Rebirth 83: Hundreds of billions of net worth, starting from setting up a stall

White House.

Zhang Lan and Bai Maoqi paced back and forth in the house, looking towards the courtyard door from time to time, as if waiting for someone to come back.

Bai Jianguo took a sip of wine and said sarcastically: "Such a good son-in-law, you just opened your mouth and drove people away. Now you know you regret it, right?"

Zhang Lan argued: "He has been eating and drinking freely in our house for so many years. Why do I scold him? Just watch and come back later to apologize to me."

Bai Jianguo continued to pour cold water: "In the past, Li Cunxi had no money and no place to live, so he was naturally at your mercy. But now that he has made a fortune in business, he can live wherever he wants. How can he come back to apologize to you?"

Zhang Lan's expression was stagnant, but she immediately put on an angry look, pointed at her husband's nose and cursed: "Bai Jianguo, are you drunk and stupid? You would rather treat Li Cunxi, an outsider, than your own son and wife."

"What's the use of getting angry at me? It's your son who caused the trouble, and you drove him away. You are the ones to blame for everything."

After Bai Jianguo finished speaking, he wanted to hold the cup again.

Zhang Lan grabbed the cup and said in a deep voice: "My son has lost his official title. If you still want to drink, find a way quickly."

"Just throw it away. Our son's personality is not suitable for being an official."

Bai Jianguo took advantage of his wife's daze and grabbed the wine glass again.

When Bai Maoqi heard this, he was unhappy and asked dissatisfiedly: "Dad, even if your son is not that outstanding, he is not as miserable as you said."

"Okay, I'll ask you a question then."

"You ask."

"Do you know where you went wrong? In other words, why were you dismissed by Lu Changgui."

"He complained that I took the order without his permission, but I don't understand. There is no commission for this order. It will be the same for anyone who takes it. Why does he blame you?"

Bai Maoqi's face was full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

Zhang Lan slapped his thigh and echoed: "Son, I think the man named Lu is jealous of you and is afraid that your achievements will threaten his status."

"Hey." Bai Jianguo sighed faintly: "It is said that a loving mother often loses her son. Our two sons have been spoiled by you."

Zhang Lan's eyes widened: "You still have the nerve to say, which of the three children have you taken care of since childhood? Drinking heavily every day, working as a hands-off shopkeeper, and now you start making sarcastic remarks."

When Bai Jianguo heard this, he put down the wine glass he raised.

My wife is right.

In his early years, he indulged in drinking and going to work, and indeed failed to fulfill his father's responsibilities.

Think of this.

He felt a little more guilty in his heart, so he waved to his son: "You kid, let me have a drink, and we can have a good heart-to-heart talk."

"Okay, Mom, bring me a wine glass, and I'll wait for Li Cunxi while I drink."

Bai Maoqi was upset and wanted to drink to relieve his sorrow.

Zhang Lan got a wine glass for his son and warned: "Too much wine is harmful to your health, so drink less."

"Ah."

Bai Maoqi responded, but still drank the wine in the glass.

In fact, everyone in Lao Bai's family has a good drinking capacity, including Bai Xiaoyan. It's just a matter of whether they like to drink or not.

Bai Jianguo poured his son another glass of wine and said with a smile: "Son, if you still want to be an official, my father will give you a tip: do less and make fewer mistakes. If you don't do well, don't interfere with things that are not your business. As long as you can do this, even if you don't get promoted, you can safely survive until retirement."

"Why can't I be promoted?"

Bai Maoqi asked back.

Bai Jianguo smiled slightly and asked, "Can you watch people's words and flatter them?"

"What you are talking about are all evil heretics. As long as I am capable and loved by the people, I don't have to worry about being promoted."

Bai Maoqi spoke to argue.

Bai Jianguo had expected that his son would say this, and then said: "Okay, then you are capable. Go and ask Lu Changgui to reinstate you. Why should you ask Li Cunxi? It's not because Li Cunxi can watch people's words and coax Lu Changgui." Be happy, this is not called a heretic, it is called being a good person and understanding the ways of the world, and this is exactly what you lack."

Bai Maoqi curled his lips and said unconvinced: "I think what you said is wrong. Doesn't Li Cunxi know how to give gifts? I can too!"

At this point, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he murmured: "I have a way to resume my duties."

"You also want to give a gift? Don't act recklessly, please ask Cun Xi to help make peace, so as not to make things worse."

Bai Jianguo warned in a deep voice.

Gift-giving is a science. There are certain things to know about what to give, when to give it, and what to say when giving it. If you are not careful, the flattery will fall on the horse's leg, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

Bai Maoqi sneered and said, "Don't worry about it. Anyway, I will let you know that I am no worse than Li Cunxi."

Bai Jianguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I didn't ask you to compete with Li Cunxi. Son, listen to my father's advice and ask Li Cunxi. Don't be stupid and give gifts yourself."

"Are you looking down on me? I won't argue with you. Let's wait and see the results tomorrow. Mom, I'm going back first."

"Son, please wait a moment."

Zhang Lan took out a wad of money from the house and slapped it into his eldest son's hand: "Li Cunxi said that Lu Changgui likes antiques, so let's give him the most expensive one. The effect will definitely be better than Li Cunxi's."

"Okay, mom, just wait for my good news."

Bai Maoqi stuffed the money into his arms and left the house. As soon as he left the yard, he met Bai Xiaoyan and Li Duoduo.

Li Duoduo called out in a sweet voice: "Uncle."

Bai Xiaoyan also called "big brother".

Bai Maoqi nodded, glanced around the alley, and found that Li Cunxi was not there. He said quietly: "Tell Li Cunxi that if he can do it, so can I. Don't think that you are anything special."

"what?"

Bai Xiaoyan didn't understand, and when she was about to ask, Bai Maoqi had already mounted the big golden deer and rode a few meters away, so she had no choice but to give up.

Go back to the house.

She put the packed vegetables on the table: "Dad, Mom, Cun Xi was afraid that you two wouldn't eat, so we deliberately packed the roast duck."

Zhang Lan glanced at the three characters Quanjude outside the oiled paper and said angrily: "You ungrateful white-eyed wolf, do you really think that a roast duck can calm my anger? Bah!"

"Mom, Cun Xi is just afraid that you will worry about your brother not eating. If you have random thoughts, I won't stop you. By the way, Cun Xi won't be back soon, so don't ask him to help you."

After that, Bai Xiaoyan took her daughter back to the house.

"Huh, who cares about his help? Tell him not to come back again. Our temple is small and cannot accommodate a big Buddha like him."

Zhang Lan sat down at the table, opened the parchment paper, and saw that the sliced ​​duck was still steaming and fragrant, and all the ingredients were available.

After being hungry all day, she quickly picked up the cookies and rolled them up.

"If you have any backbone, don't even eat what your son-in-law brings."

Bai Jianguo picked up a piece of duck meat with his chopsticks, dipped it in some sweet sauce, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"My daughter has paid for it to him. How about eating some roast duck? He owes me."

Zhang Lan finished the duck roll in his hand in two mouthfuls. After thinking about it for a moment, he reached out and knocked off Bai Jianguo's chopsticks and said angrily: "You roll it up and eat it with your mouth. This duck is not enough for you." "

"Okay, I'll give it all to you. Let me tell you, Xiaoyan will tell you later and ask Cun Xi to help tomorrow. I always feel that our son will cause trouble."

Bai Jianguo warned seriously.

"You look down on our son so much?"

"I don't look down on our son. It's just that Li Cunxi and Lu Changgui have a relationship. Whether it's giving gifts or talking to each other, it's more appropriate for him to give gifts than for our son."

"I know, let's talk after dinner."

Zhang Lan agreed absentmindedly.

In the end, Bai Jianguo got so drunk that Zhang Lan also forgot about it.
