The sun had set, and old Lem knew that there would be no business coming to him at this time, so he locked the door of the grocery store and, as was customary, strolled to the Centaur Bar.
Tonight, the guests at the Centaur Bar are still the same.
Old Lem pushed open the door of the bar, took a seat at the bar, and shouted to Old Flaray, who was busy in the greenery, "Old man, give me a beer!" β
In a few moments, a full mug of ale was placed in front of him.
"Hey, I said old boy, why wasn't your grocery store open two days ago? Is there something going on? Old Flarley casually asked Old Lem.
Old Lem picked up his beer glass, and after taking two sips in a row, he replied leisurely: "That young hostess of Xiaoquan Villa, please let me help her do something!" β
"Oh? What do you want to ask for help from you, old smoker? Did you ask you to help her get the latest rodenticide? β
As soon as old Flarley spoke, there was a burst of laughter near the bar.
"Shhhh You don't know that! I'm just going to help her solve her problems once and for all. In the future, I will have one less buyer for the latest rodenticide! Old Lem glanced mysteriously at his old friend.
"Oh? Did the young landlady find a solution? The people around him became curious.
After seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, old Lem "tsk" twice, and then shared his experience of the first two days with everyone in the bar.
"Really? That little girl has such a big ability? β
"Can't you see it?"
"Old Lem, don't start talking drunk after two sips of beer!"
ββ
ββ
The people around him began to question.
Coaxed by the people around him like this, Old Lem was anxious and said, "What's so incredible about this." I wasn't alone! Oh yes, when she first came to me for help. also brought with her an employee in the villa, Joey's brother-in-law, Thomson. Thomson saw his boss bend a wrench in my shop! I remember that Thomson's eyes were about to fall out! β
At this moment, the door of the bar was pushed open again, and in came John, a well-known shrewd man in town.
"What are you talking about so vigorously?" John asked with a smile on his face.
"John is here, ask John, isn't he taking someone to work in Xiaoquan Villa recently, he should know about this!" A cowboy shouted.
"Oh? What's up? John sat down at the bar.
"John, do you know blahblahblahblah" The cowboy immediately pulled his chair next to John. Repeat what old Lem just said.
"Oh? That's what you said? As for the golden eagle, I can testify that old Lem did not lie! Koizumi Villa is indeed raising a pair of golden eagles now. As for the rest," John said, and began to make a fuss.
Sure enough, everyone near the bar turned their curious eyes on him again.
John took off the cowboy hat on his head, flicked the hat, and said pretending to be mysterious: "You should all know, I recently took another job at Xiaoquan Villa, right?" β
"You guy, get to the point!" The cowboy next to John reached out and hammered John.
"Ahem," John said leisurely, noncommittal.
- This door-slamming guy! I want to drink free wine again! Old Lime "snorted" twice, then shouted to little Tom in the bar: "Give John a glass of ale beer, count it on my account!" β
Old Lem's words came out. John finally stopped selling the guanzi.
He coughed and then spoke: "This new owner of Xiaoquan Villa, everyone knows that she is Chinese, right?" It is said that she really knows Chinese kung fu! I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I heard Joey's brother-in-law Thomson say it. He had seen Miss Pell bend a wrench from Old Lyme's shop! β
"Wow!"
"Really?"
"Can't you see it?"
βblahblahblahβ
The crowd exclaimed at first, then turned heads to ear.
Old Lem smugly: "Look, I'm not exaggerating! There's proof! If you don't believe me, you can go to Koizumi Villa and see for yourself! Hey? By the way, John, how can it be a pair of golden eagles? We brought back one? β
John replied with a smile: "Hehe, during the day today, after they released the female eagle, the female eagle brought back a male eagle, so it became a pair. β
Old Lem "tsk". "Little Pell is so lucky!"
At this time, John smiled and asked old Lem, "I heard." The young lady invited you to the lodge? β
"Of course!" Old Lem's beard was cocked: "I'm now the most popular friend of Koizumi Villa!" I went on a dangerous jungle adventure with their young owner! Little Pell said that she would welcome me to Xiaoquan Villa at any time! β
"You old smoker. Is it worth showing off like this? John saw that the eyes of the people were drawn to old Lyme again, and his eyes rolled.
"If you want to talk about friendship, it's my deep friendship with Miss Pell! She asked me personally, so that I could find an opportunity to announce a serious news about everyone present with the big guy! John put gold on his face without any heart.
"Oh? What's the news? The cowboy next to John asked first.
"Hehe, you cowboys, you're still unemployed!" Under the gaze of everyone, John leisurely picked up his beer glass.
"Nonsense, no! We have a job and we stay in this bar every day waiting for news! Another cowboy yelled.
"Then the news that I will announce later is good news for everyone present." John triumphantly continued to break the news: "Miss Pell asked me to rush this work now, and when it is completed, it will be a factory!" Do you understand? Factory! Miss Pell is going to open a factory here in Big Wood! β
"Wow! Wouldn't it be time to hire workers? A cowboy approached and asked.
"That's right!" John continued with a smile on his face, "Miss Pell said that when the time comes, she will hire a local cowboy from Big Wood Town to work in her factory!" Tell me about the five-story factory. How many employees do you want to hire! You'll have a job soon! β
"Great! I'll tell my wife the good news when I go back tonight, and I won't have to complain to my wife all day long. The cowboy next to John said happily after hearing this.
"How. I'm telling you the news, aren't you happy to hear it? John had already drunk the beer in his glass, and he looked at everyone with his eyes dripping. Pretending to continue: "This project is contracted by me, and if you want to say when this project can be completed, it is all up to me!" Whether or not I want my subordinates to work overtime to complete the construction as soon as possible depends on whether I have to explain more to my subordinates! β
"Old Flarey, serve John another ale beer, I'll please!" The cowboy immediately put on his sleeve and turned to the old Flarley at the bar.
"Old Flarley, tomorrow John will bring you the first ale beer. Count it on my account! "Another cowboy is on.
"And me"
"John's third drink tonight, I paid for it!" In the crowd, another voice came out of the crowd
This night, in the bar in the town, the latest news about Koizumi Villa spread on everyone's lips. Pei Pei, the hostess of the villa who was being discussed, was talking to her assistant Fu Ya on the phone at this time.
"Well, I've already taken care of everything here, and if nothing happens, I'll be flying back tomorrow afternoon. Oh yes, have you been in contact with someone from the Golden Shield Security Company? Pei Pei lay leisurely on the big bed in the bedroom. While nibbling on the apple taken out of the space, he asked Fu Ya.
"Yes, it has been contacted. Butβas soon as that Mr. Fred heard your name, he spoke in a very strange tone, and I said, boss, what happened to you in the first place? I don't think the other party wants to take our business! Fu Ya replied with a smile.
- It seems that the original advantage was a bit too much! When people hear my name, they start to be vigilant! Pei Pei said in her heart.
"Oh, that's because he thinks I'm too good at underpricing! But then again, as a shrewd businessman, it's unrealistic for me not to save money for myself. Pei Pei replied happily.
"I guess, you took a big advantage in the first place, didn't you?"
"Hehe, I'm going to continue to take advantage of their company this time!" Pei Pei is in a good mood at this moment. As she spoke, she smiled and threw the kernel of the apple into the trash can next to the bed.
After chatting with Fu Ya a few more words. Pei Pei was about to hang up the phone, and she finally asked, "That's right." Is Reese by your side? β
"She? Went on a date? Is there anything I need to convey to her? β
"Nothing particularly important, when she comes back, you remember to tell her, I'll call her tomorrow before I get on the plane, and let her remember to pick me up at the San Jose airport when the time comes." After saying this, Pei Pei said "good night" and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Pei flashed into the space, first took a medicinal bath, and then practiced cross-legged for a long week, then left the space and returned to the bed to close her eyes and rest.
The next day, Pei Pei went downstairs directly with her computer bag. At the breakfast table, while eating breakfast, she turned on her laptop and prepared to book a return ticket online.
Knowing that the boss was about to leave Koizumi Villa today, Danny hesitated and asked, "Miss Pell, have you forgotten something?" β
"Huh?" Pei Pei looked up from behind the screen and looked at Danny.
"Do you remember when you invited old Lem to come before you parted ways?" Danny said.
"Ahh Pei Pei patted her forehead.
It was only then that she remembered that when she parted ways with Old Leme at the fork in the plain road, she invited Old Lime to the lodge as a guest.
Tong GuΓ² last time the old lady at home had an oolong treat, Pei Pei knew that the polite words of the Chinese would not work here for foreigners. You may be a kind word, but in the United States, people will not treat you as a fake politeness. Therefore, if Pei Pei really doesn't take her invitation seriously, she may not be able to lose the good reputation she has worked so hard to build in the town!
After Pei Pei reacted, she immediately asked Joey for the phone number of Old Lem's grocery store, and after breakfast, she directly called Old Lem's contact number and invited Old Lime to come to the villa tonight.
Agreed with Old Lem for tonight's guest time, and Pei Pei hung up the phone and called Reese again.
After explaining to Reese why she couldn't go back to Silicon Valley today, Peipei hung up the phone, and then she calmly held her laptop and booked a return ticket for tomorrow online.
At seven o'clock in the evening, old Lyme came to visit on time.
First, I took Old Lyme to visit the residence of the Golden Eagle couple by the lake, and then satisfied Old Lyme's wish to touch the head of the wolf king, and the dinner time officially began.
After a happy dinner for the guests and the hosts, Pei Pei drove Old Lime out of the gate of the cottage with Joey, the director of the villa. At this point, Pei Pei can finally go back to her room to rest.
After practicing, I woke up to the dawn of the dayβ
After Pei Pei finished washing, she directly packed her luggage, and then went downstairs with her packed luggage.
While eating breakfast, Joey arranged for Wolf to drive the owner to Bozeman's airport.
Before leaving, Pei Pei also reminded Joey not to forget to go to Bozeman's airplane driving school to sign up for a helicopter license, and of course, not to forget to add a helicopter to the villa.
Joey nodded yes and promised to get all these things done in a few days.
At this time, two horns sounded outside the house, and it was supposed that Wolf had driven the car out of the garage. After saying a final goodbye to the people of the lodge, Pei Pei left the main house with her simple luggage, and saw Wolf waiting outside the door of the house in her red Wrangler.
Pei Pei put the suitcase in the back seat, then sat in the passenger seat, and left Koizumi Villa under the eyes of everyone.
A little more than an hour later, Pei Pei boarded her plane at Bozeman Airport. Before getting on the plane, she dialed Reese's cell phone and told her to pick up someone at the San Jose airport on time.
At 2:20 p.m., Pei Pei finally returned to her apartment in Palo Alto.
