Chapter 581: The way of appearance is too impressive
Three days later, Chu Qian came to pick me up.
After getting in the car, she smiled and said, "Teacher, the Azure Dragon King is coming tonight. My cousin told us not to reveal that you have martial arts skills. Why? Are you afraid that he will challenge you to a duel?"
"I want to learn from others. By the way, have you met him before?"
"No. He's a big shot. My cousin went to visit him. And he won't be coming over for dinner."
"Busy?"
"Yes, there's a rich man here who invited him to dinner, so he'll come over to sit down after dinner. His appearance fee is very high."
"And an appearance fee?"
"Oh, my cousin invited him to come and sit with us. He only tells fortunes for one or two people, and it costs the equivalent of 50,000 Thai baht. This is the price the rich man paid for just coming and sitting with him."
"I understand. If you just attend, it's 50,000. If you specially invite him, it's more than 100,000."
"Yes, that's the price."
"Who will we count it for tonight?"
"Mr. Zhang, there's another Thai guy who's a friend of my cousin."
"Does this Azure Dragon King have a name? What is his name?"
"My name is...Abi, the 'Bi' in shelter."
The two chatted all the way to Luo Cheng's company. Luo Cheng, Zhang Qianwu, and a woman stood at the door to greet them.
After getting out of the car, Luo Cheng introduced the woman, "This is Teacher Wan."
I looked at the woman. She was wearing Thai clothes, but she didn't look Thai. Because it's hot in Thailand, their clothes are loose.
But Luo Cheng didn't even introduce who the woman was.
The woman said in Chinese, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wan. The last time you came, I had a negotiation. It's been years since we last met, and you still look the same, so young."
I understood who she was. However, she had completely changed. In my impression, she was slimmer, but now she had become a typical wealthy lady.
She had big curly hair, big, exaggerated earrings dangling from her thick ears, and a tanned complexion, looking every bit like a Thai woman.
I put my hands together and said, "Hello, Madam."
She shook her head and said, "Don't call me that. My last name is Qin and my given name is Xiaohua. Just call me Xiaohua."
We chatted as we went upstairs. Luo Cheng led us directly into the restaurant, where several Thai guests were waiting. He didn't introduce them one by one. Everyone clasped their hands in greeting.
During the meal, Luo Cheng basically spoke in Chinese, and it seemed that Xiaohua was translating for the Thai people.
The meal wasn't anything special; it was a mix of Chinese and Thai cuisine. No alcohol was consumed. Luo Cheng told me, "The Azure Dragon King can't smell alcohol. So, he won't drink."
The drinks on the table were milk and coconut juice.
Luo Cheng said, "Teacher Wan, please forgive me. Eating here is simpler. We can't eat with Thai people. Next time, invite some Chinese people and we can have a good drink."
I said, "As the Romans do, so do the Romans. I hate those kinds of dinner parties back home, too. They're all about drinking and bragging, and everyone's calling each other brothers on the surface, but in their hearts they just want to get everyone drunk."
Luo Cheng said: "That's exactly the case. I haven't been back for several years. When I went back a few years ago, I just couldn't adapt. It was always a class reunion, and it seemed like if we didn't get a few drunk, the party would be in vain.
I have a classmate who is really a sickly person and always carries medicine with him, but our class monitor said, if you are a brother, then drink it, otherwise you leave.
My classmate really passed away. He said, "I'd better keep this life so that I can meet you next time. Otherwise, you might meet a ghost next time, and you won't feel comfortable either."
I nodded and said, "You're absolutely right. That kind of drinking culture needs to change."
Everyone drank a few glasses of milk, clinked glasses, and then ate.
After dinner, Luo Cheng invited everyone to his teahouse. Zhang Qianwu walked with me, told me about the investigation, and said that he would ask the Azure Dragon King to help them with a divination tonight.
He was afraid that I would be unhappy, so he said, "We are determined to do it. Let's talk it over with him. Even if he says it can't be done, we will still do it as you say."
Actually, whether we are unimportant or not is not important. Those Thai people just now are supervisors from Qin Xiaohua's factory. Luo Cheng invited them to participate in this event and meet the Azure Dragon King as a reward for their work. For those supervisors, it is a great honor.
"I know. It's like in China, when a boss invites a famous star to his home and asks a few of his best subordinates to attend this private event. The subordinates feel extremely honored."
"Yes, that's what I mean."
As we were standing on the second-floor balcony and talking, several cars suddenly drove into the large area below. Zhang Qianwu said:
"Here they are. Mr. and Mrs. Luo Cheng are going down to pick them up."
Although it was night, all the lights in the square were on, just like daytime.
Three cars stopped, and several people came out of the cars. Luo Cheng and his wife went to greet them. The last person to come out must be the Azure Dragon King.
I couldn't see clearly from upstairs, but I just thought he was short, sturdy, and young. He was surrounded by a group of people and went into the inner room.
Zhang Qianwu said, "Let's go to the tea room."
This teahouse was not the one where Luo Mai received me last time. It seemed to have been temporarily converted for a small meeting.
There were sofas on three sides and a chair in the middle.
The others had already sat down, and Zhang Qianwu sat with me on the west side.
This group of people came in and followed the Azure Dragon King.
At this moment, the sentence that I seemed not to have written suddenly came to my mind - my grandparents, he wore a black coat with a dragon embroidered on it, and a pair of black pants.
This is nothing, the main thing is that he is still wearing a black cape. Just like Chiang Kai-shek in the movie, he has the demeanor of a great general.
He shook his shoulders, and the cloak fell off his body. A servant beside him caught it, and the Green Dragon King sat on the throne naturally.
With his feet in a turtle stance and his hands on the armrests, he sat there with an expression of contempt for all living things, his demeanor calm and composed.
A tea table was immediately brought to the Azure Dragon King, along with tea and a deck of tarot cards.
The king's appearance was so imposing that I felt fifty thousand was not enough.
