PDLP Chapter 174 Jiang Yu
Chapter 174 Jiang Yu
He went to find Fang Ru first.
It must have been specifically stated that as soon as Xu Shu entered the store, the shop assistant asked him to go upstairs to meet Fang Ru.
He didn't hesitate and went straight to the room where they met last time.
There was not only Fang Ru waiting for him, but two others, an old man with white beard and a young man about the same age as Xu Shu.
As soon as he saw Xu Shu, the young man smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, and said in a very familiar tone: "Just as I was talking, you came."
Xu Shu glanced at the man and found him strangely familiar.
He greeted Fang Ru symbolically and asked, "Manager Fang, who are these two?"
Fang Ru laughed awkwardly, her acting was poor: "These two are the owners of the two gambling houses next door. Your relative...his name is Li Ziguang, right? He owes a lot of money to these two houses."
"Oh." Xu Shu nodded in understanding, and without hesitation pulled out a stool and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "How much?"
The old man snorted coldly: "Your relative owes our gambling house a hundred thousand taels of silver."
Xu Shu took a sip of tea and nodded slowly.
The old man was irritable and immediately slammed the table and cursed: "You bastard, don't be so shameless. If it weren't for Manager Fang's face, I would have beaten your relative to death long ago!"
"Beat him to death?" Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man. "Can you find him?"
People really can't be found.
Touching their sore spot, the wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to deepen a lot. He swung the cane in his hand, intending to swing it directly at Xu Shu.
Xu Shucai couldn't help him, he grabbed the cane with one hand and put his other hand around his neck.
The young man at the side quickly grabbed Xu Shu's wrist, but did not use force to stop him. He just smiled and said, "Brother Xu, calm down."
"Who is your Brother Xu?" Xu Shu did not appreciate his kindness. This trick of one person being the red face and the other the black face was really clumsy when used on him.
"Mr. Xu, you can't say that." Fang Ru saw that things were not going well and stepped forward to persuade him, acting like a peacemaker, "It is only natural to pay back debts."
"I said that if you kill someone, you must pay with your life." Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and glared at him.
A hint of surprise flashed across Fang Ru's eyes, and then his face darkened, as if he thought Xu Shu was not giving him face.
He fell silent, and the atmosphere became stagnant.
The old man tried several times to pull the cane out of Xu Shu's hand, but failed. Xu Shu was annoyed by his noise and strangled him. Soon the old man's face turned red and he was breathing heavily.
Xu Shu heard him breathing heavily and was worried that he would die before he could trick him, so he was thinking about letting him go first.
The young man next to him was just saying, "Mr. Wei, calm down. Let's sit down and talk it over."
"No matter what, Mr. Xu bought Muyi Building, and we are on the same boat. We can't hurt each other's relationship because of such a small matter. Will we still do business with each other in the future?"
Xu Shu felt strange. Why did this young man want to persuade this old man? Was he trying to sow discord?
Sure enough, the old man surnamed Wei opened his mouth, but could not say anything. He just stared at Xu Shu with resentment.
Xu Shu secretly sighed that this person was very scheming, but he didn't care about making enemies with this group of guys. They were on a life-and-death relationship anyway, so what was the harm in making enemies two days earlier?
Fang Ru calmed down and tried to persuade Xu Shu with a serious face: "Mr. Xu, Jiang Yu is right. Calm down and don't cause any deaths. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Jiang Yu? Xu Shu frowned and looked at the young man a few more times.
Jiang Yu noticed it and smiled at him gently: "Mr. Xu, don't be angry, too."
He is just a smiling tiger.
However, Xu Shu still let go of his hand with a cold face.
After everyone sat down, Jiang Yu was the first to speak: "Mr. Wei, I just advised you that you should not get angry easily when you are old. You see, if Manager Fang and I hadn't stopped you, something might have happened."
Old Wei was obviously an irritable old man who wanted to save face. When he heard this, he not only did not calm down, but he threw the teacup in anger: "Jiang Yu, don't be too proud too soon. It's still uncertain whether Changping County and Qingshui Town can be defended. When the time comes, you will cry."
"Yes, yes, I'll cry when the time comes." Jiang Yu responded good-temperedly, but his words were even more sarcastic than Xiao Ran's.
Xu Shuben thought that he was just trying to sow discord between him and the old man, but he didn't expect that this guy would attack indiscriminately. For a moment, he couldn't understand his intention.
But this is all off topic. Fang Ru coughed lightly and got back to the topic: "Mr. Xu, why did you come to see me today?"
"Oh." Xu Shu took out the contract he had drafted early in the morning and handed it to Fang Ru. "I have a small business and I want to ask Manager Fang to invest in it."
Fang Ru frowned as he took the contract, looked at it carefully, and asked, "What is this mahjong?"
Xu Shu shook his head: "It's just a new way to play. If Brother Fang wants to join, I'll show you after you sign the contract."
"It will only be shown after the contract is signed?" Fang Ru was confused and continued to read the contract.
When he saw that he was asked to hand over the land deed, provide the venue, and split the profits 20% to 80%, with Xu Shu getting 80%, he immediately slammed the table and said, "Xu Shu, are you kidding me?"
Seeing him like this, Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh: "It's something we both agreed to, why do you say that, Manager Fang? If you don't want to sign, then don't sign."
"How could anyone in this world be willing to sign this?" Fang Ru was so angry that she said, "You haven't even shown us what mahjong is. It's clear that you don't have a sincere heart to discuss cooperation."
Xu Shu cried out that he was wronged, and then looked at Jiang Yu: "Mr. Jiang, are you interested?"
Jiang Yu was really interested and took it and examined it carefully.
But after reading it, I couldn't help laughing: "The Robber's Deed, I like it."
Then he looked at Fang Ru: "Shopkeeper Fang, this thing is so novel, if it's me, I'll sign it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the brush from the antique shelf behind him and began to grind ink.
Xu Shu's eyelids twitched. Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't seem to be joking, he didn't understand Jiang Yu's train of thought for a moment.
He wrote this contract because he knew that no one would be willing to be taken advantage of and lose both their money and their lives by his fictitious "mahjong".
He had no intention of getting anyone to sign it. He just used this thing to show his attitude to these shop owners and bosses, so that he could focus on business battles in the future without having to perform such disgusting dramas.
But...did he underestimate the ancient people?
As if sensing Xu Shu's inquiring gaze, Jiang Yu stopped grinding the ink and looked at Xu Shu seriously: "I am abrupt. I haven't introduced myself properly yet."
"My last name is Jiang Yu, and I am the current head of the Jiang family in Yuzhou. I am 25 years old, not talented, but I am very rich."
"Some time ago, I found a wounded bird on the roadside. I took good care of it for nearly three months, but it was always unhappy and refused to pay any attention to me."
"The mahjong thing mentioned in Mr. Xu's contract is novel and interesting. I am also very curious."
"It would be nice if I could spend this little money to make him smile."
