Chapter 2201 A few jokes about face
During supper, the atmosphere always looks a bit awkward!
Zhu Guoxu also specially opened a bottle of red wine.
But everyone was eating vegetables silently and drinking wine silently.
No one spoke first.
Even Anne was the case.
"Teach Ho and her son went to England to settle."
As the hostess here, Shi Ruoya finally couldn't help but say, "When I left that day, I specially invited a few of us to have a meal, and I don't know when I will see her again."
"Teacher He is your good friend." Zhu Guoxu also felt that the atmosphere was a little deserted: "If you really miss her, just buy a plane ticket and fly over?"
"But it's not as convenient here after all." Shi Ruoya felt very sorry: "You said you live well in our country, why do you have to settle abroad? What's the best thing about people who are not familiar with the place? Annie, Jin Yan, you can't live abroad in the future."
"Mom." Annie said with a smile: "It's actually nothing wrong with living abroad. Let me tell you, I'm now a female grandfather from a small African country."
"Is it true or false?" Zhu Guoxu and Shi Ruoya said at the same time.
I have never heard my daughter talk about this.
"Really." Anne proudly raised her chest: "I am the female granddaughter of Katerina from Maurix Lani Free Country. And Brother Huanxi, he is, he is also the Duke."
She did not say that Lei Huanxi was actually His Majesty the King of Maurix Lani Free Country.
After all, once it is said, it is a bit shocking.
"Mauri? What country is Maori?" Shi Ruoya couldn't call out the name at all: "Forget it, no matter what country it is, how did you become the duke there?"
"Luck, luck." Lei Huanxi said in a particularly humble manner: "It was a small African country next to Nigeria. It was so small that it could not be found on the map. To be honest, Anne and I were completely lucky. In fact, how could we take it seriously ourselves."
"But he is a duke after all." Shi Ruoya sounded very envious: "Guoxu, no matter how big your business is, you don't have such a title."
Zhu Guoxu also smiled.
No matter what, Lei Huanxi still followed his promise and did not mention any of his past things.
I can feel more at ease.
It’s time for a family to have a meal, and the atmosphere should always be more harmonious.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the dinner gradually became more lively, Zhu Jinyan suddenly spoke:
"I'll tell you a joke?"
Come and find trouble again?
This is the first reaction in Lei Huanxi's heart.
Zhu Jinyan didn't care about Lei Huanxi and said to himself:
“Mr. A and Mr. B are from the same department.
One day, a couple A met a couple B on the road, so they chatted. A said, "My daughter went abroad to the United States." A couple B said, "My son went abroad to the United Kingdom."
A said, ‘My daughter is studying for a master’s degree in the United States.’ A said, ‘My son is studying for a doctorate in the United Kingdom.’
As soon as the two couples turned around, B's wife asked her man in surprise: "Why are you talking nonsense? Your son obviously graduated from high school and worked in another place. Why did he say he went abroad and studied for a doctorate in the UK?"
A certain B said: "Don't worry about him! Acquaintances cannot be greedy. You must speak loudly. Anyway, he will not investigate where my son is. This is called face. Do you understand? People need face."
If you do anything, you will want to save face, and this is a certain B."
As soon as Zhu Jinyan finished speaking, he started to laugh first.
"A certain B belongs to this".
This sentence is a pun.
Is this scolding myself or Annie?
Are you mocking yourself and Anne for being just a duke in a small country, but still bragging about yourself?
Lei Huanxi looked at Zhu Jinyan while thinking.
Annie's face obviously became bad.
Why do you have to have a good meal together?
Is it sad that you, Zhu Jinyan, will you not do anything?
Seeing that Annie was about to have an attack, Lei Huanxi immediately said:
"Since I'm telling a joke, I'll tell a joke too."
Fighting back?
Zhu Guoxu was silently watching them all the time.
My son always couldn't stand Lei Huanxi. Now he was the first to attack and scolded Lei Huanxi for fear of face.
How will Lei Huanxi fight back?
"This is also a story about a person who wants to save face. In fact, this story book contains it. It is about a gentleman who is rich and powerful. If he is called four great people, people are proud to be able to talk to him.
There was a little slut who loved to boast. One day, he happily told others: "The four masters have talked to me!"
Everyone asked him: ‘What are you saying?’
The little slut replied: 'I stood at his door, the four great men came out and said to me: Get out of here!'" Lei Huanxi also smiled on his face:
"A rich and powerful person scolded him, "get out!", which can be considered as having dates with rich and powerful people, and it is just disgusting. Losing face is also called "disgrace". Not afraid of "disgrace", it is "shameless". Hahaha."
Zhu Jinyan changed color suddenly.
Is that talking about my relationship with Mr. Adrien?
In Monique, I look very glorious, but in fact many people know that I am just a follower of Mr. Adrien.
Even if one day Mr. Adrien said to himself, he would not dare to refute at all.
Zhu Guoxu sighed softly in his heart.
Why did Jin Yan have a good time and insist on arousing Lei Huanxi?
Is Lei Huanxi not a kind man and a trustworthy woman?
Once this guy offends him, his counterattack is absolutely fast and fierce.
"I've told jokes, so I'll tell you one too."
For fear that everyone's gunpowder smelled out, Zhu Guoxu hurriedly made a smooth move and said:
“It’s also a story about face.
Once, I went to a unit to visit an old friend, and the guard asked, "Who are you looking for?" I said, "Look for Wang Xiaoliu."
The guard said coldly: "I won't be a guest at work hours, go to the side and don't block the way."
The second time, I went to that unit, visited that old friend, was still working hours, and the guard still asked, "Who are you looking for?"
‘Look for your general manager.’
‘Oh, oh! Please come in, please come in!’
I raised my face and walked in.
The guard said, "The general manager is on the eighth floor." I was waiting for the elevator proudly.
The guard said again: "It's at the east end of the eighth floor, do you want me to take you there?"
I entered the elevator happily.
Actually, I don't know the general manager here.
If the guard follows, he will be exposed.
‘Sir, please go!’ The guard was still complimenting me at the elevator door.
Look, look, if you don’t let the generals come in, you will follow the general manager to please him. Face is so important!”
What he told was a sarcastic joke, and it was also telling Lei Huanxi and Zhu Jinyan that this place was his own home.
