Business at Renjia Hotel is as hot as ever, and even the lobby is almost full.

The manager of the catering department personally welcomed Xia Yunjie and Zhang Yifan to a table near the window. Because there are only two people, and they are both big men, they are naturally not so particular, Xia Yunjie asked Zhang Yifan if there was any food to be taboo, so he took the initiative and ordered two cold dishes and four hot dishes, and asked for a bottle of wine.

After ordering the food and drinks, Xia Yunjie sent the manager of the catering department and told her that she didn't need to come over in person in the future, just treat them as ordinary customers.

The manager of the catering department replied and retreated, but she couldn't figure out Xia Yunjie's temper, so she deliberately found Wang Fei and Wang Zong, told him what Xia Yunjie meant, and asked him what he should do? Wang Fei knew Xia Yunjie's temper, and directly told the manager of the catering department, Brother Jie can do whatever he wants, just do what he wants, but the dishes must be cooked carefully by the chef himself, and there must be no sloppiness.

Only then did the manager of the catering department put his mind at ease and went to the kitchen to explain in person.

"I said Xiao Zhang, it's not like you now, my parents said, you were very brave in Dongzhu City that day." Xia Yunjie couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Yifan sitting opposite him, looking nervous as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Well, that's different." Zhang Yifan blushed and said.

"Hehe, what's the difference?" Xia Yunjie asked.

"You're more bullish than those cops!" Zhang Yifan held back for a long time when he heard the words, and then he held back such a sentence. He really didn't know how to describe Xia Yunjie.

"The friendship of friends is precious in true love, and it has nothing to do with whether the cow is a cow or not. I am the son of Uncle Xia you know, and now I am a teacher at Jiangzhou University, so don't think about the rest. Xia Yunjie smiled and explained.

"Okay, I'll listen to your brother Jie." Zhang Yifan was still quite open, and seeing that Xia Yunjie was kind and kind at all, he was so nervous that he was a lot more nervous, nodded with a smile, hesitated again, scratched his head and asked with a smile: "Brother Jie, can I really learn cooking from Mr. Ren?" I've heard that masters are very strict in selecting apprentices, at my level, will he be able to look at it? ”

"Don't worry, you are my friend, I opened my mouth, he will definitely teach you carefully. If you really don't feel at ease, I'll call him now, and you will quit your job tomorrow and go directly to Beijing to find him, saving you a lot of dreams at night and an unsteady heart. Xia Yunjie said with a smile.

"No, no, I believe Brother Jie's words. It's just so exciting, you don't know, Mr. Ren is my idol! I never dreamed that I could learn cooking from him. Zhang Yifan scratched his head and smiled.

As he spoke, a waiter served two plates of cold dishes and wine.

Xia Yunjie let her open it, and poured it for herself and Zhang Yifan respectively.

Just as he was about to touch the glass, Zhang Yifan pointed to a few people in the restaurant: "Hey, isn't that Zhao Jie?" ”

Xia Yunjie turned his back to the door of the restaurant but didn't see Zhao Jie and the others, and when he heard the words, he looked back, and it was really Zhao Jie.

There are six people with Zhao Jie, four of them are already in their fifties, they should be her elders, and the other pair looks slightly older than her, probably in their thirties, and should be her peers.

"Zhao Jie!" Zhang Yifan was more anxious, and when he saw Zhao Jie, he was more excited, and before Zhao Jie could approach, he had already stood up and waved at her.

"Zhang, Applejack." Unexpectedly seeing Zhang Yifan and Xia Yunjie, Zhao Jie was obviously a little surprised and a little excited, and hurriedly waved at Zhang Yifan and Xia Yunjie.

"Who are they? There is no suffrage in the hotel. A woman who was slightly older than Zhao Jie, with a touch of disdain on the corner of her mouth, asked.

"Cousin-in-law, they are friends I met when I traveled to Hong Kong and Macao a few days ago." A hint of embarrassment and dissatisfaction flashed on Zhao Jie's face, but she still said with a smile.

"Really?" The cousin-in-law said with some disbelief, and the disdain on her face was put away a little. Although it is easy to travel to Hong Kong and Macao now, it should be a small achievement to be able to travel to Hong Kong and Macao at a young age, but she glanced at them slightly.

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for a while, and they originally asked me to have dinner tonight, didn't they just happen to meet us for a family dinner? I had no choice but to refuse, but I didn't expect them to make an appointment to eat at Renjia Hotel. Zhao Jie said with a smile.

"Zhao Jie, I didn't expect to meet you here." Zhao Jie and her cousin-in-law were talking, Xia Yunjie and Zhang Xiaofan had already walked up and greeted Zhao Jie with a smile.

"yes, I didn't expect to meet you here." Zhao Jie said with a smile.

"They must be your family, right?" Xia Yunjie smiled, then turned to the person who came with Zhao Jie, and said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, these two are my parents, these two are my uncle and aunt, they are my cousin and sister-in-law." Zhao Jie introduced with a smile.

Xia Yunjie and Zhang Yifan politely greeted Zhao Jie's parents and others one by one with Zhao Jie's introduction.

Zhao Jie's parents and her uncle are very kind, but Zhao Jie's aunt and her cousin couple have a slightly cold attitude, and inadvertently reveal a trace of arrogance, as if they think they are superior.

Zhang Yifan was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Jie's aunt's attitude, and thought to himself, what a cow is in front of Brother Jie. But Xia Yunjie didn't think there was anything, people, a little ability will inevitably breed some pride, as long as you don't do anything wrong, it's actually nothing. Besides, the person he befriended was Zhao Jie and not them, whether they were proud or not, what did it matter to him Xia Yunjie.

"There are a lot of people here, Zhao Jie, then Xiao Zhang and I won't bother you, you tell me the box number, and I'll go to the box to toast my uncle and aunt later." Xia Yunjie greeted Zhao Jie's family and relatives, and said to Zhao Jie with a smile.

People respect me a foot, I respect people, Zhao Jie is a girl, when she was in Dongzhu City, Xia Yunjie was still very grateful to her for his parents to be brave enough to stay with Zhang Yifan, and even treated her parents as an adult.

"Uncle, they like the taste of the dishes in any hotel, but the box number of any hotel needs to be booked three days in advance, and I made an appointment with my uncle's family to eat together yesterday, so I had to sit in the hall." Zhao Jie said a little embarrassed.

"What's the point of having dinner with my family, I still like the hall, it's lively." Zhao Jie's uncle obviously saw that his niece was a little embarrassed, and smiled to relieve her.

"Hehe, that's more convenient." Xia Yunjie said with a smile, and then specially said hello to Zhao Jie's parents and others, and then returned to his position with Zhang Yifan.

"What is that Xia Yunjie doing? The lad looks pretty good. After Xia Yunjie and Zhang Yifan left, Zhao Jie's mother asked.

"I don't know, but it's also our Shangyang County. Zhang Yifan, I know, is a chef, and he is also from our Shangyang County. Zhao Jie replied.

Zhao Jie's mother actually asked casually, and when she saw that she couldn't get famous, she said "oh", so she didn't say anything, but Zhao Jie's aunt pouted and said, "It turned out to be a cook!" I said Zhao Jie, if you want to find a boyfriend in the future, don't look for a cook, it's too unproductive. ”

Zhao Jie actually has a much better impression of Zhang Yifan than Xia Yunjie. Zhang Yifan is cheerful, enthusiastic, honest and brave, while Xia Yunjie and Zhao Jie have only met once and know very little. So when she heard her aunt belittle Zhang Yifan, she blurted out unconvinced and retorted: "You can't say that, aunt, I heard that the boss of this hotel is a chef." ”

"You girl, how do you talk to your aunt, can the boss of Renjia Hotel be like an ordinary chef?" Zhao Jie's mother glared at her daughter angrily when she heard this.

"That is, Mr. Ren of Renjia Hotel is now a giant in the hotel industry, if you find a boyfriend like him, do uncles and aunts still need to worry about your work?" The cousin-in-law took over and said, a hint of yearning flashed in her eyes.

Obviously, she also yearns to marry into a wealthy family like the Ren family, but it's a pity......

As they spoke, the waiter ushered them to a round table for eight people.

Coincidentally, the round table was next door to Xia Yunjie and them.

The two sides looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh, saying that it was too much of a coincidence.

But no matter how coincidental it is, after all, it is a family dinner, and it seems that they obviously have something to say, Xia Yunjie and Zhang Yifan are not easy to get together, and after laughing, they naturally sit in their original positions and continue to eat and drink.

"Xinyi, Zhao Jie's written test results are so good, is there really no hope? If you need money to take care of it, you tell your aunt that your aunt and uncle have saved a little over the years. Not long after Zhao Jie's family and relatives sat down, Zhao Jie's mother couldn't help but look at Zhao Jie's cousin and ask with pleading eyes.

"Yes, it's all my own family, Xinyi, if I can help, you can help Zhao Jie as much as possible." Uncle followed to help.

"You said it lightly, do you think it's into a corporate unit? That's a government department, but thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge? My aunt gave my uncle a blank look.

"I know my sister-in-law about this, and I know my sister-in-law about this. So don't we have to trouble Xinyi and Lirong? One of them is from the Municipal Finance Bureau, and the other is from the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, they are all so promising, and they are also familiar with the leaders, unlike us in a small place like Shangyang, who are blind to the city and can't do it at all. Zhao Jie's mother said.

"That's right, Xinyi and Lirong are still very competitive, and Xinyi has become the head of the department this year. You must know that it is the Municipal Finance Bureau, which is the most important government department, don't look at it as just a section chief, but even if you are the county magistrate of Shangyang County, you have to be polite when you see her. My aunt said proudly.

"That is, if our Zhao Jie can be as good as Xinyi and Lirong in the future, Zhao Xin and I will be smiling from ear to ear." Zhao Jie's mother complimented.
