Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

In the first three days of Wanju's opening, business was booming and profits were considerable.

Although Tong's mother didn't come to the store, she began to pay attention to household items, paying attention to what kind of things the ladies and ladies she had friends with liked, and told Tao Shuobai to listen.Tao Shuobai thought that if Tong's mother had something to do, it would be a good thing to pass the boredom and have some sustenance for her spirit, so she continued to guide her quietly.

Three days later, the discount period is over, the freshness is over, and the weekend is over, Wanju's business seems to have cooled down all of a sudden.

"There don't seem to be any customers, miss." Su Xi looked at the shop with few people, her face full of anxiety.

"This is normal. It is impossible for any store to be full every day. At the end of the weekend, there will be a few days of cold weather, but it does not mean that our business is not good. Whether the business is good or not depends not on the number of customers, but on the profit at the end of the month. "The reason why Tao Shuobai told her this in detail is because she knew that Tong's mother would often ask, and if she saw Suxi anxious, Tong's mother would also worry about getting angry.

The store was not busy, so Tao Shuobai set up an easel next to the flower shelf under the patio, and continued to draw unfinished paintings.

In the painting is a sea of ​​undulating waves and turbulent waves. A small boat can be vaguely seen traveling alone in the wind and waves. There is a red figure on the small boat, which is small but cannot be ignored.On the other side of the sea, a few rays of golden sunlight peeked through the thick clouds. There was a small island full of flowers and green trees.

This painting is called "The Sea", and it was his wedding gift to Li Xuemei.

On the other hand, Zhou Tingchen's injury improved, and Shen Zhipei gave him a mission to go south to recover from his injury, and secretly explore Sun Wen's strength.Now all over the country is chaotic, although Shen Zhipei ostensibly belongs to the Beiyang government, in fact the warlords in various places are doing their own thing, and there are too many things that are kings today and bandits tomorrow, Shen Zhipei wants to leave a way out for himself.

Zhou Tingchen was no longer the former Zhou Tingchen. He received the order, but he did not propose to release Min Ru as in the original book.

The current Zhou Tingchen didn't even remember Min Ru.

Earlier when Shen Zhipei settled in Shanghai, Mrs. Jin of the Golden House held a welcome dinner, but there were two assassins, including Min Ru.Min Ru was arrested by Zhou Tingchen, but it was a pity that Min Ru insisted that Shen Zhipei was killed to avenge his father.Min Ru's father was Min Deren, who was said to have been killed by Shen Zhipei, and Min's family was also burned to the ground.

Min Ru's background was true, but Zhou Tingchen and Shen Zhipei didn't believe it would be so simple.

Originally, Zhou Tingchen proposed to release Min Ru to catch big fish, but now Zhou Tingchen has changed people.

However, Min Ru was able to come to Shanghai to assassinate Shen Zhipei, it is impossible that no one would respond.Luo Hanyuan, the general manager of Du's Industrial, once went to visit Min Ru's supervisor. Zhou Tingchen didn't believe that they were just classmates or romantic love, but directly suspected Du Ruida of Du's Industrial.Now that Zhou Tingchen had forgotten about it for the time being, Du Ruida still operated secretly and rescued Min Ru.

Min Ru escorted 100 million military pay to Guangzhou, and Zhou Tingchen also went to Guangzhou, but the two did not meet, which is different from the original drama.

All the way Zhou Tingchen went south was thinking about Tao Shuobai, thinking about his lost memory, he even felt that the memory existed somewhere, but there was an invisible barrier blocking him, and he couldn't recall it if he couldn't break that barrier.

There are two days left before Li Xuemei gets married, Tao Shuobai will pack the completed "Ocean Sea" and send it on the wedding day.

He went outside for a while, went to the pier as well, and asked the driver to drive directly to the stock exchange when he came back.In the original play, on the day of Tong Yuwan's wedding, Du Yuntang ran to the karaoke hall to stay out at night and met Li Shaofeng.Li Shaofeng wanted Du Yuntang to help him choose a stock, so he asked which stock to buy if the navy mutinied.Du Yuntang was very keen. After a quick analysis, he casually said "sack stocks", but Li Shaofeng didn't believe it.

After Li Shaofeng left, Du Yuntang bought his entire fortune in sack stocks.

The mutiny of the navy will block the port, and foreign warships will definitely interfere. At that time, only businessmen with the protection of their own warships can take this opportunity to make a fortune.Don't look at the trouble as inconspicuous, but you can't live without it at the pier. Those businessmen rely on sacks to make money.If there is a port crisis, and the businessman senses the direction of the wind, he will exchange big sacks for small sacks overnight and raise the price, and the stocks of sacks will naturally rise.

Tao Shuobai knows the plot, so he can start buying in advance, and he has the knowledge to cheat, when Shen Zhipei allocates the military salary to appease the navy, he can immediately sell the stock.This in and out, as long as the funds are strong, you will definitely earn a lot.

Because most of the money raised before was used in Wanju, he usually bought short stocks and slowly put up the funds in his hands.He didn't ask Tong's father, but privately borrowed [-] from Tong's mother, [-] from stock trading, and a little private house plus Wanju's working capital, so he got [-] in one place.

After entering the stock hall, compradors immediately greeted them.

He is a big family now, so it would be a lot of trouble to be led directly to the VIP room, and he also hinted to the comprador that even if someone asks, as long as his life is not endangered, his identity cannot be revealed.He was dressed in a men's suit, and his walking posture did not reveal a feminine feeling. He was covered by a hat and his face was modified, so no one had noticed him.

He told the comprador to buy a full warehouse of sack stocks. Although the comprador was surprised, he still complied.At this time, the purchase price of sack stocks is very low.

This time it was a coincidence that Du Yuntang was also there, seeing the background of Tao Shuobai's departure, he felt vaguely familiar.

"Stock, who do you think that person is? How do I feel that I have seen it somewhere?" Du Yuntang only guessed from the men he knew from the way he dressed, how could he have thought that "Tong Yuwan" would come to the stock market.

The stock is his follower, a magician whose brain is stronger than an abacus.I didn't recognize the stock, so I ran to the comprador to inquire, but there was no result.

Du Yuntang just asked casually, it's fine if he didn't ask.

Two days later, Li Xuemei got married, and Tao Shuobai went to see her off.

Afterwards, his consciousness shrouded the General's Mansion, and he saw a play.

Xu Haonan, the quartermaster under Shen Zhipei, planned to assassinate Shen Zhipei today. As the bride's brother, Li Shaofeng was drunk by them. He seemed drunk, but he was not.Li Shaofeng heard Xu Haonan whispering to others, and stopped Xu Haonan, because he knew that Shen Zhipei was on guard, and he had other plans to save Xu Haonan.

Shen Zhipei killed several assassins, thinking that the matter was over, and when he heard about the mutiny of the navy, he ordered funds to be allocated to the navy to pay the navy. In fact, the navy pay was not under his control, but Shanghai was under his jurisdiction. It will cause chaos in Shanghai, and he can't ignore it.

Although Shen Zhipei's order was issued, it will take time for the military pay to subside and the situation to subside, and there is at least a day or two of buffer in between.

Tao Shuobai set the timing right, when the military pay was shipped out, he would clear the warehouse immediately.

Once in and out, the funds doubled.

Tao Shuobai returned [-] yuan to Tong's mother, and bought a ruby ​​necklace as a gift.

"This necklace is so expensive, you and Er Niang are still seeing each other." Mother Tong said so, but the smile on her face couldn't be contained.Tong's mother was a little worried again: "Yuwan, you borrowed money before saying that you need it urgently, what are you doing?"

"I originally planned to discuss a business, but now I've changed my mind." Tao Shuobai didn't mention the stock market, because he didn't want her to worry, and he didn't want Tong's father to know that he invested all his hopes in the stock market.

"How's Wanju's business going?" Mother Tong asked.

"It's very stable. On weekends or holidays, the income is three to four times that of normal times." Normally, Wanju's business is not bad. The landlord wants to raise the price, but the standard clauses when signing the contract show that Tao Shuobai is not She is a bully, and the landlord knows she is the Tong family's daughter, so she can only suppress her greed.

Tong's mother now also accepts his love of doing business, but complains a lot about him always wearing men's clothing, saying that he is becoming less and less girlish.

Tao Shuobai is not a woman in the first place, and his habits and behaviors are different. If it weren't for this face, no one would think that he is a woman.Even so, most of the eyes drawn by walking on the street are women, especially female students. They will rush up to ask for his name, praise him for being prettier than men, and drag him into this club or that club. Declined.

After speculating on sack stocks once, Tao Shuobai speculated on real estate stocks and fruit tea stocks according to the plot prompt.

Shen Zhipei has always been worried about military pay, and in order to start the Pidgin Street development as soon as possible, Du Ruida and Mrs. Jin agreed to send a check to Shen Zhipei to support the military pay.Mrs. Jin gave 300 million and made a request, that is, to conceal the suspension of the development of Pidgin Street for three days.The reason Mrs. Jin did this was to use this time to make a fortune in the stock market, and Tao Shuobai naturally took advantage of this loophole.

But Du Yuntang didn't know. He only knew that Pidgin Street was going to be developed and real estate prices would increase. When he said it in front of the stock market hall, people flocked to buy real estate stocks.Li Shaofeng didn't listen to Du Yuntang's advice to buy sack stocks last time, so he couldn't help thinking about it. This time he was cruel and bought a full warehouse of real estate stocks.

It is conceivable that when real estate stocks suddenly plummeted, the stock hall was wailing.

Shareholders hated Du Yuntang, Li Shaofeng not only lost all his own money, but also lost his godfather Zhou Mingchang's money, thinking that Du Yuntang was lying to him, and hated Du Yuntang.As for Du Yuntang, although he is half of the gold stock real estate, but the real estate stock plummeted, he also suffered heavy losses, and he was dumbfounded.

"Master, let's go!" The stockholders were excited, and the stocks quickly pulled him out.

Just as Du Yuntang got into the car, he happened to see a person coming out. This time he saw the other person's face and was surprised: "Tong Yuwan? Why did she come here?"

"It's Miss Tong!" Stock was also surprised.

Tao Shuobai got into the car, and when he passed by, he nodded to Du Yuntang.

Unlike Du Yuntang, he kept an eye on Mrs. Jin and made a fortune in real estate stocks.Hmm... Maybe the real estate stocks he sold were madly sucked into by Du Yuntang.

Du Yuntang returned to Du's house dejectedly, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard his sister-in-law Li Xuezhu crying. After listening to one ear, it turned out that Du Yunwei and Li Xuezhu's dowry maid had gotten married. Du Yunwei wanted to take a concubine, but Li Xuezhu refused.Li Xuezhu originally wanted her mother-in-law to be the master, but her mother-in-law is a concubine of the Du family, and Aunt Cuilin must have turned to her son and ridiculed Li Xuezhu instead.

Ling Baozhu was watching the excitement in the second room, and seeing that Du Yuntang's expression was wrong, he asked, "Yuntang, what's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly."

"It's okay." Du Yuntang said embarrassedly, but he thought of the stock market failure and continued to save money.In the original drama, he has already married Tong Yuwan, so he can borrow Tong Yuwan's generous dowry, but now he doesn't have a wife to help him, so he avoids people, so he can only ask his own mother: "Mom, can you lend me some money?"

Ling Baozhu's complexion changed suddenly, and he looked towards the door: "Master..."

Du Yuntang secretly called it unlucky.

Sure enough, Du Ruida heard his words and sneered, "Why did you borrow money from your mother? What about your money? Was it all lost in the stock market? I told you long ago that stock trading is just speculation. Are you back? Take it easy for me, obediently go to work in the company tomorrow, earn money and spend it yourself, and the family won’t give you a penny!" Seeing that Yuntang was about to refute, Du Ruida would move out of Tong Yuwan to provoke him: "You Look at Tong Yuwan, when Wanju opened, you still made sarcastic remarks, but now who doesn’t know that there is a home furnishing store on Pidgin Street? Wanju’s business has always been good, and now they are preparing to open a branch store! Tong Yuwan is a woman Children can make their own careers, but you can't?"

Du Yuntang's complexion changed, and the dissatisfaction in his heart came up, but he refused to show weakness: "Tong Yuwan is so perfect? ​​She also speculates in stocks. I lost it, and maybe she lost it too. Can a branch be opened?" do not know yet."

"Just be stubborn!" Du Ruida sighed again and again.He has only two sons, the eldest son is confused, and the younger son is reckless, which makes him worry a lot.But relatively speaking, he is still optimistic about his younger son.This is not because Yun Tang is a direct descendant, but because Yun Tang is smart and talented, but he just refuses to take it easy.Originally, she wanted to marry Tong Yuwan in and take care of him, but who knew the marriage would not work out.

Du Ruida is now more and more satisfied with Tong Yuwan, but unfortunately, because Tong Yuwan is more outstanding, the marriage between the two families is more impossible.

Tao Shuobai is indeed preparing for the Wanju branch right now. The new store has already been leased, the decoration is almost completed, the publicity has been arranged, and two shop assistants have been recruited.

After finishing work at the branch, I returned to Tong's house and went directly to see Tong's father.

"Ama, what do you think about what I said earlier?" Tao Shuo cut to the point.

Before the Tong family repaid their debts, it was the Du family who helped them. Later, when Wanju started to make a profit, Tao Shuobai repaid the Du family with the money earned from the stock market, but he intentionally kept the other debts.Without foreign debts, Tong's father has no sense of urgency, let alone dispose of the factory.

That's right, he had seen all the accounts and shipment details of the factory before, and proposed to keep only one factory and sell the other two factories.Although the factory is losing money, if it is sold, the machines and land are quite valuable. Using this money to improve the equipment and management of the remaining factory, and to develop a new sales channel, should give the factory a second chance. .

As for the workers in those two factories, Tao Shuobai's opinion is that they all belong to another factory, and take advantage of this to expand the factory.Furthermore, with so many workers, laying off a small number of those who did not meet the standards and giving them some severance pay is considered a kind of appeasement.

Those workers may not be willing, the factory has been losing money, and the wages of the workers cannot be paid, so the workers are not in a hurry?

Tong's father frowned, reluctant to let go, and finally sighed: "Come on! I'll listen to you!"

Tao Shuobai's management of Wanju is good, Tong's father can see it, and Tao Shuobai's analysis is also reasonable.Tong's father was just reluctant to give up, but after hesitating for a while, he followed his suggestion.

Father Tong said: "I'll take care of the disposal of the factory, and you will handle the rest of the factory's reconstruction."

"Okay." Tao Shuobai didn't evade at all, nor did she show any timidity.

Tong's father looked at the person in front of him, and was very pleased: "It's still my Yuwan family who is upbeat and capable. I don't know how many people envy me for having a good daughter."

Tong's father was able to let go of such a major matter, he thought it was incredible, but now he especially trusts Tao Shuobai and is full of confidence in Tao Shuobai.Of course, Tong's father intends to let him show up publicly and escort him secretly. This is not only a rare exercise, but also a show off to outsiders.

So what if Tong Hongshi doesn't have a son?One of his daughters is worth ten sons of others!

Leaving Tong's father's study and returning to the bedroom, Tao Shuobai dug out the factory's original design drawings, thinking about how to expand, how much to expand, and how many machines to add.There are many factories in Shanghai, and cotton yarn textiles are very prosperous, but now there are many foreigners in Shanghai, especially the Japanese textile industry has also stationed in Shanghai. The dumping that occurred has a great impact on the local industry, and many factories have gone bankrupt.The other two factories of the Tong family have been losing money for this reason.

If Tong's father's feelings hadn't been taken into consideration, Tao Shuobai would definitely not have kept a factory. In addition to running Wanju, he might also set up a construction company.Pidgin Street is the only real estate left in Shanghai, but this is the development of a commercial street. Tong’s family can find another way to do it.

Shanghai has a large population and housing is difficult. They can develop apartment buildings or build dormitory buildings for factories.

The prospects in this regard are still very good.

Although the Tong family has no experience, the Li family has been doing this before. It was only because of the chaos in the current situation and the death of Master Li that many projects could not be paid for, and the Li family was defeated.Tong Yuwan and Li Xuemei are good friends and classmates. Even though Li Xuemei doesn't understand business matters, she has been influenced by her ears since she was a child, and there are some things she knows better than laymen.

"Miss, it's getting late, go to bed." Su Xi had already yelled several times.

"You go to sleep first." Tao Shuobai is not an ordinary person, even if he does not sleep for days, it will not affect him.

Su Xi now also knows that her young lady is very energetic and extraordinary, seeing what she said, she stopped trying to persuade her.

Tao Shuobai glanced inside, Tong Yuwan's soul was much better than before, it was because he consciously nourished it with spiritual power every day, after about a month or two, Tong Yuwan would be able to wake up.Although it cannot be fully recovered for a while, until then, it is still possible to be awake for an hour or two every day. The better the soul is stored, the longer the time to support the body until it is fully recovered.

Tao Shuobai decided to take over for another two months.

In the silent night, I suddenly heard slightly heavy footsteps.

Tao Shuobai turned his head and looked out the window, and saw Zhou Tingchen appearing, his face was very pale, his hands were covering his chest, his eyes were a little slack, and his breathing was heavy, which showed that he was seriously injured.

"What's going on?" Tao Shuobai hurriedly helped him in and lay on the bed, took off his leather jacket, only to see that the vest shirt inside was already bleeding.

"I was discovered in the south and was shot. When I came back, I was ambushed again. I didn't go back to Zhou's house, so I took a detour here." Zhou Tingchen's voice was very low, but Tao Shuobai could hear it clearly.

After taking off his clothes, he saw that he had been wounded by a gunshot wound on his chest and had been bandaged, but perhaps he had escaped the pursuit, and the wound was bleeding again, and his recovery was not very good.It's also considered his life, the bullet was hit in the heart, and he almost stayed in the south and couldn't come back.

Tao Shuobai gently covered the wound with his hand, only to see a dim light flickering, Zhou Tingchen felt the wound tingle, and when his hand was removed, there was no trace of the original gunshot wound, and the skin was intact as before.

Now Zhou Tingchen has lost a lot of blood, is exhausted and needs a good rest.

"I remembered something." Zhou Tingchen said suddenly.

Tao Shuobai didn't pay much attention: "What did you remember?"

"I saw a peach blossom forest. It should be in March and April, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. In the peach blossom forest, there is a man with long hair in white. He is smiling. That kind of smile is definitely the only one I have ever seen in my life. It seems to be in his With a smile, you have experienced the most beautiful things in the world, making people addicted and nostalgic... It's like a dream, and I called out his name in the dream: Tao Shuobai."

Tao Shuobai originally thought he was thinking of a certain life in reincarnation, but judging from this narration, it doesn't look like it.Judging from the description in his mouth, it is clear that he saw his smile and hit a peach blossom barrier, but it is not really impossible to break free.

Junshi is a person from the upper realm, not a mortal, so he is naturally resistant to peach blossom barriers.

If this analysis is true, it means that Junshi knew him long before reincarnation?

"Is there any more?" Tao Shuobai asked.

"I seemed to be looking down from the sky, clearly far away, but I could see the people in the peach forest clearly. In the dream, I seemed to be wearing a black robe. Then the scene changed, and I appeared in a I was painting your portrait in the ice-sculpted and jade-like fairy palace, and suddenly a little boy came out to report that 'Fairy Yuqiong' had visited... and then I woke up." Zhou Tingchen had this weird dream after he was injured in the south, At the beginning, I didn't take it seriously at all, after all, it was too inexplicable, it was like thinking wildly.

Tonight, he saw Tao Shuobai's unpredictable methods again, so he told this dream.

Tao Shuobai understood at this time, it turned out that Junshi's thoughts for him existed before reincarnation, and he couldn't blame himself for being so strange in the small world.Maybe this is a good thing. Although he couldn't recall the memory of the small world, he remembered the memory of the upper world, which meant that the seal was loose again.

only……

He suddenly became a little concerned about the person from the upper realm who originally planned for Tong Yuwan's physical body. Is it a coincidence or premeditated?
