"What's wrong? Xiao Tang!"
Seeing that Tang Xiaotong looked like he had seen a ghost, Xu Bo'an asked casually.
At the same time, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, couldn't this guy really come to the door just after mentioning Qi Xiaoxue?
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an's face suddenly darkened and he frowned.
He was not afraid that Qi Xiaoxue would be difficult to deal with, but seeing this guy really affected his mood.
After all, today is a society governed by the rule of law. No matter how much you think about relieving your anger, you can't really do anything about it. You have to do it within the scope allowed by the law.
Xu Boan is not great enough to ignore the existence of cuckolds, so this thorn really bothers him.
Tang Xiaotong forced a smile and said with a stuttering voice: "Xu...Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I was rude. I saw a somewhat annoying person. I don't want to see him. I'm going to hide here for a while."
Hearing that Tang Xiaotong was not like this because of Qi Xiaoxue's appearance, Xu Boan relaxed, his frown relaxed, and he looked at Tang Xiaotong with a hint of understanding.
I have to say that in many cases, beauties still have privileges.
If another person had said and done this, there would be a high probability that he would be scolded by the leader or leave a bad impression.
But when Tang Xiaotong said these words, coupled with that charming expression, Xu Bo'an felt a sense of protectiveness.
"It's a small matter, but I'm very surprised. Who else in our company can make you stay away now!" Xu Bo'an said jokingly, hoping to relieve Tang Xiaotong's nervousness.
Today's Dongjiang Second Construction can be said to be dominated by Xu Bo'an.
As Xu Boan's secretary, Tang Xiaotong is an absolute upper-class figure, and is also what people call "chief" in private!
Moreover, this is not only Tang Xiaotong's matter, but also involves his own face!
After all, it depends on the owner to beat a dog.
Therefore, it is hard for Xu Bo'an to imagine who could make Tang Xiaotong so humble and embarrassed!
Tang Xiaotong's face turned red, with an embarrassed expression on her face, and said: "Mr. Xu, you misunderstood. He is not from our company, but..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a "bang bang bang" knock on the door.
"Xiaotong? Is it you! I saw you just now."
Hearing the sound coming from outside, Tang Xiaotong's face was even more startled, her mouth formed an "O" shape, and she seemed a little at a loss.
"Xiaotong, I know you are inside. Don't hide from me. Listen to my explanation."
Seeing Tang Xiaotong hesitating at the door uneasily, Xu Bo'an stood up and pointed to the small suite in the office, got up and walked in, closing the door.
This small suite is simply decorated in a standard room style. It can be used for lunch breaks or temporary naps on weekdays. At this time, it has become an excellent hiding place.
Although Xu Boan had no intention of peeping and eavesdropping, he had excellent hearing and could easily hear the sounds in the outer office.
Not long after he came in, Tang Xiaotong opened the door.
Soon, the sound of slightly heavy footsteps was heard, it must be the man outside walking in.
"Xiaotong, why are you avoiding me? Do you really don't want to see me again?"
Tang Xiaotong said in a cold voice: "From the day you left without saying goodbye, there is no need for us to meet again."
The male voice said with some excitement: "That's not the case, I really have difficulties."
Tang Xiaotong said sarcastically: "The reason? Haha, it's hard for me to imagine what kind of difficulties would allow my own boyfriend to get together with my roommate in the same dormitory! Don't tell me that you are not pregnant. It's up to you, okay? I'm not that easy to lie, am I?"
The male voice said in an innocent tone: "I really couldn't help myself. Since you can guess it, why can't you listen to my explanation."
Tang Xiaotong said sternly: "Have you watched too many TV series? What I said are just the plots of TV movies. Do you think I will believe it?"
The male voice seemed to show a very sincere attitude and said: "I don't care what you think of me, but it's all true. At that time, Liu Jun told me that she had photos of you in the dormitory bathroom... on her phone. If I didn't You promised to be good to her, but she went all out to put your photo on the campus website and post it on campus. The worst she could do was go to jail. I saw how crazy she looked, and in order to protect you, I..."
Tang Xiaotong seemed a little out of sorts and shouted: "That's enough. You really treat me like a three-year-old child. Wei Wei, get out of here! I don't want to see you again."
There was a chirping sound, which seemed to be the shaking of paper, and then the man's voice came again: "Xiaotong, look, what is this?"
"I told you to get out!" Tang Xiaotong issued the eviction order again.
But obviously, the man did not go out, but continued to explain: "I have already had a showdown with Liu Jun's father Liu Huawen. If she threatens me again, I will call the police! She and I have broken up, and I took the initiative to apply for transfer." Leave the first company and start from scratch in the second company.
Liu Huawen also agreed and helped me contact the human resources department of the group. He also said that he would definitely be optimistic about Liu Jun and would not let her do stupid things! This is my transfer application. Look, it’s real. It’s stamped by the human resources department of the group company! "
"That's enough, Wei Wei, I don't want to hear any more explanations from you! Besides, this is the chief engineer's office. I have other things to do, so I won't spend time here with you. Please get out of the way!" Tang Xiaotong scolded again in a cold voice.
The man named Wei Wei was instantly frightened and made a guilty sound: "What? Chief Engineer's Office! I...I don't know! Xiaotong, I just reported to the Engineering Department, I heard that you didn't go Why do you want to be the director of the General Office or the head of the General Department? Now you are working as a secretary to the Chief Engineer! I came here specifically to find you. I... I really didn’t mean to intrude. Don’t tell Mr. Xu. I’ll do it first. Let’s go, I’ll wait for you outside, okay.”
Tang Xiaotong said: "No need, I don't want others to misunderstand my relationship with you! You'd better stay away, lest Mr. Xu comes later and meets you again! I guess he doesn't have a good impression of you, right?"
Wei Wei said in a pleading tone, "Okay, I'm leaving, why don't I leave! I'm really here for you, Xiaotong, you have to believe me."
"Are you leaving or not!" Tang Xiaotong became impatient.
"Let's go! I'm leaving now!"
After some extreme pulling, Wei Wei opened the door and left.
Xu Boan soon heard the crisp sound of high-heeled footsteps approaching, and then there was a knock on the door of the suite.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, for making you laugh."
Xu Bo'an pretended to reach out and pick out his ears and walked out, smiling and said: "Sorry, the sound insulation effect of this room is really bad."
Tang Xiaotong pursed her lips for a moment and suddenly said: "Mr. Xu, the man just now is called Wei Wei. He was my boyfriend in college. You have also met him. At the last banquet organized by Chairman Su of the Dynasty Hotel, he and The daughter of Liu Huawen, the deputy general manager of a company, is together. Vice President Liu’s daughter and I were former classmates and roommates! "
Xu Boan nodded slightly.
Xu Boan remembered this person. When Su Tai first took office that day, he hosted a banquet for some leaders of Dongjiang Construction Engineering and team members of its branches.
While at the Dongjiang Hotel, Xu Boan and Tang Xiaotong met one of her female college classmates, whose father was Liu Huawen, the deputy general manager of a company.
The handsome-looking man was the companion standing next to the female classmate.
It seems to be called Ah Wei!
It seems that I heard at that time that I was going to work as the deputy director of the General Affairs Department on a following project to gain experience.
In order to save face for Tang Xiaotong, Xu Bo'an directly asked Tang Xiaotong to work as the director of the comprehensive office on the project, and it was also a new project in the ancient city of Jiuchang Street in the city. After two years of experience, he came back to work as the office director.
But that group of people were shocked.
I really didn’t expect that that guy would be transferred to the second company!
"What do you think?" Xu Bo'an asked.
Tang Xiaotong shook his head expressionlessly and said: "Mr. Xu, if I make you laugh, I will definitely handle this mess. For my personal affairs, it is really inappropriate to disturb your work. I am now Just go and notify Zhao Jianming from the Quality Safety Department, Engineering Department and the canteen that what you just ordered will be done immediately."
Xu Bo'an nodded, knowing that Tang Xiaotong didn't want to mention personal matters, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Soon, two cars drove out from the gate of Dongjiang Second Building.
Xu Boan took the lead in a Toyota Crown owned by Zhao Jianming.
The two department heads of the Engineering Department and the Safety and Quality Department followed closely behind.
I have to say that contracting the company's canteen is a very profitable job. Xu Bo'an smiled and asked: "Old Zhao, if I remember correctly, when I came to the company for a meeting the year before last, your car was still a sedan. Is it Sang’s?”
Zhao Jianming chuckled and said: "Actually, I quite like Santana. My wife used to drive this car. After receiving your instructions yesterday, I thought that I couldn't let Mr. Xu condescend to sit with me in that old car of decades. Car, that’s why I asked my wife to deliver this car.”
Xu Bo'an chuckled and tacitly did not continue the topic.
When it's time to strike, just mention it casually, the other party's explanation is already perfect, and if you pursue it yourself, it seems that you care too much about the profit.
Xu Bo'an leaned back and said, "I'll squint for a while. Let's go to a teahouse in the northern suburbs later. You can find it on the map. When we get there, wake me up."
Zhao Jianming nodded hurriedly and said: "A teahouse? I know this place, Mr. Xu. A friend of mine drove it. No need for navigation. Don't worry."
Xu Bo'an perked up when he heard this: "Oh? Did your friend drive it?"
Seeing Mr. Xu's interest, Zhao Jianming hurriedly explained: "Ah, yes, we are classmates in a technical school. He met his wife when he was working outside. His wife is from Wuyi Mountain, and her family runs a small tea-making workshop. After getting married, the couple worked outside for several years without making any money, so they came back and opened this teahouse. At that time, they asked me to borrow some money."
When Xu Bo'an heard this, he felt even more reassured. Having this kind of information that he knew thoroughly could make people feel more at ease.
But this world is really small.
Soon, the car stopped next to a classical courtyard.
Compared with the surrounding villages where most of the self-built houses are two-story buildings, this small courtyard with only one floor seems a bit out of place.
After walking in under the leadership of Zhao Jianming, Xu Boan realized that there was a unique scenery here.
In the yard, there were several tea trees and flowers planted that Xu Bo'an knew some of and some didn't recognize.
On a large wooden shelf next to it, there are several large bamboo strips discs drying, holding some cleaned green tea leaves to dry.
On the other side of the yard, there is a row of five adobe stoves with large iron pots placed on them. A shirtless man is vigorously waving a small shovel in his hand and constantly stir-frying. Holding tea leaves in the pot.
Waves of tea fragrance floated over from that area.
"Old Zhang, we have a guest, please greet us quickly! Let's serve some good tea!"
The man frying tea raised his head and glanced, stretched out his hand to wipe his face with the white towel around his neck, and said with a smile: "Go to the ball side, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? Your father and I are busy, go in and find tea by yourself." , Xiaohong is not here!"
Zhao Jianming smiled sarcastically, then smiled at Xu Bo'an in a somewhat disgraceful way, and hurriedly shouted: "Get out of here, you are really a distinguished guest, our leader is here!"
Xu Bo'an also smiled and said: "Master Zhang, what a coincidence. Zhao Yuntao originally introduced me here. I didn't expect to tell Lao Zhao that he also knows you."
Master Zhang who was frying tea: "Mr. Zhao? You are Mr. Xu! Oh, I'm so sorry! I'm busy with the most important process at hand, and I really can't leave! I have to ask Mr. Zhao to greet you for me."
Xu Bo'an walked over slowly and said, "It's okay. I don't have anything urgent to do anyway. Master Zhang, if you don't mind, I'll take a look around here. I'll gain a lot of experience. Is it convenient for you to see?"
Master Zhang smiled and said: "Look what you said, it's my blessing that you can come. Just look at it as you like. Lao Zhao, don't be idle. Go look for it in the jar on the table and help make a pot." I’ve just brought back the Mingqian Longjing, and I’ll let the leaders taste it and check it for us.”
After a while, Zhao Jianming was seen striding out with a big teapot, and said with an embarrassed look: "Mr. Xu, we don't know the art of tea, so you can try it! This guy Lao Zhang said this tea is good, so it should be It’s okay, please help check it.”
Xu Bo'an wandered around the courtyard boredly and drank tea for more than ten minutes. Master Zhang over there had already fried the tea leaves in the pot.
He quickly walked over wiping his face and smiling.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhao said you have good tea to open my eyes, but I couldn't bear it for a long time. I really can't spare the pot of Mingqian Longjing."
Xu Bo'an said with a smile: "Master Zhang's business is bigger than I thought. I should call him Boss Zhang."
Master Zhang smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, please stop teasing me. In front of you, I am just a small workshop. And many of the teas here are roasted and fried on behalf of other tea houses and shops." , it’s just hard-earned money for crafting expenses.”
Hearing what Master Zhang said, Xu Boyan felt even more relieved.
When he took out the small bag of so-called Dongshan leaves he had brought, which he inferred were Dahongpao tea leaves, he gently placed them on the stone table in front of him, pushed them in front of Master Zhang, and loosened the loose bag. , revealing the tea leaves inside.
Xu Bo'an paid attention to Master Zhang's actions with his own eyes. As soon as the master saw these tea leaves, his eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't put them down for a long time.
This looks like an expert, and Xu Bo'an is looking forward to it.
Xu Boan was quietly waiting for the next step when his cell phone rang.
When he saw that the call was from Song Zhiqiu, the owner of Yiyezhai, Xu Boan was suddenly startled. Oh, yes, he had planned to call Song Zhiqiu earlier to ask why the bonsai delivery box in the city was empty.
As a result, I forgot about it as soon as I got busy.
Now that Song Zhiqiu's call came over, I just wanted to ask.
With an apologetic expression, Xu Bo'an stood up, walked aside, and answered the phone.
As soon as the phone call came through, Song Zhiqiu's voice came over.
"Boss Xu, how's it going? I've received your bonsai. It's not bad!"
Xu Bo'an was just thinking about asking the other party if it was possible that the goods were shipped empty, when he heard Song Zhiqiu continue: "It's strange to say, I obviously just sent you the goods not long ago. When I checked the receipt just now, But I found that you had withdrawn it three months ago. Is this a joke? There may be a problem with the system records, but the taxes that should be reported here have been reported. I want to explain it to you. It’s a bit difficult to issue an invoice, please see if you still need an invoice.”
Xu Boan frowned and shook his head, saying: "Forget it, no more invoices."
Song Zhiqiu, who was on the other end of the phone, was very happy when he heard this. He immediately smiled and said: "Boss Xu is really refreshing. So, I have a new batch of small objects to put in the bonsai. You can come over and have a look when you are free. , see what you need, and then take some back to match, maybe it will be more artistic."
When Xu Bo'an heard this, he said with great interest: "Oh? That's good. I'll have to go and have a look later. But Boss Song, where did you buy these small items? If it's not convenient for me to tell you, I'll ask again, can you? You can’t customize something or anything.”
Xu Boan suddenly thought that some of the things he had put in the bonsai world before seemed a bit rough.
If there are professional bonsai objects made for display, wouldn’t you be able to customize them as needed and buy them for use?
How convenient!
Song Zhiqiu said cheerfully: "What's the inconvenience? I get all the goods here from my elder brother in the provincial capital. He specializes in bonsai and peripheral products. If you have any needs, just drop by." You can check it out when you go to the provincial capital, I'll send you his contact information later."
Xu Boan said a few polite words, and the two ended the call.
Soon, a new business card arrived via WeChat contact information.
After Xu Bo'an added the other party as a friend, he was approved in seconds without any authentication at all.
Soon, Xu Bo'an saw more types of bonsai and various bonsai accessories in the other party's circle of friends.
There are scaled-down versions of stone tables and benches, pavilions and pavilions.
There are miniature carts, carriages, and sedans.
There are also little figures of various shapes, as well as corresponding small houses and yards.
Xu Bo'an even saw miniature pots and pans placed on the small stove in a regular manner. They fit perfectly and seemed to be made of stainless steel, but he didn't know if they were made of 304 stainless steel.
Seeing the pots and pans, the corners of Xu Bo'an's mouth suddenly rose.
Boy, this stuff is pretty good.
Take it out as a new prize and give it to the little people in the bonsai world. They will go crazy with joy.
Xu Bo'an was enjoying himself when he heard an exclamation coming from behind him.
"Ah, husband, where did this fine Dahongpao come from? The quality of these teas is no worse than the leaves on the Dahongpao mother plants in our hometown! If my father knew about this, he would be Rush over from Wuyi Mountain in a hurry!"
When Xu Boan heard this, he felt even happier.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Xu Bo'an was smiling happily here, but all the little people in the bonsai world were all looking sad.
Just now, news came that the rebels were attacking Shanyang County from the other direction.
Because most of the Shanyang Order was transferred, the rebels invaded most of Shanyang County's territory, and the county was already in danger.
Li Qingshi stood at the window sill, looking anxiously in the direction of the county seat, wondering what Sun Weiwei's situation was now.
The next moment, Li Qingshi gritted his teeth as if he had made a decision, reached out to pick up a pin presented by Xu Boan, and walked out of the room without hesitation.
Thank you all for your encouragement! The author will definitely work hard! The first snow of winter is here, the weather is cooling down, please keep warm!
