The little rascal and his gentleman boyfriend

"Aunt Cui, you said this incident was a sensation back then, why can't I find it online?"

"Can't find it?" Cui Ting frowned and said, "Although the Internet was just emerging at that time, it was not as popular as it is now, but many news media have reported this matter, how could it not be found?"

Fu Nian and Zhang Yan looked at each other and said, "Maybe it's been too long. Aunt Cui, where's Uncle, why aren't you at home today?"

"He has fallen in love with square dancing recently, and he disappears whenever he is free. It was said a few days ago that their dance troupe is going to participate in the square dancing competition of Ningcheng TV station, and they went out to rehearse the dance early this morning." It can be seen. , Cui Ting was very dissatisfied with Li Jiang.

"Then you follow along and dance square dance to exercise your body."

"I have been there once or twice. Those old men and women have too many things to do, and they are always dawdling about doing something. I don't like the atmosphere, so I didn't go again."

"You, you were impatient when you were young. After all these years, you are still impatient."

"As the saying goes, 'The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change'. I can't change it in my life."

After chatting with Cui Ting for a while, Fu Nian and Zhang Yan got up and left, saying, "Aunt Cui, we should go back and see you next time."

Seeing that they were going to leave, Cui Ting was a little unhappy, and said, "Niannian, it's almost noon, but you are leaving on an empty stomach. Do you think that Aunt Cui can't take care of your meal, or do you dislike me doing it?" Can't the food go into your mouth?"

Seeing this, Fu Nian quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Aunt Cui, look at what you said, you cook spicy pork ribs is my favorite, how could I despise your craftsmanship. I have a social gathering at noon, so I can't get away .”

Cui Ting looked at Fu Nian suspiciously, and said, "You kid didn't lie to me, did you?"

"How is it possible? I can't lie to you if I lie to anyone. If you don't believe me, just ask Zhang Yan, he will go with me at noon."

Seeing this, Zhang Yan quickly made a siege and said: "Fu Nian is right, the client we are going to receive at noon is very important, and we can't push it away. Next time we come again, we must stay for dinner and try Sister Cui's craftsmanship."

Cui Ting finally let go when she heard the words, and said: "That's fine, let's forget it this time, next time you come over, call me in advance, I will prepare well."

"Success, listen to Aunt Cui."

Cui Ting sent Fu Nian and Zhang Yan downstairs, and didn't turn to leave until she watched them get into the car.

"Aunt Cui is right. Although the Internet was not as popular in 2000 as it is now, many news media have reported on this matter. It is impossible to find it on the Internet. Someone must have tampered with it."

"The status of the Shen Group in Ningcheng was not simple back then. In addition, the Internet was not popular, and it took so long. Although it took some effort to clear certain information, it was not impossible."

"It's Chen again." Fu Nian smiled and said, "I really have a relationship with Shen."

"The Shen family has deep roots in Ningcheng, even Mr. Rong would not dare to offend easily. If Shen Rong hadn't done something like that to make the Shen family feel bad, Mr. Rong would have to waste some effort if he wanted to get rid of the Shen family."

"Didn't Mr. Rong say that Mrs. Shen has been targeted by the Economic Investigation Team? They may not be able to protect themselves now."

"How many people have tried to touch Shen's over the years, not to mention Ningcheng's economic investigation team, even the provincial capital has sent people here, but in the end they didn't find anything and left in despair."

"Brother Yan, it's not certain this time. I heard that someone made a real-name report. The investigation team that came this time is all big shots, and it seems that they are going to make big moves." Ma Wu, who had been listening in, interjected.

"I've heard this from Mr. Rong. It's true that someone made a real-name report."

"If this is the case, then it's no wonder. Shen's recent frequent actions are probably to cover up the crime and minimize the risk."

"Cover up the crime?" Fu Nian was taken aback for a moment, but then suddenly realized, and said excitedly, "I finally understand why the murderer came to the door at this time after more than ten years."

"You mean that the murder that happened in your house is related to Shen's?"

Fu Nian nodded and said, "That's right. The arrival of the investigation team made Shen's vigilant. They knew that the investigation team was coming so aggressively that it was impossible to completely avoid it, so they were avoiding the serious and covering up the crime. Maybe the real-name report What the person reported was the secret that my mother had at the beginning. It was only dramatic that the person Shen Rong brought to teach me collided with the person Shen sent to find evidence, and that's how the murder happened."

Zhang Yan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said, "This really echoes the old saying, 'No coincidence is a book'."

"Of course, this is just my guess. The truth needs to be verified a little bit."

Seeing Fu Nian's excited face, Zhang Yan also raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Then where are we going next?"

"Although we know that the root cause of everything lies in Shen's, the investigation team has already alarmed the snake. They are just on alert. We have no way to infiltrate Shen's and get useful information. What's more, we are not the police, and no one is obliged to cooperate. Our investigation." The excitement on Fu Nian's face disappeared, and he collapsed in frustration, and said: "If I can work harder, study while working part-time like Dui Wang said, and go to a police academy, I don't have to worry about it now. .”

"It's not only the police who can investigate the case. Are those private detectives you are just doing nothing? It's not easy for Shen's side, so find another entry point."

"Brother Zhang is right." Fu Nian cheered up again and said, "But let's fill our stomachs first."

"Where are we going now?"

"There's a good noodle shop nearby, let's go eat noodles."

"Okay, let's go eat noodles then."

Under Fu Nian's guidance, the three of them walked all the way towards the noodle shop.

Standing under the door of the noodle shop, Ma Wu looked up and said, "Fu Nian, are you sure it's this one?"

Fu Nian smiled and said, "Brother Ma, although this noodle restaurant is small, the fried noodles and beef noodles here are both very good. We came early, and there are still vacancies. Wait a little longer." After a while, you may not be able to eat in line.”

Fu Nian greeted the boss, then chose a seat in the back and sat down.Ma Dong and Zhang Yan looked at each other and sat down immediately.

The boss came over and said with a smile, "Fu Nian, you haven't been here for a while."

"About a month. I haven't been here since I quit my delivery job."

"I've heard about this. It's said that someone made a bad review on purpose..." At this point, the boss suddenly stopped talking and said, "It's not easy to do anything now. Fu Nian, if you really have no place to go, come to me." Come here, the work is a little tiring and dirty, but I won't treat you badly."

"Thank you, boss. I've found a job, and I'm living a pretty good life now." Fu Nian could see that the boss really wanted to help him.

"It's good to find a job. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. You helped me a lot before. When you have something to do, I have to help you anyway."

"Boss, don't worry, if something is really difficult, I will definitely speak up." Fu Nian said with a smile: "Now the three of us urgently need to fill our stomachs, so the boss should let us eat first."

"That's easy to say, what do you want to eat?"

"I want a fried noodles. Brother Ma, Brother Zhang, what do you eat?"

Zhang Yan said casually, "Give me a fried sauce noodle too."

Ma Wu looked at the menu on the wall and said, "Then I want a beef noodle."

"Two bowls of fried noodles, one bowl of beef noodles, just wait, I'll make them for you right away."

Fu Nian got up and said, "Brother Zhang, Brother Ma, you sit down, I'll get some side dishes."

Zhang Yan always kept his identity in mind, and said, "I'll go with you, the kimchi outside just now seems to be pretty good."

Fu Nian naturally understood Zhang Yan's purpose, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang's eyes are really poisonous. Although the boss's kimchi is free, the taste is very authentic. I guarantee you will want to eat it again."

The store is small, and the boss could hear what the two said clearly, and said cheerfully, "Fu Nian is a mouth that is used to coaxing people."

"That depends on who it is. I wouldn't change it for someone else."

The boss smiled and said: "Hehe, Cheng, I see, I will definitely put more meat for you."

"Alright, I'll just wait for your words."

Fu Nian is very clear about people. He treats people who are good to him, and he treats them back even more.

After a while, three bowls of noodles were on the table, and each bowl was full, twice as much as the table next to it.

"Eat it while it's hot, if it's not enough, I'll give it to you."

"Okay, I will definitely not be polite to you."

The man on the table next to him looked at his noodles, then at the noodles on Fu Nian's table, and said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, you are too deceitful, you spent the same amount of money, why should they have so much noodles?" So much more than mine."

"He's my relative. Not only does he have a lot of food, but he's also free." The boss still had a smile on his face.

The man said with an ugly face: "Boss, I heard what you said. How could any relative call you the boss directly? You think we are so foolish."

"No, you are really making fun of yourself. Since you heard what we said, you should know that we have a good relationship. Have you never invited friends to dinner?" The smile on the boss's face faded, and he said: " If you feel that you are at a loss, I will treat you to this bowl of noodles."

Seeing the people around him watching him whispering, the man's face suddenly became hot, he threw the chopsticks in his hand, and said, "This is the first time I've seen a shop like yours, with your service attitude, this shop Sooner or later it will close."

The elder sister sitting at the other table couldn't listen any longer and said, "No, what are you talking about? You are a friend. Please have a bowl of noodles. Why is it getting in your way?"

"That's right, it's just a bowl of noodles. If you can't afford it, don't come in. As for cursing others."

The boss smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the neighbors are very caring. My store has been open for 13 years, and I will continue to open it in the future."

"That's right." The eldest sister at the next table agreed: "In our neighborhood, his noodles are cheap, delicious, and the portions are big enough. Everyone in our neighborhood likes to come and eat."

The man's expression froze, he picked up his phone and scanned the QR code, and left in a desperate manner.

Fu Nian looked at the boss helplessly, and said, "Boss, when can you change your temper? People always make money with kindness, and your temper comes after you can't say a few words. Only the neighbors in this street can bear it. "

It's not that Fu Nian doesn't want to help, the main reason is that he is afraid of affecting the boss's business. This kind of thing happened before. The boss didn't control his temper and got into an argument with a customer. Later, he even made a move. It was Fu Nian who pushed him away at a critical moment. The boss gave it, and the customer's knife didn't stab him.Since then, the boss's attitude towards Fu Nian has become better and better, just like his own son.Later, Fu Nian resigned from his job and changed his mobile phone number, so he didn't contact her for a month.

"I'm already at this age, and it's time to reach retirement age. If I hadn't thought about me leaving, the old neighbors in the neighborhood wouldn't be able to eat my noodles. I would have gone home to retire a long time ago." The boss looked at The noodles in Fu Nian's bowl, said: "You eat your noodles, the noodles are lumpy."

"You... Forget it, I won't talk about it, I will leave a number for you later, if you need anything, call me."

"It's almost the same, eat quickly, I should be busy there."

Fu Nian lowered his head to eat the noodles, and still had the familiar taste. He picked up the spicy pepper on the table and added a spoonful, looked up at Zhang Yan and Ma Wu, and said with a smile, "How about it, it tastes good."

Ma Wu said while eating: "Mmmm, the stewed beef is so soft and tasty, it's really delicious."

"Well, the taste is very authentic, not worse than those sold in those big restaurants."

"I just like noodles. The noodles here are cheap and delicious. I used to come here almost every day. I don't eat them for a while. I really want to."

The three of them chatted while eating, and within a short while, the small shop was full, and when they went to visit again after a while, there was already a long queue outside the shop, and there were still people coming and queuing up one after another.

Fu Nian came over to help after eating the noodles, mainly to add toppings and soup to the bowl.Although it looks like an easy job, after a long time, the arms will feel sore.

Zhang Yan and Ma Wu were not idle either, one stared at the QR code and acted as a waiter.In this way, I kept busy until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the guests gradually swept away, and they had time to rest.

No one from the boss handed them a bottle of Coke, and said with a smile: "Three bowls of noodles for three free laborers, how is my business doing?"

Fu Nian took a sip of Coca-Cola and said, "Why don't you say that you can be the boss? This calculation is really clanging. I admire it! If this quick temper can be changed, the business here will be even better."

"I'm already at this age. If I can't do what I want, then what's the point of living in this life. What's more, we are not the kind of unreasonable people. If you are polite, I will be polite. If you are not welcome, I will be polite. But if you bully people, then I can't be polite."

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "You live a casual life, and you can see it openly. We are not as good as you."

"When I was young, I was just like you. In order to support my small family, I endured it again and again, fearing that I would lose control of myself and cut off my source of livelihood. I am an experienced person, and I understand all of this."

The boss looked at Fu Nian and asked, "Fu Nian, if I remember correctly, you should be 26 this year, how are you doing, have you got a girlfriend yet?"

Fu Nian smiled wryly and said, "I just found a job, and I can barely support myself, so I'm not qualified to have a girlfriend."

"Then what kind of job did you find, is it reliable?"

"As an assistant to the boss in a company, I just do some work of serving tea and pouring water. I don't feel tired at ordinary times, and it's quite leisurely."

"Oh, the salary shouldn't be high."

"It's not bad, it's better than food delivery."

The boss looked startled, and said: "How is your boss' temper, have you been wronged?"

"The boss has a bit of a temper. Just like you, he is a standard knife-mouthed tofu-hearted."

The boss' tone and question seemed to be concerned about his son. Fu Nian answered patiently and kindly.

"Then this job is not bad." The boss paused and said, "Have you seen my girl before?"

Fu Nian was startled, then nodded, and said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

"She is 28 years old, good-looking, and has a gentle temper. I think you are a good match."

"Boss, what are my conditions? You should be clear about how you can let your own daughter be like me." It's not that Fu Nian feels inferior. The main reason is that he can't protect himself now, and he is not qualified to fall in love at all.

The boss stared and said, "What's the matter with you? You are energetic and have a good character, not much better than those who have no sense of responsibility."

"No, doesn't your daughter have a boyfriend?"

"I just broke up some time ago. I didn't like that guy from the beginning. He is two years older than my daughter. He can't do anything. He always says what his mother said, and he is what you young people often say, mother, mother boy. "It can be heard that the boss is very dissatisfied with his daughter's boyfriend.

"Boss, I accept your wish. I don't want to fall in love yet. I just want to work hard and save some money, and open a small shop like you."

The boss's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he said, "That's just right, you and my daughter are married, and if I entrust this small shop to you, I can retire."

Fu Nian said dumbfoundedly: "Boss, if your daughter hears your words, maybe it will make you sad. To be honest, I really don't think about dating now, let alone getting married. I know that, You must not like to hear it, as if you look down on your daughter, but this is my truth, I can’t deal with you and waste your daughter’s time just because you are unhappy, it’s too irresponsible.”

The boss sighed for a long time, and said with a smile: "Although you have nothing, I like you to be my son-in-law, not for anything else, but because of your good character. My daughter will not be wronged if she follows you." .However, if the twisted melon is not sweet, then forget it.”

Fu Nian couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "If you say that your business is doing well, no one can compare to your excellent character of being reasonable."

The boss was amused, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, stop coaxing me."

"Boss, I still have something to do, so I won't chat with you. I'll come over for noodles another day."

"Leave a number and go and do your work."

Fu Nian left his cell phone number, and left the noodle shop with Zhang Yan.

Ma Wu looked at Fu Nian and asked, "Fu Nian, what does the boss's daughter look like?"

Fu Nian was taken aback by the question, then smiled and said, "She is pretty, mainly because she has a good personality, gentle and kind."

Ma Wu nodded and said, "The noodles here are good, let's come over to eat some other day."

Fu Nian jokingly said, "Brother Ma, do you want to eat noodles, or do you want to see people?"

"Eat noodles." Seeing that Fu Nian and Zhang Yan looked like 'I don't believe it', Ma Wu laughed 'hehe' twice, and said, "Of course, if there is someone here, let's take a look at him."

"Brother Ma, how old are you this year, don't you have a girlfriend yet?"

"I'm thirty. I had a girlfriend before, but they broke up. I'm currently single."

"One thirty, one 28, they are a good match in terms of age." Fu Nian paused, and said with a smile: "Then let's have noodles together some other day, maybe with good luck, we can meet the real boss."

Ma Wu smiled a little embarrassedly.

Zhang Yan looked at Fu Nian and said, "Fu Nian, have you decided where to go?"

Fu Nian took out his mobile phone, opened the website and searched, and said: "Gao Lingxuan did stay in Shen's Media, and after the contract was terminated, he went to Jiangting Studio. I met him a few days ago, and he is currently shooting an advertisement for Jiahua. Promotional video. Maybe we can talk to him, but Mr. Rong is not in Ningcheng, so we may not be able to make an appointment with him."

"Mr. Rong will come back on Monday. I don't want to see him in a hurry."

"That's right, let's go to Li Guangzhi, the traffic policeman who was dispatched at the time."

"Are you sure? He was the first to issue the accident responsibility certificate back then. If it was corrupted, he would be the first one. Didn't you just tell them that you were investigating the car accident?"

"My actions have been monitored by them a long time ago. They know everything I do now. They can't hide it if they want to hide it. It's better to tell them directly. I just became suspicious of the car accident that year. If they want to If we want to stop them, we will definitely find a way to take action, so that we have the opportunity to catch the vines, and the most fearful thing is that they will not move."

Zhang Yan looked at Fu Nian appreciatively, and said, "Fu Nian, has anyone ever told you that you are smart?"

Fu Nian was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Previously, Dui Wang tried his best to persuade me that I must study while working, and take the adult university to study criminal investigation."

"This team Wang is very discerning." Zhang Yan nodded approvingly, and said, "Fu Nian, if you don't want to work in Jiahua, you can come to our company. With your skills and wisdom, I believe you will be able to take over the task soon. "

Fu Nian said jokingly: "Brother Zhang, do the people in your company like to poach corners? After Mr. Chu has finished digging, you come to dig again. You really treat Mr. Rong as a soft persimmon."

Zhang Yan said in disbelief, "Boss poaching corners in front of Mr. Rong?"

"uh-huh."

Seeing Fu Nian nodding, Zhang Yan couldn't help saying in admiration, "Boss is indeed the boss. He dares to pull his teeth out of a tiger's mouth. You're so awesome!"

Fu Nian asked curiously: "Brother Zhang, Mr. Rong and your boss seem to have a very good relationship. Do you know how they met?"

While driving, Zhang Yan said: "Boss and Rong are always college classmates, just like your mother and sister Cui. Mr. Rong has a more cold personality, while our boss has a more cheerful temperament. The two are because they attended the school. We met at an event we organized. According to the boss, he pestered Mr. Rong for two years before they really became friends."

"Two years? Then your boss is really patient."

"Besides managing our company, that's probably the most patient thing the boss has ever done."

"Then why does he insist on being friends with Mr. Rong?"

"Our boss said that Mr. Rong helped him when he was in the most difficult time, and he also wanted to help Mr. Rong when it was the most difficult time. The boss didn't say what happened in the first place."

"So it is."

"Boss started the company with Mr. Rong's investment. Speaking of which, Mr. Rong is the largest shareholder of our company. Mr. Rong's shares are 50.00% one, and the boss's shares are 40.00%[-]. It's just that Mr. Rong has always refused to accept the shares. , and it’s still stored at our boss’s place.”

"Then their relationship is really good."

"That's right. Those shares are worth more than [-] million now."

"So many!" Fu Nian couldn't help being surprised.

"Our company is not only famous in Ningcheng, but also ranks first in the whole country." Zhang Yan's tone was full of undisguised pride.

"No wonder Mr. Chu said that this time he was working for nothing."

"Rong will never let the boss do it for nothing."

Fu Nian nodded and said, "Do you know Nanlin?"

"You're talking about Dr. Nan, right? Our boss, Dr. Nan, and Mr. Rong are good friends."

For some reason, Fu Nian was more concerned about Nanlin's existence and asked, "Which hospital is he a doctor?"

"Doctor Nan opened a private clinic, right in the city center."

"Then Dr. Nan is also Mr. Rong's college classmate?"

"That's not true. Doctor Nan and the boss knew each other. When the security company first opened, the boss was seriously injured on a mission. He was too late to go to the hospital, so he was sent to Dr. Nan's clinic nearby. Doctor Nan tried his best to save him. I met the boss, and became friends with the boss, and later the boss introduced Dr. Nan to Mr. Rong, so the three of them became close friends."

Hearing the words 'intimate', Fu Nian couldn't help imagining the scene of Nanlin treating Rongxi's injuries, and suddenly felt uncomfortable for some reason.
