Volume 1 1998 Chapter 14 Encounter with a nobleman
"Xiao Yuan, you showed Uncle Pang a clear way, the third uncle hasn't fallen here. ”
Guo Xiaobao saw that the topic of supermarkets had come to an end, and hurriedly said.
Li Yuan really doesn't have much insight into the long-distance passenger transport industry, but long-distance passenger transport also belongs to the service industry, and many things go to the same end, but he can also say a few words.
Guo Xiaobao listened to Li Yuan's suggestions on improving service quality, felt that he had benefited a lot, and was chatting energetically, when his wife suddenly came over and said: "Old Guo, what time is it, you go and ask, why don't you serve the food?"
Guo Xiaobao rolled up his sleeves and looked at the table below, only to find that more than an hour had passed unconsciously, and then looked at the table, except for two or three cold dishes, there was not a single hot dish.
"How!"
Guo Xiaobao scolded and stood up, "I'll ask what's going on!"
Pang Jianguo was about to get up, but Li Yuan held him down and said, "I'll go with the third uncle, just go out to take a breath." ”
……
After leaving the box and coming to the service desk in the lobby, the girl at the service desk looked dazed, Guo Xiaobao was even more annoyed, and scolded a few words with her head and face, and asked her to call the manager.
"Third uncle, dissipate your gas, is there any smoke?"
Guo Xiaobao took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Yuan, helped him light it, and lit one himself, and the two stood in front of the service desk and swallowed the clouds.
Guo Xiaobao felt that he had lost face, with a cigarette in his mouth, he scolded himself, and Li Yuanyuan persuaded: "I only waited for an hour, but it's not slow." ”
"Isn't this called slow?" Guo Xiaobao asked rhetorically.
Li Yuan said with a smile: "I have a classmate, his father also drives, but he drives a truck, once drove to the Northeast, he was hungry on the road, he found a restaurant casually, thinking that he was alone, and he couldn't eat much, so he ordered a dish casually and began to wait." ”
When Li Yuan said this, he stopped and took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "As a result, how long do you guess he waited?"
"How long?" asked Guo Xiaobao.
Li Yuan stretched out three fingers.
"Three hours?"
"Three years. ”
"Clean nonsense!" Guo Xiaobao scolded with a smile: "After waiting for three years, people will starve to death, and which restaurant will make a dish for three years?"
"Listen to me. Li Yuan held a cigarette and said seriously, "My classmate and his father are also good-tempered, so he just waited, the left couldn't wait, the right couldn't wait, so he waited for three years, and finally couldn't wait anymore, so he called the boss." ”
"And then?" Guo Xiaobao knew that Li Yuan was talking nonsense, but he still couldn't help asking.
"He asked the boss, why hasn't the food I ordered been served yet?!"
Li Yuan said aggressively, pretended to be aggrieved, and said: "The boss said that I don't want to either, the dish you ordered is not very easy to make." ”
"What's so hard to cook?"
"My classmate's father also asked so, and the boss pointed to the menu and told him, you ordered stewed pheasant with mountain ginseng......
Guo Xiaobao thought he had guessed the result: "There is no wild ginseng in the store?"
Li Yuan shook his head and said, "He also asked so, and the boss said yes." He asked again, "There are no pheasants?" His dad was on fire and slapped the table, 'Since they all have it, why haven't they been done yet?' Guess what the boss said?"
Guo Xiaobao shook his head, he really couldn't guess.
"The boss said that there were wild ginseng and pheasants, but as soon as the chickens were slaughtered, the police took the cook away, saying that he had killed the second-class protected animals. The boss said, why don't you wait a little longer, two years at most, and wait for the cook to release it, and make it for you immediately!"
Li Yuan and Guo Xiaobao did not avoid others when they spoke, there were a lot of casual customers in the lobby, and many people were attracted by Li Yuan's emotional story, and they heard it until the end, but they didn't expect it to be such a result, and they immediately burst into laughter.
Guo Xiaobao also leaned back with a smile, patted Li Yuan on the shoulder and said: "I'm convinced, your kid will go to talk about cross talk in the future, and he will have a future better than others!"
Someone in the lobby coaxed Li Yuan to come again, Li Yuan kept talking, if he continued to talk, these people wouldn't want to eat well.
In the midst of the laughter, there was a silver bell-like laughter that was particularly familiar.
Li Yuan looked over and found that it was actually Xu Xiaowen.
……
Xu Xiaowen heard the familiar voice before, and recognized that it was Li Yuan who spoke, and her eyes suddenly became a little evasive.
Xu Xiaowen's father, Xu Bin, noticed it and asked her, "Do you know him?"
Xu Xiaowen replied, "Classmates." ”
Xu Bin thought for a moment and beckoned to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan didn't know what Xu Bin was looking for him, so he obediently walked over, after all, this was his father-in-law, and he always had to give enough face.
"Teacher Xu. ”
Li Yuan bowed slightly in respect.
"It's you. ”
Xu Bin didn't see it clearly just now, but only then did he recognize him and felt a little surprised. smiled and said to the middle-aged man sitting across from him: "Lao Guan, this is the kid I mentioned to you in the afternoon, if you can't find an opponent, you can find him." ”
"Oh?" the middle-aged man looked Li Yuan up and down.
"Mr. Guan. Li Yuan smiled and nodded at the man, also looking at him. This person is dressed in a straight tunic suit, his face is thin and long, his eye sockets are very deep, and his eyes are sharp and spicy, as if he can see through people's hearts.
"Mr. Guan also likes to play chess?"
"Hmm. ”
The man surnamed Guan said very little, just responded, Li Yuan would not be bored, and Xu Bin had a brief chat, and when he heard Guo Xiaobao call him, he said goodbye and left.
……
"His name is Li Yuan?" Xu Bin asked his daughter.
"You don't know what his name is?"
Xu Xiaowen felt strange, the two looked quite familiar, how could Dad not know his name?
"I often played chess in the garden and never asked his name. ”
Xu Bin answered his daughter's doubts. He is such a person, with an indifferent personality and usually does not talk much.
"Oh. Xu Xiaowen lowered her eyebrows, thinking that Li Yuan must know that Xu Bin is her father, playing chess or something, she must have other intentions.
Xu Xiaowen did not wronged Li Yuan, since he was in junior high school, he went to the garden to play chess with Xu Bin every now and then, isn't it just to save the country and leave a good impression in advance. It's a pity that Li Yuan has exhausted all his organs, but he has never been able to muster up the courage to confess to Xu Xiaowen, and all his thoughts have turned into useless work.
"Li Yuan, Li Yuan......"
Xu Bin muttered Li Yuan's name, patted his head, and asked, "I remember that he was the fourth place in your class in this exam?"
"Hmm. ”
"Is his father's name Li Zhenhai?" Xu Xiaowen's mother, Fang Xuemin, suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Xu Xiaowen looked dazed.
"I remember when you started school, you said that a classmate was hospitalized, isn't he?" Fang Xuemin asked.
"Hmm. Xu Xiaowen nodded.
"You're not allowed to associate with him in the future, you know!"
Fang Xuemin told his daughter solemnly, and babbled about what happened in the Li family.
"Is that him?" Xu Bin was very surprised, "This kid looks quite honest." ”
"Honest people go crazy to kill people. Fang Xuemin said angrily, "You will not go to the garden to play chess in the future, what if someone cuts it with a knife." ”
Xu Bin has a gentle temperament, does not argue with his wife, and says yes, but he doesn't think so in his heart.
Fang Xuemin sensed that his words were insincere and shifted the target.
"Lao Guan, you can also tell him about him, such a big person, and he still looks like a child. ”
"Ahh......h
"Lao Guan, what do you want?" asked Xu Bin.
Guan Xuedao came back to his senses, his brows furrowed, and said: "That kid has a strange face, he can't figure it out for a while, don't say this, you don't believe it." ”
"You're also an intellectual, how can you still believe this. ”
Xu Bin shook his head helplessly, Lao Guan is a person with knowledge and bearing, but sometimes he talks with a godly voice.
"It's just a home study, and I can't do it accurately. Guan Xuedao didn't argue with Xu Bin, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Isn't fortune-telling a feudal superstition?" Xu Xiaowen couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, fortune telling is deceiving, but looking at physiognomy is a science, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than looking at people and knowing people. It is said that people live with a face, this person, happy will laugh, sad will cry, temperament and thoughts can be written on the face. ”
"If you really know how to look at people, you will be driven out of the capital by people?"
Fang Xuemin was straightforward, and after speaking, she saw her husband glaring at her, and then she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she couldn't speak.
Guan Xuedao waved his hand indifferently, and said with emotion: "My brother and sister are right, I pride myself on being able to see people, but in the end, it's not bad for the villain......"
Xu Bin said: "You are too clear and high, and you refuse to go along with it." ”
Guan Xuedao smiled: "Aren't you too?" Good deputy factory director, just resign, others say that you are timid and afraid of things, I think you would rather bend than bend." ”
"Okay, the two big men are still flattering each other. Fang Xuemin said angrily, and said to Xu Xiaowen: "Don't you want to learn from your father in the future, what does you say all day long' is 'out of the mud without staining', you have fallen into the muddy pond, and your body can be clean?"
Driven by the unique gossip psychology of women, Fang Xuemin asked curiously: "Lao Guan, you can look at the face, how about you look at my daughter?"
"Do you really want me to say?" Guan Xuedao seemed to smile, "I don't like what I say, otherwise I wouldn't have folded it in the hands of the villain." ”
"If you want you to say it, you can say it, can your sister-in-law still be angry with you?"
"Okay, then I'll say it. ”
Guan Xuedao looked at Xu Xiaowen carefully, tapped his slender fingers on the table, and said, "Zhong Lingyuxiu, fate is uncertain." ”
As soon as Guan Xuedao's words fell, Fang Xuemin's face sank. It's not angry to say yes, but who doesn't like to listen to good words? What's more, Guan Xuedao's sentence is too vicious, how can anyone say that people's fate is bumpy?
"I'm not done yet. ”
Guan Xuedao didn't see Fang Xuemin's face, and said unhurriedly: "There is still a second half of this sentence, 'You have to meet nobles, and turn evil into good fortune'." ”
It's like a human saying.
Fang Xuemin's face looked much better, and he said with a forced smile: "Lao Guan, didn't this noble person mean yourself?"
Guan Xuedao laughed at himself: "I am a down-and-out wild ghost, how can I be considered a nobleman." ”
"Look at what you said, no matter how down-and-out you are, you are also the deputy mayor, you and Lao Xu are college classmates, a little mention of him, isn't he a noble person in our family. Fang Xuemin seized the opportunity, that is, he praised Guan Xuedao, and revealed the intention, and stopped at the point, and the water did not leak, which shows that this woman does not only understand the shortcomings of parents.
Guan Xuedao heard the song and asked Xu Bin: "I have just arrived, and there is a lack of people around me to guide me, do you want to be a secretary for me?"
Xu Bin is not strong in utilitarianism, so he invited Guan Xuedao to dinner, just to catch the wind and wash the dust for his old classmates, but he didn't expect the topic to be led to him by his wife, so he even said it and thought about it again.
"What else do you want. Fang Xuemin glared at him, and said to Guan Xuedao with a smile: "My old Xu is looking ahead and looking backwards, if he doesn't agree, or will I go to be your secretary?"
Guan Xuedao laughed and said: "If Lao Xu doesn't mind what others say, I naturally don't care." ”
Xu Bin was stopped by the two of them, so he had to smile bitterly: "Then I might as well be respectful." ”
Fang Xuemin's goal was achieved, and he became more and more enthusiastic, and the topic unconsciously turned to Xu Xiaowen.
His daughter has fully inherited the advantages of the couple, she is beautiful and smart, and Fang Xuemin has always been proud. When he first heard Guan Xuedao's evaluation, Fang Xuemin was not very happy, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what he said made sense.
The girl is beautiful, it is inevitable to provoke right and wrong, why did she hollow out her mind to seek an official for Xu Bin, not because he lost power, and there was an eyeless one who was fighting his own idea?
is still like this, not to mention her daughter, who looks better than herself, if there is no one to protect her, she will inevitably be bullied in the future.
Fang Xuemin became worried, and couldn't help asking, "Lao Guan, can you see who the noble person in my daughter's life is?"
"How old is your daughter, are you in a hurry to find her husband?" Xu Bin said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't interrupt! The noble person is not a husband, drink your tea!" Fang Xuemin ignored her husband and urged Guan Xuedao to answer quickly.
Guan Xuedao took a sip of tea, woke up his throat, and said: "I can look at my face, and I am not a magic stick, if you want to find someone, you should find the police." ”
made a joke, and said: "There are so many nobles in the world, don't say anything far away, haven't you seen one just now?"
