Chapter 124: People from Beyond Heaven
"Everyone in the world is amazed, but you are the only one who dares to ask directly. You are truly courageous, young lady. I am nothing more than that."
The man chuckled and leisurely took a sip of the fragrant tea.
Su Shengsheng stared at the man's smile, and only one word echoed in her heart: Young Master's beauty is unparalleled in the world, his grace and elegance are truly unparalleled.
"Beauty is fleeting, like a passing cloud, not worth mentioning." After saying this, he changed the subject, "It is you, young lady, who uses wisdom as a pen and the business world as ink to paint a grand picture. You are truly a woman who is as capable as a man, and you are truly admirable."
Knowing that the other party had passed the national version, Su Shengsheng smiled modestly, "Sir, you are too kind."
She took out one of the chessboard versions from outside the Great Wall and placed it on the table.
Since Bai Shuo cracked "I am the County Magistrate" and several town versions, she has distributed various versions across the country.
It’s really because life here is too boring and there are no other entertainment activities.
As for using the title of county magistrate, it is said that when County Magistrate Sang heard about it, he just laughed it off and did not blame anyone.
He even bought some home and played chess with his friends.
It is not surprising that the man was able to pass the level so quickly.
She first showed the Tianzhu version, where the shape of the map was clear at a glance.
The man's blue eyes flickered slightly, as if with deep meaning. "I heard that Shopkeeper Su often offers prizes when playing chess with others. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to get a share of the prize today?"
Su Shengsheng smiled and took out all the cards. "If you're asking for real money, I can only set a maximum limit of ten thousand taels."
The other party spoke in a firm tone, obviously well prepared, so she didn't dare to be careless.
After all, money is needed everywhere at this time, and this is all she can give.
The man smiled and said, "I heard that the things sold in Shopkeeper Su's shop are from a strange book - 'Lu Ban's Notes'?"
Upon hearing this, Su Shengsheng paused what she was doing and her gaze fell on him again.
Those eyes were so deep that they made her feel a little dazed.
"Where did you hear this, sir?" She lowered her brows and continued to fiddle with the cards on the game board.
This was just a lie she made up to fool her family.
Not only did this man know about it, he even came here to find out...
This made Su Shengsheng feel alert.
She had tried her best to avoid attracting excessive attention to the wonderful uses of natural gas, but unexpectedly it still attracted attention.
It seems that the development of vehicles is bound to attract attention after all.
"So, Manager Su really has this thing in his hands?" The man smiled even more, with a gleam in his eyes.
Su Shengsheng quickly calmed down and looked up at him: "I did read a copy of Lu Ban's Notes, but it was only a fragment."
The man smiled and said, "I wonder where this thing is now?"
"I rented it from a bookstore when I was a child, and I returned it a long time ago." Su Shengsheng answered casually.
The man's expression remained unchanged. "I heard that Shopkeeper Su has an exceptional memory. I'm sure he can write it down word for word, right?"
Su Shengsheng chuckled, "If you ask me if I have any hidden secrets, then I certainly don't. I've already passed on what I've learned to the shopkeepers everywhere."
She knew full well the principle of "a treasure in the hand is a crime", and this man was straightforward and clearly had ulterior motives. She didn't want to be targeted.
"Oh? Really..." The man smiled playfully, "I heard that Shopkeeper Su is still digging down on the mountain, but why?"
Su Shengsheng's face was as calm as water: "Businessmen are always a little greedy. Once they get something, they want more."
The man wasn't fooled. He tapped the game board with his fingers, picking out several of her shops. "That newly minted storage tank wasn't prepared blindly without seeing what's underneath!"
His words forced Su Shengsheng to re-examine him. However, she could not see any clues from his face.
He didn't care about her scrutiny: "I have no other purpose on this trip, I just want to see the whole ancient book."
"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Su Shengsheng picked out a few of his properties and said, "I can't create something out of nothing."
"Really?" The man's eyes flickered across her face. "Shopkeeper Su deliberately slowed down his pace. Was it to relieve the Su family of their hard labor?"
Su Shengsheng met his gaze, her pupils shrinking slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "What do you mean, sir?"
"It's said that Master Lu Ban's incredible craftsmanship allowed him to create a horseless carriage that could travel a thousand miles in a day. He could also create a boat that could sail ten thousand miles in a day without a person rowing it!"
Su Shengsheng's heart skipped a beat, but she said calmly, "Oh? I've never heard of that."
The man stared into her eyes and said, "There are even rumors that those who inherit Lu Ban's legacy can create amazing things like the Clairvoyance and the Super Ear."
Gulp...
Su Shengsheng couldn't help swallowing, but her eyes never left him. Instead, she seemed to be interested. "Really?"
The man smiled slightly and gently put down the cards in his hand: "It seems that we are tied in this round."
Su Shengsheng also smiled: "It is a joy in life to meet a worthy opponent in chess and a talented general in general."
She slowly stood up and walked towards the door: "Second Brother Bao, please go get some cakes to entertain our distinguished guests."
After saying that, she turned around and took out the version from Miro Kingdom.
China's Belt and Road Initiative has achieved remarkable results, but Nanling has now lost half of its territory, the Silk Road has been cut off, and trade with many small countries has been forced to be interrupted.
Although there is a sea route to India, and she wants to develop it, she also needs to judge the situation.
This man was not from India, but he was very elegant and even used the fragrant snow gauze from the country of Miluo to make his Zen robe.
You should know that a piece of this kind of cloth is worth no less than ten thousand taels, and rich people only use it to make summer clothes because of its comfort.
But he squandered the natural gift to make a single-layer coat over his winter clothes, turning the thin material into a decoration.
It is even more luxurious than Miss Jun’s carriage curtains.
People asked her everything, but she didn't even know who the other person was.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
She smiled, sat down, and asked casually, "I don't know what your name is, sir?"
"My surname is Ye and my given name is Xin." The man replied.
It seems like there is no intention to hide it.
Although the surname Ye is rare, it can be found in Nanling, Baishang Kingdom and Miluo Kingdom.
I heard that this surname originated from the complex surname of Gongye. Later, the descendants of the clan were displaced due to wars, so they took the character Ye as their surname.
but……
Su Shengsheng glanced at the other person's appearance, which seemed a little seductive because of his unpredictable thoughts.
I thought to myself: They are a good match!
She did not stop moving and continued to reap the inheritance in his hands.
"There is another rumor. I wonder if Manager Su has heard of it?" Ye Xin's eyes moved across her face.
"Anything else?" Su Shengsheng forced a smile, "I'm all ears."
Ye Xin exhaled, "Rumor has it that the one who can create the magical object that allows people to see thousands of miles away and hear tens of thousands of miles away is not from this mortal world, but from outer space!"
Su Shengsheng was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head: "People spread rumors and misinformation everywhere, so they are not credible."
Ye Xin also laughed: "I also thought it was just a rumor..."
The implication was that he had never taken her seriously before she created those vehicles.
Su Shengsheng's fingers stretched out to take the cards stiffened slightly, and then she took the cards as usual.
Ye Xin smiled, "Shopkeeper Su is distracted? Then my victory is unfair."
This time, he actually managed to sneak in and win the game.
Su Shengsheng's mind was distracted by him, and she felt vaguely uneasy.
