The next day, Su Xiaoxiao and Yezi had another day of exams. Xiao Bing called Ye Bancheng. Ye Bancheng didn't seem surprised when he picked up Xiao Bing's call. He said with a smile, "Lil Bing, I'm afraid you have something to say. Do you want me to contact Master Hou for you? You know, Master Hou is not someone you can meet casually. And I don't think you know his contact information. "
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Uncle Ye. In fact, it's easy for me to find out Master Hou's phone number. But it's impolite after all, so I have to trouble Uncle Ye."
"Well, what are you going to say to Master Hou?" Ye Bancheng said straightforwardly, "To be honest, your performance on the arena that day was really shocking. With your strength, once your performance that night is known to the outside world, all the forces will try to win you over, even at the risk of offending the North Heaven Queen."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Uncle Ye should know that I don't have that kind of interest. Otherwise, why would I run a small noodle house here?"
"I know. I'm just reminding you that you have to face some things sooner or later. I'll tell you Master Hou's contact number. Now that you have offended the North Heaven Queen, it's good as long as you can make Master Hou deal with you. Although the North Heaven Queen is difficult to deal with, it's good to offend one less Master Hou. "
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "I'm not just calling to express my goodwill to Master Hou."
"Oh?" Ye Bancheng said curiously, "Do you have other purposes?"
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Yezi had a good talk with me before. Her opinion is the same as yours. She thinks that I have to calm Master Hou down first in order to have a hope of defending against the North Heaven Queen's next attack."
Ye Bancheng said with emotion, "I still underestimate my little daughter. I have always treated her as a child. In fact, she is no less excellent than her brother and sister."
Xiao Bing said, "Yes."
"Then do you have other purposes for calling the North Heaven Queen?"
"Yes." Xiao Bing's eyes sparkled with wisdom and cunning. He said with a smile, "I have to lower myself and ask Master Hou to help me talk to the North Heaven Queen."
Ye Bancheng was silent for a moment, and then he suddenly laughed out loud. Xiao Bing also had a cunning smile on his face.
"Well, well, my daughter is right about you. Lil Bin, you are not only brave but also smart. You are really a man who can do great things. Just based on what you've done, it's not something that an ordinary person can pull off. Since you want to have a chat with Master Hou, go ahead. I'll give you his number. His cell phone number is … "
After Xiao Bing wrote it down, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ye. I will find time to visit you."
"Okay, okay."
Xiao Bing hung up the phone with a smile at the corner of his mouth. Of course, he knew what Ye Bancheng was laughing at and why Ye Bancheng said that he was cunning. Ye Bancheng's idea was to let Xiao Bing temporarily stabilize Master Hou and even show weakness. He did not want to fall out with Master Hou so that he could find a chance to defeat the North Heaven Queen. At that time, it would be too late for Master Hou to help North Heaven Queen.
But Xiao Bing's idea went one step further. He took the initiative to show weakness and let Master Hou talk to the North Heaven Queen on his behalf. In Xiao Bing's view, there was no chance that the North Heaven Queen would let him go. At that time, when the North Heaven Queen saw that her trump card did not listen to her, would she not have any grudge?
Perhaps this grudge might not play any role, but after all, it could be regarded as a little provocation between the two.
And Ye Bancheng obviously understood Xiao Bing's intention, so he said those words and laughed so happily.
After the two hung up the phone, Ye Bancheng soon called back and told Xiao Bing that Master Hou had agreed to meet. He invited Xiao Bing to dinner tonight and told Xiao Bing Master Hou's address.
After thanking Ye Bancheng, Xiao Bing first went to the noodle house to see the construction. Then he began to go shopping and choose the gifts for the banquet. Since he wanted to ease the relationship, he should do it properly.
It was difficult to judge what Master Hou liked, but these were not important. The important thing was that the gift must be expensive, so that it could show sincerity. According to Master Hou's status, he naturally would not lack that gift. It was just for the sake of face.
Xiao Bing deliberately went to the antique market to buy a calligraphy and painting, which was about 100,000 yuan. It was not particularly expensive, but according to Xiao Bing's current status, more than 100,000 yuan was already a lot of blood. People like Master Hou naturally knew that one million yuan was nothing to a billionaire, but in the eyes of an ordinary salaryman, it was already a huge sum of money. Xiao Bing's superficial identity was just a shop owner and a chef, so 100,000 yuan was already a big sum of money. It was completely enough to show his sincerity.
Xiao Bing looked at the time when he was almost done shopping. It was about an hour's drive from Master Hou's mansion, where he lived. It was just the right time to go there now.
Marquis's Mansion was naturally the residence of Marquis in Jiang City. There were three manors in Jiang City. One was the North Manor where the North Heaven Queen lived, the other was the West Manor where the West Heaven Queen lived, and the last manor belonged to the Ye Family, which was also the largest manor in Jiang City.
The residence of the East Heaven Queen Paint-face was a theater that he built himself. Naturally, the theater was not open to the public. The actors in it were specially trained to perform for the East Heaven Queen, and the East Heaven Queen often performed on the stage in person. The audience was all his subordinates.
The South Heaven Queen's villa was halfway up the mountain.
As for Master Hou … As the master of the underground world of Jiang City, Master Hou did not like the feeling of living in a villa or manor. What he really yearned for was the mansions where the royal family, the royal family, or local officials lived in ancient Huaxia. And the mansion he built was in line with his name, Master Hou's mansion.
When Xiao Bing arrived at the gate of Master Hou's mansion, he looked up at the three words "Master Hou's Mansion" on the golden plaque. He could not help feeling a little emotional. The three words reflected a kind of grandeur and ambition, the ambition to conquer the world.
Xiao Bing went forward and knocked on the door. With a squeak, two people dressed as servants opened the door from inside. They looked at Xiao Bing, and one of them asked, "Mr. Xiao?"
"Yes."
"Come in." The two people made way for him, and one of them even led the way in front. "Master Hou has prepared dinner. Please come with me, sir."
Xiao Bing thought highly of Master Hou. Even the gatekeepers of the mansion were so well-behaved, and these people at least did not seem arrogant on the surface. It could be seen that Master Hou was not a simple person.
This was a kind of broad-mindedness, a kind of bearing. Master Hou could maintain such an attitude when he was a subordinate, which proved how ambitious he was.
The mansion was very large, and there were some guards patrolling in the yard. This person took Xiao Bing all the way to the living room. The busy maids stopped what they were doing and bowed to Xiao Bing one by one to greet him. Then Xiao Bing was taken all the way to the dining room. At the door of the dining room, the servant did not go in, but just knocked on the door, and then said to the inside, "Master Hou, Mr. Xiao is here."
At this time, the door was opened from inside. A gentle man wearing glasses stood at the door and smiled at Xiao Bing gently. "Are you Mr. Xiao? Master Hou invites you in. "
Xiao Bing smiled and agreed. Even though he just glanced at him, Xiao Bing still felt a kind of danger from the eyes of this seemingly gentle middle-aged man. Even though the man had an easy-going smile on his face, Xiao Bing did not know why he thought of an animal called a cobra. That animal did not move, but once it showed its teeth, it would be fatal.
Master Hou sat at the head of the table. There were some bodyguards and maids standing in the dining room. Xiao Bing and the man with glasses also took their seats.
The table was full of dishes and high-end liquor. Master Hou smiled and said, "We were talking and haven't eaten yet. You came at the right time."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "It's good that you're not late. This is a small token of my appreciation."
A servant next to him took the calligraphy and painting and put it away on behalf of Master Hou. Master Hou said with a warm smile, "You don't have to bring gifts. You're already here."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "It's the first time I visit. The gift is not expensive. It's just a token of my appreciation."
Master Hou smiled and said, "Well, Mr. Xiao, you're welcome. Then I'll accept it. Let's eat. The chefs in my house are all top-notch chefs hired from the capital. What do you think of their cooking?"
Xiao Bing picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. He put it in his mouth and chewed it hard. He could not help but say from the bottom of his heart, "Good cooking. The chefs in Master Hou's mansion are really good."
Master Hou smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it. This kind of cooking can't be found in the whole Hei Province … Originally, this chef was going to be a private chef for a leader. Later, he did me a favor and entered my mansion. Now his monthly income is several times more than before. He has a car and even his own villa … I don't have any other advantages, but I have a good memory. I will always remember the face that others give me."
Of course, he would also remember if others did not give him face. This hidden line was clearly a warning to Xiao Bing. He had wanted to be a peacemaker before, but he was refused by Xiao Bing. For a person of his status, no matter how broad-minded he was, his face was still very important.
Since Xiao Bing came today with a purpose, he naturally had to put on a good show. He rolled his eyes, picked up the wine glass on the table and stood up.
