Chapter 165: Appearance and Loyalty
Wang Xiao followed Zhang Kui and went to the most remote small box on the second floor of "Fei Tang", which is the favorite place for Zhang Kui and several chefs in the back kitchen to rest and play in their free time.
Zhang Kui's friend is named Xie Zhipeng, when he stood up to greet Wang Xiao, the top of his head was also at the bridge of Zhang Kui's nose, black and thin, with some sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, but a pair of eyes were shining with fine light.
At first glance, Wang Xiao's impression of Xie Zhipeng is two words: thief.
When Xie Zhipeng saw Wang Xiao, he immediately walked over with a smile, his two small eyes narrowed into a line, and said with a smile: "You came just in time, Chef Zhang is about to hold you to the sky, it is estimated that the people from the fire brigade may not be able to let you get down if they come to set up a cloud ladder." However, now that I see you, I think you're a real person! ”
"Ahem!" Zhang Kui glared at Xie Zhipeng, and said to Wang Xiao embarrassedly, "This is a former colleague of mine, named Xie Zhipeng, nicknamed 'Xie Xiaoyan'." ”
"Master Zhang is indeed exaggerating, but it is not as unbearable as you think, I believe that my family's ancestral face secret technique is still very effective." Wang Xiao observed Xie Zhipeng with the Eye of Death, and said without humility or arrogance.
Wang Xiao was so polite to Xie Zhipeng at first sight, entirely because he was Zhang Kui's friend, otherwise based on his first impression of Xie Zhipeng, Wang Xiao would not be able to pay attention to Xie Zhipeng.
Sure enough, under this look, it was found that Xie Zhipeng's evil qi was too heavy and his righteousness was weak.
"Oh, it turned out to be a look, I believe in this, every year in the spring, I will go to the temple to burn incense, give some incense money, and then come back to find someone to see the eight characters or something, anyway, I believe in this set." Xie Zhipeng returned to his seat and sat down, while quietly continuing to look at Wang Xiao, suspecting that Wang Xiao was so young, it was impossible for Wang Xiao to have much depth of knowledge about those profound and complicated physiognomy or metaphysics such as the Book of Changes.
Zhang Kui poured tea for Wang Xiao and teased Xie Zhipeng: "Where are you here?" When you go to the temple to burn incense, you go to ask for wealth, and most of the fortune tellers are fortune, and even the opening of your store is for the god of martial arts. You're just losing money, but what else do you believe? ”
Wang Xiao listened and couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Kui's ridiculous remark reminded him of a question about the attitude of Chinese people towards faith and religion.
Many people believe in Buddhism, especially those who do business. They occasionally go to the temple to burn incense, invite a god of wealth or a god of wealth to the storefront, and burn incense and make offerings to the god of wealth every time.
However, other than that, they don't care about the teachings of the religion, and they usually do evil or evil, as if they only believe that God can bring them good luck and wealth, but they don't believe in God's mercy and the wheel of karma.
For example, Xie Zhipeng, who worships the God of Wealth so respectfully, but the evil spirit on his body is so heavy, he must have done something hurtful to the heavens and reason.
There are those who worship only the gods and not the living beings.
"Don't laugh at me, we do business, who doesn't believe this? The bigger the boss, the more he believes this. Xie Zhipeng retorted.
Wang Xiao listened and answered: "Do you believe that the God of Wealth can bring you wealth, do you believe that good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded?" ”
"Huh!" Xie Zhipeng was choked by Wang Xiao's words and didn't think of how to refute it for a long time, because he really didn't believe this, if this theory was really true, he should have gone to hell a long time ago, so he was also a little weak in his heart.
"Let's not talk about this, even if we talk for three days and three nights, there will be no result. Zhang Kui blew you to the core, Xiao Wang, can you show me your hands? If you're right, I'll get you insurance. Xie Zhipeng lit a cigarette, took two puffs, squinted his eyes and said to Wang Xiao.
"It's not difficult, I've been observing your face since I came in just now. To tell the truth, I have omitted those mysterious terms, and I will directly talk about the result! In your life, the first twenty years were still good, and there was nothing wrong with your health. However, the last fifteen years have been the beginning of the reversal of your fate, not to mention the fortune, because it is still relatively smooth at present, although this good situation will not last long, but let's not talk about this first, talk about your life. Looking at your face, twelve years ago, you should have experienced a life and death catastrophe, so to speak, you escaped death once. I don't know if I'm right. Wang Xiao asked deliberately vaguely.
He saw with the eyes of death that Xie Zhipeng had basically never had a serious illness in the first twenty years, but when he was twenty-three years old, he had suffered a knife wound, and it was a very serious knife wound, almost injuring his kidneys.
When Xie Zhipeng heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, he did miss his life twelve years ago, and this matter involved him too much to say, so after he came back to life, he stayed away from the place where it was wrong, and never mentioned it to anyone else.
He met Zhang Kui eight years ago, so it is impossible for Zhang Kui to know something, and it can be ruled out that Zhang Kui revealed this information to Wang Xiao in advance.
Wang Xiao saw that his expression had changed, although he quickly covered it up again, and guessed in his heart that Xie Zhipeng had guessed by himself, and there must be something hidden about the knife wound that time.
"Ten years ago, two years after that catastrophe, you suffered another serious catastrophe. Twelve years ago you hit Kejin, and you hit Keshui ten years ago, and both times you almost killed you. Am I right? Wang Xiao looked at Xie Zhipeng and said lightly.
Xie Zhipeng couldn't sit still, he was almost stabbed to death with a knife twelve years ago; Ten years ago, after he was secretly poured sleeping pills by a girl, he was dragged into the icy river by her in the middle of the night and almost drowned.
These are the two past events that he is most reluctant to mention in his heart, and now he is guessed by a young man who is not amazing, and he can't help but be shocked.
"Ahem...... This one...... Sure enough, it was a hero who came out of a teenager...... No, it's that people can't be disguised. I didn't expect you to be so good at physiognomy at such a young age. You guessed that right, I almost hung up twelve years ago, and I almost drowned ten years ago. Xie Zhipeng was shocked, and eagerly wanted Wang Xiao to talk about his future fortunes, so he had to admit these two points in passing.
Zhang Kui didn't know, and when he heard that Xie Zhipeng almost hung up twice, he couldn't help but feel bad for his fate, and said: "Xie Xiaoyan, seeing that you usually hold the ground, I can't imagine that you have had such a tragic experience twice?" How come I've never heard you mention it? ”
"Ahem...... This, if I keep showing off this thing, wouldn't it be too hypocritical! So, I'm usually too willing to bring it up. Xie Zhipeng said confusedly.
"In my opinion, you should buy an insurance, and it must be a big purchase, in case something happens one day, it can also make you spend a little less." Zhang Kui knew that Xie Zhipeng was very slammed on the door, so he took this opportunity to tease him.
"Hearing Master Wang say this now, I really have this idea!" Xie Zhipeng smiled awkwardly.
"Forget about the insurance, after more than a month, you will have another catastrophe, so let's think about how to avoid this catastrophe first!" Wang Xiao took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, glanced at Xie Zhipeng, and said such a sentence coldly.
As soon as Xie Zhipeng heard this, the cigarette in his mouth fell on the crotch of his pants, and a wisp of green smoke rose from under the red cigarette butt, and a faint smell of burnt paste wafted in the room.
"Beware of cigarette butts—"
Zhang Kui saw that Xie Zhipeng was stunned by Wang Xiao's words, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time, but he didn't notice that the cigarette butt fell off the crotch of his pants and burned, so he hurriedly shouted at Xie Zhipeng.
"Ahh
Xie Zhipeng came back to his senses, hurriedly bounced up from the chair, and slapped the cigarette butt away in a panic.
"It's a hardwood floor, and it's worth a lot more than the pants you bought at the stall." Zhang Kui quickly picked up the cigarette butt and threw it into the ashtray, and said this reflexively.
Xie Zhipeng was not in the mood to tease Zhang Kui anymore, he asked Wang Xiao nervously: "Master Wang, can you help me take a look again, could it be a mistake?" ”
When Zhang Kui heard this, he laughed out loud and said happily: "Xie Xiaoyan, you changed your words so quickly!" It's only been a few minutes, but from Xiao Wang to Master Wang. Also, I won't call you Xie Xiaoyan in the future, it's time to call you Xie Xiaodalian! ”
"Go, go, go cool, I'm going to talk to Master Wang about business!" Xie Zhipeng shouted to Zhang Kui.
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Zhang Kui didn't tease him anymore, and sat aside to drink tea.
"I've said everything I need to say, and there's nothing more to say." Wang Xiao said indifferently, deliberately leaving Xie Zhipeng in suspense, just not telling him what happened to the catastrophe more than a month later.
Xie Zhipeng was frightened, and hurriedly flattered: "Master Wang said that he was laughing, how could there be nothing to say?" Since it is a catastrophe, there must be a trick to resolve it, if you show the way, I will definitely not treat you badly, how much money you want, you have the final say. ”
"This ...... I'm here today to meet a friend and talk about something important, so I don't have time to study this for the time being. That's it, when we're done with this, we'll talk about it again if we have the chance, and I won't talk about it today. Wang Xiao didn't say anything to death, but just said that he didn't want to talk about it today.
In fact, he wanted to find out what Xie Zhipeng had done, if it was possible, this Xie Zhipeng might have to become Concubine Qin's substitute ghost, after all, Concubine Qin's time was running out, he couldn't bear to watch such a simple and kind girl die young, and he had to leave a backup hand to help her.
When Xie Zhipeng heard this, he hurriedly and quietly gave Zhang Kui a look, hoping that Zhang Kui could help him say good things and let Wang Xiao help him avoid this catastrophe.
After Zhang Kui saw it, he didn't listen to him, but persuaded him: "Wang Xiao came today, but I didn't talk to you about this, they came here to meet an important guest, and I forced them to come up and talk about the name, and I have told you enough." Anyway, there is still more than a month to go, don't worry, go back first, I'm going to be busy here soon, and Wang Xiao's guests are almost here. ”
Xie Zhipeng gritted his teeth, wondering if this Zhang Kui was jealous that he made more money than him by opening a store, so he didn't give him the recipe for the sauce, and he didn't help him talk at this time.
"Where is Boss Xie's hotel? When you pass by, you can sit where you have time. Wang Xiao said suddenly.
"Peking University Town, when do you want to go, call me in advance, I'm ready to prepare, I can't neglect the distinguished guests. This is my business card, feel free to call my number. Xie Zhipeng flatteringly took out his business card and offered it with both hands, but still left in a huff. (To be continued.) )
