Lin Dingqiang completed the business of selecting numbers, obtaining certificates, and handling insurance in the 4S store.

However, just like the 4S store only gave two umbrellas and a fire extinguisher, Lin Ding's luck in choosing a license plate was average, and he didn't choose any jaw-dropping numbers.

However, for Lin Dingqiang, it is enough to have a Beijing N license plate and an A8L.

Hang up the temporary license plate and put the new car on the road.

Lin Dingqiang couldn't help but add 168 yuan of gasoline to the gas station outside the 4S store in order to send it all the way.

Driving the car, Lin Dingqiang drove on Qianmen West Street, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and saw the appearance of the capital from his car window for the first time.

Under the blue sky, the national acacia guards on both sides of the endless road, and they have witnessed countless people with dreams working hard in the torrent of the capital, just hoping to find a foothold of their own in this impetuous city.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the capital has the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, old alleys, and endless gossip.

But in the eyes of the powerful, this is the imperial capital full of challenges, opportunities and risks.

The inseparable lights are green, and the people who can't get around the world.

Lin Dingqiang has always understood a truth, having money does not necessarily mean that he can have status, but it is indeed difficult to move an inch without money.

Just when he was hesitant and sighing about life, the mobile phone rang, and he saw that it was Xin Qing calling.

"Where?" asked Xin Qing on the phone.

Lin Dingqiang replied: "Qianmen Street." What's wrong?"

"You don't care about your team members?" Xin Qing asked rhetorically, "You don't know, Zhao Lei was crying and vomiting last night, and I took care of her until the early hours of the morning!

Lin Dingqiang smiled, "You are the leader, shouldn't you take care of your subordinates?"

"I'm not her direct leader!" Xin Qing's tone was obviously anxious, but she still suppressed her voice and said, "Come to the hotel and clean up your mess!"

After speaking, Xin Qing hung up the phone.

Lin Dingqiang pursed his lips, thinking that what happened to Zhao Lei was too miserable, so he had to drive towards Houhai.

After Lin Dingqiang returned to Houhai, Xin Qing and Zhao Lei had already left the room and waited at the door of the hotel.

Lin Dingqiang stopped the car in front of the two, lowered the window, and saw Zhao Lei, whose eyes were swollen bigger than eggs.

"Get in the car. Lin Ding waved his hand.

Xin Qing looked at the new car and came to the door of the passenger seat, "Team Leader Lin, have you bought a car?"

Lin Dingqiang responded: "It's convenient!"

"Enough to give!"

"If one person is full, the whole family will not worry," Lin Dingqiang replied: "Men just have to be kind to themselves!"

Xin Qing glanced at Lin Dingqiang again, and asked like a cannon: "Then you see! I was so tired last night, and you picked up a new car today, and now it's time for dinner, shouldn't you treat yourself to dinner?"

"Please, what do you want to eat!" said Lin Ding generously.

Xin Qing laughed happily, and just opened the car door, but she didn't expect Zhao Lei on the side to speak, "Mr. Xin, you sit in the back row." ”

"What?" Xin Qing was stunned.

"You're the leader, I watch it on TV. Zhao Lei gave a judgment according to her understanding of the workplace, "The leaders are all sitting in the back row." ”

Xin Qing hesitated for a second and said with a smile: "This weekend, there is no leader." Go ahead! Lie down and have a good rest! I'll just sit in the passenger seat!"

Zhao Lei squirmed for a long time, until Lin Dingqiang nodded, and then sat in the back row tremblingly.

Lin Dingqiang did not raise the baffle, and Xin Qing, who had just sat in the car, quickly fastened his seat belt and asked, "What to eat?"

"You decide. Lin Dingqiang replied.

Xin Qing turned to look at Zhao Lei, who was dejected, "You decide." ”

Zhao Lei pouted, she was hungover and out of love, and now she has no taste even if she eats dragon meat, "I...... I don't have anything to eat. ”

"You threw up all last night. Xin Qing saw that Zhao Lei couldn't make up her mind for a long time, so she said, "Why don't we go eat shabu mutton?"

"Good. Zhao Lei agreed.

Lin Dingqiang frowned and said, "Eat shabu mutton this day, isn't it hot?"

"Team Leader Lin, didn't you say we decided?" Xin Qing asked rhetorically.

Lin Dingqiang nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'll take you to taste the most authentic mutton shabu!"

The really delicious restaurant is not necessarily on the road, Lin Dingqiang drove the car and took the two to a mutton restaurant in the alley.

After parking the car, the three walked into the alley.

After walking for about five minutes, Lin Dingqiang pointed to a courtyard in front of him and said, "This is it." ”

"Here?" Xin Qing poked her head out curiously, "It doesn't look like a place to eat!"

Lin Dingqiang explained: "This store has been open for 70 or 80 years, and my ancestors have lived here for generations, so it has maintained its original appearance. Look at the two stones at the door, they are called mendang. Because it is the appearance of a bookcase, it can be inferred that some of their ancestors were civil officials, and their rank is not low. ”

"It's so exquisite!" Xin Qing sighed, and at the same time looked forward to the mutton shabu, "Let's go!"

After the three of them entered the gate, they first saw a hidden wall carved with patterns such as cranes and bats, and then smelled the smell of charcoal and mutton.

Lin Dingqiang greeted him familiarly, "Master Zhou, three." ”

"You come often?"

"What if it weren't?"

Lin Dingqiang walked towards the empty table on the side, and after taking a seat, an old man in his 70s came up with a small book.

"Qiangzi, what are you going to eat today?" Uncle Zhou greeted warmly.

Xin Qing asked, "Hello, don't you have a menu?"

"This girl is stunned when she looks at it. Uncle Zhou smiled kindly: "The people who come to me are all regular customers, so I don't have a menu." ”

Lin Dingqiang began to order dishes based on his previous experience, "One plate of sheep's tail oil, grinding crotch, shutters, and sheep's brain." Look at the lamb skewers. ”

"If you're done, you'll be fine!"

Not long after the order was placed, three copper stoves with charcoal and water were served. At the same time, the sesame paste, soy tofu and leek flowers, known as the three treasures of shabu mutton, also appeared in front of the trio.

Lin Dingqiang divided some sesame paste into himself, scooped a spoonful of leek flowers and soy tofu soup, and stirred it up.

Xin Qing and Zhao Lei didn't make a move, and watched Lin Dingqiang's movements directly.

"What's wrong? there's something on my face?" asked Lin Dingqiang.

Zhao Lei lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "Boss, how do you adjust this thing?"

"Haven't eaten it?"

Zhao Lei's eyes showed a helpless look, and she said truthfully: "I always wanted to eat, but as soon as I opened my eyes, the rent was pressed on my shoulders." Reluctant. ”

After hearing this, Lin Dingqiang could understand Zhao Lei, who had just joined the work, and the salary was not high, plus he was not from the capital, so he was naturally not very wealthy.

But he looked at Xin Qing, who was as steady as Mount Tai and immovable, and asked, "What is the situation with you, Mr. Xin? Didn't you say that you wanted to come to eat mutton shabu?"
