Lu Yiwei did not expect an overseas returnee to be so eloquent, no less than a Jianghu person. Once he started bragging, he simply couldn't stop. If he did not stop now, he would not get to the point for the whole morning. Lu Yiwei quickly interrupted, "Zou Ning, let's talk about Brother Rabbit's past later. Tell me about the cement factory in Nanyang County."
Zou Ning took a sip of coffee and said, "Well, how should I put it? It's complicated and simple at the same time. Brother Rabbit once had a meal with the Secretary of Nanyang County. He heard that the county was going to attract investors. The Secretary encouraged him to invest, but he did not have the money. However, the Secretary said that he could generate money. Brother Rabbit was tempted, so … "
At this point, Lu Yiwei immediately interrupted Zou Ning, "Wait! You mean the Secretary of Nanyang County? What Secretary? The Secretary of the County party committee? "
"Yes!" Zou Ning said carelessly, "I think he was called Secretary Liu or something. I can't remember."
Lu Yiwei took out Liu Kecheng's photo from his pocket and placed it in front of Zou Ning, "Is it him?"
"Yes!" Zou Ning said, "It's him. He's a very forthright person."
It seemed that Lu Yiwei's speculation was right. Liu Kecheng was behind this. But why was he doing this? There were too many questions. Just when Lu Yiwei continued to ask, Zou Ning revealed something else. "The cement factory incident is not groundless. We had wanted to do it, but we didn't have the money. Your County's Qin Erbao had been helping us in the dark. We are all good buddies." Zou Ning said.
"Ah?" Lu Yiwei did not hear it clearly and asked again, "Who are you talking about?"
"Qin Erbao!" Zou Ning said heartlessly, "Isn't he the richest man in Nanyang County? You don't know him? "
Lu Yiwei was shocked. He did not expect Qin Erbao to be involved in this. It was unbelievable. He asked, "What role did Qin Erbao play in this?"
"Well …" Zou Ning became vigilant and said, "I haven't asked you yet. Are you in cahoots with those people just now?"
"No. I'm not a police officer. Do I look like one? "Lu Yiwei said.
Zou Ning sized him up and said, "I don't think you want to, but you look like an official. What kind of official are you now? Do you want to be promoted? I can find a way for you. As long as you have the money, there's nothing you can't do. "
Lu Yiwei sneered and said, "So you're going to continue with Brother Rabbit's original business?"
"Hai!" Zou Ning was a little embarrassed. "I'm just trying to make a living! But if you want to promote, I can really find someone for you. Deputy Governor Qiu Yuanhang, do you know him? I can get on his good side. By the way, wasn't he the top leader of Bei Zhou City in the past? That makes things easier. How about it? Do you have any ideas? "
Some people could focus their attention and talk along the main topic, but some people would wander off into the distance. Lu Yiwei really doubted Zou Ning's identity as an overseas returnee. He immediately stopped and said, "We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about the cement factory. You don't have to talk about the specifics. I have my own ways to find out. Just tell me where Brother Rabbit is now. "
"I don't know!" Zou Ning said blankly.
Lu Yiwei thought Zou Ning was hiding something on purpose. He took out a stack of money from his pocket and put it in front of him. "As long as you tell me, this is all yours."
Zou Ning was the kind of person who would betray his friends for money. He hesitated for a long time and said, "Lu Yiwei, I really don't know, but I can ask around for you."
Lu Yiwei took back half of the money and said, "That's fine too. I'll give you half first, and you can settle the rest after you find it, okay? "
Zou Ning put the money in his pocket and said readily, "No problem. This is a piece of cake for me. I can settle it tonight."
"Okay!" Lu Yiwei said seriously, "Zou Ning, you and I are both smart people. I hope you don't play any tricks on me. Although I don't have as many connections as you, it's more than enough to get this done in Jiangdong. "
"Oh!" Zou Ning said in a strange tone, "So you're also a gangster. Done! Straightforward! I like straightforward people. "
After the matter was settled, Lu Yiwei got up to leave. He didn't expect Zou Ning to stop him. "Lu Yiwei, how far are you and Xia Jinhe now? Are you going to get married? "
Lu Yiwei stopped and hesitated for a while. He didn't say anything and continued to walk out the door. Zou Ning didn't let go of any opportunity to make money. He shouted, "Do you want to hear about Xia Jinhe's past? I'm sure you haven't. "
Lu Yiwei took a step back and turned back to look at Zou Ning coldly. "What do you mean?"
Zou Ning tilted his neck and stood on tiptoe. "Nothing. I just want to show you a different Xia Jinhe. It might be useful."
"Then tell me." Lu Yiwei didn't want to listen at first, but he couldn't resist his strong curiosity.
"Well!" Zou Ning touched his chin with his finger, his eyes full of greed.
Lu Yiwei understood what Zou Ning meant. He smiled. "Do we need to make a deal for this?"
"If we were friends, I could provide it for you for free," Zou Ning said. "But we're not friends. You have to pay for the information. You also know that in today's information society, the more information you have, the more you can adapt to changes and be invincible. You won't be spending this money for nothing. It's the same with dating. You think she's beautiful and gentle, but she's hiding another side to you. You might be fooled. "
Lu Yiwei took out the remaining money from his pocket and threw it to Zou Ning. "Spit it out!"
Zou Ning took the money and put it in his pocket. "How should I put it? Xia Jinhe is too fake. I wonder if you've noticed? But you won't be able to. She hides it well, and ordinary people can't deal with her. "
Lu Yiwei didn't want to listen to Zou Ning's nonsense. He interrupted, "Zou Ning, I only have one question for you. Tell me honestly, between you and him, who chased who? And who dumped who? "
"Well!" Zou Ning was still a little embarrassed. "I chased her, and she dumped me."
"Are you sure?"
"How can it be fake?" Zou Ning said. "We went to America together. At first, we made vows of undying love, but she later found an American boyfriend and dumped me. Why did I go to America? I didn't have the mood to study, so I abandoned my studies and came back. After that, we never contacted each other again. Actually, she … Sigh! Why did you leave before I finished talking? This person … "
Before Zou Ning finished speaking, Lu Yiwei had already strode out of the teahouse. He sat in the car and took a big puff of smoke. What else was there to say? This had already proved that Xia Jinhe was lying to him. What else was there to say? Lu Yiwei angrily punched the table and chair with his fists. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He couldn't stand others lying to him, but Xia Jinhe …
After Lu Yiwei calmed down a little, he took out the recording pen from his pocket and turned it off. Looking at the darkening sky, he was in a terrible mood. He called Fu Jiangwei and told him that he wouldn't be going back tonight. Then, he drove aimlessly on the street. After walking to the bustling area, Lu Yiwei accidentally saw a bar and had an idea. He found a parking space and parked the car. Then, he walked in.
Lu Yiwei liked to wear jackets, especially the short-cut ones. Today, he wore a dark gray jacket with a white shirt, khaki slacks, and a pair of reddish-brown leather shoes. His short hair and sunglasses made him look fresh and handsome.
Beautiful women would attract attention no matter where and when they were, and so would men. Whether they were pleasing to the eye or not, they were especially pleasing to the eye. Lu Yiwei's handsome appearance was obviously in line with the "handsome man" in the eyes of the modern people. He would attract attention wherever he went. Even men couldn't help but glance at him. Perhaps Lu Yiwei's "handsomeness" couldn't be reflected in the county, but it was vividly reflected in the metropolis of Jiangdong. Before they even entered the bar, a few women with heavy makeup came up to tug at them.
Lu Yiwei wasn't in a good mood. He let go of his usual restraint and decided to go crazy for once.
Bars in the early New Era were relatively simple. In the middle of the bar was a huge dance floor with simple rainbow-colored spotlights and revolving lights. Some scantily dressed men and women swayed to the beat of the music, making suggestive gestures from time to time. On the other side of the stage, there was a band singing rock and roll and screaming with all their might. There were semi-enclosed sofas all around. Only the bar counter was completely open. The air in the bar was dirty, the lights were dim, and the smell of alcohol danced in the air. There was even a strong smell of hormones.
Lu Yiwei rarely went to a place like this. This was probably his third time. Since he had let go, he might as well relax for once. Lu Yiwei didn't hesitate to order a table full of drinks and drank with the two women. The women who frequented such places were indeed strong. Lu Yiwei thought he could hold his liquor well, but it seemed like he couldn't handle the two women. Fortunately, he was quick-witted. He picked up the dice on the table and said, "How about this, let's play a different game. If I lose, I punish myself with a drink. If you lose, you don't have to drink, but I have to touch you. Deal? "
"Stop it!" The two women didn't feel shy because of Lu Yiwei's straightforwardness. Instead, they became more excited and threw themselves at Lu Yiwei, acting coquettishly.
