After work on Tuesday, the family members of the marketing staff came to meet them at the company's restaurant, where they had dinner and boarded the bus to the resort.

The staff of the marketing department are basically young people, only six or seven married people, and most of the so-called family members are boyfriends or girlfriends. There are also a dozen or so people who are single, so they call their best same-sex friends to play together. Maybe after this trip, after the single man and woman get to know each other, some people's personal problems can be solved.

The company's restaurant left a deep impression on these "family members", although it cannot be compared with those high-end business restaurants, but it is quite "tall" in the company's own canteen, which also makes the staff of the marketing department feel very faced.

For many people, a desirable job is not only about a good salary, but also about the working environment, which is why well-known companies are attractive. Gaining the recognition and envy of their other half or good friends can also greatly enhance their sense of identity with the company, which is an excellent spiritual incentive.

A total of about 60 people participated in this trip, and Lin Ruoxi dispatched two buses from Haitian Electronics to send them. Before leaving, Mo Fan told Lu Xiao again. Ji Xiaoying listened a little impatiently on the side, and said to Mo Fan, why are you so verbose, what else do you have to worry about with me?

Mo Fan thought to himself, which of the two of you takes care of whom? Lu Xiaorong takes care of you about the same!

However, with Ji Xiaoying here, there is really no need to worry that Lu Xiaorong will be bullied, and Mo Fan is more relieved about this. So he just thought about these words in his heart and didn't say them.

Sending Lu Xiaorong away, Mo Fan strolled home, passing by a convenience store and wanting to buy a bottle of water to drink, only to find that he didn't have the wallet with him. He thought that the wallet was in his pocket to take up space, and he threw it into the drawer after arriving at the company every day, and he came down after eating with Lu Xiaorong just now, and never returned to the office.

On the way back, he couldn't help but wonder how he could have lost everything, whether it was too many things, or was he absent-minded?

When he returned to the office and took the wallet, and when he went downstairs to wait for the elevator, Mo Fan saw that the elevator stopped on the upper floor, and thought, "Could it be Lin Ruoxi who left?"

After a while, the elevator door opened, and it was Lin Ruoxi inside, Mo Fan walked in and said, "Leaving so late?"

Lin Ruoxi said: "Didn't you just leave?" ”

Mo Fan said: "I'm here to pick up things, but it's not like you've been busy until now." ”

Lin Ruoxi snorted in response. Mo Fan asked her, "Have you eaten?" Lin Ruoxi hummed again. Mo Fan said: "Aren't your grandmother and uncle back, you should go back early." Lin Ruoxi still snorted.

If you change someone else in this situation, you can't help but feel a little embarrassed, how can a normal person have such a chat, it is clear that they don't want to talk to you. But Mo Fan knew that if she chatted with Lin Ruoxi, it was often like this, whether she said or not, whether she talked a lot or not, it all depended on whether she thought it was necessary. In fact, Lin Ruoxi only hummed, which did not mean that she wanted to reject people thousands of miles away, she often talked with her mother, but for those who had an average relationship, she would say more.

Lin Ruoxi and Liang Wenbo have two grandmothers, one of whom died early, and the other lives in the UK with their uncle, who arrived in Puhai last Sunday, and their uncle and family of three also came. To say that these people came specifically to participate in Lin Ruoxi's fake wedding, it is impossible, and Lin's mother can't remember them. Western countries are on vacation at this time, and they should have come to take a vacation.

Liang Wenbo went home to live in the past two days, in order to accompany his relatives from afar. Lin Ruoxi didn't seem to have changed much, she didn't even go back to eat with her family, Mo Fan felt that something really shouldn't be, so he couldn't help but order her.

Coming out of the building, Mo Fan said goodbye to Lin Ruoxi. Lin Ruoxi said: "I'll send you." Mo Fan smiled and said, "Then thank you." ”

Walking to the parking lot with Lin Ruoxi, as soon as he got into her car, Mo Fan's mobile phone rang, and he looked at the number, it was Liang Wenbo calling. When I picked up the phone, I heard Liang Wenbo say, "You shouldn't be fine at night, right?"

Mo Fan said: "How can it be okay." ”

Liang Wenbo said: "Lu Xiaorong has gone out to play, what else can you do?"

Mo Fan said: "It's rare to be quiet, and you can read with peace of mind." ”

Liang Wenbo said: "When can't you read books? Come to my house, my grandmother wants to meet you." ”

Mo Fan said, "Now, I haven't prepared anything, it's not good to go to see your grandmother empty-handed?"

Liang Wenbo said: "What is there to prepare? You just need to come over." I've got two drunkards here, so let's have a few drinks in the evening. ”

Mo Fan said, "Okay then. ”

When you visit your elders, bring a gift, not how valuable it is, with the family view of the Liang family, there are rare things that have not been seen, the important thing is the heart. But since Liang Wenbo said that it was not necessary, then forget it, besides, Mo Fan didn't know much about the preferences of the old man, and he couldn't prepare anything decent in a hurry.

Hanging up the phone, Mo Fan glanced at Lin Ruoxi and saw that she didn't react at all, as if the people and things she just said had nothing to do with her, but the car had already turned in the direction of her house. With her intelligence, even if she didn't hear what Liang Wenbo said, she could guess.

Mo Fan turned on the car radio, he wanted to listen to the news broadcast, but when he turned over the stage, he heard a song playing on the local music station, which was very elegant and beautiful, so he stopped at this frequency band.

Towards the end of the song, the radio host read a message. It turned out that this song was ordered by someone and given to his friend who was going to get married tomorrow. After reading the greetings, the host said: "Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, I believe there are still many friends who choose this time to hold a wedding, here please allow me to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I wish all friends who are about to get married a happy marriage and a happy family, and I also wish the world a lover to become a family member." ”

Hearing this episode unexpectedly, the corners of Mo Fan's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, he was going to hold a wedding tomorrow, but he was not married, presumably the host would not have expected this situation. Turning his head to look at Lin Ruoxi, he saw that she was driving intently, as if she hadn't heard anything, and thought, such a boring woman, if anyone marries her, she will not have to die of boredom in that day.

The two didn't say anything all the way. Because of some traffic jams, he stopped and walked from time to time, and the speed of travel was not fast, but Mo Fan didn't feel that time was difficult, nor did he feel embarrassed to be silent with Lin Ruoxi, so he unconsciously entered the courtyard of the Liang family.

After getting out of the car, Lin Ruoxi said, "I'll go to grandma." ”

Mo Fan understood what she meant, nodded and said, "Then I'll go with you." "As she walked into the building, up to the second floor, she met a number of people along the way, most of them holding something in their hands, and when she saw them, she stood down and nodded and saluted, and only after they had passed before continuing to move, they should be the servants of the house, among whom there were several Western faces.

In the past, when Mo Fan came, he often walked from the front of the building to the back of the building without seeing a single figure, in comparison, today it is much more lively, but it is not noisy.

Lin Ruoxi took Mo Fan into a room, and there were two people sitting on the sofa in the room, one was He Huiming, and the other was an old woman with silver sideburns, naturally Lin Ruoxi's grandmother.

Lin Ruoxi stepped forward and called her grandmother, then her aunt, and then said, "This is Mo Fan." ”

Mo Fan also saluted the two, and Grandma Liang nodded with a smile and said, "Sit down." Mo Fan saw Lin Ruoxi sit down on He Huiming's side, so he sat on the side of the Liang family's grandmother. Since the old lady specifically said that she wanted to see him, it was not good to hide too far.

Grandma Liang looked at Mo Fan carefully for a while, smiled and said, "It looks very ordinary, but it can be seen that it should be really unusual." ”

Mo Fan is very self-aware of his appearance, and others may barely be able to call him a handsome guy, but in front of everyone in the Liang family, he really can't find the slightest sense of superiority. is the old lady in front of her, her appearance and temperament are also quite good, and she doesn't know what kind of demeanor she should be when she was young. Therefore, Grandma Liang praised him when she said this, but he didn't know how to respond, so he had to laugh.

Lin Ruoxi said: "He is indeed not ordinary. There is no tone in his words, as if he were talking about the simple fact that sugar is sweet and salt is salty. However, when he said this kind of thing at this time, it was obviously with some intention of protection, and Mo Fan couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

Grandma Liang's smile became more and more cordial, and she had a family meeting with Mo Fan, asking him how his family was doing, and how his grandparents were okay. While she was talking, a young girl with a long figure walked in, with obvious East-West mixed race features, and greeted everyone after entering, and the etiquette was very thoughtful.

He Huiming said to Mo Fan: "This is the daughter of the uncle's family, you should know." ”

When Mo Fan heard this girl call everyone, he knew that it was Liang Yanqiu who made the "Moonlit Night Picture", but he never thought that she was a mixed-race child, which Liang Wenbo had never told him. It seems that Liang Yanqiu should not be as big as Liang Wenbo, and she is the little sister of their family.

Liang Yanqiu gave Mo Fan a light salute and said, "Mr. Mo Fan, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Mo Fan stood up and saluted in return, saying, "Me too." ”

He Huiming smiled and said, "There is no need to be so polite. ”

Grandma Liang said, "You should call your brother." ”

Mo Fan said, "Just call me by name." ”

Grandma Liang nodded with a smile and said, "Then feel free." ”

Liang Yanqiu smiled at Mo Fan and sat down next to Lin Ruoxi. Lin Ruoxi reached out and stroked Liang Yanqiu's head, with a smile on her face. Mo Fan thought to herself, she was quite close to this sister.

As soon as he sat down again, Liang Wenbo came in again, pointed at Mo Fan and said, "Don't tell me when you come, I'll wait for you below." ”

He Huiming raised his face and said, "Abo, you are really rude. ”

Liang Wenbo grinned, squeezed next to his grandmother and sat down, and said, "It's not an outsider, what are you polite about." ”

Grandma Liang patted Liang Wenbo twice on the back and scolded with a smile: "I still like to mess around so much." Okay, take Mo Fan to meet your uncle and them, and then you young people can play by yourself, you don't have to accompany us, so you won't be bored. ”

Liang Wenbo answered, called Mo Fan out, and said after getting outside, "You came with Lin Ruoxi?"

Mo Fan said: "Yes, I hitchhiked." ”

Liang Wenbo said: "You can really do it. ”

Mo Fan said, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Liang Wenbo said: "Our company got off work at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. ”

While talking, the two arrived outside the door of Liang Zhong's study, Liang Wenbo knocked on the door and took Mo Fan in.

There were five people sitting in the study, in addition to Liang Zhong, there were also Liang Jian and his wife and two foreign men in their fifties. Liang Jian looks more similar to Liang Zhong, his hair is gray, but he doesn't look too old. Liang Jian's wife sat next to him, the only woman in the room, and her face looked very young, perhaps less than forty-five years old, a more typical Western lady. Mo Fan could guess the identities of these two people at first sight.

The other two were Italians, one named Gabriel, the director of the Genoa Museum, and the other Joshua, a Catholic priest customarily called a priest in Chinese.

Mo Fan was introduced by Liang Zhong, and after meeting a few people, he sat down with Liang Wenbo, only to hear that these people were talking about Chinese culture and history, and they were all speaking English.

Mr. and Mrs. Liang Jian spoke very pure English, Father Joshua's accent was also very authentic, and even some of the Chinese he spoke was relatively standard, while Curator Gabriel's hair was a little lame, and a few sentences of Italian would pop up from time to time. Still, the guys had a great chat.

Liang Wenbo didn't talk much, and Mo Fan was just an audience. When he noticed that when they were chatting, they would look at him from time to time, and he smiled back, but he was a little puzzled in his heart: What do I have to see?

After staying for a short time, the two said goodbye. Mo Fan said: "Don't you love these things very much, why are you so honest today?"

Liang Wenbo said: "In front of the uncle, I won't get an axe." Didn't you say anything?"

Mo Fan said: "I just think that foreigners look at our history from a very special perspective, and some of the views are very novel, so I want to hear about it." ”

Liang Wenbo said: "When you have a chance, you can talk to my uncle, and now let's go to the bar." ”

Liang Wenbo took Mo Fan to the northwest corner of the first floor, there is a small banquet hall here, soft music is playing in the hall, and there are four people sitting at the bar, two men and two women, the men are Xu Jingshan and Zeng Li, Liang Wenbo said on the phone before he came that he had two drunkards, and Mo Fan also thought that it was these two. The women are Dong Weiwei and Song Jiaying, both of whom Mo Fan knows.

As soon as he saw Mo Fan coming in, Xu Jingshan beckoned to him and said, "The groom is here." ”

Mo Fan said helplessly: "Don't joke. ”

Xu Jingshan said with a smile: "If you don't be the groom's official, won't we have no chance to be the best man?"

Dong Weiwei also smiled and quipped: "Yes, we are also going to be the bridesmaids of Sister Axi." ”

Liang Wenbo patted Mo Fan on the shoulder and said, "You'd better find your form from now on, and don't wear a goof tomorrow!"

Mo Fan said: "What kind of gang are you wearing? It doesn't take long in all, just follow the procedure." ”

Although Mother Lin is getting better now, her energy is always not as good as ordinary people, so the wedding process is arranged very tightly, a ceremony is held at 11 o'clock at noon, and then the wedding banquet is estimated to be over in two hours at most.

Liang Wenbo was very dissatisfied, and said: "Look at your attitude? It's been so long to take a wedding photo, can people not worry? Tomorrow will definitely not be NG!"

Mo Fan couldn't stand his behavior a little, and said, "Okay, I know, don't talk about it." ”

Zeng Li poured a glass of wine, added three ice cubes to the cup, and handed it to Mo Fan. Mo Fan held this glass of amber wine, smelled a strong aroma of cedar, mixed with the taste of almonds, took a sip, but felt that the aftertaste was endless, and praised: "This wine is good!"

Liang Wenbo said proudly: "Of course it is good, this is more than 50 years old Scotch whisky, no worse than the Royal Salute 50 years old." ”

Zeng Li said: "This is the wine brought by Isabel, and you didn't get it, what is there to be proud of?"

Liang Wenbo said: "How did you get it? Besides, isn't my sister's surname Liang? Drinking our family's wine, why are you still such a stinky fart?"

Hearing that the two of them were fighting again, Mo Fan and Xu Jingshan looked at each other and smiled, lightly touched the wine glass, and regarded it as a wine accompaniment.

Scotch whisky is famous all over the world, the most famous is the Royal Salute, which is the best for 50 years with the Royal Salute, because it is a limited production, and the quantity is very small, so it is collected, and few people will open it to drink, so that it has become priceless. Just like the '82 Lafite, the market price is much higher than the value of the wine itself, which is also a hype. The difference is that the '82-year-old Lafite was later fried by drinkers, while the Royal Salute 50 was operated by the Chivas Regal Distillery itself, and the packaging was extremely luxurious, limited to 255 bottles worldwide, all of which were marketing.

Isabel is Liang Yanqiu's English name, with strong Scottish characteristics. Her mother's name is Elspeth Duaud and she is a member of the Duard family. The family is a traditional Scottish aristocracy, hereditary earls, and the family's collection of aged whisky is no worse than the royal salute.

For most Chinese people, the taste of whisky is a bit strange and not very acceptable. Some young people drink this kind of wine, and most of them drink it in nightclubs. Of course, a good whisky can't be spoiled like this, just add some ice.

A few people chatted for a while, and Liang Yanqiu also came over. Zeng Li asked her, "Why didn't Sister come?" Liang Yanqiu said, "My sister went to accompany my aunt." ”

Mo Fan always felt that in Liang Wenbo's family, the names between relatives were a bit chaotic, but according to the context, he could know who was who, maybe he would just get used to it.

After drinking two glasses of wine and staying until nine o'clock, Mo Fan took his leave. Xu Jingshan said: "Why do you go back so early? It's still early!"

Mo Fan said: "This wine is too strong, and I'm already a little confused." ”

Liang Wenbo said: "He still has big things to do tomorrow, so it's better for him to go back early and rest." Let's also rest early and don't toss too late. "Send Mo Fan to the front of the building and send a car to send him.

Usually when Mo Fan came over, he would visit Mother Lin, but this time he didn't go. Liang Wenbo and the others didn't mention it, probably Mother Lin had already rested, or there was some inconvenience.

When I returned home, I received a text message from Lu Xiaorong, saying that Ji Xiaoying sang very well. Thinking about the big gathering of sixty of them, it should be very lively, Mo Fan can't help but yearn for it.
