Chapter 926: Big water, big fish
Pu Jiandao: “Actually, it doesn’t matter which ship you get on. The most important thing is that it can carry you through wind and waves to your destination.”
Xiahou Mulan smiled calmly and said: “I want stability when investing. I don’t want to encounter any big winds and waves. I can’t stand the bumps and make me seasick.”
Xu Chunliang said meaningfully: “The bigger the wind and waves, the bigger the fish.”
Xiahou Mulan was stunned for a moment. She didn’t know how to answer this question.
Xu Chunliang saw her hesitation and immediately knew that she had understood the underlying meaning. He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her and said, “I wish our cooperation will be successful.”
Xiahou Mulan quickly clinked her wine glasses with him. She couldn’t continue the conversation because she would be embarrassed if others saw it.
Chen Qianfan said: “I don’t even have a chance to board a pirate ship. Chunliang doesn’t like my little investment and won’t take me fishing.”
Xu Chunliang said: “I didn’t stop you.”
Xie Boxiang asked about Xiahou Zun’s condition. Xiahou Mulan thanked him for his concern and said that his father was not in good health now, his personality had become withdrawn, and he had cut off contact with the outside world.
Xie Boxiang lamented: “Our generation is old and it’s time to quit.”
Zeng Yuanqing complimented: “Master is highly respected in the industry, so you can’t retreat.”
Pu Jian flattered him and said, “Yes, Mr. Xie is the beacon of our cultural and entertainment industry. If you retire, we, the younger generation, will have no direction.”
Xie Boxiang smiled and said: “Once a person is regarded as highly respected by others, it proves that he is old. If he becomes a bright light in the industry, it proves that he has reached the forefront. I still understand the principle of being the first to succeed.”
Zeng Yuanqing and Pu Jian looked at each other. They had no intention of doing so.
Pu Jian laughed and said, “Master Xie is joking with us.”
Xie Boxiang said: “I’m not joking, I really plan to quit. I will have a lot of time to wander around and visit my old friends. After all, there is not much time left for us.” He said to Xiahou Mulan: ” I plan to go to Qiaocheng to visit your father in a while.”
Xiahou Mulan smiled and said, “Welcome.”
After the dinner, Xu Chunliang asked Chen Qianfan and Pu Jian to go first, and he got into Xiahou Mulan’s car.
Xiahou Mulan didn’t drink. Xu Chunliang drank a lot. Xiahou Mulan said softly: “Where do you live?”
Xu Chunliang told her the hotel address and asked where Xiahou Mulan lived, only to find out that she had not booked a hotel yet. Xu Chunliang immediately called the front desk and opened a suite for Xiahou Mulan.
Xiahou Mulan was about to speak but stopped.
Xu Chunliang said: “You and Xie Boxiang have known each other for a long time?”
Xiahou Mulan nodded and said: “He and Lao Cao are old friends. They had many business contacts in the early years, but there was no contact after the establishment of Mulan Group.”
Xu Chunliang nodded. Cao Xinwei began to retreat a few years ago. After the retreat, Xiahou Mulan took over the business. Mulan Group made a lot of money from Chinese herbal medicine alone, so naturally it would no longer engage in high-risk underground transactions.
As long as something goes wrong in that kind of business, if something goes wrong and the source is traced, maybe even the transport of troops and food will be exposed.
Xu Chunliang said: “Are you here specifically to see him?”
Xiahou Mulan said: “Xie Boxiang planned to wash his hands in a golden basin. He was in a hurry for money two years ago and found us. Cao Xinwei was in retreat and it was not convenient for him to come forward. I lent him 10 million. He took the initiative to pay back the money when it was due this time. I confiscate part of my interest, and I confiscate his interest.”
Xu Chunliang said: “There is really not much I can repay when I borrow money now, but I actually take the initiative to give you interest. According to you, Lao Xie is still a very particular person.”
Xiahou Mulan said: “Xie Boxiang is a veteran, and these people still pay attention to integrity. It happened that the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine asked us to supplement some materials. I thought about it and came in person.”
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: “It’s just a formality. Don’t worry, Mulan Group will definitely be fine.”
The car drove into the hotel parking lot. Xiahou Mulan parked the car, looked at him and said, “Thank you.”
Xu Chunliang said: “You have driven here. You have been tired for a day. Go and rest first. If you have anything to do, we can talk tomorrow.”
Xiahou Mulan nodded. Xu Chunliang helped her pick up her suitcase. Xiahou Mulan went to the front desk to complete the check-in procedures. When she arrived, she found that she and Xu Chunliang were next door.
The two said good night to each other, and Xiahou Mulan returned to the room, her heart pounding, looking at herself in the mirror, her cheeks flushed, as if she was drunk, thinking that Xu Chunliang would look at her shy appearance. Arrived, but luckily, I finally returned to my room.
Xiahou Mulan looked at the room and she was quite satisfied with the environment. While taking a shower, I couldn’t help but wonder, would he come to find me? If he comes, should I open the door and let him in?
After taking a shower, I didn’t hear the doorbell, and I felt a little strange. Could it be that he had been here? Didn’t you hear me taking a shower?
Looking at the time, it was already half past ten in the evening. Xu Chunliang had probably fallen asleep after drinking a lot.
Xiahou Mulan picked up the phone and took a look. Without his phone number, Xiahou Mulan realized that she was in a state of worry about gain and loss. She was really confused by this guy.
She planned to take a nap and wait until tomorrow to talk again, when a message from Xu Chunliang came – How are you recently? Xiahou Mulan hesitated for a moment. She could eat and sleep well, and her physical condition didn’t seem to be affected at all. But she hadn’t recovered yet. Should she tell him about this?
Xiahou Mulan thought for a while and replied with a yes.
Xu Chunliang then sent another message – I originally wanted to discuss cooperation with you, but I was worried that it would affect your rest.
Xiahou Mulan replied – I’m not tired… I wanted to post it, but I thought about it and deleted it. If I really posted it, Xu Chunliang probably wouldn’t understand that she was hinting at him.
Xiahou Mulan waited for a while, but Xu Chunliang didn’t send another message. It was probably because she didn’t respond, so his side also stopped.
Xiahou Mulan sat on the bed and sighed inwardly. She had been completely disturbed by him. Recently, she kept thinking of him unconsciously, and she was really on his pirate ship.
When Xiahou Mulan was getting ready to go to bed, the doorbell rang.
Xiahou Mulan had actually been looking forward to the doorbell ringing in her heart, but when it actually rang, she was a little scared again. She came to the door and took a look outside. Xu Chunliang must have taken a shower and was dressed like a dog.
Xiahou Mulan bit her lip. What is there to be afraid of? He can still eat me? Open the door.
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, “I want to talk to you about something, so I won’t delay your rest, right?”
Xiahou Mulan turned sideways to let Xu Chunliang in and closed the door. Xu Chunliang looked at Xiahou Mulan who was like a hibiscus. The reasons he had prepared were suddenly thrown aside by him. He suddenly grabbed Xiahou Mulan’s hand and pulled her Come over.
Xiahou Mulan struggled symbolically for a moment, and then threw herself into his arms. If the first time she couldn’t choose, the second time it was half a push, and this third time it was a bit like running in both directions.
That night Xiahou Mulan became more and more sure that she had boarded Xu Chunliang’s pirate ship, and she also deeply understood Xu Chunliang’s saying that the bigger the wind and waves, the bigger the fish. However, this experience was exciting and pleasant. She liked the feeling of fishing on the pirate ship. During this period, she also came up with the idea that not all passengers on the pirate ship might be passengers, but also the helmsman. As long as she got used to the ship, she could still control its direction.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning broke through the morning fog, Xiahou Mulan, who had been fishing hard all night, basically gave up the idea of being a helmsman. This pirate ship was not that easy to control. It was too difficult to take the initiative on this ship. Just be an ordinary sailor, leave the helm to Xu Chunliang, and just fish with peace of mind.
Xu Chunliang looked at Xiahou Mulan, who was as docile as a lamb in his arms, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
Xiahou Mulan opened her beautiful eyes at this moment, caught his evil smile, and reached out to cover his mouth: “Don’t laugh.”
Xu Chunliang kissed her long, snow-white fingers. After kissing, he remembered something: “Have you washed your hands?”
Xiahou Mulan chuckled and slapped Xu Chunliang on his strong chest: “You are so annoying.”
Xu Chunliang said: “Why did you forget everything you said last night?”
Xiahou Mulan was so ashamed that she buried her pretty face in his chest.
Xu Chunliang said: “How about I help you recall your memories?”
Xiahou Mulan said: “No, I…I have to go to the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine later.” She remembered something and whispered in Xu Chunliang’s ear: “I’m not here yet.”
Xu Chunliang pretended to be confused, pretending to understand: “What?”
“I’m the one who hasn’t come yet, do you think I will…”
Xu Chunliang said: “I can’t say for sure. If you don’t go back, I’ll buy a test paper for you to test.”
Xiahou Mulan spat: “I can’t do it myself.” She suddenly felt something strange, put on her clothes and ran to the bathroom.
Xu Chunliang looked at her, and Xiahou Mulan seemed to have eyes in the back of her head: “Don’t look at me.” She grabbed a pillow and threw it at Xu Chunliang.
Xu Chunliang caught it with a smile.
Xiahou Mulan’s worries were unnecessary. What was supposed to come would always come, just two days late. This also proved that Xu Chunliang’s hard work during this period did not bear fruit.
During breakfast together, Xiahou Mulan told Xu Chunliang that Cha Shixiong and Jin Xinhui had been arranged at the base and temporarily arranged work for them. Anyway, they would not tell others and would not ask about their identities. The planting base is so large that there is enough space. for their activities.
Xu Chunliang asked Monk Yuanrong if he had caused any trouble to her recently. Xiahou Mulan shook his head. Ever since he met Yuanrong once in Dongzhou, he had never come to her again. Xiahou Mulan sent someone to Jinguang Temple to inquire about him. He learned about Yuan Rong’s whereabouts and learned that Yuan Rong had gone out to travel.
Xu Chunliang reminded Xiahou Mulan that she should be careful about the situation inside the family. Yuan Rong, Wu Yuanyi and others should have already become suspicious of Xia Houzun’s disappearance. He suggested that Xiahou Mulan make the disappearance of Xia Houzun public as soon as possible to seize the opportunity. Best policy.
Xiahou Mulan looked around and whispered: “Actually, the reason why I came to Beijing this time is for the affairs of the sect. The four elders of the tired sect will all go to my house tomorrow…” At this point, she realized that she had made a mistake.
Xu Chunliang looked at Xiahou Mulan, whose face was flushed, and suddenly understood in her heart that she had a house in the capital, and even though she could go home last night, she still came to the hotel to fish with him. There was no doubt that this girl was in love with him.
