When Wei Xi saw the car start, he turned around and called out, "Jie Yi!"
The big apprentice hasn't come up yet.
Shuozong, who was on the side, silently closed the car window to block his view, and said calmly: "If you can't sit in the car, they will take a taxi to catch up."
Hearing this sentence, the driver in front couldn't help but cast his eyes from the rearview mirror, and wanted to say that there was still a vacancy for the co-pilot.
But Shuozong turned a blind eye to this. After saying this, he glanced at his mobile phone. There were countless messages from Xia Shouren. He wanted to know that they were all insults. He unlocked and swiped around, but did not see the transfer. The logo, turned it off to mute and threw it aside.
Wei Xi was no longer worried when he heard that the eldest apprentice could take a taxi by himself. He glanced sideways, and Shuo Zongzheng tilted his head with one arm on his forehead and looked at him quietly.
The eyes collided, Wei Xi was slightly startled, and always felt that the other party's silent temperament was very familiar.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the voice of the driver in front: "Mr. Shuozong, where are we going now?"
Shuozong stared at Wei Xi and asked, "What did you just say?"
Wei Xi snorted and frowned, "I can't remember."
Shuozong almost died of anger, and said to the driver with a dark face: "Go to the company. Also, stop talking."
The driver was a little curious about who the stranger who got on the bus next to him was. When he realized that the boss seemed to be in a bad mood, he immediately closed his mouth, wondering in his heart that he was fine when he first got in the car. Why did he suddenly get angry again
There was dead silence in the car, Wei Xi felt a little bored, took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to the second apprentice: "I'm back in the capital."
Just now, the mobile phone that Shuozong threw into his vicinity immediately turned on the screen. Wei Xi subconsciously glanced at it, and it was a message from WeChat. He found that Shuozong was also paying attention, but he didn't move.
Wei Xi didn't wait for the second apprentice's reply, and was playing with the screen unlocked and locked, and when he saw it, he reminded him: "Someone sent you a message."
Shuozong looked at him and seemed to hesitate for a while, but he finally asked, "Who sent it?"
Wei Xi frowned and dialed the phone in his direction while he was waiting: "How do I know, can't you watch it yourself?"
He had never been a curious man, and had no interest in the privacy of unrelated people.
Shuozong: "..."
Wei Xi found that Shuozong's breathing sound seemed to have become heavy, as if he had suffered a very heavy blow.
Too bad he didn't care about it.
*****
Wei Xi originally thought that the company the other party was going to was his own sect, but after the car stopped, he realized that the "company" mentioned by the other party seemed to have nothing to do with him. During the rush hour, in the center of the CBD business district where there is a lot of traffic and people, there is a cluster of towering office buildings. Wei Xi glanced at the unfamiliar and huge company name outside the car window, and said unhappily: "Queer didn't answer me. The information may have also arrived in the capital, and I want to go back."
Shuozong, who was about to get out of the car, glanced at him angrily: "Don't worry, your apprentice can't be at home. He didn't reply because he was mad at you."
Wei Xi: "?"
Shuozong got out of the car and took a deep breath, then reached out and pulled him: "Come down and accompany me to register Qinglong's information."
He seemed to be a little angry, but the strength in his hands was not heavy. After Wei Xi got out of the car, he didn't stand still and his back was supported. And the blazing heat on the back.
The line of the other's jaw was tight, and the Adam's apple protruded neatly. He glanced down at him, his eyes were steady and unwavering, and the shadows cast by his eyelashes moved slightly.
Wei Xi was in a trance for a moment, and felt that there seemed to be a familiar scene in the fragments of his memory, but he didn't know what kind of scene it was in.
The car door closed with a bang, and then came Xia Shouren's suffocating scolding: "Beast, return all the money I've sent to you before!"
The eyes that were looking at him quietly turned away, and Wei Xi heard that the person in front of him didn't care and said, "I think you want to die."
Thinking of his friend's thunder point, Xia Shouren hesitated. He was held in place for a long time, his eyes swept over Wei Xi and his buddies. After a while, he could only speak angrily: "Chongming, you pay for the car!"
Chongming: "...Why? Are you not the leader?"
Xia Shouren's eyes secreted a crystal clear liquid: "I have emptied all my deposits for this operation to let him go to the sea market together."
He feels that he may be the worst leader in the entire company, and the worst beast in the world, no one.
Chongming gave the money with a long sigh, he hesitated, and finally couldn't help saying: "Actually, I have always wanted to know why the same ancient auspicious beasts were born in the prehistoric times, Mr. Xia, you and Mr. Shuozong's strength are so different. "
When Xia Shouren heard this, his hair almost froze: "There's no difference, there is no difference in strength between me and him, okay? There is a reason why people who are not in modern society today are too much money and utilitarian? Nowadays, people are crazy about money. Now, which boss doesn't have a statue of him at home, some people have to pour the first dish to him when they drink tea, do you see who worships me? Don't talk about me, look at yourself, anyway, you are also a magical bird , those arrogant pretenders in our company in ancient times, who gets more worship than him?"
Hearing this, Chongming's suspicions disappeared, and he even had the urge to cry: "What you said is too reasonable, in the new era of socialism, no one can do Mr. Shuozong!"
*****
In the huge office building, the employees who were leaving after get off work were bustling, and when they met Shuozong who brought Wei Xi in, they took the initiative to nod their heads to say hello, and saw the unity and righteousness with infinite enthusiasm: "Master, when will our Taicang sect get to this point? To build such a large-scale office building in the city center is really out of the way.”
Wei Xi also resonated with this very much. Ever since he descended the mountain, he has been yearning for these tall buildings outside. Unfortunately, the land price in the capital is too expensive, and his economic strength is not enough.
He used to listen to Wei Dedao bragging, saying that Taicang Zong used to be famous in the cultivation world, with strong incense and countless disciples. According to Wei Dedao's boast, there are twelve mountain peaks in the two immortal mountains. The peaks are steep and unprecedented in scale, so that other sects in the cultivation world are all in awe and envy.
Whether this history is true or not is another matter. Weixi was really fooled into looking forward to it, thinking what an amazing wealth this is.
Now that he came out and saw the world, he realized that Wei Dedao was a typical countryman without knowledge. What about the famous big sect, actually, from this point of view, thinking that there are two mountains is an incredible thing, and the entire cultivation world is awe-inspiring - no matter how awesome Xianshan is, can there still be an awesome office building in the capital? He later made a special trip to check the land prices in the nearby mountainous areas. Since most of the undeveloped mountainous areas are located in remote areas, the price of commercial housing there is basically only one tenth of that in the capital city, and the price of mountain forests is even lower. At best, the contract fee will be 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year. There are two immortal mountains and twelve mountain peaks. With so many contracts, plus the length of time, the local government may even give preferential prices, and it will not cost one million for a year.
But if you want to rent an office building of that size in the center of Beijing with one million yuan, it is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, the more he understands the market economy, the more Wei Xi sympathizes with Wei Dedao.
If it was him who came to brag about this bullshit, then he would definitely have to tell people that Taicang Zong had more than two floors of office space in the second ring road of the capital. Isn't this more reliable than some bullshit Xianshan
Wei Xi shook his head, feeling more and more that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. The eldest apprentice was right, when can the disciples of the Taicang Sect be allowed to sneak into the office building to practice.
Xia Shouren instinctively felt a little chilly, rubbed his arms and said to Chongming, "I seem to have sensed some bad omens."
He was born with the ability to predict, and Chongming also knew it, and his expression immediately became serious: "Is there any specific omens? Is there another disaster?"
Xia Shouren calculated for a long time, but he could only calculate that this seemed to be a great change that was about to happen to the world of practice.
But hasn't the cultivation world died out long ago
He was puzzled, and in the end he could only shake his head with a bitter face: "Forget it, after the collapse of the heavens, my ability has been greatly reduced. I guess it is wrong again this time."
******
Most of the company was empty, but there were unexpectedly a lot of people left on the top floor. Although it was off-duty time, they seemed to be very busy, and they shuttled back and forth in the office area with solemn expressions.
Wei Xi vaguely heard their voices—
"Where did the new mail come from? What's the deal? The Water Conservancy Bureau? The water level of the Wushan Reservoir is soaring? Threatening the downstream villages? It doesn't seem to have rained there recently. What's the situation?"
"Some local residents photographed strange monkeys near the reservoir. Here, look, this is the photo."
"Fuck, Changyou, it's very clear. This one isn't dead yet. Where did it come from? It can really add to the chaos."
"Hey, who of you are free, go on a business trip to Wushan Reservoir in Liyun City? Report to a five-star hotel for the business trip."
Wei Xi: "Long Right?"
Shuozong stepped out of the elevator behind him, and said in a light tone: "A monkey-shaped water monster that appears will cause flooding."
The employees on the top floor were very different from those who had just left after get off work. When they saw Shuozong who followed Wei Xi out of the elevator, there was no nervousness on their faces, but they just said hello very casually: "Mr. Shuozong, Lao Xia , Chongming, have you guys come back from Jinhai City? How's the Qinglong going? Can you come to work? There have been accidents at the end of the year, and there have been earthquakes and floods. Brothers are all too busy."
Xia Shouren shook his head: "It's just become a dragon, and it hasn't changed shape yet."
The red-haired man who was speaking said regretfully, "The dragons are really useless."
The same red hair, this person's hair color is more vivid than Ming, and even a little golden light is mixed into the fiery red color, from a distance, it looks like a burning flame.
Xia Shouren agreed and asked, "Bi Fang, why are you in such a hurry?"
Bi Fang sighed, pressed the elevator down button, then stepped into the elevator, stretched out his hand and covered a black area of a suspected intercom device under the button: "Wuhua is dry, Lao Qing went on a business trip and caught a nest of fat. Left, keep it downstairs, I'll take a look at it."
A small shimmer of light suddenly appeared in that area, followed by a beep, and at the bottom of the floor key, a metal panel slowly slipped down.
Below the original lowest negative fourth floor, there are more than ten floor options.
After Bi Fang left, Xia Shouren showed an unexpected expression: "Is it because of the fat inheritance? I haven't seen this thing for hundreds of years."
Wei Xi: "Fat legacy?"
Xia Shouren looked at him and felt that he had won: "You don't know this? Are you too ignorant? A snake with one head and two bodies can cause severe drought."
Wei Xi thought thoughtfully: "Is it protecting animals?"
Xia Shouren: "...No."
But it is much rarer than protected animals.
Weixi: "Can I eat that?"
Xia Shouren: "..."
No one would eat this kind of thing...
Shuozong put the information on the table, glanced back at him, but said lightly, "Of course you can."
Xia Shouren: "???"
Shuozong: "And the taste should be good."
Xia Shouren: "..."
Shuozong: "Do you want to eat?"
Wei Xi walked towards him without warning: "Yes."
"Xia Shouren." Shuo Zong shouted, "Go to the 20th floor and ask Bi Fang to pick a fat thing and send it to my house."
Xia Shouren: "???"
The author has something to say: Xia Shouren: "I suspect that my brother's species has changed."
