When Shi Ember arrived at the Xu Group, Rong Nan had already stood outside the building and waited for more than an hour.

"Daughter-in-law, if we walk in like this, will there be a sense of déjà vu for devils entering the village?" Shi Shen asked jokingly, standing at the main entrance of the building.

Nine-Tails raised his head and looked up at the somewhat towering building, glanced at Shi Yan's clothes a few more times, and replied seriously: "I don't know if the devil is a devil or not, I only know that we walk in like this, a bit like a dirt bun entering the city." ”

"Hahaha. ”

Shi Ember was amused by it, and straightened the only T-shirt he was wearing. put away the posture of hanging a child, and walked in with the appearance of a normal person.

"I just hope that if I go up to this building, they can just ignore me. Nine-Tails grumbled quietly. In this crowded place, it did not dare to speak loudly.

Urban people are accustomed to living in the city's vision, and foxes, which live in the wild, are rare in the eyes of urban people. Some of the people who live in the city have never seen a real fox in their lives, and they are also a unique group of snow-white species like the Nine-tails. In addition, the person who led the fox all the way was dressed like a hillbilly, which directly caused Shi Ember to walk from the suburbs to the city center, and every passerby would stop and look curiously.

The Nine-Tails is also not easy to attack, because it knows that they have no malicious intentions, but they are just treated as a juggling clown for no reason, and anyone will not be able to stand it.

Shi Shen touched the snow-white fur on its back and smiled lightly: "If anyone dares to continue to stare at you like a hillbilly in this building, I guarantee that he will not be able to stay in the Xu Group." ”

"Poof—"

Nine-Tails didn't hold back, and burst out laughing directly.

"What, you don't believe in your future husband's strength?" Shi Shen looked at its contemptuous little eyes, and instantly became calm.

"No, no, no," Nine-Tails shook his head indifferently: "I believe in the strength of my future husband, I just don't believe in your strength." ”

"Huh. He rolled his eyes and said no more.

The city center of Hakumai is more crowded than any other place, and every day there is a constant flow of people and vehicles on the bustling streets. The Group Building in front of it is located in the heart of the business district and occupies the most important pedestrian area of Bai Mai City.

Nine-Tails has been in the mountains for more than 20 years, and the speed of urban progress is unimaginable. It's as if now, standing in the reception hall on the ground floor of the Xu Group, looking at the empty but clean ground and the polite young lady at the reception desk in front of it, the whole fox is mysterious.

"This place is gorgeous. It exclaimed.

"It's gorgeous," Shi Ember nodded approvingly, "After all, it's the Golden Mile." ”

"Huh?" Nine-Tails looked at him inexplicably, scratched his head and asked blankly, "What is the Golden Belt?"

"The Golden Mile is ......" Before he finished speaking, Shi Ember suddenly stopped. Only then did he realize that the answer to this question seemed a bit awkward, not to mention that it was a fox who lived in "ancient times" who asked him this question. It was a bit difficult to get him to explain what the Golden Zone was with the Nine-Tails, who had never been exposed to city life.

"It's a house paved with gold. The kind that will be disgusted if you put silver on it. He thought about it for a long time, and finally this answer seemed easy to understand.

Shi Ember is not exactly bragging, and Shi Ember, who has a certain understanding of business knowledge, can guess how high the rent for the office here is with his eyes closed. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is paved with gold, and it even seems to be telling a fact.

But he still underestimated the stupidity of the Nine-Tails. Yes, that's right, it's stupid.

As soon as this little fortune fan heard that there was gold everywhere in it, both eyes burst with blingbling golden light.

"Wow, a house made of gold. Then I'll go in and pry a floor tile and enjoy it for a long time. Nine-tails looked excited, as if he had seen a mountain of gold and silver, as if he had seen a promising future.

Shi Shen looked at this little money fan angrily and funny, and the corners of his mouth didn't know whether to bend down or go up.

Nine-Tails hugged Shi Yan's thighs excitedly, happily bouncing on his two hind legs, and he couldn't bear to interrupt his sweet dreams.

Xiao Caifan blinked at him with two Danfeng eyes and looked at him with a smile, with the words "can't wait" clearly written on his face.

"Let's go. He sighed lowly, this little guy knew that he couldn't parry all the cute things, and he still wanted to sell cute things to him. Ay......

There are only two reception ladies sitting in the reception desk on the ground floor of the "golden road" building, and the rest of the people should go upstairs and go home. There are people coming in and out of the huge space, most of them carrying briefcases, looking like they are in a hurry. It's no different from a normal building, but unfortunately you can't find gold.

"Welcome, who are you looking for?"

Seeing an unfamiliar face walking in, the reception lady immediately stood up from her seat, showed a stewardess-like smile, and asked extremely friendly.

"Oh, I'm here to find ......"

"Less Ember!"

Shi Yan just wanted to say that he was here to find President Xu, but before he finished speaking, a slightly hurried voice came from behind him. Turning around, a man in a suit was trotting in his direction. Shi Shen took a closer look, and the person who came was the man in the suit who invited him down the mountain three days ago.

"Ember Shao, Mr. Xu has already drawn up the contract and is waiting for you in the president's office. Rong Nan said with a smile.

"Wait!"

Before Shi Ember nodded, the big fox who had circled around the ground floor was immediately unhappy, and rushed up angrily, directly in front of Shi Ember, and asked angrily, "Shi Ember!

If it had regained its human form at this moment, it would have pointed its finger at his nose and yelled, "Liar!"

"Daughter-in-law, in fact, I meant ...... before"

"Stop!" Nine-Tails promised this time that he would never forgive him again, even if he howled.

"Daughter-in-law ......"

"Don't call me my daughter-in-law. Nine-Tails directly interrupted his explanation, not giving him any chance to explain: "Anyway, if you can't find gold, you are not allowed to call me a daughter-in-law." Hmph!"

“……”

Rong Nan was not the only one who was surprised, after all, the two reception ladies sitting at the reception desk were not blind.

Rong Nan threw a knife in the direction of the reception lady, and narrowed his eyes dangerously. The two reception ladies immediately lowered their heads, indicating that they would definitely not say anything.

Shi Yan glanced at Rong Nan gratefully and embarrassedly, and the latter immediately turned his head away, looking like "I didn't see anything".

"Forget it," Shi Shen looked around with a sigh, then bent down and hugged the nine tails in his arms, and glanced at Rong Nan, Rong Nan nodded in understanding, and walked quickly into the sightseeing elevator leading to the president's office.

"When you are surnamed, you dare to use force on me! When I come down, I will definitely not spare you!"

“……”

This time, even Rong Nan, who was so resolute in restraint, couldn't help laughing, and Shi Shen burst into tears in an instant.

"......Wait! What is this?" Before the Nine-Tails was angry, he was forcibly carried to a sightseeing elevator by Shi Shen, looking at the elevator doors that opened and closed in front of him blankly, so surprised that he even forgot that he was still angry.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that the Nine-Tails has taken an elevator in more than a thousand years of life, and the last time they came to the human world in their memory, those officers and soldiers who fought still used swords, guns, swords, and halberds. After the destruction of the original gods, it chose to nest on Guangyuan Mountain, this nest is decades, and the direct consequence of the house to this realm is that its mouth is wide open all the way from the suburbs to the city center.

Seeing the elevator door getting closer and closer to him, Nine-Tails kicked his legs in a panic, desperately trying to break free from Shi Ash's arms.

"Ember Shao's relationship with this fox looks pretty good. Rong Nan casually glanced in their direction and smiled softly.

"Of course. ”

In the next second, with a "jingle bell", the elevator door opened.

"Don't don't, Ember I'm wrong, don't carry me in, okay?" I'm scared ......" Nine-tails saw him preparing to enter the elevator, and tears jumped out of his eyes.

"Okay, good, don't make a fuss. Shi Shen smiled and looked at its trembling body with fright, and gently rubbed its head with his free hand, his eyes full of pampering.

The sudden warmth and frightening coldness were intertwined, and the Nine-Tails shivered coldly. The numb touch on the top of the head slowly came, and a warm stream of heat quietly spread throughout the body, comfortably making people feel inexplicably at ease.

"But...... I'm afraid. Nine-Tails looked up at him, his lips trembling slightly pitiful.

Shi Shen took it in his arms, and his hand holding it unconsciously tightened a little.

"Hey, hey. The Nine-Tails suddenly laughed twice. Breaking free from his embrace, she spread her limbs and hugged him tightly, her head rubbing hard against his hard chest.

"Poof, little colored fox. ”

"Hmph. ”

The big fox continued to rub and ignore him.

Shi Shen was afraid that it would slip if it didn't hold it steadily, so he hurriedly stretched out his right hand to hug its waist. Result –

"Smack!"

A small pink fist slapped softly in his face, and the nine-tails pouted arrogantly and scolded arrogantly: "Hooligans!"

Shi Shen glanced at it dotingly, then turned his head to smile at Rong Nan, who immediately bowed his head knowingly, turned his head to look at the floor numbers on the elevator, and stopped talking.

"Ding-bell-"

After a shrill sound, the elevator doors opened.

As soon as you get out of the elevator, you will be greeted by a scene of amazing colors. A clean, curving corridor passed, and the huge studio was free of a bit of garbage. The surrounding walls are plastered with posters of ancient and fantastical characters, and various patterns of mages and assassins and auxiliary warriors are readily available, and the walls give people a sense of color, but the floor tiles are extremely incongruous snow porcelain white. The various employees scattered in the background on both sides of the corridor were busy working, and they had no time to pay attention to the two men who walked past them.

Shi Shen clenched his right hand around the Nine-Tails, afraid that it would not be able to resist rushing down to the wallpaper posters in the room for a while, after all, it had never seen such a wild color ratio in its life.

"What does the Xu family do?" Shi Shen asked softly. When he asked this question, he probably guessed seven or eight points in his heart, if it wasn't anime, film and television, it could only be e-sports.

Most of the employees here are men, and everyone is tinkering with a bunch of gibberish on the computer. Shi Shen couldn't understand it, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Xu's is a game company, and it does the Internet business. Rong Nan calmly introduced his company's signboard to him: "Recently, the company has completed the development of a large-scale RPG (role-playing) online game, and now it has begun to prepare to open the formal server. ”

"It turned out to be an e-sports business. Shi Ember nodded lightly, if he was engaged in e-sports, then the exaggerated posters on the wall would make sense. It's just that he wasn't very interested in this aspect, so he didn't have any interest in continuing to ask.

At the end of the corridor is the president's office, and in a small open space at the door of the office, there is a white secretary's desk, and a handsome woman sits quietly reading a book. The woman wears a proper professional attire and tightly covers the part that should be covered.

"Secretary Li, please call the president. Rong Nan said to the woman.

The door of the president's office is a machine-controlled door with face recognition, and only Xu Jie's face recognition is set up. There is a button to control the door switch and a pager connected to the secretary's desk on the desk in the room. As for whether people outside can go in, it only depends on Xu Jie's mood.

Secretary Li pointed to the closed office door and conveyed to him what Xu Jie had told her before: "The president has already gone out, and before leaving, he said that you should take care of the guests first." ”

"How long have you been out?" asked Rong Nan out of habit.

"More than an hour, not long after you went down, the president went out. Secretary Li explained honestly.

Rong Nan nodded, and didn't bother with Mr. Xu's disrespect for leaving early. After all, everyone is gone, and it's useless to dwell on these things. What he has to do now is to properly deal with the mess left by the president's casual work.

He turned around and smiled at Shi Shen as if apologizing: "I am very sorry for the company's faux pas. The company has prepared a villa for Ember Shao, if Ember Shao doesn't mind, I want to take Ember Shao to the villa area in advance to see where to live. ”

It is said that he will not hit the smiling face with his hand, not to mention that Rong Nan's apology is so sincere. Shi Shen naturally won't be embarrassed, and he is not a hypocritical person, not so expensive. Why put on a stinky face because of this little thing, so that others can't get off the stage.

"It's okay, I don't have anything to do right now anyway. Shi Yan smiled in return, but did not accept Rong Nan's proposal: "But the villa is still forgotten, I haven't even seen the task that President Xu is going to tell me, and I don't dare to enjoy such a generous treatment from your company in advance." ”

"But ......"

Rong Nan has always admired Shi Yan's strength, and Rong Nan has heard a little bit about his self-humility. So now when he heard Shi Yan politely refuse, he didn't feel confused at all, but a little embarrassed. Shi Shen was reluctant to live in a villa, so he naturally wouldn't force it. It's just that the biggest problem in front of him now is not the villa, but the problem of his current residence.

"But Mr. Xu left you a villa when he planned it, and he didn't take it into account......" Rong Nan looked at him with a little embarrassment.

"Did you only prepare a villa?" Shi Shen was a little surprised, this was the first time he had seen such a generous gold owner.

At the beginning, when Rong Nan invited him down the mountain, he said that Mr. Xu would definitely not treat him badly in terms of money, and he was just smiling at that time, he didn't have excessive requirements for salary, as long as he could eat and wear without worrying. But at that time, when Ember knew that the headquarters of the Xu Group stood directly in the center of the business district of Baiwu City, he felt that he was a little bit sorry for the location of the Xu Group. But even so, he didn't expect the way this financier threw money into such a ...... It makes people feel empty.

"Mr. Xu said that he can't treat the guests he invited badly, and if you arrange for you to live in a hotel apartment or something, he will be condemned by his conscience. Rong Nan replied with a sincere face.

"Then wait for him to condemn it," Shi Ember showed a smiling expression. Waving his hand, he rejected all the words that Rong Nan had to say next.

If he is willing to condemn, he will wait for him to condemn, who will let him release my pigeon?

"Okay. ”

Seeing that he couldn't help it, Rong Nan had no choice but to compromise with him and prepare to temporarily help him find a place to live. Luckily, it's barely five o'clock in the afternoon, so it's not too hard to find a decent accommodation before the evening.

"Then I'll go to you and contact a B&B, and I'll probably move in tonight. As for luggage......"

Rong Nan always felt that he should do something. After all, what is needed to ask someone to do things is sincerity, and Mr. Xu's consistent money style is not effective, so he has to replace his boss with some sincerity.

"No need," Shi Shen simply rejected Rong Nan's kindness: "If you want to stay, I have a few friends who live in this city, and I also want to have a small gathering with them." As for luggage......" Shi Shen smiled slightly, pouted at the nine-tails lying in his arms, and said with a smile: "It's the only one, so I don't need to trouble you." ”

"Huh?" Nine-Tails rubbed his head, glared at him with unhappy little eyes, and snorted coldly, "You say I'm luggage?"

"Or else?" Shi Shen looked into its eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a playful smile flashed in his eyes.

The Nine-Tails was most afraid of meeting his eyes, looking into his eyes it would be inexplicably nervous, especially when he stared at himself with flirtatious eyes, it would blush inexplicably.

So, every time he looked down into his eyes, it would quietly move away.

"You...... Don't look at me. The Nine-Tails turned his head unnaturally, and his little face turned red inadvertently.

"Shy?"

"Open, what's on...... Joke, I, how could I be shy?" Nine-Tails finished his inarticulate rambling, and immediately realized that something was not quite right, and quickly buried his head in Shi Ash's arm.

He had to pick it up inch by inch, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up in a beautiful arc, and he exuded a cunning evil aura all over his body: "Trouble you-

"Say it again. ”
