Chapter 248 Eating, Drinking, Lazards Are All Deceived
#Chapter 248:
Li Qi was quite curious about Shi Lezhan.
Although he had met once that day, he still couldn't imagine how this guy could be involved in the Bai family's affairs.
And looking at him, he doesn't look like someone with strong martial arts skills.
In fact, Li Qi's real purpose in participating in some kind of gathering of heroes and business competition this time was to get in touch with Shi Lezhan.
On the surface, this man is the richest businessman in Daxia, but he also has another identity, that is, he is a member of the Six Sects.
In the future, he would inevitably have to deal with people from the Six Doors, so Li Qi thought it would be better to get in touch with Shi Lezhan first.
…
The reason why Shuicheng is called Shuicheng is because there are many rivers near Shuicheng and it is also close to the East China Sea. The entire transportation of Shuicheng is mainly based on waterways.
The main economic pillar of Shuicheng is water transportation. Many merchant ships passing by here will stop to rest and replenish some supplies.
Shuicheng's poor geographical location has resulted in no local agriculture development, and all food is purchased from other places.
In addition, the local area has few other specialties, resulting in the people of Shuicheng relying on service transportation to support themselves.
It is because of this that the porters and entertainment industry in Shuicheng are extremely developed.
For example, there are countless inns, restaurants, brothels, and gambling stalls, but there are only a few cloth stores and grain stores.
After all, people who come to Shuicheng are basically outsiders. They come here to rest and relax for a few days and then leave.
The business fight started the moment Li Qi and Shen Jingbing stepped into Shuicheng, and in order to prevent the two from cheating, they were always followed by someone.
These people are not only responsible for monitoring their every move, but also counting their sources of income and some of the things they do.
In order to report the situation to the chief helmsman in a timely manner, new people will come to follow them within two hours, and the people who followed them before will go back to report the situation.
Under such circumstances, it is basically difficult to cheat.
Shen Jingbing, who entered the city with Li Qi, glanced at Li Qi with disdain on his face and said, "Boy, let's wait and see!"
Li Qi was too lazy to pay attention to him, just gave him a blank look, and walked towards the dock on his own.
Shen Jingbing did not go to the dock, but went directly to the busiest commercial street in Shuicheng.
Being penniless, the first thing to solve is to survive in Shuicheng.
Shen Jingbing was born as an accountant. His idea is very simple. First, find a job as an accountant so that he can have a place to live, and then find a way to start a small business. In this way, he will definitely be able to defeat Li Qi within a month.
As for Li Qi, he didn't want to work for others.
In his opinion, it is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life.
The reason why he chose to go to the dock was mainly because he heard from people that Shuicheng dock is the largest dock in Daxia, and many foreign cargo ships also stop here.
Since there were merchant ships from foreign countries, Li Qi wondered if he could find some foreign goods.
After arriving at the pier, looking at the rows of merchant ships and busy people, Li Qi couldn't help but sigh, this place is really big.
Looking at the blue sea and sky not far away, Li Qi wanted to go for a swim in the sea.
It seems that this place should be the main route for trade in Daxia.
Soon Li Qi discovered several foreigners. Judging from their appearance, Li Qi couldn't tell which country they were from.
Not to mention in this era, even in his own era, Li Qi couldn't tell what country those foreigners were from.
After walking around, it soon arrived at noon, and Li Qi's stomach growled involuntarily.
After touching his pocket, he realized that he didn't have a penny on him.
Damn it, I almost forgot that I am currently fighting with businessmen.
Put other things aside for now and fill your stomach first.
Thinking of Li Qi passing by a snack stall, he saw a dull, elegant scholar-looking guy eating noodles with gusto.
Li Qi licked his tongue and leaned forward.
"My dear friend, can I sit here?"
The scholar was stunned for a moment, glanced at Li Qi, grinned and said, "Of course."
Li Qi sat down and didn't order anything to eat, but stared at the scholar for a long time.
"Brother, why are you staring at me?" the scholar asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Li Qi smacked his lips and said, "Oh, what a pity, what a pity..."
"pity?"
Li Qi nodded and said seriously: "Judging from your appearance, you are a rich and powerful person, but you are destined to have a disaster and have to fall into this situation..."
The scholar was stunned when he heard this, blinked and looked at Li Qi and asked, "Sir, can you read faces?"
"I know a little bit about it." Li Qi said enigmatically, "I was just passing by this place. When I saw your dear friend's strange face, I couldn't help but come over to take a look..."
"Sir, what do you mean when you say that I am destined to suffer a calamity?" the scholar asked with a look of fear.
Li Qidao: "My dear friend, this fate may be great or small, but the secret must not be leaked... I can only say this."
With that said, Li Qi stood up and left.
The scholar was not willing to let him go, so he grabbed him and said, "Sir, please don't joke with me."
"Oh? Brother, do you think I'm joking with you?" Li Qi sneered.
Seeing Li Qi's expression change, the scholar hurriedly said respectfully: "I am reckless, sir, please don't blame me."
"If it weren't for your pure nature, why would I come here and talk to you so much?" Li Qi said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Sir, that's what you said." The scholar looked worried. He was still in the mood to eat noodles. "Sir, could you please tell me how to defeat the fate?"
"Well..." Li Qi said slowly, "This can't be explained clearly in just one or two sentences. I haven't eaten yet today, so I'm going to eat something first. If there's a chance, I'll tell you something later.
"
When the scholar heard this, he pulled Li Qi to sit down without saying a word: "Sir, if you don't mind, I will have a meal here."
As he said this, the scholar asked the boss to bring good wine and food.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Li Qi twitched his index finger and thought: This guy is really stupid and easy to deceive.
"Since brother is so kind, I won't be polite."
After saying that, Li Qi picked up the chopsticks and started eating hungrily.
After eating, Li Qi touched his belly with satisfaction.
"I haven't asked you Mr. Gao's name yet." Seeing that Li Qi had almost eaten, the scholar said respectfully.
"I'm the one who is called Kong Sanren." Li Qi said, "But today I have a fate with you, so I will tell you my name. My surname is Li."
"It turns out to be Brother Li." The scholar clasped his fists and said, "Shu Wenbin has met Brother Li."
"It's easy to say. Since I ate your food today, it means that the cause has been established. As for your effect, I will help you solve it." Li Qi said without blushing.
When Shu Wenbin heard this, he looked grateful: "Thank you so much, Brother Li!"
