18. Not friends
18. Not friends
Xia Huan watched Yingzhi enter the consultation room, scratched the back of his head, and walked towards the door again.
"Wait a minute, where do you want to go?"
Pei Ke also stopped in front of the door again, his face full of vigilance.
"..." Xia Huan lowered her brows, her pursed lips were drawn into a straight line, and she stared at the boy's face with unhappy eyes that were only one step away from the fierce look in her eyes.
"You want to put pressure on me? It's useless, it's useless. You're just a big cat with its beard plucked, and you left your homeland and abandoned your territory in order to escape the hunters who hunted you. There is no one to obey you. Luo, without the power to summon wind and rain, you are nothing now."
Seeing that Xia Huan didn't reply, Pei Ke arrogantly raised his jaw and continued:
"What's the matter? Are you angry that you became the laughing stock of a yellow-haired boy half your age? You really want to get angry at me, you really want to beat people up? Don't you?"
Pei Ke pointed to her cheek, smiled sweetly and said:
"Come on, I'm a perfect Catholic, I don't have to wait for you to do it, I will give you my own cheek and let you hit it.... Haha. But I bet you dare not do it, now you can only swallow it Go on. Then I will give you ten seconds. If you hit me within these ten seconds, I will "promise" that I will not settle accounts with you."
Xia Huan, who had remained silent the entire time, suddenly burst out laughing.
Pei Ke looked at his maniacal laughter with contempt. "Hey, could it be that what I said was too cruel for an Ojisan, are you mad at me?"
"Hehehe..." The laughter gradually died down, and Xia Huan wiped the corners of her eyes. "Since I'm such an incompetent and stupid old man, you still do everything possible to prevent me from going out of this door, isn't it funny?"
Pei Ke's ears turned red, and she gritted her teeth in embarrassment.Could it be...Could it be that this guy deliberately made a gloomy face, creating a trap for him to fall into a trap, so as to lure himself to get carried away?Didn't expect this guy to have such a sinister heart despite his headless appearance?
Xia Huan raised her eyebrows, with a smug expression as if saying: You want to fight against me?You still have to exercise for another 100 years! ——Easily pushed him away who had no position to stop him, and swaggered out of the door of consumption room F.
"Pek, how many times have I told you not to get emotional."
Frowning, the dark-haired boy with light olive complexion reprimanded the beautiful blond boy who was stunned in front of him in an up-to-down tone.
"Understood." Muttered.
"I know, I have to do it."
"Pan Xin!" Pei Ke raised his face angrily, and shouted at the young man who was about the same age as himself, but already acted like an adult, "I'll tell you I know, can you please?" Don't bother me any more."
Without waiting for Pan Xin's reply, Pei Ke turned around and walked out the door. The tall boy who had been chasing his brother closely also nodded to Pan Xin in a panic, and hurriedly followed.
What a farce.
Pan Xin knew that it was not fair to place the responsibility on Pei Ke.The opponent is a wily fox, even if the opponent is not the arrogant and willful Pei Ke, Pan Xin guesses that the person can still find a way to play them, the inspectors, in the palm of his hand.
This is not Pan Xin's guesswork, but Pan Xin's preliminary conclusion after observing the interaction between him and Pei Ke just now.
That man, that man named Xia Huan, was an extra-large hot potato.
At first they thought they could handle it, and decided to take over this hot potato. Who would have imagined that it would not be long before it became more and more obvious that this was a big mistake-they will continue to pay the price for this wrong decision in the future, Clean up the aftermath until one day you can't stand it anymore and call to stop everything at the stop loss point.
But Panshin had to leave it alone for now—one problem at a time.Don't overestimate your own strength and think that you can handle several situations at the same time. That will often make you exhausted, and everything will be screwed up as a result.
"I believe that Master Pei Ke is a smart man. After he calms down and finds out where he lost, he must remember today's lesson. You don't have to worry about him."
Pan Xin turned his head and met Kang E'an's calm and smiling eyes.
"Do I look like I'm worried about him?" She tilted her head and asked in confusion.
There was a touch of bitterness in Kang E'an's smile. "Sorry, I presumptuously."
"I'm not worried about whether he can learn the lesson... It should be said that he can't learn the lesson here. In the future, his family will bear the loss, not me, who is a competitor. As for myself, the situation where he is holding back today has already It is enough for me to make up my mind that I will not give him another chance to drag everyone down. So... I am not worried at all. Why do you think I am worried about him, Uncle Kang?" Pan Xin finished speaking unhurriedly Going back to the unsolved confusion in my mind.
"It's purely my personal misinterpretation. I thought the two young masters were friends. Isn't it natural for friends to worry about each other? I didn't expect... No, it's nothing. Please, Master Pan Xin, forget about my nonsense."
Accepting his proposal, Pan Xin nodded and returned to the subject.
"Please confirm first how long it will take for the Prime Minister to arrive. Also... contact his secretary and get the signature of the Prime Minister's wife first. If the Prime Minister is unwilling to sign the consent form, we will take the record."
The so-called record filing is not a big plan. It is to forge the signature of the prime minister's wife and get a consent form for surgery.If the Prime Minister intends to find out who signed the consent form after the operation, as long as he shows his wife's signature, the big trouble will be turned into a small one.
"Yes. I'll do it now."
"One more thing, Uncle Kang." Pan Xin stopped the middle-aged gentleman who was about to leave. "Pekko and I are not friends. Please don't get me wrong about this."
"...Yes. I remembered. Do you have any other orders? Master Pan Xin." Kang E'an resumed his polite expression and asked with a smile.
Shaking his head, Pan Xin waved him to go to work.
Yes.He has known Peco and Zeon for a long time.Not only Peco, but the country where Peco was born, and in the social circle of the entire British Empire, there are many political and business celebrities that the Panxin family is familiar with, and everyone is like a "friend".
This is because Pan Xin's home country was once a colony where the sun never sets. In that period of history intertwined with money, blood and tears, it also established a close relationship between the social circles of the two countries.
To put it bluntly, it is the novelty of the Western trend, which has injected new elements into their traditional stagnant upper class. The private school education method, in order to let the children get rid of the image of the barbaric and uneducated rural nobles, they sent their children to Europe to study, to broaden their horizons and contacts, and more importantly, to enter the social circle of the upper class.
In the era of Pan Xin’s grandfather and great-grandfather, it was very difficult just to “break into the social circle”.Even though their family had a high status in China, there was almost no room for people of different colors to be active in the social circle that lived in Europe and the United States at that time.
Despite the hardships and difficulties, things have changed and time has passed, the world under the oil and resource wars has changed again, and now skin color is no longer a problem.
Today the family has no barriers in entering and exiting any social circle and is very popular.But Pan Xin feels that the distance between himself and his grandfather and great-grandfather is not far away. Even though he is surrounded by a group of people, he is still "one person" among them.
Pan Xin has never forgotten what his father told him five years ago when he was 12 years old and was about to leave for England to study.
"Be everyone's friend, but don't think everyone is your friend, Panshin."
This sentence sounds contradictory at first, but its truth gradually emerged during Pan Xin's study.Pan Xin believed that not only himself, but many of his classmates...even his peers in the F Foundation, must have the same idea.
When interests are aligned, we are all friends.When interests do not align...
The phone rang, interrupting Pan Xin's thoughts.He picked up the phone and heard the report on the other end that the prime minister was about to arrive. He said "Thanks for your hard work" and hung up the phone.
He didn't say hello to Kang E'an, and walked out of the gate of Consumption Room F by himself.
He must leave first before the Prime Minister arrives.Because no sane adult would tolerate a group of "lawless asshole teenagers" hiding behind the scenes and pointing fingers at his illness -- even if those points could save their lives, their ego would not allow it.
The logic is weird, right?
"Truth" is not invented by adults. Who stipulates that minors cannot discover "truth"?However, many elderly people always have a prejudice, thinking that they know the most and their judgments are the most correct.
But Pan Xin had no intention of challenging, or overturning, this strange logic.Because, if one day he gets old, Pan Xin will not want to be ridden on his head by his underage self.
When things involve emotions, logic is of no use to heroes.
Pan Xin sighed precociously. This is also the reason why he must comfort Pei Ke before he can be righteous to him and ask him to go back to the foundation headquarters to rest instead of telling Pei Ke to leave.
Inspector General, no one did it.
