Chapter 132 Don't worry be happy
Ju An and He Ni En parted ways at the museum entrance, took out her phone and called Wang Fan to ask if he was home. If not, Ju An planned to take a stroll before hailing a taxi back. If he was home, she would take a taxi directly back.
As soon as the phone was connected, Wang Fan said: "Anzi! Is it done? How is it, is it true?" He asked in a string of questions.
"It's true! I entrusted a company to take care of those bamboo slips, and I came out first. You can talk to the company about it, you weren't at home, so I just took a taxi back." Ju An said with a smile.
Wang Fan happily replied: "I never left, I was just drinking coffee in a nearby cafe. You can see the sign if you walk out of the museum gate and turn right for over 100 meters. The girls are all wearing red tight-fitting seven-eighths pants, as soon as you come in, you can see me."
"Damn it!" Ju An said with a smile, then hung up the phone in his hand and walked towards Wang Fan's direction.
Not far away, as expected, it was very eye-catching. At the entrance, several young girls with a strong sense of style were handing out flyers to passersby. When they saw Ju An approaching, one of the girls even enthusiastically opened the door for him. Ju An hastily thanked her before entering the store.
As soon as he entered the door and raised his eyes, he saw Comrade Te Wu squatting in the corner near the window, waving at Ju An.
She sat down at the table, and a shop assistant girl came over to ask what she wanted to drink. She ordered a cup of red tea and a small snack. The girl nodded and said "wait a minute", then turned around with her tight little butt and left.
"Ha! You little rascal, how did you find this place?"
"It's great here! You can see the beautiful girls outside the window and also the ones inside." Wang Fan scooped a spoonful of ice cream and said while eating, "By the way, how did you come out so quickly? I thought you'd at least be out until this afternoon."
"Let's not mention it, a group of old men got the thing and no one paid attention to me. I sang a song to myself and took a nap on the sofa, then waited for my entrusted company and lawyer to arrive, signed the agreement, and rushed out happily. If I stayed any longer, I suspected I would get senile dementia."
Wang Fan gave a thumbs up and said, "You're awesome! Look at this old man, not only did he come alone, but he also brought a lawyer. I don't know how many people have begged him to take a look at their stuff, and you just casually threw it out and solved the problem yourself, nice!"
"Why do I need to accompany him? I agreed to bring my things for him to see, thinking he was a person worthy of my respect. He looked at them and I'm still accompanying him, is he going to invite me to dinner or something? Bringing the lawyer was because of Zhu Jian's attitude towards it, it's also my thing. I brought the old lawyer and in the end, he didn't seem to have any misunderstandings. It was actually the old man's words about national treasure that startled me, I thought he wanted to advise me to donate it."
Wang Fan laughed and pointed at Ju An, saying: "You rascal! What kind of nonsense is going on in your head? Not to mention someone with the status of Lao Yezi, even people who are slightly higher up in the country can't say this. Encouraging you to send it back to the country for exhibition might be possible."
"Never mind what I'm thinking, let's finish drinking and go back. Tomorrow morning I'll take a plane back, there are still a bunch of little guys waiting for me in the pasture."
"What else have you got in this pasture?" Wang Fan asked curiously.
He rubbed his fingers on the rim of the teacup: "Last time I went hunting, Wu Song touched two small golden eagles and got two small mountain lions. Among them, the mountain lion was being raised by a female dog at home, but Teddy is more affectionate, and the golden eagle also needs to be fed."
"Wang Fan gritted his teeth and said, 'Damn it, you didn't even call me when you went hunting in the mountains yourself. Thanks to my brother for running around to entertain you, tonight you sleep outside in the tent!'"
"Brother, didn't you think of scouting ahead first and then taking us to play? Originally, it was just a simple idea to go catch some big deer heads, make a specimen, and spent over $100, allowing me to hunt ten male deer. Who knew that after entering the mountain, not only couldn't find any deer, but also got a bunch of useless stuff, you don't know my suffering!" Ju An smiled and explained.
"Awesome! This is even more bitter than that, it sounds more interesting than hunting deer, no way! After a while, or at Christmas time, take Kora there to go hunting in the mountains." Wang Fan thought for a moment and said hastily.
"Damn! On Christmas, you want to go to my place to hunt in the mountains? Are you trying to get yourself killed? It's going to be minus ten or twenty degrees at night and you want to go in there? If you just want to shoot some deer, you can find them on the edge of the pasture. Going into the mountains? You go by yourself, I don't want to go."
Wang Fan rubbed his forehead and said: "Then I'll go back and tell Kora, you wait for two days, we'll go to your home for Thanksgiving with you".
"Damn it, what's Cora doing with you on Thanksgiving at my place? Doesn't she go home? This is like our Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, which emphasizes family reunion. I suppose you'll be invited too, first time son-in-law visits, are you ready, Comrade Wang Fan?" Ju An said with a smile and tease.
Wang Fan was shocked: "Isn't Thanksgiving supposed to be about eating turkey? Why are they still doing this reunion thing, what's wrong with this guy?"
"Haha! Don't worry, I was just scaring you. If Kora hadn't mentioned it to you, then the chances of you going to his house this year are not high. If she had invited you, she would have told you already." Ju An smiled and comforted him: "You don't need to worry either, let's go back." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand at the waiter, said "just put it on the bill", handed over a green ticket, said "no change needed", and stood up.
"Whoa!" Wang Fan let out a breath, stood up from his seat and followed Ju An out of the coffee shop: "You scared me half to death!"
He walked a few steps and followed up by saying: "This is not right, isn't this just openly saying that we haven't developed to that stage yet?"
"Alright, alright! Don't worry about meeting the mother-in-law or not, let's just head back home first. Once we're home, you can take your time to think it over. If you really can't figure it out, call up some married friends from college, high school, or even elementary school and ask them when they met their mother-in-law. Don't bother asking me, I'm going to go take a nap as soon as we get home. And honestly, I don't have any experience with this either, I'm still far from that stage."
After arriving at Wang Fan's home, Wang Fan put Ju An down and threw the key to Ju An. He then drove away, saying he was going to the company to take a look, and started his own business.
A person returned to the house alone, took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, closed the door, went upstairs to the room, slightly exercised himself, then entered the space, put on the saddle for the naughty bag, ran in the space until he was slightly hot, got off the horse, untied the naughty bag's restraints, and exited the space.
Took a bath, opened a beer and leaned against the headboard to drink it all up, then crawled under the covers and fell fast asleep.
It felt like I had just fallen asleep, when I heard the sound of my phone ringing. Groggily, I picked it up and saw that it was Mike calling. I answered the phone and said, "Hello? It's An."
Mike heard the laughter and said: "An! You're really enjoying yourself, taking a nap in the afternoon. By the way, I'm telling you that Miles is also in New York, and he's going to have a party tomorrow night! It just so happens that I can invite you too."
"Tomorrow I'm thinking of going back to the ranch, thank Miles for me, Thanksgiving is coming up and many cowboys will be on holiday, I need to go back and take care of things."
"Actually, the dance is a small matter, there's something else I want to discuss with you. Some people are very interested in the anti-corrosion coating on your bamboo slips and want to study it further. To do that, they need to take some samples from your things for chemical analysis. Of course, you can enjoy a certain proportion of the research results."
He sat up from bed and asked strangely: "This news is indeed swift, quite clever, you won't sell me out, will you?"
"Absolutely not! You can't doubt my credibility, An. Those experts have kept your name confidential as per our request, but you know that the ancient anti-corrosion coating from over 2,000 years ago has achieved something that modern industry cannot, and without any special preservation, it's been exposed to air for over 2,000 years yet still looks brand new. This news can't be kept under wraps for much longer. My suggestion is to find a fixed research partner before others bother you, and that will put an end to their curiosity."
He sat comfortably, scratched his head, covered the receiver, and subconsciously cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, afraid of trouble, come to trouble". Then he said to Miles, "I know, another relative of Fuguo, right?"
Mike smiled and said, "Well, there is a chemical company under the Rich Country flag. Of course, if you don't want to choose this one, I suggest you wait and see how much money other companies can put in for research, whether they have the strength, and how much of the results you can get."
"Never mind, let's have the wealthy family come first then. Looks like we'll have to find Ni En again."
"Ah! You provide the research, others provide the funding and technology, share the results, no cost to you, and yet you're not interested at all! I've found that you're becoming less and less interested in making money. You should know that although you have a lot of money, compared to rich people in America, it's just barely enough to scrape by." Mack teased.
"My current wealth is basically enough, a little more or less doesn't matter, I'd rather enjoy life every day, than bury my head and work hard to make money, isn't that more tiring than going to the office every day? Being a CEO may sound good, but it's even more exhausting than being an employee. Have you heard of this phrase: don't worry be happy! Less worries, more happiness!" Yu An smiled and replied.
