Chapter 261: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Wang Sanqiang was very low-key this time, and the number of people he invited was not as numerous as before. Most of them were people who needed to have contact with him, like Lu Pingsheng.
Even so, the entire hotel lobby was still bustling with activity. Wei Miao saw Xiao Nanjing in uniform among the guards.
Lu Pingsheng stopped Wei Miao who was about to go over to greet him, "Don't disturb Xiao Nanjing while he's working."
Wei Miao stopped and sat down at the banquet with Lu Pingsheng.
"Little Nanjing got promoted?"
Wei Miao saw that the patrol uniform on him was different from before.
Lu Pingsheng glanced at the people at the table and found that most of them were unfamiliar to him. Hearing Wei Miao's words, he smiled and whispered:
"Our Inspector Wang is a smart guy."
Wei Miao guessed that it was because Xiao Nanjing was bullied by Asan that day, and Lu Pingsheng personally supported him. He also took Wang Sanqiang to meet the son of the director's family, so he did Lu Pingsheng a favor.
"Look at the group of people at the main table." After Lu Pingsheng fooled Ono Zong, he was drunk and linked arms with Wei Miao.
Wei Miao followed his gaze.
Among the white people, she only knew Charlotte's cousin, the tomb robber White.
Bai Xingzhou and his fiancée, whom he had just met a few days ago, and a middle-aged man in a long gown.
"Mr. Bai and Miss Qi have a very good relationship." Wei Miao sighed.
Lu Pingsheng, who always disdained love, did not pour cold water on it this time. Instead, he asked Wei Miao to look at the middle-aged man next to Bai Xingzhou.
"The middle-aged man who was chatting happily with Bai Xingzhou is the one in charge of the economy in Shanghai."
Wei Miao disliked the smell of alcohol on him, so he turned his head and saw clearly the middle-aged man who had been blocked by someone just now.
I didn’t expect it was an acquaintance.
Lu Pingsheng looked at his expression and said with a smile, "Do you know him?"
"Didn't you ask me who the show bag belonged to the other day? It belonged to his sister."
Last time, time was urgent and Lu Pingsheng did not ask too much. Today, after listening to Wei Miao's account of the boat trip that day, he sighed:
"That's right. The town you went to is called Xiushui Town. It's the hometown of the Jin family. You probably went home to worship your ancestors."
Wei Miao knew Lu Pingsheng. He rarely wasted his energy paying attention to unimportant things.
Lu Pingsheng chuckled, but his eyes were terrifyingly cold.
This man is a good dog, a good dog with ambition and desire.
"Her sister is very cute. She's the one who danced with you that night."
Lu Pingsheng thought about it and remembered a beautiful face with a hint of tsundere.
"Her." There was a hint of regret in his tone.
Wei Miao teased him, "Has your budding love died out?"
Jin Yazhu is a typical rich lady. She is beautiful, arrogant, and well-raised by her family. She has a little temper, just like a rose in bud covered with thorns.
Lu Pingsheng looked at Wei Miao's teasing eyes and suddenly felt that this boy had grown up a little and seemed to have an interest in matters between men and women.
"You like a girl like this? Such a willful young lady is not easy to support. She needs the best food, clothing and other necessities. It's very expensive."
Wei Miao widened his eyes and said in disbelief:
"Why should I support a woman? I can't even afford to eat, so why should I spend money to support a woman? Am I crazy?"
Seeing how stingy she was, Lu Pingsheng felt worried for Xu Ayu and his wife. How could they have a son who was greedy for money and food?
Wei Miao was too lazy to pay attention to his attempt to mislead others, and continued with the previous topic:
"What happened to Minister Jin?"
Lu Pingsheng did not answer but asked: "Ah Miao, do you want to make a big fortune?"
When Wei Miao heard about making money, his eyes lit up terribly and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
The money making that Brother Lu is talking about is not just a matter of a few silver dollars or gold bars, it must be a big business.
"Okay, then bring Brother Lu a cup of tea. Brother Lu is a little thirsty." Lu Pingsheng looked at her and deliberately made fun of her.
Wei Miao asked the waiter to bring tea and handed it to Lu Pingsheng personally.
"Hey, I drank too much wine, so I want to drink some light porridge to warm my stomach."
Wei Miao quickly tipped the waiter and asked him to go to the kitchen to bring some porridge.
"I don't know why, but I've been feeling shoulder pain these past few days..."
Wei Miao leaned over to rub Lu Pingsheng's back, but she didn't have much strength and pinching his shoulders was just a tickle.
But Lu Pingsheng hummed with enjoyment: "I still like your unruly look."
Wei Miao: ...
Lu Pingsheng never told his plan in public, but walked towards the main table with a glass of wine in hand, while Wei Miao was speechless.
Wei Miao didn't bother to care about what happened later. In fact, she had already found out about the situation of the Jin family from Charlotte when she met Jin Yazhu for the second time.
Jin's parents died early, leaving behind three children, the eldest brother Jin Yazhi and the twins Jin Yazhu and Jin Yayu.
The brother and sister are twenty years apart in age, and Jin Yazhi raised the twins as sons and daughters.
Jin Yazhu stayed with him, while Jin Yayu went to study in the United States.
The eldest brother, Jin Yazhi, is the head of the government's Public Debt Department and Finance Department, and concurrently serves as the Minister of Finance in Shanghai.
The lackey that Lu Pingsheng mentioned should be the "Treasury Bond" case two years ago.
At that time, Wei Miao was struggling every day to fill his stomach, and he also knew about the treasury bonds of the "second and third levels".
The treasury bonds kept rising, and the neighbors were quite crazy about it. Even Aunt Xiu and Little Jiangsu secretly bought some.
It was only after Wu Ziyang told them the so-called inside story in a mysterious way that the people in the alley, half believing and half doubting, finally stopped a little.
But there are also those who don't listen to advice, such as the second aunt of the Wei family, the biological mother of Wei Ran and others.
She was almost crazy. She not only wanted to buy things for herself, but also for the whole family. Although Xu Ayu was tempted, she preferred to live a stable life, so she did not agree.
During that period, Uncle Wei and Qian Asheng went out early and came back late, sometimes not returning home all night, and there was no one to supervise them.
Aunt Wei took the money that their family had saved and stole the old man and the old woman's coffin, and ended up ruining everything.
When the incident happened, Second Aunt Wei hanged herself in the middle of the night and was discovered by Wei Li who got up to urinate. She was rescued only after she screamed.
From that day on, the Wei family seemed to be cursed. The two elders died one after another, Uncle Wei disappeared, and Aunt Wei left with her bag. . .
Xu Ayu never talked about these things in front of the children, and he never mentioned them even when he was fighting with Wei Ada.
Wei Miao asked her why?
She touched her daughter's hands covered with chilblains and said earnestly:
"Compared to those who lost everything, jumped into the river, lay on the railway tracks, or fell off the building, our family is still lucky. Your father works to support the family, and you are healthy. We have raised you..."
Wei Miao supported his chin with one hand, thinking about the treasury bond speculation. The common people were like the leeks that Brother Lu mentioned, which were cut. What would the few people who got the leeks do with the money?
Do you want to swallow it too?
This was the first time Wei Miao thought about this problem seriously. There was actually someone with a bigger appetite than her. This was not acceptable.
It looks like it's time to look into books in the economics category.
