Age of Empires From Scratch

"Change jobs?"

Cheng Xiaodong didn't know what kind of job David wanted to invite her to, but she had never thought about leaving the police force, so she refused without even asking.

"Didn't think about it."

"That's it..."

David was not disappointed. He happened to meet him and extended the invitation smoothly, which also left an impression on Cheng Xiaodong's heart.

When Cheng Xiaodong's development in the police force does not go smoothly in the future, he will naturally think of his invitation today.

At that time, she should have also learned about Winter City and her situation from Cheng Xiaoxi, and maybe she jumped to the Winter City Police Department.

Arriving at Cheng's house by car, Cheng Sheng, who gave birth to three beautiful daughters and a handsome son, seemed to be a very lucky man, the kind who could develop super powers by picking up a secret book.

When Cheng Sheng saw David and learned that it was the guest invited by Xiao Xi, he immediately became happy. Without waiting for his daughter to explain, he immediately started cooking to prepare a sumptuous lunch to entertain the distinguished guests.

"Xiao Xi, please greet me first... Well, look at me, I even forgot to ask the guest's name. How do I address him?"

"David Glamorgan, just call me David."

"Oh, David, are there any taboos or things you don't eat?"

"No..." David quickly grabbed Xiaoxi's father and told him not to be busy cooking, but to sit down and let him check.

"examine?"

"Dad, David was specially invited by me to help you see a doctor."

"See a doctor?" Cheng Sheng realized that he might have made a mistake: "Are you a doctor?"

David originally wanted to deny it, but then he realized that his first profession was a priest. A priest is equivalent to a doctor in Azeroth, so he can barely be regarded as a doctor.

What's more, Cheng Xiaoxi answered the call faster and directly deceived her father, saying that David was an expert. She had great difficulty and paid a lot of money to invite someone to come and treat her father at home.

Cheng Sheng, who originally thought it was his son-in-law who came to the door, suddenly changed his expression from sunny to cloudy. His face stretched as long as possible, and he said very unhappy: "No need, I have checked it many times."

In fact, I was extremely panicked. After all, his terminal illness was fake. If experts really found out the clues, his daughters would probably rebel together.

"It's just for a look. I won't ask you to do various tests, so it won't be troublesome."

"Oh, so many machines have checked it many times, and they have already confirmed this result. What's the use of just looking at it?" Cheng Sheng took the opportunity to urge his daughter to bring her boyfriend back quickly, while his body was still holding on. When he can live, he will solve his life-long problems so that he can go to their mother in peace...

Jiliguala, Waibibabu...

After what they said, Cheng Xiaodong and Cheng Xiaoxi had splitting headaches, but thinking that their father was terminally ill, they couldn't speak out to refute at this time, so they could only sit there and hold on.

David sat quietly aside, watching Cheng Sheng's various performances. However, the old gentleman suddenly changed the subject, stared at him and asked, "David, are you married?"

"not yet."

"Do you have a girlfriend? If not, what do you think of our Xiaoxi? You are both doctors, so you must have a lot in common..."

Seeing that his father was about to push his third sister into the fire pit, Cheng Xiaodong hurriedly took his father to the kitchen: "How can we let the guests sit there and starve all the time? Dad, let me help you go to the kitchen to make lunch."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Cheng Sheng, who was dragged away by Cheng Xiaodong in a daze, whispered to his eldest daughter: "I think David is good. Do you think Xiaoxi has a chance?"

"No chance. He is so handsome, and there are many beautiful women chasing him, and they are either rich families or European princesses."

"Ah? So powerful?"

"yes!"

"Xiaoxi is there really no hope?"

"It's definitely hopeless!"

…

When the two of them disappeared completely, Cheng Xiaoxi showed an awkward smile to David, and then thought of business: "How was it?"

"How about what? My eldest sister said you have no chance? Actually, I think what your eldest sister said is not accurate. You still have some hope."

"..."

He raised his hand and hit David hard with his small fist. Anyway, David was so strong that I couldn't hurt him no matter how hard I hit him.

"I'm asking about my father's illness."

"Oh, this!" David took a sip of water and acted like an expert. When Cheng Xiaoxi raised his fist for the second time, he said slowly: "Your father is in very good health. Even many elderly people There are no common defects in people.”

"What's the meaning?"

"It means your father doesn't have cancer."

Cheng Xiaoxi put down his fist and tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face: "No way, that examination institution is very famous, how could it be possible to misdiagnose? Could you have made a mistake?"

"Maybe it wasn't a misdiagnosis by the examination agency!" Just kidding, what kind of state is David in? Is it possible to misjudge a mere cancer? To say no means no!

Even in order to avoid differences between the real development and the original plot, David checked Cheng Sheng's physical condition very carefully, and he can give a 120-point guarantee that Cheng Xiaoxi's father is definitely not terminally ill.

With a warning to the dreamer, Cheng Xiaoxi immediately realized that her father was pretending to be sick to lie to her just to urge her sisters to find boyfriends.

"Okay, I even used this trick." Cheng Xiaoxi was very angry at her father's trick, especially when she thought that she was going to use herself to offset the medical expenses in order to treat her father. As a result, But I learned...

well? Since Dad doesn’t have cancer, David doesn’t need to treat him! David didn't do any treatment, so naturally he didn't need to pay the bill!

This is really a blessing among misfortunes!

"What about the cost of visiting a doctor?"

"I'll treat you to a big dinner!" Cheng Xiaoxi pointed to the kitchen: "My dad's cooking skills are very good, no worse than those top chefs in restaurants. You are in for a treat today."

Cheng Sheng's cooking skills were indeed good. After having a sumptuous lunch, David said goodbye and left under Cheng Sheng's reluctant eyes.

The sisters Cheng Xiaodong and Cheng Xiaoxi didn't even say they were seeing them off. They just called a taxi for them and then went to find Cheng Xiaonan together.

Judging from the posture of these two sisters, it is estimated that their father will be in bad luck next.

After taking the car back to Tianxiahui, David did not go back to the company. Instead, he called Hu Huishan and asked her to go out for dinner at the Manhan Building.

Since the Man-Han Restaurant showdown with Chaofan Catering Group, Man-Han Restaurant has not only made tens of millions in net cash, but has also further developed its reputation.

Now the Xiangjiang food circle knows and recognizes the strength of Manhanlou. There is an endless stream of people coming to drink tea and eat every day. It is impossible to get an empty table without making a reservation in advance.

David always called in advance to say hello, and waited until Hu Huishan arrived.

"Why do you suddenly want to eat with me?"

"I have something to talk to you about."

David looked around and found that Hu Huishan had not only changed her clothes, but also put on exquisite makeup. This was quite rare for Superintendent Hu who usually only wore light makeup at most.

As an experienced police officer, Hu Huishan also noticed David looking at her face and explained casually: "There will be an operation in a while, and all Bawanghua will be required to dress up. I have been practicing makeup recently to avoid being in trouble. The makeup skills are too crude and embarrassing.”

"Even if Ashan doesn't wear makeup, she will still be the most beautiful woman in the room."

"You should save these words for your little girlfriend!" Although Hu Huishan said this, the raised corners of her mouth still revealed her true thoughts, but she still kept reminding herself or David: " I'm not young anymore, and if I don't wear makeup, some marks will be very noticeable."

After chatting for a while as a warm-up, when tea and snacks were served, Hu Huishan asked David what the reason was for inviting her out.

Seeing that things were brewing, David finally revealed his plan: "I want to ask Ashan to work at my place."

"Where are you? Wanshiwuwu?"

Hu Huishan remembered that although Wanshiwu had received a few orders of business, it was usually very leisurely. There were only three people in the company including the newly recruited front desk girls. David basically completed all the commissions by himself. Is it necessary to recruit additional people?

Is it possible that David is planning to expand the size of the company and let himself be responsible for solving some of the commissions? But she had no interest in this kind of job, and when she was about to refuse, she heard David say, "It's not a master house."

"Not Wanshiwu? Do you have other companies?"

"It might not be accurate to say company."

David showed his cards directly and briefly explained his identity and general situation.

Hu Huishan's reaction was not unexpected. She smiled and listened to it as a story: "It sounds like that..."

Things like Winter Kingdom, Winter City, His Majesty the King, etc. sounded like fairy tales. Of course Hu Huishan didn't believe these words.

If David said that he was actually a noble from England and had some property at home and needed help from someone to take care of it, she might believe him and at most question why he was looking for him?

David, this young man, obviously has ulterior motives!

Hu Huishan also had some affection for David, but she knew that there was an age gap between the two, and there was no shortage of beautiful girls around David. She always felt that he was just looking for her to have fun, excitement, and just for fun. Individuals cannot have results.

Some time ago, David and Cheng Leer went out to sea together. She thought that David had found a new goal and no longer paid attention to her, but she didn't expect that David would come back to look for her again.

Deep down in my heart, I was happy that my charm had not diminished. I was curious about what tricks David would use, but I also kept reminding myself: I can't see the other person being young and handsome, so I can't control myself and surrender.

But no matter what, Hu Huishan never thought that David would make up such outrageous words. Doesn’t she look like it’s easy to deceive?

Even a teenage girl wouldn’t believe such outrageous words, right?
