Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Thanksgiving Banquet
Yuxing received a call from Cheng Peng in the car, and this kid spoke with happiness in his voice: "Yuxing, Liu Fei and I will invite you to dinner at night, you can't refuse, if you refuse me, it will be miserable, Yuxing is a lifesaver." Yuxing could tell that this kid was selling to Liu Fei beside him. Yuxing admires Cheng Peng's method of picking up girls very much, and it has only been three or four days that the two of them can still be together at seven o'clock in the morning.
"It's a really troublesome day, I just promised my mom to go home for dinner in the evening, it's not been two minutes, I'll be guilty of letting her pigeon go. If you and her ask for leave, as long as you can get it, I will have no problem attending the thank-you banquet between the two of you. "Yuxing is really a little scared.
"Well, I'll call Auntie. "Cheng Peng has Zhang Rongrong's mobile phone number.
Yuxing put away the receiver, took the coffee from the robotic arm, and leaned back to the seat to drink coffee slowly. The Kia K2 is quite smooth, no matter how uneven the road surface is, you can't feel a trace of vibration when sitting in the car, and of course this is not the Jishu of Earth Kia.
"Boss, Niuniu has sent a message that the Seventh Fleet of the United States is sailing to the South China Sea. The fleet consisted of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier battle group, which also included the USS Joshin, the USS Sampson guided-missile destroyer, the USS Nickney, and the USS Lentez guided-missile frigate. It also has a nuclear submarine under its water that serves as a reconnaissance and cover operation. Wei Dong reported to Yu Xing after he stabilized.
Yuxing frowned, he panicked when he heard the news, originally he wanted to be stable for a few days and didn't want to toss anymore, but the situation is stronger than people, things are forced to the head, and he has to fight back, otherwise Shijie thinks that Huaguo (Yuxing) is afraid of Mi Guoyan.
"Let Niu Niu pay close attention to the movements of the Seventh Fleet of the United States and report to me at any time. "Yuxing wants to see what tricks Mi Guoyan can play, and how Huaguo responds.
The Seventh Fleet is under the direct command of the Pacific Headquarters of the United States Army, which is now the Joint Forces Command, and its headquarters is located in the port of Kayokosu in the Japanese Kingdom, and the current commander is Vice Admiral John Bird. The fleet has the Japanese Empire's Kayokosu as its overall command area, and its patrol area includes the western Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian coast, from the International Date Line to the east coast of Africa, to the Kuril Islands in the north, and to Antarctica in the south, and from the International Date Line in the east to the Red Sea estuary on the east coast of Africa, to the Indian Ocean and Antarctica in the south, and to the Bering Strait in the north. The entire combat area is 134.68 million square kilometers, which is 14 times larger than the mainland of the United States, and about half of the population of Shijie is in the combat area of the Seventh Fleet.
On the one hand, the visit of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier battle group to the South China Sea is to "strengthen naval cooperation with ASEAN countries and demonstrate its determination to defend the interests of its allies."
The work of the agency is still monotonous as always, Yuxing is chatting on the Internet all morning, Minister Zhao asked for leave today to prepare for his daughter's wedding, Yuxing estimated that Old Man Zhao bought real estate for his daughter and son-in-law.
Yuxing is the only one in the office, these days Yuxing is used to being hugged by a large number of bodyguards and service staff, the feeling of careful and thoughtful service, in this empty office where he is alone, he feels a little lonely, his mood suddenly becomes irritable, he feels that this is a waste of his life, he has a desire to leave this boring and lifeless organ as soon as possible.
Approaching the end of work, Yuxing received a call from Wang Yidan, urging Yuxing to fulfill yesterday's promise.
"Brother Yuxing, can you invite me to dinner today? I'm so bored now, my sisters don't have time to spend with me, please Brother Xing. Wang Yidan's snorting voice made Yuxing fall goosebumps. It was the first time that Yuxing had met a girl who was snorting at him, and his nerves had not yet become strong and could not withstand the girl's soft begging, so he immediately had the urge to agree to Wang Yidan's request. But when he remembered his date with Cheng Peng tonight, he had to be ruthless to reject this girl who made his hormones rise.
"I'm really embarrassed, I still have a dinner in the evening, and I should come down in the morning, so I can't excuse myself. Otherwise, I'll treat you to a big meal in a few days, and the location is up to you. ”
"You're going to be perfunctory to me, won't you invite girls to dinner?" Wang Yidan turned from hair to gossip.
"It was my classmate and his girlfriend who thanked me for connecting them. Yuxing told the truth. He hasn't learned to lie to girls yet.
"It's romantic enough, I can feel it. I can be your female companion, and I won't embarrass you, okay, Brother Yuxing. Wang Yidan's voice was even louder.
Yuxing hesitated for a moment and agreed to Wang Yidan. In the final analysis, it is because Yuxing does not reject Wang Yidan in his heart, if it is a girl that Yuxing doesn't like or even hates, Yuxing will not take her to the dinner no matter how she entangles. The human psyche is so strange.
After making an appointment with Wang Yidan, Yuxing dialed Cheng Peng's phone again and set the location for the dinner.
At the appointed time, Yuxing picked up Wang Yidan and came to a small hotel near Middle Street. When the two walked into the lobby, they saw Cheng Peng and Liu Fei already sitting in the four-person seats by the window in the lobby waiting for them.
Cheng Peng and Liu Fei stood up to greet them, and the two sides made a few jokes before sitting down, Yuxing introduced the three of them, and the three of them politely greeted each other for a while, and then ordered a few side dishes under the reminder of the waiter. Of course, Yuxing's favorite pork and braised fish are indispensable.
Wang Yidan is a very scheming girl, although she didn't expect Yuxing to be able to eat in such a humble restaurant, she will definitely not show surprise on her face. From the moment she walked into this hotel, she had already put down the posture of a rich lady, and tried her best to cater to Cheng Peng and Liu Fei, who were at the bottom of the society. She is a sociable and approachable girl, with her excellent appearance and natural affinity, it is easy to become friends with her no matter what level of people, or will make others feel that she is their friend. In her four years of college, the three roommates she slept with all regarded her as her best friend. Truth be told, this is also her ability and talent, she can make people feel kind and kind is a natural friend.
The wine and food were all together, and the four of them saluted each other, and then chatted casually.
Cheng Peng picked up a glass of beer and said to Yuxing: "Brother, your brother and I have been in a mess for a few years, from today I will work hard for Liu Fei's happiness, I hope brother, you will give me the greatest support and help mentally, if I have slack, you have to remind me in time, if I am stubborn, you can slap me twice, then I will remember today's oath, thank you very much." ”
Liu Fei was pinching Cheng Peng's waist hard: "There are so many people, what are you doing, don't you lose face." ”
Yuxing also solemnly picked up his wine glass and said: "Chengzi, I am not surprised that you said such things today, we grew up together, from elementary school to high school, you helped me all the time, helped me fight, helped me lie to my teachers and parents, and took responsibility for me." Just like my own brother, especially in the past four years, you have been helping me out of the shadows in your way, I know your character very well, it is because of me that you have had a 180-degree transformation, but I believe that from today you will have a 180-degree transformation. ”
Yuxing paused, touched the wine glass with Cheng Peng, drank the wine in one sip and continued: "Today, I, Yuxing, hereby assure you that I will not only remind you to work hard at all times, but also support you unconditionally within the scope of my Chen Yuxing's ability. ”
Wang Yidan's two little hands clapped vigorously: "Wow, wow, wow, Liu Fei and I will testify to you." ”
Liu Fei was also infected by this solemn atmosphere, and with tears in her eyes, she hugged Cheng Peng tightly beside her and choked up: "Chengzi, you will suffer and be tired, don't work too hard, it's good to have you, you will be happy, don't be too tired, okay." ”
Wang Yidan's tears also fell, she hugged one of Yuxing's arms and rubbed the tears on Yuxing's shoulder: "It's so touching, this is aiqing." ”
Yuxing patted Wang Yidan's hand holding his arm with black lines and said, "I said chick, my arm is not your handkerchief." ”
Wang Yidan immediately put on a straight face: "Chen Yuxing, you are too incomprehensible, what kind of person." ”
"Hey, hey, my jacket of more than 200 yuan, you wipe your nose on it and don't allow me to say it, you are unreasonable. ”
"You're still a big man, you can reason with women, you can also speak, can you speak, it's really a wood. ”
Cheng Peng and Liu Fei saw that the two on the other side quarreled first, stopped their lingering and looked at the two curiously.
Cheng Peng observed for a moment and said meaningfully to Liu Fei: "They deliberately, seeing that we are happy, they are jealous." ”
Liu Fei said ignorantly: "It's really heh." ”
The four of them got up at the same time, Yuxing looked at Wang Yidan, and the other party was also looking at him, and both of them saw in each other's eyes that "I see" with a heart. Hearing the sound of the piano and knowing the elegant meaning, both sides understood each other's intentions and did not want to let this tragic atmosphere spread.
