Since there was still business to do, the two of them did not dare to drink too much. When they were about half drunk, both parties stopped. Then in a quite harmonious atmosphere, they ended the night of drinking and talking, and the two of them walked in happily.
study.
Lao Hu's study room has a strong atmosphere of elegance, and the room is filled with various cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings.
"Come!"
"Have a cup of tea."
Lao Hu poured a cup of hot tea for Liu Zhongtao, and then said with a smile: "Zhong Tao... To be honest, I really envy your luck. Look at you... you have no ability, but you ended up marrying a mayor.
My wife, then I have a scientist daughter, and now I have a genius son-in-law.”
"Good guy..."
"You took advantage of everything by yourself." Lao Hu said.
After hearing what Lao Hu said,
Liu Zhongtao sighed deeply. Under his seemingly bright appearance, he was actually scarred... When he thought of his car, his watch, his house, and his tea... his heart ached.
"well..."
"Old Hu... I have troubles that I can't tell you." Liu Zhongtao sighed and said with a sad face: "Forget it... it's hard to explain in words."
"What is it that you can't explain in words?"
Lao Hu said angrily: "I'm the one who can't say anything. Look...it's not easy to meet a math genius, but he has a woman who is engaged in physics next to him."
"fine!"
"I can handle it. Look...have you met my son-in-law today?" Liu Zhongtao said with a smile: "I still have a status in the family. I am not the head of the family for nothing."
"..."
"Zhong Tao."
"I've known you for more than thirty years, right? I've known you since you first pursued Mei Fang." Lao Hu said angrily: "I still don't know the situation in your family? I can give you some words.
If others listen, don’t mention it in front of me.”
Liu Zhongtao coughed slightly with a hint of embarrassment and said seriously: "Let's stop chatting. It's time to talk about business."
Lao Hu nodded and said with a smile: "I understand..."
After saying that,
Lao Hu said seriously: "Three paintings and two porcelains, what do you think?"
Liu Zhongtao fell into silence, looking at Lao Hu in front of him without speaking. His silent behavior made Lao Hu feel a little nervous.
"Give me another pair of calligraphy treasures?" Lao Hu asked tentatively.
"that..."
"Drink tea first." Liu Zhongtao smiled, picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip gently, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh... this tea is good, isn't it a bit expensive?"
"You are getting more and more cunning." Lao Hu also picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said seriously: "It's not bad, but I can't compare to you."
Speaking of tea?
Liu Zhongtao sighed and said helplessly: "All my tea leaves... were given to Huo Huo by my son-in-law, and once they were boiled into tea eggs by my daughter? Good guy... a tea egg costs more than a thousand yuan.
It almost made me feel distressed to death."
"Well?"
"Your daughter can boil tea eggs?" Lao Hu asked in surprise.
"It's not specially cooked for me." Liu Zhongtao said angrily.
"Too."
"They have Xiao Lin? Who still remembers your father?" Lao Hu said with a smile.
moment?
The two chatted for a while, and then got down to business.
"Three paintings, two porcelains, and a pair of calligraphy? Zhong Tao...I am full of sincerity? It depends on whether you accept it or not." Old Hu said.
"this..."
"How do you answer this?"
"After all, he is my son-in-law... If I don't give you another chance, you can tell me the number again." Liu Zhongtao was not in a hurry at all now. He looked like an understatement. Then he gently picked up the tea cup and looked at Lao Hu? Continue
Said: "Lao Hu... let me remind you, seize the opportunity."
Lao Hu thought for a moment and then said: "I have a piece of jade that is quite good. Can you take a look?"
"oh?"
"Bring it here." Liu Zhongtao suddenly became interested.
soon?
Lao Hu took a jade pendant and handed it directly to Liu Zhongtao.
After taking the jade pendant, he studied it carefully and frowned, saying, "This... isn't of very good quality."
"Old Hu!"
"I came to negotiate with you sincerely, but you fooled me like this?" Liu Zhongtao said helplessly: "With you like this... it's difficult for us to continue talking."
"..."
"Okay, okay!"
"I'll get you the real thing." Lao Hu walked to a certain cabinet with a dark face, opened a certain drawer, and took out a small box. Then he returned to Liu Zhongtao and handed the small box in his hand.
He looked at him and said, "Here's the thing."
Subsequently,
Liu Zhongtao opened the box and was immediately attracted by the beautiful jade in front of him.
"good!"
"This sincerity... is almost overflowing." Liu Zhongtao collected the jade and placed it on the edge of the tea table, then asked: "Are there any more? Three paintings, two porcelains, and a pair of
Mo Bao, quickly bring it over and show it to me."
at the same time,
Xia Meifang was sitting alone in the living room, while Lao Hu's wife had gone to bed long ago.
At this time,
Xia Meifang glanced at the study and couldn't help but sigh.
Speaking of which, Uncle Hu was quite unlucky. Zhong Tao was tricked by his daughter and son-in-law. As a result...he met another enemy. Wouldn't he be tricked to death?
"well..."
"When will retribution take place?" Xia Meifang smiled bitterly. Although she didn't know how her husband asked Lin Fan to report to Uncle Hu's team, one thing is certain...if her daughter knew about it, she would probably...have to do it again.
A bloody scene unfolded.
I do not know how long it has been,
The door to the study room opened, and Xia Meifang looked around and saw Liu Zhongtao carrying various porcelains and many calligraphy and paintings into the study room with a happy smile on his face.
Look at Lao Hu again,
The expression on his face was full of resentment and melancholy, not to mention how much pain he had, because he made a miscalculation this time and lost a lot.
"Wife!"
"Help me move back together later." Liu Zhongtao said with a smile.
"..."
Xia Meifang counted four porcelains and six calligraphy and paintings in total.
wrong!
There was also a small box in his hand.
"Zhong Tao!"
"Don't forget what you promised me." Lao Hu said with a sad and angry look.
"Do not worry!"
"I'll definitely get it done for you." Liu Zhongtao said with a smile, "Then I'll leave first."
At this time,
Old Hu said: "Bring me two boxes of good wine tomorrow!"
"no problem!"
On the way back,
Liu Zhongtao still maintained that happy smile and even sang a cheerful ditty.
"Today is a good day, everything you want can come true!"
"Today is a good day. We open the door to welcome the spring breeze!"
Xia Meifang couldn't listen anymore. The singing was too unpleasant, so she said angrily: "Stop singing...it's so annoying!"
"Um."
Although Liu Zhongtao promised his wife not to sing, he still hummed the tune.
at this time,
Xia Meifang wanted to speak several times and ask her husband what to do next, but she held it back. Some things were better left unknown to avoid getting into trouble.
...
The next day,
Lin Fan came to his workplace, but as soon as his butt touched the chair, he saw a familiar face.
"Ouch!"
"Uncle Liu!" Lin Fan looked at Liu Zhongtao in surprise and said with a smile, "What a rare visitor!"
"..."
"Don't talk nonsense to me." Liu Zhongtao looked at Lin Fan and said seriously: "The reason why I came here today is because there is something I need you to do. I have been assigned a business trip task from above. Have you done this task...
Rewards, and criticism if you don’t do well.”
Damn it!
Isn’t it so special to deceive people?
Lin Fan was so angry that he said angrily: "I won't go!"
"If you don't go, why should I go?" Liu Zhongtao said angrily: "Actually, the place where the business trip takes place is not very far away. It's in the mathematics department building of the branch. You go find...Professor Hu, that's right...that's him.
, you ask him to report."
"Well..."
"Half an hour before you get off work, you have to come back on time. Even when you go to work, you have to go to the library first and then go there." Liu Zhongtao explained.
"no..."
"Your daughter has forbidden me to go to the mathematics department building. If I do something under her nose like this, will something happen?" Lin Fan asked cautiously.
Liu Zhongtao glared and asked seriously: "A grown man like you is still afraid of her?"
"..."
"Uncle... the method of stimulating generals is useless to me. If your daughter finds out, I will probably sleep on the sofa." Lin Fan sighed and said silently.
"There are travel expenses."
"Five hundred yuan a day." Liu Zhongtao said calmly: "Are you going?"
Lin Fan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Zhongtao, and said: "Uncle... Please focus on the key points later!"
The words fell,
He asked hurriedly: "Are you leaving now?"
"That's right!"
"Let's go now." Liu Zhongtao nodded: "Settlement of travel expenses at 4:30 in the afternoon."
As soon as the words fell,
Lin Fan stood up and prepared to run away.
suddenly,
Liu Zhongtao stopped Lin Fan and said word by word: "Pay attention to safety... This trip is extremely dangerous, so be careful in everything."
"Um!"
"I will!" Lin Fan nodded.
At this time,
Lao Hu was sitting in the office. When he thought about being moved by Liu Zhongtao last night, a desolate feeling suddenly swept through his heart.
"I don't know... whether this guy Zhong Tao is reliable or not." Lao Hu was particularly worried now, fearing that his efforts would be in vain.
I do not know how long it has been,
Sudden,
There was a knock on the office door, which made Lao Hu nervous.
is it him?
Could it be him?
"Please come in!" Old Hu shouted.
for a moment,
The office door was opened, and then the figure that Old Hu couldn't forget appeared.
"Xiao Lin!"
"congratulations!"
"Finally found my own future!" Lao Hu said with a smile.
"..."
"ah?"
"I...I just..." Before Lin Fan could finish speaking, he was stopped by Lao Hu.
Lao Hu said seriously: "It's useless to talk more...I'll take you to visit my laboratory!"
no...
Why does it feel like something is wrong?
At this time, Lin Fan's face was full of doubts, and he looked at Lao Hu, who was slightly excited.
