Chapter 773: The Mayor Comes to Visit
Suspicious, I was able to connect to the phone, and a rather hoarse voice came from inside.
"Hey, is it Young Master Bai?"
"It's me, who are you?"
"I'm Mr. Zheng's housekeeper, Lao Wang, remember?" The hoarse voice on the other end of the phone reminded softly.
"Oh, Steward Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you suddenly call today?" I was quite happy to ask rhetorically, and guessed in my heart that Mr. Zheng should have something to do with me.
Sure enough, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then he responded quickly: "I finally got in touch with you, Young Master Bai, where have you been this month, I can't get through after calling you many times!" ”
Hehe.
I smiled at him awkwardly and lied: "I went back to my hometown for a while, and I only returned to Chancheng yesterday. ”
"It's not a big deal."
Steward Wang said: "Our Mr. Zheng said that he hadn't seen you for a while, and he wanted to invite you to taste tea and talk about Taoism, but I don't know if I am free today?" ”
"Of course, we'll go over to visit Mr. Zheng in a moment."
"No, no, no."
Hearing this, Steward Wang hurriedly refused: "You don't need Young Master Bai to come over in person, our Mr. Zheng will go to see you in a while, so you just have to greet you at home." ”
"Mr. Zheng wants to come in person?" I almost screamed at it.
Imagine that a mayor wants to visit me at home in person, and this honor seems too great.
When Tianhong and the others heard this, they also looked at me in surprise, obviously not expecting Mr. Zheng to come in person, which of course meant that we couldn't go out in the morning to investigate that strange incident.
After hanging up the phone, he quickly instructed everyone to clean up the house, and then instructed Xue Yan and Tianhong to go to the market to buy vegetables, ready to show their hands to Mr. Zheng, and he had already heard that our home-cooked food was very delicious, and he would definitely let him feast on it today.
At about half past nine in the morning, when Xue Yan and Tianhong had just returned from grocery shopping, the sound of a car suddenly sounded outside the door.
The four of them knew that Mr. Zheng must have come over, so they tidied up their clothes and went out to greet them calmly.
In the distance, an elongated black Mercedes could be seen parked outside the garden, and Mr. Zheng had already gotten off the station on the side of the road.
Seeing the four of us coming out together, he also walked slowly towards us.
Although there is still a distance of nearly ten meters, it can be clearly seen that he is wearing a more casual white shirt today, as well as straight trousers and iconic British leather shoes.
After nearly a month, his spirit was still so radiant, and his compelling aura had not diminished at all.
When he got closer, when he saw my dark skin, he couldn't help but stand there and laugh wildly.
"Yiyang, did you go to Africa this month?"
"It's as black as a cow!"
"Hey, hey."
Reluctantly smiled at him embarrassedly, and responded: "The children of poor families have been in charge of the family for a long time, and I went home to farm this month, so the tan was a little dark, which made Mr. Zheng smile." ”
"Oh?"
Mr. Zheng said suspiciously: "You actually went home to farm?" ”
"What a good boy, young people like you are basically not seen nowadays, you are definitely a rarity!"
After saying that, he turned back and waved at the driver, motioning for him to go back first, and then followed the four of us into the house.
"Yiyang, your house is very clean and tidy, without a trace of mess, it doesn't look like a group of children in their early twenties live at all, the style of this house is like the residence of a successful person!"
Hearing this, Tianhong hurriedly patted his ass: "Uncle Zheng has a good eye, this house is not ours in the first place, but someone lent it to us for a temporary stay, but we also have several houses in Chancheng, but we are low-key ......"
"Tianhong, you've made your old mistake again!" Tianjun scolded angrily.
At this time, Mr. Zheng noticed Tianjun, a new member, and turned his eyes on me again, as if asking me silently who I was.
Tianjun, who was bright-eyed, saw this situation, and immediately introduced himself in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Hello Mr. Zheng, my name is Deng Tianjun, and I am Brother Yiyang's little follower. ”
"Hahaha."
Seeing that Tianjun was so smart, Mr. Zheng couldn't help laughing and praised: "Yiyang, your little follower is really smart and beautiful, I like it, I like it." ”
Then he changed his words and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever heard of an auction held in the Lantern Shop Ghost Market last month? ”
After he asked, I immediately felt a sense of crisis slowly rising.
In his capacity as mayor, he asked me such a vague question, and it was clear that he had come prepared for the trip.
And judging from his calm expression, he must have mastered a lot of information about the sword shooting conference.
But then again, the auction was a very formal meeting, there were no violations of the law, and I don't have to worry too much.
I'm afraid that this surnamed Zheng will be the Canglong Sword that covets the snow goose?
After all, now the Canglong Sword has indeed fallen into the hands of Snow Goose, and it hasn't cost a penny!
Although there will never be more than five people who know about this matter, including me, there is no impermeable wall in the world after all, and paper cannot contain fire.
Although I absolutely believe in Mr. Zheng's character, an ancient artifact like the Canglong Sword, no matter how good his character is, it is estimated that he will be tempted.
As soon as I thought of this, I simply responded generously: "Mr. Zheng is so well-informed that he even knows about our appearance at the ghost market fantasy building auction. ”
"Of course."
Mr. Zheng sat on the sofa and glanced at me, and said calmly: "Don't forget what I do, no one in the whole Chancheng is more well-informed than me, only I am willing, even if it is a mouse, I can make people turn out of the stinky ditch!" ”
"That's that, that's."
I also pretended to be calm and flattered: "You are always the number one person in Chancheng, so naturally you have hands and eyes to the sky, but Yiyang doesn't quite understand, did you come to us today just to ask this question?" ”
"It's not."
Mr. Zheng picked up the teacup on his mouth, took a sip of tea in his mouth, and said with a light smile: "I mainly came to visit you today, because I heard from my subordinates last time that a person named Bai Yiyang was seriously injured at the auction, and I expected that person to be you." “
