Chapter 93 "Arrogant at First, Respectful Later"

"Click~" The sound of the door lock being opened, even though it was slight, was heard clearly by Chi's father, Chi's siblings, and Wang Tong, who had been paying attention to this place and had remained silent except for the initial conversation.

Just as Father Chi was about to step forward, the Chi brothers and sisters had already impatiently run past him.

Father Chi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and called out, "Old Wang, let's go over too." Without even looking at whether Wang Tong was following him or not, he took a step forward and followed his son and daughter.

Seeing that he was suddenly alone in the living room, Wang Tong blinked speechlessly, and after a moment of hesitation, he quickly followed.

He was also very curious about Xiao Xiao's achievements.

Moreover, his old friend's solemn promise made him look forward to Xiao Xiao even more.

Anyone who can do business of his scale is naturally not a person who listens to opinions from others. Even if he disagrees, he still has to speak with facts.

I just don't know if Xiao Xiao can live up to Lao Chi's praise? And whether he can live up to his expectations?
……

"Master Xiao, you're out?" Chi Xiuchuan greeted him politely first, but Chi Xiu Ke was a little impatient. She was eager to prove to Uncle Wang that Xiao Xiao was a true master, and not the liar he thought!
"Master Xiao, how is it? Is it solved?"

Looking at Chi Xiu Ke's extremely eager and expectant eyes, Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, but simply nodded with a smile on his lips.

"solved."

"This house will never catch fire for no reason again."

"Yeah." Chi Xiu Ke nodded happily, and looked at Wang Tong who was walking behind her with a little suppressed pride.

Wang Tong smiled good-temperedly.

Instead, Chi's father walked up and patted Chi Xiu Ke's little head, scolding her with a smile: "Little girl, you have no respect for your parents."

Chi Xiu Ke puffed out her lips, said nothing, and turned back to admire her latest idol, Master Xiao.

Wang Tong waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay."

Just when he was about to ask something, Chi Xiuchuan's exclamation attracted the attention of everyone except Xiao Xiao.

"what happened?"

Everyone asked as they came forward impatiently.

Xiao Xiao considerately made room for him at the door.

Without guessing, Xiao Xiao knew that Chi Xiuchuan must have seen the scene in the study.

……

It was just as Xiao Xiao expected. Chi Xiuchuan did not step forward to interrupt because Chi Xiu Ke was talking to Xiao Xiao. He glanced forward casually, just casually glancing at the situation in the study, but his gaze suddenly froze, as if something was wrong?
Chi Xiuchuan frowned and thought for a while, then he suddenly realized and couldn't help but exclaimed, why is this study so empty?
How come there isn’t even a desk besides those two big bookcases?
too weird.

At this time, other people also came over. Father Chi, who was very familiar with the study, immediately noticed something was wrong and asked, "Old Wang, you haven't decorated your study yet?"

"No, it wasn't like that before."

"Yes, where is my desk? Where is my sofa?" Wang Tong was stunned.

The study room in front of him was empty and there were traces of burns everywhere.

"This, this..." Wang Tong didn't know what to say for a moment.

The mess in the room clearly showed what had happened here before.

Even though Wang Tong didn't know what happened, he at least knew that it must be very dangerous.

When he walked into the house, he could smell the hot air, which almost made him feel like he was burned.

The floor and walls were all covered with traces of flames. The desk, sofa, large potted plants and all the other objects that should have been in the study except the bookcase had inexplicably disappeared. This scene, which was as tragic and a bit weird as after the war, made Wang Tong feel a chill down his spine. What on earth was in his room?
But no matter what it was, it's gone now, right?
Thinking of this, Wang Tong turned his head with some complexities and looked at Xiao Xiao who was standing quietly outside the study. He was a businessman who traveled all over the country for many years, so he naturally knew much more than his father Chi who was more inclined to academic research.

After trying various scientific methods to find out the cause of the fire in the house without success, he wondered if there was something dirty in the house and thought of asking an expert to take a look.

When Lao Chi knew that he had this idea, he strongly recommended Xiao Xiao to him.

It was an old friend's recommendation, and he had to accept it no matter what.

His initial disappointment and contempt now seemed to be a mistake on his part.

……

Xiao Xiao felt very sorry for the loss of Wang Tong's study. He had not considered it carefully before. He should have moved all the things in the study out first before he could eliminate the monster.

However, now that things have come to this, Xiao Xiao is wondering if his labor fee can offset the ruined study room?

The moment she raised her eyes, she happened to meet the gaze of Wang Tong, who had turned his head at some point. This gaze... seemed very complicated?
Because you saw the miserable state of your study?

Just when Xiao Xiao was about to give a friendly smile, he saw Wang Tong walking towards him with a rather aggressive look.

Huh? Xiao Xiao was already thinking about whether his New Year's money would be enough if he was asked to pay.

"Master Xiao!"

Xiao Xiao was distressed to find that his New Year's money might not even be enough to compensate for a corner of someone's table. Tears were streaming down his face, but he looked calm on the outside: "Boss Wang."

"Hey, Master Xiao, why are you so polite?"

The same words, but this time they were much more sincere and heartfelt.

"It is me, Old Wang, who has no eyes to recognize a great mountain, no eyes to recognize a gold inlaid jade, and has mistaken a pearl for a fish eye..."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Xiao, who was a little confused by the sudden turn of events, suddenly felt his forehead twitching and he quickly interrupted the other party.

However, he was so skeptical before, "Mr. Wang, do you really believe that I solved it?" He thought that Wang Tong would ask him to produce clear evidence to prove that the problem of the house was indeed solved by him before he would believe him.

If that were the case, he had already thought about his reaction.

Of course there is no reaction. Time will prove everything. Why should he add unnecessary troubles and create troubles for himself?

However, now, Wang Tong had obviously changed his mind about him 180 degrees, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Master Xiao, I've told you not to be so polite. You can just call me Lao Wang or Wang Tong." Seeing that Xiao Xiao did not comment, Wang Tong immediately changed the subject and answered Xiao Xiao's previous question.

"Believe it, why not?"

"I do have some vision." Wang Tong smiled, a gleam in his eyes flashing.

A true businessman.

Xiao Xiao stopped dwelling on this topic and apologized, "Sorry, your study is ruined."

"It's okay, it's just a study room. Master Xiao, don't worry about it."

……

Seeing Wang Tong's enthusiastic and attentive attitude, everyone in the Chi family said: ...

Father Chi could only shake his head and smile helplessly at his old friend's temper.
