Saturday is coming.

Qingyi got up late. He has always consciously adhered to his work and rest time, but there have been too many things recently, which has made him overdrawn, so he has been sleeping until 9 o'clock in the morning, and if it weren't for a phone call that suddenly disturbed his dream, he could sleep for another hour.

"Hey, hello?" Qingyi yawned, rubbed his eyes to look at the caller ID, and when he saw that it was the phone at home, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he changed to Chinese: "What's the matter?" ”

"Is your visa expiring?"

"I'm renewing."

"Are you going to live in the U.S. for the rest of your life?"

"Hmm."

"Is Qingming coming back?"

"Not coming back."

"Go home early."

"Hmm."

"Do you hear that?"

"I hear you."

"So be it."

With a beep, the phone hung up.

Qingyi suddenly found that whether he called or the other party called, the other party always hung up the phone. Even if the man is old, he must take the initiative and decide when to end the conversation.

Yes? Is he old? When did he get old?

Qingyi was suddenly a little confused. He thought back and forth, looking for evidence of the other party's aging. No, before he went abroad, Dad didn't feel old at all, he still looked like a lion, he still looked like a tiger, and he was still a calm and ferocious king of beasts. His voice was normal, short and cold, without any sense of exhaustion, and perhaps he wouldn't be able to exhaust himself after a marathon.

Go home early? ……

Qingyi was suddenly shocked.

In the four phone calls since the "Doomsday Encounter", he heard "go home early" four times. Because Dad's tone is so blunt, that Qingyi always ignores this kind of vulgar lines that only appear in soap operas! If this is a polite sentence, does Dad need to say it four times? It's too weak! His attitude towards himself is not "you are left to fend for yourself", right? Why would you let yourself go back? Old! Zhang Yansong, you're old!

"Disgusting." Qingyi frowned deeply, he really hoped that he had guessed wrong. In any case, it is impossible and should not show the weak side of that man. However, he soon had a twitch in his throat and a nausea — he remembered that his brother had also called him before the Chinese New Year. What the hell! We need this disgusting warm play?! Our relationship is more like the kind of gangster revenge movie, right?

Why do they want to go back on their own? Are snipers and encirclements arranged?

So do you really want to go back?

No, never!

Qingyi felt that it was time for him to see a psychiatrist again. It just so happened that the time to receive treatment from Dr. House was in the afternoon. That's when the phone rang again. Qingyi glanced at it, it was black sharp.

"Hello?"

"Who I called just now, I didn't get through!" Li Mo's tone was not good, as if Qingyi deliberately made it impossible for others to get through.

"Uh, what's the matter with you?" Qingyi naturally wouldn't say that it was his father's call, and he still felt that the call just now was very unreal. Haven't you woken up yet?

"It must be a phone call with your girlfriend, right! Haha, I found out! ”

"Get down to business! Or I'll hang up! ”

"Oh? ~Someone is annoyed and embarrassed—"

Qingyi quickly hung up the phone.

More than ten seconds later, the phone rang frantically. As soon as Qingyi picked up the microphone, Li Mo shouted from inside: "I really hung up the phone by relying on you!" I'm a good person, otherwise you'd have been deposed! ”

"I'm hanging up again." Qingyi frowned.

"Well, you win! Is it like this, you didn't come over last weekend? After learning egg fried rice, I crossed the river and demolished the bridge, didn't I? ”

Qingyi thought for a while and said, "Oh, I was in Qinli Villa at that time, and I didn't have time. ”

"You war maniac! Coming to Chinatown today? ”

"I wasn't going to go out." Qingyi replied naturally, after all, he rarely went out for things other than his studies before. He felt that the other end of the phone was about to make a big noise again, so he quickly added a few more words: "But now, you can go or not." ”

"Come on here! At noon today, Moxianglou held a family banquet, with dumplings and rice cakes! ”

Qingyi's spirit perked up: "Okay, I'll come!" Don't put mustard in dumplings! ”

"You think beautifully! How can it be cheap for a taste idiot like you! ”

After laughing and scolding for a while, Qingyi hung up, dressed neatly and went out.

————————————————————————————————————

After Qingyi came to Moxiang Building, a waiter led him to the box on the second floor. The heating in the Moxiang Building is turned on, and every waiter can still wear a charming cheongsam, which ensures that it is eye-catching.

Pushing open the door, Qingyi heard the sound of music rolling in, and Li Mo's howl could almost pierce the eardrums. In addition to the black sharp edge, there are about a dozen people here, young people gathered at the karaoke machine, while a few older ones sit at the dining table drinking tea and eating peanuts, and four people are washing mahjong in a hurry.

"Hey, you're here!" Li Mo threw the microphone, walked to Qingyi's side, and amplified his voice with a smile: "I'll introduce it to you!" This is also our compatriot brother, named Zhang Qingyi! He is amazing, he is a top student who graduated from Harvard Business School, and now he is working as a manager in Little Bee Express! Several of our current businesses are kindly sold by him! ”

So the young people all called "Brother Zhang is good", while the older ones repeatedly said "Boss Zhang is good" to Qingyi, which made him a little embarrassed.

The stereo was turned off, and everyone took their seats.

"You sit here!" Li Mo sat down in the first place with a big grin, and pulled Qingyi to his right, and then asked someone to serve the food.

After a while, the dishes were served like water, and the waiter also scooped soup and poured wine for everyone. Because the U.S. bans all wildlife trafficking (and this is entirely for Chinese restaurants), this pot of soup is just a simple stewed black chicken with ginseng, no pangolins and no civet cats; The wine is the second pot head of the red star, and Qingyi feels that the world is spinning just by looking at it a few times. The rest of the dishes are full of color and flavor, and even the most ordinary fried dumplings are shiny and shiny, which is very tempting.

Li Mo stood up with his wine glass (everyone stood up one after another), and said with full of energy: "Today, our Xinglong Express has a family banquet here. We've been working together for so long, and we're not a family, but we're better than a family! Everyone worked hard last year, and I, Li Mo, am here to toast everyone, hoping that everyone will have a job and make a fortune in the new year! ”

"Happy New Year!" "Wishing you prosperity!" Everyone said auspicious words, and drank all the wine with red faces.

Qingyi drank Erguotou for the first time, and was choked with tears, but several old drunkards had already refilled their glasses with wine bottles, which showed the gap between the two sides. Then, to put it mildly, all dishes were scrambled by more than a dozen pairs of chopsticks, and the table was clean in a while.

"Oh, oops." Qingyi pushed Li Mo and said in a low voice: "Help me order some other staple food, pack it, I want to take it back to eat." ”

"No problem!" Li Mo, who was so hot that he unbuttoned his chest, called the waiter: "Half a catty of steamed dumplings!" ”

Qingyi was dumbfounded: "It's too little!" I'm going to bring some for someone else to eat! ”

"I'm not done yet! Half a catty of fried dumplings, half a catty of corn dumplings, half a catty of shrimp dumplings, half a catty of taro dumplings, half a catty of crystal dumplings......"

"Enough!" Qingyi couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly interrupted Li Mo's mouth to run the train: "I can't take it!" And I didn't have that much money with me! ”

"No money? Say it earlier! Cancel everything just now, just give him two packs of mustard! ”

"Cancel your system!"

In the end, Li Mo always asked the kitchen to make a few large bags of dumplings half-sold and half-sent, as well as some rice cakes, wontons, and rice balls, all of which were put together and sent to Mrs. Green's house after eating. Qingyi also had to inform Mrs. Green, lest the old man buy too much food and waste it if he can't finish it at night.

While eating, Qingyi also stood up and toasted everyone: "Today I am stained with Boss Li's light, and it is really my blessing to be able to eat with everyone!" I wish you all the best and a healthy family in the new year! Cheers! ”

"Cheers!"

After sitting down again, Li Mo slyly rushed to Qingyi and squeezed his eyes: "This meeting is okay!" ”

"When I was a child, when I went out to eat, my dad came and went when he was socializing! Cough! Qingyi was very sad to find that he really couldn't drink.

————————————————————————————————————

After eating, the employees continued to play cards and sing K in the box, while Qingyi and Li Mo went to the Hongyi Martial Arts Hall, after all, it was relatively quiet and conducive to eating. The two sat on the futon, chatting with each other.

"I heard you've been having a lot of trouble lately?" Li Mo asked.

Qingyi was so vigilant that his ears were about to stand up: "What do you want to do?" ”

"It's nothing, if you can't control the sea of bones, then I'll come back and fish in troubled waters or something, haha!"

"Then you don't have a chance, I still have a lot of hole cards to come out, just waiting for a guy with a bad heart like you! Be careful that there is no return! ”

Li Mo narrowed his eyes: "Tut-tut!" If you don't have enough confidence like this, do you think I'll believe it? ”

"Don't talk about me, what have you been doing these days?" Seeing that the topic was about to tilt in a dangerous direction, Qingyi hurriedly diverted the other party's attention.

"Me? Anyway, there was nothing to manage, so I just participated in the competitive competition. The results were not bad, two hundred and six. ”

"Impossible!"

"Why am I lying to you? It's a pity that martial arts are not enough to make up for the huge gap in level and equipment, and I ended up losing to a level 68 guy. But it's not bad, I was rewarded with a piece of high-grade magic equipment, and there is a lot of money, just enough to make up for the deficit in my country's treasury. Li Mo couldn't help sighing: "Management is really difficult!" I'm a little powerless to manage such a small island, how the hell do you maintain the Twilight Empire? ”

"Trade secrets, no comment."

"Speak quickly!"

Li Mo made a gesture to pinch Qingyi's neck, Qingyi was already uncomfortable after drinking, and he couldn't stand being pinched by this, so he quickly stopped the other party's actions: "I said, I said!" When expanding the territory, combat professionals are of course more important, but in terms of internal affairs management, life professionals are even better. You'll have to recruit more subordinates for your life class, or your island may collapse before the enemy can attack it. ”

"It's boring! Life professionals even have a problem with self-preservation, and if it weren't for that dog when I attacked your city, all your subordinates would have died! ”

"Of course, life and combat are indispensable."

Li Mo didn't think so, and then he was full of interest: "There is also a necromancer in Japan, and he is still a woman, right?" Why don't we join forces and do her? I'm going to Japan to be the boss? ”

"You think beautifully! That's what people are deeply hidden, and you have no chance of winning. ”

"Cut, grow the ambition of others, you deserve enough of the necromantic king!"

Brian mentioned one thing: Hanazuki Ringo sent a gift across the ocean. How is it that so quickly there are enough seagoing vessels to cross national barriers? Every time Qingyi thinks about it, he feels incredible. However, Brian gave another explanation: the development direction of each country is different, maybe Night Sakura City is going to put the main battlefield in the open sea, so it will focus on naval warfare? If that's the case, then what's at the bottom of the box of the Necromantic Empires is really exciting.

"Okay, let's stop talking, I'm going to see a psychiatrist."
