Chapter 18 [Return to Luoyang]
"Without Qianyin, it is a bitter fruit."
——"Notes from Master Shanyu"
The earliest bus to Luoyang was swaying. Lu Xiaoqi closed his eyes and finally had a stable sleep.
But I still have no peace in my dreams. I don’t know when he was in a mist of starlight and the wind came and killed me!
It was still the same ancient battlefield. The people wearing robes took off their outer robes, which seemed transparent. Each of them assisted a soldier to kill the enemy. The momentum was surging. Everyone in the battlefield was full of fierce moves. The entire battlefield changed rapidly, and all rivers competed for the flow!
A man in red robe fell from the sky. In an instant, one of them was in great strength and he was driving forward like a storm!
Lu Xiaoqi tried his best to see the man in red robe clearly, but when the red robe turned around, Lu Xiaoqi was so scared that he screamed and woke up when he saw that the hood was empty under the hood.
He was covered in sweat again. Lu Xiaoqi looked at himself wearing a torn clothes and carrying an old bag, and his beard was unrestrained. The passengers next to him were already away from him, afraid that he would be a homeless man. He heard his scream, which scared the other passengers very much, and he looked more like he was crazy.
When the bus got off, Lu Xiaoqi arrived in Luoyang again.
He first went to cut his hair and shave his beard. The stall next door said that the boss and his sister-in-law ran away. The boss's wife cleared the stock. Lu Xiaoqi looked at the yellow-faced wife and bought a few more sets of classic T-shirts and shorts with deep sympathy.
After taking care of it, he made up his mind to do a big thing in Luoyang.
He took the room card given by Huang Fu to stay in the hotel. When the waiter saw Huang Fu's name on the computer, he was very polite and immediately sent a portion of fruit to his room. Lu Xiaoqi asked him: "When will you Boss Huang come back?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment and immediately understood: "Mr. Lu, are you talking about Mr. Huang who asked you for a room card? You misunderstood! He is not the owner of our hotel. Our hotel owner's surname is Li. Mr. Huang has a very good relationship with our Mr. Li, so Mr. Huang's friends are all distinguished guests."
Lu Xiaoqi is clear. I have always been rich people only play with rich people, or those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to Mo are black. Lu Xiaoqi is worried about Mr. Li. He has a thought, and he will beat rabbits, and one is also a fight, and the other is also a fight.
"Then... can I meet you Mr. Li?" Lu Xiaoqi planned to dig through the bottom of the matter.
The waiter smiled embarrassedly and felt embarrassed: "Well, I can't answer you yet. So, you should rest first and wait for me to ask our lobby manager. Please contact him and ask him. If Mr. Li is free, I will definitely help you make an appointment immediately."
Lu Xiaoqi nodded, his eyes began to float. As he crossed the waiter's shoulder, he saw two women in their twenties walking out of the elevator, talking and laughing, walking in the other direction.
He quickly nodded absent-mindedly and signaled that the waiter could go down, turned around and followed him quickly.

By the way, Su Lai had a lot of fun these two days. He was pulled by Lao Hou and put it back after the midnight snack. He shook it back to his room and knocked on the door next door as usual. After hearing that there was no one, he didn't care. Anyway, Lu Xiaoqi had to climb back with such a free place to eat and live.
The next day, after washing up, he walked out of the room and saw the guy humming a little tune and shaking it one after another, coming from the other end of the corridor. Su Lai looked around and looked at him very puzzled: "Stingy guy, where did you come out? You have gone to the wrong room!"
When Lu Xiaoqi saw him, the thief Xixi whispered: "It's absolutely right. I just called last night and was invited to play all night, and had a long talk!"
Su Lai Shi immediately smelled the scum: "What phone number?"
"I just dialed the door number and asked. Do you need special services? They were very interested. I went there."
After hearing this, Su Lai Shi was speechless and reacted and chased him and punched him: "You are a scumbag! You don't call me for such a good thing! You don't call me! You also have special services. I guess it's fortune telling, are you?!"
The two of them were making a fuss. At this time, the waiter who Lu Xiaoqi had met came over and came to greet Lu Xiaoqi. He said in a serious tone that President Li had given him that he had not received good hospitality. Please forgive me. If there is any small matter, just ask the waiter! If there are other things, he would be in the office on the 15th floor all morning and ask them to have refreshments.
When Lu Xiaoqi heard that he knew that the waiter did not treat him perfunctorily yesterday, he really helped him make an appointment with their boss. Instead, he admired Mr. Li. He was smart in business and must be both lenient and strict. This hotel is so organized and particularly humane, right?
"Mr. Li?" Su Lai didn't understand, and Lu Xiaoqi didn't explain. He responded to the waiter saying that he would definitely go over to disturb him after using breakfast. Thank you for your kind hospitality.
Su Lai didn't ask much, thinking that since he was the hotel boss, it would be okay to see him; Lu Xiaoqi's face was really good, and after three levels of relationship, he really dared to cheat others.
In this way, Lu Xiaoqi and the others knocked on the door on the 15th floor and walked in in a big way.
The office is very grand. As soon as you enter the door, you set up a silk screen of Jiuyu playing lotus. Walking in, the sandalwood fragrance thrills. Lu Xiaoqi saw a mahogany altar beside the wall. In front of the exquisite ceramic Guanyin statue, there were several fruits, flowers, and scented fragrances. After passing the partition, he saw a grand leather sofa, a marble coffee table, a large table behind, and a striking Feng Shui fish aquarium on the other side.
Mr. Li was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. As soon as he saw them, he knew who they were. He immediately got up and smiled to greet him, stretched out his hands to shake hands one by one.
Lu Xiaoqi held his hand, felt it intentionally, and secretly let down half of his heart: This Mr. Li does not have a bad jade spirit aura, at least he is not a victim.
Mr. Li presented his business card, and Lu Xiaoqi glanced at him. His name was Li Huan. He had a lot of industries and was a good businessman.
When Lu Xiaoqi saw this, he felt that he and Huang Fu were not together at first sight.
A gentleman's friendship is as light as water, while a villain's friendship is as close as wine and flesh.
Huang Fu's smile was so sweet that it made people wonder if he had other intentions. Even if it was finally confirmed that he did not, the word "deliberately please" still appeared in his heart, which was really too strong.
The Li Huan in front of him is much more reasonable, and he always maintains an appropriate social distance from himself.
Shirt and trousers, tall and square face, kind eyebrows and eyes, and some wind and frost hidden in the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, but they are still kind. When they meet for the first time, they are polite and kind, and they are also polite and gentle. They pour tea and serve water with a dignified waiter around them. He always smiles and does not give people a sense of oppression.
"Mr. Li actually likes fish?" Lu Xiaoqi was used to being familiar with it.
Li Huan laughed and said, "Those who do business hope to have a prosperous fortune, keep water and make money, and have surplus every year, just for good luck. Let the two laugh."
Lu Xiaoqi was clichéd and said, "Hey, what I mean is, I think everyone who deals with Mr. Huang likes jade, such as Marquis. I didn't expect that not only do you have jade on you, but you don't even have any jade ornaments in such a grand office!"
When Su came, he looked at Lu Xiaoqi and realized that he was talking strangely. He understood that his drunkenness was not about wine, but he didn't know what he meant.
When Li Huan heard Huang Fu, he nodded and praised: "He... he is a gentleman who is truly worthy of beauty. We are a role model, and I can't compare to it."
These words sound like half-true and half-false flattering words, but Lu Xiaoqi saw that he was truly impressed.
Su Lai repeatedly expressed his interest and wanted to listen to the past of Huang Fu. Li Huan could not resist and recalled it slowly. It turned out that when building this hotel, the land was very difficult, and Li Huan had almost no hope of getting it. Huang Fu mediated from it, and he didn't know how to get it back to life. This prime location was bid for by Li Huan at a low price, which helped a real benefit. Li Huan was beyond words for his gratitude to him, so he took the initiative to write him into the shareholder list, but Huang Fu never accepted his bonus, so the rooms he booked were all free. Huang Fu hosted all the friends VIPs. Huang Fu did not refuse this, and Li Huan felt a little more at ease.
When Su Lai came, he had already heard a lot of praises about Huang Fu from Lao Hou in the past two days. Today, he heard Li Huan say this again, and he couldn't help but be fascinated: "I look up to you! I'll be asking you how to be Mr. Huang's confidant online..."
"Then, when the hotel was built, you must have made friends with Mr. Huang?" Lu Xiaoqi asked. If it weren't for a friend, how could he help him with all his strength?
Li Huan shook his head: "I'm polite! Brother Huang, first of all, is my father's friend. After that incident, I saw that he was righteous, generous and open-minded, and I couldn't help but take it as a friend. Thanks to Brother Huang, I don't dislike him."
At this time, the three of them took a sip of tea together, as if they were savoring it, feeling that Huang Fu is a rare person in the world, and making friends with him means that his ancestors are virtuous. Lu Xiaoqi felt that if he further asked about Li Huan’s father and Huang Fu, he would be a little confused. So he talked a few words.
"I saw many businessmen worshipping the God of Civil and Military Wealth. Why did Li Huan worship a Guanyin Master here instead?"
However, Lu Xiaoqi's unintentional question made Li Huan look dim: "My father is now sick and I don't understand medical skills, so I can only send him to the best hospital for treatment. When working here, I beg Guanyin Bodhisattva and ask her to bless our family."
Lu Xiao said in a heart-to-heart, a wealthy businessman like you also needs Guanyin to protect him. Who should the people below look for? This is a reminder of the little girl in Qingtong Lane. I wonder if she has eaten enough recently.
He thought to himself that all living beings have their own sufferings and their own destiny. Just as he was about to ask more questions, Li Huan's landline rang.
Mr. Li hurriedly answered, but he didn't know what was said on the other end. He hung up the phone and apologized: "Originally, the two of you were talking to each other, so I should accompany you. But just now, the sanatorium said that my father was lost, and I want to go find him now. You two, you will lose your companion first today, and then come back and ask for it!" As he said that, he ordered the waiter to greet Lu Xiaoqi and the others, and he was about to go out quickly.
When Lu Xiaoqi heard this, he was right: "Mr. Li, one person has more strength, and we will help you find it!"
Li Huan looked nervous and nodded without thinking, so the three of them went downstairs to the parking lot together.
While the driver was driving, Li Huan showed the photo on his phone to the two of them. It was an old man with a smile in his eyes. Although he was thin and energetic, he had white teeth, and was wearing a woolen hat and scarf standing on the fitness equipment in the community. He looked at the festive old man, and he didn't look sick at all.
When Lu Xiaoqi said that he looked pretty good, Li Huan sighed: "I have a physical examination every year and I have been in good health. I gradually don't remember anything. I was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease a while ago. I am only in my seventies this year and I am almost not even a son. The only thing I remember is my eldest daughter who died early..."
He lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes. Lu Xiaoqi knew that he was crying, so he turned his face and pretended not to see it.
A man doesn't cry easily because he wants to save face too much. Li Huan is a kind father and filial son.
