Chapter 88: Hou Wang's Mansion
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao and Ye Zi had another day of exams, and Xiao Bing made a phone call to Ye Bancheng, Ye Bancheng didn't seem to feel any surprise when he picked up Xiao Bing's phone, and said with a smile: "Xiaobing, I'm afraid I have something to say when I call me, right? Let me help you contact Hou Ye? You know, Hou Ye is not a casual meeting, and I think you may not know your contact information." ”
Xiao Bing smiled: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Uncle Ye, in fact, if I want to investigate Master Hou's mobile phone number, it's also a breeze, but that is rude after all, so I still have to trouble Uncle Ye." ”
"Well, what are you going to call Hou Ye and say?" Ye Bancheng said bluntly, "To be honest, your performance in the ring that day was indeed shocking, with your strength, once the outside world knew about your performance that night, all forces would win you over, and even risk offending the Northern Heavenly King." ”
Xiao Bing smiled: "Uncle Ye should have imagined, I don't have that kind of interest, otherwise why would I run a small noodle restaurant here." ”
"I know, just to remind you that there are some things you'll have to face sooner or later. I'll tell you the contact number of Hou Ye, now that I have offended the Northern Heavenly King, as long as I can make the Hou Ye unable to wipe his face and deal with you, at least it is good, although the Northern Heavenly King is difficult to deal with, but it is good to be able to offend one less Hou Ye after all. ”
Xiao Bing said with a smile: "I made this call, not just to express goodwill with Hou Ye. ”
"Oh?" Ye Bancheng said curiously, "Do you have other purposes?"
Xiao Bing smiled and said: "Ye Zi had a good chat with me before, and her opinion was the same as that of her uncle, thinking that I had to stabilize Master Hou first no matter what, so that I could hope to hold the Northern Heavenly King's next offensive." ”
Ye Bancheng sighed: "I still underestimate my little daughter, I have always treated her as a child, in fact, her excellence is no worse than her brothers and sisters." ”
Xiao Bing said: "Yes." ”
"Then you have other purposes for making this call to the Northern Heavenly King?"
"That's right. Xiao Bing's eyes flashed with wisdom and a little cunning, and he said with a smile, "I still have to lower my stature and beg Master Hou to help me make peace with the Northern Heavenly King." ”
Ye Bancheng was silent for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing, Xiao Bing also had a smile on his face, and his smile was very cunning.
"Okay, okay, my daughter really didn't see the wrong person, Xiaobing, you are not only brave but also strategic, you are really a person who does great things. Just by virtue of the hand you play, it is not something that ordinary people can play. Since you want to talk to Hou Ye, you can go. I told you his phone number, and his phone number was ....... ”
After Xiao Bing wrote it down, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ye, I took the time to see you." ”
"Okay, okay. ”
Xiao Bing hung up the phone, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, of course he knew what Ye Bancheng was laughing at just now, and he knew why Ye Bancheng wanted to say that he was cunning, Ye Zi's idea was to let Xiao Bing stabilize Hou Ye for the time being, and even show weakness, not to tear his face first, so that he would find an opportunity to win against the Northern Heavenly King with one blow, and when that time came, it would be too late for Hou Ye to help the Northern Heavenly King.
And Xiao Bing's idea was one step closer, he took the initiative to show weakness, gave Hou Ye enough face, and asked Hou Ye to help him say good things to the Northern Heavenly King, and in Xiao Bing's opinion, the Northern Heavenly King had no chance of letting him go, and at that time, the Northern Heavenly King saw that his trump card did not listen to his own words, and there would be no mustard in his heart?
Maybe this mustard may not be able to play a role, but after all, it can be regarded as a little to provoke the relationship between these two people.
And Ye Bancheng obviously understood Xiao Bing's intentions, so he said those words and smiled so happily.
After the two of them hung up the phone, Ye Bancheng soon dialed back the phone and told Xiao Bing that Hou Ye had agreed to meet, and invited Xiao Bing to have dinner tonight, and by the way, he told Xiao Bing about Hou Ye's address.
After thanking Ye Bancheng, Xiao Bing first went to the noodle restaurant to see the construction situation, and then began to go out shopping and choose the gifts to bring to the banquet.
What Hou Ye likes, this is difficult to judge, but these are not important, the important thing is that the gift must be more expensive, so as to highlight the sincerity, according to Hou Ye's identity and status, he will naturally not lack your gift, just for face.
Xiao Bing deliberately went to the antique market to buy a calligraphy and painting, about more than 100,000 yuan, not to mention anything particularly valuable, but according to Xiao Bing's current apparent status, more than 100,000 yuan is already a lot of blood, a person of Hou Ye's status naturally understands that one million is nothing on the body of a billionaire, but 35,000 yuan is already a huge amount of money in the eyes of an ordinary salaryman, Xiao Bing's apparent identity is just a shopkeeper and a chef, and 100,000 yuan is already a big deal, which is completely sincere.
After shopping, Xiao Bing glanced at the time, it was about an hour's drive from the Hou Wang's Mansion where the Hou Ye lived, and it was just right to go over now.
Hou Wangfu, here is naturally the residence of the Hou Ye of Jiangcheng, there are a total of three manors in Jiangcheng, one is the Beizhuang where the North Heavenly King lives, and the other is the Xizhuang where the Western Heavenly King lives, and the other manor is the Ye family manor belonging to the Ye family, and it is also the largest manor in the entire Jiangcheng.
The residence of the East Heavenly King is a theater built by himself, and the theater is naturally not open to the public, and the actors raised in it are specially designed to perform for the Eastern Heavenly King alone, and the Eastern Heavenly King often sings on stage in person, and the audience is all his subordinates.
The Southern Heavenly King is a villa halfway up the mountainside.
As for Master Hou...... As the lord of the underground world of Jiangcheng, Hou Ye does not like the feeling of living in a villa or manor, what he really yearns for is the mansions where those royal families or royal families or local officials lived in ancient China, and the mansion he built is the Hou Wangfu that fits his name.
When Xiao Bing arrived at the gate of Hou Wangfu, he raised his head and looked at the three words of Hou Wangfu on the golden plaque, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.
Xiao Bing stepped forward and buckled the door, and with a squeak, two people dressed as servants opened the door from the inside, these two people looked at Xiao Bing twice, and one of them asked, "Mr. Xiao?"
"Yes. ”
"Come in. The two men got out of the way, and one of them was still leading the way in front, "Master Hou has already prepared dinner, sir, please come with me." ”
Xiao Bing looked up to Hou Ye a few points higher, even the gatekeepers in the house knew the rules so well, and these people at least did not have the slightest arrogance on the surface, which shows that Hou Ye's heart is not simple.
This is a kind of mind, a kind of bearing, when the people under him can maintain such an attitude, it proves how big the ambition of the Hou Ye is.
This mansion is very large, there are some guards patrolling the courtyard, this person took Xiao Bing all the way into the living room, the maids who were originally busy stopped their movements one by one, bent down and bowed their heads to say hello to Xiao Bing, and then Xiao Bing was taken all the way to the restaurant, at the door of the restaurant, the servant did not go in, just knocked on the door, and then said inside: "Master Hou, Mr. Xiao is here." ”
At this time, the door opened from the inside, and a Sven man wearing myopia glasses stood at the door, smiling at Xiao Bing with a sven face: "It's Mr. Xiao, right? ”
Xiao Bing smiled and agreed, even if it was just a glance, Xiao Bing still felt a danger in the eyes of this middle-aged man who looked polite, even if the other party was with an easy-going smile, but Xiao Bing didn't know why he thought of an animal, that animal is called a cobra, if it doesn't move, once it shows its teeth, it will be fatal with one blow.
Hou Ye sat in the first place, and there were some bodyguards and maids standing in the restaurant, and Xiao Bing and the man with glasses also sat separately.
The table was full of meals, as well as high-end liquor, and Hou Ye said with a smile: "We are talking, and we haven't moved our chopsticks yet, so it's just right." ”
Xiao Bing smiled: "It's not too late, it's a little bit of my care." ”
A subordinate next to him came over to pick up the calligraphy and painting, and put it away on behalf of Hou Ye, Hou Ye smiled kindly and said, "Come on, what are you doing with gifts." ”
Xiao Bing said with a smile: "The first time I visited, the gift was not heavy, just to talk about the heart." ”
Hou Ye smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Xiao is not polite, then I will accept it, let's eat, my chefs are all special chefs hired from Kyoto, how about you try their skills?"
Xiao Bing picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, put them in his mouth, chewed them twice, and couldn't help but say from the bottom of his heart: "Good cooking skills, the chef in the Hou Ye's mansion is really authentic." ”
Hou Ye smiled and said: "Eat more if it's delicious, this kind of cooking skill can't be found in the entire Black Province...... Originally, this chef was going to be a private chef for a certain leader above, but later he sold me a face and entered my Hou Mansion, and now his monthly income is several times that of before, and he has a garage and even his own villa...... I have no other advantages as a person, that is, I have a good memory, and I will always remember the face that others give me. ”
Of course, others didn't give him face, he would also remember that this kind of potential line was clearly beating Xiao Bing, before he was supposed to be an old man who wanted to make peace, but he was rejected by Xiao Bing, a person of his status, no matter how broad-minded he is, but face is still very important.
Since Xiao Bing came here today for a purpose, he naturally wanted to do the drama in place, rolled his eyes, picked up the wine glass on the table and stood up.
