NOVEL NEXT Chapter 239
Back at the hotel,
Wang Tian asked Zhang Ruichen to rest, and he himself claimed to go around the hotel to take a look.
It's just an excuse. In fact, he didn't want Zhang Ruichen to know that he needed to find out more about the Shen family's depths.
When he came to the back street of the hotel, Wang Tian saw a shoe stall from afar.
Wang Tian walked over quickly. An old man was tinkering with a pair of leather shoes.
"Master, I'll shine my shoes. "
"Okay, boss, sit down. "
"Old man, how many years have you been at this shoe stall?" Wang Tian took the initiative to find a topic.
"Boss, I've been here for almost 20 years. "
"It seems that the old man is making a lot of money. "
"It's impossible to make a lot of money like the boss, you just get up early and stay late to find a living. "
"Old man, have you heard of the Shen family?"
"Of course I've heard of the Shen family on the industrial street. "
"Can you tell me what you know about the Shen family?"
"Absolutely. "
The old man carefully and skillfully polished his shoes while talking about the Shen family.
"Since I was born in Daozhuang, I have known the Shen family. They are not only the largest family in the region, but also a well-known chaebol. "
"Has the Shen family been in business for generations?"
"It's not. In the past, the Shen family basically went to the official mansion. It wasn't until about a decade ago that they began to move from politics to business. "
"It's not surprising that there has always been no separation between government and business. "
However, although the Shen family is in politics and involved in the business world, their reputation has always been very good. "
"What do you say?".
That is to say, they operate with integrity, pay attention to quality, and provide considerate service, and never bully others with power, and do not rely on political means to speculate for profit. What's even more popular is that the Shen family has always been kind and benevolent, helping the weak and the disabled, and helping the poor. "
"Are these all things that you have heard about the elderly, or have you seen and experienced them with your own eyes?"
"I've heard a lot, and I've experienced a lot of it myself. "
"I want to hear about it. "
"A few decades ago, I was a rag-picker. Once, at the gate of a compound of the Shen family, I met the wife of the eighth master of the Shen family, 'Dongfang Yunzhu'. "
"Old man, wait a minute. "Suddenly hearing the surname 'Dongfang', Wang Tian's mood became irritable. "Can I interject two questions first?"
"Boss, please. "
"I know
that the Shen family is very big, but I don't know how many brothers they have?".
"In this generation of the Shen family, there are 12 brothers, from the eldest master, the second master, the third master to the twelfth master. "
"So, the eighth master you are talking about is the eighth of the twelve brothers of the Shen family?"
"Exactly. "
"The eighth master's wife's name is 'Dongfang Yunzhu', I want to ask, is the surname of this 'Dongfang' also a big family in Daozhuang?"
"'Oriental' is also a 'family' in the local area, which can be regarded as an ordinary third-rate family. But since the second lady of the 'Dongfang Bai' family, that is, 'Dongfang Yunzhu', married the eighth master of the Shen family, 'Shen Jinteng', the social status of the 'Dongfang family' has risen. In addition, 'Oriental Yunzhu' is kind-hearted and pursues public welfare, which has won the hearts of the people for a long time, and has effectively boosted the reputation of 'Oriental Home'. "
"In this way, the Oriental family has also joined the business?".
"Nope. The Oriental family took advantage of the Shen family to focus on politics. Dongfang Bai's eldest young master, Dongfang Yunlong, has been rising steadily since he became regent, and he is currently the 'city lord' of Daozhuang. By the way, speaking of this 'Oriental Cloud Dragon', there is also a good story that has been passed down to the world. "
"What is it?" Wang Tian's heart clenched.
"Almost a year ago, Dongfang Yunlong, who reached the age of 60, was 'old and girly', which made the Dongfang family happy. I heard that the woman's name was 'Oriental Jasper'. This woman has excellent natural appearance and talent, and is deeply loved. Not long ago, the Dongfang family just held a '100-day banquet' for this girl, which caused a great sensation in Daozhuang. "
"Could this 'Oriental Jasper' be the reincarnation of Yaoyao?" Wang Tian couldn't wait to reveal it in person. He deliberately took a deep breath to force himself to steady his mind. "Old man, let's continue to talk about the 'Oriental Cloud Pearl' you encountered before. "
"Good. After I picked up the rags and met Mrs. 'Dongfang Yunzhu', she not only gave me a lot of rags, but also gave me 500 yuan. Let me go to the street and set up a 'shoe stand', which is the stall you see now from the boss. At the beginning, the 'chengguan' always came to find trouble, and after Mrs. 'Dongfang Yunzhu' found out, she went to the 'chengguan' to communicate, so that my shoe stall has stabilized since then. "
"This lady of 'Oriental Yunzhu' is indeed 'seeing great goodness in small things'. "
"After my wife helped me fix the shoe stall, she often came to see me and brought me clothes and food. It's as if I was her family. Let me forget about being widowed and lonely, and always be warm and happy. "
"Old man, where is the home of this 'Oriental Cloud Dragon'?"
"Boss, you're going to find the city lord to do something, right?"
"It's not like that. I just asked casually, but it wasn't really fine. "
"The home of the Oriental City Lord is easy to find, right in the south, the most famous 'Golden Shore of the Viewing Lake'. "
"Okay, old man, how much?".
"10 van dollars. "
"Here, don't look for it. Wang Tian handed over a sheet of 100 yuan.
"The owner was so generous. Thank you!".
