered his lips and coughed dryly.

Zhong Yeli naturally knew that she was talking nonsense, but he did not expose it. He patted the fan in his hand twice and raised his eyebrows to look at her, which was a little inquisitive.

Someone found him on the second floor and leaned on the carved armrest and waved down attentively: "Mr. Zhong, come up quickly. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

He looked up slightly and glanced at the man, and Zhong Yeli patted the fan in his hand twice.

"This is not a place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else." Su Siman no longer circled and was straightforward.

Zhong Yeli frowned slightly, and then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly: "When did you learn my trick?"

Su Siman knew what he was talking about and just pretended to be stupid, "What's your trick? I haven't seen you for months since I said goodbye to Liuli Town that day. I still want to thank you. I haven't found a chance."

"Don't say goodbye, this word is well used." Zhong Yeli commented, and his lips couldn't help laughing at himself. Su Siman would really take care of his face. That time, he obviously fled in confusion. If it hadn't been for the help of Bixi, he would probably have been taken back to Yaoyun Villa. At this time, she said the last two words, which clearly meant to show goodwill, which was interesting. After thinking about it, he squeezed his eyebrows and whispered, "What do you want to thank me for? Will that help you get out of the palace? Look, didn't I waste my effort? You're back again."

Su Siman heard the sarcasm in his words and couldn't help but feel ashamed. He suddenly couldn't hang up. He knew that it was useless to continue to talk nonsense with him. He simply made it clear and calmed down. Before he could open his mouth, he listened to the people upstairs urging him.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Zhong? Come up!" There was not only one who was watching upstairs, but also a few people next to the man, who were also urging Zhong Yeli to go up quickly.

Zhong Yeli patted the folding fan, turned around and walked leisurely, and went upstairs.

Su Siman grabbed his sleeve and said calmly, "I want to discuss something important with you today."

Zhong Yeli sneered, "If you had said earlier, you don't have to waste so many lips and tongues. Let's go."

After saying that, he waved his hand to the upstairs, "You play first, and I'll come in a second."

The two entered a tea shop and sat opposite each other. Su Siman ordered some snacks and another pot of dragon well before the rain. The small second-hand feet are sharp, and they have been seated soon.

"Say it." Zhong Yeli glanced at the four empty seats, took a sip of tea, and gently put down the tea cup. "Pick up the important thing, those guys are still waiting for me."

"The gambling house you went to was robbed by me." Su Siman took a piece of white pastry, took a bite, and looked calm.

"Oh, what are you going to do?" Zhong Yeli raised his eyebrows again, and the slightly raised corners of the peach blossom eyes were more distinct and more beautiful than light.

"Yes, I'm going to get it back." Su Siman paused and observed his reaction after drinking tea. He saw that Zhong Yeli's face was still full of constant laughter.

"This is strange. Who dares to touch the land of the crown princess?" Zhong Yeli deliberately frowned and looked indignant, but the rising curvature of the corners of his mouth clearly smiled maliciously and squeaked, "The princess is so bold that she dares to buy property outside the palace without permission, and she is not afraid of being shaken out and causing trouble with His Royal Highness."

Su Siman has long been used to his way of talking. Although he was ridiculed, he only didn't hear the sarcasm in his words and said, "I just want to ask you if you are interested in joining?" After everything is done, the benefits are indispensable.

"Don't be so general." Zhong Yeli suddenly approached her coldly and winked at her mischievously.

Su Siman, who was made to laugh and cry, held his forehead straight, stared at his unformed face, and simply asked with a hippie smile, "Then what do you want?" This time it's mutually beneficial and win-win. You won't lose, of course, I won't lose.

"It seems that I haven't promised you yet." Zhong Yeli is getting serious now.

"I don't think you will refuse, otherwise I won't come to you." Su Siman tasted tea leisurely and looked out of the window.

"Then talk about the conditions and requirements you gave, and it's better to list the reasons that can persuade me to join the partnership. I also want to try it. The conditions and reasons you gave are not enough to move me. Zhong Yeli said indifferently and drank all the tea in the cup.

"Good!" Since he has become curious, Susman knows that he is a little moved, so he is also very cheerful. "After everything is done, first, you don't have to pay a penny, and the casino is also your share; second, the casino can be managed by you; thirdly, and most importantly, you can let go of your hands and do things and use your talent in management. Yes. And you are very free. I won't interfere with you."

The conditions offered are really attractive.

Zhong Yeli squeezed his lips and said nothing.

Su Siman said in a gentle tone, "I know you have always wanted to open a restaurant, and you have opened a restaurant once, but you have been deceived by the most trusted person. Fortunately, that person also made you carry a lot of gambling debts. So later you began to wander around the casino and rely on gambling to make money. In fact, you hate gambling, right?

"How do you know?" Zhong Ye's face looked ugly.

Su Siman ignored his question and continued, "I think a man has to get up from where he falls. It can be said that when it comes to the source, it is still a gambling word. Although he has been in the casino since then, he has also eaten a lot of closed doors. I know you are gifted in gambling, but once those casinos shut you out, can you still enjoy the happiness of satisfying your desire for revenge? Is your life going to fall into chaos again? And those teenagers adopted by you will also suffer. The head of the family is not so easy to be.

"You investigate me?" Zhong Ye's face is pale.

"You misunderstood, not the investigation."

"So where did you hear this?"

"Last time I stayed at your house for a few days, I accidentally listened to them." Su Siman was very calm.

Zhong Yeli sneered and said, "Why should I help you? We are against each other."

Su Siman smiled and was very friendly: "There is no eternal enemy, no eternal friend, only common interests. Apart from those positions, do the two of us have a grudge? Personally, I have never regarded you as an enemy.

"Maybe what you said makes sense, and the conditions are indeed good, but I have no reason to cooperate with you. Those are not enough to impress me." Zhong Ye curled the corners of his mouth stiffly. Obviously, Susman's previous words evoked some very unpleasant memories of him. He would not simply believe that the information she knew was all heard from the teenagers. She must have investigated it, which made him very angry.

Su Siman seemed to have expected it, but said lightly, "If you can put down all the shame at the beginning, then I won't say anything."

"What do you mean?" A trace of gloom flashed in Zhong Ye's eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his body unconsciously leaned forward, like an arrow on the string, as if to launch an attack at any time.

He was finally blown up by her.

The stimulation method is really useful many times, especially after a person's anger is picked up.

Su Siman suddenly leaned closer to him and put his hand on his pergola against his lips, mysteriously: "Do you know who occupied my land to open this Ruyi gambling house?"

"Of course, it won't be the shopkeeper, but the official in the court." Zhong Ye looked disdainful and looked uninterested about this matter.

"Yes, he is still an important person." Su Siman continued to make mysterious things.

Zhong Ye frowned frequently, turned his head and looked out of the window impetuatedly, and stood up impatiently: "Is there anything else? If not, I have to go." Before he finished his words, he really planned to leave.

"The * of Ruyi Gambling House is Qiu Zhongshen." Su Siman gave him a meaningful look.

Zhong Yeli's face suddenly changed, his body stiffened, and his hand holding the folding fan turned white.

"Real?" Zhong Ye's lips trembled slightly and his voice was hoarse.

"Real seriously." Su Siman nodded and stared at him without looking away.

"Okay, I promised you." Zhong Yeli bit his lower lip and said word by word.

"Good." Su Siman smiled, and the pure pleasure was undisguised.

"Say, what do you want me to do?"

"Come here." Su Siman waved his hand.

Zhong Ye's lower lip was white, and he walked to Su Siman with a black face and bent down to approach him. Su Siman whispered in his ear, and Zhong Ye nodded from time to time.

When he came out of the tea shop, Su Siman was in a good mood, and Zhong Yeli's hands trembled slightly with excitement. The two went back to the Ruyi gambling house together.

In the evening, when she came out of Ruyi Gambling, she had already stuffed 200,000 taels of silver in her arms and held an IOU of 150,000 yuan in her hand.

Today's thing is sharp and beautiful. Naturally, Zhong Ye's contribution is indispensable. Her eyes are still very accurate, and it is not in vain these days of painstaking efforts.

When Susman arrived at the appointment place, the sun had set below the horizon.

The carriage waited there quietly, and her heart was very warm.
