Chapter 277: Unexpected Visitors ( Second Shift Asking for Tickets and Asking for All Kinds of Requests, Mo Mo Da~)
It's the annual Thanksgiving Day in a blink of an eye, Lin Zitan has never paid much attention to this festival before, Li Manrui didn't spend much time on this holiday before, and in recent years, he has only followed employees on holidays or approved double wages for employees who don't take holidays.
Not because he had nothing to be thankful for, but that there was never one to celebrate with, but this year he felt different. After being with Emma, he wanted to go through all the holidays, and it felt really different with his lover!
So this Thanksgiving, Lin Zitan called all his good friends and buddies to come to the house for a small gathering. Zhang Jing took Alice back to the mainland this year, and Lin Zitan's friends here were only Xiao Cheng and Louis.
So it ended up being a small party where you could bring your partner, and the people who came were basically the most familiar people except for Renault, who was going home for a reunion.
Lin Zitan specially found a special person to decorate the large living room at home, and Emma also happily bought a lot of flowers to decorate.
So this year's Thanksgiving, Lin Zi had a special happiness, he prepared a few dishes by himself, and then paired them with hot pot, Emma roasted a big turkey.
In the evening, Xiao Cheng arrived first with his girlfriend and Andrew, and Louis also came early with Julia. Just because Chu Feng and Zhuang Yijun didn't show up for a long time, they were a little anxious in Lin Zitan,
When I wanted to call to ask for a look, I suddenly received a call from Eric, asking him if he wanted to go up and have a drink with him.
"Uh...... Eric, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you tonight, I have a small party at home, I wanted to invite you, but I'm afraid you won't be very comfortable, hehe~" Lin Zitan said honestly.
"Do you have a party at home?" said Eric, unpleasantly, in the tone that you don't call me when you have a party.
"Uh, yes, we cooked hot pot, do you want to come down and taste our Chinese food?" Lin Zitan immediately invited.
"Ahem~ Isn't it just hot pot?...... Is it delicious?" Eric said immediately after hesitating for a second on the phone.
"Well, it tastes very special anyway, why don't you come down and try it too?" I made a few dishes......
"8D?" Eric asked coolly, without waiting for Lin Zi to finish.
"Yes, it just so happens that we haven't started yet!" Lin Zitan hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, making Lin Zitan's face inexplicable.
"Is he coming or not?" he should be coming!" Lin Zi pondered.
"Who, Chu Feng?" Xiao Cheng asked casually as he helped on the side.
"No, a big guy upstairs, I didn't dare to call him because I thought he definitely didn't like our occasion, and besides, he wasn't familiar with everyone. Lin Zitan explained.
"Who? Eric is coming down?" Louis, who had turned from the living room to see what Lin Zitan was cooking, walked in and happened to hear their conversation and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I didn't call him as if he was quite upset, the problem is that everyone doesn't know him well. Lin Zitan was a little embarrassed.
"What's this, don't you get along with each other more and get acquainted?" Xiao Cheng didn't care.
"Uh...... It seems that even if this person has met you ten times, he may not be willing to deal with you, and since he is willing to come, it means that he really regards you as a friend, Daniel." Louis said excitedly.
"Yes, you are familiar with him here, please help entertain him later~" Lin Zitan immediately shook the pot and said, joking, with Eric's cool and domineering character, it is estimated that few people here can chat happily with him.
"Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong ~" As he was speaking, the doorbell rang in the living room.
Lin Zitan hurriedly put down the spatula, took off his apron and prepared to deal with this big guy, who knew that when he walked out, he saw that Emma had already opened the door, and it was not Eric who came in, it was Zhuang Yijun who had not heard much for a long time.
"Hi~ I'm sorry, I'm late!" Zhuang Yijun walked in apologetically, holding a bouquet of colorful flowers in his hand.
"Oh, we haven't started yet, hurry up and come in~"
Emma happily took the flowers handed over by Zhuang Yijun, and took her hand and sat on the sofa in the living room, where Xiao Cheng's girlfriend and several other subjects were sitting together and chatting with Andrew.
-------------------
Chu Feng was the last to come, and when Lin Zitan opened the door for him, he saw a circle of children accompanying Eric to look at the painting, because when he came down, he actually brought a painting of his own, an autumn picture of Central Park, and everyone was praising it.
And the character who has always been surprised at his own party is sitting there with an embarrassed face to bear everyone's praise!
"Your painting is really good, can we buy a pair to hang in the living room at home?" Xiao Cheng's girlfriend, who didn't know why, couldn't put it down.
"Ahem~Lily~" Xiao Cheng hurriedly said.
"Well, that's okay, if you like, you can ask Daniel to take you to my gallery one day and buy whatever you want. "Eric is neither humble nor arrogant.
As soon as Xiao Cheng's girlfriend heard him say that the gallery, she immediately shut up, although their Xiao Cheng is now a little successful, but the money still has to be spent carefully, not to mention that they still want to buy a house on the Upper East Side!
"Yes guys, I'll take you to Eric's gallery another day, it's full of beautiful paintings, all kinds of paintings of all prices and styles, and now we're all here, please take a seat." Lin Zitan hurriedly said.
Originally, it was a seat for twelve people, but now there are 9 guests, and all of them are excited to look at the side dishes on the table and some cold dishes prepared by Lin Zitan in advance.
"I can't see it, Daniel, you can do this cooking!" Xiao Cheng rubbed his hands and looked salivating.
"I wanted to make some sushi, but I didn't have time, so I just got some geoduck and salmon, let's eat it alive." Lin Zitan said modestly.
"I'll go, are these also your films? This knife is so good!" As soon as Chu Feng heard that this geoduck as thin as a cicada's wings was actually made by Lin Zitan himself, it was simply a five-body worship throw.
"Have you forgotten that our family opened a restaurant before~" In order to take care of more than half of the foreigners who are doing it, Lin Zitan and they all chose to talk in English, and everyone else at the table was stunned.
After the feast, everyone ate very happily, two large mouthfuls of hot pot were steaming, and various hot pot dishes were constantly thrown in and out of it, and the finished products on the table were also consumed a lot for a while.
Eric, who had always been on the high, was probably the first time to experience this kind of party, so casual and so relaxed, that everyone could eat better than the people at his own party, but they all ate happily and contentedly.
From the beginning of only daring to use a fork to pick a few slices of sashimi, to slowly began to accept the hot dishes given to him by Lin Zi on the side, and slowly began to try to use chopsticks to go to the pot to fish for beef to eat, a room full of people eating is really hot.
--------------------------
Not long after Thanksgiving, when Lin Zi was pondering how to take Emma back to see Li Manrui with the current relationship between Li Manrui and Mike, an unexpected thing happened.
On this day, Lin Zitan came back from outside, and as soon as he walked into the hall of the apartment, he saw the old black aunt of Emma sitting in the hall waiting for him, and he was startled.
I thought something had happened to Emma, because Emma had just left his apartment for Washington in the morning, and it was the train he had personally put on him.
"Hey, it was Mr. Johnson who asked me to ask you to come over. When the black nanny saw him, she immediately got up from her seat and said very respectfully.
"Mr. Johnson?" Lin Zitan didn't know who Johnson was, but he vaguely felt in his heart that it should be Emma's grandfather.
"Yes, Mr. Johnson is Miss Emma's grandfather. The black nanny patiently explained.
