In the private room of the restaurant, the waiter placed two bowls of cold sophora leaf soup and several exquisite dishes on the table.
Mr. Lu picked up his chopsticks and first gave Wei Yan a piece of honey-roasted chicken nuggets. "Try it. This is their restaurant's specialty."
Wei Yan followed the instructions and took a sip, then said after swallowing: "It tastes really good."
Mr. Lu glanced at him with a smile. Some people are born rich, but they behave like a small family. Some people are born poor, but they are destined to be extraordinary and will always succeed in the future.
Mr. Lu has been in business for so many years and is very good at judging people. He could tell at a glance that Wei Yan was the latter.
Although Wei Yan was born in a farm family, his words, deeds, and actions are all different from those of ordinary farmers.
Such people will sooner or later gain fame and rise to great heights.
It was precisely because he liked Wei Yan that Mr. Lu had the idea of getting married to him, and it happened that his niece also liked Wei Yan.
Unexpectedly, he knew that the other party was already married. Mr. Lu was so sad about this that he could only give up the idea of getting married.
But Mr. Lu still had a glimmer of hope. Lu Yuhan came to Wei Yan again and again, half of it was because of his instruction.
It's just that Wei Yan's idea is too good, and after seeing his young and beautiful niece, he is not moved at all.
Mr. Lu finally gave up and decided to come forward and have a good talk with Wei Yan.
"Since you think it's delicious, then eat more." Mr. Lu picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Wei Yan, then poured a glass for himself, raised the glass and said, "My niece is not sensible, I am here
I apologized to you for her."
"Master Lu's words offended me. How can I, a junior, deserve your apology?" Wei Yan said. He didn't believe that Master Lu was not involved, but he had received some favors from him, so Wei Yan finished speaking.
He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, which was considered as a way of clearing up the matter.
When Mr. Lu saw him finish the wine in his glass, he breathed a sigh of relief and talked about his purpose.
"I came here today to ask for your help with something."
Mr. Lu is a real businessman, and he acts according to the principle of making money by being friendly. Since the other party is not willing to marry him, then he should find another way to make friends with him.
And the best way is to show kindness.
"Our old lady's birthday is coming soon, and I would like to ask my nephew to help me draw a birthday picture."
As Mr. Lu spoke, he took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is a little writing fee, I hope you don't dislike it."
The birthday pictures are just excuses. Taking this opportunity to pay for the retouching is Mr. Lu’s purpose.
Wei Yan didn't accept it, "It's just a birthday painting. There is no need to charge any polishing fees. And I have received favors from Mr. Lu, so I can't accept this money."
Mr. Lu said: "That little favor is actually not worth anything. I understand what you mean. You should still remember my niece, right?"
Wei Yan shook his head, knowing that no matter how many explanations he gave, it would be useless. He could only look at Mr. Lu with a calm gaze, expressing his determination in silence.
Mr. Lu has been in contact with him several times and naturally knows him well. He knows that he is stubborn and once he makes up his mind, even eight horses can't pull him back.
He could only smile helplessly: "Wei Yan, Wei Yan, you are really stubborn."
Shen Xiu had a full meal and drink in the teahouse, and waited for a long time before seeing Wei Yan arrive late.
"Wait a minute!" Wei Yan said apologetically, "I was delayed because of something else."
Shen Xiu didn't say that she had been here a long time ago. She smiled and said, "Actually, I just came not long ago."
Just after saying this, the waiter came over with a pot of hot tea, "My dear lady, this tea has been brewed for the eighth time. Has the person you were waiting for arrived?"
Shen Xiu couldn't help but glare at the waiter. Then the waiter saw Wei Yan, couldn't help but smile, put down the teapot and hurried away.
After the waiter left, Shen Xiu coughed lightly: "Actually, I was too thirsty, so I drank a few more pots of tea."
Wei Yan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Next time, don't lie anymore, so as not to be exposed as soon as you open your mouth."
Shen Xiu felt a little embarrassed and said angrily: "I don't blame you, why did you come here now? If I hadn't been afraid that you would feel bad, why would I have said this."
"Okay, blame me." Wei Yan chuckled and said, "This is indeed my fault. Please forgive me, madam."
Shen Xiu raised her chin and said, "Don't just talk, pour me a bowl of tea."
Wei Yan smiled and poured her a bowl of hot tea.
This tea has been brewed eight times, and there is no tea flavor in the mouth anymore. But because Wei Yan poured the tea, Shen Xiu always tasted a little sweet when drinking it.
After a bowl of tea, Shen Xiu told Wei Yan that she wanted to buy a house.
When she said this, she quietly looked at Wei Yan's expression.
I thought Wei Yanyan would mind that she was richer than him.
But Wei Yan never showed a trace of sourness or jealousy from beginning to end. He just thought about it seriously and said, "If you want to buy a house, you don't need to go to a dental shop. I do know a middle-aged man who is very enthusiastic.
It should be able to help you buy the house you want."
The middle-aged man Wei Yan was talking about was a middle-aged man, known as Tan Laizi.
Shen Xiu watched Cripple Tan limping ahead and whispered to Wei Yan, "Ms. sir, how do you know him?"
One was a middle-aged man from the dental industry, and the other was a student from the academy. Shen Xiu couldn't figure out how two people who couldn't even beat him knew each other. And judging from Tan Laizi's attitude, Wei Yan seemed to have helped him.
Wei Yan whispered: "One time, some people from Yaxing wanted to play a trick on him, so they brought him to our restaurant in the name of treating guests. After the food and drinks were served, the people wanted to sneak away midway. I
I couldn't stand it, so I reminded him by giving him tea. From then on, he was very polite to me."
Shen Xiubi said oh, looked at him with a half-smile and said: "No wonder my husband is so popular in the city, so that's what happened!"
Wei Yan knew that she was remembering that when they first met, he explained that being popular was innate, so he just smiled faintly.
While the two were talking, Tan Laizi had already stopped.
"Mr. Wei, this is the place."
Tan Laizi took out the key and opened the door, "This is a house bought by Zhan Yuanwai in the city for his aunt. A few days ago, the aunt ran away with the money, and the house became empty. Zhan Yuwai felt that this was very disturbing.
, so I want to sell this house as soon as possible."
Mr. Zhan spent a lot of money when he moved into this outer room. Not only were the inside and outside of the house repainted when he moved in, but there was also a small garden with many flowers and trees planted in it.
Shen Xiu fell in love with this house after just one glance.
Tan Laizi said: "Zhan Yuanwai said that the house cost more than one hundred taels of silver when he bought it, and he bought some furniture later, so it is still worth two hundred taels of silver. But he was eager to sell it, so he only needed one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
.”
By coincidence, Shen Xiu happened to have one hundred and fifty taels of silver in his hand, neither more nor less.
She had the idea of buying this house, so she and Wei Yan looked around the house again.
The doors and windows of the entire house are newly replaced, and the window screens are also made of high-quality Biyun gauze. The furniture in the house is ready-made and can be moved in directly.
After confirming that there were no major problems with the house, Shen Xiu signed a deed with Tan Laizi, paid a deposit of ten taels of silver, and agreed to deliver the remaining silver the next day.
