Chapter 1109 Fate
In the tenth store, Quan Liang was very happy.
He sat calmly in the main seat of the conference room, tapping the table with his right hand naturally, pretending to listen to Hu Nuannuan's report nonchalantly.
Although the face with the traces of time was still unwavering, in fact, his heart was already ecstatic.
As the only survivor of the Tenth Store, Hu Nuannuan inevitably had to tell Quan Liang about her mission experience after returning to the hotel.
The more Quan Liang listened, the happier he became, especially when he heard that Li Dahong and Hu Nuannuan had played roles in this mission to varying degrees.
"Okay, okay, luckily I thought about it for half a night before choosing these three people.
Ji Li has a very cold temperament. Although the people I chose are good and effective, he will not keep track of merit.
But even so, at least I didn't leave a bad impression on him, and that's enough. ”
Quan Liang is well versed in human nature, and his previous life has given him full experience in trying to figure out the character of those in power.
He had already finalized the plan when he learned that the new store manager was Ji Li. He wanted no merit but no fault. This was his life-saving strategy.
Although the strategy is like this, it is not to passively avoid war, but to focus on stability and fully meet Ji Li's requirements when it is within its own capabilities and does not threaten itself.
Quan Liang can be called a wonderful man.
"Uncle Quan, manager Ji is here again."
At this time, a young man knocked on the door and whispered to the two people inside.
Hu Nuannuan didn't move but turned to look at him. He hesitated but didn't move.
In fact, during the mission to become an immortal, she did not have much communication with Manager Ji. Instead, she experienced many events with Mei Sheng and others.
Therefore, the only impression Ji Li left on her was madness, violence and terror.
Quan Liang immediately pulled off the elbow he was leaning on on the table. When he stood up from the chair, he straightened his clothes, rubbed his face and walked towards the door.
Hu Nuannuan and the young man looked at each other with mixed feelings.
Of course, Quan Liang also saw the look between the two of them, but he still greeted them with a high head. In his opinion, this was the difference in the pattern.
Ji Li is not an ordinary store manager.
Quan Liang had seen with his own eyes how he could compete openly with Gu Xingjian and how he calculated against other store managers in his job as store manager.
The most important thing is that he felt the unique importance Li Yi and Gu Xingjian attached to Ji Li.
Li Yi's specialness is unique in Tianhai Hotel. He can be parachuted into the first branch as the store manager, which means that Tianhai attaches great importance to his identity.
Li Yi, who was valued by Tianhai, also valued Ji Li.
The subtlety of this...
Quan Liang didn't want to grovel to please others, but he understood that Ji Li could serve as a double store manager and Tianhai acquiesced, which was by no means an ordinary event.
Even though Ji Li has a cold temperament, for ordinary people like them, aside from Ji Li's mind and strength, his background is also very important.
Therefore, everything he did was not to make Ji Li pay attention to him, but just to get into his eyes.
If you can do this, you may change your destiny.
And until now, he is the only one in the Tenth Store who understands this truth.
……
Ji Li's purpose in coming to the Tenth Store was simple. He wanted to find something that Gu Xingjian and Miao Jiang valued extremely.
In the Tenth Store, there was something that even Gu Xingjian dreamed of. For this thing, he would not hesitate to cross the space and support the Tenth Store.
Even when it was about to lose control, he teamed up with Miao Jiang to invade the 10th store.
But Ji Li had no idea what it was.
However, he had some speculations about this in his heart - it should be related to the "Tianhai Core".
The Tenth Store is inherently unique, but it seems to be a burden to Tianhai, a redundant branch abandoned outside the core scope.
Historically, the jobs here have been very sparse, and the staff has been sporadic, so it should have been abandoned long ago.
But until now, even Zhu Xiaoning is dead, but this branch is still there.
Therefore, Ji Li had a bolder guess - maybe Tianhai was looking for something when he established the Tenth Store.
Gu Xingjian and Tianhai were of course looking for the same thing, which was an ownerless thing.
The main reason for this speculation is that Ji Li clearly noticed that Tianhai's control over the Tenth Store was getting weaker and weaker.
This point is most obvious from the last time Miao Jiang manipulated the ghost infants to invade.
The tenth store under the Tangtang Tianhai Hotel didn't even have the slightest ability to resist, and even needed teleportation from other branches to come to the rescue.
Therefore, Ji Li believes that the collapse of the Tenth Store is only a matter of time.
Specifically, it should be waiting for Tianhai to get the thing hidden in the Tenth Store, or giving up on it.
Since both Tianhai and Gu Xingjian are eager for this item, Ji Li, as the current store manager, is theoretically close to it, so there is no reason not to look for it. Quan Liang came into view with a low smile at this time, stopped three steps away, nodded slightly, and asked:
"Congratulations to the store manager for your successful return. What instructions do you have today?"
Not a single word in this sentence is redundant. If you say too many nice things, it will be counterproductive. It is most appropriate to stop talking.
Ji Li stood in front of a row of portraits, looked around the area, raised his head and said to the radio:
"Ji wants to dismantle the No. 10 store and reorganize it. Can it be done?"
Before the hotel could respond, Quan Liang's hand hidden behind his back suddenly shook, and his expression, which had always been very good, kept changing.
"Did I hear it correctly? He said he was going to demolish the Tenth Store and reorganize it?"
"No wonder Hu Nuannuan said he was crazy, but he should be normal after such a long time?"
"At the request of Ji Li, the manager of the Tenth Store, the branch can be destroyed and reorganized.
However, you need to use the power of the sky and sea once. You now have the right to use it twice. Do you want to use it? ”
The hotel will of the tenth store has a stiff male voice, but there is actually nothing wrong with this voice, because all branches have the same male voice.
Only Branch Seven has a female voice, and a special female voice.
Ji Li frowned slightly when he heard this, looked at the broadcast above his head and asked in confusion:
"The two rights of use are for the seventh store. I am now also the store manager of the tenth store, so I should get three additional rights."
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you said. Could you please confirm whether to use the power of the sky and the sea?"
After getting this response, Ji Li just realized a problem. No wonder the female voice said that -
"You and I are both rootless souls. I hope that one day you can help me after you redeem yourself."
The female voice in the Seventh Branch has soul.
The male voice at the 10th store is just a mechanical customer service role, and maybe the same is true for other branches.
But ultimately, this is a bug in the rules.
Ji Li serves as the store manager of two branches, and should have obtained the power of the sky and sea for a total of six times, but now it is obvious that he has not obtained the due authority from the tenth store.
This also shows from the side that the Tenth Store is really not far from closing down, and Tianhai's control over it has been weakened to the limit.
"Store...Store manager, do you really want to reorganize the tenth store?"
Quan Liang really couldn't listen anymore, and his huge confusion prompted him to ask this question.
Ji Li raised his eyes and glanced at him, then slowly shook his head and started walking towards the outer door with his cane.
Quan Liang saw this and wanted to follow, but was stopped softly.
"You don't have to follow."
……
After exiting the gate of the Tenth Store, this is a quiet villa area.
Villa No. 13 was reflected in Ji Li's eyes, allowing him to see tranquility and loneliness.
This villa is a realistic comparison of the Tenth Store.
Ji Li observed quietly, while also thinking about a possibility——
If that thing is hidden in the branch, there is a high probability that it will be obtained by Tianhai;
If that thing is hidden in Villa No. 13, then there is a high probability that it will be obtained by Gu Xingjian.
The current situation is that the two parties have tried their best but failed to obtain it in the end, which means that the thing is neither in reality nor in the hotel.
Ji Li couldn't really use the power of the sky and sea to tear down the No. 10 store and search for it, so he had to think of a better way.
Where is it hidden?
And just as Ji Li stared at Villa No. 13, a figure wearing cotton clothes slowly appeared in his peripheral vision.
That man was so ordinary that no one would take a second look at him.
Ji Li just glanced at him lightly. There was no supernatural smell on him, which meant he was just a passerby.
However, this ordinary man stopped at the door of Villa No. 13, a few meters away from Ji Li, and quietly observed together.
The midday sun shines on Villa No. 13, and also on the two men looking at it.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. They were both taciturn, looking at the same thing but never spoke to break the calm.
Even the timing of the two leaving was extremely synchronized, as if they were just taking a look and had no other purpose, nothing more.
And when they left separately, fate ordained that the two of them looked at each other skillfully.
Ji Li saw a pair of eyes that were as gloomy and lonely as his, and they seemed to contain the same sadness for fate.
The first meeting of two generations of protagonists (nothing profound, just a meeting)
