Chapter 215 Shanghai Trip Part 4: This Day is So Happy

The next morning, we visited Luxi River.

Along the way, everyone was very interested, but I didn't pay attention. I added Cheng Na's WeChat, but it took a long time for me to get through.

About half an hour later, she added me.

"Boss Na, I'm the one who visited Mr. Dong last night. My name is Wan Shanhong. If you have the chance, please find out more about Mr. Dong's situation."

"OK."

After replying these two words, there was no news again.

Zhang Qingruo, who was sitting in the middle of the bamboo raft, looked back at me and said, "Teacher Wan, are you chatting?"

Lao Xiao laughed and said, "The scenery on both sides of the strait is not as good as a beautiful girl."

Mr. Chen joked, "Is there anyone prettier than Qing Ruo?"

Lao Xiao laughed and said, "It's not as pretty as Qingruo, but it's more elegant ()...omit one word: horse fork worm"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then understood and started laughing.

I retorted, "Qing Ruo is right. Mr. Xiao can't spit out ivory from his mouth. I'll also save a word: the dog-like sentence."

Xiao Ruan turned around, patted his thigh, and said happily: "Interesting, I will go out with you next time."

At this time, a bamboo raft passed by, full of young men. When they saw Zhang Qingruo, they immediately became excited and shouted, "Beautiful lady, let's sing a duet."

Xiao Ruan shouted, "Yes. Spit out ivory."

Over there, someone was laughing and singing:

"Hey, girl over there, look over here, look over here, is this guy handsome?"

Xiao Ruan pointed at the other person and sang:

"Don't be crazy, be careful not to fall into the Luxi River." After a pause, he added: "Feed the fish."

Everyone laughed. Zhang Qingruo said, "Oh, Xiao Ruan is quite good."

Lao Xiao said: "The driver has traveled far and wide and is full of talent, but he is more restrained in front of Mr. Chen. Otherwise, he would be able to perform better."

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Now that he's out, I don't care. It's still necessary to fight back."

Xiao Ruan said, "The boss is right. Not only is the sentence correct, but I also support every punctuation mark."

Mr. Chen said angrily, "You are just used to being smooth-talking."

Lao Xiao said: "Today, a certain comrade has remained silent."

Zhang Ruoqing asked Lao Xiao: "Where did you go last night? What kind of beauty did you see that made him lose his mind?"

Lao Xiao said: "He saw a girl who looked exactly like you on the street, and he walked over to her and asked for her WeChat. You see, he kept chatting."

Xiao Ruan said, "Your statement is wrong. It's exactly the same as Sister Zhang's. Why don't he just talk to Sister Zhang directly?"

Zhang Qingruo turned around and curled her lips at Xiao Ruan: "She must be ten times more beautiful than Sister Zhang. You don't even understand this."

I put my phone away. Since Boss Na hadn't replied to me in such a long time, I said, "I'll sing a few songs to entertain everyone."

Everyone applauded.

I cleared my throat and sang a folk song:

Why--

After passing one beach after another,

Sing a folk song to my sister,

Hey hey yo,

The older brother and younger sister are of the same height.

Mouth to mouth, waist to waist,

Hey hey yo

Just thinking about it in a dream,

I feel nervous when I see my sister.

Hey hey yo

My sister is white and pink,

My brother is numb and has sores.

Heheyo.

Mr. Chen turned his head to look at me and said with a smile, "Oh, Shanhong, I didn't realize you're such a versatile person."

Lao Xiao said, "I don't agree with the last two sentences. My sister is white and powdered, that's not right. My sister really has good skin and doesn't need powder at all. She is naturally beautiful.

As for you, it's not right to say you have both pimples and acne. As for pimples, there's not a single one on your face. As for acne, you must have had a few pimples in the past, but they're not noticeable now. You're being too modest in your singing."

Everyone laughed.

Only Zhang Qingruo didn't smile.

Lao Xiao challenged, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of my analysis?"

Zhang Qingruo pursed her lips for a long time before saying, "Finally, she spat out an ivory."

Xiao Ruan was amused and said, "Boss, I hope to extend my stay for another day or two this time."

Mr. Chen asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Ruan said, "I will gradually become a cultured person. You see how they compete with each other in conversation. If I learn more, I will learn too. Then you won't criticize me for being glib."

Mr. Chen smiled.

Only Secretary Ma remained silent. He was the chief steward, managing everything from itineraries and flights to hotels.

At noon, we had lunch in a stilt house in the scenic area. This was a custom meal arranged by Secretary Ma for everyone.

This stilt house is an octagonal pavilion built in the ground, half a person's height above the ground. We climbed up the stairs.

Lao Xiao said, "This is great. Our resort should learn from him and also do some outdoor dining like this."

I thought about it and said, "Isn't there a big pond in front of the villa? Let's renovate it and build a stilt house on the water."

When Mr. Chen heard this, he became interested and said, "Tell us about it in detail." I talked about my idea.

Zhang Ruoqing said, "Why not go to Bainiao Lake? Build a few boats by the water and anchor them on the shore."

I said: "Build a two-story ship and dine on the second deck. For something more artistic, there is a 'Little Song City' in Wuxiang, which uses Song Dynasty clothing and food.

Let's create a Han-style performance. Lao Xiao, holding a three-foot sword, plays Liu Bang, singing "The wind rises and the clouds fly, and I return to my hometown with power throughout the country." Qing Ruo imitates Cai Wenji, playing the qin and singing at the same time.

Zhang Qingruo looked at me and asked, "What are you singing?"

I smiled mischievously. Xiao Ruan urged, "Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us now."

I said, "I'll write a song about the farewells between lovers and friends."

Mr. Chen stared at me and said, "Jack of All Trades, write now."

I thought about it and said, "It's not mature now."

Lao Xiao said, "You're twenty-six or twenty-seven, and you're still immature? After you get married, do you need help from others?"

Mr. Chen smiled slightly, Xiao Ruan laughed loudly, Secretary Ma smiled with her head down, and Zhang Qingruo deliberately looked away with a pursed smile.

I said, “Just write it.”

Fireworks come to Shangzhou in March,

Are there any good friends like this on the island?

Invite Qing Ruo to drink.

Qing Ruo plays the qin and rides the boat with you.

In my dream, there is endless wine to drink in Jiangnan.

There are endless willows to be picked in the month of fireworks in March.

…

Even Ma's secretary sighed: "After some changes, it really is a good lyric."

Qing Ruo said, "Little Zhang's literary talent is not very good, nor is his appearance very good, but if there really is a boat, I would like to wear ancient costumes and sing a song for you, so that both the host and the guests can have fun together."

Secretary Ma said, "It's really possible. When General Zhang puts on ancient costume, with her long hair tied up in a bun, a tassel hairpin, and a long-sleeved, wide robe, the wind blows her sleeves fluttering, and she's as beautiful as the Four Beauties."

Mr. Chen sighed with deep emotion: "This trip is worth it. We have seen others' experiences and gained inspiration along the way.

That's a great idea. The water transportation department wouldn't approve of building warships, given the safety concerns. So, if we build a few ships that can dock near the shore, they won't have any objections, right?

Zhang Qingruo said, "We'll finalize it when we get back. Then, Teacher Wan can dress up in ancient costume and play a few songs. His female fans range from kindergarteners to senior citizens, from all walks of life."

Xiao Ruan laughed the loudest.

After laughing, he said, "Give me a chance. I can't play the piano, so I'll wear ancient costume and play the harmonica."

I shook my head: "That won't work. The harmonica was not invented until the 19th century. It's not the right time, and it's not a Chinese instrument.

You should find a time to go see your sister Zhang and ask her to teach you step by step. If you need to drive during the day, go at night."

Everyone chuckled.

Zhang Qingruo said to Xiao Ruan, "Don't talk to Teacher Wan. He sees even every punctuation mark as a trap."

Xiao Ruan smiled mischievously and said, "I think he even got the punctuation right. I really don't have time during the day, so I can only learn from you at night."

Everyone laughed again, and Lao Xiao said, "Qing Ruo, the most rogue person in the world is the driver. Teacher Wan and the driver are the same type."

Zhang Qingruo said, "I won't talk to you literary scoundrels anymore.

Mr. Chen didn't interrupt much and looked very happy. At this time, the food arrived.

Mr. Chen said, "Eat and drink well. Bring a bottle of white wine. Except for Xiao Ruan, everyone else should have a drink."

I enjoyed the meal very much.

Back at the hotel, we packed our bags and got in the car. Everyone was a little tipsy, except for Xiao Ruan, who was in high spirits. We drove, humming a little tune, and headed straight for Shanghai.
