Among the traditional southern teahouses, the most famous ones are Taotaoju, Lianxianglou, Huirulou and other places. Among them, Taotaoju is located on Dishifu Road, and its original name was Grapeju. In the sixth year of Guangxu, it was re-named Taotaoju. When it was re-named Taotaoju in a boss named Chen, it was later re-named Taotaoju. Boss Huang was well-managed and invited Kang Youwei to write a name, and used the word "Taotao" as the Heding Type to collect couplets. In this way, it became famous and was a good place to drink morning tea.

I got the reply and immediately called Nuer, then drove to Taotaoju. When I arrived at the place, I realized that perhaps it was because of the reputation that the teahouse was so crowded. The huge store was not only empty, but also a long line of people were lined up in front of the door. I looked around the lobby where people were crowded, but I didn't see Maitreya's iconic bald head.

The crowded crowd made people feel a little confused. At this moment, a man suddenly walked upstairs, including suits, ties, black leather shoes and tie, and a white-collar worker dress, very smart and capable. He looked at Nur and me, and then said, "Are you Mr. Chen?"

I nodded, and the man smiled and said, "Hello, I am Wang Qiushui, a subordinate of Boss Lu. I just called you. Sorry, my boss didn't know that Taotaoju's business was so good, but it was a bit rude to make an appointment here. But we have already found a location in the next cafe and asked the boss to send some refreshments later. Please follow me - by the way, what do you call this gentleman?"

Nour used ventriloquism. Generally, in order to avoid making trouble for others and try not to speak, I explained to him that this gentleman's surname is Liang and is also an old friend of Maitreya. He has a mouth disease and cannot speak, so please don't be surprised.

Wang Qiushui glanced at Nuer and said, "It's okay, since he is the boss's old friend, let's come together."

He led the two of us all the way to the next cafe. The cafe in the morning half-closed the door, and there was a piano piece of Chopin or Mozart. The sound of the piano was like running water, hitting my eardrums, creating a wonderful feeling. The cafe is not big, but the scenery inside is covered by vines and exquisite screens. I couldn't see it at a glance. After walking around the two screens, I saw Maitreya's signature bald head sitting in the corner.

After Wang Qiushui led the way, he nodded slightly to Maitreya, then left, preparing us to go early. Maitreya and I sat down and were about to make some politeness, but Maitreya, who was sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes and said in an extremely plain tone: "Brother Zhicheng, what's the matter with you?"

His straightforwardness saved me a lot of talk, but after careful consideration, I was suddenly shocked.

You must know that I have never told Xiao Guanyin and Maitreya my real name, and my name was changed after going to Maoshan. At this moment, when Maitreya called it out, I suddenly felt stiff. Only then did I realize that I had discussed foreign trade issues seriously with Maitreya yesterday, but I made a fool of myself. Maitreya should have known my identity for a long time.

The feeling of talking lies with my eyes open is really bad. It was exposed again at this moment. Even though I was already very thick-skinned, I couldn't help but blush. But I wasn't too shy and asked naturally: "Why, do you know me?"

Maitreya smiled gently and said, "You are the eldest disciple of the Maoshan Sect, the leader of the Special Service Group of the Second Division of the Religious Administration. You are a famous figure in the world, how can you not know me?"

My pupils immediately condensed and I said gently: "Sure enough, I knew that Brother Maitreya is also a person who is in the world. I don't know which industry you are in?"

Seeing Nuer and I look full of vigilance, Maitreya smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Don't be nervous, you two are not the partner you are looking for, and it has nothing to do with your case. I came here today to reminisce about the past with my friends, not anything else. If you want to end up with me, I have no obligation to cooperate. The reason I met you was just because of the face of the little Guanyin. I spoke straight to the point because of the limited time and I didn't want to circle you."

When he said this, I was no longer on guard. Although I didn't know what Maitreya had to do with the Min Cult we were following, I thought he also seemed to use us to cut off the organization, so he directly told what happened yesterday and asked: "You appeared by the river yesterday and told me your address. It should have been done on purpose, right?"

Maitreya smiled, neither denying nor acknowledging, but said with a faint smile: "This is all your guess. Are you here to come to me today, just wanting to tell me this?"

I shook my head and asked directly: "No, I just want to ask you how can I find the Min Cult's nest?"

Maitreya shook his head and said, "Min Cult's nest, your religious bureau has never known it, but how could I know? I think you really asked the wrong person about this - uh, okay, Taotaoju's refreshments are here, you can try it?" As he spoke, Wang Qiushui didn't know what method he used, and he really called two guys from the busy Taotaoju and walked over with a tray full of refreshments and snacks. The man in the suit and tie smiled and said, "Come and try it, Taotaoju's milky yellow buns are full of fragrance and have a very special coconut milk flavor; thin-skinned shrimp dumplings are also very good, just like artwork..."

Wang Qiushui directed the guy to serve the dishes at the table. Our conversation was interrupted. At this time, I was thinking. Judging from what happened yesterday, I was almost sure that Maitreya wanted to reveal something to us, but he was very pretentious and never said it explicitly. Instead, he liked to let me guess myself. I think this might be because he was afraid of revenge, or other reasons.

However, it was really uncomfortable to circle around like this. I didn't continue. Instead, I waited for everything to be done. After the two friends of Taotaoju left, they asked another question about Maitreya: "Okay, let's not talk about Mr. Wen, Maitreya, is my fat girl here with you?"

Maitreya raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "What fat girl?"

When I saw him knowing nothing, I said directly: "It's a very magical little monkey. It has grown up with me since I was a child and was my best friend. Later, when I was in southern Xinjiang, I was separated from it before I met you, and there was no news since then. Until someone told me in my heart that I saw it with you..."

"impossible!"

Maitreya flatly rejected my statement, shook his head and said, "There is nothing, I have never brought any monkeys. You can ask Qiu Shui for this, and ask him when did I have such a pet?"

After Wang Qiushui, who was next to us, shook his head and said seriously: "There are never any monkeys around the boss."

I stared at Maitreya's deep and dark eyes, and felt that this mysterious man had too many things that I had unknown to me. After looking at it for more than ten seconds, I nodded and said calmly: "Oh, since that's the case, it may be that others were confused. But I hope that if the person who picked up the fat girl could treat it well, that little guy was very simple. Whoever treats it would doubly well to whom..."

Maitreya smiled and said nothing, and began to eat a wide variety of breakfast on the table. Wang Qiushui next to her also arranged arranging and let us taste it while it was hot. I ate a cucumber bread, and then began to tell myself about the clues of Mr. Wen. Regardless of whether Maitreya would like to listen or not, I said almost the same. The morning tea was over. I did not care at all, holding the tabletop in my hand to leave. Before that, I finally asked again: "As outsiders, I don't know what can I teach me?"

Maitreya took a sip of tea, shook his head, then raised his glass and said, "I may have been in Nanfang City recently. Do I have time to drink tea together?"

Wang Qiushui said without a trace: "You said that Mr. Wen once praised you for your advice, saying that you can find him if you want to eat lobsters. You are so arrogant? It would be embarrassing to say such words, at least that's what I think..."

Wang Qiushui's words made me suddenly enlightened. By the way, we had always mistakenly thought that the prosperous fishery that Mr. Wen used to preface was just a lie. The so-called control of more than 40% of the groundwater market is probably about drugs. However, now it seems that the prosperous fishery may really exist, but it is hidden deeper, and most people may not know it. We asked the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to investigate before, but it was not detailed, but we didn't know that there might be something else in it...

After a long time of fighting Tai Chi, Nur and I finally got what we wanted. Noor and I didn't stay any longer and stood up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, I looked at Maitreya's face that looked like a Buddha statue and said sincerely: "Brother Maitreya, you and I have known each other for more than ten years. I really hope that you will be friends in the future, and I don't want one day to become the target I need to pursue."

Maitreya reached out to hold on to me and smiled calmly: "That's right, I will be a grass-roots under the leadership of Team Chief Chen in the future. Please take care of me."
