Chapter 227
Zhang Beichuan, who was thought to be suspicious by the two men, did not go directly to No. 85 where he worked after he went out, but turned and walked in another direction - the Lou family.
Zhang Beichuan was feeling very angry. He had to find Lou Feng to have a good talk with him and find out whether he had deliberately made him embarrassed by going to the Yan family.
At this time, Lou Feng just got home from get off work. When he walked in, he saw Zhang Beichuan sitting in his living room, while his concubine stood obediently beside him.
Seeing this scene, Lou Feng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He secretly wondered if Zhang Beichuan's visit to the Yan family today went smoothly? If everything went well, then there would be a grudge between the Yan family and Zhang Beichuan; but if things did not go well, it could only mean that Zhang Beichuan's ability was limited. No matter what the result was, Zhang Beichuan would definitely feel resentment towards the Yan family. In this way, he could be regarded as avenging his daughter. Thinking of this, the corners of Lou Feng's mouth rose slightly unconsciously.
Zhang Beichuan had been observing this man since Lou Feng entered the room. He did not miss the smile on Lou Feng's face when he entered the room. This made Zhang Beichuan realize that this was all planned by Lou Feng.
Zhang Beichuan's eyes turned cold. He thought Lou Feng was a loyal dog, but he didn't expect that he was a poisonous snake that would bite people. Zhang Beichuan was not someone to be trifled with. Zhang Beichuan put away the coldness in his eyes and said, "Uncle, why did you get off work so early today?"
Lou Feng said with a smile: "Hey, isn't there a deputy here? He wants to show off. If I stay here, it will make him uncomfortable, right?" Zhang Beichuan said as if he didn't know: "Who is the deputy? Why haven't I heard of him?"
Zhang Beichuan's words made Lou Feng even happier, thinking that Zhang Beichuan really didn't know, so he could implement the plan better. He smiled and replied, "Haha, you don't know yet, this is a new person sent from above, saying that he wants to strengthen our management! But I think this is just a formality."
Lou Feng continued, "By the way, Xiaobei, how is your work recently? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Zhang Beichuan thought, this guy is really good at pretending, he is obviously guilty, but he still cares about him as if nothing happened. He deliberately showed a distressed expression and said, "Alas, uncle-in-law, you also know that the current work is not easy to do, and the pressure is very high!"
Lou Feng pretended to be concerned and said, "Oh? Just tell me if you have any problems. Maybe I can help!" Zhang Beichuan sneered in his heart, but pretended to be grateful and said, "Thank you, uncle-in-law. If you need anything, I will definitely not be polite." The two chatted back and forth for a while. They seemed harmonious, but in fact, each of them had his own ulterior motives.
Then Lou Feng seemed to remember something and said, "Well, Xiaobei, how about you go to the Yan family today?" When Zhang Beichuan heard Lou Feng's words, the coldness in his heart became even stronger. He thought Lou Feng would not ask about this matter.
Zhang Beichuan originally wondered if he was overthinking it, after all, Lou Feng didn't ask him anything. But he didn't expect that this man would ask him after dinner. Was he testing him, or waiting until he was no longer worried before asking him questions? Wasn't Lou Feng underestimating him?
Zhang Beichuan drank the wine in his hand and said, "Going to the Yan family today really gave me a surprise. I didn't expect that Yan Minnan is such a talented person. He is a friend worth making friends with." Zhang Beichuan's words not only made Lou Feng's face change, but also made his concubine's face darken.
Zhang Beichuan certainly saw their reactions, but he said that on purpose. He wanted to see how Lou Feng would react, and at the same time let him know that he was not so easily deceived and used. He continued, "Yan Minnan is not only talented, but also sincere and loyal to his friends. I feel it is my honor to know such a person." After saying that, he took another sip of wine and observed Lou Feng's expression.
Lou Feng felt a little unhappy after hearing what Zhang Beichuan said. He originally wanted to learn about the Yan family through Zhang Beichuan, but he didn't expect Zhang Beichuan to be so complimentary of Yan Minnan. He felt that Zhang Beichuan might have noticed his intention, so he said that. He decided not to ask any more questions, so as not to arouse Zhang Beichuan's suspicion. He smiled and said, "In that case, you two should get along well."
Zhang Beichuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will." Then he looked at Lou Feng and thought, "Humph, Lou Feng, don't think I don't know what you are up to. It's not that easy for you to use me!"
At the same time, Zhang Beichuan took in the expressions of the two people. He knew clearly that this woman must have been involved. This time, Zhang Beichuan looked closely and found that this person was the concubine of his uncle-in-law, the mother of the girl named Jin Xin. But she was just a dancer. Zhang Beichuan didn't expect that this woman would dare to flirt with him.
Zhang Beichuan turned to look at Lou Feng with a smile and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask my uncle-in-law something. Who is that deputy position you just mentioned? He dared to ask you to give way, and he simply doesn't take you seriously! Uncle-in-law, how about this? I will send someone to your place tomorrow to let those guys know that you are my uncle-in-law, Zhang Beichuan, and the person under the protection of No. 85."
Lou Feng knew very well that No. 85 was now despised in Shanghai. Was Zhang Beichuan's move a sincere help or a deliberate attempt to make enemies? Although he knew it well, Lou Feng could not refute it in person, so he could only say tactfully: "Hey, these are just trivial matters. How can I be afraid of a mere deputy district chief? I just think he is still young and needs more training and tempering. Besides, how can I trouble you to do it in person? Wouldn't that be a waste of talent?"
Zhang Beichuan pretended to be drunk, staggered to Lou Feng, slapped his chest hard, and said loudly: "My uncle, you are too polite! Don't be afraid, what's a mere deputy? Tell me who he is, I will go and have a good talk with him. How dare you ride on my uncle's head, I have to let him know who is the boss in Shanghai!"
Zhang Beichuan's face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked very tired and drunk. He staggered in front of Lou Feng, with a drunken look on his face, as if he wanted to save some face for Lou Feng, but in fact he looked more like a drunk talking nonsense.
Looking at Zhang Beichuan, Lou Feng was sure that he was drunk. However, he still did not give up and asked again, "Xiao Bei, how did you talk about it at the Yan family today?"
When Zhang Beichuan heard this, he seemed to be unable to react and just replied drunkenly: "What do you mean, how about this wine? This wine is not bad, uncle-in-law, where did you get this wine from?" After saying that, he burped, and a strong smell of alcohol came to his nose.
Lou Feng sighed helplessly, thinking that Zhang Beichuan was really drunk and couldn't even listen to his questions. He decided to wait until Zhang Beichuan sobered up before asking him about the negotiations with the Yan family.
