After Jiang Chaohai's death, he suddenly calmed down again. But the investigation around the cause of his death did not stop, under Zhang Chi's reminder, Lu Jianqiang began to re-investigate the high mountain forest, Ma Donghai was listed as a key investigation object, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

Zhang Daxian had a deep sense of crisis because of Qiu Long's matter, and secretly alchemy in the hut during the holiday, whether it was the Great Dao Jindan or the Outer Gate Jindan, he could be prepared to be safe, and the Dan furnace of Ruyi Jin became more and more handy in his trial.

Usually, the Dan furnace is reduced to a pendant, and the Dan furnace is enlarged when needed, and the Dan furnace can already refine the four-grade gold pill, and the inner growth is endless.

The four-grade golden pill is of little use to Zhang Chi, he can't practice qi, he has always been on the path of true fire refining, after completing the first realm of refining the body, he began to refine from the bones again, and began to attack the weak and boneless of the dual realm of refining bones.

Every time he started, it was always very difficult, and Zhang Chi practiced for a few days and his progress was quite slow, but with his previous experience, he was able to endure it.

On the day of Jiang Chaohai's death, all the employees in the hotel were called by the police for questioning, and all the suspicions were cleared. One-third of the employees chose to leave with an extra month's salary, and most of them stayed, and the most important thing is that none of the chefs left, which is related to Yang Qinggong's private persuasion, and of course it is also related to Zhang Chi's generosity.

After the police lifted the lockdown order, Yang Qinggong suggested that it could be opened for a trial operation, and what kind of opening celebration should be held in a low-key manner, he analyzed it privately with Zhang Chi, and the longer it dragged on, the more others thought that there was a problem with the hotel, so they simply opened directly, neither celebrating nor rewarding, anyway, they were ready to lose three months.

These young people are holding back their strength, where they fall, they will get up from where, and the people around the area may not come to eat, but the capital is so big, it is impossible for everyone to know that there were people who died before the opening of the restaurant, and as long as the taste can be recognized, the situation will soon be opened.

Zhang Chi specially went to find Xie Zhongjun's old friend Shu Lan, who was very influential in the food industry in the capital. Recently, they also talked on the phone, Shu Lan was also a guest invited by Zhang Chi to open the ceremony, I heard about the new store, I thought it would not open in the short term, but now I heard that Zhang Chi has quietly opened.

Shu Lan smiled: "I didn't have a celebration, I went to send a flower basket." ”

"Sister Lan, I'm a man with my tail between my legs now, how dare I put on that pomp. ”

Shu Lan said: "Propaganda is still necessary, and the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Let's maintain it first, we are ready to lose money for three months." ”

"It's not easy to hold on, and now the catering industry is fiercely competitive, not to mention that even if everything goes well, there are not many people who can make a lot of money. ”

Zhang Chi handed a USB disk he brought to Shu Lan: "Sister Lan, there are some of our propaganda copywriters here, you can help me with the staff and staff, and by the way, find some media to release them one after another." ”

Shu Lan said: "Ready to take the word-of-mouth route?"

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Put a long line to catch big fish, many restaurants are high and low, we have been low to this at the beginning, it is impossible to go any lower, and we can go all the way up in the future." ”

"Hehe, you're optimistic. ”

Shu Lan motioned for Zhang Chi to drink tea.

Zhang Chi took a sip of tea.

Shu Lan said, "Have you seen your master recently?"

Zhang Chi nodded and said, "I've met once, I'm in a hurry, I can't even bother to drink, I don't know what he's been busy with lately." ”

Shu Lan sighed sympathetically and said, "We haven't been in touch for a long time, and I know that he has a conflict with his family. ”

Zhang Chixin said that Lao Xie was also playing on Shu Lan, he should just treat her as a lover, and he didn't plan to achieve a positive result with her, and he didn't want to express his opinion on other people's feelings, so it was best to keep silent.

Shu Lan said: "I think he has changed. ”

Zhang Chi said: "It's a little older." ”

Shu Lan shook his head and said: "It's not that he's getting old, but he's becoming stranger, although he didn't know four or six in the past, but in general, I still feel that I can see and touch him, but now I suddenly feel like he's a different person, and seeing him is like facing a completely strange person." ”

Zhang Chi said: "It may be because of your lack of communication. ”

Shu Lan said: "It's not that there is no opportunity to communicate, it's just that the feeling has changed, and no one can remember to contact anyone, you know?"

Zhang Chi nodded, he understood, he and Lin Daiyu were, obviously they both have each other's contact information, and they can contact each other when they pick up the phone, but no one will take the initiative to take this step, not because of love and hatred, but because of the feeling that it is gone, knowing that the other party exists, but suddenly became rational and lost passion and impulse.

Shu Lan realized that she had talked too much to Zhang Chi, and said with a smile: "Don't laugh at me, I'm not a little girl at my age, so I shouldn't be so hypocritical." ”

"Sister Lan, do you particularly like my master?"

Shu Lan thought for a while and said: "I like it, he does have something that makes me obsessed, but I later found out that he didn't mean to marry me at all, so he became sensible, you know, I was divorced at such an age, and women have already passed the freshness period by the time I am here, and they are always going downhill." ”

"Sister Lan, you are quite attractive. ”

"Don't comfort me, I'm still a little self-aware, men who don't like young and beautiful, I also know Lao Xie's absurdity, in fact, as long as he can be good to me, even if there is a part of my mind here, I can turn a blind eye, even if I marry him, I don't care, men, all have possessiveness, and if you see a beautiful woman without ideas, you must be incapable." ”

Zhang Chi laughed, Shu Lan is an understanding person.

"But I later found out that Lao Xie's heart is not here with me at all, I can't tie my body, I can't tie my heart, what do you say I want to do with such a man?"

Zhang Chi said: "You broke up?"

Shu Lan said: "It's not about breaking up, he has never publicly admitted that I am his girlfriend." Unspeakable sadness emerged in her heart, after getting along with Xie Zhongjun for so many years, what is it in the end? In fact, when Xie Zhongjun beat Cui Xifeng for her, she was still a little moved, and she also had the illusion of achieving a positive result with Xie Zhongjun, but now it is completely gone.

Zhang Chi's mobile phone rang, it was actually Xie Zhongjun, and he smiled at Shu Lan: "My master, it's strange, did he sense that I was here with you?"

Shu Lan said: "Don't mention this. ”

Zhang Chi connected the phone, but Xie Zhongjun called to ask him if he had anything to do in the past few days, and wanted him to accompany him to Beichen to inspect a piece of land.

Zhang Chi actually planned to go back to Beichen recently, he was mainly suspicious of Ma Donghai, so he wanted to take a look in person, so he readily agreed, Xie Zhongjun asked him to prepare a little and drive to pick him up early tomorrow morning.

Zhang Chi thought that he and Xie Zhongjun would go to Beichen together, but when the car came the next day, he found that it was an alpha, in addition to Xie Zhongjun and the driver, there was one more Zhao Dengfeng, Zhao Dengfeng didn't know that Zhang Chi was coming, he had suffered Zhang Chi's loss, and he was a little bit of an enemy when he saw each other.

Xie Zhongjun introduced: "Acquaintance, Zhang Chi, my apprentice, Zhao Dengfeng, my godson." ”

Zhang Chi behaved very generously and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Zhao Dengfeng, but Zhao Dengfeng ignored him.

Xie Zhongjun scolded: "Don't be so small in the eyes of a big man. ”

Zhao Dengfeng reluctantly shook hands with Zhang Chi, not looking at him.

Zhang Chi said: "Why did you suddenly remember to go to Beichen?"

Xie Zhongjun said: "Business, there is a piece of land to be transferred over there, his father and I are going to join forces to take it down, and I remember that your hometown is Beichen, so I called you to go and have fun together." ”

Zhang Chi said: "I'll follow the past and won't delay your business, right?"

Xie Zhongjun said with a smile: "Don't delay, you are a native of Beichen, you know where to eat and play." ”

Zhang Chi said deliberately: "I saw Sister Lan yesterday. ”

Xie Zhongjun said: "If you don't say it, I'll forget about her." He yawned, adjusted his seat and got ready for bed.

Zhang Chi has no interest in chatting with Zhao Dengfeng, Xie Zhongjun took this goods to the past mainly for experience, Xie Zhongjun and his father Zhao Yunong are good friends, very good to this kid, Zhang Chi feels that Xie Zhongjun and Zhao Dengfeng are almost inseparable recently, Xie Zhongjun plays the role of not only a business partner, but also Zhao Dengfeng's personal bodyguard.

Judging from Zhao Dengfeng's expression, this was also verified, Zhao Dengfeng was very nervous, trying his best to hide his inner uneasiness.

Lao Xie is rough on the surface, but he is actually a very shrewd person, it is impossible for him not to know Zhao Dengfeng's current situation, Chen Junmin is dead, Jiang Chaohai is also dead, these two people are related to Qiu Guoqing's death, and Zhao Dengfeng is Chen Junmin's partner, although the matter of private lending did not implicate him, but he is also one of the culprits, many parties think that Qiu Long will kill him to avenge his father, but Qiu Long has never done it, it is estimated that the time is not ripe.

Will this trip to Beichen be noticed by Qiu Long, and will he choose this opportunity to attack Zhao Dengfeng?

Zhang Chi suddenly felt that this trip was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, Xie Zhongjun took Zhao Dengfeng over to talk about business, this matter obviously had nothing to do with him, why did he call himself, did he simply want to find his own local companion? The reason is too far-fetched, Lao Xie himself has been to Beichen, and he is also very familiar with it.

Could it be that Lao Xie has a plan? Do you want to take this opportunity to use Zhao Dengfeng as bait to bring out Qiu Long, a big fish that has been hidden? If this is the case, who is Lao Xie cooperating with? Police? It seems that Lu Jianqiang has never mentioned that they cooperated.

Zhang Chi picked up his mobile phone and quietly sent a message to Lu Jianqiang, telling him about himself and Zhao Dengfeng.

Lu Jianqiang's news returned soon, he didn't know about it, so Zhang Chi kept an eye on Zhao Dengfeng, and Lu Jianqiang's intuition was extraordinary.
