Chapter 111 Is this photo you?(1/2)
Winter winter winter...
"Boss Zhao, there is a customer outside the door looking for you." The waiter who delivered the message came to the door of the accounting room.
But he was quickly beaten back by the impatient shouts coming from inside.
"Didn't I tell you already? It's useless for those strangers to come to me again. Once our equipment embryos are sold, there is no refund policy!"
"No, Boss Zhao, he is not a stranger this time. He seems to be from the Guili... fleet? Are you sure he can't see you either?"
As soon as the clerk finished his explanation, the crackling sound of accounting in the room stopped for a moment, and then turned into exclamations.
"What...what!" Zhao Jie rushed to the door, secretly opened the door a crack, and asked the waiter to come in quickly.
"Please tell me clearly, what is the returning fleet?"
This was the first time that the clerk saw his boss look so panicked, as if something big had happened, which made him nervous and stammered:
"That's right, not long ago, a group of people who claimed to be returning from the fleet arrived at Sakuragi Island. It seemed that they happened to meet a stranger on the shore. I heard from the stranger that there were actually people in Sakuragi Island. I’m doing business on Mujima, so I wanted to come over here, get to know you, the boss, and also buy some supplies.”
"Huh...that's it..." Zhao Jie took a long breath after hearing what the guy said, and finally felt a little relieved.
When he heard that the returning fleet was coming to him, the first reaction in his mind was to collect debts.
Now it seems that I may have overthought it.
Thinking about it, although I owe a lot of money, I haven't reached the point where I can send a fleet to go to sea to capture him across the country, right?
But just in case, Zhao Jie asked further:
"Did they give their names?"
"I told you, what is it called...Northern Cross?" The clerk scratched his head uncertainly.
But as a native of Guili, Zhao Jie dispelled his last worries when he heard the name.
Northern Cross!
This was a fleet that had already made a name for itself when he was still returning home. It was rumored that they often performed chivalrous acts on the sea, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. There were even storytellers among the people who even wrote the Northern Cross as story.
Of course, the reason why Zhao Jie is completely reassured is that, as we all know, Northern Cross is an armed fleet that is not controlled by any government and belongs to an independent force.
Zhao Jie clearly remembered that there were still many officials from the Five Elements in Guili back then who advocated the consolidation or annihilation of the Northern Cross. The reason was that such unofficial armed forces could not be allowed to roam around, which once made the situation of the Northern Cross very worrying.
I didn’t expect that after so many years, Northern Cross could still persist until now. It’s really a miracle.
"Please invite them in quickly."
After getting Zhao Jie's permission, the waiter left. After a while, there was a burst of brisk footsteps from outside the door.
Nan did not bring the other Northern Cross crew members, let alone the players, but came to see Zhao Jie alone.
While the two parties were chatting briefly at the door, a certain wolf cub who arrived in advance used his paw to poke the butt of the sparrow that he had caught a long time ago.
Under coercion and inducement, Liao Zixuan successfully let Xin Yan act as his eavesdropping device. The little sparrow ducked and flew into the house through the gap in the open window of Zhao Jie's room.
"So, Mr. Zhao Jie, your production lines on Sakuragi Island have only been put into operation not long ago?" Nan pretended to chat with Zhao Jie while walking into the house and quietly closing the door.
From the moment she saw Zhao Jie's face, Nan was already sure that she had found the target entrusted to her by Zhao Yu'er.
However, before the showdown, Nan still wanted to help Zhao Yu'er test it out. She, a father who abandoned his wife and daughter, felt out the other party's background.
Once Zhao Jie is really a person with corrupt morals, extremely bad character, and greedy for profit, then Nan will make his own decision and give up on bringing Zhao Jie back to the house, pretending that nothing has happened.
In this regard, Nan had no hesitation, because she believed that it was Zhao Yuer who knew her and knew that she would do this, so she specially found her to do this commission.
After all, once family ties are involved, no matter how powerful a person is, they will lose their judgment. This is where a "friend" like her should come into play.
The Northern Cross is now living a very relaxed life in Guili, and Nan doesn't want to go back to the days a few years ago when she was being chased and yelled at by the Five Elements.
Therefore, whether it is emotional or rational, she must protect Zhao Yu'er and never let a scum father ruin a young girl who should have unlimited possibilities.
Ah, but the reality is obviously not so heavy yet.
Even more optimistic than Nan imagined.
Combined with the entrepreneurial experience that Zhao Jie was talking about to her at the moment, as well as Nan's private interviews with some chamber of commerce workers in advance, or the most simple and straightforward observation of the mental state of the chamber of commerce clerks along the way, Zhao Jie, the boss,
They all have a very good score in Nan's heart.
He does not engage in illegal activities, never bullies workers, the system of rewards and punishments within the chamber of commerce is clear, and the regulations are clear. All these factors allow Nan to vaguely see the shadow of Zhao Yu'er in the middle-aged uncle across from him.
"So Mr. Nan, you understand, even though we have just been established, everything is very complete. The strangers are full of praise for our equipment. Almost everyone is a repeat customer. In our case,
In front of the forged equipment, you can't control your own hands at all!"
"Since we are so lucky today, the famous Northern Cross can come to our Sakuragi Island, and it has also allowed me to marry a hero and heroine like you. I, Zhao Jie, bleed a lot and regard it as a celebration! This trip
Mr. Nan, no matter how much equipment and supplies you order from us, we will give you a 30% discount on the price! I, Zhao Jie, said so!"
oh.
And her sales skills are the same as when she first met Zhao Yu'er, that poor little girl...
Nan shook her head, retracted her memories, and ignored Zhao Jie who was still telling her various offers to seduce her into handing over the equipment order for the Northern Cross. Nan interrupted directly:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr. Zhao Jie, I admire you for going abroad to do business and expanding our market overseas, but I am a little curious. What about your family?
Have you come to Qiandao together?"
"Ah!? Oh, this..." Zhao Jie suddenly lost the fluency he had in his sales pitch just now.
He hesitated for two or three seconds and then said with a smile: "Yes, that's right, I also brought them to Qiandao, but of course I can't let them follow me to Sakuragi Island. It's too dangerous, so now they are here
It’s on Yueyuan Island.”
"Master Nan, why did you... suddenly mention this?" Zhao Jie had some bad premonitions in his heart, and he quickly started to probe.
"It's no harm. It's just that I suddenly remembered that a commission we received at Northern Cross was to find a businessman who abandoned his wife and daughter and escaped from debt overseas."
As Nan spoke, he looked at Zhao Jie with a smile, while the middle-aged man opposite him had a pale face, and he was so frightened that he stood up from his chair.
Nan ignored Zhao Jie, took a leisurely sip of tea on the table, and continued:
"And Mr. Zhao Jie, do you know what is even more coincidental? The name of the businessman written on the commission is exactly the same as yours, word for word!"
The room suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Big beads of sweat streaked down Zhao Jie's cheeks.
But Zhao Jie reacted very quickly. It can be said that after the shock, he realized that this was not Guili, but Qiandao, Sakuragi Island. This was his son-in-law's territory, and rounding it off was his territory!
Don't be afraid!
There is nothing to be afraid of!
Zhao Jie suddenly gained courage when he thought of this.
"Oh? There is such a coincidence. Lord Nan, don't worry. I, Zhao Jie, still have some connections in Thousand Islands. If I find a returnee with the same name as me, I will notify Northern Cross as soon as possible."
Ah.
Pretty thick-skinned.
After Nan smiled inwardly, before Zhao Jie could speak again, he took out a scroll from his waist.
"Is this...?" Zhao Jie's heart skipped a beat.
"I forgot to tell Boss Zhao. At that time, the commission also came with a photo of the escaped businessman taken with a photo camera. Although Nan did wear an eye patch and could only see with one eye, I always felt that
, this photo is somewhat similar to you, Boss Zhao."
"Come on, Boss Zhao, your eyesight is pretty good, unlike me. Come and see, is that you up there?"
Nan stood up as he spoke, and slowly opened the film in front of Zhao Jie, revealing a man inside who was not exactly the same as Zhao Jie, but could at least be said to be 70-80% similar.
Zhao Jie recognized it at a glance. This was a photo he had taken in a photo studio more than 20 years ago, when Myolie was not yet born. The person in the picture was exactly him when he was young.
but...
"How about it, is this photo of you?"
"not me."
"Not you?" Nan repeated with emphasis.
On the other side, Zhao Jie even took the initiative to stand next to the film, put his face close to him, and compared it with him when he was young twenty years ago. Then he looked confident and confident, opening his eyes and telling lies:
"not me."
snort.
So what if you were the captain of the Northern Cross?
Is it possible that you could kidnap me from Sakuragijima?
But unexpectedly, Nan's next words made Zhao Jie's eyes widen in an instant.
"That's it...that's such a pity. This commission was originally for us to inform the businessman that his debts have been cleared for a long time, and for us to take him back to Guili, but since Boss Zhao said, this
The person in the photo is not..."
Nan shook her head. Before she could finish her words, she tried to take back the hand holding the photo, but Zhao Jie held her firmly down.
This was followed by an anxious shout.
