    The vendors on the long street were shouting bustlingly. Amidst the noise, Qiao Zhuo got out of the car and stepped into the garment shop, followed by only two maids.

    The owner of the shop caught a glimpse of the stunning beauty behind the cabinet, immediately put down his work, wrapped the tape measure around his neck, and hurriedly greeted him with a friendly smile: "Boss Qiao, come to see some costumes?"

    Qiao Zhuo glanced up, and responded lightly: "Are there any new ingredients?"

    The shop owner nodded and smiled repeatedly, and did not forget to turn around and order the waiter to pass the tea, and then bent down to meet Qiao Zhuo when he took his seat, "I'll get it for you right away."

    Qiao Zhuo sat lazily on the wooden chair, and the system in his brain said: "Host, the male lead's career growth value is +10."

    Qiao Zhuo raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked: "Did Yan Muyuan find a way to deal with me in Jiangcheng?" This person was only humiliated by himself at the banquet yesterday, but he contacted him early this morning, and his methods are powerful.

    The system seemed to be honored, and said: "He is the hero of the small world!"

    Qiao Zhuo lowered his long eyelashes like crow feathers, and said with a sneer, "Let's see who is more capable."

    When the system heard the words, the door was instantly aroused, but then it reminded: "The hostess Ran Qing is about to pass this street, please seize the opportunity."

    Qiao Zhuo held the teacup in his hand, before the tea cooled down, the shop owner came back wiping sweat from his brow, and five or six waiters behind him were holding the ingredients and panting.

    "Boss Qiao, these are all new ingredients reserved for you, try them in?"

    Qiao Zhuo waved his hands at the two girls, and tapped the tea table with his fine fingers when he got up, "The tea is good."

    Upon hearing the words, the shop owner hurriedly asked the waiter to pack several large boxes.

    The biggest customer of this shop is Qiao Zhuo, so the shop owner specially built an exclusive dressing room for Qiao Zhuo with a wide door, and no one dared to enter except him.

    Qiao Zhuo stood in front of the mirror and unbuttoned his collar, looking back at the two girls, "Go down."

    The door was closed softly, Qiao Zhuo was rummaging leisurely in front of the clothes hanger with his arms open, the clothes materials sent by the shop owner were all beautiful colors for costumes, even Qiao Zhuo was dazzled by the door for a while.

    The system suggested: "Host, maybe you can try them all."

    Qiao Zhuo is thin and thin, and his skin is as white as cold jade. Any beautiful color on him is extremely luxurious, and it is difficult to let go of it.

    Suddenly, Qiao Zhuo stopped, his eyes were full of disbelief.

    The system looked over suspiciously, and couldn't hold back a burst of laughter.

    Qiao Zhuo's face was gloomy, clutching the bluish-white cheongsam with low slits in his hands, and asked, "I want it myself?"

    The system tried its best to hold back a smile, and comforted: "It's just a villain, the host please don't resist."

    Qiao Zhuo reached out and took the cheongsam off the hanger. don't know if it was because of the influence of the character design or something else, but he didn't feel much resistance to the cyan cheongsam in his hand. Instead, he really wanted to try it on. Men wear cheongsams., how strange can it be?

    ——

    The corridor on the second floor of the restaurant was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. The guy with the gun on his waist stood guarding the door of the private room, each with a dignified expression. Everyone knew that what was being discussed inside was a big deal, and they dared not neglect in the slightest.

    On the right side of the table, Yan Muyuan's cold face became sharper because of pursing his thin lips. The man cut to the chase and asked, "How much power does Gu Changhuai have now?"

    On the left side of the table sat a well-built middle-aged man with fine lines at the corners of his eyes, only one pair of eyes was clear, and his voice was hoarse and lowered: "Seventy percent, the Jiangcheng guards obey his orders, and he also obeys that one's orders.".”

    The 'that' in the man's mouth refers to Qiao Zhuo, the local snake in Jiangcheng.

    Standing behind the middle-aged man, Wang Qing called out: "Deputy Director, I received an order last night. Director Gu stepped up his patrol at the pier. It seems that he will thoroughly investigate every cargo ship that enters the river from today onwards. Boss Qiao didn'tThose who are good will be stopped."

    Hearing this, Ma Cheng immediately cursed in a low voice: "Greedy, really greedy!"

    Yan Muyuan lowered his eyes and took a sip of the cold tea, rejecting Wang Qing's move to add tea.

    Yan Muyuan stared at Ma Cheng, the deputy director of the Jiangcheng Police Department, and said in a deep voice, "I have to thank the deputy director for my batch of goods, but the smelter cannot be built now, and it cannot move forward."

    Yan Muyuan really didn't expect that the entire Jiangcheng was like an iron bucket from the inside to the outside, and if he wanted to get a share of the pie, he had to recognize Qiao Zhuo as the head, but Yan Muyuan didn't want to recognize him, because he had great ambitions and wanted to take the snake into his arms.

    Ma Cheng didn't know the situation in Jiangcheng, how many people he had invited in these years, and in the end he was either brought under Qiao Zhuo's command or pushed out. Ma Cheng is about to retire now, and Yan Muyuan, who is domineering and powerful, is his last hope.

    "We need heavy industry. Heavy industry is the hope and the future." Ma Cheng clenched his fist and slammed on the table, and the sound of thud made the people outside the door jump.

    "Jiangcheng..." Ma Cheng lowered his eyes and sighed, "Jiangcheng is rich in resources. It should have built national enterprises, iron mines, coal mines and oil, which one is not what we urgently need now!? But now all mines, all minesQiao Zhuo has all the distribution channels in his hands, if he doesn’t let go, if he’s not full, how can we survive?”

    Wang Qing also became emotional when he heard the sound, "Deputy Bureau, find a few people..." He didn't say the last words, but stretched out his hand to stroke his neck, and Ma Cheng and Yan Muyuan instantly understood.

    Yan Muyuan stroked the teacup with his fingers, and said firmly, "No."

    And Ma Cheng on the opposite side also said: "It's really a bad strategy. Many people have assassinated him over the years, but they all failed in the end. Qiao Zhuo is too scheming and his methods are cruel and ruthless. Playing tricks in front of him is undoubtedly a trick."

    As Ma Cheng said, he looked at Yan Muyuan, thinking that perhaps only such a shrewd brat would have a chance.

    Ma Cheng said, "I heard that Mr. Yan went to Boss Qiao's birthday party yesterday."

    Yan Muyuan's aura was domineering and cold, Ma Cheng was startled when he raised his eyes, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Deputy Bureau Ma is well informed, I just got kicked out after suffering a big loss."

    Ma Cheng wasn't too surprised by this, and Qiao Zhuo only did a lot of things like this.

    Ma Cheng sighed: "I will deal with the matter of the factory again, and I hope that Mr. Yan will still try his best to get acquainted with Boss Qiao.It is good to build a factory with strength, but if this road fails, we can only..."

    Ma Cheng didn't continue as he said, he just reached out and patted the protruding part of the side waist, making a bang.

    Yan Muyuan understood, Hanli stood up straight, and Ma Cheng breathed a sigh of relief with his presence-filled aura.

    Yan Muyuan is a ruthless character, Ma Cheng invited him with the idea of making Yan Muyuan and Qiao Zhuoshi bump into each other, and now it seems that this way really works.

    Yan Muyuan looked out of the window and said in a deep voice: "To pull Qiao Zhuo off the horse, the focus must be on the minions around him. Du Ci, Gu Changhuai, Gu Guifan... Without the escort of these people, Qiao Zhuo will lose at least 40%."

    Wang Qing frowned, "But the Du family and the Gu family are not easy to mess with."

    Yan Muyuan's side face was gloomy and stern, "I don't dare to guarantee it for other people, but Gu Changhuai is 100% sure."

    Ma Cheng got up abruptly, leaning on the tea table with an excited expression, "Really?"

    Gu Changhuai has been sitting in the position of the director of Jiangcheng for a long time, Ma Cheng has been trying to get him off the horse for many years but has not made any progress. It has only been a few days since Yan Muyuan came to Jiangcheng, can he really do it?

    Yan Muyuan didn't say any more, his eyes were sharp and cold, like stars in the night, and he said, "I just want to ask, does Deputy Director Ma believe me or not?"

    Ma Cheng took half a step back and looked at Wang Qing. The two of them thought for a while, only to hear Ma Cheng say ruthlessly, "Trust! Mr. Yan, we trust you."

    Yan Muyuan's expression didn't change when he heard the words, as if he had made up his mind about this conversation, but the man nodded lightly, "It's no use staying longer, I'll leave first, Deputy Director Ma wait for my news."

    Seeing Yan Muyuan turn around, Ma Cheng also said: "Mr. Yan, I can rest assured that you can do things. Leave the factory to us."

    Yan Muyuan left without looking back.

    The long street was still bustling, but there were a few circles of people in the distance who didn't know what happened. The driver, Lao He poked his head out and watched for a long time before turning back to Yan Muyuan and saying, "Mr. Yan, there seems to be a car accident ahead, do you want to change the road?"

    Yan Muyuan sat in the back seat and wanted to answer, but when he turned his head, he accidentally glanced, and suddenly saw two girls standing at the door of the garment shop, with braids and black eyes, they were the girls who often followed Qiao Zhuo to light cigarettes for him.

    Yan Muyuan: "Stop the car."

    Lao He hurriedly stopped the car along the side of the road, only to see Yan Muyuan opened the door and walked down without saying a word, striding towards the garment shop.

    The shop owner had just packed a few packs of tea when he saw a tall man walking in. He had a handsome and dignified face, and he was full of domineering aura.After a while, I saw him standing firmly inside the door and asked, "What materials do you have here?"

    The shop owner blinked and asked carefully, "Master, are you sending a girlfriend or a sister?"

    While looking for Qiao Zhuo's figure in a small shop, Yan Muyuan responded nonchalantly, "I will wear it myself."

    The shop owner who got the answer was stunned for a few seconds, then scanned Yan Muyuan's figure up and down, and realized that the other party must have misunderstood something, with an apologetic smile on his face: "I'm afraid this master has misunderstood, our shop specializes in women's costumes and cheongsams.", I'm afraid there is no one suitable for you."

    Women's costume cheongsam?!

    Yan Muyuan's heart was shocked, he thought of something, his fingertips started to tingle, his eyes just happened to fall on the new cheongsam hanging on the hanger, his hands shook uncontrollably, the fork almost reached his waist, Qiao Zhuo really liked itwear this?

    Qiao Zhuo still loves to sing, and Yan Muyuan recalled the first time he met Qiao Zhuo, when the other party was finishing singing, but he didn't have time to see the other party dressed up in costumes, thinking about it, Yan Muyuan only felt his throat suddenly dry, My throat became hot.

    Yan Muyuan was afraid that he would lose face in front of everyone, so he pulled a tie and walked into the fitting room door, "I can always try this."

    The owner of the store didn't dare to stop him, so he said anxiously: "My lord, the three outer locker rooms can be used, only the innermost door...!"

    Can't use three words to dissipate outside the corridor, Yan Muyuan walked along the innermost dressing room.

    Qiao Zhuo just put on the cheongsam, but the zipper on the back couldn't be closed, and the system prompt sounded suddenly: "The male protagonist Yan Muyuan's career growth value +20."

    Qiao Zhuo stood in front of the mirror with his back uncovered, raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this, "He's not idle."

    Before the system could make a sound, the door of the dressing room behind him was pushed open with a bang, Qiao Zhuo was startled, who would dare to come in?!

    As soon as Qiao Zhuo turned his head, he saw Yan Muyuan standing at the door holding a tie in his hand. The man's expression was blank, his eyes were blank, and he was obviously startled while holding the doorknob.

    Yan Muyuan's ear pinna and neck were instantly popular, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't go in, but pretended to be warmhearted shamelessly, and asked, "Boss Qiao, do you need help?"
