Chapter 33 Rejection
The brief conversation in the previous one made the diners in the store unable to help but talk about topics related to Lao Hantou - most of the people who eat cold skin here are old customers, including small vendors at the farmers' market and Xianren Bridge, as well as loaders working in the market, eating cold skin and two sesame cakes at noon, and drinking a bottle of beer to relieve heat and hunger. It is delicious, convenient and not expensive.
"Hey, does Old Hantou have an apprentice? Wen Shuo, the top student in the college entrance examination in Dongy County this year, often went to Xianren Bridge to play when he was a child. Old Hantou taught him a lot."
"What, can someone learn this by the top scorer in the college entrance examination?"
"That's right, Wen Shuo was young and ignorant, just playing around with the old Han. Have you seen Wen Shuo come to the Immortal Bridge in the past few years?"
"But why did Lao Han leave the old house to Wen Shuo?"
"Yes, if it weren't for the master-apprentice relationship, why should I leave the old house to him? I see, I'd have kowtowed and burned incense in private."
"It's strange to say that Liu Bapi, the village chief of Liu Jiaying, was not greedy in this matter. He didn't eat the fat meat at his mouth. He even took the initiative to help transfer the old Hantou's old house to Wen Shuo's name. For this reason, he also placed Wen Shuo's household registration in Liu Jiaying in advance. I heard that the old house had covered the yard walls and repaired the yard a few days ago. Village Chief Liu was busy organizing it, which was really heartfelt..."
"Hey, this matter, you have to look at the top scholar's mother, a man in his early forties, right? He looks like a little wife in his twenties, and that body looks like a tsk..."
"You mean, Village Chief Liu and Li Qin..."
"I didn't say anything!"
"Don't be fucking blind!" A stout man glared at his eyes and scolded, "Be careful to go home and talk badly! After so many years, no one knows what kind of person Li Qin is. He is gossiping behind his back and spreading rumors about a poor widow. You can really do it!" After the righteous man finished scolding, he snorted heavily. Seeing that the other party was embarrassed, he didn't say anything anymore, he felt that he was a little too much, so he explained, "Hey, I heard that after the old Han died, Liu Mao and his family were uneasy in those days. He often cried and called his parents in the middle of the night. The villagers said that their family was haunted and that it was the old Han who came to the door. In this way, Liu Bapi had to take the initiative to find Wen Shuo, help Wen Shuo register, and transfer the old house to Wen Shuo's name."
Another man echoed: "It seems that this is really the case. A villager saw it in those two days. Liu Maohe drove a motorcycle to invite Wen Shuo to his house, and also went to the old house. He also visited the river bank to visit the grave of Lao Han."
"I dare not talk nonsense!" A man next to him booed, looking out vigilantly.
The room immediately became quiet.
Everyone looked around carefully, as if they were really afraid that Liu Maohe was coming.
After hearing the discussions of the crowd just now, Tian Musheng noticed that Qi Dechang, who seemed to be not only scrutinizing his head to eat cold skin, had a thick eyebrows slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something, but the degree of eating cold skin and sesame cakes was much faster.
After returning to the car after dinner, Qi Dechang sighed and ordered: "Since Han Kehu's immortal passed away, Mu Sheng, go and implement it. Is Wen Shuo Han Kehu's apprentice? If it is true, please ask him to try it... Oh, by the way, Wen Shuo is the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Please pay attention to the impact. Even if he is really the apprentice of the old Hant, he may not be willing to admit it."
"Okay." Taki Katsu responded.
"There are still a lot of things in the company, so I'll go back first."
"Don't worry, I will give you news as soon as possible." Tian Musheng pushed open the door and got out of the car, watched the Mercedes-Benz drive away, and turned around and walked towards Liujiaying Village.
...
At almost two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qin went to work.
Wen Shuo just locked the door of the bedroom and was preparing to practice further to consolidate the state of combing the thin veins in the eye when he opened the sky in the morning, and he heard someone knocking outside.
He had to go out and open the door, thinking that his mother had forgotten to bring things. He never wanted to open the door, but saw Liu Maohe standing outside the door with a smile on his face. Beside him, a man with a hair combed back, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes, and smiling.
"Captain Liu, is there anything wrong?" Wen Shuo asked frowned. Although Liu Maohe has performed very well over the past period of time. Not only did he take the initiative to help him get out of trouble, donate money, and explain a lot to Wen Shuo during an interview, Wen Shuo was still unwilling to have more contact with this veritable village tyrant, and he was disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
"Xiao Shuo, I'll introduce it to you." Liu Maohe said with a respectful look on his face: "This is the assistant chairman of Linguan Dechang Group and deputy general manager, Mr. Tian Mukata, who came here to ask me to help introduce him and visit our Linguan City's top student this year."
"Oh." Wen Shuo hurriedly shook hands with Tian Musheng, and invited politely: "Please come in, please come in."
After sitting in the living room, Wen Shuo was busy making tea and pouring water.
"Are you at home?" Tian Musheng asked casually.
"Well, my mother just went to work." Wen Shuo made tea and pulled over a chair and sat opposite Tian Musheng. He felt a little excited and expectant in his heart. He thought that the top scorer in the college entrance examination had passed, but he never thought that school was about to start, and someone came to visit him again... Of course, it was a money delivery.
Dechang Group?
It sounds like it is amazing, how much will it pay?
Tian Musheng had already considered that Wen Shuo was convenient for talking at home, so he delayed until two o'clock and asked Liu Maohe to bring him there.
"Wen Shuo." Tian Musheng asked with a smile: "I heard that you are not only the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but also have an unknown identity in private. Han Kehu, an old god who has been setting up stalls on the Immortal Bridge, is your master, right?"
"Hmm?" Wen Shuo was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at Liu Maohe.
Liu Maohe was stunned. When he noticed Wen Shuo's gaze, he immediately stood up nervously, shook his head and waved his hand and said, "Shuo, I didn't say anything... This is not what I said, hey, how did you know, Mr. Tian?"
Tian Musheng smiled and said nothing, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Wen Shuo wanted to slap Liu Maohe, this idiot! Since you didn't say it, you just pretended not to know!
In this way, wouldn’t it be that there is no silver here for three hundred miles?
After Liu Mao and explained in a hurry, he suddenly realized that he had done something stupid. He quickly sat down and leaned over to Tian Musheng, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Tian, you can't talk nonsense about this matter. Wen Shuo is the top scholar in the college entrance examination this year. His academic performance is great. How could he be the apprentice of Old Hantou? Learning those superstitious things?"
Wen Shuo shook his head helplessly, Liu Maohe, Liu Maohe, he is so stupid!
The more you draw, the darker it becomes!
He had to smile bitterly and said, "Mr. Tian, I don't know what your relationship is with Lao Hantou, but I am not Lao Hantou's apprentice. I used to be young and often ran to the Immortal Bridge to play. Lao Hantou taught me to draw talismans and chant mantras... But after entering high school, to be precise, since the third year of junior high school, I no longer went to the Immortal Bridge and understood that those superstitious things were of no use, so I never learned them again, and I have forgotten them all until now."
Tian Musheng waved his hand, took out a soft Zhonghua cigarette and lit it, and said calmly: "Let's talk short, our group has had a series of strange things in the mining area of Shuangnushan in Qingping County. This time, I went to Dongyun, and I wanted to invite your master Han Kehu to visit, but I didn't expect that he was no longer there. I had to come to you to go to Shuangnushan mining area to set up an altar. Of course, after the matter is done, we will give you generous rewards."
Wen Shuo has always been talking and likes to be straightforward and not talk nonsense, but now, Tian Musheng is a little quick-talking...
How to say it?
Be a little more domineering.
It made Wen Shuo a little difficult to adapt for a while and felt very uncomfortable.
So he shook his head and said, "Mr. Tian, I am not Lao Han's apprentice, and I don't know how to make a move. You should ask for another master."
"I know your concerns, and I can understand them. After all, I am the top scorer in the college entrance examination. If you do these superstitious things, you will inevitably worry about being laughed at." Tian Musheng smiled, taking out an envelope from the briefcase he carried with him and put it on the coffee table, saying, "There is 10,000 yuan here, and after the matter is completed, there will be more! Or, you can propose the conditions now, how much does it cost?"
Wen Shuo shook his head, but he was confused in his heart - OK, is this money?!
"You should be very clear that with your family conditions, even if you have received some donation rewards from all aspects, the expenses required to go to Beijing to go to college in a few years will be a huge burden." Tian Musheng leaned on the sand calmly, raised his face and smoked, saying, "Now the opportunity is here. As long as you do this, the reward you will get is enough for your expenses in the past few years of college."
Wen Shuo, who was originally a little surprised, excited, nervous, and considered how to accept it tactfully and to ask for more benefits, looked at Tian Musheng's arrogant, confident and confident look, suddenly thought of Bai Jingzhe's words and deeds when he paid for him on the day of high school graduation, and thought of the expressions of many classmates that day...
"Sorry, you found the wrong person!" Wen Shuo stood up to see him off: "Mr. Tian, you should ask Gao Ming for another one."
Tian Musheng was stunned and frowned and said displeased: "Wen Shuo, this set of tricks of fishing in spring line should not be performed in front of me. If you have any conditions, you can just say... And the matter in the mining area is very urgent, I don't have time to play Tai Chi with you here. Let's say so, once I go out now, you will miss this opportunity! Do you understand?"
"Well, go find someone else." Wen Shuo's expression became cold.
He is really angry now!
"You..." Tian Musheng was furious. Although he had been in the Linguan area for many years, although he had lowered his attitude and asked for help, he had never touched a wall. Even when dealing with officials from government departments, no one had rejected his request so mercilessly. What's more, he also gave generous conditions today.
Just be Wen Shuoting!
