Chapter 30 Shi Meilan discovers the enemy and scouts attack
Yuan Yao vomited three times in one night. Logically, he should have been given some porridge, but the cafeteria was closed at that time. Hu Honghua had no choice but to keep giving him water.
After drinking too much water and becoming full of it, Mr. Yuan stopped vomiting. Instead, he lay on the sofa and then sat up silently, his eyes fixed on the void in front of him.
He looked unwell, not physically, but emotionally.
Before, when he was drinking with others outside, even if he was drunk, he was still tense, as if he was competing with others and trying to make a breakthrough at any time. But now that he was sitting here, the energy seemed to have been lost, and he looked very decadent.
Of course, Hu Honghua couldn't see it.
At this time, Hu Honghua had completely given up the idea of going back to the dormitory to rest. As the old saying goes, whoever is paid is the boss. Since she is getting a salary, she should serve well!
No matter what era, whoever pays is the boss.
When Yuan Yao sat up straight and stared blankly into space, Hu Honghua asked listlessly, "Mr. Yuan, what do you want to do?"
She really couldn't stand it anymore. She felt sleepy at a certain time.
Sometimes she didn't know where Yuan Yao got the energy from. This man could go to bed at 12 o'clock at night and sit in the office at 5 o'clock in the morning to work on contracts. She didn't know what the point of that crappy contract was, and she didn't see this garment factory making any huge fortune.
Hu Honghua complained in her heart for a long time, and suddenly she heard Yuan Yao say faintly: "Zhao Debao lied to me."
Hu Honghua perked up instantly—she was genuinely interested in this kind of grudge-ridden drama; it seemed like she had a gene for watching the fun in her veins. She hurriedly pressed the issue, "What did he lie to you about?"
Yuan Yao started talking after a while, and he didn't stop until the beginning.
Hu Honghua understood almost everything.
Zhao Debao was Yuan Yao's friend. He originally said he would invest in Yuan Yao, but later suddenly stopped investing in Yuan Yao, so Yuan Yao broke off their friendship with him.
Yuan Yao commented on Zhao Debao: A frog in the well, who will be boiled to death in warm water sooner or later. Not only is he not good-looking, but he is also very stupid. Such a person will be killed by disaster sooner or later.
Hu Honghua shook her head and thought, Oh, Yuan Yao has such a poisonous tongue.
After Yuan Yao finished scolding Zhao Debao, Hu Honghua thought he was going to sleep, but he started scolding someone else again.
He scolded so many people. In his mouth, it seemed that no one was a good person. Even his father was a philandering and promiscuous bastard.
Hu Honghua listened for a long time and thought to herself that there were no good people around Mr. Yuan. She remembered that Chen Chunxiang had asked her to ask "What kind of women does Yuan Yao like?" She became interested and asked Yuan Yao, suppressing her sleepiness: "Mr. Yuan, what kind of women do you like? Have you ever liked a woman?"
She asked two questions in a row, and Yuan Yao's gaze gradually fell back to her face. He stared at her face for a while, and suddenly said: "The porridge you cooked is unpalatable."
Why? ? ?
Why are we talking about her again?
Hu Honghua's eyes widened, then she remembered her salary and narrowed them again cowardly, mumbling, "I asked you what kind of woman you like, why are you talking about my porridge?"
Yuan Yao stopped talking again.
He began to daydream again, and Hu Honghua thought he was asleep several times, but when she looked closer, she found that he was not asleep.
He just stared at the ground, as if trying to see flowers from the ground. Hu Honghua lowered her head and saw nothing on the ground but her reflection.
Oh, forget it, there’s nothing I can say to a drunkard.
Hu Honghua leaned back on the sofa and thought to herself, let it be. She had already asked on behalf of Chen Chunxiang, so if she really couldn't get the answer, then forget it.
It just so happened that Yuan Yao stopped talking and vomiting, so it was quiet. She curled up on the sofa and fell asleep in a daze.
The lights in the office were on all night, and the two of them curled up on their respective sofas, spending the night quietly.
——
The next day was a beautiful Saturday.
Shi Meilan has a day off today.
This was a rare vacation for her. After leaving the garment factory, she rode her bicycle for a stroll around Chunfeng Town.
Chunfeng Town is very comfortable in summer. Riding a car, everything is interesting. Shi Meilan's car went around and around and finally stopped at a mutton restaurant in the center of the town.
This mutton restaurant changed its owner a few days ago, but the staff and chefs remained the same. It is still the same as before, still closing at 11 o'clock every night and starting to prepare ingredients early every morning.
The new boss is more capable than the previous boss. The previous boss only knew how to deal with sheep, but the new boss can get all kinds of wild game and starts chopping meat early every morning.
Game tastes much better than ordinary poultry. When the chef adds broth and cooks it over high heat, the taste is so delicious that it can make your tongue fall off, which indirectly boosts the business of the mutton restaurant.
The new boss is a generous man. He gives his employees a fixed salary, but if business is good that day, he will also give employees daily bonuses. Therefore, these employees are full of energy every day and greet everyone with a smile.
In the past, the boss only chopped the meat in the back kitchen, but later the prey he brought in became larger and larger, and the kitchen could not hold it all, and sometimes he could not finish eating it, so he just chopped it at the door of the store.
Because the things he sells are fresh, some people come to buy them early in the morning. The boss will estimate the sales volume of the store that day and then sell the remaining ones.
Anyway, it’s summer and the meat will rot quickly. If you don’t sell it now, you won’t be able to sell it in two days.
So early in the morning, a group of people gathered in front of the mutton restaurant to pick out meat. Some people bought it to take home and cook it themselves, while others simply picked it on the spot and asked the people in the mutton restaurant to cook it, and then came back to eat at noon or in the evening. Now, this restaurant is called a mutton restaurant, but in fact, it sells the least mutton.
Fortunately, the chef of this mutton restaurant is very capable, otherwise the restaurant would not be able to stand the model of taking orders and cooking on the spot. If the food is not tasty at all, the restaurant’s reputation will be ruined.
——
When Shi Meilan rode her bike to the restaurant, Hu Chengjun had just packed up his stall.
Today's prey was almost sold, and the rest could be used to cook for the customers in the restaurant. He had just put down the knife when he heard the sound of the car brake being squeezed.
When Hu Chengjun turned around, he saw Shi Meilan getting out of the car and locking it at the door of the store.
From the moment he saw Shi Meilan, Hu Chengjun was speechless. The man stood in front of the stall, as if he suddenly forgot how to close the stall. He looked at Shi Meilan, then at the stall, then at the stall, and then at Shi Meilan again.
When Shi Meilan locked the car and turned around, Hu Chengjun was still standing in front of the stall.
"What are you looking at?" Shi Meilan said as she walked towards the store, "Closing up the stall!"
Only then did Hu Chengjun remember how to close the stall. He lowered his head, picked up the wooden rack swiftly, and walked towards the store.
There were quite a few people in the store early in the morning - this mutton restaurant not only sells mutton, but also sells some light noodles with pickled vegetable sauce in the morning, and of course, a bowl of broth is also given as a compensation.
The broth is free, but it tastes like meat. Occasionally, if you are lucky, you can even get a piece of meat. Because of this bowl of broth, many people come to eat, and they eat very quickly. Basically, a table will be gone after a while.
When Shi Meilan arrived and just sat down, Hu Chengjun brought her a bowl of beef noodles. It was full of meat and the noodles seemed pitifully small. After bringing it to Shi Meilan, he hesitated, not knowing whether he should sit down and eat with her.
He wanted to sit down, but he was too embarrassed to say it. Just as he was stuck in that dilemma, Shi Meilan called out, "Why are you standing here? Come sit down and eat."
Hu Chengjun then brought himself a bowl of noodles and sat opposite her to eat.
Sitting opposite her literally means "sitting opposite her". He didn't say a word. The only thing he could do was to peel some garlic for Shi Meilan and bring her some pickled cucumbers. After Shi Meilan was full, he brought her a glass of water.
After Shi Meilan finished eating, he sat opposite her and held it in for a long time, not knowing what he was holding back.
Shi Meilan knew he was holding it in, but she didn't ask. She just sat there to see how long he could hold it in. Finally, Hu Chengjun forced out a sentence: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Look, people are like the water in the sea. If you squeeze hard, you can squeeze out something.
"Let's go." Shi Meilan said, "Go out for a walk."
The two of them got up and walked out of the store together, and started strolling around Chunfeng Town.
In fact, most of the shops in Chunfeng Town are concentrated in one place, just like a big market in the countryside. The good shops are also clustered together, forming a commercial street of initial scale.
Basically, you can visit all the shops by walking from here to there. If you want to shop more, you have to go to the farmers' market. The prices there are cheaper, but the goods are not as good as those in the shops.
However, Shi Meilan and Hu Chengjun were not there to look at the goods. They just followed each other and walked forward in a sticky manner.
This was the first time Hu Chengjun went out alone with Shi Meilan. He didn't know which way to move his hands and feet. It seemed that he couldn't even walk. He just followed Shi Meilan, step by step.
But as they walked, Shi Meilan suddenly stopped moving. After Hu Chengjun took half a step forward, he hurriedly stopped. He turned his head to look in the direction she was looking, and saw only a pile of human figures.
Shi Meilan suddenly grabbed Hu Chengjun's hand and pulled him aside.
Her hands were warm, and seemed a little smaller than Hu Chengjun's hands, and her skin was more delicate and smooth, like the finest silk. When the two held hands, his head buzzed, and his whole body became numb. Although his body could still move, his brain could no longer think. He was like a puppet. When Shi Meilan pulled him, he followed Shi Meilan.
Shi Meilan was leaning over to look outside at the time.
At that time, they were near a farmers' market. She saw a man and a woman walking and pulling each other. The man put his arm around the woman's waist, and the woman pulled the man's arm. Those actions didn't look like an ordinary relationship. Normally, Shi Meilan wouldn't care about other people, but she felt that this woman today was even more unusual.
She would recognize this woman even if she turned into ashes. It was Wang Yulian.
But the person next to Wang Yulian was not Li Jianye. Shi Meilan knew it was not him at a glance.
Then who is this man?
"Did you see it?" Shi Meilan asked.
Hu Chengjun: I didn’t know what she was saying but I nodded.
"Let's follow them." Shi Meilan said.
