When Zhang Shun woke up the next morning, his brother was naked, with his back to him, facing the bathroom mirror.
At first, Zhang Shun thought his brother was shaving, and was shocked: his brother still grows a beard! So grounded!
Then immediately discovered that he was wearing contact lenses, and he was relieved immediately. He felt that his brother was still very familiar with him. Nothing happened because the brothers had been sleeping in the same bed for the night, and suddenly started eating fireworks.
“Brother!” Zhang Shun yawned and asked, “Which chick did you lucky last night, mouth|Is it really spicy?”
Chu He picked up his shirt and put it on, while fastening the buttons, he said blankly: “Sooner or later, you will die on this unobstructed mouth.”
Zhang Shun has an advantage, that is, he doesn’t get angry easily, and he will pass by with a smile in case of trouble. Everyone around him knows that although the second youngest member of the Zhang Family is a dude who cannot be helped, he has a good temper and never engages in such bad things as men and women. Even if someone disobeys him face to face, he scolds him casually. Sentence, I will forget it in five minutes.
There is nothing to say about the eldest brother who has been in his family for a long time. Zhang Shun scratched his head, got up lazily and asked: “I’m going to find the master to come to the town house today, brother, why are you going? Get up?”
Chu He changed his face and said, “It’s okay, don’t do those sacred things at home!”
“Oh-the master on Xinglong Street, the whole northeast is famous from far and near, this house was haunted last night…”
“Being a businessman, can Feng Shui be able to move around?” Chu He relentlessly scolded: “You have nothing to do with girls and fights. Don’t bring those monks and Taoists home!”
Zhang Shun curled his lips: “Is it okay if you know it.”
His brother’s expression eased, and he went to the closet and picked a thin black tie, while tying it on, saying: “A Japanese consortium came to the city to invest in the name of religious visits. It is said to be developed in Sanlitun. There is a five-star hotel in the district. Mayor Huang asked our company to come forward to accompany the reception. I may not come back for dinner.”
The last sentence touched the heart, and Zhang Shun was a little emotional thinking that their brothers hadn’t had dinner together for a long time. He just wanted to say that I won’t go out to play tomorrow night. Let’s have dinner together at home. He just saw his brother picking up his jacket and walking out the door, walking steadily and without even leaving a goodbye.
“…” Zhang Shun said: “I really shouldn’t be guilty of being cheap.”
Zhang Er Shao yawned downstairs to eat, smiled hippiely with the old housekeeper, and flirted with the new maid, so he threw away the dishes and drove out the newly bought Ferrari. .
Although he promised his brother not to engage in feudal superstition at home, Zhang Er Shao only talked about it. In fact, he made up his mind to invite the “superior” to come and take a good look at Feng Shui. During this period of time, he felt that his family was not peaceful. Several rich goldfishes were raised in the pool in the front yard. There were legends among the servants that they saw white shadows in the corridor several times, not to mention the always gloomy warehouse in the backyard. Even the old housekeeper secretly told him that he heard ghost crying inside at night, so scared that he stopped barking from the German wolf dog who was watching the nursing home.
The first two kinds of people are the most superstitious these years, one is wealthy businessmen, and the other is intellectuals. Although Zhang Ershao was dull, he was not lazy when he was studying. He was sent to major national universities by countless super teachers and private teaching assistants. After graduation, he went to his foreign grandparents to get a master’s degree-that’s not a case. The master’s degree bought with money is a hard-brand master’s degree from foreign universities that successfully graduated from foreign universities by passing the exams and writing the thesis overnight. Had it not been for his father who had been seriously ill and had to give up his studies and return to China, now Zhang Er Shao could have returned as a doctor of cattle school.
So Zhang Ershao has both of them, so he believes in these gods and gods.
Zhang Shun made a phone call with one of the **** friends, the mayor of the city’s parents, Huang Pian and his nephew, Huang Pian, and asked, “Hey, Huang Pian’er, on which bed do you lie? Quickly? Come out for me, I have business to find you!”
Huang Pian said angrily: “You’re just lying on a bed of little pinkheads! I spent the middle of the night with the **** of the Environment Bureau last night! What are you doing? If you have something to say, you have nothing to say!”
“Hey hey-don’t hang up, don’t hang up, let me ask you, last time you said you would introduce me to the master surnamed Fang, do you have time to find him today?”
“What are you doing?”
“On business,” Zhang Shun said solemnly, “I’m haunted at home, please go and catch the demon.”
Huang Pian wanted to hang up the phone and go back to sleep, but when she heard that she suddenly got excited: “What catches a demon? What catches a demon?”
Zhang Shun then held the steering wheel in one hand and the phone in the other, and briefly recounted the panic scene last night. Huang Pian heard the sound, and repeatedly confirmed with Zhang Shu that it was not that he had a nightmare in the middle of the night or was joking and scary, and then said that this kind of excitement must be gathered, so he went to pick up Master Fang to join Zhang Shun.
“But isn’t your brother the most hated monk and Taoist priest?” Huang Pian asked, “Are you sure your brother will have a socializing tonight? If he suddenly comes back to Master Fang, I can’t afford to lose face.” /
Zhang Shun said: “Don’t worry about pornography, my brother will go to deal with Japanese investors with your uncle tonight-he won’t come back until midnight, let’s make a quick fight, or I won’t Dare to go home and sleep.”
Huang Pian exploded: “Don’t call me nickname!”
Chu He’s eyelids were twitching all afternoon, but he couldn’t figure out what happened.
He didn’t know that his brother, who had not succeeded or failed, had completely forgotten his morning warning at this moment.
He was led to the sofa of the Mayor’s Secretariat by the clerk. The secretary personally served the fruit plate and smoked, and made a special pot of Tieguanyin, and asked with a smile: “Mayor Huang knows that you are coming. Now there is a conference call that is not over yet-you sit and rest for a while, how long will it take me to show you?”
Chu He nodded and said nothing. After a while, the secretary came back in a hurry, with a little confusion on his face: “Mayor Huang said please go in quickly.”
Chu He almost guessed what happened, but didn’t say much, nodded and walked into the office, and directly opened the heavy wooden door.
The mayor’s office is a standard government-type double suite with a small living room outside and a study room inside. Chu He closed the door with his backhand, isolating the secretary’s curious gaze. After walking around the large desk, he saw a fat weasel with shiny fur, covering his neck with two paws, and writhing painfully on the ground.
“Chicken—chicken bones stuck my neck,” Mayor Huang rolled his eyes desperately: “Quickly, help me get it out–“
Chu He: “………………”
Chu He quickly picked up the weasel and turned around, sat on its back with one leg straddling it, grabbed the furry back neck, slammed the elbow, and made a crisp sound. The chicken bones sprayed directly from the weasel’s mouth. Out.
“Cough cough cough cough cough! Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough!” Am I so rude?”
“…” Chu He said, “Stay away from me, fat man.”
Mayor Huang immediately got up from the ground with an unbelievable agility for the fat man, and he tucked his tail into his trousers and said sternly: “Don’t call me nickname!-Let me talk about the mayor. Not fat, the mayor is plump!”
·
There are many benefits for a weasel to be a magistrate. According to Mayor Huang, he may be greedy when he is an adult. Just let him come with two chickens a day.
Of course, there are some disadvantages. For example, the secretary often smells the weird smell of fried chicken in the mayor’s office, and there are sometimes chicken feathers on the ground with unknown origin and blood stains.
Of course, compared with this disadvantage, the benefits of Mayor Huang are really beyond words in this city. For example, when there was avian flu in the north, Mayor Huang became angry and ordered the Health Commission to conduct a thorough investigation, which quickly ensured the safety and health standards of the city’s poultry meat industry; The mayor worked vigorously and thoroughly checked. In order to prevent the hidden dangers that the relevant departments would cover up and down, he even tried his best to try the fried chicken on the street stalls every day.
Probably because of the good official voice, the Central Youkai Management Committee turned a blind eye to Mayor Huang-although he was not promoted, he has not been flattened or demoted for at least a few years. .
Mayor Huang is still very complacent. He feels that as a monster, he can enter the eyes of human beings. It is really a shining ancestor.
This is how Chu He hit him:
“Don’t dream, □ people from Maoshan can line up in a line. There is also a special office in Guoan. Nine out of ten people are zombies. Who has the time to deal with your small mayor of seven or eight lines?”
Mayor Huang: “…I’m a parent official at any rate, please save some face!”
The parent officer, Mayor Huang, carried his huge body into the red flag car angrily. Because of the large area, Chu He almost couldn’t even fasten his seat belt, and finally took the buckle from Mayor Huang. Pulled out from under his big ass: “…Old Huang, you really want to lose weight.”
“I lost five catties of meat this week, do you know!” Mayor Huang said bitterly, “Since I learned that the Japanese Aida consortium is coming to invest in our 7-8 tier small cities, the province has been old school People come down to cut the beard, which makes me have trouble eating well, sleeping well, qi and blood deficiency and mental weakness, so I have come back!”
Chu He held his breath, fumbled and buckled the seat belt before he breathed a sigh of relief.
“You said that the Central Demon Committee has no objection to me. Why do the provinces always look at me not pleasing to the eye? Do they know that I am a weasel? Surely not!-Is it because I robbed old Wu that bastard? Lao Zi’s mayor’s seat? But that was his own death! Although the collapse of the overpass in the city center was also caused by the earth, the main reason was that Lao Wu’s veterans had eaten too many rebates from the developers. If I hadn’t taken you out of the Jinmao Mansion on the spur of the moment, the concrete foundation collapsed and hundreds of people on that road would have died…”
Mayor Huang skillfully took out a greased paper bag from the side of the car seat, took out the chicken bones from it, and crunched it.
“You said how difficult it is for our city to develop from a small county town to the present, and finally attracting foreign capital, my dignified mayor was so excited that he didn’t fall asleep for three days, and I was in tears! The province did not say that it strongly supported and praised it. Well, I even sent someone down to cut Hu, and my conscience was eaten by dogs! Isn’t it because the old Wu who was brought down by me is a direct line of the province! — I want to sneak into contact with foreign businessmen without telling me, fortunately I I found it early and annoyed Lao Tzu to fart and collapse them!”
The corner of Chu He’s mouth twitched invisibly.
“Who was sent from the province?”
“It is said to be the reception office for foreign guests.” Mayor Huang said: “A female director surnamed Li, with a little white face surnamed Zhou, and a few clerks. Humph, I want to come together to meet foreign businessmen today. They were deliberately drunk, packed and thrown in the hotel…”
This Japanese foreign businessman arrived yesterday, and he invited a banquet last night. Mayor Huang originally intended to arrange another tour today to showcase the city’s strong development momentum, and then set up a sauna in the evening to further cultivate relationships; but the Japanese side is very efficient and directly proposed to go to the suburban development area to see the venues and strive for it. The site selection was settled in these two days.
Mayor Huang doesn’t have much to say about it—a quick deal is finalized as soon as possible, so that this piece of fat falling from the sky will not be missed.
“3.5 billion foreign capital investment, maybe after the hotel is built, a large leisure and entertainment center will be built nearby.” Fatty Huang finished chewing the chicken bones, wiped the grease nipple, and patted Chu River’s shoulder with serious concern: “Don’t say brothers don’t take care of you, Mr. Chu, if this project can be won, I, Huang Daxian, will treat you as my grandfather!”
“…” Chu He said: “Don’t you.”
Speaking, the red flag car has stopped in front of the suburban development center. This place is already some distance away from the main road, and it is surrounded by a lot of empty land. Except for the exhibition center that was set up temporarily during the architectural planning, there are only a few hospitals and middle schools far away. Not far away, there is a real estate development zone contracted by a builder. The scaffolding just got up, and it is still bumpy at the moment.
The Japanese investor has actually arrived, surrounded by a group of people, standing by the barbed wire around the open space and wondering what they are looking at. No one even noticed the red flag car stopped.
Mayor Huang got out of the car timidly and waved his hand full of breath: “Hey–“
Everyone turned around.
Immediately afterwards, the director of the exhibition center, relying on his thin body and flexible body, pushed everyone away and rushed over first: “Mayor Huang! Mayor Huang! It’s not good, we have something wrong!”
He grabbed Fatty Huang, and his whole body was shaking: “Yes—Yes—someone jumped off the building!”
Mayor Huang: “Huh?!”
Chu He got off the car immediately, and saw that the director was also frightened, shaking in a ball on a hot day, and sweat dripping down his eyebrows without time to wipe: “The one on the side–that construction site, just now Someone jumped down from above, I, I, I, I, I saw him fall into such a big piece! We called the police just now, you can count on the mayor, what can we do about this…”
Mayor Huang: “What did you say?!”
“The person who jumped down is my translator.” A man in a well-groomed gray suit walked up to the crowd, reached out his hand and shook Mayor Huang, and said politely in blunt Chinese: “My translator just said he would go The toilet jumped from above in a blink of an eye, and it happened to be seen by everyone.”
The scene was in chaos. Mayor Huang wiped his sweat and smiled and shook hands with the man, and turned his head and explained to Chu He in a low voice: “This is Mr. Aida Yoshitaka, the current head of the Aida Foundation…” Calmly greeted everyone: “Calm! Calm! The police will come right away, no one is allowed to move the scene!”
Chu He’s gaze crossed the crowd, looked at the construction site, and then retracted after a while, falling on a young man in a white robe on the Japanese side.
The boy was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome face and wide-sleeved robes, followed behind Aida Yoshihide with low eyebrows, silently like an invisible man.
However, for Chu He, his sense of existence is very distinct-the suit he wears is a hunting suit.
The boy is an onmyoji.
Presumably noticing Chu He’s gaze, Ai Tian nodded politely, pointed to the boy and introduced: “This is my nephew, because I know a little about catching demons and monsters, so I brought him Exploring engineering feng shui and assisting project site selection.”
Speaking, he patted Mayor Huang’s fat shoulder with a deep meaning, and smiled: “——My nephew has a good temper, and will not act arbitrarily on the basis of his ability, so the mayor really doesn’t need to be afraid. Hahahaha!”
The other people in the chaos did not understand, but Mayor Huang’s face changed almost instantly.
“Mr….Mr. Aida joked,” the big beads of sweat on the weasel’s fat face rolled down, almost unable to maintain a smile: “Hehe–it makes the young boy handsome and promising hehehe. Haha—”
The young Onmyoji came forward and leaned respectfully in Mayor Huang’s almost horrified look. His voice was natural and soft: “Hello, Mr. Huang, my name is Lan Yu.”
Immediately after he turned to Chu He, he seemed to feel a certain dangerous aura in an instant, his pupils were slightly widened and contracted.
“…” The young Onmyoji clasped his left thumb on the right palm, clasped his hands, and leaned back to perform a special meeting ceremony for the warlock:
“Meeting for the first time, please take care of me.”
