Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

Chapter 379 Cousin?

"Director Lin, although we are young, we are also members of the scientific research team. There is no reason for them to eat meat while we can't even have soup, right? This is too much of a bullying..." Zhang Bai cried.

"Mr. Zhang, don't be anxious." Lin Shaowen said helplessly, "Those old guys are a bit too much, but be honest, this machine tool or feed machine...it really has nothing to do with you."

"Director Lin, this is not right. We are all comrades in the same institute. How can I, as the deputy director, be worthy of the people below me if I do this? It would be better to..."

Before Zhang Bai could finish his words, Wei Dajun and Wu Shouyi ran over.

"What are you doing?" Lin Shaowen asked with a squint.

"I heard that Engineer Zhang, the deputy director, is no longer in this position. Director, Engineer Li from my team wants to lead his own team. Why don't we give Engineer Zhang's position to us..." Wei Dajun said with a flattering face.

"Grandma." Wu Shouyi said angrily, "Li Dejun hasn't even grown all his hair yet, and he wants to get promoted to a regular engineer? Engineer Chen from my team is mature and steady, but he has never had a chance to show his skills. Director, how about giving me this position?"

"Get out of here! When did I say I didn't want to be the deputy director?" Zhang Bai's face flushed red, and he was about to melt with anger.

"Didn't you just say that?"

Wu Shouyi and Wei Dajun were a little puzzled.

"I mean, I feel sorry for the people below. It's better, it's better..."

"Not as good as what?"

Wu Shouyi and Wei Dajun looked at him expectantly.

If we continue with this statement, it would be like "it's better not to do it".

"It's none of your business, get lost."

Zhang Bai left angrily.

"Hey."

Wu Shouyi and Wei Dajun sighed in disappointment.

They had just received the money and their enthusiasm was at a high level.

What they lack now is manpower. As long as Zhang Bai disbands the team on the spot, they will take over immediately.

Lin Shaowen looked at the research institute filled with "evil tendencies" with a smile, and felt very satisfied.

No wonder they say there will always be brave men when there is a big reward. As long as the money is given, the potential of this group of people is unlimited.

It's almost time to get off work.

As Lin Shaowen walked to the front of the car, he saw Zhang Xiaoyu, who was wearing a long dress, running towards him.

"Director..."

"What does that mean?" Lin Shaowen wondered.

"Director Li invited me to dinner today and asked me to accompany you." Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile, "He said I can drive, and after we finish drinking, he asked me to take you back."

"Well?"

Lin Shaowen frowned slightly.

There is no such thing as drunk driving these days, not to mention...what's the point of bringing a secretary with you to a dinner party?

Drip!

Two horns blew.

"Old Lin, follow me."

Li Xinmin, who was driving with one hand, shouted with great enthusiasm.

"Eh."

Lin Shaowen responded and got into the driver's cab.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly sat in the passenger seat.

The two cars left the factory one after the other.

"Qin Jingru, look, there's a woman sitting in Lin Shaowen's car." Xu Damao said gloatingly.

"That's his secretary." Qin Jingru rolled her eyes and said, "The factory director invited him to dinner today. Is there any problem with him taking his secretary along?"

"Secretary?" Xu Damao was shocked. "When did Lao Lin have a secretary?"

"Yeah, why haven't I heard about it?" Sha Zhu also wondered.

At this time, everyone in the courtyard gathered around.

Lin Shaowen rarely left the workshop, so Zhang Xiaoyu rarely showed up in the factory. She didn't even go to the canteen for meals, so she had never met Xu Damao and the others.

"My goodness, that girl is so beautiful. Yu Haitang, I won't report your title of factory beauty anymore." Liu Guangfu said with a smile.

"What did you call me?" Yu Haitang's eyes opened wide.

"aunt."

Liu Guangfu shrank his neck.

No matter how thick-skinned he was, he still found it difficult to say the word "stepmother".

"I'm married and about to have a child, and I'm also the most beautiful girl in the factory." Yu Haitang rolled her eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Lin Shaowen's secretary was appointed by the factory director himself. When rumors spread, just wait and see..."

Xu Damao, Sha Zhu and others immediately shrank their necks.

Li Xinmin has no humanity at all.

Lao Mo, whose full name is Moscow Restaurant, is a foreign-related restaurant.

Many young men from the compound were proud to go to Lao Mo for dinner, but for Lin Shaowen it was just that.

He prefers more traditional Chinese old stores like the Balou Building.

After Li Xinmin and Lin Shaowen parked the car, they each walked in with their secretary.

Compared to Zhang Xiaoyu who was looking around, You Fengxia seemed very calm, and it was obvious that she often went to such occasions.

For people who can hardly get enough food nowadays, it is indeed something to be proud of for Lao Mo to have a Western meal.

The exquisite decoration and exotic design all hint at "I am expensive". There are even a few old Russians playing accordions and balalaika in the store, which is very stylish.

"Old Lin, how is it?" Li Xinmin said proudly.

"I want to know where your money went. The consumption... is really unbearable." Lin Shaowen joked.

Judging from the dishes ordered by Li Xinmin, a meal would cost at least several dozen yuan.

And that doesn’t even include the wine.

"That's right." Li Xinmin said with a sad face, "This Lao Mo is good, but it's too expensive."

"Next time, just treat me to a meal at the Eighth Building."

Lin Shaowen reached out and set the knife and fork for the bewildered Zhang Xiaoyu.

"That's really unfair to you." Li Xinmin waved his hand and said, "You and I are comrades in the same trench and the closest revolutionary comrades."

puff!

There was a burst of laughter from the next table.

Seeing that Li Xinmin looked angry, Lin Shaowen could not help but comfort him, "Don't be angry, come out to eat, the purpose of eating is to have fun."

"Ah."

Li Xinmin's expression relaxed a little and he began to order food.

"Four servings of shrimp salad, four servings of French fried pork chops, three-flavor pork rolls, steak... and four bottles of red wine."

I have to say, although Li Xinmin is a bad person, he is really willing to let go.

After this meal, I couldn’t leave the house without a hundred dollars.

"You do have some strength." Another chuckle came from the next table.

"Who are you?" Li Xinmin couldn't help but asked angrily.

"What do you care who I am? Do you own this shop?" The man looked over.

He was in his early thirties, wearing a plaid suit and with his hair combed back, and looked very capable.

"My friend, you didn't open this shop." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "You eat yours, we eat ours, we talk... You don't need to be sarcastic."

"Lin Shaowen?" The man also laughed.

"you are?"

Lin Shaowen frowned.

"You don't recognize me?" The man stood up and said, "That's right, we haven't seen each other for almost ten years."

Lin Shaowen didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

"I'm your cousin, Xie Hongjun."

"cousin?"

Li Xinmin and others looked at Lin Shaowen in surprise.

He had known Lin Shaowen for almost five years and had attended three of his weddings, but he had never met a single decent relative, let alone a cousin.

Chapter 380

"Hello, Comrade Xie Hongjun." Lin Shaowen shook hands with him politely.

His mother's surname was indeed "Xie", but when it came to his cousin, he had no memory of her.

"Oh, you don't believe it?" Xie Hongjun laughed.

"It's not that I don't believe it. What can I do if I do?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "As the saying goes, a cousin is a thousand miles away. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Excuse me for being blunt... He is either a traitor or a thief."

"Hahaha!"

Xie Hongjun laughed heartily, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your personality has changed a lot over the years, and you've become more and more interesting."

"Hello cousin, goodbye cousin."

Lin Shaowen smiled politely and turned his head to look at Li Xinmin. "Where were we talking about just now?"

"Shao Wen, don't worry. I came back this time to visit my parents' graves. I don't have any feelings towards you." Xie Hongjun said with a smile, "I am working in Hong Kong for a long time now... It has nothing to do with you."

"That's even more unnecessary." Lin Shaowen smiled and waved his hand, "Just live your life well, and I'll live mine well, cousin...just do your thing."

"You boy."

Xie Hongjun burst into laughter, pointed at Lin Shaowen, and sat back in his seat.

"Red Army, have you suffered a setback?" the people at the same table laughed.

"This boy is quite crazy. What does he do?" someone asked.

"do not know."

Xie Hongjun chuckled as he held his wine glass, "I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and what he said is true... We are so far apart, and our lives have not intersected, so it's not worth talking about."

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking.

"Lao Lin, your cousin is no ordinary man." Li Xinmin whispered.

"What do you mean?" Lin Shaowen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Did you see his watch? It's a gold Rolex. The watch alone is worth a lot of money." Li Xinmin whispered, "Besides, his clothes are custom-made...at least this much..."

As he said this, he made the gesture of eight.

"Eighty?" You Fengxia exclaimed.

"Long hair and short knowledge, at least eight hundred." Li Xinmin sneered.

"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "His clothes cost at least two thousand Hong Kong dollars... As for his watch, it's not a Rolex, it's a Patek Philippe."

"Oh, what is Patek Philippe?" Li Xinmin asked humbly.

"Let me put it this way, the Rolex you drive is the Volga, and the Patek Philippe is the Coaster." Lin Shaowen explained.

"Wow, your cousin is not a simple person." Li Xinmin exclaimed.

"Stop talking nonsense and let's eat quickly."
