Splendid in bag

Chapter 25

After making all the arrangements, Lewis asked for leave and left "Shangyuanchun" to go to Meizhou for vacation with his family members.Everyone knows that Lewis is the type of "devotion to play and devotion to work". Basically, there are clear barriers between work time and personal time.Therefore, if there were not some urgent and serious accidents in the company, no one would contact Lewis who was on vacation.

Lewis can also keep himself on a true "holiday".

Liu Xiusi is another way of life.

As the chairman and CEO of the group, he is too busy to stop at work.

Going on vacation or something is just a different place to work for him.

Of course, in the eyes of many subordinates, his office is just a vacation in another place.

After all, Liu Xiusi's going to the banquet is also "office", playing golf with others is also "office", and even tinkering with wine and rose flowers in the office is also "office"... No one dares to say: "Boss , you seem to be fishing for fish."

Moreover, Liu Xiusi went to Meizhou Villa this time in the name of "investigating business", because Meizhou Villa is also their property.

Hughes also feels that his work time and personal time are not clear.

But this is also something that can't be done.

Most entrepreneurs should be the same as him.He was used to this pace and the rhythm of life.

He and Lewis flew to Meizhou Villa for vacation.

This is a long-established development of the "Proud Eagle Group", which existed before Hughes came to power. "Meizhou" is taken from "Zhang Fan crosses Liupu, knotting cables hides Meizhou. The moonlight covers the river trees, and the shadows of flowers cover the boat buildings". sense, so that the rich can relax and enjoy the holiday atmosphere.

And here is also like what is said in the poem, there are mountains and waters, boats and flowers, moonlight, river trees, song stages and dance pavilions, willow banks and plum islands.

It was already evening when Hughes and Lewis arrived, and the welcoming lady wore colorful embroidered cheongsams and led them into the villa against the moonlight and electric lights that looked like lanterns.

The two walked across a stone bridge and arrived at a pavilion.

The terrain there is high and open, and you can sing the breeze and sing the moon.

It's just that the elders didn't have the pleasure of reciting the wind and playing the moon, they were just drinking and chatting, among them were a few beauties who were young enough to be their own daughters, their faces were full of joy.

After Hughes and Lewis arrived, the second uncle stood up and said with a smile, "You are too late! We have been drinking since daytime, and we are almost cirrhotic, waiting for you two bastards!"

Lewis replied with a smile: "It's really our fault for keeping the elders waiting for a long time." After saying that, he punished himself with three glasses.

Everyone looked at Lewis's gentleness, but drank three glasses of white wine without changing his face, so they thought it was funny, laughed and applauded, and said, "Xiao Yi is so refreshing!"

Saying that, the seven uncles looked at Liu Xiusi again, wanting to see how Liu Xiusi would react.

Liu Xiusi also smiled lightly, but he didn't pick up the wine glass. With his hands behind his back, he spoke in a straight voice like a schoolteacher: "I've been delayed by business, there's nothing I can do about it."

The uncles smacked their lips and said, "That's right...that's something that can't be helped..."

Just let Liu Xiusi go.

Most of the rich and powerful middle-aged men like to drink other people's wine-ah, naturally, some middle-aged men without money and power also like to drink other people's wine, which seems to be a great pleasure.

But more, it is a declaration of power.

"I let you drink it, but you fucking have to give it to me."

——Probably there is such a layer of meaning.

Middle-aged men are the group of people who are most likely to feel vulnerable and in crisis. Many of them rely on the declaration of power to maintain inner stability.

For example, their fifth uncle.

Uncle Wu held the wine glass and said, "Xiao Yi, I heard that your business is doing well, and you have opened a shop in Paris! Congratulations, Uncle Wu respects you for this glass!"

Lewis smiled and took a drink: "Thank you Uncle Wu."

The third uncle also stood up: "Then I will respect you too..."

Lewis frowned, realizing that if he drank any more, everyone would come to pour him a pot, and he couldn't bear it.So he immediately put down the wine glass that was emptied just now, and politely said: "How dare I be the elder to toast."

The third uncle laughed and said, "Why, you drink what the fifth uncle respects, but the third uncle doesn't drink?"

Lewis said with a smile: "No, I just came here at noon, I didn't eat, my stomach hurts."

As he said that, he also covered his abdomen, his green eyebrows were slightly frowned, because he was born with fair and thin skin, he looked a little sick.

Hughes watched from the side, picked up a piece of meat, put it on Lewis's bowl, and said, "Then you should eat more and stop drinking."

The words were not loud, but loud enough.

But as long as Hughes said such a sentence, no one in the whole banquet would call Lewis to drink again.

Those middle-aged men grabbed the girls at the table and poured water on them.

Those girls are all professional wine accompaniments, with smiles on their faces, and they are very cooperative in participating in these boring drinking socials.

Looking at this scene, Lewis was not happy, but he had no room to comment on the words and deeds of the elders. After eating for a long time, he left the table with the excuse of stomachache and discomfort.

Uncle Wu watched Li Yi leave, and didn't care much about what he said. He just said, "This Xiao Yi is as shy as a girl, no wonder everyone says he's gay."

Hughes also put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll go first, too."

Uncle Wu sneered: "What? You two brothers, I can't help but drive you to Hainan Island. What, you want to drive me to the southernmost tip of China too?"

Hughes laughed and said, "The southernmost tip of China is not Hainan Island, but Zengmu Shoal." After finishing speaking, Hughes also left the table.

Uncle Wu thumped the table angrily: "Look at this disobedient son... What did our big brother do? He has only one wife and two sons in his life. The wife cuckolds him, the eldest son rebels for him, and the younger son messes with him." shit suddenly..."

Several uncles also persuaded: "Forget it, forget it...don't be as knowledgeable as the younger generation..."

The girls who accompanied the wine were eating sunflower seeds while eating wine. Listening to the secrets of these wealthy families, they felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Lewis just now looked like he was too drunk and in poor health, but in fact, he was all pretending.

Stomach pain is fake, and so is not eating.He had already had afternoon tea on the private plane.As for alcohol...Lewis actually has a good capacity for alcohol. He just drank four glasses of white wine, so it's not a problem at all.However, if you don't have a task and you have to liven up the atmosphere, then you should avoid acting like you can drink at the wine table, otherwise it will be the most attractive.

It's not that Lewis doesn't like drinking, he just likes drinking, so he doesn't want to spoil the good wine by filling it.

The welcoming lady took Lewis to the house along the flower path.

She thought Lewis was drunk, so she wanted to support him.

But Lewis said: "Thank you..." Lewis looked at Miss Yingbin's badge and saw the words "Liao Zhengyue" written on it, so Lewis said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Liao Zhengyue. But look at me, I can still walk in a straight line, so don’t worry about it.”

Liao Zhengyue also smiled and said, "Okay."

The two walked all the way, but suddenly saw a beautiful and fashionable girl walking on the opposite path.

She is also wearing a cheongsam, but it is obviously different from the cheongsam worn by Miss Yingbin.

Lewis is still a national style brand, and he has a sharp eye. It can be seen that this girl is wearing a cheongsam of jacquard silk, which is tailored and tailored.

"Who is she?" Lewis asked.

Liao Zhengyue said, "Is she? She's also a guest."

Lewis said, "I thought this big garden was only from our Liu family?"

"Yes," Liao Zhengyue replied, "there are only people from the Liu family in this big garden. This is Qiye's guest."

"A guest invited by Uncle Qi?" Lewis suddenly had a thought, "Is your surname Xue?"

Liao Zhengyue was startled, then nodded slowly: "Yes, you know each other?"

Lewis couldn't say how to answer, but just smiled lightly: "It's sort of."

There are three large gardens in Meizhou Villa, among which the one that has been reserved by the Liu family is called "Longquan Garden" because of its hot spring.Each guest has a separate hot spring cottage to live in.Lewis' cabin is next to Hughes, and it is not known who arranged it.

After Lewis entered the hut, he dismissed the servants and housekeepers in the house and enjoyed the night alone.

The hot spring cottage is two-story, the first floor has a small private yard, and there is a hot spring pool in the yard.Lewis was not in the mood to go to the hot springs. He was tired from the flight, and the banquet just now was even more tiring. Now he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he just wanted to have a good rest.So, he went to the second floor, took a bottle of ice water, went to the balcony on the second floor, gulped down most of the bottle, and most of the alcohol was gone.

He suddenly heard movement below, and looked down, only to see that Liu Xiusi had also returned.

"So fast?" Lewis wondered, "Didn't he leave as soon as I left?"

When Hughes was about to walk to the front of his own courtyard, he saw Xue Caiying coming out of the corner.

The night was quiet, and Lewis could hear their voices even standing on the second floor.

Xue Caiying's voice was very sweet: "Lucius, why is it such a coincidence?"

Liu Xiusi was also taken aback for a moment before saying, "It's really a coincidence."

Looking at this scene, Lewis couldn't help saying the same thing in his heart: Is it too coincidental?

Lewis climbed on the railing, stretched his neck like a duck, and pricked up his ears like a rabbit, lest he miss every word said by the couple downstairs.

Xue Caiying only said: "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

Liu Xiusi said: "It's too late, there will always be inconvenience."

Xue Caiying murmured, "Okay, then I'll come to you tomorrow morning?"

Hughes smiled lightly: "But don't be too early, I always get up late when I'm on vacation."

This is really a lie.Since Lewis knew Hughes, he had never seen Hughes get up late.Hughes' biological clock was as accurate as a Swiss watch.

Xue Caiying said again: "Then you say when is the best time for me to come to you?"

"Let's go with fate." Hughes smiled, "Fate is a wonderful thing. It's like, I really can't think of why you appear here at this moment."

Xue Caiying said with a smile: "This... so Uncle Qi didn't tell you, did he invite me? That's really embarrassing, but it makes me want to come here by myself. Uncle Qi is really kind He invited me here, saying that the scenery here is very beautiful.”

"That's why," Hughes replied, "I didn't mean what you thought. I was just a little surprised that I didn't see you at the banquet just now."

"Of course, that man's banquet was messy, and there were some unruly women," Xue Caiying's tone showed a little disdain, "I don't want to join in the fun."

Liu Xiusi said: "That's good, I understand."

Xue Caiying smiled and said, "Then I'll come to you for brunch at ten o'clock tomorrow, so don't shirk it, or you won't give me face."

"Otherwise you will not give me face" is a very powerful sentence.

Uncle Wu also said similar things when persuading him to drink just now.

Just now Lewis did not accept the move.

But now, Liu Xiusi said with a casual romantic attitude, "If I wake up."

"Then I'll take it as your promise." With that said, Xue Caiying left like a butterfly.

Watching this scene, Lewis was still holding a glass of ice water to cool his palms.
