Early the next morning, Tang Xi woke up and came out after washing up. Just in time, she saw Chu Li was about to go out, and her eyes lit up: "Wait for me for five minutes, give me a ride!"
"I'm not in a hurry, you have eaten your breakfast." Seeing this, Chu Li closed the door again.
"What time did you come back last night?" Tang Xi sat down and took a sip of milk, biting a sandwich and asked vaguely.
"Why, what about bed check?" Chu Li rolled his eyes.
"You're such an adult, how about some snacks?" Tang Xi was not polite.
"I think you want to be my guardian." Chu Li sneered.
Tang Xi was about to refute when the phone on the table lit up. She switched the sandwich to her left hand, picked up the phone and opened it, and couldn't help but froze.
"What's wrong?" Chu Li asked casually.
"Boss Pei said, treat me to dinner." Tang Xi's expression was a little strange.
"He invited you? Why?" Chu Li was puzzled, "He helped you with the lawsuit, and you should invite him."
"Yeah, I was planning to visit on weekends, and I'll stop by to see the old man." Tang Xi nodded.
WeChat flashed, and there was another message.
"He said, it's business, we'll meet and talk." Tang Xi's expression became even weirder, "He must have seen a ghost again, right? Is there such a hapless person? He doesn't have a hapless ghost."
"Wouldn't it be nice for someone to give you money?" Chu Li was relieved when he heard that, "In order to repay Tang Zhenying's sponsorship fee, you have worked for nothing before."
"It's worth spending a little money if you can get rid of the cause and decisiveness!" Tang Xi didn't feel distressed, "Money, if the old one doesn't go away, the new one won't come, don't be afraid."
"Will you go then?" Chu Li asked.
"Go." Tang Xi said naturally, "Boss Pei is also an acquaintance. If you have any difficulties, help him if you can, and earn some extra money by the way."
"I always feel that your 'by the way' is the main reason." Chu Li muttered, and casually threw a card on the table.
"Why?" Tang Xi froze for a moment, then blurted out, "You want to keep|raise me?"
"Can you talk? Besides, can I afford you?" Chu Li's face was darkened, and he couldn't help but hit her hard.
"It's not always written like that in the novels, otherwise why would you give me the card." Tang Xi was aggrieved.
"My salary card!" Chu Li said angrily, "Even if you don't pay the rent, you will always have to pay for the food. Could it be that you pay it alone?"
"Oh." Tang Xi pouted and put away the card.
She is not short of money to buy food, but that is Chu Li's pride, so let's collect it first.
"Let's go!" Seeing her finish eating, Chu Li grabbed the car keys.
Tang Xi followed with her schoolbag, but she didn't let Chu Li deliver it to the school gate, and got out of the car one block away and walked over.
"Xixi~" Xia Shuang stood at the school gate and waved to her. Surprisingly, beside her was Qi Sihui, who had always been timid.
"Why are you together?" Tang Xi ran over with a smile.
"It's not that she's so useless!" Xia Shuang looked disgusted, "Those gangsters are just bullying and afraid of being tough. They don't give you money if they ask for money, and they won't pester you in the future. They dare to beat you right next to the school!"
"I'm sorry..." Qi Sihui lowered her head, her voice was softer than a mosquito, "That... thank you."
Xia Shuang gave a "tsk" and turned away from her.
Tang Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing with a "puchi", one hand in each hand, pulling her towards the teaching building.
"By the way, Xixi, you're hot!" Xia Shuang said.
"What?" Tang Xi was taken aback.
"You don't know yet, do you?" Xia Shuang asked in surprise, "Isn't this a period of time for the school flower selection? Originally, you just transferred here, and you don't like to show up. Not many people in other classes know you, so it's okay." Popularity, but since the day before yesterday, your number of votes has suddenly skyrocketed. It took only two days. I saw this morning that you have already reached the fifth place. "
"The day before yesterday?" Hearing this, Tang Xi suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"Xixi, you are so handsome! You are so powerful!" Xia Shuang's eyes were full of adoring little stars, and he took out his mobile phone to show her.
There was a red post on the top of the campus network forum, titled "The transfer student who got a blast from Class 9, Grade 3, 818!", the number of views had already exceeded 30,000, and more than 70 pages of replies had been turned up.
Tang Xi covered her face, knowing what it was without looking.
Sure enough, the incident at Yongning Mall was filmed, and the landlord intercepted two paragraphs from it, one was from her walking towards the suspect to the moment she fell over her shoulder and knocked him down, and the other was when she rushed over and grabbed the policeman who had fallen from the building. It's only a few tens of seconds, but after editing the soundtrack by the author, it looks even more exciting. It's that burning feeling.
Tang Xi was only thankful that the person who took the video was far away and no sound was recorded. Otherwise, the phrase "the consultant is mighty" that Xiao Liu yelled out would be even more troublesome for her.
"Xixi is the best!" Qi Sihui's voice became louder.
"Didn't this selection start a week ago? I remember that one person has one vote according to the student number, and you can't vote repeatedly or change it. How come there are so many votes?" Tang Xi asked curiously.
"Because, not everyone is interested in the selection of school flowers." Xia Shuang understands it very well, "Basically, the voters in front are boys, and girls feel that they can't be selected, and they don't want to vote for others. This matter. Except for the top few friends and relatives canvassing for votes, most people have never voted."
As soon as they spoke a few words, Tang Xi's ranking moved up one place and became the fourth place.
"You can come in second today." Xia Shuang affirmed, "There are still three days until the selection ends. According to this trend, it is more than enough to catch up with Tang Jing."
"Okay." Tang Xi shrugged, no objection.
She is not interested in the school belle or anything, but she didn't run for the election, so it doesn't matter if she is not on the list. Since so many people voted for her, it would be very aggrieved if Tang Jing came first and she came second.
This has to be first! Otherwise... the campus network will be hacked!
"It's funny to think about it." Xia Shuang laughed again, "In the past, the school belle was selected by the boys. If you are selected as the school belle this year, it will really be selected by all the girls in the school."
In the past, Tang Jing was the eldest lady of the Tang family, and no one could compare with her in her high school background. Moreover, Tang Jing looks good, because she is well-bred, has a good temperament, and is versatile. Of course, she is very popular among boys. Even if not all boys like the weak little white flower, but with the addition of the Tang family, at least half of the votes will be won. If she and Han Zhen are not engaged this year, they will get more votes. There are not as many girls as her alone, they just run with her.
However, her personality is not very attractive to girls, except for a few relatives and friends of her best friends, she is not very popular in other classes.
But Tang Xi is different. The two videos can't tell where the "school flower" looks like a flower. The dozens of pages of replies are all filled with "a burst" and "handsome". Occasionally, some questions question whether they are posing Or the special effects were sprayed back immediately. The news has already reported the hostage-taking incident at Yongning Shopping Mall, and the time of the video is also correct. Besides, it wasn’t just one or two people who took pictures.
Therefore, if Tang Jing has the support of half of the boys in the school, then Tang Xi has the support of all the girls in the school except Tang Jing's relatives and friends. Canvass is much more efficient than boys!
"If you can change it, many boys will vote for you instead. Yesterday, many people complained that they were too fast." Xia Shuang said, "Today, the dean will probably look for you too. Such a typical positive energy, it's strange if you don't promote it well."
"It's better to give some extra points in the college entrance examination." Tang Xi pouted.
It's all because of that unreliable Chu Li! Didn't you say to be a consultant for the serious crime team and give her extra points? snort!
"Don't say it, it's really good!" Xia Shuang said.
"By the way, Xixi, what did you do after taking such a long leave?" Qi Sihui asked.
"Lawsuit." Tang Xi didn't even bat an eye.
"A, a lawsuit?" Qi Sihui was dumbfounded, and said anxiously, "What happened to you? Is it troublesome? Do you want to help?"
"It's not a big deal." Tang Xi wrote lightly, "You will hear the news soon."
She has terminated the parent-child relationship with the Tang family, but the influence of the previous school is still there, and she always feels that if she wants to break it, she must clean it up so that no one will be entangled, so she has already discussed the countermeasures with Lawyer Chen.
"Hey, let's talk about it first." Xia Shuang asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just that a confused entrepreneur mistakenly recognized his daughter." Tang Xi said.
Qi Sihui had a half-knowledge, but someone like Xia Shuang who knew the inside story of the real and fake daughter of the Tang family was dumbfounded, and said after a while: "I know that Tang Jing is not the Tang family's birth, but you are, but I didn't expect Mr. Tang to be so confused. I really don't intend to Rectify your name!"
"Huh? No." Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and said calmly, "I don't know if Tang Jing is my own, but I'm sure I'm not. I've never seen such a shameless person, and the paternity report is all fake. Fortunately, I don't think it's right. The prosecution court went to the inspection again, and he was still in a hurry with me just like that. This person is really strange, he has the wrong child in his arms, and instead of looking for his own, he insists on pestering me for what to do."
Xia Shuang was so outrageous that she even forgot to walk, this... this... the true and false daughter is already as outrageous as written in the novel, who knows that the mess of the Tang family is not the most outrageous, but even more outrageous! The real daughter is actually not real... No, it's the scumbag who insists on making people real!
She immediately thought of Tang Xi's various abilities, and instantly felt that she was the truth.
If she doesn't even look for her own daughter and has to rely on Xixi, she must be trying to take advantage of her abilities! So despicable and shameless!
Qi Sihui didn't think so much, and after she finally figured it out, she subconsciously asked, "Then... where is Mr. Tang's biological daughter?"
"Who knows?" Tang Xi shrugged, nonchalantly, "As long as I am not, I have no obligation to help the Tang family find their daughter."
"That's right." Xia Shuang soon stopped being entangled, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Xixi, the two women who walked past just now are the famous big mouths in the fourth class. What they heard..."
"Very good." Tang Xi blinked.
In case someone would always say that she is a relative of the Tang family, what a shame the Tang family is!
Xia Shuang smiled knowingly, and said, "No wonder Tang Jing looks weird these days."
"Oh? Why is it so strange?" Tang Xi's heart skipped a beat.
"Well... I can't tell you the specifics." Xia Shuang thought for a while, and said with some distress, "Xiao Li sent me a lot of voice messages last night, which means that Tang Jing seems to have changed someone recently. Yes, there are differences in speaking and habits. But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is no difference. In short, I just feel flustered. I didn’t reply to her, but I saw Tang Jing at the school gate in the morning, and I couldn’t tell what was wrong. , It's the way she looks at me that makes people angry."
"Could it be love turned into hate?" Tang Xi laughed.
"Who knows." Xia Shuang hesitated before saying, "Maybe it's because she is afraid that she is a fake phoenix will be exposed in school, so let's break it."
"That's none of our business." Tang Xi said seriously, "Mr. Tang's own daughter doesn't know where she is suffering. Why should she be the eldest lady of the Tang family? Just stay away."
"That's right!" Xia Shuang nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment, and then muttered, "Let me give Xiao Li a message, Tang Jing...it's really not worth it."
"As long as you have the numbers," Tang Xi said.
Just when they reached the dividing line, the three of them divided into two sides and walked towards their own class.
"Xixi, here." As soon as she sat down, Qi Sihui took out a book she had bound and gave it to her, "You have been on leave for more than a week, these are the missing notes for each subject, I will copy and bind them for you."
"Thank you, Sihui, you are really a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, I love you so much!" Tang Xi was overjoyed, and rushed to hug her.
"There is also this notice." Qi Sihui smiled shyly, and gave her another piece of paper, "I originally planned that if you didn't come today, I would send it to you after school."
"What notice? Autumn outing?" Tang Xi said casually, looked down, and couldn't help but froze.
There are not many words, but there are three huge bold and bold words on the head: home, long, meeting!
"Our school is used to holding parent-teacher meetings in the middle of the semester, and you have to hand in the receipt." Qi Sihui added.
"Do you have to participate?" Tang Xi looked hopeless.
"Yeah..." Qi Sihui nodded, and just halfway through speaking, she suddenly remembered that Tang Xi had just said that she had nothing to do with the Tang family, so didn't that mean...she was an orphan
Is no one going to parent-teacher conferences for you? She wanted to ask, but didn't dare to ask.
"If you don't want to call the parents, why don't you just hire one?" Shi Rui smiled and leaned over, "Do you need help in getting a line? Within five hundred, you can choose between your father or your mother."
"Get lost!" Tang Xi kicked him directly.
Her situation is clear in the school, especially since she just changed the guardian information on the file the day before yesterday, so how can she just hire someone to impersonate her.
However, if she went back and told Chu Li to ask him to hold a parent-teacher meeting for her... Chu Li would go crazy, right
No matter how you think about it, it feels dark.
Check the time again... next Wednesday night.
Forget it, there is still time, let's talk.
Maybe it was because they caught too many ghosts a while ago, but they calmed down all of a sudden, and even the serious crime team didn't have any major cases.
Tang Xi went to school normally, and Chu Li was able to get off work on time, and sometimes he could make a detour to pick her up from school when he saw the time was almost the same.
The only thing that is a bit topical is that Xiong Dacheng woke up, but just as Tang Xi expected, he is completely crazy, yelling that there are ghosts at the intersection all day long, and has been transferred to a mental hospital, and there is a high probability that he will be exempted from prosecution .
Of course, it is not easy to come out in this life.
After hearing this, Tang Xi lamented that Sun Haocheng is a typical example of real people who don't talk too much. Sure enough, honest people were angered, and what they could do far exceeded people's imagination.
But did Sun Haocheng really do something outrageous? Nor does it seem.
It's just that Tang Xi knew that that man had stained himself with darkness, and his life would be no better than that of Xiong Dacheng and the pregnant woman's family.
Whether it is worth it or not, outsiders have no way of evaluating it.
On Saturday morning, Tang Xi rummaged through the closet, found a royal blue gold velvet dress that she bought a few days ago, and picked out a pure white windbreaker. When she walked out, she almost choked Chu Li to death.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Chu Li couldn't believe it.
"Strange?" Tang Xi turned around and looked at herself suspiciously.
"It's not strange, but it's rare to see you wearing a skirt, isn't it inconvenient?" Chu Li said.
"The restaurant Boss Pei made an appointment with is quite high-end. It's not polite to wear a sweater and jeans, and it's too eye-catching." Tang Xi explained.
"Should you be so particular about an appointment?" Chu Li was suspicious.
"It doesn't look like they are dating a food stall, and high-end restaurants are more private." Tang Xi didn't think there was anything wrong, picked up her handbag and said, "I'm leaving."
Chu Li watched her bouncing open the door and went out, touched her chin, feeling a little internally injured.
He must have been caught by Yun Qi's words. But... even if he wants to fall in love, Pei Qingzhi is too old! It's best that he has no other ideas, otherwise... Let's start to understand in three years.
Tsk, no, the dead girl is sixteen, so annoying.
The place where Pei Qing made an appointment is called Shengtang. It is an antique Chinese restaurant. I heard that the owner was an imperial chef. The waiters inside are all dressed in exquisite Hanfu. When you walk in, you have the illusion of traveling through time and space.
He didn't say anything about coming to pick up Tang Xi, and the two met directly in the restaurant.
Tang Xi went in and reported the table number, and a waiter brought her there.
"Miss Tang, please sit down." Pei Qingzhi got up.
Tang Xi sat down opposite him, tossed her bag aside, took off her windbreaker and put it on the back of the chair.
"What to eat?" Pei Qingzhi handed her the menu in a gracious manner.
"I'm not picky about food, I have no taboos, I eat everything that is delicious." Tang Xi pushed the menu back comfortably, "I'm not familiar with this place, so please trouble Boss Pei to recommend it."
"Then I won't be polite." Pei Qingzhi smiled, beckoned the waiter to come over, and ordered the dishes skillfully.
"I ordered so much, can I finish it?" Tang Xi wondered.
"The dishes here are exquisite, and the portions are very small." Pei Qingzhi explained, handed the menu to the waiter, and finally added, "Another pinch of fresh orange juice."
"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you." The waiter smiled and quickly packed up the menu and went to make arrangements.
"The environment is good." Tang Xi looked around and expressed satisfaction.
This is not a private room, but the tables are far away from each other, and they are separated by flower and wood screens, without the stuffiness of a private room, but the privacy of the conversation is guaranteed.
If she hadn't glanced at the many zeros in the price column on the menu just now, she would still want to come here more often.
Pei Qingzhi poured her a cup of tea, and said leisurely: "The food in Shengtang is also a must, especially you must not think of what is the most special feature of his family."
"Left and right are nothing more than chicken, duck and fish. There are several methods of steaming, frying and stewing." Tang Xi disagrees.
"You'll know in a while." Pei Qingzhi laughed.
"Then I'll be waiting for a surprise." Tang Xi said generously, "Speaking of which, I'd better get to the bottom of what Boss Pei is talking about, otherwise I'm afraid I'll keep thinking about it, and the food won't be easy to digest."
"Okay." Pei Qingzhi readily agreed.
Anyway, waiting for the food was waiting, so he took out a piece of paper from his bag and pushed it to her.
"What? A power of attorney?" Tang Xi opened it casually.
It was a painting.
Small bridges and flowing water, pavilions, towers and pavilions, a sense of familiarity blows to the face.
"After Manager Gao was killed before, I sorted out the projects she was in charge of, and found this in the planning of Qingxixia Villa." Pei Qingzhi said.
Tang Xi finally remembered belatedly, when she used Pei Qingzhi's body to sign a contract with Pei's, she was bored in the office, and seemed to have left a picture, but when Xiang Jiuming came in suddenly, she... just hid it where
"This picture is very different from the style of the design draft Gao Jiayi gave me, but my office is not something that people can come in casually. I have never figured out where it came from, until I was reminded to my assistant a few days ago— "Pei Qingzhi looked at her and said with confidence, "This is what you left that day, right?"
Tang Xi knew exactly what day he was talking about, so she smiled dryly and said, "Isn't Boss Pei trying to argue with me about random graffiti? At that time, Gao Jiayi directly gave me the document, but I didn't read it carefully."
"That's not the problem." Pei Qingzhi shook his head and said seriously, "I want to buy the copyright of this picture."
"What?" Tang Xi was stunned.
"I always felt that there was something wrong with Gao Jiayi's design, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. It wasn't until I saw this picture that I realized what she lacked." Pei Qingzhi said in a deep voice, "It's the soul. Her picture just looks like , but did not really capture the charm of the ancient house.”
"So, you want to use this picture as a blueprint to design Qingxixia Villa?" Tang Xi suddenly realized.
"Yes." Pei Qingzhi nodded, and said simply, "If Miss Tang has any request, we can discuss it."
"Don't Mr. Pei think that the cost of designing according to this picture will be high?" Tang Xi asked.
"Qingxixia Villa is facing top-level clients, as long as they are satisfied, the cost is nothing." Pei Qingzhi looked at her eagerly.
"But, I didn't draw that painting, so I have no right to sell it to you." Tang Xi smiled wryly.
"It's not you?" Pei Qingzhi was obviously stunned.
"It was drawn by Yunqi." Tang Xi said directly.
"No wonder..." It took only a few seconds for Pei Qingzhi to realize, no wonder the artistic conception in the painting is so vivid. It turns out that the person who drew the painting is an ancient man through and through, so how could he not be vivid. After thinking for a while, he said again: "Then, can I talk to... Young Master Yunqi?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Tang Xi was choking on the words just as he was drinking tea from a cup.
"Are you okay?" Pei Qingzhi hurriedly handed her a tissue.
"No, no, nothing." Tang Xi waved her hands repeatedly. After coughing, her cheeks flushed and her eyes were watery, but her expression was indescribable, "You...want to talk to Yun Qi?"
"Since it's his painting and I want to buy it, shouldn't it be natural to talk to him?" Pei Qingzhi said frankly.
"..." Tang Xi was speechless and wanted to flip the table.
What gave you confidence and made you feel that you could negotiate business with a ghost! How dare you be so righteous!
