Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

After taking a ten-hour train ride, it was already afternoon when Cao Liang and Gangzi arrived in Shanglu.

Out of the station.

Gangzi asked: "Liangzi, where are we going now?"

It was still the same as before. Every time he went out with Cao Liang, he would do whatever Cao Liang said.

"Let's find a place to stay first. My senior brother just sent me the address last month, so let's go find him.

Fortunately, Chi Huzao was in Shanglu, otherwise, he would have found it difficult to do anything as he was unfamiliar with the place.

Li Huaide is such a boastful guy. He asked him to go on a business trip but he didn't even find a guide for him.

Isn't this making things difficult for him?

Doesn’t he have any old comrades in Shanglu?

That’s quite good.

"It just so happens that I haven't seen Tiger Lord and Xiao Wu for a while, so I can go have a drink with them."

Gangzi smiled and nodded.

Cao Liang found a rickshaw driver and told him the address.

after a while.

The two got out of the car in front of a courtyard.

After paying the money, Cao Liang looked at the courtyard in front of him and said with a smile: "My senior brother has a good eye! He actually found such a place."

The beach is one kilometer southwest of the courtyard.

I guess Chi Hu spent a lot of money to build this yard.

Cao Liang said to Gangzi, "Go knock on the door!"

Gangzi went forward and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A familiar voice came from inside.

Soon the door was opened, and it was Xiaowu.

When Xiaowu saw Cao Liang and Gangzi, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Cao Liang laughed and said, "Don't rub it, it's real."

"Hey, Master Cao, Gangzi, why are you here in Shanglu?"

Xiao Wu happily led Cao Liang and the other man into the yard, and shouted, "Master Tiger, Lao Hei, look who's here?"

"What are you yelling about, you little bastard?"

Chi Hu came out cursing, and was also stunned when he saw Cao Liang, "Liangzi? Why are you here?"

Soon Lao Hei also came out.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "Of course I missed you, so I came to see you!"

"Stop it!"

Chi Hu laughed and scolded: "I don't know you, kid, would never stand if you can lie down. Why would you come all the way to see me?"

Cao Liang pretended to be sad and said, "Brother, I am really sad when you say this! Considering our relationship, let me see what's wrong with you?"

"Okay, I'll believe what you say. Where's that thing?"

Chi Hu stretched out his hand and asked.

"what's that?"

Chi Hu said unhappily, "You came to see me, but you didn't bring anything with you?"

"Okay! Actually, I came to Shanglu on a business trip, and my senior brother happened to be here, so I came to seek refuge with you."

Cao Liang spread his hands.

"I knew it."

Chi Hu rolled his eyes at Cao Liang, then said to Xiao Wu, "What are you still standing there for? Go get some good wine and food to welcome my fellow apprentices!"

"Dele."

...

yard.

Chi Hu, Xiao Wu, Lao Hei, Cao Liang and Gang Zi were drinking.

Chi Hu said, "Liangzi, what's the matter with you coming to Shanglu this time?"

"It's all because of those black-hearted leaders who said they wanted to give out year-end benefits and asked me to come here to get seafood. You know, my wife is about to give birth. They really order people around."

Cao Liang complained.

"My sister-in-law is about to give birth? It's a pity that I'm not here, otherwise I would have given my eldest nephew a big red envelope."

Chi Hu laughed.

"It's not a pity, it will be the same for me, hehe."

Chi Hu was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued: "If you want to get seafood, I know someone who should be able to get a lot of it."

"That's a good feeling."

Cao Liang said happily: "To be honest, I am unfamiliar with this place. I only know you, my senior brother, and I came here to ask for your help."

Chi Hu smiled and asked, "How much do you want?"

Cao Liang estimated and said, "At least two thousand kilograms, right? The more the better."

Chi Hu nodded, "Then I'll take you to see it tomorrow. I don't know if he can get so much."

Cao Liang cupped his hands and smiled, "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Brother."

"Why are we being so polite to each other?"

Chi Hu waved his hands unhappily.

Cao Liang said, "Brother, you have been in Shanglu for several months. How are your connections going?"

"There are a few good ones."

Chi Hu shook his head and said, "You told me to keep a low profile these few years, so I have been spending most of the past few months enjoying my retirement, going to the beach to fish every day."

Cao Liang joked, "I think you might as well find me a sister-in-law, since I have nothing to do these few years anyway."

"Laohei and Xiaowu are not young anymore, it's time for them to have a descendant."

After these words were spoken, Xiao Wu looked at Chi Hu expectantly.

Because they are doing shameful things, for the sake of safety, they have not yet started a family.

Xiaowu is already in his twenties.

Lao Hei and Chi Hu are already in their thirties.

Chi Hu glanced at Xiao Wu and Lao Hei, nodded and said, "Okay! According to what you said, you probably won't be able to work for ten years. It's not bad to find a wife to live with. Otherwise, a few rough guys will live together and have to do everything by themselves."

Chi Hu joked, "If I hadn't saved a lot before, I would have been afraid that Lao Hei and Xiao Wu would have bankrupted me."

"Speaking of money, it reminds me of the secret recipe."

Cao Liang took out a big black ten and handed it to Lao Hei, "This is the money from selling medicine during this period."

Lao Hei counted them and grinned, "Wow, it looks like we sold quite a few, hundreds of them!"

"It just so happens that there are two people in need in our hospital."

Cao Liang smiled.

After three rounds of drinking.

Everybody went to rest.

Early the next day.

Chi Hu took Cao Liang and Gangzi to a seafood restaurant at the pier.

"Is Boss Zou here?"

A fat man came out with a smile on his face. When he saw Chi Hu, he said with a smile, "Hey, isn't this Boss Chi? How come you have time to come to my place today?"

"I'm going to introduce you to a big business. It depends on whether you have the ability to take it."

After Chi Hu finished speaking, he looked at Cao Liang.

"Hello, Mr. Zou. My last name is Cao."

Cao Liang stretched out his hand.

Boss Zou reached out his hand and shook hands with Cao Liang. "Hello, Boss Cao. What is the big deal that Boss Chi is talking about?"

Cao Liang said: "I want a batch of seafood, the more the better."

Boss Zou's eyes lit up, "I wonder what kind of seafood Boss Cao plans to order?"

"A common one will do, preferably no less than 2,000 kilograms. I wonder if Boss Zou can get one?"

Cao Liang said.

"That must be possible."

Boss Zou said excitedly: "I can get as many as you want, but it just takes some time to prepare."

"Approximately how long will it take?"

Cao Liang said: "I'm afraid I don't have that much time."

His wife was about to give birth, but he was still rushing back.

Boss Zou thought for a moment and said, "If it's two thousand kilograms, it will take at least three days."

"Then two thousand pounds."

Cao Liang just wanted to finish the work quickly so that he could return to Sijiu City.

In this weather, you don't have to worry about it breaking down.

There is no problem in transporting it back to Beijing.

"no problem."

Boss Zou immediately smiled and rubbed his hands, saying, "This is business! Boss Cao, you also know..."

Cao Liang understood that this meant a deposit was required.

Cao Liang looked at Chi Hu, who nodded to show that he could believe it.

"How many?"

"You were introduced by Boss Chi, so just give me some money, a thousand will be enough."
