Chapter 32: Mona Lisa's Tears
Under the guidance of Zhang Dong, Li Kui, Ma Yuan and Leng Mei began to take turns to accompany Mr. Xiao and Mr. Zhu to drink, and they drank a cup after one accompaniment.
Ma Yuan sometimes accompanied the wine, and deliberately sat on the laps of Mr. Xiao and Mr. Zhu, because Hong Ye was not strong enough to drink, he drank with them every time.
Xie Yan also toasted to Mr. Xiao and Zhang Dong under the guidance of Mr. Zhu, and occasionally blocked the wine for Vice President Zhu, Nana only drank with Mr. Xiao, and did not take the initiative to drink with other people at the table, including Zhu You, looking at her situation, except for Mr. Xiao, I am afraid that she will not drink if anyone toasts her.
Because I was in a bad mood, after a round of toasting, I didn't raise a glass again, just a person with his head down and eating the food, unless the other party took the initiative to toast back.
"Little brother, why don't you drink?" Mr. Xiao's loud voice remembered in my ears again, I raised my head and found that the people at the table were a little red, drunk and hazy, and they thought they had drunk a little too much.
"Oh, Mr. Xiao, I'm just thinking about something, I'm a little confused, I haven't been in S City for a long time, I heard that Shaw Group is the largest group in S City, I don't know if it was created by Mr. Xiao himself?"
Mr. Xiao suddenly put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Young man, how long have you known this question that no one has asked me?" ”
I shook my head.
"Zhu You, do you dare to ask the question that the little brother asked just now?" Mr. Xiao looked at Zhu You and asked.
Zhu You shook his head like a rattle and glared at me fiercely.
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, after the Shaw Group became the first, you are the first person to mention this matter for so many years! There is guts, there is guts! Mr. Xiao said.
I thought to myself, I don't know if Mr. Xiao's words are praise or sarcasm? Isn't it okay to ask a question? I look at the others,
Suddenly, I felt that the atmosphere of the scene became a little embarrassed and tense, and the gaze that Zhang Dong threw at me seemed to contain reproach, did he blame me for saying the wrong thing?
I don't know why, but I think it's a little strange.
"Listening to your accent, it seems to be from City A, I wonder if I guessed right?" Mr. Xiao suddenly said with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Xiao really has good ears! I'm from City A! I replied.
"A graduate of City A's university?" Mr. Xiao continued to ask.
"Yes!" I nodded.
Mr. Xiao smiled and didn't continue to ask.
While Mr. Xiao was silent, Zhu You suddenly interjected: "You young people, if you can enter the Zhang Group and become Zhang Dong's subordinates, you must all have some talent and skills!" Mr. Xiao, do you want to test them on the spot, first, to help the fun, and secondly, to open the eyes of this kid, so that he can see what the sky is high and the earth is thick, what is the sky outside the sky, and there are people in people? ”
Zhu You's later words, every sentence aimed at me, loud and sound, and the words hit my heart, what kind of kindness does this Zhu You'an have? To put it bluntly, I want to use Mr. Xiao's hand to teach me a lesson, so that I can lose face and make him happy!
Mr. Xiao let go of the hand holding Nana, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Zhu has spoken, I will also sell him a face, so be it, this Nana girl, since she came to me, she has never drunk with anyone, if anyone can answer my question, I will let her make an exception to toast, the girl answered, Nana drank two glasses, the girl drank one glass, the boy answered, and the two drank a glass of wine!" ”
"Good!" Zhu You applauded, instantly bringing up the atmosphere.
"Stinky Zhuyou, it's all your fault, I want to toast others!" Nana suddenly scolded Zhu You softly.
Zhu You didn't care after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Isn't it a good thing to have wine to drink?" ”
"Mr. Xiao is really a cheerful person, but I'm a little confused, I don't know how the five of us can answer a question you asked?" Ma Yuan suddenly asked.
"Ma Yuan, don't be too nervous, Mr. Xiao's question is very tricky, I'm afraid that no one will be able to answer the question!" Zhu You opened his mouth and said.
"Oh? yes, well, I hope what I'm worried about doesn't happen! Ma Yuan replied disdainfully.
Zhu You's face changed suddenly, and I called the word "cool" in my heart when I saw it!
Mr. Xiao suddenly smiled and said, "Don't do some senseless disputes!" Whoever answers incorrectly will be eliminated later, or if you can't answer, you will be automatically eliminated, you will be fined three glasses of wine, and you will not answer the following questions again, pay attention to my questions! ”
"Waiter, remove the wine cup and replace it with a wine glass!" Zhu You shouted at the waiter standing next to the opposite door.
Hearing that Mr. Xiao was going to have a problem, several of us hurriedly pricked up our ears to listen, for fear of missing the key words.
Mr. Xiao continued: "I don't know if you have noticed, on the way to this private room, there is a long corridor, and there are many paintings hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, including landscapes, flowers and birds, and people. ”
"It's as simple as that?" Ma Yuan asked curiously.
Mr. Xiao nodded.
"It's that simple, then I'll talk about it first! It's "Mona Lisa's Smile," Ma Yuan said.
"You've said it all, what else can I say?" Leng Mei said angrily.
"How? Zhu You, my Leng Mei sister also wanted to answer, but I grabbed the answer, how do you think this situation can be solved? Ma Yuan looked at Zhu You and said proudly.
Zhu You smiled and asked, "Ma Yuan, are you sure of your answer?" ”
"Of course it's certain! Is there anything wrong with it? I saw it with my own eyes when I came! Ma Yuan said.
"Yes, it depends on Mr. Xiao, I don't count what I said! And, as far as I know, you've been knocked out! ”
"What?" Ma Yuan turned her head to look at Mr. Xiao in surprise and asked, "Isn't what I said wrong?" ”
"Zhu You is right, you have answered incorrectly, eliminated!" Mr. Xiao responded.
Ma Yuan was stunned, and reluctantly drank three glasses of penalty wine.
"Wouldn't it? If it wasn't "Mona Lisa's Smile", what would it be? Leng Mei suddenly wondered.
"Who's next, you can answer directly when you think about it!" Zhu You said with a wicked smile.
The correct answer in everyone's mind, even the foolproof answer, was suddenly denied, which caught us off guard, maybe many things in the world are like this, when we are 100% sure, suddenly find out that it is wrong, which will make us surprised and overwhelmed, and we don't know what to do next!
Leng Mei, Li Kui, and Hong Ye all gave up answering directly, and drank three glasses of punishment wine in turn, Hong Ye was too strong to drink, and he didn't want to drink it, but with the help of Xie Yan, he forcibly poured it on her, and the scene looked a little funny.
The next one was me, everyone's eyes began to turn to me, I glanced at Zhang Dong, and found that some small beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead.
It occurred to me that this was the case, no wonder I felt a little strange when I saw that painting for the second time!
I turned my head to look at Mr. Xiao.
"Mr. Xiao, in fact, the painting hanging in the corridor is not called "Mona Lisa's Smile", it should be called "Mona Lisa's Tears""
Zhu Yougang's hand as soon as he picked up the wine glass suddenly trembled, and some of the wine in the glass was dripped.
"Oh?" Mr. Xiao also seemed a little surprised, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Little brother, how to interpret this painting?" ”
"The name of this big hotel has a sea of clouds in front of it, and if there is a sea, there must be sea water, and the sea water is salty, and tears are not water, and they are salty?" I looked at Mr. Xiao and said.
"Good, good!" Mr. Xiao smiled and exclaimed, "Zhu You, this kid is good!" ”
"Mr. Xiao, he just took shit luck, and he happened to answer correctly, or?" Zhu You changed his face and said.
"Nope! I've always done what I say, Nana, go have a drink! Mr. Xiao said.
"Mr. Xiao, this-" Zhu You wanted to say something, but Mr. Xiao had already stretched out his hand to signal him not to say anything.
"Do you really want to drink?" Nana seemed to stand up with great reluctance and spoke.
Mr. Xiao looked at her and didn't speak, Nana had to pour a glass of wine and slowly walked towards me.
When passing by Zhu You's side, Nana suddenly whispered, "Stinky Zhu You, next time I will find you to settle this account!" ”
Leng Mei, who was sitting next to me, poured me a glass of wine, and everyone's eyes fell on Nana, as if they were all waiting to see a good show of drinking a glass of wine.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zhang Dong, his head lowered, as if he saw this scene, and seemed to be thinking about something?
Nana walked up to me, I looked up at her, and found that she had a beautiful complexion, quite beautiful, her skin was as tender as an apple, and she wanted to bite if she saw too much, her eyeshadow was very thick, her eyelashes were long, and there seemed to be some golden things on them, if you didn't look carefully, I thought her long eyelashes were real.
I stood up, she reached out to me, I slowly reached out, and then our bodies gradually moved closer.
The smell of perfume on the other party's body kept pouring into my chest, I suddenly felt the heat from the other person's body scorching my body, I could even feel the sound of the other party's heartbeat, our hands slowly wrapped around and began to intertwine, Nana's big watery eyes, the eyes were black and stared at me.
We raised our hands to drink it all, and suddenly, my hand crutches touched the soft place of the other party, and my body felt like I had been electrocuted, and I couldn't move!
"Drink!" Nana seemed to notice my abnormality, smiled and whispered to me, and then she raised her other hand to support my arm, she used a little force, it seemed to push outward, but it was actually pulled into her arms.
Hearing her words and feeling her strength, I came back to my senses, and quickly drank it all with my neck up, and she drank it too.
Drinking a glass of wine in front of everyone.
As soon as he finished drinking, there was thunderous applause, it was this Zhu You again, he took the lead in applauding, and brought others to applaud together, a vice president, how can he be so coaxed like a child? This kind of person is suitable for public places, and coaxing together can bring the atmosphere up!
Nana threw her eyes at me after drinking, smiled, and seemed to be very shy to return to Mr. Xiao's side, Mr. Xiao glanced at her, and did not make any evaluation of her performance, but his eyes fell on me again, and looked at me again.
"Mr. Xiao is really a refreshing person!" Zhu You suddenly spoke, "Boy, Mr. Xiao can make an exception this time and let the popular woman around him take the initiative to accompany you to have a glass of wine, this is your blessing, even I, the vice president, don't have such a good blessing!" ”
I saw that Zhang Dong's face had become bitter melon-shaped.
Zhu You's words are good, in fact, I understand in my heart that Mr. Xiao asked Nana to come out to accompany the wine, and he also drank a glass of wine, which has a deep meaning, judging from Zhang Dong's performance, Nana used to be Zhang Dong's beloved lover, but now in front of Zhang Dong, she is like a stranger, showing various scenes in front of him that he does not want to see.
And I, as Dong Zhang's subordinate, made all kinds of moves with his former lover, will Dong Zhang let me go?
I thought to myself, Mr. Xiao's trick is too clever, it seems to be rewarding me, but in fact, he not only humiliated Zhang Dong, but also secretly cheated me! I looked at the middle-aged man in front of me and thought he was terrible!
There used to be a saying that "killing people is invisible"! Mr. Xiao is invisible, silent!
"Boy, I like you more and more, do you dare to challenge my next question?" Mr. Xiao suddenly spoke.
"Oh?" I paused before saying, "I don't know, if I answer, what will be the reward this time?" ”
"Boy, I didn't answer, I just thought about rewarding, you are too-" Zhu You suddenly said loudly.
"Alas-Zhu You, you are wrong about this, there is no reward, who wants to answer?" Mr. Xiao interrupted Zhu You's words and said, "Boy, I have been short of an assistant recently, if you can answer this question, I will forcibly ask Zhang Dong for someone and let you enter the Xiao Group and become my assistant!" ”
What Mr. Xiao said was really like a thunderbolt from the blue, and it made people happy.
Originally, today's situation was very unfavorable for us at the beginning, although Li Kui, Ma Yuan, Leng Mei, Hong Ye and others showed different styles, took turns to toast, and even like Ma Yuan, they did not hesitate to wear so cool, and even sat on Mr. Xiao's lap, but this battle-experienced Mr. Xiao is used to seeing this kind of scene, and he is silent and indifferent to such enthusiasm and flattery.
Just when we felt that there was nothing to be done and there was nothing to be done, things suddenly took a turn for the better, and Mr. Xiao suddenly became interested in me, as he just said, if I can answer his question, then I am the only one left in the group of people we came to have a chance to break into the Xiao Group.
This is really "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, it takes no effort to get it, and there is a providence in the dark." ”
I just don't know what problems Mr. Xiao will have this time? The answer to the previous question is somewhat of a bit of luck, if I just came to eat with one mind, came in a hurry along the way, and didn't notice the changes in the scenery around me, I'm afraid it would be more difficult to answer this kind of question than to climb to the sky.
Luckily, Hong Ye doesn't like to be late, she always has to go early when she goes anywhere, so I was very lucky to come early with her, and I had time to admire the paintings hanging on the wall, when I first saw that painting, I also thought it was "Mona Lisa's Smile", but when I looked at it a second time, I felt that the woman in the painting was not like a smile, but like-
At that time, I didn't think of it, but when I saw Zhang Dong's abnormal performance, the painful look on his face, and the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, I suddenly remembered that the woman's face was sad, in fact, she was crying, I thought that the painting must have undergone special treatment, so I boldly said "Mona Lisa's Tears", I didn't expect to be right!
"Mr. Xiao, I'm afraid of this?" Zhu You anxiously stopped.
"What? I recruit an assistant, and I have to get your approval? Mr. Xiao asked in a loud voice.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Mr. Zhu waved his hand again and again in fright, "Mr. Xiao wants to recruit an assistant, how dare I stop it?" I'm just afraid that he is young and incompetent, if Mr. Xiao really insists on recruiting, I can only congratulate him, not to mention that this kid hasn't answered your question yet, he took shit luck for the first time, can he still walk twice in a row? He turned to look at me and glared at me viciously.
For Zhu You's unwarranted provocations and accusations, I can only choose to be patient!
"Good! Boy, listen up to my questions! ”
"Wait!" Hong Ye suddenly opened her mouth to stop her, and her sudden stop made everyone's eyes turn to her, "Mr. Xiao, we didn't answer just now, and we were punished, if he didn't answer either, would he also be punished?" ”
Everyone thought she was going to say something shocking, who knew it was this, but, Hong Ye, what do you want to do, aren't you causing trouble for me?
"Didn't you just say that you couldn't answer and were fined three glasses of wine?" I said quickly.
"That's not right!" Hong Ye suddenly retorted: "Mr. Xiao said later, which means that he didn't answer the first time, but didn't say the second time, Mr. Xiao, do you think what I said is right?" ”
I thought to myself, is this Hong Ye drunk?
"Oh, this girl said it well!" Zhu You suddenly became energetic and said: "This second time you can't answer and you have to be punished, but it's not interesting to punish you with three more glasses of wine, you are still Zhang Dong's person now, and today it is Zhang Dong who is the east, and we are not good at punishing you, otherwise, you won't be able to answer later, perform a show for everyone on the spot, learn three different dog barks, and help everyone have fun, okay?" ”
"Wow! Wow! I haven't heard a dog bark in a long time! Nana suddenly coaxed.
Mr. Xiao frowned slightly, but did not stop it, and our personnel were silent.
I thought to myself that this is an obvious humiliation, if I can't answer, I learned three different dog barks, I'm afraid that I won't be able to raise my head to be a person in my life, especially in front of these female colleagues, how will I face them in the future?
I hate this Hong Ye, if you don't speak, you'll die? The more critical the moment, the more chaos it will make, isn't this a clear push to push me into the fire pit? Isn't this on the same front?
Blame is blame, but you can't show weakness, if I refuse, wouldn't it be the same to be disgraced?
"Alright! Since Mr. Zhu has opened Chrysostom, I naturally have to agree! ”
I agreed, much to the surprise of all of us present, who turned their heads to me in silence, as if to make sure they had heard me wrongly.
