He also grinned, "It seems that I really can't lie to you. Dr. Feng is really a smart man."
I waved my hand at him and said, "Stop flattering me. Tell me, what's the matter? We are friends, just tell us what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."
"That's it. Didn't we mention that the company we introduced to you sent a lot of bricks and gravel? However, they haven't paid for it for so long. Doctor Feng, look..." He then
He stuttered out his words.
I was very surprised, "Is this so possible? Haven't you ever gone to them?"
He said: "Why didn't you go? But I have never seen that Shangguan assistant once. The people in the finance department said that the Shangguan assistant must sign before you can get the money."
I suddenly became a little angry, "Then why don't you call me? Or you can come to me?"
He said: "I think you introduced me to the business. I would be embarrassed if I came to trouble you again."
Of course I wouldn't believe what he said, "Old Qin, do you think they don't give me face and are afraid that they will embarrass me if they find me? Or do you suspect that I joined them to deceive you?"
"No, no! How is that possible? How could I suspect that you lied to us? Your stone house is still here, and everything in it is still there, and it's still so clean..." he said hurriedly, realizing that I was watching
He suddenly became embarrassed and said, "Dr. Feng, you know, this is the money that people in our village have worked hard for for half a year."
I didn't care about his lie just now, so I nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll call you right away to ask."
He kept saying thanks.
I started to call Shangguanqin, "Shangguan, you are not interesting enough."
"Brother Feng, why do you say that?" Her surprised voice suddenly came from the phone.
I said: "A company as big as Jiangnan Group wouldn't owe a village the material fees, right? You know that the village chief was the person I introduced. Why? Are you so disrespectful to me?"
This sentence is indeed a bit harsh, but I am really angry, and now is the time when I need to save face.
Shangguanqin said: "Brother Feng, you misunderstood. Here's the thing, I thought, if they come to ask for money, you have to say hello to me, right? You haven't called me even once, I thought just in case
Those villagers took the money... Haha! You should know what I mean."
I understood immediately, and now I was really angry, "Shangguan, no matter how miserable I am, Feng Xiao, I won't ask for any benefits from them, right? Do you look down on me?"
However, Shangguan Qin said: "Brother Feng, you misunderstood me. I mean, since you introduced them to me, I have to let you be a good person. Don't you think so?"
So that's it. I thought to myself. From this, I suddenly felt that there was a huge difference between her and Lin Yu. Lin Yu understood farmers, but she treated these farmers as some businessmen. But I also understand
Because I thought that she might have little contact with farmers, I said to her gently: "Shangguan, stop talking, give me a face and pay them all. Don't ask me again in the future.
, It’s not easy for farmers like us, all they earn is coolie money. Do you think so?”
She smiled and said, "Okay. Now that you have spoken, what else can I say? Well, just let them come and get the money tomorrow."
"Thank you. I thank you." I hung up the phone, then looked at the village chief in front of me and said with a smile, "The problem is solved. You can go get the money tomorrow."
He was overjoyed and said, "Dr. Feng, thank you so much. Please sit here for a while while I go get some dishes and let's have some drinks, okay?"
I laughed, "Yes. If I don't get your money, it seems I won't be able to enjoy this meal today."
He suddenly became embarrassed, "Dr. Feng, where are you? Didn't you have time to talk about other things when you arrived?"
I also felt that my joke was a bit too big, so I laughed and said, "Okay, you can just go and get two dishes, and we can have a few cups."
He went into the house in a hurry, and I sat in the courtyard and looked at the surrounding scenery. I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Shangguanqin still asked me to do all the good things.
He came out after a while, first brought a small table out, and then went in to get some peanuts, peas, etc., as well as a plate of dried tofu and a bottle of white wine. "Doctor Feng, I cooked the bacon. Let's cook it first."
Drink."
In fact, I really like drinking in such an environment, because it actually breaks through the atmosphere of just drinking. It is a different realm.
Isn’t it? In this small farmhouse, there is autumn color outside and the breeze is rippling. There are two of us, one is a doctor and the other is the village chief. We have a few simple dishes to go with wine and a bottle of Laobaigan. This is so like the ancients.
.
He poured me a small glass of wine, and then poured it for himself. He raised his glass to me, "Dr. Feng, thank you so much. Come on, let me toast you."
I hurriedly said: "Stop it, don't say thank you. I just fulfilled my promise to you. In fact, I should apologize to you. I don't care enough about this matter."
He suddenly felt even more embarrassed, "Dr. Feng, you are such a good person."
So we started drinking, each time just a small drink. This is the taste I need. The fried peanuts and fried beans in the countryside are different from those bought in the city. They are much crispier. Maybe I am hungry.
Because of that, I ate a lot anyway.
It didn't take long for the bacon to be cooked. He cut it and brought it out. I immediately smelled a special aroma and couldn't help but prepare to grab a piece with my hands. However, at this moment, my phone rang.
, hurriedly retracted his hand to answer.
The call was from Lin Yu, "Feng Xiao, let's have dinner at your restaurant tonight. I made an appointment with President Chang. I also thought about it. At least it wouldn't be so embarrassing if you were here. Don't you think so?"
"
I suddenly felt awkward in my heart, "Sister, you two women are having dinner together, why should I go? It's not very good, okay? It's okay for you to go to my place for dinner, I will arrange it right away, but I won't participate, right?"
She said: "No, you have to participate. I told President Chang that you would come. She heard that you opened a restaurant and she was very happy."
I had no choice but to say, "Okay. I'll be right back."
She added: "Look, call a few more people. It will be more lively."
"Who did you call them?" I asked.
"I asked you to scream, but you came to ask me instead. It's true." She said coquettishly.
"In this case, I will call Demao, and... this, my father-in-law, can you?" I asked tentatively.
"Okay, that's it." She said and hung up the phone.
I had no choice but to go and say to Qin Xuquan: "Old Qin, I'm in a hurry and have to go back right away."
He said: "I heard it all. You are really busy. Okay, I'll see you off."
I stopped him hastily, "No need." Then I looked at the bacon on the plate. They were so fat that they were shiny, and then I grabbed a piece and stuffed it into my mouth. "Well, it tastes good."
He looked very happy and said, "Dr. Feng, please eat a few more pieces."
I waved my hand and said, "I can't eat anymore. I have to accompany guests in the evening. If my stomach is bloated, I won't be able to eat at night. That would be very rude."
He smiled innocently at me, and then walked me to the car.
When I was going down the mountain, I first called Kang Demao, "De Mao, do you have any plans for the evening?"
"Well... today may be a little difficult." He said hesitantly.
"Listening to you talking like this means that you can still make flexible arrangements, right?" I said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, how about it? Come and sit down?"
He said: "One of the deputy directors below invited me to dinner tonight. Feng Xiao, I have already agreed, what do you think about us changing the time?"
So I said, "Then it's up to you. But I have to tell you, Sister Lin asked you to participate tonight."
He said: "Feng Xiao, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you make it clear at the beginning? How embarrassing are you doing this to me? We are old classmates and old friends. You tell me, what would it be like if I didn't come?
Want to be criticized by Secretary-General Lin? If I come, you will think that I am not interesting enough, and you will think that you can’t get me. Feng Xiao, please don’t do this in the future, okay? You will make it difficult for me.
.”
I immediately felt that I had gone too far and was too suspicious, so I hurriedly apologized to him, "De Mao, I was just joking with you, I didn't have any other thoughts at all."
"That's pretty much it. You guy! Tell me, where are you at night? What time is it?" He smiled.
I said: "It's right opposite our hospital. Come over when you get off work."
"How do you find a place like that? The quality there doesn't seem to be high enough?" he asked.
I smiled and said, "That's my restaurant. Do you understand?"
"Ah? You guys! When did you open a restaurant? Why didn't you tell me?" he asked in surprise.
"I just received it. Well, I won't explain it to you now. I have to make a call. Just on time." I said and hung up the phone immediately. I knew that as soon as I talked to him, he would
It will be endless.
However, I think he must be curious now, and he will rush to the restaurant as soon as possible.
Then he called Lin Yi, "Uncle Lin, Sister Lin is going to invite President Chang to dinner at my restaurant tonight. She said she hopes you can come to attend."
"Oh? Did she really say that?" he asked me.
I was stunned, and then said after a moment: "That's it. Originally, Sister Lin said she wanted to invite President Chang to dinner. She said she hoped I could attend, and asked me to find a few more people to join us. I asked her if she could
Fuck you, and Kang Demao. She said yes. That's how it goes."
After I finished speaking, I found that my hand holding the phone was sweating. To be honest, it was really difficult for me to lie in front of him. (To be continued)
