After returning to Earth, Tang Xiu's character has undergone subtle changes. The once pure and stoic character is no longer seen much. Instead, it is closer to human life and has become flesh and blood. The changes in his emotions and desires are affecting him all the time.
now.
Tang Xiu looked at his disciple who was unconscious in his arms. Even though he was prepared, he still felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Therefore, the hatred towards Yin Mo Zhu Wushou became even stronger.
Tang Xiu gently hugged Gu Yan'er and let her lie flat on the hospital bed. Seeing that she was still frowning in a coma, as if she was suffering from painful torture, Tang Xiu couldn't help but murmur softly: "Yan'er, why?" Master will definitely cure you, and will definitely let the evil demon Zhu Wushou live in miserable wailing for thousands of years and millions of years."
On the seventh floor of the cold Linglong Pagoda, Tang Xiu sat cross-legged next to Gu Yan'er, quietly looking at Gu Yan'er's beautiful face for a long time.
finally.
When the sun sets and the sun rises, and a new day comes, he rises from the sky and resolutely leaves the seventh floor. When he arrived at the first floor of the Linglong Pagoda, he saw Ji Jinmei sitting cross-legged on the futon in the center, practicing silently. And the immortal energy fluctuations coming from her body were very strong.
"Lord."
When Ji Jinmei noticed Tang Xiu coming down, a sad look flashed in her eyes, she stood up respectfully and said.
Tang Xiu's expression was very cold. He nodded lightly and said, "Ji Jinmei, I will leave Yan'er to you. Your most important task is to protect her safety. When she wakes up next time, I will teach her Give me a set of the most top-notch cultivation techniques in the immortal world, as well as a magical combat skill."
"yes!"
Ji Jinmei said respectfully.
Tang Xiu left Linglong Pagoda and had no intention of staying at Baiyan Restaurant, so he had someone drive him to the airport and take a passenger plane to Shanghai.
When he arrived in Shanghai, it was already noon. Because he was thinking about the "Burial Diamond", Tang Xiu took a taxi directly to the Glory Auction House.
A magnificent building with thirty or forty floors. When Tang Xiu came back, he checked the information about Glory Auction House on his mobile phone and found that except for the general manager of Glory Auction House named Hou Qingmin, he could not find out who the big boss behind the scenes was.
"Hello, sir, you need to show your work ID to enter. If you are not a staff member of our auction house, please enter from the next door passage. There is a registration desk over there." Like the card swiping machines in a subway station, all six entrances are closed. . On the side, a woman wearing a blue suit and a work badge said.
Tang Xiu glanced at her and followed her instructions to enter from the next door passage.
"Hello, sir, what do you want to do with your visit to our Honor Auction House?" In front of the registration desk, two female staff members were sitting inside, one of whom asked with a professional smile.
Tang Xiu said: "I want to see Hou Qingmin."
"What?"
The two female staff members were stunned when they heard this, with strange looks in their eyes.
Tang Xiu repeated: "I want to see Hou Qingmin, please help inform him."
One of the staff members smiled bitterly and said: "Hello, sir, if you want to see our general manager, you need to make an appointment in advance. In addition, you only need to register with us and go inside to find the lobby manager. As for whether he can help you, we I don’t know.”
"Register!"
Tang Xiu took the registration book, wrote his name and contact information on it, and strode into the lobby on the first floor. In the lobby, there was a row of tables and chairs, with two middle-aged men and women sitting inside.
"Excuse me, who is the lobby manager?"
Tang Xiu glanced at the two of them and asked aloud.
The middle-aged woman stood up, nodded and smiled: "I am, who are you?"
Tang Xiu said: "My surname is Tang, Tang Xiu. I came to your Glory Auction House this time because I want to meet Hou Qingmin, the general manager of your auction. If it is convenient, please inform me."
The lobby manager smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Tang, our general manager will not see guests for the time being. Can you leave your contact information and your identity certificate? Later, when our general manager is finished, I will submit your information."
Tang Xiu frowned and said, "Is it so troublesome?"
The lobby manager said: "Mr. Tang, this is the rule of our Honor Auction House."
rule
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment, then dialed Chi Nan's mobile phone number and said, "Help me check the contact information of Hou Qingmin, general manager of Glory Auction House. The sooner you can give it to me, the better."
"Boss, I have it!"
Chi Nan's voice came from the phone.
Tang Xiu showed a hint of surprise and asked, "Do you know Hou Qingmin?"
Chi Nan smiled and said: "We have a bit of a friendship. He once broke into the Qianji Array at the Jingmen Island headquarters of our Baiyan Restaurant, but unfortunately it ended in failure. Later, he came to our branch of Baiyan Restaurant in Shanghai to eat many times. So I know him and have his personal contact details.”
Tang Xiu said: "That's just right. Come to the Glory Auction House now. I'll wait for you here."
"yes!"
Chi Nan agreed and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Inside the long table, the lobby manager looked at Tang Xiu strangely. Although she didn't know who Tang Xiu called, but from the content of their chat, she might be able to contact the general manager Hou Qingmin.
"Mr. Tang, can I take the liberty to ask, what is your profession?" The lobby manager pondered for a moment and then asked softly.
Tang Xiu said: "I am a student."
student
The lobby manager secretly smiled bitterly.
Tang Xiu pointed to the chair beside him and asked calmly: "Can I sit here and wait for my friend?"
The lobby manager nodded and smiled: "Please take a seat."
After Tang Xiu sat down, he waited quietly. In order to pass the time, he took out a book on economics from his travel bag and read it silently.
More than twenty minutes later.
""Principles of Economics"? Not bad, young man, you are reading this kind of book at such a young age. I see you are reading the English version, can you understand it?" A voice sounded next to Tang Xiu, and he was immersed in the content. Tang Xiu woke up with a start.
Tang Xiu raised his head, glanced at this tall, cool-looking middle-aged man, then lowered his head again, looked at the contents of the book, and said lightly: "It's not bad!"
Seeing Tang Xiu's performance, the middle-aged man immediately grinned and said: ""Principles of Economics" is a book published by the Machinery Industry Press in 2003. The author is N. Gregory Mankiw. This book is a relatively basic economic book. Textbooks that are more commonly used at this stage include Mankiw, Soros, Varian and others, and the corresponding Chinese and English versions. In fact, many of our Chinese businessmen read "Western Economics" that is suitable for our Chinese national conditions. Generally similar.”
Tang Xiu put down the book in his hand again, looked up at the middle-aged man and said, "Are you showing off your cultural level? If so, I would like to ask a question."
The middle-aged man laughed dumbly and said: "Young man, don't be angry. Tell me, what question do you want to ask? If it's about economics, I should be able to answer one or two. If it's about business, I know better."
Tang Xiu said calmly: "Then answer me, which group company will be the dark horse that will emerge in the domestic business community in the next few years?"
"this… "
The middle-aged man was speechless.
Although he has been in the business world for decades and now has huge assets and owns many types of group companies, he really can't tell which dark horse will emerge in the business world in the next few years. Group companies.
Tang Xiujing waited for more than ten seconds and found that he couldn't answer, then he said calmly: "Since you can't even answer my question, don't interrupt my study. You look well-dressed, and you don't look like an ordinary person. Don't you know Isn’t it rude to bother others without even introducing yourself?”
The middle-aged man laughed dumbly and said: "I'm sorry, I am Yang Zhenpan, a businessman. I have some shares in this Honor Auction Company. May I ask what you call me?"
"Tang Xiu!"
Tang Xiu's expression changed, he stood up and asked, "Do you have shares in the Glory Auction House? Can you do me a favor?"
Yang Zhenpan frowned slightly, but soon relaxed it, looked at Tang Xiu carefully, and then said: "There is no problem in helping. As long as it is within my ability, I can naturally help you. But before helping you, , you have to answer me a question."
"you say!"
Tang Xiu nodded and said.
Yang Zhenpan asked with a smile: "I really can't answer the question you asked me just now. Because I really haven't found any powerful group companies to emerge in recent years, let alone the next few years. That dark horse came out of nowhere. So, I want to hear your results?"
Tang Xiu said calmly: "Shengtang Group."
Yang Zhenpan was stunned and said hesitantly: "The name of this group company is somewhat familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere, but when you suddenly said it, I couldn't remember it for a while. Can you tell me about it? What’s going on with the Shengtang Group?”
Tang Xiu smiled lightly and said, "I don't think you need to ask me. You just need to send someone to investigate."
Yang Zhenpan frowned again. He pondered for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a group of mobile phone numbers. After the other party answered, he said: "Help me investigate the situation of Shengtang Group. Within three minutes, I want to Know the outcome.”
"yes!"
Yang Zhenpan hung up the phone, sat down directly on a chair nearby, and said with a smile: "Little brother, wait for me for three minutes. It should be fine, right?"
Tang Xiu nodded and sat down.
The lobby manager and the middle-aged man at the long table had dumbfounded expressions on their faces, looking at Tang Xiu with strange eyes.
They were really speechless, because what Tang Xiu was looking for was Hou Qingmin, the general manager of Glory Auction House, and the person sitting next to him was the boss of Glory Auction House and the immediate boss of General Manager Hou Qingmin. However, the big boss had just hinted them not to talk too much, so they could only sit at the long table and go about their business in an angry and funny manner.
