Li Kunning carefully sized up Shi Lei. He saw that Shi Lei's clothes were clean and tidy, and he had a calm temperament. Li Kunning's eyes revealed a satisfied expression. Then, he eagerly said, "So it's Little Stone, quickly come in!"
"Old man, who's here?" Huang Fen's voice came from the kitchen with an inquiring tone.
She thought it was Li Kunning's chess and tea friends who had come to the house to chat.
Li Kunning looked at Shi Lei awkwardly, then he clenched his teeth and said, "Little Yue's boyfriend is here!"
"What?" Huang Fen exclaimed as she walked out of the kitchen.
She looked at Shi Lei with a shocked expression, and her eyes were filled with a sense of scrutiny.
Shi Lei smiled calmly and said, "Hello, Professor Huang.
I'm Shi Lei, Zhiyue's boyfriend. "
Huang Fen hesitated for a moment, then nodded stiffly. Compared to Shi Lei, Huang Fen was more optimistic about Wu Bin, who she knew very well.
After all, Wu Bin was a professor at Shuangqing University and could be considered as a cultured person.
Huang Fen's character was a little bit of a cultured person, but also a little bit of a middle-aged married woman.
Wu Bin was a calligraphy teacher in the art department, and his family was also quite well-off. No matter how one looked at it, Huang Fen thought that Wu Bin was better!
"Little Shi, you're really Zhiyue's boyfriend …" Huang Fen's words were interrupted by Li Zhiyue, who walked out of the kitchen. She looked at Shi Lei with a surprised face, and her eyes were filled with joy and worry.
"Shi Lei, why are you here?" Li Zhiyue deliberately asked with a tone of reproach.
Shi Lei's smile didn't change. He looked at Li Zhiyue with a burning gaze and said softly, "If I didn't come, my girlfriend would have been taken away!"
"You …" Li Zhiyue's face suddenly turned red.
Shi Lei laughed heartily, and handed the wooden box in his left hand to Li Kunning. "Professor Li, I heard that you like to drink tea.
I bought some tea on the way, and I hope you like it! "
Li Kunning smiled as he took the wooden box from Shi Lei's hands. "Little Shi, you didn't have to bring a gift!"
Li Zhiyue rolled her eyes at Shi Lei and snorted, "Shi Lei, you go first. I'm not free today!"
"Xiao Yue, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Li Kunning glared at Li Zhiyue and lectured, "Little Stone came all the way here. Why don't you stay for a meal first?"
Huang Fen frowned and coughed unwillingly. "Old man, it's better to let the young people deal with the matters of the young people!"
Shi Lei's eyes that were hidden behind his glasses flickered as he took out an agate bracelet from his pocket and handed it over to Huang Fen. "Professor Huang, I came here in a hurry, and I didn't know what you like, so I chose an agate bracelet for you.
It's said that agate has the effect of absorbing the negative energy of the human body. I hope Professor Huang can live younger and more beautiful! "
As the saying goes, one doesn't slap a smiling person. Shi Lei had a faint smile on his face. In addition to the gift, Huang Fen forced a smile and said, "Little Stone, you are really too polite!"
Shi Lei said politely, "You're too kind!
It's just a small thing, and it represents my sincerity. I hope Professor Huang likes it! "
Li Kunning winked at Li Zhiyue and said, "Xiao Yue, why don't you take Little Shi inside? You three young people can chat, and your mother and I will cook. It will be ready soon!"
Li Zhiyue looked at Shi Lei helplessly and said, "Come with me!"
They walked into the living room together, and Shi Lei immediately looked at the man sitting on the sofa.
The man also looked at Shi Lei and nodded politely.
Shi Lei also nodded, and then introduced himself with a smile. "Hello, I'm Shi Lei, Li Zhiyue's boyfriend!"
The man on the sofa looked at Shi Lei and said, "Hello, I'm Wu Bin, a calligraphy teacher in the Art Department of Shuangqing University, and Li Zhiyue's boyfriend!"
The two of them were at loggerheads, and neither of them gave in.
Shi Lei frowned slightly. "This opponent is not simple!"
Wu Bin looked at Shi Lei, and his eyes flickered. "Hey, why does this guy look so familiar?
I feel like I've seen him somewhere before! "
Li Zhiyue crossed her arms in front of her. She neither denied Shi Lei's address, nor objected to Wu Bin's words, as if she had nothing to do with it.
Shi Lei sat on the sofa and took the initiative to chat with Wu Bin. "So you're a teacher from Shuangqing University. I wonder if Mr. Wu has obtained the title of professor?
By the way, I heard that there are many beautiful women in the Art Department of Shuangqing University. Do you have any ideas? "Shi Lei's question was very sarcastic. How could Wu Bin obtain the title of professor at such a young age?
Wu Bin's face was as calm as water, and he was not affected by Shi Lei at all. He asked back, "Mr. Shi, you're young and promising. Where do you work?
How do you know Zhiyue? "
Shi Lei's heart sank slightly. Such an opponent was not easy to deal with!
Li Zhiyue snorted softly. "Are you two bored?"
Shi Lei and Wu Bin laughed awkwardly at the same time. They looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Just when the atmosphere between the three of them was strange, Li Zhiyue's parents came out of the kitchen with fragrant home-cooked dishes and put them on the table.
Li Kunning glanced at Wu Bin, and then greeted Shi Lei enthusiastically. "Little Shi, come and sit down and eat!"
Huang Fen snorted and said with a smile, "Little Wu, are you hungry?
Come and try the Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage! "
Wu Bin looked at Shi Lei in surprise. He did not expect that Shi Lei would establish an alliance with Li Kunning so quickly. He walked to the table, took a deep breath, and praised, "Auntie, the smell of this Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage makes me drool!"
Shi Lei secretly glanced at Wu Bin. "This guy is really good at lying through his teeth. It doesn't look good, and it smells even worse. How can it make me drool?
Shameless, shameless! "
Li Zhiyue's family and Shi Lei sat around the square table. Shi Lei and Wu Bin sat face to face, Li Zhiyue sat alone, and Li Kunning and Huang Fen sat together.
At the table, Huang Fen kept putting food in Wu Bin's bowl and asked some questions about the teaching industry.
Li Kunning put food in Shi Lei's bowl and asked, "Little Shi, where do you work?"
Shi Lei picked up a napkin and wiped the non-existent oil on the corner of his mouth. He replied, "Professor Li, I have my own company."
"Little Shi, don't be so polite. Just call me uncle!" Li Kunning said with a smile.
Hearing that Shi Lei had his own company, Huang Fen asked curiously, "Little Shi, what kind of company do you have?"
Wu Bin said in a low voice, "Auntie, I heard that some companies are all empty shells. From the chairman to the lowest staff, they are all held by one person!"
Shi Lei glanced at Wu Bin. He originally regarded him as an opponent on the same level as him, but now he was relaxed.
"Auntie, my company is a high-tech company. It is not well-known in Shuangqing City."
Huang Fen nodded casually. In her heart, she believed that Shi Lei's company was an empty shell.
However, Li Kunning did not doubt Shi Lei. Instead, he said enthusiastically, "Little Shi, you are really young and promising!"
Shi Lei said modestly, "You are flattering me!
Compared to Professor Wu, I am still far behind! "
Huang Fen deliberately tried to find a topic, "Little Wu, it is said that eating fruits after a meal is good for health.
Which country did you import the fruits you just brought in from? "
Wu Bin pretended to be indifferent. However, he could not hide the smile on his face.
"Auntie, those are kiwis from New Zealand and navel oranges from Australia. They were all imported by air!"
Huang Fen said cooperatively, "Oh, Little Wu, those fruits are not cheap!"
"Auntie, don't say that!
Those are just my good intentions. As long as Auntie and Uncle like them! "Wu Bin glanced at Shi Lei with a hint of arrogance.
"Mr. Shi, I don't know what gifts you brought?"
Li Kunning snorted and glared at Wu Bin with dissatisfaction. Then, he said, "Little Shi knows that I like to drink tea. He specially brought some tea leaves for me!"
Wu Bin frowned and said, "Mr. Shi, I don't know what kind of tea leaves you bought?
The recent news reports have exposed a group of criminals who illegally sell inferior tea leaves.
Mr. Shi, did you look carefully when you bought them? "Although he said it as a reminder, he was actually mocking Shi Lei for buying inferior tea leaves from a roadside stall!
Li Kunning was even more dissatisfied. He snorted and said, "Little Wu, is today's Twice Cooked Pork delicious?"
Such a stiff change of topic was obviously not going to work. Shi Lei took the initiative to solve the problem. "Uncle, since Professor Wu knows about tea leaves, why don't you take out the tea leaves I bought and let Professor Wu appraise them? If they are fake, I will definitely ask for an explanation!"
Li Kunning picked up the wooden box in the corner of the living room. After opening it, he was slightly surprised to find that it was still a wooden box.
He continued to open it and found twelve exquisite tea cakes. They were placed in a yellow fine-forged box.
Just by looking at the packaging, one could tell that these tea leaves were not cheap!
Li Kunning handed the wooden box to Wu Bin and said with a hint of ridicule, "Little Wu, take a look and see if these tea leaves are fake products from illegal vendors!"
Wu Bin's forehead was faintly oozing sweat. He carefully observed the tea cakes and was slightly surprised.
Wu Bin knew about tea and was also a tea lover.
"This is …" Wu Bin looked at Shi Lei and asked, "This is Biluochun, right?"
Li Kunning answered on behalf of Shi Lei, "Little Wu, your taste is not bad!
This should be a special grade Biluochun tea cake! "
As he said that, Li Kunning turned to Shi Lei and said, "Little Shi, when you leave later, take these tea leaves with you!
I can't accept such expensive tea leaves! "
In 2006, even Li Kunning, who was a professor, only had a salary of 2,000 RMB.
He was an old tea lover, so he was very clear about the price of a special grade Biluochun tea!
Shi Lei smiled embarrassedly and said, "Uncle, spare me!
I am not a tea lover. If you want me to drink this, I would rather drink a cup of Gaiwan tea that costs only 1 RMB! "
Huang Fen looked at Shi Lei with a trace of bewilderment.
"Could it be that this Shi Lei is really young and promising?"
Li Kunning continued to decline, "Little Shi, I have taught all my life, but I have never accepted such an expensive gift. You should take it back!"
Li Zhiyue said, "Dad!
Just take it!
This is nothing to him! "
Shi Lei hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes. Uncle, please take it!"
Huang Fen caught the meaning of Li Zhiyue's words and thought of something else. She smiled and asked, "Little Shi, is that agate bracelet also very expensive?
Then I will return it to you! "
