Chapter 199 Seven Killings
Zheng Xiaowan's face showed surprise. Only then did she realize that she had always underestimated Tang Shuo's ambition.
In fact, in her eyes, Tang Shuo was already very successful. Running a club like Nan Guo in Yanjing was not an easy task, and Tang Shuo had done well enough.
Nanguo's annual net profit is approximately 100 million Chinese Yuan, and this figure could have been much higher. However, in order to provide higher-quality services, the club initially compressed its net profit to the lowest possible level.
This number is a goal that an ordinary person would never be able to reach in a lifetime, but Tang Shuo is still not satisfied.
What does this guy want?
Zheng Xiaowan thought about it carefully and said, "Mingzhu!"
Tang Shuo nodded slowly, took a sip of water and said, "Go on."
"Mingzhu's economy is superior to Yanjing's. Some of the young masters there may not have the same power and background as those in Yanjing." Zheng Xiaowan continued slowly, "But when it comes to wealth, they are still much better than those young masters in Yanjing."
After listening to this, Tang Shuo leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to ponder Zheng Xiaowan's suggestion. Zheng Xiaowan was right. Behemoths like the five major families were rare in the entire Yanjing, and of course they could not be used as objects of comparison.
And in Mingzhu, the most economically developed city in China, there is naturally no shortage of outstanding talents.
If I can establish a certain network of contacts in Mingzhu, then they will definitely be useful in the future.
It's Mingzhu! Tang Shuo opened his eyes, looked at Zheng Xiaowan and said, "If I want to open another Nanguo in Mingzhu, can you handle this matter?"
Decision made so quickly?
Zheng Xiaowan looked at Tang Shuo in astonishment. This was too casual!
If you want to have a certain influence in Mingzhu, you don’t need such a deep background in Yanjing, but you must have what you need.
If there is no one to protect you, even a little devil who appears along the way can ruin this matter.
Zheng Xiaowan naturally knew that Tang Shuo was not looking for her because of her background, but was asking her if she had the ability to do the overt management work, just like the role she currently played in Nan Guo.
However, when she started to manage the Southern Kingdom, Fang Shirou had been in charge for a while, so there were no accidents.
If she was pushed out right from the start, and in Mingzhu where she was unfamiliar with the place, the difficulty could be imagined, so Zheng Xiaowan was a little undecided for a while.
"Is it not possible?" Tang Shuo chuckled and said, "If it's not possible, don't force yourself. You can still help me manage this place."
Seeing Tang Shuo's contemptuous look, Zheng Xiaowan bit her teeth and said viciously, "I'll go!"
If investor Tang Shuo is not afraid, what should I worry about?
Besides, at worst, the investment would go down the drain, which wouldn't be a huge loss for her. Even if Tang Shuo wanted to pursue the matter, what could he do to her?
Seeing that his provocation had succeeded, Tang Shuo smiled and said, "This is just a heads-up for you. Just be prepared and find someone who can take over your current position as soon as possible."
Even though Tang Shuo wanted to speed up, he was constrained by funding and was unable to do so for the time being.
The money from Datang Pharmaceutical is difficult to split because it has been invested in a biopharmaceutical research laboratory. As for real estate, the approval for building the wharf has not yet been obtained. Even if it can make a profit, it is too early to talk about it.
So this matter can only be put on hold for the time being.
"I understand." Zheng Xiaowan nodded.
Suddenly, the phone in Tang Shuo's office rang. Tang Shuo stood up, walked to his desk, and answered it. It was a cross-exchange number.
A sweet-voiced woman on the other end of the line immediately asked, "Boss, there's a guest named Tan Zhuojun who wants to see you."
Are you here with bad intentions?
Tang Shuo raised his eyebrows and asked into the receiver, "Where is it?"
"In the lounge on the second floor."
"Tell him I'll be right down."
Tang Shuo hung up the phone. After tidying up his clothes, he said to Zheng Xiaowan, who was still sitting on the sofa, "I'm going to meet someone. Come with me."
--------
South China Club, lounge.
A man in his early thirties, dressed in military uniform, sat on a sofa in the middle of the lounge, drinking with a woman of impressive figure in his arms with a smile on his face.
This woman's appearance is not particularly beautiful, but the pair of jade rabbits on her chest are enough to make people unable to take their eyes off her.
Judging from the rank on the man’s uniform, he is now a colonel.
In this peaceful era, a thirty-year-old colonel is enough to shock everyone.
When Tang Shuo and Zheng Xiaowan appeared in the lounge on the second floor, the man put down the wine glass in his hand and waved to Tang Shuo with a smile on his face, as if he was very familiar with Tang Shuo.
Tang Shuo walked directly to the man and sat down. Zheng Xiaowan, who followed behind him, hesitated for a moment and then sat next to Tang Shuo.
Tang Shuo looked at the other person and said directly, "You want to see me?"
This man is Tan Zhuojun who asked to see Tang Shuo!
Although Tang Shuo had never met this man, he had heard of the name Tan Zhuojun. He was nicknamed the Three Heroes of Yanjing. Among Pojun, Tanlang, and Qisha, Tang Shuo had never met Qisha!
Putting aside Tan Zhuojun's other identities, just based on the fact that he is Liu Yanzhe's mortal enemy, Tang Shuo would also meet with him.
However, he is not clear about the other party's intentions yet and cannot trust the other party for the time being.
Because Fang Shirou had already told him that Tan Zhuojun had once pursued her.
"good."
Tan Zhuojun looked at Tang Shuo and nodded in satisfaction. He took the initiative to pour Tang Shuo a glass of wine and said, "Let's have a drink first."
Tang Shuo didn't buy the other party's face. Without even touching the wine glass in front of him, he asked directly: "What is your purpose?"
"Don't worry, you and I are not enemies." Tan Zhuojun said with a smile: "I'll do it first."
After saying that, he drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.
Tang Shuo narrowed his eyes and looked at Tan Zhuojun. After shaking his head, he also picked up the cup and took a sip. No matter whether the two were enemies or not, he had to drink a glass with the other party just because of the other party's generosity.
Moreover, when the senior sister was pursued by Liu Yanzhe before, Tan Zhuojun intervened and helped the senior sister.
Of course, the most important thing is that he did not feel any hostility from Tan Zhuojun.
Seeing Tang Shuo also drink up the wine in his glass in one gulp, Tan Zhuojun laughed and said, "What you did in Guangyue is really pleasing to the people. If I hadn't been short of time, I would have wanted to fly over to see you."
Tang Shuo frowned, but he did not deny what Tan Zhuojun said.
There must be many people who can guess that it was him who did this, so it is naturally impossible to refute it.
And in fact, it was indeed he who did it. The more critical question now is what exactly was Tan Zhuojun's purpose in coming here.
Tan Zhuojun filled his and Tang Shuo's glasses again and said to Tang Shuo with a smile, "Come on, let's have another drink!"
Tang Shuo was really overwhelmed by Tan Zhuojun's enthusiasm. What on earth did this guy want to do?
Tang Shuo reached out to stop Tan Zhuojun from toasting and asked, "First, tell me why you're looking for me."
Tan Zhuojun shook his head in confusion, raised the wine glass in his hand, and replied, "Drink!"
“…”
Tang Shuo looked at Tan Zhuojun speechlessly. Was the other party's purpose just to drink?
Seeing that Tan Zhuojun was also very straightforward, Tang Shuo took the initiative to ask, "What's going on between you and my senior sister?"
"It was just a misunderstanding." Tan Zhuojun immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "At that time, I saw Liu Yanzhe wanted to pursue Tang Mengzhi, so I deliberately sabotaged it."
As if worried that Tang Shuo wouldn't believe him, Tan Zhuojun pinched the woman's breasts and said with a lewd smile, "I have no interest in women below E."
He had been paying attention to Liu Yanzhe's information. When Tang Shuo killed Liu Yanzhe, he knew the whole story even earlier than the Liu family.
After sending someone to check Tang Shuo's information, Tan Zhuojun became interested in Tang Shuo.
Since he knew that Tang Shuo killed Liu Yanzhe because of Fang Shirou, he naturally had to explain the matter clearly.
