Chapter 1159: Return to Jiangdu

Summer night, Jiangdu!

The sea breeze blows softly on the faces of visitors, gulls and birds are not afraid of the living chasing tourists, begging for buds, and a couple strolling along the seashore under the sunset, enjoying the cool evening breeze.

A handsome man with silver hair like a waterfall, I don't know when, lay quietly on the shore, let the tide wash away.

He was wearing rusty silver battle armor, slowly raised his head, his eyes were deep, as if he had read the vicissitudes of the starry sky, and with his handsome face, there was a kind of evil coolness.

Occasionally, passers-by will pass by and give a surprised look at his outfit, but on the southern coast of this modern city, you can see strange people in strange costumes every day, and everyone is used to it, and everyone is not careful!

Overhead, a broadcast 747 airliner roared past it.

"The plane, I've finally returned to the civilized world, but this doesn't seem to be Jiangcheng!" Looking at the strange bay nearby, Xu Xiangbei felt a little strange.

Remembering that she was bathing in Building No. 7 of the Spring Villa Group, Gu Xiangyi's Nizi hid in to take refuge regardless of 3721, and she was also drenched like she is now, and she couldn't help but smile.

"No matter what, I'm finally back in my familiar hometown!"

Xu Xiangbei lifted his spirits, got up from the bay, and walked towards the outside of the harbor.

"There is a street sign here, Jiangdu, Binhai Road...!"

Looking at the street sign in front of him, Xu Xiangbei reacted, it turned out that Ge Fang's teleportation made a small mistake and got himself to the seaside city next to Jiangcheng, Jiangdu.

This is a modern first-line coastal city similar to Jiangcheng, the streets are full of traffic, crowds of people, and no one is even too surprised by their ancient costumes, full of the fast-paced busyness of urban people in modern society!

A cold air came in the night wind, and the wet body shook, Xu Xiangbei couldn't help but sneez, and found that after returning to the modern civilized society, due to the decrease in aura and other reasons, his cultivation really decreased significantly, and the state at this time was only equivalent to the realm of the war brother when he was on the Feizhou Continent, but fortunately, the experience and mind were retained as before.

"What should I do, I can't fly now, can I take a taxi?" Xu Xiangbei laughed at himself.

"Back then, I took the Longxing team to say goodbye to Princess Mandala and others, boarded the plane from Kesha Country, and I was the only one left after the crash, and now I am back like a lifetime, and I don't know if the government will list me as a missing person, it seems that I have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to reapply for an ID card first!" Xu Xiangbei leaned on the street sign and finally figured out what to do next.

At this time, there was a piercing tire brake sound in my ears!

On the side of the road, a black Maserati business car slowly reversed, the window slowly fell, and a fashionable lady pushed away her sunglasses, revealing a small face with delicate makeup, and said to Xu Xiangbei suspiciously: "Are you... Xu Xiangbei?"

Xu Xiangbei turned his head when he heard the sound, he looked at the fashionable lady in the car, and only felt that the contours of his face were familiar, but he couldn't remember: "You are?"

"It turned out to be really you, I am Gu Xiangyi's business partner of Xiangyi Group, we met at the cocktail party, and later I heard that you, the tenant, turned Jiangcheng upside down and disappeared for a few years, why did you appear here?" The fashionable lady stepped out of the car door with a pair of black silk legs, and her white index finger took out her business card - Jin Baili.

Xu Xiangbei vaguely remembered that he did have a relationship with this woman back then, it was at a drinking party in Gu Xiangyi, and he was not impressed at the time, and he didn't expect that the other party would never forget him at first sight.

Xu Xiangbei sneered, he was in rags at this time, his face was full of dust, even if he had the heart to tell Jin Baili about the changes that had happened over the years, it was difficult to say a word.

"A few years ago, I heard that you left Jiangcheng and went to Wusha Country, and it was rumored that you caused trouble and entered the bureau, I really didn't expect to see you on such an occasion today, how about it, hehe, are you making a movie now?" Jin Baili looked at Xu Xiangbei, covered her mouth very culturedly and couldn't hold back her laughter, without too much verbal ridicule.

Xu Xiangbei smiled, nodded perfunctorily as a tacit acquiescence, and asked, "Didn't you originally develop in Jiangcheng, how did you expand your business to Jiangdu?"

"Me?" Jin Baili smiled a little proudly, "I have performed well over the years, I have been promoted, and now I am the general manager of the company in Jiangdu, don't laugh at me." ”

Xu Xiangbei almost reflexively came to a wolf howling ceremony on the Feizhou Continent to celebrate, and only changed to congratulations halfway through the ceremony: "Awesome, the carp has jumped over the dragon gate!"

Jin Baili smiled and shook her hand: "In fact, we are outstanding people in Jiangcheng, and many locals have been promoted after being transferred to Jiangdu, such as Chen Yaobang, who is known as a talented man in Jiangcheng, and now he is a valuable municipal official!"

"Really?" Xu Xiangbei smiled and nodded disapprovingly.

Jin Baili realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Xu Xiangbei, I forgot, it is said that you offended Chen Yaobang's cousin Chen Bancheng!"

"It's just an old thing!" Xu Xiangbei smiled indifferently, and then asked, "What news do you have over there in Jiangcheng?" I've been away for a long time. ”

"Oh, I haven't been over there much in all these years!" Jin Baili shook her head and said, "But the development of Jiangdu has been more rapid than Jiangcheng in recent years, and it's not wrong for you to stay here!"

"Oh!" Xu Xiangbei was silent, because the time and space rules can't bring it, he is now penniless, poor and poor, he scratched his nose: "Jin Baili, can you lend me a little money temporarily, and I will double it back to you after a while!"

Hearing Xu Xiangbei's words, Jin Baili was stunned, and looked at Xu Xiangbei's beautiful eyes, and suddenly had a slightly disdainful look.

After coming out of the Feizhou Continent, the silver dollar and the ring could not be brought, and the gold cards before the crash were also lost, and now Xu Xiangbei is unable to move an inch, and a penny is difficult to stump the hero.

And to be efficient in modern civilized society, money is the most effective hard currency, Xu Xiangbei will not forget this truth.

Xu Xiangbei is penniless now, and he can't show his divine skills and cultivation in a shocking way, so he has to bite the bullet and borrow some from Jin Baili first to alleviate his urgent need.

Hearing Xu Xiangbei's request to borrow money, Kimberly suddenly looked disdainful, but she quickly regained her very cultured smile and said, "Yes, it's easy to say, how much do you want to borrow?"

"Well, inflation shouldn't be so outrageous now, right? I think a few thousand yuan should be enough!" Xu Xiangbei said calmly, he sensed the displeasure in the other party's eyes, but he only felt funny, not embarrassed.

Jin Baili nodded expressionlessly, stretched out her hand and took out a stack of banknotes from her Kun bag, handed it to Xu Xiangbei without counting, and said, "Jianghu emergency, you take it first, it's not enough!"

"It should be enough, thank you!" Xu Xiangbei smiled.

"Xu Xiangbei!" Jin Baili sighed again, then pointed to his business card, and said with a regretful face, "You are a talent, don't waste your time, if you can't get along in Jiangdu, you can come to me, you have hands and feet, you want men to be self-reliant!"

"Well, well, if I encounter difficulties at that time, I will trouble you!" Xu Xiangbei showed a tolerant mind to Jin Baili's words, and he replied with a smile.

"There's my phone number on the business card, call me if there's something!"

Seeing that Xu Xiangbei was just perfunctory and didn't mean to listen, Jin Baili frowned slightly, but she knew that it was useless to say more to decadent people, so she could only shake her head gently, and then get in the car and close the door.

"Have a nice trip, goodbye!" Xu Xiangbei leaned against the street sign and smiled.

"Goodbye!" Kimberly smiled, she just wanted to step on the accelerator, as if she thought of something again, then rolled down the window and said to Xu Xiangbei, "Also, by the way, Xu Xiangbei, next Sunday night, do you have time, in the Guiyun Restaurant in the west of the city, we have a fellow villagers' meeting, all from Jiangcheng, do you want to come?"

"Jiangcheng Fellow Townsmen's Association?" Xu Xiangbei groaned, and then said with a smile, "Yes, if there is time, I will definitely be there!"

"Okay, then we'll see you then!"

"See you then!"

The two waved goodbye, Xu Xiangbei got up to leave, and he walked slowly into the distance.

And Jin Baili also drove a luxury car, leaving to the opposite position, her beautiful eyes were gloomy, looking at Xu Xiangbei's ragged back in the reversing mirror, and suddenly whispered regretfully: "Mo Shangren is in the jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world, I didn't expect that Xu Xiangbei, who was radiant and graceful, was so unbearable." ”

"I was a little tempted by him back then, but now that I think about it, it's so childish and ridiculous!" Kimberly muttered to herself, and then she shook her head, no longer thinking about it, and played the music of "Ordinary Road" in the car.

After saying goodbye to Kimberly, Xu Xiangbei hurriedly went to a nearby bathing center to tidy up his appearance, and then went to buy a decent outfit, and finally regained his radiant image.

When I went to the local civil affairs bureau to check, my name was indeed listed as a missing person, and my ID card was cancelled.

"It's a big trouble now, I've become a black account...... Witness, where can I find someone to prove my identity at once?" Xu Xiangbei smiled bitterly in his heart.

When you come to the ticket office of the train station, you need an ID card to even buy a ticket.

Xu Xiangbei was suddenly helpless, and for the first time felt that a small ID card was so important!

After pondering for a while, I wanted to take a bus or take a taxi, but although the names of Jiangcheng and Jiangdu were only one word different, they were thousands of miles apart, and the money on my body was not enough at all.

Looking at Jin Baili's business card in his hand, Xu Xiangbei groaned, had to sigh, and continued to ask Jin Baili for help.

"Mr. Jin, this contract needs to be signed by you, Teacher Zhou will arrive later, do you want to arrange it?" Xiao Wang, Kimberly's clerk, knocked on the door, then walked in, came to Kimberly's side and asked in a low voice.

Jin Baili took the contract, skimmed it roughly, and then signed it very skillfully, and then said: "Immediately inform Xiao Wang to prepare the car, I am going to the airport to meet Mr. Zhou in person!"

"Yes!" the clerk nodded, turning and walking away.

"The call is coming, the call is comingβ€”"

Kimberly's mobile phone rang, she pressed the answer button, and as soon as she heard the voice, she was stunned: "Xu Xiangbei, you are looking for me, you are downstairs?"

"Okay, then you wait a minute, I'll come down. ”

Putting down the mobile phone, Jin Baili got up to tidy up her appearance, then took the elevator downstairs, and soon came to the general affairs desk, and saw Xu Xiangbei waiting in the hall with his eyes and nose and heart.

"Xu Xiangbei? It's a new look? Kimberly swayed and said with a smile.

"Hehe, my appearance just now really affected the city's appearance too much, so I went to tidy it up!" Xu Xiangbei got up, greeted him, and said with a smile.

"Well, you're extraordinary, you're already talented!" Kimberly laughed, and then she asked strangely, "By the way, why did you suddenly come to me again?"

"Here's the thing, I checked, my ID card has been cancelled, and now I'm an undocumented homeless person, and I can't buy a ticket for the train, so I'm here to ask you for help!" Xu Xiangbei shrugged his shoulders and said.

Jin Baili's face turned pale when she heard this, her face was displeased, she felt that Xu Xiangbei was an excuse for being easy and disgusting, and if she lent him again, it would be to fill the bottomless pit.

"I can't imagine you've become like this now!" Jin Baili's tone gradually became cold, and Xu Xiangbei's expression became even more cold and disgusted.

When a woman falls in love with someone and hates someone, it is often just a thought.

Moreover, how could it be possible that his ID card would be cancelled for no reason in these years?

But what happened to Xu Xiangbei, how could she have imagined?

"Xu Xiangbei!" Jin Baili looked at Xu Xiangbei with the eyes of an addict, and her tone was cold, "I really didn't expect you to be so decadent now, becoming a villain who cheats money, what ID card is cancelled, what buy a ticket to go home, this kind of excuse can only deceive the little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, you get out of here, or I will call the security guard to pick people up!"

Xu Xiangbei looked at Gujing Wubo, disappointed for a while, then shook his head, smiled bitterly, turned around and was about to leave.

After so many eons, he knows that when a person does not believe you, everything you say is in vain.

"Self-abandonment, hopeless!"

Jin Baili looked at Xu Xiangbei's lonely back, a cold snort came out of her delicate nose, and her beautiful face couldn't hide a look of contempt.
