Bait

Chen Chongzhou went to the corridor to meet the passengers, Liang Zewen laughed, "Chen Dong, this place is too secluded, my driver fainted at the intersection."

He turned sideways and invited Liang Zewen to come in, "It is said that Director Liang likes rhythm."

"Hey—" Liang Zewen gave a thumbs up, "I'm an expert in this field."

"I met a woman who is good at music by chance." Chen Chongzhou sat down, "Tasting Liang Dong?"

Liang Zewen smiled wickedly, "In terms of rhythm, there is a women's troupe in the Huaxi Imperial Palace in the east of the city. It is known as the world's number one music hall, and it is a gold-selling cave that countless men dream of."

"Oh?" He cleaned the wine utensils with his slender and white fingers, "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it before."

This club has a strict hierarchy, and the customers are "bringing the old with the new". New customers who have just arrived are not accepted to prevent the internal situation from being leaked, which will lead to investigation.No matter how rich or powerful they are, they are all rejected, and the other party has no guts to make trouble easily.

Because of rumors in the industry, Boss Ouyang, the partner of Chen Zheng's business trips to other provinces in 12, admired Huaxi Palace and wanted to open his eyes.

Boss Huaxi came forward to apologize to Chen Zheng, but he didn't invite him into the lobby, and insisted, "We don't do business in clubs, we just open restaurants. Director Chen is out of order."

Even Chen Zheng's face was dismissed, which shows how grand and tough he is.

Mr. Zheng Ye is a distinguished guest of Huaxi. He rents private room No. 2 all the year round, and he specializes in taking care of big bosses from all sides.

Chen Chongzhou, under the influence of Zheng Ye, once had a chic time three years ago, and it is indeed unique. The underground corridor from the hotel on the first floor to the entertainment city is 88 meters long, implying that the guests will make a fortune.

Liang Zewen rubbed the label of the wine bottle, "Men spend money in the Huaxi Palace, which is the treatment of an emperor. All the concubines are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and the decoration is also in the style of the royal garden. The aftertaste is endless."

In the next second, the sound of the zither overflowed, like a thunder drum, and it turned sharply, like a small bridge and flowing water, with a hundred twists and turns.

One of the windows was opened, and the evening wind poured in and blew the curtains, half pink, half yellow, inside the translucent gauze, the woman's face was nothingness, extremely gentle.

Just as she was about to take a peek, the curtain fluttered down, covering her.

"If the sky has love, the sky will also grow old." The woman opened her lips, and her delicate and lingering voice softened one's bones.

Liang Zewen rubbed his hands in anticipation, "Do I have the honor to see the girl's demeanor?"

The woman was motionless.

Chen Chongzhou dangled the wine glass, and said in a leisurely manner, "Come here and pour the wine for Director Liang."

The curtain was slowly lifted, and a beautiful figure came out one by one.

This pair of eyebrows and eyes of a woman is the most charming.

There is a look that, at first glance, is plain, but at best is comely.

But in a certain place, there are endless flavors.

Lights, skirts, singing and dancing, the more the atmosphere is in place, the more it will bring out the peerless elegance.

Liang Zewen was dumbfounded for a moment, "Chen Dong, where did you find the treasure?"

Chen Chongzhou watched this scene meaningfully, "Didn't Director Liang feel that she seemed to have known her before?"

Liang Zewen looked at her for a long time, and finally recognized, "This..." He was stunned, "Is Miss Shen's sister?"

The woman froze, "Are we alike?"

"The eyebrows are similar, like a fox, but also like a star. She looks really seductive." He sighed, "The girl is more beautiful than Miss Shen, but not as pure and lovely as Miss Shen."

She stood there, unable to see what she was thinking about.

Chen Chongzhou took a sip of wine, "Director Liang, can her qualifications win the favor of men?"

"Of course." Liang Zewen was full of praise, "People and things in the world are always the same. Taste is more important than color when you taste food, and even more so when it comes to women. As time goes by, even the most beautiful embryo will get tired of it. A woman with a taste makes a man linger in his dreams."

"You go down first."

Chen Chongzhou's order brought the woman back to her senses, "Yes."

Xue Yan immediately led her out of the box.

Liang Zewen's eyes still fell on the woman's back, "Chen Dong, is this your secret weapon?"

He didn't hide it, and was very frank, "Nothing can be hidden from Liang Dong's wise eyes."

"What does Mr. Chen need from me?"

Chen Chongzhou tapped the cup holder, "Take this woman to the Huaxi Palace, and invite several wealthy businessmen to a banquet, especially Chen Yuan."

Liang Zewen frowned, but did not respond.

He expected that Chen Chongzhou would have a plan, but he never thought that the prey would be Chen Yuan.

Brothers' internal strife is originally a shameful filth, but now it is not a good thing to involve him in the water to witness this struggle.

He couldn't shake it off.

If he wanted to rely on Fucheng, he could only take the lead for Chen Chongzhou.

The man slowly threw out the bait, "Fucheng will take over the Hebin project again, and get a share of the dividends behind the scenes. As for the oil and water in front of the stage, I will hand it over to Changshi Group for a commission."

Liang Zewen looked at him, "At least [-]% of the oil and water in front of the stage, is Mr. Chen willing?"

His smile deepened, "Even if I have a little sincerity to win over Liang Dong, [-]% of it, I'm willing."

"Okay." Liang Zewen made a final decision, "I am short-handed, and I get benefits, so I should contribute as a matter of course."

They drank a glass of wine, and after Liang Zewen left, Chen Chongzhou pushed open the door of the box next door.

Without further ado, he threw a brown paper bag on the table, "Does Mr. Fu know Dong Liang's eagerness to see me?"

Sitting under the window was a man in a suit and leather shoes, in his early fifties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, "I don't care about him, I care about the purpose of Chen Dong asking me to drink."

Chen Chongzhou gave him a wink, "After appreciating these, the vice president will understand my purpose."

Mr. Fu was dubious, opened the envelope, and the photos and audio tapes slipped out one after another. The man was Bai Hua, and the woman who was entangled wantonly was Mrs. Fu. There were many naked close-ups. Xue Yan hired someone to secretly shoot them, and Liang Zewen didn't participate at all.

It was nothing more than a tactic used by Chen Chongzhou.

"Smelly woman, she lied to me and broke up with Xiaobailian, and she's still keeping secrets!" Mr. Fu's expression was extremely ugly, "Old Liang's heart is too dark, it's a waste of my trusting him."

Chen Chongzhou sneered, "Mr. Fu, for the sake of the safety of the group, must bear with the disaster caused by the loneliness of women."

Mr. Fu became angry from embarrassment, "Liang Zewen stared at my wife, what is he worried about?"

"Isn't it easy to see through enemies in the same industry?"

"Mr. Chen also reminded me that Changshi Group's idea of ​​annexing China World Trade Center is not a day or two away."

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers." Chen Chongzhou sat down, "non-joint-stock private enterprises, only Changshi and Guomao have broken the siege in the province. The savings of the Liang family and the Fu family's ancestors are as thick as half a bank, and they are in the same field. When it comes to cooperation, customers basically choose one of the two groups, and Changshi has swallowed China World Trade Center, and has become the only one since then. Doesn’t Mr. Fu think that Changshi is in the way?"

Mr. Fu heard the key, and glanced at him, "Then what advice does Mr. Chen have?"

Chen Chongzhou said every word, "Instead of being passive, it's better to act first." He weighed the photo in his palm, and didn't express his opinion directly, "Should I destroy the video of Mrs. Madam, or should Mr. Fu handle it himself?"

Mr. Fu is different from Liang Zewen, he has brains.

He was a little worse than Chen Zheng, a giant crocodile who single-handedly attacked the country, and much smarter than a dude.

Obviously, Chen Chongzhou wants to exchange one thing for another.

He thought for a moment, "The Chen family has power and money, and a Chen Ling can withstand thousands of troops, what can I give Chen Dong?"

Chen Chongzhou flicked the lid of the cup as if nothing had happened, "Liang Zewen is dishonest, he used despicable means to persecute his colleagues, how will Mr. Fu deal with him?"

Mr. Fu squinted his eyes. He had heard for a long time that the second son of the Chen family had a sinister nature, and he performed first-class performances in killing people with a knife.

It really lives up to its reputation.

He stretched out his hand to pour the wine, "Since Mr. Chen has good intentions, I will listen to you."

Chen Chongzhou nodded slightly, "Boss Fu trusts me, I will help you defeat Liang Zewen."

After finishing the glass of wine, Xue Yan sent Mr. Fu to the elevator.

After a while, he returned and walked to Chen Chongzhou, "She has sincere feelings for Chen Yuan, but Ms. Shen has not responded to Chen Yuan for a long time. Chen Yuan is tired and tired. She just appeared. If they continue their relationship—" He Look at Chen Chongzhou's reaction, "Qi Shang has no source of income, Qi Yang is only three years old, Chen Yuan helps her to clear up the lawsuit, she will not lose custody, the child is in hand, the old love turns back, why does she have to be controlled by you, we have completely lost control She's got the chips."

"Chen Yuan is well-connected, and I also have connections to fight back. If I don't allow her to win the lawsuit, she won't win." Chen Chongzhou smiled confidently, "Besides, do you think he will marry a woman who has children and a husband and will have endless troubles."

Xue Yan didn't take it seriously, "Miss Shen has also been divorced, he doesn't seem to mind the past of a woman."

"Zhou Haiqiao has no grievances with him, but Qi Shang's attempt to retaliate against the Chen family, he is naturally taboo. Chen Yuan was young and frivolous, and he has not broken his face with Chen Zheng. He is almost middle-aged, and he weighs the pros and cons. He will do everything for Qiao Hanrun Is it? He is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, a woman who is too burdensome, although he is affectionate, he is ungrateful."

Xue Yan suddenly said, "Chen Yuan is affectionate, it is to give her hope, it is unrighteous, it is to crush her hope, turning against each other is just around the corner."

Chen Chongzhou smiled unpredictably, "I sit on the dealer, she bets, she pays, Chen Yuan pays, and the dealer never loses."

***

evening.

Zhang Li sneaked through the drawers in the study in the south courtyard of the old house.

Chen Zheng reset the password of the safe from 0825 to 2580, which is still He Peiyu's birthday.

The rustling noise attracted the nanny, and when she walked into the door, Zhang Li's expression changed suddenly, and there was nowhere to escape.

"Old Zhang?" The nanny was puzzled, "Why don't you turn on the light?"

"I'll check the safe." He pretended to be angry, "Sister Hu, Mr. has told you that you are not allowed to enter or leave his study without authorization. You don't plan to take the Chen family's job?"

The nanny was bluffed, "Old Zhang, I'll pay attention next time, don't tell Mr.!"

"You have been doing your best in the Chen family, and I will definitely understand you." Zhang Li passed over her head and peeked out the door, "Don't say anything, I just pretend it's nothing."

The nanny went out immediately, and Zhang Li's whole body seemed to have broken through the door of hell. He slumped on the chair and recovered for a long time, before tiptoeing out of the study.

At this moment, the lights in the corridor were turned off, there was only a flickering lantern, and the candles were burnt out, and it was pitch black.

He patrolled the surroundings vigilantly, made sure that there was no one there, and was about to go to the west courtyard, when a man quietly hid behind him and called him, "Uncle Zhang."

Shocked, Zhang Li turned around in panic, and when he recognized the person, he let out a long breath, "It's the eldest son."

Chen Yuan stepped forward, revealing his entire silhouette, "What is Uncle Zhang worried about?"

"I'm worried that the second son is blocking me." He was holding an identical seal, his palms were sweaty.

Chen Yuan took out the cigarette case and offered him a cigarette, "Worrying that the second child will break, will this game be in vain?"

Zhang Li solemnly said, "The second son has inherited the old chairman's cruelty, and he must not offend him."

The man sneered, "Uncle Zhang is very clear about the current situation. Fucheng, Shenghe, including the Huaer Group of the He family, and many forces are under my control. The second child is nothing to be afraid of."

Zhang Li handed out the seal, but withdrew it hesitantly.

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Uncle Zhang doesn't trust me?"

"The real and fake seals surfaced at the same time. After the Dongchuang incident, the second son knew that I was a double agent. The old chairman didn't forgive me, and the new chairman held grudges. I didn't have a good life." Zhang Li looked coldly, "If the eldest son also crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, I had no choice but to die."

"How did I plot against the Chen family, plot against my father and siblings, Uncle Zhang is the witness." Chen Yuan stood upright, "I would rather cover up the disgraceful inside story with endless costs than expose it."

Zhang Li didn't say a word.

When he handed over the seal, he received a call, and when he glanced at it, his expression froze instantly, "It's Meng Zhao!"

During this period of time, he was very unsteady, and things went so smoothly, so smoothly that it took no effort.

Chen Yuan's skill in business is better than Chen Er's. After all, he entered the sea at the age of 20, and he has worked hard for 16 years. At the beginning, he studied in a top investment bank company in the UK. A well-deserved leader.

Chen Er has practiced both art and medicine. He has dabbled in all kinds of industries, but he can really start a business in just two or three years.

It is reasonable to lose to Chen Yuan.

But Zhang Li was aware of Chen Er's strength, even if he lost, Chen Yuan would still have to win.

Winning is too easy and often deceitful.

"Mr. Zhang." Meng Zhao said in an intriguing tone, "Second Young Master doesn't quite approve of your acting skills."

Zhang Li froze, "What..."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Chen Yuan's gaze was fixed on the flickering screen, revealing a bit of danger.

"Cheng Shiluan was Chen Zheng's personal doctor. Mr. Zhang met him. He pursued my cousin like a madman. Even though Jiang Rong has never eaten pork, hasn't she seen a pig run? Your attitude is neither hot nor cold, Can she trust Mr. Zhang's feelings?"

Zhang Li thought he had revealed his secrets, and almost lost his soul in anxiety.

He felt relieved, "Second Young Master's layout is meticulous, and the city's mansion is profound. I am in awe of him, and I am afraid of him."

Meng Zhao said, "You and the second son are on the same boat. If things go well, Mr. Zhang will be the second son's stepfather in the future. As a family, how can the elders respect the younger generation? It should be the second son who is filial to you. "

Zhang Li hid on the rooftop and turned on the hands-free, followed by Chen Yuan, who locked the door behind him.

"Meng Lu, does Second Young Master have any other orders?"

Meng Zhao smiled, "The second son means that Mr. Zhang is as enthusiastic and crazy as possible towards Jiang Rong. The eldest son is shrewd. Your acting skills are not superb enough to fool you."

Chen Yuan looked at the lighthouse in the main city, the Nanjiang Bridge was filled with fog, and the neon lights were also shrouded in gray.

Zhang Lilian said yes, "I know, Second Young Master, don't worry."

The other end is still polite, "Mr. Zhang has worked for the Chen family for decades, and he is familiar with the temperament of Mr. Chen and the two young masters. You just have to know how to complete the task."

Meng Zhao hung up, and Zhang Li stood in the corner with lingering fear, "Will the eldest son really fulfill his promise?"

Chen Yuan sucked in a big breath, "A word from a gentleman."

He firmly said, "My lord, I don't care about remuneration, I don't care about infamy, I only care about Mrs. He Peiyu's ownership."

"I don't care, but it's the biggest mistake for Uncle Zhang to seek refuge with the second child." Chen Yuan crushed the cigarette butt on the screen rack, "The second child's filial piety is not inferior to mine. You asked for his biological mother, didn't you annoy him?"

"It's not asking for it." Zhang Li urgently denied, "A fair deal."

Chen Yuan smiled but said, "Uncle Zhang's self-deceiving words, the second child may not agree."

He did not give up, "Second Young Master is not willing, so why agree to me?"

"Promise is an expedient measure. He can use you at this stage. Once Uncle Zhang's value is exhausted, your greed for He Peiyu will ruin yourself." Chen Yuan tied his tie again, "If I guessed correctly, The second child never made an appointment to see Uncle Zhang in private, and Meng Zhao conveyed the message on his behalf from the beginning to the end."

Hearing this, Zhang Li fell into deep thought.

Chen Chongzhou really turned a blind eye to him. When we met in the old house yesterday, he took the initiative to greet him, but he was also extremely indifferent.

It's not just indifference, that kind of hatred, unfamiliarity, and no friendly cooperation at all.

The sign of drawing a clear line seems to be fully revealed.

Zhang Li couldn't help feeling cold, "What did the second son find?"

"With the temperament of the second child, he found out that I had set up countermeasures to lure him into the game. Will he survive like this? He was already on the verge of confronting me. Once he sued his father, he would join me in the army instead." Chen Yuan clenched his fist against his lips. Nose, yawning lazily, "Uncle Zhang is curious about the reason."

Zhang Li locked his eyes on him.

"The second child is on guard against Uncle Zhang. What if your father instructs you to cheat him? But this time when he goes back to the old house, he must have found out about his father. The Chen family is calm, which proves that you are one of our own." Chen Yuan smiled. With a voice, "It's a pity that he has calculated everything and neglected that Uncle Zhang is under my command."

After saying this, he didn't stay for long, and came out from the south courtyard.

Yang Ji waited for him to get into the car, "Will the old chairman plan his life and stumble on such an important thing?"

"No matter how powerful a person is, it's inevitable that he will keep secrets." Chen Yuan closed his eyes and meditated, "The merchant's seal is the emperor's jade seal, and stealing it is equivalent to usurping the throne. Father never thought of it."

Yang Ji took a deep breath, "Be careful."

To be honest, giving up a son is not an ordinary sacrifice. It is not an exaggeration for Chen Zheng to test them and try out the best heir.

The old situation is gone, and Yang Ji has to bet on the small ones.

Assuming the wrong bet, she would be the one who sank with the loser.

Driving out of the old house and on the way to Dongjiang Port, Yang Ji received a report from her subordinates, she was shocked instantly, "Injured?" She turned her head, "Chen Dong, the third master is undergoing surgery at the Municipal People's Hospital."

Chen Yuan frowned, "Why?"

"It seems that there was a car accident at the end of National Highway 197, and there was a fight with a group of criminals who illegally smuggled people. The leader was Guan Bao."

Guan Bao's reputation on the border is very famous, and Chen Yuan has heard of it more or less.

Chen Ling's last undercover target was Guan Bao.

With his ability, the province sent this final trump card, and the opponent must be a master of that way.

But Chen Yuan's mind was not entangled here, "National Highway 197? What time is it?"

"The old chairman returns to the old house in the afternoon, and the third master is going out."

He straightened up abruptly, "Did uncle take Shen Zhen away today?"

Yang Ji also woke up like a dream, "So Miss Shen is in the third master's car?"

Chen Yuan restrained his emotions, calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent. He found Shen Zhen's number, but he couldn't get through.

His face was gloomy, "Go to the hospital."
