Chapter 5 · Reach a consensus

His business card was still in the pocket of the man's clothes, and he followed the humans around the supermarket, and then followed the humans out of the supermarket and turned around into the community. It wasn't until he sensed that Mei had taken his business card and parked safely at home on Chinese New Year's Eve, that Bai Qi restarted the car with satisfaction and turned around and drove towards Jinqiao South Street.

In fact, Mei Chinese New Year's Eve was right, Bai Qi is not a noble enough person to see righteousness and bravery, or to put it simply, Bai Qi is not a person.

He did have other plans for him.

It's just that it's not the kind of attempt to eat alive.

Mr. Bai's original plan was to have a bland and warm "chance encounter" with Mei on Chinese New Year's Eve in a second-hand bookstore, to become book friends with the same hobby, to make an appointment for a few meals, to send a few books, and to slowly figure it out - but when he walked to the second-hand bookstore, he was ambushed on the Jinhe Bridge.

The ones who came were only eight low-level servants, and although they were not high-level, they were well trained enough. The eight servants took up the auspicious position, fought and pulled, and introduced him into the enchantment that had been set up a long time ago. They didn't dare to attack head-on, nor did they dare to take the attack head-on, so they covered each other and sneaked up on his side and back in all sorts of tricks. Bai Qi immediately understood that the other party sent these eight slippery things to besiege him, not to intercept and kill, nor to be funny, but to drag him down.

At first, he thought that this was likely to be Yu Xianzhen's old demon Dao, and in order to block his "chance encounter" plan, he deliberately sent his subordinate ghosts to entertain him; But then he ruled out this possibility, if the demon Dao really objected to him approaching Mei Chinese New Year's Eve, when he was in the sheep market, he would decisively take that soul away.

Let's ask what someone wants to do on this Jinqiao South Street, what does it take to fork his Bai Qi aside first, and also need to buckle the pot to Yu Xianzhen's head?

So when Bai Qi blew up the eight "loaches" and hurriedly rushed into the maze at the corner of the street, he really saw Mei Chinese New Year's Eve surrounded in the middle of a large mass of dregs.

Thankfully, it's still too late.

When Bai Qi turned back to the bookstore, the bookstore had already lowered the roller shutter door, passed through the wall, the first and second floors were dim, only the stairs leading to the third floor, reflecting half of the bright lights; However, when he walked through the bookcases on the second floor and went straight to the third floor, he couldn't help frowning.

The smell of smoke is too strong.

The third floor of the bookstore has no partition walls, it is all supported by four pillars, and the entire floor is raised by half a foot, leaving a small rectangular concave at the top of the staircase, which is the same width as the staircase, and there is a shoe cabinet next to it. Even though Bai Qi was very reluctant, but when he stepped on other people's territory, he had to respect the rules of other people's houses, so he had to take off his shoes patiently and stepped on the slightly cool wooden floor.

“…… Yes, yes, I know that there are indeed difficulties in the objective technical aspect, but you yourself should know that sloppiness with me will not solve any problems. If I see it again, not to mention it once, even if there is a sign of another star, I will also take the time to invite you to have a cup of tea and discuss your company's annual salary......"

He walked around the first screen, and saw the source of the smoke sitting behind a short-footed case, his face covered with the stench of middle-aged bald leaders, and he was talking on the phone on an old-fashioned landline; The large cabinet behind her that reached to the ceiling was stuffed with brown paper bags, the long desk in front of her was piled with all kinds of papers, and on the cushion beside her lay a cat spirit like an adulterous concubine.

The faint gentleman slammed down the microphone, his eyes were empty, and the adulterous concubine immediately handed over a glass of fat house happy water with ice; The faint gentleman lowered his head and drank two sips of ice cola on the fat paws of the adulterous concubine, turned out the number book, brewed emotions, and prepared to make the next call.

"......" inexplicably felt like he was showing off his face.

So far, he is still just a lonely person, and he is suspected of being regarded as a villain by the object of the attempt to "meet", Mr. Bai gritted his teeth and put down his heart that he wanted to beat the two of them. Seeing a cushion on the other end of the long case, apparently left for him, he sat cross-legged opposite Yu Xianzhen, intending to have a good talk with the demon about Mei's Chinese New Year's Eve. Just as he was about to speak, a certain dead raccoon flower who was still maliciously selling cuteness turned his face and hissed out his fangs at him.

Just then, the phone was connected.

Mr. Bai choked on his old blood, but he still had to keep a smile on his face.

Thinking of this, Yu Xianzhen brushed his face everywhere and made phone calls, most of them for the sake of a poor little who had a secret and didn't know it, no matter how angry he was, he had to wait for the phone call to finish before he spread it.

So when the old fritter was polite to the other side of the phone for ten minutes, he brought up the matter while the other party was happy, and ended the phone call with a few commonly used compliments, and most of the carbon dioxide bubbles in the cup of fat house happy water were dispersed.

Yu Xianzhen finally put down the microphone and looked at Bai Qi, and the modest and cautious smile on his face when he called just now was hung into a half-dead decadence; Mr. Bai, or the head of the sheep market, also pursed the corners of his lips down, put on a late girl's face, omitted those beautiful words that wasted time, and went straight to the point: "Today's matter, I think I need an explanation." ”

Mr. Yu knocked off the dust on the edge of the ashtray with an expressionless face, and his hand was fierce, as if she was not knocking on a white copper smoke pot, but a bone of Bai Qi: "Mr. Bai, Yu has to remind you that before Mei officially agreed to your marriage proposal on Chinese New Year's Eve and went to Taishan Mansion with you to notarize the marriage certificate, it was the despicable people who needed to speak, not you." ”

Bai Qidan painfully understood what Yu Xianzhen meant.

Just as he had suspected her before, she was obviously also suspicious, and this time the incident was a farce he planned for the sake of "heroes saving beauty", and emphasized that the legal guardian of Mei's Chinese New Year's Eve is now her, not him. He suppressed his anger, lifted his chin, and explained in a very haughty manner: "This seat has never disdained such a means of inferiority. ”

Demon Dao narrowed his eyes meaningfully: "I hope so." ”

"Obviously, this is someone who wants him to die, and I will not tolerate this." Bai Qi groaned slightly, retracted some aggressive posture, and instead tried to drag Yu Xianzhen to the bottom of the water in a consultative tone, "Presumably Mr. Yu will not tolerate such a petty person?" ”

"So you left a mark on him with your business card? Scold. Yu Xianzhen reloaded a pot of cigarettes, leaned in front of the lamp and candle to light the fire, and exhaled a long puff of white smoke, "Before you came, Yu had already talked to Old Man Mei on the phone." ”

Sure enough, it was brine and tofu. She saw that the aura of the head of the meeting was like a rubber ball that had been poked in the eye, and it instantly withered by half, and she sneered in her heart, and stepped on the broken balloon again: "What do you guess Old Man Mei said?" ”

The head of the guild still maintained his cold and reserved expression, as if he was still wearing the bronze mask. Although the mask had cracked open, revealing his true face like a crappy son-in-law visibly, he still held back his strength and tried to win back a city: "What did Xiaoxi's grandfather say?" I would like to hear about it. ”

"Old Man Mei" or "Grandpa Xiaoxi", it sounds like the former is more formal and respectful, but the distant relatives hidden behind it are immediately apparent.

It's a pity that this little bit of caution can't stimulate Yu Xianzhen, the old demon who knows all the inside stories is completely unmoved, biting the cigarette holder made of agate, and continuing to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog with the words of Bai Qi: "Old man Mei told me that the cause and effect that should be settled must be ended; But his precious grandson, he does good deeds and accumulates virtue when he is a child, and he should not be the one who gets evil retribution, he must have the right to choose for himself. ”

"What about Mr. Yu? What do you think? "Bai Qi can most likely understand Old Man Mei's hard work, as long as he does not hurt Mei Chinese New Year's Eve and can fulfill the responsibility of protection, even if he is not used to seeing him as a demon, the old man will acquiesce to his existence and leave the decision of everything to Mei Chinese New Year's Eve himself.

In the final analysis, they are still afraid that he, the sheep market, will be the first to act recklessly, and he will play the trick of robbing relatives and forcing marriage on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"I," Yu Xianzhen laughed sheepishly, his elbow pressed against the document, his upper body leaned forward very oppressively, and his expression became serious, "I'll ask you one last time, you, Bai Qi, really plan to hook up Mei Chinese New Year's Eve, and then stay with a mortal who has a lifespan of only a hundred years?" ”

The demon road bites the four words "from the beginning to the end" very hard, and also bites the two words "mortal" very hard. Speaking of this, Mr. Bai was calm, he smiled gently, and replied seriously: "Mr. Yu is cautious, how can this be said to be a hook." He saved my life, and because of his success in overcoming the calamity, I have cultivated my human body, so naturally I should make a promise with my body to fulfill cause and effect, is there anything wrong? You can rest assured, Bai is a serious businessman, and he is definitely not a bandit leader like Qi Yanzhi, who will definitely not violate the rules of the two governments, and will definitely respect his own wishes. ”

was thrown out of the arms of the proprietress earlier, and Boss Qi held back the fire in his belly; As a result, he pretended to be cute for a long time, and he didn't get half of the caress, not to mention, and he also lay down a shot at the old worm, and the bandit leader who was undisciplined and fearless suddenly exploded with a meow: "Do you know that cats also eat snakes......"

Although Qi Yanzhi has a longer age and can be regarded as a senior, Bai Qi doesn't even bother to give this scum of the demon world a white eye.

"Oh, that's no problem." The old smoking gun leaned back, leaned on the big iron cabinet behind him, easily suppressed Boss Qi's evil cat roar, raised the glass cup containing half a cup of fat house happy water, and wished Bai Qiyao a "happy cooperation", looking like a villain who has succeeded in his treacherous scheme.

The evil cat was pinched off the back of its neck and reluctantly lay back on the cushion, covering its face with two fat paws.

Although he was put on a white face by the demon Dao, he got the biggest obstacle and gained two good allies, and Mr. Bai's mood also improved, so he chuckled very gently, as if he was not the head of the sheep market, but really a senior intellectual: "Bai has a reluctant ...... invitation"

Now that a consensus has been reached, Yu Xianzhen's tone has become much more polite, and he replied with his chin: "Please speak." ”

By making a legitimate appeal, the head of the meeting happily counterattacked: "The next time Bai comes to visit the meeting, I also ask Mr. Yu not to smoke, the smell of smoke is too strong, Bai can't stand it - and smoking is harmful to health, are you right." ”

"Oh." Demon Dao narrowed his eyes, and scooped the cat spirit that was looking at the tail and self-pity into his arms, with a kind and decent smile, touching the tanuki flower while snoring contentedly, while rubbing her hand wildly with his cheeks, "Since smoking is not good, then I suck the cat, what do you think?" ”
