Chapter Twenty-Six: Acknowledgments
The steaming bottom of the pot was quickly served, the hot butter was boiling in the pot, and a thin smoke was emitting, Han Yudong immediately got up and began to put something into the pot.
Then he opened a bottle of Wuliangye, poured a cup for each person, and then took his own cup and drank it all.
Everyone was a little surprised by Yu Dong's move, only to see Han Yudong smile and say, "I'll first toast our feelings for so many years." ”
Immediately afterwards, Han Yudong poured another glass and said, "This cup is for everyone, thank you for your help to me during this time." ”
After drinking this cup, Han Yudong's tears flowed.
She immediately poured herself another glass, then drank it all and said, "This cup is a cup that I have caused trouble to everyone recently, and I punished myself." ”
After three glasses of white wine on an empty stomach, Lin Xingchen was a little worried about Han Yudong's body.
Lin Xuan picked up the liquor in front of him and led the rest of the people to give Han Yudong a glass in return.
The hot pot opened quickly, Lin Xuan led Shen Yichen and Simon to prepare the dipping sauce, Lin Xuan and Lin Xingchen ate the sesame sauce plate, Shen Yichen mixed the sesame oil dish for himself, Han Yudong likes to eat dry dishes, Lin Xuan uses white sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, chili noodles, and salt to make a dry dish that is a must, Peter eats Chinese hot pot for the first time, and he is very strange about all kinds of dipping sauces. Simon's dipping sauce is the quickest to make, because he has a unique taste and likes vinegar as a base, yes, pure vinegar!
Everyone started to eat hot pot happily, at the beginning, Han Yudong was responsible for scooping vegetables and pouring drinks for everyone, but after a while, Lin Xuan disliked that the meat was boiled old, and the pig brain was boiled, so he rushed down and replaced it with Lin Xuan himself.
Shao Bai called Lin Xingchen after a while, Lin Xingchen simply opened the video and asked Shao Baiyun to eat hot pot, Shao Bai smiled and said that he had been losing weight recently, accusing them of torturing him by cutting meat with a blunt knife.
The atmosphere on the table was very good, Peter took a bite and threw away his dipping sauce, and then tasted everyone's base one by one, when he tasted Simon, his facial features were tangled together, and Simon touched his head with a smile, and finally decided that Yu Dong's was the best, and pulled Lin Xuan to mix a bowl for him.
Lin Xingchen has been video chatting with Shao Bai during the banquet, and everyone joked: Lin Xingchen used to eat hot pot, Lin Xingchen was the most active one, and the chopsticks did not stop from the opening to the dismissal, and now he doesn't eat hot pot in video chat with Shao Bai, which shows that it makes sense to be beautiful and delicious, and Shao Bai is better than hot pot.
Lin Xingchen's face turned red when they said it, and Shao Bai in the video heard them say this, and coaxed: "So, I don't have to eat to lose weight in the future, just look in the mirror." ”
Another burst of laughter.
……
The banquet was coming to an end, the fire on the table had been turned off, Lin Xuan was drinking with Shen Yichen, Peter felt that he was very appetizing because he was eating hot pot for the first time, and he ate a little too much, so he held his round belly, leaned on the seat, twisted his head and talked to Simon in Danish, laughing from time to time.
Yu Dong took out a bank card from his bag at this time, put it on the table with a piece of paper, and said to Lin Xuan: "This is all my belongings of 50,000 yuan, and the other is an IOU." ”
This afternoon, Yu Dong returned all the money that Lin Xingchen had borrowed for her, and asked Lin Xingchen to repay the money.
This 50,000 is probably all the money that Yu Dong can take out at present.
Lin Xuan was drinking with Shen Yichen, and when he saw Han Yudong say this, he picked up the bank card and IOU and glanced at it, then threw it back on the table and said, "This IOU, why is there no interest and no collateral? What if you can't pay it yet? Do you promise to me or do you want to be a cow and a horse for me?"
Lin Xingchen realized that Lin Xuan might be drunk, so he hurriedly dragged Lin Xuan, and after Lin Xuan reacted, he quickly changed his words and said: "You don't have to rush this money, pay it back slowly." ”
Han Yudong twisted his head to the side angrily, didn't speak, got up for a long time, and stuffed the bank card and IOU back into Lin Xuan's hand.
Lin Xuan thought for a while, returned the bank card to Han Yudong, and stuffed the IOU into his pocket: "I accepted the IOU, the bank card is still waived, the little money in your bank card is simply not enough to worry about compared to your debt, you better think about your future! I have a hunch that you will soon have to rent a house again!"
The last sentence was not only said to Han Yudong, but Lin Xingchen also raised his head and asked, "Why do we want to rent a house again?"
Lin Xuan scratched his head, Lin Xingchen didn't understand the world too much, he turned his head and saw Han Yudong with a puzzled face, and said with hatred: "Are you really stupid or fake stupid? He didn't come out because he was afraid of getting burned, and after you stabilized during this time, he would definitely drive you away, who dared to leave a tenant in debt in the house, the house on the sea market was not worried about rent, you just left on the front foot, and someone on the back foot looked at the house, and the landlord paid a deposit at most, like you, the deposit does not have to be paid!"
Lin Xingchen couldn't help but get nervous when she heard what Lin Xuan said, and she looked at Han Yudong.
Han Yudong knew that he was dragging Lin Xingchen down, and said embarrassedly: "Xingchen, don't worry, the landlord doesn't look like that kind of person, even if we are kicked out, we have money in our pockets, and it will be a matter of minutes to find a new house." ”
This kind of empty comfort did not calm Lin Xingchen, and Lin Xuan sneered.
The atmosphere of the banquet was a little awkward, Simon immediately began to enliven the atmosphere, only to see Lin Xuan stop him with his hand and said: "Han Yudong, I also want to show you a clear way, work in a foreign company with Lin Xingchen, I admit that you have the appearance of an actor, but the actors are a lot more beautiful, those who can be popular are all with good temperament, and there are models, this industry needs temperament more, not to mention that supermodels are generally 1.78+ meters tall, you are only 1.75 meters, you can't." ”
Although Han Yudong has been lowering his posture today because of his thanks, he is still a little uncomfortable when he is told to your face that you can't do it.
Lin Xuan continued: "You are young now and want to try, but have you ever thought that after a few years, you still haven't succeeded, and when you go back to the talent market to find a job, you have wasted two years, and you have no work experience at all, and you can't even compare with a college student who has just graduated." ”
At this time, Han Yudong's face was already very ugly, Lin Xingchen hurriedly pulled her up to check out, left the table, and asked Shen Yichen to send Lin Xuan home before leaving.
……
After returning home, Lin Xingchen received a text message from the landlord:
A few days ago, someone smashed pots and bowls in the house, and poured paint on the door, you two girls were busy, I didn't add fuel to the fire, now you are busy, I am an old lady, I have no opinions, I really dare not keep you, if something happens to the two of you, I can't afford to sell me, I will deduct half of your deposit, and the rent in the first quarter will be refunded, after all, it is not easy for you two girls to come to the sea to work hard, and you will move out next week.
Lin Xingchen took his mobile phone and fell into deep thought, for the first time, he felt that Lin Xuan was so powerful, and he actually guessed it all.
But now is not the time to sigh, Lin Xingchen hurriedly handed the mobile phone to Han Yudong, Han Yudong burst into tears after reading it, although Han Yudong seems to be extremely strong, but what has happened in the past few days has made her exhausted, coupled with Lin Xuan's words just now, her self-confidence has been deeply hit, and now the landlord's eviction is tantamount to the last straw that crushes the camel, and the huge sea market has no place for itself.
After crying for a long time, Yu Dong wiped it, but the tissue handed over by Lin Xingchen said: "Xingchen, I'll go find a house tomorrow, and the two of us will definitely find a suitable house." ”
Lin Xingchen nodded, did not speak, and stepped forward to hug Yu Dong.
……
After returning to the room, Lin Xingchen was worried, she was not worried about the house, after all, if she couldn't pay the rent, she could still talk to her parents, but what about Han Yudong?
Although the landlord said that he would refund all the rent and half of the deposit, but how difficult it is to find a house with reasonable price and convenient transportation in the sea market, Lin Xingchen knew in his heart that this house was found by her and Yu Dong before she graduated, can the next house be easy?
She made a fool of herself to dial Shao Bai's phone, Shao Bai recently received a talk show variety show, and the show was recorded until one or two o'clock in the morning, this call should not be answered, Lin Xingchen thought to himself.
Unexpectedly, the phone was quickly connected, and Shao Bai's tired but gentle voice came from inside: "Xingchen, what's wrong?
Lin Xingchen snorted and replied, "I miss you, have you rested?"
Shao Bai, who was on the phone, looked at the busy studio behind him and said, "I didn't rest, we are in a hurry for this show, and we have been staying up late to record." ”
After Lin Xingchen heard this, he hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to tell Shao Bai about his troubles.
Shao Bai noticed that Lin Xingchen seemed to have something on his mind, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'm resting now, just say it." ”
Lin Xingchen took a deep breath and told him everything about the IOU from Han Yudong to Lin Xuan today to the landlord driving people out.
Shao Bai listened to Lin Xingchen's words and straightened out his thoughts, in fact, Lin Xingchen's expression ability was good, but the content of what he said was too huge, so that Shao Bai couldn't find the point for a while.
"Are you bothered that the house hasn't settled yet?" asked Shao Bai tentatively.
After getting Lin Xingchen's affirmative answer, Shao Bai said again: "If you want to continue to live, I don't think it's impossible, but you definitely have to add money, I personally don't recommend it, after all, you are in a weak position now, who knows if the landlord will give you small shoes in the future? If you want to find a new house, this depends on fate, I can't help, but my family has an old house, near the old city, if you don't dislike it, you can go in first to live for a while, you should be in a hurry." ”
Lin Xingchen listened to Shao Bai's words, and was thinking about it, when the voice on the other end of the phone sounded shouting Shao Bai to record the show, Lin Xingchen hurriedly asked Shao Bai to go to work quickly.
Shao Bai also immediately hung up the phone, ready to leave, and said before leaving: "You think about it carefully." ”
Looking at the busy tone after the phone hung up, Lin Xingchen fell into deep thought again.
