Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Cao Kun, the Cloth Seller, Walks Out of Home

The strong wind blowing from the back of Taihang Mountain blows Baoding, an ancient city in central Hebei, into a drowsy state in just a few gusts.The sky above the city is covered with dust; in the streets and alleys, the carriages, horses and pedestrians are almost extinct; on the top of the old trees that have lost all their leaves, a few crows are wailing silently. It was a morning in the harsh winter of 1922. When people rubbed their sleepy eyes and left the hot kang, they found that there was a layer of sparse snow particles in the yard, and the eaves seemed to be covered with a layer of light veil.Those who had nothing to do simply retreated into the house, and then got into the still warm bed.

The most bustling place is Cao Kun’s patrolling envoy in Zhilu and Henan. The iron-red gate guarded by stone lions was opened in the dim morning light, and several well-armed soldiers stood by the gate diligently; An old man in a long gown was sweeping the falling snow weakly outside the door; several servants who purchased food for the dining room hurried out with a small cart; the servants and soldiers who guarded and cleaned the various rooms in the office stepped up to their posts one after another; The houses that should be lit up are already brightly lit... Cao Kun, the tour envoy, stayed up all night again.The night in the courtyard had not yet disappeared, he had already stood inside the door, staring blankly at the silent courtyard for a long time.Cao Kun, 60 years old, is not too fat, but his body is still very strong.He has a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and a short thick and black mustache. Standing in the severe cold of the morning without even wearing a gown, it proves that he is strong and has the ability to keep out the cold.However, that pair of furrowed brows and tightly shut mouth showed that he was preoccupied.

The servant brought him a washbasin, but he ignored it; The young lady sent someone to bring him the custard and honey tea that he must drink almost every morning, put it on the corner of the Eight Immortals table, and put it down; The Baduanjin that he had to practice alone in the courtyard every morning had been lost in the past few days... "The commander-in-chief has something on his mind!?" The people around him were so surprised.However, no one knew what was on his mind, and no one dared to ask him what was on his mind. Late last night, Wang Yuzhi, the Secretary-General of the Patrol Mission, stopped by his side for a long time and reported several things to him, such as the personnel changes in the capital, several financial transactions in Tianjin Wei, Wu Peifu's military training in Luoyang, and his new appointment. President Li Yuanhong's governance attitude, etc., etc.Trying to draw out the matter of the patrol envoy, and then use his own resourcefulness to help him out of his troubles.Wang Yuzhi's mouth was parched while Cao Kun's words were dull.Finally, he called out the Secretary-General's nickname listlessly and said: "Lanting, it's getting late, you go back and rest. I want to sleep too."

Wang Yuzhi withdrew knowingly. The Secretary-General left, and only Xinna's concubine Liu Fengwei, who was more than forty years younger than him, was by his side.This is a smart and handsome girl, with a childish face, but quite a city - this probably has something to do with her life experience.Liu Fengwei was born in a family in the Liyuan family. He made his debut at the age of 7 and sang Jin (Tianjin) Bao (Baoding) urban and rural areas at the age of 9. He is the famous "Nine-year-old Red" in the Hebei Bangzi troupe. He performed Peking Opera and Beikun again at the age of 12. The Nier in the scene, Cao Kun was promoted to inspector and "taken" her into the mansion that year, and became his fourth concubine.At that time, Liu Fengwei was only 16 years old, but he became the most proud person around Cao Kun. Xiao Fengwei pulled the bed and said in a delicate voice: "Marshal, it's getting late. Come here, I will wait for you to rest. .”

If in the past, Cao Kunzhun held her in his arms, kissed her "obediently", then stretched out his arms and legs, let her take off his clothes for him, and then got into bed together.Today was abnormal, Cao Kun just stared at the dark night sky outside the window, as if he was listening to the sound of the wind, not even a word of yes or no. Xiao Fengwei knew that the commander-in-chief was worried, blinked his eyes lightly, and thought: "Why?" He couldn't think of the reason, so he simply did what he liked and came to resolve it for him. "Marshal, I think you don't seem to be in the mood to sleep. How about this? Let me sing you some songs you like. You haven't listened to my songs for many days. How about it?"

Cao Kun is a fan of theater.This is a habit developed in his hometown - the small town of Dagu, Tianjin.At the beginning, after he had grown up, his father asked him to row boats—that was his Cao family’s ancestral craft—but he thought it was too hard to do it; his father asked him to farm, but he felt worthless or not at.In the end, the old man gave him money to pack a cloth bag for him, and asked him to travel around the country to sell cloth, and he did it.At that time, he chased the troupe all day long and became addicted.After the play, he can often hum a few high-spirited Hebei Bangzi.To tell the truth, the first purpose of getting "Nine Years Red" by force is to be enthusiastic about her singing, and the second is her beauty. "Nine-year-old Red" is favored mainly because a few pieces of music are delivered to Cao Dashuai's ears at any time.Today, although Cao Kun is preoccupied, the trump card of "Nine Years Red" still touched Cao Kun's heart.He turned around, sat slowly on the teacher's chair, and said: "That's fine, let me listen to you sing a few paragraphs." After a pause, he said: "But I must sing a new paragraph, and sing it well."

"Yes, Commander." Xiao Fengwei said empathetically, "It must satisfy the Commander." However, when she calmed down and wanted to open her mouth, she couldn't think of any jokes to satisfy the Commander. - Leaving the troupe, Xiao Fengwei has almost become Cao Kun's plaything. "Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted".What kind of song should I use to get rid of the commander-in-chief's serious concerns? This little Kunling was worried for a while.When eyebrows are locked, I have to pick one of the songs and sing first: Where are the colorful clouds, and the moon is as bright as water soaking the towers.The monk returned to Xiang's room, and the crows made noise in the courtyard.The sound of the wind playing with the bamboo is only the sound of gold grinding, and the shadow of the moon moving flowers is suspected to be the jade man.Suspending career and eye, rushing about feelings, mind and body, nowhere to arrange; just ask the dumb boy to wait by the door.The more and more Qingluan is trustworthy, and the yellow dog has a good voice.

"Not good, not good." Cao Kun shook his hands and said, "It's dead again. Find something to listen to. "Okay, okay, okay." Xiaofeng said submissively: "Change another song, and change it to a happy one." After speaking, she sang a piece of Peking Opera "Suo Lin Nang": Outside the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, where is the sound of sorrow breaking the silence? There is only a sedan chair through the window, and it must be a newlywed crossing the magpie bridge.On auspicious days and good days, you should laugh, why do Jiaozhu spend tears... "Okay, okay. I don't listen to these songs." Cao Kun said: "What about 'newly married' and 'tears', you still think I don't care much?!"

Xiao Fengwei is used to being spoiled, when did she experience such supercilious looks? Angry and tender, she simply turned her back and burst into tears.While weeping, he sang in anger: Falling red is in formation, and the wind is blowing thousands of points to worry about people.Dreaming dawn in the pond, spring is farewell to the sill; the butterfly powder is lightly stained with flying catkins and snow, and the fragrance of swallow mud provokes the falling flower dust; the mood of spring is short and the willow silk is long, and the shade of flowers is far away and the end of the world is close.The incense dispelled the golden powder of the Six Dynasties, and cleared away the spirit of Sanchu...

Singing and singing, he got into bed and fell asleep by himself. Cao Kun had always treated her like a doll and was spoiled. Seeing her falling asleep in anger, he had to snuggle up to the edge of the bed and tease her a few more times.Then, without asking whether she was happy or angry, she still thought about her own thoughts. Ordinarily, Cao Kun shouldn't be worried. His official career has been very smooth in the past few years.Counting from the Revolution of 1911, he has risen by leaps and bounds in the past ten years, and he encounters a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity almost every year: After the Qing emperor abdicated, Yuan Shikai took total power——Yuan Shikai was Cao Kun’s great benefactor and great backing.From Xiaozhan to train the new army, he is the person Yuan likes very much. Why? With Cao Kun's cleverness, he obeys orders everywhere, and makes "Master Yuan satisfied".It was Mr. Yuan who sent him to Tianjin Wubei Academy for further studies. When Mr. Yuan was the governor of Zhili, Cao Kun followed him to Baoding and became the commander. Soon after, he became the commander, and soon he even became the commander of the third town.Yuan Shikai became the president, Cao Kun's town was changed to a division, and he was the commander of the third division.

The teacher Cao Kun is not comparable to ordinary teachers. He has been surrounded by Yuan Shikai, so he can be regarded as the teacher of "Chaozhong".For example, the Nanjing government sent special envoys such as Cai Yuanpei and Wang Jingwei to Beijing to invite Yuan to Nanjing to take office as president. Yuan Shikai did not want to go south and wanted to be president in Beijing, so he ordered Cao Kun to carry out "mutins" in Beijing and Baoding. Burning prostitutes and looting in Beijing for three days and three nights turned the peaceful and peaceful capital upside down.Cao Jun made a windfall, and Yuan Shikai had an excuse to not go to the south "justifiably", but still use Beijing as a base to expand his influence.Cao Kun made great contributions in "rescuing Jia". When Yuan Shikai later proclaimed himself emperor, he named him General Huwei, a first-class earl.Cao Kun was often in the north, and he had a large group of Zhili troops under his command, commonly known as Zhijun.The leader of the straight army is Feng Guozhang.Feng Guozhang couldn't compete with Duan Qirui, a warlord of the Anhui faction. In 1918, he stepped down from the throne of acting president.After reviving for a while, Cao Kun defeated Duan Qirui and Zhang Zuolin successively. He controlled northern China, became a patrol envoy to Zhilu and Henan, and became the overlord of one-third of China's world.What else can such a person worry about? It was late at night and the wind was strong.It was cold in Cao Kun's bedroom.He turned around and tucked the quilt up for Feng Wei, but he himself didn’t feel sleepy, and sat back at the table to meditate silently——By 1922 A.D., China under the rule of the Beiyang warlords was so chaotic that it almost reached death. "Status: Yuan Shikai, the ancestor of Beiyang, died, and the power of Beiyang fell into the hands of Duan Qirui of the Anhui Department. Li Yuanhong became the puppet president. During the restoration of Marshal Zhang Xun, Duan Qirui ousted Li Yuanhong and replaced him with Feng Guozhang as president. Feng Guozhang was the leader of the direct line, so the Anhui lineage was naturally worried, and Duan Qirui soon pulled him down again. At this moment, the "War of Straight Anhui" took place. Due to the Zhifeng alliance, the Anhui section failed, and the regime entered the Zhili period. The Zhifeng two reached a tacit agreement to invite Xu Shichang, a veteran of the Qing Dynasty outside the two factions, to come out as president, and the mighty Cao Kun wanted to be the emperor. Unexpectedly, Xu Shichang refused to submit, so Cao Kun had no choice but to drive him out. Just when Xu Shichang went to the field, Wu Peifu, the second person in the direct line, hurried to Baoding from Luoyang.As soon as Wu Peifu and Cao Kun met, they showed dissatisfaction. "Shan Shuai (Cao Kun, word Zhongshan), shouldn't let Xu Buwu (Xu Shichang word upper five) leave so early. This will affect our plan." Although Wu Peifu is twelve years younger than Cao Kun, he It is a bit more stable than Cao Kun. As early as the Zhili victory after the Zhiwan War, Cao Kun wanted to hold total power and become president.Wu Peifu shook his head fiercely, and said: "No way. Although the Anhui Clique has been defeated recently, it is only in the north. They still have powerful forces in the south. Once they move, it will be very dangerous. Besides, there is Fengzhang in the northeast. I think It is better to wait for the opportunity to unify by force and then seize total power. That’s why Xu Shichang became the president. Now, Wu Peifu has not yet had the strength to unify the whole of China, so Cao Kun can’t wait to drive Xu Shichang down. How could Wu Peifu agree. Cao Kun looked at Wu Peifu who was full of emotions, sighed softly, and said, "It's helpless. This Xu Buwu is too ungrateful." "Isn't it just to let him maintain the situation?" Wu Peifu said: "How can we expect him to do anything? If he rushes to the big position for a while, I can have time to expand my power and recharge my energy. When I use force to unify The world is over, what will he do with Xu Buwu? I'm afraid he will obediently walk away without a wink." du8.com copyright Cao Kun slightly closed his eyes and thought about it, although he felt unsatisfactory, he still nodded.However, not long after that, Cao Kun still couldn't tolerate the great president Xu Shichang, so he launched a direct-Feng war under the pretext of driving Feng Jun out of the pass to isolate President Xu.After Zhang defeated and retreated to the three eastern provinces, Cao forced the president to remove Zhang Zuolin from his concurrent positions.Not wanting to annoy Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin energized Xu Shichang from the presidency. Xu Shichang withdrew from the presidency, and Cao Kun was eager to take the stage, but Wu Peifu still disagreed.In the end, Cao Kun's Baoding faction in the direct lineage and Wu Peifu's Luoyang faction reached an internal agreement that Li Yuanhong would be temporarily reinstated as the president.Now, it is the period when Li Yuanhong is in power.Wu Peifu went back to Luoyang, and Cao Kun dreamed of becoming a president again in Baoding... Wang Yuzhi, the secretary-general of the patrol envoy who quit late at night, rushed back early in the morning. Wang Yuzhi is a clever person, and he often speculates about Cao Kun's worries.This time, something was abnormal. Not only was the guess wrong, but it also made Cao Kun frown and shake his head.The Secretary-General thought about it: "What the hell is Cao San fool thinking?" After the Zhili clique gained power, Wang Yuzhi participated in all the actions taken. He pulled Xu Shichang to power, pushed Xu Shichang to step down, and dragged Li Yuanhong to power. Wang Yuzhi was clear about Cao Kun's heat and cold.What is Cao Kun thinking now? He is confused: "Wu Ziyu (Wu Peifu's name is Ziyu) disagrees with taking the big position now. Besides, Li Songqing (Li Yuanhong's name is Song Qing) has just been pulled up by the direct line, so he can't be pushed down immediately. Ah!" Wang Yuzhi thought about it, but still couldn't figure it out, so he hurried to the patrol envoy at dawn, and rushed to Cao Kun.Cao Kun stared at the courtyard in a daze, looked up and saw Wang Yuzhi coming again, turned around hurriedly, as if to welcome him out, but only shook his body, and waited for him at the same place. "Lanting, good morning." "Morning commander!" "I can't remember when you left last night." Cao Kun smiled lightly and said, "I don't see you anymore. I just remembered a few things." Wang Yuzhi's heart skipped a beat. "Didn't you tell me to go back to rest? You issued an order to evict me. Can I not leave? Why did you ask me when I left?" The Secretary-General felt that Cao Kun was fake enough.However, after all, he is his subordinate and serves him, so he will not and cannot argue with him about these matters.So, he still said docilely: "Marshal, I know you have something on your mind. I felt that it was late at night, and I was afraid that it would affect your rest, so I left first. So, I rushed here just after dawn today. Woke up so early." "Come on, let's sit in the room." Cao Kun pulled Wang Yuzhi and walked into the room, saying, "Lanting, I forgot to entertain you when you came here yesterday. A few days ago, a Zhejiang A friend from Chun'an came to visit and brought some famous local tea. What is it called? It seems to be called 'Jiukeng Maojian'. You know, I am a layman to tea. I know that the famous tea in Zhejiang is West Lake Longjing. Jiukeng How is Maojian famous? It’s hard to say. You have researched on tea, and I brought it out to entertain you, and I happened to ask for advice.” Then, he turned around and shouted to the room: “Fengwei, Lanting is here, hurry up and get rid of yesterday’s tea. I'll brew your new tea, let's have a taste." Feng Wei responded and went to make tea.Wang Yuzhi was a little puzzled: "I have been worried for many days, so early in the morning, where did the tea boom come from, not to mention that I don't have a close relationship with tea. Maybe it's 'drunkards don't care about tea'? Okay, I'll just disturb him for a cup. " So he said: "Thank you in advance. As for tea, I am also a layman, and I often drink it without knowing the taste. I have heard of this kind of Jiukeng Maojian, which is produced in Jiukeng Township, Chun'an, so I got it Its name is green and emerald green in color, exposed in silver, tight and slender in shape, straight and beautiful in shape, mellow and fresh in taste, and rich in smell. It tastes pretty good, but it is not as prestigious as Longjing and other famous teas. So it is listed as a famous tea, which is probably related to the poem written by Fan Zhongyan, the governor of Muzhou..." "Okay, okay. This tea has already been said clearly by you, and there is poetry? Well, you have to tell me what kind of poetry it is, so that I can open my eyes." Cao Kun smiled happily after sweeping his sad face away. "Is the Fan Zhongyan you're talking about, the Suzhou native Fan Xiwen who wrote 'Worry before the world worries'?" "Yes, it's him." I only know that he writes well, and he can also write poems. You must know this poem, read it to me quickly.Even if I exchange tea for your poems. "As he said, he looked up and smiled-this is a smiling face I haven't seen for a long time. In fact, Wang Yuzhi also wanted to please him, so she recited in a melodious and melodious manner: Tonglu County is cool, Chunshan is half full of tea.What a good thing is light thunder, startling the tea before the rain. "So, the Jiukeng tea was harvested around Qingming." "Yes, that's why it's called 'Tea Before the Rain'." "Okay, here comes the tea, let's taste it first." The two sat opposite each other tasting the tea, chatted about the tea, and naturally "returned to the book". "Marshal," the secretary-general changed the subject first, "I'm taking the liberty to ask, you must have something on your mind these days. Can you tell me about it?" Cao Kun nodded and said, "I have something on my mind, it's not a big deal. I didn't tell you, because I didn't consider it maturely. If you ask, of course I can tell you." du8.com copyright "All ears!" "It's not listening, there are some things that need to be done by you." "Be sure to do your best!" Wang Yuzhi said, "Please tell me, Commander-in-Chief." Cao Kun held a teacup with a faint fragrance in his hand, walked slowly, and said, "Lanting, I want to hire some congressmen as my advisors. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I haven't decided who to do such a thing. When to do it? You see "..." "Help a councilor as an advisor?" Wang Yuzhi was a little at a loss.Members of Parliament are in charge of Beijing's affairs, and the patrol envoys are local officials. It is unconventional for local government offices to invite members of Congress to serve as advisors! Wang Yuzhi fell silent after thinking this way. When Cao Kun saw that the Secretary-General was silent, he knew that he did not understand his intentions, and felt a little angry.But it was hard to explain, so I had to say vaguely: "I don't have any intentions, I just want to connect with each other and make friends." "Make friends?" Wang Yuzhi said, "We didn't have much contact with them in the past, and the congressmen came from all over the world. I'm afraid..." "Of course we have to show something." Cao Kun hurriedly said: "They agreed, we will not use them for nothing, and each person will be given 200 yuan a month for transportation." "This...Okay, okay, this is how we should make friends." Wang Yuzhi knew Cao Kun's character, and whoever he usually associates with is a person who doesn't get rid of anything.Now, if you want to make friends with MPs, you have to send 200 yuan per month as an activity fee, which is a bit abnormal.But it was inconvenient to ask, so he only expressed his approval, and then asked, "When will we start doing this?" "Of course, the sooner the better." Cao Kun said, "How about you do this?" Wang Yuzhi panicked - he didn't have a deep relationship with the congressmen, and his intentions were unclear, so he panicked. "Marshal, if you want to communicate with these people, I can't do it. I can recommend someone to you, and he will do it." "Who?" "It's far away, but it's close at hand." Wang Yuzhi said, "He is your deputy chief of staff, Wang Tan." "Wang... Yang... Yi." "It's him." Wang Yuzhi said, "You know that he has an indelible friendship with Speaker Wu Jinglian and Wu Datou. He knows most of the councilors. He is the most suitable for this job." "Lanting, are you kidding Yangyi?" Cao Kun said, "You know that Wang Yangyi and Datou's wife..." "Isn't it better, give them some chances to get close." Zha was afraid that something would happen. " "No." "Why?" "Wu Datou is a person who doesn't care about red or green hats," Wang Yuzhi said, "Besides, he also cares about money." As fate would have it, as long as Yang Yi burns more incense in front of him, everything will go away. " Cao Kun thought about it and thought it was right.Then he said: "Lanting, it's up to you to tell Yang Yi about this matter. He agreed, you come and tell me, and I will see him again." After Wang Yuzhi left, he went to the deputy chief of staff Wang Tan with a feeling of confusion. Before Wang Yuzhi left, Wang Tan came to the door.He also came with Zhili Governor Wang Chengbin.Wang Yuzhi smiled at them: "Yanzhao Diling, whoever is thinking about it will arrive." Wang Chengbin said: "Are you thinking about me?" Wang Yuzhi said: "You are a very busy person in Tianjin, I dare not miss you. Instead, I miss Yang Yi!" "There must be something that can't be closed. Otherwise, you won't miss me." Wang Tan is a person who likes to tease. "I have a good job for you." Wang Yuzhi said, "I was ordered to convey it." "Don't talk about this yet," Wang Tan said, "I came to you with Xiaobo (Wang Chengbin's name Xiaobo) to solve the mystery together, so let's talk about the mystery first." "What mystery? Sit down and talk." The three sat down, and someone served tea. Wang Tan said straight to the point: "Uncle Xiao said that the commander-in-chief wanted to be the president, and asked me, 'Do you believe it?, I said' believe it!' He asked me again, 'Is it right?" I bring this matter to you, let's 'three cobblers' come to discuss together." "The Marshal is going to be the President. It has been rumored for a long time, but Wu Ziyu didn't agree to let it go." Wang Yuzhi said, "Why bring this up again?" "You're talking about the past, we're talking about today." "Today again?" Wang Yuzhi was puzzled. du8.com copyright "Let's not talk about this first," Wang Chengbin said, "I want to ask you two, is it right for the commander-in-chief to be the president?" Wang Yuzhi was unprepared and didn't know what to say. He turned to Wang Tan and asked, "Yangyi, what's your opinion?" "I have to ask you first," Wang Tan said, "You are the secretary-general, the chief housekeeper, do you know how much property the commander-in-chief currently owns?" Wang Yuzhi blinked her eyes and said, "This...approximately, it will cost tens of millions." Wang Tan smiled. "An ordinary family has three or two million yuan, and his descendants will go astray. The commander-in-chief has tens of millions, and his heart is not at peace. It must be a crime to leave it to future generations; the best way is to buy a president. , even for three to five days. After all, the Cao family became the 'lord of the country,...'" "So, the commander-in-chief wants to buy the president?!" Wang Yuzhi suddenly realized.Without waiting for the guests to speak, he recounted Cao Kun's plans to make friends with the congressmen and invite consultants. "That's it, I specially recommended Yang Yi. We also coincided with each other." He asked Wang Tan again: "Yang Yi, you have to do your part to hire a councilor as a consultant." "The commander-in-chief has been 'calling' me for a long time, and I have to do it if I don't do it." Wang Tan said obediently: "Being the president is the best way to step down and ruin the family. It is hard for Shan Shuai to think of it. I am afraid that his family The miser, the fourth master, refuses to bleed. You know, all the property of the Cao family is in his hands." Wang Yuzhi was still puzzled and said: "We are not weak anymore, and Wu Ziyu also promised him to use force to seize the president and give it to the commander-in-chief. Why do you want to buy it again?" "I can't wait!" Wang Tan said, "It would be a day sooner." "Just ask a member of the council to be a consultant for this?" Wang Tan nodded. Wang Chengbin said: "Buying the president in a hurry, building a building on the beach will not hold it. I wonder if I should remind the commander, let's talk slowly." "I can't mention it." Wang Tan said: "The commander-in-chief is self-willed, and there will be no turning back for what he believes in. We have to obey orders." Wang Yuzhi said: "No wonder the commander-in-chief is always silent these days, so he was thinking about this matter. I understand that in these years, since he was the commander of the three towns, especially when he was the commander of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, he has made a lot of mistakes. Little money; birthdays are organized every year, and a lot of money is made; in Dagu Town, my hometown, I got some money through brothers such as the eldest brother and the fourth brother, so it is for today!" Everyone understood in their hearts, and they all I want to play this scene with the main character.So, they went to see Cao Kun again. Cao Kun and his civil and military assistants have already understood the matter of spending money to buy the president, so there is no need to cover it up.Cao Kun then clearly said what he wanted to say. "Everyone, it's a period of great chaos. There have been many years of fighting, and the faces of good and bad people have been blurred. Ziyu's insistence on unifying the world by force is not impossible, but it will take time. Maybe force will not work, and the world will be destroyed." I was arrested by others. So, I want to go the way of Congress.” He paused for a moment, and then said: “As for the method of contacting members of Congress, I don’t think it’s worth worrying about. People have feelings. , Spending some money on feelings is nothing. What do you think?" Everyone nods. Cao Kun added: "Right now, we can only do emotional contact. There are many other things that have to wait until this matter is finished before they can be put on the agenda. Are you right?" He took out a bank note from his drawer, handed it to Wang Tan, and said, "Yangyi, I discussed it with Lan Ting, and you have to handle this matter. Of course, you have to go through Wu Datou. Fortunately, you and Wu Datou are very supportive." It's not difficult to do it if you hit it off. As for how much it will cost, don't worry about it. The principle is to get things done. How about it?" Today, Cao Kun speaks very softly, always in a negotiating tone.In fact, he set out the principles of doing things clearly, so clearly that no one was allowed to negotiate a price.Wang Yuzhi, Wang Tan and the others also felt that this was mostly Cao Kun's private matter. If it was done, everyone would be rewarded; if it couldn't be done, it wouldn't hurt them.Simply obey the advice and push the boat along the way. Fortunately, it is the money of the Cao family, so why not do it! It's still a bit oily when it's done.Wang Tan accepted the banknote and bid farewell first, Wang Yuzhi and Wang Chengbin also came out, each went to his own business.
