Outside of the restaurant, Meng Nan invited Bai Zhi back to the government office.

Without waiting for Bai Zhi to open her mouth, Hu Feng coughed loudly and swept his cold eyes to her. His cold eyes seemed like the usual looked in his eyes, but in Bai Zhi’s eyes, it was a threat.

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Today, I need to rush back home to collect melons. Boss Chen will send someone tomorrow morning to pick the melons. I can’t let them bring back nothing.”

Meng Nan was very disappointed, but he only sighed.

Looking at the carriage that gradually drifting away from their sight, Jin Shiwei couldn’t help but released a long sigh: “I didn’t expect that melons could taste so good. With Zhier’s ability, I’m afraid that, after we leave Qingyuan Town, no other food can satisfy us in our entire life.”

Meng Nan stared at Jin Shiwei and said: “Zhi’er promised me that she will go to the capital to find me. Didn’t you also hear it?”

Jin Shiwei wanted to say that if Bai Zhi goes to the capital, she will definitely find him, but if she didn’t go to the capital?

Seeing the expression on his young master’s face, he no longer said anything, so as to not destroy his good mood again

When they passed through the busy street, Bai Zhi proposed to buy some things before they go back home. Hu Feng stopped the carriage at the corner of the street, where people help to guard the carriage in their instead. This thing was very convenient for those people, who wanted to go to the market to buy some things and afraid to lose their carriage.

As soon as the carriage stopped, four to five men came towards them, aging from 20 to 40 years old.

Everyone was waiting for Hu Feng to open his mouth to get a job.

Hu Feng swept his eyes to the people in front of him. And then, he handed the reins in his hand to the man in his early 30’s: “Please take care of it.”

The man was very happy and repeatedly thank Hu Feng.

As the two went to the downtown, Bai Zhi asked Hu Feng: “There were other men, so why did you choose that man who looks unkind?” She really wanted to ask. Because the man in the early ’30s has a knife scar on his face. His smile was also not as brilliant as the other men, there was restraint, and he even cowered his eyes, unlike the others.

However, if she will have to choose, she will also choose that man. It’s just he wanted to know why Hu Feng chose him.

Hu Feng looked at Bai Zhi, who was on his side and said: “ You can’t judge a person by appearance, just as you can’t measure the sea with a pint pot. The more a person show his kindness on his face, the more his mind is dark. The more the person is genuine, the less he will deliberately express his temperament.”

“That’s all?” Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. It’s not Hu Feng’s personality to judge only in the surface.

Hu Feng opened his mouth again: “Naturally not. There are seven in people in total. There were three in the early ’20s, two in their 40’s and one in ’50s. But in the early ’30s, there is only one.”

Bai Zhi’s lips curved into a smile. They really had the same thought.

Hu Feng asked: “Now, it’s your turn. Why do you think I ended up choosing that man?”

Bai Zhi bought two pancakes and handed one to Hu Feng: “There are many reasons, in addition to what you said, there are four important points. First, he is old enough. In his age of early ’30s, he must have a family. So, although it’s hard to do this kind of job, he is willing to work harder than the others. He is not someone who will commit crimes. His wife is young, his children are young, so he will not do silly things.”
