There is a small courtyard teahouse where Xu Hongdou is drinking tea with Ma Qiushan.
"..., this person's brain..."
While making tea, Ma Qiu Shan talked about the philosophy of life with Xu Hong Dou. Xu Hong Dou was also a good talker and followed Ma Qiu Shan's words. As a result, Ma Qiu Shan was speechless as he talked.
.
Ma Qiushan was very depressed. He had previously invited Zhou Chen to have tea and talk about life, but in the end, he couldn't compare to Zhou Chen whether it was about making tea, tasting tea, or philosophy of life, so that he didn't ask Zhou Chen to have tea with him anymore.
Even if I drink tea, I mainly focus on tea tasting, not talking about life.
Today he found Xu Hongdou, thinking that he could teach Xu Hongdou a lesson, but he found that Xu Hongdou was not simple and had a lot of experience, and he couldn't even hold it.
At this moment, Zhou Chen walked in from outside.
"Xu Hongdou."
"Why."
Seeing Xu Hongdou drinking tea with Ma Qiushan in the tea room, Zhou Chen walked into the tea room.
"What's wrong?"
"Your mother can't find you. She called me here. Please give her a call."
Zhou Chen handed the phone to Xu Hongdou. Xu Hongdou looked shocked: "My mother can't find me, why call you?"
After saying that, she realized that her mobile phone was broken before and she was worried that her family could not find her, so she borrowed Zhou Chen's mobile phone to make a call. So her parents couldn't find her this time, so they called Zhou Chen.
.
Thinking of this, she felt a little worried, so she took Zhou Chen's mobile phone and walked out of the tea room.
Ma Qiushan raised his hand to invite: "Zhou Chen, would you like some tea?"
"OK."
Zhou Chen sat down where Xu Hongdou had just been, and Ma Qiushan immediately poured tea for Zhou Chen with a smile.
"When it comes to tea, I'm definitely not as good as you. Just drink some of my tea."
Zhou Chen said: "Whether the tea is good or not is not the most important, what matters is who you drink it with, Mr. Ma, what do you think?"
"Haha, that's good. Otherwise, in our small courtyard, you know me best."
Ma Qiushan laughed loudly. He had been with Zhou Chen for a month. He naturally knew that Zhou Chen was different from ordinary people. Even when he was prosperous, he might not have Zhou Chen's magnanimity.
"That's okay. Xu Hongdou's mother has called you. It seems I'm right. You really have a crush on her."
"I'm not married, and she's not married. Even if I fall in love with her, it's okay, right?"
"No problem, of course no problem, haha, I'm just curious, but you still have a good taste. This red bean is not bad, not bad."
"Master Ma, what about you, are you really prepared to hide here for the rest of your life?"
"Go, you are good at everything, but sometimes it makes people choke when you talk. What do you mean by hiding? Why should I hide?"
Ma Qiushan rolled his eyes and was very dissatisfied with what Zhou Chen said, but when he spoke, his eyes still averted for a moment, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Zhou Chen chuckled, which meant he was familiar with Ma Qiushan, otherwise, he wouldn't have said this rudely.
Xu Hongdou finished the call, came back, sat down next to Zhou Chen, and returned the phone to Zhou Chen.
"sorry to bother you."
"No trouble, there's no need to be so polite. Your phone should be repaired soon, but aren't you ready to tell your family about your resignation?"
Xu Hongdou said: "Aren't you afraid that they will be worried? Let's wait until some time later."
Ma Qiushan poured Xu Hongdou another cup of tea: "Drink tea, drink tea."
In the evening, Mr. Ma invited several people in the small courtyard to sit at a small table in the courtyard and drink tea.
Xu Hongdou, Nana and Damai were sitting together. Nana asked Damai with concern: "Da Mai, is your writing going well recently? Is there any writing problem?"
Damai scratched his messy hair, with a depressed look on his face: "Is there a day when it won't get stuck, but there is no way, I still have to update every day, I can only hold it in until the end."
Xu Hongdou said with admiration: "Da Mai, I think you are really amazing. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a living writer. You are really amazing."
"What's so great about it? I'm just an unknown writer at the 18th level. I'm chased and scolded every day. You don't know how stressful and difficult it is to write novels now."
Damai sighed. She had been confused all day long just for writing. Especially during the recent period, she had been under so much pressure that she even thought of giving up.
Mr. Ma pretended to be profound and said: "It's normal to have pressure. What kind of job is not stressful now? Damai, I'm very optimistic about you, you will definitely be able to do it."
"Thank you, Mr. Ma."
Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaoxia walked into the small courtyard from outside.
"Hey, there are so many people today. Is this a tea party?"
"Mr. Xie, you are here."
Zhou Chen and others greeted Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaoxia with smiles.
"Come and sit."
Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaoxia both carried things in their hands and placed them on the small table.
"I brought you some barbecue and beer, let's eat and drink together."
"Mr. Xie is very generous." Nana gave Xie Zhiyao a thumbs up.
Xie Xiaochun distributed the barbecue and beer to everyone, and everyone was not polite. Except for Mr. Ma, they all started eating and drinking.
Xie Zhiyao scratched his head, looked at Zhou Chen and said, "Zhou Chen, Xiaochun and I have something to ask you."
"Ask me something? Okay, tell me what it is." Zhou Chen said.
Xie Xiaochun said: "It's my younger brother Xiaoxia. He suddenly told his elder brother yesterday that he was going to Shanghai. Do you know about this?"
"I know. When I went to Master Xie's house today, I happened to meet him. Master Xie was very angry with him. Xiaoxia also asked me about the Magic City before. It seems that he really decided to go to the Magic City.
Already?"
Zhou Chen took a bite of mutton skewers. Yang Guanjun's barbecue skills can only be said to be average, but this is the only one in the village, so the business is not bad.
Xie Zhiyao nodded: "Yes, he also came to me yesterday, saying that he had a friend in the Magic City and wanted to seek refuge with him, and he also wanted me to persuade Uncle Heshun and Aunt Baoping."
"Then you are looking for me because you want me to persuade Xiaoxia?" Zhou Chen asked tentatively.
Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaochun looked at each other, and finally Xie Zhiyao said: "We know that you know someone in Modu, so we want to ask you to help us investigate the friend Xiaoxia mentioned, this child Xiaoxia
He's too innocent and has never been outside. It's not that we don't want him to go out and wander around. The main thing is that we are worried that he will be deceived."
Xie Xiaoxia added: "We are all worried about Xiaoxia. He is so old and has only been to Spring City. Suddenly he has to go to a place as far away as the Magic City. We are all worried about him, so we want to ask you for help.
"
Zhou Chen said: "Of course it's okay to help, but I don't know who the friend Xiaoxia is looking for. Do you have any information about him?"
"Yes, yes."
Xie Zhiyao took out his phone and opened the photo.
"When Xiaoxia showed it to me yesterday, I specially saved the photos. These are just a few photos. Xiaochun also looked at Xiaoxia's mobile phone. There was this person named Brother Kevin. Only the photos and the name could be checked.
Did you find any useful information?"
Zhou Chen took a few glances and said: "My company has a team that specializes in investigation and research. However, it is illegal to investigate other people's personal information privately. But if I just help you find this person, it shouldn't be a big problem. You
Send me the photo and screen name, and I'll have someone check it out. If everything goes well, there should be news in a few days."
Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaochun were overjoyed after hearing this.
"That's great, thank you so much, Zhou Chen."
"It's okay. You all care about Xiaoxia. There are indeed a lot of scammers these days. If you don't know the truth, you will be easily deceived."
Zhou Chen knew the plot, and naturally also knew that Xie Xiaoxia was indeed deceived out of only 30,000 yuan. Since Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaochun had begged him, he just agreed.
.
Xie Xiaochun even waved his hand and said: "Zhou Chen, from now on you can go to the restaurant to drink coffee and eat for free. Nana, remember this."
Nana immediately replied: "No problem, I heard you clearly."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "If you say that, I won't dare to go to the restaurant in the future."
