042 The master from the north, deliberately looking for faults?
Heavy rainstorms hit the city, and dark clouds hit the city.
Tang Wan went back to the house to take a shower. When she came out, her phone was on. The meteorological department issued several consecutive warnings of heavy rain. She put Jiang Jin's coat on one side and dried it, so she took an umbrella to the front hall. It was time to prepare supper.
"Where is grandpa?" Tang Wan looked at Chen Ma.
"I've got an old problem and went back to sleep. I said I don't need to call him when I have supper."
Tang Wan frowned, poured a cup of hot tea and knocked on the old man's door.
"Come in." Through the door, Old Tang's voice was dull.
After pushing the door and entering, the old man leaned against the head of the bed. He had rheumatism, his legs and knees were sore and weak, and his whole body seemed to have been drained. The corners of his mouth were still white. There were classic anti-Japanese war movies on the TV opposite the bed.
"Have you taken the medicine?" Tang Wan sat down beside the bed.
"It's useless to eat."
"I'll rub it for you a few times, it might be more comfortable."
"No, it's an old problem, I can't make it..."
Without waiting for him to refuse, Tang Wan pressed her hands on his knees. This massage could not relieve the pain, but was more psychological comfort.
"The legs hurt so much. I don't know if I come back early to rest. I'm so old. You don't have to wait for me to come back. If you feel uncomfortable, go back to the house and lie down."
"Who said I was waiting for you? I forgot the time when playing chess with Xiaowu." The old man said stubbornly, "Wanwan, what do you think of Xiaowu..."
Tang Wan chuckled, "Do you have any ideas?"
"You have no idea about others, why are you running to his room in the middle of the night?"
"Is there any serious business?"
"What kind of serious things can't be done during the day? I have to go deeper into the middle of the night. I tell you, if you go back a few decades, you two will be just a hooligan."
Tang Wan paused her finger, "You're thinking too much..."
"Actually, I don't want to force you to marry anyone. I just want to see you get married in my lifetime. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have any joy in the second half of my life."
He said and picked up a photo of the nightstand, "Old woman, I will break my promise to you after all. I'm afraid I can't witness Wanwan getting married."
"Even such a good child is not favored. I don't understand what these little girls want to marry now?"
...
Tang Wan had a headache and talked with him for a long time.
The rain continued, and the old man's legs hurt all night. In the early morning of the next day, he fell asleep because he was too tired.

Tang Wan sat in the study, looking at the dot-stained materials purchased the day before, thinking for more than an hour, but still called Manager Chen with a tough bullet.
"Uncle Chen." Manager Chen's children are all in high school, so it's not too much to call him Uncle.
"What's wrong?"
"Can you tell the other party about that cooperation and push it back?"
"The old man is in poor health?"
"I am not at ease when I am good or bad at work and I can't concentrate. It's best to postpone it until the beginning of next spring. If the other party disagrees, I may not be able to take on this project."
"I know, I haven't signed the contract yet, so I'll talk to them again."
"It's trouble."
...
Beijing
The towering building, the assistant in a capable suit, knocked on the office door with a stack of documents.
"Come in." The man's voice deliberately lowered his voice.
The assistant pushed the door and put the documents that needed to be processed before he spoke up. "Manager Chen, who just made the Diancui headdress, called and said he wanted to push back the cooperation time."
"Details of time?" His voice was still normal.
"Next year starts spring."
His face turned black in an instant, "Reason?"
"It is said that someone in the family of the master who is responsible for the production is in poor health and needs time to take care of him."
He sneered.
The most common reason for employees to ask for leave is that they have a cold or fever, they have to go to see a doctor, or that their aunts and aunts at home feel uncomfortable, and even more so, they have developed into a cat and a dog who feels uncomfortable and want to take a day off.
The most exaggerated thing is that last time a special assistant went on a business trip, saying that he would come back one day late, but the reason was:
[I can't get back when the plane is stuck in traffic.]
Aircraft...traffic jam?
Is this teasing him?
Some female employees often have stomachache for their leave. It is understandable that there are always inconvenient days every month, but...
It's a bit too much if it's three or four times a month.
What else is there to [when your hair is too oily, you are afraid of affecting the company's image, so you go home to wash your hair].
How many hairs do you have, don’t you know?
...
He put down the work at hand, looked up at his assistant, "Did I have a very fooling face? I've been hanging us for so long, and finally signed the contract with me, and said I'd like to postpone it?"
"Where did they get the courage to bargain with us?"
“The conditions we gave were not good enough?”
The assistant pursed his lips, "They didn't seem to care, and... we tried our best to promote this cooperation. From the beginning, we were passive and lost the initiative."
He took a deep breath, "Where is their studio?"
"Pingjiang."
"Prepare me the air ticket."
"You are..."
"As a partner, someone at home is sick, so I'll have any problems going to visit?" He took it for granted.
The assistant nodded, afraid that it was not for visiting the disease, but for deliberately looking for trouble.
"There has been heavy rain in Pingjiang recently and all flights have been cancelled."
"Then drive over!"
...
When the car drove out of the toll station in Beijing, someone regretted it. He wanted to drive the car at night and arrive in Pingjiang early the next morning. In this way, the back and forth would not delay the serious business.
However, it was raining at night, and some parts of the expressway were closed, causing him to slept at the toll station overnight with his assistant in the middle of the night.
The next morning, my eyes were covered with red bloodshots and my chin was covered with stubble.
After he found a hotel to wash and rest, he asked his assistant to call Manager Chen. Manager Chen was so scared that he was trembling. Why did this man come?
This is a difficult person to mess with.
Manager Chen immediately called Tang Wan, and Tang Wan was also stunned. She just refused yesterday, but today she rushed to Pingjiang and said she was here to visit her. This was obviously an unintentional intention, and she was afraid she was here to find trouble.
**
In the hotel
The man was changing his clothes, raising his hand and straightening his tie, dressing in an extremely formal and decent manner. He was not here to visit the disease, but he was clearly here to find fault. First of all, he could not lose in his momentum, and he would shock them if he appeared.
"The Fifth Master is also in Pingjiang. Let's notify him?"
"I'll talk about it later, let's give him a surprise when I look back."
surprise?
The assistant was shocked: I am afraid that the fifth master will not even be able to enter the door!
