Hearing this, Paimeng put his hand on his chin in confusion, as if he wanted to think carefully.
Just when she was trying to guess something from Zhongli's words.
"Pah!"
A hand was placed on her shoulder.
"Paimeng is thinking about something, Su Mo, what's the matter?"
Paimeng subconsciously looked at Su Mo.
Except for Su Mo and Ying, no one would touch her on their own initiative.
However, after casting her eyes, she immediately noticed.
Both Su Mo and Ying were sitting well in their seats, with their hands in visible positions.
And both of them looked at her...
No, it was something behind her.
After noticing this, Paimeng panicked and immediately turned back stupidly.
Then——
"Scare!"
A milky white ghost face that quickly approached and a crisp strange cry immediately scared Paimeng.
"Woo wow!"
Looking at this thing in front of him, it was translucent like a soul, like a ghost.
After Paimong screamed, he immediately hid behind Su Mo and Ying without looking back, his eyes closed, as if not seeing could give him a sense of security.
"Su Mo! Ying! Save me! That, that's a ghost!"
Looking at the trembling Paimong, Ying and Su Mo both showed some funny expressions, and then looked in the direction of the person coming.
"It's not a ghost! I'm Hu Tao, the 77th generation head of the Wangsheng Hall! I'm sorry to scare you!"
In the meantime, a beautiful girl like a fire butterfly, dressed in black, with dazzling white skin and long hair, was putting her hands together and bowing to apologize to Su Mo, Paimong and others.
"I'm sorry, I thought you big guys should pick up a lot of things and won't be scared."
After apologizing, Paimong was still a little nervous.
The girl with plum blossom eyes stuck out her tongue and bowed her head again to apologize very sincerely.
Seeing her like this, Su Mo shook his head.
"Ying and I weren't scared. Just let Paimeng accept your apology."
Su Mo doted on Paimeng, but he didn't do it to the extent that he couldn't accept a prank.
However, he wouldn't take over and forgive the other party on behalf of Paimeng.
Since Hu Tao scared Paimeng, Su Mo wouldn't mind as long as Paimeng was willing to forgive her.
Ying on the other side also nodded and agreed with Su Mo's opinion.
Then, she hugged Paimeng with a bit of amusement and moved her hands that covered her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, this is a human!"
"But speaking of it, didn't Paimeng see a ghost and play games with Xiao Ming before in Wangshu Inn? Why is he so timid now?"
After hearing her say this, Paimeng let go of his hands and opened his eyes.
After seeing Hu Tao in front of him and the white object behind Hu Tao, he patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Anyone would be scared if they suddenly saw this thing!"
She said with a righteous look.
"Sorry, sorry!"
Hu Tao saluted quickly.
"It was wrong of me to scare you just now. What do you want me to do to forgive me?"
Although she has the habit of playing pranks, she is not a naughty child and still has a sense of responsibility.
Since Su Mo said that she only needs to compensate Paimeng, she will naturally do it.
She will not treat Paimeng as a pet or a child and ignore her personal will.
Paimeng also heard what Su Mo said.
Although she was a little scared, she naturally forgave Hu Tao in her heart when she saw her sincere look at this moment, but it is not her style not to blackmail such a good opportunity.
·· ····Please flowers· ······
"You dare to threaten Paimeng, I must teach you a lesson!"
Paimeng said with his arms crossed after thinking for a while.
"Well, I'll punish you by treating Paimeng to a meal at Xinyuexuan... No, three meals! Paimeng will forgive you!"
When it comes to Xinyuexuan, Paimeng wants to drool.
I've been eating a lot at Wanmintang recently.
Although Xiangling and Master Mao's dishes are also very good, she has long wanted to try the rumored best restaurant in Liyue, but unfortunately Su Mo and Ying have never had time to take her there.
Hearing Paimeng's unreasonable request.
Ying, who is like a master and a mother, sighed, put one hand on her forehead, and was about to teach Paimeng a lesson, telling her not to take advantage of the fire.
..... ....... ...
A meal at Xinyuexuan is already very expensive.
Not to mention, with Paimeng's appetite, one meal can be equivalent to five meals for ordinary people.
Just being scared, such an apology is sincere enough.
And Paimeng is even more unreasonable and wants three meals.
It's a bit too much.
However, before she said anything,
Hu Tao, who was standing by, patted her chest and agreed directly.
"No problem, not to mention three meals, ten meals are no problem."
"Really?!"
Seeing her generous look, Paimon's eyes suddenly shone with gold.
She had long forgotten the unpleasantness that had frightened her before.
She broke free from Ying's arms and flew in front of Hu Tao, patting Hu Tao's shoulder in a familiar manner.
"Rich man! Paimon thinks that we have the fate to be friends!"
Seeing her cheerful and silly look, it was obvious that she thought it would be very convenient to have a rich man as a friend.
Hu Tao naturally saw Paimeng's plan, but she didn't care about it, but nodded with a smile.
"I also think we have the possibility of becoming friends. I'm really sorry for scaring you before."
Even though Paimeng had forgiven her, she still apologized again seriously.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Paimeng, who was blinded by money, had already forgotten about that little thing and tilted his head to ask the rich friend he just met.
"So, you are the person that Zhongli said would be troublesome to refuse?" Enter.
Chapter 616
Hearing Paimeng's words.
Zhongli's eyes twitched and he felt something was wrong.
Unfortunately, Hu Tao had heard it clearly at this time.
"Oh, so this is Mr. Zhongli's evaluation of me!"
He looked at the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall he hired with a playful look.
Hu Tao tapped his chin with his white fingers and said thoughtfully.
"Speaking of which, the number of expense reports from the Rebirth Hall seems to have increased dramatically recently. Shouldn't we conduct a strict review?"
She seemed to be talking about something unrelated to the present.
But Zhongli's face changed after hearing it.
He had always used the expense reports from the Rebirth Hall as a universal card for paying bills.
Although most daily necessities are recorded in the accounts of the Northern Bank in Dartalia.
But there are also many things in the expense reports from the Rebirth Hall that are not easy to talk about.
Hu Tao's words just happened to hit his soft spot.
"Ahem!"
After clearing his throat, Zhongli, who understood the current situation, immediately changed his words.
"Master Hu Tao is eccentric, and has quite a lot of whimsical ideas. He is lively and cheerful, and has his own principles. He can be called a great man of the time."
"I think a traveler with broad knowledge like Mr. Su Mo may have a lot in common with Master Hu Tao. It's rare to meet each other. Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea together?"
Looking at Zhongli's appearance, his face remained unchanged.
But it gave people the feeling that he was an old father who wanted to take the opportunity to marry his daughter off because his daughter had found his weakness.
He immediately turned Hu Tao's attention to Su Mo.
Hu Tao, who was quite sensible, naturally saw Zhong Li's plan.
However, she didn't intend to really care about Zhong Li's reimbursement behavior, and she was really interested in Su Mo, so she immediately came over.
"Since Mr. Zhongli said so, you two should not mind me sitting here, right?"
She replied with a smile.
Ying and Su Mo naturally had no objection. Paimeng, who was promised ten meals, completely forgot that he was scared and regarded Hu Tao as a rich local tyrant friend.
A table of four people, plus Paimeng flying in the air, was considered full.
Looking at the lively Hongmei girl beside him.
Su Mo felt a sense of familiarity in his heart and spoke calmly.
"Although Master Hu Tao scared Paimeng just now, ten times of Xinyuexuan is too much of a price. In fact, three times is already a lion's mouth."
Su Mo did not intend to cover up for Paimeng's greed, but said it openly.
"It is obviously an inappropriate compensation, but Master Hu Tao agreed without any care. There are only two possibilities in this situation."
"The first possibility is also the biggest possibility in the general sense."
"It is the commission mentioned by Zhongli before. If you can earn a hundred or even a thousand tons of Xinyuexuan from this commission, you will naturally not care about the price of ten tons."
If it is for greater benefits, it is very likely to do such a thing.
No matter how eccentric he is, as the master of Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao is also a businessman and will not do business at a loss.
After hearing Su Mo's speculation, Ying and Paimeng on the side cast curious eyes.
"As expected of the honorary knight who defeated the Wind Demon Dragon, you are really sharp!"
Hu Tao did not intend to hide it. After seeing Su Mo reveal his purpose, she immediately laughed happily and said very frankly.
"In fact, the reason why I asked Mr. Zhongli to find you is indeed related to a business."
"Business?"
Hearing this, Paimeng was a little confused.
"But, Hu Tao, aren't you the head of the Wangsheng Hall? What business can you discuss with Su Mo?"
