Chapter 237: Xiao Long Fell in Love

At this moment I asked Shi Yong: "Shi Yong, what did you say to Kong Xiangju that he obediently followed you to the restroom?"

Shi Yong laughed lightly and said: "Brother, dealing with this kid Kong Xiangju, I have more than enough. I know what this kid wants. Because I've known him for a long time. He has been asking me to help him find people who cheat,"

His love for gambling is well-known, but his gambling skills are terrible,

He loses nine out of ten bets. Therefore, he heard that someone made a fortune by cheating. I once told him I know a Northeasterner who has practiced cheating techniques; he is a famous gambling god in the Northeast.

He has already promised to teach him gambling skills.

So, after I met him, I told him that the Northeasterner was waiting for him in the restroom. I took him to pay respects as a disciple.

This kid didn't think twice and just followed me. Those Northeasterners then seized him, stuffed him into a box, and took him away."

I said, when I arranged for Shi Yong, Shi Yong didn't care at all.

I thought Shi Yong wasn't serious about his work, so I had Xiao Long follow him, fearing Shi Yong might make a mistake.

I never expected that this guy already had confidence in his heart.

After listening to Shi Yong finish, Shangguan Zhuren laughed and said: "Shi Yong is indeed a brave and resourceful warrior. You have achieved great merit this time; where was that Kong Xiangju sent?"

Shi Yong laughed and said: "Thank you, Shangguan Zhuren's praise.

Being able to receive your praise, I, Shi Yong, can also feel proud for once.

That Kong Xiangju was taken by those Northeasterners onto a boat. The boat is moored at the center of Shanghu Lake,

This way he cannot escape; he can only eat and live on the boat.

Upon hearing Shi Yong say that,

Shangguan Zhuren said: "It's right to let this kid suffer a bit.

For now, we shouldn't ask him.

We've already got him in our hands. Right, Shi Yong, you can ask Mao Hai for money. Don't let us work for nothing."

"Okay, Shangguan Zhuren, tomorrow I'll have Mao Hai ask Niu Ju for money." Shi Yong said happily.

Shangguan Zhuren then looked at me and said: "Jianqiang, next it's your turn to appear. You should go talk with Niu Ju."

I smiled and said: "Okay, I've been waiting eagerly. I've been missing Niu Ju."

Shangguan Zhuren said: "It's best for you to meet Niu Ju as just the two of you,

and the meeting should be secret. Do you have any good ideas?"

I said: "I've thought about this; going directly to Niu Ju's office won't work, and trying to lure him out won't work either.

There is one person who can lure Niu Ju out for us to meet; I've already thought of him."

"Who?" Shangguan Zhuren asked.

"The Bank Manager." I replied.

"Are you thinking of asking the Bank Manager for that sum of money?" Shangguan Zhuren asked.

I smiled and said: "Yes, I want that fifty million. He colluded with Niu Ju and Kang Yali to embezzle the money,

I will definitely make him spit it out, but not now.

We need his help; only he can contact Niu Ju,

to get Niu Ju to come out alone."

"Then when are you going to Huaihai?" Shangguan Zhuren asked.

"Tomorrow morning. I've already opened an account at Huaihai Bank and deposited money there.

"Tomorrow I'll take Xiao Long there; then we'll go meet that Bank Manager." I said.

"That works; let's leave it at that. It's getting late, we should all rest soon." Shangguan Zhuren arranged.

Xiao Long said: "Grandpa, who is the Bank Manager?"

I said: "He's a smiling tiger. We'll have a good meeting with him tomorrow. First, rest; you've all been tired today."

Xiao Long happily said: "Grandpa, I feel this is much more interesting than working at the police station. At the police station all day it's just petty theft and squabbles, plus women arguing; I get a headache every day."

Shi Yong said: "Your grandpa brought you here to do big business, you know? Our affairs have only just begun.

When we succeed, Xiao Long, think about it—you'll have countless beautiful women around you…."

"Alright, Shi Yong, hurry up and sleep; Xiao Long, don't listen to your Uncle Yong's nonsense."

I said to Xiao Long.

Xiao Long laughed and went back to his room to sleep,

we also hurried back to rest.

I believe that if we sleep soundly tonight, someone will be unable to sleep.

Time quickly came to the next morning; Shi Yong went to contact Mao Hai to ask Niu Ju for money.

Our side also began to act,

I had Xiao Long drive the car, taking me to Huaihai.

Halfway there, Xiao Long's phone rang.

Xiao Long glanced at it, then stopped the car to answer; it was a girl calling.

I deliberately got out of the car to make it convenient for Xiao Long to chat with the girl.

After I walked around outside,

Xiao Long had already finished the call,

I got back in the car, looked at Xiao Long, and directly asked: "Xiao Long, whose call was that just now? Was it your girlfriend?"

Xiao Long smiled embarrassedly,

"Grandpa, I guess so; we've only just met not long ago."

"What's her name, where is she from, and where does she work?" I asked.

"Grandpa, her name is Fang Rui; she works in the emergency department of the Provincial Capital Hospital. I met her through Nurse Lin; she and Nurse Lin are university classmates. Her hometown is Shanghu. We are about the same age. Grandpa, I've told you everything I know." Xiao Long said.

After Xiao Long finished speaking,

I laughed,

"Xiao Long, it's normal for young people to fall in love. At your age, it's the time to fall in love, and I also hope you can find a suitable girlfriend, not like Sun Dajun's reckless love."

I care about you because I'm afraid you'll meet those unsavory girls, which would cause trouble. As long as this girl has a decent job, I'll feel much more at ease.

Since you two are already in love, you should treat each other sincerely.

Finding a good wife is something you don't know how important it is; a good wife can bring happiness for three generations.

If the girl is gentle and kind, and always cares for you, that's good; a girl who doesn't care about wealth or family status is a good girl.

"Did you tell her about your family?"

Xiao Long shook his head,

"Grandfather, I haven't talked with her about our families. I originally wanted to tell my parents. But my family suddenly had this happen, so I don't want to tell her."

"Grandfather, I suddenly want to break up with her because I'm not worthy of being with her now. Just now, I rejected her over the phone, hoping we won't contact each other temporarily."

After hearing Xiao Long's words, I looked at his expression; he was clearly reluctant. Yes, Li Ming was arrested, so Xiao Long's intern identity is gone too, meaning he's lost both his job and family.

How can we talk about dating a girl from the provincial capital? We basically have no ability. If Li Ming were on stage, our Da Heng Group wouldn't have changed; believing Xiao Long could find such a girl would be setting the bar too low. Now things are truly different.

Love and marriage are different. Love is free love, but marriage emphasizes matching families.

Because the union of two people is the union of two families, and even involves two clans.

If the two families differ too greatly in status, it's easy to cause conflict.

A poor family's daughter should not enter a rich household; a rich family's daughter should not seek a poor young man.

These are all mistaken marriages. They can only bring pain to both sides.

The ancients have already verified this, which is why they said the phrase "matching families."
