Lin Ze rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said with a smile, "It's already unsettling to let Mr. Bai wait outside. You two are so polite."
"Don't talk so much, let's try Wanjun's craftsmanship." Bai Twelve enthusiastically pulled Lin Ze to the table, while Liu Wen sat down at Bai Wanjun's greeting.
Two teacups, two wine glasses,
Lin Ze and Bai Wanjun drank, Liu Wen and Bai Twelve drank tea,
The one who served tea was Bai Twelve, and the one who served wine was Bai Wanjun. It can be said that this couple had no airs at all and showed their hospitality to guests incisively and vividly.
Lin Ze is a fairly easy-going man who can get along with anyone. In addition, he was a little embarrassed after he tricked Bai Twelve last time, so he picked up the wine glass and said to Bai Twelve and Bai Wanjun: "Last time was ridiculous. I won’t mention the matter anymore. Talking too much would seem hypocritical. Come on, do it first out of respect.”
After finishing the drink, Bai Wanjun followed Lin Ze and had a drink.
Liu Wen can drink, but not Lin Ze, so drinking tea with Bai Twelve is the best thing.
Both Lin Ze, who is less scheming, and Liu Wen, who is mellow and worldly, both have a great fondness for this couple. They are not pretentious and have a low profile. They are rare friends.
During the dinner, Bai Twelve picked up dishes for Liu Wen and Lin Ze from time to time. Of course, he used serving chopsticks. As a person who is sick, he would pay attention to this regardless of whether others doubt whether his disease is contagious or not. , this is the most basic courtesy,
Bai Wanjun has an excellent drinking capacity, but Lin Ze is embarrassed to drink too hard. After all, she is a woman, and he is a rough man. Drinking too hard will always be suspected of being mean. Bai Wanjun can see what Lin Ze means. , didn’t point it out, just drank and chatted with Lin Ze,
In less than half an hour, Lin Ze had a basic understanding of Bai Wanjun.
This woman eats fast and chants Buddha's name, but she also drinks wine, and her knowledge is quite mixed. Maybe she doesn't want to show off. She has touched on all aspects, and does not give people the impression of being powerful. During the chat with Bai Wanjun, Liu Wen also said With considerable gains,
This is the case in the business world. There is a legend that insiders are king. If you can get first-hand inside information, plus you have the capital, making money is just a matter of minutes. Liu Wen was brought by Lin Ze. Bai Wanjun did not hide too much and could share it. Yes, she basically wouldn't hide it. In the end, Liu Wen was a little embarrassed.
The gifts she brought today were less than 100,000, but she gained at least 10,000,000 in insider tips. If she did it right, she could make a net profit of tens of millions.
Bai Twelve was not a well-rounded person, but he was not someone who didn't know anything. He could see Liu Wen's embarrassment, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, Miss Liu, why don't I play a song for you to add to the atmosphere."
Liu Wen understands the principle that people's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants. She just accepts things when they are good. Greed for too much will never lead to death. She was grateful to Bai Twelve for rescuing her. She hurriedly said: "I didn't expect that Mr. Bai has such talent. It's natural to have to do it." Eye-opening.”
A smile appeared on Bai Wanjun's face that could only be called graceful, but definitely not pretty, and she said softly: "I've just learned the piano not long ago, and I have to show off again."
Bai Twelve didn't feel guilty at all, and said: "You drink so vigorously, but I can't drink, so I always want to add a little atmosphere to you."
After that, he slowly stood up, moved to the guqin in front of him, and smiled at the people at the table: "I recently learned a song called "Man Jiang Hong". Although it is tragic, it is worthy of Mr. Lin's heroic ambitions. How about just How about playing this."
"Okay, I'm all ears." Lin Ze was not modest, he raised his glass and said, "Let's do one first."
Bai Twelve sat upright in front of the guqin like a beginner, caressing his palms for a while, and then started to play with a slightly serious expression.
Bai Wanjun stared at her husband who was playing the piano with a gentle expression, her brows filled with affection and even doting.
Bai Wanjun is twelve or thirteen years old. She is the child bride personally selected by Mr. Bai. She has been labeled as the Bai family's granddaughter-in-law since she was a child. She is qualified to live a pampered life. However, she has received the most systematic and comprehensive education since she was a child, and she is full of poetry at the age of twenty. Shu Jinglun, with the background as a foundation, she began to learn business operations. Now at the age of thirty-two, she is already an invisible female celebrity on the same level as Xue Bailing in Yanjing. In terms of business acumen, even Han Xiaoyi would probably sigh to herself. Not as good as,
She is willing to stand in front of Bai Twelve to protect him from wind and rain, and she is also willing to be the Bai family's invisible operator, standing behind Mr. Bai.
Not many people know that most of the decisions of the Bai family today are made by her. Even if they know her existence, people will think that she is just a puppet of Mr. Bai. But in fact, Mr. Bai no longer manages much, except for very few things. A few decisions require his reference, but in most cases Bai Wanjun takes charge alone.
Women are not allowed to be inferior to men, which refers to women like her.
After the song ended, Lin Ze and others clapped their hands and applauded, but Bai Twelve seemed to have a childlike innocence. He held the strings and smiled and said: "Since you are so happy, why don't I play "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" again."
When Bai Wanjun heard this, there was a slight complaint between his brows: "Mr. Lin just didn't give you face, but he may not really be praising you for your high level of skills."
Bai Twelve smiled and said: "I know my level is average. It is precisely because I am average that I need to exercise. I treat Mr. Lin as a friend, and Mr. Lin will also treat me as a friend. There is no need to be so careless between friends." many."
Bai Wanjun shook his head with a smile and said nothing, but Lin Ze smiled and said: "Young Master Bai, just play, your ability is only if you can play me to sleep, haha."
After being encouraged by Lin Ze, Bai Twelve was happy. He adjusted his breath slightly and was about to play another song, but was interrupted by a powerful scolding.
"Humph, I taught you a lot of kung fu, but I didn't do more physical training. Instead, I learned these mundane things. Isn't it interesting to think that it's boring?"
While he was talking, a gray shadow floated in from outside the door, followed by a pure white figure. The latter followed closely, not daring to go any further. Liu Wen looked at it and almost uttered a sound of surprise,
Gein's white figure was covered with gauze from top to bottom. Except for a pair of light gray eyes, no other parts could be seen at all. For a woman who had lived in a normal circle all year round, the appearance of this person really shocked Liu Wen.
When Lin Zefu saw the pair of master and apprentice, he was also greatly surprised. He even tensed up and had a strange expression.
When Merlin saw Lin Ze and others in the room, something strange flashed in his eyes. Seeing Lin Ze's stiff posture, he said indifferently: "Mr. Lin, don't be too nervous. You are here as a guest. I, an old servant of the Bai family, naturally won't I'm rude to you."
After saying that, his cold eyes fell on Bai Twelve, and he snorted coldly: "Twelve, have you been wasting your time like this these years?"
Bai Twelve stood up quickly when Mei Lin came over. He walked to Mei Lin and said with a respectful attitude: "Master, what you taught me is not wasted. It's just that practicing those things all day long is really boring and doesn't make much sense. It's better to play the piano to cultivate your sentiments." , on the contrary, it makes people happy physically and mentally.”
Merlin calls himself an old servant, but he has no intention of being a servant at all. On the contrary, the eldest son of the Bai family respects him very much.
"Humph, you don't have any skills to defend yourself. Aren't you afraid of being hurt?" Merlin said indifferently,
"Master, you are worried too much. I rarely go out and I don't do evil to others. How can I offend others? Besides, master, you are back now. With you here, my disciple is not worried at all." Bai Shi The two look like gentle and well-behaved apprentices, with respectful faces,
"Elder brother." The servant Bai bowed respectfully to Bai Twelve.
"Second Junior Brother, there is no need to be polite. This is not a snowy mountain. Just call me Twelve." Bai Twelve said affectionately. It was obvious that he had a very good feeling for this Second Junior Brother.
Merlin snorted, glanced at the food and wine on the table, and said coldly: "Are you very close to this young man?"
"Master, you mean Mr. Lin." Bai Twelve was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Mr. Lin is my good friend and a great hero that I admire."
"Huh, that means that if the master asks you to teach him a lesson, you won't agree." Merlin was very unhappy.
"Ah, why do you want to teach Mr. Lin a lesson?" A trace of confusion flashed across Bai Twelve's pale face.
"Do you remember the injury the master received when he came back that night?" Merlin stared into Bai Twelve's eyes and asked each word,
Bai Twelve's expression changed drastically, and he asked with difficulty and bitterness: "You mean, Mr. Lin hurt you."
