Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 765 Sing a double act!
"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Wu Aiguo finished the work at hand, picked up the newspaper on his desk, and was waiting for the cafeteria to open when the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

When Wu Aiguo heard the phone ringing, he reached out to pick up the phone and greeted politely: "Hello! I am Wu Aiguo. Who is this?"

"Patriotic! It's me! Do you remember last night when Zhao Dongfang invited us to dinner, Wang Hongqi suddenly came to the box to toast? He is an old comrade with Director Yang of our factory. Just now Director Yang's secretary came to us The workshop asked me to invite Wang Hongqi to dinner at noon and asked me to accompany him." Wu Pingshan, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Wu Aiguo's questioning voice on the phone and immediately told him what happened when Secretary Liu came to him. Gave a general introduction to Wu Aiguo.

When Wang Hongqi came to the box to toast yesterday, although Zhao Dongfang did not introduce himself to Wang Hongqi, Wu Aiguo had a vague feeling that Wang Hongqi was here for him.

Wang Hongqi went to the steel rolling mill to find Wu Pingshan, which confirmed Wu Aiguo's suspicion in disguise. But what Wu Aiguo didn't expect was that Wang Hongqi and Yang Weimin were old comrades in arms.

When Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Wu Pingshan, he immediately understood the reason why Wu Pingshan called him. He smiled and said to Wu Pingshan: "Dad! Yang Weimin is the director of the steel rolling mill after all. Since he asked you to accompany him, then Just go ahead and remember my reminder and don’t easily agree to help during the meal.”

When Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiguo's instructions, he immediately remembered what happened with Zhao Dongfang, and quickly asked Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! If during dinner, Director Yang asks me to invite you to dinner, then I agree. ? Still don’t agree?”

Wu Aiguo heard the doubts raised by Wu Pingshan, pondered for a while, and said to Wu Pingshan with a smile: "Dad! If Yang Weimin asks you to help me treat me to dinner, just say that I am not free these two days. Wait. Let’s talk about it later.”

When Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiguo's answer, he immediately understood what Wu Aiguo was thinking and blurted out: "Isn't it just procrastination? Patriotism! I know how to deal with it."

Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiguo's advice and immediately replied: "Aiguo! Why are you like your mother? You are so verbose!"

The moment Wu Pingshan walked into the box, he had already seen Wang Hongqi sitting next to Yang Weimin. Faced with Wang Hongqi's proactive greeting, Wu Pingshan immediately stretched out his palm, shook Wang Hongqi's hand, and replied pretending to be surprised. Said: "Director Wang! Hello! I didn't expect that you and Director Yang are old comrades in arms!"

The dishes were quickly brought into the box. Yang Weimin looked at the dishes placed on the dining table and introduced to Wang Hongqi with a smile: "Old Wang! The chef of our factory is the descendant of the imperial chef. Hurry up and taste it. How about it?"

"Hello, Director Wu! I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon!" When Wang Hongqi saw Wu Pingshan walking into the box from the outside, he immediately stood up from his seat. Facing Yang Weimin's introduction, Wang Hongqi immediately stretched out his arms. He held out his palm and greeted Wu Pingshan leisurely.

After seeing Wu Pingshan greeting everyone, Yang Weimin smiled and greeted Wu Pingshan: "Old Wu! Come over here and sit down!"

When Yang Weimin heard what Wu Pingshan said, he smiled and introduced to Wu Pingshan: "Old Wu! Let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Wang Hongqi, the deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry! This is...!"

After Yang Weimin greeted Wu Pingshan to take a seat, he quickly ordered Secretary Liu: "Xiao Liu! You hurry up and notify the canteen to serve food!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Wu Pingshan's answer, he did not forget to tell Wu Pingshan: "Dad! You have to go to work in the afternoon, so drink less wine when eating."

At 11:30 noon, Wu Pingshan arrived at the canteen of the steel rolling mill. When he saw Yang Weimin and Wang Hongqi sitting in the box, he showed an apologetic expression on his face and said to Yang Weimin: "Yang Weimin Factory Director! I’m really sorry that something happened at the workshop, keeping you and the guests waiting for a long time.”

Wang Hongqi had a puzzled expression on his face when he heard Yang Weimin's introduction, and asked Yang Weimin curiously: "Old Yang! If I remember correctly, the chef of your factory is the successor of Tan's cuisine. When did you Changed master?"

When Yang Weimin heard Wang Hongqi ask about Silly Zhu's whereabouts, he immediately introduced Wang Hongqi with a smile: "Old Wang! As the old saying goes, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places! Master He made it a year ago. He has been transferred from our steel rolling mill to the Trading Department as the canteen director!"

When Wang Hongqi heard the situation introduced by Yang Weimin, there was a surprised expression on his face, and he quickly asked Yang Weimin: "Old Yang! What are you talking about, Master He was transferred from your steel rolling mill to the Trading Department? Is this true?" Yang Weimin Hearing Wang Hongqi's inquiry and seeing the surprised expression on Wang Hongqi's face, he nodded subconsciously and replied: "Old Wang! This is absolutely true. Master He is now the canteen director of the Trade Department!"

When Wang Hongqi heard Yang Weimin's answer, he pretended to be surprised and replied: "This is great! Old Yang! To tell you the truth, I came to Beijing this time just to purchase imported equipment, and I was responsible for the procurement work. My unit happens to be the Trading Department. Since Master He is the canteen director of the Trading Department, can you help me call Master He and ask him if he can help me get some purchasing quotas. "

When Yang Weimin heard Wang Hongqi's request, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, and said to Wang Hongqi: "Old Wang! You are dragging the monk to recognize your relatives, but instead of asking for the true Buddha, Lao Wu, you are looking for something far away. Run to ask Master He."

Wang Hongqi had a surprised expression on his face when he heard Yang Weimin's words, and asked Yang Weimin curiously: "Old Yang! Does Director Wu also know the leaders of the Trade Department?"

When Yang Weimin heard Wang Hongqi's words, he smiled and introduced to Wang Hongqi: "Old Wang! Old Wu is not the leader of the Trade Department, but the director of the Trade Department. It is under our control, Old Wu, because the director of the Trade Department , the second oldest child in the old Wu family.”

"What! What are you talking about, Lao Yang? Director Wu's son is the director of the Trade Department. So, the young man sitting next to Director Wu last night is the director of the Trade Department?" Wang Hongqi After hearing the news revealed by Yang Weimin, his face showed a shocked expression, and he quickly asked Yang Weimin.

Yang Weimin heard Wang Hongqi's words and replied with a smile: "I was not with Lao Wu last night, so how could I know who the young man sitting next to Lao Wu was, but Comrade Wu Aiguo is indeed very young."

When Wang Hongqi heard Yang Weimin mention Wu Aiguo's name, he immediately replied: "Old Yang! Yesterday, when Zhao Dongfang from the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Industry introduced Director Wu's son, he mentioned the name Wu Aiguo. It seems that Zhao Dongfang This guy is deliberately playing tricks on me."

After Wang Hongqi said this, he quickly raised the wine glass in front of him and said to Wu Pingshan who was sitting beside him: "Director Wu! I didn't expect that your son is actually the director of the Trade Department. Come on! Let's go first. "

Wu Pingshan heard Wang Hongqi's words and saw the wine glass Wang Hongqi raised. He smiled and said to Wang Hongqi: "Director Wang! When I met you in Hongbin Tower yesterday, I remember you once said something, fate We have come thousands of miles to meet each other, but we have no chance to meet each other! It is fate that we can meet here today. I will drink this glass of wine, as you wish!"

Yang Weimin, who was sitting aside, saw Wu Pingshan and Wang Hongqi finish the wine. He immediately picked up the wine bottles placed aside and filled Wang Hongqi and Wu Pingshan's glasses with wine. Then he smiled and said to Wu Pingshan: "Lao Wu! Lao Wang came to Beijing this time mainly for the purpose of purchasing equipment. Your family, Aiguo, is the director of the Trade Department, and he happens to be responsible for purchasing equipment. See if you can invite Aiguo out tonight. Sit down?"

When he just saw Wang Hongqi and Yang Weimin singing the double act, Wu Pingshan naturally didn't find anything wrong because he lacked experience at the wine table. Now when he heard Yang Weimin's request to invite Wu Aiguo out for dinner, Wu Pingshan Only then did I realize something was wrong.

Yang Weimin is the director of the steel rolling mill, so he naturally knows that Wu Aiguo is the director of the Trade Department. Under normal circumstances, when Yang Weimin learns about Wang Hongqi's intention, he will definitely tell Wang Hongqi that Wu Aiguo is the director of the Trade Department. , instead of inviting him to accompany him, he told Wang Hongqi the news at the wine table.

Wu Pingshan, who realized that the previous conversation between the two was about acting in front of him, thought of Wu Aiguo's instructions, and immediately showed a troubled expression on his face, and said to Yang Weimin: "Director Yang! We have known each other for several years. For your sake, I will definitely agree to your request, but our family Aiguo is not free these days. If you want to ask Aiguo out for dinner, it will probably take a few days. "

When Yang Weimin heard Wu Pingshan's answer, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he quickly asked Wu Pingshan: "Old Wu! What have you been busy with during this period of time? How come you don't even have time to go out for a meal?"

When Wu Pingshan heard Yang Weimin's inquiry, he thought of the method his son told him, and replied with a smile: "Director Yang! I don't know the specific reason. I only know that when he went to work this morning, he said something to my family. He said that there is something going on at work these days, so he won’t go home for dinner at night, and asked my wife not to prepare his dinner at night.”

When Wang Hongqi learned that Wu Aiguo was unavailable, his face immediately showed a disappointed expression, and he immediately asked Wu Pingshan: "Director Wu! When will Director Wu be available specifically?"

When Wu Pingshan heard Wang Hongqi's inquiry, he shook his head subconsciously and replied: "Director Wang! That boy of mine has been very busy every day since he came to work in the Trade Department. I don't know when he will be free. I don’t know, but I can ask you when he comes back tonight.”

When Wang Hongqi heard Wu Pingshan's answer, she could only thank you helplessly: "Director Wu! Then I'll trouble you about this matter."
