Chapter 287 Meeting Huang Yuying Again

Fang Hao returned home and studied woodcarving techniques for an hour. Seeing that the time was almost up, he contacted Shang Xiaoxuan, who told him that he had to work overtime today and would not be able to go home until eight o'clock.

After finishing the call, Fang Hao felt that he should try his best to persuade Shang Xiaoxuan to drive to work. Before, she lived closer to her workplace and could take the subway to get home. Now it is different, and the subway station is far away from the community.

Later, Fang Hao thought that Shang Xiaoxuan was working overtime today, and there were not many ingredients in the refrigerator, so he drove to a nearby large supermarket to prepare for a big purchase.

After parking the car, Fang Hao was about to go into the supermarket to buy something, but after walking a few steps, he noticed a familiar figure at the entrance of the supermarket, it was the little girl Huang Yeying.

Speaking of which, when he was in Xijing before, Fang Hao told Gao Xinlan that he would contact Gao Xinlan again when he arrived in the capital.

But since Fang Hao returned to Beijing, Gao Xinlan hadn't contacted him. Because he was busy with work, he forgot about it. Unexpectedly, he saw Huang Yeying, a little girl at the entrance of the supermarket today, and she was alone.

Fang Hao wondered why Huang Yeying was here alone. Isn't Gao Xinlan afraid that the child will get lost or be abducted?
Fang Hao hurriedly walked to Huang Yeying's side, seeing the little girl staring blankly at a leaflet of fried chicken legs, feeling inexplicably distressed, so he squatted down: "Yingying, do you still remember me?"

Huang Yeying was shocked. When she turned around and saw Fang Hao, her eyes lit up a little, and a smile appeared on her face: "You are Uncle Fang."

Fang Hao smiled slightly: "Why are you here?"

Huang Yeying said: "Auntie got lost, so I waited for her at the door."

Fang Hao smiled, but at the same time he was a little surprised. Gao Xinlan has a sister in the capital, or is it her friend?

Just when he was wondering, he saw a middle-aged woman running out of the supermarket in a hurry, looking around in a panic. When she saw Huang Yeying next to Fang Hao, she was finally relieved and ran over immediately.

The middle-aged woman ran over and scolded the little girl: "Huang Yeying, why are you so disobedient and told you to wait where you are, why did you run away!"

Huang Yeying looked very nervous facing the middle-aged woman: "I...I..."

"What about me, come back with me!" The middle-aged woman scolded with a cold face, and immediately wanted to grab Huang Yeying's hand.

Fang Hao noticed from the side that Huang Yeying's expression when facing this woman was similar to that of her father Huang Wei. He felt that there must be something else hidden.What's more, this middle-aged woman looks nothing like Gao Xinlan.

So, he immediately stopped pulling the child to his side: "Are you Yingying's aunt?"

The middle-aged woman saw Fang Hao's actions, and the little girl didn't resist, she felt a little bit in her heart: "Who are you?"

Fang Hao said: "I am Gao Xinlan's friend, I also want to ask who are you? If you don't answer, I will call Gao Xinlan to confirm now."

A smile immediately appeared on the face of the middle-aged woman: "I am the temporary nanny hired by Gao Xinlan. I specialize in taking the child to and from school, and then take care of the child's dinner. I am indeed responsible for letting the child go missing, but I was indeed shopping for vegetables just now. ,who knows……"

After Fang Hao heard this, he didn't want to listen to the rest, so he picked up his mobile phone and called Gao Xinlan.

The middle-aged woman was about to beg Fang Hao not to tell Gao Xinlan about this, when she saw Fang Hao decisively make a phone call, she was shocked, turned around and left without saying anything.

The behavior of the other party made Fang Hao feel that she had a ghost, but now he still has Huang Yeying by his side, otherwise he would definitely not be able to let the other party run away.

Of course, if the middle-aged woman is indeed Gao Xinlan's nanny, she can always find the other party to settle the score if she escapes the monk but cannot escape the temple.

Gao Xinlan answered the phone very quickly. She was actually a little embarrassed. She originally wanted to treat Fang Hao to a meal to express her gratitude after Fang Hao returned to Beijing, but she didn't expect that after she returned to Beijing, there would be some changes in her work. In addition, her daughter still needs to be taken care of. When she brought her daughter to the capital just now, she was devastated. Naturally, she had no time to treat Fang Hao to dinner.

She didn't expect that Fang Hao would call her today. Just a little strangely, she learned that Fang Hao met his daughter who was lost with the nanny, and the nanny's behavior was also very strange. This scared her enough, and immediately asked Fang Hao for help. With a child, she will come over immediately.

After talking on the phone with Gao Xinlan, Fang Hao smiled and said to Huang Yeying, "Yingying, are you hungry, what do you want to eat?"

Compared to before in Xijing, Huang Yeying seemed a little more shy. Fang Hao felt that this was not a good phenomenon, and said softly, "Tell me, what do you want to eat, uncle, I will satisfy you."

Huang Yeying pointed to the promotional page of fried chicken legs: "Can I eat this?"

"of course can."

There happened to be a fast food restaurant not far away. Fang Hao took Huang Yeying there, ordered two set meals, and found a seat to sit down: "Eat."

After Huang Yeying gnawed on the chicken leg, she was no longer restrained.

Fang Hao took the opportunity to inquire about how the bodyguards treated her, and after hearing that, he was very angry.

As we all know, nannies will abuse children, most of which are physical injuries. Some of them beat and scold the children and beat the children to bruises all over the body, and some do it very covertly. If you don't come out, this will undoubtedly bring a great burden to the child's young body.

There are also some nannies who will not physically harm the children, but will torture the children mentally. It brings a great psychological burden, and it will even leave a psychological shadow on the child after a long time, causing lifelong harm.

The bodyguard that Gao Xinlan hired was the latter. She often scolded Huang Yeying with some vicious words, and even threatened Huang Yeying not to tell Gao Xinlan about it.

Because Huang Yeying had an asshole father, she was more sensitive and inferior than other children of the same age, so when the nanny threatened her, she dared not tell Gao Xinlan at all.

What's more, what makes Fang Hao feel even more angry is that the nanny also withheld Huang Yeying's food. The meat dishes she usually cooks are either given to her or taken away by her. Only a small part can enter the little girl's stomach.

It's also fortunate that this nanny has not been working for a long time, otherwise Huang Yeying would not know how much harm she has suffered!

After the little girl finished eating fried chicken legs and hamburgers, and seeing Fang Hao again, she seemed a little more cheerful.

"Yingying, do you usually go to school near here?"

"Not here, we came here today by the underground train."

The little girl's answer solved Fang Hao's doubts, and he asked again: "Why do you come here?"

"The aunt said it was my mother who asked us to come here."

"Don't call that person aunt in the future, she doesn't deserve it!"

"Ok!"

When Fang Hao was chatting with Huang Yeying, Gao Xinlan rushed over and kept thanking Fang Hao.

Fang Hao told Gao Xinlan what he knew. Gao Xinlan was heartbroken and blamed herself, but also extremely angry. She never expected that the so-called high-quality nanny recommended by the housekeeping company had this virtue!
She felt very helpless, because the nanny only used cold violence and hurt the child with words. In this case, even calling the police could not lock her up, let alone she had no evidence.

However, she must go to the housekeeping company to discuss an explanation, this matter can't just be left alone!As for the other party not admitting their mistakes, at least the child got separated just now, which is a serious dereliction of duty.

Moreover, according to Huang Yeying's meaning, the nanny actually met an acquaintance and went to talk to them. At that time, Huang Yeying was looking at the things on the shelf, and when she turned around, the person disappeared. The child was young and didn't know the way, so she panicked He ran to the door of the supermarket and waited.

"You haven't eaten yet, why don't you order something to eat?"

"I'm not hungry yet." Gao Xinlan wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue, and the sweat wetted her makeup.

Fang Hao noticed Gao Xinlan's dark circles and asked, "How is your job now?"

"Don't mention it, a new task came. I was able to get off work early today and had to work overtime. Because I was in a hurry, I asked the manager for leave. He was not happy, and I even had a fight with him. I guess the job will be over. "

Gao Xinlan had a wry smile on her face. The salary of this job is directly proportional to her effort. She is quite satisfied. It's just that she took several days of vacation because she went to Xijing to pick up her daughter and arranged for her. The department manager was already dissatisfied. This time If she fell out directly, she might not be able to stay any longer. What would she do if the job was gone?Is it going to return to Xijing in the end?

Fang Hao's heart moved: "Ms. Gao, do you know accounting?"

Gao Xinlan said: "I have passed the accounting certificate, and my first job was also an accountant, but I haven't done it for a long time, and I'm a little rusty."

Fang Hao first asked Gao Xinlan's current salary level, and then said:

"To be honest, I opened an antique shop, and because it involves pawn business, I still need to hire another accountant. If you want, you can try it with me. Of course, the salary of this job may not be very high. You If you like, we also have a website, which needs to be updated frequently, and I can hand this over to you as well.

Adding up the two sides, the salary level will not be lower than yours now, and there will be some benefits and bonuses during the holidays.In addition, I may expand some businesses in the future, so I won’t talk about it.Do you want to think about it? "

Gao Xinlan was a little moved, and asked Fang Hao about some work matters, and found that it was much easier than the current job, and she could spend more time with her children.

However, if she agrees to Fang Hao, she will have to cross the line and need to start from the beginning again. This makes her somewhat hesitant, so she said: "Mr. Fang, let me think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

"It should." Fang Hao nodded with a smile.

After chatting for a few more words, Gao Xinlan took her daughter and left. The little girl was still a little bit reluctant to let go of Fang Hao, and turned around every step of the way.

Fang Hao waved his hand and went to the supermarket to do some shopping. If Gao Xinlan could agree, it would be great. The content of the website and official account could be handled by Gao Xinlan, freeing him to concentrate on his own affairs.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, early in the morning, Tang Mingshan took Hu Jue to Panjiayuan, hoping to complete the task assigned by Fang Hao and buy a suitable Shiwan kiln statue.

At the beginning, Tang Mingshan was full of confidence, but as time passed, he found that the task Fang Hao had given him was really not easy to complete.

First of all, fine Shiwan kiln statues from the Ming and Qing Dynasties are hard to find. Even if they are found, the price is not cheap.

Compared to Tang Mingshan who was concentrating on looking for Shiwan Kiln statues, Hu Jue had a different mentality. He took it as an opportunity to exercise his eyesight. Not to mention, he even picked up a small leak for him. He bought a piece worth 5000 yuan for [-] yuan. Left and right Guangxu famille rose bowls.

Tang Mingshan saw that he didn't gain anything, but Tang Mingshan picked up the leaks. He was somewhat depressed, but he was still unconvinced: "Hi! I can't believe I can't find it! Brother Hu, why don't we go shopping separately?"

"Okay, but remember to be careful." Hu Jue reminded.

Tang Mingshan got the reminder, and he also realized that there seemed to be some problems with his mentality. He made an OK gesture: "Understood!"

Tang Mingshan went on to visit a few more places, but still got nothing. As he was walking, a bird chirping came from beside him: "Hello handsome guy!"

When Tang Mingshan heard the voice, he turned his head and saw that it was a starling in a birdcage carried by an old man who was speaking. He thought it was interesting and said with a smile: "Old man, your starling is well-raised. "

The old man was a little self-satisfied: "It's okay, but it's just my luck. I got this bird the day after I got this birdcage."

At this time, Tang Mingshan's eyes were on the old birdcage in the old man's hand.

The top of the cage, the bird, the bird pavilion, the cage door, the bottom plate, and the bottom foot are decorated with cloisonné enamel. The whole work is complicated in craftsmanship. It was made by a master, but unfortunately it is not old.

Even if the birdcage wasn't an old item, it shouldn't be cheap. Tang Mingshan estimated that it would cost at least [-] to [-] yuan to buy it.

Tang Mingshan noticed that the mynah was lowering his head to peck at the food, and his eyes shifted to the bird food jars where the food was placed, and he suddenly felt a bright light.

I saw that the bird food jar has a closed mouth, a handle on one side of the shoulder, and a small flat bottom.The porcelain is delicate, the blue and white hair color is thick and strong, and the red color is gorgeous and dazzling.The walls of the utensil are painted with blue and white branches and leaves, and red painted peonies. The paintings are fine, and the pictures reflect each other, which is magnificent.The mouth is painted with gold color, and the bottom is decorated with two black belts. The blue and white regular script "Made in Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" is written on the neck.

This can't be real!

Tang Mingshan's eyes were almost shining, but after thinking about it, it seemed that something was wrong, wasn't it a coincidence, and it seemed a bit like the plot in "Selling a Cat in a Pot".

"Selling Cats in a Basin" tells the story of an old lady who is very scheming. In order to sell cats, she puts a precious cat food bowl. pot.The old lady finally said: "I can't take this pot, I have to rely on this pot to sell cats."

Because this story is widely circulated, some people do the opposite, use the plot in the story to deceive people, and use high imitation to lure the buyer. If the buyer is interested, they will use the low price to lure the buyer.

Tang Mingshan murmured in his heart, could he have encountered a similar situation?
