Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 67 Lu Mengshi's Plan

At this time, Lu Mengshi was not in a hurry to respond to Wang Zixi, he thought to himself:

"Fujude's business is going from bad to worse, the old shopkeeper is weak, and his two sons are not good enough to make."

"It won't take long for Fujude to fall."

"But there are still three thousand nails on the broken ship, and Fujude's signboard still has some reputation."

"At the same time, Changgui, the chef in the store, and Luo Datou, the roast duck master, are all good at Qinxing."

"If Director Lin and I can take over Fujude and reopen it, it will be much easier than opening a new restaurant."

"Places, tables, chairs, benches, stoves, kitchens, pots and pans, and cooks are all ready-made!"

Ever since he met Lin Hongfei, Lu Mengshi no longer looked down on the solicitation of the old shopkeeper of Fujude.

After all, no matter how powerful the old shopkeeper is, he is just a business owner without any power.

But Lin Hongfei was different. With him as the boss behind the scenes, those hooligans who ate and drank, owed money and did not pay back would never happen.

Including the Department of Health, the tax office, the police station, etc. on the official front, they will naturally look at Lin Hongfei's face, and naturally they will not be too messy.

Cooperating with Lin Hongfei, being his shopkeeper is far better than being the shopkeeper of Old Tang's family!

Lu Mengshi is an extremely smart businessman, and he is very aware of the stakes.

"Meng Shi, Meng Shi, you should say something!" Seeing that Lu Mengshi was still silent, Wang Zixi couldn't help urging him.

Lu Mengshi chuckled, and pretended to evade, "Zixi, I'm really sorry. I've already promised a friend that I'll partner with him to open a restaurant. He'll be the owner, and I'll be the shopkeeper."

"Fujude, I don't think I can make it!"

When Wang Zixi heard this, he was surprised and said: "What, you already have a place to go, are you going to leave Habitat?"

Lu Mengshi nodded: "That's right, under Huabi's hands, I will never have a bright future."

Wang Zixi sighed regretfully: "Oh, if you fail to become Fujude, then Fujude will be even more hopeless!"

"What do you mean, the old shopkeeper is weak and can't do business anymore, but he still has two sons!" Lu Mengshi pretended to be stupid and said in a daze.

"Oh, Meng Shi, you don't know, those two young masters are not suitable for business at all!"

"The eldest young master spends money like running water in order to learn to sing in the opera garden all day long."

"Two days ago, there was still 200 oceans left on the counter, and I planned to pay back the sweet noodle sauce owed by the store."

"In the end, the young master snatched it away and bought a costume, claiming that it was worn by Xiao Lanxiang, a famous actress who sang Dan roles. Isn't this nonsense!"

"What about the second young master, I have met that young man, he is very energetic!" Lu Mengshi continued to pretend to be stupid, he was going to find out about Fujude's situation through Wang Zixi.

In this way, he was wondering how to take Fujude from the hands of the Tang family!

After all, Fujude was the painstaking effort of three generations of the Tang family, and the old shopkeeper would never sell the storefront to outsiders unless he had to.

"Not to mention the second young master, he hangs out with some dubious people all day long. Two days ago, he brought a few gangsters from the Four Seas Gang to the store to eat and drink for free."

"After drinking too much, he threw bowls and smashed tables and chairs, scaring away several tables of guests."

"No, it's been three or four days, and this second young master has been fooling around somewhere, and he's still gone." Said Wang Zixi, the sadness on his face grew stronger!

"Oh, that's right..." A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Mengshi's mouth.

Just as he was about to continue to inquire about something, a young man who looked like a buddy hurried into the teahouse, scanned the audience, and then came straight to Wang Zixi.

"Second cabinet, second cabinet, I'm looking for you!" The man said anxiously.

Wang Zixi took a look: "Hey, Fushun, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

The assistant Fushun said anxiously: "Something has happened, just got the letter, the second young master was arrested by the police station, and now he is in jail!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zixi jumped up from his chair:

"Why was the second young master arrested? What law did he commit?"

Fushun said: "The policeman Sun who delivered the letter said that the second young master got too close to the Four Seas Gang, and was arrested as a member of the Four Seas Gang!"

"Hey, I tried to persuade him back then, don't hang out with those dubious people, but he just doesn't listen!"

"It's all right now, how can I tell the old shopkeeper about such a big event!" Wang Zixi immediately burst into flames.

"Second cabinet, go back quickly, the store is in chaos now!" Fushun urged.

Wang Zixi didn't dare to stay longer, said goodbye to Lu Mengshi, and hurried out of the teahouse.

At this time, Lu Mengshi looked at the figure of Prince Xiyuan, and a smile flashed across his mouth. He had already figured out how to bring Fujude back.

Dongfuxing

Jiang Maowen had already sent a few men to inquire about the news of Shuncheng, and he was sitting on a rattan chair to enjoy the shade.

Although Jiang Maowen was quite anxious because the guys didn't return home for a long time, but fortunately, his fellow townsman, the money shopkeeper who runs a grocery store, came to play chess with him, which made the time less boring.

"Armor."

Shopkeeper Qian moved a pawn, fanned the fan, and said, "Maowen, you're not in the capital these days, but you missed a lot of important events."

"Oh, what's the big deal?" Jiang Maowen asked curiously.

"What's the big deal, does the Four Seas Gang know, and Wei Yuanliang, the third master Wei?" said Shopkeeper Qian.

"Nonsense, if I don't know this again, I'll be a fool!" Jiang Maowen said.

"Let me tell you, the Four Seas Gang is over, and the police have seized all the gang's properties!"

"Wei Yuanliang was also shot to death indiscriminately, and was directly paraded through the streets by a rickshaw!"

After Shopkeeper Qian finished speaking, Jiang Maowen was taken aback immediately, and he hurriedly asked, "No, Wei Yuanliang is the brother-in-law of Director Xu Wen, how could the police attack him?"

"You are all old calendars. Xu Wen has already been dismissed. Even the director and the deputy director have been replaced with newcomers!"

When Shopkeeper Qian said this, Jiang Maowen frowned slightly, and he faintly sensed something was wrong.

At this time, the treasurer Qian showed off a little: "Do you know the names of the new director and deputy director?"

"What's your name? Don't be foolish. Say it quickly!"

Jiang Maowen urged that the director and deputy director have been replaced, and they are all powerful figures. We must quickly know the identities of the other party so as not to offend them.

"Okay, I'll betray you!"

Shopkeeper Qian introduced: "The director is called You Feng. It is said that he was a soldier. He should be the confidant of some commander or general. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to climb to this position."

"Then there is the deputy director. This person is amazing. He was directly promoted from a street patrolman to deputy director."

"Everyone guesses that the background of this deputy director may be bigger than that of Director You Feng."

When Jiang Maowen heard it, his curiosity arose: "Then what is the name of the deputy director?"

"Oh, it's Lin Hongfei!" Shopkeeper Qian said a name that Jiang Maowen was very familiar with.

Jiang Maowen directly changed his face:

"what?"

"Lin Hongfei!"

In the next second, Jiang Maowen flew up and ran directly to the corner, looking for the name card that he had squeezed into a ball.
