Chapter 3: Deals and Determination
Oh -
The female white-collar workers screamed in unison in the bottom of their hearts.
As soon as the handsome guy spoke, it was so fascinating that people couldn't help but throw themselves into his arms and send an unreserved kiss.
This voice is as clean and transparent as a breeze, as bright and soft as the moon, refreshing, natural and unpretentious, gushing out a kind of masculinity that can make women deeply obsessed.
Oh! This is the most beautiful spiritual sound in the world that my mother has ever heard!
His sentence was only seven simple and seemingly ordinary words. But it is these ordinary seven words, but they are like seven basic notes, playing a myriad, beautiful and moving melody.
The beauties who collectively fell into forgot that they were extremely disgusted with this voice a moment ago.
Tang Yao, who is also a woman, has guessed their thoughts.
With a sigh, she pulled Li Xiaochen straight to the deepest door.
The white-collar workers looked at Li Xiaochen intently and discussed in a low voice.
"That handsome guy is here to find Minister Mei?"
"I think it's eighty percent. Didn't you see Tang Yao lead him to the minister's room?"
"I'll just say it. To be able to have a relationship with such a powerful person as the minister, this handsome guy must not be simple. ”
"Are you sure he's not here to collect the minister's debts, and what if he takes the minister away later?"
"Don't worry. At that time, I will stand up and shout at the handsome guy: 'Beast, let go of Minister Mei!'If you have to kidnap you, people, people are willing to fall into your arms for the minister!'Oh, people are so shy~ Really, how can you accidentally say such a bold word~"
Vaguely hearing someone talking about himself behind his back, Li Xiaochen turned his head in wonder.
When all the white-collar workers saw him turn around, they knew that they couldn't miss the opportunity, and they all crowded into the middle aisle and rushed to his eyes.
"Look, look! he's looking at me!"
"You're looking at me, okay? You want to have no breasts, you want ass without ass, there's no bright spot at all. Why do people look at you?"
"Hmph, how are you going? It's all fakes. Fake breasts, fake butts, fake eyeballs, even teeth are fake!"
Li Xiaochen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw them fighting to show favor to him.
This unintentional smile triggered the wild shouts of female white-collar workers again.
"Have you seen enough?" Tang Yao grabbed Li Xiaochen's ears and pulled his gaze back, "Go in!"
Walking into the minister's room, Li Xiaochen saw Melzak again.
This room is furnished with a variety of cowboy-style figures and accessories from the American West.
Melzak, who bowed his head to review the documents, raised his head and saw that it was Li Xiaochen, so he squinted his eyes and smiled: "Cowboy, are you here to fulfill your promise to me?"
Li Xiaochen said lightly: "I came to you after I figured it out." ”
"Oh?" Melzak looked at Tang Yao beside her with a smile, and only after she withdrew from the room in a playful manner did she turn her gaze back to Li Xiaochen, "What have you done in the month since Jiang Mi'er left?"
Li Xiaochen said: "I'll chase her." At one point, it was almost time to catch up. But she probably wouldn't meet me, so she avoided me. ”
Melzak was slightly stunned: "The Jiang family and our film department can't track down the person, you can actually catch up? I'm interested in hearing it, how did you catch up with Jiang Mi'er?"
"Those two stand-ins you caught at the airport and docks are obviously the bait that Jiang Mi'er used to buy herself time to escape. After you used immortal magic to enter the inner body of the stand-in, the people of the Jiang family and some members of the shadow department all went south to track down. But Melzak, you are very smart, and guessed that this might be Jiang Mi'er's trick. ”
Melzak nodded. He couldn't deny that he did.
Li Xiaochen continued: "Jiang Mi'er may only leak to them that she is going south. Naturally, those two stand-ins don't know if it's true. So you guess she'll probably go the other way and head north. But I know Jiang Mier better. She always does things that many people don't expect. "Maybe she expected any of you to see through it. Therefore, she will not go north either. So where will she go? I'm just guessing based on her personality -- Jiang Mi'er will go around in a big circle and then return to Japan. If you want to go around in circles, it is possible to go southwest, northwest or due west. ”
"And then, in which direction did you chase you?" Melzak couldn't help but ask.
"Due West. I'm not sure exactly where she'll be heading to the west. But now it seems that my luck is good. Or maybe it's bad. caught Jiang Mi'er's whereabouts, but failed to meet her again. ”
Melzak groaned slightly, and said, "I'm afraid she's gone back to Japan now." The shadow department, which is only responsible for the Divine Immortal Cultivation Realm, can't do anything with her. Okay, that's all for now. What else do you have to say to me?"
"I'm going to be stronger. So I want to ask you Immortal Wheel Sect to teach me to cultivate immortals. Li Xiaochen stared at Melzak seriously.
"Good. Melzak took out a contract from the drawer and put it on the table, "As long as you sign this contract of agreement for the members of the Shadow Department, you will officially become a member of the Shadow Department." When the time comes, I will teach you to cultivate immortals. ”
Li Xiaochen didn't even read the content of the contract, took a pen and signed his name on it.
Seeing him so neat, Melzak was a little curious: "Don't you have to look at what is written in the contract? Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?"
"You are the head of the shadow department, what good will it do you to pit me, a person who has nothing?
Melzak didn't mind him talking to himself with such rude attitudes and sharp words.
He put the contract away and said, "You seem to have successfully built the foundation, right? Next is the fourth layer of the Taixuantian Qing Dao, the exorcism." You know, I'm a businessman. I won't do anything good if it's not good. ”
Li Xiaochen seemed to have expected him to say this. Throwing the box containing a million cash on the table, he said with a blank face, "There's a million in here." Is that enough to pay for your full set of tuition for that damn Taixuantian Qingdao?"
Melzak opened the box and pulled out a random stack of coins to count. Then he closed the box again.
"Just enough for me to call you the fourth layer of the exorcism. ”
"Don't go too far, Melzak!" Li Xiaochen glared at him.
"Buying the road with gold is indeed a very disciplined practice. However, you underestimated the value of the Immortal Wheel Sect's Taixuantian Qingdao. This set of Taixuantian Qingdao can only be learned completely in the Xianlun Sect. Of course, you can also learn from others, such as Qin Yufei. But you never learn the purest thing. ”
The implication of his words is: Taixuantian Qingdao is the only one, and there is no other branch. If it's too expensive, you don't want to learn.
After being silent for a long time, Li Xiaochen was patient and slowly released his clenched fist.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, layer by layer!"
Melzak once again smiled at the profiteer's victory.
However, Li Xiaochen did not feel that he was slaughtered.
On the surface, it looks like I've been trapped.
But in fact, he can seize every opportunity he can to learn as much as he can, so that the value of the money he has paid can increase.
Besides, there are some things that are too easy to get and will not be cherished. It's not a mistake to spend this money.
And causally speaking, there is never a advantage or loss.
The advantage taken will always be repaid to someone else in some way. suffered a loss, and one day will gain more.
The way of heaven is fair. People who think that God has no eyes are only superficial.
Take a long-term view and you'll see a wider truth.
Melzak sorted out some of the rules and regulations of the shadow department and handed them to Li Xiaochen: "These are the rules that members of the shadow department must follow. Take a good look at it when you go back. Now I'm going to take you somewhere. ”
Out of the office, Melzak said to Tang Yao, who was waiting outside, "There are still some documents to deal with inside." I'll leave it all to you. I guess it's a chance for you to do an apprenticeship. ”
"Yes, Minister go slowly. Tang Yao was so respectful to Melzak. This surprised Li Xiaochen.
He asked Tang Yao with a little surprise: "You are also here...... Ahem, I should ask, you're here to help Melzak?"
Without waiting for Tang Yao to speak, Melzak had already answered for her: "She is now the trainee secretary of the shadow department. At the end of the internship period, if she performs well, I will consider making her a full-fledged secretary to assist in the affairs of the film department. ”
"Why?" Li Xiaochen looked at Tang Yao puzzled.
She is a dignified eldest lady of the Tang Group, and she can completely rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. Why do you want to come here to work for Melzak?
Tang Yao replied with a smile: "I heard the minister say that you have joined the Shadow Department. He said that he would make you the head of the shadow department in the future. So I want to help you......"
Li Xiaochen was choked by her words.
Did Tang Yao join the Shadow Department in order to be able to be with him?
Before, she didn't like to play Warcraft and CS, but she still used various excuses to pull him to play with her. Just to be able to have a common topic with him. You can spend more time together.
Now, for the sake of Li Xiaochen, Tang Yao does not enjoy his wealth and wealth, and is willing to do things under the hands of others. It's also for this reason.
Li Xiaochen was moved, but he didn't know what to say to express his gratitude.
Returning to the world without Jiang Mi'er, Li Xiaochen suddenly found that there was a Tang Yao who was so infatuated with him waiting for him.
"Thank you......" Li Xiaochen only gave her two words, and followed Melzak out.
He didn't dare to look directly at Tang Yao's beautiful eyes. Since he said goodbye to Jiang Mi'er, his feelings have been like a flood beast to him, and he can't avoid it.
Li Xiaochen didn't know how to sort out these messy emotional matters. He was afraid that he would hurt Tang Yao, who was good to him wholeheartedly, in some details that he couldn't notice.
Maybe Jiang Mier was the first girl he fell in love with. But he has promised not to love Jiang Mi'er in exchange for the aid of the shadow department.
He will never forgive himself. This price did not make things go in the direction he expected, but only extorted a sum of money from Melzak.
Li Xiaochen hated his stupidity. He secretly swore in his heart that from now on, he would never make such an unforgivable mistake again.
The reason why he returned to Melzak's side was not only to fulfill his promise, but also to learn from Taixuantian Qingdao and Melzak's various treacherous cunning.
Li Xiaochen realized that he was too simple to be bullied before.
For kind people, it is natural to repay kindness. To those who are wicked, they must be treated in the same way as others.
He doesn't want to be a bad person, but he also doesn't want to be slaughtered by others.
Whether treacherous or scheming, he has to learn everything thoroughly.
It's not about how bad you have to become.
Just like a kitchen knife, it can be used to cut vegetables, but it can also be used to hurt people. If you use it well, it will be a blessing, and if you don't use it well, it will be a curse.
In the past month, Li Xiaochen has thought very clearly. If you don't have strong ability and strength, you are destined to be a mermaid and end up in a tragic end.
So he's going to really get stronger.
Powerful enough to be in this cage-like body, he can no longer hold back his desire to fly;
so powerful that no one can stop their will;
Strong enough that he can make heaven and earth exchange with each other, the sun and the moon go backwards, and in every move, landslides and tsunamis are made!
