In the early morning, the fiery red sun leaped out of the sparkling river surface, painting everything along the coast with vivid gold and red. This moment was a beautiful scene that belonged only to early people. Zhang Bo, the old shopkeeper of Hanjiang Tea, had been admiring it for twenty years.
Twenty years ago, Zhang Bo came to Binjiang from other places. With his outstanding kung fu tea skills, he was hired as a tea master at the old tea house in Binjiang, Hanjiang First Tea. In that era, the main customers of the teahouse were the retired elderly, and the price was cheap. Many old people went to the riverside to exercise in the morning, and then went to Hanjiang River together to drink tea and chat to pass the time. Zhang Bo had to rush to the teahouse to work before dawn every day, and he gradually developed the habit of getting up early. Time passed quickly, and today's tea culture was developing in a more commercial and elite direction. Hanjiang First Tea had also been rebuilt many times into a high-end tea culture club with antique decorations. With the unique advantage of being located by the river, the consumer prices here rose again and again, but the business was getting more and more prosperous. Zhang Bo had been promoted to a shopkeeper a few years ago because of his honesty, diligence, and good craftsmanship. He had thought that he would be able to retire safely here, but he did not expect that the boss would suddenly sell Hanjiang First-grade Tea a few days ago. Moreover, the selling price was ridiculously low, less than the annual turnover of the teahouse.
Zhang Bo vaguely felt that his boss was in trouble, but this was not something he should be concerned about. He was more concerned about whether the new boss would continue to use him. With his skills and reputation in the circle, it was easy for him to find a job, but he was unwilling to go to a small teahouse, and it was impossible for him to directly take over the position of the shopkeeper of a famous teahouse. Therefore, once he left Hanjiang Tea, he would inevitably fall into an awkward situation. Fortunately, the new boss seemed to intend to keep the original team. He even gave him a big red packet in private and told him to take care of it in the future. Zhang Bo thought that this meant that he would continue to be the shopkeeper.
Other than the day the new boss took over the shop, he did not show his face for a period of time. Everything went according to plan. It wasn't until more than a week ago that the new boss suddenly called the shop and told Zhang Bo to close the shop from the 23rd. Everyone should go home and rest and not come to the shop. His tone was unquestionable. Zhang Bo wanted to ask the reason, but he changed the topic. As for when the business would resume, he didn't say. He only said that it wouldn't be too long and that he would call to inform him.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Bo didn't receive any instructions from his new boss. It was almost the end of the month when he would receive his salary. Many shop assistants called him to ask if he had received his salary for this month. Zhang Bo thought about it and decided to go to the shop to take a look. It would be best if he could meet the boss. If he couldn't, it was only right to check the doors and windows and clean them.
Could it be that they had been robbed? Zhang Bo pushed open the door and entered the shop. He immediately smelled a foul odor. He followed the smell to the second floor and saw a person lying next to a booth in Linjiang. There was a knife in his back.
Oh my god, someone died! Zhang Bo was quite bold. After the shock, he went over to take a look. The person who died there was the new boss who had not been heard from for the past few days.
Xu Musheng arrived at Yun Yuan Dormitory at the east end of Jiangbei City at around ten o'clock in the morning. Yesterday, he had heard Qin Ruoying say that they would meet at their dormitory building, but he was actually reluctant.
It was said that there was a lot of trouble in front of Princess Tower. The boy stood downstairs waiting for the girl. Being pointed at by passersby was a necessary test, and being reprimanded by the girl who came out of the building was a common failure. Occasionally, two boys would fight when they realized that they were waiting for the same girl.
Xu Musheng had never had any friends, and his skin was thin. He had never done such an embarrassing thing, and he never wanted to do it. Who would have thought that he would have to go through such a test when he was about to graduate? Fortunately, the students who had classes at this time had already gone to the teaching area. Those who had no classes were still sleeping. There were not many people in the dormitory area.
Xu Musheng curiously sized up the three of them. He walked to the corner and took out his phone to call Qin Ruoying. At this moment, he saw Mu Yunwan walking down the stairs. Xu Musheng put down his phone and greeted Mu Yunwan, only to see her expression of shock.
Was there a need for that? Xu Musheng muttered in his heart. Qin Ruoying asked me to come. Didn't she tell you?
Soon, Xu Musheng realized that Mu Yunwan's shock was not because of him. When the three men saw Mu Yunwan, they immediately surrounded her. The middle-aged man with a big belly shouted in a foreign accent,"You bitch! You don't know what's good for you and harmed my son. I'll beat you to death, you b * tch!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Mu Yunwan's face. Mu Yunwan subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, but she was still forced back a few steps by the slap.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Xu Musheng hurriedly rushed over and protected Mu Yunwan behind him. The auntie who was guarding the door also ran out of the gatehouse in a hurry.
"Scram to the side!" The middle-aged man also pushed Xu Musheng. Xu Musheng smelled a strong smell of alcohol from his breath. It seemed that he had drunk a lot.
