”Shi Lei, you have never let me down. No matter what, I have faith in you. Previously, I had some doubts about whether you could carry such a heavy burden. Now, I'm not worried at all. If you can't do it well, who can? ”
”Master, you're drunk. Go back to your room and rest.” Shi Lei supported Peng Quantong and smiled as he advised.
”I'm drunk, but not drunk. I understand everything.” Peng Quantong waved his hand and said.
”Old Peng is happy, so are we.” Old Wen patted Shi Lei's shoulders and said: ”Shi Lei, in our line of work, finding a qualified disciple is not easy, and it is even harder to be able to teach a good disciple.”
”That's right. When you finished speaking, Minister Zhou was the first to stand up and clap. Following that, everyone present immediately stood up … Heh heh, I thought back then, how good would it be if this disciple was my senior? It's a pity that you don't think much of my abilities as a tinker. ”
Luo Baiqiu patted Shi Lei's shoulder, his face was also slightly tipsy as he said with a gratified expression, ”Work hard.”
He was a famous baker. It was already rare for him to take the initiative to pat someone on the shoulder.
”I will.” Shi Lei nodded seriously.
Just as Shi Lei was about to support Peng Quantong and enter the room, they met a familiar face in the corridor.
It was Xiu Hao who he had met once before, and he also recognized the other person. It was the guy who had dinner with Xiu Hao at the Western Restaurant of Zi Roland.
This is a gathering of the Chinese medical community. Why would the two of them come here?
Could it be that he happened to live in the Swallow Garden?
Xiu Hao who was greeting others seemed to have sensed someone's gaze on his face.
They followed the feeling and looked straight into Shi Lei's eyes.
Although Xiu Hao still maintained a gentle and refined smile, he was a little suspicious in his heart.
Why was he here?
It looks like Lu Yan's decision to not investigate this fellow was wrong. Don't let the boat capsize.
Xiu Hao nodded towards Shi Lei before turning his face to busy himself.
Although Shi Lei had his doubts, he did not take it to heart. He supported Peng Quantong into the room.
The second exchange of blows between the two had passed by each other without a sound.
Because Peng Quantong was drunk, it was not good for him to abandon his master and go back to sleep. Thus, he stayed in the Swallow Garden at night.
Thinking that Li Huazhen would be worried, he made a phone call to explain the situation.
Li Huazhen thought that Shi Lei didn't go back because he was having an argument with Li Tongxi, and was trying to persuade him otherwise. It took Shi Lei a while to dispel his suspicions.
Early in the morning on the second day, just as Shi Lei was about to get up, the hotel's internal phone rang.
Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Shi Lei? the man's voice asked politely.
”It's me.” Shi Lei said.
