Shao Fei leaves Lu Zuofu's office. He and Chen Haotian walked in front, and Xue Bing followed behind them with a serious expression. Shao Fei felt less like a soldier and more like an agent or bodyguard. At this time, Shao Fei didn't know that Xue Bing was one of the members of the "Black Tiger".

Shao Fei went down the stairs and said to Chen Haotian: "Hey~ Brother Tianhao, we are also insiders of Minsheng Company, do we have any privileges, such as internal ticket purchases, this is also the welfare of employees." ”

Chen Haotian smiled and said, "Don't dream, you kid." If you want a ticket to do this, where can you sell it? Don't talk about you, Mr. Lu's wife and children make their own company's boats, and they have to go to formal channels to queue up to buy tickets. Some say he is the poorest business tycoon in China. ”

Shao Fei just smiled after hearing this. Thinking back to the time when I was in the Lu Mansion, the furniture was very old, and the food I ate was very ordinary, no wonder Liu Ying's stinky girl kept running to Lan Ling. Although Lu Zuofu owns China's largest shipping company, he is very clean.

Chen Haotian sighed: "I am an arrogant person, I don't admire anyone, Mr. Lu is one." He came from a poor background, unlike me. At first, he wanted to educate and rejuvenate the country, but it didn't work. Later, in response to the former prime minister's industrial rejuvenation of the country, he devoted himself to industry. It started from a cargo ship of several tens of tons to its current scale. In Minsheng Shipping, there is a slogan that he personally wrote: Shipping saves the country. I guess all he thinks about is this country. ”

Indeed, as Chen Haotian said. During the Battle of Wuhan, the chairman of the National People's Congress ordered all the ships of Minsheng Shipping to go to the waters south of Tianjia Town and sink to prevent the Japanese warships from moving forward. But Lu Zuofu refused, and he only said: My ship is used to save the country, not to stop the Japanese warships.

However, Chen Haotian still didn't understand what Shao Fei meant, if there was an internal ticket purchase, there would definitely be problems of negotiation, hospitality, and corruption.

Immediately, the three of them left the company and came to the ticket office of Minsheng Shipping near the company.

At the ticket office on Huaiyuan Road of Minsheng Yichang Branch, the crowd is crowded on the inside and outside three floors. Many people can't buy a ticket for half a month, or even a month, and can only stay in Yichang. As a result, more and more people are stranded in Yichang and are overwhelmed.

Chen Haotian looked at the crowded crowd and sighed: "It's hard to get a ticket now." On the black market, they were sold for a silver dollar. ”

Shao Fei replied: "What a black market, isn't it a scalper." These scalpers are always on the front line at the ticket office. ”

Chen Haotian glanced at Shao Fei and said, "Don't say something that Lao Tzu doesn't understand?" ”

The three of them were about to leave, when suddenly a captain officer led his men towards the ticket office. The queues around to buy tickets were all ordinary people or refugees, and they could only concede three points when they saw the soldiers.

The captain came to the ticket office and said in a threatening tone: "I want two hundred tickets!" ”

The ticket seller replied: "Tickets here are only sold to ordinary people, and the army has its own ships. ”

The captain took out his gun and said angrily: "Lao Tzu has been waiting for ten days, how can there be a ship!" Who cares if our Sichuan army lives or dies! Give it to me quickly, or I'll kill you! ”

The staff was overwhelmed and didn't know what to do.

"Give it to me!"

The captain seemed to be in a hurry, and he knew that it was not appropriate for him to do so, and if he told the people above to know, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

"Your Sichuan army is ruthless and bloody, I like it."

Shao Fei was completely teasing. After hearing this, Chen Haotian walked over with an angry look and said angrily: "Stop, it's a shame for the Sichuan army!" ”

The captain turned around and broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Chen Haotian. At this time, Chen Haotian was still wearing the military uniform of a major general.

"Sir, I'm ......"

Chen Haotian slapped him and scolded: "You guys are robbing the street, don't you think Yichang City is not chaotic enough?" How do you make these people think of our Sichuan army!? ”

The captain felt extremely aggrieved, and said with tears: "I can't help it, who will care about the life or death of our Sichuan army?" ”

As he spoke, the captain wiped away his tears aggrievedly and said, "We are all from the 72nd Army." Minshan suffered numerous casualties in the first battle. My superiors told me to take my brothers who were missing arms and legs back to Sichuan, and they asked for a boat, but they said no, and they couldn't buy tickets. What can I do? They just put us in a middle school and then we didn't care. Those wounded eat thin food every day, and they can't eat thin food. We're not even beggars! ”

The soldiers around him all bowed their heads and had tears in their eyes. The people around them used to hate them to the core, but now they have more sympathy.

After listening to the captain's complaints, Chen Haotian's anger disappeared, and he was sad and indignant in his heart, and asked, "How many people are there besides you?" ”

The captain replied, "More than five hundred, and I am in charge of more than two hundred." Now they are all in the middle school in Yichang. ”

Chen Haotian patted the captain twice, apologized, and then said, "You go back first, I will find a way not to break Mr. Lu's rules." ”

"Yes, sir."

The captain saluted, and then led his men out of the ticket office. At this time, Chen Haotian was extremely uncomfortable, the Chen family donated so much food to the national army, but they couldn't feed the children of the Sichuan army; Minsheng Shipping is the company of the Sichuan and Shu people, but it can't take away the disabled soldiers in their hometowns who fought for the country. This is the sorrow of the Sichuan army, and it is also a great irony.

Shao Fei could understand Chen Haotian's pain at this time, patted him on the shoulder from behind, and said, "I haven't eaten yet, come with me for a meal, and take the wind for me." ”

Chen Haotian understood what Shao Fei meant, so he took him and Xue Bing to a restaurant.

As soon as you enter the restaurant, it is noisy and overcrowded. In a corner, Shao Fei accidentally saw that the two were eating, Shao Fei was really startled, so he walked in front of the two.

One of the people who ate said, "I've been looking for you all along, but I didn't expect you to come to the door by yourself." ”

"Grandma, are you in such a hurry? I said I'll go to you when I'm done, do you want to run to Yichang? ”

"Aren't you afraid that your kid will run away with his daughter-in-law? I need you so much. ”

The man stood up, a malicious expression. This person is Zhao Hongfei, and it is Yi Ren who is doing it beside him. The current Zhao Hongfei is no longer the fat man he used to be, four months have passed since the separation, and it is not difficult to lose weight with his willpower.

Chen Haotian was confused and asked, "Do you know each other?" ”

Shao Fei didn't know how to introduce it, but replied perfunctorily: "Friend." ”

Chen Haotian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, listening to the conversation between them, as well as the unique expressions of Zhao Hongfei and Yi Renna, the decision between them is not as simple as friends.

So, at the invitation of Chen Haotian, the group went up to the second floor. After all, the crowd here is complicated, and it is not very convenient to speak.

On the second floor, five people came to a large round table and sat down. There is still Chen Haotian to do the east and order a few good dishes. There is no such noise here as the first floor, and there are some people with status sitting on it.

"This major general is really generous, thank you for your hospitality."

Zhao Hongfei spoke very naturally, not pretentious at all, and he didn't know what he had experienced in the past four months.

Chen Haotian replied politely: "Yi Ren's friend is also my friend, so don't be polite." ”

Chen Haotian's words made the real Yi Ren laugh, but he couldn't say anything.

At this time, Chen Haotian found two people sitting at the table by the window. One is the manager of the Yichang branch of Minsheng Shipping Company, and the other is the owner of a textile factory.

"Why are they here?"

"Who?"

Chen Haotian replied: "Tong Shaosheng, the manager of the Yichang branch of Minsheng Company, and Boss Zhao of the textile factory. ”

Zhao Hongfei said with a smile: "Do you still need to ask, it is difficult to get a vote now, it must be a private gift." By the way, what did you just say his name? ”

Chen Haotian replied: "Tong Shaosheng." ”

Zhao Hongfei's face became a little ugly, and he asked Shao Fei: "How is the relationship between Lu Zuofu and you?" ”

Shao Fei replied: "I call him Uncle Lu, what do you say?" ”

"I see that you really know a lot of big people, introduce me a few days ago."

As he spoke, Zhao Hongfei stood up and walked towards Tong Shaosheng's table.

Chen Haotian was a little worried and asked, "What is your friend going to do?" ”

"He's a cautious guy who never does impulsive things, and he's relieved."

As soon as Shao Fei's words fell, he saw Zhao Hongfei suddenly reach out and put his hand on the back of Tong Shaosheng's head, and then pressed it hard, directly pressing his head on the plate on the table. really slapped Shao Fei in the face.

Tong Shaosheng jumped up in fright, wiped the dishes on his face with his hands, and said angrily: "Who are you, what are you doing!?" Do you know who I am? I don't know what to live or die! ”

"Who? What I saw in front of my eyes was rubbish, staining my eyes and affecting my appetite. Give you three seconds, and it will disappear in front of my eyes immediately, or don't blame me for being rude! ”

As he spoke, Zhao Hongfei took out a pistol from his waist, pointed at Tong Shaosheng, and said angrily: "Get out!" ”

Tong Shaosheng was frightened and the boss left quickly, and at the top of the stairs, he pointed at Zhao Hongfei: "If you take the seed, just wait here." ”

After saying that, he ran down the stairs in a puff of smoke.

Zhao Hongfei's move made Shao Fei difficult to understand. He has always been calm, calculating the cause and effect of everything he does, and never doing impulsive or risky or purposeless things. However, this time, he made a big move for the people he had never met, and offended the local snakes in this area. What is he really for?
