Chapter 11: Belated Love
Mina is twenty-six and seven years old, her face is covered with delicate heavy makeup, a pair of willow eyebrows are slender and slender, and a pair of red phoenix eyes are shining, it can be seen that she is a very tasteful, shrewd and capable working woman.
She deliberately behaved politely when greeting Zhang Xiaoyue, perhaps because the traces of this polite "work" were too obvious, so Zhang Xiaoyue was impressed by her, she obviously felt that this girl looked at her with a little arrogance, even a little hostile, as for why, she didn't know.
After the people from the two companies got to know each other, Peng Jiangming looked at his mobile phone, and it was already 6:12 in the evening, so he asked Zhang Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, it's not early, let's go find a place to eat." ”
"Well, okay. ”
Peng Jiangming said to several young people: "Today is a good day for me to reunite with my old classmate Zhang Xiaoyue after fifteen years of separation, we should celebrate well, so let's do it, the restaurants in Nangang are relatively small, we have a total of six people, go find a restaurant to eat, where the countertops are relatively large, there are six-seat seats." ”
"Okay, it's crowded. Sally's mood was high.
A group of six people took the subway to the bustling business district of Nangang, after several selections, Peng Jiangming took everyone to a "Hubei style restaurant", he once entertained customers here, knowing that this is a restaurant opened by the boss of Hubei, which has authentic Hubei cuisine, he and Zhang Xiaoyue are both from Hubei, just enough to taste the authentic hometown taste.
After taking their seats on the second floor of the restaurant, the four young people from the two companies seemed to have discussed in advance, and they tacitly reserved two seats next to each other for Peng Jiangming and Zhang Xiaoyue.
In the interval between waiting for the food to be served, several young people were playing with their mobile phones while chatting with each other, and everyone reached a tacit understanding without disturbing the conversation between the bosses of the two sides.
At the dinner table, the topics that Peng Jiangming and Zhang Xiaoyue chatted about seemed to be insignificant, but in fact, in the process of talking, some of their inadvertent small movements and eyes still clearly exposed their true relationship.
Since entering the private room and taking a seat, Peng Jiangming's eyes have been moving with Zhang Xiaoyue, and even the theme of ordering food has revolved around her.
In front of his first love, who he hadn't seen for many years, Peng Jiangming's mood was almost out of shape, and he almost forgot his demeanor and majesty as a boss, every time the waiter served a dish, he said to Zhang Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, this is your favorite pearl balls, we have eaten them in Wuzhou before." ”
"Xiaoyue, this is your favorite seaweed soup, your stomach is not good, drinking this soup can nourish your stomach. ”
"Xiaoyue, this is stir-fried shredded potatoes, you have loved potatoes since you were a child. ”
"Xiaoyue, I know that you drink lotus root pork rib soup, it is difficult to find this dish in Nangang, and when you return to Nanzhou after the exhibition, I will accompany you to eat authentic Hubei cuisine and taste the characteristic hometown dishes. ”
After many years, Peng Jiangming can still clearly remember Zhang Xiaoyue's taste, and her heart feels warm and sweet, although this feeling has been cooling for fifteen years.
Considering that there were four young people at the table, she had to avoid sensitive topics: "Hehe, old classmate, I have a heart, after so many years, you still remember my taste, in fact, I have lived in Nanzhou for a long time, and I have long been accustomed to the light diet here." ”
"Oh, that's it, I've lived in Ningzhou for a long time, and I'm gradually getting used to the food there, but as long as I eat Hubei food, the feeling is still different, after all, the taste of my hometown is the most unforgettable. ”
While eating vegetables, Peng Jiangming recalled his hometown, no matter how long the wanderers left home, their hometown will always be the longest-term concern in their hearts.
"Yes, no matter how long I have been away, the memories of my hometown are always so real. ”
From the content of the chat and the demeanor of the two bosses, the four young people saw that their relationship could never be as simple as "ordinary classmates", and to what extent, they did not dare to make assertions.
During the meal, there was one person who paid extra attention to what they were talking about, and on the surface she didn't interfere with them, but in fact she had been carefully watching their every move and silently jotted down what they were talking about.
She is Peng Jiangming's foreign trade secretary, a young and fashionable urban girl Mina.
