Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

"Hello, Comrade Xie Hongjun." Lin Shaowen shook hands with him politely.

His mother's last name was indeed "Xie", but if it came to his cousin, he really had no memory of it.

"Oh, you don't believe it?" Xie Hongjun said with a smile.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but what's wrong with believing it?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "As the saying goes, a cousin is a thousand miles away. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Excuse me for being blunt... He is either a traitor or a thief."

"Hahaha!"

Jie Hongjun laughed heartily, patted his shoulder and said, "Your personality has changed a lot over the years, and you are getting more and more interesting."

"Hello, cousin, goodbye."

Lin Shaowen smiled politely, then turned his head to look at Li Xinmin, "Where were we talking just now?"

"Shaowen, don't worry, I came back to sweep the graves for my parents this time, I don't have any thoughts about you." Jie Hongjun said with a smile, "I am working in Hong Kong for a long time now... It has nothing to do with you."

"That's even more unnecessary." Lin Shaowen smiled and waved his hand, "You live your life well, I live mine well, cousin... you just do your thing."

"You kid."

Jie Hongjun laughed dumbly, pointed at Lin Shaowen, and sat back in his seat.

"Hongjun, you're frustrated, right?" The people at the same table laughed.

"This guy is quite arrogant, what does he do?" someone asked.

"I don't know."

Jie Hongjun chuckled while holding a wine glass, "I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and what he said is true... a cousin is three thousand miles away, we don't have much intersection in life, and it's not worth talking about."

Everyone stopped talking after hearing this.

"Lao Lin, your cousin is not simple." Li Xinmin whispered.

"What do you mean?" Lin Shaowen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Did you see his watch? A gold Rolex watch, the watch alone is worth a lot of money." Li Xinmin whispered, "Besides, his clothes are custom-made... at least this amount..."

As he said this, he made a figure of eight.

"Eighty?" You Fengxia exclaimed.

"He has long hair and little knowledge, at least eight hundred." Li Xinmin sneered.

"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Shaowen laughed, "His clothes cost at least two thousand Hong Kong dollars... As for the watch, it's not a Rolex, it's a Patek Philippe."

"Oh, what is a Patek Philippe?" Li Xinmin asked humbly.

"Let's put it this way, a Rolex is the Volga you drive, and a Patek Philippe is a Coaster." Lin Shaowen explained.

"Wow, your cousin is not simple." Li Xinmin exclaimed.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's eat quickly."

Lin Shaowen looked at Zhang Xiaoyu who was eagerly looking at him, reached out to take the steak in front of her, cut it open, and put it back.

"Thank you, Director." Zhang Xiaoyu said gratefully.

"It's okay, eat quickly." Lin Shaowen smiled.

You Fengxia glanced at Li Xinmin who was biting into the steak, and sighed faintly.

"Come on, Lao Lin, this is a toast to you." Li Xinmin raised his glass and said, "To be honest, I knew you were a talent from the first day you entered the factory, so I also made up my mind that after getting rid of Lao Yang, I would join your team."

"Thank you for the compliment, Director." Lin Shaowen smiled and clinked glasses with him.

"It's not a compliment, you and I are the same person." Li Xinmin said with a smile, "It's just that your ambition is bigger. Our steel mill is nothing in your eyes."

You Fengxia and Zhang Xiaoyu stopped at the same time and looked at Lin Shaowen.

"No, we are different." Lin Shaowen joked, "At least I won't come to Lao Mo for dinner..."

"Hahaha."

Li Xinmin laughed heartily, "Lao Lin, I like you more and more after working with you for these days."

"Don't worry, Xiao You will have opinions later." Lin Shaowen raised his glass and said, "Lao Li, we are a team, not seeking to rise to prominence, but to be safe and sound. You live a life of luxury and I live my life in peace."

"Okay, okay, with your words, I will eat two more steaks." Li Xinmin laughed.

The two drank the tenth bottle of red wine.

"Lao Li, I won't drink this bottle after this one, I want to vomit." Lin Shaowen smiled bitterly.

"Okay, as you say." Li Xinmin said proudly, "Then I'll go to the bathroom and come back to pay the bill."

"Okay."

Lin Shaowen nodded with a smile.

After Li Xinmin left, he stood up and called the waiter.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

"Check out."

"Okay." The waiter immediately brought the menu and calculated, "The total is one hundred and ninety-six..."

"According to the specifications of this table of dishes, order another one for me and I'll take it away." After Lin Shaowen finished speaking, he took out a handful of money and put it on her plate, "The extra is a tip."

"Thank you, sir, I'll arrange it right away." The waiter was overjoyed,She immediately ran away in high heels.

"Director, you..." Zhang Xiaoyu hesitated.

"This is bullshit." Lin Shaowen said with a pained face, "This meal cost me half a year's salary, damn, it's so unlucky."

"Huh."

Zhang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then praised, "Director, do you care so much about your wife? You don't forget her when you go out to eat."

"I can't help it, there is a tiger at home." Lin Shaowen spread his hands.

"I don't believe you." Zhang Xiaoyu pouted and said, "Everyone says that if you cough, your wife will worry to death... I wish she would get sick for you."

"How can it be so exaggerated."

Lin Shaowen smiled and didn't dwell on this matter.

The two waited for a while, but Li Xinmin still didn't come back.

"This old guy didn't pretend to pee, did he?" Lin Shaowen said with a wry smile.

"I'll go and see."

Zhang Xiaoyu got up and walked towards the bathroom.

But after a few steps, he ran back again.

"Director, it's bad... Director Li was beaten."

"What?"

Lin Shaowen immediately ran to the bathroom.

When he arrived, You Fengxia was being pulled aside by two women. There was a palm print on her face, which was obviously slapped.

Li Xinmin curled up in the corner, covering his face and not saying a word.

"Old boy, no matter how crazy you are, who is your father-in-law?"

A young man went up and kicked him.

"Ouch." Li Xinmin cried out in pain and hugged his head again.

"Waiter..." Lin Shaowen shouted with a cold face.

"Sir."

The nearby waiter ran over immediately.

"Is this the way you treat guests in your restaurant? The guests were beaten, and no one came out to dissuade them?" Lin Shaowen said angrily.

"Wow, kid, you want to stand up for him?"

The few people who originally surrounded Li Xinmin immediately turned their guns and pointed them at Lin Shaowen.

"It's not about standing up for yourself. I just want to know if it's okay to fight in this restaurant."

Lin Shaowen reached out and grabbed Zhang Xiaoyu, pushing her far away.

"Fight? Hahaha!"

Several people laughed.

A young man wearing a jacket and holding a cigarette walked up to Lin Shaowen and blew a puff of smoke at him, "In Lao Mo, whoever has the stronger fist has the final say..."

"Really?"

Lin Shaowen smiled slightly, then punched him directly in the liver.
