After becoming a villain, I was forced to save the villain

Chapter 289 His Cat (4)

Located in the most prosperous area of ​​Ping'an Street, it looks simple and magnificent from the outside, but if the door is slowly opened in front of you, the scene inside will make you feel like you are in a foreign country.

This house is the old house of the Du family, the richest man in Lincheng. If you want to say that the Du family is unusual, counting up from the last page of the family tree, there are dozens of famous and famous people in all dynasties.According to legend, the Du family was originally an official for generations, and there were also high-ranking officials such as Taiwei. After the family fell behind, the Du family abandoned their official position and went into business. Unexpectedly, they gradually became a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. The "emperor" has not been abolished. At that time, the old man of the Du family was still the emperor's most trusted imperial merchant, in charge of Liuhe salt transportation, and his business scope involved cloth, grain, rice, weapons and wine making.

After the old dynasty was destroyed, the Du family of the imperial merchant declined for a while.

I thought that this family that had been brilliant for hundreds of years would disappear, but no one expected that among the descendants of the Du family, there would be a business genius named Du Shiling, whose business acumen was far superior to that of the old man of the Du family. When I was 15 years old, I proposed to study abroad.After four years of wandering abroad alone, he returned to China and began to lead the Du family to do business with foreigners.

In this era when foreigners are bigger than the sky, Du Shiling is the only one who can make a lot of money from foreigners.In this troubled world, all the old aristocrats and rich people cannot escape the fate of decline and depression. Only the Du family is still the richest man in Lincheng by doing overseas business. The silver dollars in the family can fill the entire Qinyang River. Under his control is the entire overseas business in Lincheng, even the general manager of Lincheng Bank has to respectfully hand over a cigar and call out to Mr. Du when he sees him.

The wealth of the Du family is unimaginable, but when the people in Lincheng mentioned the Du family, they all had weird expressions of dissatisfaction.

After all, the Du family is not only rich, but also stingy.

How stingy is it?
Other rich people can always throw their inexhaustible leftovers under the wall and leave them to beggars, but the Du family has never been able to enter, let alone leftovers, not even a sip of water .

When a beggar meets a rich man and says something nice, he can at least get a penny, but if he meets Du Shiling, even if his mouth is worn out, he can't get a penny from his pocket.

The head of the Du family is like this, and so are the servants of the Du family.

No matter if they are in Lincheng or in the countryside, no one is willing to do small business at the door of Du's house.

If it weren't for the recent wars and chaos, things really couldn't be sold, and everyone could only bite the bullet and wait at the back door of Du's house, letting his guys bargain.

This morning, the fish that Du San bought was quickly chopped into several parts, and made into fish head stew and sweet and sour fish respectively, and served to the table together with several vegetarian dishes that warm the stomach and strengthen the spleen.

The master wakes up at six in the morning, and at 05:30, the maid has to prepare the clothes the master will wear today.

Du San was already guarding the door, and when he heard footsteps coming from the bedroom, he immediately knocked on the door and entered.

"Master, what are your plans for this morning?"

Du San was also surnamed Du. When the old man was alive, he raised many house slaves with different surnames. Since then, these house slaves have served the Du family from generation to generation.

Du San is the last servant surnamed Du in the house, and he has some right to speak in front of Du Shiling.

The man who just got up responded lightly, a pure black pajamas were loosely draped over his body, his figure was thin but straight, his hair just trimmed was a little messy, under the broken hair was a fair and delicate face, thin The eyelids droop slightly, and the eyelashes are soft and long, covering most of the deserted eyes.

The man looked very young, but about 21 years old.

But everyone in the city knew that the Patriarch of the Du family was nearly thirty years old, and that there was a black heart of a profiteer hidden under his white appearance.

Du San followed behind him, clearly talking about the things he bought and the money he spent this morning.

"I bought more than 300 catties of vegetables and more than 50 catties of meat, and spent a total of two silver dollars and 140 silver cents."

Du Shiling nodded, and after washing, he strode to the front of the window to get the pre-brewed coffee.

His room is the most classic master room, but the decorations inside are more Western-style, with gray carpets under his feet, Simmons mattresses imported from abroad, tulip-shaped lamps beside the bed, and a design sense above his head. black and white chandelier.

Du Shiling is not lenient in spending his own money. Every object in the house is furnished by famous designers. Even the coffee cup he is holding in his hand is Riedel imported from Italy, which is expensive.

A white round table was placed in front of the spacious and bright window, and the coffee on the table was quietly emitting heat. When Du Shiling finished his cup of coffee, Du San called the people outside to bring in the breakfast.

In front of him is a small porcelain-white cup, the fish soup inside is pure and milky white, and the moment the lid is lifted, it is fragrant.

While eating breakfast, Du San unfolded today's newspaper and handed it to him.

After dinner, Du Shiling changed into a black shirt and white suit pants. The maid behind him put a gray waistcoat on him, and Du San opened a drawer beside him, which was filled with glittering and expensive pocket watches.

He carefully dragged a piece, turned around and put it in Du Shiling's pocket. The rose gold watch chain was hanging on the man's chest, and the high-quality suit was slightly cold.

The white suit was put on the body, making the man's back straight and straight, and a black windbreaker was put on at the end to resist the cold wind outside the door.

"Prepare the car."

The driver was already waiting at the door, and when Du Shiling came out, he hurried forward.

"Boss, the front door is frozen, and the wheels keep slipping. I have no choice but to park the car at the back door."

"Well, it's fine."

Du Shiling seldom uses the back door, because it takes seven or eight minutes at the fastest to walk from the master room to the back door, which is a waste of time.

Because the boss was tall and striding, the driver could only trot along behind him. When he reached the back door, the doorkeeper hurriedly opened the small door and said respectfully to Du Shiling.

"Master is good."

"Ah hello."

Du Shiling, who came back from overseas, has the temperament of a noble son, gentle and elegant, which no outsider can tell. This young and polite man is the head of the Du family.

As long as it wasn't about money, Du Shiling would be extraordinarily gentle, and the servants who didn't have much contact with him silently rejoiced in their hearts that they had found a good master.

The black car was parked at the door, and the driver stepped forward to open the door. Du Shiling was about to lift his foot to step on it, when suddenly he felt an extra soft touch on his toes.

He looked down, and saw a white cat lying under his feet.

The man frowned, twisted his leather shoes slightly, walked around the white cat, and stepped into the car.
