Chapter 986 1086. Help
"Uncle Shan, Aunt Li?" Nie Wei was a little surprised to see the two people standing outside the door.
The uncle Shan in Nie Wei's mouth was Shan Zhang, the vice president of the Bauhinia Museum, and Aunt Li was Li Yu, Shan Zhang's wife, a colleague of Nie Wei's mother Su Qing, and an expert in the Bauhinia Museum, mainly responsible for the identification and restoration of cultural relics such as treasure inlay.
Nie Wei was not unfamiliar with these two people. When he was a child, because Nie Wei's father died early, only his mother took him with him. So for a period of time, Nie Wei followed Su Qing to Bauhinia City. Su Qing worked inside, and Nie Wei played outside.
At that time, Shan Zhang and Li Yu also helped Su Qing take care of Nie Wei.
But Nie Wei remembered that the place where these two people lived was a certain distance from here, not to mention that it was already past eight o'clock, and it was indeed a bit unusual to visit at this time.
When the two saw Nie Wei, they showed obvious joy.
"Nie Wei is back too. Your mom always said she missed you when she was in class. You too, no matter how busy you are at work, we are in the same city after all, so you should go home often." Shan Zhang said with a smile, but he was patted by his wife Li Yu as soon as he finished speaking.
"I'm here to visit. How can I scold someone's child as soon as I meet him? Don't mind, Xiao Wei." Li Yu said to Nie Wei with an apologetic look.
"Auntie, Uncle Shan is right. This is indeed my fault."
"What's there to mind? I watched this child grow up. When he was little, he followed me around and begged me to beat the sweet fruits from the plum trees in the palace for him to eat. I couldn't say a word to him."
"You are capable. Look at how capable you are."
"Uncle and aunt, don't stand at the door. Come in." Nie Wei saw that the two were about to quarrel again, so he quickly invited them in.
Su Qing was also surprised to see that the people coming were Shan Zhang and Li Yu.
"Old Shan, why are you two here when you're not at home for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Su Qing asked as she asked them to sit down.
"We are the only two old people at home, but it's quiet, so I thought of joining you to have some fun." Shan Zhang replied with a smile, and Li Yu nodded beside him.
"That's great, I was originally regretful that there are only three of us at home today, and we can't even set up a mahjong table. It's just right that you're here, let Xiao Wei serve us tea and water, and the four of us will chat for a while." Zhou Aiguo was also happy when he heard it, and expressed great welcome, and even thought of the next activities in an instant.
"Okay, but I can't bet money. I'm not like you, the big boss, who is happy when he wins and doesn't feel bad when he loses. I only get so little salary a month, and I can't afford to lose."
"It's boring to play without some stakes. We're kids, and winning or losing is just a few dollars. Is that okay?"
"No, no, no, with that few dollars, I might as well buy some candy for my grandson." Shan Zhang continued to shake his head, and refused to agree to Zhou Aiguo.
"Then you tell me how to play. Anyway, you have to bet on something. Otherwise, what's the point of playing mahjong?" Zhou Aiguo saw that Shan Zhang refused to give in and just didn't want to play for money, so he simply pushed the stakes to him.
Nie Wei, who was standing aside, wanted to laugh when he saw this. He knew very well that Shan Zhang didn't want to play for money, and it was definitely not because he was afraid of losing.
You should know that the Bauhinia Museum, as a national cultural relic center, also has top-notch treatment for its internal employees. As long as they are formal employees, their salaries are basically between 8,000 and 12,000. Cultural relic experts like his mother have even higher salaries. Nie Wei knows that his mother Su Qing can still have more than 30,000 left after deducting personal income tax from her monthly salary.
As the vice president of the Bauhinia Museum, Shandan's salary must be higher than his mother's, given his years of work, title and status.
Adding Li Yu's salary, the couple can earn at least six figures a month just from their salary.
Moreover, salary is only a small part of their income. Their real big income is to help the rich, auction houses and the like identify antiques and calligraphy.
With their qualifications in the antique business, the appearance fee is naturally not cheap, and issuing an appraisal report is another income. In addition, occasionally participating in some treasure appraisal programs is also an additional income.
Especially with the recent antique craze, they can take on a lot of side jobs, so the annual income of the two of them is not tens of millions, but four or five million is always more than enough.
"Just count the points." Shan Zhang suggested. Seeing Zhou Aiguo's dissatisfied look, he quickly added: "Whoever gets the highest score in the end will agree to one thing. Don't you always want me to help you see which of your calligraphy and paintings are real and which are fake? Tonight you beat me, and I will help you see all your calligraphy and paintings."
"Really?" Zhou Aiguo's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he quickly confirmed.
"Really!" Shan Zhang promised.
"Then Uncle Shan, you have lost a lot. Now please come out to see the calligraphy and paintings. You don't give this number for one time." Nie Wei stretched out his palm, opened his five fingers, thought about it and added another finger.
"No way, no way." Shan Zhang waved his hand quickly and didn't admit it.
Nie Wei stopped teasing Shan Zhang, but he always felt that this Uncle Shan came here for a purpose today. Of course, Nie Wei didn't think Shan Zhang would have any bad intentions against their family, so he didn't think too much, just waiting for him to expose himself.
While Su Qing and Li Yu were preparing the fruit plate, Nie Wei had already set up the mahjong table for Shan Zhang and Zhou Aiguo, and even prepared the mahjong.
After Nie Wei was busy setting up the mahjong for Shan Zhang and Zhou Aiguo, he quickly ran to the kitchen to serve the fruit to Su Qing and Li Yu.
He was busy until the four people started shuffling, and he was free. However, Nie Wei did not go back to the house to rest or do other things. Instead, he went to Su Qing's side and watched the four people. Play majiang.
After two rounds, Nie Wei suddenly looked like something was wrong.
Although he has never played mahjong with Shan Zhang and Li Yu, he is familiar with the mahjong level of Su Qing and Zhou Aiguo. Although they are not masters, they can be considered experienced players. If luck is excluded, at the end of the game , at least about which card they can play, they are probably a little familiar with each other.
But today Zhou Aiguo's performance was normal, but Su Qing's performance was too abnormal. Several times in a row, it was like giving cards to Shan Zhang or Li Yu.
All in all, he played very confusedly, as if he didn't remember the cards at all.
"Mom, don't fight this, you fight this." There was one game where Nie Wei really couldn't stand it any longer and whispered instructions. Who would have thought that Su Qing actually rolled her eyes at him? Shan Zhang on the side also spoke quickly, asking Nie Wei to Just be a true gentleman who watches the cards without saying a word.
Nie Wei was speechless. He finally saw that his mother had obviously lost to Shan Zhang on purpose.
I just don't know what the trick was, but Nie Wei had a feeling that these people seemed to be targeting him when they came together to play this game.
After several rounds of mahjong, more than two hours passed without realizing it. It was already past ten o'clock, and the two families were finally ready to close the stall.
The final statistical results were no surprise. Although Zhou Aiguo worked hard to win throughout the whole process, his teammates were helpless. With Su Qing's help, Shan Zhang became the final winner among the four without any pressure.
"Alas." At the end of the last sentence, Zhou Aiguo stepped back from the mahjong in front of him, sighed helplessly, and asked Xiang Shanzhang: "Old Dan, what do you want, tell me now, and save me from being unable to sleep for a while. ”
Shan Zhang was not polite and said directly to Su Qing: "Old Su, I really have something to trouble you."
As he said that, Shan Zhang looked at Nie Wei, and Nie Wei said, "Sure enough."
"It's not difficult. Is the Forbidden City going to make a new promotional documentary? I was just wondering if I could ask this guy of yours to help me?"
"This matter, this is difficult to handle. I will definitely agree to whatever you ask me for, but Xiao Wei..." Su Qing looked at Nie Wei with a surprised and embarrassed expression, but in Nie Wei's eyes, it looked a little deliberate Sorry, my mother's acting skills are obviously not up to par.
"Mom, why are you helping Uncle Shan plot against me?" Nie Wei looked at Su Qing with an aggrieved look.
Su Qing was surprised, and then immediately blushed. She was really surprised that Nie Wei could see through their plan so quickly. She was also a little embarrassed at the thought of helping her colleague 'calculate' her son.
But there was nothing she could do. It was the place where she had worked for thirty years, especially since she was about to retire. She also wanted to help her workplace as much as she could, so she agreed to the order. Zhang helped make such a game.
"Xiao Wei, actually this matter was something your Uncle Shan came up with on the spur of the moment during a meeting. The documentary you shot was the most satisfactory to everyone in our unit, so I thought that you would also shoot this documentary, but I I also know that you are busy, so if you really don’t have time, forget it, we can understand.”
"That's right, Xiao Wei, if you have time to help with this, our Bauhinia Museum will definitely be grateful. It doesn't matter if you don't have time. It was just an unexpected request from me." Shan Zhang also said with a smile.
Neither of them pushed themselves, but Nie Wei felt like she didn't refuse.
Things like the emotional card are really a conspiracy. People know clearly that they are being tricked, but they still can't avoid it. Moreover, neither mother nor Shan Zhang has any malicious intentions. Nie Wei can also hear that they don't want to It's embarrassing for me, but seeing the expectation in the eyes of my mother and Uncle Shan, can I say no?
"Uncle Shan, it's not that I don't want to promise you. I have indeed had a not-so-busy period recently, but you know that documentaries can't be shot in ten days and a half, especially in Bauhinia City... "
"Well, let me think about it. I can try to make a plan first, and then we'll see how to shoot it." Nie Wei thought for a while and said.
Shan Zhang had a look of joy on his face. He originally thought the matter was going to blow up after hearing Nie Wei's initial words, but he didn't expect it to take a completely different turn when Nie Wei changed the subject.
Although Nie Wei didn't agree directly, he was still willing to help. This was a good start.
Besides, the guest role becomes a supporting role, and the supporting role becomes the protagonist. As the work progresses, maybe Nie Wei will help more and more, and maybe he will finally solve this matter alone.
With a relatively satisfactory result, Shan Zhang and Li Yu said goodbye.
After helping Zhou Aiguo and Su Qing clean up the yard, Nie Wei returned to his cabin and turned on the computer to see what hot news there was.
Just as Nie Wei watched for a while, the small door of his room was pushed open.
Su Qing came in with a porcelain bowl and placed it in front of Nie Wei's table. Nie Wei looked inside and saw two sugar-watered eggs in the porcelain bowl.
Nie Weixiao rolled his eyes, picked up the porcelain bowl, and took a bite immediately.
Normally when people make sugar-water eggs, they put either white sugar or honey in warm water, but Su Qing is different. The sugar-water eggs she makes always contain brown sugar. According to Su Qing, brown sugar is better for the body.
Nie Wei had been accustomed to Su Qing's sugar-watered eggs since he was a snack, but he couldn't get used to the usual ones.
"Delicious." In a few seconds, Nie Wei ate a sugar-water egg. The way he wolfed it down made Su Qing smile.
Nie Wei ate one in a hurry, but he was not in a hurry to eat the remaining one. He took a sip of brown sugar water and a bite of the egg. He hesitated for a long time before eating the last egg. He drank all the brown sugar water in the bowl without leaving a drop.
"Xiao Wei, don't blame your mother for bothering you today. I only know such a great director like you." Su Qing explained to Nie Wei while cleaning up the dishes after watching Nie Wei finish eating.
"As a member of the Bauhinia Museum, I naturally hope to use the best director to shoot this documentary. After all, the cultural relics in Bauhinia City that witnessed the glory and decline of those dynasties, and even every brick and tile of Bauhinia City, I hope to shoot them well, so that people all over the world can see the best Bauhinia City."
"That's why mom wants you to help, because you are the most powerful in the world in mom's eyes, can you understand?"
"Don't worry, mom." Nie Wei didn't expect Su Qing to come and explain to him. The more this happened, the more Nie Wei could see Su Qing's attention to this documentary and her feelings for Bauhinia City.
At this moment, Nie Wei also felt that he couldn't be perfunctory. Even if he couldn't shoot this documentary himself, he had to at least make the best plan for this documentary.
After Su Qing left Nie Wei's room with the porcelain bowl, Nie Wei was no longer in the mood to watch the news. After closing the webpage, he opened the document directly.
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was not too busy recently and try to write a documentary plan about Bauhinia City as soon as possible.
Since Nie Wei agreed to Shan Zhang that night, Shan Zhang has kept this matter in mind, but there has been no news for three consecutive days. Shan Zhang is a little anxious, wondering if Nie Wei has forgotten about it.
Just when he was hesitating whether to get information from Su Qing, Nie Wei's text message came, and brought him good news. Nie Wei has already had an idea of the preliminary planning of the documentary.
Upon hearing this news, Shan Zhang immediately notified the unit and decided to hold a meeting immediately, inviting Nie Wei to come and talk to everyone.
