Chapter 200: Windfall
This is a meal, and it also feeds the problem of national integrity.
It took nearly two hours for a meal, even with food, and the amount of food that Celis ate suddenly came up, and several dishes were eaten cleanly.
When I had finished settling the bill, I said to Selyse, "That's it for noon, and I'll take you to a real meal in the evening." β
She blinked her sapphire eyes, "yes! I'm looking forward to your feast!"
When I came out of the hotel and returned home, the people of the renovation team had already prepared the materials and were waiting at the door of the building.
I took them to the elevator and came to the house, and they immediately threw themselves into the work, each with their own division of labor, and in an orderly manner, they patched up the big holes in the wall, then scraped putty, painted white, cleaned up the remaining garbage, and then spread the same wall cloth as the other walls, which took less than three hours.
Before leaving, the foreman gave me a business card and instructed me: "Boss, the first floor should be ventilated for two days, the windows should not be closed, and formaldehyde should be placed by the way. In the future, if you have something to do, contact me directly, and come over to help you with your work. β
After seeing off the workers, I went to the glass room, where Celis was sitting in a rocking chair watching the sun set.
I went over and tapped her on the shoulder, "What do you want?
When I went out, it was a little windy, "Why is it that the autumn of your Divine Dragon Continent is colder than that of the Giant Eagle Continent?"
I took off the blue trench coat on my body and put it on her, "Don't complain about the cold, it's almost winter, why are you still wearing clothes that expose your belly button, can it not be cold?"
She wrapped my clothes tightly, "You're a gentleman. β
I took a taxi and took her to the most luxurious western restaurant in Rendezvous, and tonight I was ready to bleed. Unexpectedly, she stood at the door and didn't go inside.
She looked up at the glass-walled restaurant, "You're going to bring me here to eat this?
I nodded, "This is the most upscale western restaurant in the whole dragon capital." β
"Western food, I grew up eating Western food. I've already had enough food in the Giant Eagle Continent, do you want me to come here thousands of miles away and eat these foods that can be found everywhere in the Giant Eagle Continent?"
She has a point, what people eat every day, and the Western food in her country must be more authentic than here.
"Okay, even if I don't think it through, it's okay, how about we go to eat hot pot? β
I took Celis to the most famous copper hot pot in Rendezvous, which was full of charcoal, the lamb was hand-cut by the master, the vegetables were the freshest of the day, and the sesame sauce was freshly squeezed.
"Can you eat chili?"
"I don't usually eat too stimulating food at home, so a little bit shouldn't matter. β
"If you don't eat chili peppers in hot pot, it won't taste good, so let's have a slight spicy, okay?"
Celis nodded and agreed.
As soon as the hot pot was served, I regretted it again, if nothing else, Selise couldn't use chopsticks, and I had to feed her.
I taught her the posture and force of the chopsticks, I don't know if she doesn't want to learn, or Benzen can't learn, anyway, the chopsticks are always tied to the food to eat, the waiter used a colander to take the cooked food out of the copper hot pot and put it on the plate in front of Selis, I picked up the food on the plate and put it in her dipping bowl, "Eat!"
She looks like a praying mantis, holding a chopstick in one hand and putting food in her mouth.
"If you don't eat a few bites like this, the food will be cold, and the most particular thing about hot pot is that it is hot, and you have to practice holding chopsticks. β
"Forget it today, you better feed me!, okay?"
"Okay, I'm scared of you. β
I picked up the food, wrapped it lightly in a small bowl of dipping sauce, and then held the food with my other hand underneath, for fear that the dipping sauce would drip on her clothes, just like feeding a child, one bite at a time.
"It's so spicy!
I looked at the waiter, "Let's have an ice coke!"
When the Coke came, she raised her head and drank it down, and gave a huge comfortable burp.
"Waiter, is there a big bucket of ice Coke?"
The waiter went to pick it up right away.
At this time, my mobile phone rang, and it was Zhang Qingyu calling.
"Brother, have you eaten?"
I glanced at Selyse, "I'm eating, you're off work?"
Zhang Qingyu said in a coquettish tone: "Well, I'll go to you, okay?"
I thought about it, "You have to go to work tomorrow, I have something to do in a while, you can eat by yourself and go home early to rest!"
"You're inconvenient?"
"I'm a long way from where you live and where you work, and when you come, I should go. β
"Okay, then you eat slowly. β
I hung up and Celis looked at me, "Is that your fiancΓ©e?"
"No, it's my sister. β
"Oh, I didn't know you had a sister. β
"She's not my own sister, she's a godsister!"
Cylise bit her chopsticks and shook her head, "I don't understand." β
I didn't want to go on this topic, so I asked her, "Where do you want to go after eating?"
She still bit her chopsticks and looked up with her eyes, "I want to see the night view of Longdu and visit the night market of Longdu." β
"Okay, I haven't bothered to see the night here for so long, so let's leave after dinner. β
Celis put down her chopsticks, "Then let's go! β
I took out the contents of the pot and put it directly into my bowl, "There are still so many things that have not been cooked, our country is proud of being thrifty and thrifty, you wait for me for a while, and it will be finished soon." β
She sat in a chair with her chin in her hands and watched me eat there.
"Why do you think of me like that? You look at me shyly. β
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, "It's nothing, I just think you look so manly when you eat." β
I smiled, "Don't fool me, I know you mean to say that I don't have a gentleman's degree for dinner, right?"
"No, I really think that the way you eat makes others feel very appetizing, even if the food is average, you can eat it very deliciously, and there is a feeling of enjoyment. β
I wiped my mouth with a napkin, "You're still the first person to say that, no wonder everyone loves to watch food broadcasts on the Internet now, and it turns out that watching others eat is also a kind of enjoyment." β
After settling the account, the two of us directly gave up taking a taxi, intending to go somewhere.
When I passed by a women's clothing store, I offered to buy her a warm dress, and she looked at the clothes in the window and agreed.
After entering, she insisted on picking out a white shirt, blue jeans, and a royal blue women's trench coat. When I came down, I looked particularly heroic. The clothes are not expensive, Selise's natural clothes rack, all the clothes with the same number, seem to be tailor-made for her, and they fit and are generous.
She took a picture in front of the dressing mirror, and I stood next to it and looked, wasn't it similar to what I was wearing? I was also wearing a royal blue trench coat, and I was also wearing a white shirt underneath, but the pants were dark blue suit pants. Cylise wore a pair of tall boots, and stood there, as tall as me.
The two of us walked like this on the street, and the rate of turning heads was quite high.
When I passed by the square, I saw a group of people standing around a bald man, and in the spirit of watching the excitement, I and Selise also stood over.
The bald man inserted the microphone into the speaker, then propped up a stand more than half a person high, sat on the platform by the fountain, held a wooden guitar with paint off, played it, tuned it, and then began to sing. The people around him just stood and listened quietly. After the song, everyone applauded, then took out the change on their bodies and put it in the guitar case next to the speaker.
I thought the bald man's voice was perfect for singing the song written by my late boyfriend on a summer night, so I stood there and listened to four or five songs. It wasn't until the people around him slowly dispersed that the bald man began to pack up his speaker equipment.
I walked up to him, "Hello, can you get acquainted?"
Without even lifting his head, he put the guitar in the case and received the microphone and speakers into the trolley case.
"I'm the boss of Galaxy Entertainment, and there is a song that is especially suitable for you to sing, I wonder if you are interested in joining us?"
"Nope. After speaking, he picked up his guitar, pulled up the lever, and walked in the direction of the subway station without looking back.
I looked at his back and said to myself, "What a weirdo who would rather sing in the square than join a regular company where I can train him." β
"He's actually sick. β
A girl walked up to me, looked at the bald back, and muttered.
I looked at the girl and said, "What's wrong with him?"
The girl's eyes were full of tears, "Leukemia, the doctor said he only has three months to live." β
I looked at Celis, "Is leukemia hard to treat?"
Celis nodded, "There must be a suitable bone marrow, or a matching hematopoietic stem cell transplant, but the cost of surgery is relatively expensive in any country. β
I looked at the little girl, "Who is that person?"
Her teary-eyed little eyes looked at me, "He's my brother." β
"Can you take me to him?"
Celis and I followed the little girl to the hospital, and the bald man had changed into a hospital gown, lay on the hospital bed, picked up an orange in his hand, approached his nose and smelled it, and put it aside.
"Brother. β
The little girl ran over, and the bald man touched the little girl's head, "Where did you run away at night?"
The little girl looked at me, and the bald man followed the little girl's gaze to me.
"You've seen my situation, I'm not interested in your company. β
I sat down in a chair beside his bed, "Then I'll talk about something that interests you!
"It's a pity, it's a pity, but I've only had three months, what's the use of a pity?"
I looked at him, then at the little girl, "What about your parents?"
"Dead. "When he said he died, it was very prosaic, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"And what will happen to your sister if you die?"
He touched the little girl's hair, "I've already contacted the orphanage." β
"I have one thing that I'm sure you're particularly interested in. β
He looked at me with a blank gaze, and I said to him: "I told you, I am the owner of an entertainment company, I have a lot of music producers and singers in my hands, and your voice is definitely the most colorful song I have ever heard. β
"What business?"
"I have a song in my hand that you sang that is absolutely popular, if you are willing to go to my company to record a song, I will give you half of any income from this song in the future, how about it?"
He looked at me in disbelief, "Really?"
"That's not all, I'll ask a professional musician to pick a few more songs that are suitable for you to sing, the copyright of these songs belongs to you personally, and even if you die, your sister will be the direct beneficiary. β
"Yes, I do. β
