"Yes means yes, no means no, what is yes and no?" As Tang Xiaobei spoke, his tongue became a little sluggish, and he said angrily: "Why are you here reciting tongue twisters with me?"
"My subordinate was originally on a mission here. I just saw my wife. I was thinking about whether I would like to say hello because she is kind to me. Before I could think of it, I was discovered by this lady."
The woman glanced at Kita Chihiro helplessly: "This madam is too powerful. My subordinate has been here for several days and has never been discovered. Madam was just passing by and found her all at once."
When Tang Xiaobei heard this, he couldn't help but look at the woman deeply.
Among the ten major social customs summarized by Mr. Lin Yutang, one of them is that small favors given to others will be spread widely.
It means that if you give people some small help, you will spread the word.
This phenomenon is very tacky and not worth advocating, but the vast majority of people in this world are ordinary people. Even if they help others without publicity, they still hope to be grateful from others.
After all, no one likes a white-eyed wolf.
Therefore, the fastest and best way to gain a person's favor is to let him know that you appreciate him. This will make the other person feel that you are a grateful person, and will also make him feel that your help is not in vain.
Next time something good happens between you and another person, there is a high probability that it will favor you.
There is a high probability that the woman was not here specifically waiting for Tang Xiaobei, but she just happened to meet her and was discovered by Bei Qianxun.
But she didn't say that, but deliberately mentioned Tang Xiaobei's help to her, just to leave an impression on Tang Xiaobei that she was grateful.
By the way, I also want to give Kita Chihiro a pat on the back.
Although she didn't know Bei Qianxun's identity, the identity of someone who could walk side by side with Tang Xiaobei and who would give him a helping hand from time to time must not be simple.
Don't worry about whether it's useful or not, let's flatter you first.
Anyway, it’s just a matter of one sentence. If you get it wrong, there’s no big loss. If you get it right, it’s an unexpected surprise.
Perhaps because she was born at a lower level and the people she came into contact with were all simple and honest lower-class people, the woman's methods were not subtle enough and Tang Xiaobei saw through them at a glance. However, if the woman had such awareness, she would stand out sooner or later.
Sure enough, Tang Xiaobei then noticed that Bei Qianxun raised his eyebrows at her.
This shows that the woman’s flattery just now was right!
In fact, Kita Chihiro had received rigorous training since childhood, so he naturally saw through the woman's little thoughts.
But maybe she was too depressed before. After Kita Qianxun married Jin Feng, she no longer had to scheming and fear, and her character became more and more pure.
If you are happy, you are happy, if you are unhappy, you are unhappy, just like a child.
Even though he saw through the woman's little thoughts, Kita Chihiro still couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Tang Xiaobei rolled his eyes at Bei Qianxun and was too lazy to talk to her. He turned to look at the woman and said, "Since you are on a mission, go ahead and don't get caught chatting with us."
The most important asset of a secret agent is his identity. Once his identity is exposed, the value of the secret agent will be greatly reduced, and he may even face great danger.
The last time the woman went to report the situation to Tang Xiaobei, she chose the beach. Except for Qing Mulan and Tang Xiaobei's personal guards, there was no one else.
Tang Xiaobei's personal guards were all selected from the earliest batches of bodyguards. Their loyalty was strictly scrutinized, and the possibility of leaking secrets was relatively low.

But now that there are many people around, the woman's identity is much more likely to be exposed.
"Thank you ma'am for your understanding!"
The woman bowed to Tang Xiaobei and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped: "By the way, madam, I accidentally discovered something while performing my mission today. Madam, are you interested in hearing about it?"
Since the woman asked this, the matter was probably related to him, so Tang Xiaobei asked, "What's the matter?"
"I accidentally discovered today that someone bought Lao Li's yard." After the woman finished speaking, she pointed to a yard not far away: "That's it."
Tang Xiaobei turned around and looked at the courtyard.
He knew that the courtyard belonged to a family named Li in Yuxi Town.
This family's ancestors were wealthy and built a relatively large yard at that time, but it fell into decline decades ago and all the salable possessions were sold, leaving only this big yard and two boats.
Previously, a family of more than a dozen people were so hungry that they almost sold their yard and boat at a low price. Jin Feng summoned fishing boats to pick kelp on Maolang Island. They relied on two broken boats, and their lives suddenly became better again.
Among the refugees were not only poor people, but also some small landowners who could not bear the local banditry and fled to the East China Sea.
Although Jin Feng has always said that landlords are parasites that lie on the people and suck blood, he has to admit that most landlords are smarter than tenants because they have received education since childhood.
After they arrived in Yuxi Town, they found that the public security here was very good, and Jinfeng was building a factory here. It was obvious that he wanted to develop Yuxi Town, so they started to buy a house and prepared to settle in Yuxi Town.
The landowners were very generous, and their bids were higher than those of the county government for a yard of the same area.
The fishermen have never seen so much money, and there are actually many people in Yuxi Town who have sold their old houses and are going to live in the county government because of their greed for immediate profits.
In their opinion, these landowners were stupid for paying more than the county government to buy farmhouses by the sea.
This situation was a free trade, and Jin Feng couldn't stop it. He just asked Hong Taoping to arrange for the elders to explain the pros and cons to the people of Yuxi Town.
If anyone wants to sell their house at that time, it will be their own choice and they cannot blame anyone.
The Li family's house is relatively large, and there have been a lot of inquiries recently.
However, the current head of the Li family has read books and is a scholar. He knows that the land in Yuxi Town will become more and more valuable in the future, so he refuses all those who come to inquire about the price.
Later, he felt that there were too many people asking about the price, so he simply hung a sign at the door saying that the house was not for sale, and then he stopped.
Tang Xiaobei is one of the people besides Jin Feng who knows the future development potential of Yuxi Town best, so she started buying a house very early.
In fact, Tang Xiaobei also fell in love with this house some time ago, but she found that the owner was unwilling to sell it, so she didn't send anyone to ask.
Although Tang Xiaobei was a little surprised as to why the owner suddenly sold the house again, it was just a house and it was sold as soon as it was sold. Tang Xiaobei didn't care much about it.
What she was concerned about was why the woman told her this.
So he looked at the woman in confusion and asked, "What's next, is there anything wrong with this yard?"
"There is nothing wrong with the Li family's yard. The problem is with the people who bought the yard." The woman said mysteriously.
“Yard buyer?”
Tang Xiaobei frowned and thought for a moment, then blurted out: "Isn't it the Dongman princess who sold this yard?"
