Chapter 103: Eating and Drinking
"Come, eat the dishes, these dishes are the signature dishes of my hotel, they all taste good, try them." Wang Aiqin greeted.
"Hey, good ......" Ma Xiaoyao picked up the chopsticks, just wanted to pick up the vegetables, his hand suddenly stopped, and then looked up at Wang Aiqin: "That, Mr. Wang, there is nothing particular about eating vegetables, right?" "Ma Xiaoyao, this is to make the rules of drinking red wine scared.
Wang Aiqin was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head: "It's not particular, just eat it......
"That's good." Ma Xiaoyao put his mind at ease, picked up the chopsticks and ate it: "Well, yes, this braised pork is very fragrant and tender...... Well, this pig's trotters are not bad......"
Seeing the horse gobbling up, Wang Aiqin suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Uh...... Mr. Wang, what are you laughing at? Ma Xiaoyao stopped picking vegetables and looked at Wang Aiqin suspiciously.
"Oh, nothing, I'm just funny to see you eat." Wang Aiqin said with a smile.
“…… This, Mr. Wang, my eating appearance is a little ugly, I hope you don't be surprised......" Ma Xiaoyao said embarrassedly.
"No, no, I don't mean anything else, I just ...... How can I say it, I have invited a lot of officials to banquets over the years, whether they talk, drink or eat, they are all serious, almost unsmiling, and it is the first time I have seen such a casual official as you. Wang Aiqin explained.
"Does the king always praise me, or does he belittle me?" Ma Yaoyao smiled.
"Of course I praised you." Wang Aiqin raised his glass: "Deputy Section Chief Ma, I toast you." ”
Ma Xiaoyao put down the chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Wang Aiqin, just wanted to kill it in one gulp, suddenly remembered that this was red wine, hurriedly stabilized the cup, and took a small sip gently, the wine is good wine, but unfortunately the drink is not happy, Ma Xiaoyao secretly slandered in his heart: I don't know which bastard invented the red wine drinking method, isn't this torturing people!
The wine table is the place where you can connect with your feelings, no, as soon as you touch a few glasses of wine, the relationship between Ma Xiaoyao and Wang Aiqin becomes much closer, and they speak casually.
"Mr. Wang, to be honest, I really admire you, with your own efforts, you have created a huge industry, which is better than us big men." Ma Yao said admiringly.
"Alas...... You only see the brilliance on the surface, but you can't see the hardships behind me. Wang Aiqin said with a wry smile: "At the beginning of the business, I suffered too many hardships and tests, at that time, in order to accumulate entrepreneurial funds, I worked several jobs a day, moved bricks at the construction site during the day, and went to the bar as a waiter at night, and could only sleep four or five hours a day, this is not counting, when I was a waiter in the bar, I was harassed by many guests, if I was not alert, I don't know how much I would suffer...... Fortunately, the manager of the bar at that time came forward to help me out, otherwise I would have suffered a big loss that time......" Speaking of this, Wang Aiqin sighed softly: "I have wanted to give up many times, but in the end I have persevered, I can persist to this day, completely by virtue of a breath, a breath of unyielding, I always firmly believe in a sentence: there will be a return if there is a pay, although the return and pay are not necessarily proportional, but pay, there will be hope for success, do not pay, do not work hard, there will never be a hope of success." ”
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Mr. Wang is right, people must make unremitting efforts, and they must not admit defeat, once they bow to fate, they will only do nothing in this life." ”
Wang Aiqin took a sip of the wine glass: "At the beginning of the business, it was not very smooth, and I lost several times, but in the end I finally survived, in fact, I didn't think that I could have today's achievements, at that time I just wanted to become a millionaire, but then I encountered a few good opportunities, and the company became bigger all of a sudden, and now the assets under my name are estimated to be tens of millions." Wang Aiqin has never counted his property, and can only roughly estimate a number.
"Mr. Wang, you are a role model for my generation, we should all learn from you." Ma Xiaoyao said sincerely.
"Deputy Section Chief Ma, you really exalt me so much, where am I a role model, I'm just lucky." Wang Aiqin said modestly.
"Mr. Wang, I heard that you want to open up foreign markets?" Ma Xiaoyao asked suddenly.
Wang Aiqin nodded: "Yes, now that the country is vigorously developing foreign export trade, I also want to get a piece of the pie, if the big cake of the foreign market is done, the profit will definitely be astronomical." ”
"Mr. Wang is really courageous." Ma Xiaoyao praised.
"It's not so much about courage, it's better to say that I'm ambitious, and I want to open up foreign markets, just to make more money." Wang Aiqin didn't hide her thoughts.
Ma Xiaoyao appreciates Wang Aiqin's straightforwardness very much, Wang Aiqin, a woman, is ambitious, but she is not pretentious, and she is a friend worth befriending.
"Deputy Section Chief Ma, you should be in your early twenties, right?" Wang Aiqin led the topic to Ma Xiaoyao: "It's amazing to be the deputy section chief at such a young age." ”
"Mr. Wang has looked away this time, where am I in my early twenties, I am already a man in Bensan, as for the deputy section chief...... To tell the truth, there are many people in the city who are deputy section chiefs at my age, and even there are many people who are section chiefs and deputy directors, so I really don't think so. Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand and said modestly.
"Is Deputy Section Chief Ma almost thirty years old? I really didn't see it! Wang Aiqin's face was full of surprise.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled, and just wanted to speak, when he heard a piercing bell outside, Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "What sound?" ”
Wang Aiqin listened to the bell, and her face suddenly changed: "It's not good, this is a fire alarm bell!" ”
"Fire alarm bell ......" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed greatly: "So, it's on fire outside......" As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyao stood up and strode to the door, just opened the door, a puff of smoke rushed in, choking Ma Xiaoyao coughed, Ma Xiaoyao covered his nose, looked outside, and then quickly retracted his body, and then closed the door.
"How's it going out there?" Wang Aiqin walked over and asked anxiously.
Ma Yao leaned against the wall and gasped: "It's on fire outside...... What a big fire......"
"Why is it on fire?" Wang Aiqin frowned, at this moment, the mobile phone in Wang Aiqin's pocket rang, Wang Aiqin hurriedly picked up the mobile phone and connected it, and after listening to a few words, her face changed, Wang Aiqin put down the mobile phone and said to Ma Xiaoyao: "The kitchen gas tank on the fourth floor exploded, causing a fire, and now the fire has burned to the fifth floor!" The police have already been called, and the fire engine will be there soon! Speaking of this, Wang Aiqin paused: "However, the fire station is more than 20 kilometers away from here, and it is estimated that it will take at least half an hour for the fire truck to arrive at the scene." "There are two kitchens in the restaurant, one on the first floor and the other on the fourth floor.
"Half an hour?" Ma Xiaoyao's face sank: "I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for half an hour." ”
"Click......"
A strange sound suddenly sounded, Ma Xiaoyao looked back, and found that the door of the VIP room had begun to slowly deform, and a burning smell came out in a moment, and Ma Xiaoyao's face changed: "It's not good, the fire has burned here!" "Wang Aiqin's hotel has been decorated with a lot of wood, which is why the fire spread so quickly.
"What should I do?" Wang Aiqin said urgently.
"Go through the window!" Ma Xiaoyao swept around and walked towards the window sill diagonally opposite, and after Ma Xiaoyao opened the curtain, he was suddenly dumbfounded, and the window couldn't get out at all.
"It's impossible to get out of this building through the windows, and besides, this is the fifth floor, and even if we can open the windows, we can't get out." Wang Aiqin said in the back: "Let's wait here, this VIP room is quite sturdy, it should be no problem to hold on for half an hour, as long as the firefighters arrive at the scene, we will be saved......"
Before Wang Aiqin finished speaking, she heard a crisp sound of "crackling ......", cracks appeared on the surrounding walls, and large patches of white ash fell off the walls.
"What's going on?" Wang Aiqin was frightened.
Ma Xiaoyao's face twitched several times: "The wall is roasted by the fire...... Mr. Wang, if we wait any longer, it is estimated that we will be burned into jerky. ”
"So what to do?" Wang Aiqin was really anxious: "It will take more than 20 minutes for the firefighters to come to ......"
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "You can't count on firefighters now." ”
Wang Aiqin was stunned: "Then who should you count on?" My two bodyguards couldn't stop the fire at all, and the other waiters couldn't count on it. ”
Ma Xiaoyao exhaled softly: "Now we can only count on ourselves." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyao took off his coat, then tore it in two, and then wet the two pieces of clothes with tea.
"What are you doing here?" Wang Aiqin asked suspiciously.
Ma Xiaoyao handed one of the wet clothes to Wang Aiqin: "Cover your mouth with this, let's rush out." ”
"What?" Wang Aiqin's eyes suddenly widened: "Rush out?" It's such a fire outside, it's dangerous for us to rush out! ”
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "We rush out now, it is still possible to survive, if we stay here all the time, we will definitely be burned to death!" ”
I don't know if it is confirming Ma Xiaoyao's words, as soon as Ma Xiaoyao finished speaking, the cracks on the walls around him gradually became larger, countless dust fell off the walls, and the flames could be faintly seen through the cracks, and streams of smoke poured into the VIP room along the cracks, and what made Wang Aiqin most uneasy was that slight cracks began to appear on the ground.
Ma Yao grinned, the quality of this building is too inferior.
