On the Hundred Ways of Chasing Mermaids
Chapter 57
Lan Xi looked at the scene in front of her, feeling a little helpless—is this what Xuan Mo said, "People have human nature, do demons have evil ways"?
But is it really appropriate to fake public affairs for personal gain?
The little squirrel stood up, waving its paws and squeaking something. On the other side, Xuan Mo looked serious, and confirmed while listening: "Are you sure that person's note is Zhou Lan?"
"Squeak." The gray mouse nodded seriously, with a timid expression.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xuan Mo nodded, stood up, picked up his mobile phone and went to the balcony to make a call.The little mouse slowly lowered its paws, lay down on the ground, and looked around quietly.
Lord Taotie's house is so big, when will he be able to buy such an apartment in S city?Woo, he hasn't transformed yet.Thinking of this, the little squirrel felt a little sad.
"Drink tea?" Suddenly, a huge shadow loomed over, the little squirrel raised his head, his short hair all frizzed up nervously, he was relieved when he saw the face of the visitor, and raised his paw to make a move. He bowed: "No, thank you madam."
The one who asked the question was Lord Taotie's partner.
"..." Lanxi felt the veins on his forehead twitch, he sighed, and said to this overly polite little guy, "Just call me Lanxi."
"Then how can it be, ma'am." The little squirrel was still a little scared of the huge monster in front of him.
Lanxi took out a piece of tiramisu from the refrigerator and put it on the table, and poured Xuanmo's favorite spiritual tea into a shallow bowl. He greeted the strange guest: "You're welcome."
The cake in front of him exudes a tempting aroma, especially the steaming hot tea. The little squirrel hesitated for a while, but finally lost the temptation and came over: "Thank you, madam."
Lancey: "..."
After eating and drinking, the little squirrel sat on the table with its chubby belly and looked at Lanxi shyly: "It's been a long time since a mouse ate something so delicious."
Lancey blinked and asked doubtfully, "Is the life of monsters difficult?"
Around him, whether it was Xuan Mo, Qing Xi, or Song Luo, they all seemed to be doing well. The world was in front of him. He originally thought that all monsters were like this, until he saw the miserable little guy in front of him.
"I... hiccup, I haven't transformed yet." The little squirrel said with a sad face, "After the founding of the country, I can't become a spirit, so I can only hide..."
Be careful even when speaking, not daring to be discovered.His situation is not bad, he accidentally entered the Non-Human Association, and from time to time he helped the adults to earn a little extra money, and other people in the deep mountains and old forests were even more miserable than him.
Lancy silently brought up a small cake, and added tea to the little squirrel.
There is no harm without comparison, Lan Xi sighed, he thought he was living in dire straits all day long, he used to worry about being eaten, and later he was afraid of failing the exam and being sent home, so compared with other monsters, he is already very happy ?
"Thank you ma'am," the little squirrel's eyes lit up, and the two cakes finally opened his mouth, "Madam is so gentle, no wonder he was not eaten by Mr. Glutton."
Lancy: "What?"
The little squirrel stretched out its paw and patted its chest: "When we learned that you were going to live in Mr. Taotie's house, we were worried that you would not live long..."
Seeing Lancey's bewildered expression, the little squirrel explained quietly: "We are all afraid of Mr. Glutton, but we didn't expect you to be with him."
Lancey saw a genuine envy on the little squirrel's face.
It's not the disdainful and jealous envy of human beings who "little star embraces golden thighs", but pure "the mermaid is so powerful that he was not eaten by gluttony", with admiration in horror, and a little Poor envy.
Lancey couldn't laugh or cry.Is this the so-called "A's arsenic, B's honey"?He felt that the monsters beside him were not easy, yet others felt sorry for him!
"Eat." Lancey rubbed the little squirrel's head.After the little squirrel had finished eating, he was sent out the door.
Xuan Mo was busy in the study.
As the only member of the new generation of the Zhuo family, although he has no interest in the family business, he has a lot of resources that can be mobilized at critical moments.
Guiding the direction of public opinion, warning the black hands behind the scenes, and suppressing rivals who are eager to try in the stock market, these things Xuan Mo sat very smoothly—being brought by his grandfather, watching him build up this business empire bit by bit, Xuan Mo How could you not understand?
Finish all this and inform Sister Zhuo of the final result.Xuan Mo suddenly found that his waist was hugged by a guy who sneaked into the study.
Xuan Mo held the mermaid in his arms calmly: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just feel lucky to be with you." Lan Xi rubbed Xuan Mo's face.
"So good today?" Xuan Mo raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Tell me, what pose do you want to try tonight?"
Lancey: "Hi!"

Zhuang Zhenan feels that his life is like riding a roller coaster.
The first 20 years were smooth sailing. The young graders were discovered by scouts and entered the circle. They played a few soy sauces in big productions to gain some fame. How could people who saw him not praise him for his qualifications and potential?
However, the so-called potential of aptitude, as long as it is not realized, is just an illusory thing.He didn't understand at first, he forgot who he was when he was praised by others, he picked and chose not to play the leading role, and the fame he had accumulated after one or two years was squandered.
Afterwards, when he came to his senses and regretted it, he signed a contract with a company that had just been established but had a strong background. On the contrary, he managed to establish a relationship with the director of the company.
He's not stupid, but he's willing to work hard, and he doesn't lose face.It didn't take long before he finally felt like becoming popular again.Seeing that his career has developed, he accidentally put himself in an embarrassing situation because of a trace of unwillingness in his heart.
After that night's charity gala, Mr. Chen seemed to dislike him for his lack of foresight. In addition, the company had newly signed a young boy who was poached from another company and had a similar acting style as him, and his resources were getting worse day by day.
Watching Lanxi move forward step by step, filming commercials, appearing in well-known variety shows, and the road to acting is getting smoother and smoother. In contrast, his exposure is gradually not as good as before, and the company has also shifted its focus to newcomers.
...he was almost thirty.I can't bear another downturn in my career like last time.
With a shy face, he went to ask Mr. Chen for mercy, but unexpectedly found Mr. Chen walking into the familiar apartment cheerfully with his arms around the new guy.
...How did he get to this point?Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the source of everything can be attributed to that ordinary charity dinner.
lancey.
He said the name silently, during the day and in his dreams, so when he asked a group of friends to drink, the name slipped out of his mouth naturally, including everything related to the name.
It's just that he didn't expect that his friend would take what he said after drinking seriously, and actually followed him to take a photo.
Of course, what was even more unexpected was that because of this group of photos, he got a Pandora's Box full of temptations.
"I'll give you the money, and you go to contact your friends. I'll arrange for you to go to the United States after it's done. I have connections in Hollywood." The young man named Zhou Lan had blazing fire in his eyes, and Zhuang Zhenan once passed through the mirror, See it on your own face - that's jealousy and disgust.
He nodded silently, and easily found out the details of this man named Zhou Lan through his friends - the helm of the Zhou family passed away due to illness, and this just-adult Zhou Lan inherited everything from his father.And it's no secret that the relationship between Zhou's and Zhuo's is not good.
Sure enough, after a while, there were 200 million more in his account.
Things did go as he expected, he found Zhao Fengxing, and the other party agreed to his plan almost without thinking.After that, I bought the navy, headlines, hot searches, contacted the marketing account, and agreed to release it at the same time. Soon, Weibo was full of gossip between the mermaid boy and the wealthy young master.
They succeeded.
After getting the final payment from Zhou Lan, he packed his packed luggage and rushed to the airport.After getting on the plane and arriving in the United States, the sky is high and the sea is wide, let him fly high!
However, everything he imagined came to an abrupt end before boarding the plane——
"Sorry, there is a problem with your visa, please stay."
Dazed, he was taken to the airport police|police branch. The young police officer was looking at him with a smile: "Hi sir, our bureau suspects you are suspected of money laundering, please show your ID."
At this time, the land auction in City S was being broadcast live on the TV hanging on the wall of the police station. A lady was standing on the rostrum holding a microphone, the lights below were flickering, and the reporters were scrambling to ask questions——
"Zhuo Dong, look here..."
"Zhuo Dong, what do you think of the news about your brother that has been circulating on the Internet recently?"
The scene was silent. At this time, even the young police officer couldn't help turning around and looking at the TV.The female president on the screen was smiling with a calm demeanor, and she held the microphone very calmly: "I only have four words for this reporter friend—"
"What are you doing?"
After all, the domineering lady stopped explaining and said calmly, "Next."
Zhuang Zhenan's mind was in turmoil, and he heard the young police officer laugh and shook his head: "This reporter is really stupid."
Yes, Zhuang Zhenan, who had lost all hope, agreed in his heart.What they thought was a great thing, in the eyes of those who are powerful enough, is just a joke...
---
"So, what is Zhou Lan doing for?" Lan Xi rolled on the bed, still confused.
envy?hatred?
"He wants the land in the south of the city more than venting his anger." Xuan Mo said lightly.Even if he knew that the news was of little use, he was willing to spend the money, even if it could disturb the attention of Zhuo's management.
It's just that he still underestimated the elder sister Zhuo Mingchen.
Is it really just because the younger generation has no suitable candidates to be able to take charge of the Zhuo family?You know, to be able to overcome gender prejudice and lead the Zhuo family to come more and more, the effort put in in this process was originally only a lot more than that of men.
"Stupid." Lancey sighed.Xuan Mo smiled slightly, holding the little guy in his arms.
"Drip drop~"
Lan Xi passed Xuan Mo and picked up the phone: "Hello?"
Zhao Xiaotao's terrified voice came from the opposite side: "Xiaoxi! This time it's true! Boss, I mean Qingxi, he really disappeared!"
But is it really appropriate to fake public affairs for personal gain?
The little squirrel stood up, waving its paws and squeaking something. On the other side, Xuan Mo looked serious, and confirmed while listening: "Are you sure that person's note is Zhou Lan?"
"Squeak." The gray mouse nodded seriously, with a timid expression.
