The first thousand four hundred and forty-five chapters
Chapter 1445 Game within game
Xiao Wen was still at war with heaven and man in his heart, but at the same time, the voice of the female shopkeeper urging her to close came from the shop behind her.
"Pony, please put away all the rouge and gouache outside the store. The cook has prepared some good dishes. After cleaning up, come to the back room to eat."
"Hey! Okay!"
The waiter who was called Pony listened to the order and was about to walk out the door. Xiao Wen hurriedly hid deeper.
He quietly poked his head out to observe the other person's movements, only to find that not long after the guy named Xiao Ma had just cleared the stall, a young man who looked a little unserious walked towards him.
"Hey, Brother Ma, why are you still working so late?"
"Um?
Lao Qiu?
Is your family finished?
There are no new products in our house recently, so we are so busy every day."
"Hey, I see that you are exhausted from your work, so you are just going to be lazy today. I will treat you to a drink and a walk--"
"Hey, hey, the shopkeeper hasn't agreed yet, and the cook in the store has also cooked the food, so I won't..."
"If you don't agree with me, how could your shop owner allow you to drink?
Eating vegetables is not as enjoyable as drinking. Come with me quickly!"
"Hey this..."
That old Qiu looked fearless and just dragged the pony away.
Xiao Ma didn't even have time to say anything to the shopkeeper, so he left the stall and the two of them staggered towards the depths of the market.
Xiao Wen's eyes widened to the point where he couldn't believe that the only waiter in the rouge shop just left like this.
When he saw the other party walking away, he quietly poked his head out and took a look inside the store... At this time, the store was brightly lit, and rouge and gouache were neatly lined up on the containers.
But Xiao Wen didn't pay any attention to these rouges and gouache, which could be regarded as expensive luxuries. Instead, he stared at a certain place in front of the counter... He clearly remembered where the other party put the formula.
Dong Dong... Dong Dong...
The sound of his heart beating made Xiao Wen sweat profusely without realizing it. There was no better opportunity than now... All he had to do now was to slowly approach the store and quietly take away the precious formula.
He couldn't even imagine how far they could develop with Xu Jing's family business if the formula was put into Xu Jing's hands.
But one thing is certain, Xu Jing will definitely reward him greatly for this matter, and gaining Xu Jing's complete trust is just a matter of course.
This is how little people climb. If you seize the opportunity, you can follow the steps of the big people and soar to the sky. If you fail to seize the opportunity, you will spend your life working hard and doing nothing.
"Done!"
Xiao Wen gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, finally making up his mind.
At the same time, he quietly slipped into the store and looked around. No one rushed to the counter quickly.
There are not many things on the counter, including an abacus, account books, a bowl of tea that has been cold for a long time and...
And a delicate little wooden box.
Xiao Wen quickly opened the wooden box to confirm. Sure enough, there was a perfume formula filled with various materials and production processes lying flat inside the wooden box.
He only dared to look at this one more time, because just as he was opening the wooden box, behind the door curtain, the voice of the female shopkeeper came again from the back room to greet the waiter:
"Pony, haven't you finished cleaning up yet?"
Xiao Wen didn't dare to stay longer, closed the wooden box, and immediately ran in the opposite direction.
Xiao Wen didn't even look back along the way, running through the entire market and knocking over countless passers-by.
But he still didn't stop. It wasn't until he rushed out of the market and entered a dark alley that he dared to stop and take a breath.
Huchihuchi...
Xiao Wen gasped for breath against the cold brick wall. At this moment, sweat flowed down his neck and into his clothes, soaking through his entire upper body... The cold wind was blowing at night, and when the cool breeze blew, he was so cold that he almost dropped the wood in his hand.
box.
He quickly retrieved the wooden box and held it tightly in his arms, like a wild dog guarding its food.
But soon, he laughed again...
Squatting on the steps, he had a smile on his face, as the wooden box quietly opened, and he took another uneasy look... Seeing the formula lying peacefully in the wooden box, not to mention how beautiful he felt at the moment.
.
What does God help me mean?
This is God helping me!
Because he was staying at the door of someone else's house, he did not dare to shout out what was in his heart.
He really felt that his success today was really due to God's help - the right time, right place and right people were indispensable. Otherwise, how could he have stolen this formula so easily?
At this time, Xiao Wen never thought about things in another direction, and it was even less likely that after he left the rouge shop, Xiao Ma, who was supposed to follow Lao Qiu to drink, walked out from behind a tree not far away.
.
Behind him was Lao Qiu, who said he was going to treat him to a drink. The two of them looked at Xiao Wen's fleeing back from a distance and couldn't help laughing.
"I ran pretty fast, but my brain seemed to have fallen behind."
"Hey, Miss Cai's plan is not perfect. How can this guy have the ability to see through the trap we set up for him?"
"Go tell Sister Zhaoji and the others, I'm starving."
Xiao Ma asked Lao Qiu behind him to walk into the store with him. In fact, their identities were extremely clear at this moment.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Ma Dai and Qiu Cong?
As for the so-called female shopkeeper, it was just Cai Zhaoji who had dressed up in disguise. At this moment, everyone from Youjian Villa led by Cai Zhaoji had already gathered in Chengdu in order to deceive Xu, who was caught in a fight between trapped beasts.
Jing.
The letters that Pang Xi left to Xu Jing were actually written by Cai Zhaoji, imitating Pang Xi's handwriting.
Of course, this does not mean that Pang Xi was unaware, but Pang Xi had not arrived in Chengdu at this time. He and Ma Jun were only halfway through the journey at this time, so matters in Chengdu were left to Cai Zhaoji, who arrived here first.
Wait for someone to take care of it.
This is a well-designed game. The three parties cooperated, such as Cai Zhaoji, Pang Xi, and Peng Yi who was recovering from his injuries. The three parties cooperated to get what they needed and set up such a game.
Fortunately, Xu Jing is a talented person who can make these three people join forces. Now it is difficult for him not to join the game.
——
Back to Xiao Wen, after taking a short rest, he walked through several alleys and finally returned to the Xu Mansion. At this time, the excitement in his heart had overcome his fear. He stood in front of the door and knocked on the door.
He had a confident smile on his face.
I just heard him shout through the door:
"Master! Master! Open the door quickly! I got it, I got it!"
A response came quickly from the door. Xu Jing was indeed not asleep yet... Hearing Xiao Wen's voice, he quickly packed his clothes, stood up and opened the door for Xiao Wen.
After opening the door, he saw Xiao Wen sweating profusely, and Xu Jing was still a little confused.
In the end, Xiao Wen didn't say much, pointed to the wooden box in his arms, and said excitedly:
"Sir! What do you think this is?"
"Fragrant...perfume?"
"Yes and no... Sir, please don't get too excited...Listen to me, this is the formula of the perfume I stole from that shop."
"What?
?”
She said she told Xu Jing not to get excited, but seeing the perfume formula right in front of her eyes, Xu Jing was still so shocked that she sat down on the ground.
