4. Chapter IV
Qiu Jinyu, who was pushed into the door, was a little helpless, but she didn't hate Li Guanxiao, so she didn't get angry or anything, but she was more concerned about what Li Guanxiao was going to say next.
Li Guanxiao's eyes lit up, and the pies that fell from the sky one after another, she was a little overwhelmed, "Jinyu, can I ask you something" Li Guanxiao laughed twice, poured out a glass of water from the kettle on the coffee table and brought it to Qiu Jinyu's face, Qiu Jinyu was confused by Li Guanxiao, who suddenly became attentive, didn't she know that her place of work was so special?
Li Guan pursed her lips with a smile, and she thought of the wording before she spoke, "Jinyu, how are the preparations for your company's auction now?" Although Li Guanxiao knew that Qiu Jinyu might not know it completely, they had been planning for a year, and there should be some news up and down the company.
Qiu Jinyu's beauty was lightly picked, it turned out that this cup of diligent water was for such a purpose, she picked up the water cup and took a sip unhurriedly, and her tone was very calm, "No accidents, it should be very smooth."
Li Guan smiled and saw that Qiu Jinyu did not look repulsed, so he immediately chased after the conversation and went, "That Jinyu, do you know how many companies are invited to the exhibition after the auction?" She couldn't wait for this answer.
Qiu Jinyu's eyes rolled slightly, and she searched for those lists in her memory. "There are about thirteen!"
"Thirteen! In other words, there are two places left! Oh buy karma! This is too urgent" Qiu Jinyu grabbed her head with both hands, her face was melancholy, and she didn't know if Yun Tian would hand their recommendation to Tianhe for a week.
"What are you asking for?" Qiu Jinyu asked quietly, but she probably guessed Li Guanxiao's thoughts.
"Uh...... If I can enter that exhibition, the next chance for promotion will be mine! But this is quite difficult," Li Guan smiled twice, and she also muttered to herself, "Yuntian has put so much energy into it, and I don't know if I can be recommended in the end...... Hey...... "When I thought that her mouth was worn out on Yuntian's side today, the answer she got was that she would consider it, Li Guanxiao knew that there were two traders who wanted to figure out Guò Yuntian's way to enter that exhibition, and it was really unknown whether they could really take into account their inconspicuous small company.
Hearing Li Guanxiao's self-muttering complaints, Jin Yu's eyes flashed with a moment of appreciation, I didn't expect this woman to be able to see through this layer of relationship, her eyes are sharper than many men. "You can report your company's products to me, and I can help you show it to the planning manager tomorrow when I am free" Qiu Jinyu felt that although Li Guanxiao had a good eye, it did not mean that their company's products were worth exhibiting at the exhibition.
"Huh? Can you help me with the planning manager? Oh, thank you so much! Li Guanxiao felt a happy thunderbolt in the sky hit her, what happened to her this month? Could it be that all the good fortune of this life is concentrated in this month?
"Well, I don't have a good relationship with her," Qiu Jinyu lied.
"Thank you so much, Jinyu! Oh yes! Have you eaten dinner? After being excited, Li Guanxiao remembered that she hadn't eaten dinner today.
"No" Jin Yu shook her head, and after Li Guanxiao asked, she felt that she was also hungry.
"Then I'll cook you a delicious meal tonight, you've also tasted my craftsmanship, can you compare it to the chef of the hotel?" Li Guanxiao is 100% confident in her craft, she loves to eat and is afraid of spending money, she has been studying cooking since she worked, and finally she has practiced a good craft.
"Oh, okay" Jin Yu did not refuse this time, after tasting Li Guanxiao's craftsmanship, I have to say that Qiu Jinyu is looking forward to the next time.
Li Guan smiled and hummed her little song and happily went to the back room to return her home clothes, Qiu Jinyu twisted her head to observe this woman who was not a few years old from her, her happy appearance at this time was no different from those little girls in their early twenties, Qiu Jinyu's mouth couldn't help but hook a smile that he didn't even notice. Li Guanxiao, who had changed her clothes, came to the kitchen to put on an apron, and she poked her head out of the kitchen with a spatula, "Aren't you going to change clothes?" Qiu Jinyu originally planned to go to the colleague's party at the bar in the evening, and she went home halfway just to release the article, but she didn't expect to meet Li Guanxiao, and she was going to make a sumptuous dinner to entertain her, so she had no reason to refuse Li Guanxiao's kindness again.
Qiu Jinyu went to the bedroom to change her clothes and quietly leaned against the kitchen door, her eyes fell on the woman wearing an apron to fry vegetables, she quickly stir-fried the dishes in the pot, the upside-down pot drew a skillful arc on the stove, the range hood above her head was smoking, and a strand of black hair slipped from Li Guanxiao's forehead, at that moment Qiu Jinyu seemed to see her mother who was busy in the kitchen. Since her mother died, she hadn't entered the kitchen again, and whenever she stood by the stove, she would miss her mother like crazy, and she would think of the smile that her mother struggled to pull out for her at the last moment, as if it could prick her every nerve, her nose was a little sore, and the figure in her eyes became a little blurred.
"Jin Yu, go to that plate, I can't spare my hand" Li Guanxiao turned his head and saw Qiu Jinyu leaning against the door, just in time, her last dish was about to come out of the pot. Qiu Jinyu was stunned, and only then came out of the sadness that she was aroused, she came to the cupboard, took out a few beautiful blue and white porcelain plates and handed them to Li Guanxiao, Li Guanxiao served the hot dishes, and then sighed again and again, "The last time I sorted out the cupboard, I felt that this set of porcelain was delicate and beautiful, and I was much happier to eat with it."
"Well, my mom ...... this set of porcelain Loved it too"
"Oh? Auntie likes it too? I'll just say, women at home will like these delicate things, next time let my aunt come over and try my craftsmanship together" Li Guan said with a smile.
She ...... I passed away when I graduated from college."
Li Guan smiled embarrassedly and wanted to pinch himself, "Yes...... I'm sorry I ......."
"Let's eat," Qiu Jinyu diverted the topic, she didn't want the atmosphere between the two of them to go in an awkward and weird direction.
"You go and serve the rice, I'll serve the food," Qiu Jinyu pointed to the rice cooker with a green light with his chin. He picked up two dishes and walked towards the dining room, Qiu Jinyu finished the meal, holding a plate in one hand, a bowl in the middle, and a bowl in his right hand, walking forward a little awkwardly.
"Let me come, it's a pity to sprinkle this plate of crispy tenderloin later!" Li Guanxiao hurriedly took her "careful liver" and put it on the dining table. Under the illumination of the headlamp, the three dishes all exude a slight heat, the crispy tenderloin exudes a golden luster, the small fried bamboo shoots on one side have a delicate fleshy feeling, and the other plate of stir-fried lettuce has successfully aroused Qiu Jinyu's taste buds. The white rice is only a foil to the side, and the simple cooking seems to hide the taste of happiness.
Li Guan smiled and took off the floral apron she bought, and sat down opposite Qiu Jinyu with satisfaction, "Eat crispy tenderloin first, I've made improvements!" Li Guanxiao picked up a piece of fried golden tenderloin from the plate and put it on Qiu Jinyu's rice, the tenderloin was also poured with a slightly sour but slightly floral sauce, the crunchy taste filled the mouth with a bite, the crispy dough coat was like playing the piano on the taste buds, and the tenderloin meat in the dough was not dead at all, the gravy was roped in the dough shell, and with the breach flowing into the mouth, the plump meat aroma floated into the stomach, occupying every taste bud, and the slightly sour sauce was just right to relieve the greasy feeling of the gravy.
"It's delicious, your craftsmanship is really good" Qiu Jinyu didn't eat one enough, she took a few bites of rice and picked up another piece. Li Guanxiao looked at the way she ate, and a sense of pride came to her heart, "Don't eat meat all the time, you can also eat some food, it's a pity that this bamboo shoot is not new" Li Guanxiao looked at the yellowish bamboo shoots on the plate, and the fresh bamboo shoots that her mother dug back from the bamboo forest when she was a child appeared in her mind, and she would always fry a plate, even if there was no meat, the tender taste was still remembered in her heart.
"Not bad, it's delicious," Jin Yu tasted.
"Hey, next time I invite you to my hometown to eat fresh bamboo shoots, in the bamboo forest behind my house, a lot of bamboo shoots emerge in spring, my mother will dig them in the mountains for me, and then go home and stir-fry a plate, not to mention how delicious it is."
"Listen to what you said, I want to eat it" Jin Yu looked at Li Guan who was dancing and smiled, she picked up the thin and uniform lettuce slices that had been cut with an oblique knife and put it in her mouth, and the rich garlic fragrance added a bit of amazing taste to this light dish. Unlike the heavy MSG of those stir-fried vegetables outside, you can hardly eat the taste of the original vegetables, Qiu Jinyu tasted the fragrance of vegetables here. "Which man marries you in the future, he will be blessed" Qiu Jinyu ate seriously, such a way of admiration was not so pleasant to Li Guanxiao's ears, she didn't even have a boyfriend now.
"Hey, it depends on whether I can get married" Li Guan smiled and took a bite of food, speaking of this, it was a pain in her heart, almost all of her old classmates were married, and she was either showing her baby or her husband in her circle of friends all day long.
"Huh? Don't you have a boyfriend yet? Qiu Jinyu stopped the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, she felt that Li Guanxiao's delicate face and virtuous skills should not be difficult to find a boyfriend.
"I used to, but I found that I didn't feel much for him anymore, hey...... I don't know why...... I don't always feel so strong about men, but it's too early to get married......"
"Don't force yourself to get married, if you don't meet the right person, you should never get married, otherwise you will ......" Qiu Jinyu's brows couldn't help frowning, and her face turned a little colder.
"That's right, if you get married for the sake of getting married, you won't be happy" Li Guanxiao pouted and put the last bite of food into his mouth, and the three dishes were swept away by the two of them, "I'll wash the dishes, go and rest when you're tired" Qiu Jinyu was very understanding and picked up the empty dishes and chopsticks and walked to the kitchen, looked behind him, and found that the woman was stretching, and the halo of the headlamp sprinkled on her side face, which looked comfortable and memorable.
Their relationship seemed to slowly become familiar this night, and it was not until she finally fell into Li Guanxiao's arms that she realized how much she loved this woman.
