A lot of people love the polar night.

The dark night sky, the scattered stars, the silent environment, feel the most primitive side of nature.

Qiao Zhi prefers the night of the sea of clouds.

He's a chef and prefers the smell of human fireworks.

The high-rise buildings are hung with brilliant lanterns, and the lights are controlled by computer programs to transform into a highly visually effective show.

On the sparkling river, the sound of cruise ships is loud, and there are crowds of people standing on the deck, admiring the prosperous night scene created by the towers.

Qiao Zhi and Tao Ruxue were hiding in one of the buildings at the moment, hiding behind the light curtain, looking down on the prosperity of the sea of clouds from another angle.

Qiao Zhi and Tao Ruxue had a rather romantic meal at a restaurant on the Bund.

When paying, Tao Ruxue took the initiative to ask the waiter for the bill. Of course, Qiao Zhi disagreed, and asked the waiter for the bill. In the end, Tao Ruxue proposed to let the waiter choose to pay from one of the two.

Qiao Zhi originally thought that the waiter would definitely choose himself, but he didn't expect the waiter to choose Tao Ruxue in the end.

Tao Ruxue took out her credit card and handed it to the waiter, who took the POS machine, entered the amount, and Tao Ruxue pressed the password.

Qiao Zhi was so angry that his face turned purple, and he simply ignored Tao Ruxue.

Tao Ruxue chased after several steps behind and didn't keep up, so she could only use the bitter scene and fell to the ground with an ouch.

Qiao Zhi turned around and saw Tao Ruxue sitting on the ground, looking at him pitifully, rubbing her ankles.

Although she knew that she might be acting, she remembered that she had an old ankle injury when she ran last time, so she walked towards Tao Ruxue.

Qiao Zhi was just about to help Tao Ruxue up, Tao Ruxue put her arms around Qiao Zhi's neck and bit the earlobe of Qiao Zhi's right ear.

Qiao Zhi took two steps back, rubbed his ears with grinned teeth, and looked at Tao Ruxue angrily.

Tao Ruxue glared at Qiao Zhi without showing weakness, "Why do you feel wronged? I bite you, a white-eyed wolf." I came to you from thousands of miles to eat with you, and you still have a cold war with me, and you are still not a man?"

Qiao Zhi rubbed his ears and found that he didn't bite it, so he couldn't cry or laugh, "I kindly wanted to invite you to dinner, but you didn't give me a chance." What do people think of me?"

"What can I think of you?" Tao Ruxue realized that Qiao Zhi felt that his pride had been humiliated.

In fact, Qiao Zhi's self-esteem is very strong, especially when he is with himself, it will become very obvious.

She suddenly regretted a little, she shouldn't have rushed to pay for it before.

"I think this man has no bottom line, and he actually makes a woman pay for a meal. After Qiao Zhi said this, he found that he was a little small-bellied.

In front of Tao Ruxue, there is no need to hide anything.

Tao Ruxue stared at Qiao Zhi quietly, "Do you know why the waiter chose to let me pay instead of choosing to let you pay?"

"You must have told the waiter something in private. Qiao Zhi remembered that Tao Ruxue got up halfway to go to the bathroom and made up her makeup, presumably because she had done something at that time.

"Don't think of people as so insidious, okay?" Tao Ruxue's beautiful eyes rolled, "It can only show that the waiter is smarter, and he knows the nominal relationship between the two of us." ”

Qiao Zhi was slightly stunned, "Husband and wife?"

Tao Ruxue smiled and said, "If the two of us are boyfriend and girlfriend, of course you will pay for it." But if we're husband and wife, who do you think pays? From the waiter's point of view, he takes care of your dignity, that's why I choose to pay. ”

Married man's

The wallet is in the care of the wife!

It turned out to be this stalk!

Qiao Zhi suddenly realized, "Alas, it seems that the status of married men is in jeopardy, this is no longer a personal situation, but a common phenomenon in society." ”

Tao Ruxue snorted lightly and said, "Then you still don't apologize to me?"

Qiao Zhi smiled, suddenly walked to Tao Ruxue's side, and hugged her in his arms.

Tao Ruxue struggled twice, and simply leaned her face against his chest.

Although the weather was cold and the cold wind continued to pour in from his neckline, Qiao Zhi felt warm in his chest.

Tao Ruxue found that she was suddenly a little dependent, and the breath coming from Qiao Zhi's body was not a perfume smell, but a unique masculine smell.

Is this what hormones taste like?

Not far away, a cruise ship passed by the Huangpu River, Qiao Zhi looked at the advertisement on the hull of the ship, and said with a smile: "The advertisements for the King of Chefs are all here." ”

Tao Ruxue followed his line of sight, "I won't accompany you in the finals." ”

Qiao Zhi bowed slightly, "Well, you are waiting for my good news at home." ”

The two were somewhere on the Bund, snuggling up to each other, like many couples, enjoying the night view and feeling each other's body temperature.

"What are we now, are we in love?" Qiao Zhi asked.

"Don't think about it. We're just living together. Tao Ruxue said stiffly.

"Live your life, live your life, and your days will pass...... No, there is affection. Older generation, aren't they all like this?" Qiao Zhi said with a smile.

"It is also possible that the days will become more and more uncomfortable, and even hateful. Look at my parents. "Tao Ruxue is a pessimist.

"Then why don't you take my parents as a reference? After so many years, although the two of them have blushed, they will definitely not part. Qiao Zhi didn't expect to be able to discuss issues with Tao Ruxue so calmly.

"Whether to disperse or not depends on the two of us. I don't know how others are doing, but we are certainly not so harmonious. Tao Ruxue pushed Qiao Zhi away and stared at him in a daze, "It's not early, I have to stand at the high-speed rail station." ”

Qiao Zhi thought about it and didn't continue to keep it.

He knew that Tao Ruxue would not change anything once he decided.

Afraid of missing the shift, he took the subway with Tao Ruxue to the high-speed rail station, and when Tao Ruxue passed through the ticket gate, Qiao Zhi suddenly felt a little reluctant.

Tao Ruxue felt something, stood at the top of the stairs, turned around, and waved her hand at Qiao Zhi, tears like broken threads.

Qiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh, stupid woman, it's just a parting, in a few days, we will be able to meet, why is she crying?

It's not the first time I've seen her cry, but for some reason, this time, it's particularly throbbing.

used to be obsessed with Tao Ruxue, but I was more intoxicated by her appearance.

Now what he is attached to is the magnetic field that seems to exist between the two.

Waiting for the announcement of the news of the departure of the high-speed rail, Qiao Zhi left.

Qiao Zhi would send a message to Tao Ruxue every few minutes, and Tao Ruxue would also reply to him every once in a while.

This way, from the high-speed rail station to the hotel, from the sea of clouds to Qiongjin, the time is not long at all.

......

Du Xingwu has already determined Guo Zhiyong's strength from that note.

From a huge amount of intelligence, using data to calculate probabilities, and finally draw conclusions, this is the ability of actuaries.

He finally knew why Jin Peixuan hired two people with a high salary, and also invested 30 million yuan to prepare for this chef competition

Make a big profit.

Guo Zhiyong's strength also has a great probability of guessing the result of the finals, so as long as he follows the vote, he can become a millionaire overnight.

Now that the opportunity is there, what is lacking is money.

Two million is an astronomical amount for Du Xingwu.

He originally planned to raise 500,000 yuan, but if it wasn't for 2 million, Guo Zhiyong wouldn't have recruited him at all.

Now it is imperative to raise funds, and the people around him who have a good relationship have already reached out to borrow money, Du Xingwu flipped out his mobile phone and thoughtfully flipped through the address book.

In the end, Du Xingwu locked on a name - Gao Yang.

Gao Yang has always shown favor to himself, although there were some small problems before, as long as he took the initiative, the contradictions and knots in his heart can be opened.

Gao Yang is also a very utilitarian woman, and if she can explain the stakes, she will definitely be driven by interests.

A plan was formed in his mind in an instant, Du Xingwu opened WeChat and tried to send her an emoji, and found that she did not block herself?

"What's the matter?" Gao Yang didn't expect Du Xingwu to take the initiative to contact him, and scolded straw bales in his heart.

"One of the most important things we met at the café on the third floor. ”

"It's getting late. ”

"Now, if you lose this opportunity, you will regret it. ”

Du Xingwu didn't wait for Gao Yang to reply to him, put on his clothes and went out.

After waiting for a few minutes at the café, Gao Yang appeared in a blue jacket, shiny black leather pants, and a pair of brown wedge leather boots.

There are traces of freshly applied makeup on his face, and the red lips on his mouth are delicate.

"Say, give you five minutes. Gao Yang said indifferently.

"I'll show you something, and you must keep it secret. Du Xingwu pushed the note to Gao Yang.

After Gao Yang saw it, he smiled disdainfully, "I also have a copy of the list of the finalists of the King of Chef Competition." By the way, you forgot one person in this part, our old classmate Qiao Zhi. ”

Du Xingwu took back the note and said in a low voice: "What if I tell you that I got this note five hours in advance?"

Gao Yang was incredulous and said with a smile: "Don't brag, do you still have the ability to predict the future?"

Du Xingwu took out his mobile phone, "I know you are cautious, and I will show you another thing." ”

He pulled up his phone's photo album and locked on one of the photos, "Look at the time of the photos!"

Gao Yang's face really changed greatly, "Did you really guess the list of finals in advance?"

Du Xingwu nodded heavily, "That's right." If I knew the winner of the final in advance, what chance do you think?"

"What chance can there be?" Gao Yang felt that Du Xingwu must have some way to operate in the dark.

Du Xingwu saw that Gao Yang was not very familiar with spinach, and patiently explained: "Every time the king of chefs competes, there will be some spinach companies that open markets and attract a lot of money. What do you think would happen if we knew the outcome of the final and placed our bets in advance?"

"Gambling?" Gao Yang's face changed slightly, and she instinctively felt that there was a risk involved.

Du Xingwu knew that Gao Yang had already moved, and continued to instigate, "My little boss has hired an actuary, and he is ready to use this conference to make a small profit. As for me, I am honored to be trusted and reused by the small boss and get a quota of three million. If you can give me 1.5 million, in two days, I can give you 5 million. Of course, there are certain risks involved. For the sake of your old classmates, I gave you a chance to make a fortune. ”
