Chapter 197 Pennies from Heaven (1/2)
Compared to the feasting and revelry in Shanghai, Hangzhou, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers, was slightly quiet. But it was also a first-tier city in the country. It would not be easy to be successful in this city.
After experiencing those things in Shanghai, Qin Sheng's heart was no longer so eager to seek success. No matter what Uncle Zhuang asked him to do, he would start again one step at a time.
”What are you thinking about?” After learning about the new environment, Lin Su went up to Qin Sheng, took away the cigarette that only had been smoked by Qin Sheng a few times, and asked lightly. During Qin Sheng's recovery time, he seldom smoked or drank, mainly because Lin Su was strict, and now he had gotten used to it.
Qin Sheng was not mad. He laughed and said, ”I'm thinking, when will I have the strength to face your family, and marry you aboveboard? Not like a stray cat, being chased by others all the time.”
Lin Su laughed. ”I am yours anyway. What are you worried about? Don't think too much, come with me to the supermarket and buy something. We still need a lot of necessities. We can buy some food by the way. We can cook at home tonight.”
”Okay, I'll listen to what my wife tells me to do,” Qin Sheng said joking.
They had been busy for a long time, so they bought a lot of food and went to the furniture city to buy some decorations and so on. It was already six o'clock when they got back. Qin Sheng and Lin Su walked close together to the kitchen, and the couple started cooking with laughter.
In the evening, in the Qin family's courtyard, which was located in the Dongcheng District of Sijiu City, Zhuang Zhou and Qin Changan were sitting opposite each other. There were several dishes on the table and two bottles of Wuliangye, and they were accompanied by Gongsun.
”Lao Zhuang, I toast you for the first drink. You saved the life of my little son. I will remember this favor,” Qin Changan said with a glass of wine.
Zhuang Zhou was a bit shocked, and said quickly, ”Brother Qin, we have such a close relationship, there's no need to say these kind words. I owe too much to the Qin family, this is what I should do, not to mention that Qin Sheng suffered such a serious injury. It is my fault.”
Qin Changan waved his hand and filled his wine glass. “These are two different things. Now we just talk about this thing. This second glass of wine was for this half-year trouble. I asked you to accompany me to put on a show, but we have to keep on acting.”
”These are all trivial things. I didn't do anything,” Zhuang Zhou said with jitteriness. Qin Changan was much older than him, and he was a big boss who rode on a whirlwind. He toasted two glasses of wine to him, which made Zhuang Zhou feel uneasy.
After two glasses of wine, Qin Changan continued to say, ”I have already arranged everything in Hangzhou. Just let the kid follow Cao Da, and let him train the kid well. Tomorrow, you'll meet Cao Da first, and get familiar with each other. Don't expose the truth at that time.”
”Okay. Don't worry about that. I will meet boss Cao tomorrow,” Zhuang Zhou said with a low voice.
Qin Changan had troubled Zhuang Zhou for such a long time, and he was somewhat embarrassed, so he said, ”After finishing the things tomorrow, you don't have to worry about this kid anymore.”
Zhuang Zhou frowned. ”Qin Sheng now returned to Hangzhou, he will meet his former enemy. I am afraid that they will bother Qin Sheng again. Anyway, I am fine. I can stay in Hangzhou for more time.”
”Hahaha. A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. This kid is smart, he will not make the same mistake twice. What's more, I will go to Hangzhou often. If the Yan family and the Lin family act recklessly, then I will definitely let them remember the price.” Qin Changan squinted his eyes coldly. He did not mean to not get revenge, he just left the opportunity to Qin Sheng. Otherwise, what could motivate him?
Since Qin Changan had his arrangement, Zhuang Zhou would not say anything more. He nodded silently. ”Okay, I understand.”
It was very clear to Zhuang Zhou that Hangzhou was not a long-term place for Qin Sheng. As long as Qin Changan and Qin Sheng recognized each other, then Qin Sheng's stage was destined to be set in Sijiu City. That was because it was clear to this big family that they could only stand firmly in Sijiu City, they could build their career in other places. For those families outside Sijiu City, who didn't want to sharpen their heads and squeeze it?
In the morning, Xue Qingyan took Qin Sheng and Lin Su to West Lake Zhiweiguan to eat breakfast. There was a man accompanying her, who had been a good friend of Xue Qingyan for many years. The two were also friends of the same generation. Now this man was already a person who had real power in the city bureau. No one dared not to say how bright his future would be, but at least he would reach to the director level.
Xue Qingyan introduced Qin Sheng to him in order to let Qin Sheng have more protection in Hangzhou. If those bad guys saw that Qin Sheng stayed close by this man, then they would think about it when they tried to bother Qin Sheng.
After a few dishes of steamed dumplings and steamed buns, everyone had a bowl of wonton. Xue Qingyan also asked for a cat's ear. Every time she returned to Hangzhou, she would eat breakfast in Zhiweiguan on the second day. It was a habit for many years.
”I wondered why you asked me to have breakfast today. You have friends here today.” The man arrived late, and he smiled and spoke after sitting down. Then he looked at Qin Sheng and Lin Su, who were sitting next to Xue Qingyan. Qin Sheng was ordinary. But Lin Su made him feel amazed. But the man knew how to hide his emotions. He instantly returned to normal, and nodded to Qin Sheng and Lin Su with a smile.
The man had a square face and big eyes, with a taste of uprightness. He was not tall, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and leather shoes, just like the leaders on TV.
Zhiweiguan was an old, famous restaurant, whether it was Hangzhou cuisine or a snack and breakfast, it was famous in Hangzhou. Foreign tourists going to Hangzhou would certainly have a taste. So the customer flow volume was very large in the morning. These several people were sitting on the second floor. Xue Qingyan had already ordered all the dishes. What this man ate, she knew better than anyone else.
Xue Qingxi smiled and said, ”These aren't friends, they are all family members. This is my younger brother and younger sister. They just arrived in Hangzhou yesterday, so I took them here to try it out. And you live nearby, so I thought I have to make an appointment when I eat with you, director.”
”Oh, it's your younger brother and sister. Welcome to Hangzhou. My name is Fang Jianping. I grew up with Qingyan since we were children.” The man took the initiative to introduce himself. Any man in officialdom was naturally not afraid of strangers and could become familiar very quickly.
