Xiao Bai didn't even give Yao Qian a chance to glare at him. He smoothly put down his seat, pulled a blanket over himself, and put on an eye mask.
Sleep.
"Xiao Bai, have you ever taken an intercity transport before?" Yao Qian's voice came from the other side.
"No." Shirō Makino thought to himself, I've never taken an intercity transport before, but I've taken an interstellar one!
"Then how come you're so familiar with it?"
Yao Qian's voice was full of curiosity. He was probably trying to change the subject to lessen the annoyance Xiao Bai felt from making him responsible for buying tickets in the future.
"Old Yao, you can be considered someone who grew up in the new era. Do you understand that things are very intelligent and easy to use? Is it very difficult? Why do people automatically think like an old man when they reach middle age? How scary, "Shirō Makino mumbled.
Damn!
How am I old?
I'm only in my early forties. I'm still very young and tender, alright?
Yao Qian sat there in a daze for a long time, then became even more depressed.
He also put down his seat, laid down, and pulled a blanket over himself.
A minute later.
Damn, why is it so hot?
He threw the blanket to the side unhappily, then looked at Shirō Makino's side. There was still no movement. He was probably fast asleep.
So carefree … he should really be confident. Yes, that must be it!
The intercity transport didn't take long. From Hundred Blossoms to Liming, it only took a little more than two hours.
The air command center of the escort fleet would appear at regular intervals along the route. It was hard to say how useful it would be in case of an emergency, but it was still a reassuring sight.
Two hours later, Shirō Makino and Yao Qian alighted from the transport, then boarded a dignified and grand extended flying car.
Many people couldn't help but look at them, because this flying car drove directly into the air command center.
Xiao Bai and Yao Qian enjoyed the treatment that only important people could enjoy. They sat in the extremely comfortable extended flying car, which slowly rose into the air. The inside of the car was especially quiet.
The person who came to greet them was a young lady in her early twenties. She looked dignified and elegant, wearing a white office lady suit and a pair of high-heeled shoes. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she looked very approachable.
"I'm very sorry. Our President Xiahou had originally planned to personally welcome the two of you, but he had a meeting at the last minute, so he could only let me welcome the two of you on his behalf. President Xiahou has prepared a sumptuous banquet for the two of you, and he will be attending it personally. "
The beauty's voice was gentle and pleasant to the ear. Her behavior was dignified and generous, and her attitude was modest and polite. No one could find any fault with it.
Although Yao Qian had made a lot of money over the years, he rarely came into contact with people like this.
Therefore, he smiled somewhat cautiously and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Xiahou …"
Xiao Bai suddenly said, "Your Director Xiahou, heh, you sure are arrogant!"
The smile on Yao Qian's face froze. Is he trying to stir up trouble?
If you want to do something, can't you tell me in advance?
The lady was surprised, but then she smiled and said, "Master Bai, you misunderstood me …"
"Miss, I'm not targeting you. We don't know each other and have no grudges. I know what your occupation is. You're doing very well. "Bai Muye smiled at the young lady.
The fact that Xiahou Ming had sent him to welcome the two of them naturally meant that he was of high quality and ability.
After all, this was not the time to shed all pretense of cordiality, so he still had to keep up appearances.
However, at this moment, the young lady looked at Shirō Makino's face that could make one blush and palpitate heartbeat, and she was somewhat speechless.
Previously, she had seen the photos repeatedly and had undergone professional training. Normally, she should have a strong immunity to handsome men.
However, she did not expect that the real person was so much better looking than the photos.
As a result, when Shirō Makino smiled at her, she immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
Shirō Makino said, "I just have a problem with your President Xiahou. Of course, I'm still young, so if I say something wrong, please don't take it to heart, sister."
"Ah, ah, it's fine, it's fine. Our President Xiahou has already said that Master Bai is an honored guest, so if you have any requests, please don't hesitate …" The young lady replied with a blush.
'Young … is that how you use it?'
Yao Qian looked calm on the surface, but he was actually quite speechless.
Shirō Makino nodded, "Mm, maybe I'm asking too much of a father's love. He probably doesn't care about his daughter as much as I thought. Before, I tested your President Xiahou's sincerity and found that it was passable. But now that we're here, he's pretending and putting on airs. He doesn't even know how to welcome us. If it weren't for your beauty, do you believe that I wouldn't even get on this bus? "
"Ah, I do, I do, I do …" The young lady finally adjusted a little. Facing Shirō Makino's flawless face, she didn't know why, but she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of agreement with him, even though she clearly knew that she shouldn't nod along with his words.
'He's really good at finding fault!'
Yao Qian was impressed sitting on the side.
He was completely convinced.
Unknowingly, the nervousness in his heart had disappeared a lot!
Shirō Makino glanced at Yao Qian from the corner of his eye, then smiled and leaned back in his chair. He looked at the young lady who was sitting upright and still, and waved his hand generously.
"Forget it, he was just a little impolite. I won't lower myself to his level. But if he does that again, then don't blame me for being hostile. Oh right, I won't be attending that banquet tonight. "
"Ah?" The young lady felt embarrassed. It seemed that in front of this young man, other than being shocked and speechless, there was nothing else she could do.
"I'm here to treat a patient and save a life! I'm a doctor! A talisman doctor! Do you understand? I'm not here to participate in some upper-class social event. I'm not interested in that! "
Shirō Makino said calmly and crossed his legs. He said impatiently, "Alright, just pass on my words to your President Xiahou."
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll pass on the message. I'll send the two of you to your lodgings first." The young lady was panicking, feeling that she had done something wrong.
She had displeased the two distinguished guests … especially the most important distinguished guest.
She knew why they were here. They were here to treat the young lady's illness.
So if they were really unhappy, they could just fling their sleeves and leave. Losing her job wasn't a big deal. She probably wouldn't be able to survive in Liming City in the future.
"Also, tell your President Xiahou …" Shirō Makino seemed to have thought of something.
"There, there's more?" The young lady was about to collapse.
"Yes, there's more." Shirō Makino nodded.
"Tell him that I'm very satisfied with you. You can stay by my side for the next few days. I don't need anyone else."
Shirō Makino said, then closed his eyes and began to rest.
Yao Qian, who had been trying hard to control his expression, finally couldn't hold it in anymore. His eyes widened.
Although he quickly hid it, he still failed.
As for the lady sitting opposite them, her eyes were red and she was almost moved to tears!
This brat … this brat … F * ck!
What a jerk!
Old Yao thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything suitable.
'You're the one who's looking for trouble. She's been polite and cultured the moment they met, and she doesn't look like the kind of person who's in charge of receiving guests.
She should be Xiahou Ming's assistant.
Xiahou Ming sending her here was enough to show his sincerity.
On the other hand, Xiao Bai, from the moment he got on the car, he started to nitpick. His faint arrogance made Old Yao feel uncomfortable even though he knew that this trip to Liming City was like entering a dragon's lair and a tiger's den.
After kneeling for so long, it was hard for him to get used to Xiao Bai's rhythm.
So he didn't know what was going to happen next, and he was still a little nervous.
He didn't expect this guy to not only directly express his dissatisfaction with Xiahou Ming in just a few minutes, but he also subtly pulled this young lady to his side.
Although it was impossible to pull her to his side, at least this lady wouldn't blame Xiao Bai for purposely looking for trouble.
She might even think that Shirō Makino is a straightforward young man who clearly distinguishes between kindness and hatred!
F * ck!
This method … Is this a f * cking seventeen year old kid?
Old Yao tried hard to recall. He really missed the time when he first got to know Xiao Bai.
At that time, Xiao Bai was still very innocent, and he was a little reserved when interacting with him. Although he was full of vigilance, he gave off a very cute feeling.
That's right …
Old Yao's mind suddenly flashed, and he understood many things in an instant.
This guy … So it wasn't just to dispel the other party's wariness, so that the other party wouldn't have a chance to get anything out of them.
It was also for him, to make him feel at ease, that's why he purposely looked for trouble so arrogantly!
Old Yao's heart warmed up. Xiao Bai was using this method to tell him: Don't worry, it's fine!
When Shirō Makino first met him, even in the virtual world, he was still very vigilant.
How could he not be vigilant when dealing with a super rich person like Xiahou Ming?
Even though he knew that the other party was plotting against him, he still dared to accept money and still dared to come.
Who would believe that he didn't have a great deal of confidence?
Phew!
Yao Qian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Finally, he felt somewhat at ease.
Shirō Makino also felt at ease now.
Old Yao's performance was really a bit of a loss!
This was nothing because he hadn't seen a real big scene before.
The key was that he had been putting on an act, and his whole body was very reserved, making people feel that he had a lot on his mind.
Would a person who was about to earn more than a hundred million be so reserved?
What were you worried about?
That was why Xiao Bai purposely looked for trouble. Yes, he originally wanted to look for trouble.
This kind of scene was obviously to find trouble for him.
If he didn't say anything, didn't do anything, and just quietly followed this young woman to the hotel where she was staying, and then let her bring him to the banquet at night …
That would be degrading!
Even if he really had such powerful medical skills that he could cure the illness of the young lady from the Xiahou family, the other party wouldn't take him seriously.
When he was still very young, when he was still on the Three-Immortal Island, these methods had already been learned by a group of little guys over and over again.
After so many years of not using it, now that he took it out, it didn't feel very smooth.
However, it was still alright. The specifications of the Three-Immortal Island were too high, and they were usually used for empire-level big shots.
Using it here was just a small test of his skills.
As it turned out, it was very successful.
All the way to the place where they were staying, the young, beautiful, and dignified lady didn't dare to say anything to Shirō Makino.
She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, the other party would explode again.
Therefore, it was basically impossible to get anything from Xiao Bai.
Regardless of whether she was instructed to do so or not, Xiao Bai wouldn't give her the chance.
He only needed her to convey what he wanted to convey to Xiahou Ming, and that would be enough.
To be honest, Shirō Makino's last words just now really moved her.
Because those words were obviously said to protect her!
No matter what Shirō Makino's motive was for saying those words, she had to appreciate it.
Therefore, it was better to be honest and report this matter dutifully.
Although Xiahou Ming didn't come to welcome them, the accommodation he arranged for them was not bad.
It wasn't a hotel, but a manor!
Liming City was too big!
Compared to it, Hundred Flowers City was really a little brother. It wasn't even as big as a district.
This manor was located in the center of Liming City, and it covered an area of hundreds of acres!
It was separated by high walls, and there were people patrolling every certain distance. There weren't any messy people around.
After settling the two of them down, the young woman prepared to leave immediately.
Shirō Makino said with a smile, "Big Sister, aren't you going to tell me your name? Or do you want me to keep calling you big sister? "
"Aiya, aiya, you're too beautiful. I forgot to introduce myself. Sorry, sorry, my name is Du Duo 'er, one of Chief Xiahou's assistants."
The young woman said to Shirō Makino apologetically.
"Alright, I'll call you Big Sister Duo 'er from now on. By the way, do you know about my requests from before?" Shirō Makino looked up at her and asked.
"I know, I know. I've already asked someone to prepare it. It's in your study room. You'll see it when you go in. There are servants inside. If you need anything, just press the bell. "
Du Duo 'er slapped her forehead and said apologetically, "Sigh, my head. I should bring you in and introduce you guys. Look at me …"
Shirō Makino smiled and waved his hand generously, "I know you're anxious to report to your Chief. Hurry up and go, don't delay the important matters."
Du Duo 'er looked apologetic, and left quickly after thanking him profusely.
It wasn't that she didn't want to accompany them, but Shirō Makino had clearly refused to attend the banquet tonight. She had to report to Chief Xiahou as soon as possible.
She couldn't call him!
This was a big deal!
After being invited to the room by the servant, Shirō Makino lay on the sofa and waved his hand to dismiss the servant. Then, he said softly, "Check."
Yao Qian was slightly startled and began to check.
A beautiful voice came from Shirō Makino's earphone, "There's a monitor, but I've blocked it."
Then, she added, "I've blocked all the monitoring devices in the entire building."
"Oh, that's enough." Shirō Makino said to Yao Qian.
Yao Qian was speechless.
Why was he so careless?
Why did it feel like he wasn't ordering him around?
Shirō Makino didn't explain. He smiled at Yao Qian and said, "Old Yao, are you bored? Ask away if you have any questions. "
"You … Forget it. I don't have anything else to ask. You can't even teach the little girl a lesson. "Yao Qian smiled bitterly.
This time, he finally realized that he had a particularly big new shortcoming — he was too narrow-minded!
"I haven't had much contact with people of this level before. I don't have any experience dealing with people of this level. You're the best. With just a few words, you've made them obedient."
"That's what you call convincing. What do you mean by making them obedient? Old Yao, if you have nothing better to do, you should really go back to school and read more books. "
Shirō Makino looked at him and said, "Things like level are not as exaggerated as you think. I remember my old man once told me an old story."
"He said that in the ancient era of our human race, it was a very primitive era, when there was no electricity and no Internet. There was a group of farmers who relied on manpower to farm. The happiest thing for them every day was to sit together and brag and chat during their break. "
"But with their vision, the scope of their bragging was basically limited to the place where they lived. For example, one said, 'The widow of the Zhang family is having an affair.' Another said, 'Hey, I know who it is. It's Old Yao from next door!' "
Yao Qian:???
'Why not Xiao Bai from next door?'
Shirō Makino looked at Yao Qian with a smile. "That Old Yao isn't you."
"You don't have to explain. Go on." Yao Qian felt tired.
"Then, suddenly, one day, a farmer said, 'What do you think the emperor eats and uses every day?'
"One of the farmers said loudly, 'The emperor must eat ten pies for every meal, and they must be filled with beef … At that time, we were not allowed to kill cows," Shirō Makino said with a smile. "Another farmer said,' I guess when the emperor goes to work, he must use a hoe made of gold! ' Another farmer said, 'The emperor's toilets are all made of gold!' "
At this point, Shirō Makino shrugged at Yao Qian and said, "Look, their guesses seem ridiculous, don't they? They're a bunch of ignorant old farmers. But in fact, is it their fault? It's not strange because they haven't seen it before. If they had, they wouldn't have said that, right? "
"Are you saying that I'm one of those ignorant old farmers?" Yao Qian pursed his lips.
"They know how to farm, but you don't." Shirō Makino said.
Yao Qian's face darkened. "I've heard this story of yours before. The original version is slightly different from what you said, but the meaning is similar. I understand, I just … Sigh, forget it, I'm really not good at this. In the past, I've always … "
"Stop, stop, stop talking about your past. Also, what do you mean by there's a difference between what I said and the original version?" Shirō Makino glared at him unhappily and said, "There's something wrong with your way of looking at things. Don't dwell on the details, just listen to the story!"
"Yes, yes, I understand. I've seen it this time, and I'll definitely perform better in the future."
Yao Qian smiled bitterly and said, "It's my fault for letting you, the boss, personally do this."
"Heh, it's good that you understand. But don't call me boss, we're partners. "Shirō Makino said.
Oh my, now you remember that we're partners?
The young lady Du Duo Er was already standing in front of Xia Houming, repeating every word that Xiao Bai said after he got on the car, not daring to leave out the slightest detail.
No matter if it was the words that Xiao Bai ridiculed Xia Houming, or the words that he pulled her along, he did not hide anything.
This was the rule, and also the basic rule of survival for people like them — — Do not play any tricks in front of the boss.
Not only was it especially laughable in the eyes of the boss, it was also a display of brainlessness. The boss would not keep this kind of person by his side.
"You have quite a temper?" Xia Houming was somewhat surprised.
A person that kneels to earn money, a seventeen year old brat, for him to send an assistant to greet him, was already giving him a lot of face?
Even if it was a deputy city lord like the Hundred Blossom King, if he sent Du Duo Er to greet him, the other party would be moved to tears!
Du Duo Er looked young, and did not seem to have any status, but she represented Xia Houming!
Not everyone had the right to represent him!
Even his nephew Xia Houwu could not represent him at all times.
Those two people really did not know anything!
Xia Houming was completely relieved.
Yao Qian's cautiousness showed that he had never seen such a grand occasion before; Shirō Makino's arrogance showed that he was only a young man with a bit of ability but was very arrogant.
After Du Duo Er finished repeating, she did not make another sound, her eyes looking down at her nose.
How to decide was the boss's business, it had nothing to do with her.
"Fine, if the banquet is cancelled then so be it. Get someone to arrange my schedule, cancel all activities tonight. I will personally pay a visit and apologize to him," Xia Houming said with a smile.
Du Duo Er jumped in fright, but did not say anything. She nodded her head, indicating that she understood.
"As for you, since he likes you by his side, then during this period of time when he is in Li Ming City, you can stay by his side. Try your best to satisfy all of his requests. Remember, try your best. Our lady will not sell her body! "
Du Duo Er instantly pursed her lips, lowering her eyelids.
She was very touched.
Xia Houming had always been like this. Although he was such an important person, he was very meticulous, especially thinking about the people around him.
"Of course, that kid is very handsome. If you are willing, then it's up to you," Xia Houming joked.
Facing the teasing of the president, Du Duo Er was too embarrassed to reply, her face turning red.
