Chapter 41: Everyone Who Sees It Has a Part
Money is the most attractive thing. When Su Cheng saw a bag of money in front of him, his eyes lit up instantly. What fear and anger were all unimportant at this moment. But Su Cheng's eyes soon dimmed again. He looked at the money, then at Tan Xuan, and sighed with regret.
Yang Junwen pushed the money in the paper bag in front of Tan Xuan and said in a flattering manner: "Master Tan, this is just a token of respect, please accept it."
Tan Xuan did not reach out to take it, but just tore off a piece of tissue to wipe the blue stain on his hands that was stained from the "female ghost"'s face, then nodded slightly and returned to his original serious expression.
Yang Junwen pushed the money in front of Tan Xuan and then tactfully withdrew his hands and asked, "Master Tan, if there is no problem, what is the time of the activity..."
Tan Xuan threw the tissue into the trash can, looked at his hands which were not too clean, and said casually: "You decide the time, the sooner the better."
"How about the night after tomorrow?" Yang Junwen asked.
"The day after tomorrow?" Tan Xuan frowned slightly, and finally glanced at Yang Junwen, "Why choose the day after tomorrow? The day after tomorrow is the Zhongyuan Festival."
"My friend said that it is easier to attract ghosts on the night of the Ghost Festival." Yang Junwen rubbed his hands and replied, then asked: "Master Tan, is the day after tomorrow not suitable? "
Tan Xuan snorted, "There's nothing inappropriate, as long as you make the right choice."
Hearing that everything was fine, Yang Junwen breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Tan, where do you live? I will pick you up in person the day after tomorrow night."
Tan Xuan waved his hand and said, "No need. After I have collected your travel expenses, it would be inappropriate for me to ask you to pick me up and drop me off. I won't bother you. Just tell me the time and place, and I will go there directly when the time comes."
"Master Tan, you are joking. I am the one who is bothering you." Yang Junwen said politely with a flattering smile, and told the time and location of the event. "The time is 11 o'clock the day after tomorrow, and the location is at the railway bridge west of Binjiang Square."
Tan Xuan stood up and picked up the bag of money. "I see. Let's meet then. You should have a rest. As long as your sister doesn't come, your room is quite clean."
"Let's go." Tan Xuan called out to Xiao Di and Su Cheng, and they quickly stood up.
"I'll see Master Tan off."
"Need not."
When Tan Xuan picked up his things and was about to leave, the door suddenly opened and a young man carrying two shopping bags walked in sweating profusely. The waiter outside helped close the door.
"Brother Jun, I bought your clothes for you. Oh! You have guests." The young man walked into the living room and saw Tan Xuan and others. He looked at the three people standing there and handed the shopping bag to Yang Junwen with a smile. The man's eyes stayed on Xiao Di for two more seconds and ignored Tan Xuan and Su Cheng.
"Oh my goodness, I went too early and had to wait for a long time before the door opened."
Yang Junwen took the bag and waved to Tan Xuan, "Mr. Tan, please take care. I am not dressed properly, so I will not see you off to the door."
"Please stay." Tan Xuan and Yang Junwen waved their hands, glanced at the person who just came in, turned around and left with the bag of money.
After entering the elevator, there was no one else present. Su Cheng, who had not had time to speak, finally spoke up, "Sister Xiao Di, that person just now was really rude. He looked at you with lustful eyes. You can't tell at first glance that he doesn't look like a good person."
Xiao Di smiled calmly, "If the eyes are on someone else, can we dig them out?"
Su Cheng nodded and agreed with a curled lip: "That's right."
After going downstairs, Xiao Di and Su Cheng got into Tan Xuan's car. "Yang Junwen's sister is really abominable. She pretended to be a ghost to scare people. She almost scared me to death." Su Cheng patted his chest, still feeling upset when he mentioned that.
"Don't complain. Didn't Tan Xuan help you vent your anger? She is the unlucky girl. Why did she have to pretend to be a ghost? Tan Xuan made her look like a nobody."
"Tan Xuan, have you already figured out that she was pretending? You did it on purpose, right?" Xiao Di asked Tan Xuan, his eyes filled with an irrepressible smile.
Tan Xuan shook his head. "How is that possible? The situation was urgent at the time. How could I have had time to pay attention to anything?"
Xiao Di curled her lips, expressing her disdain for Tan Xuan's cover-up, "Tsk, you are just lying, I don't believe you didn't see it. You hit her face directly, and then kicked her, which is completely different from the way you beat ghosts before. Do you think the ghost's vagina is on her face, or on her waist? I think you are deliberately humiliating her."
"Believe it or not." Tan Xuan was too lazy to reason with the woman, especially when he was unreasonable. When he saw the elevator door open, he was the first to get out of the elevator.
"Just beat me up. What's there to be afraid of admitting? I'm not going to fight you to find fault with you. That guy just deserves a beating..." Xiao Di stopped talking after getting out of the elevator, and Se Cai Neng followed closely behind Xiao Di.
Back in the car, Tan Xuan casually threw the bag of cash into the passenger seat. As soon as he started the car, Xiao Di had already sat in.
"What?" Tan Xuan asked knowingly with a stern face.
Xiao Di threw the purse in the middle and buckled his seat belt directly. "What are you doing? Of course you're taking a ride. Am I going to use the toilet here? Su Cheng, how are you going? If not, let's go together."
"Hey! I haven't started accepting orders yet." Tan Xuan was very unhappy. Not only did this guy take a ride for himself, he also found someone to share a ride for free.
Xiao Di rolled his eyes at Tan Xuan in dissatisfaction , pointed at the paper bag between the two of them and said, "Don't be so obsessed with money every day. You have earned so much all of a sudden, and you still have the nerve to argue with us about this."
"Su Cheng, get in the car!"
"You guys go ahead. I have something else to do, so I can't stay with you." Su Cheng hesitated and rejected Xiao Di's kindness.
"Okay then." Xiao Di knew Su Cheng's psychology. Because of what happened yesterday, Su Cheng was embarrassed to face Tan Xuan, and as a half outsider, she couldn't say much.
Tan Xuan didn't say any polite words, and didn't even say goodbye. He just drove away. As for whether Su Cheng would attend the event, he didn't ask, and there was no need to ask. It was useless anyway.
The car left the parking lot of Jiangzhou International Hotel, and Xiao Di spoke, "You shouldn't treat Su Cheng like this. Although what she did yesterday was wrong, she is a girl after all, and you are a man. This makes you look ungraceful."
Tan Xuan snorted coldly, "Why should I pretend to be graceful? She sold me out, should I thank her? I don't want to wrong myself."
Xiao Di glanced at Tan Xuan and said sourly, "You call this putting yourself at a disadvantage? You made two hundred thousand in less than an hour. Your appearance fee is almost as much as that of a star. If you run into one or two suckers like Yang Junwen every year, you don't have to work so hard driving an online car-hailing service and can go home to retire directly."
Tan Xuan laughed, "Celebrities can only add icing on the cake, but what I do is to help those in need, how can we be the same? There are too few fools in the world now, don't always expect to meet one, if you meet one who pretends to be a fool, it will be even more difficult to say."
As he spoke, Tan Xuan took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Di without even looking at it.
Looking at the five brand new stacks of banknotes in front of him, Xiao Di did not take them. He just looked at Tan Xuan with a wary look in his eyes, "What do you mean by this?"
Tan Xuan laughed even louder and explained, "The rule in our business is that whoever sees it gets a share. Since you caught up, this is what you deserve. Don't worry, I have no other intentions."
"Then why isn't Su Cheng here?" Xiao Di continued to ask.
Tan Xuan snorted coldly, "Why doesn't she have it? Hasn't she already reserved and spent her share in advance?"
Xiao Di knew that Tan Xuan was filled with resentment, and she was also dissatisfied with Su Cheng's actions, so she didn't say much. Perhaps Su Cheng was not even qualified to receive the 20,000 yuan.
After waiting for a long time without seeing Xiao Di take the money, Tan Xuan stuffed it directly into her arms, "This is fate, she deserves only the 20,000. And you are lucky, you don't fight or grab, what is yours, you can't run away."
"Then I'll take it." Xiao Di was not polite at all, and directly put the money into his bag, saying happily: "This is really a windfall, 50,000 yuan, enough for me to make many videos, you charlatans still make money quickly."
" Unexpected wealth? It was clearly me who gave it to you, okay?" After Tan Xuan corrected him twice, he joked with Xiao Di, "You just took the money without even saying thank you for the reward? I see your anchors get so excited every time they receive a gift. Since you received cash and didn't get a share from the platform, shouldn't you say thank you for making me happy?"
"Shut up." Xiao Di didn't say anything to thank his elder brother. Instead, he glared at Tan Xuan fiercely and said, "I'm not the kind of anchor who does live broadcasts. I won't say what you said. If you want to listen to it, go find those who do live broadcasts."
"You don't do live broadcasts?" Tan Xuan was a little confused, "Don't all anchors do live broadcasts?"
" When have you seen me appear in a video? I only process videos and post them online, not live broadcasts. Didn't you see that Yang Junwen knew about 'Flute Pavilion' but didn't know me?" At this point, Xiao Di frowned, turned to look at Tan Xuan, and asked unkindly, "You haven't watched my show, have you?"
"I have seen it. How could I not have seen it?" Tan Xuan explained guiltily.
"Then how come you don't know that I never show my face in the video?" Xiao Di continued to ask.
"I haven't watched much, and I thought that you guys who run self-media... well, you all do live broadcasts, and if you call me big brother, people will give you tips..."
"Shut up. I don't do live streaming, and I won't go around calling people big brother just for a little money! I am a new media person, not an internet celebrity. You'd better make the difference." Xiao Di yelled at Tan Xuan, as if he had received a great insult.
"I understand, I understand." Tan Xuan smiled, but he was complaining in his heart. He had given out a portion of the money, but he didn't even get a word of thanks. He even made the other person unhappy. If she didn't want to call him "big brother", then she didn't have to. Why was she angry with him ? And the key point was that even though she was unhappy, she didn't even say she would return the money.
