Chapter 119: Lin Xiao's Story
ps: The third update, half an hour late, sorry!
"Brother Liu, do you want to hear my story?"
Lin Xiao held a glass of wine in his hand, leaning on the side of the boat, his face was flushed, and he was already slightly drunk. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
By this time, it was almost dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the sparkling water, reflecting the entire lake in gold.
Wuyan had already drunk too much, and was leaning back on the chair and snoring, Liu Mang was also a little dizzy, and he walked lightly.
"Story?" Liu Mang was indeed a little curious.
A person like Lin Xiao is obviously a rich son, how could he want to be a chef?
"Let's start with my father, who is also a chef, and my interest in cooking was nurtured by him. Lin Xiao craned his neck and drank the wine in the glass.
"When I was very young, I played in the kitchen, watching them chop vegetables, stir-frying, watching the fire rise high in the stove... At that time, I thought that chefs were amazing, like magicians, they must be the best people in the world. ”
"It's similar to me, I grew up in my grandfather's kitchen, and if I didn't think about the family, I would have chosen to be a chef as well. After all, I could no longer think of anything else that would have made me so intrigued. ”
"Originally, I thought that I would inherit his career in the future and learn to cook with him when I grew up. Until I was 9 years old......" Lin Xiao suddenly couldn't continue, his expression was very sad.
Liu Mang walked over and lifted the jade pot to fill him with a glass of wine.
"When I was 9 years old, my father's kitchen caught fire, and he never came out to save two employees who were caught in the fire. ”
A full glass of wine was drained by Lin Xiao in one gulp, and he cast his gaze to the depths of the lake, silent.
Liu Mang patted him on the shoulder: "There are always dark times in life, when I watched my parents and was kicked out of the restaurant at home, I also felt that the sky was about to fall, and the future was bleak." ”
"Actually, I'm still better, because I was still young at the time, and I was sad for a while, and then I was fine. Then two years later, my mom remarried, and I lived with my stepfather, but ......"
"But what? is he abusing you?" Liu Mang's pupils contracted.
"No, he was very good to my mother and me, he had no children of his own and treated me like his own son. ”
"Oh? That's not bad. ”
"It was good at first, but then he made a fortune. ”
"Isn't that good? At least your mother and son's lives are guaranteed. Liu Mang asked a little strangely.
"It's fine if it's small, but he's got a big haircut. ”
"How big?"
"Do you know about Dahan Group?"
"Yes, no one in China knows. ”
Dahan Group is a company that has only developed in the past 20 years, mainly engaged in the real estate industry, the group's total assets have reached hundreds of billions, and its chairman Li Guilin is a frequent visitor to China's Forbes rich list.
"Li Guilin?" Liu Mang asked tentatively.
"That's right, Li Guilin. Lin Xiao nodded: "He is my stepfather." ”
"I thought you were rich, but I didn't expect you to be so rich. Liu Mang said slightly teasingly.
"You must think in your heart that someone like me, except for his background, is simply perfect, right?"
"Well, almost, there is nothing to be desired, nothing is missing. Liu Mang shrugged.
"You're wrong, but people like me are actually miserable sometimes. ”
"Why?"
"Because the people around me are either coming for my stepfather or for me. They have only one purpose, and that is money! and men and women alike. So you will never be able to understand the loneliness in my heart that I have nowhere to communicate with people. ”
"Well, I really can't understand this, I don't have as much money as you, but I still have a few true friends. ”
"So that's why I envy you!" Lin Xiao sighed: "Although you are a poor ghost... Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to. ”
"It's okay, I'm poor, that's a fact. Liu Mang waved his hand indifferently, with an indifferent expression.
"Well, you're really poor, but how can you say it? Poor have backbone! Ever since I met you, I haven't found you like money. ”
"You're wrong, who says I don't love money? No one likes to be a poor bastard! Besides, with money can you give your family a better life!" Liu Mang retorted.
"Luo Badao has found you, right? He also offered you 200 million? Why don't you agree, his price is good, and the brand of your restaurant is really not worth so much. ”
"You investigate me? You are also a lobbyist found by Luo Badao?" Liu Mang's voice immediately became cold.
"Lobbyist, Luo is a fart! How can I see it in my eyes?" Lin Xiao, who had always been gentle and elegant, unexpectedly burst into a foul language.
"Don't forget, I am also a person from Manhanlou, it is normal to hear some news, a person who can resist temptation, a person with noble sentiments, is worthy of being friends with me Lin Xiao!"
"A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. That's because his price is too low, how can he offer 20 billion, maybe I will agree. ”
"Cut! The plaque inscribed by the Qing Dynasty emperor in the 'Manhan Building' can't sell so much. ”
"You just made friends with me because of this? There are more friends to make, those Taoists who live in seclusion in the mountains, those monks who chant scriptures and meditate, can't they all become your friends?"
"Of course it's not all because of this, the most important thing is your talent! Because sometimes, a man's talent can not only attract women, but also attract men!" Lin Xiao thought for a while and found something he thought was more appropriate.
"Haha! I also said that there is no basis!" Five Eyes didn't know when he woke up, and listened to their conversation, laughing straight down.
"Go aside, go to sleep!" Liu Mang and Lin Xiao scolded in unison.
"Well, I drink, I drink. The five eyes replied weakly, ran to the bar, and searched for Lin Xiao's private goods.
"I think I only cook, right? It's not a big deal. Liu Mang said with some embarrassment.
"It's not just about cooking, it's about being a person! These things are essential to a person's success. ”
"That's not necessarily, people like me are generally tragic characters in TV series, and they can't survive more than three episodes. Liu Mang laughed at himself.
"You're underestimating yourself, you haven't discovered your potential yet. Lin Xiao paused, and then said: "You are like a swimming dragon trapped in shallow water, as soon as you have the opportunity, you will soar into the sky!"
"Like this Chef God Competition?" Liu Mang smiled.
"Is this the Chef Contest? But you have to beat me first. Lin Xiao also laughed.
"Having said so much, it's a friend again, it's better for you to just quit, then I'm going to win." ”
"Would you like to?"
"I want to, why wouldn't I?"
"Roll the calves!"
