Chapter 47 Ma Changtu
This night pearl may be worth some money now and be considered a treasure, but Zheng Wenjie, a later person, knows very well that the night pearl is actually natural fluorite.
Hua Rong's heart was pounding as she stared at the fluorescent night pearl, and the disciples of the Gong family couldn't take their eyes off it either.
"This is an heirloom of my family. Back then, a Qing prince offered 10,000 taels of gold for it, but I didn't sell it. Today, will your Yanghongyuan accept me as a guest?" Zheng Wenjie said calmly.
Hua Rong tried to regain her senses, bowed slightly to Zheng Wenjie, and said with a respectful smile: "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and inform our shopkeeper and boss."
Zheng Wenjie nodded slightly and pointed at the table.
"Sir, wait a moment, I'll be there soon." Hua Rong came out of the private room and said to Bu Bu who was guarding the door, "Go find Bili to serve tea to the guests. You wait here and keep the guests. I'll go find the boss."
"I understand. Sister Hua, don't worry. Leave it to me!" Bubu nodded respectfully and trotted downstairs to find Bili.
Seeing the expressions of Sanjiangshui and the others, Zheng Wenjie laughed and pointed at the Night Pearl to signal Sanjiangshui, "Put it away."
Luo Yunqi didn't expect that the thing he brought along would turn out to be such a treasure: "Master Zheng, what is this?"
"I picked it up. Use this thing to lure out the Changtu Chamber of Commerce and sell things to them. This thing is worthless and fake." Zheng Wenjie nodded calmly. This thing is valuable if it is good, but after it is broken into pieces, it is naturally not worth mentioning.
After Luo Yunqi and his fellow disciples looked at each other, they chose to remain silent and wait and see how the situation would develop.
Hua Rong took the elevator to the rooftop of Yanghong Garden. The decoration of the rooftop of Yanghong Garden was completely different from that of the downstairs. Ma Changtu sat at the table, enjoying the rare moment of relaxation in the day.
Ma Changtu did not want to have anything to do with the Japanese pirates, but the Changtu Chamber of Commerce did a big business, and whether it was business in Saudi Arabia or in the Northeast, it could not escape the harassment of the Japanese pirates.
But Ma Changtu was only pretending to be submissive for a while, as he was always ready to launch a counterattack against the Japanese pirates. After all, he and Ma San had different perspectives. In Ma San's opinion, the Japanese pirates could accomplish things, but Ma Changtu did not believe that the Japanese pirates had much potential for development and would be defeated sooner or later.
A rhythmic sound of high heels came from far away, and someone said respectfully, "President, a stranger just came. He has a piece of glowing jade that is as big as a human head. He offered 10,000 yuan and wanted Su Wan'er to go to the private room and sing a song for him."
Ma Changtu took a sip of the red wine in his glass: "Night-shining pearl? It's the size of a human head. Take it out openly? Is he from the puppet Manchukuo? Don't pay attention to him."
Hua Rong bowed slightly and said, "President, he seems to want to sell this treasure."
Ma Changtu took a look at the radiant Huarong and hugged her graceful waist: "We are currently fighting against the Japanese pirates. At this critical moment, a treasure suddenly appeared. Do you think there will be any problems here?"
Huarong smiled charmingly, and stroked Ma Changtu's old face with her fair hands: "You are too cautious, but I just love your personality."
Ma Changtu put one hand on Hua Rong's waist, thought for a while and said: "However, since it's delivered to our door, we should take it. No matter what tricks the other party has, we can deal with it." Hua Rong nodded, twisted gently, and got out of Ma Changtu's arms. Ma Changtu stood up, drank the health wine in the cup, and straightened his robe: "However, if it is possible to hide it from the Japanese pirates, don't let them know. If the Japanese pirates take it away, what else can I steal?"
Hua Rong took Ma Changtu's arm and asked, "Rob? What if this customer really wants to sell this treasure and came to us? What if he has other treasures? Should we just do this deal?"
Ma Changtu laughed and patted Hua Rong's hand: "There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky. It is enough to get a treasure for free. We are cooperating with the Japanese pirates now. We can't just be scared. We must take advantage of their momentum and make further progress."
"You arranged it very well. Is there anything unusual on the way to the private room?"
Hua Rong thought for a moment and said, "After entering Room 7 and asking for a table, he expressed his intention and spent 10,000 yuan, hoping that Su Wan'er would accompany him. I felt that he had bad intentions, so he took out this treasure."
Ma Changtu snorted coldly: "Wan'er is my niece's granddaughter. He is plotting against my relatives in my own territory. Do you think he deserves to die?"
Hua Rong was stunned. Ma Changtu's way of doing things was completely different from before, but she was also a smart person. She knew that now that they were cooperating with the Japanese pirates, they naturally could not follow the rules as before. Now the Japanese pirates had to take the blame.
Ma Changtu shook the phone number ring on the table and picked up the receiver: "A Ming, take your escort team and surround Room 7. Don't let a fly in. Even if it's a Japanese pirate who dares to break in, I'll beat him up."
The news was confirmed on the other end of the phone. Ma Changtu put down the phone and heard a charming voice: "President, are we going to fight the Japanese pirates too?"
Ma Changtu looked at Huarong's attractive red lips and kissed her gently. He looked into her eyes and smiled confidently, "The Japanese pirates need our trade route with Saudi Arabia. Even if I slap the Fengtian commander in the face, he will have to take it. Let's go and take a look at this treasure."
No one, including Sanjiangshui, paid any attention to private room number seven. Bubu and a beautiful woman in a green cheongsam were standing at the door of the room. The only sound in the room was Zheng Wenjie knocking on the table.
Zheng Wenjie's ears moved slightly and his fingers paused. He heard two rows of people suddenly standing outside the door. He knew that the main person had arrived and smiled slightly.
The door of the private room was pushed open, and Ma Changtu walked in first, followed by Hua Rong and a middle-aged man wearing a short jacket.
"Hahaha, your visit to Yanghong Garden is really an honor to us. My name is Ma Changtu, and I am the president of Changtu Chamber of Commerce. What is your name?" Ma Changtu's voice was very inconsistent with his old appearance, and he was full of energy.
Under Hua Rong's service, he sat opposite Zheng Wenjie.
Zheng Wenjie smiled and said gently, "My last name is Zheng, Zheng Wenjie. Miss Gong Ruomei of the Gong family is my fiancée. I came here today to find out who was so immoral today that he shot someone from the Gong family."
The middle-aged man frowned slightly and looked at Zheng Wenjie.
Ma Changtu seemed to be stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "You are Master Zheng who killed Ma San. What a fate! When I heard about your deeds of revenge for Mr. Gong, I drank three cups of wine on the spot. I wanted to treat you to a banquet, but unfortunately you suddenly disappeared. Today is a good day! But, Master Zheng, did you find the wrong person? It was the Japanese pirates who fired the guns during the day, and we at Yanghongyuan could do nothing about it."
