Chapter 17 The Key Glued to the Back of the Desk
Yuanxiao walked in quickly and looked around the entire office, but was angry and found that the things inside had almost been cleaned up.
Lantern Festival became popular all of a sudden, and he grabbed Manager Ma, "Didn't I tell you, don't touch the things here, will I clean up myself!"
Manager Ma's face turned cold and raised his hand to shake off the Lantern Festival, "Hey! I warn you not to do anything! Be careful I call the security guard!"
Yuanxiao shouted loudly: "Where is the things in this room?"
Manager Ma impatiently pointed his hand at the corner of the room, "Those rags are in that place!"
We looked up and saw a large cardboard box under the base of the wall, and many things were thrown into it randomly.
Yuanxiao's face suddenly turned red with anger and shouted loudly, "Do you put down your things and go outside!"
Although several workers who moved things were not clear about the specific situation, they still knew that this was the young master of the Tang family, so they hurriedly put down the things and wanted to go out.
Manager Ma raised his hand to stop them, "Don't move! Don't listen to him!" Manager Ma looked at Yuanxiao with a slutty expression of beating, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you are the eldest master of the Tang family! When your father is here, you acted as a mighty person. Your father is gone, so how can you be so arrogant! I really don't know what you are!"
When I heard this, I was furious and wanted to rush over and beat this snob. But Lantern Festival was faster than me. I sneered, rushed over and grabbed Manager Ma's collar, and raised my hand. Anyway, there were a few big mouths. Yuanxiao people were tall and big, almost one head taller than this Manager Ma. Manager Ma had no power to fight back, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"You pug who changes your mind when you see the wind! I will give you some memory today!" Yuanxiao raised his kick and kicked the villain to the door.
Several security guards rushed over when they heard the sound. Lanxiao opened his eyes wide and pointed with his hands, "I see who dares to get involved! Whoever gets involved will get rid of me today! If you don't believe me, try it!"
Several security guards were obviously much smarter than Supervisor Ma, knowing that although Lantern Festival lost power, the lean camel was bigger than the Horse. If there was a conflict, it would be his own loss. Several people had to set up Supervisor Ma and slipped out together with a few workers who were carrying things.
Lantern Festival closed the door heavily, sat on the sofa, and sulked alone!
I didn't disturb Yuanxiao, so it would be better to let him calm down on his own at this time. I walked around in this huge office. Although the room had been moved in a mess at this time, it could still be seen that the luxury and grandeur at that time.
I came to Tang Handong's boss's desk, and the wide desktop was like a single bed. Some computer connection cables were thrown on the table in a mess, but the computer host was gone long ago.
I looked through the drawer and found that it was basically full of commercial information and some data reports, and there seemed to be nothing important.
There was a photo under the computer connection cable on the desktop. I threw a mess of wires on the ground, picked up the photo and looked over. It turned out to be a photo of the three of them when they were young. It seemed that although Tang Handong was a little ruthless, he was still considerate to his family.
I took the photo in my hand and was about to hand it over to Lantern Festival. Suddenly, I saw a plant with an oily pen on the desk of the boss. It looked like a flower or a grass.
This surprised me a little. Tang Handong is so old that he is still childish and is still drawing and playing on the table by himself? Isn’t this something that elementary school students do?
I wiped the dust on the table with my hands and looked at the pattern carefully. I noticed this pattern. Tang Handong should have been more serious when painting, not casually graffiti. This shows that Tang Handong did it on purpose, so what is his purpose? Why did he draw such a pattern on his desk!
I looked at the Lantern Festival, who was still sitting on the sofa, "Hey! Master, it's almost done, why are you still sentimental and endless?" Lantern Festival shook her head and sighed. I continued, "Stop being too lazy, I found something, come and take a look!"
After hearing what I said, Yuanxiao got up and walked over. I pointed out the pattern I found on the table to him.
Yuanxiao frowned and looked at it. At first, there seemed to be no reaction, but after a moment, his face changed. He lay on the table and carefully observed the pattern on it.
When I saw his reaction, I asked, "What does this pattern mean? What is it drawn on it?"
Yuanxiao was silent for a while and said softly: "This is the dogtail grass!"
At this time, I saw a deep sadness in Yuanxiao's eyes. Then, Yuanxiao told me that when I was young, he and his father often played together in the garden at home. At that time, they liked to play a game of digging for treasures, which probably also had something to do with the influence of their family background.
At that time, Tang Handong would bury some small toys and other things in the yard, and then find and dig them out by Yuanxiao. However, he was afraid that Yuanxiao would not be able to find it, so he would insert a dogtail grass into the place where the things were buried as a mark.
Yuanxiao's voice was a little choked, "When I grew up, my dad was very busy. I once felt that he no longer valued me, but he still remembered this, and drew the things we played with when we were young here!"
In this world, there are no absolutely good people or bad people. Good people may have bad sides, but bad people also have their own gentle and kind side. I think the same is true for Tang Handong. I used to hate him so much, but now people die like a lamp that goes out. Maybe because I see his kind side, I feel that my view of him has gradually changed, and I no longer hate him.
I patted Yuanxiao on the shoulder, "Let's pack up!"
Yuanxiao nodded and was about to turn around, but suddenly he was stunned! Seeing his strange expression, I quickly asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong!"
"No!" Yuanxiao said, "No! My dad won't leave the pattern of this dogtail grass casually! He must have his intention. Think about it, when I was playing with my dad when I was a child, what did the meaning of this dogtail grass mean?"
I pondered for a moment, and suddenly my eyes widened, "You mean," I suddenly pointed to the dogtail pattern on the table, "Is there anything hidden underneath?"
Yuanxiao nodded vigorously, "This is very likely!" As he said that, he turned around and fumbled on the table. We didn't find anything on the table, so we got under the table.
After pulling off the larger drawer in the middle, we were surprised to find that a key was stuck to the back of the table board with tape. Yuanxiao reached out and pulled the key off.
This is a very exquisite key, with two capital letters on it bj, which is particularly eye-catching.
I pointed to the key and asked, "bj? What's the key?"
Yuanxiao thought for a while and said, "This should be the key to the Earl's Club. Where does my father often go? He chats with old friends, drinks tea, and plays chess."
"Why did your dad leave you a key to the Earl's Club?"
"It must be that my dad left something there. He must have hoped that I could get it, so he left the mark of this dogtail grass, because only I can understand it. This key is probably the key of the storage box." As he said that, Yuanxiao put the key in his pocket.
We roughly packed up the things in the office, moved the cardboard box, and went straight to the Dongding Pavilion in Panjiayuan. Tang Handong's relics were temporarily placed in the store, and we will talk about them later.
Seeing us entering and leaving, Sisi asked, "Brother Tom, where are you going? I can't be busy alone when the store is busy!"
Yuanxiao scratched her head, "I'll go back and hire a clerk for you, but now I have something to do and have to go to the Earls Club!"
"Correspondence?" Sisi looked at Lantern Festival with suspicion.
Yuanxiao quickly explained, "It's not the kind of club you think, it's the leisure club my dad used to go to, the old men's!" Seeing Sisi's eyes relax, Yuanxiao then breathed a sigh of relief and went out and drove me straight to the Earls Club.
I have been to this Earl Club Lantern Festival several times, but I have always been to Tang Handong. This place is located near Bada Tower and is built along the mountain, very hidden and quiet. This reminds me of Rongchang Pavilion. Although it is not as large as Rongchang Pavilion, it still feels quite similar.
Actually, I don’t like this environment very much. Maybe it’s because I can’t reach my age or realm. I prefer the feeling of quietness in the midst of noise. This absolute purity always makes my heart feel empty.
I originally thought that after I came, I opened the box and took things away. Unexpectedly, it was difficult for us to enter the door! This reminded me of Rongchang Pavilion again, and I cursed in my heart that such a place is so concealed that I dare not see people, there must be something shameful behind it!
Two black suits at the door stopped us directly. One of them also knew Yuanxiao, "Young Master Tang, you can't go in!"
Yuanxiao asked strangely, "Since you all know me and I have come often before, why don't you let me in!"
These two black suits are obviously professionally trained. Although they are determined to block the situation, they are very polite. "You used to come with Boss Tang. Boss Tang is our member. You are a guest, so of course you can enter. However, according to the regulations of our club, without the accompanying member, non-members are not allowed to enter. Please forgive me, Mr. Tang!"
How could Lantern Festival give up? Still refusing to give up. "Then I'll go in for a few minutes, can I do it?"
After receiving a negative answer, Yuanxiao continued to entangle, "Then can I join the association? How much does it cost? You guys say!"
The black suit still smiled and shook his head, "If you want to join the club, of course we welcome it, but it requires application and review. Please wait patiently!"
"Damn! You guys force me to turn against each other!" Yuanxiao was already a little angry.
Chapter completed!
