Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 874: Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, cold beauty x killer 8

Shen Xi stood not far away, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a faint smile, his eyes fell on Xie Qi.

"You have good taste indeed. This dress suits you very well."

His tone was relaxed, as if he was just casually commenting on a trivial matter.

Hearing this, Xie Qi silently sheathed his sword, his movements steady and neat. He nodded slightly, and said simply, "Yes."

The atmosphere between the two was a little strange. After all, they were not familiar with each other yet.

Xie Qi was a man of few words, so his silence at this moment seemed natural.

After dinner, the two went out together, but this time it was not for sightseeing or shopping.

He Shi was named King of Rui when he was 16 years old. At the age of 18, he built his own mansion outside the palace and became famous.

Shen Xi took a carriage and went straight to Master He's residence.

He had already made plans in his mind. After all, with his status as a merchant, it was almost impossible for him to meet Master He, the fourth prince.

However, fate always seems to be full of coincidences. When they arrived, they happened to run into Master He who was about to go out.

Seeing this, Shen Xi walked forward calmly, waved to the bewildered Master He, and said loudly: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

Master He obviously did not expect to meet them here. The expression on his face froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to his usual composure.

He quickly calmed down and turned back into the mansion.

After dismissing the servants in the room, Master He spoke slowly, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Why are you in this world?"

Shen Xi seemed particularly calm. He sat down on the chair slowly, picked up the freshly brewed tea, took a sip, and then responded slowly: "I wanted to ask you this."

Upon hearing this, Master He sighed and sat on a chair not far from Shen Xi.

He was full of questions, but he didn't know where to start.

Shen Xi put down his teacup, glanced at Master He, and said with a hint of teasing, "Judging from your reaction, you haven't found Ah Huan yet."

Master He frowned slightly, and was shocked: "How did you know?"

Shen Xi sighed, his tone showing some understanding: "Isn't this obvious? Moreover, not only did they not find the person, but there is also a potential mission."

"How do you know everything?" Master He couldn't help but ask.

"After all, we have worked together for so many years, so of course I know you." Shen Xi smiled slightly, "Why don't we help each other? I also need your help."

Master He glanced at him, with a puzzled tone in his voice: "We have never even met in this life, what can you do to help me?"

"Why not?" Shen Xi asked, "Don't you need money to fight for the throne?"

Upon hearing this, Master He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he almost forgot about the potential task of competing for the throne.

He was silent for a moment before calming down and asking, "Then how can we help each other?"

"I will rest assured when you ascend the throne." Shen Xi said firmly, "The Shen family represented by me will fully support you and stand behind you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master He's face revealed an undisguised look of disdain: "I thought it was a big deal, but it's just this small matter? I thought you wanted me to help you deal with the guy outside the door."

"I can't do it. I can take my time. I don't need your help." Shen Xi said with some confidence, "Besides, this is not a small matter. It is related to potential tasks. I am helping you. Why do you dislike it so much?"

"And..." Shen Xi changed the subject, his tone a little mysterious, "I also know the whereabouts of Ah Huan."

Hearing this, Master He's hands trembled slightly, and the tea in the cup almost spilled out. A flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He tried to make his voice sound calmer and asked, "Where is he?"

Shen Xi looked at his excited reaction and was used to it. He smiled slightly, with a somewhat indifferent tone: "I just talked about helping each other. As far as I know, the previous Royal Cloth Shop business was secretly operated by Ren Zhiyi of the Ministry of Personnel and given to that inconspicuous small cloth shop.

Now, I need you to bring all the cloth business this year and every year in the future to the Shen family."

"Ren Zhiyi? Do you have a grudge against him?" Master He asked.

"Not small." Shen Xi said calmly, "Anyway, will you help?"

Shen Xi had asked for it himself, so Master He had no reason not to help. He nodded, his tone firm: "Isn't it just a small matter? I'll do it for you when I go to the palace tomorrow. Before that, tell me where Ah Huan is?"

Shen Xi ignored his request, stood up, straightened his clothes, and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "When you get it done, I will tell you his whereabouts."

After saying that, he left the room without looking back, completely ignoring Master He's calls behind him.

"You threaten me!"

"No! Let's discuss it. Tell me first. Can I go and see him? Just one look..."

After opening the door, he called Xie Qi and left Master He's residence together.

Xie Qi got on the carriage behind him, recalling the scene when Shen Xi and Master He had just left the house.

'Are the two of them so close?'

Shen Xi was sitting at the window admiring the scenery, when he inexplicably received a 5% increase in his darkening value.

With some shock, he turned his gaze to Xie Qi, who was resting with his eyes closed.

"No... I just remembered something. My dark value has increased again."
