Chapter 68: The Pitcher Game
When he found a place to sit down and chat with Yi Xiaoyi, Liu Bo found that although Yi Xiaoyi has a very gentle and lovely personality, he is not ignorant, and many things are even deeper than what he sees.
In her eyes, Liu Bo looks younger than herself, and she subconsciously regarded Liu Bo as a part-time college student, but after getting acquainted with it, she found that Liu Bo did not have a childish feeling, and he had the same concept as himself in many places, and his good impression of Liu Bo increased a lot.
After what happened to Ba Hongtu just now, there was no one who didn't open his eyes to provoke Liu Bo for a while, but the hot chat with the most eye-catching girl in the audience still made Liu Bo the object of envy of many people, hoping that Yi Xiaoyi could leave Liu Bo as soon as possible, and he had a chance to start, but the more the two chatted, the more they rose, and there was no end at all, so that some people with crooked thoughts secretly dissatisfied with Liu Bo in their hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen......" Just when the relationship between Liu Bo and Yi Xiaoyi was getting deeper and deeper, Smith Wu came to the stage in the hall, clapped his hands and said in a louder voice, obviously the ceremony was about to start.
Hearing this, Liu Bo and Yi Xiaoyi invariably stopped communicating, and after glancing at each other tacitly, they looked towards Smith Wu.
It wasn't just the two of them who had this kind of behavior, after seeing that the realization was all gathered on his body and there was no sound, Smith Wu smiled gratefully at the audience.
"Today is the centennial celebration of the ......," Smith Wu continued, introducing the development history of the Intercontinental Hotel from small to large, and taking the opportunity to promote his management philosophy, which made many people yawn, but Liu Bo listened to it with relish, and had more plans for the development of his restaurant, and secretly sighed that this trip was not in vain.
"I won't say more, everyone eats and drinks well today, and there are some small activities for a while, if you are interested, you can participate. After talking for a while, Smith Wu also knew that he had said a little too much, and ended his speech with some unfinished words.
And when they heard Smith Wu's words, the drowsy and sleepy people in the audience hurriedly applauded and cheered, obviously waiting for this time.
"Wu, I have prepared a little thing as a gift, I hope you can accept it. Standing in front of him, there was a man holding a painting scroll and said to Smith Wu, his face full of pride, obviously not a small thing in his hand, otherwise he would not have said it in front of everyone.
"Oh, Shepherd's congratulatory gift, then I want to see it. Smith Wu said with a smile, when the store celebrates, such things are also common, and gifts are just to enhance the relationship between them, and he has already seen no surprises.
"This is from the painting of the saint Wu Daozi's true handiwork, I heard that you like Chinese culture very much, today as a gift, to you. Mu Shao said and unfolded the scroll.
Above is a very exquisite landscape map, antique, not ordinary at first glance.
"It's worthy of Mu Shao, such a good thing can be obtained, I'm afraid that today's Likui should be Mu Shao. After seeing the scroll, someone praised Mu Shao.
But Liu Bo pouted, saying what kind of gift it was, and he came up with this kind of nondescript thing, it was not the wind of comparison, rich people basically love face, in this regard, if they can compare with others, they will be satisfied, and if they are surpassed by others, they will be unhappy.
"I also have a congratulatory gift here, Smith Wu, please take a look. Just when Mu Shao was smug, someone stood up and said, it was Liu Sheng, holding a jade carving in the shape of a phoenix in his hand.
"Could this be the work of the contemporary jade carving master - Fenglaiyi jade carving, this is something worth more than hundreds of millions, this young man, what a lot of energy." Someone said in surprise.
"That's right, it's exactly what Mr. Smith Wu said, I have benefited a lot from Mr. Smith Wu's speech just now, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Smith Wu. Liu Sheng said with a humble smile on his face, he had investigated Smith Wu before, and he also knew that there was cooperation between Smith Wu and Liu Bo, and the purpose of giving such a big gift was to get the other party to support him, money was not important to him, as long as he could recruit Smith Wu to his side, Liu Bo would be equivalent to breaking his arm.
"Liars. Liu Bo said disdainfully, just now he saw Liu Sheng's impatient look, saying that he benefited a lot, it was obviously nonsense, deliberately flattering Smith Wu, but now Liu Bo doesn't know who this person who was complained about by himself is, otherwise, I'm afraid he can guess the other party's thoughts.
After all, this kind of thing is basically just to express some thoughts, if the value is too high, it is inappropriate, and compared to the value of Liu Sheng's gift, no one can surpass it, and naturally it will not come out to be embarrassed.
Many people who were affected by Liu Sheng looked at Liu Sheng's eyes a little wrong, obviously feeling that they had no chance to play, but Liu Sheng didn't care very much, now the small dissatisfaction always has a chance to be solved, being able to kill Liu Bo and inherit all the property is the most critical thing for Liu Sheng now, so everything he has done is worth it.
"I love all the gifts you give, especially the jade carvings. After letting people collect the congratulatory gifts, Smith Wu said with a smile, looking at Liu Sheng's eyes, but with a hint of vigilance, because the value of this gift is really too high, so high that he can't help but worry about what the other party will have crooked thoughts, but the control is excellent, and no one can find out.
And Liu Bo is not familiar with this kind of rule, so he didn't send anything, after thinking of Smith Wu's character, Liu Bo didn't care, and when he had the opportunity to make up one for Smith Wu, and Yi Xiaoyi was very simple, he opened a bank at home, so he sent money directly, which made Liu Bo a little embarrassed, and secretly said that he also wanted to get a store celebration.
But then he let go of this thought, with his current network, I am afraid that most of the people who come are enemies, and it will be a good thing not to cause trouble for myself when the time comes, as for congratulatory gifts or something, it is even more fantastical.
And after Smith Wu finished his speech, it was time for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Unlike when it opened, the ribbon-cutting was much simpler, just a passing motion, and at the same time, Smith Wu announced that all the hotels he was in charge of would have discounts a week after the celebration.
"This foreigner really likes Chinese culture. After finishing the speech, it was some programs to celebrate, and when he saw that they were all ancient Chinese operas and the like, Yi Xiaoyi listened attentively and said to Liu Bo.
As soon as Liu Bo heard it, he knew that Yi Xiaoyi was not familiar with Smith Wu, otherwise he would not have said such a thing, he knew about it from the first day he met Smith Wu, and then he popularized a lot of science about the history of Yucheng with Smith Wu, which made Smith Wu call it interesting, and he wished that he was a Chinese person.
After telling Yi Xiaoyi some interesting things about himself and Smith Wu, Yi Xiaoyi knew that Smith Wu was originally born abroad and had a good impression of him.
"You seem to have a good relationship with Smith Wu. After listening, Yi Xiaoyi looked at Liu Bo and said, with curiosity on her face, when she talked to Liu Bo before, she only knew that Liu Bo was the owner of a restaurant, and the other Liu Bo didn't say much, but now Yi Xiaoyi was a little curious, how did Liu Bo have such a good relationship with Smith Wu.
"Fate, just like you and me. Liu Bo knew what Yi Xiaoyi wanted to ask, but he didn't explain, but smiled at Yi Xiaoyi and said.
"That's right, the show is over, there seems to be an event over there, let's go over and have a look. Yi Xiaoyi was very satisfied with Liu Bo's statement, and after subconsciously approaching Liu Bo, he asked Liu Bo, obviously wanting Liu Bo to call the shots.
"Good. Talking all the time, Liu Bo also felt a little tired, and after agreeing with a smile, he took Yi Xiaoyi, who was following him, to a place where many people had gathered.
"It turned out to be a pitcher. After seeing what everyone was playing, Liu Bo said with a smile, with a look of understanding on his face.
Throwing the pot, is an entertainment activity in ancient China, that is, throwing the arrow into the pot at a certain distance by hand, but for the sake of safety, Smith Wu is very humane to cancel the arrow, but this also makes the original game more difficult, after all, the design of the arrow is to make the flight of the arrow smoother.
And the direct consequence of this is that there are very few people in the audience who can throw arrows into the pot, and until now, there are only two or three scattered arrows in the pot, and the people who throw them are only relying on luck, and they have not been able to hit again.
"I'll try it too. Yi Xiaoyi obviously knew how to play the game, and after asking the person in charge of managing the game for a few arrows, he stood at the red line, and after aiming at it for a long time, he threw it at the pot.
It's just that the result obviously exceeded her expectations, and not only did the arrow not enter the pot, but it even had a long distance.
"Come again. When Liu Bo came to Yi Xiaoyi's side, he happened to hear Yi Xiaoyi's unconvinced voice, with a chuckle on his face, just looking at Yi Xiaoyi's current posture, Liu Bo was already able to guess the landing point of the arrow, shook his head, and did not speak.
When the experiment was carried out again, the arrow branch fell on a point that Liu Bo had been looking at according to the parabola that Liu Bo had already calculated in his heart, and the score was exactly right.
"You're aiming the wrong way. Liu Bo stopped Yi Xiaoyi's movements when Yi Xiaoyi was about to continue throwing a branch, and said in Yi Xiaoyi's puzzled eyes.
