Chapter 33: A Pot of Spring
Lin Xiaoou drove under the guidance of Li Jiacheng to a pot of spring. The place looks very unremarkable from the outside, with gray walls and tiled courtyards that resemble a classical house. The three-character signboard of "a pot of spring" in black on a white background is engraved on the lintel, and the handwriting is sparse and vigorous.
The only difference here from the other courtyards is that the gate is wide and can be accessed by car. However, there is an automatic lifting column on the ground at the door, which prevents cars from breaking in.
The doorman in a robe and horse coat at the gate lowered his head with a smile and asked, "Hello sir, do you have an appointment?"
Lin Xiaoou lowered the window and said, "Jian Xiaojun invited me to come." ”
The doorman immediately said with an enthusiastic face: "Okay, sir, please come in." After saying that, the automatic lifting column at the door fell, and Lin Xiaoou drove in.
The environment inside is unique, the pavilions and pavilions are shady with green trees, and Lin Xiaoou quickly drove along a bluestone paved road to a quaint small building hidden in the green trees.
There was a waiter valet parking, Lin Xiaoou got out of the car and handed over the car keys to the other party, and then took Li Jiacheng through the door of the carved beam and painting building and stepped into the threshold.
As soon as you step through the door, there is a smell of sandalwood, elegant but not tired. The sound of slow running water, coupled with a burst of guzheng sound from nowhere, makes people feel comfortable. There are many exquisite and simple mahogany birdcages under the beams around the main hall, which are hung on the beams with cage hooks and hanging rods, and the thrushes or jade birds in them suddenly toss and turn, and suddenly chirp gracefully.
A woman dressed in Hanfu said with a smile: "Distinguished guests are coming, the wine banquet is on the second floor, please come with me." ”
Lin Xiaoou and Li Jiacheng followed the Hanfu girl up the second floor from the wooden staircase, which was originally an elegant place with bright lights and a beautiful environment, but at this moment there was a green smoke in the room, filled with a smell of smoke.
Jian Xiaojun sat on the mahogany chair with a big grin, holding a cigarette in his mouth and chatting with Chu Ziyu and Zang Hongying, when he saw Lin Xiaoou coming up, he immediately smiled and said, "Ouch! I really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, just wait for the two of you to start the table!"
Chu Ziyu was also smoking, and at this time, he immediately snuffed out and whispered to the service staff next to him: "You can start." ”
After a while, a dazzling array of delicate and elegant dishes were served one by one, and Li Jiacheng's eyes were straight when he saw it. Lin Xiaoou is also the first time to see that the dishes can be made so delicate and beautiful, and there are many people who don't know it at all. The wine I drank today was not a foreign wine, but a Feitian Moutai in a white porcelain bottle.
At this time, Jian Xiaojun raised his glass and said, "Everyone, let me say first, no matter what misunderstandings have happened before, but when you are here today, you have to listen to me." Today this is called not fighting, not knowing each other, and in the future, we will be brothers, how about it?"
Chu Ziyu said: "Brother Jun said, I'm completely fine. I'll dry this glass of wine first. After speaking, he tilted his neck and drank a glass of wine.
Jian Xiaojun said with a smile: "Ziyu is happy, I like this." Gull, it depends on your attitude. ”
Lin Xiaoou thought that this conflict was not a big deal, and he really didn't have any deep hatred with himself, so he was happy to push the boat. So he glanced at Li Jiacheng first, Li Jiacheng nodded quickly, and Lin Xiaoou raised his glass and said, "No problem, I drank this glass of wine." After speaking, he also raised his neck and drank wine.
Li Jiacheng is a smart person, he knows what his identity is, and Lin Xiaoou's cup represents himself, so he didn't interject.
Jian Xiaojun said with a smile: "Okay, now that everyone is brothers, you can be open and honest about anything in the future." Well, I met by chance yesterday, and we both got drunk, so we don't know each other very well, so let's make a formal self-introduction now, starting with me. ”
After introducing himself, Lin Xiaoou knew that Jian Xiaojun was not an ordinary rich second generation, his father was Jian Lingyun, and it was impossible for Lin Xiaoou not to have heard of this name.
Wanheng Group, founded by Jian Lingyun, is a well-known real estate giant. Founded in 1985, the company entered the real estate industry in 1989, and after more than 30 years of rapid development, it is now ranked among the world's top 500. And Jian Lingyun himself is also a frequent visitor to the top ten of the Hurun rich list.
Jian Xiaojun is twenty-four years old this year, and although he has various temporary positions, he is a free man. The company has a dad watching, and there are various professional managers hired with high salaries below. So he doesn't have to worry about anything.
Besides, he is the second in line, and he has an older brother who is more capable than him, and he graduated from Harvard with a doctorate in business administration. There is a sister who is most painful to daddy below. His status is more embarrassing, and he has not recruited his father since he was a child, so he has to be a rich second generation at home.
Jian Xiaojun is keen on making friends, drinking, and gambling, and his father Jian Lingyun once said: "As long as you don't get involved in drugs, you can play as you want." "His father is not optimistic about him, Jian Xiaojun naturally knows that he also understands that he cannot have more opportunities for development in the family business.
After listening to Jian Xiaojun's self-deprecating introduction, Lin Xiaoou felt that he was a person with a temperament, like he was just a friend that others had just made, but being able to be so open and honest was not something that ordinary people could do, so Lin Xiaoou also introduced himself.
His background is very simple, he confessed that he is the traditional Chinese medicine descendant of the contemporary Qingxi Lin family, when his grandfather disappeared when he was ten years old, he began to send people under the fence, sat in the hall at the age of sixteen, and came to the grapefruit market at the age of twenty-one to develop. Of course, he ignored that he entered the city because he was dissatisfied with his marriage and ran away from marriage.
When Lin Xiaoou was introducing himself, Zang Hongying on the side pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and when he heard Lin Xiaoou say that he was from the Qingxi Lin family, he couldn't help but confirm his conjecture, and couldn't help but secretly clench his fists.
Jian Xiaojun said in surprise: "It seems that Brother Lin is really a great Chinese medicine doctor." His eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered his father's recent illness and said, "Maybe my brother and I will be useful to Brother Lin in the future, don't shirk when the time comes." ”
Lin Xiaoou said lightly: "If you need to, just speak." ”
Jian Xiaojun was overjoyed, and couldn't help laughing: "That's good!"
Lin Xiaoou noticed that Zang Hongying on the side seemed to have something on her mind, and saw that she was not very open even on the wine table, and her expression was still very serious. Thinking of her cruelty to herself today, she couldn't help asking, "Miss Zang, have you seen me before?"
Jian Xiaojun said with a smile: "What Miss is not Miss, she is one year older than you this year, you can also call Sister Hongying, or Hongying." ”
Zang Hongying said coldly: "I don't know you." ”
Lin Xiaoou knew that it was impossible to ask anything on this occasion, and besides, he had already said that he would ignore his previous suspicions, so he didn't ask again.
Jian Xiaojun also felt that Zang Hongying was not quite right today, but he still said in a round: "Xiaoou, Hongying is this kind of personality, speak straight, don't go to your heart." ”
Lin Xiaoou said: "No, I learned Sister Hongying's kung fu today, it's really quite powerful, especially the flying knife stunt... After speaking, he glanced at Li Jiacheng. Li Jiacheng's arm was still wrapped in a bandage at this time, but he hurriedly smiled stupidly: "That's right, it's amazing, it's really powerful." ”
Jian Xiaojun laughed and said, "You can't let my brother hang up in vain." After speaking, he took out a gift card from his pocket, handed it to Lin Xiaoou and said, "It's just a small meaning, let my brother buy some supplements, and accept it." ”
Lin Xiaoou saw that it was a shopping card commonly used in various supermarkets and department stores, with a denomination of 10,000 yuan. So he handed it to Li Jiacheng and said: "This is a little bit of Brother Jun's meaning, you can take it." ”
Li Jiacheng took it and looked at it, thinking to himself, good guy! A rich man is generous. So he hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Jun, since Brother Xiaoou also said it, then I will accept it." ”
Jian Xiaojun suddenly found that Lin Xiaoou's wrist was empty, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter?
Lin Xiaoou said: "No, I only found out that the watch was so expensive this morning, so I took it off early in the morning and gave it to Zeng Qian." Originally, I wanted her to hand it over to you, but I didn't expect us to meet again today. ”
Jian Xiaojun said angrily: "Brother, this is your mistake, you obviously look down on me, that's gambling money, I, Jian Xiaojun, am willing to gamble and lose, you must know that the name of Xuanyuan Yijun is not for nothing." You are ignoring me in injustice! You don't want that watch, even if you throw it into the river, it's your own business, and it has nothing to do with me. My Jian Xiaojun has no score, and I won't lose anything and have to come back, who do you think of me?"
Lin Xiaoou saw that he was really angry, so he said: "Then let's do it, I bet with you before that I saved you once with one hand, although it sounds a bit big, but I am still a little confident." I took the watch, and I put this sentence down, even if it's an exchange, you see if it's okay. ”
Jian Xiaojun said with a smile: "Then I took advantage of it, a watch for my life, how can there be such a good business, I make a lot of money, of course it will work." ”
Seeing what he said, everyone laughed.
Chu Ziyu didn't believe Lin Xiaoou at all when he said that he could save Jian Xiaojun with one hand, and felt that he was a bit hypocritical. A watch was collected, and what exchange was said. But he also knew that Jian Xiaojun really didn't care about a watch.
It's just that no one thought at that time that the words that Jian Xiaojun said at this time would really happen later.
