As the saying goes, bad luck doesn't come when you're ready.

Time passed in a hurry, and it was almost February, not far from the traditional Chinese festival called the Spring Festival, in fact, Xie Jun had no expectations for the Spring Festival, and even had a trace of rejection in his heart, because the Spring Festival meant that he would be alone to watch others reunite.

The company's work has almost come to a standstill, everyone is busy arranging holidays, where is there still a heart to work, and some people have asked for leave to go back to their hometown for the New Year because of the Spring Festival. Xie Jun had a very dull time during this time, when he went to work, he looked at the materials to learn some things, or secretly read the books he liked to read, and after work, he practiced the pure heart and kung fu, and occasionally went out to socialize at public expense, although he didn't like it, he had to do it as a job, but he didn't drink if he couldn't drink, and he drank less if he could.

Today it was finally cloudy, the sky was overcast, the dry air was floating with fine dust, and the whole sky was a little gray, which made people feel excited.

Xie Jun also came to work today with two dark circles under his eyes, of course, it was not caused by going out to indulge last night, but last night the two gangsters in the village opened a film, and finally the siren ambulance or something made a fuss in the middle of the night, so noisy that Xie Jun hardly slept much, and almost sat in the station when he took the car in the morning.

There are only four of the eight people in the office left, including Xie Jun and Lu Qizhong, Amy and Bella, all three of whom are from Pengcheng, and they don't have to fight the Spring Festival War every year.

However, when he is idle, Xie Jun will also think that there will be no fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year, he will not go home in a different place during the New Year, he will not issue New Year's money during the New Year, and he will not post Spring Festival couplets during the New Year...... After these ancient customs and habits have been registered as their folk customs by the invincible sticks of the universe, I don't know why Huaxia is still Huaxia?

Xie Jun, who was thinking about it and was groggy, was awakened by the phone on the table: "Hey, I'm Xie Jun, oh...... Got it, go now. ”

"Head, I'll go to the general manager's office. Xie Jun reported loudly to Lu Qizhong, causing two female colleagues to also look at him with different colors.

"Oh, got it, go ahead. Lu Qizhong was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on a smile, stuck his head out from behind the computer, and waved his hand to approve Xie Jun's request.

The beautiful little secretary of the general manager's office didn't give Xie Jun a face this time, and brought Xie Jun into Xu Xiaoyan's office with a businesslike posture.

The bright lights in the office were on, which was in strong contrast with the gloomy sky outside the window, and Xu Xiaoyan had a charming smile on Xie Jun's face as soon as he came in, which made Xie Jun feel a little flattered, but Xu Xiaoyan's smile seemed to have a little other flavor in it, yes...... Is it guilt?

Xie Jun had a bad premonition in his heart, and the smile on his face stiffened a little.

Xu Xiaoyan took Xie Jun to the sofa and sat down, and he was also generous on the sofa opposite, and asked with a smile in his eyes:

"Drink something?"

Xie Jun was stunned for a moment: "Oh, tea, just give me a cup of tea." ”

"Kaley, please have two cups of black tea, mine wants a slice of lemon, thank you. ”

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

Xu Xiaoyan was talking out of tune, and Xie Jun also replied casually without a word, until Kaley put two crystal teacups filled with beautiful black tea in front of the two of them, withdrew and closed the door.

Xu Xiaoyan took a sip of the teacup under Xie Jun's somewhat uneasy gaze, his eyes drooped, as if he was thinking about how to speak, and the room was quiet, only the small hum from the air conditioner ventilator.

"Xie Jun, that root carving...... I've got someone to see it. ”

"Oh?

"There is indeed a problem, my grandfather Zhang knows a master of the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain, Ganxi, he happened to be in Pengcheng, and I went with my grandfather to show him the root carving. He said that it was a man-made object, and they called it a 'magic weapon' in their jargon, as you speculated, the magic weapon is generally made by people in Qimen, used to bring prosperity or cancel out the aura of some people, of course, the aura they say may not be the same as what you say, but the meaning is similar. ”

Xie Jun was silent, on the one hand, he was thinking about the news about the 'magic weapon', on the other hand, he knew that the point of what Xu Xiaoyan wanted to say was not this.

Xu Xiaoyan raised his eyes and looked at Xie Jun with an expressionless face, this young man was indeed calm, just from this aspect, he was a person with great potential.

"Actually...... Give me the ...... of the root carving It's mine...... Cousin, dear. ”

Xie Jun chuckled in his heart, cousin? Is this a grudge from a wealthy family? Does his cousin want to see each other in life and death? No, no, his purpose may just be to ask his cousin to give up the management of his hand due to physical reasons, so ......

No, in this case, wouldn't it be a matter of discovering the root carving yourself......

"What do you mean......, dear? They know that I found something wrong with the root carving? I got into trouble with one of your relatives, and ...... The strange man behind them, are you trying to tell me these things?"

Xie Jun suppressed the anger in his heart, he was kind, but in exchange for such a result, it was really chilling, but...... When Xu Xiaoyan promised herself to keep this matter secret, did she already know that her identity would be exposed? In this case, this woman ...... There is also Uncle Xu, who accompanied Xu Xiaoyan to find Master Zhang, that is to say, he also knows the ins and outs of the whole thing and the consequences it will cause to him, so ......

Xie Jun lowered his head to hide his indignation, his heart was cold, for a long time, Xie Jun raised his head and looked at Xu Xiaoyan who was full of guilt, and moved his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that...... I didn't expect my cousin, who has been taking good care of me since I was a child, to ...... I always thought he didn't know what the root carving did......"

Xie Jun ignored Xu Xiaoyan's messy explanation, took a deep breath, and suddenly laughed. What kind of anger are you angry with? The Xu family has nothing to do with themselves, and they naturally don't have to think about themselves as a stranger, since they don't have the intention of rushing to slap them, why bother thinking that others have turned their backs on you.

To put it bluntly, Xie Jun and the Xu family really have nothing to do with it, and the friendship with Uncle Xu is just an ordinary exchange that does not involve interests, once the interests of the Xu family are endangered, the Xu family naturally wants to protect the interests of their relatives, and he is such an unrelated person, naturally not in their consideration, not to mention that this matter is really taken his own initiative, and the Xu family did not invite you to come forward.

Xie Jun thought of this, the grievances in his heart had disappeared, except for being a little ashamed of his own affairs, he had no other thoughts, the only thing he was worried about was that the 'cousin' who was ruined by himself and the Qimen master behind him would not retaliate against him, if he really couldn't leave the city, anyway, he was alone and had nothing to worry about, and it was not the same life wherever he went, but it was a pity that he had a free lunch.

"Oh...... I understand that Mr. Xu means ......"

Xu Xiaoyan pursed his lips a little dejectedly, his always sharp tongue didn't know what was wrong today, he couldn't even say a word clearly, looking at Xie Jun, whose eyes had returned to clarity, Xu Xiaoyan hoped that he would be angry at him.

Xu Xiaoyan couldn't face Xie Jun's calm eyes, she felt that she was very sorry.

"I ...... What about it...... You don't have to worry too much, my cousin and uncle have been taught a lesson by grandpa, they shouldn't trouble you, and what about me, what about it...... What about it...... Qimen Warlock...... Grandpa asked that Master Zhang from Longhu Mountain to come forward and want to make peace with you, you ...... You know...... Actually, he didn't have any grudges against me, just asking for money, and this matter was very important to me, and it was just a commission for him, so ......"

Xie Jun put away his relaxation and looked at Xu Xiaoyan with a solemn face.

"I see. You mean that your cousin Uncle Xu and you can suppress it, what about that Qimen Warlock, you don't want to make enemies with him, so you invited Master Zhang to make peace, of course, if you can, you can also solve the contradiction between me and him, is that what you mean?"

Xie Jun's words were only half said, and the facts were already obvious, that Qimen Warlock was indeed just a businessman who took orders, this was the Xu family's family matter, and people didn't care if you wanted to kill people or kill people, let alone whether you were dealing with your own relatives. For such a strange person in the world, the attitude of the Xu family is that they can't make enemies, they should try their best to make friends, even if they won't use it to harm people in the future, they can also be used to prevent others from harming themselves. Similarly, if there is a choice between offending that Qimen Warlock and offending Xie Jun, the Xu family will give up Xie Jun without hesitation, but even if Xie Jun knows this meaning, people don't say it, and if you say this, it is tantamount to tearing your face, not to mention that it is just Xie Jun's speculation, maybe under the mediation of Master Zhang, everyone can eliminate all misunderstandings!

Xu Xiaoyan looked down at the bright black tea that was already a little cold in her hand, as if there was something strange there that attracted her, and she didn't look up when she heard Xie Jun's words, but said softly: "Yes...... That's what it means, grandpa made an appointment with Master Zhang and that person to meet tomorrow, you ...... Let's go and see if we can get rid of ......."

The voice became smaller and smaller, until he couldn't hear it at all, Xu Xiaoyan's words said that he was weak, and it was impossible to relieve Xie Jun's worries, not to mention, these worries were actually caused by her, but he was ......

Xie Jun exhaled, trying to exhale all the breath blocked in his chest, adjusted his somewhat chaotic thoughts, gently picked up the crystal teacup, and drank the tea that had been cold, which seemed to have no taste.

The air conditioner fan was still buzzing, the sky outside the window was still so gloomy, and the two young men and women in the room were thinking about their own thoughts, and the same brows were tightly knit and at a loss.
