Chapter 45 Midnight Rumba (Part 4) (7k)

Judging from Zhang Chunmin's condition, Xia An could guess that there seemed to be more disgusting things behind Tang Tianxing that he didn't know about.

But even if Zhang Chunmin was really scared and wanted to withdraw, Xia An would do his best to persuade him not to resign.

Otherwise all efforts and plans will be in vain.

He estimated that it would take at least three to five years for him to build up his strength step by step to the point where he could swallow up the Tang Group.

What a waste of youth.

Previously, the use of Zhang Chunmin's family structure to bully others played a big role.

A good beginning should not be wasted.

It is obvious that Zhang Chunmin has already formed a preconceived notion and automatically imagines that with the change of power approaching, someone is going to take a bite of the fat piece of meat of the Tang family.

Xia An thought this was a good idea and let him continue to imagine it.

The next sentence is the same, it’s human nature.

Xia An calmly made tea for Zhang Chunmin and told her with a smile about her trip to Binhai to see Tang Wan a few days ago.

"I'm concentrating on studying mathematics now. I'm quite relaxed. As a woman, it's good to be relaxed."

He shook his wrist and said, "Here, she gave it to me."

There is no point in Xia An showing off this thing. He is saying: Look, we are very close, you and I.

Zhang Chunmin gave a wry smile.

I haven't slept well for a few days.

There is no way, side, front, five meals of wine, six girls.

Zhang Chunmin and Tang Tianxing's driver's cousin dug deep and found out about three murder cases.

Who can sleep?

After taking a sip of tea, Zhang Chunmin nodded and said, "Xiao Wan is a good child, but she has a hard life. Just treat her well."

Zhang Chunmin said: She and I are not relatives, but we are like family.

Xia An first glanced out the window with a melancholy look, pretending to be mature and deep like a young man.

He turned back to Zhang Chunmin and said, "Tell me what you know first. But I can give you a guarantee. If we withdraw, you won't be implicated. If we stay, neither will you. Perhaps there's a great fortune waiting for you."

What I mean is, if you stay, you can also get a seat at the table after you’re done.

After being laid off from the factory, Zhang Chunmin followed Tang Tiande around, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the first general manager of the entire group.

Ten years after Tang Tiande's death, he still worked as an old minister in the cold palace.

If he wanted to leave, he would have left long ago.

At this age, I have two children to raise.

Now that Tang Tianxing has thrown the task on his head, it is not as easy as saying "I quit" to leave, at least he will be skinned alive.

The temptation of money and the crisis are hanging over Zhang Chunmin's head, and Xia An wants to take advantage of these two.

Zhang Chunmin took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked half of it without saying a word.

Xia An was not in a hurry and continued to make tea.

Zhang Chunmin began to tell the story while smoking his second cigarette.

Xia An had memories of two of the murders.

Yang County growers are one, and logistics drivers are another.

This was the first time he heard of another person being poured into cement during the forced demolition of Jin Tang Real Estate.

But real estate is not in Xia An’s first plan, so ignore it for now.

Zhang Chunmin said this and glanced at Xia An cautiously:
"Your family already knew about this, right?"

Xia An pursed her lips and said, "This isn't uncommon in any city."

Zhang Chunmin sighed and continued speaking.

This time I'm getting off track.

It even brought up the topic of the car accident ten years ago, which Xia An had asked Tang Wan about but the latter was reluctant to talk about.

Zhang Chunmin and many veteran employees had actually speculated years ago that the car accident that killed Tang Tiande and his family of three was caused by his younger brother Tang Tianxing, but they were troubled by a lack of evidence.

At that time, some honest employees kept talking about this in private, and later they were all cleared out one by one by Tang Tianxing.

Gradually, there was no more news.

Zhang Chunmin said that when the textile factory was first changed to Shengtang Trading, the equity structure was 80:20 between Tang Tiande and his wife.

After Tang Wan grew up, Tang Tiande gave his daughter five points as a dowry.

At the same time, he officially transferred the other 20% that he had always held in his hands to his second brother, a gangster who was no match for him, so that he could only enjoy the dividends without participating in business management.

"This happened in 1994. During the Spring Festival of 1995, Tang Tianxing was arrested for leading a group to fight."

This person has a criminal record, and Xia An also has a vague impression of him.

Tang Tianxing has been uneducated since childhood. To call him a land thug is a nice thing to say, but in fact he is a bastard at heart.

At that time, Tang Tianxing slept with the woman of one of his gang members.

The henchman took counter-measures and put Tang Tianxing in a sack.

The next day, Tang Tianxing beat the brother into a vegetative state. He died six months later, leading to a lawsuit.

As a last resort, Tang Tiande had to do a great favor and step forward to resolve the problem.

Later, he slapped his brother in public and told him to either go abroad or become a monk.

Surprisingly, Tang Tianxing became well-behaved after that.

Until the car accident a year later.

That’s all Xia An knew.

Zhang Chunmin completed the follow-up for him.

Tang Tiande and his brothers have no relatives above them, while Tang Wan has two cousins, Tang Guan and Tang Mian, who are of the same generation.

Theoretically, Tang Tiande's first direct heir is his daughter Tang Wan, and the next is his younger brother Tang Tianxing.

The newly established group company should be taken over by Tang Wan.

But Tang Wan was less than 15 years old at the time and still needed to be raised by a legal guardian.

Everyone thought of this.

Before the seventh day of Tang Tiande and his wife's death, Tang Wan's mother came forward to help her gain benefits.

My uncle came and was beaten away.

My aunt came and was beaten away.

One is disabled and the other is deaf.

Tang Tianxing used a simple and effective method to easily make his sister-in-law's family no longer recognize Tang Wan as a junior.

After saying this, Zhang Chunmin drank three bowls of tea in a row.

He lowered his eyes and said that he was unable to protect little Tang Wan at the time.

"She's very smart and has thought everything through. After the Spring Festival, she voluntarily gave up her inheritance rights."

After Zhang Chunmin finished speaking, he silently lit a cigarette.

Xia An drank ice water without saying anything.

"After the funeral, Xiao Wan pulled my sleeve and asked me, 'Uncle Zhang, do I have no family anymore?'"

Zhang Chunmin exhaled the cigarette, looked at Xia An and said:
“She said this with a smile.

"That year's Spring Festival, she spent it alone in the house.

“My wife and I wanted to secretly deliver dumplings to her, but there were bodyguards watching outside.

"She felt like she was locked in a big empty cage.

“My wife was crying at that time.

"When I got home, I called Xiaowan. It was almost time for the New Year's Eve celebration and firecrackers were popping outside.

"Xiao Wan even tried to persuade me, saying that the house was very lively and that my brothers, my uncle and my aunt were all there.

"Watching the Spring Festival Gala and the firecrackers...

"How could that be? That house was... was..."

Zhang Chunmin glanced at Xia An again, but did not see any hostility on Xia An's face.

Xia An kept smiling faintly, as if he was not listening to his girlfriend's past. He nudged his chin, held the straw in his mouth, and motioned Zhang Chunmin to continue.

Zhang Chunmin said: "At that time, Tang Tianxing tortured his own niece.

“The TV was moved away, the decor was taken out, there were no toys, just a small bed on the third floor.

“That night, I clearly saw a light on in the small window on the third floor.

"I thought she must have been leaning against the window watching the firecrackers all night.

“On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, she gave up her inheritance rights, and only after Tang Tianxing took over the company did she return to her normal life.

"That day, Xiao Wan called me and said with a smile, 'Uncle Zhang, I'm free now. I want to go to your house to eat dumplings.'

"In ten years, I haven't seen Xiaowan cry once.

"She's a girl who can keep things to herself, but she has a miserable life."

After listening to it, Xia An just said "Oh".

Zhang Chunmin couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Either this person is too cunning, or he doesn't treat Tang Wan sincerely.

Maybe he was just taking advantage of the opportunity to get close to Tang Wan to deal with Tang Tianxing?

But it doesn’t matter anymore. I may not be able to get off the boat now.

Zhang Chunmin said helplessly: "She is a good girl."

Xia An nodded: "I know."

Zhang Chunmin lit up her fourth cigarette. "Xiao Xia, she's older than you, but you have a better family background and are more mature. You have to treat her well. This is my request."

Xia An was amused. "What else?"

Zhang Chunmin was stunned.

Otherwise? Or I'll beat you?

Xia An shook his head and said, "Don't get me wrong, I mean, why else would I be sitting here?"

He put down the cup, stretched himself, and said seriously, "School is about to start in twenty days. I'm going to use this summer vacation to learn how to do business. If it weren't for Tang Wan, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to deal with Tang Tianxing."

This was the first time Xia An made a formal statement to Zhang Chunmin.

But, what?
"How to do it?" Zhang Chunmin asked subconsciously.

"Maybe he'll die."

Xia An said, "After all, everyone will die."

Seeing his harmless smile, Zhang Chunmin stopped talking.

Xia An waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business."

Ten minutes, just ten minutes, Xia An clearly explained the work he wanted Zhang Chunmin to do.

It was very simple, very simple, so simple that Zhang Chunmin could just find a few people to do it. "And then?"

"Then wait for my news."

Zhang Chunmin didn't ask any more questions, but thought about it carefully in his mind.

Logistics, supply chain, small fresh food supermarkets...

Zhang Chunmin, who has been immersed in the business world for 20 years, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his face full of disbelief.

"You want to cut off the source of the trouble? How did you come up with such a simple..."

"Trading is just buying and selling, it's not complicated at all."

Zhang Chunmin looked at Xia An deeply, and finally nodded slowly, completely convinced.

Xia An raised his wrist to look at his watch, and Zhang Chunmin knew that he could leave.

But after taking two steps, he seemed to remember something and came back to say, "I heard that the second boy Tang Mian's family is not doing well recently. Is this your handiwork?"

This question stumped Xia An.

Tang Mian?

Xia An remembered that Tang Mian was the only clean and respectable person in the Tang family.

In the original world, only Tang Mian, Shen Wei, and Tang Xiaobao, a family of three, survived.

What happened to them?

I was confused, but I had to seize the opportunity to show off.

Xia An blinked: "There is nothing new under the sun."

Zhang Chunmin took a deep breath, frowned and nodded, then walked away in a leisurely manner.

Xia An smiled.

To be honest, he kind of likes this Uncle Zhang who is not smooth enough, not smart enough, but just very old.

……

Later, Xia An discovered that Zhang Chunmin was very efficient.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Chunmin called and said that the manpower was ready.

Xia An asked him to meet at the cafe again.

This time he came with his schoolbag, but had no intention of carrying it back.

It contained the 15 yuan that he had just withdrawn from Zhou Yitong through the VIP channel.

This was the initial capital arranged by Zhang Chunmin.

Xia An said: "I trust you, you trust me, the money is mine.

"This 150,000 is the first payment. I require you to find 12 stores within 10 days.

"Remember, right now I just want the brand. Tell the people in charge about the supply chain and distribution. Don't even mention it to them. It's best not to mention it to your subordinates either."

After the official cooperation, Xia An’s momentum suddenly increased.

Zhang Chunmin instantly felt that the person in front of him was not a 19-year-old boy, but a young tiger with a mouth full of blood.

Although he nodded, he was a little confused: "How can the trademark be registered so quickly?"

Xia An smiled and said, "I can."

Most older people don’t know that trademarks can be registered online.

Xia An applied for the supermarket trademark online as early as the beginning of the plan.

It was already dark after the conversation, so Zhang Chunmin offered to drive Xia An home.

"When I got here, my wife was calling Xiao Wan. I chatted with her for a while, and she told me that since you live far away, if it's late, she must let me take you home."

Xia An was stunned.

Comrade Xiaowan is very smart and will not let it go for no reason.

It didn't take Xia An long time to understand Tang Wan's intention.

——Good job, my wife.
When Zhang Chunmin parked the Crown at the gate of a high-ranking official holiday villa in the suburbs, he instantly understood his niece's intention.

——This is reminding me that this boy is reliable and trustworthy.

After watching Xia An walk to the gate with his hands in his pockets, and chatting with the guard with a smile for a few words before entering the compound, Zhang Chunmin drove back.

After using the toilet, Xia An stood on the roadside waiting for a taxi for forty minutes.

……

The next day, August 8rd in the afternoon.

Zhang Chunmin called Xia An again.

This time his words were very precise. He said to Xia An: Let's have a formal talk.

Officially, this word made Xia An realize that this old guy had some ulterior motives before.

After much investigation and repeated consideration, you finally decided to join in this great undertaking?

Xia An changed into a white shirt and casual pants again, and even put on the pair of Pierre Cardin shoes that Xia Kangning had just bought.

At half past four, Xia An took a taxi and waited opposite the gate of the retirement home.

Zhang Chunmin's car arrived fifteen minutes later.

In the car, Zhang Chunmin told Xia An mysteriously:
"Uncle Zhang will open up to you tonight, and we won't tell Xiaowan."

Oh?
Is there another little secret of Tang Wan you want to hear?
"Okay." Xia An smiled faintly.

But when the car stopped in the courtyard of "Rose House", Xia An's face was full of black lines.

Looking at Zhang Chunmin, he frowned deeply.

No way? No way, Uncle Zhang?

Does having a formal chat mean going to a nightclub to have fun?

Seeing Xia An frown, Zhang Chunmin locked the car and walked over, smiling, "Why? Uncle knows that the provincial capital is the best, although it's not here, but Wanshui Haoting is under Tang Tianxing's name, so he's not sure. This place is better, it's quiet here."

Quite attentive!

Xia An was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

But if you change your mind, you will understand.

In his previous life, he had already left the level of nightclub business and went to yacht parties.

But the custom of local officials and businessmen liking this has continued for thousands of years and cannot be changed.

He knew very well that Zhang Chunmin really intended to surrender, so he had to drink this wine.

Then he curled his lips and said, "The guest should follow the host's wishes."

As I went up the stairs, two handsome young men in vests and bow ties immediately bent down to greet me and opened the door to let me in.

Inside, two rows of girls in high-slit cheongsams all had bright smiles.

Zhang Chunmin was a regular customer, and the uniformed lobby manager took the initiative to lead the two upstairs.

"Mr. Zhang, this is it?"

Xia An didn't even look at her. Zhang Chunmin pointed to her mouth, indicating that she shouldn't ask.

Enter the house and change two batches.

Zhang Chunmin ordered two.

Seeing that Xia An was a little embarrassed, he promised again that he would never tell Tang Wan.

Xia An thought: Am I afraid that Tang Wan will find out? I can't choose!

Acting aloof in this room is insulting to both others and yourself, so in the end he just asked a big and strong girl who looked like she came from the countryside to make money to sit next to him.

Xia An whispered, "Just pour the wine and sing."

Xiaolan, whose stockings were about to burst, said, "Okay."

Xia An told Zhang Chunmin that he didn't want to drink the beer here, and he wanted foreign beer instead, not even the red one.

There is only one goal: to get him drunk as quickly as possible and go home.

Zhang Chunmin was touching the girl's thigh while singing.

After stopping, Xia An immediately brought the wine.

The hostess have received training and are all polite, but they are still unwilling to accompany greasy men.

The two people around Zhang Chunmin envied Xiaolan very much.

Xiaolan was also very happy. She felt so lucky. Although she was rarely called upon, whenever she sat down, the men around her were all gentlemen.

This one is even worse today.

She saw Xia An drinking heavily, and her experience in the entertainment industry told her that the boy wanted to get the uncle drunk.

Every time he poured wine for Xia An, he would add ice so that she would drink less.

Xiaolan helped Xia An a lot, and Zhang Chunmin exploded before nine o'clock.

The elderly are still not used to mixing foreign liquor with ice in drinks.

As the backlash came, Zhang Chunmin lost consciousness.

The two girls wanted to help Zhang Chunmin leave, but Xia An said she would just send him off.

The manager told him that Zhang Chunmin had instructed in advance that she would stay in the hotel tonight and would not go home.

"The account has been debited. Please do as you please, sir."

Xia An was very upset.

He gave Xiaolan a tip of three hundred yuan, went to the bathroom to wash his face and left.

When he reached the elevator, Xia An was suddenly stunned and retreated back to the first private room along the corridor.

I looked inside through the glass.

Looked again.

Under the flashing colorful light balls, Lin Jiajia held a microphone in one hand and a beer bottle in the other, drinking and singing by herself.

A sweet singing voice came out, slightly out of tune.

Xia An knew that Lin Jiajia would not sing out of tune unless she drank too much.

...

Out of ten men, seven are stupid, eight are bad, and nine are dull.

There is another one that everyone loves
Sisters

...

The female manager who was getting off the elevator saw Xia An bending over and peeping, so she came over to ask.

Xia An smiled and said, "I know this guy inside. Does he work for you?"

The female manager was surprised for a moment and then burst out laughing.

"Sir, you're joking. This lady came with Wei... with some hospital leaders. The other guests have left, and she said she wanted to sing for a while. What do you think..."

Xia An thought for a moment and said to the female manager, "I understand. I'll go in for a while."
