Xue Qingyi was startled by Xiao Rui's suddenly approaching face.

"Who?" She asked.

"You've been staring since he came in, who do you say?" Xiao Rui's voice was cold, with a hint of anger that he didn't know himself.

"It's just an irrelevant person, last time I happened to see him welcoming guests to participate in the quarterly competition, I didn't expect him to see him again this time, just think it's a coincidence, just take a few more looks."

Do you just think it's just a few more glances? It's really light. It was clear from the beginning to the end, if she wasn't wearing a hat, Xiao Rui would definitely not even blink her eyes.

"Is it really just a coincidence? Or did you already know him? Xiao Rui stared at her eyes in her hat and suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and asked.

"Xiao Jialangjun, we are not relatives or friends, why should I sue you?" Xiao Qingyi said word by word.

Is Xiao Rui's brain stuck? Worry about her so much.

Xiao Rui had a vague smile on his face, but the coldness in his eyes was like ice, he approached her ear and said lazily, "I thought we had reached a tacit understanding between us, it turns out that in your heart, we are still not relatives, not enemies and friends." ”

Originally, Xue Qingyi muttered in her heart, although there is a secret between them that cannot be said, it does not mean that she has to tell him everything one by one, and he Xiao Rui is just a trusted partner to her.

"We have reached a tacit understanding, but everyone has their own limit, Xue Jialangjun, you have asked too much, don't you know that you have crossed the line."

Xiao Rui moved away from her face, did he cross the line? Did he ask too much? When she said this, he felt that he was asking too much and worrying too much about her affairs.

Since the day he asked Xiao Qi to monitor her, unknowingly, listening to her news every day has become a habit for him. At first, he just thought it was funny and curious.

Gradually, as he listened to more and more things about her, just listening to the news could no longer satisfy him.

The idea of getting close to her was born in his heart, so the day Xiao Yu returned to the Ningguo Mansion. He would have sneaked into her boudoir that night to find out.

After confirming from her mouth that she was not Xiao Yu, but Xue Qingyi, that inexplicable joy suddenly surged into his heart, he had never tasted this taste, but he did not reject it. There was even a little joy.

It was an accident to see her today, and he sat next to her without thinking about it. Seeing that she had been staring at the young student, he was very unhappy in his heart.

It was even more annoying to him than to hear the vague military book that was forced on his head, and now looking at her unusually calm and cold face under the hood, Xiao Rui had an awkward mind that I treat you as my own person, and you don't treat me as your own person, which makes him very unhappy.

His slender fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the expression on his face was even more cold and handsome.

Xue Qingyi was stared at by him so coldly, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Xiao Rui didn't speak, and his momentum was still very scary. She only felt a chill on her body, so she hurriedly picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip gently.

At this time, the waiter brought hot dishes one after another, Xue Qingyi and Xiao Rui did not speak again, and in the silence of the low pressure, the two of them had a meal quietly.

When they finished eating, Xiao Qi also came back from outside, he whispered a few words next to Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui glanced at her, and got up and left the table.

Xue Qingyi exhaled lightly. saw that he and Xiao Qi went straight up to the second floor, and on the side of the escalator on the second floor, Xue Qingyi also saw the figure of Fang Jun, the shopkeeper.

After Xiao Rui arrived on the second floor, Fang Jun saluted Xiao Rui. The attitude was very respectful, and a few people exchanged a few words, and Fang Jun led the group to the third floor.

This third floor has always been a forbidden place to welcome guests, and no one has been able to reach the top so far, she calculated the date Today is the beginning of the month, that is, the date of the meeting between Fang Jun, the shopkeeper, and the head of the welcoming guest.

Xue Qingyi looked at the backs of these three people, and his eyes became dark. Could it be that this Xiao Rui is the big boss behind the scenes of welcoming guests. If it was really him, then it would make sense, no wonder he refused to sell Wang Xiaoer's death deed to her, it turned out that all along, her every move was under his nose, Xiao Rui was really pervasive.

Xue Qingyi glanced upstairs, called Le Ling, and left to welcome guests, in addition to welcoming guests today, there is another place she must go.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Qi followed Fang Jun up to the third floor and walked to a private room with a locked door, Fang Jun took out the silver key, opened the iron lock, and stepped back, letting Xiao Rui and Xiao Qi go first.

After the two of them entered, Fang Jun entered the room, turned around and closed the door.

This private room is spacious and bright, in addition to the tables, chairs and bookcases, the most striking thing in the room is the rows of cabinets made of ebony against the wall, these cabinets are neatly divided, a total of sixty-four small compartments, Fang Jun walked to one of the compartments and stopped, pulled out the tucks, and took out a book.

At this time, Xiao Rui had already sat down in front of the bookcase, supporting his head with one hand, his eyes slightly closed, thinking about his thoughts. Xiao Qi stood behind him respectfully.

Fang Jun put the account book on the bookcase and said, "Lang Jun, this is this month's account book, you can take a look." ”

Then, he rejoiced, "This month's quarterly calligraphy and painting competition has been very successful, so our income is also very considerable. ”

Xiao Rui lazily opened his eyes, picked up the account book on the table, flipped a few pages at random, and closed the account book.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Quarterly calligraphy and painting competition? ”

"Yes, this season's calligraphy and painting competition was judged by Wu Jiajia, so it attracted a lot of people to participate. The next time they do a similar event, the judges must choose heavyweights, although these big names cost more, but compared to the income and fame they created, that cost is nothing. "Fang Jun is overjoyed, this event really made them welcome guests and earn a lot of money.

"Are there many students who stand out in this painting and calligraphy competition?" Xiao Rui glanced at Fang Jun and asked casually.

Fang Jun was surprised, wasn't he talking about the benefits, why did he mention those students, he suppressed the doubts in his heart, and replied, "Zhang Zibo's paintings from Mochizuki Academy have been unanimously praised by everyone, and they won this competition. ”

"Oh, Uncle Zhang?" Xiao Rui muttered.

"In fact, there is another person's works in this calligraphy and painting competition that are also very good, but the score given by Wu is too low, and in the end this person still failed, and this Cui Yuan is really unlucky." (To be continued.) )
