"Eldest niece, you don't know where your father's office is. Let me take you there!" Ma Qiang came over and said to me.
Lu Xiaohong and I looked at each other.
Even if I don't know which room my father's office is, Lu Xiaohong knows it.
Ma Qiang knew this, but he offered to send us to Dad's office. He didn't know what medicine was being sold in the gourd.
It would be better to use this moment to let Coffin Xiaoen use his mind-reading skills to see if Ma Qiang is what his father said, and he has been bribed by Zhou Ying a long time ago.
I glanced at Coffin Xiaoen, and the little guy blinked at me intelligently.
Looking back and seeing Ma Qiang's smiling face, I nodded and said, "Thank you so much, Venerable Ma."
"Your dad's office is on the second floor. You don't have to wait for the elevator. We can just take the stairs." Ma Qiang said and walked towards the stairs.
There was an elevator on one side of the stairs. I glanced at the number on the indicator light, which was the twenty-first floor.
The Chief Celestial Master's office is on the top floor.
Once on the second floor, there is a long corridor. There are glass windows on one side of the corridor. Standing by the window, you can see the situation in the square clearly.
On both sides of the stairs on the other side of the corridor, there is a row of stainless steel metal doors. There is a wide window at a height of 1.5 meters between each door. The silver blinds are pulled tightly, so you can't see inside at all.
The corridor on the left side of the stairs looks relatively short. At the end is a silver metal double door. The door is closed tightly, but judging from the scale of this building, the space inside that door must be very large.
At a rough look, there should be about ten offices on the right. Looking at the gaps between the doors and windows, each office should be about the same size.#@$&
"Niece, your father's office is in the third room over here!" Ma Qiang said as he led us to the right.
Walking to the door, Ma Qiang smiled awkwardly at Lu Xiaohong and said, "Xiaohong, do you have the key to your father-in-law's office?"
There is no keyhole or handle on the silver metal door.
Before Lu Xiaohong could answer, Ma Qiang pointed to the silver double-open metal door at the end of the left and said to me: "Eldest niece, that's the party hall over there. The farewell ceremony of Elder Lin and Elder Bu will be held later.
Held inside that."
I looked back, smiled politely, and nodded.%&(&
While Ma Qiang was talking to me, Lu Xiaohong took out a silver metal square sign from his body and stuck it on the metal door.
The door opened, and the door leaf slowly retracted into the wall between the door and the window, soundlessly.
The office is very tidy, with a whole wall of mahogany and glass-enclosed bookcases, inside which are neatly stacked stacks of documents.
A huge mahogany desk is placed in front of the bookcase. There is nothing on the table except a row of pen holders with a few brushes hanging on them and an inkstone filled with dried cinnabar next to the pen holder.
Behind the desk is a high-backed mahogany Chinese-style chair, with some shiny patina on the armrests.
On the right side of the door is a set of tea cabinets. The indicator lights of the tea bar machine and coffee machine are still on. Maybe my father forgot to turn them off before leaving yesterday.
Facing the desk is a set of mahogany spring and autumn chairs and a coffee table. On the coffee table is a set of simple tea sets.
After Ma Qiang entered, he took out a few cups from the tea cabinet as if he had entered his own office, made two cups of coffee with the coffee machine, took one cup for himself, and handed another cup to me and said: "Your father's favorite
I will enjoy it. The coffee beans in his office are always the best. Let’s try it and see how it goes.”
I did not take the cup Ma Qiang handed me, but smiled and said, "Master Ma, I don't drink coffee. If you have anything to say, just say it directly!"
He found such a lame excuse to follow us up here, but he still hasn't gotten to the point. I felt so panicked for him.
Coffin Xiaoen also raised his shining eyes and stared at Ma Qiang's face.
"Ahem!" Ma Qiang smiled awkwardly, said nothing, picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.
As soon as he took a sip of coffee, Ma Qiang was slightly startled. He spat the coffee in his mouth back into the cup with a "bah" sound, and put both cups of coffee back on the tea cabinet.
"My father just came to Kyoto yesterday, so he probably didn't have time to buy new coffee."
I said as I took a glass of water from the tea bar machine and handed it to Ma Qiang.
Ma Qiang took the cup I handed him and said hesitantly: "Well, eldest niece, I actually want to ask you, your father..."
"Since you want to ask me something, why don't you just ask me directly?"
Dad's voice came from outside the corridor, interrupting Ma Qiang's mid-sentence.
"Hey, Lao Xiao, why are you down here? Is the farewell party about to start?" Ma Qiang turned around, raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, and looked back at the door with an embarrassed face.
At some point, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Ma Qiang's forehead.
"I'm going back to the office to get some stuff!"
Dad walked to the door, looked at Ma Qiang sharply and said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask me directly later. I still have a few words to say to my daughter and Xiaohong."
I immediately issued an eviction order to Ma Qiang.
"Okay, you guys talk first, I have to go back to the office and change some clothes." Ma Qiang walked out the door with a sneer.
Dad stood at the door expressionlessly watching him leave.
It wasn't until Ma Qiang's footsteps disappeared in the elevator that his father raised his hand and pressed lightly on a place behind the door. The silver metal door slowly slid out of the wall and closed.
"Grandpa Master, that Venerable Ma doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. He just wants to ask Godmother why your cultivation level suddenly increased so quickly after being injured. Moreover, he seems to be very worried about you."
After the door closed, Coffin Xiao En said to her father crisply.
Coffin Xiaoen's words stunned his father, but he quickly shook his head, walked to the desk and said, "Don't worry about Master Ma for now."
As he spoke, Dad opened a drawer in his desk and pulled out a piece of white paper and a 2B pencil.
Dad spread the white paper on the table, took the pencil and started drawing on the paper.
"Dad, is Zhou Ying looking for you about the things you brought out from Huaxu Realm?" I asked my father with some worry.
"Yeah. I told you that I was sick before, so I didn't bring anything with me. I hid it at home." Dad replied while drawing quickly on the paper.
"Will he do anything to you?" I asked again.
"Don't worry about me. Those things are very important to him. He won't dare to deal with me before he gets them."
Dad answered, stopped writing, thought for a while, and then started drawing on the paper again.
On the white paper, Dad has drawn a rough outline of an old man.
"By the way, after you and Xiaohong find the file of the guardian spirit, go find his shrine immediately. Don't come back here again. Go rescue your fourth uncle and grandma as soon as possible. Be careful. I will find a way to follow you as soon as possible.
