Chapter 184 The first time I saw Shi Zhenxiang(1/2)
So similar.
This person is at least 70-80% similar to Shi Keshuang. Not only his appearance, dressing style, and behavior are all very similar.
So just now she almost mistakenly thought it was Shi Keshuang who was dressing up as a woman to tease her. Fortunately, she quickly discovered that there were some differences between the two, and besides, the voice was not that easy to imitate.
"I'm Shi Zhenxiang."
Shi Zhenxiang saw that Zhou Xiaomeng was in a daze and was staring at her in a daze. She seemed to understand something. She approached with a smile and actively motioned for Zhou Xiaomeng to sit down. She also sat opposite and poured tea for Zhou Xiaomeng herself.
, pushed towards her.
"Shi, Shi, it smells so good?"
Zhou Xiaomeng shouted out the name in a daze, unable to hide her smile. She also felt that it was inappropriate and rude, so her expression was a little awkward for a moment.
"Everyone who hears my name for the first time will have the same reaction as Boss Zhou. At first, I was deeply disturbed. However, this name was given by my parents and I can't change it. I have to try my best to make everyone think that I don't have this name.
"It tastes like that." Shi Zhenxiang was not angry, but instead made fun of herself, and her words were not humorous.
Zhou Xiaomeng's slightly embarrassed mood subsided slightly, and at the same time, she became more impressed and fond of Shi Zhenxiang.
However, he still drank tea with his cup in hand to cover up his remaining embarrassment, and then used the time of drinking tea to look at Shi Zhenxiang, wondering why Shi Zhenxiang appeared here and was respectfully called boss.
Could it be that she is the boss behind this drunken red building?
She remembered that Shi Keshuang mentioned that Shi Zhenxiang was his cousin, so the Zuihong Mansion actually belonged to the Shi family?
This damn Shi Keshuang, why has it never been mentioned?
When Zhou Xiaomeng was in a complicated mood, Shi Zhenxiang was also secretly looking at her.
The praise in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
It's just that she is better at hiding her thoughts than Zhou Xiaomeng, and will not be easily noticed by others.
"Boss Zhou is wondering why I took the initiative to invite you?"
Shi Zhenxiang saw that Zhou Xiaomeng was reluctant to ask questions, so she had no choice but to speak herself.
Zhou Xiaomeng smiled, changed her posture, and nodded magnanimously.
"Boss Shi, are you willing to answer my questions?"
"Of course." Shi Zhenxiang smiled slightly and took the initiative to bring up the teapot to refill Zhou Xiaomeng's tea. Then he refilled a cup for himself and invited Zhou Xiaomeng to taste the fine tea he had collected while talking about it.
"I have heard of Boss Zhou's name a long time ago, and I don't hide it from Boss Zhou. It was my cousin Shi Hongyu who mentioned it to me. She said that Boss Zhou is a good match for my cousin Shi Keshuang, but it's a pity that he already has a husband.
Lang, at that time I was still wondering who could get into the eyes of my red jade girl.
Later, I heard people mention Boss Zhou several times, and I remembered it in my heart.
However, I am very busy and have many properties under my control, many of which are out of town. I am often away from Qingshui County and have never had the opportunity to see them.
It wasn't until two people came to me at the same time that I took the opportunity to meet Boss Zhou."
Shi Zhenxiang spoke frankly, but Zhou Xiaomeng became even more confused.
"Two people?"
"Yes, my cousin told me that you are a very smart person, and people outside also told me that Boss Zhou is a man of means. Boss Zhou might as well take a guess."
Shi Zhenxiang seemed polite and kind, but she also meant to test Zhou Xiaomeng.
Although Zhou Xiaomeng was a little anxious, since the other party said she was begging, he must have some understanding of her current situation. She also understood a little bit in her heart. She calmed down and thought about it for a while, but she also found something.
Come.
He took a sip of tea and smiled slightly.
"There are two people. I guess one is my younger brother Shi Keshuang, and the other one is the mother of the drunken madam Hong Mansion?"
Zhou Xiaomeng felt that Shi Keshuang was sure. Furthermore, it seemed that only Mother Hong could be related to this place.
The last time I met Hong’s mother, what Hong’s mother said made her always feel that there was something in her words.
That's why I made this guess.
Seeing that Shi Zhenxiang didn't speak, he thought he had guessed wrong. Just as he was about to think about it more, he saw Shi Zhenxiang curling his lips and smiling slightly.
"Boss Zhou is indeed a smart man. Yes, it is these two people."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Xiaomeng again. Although he was a woman, he had to say that Zhou Xiaomeng did have the ability to attract men.
It's just that Zhou Xiaomeng didn't like being stared at and looked at so much, and she couldn't speak directly, so she had to change her posture slightly.
Shi Zhenxiang really restrained herself and smiled apologetically.
"Don't mind, Boss Zhou. I just heard too much and can't help but want to look at real people. We businessmen all have to have our own way of recognizing people. What do you think, Boss Zhou?"
"That's what Boss Shi said."
This was the first time for Zhou Xiaomeng to meet such a frank person. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she could not feel disgusted by the other person's words.
"Okay, let's get down to business. My cousin is currently confined at home by his cousin. He is also very concerned about Boss Zhou's affairs. He specially asked someone to write me a letter and asked me to help deal with the things that Boss Zhou is worried about now.
Mother Hong is an old person next to me. She has been working hard these years and has never made any demands on me. However, she took the initiative to beg me this time, and she was also interceding for the people that Boss Zhou cares about.
I can’t help but give these two people face.”
"Boss Shi just said that your younger brother has been grounded?"
But Zhou Xiaomeng caught a piece of information and couldn't help but ask, why didn't Shi Keshuang come to see him this day?
"It seems that Boss Zhou still cares about my cousin. Yes, Keshuang is not young. Hongyu has been choosing marriage partners for him. But Keshuang is stubborn. He has always violated his reputation and let Qingshui County.
The famous ladies stayed away. This time, cousin Hongyu chose a marriage for Keshuang. The latter had seen her cousin's portrait and was very satisfied.
The cousin asked her cousin to go and see him, but he left for several days without a trace, which made her very anxious.
Moreover, my cousin has been out in the public eye recently and often hangs out with Boss Zhou, which has caused a lot of rumors about my cousin's bad reputation."
Zhou Xiaomeng was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
Shi Zhenxiang was quite transparent, so she didn't say any more and got down to business.
"I have investigated the matter clearly. Yunxi and Qingning were originally from me, drunk in the Red Mansion. Since they had redeemed themselves and left, they should have given the deed together. Unexpectedly, they were resold to them by someone with ulterior motives.
Jade in stone.
I know Shi Zhongyu. Over the years, most of my cousin's business in Qingshui County has been taken away by Shi Zhongyu.
This time, Boss Zhou and my cousin set up a trap. Although it was a bit risky, it was also a very satisfying thing.
Boss Zhou can rest assured that Shi Zhongyu won't be able to survive for a few days. I have already written a letter to my connections in Beijing. I think Shi Zhongyu's crimes over the years and those who have protected her must be worried.
It's just that these things take time, so if Yunxi and Qingning come to my Zuihong Mansion temporarily, Shi Zhongyu will probably not think of it, and even if he thought of it, he wouldn't dare to show off in my Zuihong Mansion."
Shi Zhenxiang handled things very appropriately. Zhou Xiaomeng didn't even have time to speak, because the other party had already made all the arrangements.
Zhou Xiaomeng just stood up and bowed her hands in thanks.
"Thank you, Boss Shi."
"You're welcome. Boss Zhou is a man with business experience. Maybe we will cooperate in the future. What do you think, Boss Zhou?"
"Of course, as long as Boss Shi doesn't dislike it, Zhou will be honored."
…
at the same time.
In a luxurious mansion in the capital.
Regent Chu Rong, who had just received a letter from Qingshui County, couldn't restrain the anger in his chest after reading the letter. He dropped the teacup that the boy had just brought to the ground. The boy was so frightened that he had not completely withdrawn.
The man shrank and knelt on the ground.
"Prince Regent, spare your life, spare your life."
"It has nothing to do with you, clean it up."
Chu Rong suppressed his wandering anger and sank into the Taishi chair. He put his hands on the armrests and closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, there was only clarity left in his eyes.
Holding a brush in hand, he wrote vigorously and wrote only three words - no mercy.
She would not believe that a businessman from the small town of Qingshui County could do such a harm to the country.
It seems that the bureaucracy of Qingshui County is extremely corrupt. I am afraid that not only Qingshui County, but also the capital is indispensable for their protection.
After sealing it, she put the letter aside.
I wrote another letter, again with few familiar words.
"My sister Qingmei, the officials in Qingshui County will be in charge of Qingming soon."
After sealing it, he handed the two letters to his subordinates together and worked hard.
At the same time, the officials in charge were called in and ordered to severely punish the smuggling incidents at several river ports near Qingshui County, without leaving any relevant officials or businessmen behind.
The official's forehead was already covered with sweat. After listening to the regent's words with fear, he refused to leave.
"Do you still have any objections?"
"No, I don't dare, but what about the regent, the people from the emperor's husband's side, us?"
