In 2016, a country in North Africa on the African continent.

"Chicken, I'll touch it. ”

It is not surprising that the "national essence" of mahjong appears in Africa, and with the growing strength of the country, more and more Chinese are going abroad.

The person who shouted "touch the chicken" was a middle-aged man with a pair of glasses, and his name was Li Huayong.

Li Huayong, male, national first-class constructor, senior economist, professor-level senior engineer. He worked in a large central enterprise in China and served as the deputy chief engineer of this large central enterprise.

Li Huayong came to Africa this time because a subordinate unit of the collective company undertook a project here, and Li Huayong came here on behalf of the head office to conduct routine inspections.

For Li Huayong's arrival, the most worrying thing is Deputy Manager Luo, who is in charge of logistics on the project. Li Huayong is the technical authority of the collective company, and he is also relatively easy-going, and he, the "deputy chief engineer Li", does not have a lot of actual authority in the company. But then again, people also come here as superior leaders to inspect the work.

But on the African continent ... In the barren mountains and mountains, how to entertain has become a big problem. Lao Luo is worried about this.

At present, the rules of the country are becoming stricter, and there is a big basket of these regulations. Although this project is overseas, as a central enterprise, many rules cannot be overcome. Just a few years earlier, it would not have been a good thing to pull Deputy Chief Engineer Li and his entourage to the nearest city to "have a good look." But at this time, if it is transmitted back to China ...

Lao Luo had no choice, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he had to consult the project manager Cheng Gang.

"Don't you know my master?"

Cheng Gang stared at Lao Luo with a pair of bull's eyes.

In such a large central enterprise, the relationships are intricate. Under the collective company, there are seven or eight branches alone, and each branch basically has the qualification to independently undertake large-scale projects, and the constraints of the collective company on the subordinate companies are not much.

Lao Luo didn't have much to do with Li Huayong before, he only knew that Deputy Chief Engineer Li was the technical authority of the collective company, and he was also a member of several national construction technology review committees. He has participated in a number of national technical research projects, and his name is well-known in the entire industry, and he can definitely be called a well-known signboard of the entire collective company.

"What's the situation? Boss, just say it. Lao Luo said to his direct boss Cheng Gang.

Although Lao Luo himself is not familiar with Deputy Chief Engineer Li, he knows that the project manager Cheng Gang is from the same branch as Deputy Chief Engineer Li. Moreover, Deputy Chief Engineer Li is also the master of Cheng Gangzheng's eight classics--- which is a tradition of state-owned enterprises, a tradition that has been preserved since the 50s of the last century. It's just that in the past, most of them were workers, and later, whenever college students were assigned to this kind of central enterprise, the company would appoint some experienced engineers to take these students.

In this overseas project, except for a few people such as Lao Luo, who were drawn from other branches, most of the others were born in the same branch as Li Huayong.

"Xiao Zhao, tell Lao Luo about Mr. Li's situation. Cheng Gang instructed Zhao Yong, the marketing manager beside him.

"Okay. ”

Zhao Yong began to introduce to Lao Luo with a smile:

“。。。 If you want to talk about Mr. Li, of course, his skills are not to be said, and he is very easy-going, a good person, a good leader... But I don't know if you've heard of Lao Luo, Mr. Li has two hobbies in his life... ”

"Hobby. ”

When Lao Luo heard this, he knew that the drama was coming, and he was engaged in ushering in the pick-up, the so-called hospitality, the highest level of hospitality, isn't it "doing what he likes". So Lao Luo cheered up and continued to listen to Zhao Yong.

“。。。 Yes, in our original branch, everyone knows that Mr. Li has two hobbies, his first hobby is Go, speaking of Mr. Li's level of Go, it is the same as his business, I don't know if you know, last year, the whole industry engaged in a Go competition, that is, our Mr. Li won the first... ”

"Go?" Lao Luo was a little disappointed when he heard this, does this have anything to do with today's events? Could it be that in this big Africa, find a few people to play Go with Mr. Li?

"Don't worry, you listen to me... Zhao Yong glanced at Lao Luo with a smile, of course he knew what the project manager Cheng Gang meant, so he continued:

In addition to liking to play Go, Mr. Li's second hobby may be mahjong. ”

"Mahjong?"

"Hehe, that's right, it's mahjong. ”

Lao Luo felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't know why Zhao Yong laughed so obscene when he said that Mr. Li liked to play mahjong.

"What do you mean, Manager Cheng, we don't need to entertain specially, just find a few people to play a few rounds of mahjong with Mr. Li after dinner, that's it?"

"My master, I know, of course that's all it takes. But... ”

After a few minutes, Lao Luo finally knew why Zhao Yong was smiling so obscenely before.

"But after all, my master is to inspect the work as a superior leader this time, I said a few of you, don't be cruel to him this time, especially you... ”

Cheng Gang glared at Zhao Yong: "You don't want to play this time, after dinner today, I, Lao Yuan, and Lao Luo... By the way, the popular "258 generals" game in Hunan and Hubei will you do it, right? The three of us will play a game of mahjong with Mr. Li. ”

A "business entertainment card", Lao Luo is naturally dispensable, but he noticed that Lao Yuan, the deputy manager of project production who was personally ordered by Cheng Gang, smiled, and Zhao Yong, who was excluded, had a sad face.

Before getting ready to play, Lao Luo pulled Lao Yuan and asked what was going on. Lao Yuan introduced with a smile, it turns out that although Li Huayong is the company's technical authority and is also a good player in Go, his mahjong level... That's really not a compliment. The standard standard is a big addiction. 10 mahjong down, winning one is a normal level, winning two is a super level of play, if Deputy Chief Engineer Li wins three games, it is definitely a burst of character luck to burst. Therefore, in the original branch, Deputy Chief Engineer Li has the reputation of "Good Money Boy".

If that's all it takes, Li Huayong himself is still very unconvinced. Lao Yuan introduced to Lao Luo: Deputy Chief Engineer Li is a person who is extremely face-saving, he thinks that he is so smart, not to mention his professional level, he can even play Go so well, there is no reason why he can't even play mahjong well?

"Mr. Li has a characteristic, a mahjong game down, if he blushes around on the second day and brags about how his luck was yesterday, it is most likely that he has not lost much or has already saved his capital, do you know what I mean?"

Lao Yuan winked at Lao Luo.

"The legendary less to lose should win?" Lao Luo was stunned, and at the same time smiled:

"Got it, got it... ”

A "business reception card" unfolds in such a situation. With the cooperation of Cheng Gang and others, in less than 2 hours, the banknotes in front of Li Huayong have been piled high, and there are hundreds of thousands of them if you count them.

Don't think that all the people here are local tyrants, they use the local currency, and the exchange rate with RMB is about 150 to 1, so if it is converted into RMB, it is probably one or two thousand yuan to win or lose. Winning or losing at this level is still nothing to a few of you here.

"This Deputy Chief Engineer Li, the skill of playing cards is really not very good... ”

Lao Luo shook his head in his heart while playing cards, and after a few laps, even he, the first time he played cards with Li Huayong, he had already seen that Deputy Chief Engineer Li's card skills were really bad enough.

According to Lao Luo's estimate, Deputy Chief Engineer Li, who had just touched the "Chicken", should be making a "uniform" big name now, and most of them have already "called", just look at his appearance.

As long as he saw Deputy Chief Engineer Li's appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks, Lao Luo felt funny in his heart. One of the basic elements of playing mahjong is to know your cards in your mind. What cards do you play, what cards do you want, what cards are you going to make? Think about this at the beginning so that you can observe the whole table and focus more on the other people. How can there be someone like Li Huayong, who has already "listened", and he only kept looking at his cards.

Lao Luo despised and despised in his heart, but after all, this was a hospitality card, so he still decided to fulfill Deputy Chief Engineer Li.

"Bumping" the chicken "hitting" the "four", what is the situation? 147 line, since you don't want 147, then I'll try to change the line... ”

"Six of a kind. Lao Luo, who was sitting at Li Huayong's house, drew a card at any time.

In addition to Deputy Chief Engineer Li, the other two are also brand masters, they saw Lao Luo out of the "six", they all stopped to wait for Li Huayong's reaction, seeing that he did not react, the game continued.

"Ninety thousand", Lao Yuan played the card.

"Eight", Cheng Gang played the card.

After Cheng Gang came out of the "eight", everyone stopped again and waited for Deputy Chief Engineer Li's reaction. Seeing that he still didn't react, Lao Luo muttered in his heart:

"What's the situation? 147 don't want, 369 don't, 258 still don't? I haven't heard it yet... ”

Lao Luo didn't have time to think about it, because at the same time as Deputy Chief Engineer Li was about to draw the cards, Lao Yuan, who was sitting under him, had already flopped:

"Wait, "Hachijo", I'm confused, "Will be one color"... ”

Although it is a "hospitality card", it is impossible to let Deputy Chief Engineer Li and the card alone, so except for Cheng Gang glaring at Lao Yuan, nothing else has fallen.

The problem is when the next hand is shuffled. At this time, Deputy Chief Engineer Li seemed to have just reacted, and he said with chagrin while shuffling the cards:

"Made, it's really bad, I saw that the cards were not pasted... ”

Wait, see the strip paste...

Lao Luo's hand stopped, Lao Yuan's hand stopped, and Cheng Gang's hand also stopped.

You touch the "chicken" and hit the "four", and then there are six and eight on the table, and you tell me now that you are seeing the sticky paste?

What's even worse is that your "one color" was actually "cut off" by others.

At this moment, Lao Luo finally understood Zhao Yong's resentful eyes before.
