Chapter 9: Regaining Freedom

Li Xiang strode down the street, scolding and scolding as he walked: "Bastard has long ears! Lao Tzu will pull off your pair of donkey ears sooner or later!" The donkey ears in Li Xiang's mouth are naturally Gondolin who maliciously suppressed him.

Colin tossed his short legs upside down, trotted, panting and following behind Li Xiang, not daring to say a word. Just now, when he saw Li Xiang coming out of the examination room with a black face, he knew that Li Xiang must have something wrong with his exam.

Li Xiang suddenly stopped, Colin didn't react, and directly bumped into Li Xiang, sitting on the ground.

Li Xiang turned around and saw the embarrassed appearance of the little goblin, couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to help his friend, and asked, "You said that you don't have a professional qualification certificate, can you open an enchantment shop?" Many people, like Greid, attach other people's professional certificates to their own stores in order to obtain business qualifications. ”

Li Xiang said: "So, I can also hire an enchanter to fill the faΓ§ade and then open my own enchantment shop?"

Colin nodded, and before he could say anything, Li Xiang then said to himself: "No! That donkey ear is a snake on the ground, if I open an enchantment shop, that guy doesn't know what kind of tricks he will play with me." There is also business tax, and it costs a lot of money to hire people, so if you can't earn a few dollars, you have to worry about the donkey's ears every day, it's not cost-effective...... Colin, what do you think we're going to do?"

"You're an enchanter, I'm just an apprentice who was kicked out of a beauty salon, I don't know......" Colin remembered the identity gap between himself and Li Xiang, a little lost.

Li Xiang stretched out his hand and put it on the shoulder of the little goblin, and said with a smile: "What do you say? I am an amateur enchanter with no business qualifications, and I am no better than you. ”

The enchantment shop can't be opened for the time being, Li Xiang thought about it, he and Colin returned to Danfeng Beauty Salon It was a relatively safe way, at least there was a foothold. But Seren certainly can't tolerate Colin, and there's only one way to solve this problem.

"Colin, how much do you think Greid's beauty salon is worth?" Li Xiang asked suddenly.

"I don't know...... That shop is doing so well, how can it be worth five or six hundred gold coins?" said Colin, not so sure.

"Five or six hundred gold coins?" Li Xiang calculated the money he and Colin made from dumping those enchanted items on the black market, and it seemed that he could almost buy Danfeng Beauty Salon. "How about we take his store down?"

Greid's recent dissatisfaction with Li Xiang, Li Xiang fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and when he was in a good mood, he would go to the beauty salon to show his face, and he didn't know what he was doing all day. Early this morning, Li Xiang went out with his little attendant. Greid specially sent someone to the beauty salon to see it, but Li Xiang didn't go to work.

At this time, Li Xiang returned to the Greide Mansion in a hurry, and asked with a face: "Grede, how much do I still owe you?"

Greider was worried that he couldn't find Li Xiang, hehe Yile, after a rough calculation, said: "When you first came, you cheated and drank with me for half a month, and during that time, your daily food standard was 30 silver coins, and the accommodation fee of my mansion was 10 silver coins per day, so it was ...... 6 gold coins. ”

Li Xiang said disapprenously: "It's quite a lot." ”

Greider thought that Li Xiang was frightened, and then said, "It's not over yet." After that half a month, your food standard was lowered, but there were also 10 silver coins per day, and the accommodation fee was still 10 silver coins, which lasted for about 1 month, which is 6 gold coins. ”

"Boss Greid's so calculating. Li Xiang glanced at Greid, and continued to listen to the lion's mouth.

Greid pointed at Colin and said, "Later, this guy also lived here, and it was almost a month. So the cost of the last month is 12 gold coins, for a total of 24 gold coins. After deducting two months' salary, I will give you a discount, and you still owe me 22 gold coins. ”

Li Xiang raised his head, glanced at Greid, and asked casually, "Is there anything else?"

Greid smiled slightly, and swore solemnly: "I am an honest businessman, and I will never ask you for an extra penny." ”

"In other words, if I return these 22 gold coins, you will no longer have the right to restrict my freedom, right?"

Greid nodded and said disdainfully, "If you can afford it." ”

Li Xiang stretched out his hand to Colin and said, "Give it to me." ”

In Greid's astonished gaze, Li Xiang took his hand, slapped a handful of gold coins into Grede's hand, and said, "Count! 22 gold coins, not one is much, not one is not too much." We're both clear!"

"You, you...... Where did you get that much money?" asked Greid, incredulous.

Li Xiang made up nonsense: "You forget, I have a friend named Rivigaz, who seems to be the richest person in the world." This small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for him. "He's not stupid enough to tell Greid's the truth. Besides, when Rivigaz gave Li Xiang the VIP card of Messiah City that day, Greid also saw it with his own eyes, and moving out of the rich man Rivigaz could make Grede have a lot less crooked ideas.

"Oh, I see. Greider said. He is very aware of Li Xiang's commercial value, coupled with the friendship between Rivigaz and Li Xiang, it is reasonable for Big Fortune to mainly woo Li Xiang. Although Grede eats quite well in the flower capital, compared to the rich man Rivigaz, he is really like an ant.

"Now let's get down to business!" Greid was still thinking about how to use Li Xiang to tie up with the rich man Rivigaz, and Li Xiang spoke again. "The rich man is very interested in your beauty salon, and he came to Huadu this time to expand his business, so he plans to buy your beauty salon and let me help him run it. Make an offer!"

Grad has a lot of industries under his name, many Danfeng beauty salons, and Li Xiang has now gotten rid of his control, and the beauty salon lacks Li Xiang's signboard, so that's it. Greid's eyes rolled and said, "How good my beauty salon business is, Master Li Xiang has a deep understanding. This location is also the golden area of Huadu. The guests who come and go here are all people with heads and faces, and this value is really hard to estimate. ”

"Less nonsense, the last thing a rich man lacks is money!"

"This ......," said Greid, who pretended to be silent for a while, holding out a finger. "I think it's worth it. ”

Li Xiang was a little incredulous and asked, "100 gold coins?"

"Ten thousand gold coins!"

Li Xiang was amused, and Grad's sky-high asking price was really daring, and said: "Crazy, are you? Without me, what are you doing with this broken shop?" Li Xiang did say that the idea was up, and the Danfeng beauty salon itself was only a mid-to-high-end positioning, and the reason why it could stand out among many competitors was because of Li Xiang.

The price of 10,000 gold coins, Greid's natural price was false, and he immediately changed his words: "8,000, this is my bottom line!"

"The bottom line, huh?" Li Xiang said as he took a sip of black tea and stared at Greid. "Believe it or not, I asked Rivigaz to open a beauty salon opposite?3000, don't pull it down!" Colin's estimated price was 500 gold coins, and of course Li Xiang also hoped to buy Danfeng Beauty Salon at this price, but with Grede's urine, 500 gold coins was simply a fantasy.

Greid sighed helplessly and reluctantly said, "Okay." For the sake of the rich man's face, 3000 is 3000!"

"Let's just decide for now. Li Xiang didn't look very satisfied and said. "I'll go back and ask Rivigaz what he means, but I'm not sure he's happy with the price. ”

"3,000 gold coins?" After Li Xiang left, Greid muttered to himself, looking very proud. "When I first opened this store, it seems that it took less than 200 gold coins. ”

In the center of the Huadu Trade Zone, there is a magnificent three-story building with a red exterior wall that stands out, which is the Huadu branch of the Blackwater Bank.

Blackwater Bank is the largest bank in the world, so big that even the king of a country would have something to ask for it. Blackwater Bank has many shareholders, and most of their identities are very secret, but one thing is certain, that is, the identity of the largest shareholder of Blackwater Bank - the wealthy Rivigas.

On the way to the trade zone, Colin asked puzzledly, "When did the rich man say that he was going to buy Danfeng Beauty Salon?"

"He didn't have that intention at all. Li Xiang said.

"Are we here to get him a loan?" asked Colin.

"Look behind you, don't be too obvious. ”

Colin turned his head slightly, not noticing anything unusual behind him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone was following us. ”

After leaving the Greidet Mansion, Li Xiang felt very uncomfortable in his back, as if someone was staring at him. After several confirmations, he guessed that Greid had sent someone to follow him and Colin.

Since this is the case, then act in full, so Li Xiang took Colin to Blackwater Bank, intending to ask to see the rich man Rivigas.

After entering the business hall of Blackwater Bank, Li Xiang went straight to the VIP room. The receptionist had never seen Li Xiang, but since the person who came was a Shino person, the receptionist naturally didn't dare to slack off, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, what can I do for Your Excellency?"

"I want to see Mr. Rivigaz, so I said that Li Xiang of Danfeng Beauty Salon asked to see him. ”

After a few moments, the receptionist trotted back and said respectfully, "Please inside, Mr. Rivigaz is waiting for you on the third floor." ”

When Li Xiang appeared at the door of Rivigaz's office, the rich man greeted him warmly, shook Li Xiang's hand and said, "I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, is Lord Li Xiang going back to Messiah City with me?"

Li Xiang smiled politely at the rich man and said, "You are so enthusiastic, I will definitely visit the Messiah when I have the opportunity in the future." I'm here today to bother, and I have another important business. ”

"Oh?"

"Last time I said goodbye, Mr. Rivigaz gave me a generous gift, and I didn't have time to thank you. I'm here today to return the favor. ”

Rivigaz glanced at Li Xiang suspiciously, he came empty-handed, what could he give? Besides, with Rivigaz's identity, it was too difficult to give him a gift, and it was difficult for ordinary objects to enter his eyes.

Li Xiang saw Rivigaz's doubts, smiled slightly, picked up a beautiful teacup on the table, and said, "This is my gift to you." ”

The teacup was one of a set of expensive tea sets, and it was indeed valuable, but it was something from Rivigaz, who had never seen such a gift. Just as he was puzzled, he noticed that the gold-glazed teacup had turned dark blue and shimmered. Rivigaz was well-informed, and he naturally understood that this teacup was enchanted. Li Xiang has a special ability, Rivigaz knows, just enchant a thing casually, so easy and freehand, it is really a bit sensational, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Rivigaz would never have believed such a thing.

Li Xiang picked up a bottle of chilled sour plum juice and poured it into the teacup, saying, "Although this sour plum juice is chilled, it is not enough. In the scorching summer, it is naturally cooler to cool off. With that, he handed the cup of sour plum juice to Rivigaz.

Rivigaz looked at the cup of sour plum juice in his hand in amazement, and after he started it, he felt like he was holding an ice cube, and a slight chill came out of the teacup, and a few ice chips were floating in the sour plum juice.

Some time ago, this enchanted tea set appeared on the black market. When Rivigaz was attending an upper-class gathering, he saw a set of these tea sets in a nobleman's house, but he didn't look very good. Even so, this tea set is quite sought after. The teacup that Li Xiang made for Rivigaz on the spot is not ordinary in itself, and Li Xiang deliberately made it the color of the cup an elegant sapphire blue - a typical royal color, and this cup is even more luxurious.

Rivigaz played with the cup with satisfaction, thinking that the next time he showed this gadget at a party, he would definitely make those fellows jealous of him.

"How can I get you to follow me back to the Messiah?" Rivigaz was so shrewd that he immediately understood what was going on. With such a talent in front of him, it's no wonder he doesn't win it over.

"Thank you for your kind invitation, but I still have some business to attend to in Huadu. Li Xiang politely refused. If you follow Rivigaz, the other party will definitely treat you politely, but if you don't have any foundation, you are just sending people under the fence, which is no different from staying in Gray's Danfeng beauty salon.

"You really should go to the Messiah, it's the best city in the world. Rivigaz said with regret. "Goblins don't like to owe favors, let's talk! What the hell is it?"

"It's a small thing for you. ”

Rivigaz said a little unkindly: "Loan? Rivigaz didn't believe that since Li Xiang could refuse his own wooing, he would open his mouth for money, so he made a joke with Li Xiang.

Li Xiang said: "Believe me, when I talk to the rich man about money, it must be a number that you will be surprised. Now, I just need a word from Your Excellency. Li Xiang did have the idea of borrowing money from Rivigaz, but when the other party said so, he could only pretend.

Rivigaz thought for a moment and said, "It seems that my words are worth more than money." But since it's a friend's request, of course I'm going to say yes. Favors are reciprocated, and I don't lose anything. ”

"In the future, Greid asked about the Danfeng Beauty Salon, and I hope Your Excellency will agree. ”

In the astonished eyes of many employees, the rich man Rivigaz, who easily disappeared, appeared in the lobby on the first floor of the Blackwater Bank, and had a warm conversation with a Shino person, looking like friends for many years. What's even more excessive is that as Rivigaz, he actually personally sent that Sino out of the door of Blackwater Bank!

In the hall, a person who had been sitting idle for a long time saw this scene and nodded thoughtfully, he could finally go back to the errand.
