Chapter 033 Chapter 33

The Jidao team enjoyed a luxurious breakfast comparable to that of a five-star hotel. Although the team members were reluctant to leave the melon in front of them, President Li looked at the time, ate another piece of ham bread reluctantly, and called on the team members to work.

"The desert is nice, but compared to the melons, the work is a bit boring."

"But my five-times holiday salary is still more attractive."

On the off-road vehicle, the logistics lady who was on the same vehicle expressed her heartfelt emotion.

Although I really wanted to stay in the hotel and eat melons, but this time we came out to work during the long vacation, the salary of all the team members was three times higher than the legal salary.

Although it can't be compared with Ms. Xu who received two houses yesterday and a big gem today.

I can only say that comparing yourself with others will only make you angry. You must learn to be content with what you have, the logistics lady thought.

Ah Yan was half lying in the spacious back seat, her head resting on Jue Rue's thigh. She let out a long sigh when she heard the words.

She didn't know why she sighed, but she always felt that something big was going to happen next.

"Mr. Yan, that Miss Xu is your classmate." The logistics girl spoke.

Although Ah Yan didn't say anything to the team members, the crowd of onlookers had already gathered information from clues and the conversations between several men.

"Hmm." Ah Yan hummed dejectedly.

"Is it XX High School? It is indeed different from our district-level high school. There is even a school director."

The logistics lady was shocked. Are all the children from rich families' lives so dramatic? Judging from Mr. Yan's expression, he seemed to be used to it.

Ah Yan responded to her in a perfunctory manner, while his mind was wandering unconsciously.

She didn't know what was so good about this small town in the Monha Desert. Why did all these people come here and not leave?

Xu Jiaojiao and the others won't stay here forever, right?

Although she had a sumptuous breakfast in the morning, she would rather follow the team and finish the trip quietly than watching the dramatic plot.

Having been to the desert once yesterday, we were more familiar with the route today. Lying down, Ayan could feel the bumps were less severe than yesterday.

She muttered, "I don't know what Shen Jingchen was thinking. The ring can be placed in fried noodles."

This statement was immediately recognized by the lady in the front row, "Indeed, I remember seeing it online usually placed inside a cake. Or with a ring box hidden in the middle. This is the first time I've seen it placed inside fried bean paste noodles. Wouldn't it be greasy?"

"But if I received it myself, I would definitely not reject it. I would just wash it," the young lady added.

Ah Yan thought to herself, if she wasn’t careful when eating the noodles and took a big bite of noodles into her mouth, she might even break her teeth!

By then, I really won’t know whether I should feel sorry for my teeth or for the gem ring.

Moreover, the nice sapphire ring had to be put into the jajangmyeon that the chef had carefully prepared. The jajangmyeon must feel very wronged!

This behavior not only defiled the ring, but also wasted the fragrant noodles. Ah Yan felt that he really could not understand the thought process of people with halo.

When they were in high school, they had jewelry appreciation and maintenance as an elective course. Ah Yan thought about it and sent a message to Xu Jiaojiao.

Although aquamarine is more durable, it also needs to be treated well. Otherwise, it will be covered with this layer of oil film and will be foggy, which will directly reduce its value.

[Ayan]: If there is no professional cleaner around, rinse the ring with water and don't use a toothbrush directly on it.

【Ayan】: Rinse it with a water flosser. Or put it in the same container of water as the electric toothbrush, and avoid direct contact.

After a few minutes, Xu Jiaojiao replied "OK".

Ayan was lying on Juejue's thighs, and Zhuejue was rubbing her temples gently with her fingertips.

Ayan was pressed comfortably for a while, then she stretched out her left hand and grabbed Juejue's hand, interlacing their fingers together.

One was sitting, the other was lying, just playing with their hands out of boredom.

Ah Yan pinched out half of a heart with one hand, and Zhu Jue reached out to form the other half.

Put the two thumbs together again, and stretch the two palms of different sizes outward in two directions, and they will become a bird with spread wings.

Put the backs of your hands together and they will become a little rabbit.

There is no need to say a word. Just flip one wrist and the other hand will automatically come up to form a cute little animal.

More than ten years ago when I was in primary school, my class had a shadow puppet game. There were single-player competitions and double-player competitions. Ah Yan and Jue Jue both practiced hard for a long time before they managed to tie with Da Bao and Xiao Bao in the double-player competition.

After playing the shadow puppets in her memory, Ah Yan stretched out her hands. Zhu Jue stroked her back gently and helped her stand up steadily.

After playing for a while, Ayan felt much better.

Ah Yan rubbed his thigh, moved his lips, and whispered, "Is it numb?"

She lay on Rue's legs for quite a while.

Zhu Jue curled his lips and looked at her, "No."

He stretched out his hand and smoothed her messy hair, and the two of them leaned against each other in the back seat. Ah Yan pursed her lips and sent a message on her cell phone.

【Ayan】：(*^▽^*)I suddenly thought of my childhood.

【Jue Jue】：I thought about it too.

Ah Yan thought of something and started laughing.

She typed with a frown on her face.

[Ah Yan]: When I was a child, I was inspired by Dabao and Xiaobao in the shadow puppet competition. I kept thinking that if we were born from the same parents, we would also have the spiritual connection of dragon and phoenix twins.

When I was a child, the Internet was not well developed, and twins were always rare among the crowd.

When Ah Yan saw the halo at that time, he had been thinking about one thing.

Because Tan Dabao and Tan Xiaobao are dragon and phoenix twins, they are the "peerless genius little babies".

When they were young and ignorant, they even asked their parents if they could put them and Juejue back into their stomachs and give birth again. They even discussed who would be born first and be the eldest.

Until now, this is still a joke among the two families and even the neighbors.

The more she knew, especially when she was in middle school and high school, she wished she could go back to her childhood and cover her mouth.

【Jue Jue】: Fortunately, we are not twins of dragon and phoenix.

【Consciousness】：We are who we are.

From childhood to adolescence and into adulthood, they will always have the most intimate memories of each other and spend more time together than their parents did.

A look, a gesture, the first word spoken, in the long time, have already engraved everything about each other forever.

There will never be another person for each other in this world.

They are irreplaceable.

Another day in the desert was spent chasing after the land overlord's car to debug and test various data and parameters.

Ayan and Zhu Jue also temporarily lent a hand to the team, counting supplies, flying drones, and when they were immersed in the desert, the yellow sand made them forget about other things.

Drinking water under the scorching sun, Ayan took small sips subconsciously. Water is the source of life. Although they have plenty of supplies, they feel more cherishing everything in the desert.

In this desolate, vast and beautiful land, the most important thing is to stay alive and leave all worries behind.

After another day of bumpy ride, on the way back to town from the desert, Ayan was thinking, if they continue to ride on for a few more days, will their butts really be bruised and battered?

Although the team work is not that tiring, the fatigue from sitting in a car and getting jolted all day is really not much different from that of a normal job.

When the extreme convoy drove back to the hotel's large parking lot and the cars approached the hotel entrance, all the windows of the off-road vehicles were rolled down.

It was time for dinner again, and the dining car stove at the entrance of the hotel had been set up.

There are stir-fry dishes in a big pot and steaks fried on the spot, which is still a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine. The aroma of the food wafts through the air, instantly making people's stomachs drool and they subconsciously swallow their saliva!

The logistics lady in the same car subconsciously looked at Ah Yan in the back seat and said, "Boss Yan, can we still get a ride tonight?"

A Yan's face was numb, she didn't know either.

Did Shen Jingchen and his friends do the same thing at noon? If they stayed here all the time, the contrast between the lunch box Jidao ordered from the hotel in town and the food cooked by the five-star chef would be too tragic.

If we can't eat it, it will be the ultimate test of everyone's willpower and endurance, and it will be too hard to endure.

"Isn't he here? I can't eat the melon." The logistics girl looked left and right, but couldn't find the protagonist of the morning. There was inevitably some disappointment in her eyes.

After the team parked the car and packed their things, they entered the hotel lobby, where they were greeted by the hotel proprietress.

"Hey, Mr. Li, Mr. Qin, you're back."

"Will there be boxed lunches tonight? The assistant of the big boss surnamed Shen has said that we have brought enough ingredients, and the extra food can be made into boxed lunches and left at the hotel. Each one costs 20 yuan."

The lady boss looked around, covered her mouth with one hand, and whispered, "I secretly looked, what kind of beef is that? It's foreign beef, and there's raw ham that we don't recognize. I saw on the short video that it's very expensive."

The team members' eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. "Really? Twenty dollars?"

Some people even said what was on their mind, "If the company's meal order exceeds the budget, we can buy it ourselves."

President Qin clapped his hands at this moment, "Okay, let's do this lunch box together. The company can order it. Please note the number of servings and settle it together."

Thick and varied steak cuts and steamed shrimps are served in different lunch boxes, all depending on what the chef has prepared. Some are stir-fried, while others are simply topped with a spoonful of caviar. Even the rice is steamed with mineral water, and the meal plan is completely maxed out.

The team ate boxed lunches directly in the hotel restaurant. A Yan and Zhu Jue did not hesitate. Although they did not know why Shen Jingchen suddenly did such a thing, they really needed to replenish themselves after a day in the desert!

Sharing the table with the two were President Qin and President Li. President Li had been keeping an eye on the data in the Land Overlord's car, which consumed a lot of brain power. He had no idea how many energy bars he had eaten during the day.

Mr. Li was very moved while eating his lunch box. "The food is still delicious. The energy bars are too greasy."

"This meal is like the company's annual party. I really hope this drama can last a few more days."

As the spectators, no matter how much noise they make, it will not affect the test on Jidao's side, and they can also get some delicious food. The spectators are very enthusiastic every day. President Li even hopes that these people will stay until their team leaves.

Ah Yan silently swallowed a mouthful of vegetables. People have different pleasures. Now she just wanted to finish eating quickly and go back to her room.

It was for no other reason than that after the convoy stopped in the parking lot, she noticed that a luxurious B-type RV had appeared in the hotel at some point.

I don’t know who called this, and I don’t know what big show will happen next.

"Mr. Li, our plan for the desert trip is three or four days, right?" she asked Mr. Li.

Mr. Li, who was busy with his meal, nodded and said, "We have actually collected enough data in the past two days. The weather has been very good in the past two days, and all tests have gone smoothly."

"We will continue to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps tomorrow. If there are no problems, we can consider entering the mountain area and hiking the winding mountain roads in advance."

We were all a little tired of eating sand in the desert.

After dinner, until Ayan and Zhu Jue returned to the room, the team members went their separate ways. They even looked around the restaurant and hotel lobby for a while, but they didn't wait for the next big show.

Ah Yan was still a little scared when she returned to her room. If nothing happened tonight, she would have inexplicably started to worry about tomorrow morning.

Ningcheng.

At night, Chu Bingbing, who had just returned from the Great Wall, was almost paralyzed on the bed in the hotel.

She made an appointment for the hotel spa and ate some fruit. She was so tired that she couldn't eat anything.

She was so comfortable doing the essential oil spa that she almost fell asleep. The lady doing the spa was very quiet. She didn't try to sell her anything and didn't actively pry into her privacy. She just asked from time to time whether the strength was appropriate.

After the one-hour spa service, Chu Bingbing felt relaxed and her stomach was rumbling.

Today she changed her hotel to stay in a new one, which is called Royal Hotel. Its main purpose is to let guests experience the same enjoyment as the ancient royal family.

Chu Bingbing lives by herself in a large Chinese-style courtyard, a luxurious imperial journey, which costs 16,888 yuan a night. The rooms here are big enough for a family.

Chu Bingbing made a last-minute reservation because hotel prices doubled during the holidays, but the service was indeed good. She was in the spa room in her own courtyard, and she could look out the window at the garden while lying on her stomach. There were maple trees planted in the courtyard, and the red leaves in autumn were beautiful.

"Miss, do you have any recommendations for restaurants in your hotel? I've seen good Chinese food here before. It seems that one of your chefs makes authentic Ningcheng fried noodles." She asked the spa lady.

Chu Bingbing chose the Royal Hotel after reading a hotel guide by an internet celebrity. She remembered clearly that the internet celebrity specifically stated that the fried bean curd noodles here were delicious, and even invited the chef to introduce the origin of the restaurant in the video.

The capital city of Ningcheng is famous for its fried noodles, but she has never tried it since she came to Ningcheng.

The spa lady smiled apologetically, "Ms. Chu, if you want to taste Chef Du's fried noodles, Chef Du is currently on a business trip, so Chef Huang will provide the noodles."

Chu Bingbing had just mentioned it casually, but was stunned when she heard this, "The chef is still on a business trip? A competition?"

The spa lady shook her head: "It's a transfer within the group, we don't know either."

"Okay, I'll just have Chef Huang's." She didn't care at first, and she didn't come here specifically for Chef Du. They were all chefs of this top hotel, so a dish of fried bean paste noodles should not be much different.

Chu Bingbing didn't even go out, but just stayed in her own courtyard waiting for the service staff to come.

It is said that Chinese-style decoration can be scary, but the courtyard she was in was a typical neo-Chinese style, with a large space and a great view. It was not like the overly dark wood color in ancient TV dramas, nor did it feel very penetrating.

However, living alone is a bit lonely. There is no one to complain to. Even if she sends a message to her roommate on her mobile phone, she has to wait until her friend is free to reply.

Of course, it is also very pleasant to enjoy yourself alone. You don’t need to look at anyone’s opinion. Chu Bingbing can do whatever she wants.

Because the Great Wall is so far away today, Chu Bingbing is a little nervous, fearing that the system will suddenly give her a time-limited task. The Great Wall is crowded with people, and if she can't get off to buy things, and then has to catch up with the traffic jam in the capital, she will be in real trouble!

The Royal Hotel's service staff pushed a food cart in, and a simple dish of fried noodles was placed on her room table within five minutes of being cooked, along with several side dishes and fruits.

An hour later, when the table was cleared, Chu Bingbing was the only one left in the yard. She was browsing her phone while eating.

She casually clicked on the push image and text that appeared at the top. Why was the desert pushed to her?

Could it be that because I saved the desert beauty photo posted by Ayan yesterday, the APP automatically stole her photo album and pushed it? These companies are too much, big data, give me back my privacy!

She frowned and was about to long-press to show that she was not interested, when she found that the location of the picture and text was in the town of Mengha.

Chu Bingbing felt that he looked familiar.

She thought about it and thought that this was the place where Ayan and the others went. She stretched out her fingers and drew the second picture posted by the blogger, which was a helicopter landing in the town.

"Some important person came to town! It was the first time my daughter saw a helicopter and she thought it was a large toy to take home. [Laughing and crying]"

"Huh?" Chu Bingbing's eyes froze.

Did something go wrong with Ah Yan? Why did they suddenly send a helicopter over?

Aren’t these helicopters usually used for rescue operations?

Chu Bingbing switched to the WeChat interface on her phone and took a look at the photo message that A Yan had recently sent in the group.

"It should be okay." She murmured.

She switched back again, took a closer look and realized that the photo of the helicopter was taken yesterday, and she was immediately relieved.

This blogger is obviously posting on his daily personal account, and each picture and text is quite casual.

Chu Bingbing looked at the comments under her post and it was obvious that they were conversations between people who were familiar with the same place.

"I heard he's a big boss from the capital!"

"We even got a free meal this morning! Maybe you can get one if you take your kids there tomorrow morning."

Chu Bingbing's mind moved, and she clicked on this person's homepage, which was also public and not hidden. The top post was a video.

She clicked on the video and found that the video was not shot steadily, and it was obvious that it was taken casually with the camera in hand.

She saw two extended dining cars and an open space in front of them. She could see a team of chefs working on the cooking.

Chu Bingbing was wearing a complete chef's hat and uniform. As the photographer walked, she followed the camera angle to see Chinese and Western food being cooked on the spot.

She almost thought it was some kind of live chef competition. She had seen a similar program on CCTV-2 before.

It wasn't until the photographer turned around and took a picture of one of the chefs that Chu Bingbing was stunned.

She seemed to have seen this person and this chef's uniform in another video before. She paused the screenshot with two fingers, then exited and found the video of Ningcheng Royal Hotel recommended by an internet celebrity in her browsing history.

Chu Bingbing quickly clicked on the video and scrolled down the progress bar. After finding the chef, she also took a screenshot.

Switching to my phone album, I saw that the two screenshots were taken from similar angles and it was obvious that this was one person!

It’s Chef Du from the Royal Hotel!

Chu Bingbing's eyes widened. What kind of fate was this? The chef Du, who made the fried noodles she didn't get to eat today, actually showed up in the desert town where Ah Yan and his friends lived.

She remembered what the spa lady said about the business trip. The chef of a five-star hotel in the capital traveled across half of the country to go on a business trip to a small town?

She continued watching the blogger's video. In addition to the shaky video, the blogger also typed a long string of words.

"The big boss from the capital came to our place to look for someone, and he specially dispatched a food truck and helicopter to come over. In the morning, he also provided free noodles, wagyu beef, Australian beef and ham for the townspeople to eat. I've never been abroad in my life, but I got to eat them. I heard that they are all chefs from five-star hotels. Thank you, big boss [snickering]."

After reading this, Chu Bingbing was shocked!!!

Oh my god!

When all the information was gathered together, a strange light flashed in Chu Bingbing's eyes.

Who else can the big boss of the capital go to find? It must be Ah Yan and his group.

A large number of food trucks and various ingredients were mobilized and delivered to the town by helicopter. Such a gesture was made to let the townspeople eat for free, which was obviously a gesture to please people.

She searched the Royal Hotel where she was staying on her browser and found out that it belonged to the Ningcheng Fuping Group, which owns hotels, tourist areas, and various industrial properties across the country and is not hesitant in investing in emerging industries.

Chu Bingbing took a deep breath. The big boss of the group transferred the chef of its five-star hotel to the small town. It was obvious that the chef was not there to cook for him, but to please others.

This is the capital city of Ningcheng. A chef who makes fried noodles with soybean paste would naturally try to please the people of Ningcheng.

Ayan and Zhu Jue happened to be from Ningcheng.

Therefore, the boss of the Fuping Group brought his chef and followed Ah Yan and his friends thousands of miles to a desert town, just to let them have a taste of their hometown in a place where resources are scarce.

Chu Bingbing was vaguely thinking of the TV series she had watched, in which small local officials in ancient times fawned on their superiors.

Although ever since she had the Shenhao system, she has been smiling and flattering service staff almost everywhere she goes.

But at this moment, Chu Bingbing was still shocked by the facts she had deduced.

The fact that a group boss would travel thousands of miles with a team of chefs to achieve such a goal, and the chef was willing to cook on the spot with a small food truck, the identities of A Yan and Zhu Jue once again raised the original position in her heart.

He is the boss of a big group, and he is so servile and fawning.

And the boss of this group must be older than Ayan and the others, right?

The boss of this group, who is already unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people, would actually operate in this way.

Chu Bingbing took a deep breath at this moment. No wonder they didn’t go back to Ningcheng during the holidays. If she just went to her roommate’s house to play, Ah Yan and the others would probably feel embarrassed, afraid of exposing their identities.

They grew up in such an environment and came to Bincheng for college just to avoid family troubles, but even during the holidays they couldn't escape being pursued and flattered by interested people.

Chu Bingbing put down her chopsticks, a gleam of wisdom flashing in her eyes.

She was certain that Ayan Zhujue came from the aristocratic family that was rumored on the Internet!
