Next to him, Lao Tian also looked at it carefully for a while, then gently tore off the notice selling cell repair solution, folded it and put it in his pocket.
"You have used up all the cell repair solution at home, so I need to buy some back for later use," Lao Tian explained.
Chen Xiao nodded silently.
In fact, he felt that his brain was somewhat exhausted.
Home... turns out to be like this.
"Where are we going now?"
"Go to the liaison office." Lao Tian laughed: "The service agency's official external liaison office on the island, where can I enthrone you and tell them that I brought you here."
…
The liaison office that Lao Tian mentioned is actually the big house at the end of this town... The shape of this house is very much like a church, but there is no cross on the roof.
There were only a few people in the liaison office, sitting lazily behind desks in the house - but in a friendly manner.
It seemed that everyone here knew Lao Tian, and everyone greeted him warmly and chatted with him for a while. Later, according to Lao Tian's introduction, everyone looked at Chen Xiao standing behind with curious eyes.
"it's him?"
A person from the liaison office looked at Chen Xiao with a smile. This man looks very clean, wearing a light-colored shirt and short hair. He took out a document: "Sign your name on it, and I will report it immediately. If early, tonight, or at the latest tomorrow morning, someone will pick you up and take you to the headquarters."
After a pause, he looked at Lao Tian: "Where do you live?"
"I don't know yet, I plan to go to the Champagne Inn."
"Haha, Champagne Inn? Lao Tian, do you also like to stay at the Champagne Inn? I didn't expect that an old man like you would also be interested in Champagne."
Lao Tian quickly shook his head: "Don't be kidding, I'm not that kind of kid. I just miss the braised pork rice from that place."
"Haha! Then you have to go early. If you go late, I'm afraid there won't be a room."
The person in the liaison office made a face at Lao Tian.
Chen Xiao was a little confused at first, but after arriving at the place, he quickly understood why the people in the liaison office had such strange expressions.
…
Champagne Inn.
The name is weird. In fact, this is indeed an inn - an inn that looks like the kind of inn described in Chinese martial arts novels.
The lobby on the first floor is the restaurant. Two waiters are standing in the lobby working, and the guest rooms are upstairs.
What surprised Chen Xiao was that when he walked into this inn, the hall was actually full! This made him a little curious. Because I walked all the way in the town and passed many places, I could see that it was very clean here and there were not many people.
But he soon understood the reason for the high guest rate here: most of the guests were young men who looked to be in their twenties or thirties. Easterners, Westerners, and even black people.
The problem is that all the furnishings in this inn are very oriental: the Eight Immortals table, wooden benches, wooden chopstick holders on the table, small white porcelain wine bottles...
Watching a group of foreigners with blond hair, blue eyes and dark skin sitting in a scene where many martial arts stories should take place... it really makes people feel like they are confused in time and space.
It was obvious that the focus of all these young people was the girl sitting behind the counter.
This is a girl with red hair - this is what makes Chen Xiao curious.
This girl looked to be only twenty years old. Judging from the color of her skin and facial contours, she was obviously an Oriental.
I have to say that this girl is extremely beautiful. She is wearing a colorful skirt and her long hair is styled into a braid - this look should be said to be very rustic. But her body seemed to be almost perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment.
Especially when she lowered her head as if she was looking at something, fascinated. A pair of eyes as calm as water, the outline of the face is soft, and the eyelashes are slightly trembling.
Seeing this girl, Chen Xiao immediately remembered a poem: The most tenderness of bowing her head!
When Lao Tian walked in, only a few people stood up and greeted him - it's not that most people here didn't know Lao Tian, but everyone focused on the girl behind the counter.
She is indeed beautiful and can attract the eyes of the opposite sex.
Walking to the counter, Lao Tian stretched out two fingers and tapped on the counter twice.
The girl raised her head and glanced at Lao Tian, with a smile in her big eyes: "Yi? Uncle Tian, are you back on the island? How many days will you stay this time?"
"I don't know, maybe two or three days."
The Chinese the girl spoke was a little stiff. Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment and immediately recognized that the Chinese the girl spoke was very similar to the Chinese accents spoken by people from Hong Kong and Taiwan that he had seen at Kidd School.
But then, he saw what the girl was holding that he had just been fascinated by... and was stunned.
Such a classical beauty filled with retro features, sitting there quietly in such a classic inn, could see something...
"fashion magazine"? !
On the title page of the magazine, a model wearing this year's latest Versace spring fashion is posing...
What a bad atmosphere! It ruins the atmosphere...
But the girl just smiled, and then took out a bunch of keys from under the counter: "Upstairs, it's your old room."
Then she seemed to be unwilling to speak anymore, lowered her head, and continued to flip through her fashion magazines with fanatical and envious eyes.
Lao Tian seemed to have gotten used to it, and he knocked on the table again.
"What? Is there anything else?"
"I want to exchange some currency." Lao Tian smiled sheepishly: "I came here in a hurry, and... you also know that I have retired a long time ago and don't have much savings on the island..."
The girl's face was filled with a smile... Unfortunately, her smile was beautiful, but unfortunately, there was a hint of cunning in her eyes - she looked like a little profiteer. It really ruined the fresh beauty of her body even more.
"How much?" The girl squinted her eyes like a little fox.
Lao Tian took out a VISA card from his pocket and pushed it over: "There is a million dollars in it."
The girl took a look, thought for a while, then rummaged under the counter, took out a few colorful things that looked like banknotes, and placed them on the table.
Chen Xiao took a quick look: these indeed seemed to be some kind of banknotes, but they were not the currency of any country he knew.
Because the top banknote is printed with Chinese, English, French, Russian and other seven or eight languages! No other country in the world has such a variety of characters printed on its currency!
The face value of the banknotes also surprised Chen Xiao.
The top one is clearly "500".
Based on the fact that there are no more than ten banknotes on the counter, the total here will not exceed 5,000 yuan...
One million dollars! Can you change this little bit? What currency is this? Is it "Mars Yuan"
Lao Tian took a look and said with a confused look on his face: "This... it seems that the number is a little less."
The girl sighed quietly, but there was a smile in her eyes: "Sorry, Uncle Tian, the current market situation is like this. I have given you the most here. If you don't believe it, you can go to other places and have a look. The most you can do is Give me 90% of what you get here. I still think of it as an old acquaintance... "
Lao Tian sighed helplessly, and could only reach out and take the few banknotes, and thought for a moment: "But these are not enough for what I need. If possible, can I exchange it for something else?"
The girl smiled apologetically: "Uncle Tian, you know that I run an inn, and I don't need those equipment or other things."
Lao Tian scratched his scalp and was about to pull Chen Xiao away.
"etc!"
The girl suddenly exclaimed and stood up from behind the counter!
She stood at a height of about one hundred and sixty centimeters, but the sly businessman look on her face was no longer there. A pair of eyes filled with heat, admiration, excitement... and many other emotional factors, stared at Chen Xiao.
Um
It's not like Chen Xiao has never been stared at by girls with such admiring eyes. When I was working in a fast food restaurant, some little girls would look up at me with similar eyes all day long... But, this stunningly beautiful girl shouldn't be that kind of little girl, right? Moreover, the eagerness in her eyes was even more intense! It was as if a girl had seen the first love she had dreamed of!
Chen Xiao didn't think she would be so charming!
really…
After staring at Chen Xiao for five seconds, the girl took a deep breath, as if her heart was very excited, and her chest was heaving.
"You!" She pointed at Chen Xiao: "Your glasses... can be used for replacement!"
I? Eye? Change
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment.
However, Lao Tian's eyes were filled with joy, and he quickly took off Chen Xiao's sunglasses hanging from the collar of his clothes and placed them on the counter.
The girl's hands were trembling a little. With her slender white fingers, she gently held up the sunglasses, looked at them carefully for a while, and whispered quickly:
"RAY-BAN, the summer limited edition three years ago..."
She gently touched the frame with her fingers, and quickly took out a silk scarf from the table and wiped it carefully.
Chen Xiao bought these sunglasses three years ago, when his parents were still alive and his family was wealthy. He bought these sunglasses as a birthday gift for himself. The world-famous brand Ray-Ban released a classic limited edition back then, which cost about $600 when I bought it.
This time when he went out, he just took it with him casually, thinking that he might come in handy in a city like Sydney. It was just hanging on the collar of my clothes.
Obviously, the target of the girl's excitement is not herself, but these sunglasses? !
"You can sell this to me, and I can exchange it for you with the island's currency." The girl withdrew her eyes and looked at Lao Tian and Chen Xiao pretending to be calm.
Unfortunately, her image of a laid-back profiteer has been completely exposed by now.
"This...according to the regulations of the homeland, the sale of things from the outside world is not allowed on the island, including cars, clothing, electrical equipment, and glasses." Lao Tian smiled slyly.
"It's not considered selling." The girl smiled quickly and said, "These sunglasses belong to this gentleman. I'm just willing to pay him to transfer his personal belongings. It's not considered commercial selling."
"How much do you bid?" Lao Tian smiled slightly.
The girl snorted and took out a piece of currency with a face value of "500" from the counter.
Chen Xiao was stunned! !
Only one million dollars can be exchanged for five thousand! Can you exchange a pair of sunglasses for 500? !
The problem is, these sunglasses are only worth a few hundred dollars...
"make a deal!"
As if he was worried that the other party would regret it, Lao Tian quickly took the banknote back into his arms, laughed, pulled Chen Xiao, who was still in a daze, and hurried up the stairs.
Chen Xiao glanced back in his busy schedule. The girl happily fiddled with the sunglasses and looked them over. She even put them on excitedly and took out a mirror to look at them - just like a child who got a favorite toy.
Chen Xiao felt a little ridiculous.
This kind of sunglasses is not uncommon outside. If I bring ten sunglasses back to buy this girl, wouldn't I be able to exchange them for 5,000 yuan of the island's currency? That’s a million dollars! ! !
"Don't give up on this idea." Lao Tian said with a smirk next to him.
