Volume 1: 43. The eldest lady's kindness is not over yet

After waiting for a while, three more men came into the office. Their clothes and body shapes were different, but they had one thing in common.

After seeing a stranger in the office, he immediately perked up and began to observe Li Qingping and Keqing's every move.

There is no doubt that these three are outstanding intelligence experts and Ye Lan's right-hand men.

Li Qingping was also looking at the three people and found that none of them had the Eye of God, or they did not carry it with them.

Come to think of it, you have to be low-key in this line of work, and it’s best if no one pays attention to you.

One of the well-proportioned men was wearing a suit, leather shoes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. The man following closely behind him was dressed casually, with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

The last one's clothes were nothing special, but he had a strong build and should be the best fighter among the three.

"Shang Hua, Wen Yuan, and Wu Pei are all my capable men." Ye Lan gestured for the three to take a seat, and then introduced them one by one.

Li Qingping wrote down the characteristics and names of the three people.

The man in the suit is Shang Hua, the sloppy man is Wen Yuan, and the muscular man is Wu Pei.

"This is your new colleague, Li Qingping." Ye Lan also introduced Li Qingping to the three people. "If you have any questions, please tell me now. I guess we won't have the chance to meet again later because we'll be busy."

Li Qingping shook hands with the three of them, which was considered a face-to-face encounter.

"He's great, I have no problem with that."

Wu Pei was the first to speak, his voice as strong as his body.

He had just used some tricks when shaking hands, intending to test Li Qingping's background, but Li Qingping remained calm the whole time. At that time, he knew that he was not as good as the handsome young man in front of him.

Wu Pei was straightforward and immediately accepted this new colleague.

"I trust the person the boss has found." Shang Hua, dressed in a suit and tie, also said that there was no problem.

"Of course I trust you, Boss, but..." Wen Yuan exhaled the cigarette in his mouth and threw it into the trash can. "Why would an insignificant person appear here? Boss, this place is very special. Not just anyone can come in."

Li Qingping was a little surprised.

He guessed that there would be some trouble when meeting his colleagues at Yanshang Tea House, but he didn't expect that it would be directed at the eldest lady.

I think they are planning to implicate him by attacking Keqing.

It's a pity that causing trouble for Keqing is like kicking a wall, you are unlucky.

"Li Qingping, I'm talking to you." Keqing pushed Li Qingping.

I have protected you from disaster, how do you deal with this matter?

Keqing made silent gestures and began to bargain with Li Qingping.

"Then I will try to be an important person next time." Li Qingping said.

Miss, what do you want to do?

"Don't wait until next time, let's do it now." Keqing's eyes turned and she had an idea.

Please treat me to dinner!

"I'll do as you say." Li Qingping quickly negotiated the price with Keqing, and then prepared to watch the show.

Ye Lan could probably guess what Li Qingping and Keqing were talking about, but her three capable men were completely confused.

Keqing was too lazy to explain, so she made a phone call in front of everyone and turned on the speakerphone.

"Uncle Chen."

"Miss, please speak."

Everyone in the office could hear what the two people were saying.

"Grandpa said last time that he would transfer part of the family property to my name. Does that include Bishui Road?"

"Miss, please wait a moment. There are quite a lot of businesses at home, and I need to check them out."

Listen, is this human language?

Li Qingping realized that he had underestimated the worth of the wealthy Keqing.

There are quite a lot of industries, so I need to check them out.

Each of them is not an uncommon character, but they sound so unfamiliar when read together.

"I've checked. Bishui Road has just been transferred to the young lady's name. The master felt that Liyue's taxes were a bit low this year, so he also transferred the neighboring Mingxia Road to the young lady's name."

"Uncle Chen, could you please take a look at the contract for No. 18 Bishui Road?"

"Number 18, Bishui Road, was rented to the Liyue General Affairs Department five years ago by the master. The contract expires in five years."

"Uncle Chen, you go get busy."

Keqing hung up the phone, leaned back elegantly on the sofa, and said nothing.

Across from him, Shang Hua, who was wearing a suit, adjusted his glasses, then felt short of breath and took off his tie.

Li Qingping looked at him and saw that his hands were shaking.

Wen Yuan, who had been nonchalant, was now dumbfounded. He could only stare at Ye Lan blankly, as if saying, "Boss, this can't be true?"

Wu Pei was relatively normal, but there was a hint of awe in his eyes when he looked at Keqing.

There is no way around it, since Yanshang Tea House is now located at No. 18 Bishui Road.

The whole street is under this person's name, even the street next door.

If she was really unhappy, Yanshang Tea House might have to move out today.

You mentioned liquidated damages...

I’m afraid it’s not even as much as the fraction of the tax people pay!

"As you can see, this is our landlord." Ye Lan spread his hands, looking helpless.

There's nothing I can do. Even though he's rich, I can't protect you!

"I heard that my friend found a class here, so I thought of coming over to take a look. Is there anything wrong with that?" Keqing snorted.

Awesome, and she has to be a big lady!

Li Qingping secretly made a gesture to her.

Keqing gestured back, "Don't mess with her about dinner."

Rest assured, it will definitely be delicious!

"No... no problem. Boss, I seem to have some unfinished work, so I'll be leaving first."

Wen Yuan ran away in disgrace.

Seeing this, the other two also found an excuse to leave the office.

"You're not going to really ask us to move out, are you?" Ye Lan joked.

Keqing shook her head, then frowned and looked at Li Qingping: "Are you hiding something from me?"

There are so many things I've hidden from you, but I can't tell you that there's a traitor in Yanshang Teahouse.

Li Qingping nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

"Okay, okay!" Keqing was so angry that she laughed.

Can't you just lie to me!

"One meal is not enough, two meals are needed."

"I'll cover your entire day."

"Row!"

Li Qingping signed an unequal treaty with Keqing and owed her three meals.

At this time, he received a text message from Ye Lan on his mobile phone.

"Wenyuan is most likely not a nail."

Li Qingping immediately understood that the meeting between colleagues just now was actually a test.

He was secretly shocked, thinking that Sister Lan was worthy of being the head of the "East Factory" working for Qixing. Her methods were hard to guard against. Fortunately, he was a loyal minister of Liyue.

Otherwise, evidence of his crime would be discovered within a few days and he would be sent to the police station.

"why?"

"The traitor knows Keqing. Based on my understanding of Wen Yuan, he didn't seem to be acting just now."

"Knowing Keqing... Wait! The nails buried in the Rock Teahouse are connected to the attack on the Debo Hotel! Sister Lan, didn't you say it had nothing to do with the Abyss Cult?"

Li Qingping's mind raced, and he immediately realized that this didn't match what Ye Lan said at the time.

"It wasn't the Abyss Cult that planted the needle, but the Abyss Cult was involved."

Li Qingping secretly glanced at Keqing beside him. She was looking down at her mobile phone, which was filled with pages of electronic contracts.

She said that she was not going to move the Yanshang Tea House, but she was secretly looking through the contract.

The rent of the Yanshang Tea House is of no concern to Keqing, as she doesn't need that little money at all, but her friend does work there.

Keqing was preparing for the worst for Li Qingping. If he had a falling out with Yanshang Teahouse, she would throw the contract at the door of the teahouse.

Let my friend go, otherwise no one will have a good time!

Li Qingping felt warm in his heart when he thought of Keqing standing at the door of the Yanshang Tea House with her hands on her hips.

I can never repay the eldest lady’s kindness. It’s simply not enough.

Then the matter of Debo Hotel cannot be let go just like that!

"That's only a high probability, it can't be completely ruled out." Li Qingping replied.

"I'll screen Wenyuan, you keep an eye on the other two."

"Row."

Volume 1: 44. Raiden Zhen: My sister sent someone to deliver something.

Keqing always strives to do her best. Not only did she review the contract, she also contacted lawyers and demolition teams.

If there is any change in the situation, the Yanshang Tea House will be removed from this street.

The means were so vicious that Li Qingping, who was watching, was frightened and couldn't help but sigh.

Although this girl may not be a great person, she will eventually become a talented person!

"Damn, the situation has changed!" Ye Lan suddenly stood up and cursed.

Li Qingping was really puzzled. Who was the blind person who made this person angry again?

"Let's go to the airport!" Ye Lan picked up the car keys and ran downstairs. "Shinri Ayaka's plane will land at Liyue Airport in 20 minutes."

"Didn't you say you'd arrive in the afternoon?" Keqing asked in confusion.

"Because this is the only way to escape Inazuma alive. She deceived us all."

Ye Lan thought that the other party was an underage girl, but she didn't expect her to be so meticulous.

"But it takes half of Liyue City to get from the Tea House on the Rock to the airport. It would take at least an hour and a half to get there," Keqing said.

"I'll contact the higher-ups and request traffic control." Ye Lan had already run to the stairs.

Li Qingping quickly locked the door and followed with Keqing.

"That's also risky." Keqing's eyes were full of worry. Once they got off the plane, anything that happened to Kamisato Ayaka would be due to Li Qingping's failure to protect her well.

"What car are you driving today?" Ye Lan asked her.

"I don't know, it looks like an ordinary Porsche." Keqing said.

Arriving at the parking lot, Ye Lan saw the car that claimed to be an ordinary Porsche.
