In the small lotus pond hot pot, in the private room booked by Li Zeyu, he and Shen Dapeng sat left and right, and Lin Xiaoxiao and Cao Mengyuan sat opposite them.

Shen Dapeng and Cao Mengyuan looked at each other speechlessly, and Li Zeyu and Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know whether they should interrupt this inexplicable and weird atmosphere, so they could only watch in a daze without saying a word.

"Yo, Manager Li is here, and Zhuang Yuanlang is also here? It's so splendid! ”

Some funny Sichuan Mandarin came to the ears of the four people after a few knocks on the door, and when they looked up, it was Boss Tang from Xiaohetang, who was holding a plate of sliced chilled watermelons and vegetarian cucumbers in his hands, and put them on the dining table.

"Boss Tang, you're too polite!"

Li Zeyu was polite, but his mouth was not polite, he first picked up a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth, exhaled the cold air and laughed, "It's so cool, this watermelon is about to freeze into ice, haha!" ”

"Not enough, and more!"

Boss Tang also smiled happily, "Self-cooking hot pot has entered the market, I have seen it, I also bought it back to taste, it tastes good, it has not changed much, I have lived for half a lifetime, and now I finally understand what it means to be a hero out of a teenager, just for the thoughts and opinions of hot pot, I am afraid that our generation will never be able to get rid of the inherent concept, hot pot, must there be fire?" Ha ha! ”

"Boss Tang rest assured, the packaging of the self-cooking hot pot is printed with the regular script imprint of the Tang family in Sichuan Province, the recipe handed down by your ancestors, the taste of your painstaking research, will make the whole country taste it, and will also remember your hard work."

After Shen Dapeng finished speaking, Boss Tang nodded in agreement, "I saw it, I saw it, you have a heart, thank you, and then I will eat in the small lotus pond, all for free." ”

"Heh, Boss Tang, it's a little unrealistic for you to talk like this, knowing that we are going to leave Qingshu County to go to university in other places after the college entrance examination, and we won't have a chance to eat a few meals, so you give us a free meal? What did you do earlier? ”

In order to alleviate the embarrassment between Shen Dapeng and Cao Mengyuan, Li Zeyu did not forget to joke with Boss Tang.

"This ......"

Boss Tang was embarrassed at first, but he also knew that Li Zeyu was joking, pointed at Li Zeyu, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Let's talk, I'll take care of the guests at the other table!" ”

"Good!"

Boss Tang left, Li Zeyu waved his arm, "Open food, open food, if you don't hurry up and rush to eat, I will be out of food in a while!" ”

Cao Mengyuan lifted the chopsticks, looked at Lin Xiaoxiao who was accompanying her, and then looked at Li Zeyu who had already started to eat nonsense on the other side, and finally looked at Shen Dapeng, who was as quiet as her, as if everything had returned to the third year of high school, simple and simple, which made people feel relaxed and comfortable.

It turns out that nothing has changed, and the person you care about has always been by your side and has never left.

After the meal, Li Zeyu sent Lin Xiaoxiao home, and the task of sending Cao Mengyuan home fell on Shen Dapeng, the two did not take the bus or take a taxi, but they walked all the way from the small lotus pond to Cao Mengyuan's house under the residual temperature of the summer sunset, sweat overflowed, but they couldn't stop their desire for the future.

"Shen Dapeng, you have to come on, we will see you at Shuimu University, I will allow you a four-year period, wait for you for four years, wait for you to stand on the top of the mountain, let me admire and let me look up!"

Standing at the door of the house, Cao Mengyuan, who was speechless all the way, finally spoke, her eyes were unwavering, full of faith and affirmation.

"Mengyuan!"

Shen Dapeng muttered lightly, regardless of whether Cao Mengyuan agreed or not, he hugged him into his arms and leaned into his ear, "Believe me, maybe it won't be long before I will be a victorious general, carrying glory that others can't reach, so that others have nothing to say, and you...... Looks! ”

"Is this a promise? Or a confession? ”

Cao Mengyuan's heart felt as if the stone door had been completely knocked open at this moment, and the cold reception he had received in the Cao family in the capital before had all vanished, at this moment, he could only feel the warmth and comfort transmitted by Shen Dapeng, his heart throbbed, and his cheeks were even more flushed.

"It's not a confession, is it okay to count it as a marriage proposal? It's a wedding gift! ”

Shen Dapeng finally took down the package he had on his back and put it in front of Cao Mengyuan, and after opening it, it was a large package of self-cooked hot pot and instant noodles, with all kinds of flavors, everything, "This is my first step, and it is also our first step, and the future is promising!" ”

"Poof!"

Cao Mengyuan covered her mouth and smiled, "What are you trying to do?" Give me such spicy food on a hot day, and I can't get acne all over my face when I get on fire? Are you planning to make me an ugly girl and make Huang Bin give up on his own initiative? ”

"Huang Bin? Scold! ”

Shen Dapeng smiled faintly, and now when he mentions Huang Bin, he obviously doesn't care anymore, what he cares about is the Huang family behind Huang Bin, and the Cao family in the capital that may obstruct the two of them together!

He had been in the capital in his previous life, and knew that the family's power was huge and deep-rooted, and it was almost an indestructible existence in the eyes of ordinary people, but now, for Cao Mengyuan and for himself, he poured it over and overthrew it, without regrets.

It's a pity that Huang Bin was already anxious at this time, and he had no time to take care of Cao Mengyuan and Shen Dapeng.

Under his instructions, Huanglong Supermarket has never sold the products produced by the food factory, and even a bottle of drink from Yingying's classmates has not been put on the shelves, which has gradually caused dissatisfaction among customers, Qingshu County is better, after all, they are honest people in small places, and they don't have too many ideas, but the chain stores in Jinghu City have been repeatedly complained.

There are no Yingying classmates' drinks, canned food, and no small lotus pond series of self-cooking hot pots, which have not been too seriously revealed at the beginning, but with the wave of hype in front of the media, coupled with the fact that students go to the supermarket to 'shop' after the college entrance examination, there is no hot product among the current young people, and there will naturally be a lot less happiness.

Huang Bin finally couldn't resist the pressure, so he could only put aside his personal grievances for the time being, and asked the purchasing department to go to Qingshu County to talk to Pengyu food manufacturers about the purchase, but after he went, he was told to talk to the agent to buy the goods, that is, Longchang Industry in the provincial capital, and the procurement department went to the provincial capital to negotiate.

Longchang Industrial Sales Department, Deputy Manager's Office, Lin Chao is worried about the mountains of orders across the country, in the face of the huge market in the country, the output of the food factory has been in short supply, secretly thinking that next time I go back to Qingshu County, I must talk about this matter with Li Zeyu, the out-of-stock matter, the negative impact on the consumer market is too great.

When I was bored, the door of the office was knocked and pushed open, and a salesman leaned in, "Deputy Manager Lin, the purchasing manager of Huanglong Supermarket in Jinghu City is here, talk about the purchase!" ”

"Let him in!"

Lin Chao's irritability didn't need to be hidden, he waved his hand casually in agreement, but he didn't even look up.
