Ma Yuantu is almost ten years older than Mo Fan, and calling himself "Little Pony" means self-humility, and his posture can be described as very low. However, Mo Fan knew that this kind of humility was just an appearance, and Ma Yuantu was quite conceited in his bones. The last time they participated in the bid opening meeting, the two had dealt with each other face-to-face, and Ma Yuantu was in this style, but through his gold-rimmed glasses, you could still see the pride hidden in his eyes.

At this time, across the phone, of course Mo Fan couldn't see Ma Yuantu's expression, but when he heard his voice, he seemed to have seen that kind of look.

I only heard Ma Yuantu say: "I heard Mr. Hu of Mingyuan say that Mr. Mo also came to Xihuayuan Resort to play, this is really a coincidence!" There was a joy in his words, and he seemed to be very happy about this accident.

Mo Fan said: "Yes, so Mr. Ma is also here, that is indeed a coincidence!" His tone was much calmer, although he was also surprised, but it seemed very fake.

Ma Yuantu said: "Since so many friends are together, why don't we get together at noon?"

Mo Fan said, "Oh, who else?"

Ma Yuantu said: "Speaking of peers, Mr. Mo will know when he comes, I don't know if I can appreciate the light?"

Mo Fan laughed twice and said, "Okay." ”

Ma Yuantu said: "That's good, I will wait for Mr. Mo at that time." ”

Mo Fan said, "It must arrive." ”

He hung up the phone and saw that Lu Xiaorong and Liang Wenbo were looking at him, obviously paying attention to the call. Tang Xiaoxiao didn't know what to do, with a hint of curiosity on his face, and most of his attention was still on Liang Wenbo's paintings. Only Ji Xiaoying was still sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai posture, and it seemed that she didn't hear him answer the phone just now.

"Ma Yuantu?" Lu Xiaorong asked.

Mo Fan nodded and said, "You want me to eat with them at noon." ”

Liang Wenbo smiled: "Is this a bait?" Last night in the bowling alley, Mo Fan stepped forward to say a few words to Hu Farun, and it seems that this plan to scare the snake has worked.

Mo Fan smiled slightly and said, "That horse is not an ordinary person, and it is not certain who catches whom." ”

Liang Wenbo said two words silently: "Cowardice!" He ridiculed Mo Fan for growing up and destroying his own prestige. Mo Fan replied with two words in the same way: "Get out!"

Lu Xiaorong said, "I'll go with you?"

Ji Xiaoying turned around and said, "At noon, let's talk about eating barbecue, let that guy go to eat a big meal by himself." ”

"I'll go on my own and see what those guys can do. Mo Fan glanced at Ji Xiaoying as he spoke, daring her to listen with her ears open. It is estimated that at noon, Ma Yuantu's gang will not bring their families, otherwise they are women and children, where can they talk about anything. I believe that this invitation will never be for him to go to a real family gathering.

Liang Wenbo shook his head and said: "This book is called 'Liang Caizi accompanies Sanmei to eat barbecue, Mo Xiaofan goes to Hongmen banquet alone'!"

Mo Fan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Do you want to swim?"

Liang Wenbo laughed, picked up the painting in his hand and shook it, and said, "Can you change it or not?"

When Lu Xiaorong saw it, she wanted to go over and take a closer look, and she liked it very much. Mo Fan said: "Put it away, don't give it to him." ”

Liang Wenbo shouted: "You are really boring, there is still a while before the meal, and it won't take long to draw a picture!"

Mo Fan knew Liang Wenbo's little abacus, the gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and said: "Bring the sketchpad here, and then what should I do." ”

Liang Wenbo gave Mo Fan the drawing board and charcoal, and then sat down next to Tang Xiaoxiao.

Tang Xiaoxiao seemed to feel the gaze cast by Mo Fan behind him, felt that his face was a little hot, and his whole body was unnatural, and his body moved to the side, keeping a little distance from Liang Wenbo.

Liang Wenbo looked at Tang Xiaoxiao, his face full of helplessness and sadness. Tang Xiaoxiao glanced sideways at him, then moved towards him a little more. Although there is still a big gap between the two, Liang Wenbo is very happy, because Tang Xiaoxiao's move is enough to explain the problem.

Mo Fan watched behind them and smiled silently. I don't know if Liang Wenbo really likes this little cabbage, or if he plays too much at night and thinks that the female students are fresher. But at least at this stage, they are happy, and the joy that comes from the heart can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Emotional matters, sometimes there is really no reason to talk about it, just let them go.

Lu Xiaorong fished alone and felt a little bored, so she put down the fishing rod and went to Mo Fan to watch him paint. I saw that there was already a rough outline on the drawing board, and the painting was the backs of two people, and the woman leaned her head on the man's shoulder, which was much closer than Liang Wenbo and Tang Xiaoxiao sitting in front.

"Is that good?" she asked, a little confused, in a very soft voice. She was a little worried that if the relationship between the two was clarified in this way, there might be something bad about it.

Mo Fan squeezed his eyes at her and whispered in her ear: "That kid just wants this effect, otherwise wouldn't it be more convenient to press the camera a few times." ”

Lu Xiaorong smiled, remembering how she and Mo Fan fell in love, if someone had found it out earlier, it didn't seem to be a bad thing.

With Mo Fan's brushstroke, the two people in the painting gradually became clear, although they were only backs, but people who knew each other could easily recognize them. The background of the picture is no longer the lakeshore in front of you, but the endless seaside, and a round of sun peeking out of the sea level to make up for a small regret of Liang Wenbo's trip.

After finishing the painting, Mo Fan looked at it again, felt satisfied, and said, "Okay." ”

Liang Wenbo came over to take a look and praised: "Not bad, not bad, elegant and timeless, it's really a masterpiece." I'm going to make an oil painting of this when I go back. ”

Tang Xiaoxiao also came over to watch, pursed his lips and did not speak. Lu Xiaorong couldn't help but smile when she saw that her face was slightly red, and her eyes contained joy.

This time, even Ji Xiaoying threw down the fishing rod to join in the fun, she looked at the painting, then looked at Mo Fan, and said, "The painting is good, when did you learn it?"

Everyone else thinks that Ji Xiaoying is praising Mo Fan, but Mo Fan knows that this girl is finding fault, just like bowling last night. said: "I haven't been studying for a long time, and I'm ugly." ”

Ji Xiaoying said: "Is it so easy to learn to paint?"

Mo Fan said: "Well, it depends on talent." There is an ancient man named Wang Mian, who only studied for three months, and the lotus flower he drew is just like the real thing, you should know this story, right?"

Ji Xiaoying sneered: "You want to say that you are very talented?"

Mo Fan said: "I feel that I have a strong learning ability. ”

Ji Xiaoying pursed her lips and did not continue the topic.

At noon, Ma Yuantu called Mo Fan again, told him the private room number, and said that the person was almost here, so Mo Fan said that he would go over immediately.

This is where the fishing ends. Counting the results, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't catch a single one. The story of kitten fishing teaches us that if you don't focus, you won't get anything. Lu Xiaorong harvested three, Ji Xiaoying came from behind, and caught as many as five, Mo Fan felt that this girl was afraid that she had a little talent in fishing.

The fish caught are paid by the pound, and the price is more expensive than in the supermarket, which also shows that it is not difficult to fish here.

The waiter brought a disposable charcoal stove and barbecue supplies, and everyone set up a barbecue stall on the terrace. Mo Fan said: "Keep some for me, maybe I'll be back soon, or you can just wait for me for a while." ”

Ji Xiaoying glared and said, "Why?

Mo Fan glanced at her and said, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat what you bake." ”

……

……

The resort's restaurant was located on the third floor of the main building, and when Mo Fan walked over, it had been almost half an hour since Ma Yuantu called him last time.

For the invitation of friends, Mo Fan has always been very punctual. However, he didn't regard Ma Yuantu and others as friends, and I believe that people didn't treat him as friends either. Although I don't know what Ma Yuantu's intentions are for this invitation, it is definitely not to chat casually to enhance the relationship. Liang Wenbo said that he was going to the Hongmen banquet, of course, it was not so exaggerated, and the nature was probably different.

Under the guidance of the waiter, I came to the private room told by Ma Yuantu, and there were no women and children in it, only six men. Mo Fan swept his eyes and saw that in addition to Ma Yuantu, Hu Farun, and Guo Qibing, there was another person who had met at the last bidding meeting, and it was Zhou Ming, the general manager of Ruidong Technology Company. The other two don't know each other.

When Ma Yuantu saw Mo Fan coming in, he stood up and took two steps to greet him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo, you are finally here." Although the smile was kind, it still revealed a hint of complaint.

Mo Fan said: "I'm sorry to delay a little bit of something." ”

This is talking nonsense with his eyes open, running to the resort to play, how big things can he not leave, and there is no apology in his words. Except for Ma Yuantu and Hu Farun, the other four people's faces were not so good-looking immediately.

"Mr. Mo, please take a seat. Ma Yuantu pointed to the only empty seat and said, it seems that people expected him to come alone.

The seat facing the door is called the "upper seat". Mo Fan smiled and nodded, but he was not humble, and walked over and sat down. There were already eight cold dishes on the table, but there was no trace of chopsticks, and it was estimated that he had been waiting impatiently.

Ma Yuantu first introduced the two fresh faces to Mo Fan.

Sitting on Mo Fan's right hand is named Liu Xiangjun, the owner of Baofeng Industrial Company, who looks like he is in his early forties, has a "board inch", has a relatively wide body, and wears a very thick gold chain around his neck. He is the oldest of those present.

Sitting next to Liu Xiangjun is named Yu Guangtai, who is about 30 years old, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, wearing a relatively "trendy" style and hairstyle, and his identity is the deputy general manager of Taihui Science and Trade.

Yu Guangtai is next to Zhou Ming, Ma Yuantu said: "This is Mr. Zhou, Mr. Mo should know." Mo Fan said, "It's a little familiar." ”

Zhou Ming was regarded as a passerby, and he was unhappy, and said: "Mr. Mo is a noble person, and at the bid opening meeting of the Xihe Garden project, we had a relationship. ”

"Oh. Mo Fan smiled and nodded, "It turned out to be Mr. Zhou of Qingfeng Company." ”

Zhou Ming said with a dark face: "My company is called Ruidong Technology. ”

On Mo Fan's left-hand side, there are Ma Yuantu, Hu Farun, and Guo Qibing. These Mo Fan can't say that they don't know each other, but they have also dealt with each other and spoke.

As Ma Yuantu said, these people are all in a circle.
