Idols are idols, but that doesn't mean you have the chance to meet them in person.
But Muzi Li must know the manager of A+.
A+ stores have opened all over the East China Sea, but there is only one boss.
"Gulu."
The sound of swallowing saliva uncontrollably.
It's no wonder that Muzi and Li didn't have enough concentration. Almost all the eyes of the entire billiard hall were focused on him, and everyone was cautious.
Compared with successful scholar-type entrepreneurs, bosses with a political background are undoubtedly more awe-inspiring.
"Thank you."
Before leaving, Jiang Chen remembered Mu Zili who invited him to play ball, looked at him and thanked him.
Mu Zili's body tensed up involuntarily, and he forced out a stiff but polite smile.
Then, under the leadership of the manager, the group left.
Everyone in the billiard hall watched it off, but in comparison, Muzi Li was undoubtedly the hardest hit.
"Is that really Bai Haoran?"
After the person disappeared out of sight, the best friends came running over.
"Shh! Keep your voice down."
Taboo for the venerable.
When power reaches a certain level, calling someone by their first name is a taboo for outsiders.
"Who else could he be? I have been playing at A+ for more than a year, and I finally met him in person! It's just a pity that I didn't dare to take pictures just now."
Best friends whispered.
"Hey!"
Someone patted the shoulder of Muzi Li, who was still in a daze, and said, "Don't be dazed. Who is that guy you played with just now? Did you see that Boss Bai was very polite to him?"
"It's not just polite, it's out of respect! I even heard Boss Bai call him something less!"
"Muzi, talk! Where does that brother come from?"
"How the hell do I know." Muzi Li was annoyed, his mind was still blank, he squeezed the white ball in his hand, "I just played with him, and we haven't finished yet."
"You are still awesome! It is said that Boss Bai is very prosperous in Haojiang and has an irreconcilable relationship with the He family. When a few of my buddies went to Haojiang to play, they also went to Boss Bai's casino and said that they are not inferior at all. The size of those traditional companies and their backgrounds are unfathomable! ”
"No wonder I can lead a beauty of that level. She must be the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life!"
"Isn't your goddess Pei Yunxi? Is she more beautiful than Pei Yunxi?"
"I've never seen Pei Yunxi in person. But you all saw his appearance just now. It's like having a beauty filter on."
Several people couldn't help but nod, deeply agreeing.
In an era where technology is so advanced, so-called beauties are everywhere, but only online.
Thanks to the modification of the software, when the phone is turned on, almost all women are fair-skinned and beautiful, but what about in reality?
After all, people still have to live in reality.
"Muzi, you are still capable!"
The best friends are evil and sour.
Muzi Li, who had been abused twice by others, was not in the mood to talk nonsense at this time. He looked at the direction Jiang Chen and others were leaving, and heaved a sigh of relief.
As a native of the East China Sea and with considerable wealth, he can naturally understand things that most people can understand.
The "entrepreneurship" he just mentioned was probably beyond his imagination.
But it’s too low-key, right?
Muzi Li couldn't help but smile bitterly, lowered his head, and rubbed the white ball in his hand.
Some people may only have one chance to meet each other in their lifetime, but the hour just now is something he may remember for the rest of his life.
Without leaving A+, Jiang Chen and Bai Haoran came to a conference room, which was probably the place where managers usually held meetings with employees.
After preparing the tea himself, the manager wisely walked out, and several handsome men in suits stood outside.
"Whatever skin care products Brother Bai usually uses, I will try them later."
Jiang Chen chuckled and said, it's not just a joke. He achieved a class jump and became an idol in the minds of many people. It also became a catchy story in many people's mouths. However, Bai Haoran is indeed the same as when he was instructed by Mr. Liang to go to Dongda University. Not much changes when you chop him.
It refers to appearance.
The mental energy is definitely different.
Don't even say it.
At that time, it was just Bai Haoran, the young owner of the billiard hall, who was really more "vicissitudes" than he is now.
Skin care products are more or less effective.
But the best skin care products are always power and wealth.
"Young Master Jiang really needs to use it. Young Master Jiang has really aged a lot."
Jiang Chen laughed.
Except for Luo Peng, few people would joke with him now, including Xiaobai and Brother Shao, who had also slept under the same roof for four years.
The relationship between him and Bai Haoran is indeed special. When Bai Haoran brought him to the construction site, he was the owner of a small billiard hall. In fact, to be honest, he was just a low-class gangster. As for him, he was an incompetent college student who still needed to be rescued by the college beauty.
They have all known each other since childhood.
This friendship of climbing together is undoubtedly special.
Although he says he is old, Bai Haoran is the only one who insists on calling him Mr. Jiang so far.
Doesn't this sound much younger than Mr. Jiang and Director Jiang?
"You still understand me. There are so many things to worry about, how can you not grow old."
"Is it possible that it is related to the environment?"
environment?
Jiang Chen was puzzled for a moment and his eyes were inquiring.
Bai Haoran looked at the Taoist sister sitting next to Jiang Chen, "How can Mr. Jiang not look older when he is with Miss Duanmu."
Jiang Chen was stunned, and then laughed.
"Your flattery is just a slap on the horse's leg. She won't understand."
Duanmu Liuli, who is increasingly improving in human sophistication, doesn't know if he has reached a sufficient level. Anyway, there are no problems, but Bai Haoran's "flattery" ability has been greatly improved visible to the naked eye.
From the beginning of their acquaintance, in Jiang Chen's impression, the other party was not the eloquent type.
Perhaps as he said himself, he was also affected by the environment?
As a gleaming new international casino, the most powerful people in Haojiang are a group of women.
If you want to gain a foothold there, you may not be able to do it if you don't have a sweet mouth.
As a side note, those brilliant and outstanding women are obviously the most qualified, but why don’t they box?
Well, that's a long way off. Even if you don't box, there has been a saying since ancient times that it is difficult to raise a woman with a villain. It must have taken a lot of hard work for Bai Haoran to gain a foothold in Haojiang.
"Is everything going well?"
Jiang Chen got to the point.
"Affected by the general environment, the gaming industry as a whole is showing a downward trend. Last year, the gaming revenue of the entire Haojiang was only a little over 200 billion."
Just over 200 billion.
Perhaps this number does not form a clear concept, but it is clear when compared with Las Vegas, which is also the capital of gambling.
Haojiang's revenue of more than 200 billion is seven times that of Las Vegas!
That's right.
In fact, a long time ago, Haojiang surpassed the world-famous Las Vegas and became the well-deserved number one casino city in the world!
Do you really think that Miss Vera Dupont went all the way to Haojiang to invest in a small business?
"Where's Xinghui?"
"Xinghui's efficiency remains above the average level of Haojiang."
"Okay, the overall environment is down, but it can still maintain growth against the trend. Brother Bai is indeed a talent in this area."
There are specialties in the art industry.
Some people are born to live in the gray areas of the world.
wrong.
What is it called gray?
Gambling is completely legal in Haojiang.
"It doesn't have much to do with me. It's mainly because Miss He introduced me to a talent." Of course Jiang Chen knew who this Miss He was referring to, and for a while it seemed as if the sound of waves on the black sand beach could be heard again.
He was silent for a while, then asked with a normal smile: "What kind of talent?"
"Zhong Xiaoye, nicknamed the Nine-Headed Bird, used to be Yu Guangrong's subordinate."
For Boss Jiang, the level of this nine-headed bird is undoubtedly too low, but he still knows Yu Guangrong and has seen him in Haojiang. He was previously regarded as the top one among the gambling king's followers, but the He family followed suit.
But times have changed, or people’s minds are unpredictable. Since the death of the gambling king, the eldest brother of Jianghu, who grew up as a junkyard operator step by step with the help of the He family, has begun to have an ambiguous attitude towards the He family, and his position is wavering in the competition for gambling cards. Of course, he did not switch sides in the end. , but as a vassal of the He family, it is undoubtedly a kind of spiritual betrayal to have both sides in that situation.
"Where's Yu Guangrong?"
Boss Jiang was "old" after all, and he immediately discovered the unreasonableness in Bai Haoran's words.
How could Yu Guangrong's subordinates be qualified to talk to the He family? They were below the rank.
"Yu Guangrong was arrested."
"Caught?"
Jiang Chen was surprised.
"Well, the one who was caught last year was sentenced to sixteen years."
Jiang Chen was speechless.
If he remembered correctly, the Tou Ma and Haojiang eldest brothers of the He family, who were the idols and goals of many Junket operators, were already very young. They were sentenced to sixteen years, which meant that there was almost no chance of turning around in this life. Even if they could survive By the time he is released from prison, he will be a dying old man.
"Who did it?"
Jiang Chen was curious.
A person like Yu Guangrong definitely deserves to go to prison, but you have to know that with the things he has done, he should have gone in long ago. In the end, he was unharmed when he was still an insignificant Junket Operator, but now he has been imprisoned after becoming famous. If there is a disaster, then it is not a simple problem of illegal crimes.
Bai Haoran didn't answer.
"What family?"
From his silence, Jiang Chen sensed clues.
"My personal opinion is that it may be He Junru."
The first half of the sentence and even the word "maybe" can be ignored.
Although they didn’t have many interactions with each other, the independent and strong Miss He Er still left a special impression on Boss Jiang. What’s more, when he had never been to Haojiang before, he heard that I told you the name of Miss He Er.
It is said that wealthy families favor sons over daughters, but the well-known Miss He Er broke this deep-rooted traditional thought. She was once considered by the outside world to be the descendant of the He family with the most gambling king style, and the most suitable to inherit the He family business. candidate.
But all this changed after someone set foot in Haojiang.
"This Miss He Er really deserves her reputation."
Jiang Chen sighed.
The higher you stand, the harder you will fall.
Some mistakes cannot be made.
People may not seem to take it seriously at the time, but they still treat you the same as before. But that doesn't mean there won't be any settling of accounts later.
Therefore, there is no turning back for betrayal, either don't do it or do it completely.
The real superiors will not fight and kill as bloody as Jianghu Caoman, because they often do not need to do it themselves. It may be just a word, an instruction, a dinner, or a tea party, and there is no need to see blood when killing.
"To be favored by He Junru, this nine-headed bird must have certain abilities, right?"
"The reason why he is nicknamed the Nine-Headed Bird is because he is very smart. When he was working under Yu Guangrong, he did very well in Southeast Asia. Maybe he saw the cracks in the relationship between Yu Guangrong and the He family, so he took advantage of the opportunity to stab himself. The eldest brother used it as a ticket to join the He family."
Jianghu is not far away.
Especially in Haojiang, the new world gaming center that is so rich and glamorous.
This place is still filled with flashes of swords and shadows.
It's just a different form than before.
The danger and crisis are getting worse, but the competition now is no longer violence, but brains.
"You don't like this person very much?"
Jiang Chen looked at Bai Haoran.
"He is a talent, but he is also a villain, and he will do anything for his own benefit."
Bai Haoran said it bluntly.
"He is indeed a villain, but that's not important. The He family doesn't care about that. What the He family cares about is whether he can bring more benefits than Yu Guangrong. Of course, it's the same for us. Didn't you just say that? , because he has opened up the Southeast Asian market, attracted high-rollers from Southeast Asia to spend money in Haojiang, and guaranteed the profits of the casino. This is enough for doing business, not making friends.”
Of course Bai Haoran understands these truths.
"He also wanted to see Mr. Jiang, but I refused."
Haojiang's rising star, many people want to meet this unseen figure, but Boss Jiang is not as carefree as he is.
He didn't take it to heart at all.
"You seem to come back rarely. None of the regulars here have seen you. Since you are on the right track over there, you don't need to worry too much. Come back and play ball."
"How many games are you going to have, Mr. Jiang?"
Bai Haoran sent out an invitation.
"Another day. I still have to pick someone up."
Jiang Chen stood up.
Bai Haoran would definitely not force it. As he stood up, he said: "Miss He asked me to bring a gift to Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Chen turned his head.
international school.
This time Wu Sheng was very punctual.
"Brother Jiang Chen, you don't have to come to pick him up. I'll just take the subway."
Wu Sheng held his schoolbag and opened the car door.
"Switch sides."
He was about to sit down when he realized something was wrong.
"What is this?"
I saw a transparent box placed on the seat in the back next to his sliding door. There seemed to be an animal in the box.
"Go and sit over there."
Jiang Chen continued.
Wu Sheng could only close the door, go around to the other side, get in the car again, and look carefully again, this time he could see clearly.
It's a dog.
To be precise.
It's a dog's head.
"I lost it!"
He couldn't help it, and the old mantra came out again.
"Is this a beast with a dog's head?"
He looked at the two adults in the front row in surprise.
Taoist priest Duanmu didn't understand this and started the car.
"Do you know him?"
Jiang Chen didn't pretend to be dumb.
"Who doesn't know the twelve zodiac signs? They are national treasures! I'm sorry, brother Jiang Chen, are you still engaged in counterfeiting business?"
Although he is a rural child, the bronze statues of animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals are common sense. Let alone him, even if his father Wu Guangjiang has not finished the third grade of elementary school, he still knows which animal heads have returned and which have not.
To say the least, even if the missing dog head comes back, it should be kept in the National Museum. How could it be here?
Wu Sheng went to hug it, but found that the weight was unexpectedly heavy.
"Don't fall, otherwise it will take twenty years to get started."
Jiang Chen looked at the rearview mirror. (End of chapter)
