Chapter 58 No Hope of Promotion
"That's right. What man can stand wearing a green hat on his head? Fuck him!"
"Dry!"
When Boss Song heard this, his heart skipped a beat. At first he thought it might be a coincidence, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. There were simply too many coincidences. Every single thing, every single detail, basically matched up with his own story.
He was surprised and frightened, because the other party described it in such detail that it was as if he had seen the whole thing in person.
Seeing everyone's high spirits, the storyteller looked very satisfied. "Are you satisfied with Mr. Song's story today?"
There was a newcomer who didn't understand the ending and asked the storyteller to do it again.
He stood up and bowed: "I will still be here telling stories at this time tomorrow. If you want to listen, then it's time." After saying that, he was about to leave.
"Wait, how do you know all this? And you tell it in such detail." Boss Song couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted out the question.
The storyteller stroked his beard and said confidently, "There is no wall in this world that is completely airtight. This is true, absolutely true, and I am not lying at all."
Boss Song was not satisfied with the answer and wanted to ask more questions.
"Why are you asking around? This is someone's livelihood. Can I tell you?"
"That's right. What does it have to do with you? Why are you asking these questions? This Mr. Song, is he your relative or friend?"
Of course, Boss Song couldn't admit it. He wasn't the only official with the surname Song in Beijing. As long as he didn't admit it, who could say it was him? If people really knew it was him, how could he walk around in public in the future?
Do you want to save face?
He could no longer stay in this place. The most important thing for him now was to go back and think about what to do.
No matter what, this matter cannot be made a big deal.
After taking just two steps, a familiar figure walked in. It was Lord Qin, who also worked in the office.
He was ill a few days ago and is resting at home. They used to have a close relationship.
Seeing Boss Song, he was very friendly and called out loudly: "Master Song, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you drinking tea here?"
After Lord Qin finished speaking, the entire teahouse, which had been noisy just now, became quiet.
All kinds of eyes scanned Boss Song, combined with what he had just asked the storyteller.
They seemed to have found out something incredible by accident.
Thinking of the story the storyteller had just told, some were trying to hold back their laughter, some were looking down on him, some were just watching the fun, and some were even grinning mischievously, showing expressions that every man could understand.
This made Boss Song feel so embarrassed that he had no face to show.
But Lord Qin didn't notice that anything was wrong with everyone, and took the initiative to step forward and hook his shoulder.
Winking, he revealed a playful smile, "I heard that you took a concubine during my break. Is she pretty? I told you a long time ago that it's normal for a man to have three or four wives. How can you stick to just one woman? Is your concubine serving you well? If not, train her more. Practice makes perfect..."
Lord Qin's voice was not low, and the people around him let out suppressed laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Being stared at and laughed at for no apparent reason, Lord Qin immediately looked around with dissatisfaction.
Some people couldn't help themselves and laughed while shaking their shoulders: "It's nothing, I'm just sick, I was born to love to laugh..."
Lord Qin rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you're sick, get treatment sooner rather than later. Don't come out and get in the way."
The man continued to laugh: "Yes, yes, that's what the adults said."
There are always people who can't hold it in, and once there is one, there will be another. So no one can hold it in anymore, and everyone in the audience just bursts into laughter.
"What's wrong with these people? Is this teahouse's feng shui bad? What are they laughing at? Are they crazy?"
Boss Song's face was gloomy, secretly hating Qin for not being able to read people's moods and embarrassing himself. He pushed away the other person's hand that was hooked around his, "I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."
Lord Qin was pushed so hard that he almost couldn't stand. He wanted to ask something when he saw Boss Song walking hurriedly outside, as if something was chasing him.
"That's really weird. Why is he running..."
"Sir, this Mr. Song must have something to do at home and needs to go back first..."
There were some curious people in the crowd who couldn't help but make fun of him.
Lord Qin was even more puzzled. "How do you know that his family is in trouble..." He slapped his forehead and said, "No, how do you know his last name is Song..."
"Everyone in this teahouse knows Mr. Song's name."
After saying that, there was another burst of laughter.
Someone laughed so hard that the tea in their mouths spit out all over the floor. The waiter didn't bother to complain; he was too busy laughing to care about anything else. He just felt a stomachache.
Only Lord Qin was left confused.
From then on, I firmly believed that the feng shui of this teahouse was bad.
Facts have proved that when people are unlucky, it is not just one thing that happens, but bad things happen one after another.
The story in the teahouse became more and more intense as it was spread, and it became a joke not only in the teahouse but also for many people after dinner.
His appearance in the teahouse that day added a bit of fun to the joke.
Boss Song felt completely out of place in the office. Everyone looked at him with a mixture of wonder, amazement, and amusement.
This kind of gaze followed him like a shadow, making him feel itchy all over as he sat there.
The worst thing was that he wanted to see the senior official, but after a few days, the other party refused to see him.
Whether he could be promoted in the end depended on the other party's opinion. He was so anxious that he got angry and had several blisters on his mouth.
It hurts even to eat.
Song Rouxi has been feeling unwell these days. She found that when she attended a banquet, everyone was secretly laughing at her behind her back.
After asking around, I realized that everyone knew about my family's scandal.
Some of the young ladies who used to flatter her avoided her from a distance when they saw her.
Some people even secretly cast contemptuous glances at me.
She was so angry that she tore several handkerchiefs.
Yun Xi: "Miss, why don't we stay at home for now and wait until this situation calms down before going out to socialize."
As Song Rouxi's maid, Yunxi usually has her own small circle.
When the young ladies get together, their maids will also gather together to chat. Recently, these people have been avoiding them, which makes Yunxi feel very disappointed.
Song Rouxi gritted her teeth and said, "This is the only way."
This side of the government office.
Boss Song waited for a long time, and when the promotion news was finally announced, the worst result that he least wanted to face finally came.
It was almost certain that he would be promoted this time, but suddenly someone else's name was changed to the one in the news booklet.
Boss Song was dumbfounded and hurried to his superior's study.
"Sir...Sir, why did you change the promotion list?"
His superior, a gray-haired man, snorted coldly upon hearing this: "How dare you ask me? Just because I brought your name up, I almost got scolded as well."
Boss Song was unwilling to accept it: "But, it's just some small things at home. How can it be so serious that my promotion quota was taken away by someone else..."
"That's it? Of course not!" The superior was so angry that he was shaking all over. When he thought about how he almost got scolded for letting Song Liang get promoted, he felt dizzy and angry to the point of vomiting blood.
He originally thought that Song Liang was a smart, scheming, and good at dealing with people. In addition, he seemed to have some connections with the prince, so he wanted to do him a favor.
As a result, this kind of thing happened.
