Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

There was a sharp sound of glass breaking in the night, and Zhou Qi's brows suddenly furrowed.

When he saw the figure staggering out from the corner, his knuckles clicked unconsciously - it was Zhang Gongzheng.

This former follower was now surrounded by several drunks, and the silver chain on his chest shone coldly under the street lights.

Zhou Qi's eyes swept over the thug who was grabbing Lin Taoping's collar, and his Adam's apple moved: "Are you successful?"

"Brother Chuan Qi!"

Zhang Gongzheng was shocked all over, and the drunkenness instantly turned into cold sweat.

He suddenly pushed away the younger brother who was supporting him, and his leather shoes made a harsh friction sound on the asphalt road: "Let go of me, damn it!"

The scolded yellow-haired man still stiffened his neck and muttered: "In Linjiang County, who can make Brother Zhang bow his head?"

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Gongzheng's slap came over with a sound of wind, and the wine bottle shattered when the yellow-haired man stumbled into the curb.

"Open your eyes and look! This is Mr. Zhou!"

Zhang Gongzheng's roar exploded in the alley, and several drunks seemed to be paused.

When he turned around, his neck turned red: "Boss Zhou, Sister Lin, these guys are new to the building materials market..."

Zhou Qi's thumb slowly stroked his watch, his eyes passing over Zhang Gong's trembling shoulders.

Amid the screeching sound of brake pads, two figures walked quickly from the darkness, and the cold light from Rose's fingertips made the air suddenly freeze.

"Gongzheng."

Lin Ruixue broke the silence and tapped his wine-stained collar with her fingertips: "It's time to wake up."

Zhang Gongzheng's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty. Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Qi raised his hand and interrupted him: "Bring them to the headquarters on Wednesday."

His eyes fell on the broken glass on the ground: "Now, clean up what needs to be cleaned up."

The yellow-haired man suddenly rushed in front of the car, his forehead banging against the hood with a loud bang: "Boss Zhou, I am blind! I can't recognize the great man..."

"Oh?"

Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows and turned to Zhang Gongzheng: "You talked a lot with your new friend?"

"That's right. I mentioned that you..."

Zhang Gongzheng's voice was stuck in his throat.

The night wind blew up the cigarette butts, leaving burn marks on everyone's tense nerves. Finally, he bowed deeply, dragged his still trembling hands and disappeared at the end of the alley.

Lin Ruixue sighed softly as she straightened her husband's collar. The sound of police sirens was faintly discernible in the distance.

Zhou Qi looked at the figure fleeing in panic in the rearview mirror, and a dark current flashed across his eyes.

When the gangster holding the bottle and shouting passed by Zhou Qi, the air suddenly froze.

Zhou Qi lowered his eyes and adjusted his cufflinks. His calm voice was like an ice knife cutting through glass: "Stay here to clean up the mess."

The moment he raised his eyes, Xiao Chao nodded tacitly, while Rose in the shadow pressed the bulge behind her waist calmly.

Ma Kui's Adam's apple rolled violently as he watched Lin Taoping and others follow Zhou Qi into the inner hall. The back of his suit was already soaked with cold sweat.

The tinfoil thing Xiao Chao took out from his overalls shone coldly under the light: "Bite it."

He casually threw it to the thug who was slumped on the ground, and the metal dentures were faintly visible between his opening and closing lips.

When the crisp sound of bones dislocating exploded in the parking lot, Zhang Gongzheng's temples began to throb.

The security captain, who had been working in the gray area for many years, was shocked by the ruthless methods used by two strange young men.

He stared at the modified Land Rover Defender until the roar of Xiao Chao's engine broke the silence.

In the VIP lounge, Lin Taoping and his family huddled in a corner uncomfortably.

Han Juan's hands were still shaking as she rubbed the teacup repeatedly, and the bottom of the ceramic cup made a crackling sound when it hit the glass turntable.

"Xiao Zhou."

Lin Dong bit his tongue as soon as he opened his mouth. He caught a glimpse of Ma Kui bending over to refill Zhou Qi's tea. He suddenly realized that this young man who always wore casual clothes had knife-edge hidden in even the folds of his suit.

Zhou Qi tapped the table with his knuckles, and his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses suddenly softened: "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. Gong Zheng just has a mixed circle of friends."

He pushed over two boxes of the finest tea leaves. The cold light reflected from the dial of his watch just happened to cover up the old scar on his palm.

Lin Ruixue noticed the emotion in her husband's brows and broke the silence softly:

“When you are working in the engineering circle, it is inevitable that you will deal with a mixed crowd.

Just like Dabai, he is usually reckless, but he is quite reliable after sobering up. "

Zhou Qi twirled the teacup without saying anything, his slightly furrowed brows reflected on the glass wall.

I ran into Zhang Gongzheng and his group of people looking drunk at the construction site this morning, which was really infuriating.

How can those drunken guys be compared with Zhao Dabai?

Although Dabai has a violent temper, he always sticks to his bottom line and would never be as absurd as he is today.

He looked out the window at the shadows of the sycamore trees, and suddenly remembered the scene when Zhang Gong led people to reinforce the river bank all night during the rainstorm last year. Perhaps, as his wife said, this business really depends on the occasion. He shook the remaining tea at the bottom of the cup, and the depression in his throat inexplicably dissipated a little.

There was a sudden clinking of dishes and chopsticks at the other end of the table. Lin Taoping pushed his reading glasses and said, "That Mr. Zhang. Are you all familiar with him?"

"I started my business with Xiao Zhou in the early years, selling building materials."

Lin Dong picked up a piece of boiled chicken and said, "Now he is involved in one-third of the infrastructure in the county, and Yuancai and the others now have their own businesses."

Seeing that the topic turned to himself, Zhou Qi put down the teacup and simply replied: "Occasionally cooperate."

These words made several elders of the Lin family exchange surprised glances. They were shocked to realize that the business empire behind the young man in front of them was even larger than what they saw on the surface.

Lin Taoping suddenly lowered his voice and talked about something new: "Did you watch the news?

The Hualong Group, I heard, has taken over the development of the entire North Shore in Guangdong Province. Their general manager is a girl named Qiao, but someone else is actually at the helm..."

The dining table suddenly became lively. The uncle held the wine glass and said mysteriously: "If you ask me, it must be the work of the Li family in Hong Kong, or some big shot in Beijing is not convenient to show up..."

Zhou Qi held his wife's slightly cold hand, a smile appearing in the corners of his eyes.

Lin Ruixue lowered her head and took a sip of chrysanthemum tea. Her husband's handsome profile was reflected in the tea.

Who would have thought that these elusive business legends in the rumors are now sitting in a home-style restaurant in the old city, quietly peeling salted peanuts?

In the afternoon when the warm sun was shining, Zhou Qi had a faint smile on his face.

While drinking, Lin Dong toasted with his cousin whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Lin Taoping's family, who had originally planned to stay in the county town for two days, took the initiative to propose returning after seeing that things were going smoothly but a little restrained.

Lin Dong paused while holding the teacup: "Why are you so anxious?"

The other party repeatedly explained that he had to go back to prepare for the transfer of the hot pot restaurant.

Looking at the relatives who insisted on leaving, the father-in-law finally gave up trying to keep them.

During the meal, Ma Kui earnestly asked for a waiver of the bill, but Zhou Qi tapped the table lightly, indicating that he should pay with the regular discount.

At the time of parting, people were seen under the shade of the paulownia trees.

Just as he was about to say goodbye politely, Zhang Gong staggered out from behind the pillar, his face now mostly sober and with a look of shame on his face.

"Brother Qi, those business friends were really rude just now."
