"Oh?" Master Song raised his eyebrows with interest.
Xia Ruofei added, "It was made by Mr. Li himself."
"Really? Brother Fu, you still make tea at your age. Can your body take it? "Master Song asked with concern.
Li Zhifu said, "The tea prepared by Xiao Xia is of good quality. I'm itching to try it. Xiao Song, this tea is pretty good. At least it's not worse than the special tea leaves you have every year! "
"Really? Then I'll really have to try it! " Master Song's interest was immediately piqued when he heard Li Zhifu's words. He smiled and said, "Xiao Xia, thank you. You're so thoughtful …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's just a few ounces of tea leaves. You're welcome, chief."
After that, Xia Ruofei stood up and said, "Chief, I've brought him here safely. I'll take my leave first!"
It was already night time. Master Song naturally couldn't stay any longer. He stood up and personally walked Xia Ruofei to the door of the reception room.
Master Song originally wanted to walk him downstairs, but Xia Ruofei said that he didn't deserve it. He asked Master Song to stay.
Master Song stood at the door of the reception room and thought for a while. He then called Xia Ruofei back.
Then, he called Director Lu over and whispered a few words. Director Lu immediately nodded and walked away quickly.
Soon, Director Lu came back with a black plastic bag in his hand.
Master Song took the plastic bag and handed it directly to Xia Ruofei. He smiled and said, "Xiao Xia, I remember you're a smoker. Take these two cigarettes and smoke …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Is this … appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it? You gave me tea and I gave you cigarettes. It's reciprocity! "Master Song said with a smile.
"Then …" Xia Ruofei said, "I'll accept it! Thank you, Chief! "
"Drive slowly. Come and play chess with me when you're free!" Master Song said with a kind smile.
"Alright!"
At this moment, Ye Linyun hesitated and said to Li Zhifu, "Master, I... I haven't been back to the farm in a long time. I want to go back with Brother Xia."
Li Zhifu nodded and said, "Go! I'm staying with Little Song, so you don't have to worry. "
Ye Linyun was overjoyed. "Thank you, Master!"
He really missed his brothers in the farm. He also knew that the company's security department had recruited a new batch of security guards. They were all his brothers from the old army, so he was eager to return home.
Xia Ruofei and Ye Linyun bid farewell to Master Song and Li Zhifu. Director Lu personally walked them downstairs and watched them drive away.
When Director Lu returned to the reception room, Master Song had already opened a box of tea leaves that Xia Ruofei had given him. Li Zhifu was using a teaspoon to scoop tea leaves from the box.
"Xiao Lu, come, come, come. Let's try the tea that Little Xia brought!" Master Song said with a smile.
Director Lu was Master Song's old subordinate for many years. He was basically like family to Master Song. All these years, Master Song's children were all officials in various places. On the other hand, Director Lu had been by his side for many years. Naturally, their relationship was closer.
Director Lu smiled and said, "Thank you, Chief!"
Director Lu sat on the sofa on the side. He didn't make the tea. Although he usually did all the service work himself, he was still very self-aware. In terms of tea art, he was eight streets behind Li Zhifu!
Li Zhifu's movements were skillful and didn't seem to have a trace of smoke.
Soon, the room was filled with the fragrance of tea. Master Song and Director Lu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
At Master Song's position, what kind of good tea had he not drunk?
Even for the mother tree, Da Hong Pao, Master Song would be given two taels of tea every year.
However, Master Song had drunk tea for so many years. This was the first time he had smelled such an intoxicating tea fragrance.
Washing the tea, brewing, smelling the fragrance …
Soon, the first brew was poured into the tea cup. Li Zhifu smiled and said, "Little Song, do you want to try it?"
"Try it!" Master Song said with a smile.
The three of them picked up their teacups and took a shallow sip. Then, they closed their eyes and slowly savored the aftertaste. Their mouths were immediately surrounded by the clear and distant tea fragrance, and the natural charm was even more impossible to get rid of.
After a long time, Master Song sighed and said, "Good tea! Really good tea! "
Director Lu couldn't help but exclaim, "Chief, this tea is amazing! Mr. Li is old but vigorous. His craftsmanship hasn't deteriorated at all! "
Li Zhifu smiled and said, "My craftsmanship only accounts for three points at most. The remaining seven points are all because of the tea that Xiao Xia gave me."
Master Song and Director Lu both looked surprised.
Master Song knew that Li Zhifu never exaggerated. For him to give such a high evaluation, it meant that the tea that Xia Ruofei provided was indeed worthy of such an evaluation.
Director Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Xia is really … magical! Ever since I've known him, I've seen him create miracles countless times. It seems like there's nothing he can't do … "
Master Song said with a smile, "Xiao Xia isn't a fish in a pond. Xiao Lu! If you don't believe me, we can wait and see. He will definitely use miracle after miracle to refresh our understanding. "
Director Lu nodded in agreement. He really didn't agree with Master Song, but he agreed with this point of view from the bottom of his heart.
Master Song sighed again and said, "This Xiao Xia! He suddenly gave me some tea leaves. If it's this kind of top-grade tea, how will I taste when I drink other tea leaves in the future? What's even more infuriating is that this kid actually gave me two taels! Isn't he too stingy? "
Li Zhifu said with a smile, "Xiao Song, be content! This kind of tea isn't easy to get. The tea that this kid brought to Wuyi Mountain yesterday was only about a catty. He probably only has about half a catty in his hands now … "
Master Song laughed and said, "If it were someone else, they might not be able to get more tea, but Xiao Xia definitely can! Xiao Lu, give that kid a call tomorrow and tell him to give me more next time. If it's less than half a catty, I won't let him in! "
Director Lu's eyes flashed with a strange light. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Chief …"
An official at Director Lu's level naturally wouldn't just look at the surface when looking at problems.
Although Master Song's words sounded a little unreasonable, and half a catty of this kind of tea could be worth one or two million yuan, these weren't the main points.
Huaxia was so big, and there were countless people rushing to give Master Song gifts. When had Master Song ever received gifts from others? Xia Ruofei was definitely an exception.
Master Song's tone clearly didn't treat Xia Ruofei as an outsider at all. Director Lu even felt that Master Song wouldn't even have such a close attitude towards his own nephew.
…
Xia Ruofei didn't know that his weight in Director Lu's heart had increased by a lot. He was driving down the mountain.
After the car drove around a bend in the mountain road, the two of them let out a slight sigh of relief at the same time.
Xia Ruofei and Ye Linyun were both from the special forces. Xia Ruofei even served in the famous Lone Wolf Commando Team. The two of them were exceptionally sensitive to their surroundings.
After turning that bend, the two of them felt their bodies relax. It was obvious that they had left Master Song's security team's range of surveillance.
Ye Linyun, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, also relaxed a lot. He curiously opened the black plastic bag and said, "Brother Xia, let me see what good cigarettes Master Song gave you!"
Xia Ruofei just chuckled as he drove, ignoring Ye Linyun.
"Huh? Why is there nothing here? "Ye Linyun cried out in surprise." White packaging? What kind of cigarettes are these? "
Xia Ruofei turned his head and glanced. He saw that the two packs of cigarettes in Ye Linyun's hands were both white packaging. There were no logos or pictures on them.
"Why don't you open it up and see?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Then I'll open it up!" Ye Linyun said.
"Open, open, open!" Xia Ruofei said. "Aren't cigarettes for smoking? Why don't you open it up? "
Therefore, Ye Linyun quickly tore open the packaging.
"Hey! It's also white inside! "Ye Linyun made a fuss.
He took out all the cigarette packs inside. All ten packs of cigarettes were white packaging. There were also no logos or pictures.
"Open it up and see!" Xia Ruofei said.
Ye Linyun immediately tore open a pack of cigarettes and took one out. He turned on the lights in the front row and looked at it over and over. He said, "Brother Xia, there's no logo on the cigarette. Did the chief give you unbranded products?"
Xia Ruofei rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think that's possible?"
Ye Linyun smiled and said, "This … seems … a bit … unreasonable …"
"Nonsense!"
At this time, Xia Ruofei thought of a rumor. His heart suddenly moved.
At this time, the car had arrived at the foot of the mountain. The intersection was the highway around the city. Xia Ruofei drove the car to the side of the road and stopped. He turned on the double flashing lights.
"What's wrong, Brother Xia?"
Xia Ruofei said to Ye Linyun, "Linyun, give me the opened pack of cigarettes."
Ye Linyun obeyed and handed the pack of cigarettes to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei took the pack of cigarettes. He took out all the cigarettes and put them aside. Then, he carefully took out the foil inside.
Xia Ruofei took the empty pack of cigarettes and shone it under the light. Sure enough, he found that there seemed to be a picture inside the pack.
Ye Linyun also came over to take a look. He muttered, "Brother Xia, what is this?"
Xia Ruofei directly opened the soft pack of cigarettes and spread it out.
The lights in the car were very bright. Ye Linyun could tell at a glance, "Isn't this a panda cigarette?"
The inside of the pack of cigarettes was a picture of two pandas. It included the cigarette factory, the tar content, the quit smoking slogan, and so on.
In fact, it was the outer packaging of panda cigarettes that could be seen on the market. It was just that it was packaged in reverse. So, what was seen from the outside was actually white.
"Brother Xia, why is this pack of cigarettes packaged in reverse?" Ye Linyun asked.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I just guessed it. This is a special supply of cigarettes for a certain level of national leader. I heard that special supply cigarettes were packaged in the reverse side of ordinary cigarette packs. I didn't expect to see it today!"
Ye Linyun's eyes lit up, "This is the legendary special supply cigarette?"
"Most likely …" Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Come, come, come, smoke one, smoke one …"
After that, Xia Ruofei grabbed two cigarettes and threw one of them to Ye Linyun. Then, he put one in his mouth. With a click, he opened the lighter and lit the cigarette.
The two of them took a deep breath at the same time. They felt that it was really different from ordinary cigarettes. It was slightly light, but the fragrance was mellow.
"Good smoke …" Ye Linyun praised.
Then, he looked at the remaining eighteen cigarettes and laughed, "Brother Xia, you opened the pack of cigarettes, so these cigarettes …"
"You take it and smoke!" Xia Ruofei said casually, "Do you have something to put it in?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ye Linyun quickly said, "I just finished smoking this pack of cigarettes. There's only one left!"
"Then you take it and smoke!" Xia Ruofei said.
"Thank you, Brother Xia!" Ye Linyun said excitedly.
He immediately took out the almost empty pack of cigarettes and carefully put the remaining cigarettes into it one by one.
Xia Ruofei found it funny and said, "If you like it, take a few more boxes! This cigarette is a bit light, I'm not used to smoking it … "
Ye Linyun quickly said, "No need, no need. This is enough. These cigarettes were given to you by the chief. I don't dare to ask for more!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and started the car again. He said, "Okay then! Ask me for more when you're done smoking! We're brothers, you don't have to be so polite … "
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Xia! "Ye Linyun grinned and carefully put the pack of cigarettes in his arms.
After returning to the farm, Ye Linyun met with his comrades and was naturally excited.
The staff cafeteria was already closed. Xia Ruofei asked Lei Hu to send someone to town to buy some braised food and other dishes. Then, he contributed a few bottles of Zui Ba Xian wine and had a little supper with everyone before returning to the villa.
Ye Linyun directly stayed in the staff dormitory.
The next day, after Xia Ruofei had breakfast in the staff cafeteria, he drove to the city.
He brought two small boxes of top-grade Da Hong Pao with him and gave them to Ling Xiaotian and Professor Tian respectively.
With only twelve tea trees, the yield would be very low. Xia Ruofei didn't expect to sell the tea leaves for money. He originally wanted to give it to some elders and friends. It was perfect as a gift.
After giving it to them, Xia Ruofei only had about four ounces left. He didn't want to give the tea leaves away, so he kept them for himself.
After giving the gifts, Xia Ruofei drove back to Taoyuan Farm.
He went directly to the complex building. After leaving the farm for two days, the staff all knew that he was back. Even if he was just pretending, he still had to walk around the office.
Walking to the door of his office, Xia Ruofei found that the door was open. He couldn't help but be stunned. He glanced inside and saw Song Rui sitting on the guest sofa, holding a cup of steaming tea and drinking it happily.
"Hey!" Xia Ruofei shouted, "Why did you come here without saying anything? You scared me. I thought there was a thief in the office! "
"You're the thief!" Song Rui said, "You're the boss, aren't you? What time is it that you came to work? "
Xia Ruofei walked to Song Rui with a smile and sat down next to him. He said, "Isn't that nonsense? I'm the boss. I'm the boss in the company! Of course, I can come whenever I want! "
Then Xia Ruofei asked again, "Aren't you addicted to being a good boy? How come you suddenly have time to come here? "
"Of course, I have something to talk to you about!" Song Rui said.
Xia Ruofei took out a pack of cigarettes and threw one to Song Rui. Then, he took one out and put it in his mouth. He lit it and took a puff before saying, "Say it! What's the matter? Let's make it clear first! I'm not going to drink with girls … "
Then, Xia Ruofei saw that Song Rui's eyes were fixed on the pack of cigarettes that he had casually thrown on the coffee table. The box was pure white, without any logo or picture.
This was the pack that Master Song had given to Xia Ruofei yesterday. He casually took a pack with him.
"This … Where did this cigarette come from?" Song Rui asked in surprise.
Xia Ruofei said casually, "Yesterday, I went to Guling Courtyard. Your Master Song gave me two …"
"How many? Say it again! "Song Rui's eyes widened." Two … two? "
