The next day.

As the sky was just bright, the cell phone on the bedside table began to buzz from a corner of the curtain, which was sleeping in Tongguan.

Tongguan opened his sleepy eyes, fell on the pillow for a few seconds, and then slowly got up.

He grabbed the cell phone on the table, looked at the caller ID, then looked at Chang Nian, who was still sleeping, and tiptoed out of the bed.

After gently closing the bathroom door, Tongguan then answered quietly:

"Watch the chess? How do you know I'm back?"

Lang Lang's laughter rang out on the phone, and Li Guanqi said without any concealment:

"I was discussing things with several store managers. The manager of the Sixth Branch is also here. She also told me, brother, you have returned safely."

Although Tongguan was away for half a month, his vigilance was still as usual. He keenly captured the key points of these words, so he asked:

"It's so early, why are you many store managers gathering together?"

He glanced at the time and it was just past six o'clock in the morning on December 19.

At such an early time, many store managers gathered together, and it was obvious that there were some big moves.

Li Guanqi also knew when to say what to say, so he put away his smile and said solemnly:

“I have communicated with you, Manager Ji, and invited him to attend this rally.

This time, there is indeed a major event that needs to be discussed and involves more than half of the branches."

Li Guanqi actually didn't understand what he said very clearly, and obviously he had reservations.

However, Tongguan frowned when he heard this. Although the matter about branch management had nothing to do with him, he was now also a deputy store manager.

And, he also has an obligation to make the Seventh Branch more regular.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the sink for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and said:

"By the way, last time you came to the World Trail Museum to save me, you lost some sins.

Now I escaped from danger and brought them all back, and I happened to make an appointment to send these things to you."

Gu Xingjian, Miaojiang and the two designed Tongguan, with the goal of white candles, which is definitely not these sinful objects.

As their identities, they don’t take these things seriously and naturally they won’t take them away.

So after Tongguan escaped from danger, the sinful objects naturally fell into his pocket.

However, he obviously would not embezzle it, and he took this opportunity to return the sinful objects.

Li Guanqi agreed very happily, but hesitated for a while and asked:

"Does the store manager agree with that season?"

Before Tongguan could speak, the door knocked gently outside.

Tong Guan was worried about Ruomingjing and whispered to the other end of the phone:

"Don't worry." After saying that, he hung up the phone and walked out of the bathroom.

He first closed the bedroom door, and then went to the door.

Sure enough, Ji Li was standing outside the door after opening the door.

Today, Ji Li is still in the same outfit as before, but her long hair that is so long that she looks much more energetic.

He had a cigarette on his left hand, looked at Tongguan calmly, and whispered:

"Follow me to go out, discuss some things, and see your old friends."

The calendar sins can be regarded as being taken away from Ji Li, so he had known that Chang Nian would succeed.

In his opinion, even if Tongguan is about to die, he will never die in a three-star promotion mission.

...

When Tongguan walked down with a cloth bag, he saw Ji Li standing on the bank of the moat, staring at the cold river.

He walked closer and remembered that Ji Li could not drive.

So he had to put down the cloth bag and return to the branch door to drive the pickup truck that had been parked before.

When the vehicle drove out of the moat, Tongguan asked while driving the car:

“Where are we going?”

Ji Li still leaned his head against the window and said a place name lightly.

"Wangdu Hot Pot Restaurant."

Wangdu Hot Pot Restaurant is the third branch, namely the territory of Suchenghe.

Tongguan, who does not have enough information about the outside branch information, certainly does not know what this place name represents, so he just drives.

Ji Li just looked at the scenery outside the window and said nothing.

In fact, Ji Li is a very silent person. No matter how well he cleans up his appearance, he still can't hide the feeling of fatigue emitted in his soul.

For example, he likes to sit under the portrait and drink alone, or always likes to lean his head against the car window...

Such actions often give people the illusion of laziness and decadence.

Of course, Tongguan is not a taciturn person, but when facing Ji Li, he really couldn't find a topic of chatting.

So the atmosphere in the car becomes dull as it is when performing a task.

In this state, Tongguan can only increase the speed of the car as fast as possible and meet some people who can chat with them earlier.

Ji Li looked at the scenery unconsciously while enduring the whispers of the two personalities.

After a quick look, a short figure with a gray skin appeared at the window of a building.

It stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Ji Li leave with a pair of white eyeballs without pupils.

...

Wangdu Hot Pot Restaurant.

This time the person welcoming was the host, Su Chenghe.

And beside him was Li Guanqi wearing a light gray cotton suit and smiling brightly.

These two people are both books and chess, but they are not very old but have outstanding temperament.

The former's appearance that makes people unforgettable for a glance can often attract everyone's attention.

Although the latter is slightly inferior to the appearance, the elegant and clear temperament throughout the body will also give people a very close impression.

When the pickup truck was parked in front of the store, Tongguan and Ji Li got off the bus on both sides.

Su Chenghe and Li Guanqi walked forward in a synchronous manner, first congratulating Tongguan for their escape, and nodding to Ji Li.

Under their guidance, the four of them entered the innermost private room of the hot pot restaurant.

This private room is named "Zhuxue", which has a wonderful charm of snowy days and hotpot.

At the same time, in this private room, Xue Tinghai and Gu Qingyun reached a deal to get rid of Li Guanqi.

However, when the private room door opened, the first person Ji Li saw in the room was Xue Tinghai.

Xue Tinghai's face was worse than the last time he met. The scar on his face was steaming like a resurrected centipede under the heat.

And there are five or six people in this private room with a very spacious space.

The sixth branch, Luoxian, Bai Huaiguang, the eighth branch, Huangfu Jiajia, Chen Jie, and Zhu Xiaoning, the tenth branch, and an unknown young man.

And outside the private room, Wang Dachao and Lu Caiwei were standing.

If we include Su Chenghe, Li Guanqi, and himself.

Today's gathering can be called a store manager's gathering, including seven major branches.

Su Chenghe pointed to the two free seats and said to Ji Li and Tongguan:

"Please sit down, two of you."

On the way to the seat, Ji Li observed everyone's performance and found that there was an anxiety and anxiety on their faces.

Even Xue Tinghai's face was filled with anger that was almost uncontrollable.

However, he also noticed that among you, Luo Xian's expression was incompatible.

She kept her head down, her scattered hair covering her face, and secretly took out the carrier from her handbag and stuffed it into her mouth.

Luoxian seems to be not as anxious as other store managers.

Tongguan also noticed that the atmosphere of the store manager gathering was not right, so he asked Ji Li quietly:

"What does today's gathering mean?"

Ji Li sat in his seat, first glanced at Huangfu Jiajia on his right hand, and shook his head.

In fact, he just received a call from Li Guanqi this morning, claiming that a major situation had occurred and that the store managers needed to discuss it.

But Li Guanqi didn't say what the specific theme of this meeting was, and Ji Li didn't ask.
