C78 (1/2)

Not long after hanging up the phone with President Liu, he came up the stairs huffing and puffing. He found me immediately and seemed to be in a hurry, it seemed like he came in a rush, as though he was a completely different person compared to the cowardly look he had on the phone with. However, I did not have the mood to care about that now, I only wanted to deal with him first, so after greeting Uncle Chen, I followed President Liu to his house.

The President Liu lives in a seemingly normal looking small district next to the school. The decorations in the house are very ordinary, and it doesn't look as grand and luxurious as I imagined. Instead, it has the aura of a literary person, and the room is filled with stuff similar to Meilan Swordbamboo and other special posturing objects.

However, these things were all very normal. What really caught my attention was a sculpture on a profound entrance facing the main door. It was completely black and shiny, with a body like a tiger or leopard, a head and tail like a dragon.

The reason why I could recognize this object at a glance was because I had studied this thing before as an art major student at school. I said that this Pi Xiu was one of the nine sons of dragons, and was able to swallow all living things.

Because of this, the Chinese people regarded it as a kind of auspicious and devilish Jirui beast, which had the function of protecting the house from evil and evil spirits. At the same time, it also symbolized that its wealth would be increased and its official status would be promoted.

In short, to put it bluntly, this thing was a good thing. It would only benefit and not hurt if it was left at home.

But even so, he had great skill in the way he placed them, and the most important point was that they couldn't go directly to the main entrance.

Unfortunately, the President Liu didn't seem to understand this, and actually placed the Pi Xiu directly in front of the main entrance with its big mouth. This was clearly a big taboo.

However, I wasn't too concerned about this matter. I was also suspicious of whether or not this thing really had the ability to do so, so after looking at it a few more times, I sat down and watched as President Liu gave me a bottle of water before silently waiting for him to speak.

However, what I didn't expect was that not long after I sat down, President Liu pointed at the Pi Xiu and asked me: ”Does Master Ma know what this is?”

”Pi Xiu, they are here to collect money.” I was too lazy to bother with these, so I replied casually.

President Liu nodded his head again, and continued to speak: ”This Pi Xiu was asked for by an expert when I was building the school, it was extremely exquisite, all these years I have moved to a few other places, but I could not bear to throw it away, I kept it.”

I indifferently looked at President Liu, thinking to myself, could it be that you brought me here in the middle of the night just to chat with me?

As a result, I silently watched President Liu as he spoke, and my eyes lit up. However, in my heart, I started to mutter to myself, thinking that this completely black Pi Xiu was probably carved from the entire piece of obsidian stone, so the price must be pretty shocking, no wonder this President Liu said that this thing was going to show off the moment he opened his mouth.

Maybe President Liu found that I was not interested in what he was talking about, after pausing for a bit, he suddenly changed the topic and asked: ”Does Master Ma feel that there is anything special about this Pi Xiu?”

”A special place?” When I heard this, I was also stunned. Aside from the problems with the display, if one must find a special location, then it would be the price.

Thinking about it here, I lightly asked President Liu, ”Such a large Pi Xiu, it must have cost a lot of money.”

President Liu smiled lightly, gently shook his head and said, ”I didn't spend a single cent.”

”You didn't spend a single cent?” I was surprised when I heard that. I think it's worth at least ten thousand for such a big thing. How could he not want money? Is there really such a good thing in the world?

President Liu was obviously very satisfied with my shocked expression, and told me that the expert had given this to me.

Hearing that, I curled my lips, not wanting to see President Liu's complacent expression, I could no longer suppress the irritation in my heart, so I directly said: ”I only know a little about this thing, I don't really understand it, if you called me here just to say that, I'm afraid it will disappoint you.”

President Liu is a smart person, how could he not understand the meaning behind my words? He then laughed and apologized again and again, and in the end, pointed at the Pi Xiu and said: ”Actually, the reason I invited you to come was really because of this.”

When I heard this, my eyelids really jumped, almost going berserk. I thought to myself, you must have had enough food, to bring me to your house late at night to see your Pi Xiu?

I tried my best to suppress the anger in my heart, but, as the saying goes, not looking at the monks while looking at the buddha's face, no matter what, he still helped me. He is the leader of Lanlan's school, so even if I want to get angry, I have to restrain myself.

However, even if I wanted to, I could clearly feel that my expression had become much colder.

But also at this time, President Liu stood up and entered the room, but after a while he walked out, with a piece of paper in his hand, he placed it in front of me and chuckled: ”This is Master Ma's reward for taking care of Chen Lanlan and the other students, I hope you do not mind.”

After hearing that, I looked over. Oh, it really is a cheque worth fifty thousand yuan, I didn't think that President Liu would be so generous.

To be honest, I was extremely angry when I saw this scene. I thought to myself, 'Aren't you f * cking messing with me? How much better is it to take out this cheque earlier? Aren't we all happy?'

Thus, I chuckled and said, ”President Liu is too courteous.”

But, although it's courteous, I can't not take the money. I have spent close to a thousand yuan just to get a room, it's a private matter for Lanlan, but the other two are official affairs.

President Liu did not say a word as he watched me receive the cheque before saying, ”Master Ma is young and capable, probably the same as this Pi Xiu, a dragon and phoenix amongst men.”

I have to say, the older, the wiser, President Liu has brought me into the affairs of the Pi Xiu, and only then did I receive someone's cheque, so I shouldn't immediately fall out with him!
