Chapter 141 Xu Jinkui
Chapter 141 Xu Jinkui
"My name is Xu Jinkui, and my daughter is also a student at Cangsong Academy."
Xu Jinkui said with a smile.
"I see."
Chen Pingan nodded slightly.
"Sir, I just brought some snacks with me, why don't you try them?"
Xu Jinkui invited with a smile.
As he spoke, the old servant behind him opened the wooden box and placed it in front of Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan took a look and declined with a smile.
"No, I'm not hungry."
"Sir, this is the plum blossom cake from Sanfulou. It should taste good!"
Xu Jinkui was a little enthusiastic and handed a plate of plum cake to him.
Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, Chen Pingan did not refuse anymore.
However, when he picked up the plum cake, he also kept a watchful eye. The internal energy in his body surged slightly, passing through the meridians of his hand and directly reaching the plum cake.
The surging flow of internal energy not only enhances the killing power, but also has a more basic inspection function.
Of course, this check is not as powerful as some real inspections, but it is better than nothing.
After a quick investigation, nothing unusual was found.
Speaking of which, the Golden Bell Cover, as an external hard skill that cultivates both internal and external skills, also has a certain ability to resist toxins.
However, since they had never met before, Chen Pingan thought about it and still did not eat the plum cake.
Seeing that Chen Pingan didn't eat, Xu Jinkui didn't care.
"You look young, but are you waiting for your brothers and sisters?"
"My sister is studying in the school."
Although Chen Ping'an is ruthless and cruel in establishing his authority, he is still relatively easy to get along with for people who have no conflicts of interest with him.
Xu Jinkui has a good affinity, and after a few interactions, the two became more familiar with each other.
Later, Xu Jinkui introduced his family's business.
He was said to be running a pastry business, and had opened shops in the surrounding alleys, which was considered a small success.
"Then I'll call Mr. Xu!"
Chen Pingan said with a smile.
"You are joking, sir. It is just a small business."
Xu Jinkui waved his hands repeatedly.
After talking about his livelihood, Xu Jinkui asked what Chen Pingan did.
In response, Chen Pingan did not say much but simply introduced his situation.
"To make a living in the government."
Hearing this, Xu Jinkui stood in awe.
"I didn't expect it to be a messenger from the Pacification Division!"
"No, I'm just patrolling and checking official documents. I can't be called a sergeant."
It was the first time the two met, and Chen Ping'an had no intention of talking much.
The subject was quickly passed over.
The two chatted harmoniously, talking about interesting things in the neighborhood and the tricks of doing business.
While the two were talking, the vermilion door of Cangsong Academy opened with a creak.
There was a hustle and bustle, and male and female students came out one after another.
"Xiaomei, here!"
Xu Jinkui recognized his daughter at first sight.
Chen Pingan looked over and saw a very cute little girl, who was bouncing as she walked.
Xu Jinkui apologized to Chen Pingan and ran forward to pick up his daughter.
He is a daughter slave.
Seeing the other party's happy expression, Chen Pingan sighed.
"Xiaomei, this is your Uncle Chen, a good friend I just met."
Xu Jinkui brought his daughter to Chen Pingan.
"Uncle Chen"
Xu Xiaomei called out coquettishly. Chen Pingan's face changed.
How did I become an uncle?
"Mr. Chen, I'm leaving first. See you later!"
Xu Jinkui smiled and waved his hand.
Chen Pingan said a greeting as a farewell.
Xu Jinkui pulled Xu Xiaomei towards the carriage not far away. At the other side of the carriage, an old servant who had already rushed over lifted the curtain and waited.
"Brother~"
Chen Erya, who came out of the school gate, saw Chen Pingan at a glance and waved to him excitedly.
"Nah!"
Chen Pingan withdrew his gaze from the carriage, turned his head and saw Chen Erya at a glance.
"Brother, why are you here today?"
Chen Erya jogged a few steps, a little out of breath.
Chen Pingan looked at Chen Erya lovingly and said, "I usually get off work too late and don't have time to pick you up. Today I just happened to be free, so I thought of coming to pick you up."
"Thank you, brother~"
The little girl smiled contentedly.
While the brother and sister were talking, Xu Jinkui and his partner also got on the carriage.
"Goodbye, Master Chen!"
Xu Jinkui looked at the two of them through the carriage window and said goodbye.
Chen Pingan bowed slightly.
The carriage moved slowly, and then clattered away.
Inside the carriage.
"Dad, who was that person just now?"
Xu Xiaomei asked curiously.
Xu Jinkui smiled kindly, "I met him at the gate when you were leaving the hall. He works for the government and looks registered."
More friends mean more paths; this is the principle he has believed in after doing business for so many years.
From being penniless to owning more than ten chain stores, Xu Jinkui is a model of starting from scratch. His eyes are naturally experienced, and from his words, one can feel that Chen Pingan has good knowledge.
In addition, he was able to support his family to study at Cangsong Academy. Such a person should not be a temporary official, but an official who had been trained for many years and had a registered status.
He should be a relatively senior official among the servants, and the mission he is responsible for should be a lucrative and important position.
At first, Xu Jinkui did think about the chief.
But judging from his youth and his humble words, he doesn't seem like a messenger.
If he was a messenger from the Pacification Department and was so young, he would probably disdain to interact with merchants.
"Oh."
Xu Xiaomei nodded, not quite understanding.
Seeing Xu Xiaomei's expression, Xu Jinkui did not chat with her any further. He smiled and asked her if she knew the girl next to Chen Erya.
"I don't know him, but I seem to have seen him in the school. He should be two years younger than my daughter and he has been in the school for a short time."
"I see."
Xu Jinkui smiled and asked about Xu Xiaomei's academic progress.
I picked up my daughter today and gained a lot.
I met a registered official from the Pacification Department. I might not have much interaction with such a person on weekdays, but at certain times, he might be of great value.
However, Xu Jinkui always believed in mutual benefit. If he got something good, the other party would also get the same benefit.
After today's communication, he and the other party seemed to be quite compatible and had harmonious conversation.
Outside Cangsong Academy, some students from wealthy families got on the carriage as soon as the class was over.
Chen Ping'an and Chen Erya were walking on the street, talking excitedly.
Chen Ping'an was happy because he was usually very busy and it was a rare opportunity for him to have such an experience today.
Chen Erya was excited because her brother was coming to pick her up from school tonight. This was the first time since she started school.
A carriage passed by the brother and sister, and the curtains on the carriage windows were lifted.
"Hey, Arya, is this your brother?"
A little girl's face appeared through the carriage window. She looked about the same age as Chen Erya.
