Chapter 224: Like stalling for time
Zhao Xiaoyue walked forward holding up her skirt, "Tell me, Brother Meng, what color motorboat do you want?"
Zhang Xiaomeng's eyes sparkled. "Blue, the same color as the sea, so cool."
Zhao Xiaoyue: "If it capsizes, even the rescuers won't be able to find you."
"Then I want black. Black! It's also very domineering, cool and awesome."
"Okay, arrange it!"
Zhang Xiaomeng was happy. From now on, he was a loyal supporter of the helmsman. Anyone who dared to touch a hair of the helmsman would have to step over his dead body first!
Zhao Xiaoyue was puzzled, "Why haven't Brother Tao and the others come out yet?"
Zhang Xiaomeng picked up the phone and it was Lao Shi who answered.
Lao Shi covered the receiver with his hand and lowered his voice, "Xiao Meng! You must protect the helm, okay?"
Hou Taotao and Wen Zhengtian were chatting enthusiastically about life.
Wen Zhengtian: "Hey, what do you do for a living?"
I just said it and forgot it.
Butler Zhu:???
Is this the third time you ask this question?
Hou Taotao: "I am not very talented. I own a sports club and I can barely make a living."
I can understand that; after all, the old leader is in good health.
Wen Zhengtian: "Oh my, that's incredible. Our country is in need of sports talents. Are you training talents?"
Hou Taotao: “Renting, renting places, and also hosting some sports events.”
Wen Zhengtian: "Being able to host a sports event on your own is a great achievement!"
Hou Taotao: "Haha, haha, I'm so ashamed, haha."
Wen Zhengtian: "Drink tea, drink tea, haha!"
Fourth cup of tea!
Both parties raised their tea in an awkward but polite manner.
At this moment, Old Master Wen really wanted to pull Situ Ming over and give him a good beating. They had been chatting for half an hour, and if he didn't let him go, there would be no more chatting.
The movements of drinking tea seemed to be in slow motion, and he was trying hard to think about what topics a soldier like him and a group of gangsters could have in common.
Hou Taotao has put all his life's cultivation here.
Try hard to think about what is particular about the tea in your hand and what words to use to praise the tea soup and leaves so that the host will be happy.
I took two sips and nodded, took two sips and nodded, and then... I couldn't think of any useful words.
Apart from the astringency... there is no taste at all!
"This tea... is extremely sweet and mellow, making your mouth water and leaving you with an endless aftertaste!"
Lao Shi put down the phone and paused eating his snack. Isn’t this a medium-grade Longjing tea?
It's not white tea, so how can it taste sweet?
He took another uncertain look, and sure enough, it was Longjing tea. It was obviously a bit astringent, and not even as good as Pu'er tea!
Wen Zhengtian pulled Chen Jinghuai and Liang Chengdong to talk about this and that, and finally more than an hour had passed, and their saliva had dried up.
It's so shameless.
At first, they were quite reserved, after all, they were meeting the old leader!
But gradually, starting from the sixth child, their main job became "eating".
Eat a variety of delicious food.
Although I have seen and eaten it before, it has a different meaning when the leader invites me.
Gradually, the only ones who became nervous were Hou Taotao, Chen Jinghuai, Liang Cheng and Geng Qiu Sheng.
Although Wen Zhengtian looked steady, the hand holding the cane betrayed him.
Geng Qiu Sheng observed secretly, his peach blossom eyes lowered as he suppressed his thoughts.
The old man has been talking about this and that for nearly an hour, chatting without any purpose.
Did RL get into trouble with someone?
Or did Guan Changlin leak something?
Apart from Huanhai Town, they had no dealings with people in the military and political circles.
The helmsman said that she gave the land in the suburbs of Beijing to Wen Zhengtian's grandson. This is the extent of their involvement so far.
If it's about land... then it should be Li San who contacted them, it can't be related to Wen's Group.
Before today, Situ Ming was the boss of Jiangcheng Real Estate, and Wen's Group is the leader in the foreign trade industry. This... they are not involved!
Geng Qiu Sheng pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, but he couldn't understand anything no matter how hard he looked.
Haha, it would be strange if you could understand it!
Lao Jiu and Lao Shi were sitting at the table farthest away.
The two of them ate snacks while watching the people in front of them talking. The snacks melted in their mouths and were sweet but not greasy.
There was shredded seafood on the side, and the dipping sauces and other things were already prepared for them, so they just had to eat.
Lao Jiu: "Do you feel that the old leader is stalling for time?"
Lao Shi: "I think so too, but why?"
Two-thirds of the seafood in half a basin was missing.
Lao Jiu knocked on the bowl slightly, "Can you please stop just eating?"
Lao Shi glanced at him with a slight disdain, "Can you please stop crawling on women's bellies all day long?"
Hey, have you learned how to turn the tables?
Lao Jiu: "Let's talk business!"
Lao Shi: "Delaying time, isn't this obvious? Listen, this question about what we do has come up for the fourth time."
Lao Jiu nodded: "You're right, it's true. It's just like putting new wine in a clay pot. The four debaters all asked us what we do, but why?"
Lao Shi: "Not sure, I'll ask Brother Tao and the others later."
Then half a pot of seafood was finished.
When Wen Zhengtian was about to ask the question "What do you do for a living?" for the fifth time, Butler Zhu's phone rang.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over.
Hou Taotao and the others are finally finished.
Sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, it's finally over. If you keep eating like this, you won't need to eat for three days.
Wen Zhengtian watched the few people walk away, walked towards the room with a gloomy face, and kept muttering as he walked, "This brat, this prodigal son, if something like this happens again, don't even think about coming to me. I've probably lost all my face in this life."
Butler Zhu also felt that Master Wen’s reputation was about to be ruined.
He was wondering why this usually majestic man gave him such a fearful feeling just now.
Butler Zhu thought about the relationship between the two, and then sorted it out again. Combining it with the first time he visited his in-laws' house when he was young, he seemed to be able to figure it out.
Butler Zhu's son was also married, but not long after his marriage he was the only one left in the family.
Alas, this is another sad topic, so let’s not talk about it.
I don't know if things are going well for the young master.
His young master is not doing well. His young master is not doing well.
Hou Taotao and his friends drive a 9-meter luxury stretched Lincoln.
The driver started the car slowly. In the eyes of the brothers, Hou Erdangjia was resting with his eyes closed.
But only he himself knew that his mind was completely focused on the conversation just now.
At this moment, Hou Erdangjia was also wondering what the old leader's intention was in talking about irrelevant things.
It's impossible that I have nothing to do and just tease them, right?
Hou Taotao suddenly opened his eyes, "Old Five, why do you think the old leader left us alone today?"
Geng Qiu Sheng was holding his bracelet in his hand, taking off his glasses with one hand and rubbing his nose bridge.
"I'm not sure. It feels weird, but I don't know what's wrong."
Chen Jinghuai felt that the custom-made suit was too small, so he unbuttoned it. Maybe he had gained weight because he neglected exercise?
"Brother Tao, is there a possibility that the old gentleman just wants to talk to us?"
The others looked at the third brother, and Liang Cheng asked, "Do you think an old man who has just recovered from a serious illness has a lot of free time? Or do you think the old chairman of Wen's Group has a lot of free time?"
Chen Jinghuai spread his hands, "How about we go back and ask the helmsman?"
Hou Taotao was suspicious, "Speaking of steering the ship, he should be back in the small apartment by now, right?"
"That should be the case. Zhang Xiaomeng is following him!"
Everyone, look at me and I'll look at you.
There's something really...wrong!
