Chapter 382: To open a shopping mall, Ye Xiaomei must be the boss
Tang Buci was actually showing anxiety and stood up to pace back and forth. But no matter when he turned around, he would still be met with Ye Xiaomei's eyes staring at him. Who could stand this?
"Okay, just remember to trust me 100%. I can do everything I can to keep you safe. I've been studying medicine very hard, including witchcraft and incantations. I'm sure I can find out Qin Rong's ultimate goal."
"..." Ye Xiaomei stood up suddenly: "Tang Buci, you have something else to say. Why should I let you protect me? What big change will happen to me?"
Ye Xiaomei's heart was beating wildly. Her biggest fear before was that she would turn into a monster.
Tang Bushi turned his head suddenly, with a strange tenderness in his eyes. Actually, it was not strange, he had had this feeling before.
However, this tenderness was not the kind of love between men and women, but a pathetic, lamentable and eager desire to make Ye Xiaomei understand his feelings. He said word by word:
"What is a host spirit? A host spirit is a soul that resides in a host. Before I figure out the situation, I can only temporarily define it as it will slowly occupy the dominant consciousness sooner or later. By that time, do you think you can still remember who you are?"
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank and her heels felt a little unsteady.
Tang Bushi's next words made Ye Xiaomei fall into the chair.
"You will slowly forget yourself, and even slowly forget that you are an individual. There is a basis for this."
As soon as Tang Bu Ci said this, Ye Xiaomei gave a voice to the old man in his head.
Tang Buci curled his lips and said, "Maybe you have forgotten me too."
Ye Xiaomei's biggest fear was that she would turn into a monster. At this moment, she pretended to be calm and said, "I don't think I am that forgetful now."
Tang Bushi took a deep breath. In fact, he still had some compassion in his heart. He didn't want Ye Xiaomei to forget him.
But Ye Xiaomei has already shown signs of this. For example, he had investigated the incident at the dumpling restaurant last month very clearly.
If you ask her directly at this moment how she beat the man like that, I guess Ye Xiaomei won't be able to remember the details at all, she will only know that she beat the man.
Moreover, Ye Xiaomei is his first and only friend, and the most suitable opposite sex:
"Anyway, you have to trust me. I will find out the truth about this matter at all costs and find out Qin Rong's ultimate goal. Then I will know the root of the club's uncertain problems and I will be able to come up with a solution."
He figured this out later, for example, he had to go to Changshou Village.
Next summer?
It is now November in the lunar calendar and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so he opened a shopping mall to see if there are any clues.
Ye Xiaomei gradually calmed down. Actually, what Tang Bushi said made sense. If she couldn't figure out Qin Rong's ultimate goal, then she, as the spirit host of a human-snake, would be like a lamb to be slaughtered, at the mercy of others.
Tang Buci seemed to have found the right moment and asked softly, "I'm planning to make a poster. Look, this is what I drew."
He pulled out a scroll from the tea drawer.
Ye Xiaomei looked at Tang Bushi as if he were a monster. She took the scroll and unfolded it cautiously. After just one glance, Ye Xiaomei was stunned.
Without taking her eyes off the scroll, she freed a hand to push the teapot aside and quickly placed the painting on top of it.
Oh my god: "You drew it?"
Tang Buci looked at Ye Xiaomei's shocked expression with admiration, and said leisurely, "That must be my work."
Ye Xiaomei ignored Tang Buci's self-praising look and looked down the painting inch by inch.
Not to mention the clear sense of layering and three-dimensionality, he actually painted the red maple tree, the white snake and the black toad so vividly.
She felt as if she were at the scene when the red maple trees were flourishing. The trees grew like fire in the wind, tender yet with a majestic and unrestrained fiery red. Their temperament was like the flames rising from the mountains on the ground toward the sky, red in arrogance, red in dominance, and red in frightening the heart.
And there is the white snake coiled on the tree, peaceful and tranquil.
It was so beautiful! It would be a waste to use this painting for a poster. However, when Ye Xiaomei came to her senses, Tang Bushi had already finished the cup of tea.
"How about making it into a poster and sticking it on the wall of Changshou Department Store?" Tang Bushi finally spoke. For Tang Bushi, who was itching to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, what he wanted was Ye Xiaomei's shocked look as if she had never seen the world before.
Ye Xiaomei regained consciousness and said, "You are being too ostentatious. What if I find you?"
Tang Bu Ci said nonchalantly, "Li Yao is the manager here, and Ah Meng is the chief security officer here, so I guess you should take over this department store. If you are in trouble, then I can only push Li Yao out as a human shield, since he is stupid and doesn't know anything anyway."
Ye Xiaomei looked at Tang Buci as if he was looking at a piece of shit. What does it mean to be stupid and know nothing? He was just used as a meat shield. What if something went wrong?
Moreover, this pile of shit formed a sharp contrast with the painting: "You haven't figured out Qin Rong's ultimate goal, but you are blatantly attracting those people in the dark. Aren't you harming Li Yao?"
Who knew that Tang Buci would take advantage of the opportunity and say, "So I want you to take over the position of boss of the mall. Anyway, you don't need to show up in public on weekdays. You just command my people. If there is a loss or something goes wrong, can't I pay the money and you provide the people?"
When saying this, Tang Bu Ci acted like he was so poor that he had no friends and nothing except money.
"..." Ye Xiaomei was immediately upset: "If I were in charge, I would definitely not mark such a high price."
Tang Buci waved his hand hastily: "Except for the price, you can't ask about the rest. You have the final say."
"Hiss, what do you think?" Ye Xiaomei felt a little painful, but the conditions proposed by Tang Bushi were indeed quite reliable.
Tang Buci said confidently, "I didn't think much about it. I didn't even expect how many people would come to buy it. Since they came to buy it, they must have a good background. It's that simple. Besides, I'm just an investor at best. You got the job of a mall owner for free, and I paid for it. Isn't that great?"
Ye Xiaomei understood immediately: "Then, how do we divide the sales? Although I do want to find out Qin Rong's ultimate goal, I also have to eat. I can't just contribute my manpower and effort without getting any benefit in return."
After saying this, Tang Buci was stunned for a moment, staring at Ye Xiaomei blankly for several seconds, as if saying - when did you become as powerful as me?
Ye Xiaomei immediately understood what he meant: "Don't say that. Look at me. I am a greedy person and I like to be greedy. I like to talk about life-threatening business with people who are afraid of death. This is what you taught me. You have to grasp what the other party wants and grab the other party's handle, right?"
Tang Buci's brows were furrowed with worry, and he pinched his brows hard. Okay, it was indeed he who taught him:
"Okay, you one and I'll nine."
"No, fifty-fifty. If something happens to alarm my boss, I will have to step forward. Who made you have such a handsome face but unable to show your face to others?"
Tang Buci was stunned. How about he pay the full amount? He spent more than 200,000 yuan at once? Can Ye Xiaomei go on the trip without spending a dime?
Tang Buci provided both money and people, so why didn't he just marry me as his second wife? But thinking about it, he really couldn't find anyone else to show up:
"37."
"It's 50-50. If you don't agree, forget it." Ye Xiaomei got up and left.
Tang Buci rubbed his face fiercely: "Wait."
