Chapter 62: Advance and Retreat
"Yes, but you know my rules."
"How, probably...... How much do you need? I'll prepare in advance. β
Liu Ruxiang looked at me, and then said calmly: "This time I will make an exception, you can prepare 50,000." β
Dean Chen looked happy and nodded, "Okay, thank you." β
"By the way, how did you decide the time?"
Dean Chen pondered: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the leaders will have a meeting, or ...... Friday, the day after tomorrow, how about putting it in the evening? β
Liu Ruxiang shook her head: "Friday is definitely not good, my apprentice goes to school, and he has to do homework at night, so it will be delayed if he goes to dinner, so it's better to have Saturday, it just so happens that you are also resting, and you all have time." β
Dean Chen's face was embarrassed.
"But the leader also has to rest, it may not be easy to arrange......" he suddenly changed his words, "I try my best to coordinate and do my best to promote." β
"Hmm."
"Okay, now let's go out for a quick meal, shall we? Thank you so much. β
It's not early, and if you go home to cook now, you'll still be hungry for a while, so Liu Ruxiang agreed to come down and let Dean Chen lead the way.
The location of the hotel is not far away, after leaving the hospital, walk to the side of the quilt, and cross the intersection to arrive.
Our group came to the third floor of the hotel and entered a small private room that looked very beautiful, with a shiny sense of chairs and tables, and the tableware was also very high-end, a kind of porcelain with a very beautiful pattern.
I've never been to such a high-end occasion, but I feel like it's been an eye-opener, and I'm looking forward to the dinner right away.
"Three pieces of sauce marinade, three shreds of cold salad, boiled prawns-"
"Roasted sea cucumber with green onions, crispy pigeon, charcoal-grilled lamb chopsββ"
"Winter melon pork rib soup, shredded pork in Beijing sauceββ"
Soon a large table of dishes came up.
Liu Ruxiang didn't move, leaning on the chair and closing her eyes, not holding chopsticks.
And if Liu Ruxiang doesn't move, I don't dare to move. Neither of us nor our master and apprentice moved, and this Dean Chen didn't dare to move.
I don't know if it's because of hunger or nervousness, the director of this hospital looks uncertain, and beads of sweat appear on his forehead.
After a while, Dean Chen picked up the chopsticks, pointed to a table of good dishes, and said with a sneer: "You, you eat, is the dish unappetizing?" β
Liu Ruxiang didn't answer him, but said to me, let me eat first.
I didn't understand what the cooker meant, but I was really hungry, so I picked up a prawn, dipped it in vinegar and put it in my mouth.
Delicious! It's really sweet and tender.
After eating the shrimp, I turned the glass tray and suddenly saw a plate of confusing dishes.
It was a plate of marinated goods, called three pieces of sauce and marinade, which was made up of braised pig ears, braised goose feet and braised beef.
As we all know, the master of the Zhuang family has several taboos, he can't eat beef, dog meat, and turtles and geese.
I seem to know the reason why Liu Ruxiang didn't eat at once.
"This dish is not to my liking." I pointed to the plate of three pieces and said.
Dean Chen's eyes widened suddenly, and he saw the beef on the plate clearly, and he immediately understood.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for you, I forgot, I forgot to tell the hotel. Waiter, change the dish, change the braised hairtail fish up. β
Dean Chen looked apologetic.
At this time, Liu Ruxiang picked up the chopsticks.
"When I came here to dine last year, I told you that our master has taboos in this business. Dean Chen, people are getting old, and their memories have declined. β
Dean Chen picked up the wine glass, stood up and dried it directly!
Liu Ruxiang also replaced wine with tea and took a sip in return.
The meal was just a small episode, and after the meal, we got in the car and went home.
Fortunately, Wei Linjuan helped me finish my homework today, so I don't have to rush my homework, otherwise, I will have to stay up late tonight.
In the car, Liu Ruxiang sat next to me and told me about the doorway tonight.
"Just having a meal at night, do you think I'm making a fuss and putting on a show?"
I nodded, "Sort of." β
Liu Ruxiang sneered, and then explained: "It's true that our master can't eat beef and dog meat, which is true, but the teacher's dogma is to restrain us, not to restrain him." It doesn't matter if he eats it. But if we ask him so much, not to show up at the dinner table, it is a kind of beating and forcing him to retreat. This is the key point. When dealing with relationships, we must clarify the position, when to retreat and when to advance, we must grasp it well. β
"This Dean Chen, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, is to ask the leader for help. Because the director of a county hospital, if you want to make progress, the path is relatively narrow. And this Lao Chen, he used to rely on his cousin to get up, but his cousin fell last year, and now he has no backer, and it is difficult to say whether he can keep his current position in the future. β
"At this point, he has to come to me. And you think, what if he is promoted and goes away in the future and gets carried away? Then you have to knock in advance, so that he can remember what his status is and who helped him. In the relationship and confrontation, there can be no cowardice. β
Liu Ruxiang looked at me thoughtfully, and then added: "Of course, this is an old oilman in society today, if you are a friend who treats you sincerely, then you can't do this." β
"Uh-huh, of course." I nodded in agreement, thinking to myself, I guess I treat my friend sincerely, Wei Linjuan is one, right?
Just when our master and apprentice had eaten enough and sat in the car and went home, on the other side of Xiaokan Village, Wei Linjuan had been worried all night.
At this time, the Wei family had finished eating, and Wei Linjuan was washing dishes in the kitchen.
Wei's mother walked to the kitchen with Chai He in her arms from the outside, and when she bent down, she happened to see a tear in the hem of her daughter's skirt.
"Juan, why is your skirt broken?"
Hearing her mother's question, Wei Linjuan put down the bowl in her hand, her hands were wet, she bit her lip, and her heart was very entangled.
"Girl, what's wrong? I asked you how you got the skirt, and you didn't care about such a beautiful dress that people gave you. β
Wei Linjuan defended: "No, this, this skirt was broken by a classmate in our class. β
Wei's mother asked, "What's the matter, which classmate is it?" β
Wei Linjuan had a weak temperament, and after thinking about it for a long time, tears fell before she said, "It's a boy named He Tianqi."
When I went to the toilet and came back from class, he heard that my dark spots were cured, and he was going to lift my skirt to see how well my treatment worked. I was scared and quickly grabbed my skirt and squatted down. He reached out and grabbed the hem of his skirt, and with a great deal of effort it broke it. β
Wei Linjuan said what she said at that time, while wiping her tears, she felt embarrassed to say it, and she hated that He Tianqi even more, why is this person so bad?
When Wei's mother heard her daughter's complaints, she was annoyed all of a sudden, gritted her teeth and scolded, hugging her daughter tightly.
