Chapter 58: You're Hiding Deep Enough
Zhang Wanru said angrily: "Am I in debt to you in my last life?" Tell me, since I met you, it first disrupted my peaceful life, and then left me with so many troubles. ”
"Hehe, it seems to be true. You must have owed me a lot of debts in your last life, including love debts. Don't think about it. However, there is no hurry to repay the debt, and there is still more than half a lifetime to go. I will never give up chasing what you want, even if it is to the ends of the earth.
Three days later, Lu Mingyu took the earliest flight, returned to the capital with apprehension, saw the strict sentry at the gate of the compound, and thought, if that girl knew my family background, would she regret it again? Forget it, who am I? It's going to take care of it.
After lunch, in his father's study, he smiled and flattered, "Dad, listen to me tell a story", and then told all the things about Wanru one by one.
When he saw that his father didn't speak, he said again: "I tried a lot of effort to chase her down, and you asked me to come back, so I kept dragging it out." Now she is more than three months pregnant and two boys. I'm coming back this time to have a showdown with you. If I had to choose between love and career, I would choose love. If it's a big deal, I'll quit my job and go into business with her. ”
"Say no more, you bastard boy! Are you uncomfortable if you don't give me some trouble? I said you just didn't reply? Why don't you let me worry about it so much? ”
The old man had already understood, his face was full of black lines, and he intercepted his words very angrily, and looked at the kid in front of him angrily, his head was clouded.
"Hehe, listen to me, she is wearing a contraceptive ring, this matter is really providential. Not only are these two children destined for us, but she and I are also destined for us. Don't be angry first, think about your two eldest grandsons, if you force me, I'll let her have an abortion, haha, you want to hold your grandson in your life. ”
If Zhang Wanru saw Lu Mingyu's face at this time, she would definitely give him a look of contempt. At this time, our Lu Er Shao achieved the highest level of shamelessness. If you don't agree to do this, you won't give up.
In front of his father, he is not only a big scoundrel, but also a second goods who plays treasures.
In fact, in this family, his youngest son has always been so virtuous. Now he is the big boy who has caused trouble, where is the image of the boss?
"You bear child! What is this doing? Alas! ”
The old man scolded angrily, but his eyes looked around, trying to find a guy who could take advantage of him and beat him first to relieve his hatred. As a result, there are really no tools in the study that can be used to beat people except books.
He sat in the swivel chair, his head in his hands, closed his eyes, tried to calm his anger, and finally focused on his two grandsons, and finally quieted down. I thought to myself, something happened, and even beating him couldn't solve the problem.
He raised his head, looked directly at his son and asked, "You have harmed others and put them in an embarrassing situation, didn't she say that she wanted to marry you?" ”
"Yes. If it weren't for these two children, I might have left me. So I don't want to come back. She said she wouldn't destroy other people's families, but I couldn't do without her. She is the most loved person in my life. I'm almost forty. After so many years, you have also seen, what kind of life have I lived? When you finally find someone you like, you will never give up. ”
Although Lu Ershao was very solemn when he spoke, he was still playing tricks inside and outside of his words.
The old man rubbed his temples with both hands, pondered for a long time, looked up at him, and said calmly: "Go back, you stinky boy." You've been a bold man since you were a kid. As long as the three of us know about this, I'll go over and see her. ”
The old man also made up his mind that he must have a grandson. I'm also thinking of a way in my heart. Finally, he added, "You must keep the child." ”
Lu Mingyu walked out of the door with a smile, as if he suddenly thought of something, and pushed the door in again, and smiled and told the old man with a faceless smile: "Don't scare her." She doesn't know about our family yet. You can't wait too long, your belly will get bigger and bigger. ”
The old man had a black old face, looked at his underwhelming face, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted at him through gritted teeth: "Get out! You bastard, it's annoying to look at you. When will it stop? ”
Our Lu Ershao took the afternoon flight back. threw a lot of trouble directly at his father.
In the evening, it was still that study, and Old Man Lu held his head with both hands, not knowing whether he was happy or sad.
Thinking that he would have two eldest grandchildren, his heart was flushed with excitement, and he had two sons and a daughter, but all three children were born to girls. Now there are two eldest grandsons, which is simply the blessing of the ancestors.
However, the situation is now complicated. Family planning is so tight, and the daughter-in-law is still seriously ill, and that in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He was also stunned in front of his tiger power.
Thinking of this, he frowned in distress, feeling that there was really nothing he could do.
He picked up the phone and called his eldest son, and after connecting, he said, "Whether you are busy or not, hurry home and I have something to discuss with you." ”
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"It's not a big deal, you can talk about it when you come back."
An hour later, Lu Minghai returned home and went directly to his father's study.
After sitting down, he looked at his father with an inquiring gaze.
The old man looked at his eldest son and thought to himself, fortunately, this son has not stopped and has not let himself worry about it since he was a child. He told his brother in detail what he had said.
In the process of telling, the old man saw that his son's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and his face was becoming more and more exciting, as if he had heard a great piece of good news instead of a big trouble.
He frowned and glared at him, and asked angrily, "Are you gloating?" Bastard boy, how did I give birth to you two bear children. One out and one out didn't make me feel relieved. ”
Lu Minghai laughed hesitantly and hurriedly explained: "It's not like that. I'm happy that you're going to have two big grandchildren. Hehe, Mingyu is right, Zhang Wanru was very good in school, not only handsome, but also versatile. In fact, I met Mingyu in the third year after she got married, and I have been secretly in love with her ever since. ”
Seeing the old man looking at himself with amazement, Lu Minghai told his younger brother about how he often went to school to find himself.
Then there was a burst of embarrassment, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect it." I really didn't expect it. The two of them still met and came together, this is fate. Dad, to be honest, Mingyu is very discerning, I didn't expect this stinky boy to be so lucky, to find his beloved in the vast sea of people, and to hug the beauty. ”
The old man couldn't laugh or cry when he saw his son's envious gaze and surprised expression. I didn't expect there to be so many stories in it. I have been a responsible person all my life, how did I give birth to such two living treasures?
Rolled his eyes at him, and muttered in his heart, I called you back to understand the situation and discuss things, look at your virtue, how can you look like a professor who is a teacher? I really don't know if I have such two wonderful sons for myself, how happy should I be? Or should it be sad?
Lu Minghai saw that the frost on his father's face was getting thicker and thicker, and then it was getting darker and darker, which was particularly scary. It's like a deposit before a storm.
Hurriedly sat upright, restrained his smile, and said solemnly: "Don't be angry when you are old." There are always more solutions than difficulties. That younger sibling of mine wasn't a long-lived person. Last time I was in the hospital, I specifically asked her attending doctor, and I also consulted through friends outside my country. The cancer cells in her body had spread, and there was no way to treat her, so she had to treat it conservatively, but she didn't want to cooperate at all. I know that if I continue to suffer like this, I will only suffer more. ”
Lu Lao knew more than he did, and he had already asked the experts. However, those two little lives will be born after the Spring Festival. How do you deal with such a complex relationship? Besides, Shangguan's child is indeed a good mother and daughter-in-law, not only has he had a deep affection for Mingyu who has not been in tune over the years, but he has also sincerely respected his old couple.
Lu Minghai said very firmly: "Dad, this matter is not difficult to do at all. You don't know yet, do you? Shangguan Mingzhu had already written a divorce letter to Mingyu, but Mingyu didn't sign it. Mingyu's mother-in-law also knows. Shangguan has a deep affection for Mingyu and will never do anything unfavorable to him. You will let Zhang Wanru go to the eldest sister to settle down first, and when the child is born, the eldest sister will find someone to take care of her. ”
The old man's eyes widened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”
"That's right. In fact, Mingyu also has feelings for his daughter-in-law. Isn't he coming back soon? After coming back, he asked him to take care of Shangguan wholeheartedly, and looked for a suitable opportunity to tell her about Zhang Wanru and the child. I believe that Shangguan may be sad, but for the sake of Mingyu and their daughter, he will definitely not object. On her parents' side, she has to persuade herself, and the old general will not be too embarrassed for us for the sake of his daughter and granddaughter. ”
The eldest son's analysis made the old man's frowning brows gradually relaxed. That's right, as long as Shangguan Mingzhu speaks, plus his granddaughter. The old general could only twist his nose and admit it. Let Zhang Wanru give birth to the child in the past, and the future can only be solved slowly.
The old man looked at his son and thought, it seems that he didn't raise you in vain. You can help my old man with advice.
asked tentatively: "I heard Mingyu say that Zhang Wanru still has a pair of children, who are eleven years old. Will I be able to find a school after I have passed? ”
Lu Minghai grinned and said, "This matter is on me, and I am also the vice president of a famous university. Even if you give them a family to settle down, I will help them run a school for their children, and I will also tell my eldest sister about it. ”
The two of them talked on the phone with Lu Minghua from the United States again.
After some discussion, we finally solved all the troubles caused by our Lu Ershao. Although the third grandfather felt that this matter was very troublesome to deal with, he thought of the two babies who had not yet been born, and they were willing to contribute money and efforts.
Only that Lu Er Shao pretended to be stupid and sat back and enjoyed his success.
Two days later, Lu Lao came to Qingchuan City, Haiyun Province. He was particularly excited to see this provincial capital city with a long history and a dreamy color. After the car circled around the steel group, it stopped at the gate of their newly built staff dormitory, and then called Lu Mingyu and asked him to come and meet.
The old man admired the environment here, and thought to himself, it was rare for his youngest son to stay here for so many years, not only low-key, but also made a lot of achievements. The only thing that's not beautiful is that it's done this ridiculous thing.
I really want to see what kind of woman this Zhang Wanru is? The son who can be high and clean for many years has been infatuated with him, and after encountering it, he pursued it by any means and captured her heart.
She also received the highest praise from her eldest son, and it was rare for her younger brother to marry her home without complaint, contributing money, effort, and careful planning.
Lu Mingyu drove here, and after seeing his father, he let the bodyguard who came with him get into his car, sat in the driver's seat, pointed to the home appliance store at the entrance of the dormitory, and said: "This store is her second branch, and there is another store in Fengcheng." ”
Then after driving to the vicinity of Fangxin Garden, the two looked at a high-rise building in the community.
Lu Ershao said with a smile: "This community is their own, and each has half of the shares. This girl is very shrewd, he invested millions of yuan to start his own project to make bricks, doors and windows. Not only did they supply our two construction sites, but they also delivered a lot of goods to other construction sites. Hehe, isn't that smart? ”
The old man was also surprised that this girl could have such vision and courage, and heard the youngest son ask proudly.
With a calm face, he asked coldly: "Stinky boy, are you looking at other people's wealth?" ”
Lu Mingyu looked angry after hearing this, and argued: "Old man, you're not right. Who is your son? Don't you know? Besides, when I met her, she had just started to go to the sea to do business, and the pair of jade bracelets that were mortgaged had not yet been redeemed. I love her as a person, and I'm willing to share her ups and downs. ”
The old man didn't pick up the stubble, squinting his eyes and looking at the construction site where doors, windows and bricks were made.
Lu Ershao continued: "The building they built is high-end and atmospheric, and has been well received by the leaders of the province and the city, and now they have received another project. ”
Back at the villa, Lu Ershao let the old man go to Zhang Wanru's study, turned on the computer, and after the two sat down, Lu Ershao opened the surveillance video of the clothing wholesale store and two retail stores.
introduced: "This is the clothing store she just opened in the sea, hehe, I heard her classmate Ji Yuqing say that in order to attract merchants to her clothing wholesale store to get goods, she also used a truck to take clothes to the countryside to sell clothes." Finally, a cooperation agreement was signed with the small merchants who sold clothes in the market. ”
Lu Ershao finished telling the details of the story, looked at his father, and then asked: "If my eldest brother knew that the high-achieving students he taught had become a small trader in the country market, I don't know what his expression would be?" ”
When the old man heard this, he also laughed. I thought, I didn't expect this girl to have the bearing to be able to put it down. I felt a little funny in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face.
Lu Ershao talked about the home appliance store again, and then clicked on the surveillance video of the battlefield.
said with a smile: "After she bid for the sand field in Qihe Town, the local people who originally opened the sand field stopped it with dozens of people. Her father was the director of the Fengcheng Public Security Bureau. At that time, her second uncle's brother was afraid that she would suffer a loss, and hoped to call her uncle and ask the public security organ to come over. But she said that if she couldn't handle this by herself, she wouldn't be able to open it. She defeated the other party in a competition with the leader in only two moves, and later went to the drunken fairy to compete for wine, and drank nearly two catties of liquor in one go. In the end, they were directly brought under his command to manage the battlefield. ”
The old man was a little shocked by this information, this is another fight, and it is a fight, is it the school girl in the mouth of the eldest son? It's like the big sister of the underworld.
After watching the video of Li Hu on the battlefield, the old man couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "According to what you said, she not only has a good martial arts, but also can drink." ”
Lu Ershao laughed, and then said, "Do you remember the escape incident in a prison in the west? ”
"You know, that incident has been broadcast on TV, and there is a wanted notice on the Internet."
"Hehe, four of them fled to our city, and after killing a van driver, they didn't dare to take the highway and turned to find the truth in the middle of nowhere. As a result, the car broke down halfway through, so they wanted to hijack another one, but by coincidence, Wanru happened to pass by and became their target. ”
Then he told his father in detail, and finally said with a smile: "The Public Security Bureau suspects that she single-handedly beat four extremely vicious fugitives and murderers. I wanted to keep her at the Public Security Bureau to wait for the investigation. However, she knew Mayor Qiu of Qingchuan City, so she called him over to prove it before taking her away. ”
The old man's eyes widened in shock, and after a long while, he asked strangely, "Why didn't I call you?" With you kid, you won't sit idly by. ”
Lu Ershao shrugged his shoulders in annoyance.
Said helplessly: "Let's be honest with your old man, although she has been with me for several years, she has always avoided marrying me, and the relationship between the two of us is also like separation." I sent someone to find out these inside stories, and she never mentioned them to me. Mayor Qiu knows her better, because she has the habit of running in the morning, and he also knows that she learned martial arts from a Tai Chi master in the park. ”
With his son's story, the old man became more curious about his grandson's mother, and really wanted to see her true face as soon as possible.
He turned to look at his son. I thought, this stinky boy looks like a talent, and when he was young, he was followed by a lot of, if it weren't for Shangguan Mingzhu's father being a general, he couldn't resist his daughter looking at him and personally coming to the door to propose marriage, it would be impossible for him to get married so early.
Looking up, my gaze fell on the two drawings on the wall.
Lu Ershao hurriedly explained to his father: "Haha, these two pictures, one is her resort, the other is her hotel, office building and supermarket. ”
When Lu Lao heard his son tell the two paintings again, he stared into his eyes and asked, "You didn't help her less, didn't you?" ”
Lu Ershao learned from Zhang Wanru's left mouth and curled, and hurriedly explained: "If you want to help her, there is really something, but there is no violation at all." In order to let her stay in the provincial capital, I entrusted them with the construction of the dormitory building, which was also to cultivate a relationship with her; Secondly, every year, our unit pays benefits, and she also asks her to procure. However, not only did she not ask for a high price, but she also paid a little less than others; And when her resort opened, I asked Governor Zhou to bring people from the TV station to cheer her on. ”
The old man knew that this kid was still quite low-key, and said with satisfaction: "Tomorrow, I'll go to Fengcheng City to meet her." You stinky boy, it's bold enough to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house here. Aren't you afraid that your father-in-law will find out and beat you up? ”
"Dad, I paid 100,000 yuan for this house, and the rest of the hundreds of thousands of yuan were paid by herself. It's not a gold house. Also, don't worry about my father-in-law, I'll have a way. You saw her in the past, don't say it, she didn't know you were a big guy yet. ”
There was no word all night, and dawn in the blink of an eye.
After Zhang Wanru finished practicing throwing stones from the woods in the community, she picked up one of the stones on the ground and put them in a woven bag, and then hid them in the grass.
Just about to go home, I received a call from Lu Mingyu, "Wanru, at nine o'clock, you are waiting at the intersection of the highway to the resort, and my old man will pass." Take it with you to visit the resort. ”
"What do I say when I see him?"
"Hehe, don't say anything. He's a kind little old man, and he won't be you. He may come to your house as a guest, so I will introduce him to your parents as a business customer first. In the future, his old man will take care of it. ”
Zhang Wanru thought to herself, since this is the case, she doesn't have to worry, her family has to find a way to deal with this matter. Thinking of this, he said, "Okay, come over on time." Won't you come? ”
"Yes, he won't let me follow, call me if there's something."
Zhang Wanru went home for breakfast and dressed up carefully, knowing that it was best to leave a good impression on Lu Mingyu's family when she saw Lu Mingyu's family for the first time. Before going out, I took a look in front of the mirror and felt very satisfied.
At half past eight, I drove to the intersection of the highway leading to the resort. She turned off the engine, sat in the car and downloaded the piano music on her mobile phone, listening to it quietly, also to give prenatal education to the child in her belly. I watched the traffic on the highway at a leisurely pace.
At 9:20, a Hongqi sedan came from the direction of the provincial capital, and after the car slowed down, Zhang Wanru guessed that it was this car, and when her eyes fell on the license plate, she was stunned.
Because she went to college in the capital for four years, she knows that people who can hang this kind of license plate number all work in the center. What's more, it's still driving a red flag car.
Just as Zhang Wanru was stunned and guessed what the identity of the old man she was going to see was.
The Hongqi car had stopped, and out of the car came a tall and burly old man, although his hair was a little gray, but from the face shape and the eyes under the sword eyebrows, as well as the high bridge of the nose and good-looking lips, there was no need to guess, that guy looked exactly like him, this is the old man he was waiting for.
Zhang Wanru hurriedly opened the car door and got out of the car, and walked quickly to meet him with anxiety, smiling, and said, "Uncle Lu is good." I'm Zhang Wanru. ”
The old man looked at her with a kind smile, and it was at this moment that all the previous doubts of this old man with extraordinary experience were relieved.
Because she saw that the woman who was coming towards her not only had a delicate face, but also a slender figure, well-proportioned and peugeot. In particular, those bright eyes are bottomless, revealing shrewdness and wisdom.
Since last night, hearing the introduction of the youngest son, I have planted a seed of curiosity in my heart, and when I saw it today, I really recognized the evaluation of her by the two sons. The eldest son did not hesitate to take out his savings for many years, but also to fulfill the marriage of his younger brother. The little son, who has always been bold, would rather give up his good future than follow her.
When I saw her with my own eyes, I found that although she was beautiful, she did not have charming eyes, although she was slender but not enchanting, but had a domineering spirit, stable and noble, and extraordinary temperament.
The old man shook hands with Zhang Wanru, who came forward, smiled at her with a kind face, and said, "Haha, hello, I am Lu Minghai's father." ”
After greeting each other, Zhang Wanru invited the old man to get into her car and then drove towards the resort.
The car was driving on the smooth asphalt road, and the leaves of the ginkgo trees on both sides began to turn yellow. In the autumn breeze, there are still fallen leaves falling from time to time, like yellow butterflies dancing; There is a land that rises high with the autumn wind, like a yellow warbler spreading its wings and flying.
The sky was blue, the white clouds were fluttering, and the air was exceptionally fresh, mixed with the fragrance of the crops and the fragrance of the earth.
Looking at the fields, patches of farmland, some have been planted with wheat, and some fields are sweet potatoes. Immediately to the south of the highway is a newly built canal connected to the reservoir in Taohua Village, in which dams are also built at intervals to keep the water level in the canal at a certain height.
The murmuring water stretches downstream, as if singing a harvest song. The singing is cheerful and soothing, like a fruity breeze greeting guests from afar, telling them to enjoy the best time of the year.
The old man admired the scenery, felt relaxed and happy, and admired the beauty of nature.
Zhang Wanru's previous nervousness gradually faded in front of such a kind old man, and she introduced the history of this mountainous area to the old man along the way.
When the car entered between the two mountains, Zhang Wanru explained the two villages in the mountains in detail, drove directly along the winding mountain road that had just been built, drove into Xinghua Village, and stopped near the nursing home.
Zhang Wanru and the old man got out of the car and continued to introduce: "This is Xinghua Village, but also my hometown, this used to be a low stone house, it was only the year before the overall planning, when building a house, the west row was built first, a row of two households, let the villagers move to the new house, then then dismantle and then build, so that each row of houses has a two-lane road, but also moved the village as a whole to the west 50 meters, around the village have built roads, installed street lights. The two two-storey buildings are nursing homes. ”
The two walked around the village, and the old man listened to Zhang Wanru's introduction, looking at each family and its own courtyard, and the planning was very reasonable.
When he came to the west of the village, he saw the fruit trees in the terraced fields, the farmland and a reservoir that had just been repaired under the mountain, the old man nodded frequently, and praised the quietness and harmony of the two mountain villages hidden in the depths. He had imagined the beautiful sight of spring flowers in full bloom and fruit in May.
In the distance, you can see the highway and the buses going to the resort.
Zhang Wanru smiled and said to the old man: "Our mayor of Fengcheng City is called Meng Haiyun, who is also our student of Professor Lu, and is also our class leader, and he also runs this highway and bus line. Since the introduction of the bus, the people of the village will take the bus to take two baskets to the city market to sell whenever the fruit is ripe, and they can make more money by selling it. ”
The old man's eyes were always attracted by the scenery in front of him, and after listening attentively to Zhang Wanru's introduction, he also knew the water and soil of this mountainous area, as well as the folk customs.
When they returned to the car, they stood at the head of the village and looked condescendingly to the east. The resort and the lake are also in full view.
When the old man was in the villa, he had already seen the drawings, and when the real thing was in front of him, he was even more shocked by the beautiful scenery here. Not only did he see the buildings and villas in the resort, but he also paid special attention to the lake down the mountain. Because this lake is a prerequisite for building a resort.
Zhang Wanru drove to the square of the resort and parked the car.
When the old man saw the beautiful scenery around him, his eyes suddenly opened up, with green mountains and green waters, blue sky, and a gentle breeze with the sweetness of fruits. In the terraces to the east, there are also a few people shaving sweet potatoes.
In the square, there are still people sitting around drinking tea and chatting, a few old people are playing chess intently, and a few old people are sitting around the stone table playing cards. On the west side of the square, there was an old couple sitting in rocking chairs, talking affectionately.
At this time, Lu Lao felt like he had broken into a quiet and peaceful paradise, like a fairyland on earth. Looking at Wanru in disbelief.
Zhang Wanru just smiled at him and didn't say anything. I hope that the elderly will experience the beautiful scenery here by themselves.
After an hour's visit, the old man said excitedly: "This is a holy place for leisure and recuperation. When I went back, I invited a few old friends to come over for a few days and enjoy the quiet and beautiful scenery here. ”
Zhang Wanru has already guessed a rough idea from the old man's temperament and powerful aura, his old friends will definitely not be general, if they can come, they can't ask for it, and it will be difficult for the resort not to be prosperous in the future.
Hurriedly smiled and said, "Haha, welcome uncle over for vacation." ”
Leaving the resort, the two cars headed towards the city. When the car came to the Fengcheng Resort Hotel, the car was parked in front of the hotel, and the group got out of the car.
Zhang Wanru took the old man to visit the greenery in the hotel and came to the lobby of the hotel.
Manager Li hurriedly caught up. Zhang Wanru asked him to arrange a quiet private room and make the best tea.
Zhang Wanru said to the old man: "Uncle, let's have lunch first, rest after the meal and then go to my house, and eat at our parents' house in the evening, how about it?" ”
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, just listen to your arrangement." ”
Zhang Wanru said again: "I'm sorry, I can't have a drink with you." I'll ask our squad leader to come over and have a drink with you. May I? ”
"Haha, okay, it's not bad to meet the old college students here."
Zhang Wanru asked Manager Li to cook a table of the hotel's signature dishes, and then came out and called Meng Haiyun and asked him to come to the hotel immediately.
Then he dialed Lu Mingyu's phone again, thinking, you villain, I just hid martial arts from you, I'm afraid that you will know, and I'm worried that I will bully. But you are good, you turned out to be the son of a high-ranking official, and you hid it deep enough. Now your fox tail is finally revealed.
But, on second thought, I really can't blame him, I never cared about his family background. Besides, it's fair to hide secrets, so it's better to pretend to be stupid.
I heard a voice from the other end of the phone: "Wanru, the old man is not difficult for you, right?" ”
"No, does he have any favorite food?"
"You can eat anything. Hehe, dear, I received a call from my eldest brother, and everything has been arranged. You just do what the old man thinks. I will stay for another month or two and be transferred back to the capital. When the old man leaves, I will tell you in detail when you come over. ”
Zhang Wanru said casually: "Okay, goodbye." ”
