above the point of the knife

Chapter 119
Naturally, Su Wenqing has been to a top Japanese grocery store in the ice city like Musashino, but it is impossible for him to come alone.

He is not Japanese, and without an invitation, he would definitely not be able to come to such a place.

The dinner tonight made him a little uneasy.

Kato suddenly invited him here for dinner at this juncture, it must be something to talk about in the future.

Follow the waiter to the private room on the second floor.

"Mr. Su, please." Musashino's waiter naturally knew Su Wenqing, and he was the guest of Gendarmerie Commander Kato tonight.

Su Wenqing nodded slightly.

He took off his leather shoes at the door, took off his coat, handed it to the waiter, waited for the waiter to help him open the door, and then walked in.

"Mr. Su is here!" Kato was dressed in the uniform of the Japanese army's lieutenant officer, and his black collar badge showed his identity as a military policeman. He got up and greeted him with a smile on his face. He was considered tall among the Japanese soldiers, similar to Su Wenqing. A smell of iron-blooded soldiers rushed over.

Kato is ruthless, murderous, known as the devil, the Japanese are not good at women, but they only love money, and they like to raise wolf dogs. It is said that they have raised a black back, which is extremely vicious, and they are often fed with "human flesh". true and false.

"Commander Kato is too polite." Su Wenqing came and saw another person sitting upright in the room, glanced at him, and couldn't help but jump in his heart. Shibuya Saburo from the police department, how could he appear here?

It is natural for Su Wenqing to deal with the police department. Although he doesn't have much contact with Saburo Shibuya, he still knows him.

He had heard that the gendarmerie had always had a bad relationship with the police department, but he didn't expect that Kato invited him to dinner tonight, and Shibuya Saburo was also invited.

Is this dispelling the rumors of discord between the two families, or is the "discord" itself a rumor deliberately released by the two families?

"Shibuya-kun, let me introduce Su Wenqing, Su Jun, a local celebrity and wealthy businessman in Bingcheng." Kato was very enthusiastic.

"I've heard that President Su is famous for a long time, and I finally have the chance to meet him today. I've admired him for a long time!" Shibuya Saburo stood up and smiled.

"Hello Mr. Shibuya." Su Wenqing bowed quickly.

"Come on, let's sit down and talk!" As the host of the dinner, Kato greeted the two with a smile, "I wanted to introduce Su Jun and Shibuya-kun to you, but unfortunately I never had the chance. There is this opportunity."

"Thank you, Commander Kato, I have admired Mr. Shibuya for a long time!" Su Wenqing felt more and more uneasy, but now that he has come, it is impossible to leave. Offending Kato, for him, the consequences will be serious. It was very serious, and he couldn't bear it.

"President Su, you are too polite. A few days ago, Ling Qianjin got engaged. Shibuya was busy with business, so I couldn't go. Please forgive me. If Ling Qianjin is getting married in the future, if Shibuya is still in Ice City, I will definitely go to congratulate you!" Shibuya Saburo He raised his glass and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Shibuya, Wenqing will definitely come to invite you in person." Su Wenqing responded with a toast.

"President Su, did you hear about the gunshot incident in Xiaonanyuan yesterday?" Saburo Shibuya put down his glass and smiled slightly, and asked.

Su Wenqing shook slightly, and almost spilled the wine in the glass, but after all, he is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, so he quickly regained his composure: "I have heard about it."

"The law and order in Ice City has always been good. Such large-scale gunshots are rarely heard. The better the law and order is, the better the business will be. President Su is a celebrity in Ice City and the vice president of the chamber of commerce. You should understand, right?"

"Understood, of course I understand. I am a businessman, and I most hope to live a peaceful life and do safe business." Su Wenqing nodded.

"Shibuya-kun, let me just say, Su-jun still knows the general situation, Shibuya-kun, your worries are unnecessary." Kato chuckled, "Come on, drink up this cup."

The three raised their glasses and drank the wine in the glass.

"President Su is Kato-kun's friend, that is, Shibuya's friend. Then I will open the skylight and say the truth. Zhou Sen, a police officer from the Nangang Police Station of the Police Department, is my student. I ask President Su to look at it for my sake." , don’t embarrass him anymore.” Shibuya Saburo said.

Su Wenqing went "boom" in his mind, and was quite frightened. Zhou Sen was actually a student of Saburo Shibuya. Why didn't he see such a thing in his investigation of Zhou Sen?

"Zhou Sen is a low-key person, and he doesn't like to use my name to show off outside, but this time, he asked me to come here. As a teacher, I have to help, what do you think?" Saburo Shibuya continued.

He couldn't tell Su Wenqing Zhou Sen's real identity, so he had to use other excuses, and the relationship between the teacher and the students was the most suitable.

Isn't it normal for teachers to come forward to solve troubles for students.

Su Wenqing began to weigh the pros and cons in his heart. Although he really wanted to get Bai Yulan, it was not only because of face, but also for other reasons, but he couldn't tell anyone.

But now Saburo Shibuya has come forward. He is the deputy director of the Police Department, and he is one of the top few people with the highest power in Bingcheng and even the entire Binjiang Province.

If he insisted, the Su family and Seven Star Hall would be destroyed, and the foundation he had worked so hard for for more than ten years would collapse in an instant.

It's not obvious that Saburo Shibuya was able to ask him out through Kato. Kato was inclined to reconcile him with Saburo Shibuya, no, it should be Zhou Sen who reconciled.

Su Wenqing knew that a woman was more important than Qixingtang and the entire Su family.

"Mr. Shibuya, I have no intention of opposing you. This love scene is like a battlefield. You know that I am not one to give up easily, but now it seems that I have indeed lost." Su Wenqing sighed after weighing soundtrack.

"It's good that President Su can figure it out, she's just a girl, come, I respect you." Saburo Shibuya smiled slightly and raised his glass.

"Thank you."

"President Su, there are some matters that need to be visited in person to speak clearly and explain clearly," Shibuya Saburo said.

"I understand." Su Wenqing understood, and a bitter taste came out of his mouth involuntarily.

……

North Sixth Street, Land Hotel.

After Jiang Rou moved out of the big car shop, she lived in the only suite in this hotel. With her current income, it is natural that she can afford it.

The rest of the troupe were still living in Dachedian, and Sun Qingkui was also looking for a place to settle the troupe as a whole.

Always staying in a hotel costs a lot.

If you can rent a suitable house, you can save at least half of your daily expenses.

But the houses in Bingcheng are not so easy to rent. Good houses are expensive, and the environment of cheap houses is too bad.

Sun Qingkui has been worrying about the house these days. Of course, he wants to buy a house, but it is more expensive to buy a house. He likes to gamble. Although it is not a bad gamble, he has not saved much money. What are you doing with Jiang Rou, the cash cow?
Since he was considering settling down, buying a house was a must, and renting a house was also a temporary measure. He also thought that buying a house and letting Jiang Rou live with him would make it easier to control Jiang Rou and provide him with retirement for the rest of his life.

Jiang Rou returned to the hotel from the Ningxiang Pavilion and didn't go out again. Zhou Sen's proposal really moved her heart. It's not that she didn't want to be self-reliant, but she didn't think about replacing Sun Qingkui.

In her opinion, Bai Yulan invited her to live in the Ningxiang Hall, which was also an excellent choice, so that she could get closer to Zhou Sen, and, with Bai Yulan's protection, she could avoid many troubles.

After her debut on the new stage became an instant hit, troubles came, and people of all colors came to her door. How could she not know what these people were thinking?

In any case, she would never choose any one of them as her destination.

It's a win-win.

She didn't like being served by others, so she lived alone. Sun Qingkui wanted to find her a girl, but she refused.

Her identity, if there is someone around her, it must be more troublesome. Anyway, she was used to being alone before.

Sun Qingkui didn't insist either, if he could find another maid for her, it would be another sum of money, for him, these are the coffin books for his future retirement.

dong dong...

A knock on the door woke Jiang Rou up from her contemplation. She identified it as the sound of her own door.

He opened the door and found Sun Qingkui at the door.

"Father, you are here, come in quickly." Jiang Rou opened the door and let Sun Qingkui in.

"Xiaorou, have you had dinner?" Sun Qingkui asked after he came in and sat down.

"Not yet, I'll ask someone to bring over a bowl of noodles later." Jiang Rou made Sun Qingkui a cup of tea and said that she ate too much at noon, and she's not hungry right now.

"How about just eating noodles? I'll make a phone call and ask the restaurant to deliver some of your favorite meals..."

"No need, father-in-law, have a light meal tonight so that you can rest, and you will be on stage tomorrow morning!" Jiang Rou said hastily.

"Okay, since you said so, it's up to you." Sun Qingkui didn't insist. Ordering food in restaurants costs money.

"Xiao Rou, those people are all respectable people in Bingcheng, you can't refuse them all, and also, the high price invited us to sing a concert, one visit can be worth half a month's income of our little one..."

"Father, we haven't signed the contract with the new stage. If we are anxious to earn money outside, what will the new stage think of us? It's better not to sign this fixed contract. The income of the hall is high. , not every day, if I sang church every day, do you think these people will pay a high price to invite us?" Jiang Rou asked calmly.

"I understand the truth, but this private agreement is not so easy to sign. The new stage already has a cooperating critic team. Although it is not as popular as us now, it was also famous in the ice city in the past. We want to squeeze out others. It is very difficult to sign the contract." Sun Qingkui said.

The boss of the new stage is not stupid. Although the Ruiqing troupe is popular, but after all, there is still some distance from the troupe that cooperates with the new stage. How can it be possible if you want top-level cooperation treatment, let alone squeeze others living space.

In addition to the new stage, there are other stages that are also secretly contacted, but the new stage is the first to contact them and agree to their resident performances.

If the Ruiqing class directly abandons the new stage and goes to another stage, they will never have a foothold in the ice city.

They are not natives of Bingcheng, and they have no right to choose. Once they betray, it will be a stain. Even if there are other stages to take them in, they may not be able to reach their current heights.

And it will also form a bridge with the new stage.

But as long as the Ruiqing class takes root in Bingcheng, the situation will be different. Sun Qingkui, an old man in this profession, is very clear about these rules.

On the surface he has many choices, but in fact, he has not many choices.

"What are the conditions for the new stage?"

"They require you to perform no less than [-] performances per year, and sign a residency agreement for at least three years. In terms of repertoire, we choose half of the repertoire and half are designated by them. There must also be a certain number of new repertoires every year. There are also requirements for the number of people, if not met, the share with us will be reduced..." Sun Qingkui said a lot of conditions.

Hearing this, Jiang Rou couldn't help frowning slightly. It seems that it is not easy to take root in the ice city.
