He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 224 Golden Tiger

I met Jin Hu once, and last time I asked him for help; this time he asked me for help.

Wang Chen called early this morning, saying that Jin Hu wanted to meet me and asked me to do him a small favor. It wasn't company business, so after thinking it over, I decided to come to the teahouse instead.

Early in the morning, Xiaoqi took me to Wu Yingrong's building.

"Three cups of soy milk and three servings of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)."

Xiaoqi kept one portion for herself and handed the remaining two to me.

I carried breakfast upstairs.

The door opened before I even knocked.

"Oh, we're on the same wavelength! Come in, eat and then leave."

"Why are you still wearing your pajamas...?"

"Women need beauty sleep, you know? You woke me up so early in the morning, you've ruined my sleep."

"Then thank you..."

Entering the house,

Change shoes

They were very familiar with the process.

Wu Yingrong didn't change out of her pajamas and just sat across from me, eating in a cool and breezy manner.

Subconsciously, I looked into the room and onto the balcony. Well, there was only one woman's belongings there.

"What are you worried about?"

"Isn't Qiu Zhanyu coming here?"

"He won't come. He only knows I bought a house, but he doesn't know where it is."

???

"What kind of operation is this? What do you guys usually do...?"

"You mean, go to bed with him?"

Wu Yingrong spoke quite bluntly to me: "Do you think everyone is like your big boss, just wandering around all day? Ever since he was promoted to deputy director, Qiu Zhanyu has been having drinking parties every night. You have to wait in line to invite him. Where does he find the time to waste on women?"

I touched my nose: "Why do you make it sound like I'm wasting my time on frivolous pursuits? I feel like I'm working pretty hard."

Wu Yingrong: "You know what, Qiu Zhanyu is quite charming when he's working seriously. The fact that I agreed to let him be my sugar daddy back then was partly because he's handsome."

"anthomaniac!"

"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

"Nothing, just curiosity."

"Heh, he can't even handle his own wife, how could he have the energy to spend time with me?"

That piqued my interest.

"Could you elaborate?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and eat, then we're leaving."

Wu Yingrong finished her soy milk in one gulp, then stared at me, sticking out her tongue to wipe a drop of soy milk from the corner of her mouth. Seeing this warmed my heart, reminding me of that morning at the hotel.

The woman returned to the bedroom without closing the door. Without any hesitation, she took off her already see-through lace nightgown and threw it on the bed. Then, she took out a cheongsam from a drawer and put it on in front of me, bit by bit. After that, she took out stockings and put them on her feet, painted her toenails dark red, and slowly rolled them up until they were above her knees and up to her thighs.

Very tender, very white.

"Tch, coward, why won't you come in?"

I straightened my posture: "I am Liu Xiahui."

Wu Yingrong walked up to me with her back to me. I knew how to do this problem, so I helped her zip up her jacket.

"I have a friend who wears a cheongsam every day, just like you. Isn't it tiring?"

"girlfriend?"

"lover."

"You rascal, I knew you wouldn't be honest."

"She was my high school classmate. She just came back from abroad. We only got in touch in May of this year. I originally thought it was just a one-night stand, but we ended up together by chance."

"Tianyi, sometimes I really don't understand you. You have a lover, and you're a normal man, so why are you so reserved in front of me?"

I remained silent; I usually don't answer these kinds of questions.

Going out,

boarding.

Arrive at the teahouse.

"Hehe, Maybach is so comfortable to sit in."

"Why don't you buy yourself a car? We're moving to the East District soon, and it's quite far."

"Once things start over there, I'll sell this house and buy a new one nearby. This one is too big, and I'm not comfortable living here alone."

"Then I'll come keep you company when I'm free."

I had a sharp tongue, and as soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted them.

Wu Yingrong tapped my nose with her finger: "You're all talk, when are you going to do something practical?"

When Jin Hu arrived, it was as if he had saved my life.

"Brother Tiger, please have a seat. This is Boss Wu; this place belongs to her."

Jin Hu glanced around as he entered. This place in the urban village was indeed a hidden gem.

"Hello, Mr. Wu."

"Come and sit down."

Wu Yingrong brewed some tea, and Jin Hu and I chatted casually about promoting blind boxes. To our surprise, it worked quite well.

"Brother Tiger, Wang Chen didn't explain things to me in detail on the phone this morning, so I'll have to trouble you to explain it again. Boss Wu happens to be here, and even though I'm not capable, he might be able to solve it for you."

Jin Hu is the eldest brother. I invited him to this kind of place, and he knew exactly what was going on as soon as he walked in. He knows the rules very well.

"I used to be involved in the underworld for a few years, then I cleaned up my act and went into the KTV business. Now I've switched to making short dramas. Almost ten years have passed. Last week, the municipal bureau suddenly called me and asked me to give a statement. They were asking me about some old, trivial things from 10 years ago."

Neither of us were new to society, so after Jin Hu finished explaining, Wu Yingrong and I knew what was going on.

"Have you contacted anyone?"

"I contacted my former boss, but he retired two years ago. It didn't work; he couldn't point me in the right direction."

"Looks like someone's got their eye on your business."

Jin Hu nodded: "The key is that it's been a week and they still haven't drawn a line. I can pay the money, but I'm scared if they try to kill me. The city bureau's first brigade summoned me. I asked someone to pass on a message to meet with them, but I haven't received a reply yet."

"Did you have any expectations?"

"What else can I do? They've already made their move. I'm just fish on the chopping block. Let them name their price. As long as I get a bite to eat, that's fine. I've saved up enough money anyway."

Wu Yingrong and I exchanged a glance.

"Tiger, have some tea."

We chatted casually for a few more minutes.

"Boss Wu, this place has a really nice environment, but I wonder if strangers are allowed in."

"Hehe, Mr. Jin is joking. How could the people Tianyi brought be strangers? We're here to do business. If you want to have tea in the future, you can come anytime."

"Alright, I'll come here often in the future."

As he spoke, Jin Hu stood up to examine the teas on the display shelf, finally choosing the aged red envelope tea: "How much is this tea?"

20.

"The price is fair."

Jin Hu paid the bill, and I saw him to the door.

"Brother, you have to help me out. To put it bluntly, our short drama is still airing about blind box characters. If the boss changes, you'll suffer losses too."

"I know what I'm doing, Tiger. I still remember how kind you were by not charging me much for promoting the short drama. This time, I'll try my best to make it up to you."

"Good brother."

Go back inside and sit down.

Wu Yingrong had just put down her phone.

"How's it going? Easy enough?"

"The details of the matter are still unclear. The city bureau's first brigade summoned him, and someone happened to have bought a card here. I've already made an appointment by phone; he'll be here in a bit."

"Highly efficient!"

"Jin Hu's former superiors were unwilling to get involved. Retirement was part of the reason, but it also indirectly proved how difficult the matter was."

"If it can be done, then do it; if it can't be done, then forget it."

Wu Yingrong looked at me with surprise: "You have connections in the provincial department, I thought you were going to say that if I couldn't handle it, I'd let you handle it?"
