Chapter 20 Mage Practice Association
Yong Bowen squeezed into Ai Liyun's illness** and didn't wake up until 9:00 a.m. the next day. At this time, the doctor had come to re-examine Li Yun and confirmed that her injury was fine and could be discharged from the hospital.
After Yong Bowen helped Ai Liyun go through the discharge formalities, the first thing he did was to take his girlfriend home to recuperate.
Ai Liyun's parents happened to be at home. When they saw that their baby daughter was injured after not seeing her for a day, they were naturally unhappy. The mother of the Ai family held her good daughter and asked with tears in her eyes. She also complained about why she didn't call home. By the way, she sighed that the girl was outgoing. When her daughter grew up, she was not considerate to the family. She didn't even tell her parents about such a big thing as a fall. The father of the Ai family can't hold his daughter and say something intimate words like his mother. He has to catch Yong Bowen for interrogation and ask in detail how his daughter is injured, how to deal with it after the injury, and the clinical manifestations after treatment. His tone of expression are simply suspecting that the unscrupulous boy in front of him is his daughter. The culprit of the injury.
Fortunately, based on their years of experience, the two had already predicted the current situation, and they had already checked all the confessions on the way, especially Ai Ai's careful treatment after she fell down yesterday, including the part she heard from John King and sent her to the hospital when she was in a coma. He told Yong Bowen so that he could replace the protagonist of the hero who saved the beauty with himself, so as to increase the favorability and trust in the eyes of the two elders.
The father of the Ai family also watched Yong Bowen grow up. After interrogating the story of his daughter's injury, he had to talk about Yong Bowen's employment by the way. He patiently persuaded the boy in front of him who tried to abduct his daughter. First of all, he had to have a good job to support his future wife. Don't do those gods all day long. You should be down-to-earth and not be ambitious. The mother of the Ai family is a teacher. The father of the Ai family has been living together for a long time. It is inevitable that there is a problem of being close to Zhu. It is like a continuous river, and his attitude is patient and careful. It is simply to save Yong Bowen as a delinquent young man.
The interrogation and inquiry lasted for an hour. It was not until the mother and daughter of the Ai family came out of the room that the father of the Ai family stopped.
Looking at Yong Bowen's sweaty face and white lips, Ai Liyun sat there looking like she was about to faint. She couldn't bear it and said, "Xiaowen, aren't you going to have an interview later? Come on, don't be late. By the way, come over for dinner in the evening and buy me a roast chicken wing.
Hearing this sentence, Yong Bowen jumped up from the sofa and said, "Well, Uncle Ai, Aunt Ai, Sister Xiaoyun, have a good rest. I'm leaving." The ending is still winding around the room, and others have rushed out of the door and disappeared without a trace.
Unfortunately, the cotton abandoned on the sofa by the owner shook his tail aggrievedly and let out a meow.
Ai's father looked at his daughter suspiciously and asked, "Is he really going to interview for a job?"
Ai Liyun sat on the sofa, held the cotton in her arms, gently played with the black cat's ears, lowered her head and said, "I lied to him yesterday that I was getting married. He was a little anxious and promised me to go for an interview. If I hadn't hurt my leg, he would have been working in Shuangta Culture Company now."
"It's still Xiao Ai who has a way." Ai's mother smiled and said, "Why don't you wait until he comes back at night and your father and I will make a scene to aggravate his sense of crisis?"
"It's useless." Ai Liyun grabbed the cotton ear and raised her head blankly. "He saw a ghost yesterday."
"What?" The Ai family and his wife screamed at the same time, and then looked at each other.
Ai's father asked after a while, "How can this be? You and Cotton follow him all day long. Which ghost dares to approach him?"
"That's not a normal ghost, but the inhaling ghost attached to the person came with an old gentleman who went the wrong way. I couldn't do anything at that time. I could only quietly lock the ghost-catching room with him, so that the whole process would not leak out. Ai Liyun sighed, "After that, I pretended to be afraid to cheat him. He finally promised to go to work, but I didn't expect that I fell and hurt again... When he rushed to the hospital at night, his body was so gloomy that it must have happened again. Is this really an irresistible fate?
Ai's father's face suddenly changed, and he was furious. He slapped him and shouted, "This stinky boy, just saw his eyes flashing when he was talking. I suspect that it's not the hospital he sent you to. He dared to lie to me. Look, I'm not good tonight..."
"Dad..." Ai Liyun couldn't laugh or cry. She really couldn't figure out what Dad was thinking. He ignored more important things, but he was entangled in such an insignificant issue.
"Yes, yes, now he dares to lie to us. If he marries Xiaoyun in the future, he may make up some lies." Ai's mother echoed and rolled her sleeves. "I haven't beaten this stinky boy for several years. I have to beat his ass tonight."
"Mom!" Ellie pulled the cotton's ear angrily, and the cotton screamed in pain.
"Okay, okay, my daughter is heartbroken for her boyfriend. Just don't beat him. Besides, when the child is old, he doesn't spank as much as when he was a child. When Ai's mother saw her daughter's angry face, she quickly changed her words and kicked her husband at the same time.
"Yes, yes, let him go this time." Ai's father immediately understood the leader's intention, then changed his tone and said with a smiling face, "Good daughter, don't be angry."
"What are you doing?" Ai Liyun finally ran away and stood up and shouted, "Xiaowen saw the ghost. Didn't you hear it?"
Ai's father nodded repeatedly, "I hear it. It won't happen once or twice. By the way, you should get rid of that ghost."
"The worm in the ghost is about to take shape, and Xiaowen has assimilated the ghost." Ai Liyun sat back on the sofa weakly. "I'm worried about the period from yesterday afternoon to night. Alas, cotton, if only you could tell us what happened."
The black cat, who was criticized, embarrassily buried his head in his claws, protected his tortured ears, and did not dare to make a sound.
"It should be all right. After all, cotton has always been with him, unless it is the kind of feng shui array in the west..." Ai's father touched his chin hesitantly and said, "However, it's really strange to say. How can you fall with your skills?"
"The situation was very strange at that time..." Ai Liyun frowned and said, "I suspect someone is playing tricks."
"Since Xiaowen has met a ghost, what should we do now?" Ai's mother finally raised a key question.
"It's easy to do. It's better to eradicate the future problems once and for all, as I suggested before!" Ai's father's face was murderous, and his eyes were fierce. He took out a golden needle from his arms and raised it high, "Seal him..."
"You want to kill Xiaowen!" The two female tigers went crazy at the same time and stared fiercely at the middle-aged man who came up with a bad idea.
The middle-aged man's back was immediately covered with cold sweat, "Uh... I'm just proposing. If not, let's think of other ways."
Yong Bowen naturally doesn't know the discussion of the Ai family. He hurriedly escaped from Ai's house, called a taxi, and went straight to the Mage Practice Association according to the address left by Luo Wanlan.
The Mage Practitioner Association is located in the middle section of Slin Street, Chuncheng South District.
This is the most prosperous area in the whole Spring City. There are many high-rise buildings and dense shops. A street-facing shop of more than ten square meters can often be sold for more than 500,000 yuan, which is definitely a prime location.
When Yong Bowen heard the address said by Luo Wanlan, he couldn't believe his ears. Whether it is movies and television, novels and stories, the mages mentioned in Taoist classics, most of them are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, looking like they don't dare to see people, so as to easily absorb the essence of heaven and earth. After all, whether they are Taoists or Buddhist masters, catching ghosts and exorcising demons are just idle to increase income to attract believers. Sideline, their real main business is to practice becoming immortals and Buddhas, and there are many red Dharma noises, which is absolutely not conducive to practice.
But it's really unexpected that the Mage Practitioner Association has its headquarters in the bustling commercial area.
After squeezing out of the dense traffic, the taxi stopped on the street. Yong Bowen got out of the car and looked up. In front of him was a towering building, which was conservatively estimated to be more than 100 floors. The whole exterior of the building is decorated with glass ornaments, shining brightly in the sun. A line of large characters extends along the outer wall from the roof to the top of the entrance gate - "World Wonderland Cultural Communication Center".
"That's it." Yong Bowen originally thought that even if the headquarters of the Mage Practitioner's Association was located in the downtown area in accordance with the principle of hiding in the city, he should keep a low profile. He never thought it would be such an arrogant tall building. He looked up at the tall building in front of him and stood on the street, which attracted pedestrians to laugh from time to time. Then he laughed and said, "Where did this come from? I haven't even seen a tall building. Is it so scared?"
Yong Bo discussed and stabilized his mind. He was curious about this high-profile mage practice association and walked to the building. As a result, just pushed the glass revolving door and walked into the building. As soon as I stood in the center of the hall, before someone asked how to find Luo Wanlan, the two security guards came up and politely reached out to stop, "Sir, please show me your ID."
"Certificate?" Yong Bowen scratched his head puzzledly, "What certificate?"
One of the security guards looked at Yong Bowen contemptuously and said disdainfully, "Work permit, VIP card, invitation letter, anything is fine. This is a non-opening unit, and no country bumpkin can come in.
It turned out that when the two were in the door, they had already seen Yong Bowen standing outside the building and looking up stupidly. They also thought that this was a country bumpkin who came out of nowhere. As soon as they saw him push the door in, they stepped forward to block it. They couldn't let this kind of local bun come in and defile this nobleness. Elegant place.
At that time, Luo Wanlan didn't say that he needed a certificate to enter the door, but he didn't even bring his ID card. Yong Bowen couldn't help saying with some embarrassment, "I didn't bring any documents."
When the two security guards heard it, they would be polite and immediately sank their faces. "If you don't have a certificate, you can't enter. Please leave immediately."
Seeing that the two of them had a tendency to do something, Yong Bowen quickly said, "I made an appointment with Luo Wanlan. She works here."
"How can Manager Luo know someone like you?" A security guard sneered and said, "Don't pee and take care of your own virtue. Go quickly, or we will call the police."
Yong Bowen looked down at himself and noticed that his clothes were the same as yesterday's. There were too many things to do today, and he escaped from the Ai family in such a hurry that he didn't have time to change his clothes. Now this dress is dirty and wrinkled, and there is a strong smell of sweat. No wonder the security guard will look down on him.
"If I had known, I would have left Luo Wanlan's phone number." Yong Bowen thought with some regret that he did not want to clash with the two security guards, so he had to turn around and walk out.
Two security guards followed closely, staring at him as if they were a thief. Probably they didn't worry about sending the country bumpkin out in person.
"Oh, Brother Yong, you're also here."
The familiar tone suddenly sounded in front of me.
As soon as Yong Bowen, who was walking forward dejectedly, raised his head, he saw Liu Yi, who was full of red light, coming towards him with a young woman holding flowers and branches.
"Mr. Liu, why are you..." As soon as Yong Bowen said this, he felt that he was too stupid to ask. Since Liu Yi is a real feng shui master, he must also be a member of the Mage Practitioner Association.
Liu Yi enthusiastically took his hand and said, "We are at least half a colleague. Of course I have to come here. Do you want to leave after you finish your work? If there is nothing urgent, just wait for me for a while to go out for a meal and discuss Mr. Fei's business by the way.
Yong Bowen shook his head with a wry smile, "I didn't do my job. I didn't have a certificate and was kicked out."
"Don't you have a certificate?" Liu Yi was stunned for a moment and looked a little surprised, but soon came to her senses, "When do you need a certificate to get in and out here?" As he spoke, he looked up and down at Yong Bowen's eyes and suddenly realized that he smiled, "Brother, no matter what, this is also a high-end business district. Why don't you change your clothes when you come out?"
Yong Bowen explained, "I have something to do at the moment. Time is too tight, so I didn't have time to change it." As for the emboof of being investigated by his future father-in-law for several hours so that he was so scared to escape, of course he would not say it stupidly.
Liu Yi patted Yong Bowen with a smile, turned his head, lowered his face, and said to the two security guards, "You two low-looking guys, only recognize clothes but not people. Do you know who this is?"
The two security guards have long been scared by Liu Yi's series of performances just now.
But anyone who knows Liu Yi knows that the characters Master Liu has made friends with are either rich or noble. Even when he was facing the mayor of Chuncheng, I didn't see him so enthusiastic or even a little tame. And according to what he said, the two seem to have some business dealings.
Is this country bumpkin really a big shot?
I heard that those rich bigwigs usually have the habit of pretending to be poor. The one in front of them is not such a rich man.
"Yes, yes..." Before the two poor little security guards figured out who Mr. Yong was, they were so scared into a cold sweat. The end of a staff of their status who offends a big man is usually only a well-known end.
Liu Yizheng was planning to fabricate an identity for Yong Bowen enough to scare the two little security guards to death. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Mr. Yong, Mr. Yong!"
Several people followed the sound and saw Luo Wanlan running over in a hurry.
This country bumpkin really has an appointment with Manager Luo!
This country bumpkin is really not a country bumpkin!
The two little security guards are dumbfounded, as if they have seen their sad end in the future.
Seeing Luo Wanlan, Yong Bowen was relieved and said, "Miss Luo, how do you know I'm here?"
Luo Wanlan ran to the crowd, stared at the two security guards fiercely, and then explained, "I happened to be in the security room. I saw something in the monitoring system. I'm really sorry about what happened just now. Please come with me. Mr. Yu is waiting for you.
"It doesn't matter. It's hard for me not to be misunderstood like this." Yong Bowen looked at the two security guards who were already scared like earth, and he couldn't bear it. "They are also doing their duty."
"Brother Yong, you are kind-hearted." Liu Yi smiled and said, "I'll go first. If you come down first, just wait for me here. Let's go to dinner."
"No, you're welcome." Yong Bowen can't stand Liu Yi's enthusiastic attitude.
"It's not just about eating, but also about Mr. Fei's things to discuss." After Liu Yi finished speaking, he did not give Yong Bowen a chance to refuse again. He picked up the woman beside him and left directly. Unexpectedly, he never said a word to Luo Wanlan.
Luo Wanlan stared at Liu Yi's leaving figure fiercely, snorted coldly, turned to Yong Bowen and said, "Mr. Yong, you'd better deal less with this kind of person."
Yong Bowen could see that Luo and Liu seemed to be a little unhappy, but he didn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing, so he smiled and explained, "We have some cooperation recently."
Luo Wanlan shook her head and said, "Mr. Yong, come with me." After saying that, he ignored the two little security guards and took Yong Bowen to the building.
