no soul

"I heard that Boss Lin is going back to the south of the Yangtze River, so he came here to visit today." A tall, thin man in a brocade dress and jade robe stood behind three big men and smiled at Lin Hong. His eyes were filled with evil intentions, and his raised brows looked ruthless. ruthless.It was very different from the gentleness and politeness at the banquet that day, and her perverse nature was fully exposed.

Lin Hong raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Ma's visit is a bit unconventional."

"Heh! If you want to be unconventional, how can you compare with Boss Lin!" The smile on Ma Yumo's face became bitter, "Come to Shuixiang to open the land escort, receive the escort from Qidu, and have a big banquet. Who is in the Jiangnan business district now? People don't know you?"

Lin Hong looked at him and didn't answer.

"Boss Lin, I admire your vision and courage in business, but you must know how to be flattering, and don't be arrogant and conceited." Ma Yumo's smile faded away.

His Lu Biao has been in business for some time. At first, relying on the reputation of the Ma family and the power of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, the halls were like a market.

His bodyguards were all Langli Baitiao transferred from Shui Dart. After all, Lu Dart lacked some experience and damaged several batches of goods.The client dared not speak out because of the face of the Ma family and the Chamber of Commerce, but secretly transferred to cooperate with the Changying Escort Bureau.Over time, the number of people in the Luma Escort gradually decreased.

The atmosphere of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is getting more and more filthy, which makes many people in the business circle secretly unhappy, but the authority of the Chamber of Commerce has been there for many years, and no one dares to put their emotions on the surface.However, Lin Hong slapped the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in front of many people in the business circle at the banquet that day. Such a disturbance emboldened the dissatisfied merchants. Words of disobedience to the Chamber of Commerce gradually spread around the world, and criticisms arose everywhere.

Although the status of the chamber of commerce could not be shaken for a while, it severely dampened the spirit of the chamber of commerce.

Ma Chengquan was upset, so he competed with his son, hating iron for being weak.Ma and Mo's business was not doing well, and they were always scolded by his father.Looking at Lin Hong's side again, Lu Biao's business is flourishing, relying on Qidu's good cards, many big bosses have reached cooperation with him behind the back of the chamber of commerce.Ma Yumo hated Lin Hong more and more. Hearing that Lin Hong had returned to the south of the Yangtze River yesterday, he felt that the bad breath could not be appeased by him!

Lin Hong seemed to have only heard the first half of his sentence, "Thank you for the compliment."

Ma and Mo choked, and laughed back in anger, "Boss Lin still doesn't know where he is now? Today I will put an end to your arrogance and let everyone see how bullying the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is!"

The five big men began to approach Lin Hong with fierce expressions.

Lin Hong took a glance, and these people seemed to be just ordinary thugs.

"Boss Lin is so confident that he doesn't even bring an attendant with him when he goes out." Ma Yumo stood behind and looked at Lin Hong with a sarcastic smile, "People always stumble when they think too highly of themselves."

As if responding to his words, a tall figure rolled down from the roof and landed firmly in front of Lin Hong, holding a knife in his chest, and yawned leisurely.

Tu Hongxue.

The five big men stopped immediately.Didn't it mean that Lin Hong was alone?this……

They had heard about who Tu Hongxue was.

Ma Yumo didn't expect a master to follow, he thought he was really a person, his back teeth were clenched, "Come on! Can you five beat him alone?"

"Hahahaha." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of loud laughter from the other side of the alley, with a teasing coldness.

A burly and sturdy figure came over, holding a jug of wine in his hand, "I just went to buy some wine, why did I come back and see that my boss was blocked in the alley by you?"

Zhao Ganglong's eyes widened with anger, full of murderous aura.

"Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is very disciplined when it comes to banditry." Cang Lang followed behind Zhao Ganglong, with a terrifying ghost tiger mask on his face.

It was impossible for the five of them to run away again.

The three of them didn't use any weapons, and threw the five big men to the ground with their bare hands.

Lin Hong was still standing where he was, not even changing his movements.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Ma and Mo turned around to run, but Zhao Ganglong grabbed his hair fiercely!

"Ah!" The pull made him throw his neck back and screamed out loud.

"You are bullying us, you are not small!" Zhao Ganglong glared at him like a King Kong.

Ma Yumo bent his knees, lowered his center of gravity to counteract the pain at the root of his hair, his legs were trembling unceasingly, and his mouth was still trying to be brave, "You guys are not victorious, sneak attack from behind!"

"Damn!" Zhao Ganglong's voice shook the mountains and rivers, "You look like a gentleman yourself!"

"Steel Dragon." Lin Hong hurriedly shouted, fearing that he would not be able to hold back.

Zhao Ganglong threw Ma and Mo to the ground, "Get lost! Hit them once!"

Ma Yumo gave Lin Hong a vicious look, then quickly got up and ran out of the alley.Five big men also limped to keep up with him.

"Five who dare to challenge us." Zhao Ganglong snorted coldly, holding the wine in his hand without any bumps.

"He probably picked me up when I was alone," Lin Hong said, "I didn't expect you to follow."

"This Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is too small." Cang Lang's voice was full of disgust.

"It should have come here without telling his father, the chamber of commerce would not do such a lowly thing." Lin Hong said, "This Mr. Ma can't hold his breath, and he can't do things with his head."

Tu Hongxue agreed.

“跟他留什么情！就该让我狠狠揍他一顿，长个记性！”赵钢龙气不打一处。

"It's not a bad thing, but he helped me—it's bad! We're going to be late!" Lin Hong suddenly remembered his dinner with the Moon Chaser.

Originally, it was estimated that the time to go out was on time, but after Ma and Mo made such a fuss, Lin Hong arrived at Xueyinhanlou a bit late.

This moon chaser can be regarded as his distinguished guest. Lin Hong has always been punctual, but today he feels a little uncomfortable.

He opened the door of the box, "Sorry, it's been a long time..."

After seeing clearly who was sitting in front of the table in the box, he immediately withdrew his foot to step in, and closed the door again!

Lin Yearnian: "..."

Lin Hong:.

grass!Why is my dad here? ?

Lin Hong stared at the number on the wooden sign on the box door, and confirmed countless times that he did not go wrong.

Lin Hong:? ? ?

moon chaser...

Lin year by year...

Chasing the moon and year by year.

The Moon Chaser is Lin Zhunian!

It's his father!

broken bad bad...

His father probably didn't know that the Changying Escort belonged to him, and Lin Hong was wondering whether to go downstairs and ask Tu Hongxue to meet Mr. Lin instead.

"Lin Hong. Come in." However, Lin Zhunian had already called him from the box.

Lin Hong was about to cry.

Help!

Lin Hong opened the door again, smiling cutely, "Ah, Dad, what a coincidence, you're here too."

"Yes, what a coincidence, Boss Lin." Lin Yue Nian took a sip of tea from a cup.

"Yeah, I'm coming..." Lin Hong swallowed "dinner with friends".

Boss Lin...

Lin Hong:.

Lin Hong endured it again and again, "A tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring!"

"..." Lin Zhunian's veins twitched, not to mention his inability to eat children now, he regretted killing him before he was in the womb! "sit down!"

Lin Hong slumped over and sat opposite him.

"The south is in turmoil. I don't know why you are running to the south all day long." Lin Yuenian put a piece of meat in his bowl, "Eat first."

Now all the dishes on the table are ready, just wait for Lin Hong to come.

Lin Hong felt that he couldn't taste the food when he was eating the rice, so he kept glancing at Lin Zhuinian with a guilty conscience.

"I rode away at night and drank alcohol. That night, your mother waited for you until late at night and sent people to find you along the road." Lin Zhuinian said.

Lin Hong was a little ashamed when he heard the words, "I was a little unconscious after drinking that night. It made my mother worry."

"Fortunately, you sent back a letter from the family, so your mother can feel at ease." Lin Zhuinian said.

Lin Zhunian kept talking about how worried Du Xiu was, but now it was Lin Zhunian who chased after Jiangnan to find Lin Hong.

Lin Hong looked at his father.

The facial features are deep and age-precipitated, and the figure is still tall and straight, which is not old enough, enough to glimpse the handsome demeanor of youth, but after all, he has passed the age of knowing his destiny, his temples are stained with star-white weather, and his face is left with scratches.

Lin Hong was thinking, if his father really wanted to cooperate with the Changying Escort, he would never use the pseudonym "Moon Chaser". Is there a better name in the business world than "Lin Zhunian"?And he still has to be so troublesome, every time he cooperates, he has to change someone.

So it was fake for Lin Zhunian to bet on the darts, but it was true that he was targeting himself - he had known for a long time that the Changying Escort belonged to him, Lin Hong.

Before that, Lin Yueyen used his real name to cooperate with Chang Ying once, and that time the goods were seized by the military by chance, but Lin Yueyen wanted to let Lin Hong go to lobby. , didn't think much about it.

Lin clearly knew everything every year, but he didn't stop him and cooperated with him many times. Thinking about it this way, maybe even the cooperation with his real name was actually helping him to make a name for himself.Let yourself lobby the military, but it seems to be saying: You can solve your own affairs by yourself.

Don't you have to make him an official?

Lin looked at him year by year, his eyes were full of weather-beaten wisdom, but also gentle and helpless, "Hong, you are like your mother, very stubborn, ten cows can't pull back what you decide."

Lin Hong is actually very well-behaved on weekdays, he never argues and resists too much over trivial matters, but as long as he mentions what to do in the future, he is unyielding.

"Your father was poor when he was a child, and he was always looked down upon by others, so he wanted to study, to be a high-ranking official, to be proud, to amaze everyone from all over the world—just to fight for it." Lin Zhunian said in a calm tone, "But this The ideal was not realized in the end, the family did not have this condition, and I resented my parents at the time, but later I realized that they had already given me everything they could."

Lin Hong looked at him and listened quietly.

"I went out to make a living when I was very young—younger than you are now. Your father is actually an arrogant person with strong self-esteem, but he was forced to do all kinds of dirty work for his livelihood." Lin Zhuinian said, "Later, I just found the way out of the businessman. People in the world look down on merchants, and people can’t escape the customs. I have a good name, so I shouldn’t have taken this road, but at that time there was no other way. At first, this road was really difficult.”

Year by year, Lin explained why he wanted Lin Hong to be an official rather than a businessman.

"Thinking about it now, if I really become an official, I will only amaze others for a while. From then on, my life will no longer have any relationship with them. How they live their lives will still be how they live, but my own life will completely change."

The boxes in the Xueyinhan Building are very luxurious, with a large map of mountains and rivers hanging on the wall, as if stretching the space of this small room to infinity.

"For the vanity of the moment, I have to bear it for the rest of my life." Lin looked at Lin Hong year by year, "It took me many years to really understand that life is really not just about money and fame, nor is it about living on the admiration of others inside."

"Now, I also have what I want, and I was lucky enough to meet your mother. Any worries will be gone as soon as I go home." Lin smiled every year, "All roads work."

"If you don't want to be an official, then forget it. If you want to do it, just let it go. Life can be satisfying." Lin Zhuinian said.

Lin Hong's eyes widened, and his heart speeded up due to nervousness.

"I've watched you grow up for more than a year." Lin raised his eyebrows year by year, "Do you really think you can hide the truth? ——But when I found out, you have already started to make a profit, and you are better than Dad back then."

Lin Hong touched his neck, "How did you find out...?"

"I was so busy that month that I was dizzy. It was only after your mother reminded me that I didn't give you pocket money, but it was already the end of the month. How could you stay calm and not ask me for it?"

"This... I didn't spend too much." Lin Hong defended.

Lin Yue Nian waved his hand to show that you knew it well, "I find it strange, I found out your little tricks after a little investigation."

The world's business network is intricate, and he, Lin, has a lot of ways to know about Lin Hong every year, even though Lin Hong is already very careful.

Lin Zhunian touched his chin, "I didn't expose you, I just wanted to see if you would change your mind if you hit a wall in the end. Who would have thought that you would be successful instead." Lin Zhunian smiled.

"A few months ago, when you said you were going to Jiangnan, I guessed that you were going to do business in Jiangnan. The business district in Jiangnan was full of smog and it was difficult to do business. I wrote a letter to your brother and asked him to help you. I don't know if he helped."

Lin Hong was stunned, so he quarreled with Lin Yue Yue before, and it didn't take long for him to help him build the bodyguard bureau, because Mr. Lin wrote him a letter.

Lin is helping him year after year!

Lin Hong's nose was sore.What his father said about "look at him hitting a wall" is actually not because he often uses the name "Moon Chaser" to take care of his business.

"I also heard from your brother about the matter between you and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce." Lin Zhunian said, "You have done a good job."

The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce knew that Lin Yue was the son of Lin Zhuinian, so they didn't make things difficult for him, and the two lived in peace.But Lin Hong didn't borrow his father's name. From the Chamber of Commerce's point of view, this overconfident businessman "from a small town" needs to be taught a lesson.

Lin Yue only found out about that Hongmen Banquet later.

"Hong, now I can be alone." Lin sighed year by year.

Lin Hong felt like a dream, so his father supported him. From then on, he could run his bodyguard agency in a fair and honest manner.

"Do it well." Lin Zhunian said, "I can only accompany you for half of your life. It's up to you to decide what you want to live like."

"Don't say that, it sounds uncomfortable." Lin Hong sniffed.

"While Dad still has the ability, I must help you." Lin Zhuinian said, "You can take the dock in Jiangnan."

Lin Hong was stunned, "What do I want the pier for? I'm a land escort—no, why is the pier in the south of the Yangtze River also yours?"

Lin Zhunian's family fortune is as unfathomable as the sea, and Lin Hong really doesn't know what he has in his hands.

"The water darts in the south of the Yangtze River all pass through that pier. The pier belongs to you. Why don't the Chamber of Commerce behave properly?" Lin Yiyian took a sip of tea.

Lin Hong's expression was blank for a moment.

His biggest obstacle on the Jiangnan side is the suppression of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. Although many businessmen would rather go against the Chamber of Commerce and cooperate with him, at the same time, there are also many merchants who want to cooperate with him but are hindered by the authority of the Chamber of Commerce. Actions, with the means of the chamber of commerce, can indeed make some small businesses close down.

If the chamber of commerce is settled.It is estimated that Lin Hong's escort agency can even break through the threshold.

Moreover, all the ships going to and from the wharf have to pay fees, and they only need to pay taxes to the court every month.The money earned is absolutely sky-high.

"This pier can't be given to you for nothing," Lin said, putting down his glass year by year, "You have to give me a free bet on darts."

Lin Hong smiled, "Bet, bet every day, and bet for a lifetime."
