Chapter 83: A Lonely Dinner for Two Men

May 7, 2018

Early in the morning, Zhao Jincheng left the bedroom with two dark circles under his eyes.

For an immortal cultivator of his level, even if he stayed up for thirty or fifty all-nighters without blinking, his powerful divine sense was enough to provide an endless stream of vigorous energy......

However, if you stay up all night with high mental tension and high-intensity brain operation, even an immortal cultivator will fall into exhaustion.

Zhao Jincheng didn't sleep all night, and countless fragments of thoughts came to his mind.

In the picture, there is always him and a petite woman. Although Zhao Jincheng himself knew very well that excessive delusions were harmful and unhelpful, as soon as he thought that the other party had agreed to his invitation last night, he would be able to meet her at the City Lord's Mansion immediately...... The delusions in my head can't stop at all.

At first, he was delusional that he could invite her to dinner on the opportunity of the meeting, and then he showed his talent and demeanor at the dinner table, and then the delusional picture became more and more bizarre, so that in the early hours of the morning, Zhao Jincheng was already thinking about the children's household registration and schooling......

After being awakened from his delusion by the clock at the head of the bed, Zhao Jincheng patted his cheek, and struggled to use his divine sense to squeeze out a little sanity for himself, and then hurriedly went into battle, preparing to welcome the most important guest of honor today.

Coming to the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion in advance, Zhao Jincheng paced back and forth around the table, and after a while, he couldn't calm down in his heart, so he simply cleaned and tidied up the room with his own hands, until the maid outside the door broke in in fear, he stopped and waited patiently for the guests to come.

I don't know how long I waited, when the afternoon sun gradually dyed red, and endless fantasies appeared in Zhao Jincheng's mind again, finally, the good news came from his subordinates.

The Li family's words have arrived!

With the sound of footsteps outside the door, Zhao Jincheng, the new city lord, finally met the Qingyun Li family talker he dreamed of.

With a perfect smile that had been brewing for a long time, Zhao Jincheng stood up, ready to greet the distinguished guest, but before he got up, his expression completely froze.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with a lovely smile and a wide heart and a fat body, Zhao Jincheng's mind went blank.

Then, the other party's voice came to his ears.

"I have seen the city lord of Zhao Jincheng, in Xia Li Kong City, the younger brother of Li Fengyun, the head of the Qingyun Li family, who was entrusted by his sister-in-law to come to talk with the city lord."

“…… Entrust? Are you, she commissioned you? ”

"Yes, she can't come if she has something, so she arrested me after a long time."

Zhao Jincheng suddenly felt a feeling of nausea after eating flies, and he couldn't wait to immediately throw out a dozen fake notes, and then lock himself in the basement of the City Lord's Mansion to avoid people.

However, due to the limitations of his duties, he had to force his physical discomfort to smile and show the enthusiasm of being at home.

"In that case...... Elder of the Empty City, I have admired it for a long time. ”

And Li Kongcheng, who came to meet Zhao Jincheng on behalf of the Qingyun Li family, couldn't help but grin when he heard the words: "Haha, where to talk, what kind of ...... I have a false name to look up to for a long time" Before the words fell, his face turned blue first.

"Wait, it can't be Zhao Yan what she told you, right? I seriously declare, those are all false rumors, my status in the Li family compound is definitely not a feminist star, housewife and man, no, it is because I am the head of the family and have unlimited authority that I can come here to meet you as an agent when Lu Xin has an urgent matter to return to the city, if it is really as rumored that my status is below Zhao Yan, then it should be her as an agent, right? Since I'm an agent, it means that I have a higher status, right!? ”

Zhao Jincheng looked confused, what the hell is this fat man talking about?

Li Kongcheng said again: "It's okay at home, it's just in front of the children, and it's too much to tell outsiders about it!" If you don't save me any face, aren't you afraid that I will run away from home! This, this is Jinyu City, the base camp of the Zhao family, and there are as many beauties as there are surnamed Zhao! ”

Seeing that Li Kongcheng was getting more and more unspeakable, Zhao Jincheng had to cough to interrupt his chatter.

Li Kongcheng was frightened by this cough: "I'm just kidding!" I am absolutely faithful to my marriage! ”

Zhao Jincheng stretched out his hand to cover his face: "I just want to say, you can start talking about business, right?" Regarding the establishment of new channels of cooperation between the two companies, as well as the establishment of a joint training meeting between the Zhao family and the Li family. I have drafted a preliminary framework plan here, so please ask the Elder of the Empty City to take a look at it. ”

Li Kongcheng didn't rush to read the draft, but when he heard Zhao Jincheng talk about the topic, he felt a headache.

He flew all the way from Qingyun City to Jinyu City by Sendai, not to think about this kind of grand strategy, but just a temporary worker who had to go into battle because of the shortage of manpower.

It stands to reason that the person who is qualified to negotiate on behalf of the Li family and the new Jinyu City Lord is, of course, Lu Xin in the first place, under the condition that Li Fengyun has fully delegated power and devoted himself to sword cultivation, Lu Xin has directly represented the Li family many times to attend important occasions, and is a well-deserved helmsman of the Li family. And Lu Xin happened to be in Jinyucheng at the time, and she was the only one to contact Zhao Jincheng.

However, at this time, bad news came from the Li family compound, and after many all-night hells in a row, Li Jinglun finally collapsed, and the Kumon team he led was instantly paralyzed.

At this time, there were less than three days before the deadline for the feedback of many official documents sent by the Holy Sect, but the progress of the official documents was stuck at 90.

The situation was urgent, and the elders of the Li family's compound gathered overnight and called Li Fengyun, the head of the family who was in retreat and cultivating, out to deal with the matter. After Li Fengyun learned the details, he resolutely took responsibility, and as the leader, he began to take over Li Jinglun to deal with official documents, and it took one day to advance the progress from 90 to 75.

In desperation, Lu Xin had no choice but to rush back to Qingyun City overnight to clean up the mess and leave the work of Golden Jade City to others.

According to the ranking order of the Li family's compound, Zhao Yan ranked third, but it happened that she was the daughter of the Zhao family, and she had some historical grievances with her own family, and she was unwilling to enter Jinyu City. Only then was Li Kongcheng's turn to come forward.

As the fourth-hand pick-up man, Li Kongcheng's enthusiasm for work can be imagined. And this kind of big thing, where does he dare to make decisions easily? In case he didn't ask Zhao Yan in time and made a mistake without authorization, wouldn't he have no food for another month?

Thinking of this, Li Kongcheng strengthened his determination to touch the fish and paddle, so he hahaha: "Hahaha, it is worthy of being the younger brother of Zhao Shenlu's city lord, his courage is really extraordinary, and he has just come up with such a bold plan when he takes office." It's all a good thing, whether it's a new type of cooperation channel or an immortal path seminar, if it can be done well, it will be a great thing that is conducive to the century-old plan of our two families, and we will definitely study it carefully. ”

Although Zhao Jincheng is a new official, after all, he has been the eldest son of Jin Yucheng for decades, especially in the grassroots position, he has experienced all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and he can't hear the perfunctory remarks.

So he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

These two plans, he drafted very hastily and perfunctory, although the title is related to the family's centennial plan, but the content can be described as full of errors and omissions, unsightly.

Of course, this is deliberate, he just wants to take an immature plan out for Lu Xin to see, and then when the pair of delicate and euphemistic, generous and elegant eyebrows are slightly frowned, he candidly asks for the other party's help.

Zhao Jincheng is a new official who took over in a hurry, and neither his personal ability nor the support of the bureaucracy is far from enough, so it is helpless to come up with an immature plan, and I only hope that there will be someone with rich leadership experience who will not hesitate to give advice.

At the same time, the timing of Zhao Jincheng's appointment was delicate, and he could not get the full support of Zhao Shenlu or the support of the patriarchs, and he seemed isolated in Jinyucheng, so he preferred to rely on external forces, such as the Qingyun Li family, which had good dealings with Jinyucheng......

With Zhao Jincheng's understanding of Lu Xin, as long as his posture is pitiful enough, she will definitely not be able to refuse. At that time, he would be able to understand more and more deeply about the extraordinary things about the amazing woman who lived in the Li family's compound with a foreign surname.

Pity......

The one who came to talk was not the magical woman who had two diametrically opposed contradictory temperaments of maturity and innocence, but Li Kongcheng, who had a stinking temperament that complemented both greasy and decadent!

No matter how good Zhao Jincheng's personal cultivation is, under the blow of such a gap, he is also very listless, and seeing that Li Kongcheng has no heart to talk about business, he can't ask for it.

"It's okay, the hundred-year plan really needs to be considered repeatedly, and the Elder of the Empty City doesn't need to rush to give me an answer, wait for a while, and then talk about it after studying it carefully."

Li Kongcheng is simply pardoned, after a while? After a while, there will be nothing to do with this diplomatic negotiation! Let Lu Xin personally take charge of negotiating with this brick, he is going home to eat, drink and have fun!

The two of them invariably skipped the big plan about the century-old strategy and looked at each other across the conference table.

No one can find a topic to talk about, and even if they can, they don't want to find it.

What is there to talk about with a greasy middle-aged brick head? Hurry home and eat.

Thinking of eating, Zhao Jincheng couldn't help but think of the exquisite dinner he had prepared for a long time, he had planned to enjoy romance in the candlelight, but now he could only be alone, lonely, and he was about to cry when he thought about it.

However, on the bright side, even if you are alone, it is better than having dinner with a greasy fat man......

At this moment, suddenly a maid ran outside the door and said softly: "Lord of the city, the dinner between you and Qingyun has been prepared. ”

"Want you to talk too much?!" Zhao Jincheng was simply furious, "Didn't you see that we were discussing serious matters!" ”

The maid was so yelled that she almost fell to her knees on the spot, trembling all over.

Li Kongcheng couldn't see women suffering the most, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be angry, I'm really hungry, why don't we eat first?" The food in Golden Jade City is famous all over the world, and I have long wanted to try it. ”
