Chapter 245: Apprenticeship
When that shout fell, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind Ningxia, and Ningxia instinctively turned around and found that it was Cheng Shuo.
"I'll send you down." Cheng Shuo said to Ningxia with a bright smile on his face.
Ningxia was really surprised, she didn't understand how Cheng Shuo left so many important people, but she ran over to see her off, and hurriedly said, "I know you're busy, we can just walk by ourselves, it's not that children don't know the way, you can go back quickly." ”
Cheng Shuo still said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's really rude, I'll let Xiao Li send you down." After speaking, he called his secretary and told her to send Ningxia away. And then he went back.
While waiting for the elevator, Ningxia heard Cheng Shuo's reprimand from Cheng Shuo's office, thinking that he was slow to treat the old man. made Ningxia feel uneasy, and at this time, he added a good impression of Cheng Shuo in his heart.
The elevator has not been able to wait, and Ningxia is not willing to spend time on this floor, so it turns to the stairs and waits for the elevator on the next floor.
That Xiao Li has been with her, she should have misunderstood, seeing that Cheng Shuo attaches great importance to Ningxia, thinking that Ningxia is Cheng Shuo's girlfriend, a strong set is almost, Toon finally got tired of listening to it, and directly said that Xiao Li talked too much, which made Xiao Li very embarrassed.
Ningxia glanced at Toon, and then smiled and talked to Xiao Li to relieve her embarrassment. There is a lot of pressure in the workplace, and she has also worked as a small staff member in other people's companies, and she also knows that this small staff is really not very easy to mix.
Xiao Li saw that Ningxia was very good-tempered, so she continued to talk to her, and lowered her voice to introduce the Cheng family to Ningxia, what is the middle-aged man who said in the office that Ningxia is the illegitimate son of the old man Cheng, what is the old man Cheng, who wants to marry a woman named Si Rou, that woman, has a son who was born sick and can't see the sun, and is more than forty years old in the future, but she looks like a big girl in her twenties.
Ningxia listened to it at first, but it wasn't until he heard the familiar name that he suddenly focused his attention.
Si Rou? Isn't that the name she'd heard from Hood? It is said to be Hood's younger sister. In addition, why is this Si Rou portrayed by Xiao Li so much like Mu Bai's mother?
Before, when she was bidding farewell to Nie Chen, she happened to meet Mu Bai and his mother at the airport, and heard the airport security inspector call Mu Bai's mother "Ms. Si".
Ningxia was not interested in anything else, the only thing that was interested was that Mu Bai's mother had a grudge with her grandfather, and her father Ning Yuan, so she paid special attention to this woman.
It was not easy to wait for the elevator, but Ningxia was not in a hurry to leave Lishang, but asked Xiao Li if there was a café in the building, and she wanted to invite her to a cup of coffee.
It's rare for someone to buy it, and Xiao Li looked like she couldn't ask for it, but soon she showed a regretful expression and said, "I'm still at work, I hope I can have time to sit with Miss Ning in the future." ”
Ningxia chuckled and said, "Isn't it easy to want time?" Wait. After saying that, she immediately called Cheng Shuo, saying that she suddenly wanted to stay until noon and wait for him to invite dinner, so she would trouble his secretary to accompany her around Lishang, is it okay?
Cheng Shuo happily agreed, and asked Ningxia to hand over the phone to Xiao Li, I don't know what he said to Xiao Li, that Xiao Li was very happy.
Hung up the phone, Xiao Li accompanied Ningxia to the café downstairs, the three of them sat down together, Ningxia tried to get some useful information from Xiao Li's mouth, but the result was in vain, no more useful information was obtained, it was all extremely boring gossip.
After listening to it for so long, Toon didn't have much patience anymore, and his mood was a little annoyed, and he sneered and said to that Xiao Li, "You are a new employee who has not been in the company for a long time, and if you talk in the company or something in the future, you should pay attention, if you go on like this, you don't even know how to lose your job." ”
Xiao Li understood that Toon was thinking that she was talking too much, her face was slightly red, and she looked a little embarrassed, so she lowered her head and said, "I also know that I talk a lot, but I can't control my mouth." ”
Ningxia still thinks that toon is making a big fuss, how others live and survive is someone else's business, looking at this Xiao Li is twenty-five or sixteen years old, he hasn't been in this company for a year or two, such a big mouth, but he can still survive in this company, there must still be her workplace survival rules.
In addition, Ningxia thought of another sentence, "What kind of leader, what kind of subordinates." Although that Cheng Shuo is not as big as Xiao Li, he thinks that he should still have a good temper, otherwise he would not let such a heartless secretary beside him.
Thinking like this, Ningxia naturally asked, asking Xiao Li, is Cheng Shuo good-tempered in the company? That Xiao Li immediately nodded affirmatively, confirmed Ningxia's guess, and said a bunch of good things about Cheng Shuo.
Toon listened to it on the side, the corners of his mouth were about to turn into eighty thousand, and he was very disdainful of Xiao Li's descriptions.
Ningxia was most interested in the woman named "Si Rou" that Xiao Li said, and he didn't want to sit down after hearing about that woman.
As soon as Xiao Li heard that Ningxia was leaving, her face changed, and the general manager clearly explained that she would accompany Ningxia well, and wait until he had time to come, and if she couldn't complete the task, she would be happy to be weird, and hurriedly said, "Did I say the wrong thing?" Didn't you say that you would wait for the general manager to come over? Why are you going to leave again? ”
Ningxia smiled, "You are very good, you really think of something to do, your general manager, I will explain it clearly, he should be happy to have a good staff like you." ”
Ningxia said this, and Xiao Li had no choice but to say goodbye to Ningxia.
As soon as he left Lishang, Toon asked Ningxia, "What do you want to know about the Cheng family?" Just ask me, I know a lot of things. If you don't know, I can also find someone to investigate, what Xiao Li said may not be true. ”
Ningxia didn't answer Toon's words, and instead asked, "What is the name of the woman who kidnapped me on Jade Street that time, do you know?" ”
Toon reacted violently and exclaimed, "Ah, don't you say that I really forgot about that woman, the Si Rou that Xiao Li said could really be that woman, there are many people with the same name and surname in this world, it is not unusual, but there is a son who can't see the sun, and then a woman who looks like a goblin, it is designated as the same person." Speaking of this, Toon immediately began to think, and said with a big change in his face, "That Si Rou was kidnapped by the Cheng family at the behest of the Cheng family, and their Cheng family's Lishang has always been our number one opponent." ”
Ningxia frowned, funny in his heart, this toon is really rich in imagination, and has the potential to be a writer. "It's not that exaggerated, how did we meet that Si Rou, you don't know, don't think about it, it's two different things."
Toon shrugged his nose and thought about it for a while, but he still felt that Ningxia's words made sense, so he didn't speculate.
When the two of them arrived at the parking lot, they just picked up the car and were about to leave, when Cheng Shuo's phone called, asking Ningxia why he broke his promise again, and said that he would invite him to dinner.
Ningxia replied with a smile, "I didn't say that I wouldn't let you have a treat at noon, it's a temporary matter at this time, go back and deal with it, you booked a place at noon, and then call me?" ”
Cheng Shuo on the other side of the phone smiled, said hello, and decided like this.
"I don't like that Cheng Shuo, I always feel that he approached you with ulterior motives." Toon was a little unhappy when she heard that Ningxia still agreed to eat with Cheng Shuo.
Ningxia disagreed, if Cheng Shuo had ulterior motives, she had ulterior intentions for approaching him, and if she wanted to use it, it would be mutual. She is now interested in the woman named Si Rou, who let that woman have a holiday with their family? I don't want to bring up the grievances between the woman and her grandfather and father before, but since she already knows that the woman is an enemy of their family, she has to be more or less guarded, especially since she has a history of being kidnapped by that woman, and she has to mention more about that woman. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
At noon, Ningxia waited for Cheng Shuo's invitation, and she really went to the appointment, and she didn't shirk it again, but the person who went was not herself, and she brought toons and grasshoppers.
Cheng Shuo was slightly disappointed when he saw that Ningxia was coming with two other people, but it was only a momentary emotion, and soon he was talking and laughing. Thanks to Ningxia, let the Cheng family keep Lishang.
Ningxia smiled and said that Cheng Shuo was too polite, she earned a lot of silver, and she didn't give it to him for nothing, so why be so polite.
Cheng Shuo smiled, and then said something else, "In the morning, my grandfather has personally unraveled the piece of jadeite, and in the afternoon, he will personally take the material and start carving, my grandfather is also a famous master in the jade carving industry, and he has not shown his skills for many years, I have always wanted to see it with my own eyes, it is rare that he is going out of the mountain again, I don't know if Miss Ning, if he is interested in going to see it." ”
Not to mention, Ningxia is really interested in this. She has always regretted that she does not know how to carve jade. When she was a child, her grandfather taught her, but at that time, she was too lively and active, for such a boring learning art, she was not interested in it at all, once, when learning carving, she was not attentive to cut her hand with a carving knife, after that, her mother Wang Jingyu did not let her touch the jade carving, saying that their family is no longer a jade workshop, those jade carvings or something, are all done by the workers, how can it not be her baby daughter's turn to do it herself.
Until now, Ningxia entered the jade and jade industry, and suddenly felt regretful, if I had learned a little from my grandfather before, it would be good, but unfortunately, it was too late.
When she watched Nie Chen process jadeite before, she was really envious of him, watching those beautiful jadeites slowly turn into exquisite jewelry under his skillful hands, that kind of sense of achievement, she always felt that it should be the most wonderful.
Thinking of this, Ningxia half-jokingly said to Cheng Shuo, "It's a pity if you just watch the old man carve, if the old man is willing to teach me all his skills, it will really be heartwarming and moving." ”
Cheng Shuo was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "I know that your grandfather is a famous jade carver, and he is ranked above my grandfather, why, hasn't he taught you those skills?" ”
Ningxia said with a wry smile, "It's not that he didn't teach, it's that I didn't want to learn when I was a child, and now I want to learn, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity." ”
Cheng Shuo nodded, his face showed a slight look of regret, he thought for a while before saying, "My grandfather has a very strange temper, and he refused to teach his apprentice brother for a long time, but our Cheng family descendants have been taught by him, even if they are not as skilled as his old man, but they are still two brushes, if you really want to learn jade carving, then it is better to worship me as a teacher, I am the one my grandfather has praised the most exquisite learning skills!" After speaking, Cheng Shuo laughed.
When Ningxia heard Cheng Shuo say this, she immediately called the waiter and asked her to make a pot of high-quality Longjing tea, and then she picked up the teacup and said to Cheng Shuo, "Then, I will pay homage to the master now!" "After that, I really have to do a great prostration.
Cheng Shuo originally said it casually, but he didn't expect Ningxia to really worship him as a teacher, he was really frightened, and hurriedly said to Ningxia, "Don't, where am I qualified to be your master." ”
Ningxia frowned slightly, she really wanted to learn art with an open mind, where to talk casually.
