Chen Ershao suddenly approached Chen Tai'an, raised his arm to touch his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Big Brother, didn't you have any interest in that Miss Qi Liu before? Why suddenly? Did you take a long time to think about her?"

This is also a little weird. Chen Er Shao remembers that Chen Tai An was not interested in that Miss Qi Liu before, saying that she was just a straw bag with an empty head. The beauty is beautiful, but it is missing. Soul, when you marry home, you can only use it as a vase. If you look at it for a long time, you will get tired and crooked. The beauty of Jinling City has various poses, each with its own style, and the woman on the Qinhuai River is even more charming and charming. Stunning, which one is better than Qi Yutong's wooden beauty?

Of course, for people like Chen Ershao, he doesn't care if he doesn't have connotation and soul, as long as he looks good enough, that's enough.

Of course, Chen Ershao is quite self-aware. He is a famous dude in Jinling City. Qi Yutong is the jewel in the palm of Dashuai Qi. Her brother is also Dashuai Qi’s most important son, and she herself With such a good look, he has no hope of getting it.

However, Chen Ershao felt that Chen Tai'an still had some hope, but in the past he seemed to look down on Qi Yutong, and he had always been interested and lacking, but this time he was suddenly struggling and met again. It was the anointing of Furong, which Chen Er Shao felt a little strange.

Is my elder brother this aesthetic degradation, from looking at the inner beauty to looking at the outer beauty? Has he finally noticed Qi Yutong's beauty?

Sure enough, the eldest brother is the eldest brother. As soon as he made such a big hand, Qi Yutong was directly involved. He had never seen anyone in this world who could escape the charm of lotus cream.

Chen Sanshao lay there lazily, the whole person looked lack of energy, these days he has been hanging out with a few women on the Qinhuai River in the dark, and they don’t know the south, east and northwest. , If it wasn't for Chen Tai'an to call himself back, he would still be lying on the flower boat on the Qinhuai River with his arms around the woman and slumbering.

"Brother, you hurriedly found us back in such a hurry, didn’t you just tell us about these things? If there’s nothing wrong, I’ll go back first. I’m so busy. For a long time, I'm tired too."

Chen Sanshao said, yawned, and his two swollen eye bubbles were about to be squinted together. He sniffed his nose and stood up on the table beside him, shaking. The land is ready to leave.

When Chen Tai'an saw Chen Sanshao's appearance, his brows couldn't help but frowned: "Lao San, are you in the smoke?"

Speaking, his voice was abruptly sharp, looking at Chen Sanshao's gaze as if poisoned, Chen Sanshao was still a little bit babble at first, but he was so frightened by Chen Tai'an. , He immediately became energetic, and hurriedly said: "No, big brother, where am I like that? I don't have one. What do you do with your big brother, do I know how powerful it is? I definitely didn't touch it. !"

Although their family has opened a lot of large smoking restaurants, they also made a lot of money by selling large cigarettes, but their own direct children will not be contaminated with these things.

Don’t look at what they promoted the big smoke as the only good things in the sky, which are never found on the ground, but they know very well in their hearts that these things are absolutely inaccessible, and they can’t be quit. In addition, after this thing is stained, the whole life will be over.

He has seen a lot of people who smoke too much. They are all skinny. They look like skeletons covered in personal skin. They barely look like they are inside. It's already empty.

He also knows what it looks like when people who smoke too much become addicted, and what will happen to those who can’t smoke, so even if he knows it’s true It will make people feel ecstatic and will not be contaminated.

"Big brother, I remember your words clearly. I don't touch it. It's just that there has been a lot of noise these days, and I don't have much energy. I want to go back and have a rest."

Speaking, Chen Sanshao showed a pleasing smile at Chen Tai'an, swearing that he was absolutely free from heavy smoke, and Chen Tai'an saw him like this, and leaned forward and sniffed, except Apart from the heavy powdery smell, there is really no unique smell of big smoke. Chen Tai'an only then relaxed, and his frowning brows unfolded.

"Just remember it, if it’s a good thing, I won’t stop you from touching it, but you can see what the men in the other rooms look like, and then take a look at the smoke What are their daughters-in-laws like? Those sisters-in-laws and siblings looked like they hadn't been moisturized for a long time, all of them looked like withered flowers."

Speaking of this, Chen Tai'an suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneerful smile: "Aren't the few tallest jumpers who can't even give birth to children now?"

This big smoke will only make people feel happy when it is smoked, but the subsequent troubles are countless, whether it is a man or a woman, after being infected, the other is not to mention, this fertility can be It was completely abolished. Although they had grown to look like a man, they were all living eunuchs, and there was no way to make a woman pregnant anymore.

When a woman smokes this thing, her body is completely destroyed, and it is even more difficult to get pregnant.

There were a lot of concubines and concubines in the backyard of the Chen family. Their three brothers were obviously the concubines born to the eldest wife, but their status was much lower than those concubines. All the concubines were mad. It’s terrible, I wish I could ride on their heads, what happened? Now it's not that everyone has to shrink up and become eunuchs honestly.

I have already said everything that needs to be said. Although my two younger brothers have nothing to do, they are better at being obedient and sensible. They are obedient to his eldest brother, so they don’t dare to go east. To the west, the three brothers worked together and naturally took the position of Master Chen.

Now when people outside talk about the next generation of the Chen family, they only know of their three brothers, and the stubborn concubines who used to be very clumsy no longer have a sound.

No one is more aware of the dangers of heavy smoke than Chen Tai'an, so he pays great attention to this aspect, and he also restrained his two younger brothers to keep them from getting these things.

But the others...

In this world, besides their three brothers, are there anyone else?

Chen Tai'an said a few words briefly, seeing that both Chen Ershao and Chen Sanshao were absent-minded, obviously not in the mood to listen to him, so he didn’t say anything, and just sent it away. They left.

After everyone left, Chen Tai'an was the only one left in the study. He turned over the ledger and checked it line by line.

The experience of childhood and adolescence made Chen Tai’an unable to trust anyone. Even his two younger brothers, Chen Tai’an also guarded against them, but those two younger brothers were not ambitious, they only had to Obediently, he won't treat them badly.

"The big smoke in several big smokehouses is almost out of stock. It's time to replenish the goods. It's time to send someone to see the big tobacco field. Now it's blooming. I have to send someone to stare at..."

Big smoke is a fun thing in the eyes of many people, especially in the eyes of those big smokers, it is more important than life, rich smokers can go inside the big smokehouse Buying big cigarettes, and the poor ghosts have no money and channels, so they want to move their minds to the big tobacco fields.

When the smoke blooms and bears fruit from April to July, there will always be some courageous pokes on the tobacco field to get some smoke back.

After all, even the crude smoke can solve the urgent need. Those smokers are addicted to it, but they don’t care about anything.

"It seems that some more people have to be sent there. Although it is not an important thing, it can't let the smokers succeed."

"Kikura and the like should also be prepared, and you must not be merciful to those smokers. If you want free smoke, it depends on whether they have the patience."

The sky outside slowly dimmed. Chen Tai'an looked at the ledger so that his eyes were dizzying. Finally, after reading this part of the ledger, he raised his head with difficulty, and then stretched out his hand to rub it. I rubbed my swollen eyes.

"Xiang Liu, Xiang Liu!"

Chen Tai'an yelled a few times, and a man in Tsing Yi walked in from outside the study. He was Chen Tai'an's henchman. Apart from his two younger brothers, Chen Tai'an trusted Li Xiangliu the most.

"Master, what's your order?"

After Lee Sang-liu came in, he asked respectfully.

Chen Tai'an said: "You should arrange for more people to guard the tobacco field. If this year, if there are any more people who rush in and grab the smoke like last year, don’t keep your hands at that time. ."

When Li Sang-liu heard the words "Kai Sang-liu", he didn't even lift his eyelids, and obediently responded. Then Chen Taian gave a few more words, and Li Sang-liu wrote them down one by one.

"Okay, you go, you go tonight, don't waste time."

"Yes, young master."

Li Xiangliu was about to leave, and was stopped by Chen Tai'an again: "By the way, can I make the lotus cream that I asked to get before?"

Li Sang-liu thought for a while and replied: "It has reached the final stage. It is estimated that it will be done soon. If the young master is in a hurry, I will send someone to urge it."

Chen Tai'an nodded and said, "Yes, let me send it directly, and prepare a few more beautiful packages."

Li Xiangliu responded one by one, and after confirming that Chen Tai'an had no other explanation, he turned and left.

It was late at night, and the lights in the entire Chen Family Courtyard were gradually lit up. Every yard was lively and lively, and it looked like a scene of prosperity and harmony.

Only in the darkness where the light has not reached, there are countless inhuman and ghost beasts hidden in the darkness. They are trapped in the darkness, and they make a desperate wailing, but this sound is caused by the lively The singing and dancing were concealed, and no one could hear it.

"This rebellious boy, why is he so courageous? Who gave him such courage, and stretched his hand so long!"

In the study, Qi Yuanhao looked at the information submitted by his subordinates after investigating, his eyes were red with anger. With a wave of his hand, all the books on the desk were When the sweep fell on the ground, Qi Yuanhao was still not relieved, and he slapped the table vigorously with his big hands, banging the table.

Qi Yuanhao is also a resolute and resolute character. Since the last time I heard from Qi Wang that Qi Yan was involved in those industries under his control, Qi Yuanhao had taken all those industries in Qin Minyan's hands. I took it, and started to sort it out one by one.

In fact, Qi Yan hides his people very well, and the books are also very beautiful. They are clearly assigned to Qi Wang’s property. As a result, seven out of ten people sit in the core position. They were all bought by Qi Yan.

Those people are not good at other things, but their ability to make false accounts is first-rate—inflate the price of raw materials, lower the selling price, falsely report labor, and purchase prices that are better than the market. The price is much higher.

Everything that looks like the price is not high, but after these things add up, the price is not low, so one in and one out, one pressure and one increase, Qin Minyan can get it Isn’t your income much lower?

This is why these industries are obviously doing very well, but the money they get in the end is getting less and less every year.

Qin Minyan is not good at these things, and the shopkeepers in the industries under her are old people who have used them for many years. She was afraid that she did not expect these people to conceal her boldly. What is wrong is found.

Qi Yuanhao simply calculated and found that the profits of those industries controlled by Qin Minyan were at least 40% less.

"Min Min is good at everything, but his perception of money is too bad."

Qi Yuanhao had a big fire, complaining that Qi Yan was ruthless, and Qin Minyan couldn't live in the town, she was also a girl from a big family, how can she manage her accounts so confused?

I also thought that Qi Wang said that he didn't have much funds on hand, so the investment in the arsenal was a bit unable to keep up, and only one weapon was developed.

"Father, if it were not because of insufficient funds, I think I should have developed more weapons, but I also know that the world has not been peaceful in the past two years... After all, it is my extravagant desire."

Thinking of the long-gun effect developed by Qi Wang, Qi Yuanhao's eyes turned red.

"It’s all Qi Yan’s little bastard, am I not good enough for him? The family’s property has given him more than half, and the money earned is not enough for him? The idea hit his elder brother on the head, what is he going to do!"

Qi Yuanhao's confidant saw that his head was so angry that smoke was rising above his head, and the veins on his forehead violently violently, fearing that he would come out of anger, so he hurriedly calmed his emotions.

"Great handsome, don’t want to be angry, you think better, this should be a tiger father without a dog, the second young master has no talent in war, but he is a good hand in business. Isn't he exactly complementary to the young master like this? If these two brothers can act together, one master outside and the other inside, together, wouldn't it be invincible in the world."

Qi Yuanhao’s deputy is named Xu Shaohe. He is closely related to Qi Yan’s mother Xu Zhaorong. He can sit in this position, and Xu Zhaorong cannot be separated.

For this reason, he naturally wanted to help Qi Yan speak.

After what he said, Qi Yan’s wolf ambition has become a means and strategy, able to hold so many people in his hands quietly, and make everything perfect and seamless. It doesn't make people aware of it, and nothing else, just this scheming method is very common.

"Marshal, think about it, the arsenal is a money-burning thing. If you don’t have money to support it, it’s not easy to get results. The young master is not good at business. It's not in these industries, your huge industry has to need someone to take over, right?"

"Second Young Master is still young and he is too sharp. Perhaps he did this for no other reason. He just wanted to help you solve your problems and prove yourself by the way."

Qi Yuanhao was not angry at this son who looks the most like him. He just said that out of anger. Now being comforted by Xu Shaohe, Qi Yuanhao slowly He calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, what Xu Shaohe said still made sense.

"What you said is true, the second child is arrogant, and he is not willing to admit defeat when he is young. I think I said in front of him that he is not as good as his brother, so he survived. Get your heart out, I want to use this method to prove myself."

Xu Shaohe has been with Qi Yuanhao for so many years. When he spoke, Xu Shaohe knew that Qi Yuanhao's attitude had softened.

I want to come too. The palms and backs of the hands are all fleshy, and Qi Yan hasn't done anything harmful to the world. Where is there an overnight hatred between these brothers? It's just a little friction, and if you make a match, the relationship will naturally return to its original state.

Qi Yuanhao, who had calmed down, sat back in the chair again, his eyebrows showed a bit of exhaustion, looking at the evidence he had collected, he smiled bitterly and said, "Shao He, what should you do now? The money is not a small amount. The boss should have an explanation, but I don’t want to be too strict with the second child. After all, I am sorry for him. If it weren’t when I was a kid...well, they Why don't these children understand my heart as a father?"

The reason why Qi Yuanhao maintains Qi Yanduo is not only because he looks most similar to himself, but also because Qi Yuanhao took him out on horseback when he was a child, and ended up going out. The weather was very good at the time, but heavy rain fell on the way halfway. Qi Yuanhao didn't take the rain seriously. After all, how many of them had not been drenched by the rain when they were fighting in battle?

But he forgot that Qi Yan, who was brought out by him, was only six years old and a child. He was soaked in the rain and didn’t change his clothes in time. When Qi Yuanhao brought him home, he had already developed a high fever.

At that time, Qi Yan had a high fever for a few days, and he almost didn’t survive it. Later, even if he got better, there was a problem with his lungs and he couldn’t do too drastic things. Such a flawed person thought It is also impossible to take over the team.

Because of this incident, Qi Yuanhao feels guilty to him. After adding Xu Zhaorong, he never blamed him. After Qi Yan became sensible, he never mentioned this incident. Both of them Being so sensible makes Qi Yuanhao even more guilty, and he can't help being biased towards the two of them on weekdays.

It's like he gave a team to Qi Yan, and then gave him the arsenal and some industries. In order to make up for Qi Yan, he gave most of the remaining industry to Qi Yan. The same Qi Heng, who is a concubine, didn't get much.

The industry in Qi Yan's hands, Qi Yuanhao, did not interfere too much. Instead, he left everything to him to deal with. The reason for this was only because of the debt.

But what he didn't expect was that Qi Yan held so many properties of the Qi family in his hand, and he was still not satisfied, and reached into Qi Wang’s property...

But even this way, he didn't get much anger at Qi Yan.

Xu Shaohe naturally knows Qi Yuanhao’s preference for Qi Yan. Seeing that his expression has softened, Xu Shaohe chased after him with victory: "Look, handsome, it’s better to do this, you let the second master replenish the lack of money. Young Master, of course all this is going on in secret, and then you are looking for someone to smooth out the book and introduce a few scapegoats by the way, and this will pass."

"As for the Second Young Master, he should be punished for doing this kind of thing. You might as well scold him severely, let him know that he was wrong, and put the drink to the big Master apologizes and promises that he will not commit it again. What do you think?"

This is a good idea
