Although the two of them were joking, their underlying dissatisfaction was still revealed.
As soon as Xue Chen sat down, his eyes moved when he heard what the two people said with smiles on their faces, and then he said sheepishly: "There is indeed something that cannot be avoided, I'm sorry."
"Mr. Xue said that he would punish himself with three cups of wine, so you can't lie about it." Geng Huaiyuan said with a smile on his face.
"Of course, no problem, you should punish yourself with three cups." Xue Chen said without hesitation, not to mention three cups, even thirty cups. Even if he has the ability to rejuvenate, he will not get drunk, just like drinking cold water.
Xue Chen didn't care too much about the vague dissatisfaction between the two people. Firstly, it was indeed the time he agreed but he was late. What's more, it was the first time they met, which was really unreasonable. Secondly, these two people were also late today.
It was considered a favor to myself.
Zhao Yang nodded and said, "Mr. Xue is happy."
Xue Chen smiled lightly, picked up the wine bottle in front of him, poured himself a glass, and drank it in one gulp without saying a word.
Ren Chongshan and Wang Changfu both clapped their hands twice to express their admiration.
Xue Chen immediately poured a second glass of wine and wanted to drink it in one gulp. Wang Hao advised: "Xue Chen, you don't have to punish yourself with three glasses of wine, so you don't have to drink it all in one go. It will hurt your stomach, so drink slowly."
Ren Chongshan and Wang Changfu also gave casual advice. Only Geng Huaiming and Zhao Yang sat there with smiles, did not speak, and just looked at Xue Chen.
"Brother Wang, it's okay, I can hold on." Xue Chen gave Wang Hao a reassuring look and drank the second glass of wine in one gulp.
Seeing that Xue Chen was so determined, Wang Hao stopped stopping him.
When Xue Chen poured the third glass of wine and was just picking it up, his cell phone rang. Xue Chen picked it up. It was Secretary Hu who called, asking if he had returned to Haicheng safely.
"Well, Secretary Hu, I've arrived in Haicheng. Well, thank the governor for me for his concern. Okay, I know."
When Xue Chen hung up and put down his cell phone, he looked up and found that the private room suddenly became much quieter. He took advantage of the situation and picked up the third glass of wine that he had not had time to drink just now.
This time, without waiting for Wang Hao's advice, Geng Huaiming and Zhao Yang said almost in unison: "Oh, Mr. Xue, forget the third drink. The penalty of three drinks is just a joke. How can you really drink it?"
"That's right, you can't drink anything from this cup. Put it down. Two cups are enough."
Xue Chen glanced at the two people whose attitudes suddenly changed, and drank the third glass of wine. He put down the wine glass and said without changing his expression: "It is said that the penalty is three drinks, so naturally it is three drinks."
"Mr. Xue is indeed a real man, I admire him very much." Geng Huaiming praised.
"Haha, Mr. Xue is a cheerful person. I like to make friends with cheerful people the most. I am determined to be my friend Mr. Xue." Zhao Yang said with an affectionate expression.
Ren Chongshan and Wang Changfu also echoed twice, praising Xue Chen for drinking three drinks in a row just now, calling him a good drinker and a man.
Wang Hao smiled and said nothing. He glanced at Geng Huaiming and Zhao Yang from the corner of his eyes. He knew what was going on. Naturally, it was because of the phone call just now. Although it only lasted half a minute, it seemed that it had no impact.
Small.
"Xue Chen, who was Secretary Hu just now?" Although Wang Hao knew it already, he still asked. Although he knew that Xue Chen had a relationship with the province, he was still a little surprised when he saw this call just now.
"Oh, it's Secretary Hu Nanming. He just went to Governor Hao of Yang'an." Xue Chen simply replied.
When the other four people at the table heard these words, they all made small calculations in their minds.
Ren Chongshan had long heard about Xue Chen's relationship with the province, otherwise he would not have appeared here, let alone help Xue Chen embarrass a small store, so he was not particularly surprised, but it also made him feel even more worried.
I decided to have a good relationship with Xue Chen.
Wang Changfu was so surprised that his heart almost jumped out of his stomach. Except for today, he had not had much contact with Xue Chen recently, so he knew little about Xue Chen's situation. He only knew that Xue Chen was qualified to be the chairman of Ning Group.
The assistant has a close relationship with the mayor and the mayor's secretary, which already makes him speechless.
But now I suddenly heard that Xue Chen's hand had reached into the province and climbed up the big tree called Hao Yunfeng. If he hadn't been sitting firmly, he would have almost slipped under the table in shock!
These two people are like this, and Geng Huaiming and Zhao Yang, who met Xue Chen for the first time, are naturally even more so. When they heard Xue Chen mention the word governor on the phone, their hearts trembled.
Realizing some problems, he immediately stopped Xue Chen from drinking the third cup.
Now after hearing the questions and answers from Wang Hao and Xue Chen, their eyes changed, and any resentment in their stomachs towards Xue Chen's lateness was completely dissipated in an instant. Don't say he was late, he just didn't come.
They can't complain even if they don't feel comfortable.
"Oh, it turns out I went to Governor Hao, no wonder." Wang Hao smiled and nodded.
With this sudden call, the atmosphere at the wine table became very harmonious, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.
"Mr. Xue, when you went to Yanchuan Road today, did you go to a shop that deals in Feng Shui instruments?" Ren Chongshan asked casually.
"Yeah, not bad." Xue Chen nodded.
"Oh, Mr. Xue also knows Feng Shui? It's amazing." Geng Huaiming said in surprise.
"I can't say I understand, I just dabbled in some superficial knowledge." Xue Chen replied with a smile.
"At first glance, Mr. Xue is very humble." Zhao Yang pointed and said with a smile.
Wang Changfu said not to be outdone: "Mr. Xue is not only good at Feng Shui, he is also first-class in antiques. I have seen Mr. Xue's ability with my own eyes. Not only was he not deceived by the antique scammers, but he was also cheated.
fraud……"
When Wang Changfu vividly told the story of the time he plundered the old house, the other four people at the table were all amazed and full of praise for Xue Chen's methods.
"Speaking of Feng Shui, Xue Chen, do you know Mr. Xun?" Ren Chongshan asked.
"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it and I don't understand it." Xue Chen heard about this Mr. Xun from Zhong Dakuan. It seems that the president of the Haicheng Feng Shui Association is Mr.
of prestige.
"This Mr. Xun, I have heard that he seems to have some abilities." Wang Hao's expression moved, and then he said: "It seems that he has a very good relationship with Secretary Kong. There is also a sign of Mr. Xun hanging in Secretary Kong's office.
.”
Secretary Kong is naturally Kong Sen, Secretary of the Haicheng Municipal Party Committee.
Xue Chen heard that even Kong Sen valued this Mr. Xun very much, and thought that he must be really capable and not someone like Zhong Dakuan.
"It's easy to meet Mr. Xun. I once heard from a friend that on the first day of each month, the Haicheng City Feng Shui Association holds a gathering, and Mr. Xun will attend most of the time." Wang Changfu said.
Xue Chen nodded, feeling a little curious about this Mr.
Now I want to go and take a look.
After leaving the magnificent city, Xue Chen and Wang Hao waved their hands and got into the car. After returning to Jinguan City, they briefly washed themselves and decided to play with the gourd in the living room.
He originally only thought that buying twenty would be enough, but Pi Tianhe insisted on giving him fifty, so he had to sell all fifty.
Fifty gourds were a huge pile spread on the ground, and naturally it was impossible to use them all at once. He had already thought about preparing ten gourds for the first time he tried to make Chunyang gourds.
The quality of Hongyuan Pavilion's gourds is indeed good. Each color is pure, the skin is smooth, and it shines with a warm luster. At first glance, it is the best among gourds. There is absolutely no problem in making Chunyang gourds.
After a brief selection, he picked out the ten best-looking gourds. Looking at these ten gourds, Xue Chen breathed a sigh of relief and decided to start drying these ten gourds from tomorrow as the first batch of test products.
!
He also hoped in his heart that it would be as smooth and successful as making the meditation beads, because it was related to his ability to obtain spiritual energy through this method!
Now that we have the gourd and the finest cinnabar, we only need the last and indispensable ingredient, which is the rooster's comb blood.
Just like making Zhang Tianshi Seal, the rooster's comb blood cannot be left overnight. Once it is left overnight, it will lose its application effect, so don't worry, just wait until the gourd is dried in three days before collecting the comb blood.
But it would be a bit difficult for him to do this job himself. He couldn't collect so much rooster comb blood alone, and after the gourd was exposed to the sun for three days, he would immediately use a mixture of rooster comb blood and cinnabar.
The pigments have written Buddhist sayings on it, so the time is very short, only one morning.
If you temporarily search for roosters to obtain rooster comb blood, obviously there is not enough time, so there is only one way, and that is to prepare the roosters you need in advance, and when needed on the third day, you can immediately obtain enough rooster comb blood.
This requires some manpower to help him do these things, and Xue Chen also has a few suitable candidates in mind, the same people who have helped him collect information about the gods and Buddha statues enshrined by businesses everywhere.
Last time, those few people handled the matter very efficiently, which made him very satisfied, so he simply handed over the work to these few people this time.
Thinking of this, Xue Chen took out his mobile phone, found the phone number of Yan San, the leader of the group, and dialed it.
Yan Sanzheng was having a late-night snack with a few friends at a barbecue stall. He was surprised when he received a call from Xue Chen. He did not hesitate immediately and walked aside to pick up the call: "Hello, Mr. Xue."
"It's Mr. Yan San, right?"
"Yes, yes, is there something wrong with Mr. Xue? Please tell me!" Yan San asked eagerly. (To be continued)
