The Era of Hard Work

After saying a few words, Zhou Rui patted the cigarette case in his pocket and suggested, "Lu Kun, go out and smoke one?"

Lu Kun opened the drawer, took the cigarette and lighter: "Let's go."

The two of them left the company, so they couldn't go to the toilet to smoke, so they went downstairs and found a shaded place in the square in front of the building.

Zhou Rui stopped Lu Kun from taking out his cigarettes, and took out the cigarettes he just got from the boss two days ago in his pocket, not without the idea of ​​showing off: "Try this from me, we can't easily see it here."

Lu Kun took the one handed over and carefully looked at it. There were traditional characters on it, which I didn't recognize, but he had basic common sense. He asked, "Zhou Rui, is this from Hong Kong Island, or is it crooked?"

Zhou Rui lit the lighter, lighted it for Lu Kun first, and said, "Bendy."

Lu Kun took a sip. In fact, he was used to smoking the big chicken general, and he was not very used to smoking the curved cigarette. But considering some things, he still said: "This smoke is good, rare."

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "It's good if you are used to smoking, but our President Bai is not used to smoking, and I think the general is good." Before Lu Kun could reply, he brought the topic to Lu Dong: "Your Lu always doesn't smoke. ?”

Lu Kun blew out a smoke ring: "Boss Lu doesn't smoke."

Zhou Rui asked, "Is it because Mr. Lu's girlfriend is strict?"

"It's okay." Lu Kun had received orders from Lu Dong, and he was vigilant: "I haven't seen Mr. Lu's girlfriend take care of it."

Zhou Rui seemed to be gossiping: "I have been to the university town a few times, and some people have heard about Mr. Lu and his girlfriend, saying that his girlfriend is also very good, and started a big company?"

You can ask about these situations after inquiring about them. Lu Kun said appropriately: "I opened some jewelry stores when I was still in school."

Zhou Rui laughed: "I guess you Mr. Lu played a big role."

Lu Kun did not deny this point. It is true that sister-in-law is capable of doing her current career, but without Brother Dong, it would not be so smooth.

Zhou Rui came to a conclusion that Lu Dong's girlfriend had a great influence on him.

This can be reported to Mr. Bai.

After smoking a cigarette and chatting for a while, Zhou Rui took out another cigarette and gave it to Lu Kun.

Lu Kun took out the lighter to light a cigarette for Zhou Rui, and said, "You can't buy this cigarette from us."

Zhou Rui nodded: "I can't buy it. Tobacco is a monopoly, let alone bent cigarettes. It's not easy for some cigarettes from other places to come in."

Lu Kun seemed to ask casually: "Your boss did it?"

Zhou Rui didn't care either: "It was given by someone else."

Lu Kun seemed to like this cigarette very much: "Well...Zhou Rui, do you have many in your hand?"

"What are you doing?" Zhou Rui was a little wary.

Lu Kun rubbed his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Can you sell me a box? I can take it back and buy foreign goods in the village."

Zhou Rui is from Quannan City. Knowing that Lu Kun is from the countryside, he was somewhat disdainful. He took out another unopened box and threw it to Lu Kun: "Take it, we have a relationship, don't say whether you can buy it or not." .”

"Hey, Brother Zhou is righteous." Lu Kun even changed his address: "Thank you Brother Zhou."

The two of them were smoking, chatting every sentence, and occasionally asking a few tentative questions.

After about ten minutes, Lu Kun saw that this person was vigilant, and he couldn't ask anything else. He glanced at his watch and said, "Brother Zhou, we have been down for a while, go back? Don't find him when the leader is looking for him." .”

Zhou Rui nodded: "Okay, let's go back."

The two took the elevator back to the eighth floor, chatted for a while in the reception room, and heard noises outside, but it was Lu Dong who sent Bai Sheng out.

Zhou Rui hurried out, met the leader, and left Lu's Catering Company together.

Going down the elevator, there was no one else inside, and said, "Mr. Bai, I tried Lu Dong's driver just now. Lu Dong attached great importance to his girlfriend, and even supported his girlfriend to open a company called Xinxin Trading. Quannan Ginza Store and In the RT-Mart store, those stores called Wenxin Warehouse are opened by Wenxin Trading."

"Good job." Bai Sheng nodded approvingly.

Today, the information about Lu Dong remained, but still no key breakthrough was made. Perhaps a breakthrough can be opened from Lu Dong's girlfriend?

Turn around and ask someone to find out what happened to the female college student named Song Na.

The car drove out of the university town, Bai Sheng thought about it for a while, and then said to the driver: "Xiao Zhou, go to Quan Printing and Dyeing Factory."

…………

Upstairs, Lu Kun followed Lu Dong into the office.

"Brother Dong, I just had a chat with that driver." After several years of experience, Lu Kun is better than Li Lin in certain things: "The driver is asking his sister-in-law both inside and outside."

Lu Dong frowned slightly: "Ask Song Na what to do?"

According to his investigation, excluding private fund-raising, Bai Sheng's net worth can be called innocent, not the kind of person who came from a reckless background, but came out of a bank with a high degree of education.

Lu Kun said: "He mainly asked if you have a good relationship with your sister-in-law. It sounds like asking how much influence your sister-in-law has on you."

Lu Dong roughly understood that it was impossible to get through from him, and he wanted to do Song Na's work and let Song Na blow the rhythm of the pillow?

Turn around and tell Song Na to let her pay attention to it, other things are not too big of a problem.

"Is there anything else?" Lu Dong asked.

Lu Kun was ready a long time ago, took out the box of Wanwan cigarettes, put it on Lu Dong's desk, and said, "I got this from the driver, from Wanwan cigarettes, saying that it was ours. You can't buy it at all."

Lu Dong picked up the cigarettes and looked through them. He had limited understanding of the cigarettes and couldn't see anything special about them.

"Listen to that driver." Lu Kun continued, "These cigarettes were given to Mr. Bai."

Holding the cigarette, Lu Dong inevitably thought about it.

Lu Kun thought for a while, and then said: "The driver is quite alert, so I don't want to ask too many questions."

Lu Dong nodded slightly: "You did a good job, go get busy."

"Okay." Lu Kun went out.

Lu Dong picked up the cigarette and put it in front of his eyes. The cigarette over there was given to Bai Sheng by someone else?

What do these indicate?

Lu Dong picked up the phone, dialed a number, and contacted a professional from the Qingzhao Tobacco Bureau through Dynasty, and asked about the situation of the pack of cigarettes.

According to professionals, this kind of cigarettes are not allowed to be sold in all formal channels in Taidong. It seems that they belong to high-end cigarettes in Wanwan. In hand, sometimes you can see it.

In other words, most of the cigarettes were given to Bai Sheng by Wanwan investors.

Is there a certain relationship between Bai Sheng and Wanwan investors?

It was inevitable that Lu Dong would think this way. With his character, this idea quickly diverged, and Bai Sheng asked him to invest and encourage him to list Lu's Catering with another matter.

Because there seems to be a crooked investor on both sides.

I remember that a few months ago, He Quanzhong contacted him several times and said that he wanted to invest.

Because it involved Weiqiao Group and Weiyong, he rejected them all.

There is also the new Deputy Director Duan from the Management Committee of the University City, who has talked to him several times and wants to let Lu's Catering accept He Quanzhong's investment.

Later, he rejected it and reached an agreement with Duan Minghe. Duan Minghe didn't mention this matter again, nor did he trouble Lu's catering.

This matter seems to be over now, and there is no news from He Quanzhong, and it has never appeared again?

Lu Dong tapped his finger on the table lightly, could Bai Sheng have anything to do with He Quanzhong? Direct investment is not going to work, how about a trick to repair the plank road and hide the old warehouse?

Especially the backdoor listing that Bai Sheng mentioned today, even if Lu Dong doesn't understand it, he knows that the risk is extremely high, and there will be various opportunities for people to take advantage of during the period.

No matter how modest Lu Dong is, he still can't deny the fact that Lu's Catering has become bigger, and the chain stores are located in the most prosperous business districts in various places. If you really want to observe carefully, you can't stop it. Say you keep a low profile behind the scenes, and everyone else will cooperate and pretend not to see it.

When private enterprises grow bigger, it is inevitable that they will attract people's attention.

Crooked investors, it can be said that they have never been disadvantaged in the Mainland these years, and they have definitely enjoyed super-national treatment. Not to mention private enterprises, how few large public enterprises have swallowed them?

Although there was no evidence to prove that He Quanzhong had a relationship with Bai Sheng, Lu Dong was still vigilant and cautious.

This kind of thing is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Under the current social environment, it is difficult to deal with bent people.

Thinking about this, Lu Dong made a few phone calls, always paying attention, especially when he called Wei Yong and asked Wei Yong what was going on with Wanwan people.

The Weiqiao Group has never dared to act rashly. Although Wei Yong always believed that what happened in Macau was caused by crooked people, but it happened in other places without any evidence, and it also involved the Quannan City Government, so he dared not act recklessly.

At the end of the phone call, Wei Yong specifically said: "Lu Dong, you have connections in Quannan, if you know what's going on with those bastards, you must tell me!"

Lu Dong could only say, "I always remember this."

…………

Quannan, south of Luokou Garment City, next to the front door of Gonggong New Village.

After eating at noon, Liu Hongmei was busy with the work in the laundry room. She took the washed and dried clothes back from the second floor, put them in the bags when they were delivered, and hung them on the wall, waiting for someone to come. Pick.

Feng Xin's legs have gotten better in the past two days, and he is looking at the special washing machine for washing clothes.

The location of the Healthy Laundromat is good, there are many permanent residents nearby, and the business is OK. The net income for a month is much better than two people going to work.

People came to pick up clothes one after another. Around one o'clock, two men with weird accents came in. Because they used to watch Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas a lot, Liu Hongmei could tell that this was the Mandarin accent of Wanwan.

Feng Xin, who was looking at the washing machine, also looked outside.

The two handed the list to Liu Hongmei. Liu Hongmei went to find some clothes and came over with a few bags, which contained work clothes and the logo of the printing and dyeing factory in the south.

When they came over, the two people were chatting casually.

Among them, the one holding the car keys seems to be the driver: "The guy surnamed Bai has come to look for Mr. He again, and it seems that things are not going well."

Another person wearing a suit jacket answered: "Lv Dong is young, but he is a figure with a lot of photos. Mr. He wants to swallow Lu's catering, it's not easy."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. Liu Hongmei can hear clearly.

Lu Dong? Lu's Catering? Isn't that Song Na's boyfriend?

After sending the two away, Liu Hongmei discussed with Feng Xin and called Song Na.

Song Na is very kind to the couple, so it's fine if they don't know, but now that they know that someone is plotting against Song Na's boyfriend, they can't pretend not to hear.
