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

Chapter 290 His Cat (5)

"Take care of this."

Du Shiling didn't like these small animals, so the driver hurried around and bent over to pick up the kitten by the back of the neck, ready to throw it away.

Unexpectedly, the white cat seemed to know what he was going to do. With a twist of its slender body, it broke free from the driver's hand, and after landing on its four paws, it sprinted in through the back door like a bolt of lightning.

The driver was shocked when he saw this.

It's over, not only didn't throw it far away, but let it go into the yard, what should I do?
Du Shiling, who was already sitting in the car waiting, saw this scene in his eyes, and there was no expression on his fair face, only a trace of dissatisfaction was drawn in his shallow eyes.

The driver bowed and walked to the window with a stiff and bewildered expression.

"Boss, the cat's fur is too slippery, I couldn't hold it firmly."

"Well, it's okay, let's drive first."

"okay."

Cadillac cars imported from abroad are rarely seen in Lincheng.

With the national 51798 license plate printed on it, anyone who read it would know that the Patriarch of the Du family had gone out.The peddlers doing business next to the Qinyang River will look up and take a second look. This kind of luxurious foreign car doesn't cost much money.

The car went all the way south along Ping'an Street, and after driving for more than ten minutes, it arrived at the Lincheng International Trade Center. This trade center built by foreigners has now become the landmark of the entire Lincheng. Things that are already popular abroad are brought into China. Lincheng, as one of the domestic trade centers, naturally becomes a key investment target for foreigners.

The concession was formed here more than 20 years ago, and then those products with foreign characteristics frantically poured into Lincheng, which greatly impacted the world view of the people in Lincheng.

Foreign samples that are much cheaper than cotton and silk, matches and lighters that are more convenient than flints, soap that is more fragrant and useful than soap locusts, and various novelty gadgets.

These things flooded into people's lives like a flood. In less than a year, foreign goods became synonymous with cheap and easy to use.

However, the rapid development of foreign trade and rapid occupation of nearly [-]% of the market in Lincheng has caused a huge impact on the local livelihood industry. This is why in just ten years, several family businesses that were once Lincheng's commercial giants have declined. collapse.

Without orders and customers, and without novel foreign technologies, we can only watch old customers disappear one by one.

The Du family was also one of the declining families.

Later Du Shiling came back.

He is brave enough, ruthless enough, and can change his face faster than turning a book. Externally, he contacts foreign companies. Internally, he builds good relations with local warlords. He communicates externally and internally, making him the largest import and export trade in Lincheng. President of the chamber of commerce.

The people in Lincheng need cheap fabrics and washing powder... The merchants in Lincheng need more advanced textile machines, while those overseas merchants favor domestic tea, pottery, silk and wine.

Du Shiling is the link connecting them directly to each other, he draws profits from it, and he is also in charge of the largest import and export trade building in Lincheng.

In this place, Du Shiling's name is louder than the warlords who occupied the place.

He is a businessman, in charge of the local economic lifeline.

That's why, the Marshal of the Northwest Army who controlled Lincheng would invite Du Shiling to this foreigner's restaurant for dinner.

Du Shiling has seen this kind of situation a lot, and he handles it like a duck to water.

After the meal, the driver drove the car to the entrance of the restaurant, and Li Yuanxi brought Du Shiling to the entrance. The man who sat on the position of marshal from a small place revealed the temperament of a gangster in everything he said and did. Underneath is a face with scars running across it. It looks very fierce, and it is even more ferocious when it smiles.

"President Laudu was involved in that matter. In two days, I set up a stage in the West Courtyard. We have played with the foreigners' things, and then we will go to play with the local ones!"

Du Shiling nodded with a smile, and calmly avoided Li Yuan's palm that was about to be slapped, his white and elegant face was filled with a steady smile.

"Du will definitely come to the appointment on time, but this time I will be the host, please drink tea and listen to the play."

"It's the same for anyone who does it, how much does it cost to drink tea! I can afford it!"

"Marshal Li is very generous. I heard that you celebrated your birthday some time ago, and it was Du who came to visit again."

"Good good!"

Li Yuanxi laughed like thunder, watching Du Shiling get into the car and leave, and seeing the car slowly disappear at the intersection, the creases on his smiling face instantly turned into a dead tree-like expression.

"Mom, shit! Playing with my power and prestige!"

The adjutant stepped forward to support Li Yuanxi, and continued following his words.

"Then Du Shiling agreed to borrow the money?"

"fart!"

Li Yuanxi waved away the adjutant's hand, strode into the dining room, dark clouds covered his dark face.

"That kid is very sinister, he hides three points of everything, it seems that he doesn't want to borrow it."

"Then what should we do? Our soldiers..."

"If he doesn't want to borrow it, he won't borrow it? I'm going to give him face and let him send the money over by himself. Otherwise, when I get upset, I'll just copy his Du family!"

"Marshal's majesty, it's just that kid is ignorant!"

-

The car was driving smoothly on the road. The driver looked at the boss sitting behind him through the rearview mirror, subconsciously holding his breath.

After coming out of the restaurant, the boss's mood was not quite right, he always looked low and down, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face.

The car was extremely quiet, and when he was about to reach Ping'an Street, Du Shiling, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke.

"Go to the third sugar shop at the alley entrance of Ping'an Street and buy me a bowl of sugar water."

When the driver heard this, he quickly responded, turned the car around and parked in the middle of the alley, then got out of the car and bought a portion of sugar water for Du Shiling, a total of two pennies, which contained melted rock sugar mixed with a lot of red bean paste, and scooped up a spoonful of mung beans In the water, you can vaguely see the glutinous rice balls filled with red bean paste, which are soft, white and round, and smell sweet.

Holding the small bowl to the car, Du Shiling took the spoon and ate in small bites, silent and quiet.

The whole serving of sugar water was quickly eaten by him, and the driver continued to drive home.

The ice at the front door was almost shoveled, the car stopped steadily, and Du San, who was already waiting at the door, held Du Shiling's arm to help him get out of the car.

Entering the door is a large rockery and green water. The ground is covered with bright green lawns. Several fruit trees with great ornamental value are planted on the lawn, which are evergreen in winter.

There are many courtyards fan-shaped on both sides of the lawn. In the past, there were many adults in the Du family, and people lived in almost every courtyard. Now only Du Shiling and a few younger brothers and sisters are left in the huge Du family. The older sister is married. Therefore, most of the courtyards today are empty, with a total of more than 30 rooms, most of which are not popular.
