Chapter 33: Rejection
After a brief conversation, the diners in the store couldn't help but talk about topics related to Lao Hantou - most of the people who eat cold skin here are old customers, there are small traders in the farmers' market and the fairy bridge, as well as stevedores working in the market.
"Hey, doesn't Lao Hantou have an apprentice, just this year, Wen Shuo, the top student in the college entrance examination in our East Y County, often went to the Xianren Bridge to play when he was a child, and Lao Hantou taught him a lot. ”
"What, the top student in the college entrance examination, can you learn this?"
"That's it, Wen Shuo used to be young and ignorant, just playing blindly with the old Han, have you seen Wen Shuo come to the Immortal Bridge in the past few years?"
"But why did the old Han Tou leave the old mansion to Wen Shuo?"
"Yes, if it wasn't for the master-apprentice relationship, why leave the old mansion to him, I think, people have already kowtowed and burned incense in private. ”
It is also strange to say that Liu Papi, the head of the big village of Liujiaying, was not greedy in this matter, and he didn't eat the fat to his mouth, and he took the initiative to help him, and transferred the old house of the old Han Tou to Wen Shuo's name, and for this reason, he also left Wen Shuo's household registration in Liujiaying in advance. I heard that a few days ago, the old house was built over the courtyard wall to repair the yard, and Village Chief Liu was busy with it, but he was really interested......"
"Hey, this thing, you have to look at Zhuang Yuanlang's mother, a person in his early forties, right? He looks like a twenty-seven or eighty-eight daughter-in-law, that body, tsk......"
"You mean, Village Chief Liu and Li Qin ......?"
"I didn't say anything!"
"Don't be foolish!" A stout man glared at the bull's eye and scolded: "Be careful to go home and rot your mouth! After so many years, who in Sanxiang Wuli doesn't know what kind of person Li Qin is, chewing his tongue behind his back and spreading rumors about a poor widow, you really do it!" The big man with a sense of justice snorted heavily after scolding, and when he saw that the other party was embarrassed and no longer squeaked, he also felt that he was a little too much, so he explained: " Hey, I heard that after the old Han Tou died, Liu Mao and his family have been restless in those days, and often cry for his father and mother in the middle of the night, and the people in the village said that their house was haunted, and it was the old Han Tou who came to the door, so Liu Papi had to take the initiative to find Wen Shuo, help Wen Shuo settle the household, and transfer the old house to Wen Shuo's name. ”
Another man chimed in: "It seems that this is really the case, some villagers saw it in those two days, Liu Maohe drove a motorcycle and invited Wen Shuo to his house, and he also went to the old house, and also went to the river embankment to grave the old Han's head." ”
"Don't you dare to talk nonsense!" a man next to him booed, looking out warily.
Inside, there was silence immediately.
Everyone looked around cautiously, as if they were really afraid that it was Liu Maohe who was coming.
After listening to everyone's discussion just now, Tian Musheng noticed that Qi Dechang, who seemed to be eating cold skin without saying a word, lowered his head and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, but the speed of eating cold skin and baked cakes was much faster.
Returning to the car after the meal, Qi Dechang sighed and ordered: "Since Han Kehu Immortal has passed away, Mu Sheng, you go and make sure that Wen Shuo is not Han Kehu's apprentice." If it's true, ask him to try it...... Oh yes, Wen Shuo is the top student in the college entrance examination, you pay attention to the impact, even if he is really the apprentice of Old Hantou, he may not be willing to admit it. ”
"Okay. Tian Musheng responded.
"There are still a lot of things in the company, so I'll go back first. ”
"Don't worry, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Tian Musheng pushed the car door and got out of the car, and after watching the Mercedes-Benz sedan drive away, he turned around and walked towards Liujiaying Village.
......
At almost two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qin went to work.
As soon as Wen Shuo locked the bedroom door, preparing to further practice and consolidate the combing state of the fine veins in his eyes when he opened the Heavenly Eye in the morning, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
He had to go out and open the door, thinking that his mother had forgotten to bring something. I didn't want to open the door, but I saw Liu Maohe standing outside the door with a smile on his face, and beside him, there was a man with a comb on his back, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes, with a smile on his face.
"Village Chief Liu, is there something wrong?" Wen Shuo frowned and asked-although Liu Maohe had performed quite well during this period of time, not only took the initiative to help him fight and get out of trouble, donated money, and explained a lot for Wen Shuo during the interview, Wen Shuo was still unwilling to have more contact with this veritable village tyrant, and he hated it in his heart.
"Xiao Shuo, let me introduce you" Liu Maohe said with a respectful face: "This is the assistant to the chairman of Linguan Dechang Group, deputy general manager Tian Mu Shengtian, he came here and asked me to help introduce him to visit the top prize of the college entrance examination in Linguan City this year." ”
"Oh. Wen Shuo hurriedly took the initiative to shake hands with Tian Musheng, and politely invited: "Please come in, please come in." ”
After taking a seat in the living room, Wen Shuo was busy making tea and pouring water.
"Are you at home by yourself?" asked Tian Musheng casually.
"Well, my mom just went to work. Wen Shuo finished making the tea, then pulled over a chair and sat opposite Tian Musheng. In my heart, I already have a little excitement and expectation - I thought that the limelight of my college entrance examination champion had passed, but I never thought that school would start soon, and someone would come to visit...... Of course, it's a gift of money.
Johnson Group?
It sounds like a great look, how much will it be given?
Tian Musheng had already considered that it was convenient for Wen Shuo to talk at home, so he delayed until two o'clock and asked Liu Maohe to bring him.
"Wen Shuo. Tian Musheng smiled and asked: "I heard that you are not only the top student in the college entrance examination, but also have an unknown identity in private, hidden in the wild, the old immortal Han Kehu, who has always set up a stall on the Immortal Bridge, is your master, right?"
"Huh?" Wen Shuo was stunned and looked at Liu Maohe with a frown.
Liu Maohe was dumbfounded, and when he noticed Wen Shuo's gaze, he immediately stood up nervously, shook his head and waved his hand, and said, "Shuo, I didn't say anything...... That's not what I said, hey, Mr. Tian, how do you know?"
Tian Musheng smiled silently, with a touch of joy in his eyes.
Wen Shuo can't wait to slap Liu Maohe with big ears, this idiot! Since you didn't say it, you pretend not to know!
Isn't this kind of performance three hundred miles of silver here?
After Liu Maohe hurriedly explained, he suddenly realized that he had done something stupid, and quickly sat down and leaned next to Tian Musheng, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tian, this matter can't be nonsense, Wen Shuo is the champion of this year's college entrance examination, and his academic performance is top, where can he be the apprentice of the old Han Tou, learn those superstitious things?"
Wen Shuo shook his head helplessly, Liu Maohe, ah Liu Maohe, stupid!
The darker it gets!
He had to smile bitterly and said, "Mr. Tian, I don't know what the relationship between you and Old Hantou is, but I am not Lao Hantou's apprentice." I used to be young, and I often ran to the fairy bridge to play, but the old Han Tou taught me to draw talismans and recite spells...... But after I went to high school, to be exact, since the third year of junior high school, I stopped going to Xianren Bridge, and I also understood that those superstitious things were useless, so I never studied again, and now I have forgotten all about it. ”
Tian Musheng waved his hand, took out a soft Chinese cigarette and lit one, and said indifferently: "Let's make a long story short, our group is in the mining area of Shuangnu Mountain in Qingping County, and a series of strange things have happened recently. When I went to Dongyun this time, I wanted to invite your master Han Kehu to go, but I didn't expect him to be gone. I had to come to you to go to the Shuangnu Mountain mining area to set up an altar. Of course, we will pay you handsomely when it is done. ”
Wen Shuo has always had something to say, and he also likes to go straight and not talk nonsense, but now, Tian Musheng is a little fast-talking......
How so?
Overbearing.
It made Wen Shuo a little difficult to adapt for a while, and he felt very uncomfortable.
So he shook his head and said, "Mr. Tian, I'm not Lao Hantou's apprentice, and I don't know how to do it, so you might as well ask another master." ”
"I know your concerns, and I can understand it, after all, you are the champion of the college entrance examination, and if you do these superstitious things, you will inevitably worry about being laughed at. Tian Musheng smiled, took out an envelope from the briefcase he was carrying, put it on the coffee table, and said, "There are 10,000 yuan here, and after the matter is completed, there will be more!" Or, you can put forward the conditions now, how much does it cost?"
Wen Shuo shook his head, but his heart was entangled - okay, this is to make a fortune?!
"You should know very well that with your family conditions, even if you have received some donations and rewards from all sides, the necessary expenses for a few years to go to college in the capital are also a great burden. Tian Musheng leaned back on the sofa with a calm expression, tilted his face and smoked a cigarette and said, "Now the opportunity has come, as long as you do this, the reward you get is enough for you to spend the past few years in college." ”
Wen Shuo, who was still a little surprised, excited, and apprehensive, thinking about how to accept it tactfully, and then have more benefits, looked at Tian Musheng's arrogant, confident, and confident appearance, and suddenly thought of Bai Jingzhe's words and deeds when he paid him in front of everyone on the day he graduated from high school, and thought of the expressions of many classmates that day......
"I'm sorry, you're looking for the wrong person!" Wen Shuo got up to see off the guest: "Mr. Tian, you better invite another Gao Ming." ”
Tian Musheng was stunned, frowned and said: "Wen Shuo, this set of reed fishing tricks, don't perform it in front of me, what are the conditions, you can say it directly...... And the matter in the mining area is very urgent, I don't have time for you to do Tai Chi here. Let's say, once I walk out now, you're going to miss this opportunity!
"Well, go find someone else. Wen Shuo's expression froze.
He's really angry now!
"You ......" Tian Musheng was furious, in the Linguan area all these years, although he had lowered his profile and begged for help, he had never hit a wall, that is, dealing with officials from those government departments, and no one had rejected his request so mercilessly and categorically. What's more, today he also gave generous conditions.
Feel free to mention it!
To put it bluntly, that is, as much as Wen Shuo wants, he can give.
