‘Deng, Deng, Deng~’ A crisp sound of high-heeled shoes came from a distance and reached the ears of everyone who was chatting. Xiaoyu, wearing a bright red cheongsam, slowly walked towards the crowd holding a small jade bottle.
"I'm here to deliver medicine. I won't disturb your chat, right?"
Xiaoyu's noble and cool appearance, with a professional smile on her face, appeared in everyone's sight.
Ling Yunzhi knew at a glance that Xiaoyu was here to deliver the antidote for the Heart-broken Pill, and said apologetically, "Sister Xiaoyu is no longer needed, thank you."
Xiaoyu asked with a hint of confusion and regret, "Our boss learned that your friend was poisoned and sent a flying boat to get the medicine as soon as possible. Is it still too late?"
At this moment, a dog head was poked out of a big bag. "Poisoned? Who has been poisoned?"
When Xiaoyu saw Ergou, her expression was obviously stunned. The dog was not dead?
Yun Zhi then explained, "We were deceived. In fact, my third brother was not poisoned. I really bothered your boss. Please help me say thank you to her. I will remember this favor."
Xiaoyu nodded, and then smiled and said, "That's right, our boss has ordered that this antidote to the heart-breaking pill is given to you. Since I brought it, I won't take it back. Mr. Xiaozhi, please accept it."
Bar."
Looking at the elixir handed to him, Yun Zhi did not reach out to take it. He was about to refuse, but Li Tian took the elixir first.
"Don't give it up for free. People have said it's free. If you don't take it, you're not giving me face. Maybe you can use it in the future."
Yun Zhi immediately understood what Li Tian meant. If he dealt with people from Tian's group again in the future, the antidote to the heart-breaking pill might actually be useful. Who knows if they would poison him next time.
"You're welcome, Mr. Xiao Zhi." Xiaoyu chuckled, and then looked at Li Tian, "Is this Mr. Li Tian? Do you still remember Xiaoyu? I haven't seen you for some time. You have changed so much.
"
Li Tiangang put the antidote into his pocket, and was a little surprised when he saw Xiaoyu actually taking the initiative to talk to him. He laughed, "You are a great beauty. Of course I remember it. You have changed a lot this year."
Xiaoyu looked at herself and asked with a puzzled smile, "Have I changed a lot? Am I getting older? Or am I getting fat?"
Li Tian squinted his eyes and smiled, pointing to Cai Mingjue and the other two people on the side, "No, a year ago, Sister Xiaoyu, you would never look at me in the eyes, just like you don't look at them in the eyes now, but today you took the initiative to come looking for me."
I talked to you, isn’t this a big change?”
As soon as these words came out, Xiaoyu's expression suddenly froze. She didn't know whether Li Tian was deliberately mocking her or something.
Li Tian immediately waved his hand and said with a smile, "Hahaha, just a joke. Sister Xiaoyu, don't take it seriously."
At this time, Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Li Tian may have misunderstood Xiaoyu. At that time, it was probably because I had just become the manager and had a lot of things to deal with, so I didn't take your feelings into consideration. Xiaoyu will make amends to you today."
No."
Li Tian waved his hand again, "You're welcome, you're welcome. We are all our own people. Didn't you just give us medicine? Why are you being so polite now?" Then he took out the unfinished supper, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat together?"
Night snack?"
Xiaoyu really couldn't understand this Li Tian anymore and more. He was a little tense when he spoke just now, and now he is so polite again? But because he had worried about Qianqian's explanation and needed to ask some questions, he didn't have to find other excuses now.
.
"Okay, I happen to be a little hungry. I won't disturb you, right?"
As soon as Li Tian stepped forward, he pulled her to the seat next to her and sat down. He put the midnight snack into her hand, "I've already talked about myself, so there's nothing to disturb me. Just so I want to ask you some questions."
Xiaoyu said "???" Why did she feel like she was being tricked?
"If you have any questions, Mr. Li Tian, just ask, Xiaoyu will definitely tell you everything." But she could only bite the bullet and accept Li Tian's words.
Li Tian nodded with satisfaction and asked, "That's right. Does your Chou family have an illegitimate child named Chou Jiuyou? He is the one who was on the list of the Five Emperors of Tianhuang Academy."
Hearing this question, Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "It is true that Mr. Jiuyou returned home two years ago, but this is our boss's family matter, and I, a servant, can't say much.
, why don’t you, sir, change the question?”
Li Tian did not give up, and continued, "Of course I won't ask about family matters. That's right. Didn't the college announce today that there will be an exchange competition with Tianhuang College in three months? By then, you, Mr. Jiuyou Baobuqi, will compete with me."
My brother Yunzhi is here for a sparring match, so I asked out of curiosity. Sister Xiaoyu, just tell us what is convenient for you. If not, don’t tell us. Don’t worry! We are our own people and we won’t go out and talk nonsense.
"
Seeing that Li Tian was doing it because of the exchange competition and not to inquire about the secrets of the Chou family, Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. "So that's the case. Then I'll tell the young master some of the news I know. But in fact, I don't know much about it."
many."
"Mr. Jiuyou returned home about two years ago. He truly recognized his ancestors after his bloodline was verified. He is the bloodline left by our boss's eldest brother because of his fling, but because of his illegitimate status,
Therefore, it was not made public immediately, but as Young Master Jiuyou reached the age of cultivation and showed amazing talent in cultivation, he was recognized by everyone. Young Master Jiuyou is also the owner of Grade A qualification, just like Yun
Just like Mr. Zhi, he is not only extremely talented, but his appearance is not inferior to Mr. Yun Zhi, and he is deeply loved by thousands of girls."
"I have met him several times. He is not like other illegitimate children who suffer from low self-esteem and cowardice due to lack of love since childhood. Instead, he has an excellent personality, is talkative and humorous."
"He is like a gift specially given to the Chou family by God. As he entered the Five Emperors list of Tianhuang Academy, his status in the family has reached the sky. Even more so than the extremely talented Qian-year-old Young Master Chou, even among the members of the family.
Some of our elders no longer have the same say as him."
"I heard..."
Speaking of this, Xiaoyu couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then looked up in the direction of the counter. Seeing that no one was looking here, she continued, "I heard that Mr. Jiuyou worshiped a mysterious and powerful man as his disciple, and he knew how to do it."
A fighting skill that many families don’t have.”
"So, Young Master Jiuyou's true strength and foundation are unfathomable. The Five Emperors List may be just an illusion. There are rumors that his strength has even reached the level of the Three Emperors, far ahead of all his peers.
, Of course, this is all speculation, and that’s all I know.”
When Li Tian heard this, he couldn't help but look at Yun Zhi aside, and saw shock in his eyes, which meant that he was a little confused. At least for now, Yun Zhi was not confident enough to compare with the top three on the list.
Li Tian nodded, and by the way helped Cai Mingjue and Yuanji close their shocked mouths, and replied, "Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu, your news is very important to us."
Xiaoyu smiled and nodded. Most of what she said was actually news that had already spread. Especially in the end, those were just rumors. She didn't even know whether they were true or false. It didn't matter if she said it. Besides,
Chou Qianqian never participated in the factional fights in her family, and she would not blame her for what she said.
"Then after I have said so much, can I also ask you a question? Of course, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it. I'm just curious and asked."
Li Tian was not surprised at all. He also knew that Xiaoyu would not be able to sit here and have supper with them without having anything to do. After talking so much, he must have come with a purpose. It just so happened that he also wanted to see what Xiaoyu was thinking.
What are you asking? "Sister Xiaoyu, you're too polite. If you have anything, feel free to ask."
Xiaoyu put down the things in her hands, looked at Li Tiandian with a smile and said, "I'm just curious, who gave you the poison? Mr. Xiaozhi also seems to be injured. Are you in danger at night?"
Hearing this, Li Tian showed a surprised look, "Sister Xiaoyu, you are really good at joking. How is that possible? What dangers can there be in the academy? Xiaozhi was injured when he was training with those cultivating beasts in the academy.
The injury, as for the poison, cough cough..." Having said this, Li Tian slowly approached Xiaoyu's ear and whispered, "Actually, I wanted to eat dog meat, so I was the one who poisoned it, but Xiaozhi didn't.
Yes, so I brought it here to buy the antidote."
Naturally, Xiaoyu didn't believe such a nonsense reason, "But I heard that only a few forces can refine the Heart-broken Pill. Where did Mr. Li Tian buy it?"
Li Tian said angrily, "In the drugstore, the deceptive boss said it was a heart-breaking pill, but the product he bought was a laxative. I was deceived. Alas, I am still too honest. I will go and smash that drugstore!"
The corner of Xiaoyu's mouth couldn't help but twitch. If she believed that Li Tian was honest, then there was something wrong with her. It was hard for her to imagine that she was still a submissive kid a year ago, but now her whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only is she more confident, but her whole person
The temperament has changed.
"So that's what happened."
"I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to deal with. I am here, and you must have a lot to say that is inconvenient to say, so I won't disturb you. If you need any help in the Xiangzhan Pavilion in the future, you can come to me at any time.
, then I’ll leave first.”
After finishing all the questions, Xiaoyu showed no interest in continuing the conversation and was about to get up and leave.
Li Tian wondered, "Are you leaving now? Aren't you hungry? I see you only took two bites."
Xiaoyu shook her head and smiled and said, "I can't eat too much. For women, keeping in shape is very important. Goodbye, Mr. Xiaozhi."
After that, she stood up and left without looking back. As she left, the smile on her face instantly faded and her expression became cold.
She left the arena and came all the way to a room, reaching out and clasping it lightly.
"Come in." A slightly lazy voice came from the room.
Hearing this, Xiaoyu slowly opened the door and entered. In front of her in the dim room was Chou Qianqian, who was wearing a black cheongsam and leaning on the sofa with her back to her. She gently shook the high heels in her hands with her slender fingers.
The glass, the red wine in the glass, rippled back and forth with her movements.
"Say it."
Chou Qianqian seemed to have eyes on the back of her head, and she knew it was Xiaoyu who was coming without even looking back.
Although the Chou Qianqian in front of her had his back turned to her, Xiaoyu was still respectful.
"Boss, the medicine has been given to them and they accepted it, but Li Tian was very vigilant and didn't ask for any information."
Hearing this, Chou Qianqian didn't reply for a while, the goblet in her hand was still shaking slowly, while Xiaoyu stood there motionless, waiting for a reply.
After a while, Chou Qianqian slowly said again, "Go back. If Li Tian has any requests from now on, try your best to satisfy him."
Hearing this, Xiaoyu frowned slightly and opened her mouth, but quickly closed it again.
Chou Qianqian’s words came again: “Is there anything else you want to say?”
Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Boss, please forgive me for talking too much. That Li Tian is obviously just an ordinary person with no family background and no talent. Why do you treat him like this? He doesn't seem to meet our investment standards. If there is no Ling Yun,
Zhi, I’m afraid no one will notice him at all.”
Chou Qianqian did not answer her question directly, but with a smile on her lips, she slowly asked, "Xiaoyu, how long have you been with me?"
But such an ordinary question made Xiaoyu tremble. "Back to boss, it has been seven years. Xiaoyu will always remember your kindness in nurturing me, boss."
Chou Qianqian continued, "Oh, I've learned a lot from compliments. Xiaoyu, you have to know that stupid people only see the petty gains in front of them, but really smart people will take a long-term view. Then
Do you think I, your boss, am a stupid person or a smart person?"
Xiaoyu immediately replied without thinking, "Boss, of course you are a smart person. If you are not smart, then there will be no smart people in the world. Xiaoyu has learned a lesson. I will make arrangements for Li Tian."
Chou Qianqian sighed softly, slowly raised her hand on her lap and waved.
Xiaoyu understood the idea, slowly exited the room, and then closed the door. At this time, her palms were slightly numb. She was well aware of her boss's methods. She might have said a wrong word just now, and she was about to say goodbye to the position she had finally climbed to.
, I couldn't help but feel a little scared for what I said just now.
As the door closed, Chou Qianqian put down the wine glass in her hand and stretched out her hand to rub her eyebrows.
I don't know how long it took before she put down her hand again. She leaned on the sofa and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the dim ceiling in front of her. Her eyes were extremely sharp and sharp, and then the corners of her mouth slowly raised.
There was a hint of curvature in his mouth, and he murmured, "Old guys, you have really played a big game of chess, and you are not afraid of overstuffing yourself to death with your appetite, so let me play with you..."
