Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 54: Mr. Kun is a well-behaved person, I like it! (Please read on!)

The banquet lasted until half past nine.

Sun A Ming did come back halfway, but he failed to bring Su Jian Shan back with him.

By the time it was over, Jin Zhiqiang was already a little drunk. Together with Sun Amin, he personally sent Cao Yukun to the stairs. Then he watched Xu Delu and Huang Jiaying support Cao Yukun and stagger down the stairs.

Xu Delu stopped a taxi, helped Cao Yukun into the car, and wanted to go back with them, saying that he was afraid Huang Jiaying couldn't handle it alone, but Huang Jiaying politely declined.

The car had only driven a few hundred meters when she turned her head to look at Cao Yukun, "Is he really drunk?"

Cao Yukun couldn't help laughing, and then he opened his eyes, "Hey, you are such a fool, what's wrong with you helping me later?"

Huang Jiaying raised her hand and patted him on the arm gently, then said "tsk" with a smile.

After a while, she said, "You are very good now. You speak half-truthfully. I was sitting on the sofa and listening. If I didn't know what was going on, I would have doubted whether what you said was true."

Cao Yukun knew that she was talking about funding.

This was obviously the most false yet important information that he had revealed himself the entire evening.

"I have no choice! I have to show weakness, but I also have to act tough. I can't let Boss Jin eat me alone. I have to choose between being soft and hard... How about you just watch from the side? Nothing goes wrong, right?"

Huang Jiaying thought for a moment, tilted her head and looked over with a smile, and said, "I feel like you look a bit like an old guy who has been doing business for decades!"

That's a compliment.

Cao Yukun laughed and subconsciously reached into her pocket and took out a cigarette. Then she realized that she was in a car and felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to put it back, but Huang Jiaying saw her action and suddenly asked the driver in Shanghai dialect, "Master, can I smoke?"

The driver replied, "Sure, I'm a heavy smoker too, go ahead!"

So she turned her head and said, "Okay, stop pretending, just smoke if you want to!"

Cao Yukun stared at her for two or three seconds before he tapped out a cigarette, lit it, and leaned back into the hard taxi seat, looking out the window at the Magic City at night.

The Magic City of this era did not yet have the colorful night sceneries that it would have decades later.

There are mostly old buildings on both sides of the streets. Before liberation, most of them had stone facades, while after liberation, most of them had red brick walls. There are rows of tube-shaped buildings everywhere, and the enclosed buildings will become old and dilapidated residential compounds in twenty years. In addition, except for a few streets, most places have very few pedestrians after 10 o'clock in the evening. The cars on the streets are mainly taxis, but there are not many of them. In this era, it is wishful thinking to be able to stop a taxi by standing on any street.

It is said that there are only 13,000 taxis in the entire Magic City, and this number is already the highest in the country.

The driver drove very fast all the way until he turned into a neighborhood of old houses with few street lights, then he slowed down. Huang Jiaying pointed to the road and asked him to park the car at the door before paying.

Cao Yukun opened the door and got out first. However, just as he got out of the car and was still crouching, his eyes blurred. Suddenly, a person jumped out from the shadows on the street in front of him. He was startled and subconsciously tried to grab the person with his backhand. At the critical moment, he heard the thin black figure say, "It's me!"

Cao Yukun was stunned for a moment, and then his wrist was grabbed and his head was pressed down. "Bend down, don't make a sound, follow the taxi, and be quick!"

Then, before Cao Yukun could react, he had already pulled her forward, crouching down and walking along the body of the taxi. When the door on that side closed, the taxi drove out with a whoosh. He pulled Cao Yukun and rushed into his home. When he passed by Huang Jiaying who got off the taxi on the other side, he pulled her to the other side of his body. Before Huang Jiaying could scream, he whispered, "Hurry up!"

But at this moment, someone on the side of the road suddenly spoke, "Boss Kun! Please wait a moment!"

Cao Yukun stopped and looked back. It turned out that a car had parked in the dark on the side of the road. When the door opened, the reading light in the car lit up first, and someone got out of the car.

He was tall and dressed in a suit. As he opened the car door and got out, the passenger door suddenly opened as well. An agile man walked over quickly, shaking out a woolen coat as he walked, and put it on the man from behind. "You just came back from Mr. Jin's dinner party, right? Want to chat for a while?"

Only then did Cao Yukun realize that Du Xuehong had been standing between him and the car, and Huang Jiaying was being pulled by him, blocking his view between the front seat of the car and his view of the driver's seat.

He suddenly understood what Du Xuehong was doing.

But at this moment the other party suddenly showed up, and it was obvious that the possibility of a hidden gun attack had been ruled out.

So Cao Yukun gently raised his hand and pushed Du Xuehong away.

His face was gloomy and he was furious, but when he spoke, his voice seemed to be smiling, "You came to my doorstep in the middle of the night to block me? Brother, is there something shameful going on?"

The man laughed. "Boss Kun, you misunderstood! I had no choice but to do this! But your bodyguard is really amazing. My car has been parked here for half an hour, and I didn't notice when he came out and sneaked to the street! Awesome!...Want to chat for a while?"

Cao Yukun thought about it, then stood there and answered, "Okay! What do you want to talk about?"

The man heard this and said, "I don't know what price Mr. Jin offered you. I'll add a hundred to each one! Sell it to me!"

Cao Yukun laughed loudly and suddenly waved his hands, "No, no, no! Don't quote, absolutely don't quote! I don't have much friendship with you, brother. Of course, I don't have much friendship with Mr. Jin either, but I met Mr. Jin first and have already talked to him. No matter how high or low the price you offer, I have to wait for Mr. Jin's reply first. What do you say?"

When he said this, Cao Yukun couldn't help but curse in his heart - Jin Zhiqiang, this guy really likes to put on airs! Look, look, this is the firmness and decisiveness that a businessman should have!

I went to the Dali Palace tonight because I thought that Jin Zhiqiang would probably talk to me about purchasing the subscription certificates in my hands. Whether we can reach an agreement or not is aside. We have to start the conversation!

It's a test! It's a contact! It's a tug of war!
As a result, he actually had to play a game of alliance first. Seeing that Su Jianshan was not reliable and might even stab him in the back at any time, he threw out the so-called "listening to books together"!
Ugh……

He doesn't look like the big guys you see in movies and TV shows at all!
Not strong enough, not fierce enough, not direct enough!

"Oh? So that's how it is! Mr. Kun is a well-behaved man, I like that!"

As he spoke, he suddenly reached out, took out a business card holder from his pocket, pulled out a card, and walked towards him. Cao Yukun was stunned for a moment, but in less than half a second, he had pushed away Huang Jiaying, who had been standing stupidly in front of him, and walked towards him.

"This is my business card. If you have time, please call me anytime! Magic City, Hongkong, I have friends all over the world! I hope to become friends with you, too!"

"Easy to say!"

Cao Yukun took the business card. In the darkness, he couldn't see anything clearly. He just felt that although the man in front of him was a few centimeters shorter than him, he looked quite strong and imposing.

If the opponent was a martial artist, Cao Yukun suspected that he might not even be able to defeat him. If he was not a martial artist, given his physique, it would probably take him more than ten seconds to knock him down!
"My home is simple and I don't have a telephone installed yet. When I get one installed, I'll call you first!"

"Hahaha, ok! See you later!"

"Goodbye!"
