Chapter 822 The Fragrance of Tea in Hometown

On the bank of the moat, several young girls were building snowmen on the bank, making pleasant laughter from time to time.

Yu Guo, Hong Fu and others were playing a wrestling game on the frozen river, and occasionally heard some indecent words being uttered.

The door of the seventh branch was open like this, and the female voice was holding a plush shawl and standing gracefully.

The eyes were curved, as beautiful as crescent moons, with a sincere smile on his face.

Snow does not come easily in this city. It has not snowed so heavily in many years.

Not only were the clerks happy, but she was also infected.

When laughter came, she turned her head and looked at the familiar old seat under the seventeen portraits.

Ji Li's long hair was blown by the wind blowing against his face, and the cigarette on his fingertips continued to spark, falling on the neat table.

He half-closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, or looking at the people outside the door.

The female voice did not disturb him, but put on her shawl, walked out of the hotel, and headed towards the river bank.

I don’t know how long this rare tranquility and comfort have passed.

Yu Guo, who was wearing a cotton hat, came back from outside. His body was covered with condensed snow. He took off his cotton hat and shook the snow from his face with a red face.

"It's a four-star promotion mission, why don't you have time to spare?"

The cold snowflakes splashed on Ji Li's face and turned into water droplets, slowly sliding down, forcing him to open his eyes.

Ji Li wiped the water droplets with the back of his hand, looked at Yu Guo's frown, and scolded in a low voice:

"Leave far away."

Yu Guo's red face showed a cheerful smile, he stopped what he was doing, but did not move, and said:

"It's such a good day, why don't you smile?"

After saying that, he pointed outside the door. Mei Sheng, who was wearing a pink down jacket on the bridge, was looking at the frozen river.

"Even that guy is out having fun."

Ji Li didn't look in the direction he pointed, and didn't know who he was talking about. He just lowered his head and lit a cigarette for himself.

Yu Guo stamped his feet on the spot. The snow on his body had almost melted, so he sat on the chair and said softly:

"I said you can't do nothing but do tasks, right?"

The smoke drifted away with the wind. Ji Li wrapped his collar tightly and looked at the sky.

"Then what else can I do."

"I don't want to chat with you, you always make the topic so heavy."

Yu Guo stood up again as soon as his butt stuck to the chair. He thought that he couldn't communicate with Ji Li when he was so happy.

By chance, Hong Fu, who was wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket, jumped to his feet and shouted to him:

"Sun Sha, you ran away after being defeated? Hurry up, I will give you another chance."

"Oh, I have such a bad temper..."

Yu Guo shook his clothes, left his position, and ran towards the door.

But just before he left, he took off his cotton hat and shook all the snow on Ji Li's body.

"Hahaha, I'll keep you tight."

Ji Li's face turned cold, and before he could speak, Yu Guo had already disappeared.

"Neuropathy."

Even if he scolds him, he won't really do anything to Yu Guo.

Looking at the snow stains on his clothes, he could only stand up, take off his coat, hold it in his hand, and turn around to go upstairs.

…

The room filled with water vapor exudes a warmth that is completely different from that in winter.

Ji Li wiped his hair with a towel and walked towards the window.

The shop assistants by the river were still having fun, including Mei Sheng, Xiao Qianduye and others who were also chatting at the bridge.

It seems that a pure and cold snow day can bring people as much happiness as a sunny sunny day.

His eyes finally settled on Yu Guo. This young man who was engaged but was always crazy, looked so healthy and cheerful on the surface.

But Ji Li didn't believe it and didn't understand what this snow meant to him.

The prelude to winter has arrived, and so have the hopes and fears.

The mechanical electronic sound sounded and the vibrating sound of the mobile phone drew Ji Li's attention back to the room.

Ji Li put down the towel, walked to the table, and swiped the phone screen.

Above is a text message sent from a series of unfamiliar numbers:

"Recipient: Ji Li.

At 6:30 in the evening, come to ‘Hometown Tea Fragrance’ to discuss the plan for this mission.

Sender: Li Yi. "

The first branch, the four-star promotion task, attracted everyone's attention.

According to Hou Guisheng, no one in the past generations of store clerks has led a branch to four stars.

Of course, he, the oldest store manager, is only around ten years old.

Therefore, his words can only be regarded as reference and cannot be regarded as golden rules.

However, in the minds of most clerks, being able to join a four-star hotel is already an insurmountable height.

The first branch was already strong, and Li Yi's airborne landing was even more powerful.

Almost everyone is eagerly looking forward to whether Li Yi can break the four-star dilemma and become the veritable number one in Tianhai.

This mission has many restrictions and the content is general.

Just the prohibition of illegal substances is enough to make most store employees feel worried.

It can be said that with the development of Tianhai Hotel to this point, sinful objects have become important props that everyone relies on.

Losing the sinful object is equivalent to the tiger pulling out its claws, and it will naturally produce fear.

Of course, based on what Jili saw and heard.

Those top store managers are often not powerful because of sinful objects, but they themselves have outstanding qualities that ordinary people cannot match.

The most obvious case is Gu Xingjian.

He rarely uses evil objects to fight against ghosts. He usually sees through the rules and uses them to survive.

On the contrary, those people with sharp weapons but simple minds may be prosperous for a short time, but they will quickly become withered bones in the grave.

Therefore, from Ji Li's point of view, this four-star promotion mission has returned to its original essence.

As for the content of this mission, he already had some guesses.

As the protagonist of the mission, the First Branch will naturally call the other participants for a meeting, so this meeting has to go.

When Ji Li had just finished getting dressed, there was a knock on the door. The person who came seemed a little anxious and used a heavy force.

Ji Li packed his bags and opened the door slowly.

Chang Nian, who was dressed in black and very tall, had a backpack at his feet and was tying his hair.

She looked at Ji Li and combed her hair into a high ponytail to look more capable, and asked hurriedly:

"Did you receive the text message from the first branch? Did you ask us to have a meeting?"

Chang Nian should also be one of the participants selected for the seventh branch.

Ji Li frowned, looking at her hurried tone, as if she was ready to go into battle at any time.

But the mission wouldn't start until two days later, so she was a little too impatient.

Although Chang Nian's behavior is understandable, after all, she urgently needs a sinful object against the soul to save Tongguan.

So she regarded this mission as a life-saving straw, and it was understandable that she was anxious.

But Ji Li was worried that if she was in such a state, she might act too hastily and cause trouble.

Chang Nian saw that Ji Li was silent, so Quan acquiesced.

So Jiang glanced at the time, strode outside, and said as he walked:

"The hometown tea fragrance is not in our area. I will drive first and you wait for me at the door."
