14. There's nothing that a hot pot can't solve

When I got out of the office building, the cold wind came like a knife, I tightened my scarf and walked quickly to my car.

On the side of the car, Lin Jiangnan stood with his arms crossed, moving back and forth in place slightly, looking frozen enough. I choked on the cold wind and shouted to him: "Get in the car, get in the car!" ”

I started the car and turned on the heater, and we shivered in unison.

"Why didn't you leave?" I asked him.

"When you see people in fire and water, how can you stand by and watch." He rubbed his ears, "Is it still in time?" ”

"Very timely." I nodded solemnly in affirmation, "Whose phone did you call me?" ”

"Parking security. I'm afraid that Cao Hui will see the name of the caller displayed on your mobile phone. He raised his thumb and pointed at himself, "How's that, isn't it particularly thoughtful?" ”

"Meticulous! Meticulous like a male protagonist. I patted the steering wheel, "Say, what do you want to eat, I'll have a treat!" ”

"Hot pot."

Just what the doctor ordered!

The car is almost hot, and the car is also warm. I pulled the seat belt buckle, and suddenly remembered something, so I asked him, "What about your little Fu Yun?" Isn't she going to take your car home? ”

"My car is limited today." He turned to look at me, "She's not mine, she's the clouds." ”

"Ouch, tsk." I said in my heart that it was a pity that the little girl was affectionate, "Don't like this type?" ”

He said: "There is a Haidilao in the Peony Garden, okay? ”

"I know that." I took my phone to open the music software, opened the music software and searched for it, connected the Bluetooth to the stereo, then released the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out. The sound of huqin and gongs and drums came from the stereo, and Lin Jiangnan was stunned for a moment, "What is this?" ”

"Peking Opera excerpt "Drumming and Scolding Cao"!"

"So far, there is a traitorous Cao Cao, who bullied the Son of Heaven and pressed the bureaucrats, I have the heart to sweep the thief for the master, and I lack a murderous knife in my hand......"

Lin Jiangnan laughed when he heard this, "What did Cao Hui tell you?" ”

"Putting interests with me, which means that he can influence the outcome of the competition, let us win the bid if he wants us to win the bid, and then tell me how much profit he can give our company, so that I can live realistically. To be honest, if I hadn't looked at the face of money, I would have beaten him a long time ago! Am I not realistic enough? I snorted disdainfully, and asked Lin Jiangnan again: "Why is he so crazy?" ”

"His uncle is a senior executive of Jiangmei, and the general manager here also wants to give him some face. He can't be said to be useless, but he is not outstanding either. This time, he was able to be transferred to Beijing to participate in the formation of the new company, largely because of his uncle's relationship. I heard that his uncle originally wanted to try to make him the general manager of the Beijing company, but he didn't succeed, after all, Cao Hui's qualifications were still not enough. ”

"I see, I said how did he go back to his hometown as soon as he graduated? Look at his face now, it's almost like 'I'm a cow X' on his face. I scoffed.

"What did you and Cao Hui have before?"

"What can there be for the holidays. He just wants to play a bloody play of 'you disdain me in the past, and you can't climb up to me now'. He also takes himself too seriously, why don't he put a dragon chair in his office! I glanced at him, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Looks like he's really you off enough."

"He's annoying me enough! It's been ten years and it's still so ghostly. As soon as I remembered that I had been chased by such people, I felt that I might not have done enough good deeds. Don't men like young girls, what do you think he has to do with me? ”

"I think it's more about what the girl is, not what age she is."

"Yo? Do you have a connotation in complimenting me? I questioned.

"Do you hear that? I thought I was boasting a bit of a subtle one. He flicked his hair and feigned regret.

My mood has dissipated and the clouds have turned cloudy.

The prompt tone of the mobile phone rang suddenly, interrupting the drumming and scolding Cao, and it happened that the red light was on, and I stopped the car and opened the message, which was sent by Xu Yijing, "Did you propose it when you went to Orange today?" What do you think? Is Cao Hui still normal? ”

"Don't mention it! I'm listening to the drums and scolding Cao right now! ”

Xu Yijing sent a string of laughter, "What did he do again?" ”

The green light turned on, and I turned to her and said, "I'm driving, I'm going to dinner." After saying this, I glanced at Lin Jiangnan, and said, "Lin Jiangnan is in my car, don't you want to thank him?" Why don't you come over along, this time, please. ”

"No problem, right?" After putting down the phone, I asked Lin Jiangnan.

"Absolutely." He said.

Lin Jiangnan and I waited at the door of Haidilao for a while before we got into place, and we just sat down when Xu Yijing arrived. I took the PAD that I ordered, and without raising my head, I said, "I don't need to introduce it, right?" ”

Don't look at the crazy demon that Xu Yijing usually talks about, he is a with fresh meat and tender grass, but he is very serious in front of the real person, and he shook hands with Lin Jiangnan, with a friendly smile, just like meeting a work partner during non-working hours, "I'm really sorry for what happened last time, I caused you trouble, and I haven't had a chance to thank you in person." ”

"You're welcome, it's been so long." Lin Jiangnan also replied to her seriously, "Besides, it's a trivial matter, and it's not enough to worry about it." ”

I looked up from the PAD, "Can you two talk normally?" ”

"What's not normal?!" Xu Yijing glared at me, and then couldn't wait to sit down next to me, "Tell me, tell me, what did Cao Hui talk to you about today?" ”

My desire to complain was instantly ignited by Xu Yijing's gossip on her face.

Lin Jiangnan reached over and took the ordered PAD at the right time. I said to him, "You can order whatever you like, we have no taboos, we love to eat everything." ”

This hot pot was hearty. I first complained to Xu Yijing about today's incident, and then the two of us told Lin Jiangnan about Cao Hui's 'great achievements' when he was in school. Lin Jiangnan listened very carefully and didn't talk much, but he smiled appropriately when he should laugh, which made Xu Yijing and I feel a sense of accomplishment.

And what he said the most throughout the whole process was: "The mutton is good, the beef is good, the shrimp is smooth......"

It was almost 10 o'clock after eating, and the night was dark and cold, but we had a hot pot bottom, and our whole body was warm. After a meal, Xu Yijing and Lin Jiangnan are also familiar, and they are no longer polite at the beginning.

"Next time, let's make an appointment in Nanluoguxiang." Xu Yijing said to Lin Jiangnan.

I laughed at Xu Yijing, "What are you going to do?" Are you missing that pole? Do you want to drink? ”

"I'm just to wash away this impression, don't think about Nanluoguxiang and my name in the future, all I think about is me holding a telephone pole." After Xu Yijing finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Let's go first, and then make an appointment!" ”

Xu Yijing came by car, so she had to drive her own way, and I was responsible for sending Lin Jiangnan home. He asked me if I needed navigation, and I waved my hand, "No, I'm familiar with that place!" ”

"What do you want to hear?" After getting in the car, I turned on my mobile phone and connected to the stereo to ask Lin Jiangnan, and said with a smile: "No need to listen to the drums and scold Cao anymore." ”

He looked at me, "Sure enough, there's nothing that can't be solved with a hot pot." ”

"Yes, there is no such thing as a spit."

"Then I'll look for it." Lin Jiangnan took my mobile phone, typed a few words in the search box of the music software, and said to me: "Since we are in a good mood, let's listen to some happy songs." ”

He pressed the play button, and the sound of guitar and drums sounded in the car, which I felt a little familiar, and as Zheng Jun's lazy voice came out, I couldn't help laughing, "It's really a happy song." ”

There is no eternity, but there is tomorrow

Maybe tomorrow everything will change

You don't have to worry about going unaccompanied

I will accompany you all the way to the end

I'm not the most beautiful flower

But I'm going to bloom joy for you

I'm going to be angry,

Bloom –

I don't know if everything will change tomorrow, but at least I didn't end the day with a bad mood.

When I got to Jiaotong University, I stopped on the side of the road and looked out of the window, "Do you live far away from here?" I'll drive you there, it's cold outside. ”

"It's on the side of the road." He gestured to the neighborhood next to him. I took a look, it's called Changhewan Community, which is full of multi-storey slab buildings, and it looks like the environment is pretty good.

"Why don't you find a room near the company?" I asked casually.

"I'm used to living around here." Lin Jiangnan unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and got out of the car, then turned back to me and said, "It's late, you pay attention to safety, send me a WeChat message when you get home." ”

"Okay." I nodded.

He closed the door, and I waved at him as usual, regardless of whether he could see it or not. Like last time, he stood on the side of the road and watched me drive away.

As soon as I entered the driveway, I saw a woman walking briskly towards him in the rearview mirror, and I only looked at it, and she seemed to be pretty good-looking, thin, long-haired, very young.

I was stopped at a traffic light at the intersection, and I couldn't see Lin Jiangnan and the girl in the rearview mirror. I took out my phone and flipped through it aimlessly, and then clicked out Zheng Jun's "Blooming" from the playback record of the music software.

I reap the joy and the torment

You deserve everything I do

To laugh brightly glooms the world

Even sorrow is incomparably vivid

I'm not the most beautiful flower

But I'm going to bloom joy for you

I'm going to be angry,

Full bloom!

Jiaotong University is very close to Fuchengmen, where my home is located, and I arrived home after a song was broadcast. When the fire was turned off, Zheng Jun's last 'furious release' came to an abrupt end. I carried my bag and pushed the car door, thinking that I would remember to tell Yan Hua tomorrow that a handsome boy of her age really doesn't have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, so she should go on a blind date in a down-to-earth manner.

After entering the door, I sent a message to Lin Jiangnan and told him that I was home.

A quarter of an hour later, he replied to me: "Okay. ”
