Xia Wan, who returned to the hotel with Shuang Xing early, just opened the door when he saw the doctor standing in front of the huge French window in a daze.
At this time, the night was not dense enough, and the lights in front of the window were even more brightly lit, reflecting that the doctor's already slender figure shrouded in a black robe became thinner and thinner.
At this time of weekdays, the doctor should still be working hard in front of the desk, but today he spends his precious time in a daze like a rare vacation.
Feeling a little puzzled by this, Xia Wan walked slowly to the doctor, took a panoramic view of the scenery she saw, and asked softly: "What's the matter? Did you not have a pleasant talk with Markowitz?"
Xia Wan still remembered that today was the day when the doctor had dinner with Markowitz, the spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce. She would behave so abnormally, and the only possibility was that she did not meet expectations during the dinner.
Moreover, the discussion at the dinner did not appear in the plot, it was only mentioned once in a few words, so Xia Wan didn't know what the doctor and Markowitz talked about.
Hearing her voice, the doctor turned his head, his ruby-like eyes rested on her under his pale and withered bangs, and he shook his head with a complicated expression: "No, don't say it's unpleasant, it's just... ...It went beyond imagination, and he has agreed to arrange a meeting with some high-level members of the Chamber of Commerce for me."
"Isn't this going well, why do you look a little...disappointed?"
What she wanted to say was confusion, but now the doctor looks like a child who can't find the way forward, and the firmness in those red eyes is no longer the same.
But the word "confused" should definitely not appear now when things are going very smoothly.
"Disappointed...is it?"
The doctor accepted this inappropriate description after a short hesitation, and then sighed softly: "Maybe it's just disappointment, Markowitz, under his humble and kind appearance, I see unstoppable ambition, Or the desire to survive, he is cautious and struggling, but he strives for change—I can only be sure of one thing now, that is, we can cooperate deeply with him, we can get what we want, and he can also get what he wants Importantly, at least compared to other speakers, he is the one who is the most suitable partner."
"That sounds...really contradictory."
Xia Wan's understanding of Markowitz is limited to the plot of the game. Even because of this, she knows many things that the doctor can't see, but it is the same reason. Her understanding cannot be compared with those who have actually talked with Markowitz twice. compared to Dr.
I can only sigh secretly in my heart, the doctor actually accurately grasped Markowitz's character through two conversations.
Yes, just like what the doctor said, the Markowitz that Xia Wan learned through the plot of the game is such a contradictory character.
He has just become a spokesperson, and he left the middle and lower classes of Casimir and entered the elite class not long ago. This makes Markowitz full of human touch, or it is the way of thinking and feelings that normal people would have, the most easy to understand His performance is kindness and humility, and he always places his position very low. However, on the other hand, this also makes him extremely cautious in all his actions, for fear that if he makes a wrong move, he will lose everything.
At the same time, the power brought by the position of spokesperson made him happy, and then aroused the ambition hidden in his heart——as another spokesperson described him in the plot: "This There is an almost natural aura about someone who failed to start a business a few months ago and achieved nothing.
Although that was not yet, the current Markowitz should not have shown that kind of aura, but the doctor has already seen the ambition hidden in his heart, and he has to admire this ability to judge people.
"People are contradictory, if we are better for him --- show him a better choice while his humility and kindness have not faded, not just in this Cavaliers special During the competition, we can maintain more in-depth cooperation in the future; if not, then he will abandon us without hesitation. In this regard, Markowitz is no different from other spokespersons of the Chamber of Commerce and other businessmen. He will not do things for us that seem to have no benefit and may endanger himself, including arranging for me to meet with the high-level business association, because he believes that Rhode Island and I can reach a cooperation with those people, This will make his status in the Chamber of Commerce even higher."
This is the source of the doctor's disappointment, but she is not only disappointed. She has seen what kind of person Markowitz is, and she is holding the rein. This is a good thing for future cooperation.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that in the subsequent plots, the doctor will show a close and cooperative attitude towards Markowitz, not only showing enough trust, but also reminding him all the time that Rhodes Island can give him and Cassie Mill brings more than that.
In terms of business dealings and intrigue, Xia Wan is not good at such things at all, so she can't find any faults, she can only believe that things will develop as in the plot.
Fortunately, the doctor hasn't seen it yet, but Xia Wan is very clear that one of the reasons why Markowitz wants to change Kasimir's situation with regard to the situation of the infected is the infected who are swallowed up by the roaring city.
As long as this remains unchanged, the cooperation between Rhodes Island and Markowitz will not be broken so easily.
But let's not talk about these things.
What Xia Wan refers to, she still has one thing to deal with, not Markowitz.
Chapter 160 VII
Two cups of warm milk are placed on the coffee table, and gradually, even the air is mixed with a little sweet fragrance, together with the freshly lit one from the perfumer, which can effectively relieve tension and relax The fragrance of the mind, the whole room is immersed in a sea of fragrance.
The sweetness of the milk and the floral aroma of the incense are just right, and it has the expected effect.
Xia Wan sat in a corner of the sofa, looked down at the milk in the glass in front of her, the lingering steam rising, thought for a long time in her heart, and tried to speak several times but was forced back.
All these things she did, preparing the incense and milk, tried her best to create an environment where people could speak out what was in their hearts without the burden, but they got stuck at the most critical place.
Should it be said that these things can only play an auxiliary role after all, or should she say that this matter is much more difficult than she imagined.
For a moment, the room was filled with silence that shouldn't have appeared.
Sitting opposite, the doctor who sat here obediently obeyed the arrangement looked a little strangely at the burning incense not far away and the two glasses of milk in front of them, then looked at the silent Xia Wan hesitated for a while and broke the silence first: "...Didn't you say you wanted to change to a more relaxed environment? Why don't you look relaxed? It's today Wasn't the result of the training match with Linguang not ideal?"
The doctor couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Xia Wan's gourd. Under normal circumstances, she didn't have the leisure and elegance to toss about incense or specially ask the hotel service to bring milk.
Under that exquisite and perfect appearance, there is a heart that is not emotional, and only things related to appearance are worthy of her extreme enthusiasm.
Moreover, this incense always reminded the doctor of the room where the honeyberry was used as a psychological counseling room, and there was a similar fragrance there.
Maybe this question had an effect, or Xia Wan finally gritted her teeth and made a decision. She sighed softly and asked, "No, the results of the training match are very remarkable. Compared with this, Doctor, the two God, how are you doing?"
"Me?" Frowning in surprise, the doctor had a bad premonition in his heart, and even the posture of sitting on the sofa in a relaxed manner was a little stiff, and it took a long time before he asked back with a dumbfounded smile: "Why do you ask so much?" ?Since your black box was destroyed, you never seem to have asked me these things."
In the past, during the year they spent together, the meticulous care Xia Wan showed, those sweet words were all illusions, the real Xia Wan was neither so perfect nor had an inextricable affection for herself, the black box was destroyed Afterwards, the doctor saw it early on, and she wouldn't blame Xia Wan for this, it was something she decided to accept.
Mentioning it now is just to confirm Xia Wan's intentions, that's what makes her restless.
"I heard that you are receiving honeyberry's psychological counseling... In the medical certificate, there are many... problems caused by me."
It has been fulfilled at this time.
Even though Xia Wan tried to use less direct wording, the meaning has not changed.
This is the last thing the doctor wants Xia Wan to know. She is very clear that all her diagnoses and cases are Rhode Island's top secrets. Xia Wan has no access to them, so she will seek help when she has to. help.
But, however, there are always some channels that can be learned without direct contact, especially for Xia Wan, it is not difficult for her to know these. The question is, who made her aware of it.
Realize that my problems are about her, everything, about her.
"...Did Amiya tell you? You talked to her, what did she tell you?"
The slightly flustered doctor did not notice that his face had become a little gloomy, nor did he notice that his tone was getting irritable, which made Xia Wan more determined.
What Amiya said is true. The doctor’s psychological problems are caused by her. In other words, things will become like this. The doctor will show strong dependence on her, no, it should be said that Possessiveness, the difficulty of restraining one's emotions when stimulated, all have something to do with her.
As the saying goes, to untie the bell, one must tie the bell. Amiya is right. Whether it is to make the doctor get the punishment he deserves, or to give the doctor a hand, there is no more suitable person than her, and she should do it Deal with it, rather than leave things hanging, unresolved, as they are now.
Therefore, Xia Wan will be here to talk about this issue: "No one told me, doctor, it's just that I feel that you have been in a bad state recently... since what happened the other night, so go Looked into it ... that's not the point, the point is, I think we should talk about it."
"...Because of too much pressure recently, there are those problems. I will deal with them. Whether it is counseling or therapy, I will deal with them. Among the things you have investigated, there may be some coincidences. It's just a coincidence, my problem has nothing to do with you, I..."
"Doctor, you are not good at lying."
No matter how negative it is, the answer is already obvious.
From Xia Wan's words, from her expression, from her pink eyes that looked at her unbiasedly, there is such a message.
It's not that the doctor is not good at lying, it's just that this matter is too sharp.
Silence, compromise.
In other words, accept fate.
After a long silence, the doctor finally didn't look for excuses that could be pierced at a glance, but looked away as if discouraged, sighed, and asked: "So... what do you want?" what about?"
This is a problem for the doctor. Xia Wan, who is the core conflict, is obviously not a good person to discuss. In front of her, the doctor is not sure what he can say.
This is also a problem for Xia Wan. She doesn't have a certificate related to psychology, and she doesn't know anything about this kind of professional treatment. All she can rely on is the past experience of communicating with operators who also have mental illness.
Fortunately, no one expected a single conversation to completely solve the problem. Although what Xia Wan can provide is a very crucial help, it is only a help. If you want to solve the problem, you still have to look at the follow-up psychological treatment and Dr. himself.
The night is getting darker, the incense is burned out, and the milk has turned from warm to cold, but the fragrance lingers for a long time. Even the gravel standing in the corridor can smell the fragrance overflowing from the crack of the door, and then , a faint smile appeared on his expressionless face.
Chapter 160 Eight Betting
The day of the duel between the Bright Knight and the Candle Knight.
Since early in the morning, the Grand Knights have been in a period of jubilation. Not only the hotel guests, but also the infected knights in the infected storage facility are discussing which of them is stronger. Weak, who will win in the end.
The big knight duel that appeared for the first time in this special championship is also a duel between the previous champions with various rumors and the popular traffic in recent years. It is normal that the topic will be so high.
Fortunately, the competition was held in the evening when there were the most spectators. If it had been during the daytime, the entire Great Knights Territory might have been shut down for a day.
This is not an exaggeration. After showing his face in the containment facility for infected people, Xia Wan slipped out early with Frost Star, eight of the ten sentences he heard along the way were related to tonight's game , there are also some people who are blushing because of the argument about who is strong and who is weak, and even those big and small in the big knight collar, all the big screens that can be seen, have been replaced by the bright knight and the candle knight Photo.
"...It's really boring. Is the battle between people such a beautiful thing?"
Shuang Xing's evaluation was as spicy as ever. She couldn't accept the same noise that she could hear everywhere she went. She even bought earplugs on the side of the road and stuffed her ears tightly. Even the long ears on the top of her head I didn't let it go, but there was still a little bit of penetration.
This is of course, after all, Xia Wan took her to the most popular place of this topic, a knight arena.
You can see those strong knights everywhere in the knight arena, and their voices are much louder than ordinary audiences, even the busiest vegetable market in the early morning can't compare to the noise here.
Compared with these noises, Frost Star is more puzzled about Xia Wan's intention to come here. Although she is a little happy to be able to hold hands and go shopping from the beginning of the day, she shouldn't choose the knight competition that has nothing to do with them at the first stop. field.
Seeing that Xia Wan paid a considerable amount of admission fee and was mixed into the venue by the raging crowd, Shuang Xing finally couldn't bear it any longer. He leaned over her ear and asked, "What are you doing here? Are we not Are you going to meet... those infected people in Plot Zero?"
"Don't worry, it's still early, and we still have time to finish lunch comfortably."
Xia Wan said so, with a bright smile on the corner of her mouth.
At first glance, it looks like the other spectators around, but Shuang Xing knows that Xia Wan will not be the kind of person who is happy because she can watch the game, or because of tonight's game, she will laugh like this, there must be something OTHER REASONS - Yes, this one quickly surfaced.
They shuttled through the crowd, and Xia Wan quickly found the target, leading Shuang Xing to the end of a long line.
In the distance, one can vaguely see this --- in front of several long dragons around, there are several counters that handle certain affairs.
Gradually, almost all spectators who paid the entrance fee joined the long queues.
As a matter of course, there were not many knight competitions in broad daylight, and there was another big event tonight, so no one would be foolish enough to arrange the competition today.
Then, the reason why so many spectators are still willing to pay the entrance fee in this knight arena is because of these counters.
"Hello, I want to buy Yao Knight."
Xia Wan took out all her savings, and the remaining part of Rhodes Island's salary this year will be a large stack of Longmen coins on the counter.
"Okay, please confirm your identity information."
After the staff at the counter simply confirmed Xia Wan's identity, they took all the Longmen coins on the counter. Seeing this, even if Shuang Xing had never been in contact with such a thing, he understood what Xia Wan was doing.
The legal handicap jointly established by Casimir officials, the Chamber of Commerce and the Cavaliers Association was the reason for most of the audience present and Xia Wan.
Now that the outcome has been known for a long time, there is no way she would give up this opportunity to win a fortune in one fell swoop. Xia Wan still remembers the helplessness in her heart when she saw those amazingly expensive goods on the black market in Xiaoqiu County.
Of course, in addition to these legal markets, the odds of those private and illegal markets will be higher, but if you want to bet on those markets, you need a recommendation, like Xia Wan who is not familiar with the place Tourists, it is better to choose legal handicap.
Frost Star is not opposed to Xia Wan's participation in this kind of thing, but she was surprised that Xia Wan would also participate in this kind of thing. After thinking for a while, Xia Wan received a series of written words from the staff in Xia Wan. Terms and proofs, documents with legal effect, when I was about to leave, I asked: "...Are you short of money?"
"Huh? It's not very short, but it's better than nothing, right?"
Money is something that can never be too much.
Perhaps living on the frozen soil of Ursas for many years, Frost Star doesn't have a normal concept of money, but she also understands this principle: "...that's true."
Then, she also followed Xia Wan, and put all her belongings --- the first month's salary prepaid by Rhodes Island on the counter in order to facilitate her receiving activities in the Great Knight: "Buy Yao Yao Knight. "
She never doubted Xia Wan's judgment. Since Xia Wan said that Yao Knight would win, Yao Knight would definitely win, so she didn't hesitate when placing her bet.Although she doesn't know how much money she has, nor what the current odds are.
Then, in just a few minutes, the two who had spent all the Dragon Gate Coins on their bodies left the Knight Arena.
It wasn't until she returned to the crowded street and saw the restaurants on the street that Xia Wan suddenly remembered something extremely important. She blinked, turned her head and said to Frost Star beside her: "... ...Oops, I seem to have forgotten to leave money for the meal."
"...Don't look at me, I don't have any money." Shuang Xing gave Xia Wan a helpless look, and snorted softly: "Forget it, if you don't eat a meal, you won't starve to death. It's better to say that, let's directly Go to Lot Zero."
For Frost Star, it is common for a hungry meal to be a full meal. On the frozen soil, there is a restaurant waiting for them to visit before the meal time. The summer evening is similar. She has a small appetite, and sometimes she does not eat Not much difference.
However, when they go to Lot Zero does not depend on whether they eat or not, Xia Wan shook her head and denied, "No, it's useless to go now."
Then he frowned and pondered for a while, then pulled Shuang Xing back to the hotel the same way.
It shouldn't be very difficult to advance Amiya's salary for several months.
Chapter 160 IX Stalking
Back at the hotel, Xia Wan successfully asked Amiya to advance a month's salary, which avoided the embarrassing situation of being penniless all day today. However, because of such an extra accident, they could only I hurriedly found a restaurant on the side of the road to fill my stomach, and then rushed to the next destination.
On the day of the showdown between Yao Knight and Candle Knight, Maria was hijacked by the Unarmed Alliance on the way to the "Terror Martin" bar, but the game plot did not specify the specific time point, and even whether she was in the daytime or The robbery at night is not clear, the only thing that can be sure is that before the situation of the game becomes clear and the Yao Knight wins, the hijacking incident has come to an end. With help, he managed to escape back to the bar.
Therefore, Xia Wan had to adopt the most stupid method——waiting in front of Linguang's house.
Similar to the Wuzhen League, squatting at the door of Maria's house and waiting for her to go out.
Maybe you can see her figure appearing in the field of vision in the next second, or you may have to wait until the sun goes down. No matter what kind of job you are in, stalking is the most boring thing. I have a deep understanding.
Fortunately, Xia Wan usually acts alone, but now at least there is one more person to chat with.
Although, it is said to be a chat, in fact, she is mostly answering questions.
"Why are we waiting here? Isn't that the one who came here last night... the house of the Yao knight, instead of hiding in the bushes, why don't you just go in?"
