Chapter 88 Unexpected
At half past eight o'clock in the evening, Chang Xiao's figure appeared in front of the Thousand Crane Tower, Chang Xiao has always had the habit of arriving early, as for what gifts to buy, he has not thought about it, so his hands are now empty, and he is not completely sure what the situation is, and it will not be too late to buy gifts after determining the situation.

Chang Xiao walked into the Thousand Crane Tower, and the business can only be described by the word 'Xinglong', but the strange thing is that Chang Xiao neither saw Xiaoying nor Li Jie, they were all fresh faces, but then again, he had only been to the Thousand Crane Tower twice, and there were no familiar faces to speak of.
The more Chang Xiao went to the Thousand Crane Tower, the more he could feel the fiery feeling, Chang Xiao walked all the way to the cash register, but there was no empty seat as far as he could see, it was really hot.
Looking at the girl in front of the cash register, Chang Xiao showed a handsome smile and said, "Beauty, are Cheng Ying and Li Jie there? I am their friend." ”
"They were upstairs in the second box on the left. ”
"Thank you!" Chang Xiao smiled and nodded, then turned around and went up the stairs to the second floor, walked to the door of the second box on the left, knocked lightly, and said at the same time: "Xiaoying, Brother Li, are you there?"
As soon as Chang Xiao's voice fell, the door opened from the inside, revealing Li Jie's honest face with a hint of joy, but Chang Xiao saw a faint sadness in his eyebrows, and a trace of doubt flashed in Chang Xiao's heart, it seems that the situation here is not quite the same as he imagined.
Sure enough, when he entered the room, in addition to Li Jie, who opened the door for him, there were two men and two women, one of the two women was Xiao Ying, and in the same situation, he also saw a trace of sorrow and a trace of incomprehensible anger on Xiao Ying's face.
After Chang Xiao swept over the faces of several other people, he probably came to a conclusion in his heart, the man with a round face and a hint of a smile on his face should be the boss of this Thousand Crane Tower, that is, Xiao Ying's brother, the fashionable woman holding his arm, either his girlfriend or wife, and the other man with a hint of evil smile on his face, his facial features are handsome, and his eyebrows and eyes reveal a sense of wealth and nobility, and most importantly, his eyes have been locked on Xiao Ying's body, and even Chang Xiao's appearance did not let him divert his gaze at all。
It seems that the source of Xiaoying and Li Jie's sorrow should be this man with an evil smile, but until now, he still doesn't know what the meaning of his appearance is? Could it be to cheer for Li Jie? No!
But if he is temporarily used as a shield, there should be no problem, after all, he is also a serious rich and handsome, the kid opposite is the one who is completely explosive in terms of appearance, as for the family background, he should also be able to complete the opposite, well, maybe this is his role?
Soon Xiaoying stood up and introduced the two men and one woman to Chang Xiao, which was basically the same as his conjecture, the two who accompanied each other, the male is called Cheng Lei is Xiaoying's brother, and the female is called Yao Qian, Cheng Lei's fiancée, who is already engaged and is expected to get married next year, and the evil man is called Yao Guang, Yao Qian's cousin, and Cheng Lei has always wanted to match Xiaoying.
Yao Guang's father is the largest shareholder of a large catering company in Hancheng City'Longcheng Hotel', he and Yao Qian came to Qianhe Tower for the first time, and after seeing Xiaoying for the first time, he launched a crazy pursuit offensive against Xiaoying, but Xiaoying ignored him at all, so he had to find another way and began to start from Cheng Lei, and sure enough, with Yao Qian's help, Cheng Lei soon completely stood on Yao Guang's side.
And Li Jie, just an ordinary person, opened a small restaurant by himself, which is the Jianji restaurant that Chang Xiao has been to, although the business is very good, but it is also a small business, and compared with the Longcheng Hotel, it is no longer on the same level at all, that is, because Xiaoying really likes him, otherwise he would have been kicked out of the game, and today is also his last chance, and it is also a chance that Xiaoying won for him.
"Li Jie, what do you want to compare?" Yao Guang still looked at Xiao Ying with his eyes, and said to Li Jie in a condescending tone.
Li Jie saw Yao Guang's careless appearance, his fists couldn't help but clench tightly, and his fingers turned white, but he couldn't feel the slightest strength, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart, feeling that he was so incompetent at the moment.
"Brother Li, what, better than what?" Chang Xiao gently patted Li Jie's shoulder and smiled at him encouragingly.
"We have to compete in cooking today, and if I lose, I will have to give up the opportunity to pursue Xiaoying. Li Jie's voice was very low, and he put too much pressure on himself, because he was in love with Xiaoying from the bottom of his heart.
"What you are best at is better than anything, believe in yourself, only by believing in yourself, you can make the best food, and you can't let Xiaoying down!"
Li Jie looked at the undisguised expectation in Xiao Ying's eyes, and Li Jie suddenly felt a powerful force emerging in his heart.
Chang Xiao smiled slightly when he saw this, Li Jie's confidence was finally re-established, he was still very confident in Li Jie's cooking skills, but it was limited to fresh meat soup dumplings, after all, he had not eaten other dishes.
"Buns!" Li Jie said calmly, his eyes looking directly at Yao Guang, like a sharp sword, just like his determination at the moment.
"Okay, yes!" Yao Guang still didn't look at Li Jie, and his voice was also superior, and he simply looked down on Li Jie.
Chang Xiao sat on a chair in the corner, watching coldly, his task today is to be a referee, which is also an opportunity that Xiaoying has won.
After Li Jie decided on the competition items, Yao Guang directly called the Longcheng Hotel and found a master with the best pastry skills, of course he would not compare himself with Li Jie, even if he wanted to compare, he would not! And this is also the rule of the game, Li Jie can only choose to passively accept, this is Xiaoying has no way.
When Yao Guang called, he deliberately amplified his voice so that everyone in the box could hear it, and at the same time glanced at Li Jie with disdain, as if looking at an ant, which cast a faint haze on Li Jie's heart.
Chang Xiao sat there calmly, opened his mobile phone directly, and browsed the web, as long as Li Jie maintained a normal level, there should be no problem, after all, if it is not a big hotel, it must mean that the chef's level must be top-notch, and the same small temple can also appear as a big Bodhisattva.
Except for Chang Xiao playing with his mobile phone, the rest of the people didn't say a word, kept quiet, and everyone maintained eye contact very tacitly, this atmosphere made people feel very depressed, especially Li Jie, as for Yao Guang, the smile on his face never stopped, you can't see the slightest tension in him, as if everything is under his control, and the ending is already doomed!
