Chapter 278: Take another sip of wine
Tucked away in the alley behind the cinema, this noodle shop doesn't look like a mountain dew, but the soup is good, the noodles are strong, and the price is fair, and Xiong Daini and her colleagues in the mall like to come here to eat.
Shen Huai ran to the counter to help Xiong Daini order a bowl of green onion noodle soup, and waited for the noodle soup to be made at the counter; Xiong Daini glanced at Shen Huai and asked Chen Dan in a low voice: "Why do you and Shen Huai eat here, why don't he negotiate with the Japanese representative in Nanyuan?"
"I don't know why he's so idle," Chen Dan smiled lightly and said, "I suddenly got nervous and said that he wanted to invite me to watch a movie, and the movie didn't start until half past seven, so we came over for dinner first." ”
Wang Cui glanced back at Shen Huai, saw that he was talking to the waiter at the counter, seeing that he was young, wearing rough cloth overalls, and there were some oil stains on his clothes, except for his good looks, like a little white face, he didn't look like a particularly great person, I really don't understand why Xiong Daini's husband had to get his consent to become the general manager of the joint venture, isn't Xiong Daini's father the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee? This little white face is even more awesome than the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee?
Wang Cui was uneasy in her heart, she knew some rumors about Chen Dan that didn't sound so glamorous, but she couldn't connect the rumored man who should have a bulging belly and an ugly appearance with the young man in front of her, but Xiong Dani and another colleague were present, and she didn't dare to ask Chen Dan for confirmation rashly.
Xiong Daini saw that Wang Cui was Chen Dan's aunt and cousin, and she didn't blame her for causing herself to lose face in front of Shen Huai, but she didn't want to deal with her very much.
Shen Huai took a tray and brought a few bowls of wontons and noodle soup together, Wang Cui stood up to help, Shen Huai gave way to the side, and said, "Don't, I can't eat soft rice, and my hands and feet are not diligent." ”
Wang Cui retracted her hand, her face was there, she was not laughing, she was not crying, she was not leaving, she was not staying.
Chen Dan gently pinched Shen Huai with his hand in the audience, not letting him talk nonsense.
Xiong Daini's embarrassment in front of Shen Huai has not passed, and she wants to finish it quickly after taking the noodle bowl, but she is so hot that she screams and screams, which makes her face red and red, and she loses an inch in front of Shen Huai.
It was still very early before the time to watch the movie, Shen Huai and Chen Dan had planned to go shopping at will, and after eating, they went to the mall together.
There are now two large shopping malls in Donghua City, along with cinemas and other places, which are crowded on Nanshan Street, which is not a large area in Donghua District, and it is also the current commercial center of Donghua City. Although Donghua's economy is underdeveloped, there is such a population base in the urban area, and commercial shopping and other consumption are concentrated in such a small area as Nanshan Street, which also seems to be extra prosperous. On weekends, the mall is crowded.
Xiong Daini from Penghai Trade after the withdrawal of shares to the state-owned Wenshan shopping mall to work, naturally will not go to stand at any counter, but in the commodity department as a deputy chief, she in the early stage because of early pregnancy, at home for a period of time, now the fetus is stable, people are also more energetic, has been at home is not interesting, and then to the mall to work.
In a hurry to have trouble with Zhou Ming these days, Xiong Dani doesn't even rest the night shift as if she is out of breath, but she will not be tired in the shopping mall, and she is more cheerful when dealing with people.
Shen Huai accompanied Chen Dan to the mall, but he just walked around at will, did not let Xiong Dani accompany him, and would not let Chen Dan and her cousin follow, wandered around, or bought popcorn and marshmallows outside the mall and brought them into the cinema to watch a movie hand in hand.
It is also the first time in China to introduce such a lively Hollywood commercial film as "The End of the World", which makes people excited to watch it. Out of the movie theater, Chen Dan was not excited, asked Shen Huai to hold hands and walked out, blew the cold air outside, shrunk his neck so cold, hid behind Shen Huai, hugged his waist from behind, and smiled and asked Shen Huai to help her block the cold wind to the parking lot.
When he went down the steps, he saw his aunt and cousin Wang Cui carrying a big plastic bag, standing in the cold wind and the whole person was blowing up, Chen Dan walked over and asked suspiciously, "Sister Xiaocui, why are you here?"
"The mall is in a hurry to get a down jacket discount, I look pretty good, I just want to add one to my aunt, I don't know when you will watch the movie, just wait for you to bring it back......" Wang Cui held hot air in his hand, and it began to cool down again at night, after nine o'clock, it was cold enough outside, Wang Cui didn't know what the movie would do, and stood at the foot of the steps for more than half an hour, his whole body was frozen, and he pitifully handed over the plastic bag containing the down jacket.
Chen Dan glanced at Shen Huai.
Shen Huai doesn't like snobbery, but he also knows that this society "has clear water and no fish, and no fugitives when people are observed", he knows that Chen Dan is a tolerant person, not a character who will repay him. This is where he likes her, and he doesn't want to embarrass Wang Cui too much, so Chen Dan is caught in the middle of it and embarrassed, and said: "Find a place to drink something, I'm also frozen." ”
Chen Dan went to the café next to it and ordered a few hot drinks to drink, and asked Wang Cui to warm up. She took the clothes away, but insisted on giving the money to Wang Cui.
Although a down jacket is only more than 100 yuan, Chen Dan knows that Wang Cui and Wang Cui's husband who works in the Sanyuan TV Factory in the city are not a small amount of money. At present, whether it is Wenshan shopping mall or the city Sanyuan TV factory, the efficiency is very poor, and even the basic salary is not fully paid, and the life of urban dual-income families is not better than in previous years.
Put Wang Cui's bicycle in the trunk and drive her back, because the alley where Wang Cui's family lives is very narrow, it is still a bungalow area, and because Shen Huai is there, Chen Dan let Wang Cui go down at the mouth of the alley, and did not stop by to visit her family.
Driving Shen Huai back to Wenshan Garden, Chen Dan said: "I thought you would be angry......
"In your eyes, my heart is so small?" Shen Huai smiled, "You know, I wanted to be a little white face who ate soft rice when I was a child, I think, ah, this is a good way to make a living, just ask your cousin to accidentally say it." But don't dislike me. ”
Chen Dan giggled, and Shen Huai said, "You make a phone call and tell your family, you want to stay in the hotel tonight to check the accounts......"
Chen Dan shook his head and said, "Don't do it." ”
It's just that she can't make the decision, Shen Huai has already helped her pull out the key, take her out of the car, carry her on her shoulder and go upstairs, Chen Dan pretended to struggle and laugh.
When I entered the house, I saw Sun Yalin sitting in the living room, holding a book in her hand, looking at them with a look of "disgust": "You two are in love with adultery, and you can steal a little more restraining in cheating, laughing so happily and so lively, I don't know if there is a lonely person in the house who will feel very uncomfortable when he hears it?"
"When did you have the key to my house?" asked Shen Huai in surprise.
"If you don't give me the key, won't I match it myself?" Sun Yalin disdained Shen Huai's surprise, and was about to go out when she closed it, so as not to hinder Shen Huai and Chen Dan from getting together.
Chen Dan was embarrassed, grabbed Sun Yalin's arm, and said, "Shen Huai, he bullied me, I'll sleep with you." But he asked Shen Huai to hug him from behind.
Shen Huai drove Sun Yalin out of the door, like a big bad wolf catching Little Red Riding Hood, hugged Chen Dan and walked into the bathroom, if he really wanted Chen Dan to sleep with Sun Yalin, he was too useless to wear this green hat, and he had to make it clear to Chen Dan that Sun Yalin liked women, and he couldn't let her inadvertently send herself to the tiger's mouth......
Xiong Daini left the mall and walked directly back to the dormitory of the city government office.
Now that she has to work the night shift at the mall, she naturally sleeps at her parents' house under the excuse of being close to the road. Walking back to the dormitory of the city government office, it was only ten minutes, Xiong Dani pushed open the door and saw her father sitting there drinking alone, with a plate of peanuts on the table, her father was already red from drinking, and had no intention of stopping, while her mother sat by and pasted newspaper clippings.
Bai Sumei saw that her daughter had walked back by herself, and asked, "Why did you get off work early, and I still plan to walk over to pick you up?"
Xiong Daini didn't know what to say, she couldn't say that she was upset after seeing Shen Huai and didn't have the heart to get off work in the office, right? She said: "I'm bored at work, so I left half an hour early, thinking about walking by myself," and asked, "Why did Dad drink alone at home, what time is it?"
"Who knows what kind of neuropathy he suddenly has?" Bai Sumei got up and touched her eldest daughter's hand, and said, "It's so cold outside, even if you don't let Zhou Ming pick you up, you don't blow cold wind outside-you are young now, you don't care about anything, you haven't suffered hardship, when I was pregnant with you and Dailing, where did I dare to blow the cold wind like this? Again, you're good, what's the awkward mess with Zhou Ming?"
"Okay, okay, I see, I can't listen to you in the future?" said Xiong Dani, and asked her father, "Dad, aren't you going to negotiate with the Japanese in South Park?" It's also strange, I saw Shen Huai wandering around the street at night, as if you were both idle all at once. ”
Xiong Wenbin glanced up at his eldest daughter, and he really didn't know how to say some words.
As a father, of course he hopes that his daughter can live in peace with her son-in-law, and the family can have a better future.
It's just that Xiong Wenbin can't admit sadly that there are some things that he can't stop at all.
Tan Qiping had already talked directly to Yang Yuquan in the afternoon, although Xiong Wenbin didn't know the specific content of the conversation yet, but he could also figure out that Tan Qiping's next move was to isolate Shen Huai in Tangzha District, which means that Tan Qiping is likely to no longer tolerate Shen Huai's next "misconduct" and "disobedience".
Similarly, although Shen Huai made certain concessions in the joint venture project, if the joint venture project was smashed in Zhou Ming's hands, Shen Huai was likely to use this to force Tan Qiping into the palace.
And in order to restrict Tan Qiping from mixing sand with Meigang and Meixi Town, Shen Huai will certainly not honestly give all the resources to Zhou Ming so that he can do the joint venture project.
Just looking at everything in front of him, Xiong Wenbin didn't know what he could say, and no one would listen to him and stop. Tan Qiping talked to Yang Yuquan and didn't say a word to him in advance, which shows that Tan Qiping no longer trusts him as much as he used to be;
Xiong Wenbin was extremely depressed, but he couldn't spit out a word, so he had to take another sip of wine......
