Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 393 Crescent Hotel ([-])

393 Chapter 393 Crescent Hotel ([-])
Soon we arrived at the inner hall of the hotel and were taken to sit down by the window.

As soon as he sat down, Wu Xie relaxed a little. He subconsciously looked around and saw that the man in the pink shirt went directly upstairs.

The fat man winked and asked him: "What happened between you and him? It was love at first sight?"

Wu Xie glanced at him and shook his head and said, "No, it's just that this person really looks familiar. Damn it, where have you seen this person before?"

I comforted him: "Don't worry, if you have seen it, you will always remember it."

Wu Xie frowned, nodded and said "Yes", "I have to think about it when I go back. This feels too strange."

Wu Xie looked around and saw a two-story hollow in the middle of the hall with a stage in the middle and said, "I always thought this place was the old hotel left behind by old BJ. It turned out to be a theater."

I looked around and said casually: "Yes, this place used to be very lively. The scattered seats on the first floor were used to drink tea and listen to music. There were also gambling tables here. It used to be really lively on the first floor. Very.

Those private seats on the second floor are only interesting during auctions, but they are not always so interesting. "

The fat man said: "Why, judging from your tone, are you familiar with this?"

I smiled lightly and said, "No, I just came here, but the atmosphere here is indeed not as good as before. No matter the people or the scenery, there is no color. Look at the lights, which make the whole hall look gloomy. There is less and less breath on the ground.”

The fat man chuckled and said, "I noticed that you sound old-fashioned and a bit yin-yang in your words today."

I said slowly: "I don't think so. I'm just telling the truth. Isn't this really not as good as before?"

Wu Xie looked at the stage and said, "What is arranged on it?"

The fat man glanced at it and said, "It should be something from an auction today."

Wu Xie asked curiously: "What do you think will be auctioned?"

The fat man said: "Hey, what else can you take pictures of here? This is the most high-end place for art and entertainment in BJ City. Compared with this place, Christie's in Hong Kong is just a stall!" He grinned and continued: "But here It's a big deal, and it's usually not seen in the world. We can only smell it. I guess that Mrs. Huo is also here to participate in the auction today. She saw us and caught up with her so as not to be delayed. Her other matters.”

Wu Xie frowned slightly and looked at him and said: "What's wrong with you? Why did your tone of voice change when you came here? You're full of Beijing movies, which weren't available when you came in just now. What's wrong with you?" While talking, he was a little bit tongue-tied and stuck out his tongue.

I said to Wu Xie: "Brother Wu Xie, your accent seems to have changed. Although your speech is quite jerky, you use the "er" sound correctly. It's very good and fits the situation."

The fat man chuckled and said: "My sister is right, here, this is the right flavor. You are used to hearing it when we usually speak Mandarin. This is the BJ dialect that I usually use in my daily life. Today I have a Beijing flavor." It's just a bit thicker. If you really want to speak pure old BJ talk, you have to find an expert to learn it, but it's a very special skill."

Wu Xie said: "Does this sound right to me?"

The fat man curled his lips and said, "Well," he said, "Your accent doesn't sound right to you. Your tongue is not very sharp. You need to smooth it out quickly."

Wu Xie glanced at him and smiled lightly: "Fuck you."

The fat man said while flipping through the menu, and finally ordered a pot of tea.

Wu Xie looked at him and asked, "Just order a pot of tea?"

The fat man whispered: "A pot of tea costs [-] yuan, with a [-]% service charge. It's the cheapest tea."

Wu Xie muttered: "If I can eat a table of this, I will go bankrupt."

The fat man drank a cup of tea and said, "That's not food, it's money." He said "Gulu" and drank a cup of tea. Damn it, the tea leaves have to be packed and taken back to be soaked in wine later. This boss is too shady." As he spoke, he drank another cup of tea. He drank every cup without leaving a drop. Pass.

Bai Hao and I chuckled lightly, and Wu Xie patted his forehead and muttered in a low voice: "It's so embarrassing. I think the Wu family's reputation may be ruined in my hands today."

I said to them: "No, don't you still have me here? It's okay even if you order a table." Wu Xie said: "How can that be done? I asked you to come here to help the Wu family support the scene, how can you It costs you money."

I said softly: "Okay, you are the boss today and I will listen to you. But as you said, am I here to help you support the scene? Just say it if you need it. Oh, let me tell you, you are in a serious mood now." It's not enough, if Huo Xiangu sees you like this, she will definitely bully you."

Wu Xie looked at the people in front of him. Xiaoxun girl was obviously an eldest lady with a good background. Needless to say, Bai Hao was Xiaoxun's personal guard at first glance. Mengyou Ping was calmly beside Xiaoxun girl. He also looked like a very competent bodyguard, and the more he and the fat man looked at each other, the more they looked like the boss of a big boss.

Since we still have to wait for a while, Wu Xie and Fatty started to crack melon seeds and chat while waiting. I also grabbed a small handful of melon seeds and slowly ate and played with them.

The fat man saw that I was peeling off the melon seeds with my hands, so he said to me: "Just eat the fragrance, it's faster."

I shook my head and told him: "It's so uncomfortable to eat it with your teeth. If you don't get it, it will prick your mouth, spit out the skin, and waste your teeth. It's also very fast to peel it off by hand."

Watching Fatty and Wu Xie eat three plates of melon seeds without knowing it, I said to them: "You eat so much, aren't you afraid of getting angry?"

The fat man said angrily: "Melon seeds are free anyway, just use them as tea money." As he said this, he stared at the groups of people coming in at the door, and gradually his expression became a little... Feeling uncomfortable, Wu Xie asked him: "Why are you always distracted? What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

The fat man said: "Damn, this is so interesting."

Wu Xie looked in the direction he was looking and saw only a few well-maintained middle-aged women, so he said to him: "What's interesting? Have you seen beauties?"

The fat man glanced at the box above, then at the people at the tables below, and said, "Do you know who I saw just now?"

Wu Xie asked him: "Who?"

The fat man said softly: "Liu Lisun."

Wu Xie obviously didn't know very well and asked: "Who is Liu Lisun?"

The fat man said: "You don't know if you haven't been in BJ. This is a big man. His family runs an investment company overseas. I used to be a prostitute, but then I became a master for some reason. This guy's family is full of people." Baby, I don’t like ordinary things at all. Only the best ones will come out. In BJ City, he is a weather vane. Whichever auction he appears at, it means there are good goods. Damn it, he has two I haven’t appeared in three years, why are you here?”

The fat man could no longer sit still. Wu Xie felt a little itchy after hearing his words, and turned to look at Liu Lisun.

I have no interest in what Liuli Sun does, but when the fat man said this, he is not a simple person. The location is the Crescent Hotel, and it is Huo Xiangu and Liuli Sun. He is here, and Wu Xie is also here. I I was thinking, this must be a Hongmen Banquet, it doesn't feel very auspicious, I frowned as I thought about it.

Wu Xie looked at Liu Lisun. He was a little old man about sixty years old with a gray hair and playing with two walnuts in his hand. He was walking up to the second floor in a hurry. Wu Xie couldn't help but look at the two Lou has a little yearning.

The fat man continued: "Don't tell me, I just looked all the way here, and they are all people in this industry. We are in the right place. There is probably a good show to watch today, maybe it will be a rare one in a century. If it doesn't happen, you, Fatty, I will I can't stand it anymore, I have to find an auction manual to see what kind of treasures are being auctioned today." As he said that, he was about to get up.

Wu Xie said "Oh" and just wanted to remind him that our business was not to watch the fun, but the waiter on the side came over and said softly: "Guys, Mrs. Huo is here, please come upstairs."

As he spoke, the waiter bowed and made a gesture of invitation. His posture was very respectful, his expression was very upright, and there was no hint of flattery.

It seems that we don't have time to discuss and think, so we must get up and go over immediately. Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other, lowered their voices and squeezed out a sentence through their teeth: "Damn, I just looked at the door all the way, I didn't see anything. Come in, the old lady. It seems that the old lady has been on the second floor for a long time, waiting for us to come up. Maybe she sees every move we make here."

The fat man said: "This is a charlatanic trick, the purpose is to dampen our spirit. The old woman is not good at this."

Wu Xie said: "Although I am just a small boss of the second generation, I am the eldest grandson in the family. I am the third uncle in the third uncle's shop. People have always treated me with respect. No one dares to treat me like this. Too much This is so annoying." You could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone.

The fat man was naturally unhappy, and his face trembled. At this moment, another waiter came, coming from the other side. The waiter walked straight towards me and said, "Miss Zhang, there is a gentleman upstairs who wants to treat you." Go up."

The guy pointed me in the direction and then handed me a business card. I glanced at it and handed it back to Bai Hao.

Then the guy also made a very respectful gesture, and he looked at me worriedly, and I said to him: "Don't worry, it's okay, it's you guys, be careful, I'm afraid this is just the beginning. "I then said to the guy: "Then please lead the way." The guy walked in front, Bai Hao followed me, and we left towards the other side.

The fat man winked at the little brother: "Brother, don't worry, let's get into formation, and we have to give the innocent comrade a good show." After saying that, the three of them followed the guy up the stairs with their heads held high. The mouth is gone.
