On the plane, Fang Xiaofa sent us a box of throat lozenges and instructed: "The air in Urumqi is dry, we just came from Shanghai, and it will take a while to get used to it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhao Lifei had a battle-hardened veteran driver's expression: "I don't need this." You are really delicate, I think back then, my sister lived the life of a female man abroad, what kind of swords and mountains and fires have never fallen, and a little dry air scares you like this. You young people, you really have to learn from our older generation the revolutionary spirit of hard work and simplicity. ”

As a result, Zhao Lifei, who has a revolutionary spirit, shouted and smoked as soon as she got off the plane, and came to take out the throat lozenges in Fang Xiao's bag.

The receptionist sent us to a five-star hotel and said that a dinner had been arranged in the evening, which was called a welcome gift to the magazine by the event investor.

Among them, the largest investor is the CEO of a well-known local coal mining group, who is the coal boss as the saying goes.

As long as the coal boss can be compensated, the investment money is appropriate, the activities can be expanded, and the influence on the expansion of the magazine will naturally be great.

We checked the information of this coal boss beforehand, and this person's name is Meng Fatian, and his name is quite a coal boss.

The appearance is basically in accordance with the standards of the coal boss, with a big belly, pig's head, and a smooth face, and a feeling of indigestion after eating fatty meat.

Before leaving, we gathered in Fang Xiao's room to discuss tonight's strategy.

Fang Xiao handed over the heavy task to Concubine Zhao Li, and said, "You must get this old man done tonight, concubine, you have to give full play to your strengths, use your fox eyes to knock him down, and let him succumb first at the wine table, otherwise we will run for nothing this time." ”

"Fight for wine, sister can be on it, sell the hue, I don't do it, if it's a little white face, I can consider it." Concubine Zhao said solemnly.

"If you don't get it, do you want me and Xiao Yu to go up?"

"It's not good to say, what if this old man has the good of Longyang and falls in love with our Xiaoyu? Hahaha. ”

I was drinking water and almost squirted, "Don't! I'm a 24K straight guy. ”

Fang Xiao was overjoyed: "Huh! Maybe it's true, this kind of middle-aged man is more perverted, maybe, people look at our Xiaoyu with clear eyebrows, want to taste the little fresh meat, and maybe change their preferences. The concubine and I are optimistic about you, haha, behave well! ”

The two chicks writhed and laughed.

"Don't, don't, stop and get down to business! Tonight we have to deal with this old man Meng no matter what, as far as I know, this person likes to collect Chinese paintings, in an auction, in a row, Su Shi and Zheng Banqiao two treasures, so, accompanied by wine and happiness at the same time, we have to talk to him about Chinese painting intentionally or unintentionally, when it comes to his heart, in this way, the concubine may not have to sell the hue. ”

"Well, great idea! Thank you Xiaoyu for saving me from the dire situation. Zhao Lifei came over and hugged me gratefully.

At 7 p.m., we were sent to a private room in a palatial hotel, which was estimated to be sixty or seventy square meters.

The four walls are respectively themed with the four friends of Meilan, Zhuju, and the Cold, creating four Chinese-style walls.

All of these, in my opinion, are also coal bosses, the more uneducated they are, the more they have to fight hard to get closer to culture. It's like a beggar playing fashion in ripped jeans.

As soon as the assistant of the tourism bureau ushered us through the door, the six people who were already seated at the table stood up and applauded.

Chinese food etiquette is quite important in social occasions, and there is a saying that "Shang Zuo respects the east" and "faces the door is respected".

So from the beginning, I set my eyes on the person sitting in the center facing the gate. It's strange, it's not the old man Meng, but a handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

This guy is nearly 185 tall, with a straight nose, deep eye sockets, a more contoured face, and some mixed-race temperament.

As soon as Zhao Lifei, a saw someone else, she immediately locked it up, stared at each other, dumbfounded, and didn't care what others were introducing herself.

Fang Xiao gently poked her back with his index finger and whispered to her, "You nymphomaniac again." ”

She suddenly woke up and greeted everyone in the audience one by one.

The assistant introduced us one by one, except for the heads of two tourist bureaus and a person from the local cultural department, the rest were entrepreneurs.

We shook around and didn't see the most important person tonight - Meng Dafa.

Just wondering, the assistant introduced the mixed-race young man in the chief position: "This is the chairman of Mengquan Coal Mine Group, Meng Yishen, a talented man who graduated from Columbia University." ”

"Good...... Nice name. "Zhao Lifei, this nymphomaniac, is a little out of control and becomes incoherent.

Meng Yi was full of morale, smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is Ms. Zhao Lifei, the visual director." ”

"Yes, yes, I am! Call me a concubine...... Oh...... No, just call me concubine, later. Concubine Zhao Li hurriedly greeted Meng Yishen respectfully and shook hands with Meng Yishen.

At the end, he turned to Fang Xiao: "This is Fang Xiao's editor-in-chief, it is really a beautiful appearance and temperament, a heroine among women, admire and admire!" ”

"Don't dare to be, see and laugh."

After greeting Fang Xiao, he said to me: "This don't need to think about it, it must be the great writer Zeng Xiaoyu, I have heard of the big name for a long time, in fact, I have known you from your book a long time ago, not only is it talented, but when I saw you today, I didn't expect to be a talent." Admire, admire! ”

"Brother Meng has won the award."

Several other entrepreneurs also made presentations.

Fang Xiao sat on Meng Yishen's left, I sat on his right, and there was a person between Concubine Zhao and Fang Xiao.

After everyone sat down, Meng Yishen raised the glass containing half a glass of red wine and said loudly: "It is my honor for Meng Yishen to be able to dine with the heroes among you today!" It's hard for everyone to get together, eat well, play well, drink well, but this Chinese wine culture, there are really some sick places, today in my territory, absolutely do not advocate pouring people unconscious before stopping, everyone can drink what they can drink, can not drink fruit juice instead, the important thing is to be happy. ”

As soon as we heard this, the hearts hanging in our throats suddenly fell to the ground.

These people, at a glance, know that they are the masters who drink stupidly and don't pull a few people, and when they meet such an enlightened owner today, they are naturally a lot more cheerful, and they have said that Mr. Meng is wise, and the people who have studied are different, and they are open-minded.

Zhao Lifei communicated with the people next to her from time to time about the progress of the magazine and the importance that the magazine attached to this event, staring at Meng Yishen for a few seconds from time to time.

Fang Xiao raised his glass and toasted Meng Yishen.

Meng Yishen politely raised his glass: "Editor-in-chief Fang is casual!" ”

After saying that, I was bored.

"Mr. Meng really has a good amount of alcohol, this time I laughed and sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman." After speaking, Fang Xiao also drank it all.

"Editor-in-chief Fang is really a heroine among women."

"This cup, when I salute alumni."

"Alumni? You are also a graduate of Columbia University. ”

"Well, it's been more than two years since I graduated."

"Senior sister! I didn't expect such a coincidence to be able to meet my senior sister here, it was really fate. Do you know? The first time I saw you, I had a strange feeling, as if I had seen you somewhere. ”

"Really? Maybe we've passed by on campus many times without knowing each other. ”

"Do you have any group activities for the International Student Council?"

"No, I'm a lonely person, I've always been a loner, and I don't like to party."

"ME TOO, I'M AT COLUMBIA, AND I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME IN THE LIBRARY, AND WHEN THERE'S NO CLASS, I LIKE TO SIT UNDER THE ALMAMATER STATUE AND FINISH MY BREAKFAST AND GO TO THE LIBRARY FOR THE DAY."

"I like the location of the library by the arched window, the innermost one."

"Really? Like me, we may have passed each other countless times, but we don't know each other, no wonder I have a sense of déjà vu when I see you. ”

"Will you go to church on the weekend?"

"Cathedral of St. John the Divine, go every week, what about you?"

"Same!"

"Haha." Meng Yi laughed heartily, "We didn't know each other at Columbia, but we met in Xinjiang." I guess that's fate. ”

"Here, a toast to our fate." Fang Xiao raised his glass again.

That night, Fang Xiao and Meng Yishen chatted enthusiastically, and when they were happy, they actually whispered, and then laughed out loud, which was a joke that only they understood.

We had to sit around and laugh.

Zhao Lifei tried to use her status as an international student to interject and pick up Meng Yishen's stubble, but she failed.

And next to her sat the boss of the steel group, who was kind to Concubine Zhao Li, filling her with wine for a while, serving her vegetables for a while, serving tea and pouring water, and serving her like a servant.

Zhao Lifei was obviously not very interested in this person, and coped with it with a stiff smile like a puppet.

This time, Concubine Zhao Li didn't come in handy for seduction, but Fang Xiao did.

After the banquet, Meng Yi was still unsatisfied and insisted on asking the driver to take us back to the hotel.

I was in the same car as Zhao Lifei. Meng Yishen and Fang Xiao were in the same car.

In the car, Zhao Lifei's finally couldn't be suppressed, and she said stupidly: "Half-blood prince!" My half-blood prince! And it's also the fifth diamond king! Actually, it doesn't matter, he's penniless, and I'm willing to watch him all the time, ah, half-blood prince, I'm tempted! ”

I was like a drunkard talking nonsense, and I simply pressed the window to breathe in and let her have a spring alone.

After arriving at the hotel, Meng Yishen didn't know if he had drunk too much or what, he looked at Fang Xiao affectionately and said: "Laugh, have a good rest, I will order someone to send you a sobering drink later, if you need anything, go directly to the front desk, in my hotel, what do you want, just be your own home, okay?" ”

"Thank you Mr. Meng for your hospitality, we won't be polite."

"Call me Xiaoyi in the future, or junior brother, don't be so unsightly as Mr. Meng and Mr. Meng."

Concubine Zhao and I looked at these two people in a daze, as if we couldn't stop it.

Concubine Zhao finally couldn't help it and coughed vigorously.

Meng Yishen finally woke up: "Oh, that's good, I won't disturb your rest." You have rested, and tomorrow at noon, I will invite you to eat roast whole sheep. That's it, go back to your room and rest early. ”
