Professor Li smiled and nodded, and then said the final answer.

Xiao Cheng was still affected by the bell, so there was a stereotype in his thinking, and he always felt that this bottle would be related to the sound of the bell. But in fact, in addition to being a bottle, its actual purpose is a hat rack. Therefore, in the meaning of these furnishings, it is a frame word. ”

Xue Qing clapped her hands and said, "I know, the frame is home." ”

Professor Li bowed his head slightly and continued: "In ancient times, people called the ornaments on their heads headcoats, and later there began to be four titles: crown, crown, ben, and curtain, and finally there was the term hat.

In fact, these names have their own subtle differences, referring to different head ornaments.

In fact, they are collectively referred to, and the strict term is still the headcoat.

In addition, in the ancient dialect of Huizhou, the saying of the head coat also covers the most extensive area.

So, when the hat is placed on the hat rack, it is a calm. ”

The three of them are smacking Professor Li's words, taking a word for clothes on their heads, a word for the hat rack, and a bottle and a mirror, isn't it a peaceful family?

After hearing the unfinished part of Professor Li's words, Cheng Yu asked: "Old Li, you specifically pointed out that when the hat was placed on the bottle, it meant that the family was peaceful, is that when the master went out, the hat was taken away by the owner, and there is another meaning?"

Professor Li nodded with a smile, picked up the purple clay pot without hurrying, took a sip of tea, and finally said: "Xiao Cheng does have the spirit of evidence, indeed, whether the hat is placed on the bottle or not, there is a meaning." But these two meanings are actually one, or just two different versions of the same meaning. ”

Seeing that Professor Li didn't seem to be in a hurry to announce the answer directly, Cheng Yu pondered carefully, wanting to find the answer by himself.

Mr. Carpenter and Xue Qing are the same, although they both hope that Professor Li will stop selling Guan Zi and say the answer directly, but since Professor Li is silent, they can only figure it out by themselves.

After a while, Cheng Yu said with some uncertainty: "The action of taking away the hat can be called taking off the hat, taking a word off, does it mean that the house is calm?"

Professor Li laughed, pointed at Cheng Yu twice, and said, "Xiao Cheng is really smart, he found the correct answer with a little hint."

Indeed, when the master comes back and the hat is placed on the hat rack, then the family stays at home neatly.

It's a family of peace.

And when the owner goes out, he cares about the house, which means that the house is calm.

You should all know that there are many businessmen in Huizhou, and most of the men do business abroad.

When he goes out, of course, he will hope that his house will be calm, so that it makes sense for him to run around and struggle.

This is also a blessing from Huizhou businessmen to their families.

However, as time has passed, the things placed on the table have changed, and modern people obviously want to express this meaning more directly.

As a result, there was a bell on the case, taking the meaning of the bell, and finally formed a lifelong peace of mind. ”

The three of them nodded in unison, and finally thoroughly understood the meaning of the decorations of the Huizhou people on the case.

After chatting a few more words, Professor Li looked at the time and said, "It's not early, let's have lunch together." Someone booked a table and banquet in Guangchun Building near the Old Summer Palace and invited everyone to go with them. ”

Cheng Yu was stunned, looked at Mr. Carpenter, and found that he was also stunned.

The two asked almost in unison, "Who booked the banquet?"

Professor Li smiled silently, just put down the purple clay pot, stood up, and walked towards the hall door with his hands behind his back.

Obviously, he didn't want to say that he wanted Cheng Yu and Mr. Carpenter to see it for themselves.

But Professor Li is obviously not the kind of person who doesn't know the depths, and he won't forcibly put some irrelevant people together, since he said that let Cheng Yu and Mr. Carpenter go together, it must be that the person who treats him will either simply know both of them, or at least be at a level.

So the two followed Professor Li and went out with Xue Qing.

Walking in the alley, Mr. Carpenter smiled and whispered, "Mr. Xiao Cheng, let's exchange contact information." ”

Cheng Yu hurriedly took out his mobile phone and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mu, it should have been me, a junior, who asked for your contact information." ”

Mr. Carpenter smiled and waved his hand, not minding these at all, and said, "Mr. Li didn't elaborate before, just said that a little friend also came to visit him, and I didn't bring a business card." This is my WeChat QR code, you can scan it. ”

Cheng Yu scanned Mr. Carpenter's WeChat and applied for a friend, and the other party quickly passed.

Although there is no exchange of phone numbers, in this society, WeChat can actually replace the function of the phone.

Even, because there is such a thing as a circle of friends on WeChat, you can see part of the other party's life status, but it seems more private than the phone number.

Many people have more than two WeChat, one is used as a basic contact tool, work and some acquaintances who can't talk about friends, are added to this kind of account, most of the circle of friends is not updated, even if it is updated, most of them are some topics related to work.

The other WeChat is a private account between more private relatives and friends.

Cheng Yu roughly flipped through Mr. Carpenter's circle of friends, which was very private, and there were many photos and videos taken by him, his wife, children, etc., which was obviously a private account.

"Old Li, this god is mysterious, do you guess who is the person who invited guests to Guangchun Tower?"

Cheng Yu shook his head and replied in a low voice: "I really can't guess." I was left in the United States by my father after graduating from elementary school, and I only came back last year, which is less than a year ago. I don't have any friends in China, and the people I have come into contact with in the past year are either partners or the relationship between Party A and Party B. Including you, I have admired the name for a long time, and I am even more unfamiliar with other people. ”

Mr. Carpenter smiled and said, "I have a guess. ”

Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Who?"

"It may be the old chapter and the small chapter, or it may be just the small chapter.

Oh, it's the most unprofessional rich second generation, didn't you mention the show you invested in just now, and you also thought about inviting him?

I think it may be that he also planned to visit Mr. Li, so Mr. Li asked him to cook a meal in the east, and then invited the two of us to participate together. ”

Cheng Yu nodded, and said in his heart that it was possible.

For an expert with high moral standing like Professor Li, since these social elites have befriended him to a certain extent, it is normal for them to visit the elderly during the Spring Festival.

Xue Qing said that she and the second generation who was called the principal because of Xiao Zhang's homonym can be regarded as a child's relationship, so it is normal for Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhang to visit Professor Li a year ago.

"Personally, I really can't integrate these variety shows, but Xiao Zhang is lively and maybe a little interested. And he has a lot of influence, especially among young people, if he agrees, it will be a guarantee for the ratings of your show. Go for it. ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Thank you Mr. Mu for mentioning it, but I'm just afraid that he is too popular and can't watch a small show like ours at all." ”

"It depends on whether the content of your show is attractive or not, and at the end of the day, he is a good (four-tone) person. Interesting things, he always enjoys them. As for the size of the production and how much it costs, in his own words, his friends, he never cares how much money the other party has, because no matter how much money he has, he can't be richer than him. ”

Cheng Yu smiled, this is also true.

But there were some things he could not say to Mr. Carpenter.

Cheng Yu is not afraid that Xiaozhang will not be able to watch this show, but he is afraid that his popularity is too high and the number of real fans is too large, which makes it difficult to complete the 10% test in the end.

"It seems that you all came to visit Mr. Li in the New Year, but shouldn't you come back during the New Year?" Cheng Yu chatted with Mr. Carpenter.

Mr. Carpenter waved his hand and said, "You don't know much about this. Li Lao has too many contacts in his life, from the central leaders to the street vendors, if he opens the door to accept New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, it must be the rhythm of the busy traffic stepping through the threshold.

Therefore, he made a rule that during the Spring Festival and until the Lantern Festival, he would not receive any New Year's visitors.

If you feel that the Chinese New Year is over and you want to visit him, you should either ask for it early before the year or talk about it after the year. ”

Cheng Yu smiled dumbly and said, "Doesn't that mean that I chose the most appropriate time by mistake?"

"Not necessarily, after all, you are different from us visitors, and you also have a double identity as Xiaoqing's boss. Li Lao is not an old-fashioned person, and he can still do this bit of flexibility. ”

Seeing that they had arrived at the Old Summer Palace and could already see the signboard of Guangchun Tower when they looked up, the two stopped chatting, followed Professor Li, and walked up the steps.

Two female counselors at the door, dressed in cotton-trimmed cheongsams, led the four of them to the second floor.

Knocking lightly on the door of the private room, and then pushing the door in, Cheng Yu looked at it, and a young man with a similar height to himself but a larger head immediately stood up.

With a smile on his face, but without too much politeness, the man shouted, "Xiaoqing, are you back too?" I knew you were back, so let's change to a Western restaurant. ”

"You don't care what my old man likes to eat?" Professor Li walked to the table with a smile and sat down on the main seat.

The young man still smiled and said, "You and I know, your mouth is wide, and it doesn't matter what you eat." But Sister Xiaoqing rarely comes back once or twice a year now, isn't that normal for her taste?"

"Where's your dad?"

"Busy, I haven't seen him in months, who knows where he is?" replied the young man indifferently, before looking at Mr. Carpenter and Cheng Yu.

When he saw Cheng Yu, he was obviously slightly stunned, obviously he hadn't seen it and didn't know who Cheng Yu was.

Turning his head and looking at Xue Qing again, Cheng Yu knew that he was afraid that he had misunderstood.

"Lao Mu is also here, no wonder the old man has to say let me set a table in Guangchun Building. Xiaoqing, is this your friend?"

Mr. Carpenter was not unhappy at all because he was called Lao Mu by the other party, this Xiao Zhang has always been like this, and it is almost impossible to expect him to be called an uncle and aunt honestly like other juniors.

He also greeted Xiao Zhang with a smile and sat down next to Professor Li.

Xue Qing is also very smart, as soon as she looks at Cheng Yu's eyes when Xiao Zhang looks at him, and when she hears the tone of his question, she knows that he has misunderstood.

So he hurriedly explained: "Don't think about it, he is my boss, and Cheng Yucheng is ......."

"Hey, it's a little crazy, call me a big boy in front of me. ”

Xiao Zhang said nonchalantly, but soon realized what this word meant.

"The young master of Cheng Guangnian's family?"

Without waiting for Cheng Yu to answer, Xue Qing said, "Otherwise, who else can call Cheng Dashao?"

I thought that with Xiaozhang's character, it was indispensable to squeeze a few words on himself, but I didn't expect that after he heard this sentence, he greeted him and said, "You can sit with me." ”

Unexpectedly, he actually recognized Cheng Yu, the title of Cheng Dashao.

In the nearly a year that Cheng Yu has returned to China, it is quite appropriate for anyone he contacts to call him Cheng Dashao, even if Du Xiaoyu sometimes says a word or two teasingly, in fact, Cheng Yu will not feel uncomfortable.

After all, his family background is indeed there.

But in the face of the person in front of him, Cheng Yu is really not as calm as before.

After all, this is a limited number of parents in China who are worth above him, and it is no problem for others to call him Cheng Dashao, but Xiaozhang is also a real young man.

"Zhang Shao is polite, don't listen to Xiaoqing's nonsense, I'm not a big boy, this is all called by my friends around me. ”

Cheng Yu walked slowly to Xiao Zhang and sat down beside him.

Xiao Zhang waved his hand and said: "I'm not used to others calling me anything less or less, and I don't think you are really a big deal, at least the two of us are half a catty or eight taels, so you don't expect me to call you Cheng Shao or something." We're about the same age, aren't we?"

Xue Qing hurriedly said: "Cheng Shaoke is much younger than you, two years younger than me." ”

Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Then you are old enough." ”

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that it was the first time he had heard someone say that he was old.

"It's better to be younger than me, I can call you by your name, you can call me by my name, or you can call me the principal like them. Whatever you want. ”

Cheng Yu was not polite, and nodded directly: "Then I'll call you the principal." ”

Xiao Zhang nodded, turned his face to look at Professor Li, and said, "Old man, you asked me to set up a bureau in Guangchun Building, is that what you mean?"

"Xiao Qing came back early, saying that Xiao Cheng knew her identity, and she happened to be passing by the imperial capital today and wanted to visit me. Your Uncle Mu also happened to say that he would come to see me today, and you called again, and the time was set for noon. If you don't set a table, will I let this old man cook for so many of you?"

Xiao Zhang laughed and said, "So, this table of rice is a bit of a slap for Xiaoqing's boss's ass? Cheng Yu, you can drink two more cups at that moment." ”

"Drink more at noon, it's not good. Cheng Yu was a little embarrassed.

Xue Qing also hurriedly helped: "That's it, you let my boss drink so much at noon, what's your intention? And our boss is busy, maybe he will have to rush back to Wudong in the afternoon." Boss, huh?"

Cheng Yu nodded with a smile and said, "I really don't have a plan, but if there is nothing to do in the afternoon, I really want to rush back." It's almost the New Year, and there are a lot of things at home. ”

"You're busy, we're all quite idle? Who hasn't had a lot of things to do in this almost New Year's time?"

"What can you do? Professor Li and Mr. Carpenter spoke at the same time.

Xiao Zhang rolled his eyes, ignored the two old men, and just said to Cheng Yu: "Although my meal was requested by Old Man Li, it was actually set for you, don't you deny this?"

Cheng Yu was helpless, so he nodded and said: "I admit this, although it is stained with Li Lao, but if you say so, I can only pinch my nose and admit it." ”

"Just admit it. So you are the guest of honor today, and I will let you drink two more glasses, do you have to agree?"

"Drink and talk, talk again. Cheng Yu could only be perfunctory.

Xiao Zhang didn't bother, just called into the waiters and told them to open two more bottles of red wine to wake up.

"Old man, I called you before, and the mystery on your phone was because of Cheng Yu?"

Professor Li slowly picked up the warm wipes on the table, wiped his fingers carefully repeatedly, and said, "It's because he's right, but it's not mainly for him as a person, but for one thing for him." I won't intervene about this, anyway, I introduced you two to each other, but it wasn't intentional, but it was a coincidence. Xiao Cheng, you can tell Xiao Zhang yourself. ”

Cheng Yu nodded, Professor Li's words were very transparent.

Although it is just a simple sentence, it introduces the point that Cheng Yu happens to find Xiao Zhang to have something, which can be regarded as a hook, so that Cheng Yu can naturally talk to Xiao Zhang about specific things, avoiding a series of processes such as greetings.

Moreover, although Professor Li asked Xiao Zhang to arrange this dinner for Cheng Yu's business, but at the same time, as he said, he usually lives alone, and Xue Qing is back and he continues to cook, of course, there is no problem, but there are so many guests at home, and he can't let an old man cook.

But Professor Li's arrangement made people think that he wanted to help Cheng Yu.

And he actually just wanted Cheng Yu to get to know Xiao Zhang and Mr. Carpenter by this opportunity, he didn't want Xiao Zhang to promise Cheng Yu anything because of his face.

Whether Xiao Zhang and Cheng Yu can cooperate depends on their own fate, and Professor Li is reluctant to get too involved.

Therefore, he added another sentence, not intentionally, but at the right time, this is to tell Xiao Zhang, what Cheng Yu talks to you about, whether you agree or not depends on whether you are interested, you don't need to give me face.

Xiao Zhang's comments outside are a bit cynical, but any rich second generation to his level can't be just a cynical straw bag.

Of course, he understood what Professor Li meant, so he nodded and said to Cheng Yu: "You and I have heard that I grew up in the United States, and after I came back, I opened an investment company, which can be regarded as a food grabber from me.

But your company seems to be doing well, and it also helped the Du Group get a project that they had been thinking about for a long time, and by the way, it promoted the cooperation between your family and the Du family, and eliminated a faint turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River.

I have to say, you're really good. I heard that you recently went to Bao'an to invest in Qin Manyuan's project?

The return is not bad, but it mixes some things that shouldn't be mixed, which attracts people's hatred. ”

In a few simple sentences, Cheng Yu's main dynamics this year have been outlined.

So, who said that Xiao Zhang was a bastard second ancestor? He knew everything he should understand.

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Sister Man's incident is a bit offended, but fortunately, I should still be offended."

To put it mildly, in Jiangnan, there are more people who hate my family, not as many as those in Lingdong.

I may sound arrogant and excessive, but the truth is that my father has never made a bad decision since he was in business.

At least when it comes to major decisions, he is always on the right line.

Although I have only been back to China for less than a year, my qualifications are very short, and I am an unknown junior in investment banking.

But again, none of the decisions I've made this year have been wrong.

Even luckily, none of my investment projects this year have been loss-making.

I think God may still favor our Cheng family for decades.

I didn't know Sister Man before, but I was introduced by Xue Changyun.

He wants to help Sister Man, I don't care what his motives are, after I met Sister Man, I also think she is a good person, and I am willing to make friends with her, so I will help.

What's more, the return rate of this project is actually quite good. ”
