Chapter 30
"Last year, my third sister asked her in-laws to share five of them with you from her mother-in-law's family in her hometown. Uncle Xia, please don't push your luck." Lian Yijian rolled his eyes at him and continued eating the roasted lamb kidneys.
Xia Zhongqin had seen the introduction of blood sausage in "A Bite of China" before. It said that this dish was made by stuffing the blood of a freshly slaughtered pig into fresh small intestines and then boiling them.
If you want to eat it later, just cut it into pieces and cook it with sauerkraut and pork. I heard it’s delicious.
But seeing Xia Kaiqun's greedy look, Xia Zhongqin said, "Teacher Xia, is this blood sausage really that delicious?"
"Sister, when the time comes, you can ask our General Lian to give you a few to try. I guarantee you'll want more."
"Oh, no need, I'm just asking casually." Xia Zhongqin drank a cup of Wanglaoji and suppressed his shock.
Only then did Xia Zhongqin realize that when they shared a table for lunch today, Xia Kaiqun always pulled her and Lian Yijian together intentionally or unintentionally. If it happened once or twice it was a coincidence, then if it happened too many times, there must be something fishy going on.
Xia Zhongqin was almost full. After wiping her mouth, she took out her mobile phone, scanned the payment code on the wall, and was about to pay, but was stopped by Xia Kaiqun, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
"Sister, what are you doing? Didn't we say that Lian Zong will pay for it?"
"Zhong Qin, if you need anything, go back first. I'll buy it for you."
"Don't think too much. Just treat this meal as the completion of the century-long project. The three of us in the project team will have a meal together." Lian Yijian said softly.
Even Yi Jian said so. If she insisted any further, it would seem that she was being too deliberate. Xia Zhongqin took her phone back and did not insist on her own opinion.
"Are we going to the customer site tomorrow, next Monday or next Tuesday?" Lian Yijian asked.
Xia Zhongqin told Lian Yijian her specific plans for next week.
Lian Yijian nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
"Your arrangements for visiting the Centennial Project site next Monday are very reasonable. The Centennial Project has already been modified according to Mr. Wang's latest requirements."
"If he raises any requests that are not within the scope of the contract, we will not provide them. The one-year free operation and maintenance period for their system expires in June, and all services will be suspended before acceptance."
"Okay, Mr. Lian, thank you for the meal. You and Teacher Xia can enjoy your meal. I'm going back first."
"Be careful on the road." Lian Yijian reminded.
When Xia Zhongqin stood up from the dining chair and left, Lian Yijian also turned around and watched her back until she disappeared out the door.
Xia Kaiqun waved his hand in front of Lian Yijian's eyes a few times.
"Yi Jian, you've been poisoned, and it looks like you've been poisoned quite deeply."
"Uncle Xia, you are really sick, and your illness is serious."
Lian Yijian turned around and looked at the large plate of untouched garlic lobster and a dozen or so barbecue skewers left on the table.
"Hurry up and eat. Isn't it someone who's been clamoring for crayfish and barbecue?"
Xia Kaiqun snorted coldly, "It's all thanks to that guy today, otherwise I wouldn't be so lucky to eat so much."
"On weekdays, Yi Jian only orders two dishes at most, and when you have a barbecue, you only treat me to some vegetarian dishes. There's no limit on the vegetarian dishes, but you only allow me to take five skewers of meat. It's nothing like today, where you can eat as much as you want."
Seeing Xia Kaiqun's aggrieved look, Lian Yijian, who happened to be eating roasted cauliflower, laughed so hard that the cauliflower in his mouth spat out.
Lian Yijian paused for a moment before retorting, "Am I such a stingy person? I don't allow you to eat more because you have high blood pressure. If something happens to you from eating too much, how am I going to explain this to Guan Yan and Le Le?"
Lian Yijian was telling the truth. Since he was 35 years old, Xia Kaiqun had been suffering from high blood pressure and other diseases that only occur in old age because he had been staying up late and working overtime, which had overdrawn his body.
After suffering from high blood pressure, Xia Kaiqun has been taking medicine in recent years. Because he can't control his appetite, the medicine can only relieve the symptoms but can't even control it.
Lian Yijian’s words made sense, and Xia Kaiqun had no way to refute it, so he could only sigh.
"If I were fifteen years younger, I would swear to pursue Zhong Qin. I've lived for most of my life, but this is the first time I've met a girl as soft and sweet as her, who loves herself, is strong, gentle and kind, and has a beautiful face. I really want to..."
Lian Yijian interrupted him and replied coldly: "You are not allowed to covet my people."
"Tsk, I'm not even going to give it back to you. Think about it, why are you still not letting me go? When did your possessiveness become so strong?"
Xia Kaiqun looked at him with a look of anticipation and continued, "If you're really embarrassed, then I'm willing to help you tie the knot and be the matchmaker. How about that?"
"You dare? If you dare to talk nonsense in front of her, I tell you, Master Xia, our friendship is over."
Lian Yijian's voice revealed anxiety and fear, and Xia Kaiqun naturally heard it.
"Mr. Lian, the delivery leader of Beijing Smart Internet Co., Ltd., who has always been daring and enterprising, has always been afraid of something. I thought there was nothing that could scare you..."
Seeing that Xia Kaiqun was still chattering on about a topic he didn't want to discuss, Lian Yijian shouted to the front desk, "Madam, please get me two bottles of ice-cold beer."
Soon, two bottles of ice-cold beer were brought over by the proprietress and placed on the dining table.
"Drink two bottles of wine and see if that can shut Mr. Xia up."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll vomit in your car when we get back to Shanghai in the afternoon?" Xia Kaiqun picked up the bottle opener on the table and asked while opening the wine.
