Chapter 138: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
When lunch was served, Lu Pingsheng's dining table and coffee table were full.
Lu Pingsheng had just returned from delivering food to the Wei family. He saw three people looking at the food on the table with the same greedy look. A rather arrogant civet cat was squatting on the chair where he was sitting.
He walked over, found another chair and sat down, picked up his chopsticks and said to the three people:
"Began to eat."
Half an hour later, not only was everything on the table eaten up, but even the food on the coffee table was gone.
Yang Qiushi mixed the soup from the braised pork with rice and ate it with big mouthfuls of relish.
Lu Pingsheng brought a cup of tea to relieve the greasiness and said, "You are so full that you are burping, why do you still want to eat?"
Yang Qiushi said embarrassedly: "My mother said that we should not waste food. I have never eaten such delicious food before, so I must not waste it."
Lu Pingsheng took another look at Laba, who was curled up on the sofa like a puppy and yawning contentedly, and said:
"Do you eat like this at the Wei family?"
Laba lifted his eyelids to look at him, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Only Wei Miao picked up the teacup, drank the tea and rinsed his mouth, saying:
"Brother Lu, when the waiter comes to clear the plates, tell him that today's steamed fish is overcooked."
Lu Pingsheng laughed out loud, "People say, you little brats, you're eating me out of money. You guys are eating more than the army."
Wei Miao chuckled and said, "Are we more capable than the special forces you mentioned?"
Just as Lu Pingsheng was about to hit her once or twice, the phone rang.
He picked up the phone and the voice of White Rose came from the other end.
"Zhang Er wants to treat you to a meal."
Lu Pingsheng's tone was unremarkable, "You were invited to be a lobbyist?"
White Rose said with a hint of sarcasm, "You don't know me yet. As long as the benefits are great, I'll just pass on the message."
Lu Pingsheng smiled, "I want 60%."
Bai Meigui's breathing became heavier. "Mr. Lu is indeed a qualified businessman. At most half, otherwise you can do whatever you want."
Lu Pingsheng said: "No need to eat, tell him that this time his life is worth 100 large yellow croakers, if there is a next time, the fate of those lackeys will be his."
Bai Meigui couldn't help but tremble as she thought about the photos she had seen.
Those people could no longer be called human beings. After being sent to the hospital, some of them had centipedes and ants crawling out of their nostrils and mouths, and their flesh and blood were covered with densely packed unknown insects.
It is said that of the two who died on the spot, only their bones were left, but their internal organs could still be seen beating.
Two of those who were sent to the hospital went crazy on the spot, and the condition of the rest is unknown now.
Wu Ziyang made a direct call to the old man above and gave him the clear information about those people whose faces he couldn't even see.
This group of people were hired by the Qing Gang to do dirty things. They were kept secret from the outside world and only a few people knew about it inside.
But a deputy chief inspector of the concession knew everything, which made the old men suspect that someone's mouth had been pried open.
The key point is that Wu Ziyang directly said that the mastermind was Zhang Er, which is very interesting.
The gang is now divided into three factions, one is the pro-Japanese faction headed by Zhang Er, and the other is the pro-Nanjing faction headed by the old man.
Also, the group of people she is with only cares about money and nothing else.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Lu for your kindness. I'll have someone deliver the stuff this afternoon."
Lu Pingsheng hung up the phone, lowered his eyes and sneered.
Zhang Er was a quick reacter, giving away his money to ensure safety.
If he knew that before this, he had received a call from the General Administration of Customs, although it was not stated explicitly, he was given the position of section chief that only a Japanese could hold, which could be considered a disguised appeasement.
I wonder if Zhang Er, the boy who gives away money, will beat his chest and stamp his feet.
Lu Pingsheng turned his head and saw Wei Miao looking at him cunningly.
"Come with me to the bedroom."
Wei Miao followed happily. After Lu Pingsheng waited for her to sit down opposite him obediently, he discussed with her:
"I can't touch this money. I plan to continue investing in shipping. With this money, I can lobby other people and maybe I can get another ship."
Wei Miao's eyes rolled slightly, and he took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Lu Pingsheng.
"Please do me a favor."
Lu Pingsheng looked at the ordinary key and looked at Wei Miao in confusion, waiting for what to say next.
Wei Miao took out another land deed from his bag.
"Where did the house come from?"
Wei Miao did not hide anything and told Lu Pingsheng everything he could about his departure from the old stall owner.
After listening to this, Lu Pingsheng looked at the keys and house deeds in front of him with a complicated expression.
"So why did you tell me?"
This was his shameful moment, as he had just traveled through time and space and wanted to replicate the legend of the antique world.
Then he was scammed by an old man and a young man out of 25,000 yuan.
"With so much money, you only got a thousand dollars and a shabby house?" Lu Pingsheng was very disappointed.
Wei Miao's face was as matter of course, "I originally only wanted 500."
Lupin stood up angrily and walked around the room. Every step he took was heavy, showing his embarrassment and anger.
"Why aren't you so soft on me?" He almost gritted his teeth.
Wei Miao looked at him with clear eyes and said seriously: "You are different from him."
"Why is it different?"
Wei Miao heard the sound of teeth grinding and said honestly: "You and I are not doing business. You are different in my heart."
When Lu Pingsheng heard this, he was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to be moved, he heard Wei Miao continue:
"We have been partners for a long time. Didn't you say that you wanted me to sleep on the gold bars?"
Lu Pingsheng: ...
Dinner, Wei family.
Wei Ada and Xu Ayu looked at Lu Pingsheng in surprise, "Mr. Lu, do you want to spend money to buy our house?"
Lu Pingsheng smiled shyly, "I've been busy these days, and I just heard from Ah Miao yesterday that you guys wanted to move to the concession."
Xu Ayu nodded, "But there was cholera some time ago, so it's not easy to sell houses."
Lu Pingsheng smiled and said, "Things often happen by coincidence. I was just tired of having too many things at home and no place to put them. I also needed to hire a driver and a nanny, so I wanted to look for a house nearby."
Lu Pingsheng spoke naturally and sincerely, and the couple was overjoyed.
Wei Ada said: "If Mr. Lu is willing to take over, we will be happy. This house is my ancestral home. I always feel empty if I sell it to others."
Lu Pingsheng glanced at Wei Miao, who was obediently accompanying Xu Ayu, and said with a smile:
"I heard from A Miao that you guys weren't having much luck finding a house in the concession."
Wei Ada has a say in this matter. "A house of the same size would cost twice as much in the concession."
Lu Pingsheng said: "I have a friend who owns a house in the concession and asked me to take care of it. The size and layout are not much different from where you live now, and the price is half the price..."
After hearing this, Xu Ayu's eyes lit up, and then he asked, "Why?"
Lu Pingsheng looked at Wei Miao again and smiled, "The house has not been occupied for many years, and it is quite run-down. It may cost money to repair it."
Wei Ada rubbed his hands excitedly and said hurriedly: "Repairs are not a big deal, but can I go and check on the house?"
Lu Pingsheng nodded.
After the agreed time and Lu Pingsheng left, Xu Ayu pulled Wei Miao into the house and looked his daughter up and down.
"Ah Miao, Mr. Lu doesn't know that you are a girl."
Wei Miao thought about it carefully and shook his head honestly.
Xu Ayu thought about how Lu Pingsheng kept looking at her daughter and smiled, and she felt a little scared.
After a long while, his face flushed and he managed to say: "Ah Miao, Mr. Lu..."
Looking at his daughter's innocent eyes, Xu Ayu gritted his teeth and said:
"Ah Miao, you are a grown-up girl now. From now on, you are not allowed to stay too late with Mr. Lu, let alone spend the night at his house."
Wei Miao: ...
