Returning to Xiancheng, Liu Pan and Liu Kuang naturally found Lin Xiao and Lin Xin immediately.
Still in front of the barbecue stall, Lin Xin and Lin Xiao had smiles on their faces, and they didn't know what they were talking about before.
"Brother, you're back. If you don't come back, the stall owner will think you ran away after eating the Overlord Meal."
Seeing Liu Pan come back, Lin Xiao spoke directly, with an expression of unceremonious disdain on his face.
Liu Pan was startled for a moment, but then he understood. Originally, he was thinking whether Lin Xiao would reveal his identity, but now it seems that he has overthought it.
After all, in the book, Lin Xiao changed her name to Lin Xin and stayed with Liu Kuang for so long without being seen through. Doesn’t this prove Lin Xiao’s power?
"Eating a king's meal? What a joke! How could I, Ye Liangchen, be like that?" Liu Pan said confidently: "Besides, aren't you here? If I don't come back, it won't be the same if you pay.
"
"I'll pay? Are you overthinking it? I only ate two skewers out of this whole lot of food. How dare you ask me to pay?" Lin Xiao still looked at Liu Pan with disdain.
"I..." Liu Pan opened his mouth but no words came out. At this moment, he felt speechless.
"Hey, forget it, let's not talk about these useless things. Isn't it just to settle the bill? Stingy. Boss, there is no need to look for it." Liu Pan shook his head and threw a large ingot of silver to the stall owner.
"Let's go, let's find a place to sit down and chat." Liu Pan said, looking at Lin Xin, raising the corners of his mouth, and his eyebrows almost flew up, with a mean look on his face...
Liu Kuang and Lin Xiao: "..."
"I almost forgot." Liu Pan reacted after taking two steps, turned to look at Lin Xiao and said: "Sister, go to the Baobao Chamber of Commerce and inform Xu Xiaozhan that Liu Kuang is back and ask him to come to Chenghai Building, let's go together
Have a meal."
"Why should I go?"
"Should I go?"
"..."
…………
Chenghai Building is the largest restaurant near the seaside in Xiancheng. It originally belonged to Yang Chen's Chamber of Commerce, but apparently it now belongs to the Baibao Chamber of Commerce.
In the only private room on the top floor of the restaurant, several people sat around the fine pear flower jade table, and delicacies were served to the table like running water. Liu Pan never put down the chopsticks in his hand the whole time.
Of course, in addition to eating for himself, he also kept picking up food for Lin Xin, and kept asking about the dish.
Although I didn't mean to treat Lin Xin that way, it was obvious that the whole scene had to be done.
This meal seemed meaningless on the surface, but in fact it was Liu Pan's plan to make Xu Xiaozhan stand out in front of Lin Xin.
There is no doubt that Xu Xiaozhan is a special being. Although his business skills are amazing, without strong backing, the final outcome will definitely be a tragedy.
The reason why Xu Xiaozhan is highlighted is actually to let Lin Xin convey some information about the relationship between Xu Xiaozhan and Liu Kuang to the people behind her. Because only in this way can Xu Xiaozhan be safer.
At least, it will be relatively safe when he and Liu Kuang are not with Xu Xiaozhan.
Liu Pan believes that once people in the dark believe that Xu Xiaozhan's existence is beneficial to Liu Kuang's growth, they will definitely pay more attention to Xu Xiaozhan, and even secretly help Xu Xiaozhan without leaving any trace, so that Xu Xiaozhan can grow faster.
Time is a very strange thing. Some people are not in a hurry, some people don't care, some people can't wait, some people don't want to wait, and some people have no time left.
Of course, it is not enough to just pass it on to those people behind Lin Xin. But apart from Lin Xin, Liu Pan has no other channel to pass on information now. He can only believe that if those people hiding in the secret have the same idea
, that in some special matters, even enemies will pass on and share information.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the others had almost eaten, and Liu Pan was barely half full. Xu Xiaozhan took the initiative to talk about future business expansion and development under Liu Pan's "no trace" signal.
Xu Xiaozhan was not a fool. He couldn't understand why Liu Pan would bring the topic to the future business development, but obviously, to guide him in this direction, it was natural for him to show off.
Xu Xiaozhan believed in Liu Pan and Liu Kuang. He had been in contact with Lin Xiao for several days, and Liu Pan said that Lin Xiao was Liu Kuang's future wife. In this way, the only person present was Lin Xin, who had just met her and didn't know the details.
Talking about business development and expansion plans in front of a stranger? If it's not stupid, then it has ulterior motives.
Xu Xiaozhan tried to cover up and drank a few glasses of wine in a very arrogant manner. He became excited due to the alcohol, and the development and expansion plan came out of his mouth.
Xu Xiaozhan's explanation was very clear and easy to understand. However, he only had a simple plan and did not have any precise operation methods. Obviously, he was not confused.
It was a very enjoyable meal. In fact, except for Liu Pan, no one else had eaten so much omnivorous food in one go for a long time.
It was already late at night after the meal. After Xu Xiaozhan sobered up, he returned to the Baibao Chamber of Commerce. It was still an important period for the Yang and Zhao Chamber of Commerce to merge into the Baibao Chamber of Commerce. Many things required his personal intervention, so it was better to avoid delays.
In the business plan, the first step is to build the entire Xiancheng into a commercial iron barrel. This will become the most solid foundation of the Baibao Chamber of Commerce. It is impossible not to be cautious.
Xu Xiaozhan left, and Liu Pan was too full to move, so he took a rest in Chenghai Building. It was his own territory anyway, so he could stay as long as he wanted.
As for Liu Kuang, he told him to send Feijian a message to him when something happened, and then went directly to find a place to retreat with his sword.
Lin Xin and Lin Xiao looked at each other, and finally chatted for a while before finding a room in Chenghai Building and settling in. Of course, because of Xu Xiaozhan's instructions, the two of them treated Chenghai Building as their own home and had absolute freedom.
Time passed, and Liu Pan, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, opened his eyes.
Naturally, Liu Pan didn't really rest. In fact, from the beginning of time travel to now, Liu Pan didn't really rest a few times because he didn't need it.
There are two types of fatigue, one is mental fatigue, and the other is physical fatigue. The former is difficult for Liu Pan to feel because of his strong mental power, while the latter, since he actively absorbs the essence of the sun and moon to strengthen his body, the fatigue will disappear.
It's getting weaker and weaker, and now it's almost nonexistent.
With a wave of his hand, Liu Pan erased the restriction on the door. At the same time, Liu Pan also said: "Come in, I know you will definitely come to me."
"Squeak~"
With a soft sound, the door was pushed open, and a beautiful figure walked in.
"You must have a lot of questions to ask me, but I don't want to answer you." Liu Pan smiled, and without waiting for anyone to speak, he took out a messenger flying sword from his storage ring and threw it over, saying:
"Liu Kuang was more cautious when he was in seclusion. Before, his mental power swept him to the west-north direction. Go in that direction, five miles away from the city, until you reach a place with mountains and then use the messenger flying sword. I believe
We'll find him soon."
There was silence for a long time, and finally the figure turned and left the room without saying a word.
Liu Pan breathed out, but he felt a little depressed in his heart. For a moment, Liu Pan smiled to himself, stood up and opened the window, looking at the shadows flashing under the stars in the distant sky, and his mood suddenly changed for some reason.
Much more peaceful.
"Why are you thinking so much? The toad and the swan are a matter of whether they are worthy or not, and you can't even talk about whether they are worthy or not, because you have no qualifications at all. You are just a corpse..."
Liu Pan said to himself, but when he said this, he suddenly remembered something, laughed at himself again, and said: "I think you are really overthinking, she is not her at all!"
After exhaling again, Liu Pan's mood completely calmed down, and he even vaguely felt as if he had unlocked some kind of shackles, and his whole body was feeling better.
The sky is full of stars, it's very beautiful, but it's a pity that I can't find anything familiar.
Xiancheng was very quiet at night, because it was already past the third watch and there were almost no lights to be seen, which made people feel peaceful unconsciously.
The night was a bit cool, but Liu Pan didn't care. He just leaned in front of the window and was lost in thought. He thought about a lot, all about people and things in another world...
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Pan woke up and his eyes fell on the figure lying on the street in the distance.
At this time, the sky was still blurry, and only the eastern sky was slightly bright. Such an abrupt figure really made people feel a little strange.
Yuan Li circulated to his eyes, and Liu Pan's pupils began to dilate like a cat's eyes, and then he saw clearly the figure lying on the ground.
After being slightly startled, Liu Pan jumped up and floated down from the window.
"Old man, are you okay? It's not yet dawn. What's wrong with you going out so early?" Liu Pan spoke, and while speaking, he helped the old man up from the ground.
Liu Pan's appearance was very sudden. It was not until Liu Pan helped him up that the old man finally came to his senses. At the same time, he also believed that Liu Pan was not a bad person.
"Thank you, young man. I was going to the beach to collect the morning net. I couldn't see the road in the dark, so I accidentally fell. It's nothing serious. Don't worry." The old man said.
"Collect the morning net?" Liu Pan was stunned, and then he understood something.
Xiancheng is close to the sea, and aquaculture is one of the necessary developments. Fishing and other things are naturally done by people. To put it simply, the old man is actually just a very ordinary little fisherman.
In fact, while talking with the old man, Liu Pan's mental power also noticed that almost everyone in the other nearby houses had people going out one after another, and they were all heading towards the seaside.
After just chatting for a few words, the old man left in a hurry and went straight to the beach. According to the old man, if you go late and the "blind cat fish" cannot be caught, it is a small matter, but if the net is caught by others, you will suffer a big loss.
After looking at the old man's leaving figure and then at the sky, Liu Pan shook his head unconsciously. No matter which world he was in, there were always people who got up earlier than chickens.
Turning around, Liu Pan prepared to return to Chenghai Tower.
After a few steps, Liu Pan paused, turned around and looked at the place where the old man had fallen, and then looked at the sky. An inexplicable color began to flow in his eyes...
