Well of Mystery

On the fifth day after returning from the swamp, Bai Xiuqi went back to his apartment and called Li Kun over.

After several days, the room was still in a mess, and the daffodils began to wither one after another, and the original suffocating aroma was gradually changing into a smell of corruption.

Because she didn't want more people to know what happened here, Bai Xiuqi rejected Li Kun's suggestion to go outside to find a part-timer to clean.The two of them, and of course he urged Li Kun to start tidying up, stuffing all the bouquets into the huge black trash pocket.

Although it was a mechanically simple job, it still took a long time to clean up because the quantity was too large. It was finally around five o'clock in the afternoon.

The two people who hadn't eaten lunch felt hungry at the same time.Different from Bai Xiuqi's simple idea of ​​just ordering a takeaway to pass a meal, Li Kun has started a moth again.

"This matter has finally been resolved, shouldn't we celebrate it? Let's go to Lao Jiang's place to have a tooth-beating ceremony, and by the way, even the supper at night will be resolved."

The "Lao Jiang" that Li Kun refers to refers to a famous restaurant in the business district of this city.The first to third floors are the Food City, which is resplendently decorated like a palace. It mainly sells Cantonese and Hong Kong-style snacks and meals.Take the elevator directly to the [-]th floor and there is a nightclub, a standard gentle township and a golden cave with feasting and feasting.

Because of the good personal relationship of the hotel owner, Lao Jiang, when Bai Xiuqi was bored, he would occasionally visit the nightclub, so he understood the purpose of Li Kun's invitation.

"How come you are healed and the scars forget the pain? Will you die if you don't mess with a few peach blossoms?"

"Brother, I am so sad to hear you say this!"

Li Kun took a step back and exaggeratedly held his heart: "I promised Mandy nothing changed. I even sent money to her parents yesterday, but I was almost beaten up. I am extremely desperate now. I really need to mend my wounded little heart, or I will probably never love again in the future."

"It sounds like you used to be very good at love."

Bai Xiuqi shook his head, he knew that he had no way to stop Fa Xiao's actions, but following him could at least keep him from doing anything too outrageous.So he simply packed up and went to Lao Jiang.

By coincidence, Lao Jiang happened to be in the hotel when they arrived.

At least half of the interpersonal relationships in China are established at the dinner table.So the average restaurant owner is half of the bag to inquire and half of the courtesan.Before the two of them had time to eat, Lao Jiang said that there was a table of important guests present today, and he said that he would lead them to introduce them.

Lao Jiang said that the composition of the guests at that table was more complicated.From directors and writers to IT e-commerce companies and presidents of large websites, there are twelve or thirteen people in a mess. In order to do a good job of keeping secrets, three adjacent boxes were reserved three days in advance to conceal the public and clear the scene.

Lao Jiang himself is considered to be a famous person in the hotel industry. In the past, when celebrities came to the hotel, they would often meet and exchange greetings.However, facing a dozen or so people today, he actually felt a little bit guilty, and he just pulled a rookie in the painting world and a rich second generation to strengthen his courage.

Bai Xiuqi originally didn't pay much attention to this kind of communication, but then he thought about whether he would come here for dinner if he rejected him?So he gritted his teeth and nodded.

The box is the largest and most luxurious one in the hotel.The floor is covered with thick jacquard carpets, the ceiling is inlaid with mirrors, and gorgeous crystal lights are hung.Below the crystal chandelier is a five-meter-diameter, insanely huge electric circular tabletop.In the center, crystal glass containers of different heights are filled with blooming flowers, and a few candles are lit to enhance the atmosphere.

In contrast, the eleven or twelve people sitting scattered around the giant round table are a bit sparse.

The moment the box door was opened, almost everyone's eyes turned.The lobby manager who was in charge of escorting immediately started the introduction, followed by Lao Jiang's familiar greetings and polite responses from everyone.Bai Xiuqi was standing on the side feeling bored, thinking about when he could go to eat, when suddenly he heard someone call his name.

Looking at him was a middle-aged man in his 40s, a bit fat, fair-skinned, with a thin beard, and he looked familiar.

"Wang Ti, director." Li Kun reminded him intimately.

Speaking of Wang Ti's name, Bai Xiuqi certainly knew it, but he didn't remember that he knew him.It was Director Wang who solved the mystery himself.

"I really didn't expect to see you here. Your dad and I are old acquaintances. You used to come to my house to play when you were young, and you've grown so big in a blink of an eye." He paused at this point, "Hey, pity……"

Bai Xiuqi nodded to express his understanding, and vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he was indeed taken by his parents to various occasions.It's a pity that after they disappeared, most of the relationship chains were broken, and it's normal not to remember.

Wang Ti then asked about Bai Xiuqi's recent situation, and expressed his condolences for his grandfather's death, and Bai Xiuqi responded politely.At this time, Lao Jiang had already made a toast and came here.

"If you need anything in the future, just contact me." Wang Ti took out a business card from his pocket, "Your dad and I are good buddies."

Didn't the good buddies just break up like birds and beasts?Bai Xiuqi muttered something in his heart, still showing a very polite face, and exchanged his business cards at the same time.

The programmed greetings were finally over, and Bai Xiuqi and Li Kun, who had completed the task, went out and returned to their small boxes.The cold dishes are ready, and the hot dishes will start soon.

Li Kun couldn't wait to grab a duck tongue and stuff it into his mouth, and sighed in a muttering tone: "This group of people are actually netizens. Netizens, why do such busy people also go online?"

"What's the matter? Don't you also have Weibo and WeChat?" Bai Xiuqi looked very calm: "Pan Shiyi and Ren Qiangqiang are still showing affection on Weibo. Do you really think they are pure netizens?"

"There is no love for no reason, no hatred for no reason, and no netizens for no reason." Li Kun nodded with a deep expression on his face: "Everything in the world is for profit, and the world is for profit. See through!"

"No, you're just quick-talking." Bai Xiuqi fed him another duck tongue.

After that, no one bothered them to eat anymore, but the nightclub opened at 09:30, they deliberately ate slowly in order to procrastinate, and even turned on the TV and glanced casually.

At nine o'clock, the evening news began.The female anchor in a mint green suit sat upright, and released a big news as soon as she came up.

"At five o'clock this afternoon, some body parts were found under the bridge hole of the Dongxin River in the west of our city. The body was a woman. After preliminary identification, the death time was more than half a month. The specific identity is yet to be further verified."

The picture on the screen was a dark bridge hole, and the police salvaged an object wrapped and tied with a blue tarpaulin.

"puff--"

Li Kun almost sprayed a mouthful of pickled rice on the table: "How can this kind of news be broadcast during the meal, bad review!"

"It's already nine o'clock. Can you return the meal? If you have the ability, you can run a TV station yourself."

Bai Xiuqi casually inserted a piece of watermelon.After seeing the corpse dragon a few days ago, he felt that his psychological endurance had been greatly enhanced, and now it would be fine for him to learn from his predecessor Da Vinci to dissect the dead.

Li Kun muttered a few more words, then turned off the TV.The calculation time was about the same, and they took the elevator to the nineteenth floor after paying the bill.

Lao Jiang's nightclub is called "Penglai No. [-]", which is weird and bland.But anyway, most of the people who come here to relieve boredom are not sober, and it doesn't matter whether it is called Penglai No. [-] or Air Force No. [-].

The circle of the hall is an ordinary field, with a stage dance floor and a buffet area.There are semi-open seats on one side, and pink and orange veils are hung on the top of the sofas facing each other. From the outside, everything looks hazy and ambiguous.

Going further from the self-service area is the VIP box, which can be used to order songs and drink. Of course, it is also a relatively evil part.

Li Kun walked to the room he went to most often with ease, and asked the familiar princess to open several bottles of high-end foreign wine, with an expression that made him feel a little drunk before the show even started.

Bai Xiuqi didn't plan to come over to mess around, so he sat far away by the window. The 19th floor is not too high, but looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can still have a panoramic view of the brightly lit commercial street.A little farther away, the towering landmark commercial building Sky Tower is shining in the night.

Thinking of the scene where he took Jiang Chenglu to undergo transformation a few days ago, an imperceptible smile crossed the corner of Bai Xiuqi's mouth.

Speaking of which, I walked out of Xuanjing's apartment early this morning without saying hello to that guy.It's already nine o'clock in the evening, will he call and ask later?

Forget it, the relationship between each other is obviously not that kind of intimacy, so why make up such an assumption, isn't it against yourself?

Bai Xiuqi suddenly felt that he also needed to drink a little alcohol. He raised his head to look for the wine glass, but found that he was being watched.

It was the woman he used to occasionally strike up a conversation with, with fair complexion and gorgeous features, long legs and big breasts, she looked a bit mixed race.

Finding that Bai Xiuqi had also noticed her gaze, she simply took the initiative to sit over with a glass of wine.

"Young Master Bai, what's the matter today? You seem a little unhappy."

"No." Bai Xiuqi shook her head, "It's just a little tired."

"Tired? Do you want me to rub it for you?" As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, and the rhinestones inlaid on her nails were shining.

"No need. You go and accompany Li Kun." At the critical moment, Bai Xiuqi sold out his teammate once.

As expected of him being on a romantic occasion, the woman could see his thoughts at a glance: "Young Master Bai, don't you like me?"

How should I explain it, tell her that I actually fell in love with a man... If this situation continues to develop, maybe it will become the second Wang Qingzhi and Li Kun... The only difference is that Li Kun is just a cover, but This time, I am the real deal.

Although he said that his matter might not be possible, but once he understood his thoughts, Bai Xiuqi felt that he couldn't continue like this.To use a cheesy phrase, he may have no morals, but he is also a principled person.

He was struggling, but he heard the woman laugh out loud: "Could it be that Young Master Bai has a wife at home, right?"
