gentle reunion

Naturally, Lan Tianran didn't go to pay the bill - Xu Zan made it up, he went to see Wang Ting.

The place where the two agreed to meet was a hotel, Lan Tianran expected that the two would chat while eating.

He didn't know until he arrived at the hotel that a gambling king theme party was being held here, and the royal court had quite a plan, and both fun and "business" were balanced.

Passing through the lively crowd, Lan Tianran found Wang Ting at a big gambling table.

"Wait until I finish playing this game." Wang Ting's eyes were fixed on the table, not willing to move away for a moment.

After a while, he lost and cursed: "Fuck, bad luck today."

Then he looked at Lan Tianran: "Are you playing or not? I remember that you are very good at these games, and you have inherited your father's gambling talent."

"Not playing." Lan Tianran refused.

"Why are you so boring." Wang Ting dropped his chips unhappily and left the gaming table, "What do you want from me? I didn't cause trouble."

Lan Tianran: "Come and see you."

"Are you here to spy on me? Did my mother ask you to come?" Wang Ting complained, "She is too worried."

Lan Tianran: "She cares about you, you should call back more."

Wang Ting looked annoyed: "I don't want to fight, she's too talkative, she's as good as your mother, isn't it good to play with yourself? I don't care what I do!"

The two walked to the bar, Wang Ting knocked on the counter and asked the bartender to mix two glasses of wine for them.

The bartender looked up, he was a handsome young man, Wang Ting's gaze was attracted by a magnet, and he stuck to it with a snap.

Lan Tianran: "What are your plans? Does your father have any objection if you continue playing like this every day?"

"...I haven't played for long." Wang Ting was more afraid of his father, so he reluctantly took back half of the soul that was sucked away by the bartender brother, "Don't complain."

Lan Tianran: "If he doesn't ask me, I won't take the initiative to say."

"You really..." Wang Ting slumped in depression.

Lan Tianran: "After returning to China, did you ask Sun Zhe to do anything for you?"

Wang Ting looked at him: "What did you do? I didn't do anything, you can't wrong me!"

Lan Tianran: "Remember that Sun Zhe followed you wherever you went before."

Wang Ting nodded: "He is very loyal, but now that he is the boss, he can no longer follow me, so he found two bodyguards for me."

"Oh? What kind of bodyguards? Are they here?" Lan Tianran looked around.

"Well, the two on the left." Wang Ting gestured to the rest area.

Lan Tianran took a look: "The two wearing black short sleeves?"

"Well, just the two of them."

The bartender brother pushed a glass of mixed wine to Lan Tianran and smiled at him.

"Thank you." Lan Tianran pushed the wine to Wang Ting, "You drink first."

Wang Ting picked up the glass of wine and raised it to the bartender: "It's useless, you're just winking at the blind."

Lan Tianran understood, but he didn't give any response, ignored Wang Ting, and didn't go to see the bartender. Being "blind" can reduce troubles in interpersonal communication.

At this time, there was a noise in the distance, Lan Tianran looked over there, and then he saw Kong Xichen.

He wondered: "Why did he come here?"

Wang Ting stretched his neck and looked over there: "Who's here?"

The bartender said: "Kong Xichen is a singer. It's not surprising that he came here. I have entertained superstar-level guests before."

The latter sentence was addressed to Lan Tianran.

"Celebrity, I'm going to see it." Wang Ting didn't know Kong Xichen, but the other party's celebrity status had a natural attraction, which made him want to join in the fun.

——As for the past seven years ago, he has long forgotten. There are countless little boys he has slept with, so how can he remember all of them.

Wang Ting ran away, and Lan Tianran sat at the bar without moving.

The bartender pushed another glass of wine over: "Taste it and see if you like it."

"Thank you."

Lan Tianran looked down at the glass of wine. There were a few clear ice cubes soaked in the beautiful red wine, and a piece of curly orange peel was placed on the edge of the glass. It was a nice cocktail.

I don't know if Xu Zanxi likes it or not.

He didn't want to get Xu Zan drunk, but he thought that Xu Zan would be more confused after drinking, which would make him feel more relaxed.

Try it next time Xu Zan comes to his house for dinner.

Thinking of this, Lan Tianran got up and left the bar.

The bartender looked at his back speechlessly. This guest was too aloof. He only thanked him twice when he came and went. He didn't taste a drop of wine or give him a smile.

On the way back to the company, Lan Tianran held the phone and looked at the window for about a quarter of an hour before finally turning on the phone and making a call.

"Dad." He called the person on the other side of the phone.

Lan Yan said, "Wait until I finish playing this game."

Lan Yan, like Wang Ting, is also at the gambling table today.Wang Ting only played occasionally, while Master Lan Wu spent a long time at the gambling table.

——Lan Yan owns a gambling boat, and he stays on that boat for half a year.

Five minutes later, Lan Yan spoke again: "Naturally, why did you call today?"

Lan Tianran will only call him once a year, that is, on the first day of the new year, he will call him to pay New Year's greetings.

In addition, I will send him several messages, respectively on the day of Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and his birthday.

——Lan Yan suspects that his assistant sent it for him.

Lan Tianran: "Dad, do you know Guo Xin? The former chairman of Xin'an City."

Lan Yan: "Yes, he has been on my boat a few times, but he doesn't play much, he mainly socializes with people."

Lan Tianran: "Can you introduce me to him?"

Lan Yan: "I'll notify you when he boards the boat?"

Do nothing, just wait for people to board the boat, I don't know how long it will take.

But Lan Yan is like this, he doesn't care about his son's affairs, and he didn't do it on purpose, he just always does this.

Lan Tianran didn't ask him to pay more attention, just said: "Okay, thank you."

He never expected his father to do anything special for him.If you give it, he will keep it; if you don't give it, he won't ask for it.

In fact, he could also meet Guo Xin through other means, but he didn't want to discuss business with Guo Xin, so it was meaningless to meet him specially.

Maybe there is also a way to avoid business and just have personal contacts, but Lan Tianran is not good at this.

Just make an appointment with his father first.

On Lan Yan's side, after the call ended, the sexy girl beside him asked him, "Fifth Master, who was it just now? Let you answer his call at the gaming table."

"Jealous?" Lan Yan smiled, "That's my son."

"Oh, so it's Young Master Lan."

"Not only can he let me answer his phone at the gaming table, but he can also let his grandfather answer his phone on the hospital bed." Lan Yan said proudly, "My son is the most powerful in the Lan family now, everyone has to give him face."

The girl covered her mouth and smiled: "Fifth Master is so lucky to have a good son."

"Yeah." Lan Yan raised his glass and drank with a smile. He had other things to do, so he didn't need to talk too much.

It is true that Lan Tianran is his biological son, but he is not close to him.He has a better relationship with his nephews and nieces than with his own son.

Nephews and nieces, you can win their hugs and kisses as long as you give gifts. Son, you give him ten times the gift, and his reaction to you is just to say thank you, or the kind without a smile.

At noon that day, when Xu Zan was busy in the company, Liu Jin's name suddenly popped up on his phone. He was very surprised. He went back to his office, closed the office door, and then answered the phone: "Brother Liu?"

"In the past few days, several people suddenly asked me about you." Liu Jin said.

"Who? Ask me what?" Xu Zan asked.

Liu Jin mentioned a few names, all of whom are well-known in the business world—there are no names that ordinary people know, but you can find news about them just by searching their names on the Internet.

"Ask everything, and I'm especially interested in you."

Xu Zan frowned: "I don't know them. If they are really interested in me, they should come directly to my company to find me. How did you tell them?"

"I said I know you, but we are totally unfamiliar." Liu Jin laughed.

Xu Zan also smiled: "Yes, we know each other, but there are many people who know me, why did they ask you about my situation?"

"I feel," Liu Jin's voice suddenly became serious, "They want to know if you have invested in Juxin."

"What do you mean? They asked you if I have invested in dark stocks?"

Ming shares can be found, so there is no need to ask Liu Jin specifically.

"That's right." Liu Jin said, "They want to know the source of my capital at the beginning of Juxin, and want to know if you 'lend' me the money back then."

Xu Zan wandered around in the office and asked, "How did you tell them?"

"I don't admit it or deny it. As for how they understand it, I don't know."

"Ah."

"What's going on?" Liu Jin asked, "What do they want to ask about this?"

"I don't know, I'll check it out."

Xu Zan's first feeling was still: The Wang family is playing tricks.

However, since the Wang family went abroad for a few years, their domestic influence should have weakened a lot, and they should not be able to order those business people casually.

"Do you need me to do anything?" Liu Jin asked.

"Let me think about it first, I will definitely find you if I need it, thank you."

Liu Jin said with a smile: "We brothers lived together to live and die together, this is nothing."

Xu Zan also smiled: "Brothers also have to thank you."

After chatting with Liu Jin, Xu Zan sent a message to Zhao Hong: Are you at the office this afternoon?I will go there in the afternoon.

Zhao Hong: I have a client this afternoon.Have lunch together?

Xu Zan: I have an appointment for lunch.What time are you free in the afternoon?

Zhao Hong: I'm free before three o'clock.

Xu Zan: OK, I'll go there later.

After lunch, Xu Zan went to Zhao Hong's law firm.

As soon as he entered Zhao Hong's office, he saw Xiang Xiang was there again. He was still sitting opposite Zhao Hong, but he was no longer pretending to read law books. He was eating a piece of rainbow-colored sliced ​​cake.

"Why are you here again?" When Xu Zan asked, he gave Zhao Hong a look. What he wanted to hear was not what Xiang Xiang said, but Zhao Hong's explanation.

Xiang Xiang said: "I am his client now."

Zhao Hong pushed his glasses and nodded.

Xu Zan sat down on the sofa and said to Zhao Hong: "Charge him more for the lawyer's fee and change to a better office. This small room is too uncomfortable now."

Xiang Xiang: "I also asked him to change his office, but he refused."

Seeing that the crutches were still leaning against the file cabinet, Xu Zan asked, "Old Zhao, how is your foot? Are you ready?"

"It's basically done." Zhao Hong said.

He had been injured for a hundred days, and his injury was much more serious than Lan Tianran's.

The scabs on Lan Tianran's legs have not completely fallen off.

"Not yet, now he's not hurting, but it's starting to itch," Xiang Xiang smirked, "He was still scratching his feet just before you came in."

Xu Zan looked at Zhao Hong's feet.

Zhao Hong: "..."

Xu Zan: "Itching is a sign of getting better, and the damaged blood vessels and tissues are being regenerated."

"I know." Zhao Hong smiled wryly, "but it's very uncomfortable, as if there are ants crawling under the skin all the time."

"Soaking feet in hot water should relieve the symptoms of itching." Xu Zan is a semi-expert in terms of injuries.

"Okay, I'll try it when I get home."

Xu Zan nodded and began to talk about business: "I came today because I got a message that someone went to Yazhou to check on me. I don't know what they are doing."

"Who? You are so bold, you dare to go to Yazhou to find trouble." Xiang Xiang kicked the table and turned the chair. He stretched his legs and raised Erlang's legs arrogantly. "Or that Sun Zhe? Or Wang Ting?"

Xiang Qu is from Yazhou, and his family has deep roots there, so he regards it as his own territory.

Zhao Hong looked at Xiang Xiang in surprise, and the other party's sudden "rogue" behavior surprised him.

Xu Zan said, "I don't know."

"What's going on?" Zhao Hong stopped looking at Xiang Xiang and turned his attention to Xu Zan, "How many people have you offended?"

Xu Zan: "I don't know, I think I'm kind to others, and I haven't offended anyone."

Xiang Xiang laughed out loud.
