Neighbors eat food every day

After reading the business card, Si Yan raised her head and spoke to the old man again, her tone was quite polite, "Hello."

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Si Yan again, and asked, "Little girl, if you have any questions, just ask."

The business card was held in Si Yan's hand, Lin Qiqi couldn't see it clearly, but the old man looked very graceful, and Si Yan's words were a bit polite, not as sharp as before, so he roughly guessed that the old man was not a simple person, When I was about to send a message to tell Xiao Pei that it might be late...

"Not yet." Si Yan smiled and gave an unexpected answer, "If you have any questions, please tell me, it's free."

Lin Qiqi was stunned: What!You were obviously stunned just now, but now you have nothing to ask?

Who is this old man?

Lin Qiqi was so curious that his heart itch, but the old man's reaction to Si Yan was very indifferent, he asked some questions about painting, and after a short exchange, he saw many people dragging their families to the park gate to go home, and glanced at their watches, probably feeling that it was too late Yes, and said with regret, "It's a pity, there are still a lot of questions I want to ask, can you leave a contact information?"

Si Yan nodded, took the old man's pen and paper and wrote a series of numbers, "My manager's."

Only then did the old man show a look of regret.

Lin Qiqi was still thinking about what was going on, Si Yan was already holding her arm and was about to leave.After walking a hundred meters away, Lin Qiqi turned her head to confirm that the pavilion was far away. She didn't know anyone around, so she hurriedly asked, "Who is that old man?"

"A businessman." After Si Yan said, seeing that her doubts still remained, she added, "A businessman who succeeds in the calligraphy and painting business."

Lin Qiqi seemed to understand but half understood, "Then he just now..."

"I want to cooperate." Si Yan chuckled, "There is value in me that he can tap."

When she said this sentence, Si Yan's tone was light, and her sweet voice seemed a little heavy because of the calm tone, which made Lin Qiqi quite uncomfortable to hear.She thought about it and couldn't figure out Si Yan's attitude towards this matter, so she asked cautiously, "Is this an affirmation of you?"

"Forget it, but it's taking Xiao Feng's job." Si Yan shrugged.

Lin Qiqi was stunned, "It means... the old man wants to help you promote?"

Si Yan said slowly, "Looking at his attitude, he should be. I have heard of this Mr. Zhou, he is very picky, but he is very accurate. The painter who values ​​and invests is not to mention having a place now. Anyway, he is quite famous. I also know a lot of collectors, and I have accumulated these contacts and my own financial resources, so I can do a job with ease in the industry."

"Then can't we cooperate?" Lin Qiqi always thought it was a good opportunity, and asked weakly, "Xiao Feng can also be together..."

Si Yan pursed her lips and answered honestly, "I don't know about their agents and investors, but no one likes to have one more person to share money, right? Although Xiao Feng is so-so as an agent, I am also a painter." It's so-so, working together for so long, it's not kind to break the contract." Lin Qiqi heard Xiao Feng feel guilty about her inexperience when watching her recall the previous auctions.At that time, she thought that Xiao Feng was self-effacing. She didn't know that it was true until today when she heard Si Yan say Xiao Feng personally. She wondered, "Then how did you choose him as your manager?"

Touching her chin, Si Yan rolled her eyes and recalled for a moment, then replied solemnly, "Because he will bring me something to eat, and he gave me puffs when we met for the first time, which is so good."

……WTF.

Lin Qiqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pushed the smirking Si Yan, "You're so careless."

"Well, actually, the candidates my dad gave me are almost the same." Si Yan put away her joking appearance and said to her seriously, "They are all obedient and young, and it would be nice if they could help the S Group spread the word. To start over with a pseudonym, my dad suggested replacing Xiao Feng."

Lin Qiqi pricked up her ears, "You refused."

"No."

"Then what about Xiao Feng now..."

Si Yan flattened her mouth, "I am responsible for all the expenses of the replacement. I am not a famous person. There are a lot of people waiting in line to find the next one to discuss the conditions and deal with the follow-up... It is very troublesome. I can only draw. How can I do it?" These."

Although a bit unkind, Lin Qiqi still felt that this opportunity did not come easily, and she could not give up easily, and asked, "Then what do you plan to do now, will you continue like this?"

Sighing leisurely, Si Yan looked down at the business card, pinching her fingers tightly, "If my job is still there, I might say just continue like this, take your time, but now..."

Lin Qiqi patted Si Yan on the shoulder and said, "Think again, go home first, Xiao Pei and Xiao Yao are waiting for us at the gate of the park."

"That's right!" Si Yan patted her head, "I almost forgot, I didn't eat dinner!"

Lin Qiqi burst out laughing, led by Si Yan, who was fully revived, and walked out, met Xiao Pei and the others, and met Mr. Zhou in the parking lot.

"Little girl." Mr. Zhou waved.

Si Yan heard it, and walked over to say hello politely.

"Look at me, I'm old and useless. I forgot to ask your name." Mr. Zhou smiled kindly.

Si Yan chuckled, "My surname is Si."

"Oh." Mr. Zhou nodded, "I have benefited a lot today. I hope to have the opportunity to communicate again. If it is convenient for you, can you give me a call?"

Si Yan was stunned, "Okay, next time I have a chance."

Lin Qiqi didn't understand what happened later, they suddenly lowered their voices and discussed something seriously.Standing not far away, she saw an assistant next to Mr. Zhou helping to pack the painting supplies, and Mr. Zhou was smoking a pipe, wearing a black hat and brown jacket, like a rich man who came out of an old painting , she inexplicably saw the feeling of being rich and powerful, and thought that Si Yan had lost a bit of momentum standing by, so she frowned worriedly.

"That's Zhou Huahan." Xiao Pei suddenly said, "No danger."

Lin Qiqi was surprised, "You know him?"

"After checking, Mr. Si once considered asking Si Yan to cooperate with him, but Zhou Huahan kept declining, and finally let it go."

Seems like a really good opportunity.

but……

Lin Qiqi turned her head to look at the fish that was still bubbling in the bag. Thinking of Xiao Feng, she felt a little sad—Si Yan endured her hunger and talked with Mr. Zhou for so long, so she might have been shaken.

……

The fish that Xiaofeng bought had few big thorns, and the meat was delicious. Lin Qiqi planned to steam it, marinate it for a while, and steam it in a pan. The mist sprayed out, and the freshness of the fish was also vividly released, and it went around the tip of the nose to hook people's chopsticks.

Si Yan couldn't help it at first, took a sip of the fish as soon as it was on the table, and gave a thumbs up, "Qiqi is awesome! It's so delicious!"

The tone of these words was too soft, and with star eyes, the expression of almost crying was already exaggerated enough, Si Yan didn't think it was enough, so she hugged and kissed Lin Qiqi while she was putting the bone plate, and held on tightly , kept saying, "My little cook~"

Xiao Pei and Xiao Yao were drinking soup, and they were warm, but because of this fancy way of praising their daughter-in-law, they shivered because of their nasty show of affection.

"Okay." Lin Qiqi broke away from Si Yan, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "It's the fish that was bought well, you are exaggerating."

Si Yan stopped immediately, sat back to her seat and stared at the steamed fish in front of her, but couldn't move.

Oops, wrong word!

After chatting with Mr. Zhou, Si Yan has been in a state of excitement, talking non-stop in the car, from state affairs to community gossip.Xiao Pei was driving, and he resolutely ignored it. Xiao Yao was sitting in the passenger seat, either playing with his mobile phone in a daze, or poking the bag to see if the fish was dead.

She knew that Si Yan was struggling and didn't dare to calm down and think about it.

So, when it was time to eat, Si Yan was still rambunctious. This kind of self-deceiving excitement lasted for so long, but was suddenly pierced by her sentence "the fish is good"...

Si Yan's whole body is not well.

"Eat." Lin Qiqi personally picked a piece of thorn and brought it to Si Yan's mouth, "Open your mouth, ah~"

Si Yan swallowed it obediently and smacked, "It's a bit bitter."

... My heart is suffering.

"Don't think about it, eat first, you will have strength after eating, right?" Lin Qiqi stroked Si Yan's back.

Si Yan bit her chopsticks and thought for a while, then suddenly got up and left, picked up the mobile phone left on the coffee table to make a call.

Lin Qiqi chased after her, "Oh, you eat first..."

"Xiao Feng?" Si Yan has already connected, "I know it's a bit late, can we meet and talk? Um... See you in half an hour."

After the matter was decided, Si Yan calmly returned to the table, and happily took two mouthfuls of rice, "Eat!"

Lin Qiqi frowned, added some vegetables to Si Yan, and asked, "Are you going to fire Xiao Feng in person?"

"Cough..." Si Yan choked, and said as soon as she regained her strength, "Do I seem to be such a heartless person?"

"Like." Xiao Pei rushed to answer.

Si Yan glared, "You wait for me."

"Does that mean you won't be fired?" Lin Qiqi had mixed feelings, "Then this opportunity..."

Si Yan waved her chopsticks, "No, I don't have any income from selling paintings, and I don't pay Xiao Feng on time. I often ask people to buy vegetables, do hygiene, distribute leaflets, and do miscellaneous work. He even tries his best to help me. Just ask... "

The words were sincere, and Lin Qiqi was about to be moved to tears by Si Yan's loyalty, when she heard the next sentence.

"Where can you find such a stupid person?" Si Yan said in a heavy tone, and ate another large piece of fish to suppress her shock.

Lin Qiqi's emotion was stuck in the middle, she couldn't laugh, she didn't have the strength to cry, so she beat Si Yan sadly, "I thought you were going to fire Xiao Feng."

Si Yan became interested, "If I'm really fired, what will you do?"

"Hmm..." Lin Qiqi knew she was stupid, so she answered plainly, "It's also support, I don't understand anything, I believe you are right."

"Ouch!" Si Yan couldn't help throwing her chopsticks over, "My baby!"

clap clap!

Another two pairs of chopsticks were put down, Xiao Yao blushed and said nothing, Xiao Pei sneered, "Don't let people eat."

They made a noise, and after half an hour without knowing it, the doorbell rang.

"Here we come." Si Yan let Xiao Feng in.

Xiao Feng raised the things in his hand, "Grandma's wontons at the entrance of the community... Hey, why are there four people? I didn't tell you earlier, I bought less."

Covering her mouth and giggling, Si Yan winked at Lin Qiqi.

Lin Qiqi couldn't help laughing at Xiao Feng's annoyed look, "It's okay."

"Anyway, it's not as delicious as my wife's cooking." Si Yan answered and said, "Sit down."

"I have something to tell you." Xiao Feng rubbed his hands nervously, "I'm so sorry about the work in the studio, I was lazy to hand out leaflets near the art exhibition, so unfortunately I met your boss, alas, I lost your job .”

"What's the matter." Si Yan patted Xiao Feng on the shoulder readily, "It's almost like not having a job if you follow me."

Lin Qiqi, Xiao Pei and Xiao Yao: "..."

Xiao Feng adapted to Si Yan's style and shook her head, "No, every time I go to a place, I get to know a few more people, which is very fulfilling."

"Oh, I have something to tell you too."

"I didn't finish." Xiao Feng waved his hand, "After what happened last time, I realized that I have been dragging you down, so... I want to resign."

Si Yan flatly refused, "No way!"

"Then let me put it another way." Xiao Feng chuckled, "Please, let me go back to my hometown to get married."

Si Yan was taken aback, her eyes were a little red, "What do you mean, you gave up after having a wife."

"Anyway, I'm quitting." Xiao Feng stood up and smiled brightly, "I'll help you deal with it later. Mr. Si already has a suitable candidate, Zhou Huahan, who is very famous."

Si Yan grabbed Xiao Feng violently, "Did my dad tell you to quit?"

"No." Xiao Feng answered patiently, "I really don't want to do it."

Si Yan still didn't let go, "Then... If Zhou Huahan has a job opportunity, would you like to go?"

Xiao Feng was stunned, and sat down again.

"If you want." Si Yan paused, "I'll ask him to meet as soon as possible."
