Chapter Eighty-Five: The Smiling Hongmen Feast
During the morning rush hour at work, all the traffic arteries are impassable, which is why Li Xiaotian left first without waiting for Qingxuan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoYou know, if you come out one minute early, you may arrive at the company ten minutes early. And the consequences of coming out late can be imagined.
When Qing Xuan patiently drove to the company, it was almost nine o'clock. Sometimes, walking is actually faster than driving. When there are more and more cars, it has reached the point of flooding, and at that time walking is more advantageous than driving.
Walking is fast and eco-friendly, and it also exercises the body. Driving is slow, polluting and wasting energy, and it also makes people's bodies more vulnerable. That's why developed countries are calling on people to stop driving and walk to work. It's a shift in the way we live for the sake of the planet we all live in, and we all have an obligation to do something to protect the environment.
After going around the company, the employees in the company were busy with their own things step by step, and he saw that there was nothing wrong, so he slipped out of the company and went to the hairdresser near the company to get a haircut. There are a lot of people in the barbershop, and every barber has a job in his hands. Qingxuan had no choice but to sit on the leather sofa and wait.
He pulled out his phone and played a video game on it when the phone rang suddenly. He thought there was a letter from Xiamen, so he hurriedly picked it up. A girl on the other end of the phone shouted sharply, "Hey, bandit, where are you?" I didn't come back from Macau. β
Qing Xuan hurriedly moved the phone three inches away from his ears, this loud voice, no need to guess, who else could there be besides the wild girl.
Qingxuan: "I said, can you be quieter, Miss, why are you so loud, my ears are not deaf." β
Xiaoxiao: "I'm in the mall, it's too noisy here, I can't hear it when I'm quiet." He shouted at the top of his voice.
Qingxuan: "Oh, I said, I'm in the barbershop, and I've been back to Shenzhen for a few days. β
smiled: "Don't you want to see me if you don't call me when you come back?!" β
Qingxuan: "I'm sorry, grandma, I forgot about this stubble, you don't care about villains." β
Xiaoxiao: "Then when do you have time to invite me to dinner to show reparation?" β
"This......" Qing Xuan thought, she will go to Xiamen in a few days, regardless of whether this girl is looking for me today because of the problem of no makeup, but she will not be able to find me in the future. While I'm free today, I'll go and see her and see what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd. Thinking of this, he readily agreed: "Just today, it just so happens that I am free today." You say where to eat, and I'll drive over after cutting my head in a while. β
Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said: "Go to the Longmen Inn below the Regal Riverside Hotel, I heard that the new hand-dismantled crab roe set has been launched, which is very delicious." When it came to the meal, I couldn't book a place. How about we go and try it? β
When Qing Xuan heard this, he thought to himself, damn, I really know how to choose a place and go to the Longmen Inn, as soon as I hear these four words, I will reflexively think of the proprietress played by Maggie Cheung in the movie, specializing in making human meat buns for guests to eat. Could it be that this is a Hongmen feast? Later, I thought about it, no, this is my own invitation to others, not the invitee. If you want the Hongmen banquet, she is also Hong, and that Hong is not herself. Thinking about it like this, he was relieved, so he readily agreed: "Okay, just follow what you said, go to the Dragon Gate Inn." β
Xiaoxiao saw that Qing Xuan was so happy today, and he was very happy: "Okay, see you later." At the end, she added: "See you or leave." β
hung up the phone, Xiaoxiao immediately dialed another phone, and after a few simple words, hung up the phone again. After the arrangement was made, she went to the sixth floor of the mall and changed the clothes she bought yesterday to a smaller size.
About two hours later, Qingxuan came out of the barbershop. There were so many people in this barber shop that he waited for nearly an hour and a half to get it done. And his hair was straightened in half an hour. If he hadn't gotten used to coming here to cut his hair, he would have changed barbershops a long time ago.
After looking at the time, it was already half past eleven.
It was raining lightly outside, and the sky was foggy. The road was wet, and the cars followed one by one and drove slowly and carefully. The traffic lights at the intersection alternately change to evacuate the vehicles stuck at the intersection in four directions: east, west, north and south.
The sun had already taken refuge behind the clouds, and the air was filled with moist moisture. People walked towards their destinations with umbrellas, and the colorful umbrellas resembled colorful poisonous mushrooms that could walk.
Qing Xuan ran a few quick steps, ran to the side of his silver-white Mazda6, opened the door with the remote control, and then got inside. He turns the key, starts the engine, then taps the accelerator and turns the steering wheel. The car left the car park and headed towards Sha Tin Road.
The wipers mechanically oscillated on the front windshield, blowing the rectangular windshield out of two giant fans, which stared hollowly and blankly ahead like a pair of giant eyes without pupils. The atmosphere in the car was dreary, no music was played, and no CDs were played.
Qing Xuan occasionally glanced out the window, the skyscrapers that passed him were bathed in the continuous drizzle of June at this time, and the gray faΓ§ade was now washed shrewdly and transparently. And those high-rise buildings under construction are looking at this new world with excitement as if they have been reborn. Through the giant advertising wall, they show their steel and iron bones, and in the near future, they will stand out from the crowd and become the overlord of this land.
On both sides of the road, the dense foliage of the straight street trees is also shining, and they prefer to bask in the damp summer rain than the scorching sun. They stretched their waists, twisted their arms, they cheered, and they even wanted to let go of their voices and sing a song. This is in stark contrast to the dull atmosphere in the car.
Outside the Regal Riverside Hotel on Tai Yong Kiu Road in Sha Tin, a security guard had already come over and instructed the vehicle to park in the designated parking space. After the car stopped, the security guard took a few steps and came over to open the car door for Qingxuan.
Qingxuan got out of the car, turned around and locked the car with the remote control. As he turned around, he glanced at the security guard in front of him. The security guard was a skinny man, in his thirties, with a Chinese face, small eyes, and thick lips. He asked Qing Xuan diligently how many floors he would go to, and Qing Xuan said, "How to get to the Dragon Gate Inn?" β
"Sir, please go this way." The security guard took Qingxuan to the entrance of the Dragon Gate Inn, which turned out to be a luxuriously decorated underground restaurant downstairs from the Regal Riverside Hotel. As soon as I entered the door, the waiter greeted me and asked politely, "How many gentlemen, do you have a reservation?" β
Qing Xuan was just about to answer, but he saw Xiaoxiao beckoning to him inside, he hurriedly waved his hand, ignored the waiter and walked in. It turns out that this guy has been here a long time ago. Qing Xuan thought to himself. However, when he got to the seat, he realized that there was more than just a smile, there was another person in the seat! And this person is none other than the one he can't hide even if he wants to-- no makeup. This is really a feast!
