Chapter 01: Thieves are rampant
(Food stalls)
In summer, food stalls are often set up early, and the square wooden table with a few blue rubber chairs makes a simple table utensil. There are already many diners sitting in front of the table one after another, a strong man in a sleeveless vest, holding a large handful of skewers in his hand and eating indiscriminately, urging the boss to serve the food in his mouth; A young man leaning back on a chair to smoke and drink beer with his clothes lifted to reveal his belly; Wearing a simple long skirt without losing her appearance, the gossip woman is talking for a long time...... The stall owner was sweating profusely with his hands and feet, sweat trickling down his neck into the corners of his clothes, his entire back was soaked, and his mouth kept dealing with the urging diners: "Okay, okay, it'll be fine right away." ”
Obviously, Mo Liangwei has become accustomed to it, although she and Qi Chen's family backgrounds are comparable, and they grew up with a golden key in their mouths since they were born, but Mo Liangwei often tries all kinds of things in the world in order to experience life, but Qi Chen, who grew up together, has never been exposed to this kind of environment. Everyone in front of them was talking loudly without any scruples, the noise of the street bustle, the shouting of the boss ordering the clerk to serve the food, the sound of beer glasses colliding against each other. This is completely different from his previous Western restaurant, which was full of French style and everyone used knives and forks to eat elegantly. Qi Chen was stunned for a moment, probably expecting him to have such a reaction, Mo Liangwei walked straight past his body and walked forward calmly to open the chair and was about to sit down, but the next second he was suddenly quickly pulled behind a man.
"Achen, what are you doing...", I turned my head and saw the clerk with the steaming dry pot crayfish passing by less than a meter away from the position he had just had, and swallowed the words in his stomach halfway through the question.
"You sit here with me." I don't know when, the chair next to her feet has been polished by Qi Chen, reflecting the colorful light of the light sign on the street.
Thinking of the heartwarming act just now, and looking around at the food stalls that were full of black smoke and miasma, Mo Liangwei couldn't bear it: "Or, let's go eat something else, right?" ”
After all, it is difficult for people who are used to eating delicious food to eat food stalls for a while. Unexpectedly, the man sitting opposite actually took the initiative to take the menu.
"Boss, two portions of spicy crayfish, two portions of salt and pepper snails, one portion of roast lamb and scorpion fried flower nails, three plates of chicken feet in sauce, and one more shrimp and crab."
Suddenly, Mo Liangwei and the waiter at the shop were stunned, and the person who was eager to wipe the rubber chair spotlessly just now actually ordered more than a dozen plates of street food. Isn't this girl clean, fake Virgo? Mo Liangwei was a little difficult to be confident.
"It's not Achen, can you finish ordering so much?"
Looking at the dishes that were served to the table one after another, Mo Liangwei sat on the chair.
"If you can't finish eating, don't eat it, don't hold it up, it's always okay to taste everything." It's all for you anyway.
Qi Chen wiped the disposable chopsticks, and he didn't say the last sentence, only thinking in his heart.
"But if you can't eat so much, it's wasted."
"It's okay, Xiaoyi is at home."
The first child is a Labrador retriever that Qi Chen's grandfather has raised for a long time.
"But most of the things in here can't be eaten by a small one."
Mo Liangwei was speechless and held her forehead: "Dogs should avoid eating seafood to prevent foreign objects from getting stuck, classmate Qi Chen." "I can't believe that Xiao Yi has been living in his house for four years.
Qi Chen was stunned for a few seconds and said indifferently: "That's it, then you can eat as much as possible, anyway, it's better to give it to the dog than to eat it." ”
"It's just, you can't waste it." Mo Liangwei took the chopsticks handed in her hand and echoed.
Wait a minute. This sentence... I feel like you're scolding me around the corner. Mo Liangwei quickly gave him a sharp look: Speak well.
Probably realizing that he didn't express it accurately just now, Qi Chen deliberately sat up straight, and his thin lips and teeth closed one by one: "Don't get me wrong, I mean that feeding a dog is the same as feeding you." ”
"......" beautiful! No problem! It's better to explain it than not to explain it. Looking at the man who was still sitting solemnly opposite, Mo Liangwei always felt that he was taking revenge on himself. I'm really curious about how such a woodfish man who doesn't speak out of tune was admitted to the 8th level of piano music.
Mo Liangwei finally shrugged helplessly: "Let's eat." Then he turned to greet the boss
"Uncle, please come back with five pieces of beer!" She hadn't touched alcohol for more than a month, and today she was going to drink happily.
The night is full of stars, the streets are still noisy, the gorgeous neon lights shine on every bustling street, the colorful lights of high-rise buildings are dazzling, and the transparent glass curtain wall has become a huge display screen, regularly switching between different advertising pictures and posters of popular stars. A pure black Maybach is driving on the Huangpu River Bridge.
"Boss, the sponsor of NOKA Group specially invited you to attend the new product reception tomorrow, do you need to help you arrange tomorrow afternoon's itinerary in advance?"
Cheng Tezhu skillfully drove the car and asked a man in the back seat wearing a tie and a black suit. The smooth rear view window reflected his handsome facial features through the light, and he sat sideways with his long legs folded, a man in his early twenties and early sixties did not raise his head, his slender fingers were looking at a document, his magnetic voice came from his throat, and his sexy Adam's apple surged up and down with his speech.
"Well, two hours early."
Cheng Tezhu, who received the message, replied and continued to drive, and the man in the back seat suddenly seemed to remember something, then closed the file, raised his head and leaned on the back seat to relieve the fatigue just now: "The cooperation project of the Ding Group is given to me." ”
"S-" The sound of sudden emergency braking sounded.
The man in the back seat was almost about to rush out when his center of gravity was unstable, but fortunately, he held on to the edge of the car seat in time, the expression on his face was obviously a little confused and unhappy, and next to his ear was Cheng Tezhu's cautious mouth.
"Sorry boss... I think I forgot this file in your car..."
The air froze at this moment, the man's handsome face instantly blackened, and outside the car was an endless stream of vehicles, and the shrill horn sounded back and forth.
It's over, it's over, how did I forget the documents that the boss was going to check tonight, Amitabha... Amitabha bless... Cheng Tezhu waited calmly on the surface, but in fact, he was terrified in his heart.
Finally, he couldn't bear the terrible silence anymore, and tentatively asked, "That... Boss, why don't I go back and get it now? ”
Like a child who has done something wrong, he buries his head and clasps his fingers uneasily, not daring to face the man behind him who is not moving, but quietly raises his eyes from the mirror on his head to observe the man's actions. A cold gaze shot straight over, which made Cheng Tezhu shudder: If the boss is really angry, my bonus this month will be wasted again, my beloved new sneakers......
Finally, the document in his hand was thrown aside by the man, and he raised his hand to unbutton the second button of his jacket, and seeing that he seemed to be about to get off the car, the special assistant hurriedly unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car to open the door of the back seat, showing the standard "flight attendant smile" in a flattering manner. A slender black figure in front of him walked straight to the driver's seat, and Cheng Tezhu was still busy following despite his dazed face.
The man actually opened the car door, and his slender long legs stepped in directly, and the doubts in his heart arose in his mind, and he wanted to persuade the boss not to be so tired to go back to the company in person, as an assistant, it was also appropriate to run hard. In my heart, I secretly rejoiced that the boss of the iceberg finally had a little human touch and began to understand his subordinates.
"Do you want me to send you?"
The man had fastened his seatbelt, and the cold sound of his left hand propped up by the car window rang in his ears.
"Huh?"
The two looked at each other, as if they felt that a crow flew over their heads, Cheng Tezhu looked at the man in front of him who did not send him any intention, and then realized that it was not the boss who went back to the company to get the documents, and he had to find a taxi on the Pujiang Bridge, where the vehicle was extremely difficult to get a taxi on...
"Aha, no... I don't need the boss, how can I bother you to send me, I'll just take a taxi myself. Cheng Tezhu was embarrassed and polite.
"Directly to my house" seemed to hear a satisfactory answer, and the man added, "Before half past eleven." ”
After speaking, he held the steering wheel with one hand and started to start the accelerator, and for a while the car quickly drove out
"Boss, pay attention to safety, goodbye boss~"
Behind the car, Cheng Tezhu was so diligent that he bent down to instruct, looking at the vehicle that was gradually moving away, he turned to pouted and complained: I'll just say, how can the iceberg melt in an instant, after all, it was one person who carried it all.
Glancing down at the watch on his wrist pointing to half past ten, he immediately panicked and beckoned his hand to find the vacant vehicle, tearing his voice: "Taxi - taxi - "
On the other side, most of the diners in the food stalls have left, seeing that the girl is about to fall on the table, and the next second she is gently hugged into her arms, Mo Liangwei only felt that there was a warm breath coming from her side, and her two hands were so messy that she was pulling something in her mouth: "Come on!" Go ahead and watch me... See... I won't you down. ”
Qi Chen looked down at the small-sized woman in his arms with a flushed face, couldn't help laughing, got up and picked her up. Feeling the restless struggle of the kitten in his arms, he coaxed in a low voice: "Drink, can you continue to drink when you go home?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the person in his arms really didn't move anymore, but he still muttered quietly: "Go home and drink... Drink..."
He couldn't help laughing: he still drank it, knowing that he had to drink so much after three cups. Fortunately, he asked the boss to mix the extra wine into water in advance, otherwise he didn't know what Mo Liangwei would do if he drank more.
Qi Chen carried Mo Liangwei on his back and walked all the way under the guidance of only the dim street lamp, and deliberately brought a coat before going out for fear that she would catch a cold at this time, he enjoyed this moment very much. Just like when he was a child, Qi Chen will always be the one who will send Mo Liangwei home safely no matter what. The difference is that when I was a child, the girl on my back fell asleep, and now the girl who grew up is drunk.
Turning his head to look at the sleeping person on his back, he found that the coat draped on his shoulders was about to slip off, Qi Chen had no choice but to put Mo Liangwei down and lean on himself, and put the coat back on her as gently as possible, and was about to bend down to continue to carry her, when suddenly a black vehicle scurried towards them, and the piercing horn was getting closer and closer......
