Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, Sun Zhanlu is not good at socializing, but he excels in playing mahjong. He doesn't gamble, but loves mahjong and has been the champion of the municipal government's mahjong competition for three consecutive years.
At the mountain villa cafeteria having a buffet meal, Tian Liang quietly asked, "Director Sun, can I not play later? I'll help you clear the table."
Sun Zhanlu glared at him with wide eyes and retorted, "You're not going to play? What did I bring you here for, just to be a light bulb?"
"How much does it cost?"
"Stupid kid, what do you say?" Sun Zhanlu couldn't help but ask again.
Xiang Tianliang's face turned red as he said: "I didn't bring any money, and I still owe the steamed bun shop for breakfast."
Sun Zhanlu pouted and laughed, "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? With your salary of just a few hundred yuan, it's not even enough for someone else to get their nails done once."
"Anyway, anyway, I'm no match for him." whispered towards Tian Liang.
"Haha." Sun Zhanlu laughed and rushed towards Tian Liang, blinking his eyes, saying "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll win for sure, win until your hands ache and your heart feels empty."
Toward the bright and clever words of Sun Zhanlu, he somewhat understood. He suddenly remembered the string of tongue twisters that Old Liu had told him when he first arrived at the Construction Bureau.
Following the old director, the general direction of politics;
Follow Director Gao and you will get an award at the end of the year.
Following Director Chen, you can understand great ideals.
Following Yu Ju Zhang, subsidies will rise.
Following Director Sun, drinking spicy and eating fragrant.
Lao Guo and Lao Chang, can't keep up with each other."
One of the sentences, following Director Sun, drinking spicy and eating fragrant, refers to the benefits of following Sun Zhanlu. The work he is in charge of has a very important link, which is to grasp the issuance of various construction project permits, this is the real source of drinking spicy and eating fragrant.
Isn't there such a saying in the village, as soon as the license is issued, the red envelope is brought back and forth. Without this benefit, why would Sun Zhanlu personally run to Xianhe Mountain Villa?
After lunch, Zhu Qin and Huang Ying came over from another table, "Director Sun, fellow villager, this is the hospitality of Xianhe Mountain Villa, please forgive us for any shortcomings."
Sun Zhanlu smiled and said: "What's wrong with what Director Zhu said? This is quite good, your self-service dining way, I even want to bring it back to the canteen of our bureau for promotion."
Zhu Qin accompanied Sun Zhanlu in front, while Huang Ying accompanied Xiang Tianliang behind.
"Hey, little fellow villager, how old are you this year?" Huang Ying asked in a low voice.
Xiang Tian Liang felt a bit dizzy, earlier during dinner he discovered that Huang Ying's gaze was on him for ninety percent of the time.
This woman is somewhat similar to Ye Nans sister, and she's infatuated with him.
"Huang Jie, I'm 22 years old this year."
Huang Ying took advantage of the situation and grasped Xiang Tianliang's arm, "Little fellow countryman, you have to call me Sister Ying."
"Can't you just call Huang Jie?"
"Hehe... my little countryman is still quite humorous." Huang Ying twisted Tian Liang's waist, "I've already talked to your sister-in-law, from now on you can't call us Zhu Jie and Huang Jie, you have to call us Qin Jie and Ying Jie."
"What's wrong?" Tian Liang asked, pretending to be stupid.
"Hehe, 'Zhu' sounds like 'pig', so Zhu sister is pig sister? And what about Huang sister? You mainland police often say 'sweep yellow', it's not very civilized to shout that."
"Haha, that's also true, always having a cop on your tail isn't pleasant."
"You little country bumpkin, you're really naughty."
Huang Yingjiao snorted and reached out to grab a handful of Xiang Tianliang's hair.
"Ah." She had touched something huge and hard, like she had been electrocuted, her hand jerked back violently, her whole body froze, her two almond-shaped eyes stared fixedly at the bright spot in the sky, muttering to herself, "God, is this real?"
Fortunately, Zhu Qin turned back and said "What are you two dawdling about? Come quickly!"
As expected, Sun Zhanlu was right. Once he sat down at the mahjong table, by dawn, he thoroughly understood a principle: red envelopes didn't need to be sent; Fang Cheng would compensate on his own. This clever way of giving money, he had never seen before.
With a nervous heart, Tian Liang started playing mahjong with his friends for the first time in his life, if Second Uncle found out, he would definitely chop off his hands.
Two men and two women, each facing their respective opponents, formed a formation.
Automatic mahjong table, brand new and shiny jade-carved mahjong tiles, all of these are rare things to Tian Liang, he has opened his eyes today.
Fang Cheng asked with a smile: "Two gentlemen, what's the game?"
Sun Zhanlu smiled slightly and said, "Guests follow the host's convenience."
"Alright, since we're all from Qinghe, let's play by Qinghe rules. Sixteen cards, the God of Wealth as the wild card, no limit on betting, and the loser pays half."
"That's even better." Sun Zhanlu expressed his agreement.
"How many colors?"
Zhu Qin glanced at Sun Zhanlu and said, "Director Sun, what do you think of this pair of twins?"
He was startled by the bright sky, a pair of tens and twenties, equivalent to "ten harmony" twenty yuan, a set of "four hundred harmony" cards, enough to offset his monthly salary.
He didn't dare speak up, with Sun Zhanlu present, it wasn't his turn to talk.
To Zhu Qin's proposal, Sun Zhanlu nodded in agreement, his eyes shining brightly with eagerness.
The dice were rolling, Huang Ying was the banker, and his movements seemed rough at first glance, as if he was a novice. But upon closer inspection, one couldn't help but feel a chill, for Huang Ying's casual demeanor was entirely an act.
Xiang Tianliang is Huang Ying's next house. After putting out a card, he looked up and observed Zhu Qin and Sun Zhanlu coming over.
Zhu Qin's movements are those of a seasoned player, with a calm and composed expression, her bearing is elegant and refined. She handles the cards with precision and beauty, making it a pleasure to watch.
Sun Zhanlu was even more extraordinary, with a fully focused expression that reminded Xiang Tianliang of the old forensic doctor in his university's dissection class.
A master's move is evident from the start, and Sun Zhanlu was paying attention to the cards played by the other three families. His gaze didn't need to focus on his own cards at all, this is the demeanor of a high hand.
She played a card and Zhu Qin took a look at Xiang Tianliang, smiling: "Little fellow villager, can't tell, you're also a master from Fang City."
"Qin Jie is so lucky, this is my first time." Xiang Tianliang smiled shyly.
"Have you practiced before?" Zhu Qin asked with a smile.
"Alright, let's just consider it."
While talking, Xiang Tianliang grabbed a "wealth god" and listened to the cards.
It's Huang Ying's turn to play cards now.
"Bai Ban." Huang Ying softly spoke and threw out a whiteboard.
He was delighted in his heart, he was single-handedly holding a white board, this was exactly the card he needed.
Just as Tian Liang was about to flip the card, Sun Zhanlu shouted, "I've got it!" and flipped over his seven vertical cards, revealing a pair of white boards and a pair of nine holes, all matched.
According to the rules, Xiang Tianliang could have "intercepted and won", but he didn't do so, instead swallowing back the words that had reached his lips.
Sun Zhanluo's flag opens with a victory, and his eyebrows are greatly expanded.
Xiang Tianliang couldn't help but laugh in his heart, no way around it, had to give face to the leader.
At this time, a foot climbed up onto his back, without shoes but with socks.
His foot pressed down slightly on his instep.
His heart skipped a beat, and those should be Huang Ying's feet.
