Chapter 1734 - 1729: Guests Follow the Host’s Lead
At this moment, Hu Xiaobei was unaware that among the crowd, there was a person with a cold expression staring indifferently at the lively scene.
This person was none other than the mysterious figure who previously supported Ou Jingtian.
He had arrived here early today, but instead of rushing to find Hu Xiaobei, he quietly watched...
He wanted to know how capable Hu Xiaobei was...
"Looking at this, no matter how many people there are, everything is in order. From this perspective, Hu Xiaobei’s capabilities are indeed impressive!"
Watching everyone queue up in an orderly manner, he squinted his eyes.
Soon, he quietly disappeared...
...
"Xiaobei, little brother, you mentioned before that the mysterious man would return today, but now it seems you overthought it!"
"Indeed!"
That evening, they all complained to Hu Xiaobei.
Previously, because Hu Xiaobei had mentioned the mysterious man might come, they had been particularly anxious all day.
But up until now, he hadn’t shown up...
Hearing their slightly frustrated complaints, Hu Xiaobei asked with a smile, "Have the accounts been settled?"
"Yes, today’s profits are even better than yesterday’s, and the branch’s business is also picking up! At this rate, we’ll soon be able to monopolize the market."
"Yes, indeed!"
Discussing business, they were all very excited.
Because they truly saw the progress in business.
They knew that at this rate, they could really continue expanding.
"That’s really good news. Alright, you’ve all had a long day, now you can go back and have a good rest!"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s urging, they glanced at each other, shyly speaking in a low voice, "Let us go back? I thought you’d insist we go to your room for a drink of red wine!"
"Yes, indeed!"
Hearing their suggestive remarks, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes and said softly, "I was indeed thinking about it, but for now, let’s skip it because a guest has arrived. As the host, I should entertain them, right!"
"Guest? What are you talking about! How could there be any guest! We’ve already closed up!"
"Yes, exactly!"
"I know it’s closed, but someone has already come!"
Hu Xiaobei, looking at their bewildered faces, turned his head and pointed towards the gazebo not far away.
Following Hu Xiaobei’s gesture, they saw a smiling man in black waving at them.
Startled!
They were startled by the smiling man in black...
"When did he appear!"
"Yes, yes!"
Seeing their dumbfounded looks, Hu Xiaobei said softly, "He should have just appeared. Alright, you all go back to your rooms and sleep."
"Xiaobei, little brother, can you handle it?"
"Rest assured, nothing will happen."
"Oh!"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s confident assurance, they relaxed.
Soon, they glanced at Hu Xiaobei a few more times before turning and walking back to their rooms.
They knew they couldn’t help with anything by staying there, so it was better to return to their rooms; otherwise, they might end up distracting Hu Xiaobei.
...
After returning to their room, Shangguan Xue looked at Lv Xinxin and spoke urgently, "When did that person arrive!"
Lv Xinxin gently shook her head, "I don’t know either!"
"Who is that person?"
Hearing her question again, Lv Xinxin thought for a moment and responded, "I feel it should be that mysterious person!"
Stunned for a second, Shangguan Xue suddenly realized, "The one who was behind Ou Jingtian before? Is he here intending to make a move? Wouldn’t that mean Xiaobei, little brother is in danger?"
"Don’t worry, Xiaobei, little brother, is much more formidable than we have imagined, so let’s watch and see for now."
"Okay!"
With that said, they peered towards the gazebo through the crack in the door.
They were especially focused now, ready to rush out at the first sign of trouble.
...
"I thought I would need to call you to notice me!"
Just arriving at the gazebo, Hu Xiaobei heard these words softly spoken.
Looking at him indifferently, Hu Xiaobei smiled and spoke calmly, "I’m not blind, so I don’t need your reminder."
After speaking, Hu Xiaobei casually sat opposite him.
After sitting down, Hu Xiaobei was about to say something when he suddenly caught a strong scent of fragrance. He glanced down and a curious expression flashed in his eyes.
He had brewed the tea...
"I was bored here just now, so I made some tea. This tea leaves have a nice flavor, you can try it!"
After speaking, he was about to reach out...
Hu Xiaobei noticed it quickly and grabbed the handle of the pot. After grasping it, Hu Xiaobei said calmly, "You’re the guest, how can I let you serve the tea! Don’t you think?"
Hearing this, he looked deeply at Hu Xiaobei and said faintly, "Sometimes, who the guest is and who the host is, isn’t clear until the end, right!"
Understanding his implication, Hu Xiaobei sneered, "I think it’s very clear. Here, I’ll always be the host, and you’ll always be the guest! Have some tea!"
Frowning slightly, he restrained his smile and spoke again, "Is there really no room for negotiation? Working together, we could definitely accomplish something great."
Listening to his flattery, Hu Xiaobei directly replied, "There’s no problem with cooperation, but I lead, you follow. Otherwise, don’t even bother proposing, because I’m not Ou Jingtian, not fond of being a puppet."
"Young man, you really are fearless. In that case, I have other matters, so I’ll be going first! Enjoy the tea, as you may not have many chances to taste such good tea again."
"Don’t worry, I will definitely enjoy it! And next time you visit, let me, the host, know in advance, otherwise, I might break your leg next time."
"Alright! I’ll let you know next time, but that’s only if you’re still the host here."
Understanding his mocking, Hu Xiaobei responded coldly, "Whether it’s next time or the time after that, I will certainly still be the host here!"
Saying this, Hu Xiaobei watched him disappear into the darkness.
...
"He left so quickly? What did you talk about!"
After he disappeared, Shangguan Xue and Lv Xinxin, who had been observing from a distance, quickly appeared in front of Hu Xiaobei.
Because they were far away before, they hadn’t heard what Hu Xiaobei and he were discussing, so upon arriving, they were particularly curious to ask.
Noticing their eagerness, Hu Xiaobei squinted slightly and replied calmly, "We didn’t talk much, just that he didn’t want to be the guest, he wanted to be the host!"
"He wants us to be like Ou Jingtian?"
"Yes, that’s what he meant!"
"How did you respond to him?"
Sensing their tension, Hu Xiaobei smiled faintly and responded bluntly, "I didn’t respond, I just told him to get lost! I have many merits, except my legs are too good, so I can’t kneel!"
