Lin Zhenguo drank two glasses of water, and the heat and fear in his body gradually subsided. He sat on a chair in the main room and looked around carefully. The place was quite large, but because there was not much furniture, it seemed a little empty.
A black square wooden table and four long benches.
Two chairs and a paint-chipped tea table.
"Master is worthy of being a master. He doesn't care about fame or fortune. He must have practiced very hard. No wonder his cultivation is so high." Lin Zhenguo said with admiration on his face.
Lu Cisui, who brought in the fruit, said: ...
Does Bozi’s uncle have too thick a filter for him?
"Actually...it's mainly because I'm poor."
Lin Zhenguo stood up to greet him, shook his head and said sincerely, "No, no, no, Master, you are the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang. Even if you live in a straw hut, you have achieved great accomplishments. If it weren't for you today, I would be dead."
"..." Lu Cijiu had been in this business since he was a child, and had never been praised so highly. His face flushed slightly, and he embarrassedly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Lin, please sit down and have some fruit. I didn't find anything when I went to your house last time. If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to go to your company."
Lin Zhenguo came here for this very reason. When he heard the master get straight to the point, he naturally agreed. He asked with anticipation and trepidation, "Master, can we do it now? I'm really scared. My son is still in the hospital for surgery. I don't know what's going on. I feel like a knife is hanging over our family's heads. First, it's me, Wanwan, then my son and I. I don't know what will happen in the next second."
"Have lunch." Seeing Lin Zhenguo's anxiety, Lu Cijiu explained, "They're coming for you. They'll be fine for a while."
Lin Zhenguo naturally agreed. He didn't dare to run around and shamelessly planned to stay.
Needless to say, as soon as he arrived at the yard, his heart naturally calmed down, and he no longer had the feeling of panic, cold hands, and fear that he had on the way here.
Without greeting Lin Zhenguo, Lu Cijiu still had to cook.
The dough was kneaded before going out, and it was left to rest. The pork belly was cut into cubes, and the green onions and cucumbers were all prepared. Now it is very convenient. I can stir-fry the pork belly in a pot to make the mixed sauce and say goodbye to the old hand-rolled noodles.
The dough is chewy and it will be ready in just a few strokes.
He scooped out the sauce and put it into a jar. He made a large jar. It was convenient. He could just heat it up and eat it with noodles whenever he wanted. It could last for several meals.
Lin Zhenguo drank a bowl of soy milk and ate two steamed buns in the morning. He didn't feel hungry because he was worried all morning. Now he was sitting in the main room. A fragrance came into his nose, and his stomach, which didn't feel hungry at first, started to growl.
A bit embarrassing.
But it smells so good.
Lin Zhenguo couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he saw the west room, which should be the kitchen - that's where the smell came from.
There were four children and a long-haired man at the door.
These are the four Taoist children and Master Lu’s assistants that my wife mentioned.
Master Lu is indeed a master.
The food is so delicious.
Lin Zhenguo swallowed his saliva in frustration and heard Master Lu say, "The meal is served." Then he saw the assistant at the door go in first, followed by the four younger ones, all in an orderly manner.
The master wanted to eat, but he was too embarrassed to open his mouth.
"Mr. Lin, come and have dinner with us." Lu Cijiu saw that it was already noon, and there was no shop in the surrounding villages. After all, he was Bozi's aunt, so he stayed to have dinner together and do business together in the afternoon.
"I'm so sorry—" Lin Zhenguo instinctively declined politely, but when he saw the cold, 'just don't eat' look from Master Lu's assistant, he immediately said decisively, "Thank you so much, Master Lu. I won't be polite."
Gong Xichao snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else.
The noodles, rinsed with ice water, were less sticky and more elastic. They were topped with shredded cucumber and scallions and a generous spoonful of mixed sauce, and the flavor was divine. Lin Zhenguo, a typical northerner with a fondness for noodles, watched Master Lu portion out the noodles and drizzle the sauce, only able to secretly swallow his saliva.
"Since you are a guest, give this bowl first—" Lu Cijiu met the eagle's gaze, made a move with his hand, and said with a smile: "Give it to Brother Gong first. Brother Gong has worked hard to help take care of the children all morning."
Gong Xichao's expression improved finally. He glanced at Lin Zhenguo and thought, "How dare you compete with him for something like this?"
Lin Zhenguo could see the hostility from his assistant, but he didn't care. His attention was now focused on the zhajiangmian. It was his turn second to last, so he immediately stirred the noodles. The aroma was so fragrant that he couldn't wait to eat it in two or three mouthfuls. Then he found that everyone at the table was staring at him.
The four well-behaved Taoist children all stared at him.
Lin Zhenguo: ???
"Eat, it's time for dinner." Lu Cijiu finished preparing the meal for himself and took a bite, feeling very happy.
Lin Zhenguo noticed that everyone had all lowered their heads to eat their noodles, no longer looking at him. It took him a few seconds to realize that Master Lu hadn't moved, and no one dared to move.
Master Lu is really good at training.
In fact, the cubs and the eagles are not really "daring", but respecting Lu Cijiu's hard work.
This was the most satisfying and delicious meal Lin Zhenguo had ever had, and he was full of compliments: "Master Lu, if you opened a restaurant with your cooking skills, no one else would be able to survive.", "Wow, this tastes even better than the authentic restaurants I ate in Kyoto.", "Master Lu, you are truly multi-talented..."
Lu Cijiu felt a little embarrassed by the flattery. If Uncle Bozi continued to talk, he would soon be known for his virtue and talent.
"You're welcome, another bowl?"
"Oh, good."
After dinner, clean up.
The car that Lin Zhenguo called for also arrived.
Because of Master Lu's grandeur, with four Daoist disciples and one assistant, Lin Zhenguo arranged two cars. However, he didn't dare to ride alone. He had a psychological trauma and asked shamelessly, "Master, can I ride with you?"
"No." Assistant Gong ended the topic simply, rudely and coldly.
Lin Zhenguo: ...
"You sit with the children." Lu Cijiu first coaxed the eagle, "business is more important."
Gong Xichao's face was stern and he was about to lose his temper, but Lu Cijiu opened his mouth and whispered to him, "Money." Gong Xichao: ... reluctantly said, "Alright."
His eldest son is still very obedient to his father. Lu Cijiu turned to Lin Zhenguo and gave him a polite smile, "Mr. Lin, please get in the car."
We had a safe journey to Lin's Enterprise.
The Lin family is a long-established company in Yuncheng, steadily established and upright, with a strong foundation. The company is located in a bustling commercial district. As the car pulled up, Lin Zhenguo, anxious, didn't even need the driver to open the door. He jumped out, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master Lu, please."
The security guard at the door opened his eyes wide, curious about who was this person who deserved such courtesy from their boss.
I saw a very young, fair-faced guy getting off the car. He had black hair with fashionable curls. He looked good, clean and handsome, but I didn't see any sign of a "master".
A man with long hair and a better-looking face than a celebrity emerged from the car behind. He was tall, about 1.9 meters tall, right? He looked like someone who was not to be trifled with, with a stern expression. Four beautiful, delicate girls were standing beside him.
What kind of rules are these?
The security guard didn't understand and was very confused.
The company employees were also confused.
"Master, please take a look. Is the lobby okay?"
"It's quite clean. Let's go directly to your office." Lu Cijiu said.
Everyone saw the boss leading the way for the "master" in front, with the long-haired handsome man next to the young master and four pretty and lovely children following behind him.
What kind of master is so impressive? He has to be accompanied by four children and a big man every time he goes out?
Everyone saw with their own eyes that the boss pressed the elevator button and escorted the master in. When the elevator door closed, they whispered, "Is our boss possessed today?", "Don't talk nonsense. Did you see the news this morning? The boss's car overturned and had an accident.", "What? I didn't see it. Tell me what happened."
The employee who was slacking off and reading the news pulled out his phone. "Look, look, someone filmed the CEO right next to the car, and Manager Lin was inside. The car flipped over pretty badly, but our CEO is fine. What does that mean?"
"What?"
"The master that the boss just praised is very likely to have real skills."
There were also those who didn't believe it, young people who had attended university and received a scientific education. They scoffed and said, "What a mess! I think our boss has lost his mind. Is the company going to go bankrupt?"
Bankruptcy is not an option.
"...The Ghost Gate Blood Formation, at best, could lead to financial losses and bankruptcy." Lu Cijiu looked at the coral ornament on Lin Zhenguo's desk. "Who gave it to you?"
Bankruptcy!
Lin Zhenguo's brain was full of blood as he stared at the ornaments. "It can't be the Zhou family. I've been dealing with Old Zhou for over 20 years. I thought it was the Haohui Group. Wang Hao of Haohui has only risen to prominence in recent years and his methods are ruthless. At the last cocktail party, I exchanged a few words with Wang Hao, and Old Zhou even helped me to criticize him..."
"In serious cases, I could take your life. The latter requires your birth date, blood, or hair."
"Fuck you, Zhou Xin, you old bastard, you will have no descendants." Lin Zhenguo was so angry that his face turned purple and blue and he cursed loudly.
Lu Cijiu didn't expect that Lin Zhenguo, who was so serious and respectable just now, would curse, and he couldn't stop him. Now he could only look at the four cubs that couldn't reach his thighs.
"Cover your ears. Don't remember what you just heard. It's not a good curse word."
One, two, three, four, he covered his ears obediently with a confused look on his face.
Lu Cijiu praised him for being well behaved, and Lin Zhenguo also came back to his senses. The veins on his forehead were still blue with anger. He met Master Lu's eyes, his face embarrassed, and said: "I'm sorry, Master Lu, I couldn't help it. How about I ask my secretary to take the little boys to the lounge to eat snacks and play?"
"Okay." Lu Cijiu knew that the kids didn't feel safe in a strange place, so he turned to look at his eldest son and said in a gentle tone, "Brother Gong, why don't you take the kids to rest for a while?"
Gong Xichao glanced at Lin Zhenguo and said, "It's done. I'll take care of the rest."
You work, I get paid.
"Of course, you have the final say on our family's finances," Lu Cijiu said quickly.
Sure enough, I saw that Brother Diao's expression softened, with an expression of cold praise saying "Very good, very good, keep it up", and he leisurely took the four little ones out.
Lu Cijiu met Lin Zhenguo's curious eyes, coughed, and said, "In our institute, I'm in charge of technical matters, and Brother Gong, my assistant, is in charge of the negotiations."
As for the four Taoist children, they are responsible for acting cute and eating.
Lin Zhenguo didn't know about this, so he nodded repeatedly and flattered him, saying, "As expected of Master Lu, he's not involved in money and has a noble character..."
Lu Bijiu: ...
Duck doesn't need to brag about him so much.
You'll know when you check out.
