"Roasted pigeon?"
Chen Cixiu was a little surprised when he saw the store name.
When did Cheng Yusheng start liking to eat this?
"Yes, I heard this restaurant is very good, so I came to try it."
Cheng Yusheng said in a very serious tone.
Chen Cixiu nodded and followed him into the store.
He sat down, picked up the menu, and nearly dropped his eyeballs.
"Old Cheng, are you sure you're coming to this place? One hundred and eighty-eight per dog?" Chen Cixiu's voice was very soft, so soft that only Cheng Yusheng could hear it.
After all, making too much noise would make the shop owner uncomfortable.
When you're out and about, you should always take good care of yourself.
Chen Cixiu dared not open his eyes; he would rather believe it was his hallucination than believe it was the price of a pigeon.
No matter what the process or the flavor, it doesn't justify 188 yuan for a pigeon.
Is this pigeon made of gold?
This is way too expensive. It completely contradicts the philosophy of Haochi Media, and Haochi Media will not be eager to cooperate with them.
Cheng Yusheng was clearly surprised. "It's alright, we're already here, let's give it a try."
Chen Cixiu nodded. Since he had already said that, what else could he say? He could only agree.
"Hey? Mr. Chen, Mr. Cheng, what are you two doing here?"
Jian Ning's voice came from behind him. Chen Cixiu turned around and saw Jian Ning.
"Oh ho, what a coincidence?"
He resigned from his post to pursue Taoism.
"That's quite a coincidence. What brings you here?"
Cheng Yusheng asked.
"What else can I do here? Eat."
Jian Ning pulled out a chair and sat down. Since it was a round table, she sat on the side.
Chen Cixiu said, "Oh right, you seem to really like eating pigeon, don't you?"
“Yes, when we first met, wasn’t I holding that roasted pigeon in my hand?” Jian Ning said with a smile.
Chen Cixiu shook his head, "It's been so long, how could I possibly remember? What a coincidence, boss, the three of you."
"Okay."
The owner responded and brought over bowls, chopsticks, and piping hot tea.
Jian Ning seemed to be a regular here, so she took the lead in ordering the food, while Chen Cixiu scalded his own bowl and chopsticks.
"Old Cheng, you..."
Chen Cixiu was just about to ask Cheng Yusheng to scald the bowls and chopsticks for Jian Ning, but he didn't expect the kid to be a little faster.
Chen Cixiu looked at Cheng Yusheng, then at Jian Ning, his mind replaying a series of details.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
On the day of the team building event, Chen Cixiu remembered that he planned to pick up Shu Yu himself, since she was a big star and the boss had to pick her up to show his sincerity.
Just as he was getting ready, Cheng Yusheng stopped him and told him to talk to Li Bowen.
If I remember correctly, after Cheng Yusheng and Tian Xin picked up Shu Yu, Jian Ning also got out of the same car.
Later, the two of them volunteered to work as a team to complete the escape room puzzle.
However, since everyone had already chosen their partners, and neither Cheng Yusheng nor Jian Ning had chosen one, it was just the two of them left.
They naturally became partners.
Moreover, the female employee previously said that Cheng Yusheng got off the 319 bus halfway through the journey, and now it seems there's definitely more to the story.
While Jian Ning was ordering food, Chen Cixiu checked the route of bus 319, then checked the halfway point, and searched for Cheng Yusheng's home at a few stops.
Unexpectedly, these stations were all very close to his home.
Chen Cixiu opened WeChat, tapped on his contacts, found Tian Xin's WeChat, and asked: "[During the team building event that day, were you just with Lao Cheng and Shu Yu who arrived later?]"
Ding-dong!
[No, there's also Jian Ning. What happened?]
Upon seeing this, Chen Cixiu realized that this kid was hiding something.
He replied with the three words "It's okay".
Suddenly, he noticed the messages on WeChat were flashing and shrinking, and that's when he realized the gossip group already had 99+ members.
Because he had enabled Do Not Disturb, he naturally couldn't see the group messages in time.
After glancing at it, I turned off my phone.
"Old Chen, what are you looking at?"
Cheng Yusheng asked.
Chen Cixiu smiled at the two of them, "The weather today is quite a coincidence."
Um?
The two were completely baffled.
Chen Cixiu picked up the teapot and poured himself some tea. "It's quite a coincidence that the tea just happened to fall into my teacup."
Upon hearing this...
Jian Ning and Cheng Yusheng weren't fools; they both understood what was going on.
Chen Cixiu crossed his arms and looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.
"Cough cough."
Cheng Yusheng coughed.
Jian Ning was also holding a teacup, but she quickly put it down because the tea was too hot.
"How...how did you know?" Jian Ning asked.
“Originally, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, but Lao Cheng, you’re being too natural. So natural that you immediately took the bowls and chopsticks to scald them as soon as they were served.” Chen Cixiu looked at Cheng Yusheng. “Also, didn’t you know there were people in the company when you left?”
"Huh? Is anyone still in the company?"
Jian Ning was stunned, and a helpless expression immediately appeared on her face.
Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws.
Both of them made a mistake despite their careful planning.
“Come on, want to chat with me? I can tell you what I do in the break room every day. They formed a gossip group, and I’m the group leader now. Last time we talked about Lao Li and Tian Xin, but after they went public, we talked about Lao Cheng.” Chen Cixiu looked at them and told them the truth.
