Chapter 264: Let’s compete!
It's just riding a bicycle. Not to mention riding at lightning speed, it should be an easy thing to leave a frail factory manager far behind!
This is what Feng Shuo thought when he just raised his leg and stepped onto the 28-inch bicycle!
But who would have thought that he was following behind the jeep, grunting and inhaling the exhaust fumes, still looking smug!
After turning a corner, he turned his head and found that Xia Jun took a shortcut and slipped into the alley.
As for where this alley led to, he had no idea.
It’s been so many years since I had a good stroll in Beijing!
The development of Beijing is also changing with each passing day.
He couldn't guarantee that he knew every road.
But Xia Jun is different. He grew up in the old city. No matter how the streets change, he walks there every day. He knows best where the twists and turns lead to.
Feng Shuo felt a tightness and blockage in his heart.
After pedaling for a while, people stood up!
How could he still be surpassed?!
Grunt, grunt——
He turned sideways and twisted the steering handle twice, then passed by the jeep.
In the car, Wen Wen exclaimed again, "Captain Feng's physical fitness is really amazing! He can actually outrun a jeep on his bike!"
“…” Xiao Zhang gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his foot on the accelerator began to tremble!
This... should he step on the accelerator to speed up, or step on the brake slightly to give way to the captain?
Hearing this, the other people in the car also looked outside.
The autumn wind blew Feng Shuo's coat up.
Zeng Xiaoqin was still sharp-eyed. She looked around and laughed out loud: "My cousin is still so competitive! He must have been outdone by Xia Jun, so he got so angry! Xia Jun, well done!"
"If you say that, aren't you afraid that your cousin will turn his face away?"
Zhu Yunwei held her forehead in annoyance.
Zeng Xiaoqin looked unconcerned and hugged Zhu Yunwei's arm: "What are you afraid of! I have my sister-in-law to protect me, just like I have an invincible body."
When Aunt Qin heard this, she trembled with sorrow.
Soon, the jeep arrived at the entrance of the state-owned hotel.
Everyone got off the car and was surprised to find that Xia Jun and Feng Shuo had both arrived.
"Cousin! Who of you won?"
Zeng Xiaoqin saw that Fu Fengshuo had a dark face and was still talking about things that were not related to the topic, so she asked him as soon as they met.
Feng Shuo narrowed his eyes.
Xia Jun smiled good-naturedly, "Everyone, hurry in. We have a private room, and the dishes are already being prepared. There's the Dongpo pork that reporter Zeng wanted to order."
"Director Xia! Next time I'll take your own photos for your garment factory report, they'll definitely be loved by all the girls in the city!"
Zeng Xiaoqin was in a good mood and spoke without any restraint.
Xia Jun lowered his head and pursed his lips.
Wen Wen chimed in, "Who won? Captain Feng even outran our car just now!"
"It's just riding a bicycle. It doesn't matter whether you ride fast or slow." Xia Jun was still trying to smooth things over.
There was also a smile on Zhu Yunhui's lips.
Feng Shuo felt even more upset after seeing this and coughed lightly: "...I lost. What's the penalty?"
"Ah? Cousin, you lost! This shouldn't be the case. Aren't you the leader? You don't usually exercise!"
"Zeng Xiaoqin! You've grown wings, haven't you?"
"Sister-in-law, please take care of my cousin! He's clearly the one who lost, but he refuses to admit defeat..."
Zeng Xiaoqin didn't look gentle, but rather a bit noisy. This was probably because she was always traveling around for interviews, making her more outgoing and cheerful. She suddenly raised her voice to criticize Feng Shuo, almost breaking it, which made everyone laugh.
Feng Shuo wanted to end this farce as soon as possible, so he held his forehead and said, "I accept the loss. What's the punishment?"
"Punishment, punishment..." Zeng Xiaoqin thought that this must be a big punishment to destroy her cousin's prestige, but when she saw the master's sinister eyes, she didn't dare to say anything. She could only timidly say, "Three glasses of wine as punishment!"
“…”
Feng Shuo clenched his fists hanging at his sides again.
Three cups is nothing, but I feel a little guilty.
I got drunk once and said something rude, and I almost lost Yaoyao.
This risk...
"Cousin, why are you being so coy today?! Do I have to say no, so my sister-in-law has to say it?"
Zeng Xiaoqin said this and pushed Zhu Yunying to the front.
Zhu Yunying kept smiling when she saw Feng Shuo being humiliated.
She raised her eyes, her brows curved. "Wenwen and Aunt Qin have come all the way here to welcome them. You're a native of Beijing, so shouldn't you be the host?"
"……good."
Feng Shuo carefully looked at the look in Zhu Yunwei's eyes, and confirmed again and again that she was not unhappy before nodding.
After a brief exchange of greetings at the door, when they arrived at the private room, all the dishes had already been served.
Everyone at the table was chatting happily.
Wen Wen and Feng Shuo were not familiar with each other, and they mainly stayed next to Zeng Xiaoqin and Zhu Yunwei, chatting about things between women.
Zeng Xiaoqin asked, "Have the photos I took of Wenwen been sent to Xiaojia's hometown? Has her future in-laws met them? Is marriage imminent?"
"Reporter Zeng, why do you have to interview everywhere? Even if you interview, no one will watch it!" Wen Wen laughed and avoided the question.
Zhu Yunying chuckled: "That's not necessarily true. When you become famous, people all over the country will know your dance. Who knows, someone might even copy the costumes you wear!"
"..." Wen Wen opened her mouth wide, her eyes filled with disbelief, "Sister-in-law, this is impossible."
"How is it impossible! Wasn't that Shen...that girl surnamed Shen like that before? Everyone in the art troupe secretly copied her style because she was so famous! But now... hehe!"
Zeng Xiaoqin raised her eyebrows and shook her head.
Wen Wen shrank her neck and hesitated a bit: "Forget it then. I'll just dance honestly and try to stay in the art troupe for a few more years. It's enough for me to create some classic pieces with my comrades."
"Wenwen said it well! We in the army should guard against arrogance and impatience, calm down, and live a good life. That's better than anything else."
Aunt Qin took over the conversation and offered to toast together, using tea instead of wine.
Zhu Yunying also thought that after not seeing Aunt Qin for a few months, someone must have opened her Ren and Du meridians.
Unexpectedly, just as I put down my teacup, I heard Aunt Qin whispering in my ear, "Comrade Xiao Zhu, it's understandable that you're pregnant now, so it's hard for me to speak. But you see, Wenwen is still young, and she doesn't know how to cherish such a good opportunity! Captain Zhao even asked me to come with her just to make her a beautiful performance costume! The leaders are so thoughtful!"
"..." Zhu Yunwei had figured out something and suppressed her smile, "What does Aunt Qin mean?"
"I'm not that interesting! You see, I'm old, and the costumes I wore for performances in the military brigade are all traditional. My experience is enough. But in Beijing, it's not enough."
“…”
"After all, Beijing is full of talented people! If you're not careful, you'll be outdone. We can't afford to lose face for the army."
Aunt Qin's few words were about arranging the performance costumes for Wen Wen, but they accidentally reached Feng Shuo's ears.
This jealous guy glanced at Xia Jun coldly and handed him the wine glass.
"Director Xia, you have such good physical fitness. You must pay a lot of attention to exercise regularly, right?"
