Booth 126.
"I've tried my best. I've sold a lot of stock at a low price in the past three days. Unfortunately, I'm still short of 100,000 psionic points." Fang Qinghua sighed. In front of him, Fang Ziyi, Lin Haoyang, and the others were all depressed.
Fang Qinghua's team member, Ling Jin, couldn't help but say, "If Young Master Lin and Miss Fang are willing to take all the psionic points from the family fund and combine them with our savings, we can get the Bauhinia Flag for sure."
Lin Haoyang shook his head and didn't say anything. Fang Ziyi said faintly, "Sorry, Haoyang and I can't put all our eggs in one basket without corresponding benefits."
"How is this not corresponding benefits? Getting the Bauhinia Flag is something that benefits all of us." Ling Jin said.
"The Bauhinia Flag can only hold three permanent members. After the team is established, will you quit? Or will he quit? "Fang Ziyi pointed at another awakened next to her, her tone a bit aggressive.
Ling Jin showed a dejected expression.
Fang Qinghua waved his hand and said, "You can't blame Ziyi and Haoyang for this. If you want to blame someone, blame it on my lack of ability. It's been two years since I graduated, and I can't even save up a permanent team creation item. "
Ling Jin lowered his head and sighed, "The money we've spent on temporary team creation items in the past two years is more than 100,000 psionic points."
Fang Qinghua knew very well that even if his current two teammates, Ling Jin and Wei Haoran, quit and promised Lin Haoyang and Fang Ziyi that they would be the first permanent members, the two might not be willing to help him get the Bauhinia Flag.
It's like a newly established company. Lin Haoyang and Fang Ziyi invested a lot of psionic points as capital. How could they be willing to be subordinate team members? It must be known that the team's public storage space was bound to the captain.
The ideal model was for Fang Qinghua to get the team creation item and then bring Lin Haoyang and Fang Ziyi into the team. He would have absolute authority over everything in the team.
"Do you think Ouyang Heng is crazy?"
Fang Ziyi shifted the target of her hatred. She frowned slightly and said, "At that time, my cousin could have sold the talisman item to Bai Xiaowen, but he interfered and couldn't pay for it. Not only did he cause my cousin to lose a business deal, he also offended Bai Xiaowen for no reason."
Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Ling Jin added, "That's right. Just from that Dark Gold Equipment, we can tell that Bai Xiaowen is very powerful. If we don't offend him, we might even be able to borrow some Psionic Points from him."
Fang Qinghua sighed. "The reason why I invited him to dinner, apart from wanting to sell him the Vigor Zombie Talisman, was because I wanted to borrow it. Unfortunately, he seemed to be a little angry and directly declined the meal. "
"Ouyang Heng is very sinister. Did he already know that he and cousin are competitors?" Fang Ziyi snorted. "That's why he deliberately messed with cousin's business."
Everyone in the room fell into deep thought.
Lin Haoyang said, "With my understanding of him, I don't think so. He just wanted to annoy Bai Xiaowen. "
"In any case, you should avoid Ouyang Heng in the future," Fang Ziyi said. "He often drags you to the bar. Don't think that I don't know about it."
"Uh …" Although Lin Haoyang was stronger than Fang Ziyi, he still looked weak in front of her. He didn't dare to object.
"Sigh, I used to think that Ouyang Heng was a good person, but now it seems that he is not worthy of a deep friendship," Fang Ziyi said.
She then cheered up again. "Since we didn't get the permanent team building item, let's look for a temporary team building item. I remember that there are temporary team building items in this exchange meeting."
Ling Jin looked at the inventory list and showed a strange expression. "Yes, there is. Among them, only this' Hittite assembly order 'is in line with our level."
"Bai Xiaowen's inventory?" Another Hunter, Wei Haoran, smiled bitterly. "We really can't get around it."
"He didn't sell it in the past three days, right?" Fang Ziyi asked.
Fang Qinghua smiled and said, "The information on the inventory list is updated immediately. The items that have been sold will not appear on the inventory list again." He looked at the record and said, "Well, that was close. He originally had two items, but he has already sold one."
Wei Haoran said, "Captain, we have offended Bai Xiaowen. It's not good to go to him again."
Fang Qinghua shook her head. "That's why we have to go to him. We have no conflict with Bai Xiaowen. We can't stand against Bai Xiaowen because of Ouyang Heng. "
Lin Haoyang and Fang Ziyi looked at each other. They could see that the balance in Fang Qinghua's heart was already leaning towards Bai Xiaowen. If it weren't for Ouyang Heng's strong background, it was hard to say if Fang Qinghua would be able to maintain a neutral attitude between the two.
On the other side, Ouyang Heng was also throwing a tantrum. Not only did he take out the family's funds to build the team, but he also squeezed out all the money from his little brother, Wu Chaojie. The new member, Qi Ruifeng, also sponsored a sum of money out of friendship. However, after pooling so much money, they lost the first battle that they were determined to win. The team's future was not optimistic.
"That hateful American woman dares to steal from me in my territory!" Ouyang Heng cracked his knuckles.
"Calm down. It's because we are in Hua Xia that you can't use underhanded means to deal with her. The atmosphere is very strict now. It's not a trivial matter if an Awakened is caught fighting in Hua Xia." Qi Ruifeng advised.
Ouyang Heng was just saying. He couldn't deal with Camille in private. His family wouldn't support his actions.
The government attached great importance to the image of Hua Xia. If a foreigner who bought a treasure with a large sum of money was attacked in Hua Xia, who would dare to come to Hua Xia to participate in trade fairs in the future?
Moreover, Camille was a member of the Rockefeller family. The American government's power was weak, and the development of big families was limited. The Rockefeller family's influence in the United States was greater than the Ouyang family's in Hua Xia. They couldn't be underestimated.
"Don't let me meet her in the Spirit World." Ouyang Heng could only hatefully say this.
…
As soon as the White Phoenix team walked out of the stadium, they ran into Camille and Monica. The American woman came up and gave them a warm hug. Her mouth stretched out and was about to kiss Bai Xiaowen's face.
A slender hand stretched out from the side. With a smack, Camille's lips kissed the white palm.
Qiao Rui expressionlessly pushed Camille's face away. "Please respect yourself. This is Hua Xia's land. My team leader can sue you for sexual harassment!"
Camille blinked. "Don't be so serious, Qiao. I'm just expressing my heartfelt gratitude to Captain Bai. I believe Captain Bai won't think that I'm harassing him. "
Bai Xiaowen coughed. He could still feel the warmth and softness of Camille's two indescribable objects on his chest. However, Li Shuyi's gaze quickly evoked his desire to live.
"There's no need to thank me. Lending money is also a kind of transaction. You just have to return the points on time. Also, remember the confidentiality agreement. I don't want anyone to see our relationship. "
Bai Xiaowen didn't want the whole city to know that he lent money to Camille. This would further offend Ouyang Heng. Even the other competitors of the Bauhinia Army might have a bad impression of the White Phoenix team. Although Bai Xiaowen wasn't afraid of Ouyang Heng, it was better to avoid trouble. Bai Xiaowen didn't want to do things that didn't benefit him and would only offend others.
"Alright, we'll meet again soon, handsome and charming Captain Bai." Camille wasn't stupid. She could tell something was wrong from the confidentiality agreement Bai Xiaowen signed with her. She took a few steps back to keep a distance from Bai Xiaowen. Then, she beckoned Luoke to leave. Before she left, she winked at Bai Xiaowen and released a wave of electricity.
Qiao Rui frowned and said, "This woman is too casual."
"Maybe it's just western etiquette …" Bai Xiaowen played dumb.
"I've never seen her treat others with such etiquette," Li Shuyi muttered.
Qiao Rui said, "Shuyi, you have to control your Xiaowen. Otherwise, he'll become a womanizer sooner or later. When that happens, he'll get a bunch of mistresses for you. Our team will be in chaos."
"Yes, yes, yes …"
Li Shuyi put one hand on his waist and pretended to be fierce. "Ha, you were flirting with a foreign beauty just now. Do you think I don't exist?"
"I'm innocent …"
The three of them laughed for a while. Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen's phone rang. He raised his hand and saw that it was Fang Qinghua's number.
After answering the call, Bai Xiaowen grunted a few times and hung up the phone. He said with a strange expression, "Fang Qinghua wants to make a deal with me. He wants to exchange the Strength Zombie Talisman for our temporary team building tool, the Hittite assembly order."
"Don't we already have several summoning tools? Don't worry about him anymore." Li Shuyi was still brooding.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "There's no need to keep him hanging now. He'll definitely blame Ouyang Heng for his failure in the competition for the Bauhinia Army Flag. The Hittite assembly order is useless to us. It's better to use it in exchange for actual benefits … The Strength Zombie Talisman is actually very good. "
"Well, let's trade then," Li Shuyi said.
According to the agreed location, Bai Xiaowen and Fang Qinghua met again to complete the deal. Fang Qinghua obviously wanted to mend the relationship between the two sides, and her words were quite warm. Bai Xiaowen naturally wouldn't pretend to be cold and aloof. The two sides could be said to hit it off immediately, leaving each other with long-term contact information, and deepening their friendship and cooperation in the future …
Of course, this relationship was not considered a friendship. They just felt that the other party was valuable.
After saying goodbye, Bai Xiaowen went to Qiao Rui's house again. Last time, because Qiao Rui and the rest of the Qiao family were there, the two sides did not have time to talk in depth. Now, they finally had a chance to get to know each other better.
Bai Xiaowen learned that Qiao Rui's father was the chairman of a large state-owned enterprise and was considered a big boss in the business world. Qiao Rui's mother ran a personal business and was also very rich. Bai Xiaowen finally understood why Qiao Rui's pseudonym, "Proud Princess," was so generous. It turned out that tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan were not even pocket money for her …
Of course, after becoming an Awakened, Earth's currency no longer had much meaning.
Qiao Rui's father was particularly concerned about the relationship between Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi. After understanding it through indirect means, the worry between his eyebrows became even more intense.
However, Qiao Rui joining the White Phoenix Squad and having such an excellent captain to protect them was still something to be happy about.
Bai Xiaowen was very magnanimous and took the initiative to say that Qiao Rui had handed over the psionic points to the team. Qiao Rui's father and mother looked at each other, their expressions a little strange. Bai Xiaowen thought that they had something to say, but unexpectedly, Qiao Rui's father and mother said that they already knew about this matter.
Needless to say, it had to be Ouyang Heng who had told them the secret. Bai Xiaowen frowned, and his dislike of Ouyang Heng deepened.
In turn, Qiao Rui's father comforted Bai Xiaowen and made it clear that he did not care who was in charge of Qiao Rui's team fund. Qiao Rui was already an adult and had his own judgment. He and Qiao Rui's mother would not interfere.
However, in the end, Qiao Rui's father still pulled Bai Xiaowen aside and quietly told him to treat Qiao Rui better. The main point was to "keep an eye out for a reliable boyfriend for her."
Bai Xiaowen knew very well that Qiao Rui's father still did not want Qiao Rui to be with him. After all, Li Shuyi was there. No parent in the world would want their daughter to share a husband with another woman. Even if the concept of the psionic era had changed, it was still the same principle, especially when the Qiao family was so prominent.
After saying goodbye, the three members of the White Phoenix Squad, including Qiao Rui, stepped onto the teleportation array and left the capital.
Jinghai Base City.
As they walked out of the teleportation array, the three of them took in a breath of fresh air.
"The air in Jinghai is more humid than in the capital, after all." Qiao Rui exhaled softly and looked a little perplexed.
"Sister Qiao, where are you staying in Jinghai this time?" Li Shuyi asked. "We can't stay in a hotel, right? That's not a long-term solution."
"I'm staying with you guys. Do you welcome me?" Qiao Rui joked.
"Well …" Li Shuyi hesitated for a moment. She seemed to have thought of something and her little face suddenly turned red.
"Alright, I'm just joking." Qiao Rui became serious. "You guys are staying in the Taoran Residence of Jinghai University, right? I'm not a student of Jinghai University. It's inconvenient for me to stay there. I'll just stay at Xiaowen's house. "
"Your house? Although Xiaojun and her personal assistant are staying at home, there are still empty rooms. You can stay there, "Li Shuyi said.
"Of course it's good to stay at home. I'm just worried that Sister Qiao won't be used to it," Bai Xiaowen said.
"What's there to not be used to? I've wanted to see Xiaojun for a long time. I want to see if she's as pretty as Xiaowen, "Qiao Rui said with a smile.
"That doesn't sound quite right …" Bai Xiaowen complained. Then, she took the car from the parking lot near the teleportation array and drove Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi back to the Chihuo District.
Her personal assistant, He Zhiqing, had called in advance. She knew that there would be guests today, so she made a few extra dishes. It was summer vacation, so Xiaojun was at home too. At noon, the family sat around the table and ate together happily.
To Bai Xiaowen's surprise, Qiao Rui quickly became familiar with Xiaojun. The little girl was obedient to her and affectionately called her Sister Qiao Rui. Because of Wu Xiaoyan's incident, Xiaojun was very guarded against outsiders. Even Sister Zheng took a long time to make Xiaojun accept her.
