Chapter 1091 Dragon Veins
The two restaurants, "Begonia" and "Xilehui", are well-known restaurants on Huanghe Road and even in the whole of Shanghai. Naturally, it is known that the ingredients used in these two restaurants are of the highest quality.

However, today's method of using three helicopters for delivery and public announcement has never been seen before in Huanghe Road or even in the entire Shanghai Bund. Naturally, the next step will be to once again attract many guests to "Begonia" and "Happy Club".

Betty and Pan Ling, who had solved the problem, naturally entertained the guests with smiles on their faces. As for the responsible mentality of the losers, they didn't care. After all, the winners only thought about their own feelings and gains.

Of course, the ten boss ladies headed by Lu Meiling were completely dumbfounded at this time. Many people once again felt afraid of the richest man in Shanghai. Perhaps their fear of Suning had never disappeared, but they chose to hide it unwillingly.

Just then, a gangster ran towards Lu Meiling in panic, "Sister! Sister! Something terrible has happened."

Lu Meiling, who was in a bad mood at the moment, immediately found an outlet to vent her frustration. "What are you yelling about? Are you crying out in grief?"

The little thug's face was filled with fear, and his tone froze for a moment. Then he gave a bitter explanation, "Huh? Sister, something happened to our boss."

As expected, Du Honggen's matter attracted Lu Meiling's attention. The other proprietresses also looked at the gangster in surprise, "What? What happened to Du Honggen?"

"Sister, everyone from the transportation company was arrested by the city's Criminal Investigation Division. I only managed to escape today because I called in sick for something. I heard from others that the boss was suspected of drug possession and transportation."

"What?" At this time, Lu Meiling and the other proprietresses widened their eyes in shock.

Next, Lu Meiling naturally had no intention of continuing to watch the show. Besides, the outcome of the show had already made her very depressed, so she naturally left the group of proprietresses and left Huanghe Road.

Almost everyone on Huanghe Road knew the relationship between Lu Meiling and Du Honggen. Even Boss Jin, the nominal boss of "Jin Meilin", knew it clearly. So everyone knew that Lu Meiling must have gone to the Municipal Bureau to inquire about the news.

Huang Teng's wife said to the other wife next to her with a look of fuss, "Oh my! I think Du Honggen is finished this time. He's so bold as to hide and transport drugs."

However, the proprietress of Ri Ri Xian suddenly understood and felt a little annoyed at having messed around with Lu Meiling. "Hmph! What does Du Honggen's life or death have to do with us? We should hurry back to greet the customers. If we go back too late, the customers may all be snatched up by Qiu Hai Tang and Xi Le Hui."

"Yes! Yes! Let's go back to our own shops and greet our customers."

"..."

As the big sister Lu Meiling left Huanghe Road in panic, the other boss ladies also left in disinterest. In fact, it was mainly because the popularity of "Begonia" and "Xilehui" made them feel uncomfortable.

These trouble-making boss ladies love to bully others, but they put the cart before the horse and forget the purpose of running a restaurant. None of them focuses on improving the service and food quality.

Because the reception capacity of "Begonia" and "Xilehui" is limited, it is naturally impossible to entertain all the customers who come to consume. Of course, this is also the real reason why Huanghe Road has become a food street.

As long as they are willing to learn from the "Honglu Restaurant" and run the restaurant quietly, their business will definitely be the best among the restaurants on Zhapu Road. Unfortunately, none of the ten proprietresses understand this problem.

Director He of Xinyi Pharmaceuticals had naturally heard about Suning's generosity, and he looked at Suning with admiration and gave him a thumbs up, "Haha, Brother Su, you guys are really generous today!"

Suning smiled noncommittally and explained to Director He, "There's nothing we can do! Many people just like to stir up trouble, and if we don't show off our own coolness, there's no way to make them behave."

Director He had naturally heard about the recent events on Yellow River Road, but he was surprised that Suning hadn't taken it seriously. "I heard about it too! How about I use my connections to find out who's behind this?"

"No need! I've already found out it's Du Honggen, the transport guy from Huangpu, but I heard the guy behind this has been arrested by the police."

Director He was surprised and looked at Su Ning. "Oh? Brother Su, you arranged it."

"Of course not! But I heard that this guy seems to be involved in drugs."

"So he's such a vicious villain. No wonder he has the guts to come and stroke your tiger whiskers."

"Haha, Director He, you're too serious. I'm not a tiger, and I don't want a Wu Song who can slay a tiger to appear one day."

"Brother Su, your career has already reached this point. You don't need to worry too much about those petty schemes. If you have any problems that you can't solve in the future, just come to me."

"Thank you, Director He. The domestic market has been opening up more and more steadily recently. The Su Group will focus on the mainland market going forward. It's best not to get involved in some troubles if you can avoid them."

"Yeah! That makes sense! But Brother Su, I heard you have a new energy vehicle project in Chuansha. I just wonder if your Su Group really has such cutting-edge technology?"

"Of course! We at Suning are not the kind of scammers who cheat on loans and policies. And I can tell you a secret in advance. Our Ningyuan new energy vehicle experimental prototype will be produced soon."

"Ah? How come it's so fast?"

"Not fast anymore! We have no shortage of technology or funds. The only thing we lack is policies and markets."

At this time, Director He's mentality naturally felt different. You know, new energy technology has always been cutting-edge technology. He really didn't expect Suning and Su Group to be so powerful.

Back in 1987, Suning went to their Xinyi Pharmaceutical Factory to purchase Delin Apartments. In fact, their Xinyi Pharmaceutical Factory knew that Suning wanted to take advantage of the situation, but they did not expect that only three years had passed and Suning and Su Group had grown to this point.

"Brother Su, I recently heard that a group of Japanese businessmen are secretly inquiring about you and the Su Group. I suggest that you should be mentally prepared."

"What? Japanese businessmen? I've never had any contact with Japanese businessmen?"

"I'm not too clear about the specific situation, but I can still sense that they are here with ill intentions."

"Interesting! I didn't expect things to become more and more interesting."

……

Du Honggen's fate was doomed from the beginning. Soon Du Honggen was sentenced to death for the crimes of drug possession and transportation, and Lu Meiling, who lost her support, no longer had the capital to act recklessly.

In the original drama of "Fanhua", Lu Meiling lost Boss Jin and "Jin Meilin" one after another, and then left the prosperous Huanghe Road alone, but was eventually picked up by Du Honggen.

However, because Du Honggen in this new world is about to be executed by firing squad, Lu Meiling's only support is naturally the gigolo Boss Jin, so she is naturally even more timid in treating Boss Jin than in the original drama.

But Boss Jin was a good-for-nothing who was addicted to gambling. He didn't care at all whether Du Honggen was shot or not, and he had no interest in protecting Lu Meiling from the wind and rain.

Lu Meiling looked at Boss Jin with a pitiful look, pleadingly, "Husband, Hong Gen is about to be executed. I want to visit him in prison."

Boss Jin naturally wouldn't get jealous over a dead man, so he generously agreed to Lu Meiling's idea, "Huh? Go ahead! After all, he's still your brother."

However, Lu Meiling wanted Boss Jin to go with her. "Husband, then won't you go with me?"

"I won't go! My friend recently helped me get in touch with a good project, and I don't want to miss this opportunity."

"Hmph! Don't think I don't know. Have you made an appointment with someone to go to Macau to gamble again?"

"No! Meiling, stop imagining this."

"Hubby, you should come to the prison with me. We may never see Honggen again." "This..."

"Hubby, please! Hasn't Honggen always taken good care of you?"

"Hey! Okay! I'll accompany you to see Honggen off first. I really don't understand when Du Honggen became so bold."

"..."

In fact, Lu Meiling herself found it a little difficult to understand, because in her impression, Du Honggen could not be so crazy, but the irrefutable evidence of catching the criminal red-handed made Du Honggen's explanation meaningless.

Naturally, there were some things that Du Honggen and Lu Meiling couldn't understand. After all, they didn't realize that they were just chickens used to scare monkeys, so they didn't know that this was all Suning's work.

Du Honggen, who was sitting on the other side of the wall, no longer had the demeanor of a gangster boss. All that was left was endless regret and loneliness. "Meiling, Xiao Jinzi, you guys are here?"

Lu Meiling looked at the man inside the glass wall with distress, "Honggen, you've suffered!"

"Oh! My life is over. I don't know which bastard framed me."

"Honggen, is it really not you who did this?"

"Of course not! If I had this ability, I wouldn't be in this situation now."

"Then you should explain it clearly to the police?"

"It's no use! We caught him red-handed! And my fingerprints were even found on the drug package. No matter how I explain, it's pointless."

"Honggen, I'll hire a lawyer for you! We can't just accept our fate like this."

"It's no use! These five kilograms are too much. Without me to support you, you'd better keep a low profile on the Yellow River Road."

At this time, Lu Meiling was naturally moved and burst into tears, "Wow... Honggen, you are about to be shot, and you are still thinking about us?"

"Meiling, I failed you back then. If there's an afterlife, I will definitely repay you."

"Red Root..."

At this moment, Du Honggen suddenly turned to look at Boss Jin and said, "Little Jin, I know you've always hated me, but Meiling and I are really in the past. I also hope you can quit gambling in the future. After all, Meiling's life has been really difficult."

"Huh? Honggen, just go without worry! Meiling and I will be fine."

It is impossible for a guy who is addicted to gambling to quit gambling. Even if all ten of Boss Jin's fingers are chopped off, Boss Jin will still not really give up the mentality of gambling.

Of course, Du Honggen was also well aware of Boss Jin's bad behavior. When he turned around and looked at Lu Meiling beside him, he could now foresee Lu Meiling's tragic ending.

……

Although Suning dealt with Du Honggen and Lu Meiling with lightning speed, it did not continue to take action to clean up other restaurants. After all, it still knew the principle of knowing when to stop.

Although the disturbances on the Yellow River Road were settled, Suning knew that the dark hand hiding behind Du Honggen would not give up, and Suning soon found out the source of all the conflicts.

Back in May and June, with the official announcement of the Pudong development, many international financial groups set their sights on the Pudong area.

It was against this backdrop that a very strange combination suddenly appeared in Lujiazui, Pudong one day: a pot-bellied, three-inch-nailed tycoon with a beautiful female assistant, and standing in front of him was a Japanese Taoist priest wearing a chrysanthemum-patterned garment.

The Japanese Taoist priest gestured with the compass for a long time before suddenly looking at the wealthy man with surprise and saying, "Mr. Moriki, we have found the dragon vein of Shanghai."

Sure enough, the Japanese Taoist priest's words surprised the Japanese businessman, "Oh? Where is it?"

“It’s in Lujiazui, Pudong.”

"Great! Please, Yoshino-kun, mark the exact location of the dragon vein so I can contact the authorities and acquire this land as soon as possible."

"This……"

The Japanese businessman's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad guess. Then he looked at the Japanese Taoist priest anxiously and asked, "Yoshino-kun, are you in trouble?"

"Hey! Mr. Moriki, this dragon vein location has been occupied, and it seems like they're going to build a high-rise building there."

"What? Yoshino-kun, you mean the dragon vein is the building under construction in front of us."

"Hi!"

The Japanese businessman turned to look at the female assistant beside him, "Meiko."

The female assistant quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the Japanese businessman, "Hi! Mr. Moriki, please give me your orders."

"I want to know all the information about this building under construction tonight."

"Hi."

Soon, the female assistant of Japanese businessman Moriki found out everything. After all, Suning and Su Group were well-known in Shanghai. However, when Moriki saw the huge asset information of Su Group, he was stunned with surprise.

"What? You're just as interested in investing in overseas businesses as our Japanese consortium?"

"Mr. Moriki, our Japanese consortium was forced to shift its investment focus to overseas markets due to the domestic economic downturn. However, it seems that Suning Group has been more focused on overseas markets from the beginning."

"Sweep Daisinai! I suddenly have some impression of this Suning. Back then, it was his Su Group that got a batch of low-priced equipment, and ended up forcing us Japanese knitting equipment manufacturers to think of many ways. I didn't expect that Suning and the Su Group would snatch our dragon vein again today."

"Mr. Senmu, now that the Su Group's headquarters building project has begun, our company may have no way to reclaim this land."

"No! Conventional means are not an option, but we can unite with major international companies such as the United States. Then someone will naturally help us persuade the Su Group to give up."

"Hey! Mr. Morimu is indeed an expert on China. He knows clearly that Chinese people appreciate the big picture."

"Haha, I once studied abroad at Peking University, and I've never given up studying China. I naturally have endless ways to deal with the Chinese."
