Since there was still business, the two of them didn't dare to drink too much, and when they were about five points drunk, both sides stopped, and then in a rather harmonious atmosphere, they ended tonight's wine and talk, and the two of them walked into the study happily.

Lao Hu's study has a strong and elegant atmosphere, and all kinds of literary toys, calligraphy and paintings are placed in the room.

"Come!"

"Have a cup of tea. ”

Lao Hu poured Liu Zhongtao a cup of hot tea, and then said with a smile: "Zhong Tao... To tell you the truth, I really envy your luck, look at you... I didn't have any skills, but I ended up marrying a mayor's wife, then a scientist's daughter, and now I have a genius son-in-law. ”

"Good guys..."

"You're taking advantage of it all by yourself. Lao Hu said.

Hearing Lao Hu's words,

Liu Zhongtao sighed deeply, under the seemingly glamorous appearance, he was actually scarred... When I think of my car, my watch, my house, my own tea... And there was a dull ache in my heart.

"Ugh..."

"Old Hu... I can't say it's bitter. Liu Zhongtao sighed and said with a sad face: "Forget it... It's hard to put into words. ”

"What do you have that you can't put into words. ”

Lao Hu said angrily: "I'm the one who can't say anything, look at it... I finally met a math genius, and it turned out that there was a woman who was engaged in physics next to him. ”

"It's fine!"

"I can handle it, you see... Did you see my son-in-law today?" Liu Zhongtao said with a smile: "I still have a position in the family, and the head of the family did not come for nothing. ”

“...”

"Zhong Tao. ”

"I've known you for more than thirty years, haven't I? I knew you when you first pursued Mei Fang. Lao Hu said angrily: "I don't know the situation in your family yet? There are some things you can say to others, don't mention them in front of me." ”

Liu Zhongtao coughed lightly a few times with a little embarrassment, and said seriously: "Don't be idle, it's time to talk about business." ”

Lao Hu nodded and said with a smile: "I understand..."

After that,

Lao Hu said seriously: "Three paintings, two porcelain, what do you think?"

Liu Zhongtao fell into silence, looked at Lao Hu in front of him, and did not speak, and his silent behavior made Lao Hu feel a little furious.

"Give me another pair of ink treasures?" asked Lao Hu tentatively.

"That..."

"Drink tea first. Liu Zhongtao smiled, picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip gently, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and said, "Oops... This tea is good, but the price is a bit expensive, right?"

"Your mouth is getting more and more tricky. "Lao Hu also picked up the teacup? A gentle sip? Said seriously: "It's okay, it's not as good as yours." ”

Speaking of tea?

Liu Zhongtao sighed? Said helplessly: "Those tea leaves of mine... All of them were given to Huo Huo by my son-in-law, and once they were boiled into tea eggs by my daughter? Boy... There are more than 1,000 tea eggs in one tea, which almost didn't hurt me to death. ”

"Huh?"

"Your daughter knows how to boil tea eggs?" asked the old man in surprise.

"It's not cooked for me. Liu Zhongtao said angrily.

"Yes. ”

"People have Kobayashi? Who 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 porcelain, and a pair of inks? Zhong Tao... Am I full of sincerity? It's up to you to pick it up or not. Lao Hu said.

"This..."

"How do you pick this up?"

"It's my son-in-law, after all... If you don't give you another chance, you re-count. Liu Zhongtao was not in a hurry at all now, he looked like an understatement, and then gently picked up the teacup and looked at Lao Hu? continued: "Old Hu... I remind you to seize the opportunity. ”

Lao Hu thinks for a moment? Then he said, "I have a piece of jade that is very good, can you take a look?"

"Oh?"

"Bring it. Liu Zhongtao suddenly became interested.

Soon?

Lao Hu took a piece of jade pendant and handed it directly to Liu Zhongtao.

After taking the jade pendant? Studied it carefully? Can't help frowning? said: "This... The condition is not very good. ”

"Old Hu!"

"I came to negotiate with you with sincerity, but you fooled me so much?" Liu Zhongtao said helplessly: "You are like this... It's hard for us to talk any more. ”

“...”

"Okay, okay!"

"I'm going to get the real guy for you. Lao Hu walked to a certain cabinet with a dark face, opened a drawer, took out a small box from it, and then returned to Liu Zhongtao, handed him the small box in his hand, and said, "The thing is here." ”

subsequently

Liu Zhongtao opened the box and was immediately attracted by the beautiful jade in front of him.

"Not bad!"

"This sincerity... It's all overflowing. Liu Zhongtao put away the piece of jade, put it on the edge of the tea table, and then asked, "Do you have any more?" Three paintings, two porcelain, and a pair of ink treasures, quickly bring them to me and show them." ”

meanwhile

Xia Meifang sat alone in the living room, while Lao Hu's wife had already gone to sleep.

Then

Xia Meifang glanced at the study and couldn't help sighing.

Speaking of Uncle Hu, he was unlucky enough, Zhong Tao was miserable by his daughter and son-in-law, but at this time... Let him meet another wronged boss, isn't this a pit to death?

"Ugh..."

"When is the time for retribution? Xia Meifang smiled bitterly, although she didn't know how her husband asked Lin Fan to report to Uncle Hu's team, but one thing was certain... If my daughter knows, I guess... It's going to be a bloody scene again.

I don't know how long it took,

The door of the study opened, Xia Meifang looked around, and saw Liu Zhongtao going to the study, carrying all kinds of porcelain, as well as a lot of calligraphy and paintings, with a happy smile on his face.

Look at Lao Hu again,

The expression full of resentment and melancholy on his face, not to mention how much pain he had, because he miscalculated this time and lost a little too much.

"Wife!"

"Wait a minute, help me move back in. Liu Zhongtao said with a smile.

“...”

Xia Meifang counted it, a total of four porcelain, six pairs of calligraphy and paintings.

Wrong!

Also holding a small box in his hand.

"Zhong Tao!"

"Don't forget what you promised me. Lao Hu said with a sad face.

"Don't worry!"

"I'm sure I'll do it for you. Liu Zhongtao said with a smile: "Then I'll go first." ”

Then

Lao Hu said: "Give me two cases of good wine tomorrow!"

"No problem!"

On the way back,

Liu Zhongtao still maintained that happy smile, and even sang a cheerful song.

"Today is a good day, everything you want can come true!"

"Today is a good day, open the door and welcome the spring breeze!"

Xia Meifang couldn't listen to it anymore, she sang too badly, and said angrily: "Stop singing... I'm sick of it!"

"Hmm. ”

Although Liu Zhongtao promised his wife not to sing, he still hummed the tune.

At this point,

Xia Meifang wanted to open her mouth several times and asked her husband what to do next, but she couldn't help it, and some things were still not known, so as not to get into trouble.

...

Following

Lin Fan came to his work unit, but as soon as his butt touched the chair, he saw a familiar face.

"Oops!"

"Uncle Liu!" Lin Fan looked at Liu Zhongtao in surprise and said with a smile: "Rare guest!"

“...”

"Don't give me a poor mouth. 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, and I have given you a business trip, this task... There is no reward for doing a good job, and if you don't do well, you will be criticized. ”

it!

Isn't it a pit person who is so special?

Lin Fan was so angry that he said angrily: "I won't go!"

"If you don't go, will I go?" Liu Zhongtao said angrily: "Actually, the location of the business trip is not very far, it is in the mathematics department building of the branch, you go to find... Professor Hu, that's right... It's him, you ask him to report. ”

"Uh..."

"Half an hour before work, you have to come back on time, including when you go to work, you have to go to the library first, and then go there. Liu Zhongtao explained.

"It's not..."

"Your daughter has explicitly forbidden me to go to the mathematics department building, will something happen if I do something under her nose like this?" Lin Fan asked cautiously.

Liu Zhongtao glared at him and asked solemnly, "Are you still afraid of her as a big man?"

“...”

"Uncle... It's useless for me, and if your daughter knows about it, I'll probably have to sleep on the couch. Lin Fan sighed and said silently.

"There are travel expenses. ”

"Five hundred dollars a day. Liu Zhongtao said indifferently: "Do you want to go?"

Lin Fan was silent for a moment, raised his head sharply to look at Liu Zhongtao, and said, "Uncle... Please focus on it later!"

Words fall,

Hurriedly asked, "Do you want to leave now?"

"That's right!"

"Let's go. Liu Zhongtao nodded: "Settle the travel expenses at half past four in the afternoon." ”

As soon as the voice fell,

Lin Fan stood up, ready to run away.

suddenly

Liu Zhongtao stopped Lin Fan and said word by word: "Pay attention to safety... This trip is extremely dangerous, and everything needs to be cautious. ”

"Hmm!"

"I will!" Lin Fan nodded.

Then

Lao Hu was sitting in the office, and when he thought of being moved by Liu Zhongtao last night, he suddenly had a bleak feeling in his heart.

"I don't know... Zhong Tao is unreliable. Lao Hu is very worried now, for fear that the bamboo basket will be empty.

I don't know how long it took,

suddenly

There was a knock on the office door, which made Lao Hu's mood tense.

Is that him?

Could it be him?

"Please come in!" shouted the old man.

In a moment,

The office door was opened, and then the figure that Lao Hu never forgot appeared.

"Kobayashi!"

"Congratulations!"

"Finally found a future of your own!" said Lao Hu with a smile.

“...”

"Huh?"

"I... I'm just..."Lin Fan hadn't finished speaking, but was stopped by Lao Hu.

Lao Hu said seriously: "It's useless to talk more... I'll take you on a tour of my lab!"

No...

How does it feel a little wrong?

At this time, Lin Fan's face was full of doubts, looking at Lao Hu, who was slightly excited.

I...

Am I being sold by my father-in-law?

......
