Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 570
[Chapter 567: Poaching Instructor Hu]
“Change jobs?”
Cheng Xiaodong didn’t know what job David wanted to invite her to, but she had never thought of leaving the police force, so she refused without even asking.
“I haven’t thought about it.”
“Is that so…”
David didn’t feel disappointed. He just happened to meet her, and he casually invited her, which also left an impression on Cheng Xiaodong.
When Cheng Xiaodong’s career in the police force is not going well in the future, she will naturally remember her invitation today.
At that time, she should have learned about Winter City and her situation from Cheng Xiaoxi, and maybe she would switch to the Winter City Police Department.
When they arrived at Cheng’s house by car, Cheng Sheng, who had three beautiful daughters and a handsome son, looked like a very blessed person, the kind who could develop super powers by picking up a secret book.
When Cheng Sheng saw David and learned that he was a guest invited by Xiaoxi, he was immediately overjoyed. Without waiting for his daughter to explain, he immediately went to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch to entertain the distinguished guest.
“Xiao Xi, you go first… Hey, look at me, I even forgot to ask the guest’s name, how to address him?”
“David Glamorgan, just call me David.”
“Oh, David, do you have any taboos or food that you don’t eat?”
“No…” David hurriedly pulled Xiao Xi’s father and told him not to rush to cook, but to sit down and let him check.
“Check?”
“Dad, I invited David to help you with your medical treatment.”
“Medical treatment?” Cheng Sheng realized that he might have made a mistake: “Are you a doctor?”
David wanted to deny it, but then realized that his original profession was a priest, and priests were equivalent to doctors in Azeroth, so he could barely be considered a doctor.
What’s more, Cheng Xiaoxi answered the question even faster, and directly fooled her father, saying that David was an expert, and she had finally invited him to come and treat her father at home at a high price.
Cheng Sheng, who originally thought that it was his son-in-law, suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and said very unhappily: “No need, I have checked it many times.”
In fact, he was very panicked. After all, his terminal illness was fake. If the experts really found any clues, his daughters would probably rebel together.
“It’s just a look. I’m not asking you to do all kinds of examinations. It’s not troublesome.”
“Alas, so many machines have checked repeatedly many times, and they have confirmed this result. What’s the point of just looking?” Cheng Sheng took the opportunity to urge his daughters to bring their boyfriend back quickly, and solve the lifelong event while he could still hold on, so that he could go to their mother with peace of mind… Chirping
, Wai Bi Ba Bu…
Cheng Xiaodong and Cheng Xiaoxi had a splitting headache after hearing these words, but thinking that their father was suffering from a terminal illness, it was not easy to refute at this time, so they could only sit there and hold on.
David was sitting quietly by the side, watching Cheng Sheng’s various performances. Suddenly, the old man changed the subject, stared at him and asked, “David, are you married?”
“Not yet.”
“Do you have a girlfriend? If not, what do you think of our Xiaoxi? You are both doctors, you must have a lot in common…”
Seeing that his father was about to push his third sister into the fire pit, Cheng Xiaodong hurriedly pulled his father to the kitchen: “How can you let the guests sit there and starve? Dad, I will help you go to the kitchen to make lunch.”
“Ah? Oh, okay.”
Cheng Sheng, who was dragged away by Cheng Xiaodong in a daze, whispered to his eldest daughter: “I think this David is good, do you think Xiaoxi has a chance?”
“No chance, he is so handsome, there are many beautiful women chasing after him, and they are either rich daughters or European princesses.”
“Ah? So amazing?”
“Yes!”
“Xiaoxi really has no hope?”
“Definitely no hope!”
…
After the two of them completely disappeared, Cheng Xiaoxi showed David an awkward smile, and then thought of the business: “How is it?”
“What do you mean? Big sister said you have no chance? Actually, I think your big sister is not accurate. You still have some hope.”
“…”
He raised his hand and punched David hard with his little fist. Anyway, David was so strong that he couldn’t hurt him no matter how hard he punched.
“I’m asking about my dad’s illness.”
“Oh, this!” David drank a sip of water and put on an expert look. When Cheng Xiaoxi raised her fist for the second time, he slowly said, “Your father is in good health. He doesn’t even have many common diseases among the elderly.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that your father doesn’t have cancer.”
Cheng Xiaoxi put down her fist and tilted her head in confusion: “No, that inspection agency is very famous. How could it be a misdiagnosis? Could you have made a mistake?”
“It may not be a misdiagnosis by the inspection agency!” Are you kidding? What kind of existence is David? How can he make a mistake in a mere cancer? If he says there is no cancer, then there is no cancer!
In order to avoid the difference between the real development and the original plot, David carefully checked Cheng Sheng’s physical condition and could guarantee 120% that Cheng Xiaoxi’s father definitely did not have a terminal illness.
A word of warning awakened Cheng Xiaoxi, and she immediately realized that her father was pretending to be sick to deceive her, just to urge her sisters to find boyfriends quickly.
“Okay, you even resorted to such tricks.” Cheng Xiaoxi was furious at her father’s dirty tricks, especially when she thought about how she was going to use her own money to offset the medical expenses for her father’s treatment, but she found out…
Oh? Since her father didn’t have cancer, David didn’t need to treat him! Since David didn’t treat him, he naturally didn’t need to pay the bill!
This is really a blessing in disguise!
“What about the cost of the visit?”
“I’ll treat you to a big meal!” Cheng Xiaoxi pointed to the kitchen: “My father’s cooking skills are great, not worse than those top chefs in restaurants, you’re in for a treat today.”
Cheng Sheng’s cooking skills are indeed good. After having a hearty lunch, David said goodbye and left in Cheng Sheng’s reluctant eyes.
The sisters Cheng Xiaodong and Cheng Xiaoxi didn’t say anything to see her off, but just called a taxi for her, and then went to find Cheng Xiaonan together.
Looking at the postures of the two sisters, it is estimated that their father will be unlucky next.
After returning to Tianxiahui by car, David did not go back to the company, but called Hu Huishan to have dinner with him at Manhanlou.
Since the Manhan Banquet showdown with Chaofan Catering Group, Manhanlou has not only made tens of millions of cash, but also further promoted its reputation.
Now the Hong Kong food industry knows and recognizes the strength of Manhanlou. There is an endless stream of people coming to drink tea and eat every day. If you don’t make a reservation in advance, there is no way there will be an empty table.
David called in advance to greet her, and only then did he get a seat when Hu Huishan arrived.
“Why did you suddenly ask me to have dinner with you?”
“I have something to talk to you about.”
David looked at her and found that Hu Huishan not only changed her clothes, but also put on exquisite makeup. This is quite rare for Superintendent Hu, who usually only puts on light makeup at most.
As an experienced police officer, Hu Huishan also noticed that David was looking at her face, and explained casually: “There will be an operation in a while, and all the female police officers are required to dress up. I have been practicing makeup recently, so as not to be too unfamiliar with makeup skills and be embarrassed.”
“Even if Ah Shan doesn’t make up, she will still be the most beautiful woman in the audience.”
“Save these words for your girlfriend!” Although Hu Huishan said so, the upturned corners of her mouth still exposed her true thoughts, but she kept reminding herself, or reminding David: “I am not young anymore. If I don’t make up, some traces are very conspicuous.”
After chatting for a few words to warm up the scene, when tea and snacks were served, Hu Huishan asked David what exactly he wanted to ask her out?
Seeing that the plan was almost ready, David finally told his plan: “I want to ask Ah Shan to work for me.”
“Your place? Wanshiwu?”
Hu Huishan remembered that although Wanshiwu had taken a few orders, it was usually very idle. There were only three people in the whole company, including the newly recruited front desk girl, and all the commissions were basically completed by David alone. Does it need to recruit extra people?
Could it be that David was going to expand the company and let her be responsible for solving some of the commissions? But she had no interest in this kind of work. Just when she was about to refuse, she heard David say, “It’s not a jack of all trades.
” “Not a jack of all trades? Do you have other companies?”
“It may not be accurate to say company.”
David came clean and simply told her about his identity and general situation.
Hu Huishan’s reaction was not unexpected. She smiled and listened to it as a story: “It sounds like that…”
What about the Kingdom of Winter, Winter City, His Majesty the King, etc., sounded like a fairy tale. Of course, Hu Huishan didn’t believe these words.
If David said that he was actually a nobleman from the UK, and his family had some industries and needed someone to help manage them, she might believe it, and at most she would question why he asked her?
David, this young man, obviously had impure intentions!
Hu Huishan also had some good feelings for David, but she knew that there was an age gap between them, and David had never lacked beautiful girls around him. She always felt that he was just looking for her to have fun and excitement, just for fun, and the two of them could not have a result.
Some time ago, David and Cheng Le’er went out to sea together. She thought David had found a new target and no longer paid attention to her, but she didn’t expect him to come back to her.
While she was happy that her charm had not diminished, she was curious about what tricks David would use. At the same time, she kept reminding herself: Don’t lose control of yourself and surrender when you see that the other party is young and handsome.
But no matter what, Hu Huishan never thought that David would make up such an outrageous thing. Does she look like she is easy to deceive?
Even a teenage girl would not believe such outrageous words, right?
