Chapter 1088 You've even opened a branch in Tianjin?
There was a wind at the dock, and Wang Xiaoshou tried to light his cigarette twice but couldn't manage it.
He Zhihui smiled gently and stretched out her hands to protect Wang Xiaoshou from the fire.
Having finally lit a cigarette, Wang Xiaoshou said embarrassedly, "I'm so embarrassed on our first meeting. I forgot to ask Miss He if she wants a cigarette."
"I don't smoke. Shall we find a sheltered spot for a walk? We've been cooped up on the ship for two days, I'm itching to walk a few kilometers!"
The two then left the dock and went for a walk in the streets.
Around noon, the two found a local restaurant for lunch. In the afternoon, when it was almost time to board the ship, He Zhihui reluctantly saw Wang Xiaoshou off back to the dock.
By the time He Zhihui arrived home, He Haoyun had already gone through a series of psychological processes, including anger, calmness, rationality, and worry.
He Haoyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter return.
Damn it, I thought that unassuming guy was going to kidnap my daughter today. If she doesn't come back tonight either, then...
"Dad, I'm back!"
He Haoyun snorted and didn't reply.
He Zhihui entered the living room with a smile. "Dad, what's wrong? Are you unhappy that I'm back from Hong Kong?"
He Haoyun said with a stern face, "Did you come back from Hong Kong? I bet you came back from some coffee shop!"
"No, Juncai doesn't like coffee. We found a restaurant run by northerners and had afternoon tea there."
He Haoyun's computer crashed. It was at a restaurant run by northerners, for afternoon tea...
After a moment of stunned silence, he stood up anxiously. "Do you know who that Wang Juncai is? Let me tell you, don't be fooled by his wealth and power; he's extremely dangerous! And he has very close ties with the Japanese!"
He Zhihui shook her head. "When we left the dock, a Japanese ronin was bullying a vendor. It was Juncai who stepped in to stop him. I suppose he had no choice but to associate with the Japanese."
He Haoyun's eyes widened!
Back then, to save my ship, I gave a gift to a Japanese officer. How did my precious daughter call me back then? A traitor?
Well, when it comes to other people, it's a matter of having no other choice!
In short, I do not approve of your relationship!
He Zhihui pouted, then blinked her eyes. "Dad, when I went to Hong Kong this time, I looked at our accounts. Right now, all the ships are taking refuge in Xiangguo, and there's no income. We're just sitting here and doing nothing. Even if you don't agree to me pursuing Juncai, can't we at least talk about business?"
He Haoyun clutched his chest, on the verge of a heart attack.
You... you're pursuing that Wang Juncai?!?
............
Wang Xiaoshou, who was having good luck with women, finally arrived in Tianjin three days later.
When the boat entered the Zizhulin Wharf, Wang Xiaoshou almost burst into tears.
The ship stopped again in the island city. Wang Xiaoshou sent a telegram here. As soon as he got off the ship, he saw Niu San'er waiting there with a lot of people.
This time, Wang Xiaoshou really shed tears.
He ran to Niu San'er in two quick strides, "San'er!"
Niu San'er hugged him and patted his back hard. "Brother Xiao Shou, Master Lin sent me to pick you up."
Instead of saying "I've come to pick you up," Niu San'er said, "Master Lin sent me to pick you up," and Wang Xiaoshou almost burst into tears.
“Little Hand Brother, go back and cry. It seems that Hong Kong is not far away. I thought it would take you ten days or half a month to get here, but I didn’t expect you to arrive in six or seven days. You can come back more often in the future! Hmm, you can also take a plane, which is even faster.”
Wang Xiaoshou held back her tears. "If you want to fly back from Hong Kong, you'd have to find a way to take a Japanese military plane. Do you dare to fly on their plane?"
They both laughed.
Whether it's the pilots' quality or the aircraft's quality that's getting worse, the Japanese planes' crash rate is getting higher and higher.
Niu San'er was very particular about his work, and he even specially invited some of Wang Xiaoshou's former colleagues and subordinates from the auxiliary management bureau and the detective team to come and greet him.
When everyone saw that Wang Xiaoshou was dressed in a suit and tie and that Director Niu had come to pick him up personally, some rumors were dispelled. Brother Xiaoshou had not lost his favor; he was very much loved!
Everyone started asking questions about the situation in the port city.
"Hey Little Hand, I heard that Hong Kong is full of foreign women?"
"Brother Xiaoshou, how's the market in Gangcheng? Is it as bustling as Tianjin?"
"Brother Xiaoshou, are you still working in the detective squad in Hong Kong?"
Wang Xiaoshou selectively mentioned some of the details.
After getting in the car, we headed straight for the Lin Mansion.
Wang Xiaoshou asked, "Niu San'er, aren't you going to the Military Police Headquarters?"
Niu San'er turned around and smiled, "You've finally come back, of course I'll see you at home."
Wang Xiaoshou was moved again. "I brought you all some things. They're in that big leather suitcase. When we get to Master Lin's house, we can share them!"
Upon arriving at the Lin Mansion and entering the living room, they saw Lin Ze sitting on the sofa, smiling at the travel-worn Wang Xiaoshou, while Xie Quan and Zhu Zi stood on either side like two generals, also smiling.
"Master Lin! Old Xie! Zhu Zi!"
Lin Ze stood up, looked at Wang Xiaoshou, and said, "Not bad, not bad, you look much more energetic. Going to other places is good training for people!"
Wang Xiaoshou grinned foolishly as he took off his hat, and Zhu Zi exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! Brother Xiaoshou! You went to the south, how come your hair has grown so long!"
Wang Xiaoshou explained, "Hehe, this is a wig, I had it made. It's not always convenient to have a big bald head. Zhuzi, it's been a while, you've gotten more imposing!"
Zhu Zi smiled憨厚ly, "What kind of imposing presence do I have?"
In fact, Zhu Zi now really does have the air of someone who has been in a high position for a long time and holds power. After all, he is "Golden Buddha" and the "station chief" of Tianjin Station. He often gives orders. In addition, he has done a lot of secret work, so he has a cautious and calm aura. He doesn't talk much to begin with, and now he looks even more aloof. Only when he is facing his own people will he revert to the honest and simple young man he used to be.
Lin Ze waved his hand, "Alright, Xiao Shou came all the way back from Gangcheng, and Xie Quan also rushed back from Jidong. Today, I'll arrange for Niu San'er to find a restaurant with meat dishes, and we'll have a good drink!"
Niu San'er had already prepared a place, and the group took a car to a meat shop in an alley.
When Wang Xiaoshou saw the chubby chef greeting him at the door, he was momentarily stunned. "Wait, Master Chef, what's this? You've opened a branch in Tianjin?"
The fat cook chuckled. He had arrived at this place yesterday and had no idea who owned it.
After receiving Wang Xiaoshou's telegram, Niu San'er learned that Xie Quan and Zhu Zi were also coming over. He guessed that Master Lin would definitely arrange a meal, so yesterday he had someone bring over the fat chef to recreate the feeling of the two-meat restaurant behind the police station in the outer third district of Beiping.
As usual, the meal consisted of hearty dishes such as braised carp with chili oil, braised pork hock, and pig's head. Two bottles of Zhigu sorghum liquor were also served, and the brothers started drinking. Even Niu San'er made an exception and had a small cup.
After a few rounds of drinks, Lin Ze asked, "How's the situation in Hong Kong?"
