Chapter 205 Classmates
After the call, Qi Xuansu looked at Qi Wangui: "What else do you have to say? This is the attitude of Wanmiao Zhenren."
Qi Wangui's face was ashen.
Qi Jiaozheng's attitude was very clear. He only said to handle it in a low-key manner. Obviously, he did not want to offend Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu said no more, turned around and left, and told Xu Kou to temporarily detain the person here and wait until he met Qi Jiaozheng.
In other words, Qi Xuansu was not in a hurry to close the case.
When to close the case and when to transfer it to Fengxiantang were also in Qi Xuansu's control.
As for Shi Da Zhenren, it was he who asked Qi Xuansu to contact Qi Jiaozheng, so naturally there would be no objection.
Qi Xuansu was about to leave Wanxiang Dao Palace, but there was a small episode before leaving.
Someone took this opportunity to organize a class reunion.
As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. There are those who are hostile to Qi Xuansu, and naturally there are those who want to curry favor with Qi Xuansu.
These are two completely different groups of people.
Qi Xuansu had no interest in the class reunion, but not going would make him seem too arrogant and forgetful. You can't shout loudly that I am a child from the Taoist Palace, and then look down on your classmates and teachers. This is too split.
The reason why Qi Xuansu had no interest was not that he looked down on his old friends, but that he had no feelings about the content of the class reunion.
The classmates of the past sat together, and there were only a few things.
People who are doing well want to show off, and Qi Xuansu meets the requirements, but there is no point in doing so. For example, if the Heavenly Master wants to show off that he has a good granddaughter, he will show off to the National Master, the Earth Master, and the Great Master Jiang. He can't show off to an old Taoist priest of the ninth rank, saying, "Old Taoist friend, look at my granddaughter, she has a promising future." That will only make people feel very funny.
Or reminiscing about the past, the youthful spirit, the bragging together, the girls missed, etc. When Qi Xuansu was young, he boasted that he had worn the sword of wisdom. He had worn it for several years. He really realized it. This is not bragging. There is not so much feeling when recalling it. It is more like showing off. As for the girl he missed, is it Yue Liuli? Qi Xuansu sent her in personally. What is there to talk about?
I have to admit that many times, classmates miss the carefree youth because of the current unsatisfactory. This is the only place where Qi Xuansu feels touched, but the feeling is not that big. Because Qi Xuansu has nothing unsatisfactory at the moment, he has a family and a bright future. If Qi Xuansu is asked to go back to the past, then Qi Xuansu will definitely not be willing to do it.
It's like playing chess. If you make a mistake, you want to regret it. If the situation is very good, you will only want to end it perfectly.
Of course, these are secondary reasons.
The main reason is that Qi Xuansu can foresee one thing, a large group of people will surround him, flattering is secondary, the key is to surround him to ask for this and that, to promote, and to help.
Qi Xuansu is now in a high position and will soon be in the Golden Palace. It's just a matter of a word to help the brothers. Qi Xuansu has been in charge of the Borneo Daofu for several years. The Nanyang United Trading Company is in your pocket. The little bit of money you leak from your fingernails is enough for the brothers to live on for a lifetime.
Don't cry poor. Everyone knows that you bought a luxury house worth 1.5 million Taiping money. If you say you have no money, people have to believe it. Is it because you are rich that you don't recognize your old classmates?
Qi Xuansu can't help or not. If he helps, whether he will remember his kindness or not, whether he will increase his gratitude and resentment, he will definitely be criticized for using public power for personal gain. If he doesn't help, he will also be criticized for seeking fame, being ruthless and righteous, and valuing easy friends. Although Qi Xuansu is still a good Taoist priest, if I were someone around him, I wouldn't like him either.
Qi Xuansu is caught in the middle and is not a person on both sides.
In this situation, it would be strange for him to want to go.
But there was no other way, he had to go.
Qi Xuansu could only hope that his two moves, which had knocked out two assistants, would scare some people, whether they were friends or enemies.
After all, it was normal that it was difficult to distinguish between friends and enemies. Qi Wangui was from the Quanzhen Dao, and he should have been Qi Xuansu's friend, but he secretly tripped Qi Xuansu up. Li Zhuyu was from the Taiping Dao, and he should have been Qi Xuansu's enemy, but he helped Qi Xuansu solve many problems.
Who was the friend? Who was the enemy? This has to mention the old saying that has been said a lot, you have me, I have you, and this is where all the bad things in the world go wrong.
Qi Xuansu went to the meeting alone this time, and came to the Stargazing Platform not far from Xingye Lake, where the Hundred Flowers Festival was held. Not far from the Stargazing Platform, there is a four-story pavilion called "Stargazing Tower", which is a restaurant operated by the Taoist Palace. It overlooks the beautiful scenery of Xingye Lake below. It is very popular and is only open to the upper palace, and it is often crowded.
Under normal circumstances, it is natural that the store is big and bullies the customers. But the person who organized the reunion this time brought up Qi Xuansu's name, saying that Chief Qi was going to hold a reunion here. The owner of the Stargazing Tower closed the shop for one day without saying anything, just to receive Chief Qi, and he didn't ask for any money.
This is probably the double effect of Qi Xuansu's possible appointment as the head of the palace and Qi Xuansu's removal of two assistants.
Qi Xuansu didn't show off his status and had to arrive last. He arrived neither too early nor too late, but when he arrived, most people had already arrived.
In Qi Xuansu's current class, there were not many classmates left in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, and many of them were scattered all over the world. However, after learning that Qi Xuansu was coming to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, everyone who could come back rushed back. If it were an ordinary class reunion, many classmates who were not doing so well might not come, and their faces would be dull. But this time is different. No matter how good you are, can you compare to Qi Xuansu? No matter how bad things are, as long as you butter up to Qi Xuansu, it's just a matter of one sentence, and you'll be able to turn around.
Therefore, the number of people attending this class reunion is quite large, far better than previous ones. There were even many people from the previous or next years who were more or less familiar and came to join in the fun.
It is said that in order to organize this class reunion, a temporary committee was formed, and Mo Qingdi was elected as the chief. Who told him that he was familiar with Qi Xuan. As for Wan Xiuwu and Yue Liuli, the most prestigious figures in the past? Who are these two people? Do we have anyone named Wan Xiuwu or Yue Liuli in this year?
It is said that rich people have distant relatives in the mountains, and Qi Xuansu knows this. He didn't even know that he was so popular. Otherwise, after becoming famous, he would be surrounded by good people.
Of course, Mo Qingdi is the chief in name only. What can a scriptwriter do? He has a powerful mouth all over his body. He is scared when he sees Zhang Yuelu. To find a relationship, Shi Yu has to step in. It can be seen that Bai Wuyi is a scholar. If this kid hadn't been lucky enough to hook up with Qi Xuansu, who would have paid any attention to him? As for the chief, you don't even have a share in the last seat.
Mo Qingdi couldn't handle such a big scene at all. The real manipulator was Cheng Lixue.
He was three terms higher than Qi Xuansu and was a man of the hour in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. As luck would have it, the two of them have the same hobbies, which are firearms and Xuansheng cards. The first time the two met was at a shooting range. Qi Xuansu hit the target with ten shots, which left a deep impression on Cheng Lixue. The second meeting was at the Xuansheng Card Competition organized by Wanxiang Taoist Palace, and the two were rivals. After going back and forth, we got to know each other. But it can't be said to be a close friendship, that is, just a nod of acquaintance.
Later, when they were in Fenglinzhou, the two had some interactions. Cheng Lixue had pimped Qi Xuansu. Although Qi Xuansu refused, Cheng Lixue had become familiar with Qi Xuansu and had occasional contact with him.
After all, Cheng Lixue is also a talented person. He intends to get closer to Qi Xuansu, but Qi Xuansu has no reason to refuse. Compared with Mo Qingdi's dullness, Cheng Lixue is very knowledgeable. This class reunion was organized by him.
Cheng Lixue deserves to have the word "Li" in his name. He was already waiting in front of the Star Observation Tower. When he saw Qi Xuansu, he was the first to greet him: "Chief Qi."
Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said: "In private situations, don't call me by title. Just call me by my cousin 'Tian Yuan'."
"Tian Yuan." Cheng Lixue immediately changed his words and was a little more affectionate than when Qi Xuansu was the deputy head of Ziwei Hall. Although there is only the word "chief" added, there are three more steps in the middle, and a group of high-quality Taoist priests will be blocked on each step.
"Old Mo and the others have arrived." Cheng Lixue knew that Mo Qingdi was the only classmate who frequently communicated with Qi Xuansu, and he also became close to Mo Qingdi, saying "Old Mo". In the past, Cheng Lixue was like this The man of the hour doesn't know who Mo Qingdi is. Even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously.
Even Cheng Lixue was a little jealous of Mo Qingdi. He could correspond with Chief Qi from time to time, but he didn't get such treatment. He was just greeting Qi Xuansu on the three major festivals. If it had been anyone else, he would have skyrocketed long ago. Already? Mo Qingdi is good and easy to satisfy.
But having said that, maybe it is because of Mo Qingdi's contentment that the relationship between the two can be maintained. If Mo Qingdi always makes requests to Qi Xuansu, I am afraid Qi Xuansu will not keep in touch with Mo Qingdi.
Is it too wise to be foolish? Or does a fool always have something to gain after all his worries?
In fact, Mo Qingdi knew how much he weighed, mainly because he didn't have the ability. Not only do you need to correct your position in officialdom, but you also need to correct your position everywhere in life. A lot of human suffering comes from the mismatch between abilities and desires.
Qi Xuansu was welcomed in, and all the people sitting in the lobby in twos and threes stood up.
It made Qi Xuansu look more like he was inspecting a Taoist palace than attending a class reunion.
Qi Xuansu could only stretch out his hand and press it lightly: "We are all classmates, don't be formal, just feel free to do it."
Three people came to Qi Xuansu, Mo Qingdi, Shi Yu, and Song Yu.
Qi Xuansu first greeted Mo Qingdi, the most casual and natural, and the most sincere, and then looked at Shi Yu: "Old Shi, Qing Xiao often mentions you."
Shi Yu was a little flattered, that was the legendary Zhang Yuelu. But she didn't dare to take it too seriously. After all, how could a busy man like Zhang Yuelu always mention her when he had nothing to do.
Qi Xuansu finally looked at Song Yu: "Senior Sister Song is here too. Is everything okay recently?"
Song Yu's mood was quite complicated, but he didn't show it on his face. He responded: "Everything is fine. Thank you Tianyuan for your concern."
Cheng Lixue greeted everyone again, a banquet had been arranged, let’s eat first.
