Chapter 180: Just a clown
Since the sale of Daqi Bank to the imperial court, the Orchid Investment and Development Bank, founded by the original team of Daqi Bank, has changed its location.
The new address is on the street opposite Tingfeng Tower. In the words of the founder He Yunxiao, this is called convenient business dealings.
In fact, Tingfeng Tower and Orchid Investment and Development Bank do have business dealings. At least they have business dealings with He Yunxiao.
During his time in the New Chu Army, He Yunxiao borrowed a lot of money from Tingfeng Tower around Yinjing City. After returning to Yinjing City, he did not intend to let Nangong Yuer's brother, his "pending brother-in-law", go. He shamelessly borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from the owner of Tingfeng Tower in Yinjing City.
In this way, after all the calculations, He Yunxiao owed almost 300,000 taels of silver to Tingfeng Towers in various parts of Qi State so far. 50,000 taels more than he sold Daqi Bank.
However, most of this money was spent on the New Chu Army, and he currently only has 100,000 taels that he just borrowed from Nangong's brother-in-law.
Together with the 250,000 taels from the sale of Daqi Bank, the start-up capital of the Orchid Investment and Development Bank is as much as 350,000 taels. This amount is richer than the Wuqing Marquis Mansion. Of course, it is also more negative than the Marquis Mansion.
Du Yinyun is still the female president of the Orchid Investment and Development Bank.
According to He Yunxiao's request, she focused on the "high-profit zone" and acquired many luxury stores with poor business in Yinjing in the past few days. For example, stores selling rouge, aromatherapy, jewelry, jade ornaments and other items.
This morning, Sister Du went to work from the Fan Mansion as usual.
Although Wu Qinghou came to visit, Wu Qinghou visited the father and daughter of the Fan family and had nothing to do with the Du family. Du Yinyun and He Yuanhao exchanged a few words and went out to the Orchid Bank.
When He Yunxiao was away, Sister Du's travel and safety were taken care of by Pang Ce, the younger brother of Pang Jian, the former leader of the Short Knife Gang.
Although Pang Ce only had an eighth-grade cultivation, he was loyal.
With the number of times He Yunxiao visited Du's sister, Pang Ce, as the security captain of President Du, inevitably realized something.
Between his teacher Fan Ziruo and the new gang leader He Yunxiao, Pang Ce, under the guidance of his brother Pang Jian, chose to side with the new gang leader and sold out Teacher Fan.
In Pang Jian's words: What do you care about the gang leader? What he does is his family's business, and you, an outsider, should not interfere. Do your own thing well, and the gang leader will not treat you unfairly.
Pang Ce deeply believed it.
After the short knife army came back, his brothers directly expanded from the original ten to a hundred, and there were even ninth-grade masters among them.
It is a rare thing for the eighth grade to guide the ninth grade. This also means that he, Pang Ce, has been reused by the gang leader. The key is self-evident.
Outside the Fan Mansion, the servants of the He Mansion were moving things back and forth in the mansion, while on the other side, Pang Ce was leading a carriage waiting for his boss.
Du Yinyun didn't like to be high-profile, so there were not many people who sent her to work every time. There were only three or five attendants. Pang Ce actually placed more people not far away from the wall.
Pang Ce waited for a while, and Du Yinyun came out of Fan Mansion on time.
"Mr. Du."
Du Yinyun had no expression, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Pang Ce quickly lifted the curtain and said: "It's not hard, sir, please."
No words along the way.
Sister Du just got off the car, and the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion arrived.
He Yunxiao pulled Jiang Wuyou off the carriage and said directly to Du Yinyun: "Yinyun, there is something important, go in and talk."
Du Yinyun knew it was about proposing marriage without thinking, and immediately said: "Okay."
The three entered the Orchid Bank, and He Yunxiao couldn't wait to say: "Yinyun, there is not much time, you listen to Sister Jiang's plan first."
Du Yinyun turned her head to look at Jiang Wuyou, and Jiang Wuyou also said: "When I was doing intelligence for Yan State, the predecessors before said more than once that you should not underestimate the intelligence system of Qi State. The eldest princess is a Qi State official. She is a real person in power, and she has access to a lot of information. So, we should not try to hide anything from her. Otherwise, we may suffer the consequences. "
Du Yinyun was surprised: "We?"
"Yes." He Yunxiao continued: "I discussed with Wuyou and decided to play the empty city plan. According to Miss Li's character, she will never act easily before she understands the situation. So it is unlikely that she will face me or Ziruo directly. Instead, it is very likely that she will come to you or Sister Jiang to understand the situation. "
Du Yinyun nodded.
"At that time, there is no need to hide, but to exaggerate your sister's role, mislead Miss Li, and make her feel afraid. "
Du Yinyun understood. "You mean to exaggerate the opponent and make Miss Li cautious?"
"Yes." He Yunxiao nodded and said, "I'm not afraid that she will take a long-term view, but I'm afraid that she will go crazy and confront Ziruo face to face. Ziruo doesn't know about Miss Li yet. If she goes to confront, Ziruo will also make a fuss. We will be attacked from both sides, which will be too passive."
Jiang Du, the two heroines standing on He Yunxiao's side, nodded gently.
He Yunxiao looked at the reliable Youbao and Yunbao and was very relieved. Sister Jiang's strategy was indeed right. Use the heroine to fight the heroine! The heroines are not a monolithic entity. First divide and surround them, and then eat them one by one!
...
Meng Qingqian didn't change her clothes, and hurriedly got on the carriage to the Orchid Bank.
Only when she arrived did she realize that this was a busy city, and it was not appropriate for her to show up in a high profile.
"Jian Ling, go buy me a coat and a hat to cover my face."
Jian Ling nodded and went out to do things, and came back in a moment.
Meng Qingqian, wearing a conical hat and an ordinary coat, got out of the car and entered the Orchid Bank under the escort of Jian Ling and other guards.
Fortunately, the Orchid Bank had just opened and there were not many people, so the appearance of the eldest princess did not cause a sensation.
Meng Qingqian caught a maid and asked directly: "Where is Du Yinyun?"
Meng Bao's heroine halo flashed slightly, and the little maid with no magic resistance said directly. She confessed everything: "The boss is in the innermost room."
Meng Bao got the news and took Jian Ling to rush directly into the room of the Orchid Bank.
When she rushed to the door of the innermost room, Meng Qingqian suddenly stopped, and the sound of a woman's voice was faint in the air. She then looked at Jian Ling.
Jian Ling understood.
As a master, Jian Ling's five senses are much stronger than ordinary people. She can hear many sounds that ordinary people can't hear clearly.
Jian Ling heard the voice in the room, and repeated it to Meng Qingqian word by word: That Fan Ziruo, looks generous, but actually has a very deep mind. My sister and your son are marching outside, and my sister is responsible for taking care of their daily life, and what is she doing? Trying every possible way to keep your son at her place, not even leaving a mouthful of soup for your sister.
Although she didn't hear it with her own ears, Meng Bao immediately judged who was talking in the room with the information she had.
"March together" and "Du Yinyun's sister", the woman who was talking must be Jiang Wuyou.
Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun both came from Chunfeng Tower, and they had a friendship. There was no problem in claiming to be Du Yinyun's sister, and she was so skilled in complaining to Du Yinyun, which showed that she had been dissatisfied with Fan Ziruo for a long time. Du Yinyun lived under the same roof with Fan Ziruo, but she didn't refute for her best friend. From this point of view, the relationship between Du and Fan was also very subtle.
Meng Qingqian was anxious when she came, but after understanding Jiang and Du's attitudes, she was no longer anxious.
There were only six girls around He Yunxiao, and Chu Xiaoxiao was not old enough to count her. Among the remaining five girls, Nanzhu is her sister, so she is naturally on her side. In addition to Jiang and Du, who have complaints about Fan, there are four girls who can stand on her side. Fan Ziruo is the only one on her side.
When you have many supporters, you will have few supporters if you lose your way. Although Fan Ziruo didn't know how to trick the little bastard into getting engaged to her first, he is just a clown.
