An Ning's father greeted me, "Come on, why don't you buy anything else? We don't lack these at home."
"It's nothing, I just brought you two bottles of wine," I handed the wine to An Ning, and then sat on the sofa next to An Ning's father.
An Ning's father pointed at An Ning and said: "Ning Niu, go... which one, call your mother. She happened to go to the market and ask her to buy more vegetables. Let's eat at home today. Just so you can My uncle is here too, let’s have a good drink.”
"Okay dad," An Ning walked towards the kitchen with the wine in hand.
As I sat here, I suddenly felt my legs shaking. I really didn’t know what to say. I rubbed my hands together. Uncle Guan looked me up and down, and then he laughed, "I said Lao An, you said you Apart from that pony, who else among these subordinates has the ability to hold up a territory,"
Hearing this, it seemed that they were talking about business matters. An Ning's father sighed, "Hey... now that Lao Deng is injured, Ma Tiancheng is basically busy inside and outside. It's really hard to find a capable helper." It's easy. I have analyzed it. The seafood market in the north of the city and the logistics base in the south of the city in the west require at least three people to be responsible for it. Now, except for Ma Tiancheng, there are only a few other reliable people. Management, but supervision is required. They are all young people and may not necessarily be reliable. Lao Deng usually goes by car to check accounts, but after all, he is not recovering very well now. He has to suffer so much every day."
"How about...I'll find two people for you," Uncle Guan said with a smile.
An Ning's father chuckled, "Don't I know those of your subordinates? They are all your favorites. If you give them to me, they may not listen to me. You should keep them for yourself."
"Hey, you don't have to worry. As long as I say a word, they will definitely do it honestly. Don't worry. Don't forget that your business is my business. Those of mine are all managed by me strictly. Don't worry. ,"
An Ning handed Uncle Guan a cigarette and threw it to me. Of course I didn't light it. Uncle An continued: "Actually, I'm not worried. Your people are still your people. Sooner or later, you will have to leave my place. I still have to rearrange my arrangements when the time comes, okay, let’s not talk about this for now.”
An Ning took a puff of cigarette, looked at me and asked, "Liu Chen, what are you doing in City Z now?"
"Oh," I paused and responded to him with a smile, "Uncle An, I am currently in the Dihao Business Club in City Z, and I am mainly responsible for human resources management."
Human resources management is actually similar to a security guard. If Emgrand didn't have half of my father's shares, I would just be a waiter.
An Ning's father nodded, "Some time ago, I heard that something happened to you there,"
I could only answer honestly, "Yes, something happened and the police have been chasing me for a long time, so I came to City J and wanted to stay for a while..." I said while thinking about what to say next.
An Ning's father sighed: "You are young and energetic. It's almost as I guessed. In this case, you should stay here for a while. Don't wander around when you have nothing to do. These are extraordinary times. People above are not interested in the current situation." All potential harms to society have been strictly reviewed, so you can live in the leisure villa in the south for now!"
After lunch, Uncle Guan left. An Ning helped her mother clear the table and clean. I sat in the living room while An Ning's father made a pot of tea and turned on the TV.
I haven't said a word since I finished eating. I tried to find a topic to break the deadlock, but after much thought, I didn't know what to say.
I thought that An Ning's dad would ask me some questions about what happened to me recently, but I didn't expect that he didn't ask a word, as if he didn't want to ask at all. This is very abnormal for me, after all, he has always been You're helping me.
"Well...Uncle An, I heard that Brother Deng was injured and is feeling much better now." After asking this question, I felt something was wrong, because Uncle An and Uncle Guan mentioned it just now, but I forgot about it. Already.
"It's not bad, I'm recovering well," An Ning's dad then poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of me, "Here, let's have a taste of this tea. How does it feel?"
I don’t know much about tea and rarely drink tea. I picked up the tea cup and smelled it. It felt very fragrant. The tea leaves inside were not like the kind of tea I usually see. The tea leaves in the cup were a little red. Could it be? So called black tea.
I took a sip and it felt very refreshing. My throat felt very refreshing instantly. I took another sip and said, "What kind of tea is this? It feels very good and refreshing."
Uncle An said with a smile: "This is called Red Hibiscus. It is a genetically improved variety of Flesh Hibiscus. Now your Uncle Guan and I have started to operate this tea market. This tea can replace ordinary cold medicine and has medicinal value." It's very large and has the effect of reducing inflammation, relieving cough and clearing away heat."
"Oh, this thing is quite magical," I took another sip, and it indeed tasted much better than ordinary tea.
Uncle An handed me a cigarette, "Here, let's try this cigarette."
I took this cigarette and took a look at it. Because the filter tip on this cigarette is red, could it be... I guessed it. The words "Red Hibiscus" were printed on this cigarette, "Uncle An, This cigarette is also tea,"
Uncle An smiled, stretched out his hand and patted his knee, "My dear, this cigarette is made from tea leaves, red hibiscus tea. Now it has been approved by the Tobacco Bureau for mass production. It won't be long before you can see it on the market. ,"
"Red Hibiscus," I lit this cigarette and took a puff. It felt a bit similar to drinking tea, but the feeling in my mouth was the smell of cigarettes, mixed with a refreshing feeling.
Uncle An looked at me, "How is it? Is this cigarette easier to smoke than the ones in Zhonghua Yuxi?"
"Yeah, it feels pretty good," I lit the cigarette butt and took another puff. My whole throat felt cool, but it also relieved my addiction. I didn't expect that Uncle An could start a tobacco production business. As long as he could be accepted by everyone Accept, this cigarette will definitely sell well all over the country.
An Ning came over from the kitchen carrying a fruit plate and looked at me and her dad smoking and chatting. She put the fruit plate on the coffee table and said, "Dad, can't you smoke less? And, Liu Chen, you You should also smoke less. Looking at the smell of cigarette smoke everywhere in this living room, the second-hand smoke we smoke is actually more harmful than you."
I really wanted to say: Since the harm is great, why not smoke one to reduce the harm, but I didn’t say it. An Ning’s dad smiled and took a puff, “My dear daughter, you don’t understand. This cigarette is harmful to the body.” The harm is less than 50% of our common cigarettes, and it does not contain nicotine. Don’t forget, this is tea, not real tobacco.”
An Ning glanced at her father impatiently, "I don't care what it is. In short, as long as it is smoke, it is not good for the body. Think about it, if the smoke is directly inhaled into the lungs, the lungs will also You must have been exposed to the smoke, it would be strange if you don’t get sick,"
After hearing what An Ning said, I was too embarrassed to continue smoking. I saw that there was still a little left before I finished smoking, and I was too embarrassed to refuse the cigarette given by Uncle An. It would not be good to waste it, so I just took one last puff. I took a puff and threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray. I spit it out gently and felt that my whole throat was refreshed. Then I drank a cup of red hibiscus tea and felt even more refreshed.
Suddenly the phone rang in the living room. Uncle An stood up and walked over to the phone. Watching him pick up the phone, he started to say: "Well... ok... I understand... OK... see you later... …”
It seems that An Ning's father has something to do. It's okay to leave. At least I can relax a little.
He walked towards me, "Liu Chen, I'm going out for a while. You and An Ning are at home, so don't wander around. I'll come back and have a meal together in the evening."
I stood up and looked at An Ning's father with a smile, "Okay, don't worry, Uncle An."
An Ning's father walked to the kitchen and said hello to An Ning's mother, and then went out. An Ning ran over excitedly, took my hand and walked to the second floor. As he walked, he said to me: "Let me show you Such a good thing,”
"What good things?" I asked her curiously, thinking that the so-called good things by women are just what women like, and there should be nothing interesting in the eyes of men.
When we arrived at the door of An Ning's room on the second floor, this girl opened the door. I poked my head and looked inside, but didn't find anything special, so I asked her, "Where are your so-called good things?"
An Ning pointed to a container similar to a glass fish tank on the desk and said, "Over there,"
I thought it was just a fish tank, but when I looked closely, there was no water except for some sand and gravel. An Ning walked over, smiled and pointed her finger inside, "Come and take a look, it's really fun."
"What?" I walked over and stared inside carefully. It didn't matter what I saw. I instantly got goosebumps all over my body. "What the hell?" I quickly took two steps back. I saw a body that looked like a snake. Just a paragraph.
An Ning laughed, "What are you afraid of? It's just a little snake,"
"Yes, it's a snake. I'm afraid of snakes, okay?"
An Ning snorted, "What a coward," she opened the top glass cover, then reached inside, and watched her slowly take out the very slender little snake inside. I wanted to rush out of the room right away. But even a girl like An Ning dares to hold a snake. I am a man. Damn it, looking at the golden snake in her hand with a few white spots on it, it should be the so-called money python. It's just a little too small.
An Ning held the snake in her hand and said to me, "Don't be afraid, it won't bite."
"Fart, how can a snake not bite?"
An Ning walked towards me and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. This kind of snake mainly feeds on small insects. It doesn't eat animals, not even mice. As long as you don't touch it hard and don't deliberately touch it." It makes an attack motion, but it won't bite you. Even if it bites you, it doesn't matter. It's not poisonous, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
