to blame

If you want to visit Xie Rong, you have to call ahead to make an appointment.

Although this person is engaged in the camel business in the Eight Kingdoms, a businessman will not stay in the small shop of hundreds of square meters all day long.

Sure enough, the call came. Xie Rong was returning to the highway in Yaozhou City. Hearing that Nanjiang had something to look for him, he thought for a while and said, "I will see the shopkeeper later, and I will fly to Guangzhou at nine o'clock in the evening. If you are not in a hurry, wait I'll talk about it when I come back next week."

Nanjiang looked at Qingqiu, Qingqiu looked at him eagerly, and stepped on his shoulders with two small claws.

Nan Jiang sighed, "I'm a little anxious."

"That's how it is," Xie Rong said: "If Captain Nan doesn't mind, come to the chamber of commerce club to find me at six o'clock. It's a small party, and all the people who are acquainted are present, and it happens that we also have something to do with the 'sixth group' I want to ask Captain Nan about the problem."

Nan Jiang calculated the time and agreed.

The two finalized the meeting and hung up the phone.However, Nanjiang is a public official, and there are requirements for attending such occasions. First, he cannot participate in commercial activities, and second, he cannot attend meetings alone.

Nanjiang was thinking about who to bring there, so Qingqiu asked him pitifully, "Can you take Mingxia with you?"

Nan Jiang froze for a moment, they had actually only been separated for a few hours, and Ming Xia was going back to the old city tomorrow morning.To say how urgent the meeting request was, it really wouldn't be just a few hours away.

"Why?" Nanjiang asked it.

Qingqiu felt a little embarrassed, "I was thinking, you are human, and then Xie Rong and the others... are all human, only me..."

Qingqiu lowered his head, and the fur all over his body drooped, "It's just me, I don't even have an independent chair."

Nan Jiang asked it patiently, "Then how to solve it? Xie Rong said that he only has this time to see us."

Qingqiu asked him cautiously, "Can you take Ming Xia with you?"

It turned out that I wanted to find a little confidence from a person who loved it.

Nan Jiang nodded, indicating that he understood, "Wait for me to make a call."

Nan Jiang called Mr. Hu and told him that he was going to see Xie Rong later.

Mr. Hu doesn't object to him getting in touch with these people. After all, monsters have their own news channels, and sometimes the news from them is very helpful to the "sixth group".

Mr. Hu said: "Although there is Qingqiu, it is not yet a regular employee. Who is in the team?"

Nan Jiang said, "I'm going to the city, so I might as well call Ming Xia."

"also."

Although Ming Xia is not a formal employee, his certificate was issued by the "Sixth Group", and it is currently within the validity period of the certificate.In terms of rules, it is also possible.

So the matter was settled.

Ming Xia originally planned to use the night time to pack her luggage, but did not make any other arrangements. When she received Nanjiang's invitation, she readily agreed.

Now he has a certain understanding of the rules and regulations of the "Sixth Group", and he knows that there seems to be no one else who is familiar with Nanjiang in the urban area except him.

After inquiring again, yo, Xiao Qingqiu is not confident anymore, and wants a trustworthy friend to go with him to give him courage.This is not only funny, Ming Xia almost feels sad.

Xiao Qingqiu is a man-eating fox, the legendary nine-tailed fox, and now he has been beaten down by a group of earth turtle monsters who can transform into shapes? !

Ming Xia immediately ran back to his bedroom, searched back and forth several times, and found a bracelet that Ming Ming had given him in the corner of the wardrobe.He thought this thing was too fancy, and kept it at the bottom of the box, and it finally came in handy today.

He removed a few transfer beads from the bracelet, compared the sizes, and chose a slightly smaller bead embedded with a circle of colored broken gemstones, and put it on with an elastic strap, intending to give it to Qingqiu.

Ming Xia thinks that Qingqiu has always disliked its black hair as unattractive, so wearing beautiful jewelry will always make it look prettier, right?

And receiving a gift is always a happy thing, let's think of it as an early celebration that Qingqiu's sentence will be commuted, right?

Qingqiu was really happy when he received the gift, he used his claws and sharp beak to move the bead back and forth and looked at it for a long time.Because the gemstones exposed at each angle are different, the color and luster will appear different with each pull.

"It's so pretty." Qingqiu said with bright eyes, "For me?"

Ming Xia smiled and nodded, "Congratulations on commuting your sentence."

Qingqiu struggled with his round eyes, "Captain Nan said to submit the application, but we have to wait."

Ming Xia squeezed its little paw, "Celebrate in advance."

Qingqiu asked again, "This is gold, and there are so many precious stones... so expensive?"

"It's not that expensive." Ming Xia was amused by it. "There are also a few beads with different gemstones inlaid on them, but they are all beautiful. When you become a human, I will string these beads again." , wear it as a bracelet for you, it must look very nice."

Qingqiu nodded quickly.

Ming Xia adjusted the tightness of the rope, put beautiful beads on it around its neck, and took some beautiful photos with its mobile phone for it to see.

Qingqiu narrowed his eyes in happiness.

Nan Jiang has been suffering from pantothenic acid since Ming Xia was picked up. He thinks he has known Ming Xia for a long time, even longer than Qing Qiu.Why didn't Ming Xia treat him so well?

Just because he can't be cute?

Thinking about it this way, Nanjiang looked at Qingqiu horizontally and vertically.

When they arrived at the chamber of commerce club, it was just getting dark.

Because it was a party, Nan Jiang thought it was a business trip, but he didn't think too much about it, but Ming Xia felt that it was not good to come here empty-handed, so he brought a bottle of red wine from home.

The red wine was given by Ming's father's friend. It is a specialty of a small European winery. It is not a particularly expensive thing, but in the circle of red wine lovers, this red wine is considered rare.

Ming Xia doesn't feel good about red wine, mainly because he doesn't want the monsters to think that they are here to eat rich people.

The waiter led them to the "Mountain and Sea Room" on the top floor, and when they opened the door, they saw that there were already several early guests sitting in the room.

Ming Xia has become more courageous since he walked in the Xishan Great Formation, and he doesn't feel cramped when he sees a room full of monsters.And with a glance, I saw that it was exactly as Xie Rong said, it was not a formal party, and all the guests were dressed in casual clothes, which did not appear to be out of place at all.

After all, Ming Xia has limited time in this industry. Among these guests, he only knows Tao Sheng and Xie Rong.There are also a few faces that look familiar. They should be faces they have seen on TV or magazines. The only thing that is certain is that these people are all business people.

With Ming Xia as his companion and wearing such a radiant bead on his body, Qingqiu no longer feels inferior, and greets people openly when he sees them.

Tao Sheng also praised it, "I haven't seen you for a while, little brother Qingqiu is getting used to it better." Last time we met, he was just like a turtle who only knew how to eat.

Qingqiu was happy in his heart, and his mouth was sweet, "We all have to maintain the order of this society. If Mr. Tao has any news, you must let us know."

Its voice is clear and crisp, and it always has a childlike voice when it speaks, which sounds like a child pretending to be an old man.

Tao Sheng wanted to laugh when he heard it, but seeing its serious appearance, he held back again.He is also a monster himself, and he has also experienced times when he wanted to transform into a human being but was unable to do so.Besides, what secrets are there in the monster circle?They are all a group of old acquaintances who have lived for hundreds of years, and they are not too unfamiliar with each other.

There are not many people who don't know about Qingqiu's affairs.

When Tao Sheng first entered human society, there were times when he was deceived and abducted by others, so he felt pity for him.Hearing Qingqiu ask about Qingtan, he thought about it very cooperatively, and said: "Speaking of Qingtan, I have actually seen it in the early years."

Qingqiu's eyes widened in an instant.It counts that it has not seen this brother for more than 300 years.

Tao Sheng showed a look of reminiscence and said: "I just arrived in Yaozhou City, and the business hadn't started yet, and I only had some old things dug up from the mountains in my hometown."

Ming Xia asked him, "Old things, do you mean antiques?"

Tao Sheng smiled wryly and nodded, "At that time, I only heard that these things were valuable, so I thought about exchanging them for human money, and doing some small business to make ends meet."

"After all, the mountains are engaged in development and tourism to generate income. I can no longer live there. Of course, this is the general trend of the development of the whole society. The natural environment left for wild monsters will inevitably become smaller and smaller. To integrate into human society and live, It’s almost a must-choice question.”

"But my eyes were darkened at that time, and my understanding of human society was worse than that of the natives in remote areas. How do I know how valuable these old things are and how to cash them in? Once they come and go, they are targeted by people. Stupid don't know."

Qingqiu also became nervous when he heard that, if Tao Sheng hurt someone because of this kind of thing, the "Sixth Group" would also hold him accountable.

In this world, being a monster is so difficult.

Tao Sheng stretched out his hand to touch Qingqiu, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, I met Qingtan, he helped me deal with a few hooligans, and led me to find a reliable buyer, so I have the capital to do business." .So I have always been very grateful to him in my heart.”

Qingqiu felt a little proud, "Qingtan is such a powerful person."

Tao Sheng nodded with a smile, "I heard him talk about a very cute little junior at that time, but unfortunately he was out of luck and was tricked by someone... Let's not mention this, just talk about Qingtan. He said that he once When you go back to your hometown, something happened to you at that time, and he left again when he couldn't see you."

Qingqiu's eyes widened immediately, "He went back to find me?"

Tao Sheng nodded affirmatively, "He probably didn't know what happened to you at that time, so he went back to his hometown directly. He even showed me the photos of your hometown."

Qingqiu said with nostalgia: "I haven't seen my hometown for a long time. Sigh."

Tao Sheng comforted him, "There is a chance. I heard from Qingtan that he made an enchantment on the mountain in your hometown, and no outsiders will come in and out at will."

Qingqiu was overjoyed, and quickly said to Ming Xia: "I will take you to my house if I have a chance in the future!"

Ming Xia nodded with a smile.

Tao Sheng had met Ming Xia before, and he still had an impression of him, and seeing that Nan Jiang and Qing Qiu had a good relationship with him, he didn't avoid him when talking.

"The last time I saw Qingtan was when Zhang Luo opened the seafood restaurant." Tao Sheng calculated silently in his heart, "Less than ten years. Speaking of which, there was a supplier introduced to me by Qingtan at that time."

Qingqiu was surprised again, "Brother also does business?"

Tao Sheng was amused by its appearance, and said with certainty: "Qingtan business is very big, it's not a small business like mine. But I didn't specifically inquire about what it does, I only know that for a while he was with Foreigners do import and export business. In short, I, who run a small restaurant, can't compare with him."

Qingqiu looked at him in a daze, and then at Ming Xia, as if he couldn't believe that his senior brother who was especially good at fighting and eating was actually so powerful.

Ming Xia touched it, thinking that there are all kinds of people, and it seems that monsters are also the same.

There are especially shrewd monsters like Qingtan, there are aggressive monsters like Shuizhi, and there are people like Tao Sheng who buy property and live in peace... Of course, there are also stupid ones like Qingqiu.

Forget it, just be stupid.

But having said so much, Tao Sheng also doesn't know where Qingtan has gone.To him, Qingtan was just a companion on a certain road, and when they arrived at the station, they each went their own way.

Ming Xia comforted Qingqiu, "Maybe Nanjiang can ask more questions. Don't they all say that Xie Rong has a lot of information?"

One person and one bird looked towards the other corner of the hall.

Nan Jiang and Xie Rong stood by the window chatting, Nan Jiang was a little paralyzed, but Xie Rong looked warm, still the same old style of a master.

Ming Xia thinks that Xie Rong is more suitable to wear a long gown than a shirt and a suit, as he has the suave vibe of a nobleman.

It was originally Ming Xia's idea to inquire separately. He thought that Xie Rong likes to talk in circles, and it might be easier for Nan Jiang to talk to him alone.

But now seeing the smile on Xie Rong's face, Ming Xia suddenly felt uncomfortable again.
