Chapter 338 Night and Boat
Chapter 338 Night and Boat (Happy Birthday to Ji Jue of the Silver Alliance)
Ten o’clock, East Port of Yacheng.
When Ji Jue arrived at the entrance, he saw a car that had been waiting there for a long time. It was a very familiar model, Cucumber.
There was someone yawning lazily on the flat seat in the car.
“Senior?”
Ji Jue poked his head out of the car window and asked, “Why are you here?”
“It would be strange if I just happened to pass by.”
Ye Chun raised his hand through the two car windows and threw a round object over, “My aunt asked me to give it to you. I’ll lend it to you for a while.”
As the ghost work started, a familiar greeting came to my ears.
“Thank you teacher.”
Ji Jue accepted it without hesitation and put it in his pocket. Seeing Ye Chun’s expression of “what’s next?”, he couldn’t help but smile: “Thank you too, senior sister.”
“Senior, I’m not done with your kindness yet. You have to remember that. Do you understand?”
Ye Chun waved his hand lazily, “Okay, I’m going home. If I stay up any later, my hair will fall out again. A boss like this who asks people to work overtime every day will be hit by a car sooner or later.”
So far away.
Ji Jue tossed the ghost craft in his hand and hung it on the keychain again.
[Alright, kid, no matter how big the problem is, I’ll protect you! ]
“Brother Ball is awesome, thank you for your help!”
Ji Jue smiled and continued driving forward. From a distance, he saw the person leading the way. After confirming his identity, he took him directly to the berth in the port area.
A dark and silent cargo ship, fully loaded with containers, but there were few crew members outside. Only people with bulging clothes were patrolling around.
On the deck, someone was holding a telescope and saw Ji Jue from a distance. He turned around and said, “Tell Brother Ling that the man named Ji is here.”
Before that, someone had already come to greet them.
However, there are people who are faster than them.
Ji Jue had just gotten off the car when he saw a familiar yellow-haired guy jumping up and waving at him at the boarding area: “Brother Ji?! Long time no see!”
“It’s been a long time indeed.”
Ji Jue nodded: “Where did Brother Jinmao make his fortune recently?”
“Hey, I’m just running errands for the boss.”
The golden retriever smiled warmly and waved in front: “The boss asked me to lead the way for you. It’s just ahead.”
He glanced at the person who was walking up and whispered, “However, that foreign guy from Lingzhou may have bad intentions. Brother Ji, you must be careful not to fall into his trap.”
“Thank you for reminding.”
Ji Jue followed Huangmao and was not stopped after getting on the boat. He went straight in.
But unlike what it looked ordinary and old from the outside, after turning left and right, they actually pushed the door and entered the cargo area where containers were originally piled up.
The interior is brightly lit, the space is incredibly large, the decorations are elegant, and under the reflection of the crystal chandeliers, everything seems to be intoxicated in luxury.
A sweet aroma wafts through the air.
In the endless hall in front of me, there were actually many passengers, and even grass-green gambling tables, dealers and attendants.
“This is a gambling ship from the Thousand Islands that came to the Federation to make money. Damn it, these bastards can make countless billions every year with just a few ships.”
The golden-haired man introduced it in a low voice, mixed with curses and resentment, and even visible jealousy.
“If the movie opens this time, I will take the lead with my brothers to seize this boat. Then the boss can just give me a few tables and I will be very successful!”
“Just follow your boss and do your job well.” Ji Jue shook his head: “With your boss’s trust in you, what do these tables mean to you?”
To be fair, Chen Xingzhou must have vigorously trained a backbone like Jinmao who had proven his loyalty and ability. Unfortunately, Jinmao was good in everything except brains, otherwise he would have been released to do a job long ago.
Hearing this, the golden retriever grinned: “That’s right, the boss trusts me the most!”
Ji Jue patted his shoulder to show his approval and reminder.
Not far away, someone looked over coldly.
“Please follow me, Mr. Ji.” The foreman came up with a smile on his face: “The guests are here and are waiting for you upstairs.”
The upstairs is an independent area, but it looks more like a VIP area that is even more luxurious than the one downstairs.
At this moment, there was no gambler.
It’s already full of people.
Including Chen Xingzhou who had already arrived, and even beside him, a group of people Ji Jue had seen or had not seen before, most of them were old, both men and women, everyone sat with an expressionless face, like clay sculptures or wooden figures, and they didn’t even have a private conversation.
After walking in, even Jinmao didn’t dare to be presumptuous. He subconsciously lowered his breathing and followed behind Chen Xingzhou.
What surprised Ji Jue even more was that, as the host of the first wine party, Chen Xingzhou did not sit in the main seat!
Right in the middle of the long table, at the main seat, was an ordinary-looking white plastic chair.
The design can be seen everywhere. The classic shape that swept the world in the last century has become ubiquitous due to its excellent design, experience and cost.
Even the food stalls where you eat midnight snacks have them all.
But now, no one dares to sit on it.
He didn’t even dare to raise his head to look twice, but sat in silence with his eyes lowered.
In response to Ji Jue’s arrival, Chen Xingzhou simply nodded slightly and greeted him, then looked away.
After Ji Jue sat down in another place, exaggerated laughter was heard from outside the door.
There was a hint of perfunctoriness and indifference, and he was even unwilling to put in more effort in his acting.
“Oh, sorry, sorry, I’m late. I’m busy. Please don’t be offended.”
A blond mixed-race man pushed open the door and walked out. He was not old, not even thirty years old, but wherever he passed, everyone bowed their heads obediently and greeted him respectfully. “Good evening, Mr. Ling.”
But even someone as arrogant as Ling Zhou, after walking in and seeing the empty chair, he lowered his voice unconsciously, and a hint of gloom emerged in his smile.
“This is incredible, Uncle Chen, they even took out the leader’s seat.” He stopped in front of the plastic chair and asked across the chair, “We’re just having a drink and making friends, do you have to be so exaggerated?”
“Since we’re going to talk, we have to be serious, right?”
Chen Xingzhou smiled slightly, “This matter involves Yacheng and Huigang, two wild collections. It would be safer to have the leader as a witness. I’m worried that it’s not formal enough.”
“As expected of a leader, you are always experienced and thorough in doing things.” Ling Zhou looked at him for a long time, “I’ve learned a lot.”
Chen Xingzhou nodded: “Don’t worry about us old guys. If you young people are willing to give us face and come to talk, I will leave it to you next.”
Ling Zhou’s smile remained, but it was a lot dirtier.
You don’t care?
You even took the top spot, and you tell me not to care?
Look at the people sitting here. All the senior people in Haizhou are invited, as well as those from the nearby Thousand Islands area… You called a bunch of old guys here to put pressure on me, right?
“Is this Mr. Ji?”
He turned around and looked at Ji Jue: “He is indeed a handsome man. I admire him.”
Ji Jue had a blank expression on his face. He glanced at his outstretched hand without moving.
“Mr. Ling is also a handsome man. I admire him very much.”
Ji Jue sighed softly and stared at his smile: “You went through so much trouble to get me here, you should at least let me know why, right?”
“Mr. Ji, that’s too much.”
Ling Zhou smiled nonchalantly, pulled a chair over, and sat opposite Ji Jue, not even looking at the annoying old guys: “As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. The brothers in Huigang can only make a living by shipping. I dare not say that I am rich, but I can only make a living by making some money.
But, Boss Ji’s business is so prosperous, and he has been coming and going these days, but he didn’t even say hello. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
“Isn’t this rich enough?”
Ji Jue looked up, glanced at the extravagant decorations in the casino, and knocked on the table: “Golden nanmu, this table alone is worth more than my entire fortune.
The Federation has no connections, so bringing some spare parts back from the Thousand Islands won’t be an eyesore to Mr. Ling, right? Or is there someone behind this?”
“What are you talking about?”
Ling Zhou shook his head nonchalantly, still smiling: “At home, I rely on my parents, and outside, I rely on my friends. More friends mean more paths. I just want to make friends with you.”
Ji Jue looked at him indifferently.
Suddenly I felt a little sleepy and even wanted to yawn.
This kind of boring and meaningless greetings are really meaningless.
“What about people?”
He asked directly: “I’m already here, where are my people?”
“who?”
Ling Zhou seemed puzzled, but then he suddenly understood, his smile became wider, and he slapped his head: “There is such a person, oh oh oh, look at my memory!”
He turned around and looked behind him: “What are you standing there for? Bring Mr. Ji’s people up.”
There were chaotic footsteps outside the door.
Soon, two people pushed the door open, their white shirts covered in blood, and they were holding a bloody figure in their hands, who was dying.
He was thrown to the ground, choking and convulsing violently.
Sobbing and wailing.
After seeing Ji Jue, he was stunned for a moment, then he stood up desperately and wanted to say something. But the person next to him kicked him to the ground without any hesitation.
Yan Jian suddenly stopped moving. He had no strength left and was gasping for breath.
Only a pair of blood-stained eyes were raised, staring at him blankly, as if tears were flowing down.
“Don’t worry, he’s still alive.”
Ling Zhou reached out and pulled his hair nonchalantly, pulling him up and pressing his head on the table: “Look, he’s alive and kicking. When we do business in Huigang, we value the friendship even if the deal fails.”
Ji Jue didn’t say anything.
Just look into Yeon Gun’s eyes.
In silence, Ling Zhou stretched out his hand and made a promise. Naturally, someone brought up a stack of documents and contracts. The pile was densely packed like a mountain. “In the early years, Director Xu of your company played a little too much with us. It was a bit big. Adding up the bits and pieces… a total of about 400 to 500 million, which is not much.”
He said slowly, “Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. I, brother, have no way to explain this huge bad debt to my superiors. I have no choice but to resort to this last resort, just to meet Mr. Ji once.”
“Is it that simple?”
Ji Jue finally took his eyes off Yan Jian, looked at him, and smiled inexplicably.
Full of sunshine, without any haze.
“Don’t worry, we won’t embarrass you with this kind of thing.”
Ling Zhou grinned like a hungry animal, unable to bear it any longer: “With just one word from Mr. Ji, our old scores will be written off!
Besides, brother, I have saved some money, 200 million to give to you, and another generous gift, to support Mr. Ji’s business.”
He looked straight at Ji Jue, full of enthusiasm:
“We can all make money together, right?”
Ji Jue said nothing and just looked at him.
For a long time, it was like looking at a fool who had no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth.
It was not until Ling Zhou’s smile could no longer be maintained, lost its warmth, and collapsed into a hideous and cruel ruin, that his puzzled voice was heard.
“Just you?”
