Chapter Ninety-Seven: Seafood Porridge
It was pitch black everywhere, Tao Xian was tired, hungry and sleepy, walking and walking on the road, but he couldn't find any food or drink, his waist also hurt, his legs were filled with lead, and his eyelids couldn't be opened, so he simply sat on the ground, desperate.
At this time, he smelled a particularly good smell, with the fragrance of shrimp and crab, which came to his nose, which made him shake his spirits and sit up from the ground.
"This taste, could it be seafood porridge, woo, it smells so good, I want to eat it!" Tao Xian wiped a handful of saliva, gave birth to infinite motivation, ran desperately, and didn't know how long he ran, and saw a big fire in front of him in a trance, Su Ruotong was standing behind the fire, cooking in a beautiful cartoon kitchen dress, this dress was still lace, and the fragrance came from the cauldron on the fire.
"Do you want to eat?" Su Ruotong smiled at him and hooked his tender white little finger.
"Think, Tongtong, give me something to eat. Tao Xian licked her lips and pounced, but Su Ruotong smiled hideously, stretched out her hand and pushed, the whole pot was overturned by her, and all the delicious food fell into the fire.
Su Ruotong came over angrily, grabbed his ear, picked him up, and threw him into the fire: "Do you still want to eat?" Say, why did you peek at me taking a shower last night!"
"Help, I didn't mean to. ”
Tao Xian screamed, rolled over from the bed, wiped his forehead, and the sweat on it turned out to be a nightmare.
Look at it again, he forgot to put the remote control of the air conditioner on the bedside table when he went to bed last night, turned over and pressed the remote control at night, and accidentally turned off the air conditioner.
Tao Xian had a false alarm, and when he woke up, he found that the fragrance in the dream was actually real, and the wall clock on the wall showed that it was nine o'clock in the morning, and it should be Su Ruotong who had finished the meal and was waiting for him at the bottom.
Thinking of the dream just now and what happened last night, Tao Xian rubbed his old waist, when he entered Su Ruotong's bedroom last night, she happened to be undressing and preparing to take a bath, Tao Xian was kicked out by her, Tao Xian was separated by the door for a long time, only in exchange for Su Ruotong's muffled snort.
I don't know if Su Ruotong is still angry in the morning.
Tao Xian thought as he walked downstairs.
Su Ruotong was wearing a dress with large white daisy flowers printed on a light ink blue background, revealing two smooth and slender calves, sitting at the table flipping through magazines, seeing Tao Xian, glancing at him, and not speaking first.
Tao Xian didn't know what was going on, and his old face heated up. What to do, he can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, why is it just a little rippling when he sees her beautiful arms and calves exposed, and all that comes to mind is the beautiful body that he glimpsed last night.
He must have been poisoned by a poison called Tongtong.
Seeing that Tao Xian went to eat seafood porridge without making a sound, and killed the cold jellyfish shreds and boiled purple potatoes on the table, Su Ruotong said: "Remember to brush the dishes." ”
"Good, good!" Tao Xian nodded like pounded garlic.
Su Ruotong saw that Tao Xian was so obedient, and his anger slowly subsided, and asked him, "What do you want to eat at noon?"
Tao Xian said: "This, whatever." "He has back pain, can you eat some fried waist flowers to make up for it, but if you say it, I'm afraid that Tongtong will beat him again.
Su Ruotong thought about it and said: "It will take three days to renovate the restaurant, Brother Tao Xian, you said that you can get a business permit and a health permit within a week, so these seven days are the preparation period, I will try dishes at home first, and the menu of the first week will be based on seafood." We ate seafood at noon today. ”
Tao Xian looked at Su Ruotong with a stammer: "What seafood does Tongtong want to make, give me a list, I'll go out and buy it, it's hot today, don't go out." ”
Su Ruotong was really not polite to him, and wrote a long note. After Tao Xian went out, the heat wave rolled in, the temperature has exploded today, the weather forecast said that the maximum temperature during the day will be 39 degrees, although it is ten o'clock in the morning, but the sun is already scorching.
As soon as the day is hot, people are irritable, Tao Xian is covered with sweat for a while, and his head is a little dizzy, and he doesn't even have the strength to answer the phone ringing in his pocket.
Finally glanced at the screen, Tao Xian anxiously pressed the phone, it was Tu Jiao calling, he was really too lazy to pay attention to this woman, he had already told his mother Liu Hongjiao several times that he wanted to dismiss Tu Jiao, but Liu Hongjiao never complied. Fortunately, Tu Jiao knew that she was at a loss before, and she didn't contact him again, so when she looked for him at this time, she was afraid that she would make trouble again.
Tu Jiao saw that he didn't answer the phone, and sent another text message.
Tao Xian looked at the screen, and the message sent by Tu Jiao was like this: Tao Xian, I am still in Xinhai. Now there is another great opportunity to acquire Su's Restaurant, this time by the gluttonous group merger and acquisition, Mr. Liu let you have full control, please call back quickly.
Tao Xian rolled his eyes, didn't Tu Jiao see that he had been protecting the Su family, merging a ghost, this EQ is slightly lower.
At this time, in Xinhai, Tu Jiao was sitting on a waiting chair in the corridor outside the hospital ward, and a faint smell of disinfectant water filled the air, which was not particularly unpleasant. The wards on this floor are all VIP wards, and the environment is many times better than ordinary wards.
On a tightly closed door next to her, there was a patient's information card: Zhou Zhishen, male, 57 years old.
Inside the door, there was a faint sound, as if someone was talking, but the fine lines were like mosquitoes, and it was completely difficult to hear what was being said.
After a while, the door of the ward opened, and a tall and beautiful woman with thick wavy black hair leaned against the door and raised her chin at Tu Jiao: "Godfather, please come in." Hurry up, he still has to rest, and he must leave in a quarter of an hour. ”
Listening to the woman's unceremonious words, Tu Jiao felt a burst of disdain in her heart, what kind of godfather, didn't she hook up Zhou Zhishen with this face and figure, obviously this woman is also a professor at Xinhai University, and she also studied for a doctorate in a famous foreign university, but she has no self-esteem at all, which is really embarrassing for their returnees.
Although Cheng Yan was devalued as worthless in his heart, Tu Jiao did a good job on the surface, and smiled lightly at Cheng Yan: "Teacher Cheng took good care of him, Mr. Zhou's recovery so quickly is all your credit." ”
After saying politely, Tu Jiao walked into the ward, only to see that on the wide hospital bed, Zhou Zhishen's head was wrapped in gauze, and there was dark red oozing blood in some places, only two eyes were exposed, looking at Tu Jiao.
Tu Jiao's appearance is not good, she is dressed very decently, Zhou Zhishen only looked at her appearance, so she didn't have any ideas, and said with a lack of interest: "You are the Tu Jiao recommended by the Wei family?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou. I'm here to work with you for a business matter. I heard that you are very interested in Su's Restaurant, I got the latest news, Su's Restaurant went to the bank to borrow 2 million the day before yesterday, with the old store of Su's Restaurant as collateral, I think, this is a good opportunity. ”
A glint flashed in Zhou Zhishen's eyes, and he said, "I'm not interested in Su's Restaurant." ”
Tu Jiao couldn't help but be surprised, it was clear that the situation that the Wei family had told her was not like this.
"I don't want Su's Restaurant. Zhou Zhishen slowly repeated: "What do I want Su's Restaurant to do? Without a good chef and without that signboard, a single building of Su's Restaurant can be worth a few dollars." No, in my opinion, two million is not worth two million in a six-story building! The important thing is people!"
"You don't have to worry about that. Tu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, she had already prepared for this, and took out a stack of printed and sorted materials from Kun's bag: "In this merger and acquisition, we will cooperate with you, Taotao Group has always been very good in the catering industry, and it is very easy to find excellent chefs to rebuild Su's." You can take a look at this business case......"
"Smack!"
The information was pushed by Zhou Zhishen's hand with age spots and heavy wrinkles, and it was scattered all over the ground, and his cloudy old eyes stared at Tu Jiao: "What I want is a person! ”
The smile on Tu Jiao's face was a little stiff, what did Zhou Zhishen mean by this? He wanted Su Ruotong, did he fall in love with Su Ruotong's craftsmanship, or was it the kind of simple man who fell in love with a woman?
"Let's get out. Zhou Zhishen slowly closed his eyes: "Let Cheng Yan come in." ”
Tu Jiao was confused, put away the information on the ground, gently put it on the thoughtful bedside table, and walked out of the door.
Cheng Yan sat in the corridor where Tu Jiao was sitting, and Tu Jiao bowed to her: "Mr. Zhou, please ask Teacher Cheng to come in." ”
"It's okay, I can talk to you about it, come out so soon, did your godfather embarrass you?" Cheng Yan showed a knowing smile.
Seeing Cheng Yan's smile like this, Tu Jiao's heart rose up with a feeling of unhappiness, and when she talked to Cheng Yan, a sense of embarrassment and humiliation surged up in her heart.
They have such similar backgrounds, graduated from prestigious universities with doctorates, attracted much attention abroad, and had a bright future, but finally chose to return to China for development...... She looked at Cheng Yan, as if she saw herself in the mirror.
But look at Cheng Yan's style, this revealing and seductive dress, this smoky and flattering style, and the behavior of recognizing an old man as a godfather and serving in front of him, she has completely abandoned her personal ability and talent, and has become the kind of person she looks down on the most, and makes a living from a vassal.
Everything that happened to Cheng Yan made Tu Jiao feel uncomfortable and even shuddered. She wants to stay away from Cheng Yan, and she must not become like Cheng Yan. She Tu Jiao would rather work hard to do business, unscrupulous in order to do business, and become a vicious woman and tiger aunt in the eyes of others, but that is all earned by her own hands, isn't it?
"Nothing. Tu Jiao said vaguely, turned around and left.
Cheng Yan pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, as if she knew that Tu Jiao was this reaction.
Walking into the door of the ward, Zhou Zhishen nailed a pair of eyes to Cheng Yan's body, like a fly seeing an egg flowing all over the ground.
"Why did you just get in!"
I chatted with Tu Jiao. ”
"She told you?"
"Tell me what? She didn't tell me much, she looked down on me. Cheng Yan smiled with relief: "Godfather, you say, when will our Zhou family be as powerful as the Tao family in the capital, so that others will not look down on me." ”
"Even if Haoyi is as powerful as gluttony, there is something about you. When I'm ready, you give me a son, and at that time, Haoyi's money will be yours. ”
"Godfather said and laughed, it's not that you don't know, I can't give birth. Cheng Yan said lightly.
"Don't make excuses, take the tumor off, take care of it, and you will definitely be able to give birth. Godfather, it's for your good. Zhou Zhishen showed a confused look in his eyes: "In my godfather's life, there are many women, but there is no child, if you give birth, you will be the queen of Haoyi Group, and you will be the hero of the Zhou family......"
As soon as Cheng Yan turned around and went to serve Zhou Zhishen water to drink, the corners of her mouth twisted fiercely for a moment.
