Chapter 262: How could he possibly know a university professor abroad?
Niu Xiaoqiang was so old that he had only spoken to a foreigner, and he was very impressed, and as soon as he heard the voice, he was sure that the person on the other end of the phone was indeed the same Professor Watson he had met before.
Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing, and said in English with a concave accent: "Professor Watson, I am the little boy you are looking for." ”
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and after about five seconds, Watson spoke, "Can you answer me a question?"
"No problem, just ask. ”
"If you're really the person I'm looking for, I'm sure you'll remember the gifts I gave you, right? What are those gifts? How many?"
Niu Xiaoqiang said: What did Professor Watson go through after he came to China, and why did he become so cautious?
"The gift you gave me is dollars, and the amount is a thousand dollars, I wonder if you are satisfied with my answer?"
Professor Watson had no doubts, and immediately shouted, "Yes, yes, yes, you're the one I'm looking for!" Where are you, little one, I'll go see you!"
Niu Xiaoqiang plucked his itchy ears with his little finger, and replied with a smile: "I'm in Qingjiang Petrochemical Machine, and the Director Chen on your side should know the specific location, so he can bring you to the factory guest house." ”
"Okay, I'll get over right now!
"Don't worry, I won't run away. ”
The phone was hung up immediately, Zhang Guangmao knew what was going on as soon as he saw Niu Xiaoqiang's face, and he couldn't help but slap his face: "Xiaoqiang, you are really the person Professor Watson is looking for! Now it's okay, Xiaolan's study abroad is finally in sight! Have you made an appointment with Professor Watson to meet at a place? Tell me quickly, I'll call Xiaolan over, let's rush over together!"
Niu Xiaoqiang waved his hand, and said to Zhang Guangmao, who was a little excited: "Uncle Zhang, I made an appointment with Professor Watson to meet at Qingjiang Petrochemical Machine, but I have only had a relationship with him, and it is not easy to make any requests to others for the time being, otherwise, you call Xiaolan over first, and then we will have lunch together, and take the opportunity to get acquainted, and wait until I have a good relationship with him, and then make a request, you say yes?"
Zhang Guangmao nodded again and again: "You are right, just do what you want, I will call the guest house and ask them to arrange a banquet quickly, but I can't neglect the VIPs." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang reminded: "Uncle Zhang, we are only here with you and Xiaolan, plus Secretary Zhou, four people to participate, Professor Watson's side to see how he arranges himself, as for the dishes of the banquet, I think try to arrange them as plain as possible, but to be distinctive, don't be too extravagant and wasteful, I have seen Watson, he is a very straightforward person, he should not like these empty tricks." ”
Zhang Guangmao laughed: "Cheng, listen to you!"
At this time, Zhou Hongbao knocked on the door: "Director Zhang, the car is ready, and you can leave at any time." ”
Zhang Guangmao waved his hand: "The situation has changed, I won't go out, I will entertain distinguished guests in the factory at noon, you let Lao Liu drive to take Xiaolan to the guest house, and let her have lunch with us later." ”
"Oh...... Okay, I'm going to pass the word. ”
Zhou Hongbao secretly complained in his heart: What's wrong with Director Zhang? Changing my mind is faster than turning a book, what a lot of effort, so I ran back and forth three times.
Zhang Guangmao personally called the director of the guest house and explained according to Niu Xiaoqiang's suggestion. After hanging up the phone, he immediately picked up his briefcase and walked towards the guest house with Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhou Hongbao.
Niu Xiaoqiang looked at the time and estimated that Yu Simei should still be buying clothes. After entering the guest house, he opened a guest room and explained to the service staff, saying that a young woman might come to him later, and if the other party came, he wanted her to eat something, and then she took her to the guest room to rest.
When the service staff saw Director Zhang standing next to him, they naturally agreed, and said that they would definitely do things well.
When the director of the guest house heard that Director Zhang was coming, he hurriedly ran out and listened to the instructions of the leader.
Zhang Guangmao had already calmed down and resumed the posture of the factory director. He gave a few words of advice lightly, and then waved the director away.
The three of them entered a box on the third floor, which was decorated with a very Chinese cultural atmosphere.
After sitting down, Zhang Guangmao asked with a smile: "Xiaoqiang, what do you think of the environment here?"
Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Professor Watson should like it." ”
Zhang Guangmao nodded: "That's good, how do you think the drinks should be arranged?"
Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a while, and then replied: "I'll wait until Professor Watson arrives and I'll ask in person." ”
Zhou Hongbao was already full of curiosity, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but interject: "Factory director, are you going to see a foreigner?"
Zhang Guangmao was in a very good mood, and nodded with a smile: "Well, he is a university professor in the United States, and I want him to help me solve the matter of Xiaolan studying abroad." ”
Zhou Hongbao sighed, turned his head to look at Niu Xiaoqiang: "What does this matter have to do with Xiaoqiang?"
Zhang Guangmao explained the situation a little, and when Zhou Hongbao heard that Niu Xiaoqiang actually knew a foreigner, his eyes almost fell to the ground. He looked at Niu Xiaoqiang with a shocked face, "Xiaoqiang, you ...... Do you really know that foreigner?"
Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly: "I met him last summer, and if I can meet him today, it will be the second time we meet." ”
Zhou Hongbao didn't dare to ask again, so as not to disgust Zhang Guangmao. He looked at Niu Xiaoqiang from time to time, as if today was the first time he met Niu Xiaoqiang.
The three of them sat in the box for less than a quarter of an hour, when Zhang Guangmao's daughter Xiaolan pushed the door in. She still has the same expression on her face as before, and she is cold to everyone, looking like who owes her money and hasn't paid it back.
After seeing Niu Xiaoqiang, Xiaolan's face immediately turned angry, and as soon as she raised her hand to Niu Xiaoqiang, she was pressed to the chair by Zhang Guangmao.
Zhang Guangmao was worried that Xiaolan would offend Niu Xiaoqiang and affect the matter of studying abroad, so he hurriedly explained: "Xiaolan, a foreign professor named Watson is going to come to us for dinner later, and they came here for the sake of Xiaoqiang's face, can you count on Xiaoqiang to study abroad, but don't talk nonsense, understand?"
Xiaolan's original anger disappeared in an instant, replaced by a thick doubt. She looked at Niu Xiaoqiang blankly, and only spoke after a while: "Dad, you shouldn't be mistaken, right? How could he know a foreign university professor?"
