Chapter 660 I'm Back
Chapter 660 I’m back
In the private room of Juyi Hall of Xidelong Hotel, three large tables were directly placed.
It was around five o'clock in the afternoon. Fang Hao and others, who had been off work for a long time, and a group of old investigators from the Southwest Bureau's Anatomy Division, filled the entire huge private room at this time.
Yang Gan, Wu Qian, Liu Dalong, Gou Daoren, etc. were all present.
The organizer was Song Liang.
Seeing that all the people present were close friends and brothers, Wu Qian asked curiously:
"Xiao Song, what's going on? Why do you want to treat me suddenly?"
Fang Hao on the side shouted:
"Song Liang, you are in love and want to be single, right? Otherwise, why would you organize such a grand party? Are you deeply sorry for us single brothers? You are welcome later, just like your own family,
Eat harder, eat harder."
Gao Yunlei clicked his tongue and said to Fang Hao:
"Haozi, I'm not talking about you. You are now the real captain of the bureau. Why are you still so stubborn? If Old Song really fell in love, could he treat you? I think it's probably because he was refused and asked to drink with his brothers.
It’s to shed sorrow.”
Song Liang smiled and said mysteriously:
"Everyone will know later. Besides, it's not my treat today. I'm just helping to organize it. The real owner will be here later."
At this moment, Yang Gan, who had always looked a little depressed, sighed and said:
"I remember that when I first came to Xidelong, I came with Brother Li..."
Hearing this, everyone present looked dark and didn't know what to say.
Yang Gan has stopped fishing recently.
Wu Qian and Liu Dalong both sighed heavily, while Zhang Hongbing and others on the side smoked heavily, smoking several cigarettes in the blink of an eye.
What happened to Li Fan was a thorn in their hearts.
No one wants to admit or accept that Li Fan is actually the collector of the Twelve Knights of the Cleaning Association.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull, Taoist Gou quickly laughed and said:
"Speaking of it, the social atmosphere seems to have changed a lot recently, and the sideline business of the veteran has also flourished a lot. If you are free, you can join us. I heard that some awakened investigators from other local bureaus are taking orders in their spare time outside of eight hours.
It can be regarded as benefiting the masses..."
At this time, Taoist Gou was wearing a well-tailored Tang suit, a string of mutton-fat white jade seed bracelets on his wrists, and a simple dzi bead around his neck. This outfit was worth a lot of money. It was obviously
Made a fortune.
Ever since he broke out as Gou Banxian, his tongue would cramp just by telling people's fortunes every day, and his hands would cramp even counting money.
Although he has always adhered to his principles, refused to add extras, and kept his prices close to the people, he couldn't stop some wealthy people from asking people to contact him after he closed his stall every day.
At first, Taoist Gou despised the other party and refused to give him a good face. In the end, under the price offered by the other party, he still chose to tell people's fortunes with a straight face.
It's not because the other party gave too much, it's mainly because he is a seasoned man who has a compassionate heart and can't bear to listen to people's begging.
During this time, the social atmosphere seems to have changed a lot, and the higher authorities have begun to advocate the promotion of traditional culture, especially the local religious culture and so on.
Such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, worshiping gods and praying to Buddha, various niche behaviors that were gradually abandoned by the entire society have begun to become popular again.
Later, some abnormal infection phenomena appeared in society, which were even different from before, and also contributed to this trend.
Naturally, his fortune-telling business was also affected. More people came to ask for fortune-telling and fortune-telling, and the more money he made.
The old Taoist wandered all his life and was a little afraid of poverty. During this time, he gradually became tainted with the smell of copper.
However, he is not a solitary person. Now that he has a good opportunity to make a fortune, he also wants to make everyone rich together.
There is no shame in sharing prosperity.
Gou Daoren's words immediately aroused positive responses from the young investigators.
They were all originally cadres of the Belvedere Branch. After the Sang Kingdom Awakening Persons Exchange Meeting and the Demon Cave Incident, the fact that they had awakened was exposed and recognized by the bureau.
Zhao Yifeng learned from the pain and decided to strengthen the Southwest Bureau's Investigation Department and recalled them all from the Belvedere Branch. Each of them was given the position of captain or deputy captain.
Although it seems that he was transferred from the Belvedere Bureau, he actually became the middle-level manager with real power in the Southwest Bureau, which is considered a promotion.
However, after returning to the Southwest Bureau, Fang Hao and the others truly felt how difficult life was without Brother Li.
When I followed Li Fan, I was used to high consumption, and Brother Fan paid for it. Now after I came back, I found that the salary level could not keep up with the consumption level, and I finally understood how much Li Fan spent on them.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Now that Fang Hao and the others heard Taoist Gou's words, they all became more thoughtful and thought it was an opportunity.
Wu Qian said with some worry:
"I heard that many of the abnormal infections that have emerged recently are somewhat similar to the legendary monsters and ghosts. It's okay for young people like you to want to start a side job, but safety must be the first priority... Back then, ordinary people
When I was still here, I kept telling him..."
Everyone's expressions darkened when they heard this, and then they immediately patted their chests to Wu Qian to reassure him, and at the same time asked Taoist Gou for advice.
At this time, Taoist Gou became the focus of the audience, and he felt very proud. This kind of respect was very useful to him.
However, Taoist Gou did not continue to talk about this, but gave it up and turned to Song Liang and asked:
"Xiao Song, you haven't said yet, who is inviting us today? Why are we inviting you?"
But before Song Liang could answer, Taoist Gou suddenly saw a bright fire appearing outside the door and shouted quickly:
"Fire! There's a fire outside!"
Everyone looked at it at the same time. Outside the private room was Xidelong's lobby. People were coming and going outside, and it was very lively. There was no light at all.
"Director Gou, where is the fire?" Fang Hao looked confused.
At this time, Taoist Gou saw that the fire outside was getting bigger and bigger, and it was already a huge fire pillar that went straight to the ceiling. The fire light was a bit dazzling, so he quickly pointed in the direction of the fire pillar and shouted:
"Isn't that right! Why is there such a big fire!? Did the gas explode? Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!"
The pillar of fire seemed to be still moving, and seemed to have burned through the ceiling.
Everyone looked at a loss and didn't see any pillar of fire at all.
Taoist Gou was extremely anxious and was about to say something else when he suddenly saw the pillar of fire appearing directly at the door and burning into the room where they were!
Fire, huge flames soar into the sky, burning brightly and dazzlingly.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that, to be precise, it was three colors of fire pillars superimposed on each other.
Light gold, true gold, and dark gold.
The light golden fire pillar was about the same height as the pure golden fire pillar, both of which were as high as the ceiling. However, the dark golden fire pillar was particularly fierce, burning directly through the ceiling, at least dozens of meters high, like a rocket engine exhaust, shooting straight into the sky!
At this time, Taoist Gou finally discovered that this was not an ordinary flame at all, but the fire of destiny and authority!
No wonder he is the only one who can see it!
In the scorching light of the fire, in the stunned gazes of everyone, a man appeared in front of everyone and said with a smile:
"I'm back."
