Pretend To Be a Boss

  Chapter 71 Li Xiaoyu's Second Affair

  Li Zheng remembered that his younger sister laughed like this at the son of the Zhang family on the fifth floor last time. Later, the old man of the Zhang family adopted an adopted son.

  Li Zheng felt a little cold on his back, and his feet suddenly felt a little soft.

  Li Xiaoyu said: "Take me too."

  How dare Li Zheng, taking Li Xiaoyu along would be the same as going to a nightclub to smash things up? Waved his hands and said:

   "I vomited after eating, vomited after eating, hahahaha, I was talking nonsense when I was hungry and confused."

  Li Xiaoyu has actually been to those romantic places, and he thinks it's not interesting, even if he wants to come to Tang Xian, he also thinks it is not interesting.

  She ignored Li Zheng, after all, he was her elder brother, and she would still count on him to carry on the family line of the Li family in the future.

   After a while, Tang Xian came out with two bowls of noodles.

  The brothers and sisters of the Li family are not picky either. Seems to be really hungry. Li Zheng picked up the fork and started to eat.

   "This stuff is good, not to say it is better than the top nutritious meal, but it has a different taste." Li Zheng ate it with a sound, without the temperament of a rich man at all.

  Li Xiaoyu was very dignified, sipping her lips little by little.

   Tang Xian felt unhappy looking at it, and the set looked a little absurd.

  He really never imagined that the brothers and sisters who will have the greatest say in the future of the Li family would suddenly appear in his messy room, a group of four eating noodles.

   There are not too many side dishes, this is white water noodles, but fortunately, the heat is right and the seasoning is right.

  The setting was a little worried, fearing that he would not be considerate in hospitality, the young master and the second young lady might not have a good impression of him, after all, the room was too messy.

   Tang Xian said:

   "I chatted with your undercover agent. He is very professional and can chat with me about any topic. This time I came to Fort No. 2, thanks to his help in dealing with the aftermath."

   There is not much to say. Li Zheng nodded, and Li Xiaoyu replied lightly, "Got it".

   Tang Xian didn't mention it anymore.

  The set was surprised, it seems that it was arranged?

   It's not that Tang Xian deliberately asked the Li family brothers and sisters to support the set.

  The main reason is that the bowl of noodles is finished, so I can't ask others to wash the dishes in vain. You have to do something good for others.

  After eating, Li Xiaoyu felt bored, and found that there were poker cards, go, and mahjong in the room on the set, so he wanted to play a game of chess with Tang Xian. Tang Xian refused twice, but Li Xiaoyu kept insisting, and reluctantly agreed.

  Li Zheng was taken by the set to meet Dr. Duke who was locked in the secret room.

  Tang Xian didn't give Li Xiaoyu face, the ending of the game will not change, it will only feel boring to repeat it, it's better to play chess with yourself.

  During this process, Li Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with anticipation several times, but in the end they became gloomy.

   Before the middle game arrived, Li Xiaoyu realized that this game of chess could not be saved by himself.

  She took a deep look at Tang Xian.

   Unaware of the passage of time, Li Zheng had already finished interrogating Dr. Duke.

  Li Xiaoyu walked out of the room, feeling a little bored. Li Zheng found that Li Xiaoyu was not in the right mood, so he followed him out.

  The set was a little puzzled, and said, "Why is the atmosphere wrong?"

   "I don't know, I'm not brain-dead, how can I understand what their brothers and sisters think?"

  …

  …

   On the fourth floor of the second fortress, there are people coming and going on the street, and most of the faces of passers-by are filled with smiles.

  In a social system like the pyramid, the gap between levels is not only in status, but also in happiness.

  Li Xiaoyu was not very happy.

  Black and white pieces of chess, including renju and go, this kind of hand talk actually has another name of couple chess. Surround but not attack, retreat but not defend, and so on have many interpretation methods in the relationship.

   After all, Li Xiaoyu is just a girl who has just grown up. She has met many people, knows people's hearts, and understands human nature.

  But emotionally, it is only tilted, not incomplete.

  She will also be shy, sad and angry. There will also be things that I am afraid of, and I will try to express my likes in a subtle way.

  After losing to Tang Xian that year, Li Xiaoyu would find someone to guide him in his chess skills in his spare time.

  The person who taught chess was a woman, a former female national player, thirty-seven years old, and now she has retired and is at home with her husband and children.

  She said to Li Xiaoyu: "My husband and I play chess, and he won't let me go everywhere, but he will always let this game of chess be played, which will be more enjoyable and go as far as possible."

   "If the second lady has someone he likes in the future, he can test it in the chess game. If he also likes the second lady, even if he doesn't know how to play chess, he can think carefully. Even if he has attainments in chess, he is willing to enter the game."

  Li Xiaoyu didn't have such an opportunity, so he finally got it today.

   But playing chess with Tang Xian is like playing chess with an emotionless machine.

  He didn't care about the express hints in some chess language, he just thought about how to end the game in the most effective way.

  People say that the longer the path that depends on the beloved woman, the better, wishing for nine twists and eighteen bends, endless.

  Tang Xian ruined the atmosphere. He insisted on following the straightest path to the end, because straightness leads to smoothness. They will also look at each other with eyes full of ink marks on your face.

  The use of solar energy makes the fort actually have day and night.

  The lights are on and night falls.

  Walking on the streets of the fortress in a different place, it seemed that there were young people coming and going, and Li Xiaoyu, who seldom felt lonely, felt a little uncomfortable.

   In less than four months, I will marry to the Song family. Life is obviously still very long, but there is a feeling that it is about to end.

  She won't talk about these feelings. Seventeen or eighteen years old is inherently sentimental, and the family members don't understand.

  As for Tang Xian? He probably won't understand even more?

  When Tang Xian was eighteen years old, he was misunderstood by the whole school district, and he didn't see him argue.

   is a faint reaction.

   "Oh, so you don't believe it, so forget it, I'm too lazy to say it."

   So he became a cheater.

  What does this person really care about? I always feel that my relationship with Tang Xian is very far away. Is it because your personality is too weird?

  Li Xiaoyu was stunned for a long time before realizing that Li Zheng followed.

   "What are you doing here?"

   "I know this place well. If you go out for a stroll, I can be a tour guide."

"unnecessary."

   Li Zheng heard it and said, "Why are you a little unhappy?"

  Li Xiaoyu didn't speak, but walked in a muffled voice. Li Zheng followed behind.

  Walking through a street that mainly sells luxury goods, I don’t seem to want to shop when I look at the girls, and my eyes occasionally fall on the men and women who stay on the street, but I don’t look at the expensive products in the glass windows.

  Things are a bit troublesome. Watching Li Xiaoyu grow up and being a bystander, Li Zheng certainly understands his sister's distress and worries. But Li Zheng couldn't help her with this matter.

  He sighed and said:

   "Xiao Yu, when we were very young, we knew that everything in the world is a transaction. When we treat others as commodities, we must also have the awareness to regard ourselves as commodities."

  Li Xiaoyu didn't look back and didn't stop, he kept walking in a rhythm.

"Tang Xian is a good boy, really good. If you say he is smart, you are the smartest. I was a little skeptical about this guy at first, but seeing him today, he is indeed worthy of my Li family's help. But he will Maybe we will be good friends, that's all."

  Li Xiaoyu still didn't speak.

"However, although Tang Xian gave me a good impression, I still think Song Que is better. This kid is the pride of heaven, and he will help you more. Well, these words are a bit of a bastard, but they are of great help to our Li family. .”

"Five seven-story fortresses, we are married to No. 1, and both of them have a solid foundation. In the future, the development of the eighth floor will always be one step faster. The promotion and help of the eighth floor to the entire human society, from the front It can be seen from a few floors, so sister, I certainly think that our life will have love and distance. But..."

   "Annoyance, I understand, I didn't intend to reject this marriage."

  Li Xiaoyu finally spoke.

   "Hey, that's good, that's good, don't worry, if that kid from the Song family treats you badly and destroys the interests of all mankind, I will help you find your place."

  Li Xiaoyu said coldly:

   "You think you value Tang Xian enough, but you still don't."

  Li Zheng did not refute, and said:

   "Then I have to get to know him slowly. Let's not be in a hurry. But you should stop thinking about him. He is not blind. I really don't believe this guy can't see what you mean to him."

  Li Xiaoyu trembled.

   stopped in his tracks and looked back at Li Zheng.

  Li Zheng said:

   "There is no man in this world who is not gentle to women. There is not one."

  Li Xiaoyu understood the meaning of this sentence. She tried her best to calm down, but her face was still a little pale.

  There is no man in this world who is not gentle to women. If he is not gentle enough, it is only because he is not right.

  Li Xiaoyu remembered that Dongran had reported it to him.

   When meeting Tang Xian for the first time, Tang Xian said that he has someone he likes.

  That seemed like a perfunctory remark, but Li Xiaoyu knew that Tang Xian was not that kind of person.

   Most of the time he is indifferent and telling the truth.

  Li Xiaoyu checked all Tang Xian's classmates in the past six school years, and this is where the strange thing is.

  It's as if that person doesn't exist. She checked all the girls who changed schools, those who had accidents, and those who dropped out, and there was no girl who fit Tang Xian's description.

   After walking for a long time, Li Zheng felt a little distressed. Li Xiaoyu turned his back to Li Zheng, but in fact, his mood had begun to recover slowly.

  There is nothing irreplaceable in this world. Thinking of this, Li Xiaoyu suddenly gained confidence.

   She said:

   "There are still four months to go, I hope our Li family can always do things according to our own way of thinking."

  Li Zheng was stunned, the Li family's way of thinking?

   "Always put the interests of all mankind first?"

"yes."

  Li Zheng didn't understand the logical relationship between the two, because it was this way of thinking that made Li Xiaoyu want to marry the Song family.

   "I'm going back." Li Xiaoyu turned around and walked back.

  Li Zheng understands that his sister is very loyal, and things he believes rarely change. For Tang Xian, she has done many dumbfounding things.

   It's just that right now he can't figure out his sister's plan.

  …

  …

  The next day, after An An had a good night's sleep, Tang Xian felt comfortable all over.

   In ancient times a thousand years ago, many people ate fried dough sticks wrapped in meat in the morning, and many people ate pasta. These are all ingredients that he couldn't get at Fort Thirty-Nine.

  Tossing food is an interesting thing, and Tang leisurely enjoys it.

  Li Xiaoyu and Li Zheng did not live in the set house, but in the hotel. But in the morning, Li Xiaoyu also came over.

  She watched Tang Xian busy eating, with a calm and joyful expression on her face, and suddenly realized that this person was actually not difficult to understand.

   is a person who likes to eat and is willing to spend time on it.

  Life is about management. It is worth calculating who you know, who you like, who you get close to, and who you support.

   This is the Li family's way of life, very utilitarian and useful.

   Tang Xian's idea is very simple, he only manages himself. It is not necessary to live in the most extravagant posture, but it must be in the most comfortable way.

   "I'll be able to take you away later. I have applied for visas for Fort 51 and Fort 39." Li Xiaoyu said.

   "Thank you."

   "What did you go to Fort Fifty-one for?"

   "Akas and the others have a tracking device left in the evolution zone, I have to find a way to get rid of it."

   "Then, when do you plan to do my business." Li Xiaoyu said.

   "After Akas's affairs are dealt with." Tang Xian scooped up the noodles.

   "Do you have a goal?"

   "A Wa snake, if you are lucky, you will kill it at the moment when it evolves into a natural disaster-level boss at its weakest moment. If you are unlucky, you will have to wait."

  Li Xiaoyu nodded, and didn't ask in detail. Tang Xian is much more professional than her in these matters.

   She was going to say something else:

   "This year's hunting event, the biggest dark horse may be the Song family, if you don't participate."

   "I should not participate, my team members haven't been recruited yet."

   Tang Xian felt that the taste was a bit bland, so he took out the seasoning salt.

  Li Xiaoyu was not surprised by this answer, she said:

   "The location may be a little closer to your stronghold in the mining area. Maybe you have to move."

   "What do you mean? The location of the hunting event is in the red soil forest?" Tang Xian asked.

"Yes."

   "How long is the advance?"

   "In about a month, the hunting event will begin. Hunters from all over the world will go to the laterite forest to hunt the creatures in the mining area."

   Tang Xian frowned.

This was unexpected. Although there is some distance between the laterite forest and the sea of ​​trees, for six days, hunters all over the world hunted the creatures in the mining area, and the resources became scarce. Some people would always take risks and go to the creatures next door. There are more seas of trees.

   "Their original intention was to use the red area to make a fence." Li Xiaoyu added.

   Tang Xian nodded, but he was thinking about what to do.

  The sea of ​​trees without Qing Jiuyu is not even comparable to the general yellow area.

"This hunting event, for most hunters, is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step. Who wouldn't want to have a fifth-tier household registration? The scale should be unprecedented. As for choosing the edge of the red area, it is actually for the large-scale reclaiming of the yellow area. Prepare for the red zone."

  Li Xiaoyu said seriously:

   "After the hunting event is over, the high-level officials will lead the regular army of each fortress, as well as excellent hunters, to conquer the large yellow area, the Yopela Plain."

  Tang Xian understands what this means. Human beings rarely open up wasteland mining areas on a large scale. This operation may be unprecedented in scale.

   It also means that the human conquest of mining areas will enter the next stage.

  At the same time, the legendary Court of Beasts may also arrange an unprecedented counterattack.

   Catastrophe-level creatures and natural disaster-level boss creatures will not appear too much. But there must be one or two.

   There must be many natural disaster-level creatures, perfect-level creatures, and elite-level creatures.

   Every such war will produce countless heroes in the history of mankind.

"Akas will play a big role in this invasion. A top-level 'eye' like you will play a leader-level role. The second thing I want you to do is to help each fortress and seize Go down to this area. In the name of the Li family." Li Xiaoyu said.

   "You think highly of me. But if the Li family has arrangements at that time, I will help."

   Tang Xian agreed a little straightforwardly, which surprised Li Xiaoyu.

  Li Xiaoyu originally thought that a person like him would probably refuse face-saving. Because this matter is very troublesome.

   Tang Xian said:

"There is one thing left in the three things. You'd better be a little more difficult. Don't give orders easily. Since you promised to help you, don't save me effort. Your things are the most important. I will As soon as possible."

   Some unhappiness from yesterday was swept away immediately. Li Xiaoyu's cheeks were a little hot, and even his ears were covered in rouge.

  This person...isn't that heartless.

   "I'm going to call Akas, Li Zheng should still have doubts, right? Let him come to test people."

  Tang Xian is naturally not heartless.

  He had thought about it, if he told Li Xiaoyu and Li Zheng all his secrets.

  Li Zheng would think it was a fantasy, and Li Xiaoyu would be surprised, but in the end he chose to believe in himself.

  This is something that I don’t know if it’s something to be happy about.

  But there is indeed such a little girl who believes in herself superstitiously.

  Killing natural disaster-level bosses, leading humans to conquer the yellow area, getting full marks in the test of the chosen one, and so on, things that ordinary humans cannot do.

  Li Xiaoyu entrusted some things to himself because he firmly believed that he had such abilities.

  Perhaps in the eyes of this little girl, her own value is far greater than that of the first family of a certain fortress.

  There are two kinds of value, one is the actual value, obtained through various interests. The other is a purely emotional judgment.

  Li Xiaoyu's trust in himself obviously stems from the interweaving of two values.

   It's just how much each takes, he can't figure it out.

  It is also very troublesome to think about it deeply, so I deal with it with the attitude of treating whoever is good to me.

  …

  …

  After receiving Tang Xian's notice, Li Zheng rushed to the downstairs of the residence where the set was located.

   Not only did he come, he also brought a group of fully armed guards. Obviously, he wanted to verify the authenticity of Akas by force.

   Tang Xian didn't say anything, and went directly to the mining area, preparing to transfer Akas and Tang Suoye to the fort.
