brother in law?
Hearing Liu Quan's words, Xu Bo'an was a little confused, and then quickly thought of his ex-wife Qi Xiaoxue's brother, Qi Xiaoqiang.
It should be about him!
But to be precise, he should be the former brother-in-law.
What is this guy doing in Dongjiang Second Construction?
What talisman are you holding? Play! You can't just give yourself a peace charm!
Although he didn’t know what he was here for, Xu Boan knew that this guy must have bad intentions!
Thinking of the disgusting memories this weird family brought to him, Xu Boan showed a disgusted expression.
So, Xu Boan said sternly: "Okay, you can handle this matter how you want to handle it. Follow the company's rules and regulations and relevant safety precautions and emergency plans. Just pretend that you didn't call me. I didn’t know about this even after this phone call.”
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, a little confused and at a loss.
After all, generally speaking, this statement can be understood in two ways.
First, the leader tells you to deal with your relatives impartially to avoid suspicion.
This is like your manager telling you, "So-and-so in your department is my relative. You must treat them equally and don't condone them for my sake." Then you need to be careful!
There is another situation where the person has indeed made a mistake and should be punished, but due to various reasons, the leader cannot come forward to deal with the other party on his own. For the sake of the overall situation and a harmonious environment, so as to work better, he can only borrow people to do it. Follow the formal procedures.
Because Liu Quan has not had much contact with Xu Boan over the years, and he came to work in the company late, so he does not understand the causes and consequences, so it is difficult to accurately grasp Xu Boan's intentions for a while, and he cannot understand Xu Boan's intention. The implication of this sentence is accurate.
In order to better make a correct judgment, Liu Quan had no choice but to bite the bullet and asked with a grimace: "Mr. Xu, do I still need to call the police?"
Xu Bo'an said calmly. Said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, I am single now."
After that, Xu Boan hung up the phone.
Liu Quan completely understood this incomprehensible remark.
Mr. Xu made it very clear that he is single.
This means that he doesn't even have a lover, let alone any relatives such as brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
No way!
In other words, the suspicious person caught in front of him is not even remotely related to Mr. Xu.
In this case, it will be easier to handle.
......
After hanging up the phone, Xu Boan once again turned his attention to the bonsai.
Then, Xu Boan was dumbfounded.
In the bonsai, the small basin I placed is still there.
The water is also there, and the glass bowl in the basin is still upside down.
But the little pangolin that was originally staying on the "island in the middle of the lake" at the bottom of the bowl disappeared.
There is only one thick branch still floating on the water in the basin, and fallen leaves are scattered on the water, blowing in the wind.
Xu Bo'an guessed right away that although this guy didn't know how to swim, he was not a complete fool.
It must have escaped on this thick branch.
It’s just that Xu Boan is very strange, where did this thick branch come from?
I subconsciously looked around the basin and saw a group of monkeys swinging on the tree on the side of the mountain.
Many branches and leaves were scattered all over the ground by these monkeys.
Well, this is a coincidence.
The branch must have fallen into the water basin by coincidence. The pangolin held the branch and paddled out to the edge of the water basin, and then escaped.
Xu Boan looked carefully and found that these monkeys were actually the same group of monkeys he had seen in Kaoshan Village before. Xu Boan also had a close relationship with this group of monkeys.
Earlier, Xu Boan's thuja tree was discovered when he was curiously observing a group of monkeys. This turned Xu Boan into a man worth tens of millions.
Later, because Xu Boan asked the villagers in the backing village to share some sweet candies, flour cakes and water with the monkeys, the monkeys also brought monkey wine.
Later Xu Boan treated a little monkey for a fever, and the leader of the monkey group gave him a very old Polygonum multiflorum as a gift.
Xu Bo'an still remembers that in order to give the little monkey the right medicine, he was regarded as a mental patient by the doctor who consulted online!
Xu Boan stared at the group of monkeys carefully for a while, and soon found the monkey leader who took the little monkey to the mountain temple for consultation that day.
"Long time no see, you haven't been here for a long time." Xu Bo'an took the initiative to say hello.
Except for the first few days, Xu Boan has always seen this group of monkeys moving in this area within the bonsai area.
Hearing Xu Boan's words, the monkey was obviously stunned, and then looked around and said: "Who are you? How did I hear who was talking to me? It's such a familiar voice."< br>
Well, they are animals after all, so I overestimate them.
This memory!
Xu Bo'an had no choice but to remind you: "I am the one who helped you treat the monkey grandson in Shanshen Temple."
The monkey leader paused, and then shouted in surprise: "God? You are the fairy grandfather!"
Xu Bo'an responded: "Yes, what happened to the little monkey? Did he recover well? "
The monkey leader said happily: "Okay, very good, very good. Grandpa Fairy, we are picking fruits and we are going to send some to you soon."
Okay. Guy, animals are animals, and you don’t know how to be subtle. You tell me so straightforwardly whether I want it or not.
Of course, Xu Boan just thought about it in his mind and didn't take it seriously at all.
Xu Boan is still thinking about the pangolin beast. After all, that thing is worth a lot of money.
Xu Boan asked carefully: "You happen to be here. Let me ask you a question. Did you just see an animal in the water basin below?"
The monkey leader was stunned. After a moment, he said: "Water basin? Water? Are you talking about the lake below?"
In Xu Boan's eyes, a mere water basin is not as huge as a group of small monkeys. The lake!
“Yes, yes, there was an animal lying down in the middle of the lake. Did you notice it?”
The monkey leader thought for a while and then said: "We did see a big reptile inside when we came here, but when it slipped away and disappeared, I didn't pay attention."
Big reptile!
Okay, in my eyes this thing is very small, but in the eyes of these monkeys, it is already a big bug.
Following these words from the monkey leader, the search for witnesses failed. It seemed that the monkeys did not know that it was the branch they accidentally dropped that let this guy go.
As soon as Xu Boan finished his thoughts, he saw a little monkey chirping close to him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what big reptile are you talking about? Is it the one in the lake below just now?"
The monkey leader said hurriedly: "Yes, that's him. Pay attention. Did you get to him?”
The little monkey said happily: “I noticed that he wanted to come out inside. It was so pitiful that he kept shouting for help, so I threw one for him. He crawled out of the branch and was very happy. I did a great job."
Hearing this, Xu Boan was dumbfounded. This monkey was so kind!
But the monkey leader's expression changed and he said: "Bang! I'll give you a stick, do you want it? Go and find it! That's what Grandpa Immortal is looking for."
"Grandpa Immortal? It's what you said before, Your Majesty, to show us the Holy Spirit..." The little monkey took a breath, his expression of excitement was palpable.
"Yes! Go quickly!" the monkey leader said majestically.
The little monkey said a little aggrievedly: "But, where should I look for it? I didn't notice where he went."
"That's it, no need to look for it." Xu Bo'an said helplessly He spoke. After all, the place is so big, it would be difficult for the monkeys to find it.
It is better to search it yourself. Anyway, in the world of bonsai, Xu Bo'an has the magical power of perspective. Xu Bo'an can also be found underground, not to mention on land.
It just takes a little more effort.
Of course, you may not be able to find it, maybe they have gone far away!
Now that the matter has come to this, Xu Boan has nothing to do.
It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people, and God’s calculations are not as good as those of people.
Originally, Xu Boan hid the washbasin here to prevent the little pangolin from being able to escape due to the isolation of the water. Unexpectedly, he happened to encounter such a thing.
God's will, it seems that I am destined to miss this little guy.
Although Xu Boan felt a little regretful, he still reluctantly accepted this reality.
What makes Xu Boan angry is that this guy was so enthusiastic about eating his piece of ham just now, why did he run away so heartlessly in such a short time?
As soon as the thought came to an end, suddenly, a sound of "chirp, chirp, chirp" was heard.
"I'm hungry, I'm hungry!"
This... is such a familiar cry! Is it the voice of the pangolin?
Xu Boan looked around and saw the little pangolin hiding under the edge of the basin, with a small head exposed and chirping.
Xu Boan suddenly felt like he had regained something. He quickly picked up a small piece of ham sausage with a toothpick and handed it in.
As expected, the little guy once again opened his mouth and swallowed the piece of ham without any thought.
After chewing it for a few times, it was swallowed into the stomach.
“Hungry, still hungry!”
Xu Boan did not pick it with a toothpick this time, but directly broke off a piece of ham and fed it to the ham not far from the edge of the basin. on land.
Originally, this pangolin was hiding under the edge of the basin, leaning on the area where the edge of the basin bent downwards. It looked like a cave, and it seemed safe to hide.
At this moment, Xu Boan used ham to lure him, and he immediately got out of it, opened his mouth wide and bit out the fist-sized piece of ham, and took a tight bite.
We are destined to meet each other.
Since he happened to meet those monkeys and they said they would give him fruits, Xu Boan thought about how to express it.
Then Xu Boan broke off a piece of ham and placed it among the monkeys on the mountain.
As soon as Xu Boan put it down, he attracted the attention of a monkey on the side. The monkey hurriedly came over, stretched its head, and sniffed the smell vigorously.
"Smells, smells good. Come and have a taste." The monkey muttered and immediately started calling his friends.
"Don't eat randomly, be careful of the poison!" the monkey leader said warily.
"This is what I give to you. Don't worry about greeting your monkeys. The monkeys and their grandchildren will just eat it." Xu Bo'an said with a smile.
"Thank you, Grandpa Fairy." The monkey leader made a funny hand gesture, and then hurriedly called his monkey grandson to come over and improve the food.
The monkeys immediately became excited. After all, they have never been exposed to this kind of delicious food since they were born!
Xu Boan was watching the monkeys making noise.
Suddenly, an afterimage swept past Xu Boan in his peripheral vision.
Looking carefully, I saw that the pangolin actually bit the piece of ham from the monkeys and ran away in such a grand manner.
The group of monkeys were stunned for a moment, and then found that the piece of fragrant meat placed on the ground had disappeared. They immediately roared and chased in the direction of the pangolin.
The speed of the mountain beast is so fast?
It was really lucky that I caught it myself before.
The speed of the monkey group is not slow, but the mountain pangolin can dig holes, which is a skill it is very good at.
When it comes to climbing trees, pangolins may not be as good as monkeys.
But compared to drilling a hole, the mountain-walking beast is more than worthy.
Before the monkeys could catch up with it, the pangolin had already gone underground.
Create a path when encountering dirt, and go around rocks, feeling as comfortable and happy as a fish in water.
Why does this guy feel that this innate skill is so similar to his own earth escape technique!
It’s a race that God rewards with food.
Xu Boan's eyes followed the pangolin's path closely, and soon he saw the little pangolin stop.
Then, Xu Bo'an saw an underground cave that was like a field mouse's granary. Inside, there were densely packed piles of bright diamonds, which made Xu Bo'an's eyes warm.
Hey guys, although these diamonds are not big, they are so densely packed that it is really shocking.
This mountain beast actually saved so much on its own.
It seems that this diamond mine might actually have been discovered by this little pangolin.
Xu Boan looked carefully and suddenly saw a shiny golden sign squeezed in among the pile of small diamonds, which seemed to have text patterns on it.
Xu Boan was thinking about how to take it out for observation when the sound of the door being opened came.
Yes, Chen Pingping is back.
Since the pangolin's cave is here, it means that it will not be able to run far in a while.
Xu Boan hurriedly put away the bonsai, went out and chatted with Chen Pingping for a few words, telling her that he was back.
Chen Pingping quickly prepared lunch.
The four dishes and one soup on the table whetted Xu Boan's appetite.
The two dishes placed in front of Xu Bo'an, in addition to the fruit salad that Xu Bo'an ordered before, there is also a dish called fried pork.
Xu Bo'an's mother, Tang Rongzhi, learned this dish from a neighbor's aunt.
The neighbor's aunt is from Shanxi Province. This dish is her hometown. The meat needs to be breaded and fried. It is quite luxurious. When I was a child, I could only eat it on major festivals.
The ingredients for this kind of meat and vegetable should be pork, but people can cook the tender chicken with oil to get the taste of pork. This was very satisfying at the time. After all, pork is more expensive than chicken. , it’s not easy to buy either!
That is to say, the agricultural machinery factory is very profitable, and his father Xu Jiancheng is a master of technology. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to eat meat.
Therefore, this is one of the few meat dishes that Xu Boan liked as a child.
Xu Boan took a chopstick and mixed the oily meat into the rice bowl. He took a bite and nodded immediately.
“Don’t tell me, it really tastes like that!”
Chen Pingping had a happy expression on her face and said with a smile: “That’s right, I got the true inheritance from my aunt, how many of you? Eat something."
Xu Bo'an smiled and was about to say something else when the phone rang.
Liu Quan said with a bit of laughter: "Mr. Xu, the preliminary investigation results of that matter have come out, and I don’t know how to report to you.
The talismans he held in his hand were said to be "unlucky talismans" given by the master outside the Sansheng Temple to bring bad luck to people. Burning them at the residence would bring bad luck to the people living there! What do you think this is? "(End of this chapter)
