CHAPTER XVI

This year's New Year's Day happened to be a Sunday, and the school made an exception to let the students take an extra day off, everyone was very happy, thinking that they were about to graduate, this was the last New Year's Day in their high school careers, and Xinlan asked Yuhao to go to the shopping mall to buy some small gifts for her friends. When Yu Hao got home, he checked his small vault first, and saw that there was not much left in it, so he had to ask his mother for it, Jiang Mu was very strange, Yu Hao has rarely asked for money at home, and he gave it to him at the end of the month every month, so he asked for a week. Jiang's mother took advantage of Jiang's father's absence and interrogated carefully, Yuhao was afraid that his mother would be entangled, and when his father came home, it would be over, so he told his mother directly: I have a girlfriend, so the expenses are too big.

Jiang's mother was very happy to see her son tell the truth, and happily gave the money, and then offered to meet Xinlan. Yu Hao didn't agree, took the money and went back to the house to study. Jiang's mother was unwilling to go in several times to inquire about her son's love situation, but when she saw that her son was concentrating on studying and did not rest for a moment, she did not dare to enter. In the middle of the night, when Jiang's father came back from playing cards outside, he closed the door and told him, because Yuhao told her not to tell her father, and after Jiang's mother finished talking with a smile, she sternly told Jiang's father to pretend not to know about it, let alone embarrass the child. Father Jiang has always been tolerant of this kind of thing, and when he saw his wife telling him like this, he thought it was good, so he scolded casually: "Lamb of wolf!" and went to bed.

The next day, Jiang's father saw Jiang's mother go out to buy vegetables, strolled to Yuhao's house, asked a few words about the school, and asked him about his studies, and then took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and put it on the table and said, "You are old, you know that you have studied, this is very good." Mom and Dad are busy with work and can't help you, so you can use the money to buy some revision materials, which will help you study. With that, he turned around and went out. Yu Hao was a little inexplicable at first, but he was excited to see the money on the table. Anyway, his review materials can be piled up, and the money must not be bought again, thinking of this afternoon's date, he feels that today's money is really timely, and he should shout to his father: "You are the timely rain of our family!"

After lunch, Yu Hao didn't have the heart to read, so he simply put down the book and walked to the shopping plaza, but he still arrived half an hour early. Because the weather was cold and Yuhao was waiting anxiously, Xinlan arrived as promised, and the two entered the shopping plaza hand in hand. Yu Hao saw that there were a lot of people, Li Tian was so busy that he couldn't lift his head, and there was even sweat on the tip of his nose, so he squeezed over and shouted softly, "Little sister." ”

Li Tian looked up and saw that Yu Hao was standing in front of a girl wearing a white duck down jacket and a white scarf, looking at him with a smile. Li Tian felt that this girl was so cute, and he was overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly went over to take Xinlan's hand and said, "Don't introduce it yet." Yu Hao hurriedly introduced both sides, Xinlan knew for the first time that Yu Hao had a "sister" and felt a little uncomfortable, but on the surface she still enthusiastically praised Li Tian for her beauty.

At this time, Ning Ling also appeared, he came to pick up Li Tian from work, Li Tian introduced Xinlan to him, and Ning Ling didn't want to stay in the mall longer. He said to Yu Hao: "You two go shopping first, your little sister and I will go back to cook, and you two will go directly to me after shopping." Li Tian also said to Xinlan: "You must come." After saying that, the two turned around and left. Meng Xinlan saw Ning Ling and said to Yu Hao: "I know him, he has fought several times in my house and our school, he beats people very hard, how do you know him?" Yu Hao didn't understand what it meant, and Xinlan didn't want to say much.

After the two finished shopping, Yu Hao thought that Xinlan was unwilling to go to Ning Ling's place, and was in a dilemma, but he didn't want Xinlan to say, "Are we going to Huang Ningling?" Yu Hao smiled and nodded again and again. As soon as he entered the door, Li Tian greeted him with a smile, and Ning Ling hurriedly ran out of the kitchen to express a warm welcome. Xinlan took off her coat and wanted to go into the kitchen to help cook, Li Tian hurriedly stopped, walked to the dining table with her arm and asked her to sit down, and then brought Yuhao to the kitchen to help, turned around and took out fruit melon seeds, and the two chatted affectionately.

Yu Hao squatted in the kitchen to pick and wash, Ning Ling said while frying: "You are really good, chasing girls and chasing one accurate, how did you get this trick?" Yu Hao was very dissatisfied and said: "What kind of deception, I exchanged it with a sincere heart." Ning Ling glanced at him, and the two of them laughed at the same time. Yu Hao said: "I don't know how to catch up, anyway, it's all good." Ning Ling asked: "How long has it been, your mouth is tight enough, this can be regarded as a surprise for us, right?" Yu Hao was proud in his heart, and said: "It's been a while, and it's not to surprise you, I don't have time, or I got it early." Yu Hao then asked, "How does she look?" Do you think it's okay?" Ning Ling said: "She looks average, but it's more than enough for you." Yu Hao opened his mouth wide, looked at Ning Ling and asked, "Ah, ____, you are commenting on this!?" Ning Ling smiled and said happily: "Just kidding, teasing you, to be honest, she looks very beautiful, I think she must have a very easy-going temper, you are content!" Yu Hao agreed, and said: "She has a good temper and belongs to the gentle faction." Okay, you see people have two times. Ning Ling hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "I'm not good at bragging, I'll always tell the truth." Yu Hao sneered: "You don't like to blow, but you can't find cattle on the street." Ning Ling said with a sneering look: "That's not my credit alone. Then the two laughed again.

Ning Ling cooked quickly, and saw that it was almost over, and hurriedly instructed Yu Hao to go out to clean up the table and serve the dishes outside, Xinlan didn't expect that the influential people in the rivers and lakes would actually make a good dish, and couldn't help but say to Li Tian: "You are really blessed." Li Tian said with pride on his face: "It's not good, it's easy to gain weight like this." Ning Ling hurriedly stated generously, and said in a loud voice: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't think so." Li Tian gave him a fierce look, turned his face and smiled at Xinlan. The four young men finished the meal with laughter. When they broke up, Li Tian and Xinlan also gave each other gifts, Yuhao's eyes were hot, and he also stretched out his hand to ask Li Tian for gifts, Li Tian stretched out his hand and "snapped" and slapped him. "This is a gift for you." The four of them laughed again.

Xinlan took Yu Hao's arm and waved goodbye to them, and said to Yu Hao: "It's still early, shall we go home?" Yu Hao deeply agreed, Xinlan was still unsatisfied with tonight's party, and said: "Your relationship is really good, Li Tian is really a good person." "It's just that deep down, I had an ominous feeling about this girl from the beginning, but I can't say it. Along the way, she asked Yu Hao to tell the story of him, Ning Ling and Li Tian in detail. Xinlan's family lives in the north of the city, this section of the road is not close, due to the cold weather, there are not many pedestrians on the road, the two talked about it, unconsciously arrived, and they didn't feel tired because they were young.

Xinlan pointed to a small high-rise building and said, "When I arrive, my family will live there." Yuhao was reluctant, and Xinlan had no choice but to say, "I'll accompany you for a while." After saying that, he led him to the back of a big tree, and the two hugged each other, but neither spoke. Yu Hao lowered his head and stared at her, Xinlan raised her face to look at him, slowly closed her eyes, and her lips opened slightly. Yu Hao couldn't bear it anymore and kissed deeply, Yu Hao kissed for the first time in his life, and he didn't let go of his mouth until he couldn't breathe. Pressing Xinlan's head on her shoulder, she secretly took two deep breaths, and Xinlan said, "I'm really leaving." Yu Hao didn't speak, he felt a little reluctant, lowered his head and kissed her, and the two kissed again. Xinlan patted his face softly and said, "Don't worry, I will let you kiss him enough in the future." After saying that, he ran away shyly.

Ning Ling said to Li Tian: "There is a large and Lecheng called 'Golden Sunshine' that is recruiting, I want to go there and try it, if it happens, it is still close to where you work, what do you think?" Li Tian didn't want Ning Ling to do entertainment again, but Ning Ling couldn't do anything but cook. She had no choice but to agree. This large and Lecheng is located on the south side of the shopping mall, two stops away. Ning Ling reported to a big foreman after the first test for two days, and Lecheng called him to go to the retest, a young man in a straight suit claimed to be surnamed Xu is vice president and interviewed him personally.

The interview process was okay, and when Ning Ling said goodbye and went downstairs, he met a middle-aged southerner, and he felt that this person was so familiar, and this southerner also looked at him a few more times. Ning Ling couldn't remember where she had seen this person for a while. Walking to the front desk, he politely said goodbye to the welcome lady. At this time, a thin and sturdy young man with a hairy inch walked in quickly from outside, the two looked at each other, they were taken aback, Ning Ling recognized this person at a glance as Liu Xinwen's bodyguard, he and Liu Jinliang were not opponents of others back then. At this time, Ning Ling also remembered who the familiar southerner was.

Although this young man didn't see Ning Ling's true face at the scene at that time, he really saw Ning Ling's hard bones at the police station. He stared at Ning Ling and asked the front desk what this person was doing? The waiter at the front desk hurriedly replied, "Yes, I applied for it." Looking at the appearance of the two of them, they were so frightened that they hid to the side. Ning Ling clenched his fists, guessing that he was going to be beaten today, but he couldn't beat it, so he could only go out and fight once. The two stood motionless, staring at each other.

At this time, Liu Xinwen appeared from upstairs, and he said loudly: "Young man, wait a minute." Ning Ling glanced at him coldly, not daring to be too distracted, Liu Xinwen laughed and said, "Don't stand there, come to my office, don't worry, young man, I have no malicious intentions." The bodyguard's face was still grim, but he now put his left hand behind his back, and his right hand stretched out and raised it upward, making a gesture of please. Since Ning Ling strayed into the tiger's den, he couldn't easily get rid of it, although he was still on guard when he went upstairs, and always kept a distance of five meters from this person. Entering the office and looking around, there was no one else but them, slightly relaxed, but he didn't dare to sit down. The young man stood behind Liu Xinwen,

Liu Xinwen still laughed, threw Ning Ling a pack of soft Chinese cigarettes and said: "I love to make friends very much, especially like you, please sit down first, I have no malicious intentions." Although Ning Ling sat down, she was still nervous, Liu Xinwen continued: "I have heard your reputation, I admire you as a good man, if you are willing to come over to do things, it is very good! Ning Ling said: "I'm sorry, Boss Liu, I didn't know this was your shop, if it's okay, I'll leave." After saying that, he immediately stood up. "Wait a minute," Liu Xinwen said with a smile on his face: "I think they are all people on the road, and if they don't fight, they don't know each other, and the so-called grievances should be resolved rather than settled." I welcome you to work here, whatever you want or how much you want to pay. Young man, take advantage of the opportunity, I will not treat you badly. Ning Ling was anxious to get out and said, "Thank you for your kindness, let me go back and think about it, and then write back to you." Liu Xinwen clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I don't think you will let me down." Liu Xinwen deliberately stretched out his hands to shake him tightly, and consciously sent them to his door.

After coming out, Ning Yan wiped a cold sweat and hurried home. He thinks that the entertainment industry can't be done, but what is it good to do, he thinks about it, it's best to learn to cook, have a skill, and don't necessarily have to open a restaurant, at least he can't be hungry to do this. At night, he told Li Tian about what happened during the day, which also startled Li Tian. Li Tian heard that he wanted to learn to be a chef and deeply agreed. Ning Ling said: "If you are a chef, you can't make a lot of money, I'm afraid I can't support you." Li Tian swore and said: "It's okay, I don't expect you to raise it, as long as you can live a peaceful life." Ning Yan asked a few schools, all of which will open after the New Year, and they will not be accepted before the holiday. Ning Ling had no choice but to wait.

On this day, Liu Xinwen called and asked how he was considering. Ning Ling resolutely but politely refused. Liu Xinwen's attitude was still kind, and he said: "I am a trader, I pay attention to harmony and make money, and buying and selling is not lovely." In this way, the day after tomorrow, you can come to the company for a light meal, which can be regarded as making friends, so as not to be embarrassed to meet in the future. Ning Ling didn't want to go, Liu Xinwen said again: "This city is very small, we don't look up and look down, if it's like last time every time, it's not good." It's not good for you or me. When Ning Ling heard this, she couldn't refuse, so she had to agree. As a precaution, he stuck a military thorn diagonally behind his back and tied a dagger to his right leg.

When I got there, I found that there were a lot of people, most of them in suits and leather shoes. A big celebration is taking place. Liu Xinwen came up to shake hands enthusiastically when he saw him. Seeing that it was this kind of scene, Ning Ling relieved his heart. At this time, a handsome host walked to the stage, picked up the microphone and said: "Welcome to 'Golden Sunshine' and Lecheng, thank you for your long-term support to us, on the occasion of the New Year, we sincerely invite all guests to come again to express our deep gratitude." Then the host and Liu Xinwen looked at each other, and continued to say loudly: "Tonight's New Year reception, we want to draw five guests on the spot, and then give away the 'Golden Sunshine' and Lecheng's diamond-level VIP card for free, with the autograph of our Chairman Liu, with this card can be used in Ben and Lecheng for free entertainment for one year! That is to say, if you are lucky enough to get this card, in this new year———— all consumption in Ben and Lecheng is free, without spending a penny! The following sang loudly and resounded with genuine warm applause, and then the host described the rules of the game in detail, with Chairman Liu drawing the first lucky guest, and then the first lucky guest drawing the second lucky guest, and so on...... To show fairness. After speaking, he invited Chairman Liu to come to the stage to personally draw the first lucky guest. Liu Xinwen walked steadily onto the stage and took out a card in a transparent glass case. The host took it and shouted passionately: "The first lucky guest has been born, let's see who he is!" Mr. Huang! Please invite Mr. Huang with warm applause!"

At that time, Ning Ling didn't pay too much attention to the stage, and was sitting at a small table chatting with Mr. Xu, who was interviewing him, and this Mr. Xu was instructed by Liu Xinwen to drag him before Ning Ling accepted the award, and he couldn't let him leave quietly. Ning Ling listened to his name on the stage, of course he was stunned. Mr. Xu took the opportunity to guide him to the stage in front, only to see a strong beam of light shining on Ning Ling's body, Ning Ling couldn't see anyone around him clearly, he could only walk on the stage with his head held high.

The host hurriedly came over to shake hands with him, a hostess held a bouquet of flowers for him, and then Liu Xinwen held a wallet in both hands and handed it to Ning Ling, the host said loudly at this time: "Thank you Chairman Liu, we also congratulate this tall, handsome and handsome Mr. Huang." Please don't be in a hurry, don't be disappointed, after enjoying our next session of singing and dancing, we will draw a second guest. Next, we would like to send our esteemed Chairman Liu and our handsome lucky guest, Mr. Huang, with the warmest applause. Then the host asked the two to step down. Ning Ling won a grand prize in a daze, and felt a little inappropriate in his heart, but Liu Xinwen didn't let him say a word at this time. walked off the stage side by side with him, personally introduced several senior leaders of the company, including Mr. Xu, and shook hands with everyone one by one. He wanted to be straightforward and not let Liu Xinwen misunderstand.

Ning Ling dragged Liu Xinwen, who was about to walk away, and said resolutely: "Mr. Liu thank you very much for your kindness, but I really can't help you, I'm sorry!" Liu Xinwen picked up two glasses of wine from the waiter's plate, handed them to Ning Ling with a smile, and said, "I won't force you to do things for me." I said that I love to make friends, and it's okay if you don't come to the company, but you shouldn't refuse to be my friend. I've always thought that multiple friends are much better than multiple enemies. Ning Ling didn't say anything cruel anymore, and echoed with a smile: "I also like to make friends, especially Mr. Liu, but I really can't help you, I hope you can understand." Liu Xinwen laughed, patted Ning Ling's shoulder, and said, "I welcome you here at any time, after all, talents are rare." If you don't come, I won't force it. I only hope that we will be good friends when we meet again in the future, how about it?!Cheers to us becoming good friends!" Ning Ling still smiled and said, "I am willing to be Mr. Liu's friend, cheers!" Liu Xinwen laughed, drank it all and said, "Then you will come often in the future, and it will be free for you to come as a guest." As he spoke, he pointed to the flowers and delicate wallet in Ning Ling's arms. The two of them were chatting here, and a man in the corner got up angrily and hurried out.
