Chapter 288 Please Have Tea
Wang Xifa kept smiling and glanced at Yan Tian. It felt like a glance that lasted for a thousand years, and Yan Tian's scalp tingled.
I thought Wang Xifa would say something, but he turned around and walked quickly towards the Dragon and Phoenix Team, smiling brightly. "Oh, I've heard a lot about the Dragon and Phoenix Team. Seeing them today, they are truly extraordinary. Every one of them is a dragon and a phoenix. I admire them. Come on, come on, please come in. It's so hot, it must be hard on the kids. There's air conditioning and iced drinks inside. You're welcome."
The little friend looked confused. How could you let them rob happily when you are so enthusiastic?
Wang Xifa chuckled, he knew that the Dragon and Phoenix Team was a quality team.
The others completely couldn't understand what Wang Xifa was thinking. They just felt that they had made a big mistake today and that the days ahead would probably be difficult.
He glared at Lin Ting fiercely. It was all because of this idiot. Why was he inciting them for no reason?
Lin Ting was a little confused. She didn't quite understand why the situation had changed. "That base commander, they... uh..." Before she could finish her words, someone from the Tongtian team covered her mouth and took her to a corner. Yan Tian forced a hard laugh. What had just happened?
Wang Xifa calmly withdrew his gaze and faced the big team again with a bright smile.
The little friend sighed quietly, unhappy that he couldn't stop.
He easily broke the vines on his body, which made everyone's eyes bulge. Yan Tian felt that he had found out the truth. These people were deliberately captured and brought in. No wonder they felt weird. No wonder the legendary Dragon and Phoenix Team did not match the reality.
Ding Jiajia twisted her orchid finger and twisted the knife on her neck. She said to her captor with a playful smile, "Be good, this thing is dangerous. Don't play with it casually in the future."
The man who kidnapped Ding Jiajia was a young man in his early twenties. His face turned red instantly and he tried to retract the knife in a panic, almost hurting Ding Jiajia by mistake.
Don't tell Ding Jiajia it was an accident, he won't believe it.
The young man was so frightened that he trembled all over. "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."
"That's enough," Miaomiao put his arm around Ding Jiajia's shoulders, "Don't scare the little handsome boy to tears."
Ding Jiajia gritted her teeth, "Is he as handsome as me?"
"You're not as handsome as him."
Ding Jiajia was angry, and Miaomiao quickly changed her words, "He is not as handsome as you."
This sounded pleasant to the ears, and the two idiots were arm in arm discussing whether he was handsome or not.
Lan Shiruo didn't want to see these two. It was embarrassing. The Dragon and Phoenix Team's high-end and majestic image had been completely destroyed by them. "Base Commander, I have long admired you. Please forgive me for the intrusion of visiting you."
"No, no, you are honored guests, we can't even invite you here. Your presence will bring glory to my humble place. Please come in."
Don't think they have forgotten the slogan at the gate.
Lan Shiruo smiled, "Thank you." and walked into the office with her friend.
The office was very spacious. Wang Xifa did not pretend to be pretentious and follow those elegant people in placing all kinds of toys in the office, nor did he pretend to be knowledgeable and set up bookshelves and fill them with books.
The huge office only had a desk piled with some documents and a swivel chair.
Opposite the desk is a circle of black leather sofas and a coffee table, and nothing else.
There is a bed and a refrigerator in the small room next door. Wang Xifa likes to lie down in there for a while when he gets tired of sitting.
There are no fruit juice drinks or ice cream in the refrigerator, only ice cubes. It's hot, so I drink it with water.
Wang Xifa asked the whole team to sit down and asked his subordinates to get some glasses of ice water.
Lan Shiruo refused. Except for an occasional ice cream, she didn't let the children eat anything cold. "You're welcome, Base Commander. Try our green tea. It's great in hot weather."
Wang Xifa stared with wide eyes as Lan Shiruo took out an alcohol stove, a complete set of tea-making utensils, and purified water, and started brewing them on the coffee table.
Wang Xifa likes to drink tea, but tea leaves are limited and are a luxury in the end times. When he is craving tea, most of the time he just drinks boiled water from the teapot.
Green tea is not precious, but for a tea lover who hasn't had tea for a long time, it is really delicious. "I'll be polite then. Thank you Dragon and Phoenix team for the hospitality." He waved to others to leave quickly. Are they waiting here to share his tea?
Wang Xifa's character was known to his subordinates, who secretly pursed their lips and told the anxious people to leave quickly.
Lan Shiruo raised her eyebrows slightly, "Captain, please stay and have a cup of tea with me. It's not something good, so don't despise it."
Everyone looked at Yan Tian. How did this quiet guy catch the eyes of the Dragon and Phoenix Team?
Yan Tian was also wondering, had he not offended them?
Wang Xifa narrowed his eyes slightly, "Yan Tian stay, everyone else hurry up, don't stand here."
Yan Tian sat beside him amidst all kinds of speculation. The office became quiet, with only the gurgling sound of water.
Ao Chengyi took out a carpet and spread it on the floor for the kids. He also took out some snacks and let them play with them. The animals also came over. Seeing this, Wang Xifa and Yan Tian's mouths twitched wildly. Was he deliberately making them jealous? Was he showing off his wealth?
"Okay, try it." Lan Shiruo gave Wang Xifa and Yan Tian a cup each. The little friends didn't want tea because they didn't like it. They each took a bottle of room temperature beer. They wanted to drink iced beer, but it would be easy to be exposed.
However, the room temperature beer also made Wang Xifa and Yan Tian envious, as they hadn't had beer for a long time.
Lan Shiruo smiled, "Would you two like a bottle?"
I'd like to have a bottle, but I'm too embarrassed.
"No, I like drinking tea." Wang Xi smiled.
Yan Tian was also embarrassed, "Neither do I, thank you."
Lan Shiruo didn't force it and pretended not to see them swallowing their saliva.
The scene became quiet again. The friends drank by themselves and asked Ao Chengyi for some dried meat to go with the wine. They treated the office as a pub.
Wang Xifa and Yan Tian were very nervous, not knowing what the Dragon and Phoenix Team was planning. They were so creepy and silent.
After finishing a cup of tea, Lan Shiruo spoke slowly, "I came to City O this time to discuss a business deal with the base commander."
Wang Xifa's heart skipped a beat. "Oh? I wonder what kind of business the girl wants to discuss?" She smiled kindly and amiably. Since he was so sensible, he should not cheat him.
Lan Shiruo bared her teeth. After using violence for so long, she was used to taking direct action. It was difficult for her to do anything to someone so friendly. Forget it, just take a loss and pay according to the market price.
"It's nothing. I just want to exchange some cotton, linen, and silkworm seeds and seedlings that the base commander has. I'll pay whatever the price is, so that the base commander won't suffer any loss."
Wang Xifa was stunned. Seeds? This was the first time he had seen her. "Miss, you know these things are inherently stingy and difficult to keep alive. They're also susceptible to pests and are very demanding on the environment and other factors. Furthermore, it's the end of the world now, with all kinds of resources in short supply, the land destroyed, and most of the water resources dried up. It's very difficult to grow them."
Lan Shiruo smiled. "The base commander is a down-to-earth person. Thank you for telling me the truth. However, don't worry, since we want the seeds, we are confident that we can grow them well. I wonder if we can exchange them?"
Wang Xifa felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and thought for a moment, "I can exchange it, but not much. I also want to keep some for myself and try planting some. After all, the survival of our O city depends on these seeds. There are not many stocks now, and I don't know how long it can last. I'm so worried." He cried about his poverty without realizing it.
