Yun Lian

Chapter 4

Yun Lian leaned lazily in the back seat of the car, resting his chin on one hand and looking out the window.

The streets in the north are much wider than those in the south, and the streets are straight and smooth.In the early morning, there were not many people on the street, which made Yun Lian, who was used to seeing the chaotic and noisy alleys of Shanghai all day long, a little bored.

He arrived in Shenyang at the beginning of this month. He has been here for less than half a month.

Those warehouses in the northern urban area were temporarily bought by him last year to transport western medicine to Manchuria.It’s not easy to buy and sell medicinal materials these days. Yun Lian is doing well in Shanghai, too lazy to worry about the tepid business in the north. After handing over the store to his subordinates, he no longer cares about it. I got the news that the warehouse was seized by the Japanese.

Running around here and there to get through the relationship, Yun Lian was already exhausted, and it was only on the sixth day that he found time to invite Chen Chaosheng to meet him at the new house.

The house that Lian Renjun arranged for him was very good, although it was not as grand as Lu Chengzhang's French house, but it had all the furniture and facilities.Because there are occasional guests staying in the living room on weekdays, some flowers and plants are also arranged in the living room. In Yunlian's words, it is "very crowded".In such a smoky place, two people from the south were immersed in discussing future plans for business expansion.

Chen Chaosheng's father worked in Fengtian Customs when he was young, and because he caught up with the booming shipping industry, he bought a few new steamships early, and soon established a steamship company in Fengtian, operating shipping between Shanghai, Tianjin and other places .It's a pity that the relationship between the two young masters of the Chen family was at odds, and after the old man's death, they even competed openly and secretly for beauty and robbed the family property.After all, Chen Chaosheng was young, weak and defeated, and was driven to Shanghai, where business was the most deserted, to support himself.Fortunately, he can bear hardships, and his mind is also considered to be brilliant. After several years of struggling, not only did he not lose his money, but he also made his business flourish.

Two months ago, the eldest brother of the Chen family suddenly fell ill and died. There are rumors that he was revenged for offending the Nanman Railway Company.At this juncture, if he can establish a good relationship with the Japanese and take over the company and ships safely, Chen Chaosheng can truly become the leader of coastal shipping.The only worry right now is that the people in the company don't buy into him, and the Japanese are not good at speaking.

Chen Chaosheng is very guilty about all things that may involve force and games, and he really hopes that someone can help him at this time.Yun Lian saw that this was a fat job, so he was willing to work for him.As long as Chen Chaosheng can get through this hurdle, needless to say, the shipping company's oil and water, it will be much more convenient to do transshipment and export business between the north and the south in the future.As for fighting and escorting goods, that was his housekeeping skill.

In addition, after experiencing such an experience, he also saw some ways-the three eastern provinces are now dominated by the Japanese, and no matter how many other ways there are, they can't match the gendarmerie's words.

After tossing like this for half a month, Yun Lian suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Lian Renjun yet, and hurriedly ordered Ah Shen to send him to Lianfu early the next morning.

The car stopped in front of a two-story European-style house with a single courtyard.

Just as Yun Lian was about to open the door to get out of the car, two doormen trotted forward and pulled open the iron gate, and Ah Shen then drove the car into the courtyard.

There were two men in long coats standing in front of the gate on the first floor. When they saw the car approaching, they stepped down the steps to meet them.Yun Lian recognized one of them as the housekeeper Qian Luchang, and the other was about 35 years old, with a vigorous back and a slightly fat face, but he couldn't hide his bookish air.

Yun Lian stepped out of the car, turned back and told Ah Shen, "Go to Xiaojin's side and help, and come back to pick me up in two hours."

As soon as he turned around and closed the car door, the two of them were already in front of him.

Qian Luchang stretched out his arm towards Yunlian and made a gesture: "This is Yunlian, Boss Yun."

Yun Lian had already guessed that the middle-aged man beside him was Lian Renjun, and now he grinned and showed an extremely friendly smile, waiting for the man to report his name and greet each other.

However, after waiting for a long time, the man didn't speak, he just stared at him intently, and finally said softly: "Hey, brother, I didn't expect you to... look like this."

Yun Lian was still smiling, but his heart was silently wrinkled into a lump—then what else could I look like?

After Lian Renjun finished speaking, he looked at Yun Lian for a few seconds, and then he suddenly smiled twice as if he came back to his senses: "Come on, let's talk in the room!"

Unexplainably, Yun Lian followed the two up the steps. Lian Renjun walked on the left, and naturally put an arm around his back to wrap him around him.

Yun Lian had never walked side by side with someone so intimately in his life, and now he felt a warm palm on his vest, and slowed down uncomfortably.However, Lian Renjun still strode forward self-servingly, as if he was in a hurry to send someone into the house, he pushed Yun Lian into the entrance in small steps.

As soon as Ah Shen turned the car around and left the yard, he saw his boss being shoved into the house from the side mirror, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This will make people who don't know see him think he was kidnapped.

Yun Lian walked through the living room and was brought to the sofa before he had time to observe the surrounding environment.

"Sit." Lian Renjun made a gesture of invitation.

Yun Lian sat down unceremoniously, but the sofa was too soft and instantly swallowed him whole.

Sitting up straight in a hurry, he glanced awkwardly at Lian Renjun, and found that the other party was staring at him again with a thoughtful expression.

Yun Lian was almost driven mad by the staring with no clear meaning, and he only hoped that someone around could say a few words, whether it be Qian Luchang or the servant, he could say something casually to break the suffocating silence.

Fortunately, Lian Renjun quickly came back to his senses and said, "Are you still used to living in Zhongjie?"

"Good."

"I heard from Steward Qian that you are very busy these days."

"Just arrived, it will be fine after a while."

"Thanks a lot."

When Lian Renjun smiled, there were deep creases at the corners of his eyes, and he looked benevolent.

"I used to think that you would be... how should I put it, a very mature person. I didn't expect you to be just a child." He said to himself, "Oh, yes, you were only in your early twenties ..."

Yun Lian could hardly stop laughing.

Although he has a small frame, he is not short, and he even wore a suit in spite of the severe cold today.

Speaking of which, this suit was sent by Lu Chengzhang from Shanghai two days ago. He said that he had someone tailor it according to his size. evaluate.

"By the way, this is the milk candy my friend brought back from the United States. It tastes very good. You can try it." Lian Renjun said, took a cylindrical tin can from the tea table beside him and handed it to Yun Lian.

"I don't like sweets."

"Made of pure milk, not sweet."

Yun Lian had no choice but to open the jar, took out a square candy wrapped in paper, and hesitated to peel it off.

He originally expected that Lian Renjun would ask a lot of questions about Yunrong, or his own business in Shanghai, and he had even figured out what tone and demeanor he would use to respond, but the other party didn't ask any questions.

Yun Lian has always been very good at dealing with insidious characters who hide their swords in their smiles and have words in their words, but he doesn't know how to deal with this kind of harmless but confusing behavior of a man.

There is a saying that "an older brother is like a father". As the eldest son of Lian Renjun, he is nine years older than the second son. He took on the responsibility of supporting the family business and taking care of his younger brother very early on.Now when I meet Yun Lian for the first time, and seeing that he is quite different from what I imagined, with the innocent appearance of a young student, it is inevitable that some kindness will be hidden in his eyes.

It's a pity that Yun Lian had no father and no elder brother to rely on since he was a child, so he couldn't understand this kind of "fatherly love" feeling, and he just felt baffled at the moment.

There was another awkward silence in the living room.Yun Lian had nothing to do, so he peeled off the toffee in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it twice, he unexpectedly found that it was indeed not very sweet.

At this time, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance, and after a while of footsteps, someone entered the living room.

Yun Lian turned his back to the porch and ignored the visitor.

He was still chewing hard on the milk sugar in his mouth - he was not used to holding things in his mouth, and he wanted to crush the food as soon as it entered his mouth.

Lian Renjun on the opposite side of the sofa raised his arm and waved: "Second brother, this way!"

"Mr. Yun is here, wait, I'll go wash my hands first."

A mellow baritone sounded behind him, as thick and silky as milk sugar melting in his mouth.

Yun Lian couldn't help turning his head to take a look, and seeing a tall man in a light gray suit, he nodded indiscriminately and then turned around.

After seeing Yunlian's face, the man suddenly stopped going to the bathroom, and walked straight to the sofa.

"Who? Lian Renjun?" Yun Lian asked.

Lian Renjun let out a "hmm" and his eyes stayed behind the top of his head.

Only then did Yun Lian realize that the person had come behind him.

The moment he turned his head, Lian Renjun's hand fell on his right shoulder, with such force that it almost pushed him into the sofa.

"why you!?"
