Chapter 203 Little Lazy Cat
At this moment, He Yukai was preparing to go to Uncle Guan's house. For some reason, Uncle Guan urgently summoned He Yukai.
Uncle Guan, the commander-in-chief of the Nine Gates, plays chess and drinks every day, and lives a happy life that dazzles others.
His future life will be like this, and it won’t be too far away. After his children graduate and have two years of experience, he can start his retirement life.
He Yukai saw the Nine Gates Admiral cheating after losing the chess game and smiled and shook his head.
This Mr. Guan is knowledgeable and talented, with a strange personality, but his chess skills are really not good.
As long as wine is requested, that listless expression will instantly become interested. He also can't understand why he has loved playing chess for so many years but is still a terrible chess player. Maybe this is the secret to his longevity!
Like a calm and peaceful well, going with the flow and staying close to life is the way to maintain good health.
"Master Guan, I have summoned you urgently. What is the matter? Please give me your instructions and I will do it for you."
He Yukai has known Uncle Guan for such a long time but this is the first time he has been summoned. There must be something wrong.
This old man won't call you if there's nothing to do. He'll be annoyed if you come too often.
"My granddaughter will be back soon. She will arrive at 5pm. Please go to the airport to pick her up."
He was very good at ordering He Yukai around and had gotten used to it. Originally, he should have let Han Chunming go, but the kid hadn't been seen for a while, so it was convenient for He Yukai. He could just make a phone call from the convenience store to notify him.
"Didn't your granddaughter come back from Eagle Sauce?"
He Yukai looked at Uncle Guan in confusion. If he remembered correctly, the flight between Beijing and Eagle Sauce should have been opened in 79, and it was only 78 now.
The timing doesn't match. Of course, he is looking forward to Guan Xiaoguan's return. This is the most professional thing. The hotel management will be handed over to Guan Xiaoguan in the future. The shortage of staff will be alleviated to a certain extent. At least they don't have to take care of the hotel anymore. The hotel kitchen will be handed over to Ma Hua, and He Yuzhu has also rented a room.
There are enough people to prepare the private dishes, and it’s time for Guan Xiaoguan to come.
"I received a telegram. I'm transferring at Hong Kong Island and coming from Hong Kong Island."
Grandpa Guan was excited. Although he didn't like his son and daughter-in-law, he loved his granddaughter. Guan Xiaoguan liked to stay by his side since she was a child. Now that she had grown up, he quickly called her back. If she found someone who was against the will of the Eagle Sauce outside, he would be so angry that he would die.
He had lived through that humiliating history, and his granddaughter would never marry a foreigner, so when he heard that she had graduated, he immediately called her back.
Guan Xiaoguan's parents are concerned about Grandpa Guan's things, so of course they are willing to let their daughter come back. The old man is old, and if something happens to him, these things cannot be given to outsiders.
Uncle Guan is a wise and insightful person, but his son is a waste of time, and he has an unreliable daughter-in-law, so he is too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Okay, no problem. What time in the afternoon? Do you have any photos or anything?"
He doesn't know him either, how can I pick him up here?
"There's no photo. Find a big-butt car to pick me up. I'll tell the lazy cat that if there's a car, ask if it's He Yukai and go there early. Got it?"
The photos in my hand are all my childhood photos. I haven't received any letters in these years. A letter from Eagle Sauce? How many people have the courage to answer it?
I had contact with the Eagle Sauce during the special period, but I'm afraid they don't know how to write the word death? Now that the situation has eased, we are back in touch.
It was also Grandpa Guan who arranged for his son and daughter-in-law to go abroad. He himself was old and reluctant to leave his hometown, and he did not want to go to the foreigners' territory, so he stayed alone.
"Okay, I'm leaving now and need to borrow someone's car."
He Yukai was also convinced. There were no photos, but he still used a car to pick her up. Let me take a look at you, you lazy little cat. If you are suitable, you can marry my He Bing. Otherwise, you will be at a loss.
He Bing just needs a strong wife to take care of him. Uncle Guan doesn't know what He Yukai is thinking. If he knew, he probably wouldn't be so calm.
It is a blessing for you that our Nine Gates Admiral asked you to pick up his granddaughter, but you are actually thinking about marrying my granddaughter to you and that stinky boy. You, He Yukai, the great director, are so arrogant.
"Director, is your car available this afternoon? I want to use it."
He Yukai called Director Yang, and after thinking it over, he decided that Director Yang was the most suitable person.
Liao Ming is now the deputy director and cannot be disturbed casually as the license plate is too eye-catching.
"You don't need a car this afternoon, I'll ask Xiao Wang to drive over. Is it your home or the restaurant?"
He Yukai could still use his car. Although he was no longer the deputy director, his rank was still there and the factory did not take it back. He was afraid that others would use the car to cause trouble, so he did not use it. When he needed a car, he used Director Yang's.
Director Yang was also very helpless, but since He Yukai insisted, he did not argue.
"Restaurant, thank you, Director."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Just let me know when I need a car."
"get it"
He Yukai drove to Chaoyang Airport. The old man was too unreliable. He didn't know the time. It seemed that he would spend the whole afternoon there.
After arriving at the airport, He Yukai sat in the car, looking at the airport in front of him bored.
After a few years, this place has changed a lot. It is no longer as deserted as it is now. If people in the future see the largest airport as deserted as it is now, they will definitely think they have taken the wrong road.
He Yukai was almost falling asleep when he heard a deafening roar from the sky. A plane had landed. In less than half an hour, men and women came out, and many of the people who were waiting to meet them held signs in their hands.
He Yukai slapped his head in regret, thinking that he was being led by Uncle Guan. Why didn’t he think of writing a sign?
He Yukai absolutely believed that Uncle Guan was leading the charge, so he had no choice but to wait quietly by the car, not daring to leave.
It is very tiring to wait for a guest who you don’t know when he will arrive. At this time, there is no entertainment like mobile phones, so you can only wait. The torture can be imagined.
He Yukai heard the person who had successfully picked up the plane reminiscing about the past. Yes, he was from Hong Kong Island. He finally arrived. He was sleepy but couldn’t sleep. What if he missed it?
More than ten minutes later, a girl with wavy hair pulled a suitcase and walked straight towards He Yukai. He Yukai was almost certain that it was Guan Xiaoguan.
He walks with the wind, is capable and domineering, has a cold face and never smiles, but is very immature.
This was the first impression Guan Xiaoguan left on He Yukai. It was not known whether she was really aloof or just her personality, but it was true that she was a bit arrogant.
He has full facial features and a tall stature, and looks nothing like Uncle Guan.
His neck was straight, revealing his proud character.
Are all the people in the Guan family like this? Why is Uncle Guan's son so cowardly?
The son of Uncle Guan in the play is really not commendable. There is nothing wrong with loving money, but the man does not like money. Money is the backbone of a man.
But being so disrespectful and submissive is a bit too much. As the old saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son can dig holes. How come when it comes to him, he becomes a tiger father and a dog son?
He Yukai saw Guan Xiaoguan standing not far from the car, looking at him puzzledly with hesitation in his eyes.
I originally wanted to watch the fun, but after thinking it over, I decided to take the initiative to ask. It would take me no time to waste.
"Excuse me, are you little Guan Xiaoguan?"
He Yukai approached Guan Xiaoguan and deliberately spoke in a teasing tone, saying that it was not good for the little girl to act so arrogantly before she had made any achievements.
Sea turtle, sea turtle, whether it is a divine turtle that holds up the sky or a small turtle, it all depends on how strong it is.
People with ability have the capital to be arrogant, and others may ignore it. But if you have no ability at all, pretend to be arrogant, and feel that you are the center of the world and others should lick you, then you are wrong.
Some people don't have enough confidence in their own abilities. They look cool on the surface, but in fact they are not good at anything and eat everything without leaving anything. Who will spoil you? Who will tolerate you and accommodate you?
"Little girl? Who are you?"
Guan Xiaoguan saw the middle-aged man walking towards her and directly called out her name, and she realized that this man should be the guy who was both a teacher and a friend that her grandfather mentioned.
But what is a little girl? I am an adult, okay? Don't you think it's inappropriate to call her that?
I am a pretty girl, how can I be called a little girl? Am I dressed like a fairy tale?
"Yeah, aren't you a little girl?"
He Yukai looked at him with amusement. Guan Xiaoguan kept looking at his appearance. She had never met such a familiar man. If he was not in his forties, she would have thought that someone was deliberately hitting on her.
"No"
Guan Xiaoguan answered firmly, I am a grown-up girl now, okay?
Have you ever seen a girl with fair skin, long legs and wavy hair? This person is really interesting. What kind of person did the grandfather find to pick her up? It doesn't seem reliable at all.
"Could it be a grown-up girl? A grown-up girl is good. My little brat doesn't have a girlfriend. I think you're the right one. I'll go back and ask your grandfather for marriage. Let's go, let's talk about it when we get back."
He Yukai made the decision in a domineering manner, without giving Guan Xiaoguan any chance to refute.
Guan Xiaoguan rolled his eyes helplessly, not wanting to talk to him. What era is this? He still wants to take care of everything? How is that possible?
So you're waiting here? I haven't seen what your kid looks like yet? You look like a chatterbox and unreliable.
He Yukai didn't know that Guan Xiaoguan had already given him the unreliable label, otherwise he would probably regret greeting her like this? When they met, he was sure that this girl was worthy of their He Bing.
As for what is arranged marriage? Is it arranged marriage to let you fall in love? At most, if you can't get Guan Xiaoguan, you can't think about doing what you like. It's not a big deal.
You can't even pass a small level, and you still want to do big things? I'm afraid you're overthinking it, right?
"Little girl, get in the car, don't just stand there"
He Yukai looked at Guan Xiaoguan with amusement, knowing that Guan Xiaoguan was confused by what he said.
"Grandpa, your granddaughter is back."
He Yukai shouted loudly, "Uncle Guan." Guan Xiaoguan didn't say a word in the car. He kept looking out the window and frowning from time to time. He must have been not used to the bumpy ride of the jeep.
When he reached the entrance of the alley, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The little girl is a little spoiled, which is not good. She needs to be entrusted with important tasks and her spoiled habit must be corrected.
"Hey, the lazy cat is back"
All right! Uncle Guan saw Guan Xiaoguan's eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled. He Yukai had been regarded as a construction period. He touched his nose, poured himself a glass of water and slowly closed it. He must be thirsty for such a long time.
"grandfather"
Seeing Uncle Guan’s old face, Guan Xiaoguan’s eyes were filled with tears.
The golden bean was about to stay, and He Yukai felt embarrassed, so it was better to leave for a while. "Grandpa, you guys can chat, don't cook, I'll ask the restaurant to send it over, I'll go pick up my son"
"Isn't your son studying at Jingcheng University?"
Isn't this kid's son in class? Why pick him up at this time? It's okay for you to arrange food, that's what you should do, but what the hell is picking up your son?
"Yeah, I think your granddaughter is pretty good. I'll introduce her to my son. Maybe she'll be my daughter-in-law in the future, haha..."
He Yukai looked at Guan Xiaoguan jokingly, as if to say, "Do you think I'm joking?"
"You kid, I've only seen your son once, he looks pretty decent, why not call him over to have a look?"
Grandpa Guan was overjoyed. His only worry now was that his granddaughter would follow the fake foreigner. This guy was a nice guy, and his son should be no worse. It would be a good opportunity to see if they were a good match.
"Oh, Grandpa"
Before Guan Xiaoguan could recover from He Yukai's words, he was defeated by his grandfather's attitude. How could he be like this? Are you still my grandfather?
"Okay, I'm leaving first"
He Yukai chuckled, turned around and left.
He Bing has an eccentric personality, especially that ideal that He Yukai is a little worried about.
Although I have no objection, it won't work without someone to supervise me. Guan Xiaoguan is quite strong, and if the two of them can be together, it might be a constraint for He Bing.
He Bing was confused by He Yukai's request for leave. He didn't hear that anything happened at home, so why did he need to take leave?
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Come on, introduce me to a girl, and I tell you, find a way to get her, otherwise I won't support your ideal.
This is the mission assigned to you, you won’t suffer any loss. I’m telling you that Eagle Sauce is back and looks so beautiful.”
He Yukai is very obedient to his daughter, but he is not so easy to talk to his son. He even said threatening words. He Bing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Is this still the wise and hardworking father?
Why does she feel so much like a matchmaker? He also became curious about the girl he was about to meet. He knew how high his father's standards were. It must be very difficult for her to be favored by his father.
"Dad, there's no rush to find a partner."
"Why aren't you anxious? He Jiang and He Xiao both have partners, but you don't.
Your mind is full of other things. I have to find someone who can take care of you so that I can feel at ease. At least I will have a home now, and I will think twice before making decisions in the future. Come with me first and we'll talk."
"Dad..."
He Bing wanted to discuss it further, but He Yukai's attitude was very firm and did not give him any chance to refute.
"No room for argument, get in the car"
He Yukai domineeringly took He Bing to pick up Cai Wenqing to pack the food, and drove straight to Uncle Guan's yard.
"Silly, why are you in such a hurry to take me to Master Guan? Is there something going on?"
Cai Wenqing is training the waiters at the private restaurant. The waiters there have a lot to learn, so he specially found a foreman from the State Guesthouse for training, which took a lot of effort.
She was hurriedly pulled out by He Yukai, changed her clothes and went straight to Uncle Guan's house. She thought something had happened to Uncle Guan, so she tried to ask He Yukai in a calm tone.
"Well, Grandpa Guan's granddaughter is back. You should go over and take a look. I want to introduce her to Xiaobing. You should go and observe her as well."
He Yukai appears to be nonchalant about supporting you, but he is actually very proud of it. He Bing is already not young anymore, and Cai Wenqing is worried, but the key point is that this kid has never talked about having a girlfriend.
At this time, many people bring their children to university. At the age of twenty-four or twenty-five, if they don’t even have a partner, wouldn’t it be worrying?
"Really?"
The surprise came too suddenly. He Jiang and He Xiao both had their own goals, but He Bing was a blockhead and no one knew what he was thinking about all day. Now that there was such an opportunity, he definitely wanted to go and take a look.
After getting He Yukai's affirmative answer, she immediately began to check whether her clothes were appropriate or not. This is a two-way choice. When girls choose boys, they will also look at the parents of the Southern parents. Of course, boys will also look at whether the girls are suitable.
In fact, it is not necessary to bring Cai Wenqing along. Observation is just He Yukai's excuse. The main reason is that there are three grown men and no woman, so Guan Xiaoguan would feel embarrassed.
There is plenty of time to observe, so there is no need to rush.
Guan Xiaoguan was called back by Uncle Guan. One reason was that he was afraid that Guan Xiaoguan would learn bad things from his disrespectful daughter-in-law, and the other was that He Yukai needed help. He Yukai suggested it, and the two of them hit it off immediately without needing to find excuses.
Guan Xiaoguan originally studied hotel management in Yingjiang, so it is a perfect fit for him. He can also bring back the management methods from there, which is the most important thing.
Although He Yukai knows a lot of related things, he only knows the basics and is definitely not comparable to Guan Xiaoguan, who is professionally trained.
He Bing stared at Guan Xiaoguan closely, feeling a little nervous. What should he do?
That temperament is what attracted He Bing the most. She is capable and natural, and the way she stares from time to time is simply so cute, isn’t it?
At this moment, Guan Xiaoguan felt uncomfortable being stared at by He Bing. Combined with the conversation between He Yukai and his grandfather, he knew that the person in front of him should be the son He Yukai was talking about.
He studied at Jingcheng University. He was tall and strong, and well-mannered. It was a bit contradictory to describe him. If I really wanted to find a suitable description, if he was a soldier, he must be a Confucian general.
The first impression is good, but you can't stare at her like that. Even though she grew up outside, she is still very conservative at heart.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?"
It's so rude! How can you stare at a girl like that?
"No, no, you're too pretty, no, you're too ugly, no... yes..."
He Bing's incoherent speech made Guan Xiaoguan couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then it seemed wrong. How could she laugh? Shouldn't she scold him for his rudeness?
He Yukai nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that He Bing was the master at picking up girls.
You can see that the distance between the two of them has shortened a lot. Just by looking at the look in Cai Wenqing's eyes, you can tell that he is definitely attracted to her.
"You are the lazy little cat, right? I've heard your grandfather say this many times. I'm He Bing's mother, Cai Wenqing. Let's go in and have a meal. You must be hungry after the long journey, right?"
"Hi Auntie"
Guan Xiaoguan's attitude towards Cai Wenqing is obviously different from He Yukai's. Is this He Bing's bonus? Or is it just women's nature?
"Hey, why does my lazy cat feel different? When did he become so diligent?"
Uncle Guan looked at Guan Xiaoguan who was helping Cai Wenqing put the dishes on the table, and couldn't help but teasing him. It's amazing, listen, little lazy cat.
There is nothing wrong with the nickname. Guan Xiaoguan would rather stand than sit, and would rather lie down than sit, but he is deeply loved by Uncle Guan.
Now he is helping Cai Wenqing serve dishes. It’s really amazing.
"Grandpa, you..."
Guan Xiaoguan stamped his feet and looked at his grandfather helplessly. Why are there so many people here? Don't you know how to save some face for me?
"What are you looking at, little brat? Go help me."
He Yukai kicked He Bing, who was still standing there looking at him stupidly. Why was his reaction so slow? Uncle Guan and He Yukai smiled at each other.
Uncle Guan hopes that Guan Xiaoguan can stay in China and not go back to Eagle Sauce, so that he can work and study here at the same time.
The reason for going to work is that He Yukai needs such talents, and Uncle Guan also hopes that Guan Xiaoguan can learn about antiques.
I will have to leave eventually, and I am definitely not at ease leaving these things to my son. If someone disrespectfully takes them out, he will not be at peace even in the underworld.
The most important thing is that she is afraid of marrying a foreign husband. As someone who had lived through that era, she had seen with her own eyes how the foreigners bullied the Chinese people.
He had no good feelings towards foreigners, and he would be furious if his granddaughter found a foreigner.
Look at He Bing, he is good, stand like a pine tree, sit like a bell.
The most important thing is to understand He Yukai's character, then his son will not be too bad.
Cai Wenqing kept finding topics to get closer to Guan Xiaoguan. Women have a lot of topics to talk about, and it didn't take long for the two to become familiar with each other.
Cai Wenqing was well-educated and could accept new ideas. After all, she was a progressive young woman and participated in many student activities.
The two had a lot of common topics. Although Guan Xiaoguan didn't know Cai Wenqing's cultural level, she knew a lot during the chat, even better than her mother.
Guan Xiaoguan and her mother can't get along at all. They always talk about money and luxury goods. There is nothing to talk about.
Chatting with Cai Wenqing feels different now. Cai Wenqing moves a lot, has high emotional intelligence, and is very comfortable to chat with.
Grandpa Guan’s eyes were narrowed with joy. His granddaughter is not leaving. That’s great!
These things of mine must be inherited eventually, and I had originally planned to entrust them to Han Chunming, but this guy refused to agree no matter what. I was worried about handing them over to my son, so the best candidate must be my granddaughter.
Grandpa Guan hopes that his family's inheritance will not be broken. Now he only has one granddaughter and he has no other choice.
"Little lazy cat, your grandfather told you about the job, right? I really need people like you here, I hope you can join us."
When it comes to business, He Yukai doesn't waste time and directly asks Guan Xiaoguan for her opinion.
"Can"
Guan Xiaoguan was straightforward. He had already discussed the situation of the restaurant with his grandfather. He knew that although it was still registered under the name of the steel mill, it was actually an individual business.
"Okay, I'll give you 5% of the profit as compensation. You can take two days off before you start working."
The meal was over and it was time to go. Ignoring He Bing's dawdling, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Uncle Guan, we are leaving first. We still have to send Xiaobing back to school."
"become"
He Bing is obviously interested in her. Whether you can win her over depends on your own ability. You need to be thick-skinned to chase a girl. I can't help you with this.
