Near half past six, a group of four people arrived at Gao's house.
Mrs. Gao was stunned for a moment when she saw that Fang Tianfeng had brought three women with him, but she had already known about Fang Tianfeng's stay in Yunhai, so she quickly reacted and looked at the three people carefully.
Mrs. Gao first said to Nie Xiaoyao: "You are Xiaoyao, right? You look so much like your sister. Xiaofang, what are the names of these two girls?"
Fang Tianfeng introduced: "This is Qiao Ting, who is now teaching at Dongjiang Ballet and has been my classmate since childhood. This is An Tiantian. You can tell by looking at her clothes that she is a stewardess of Dongjiang Airlines."
"Hello, Aunt Gao." The three girls greeted together.
Mrs. Gao smiled and said: "Each one is prettier than the other, come in quickly. I specially asked someone to prepare some Dongjiang dishes. I'll try them later to see if they suit the taste."
"Thank you, Aunt Gao." Fang Tianfeng said.
"Why are you so polite?" Mrs. Gao said with a smile.
Nie Xiaoyao was very nervous. She knew that her status was not suitable for talking nonsense. Qiao Ting, as usual, still looked calm and indifferent, and she did not change herself at all because of Mrs. Gao's prominent status.
An Tiantian is different. Although she usually likes to have a bad temper, she is no worse than Shen Xin at critical moments. Before the meal is served, she takes the initiative to chat with Mrs. Gao, making Mrs. Gao very happy, so that
Mrs. Gao took An Tiantian's hand and asked her to sit next to her, while Fang Tianfeng sat on the other side.
Mrs. Gao invited Fang Tianfeng to eat, nothing else, so as soon as she sat down, someone served her food.
An Tiantian specially asked for an extra pair of chopsticks to use to pick up food. First, she gave it to Mrs. Gao, then to Fang Tianfeng, and then to the other two people. Seeing that An Tiantian was so sensible, Mrs. Gao liked her even more.
When she arrived at the Gao family, An Tiantian did not dare to say anything bad about Fang Tianfeng, but she would say something that seemed bad but was actually good. Every time An Tiantian praised Fang Tianfeng, Mrs. Gao was very happy and even took the initiative to pick up food for An Tiantian. Usually Fang Tianfeng was the only one.
That’s why I get this treatment.
Fang Tianfeng secretly nodded, Mrs. Gao asked him to come, probably because the children were not around and Admiral Gao was out, the house was a little deserted before the first month of the year, and An Tiantian's eloquence and lively atmosphere just suited Mrs. Gao's heart.
Without An Tiantian, the atmosphere in the room would definitely be different. Qiao Ting is a cold person, and Nie Xiaoyao has a knot in her heart. He can only liven up the atmosphere, and An Tiantian is far more suitable.
Qiao Ting occasionally glances at An Tiantian with warm eyes, which is one of the reasons why she likes An Tiantian. She is cold and not good at words, so she often makes the atmosphere cold, making herself uncomfortable and embarrassing those around her.
Especially when she goes out to meet people with Fang Tianfeng, Qiao Ting still feels a little worried. She doesn't care about others, but she cares about Fang Tianfeng's face. Fortunately, An Tiantian is here, so she doesn't have to worry about the atmosphere.
Although Mrs. Gao likes An Tiantian, she is also a bowl of water. She often chats with Qiao Ting and Nie Xiaoyao, praising Qiao Ting for her beauty. After learning that Nie Xiaoyao is Fang Tianfeng's secretary, she asks her to help her.
.
Halfway through the meal, Fang Tianfeng's cell phone vibrated. Fang Tianfeng glanced at it and saw that it was Mr. Wang Yuanze calling, so he said, "Aunt Gao, I'm going to answer the phone."
Mrs. Gao smiled and said, "You are a busy person, so go ahead and let the four of us continue to eat."
Fang Tianfeng walked to the next room and answered the call.
"Xiao Fang, is it easy to talk?" Wang Yuanze asked.
"Convenience, what's the matter with you?" Fang Tianfeng said.
Wang Yuanze said with a smile: "Mr. Fang invited some calligraphers and painters to a gathering today, and I was among them. By the way, you still remember the words 'good fortune and longevity' you gave me, right?"
"Remember, I wrote a birthday message for your sixtieth birthday two years ago."
"I wanted to show off when I got it to the capital, but Fang Lao was so happy when he saw the calligraphy that he snatched the calligraphy and ran away. Just now I mentioned that the person who wrote the calligraphy was in the capital, and Fang Lao asked you to come, so I called you
Telephone."
Fang Tianfeng immediately began to think. Everyone knew that Fang Lao was the backstage of the Xiang family. Wang Yuanze deliberately asked him to meet Fang Lao this time. It was obviously not possible just for a picture.
"Okay, okay, I have some things to do now. Fang's hometown is in Wangquan Mountain, right? It takes about half an hour to get to Wangquan Mountain from here. It will take at least half an hour to finish what I'm doing. It's about 8:30.
Isn’t it too late to arrive?”
"You know Mr. Fang lives in Wangquan Mountain, but you still come so late?" Wang Yuanze was slightly surprised.
"I really can't leave when I have dinner with an elder," Fang Tianfeng said.
"Okay, I won't ask more, but you'd better come earlier. Most of the people here are old people and most of them will leave before nine o'clock." Wang Yuanze said.
"I know, you are always troubled." Fang Tianfeng said.
"It's good that you understand. Mr. Fang is quite reasonable. It's better to talk about some things when we meet than never to meet him."
"Yes."
After ending the call, Fang Tianfeng thought for a while and went back to eat.
Mrs. Gao said that Fang Tianfeng's expression was not as happy as before. She sighed softly and said, "Hey, you are all busy. It has been a bit rough recently. You should be more cautious. No, a deputy governor has just come down."
Fang Tianfeng smiled and said: "Aunt Gao, don't worry, I don't know anyone in that department, so you can't implicate me."
"That's good." Mrs. Gao said with a smile.
An Tiantian couldn't help but ask: "Master, why do I see in the news that there are always more officials who have been dismissed than vice-chairmen? What about the vice-chairman of the Writers' Association, the vice-governor, the vice-chairman of the National People's Congress, and so on."
Mrs. Gao smiled and said nothing.
Fang Tianfeng explained: "There are many reasons for this. The ratio of full-time officials to deputy officials is almost one to seven. In addition, many deputy officials are promoted from lower-level officials. Of course, the most important point is that the above is dealing with
When a certain official is a full-time official, due to various reasons, he will be promoted to a higher level, become a deputy in a certain department, and then double-register in the deputy position. In short, some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface."
"That's it." An Tiantian nodded and said.
Mrs. Gao served Fang Tianfeng some food and said, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else. Xiao Fang, are the sales of your Youyun Lingquan good?"
Fang Tianfeng said with a smile: "Thank you to Aunt Gao for helping with advertising. The sales volume has increased sharply recently. I have been in the capital for less than half a month, and the daily order quantity has increased by 800 bottles. This does not include temporary orders from high-end places. As of now
According to the trend, in two months at most, the daily sales volume will reach 4,000 bottles, which will double the number. The Beijing office is recruiting people, and my subordinates are very busy. On the way here, my manager
He also asked me what happened and why people from all over the country called me to inquire."
Mrs. Gao smiled and said: "Don't praise me. This matter has nothing to do with me. It's better for you to strive for your own success. It's almost time to eat. If you have something urgent, you can leave first and let Tiantian stay here with me."
"It's no rush. Besides, the food here is so delicious. I'm only half full now." Fang Tianfeng said and continued to eat.
Mrs. Gao smiled broadly and said, "Okay, it's a blessing to be able to eat. Eat more. If you like something, let me know in advance next time and I will prepare it specially for you."
"No, I'm not picky about food, as long as it tastes good," Fang Tianfeng said.
Mrs. Gao was even happier.
Another call came during the meal. When Fang Tianfeng saw that it was Qiao Mingan, he didn't answer it. Then he sent him a message and said he would talk to him later, and then set his phone to silent.
Not long after the meal was finished, a few people went to the sofa to drink tea and chat.
Mrs. Gao looked at the time, stood up and said with a smile: "Xiao Fang, I know you are busy, so I won't keep you here. You don't need to worry about me, let Tiantian stay. I don't care if you go wherever you like."
you."
Fang Tianfeng had no choice but to say: "Since you issued the expulsion order, I can only leave in despair. Tiantian will be temporarily kept with you until I redeem it tomorrow."
"You don't need to redeem me!" An Tiantian said playfully, holding Mrs. Gao's arm.
Fang Tianfeng, Qiao Ting and Nie Xiaoyao got dressed, and Mrs. Gao also wanted to put on a coat. Fang Tianfeng said, "It's cold outside, so don't go out."
Mrs. Gao said: "It's only a few steps. I often walk. I'll come back when I get to the gate. It doesn't matter."
Fang Tianfeng persuaded again, but Mrs. Gao didn't listen, so everyone had to walk out together.
An Tiantian held Madam Gao's arm, and instead of asking Madam Gao to look at the road, she said that she was stupid and often fell down without looking at the road in the winter in the capital, so Madam Gao told her to be careful. But Madam Gao and Fang Tianfeng thought in their hearts
They all understood that it was An Tiantian who was actually trying to persuade Mrs. Gao to be careful, but if she said it directly, it would be like saying that Mrs. Gao was old, and no woman would want to hear such words.
Mrs. Gao gently patted An Tiantian's arm, loving An Tiantian even more.
Walking out of the front door of Gao's house, Mrs. Gao suddenly asked: "Xiao Fang, where are you going?"
Fang Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, and could only tell the truth: "I have a senior in calligraphy who is a guest at Fang's home. When he talked about my calligraphy, Fang asked me to come."
Mrs. Gao was also stunned. She clarified the relationship instantly, and then looked at Fang Tianfeng kindly. She seemed a little moved. There was something more in her eyes than before, and she said with a smile: "Good child, I really saw you right."
"Don't always praise me, I don't always praise me." Fang Tianfeng said with a smile.
"It should be praised." Mrs. Gao said.
An Tiantian and Qiao Ting didn't know who Mr. Fang was, but Nie Xiaoyao knew and understood why Mrs. Gao said that.
General Gao is a military figure, and Hua Guo is the party's command gun, so General Gao's becoming a member of the Supreme Bureau is already the limit, and it is impossible to rise further to become one of the top seven.
Although Fang Lao is a retired patriarch, his salary and rank are higher. As long as he is alive, he has the right to vote, and no one can circumvent it. Once the general retires, he will lose the right to vote, and even more
What's more, the overall power of the Fang family is stronger than that of the Gao family.
Fang Tianfeng postponed meeting the landlord in order to have a casual meal with Mrs. Gao. This seemed to many people to be putting the cart before the horse.
What's more, there are now rumors that Fang Lao wants to take action against Tianfeng because of the Xiang family's affairs.
But Fang Tianfeng stayed here and continued to have a simple meal with Mrs. Gao. How could Mrs. Gao not be moved by this.
Nie Xiaoyao felt sincere admiration for Fang Tianfeng.
Saying goodbye to Mrs. Gao and An Tiantian, Fang Tianfeng, Qiao Ting and Nie Xiaoyao headed to Wangquan Mountain.
