Qiu Shui didn't know Zhang Jiayun's father, and it was his first time to visit the Zhang family.
The first time you go to someone's house, you can't go empty-handed.
Qiu Shui asked Zhang Jiayun to stop in front of a fruit shop that looked pretty good, and then took Zhang Jiayun in to buy two fruit baskets worth about one thousand Chinese yuan.
Considering the rebates he earned from using Zhang Jiayun's money, this two thousand Chinese yuan fruit basket wasn't actually that expensive.
Although Qiu Shui is stingy, he still has basic etiquette.
Moreover, even if he wanted to be stingy, the system would never allow him to do so.
Anyone who does anything that is not in line with the etiquette of the "rich" may be punished with electric shock at any time.
When it came time to pay, Zhang Jiayun rushed to pay, and Qiu Shui certainly wouldn't let him pay.
In the end, Zhang Jiayun had no choice but to carry two fruit baskets and put them in the carriage of the car in front.
Although Zhang Hongtao is a member of the Zhang family's side branch, he has a good relationship with the Zhang family's main family, so even though he is a side branch. But he also manages part of the Zhang family's business.
However, Zhang Hongtao also has his own ambitions.
He was unwilling to give in and just depended on the protection of the Zhang family. He wanted to step out of the shadow of the Zhang family and let his Zhang family be on par with the main Zhang family.
But after so many years, he has the will but not the energy.
The four major families in Kyoto have basically occupied all the advantages. If he wants to break out of the four major families without external force, it is basically impossible.
And Qiu Shui is the external force he chose.
Even so, he knew that choosing to rely on Qiu Shui would be very risky.
But high risk means high reward.
Although they still don't know whether Qiu Shui is a member of the Hidden Family, judging from his generosity, his family must be extraordinary.
Now that you have made your choice, you cannot regret it.
Therefore, he asked his son Zhang Jiayun to invite Qiu Shui home for a simple meal.
Although it was just a simple meal on the surface, but secretly, it was indeed the first meal of the Zhang family since their surrender.
Therefore, Zhang Hongtao had people prepare the ingredients early in the morning to make Qiu Shui enjoy the meal as much as possible.
Qiu Shui indeed enjoyed the meal. Although there were only ten dishes, they were all delicious and tasty.
It tastes great.
Especially the carefully prepared crab roe cake, which combines the essence of more than a dozen crabs into a palm-sized cake.
With one bite, you can taste the freshness of more than a dozen crabs.
After eating and drinking, Qiu Shui chatted with Zhang Hongtao and others for a while and then left.
Qiu Shui really had nothing to talk about with a middle-aged man who was almost fifty years old.
This time when I went to eat, I was just eating an attitude.
It's fine as long as both parties know it.
Seeing Qiu Shui was about to leave, Zhang Hongtao asked Zhang Jiayun to see Qiu Shui off.
Qiu Shui waved his hand to refuse. His villa was not far from Zhang Jiayun's townhouse, only a dozen minutes' walk away.
It’s just right to take a walk after eating to help digestion.
Seeing Qiu Shui refused, Zhang Jiayun had no choice but to send him to the door. Zhang Jiayun returned to his home only when he saw Qiu Shui's figure disappear around the distant corner.
As soon as Zhang Jiayun sat down, he heard his father say, "Since you have made your choice, then follow Master Qiu carefully. For people like us, the most taboo thing is to be indecisive."
Zhang Jiayun nodded and replied, "Yes, I understand."
Zhang Hongtao added: "In a few days it will be the birthday of the old man of the Qin family. Ask Young Master Qiu if he will go. If you go, you and the guys from the Xia family and the Bao family should be careful. Let Young Master Qiu see our value."
When Qiu Shui and Qin Ze happened at the Treasure Pavilion Auction House, the entire Kyoto circle already knew about it.
Whether it is for face or to show the generosity of a large family. This time, the Qin family will definitely send Qiu Shui a message.
As for whether Qiu Shui would suffer any loss in the Qin family, Zhang Hongtao believed that he would not.
However, not suffering any loss does not mean that the Qin family will not play dirty tricks.
After all, it's hard to guard against them on someone else's territory.
That's why Zhang Hongtao asked Zhang Jiayun and others to be more careful. If the Qin family really has some conspiracy, it would be a good opportunity to show Qiu Shui their value.
After all, no one would keep a worthless and lagging crew member wasting food on the ship.
After Qiu Shui came out of the Zhang family villa, he hummed a little tune and walked slowly towards his own villa No. 3.
After moving here for so long, this is the first time he has had time to take a good look at the scenery of the Jinyue Bay villa area where he lives.
There are lakes and woods. The scenery is beautiful and the air is good.
Qiu Shui felt that he had been lazy recently and needed to get up in the morning to run and exercise.
Villa No. 1 is a little distance away from Villa No. 3 where Qiu Shui is located, and is closer to the villa area.
To get back to Qiu Shui’s Villa No. 3 from Zhang Jiayun’s house, one must pass through the road outside Villa No. 1.
As soon as Qiu Shui walked to Villa No. 1, he saw that the door of Villa No. 1, which had been silent since he moved in, was actually opened.
A large truck stopped at the door of Villa No. 1, and then some workers carried some furniture and walked into Villa No. 1.
After moving in, Qiu Shui learned from Zhang Jiayun that Villa No. 1 had been sold to a mysterious buyer a long time ago.
But the mysterious buyer never showed up.
So, Villa No. 1 has remained empty.
Even Zhang Jiayun couldn't find out who bought Villa No. 1. His identity was really mysterious.
Now, the owner of Villa No. 1, which has been empty for a long time, is preparing to come back and live there?
As a neighbor, should you go up and say hello?
As soon as this thought came up, it was quickly rejected by Qiu Shui.
Forget it, anyone who can live in this villa is not a simple person.
When he went to say hello, people thought he was trying to please them.
It is better to have less trouble than more.
After giving up this idea, Qiu Shui was just about to walk towards his villa when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Qiu Shui took out his cell phone from his pocket and saw that the call was from an unfamiliar number.
"Hello."
"Hello, is this Qiu Shui, Mr. Qiu?"
The voice sounded a little strange, Qiu Shui asked in confusion: "It's me, who are you?"
"In the morning, I wanted to play a game of chess with Mr. Qiu. Later, I was rejected by Mr. Qiu because of my impoliteness."
The sound coming from the phone was faint, like a cold pond in the mountains, giving people a feeling of a little coolness.
Qiu Shui remembered, "It's you."
It turned out to be the person who wanted to "invite" him to play chess in the morning.
"I want to play a game of chess with Mr. Qiu. When is it convenient for Mr. Qiu?"
Lou Yuchen on the other end of the phone spoke calmly, but his eyes revealed a rare hint of anticipation.
He hoped Qiu Shui would agree to play against him.
He didn't expect that in the morning he asked Jiang Ruozhi and others to find Qiu Shui, wanting Qiu Shui to play a game of chess with him. As a result, Qiu Shui got angry.
Just put it out there directly, if anyone wants to play chess with him, let the person who wants to play chess go to him in person.
Lou Yuchen was not angry, and he didn't even think that there was anything wrong with Qiu Shui asking him to go to his house in person.
He felt that if Qiu Shui really had the ability to compete with him, then it would be only right for him to visit him in person.
It would indeed be rude to let Jiang Ruozhi and others invite him. After all, doing so seems somewhat threatening.
Fortunately, Jiang Ruozhi and others had a good attitude, so they did not really offend Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui was curious, "Why did you come to play chess with me? Although I participated in the Hualong Cup and entered the sixth round, there are many people who are better than me. Why did you come to me?"
"Do you remember the chess game we played on the first floor of the sports center yesterday?"
"A chess game on the first floor of the sports center?"
Qiu Shui thought for a moment, "You mean, the chessboard in that office? Did you play that chess?"
Lou Yuchen looked at the chessboard in front of him. On the board was the chess piece from yesterday.
He glanced at the white chess piece that had turned the tide and said, "Well, I'm the black chess piece."
Black chess?
Qiu Shui thought of that game of chess. The black player had very high skills and was not at the same level as the white player.
He really didn't expect that this person would actually contact him.
In the morning, he was still wondering if someone wanted to hold a Hongmen Banquet for him.
Now it seems that there was a misunderstanding.
This person really wanted to play chess with him.
However, Qiu Shui had to participate in a competition in the morning, and had to enter the system space to complete learning tasks for the rest of the time. And you have to take time out to play chess with the old man.
He is really busy and has no time to play chess with others.
Besides, he was a stranger I didn’t know.
Qiu Shui felt that with the time he spent playing chess, he could finish two or three lessons. I can earn another two or three thousand Chinese dollars.
There is no need to lose money for a stranger.
So, Qiu Shui directly refused.
"Sorry, I'm very busy lately. I don't have time to play chess with others. Please find someone else."
After saying that, Qiu Shui hung up the phone.
"Wait..." Lou Yuchen on the other end of the phone wanted to say something, but found that the other party had hung up.
He looked down at the phone in his hand, unwilling to give up just like that.
So, I dialed the number again.
Qiu Shui saw that the man called again and could not help but answer the phone helplessly, "Didn't I tell you that I don't have time?"
Doesn't this person understand what people say? He made it all so clear.
"Are you scared?"
The other party's cold voice sounded somewhat sarcastic.
Qiu Shui thought he had heard it wrongly, "What did you say?"
Lou Yuchen clenched his phone and said calmly, "Are you afraid of losing to me?"
“Heh…” Qiu Shui laughed, “Provoking me? I tell you, this trick won’t work on me. If you don’t want to fight back, then don’t fight back. Don’t fight back at me again.”
Qiu Shui hung up the phone again, and then blocked the phone number.
Do you think he will be fooled by provoking him? When he was three years old.
He wants to play chess with Qiu Shui, so Qiu Shui must play? Who does he think Qiu Shui is?
If he wanted to play, Qiu Shui would not play with him. He's so pissed off.
By the way, this person didn't seem to say who he was.
The person who could use the president of the Go Association to invite him must be an extraordinary person.
Forget it, never mind. Even if that person is the king of the world, it has nothing to do with him.
I'd better go back and play a game with the old man first. He has a new inspiration today. I figured out how to crack the old man's trick from yesterday.
By the way, I have to go back and discuss the bodyguard issue with the system.
Qiu Shui hummed a song again as he walked towards his villa.
On the other side, Lou Yuchen, who was hung up again, called Qiu Shui's mobile number again, and found out to his disbelief that he had been blocked.
He tightened the phone in his hand and looked at the chess pieces on the board on the table again.
A breeze blew in from the window, ruffling the hair on his forehead. A pair of eyes as deep as those dyed with ink were revealed.
