Lu Xiaoran was walking on the smooth bluestone street of Taihua Street. The soles of her luxurious blue-and-patterned shoes made a crisp "click" sound when they slapped against the bluestone.
Lu Xiaoran's thoughts were interrupted by this voice, and she took this opportunity to relax her tense nerves.
He looked at the ordinary bluestone under his feet. Although such bluestones can be seen everywhere in the low mountains south of Lieyang City, but paved in this street where every inch of land is precious, people can jokingly call it a piece of bluestone to top a villa on the outskirts of the city. .
Lu Xiaoran chuckled and murmured to herself.
"It's true...even the most ordinary bluestone can be comparable to a courtyard on the outskirts of the city if it is placed..."
If Zhangsun was present, he would definitely be surprised, because at this time, Lu Xiaoran showed a rare lack of confidence.
Even his words at this time revealed a sense of self-deprecation.
Perhaps my pride and extraordinaryness are just due to my origin, and in the final analysis, I am still the most ordinary "blue stone".
Lu Xiaoran had never behaved like this before. Until the time when his eldest grandson disappeared, Lu Xiaoran would often express such self-doubt.
However, such moments often only passed by in a flash. When he raised his head, the unconfidence in his eyes also disappeared.
Because he figured something out.
Bluestone is still bluestone after all. Even if it is called a gold stone in Taihua Street, it is still worthless without the street.
Its value is reflected in the streets where it is laid flat with other bluestones.
Just like the Youth Pi, apart from this group, they are just a talented student. But within the group, they are the driving forces behind the storm that can set off huge waves in the academy.
Lu Xiaoran turned right and came to a narrow alley, and then walked into an inconspicuous teahouse at the end of the alley.
Although the tea house looks inconspicuous on the surface, people can't help but exclaim "there is something special" the moment they step through the door.
Lu Xiaoran was a regular customer here. After nodding friendly to the clerk, he walked to a familiar seat and sat down.
The waiters are already familiar with the tastes of regular customers, so they will first serve guests a pot of fragrant tea that suits their tastes, and then hand over a menu with a variety of exquisite pastries.
Lu Xiaoran raised her hand to indicate that there was no need for a menu.
The waiter immediately understood that the guest must have someone important to meet, so he put away the dishes on the table with a wink, then stepped back far away, not to disturb him again.
After a cup of tea, the door of the teahouse opened again and a young man came in.
The man's appearance is ordinary, it can even be said that he is ordinary to a bit special.
Why do I say this? Because in terms of image alone, there is really nothing memorable about men.
With a medium height, an unproportioned figure, and a popular face, the man is the kind of person who can quickly disappear when thrown into a crowd.
The man took a quick look around and saw Lu Xiaoran, who was almost at the opposite end of the spectrum from him.
Even if he was sitting in the corner, Lu Xiaoran still had that noble presence.
The man casually sat down opposite Lu Xiaoran, picked up the tea that had been prepared in front of him, and drank a cup without tasting it.
The two of them seemed to be old acquaintances. There was no polite greeting and they drank tea separately. There was no awkwardness in the atmosphere.
Tian Shun drank several cups from the small teacup before he felt his dry throat felt better.
Tian Song threw a jade slip in front of Lu Xiaoran.
"Here is the information you want. It includes where Duan Zhenbiao goes every day, when he returns home, the restaurants he goes to during his breaks, etc..."
Lu Xiaoran was not in a hurry to investigate. He was assured of Tian Song's ability to do things. This is why he did not go to Skynet to buy Duan Zhenbiao's information, but went to the unattractive man in front of him.
Tian Song's occupation in his eldest grandson's previous life was that of a private detective.
Tian Song can be regarded as giving full play to his ordinary appearance. Not only is he very handy in this kind of follow-up investigation, but he has never been discovered.
But these days the tracking section
Being a mortal warrior like Zhen Biao also made Tian Song feel physically and mentally exhausted. If the employer was not Lu Xiaoran, Tian Song would never accept this job.
Tian Song met Lu Xiaoran in front of him and began to explore the jade slips. After his dry mouth was resolved, he began to chatter uncontrollably.
"This Duan Zhenbiao is indeed very powerful, but he acts very openly, so I have been following him for so many days without noticing him."
Lu Xiaoran chuckled lightly, "I will be promoted to the position of dean soon, so I will naturally act in a high-profile manner."
Tian Song curled his lips. He was naturally aware of the messy things that had happened in Qingteng during this period, but from the perspective of a freelancer like him, being the dean did not give him such freedom.
Lu Xiaoran continued to look at the jade slips and let out a soft sigh when she saw something.
"Is this Sun Miao very close to Duan Zhenbiao recently?"
Tian Song nodded, familiar with the information he recorded.
"Yes, during the ten days I investigated Duan Zhenbiao, Sun Miao came into contact with Duan Zhenbiao seven times. Each meeting was in private time, sometimes at Duan Zhenbiao's residence, sometimes at Huasheng Restaurant."
Lu Xiaoran also sneered at the two of them working together for women, "They acted really unscrupulously."
Tian Song nodded and said casually: "Well, although there is no direct evidence of the interest exchange between them, as long as you dare to search Duan's house, you will definitely be able to find clues easily."
At this time, Lu Xiaoran had already read the contents of the jade slip and did not answer the question. Instead, she started thinking about the next action directly in front of Tian Song.
Tian Song looked at the young master in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Tian Song knew Lu Xiaoran much earlier than his eldest grandson, so he knew very well what Lu Xiaoran was like before.
As the sixth son of Luliang Trading Company, it was inevitable that he would be a little arrogant and domineering.
These made Lu Xiaoran look like the scorching sun, bright but too dazzling and even hurtful.
But after going through the recent period, Lu Xiaoran is like a rising sun that has restrained its radiance. Although it no longer has that irresistible temperature, its restrained brilliance makes people more willing to believe that he contains huge energy.
Thinking of this, Tian Song couldn't help but glance at Lu Xiaoran again. A lot of things happened in Qingteng during this period, and the driving force behind it was the young man in front of him and the Youth Pi beside him.
It turns out that from that day when Lu Xiaoran and Si Qin convened a meeting of the Youth Faction and deployed the "Hunting and Encirclement and Suppression" operation, the Youth Faction began to perform their respective duties and operate efficiently.
Within a few days, rumors circulated again in Qingteng about who would be the next dean of Qi Ziyuan.
Originally, this kind of high-level adjustment of the college usually did not involve students, but who knew that these rumors not only affected the students, but even caused the students to launch a grand riot, which eventually turned into a violent incident in the college.
The cause of the matter begins with a student union.
Since the main focus of the fourth-year students is on the trials outside the school, the main components of each student union are basically third-year students.
The president of this student union is Tan Shuanghu. This meeting is also the first meeting after the establishment of this student union.
Originally, it was just a formality, some insignificant rules, and some general and unclear goal planning, and it was over.
But before the meeting, Li Yuan, a member of the student union, came to Tan Shuanghu and proposed to make some advance plans for the replacement of the dean of Qi Zi College at the meeting, so as to prevent the change of college leaders from causing unrest among the students below.
At first, this sounded like a ridiculous thing. What does changing the dean have to do with the students, and what's so exciting about it.
But Li Yuan's proposal immediately won the support of all the student union members. After all, having such an opportunity to make his presence known in front of the entire college could greatly satisfy the vanity of young and energetic young men.
Tan Shuanghu did not resist this. After all, in his opinion, this was just the student union's self-singing and would not resonate with the students.
However, what Tan Shuanghu did not expect was that when the meeting came to the end and the agenda was brought out, the enthusiasm shown by the students was far beyond his imagination.
And the situation is getting worse. What was originally just a discussion about how students can smoothly transition into this chaotic period after the college changes its leadership, has gradually evolved into students starting to discuss who will be the next dean. Z.br>
After that, the students were divided into two groups.
One faction supports Duan Zhenbiao, and the other supports Yang Fang.
As for Guo Zhengde, who had been rumored before, it seems to have been forgotten and no one mentioned it.
After the two groups of students were formed, the quarrel gradually moved from inside the meeting to outside the meeting.
The two groups of students even went on strike, held up banners, and fought in the streets and alleys of the college. Finally, they met in the central square and a huge melee broke out.
Although everyone exercised restraint and did not use Qi, the chaotic scene caused quite a stir. In the end, it was the teachers who took action to end the farce.
If it were just like this, the college wouldn't care too much. After all, the Ivy League has an open academic style. It's not common to say that students like this are not uncommon.
However, when the teacher held an analysis meeting on the incident the next day, the teachers also started to quarrel for no apparent reason.
At first, the teachers were just defending their students, but somehow they also split into two groups and started to quarrel over who would be the next dean.
Although it is not as straightforward as the students, the meaning is already obvious.
As a result, the incident alarmed the school committee.
And this turmoil directly brought the competitive relationship between Duan Zhenbiao and Yang Fang from private to public.
The school committee has always chosen to pretend to be deaf and dumb when it comes to the selection of the next dean of Qi Ziyuan, hoping to conduct a secret investigation and then finalize the decision quickly, in order to reduce the chaos in Qi Ziyuan.
But this commotion also failed their calculations. No, it was equivalent to someone flipping the table and making them stop pretending to be stupid.
The helpless school committee could only announce that Duan Zhenbiao and Yang Fang would take turns acting as deans of Qi Ziyuan. On the one hand, it was to calm the impetuous emotions of the students, and on the other hand, it was also an investigation of the two.
The first person to act as the dean of Qi Ziyuan was Duan Zhenbiao.
Duan Zhenbiao and Yang Fang, who were at the center of the turmoil, only thought that the farce was caused by improper campaigning by their subordinates, but they did not expect the crisis hidden behind it.
After Tian Song left, Lu Xiaoran still didn't get up, but asked the waiter to change a pot of tea and tea sets.
After a while, the door of the teahouse opened again, and a young man with extraordinary temperament walked in and walked straight to Lu Xiaoran's seat.
The man looked older than Lu Xiaoran. Although he looked younger, the maturity in his eyes suggested that he was no longer a student.
"Team leader Xinxinsuo made a special trip... to drink tea."
