Chapter 681 0679【I Treat You as a Brother, but You Treat Me as a Gunman! ] (4000 Word Chapter)

"A guest! Go forward and salute! Bow once! Bow again! Bow three times! Family members return the salute!"

The funeral home in Hong Kong is very lively today, with bursts of firecrackers, and wreaths lined up from the intersection to both sides of the funeral home auditorium.

In addition, the parking lot 100 meters away from the funeral home is full of all kinds of luxury cars.

Hong Kong Funeral Parlor, commonly known as "Hong Kong Hotel", is the only funeral parlor on Hong Kong Island, located at the junction of King's Road and Java Road in North Point.

Its history began in the 1930s. Like the Kowloon Funeral Parlor in Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon, it is managed by Xiao Ming, who is known as the funeral king, and his family.

At first, it only operated in a simple bamboo shed built on Wanchai Road. It was not moved to the current location until 1964, and the newly built Hong Kong Funeral Parlor in North Point continued to operate.

Funeral parlors in Hong Kong charge more, but the transportation is convenient, and many celebrities and rich people live in Hong Kong Island, so they become the first choice for funerals of celebrities and rich people in the city.

Today is the condolence activity of Mrs. Xu of the Xu family. The entire first and second floors of the funeral parlor are taken over by the Xu family. The mourning hall for condolences is even more luxuriously arranged. Among the black and white photos of Mrs. Xu, there is a banner on it: Xu Weng is eternal, his voice and appearance Still here!

Xu Shijian, the eldest young master of the Xu family, Xu Shiwen, the second young master, and Xu Shixun, the third young master, all knelt on the left side of the mourning hall in sackcloth and filial piety, and on the right side were the female family members of the Xu family.

"Mr. Saipan, General Manager of Standard Chartered Bank, is here!"

"I am sorry for your loss!"

"Thanks!"

"Chairman Liao Wenlei, Chairman of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, is here!"

"Xu Wengxian passed away, we are deeply saddened!"

"Thank you, Chairman Liao has a heart!"

"Hong Kong Chow Tai Fook President Zheng Yutong Zheng is here!"

"Uncle Xu passed away, I am very sad, and I hope everyone's condolences will change!"

"Thank you Brother Zheng, please sit down over there!"

As a celebrity in Hong Kong, Mrs. Xu had a lot of friends during his lifetime. Basically, people from all major families in Hong Kong sent people to express their condolences. In addition, some Hong Kong government officials also came to greet Xu's family, which seemed extremely grand.

Of course, apart from these rich and powerful families and dignitaries, some civilians and refugees rescued by Mr. Xu even spontaneously prepared condolence gifts this time. They couldn’t afford firecrackers, so they could only buy some yellow Paper, brought the most precious old hen and the most precious steamed buns.

"Old Master Xu helped me before he was alive, and my daughter's illness was cured by his donation!"

A dark-skinned, honest-looking man hesitated to enter the mourning hall, handed a chicken and a bag of steamed buns to the guardian, and boldly told the Xu family members.

"In addition, Mrs. Xu has also helped many people in our slums. This time, on behalf of everyone, I brought something to mourn his old man!"

After finishing speaking, the man knelt down on the futon with a plop, facing the portrait of Mrs. Xu, thump, thump, thump! Knocked his head hard three times.

Such a down-to-earth kowtow made other people feel moved.

The dead are the greatest!

Although Xu Shijian and Xu Shiwen didn't care much about guests of this class, Xu Shixun was very grateful and took the initiative to invite the honest man to sit down and prepare thin tea for him to drink.

This time, due to the large number of condolences, the areas for entertaining guests were not dispersed according to class as before.

The simple and honest man looked at the big men, but he didn't dare to go over and sit down.

However, Xu Shixun placed the hen and steamed buns he brought in front of the mourning hall, and said to the man, "Sit down, you are qualified! My father, Quanxia Youzhi, will be very happy to see you come to express condolences!"

Only then did the man have the courage to sit down among the group of dignitaries and wealthy tycoons.

He's shabby and shabby and out of tune with the gang!

Especially those next to him, smelling the smell of sweat from his body, they all moved away. Some female guests even covered their mouths and noses in disgust, wondering how the Xu family let everyone get involved.

The simple and honest man was a little embarrassed, and wiped his forehead and cheeks with his sleeve. The temperature in the mourning hall was not high, but he felt hot all over.

A servant came to pour tea for him, and he quickly picked it up with both hands, because he was too nervous, the tea almost splashed out after it was poured!

...

At this time——

The master of ceremonies shouted: "Mr. Shi Zhijian, President of Hong Kong Shinhwa Company, send a wreath and a couplet!"

Shi Zhijian asked Chen Huimin and Dasha to arrange the offerings of condolence, and here he knelt on the futon according to the rules, kowtowed to the portrait of Mrs. Xu with clasped hands, and then bowed to the family members of the Xu family.

Shi Zhijian is relatively close to the Xu family, especially with the third young master Xu Shixun.

Xu Shixun took the initiative to stand up and greet Shi Zhijian, asking him to sit down in the rest area next to him first, and he will come back later!

Shi Zhijian nodded, and glanced at the leisure area, there were many people he knew, such as Chairman Liao, Zheng Yutong, and Saipan, etc., but those important figures were surrounded by people at the moment.

Although this is a condolence event, it is also an opportunity to make contacts, and of course some interested people will not miss it.

In contrast, only the simple and honest man was more spacious, so Shi Zhijian walked over and asked the man, "Excuse me, can I sit down?"

The simple and honest man was nervously sipping his tea. Shi Zhijian might as well talk to him. He was so startled that the tea in his hand splashed out again, and he got up quickly and said, "Yes! Yes! There is no one here!"

Shi Zhijian smiled, and sat down next to the simple and honest man, and the rich and famous people next to him cast various looks, some were puzzled, some contemptuous, and some sneered.

The servant came over and poured Shi Zhijian a cup of tea. Shi Zhijian drank the tea and asked the simple and honest man, "Dare you ask your name?"

"Miangui, my name is Tang Tieniu!" The simple and honest man looked at Shi Zhijian drinking tea, wondering why he was so elegant, but he couldn't learn it.

"Oh, Brother Tieniu!"

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be!" Tang Tieniu looked at the foolish man, but he was not stupid. Shi Zhijian was incomparable to him no matter in his attire or demeanor. Even in Tang Tieniu's view, even the rich men next to him couldn't compare to Shi Zhijian. In short, Shi Zhijian feels very tall!

"What kind of business does Big Brother Tieniu do?"

"Huh? I'm working for others, at the pier!"

"Really, I also have a lot of friends looking for food at the pier! But I don't know which pier you are at?"

"Wharf!" Tang Tieniu hurriedly sipped his tea, feeling nervous talking to Shi Zhijian for some reason.

"Wharf?" Shi Zhijian's eyes flashed.

"Yeah, my brother and I, as well as many people from the slums, are hunting for food in Wharf!"

"The recent general strike in Wharf..."

"Ah, what are you talking about! Someone sent us money and said he would fight for our interests!" Tang Tieniu sipped his tea, wondering if it was because of nervousness that he poured out all his words.

"Where did our poor people encounter such a good thing, of course we obeyed! He told us to parade, and we will parade! After the parade, we will give out bento - yesterday's bento had roast goose legs, it was delicious!"

Tang Tieniu licked his thick lips as if thinking of the deliciousness of roasted goose legs.

"It's a pity that such a bento was only given out once! I gave it to my daughter, and I sucked the leftover bones for her to eat. It tastes really delicious!"

Shi Zhijian didn't have time to pay attention to Tang Tieniu's nostalgia for the roast goose leg, and continued to ask: "Who will support you behind?"

"Oh, it's a gang! Their boss is called—" Tang Tieniu scratched his head, his eyes lit up, "That's right! We all call him 'Brother Hua'! His nickname is also very sharp, 'Cobra'!"

Just when Shi Zhijian wanted to continue inquiring about news from Wharf, someone suddenly called him, "Ajian, here!"

Shi Zhijian followed the prestige, but saw First Young Master Huo Zhenting standing with Third Young Master Xu and waving at him.

Shi Zhijian smiled at Tang Tieniu: "I'm sorry, my friend calls me!"

Tang Tieniu hurriedly said: "It's okay! You are busy with your work!"

Shi Zhijian then pointed to the "return gift" prepared by the Xu family not far away for the mourning guests and said: "Brother Tieniu, those things are the condolence return gifts prepared by the Xu family, and you can get as much as you represent on behalf of the families! do not mention it!"

"Huh?" Tang Tieniu looked at the sticks of Marlboro cigarettes not far away, as well as the exquisite gift bag, which contained cash, at least 300 yuan!

Tang Tieniu was thinking about whether to take it, but he didn't dare to take it. He just brought a chicken, a bag of steamed buns, and a stack of yellow paper, not to mention the small gift bag of 300 yuan, just the Marlboro He can't afford it all!

...

"Ajian, I'll introduce a friend to you later!"

In a remote place, Xu Shixun was smoking a cigarette in his mouth, looking tired and depressed, his eyes were bloodshot from staying up late.

Young Master Huo was also smoking a cigarette beside him and said, "This friend is very ruthless! You'll know when you see him later!"

Shi Zhijian looked curious, and was about to ask what charades the two were playing, when Xu Sanshao said, "He's here!"

Shi Zhijian hurriedly looked around, but saw a tall ghost walking towards them.

"Mr. Su, this is the young hero Shi Zhijian you've always wanted to meet!" Xu Shixun introduced.

Shi Zhijian smiled, no matter how miserable these three young masters were, they still couldn't get rid of their cynical style.

I'm still the young hero Fang Shiyu!

"It's really extraordinary! Su has long admired his name!" The son-in-law of Hong Kong's four major shipping tycoons Bao Yugang, Austrian Su Diwen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Shi Zhijian.

"I heard from the third young master earlier, and young master Huo talked about you. You started from scratch, founded the Shinhwa Group, managed food, entertainment, and real estate! It is said that the current electronics industry is booming! I'm afraid it will be Hong Kong's The business will be done by you!"

Shi Zhijian didn't expect that the person Xu Shao wanted to introduce to him turned out to be the foreign son-in-law of the charter king. He saw the typical appearance of a ghost, his hair was combed meticulously with pomade, he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and there was a corsage on his left chest. Western style.

In the previous life, Su Diwen also had two talents, especially in expanding the Bao family from a single shipping industry to other territories, and finally made Bao family the top four shipping kings. It can be said that he has contributed a lot.

Shi Zhijian shook hands with Su Diwen and smiled: "Mr. Su, thank you! The business industry is very deep, and I have just started!"

"You're welcome! Although I'm an Austrian, I like Chinese culture very much. Just call me Ah Wen!"

"Yeah, we all call him Brother Zuo Wen!" Xu Shao and Huo Shao said together.

It seems that these three families usually have a good relationship.

Su Diwen remembered the words of his old father-in-law, the Chartered Ship King, to take the initiative to make friends with Shi Zhijian, and then send him "on the battlefield" to compete with Na Li Zhaotian as a pawn of the three major families!

What kind of person is Shi Zhijian? He has always been cautious in doing things. Seeing that this ghost Su Diwen has a relationship with him as soon as he meets him, he knows that there is a willingness behind it.

He didn't point it out, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will dare to call Brother Wen! But I don't know what advice Brother Wen has?"

Hearing this, Su Diwen couldn't help but take a deep look at Shi Zhijian. This boy is really extraordinary, and he touched my veins with just a few simple words.

"Hehe, Ah Jian is really sharp! In fact, this time I took the initiative to befriend you because I have something to ask for!"

Since everyone is smart, there is no need to play charades and go around in circles!

Su Diwen felt that he had to show some sincerity.

"I would like to hear the details!" Shi Zhijian took out a cigarette and knocked out a few and handed it over.

Su Diwen was waving his hands that he didn't want to smoke, but he thought of doing as the Romans do. Chinese people like to give up cigarettes and use cigarettes as bridges, but Westerners don't like this practice very much.

So Su Diwen took the cigarette again, but instead of biting it, he kneaded it in his hand.

Shi Zhijian lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes and took a puff, then looked up at Su Diwen through the smoke.

Su Diwen organized his thoughts, tapped his forehead with his fingers, and said, "The thing is like this, I don't know Ajian, do you know about the recent strike at the Kowloon Wharf in Hong Kong?"

Of course Shi Zhijian knew about it, and he had just inquired about some news from Tang Tieniu, but at this moment he pretended to be confused and said, "I really didn't pay much attention to this matter! You know, I was dealing with some... huh, Don't say anything!"

Shi Zhijian's words were seven parts false and three parts true.

Many people know the story of how he helped Lei Luoza get into office and brought down Chen Zhichao and Charles.

As for whether he knew about the Kowloon strike, then the wise see the wisdom, and the benevolent see benevolence!

"There are so many reports in the newspaper, how come you don't know about it?" Xu Sanshao, who knew Shi Zhijian well, interjected.

Seeing that Su Diwen and Huo Dashao were all looking at him, Xu Sanshao pointed to Shi Zhijian and said, "I'm telling the truth! Ah Jian has always watched all directions and listened to all directions, and he can't hide anything from him! Don't say that there is a strike in Kowloon , maybe he already knows who is playing tricks behind the scenes!"

Xu Sanshao dissected Shi Zhijian in just one sentence!

What a good brother!

"Hehe, Third Young Master really praised me! I'm a young man with limited energy, and most of the time I don't have time to take care of other things!" Shi Zhijian flicked the cigarette ash, smiling broadly.

Who is Su Diwen, he immediately understood that Shi Zhijian was clearly unwilling to intervene in this matter.

Thinking about it, too, Shi Zhijian has been in the limelight recently, no matter whether it is black or white, it is his legend.

Muxiu in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

It's better to keep a low profile!

But what Shi Zhijian thought was——

I treat you like a brother, and you treat me like a gunman!
