Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

While speaking, the woman kept looking at Li Huaide and Li Bowen.

Although his eyes lit up when he saw Li Bowen, his gaze was still focused on Li Huaide in the end: "This is today's distinguished guest, right?"

Li Huaide is also a veteran in this field. He can tell at a glance that the woman in front of him is not simple, but she is so beautiful. Her pretty face and slim figure make people unable to help but take a few more glances.

"Director Li, this is Lu Yan, a famous beauty in our area. Not only is she pretty, she is also an excellent cook!" Wang Heyi praised.

"Look at what you said, you're praising me so much that I feel embarrassed. Come into the house quickly, the food will be ready soon!" After saying that, Lu Yan twisted her waist and went back to the kitchen.

This Wang Heyi is really a talented person. Li Bowen couldn't help but sigh. This is also a good place. There are always beautiful women. There was Chen Xiaoyun before, and now there is Lu Yan. How many people does this guy have hidden in his hands?

But this has nothing to do with Li Bowen. It’s his business if he has the ability.

After entering the house and sitting down, the meals were quickly served one by one.

Wang Heyi took two bottles of good wine, filled them up one by one, and started toasting each other.

The serious business had already been arranged, and the purpose of this banquet was to bring people closer together, so the conversations were mostly meaningless and mixed with some jokes, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.

Gradually, the two bottles of wine were almost empty, and Li Bowen's alcohol tolerance had reached its limit, so he stood up and said, "You two drink first, I'm going to the toilet!"

Walking out of the room, Li Bowen took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and put it in his lips. After lighting it, he exhaled a long string of smoke and walked towards the toilet. After he was done, he walked to the east wing, leaned against the door frame and looked at Lu Yan who was busy in the kitchen.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" It was as if Lu Yan had eyes on her back. She could feel Li Bowen's gaze even with her back to him.

"I drank too much, so I came out to get some fresh air! And by the way, see if there are any dishes!" Li Bowen replied.

"No more, there's only one soup left, it will be ready soon!"

"Is there anyone else in your family?" Li Bowen asked.

"Everyone else is gone, only my son and I are left!"

"Son? You already have a son?" Li Bowen asked in surprise.

"Haha, what's impossible? My son is already ten years old!"

Li Bowen found it even more unbelievable: "Is this true? How old were you when you got married?" This woman looked very young, but he didn't expect that she actually had a child, and she's this old now.

"16! I had my son the next year! Doesn't it feel incredible? What's the big deal? The countryside is not like the city where you have to reach a certain age to get pregnant," Lu Yan said with a smile.

"What about your man? Why isn't he here?"

"I went to the mountains to hunt and was eaten by a wolf!" Lu Yan looked a little depressed.

"I'm sorry!" Li Bowen wanted to slap himself. The other person had already said that there was no one at home, so why was he asking such a question?

Lu Yan calmed down and said, "It's nothing, I just have a bad fate. As long as I'm alive, I still have to look forward!"

"Well, that's true!" Li Bowen nodded.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yan asked, "I heard you are from a big factory in the city?"

"I guess so. We have several thousand people in our steel mill."

"Is that the one in the room the manager of your factory?"

Li Bowen smiled and replied: "Well, he's higher in rank than me anyway!"

"Can he help me find a job?"

"Of course, why do you want to find a job in the city?"

"Who would want to stay in the countryside when they can go to the city?" Lu Yan nodded in response.

Li Bowen thought for a moment. It was obvious that Lu Yan came here for work. He could make use of her. If Li Huaide was willing to find her a job, then he could also help find Chen Xiaoyun's job.

So he said, "Although our director has work quotas, he doesn't give them out casually. If you don't have the right connections, there's probably no hope. Right now, there's a long queue of people waiting to be assigned a job in the city!"

"Yes, I know that, thank you!"

"You're welcome! Is the soup ready? I'll bring it in when it's ready. You can come in and have a few drinks too!"

Lu Yan served the soup: "Okay, you take it, I'll be in right away!"

Li Bowen walked over and picked up the soup, then returned to the main room. Not long after, Lu Yan came in through the curtain. It was obvious at a glance that she had washed up again, and her hair at the temples was still wet.

After she entered the room, she walked straight to Li Huaide, sat down, picked up the wine and poured herself a glass, then raised it to Li Huaide and said, "I don't know if the food I made today suits your taste. Please forgive me if there are any shortcomings!"

"Okay, that's good enough, thank you!" Li Huaide clinked glasses with Lu Yan with a smile on his face.

More than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Li Huaide and Wang Heyi's drinking capacity was really amazing. There were three bottles of wine for four people, but Li Bowen and Lu Yan together drank less than one bottle. The rest was drunk by the two of them. They were still energetic.

But they couldn't continue, so Li Bowen suggested, "Director, we have to go back tomorrow to prepare supplies, so why don't we stop here today?"

"Okay, let's stop here. Director Wang, I'm really happy today. Thank you for your hospitality!" Li Huaide stood up and shook Wang Heyi's hand and said.

Maybe she stood up too quickly and her steps were a little unsteady. Lu Yan, who was beside her, quickly reached out to support her. After that, she did not withdraw her hand and kept holding Li Huaide's arm.

Wang Heyi also patted Li Huaide's hand and said, "Yes, Director Li, your personality is very compatible with mine. It really feels like we met too late. You must come to visit me often in the future!"

"Of course, of course. We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future!"

"Okay, then you should go to bed early. The guest room is in the next room. We'll leave first!"

Li Huaide turned around and glanced at Li Bowen: "Bowen, I live here, where do you live?"

"Don't worry about me. I have a place to stay. I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning!" Li Bowen answered and winked at Li Huaide.

"Oh, okay, then come and pick me up at nine o'clock in the morning and we'll go back to the city." Li Huaide quickly understood the meaning.

Lu Yan sent the two men out of the yard, and waited until they drove away before she closed the door, bolted it, and returned to the house.

Li Bowen first sent Wang Heyi to where he was going, and then drove back to Chen Xiaoyun.

Chen Xiaoyun knew that Li Bowen was back. When he came back today, Li Bowen deliberately honked twice when passing by the door of his house, so she kept the door open for him. Seeing that Li Bowen had drunk again, she stepped forward to support him and complained, "Why are you drinking again? You don't know how to take care of your body at all!"

"I have no choice. I came here with our director today, so I had to drink. But I didn't drink much! Don't close the door yet. I brought two bags of rice today. Move them in first!" Li Bowen walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, picked up the rice that had been prepared in advance and carried it into the house.

After they sat down in the house, Chen Xiaoyun hurried to prepare hot water for him to wash. Li Bowen asked, "I want to ask you something. Do you know Lu Yan?"

Chen Xiaoyun paused, then looked up at Li Bowen: "I know, why are you asking about her?"
