Chapter 40: The Journey of the Borrowed Sword
Shauns is back, and it strikes me as sudden. He couldn't stay in China for a few days a year, but he didn't know how long he would stay when he came back this time.
Either way, my plans can get started. Minaya's stay in Chengdu has always made me feel like I was carrying a time bomb, and it doesn't matter if there is no bomb disposal expert, the key is that I don't know when she will explode.
I made an appointment with Shauns to meet in the evening, and he said he would let me know when the time came. I happened to be fine in the afternoon. asked Lu Jieyu and Xu Mingxiang to have lunch together. Have an afternoon tea, and by the way, let my senior sister introduce a few big customers.
I think I'm going to be so busy that I don't even remember to change my underwear in the coming days. As long as the life problems of the company's 20 people can be solved, I have no worries about Huaxia.
Now there is an opportunity to make the company bigger and stronger, and Huaxia is hanging on the surface, and nothing matters. How could I not have known that he had been waiting for this day for a long time. He must be holding his breath in his heart now, ready to show his strength. That's where I deserve him, this kid is more attractive when he works hard than when he tells pornographic jokes. When he's busy, he can eat three meals together.
At this critical time, I must not hold him back, although he never complained and blamed me. But you can't be too heartless to be a brother.
After lunch, the four of us found a café and sat down.
Xu Mingxiang flipped through the drink list, didn't raise her eyelids, and said, "Say, what do you two melon babies ask me for?" ”
Hua Xia's eyes narrowed into a slit, rubbed his hands together and said, "What can we ask of you?" You order it first, what's the hurry? ”
Xu Mingxiang asked for a latte, and I asked Huaxia for a cup of bamboo leaf green. Lu Jieyu asked for a glass of tomato juice.
I whispered in Lu Jieyu's ear, "Do you have a special appetite when you see the red juice?" ”
Lu Jieyu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "I hate it!" ”
That delicate voice. It makes every strand of my hair feel extremely comfortable.
"Hey, you two should pay attention to the influence, this is a public place. To flirt and go home to flirt. Xu Mingxiang pretended to be angry and stopped.
After two or three hours of idle talking, I turned to the topic, and I said to Xu Mingxiang: "Senior sister, I won't talk to you about the bend, I have something to say." ”
Xu Mingxiang forked her hands to her chest, leaned on the sofa, half-raised her eyelids, and said drowsily: "I knew that it was not good for you two boys to ask me to come out." You haven't beaten around the bush and been talking to me for hours before you pave the way for this, right? Huaxia, this kid usually asks him to have a meal as if he wanted his life, but today he suddenly became so generous, Aolong is used as a snack, don't I understand? You have something to say, you have a fart, and you are sleepy. ”
I looked at Huaxia, and he winked at me. That's what I mean. I sat up straight, cleared my throat, and said, "Senior sister, here's the thing. Our company has expanded its scale, and now it is in urgent need of large customers, and you have been in Chengdu for some years, I think you must have a lot of resources in your hands. Introduce two to us. Know. ”
"That's it?" Xu Mingxiang raised her eyebrows and asked me, "Laizi, you came up with this idea, right?" This guy Huaxia was so dead in front of me that he didn't dare to say a word to me. That's why you kid dare to make up your mind with me. Don't say that Senior Sister won't help you. Isn't that the customer? Another day, I will introduce you to a wine boss in Qionglai, that old guy has long wanted to advertise his own winery, and has never found a cooperative company. How to talk about it is your business, if it is enough for you to eat for three or five years? ”
One customer is enough for us to eat for three or five years? How fat is that? Huaxia couldn't even close her mouth with a smile.
Xu Mingxiang knocked on the table and said, "Don't be happy with the two of you, favors belong to favors, and business belongs to business." If the business is negotiated, I will take 10% of the advertising fee. ”
When Hua Xia heard this, his eyes were about to pop out, and he exclaimed, "Ten percent? It's too easy for you black agent to make money. ”
"What? If not, then you better go to the customer yourself! Xu Mingxiang closed her eyes and prepared to take a nap after speaking.
Hua Xia hurriedly said: "Senior sister, my good senior sister, isn't it ten percent what I'm joking with you?" I agreed. ”
I don't have a big opinion, if there is an intermediary who introduces this kind of good thing, maybe the idea will be 15 percent, maybe more. Anyway, this money is going to be spent, so why bother with cheap outsiders.
Seans's phone calls have been made several times, and I have not dared to answer in front of Lu Jieyu. I pretended to go to the toilet and gave Shayns back.
Shawns said that he was in Jintang County and would not be able to come back today because there was a meeting of the parishioners tomorrow. He said that if there was an emergency, I would have to go there and find him. I calculated that the distance was more than 100 kilometers back and forth, and the maximum time to talk about something was four hours. Departing now, it is estimated that I will be back before 9 o'clock in the evening.
I opened the toilet door, and the kid from Huaxia was standing at the door, and as soon as he saw me come out, he immediately asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'll borrow a knife." After saying that, he walked out of the toilet.
I picked up my bag from the sofa and told Xu Mingxiang and Lu Jieyu that there was something going on in the evening, so I wouldn't eat with them. Before leaving, I clearly saw that Lu Jieyu hated me. There's no way my phone vibrates past her ears. It's not that she's afraid I'm going out and messing around, she's definitely angry that I'm not telling her the truth if I have something.
How can you tell her the truth about this kind of thing, it is impossible to tell her that I hooked up with an old Catholic man and was going to deal with her old acquaintance Minaya, right?
Shauns, the old man, is really funny, and he holds a meeting with parishioners, making himself like a big star. Does he still have so many fans to be appeased?
I drove the Land Rover, which China had occupied for a long time, to Jintang all the way. The thought of being able to get rid of the thorns in the eyes and the thorns in the flesh right away is a great mood.
I don't want to be a hero who fights violence and peace, in the final analysis, I just want to protect this hard-won love, and I can't let Lu Jieyu's wait become an empty joy.
Two hours later, I finally arrived in front of the only Catholic church in Jintang County, and night had fallen. The square in front of the church was very lively, and a group of aunts and grandmothers gathered together to dance the unique Chinese dance - square dance. Makes me dumbfounded.
I pushed open the church door and walked in. After closing the door, the noise suddenly disappeared from me. The church was quiet and empty.
Am I coming early? Shayns won't go to dinner, Lao Tzu rushed over non-stop, and he didn't even bother to take a sip of water, it was too uninteresting for him to do so.
I spun around, but I didn't see a ghost. With such a big church, you can't even see a single clergyman, so you can't all go outside for square dancing, right?
I've already given Shaynes enough face, and usually if you wait for more than fifteen minutes, you'll get angry and leave. It's been an hour of waiting, and the old guy hasn't shown up yet. I couldn't help it, so I picked up the phone and dialed Shauns.
"I'm sorry, the phone you made is turned off!" The voice coming from the phone made me angry. I picked up the phone to see if I had dialed the wrong number.
That's right, it's the old guy's phone, so I dialed it again without giving up. It's still the same shutdown. I persistently dialed two or three times in a row, and the results were without exception.
How do I feel like I've been released into a pigeon, what the hell is this old guy playing with me? If you are in a hurry, you should tell me, if you don't have time today, you can do it another day. I have to call Lao Tzu to this great Far East today, and he himself will not show up.
It turns out that foreigners are so unreliable, and I think I should reconsider whether I should cooperate with him.
Wait any more and I'll starve to death. I got up and prepared to go out. At this time, a woman's voice came from behind him, "Don't you wait? ”
I jerked around, and a chill instantly hit my body, and I tried to find the source of the sound, only to see a figure emerge from the dark room beside the huge cross in front of me. The whole body is shrouded in black robes.
I pressed my back against the gate, and my hand behind my back pulled the gate a few times, but it didn't pull. The door seems to be locked from the outside.
The man wiped the hood of the black robe from his head to his back, revealing his beautiful golden curls, his turquoise eyes looking at me wickedly, and a malicious smile on his face, as if I had been a dish in her mouth. The woman in front of her was the long-lost Minaya.
She was walking slowly towards me, step by step. I touched my whole body, and there was no other weapon to defend myself than to take the soul.
How could this woman be here? She's not going to be in trouble with Shayns, is she? As a priest with ideals and ambitions, how could Shauns be in the same league as vampires. If they didn't hook up, how could that explain the fact that Shayns didn't show up after calling me over on the phone, but that there was a vampire waiting for me at the church.
I was so confused that I couldn't figure it out, so I could only delay for a moment and ask, "Aren't you a vampire?" Can I enter the church? You're not afraid of ashes. ”
Minaya sneered and said disdainfully: "Just with this cottage Catholic church, and this broken cross behind me? It doesn't make any difference to me at all, you should know I'm a third-generation direct line, right? Didn't Jessie tell you how powerful the three generations of vampires were? ”
Jessie is Lu Jieyu's English name. She told me that Minaya was strong, but she couldn't be lawless. I think it has something to do with the church itself. Our country is notoriously rich in parallel goods, and even if I was killed, I couldn't imagine that even a church could be copied.
Looks like this woman has sworn to keep me here. (To be continued......)
