132. Morning tea

When Tao Li woke up, it was already dawn. He looked down and saw that he was covered with a blanket, and not far away was Meow Meow, who was sleeping on the desk, with his coat draped over his body, and his immature face should have a carefree expression, but his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't know what to say in his small mouth.

He looked at the meow who was still full of sorrow in his sleep, and suddenly felt a little distressed, when she first started to follow him, she had just turned 20 years old, not to mention the world, even the society was not deeply involved in the world, and she still had a girl's innocent heart.

She had only been with Tao for less than five years, and she was still frowning in her dreams, but because of all the problems such as work and socializing, he didn't have time to take care of Meow Meow, which made him suddenly feel guilty.

"Buzz—buzz—"

Tao Li's phone vibrate, he glanced at it, and whispered it with his hand over the microphone.

"You're gone?"

"No, I'm sleeping in the reception room, and I'll call you when I wake up to see if you're up. Ai Xin's voice sounded lazy, and she probably didn't sleep well.

"Okay, I'll come over first. ”

Tao Li quickly hung up the phone, glanced at Meow Meow again, covered her with a blanket on her, and then walked out of the office lightly.

"What time did you go to bed?"

As soon as Tao Li opened the door, he sat on the sofa with a big grin, looking at Ai Xin boredly.

"It's definitely not as early as you. ”

Ai Xin was still leaning against the edge of the couch, her legs shrunched, and she tried to wrap herself in the blanket as much as possible.

"How's that, any ideas?"

Tao Li rubbed his hands and touched his chin, but a short stubble had already appeared.

"Yes. ”

"Really?"

Tao Li turned to look at her, the light in his eyes tingled with some surprise.

"Well, you go wash your face first, clean up yourself, and then wake up Meowmeow, and then when she cleans up, let's go to dinner. ”

"You're still in the mood to eat. Tao Li laughed, "That's it, are you embarrassed to say that I have a big heart?"

"Okay, you've learned to pretend to be asleep?"

Ai Xin also laughed and kicked Tao Li through the blanket.

"In a daze, I heard the two of you chatting, but I don't remember the specifics. Tao Li stood up, straightened the shirt on his body, and looked down at Ai Xin, who looked tired, "Okay, I'll take care of myself first, just so you can sleep for a while." ”

"Hmm. ”

Ai Xin nodded and answered, but she definitely couldn't fall asleep again.

As soon as Meow Meow opened his eyes, he saw Tao Li, who had been dressed up, wearing a dark blue coat and a brown knitted sweater, sitting in front of him and looking at himself seriously.

"Young master, early. ”

"Oh?" Tao Li smiled when he saw her reaction, and greeted her as well, "Good morning." ”

"Hmm...... Master, go get busy first, I want to sleep a little longer......"

Meowth muttered quietly, reversed her face, and continued to sleep with her hands on her pillows.

"Hahaha......"

Ai Xin, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, couldn't help but push the door in and shouted, "Don't sleep, get up and let's go eat!"

"Sister Ai...... You're here too?ahhhh

Meow Meow heard her voice, instinctively responded, suddenly reacted, and sat up from the chair abruptly.

"Little, little sister Ai, young master, you ...... You're all up, huh?"

"Ai Xin, if you scare Meow so much in the future, I'm not done with you!"

Tao Li looked at the panicked Meow Meow, patted her on the back, calmed her down, went to wash up first, and then turned his head and looked at Ai Xin with some complaint.

"I didn't know she was talking in her sleep, and besides, she could greet you before she woke up, which is so cute. ”

Ai Xin smiled and sat on the swivel chair, looking at Tao Li with a sneer.

"Okay, you haven't told me yet, it's all burning eyebrows, why are you still in the mood to eat?"

"Leighton's morning tea, I've wanted to eat it for a long time, I love snacks, and you don't know it......"

"Stop, I know you love to eat, and I know that this is the only way to eat. What I'm asking you is, shouldn't we go to catch Lao Zhao, or solve the problem, can't you order a takeout or take a bite first, the time is so tight. ”

"You, you, you are not in a hurry when you should be in a hurry, and you are in a hurry when you shouldn't be in a hurry, how can you do big things when you are in such a hurry?"

Ai Xin sighed and sat in the chair and spun around twice before laughing again.

"I didn't say I wouldn't do the right thing, I just said, eat first...... Maybe you'll come up with a solution while you're eating?"

"When will you learn to speak straight and not go around in circles with me. I always feel like my dad with you. ”

"What's wrong with your dad?" Ai Xin gave him a roll of his eyes, "Your dad's ability, you can learn one-tenth of it, and life won't be so difficult." ”

"Gotcha, I won't fight with you, I can't fight! Let's go, I've wanted to eat phoenix claws for a few days......"

Tao Li grabbed the bag in his hand and stood up, and Meow Meow came in from outside the door just after washing his face.

"Ah, young master, are you leaving? Immediately, I'll put my coat ...... There is no bag...... I'll pick it up right away and ...... you right away."

"Don't be in such a hurry. Ai Xin looked at her with relief, "You clean up, pack up and let's go." When you go to the hotel for morning tea, you can't be untidy. ”

"Hotel?" Meow Meow was stunned for a moment, suddenly thought of something, immediately nodded, grabbed the coat on the chair, and nodded at Ai Xin.

"What do I think...... It's like you've talked to each other?"

Tao Li followed behind the two of them, always feeling that they had made some decisions behind their backs, but they didn't tell themselves.

Ai Xin didn't say anything all the way, and took Tao Li and Meow Meow into the parking lot. Seeing that Ai Xin didn't open his mouth to mention the hotel and Director Zhao, Meow Meow couldn't decide whether to tell Tao Li by herself, so she simply closed her mouth and followed into the car.

"Meow meow. Ai Xin turned around and glanced at Meow Meow, who was habitually preparing to sit in the back seat of the car, and called out to her, "You sit in the co-pilot, navigation." ”

"Oh. Meow Meow nodded, ran to the co-pilot and opened the door, leaving Tao Li looking at the two of them with a blank face.

"Guide...... Hotel?" Meow Meow took out her phone and asked Ai Xin's opinion.

"Clever!" Ai Xin smiled and nodded at her, and slowly drove the car out of the garage with the steering wheel.

"Huh?"

Tao Li picked up the backrest of the co-pilot, glanced at the positioning of the navigation on Meow's mobile phone, and suddenly frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Ai Xin and Meow Meow glanced at Tao Li from the rearview mirror at the same time, thinking that Tao Li would guess something, however, five seconds later, Tao Li still did not disappoint everyone.

"Meow meow, you can now, you can guess where Ai Xin is going to have morning tea!"

“......”

Ai Xin laughed and continued to concentrate on driving.

"Young Master...... I, that, and Sister Ai just told me. ”

Meow Meow held the phone, although she was a little weak-hearted, but she still perfunctory Tao Li.

"Okay, okay, then you drive first, I'll sleep for a while, I didn't sleep well last night. ”

Tao Li adjusted the seat and lay comfortably in the back.

"I slept the earliest, I didn't sleep well. ”

Ai Xin pursed her lips, she was also quite tired, if it weren't for the recovery of the company's money, she would rather sleep at home than drive here early in the morning.

"Sister Ai. ”

After driving for more than ten minutes, Meow Meow looked at the route on his phone before he spoke: "The front should be there." ”

"Well, I know. ”

Ai Xin nodded, parked the car directly at the entrance of the hotel, and got out of the car with a swagger.

"Eh, don't you wake up the young master?"

Meow Meow glanced at Tao Li, who was still asleep in the back row.

"Don't call yet. ”

Ai Xin handed the key to the waiter at the front desk, took out a hundred yuan from his wallet, put it on the counter of the service desk, and instructed: "There is still someone in the car, just give him the key after parking the car." ”

"Okay. ”

The waiter took the key, bowed, and then took the money and walked into Ai Xin's car.

"Little ......"

"Don't talk, follow me. ”

Meow Meow was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ai Xin without hesitation, and she followed Ai Xin safely and walked into the lobby of the hotel.

Ai Xin should have been here a few times, and after a little discerning the direction, he entered the restaurant with Meow Meow, and there was a waiter standing at the door, checking the room card of the customer who went in front of him to eat.

"Hello. ”

Seeing Ai Xin, who was dressed and temperamental, the waiter showed a big smile, but still stopped her according to the process: "Please show your room card or breakfast coupon." ”

"I'm not a guest, I'm just here for dinner, I don't have a mobile phone, can I do cash?"

Ai Xin took out her wallet and looked at the waiter politely.

"Okay, you...... Are there two?"

The waiter nodded, glanced at the cowering meow behind Ai Xin, and confirmed it again.

"Yes, two, how much?"

"A total of 196 yuan, oh I'm sorry, I don't seem to have zero ...... here"

"Okay, here you go. Ai Xin directly took out two hundred yuan and put it on the table, and took Meow Meow into the restaurant, "If the service fee is not enough, I will give it to you when I come out in a while." ”

"Okay, okay...... Thank you. ”

The waiter put away the bill and smiled warmly at Ai Xin.

Meow Meow followed Ai Xin into the restaurant, the waiter guided the two people to sit at a small table, Ai Xin took the menu and pencil and carefully checked the dishes, Meow Meow finally couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Sister Ai, are we really here for dinner?"

"What?" Ai Xin looked up at her, "Aren't you hungry?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Meowmeow's stomach made a gurgling sound, causing her to look around in embarrassment.

"No, hungry is hungry...... But didn't we come to this hotel to arrest Director Zhao?"

"Wait a minute......" Ai Xin didn't answer her question in time, but looked at the menu intently, chose about a dozen kinds of dim sum, and ordered a raw beef porridge before handing the menu to Meow Meow: "Look at what you eat." ”

"......" Meow Meow reluctantly took the menu, chose two at random, quickly handed it to the waiter, and returned to his seat.

"Let me ask you, I asked you to check Lao Zhao's information, have you checked it all?"

"......" Meow Meow was stunned for a moment, and shook her head a little weakly, "I'm in a hurry to find someone...... Not yet, haven't had time to take a closer look. ”

"That's what I told you before, you and Tao Li sometimes have a problem, that is, they look too much at the result of everything, and ignore many details and meanings in the process. I still remember when you first started working for Tao Li, you should have been in too much of a hurry to do this job well, but you neglected the most basic things, and you didn't even finish reading the manual I gave you, because you wanted to keep this job too much, right?"

"Hmm. Meow Meow still remembers that mistake, and over the years, Ai Xin still remembers what she said to her that day.

"Lao Zhao's matter is the same, if you just want to get the money back, then it's actually not a million yuan, it's a big deal if I can't make up for the hole, or Tao Li will go home softly, this matter is very easy to solve. But if you don't help Tao Li figure out the truth of the matter and don't completely solve the root cause of this incident, don't mention whether this kind of thing will happen in Tao Li's future life, at least when he encounters this kind of thing again, he still won't know how to solve it. ”

Ai Xin sighed and raised her head to look at Meow Meow: "What I want you to do is to help Tao Li grow, not to accompany him to grow." If you grow slower than him, you will never be able to catch up with him, and you will never be able to enter his world. ”

Ai Xin's words were like a heavy hammer, hammering Meowmeow's heart, hammering into the deepest desire in her heart...... Yes, because she wanted to enter Tao Li's world too much, and wanted to help Tao Li too much, which made her more and more impulsive and utilitarian.

Looking at Meowmeow's expression, Ai Xin knew that she had begun to think about her mistakes, so she stopped educating her and brought up another thing.

"Do you know what this hotel is best known for?"

"Huh?" Meowth came back to her senses, "restaurant?"

"Not exactly. Ai Xin smiled, "It is most famous, is Cantonese cuisine, because the old is always from Dongguan, so from Guangdong invited two very famous masters to come over to take charge, not only the taste is pure, but also the style of the two people is different, but will give guests a surprising experience." Therefore, this is the banquet venue that I will definitely choose when facing Guangdong guests. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

Meow Meow's research on food is not as deep as Ai Xin's, but she also understands that sometimes taking customers away from home and eating a bite of hometown food will greatly improve the success rate of this business.

"Do you know much about Director Zhao?"

"Not much, I just know that his hometown is from the south. ”

"This old Zhao, the ancestors of the three generations are all from Maoming City, when he went to college in Zhuhai, about ten years ago, he came to Beijing on a business trip by chance, and was left by a big boss with a high salary. Later, the company collapsed and the boss ran away, but Lao Zhao still had achievements in the industry, so he was invited to another company to continue working. Although Lao Zhao stayed in Beijing, he was very good to his family, he would pay a lot of money every month to subsidize his family, and often flew back to see his wife and children. ”

"Hmm. ”

Meow Meow nodded, even if Lao Zhao is from Guangdong, it doesn't mean that he will definitely come to this hotel. But since he's here, he must have his own reasons.

"Before, I heard that his child was also admitted to Zhuhai, and he was in the same school back then, which was quite competitive. Later, I heard Lao Zhao himself say that the child set this goal because he wanted to be the same person as his father, and he has been working hard, and what moved Lao Zhao was the old tears. In order to reward the child, he also took a special leave before, and the family went to Hong Kong and Macau together as a reward for the child. ”

Ai Xin stopped and took a sip of tea, just as the dishes were also served, she took a bite before looking at Meow Meow again.

"I've been talking about it for a long time, do you think of anything?"

"Huh?" Meow Meow was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ai Xin was just telling a story to herself, just like a student who was suddenly named by the teacher when he was distracted in class, and panicked.

"You, you, if I hadn't chosen you myself, I would have kicked you out of the restaurant today. ”

Ai Xin sighed, put the porridge in the casserole into a small bowl, and blew it unhurriedly, no longer looking at Meow.
