brotherly innocence

Chu Yaonan calmed down, held back the rage in his heart, and said with a bright smile like the sun on his face: "My uncles and elders, my father's words are very clear. We all know that the business of foreigners is right in front of us. Nan has no skills and is in poor health. My father loves me, so I can only let my second brother take over these businesses first. Please help my second brother. The second brother is young, but he is a rare talent in the world. Benevolence, filial piety. What about me , and will hand over some business in the halls with the second brother, but from today onwards, the owner of these halls is Qin Rong, and everyone should support my brother like Chu Yaonan."

Boss Qin nodded in satisfaction, while Qin Rong looked at his father and then at Chu Yaonan in surprise, obviously ignorant of it in advance.

Chu Yaonan looked at him with a smile and comforted him and said, "Second brother, you can do it, you can do it!"

Qin Rong's move to take over Chongyi Hall was much more complicated than imagined.

The former Shaodong of Chongyitang was Chu Yaonan. In the past two years, Chu Yaonan resigned from his studies and returned to the country at his father's order to manage the family business. He almost went all out.Most of the brothers in Chongyitang are Chu Yaonan's confidants, but Chu Yaonan's order is to obey.

When Qin Rong appeared in Chongyi Hall, the brothers all looked at him strangely, walking past Qin Rong chatting and laughing in twos and threes, turning a blind eye.On the contrary, when they saw Chu Yaonan, they greeted him respectfully: "Brother Nan!" That kind of worship and respect came from the heart.

Qin Rong kept thinking why Boss Qin would hand over the power from Yaonan to him.Chu Yaonan is also the adopted son of Boss Qin, Xiao Chu is beautiful and works hard, why should he take over Chu Yaonan's business?Is it just because he, Qin Rong, is the blood of the Qin family, and Chu Yaonan has no blood relatives?

Chu Yaonan made a list, clearly writing which part of the business he would hand over to him on a certain day and at a certain time. It was a diary with western horizontal lines. Because the pages were turned horizontally, Qin Rong was not used to picking it up. .

Chu Yaonan was very thoughtful, he used a ruler to make a grid line, and recorded everything one by one. He always explained to him step by step according to the items listed in the book, and even checked him randomly to test whether he memorized it.Qin Rong was thankful that his mother gave him a good brain, and Brother Jiang praised him for his surprisingly good memory back then.He tried to keep it in his head and didn't have to take notes.Several times when Chu Yaonan suddenly turned around to test him, he could basically answer correctly, but Chu Yaonan's gaze stayed on his cheek for a while, and then he left disappointed.

To be honest, Chu Yaonan didn't make things difficult for him, and when he conscientiously introduced Dingjiang Wharf and Chongyi Hall to the ups and downs and hardships of the past two years, Qin Rong suddenly felt that Chu Yaonan was not as flashy as he appeared on the surface. Under the appearance, knowledge and courage are even more charming.Chu Yaonan sharpened the pencil with a sharpener, shook the shavings on the corner of the table and said, "You are quite smart, a hundred times better than Ah Pei, so I don't worry. Look, the things in these books You remember everything, if you remember, sign and press your fingerprints, and I will give the old man a job."

Turning his head to see Qin Rong staring at him speechlessly, Chu Yaonan smiled and said, "It's nothing, don't blame me, this is a business matter. You and I have signed and signed, and the handover is over. I won't leave you alone in the future. You can ask me anytime if you have anything to do. But, I have to be on guard, in case someone tells the old man that I have left behind and didn't hand over anything to you, the old man will skin me alive. You are different from me , I'm just a dog adopted by the old man, who looks after the house."

Those words were cold, Qin Rong felt as if he had entered an ice cave, and suddenly felt that Chu Yaonan was very pitiful, everything was handed over to him, what was Chu Yaonan doing?After all, Bao's business is false. How can one be sure if there will be tomorrow?

It's just that Chu Yaonan said nonchalantly: "Since I was sensible, the old man told me that my surname is Chu, and sooner or later a younger brother will take over the things of the Qin family. I understand this."

He patted Qin Rong on the shoulder and said encouragingly, "Young man, work hard!"

Qin Rong took over the Xiling Wharf, and Chu Yaonan summoned his brothers to officially launch Qin Rong in Xiangtang.

Chu Yaonan said: "From today, the Xiling Wharf will be taken over by the second young master. I hope that everyone will support the second young master Qin Rong as much as they have supported me, Chu Yaonan, for the past two years. As we all know, this is the result of everyone's expectations. Yaonan The surname is Chu, and it is just a stopgap measure to take charge of the Xiling Wharf of the Lan Gang. Now that the second young master is here, Yaonan can always take some of the burden off his shoulders. Everyone is a man, so cheer up! In the past, Xiling Wharf was the blue The best of all gangs, and one of the gangs on which the Blue Gang started its business, is the pride of the Blue Gang. In the future, under the leadership of the second young master, it will be even more brilliant, and the brothers will also be able to follow the second The young master eats delicious food and drinks spicy food."

Chu Yaonan spoke sincerely, suddenly choked up, but put on a smile and said: "Yaonan was 12 years old and played at Xiling Wharf by the Ding River. Yaonan came back from overseas, and his first job was Xiling Wharf, because, in the eyes of the uncle, Xiling Wharf is the closest and most reassuring stall. Many of you are Yaonan's fathers, and the founding heroes who started the country with the uncle. The second young master will not treat you badly. I have explained it all."

"Nan Shao, Nan Shao--" Countless voices sounded, injustice, sigh, sigh, astonishment...

Over there, the gaze condenses on one spot, forming an impenetrable barrier.

Qin Rong was pushed to the middle chair by Chu Yaonan, and he had no choice but to say a few words.

Suddenly, he looked so dull and opened his mouth, the mournful emotion made him feel a little desolate, but he calmly said to everyone: "Qin Rong, my name is Ye Rong, I came from Qingdaotang. I believe that many of you have seen me, or should have heard of me. Thank you Brother Nan for bringing out this hall, and thank you brothers for your efforts to Qin. Qin Rong is just ordered by the uncle to be in charge of Xiling Wharf. It's not because of popular expectations, nor because of any blood relatives. The main reason is that Brother Nan's talent is shining brightly, and Bao's foreign business is very big. No one can control him, so the uncle has no choice but to transfer him. These days, Brother Nan is in Hand over to Qin Rong, and explain to Qin Rong everything about the Xiling Wharf. Time is tight, and Qin Rong is also stupid. If you can’t remember or don’t do it well, brothers, just say it clearly. People walk in the rivers and lakes, know that I am Qin Rong Everyone in Rong knows that I like to talk straight to the point. Brothers do their best, and I, Qin Rong, will also support these deals for you brothers."

Qin Rong was wearing a short shirt, standing next to the gentle and elegant Chu Yaonan who was wearing a long shirt, just like his younger brother.

After Qin Rong had spoken, he didn't care about the expressions of the brothers, but Qin Rong didn't care if some people commented suspiciously.This is the end of the matter, we have to take a step forward.

"Tomorrow, Yaonan will be in charge of the business of Bao's Foreign Firm, so he won't come here again. In the evening, Yaonan treats guests, brothers and sisters, if you don't get drunk, you won't return home! Beauties and wine are enough!"

Chu Yaonan's bright smiling eyes, shining with tears, calmly said goodbye to everyone one by one.

There were bursts of shouts of "Nan Shao, Nan Ge" all around, and the voice was full of reluctance.

Chu Yaonan told A Biao, "You go find some small officials who sit in the hall, and you don't care about the price, and you want to have a variety of styles."

When he turned his head and saw the indifferent Qin Rong, he smiled awkwardly and said, "These people are so good, Dingjiang's masculinity is prevalent now."

"A Rong, come tonight to join in the fun and let the brothers get to know you well. Also block the wine for me." Chu Yaonan said again.

Qin Rong saw the nostalgic eyes of his brothers looking at Chu Yaonan, as if Qin Rong was the only outsider in the entire Xiling Hall.Chu Yaonan's words to keep him were also somewhat reluctant, so Qin Rong laughed and said, "Mother said, I made glutinous rice meat tonight, and she wants me to go home for dinner."

Chu Yaonan patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't know what kind of trouble these rough people will make. They are not big or small. Some people brought me up since I was young, and they have never "Bao'er" and "Bao'er" can't be stopped, and they are even more reckless when they get drunk, and they can't help but make people anxious."

When Qin Rong returned home, Boss Qin was very surprised: "Didn't you hear Nan'er say that Ke Ya wrapped him up to see him off?"

Qin Rong glanced at the aunts who came up to him, and said with a tired smile on his cheek, "I don't like lively scenes."

He lowered his head and took off his top hat, and was about to change clothes.

"Did Nan'er not allow you to go?" Boss Qin asked unwillingly.Qin Rong had to explain: "Those people invited some goblins, I don't like them, they are still men."

Seeing Qin Rong's lips pursed deeply, showing a little shyness, Wu Yiniang covered her mouth and giggled and said, "Look at Second Young Master, I'm so ashamed, alas, Nan Shao is really not serious."

Only then did Boss Qin show a smile, and said: "Those people, you should drink and mess with them more, so that you can get acquainted with them."

"Over there at Qingdao Hall..." Qin Rong asked.

"I've asked Yaonan to arrange it. I heard that several hall masters have offered to leave with money and find another job. As for the fifth hall master, what's his name Xue..."

"Fifth brother Xue Hui." Qin Rong hurriedly answered.

"Yes, Xue Hui, he wants to stay, but he wants to go to another branch of the Blue Gang. He is a learned man, young and shrewd, and Dad thinks he can be used."

Although Fifth Brother and him are always at odds with each other and beat him like a black-eyed chicken in Qingdaotang, now it sounds like he is also the closest relative.

Until very late, Chu Yaonan did not come back.

Uncle Lou went back and forth outside the door to watch several times, muttering, "Master Nan has been busy these few days, and I'm afraid he's going to sleep in the hall again."

When Chu Yaonan came back, he was very drunk, and it was A Biao who carried him home.

He yelled on A Biao's back: "I'm not drunk, do it! I'm not drunk! I won't return if I'm not drunk! I'll come back, don't forget, brothers, don't forget..."

Qin Rong felt a little desolate in his heart, as if he saw himself as a child, naughty and mischievous, stripped naked by his elder brother and beaten up on the street, not allowed to go home, that kind of helpless panic, I hope I worry more.

When the father came out, he shook his head with a sullen face, and cursed: "You bastard! The quality of wine depends on your character! Drink to such an extent. Go get him a whip to wake him up!"

Shocked, Third Aunt and Fifth Miss rushed over and snatched Chu Yaonan back to the room to sober up.

Boss Qin glared at Chu Yaonan being escorted away by the crowd, and saw Qin Rong standing in the dim light, took a deep breath and reminded: "The four major piers in Xiling, your Brother Nan is well-organized, and he has taken care of them all these years. The brothers who came out, I am afraid that the old relationship will be unforgettable. People will be uneasy when the government changes and the owner is changed. You should spend more energy on taking care of the Xiling Pier. This is the most stable thing, with a deep foundation, and in front of your father and uncles, you But be brave!"
