Chapter 417: Birthday Greetings
............It seems that Lao Han is not angry this time!" An old man in a cyan coat sighed after glancing at Liu Dong with a complicated expression.
Hearing his words, several people nodded one after another, and when they looked at Liu Dong again at this time, there was no longer the initial contempt in their eyes, but their expressions were cautious.
Also, Liu Dong's method of 'planning and then acting' just now and the initial forbearance kung fu are really not like what a young person can have, and the whole process surprised those of them who have lived for half their lives, they are even older than old fritters!
"Thanks to the last time I went to the supermarket to buy a lot of money, otherwise I really wouldn't have fun this time!" Liu Dong thought to himself after using his pocket as a cover-up and putting the radio back into the mustard seed space.
With the departure of the old man surnamed Han, Shi Tao's original work "Clear Map of the Haiyan River" was put away by Liu Dong, and the matter here is almost over. Although there was nothing wrong with what Liu Dong did just now, some people still felt that he had gone too far. Therefore, after the old man surnamed Han left for a while, several other people also left in twos and threes.
Although they are not too close to the old man surnamed Han, they have worked together for many years, and their relationship is naturally much closer than that of Liu Dong.
"Liu Dong. Don't worry! Your level of appraisal is very impressive to an old man. Here's my phone. In the future, we will have to contact each other often, but my old man wants to see with his own eyes the style of Zhang Sengqiu's authentic work "Five Elements and Twenty-eight Residences True Shape"!" After saying this, Old Man Jiang left a business card, and then patted Liu Dong on the shoulder, smiled and followed behind a few people and left.
Everyone left, but Liang Yulin, who had just brought Liu Dong up, was in a difficult situation, after all, no matter how much he wanted to win over Liu Dong, the other party was also an outsider. And the old man surnamed Han, they are indeed authentic Rong Bao Zhai's own people. Now there is a contradiction between the two sides, which makes him, the manager of Rong Bao Zhai, uncomfortable in the middle.
Holding the rolled up Shi Tao's true handiwork in his hand, looking at Liang Yulin's tangled expression, Liu Dong also roughly guessed what he was thinking, just after what happened just now, Liu Dong himself had no intention of continuing to shop in Rong Bao Zhai. Therefore, after a few more idle words with Liang Yulin, Liu Dong offered his farewell. And Liang Yulin, who was already embarrassed in his heart, just simply kept it for a while, and then agreed.
Coming out of Rong Bao Zhai, he held a large number of pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand. and an authentic work of Shi Tao, plus a Liu Dong of Xu Beihong's "Gunma Picture" oil painting that has not yet been restored. There was no way to put things into the mustard seed space in public, and the time was already past noon, so with the help of Liang Yulin, he could only find a white pickup truck and drive towards home under the guidance of Liu Dong.
After arriving at the ground and unloading all the things from the back bucket, Liu Dong spent some money and sent the driver back.
After waiting until there was no one on the left and right, Liu Dong waved his hand to put the things into the mustard seed space, and then Shi Shiran stepped up the steps, and then pushed the door and walked in.
"Xiaodong, are you back?" Zhang's mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the footsteps outside, and when she went out, she saw Liu Dong walking towards the hall.
"Mom Zhang, are they still sleeping?"
"yes, I don't know what I did last night, and I haven't woken up until now!" the old lady shook her head, and then turned back to the kitchen, where her dishes were still stir-frying on the gas stove!
"Xiaodong, lunch is about to be ready, you go and call them all up!"
"Got it!" After answering, Liu Dong turned around and glanced at Li Yuncong, who was still sleeping on the sofa, and even snoring, walked to his side with a wicked smile on his face, and then reached out and pinched his nose.
"Brother Li, it's noon, it's time to get up and eat!"
The nose can't breathe, no matter how heavy the sleep is, you have to wake up.
But I didn't rest all night, and now Li Yuncong, who has only slept for more than four hours, is now sleepy, the sky and the earth are big, how can it be bigger than sleeping at this time. So, after patting Liu Dong's hand away, he turned over, muttered a sentence to Liu Dong not to disturb him, and fell asleep again.
Seeing his appearance, Liu Dong also knew that it was a little difficult to wake him up. Shaking his head, he walked through the living room into the bedroom on the right, only to see that on the carved bed by the window, Jiang Tingting and Zhuang Wen were covered with thin blankets, and they were also sleeping soundly at the moment. In addition, the thousand-year-old treasure knife Bailu that Liu Dong took out was also placed on the bedside table on the side, which was obviously sorted out by Zhang's mother later.
walked over, put away the white deer knife, and then stood by the bed and shouted a few times, and after seeing that the two women did not respond, Liu Dong gave up. According to Miss Jiang's temper, if Liu Dong disturbs her good dreams, it is estimated that she will get into trouble again!
After putting the prepared dishes on the dining table, Zhang's mother looked at Liu Dong who came out of the bedroom and asked, "Xiaodong, are they all up?"
"No, I'm sleeping so hard that I can't wake up when I scream!" Seeing that the old lady had the posture of going out in person, Liu Dong hurriedly stopped her, "Forget it, Mother Zhang let them sleep, it's not too late to eat when you wake up!"
After some persuasion by Liu Dong, the old lady finally agreed.
After lunch, because he was afraid that a few people would wake up and not find him, Liu Dong stayed at home and did not go out again. It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that the three of them got up from their beds one by one. Then asked Zhang's mother to heat up the meal specially set aside for a few people at noon, and after eating, she finally regained her energy.
Especially Jiang Tingting, last night's experience in the ghost market made her feel very interesting, and at the same time, she became more and more interested in these gods and ghosts. A few times I mentioned that I would visit No. 81 Chaonei Street, the famous ghost house, tonight, but Liu Dong will attend Grandpa Zhou Bin's birthday tomorrow, and Li Yuncong, who is a child of the family, will also go, as for Zhuang Wen, although he has made up for it, his energy has not fully recovered, so without support, Jiang Tingting can only give up temporarily.
After dinner in the evening, the three of them drove home.
After sending the three of them away, Liu Dong continued to paint his own oil paintings, and did not fall asleep until the second half of the night, and when he got up early in the morning to finish practicing and eating the breakfast prepared by Zhang's mother, Zhou Bin's phone had already called.
"Xiaodong, I'm too busy here today to go over in person, but I've already sent a car over, and I'll let the driver drive you over when the time comes!"
"Okay, I know, Brother Zhou!
"Hey, what's polite! That's okay, we'll talk when you get there, I'll hang up first if I have something to do here!"
"Okay, I'll see you later!" As soon as Liu Dong finished speaking, a blind voice came from his mobile phone.
"It's really busy!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart, just after the phone call just now, Liu Dong heard no less than three or four voices greeting Zhou Bin, it was obvious that although it was still early, the people who came to congratulate Old Man Zhou on his birthday had already begun to come to the door.
Think about it, even if a founding general like Zhou Lao is retired, his influence is still there, and with the development of time, there are fewer and fewer national leaders who have come from the war years, and the rest have all become the optimus prime of the domestic political and military for two terms, with a lofty status. Such a person celebrates his eightieth birthday, no matter how low-key he is, this person who comes to the door is enough to break through the threshold of the old Zhou family.
Just when Liu Dong was thinking nonsense, the sound of a car engine had already sounded outside, and it stopped at the gate of the courtyard after a while.
Soon there was a knock on the door.
"Is Mr. Liu here?"
"Here, wait a minute!" After responding loudly, Liu Dong returned to his room, took out the birthday gift that had been prepared a long time ago, and then explained to Zhang's mother, then turned around and walked towards the door.
"Brother Gang, is that you?" When Liu Dong opened the door, what appeared in front of him was one of the two bodyguards who followed Zhou Bin when he was gambling on stones in Quancheng before.
"Hehe, it's me, Mr. Liu!" Wang Gang also has a good impression of Liu Dong, so after seeing him again, he was also very happy.
"Hey, Brother Gang is too out-of-the-box, just call me Liu Dong directly!By the way, why didn't I see you last time I came to the capital?" Liu Dong asked with a smile after closing the door.
"Oh, I asked my boss for leave last time and went home!" said Wang Gang, who was about to take the package in Liu Dong's hand.
"It's okay, Brother Gang! It's not sinking, I'll do it myself!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, Wang Gang did not force it, after the last experience in Quancheng, the two were already very familiar with each other.
"Xiaodong, let's go, the boss is waiting for you!"
"Okay!" Liu Dong nodded, and did not refuse. After opening the door and putting the birthday gift in the back seat, he did it as the co-pilot.
Afterwards, Wang Gang drove the two towards Yuquan Mountain, where Liu Dong had already been here once.
Like last time, after going through six strict inspections, Liu Dong entered Yuquan Mountain, but compared with the quiet here when Liu Dong came a few days ago, there was a trace of hustle and bustle in Yuquan Mountain at this moment. At the very least, there are a lot more cars on this road. And looking at the direction, it is obvious that their destination is the same as Liu Dong.
As the car drove in, the more vehicles passed by, and after Wang Gang reminded him to the ground, Liu Dong once again felt what it meant to be shocked.
However, this time it is not how good the car parked here is, but the license plate is too good! Guo A, Beijing A, which represent important departments such as the State Council, will not be said, but according to the provincial registration number, 000001, 000002, or 888888, there is a large list of such numbers.
But from these license plates, you can also understand how high the status of the people who can come here today.
Getting off the car, under the guidance of Wang Gang, Liu Dong quickly found Zhou Bin, who was greeting the guests at the door.
