Sihai Hall.

Guo Donglin can act like a gang leader in front of anyone, but he can't show off in front of Chen Huaixiu.

The position of gang leader was lent to him by the Shen family, but he hasn't sat firmly in it yet.

I had no choice but to answer patiently: "Of course the Xu family has their considerations. Their business is so big, and they spend a lot of money on freight every year. It is reasonable for them to want to have their own fleet."

"It's easy to build ships, but it's hard to train sailors. If the Xu family forms an alliance with us, we can not only save a lot of shipping costs, but also enter the shipping industry. In short, although we make a lot of money, they won't lose money either."

After Boss Guo finished speaking, he said with a half-smile, "Are you satisfied with this answer, sister-in-law?"

"Satisfied." Chen Huaixiu nodded.

"So your sister-in-law agrees?" Boss Guo was overjoyed.

But Chen Huaixiu was not led by the nose at all, and continued to speak calmly: "I agree. But for such a big matter, words are not enough. We have to draft a contract with the Xu family first, so that we won't be confused when the time comes."

"That makes sense. That makes sense."

"Yes, it has to be written in black and white to stand the test." Those hall masters who were reluctant to move out echoed this.

"So this is what my sister-in-law is worried about." Guo Donglin was so angry that his teeth itched, but he said nonchalantly, "As long as both parties decide to cooperate, they should sign a contract and share the profits."

"That's fine. I'll trouble the gang leader to come up with a set of rules with the Xu family first, and then we can discuss it." Chen Huaixiu slowly stood up and said, "As long as it doesn't violate the gang rules, I will definitely support it with all my strength."

"Okay." Guo Donglin felt annoyed, but there was no point in saying more, so he nodded and said, "I'll talk to them first."

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Huaixiu bowed and left the Sihai Hall first.

After Mrs. Shen left, Guo Donglin was in no mood to talk nonsense with those rough guys. He said a few polite words and then left.

~~

Guo Qilin followed his elder brother back to the inner house in the backyard.

As soon as they passed the Moon Gate, Guo Qilin couldn't help asking, "Brother, we have achieved our goal today. Why are you looking so angry?"

"Idiot!" Guo Donglin slapped him on the back of the head and cursed him fiercely, "That woman is here to mess things up today. Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"Ah? It's true that she raised a lot of questions, but didn't she agree in the end?" Guo Qilin stared, covering his head, with a face full of question marks.

"That's just a delaying tactic." Gang leader Guo said with a dark face, "Chongming is in a state of collapse today and collapse tomorrow. Even if she is extremely unwilling, she dare not say she won't move. Otherwise, I will accuse her of 'not caring about the lives of her gang members' and no one will listen to her anymore!"

As he said this, he spat fiercely and said, "Didn't you hear her last sentence? As long as it doesn't violate the gang rules, she will fully support it. As the head of the Punishment Hall, don't you understand what she means?"

"What she meant is..." Guo Qilin was not stupid either, and he suddenly realized, "Thirty-six gang rules, ten precepts, breaking any one of them is a crime?"

"Yeah." Gang Leader Guo nodded and sighed, "You know what the Xu family is going to do, so how could you sign such a contract?"

Before he finished speaking, someone in the garden said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense. Our Xu family is an honest family. We only make money with conscience."

"Manager Xu is here." Gang Leader Guo quickly stepped forward with an apologetic smile and said, "I was saying that the woman would deliberately pick a fight and make things difficult for us."

"So, the meeting won't go smoothly?" Manager Xu from the Xu family asked coldly.

"Everyone else has done it, but that woman is holding them back." Gang Leader Guo sighed and said, "Hey, if the person you arranged was successful last time, wouldn't we have avoided this trouble?"

"Who would have thought that I would run into a kid named Zhao?" Manager Xu said with a look of astonishment:

"Nine out of ten places where the gongs are ringing are him. It's really fucking weird, why did he come to Chongming again?"

After a series of battles this year, the Xu family has completely lost their temper due to Master Zhao's torture.

Because he had abused the Duke of Wei, the servants of the Xu family called him "Xu Ke" and wanted to avoid Kunshan and Xishan.

Manager Xu Liu had just received news that Zhao Hao had arrived in Chongming and had ruined the assassination he and Gang Leader Guo were planning on the way.

Manager Xu was so scared that he pissed himself, fearing that the young man would find him, that he immediately rushed back to Songjiang... If he failed to complete the task, he would at most be punished, but if he ran into "Tsui Hark", he would lose his life.

After all, his last name is also Xu.

"Who is this Mr. Zhao?" Guo Qilin looked curious, obviously he had never heard of Mr. Zhao's name.

Boss Guo was also confused.

This is not surprising, Zhao Hao has always been hiding behind the scenes. Apart from his partners, only a few people who have offended him know how powerful Tsui Hark is.

Xu Liu didn't intend to say more, but then he thought, don't let them be blind and implicate him, so he said in a low voice: "The boy's name is Zhao Hao, the son of Zhao Shouzheng, the magistrate of Kunshan County, and he is fifteen years old this year."

"Hey..." Guo Qilin breathed a sigh of relief. "So it's a young master."

"He is also the teacher of your Chongming County Magistrate, one of the founders of Jiangnan Company, the owner of Xishan Island, and the inventor of cement." Xu Liuda panted.

"Hiss..." The Guo brothers gasped.

Who knew the outrageous thing was still to come, and Xu Liu revealed his shortcomings: "My second master and the young master of Duke Wei's mansion were both defeated by him, and now they are obediently burning incense on Xishan Island."

"Ah?" The two were stunned. How could the lonely Xu family, who seemed invincible in their eyes, and the unattainable Duke of Wei's Mansion lose to a fifteen-year-old child?

But even if Xu Liu had the courage, he wouldn't dare to frame his own master like this, right?

"Then, the Xu family also has the Duke's Mansion, so they just ignore him?" Guo Donglin asked with difficulty.

"We don't know the details of how it happened, but we know that our elder's eldest son and grandson, as well as the Duke of Wei's eldest son and grandson, all became his disciples."

Xu Liu smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that the eldest son of Duke Wei even came to apologize and paid two hundred thousand taels in compensation. Do you think this counts as control?"

"That counts, that counts." Guo Donglin wiped his sweat and asked, "What is he here for?"

"It seems he came to see his apprentice." Xu Liu replied: "Today he took a few pretty girls to the riverside to watch birds. Maybe he was bored and came here to have fun."

In his opinion, this was the behavior that best suited Zhao Hao's identity as a young master.

"That's good. The county government is in Xisha and we are in Sansha, so we won't interfere with each other." Guo Donglin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, you better be careful and don't cause any trouble before he leaves. Do you hear me?" Xu Liuli shouted.

"Of course, of course." Guo Donglin rubbed his shiny forehead and nodded repeatedly. Even the Xu family didn't dare to provoke this person. Was he tired of living? He was still trying to get close to him.

"Also, help me inform Meichuan Yifu to restrain the people below and hide them well and don't show up." Xu Liu gave another order.

"Aren't you the one who contacts them personally?" Guo Donglin asked.

"I have to hurry back to Huating to report the news that the boy named Zhao has arrived in Chongming." Well, he was definitely not scared away.

"What about our business?" Guo Donglin was dumbfounded. Wouldn't this delay the important business?

"Let's talk about it when I come back." Xu Liu didn't want to stay any longer and went straight out of the garden.

"Fuck, he's so scared..." Looking at Xu Liu's panicked back, Guo Qilin was finally enlightened.

"Stop talking nonsense here." Guo Donglin was in a very bad mood. He turned and went into the house and said, "After dark, go to Bailusha. Be careful not to be seen by anyone."

"Don't worry, big brother. No one can see anyone in the dark." Guo Qilin said with a nonchalant smile.
