But everyone did a good job of praising Xu Lang for his youth and potential. But as to how sincere they were, we won't discuss it here for now.
Xu Lang was sitting in the middle surrounded by everyone.
His seat was facing the door of the box and was the main seat.
"Well, it's not good for me to sit here. Liu Lao, you should come here!"
Xu Lang still wanted to shirk responsibility, but he still had to put on a show.
"No! Today is Mr. Xu's reception, there is no reason for me to sit in the main seat."
After several refusals, Xu Lang finally sat in the main seat.
Sun Lao and Liu Lao sat on either side of him.
There is no reason to keep guests waiting for such a high-end restaurant.
Liu Lao gave some instructions, and a row of more than a dozen waiters in uniform lined up and brought the dishes in their hands.
Everyone puts down their dishes, removes the lids from their plates, and announces the names of their dishes.
He bowed to Yingying at the dining table before politely leaving.
As they drank and chatted, the relationship between them eased a little and they were no longer as unfamiliar as before.
"Xu Lao, I'll toast you alone."
When the wine was at its best, Zhuge raised his glass.
He has something to say.
The two men clinked their glasses, and Boss Zhuge took a sip of the wine.
"Mr. Xu, Secretary Yang, who used to work for me, is now working under you. I wonder if Mr. Xu is dissatisfied with her."
Boss Zhuge smiled, but there was indeed a hint of urgency in his words.
"Hey, Mr. Zhuge, what you said is true. If you are willing to give up, how can I be dissatisfied? But I brought two secretaries with me, and I am a little wronged by Secretary Yang.
If Zhuge Boss is dissatisfied with you and makes you angry, why don't you transfer her to a better position yourself?"
Boss Zhuge got a cold shoulder.
It's not a good thing to get angry.
"No way, Secretary Yang has a rather arrogant temper. It would be good for him to be trained under Master Xu. Thank you Master Xu for taking care of him!"
“It’s our boss Zhuge who cares so much about his subordinates.
Let’s drink one together.”
Liu Lao stood up and raised his glass.
Everyone drank a round together, and the matter was over.
The dinner didn't last too long and it ended soon.
Everyone left one after another.
Just when Xu Lang was about to leave,
However, Xu Lang was quietly stopped by Zhao Lao.
Mr. Zhao said, "My driver has something to do at home today. I wonder if Xu Lang can give me a ride home."
Although Xu Lang was surprised, he did not refuse.
Xu Lang's current car is a Rolls-Royce.
The driver was also his confidant from the previous association. He arrived a few days earlier than Xu Lang, and finally completed the procedures for the new car the day after Xu Lang arrived.
After Xu Lang got in the car, he asked where Mr. Zhao lived and told the driver to drive there first.
Xu Lang asked the driver to close the partition, and then he and Mr. Zhao sat in the back seat.
Xu Lang was still a little confused about Old Zhao. He didn't know what she was trying to say. What could a kind-looking old lady want from him?
Just when Xu Lang was confused, Mr. Zhao took the initiative to speak.
"I heard that you are Professor Xiang's student. I wonder if Professor Xiang is doing well?"
Xu Lang was a little surprised when he heard Professor Xiang's name.
【Name】:Zhao Xinyue
【Age】:61
[Secret]: An old acquaintance of Professor Xiang, and once the old professor's first love, but they separated due to some strange circumstances. But they have been in contact over the years.
The pupil technique provided Xu Lang with the information he wanted.
As for first love, Xu Lang had never heard Professor Xiang talk about it.
However, because of this relationship, Xu Lang also let down his guard towards her a little.
“Professor Xiang has been doing well recently.
He took good care of me when I was in college. Unfortunately, my children didn’t like me very much.”
Xu Lang hesitated to speak.
Old Zhao nodded, she probably knew some information.
"Really? Lao Xiang and I are old acquaintances."
Zhao Lao just said one sentence without explaining.
But Xu Lang knew the relationship between the two, so he said a little more.
"But I took Professor Xiang out of the school's classroom dormitory and found a nanny to take care of him. His life has improved a bit. But the old professor still doesn't want to leave the classroom."
Xu Lang told Zhao Lao about Professor Xiang's recent situation bit by bit.
Some she had heard of, some she didn't.
"Oh!" Mr. Zhao let out a long sigh.
"Thank goodness that Mr. Xiang has a good student like you." Zhao Lao's eyes softened as he looked at Xu Lang.
"He was in such a difficult situation because he was too stubborn and didn't know how to handle things tactfully."
"Yes!" Xu Lang agreed.
“I think your temper is similar to Lao Xiang’s.
The strong are easily broken, especially in the Magic City." Zhao Lao's words were meaningful.
But she didn't say much.
The car hadn't arrived yet, so Zhao Lao thought about it.
"You are a newcomer, so I can't say much. But you should be careful. Among the seven masters, Zhuge and Sun are actually quite hostile to you. Because some of your previous actions have touched their interests."
Xu Lang naturally knew what Zhao Lao was talking about.
But he was also surprised when he heard it. Zhuge Lao could see it, but that beautiful woman, Sun Lao, was the most enthusiastic one to him at the banquet just now. Unexpectedly...
After the old lady explained these things to Xu Lang, she also told Xu Lang about some of the unspoken rules of the association and provided Xu Lang with a lot of help.
Xu Lang benefited a lot from it.
There were some things he knew, but there were many more things that he, a newcomer, could not understand.
Thanks to Mr. Zhao’s words, Xu Lang avoided a lot of detours.
Xu Lang didn't expect that even in the Magic City, he would still be taken care of by Professor Xiang.
Otherwise, Mr. Zhao, who has no relationship with me, would not help me.
Zhao Lao arrived home very quickly.
Xu Lang stood up to see him off.
"Zhao Lao, I'll take you there!"
Xu Lang was also somewhat grateful to Zhao Lao.
The two men walked closely together, and Xu Lang accompanied Zhao Lao to the gate of the community.
Chapter 210: Liar
Xu Lang took the initiative to send the old lady to the door.
Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I plan to bring Professor Xiang to Shanghai. First, I also need help in Shanghai, and the professor is a professional. Second, the professor is old after all.
Since you and the professor are old acquaintances, you can meet up with him later. This will save him from being unfamiliar with the place."
After saying this, Xu Lang saw the old lady's body tremble, as if she was a little excited.
But she covered it up well.
Xu Lang could only see her back. The old lady nodded and continued walking forward.
Even with Zhao Lao as an invisible helper, Xu Lang did not relax.
"Come out with me!"
When Xu Lang found Yang Xuefei, she was working at her workstation.
Hearing Xu Lang's words, his body froze.
But he got up quickly.
"Xu Lao, where are we going?"
Yang Xuefei was obviously a little nervous. She had no idea what Xu Lang wanted to do.
"Aren't you a local? I want to go to the antique market in Magic City. Can you show me the way?"
Yang Xuefei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that they were going out.
After all, it is common to go to the antique street to inspect with the boss.
She didn't think much about it and followed Xu Lang.
Inside the elevator, Xu Lang said, "I'm a stranger. Just call me by my name outside. Don't expose yourself!"
After that, the elevator stopped. Yang Xuefei was still a little confused, but quickly caught up with Xu Lang.
Xu Lang's assigned car was too flashy, so he opened the car assigned by the association, which was a little more low-key.
"Tell me, where are you going? And introduce it to me."
After Yang Xuefei got in the car, Xu Lang asked.
"City God Temple."
Yang Xuefei said this and took the initiative to operate the navigation.
Xu Lang nodded with satisfaction.
“The Chenghuang Temple Antique Market has been around for quite some time!
It consists of three parts: the treasure house on the ground is full of antique shops, the old street is full of small vendors, and there is also an underground antique city with many foreign toys. "
As the secretary of the Tianji Association, Yang Xuefei is very familiar with Shanghai's antique city.
“Although this antique street doesn’t look big and isn’t as famous as some of the nationally renowned antique cities, due to the special nature of Magic City, there are too many wealthy people here.
Therefore, the items circulating in the antique street here are among the best in the country in terms of both value and rarity.
But it is still a common problem in the antique market: antique shops sell authentic items, but the prices are high, while small vendors sell cheap items, but they are difficult to judge.
The antique shop in the basement is a combination of the advantages and disadvantages of both!"
Yang Xuefei never stops talking, and Xu Lang's understanding of this place is getting deeper and deeper.
Seeing that she spoke so clearly, Xu Lang couldn't help but praise her: "Okay, you speak well."
When Yang Xuefei heard Xu Lang's exaggeration, she actually felt delighted.
The antique city was soon reached.
Xu Lang took Yang Xuefei and walked directly towards the treasure house.
She had said before that this place was full of large antique shops.
