Drinking, chatting, and listening to other people's gossip, Jia Dongsheng really likes the atmosphere of the pub.
"Sister Xueru, this Pian Ye looks a lot like the third uncle in our courtyard, except he doesn't wear glasses."
Jia Dongsheng took a sip of wine and said to Chen Xueru.
"Who is it?"
"Katanya?"
Chen Xueru was listening to Niu Ye and others talking about antiques. This woman was also very interested in antiques, but her attention was more on Jia Dongsheng. When she heard about this, she immediately waved to Pian Ye.
"Master Pian, here it is."
"Boss Chen?"
When Pian Ye heard someone calling him, he turned around and saw that it was Chen Xueru. His face darkened.
The speed of her expression change made Jia Dongsheng a little confused. He asked quietly, "Sister Xueru, is there any conflict between you two?"
"Hey, that's not a contradiction at all."
Chen Xueru smiled and raised her wine glass to Pian Ye, then explained, "It was this old guy. When the public-private partnership just started, I don't know through whose connections he became the official manager of my silk shop."
"Good fellow, he kept interfering in the business of the silk shop. How could I tolerate him? I dealt with him in no time."
"Finally, seeing that I was not easy to deal with, he resigned and quit his job. I don't know what he is doing now."
Chen Xueru's words made Jia Dongsheng exclaim in his heart, "Wow, this little woman is really so charming. She looks one way in his arms, another way when she's the boss in the store, and yet another way when she's facing Xu Huizhen. She's such a versatile enchantress, it's a pity she's not an actress."
"Boss Chen, do you want to ask me something?"
Although Pian Ye was very dissatisfied with Chen Xueru, he finally became a company manager, but was restricted in every way. Who would have thought that he would meet her while drinking? It was really a miracle.
But he was a man from the old city, so he couldn't admit defeat. He walked over with a glass of wine and greeted Chen Xueru.
"Nothing, just wondering what you've been up to lately. Are you doing the clown show again?"
Although Pian Ye looked unhappy, Chen Xueru didn't care. This was the moment for the winner.
"No one watches shadow puppet shows anymore, so I'm staying at home, thinking about starting a business."
"Business?"
After hearing what Pian Ye said, Chen Xueru smiled and said, "Then I wish you good fortune, Pian Ye."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kind words."
He bowed to Chen Xueru, then looked at Jia Dongsheng: "This brother is..."
"My surname is Jia, and my given name is Dongsheng."
Jia Dongsheng also stood up and bowed, then said, "Hello, Mr. Pian. I just think you look like someone I know, so I'd like to borrow Sister Xueru's name to get to know you."
"oh?"
Pian Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, then asked, "Who does he look like?"
"Yan Fugui is the third uncle in our courtyard. I wonder if you know him, Mr. Pian."
"Yan Fugui."
Hearing this name, Pian Ye's expression suddenly changed, a look of disdain flashed across his eyes, and he nodded calmly: "How can I not know him? I'm very familiar with him."
"Those are my aunt's cousins. They live in Luoguxiang, right?"
"That's right, I originally thought you just looked alike, but I didn't expect you were relatives?" Jia Dongsheng started chatting with a smile.
"Well, they are real relatives, but..."
Pian Ye didn't say anything else, but gave Jia Dongsheng a look that said you understand. Did Jia Dongsheng understand this look?
Of course I understand.
Yan Fugui's calculating personality made him scheme a lot against this cousin. As time went on, even though they were real relatives, he was no longer willing to visit them all the time.
After all, everything has to have a give and take, but Yan Fugui is completely give without any return. Even if the things he calculates are just small things, it still makes people disgusted!
As Pian Ye sat down, and with Yan Fugui as an acquaintance, the three of them drank and chatted, which was quite interesting.
"Hey, Mr. Pian, why are you sitting here?"
After Xu Huizhen finished her work for a while, she also came over to do it: "Dongsheng, I was busy just now. I'm sorry, I'll have a drink to apologize to you."
"Sister Huizhen is so polite."
Having said that, Jia Dongsheng picked up his glass and drank a glass as well.
"Okay, the boss lady is really good at drinking, let's drink some more."
Pian Ye also greeted Xu Huizhen. Those who came to drink were all repeat customers and were very familiar with Xu Huizhen. It was common for them to sit down and drink and chat.
"I didn't expect that the proprietress is so familiar with this Dongsheng brother?" Pian Ye was a little curious.
"You haven't been playing the foreign movie today, and I don't know what you've been studying."
Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "My brother Dongsheng is the last disciple of the old master of Heyi Hall. He has been staying in our Qianmen for a year, and you don't even know him."
"Yeah?"
As for the other people, Pian Ye didn’t know them, but he was very familiar with the old Chinese doctor in Heyitang.
In particular, he bought a lot of small pills used by old Chinese doctors to regulate the body. However, after Heyitang closed down, he lost the small pills. In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
In the past one or two years, because of the unpleasantness with Chen Xueru, he rarely came here, and only came to drink a few times at night. This also resulted in him not running into the Heyitang which was open during the day.
"Brother Dongsheng, does this mean you are still the old master's disciple?"
Pian Ye started to get serious and looked at Jia Dongsheng with narrowed eyes. He still remembered that little pill clearly.
Pian Ye, who was planning to do some business, suddenly felt that he had seized a business opportunity.
