Chapter 1023: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (2)
Upon hearing this, Xue Yuan immediately became unhappy: "Dad, who gets engaged only to break off the engagement later? Stop saying such unlucky things."
Xue Yao glanced at his son with disdain, and was very disdainful of the other's selective listening ears.
But after all, I wanted to bring it to Yanzhou to raise it back then.
If his son is really interested in the girl from the Ning family, he has to secure a position first, regardless of whether he has come to his senses or not.
At this time, Ning Yun was delivering tools to his brother Ning Xiu.
"Sese, thank you so much. I was rushing to finish the work and it was at a critical moment. The temporary tools were not suitable. I was still hesitating whether to start or not, and then you came!" Ning Xiu took the wooden box from Ning Yun.
Ning Yun said with a smile, "Brother, you're too polite. It's just such a small thing, but you're still thanking me endlessly! Okay, I'll go back first. You can go back to work!"
Just as Ning Yun turned around to leave, Xiao Gencai happened to come to the workshop.
He just contacted the mid-level manager of Jiuhua Building and wanted to take on another small job.
Logically speaking, Xiao Gencai could only deliver the silver bottles and could not take other orders. However, this morning, he heard from several co-workers that there were some small jobs with good pay, so he wanted to ask if he could take one.
After all, household expenses are getting higher and higher nowadays.
But the manager had never had a good impression of Xiao Gencai. He thought his skills were poor and his delivery was slow.
These small items may seem easy to make, but in fact they require great skill. A careless person like Xiao Gencai simply cannot do them.
So, as soon as he opened his mouth, the steward rejected him and even gave him a warning: "Master Xiao, the young master agreed to let you take the job of Yinping because you are an old man.
What kind of skills do you have? You really don't know what they are? Jiuhualou is not what it was more than ten years ago. There are many people with good skills now, and I won't talk about others.
Ning Xiu, the son of Master Ning, and Xiao Tian, who he brought up, are about to catch up with you in terms of craftsmanship. The number of mid-level craftsmen is limited. If one comes up, one must go down.
If I were you, I would take this opportunity to make this silver bottle well. When I’m done, I’ll have something to show off.”
Xiao Gencai felt very embarrassed to be scolded by a manager who was younger than him, but he just nodded and agreed repeatedly.
I was holding my breath, and just as I reached the door of the workshop, I saw the Ning brothers and sisters looking harmonious.
He did not rush to go in, but waited by the door, waiting for the two juniors to greet him.
Speaking of which, this temper was also developed by Ning Yun. When she was good friends with Xiao Jianlu, she would always bow respectfully when she saw Xiao Gencai.
This time Ning Yun didn't even look at the other person, turned around and was about to leave.
"Ah Yun, why don't you say hello to Uncle Xiao?" Seeing Ning Yun ignoring him and walking out directly, Xiao Gencai finally couldn't help but call her out, "You kid, you haven't been to Uncle Xiao's house for a few days. Now you feel like a stranger and don't even greet him!"
It seemed like a joke, but it seemed like he was pointing at Ning Yun's nose and scolding her for being rude.
Ning Xiu couldn't stand his sister being bullied, so he quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Ning Yun: "Master Xiao, our two families are not related at all. Over the years, it's mostly my father who has taken care of your family. Now that my sister is old, it's not convenient for her to visit other people's families. How did it become like you said?"
"Ning Xiu! After all, I watched you grow up. When we were fleeing, my family even gave you some bread!" Xiao Gencai was embarrassed and started to bring up the past. "You should at least be polite when you speak to me."
Ning Xiu was about to say something when his younger sister Ning Yun stopped him. She poked her head out from behind him and said, "Master Xiao, I wasn't even born when we were fleeing! I didn't eat your bread, but your Xiao Jianlu was always hungry.
No matter what he sees me eating, he wants to try it, and he eats most of it in one bite. But now that I'm older, I don't want to share food with others. Is that wrong?"
The tearful look in his eyes, coupled with his pitiful expression, instantly aroused the sympathy of the other onlookers.
"Master Xiao, Miss Ning is not wrong! She's only in her teens, how can she still come to your house as often as she did when she was little?"
"That's right! You did give cakes to Master Ning back then, but these past few years, you've been riding on the Ning family's coattails. Not to mention the distant past, Master Ning Gao's workshop is almost yours. And when you shared a courtyard, your family's food wasn't good, so Master Ning often subsidized you."
Ning Yasi's apprentice Xiaotian added from behind, "You're just taking advantage of me. It's just half a cake. I've supported your family for all these years, and now I don't want to let you take advantage of me, and you're still aggrieved."
"You...you!" Xiao Gencai almost fainted from anger after being accused by everyone.
I was just thinking of making a big scene to let these people know that I am not someone to be trifled with, but unfortunately I had to hold my words back.
because
"What are you arguing about?" Wang Qichuan, the younger brother of the Jiuhua Building's owner, appeared on the second floor again and looked at Xiao Gencai who was surrounded by people. "Why are you here again?"
