Chapter 256: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Qi Weiwei, who was standing beside Bai Xingzhou, looked at Wei Miao with a smile in her eyes.
Although she already knew who the pretty boy in front of her was, she still turned her head to look at her fiancé and said softly:
"Hua Min, won't you introduce this interesting kid to me?"
Bai Xingzhou turned around to look at her, with a smile in his eyes, and said ostentatiously:
"Weiwei, this is what I told you about, my friend Wei Miao who can debate with me about the past and present."
After Bai Xingzhou finished speaking, he introduced Lu Pingsheng and Wu Ziyang to his fiancée.
Qi Weiwei nodded slightly to Wu Ziyang and greeted him generously. She was even polite and considerate to the Japanese Kobayashi Sakura. Her manners and demeanor made people feel very comfortable.
"Have you finished eating?" Wei Miao decided to skip the embarrassing incident just now.
Bai Xingzhou said naturally, "I ate half of it, and when I heard your shocking remarks, I couldn't help but stand up. Now I'm full of laughter."
Wei Miao knew that he was making fun of him, so he said indifferently:
"Then you need to pay half of my meal."
Bai Xingzhou looked at Wei Miao's calm face and felt that most of the depression in his heart was swept away. He said generously:
"Then I can only treat you to a meal next time."
When Wei Miao heard that there was food to eat, he smiled sincerely, rolled his eyes, and said cunningly:
"Then I'll give you a copy of Zhang Manqing's Poems on the Pond."
Bai Xingzhou couldn't help but be delighted when he heard this, and said excitedly:
"You didn't lie to me?"
Bai Xingzhou knew that Lu Pingsheng had many rare ancient books, but he didn't know that Wei Miao also had some.
Wei Miao nodded generously, "I remember all the poems, songs, and annotations on it, there is no point in keeping them."
Bai Xingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. For a moment, he didn't know how to explain to Wei Miao how precious the unique copy was.
Lu Pingsheng was tired of rolling his eyes. This kid was really ruthless in using his things to do favors.
Qi smiled and said:
"Let's not crowd here and disturb the restaurant's business."
After the group left the restaurant, Bai Xingzhou asked them what they were going to do, then turned to Qi Weiwei and said:
"Weiwei, let's go and see who is this person who is so arrogant as to occupy the store in broad daylight."
Xiaolin Ying apologized a little, "I won't go. I have two patients to see this afternoon."
Wu Ziyang said: "Then I'll have someone take you back."
Xiaolin Ying had already stopped a rickshaw and said with a faint smile:
"Don't bother. I just happened to be in Shanghai. I can take a rickshaw and enjoy the scenery along the way."
Lu Pingsheng gave the rickshaw driver two dollars and said gently:
"Follow this lady's route, it's safer."
The driver took the money, smiled happily and thanked repeatedly, then took Kobayashi Sakura away.
Wei Miao was thinking about the little lion, so he took Lu Pingsheng's car keys and trotted towards Lu Pingsheng's car.
Bai Xingzhou listened to Lu Pingsheng's story and sighed:
"Although Wei is young, he is knowledgeable and has a pure mind. He is truly a pillar of the country."
Lu Pingsheng: Don’t exaggerate. How can you tell that a person who raises a lion cub with an infectious disease is a pillar of the country?
Wei Miao opened the car and saw two little lions snuggling together in a small basket on the back seat.
The round ears are drooping and the slightly bulging belly shows that it is still alive.
Wei Miao gently pressed her hands on their heads, and the little bit of spiritual power in her body was transferred into the bodies of the two little guys.
She felt a little sad in her heart, because the lion group she led once dominated the entire grassland.
None of the cubs in her lion pride had ever suffered such a thing.
When Lu Pingsheng and the others came over, the two little lions were still sleeping, but the movement of their stomachs was obviously stronger.
"Let's get down to business first."
Lu Pingsheng saw a medium-rare steak in the basket of the two little lions and felt a little amused. No wonder the kid was clamoring to pack up.
I didn't realize that Wei Miao cared so much about animals.
She even let Ali roam free, and no one had ever seen her bring food or drink for Ali.
When the group arrived at the renovated store, the police had already surrounded the store and were dragging people out.
One of the middle-aged men in a long gown handed cigarettes and money to the leading captain.
"Captain Guo, for the sake of our past friendship, please tell me why!"
Captain Guo looked at the man in front of him smiling flatteringly, sighed in his heart, but said with a serious expression:
"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of relationship do we have with each other?"
Seeing the unhappy look on the middle-aged man's face, Captain Guo lowered his voice and said, "Old Liu, you can't make the decision on this matter, and the people behind you probably can't make the decision either."
The middle-aged man called Lao Liu was slightly stunned. He had just taken over this store a few days ago, and he did whatever his superiors told him to do.
I have a good relationship with the neighbors and the policemen on this street.
There was just one thing: the landlord had long said he wanted to take the house back, but he ignored him and continued with the renovation.
The landlord's people came to collect rent two days ago. He had already prepared the money, but the boss came and bumped into him. Not only did he not pay, he also brought people to beat up the landlord.
Old Liu didn't take it seriously. In Shanghai, there were really not many people they were afraid of.
But seeing this scene, he was uneasy and stuffed another twenty French francs into Captain Guo's hand, "I'll call the boss."
Captain Guo took the money skillfully and nodded.
After Lao Liu made a phone call, Lao Guo stopped and the patrolmen also let go and just surrounded the man.
Just follow Deputy Chief Inspector Wu's instructions to lead out the person behind the scenes.
The newcomer, Old Liu, is also a man who understands the ways of the world. He always greets people with a smile and gives a lot of gifts to his brothers.
But your superiors said they want to deal with you. He is just a small team leader and he can't lose his job just because of a little filial piety.
Wu Ziyang and his men walked in swaggeringly.
When Captain Guo saw him, he quickly stepped forward and saluted with his men:
"Deputy Chief Inspector Wu, thank you for coming here in person."
Wu Ziyang nodded slightly to him, took out a pack of good cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to him, "Old Guo, you've worked hard."
"For the happiness and safety of the people, no hard work!"
Lao Guo took the cigarette, put it in his pocket skillfully, stood up straight and shouted loudly.
Lu Pingsheng curled his lips.
Instead, it was Old Liu whose face turned green, as it turned out that the order was given by Wu Ziyang.
Lao Guo and his gang of bastards, I never neglect them on weekdays. Such an important matter, I didn't say a word before I called.
Now he just hopes that the people above him won't be impulsive, otherwise something bad will happen.
Wei Miao looked around the entire store. From the floor to the walls, from the chandeliers to the chairs, all were European style. There was a piano placed in the center of the hall.
"Is this a coffee shop?" Qi Weiwei and Wei Miao were also looking at the decoration style.
Wei Miao nodded, "It feels very similar to Dachang."
Bai Xingzhou nodded, "Indeed, I felt familiar as soon as I came in, but I wonder if the chestnut cake here will be delicious."
After waiting for a while, they saw a group of people coming in from outside the door, forming a black mass.
The leader had deep facial features and a long scar at the corner of his eye. It might be a recent injury, as the scar was still pink, making it less hideous.
Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng were both a little surprised. They didn't expect that the foreign concessions had become so small.
You can meet Bai Xingzhou when you have a meal, and you can also meet familiar people when you collect rent.
