Chen Si angrily slammed the door and left, and Zhang Xiaolong's face also darkened.
Li Qinbin asked worriedly: "Landlord, if you make your position clear to Chen Si, aren't you afraid that he will take advantage of you?"
"There are many people who want to attack me, and I don't care if there is another Chen Si." Zhang Xiaolong responded casually, "Now Liu Xiaodong doesn't dare to attack me, and neither does Chen Si. Everything will be revealed when the rally starts.
.”
Li Qinbin nodded and said nothing more. He knew that Zhang Xiaolong had his own ideas. Only with absolute self-confidence could he dare to speak like this to a powerful leader.
He took out one pair of the two pairs of emerald green bracelets he bought yesterday, handed them to Zhang Xiaolong and said: "Landlord, I will give you one of these two pairs of bracelets. Don't refuse. I know you have many women. This thing is worn by women."
, it’s up to you who you want to give it to.”
"I have so many women, two are not enough." Zhang Xiaolong looked at him seriously.
"Haha, when you say that, it makes me look stingy." Li Qinbin smiled and said, "Okay, you can also take this pair. It's useless for me to hold it anyway. My wife's hands are all covered with it and it's overloaded.
, I don’t think she likes this thing very much either.”
"Come on, she won't like something worth hundreds of thousands." Zhang Xiaolong laughed at himself, "Take it back, I won't want it. Besides, I want you to buy something to please a woman. What does that mean? I know you are rich.
, but I’m not short of money either, so I have to buy it myself.”
"I know you are noble. You don't regard me as a friend." Li Qinbin put the bracelet back into the wooden box without any further force.
The two of them chatted until late that night, and no one came to disturb them... until their eyes were tired, they went back to their room to sleep.
When Zhang Xiaolong got up the next day, there was a wooden box and a note on the table in the hall. Li Qinbin left, but he kept two pairs of green bracelets. When Zhang Xiaolong opened the door, he saw that the BMW x6 in the courtyard was also gone.
"What does this guy mean, are you still playing with me like this?" Zhang Xiaolong was a little dissatisfied and took out his cell phone to call Li Qinbin, but when he pulled out the number, he hesitated.
"Damn, that's not kind. How can I go back if I drive away alone?" Zhang Xiaolong shook his head helplessly, returned to the house and started to wash up and tidy up, and he was ready to go back.
Two pairs of emerald green bracelets are worth 1.5 million, which is close to 400,000 each on average. Such a large sum of money is a huge fortune even in the jewelry industry. Zhang Xiaolong is disrespectful, but he deserves it. The so-called no reward for no merit, Li Qinbin
This is not the way to make him a friend.
Now that Mu Cui is in hand, Zhang Xiaolong has an extra trump card and an extra fortune. If he gets Zi Cui from Wang Shile again, he will be like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate and soar into the sky. However, no matter how much wealth he has, if he doesn't have the ability,
I can't keep it either.
Zhang Xiaolong deliberately wanted to return the two pairs of emerald green bracelets to Li Qinbin, but he was afraid of losing Li Qinbin's face. This matter was indeed a bit difficult to handle. Taking people's money to relieve others' disasters is an eternal truth. Zhang Xiaolong understood that he wanted to
If he really accepted these two pairs of emerald green bracelets, he would definitely repay Li Qinbin a favor in the future. For now, he couldn't think of any good solution, so he had to put them away. He put the wooden box into his travel bag, picked up his clothes, and
Carrying the bag, I left the small bungalow.
The small bungalow belonged to an old friend of Li Qinbin and was not suitable for long-term stay. Zhang Xiaolong locked the gate of the walled courtyard and came to the road. He turned around and looked around, then walked along the road towards Guangde Town without looking back.
"It's past ten o'clock, and those powerful people must have left Guangde Town." Zhang Xiaolong thought as he walked. Yuguang Villa Community is three or four miles away from the town. Occasionally, one or two households can be seen on both sides of the road.
He was admiring these older buildings and pastoral scenery along the way, and sometimes looking at the mountains in the distance. He felt cheerful and comfortable. Zhang Xiaolong had not felt this close to nature for a long time since he came out of the Holy Mountain in Northeast China.
The bus station is at the entrance of the ancient town. There is only one main road to Shangri-La County. Li Qinbin drove away alone. Zhang Xiaolong had to take a bus back to Dali. However, when he came to the ancient town, he was not in a hurry to leave. He first found a noodle restaurant for breakfast.
, and then walked around the street with his bag on his back. Finally, he stood in front of the door of Demei Yufang and stood for a while looking at the door number. After much hesitation, he did not knock on the door and walked straight out of the street.
"Beauty, is there a bus to Dali? I want it now." When he came to the ticket window, Zhang Xiaolong took out a red ticket and asked the conductor inside.
The young conductor raised his head and glanced at Zhang Xiaolong. Seeing that he was well-dressed and distinguished, he couldn't help showing a smile and said: "Sir, this is your first time coming to Guangde Town. There is no bus from here to Dali. You want to go to Dali."
You can take the bus to Shangri-La County first and then transfer to another bus, or you can also charter a bus to the airport and take a flight to Dali."
"There is no bus to Dali at such a big station. Yesterday I clearly saw a large long-distance bus with Dali Guangde Town written on it. Why is there no bus if I want to take it?" Zhang Xiaolong looked around and pretended to be confused.
The ticket sales lady smiled and said: "Sir, you may have read it wrong. There is indeed no bus from Guangde Town to Dali. What you are looking at may be the special buses of those travel agencies. If you want to take the bus, you can go outside and ask those travel agencies.
.”
"Thank you."
Zhang Xiaolong didn't ask any more questions, stepped aside and gave up his seat to others. Then he exited the ticket hall.
He was used to driving, but he suddenly had to take a bus back. He felt it was too much trouble. With nearly 800 kilometers, taking a bus would take at least ten or twenty hours. Zhang Xiaolong couldn't afford it. Now, time is an opportunity for him.
He can use this time to seek various opportunities to broaden his horizons.
Zhang Xiaolong came outside the station and saw some taxi vans lined up on the roadside. He walked over. He talked to the driver and said he was going to Shangri-La Airport. He asked about the price. The driver looked him up and down and saw that he was an outsider and dressed elegantly.
I came out of the ticket hall again. I must have been in a hurry, so I thought about it and called him a high price of 800.
Zhang Xiaolong is not a fool. He naturally understands that a journey of more than 100 kilometers does not require so much money. After all, it is just a van. Eight hundred yuan is enough to cover a round trip. Zhang Xiaolong pondered for a while, looked at the middle-aged driver wearing simple clothes, and thought
He thought, there was no counter-offer, and now he was not short of the money. He was about to say that he had paid the money in advance and got on the bus, when someone lightly touched his shoulder.
Zhang Xiaolong turned around in surprise and found Jiang Lan standing behind him silently like a ghost. She was looking at him with a smile.
"Landlord Zhang, are you leaving?" Jiang Lan looked at him calmly and asked.
"Jiang Lan, it's you." Zhang Xiaolong was a little surprised, "Yes, I'm planning to go back to Dali, but I haven't bought a ticket. I'm planning to charter a car to the airport. What about you? Where are you going?"
Jiang Lan was wearing an orange skirt and carrying a small basket. She was like the girl from Alishan, with big eyes and long eyelashes. She said calmly: "I went to the mountain to collect some herbs, and I saw you when I passed by the station.
I wanted to talk to you about something, so I came over."
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Zhang Xiaolong asked.
Jiang Lan nodded, "Just for a while, can you leave later?"
…
Before Zhang Xiaolong could leave, Jiang Lan led him to Demei Yufang. As soon as he entered, Jiang Lan closed the door. She did not let Zhang Xiaolong sit in the hall, but led him all the way to the small courtyard at the back. The courtyard
In the middle, there is a stone table and two chairs placed under the ancient locust tree, which are very clean. To the east and west are two small tile-roofed houses.
"What are you looking at? Sit down!" Zhang Xiaolong looked around, and Jiang Lan reminded him with a smile. When Zhang Xiaolong nodded and sat down, she went back to the room and brought out a tea set after a while.
"Yunwu tea, my father's favorite drink when he was alive, you came at the right time, that's all that's left." Jiang Lan set up the tea set and made tea while talking to Zhang Xiaolong. Her voice was soft and pleasant, and her expression was calm and dignified.
Yashu, Zhang Xiaolong looked at her slender and white jade hands in trance.
Jiang Lan gave him a different feeling. The women Zhang Xiaolong knew before were all delicate, but Jiang Lan embodies a kind of beauty close to nature, solemn and decent, elegant and generous, and looks very elegant in all aspects.
Fascinating, this is something he can't see in the delicate women in the city.
"Why are you always looking at me? Why don't you say anything?" Jiang Lan made tea and sat down. Facing Zhang Xiaolong's confused eyes, she did not avoid it, but showed a faint smile.
"Oh, I was fascinated by the aroma of tea. It's such a good tea." Zhang Xiaolong was a little embarrassed when she stared at her pure eyes. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Lushan Yunwu Tea, brand, I didn't expect Shangri-La also produces it, Uncle De
I like to drink, and I like it very much.”
"I didn't expect you to have a lot of knowledge about tea. Yunwu tea is indeed a specialty of Lushan Mountain. At first, my father asked a friend to bring it back from there. Later, he went to the mountain to collect herbs and discovered this kind of tea on Maofeng. He dried it
It is no less than the Yunwu tea in Lushan Mountain, but there are only a few tea trees of this kind on Maofeng, and they grow in the clouds all year round, so the yield is small. Dad has to pick it once a year. Now that he has passed away, this kind of tea will not be available in the future.
It will never happen again." Jiang Lan said calmly.
Zhang Xiaolong saw the hidden pain in her eyebrows, so he changed the subject and said: "I can't say anything about tea. I only read books on this topic occasionally and have a superficial understanding. By the way, you are not
Do you have something to talk to me about? What is it?"
"The matter of Mu Cui." Jiang Lan still looked at him calmly, as if nothing could make her angry, "Landlord, I know Mu Cui is in your hands."
"Really? How can you be so sure?" Zhang Xiaolong did not refute, because he found that Jiang Lan's pure eyes were full of wisdom. They seemed to be able to speak, and one glance could penetrate people's hearts. Even Zhang Xiaolong's heart was so determined.
, he was also a little confused when she stared at him. He didn't understand why Jiang Lan guessed that Mu Cui was taken away by him.
"I'm not sure, but I'm 70% sure that the Mother Cui is in your hands, Zhang Xiaolong." Jiang Lan lowered her head and thought deeply, took a sip of tea, and said, "I went to Kunming the day before yesterday.
