At noon, the long table was full of crabs, and the three ate together.
Chen Zhi sat in the middle and warmed two pots of wine. When he was slightly drunk, he did not hide his appreciation in his eyes and said:
"It's a pity that you don't learn boxing. Follow me later."
Liu Chen took a mouthful of crab roe and said, "No, I refuse."
Before Chen Zhi could persuade him, he continued: "Wing Chun is a good fist, better than those in Tianjin. It's a pity that you are Nanfang Quan. You can only enter the slum here. Why don't you cooperate with me? You can teach me your real skills and I will help you become famous. “
Chen Zhi's biggest ambition was touched. He was a little surprised and blurted out: "Who are you? Dare to say that. “
"Everyone knows that Zheng Shanao is the number one in Jinmen Martial Arts, but only martial arts professionals know that Zou Rong, a woman who can't do any boxing, is the real leader“
Liu Chen did not answer Chen Zhi's question, but brought out a secret that Chen Zhi did not know.
"Another thing, there are now 19 martial arts schools in Tianjin, and it is difficult to open one more. If someone wants to open a school, the martial arts practitioners will tell you two ways. One is to hang up with Zheng Shanao, Zou Rong and others, and then hang up under their door and borrow their name; The other is the challenge. Find a person from Tianjin who knows his own martial arts and beat 8 clubs in a row. Then he will win, and the weakest of the 19 clubs will come down. Of course, no matter which method, there are no more or fewer of Tianjin's 19 martial arts schools. “
Chen Zhi nodded. He learned from Zheng Shanao that the same was true.
”Do you know why? “
Liu Chen didn't make a fuss. He took a drink and continued: "Because we are here. “
"Eight years ago, someone saw me struggling and proposed to find a master with real skills to teach me. Guess what was the price offered to the master at that time?"
"What?"
"Teach me the true story, and then you can open a martial arts school in Tianjin."
Liu Chen looked at Chen Zhi's surprise and smiled.
”Sometimes, it's so simple to open a martial arts school in Tianjin. “
Chen Zhi was still shocked by Liu Chen's words. To be honest, he still didn't believe it. But Liu Chen's strength clearly proves that he is no ordinary person.
"So, who are you?"
"I said, Liu Chen. Well, three days later, we will have a Shilin dinner and reserve a private room for you."
Having said that, the crabs are almost eaten. Drink all the wine in the cup and get up to say goodbye.
Opening the door, Liu Chen left.
Leave a mystery behind.
Zhao Guohui suddenly said quietly: "Qishilin is the best western restaurant in Tianjin. Every day, powerful people can enter and leave. If you want to reserve a venue, you can't just have money."
Chen Zhi was shocked, and only felt that the mystery of Liu Chen had increased a bit.
Three days later, in the early autumn night, the wind was getting cooler.
The lights of Kizillin are on.
The hall was transformed into a dance floor. In the middle, a group of white dancers were in the hot spot. The bright multicolored light makes their figures very graceful.
Two rows of waiters bowed at the door, more enthusiastic than usual.
"Welcome!"
Zhao Guohui, who was wearing a dress, was a little confused. If she had returned a few months ago, she would have greeted the guests like these waiters.
Now, she is holding Chen Zhi's arm and walking into the door of Shilin.
"Master Chen and Madam Zhao, good evening, welcome to both of you, please come in quickly." Before entering, a graceful woman in a body fitting cheongsam greeted us.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Su Jinzhen. Mr. Liu has arranged that I must treat you well tonight. Come and follow me. Mr. Liu is waiting for you in the box“
"Oh, good."
Time has not left a mark on Su Jinzhen, but has increased her understanding. Rao Shih chen has known many people in Nanyang for more than ten years. He was fascinated by Su Jinzhen's temperament.
Su Jinzhen is leading the way, while Chen Zhi is observing the whole banquet hall.
There are many martial artists who have sharp eyes, heavy and powerful steps, and are alert when talking and laughing.
There are also many foreigners, who are tall and well trained.
The two sides are clearly divided and collide with hostility when their eyes overlap.
On the second floor, there are a box. Su Jinzhen took it to the end, the innermost box.
"Master Chen, please“
Knock on the door and push the door into the Chinese reception hall.
Liu Chen stood up to meet Chen Zhi.
"Master Chen and Madam Zhao, you are here indeed. Welcome. Please sit down and watch the tea."
Su Jinzhen made a sound at the right time, took Zhao Guohui's hand and said, "Mr. Liu, Master Chen, can I borrow Mrs. Zhao first? I heard early that cooks from all over the world were invited to cook tonight, which made me hungry. I can't wipe my face off alone, and I want to ask Mrs. Zhao to accompany me."
"Ha ha ha, Miss Su, I didn't expect you to be thin skinned. I can't be the master. It depends on Master Chen."
Chen saw Zhao Guohui and nodded, "Go ahead."
"Thank you, Master Chen. Let's go down first. It's time to give you a try."
"Go ahead. Master Chen, leave them alone. Please come inside."
It has to be said that Su Jinzhen's words are exquisite enough. Not abrupt, but also left a private space for Liu Chen and Chen Zhi.
And Zhao Guohui, until now, has not yet shaken his mind.
After all, she was born in poverty. Even if she had been with a foreigner before, she had never been exposed to such a level. It was inevitable that she had some stage fright. When I met Su Jinzhen, who was so exquisite, I made a subconscious comparison, which was even worse.
His palms were sweaty, his subconscious grip was tight, and his mind was a little dizzy. He would just follow Su Jinzhen and shuttle around the banquet hall.
Watching Su Jinzhen let those white people serve him with ease and freehand, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.
In the box, two cups of warm tea.
"Master Chen, you must have thought it over when you came here today?"
"Well, I will teach you the true biography, and you will help me become famous."
Compared with Zheng Shanao, Liu Chen is more mysterious and clear.
He likes to make clear deals.
"Not bad."
"The premise is that you want me to see your heart."
"Tonight's banquet is designed for this purpose."
The two chatted while drinking and enjoyed each other very much. Chen has known Nanyang as a bodyguard for many years, and has seen many things in the Jianghu. Liu Chen knows the art of chatting very well, and has a kind of tacit understanding like crosstalk.
The guests continued to arrive, and the joyful sound downstairs became more noisy.
Su Jinzhen estimated that Liu Chen was almost talking, and led Zhao Guohui back to the box.
"Dong, Dong, Dong."
"Mr. Liu, the guests are almost here. It is estimated that Mr. Zhang will be here soon“
"Well, let's go down too. By the way, Master Chen, you just need to look at me like other martial artists in a moment to understand my intentions."
Go out and go downstairs. The banquet hall is bustling.
The dancers who helped the entertainment changed several times, and the guests took the dancers to the stage in person.
Chen Zhi was suddenly surprised when he saw a familiar little old man surrounded by a middle-aged man. It seemed that the middle-aged man was the leader.
He calmed down and confirmed the identity of the little old man, Zheng Shanao.
"Why is he here?"
"Not only he, but also the owners of the 19 martial arts schools in Tianjin, as well as the famous boxers, fighting masters and soldiers in the foreign concessions, one by one, are here."
Liu Chen pointed slightly: "See that talking and laughing, she is Zou Rong, the actual leader of Tianjin martial arts."
Chen Zhi looked in the direction of his fingers. She was a woman in a neutral dress. Her short hair and ability always gave her the illusion of gloom.
"Welcome."
Liu Chen turned to see Zhang Zhong getting off the bus.
"Master Chen, I won't bother Mrs. Zhao and you. You have a good meal and drink. I'll go there first."
”OK. “
He strode to the door and shook hands with Zhang Zhong cordially.
"Boss Zhang, I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's not easy to see you now."
"Where? If you want to see me, it's not a matter of words."
Strictly speaking, Liu Chen and Zhang Zhong have many contacts, but they haven't seen each other for several years. Over the years, he has been on the move. In addition to coping with the pressure on the market, he also has to find ways to solve the problem of the shortage of raw materials.
Hard work turned him from a gentleman to a greasy uncle.
Simply, what can't crush you will eventually make you stronger.
With years of operation, Liu Chen's technology and the strength of the Zhang family, he firmly holds the radio and radio in his hands. In the land of the Republic of China, the foreign radio and radio brands can only cover a small area of the concession. If you want to go further, you will be held down by Zhang Zhong's midline broadcast.
Today, he is not only defending the existing territory, but also trying to take the initiative to invade the world of foreigners.
"I won't say anything superfluous. It's the same as before. I'll leave it to you next."
"Don't worry, everything is in order."
The three walked into the banquet hall with their heads held high.
