Jiangnan Inn is still the same as yesterday, with the door wide open, decorated with dragons and phoenixes, low-key and luxurious, just like yesterday, no one greeted at the door.
Just like the feeling of a deep courtyard, if you step in for the first time, you may be timid and stopped by the silent atmosphere inside, or you may be stopped by the unexplained wealth and imposing decoration. This is of course not always the case.
A place where ordinary people come, suitable for those who are either rich or noble, to come and stay temporarily.
Of course, I am not one of those who are either rich or noble, nor am I one of those who are timid. To be precise, my brothers and I belong to a group of paupers, the only ones who are bold enough to come here and fly like a tiger.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
I took a deep breath and walked in quickly. There was no lingering trace of yesterday, no confusion or timidity, but more calm and confidence.
Just when I was about to rush upstairs quickly, a middle-aged man, Sima Yi, stood in the darkness without knowing it, which almost scared me out of my mind.
"Oh my god, you are so scary standing here, even in broad daylight. Do you have a hobby of scaring people?" I was shocked, and I was a little bit annoyed. This nonsense is in broad daylight. Standing here in a dark place is common for everyone.
Scared to death, not to mention that in a place like this where the "courtyard is so deep", the probability of being scared out of your wits is even greater.
Sima Deng slowly walked out of the darkness, completely like a messenger of darkness. He always has a cold temperament on his body, with a calm look on his face. If he shows a ferocious smile at this moment, I will
As you can imagine, I took out the kitchen knife from my schoolbag without any hesitation and slashed it with no hesitation.
Maybe he felt the unfriendly look in his eyes, but when he saw me, his attitude immediately returned to the humility of a senior manager.
No, he is not humble. At least he looked at me straight in the eye, and I discriminated against him without timidity. The two of us just stared at each other for 5 seconds. I felt more that he
If you want to suppress me with your eyes, in this case, I must not have stage fright.
Not only did I not have stage fright, I also tilted my head and curled my lips with an unclear smile. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
After all, due to the disparity in status, the Jiangnan Inn here bullies the guests, but those who come here are guests, and they don’t hit the smiling faces. Everyone who comes here has a certain background. Here I am just a pretending to be rich, but no
Excluding the power behind me, I don’t have the support of Jintang behind me. Of course, I have also learned to use the power of a fox to fake the power of a tiger. If I don’t use it before I can use it, then I am a waste.
Not only did I not get angry, but if I lost control of my emotions in this situation, I would end up at a disadvantage. If I was stimulated by the other party's emotions, I would lose control. My long-term kidnapping experience tells me that I will lose in the first step.
Already.
So I just looked at him with a smile, and he finally lowered his head and smiled without leaving any trace: "Miss Cat, you didn't check into our Jiangnan Inn yesterday, right?"
I asked aggressively: "I didn't stay at Jiangnan Inn here, but the room fee was not less. The check-in fee for your workshop room will be calculated directly with you immediately, so you don't have to worry, how did you know that I
It is the guest's decision whether to come or not to sleep. Do you still check it so clearly? This seems to be my right and my freedom. Do I have to report this to you? No, I don't think so."
Sima Deng lowered his head, not being humble, that is, he was bending over, and his tone was still calm, showing how he felt. Only people who have been immersed in this world for a long time can have such a calm attitude.
.
"I don't dare. It's just that last night when we were giving desserts to every household, we knocked on your door and found that you were not there, so I just said hello. Because you live here, we have to make sure that our
Every guest does not need to be safe and sound. The biggest guarantee for staying with us is safety, so we were very worried about your safety when you were not here. If your brothers hadn't told me that you were staying at a friend's house,
Then we will definitely rescue you tonight, no matter what, this is our purpose."
I was really surprised by such a big list: "Brother, you can't be mistaken. Your place is not so good. Even if they are missing, you have to find ways to make it permanent. Then everyone here can go all out to protect them."
Is it safe? This is very difficult to achieve. If they make a rumor outside, or if an enemy comes to seek revenge, then such things are unpredictable. Do you want everything at this point?
Protect the safety of each of them? This is simply an independent country here. If you can do this, it shows that your strength cannot be underestimated."
He still looked calm, and answered matter-of-factly, without any further uproar: "Yes, Miss Cat comes to live with us, and we must ensure their safety to the greatest extent. If someone disappears from us,
Then we must do our best to find the truth, which is why we come to live here."
I was still surprised and asked: "If Tombstone lives here with you, doesn't that mean that they all come here to take refuge? If they don't take refuge, wouldn't they come to you to seek shelter and be safe?" I suddenly thought of a certain point that is very crucial.
s things.
He told him that he could ensure everyone's safety. There was one thing that I suddenly realized I hadn't asked about this topic since yesterday. This topic was the room fee. How could he be so bold in ensuring the safety of every guest and get to the bottom of it?
, to ensure that they leave this inn safely, thinking that if they are chased by the enemy again, if this situation can be achieved, it will cost a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources to maintain it.
This is taken for granted. If there is no financial and material resources in this world to support it, how can you ensure his safety?
I had already imagined that he might give me an astronomical figure. I swallowed hard and pretended to be very calm and asked him: "How much is your room rate per day? Don't be so polite to me, in this world.
Is it not easy to exist for so many years? Since we are all acquaintances, we should get a discount. It seems that if you and I don’t mind, you can give us a discount and free of charge. This will make it easier for us to talk in the future. I will definitely help you promote more of your store.
content, and then help you attract some rich or noble people to ensure that you have a lot of money."
That's what I said and what I thought. I have to find a way out in everything. If I have to wait for him to give me a number, it will seem insincere if I say this again. I might as well say it in advance. Because I am in Jianghu.
I have learned from my experience that this is called saying good things first and then bad things. It is like what is said in books, what is the heart of a gentleman and the queen of villains.
I just looked at him carefully, hoping that the answer he gave me would not disappoint me too much.
But there are too many things to hope for, and there is no shortage of this one.
Stuart held out a finger to me.
I breathed a sigh of relief: "Ten yuan a day? Then you are really not a shop that specializes in killing regular customers. It seems to be a really conscientious Jiangnan Inn. The price is exactly the price of a major bank, not less, and the general market price is only 5
If you pay 10 yuan a day, it is suitable for you to come here, because after all you have to pay so much, is this money reasonable and legal?" I continued with great enthusiasm, "This price is no problem, we live here
In three days, I will help people promote your Jiangnan Inn, otherwise it is a conscience inn."
I finished paying the bills at this time. Niu Ba, who came from downstairs, had already seen me coming. He quickly walked over to me and pulled me aside. It seemed that he had something to talk to me alone. Look at him.
Looking anxious, I walked to the side with him. Situ Deng next to me didn't say anything. He stood there waiting for me to come back like a puppet quietly in the dark.
If sometimes Niu Ba has this characteristic, he likes to bite his ears about everything, and he is embarrassed to say some things in front of his face. Being mysterious and sneaky is one of his characteristics.
I was particularly impatient and was pulled into a corner by him. I couldn’t talk about anything frankly. I had to be so secretive, and it would look like something to outsiders. It seemed that some of our things couldn’t be seen in the light, and we couldn’t do it openly.
, this pattern is somewhat price-deprecating.
In front of outsiders, I still had to give him some slack. I deliberately stood with my hands behind my back, looking like a boss, and deliberately coughed a few times: "Tell me what's going on?" I meant this to you.
Stuart listened.
Is that bullshit or is she just trying to spread the word: "I found out last night that the room rate here is too expensive. It's said to be 10 oceans a day. What should I do? Now even if I sell me, it won't even be enough to buy an ocean. How about we think of something?
Find a way to escape." He said while observing my eyes, and paying attention to whether Stuart was eavesdropping on our words.
His sneaky look really made me want to kick his butt on the spot. He will never change his forward-thinking attitude. My personality will never change. He has always been like this since he was a child. He will always be unfounded and worried.
This kind of personality. Of course, he is also doing it for our own good.
When I heard that 10 yuan a day was said, I almost jumped up. I tried my best to cheer myself up and never let the other party see a trace of panic.
I bought three rooms for 10 oceans each. Doesn’t that cost 30 oceans a day? This is money that many ordinary people can’t earn in a lifetime. It’s really a big scam! It’s just a standard black shop.
It's not a store with a good conscience. What a waste of all the words I just spent talking about it.
I took a deep breath and thought to myself, don’t let yourself get really messed up. I can do it, 30 ocean dollars, 90 ocean dollars for three days a day. So I peeled my skin, pulled my tendons, drank my blood, and I
I can't come up with so much money. It seems that the only option is to bleed Jintang.
But I am unwilling to do so. Since I have to spend so much money to do this, I found out nothing about the information. I spent 90 yuan. I don’t know what Najintang would think. But I don’t think he would.
I have any objections, but I just don’t want to spend so much money to build this black shop, and I really don’t want to do it anymore.
Niu Ba was also an anxious patient, observing our expressions. Seeing the anxious look and imagining how frightened and panicked he was inside, I can't guarantee that he has never seen anything more than 5 yuan in his life.
A huge amount of money. The mere mention of 30 yuan could break his spine.
I said calmly to Niu Ba, and deliberately said in a louder tone: "Isn't it just 90 yuan? But this is the money for a few meals. I know that your master is very strict in calculating accounts. You promised my grandfather, I
I have to control my expenses on this trip, and my grandfather didn’t give you too much money before he came out.” I paused after saying this, and looked at Situ Deng from the corner of my eye. Although he lowered his head, I was sure that he was here.
Listen to our conversation here.
What a tricky one here.
I patted Niu Ba on the shoulder with a very relaxed posture, and said in a calm tone: "Master, don't worry, it's not just about this issue of birth. I will give my grandfather an accountant letter, and he will get it for me."
Come here. I am the treasure of my grandfather's heart. He can do anything he wants regardless of wind or rain. Just this store, if they don't have to clear it out in three days, we can do it for three years without any problem. Yes.
, tell the brothers that I will have lunch with them later, and I will come up with you in a while. You go up first. Cheer up for me at noon. I heard that the gold and silver jewelry here are the latest ones in the flower market.
Zhu Yunliang, I want to do some shopping in the afternoon. I asked some of their bodyguards to keep an eye on me and don’t get rid of all my treasures. They are all so young and are ancestral treasures that have been passed down.
I can’t even afford to apologize after seeing you guys.”
I reprimanded Niu Ba in front of Master and Disciple Deng, which of course also hinted that we were not short of money, mainly to give the other party a reassurance.
Ushiba nodded, turned around and went upstairs. There was no extension in his behavior. It was completely a standard master's behavior of obeying his master. However, the way Ushiba walked completely exposed his role identity. Because he was a San
I stepped up in two steps, looking panicked, not the scheming look of a master from a wealthy family. Instead, I looked like a bookboy accompanying me, childish and reckless.
I turned to look at Situ Deng again, and saw him looking at Niu Ba’s leaving figure, with the corner of his mouth curling up.
This awesome guy is not good at acting, but he is more than capable of ruining things.
In order to save the ending from being too bad, of course, the more important thing is to bargain. Thinking of killing my cat Jiujiu so easily was almost a big joke.
As everyone knows, my cat, Jiujiu, is also an iron rooster who values money more than life. How could I become a fish on someone else’s knife so easily? That is absolutely impossible. This fishy me decided to rebound.
hit.
Bargaining is also one of my hobbies and expertise. Fighting with money is endless fun, so you have to see what you can do.
