Chapter Fifty-Eight: Yao Man
Xinling Pet Residence is located in the eastern district, with a total of two floors, adding up to two acres of land, if you walk along the Hongqiao, it will arrive in less than an hour.
Seeing the plaque of the Spirit Pet Residence from a distance, Lin Xi's heart began to tense inexplicably.
When there were still more than ten meters away from the door of the store, there were people constantly coming in and out of the Spirit Pet Residence, and there were many screams of girls in his ears, which made Lin Xi's face change, and he thought that he was in the wrong place.
As soon as I entered the store, I found that it was crowded with people, and the buyers were mainly women, and when I saw a fluffy, round, and cute pet with big eyes, no matter how rational a woman was, she would become crazy, and after the flood of love, spending money would be the same as running water.
These buyers don't know Gu art at all, and even many of them are mortals, and the spirit pets they buy have nothing but a good skin, and even many spirit pets are very timid, and they are scared when they see so many people.
Can such a spirit pet also be used against enemies?
Lin Xi sneered, and when the phrase "profiteer" was not yet exported, he swallowed it back, and he suddenly thought that he was also the owner of this shop, and he was immediately ashamed.
Zhao Guan is also a man with a head and a face now, and he has a separate room on the second floor, which is specially used to receive VIPs.
Lin Xi couldn't help but come to the second floor, but was stopped by a delicate and lovely maid and asked, "This guest, I don't know what type of pet you want to buy? ”
The maid was smiling, very polite, her appearance and temperament were excellent, if she didn't know that this was her own shop, Lin Xi would have thought that she had come to a very elegant big trading house.
"I'm looking for Zhao Guan. He said.
The maid was taken aback, "You are..."
"His friend. Lin Xi said, looking at the layout of the store by the way.
The second floor is much quieter than the first floor, there are not many guests, but at first glance, they are all people with heads and faces, and the prices of those spirit pets are terrifying, Lin Xi is very suspicious that he may not be able to sell one in a year.
The maid was not surprised by his answer, and said with a smile, "I'm going to see if the boss is there, please wait a moment, by the way, what do you call it?"
"Lin Xi. Lin Xi said casually.
The maid's feet were almost weak, and she hurriedly said, "It turns out to be the big boss! Come in, the boss is talking about you every day!"
Although she hadn't seen Lin Xi, Zhao Guan told her who Lin Xi was on the first day of work, and if she confessed her mistake again, it would be better to leave directly.
Zhao Guan's youth already surprised her, but she didn't expect this big boss behind the scenes to be younger than Zhao Guan, he is really a young talent!
Noticing the maid's gaze that was about to discharge, Lin Xi coughed lightly and said as he walked, "How is business lately?"
As soon as it came to business, the maid immediately became serious and said, "This month's business is much better than last month, the customer flow is getting bigger and bigger, many customers are introduced by old customers, all in all, Miss Yao's strategy is very successful." ”
"Miss Yao? Lin Xi asked casually, he didn't really care about business, and after walking to Zhao Guan's room, he planned to push the door in.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened by itself, and what appeared in front of Lin Xi was a beautiful woman, with a straight figure and a snow-white complexion, giving people a very capable feeling.
She looked at Lin Xi, although she was a little puzzled, she still nodded and smiled, looking very self-contained, and then looked at the maid behind her.
The maid hurriedly said, "Miss Yao, this is Boss Lin." "Very respectful.
Lin Xi looked at this woman with some surprise, and after hearing about his identity, the other party was also looking at him intently, without the slightest panic, and said politely, "It turned out to be Boss Lin, fortunately." ”
Lin Xi nodded and smiled, and before he could speak, a surprised voice came out of the room-
"Brother Lin, you're finally here!"
After Zhao Guan saw Lin Xi, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said to the maid, "Xiaobi, go make tea! Aman don't leave yet, you and Brother Lin haven't met yet!"
When the maid Xiaobi heard this, she hurriedly answered "yes", and trotted to prepare tea. As for that Aman, he lowered his head slightly and said, "The boss and Boss Lin haven't seen each other for a few months, so there should be a lot to say, so I won't bother." ”
After saying this, she turned around and left, Zhao Guan's face froze and she was greatly embarrassed.
Lin Xi was surprised, "Who is she?"
"You're asking Aman, she's the steward I recruited from elsewhere a few months ago, and she's very capable!" Zhao Guan said mysteriously.
Lin Xi closed the door, found a chair and sat down, and said suspiciously, "Aman, what is the relationship with you?"
Zhao Guan's old face turned red, and he hesitated for a long time before he whispered, "It's nothing, she is an employee I hired." ”
"No, there must be a situation!" Lin Xi stretched out a finger, shook it twice, and squinted at Zhao Guan.
Zhao Guan couldn't stand Lin Xi's gaze, snorted inaudibly, and said to himself, "Xiaobi, this girl, why is it so slow?"
At this moment, Xiaobi's voice came from outside the door, "Boss, the tea is ready!"
Zhao Guan was overjoyed: "Come in." ”
Xiaobi pushed the door in, carefully poured tea for the two, and withdrew.
Zhao Guan waved his hand, "Brother Lin, drink tea!"
He first picked up the teacup and sniffed it, revealing a very enjoyable look, and said, "This jade dragon immortal needle can nourish the spleen and stomach, and also has the effect of refreshing the mind, but it is rare to have a good tea, Brother Lin..."
As soon as he looked up, he saw that Lin Xi was still squinting at him, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, "What the hell do you want to ask!"
"What's your relationship with her?"
Zhao Guan almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, and loudly defended, "It doesn't matter!"
Lin Xi nodded, "I said I haven't seen you in the past two months, so it's okay." ”
Zhao Guan was shocked, "Brother Lin, when did I admit it! Aman's ability is very good, our Spirit Pet Residence is only with her, and the business is just..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, Lin Xi has little experience in business, let alone any interest, although good business is a good thing, but he is more concerned about Zhao Guan's lifelong affairs.
Zhao Guan is ten years older than him, and he is still in the realm of enlightenment, he will not make any progress in cultivation, if he can find the love of his beloved, Lin Xi is happy for him in his heart.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I won't stay in Nanling for too long. ”
"What, Brother Lin is going back to Youzhou!" Zhao Guan was taken aback.
Lin Xi nodded and said, "I came here this time to say goodbye to Brother Zhao, Lan Lian is dead, and my mission will be terminated, at my speed, it will take half a year to return to Youzhou, if it is late, I may miss a major event." ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help frowning, feeling a lot of regret in his heart, although he said that it was half a year, but in fact, when he returned to Mosan, I am afraid it would be a year later.
And now, there is less than a year left before the opening of the secret realm.
Zhao Guan was suddenly reluctant, now that the business has just started, he still thought that the two brothers would finally be able to clear the clouds and see the moon, but he didn't expect Lin Xi to leave!
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "You wait another month!"
Lin Xi raised his head, "What are you waiting for?"
"When I finish my marriage with Aman, you will leave!" One sentence exhausted all Zhao Guan's courage, and there was pleading in his eyes, "Okay?"
Lin Xi smiled, "Of course!"
"Sure enough, it's a good brother!"
Zhao Guan grinned, then sighed again, and said, "To be honest, if it weren't for the start of the business, I really wouldn't dare to climb into this family business, not to mention that the Oman family looks down on me, or I myself have a little inferiority." ”
Lin Xi was surprised: "Big family?"
"Well, Aman's family used to be a very famous Xiuzhen family in the city, but their family has not had a spirit vein for several generations, if it weren't for Aman's sister marrying a Tiandanmen disciple, the Yao family would have been annexed by other families long ago. ”
"Tiandanmen?"
"Aman's brother-in-law is a proud disciple of Ling Tiandao, the head of the Tiandan Sect, he went out on a mission half a year ago, and his whereabouts are unknown since then, and he doesn't know what happened, but he is already a master in the late stage of the Jindan Realm, so there should be no surprises. Zhao Guan said with a smile.
When Lin Xi heard this, his expression suddenly became a little weird, and he asked tentatively, "Jingwu?"
"Do you know him?" Hearing Lin Xi say this name, Zhao Guan was taken aback.
"He's dead. Lin Xi said.
"What!" Zhao Guan's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "What the hell is going on?"
"I can't talk to Brother Zhao about the specifics, but his death is what I saw with my own eyes, and there will be no fake. Lin Xi's eyes flashed slightly.
"I said that those bitches don't take the Yao family seriously more and more, I see!" Zhao Guan suddenly suddenly looked a little hateful.
Lin Xi glanced at him and said in surprise, "Does this matter affect you?"
Zhao Guan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It's a little." ”
"Then while I'm still here, settle this matter as soon as possible, in case I'm gone, you can't handle it alone. Lin Xi said.
"But the other party is a disciple of the Tiandan Sect..."
"There's no need to worry about Brother Zhao, it just so happens that I also have something to find Ling Tian, so let's deal with it together." Lin Xi said calmly.
Zhao Guan was taken aback, "Could it be that Brother Lin has a friendship with Ling Tian Dao Chief?"
"Sort of. Lin Xi's eyes flashed slightly.
Zhao Guan was immediately overjoyed and said, "If I had known that this was the case, I wouldn't have to worry so much about this matter in the past few months, Brother Lin waited for a while, and I will go and call Aman to come over!" After saying this, he strode out.
Seeing his anxious appearance, Lin Xi couldn't help but smile, and not long after, Zhao Guan walked into the room with Yao Man with a surprised look on his face, and told her about Jingwu from the beginning.
After Lin Xi's confirmation, the woman was a little dazed at first, but she quickly calmed down, bowed to Lin Xi, and said respectfully, "Thank you Boss Lin for informing me, otherwise, the little woman really didn't know that something like this happened to her brother-in-law." ”
She looked quite calm, as if she had expected this result for a long time.
"It's just a matter of effort. ”
Lin Xi said, "I heard Brother Zhao say that the Yao family is in some trouble, if Miss Yao can trust it, you might as well take me over to have a look." ”
Yao Man was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately glanced at Zhao Guan, who smiled slightly, lowered his head and said something in her ear.
The woman's body trembled slightly, as if she had suddenly found the backbone of the heart, and she looked surprised, and said, "If Boss Lin can help our Yao family through this crisis, the little woman is grateful, if there is anything needed in the future, I will definitely die!"
Lin Xi smiled slightly and said, "Miss Yao is polite, as long as you and Brother Zhao respect each other and grow old together, there will be more trouble in the future, and I will not stand idly by." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Guan was immediately moved, and then looked at this woman with a look of hope on his face.
Yao Man's face turned red, glanced at Zhao Guan, and nodded slightly.
"Great!Aman, you really agreed!" Zhao Guan was so excited that he held the woman's hands tightly, eager to take her into his arms on the spot.
Yao Man hurriedly shook his hand away, his face was full of shame, and he said angrily: "What is the boss doing!"
Zhao Guan smirked twice, but he couldn't speak, and looked at this woman with straight eyes, as if his soul had been hooked.
When Lin Xi saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile, got up and said, "Little brother will bless the two of you in advance! However, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go to Miss Yao's house to have a look." ”
"Okay, my house is not far from the store, so let's trouble Boss Lin to go." When Yao Man heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he agreed.
While talking, the three of them went downstairs all the way, and after handing over the affairs of the store to the maid Xiaobi, they walked towards Yao's house.
"This matter is a bit troublesome to say, but if Boss Lin can talk to Ling Tian's master, it will be much easier! Since my brother-in-law disappeared, an inner disciple of Tiandanmen has come to my house every once in a while, saying that he is helping my brother-in-law take care of my sister, but in fact, he has not taken a fancy to my sister's appearance! At that time, we felt that my brother-in-law had an accident, otherwise, with my brother-in-law's identity in Tiandanmen, how could anyone dare to bully my sister like this!"
On the way, as soon as Yao Man talked about his family, his eyes were full of tears, and he was obviously very wronged.
"Ling Tian doesn't know about this?" Lin Xi said in surprise.
"I don't know about this, but Ling Tian's predecessor shouldn't know, he values my brother-in-law very much, although people are cold and cold, but people can be ruthless, he probably won't be indifferent to my sister's suffering. However, my father had been to the Tiandanmen, and he originally planned to ask Ling Tian's senior about his brother-in-law, but he was stopped by several disciples and severely injured him, and now his life is in danger. ”
When Yao Man said this, he couldn't cry anymore.
