Chapter 291 If I Can only Drink Porridge, You Can Eat Sand for Me
The woman who had just finished scolding didn't say the second sentence, and was covered by Shang Jia sitting on the left.
Then I saw Chen Xijiu scratching his head in embarrassment and smirking, "Sorry, sir, I forgot that there is a time difference between Hong Kong and Kowloon and London."
When the eight women heard this, their eyes lit up immediately.
Before, they had heard about Chen Xijiu, who was favored by a high-ranking official in England, who entrusted him to supervise the project of the villa on the top of the mountain.
Then these 8 wives are Chen Xijiu in name, but in fact they are all Lei Luo, Zhu Youzai, and friends of other detectives.
I have been ordered by my bosses to pay attention to whether Chen Xijiu has received a call from London.
It had already been 8 months, and all 8 people thought that their boss made a mistake, or they were cheated by Chen Xijiu.
But he didn't expect that half a month ago, not only Yan Tong was awarded the title of Inspector General Hua.
Even Lan Jiang, whom no one was optimistic about before, was also promoted to Inspector Zonghua.
Still kicked Yan Tong away and monopolized Kowloon.
And before this, there have been rumors in Hong Kong and Kowloon that Lan Jiang was invited by a high-status person in England to visit London for a few days last year.
Then, with a commendation order from the London Police Headquarters, he was first transferred from Hung Hom, which is on the edge of land reclamation, to Tsim Sha Tsui, which is next to Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok, as a detective.
During those few months, all the policemen in Hong Kong and Nine had been waiting to see Lan Jiang and Yan Tong, who had become neighbors, fight each other, but the result of waiting for several months was.
Yan Tong and Lan Jiang, these two bastards, at the promotion banquet half a month ago, it was actually good for you and me. First, Yan Tong went to the place where Lan Jiang put the wine to congratulate.
Then Lan Jiang took his wife to the place where Yan Tong served wine to congratulate him.
What most people don't understand is.
Lan Jiang, who won Kowloon, drank heavily with a sad face, while Yan Tong comforted him with a constant smile.
What everyone doesn't know is that on the plane back to Hong Kong and Kowloon from London, Lan Jiang actually made up his mind to hide in the New Territories for a few years.
Then take the opportunity to have a child or two with his wife, and get through the unknown danger first.
But he didn't expect that because he was on the same plane as that old man Hobbs, he would miss him.
Not many days back to Hong Kong and Kowloon.
Laura Quinn, who can speak Cantonese, rushed from London to Hong Kong and Kowloon. Hobbs called Lan Jiang to play golf together from time to time, and the three of them quickly became acquainted.
Originally, for Li Changheng's sake, Lan Jiang sincerely wanted to befriend the two of them, but he didn't expect that Hobbs and Quinn would try to clear up the relationship without telling him.
Pushing himself to become Kowloon's Zonghua Inspector.
Yan Tong, who got hints from Li Changheng when he was still in Hong Kong and Kowloon last year, guessed a little bit about this matter. Even Lei Luo thought that Lan Jiang had just got lucky.
Then at the promotion banquet, seeing Lan Jiang's appearance, it was really confirmed.
Then Yan Tong, who received a phone call from Zhang Tianzhi in London this afternoon, Hong Kong and Kowloon night, hurried to his elder brother Ye Xiaoqin's house as soon as he hung up the phone, discussing the establishment of a construction company.
Then I went home and spent the whole night thinking about how to deal with the money I received over the years, as well as a large number of properties and real estate.
However, Li Changheng knows that there are still 4 years before the establishment of the ICAC, and these 4 years are definitely the craziest years for Hong Kong and Kowloon police and public officials to collect money.
If Lan Jiang and Yan Tong couldn't hold back their greed and believed that Li Changheng made a mistake in his judgment, London would probably be just putting on a show as before, and would get a lot of money again.
Then Li Changheng will definitely not be soft-hearted.
When they wanted to escape, they would relentlessly squeeze out all the money in their hands and never give up.
Chen Xijiu was more respectful to receive Li Changheng's call than when facing Lei Luo.
Ever since he was commissioned to watch the project of the villa on the top of the mountain, Chen Xijiu not only found out that there are dozens of detectives in Hong Kong, but he no longer calls him Detective Abalone, even Lei Luo has been more polite.
When I played with Lei Luo for the first time 7 months ago.
I failed to pass the ball to him twice in a row, so I planned to keep my head down and let Leihuo be furious.
But he didn't expect him to stop after cursing, instead of cursing endlessly like before.
Chen Xijiu figured it out at that time, if he wanted to live with more dignity, he had to hug that young ghost's thigh tightly.
And since they all hug the thigh, any fool would know to hug the thicker one.
Besides, when he was with Li Changheng, Chen Xijiu was never treated like a dog by him.
Instead, I have heard the other party say "thank you" several times.
It made Chen Xijiu feel that Li Changheng, although he gave people a faint feeling of superiority, could treat him as a human being.
Then the promotion of Lan Jiang and Yan Tong made him see that Li Changheng is a man who keeps his word.
Only with this kind of boss can there be a future.
So, after receiving Li Changheng's call, Chen Xijiu was so excited that she almost jumped up.
Then came the words of shouting 'Good morning, sir'.
Li Changheng rubbed his ears, his ears were a little itchy from the harsh sound, and then he asked uncomfortably, "How is the progress of the villa on the top of the mountain?"
Chen Xijiu, who was always excited, said with a smile on his face, "The main body of the villa has been completed, and the marble floor is being installed now.
As for the decoration, according to designer Qin, it will definitely be completed and delivered for use in October this year. "
"Is there any problem with the quality?"
"Don't worry, sir."
Chen Xijiu said with a proud expression on his face, "I asked the more than 30 men of the Shau Kei Wan Police Station to rotate 4 people every other week, and bring the contractors randomly found from Shau Kei Wan to supervise the work.
It is not easy for the company in charge of engineering construction to buy so many people.
And that guy Shuming brought the material list every other week to go to Boss Ruan Mei to find out if anyone was playing tricks on the materials.
It's sure to be all right, sir. "
"You asked Ruan Mei to be in charge of reviewing the purchase of materials?"
Li Changheng suddenly felt that the company responsible for building the villa might not only fail to make money, but would have to accompany various projects for unexpected consumption.
After all, when Ruan Mei was moving, the porters took the opportunity to increase the price, and in the end she only gave those people a coin.
"A new task for you and the mouse, teach Ruan Mei to spend money, and if she eats leftovers, let you and the mouse only drink three bowls of porridge tomorrow.
clear? "
Li Changheng didn't know if Ruan Mei, who took over the food stall, would still eat the overnight food that he didn't finish the day before, just like in the TV series.
But thinking about this woman's personality, no matter how rich she is, if no one interferes, she still can't change this problem.
It can only be regarded as having it.
Anyway, Chen Xijiu and Shuo Ming will definitely keep an eye on Ruan Mei's diet after this.
"Understood, understood, sir."
Chen Xijiu scolded Shuming in his heart.
Because the outside world knows that he has 9 wives, his reputation is not very good, so he has been only staring at the villa, and rarely goes to the food stall to meet Ruan Mei.
But he didn't expect to be tricked by Mouse Ming.
NIM's waiting for me, Pujiezi.
"I promise to find the most suitable person to teach Boss Ruan Mei how to spend money reasonably, as well as the three meals in the future, I will definitely order Brother Yu and Madam Yu to keep an eye on Boss Ruan.
If I can only drink porridge, the two of them will give me water, and the mouse will eat sand when it hits the street. "
