Liu Chen talked about emotional matters, and he educated Xiaodong before, but in fact, he only experienced a first love in his life, but he was lucky to meet a rare girl like Li Rongfei, and his first love became a lifelong love, and many of his personal views on feelings only stayed at the theoretical level.

Wu Sheng just wanted to say something and express his opinion, when suddenly the waiter came up with two plates of cold dishes, "Kelp shreds and peanuts, two gentlemen, please use them slowly, other dishes are being prepared." ”

"Okay, thank you. Liu Chen smiled and nodded to the waiter.

Wu Sheng was stunned at the right time, as if after some discussion just now, the girl who served them was Tang Xishi, and he even smelled the perfume wafting from the girl, which was the same brand as Tang Xishi.

Seeing that Wu Sheng was staying there, Liu Chen picked up the chopsticks and gently tapped his forehead: "It's time to eat, what are you thinking!"

"Well, it's nothing, hehe, eat!" Wu Sheng came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, picked up the bottle opener and opened six bottles of beer in a row, three bottles for one person to appetize first.

Beer is like drinking water to them, and it is a simple and ultimate treat to drink half a bottle in one gulp, take a few peanuts and throw them into their mouths, and add a handful of delicious and sour kelp shreds.

After a while, the hard dishes in the back came up one after another, and the two of them ordered eight dishes, Wu Sheng was surprised: "Why did you order so many dishes, how can the two of them finish eating." ”

"Eight dishes, a good luck. Liu Chen said with a smile, but from the fact that he replied to messages from time to time, it seemed that it was not just as simple as trying to be auspicious.

"Brother Liu, who are you messaging with, sister-in-law?By the way, have they eaten yet?" Wu Sheng asked tentatively, deliberately focusing his attention on Li Rongfei and them.

"They've already eaten, and there will be another one later, otherwise you really think I'm trying to order eight dishes for an auspicious day, haha." Seeing that Wu Sheng was so curious, Liu Chen still revealed a little bit to him.

Wu Sheng was surprised: "It turns out that there is a mysterious guest, who?"

Liu Chen made a secret gesture: "It's still called a mysterious guest when you say it, you'll know when she appears." ”

Wu Sheng was unwilling: "It's okay for men and women to reveal it, right?"

"Guess what. ”

"Look at the dishes you ordered, but you didn't add wine, the person who came should be a woman, and she won't drink. Wu Sheng analyzed it seriously.

"Hehe, the logical analysis ability is still quite good. Liu Chen looked at Wu Sheng with a wicked smile, but his eyes bypassed Wu Sheng, and then a girl's voice came from behind Wu Sheng, "Although you guessed my gender, I can drink." ”

Wu Sheng looked back and saw that it was the famous Huadan Zhao Mengran, the head of the Jiangxia Evening News! He hurriedly got up and greeted: "It turned out to be Reporter Zhao, I really didn't expect it, haha, come and sit here." ”

Wu Sheng took the initiative to move a chair for Zhao Mengran and served a pair of dishes and chopsticks, as if he was entertaining guests at his own home, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, which made Zhao Mengran embarrassed.

"Thank you, thank you. Zhao Mengran put his bag on the chair and nodded in thanks.

Liu Chen saw that Zhao Mengran didn't have the car key in his hand, so he asked casually, "You came by taxi?"

Zhao Mengran picked up the chopsticks and chewed a peanut: "Yes, you said to drink, then I won't drive, I can't drink when I drive the car." ”

"It seems that Reporter Zhao is prepared, haha, I want to see how much you drink at that moment, by the way, what kind of wine do you drink? Red and white beer?" As soon as Zhao Mengran came, Wu Sheng suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.

"It's the same as you, beer, it's better to compare. Zhao Mengran's words seem to be bland, but they are actually domineering.

"Yo, listening to Reporter Zhao's tone, I am full of confidence. Wu Sheng turned his head and shouted at the boss, "Boss, give us a case of cold beer!"

Wu Sheng shouted a box directly, thinking that Zhao Mengran would be startled, but he didn't expect Zhao Mengran to chew peanuts, unusually calm, and there was no wave in his heart.

Wu Sheng directly opened three bottles and put them in front of Zhao Mengran, and said excitedly: "Reporter Zhao, these three bottles of yours, we have opened three bottles first." ”

"Okay. Zhao Mengran picked up a bottle of beer, filled her wine glass, and as the last person to arrive, she took the initiative to do it first: "I salute you two with this cup." As soon as he finished speaking, he took a sip of the wine.

Such a bold wine style made Wu Sheng like it very much, and he didn't think about it, but also dried the wine in the wine glass.

Liu Chen was more restrained, he persuaded: "You drink slowly, Wusheng don't take advantage of other girls, Reporter Zhao, you eat some food first, don't drink as soon as you come." ”

Just as the waiter served three plates of hot dishes, Liu Chen beckoned: "Reporter Zhao, eat some hot dishes to cushion your stomach." ”

Wu Sheng was also embarrassed to play the role of taking advantage, and said with Liu Chen: "Yes, eat some food, you can drink wine slowly." ”

"It's okay, let's eat together. Zhao Mengran was a little embarrassed when she saw that the two of them only beckoned her to eat vegetables, she looked at the three dishes on the table and asked, "A few of the dishes you ordered are home-cooked dishes, there is a special dish of the provincial city here, and you must not be able to eat it in the river." ”

"What kind of dish?" asked Liu Chen and Wu Sheng, who were from Jiangxia, in unison.

"Vinegar fish, there should be one here, I'll take a look. Zhao Mengran got up and walked to the food stall.

Zhao Mengran came to the store to take a look, and then went to the boss to ask about this dish, and after exchanging a few words, he came over with a smile, it seems that there should be this dish.

Suddenly, Zhao Mengran rang because of the mobile phone, and when she took the mobile phone, she accidentally bumped into several men who were drinking and making noise on the side, and she hurriedly apologized to them: "I'm sorry." ”

The men looked at Zhao Mengran, their eyes were full of evil thoughts, Zhao Mengran saw that they didn't react, thinking that they didn't care, so he continued to walk to the seat and sit down.

Liu Chen asked casually, "What happened just now?"

"I accidentally touched their table, and it was fine. Zhao Mengran brushed his hair, picked up chopsticks and continued to eat.

Liu Chen looked at the few drinking men on the table who had just been bumped into by Zhao Mengran, and found that one of the men facing this side had been looking at him with an unhappy gaze, Liu Chen smiled disdainfully at him, and continued to drink and eat.

Wu Sheng ate a few bites of food, and then picked up the wine glass to toast, "By the way, Reporter Zhao, why are you in the provincial capital today, aren't you working under the river." ”

Zhao Mengran replied with a smile: "Hehe, I'm a reporter, of course I have to run around, and now my scope of activities is not limited to Jiangxia." ”

Liu Chen reminded: "Reporter Zhao is a native of the provincial capital. ”

"Really, then let me ask Reporter Zhao a question, do you recognize a person named Xu Zhangtai?" Wu Sheng happened to take this opportunity to ask this native of the provincial capital about some things about the provincial capital.

"Xu Zhangtai?" Zhao Mengran muttered, searching for the name in his mind.

In order to help Zhao Mengran recall, Liu Chen added: "He is the actual controller of Hongtianxia Investment Company. ”

After Liu Chen's reminder, a fixed name and impression finally appeared in Zhao Mengran's mind: "Oh, you are talking about that Xu Zhangtai, I recognize that Hongtianxia Investment Company has been rated as an investment model company, and I also came to the provincial capital as the only reporter in Jiangxia City to do an interview." ”

Wu Sheng said in surprise: "Such a coincidence, then you must know this person." ”

Zhao Mengran shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know each other very well, we just exchanged some questions about the company's business and future prospects." ”

Liu Chen shook his wine glass and said, "Then tell me about their company's business and future plans." ”

Zhao Mengran recalled the original interview and said: "Their company's strength in the provincial capital is also very strong, to become a model company, will become the most important support and care of the unit, there are huge preferential policies, their business scope is quite wide, in addition to the main business in the construction industry, there are entertainment industry, wine industry, tourism, Internet industry, in the future they will also develop in accordance with the direction of diversification and high-end." ”

"It's so wide-ranging. Liu Chen muttered, he made a preliminary cognition and judgment of this Hongtianxia company in his heart, assuming that this company becomes a competitor, in the construction industry, it will become the opponent of Xingchen and Qin Si's Tianhe Group, in the entertainment industry will become the opponent of Roman, and in the wine industry will become the opponent of Starlight and the jungle tribe, that is to say, the development and growth of Hongtianxia Investment Company will hinder the development of Liu Chen and his friends, this opponent has to be taken seriously.

At present, this company Hu Bingcheng has a stake, that is, Hu Bingcheng's resources, and once this company cooperates with Sun Quan's Hongyu and some other competitors in the future, it will become a huge threat in terms of business layout.

Now that Hongtianxia is involved, Liu Chen plans to take advantage of Manager Cao's incident to give him a little color to avoid endless troubles in the future.

"Did you do a background check on this company before the interview?" Liu Chen then asked.

"Yes, but these are basically some public information, and nothing has been investigated. Zhao Mengran spread his hands and made a regretful expression.

Liu Chen thought for a while and revealed: "In the information that has been publicized, one of the shareholders of Hongtianxia is Jinyue Holdings, do you know about this company?"

"Jinyue Holdings? Zhao Mengran thought about it for a while and had no impression of the company Jinyue Holdings.

As a native of the provincial capital, and also a professional reporter, I didn't even dig out the information of Jinyue Holdings, it seems that this company is indeed low-key, but the more low-key it is, the more hidden it is.
