At dusk, the light had dimmed, and the street lights had not yet turned on. The clean, slightly narrow roadside, the main part of the light gray modern small buildings, under the low fence and a few evergreen trees, quiet and peaceful. The pale yellow light in the house, the swaying figures on the kitchen window, and the music wafting out of the house make people feel warm and warm.

Gao Xu received two phone calls, Wang Cheng and his wife and Xiao Deng were almost there. He described the specific location and route of the house twice.

Then he called Miao Jin and said, "Let's go to the door and pick them up." ”

Miaojin stood up from the side of the amplifier and walked over. She wore a dark purple dress with beautiful white shaved shoulders, which matched the modern style of the house's furnishings. It was also the least conservative way she dressed in front of people, probably because dinner was at home.

The chef in the kitchen glanced outside and asked, "Mr. Liu, are the guests coming?" ”

"It's almost there." Gao Xu replied.

The chef gave them a look, and a waiter who wasn't too busy walked out and followed them out.

Gao Xu was also dressed neatly, the man's clothing only had a few styles, he had short hair, so he basically didn't wear a traditional robe.

Miao Jin smiled: "I think you seem to be showing your prince's palace to the officials, or showing off the palace and army to foreign envoys. ”

Gao Xu turned his head to meet Miaojin's smiling gaze, and the two of them smiled. The three of them had already walked outside the fence, and Gao Xu stood on the side of the road, and then he muttered, "There is a certain psychological similarity. ”

After a pause, he continued, "But some people, in order to satisfy their vanity, may get the pleasure of showing off by comparing and belittling others, or they may treat others as spectators and setboards. Such pleasure is not sustainable or necessarily pleasurable, and often creates a vulgar atmosphere.

I'm different, I treat them like heroes, treat them with respect and reward, and of course treat them with the best things possible. Guests will also feel that they are important enough, otherwise would it be worth the host's bother? So what makes me different is that there is enough kindness. ”

Miao Jin smiled: "You have a lot of crooked reasoning, and you will come when you open your mouth." ”

Gao Xu turned his head to look at the waiter, "Does the girl think I have a point?" ”

The waiter was also looking at him, and hurriedly nodded: "Mr. Liu said it very well, I think you are really an interesting family." ”

"You see, that's what I want." Gao Xu smiled, he thought for a while and suddenly said, "You can also invite your friends to be guests, isn't it about equality between men and women now?" I am equally happy to entertain your friends. ”

Miaojin looked at him and said, "In addition to relatives, I mainly interact with classmates in the same dormitory, they are all female college students in their youth, what do you mean?" ”

Gao Xu was stunned and said, "Xiaowan, can you not always think of me like that...... Not particular. ”

Miao Jin tilted her head slightly to observe him, and smiled, "Animals can be domesticated, including some large dog breeds. People liked its beautiful appearance and wanted to tame it into a docile and quiet animal to keep themselves company in their apartments. But no matter how they teach, they will only follow their own nature, yearning to pull a sleigh and run on the field. ”

The waiter behind him also understood, and laughed out loud.

Gao Xu said with a little embarrassment: "This kind of analogy is not strict at all. People should have a rational side. ”

At this moment,

A taxi pulled up outside the door. The waiter immediately stepped forward, bent down slightly, and opened the back door.

Gao Xu was sure that the chef sent the waiter out to open the door for the guests, and the service was too thoughtful. Perhaps because Gao Xu gave more money but didn't cook much, the chef wanted to be as good as possible for the service charge. In the Sichuan people, who are rich in business and life, Gao Xu immediately saw sincerity and kindness.

Xiao Deng also immediately showed a flattered expression, and his face was slightly twisted. She was still wearing the skirt that Miaojin had bought for her, as if she hadn't bought a new dress for more than a year. This detail made Gao Xu a little confused, after all, the salary paid to her was enough to maintain a decent life, and Gao Xu used to have a similar income when he went to work, and he lived very well, and he could buy a house and travel.

"Welcome to the Humble House." Gao Xu greeted.

Miao Jin also stepped forward to hold Xiao Deng's hand, "You will enter the house in a while, there will be tea and drinks in it." We came when we received Wang Cheng. ”

The taxi driver couldn't help but stop for a moment longer and glanced curiously through the window. Xiao Deng turned around and said, "Thank you, master." ”

Xiao Deng gave the paper bag in his hand to Miaojin. Miaojin said: "Oh, what are you polite?" ”

"A little thought." Xiao Deng said softly.

Gao Xu took out an envelope from his clothes and handed it over.

Xiao Deng said: "This is ......"

Gao Xu said: "Check, it's done." After a pause, he added, "I don't think it's appropriate to give it to you in front of someone else." ”

"Thank you." Xiao Deng should have understood, and said busily, "Then I'll go into the house first." ”

After a while, a sedan drove over, and it was Wang Cheng's car. The car braked, and the front window rolled open. Wang Cheng's chubby face was revealed, "Good evening, Mr. Liu." ”

Gao Xu pointed to the side of the main entrance and said, "The garage is next to it." ”

Wang Cheng nodded and drove the car over. Gao Xu and the others also walked to it, and the waiter stepped forward again, bent down slightly and opened the co-pilot's door first.

Inside, a woman wearing a short gray skirt and a light silver-gray cotton shirt looked up. She should be Wang Cheng's wife, although she wears a shiny gold necklace and a bright jade bracelet, she still has a simple and neat temperament unique to a housewife, and her appearance is quite dignified.

Gao Xu said: "I am very honored to have you here. ”

The woman smiled politely, walked out to look at the side, and said, "We have come to the upper class?" ”

Miao Jin said: "There is no upper and lower level, only a circle of like-minded interests." ”

Gao Xu immediately chimed in: "Well said. ”

Wang Cheng also got out of the car, stood on the other side of the car and said, "Liu is always my Bole, this is Mr. Liu's girlfriend Miss Wei." My wife, Dong Qian. ”

"It's beautiful!" Dong Qian looked at Miao Jindao.

Miaojin was a little embarrassed and said: "Madame has a very intellectual temperament. ”

Dong Qian handed the gift to Miaojin.

Wang Cheng walked around and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Gao Xu. Gao Xu took out the envelope in another pocket, handed it to Wang Cheng, and said, "This is a percentage point in the early stage, and there should be income such as copyright later." Let's meet tonight and keep it. ”

Wang Cheng suddenly looked excited, took the envelope in his hand, and spoke a little unsmooth

"At first, I really didn't expect the number to be so big, and I really have to thank Mr. Liu for his appreciation." ”

Gao Xu said calmly: "You said it very well, our interests are the same, and you deserve it." He continued, "In ancient times, only friends and confidants with whom they had a very good relationship would introduce each other to their families. You see, I invite you to dinner at home, and you bring your wife here, we are partners and friends. ”

Dong Qian said: "You have to be a person like Mr. Liu to make friends, don't mix with those who want to take advantage of legal loopholes all day long, they will only use you as a scapegoat." ”

Wang Cheng's chubby face showed a helpless smile: "Madam said yes." ”

Miaojin turned her head and looked at Gao Xu with a smile, and Gao Xu also showed a helpless smile.

"In the house, please." Gao Xue said.

A few people walked, and Wang Cheng and his wife walked to the back. Then came a whispered conversation, "What else do you put in your pocket, hand it over immediately." "What are you anxious about? The little family is a joke. "How much?" "At least two or three million in the early stage."

Everyone came to the living room, and Xiao Deng, who was standing next to the bookshelf, turned around and smiled shyly at the people who had just come in. Gao Xu took Wang Cheng and his wife over and introduced each other again.

A waiter came over and said, "Our chef said that all the ingredients are ready, and I want to ask Mr. Liu when the food will be served." ”

Gao Xu said, "Wait another ten minutes." Let's take a break from the surroundings. ”

The waiter said, "Okay." ”

Dong Qian said: "Mr. Liu's hospitality is really luxurious. ”

Gao Xu smiled: "Where, if it is a rich family, they will keep a home cook for a long time." I'm here for a short time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get too busy with the treat. But the chef was carefully chosen. ”

"There are so many books in the living room too." Dong Qian looked back and said.

Gao Xu said: "The study and bedroom are upstairs, take everyone up to visit it later." But I prefer to read in the living room. He turned his head to look at Miaojin, "Here, as long as you look up, you can still see Xiao Wan busy from time to time, or doing trivial things, and even chatting a few words." ”

The former owner of this house should also be a wealthy man, and he decorated the living room well, using a lot of solid wood and leather materials. Light grey wooden floors, creamy leather chairs, solid wood counterparts, and timber ceilings are well protected. The colors are simple, and the style of light tones is more obvious. Gao Xu just bought a few bookshelves next to the leather chair against the wall, and bought a set of speakers with wooden shells. Rows of books add a bit of thick ink to the living room.

Only a few paintings on the wall behind the chair, a painting that imitates Monta Lisa, is a bit unsatisfactory.

Wang Cheng's voice said: "Mr. Liu is not afraid of being disturbed? ”

Gao Xu smiled: "Not either. If it's a different person, it's going to be distracted. But those who are used to it will not. ”

Dong Qian's voice next to him said: "Generally, old husbands and wives are like this, there is no need to deliberately pay attention to performance, but couples who fall in love are rare." ”

"Madame does have life experience." Gao Xu turned his head to look at her, "The two of us have known each other for a long time. ”

"There's a yard with a swimming pool at the back, I'll show you there. After a while, you can go to the courtyard and sit. Gao Xu gestured.

So the group followed him out the back door, ready to take a general tour.
