Chapter 34 Good News
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry, but it was not just one person who was in a hurry. Qian Bo was the one who was anxious when he came, and Tan Xuan was the one who did not want to delay for a moment when he left.
"Tan Zi, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Qian Bo couldn't help asking after getting into the car.
Tan Xuan glanced at Qian Bo, snorted and said, "I've done everything you can do, why are you still staying here? Are you waiting to be thanked and resented in the future? You still have the nerve to say how much social experience you have."
"Why would I feel disgusted?" Qian Bo was a little confused, but he was not angry because of Tan Xuan's words, because Tan Xuan's reminder reminded him of the principle of "knowing when to stop". He was so happy today, it was not in vain, the task was completed in excess, and he didn't care if he reacted slowly.
Qian Bo curled his lips and said, "Then you shouldn't be in such a hurry to leave. Didn't I tell you when I came here that you should take the benefits when you should? The more you ask for, the more powerful they will think you are."
"If I don't want benefits, can't I show my ability? He wants to ask me for help for 200,000 yuan. I still have my dignity. Your ancestors must have accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes to allow you to meet a friend like me. Otherwise, it would be useless for him to beg me." Tan Xuan snorted again and drove away from the downstairs of Director Chang's house.
"You said there's 200,000 yuan in the card Director Chang gave you?" Qian Bo's eyes widened. Hearing the amount, he was no longer interested in whether his ancestors had accumulated good karma. After Tan Xuan confirmed it, he shouted at Tan Xuan: "Are you stupid? You don't even want 200,000 yuan. How many online ride-hailing orders can you run with that?"
"What are you yelling about?" Tan Xuan rubbed his ears, glared at Qian Bo unhappily , and said with disdain: "Is two hundred thousand a lot? Anyway, I never charged this price when I made a move. Of course, except for the time when I saved you."
"It's only been a short while, and you still think two hundred thousand is not enough?" Qian Bo was completely stunned. He turned his head to look at Tan Xuan as if he didn't recognize him.
Tan Xuan laughed, "How do you think I bought that house and my car? I earned them from working. Wake up."
"You bought the house you live in yourself, and you also bought the car yourself. Logically speaking, you really can't afford it at your age. My house still belongs to my grandfather..."
Qian Bo grabbed Tan Xuan's right arm and said, "Tan Zi, tell me the truth, is there still a chance for you and Cheng Zi? Tell me what's wrong with her, and I'll ask her to change it when I get back."
"Come on." Tan Xuan shook off Qian Bo's hand. "There's nothing wrong with her. It's my fault. A ride-hailing driver is not worthy of her. We are not on the same level and have no common language. Don't match us up randomly."
"Is there really no possibility at all? Even if you are impulsive, she will get pregnant with your child."
"Shut up! I'm going to kick you down." Tan Xuan and Qian Bo scolded with a smile.
What Qian Bo said before might be true, but Tan Xuan didn't believe what Qian Bo said later at all. He knew that Qian Bo's family was not new to money, and as for whether he would be blinded by money, it was impossible for it to be reflected in these hundreds of thousands of dollars.
After talking and making a fuss, Qian Bo waited until the car had left Director Chang's residential area before he said seriously, "Tan Zi, today's matter is all thanks to you. I won't say any polite words. I'll remember it all, brother."
Before he could finish his words, Qian Bo changed the subject again, "Actually, you shouldn't have left so hastily today. We should help people to the end and help them to the end. If we can see things through to the end and solve the problem directly, I think Director Chang will be more grateful to us."
Tan Xuan turned his head to look at Qian Bo and sneered, "Don't be greedy. Know when to stop. It's enough as long as it helps you get promoted. If you get too involved, you will cry so hard that you can't even find the tune."
Qian Bo heard that Tan Xuanhuali had something to say, and asked hurriedly: "What do you mean? Do you have any other discoveries? Or did you lie to them?"
Tan Xuan was very dissatisfied when he heard this, and he asked in a choking voice: "Who are you calling a liar? When have I ever lied to anyone? You are the one who said this, and you deserved to be killed by those little ghosts."
Qian Bo knew he had said the wrong thing, and quickly apologized to Tan Xuan, "Tan Zi, don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant. Your abilities are there, and everyone has seen your methods, so how could you be lying? Talk to me, is there anything you have discovered that you haven't told me?"
Tan Xuan snorted again, and while waiting for the red light, he looked at Qian Bo and said, "Of course, some things should be said half and left half. It's not a good thing to say them all. Do you think it's appropriate for you to get too involved in the leader's affairs, especially the leader's family affairs?"
Qian Bo shook his head vigorously, "Of course that's inappropriate."
"That's it." As soon as the red light passed, Tan Xuan stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. After another intersection, they would reach the residential area where they lived.
Qian Bo asked curiously, "Why don't you help me? Is that ghost who holds my life very difficult to deal with?"
Tan Xuan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a playful smile, "I didn't see that. I thought your mind was not in the service area today. That ghost is not difficult to deal with, but I don't want to care about it. I have already pointed out the way for them. As for how they go, that is their business."
"What's the meaning?"
"As the name suggests, the life-pulling ghost is a ghost that leads the person who owes it to hell. But the name "life-pulling ghost" has another meaning, which is its homonym, "qiaoming", which means "owing a life". Because the person who owes the debt is a life, his guilt comes from this, and he wants to repay the life with a life, do you understand? This is why I will not get involved anymore. It is not a good thing to know too many secrets of others, especially when they are the ones you lead. Whether Mr. Chang did it intentionally or unintentionally, he was at fault. You should thank me for pulling you back in time. Otherwise, if you volunteered to go to Luanshan to investigate again, and you still expect to be promoted to a regular section chief, just dream on. You will be banished to some cold palace to wait for retirement in advance."
Qian Bo was shocked, and the joy he had just felt in trying to please his boss disappeared in an instant. "Are you saying that the woman named Li Ying was killed by Grandpa Chang?"
"No, Mr. Chang just owed the other party something. The other party did not die in his hands, otherwise, the ghost who came to him would not be this kind of life-stealing ghost. But no matter what the reason is, it is the family scandal of your director's family, otherwise Mr. Chang would not be so confused and keep silent about it.
"That's right." Qian Bo nodded thoughtfully, and then when he looked at Tan Xuan again, his eyes changed, "Tan Zi, tell me, where are you from? Why do I sometimes feel that your mind is more delicate than mine? You understand the twists and turns here better than I do."
"Me." Tan Xuan laughed, "I used to be a charlatan. I said one thing to one person and another thing to another. That was how I made a living. Of course, I am different from the fake Taoist priest you met at your leader's house today. I am a high-end person."
"High-end routes, what are these high-end routes?" Qian Bo instantly became interested.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. This is a business secret. I have to keep it confidential for my clients. Get out of the car."
While they were talking, the car had already arrived downstairs of Qian Bo's house. Tan Xuan directly drove Qian Bo out of the car. He was not interested in discussing that issue any further. He still had to go out to work. Now was the peak time for taking orders.
There are many orders in the summer nights, especially on weekend nights. After having a good meal, Tan Xuan has been busy. He is busy, but he is happy. Hearing the continuous receipt of the information on the mobile phone, Tan Xuan is very happy.
At around 11 o'clock at night, the orders finally decreased, and Tan Xuan parked the car on the side of the road and found a restroom to relax. When he came out to find a place to eat a midnight snack, he received a call from Xiao Di. When he heard the ringtone, his originally good mood was immediately discounted.
"Hello, is there anything wrong?" Tan Xuan asked casually.
"Hello , Tan Xuan, where are you? If you're not busy, please buy me some midnight snacks." Xiao Di said yawningly on the phone.
"What!" Tan Xuan asked loudly. He knew that there was basically no good news when Xiao Di called him at this time, and if there was any good news, he would not come to him. However, he did not expect that he would make such a request.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Buy me some food and bring it over. I'm starving."
She was so confident in ordering him around that Tan Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sister, I'm an online car-hailing driver, not a food delivery guy. If you're starving and want to have a midnight snack, you can order food. Come to me and I'll find it for you."
"What are you talking about? Hurry up. I'm busy now and don't have time to order takeout. Oh, and buy me a cup of coffee. When you get here, I'll tell you good news."
Xiao Di didn't give Tan Xuan any chance to explain or complain. He just hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
"Damn! If I don't have time to order takeout, how can I have time to call me? What good news can you have..." Tan Xuan complained to the night scene on the street.
Although he complained, Tan Xuan still found a fast food restaurant of a foreign brand. He had no choice but to go there to buy coffee in the middle of the night. This place was open 24 hours a day, so he could also have a bite at the same time.
When Tan Xuan delivered the takeaway to the door, Xiao Di was sitting in front of the computer with dark circles under his eyes, busy with something. Several screens were filled with images of Su Cheng and the others' activities last night, but some images were clear while others were blurry, and even the faces could not be seen clearly. It was obvious that they had been processed.
"You're finally here, give me something to eat." Xiao Di was not polite and directly took the food from Tan Xuan's hand, put it on the table and started eating.
Seeing Xiao Di wearing homely clothes and with messy and unkempt hair, Tan Xuan grinned, "No, you haven't eaten or slept for a few days? Eat slowly, don't choke."
Fortunately, although there were many things , it did not look dirty or messy, unlike the first time he came. Tan Xuan sat directly on the sofa.
Xiao Di glared at Tan Xuan with her bloodshot eyes, and said incoherently while eating something, "I haven't rested since I came back last night. I could still drink some water during the day, but now there's no water at all."
"You're awesome!" Tan Xuan gave Xiao Di a thumbs up, then said sarcastically, " We're not in a hurry, can't you just take your time with your stuff? No one's rushing you."
"What do you mean no one is urging me to update? I posted a clip of the activity video online this afternoon and the response was very strong. Many people urged me to update it."
"Really? Hehe..." Tan Xuan agreed perfunctorily, "Isn't this the good news you want to tell me?"
