Seeing his father's mood, Mr. You was afraid of saying something inappropriate at the dinner table.
"Dad, please eat first and go to rest."
"What, I can't have lunch with her?"
"After all, she is a lady, and we are both men. If your temper gets worse, don't talk about what you want. It's hard to say whether the business can be successful or not."
His father stood angrily for a while, but he had no choice but to follow his son's wishes. He ate first and went up to the second floor to hide.
It wasn't until after half past ten that the guests finally arrived.
Fang Lan came to the door with gifts, "Thank you, Mr. You, for the invitation. I wonder who else is the guest today?"
Mr. You personally took the things from Fang Lan's hand, and then handed them to the aunt waiting behind, "You are the only one."
Hearing this answer, Fang Lan stopped for a moment, "I'm the only one here, doesn't it seem appropriate?"
Mr. You quickly said: "I mainly want to talk to you about the supply issues of our two companies. It would be inappropriate if there are too many people."
Fang Lan was accompanied by a driver and bodyguard.
"Lunch is ready. Mr. Fang, please take a seat with me."
Two people are eating, but the table is full of dishes.
The driver brought over by Fang Lan was invited to another dining table, where he could see Fang Lan but was a little far away.
"I cook all the vegetarian dishes by myself. You must try my handiwork."
Fang Lan was outside and was a person who was very willing to give people face. She praised it even before she tasted it: "I didn't expect Mr. You could cook. It looks delicious."
"Try it."
Fang Lan chose the nearest plate of vegetarian dishes, and she had a problem with this bite.
Isn't this a treasured dish that her father secretly gave her?
"How is it?" Mr. You looked at Fang Lan's expression expectantly.
"It's delicious." Fang Lan nodded, "It doesn't taste like ordinary vegetarian food."
"You know how to eat, this is indeed not an ordinary dish." Mr. You was still very happy when someone ordered the food he carefully prepared.
He didn't know that Fang Lan, who looked calm, was thinking: Is someone on her father's side causing trouble again?
It's not like someone took the food distributed by the association and sold it to Mr. You.
"Come on, all the vegetarian dishes on this table are extraordinary. Please try something else." Mr. You looked at Fang Lan eagerly.
Fang Lan ate vegetables as usual, "Indeed, the taste is completely different from the vegetarian dishes I usually eat."
"If you like it, you can come back anytime in the future."
Fang Lan understood the meaning of these words, but she did not continue, and the topic returned to the dish, "Where did you get this dish?"
"You want to buy it too?" Mr. You said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Although this dish is good, it is not easy to buy."
Fang Lan thought to herself, it's not difficult to buy. Their association has a quota for this dish. If they sell it again, how much can they get?
"Who did it come from..." Fang Lan deliberately prolonged his voice.
Sure enough, Mr. You began to answer, "This dish is bought from a mountain village in Shanglin Town. You must make an appointment before buying the food. You can only buy it after making an appointment. Otherwise, even if you go, the boss will not sell the food to you." your.
And the boss doesn't accept new customers, so I said, if you want to buy groceries from there, it's really a bit difficult.
But if it’s my share, then it’s your share too. "
Another sentence that was too ambiguous made Fang Lan feel disgusted.
This disgusted her, so she naturally stopped talking and only focused on eating.
She didn't speak, so Mr. You naturally took the initiative to find topics.
"The bracelet you are wearing on your hand looks a bit special."
Fang Lan was wearing a black rope on her hand, with only one bead strung on the rope. This kind of thing was obviously not the kind of jewelry someone at Fang Lan's level would choose.
It's obviously not for decoration either.
"The bracelet was given by someone else to ward off evil spirits."
A gift from someone else? When Mr. You heard this word, he felt uncomfortable.
"Do you believe this?" Mr. You pretended to show his surprise, "I thought people of our age didn't really believe in those things."
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Mr. You was afraid that his statement was too absolute, so he added: "But speaking of feudal superstition, I think of a person, Shang Shaojin from the merchant. I wonder if you have ever dealt with him? "
Fang Lan nodded, "I've met him a few times."
"He is just too superstitious and was defrauded of a lot of money." Mr. You continued: "Actually, I feel there are some things that normal people don't need to get involved in."
The meaning of these words was to tell Fang Lan to throw away the rope.
"I don't believe this either, but it is my father's intention after all." Fang Lan looked at the time again, thinking that he would be ready to leave after sitting for another five minutes.
Only then did Mr. You realize that he had misunderstood, "As parents, you are always worried about your children. You are wearing it to reassure them."
Fang Lan still didn't answer, and the meal became more and more embarrassing.
Mr. You laughed naively. He couldn't find a suitable topic for a while, so he continued the conversation along the topic of warding off evil spirits. "There is an Internet celebrity spot that is very popular on the Internet. It's called Hongshan Cave. You have you heard of it?"
Fang Lan shook his head, "Sorry, I'm usually busy with work and don't have time to read these things."
"Ah, I also heard what others said. It is said that that place is very effective in seeking wealth and marriage. It is only more than 200 kilometers away from us." Mr. You made an invitation, "If Mr. Fang is free anytime, I would like to invite you You go and see together.”
Fang Lan couldn't listen anymore. Although it didn't reach the point she set, she still stood up.
She raised her glass and said, "Mr. You, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." She took a sip of wine and said, "I wish our cooperation this year a smooth one."
After saying that, he put down his glass and left.
The driver who had been paying attention here immediately followed.
"Hey, Mr. Fang, how can you say so well and suddenly have to leave? You haven't even had a few bites of lunch." Mr. You chased him to the door.
"I always eat less." Fang Lan remained polite, "The food is delicious. Thank you, Mr. You, for the hospitality."
After being polite, the driver drove over and Fang Lan got in the car immediately.
In the car, Fang Lan called Lao Fang.
"Xiaolan, why are you free to see me today?" Lao Fang was surprised when he received the call. His daughter almost never came to see him as an adult.
"Tell you something." Fang Lan said simply and clearly, "I was invited to dinner today, and the vegetarian dishes they used were the ones you secretly gave me before.
After a brief understanding, he said that he bought it from a mountain village in Shanglin Town. You can judge for yourself whether it is true or false. "
After saying this, Fang Lan was about to hang up the phone.
"Hey, don't worry yet." Lao Fang said, "I'm very happy that you thought of telling me when this happened. But what the other party said should be the truth. The association's food was also bought in Shanglin Town. "
"You said that dish is very rare, how come a boss with a little money can buy it?"
Lao Fang lost focus, "Then who is the boss? Why did he invite you to dinner?"
"What else can you do besides business?"
