My beautiful boss with a poisonous tongue: Abuse

Chapter 444
After Mr. Pang finished stroking the song, the applause rang out again in the wing room, which was even stronger than the applause given to Lin Manxue the first time. Given the prestige of the old man, the applause was naturally warmer.

Lin Manxue took out another jade flute from the big box, put it on the desk and said:
"Old man, after listening to your elegant performance, Man Xue has benefited a lot. I heard that you are about to celebrate your [-]th birthday, and now the Spring Festival is approaching. It is double happiness. Man Xue didn't bring any New Year gifts or birthday gifts. This jade jade Even if Xiao and this guqin are Manxue’s birthday presents and New Year’s presents to you, it is said that a good saddle matches a good horse, and a sword is given to a hero, so please accept it with a smile.”

"I can't do this, I can't do it—" Mr. Pang repeatedly waved his hands and declined.

Lin Manxue said respectfully:
"The old man taught Manxue calligraphy and piano skills in person. He is Manxue's teacher. On the occasion of the new year and the teacher's birthday, Manxue would like to express her heart to her teacher. If the teacher refuses to accept it, she thinks that Manxue is stupid and not worthy to be you." s student."

The old man likes Lin Manxue very much, and he is not a pedantic person. He stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"It's such a sharp mouth, the old man can't talk to you. Okay, I will accept what you want, old man."

The old man was still full of ideas, and wanted to learn from Lin Manxue about other musical instruments. Lin Manxue said apologetically:

"Old man, Manxue also wants to stay and play the piano and flute with you, and listen to your teachings, but we have a mission on our shoulders this time, and time is tight, so we really can't afford to delay, so we bid farewell and go down the mountain. Come up the mountain to accompany you."

I secretly gave Lin Manxue a big praise in my heart, as if I wanted to play hard to get, and stopped when Mr. Pang was very interested, wouldn't it kill him.

This is the same as circles and chachas. When the other party wants to stop, they suddenly stop the supply of firepower, so that they can't get up and down. Can she agree?

When the old man heard that we were going down the mountain, his disappointment was beyond words. The old man certainly didn't want us to go so fast, but he also knew our difficulties.

I just explained our reason for coming. We need to recruit troops to complete a big project before the year. Now that the Chinese New Year is less than ten days away, we can't afford to delay it.

The old man struggled for a while, stroked his beard and thought for a while and said:

"Lin girl, Yu girl, don't go down the mountain in a hurry. I can't promise you anything right away until I understand some things. In this way, let's sit down and talk. I won't delay you for a long time. I will do it after I understand the situation thoroughly." Is it okay to decide?"

Lin Manxue and I breathed a sigh of relief when we saw that this matter had turned around again.

We didn't really want to leave just now, we just retreated, if the old man didn't give us a step down, we really don't know what to do next.

The old man asked if it was ok, and quickly removed the word "do". As long as he is willing to sit down and talk with us, it is his wish.

Lin Manxue smiled and said, "Old man, what a waste of time just sitting and chatting, how about we chat while playing chess?"

The old man said happily: "Haha, Miss Lin, you still know me old man, okay, Yi'er, go and move the chess table over."

The boy named Yi'er left, and moved a chess table over after a while.

This is a square table made of solid wood, with a chessboard engraved on it, and a pair of stone chess pieces are placed on the chessboard, and each chess piece is carved from heavy pebbles.

These pebbles are similar in shape and size, and have a bit of an artistic atmosphere. He is indeed a cultural person, and his favorite things are different from others.

I took the chess piece in my hand and weighed it. A chess piece weighs about 100 grams, which is not light.

The old man asked with a smile: "Girl, do you hold the red or the black?"

Lin Manxue said: "Old man, I don't know much about chess, but I have a master by my side, so be careful."

Lin Manxue pushed me and pushed me onto the chess table like that. I really couldn't laugh or cry.

She is not a good girl, I have never played chess with her, and I have never told her how good my chess skills are, so she will help me brag first, if I lose badly, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Fortunately, I used to compete with my grandpa and other grandpas a lot. I can't guarantee the level of chess skills, but the general level is still there.

At least when I played against my grandfather, I was evenly matched, and we won and lost each other. I believe that my level will not be too ugly to lose.

There are four big characters written in the middle of the chessboard, "No Regrets", in fact, playing chess is playing life, life is like chess, no regrets, so similar, right?

The old man holds the red pieces, and I take the black pieces. We set up the pieces and prepare to go to war.

At the beginning, there is naturally a question of who goes first and who goes second. In traditional Chinese chess, there is a saying that "the red does not take the lead" or "the red does not take the lead", so the black moves first, and there is also a tradition of courtesy. For the juniors, those with a higher level make the ones with a slightly lower level.

Playing chess is a game, which involves both formation and psychological tactics. It pays attention to adaptability and observation, and it also tests a person's patience. It has always been said that the river is three points wide and resourceful.

Real chess masters have a balance of offense and defense, and I prefer to attack more than defend on the basis of the balance of offense and defense, while the old man plays steadily and advances in battle, so we two are inseparable. In the first game, even After playing for more than an hour, there is still no winner.

The old man said: "It's rare for young people to have chess skills like yours. Even if you are comparable to ordinary professional players, you are not far behind."

"Master, you have won the prize."

In the first round, I had a draw with the old man. He couldn't beat me, and I couldn't beat him either.The old man and I played two more rounds in a row, and I drew one and lost one.

After these three rounds, I had two draws and one loss and slightly lost to Mr. Pang.

The old man has already seen that I have given up some water in the third round. He is an elder after all, so it is embarrassing not to let him win.The old man said: "The quality of chess and piano is like character. I think Lin girl and you are not ordinary people. They have good conduct. They should not be the kind of people that others say."

Both Lin Manxue and I looked at Mr. Pang suspiciously, because we didn't understand what Mr. Pang meant, and there seemed to be some misunderstanding.

Mr. Pang began to explain the reason:
"Two days ago, the boss of the He family in Hejialing came up to the mountain to visit me. He has been living outside these years and rarely came back. This year he happened to return to his hometown to visit relatives. We chatted about the situation outside, and he told me that last winter he brought A group of workers worked day and night for a certain big company in Shencheng, and after the completion of the work, the wages were always in arrears, and he didn't get it after asking for it for a year."

"A few days ago, he took someone to ask for salary and was beaten by the security guard of the other company. He lay in the hospital for half a month before he was discharged. When he came to see me, there was still a bandage on his forehead. He said that he was [-] years old. In the past few years, he has traveled all over the world and has not been to any place. The only one who has worked on three projects in Shencheng has suffered three times. He said that he never wants to go to that place to find work in his life."

Lin Manxue and I only reacted at this time. No wonder Mr. Pang rejected us as soon as we said we were from Shencheng. It turned out to be because of this reason.
