Seeing off Meiling, Xu Hexiang sat on the balcony, facing the sunset, drinking tea and contemplating.

Xu Hui bought some daily necessities from the supermarket, walked in, and saw that Xu Hexiang was not in a very good mood, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Hexiang turned around, waved his hand and shook his head: "It's nothing!"

Xu Hui knows her father's personality very well, "Mei Ling is not satisfied with Su Tao?"

Xu Hexiang said: "Huaxia Food Magazine is the organizer of the King of Chefs Competition, and has the right to recommend two outstanding chefs to directly enter the final stage. I recommended Qiao Zhi to them, but Mei Ling didn't think he was the most suitable person. ”

Xu Hexiang is an extremely righteous person, Qiao Zhi has been helping him many times, and he is always thinking about finding an opportunity to repay him.

The reason why Xu Hexiang's reputation in the food industry is very good is that he is low-key and humble. Therefore, the candidates he can recommend will naturally attract Mei Ling's attention.

Otherwise, Meiling would not have come all the way by high-speed rail, waiting in a long queue for dozens of minutes, just to have a lunch.

It's a pity that Mei Ling finally hesitated and didn't adopt Xu Hexiang's opinion.

Xu Hui said with a smile: "If you don't recommend it, forget it." Qiao Zhi is a grain of gold, whether he participates in the King Chef competition or not, he can succeed. ”

Xu Hexiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I just think that the atmosphere in the Chinese catering industry is not good now, and if it goes on like this, sooner or later it will encounter difficulties." Chinese food culture has always been famous for its hundreds of schools of thought, but with the development of the past few years, many traditional foods have faded out of everyone's sight, and even some have disappeared completely. ”

Xu Hui said: "There must be a reason for the things that have been eliminated. ”

Xu Hexiang glanced at Xu Hui deeply, "Traditional culture must be inherited. The reason why the Chinese nation can rise at the bottom of the valley is precisely because of the integrity of civilization. Food is an indispensable part of Chinese culture. ”

Xu Hui knows what her father's ideals are, but many young people are already difficult to understand, and they will feel that their father's ideas are outdated.

She lamented: "With the acceleration of the pace of human life, everyone's pursuit of food has become extremely simple, or extremely crude. The reason why French food is recognized all over the world is because the French can spend hours waiting for one dish to be served. ”

Xu Hexiang sighed: "Over the years, "Chinese Food" has been working hard to promote Chinese cuisine on the world stage, and the theme of this selection is to select a group of elites to compete with those French chefs, but the impetuous dining atmosphere of Huaxia now determines that there are too few chefs who can study the dishes quietly." Most chefs focus on their busy backrooms rather than on crafting a dish. ”

Xu Hui sighed and said, "You mean, Mei Ling chose to give up on Qiao Zhi because he was not dedicated enough to food?"

"That's right, it's a pity. Xu Hexiang looked at the swaying willow branches in the distance and said regretfully.

can understand Mei Ling's choice, but Qiao Zhi has infinite potential and should not be buried.

......

Inside a sophisticated and luxurious café.

Han Bin was wearing a suit shirt, his eyes slightly closed, enjoying the melodious music in his ears.

He misses the time when he studied abroad in the UK, not only free, but also indulgent.

There are some women who can let go around them, whether they are Chinese or foreigners, as long as they rub sparks with each other in an instant, the next second the two may appear in the hotel room.

Unlike in China today, if you want to solve physiological problems, you have to spend money or energy.

The female boss of the café is a rich second generation who returned from France, the two got acquainted at a party and added friends to each other, Han Bin did not choose to take the initiative to attack, on the one hand, because he is now mainly focused on Tao Ruxue, on the other hand, he remains deliberately estranged, which can often arouse the favor of the other party.

The landlady gave her a hand-ground cappuccino and laughed that he could get it free today.

Han Bin said thank you very casually.

For this kind of signal, Han Bin must remain acquiescing.

If you are a novice, you may feel embarrassed to be exempt and appear to be ungentlemanly, but for a veteran in the love field, this is an opportunity for the other party to deliberately stay.

From a psychological point of view, when you owe a favor to others, you will have a reason to invite the other party back, you invite me, I invite you, come and go, and the relationship between each other can develop from a one-sided friendship to a deeper level.

The welcome wind chime rang at the door, and a sturdy man flashed in, his eyes subconsciously scanned the surroundings, he was a person who was particularly vigilant and sensitive to unfamiliar environments.

Han Bin beckoned to the man, "This way." ”

The man pressed the black baseball cap on his head, sat opposite Han Bin, and said unhappily: "Doctor Han, didn't I tell you? My job is special, if there is nothing particularly important, just contact me on the phone." ”

Han Bin took out an envelope from his bag, pushed it to the man's hand, and smiled easily: "Some things are still handed over to you in person, I am more relieved." ”

The man pinched the envelope in his hand and weighed the thickness, and unceremoniously stuffed it into the pocket of his trench coat, his expression and tone were much better, "So polite? ”

Han Bin cut a small piece of cake with a knife, put it in his mouth with a fork, tasted the sweetness in his mouth, and swallowed it in his stomach, "I have already given you the money for those photos last time." The money that was just given to you is an advance payment for the next task. ”

The man's face sank, and he wanted to take the envelope out of his bag, but no one was willing to spit out what he had eaten in his stomach.

"What task? If it's too difficult, or if it's unreasonable, or if it's against the law, I can't take it. The man lifted the brim of his baseball cap, and a striking scar on his forehead flashed away.

Han Bin put the knife and fork on the plate and clasped his hands together, "Of course." It's not as exaggerated as you think, I just want him to lose everything. ”

The man picked up the lemonade on the table, took a sip, and sneered in a low voice, "No accident, it's still the actor you asked me to take secretly last time, right?"

"That's right. A yin smile appeared on the corner of Han Bin's mouth, "He opened a canteen, which has just opened recently, and the business is quite good." What is the most afraid of opening a restaurant, please give him something......"

The man looked at Han Bin complicatedly, "What kind of hatred do you have with him?"

"Kill your father's revenge!" Han Bin half-joked.

The man sighed and sighed, "No wonder! Don't worry, I can still handle this little thing." ”

Things were about the same, and the man left the café in a low-key manner.

Han Bin likes to eat desserts, but at this moment he suddenly lost all interest in the other pastries on the table.

Han Bin knew that he was an out-and-out sinister villain now, but he couldn't forget Tao Ruxue's smile.

If she leaves herself and marries into a wealthy family, Han Bin may still be able to balance in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Tao Ruxue married a poor sour boy who was unknown and had just graduated.

When Tao Ruxue cried to himself in an emotional breakdown, he only felt that his heart was torn apart.

He felt that he should do something for Tao Ruxue.

If Tao Ruxue divorced that poor sour boy now, Han Bin would not hesitate to propose to her.

People are most afraid of being in this kind of fragmented emotional state, and accidentally mistakenly thinking that they are saintly, and they can be moved by themselves.

Flipping through the Omega watch worth more than 40,000 yuan on her wrist, there is only one minute left before the agreed time with Tao Ruxue, and with Han Bin's understanding of her, she will always get stuck.

Tao Ruxue is used to it, everywhere she goes, all eyes are focused on herself.

She quickly found Han Bin's position and sat opposite, the waiter came over and asked softly, "What do you need?"

Han Bin said with a smile: "A cup of latte, another dessert on the table." ”

Tao Ruxue had a calm face and said to the waiter: "No need, I'll leave later." ”

The waiter looked at Han Bin suspiciously, although Han Bin was a little embarrassed, he still nodded to the waiter in a gentlemanly manner, suggesting that she could leave.

"What's the matter?, is there something urgent?" Han Bin said with concern.

"This thing is being returned to you as it is. Tao Ruxue's face sank like water, and she threw the envelope containing the photo in front of Han Bin.

The facial features are delicate and three-dimensional, and the eyes are cold and arrogant.

Han Bin looked at Tao Ruxue in surprise and smiled awkwardly, "What do you mean?"

Tao Ruxue said seriously: "If the heroine of the photo is someone else, I may believe in the authenticity of the photo." But the object is my sister, I know her character very well, and I will never do ugly things that make people point fingers and poke behind their backs.

Han Bin, I originally thought you were a very warm person, but I didn't expect you to have too many intrigues in your stomach. If one of these photos is scattered outside, I'm sure I'll hold you accountable.

Please keep your distance from me in the future, and don't let some of the good memories that still exist in my past disappear completely. We may still be able to get along as normal friends. ”

After Tao Ruxue said this, she gently picked up the handbag in the next place and walked towards the door without looking back.

"Ru Xue, listen to my explanation, don't go......"

Han Bin wanted to keep Tao Ruxue, but in the end he didn't have the courage to take action.

Her image in Tao Ruxue's heart must be very bad now, and the matter of secretly releasing medicine before was once exposed by Qiao Zhi, and now she has arranged for someone to investigate her husband and sister......

Although it is for Tao Ruxue's good, it always feels a little sinister and despicable.

Han Bin had a feeling that stealing chickens and rice would not be successful, and he was annoyed that he had forgotten that Tao Ruxue's self-esteem was particularly strong, especially in terms of protecting his family, and he never retreated.

Qiao Zhi may be just an outsider in vain to her.

But Tao Rushuang is her own sister, how can she not protect her sister's reputation as an older sister?

Quarrel behind closed doors, and open the door will be unanimous to the outside world.

However, Tao Ruxue's refusal stimulated Han Bin's male instinct.

He will never give up easily.

Looking at the half-drunk coffee on the table tastelessly, Han Bin took out a few banknotes from his wallet and pressed them under the coffee cup, and left depressed and low-key.
