Chapter 199 (1/2)
The drizzle was continuous.
Western restaurants with melodious music may not have many people because of the rain today.
Huo Xiao and fourth Master Liu sat in a quiet corner.
Both sides had tacit understanding that they did not bring any people. Huo Xiaoqiao leaned on the back of his chair with two legs and kept shaking the wine glass in his hand. If he had a smile, he said, ”if the fourth master is really a man of elegance, I seldom come to such places.”
He was not familiar with Shanghai, and the place was naturally chosen by fourth Master Liu.
Fourth Master Liu burst out laughing and was particularly hearty: ”I'm a rude man. How can I know this? Lao Qi and I recommended this place. I'll try it. Ouch, it's really good.”
Huo Xiao smiles: ”seven masters naturally have taste.”
Fourth Master Liu nodded meaningfully: ”no, if you are like us, why do you go abroad to study?”
Huo Xiao laughed, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.
”It's a rare chance to sit with fourth Master Liu. It's fate. Speaking of it, I have been in Shanghai for such a long time, but I seldom walk around with people. It's very wrong to think about it. ” Huo Xiao has something to say.
Fourth Master Liu said: ”this is not right. I don't think so. If anyone dares to let Xiaoye, a famous Beiping master, visit his house, he will be restless. As long as you speak, many people will take the initiative to visit. I dare not trouble you. ”
Huo Xiao sneered and then said, ”the fourth master really can speak.”
Fourth Master Liu took a sip of the wine in the cup: ”the truth, the truth.”
Huo Xiao came out with a smile, and he said: ”what famous shock is not famous, but the brothers give a face. What's more, people always look at the Huo family. ”
When it comes to Huo's family, their eyes are not quite right.
Fourth Master Liu said, no longer answering.
Huo Xiao also quickly changed the topic, he said: ”in fact, I have some business to talk about in Shanghai this time. If things are busy here, I want to go back to Peiping earlier. Shanghai beach is good, but it is not suitable for me
He cut the steak from the cutting plate and said, ”this western thing is not suitable for me.”
Fourth Master Liu raised his eyes and said, ”that's true. Peiping is Peiping and Shanghai is Shanghai. Their habits are different. My hometown was in the north in the early years. When I first came to Shanghai, I was not used to it. After living here for 30 or 40 years, I still have some small habits that I can't change. But slowly, I feel better. ”
Huo Xiao nodded with a smile.
Two people fall into a burst of silence, half ring, fourth Master Liu first opened: ”speaking of my hometown in the north, Xiaoye's hometown is Beiping?”
Huo Xiao: ”exactly.”
He fiddled with his glass: ”when I was a boy, I lived in a famous slum south of the imperial city.”
He dried the wine in one gulp, then took another and continued to shake.
Fourth Master Liu means a lot: ”I was born in a poor family, just like my old Liu. When I was a teenager, I fought on my own, which is different from the young people now. Nowadays, young people pay more attention to their background. We were Oh, how many times did you steal life from death. It's all tears to say what you did
He laughed and then said, ”I really don't know how to speak, but sometimes people of good birth don't understand the feelings of those of us who are born in poverty.”
Huo Xiaoxi's head, rarely seems to have a heart to have the sad Yan's nod, he way: ”that pour is.”
He shook the cup, put it down, laughed, and looked at fourth Master Liu: ”so those who have a hard life understand that it is the best to hold a lot of things in their own hands.”
Fourth Master Liu understood what he said. He said with a smile, ”there is some truth, but I haven't seen everything as satisfactory. I'm not an old man. I'm not a capable man. It's up to you to have a place in Shanghai. It's up to you to look at it, and I'll rely on my elder brother's help. It's good to hold on to your hand, but you should always see where you are. ”
Huo Xiao nodded and smiling: ”that's also true, but no one hates money.”
Fourth Master Liu squinted at Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao laughed and drank all the wine in the cup. He poured another cup for himself.
”And Since Hongmen is not here, since it has been completely separated, it is not necessary for all businesses to be entangled together? Always be careful about making money. Are you right? You may not need a better partner. ”
He bent his finger, dipped it in the glass and wrote a few words on the table.
Fourth Master Liu looked at it and found it was a string of numbers.
He looked up at Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao laughed and got up: ”look at me, my memory is so bad, but I forget there is another urgent matter to deal with.”
He nodded slightly: ”I will go first, fourth Master Liu Think about it
Then go to the counter to settle the account, and then leave.
The numbers on the table dried up quickly.
Fourth Master Liu was speechless. He stared at the numbers on the table and fell into meditation.In a moment, he got up and went out.
The attendant at the door quickly opened the door and said, ”fourth master.”
Fourth Master Liu, with a tiger face, said coldly, ”go to the White House.”
As soon as the car drove out, fourth Master Liu put away his smile with a cold face, not in front of people.
The car quickly arrived at the white mansion, which was the residence of the second master of white.
Since the dissolution of Hongmen, Bai Erye has been closed to the outside world. Only a few people from Hongmen will come to visit, and most of them have not been seen.
Fourth Master Liu hurried in and asked, ”where's your second brother?”
Immediately, the follower said, ”the second master is listening to the opera in the study.”
Fourth Master Liu said, ”go and tell your second master that I have something important to do.”
After a while, fourth Master Liu was invited in.
