Chapter 97 The abacus crackles

"Yaowen, Yaowen." Su Lizhen pulled Xian Yaowen's arm and shouted softly but eagerly.

Xian Yaowen put down the women's underwear in his hand, pointed to another one and said to the salesperson: "Please show me that one."

"Yaowen, Yaowen." Su Lizhen's tone became more urgent.

Xian Yaowen turned to look at Su Lizhen and said seriously: "Don't make trouble, I'm doing serious things. If you can't keep your face off, you can go and wait for me aside."

Su Lizhen still whispered: "Wu Danfeng is on the side."

Xian Yaowen glanced at the nurse next to him and asked, "Who is Wu Danfeng?"

"Miss Hong Kong, movie star, she wants to tell reporters what you just did, and you will be in the newspapers."

Xian Yaowen looked at his master again and suddenly felt that she was uglier than before.

Miss Hong Kong has only been held three times before. The first one was in 1946, less than four years ago. No matter which Miss Hong Kong title the lady in front of is in, she looks too old, with bulging eyes and a bit fishy. She has bubbly eyes, short legs, and looks shorter than her actual height. As a woman, she is not ugly, but as a Miss Hong Kong, she is basically a joke.

"How old is she?" Xian Yaowen asked Su Lizhen's ear.

"About 23 years old."

"53?"

"23."

"Oh, don't call me by my name again, let her hear it, my name is really going to be in the newspapers."

Xian Yaowen made a joke, pushed the underwear he had just seen to the salesperson, said "I want it", then picked up the new silk underwear the salesperson took out, held it in the palm of his hand at the position of his heart, and carefully looked at the embroidery on it.

After watching it for a while, he asked Su Lizhen, "Can you understand which school of embroidery this is?"

Su Lizhen just glanced at her and said, "Su Xiu."

"How do you tell the difference?"

Su Lizhen thought for a moment and said, "I can see it, but I don't know how to say it."

"Can you embroider?"

Su Lizhen nodded, "Well, I can't embroider so well."

"Oh."

Xian Yaowen stopped asking. He estimated that Su Lizhen only knew what was happening but not why. She had practice but no theory.

This situation is not unusual. Ninety-nine percent of the parents and the children being taught do not know why they should hold chopsticks in their right hands. The dumb teacher can learn blindly and just understand it in a daze. There are so many reasons.

Xian Yaowen asked the salesperson again, "Miss, is this from Hong Kong or the Mainland?"

"I do not know."

"I want this one too."

After invoicing and payment, Xian Yaowen carried two pieces of underwear and continued to be led by Su Lizhen.

Perhaps Su Lizhen was frightened at the underwear counter just now. She no longer lingered at each counter and just looked around. Only when she met someone who was interested would she gather around to take a look. She walked around faster and soon moved to the lipstick counter. .

It didn't take long, but in fact it had been 80 minutes since the two of them entered Dah Sing Department Store. There were still two, three and four floors above. If they had to go through the whole thing, they probably wouldn't be able to finish it before closing today.

Fortunately, there were not so many lipstick shades, brands and styles at this time. There were only about a dozen styles on the counter, and it didn’t take much time to try them all.

Su Lizhen lay on the counter and looked at all the lipsticks, and asked Xian Yaowen softly, "Which color is better?"

After hearing this, Xian Yaowen asked the salesperson, "Can I try it?"

"Okay." The salesperson replied.

Xian Yaowen clicked on the counter, "Please take out the brown-red one and the berry-colored one."

"Xian."

"Michelle."

He knew it was Michelle from the voice. Xian Yaowen responded, then turned around and looked at Michelle standing not far away from him with a smile on his face, "What a coincidence."

Michelle walked a few steps forward and stood in front of Xian Yaowen's tattoo, "Buying lipstick?"

"Yes." Xian Yaowen looked around and found no one who seemed to be traveling with Michelle, "Are you alone?"

"Alone." Michelle pursed her lips at Su Lizhen who had just turned around, "Don't you want to introduce me?"

"Introducing you, Jane, my girlfriend, who doesn't speak English."

Michelle waved to Su Lizhen as a greeting, then turned to Xian Yaowen and said with a faint smile: "Chinese words often have multiple meanings. What kind of girlfriend is Zhen?"

"I slept in the same bed as her yesterday and the day before yesterday."

"Aha, you are avoiding my question, so Jane will not be your wife? Concubine? Mistress? Lover?" Michelle's smile was very bright.

Xian Yaowen spread his hands and said, "Michelle, you seem to be in a good mood today."

Michelle's smile became brighter, "Yes, I haven't been in a bad mood lately. After seeing you, my mood became even better."

"I'm very honored to bring you a good mood." After that, Xian Yaowen said something incomprehensible, "Yes, the weather is terrible today, Michelle, I wish you a good day, goodbye."

"Aha, Xian, it's not morning now and we're not in London. Please don't use this kind of conversation to frustrate me." Michelle raised her left hand and pointed at the dial and said, "It's dinner time now. As a gentleman, you Shouldn’t you invite me to dinner?”

"My pleasure." Xian Yaowen pointed to the counter, "Do you want one?"

"No need, I only use Helena, there are none here." Michelle said arrogantly.

Xian Yaowen shrugged, "Wait a moment, I'll help Zhen choose one." "You do as you like."

Xian Yaowen turned around, picked up one of the lipsticks that the salesperson had put on the counter, unscrewed it, and drew a line on Su Lizhen's wrist. Then, he did the same thing with the other one, with the two lines next to each other.

"Yaowen, who is she?"

"Which one do you think looks better?"

The two people's questions were intertwined in the air and passed to each other.

"Business friends."

Su Lizhen pointed to the second line, "I like this color better."

"The berry color is nice. You don't really choose the color of your clothes, so why not just buy this one?"

"Ah."

After paying the bill, Xian Yaowen and Su Lizhen came to Michelle, "Where do you want to have dinner?"

"You didn't make any arrangements before?"

"No, you suggested."

Michelle thought for a moment and said, "I went to the Taiping Pavilion on Fleming Road. It's been a long time since I've had Swiss chicken wings and roasted pigeon."

"There is Tai Ping Pavilion on the west side of Des Voeux Road. Why do we have to go to Fleming Road? Is there any difference?"

"Of course, only the store on Fleming Road can taste the taste of Yonghan North Road." Michelle stretched out her tongue slightly and licked her upper lip, and said, "I miss the roasted pigeon I ate on Yonghan North Road. I will never eat it again." It doesn’t taste like that anymore.”

"Why? The restaurant changed the recipe?"

"No." Michelle smiled mysteriously, "It's because of your culture of looking at people's food."

"So, you want to say that the best meal you ever had was with some big shot?"

"uh-huh."

Xian Yaowen did not accept Michelle's pretense and teased: "Please continue to remain mysterious."

"Xian, behaving like a gentleman."

Xian Yaowen and Xian Yaowen were talking all the way, and unknowingly they came to the parking place, and drove to Fleming Avenue. In less than twenty minutes, the three of them were already sitting in the Taiping Pavilion.

Michelle lit up a cigarette and took a puff. The previous jump was gone, and the normal style of HSBC's public manager came online.

"Xian, let's talk about what happened last time."

Xian Yaowen lit a cigar and said calmly: "Michelle, what are your thoughts."

"I provide the capital and facilitate the purchase of the land, you provide the capital and are responsible for the implementation of the plan and future operations, and you will have a little more management equity than me."

"I have no experience in managing a theater, why do you have so much confidence in me?"

"Investment will definitely have risks, and the ability you have shown is worth the risks I will take. Besides, I only plan to use 10,000 Hong Kong dollars as start-up capital, and you will need to come forward for other funds." After Michelle finished speaking, she rushed Xian Yaowen smiled.

"Michelle, can you speak Chinese?"

"Hmm, I know a little bit."

"Then do you know an idiom called 'counting jewels and listening'?"

"I don't know, how to explain?"

Xian Yaowen spread his hands, "It means that your abacus beads are ringing so loudly that I can hear it in Bao'an. I really want to thank you for taking such good care of me. You only gave me 10,000 yuan, but you want to get half of the shares?" "

"No, I want 60%."

"The shape of your mouth is so beautiful. In Chinese, it's a cherry mouth."

"Xian, you can just tell me that I'm a lion, it's okay." Michelle said understandingly.

"Okay, dear Miss Lion, I can sponsor you a plane ticket. You can fly back to London to study accounting at the School of Economics and Political Science. When you graduate, you can recalculate how big your mouth can be."

Michelle slowly exhaled the smoke in her mouth and said with a smile: "As a lady, I am very happy to make changes for gentlemen. Before, I could eat two squabs in one bite. Xian, for you, I will eat half a dozen less." Only."

"Eat half a bird in one bite, but how many more bites do you need?"

"Xian, I'm not a greedy person. I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant."

Xian Yaowen thought for a moment and said, "I'm still very busy now. How about we wait until June to discuss this matter?"

"No, there will be a good opportunity in late May. It would be a pity to miss it. We will confirm the cooperative relationship before mid-May." Michelle said without doubt.

"Okay, you are the boss." Xian Yaowen spread his hands, "The Chinese Garment Association will hold an opening ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 5st. I invite you to attend, and I also hope that Mr. Morse can be present."

"Is this your condition?"

"No, this is our friendship."

"OK, my friend, I will help you with this." After Michelle said that, she extended her right hand towards Xian Yaowen.

Xian Yaowen stretched out his right hand and shook it with Michelle, which indicated that a preliminary intention for a deal had been reached, and all that was left was the distribution of rights and obligations.

The matter was discussed, and during the following dinner, Michelle became detached again, as if she was not the lion who wanted to eat people just now.

Xian Yaowen just wanted to scold his mother. Why did he meet such cunning people? Why couldn't he have someone who was loyal and stupid, or who loved him to death and was willing to sacrifice the entire family to support him?
Cai Zhen can be like that, I don’t mind it.
