Lao Tzu is Hades

Chapter 44

"Hey, why are you so depressed?" On the road, seeing Jiang Feng frowning, Su Mei took the initiative to speak.

Jiang Feng said, "I'm going to Huanyu Tower this time, and I don't know if I can see the girl A Leng."

Su Mei started gossiping again, and smiled openly: "What are you doing with that girl?"

Jiang Feng hesitated for a moment and told about Yan Wangyin, then blushed and said, "Sister, if you can really see Yan Wangyin this time, then... can you lend me some money?"

"Do you want to buy things back?" Su Mei patted her chest, and said, "Don't worry, wrap it on your sister!"

Jiang Feng was in a good mood, and asked, "By the way, who is the major shareholder of Huanyu Tower?"

Su Mei said, "It's an old man named Cui Xushi, but he is already old, and now his family is taking care of the Huanyu Tower. This time, let's go over, it is Master Cui's nine daughter-Cui Yingying who is in charge of the reception work. , She’s in charge now."

"Nine daughters?" Jiang Feng said secretly, "This Cui Xu is really amazing!"

...

Arrived in Yangcheng, the sky had just turned dark.

It stands to reason that the ribbon-cutting will officially open tomorrow. The mall should be beaming, but when they got there, the two looked up, and the entire mall was dark, and there was no storefront with lights on.

Su Mei gave a suspicious voice and said, "When I came here last time, many stores had already started trial operations. Why was there no one this time?"

Jiang Feng was also unclear, so he said, "Where are the Cui family?"

Su Mei said: "It was said that the accommodation and banquets have been arranged in the top-level hotel. Let's go up and have a look."

While they were talking, the two entered the elevator, but when they reached the top floor, the hotel was also closed.

"Strange!" Su Mei took out her mobile phone to call Cui Yingying, but she called two of them but did not answer.

Jiang Feng said: "Sister, you were not fooled by them, right?"

"Impossible!" Su Mei said, "The contract signed in white, black and red, and it's not the first time that Cui and I have done business. It shouldn't be the case! In this way, let's find a hotel nearby, Cui Yingying. You will call me back when you see the news!"

When they arrived downstairs, the two got in the car and were about to leave. At this moment, a security guard in the security booth hurried over and checked the license plate number. His expression changed and said, "Is this President Su from Binhai?"

Su Mei nodded and said, "Where is Mr. Cui in your mall?"

"Sorry, sorry!" The security guard kept apologizing and said, "I just went to dinner and didn't notice you coming! Mr. Cui went back temporarily because something happened to his hometown, saying that tomorrow's ribbon cutting and opening ceremony will be delayed. day."

"Why?" Su Mei was a little unhappy. As a boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions, her time is very precious, and she usually arranges her itinerary one or two months in advance.

The security guard said: "I heard that Mr. Cui Xushi suddenly became ill and left this afternoon. President Cui rushed back to his hometown temporarily. A series of celebrations such as flower baskets and salutes that were originally prepared by the mall were all removed!"

"That's it!" Su Mei was a little surprised. She didn't expect Cui Xushi to leave at this time. Now the Cui family must be busy turning around inside and out, no wonder Cui Yingying didn't answer her phone.

"Sister, what shall we do now?" Jiang Feng had no idea.

Su Mei said, "Old man Cui is a senior, so I don't know if I don't know. Now that he knows that his old man is gone, he will go and worship if he feels reasonable!"

The two found a restaurant, ate and drank, took a break, and then went to Cui's house.

...

The old house of the Cui family was in the countryside, a place called Cuijiazhuang, a hundred miles away from the city.

Walking through the downtown area and coming to the suburbs, the sky suddenly changed and heavy snow fell.

The roads in the countryside are difficult to walk. If it snows, you can't see the road conditions. The chassis of the sports car is relatively low. It gets stuck in the mud ditch several times and almost can't get up!

Finally drove to a small town, Su Mei stopped the car and said: "Our car can't get in anymore. Let's see if we can get the car!"

But this night, it was a remote town, not to mention taxis and buses, there was not even one of the three trampolines running black cars.

There were small trucks parked in front of a few households with narrow distances and high chassis. Su Mei wanted to rent one, but the other party was asking for a price of two thousand or three thousand.

It's not that Su Mei can't afford to pay, but she has only two or three hundred in cash, and the residents of the small town don't know what to swipe their cards and scan codes, so Su Mei is in a hurry!

Jiang Feng caught a glimpse of a bicycle parked at the entrance of the commissary. He had an idea and said, "Sister, let's buy a bicycle and ride there, I'll take you!"

"Bicycle?" Su Mei shook her head straight and said, "Not to mention that it is still snowing in the sky. There is still fifty or sixty miles away. When will you have to ride!"

"I'm riding, I promise to be no slower than driving!" Jiang Feng looked confident.

Su Mei had no other way for the time being, so she chose to trust Jiang Feng and bought the bicycle for two hundred yuan.

Jiang Feng took off his jacket, put one on Su Mei and one on the back seat of the bicycle, saying: "Sister, you have to hold on to me, the speed is too fast, I am afraid I will lose you!"

"Blow it, you'll do it!" Su Mei smiled and sat in the back, looking at the falling snow in front of her, feeling as if she had returned to school time, and gently leaned her head on Jiang Feng's shoulder.

Jiang Feng's car skills are not superb. Although it is not comparable to a sports car, it is definitely a match for a truck.

Su Mei felt romantic at first, but soon ceased to be romantic, she was frightened!

This is a bicycle, it's a roller coaster!

It's okay to level the road. Whenever you encounter a bumpy road, Su Mei's whole person is flying up, and when he falls down, her ass hurts!

I arrived at Cuijiazhuang in less than half an hour.

According to local customs, people who honour the filial piety cannot drive the car into the village, but have to walk in to show respect for the dead.

Jiang Feng parked the car on the side of the road and said, "Sister, let's go over!"

"Ok!"

Su Mei jumped from the back seat and twisted her sore waist. When she looked up, Jiang Feng's head was covered with white flowers and said, "Don't move!"

As she said, she stood on tiptoe, helped Jiang Feng wipe the snow off her head, and said with a smile: "Look at you, your hair is white, just like a little old man!"

"Sister, you are the same too!" Jiang Feng helped Su Mei wipe the snow off her head, and said casually, "Let's call it Baitou!"

"I'm not going to grow white with you!" Su Mei's face suddenly became hot, and she didn't know what she thought of.

...

The Cui family is a big local family, as can be seen from the name of the village-Cuijiazhuang, the entire Zhuangzi has hundreds of households, more than half of which are named Cui.Because they are even somewhat related by blood, every family has white pairs.

In the last row of the village, a large mourning hall was built with wreaths on the outside and white silk on the inside.

It was very late at this time, except for the coffin and the portrait of Old Cui in the mourning hall, there was only one woman kneeling in front of the brazier alone.

She looks about the same age as Su Mei. Although she has a pear blossom on her face, she can't hide her natural beauty like a hibiscus.
