Chapter 346
Mr. Zhang didn’t have much energy in the afternoon, and Su Chunjun visited him at 7:00 p.m., just as Mr. Zhang was waking up.
There was no ball today, and Mr. Zhang was sitting alone at the long table eating a meal of some sort.
Corn ballast congee, big steamed buns, fresh chili peppers fried with sauce, and a plate of steamed bacon.
Mr. Zhang ate and drank, ate very freely.
He said to Su Chunjun, who was sitting by the side, “You also drink a bowl? This porridge is especially smooth.”
Su Chunjun nodded, so the underlings served him a bowl as well.
Su Chunjun picked up the sugar jar on the table and added two spoons of sugar to the porridge, stirring it.
Mr. Zhang: “You like to drink sweet food.”
Su Chunjun smiled and said, “It’s a childhood habit to put sugar in porridge. My mom is from Suzhou.”
Zhang Gongzi: “The old man also had a concubine from Suzhou, who made sweet steamed buns, and she was very good at it.
Su Chunjun: “Meat is sweet to taste, sugar is very flavorful, everyone loves sweet.”
Mr. Zhang smiled, “Let’s not talk about that. At home, does your wife do the cooking, or do your subordinates?”
Su Chunjun: “My wife is very delicate, she doesn’t know how to do anything.”
Mr. Zhang: “Then you are not as lucky as me. At home, my wife cooks for me, and here, Xiao Zhao cooks one or two dishes for me every day.”
Su Chunjun: “Then you are still blessed.”
The two of them joked and laughed, not serious at all.
After finishing their meal, they switched to the living room and sat on the sofa, while Duke Zhang sighed with his tea.
Duke Zhang: “Xiao Su, I quite like you and don’t really want to make things difficult for you.”
Su Chunjun put down the tea cup: “Mr. Zhang, you say, you order is.”
Mr. Zhang: “People’s good business, hard can not be done, this reason, you have to return to others. I’m not asking people to lose money, so apologize and get over it, OK?”
Su Chunjun: “Mr. Zhang, this has nothing to do with my wife. Japanese ship, Japanese Chamber of Commerce Suzuki’s wife, from beginning to end, it’s all a Japanese bureau, how can we blame it on our own people?”
Mr. Zhang grunted less happily and put down his teacup, “Don’t you fool me with words. That Mrs. Suzuki is with your wife every day, as good as one.”
Su Chunjun: “My wife flatters the Japanese, this is for my sake, but it can’t be said that she can sway the Japanese by flattering them, she doesn’t have that much skill. Mr. Zhang, you have also met my wife, she is still so young, she married me before she graduated from university, do you think she can have that much ability?”
Mr. Zhang: “I didn’t ask your wife to come over either, didn’t I ask you? Can’t you go apologize to the others?”
Su Chunjun: “Since Mr. Zhang must ask me to apologize, I will apologize. When? I’ll personally invite him.”
Duke Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, “You guys can arrange this yourselves, don’t let people always make a lot of noise. Foreigners are still around, letting foreigners see our jokes? Let’s not quarrel amongst our own people.”
Su Chunjun made a helpless face.
Zhang Gongzi: “I know you are not to blame for this one. But he is in industry and will make money, we all need their money.” He knocked on the table once, “You’ve suffered a loss this time, I know, so how about this, let his factory donate a batch of military clothes to you every year? Money isn’t even worth anything nowadays, and it’s still somewhat useful when you exchange it for something. If you don’t want the military clothes, but want something else, then you can come to me for the New Year, and I’ll make the decision for him to give it to you.” He patted Su Chunjun’s knee, “As parents, we sometimes have to turn a blind eye, and don’t be too calculating when there are benefits to be gained.”
Su Chunjun promised well, went back to find the police force, that night stopped the sugar factory director’s car, brought people back to the police station.
Once the man was locked up, the sugar factory was considered to be a fly without a head.
This person here to do business with no family, only the newly married a few aunts in the home to play cards, learned that the master disappeared, a few aunts even ran two. The rest do not dare to run do not know where to go to save.
Or he brought the old man from his hometown, also working in the factory, found that people are missing, the family is a mess, ask around and can not hear the news, even people with the car is missing, after seven or eight days before wrapped in a bag of gold begged to the door of Zhang Gongzi.
Mr. Zhang learned of this matter in the past four or five days.
As soon as he heard on the teacups fell, to Miss Zhao cursed: “You see these people ah, face to face promised well, turn back to the people to be arrested, this is half a month, people are afraid of early broken. He took my words as a whisper ah.”
Ms. Zhao: “A strong dragon can’t suppress a snake in the ground, and he is a snake in the ground. Not that I’m saying, that person is also too bold, but a small thing just have to let you out to press people, is your face that cheap?”
Duke Zhang dropped his cup and stopped getting angry, sat down and said, “My face isn’t cheap, but it’s not expensive either. I also want to see what kind of goods this Su Chunjun is.”
Ms. Zhao laughed, “I knew you weren’t really angry. You haven’t done this kind of thing yourself, whoever dares to sue you, you’d have arrested them and shot them long ago.”
Mr. Zhang laughed a little and called for his adjutant, “Go, see if that person still has a life, if so, let the police station release him.”
Ms. Zhao: “You just said that the person is feared to be gone, what are you telling the person to run again.”
Mr. Zhang: “If Su Chunjun is smart enough, he will definitely not beat the person to death, as long as the person is not dead, this is not a big deal, and I can only laugh about it.”
The adjutant went to collect the person, and sure enough, the person was still alive, just suffering a lot.
The adjutant brought the man back to Zhang Gongfu.
As soon as the man saw Duke Zhang, he burst into tears and cried for help, saying that someone was trying to kill him.
Duke Zhang sighed: “Who told you to offend people indiscriminately? Strong dragons don’t suppress snakes, I can press people to give you soft, they can also arrest you, tell me, who suffered a big loss?”
The man was dumbfounded and cried, “Mr. Zhang, you have to decide for me!”
Zhang Gongzi: “I can only call him to apologize to you again, but I can’t beat him up too.”
Zhang Gongzi called Su Chunjun, pointing at the man on the ground, “Look, look, I asked you to apologize to others, and you made him like this?”
Su Chunjun’s face was heavy: “Aiya, I don’t know about this. Sir, who hurt you? Do you know the name? As long as you say it, I will definitely seek justice for you!”
How would that man dare to say? He trembled at the sight of Su Chunjun.
Duke Zhang: “Alas, I thought you were a soft touch, but I didn’t expect you to be an official oiler. You can’t get this skill without a few hundred years of family tradition.”
He waved his hand and the subordinates helped the man down.
Duke Zhang: “Now even if you apologize, he wouldn’t dare to accept it.”
Su Chunjun laughed, “I know it’s Duke Zhang who favors me.”
Duke Zhang sneered, “I favored you? Favor a Japanese lackey?”
Su Chunjun’s face changed and he said softly, “Being seven feet long, I dare not forget my country.”
Duke Zhang poured two cups of wine and handed him one, and the two gently touched it and drank it together.
Duke Zhang put down the cup and laughed, patting Su Chunjun’s shoulder and saying, “Bring your wife over next time, such a witty woman, I’d love to get to know her!”
