Chapter 346 Refusal to Divination
When Lao Xiao arrived downstairs, I answered his call and went downstairs, got in the car, and called Mingbai: "There are two of us, Mr. Xiao, you know him. Let's go now."
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it."
I drove out of town. Lao Xiao asked, "Where are we going to eat?"
"Now it's trending for people in the city to eat outside the city, and people outside the city to flock to the city."
"I'm still not used to it. I've only been there for a little over two months, and it feels like I've returned from the countryside to a big city."
"By the way, don't mention anything about Boten anymore."
"Why?"
I recounted what Director Shen had told me. Old Xiao suddenly understood. He said, "From Mr. Chen's perspective, it's really difficult. If you don't obey your boss, he'll think you're arrogant."
I said, "Yes, the leader doesn't care about your life or death, he only cares about his political achievements."
Lao Xiao asked, "Was it your idea to build the fruit market and logistics center?"
"Yes, this requires less investment. Southeast Asia is a fruit producing area. If this business can be established, it will be a big business."
Ten miles out of the city, turn into a small road, and after a few turns, you will arrive at the foot of a hillside. There is a village at the foot of the hillside, with houses scattered sparsely and built high and low on the slope.
Mingbai's car was ahead, and he led us another mile and turned into a courtyard. I was surprised. Isn't this the place where Chen Ting took me that year?
To Sanqiu’s hometown.
Mingbai stopped the car, and to my astonishment, three beauties emerged from it. Three, meaning one for each of us. This Mingbai... what a mess!
A middle-aged woman came out of the room. I recognized her as Xiang Sanqiu's wife. She smiled at us and said, "Let's sit on the second floor."
When Baibai saw me, he exclaimed, "You've become darker and thinner." He then hurried to shake Lao Xiao's hand and said, "Welcome, Mr. Xiao." After that, he took me upstairs.
There were many flowers and plants in the yard. The three women didn't come to greet us, but went straight to look at the flowers and plants.
We entered a side room, which was very elegantly furnished, with a square table that looked to be of good quality, at least made of prickly pear wood, and a set of sofas covered with white gauze scarves.
I deliberately said, "Opening a restaurant in this area really requires someone you know to lead you there."
Mingbai said: "I opened it to the boss. It's a pity that he doesn't have time today, otherwise he would come to accompany you."
After a while, the three women came up and introduced themselves to them. They all smiled and nodded at us.
Mingbai introduced us to three more women: Xiao Su, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Yin. This kind of introduction, which only introduces the surname and nothing else, generally belongs to the host's private domain and is inviolable.
These three are dressed so sexy.
The little Su's breasts were large, half of them exposed. Although September was hot, it wasn't that hot in that place.
Xiao Liu wore a short skirt and a pair of rough black stockings. I thought it would be better if she didn't wear them. At least the legs of a twenty-something were more beautiful than rough black stockings.
Xiao Yin wasn't pretty, and her lipstick looked like pig's blood. She probably hadn't been in the city long and hadn't learned how to dress yet.
I studied their faces and behaviors and roughly understood what was going on.
Everyone sat down, and Baibai said, "There's no waiter here, so I'll be the waiter." Then he stood up to make tea. I said to Baibai, "You sit down, they should be the waiters."
Xiao Su just stood up and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Everyone sat down and asked about the situation in Boten. I said it was very good. Lao Xiao echoed that there were opportunities everywhere.
The three women became interested and asked them what they could do to make money.
I said, "You'll just starve to death there."
Xiao Su asked: "Why?"
I said, "There are construction sites everywhere, carrying cement and sand. I know I can earn a hundred yuan a day if I go there."
Everyone laughed.
Mingbai said: "I have introduced to you that Teacher Wan is a master of fortune-telling."
The three women asked me to tell their fortunes one after another.
I said, "For a thousand yuan each, I can help you test it."
Xiao Su said: "No way, it's so expensive?"
I said, "Rich people, I pay 10,000 yuan for one test."
Xiao Su looked at me and understood. However, he couldn't figure out why I said such a thing today, so he comforted Xiao Su: "Master, you are just joking."
Xiao Su said coquettishly: "Master, please help me test it."
"You can get the test if you pay."
Not only did he understand, but even Lao Xiao felt strange after hearing it, because I didn't look like I was joking at all.
Understand and say: "Then next time."
After a while, the food arrived. The three women sat still, busy setting the table. Everyone pretended to be harmonious, and finally finished the meal.
After eating, he served tea.
After finishing my tea, I stood up and said, "Leader Ming, three beauties, we'll take our leave first. I have something else to do."
At this time, Mingbai also stood up and said, "Let's go together."
Everyone gets in their own car.
After driving a mile, Lao Xiao asked, "Why are you so unhappy today?"
I said, "I really can't be happy. I thought he was a wise man, but when I got here I realized he brought three women with him. It's obvious they're prostitutes. I know if I keep going like this, I'll ruin myself."
Lao Xiao said: "There's something wrong with these three women. They have no manners. They don't know how to make tea or set the table. When they entered the yard, I thought they would come up to greet us, but they ran off to take pictures in front of the flowers in the yard."
"Right? If it's a girl working in our company, she'd be much more polite. After getting off the car, she'd greet the guests first, right? And when she gets to the second floor, she'd take the initiative to make tea.
These people are just lazy and lack the slightest social grace. In other words, they have no upbringing. Secondly, they have no professional training. If they're not from places like dance halls, then where are they from?"
Lao Xiao said: "I feel the same way, everyone is wearing heavy makeup."
I analyzed: "He's alone in the provincial capital, and his wife can't be transferred here immediately, so his life is indeed monotonous. But it's also too presumptuous to find someone like this.
I guess they brought two at first, and then when they heard you were coming, they found another one. Why is there not just one, but exactly three?"
"Since this is the case, your attitude today is right. You should teach him a lesson. He originally wanted you to do a fortune telling so that he could save face in front of them. But in the end..." Old Xiao couldn't help laughing.
I sighed. "I understand he performed well in Wu Township and was ambitious. But now that he's in the provincial department, the organization is so large that advancement is difficult, and he's become a bit self-indulgent. It's very dangerous to continue like this."
Lao Xiao said: "You worry too much, his future depends on himself."
I stopped talking about this topic, thinking, after all, I had helped him understand, so I hoped he would keep his composure.
The bus arrived at Xuri. I got off and was about to go back to 1701 when I heard someone call me: "Teacher Wan, I'm sorry I made you unhappy today. I'd like to come over and make some self-criticisms with you. Is that convenient?"
"Leader Bai, your words are too harsh. Why are you making self-criticism to me? I'm not your superior. If you come over and sit down, I'd certainly welcome you."
"Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes."
