Dragon Clan: No one wants me, Lu Mingfei.

Chapter 419: Xiao Mi, prepare for you, the big baby is coming

Lu Mingfei was depressed, extremely depressed.

When he was a child, he had seen others pulling the hair of the girl sitting in front of him countless times, deliberately provoking the girl to scold and blame her, but he had never experienced that himself.

It's not that he doesn't have the courage, it's simply that he is not familiar with the people, and most of the time, the guys sitting in the front row are those with buzz cuts.

With great difficulty, Eri was admitted to the school and was in the same class as him, and they even sat in front and behind each other. Of course, he wanted to try pulling... using Eri's hair to practice the braiding technique.

Unfortunately, Xia Di seemed to have seen through his thoughts and directly arranged Eiry at the last table.

"Damn it, Old Xia is such a bad guy, isn't he afraid that you won't be able to see the words on the blackboard if you sit so far back?" Before the bell rang and the teacher arrived, Lu Mingfei turned around and whispered to Eri:

"Besides, sitting in the back row, there are people coming and going. What if you get bumped into something by accident? How about I go and talk to the teacher later and ask you to switch seats with me?"

Upon hearing this, Eri shook her little head like a rattle. This was the perfect position that she had specifically requested from Xia Di.

You can poke the boy in the front row with a pencil or ruler whenever you want, just like in the cartoons, and you can also see the most familiar person as soon as you look up in this unfamiliar environment.

If she sat in front of Sakura, she would be uncomfortable seeing unfamiliar faces everywhere.

And her current position is perfect. She can stare at the back of Sakura's head and count his hair one by one along his whorls. She can expect him to suddenly turn around and smile at her or scare her. She can appreciate his handsome profile when he looks at the blackboard. As long as he is in her field of vision, she will feel at ease.

Therefore, it is best to sit behind Sakura.

"No, I want to sit behind Sakura!" The little red-haired witch said firmly, pressing her hands on the desk, leaving no room for negotiation.

"We agreed to call me by my name at school!" Lu Mingfei had been keeping an eye on Liu Yuning and the other funny guys. He knew they were eavesdropping. If he let them know that he had such a pink nickname, he would definitely be laughed at for a whole year.

"Da-me!" Eri crossed her hands in front of her body, blocking Lu Mingfei's thieving hand that was trying to pinch her face. Her rosy red eyes were full of smiles and pride:
"Mr. Magician said that the way middle school students express their closeness to their friends is to call them by their nicknames."

As she spoke, she didn’t know whether she was influenced by Xiao Long Nu or she had learned the cuteness skills on her own. She looked at Lu Mingfei pitifully and asked softly, “Sakura, we are best friends, right?”

This is a deadly statement!

Looking at the pair of glassy eyes that reflected his own figure clearly, Lu Mingfei couldn't say the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He could only put down his mischievous hands and nodded to his friends around him who all looked like "Oh~ So you are this kind of Lu Mingfei". He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Of course we are best friends."

The interaction between the two who thought it was covert actually did not escape the attention of other students in the class at all. After all, this was a transfer student sent by the generous school director himself, and she was so beautiful.

Compared to the undisguised gaze of transfer student number one, Su Xiaoqiang, Chen Wenwen was much more covert. She just raised her hand to support her cheek and looked out the window, as if she was thinking about life or considering which classic book to read tonight, but in fact her eyes were always drifting towards the back door of the classroom.

Seeing Lu Mingfei and Eiry shaking hands and interacting with each other physically, I suddenly felt a little anxious for no reason and wanted to know what the relationship between these two people was.

In fact, Zhao Menghua had always been paying attention to the two transfer students. As the son of the Zhao family, he knew that Su Xiaoqiang was the richest second-generation miner in the area. He also knew that she had a difficult temper, so he didn't pay too much attention to her.

After seeing Lu Mingfei getting along so well with the red-haired transfer student, his originally unhappy mood immediately disappeared. The envy, jealousy and hatred of "why are all the beautiful flowers planted on a pile of cow dung" instantly turned into joy of seeing the blue sky after the clouds had cleared.

Since Lu Mingfei already has someone in his heart, Chen Wenwen should not be so stubborn anymore, right?

There is no grass anywhere in the world, why should we have unrequited love for a flower?

Just as everyone in the class was whispering about the relationship between Lu Mingfei and Eili, a light cough interrupted the conversation between Lu Mingfei and Eili:

"Ahem, my two best friends, I know your friendship is unbreakable, but it's class time now. Could you please temporarily cool down your friendship that is about to boil and get ready for class?"

Everyone looked up and saw a handsome and wealthy head resting on the frosted window, looking down at the two people playing below with a smile.

Looking at that hideous handsome face and listening to the classmates' laughter, Lu Mingfei did not have any shyness or anger on his face. He just let go of Eri's arm, turned around calmly, took out his textbook, and sat up straight.

Didn’t you hear what the school director said, that his friendship with Eri is purely one of a kind?
I'd like to ask you, those love-brained people who are burdened with the curse of Shilan Middle School, to stop having these wild thoughts!

When the others saw that the school director had spoken, they also looked away and sat down obediently.

"Hello, Mr. Director~" Realizing that the prying eyes had disappeared, Eiry raised her head and gave Xia Dilu a silly smile, greeting him in an imperceptible voice.

Like Lu Mingfei, Xia Di also said not to call him Mr. Magician at school.

Compared to the hot-blooded fool Sakura, the image of the magician in Eri's heart is undoubtedly much taller, so she obediently followed Xia Di's instructions.

"Be good, I'll give you a little red flower as a reward." Xia Di came to the back door, took out a flower-shaped cake and handed it to Huili. He touched her head and whispered to her not to be seen by Lu Mingfei, otherwise he would come to snatch it away.

Lu Mingfei pricked up his ears and eavesdropped: "..."

To be honest, with his and Eiry's unbridled friendship, even if he didn't ask for it, Eiry would consciously give him half, right?
Now the labels of Eri’s game controllers have been changed to “Eri and Sakura’s game controllers”. Do you understand the value of this slogan?

Nothing went wrong with Eri's entrance ceremony, so Xia Di left with peace of mind.

He had an appointment today to meet Chu Zihang's stepfather, so he didn't stay in school for long and drove to the agreed hotel.

Although it was a bit inconsistent for him, a big shot with a net worth of more than ten zeros and all the money, power and fists, for him to drive himself every time he went out, there was nothing he could do. When Chu Tianjiao was having a picnic before, he almost had the thought "If you dare to let me drive for you, I'll quit my job" written on his face. So he could only give up with regret.

The best driver candidate rejected the offer, and the most handy long-legged girl was in a bad mood and went to the dormitory of Harvard Business School in North America for vacation, so the shooting of the new movie went at an unusually fast pace. The director and screenwriter received instructions from the largest investor and added a ten-minute crying scene of the gangster lady in the play.

Arriving at the most luxurious and top-level business club in the city, Xia Di casually threw the key to the doorman.

There is no hard and fast rule that prohibits entry if one is not dressed properly or is not upper-class. After all, those who dare to enjoy the services in a club whose decoration and location alone can scare away a lot of people are not ordinary people.

And Xia Di did not appear in a simple floral shirt, shorts and flip-flops as usual today, but changed into a decent suit. Although Xia's motto is "If someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one inch", Lu Tianming is the stepfather of his beloved disciple after all, and he has always respected him, so he must give him face.

The original time was noon, but Xia Di thought about it again and again, and felt that although he had accompanied Eri to eat lunch at school many times and this time would not matter, this was her first time on campus as a student after all, and as a parent he must be with her as much as possible.

Therefore, the time was changed temporarily, and lunch was changed to morning tea.

And because it was morning, the club had just opened for business, and Lu Tianming had booked the entire store, so there was no one else in the store except the dog owner who had been waiting for a long time.

In the box, Lu Tianming, who had a slicked-back hair and wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked like an elite monster, heard footsteps coming from outside the door. He nodded to the client to indicate that the real boss had arrived, then stood up and opened the door of the box before Xia Di knocked on it.

"Mr. Xia, long time no see."

"Boss Lu, you're too polite. Seeing how radiant you look, I guess business must be good recently."

The two shook hands and exchanged a few words at the door, and then Lu Tianming introduced to Xia Di his big client who had found the Han Dynasty antiques - Mr. Shao, the chairman of the Black Prince Group.

"Chairman Shao, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."

"No, no, Shao is just a businessman with a false reputation."

Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, the way they were being polite made it seem like it was the real deal.

It was the first time that Xia Di met the famous chairman of the Black Prince Group. He was a business legend who grew up from a village party secretary to the chairman of a mining group. His personal assets increased by millions of times in ten years. The superiors who used to boss him around now were proud to have eaten and drunk with him. He was a well-deserved celebrity.

It stands to reason that for a big taxpayer like him who even the new mayor would take the initiative to visit, as long as he reveals his desire to make friends with someone, then the other party, no matter who he is in or what unrelated industry he is in, will immediately find people to buy connections to contact him.

But he was particularly fond of a person who was only a director of Shilan Middle School and a writer of some fame. He even asked someone to find connections and send an invitation to invite him.

If this matter were to get out, I'm afraid a lot of people would be shocked.

But Chairman Shao knew that if those people knew Xia Di’s true identity, their jaws would drop to the ground and make big holes in the bricks and stones.

"I am ashamed to say that I should have visited Mr. Xia a long time ago, but the Black Prince Group has been in a state of turmoil recently, so I really can't spare the time."

After the three of them sat down, Chairman Shao was about to drink three cups as a punishment to express his apology, but was stopped by Xia Di.

"Don't be so polite. Old Xia is not the kind of person who advocates drinking culture. If you have something to say, just say it. If not, let's exchange business cards and leave. My child has just started school today, so you have to keep a close eye on him and don't let the little bastards bully him."

"Well... Mr. Xia is really decisive and efficient." In the past, others would force Chairman Shao to drink to death to please him. This time, he took the initiative to toast but was rejected mercilessly. However, he did not feel any resentment. After all, he was also an old father who doted on his children and could understand Xia Di's feelings.

Of course, the main reason was Xia Di’s identity. Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to show any displeasure.

"It's like this. I've received so much care from you before, but I've never been able to give you anything in return, which makes me feel quite guilty." When Chairman Shao said this, he recalled everything that happened after Haodaer met Xia Di.

First, the Chen family fell, and the director named Chen, who had been secretly trying to seize more power, died unexpectedly. Later, he acquired Shilan Middle School and some corporate assets that quickly fell apart when some bosses died suddenly and no one took over. He felt that his eldest son had really met a noble person.

It's a pity that I forced my eldest son to go abroad. Now it would be too deliberate to bring him back and make him a follower of the little girl who changed her surname to Xia. I can only do it slowly in the future.

He took out a stack of photos from his briefcase, placed them on the table and handed them to Xia Di, saying with a hint of amazement, "What a coincidence! This time when I went out with Mr. Lu for an inspection, I accidentally found an antique. I heard that Mr. Xia would be interested in it, so I planned to give it to you."

"Oh, then I'd like to see what it is." Xia Di looked at the stack of photos with a smile on his face. Sometimes, in order to preserve freshness, he seldom took the initiative to observe other people's inner thoughts, so he was really looking forward to what big surprise these two people would give him.

The photo shows a brass jar covered with strange patterns. Judging from the objects next to it, this big jar is at least as tall as a soldier and as wide as two soldiers.

The photos did not record how the antique dealer that Chairman Shao and Lu Tianming met dug out the brass jar, but there was a photo showing a half-exposed construction ship working on the wide river, with a huge crane lifting a huge metal jar from the turbid river water.

"Emmmm..." Xia Di looked at the photo, stroking his chin, not knowing what to say. Finally, under the eager gaze of Lu Tianming and Chairman Shao, he squeezed out a sentence righteously:

"It is illegal to buy and sell antiques privately. Take my advice and turn yourself in.

Strive for leniency and don’t let your wife and children cry.”

As a senior consultant of the Dragon Group, Xia Di has the responsibility and obligation to uphold the law and system. Once such acts of tomb robbing and selling stolen goods are discovered, they must be dealt with severely. The fact that he was not arrested on the spot was purely because they were acquaintances, and he was given a chance to reduce his crime.

When the two bosses saw his look of "I'm not pretending anymore, I'm telling you, I'm a policeman", they both understood that the other party had seen through their disguise.

Yes, after all, Xia Di is one of the founders of the Dragon Group, and the power he possesses is beyond their imagination. It is pure fantasy to fool him with such far-fetched rhetoric.

So the two of them did not hide it and said directly: "Mr. Xia really has sharp eyes. Since you have already seen it, we will not hide it too much. The thing is this..."

According to Lu Tianming's narration, he and Chairman Shao went to the Yangtze River Basin to inspect a water conservancy project, but encountered an unexpected accident. They accidentally discovered an underwater ancient city and accidentally ran into the legendary river monster. After escaping by chance, they accidentally picked up this brass jar.

Because of the strange incident, they issued a gag order to everyone and paid hush money. They hurried back with the brass jar, wanting to hand the thing over to Xia Di, a professional.

Originally, they thought that since Xia Di would not reveal his true identity, they might as well play along with him. However, halfway through the play, this guy simply stopped pretending, and they had no choice but to give up their original plan. They changed from being a businessman who colluded with each other in exchange for benefits to being conscientious businessmen who returned the lost money to the country.

Well, it all comes down to one sentence: it's all Xia Di's fault.

If it weren't for his bad taste, they wouldn't have to pretend.

"Alright, you've passed." Xia Di picked up the photo and patted his palm gently, asking them to deliver the things to his house downstairs as soon as possible. Then he didn't bother to talk nonsense with the two guys who were still hiding something, so he just stood up and left.

When he got in the car, Xia Di rubbed his hands, with a perverted smile on his face:
"Hey, Xiao Mi, it happened suddenly, but the big baby that uncle prepared for you is coming~"
