Wei Jie
Chapter 1120 Live and Let Live
Nine-thirty in the evening, in the bar's office.
Wei Xiangzuo was alone, sitting on an expensive rosewood grandmaster's chair, one hand playing with a sandalwood bracelet, the other holding the company's ledger, flipping through it page by page.
Freshly brewed tea was placed on the coffee table in front of him, and the refreshing aroma of tea wafted through the office.
The soundproofing in the entire office was excellent, and it was very quiet in Wei Xiangzuo's office. But downstairs in the bar, all kinds of frenzied music were playing, and a group of young people were drinking, partying, and dancing.
Just then, the door of the bar downstairs was suddenly pushed open, and seven or eight people walked in.
The leader was about thirty-five or six years old and very burly. He wore a tight-fitting short-sleeved t-shirt that outlined his well-developed muscles; his lower body was clad in light blue jeans, and his legs were thick and strong, making him look like a young bull.
This man was Da Lao Wang, working for Lu Guangwei. Surrounded by seven or eight people, he went straight to a more secluded booth and sat down.
A waiter came over, and one of Da Lao Wang's men casually ordered some drinks and sent him away.
Soon, another fourteen or fifteen young men walked in from outside, scattered among the crowd. After they came in, they all nodded to Da Lao Wang, then found their own seats and began to drink and chat.
"Bang!"
At the booth, a follower opened a bottle of red wine and poured it into Da Lao Wang's glass. Da Lao Wang spread his legs wide, half-reclined casually in the booth, scanned the room, and took two sips of wine.
At the same time, the bar manager in a suit walked over with a smile, stood in front of Da Lao Wang, and bent down to say to him, "Brother Wang, what brings you here today?"
Seeing the manager, Da Lao Wang sat up slightly and said with a smile, "Heh, nothing, just came to sit for a while."
The manager nodded, "Okay, then you sit, I'll send you two bottles of wine in a while."
"Heh, you're too kind," Da Lao Wang nodded to him.
After the manager finished speaking, he left, instructed the waiter to send two bottles of red wine to Da Lao Wang's booth, and then walked upstairs to the bar.
…
At this time, in the office upstairs, Wei Xiangzuo took a sip of tea and continued to look through the ledger.
Wei Xiangzuo now manages a lot of industries for the association, almost all over Dragon City. He usually doesn't have much to do, just walks around, looks at the accounts, and checks on the operation of the venues.
"Knock knock knock!"
The office door was suddenly knocked on, and the manager gently pushed the door open and walked in.
The moment the door opened, the music from outside poured into the office, and Wei Xiangzuo frowned slightly.
The manager quickly closed the door, blocking the noise from downstairs, and hurried to Wei Xiangzuo, whispering in his ear, "Mr. Wei... Da Lao Wang, who runs errands for the garrison, is here."
Wei Xiangzuo didn't even look up, and casually asked, "Which Da Lao Wang?"
"It's like this," the manager explained in detail, "There's a guy who runs errands for the garrison named Lu Guangwei. He's a relative of the Jiang family and is in charge of ground-level matters. That Da Lao Wang is Lu Guangwei's man."
Hearing this, Wei Xiangzuo still didn't look up, but frowned again and said in a low voice, "Are they the ones dealing with gold bricks?"
The manager nodded, "Yes, it's them. I don't know why, but they suddenly came here today, and there are quite a few of them."
Wei Xiangzuo thought for a moment and said, "Call him up here."
"Okay," the manager immediately left the office.
Wei Xiangzuo continued to play with his bracelet, flipping through the ledger.
…
Ten minutes later, Da Lao Wang walked up to the second floor with his hands in his pockets, striding with a splayed gait and a straight back, following the manager.
Arriving in front of the office on the second floor, the manager stopped and pointed to the door, saying, "Mr. Wei is inside."
"Okay." Hearing this, Da Lao Wang immediately took his hands out of his pockets, and his back also bent slightly.
The manager knocked on the office door, led Da Lao Wang in, and said to Wei Xiangzuo, who was sitting in the grandmaster's chair, "Mr. Wei, he's here."
"Mm," Wei Xiangzuo responded softly, continuing to flip through the ledger.
Da Lao Wang lightened his steps, walked in, and respectfully said to Wei Xiangzuo, "Mr. Wei, you were looking for me?"
Wei Xiangzuo put down the ledger, looked at Da Lao Wang, and said indifferently, "Come, please sit down."
"Okay, okay," Da Lao Wang bent over, sat on the sofa opposite him, with a smile on his face.
Wei Xiangzuo picked up the teapot, poured another cup of tea, and casually said, "There are cigarettes on the table, brother."
Da Lao Wang immediately replied, "Thank you, Mr. Wei."
Wei Xiangzuo looked at the tense Da Lao Wang, couldn't help but smile and asked, "Heh, what are you doing here, any business?"
"Heh, no," Da Lao Wang waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to find someone. But don't worry, I promise not to cause you any trouble!"
Wei Xiangzuo didn't say anything, just took a sip of tea. Da Lao Wang felt a little uncomfortable and sat on the sofa without speaking.
After a while, Wei Xiangzuo put down his teacup, played with his bracelet, and said slowly, "I'll just tell you two things. First, don't cause trouble in my territory. Second, I don't care what kind of business you do, but you can't do it in Dragon City. This stuff is highly profitable, and if you do it, people will be jealous. If my brothers want to do it, should I let them or not?"
Da Lao Wang immediately replied, "Understood, understood, I will definitely not cause you any trouble. And we don't distribute this stuff in the district, we sell it all to those old Mexicans."
Wei Xiangzuo nodded lightly, "Okay, then that's all, you can go."
"Okay, okay," Da Lao Wang smiled and stood up, politely saying to Wei Xiangzuo, "You rest, I won't disturb you."
After speaking, Da Lao Wang turned to leave, and Wei Xiangzuo waved his hand, saying to the manager standing aside, "Xiao Liu, I'll buy their bill."
"Okay, Mr. Wei," the manager nodded.
"Oh, thank you!" Da Lao Wang thanked him repeatedly, was polite for a long time, and finally left the office.
After Da Lao Wang left, Wei Xiangzuo continued to pick up the ledger and look through it.
Dragon City is so big, everyone knows each other very well. Wei Xiangzuo knew what these people were doing, but he couldn't control it. The garrison's military expenditure had been cut, and it didn't affect him if they secretly did some business.
Now in Dragon City, whether it's the Dragon City garrison or the people on the ground, everyone minds their own business.
…
Downstairs in the bar, the door was pushed open, and a strong bald young man, with a girl in his arms, swaggered in.
The bald young man also had a layer of white paint brushed on his forehead, which was particularly dazzling under the bar's lights.
