Chapter 138: Secret Fight
The three of them packed up and were ready to hit the road. When he went out, Lao Liu hired a carriage. They made an appointment to send it to the county seat dozens of miles away, and then they changed to a train to go to the provincial capital.
The carriage was dusty all the way, and it had just walked less than ten miles when it caught up with a white sedan from behind. Although the style is not very beautiful, in the Republic of China a hundred years ago, it was already a symbol of local tyrants.
"Young master, a car is catching up"!
The little garden looked out through the window of the carriage, and did not feel alarmed and worried. I probably heard that Young Master Fang Yan has an opponent who has been trying to find fault.
"What's the panic? On the main road, each goes its own way, and has nothing to do with each other."
Lao Liu, who has a lot of experience, doesn't care about this at all.
"The car looked like it was coming at us, and lo and behold, it had already overtaken us and stopped in front of us!"
Before Xiao Yuanzi could finish speaking, the car had stopped abruptly in front of their carriage, two meters away. Fortunately, it was an experienced driver who drove the car, otherwise the horse would have been frightened and out of control. The coachman tightened his grip on the reins and kept saying the word "pause" in his mouth, and the horse let out a long howl and finally stopped all four hooves.
The situation changed abruptly, and the calm old Liu was no longer stubborn, he lifted the curtain and looked out.
"Lao Liu, what's going on"?
Fang Yan asked suspiciously, but Lao Liu didn't answer for the time being, staring straight at the car. Soon, the door opened, and a man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out. He took off a pair of gold-rimmed sunglasses and walked towards Fang Yan's carriage with a smile.
"Hehe, it turned out to be Dr. Ling! What a coincidence! ”
Lao Liu smiled perfunctorily and greeted the other party.
"Steward Liu, has you always been good? Haha, the weather is good today, and it is even more joyful to be able to meet the deceased on the road! Excuse me, but accompany Mr. Fang to the provincial capital"?
Ling Haotian said as he leaned towards the carriage, and when he approached, he deliberately lifted the curtain of the carriage to peek into the interior scene.
"Our young master is going to the provincial capital...... There is business to discuss".
Lao Liu didn't know Ling Haotian's intentions, so he told a lie. After Ling Haotian heard this, he smiled heartily.
"Let Mr. Fang come down, and send the guy who drove the car back."
Ling Haotian's words, Lao Liu was deeply puzzled after hearing this, and looked at him again, as if he had seen him for the first time.
"Doctor Ling, is there anything important? It doesn't have to be like this, just say it if you have something to say."
Fang Yan finally spoke, and he quickly speculated in his heart about Ling Haotian's possible intentions.
"Haha, I don't have anything important. It's just that I want to do something good. I happen to be going to the provincial capital as well, so I can take a few of you with me."
After Ling Haotian said this, Xiao Yuanzi, who was sitting in the carriage, almost jumped up with excitement.
"Yes, yes! I haven't been in a car since I'm so old!"
Xiao Yuanzi clapped his hands and applauded, and wanted to help Fang Yan out of the carriage as he spoke. Fang Yan is calm and steady, and he will deal with emergencies calmly.
"Doctor Ling, if I'm not mistaken, you're going to the hospital again, right?"
"Oh? Haha, Mr. Fang is worthy of being a Confucian businessman who reads poetry and books. These blind eyes can't stop the clarity of their hearts! The insight of the heart is really beyond ordinary people, and I really admire it!"
Ling Haotian used words of praise for Fang Yan, but Fang Yan shook his head and smiled faintly.
"Doctor Ling has praised me, compared to you, I am just a superficial apprentice."
Fang Yan said humbly.
"Hey! I said, how many of you still can't leave? If you don't leave, I'll pay the fare, so I'll go back and work again."
The coachman was a little anxious, and he urged.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fang will settle the bill for you right away."
Ling Haotian answered the coachman's words for Fang Yan and his party. Fang Yan smiled again, and then ordered: "Lao Liu, pay the fare." Little garden, help me down."
Lao Liu did so and quickly paid the fare, and Xiao Yuanzi was also very happy to help Fang Yan out of the carriage. After that, he carried down the two large suitcases, but fortunately, Ling Haotian's car had enough space.
After getting into the car, Xiao Yuanzi sat in the co-pilot's seat. Fang Yan was accompanied by Lao Liu and sat in the back row. In the gap between the two rows, two large boxes were stuffed, making Fang Yan's legs a little uncomfortable. When he is away from home, he can tolerate this. The only thing that made his heart jam was that Ling Haotian and a doctor had all driven in the car, but he, a businessman, still had to go out to take a carriage.
"Lao Liu, when you go to the provincial capital this time, you must help me pick a good car and buy it back."
"Ahh
Lao Liu habitually agreed, but was stunned in an instant. Fang Yan's words were indeed too sudden, he was a blind man, and he actually wanted to buy a car and come back?
"Young Master, isn't this decision too impatient"?
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago, after being busy for a while, I quickly bought the car back. That's it, this time there will be no delay, and you must drive a car when you come back. Be sure to be the most expensive, the best".
Fang Yan competed with Ling Haotian from the bottom of his heart, and it seemed that he was bound to buy one that surpassed Ling Haotian in order to be satisfied. Perhaps this is the nature of many men, not to compare, but to maintain a spirit.
"If Mr. Fang really wants to buy a car, then Ling is not talented, and he is willing to help you choose. In the past ten years abroad, I have seen and driven a lot of them, all of which are new models of the year. Before I returned, I lost three of them. This one just drove from home in the last few days."
The momentum with which Ling Haotian spoke once again overwhelmed Fang Yan. Lao Liu on the side just wanted to laugh, watching the two men who are very good in their respective fields talking like this, it was really "enjoyable".
"Oh, good, okay".
Fang Yan nodded and said weakly.
"Excuse me, Dr. Ling's family...... What do you do for a living?"
Lao Liu changed the topic in order to alleviate the embarrassing scene, but he never thought about it, and this did not give Fang Yan much face. Ling Haotian's family is wealthy, and there is no shortage of gold and silver.
"Uh...... The family background is average, but there are only three foreign cloth factories, five silk villages, and 100 acres of cultivated land in the countryside."
After Ling Haotian's brief description of his family background, the light on Fang Yan's face instantly dimmed, and he lowered his head slightly.
"Doctor Ling, may I ask...... How much is the monthly salary of doing a handyman in your house?"
Xiao Yuanzi was curious, and couldn't help but ask Ling Haotian. Fang Yan, who was sitting in the back row, had an even more ugly face.
"Lao Liu, has Xiaoyuanzi's salary been set? We must register and make a register, and pay wages on time at the beginning of each month, which is absolutely the highest in the industry, and will never be in arrears."
Fang Yan instructed Lao Liu, and at the same time, he deliberately said it to Ling Haotian like an advertisement. For a while, the secret fight between the two men really seemed like a good show. Presumably, Yun Qilan was present and would definitely be impressed.
"Mr. Fang is really a good person, but it's a pity that this vision is ...... Ay! I remember telling you last time, be mentally prepared."
Ling Haotian changed his words, pausing to compare himself with Fang Yan, and instead led the topic to Fang Yan's eyesight.
"Of course, I don't have much chance of winning, I'm well prepared."
"That's good, I hope you can have a successful operation this time."
"Ahh Do you know that my young master is going to have surgery?"
Lao Liu interjected.
"He already knew".
Fang Yan replied to Lao Liu's question unhurriedly. Read the latest chapter of "Villa Rain and Wind Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
