After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 95 Sir, justice cannot be broken

The Bund is going to carry out major infrastructure construction.

Except for some buildings with historical and cultural value, the rest will be demolished and rebuilt.

Groundbreaking is taking place everywhere, and excavators are busy working on both sides of the road.

The harbor, which appears peaceful and harmonious on the surface, is actually full of enthusiasm and is working hard to develop rapidly towards its positioning as a smart city.

Lian Pujiang Hotel is also the same.

It is said that the Securities Building has been completed in Lujiazui.

Next year, the Securities Exchange will move out of the Pujiang Hotel and into the Securities Building, boosting surrounding industries in Lujiazui and transforming it into the harbor's most important financial and trade zone.

Zhou Haoran and Dongfang Lang walked towards the north of Pujiang Hotel.

In the future, this area will be high-end residential apartments.

There are still some old houses from decades ago, some Western-style buildings, and many ordinary Shikumen-type properties.

The two walked around in a big circle.

Asked some people.

Finally, I found a store at the end of a Shikumen alley. The sign had only one word "Tea" on it.

There is no mention of "Red Mansion".

"Is this it?" Dongfang Lang looked up at the plaque. "Why is there no name on it?"

Zhou Haoran pointed to the outer wall and said, "Look."

"what happened?"

Dongfang Lang didn't understand.

Zhou Haoran said, "The exterior wall has faded a bit over the years. But you can tell it was probably red back then."

Dongfang Lang twitched his lips and asked, "Red Building, does it mean a red building?"

"I don't know. Let's go in and ask!" Zhou Haoran smiled, then remembered something and warned, "After you go in, don't say anything. Watch me."

The teahouse is very small.

It's only about 40 square meters.

Business is bad and there are no customers.

Zhou Haoran chose a table by the window and sat down.

Soon, a pretty and graceful little girl ran over happily.

About fifteen or sixteen years old.

He is in the prime of his youth, and his face is full of unpolished beauty.

The sound is lively and light.

"Sir, would you like some tea?"

"Give me a pot of oolong tea."

"You have a good eye! Our oolong tea is truly exceptional! Please wait a moment!"

The girl has a pair of very bright eyes, and every blink seems to tell the story of her youth.

Dongfang Lang waited until she left and whispered, "Did she just say 'guest'?"

Zhou Haoran nodded, "It's quite strange anyway."

Dongfang Lang looked around the teahouse and analyzed, "That wall over there should be a partition. If there is no partition, this teahouse should be quite large."

Zhou Haoran looked at the street outside the window. "This place is going to move. If it were before, the business here would probably be pretty good."

Dongfang Lang smiled and said, "Yes, it's right next to the Pujiang Hotel!"

"Makes sense!"

Zhou Haoran immediately thought of something.

Grandpa Zhang said that this teahouse is a place to do business.

In the past, the most influential bosses in Huangpu Beach would go to prestigious places like the Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai for their business and entertainment. However, this was a foreign-related hotel, so not everyone could go.

Lesser businessmen are not qualified to go to the Ritz-Carlton, Taipei.

Maybe they all gathered in this teahouse.

All kinds of people.

It is very likely that they are all discussing business here.

After a while, the little girl brought the tea.

Zhou Haoran was not in a hurry to drink the tea. Instead, he took off the lid of the teacup and placed it sideways on the left side of the teacup, with the top of the lid facing outward and the bottom of the plate facing inward.

The little girl was slightly startled.

She rubbed her eyes playfully, then opened her beautiful eyes wide, like the brightest stars in the deep night sky, sparkling with curiosity and innocence.

Then, she screamed "Ah!", turned around quickly, and ran to the second floor with her skirt lifted up. From a distance, you could hear her shouting, "Grandpa, Grandpa, come quickly, someone is here to hang up the sign!"

Dongfang Lang was stunned, his face blank, "What is this?"

Zhou Haoran shook his head.

Give him a look to keep quiet.

Soon, the clever little girl came back.

He looked a little embarrassed.

His face flushed. He came over and said shyly, "Sir, my grandfather wants you to come up."

"me?"

Zhou Haoran pointed at himself.

The little girl nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah, it's you."

Zhou Haoran asked Dongfang Lang to stay for tea.

He went upstairs alone.

I'm a little nervous.

Can't figure out the situation.

The second floor is the living area.

There is also a tea table here.

Next to the tea table sat an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies.

He looked at the visiting guests with gentle eyes.

"My friend, which pier are you from?"

"what?"

Zhou Haoran was slightly stunned.

When I learned incision from Grandpa Zhang before, there was no such thing!

The old man couldn't help but laugh, and changed the question, "Is there a threshold?"

Zhou Haoran was familiar with it now. He respectfully cupped his hands and said seriously, "I dare not. I am relying on the great master."

"Who is your predecessor?"

"At home, a son dare not speak of his father; outside, a student dare not speak of his teacher."

"Hmm." The old man nodded gently. "Which word do you prefer, young friend?"

Zhou Haoran said: "The sixth one is on the head, the seventh one is on the back, and the eighth one is under the feet."

The old man knew where he came from and said with a smile, "Zhang Yuanzheng asked you to come?"

"what?"

Zhou Haoran didn't understand again.

This is not a fixed cut.

According to Grandpa Zhang, it should be "Sir, is your surname Zhang Shangyuan Xiazheng?"

The old man smiled and asked, "Is it him?"

Zhou Haoran nodded, put away his Republican-era style, and scratched his head awkwardly, "Grandpa Zhang asked me to come."

The old man stood up and said solemnly, "The court has laws, and the world has principles. A bachelor who does not do evil will never be able to hide a person ten feet tall. The long can be cut, the short can be connected, but the righteousness of the gentleman cannot be broken. My name is Liu Zhengyue, and I am honored to meet you, my friend."

Zhou Haoran didn't know how to respond again.

He didn't understand anything beyond the clichés taught by Grandpa Zhang.

After all, times have changed.

In the past few decades, many traditional things have been wiped out.

Many traditional trades have disappeared in the dust of history.

It can only be answered in modern terms.

Zhou Haoran said respectfully, "Old sir, my name is Zhou Haoran, and I work at Red Star TV."

"What kind of gentleman am I?" The old man was startled and waved his hands repeatedly. "When Mr. Zhang was dominating Huangpu Beach, I could only wait in a teahouse."

Zhou Haoran didn't know how to respond.

He could only take out the jade token from his trouser pocket and hand it over.

The old man took the jade token.

His expression was complicated.

"Grandpa Zhang asked me to do something to help out."

Zhou Haoran also relaxed at this time. He did not feel any frightening aura from the other party, only a sense of isolation from the times.

"Do something..." The old man looked at him deeply, "Have you thought it through?"

Zhou Haoran was a little puzzled. "What am I thinking? Grandpa Zhang asked me to come and help."

The old man hesitated a little.

He looked at the jade token in his hand.

Seems determined.

The old man said slowly, "I have a very difficult case to solve. If you are really willing to help, you can come over next Sunday morning and I will arrange a meeting for you."

"Row."

Zhou Haoran didn't know what was going on.

But this is Grandpa Zhang's arrangement.

It might be difficult.

But it shouldn't be a bad thing.
