Hearing this, the man was stunned and his eyes became red again. In his later years, it should be he, as his son, who should support him.
But now...
Zhai Jiu pursed his lips with a headache, turned his head and looked at him, his voice calm but impatient: "Have you cried enough? If not, go back and cry at night. I am very busy and don't have time to see you cry."
The man suppressed his emotions, wiped away the tears from his eyes, and smiled ugly, "Sorry, I couldn't control myself for a moment."
In fact, it was not just for a while. Every late night, he would wonder why he never received a reply. Did his parents...
I can't help crying when I think about it.
Zhai Jiu opened the car door and got in. Seeing this, the man hurriedly followed him in.
The car started again, and the man looked at Zhai Jiu and asked carefully: "What important things do you want to do here?"
Zhai Jiu glanced at him and said, "What? Are you going to complain..."
The man waved his hands and said, "No, how could I do such a thing? It's impossible."
He raised his hand again and swore, "If I do anything to let the Zhai family down, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
Zhai Jiu smiled without comment.
No matter how he expressed his loyalty, Zhai Jiu didn't say a word along the way.
Until the car stopped in front of the office again.
Zhai Jiu said in a low voice: "Get out of the car,"
The man grabbed Zhai Jiu's wrist anxiously, "I have some say here now, I can help you, my father said that if I don't take care of you, he will treat me as if I have no son in this life, I..."
As he spoke, his eyes became red again.
Zhai Jiu looked at him helplessly, "Li Gouzi, why are you so fond of crying?"
He suppressed the urge to cry and said, "I'm not like this usually. I just miss home so much."
"Master Jiu, my father said that you treat him better than his own son. I really want to help you. If you ask me anything, I will do my best to get it done for you..."
As his father said in the letter: "Gouzi, although it is not easy to come back now, you will come home sooner or later, unless... you don't want this family anymore."
"The Zhai family has been very kind to our family. When your mother was seriously ill, it was the Zhai family who hired a doctor. For many years, your father has also eaten and drunk at the Zhai family's place. During the New Year and other festivals, it was Xiaojiu who gave me gifts to keep me company so that I wouldn't feel so lonely."
"This child is more reliable than you. Anyway, if you still recognize me as your father, Xiaojiu, nothing can happen to him. You have to protect him for me."
"To put it bluntly, even if you die, you must make sure he returns to the Zhai family alive. You owe him this, and our entire family owes it to the Zhai family,"
He looked at Zhai Jiu seriously, with a determined expression on his face, and said, "What's the matter?"
"Are you going to kill someone?"
Zhai Jiu suddenly lowered his head and chuckled twice, then spoke slowly: "Uncle Li once taught me shooting and fighting, so he is my teacher. In addition, he has been with my father for so long, so it is the right thing for the Zhai family to do these things. You really don't have to do this."
The man's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Zhai Jiu and asked, "What's the matter?"
"There's no one watching you right now, which proves that you're not here as Zhai Jiu. What are you doing here? I can really help you."
Zhai Jiu took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him. The man took it, hung it on his ear, took out a match and lit the cigarette for Zhai Jiu.
Zhai Jiu lowered his eyes and smiled, "Yes, there is something, but it's not that exaggerated. It's not murder, it's not arson."
"you say,"
"My name is Chen Jiu now. I have a mine in the south that needs to be developed. With your current identity, can you get in touch with people of that level?"
Zhai Jiu exhaled a puff of smoke and continued, "I need to find the right person to cooperate with to ensure smooth mining and protect my own safety."
The man thought for a moment and said, "Is the Chamber of Commerce okay?"
Zhai Jiu turned his head to look at him.
The man continued, "Master Jiu, even though the people in the Chamber of Commerce are scolded a lot here, as long as someone in the family is engaged in business, no one dares to offend the people in the Chamber of Commerce."
"Cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce. The people from the big families will not interfere in this business."
"Overt safety can be guaranteed, but privately..."
The man looked embarrassed and explained, "The underground forces are rampant here. If someone secretly trips us up, it will be difficult to deal with."
Zhai Jiu nodded and asked, "Who do you know in the Chamber of Commerce?"
The man smiled unnaturally and said, "I am currently working in the Chamber of Commerce. I am a humble director."
director?
Zhai Jiu looked at him in confusion, "How can you, who came from the mainland, hold such a high position?"
The man rubbed his hands and explained, "The director is just for show. He is the one who gets scolded. Others can make money without doing much. In my position, I do a lot of work and I am the first one to rush to the front when something happens, but I don't make much money."
"When there is any cooperation or when others are asked to pay, I am the one who takes the lead,"
Zhai Jiu understood.
"However," the man continued, "I am in a position where I can help you a lot if you do business here. I can get all the documents for you right away."
"There are also some business contacts that I can talk to,"
Zhai Jiu was silent for a moment, then asked, "If I cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce, how much bonus do I need to give?"
The man immediately said: "I can negotiate this. No matter how much you give, you can put the Chamber of Commerce sign on it, and no one else will dare to touch it."
"Then why don't the four major families in Hong Kong cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce?"
The man chuckled and said, "The four major families don't need to do that. They just need to pay some money to the Chamber of Commerce on time. After all, which of the four major families doesn't have relatives and connections who are officials or soldiers?"
