Chapter 123 Smiling but Silent
"How long does it take for their wine to be ready?"
"The apes have a special brewing method, and half a year is enough."
"Although the personalities of the aborigines are not pleasant, the wine they make is indeed top-notch."
There was a hint of greed and admiration in the tone of the eel.
"If I have the chance, I will definitely try it."
Could this be the legendary monkey wine? No, this is much rarer and more precious than monkey wine. This is wine brewed by monsters. Xiao Xiao, who has never had much interest in wine, also became fascinated by this wine.
"There's an opportunity right in front of us." The duck glanced at the gibbon on the branch, and the gibbon couldn't help but lower their heads even lower.
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, isn't it?
"How long has it been since they made the wine?"
"More than three months."
"Let them go back to the mountains. I'll give them enough wine for the next three months."
……
"By the way, where are the shoes they stole?"
"In the tree hole."
"Tree hole?"
"This big tree was hollowed out by them."
Xiao Xiao: ...
……
Xiao Xiao turned around, and Wang Tong stepped forward with great tact, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing, "Master Xiao, is it done?"
"...Boss Cai, the customers' lost shoes are all under this tree." Xiao Xiao's eyebrows twitched, he looked at Cai Yousheng behind Wang Tong, and pointed to the only big tree in the yard.
"Shu Li?" Cai Yousheng was puzzled.
“The tree is empty.”
“Empty? How is that possible?!” This tree in the backyard of his own shop was transplanted when he first opened this shop. It has been growing well. How could it be empty?
"Really?" Wang Tong couldn't wait to trot under the big tree, but he looked helplessly at his beer belly which made his presence felt so obvious. He couldn't help feeling a little sad, thinking back to the time when he was so agile that he could no longer be caught up with.
"What's the matter, Old Wang? You still want to climb the tree?" Cai Yousheng came to his senses and saw Wang Tong under the tree, and couldn't help but speak sarcastically.
"With your size, don't come looking for me if you fall here."
"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." It was one thing for Wang Tong to realize it himself, but it was another thing to have it pointed out so clearly by someone else. Especially since this old guy had a smile on his face that deserved a beating.
"How do you think you're better than me?"
"At least I didn't try to climb a tree beyond my ability."
……
Xiao Xiao looked at the two shopping tycoons bickering like little kids, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to make so as not to appear too rude.
"Boss Cai, please ask someone to come and take a look." Xiao Xiao felt that he couldn't bear to listen any longer. Seeing that they seemed to be about to roll up their sleeves, he had to interrupt.
"Oh, yes, yes."
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Xiao." Cai Yousheng straightened his sleeves and gestured to the assistant behind him.
The assistant nodded in understanding and turned to look for someone.
……
Soon, the assistant came over with a few young guys.
After setting up the ladder, one of the young men swiftly climbed up the tree in two steps, poked his head inside, and exclaimed: "The tree is really empty!"
"And lots of shoes and bottles."
... "Master Xiao, how do you know this tree is empty?"
"Master Xiao, how do you know that the lost shoes and wine bottle are in the tree hole of this tree?"
Wang Tong and Cai Yousheng said in unison.
Xiao Xiao smiled but said nothing.
Seeing this, Wang Tong smacked his lips in understanding.
Cai Yousheng is not a dull person either.
Although the two of them wanted to know the answer very much, the other party would not cooperate. What could they do?
Wang Tong finally understood Xiao Xiao's temper a little bit, so he didn't dwell on it and raised a new question.
"Who stole these shoes and wine?"
Seeing Xiao Xiao still smiling and silent, Wang Tong understood, "Okay, this is something that cannot be said again, right?"
"Master Xiao, you can't tell me anything, right?" Cai Yousheng was also a little in awe of Xiao Xiao's mysterious methods. Although his words seemed to be complaints, they were just jokes.
"Thing is settled."
"From now on, no more wine will be lost inexplicably in Fresh Food House, and no more customers will lose their shoes inexplicably."
Xiao Xiao said that the most important result was told to them, and the rest were secondary and did not need to be taken seriously.
"Haha, okay, thank you Master Xiao for your help this time." Cai Yousheng reacted quickly. He was no longer a rookie, and he knew well that he should not ask questions that he should not ask.
"Master Xiao is really efficient and effective. He solved the problem so quickly." Wang Tong touched his stomach and said with a smile, "Well, now that the problem has been solved, Master Xiao must be hungry too, right?"
"Shall we go eat?"
"Yes, yes, look at me, Master Xiao, let's go and have dinner." When Wang Tongyi reminded Cai Yousheng of this, he remembered that they were called out by Manager Yu halfway after they had already ordered the food.
He almost forgot that Master Xiao hadn't eaten yet.
The main reason was that there were too many inexplicable things, which made him a little confused.
He was even confused about how the problem was resolved and had no idea why.
But seeing Vice President Wang Tongyi's unsurprised expression, Cai Yousheng also had some guesses.
In any case, the smile on Cai Yousheng's face became more sincere, and his enthusiastic actions, which seemed no different from before at first glance, now had a bit of true emotion.
……
It is a common trait of businessmen not to release the eagle until they see the rabbit.
No matter how much he believed in Wang Tong before, the doubts deep in his heart could not be eliminated.
Until now, even though he could say that he had seen nothing, Xiao Xiao had not told him anything except the final result. However, Cai Yousheng had been in the business world for decades, and his vision and perspective were not comparable to those of ordinary people.
Even though he couldn't see it, he could feel it.
Xiao Xiao has an aura that is different from that of ordinary people.
This is a mysterious and mysterious feeling.
Also, he had clearly been following Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xiao had only walked around the tree. How did he know that the tree was hollow? And how did he know that the lost shoes and wine were in the hollow tree?
Xiao Xiao's mystery does not seem pretentious because it is backed by facts. Instead, it makes people feel that masters are just so confusing, making them hard to grasp and guess.
……
After a delicious seafood dinner, Xiao Xiao got into the car that was taking him back home, feeling quite satisfied.
There was also a check worth 100 million in his trouser pocket.
Compared to the first time, Xiao Xiao felt almost nothing this time.
The spring scenery outside the window was bright and beautiful. The car was driving steadily and quickly. Xiao Xiao squinted his eyes slightly in comfort, feeling the cool breeze blowing across his face, with the corners of his mouth raised nonchalantly.
