When I went up to the second floor, I found that it was really a strong tone of the old Shanghai thirties, from the walls to the ground, from the photos to the murals, from the tables and chairs to the furnishings, all of them were in the style of the old Shanghai Tang. Boss Xia and his wife have arrived a long time ago, and the noon in Chinatown itself is colder than the evening, and this kind of high-end restaurant in old Shanghai in Thailand is not very popular, so although it is a meal now, no one eats at noon, just like a chartered venue. It's all four-person tables here, and Boss Xia and his wife sit next to each other, so I had to sit down facing Boss Xia.

Boss Xia is about forty years old, his temperament looks very elegant, and the two of them are also dressed appropriately, although they can't see that they are the kind of nouveau riche, but they know that they are rich people at a glance. I like to pay attention to watches, and when I saw Boss Xia wearing a simple belt Vacheron Constantin, I was immediately in awe. This brand is much more expensive than Rolex, and I have long heard that the real rich people wear belts and watches, and only people like me, who are not even nouveau riche, like labor from the bottom of their bones.

Mrs. Xia looks good, but she looks very bad, her face is relatively pale, and she seems to have not woken up. The Thai waitress in a satin cheongsam soaked in the pot of Longjing first, and under my humility, Boss Xia ordered a few dishes and then started chatting. He said: "I haven't been to Mr. Feng's Buddhist brand shop in Beijing, but I've heard about it for a long time. Many friends have asked him for a Buddhist card, and there is an old Chen who runs a restaurant, his wife has a fetus, and then has been sick and bad, and always dreams that the child is looking for her to ask for his life, and then you also helped Lao Chen find a master from Thailand, and after doing the super dharma, he will be fine. ”

"Old Chen ......, who runs a restaurant in Beijing," I thought about it and suddenly said, "Oh, isn't it Boss Chen who opened a hot pot restaurant in Dongsi?

Boss Xia smiled: "That's right, it's that Lao Chen, Mr. Feng and I both know him, but to be honest, even if that's the case, I don't believe in ghosts and gods." Now there is no way to rush to the doctor, do we count?" he looked at his wife. Mrs. Xia didn't seem to be in the mood to chat, so she only exhaled lightly and didn't answer.

After the food comes up, I eat first, I only eat snacks when I play in Shanghai, I will not go into any high-end big restaurant, because there is no need, what kind of scene is filled by a person? But after eating this food, I realized that Shanghai cuisine was not what I understood, only soup dumplings, wonton, Yangchun noodles and white chicken, and many exquisite and delicious dishes. Especially the drunken crab and salty roasted white, I have never eaten it before. The Shanghainese recipe paired with the seafood of Thailand is truly unbeatable.

While eating and chatting, Boss Xia didn't hide it from me, and told me the whole situation of their family. This Boss Xia is not a native of Shanghai, but from Zhangjiakou, who came to Shanghai more than ten years ago, first doing odd jobs in Shanghai Film Studio, either doing drama or lighting. After getting used to making movies, he told a story to the assistant director one time, and the two hit it off, and the assistant director found a screenwriter to write the book, and the response was very good after the project was established. Since then, Boss Xia has entered the film and television industry, from screenwriter to director, to producer, what is popular and what is filmed, and he has made seven or eight sitcoms alone for a while, making a lot of money.

I thought to myself, Mr. Feng said that he had made a lot of black money, and it is estimated that he either dragged the actors' salaries, or used the way of painting big cakes to let the actors be cheap labor, and then he was hiding the budget.

Boss Xia continued: "We have a son, if he were still alive, he would be in the sixth grade of primary school by now. More than two years ago, he was playing with his classmates in teaching, and was squeezed off the fifth floor by a prank, and he died on the spot. After grieving, I discussed with my wife, although she is forty-three years old, but now that medicine is developed, there should still be a chance to get pregnant, but I don't know why, how can I not get pregnant. He looked at his wife, "I went to the hospital several times for examination, and there was nothing wrong with either of us, but it just didn't work." ”

Mrs. Xia looked a little embarrassed, and I hurriedly said that even if I can't conceive naturally, isn't the technology of artificial insemination and IVF very mature now. Boss Xia said: "The problem is here! First, the artificial insemination has failed six times, so let's just test tube baby." This has a very high success rate, but are you not wonderful? I did it once in Beijing and was promoted, and I did it twice in Guangzhou, but I couldn't get into bed. We simply went to Thailand to do it, maybe the follicles were too ripe, and there were triplets, we felt too much, not that we couldn't afford to raise them, but that our husband and wife were too busy with business and didn't have enough energy to take care of them, so we discussed with the doctor to reduce the fetus. Said that the success rate is only fifty percent, start to subtract two and leave one, but the rest of the one did not succeed, rest for a few days and then do the second time, or triplets, this time reduce one to leave twins, I didn't expect it to be completely destroyed. The third time, I only put one, and it was successful, and I was pregnant for two months after being implanted back into my wife's body, but I didn't expect to have a direct miscarriage. The doctor advised us to try again in half a year, otherwise the woman's body would not be able to stand it and there would be too many ovoviduct injections. ”

"Once in Beijing, twice in Guangzhou, and three ......times in Thailand," I counted with my hands, "Six times in total?" Boss Xia said isn't it, six times IVF has prompted dozens of follicles, and women can only make twelve follicles a year, but in less than two years, she has wasted six or seven years of follicles. Now I am forty-five years old, and my physical condition is getting worse and worse because of people giving and test-tubes, taking medicine and injections to induce eggs. In another half a year, if the physical condition does not allow it, the test tube may not be played.

Mrs. Xia put down her chopsticks and said faintly: "If you want to have children, those people can't afford to raise children, but they have to beat them, it's really unfair!" Obviously, she was referring to Boss Chen, who opened a hot pot restaurant.

I said, "If I'm not mistaken, the old mother of the bald boss Chen has to hold her grandson, not her granddaughter, otherwise he can't force his wife to have a baby." "Mrs. Xia said yes, but what can I do, after doing the rituals, Lao Chen's wife is cured, but she is pregnant with a girl, Lao Chen's mother still wants her daughter-in-law to have an abortion, and it is useless for both of them to kneel down to the old lady, so they still beat it.

This made me very surprised, that business was already last year, I didn't expect that Boss Chen's mother to be so feudal. Boss Xia said angrily: "That time I happened to go to Beijing on an errand, and by the way, I went to Lao Chen's house as a guest, and I saw his mother quarreling with her daughter-in-law, saying that she was not well-intentioned and wanted the Chen family to be the queen, and the words were ugly. Even I couldn't listen to it, so I persuaded a few words, but I didn't expect the old lady to quarrel with me, and then we broke up unhappily, and I left. I smiled and said that I have also encountered this kind of customer, and the older generation in China now came from before the liberation, and their thinking is rigid.
