The breakfast was still very rich. As soon as we sat down, a burly man walked in surrounded by a group of people. He saw that this man was muscular and dressed in a dark green tight camouflage uniform highlighted the lines more clearly. He saw us from afar, walking vigorously, and shouted in an extremely loud voice: "Ahha, Miss Linglong, you are here! Since Qiao Jun learned that you were going to Mangshi, he rushed over from Kunming immediately."

Linglong smiled and said, "Are you the Southwest Tiger Qiao Jun?"

Qiao Jun walked to the table, bent down slightly at Linglong, and said, "Miss, do you know my nickname back then? They were all given by my friends and brothers when I was young. I dare not be the one you call me like, Miss."

"I heard from my old man that you have mentioned you many times. The Southwest branch has outstanding capabilities and outstanding performance, and Mr. Qiao has made an indelible contribution. After the company's reform, only the Southwest branch has changed its business operations on time, and the profits handed over to the headquarters have increased instead of falling. The old man praised this."

"After the old man ordered that no more pitting and shipment, the Yunnan branch immediately handed over the existing goods to the headquarters and notified friends and customers in the circle that the Cao Group would no longer do this business. Then he concentrated the funds in his hand, immediately transformed, and operated the original jade, medicinal materials and building materials business as the main business. The profit was pretty good, but the brothers worked a little harder than before." Qiao Jun said.

"Well, it's very good. You are a master who is in charge of the pit, and it's not bad to do business. Mr. Qiao is indeed the pillar talent mentioned by the old man. By the way, when did you arrive?" Linglong asked.

"I heard that you were going to Mangshi, so I drove over immediately. The road was smooth, and I arrived at around 3 a.m. Knowing that you had rested, I took a break in the guest room next to me for a while." Qiao Jun looked at us and asked, "Ashun, Ali, the two brothers, have come too? Thank you all the way, thank you! Are these friends?"

Based on my understanding of Ashun, he disdained the person in charge of the branch. Unexpectedly, seeing Qiao Jun ask, he immediately got up and nodded to him, saying, "Old Qiao, these are Long Fourth Master, Mr. Xia, Mr. Han, Mr. Xu, and Mr. Luo, all the friends of the eldest lady. The four here are brothers from the headquarters."

I was secretly surprised. It seemed that Ashun knew Qiao Jun, the person in charge of the Yunnan branch, and Ashun respected him very much. This Qiao Jun is not simple, he is not the same person as Mo Laojiu.

"Good luck! You are friends of the young lady, and you are my guests of Qiao Jun. In Yunnan, you must let you have fun!" Qiao Jun bowed and said.

"Mr. Qiao is polite! I'm here this time, I'm really worried about it, so I can't help but disturb Mr. Qiao." The Fourth Master stood up and said with a polite reverently.

We all stood up one after another and greeted Qiao Jun. Zhao Ming and others even stood up and bent down to greet Qiao Jun.

I even murmured even more. At that time, Mo Laojiu was not treated like this. Where did Qiao Jun come from?

Linglong saw that Qiao Jun was standing all the time, so she quickly asked someone to add a seat, add tableware, and leave him to have breakfast together.

I saw that the waiters inside Mangshi subsidiaries were busy adding bowls and chopsticks to Qiao Jun, and took the opportunity to walk to Ali and whispered to find out how to do Qiao Jun.

Ali tilted his head and looked around. Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on Qiao Jun, he came over and whispered: "Qiao Jun is an old friend of the Cao family. Like Mo Laojiu, he used to follow Linglong's father, and his qualifications and seniority are relatively high."

"But I think Ashun is different from Mo Laojiu?" I asked Ali.

"Master Xia, you don't know anything. Mo Laojiu is a slippery man. When he followed the master, he would flatter him. The master liked him more. If he hadn't been protecting him, he would not have reached his current status at all. And Qiao Jun would be different. He is a serious general, low-key and pragmatic person, and he is first-class in both skills and minds. More importantly, he is loyal to the Cao Group. He once tried his best to save the master's life in a pit. Not only did he save the master, but he was also saved by Qiao Jun. Therefore, my elder brother respects Qiao Jun especially."

So that's the case, it's not surprising that Ashun treats Qiao Jun like this. But there is something else that is not clear, so he asked: "Ali, since Qiao Jun is so capable and loyal, he has saved Linglong's father and grandfather, why doesn't Linglong know him?"

"Haha, Mr. Xia, in fact, since the old man and his wife passed away, he has been resentful and his temperament has changed drastically. When he is not outsiders, he always says that he does too many bad things, which damages his good deeds, which leads to the death of the master and his wife. Therefore, he attaches great importance to and protects the eldest lady and does not allow the eldest lady to interfere in the affairs of the outside world. Therefore, the eldest lady has hardly seen people from various branches." Ali replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, Linglong said with a crisp voice: "We won't drink early in the morning. Come on, everyone should use tea instead of wine, and toast Mr. Qiao together!"

Qiao Jun had originally sat down, but when he heard Linglong's words, he immediately stood up again, his voice still loud: "Miss, don't beat Qiao Jun. No matter what, I should respect everyone. First, the eldest lady is the master and I am a servant; second, when the eldest lady and a group of friends came to Yunnan, everyone was a guest, I am the East. No matter which side, I should respect everyone. Please have a drink of the eldest lady and all of your good friends!" As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Jun drank the tea in his hand.

There was a constant laugh. Qiao Jun was humble and respectful to the Fourth Master and Linglong who were sitting in the head, and was close to Brother Shunli and Zhao Ming. He was enthusiastic and generous to me, scholars, Lao Xu and Luo Xiaozi, and cared for and respected the service staff who served the dinner party under the Yangyang. This shows that Qiao Jun is delicate in mind, flexible in wrists, and has high IQ and EQ. As Ali said, he is a talent!

After the meal, we moved to the lounge to continue drinking tea. Seeing that his subordinates had already brewed all the tea cups of Pu'er, Qiao Jun held them away and left them to the ocean to serve the tea.

"Miss, Qiao Jun first accused me. After receiving a call from Brother Ashun last night, I was confused. According to the old man's opinion, the young lady did not interfere in the company's business. Moreover, the young lady was easy to understand and had almost never been to any branch. The last time I met the young lady was fifteen or sixteen years ago, when the young lady was still a little baby. So, for the sake of caution, I reported to the old lady and basically knew the purpose of the young lady's visit. So, please punish me for the crime of secrets and the crime of the superior!"

"It's indeed a Southwest Tiger. He is brave and resourceful in his work and can be ignored. Haha." Linglong also smiled. It can be seen that although Linglong had never seen Qiao Jun, he must have heard Mr. Cao often mention it.

Ashun also said: "It's not wrong for Brother Qiao to do this. In order to protect the eldest lady, the old man rarely lets her show up in public. Every time he acts, Ali and I follow him. We can't just determine the identity of the eldest lady."

Qiao Jun immediately said: "Brother Ashun said this, but I blamed me. I just for the safety of our group. Moreover, recently it was the time for the company to transform. The customers who had good relationships with us and the brothers on the road who used to maintain good relationships with us, because we no longer interfere in antiques and cultural relics, and we no longer organize traps, which caused complaints and hated us. I have to be careful."

"Brother Qiao, it's serious. I don't mean to blame it. This action is even confidential. The old man can tell you bluntly, which shows his trust in you." Ashun said.

Linglong took a sip of tea and said with a laugh: "Well, the taste of Pu'er is really authentic, good, good! Everyone tastes it, drink what they like, and turn around and ask Mr. Qiao to give you a box of each person."

"Haha, no problem, Haiyang, go back and prepare to order the best tea and jade, and give it to each of you good friends." Qiao Jun also smiled and said, Yu Haiyang nodded repeatedly and said yes.

"Miss, the ocean is not an outsider, I can take care of it. Please give me instructions. What will happen next when you come to Mangshi this time?" Qiao Jun asked.

"This time we come to Mangshi, I believe you have heard that we are here to track an organization called 'Soft Club'. According to reliable information, these people have arrived in southwestern Yunnan and got off the plane at Mangshi Airport two days ago. I asked the Yunnan branch to use relations and strength to quickly investigate the whereabouts of this group of people. By the way, the leader of this organization is a Chinese American named Sophie Li, who is about thirty years old."

"Yes, Miss! Let's go check immediately. Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we will find these people." After Qiao Jun said that, he stood up and took Yu Haiyang away. As soon as he arrived at the door, he stopped again and turned to Ashun and said, "Brother Ashun, I have been asking you to take the young lady around these days. When there is news, I will report to the young lady immediately."

After they left, the Fourth Master said, "Why did the Sox Club fly from Guangzhou to Yunnan? If you are doing business in Yunnan, why don't you go to Kunming but go directly to Mangshi?"

I took out my phone, turned on the map function, looked at the terrain of Yunnan, and asked Lao Xu: "Lao Xu, I'll ask you something. In history, especially during the Qin and Han dynasties, what are the larger city-states or tribes in Yunnan?"

"Huh? Why do you mention this? When it comes to the Qin and Han dynasties, there is a historical allusion that everyone should know. At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang came to "Seven Captures of Meng Huo" for the stability of the rear of Shu Kingdom and to obtain more war resources. According to legend, this story happened in Yunnan." Lao Xu said.

"Mr. Xia, what did you think of?" the scholar asked me.

"I think Sophie and the others may not be in Yunnan, but in Mangshi. From the map, there are so many airports in Yunnan, they chose Mangshi Airport only because of the terrain characteristics here."

"What are the characteristics? Brother Xia, don't keep it in hiding," said Xiao Zi Luo.

"It's very close to Myanmar! You can drive from Mangshi for two or three hours to reach the national border. Moreover, Myanmar's border defense has always been weak. I heard that giving the villagers of border villages can take people on small roads to cross the border. The reason why they chose this place was only two reasons: either there are what they want in southwestern Yunnan, such as ancient tombs from the Qin and Han Dynasties, or they were to cross the border to Myanmar. Or, there are both reasons." I said after analysis.
