Li Xu also understood, so he said cheerfully, "You are my uncle, if you don't help me, who will?"
"That's right, as an uncle, it's only natural for you to help your nephew." Liu Gang echoed, then said excitedly, "Lao Xu, the food hasn't been served yet, so please explain it in detail."
"Yes, yes, tell me in detail." Li Xu looked at him expectantly.
Uncle Xu looked up and around, then whispered, "Actually, I don't know much. I only know that his entire family died before liberation, leaving him alone. He was an educated man, unable to lift anything, so he ended up becoming a live-in son-in-law. Thanks to his literacy, he quickly became the director of the supply and marketing cooperative after joining it."
Liu Gang immediately sneered, "He's such a loser. A grown man actually becomes someone else's son-in-law just because he can't do the work. If his ancestors knew about this, they would probably jump out of the ground in anger."
It is said that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, and the same goes for a son-in-law.
And his children can only take the woman's surname from now on.
How many men can stand this?
Even if you become a son-in-law decades later, you will be criticized, let alone in this era.
Li Xu's face changed. He glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one was paying attention. "Uncle Liu, please keep your voice down. It will be troublesome if others hear this."
Liu Gang reacted immediately, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "It's my fault. I got a little excited just now and couldn't control myself."
"Old Liu, can't you be more steady?" Uncle Xu grinned. "How could he not have thought of what you've thought of? Do you know his wife's last name?"
Li Xu suddenly remembered something and asked quickly, "Isn't his wife's surname also Feng?"
"Smart, his wife's last name is indeed Feng."
Li Xu and Liu Gang exchanged a glance, then muttered, "That old bastard is really cunning."
"Now I'm worried that if this news gets out, will people believe it?"
"Yes, his children have generations, the same generations as his wife's family." Uncle Xu said.
Hearing this, Liu Gang immediately laughed out loud, "Lao Xu, you are really amazing. You even know this."
"I know more, I just don't want to tell you."
Li Xu continued with a playful smile, "How about you tell me when you have time? I promise not to spread rumors."
"You're so young, why do you like to listen to this like an old woman?" Uncle Xu then looked at Liu Gang unhappily, "Such a good child, what have you done to him?"
The sudden rebuke left Liu Gang stunned.
It took him a while to react, and he pointed at his nose and asked in disbelief, "You said I led him astray?"
"What you said is really fresh. Could it be that he has led you astray?"
Li Xu's ears warmed when he heard this, and he explained in a low voice, "Uncle Xu, you misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with Uncle Liu."
"Huh?" Uncle Xu looked over in astonishment, his eyes full of complexity.
After a long silence, he raised his glass and said, "Lao Liu, I misunderstood you. Come, I'll toast you."
Liu Gang clinked his glass with his, and said with a mocking expression, "Now you know it's your nephew who led me astray. I'm lucky I didn't come after you."
After taking a sip of wine and letting out a breath, Uncle Xu continued, "Why are you looking for me to settle the score? You're already such a grown-up, and you're still being led astray by him. You don't even feel embarrassed to tell others about it."
Liu Gang: ...
Li Xu almost laughed out loud. He never realized that Uncle Xu's tongue was so sharp.
The three of them chatted for a while before the food was served.
Li Xu picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he said with satisfaction, "This stir-fried beef tastes really good. It's worth the price."
"This braised pork elbow is not bad either." After saying that, Liu Gang picked up another piece and put it in his mouth to taste it.
"I heard that the chef here is a master chef who was hired with great effort from the higher-ups, so the food must be good."
"Since it tastes good, eat more."
Then the three of them started eating diligently.
After eating and drinking, I returned to the office and saw Xiao Jianping coming over. "Lao Li, did you go to the high-end restaurant?"
"You didn't go?"
"No, I'm waiting to go with my parents. Tell me quickly, is the food there delicious?"
Seeing the envious expression on his face, Li Xu said with a smile, "It's delicious. The food in there is made by a master chef. It tastes so good. And the dishes in there are not available outside."
"Can't see you? What did you have for lunch?"
"The braised pork elbow and stir-fried beef, especially the pork elbow, are reddish-brown in color, the meat is tender and sticky, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry. I strongly recommend you try them."
Xiao Jianping's mouth almost watered after hearing this. He nodded repeatedly and said, "You really can't see it outside. When my parents take me there, I'll order these two dishes too."
"When the time comes, order a few more dishes and let me know if you find any that taste good."
"Okay, I'll go first." After saying that, Xiao Jianping turned and left.
At this time, a voice came from the car, "Xiao Xiao, don't leave yet."
Xiao Jianping turned around and asked, "Master Liu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Something's up." Liu Gang jumped out of the car and told them about Feng Huayuan's situation. Finally, he warned, "Xiao Xiao, tell this to your mother and your master. Do you understand?"
Xiao Jianping looked at him blankly, "Master Liu, did Director Feng offend you?"
"He not only offended me, but also our entire motorcade."
"Huh?" Xiao Jianping was a little confused and continued to ask, "What do you mean?"
"He wants your good brother to refuse the regularization position and give it to his wife's nephew. Do you think he has offended us?"
"Is this true? He dares to do this?"
Li Xu echoed, "Really, and he even threatened me."
Liu Gang patted Xiao Jianping on the shoulder and said, "We need to spread this news throughout the supply and marketing cooperative as quickly as possible, so we need to use your mother's mouth. Explain the whole cause and effect to your master, and I won't go to him anymore."
"Okay." Xiao Jianping scratched his head, then showed an excited expression, "Master Liu, is this news you're talking about true or false?"
"Really? I just heard this from someone outside."
"Okay, I'll go talk to my master."
After getting a positive answer, Xiao Jianping turned around and left excitedly.
It was obvious that he was very excited to eat such a big melon.
Liu Gang grinned and said, "Xiao Xu, tell the other masters in the car team about this. I'll go find the people in the logistics department."
Seeing his departing figure, Li Xu sighed, "Revenge never waits overnight."
