Chapter 359: An Unexpected Arrival
After lunch, Amanda and Caroline came to invite Liang Shiqi to do great health care. Liang Shiqi was inconvenient to refuse, so she had to reluctantly kiss Xu Wenlong goodbye, and went with them.
As soon as Liang Shiqi left, Wen Li immediately became relaxed and comfortable. There is no restraint, let alone any scruples, and the whole child looks like the only one in the world. She tilted her head and commented on the beautiful objects in the suite, and for a while she was fascinated by it, and at last, as if remembering something important, she ran to her room without warning, and slammed the door behind her.
Xu Wenlong shrugged his shoulders and continued to drink a little wine to himself. Liang Shiqiqi is gone, and the time for fitness has not yet arrived, so he doesn't know what to do for a while.
Wen Li chattered in the room for a while, and then walked out with a smile and a sigh of relief.
Xu Wenlong glanced at her casually, lowered his head and gently sipped the wine.
When Wen Li saw it, she couldn't help but become angry, and pointed at Xu Wenlong angrily: "What's wrong with you?" If you don't look at others, are you thinking about how to bully others in your heart? ”
Xu Wenlong frowned, and said with a wry smile: "If you want to go out to play, just say it, don't mess around here, I'm afraid you can't do it?" ”
"That's pretty much it." Wen Li turned her anger into joy, waved her hand and said as if she was very kind, "Okay, you just drink your wine here, and I'll go outside for a walk." ”
"Go, go, I don't need you to accompany me." Xu Wenlong wished that Wen Li would leave early, so he waved his hand and said to her like a plague god.
"Alright, I'll go." When Wen Li heard this, she pulled her feet and ran. As soon as she ran to the door, she hesitated and turned her head again, and said to Xu Wenlong with a vigilant face, "I can tell you, the girl has a lot of eyes and secrets, so you can't just enter my room." Otherwise...... Otherwise, I won't be ......."
"Don't worry, I'...... I won't come into your room. Xu Wenlong snorted, and a mouthful of old wine almost squirted out. This is simply a big joke, just with her messy and messy 'pig's nest', even if she uses eight sedan chairs to invite, it is estimated that no one wants to go in, let alone sneak in? But you can't say it directly, you just think about it in your heart.
"I guess you won't!" Wen Li looked at Xu Wenlong with a fluctuating gaze, and said in a slightly threatening and intimidating tone, "After all, you are a big man, you don't lie to children, and you always talk the talk." Otherwise, I will always look down on you in my heart. Let's go, you can do it yourself. ”
"Walk slowly, don't send it!" Xu Wenlong casually agreed, his eyes glanced at Wen Li's messy bedroom with the door wide open, and then at her light figure who walked away quickly, and then lowered his head and drank slowly.
Drink slowly, with a sound of energy, thoughts flying, and a lot of emotion. Xu Wenlong sipped a glass of wine lightly while recalling his bizarre experience. From the little-known poor boy in the mountain village to the extraordinary "Shadow" special combat team, from the foreign pioneer who has nothing and lives in the ocean, to the lucky one who has a beautiful woman and is worth a lot of money, of course, including the graceful Aunt Guo Yanping and Guo, the siblings Yang Yingying and Li Jing, as well as the overseas rescue and the desperate struggle to the death in the demon cave, it can be described as complicated and chaotic. It wasn't until more than an hour later, when the wine glass had bottomed out, that he put away his mood as if he was in another world, got up and put the leftover half bottle of Moutai back in the wine cabinet.
Bell bell bell ...... A pleasant doorbell rang, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the room.
"Please come in
! Xu Wenlong looked back in amazement and looked at the lingering doorbell in a daze. Got a visitor? That's amazing! Who could it be? Doesn't seem like anyone will come to visit you, right? Especially during this lunch break. Could it be that the naughty Wen Li went and returned, and wanted to have a hard time with herself?
The door opened silently, and a bloodless head with unkempt hair poked in.
"Mr. Zhou? It turned out to be you! Come in, come in! Xu Wenlong was surprised and couldn't put down the wine bottle, and hurriedly greeted the visiting Zhou Jiuhua. The visitor is a guest, although he does not know what his purpose is and what the purpose of his trip is.
"I'm really sorry to disturb Manager Xu!" Zhou Jiuhua wiped the sweat dripping down his forehead, and walked into the room with a side side and fear.
"It's okay, you don't have to be formal. Come, please sit inside. Xu Wenlong let Zhou Jiuhua into the living room, raised the Moutai wine in his hand and said, "Drinking?" How about a drink? ”
"No, no, no, don't bother Manager Xu!" Zhou Jiuhua hurriedly shook his hands and said with a bitter face, "Actually, the main reason I came this time was ...... Mainly......"
"You're welcome, sit down and have a drink." Xu Wenlong thought about it for a while, and then understood Zhou Jiuhua's intention. So he quickly poured two glasses of wine, handed one to him, and said, "Come on, come on, drink first, drink first." ”
Zhou Jiuhua excused himself to no avail, so he had to pick up the wine glass and touch it with Xu Wenlong, and then raised his neck and drank a fine light.
"Good amount of alcohol!" Xu Wenlong cheered, also picked up the cup and drank it all, then grabbed the wine bottle and poured two more glasses.
Zhou Jiuhua swallowed a glass of old wine, his face suddenly turned ruddy, and his depressed expression became much more relaxed. He no longer strongly prevented Xu Wenlong from adding wine to himself, and after only a slight excuse, he said to him: "Manager Xu, I'll just say it directly, the so-called nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, I mainly want to ...... this time"
Xu Wenlong waved his hand, snatched his words and said, "Mr. Zhou doesn't have to apologize, let alone blame himself. In fact, it should be me who says I'm sorry, after all, Wen Li is my waiter. She is so stubborn and ignorant that she has caused you so much trouble, it is really helpless and speechless! ”
"What did Manager Xu say? That's ...... How embarrassing! Zhou Jiuhua never expected that Xu Wenlong would apologize to himself first, so he was in a hurry to speak again, "What do you say?" In a word...... In short, it's all my fault, I shouldn't ...... She shouldn't have been let ...... in public Let her ......"
"Forget it, let's stop talking about these disappointments, let alone dwell on the question of who is right and who is wrong." Xu Wenlong didn't want to embarrass Zhou Jiuhua anymore, so he raised his glass and put aside the topic, "It's better to drink a bar." ”
When Zhou Jiuhua heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xu Wenlong, until he found that the other party was indeed sincere, without the slightest trace of falsification. He nodded emphatically, picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Manager Xu is well aware of things and has a large amount of magnanimity, which makes me admire someone Zhou." Come on, come on, drink happily, I'll do it first! With that, he quickly raised his head again and drank a glass of wine until there was no more left.
"Mr. Zhou has won the prize!" Xu Wenlong smiled modestly and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
After two rounds of drinking, Zhou Jiuhua's words have become more, talking about everything, boasting, and talking, obviously drinking a thousand glasses of wine with a confidant, and talking about three nights of speculation.
Xu Wenlong is not good at talking, and he is not familiar with each other, so he rarely interjects, let alone takes the initiative to find topics, and only listens with interest on the side
Make move. After listening to the words a lot, he actually found some strange phenomena in them. For example, Zhou Jiuhua seems to be very happy, but every time he is speaking, he will always unconsciously wander, accompanied by a slight and imperceptible sigh. Also, what he talks about is basically related to the official eunuch field, and most of them are little-known anecdotes. After listening to it, people are either amazed, or stunned, or sighing, or surprised.
"Could it be that he is a high-ranking official in a prominent position in China? How is this possible? Does he have that long to travel? Facing Zhou Jiuhua, who was foaming at the mouth, Xu Wenlong couldn't help but think secretly in his heart, and at the same time developed a strong interest and strong curiosity about him.
After telling the anecdote of a chief and deputy official who was jealous and fought because of the wind, Zhou Jiuhua lowered his head and took a sip of wine, then looked at Xu Wenlong with a smile and said, "It's not that I underestimate you, you are definitely not an official, at least not in China!" Because you are straightforward and honest, you are not good at blowing, you are not scheming, and you do not have the nature of observing your face and seeing the wind and steering the rudder. is destined to be played with by others, and even will be played dizzy and unable to distinguish things. ”
Xu Wenlong had the painful past of his father Xu Shichang's entrepreneurship and the embarrassing experience of seeking a career after retiring, so he deeply agreed with Zhou Jiuhua's comments and was even more speechless. He nodded with a deep sigh, and said with a wry smile: "I actually don't have the foundation of politics, let alone the heart of politics. ”
"That's not necessarily a bad thing! At least live a relaxed life and sleep peacefully. There are no nightmares, no fear of involvement, and no need to worry about the pain of shackles and prison sentences that come from time to time. Just like me...... It's like ...... me" Zhou Jiuhua said as he spoke, suddenly realizing that he had missed his mouth, and in a hurry, he pretended to be stupid and laughed a few times, and there was no more follow-up in his mouth.
Xu Wenlong's heart moved, and he felt that this was an opportunity to explore the other party's roots, so he pretended to be curious and asked, "Just like you?" Like what's wrong? Could it be that Mr. Zhou is also an official? That seems unlikely. ”
Zhou Jiuhua was shocked when he heard this, and his originally bright eyes suddenly became dim and gray. He raised his eyes and looked at Xu Wenlong in a daze, and only sighed for a while and said, "Alas, the past is unbearable, so don't say it." ”
"In that case, let's not talk about that. Come on, keep drinking. The reason why Xu Wenlong wanted to find out the details of Zhou Jiuhua was originally out of curiosity for a while, and he didn't really want to make friends with him. Now seeing that the other party was speechless, his expression was embarrassed, and it was obvious that he had something unspeakable, so he went downhill and stopped asking.
Zhou Jiuhua looked at Xu Wenlong silently, his eyes were extremely strange and complicated. He lowered his head and took a heavy sip of wine, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Xu Wenlong: "The so-called wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and the words are not speculative for more than half a sentence. Although I don't dare to call you a friend and confidant, I respect you for being frank, open-minded, and straightforward, plus you drank happily today. Therefore, I will simply confess my heart to you and tell me my details. ”
Xu Wenlong saw that he looked solemn, so he quickly put down his wine glass and replied: "Mr. Zhou is serious, just drinking and chatting, in fact, I don't mean to listen to you." So, if Mr. Zhou thinks it's inappropriate, I think it's better not to say it. ”
"It's nothing, anyway, it's here, it's done, it doesn't matter what you say or do." Zhou Jiuhua drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, grabbed the wine bottle and unceremoniously filled it for himself, and then said to Xu Wenlong with a smug face, "What's more, I am already on the high seas now, far away from the motherland, so there is nothing to worry about." ”
