At this year's party, everyone had a tacit understanding, and they didn't bring their families, and there were Lin Yao, Jian Wen and Li Renhai in the huge box.

Li Renhai is nominally the boss, but in fact he plays the role of running the hall.

He put a tray on the table, and Lin Yao also got up to help, putting the plate of dishes on the round table.

Li Renhai's father seems to be good at some big dishes, braised pork, braised fish, braised lion's head, pigeon soup, black chicken soup, appetizer soup, boiled shrimp, spicy crayfish, burnt salt skin shrimp......

It is available on land, sea and air, and it is full of portions.

The table is full of dishes, steaming hot, making people feel very appetizing at first glance.

Lin Yao took out a piece of paper and wiped away the soup that had accidentally spilled on his hands, "Li Renhai, your table of dishes is enough for more than a dozen people, right?" ”

Jian Wen glanced at the dishes on the table, and was also taken aback, "This is too much, how can we finish eating?" ”

Lin Yao added, "We're not saying polite words, but we really can't finish eating so much." ”

Li Renhai smiled disappreciatively, "Wait a minute, just let go of your belly and eat, it's okay if you can't finish eating or not!" ”

According to the old tradition of Chinese people, the host will prepare more food, aiming to make everyone eat to the fullest, and there is surplus, so that they can appear hospitable.

Guests are sure to say "too much" and "too much to eat...... and so on, and then the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

"I came by the standard of nine people, who would have thought that the result would be just three of us." Li Renhai lifted his glasses and explained: "The main thing is that I didn't expect that my wife would be unable to leave because of something temporary, even Cheng Yang had to work overtime, and the most unexpected thing was that Lin Yao still came alone!" ”

The point of Li Renhai saying this was how Cheng Yang worked overtime, and why he ran to work overtime, and Ti Lin Yao was just by the way.

Jian Wen only frowned slightly and did not answer.

Lin Yao asked dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with me coming alone?" ”

Li Renhai said with a smile: "I thought at the time, I haven't seen you for so long, Lin Yao should find a good boyfriend, and she will definitely bring her boyfriend over when the time comes...... blabla”

"Blame me?"

Lin Yao was a little embarrassed, it was not that she didn't want to take Qin Rongze, but with their current way of interacting with each other that was more like an underground affair, not only could she not take Qin Rongze to the dinner, but it was best not to even mention him.

Li Renhai pushed down his glasses again and quipped: "I've told you a few times, I have a little brother, he is very good, he is handsome, and he is still single." I asked you to meet him, but you wouldn't. ”

It's a blind date again......

Lin Yao said with a shocked face: "Boss Li's main business of Wangjiang Building is to drink tea and eat, and make friends and blind dates on a side business?" ”

"This is a value-added service for super VIPs, and ordinary people don't have this opportunity at all......" Li Renhai paused, and then his eyes lit up, "Eh~!" I think you have a great idea, you can have this! ”

Lin Yao was shocked again, she was talking nonsense casually, Li Renhai actually took it seriously again!

"You're making fun of me right now, aren't you?" Lin Yao feigned anger, "Hey, can you give me enough to stop?" ”

Li Renhai smiled and said: "That's not good, you are also my brother, insert two knives into my brother, ah no, I should do to insert a knife in my brother's ribs......"

Li Renhai and Lin Yao have always been like this.

If it was in the past, every time like this, Jian Wen would smile and watch them be noisy, occasionally gag, but this time she seemed unusually silent.

It was as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

"I won't talk to you anymore." Lin Yao waved his hand at Li Renhai and said, "There are already a lot of dishes here, tell your parents to stop burning them, come and eat them quickly." ”

Li Renhai smiled at her indifferently, "It's okay, we eat ours, they eat theirs." ”

In today's society, most of the families in Zhejiang are one-child families, and the status of children in the family is often the highest in the family.

Whenever a child has a friend, many parents will take the initiative to retreat and give their children enough space.

Li Renhai has obviously become accustomed to this.

Lin Yao got up directly and walked out, "If you can't call them, then I'll call them." ”

"No, no, no!" Li Renhai hurriedly stopped her and explained with a smile, "Actually, they are embarrassed to eat with us, they have already left food for themselves." ”

Of course, Lin Yao disagreed, "Jian Wen and I came to eat, what are your parents embarrassed about?" If the master doesn't come, how can we be embarrassed to move the chopsticks first? ”

Li Renhai thought about it for a while, and felt that it was the same reason, "Then you sit here, I'll just call them over." ”

After saying this, Li Renhai hurriedly came and left.

The big box was quiet, only the sound of the air conditioner blowing was left, and the sumptuous dinner carefully prepared by Li Renhai's family on the table was steaming.

Jian Wen drooped her head and sat quietly in the imitation wood ancient circle chair, looking depressed.

Lin Yao was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was not difficult to understand.

Li Renhai's wife is the financial director, and she must be extra busy at the end of the year, so it is normal for her to not come.

Jian Wen is different, Cheng Yang is just an ordinary official ape, where does he come from so many shifts to add?

Although Cheng Yang is infatuated with Jian Wen, they are not married yet, and now it is like this, if he is really married, he will not be at home all day?

Lin Yao felt that it was necessary for her to remind Jian Wen, "Why is your Cheng Yang working overtime again?" ”

"Hmm." Jian Wen had some reaction at this time, the expression on her face flashed unnaturally, and she said indifferently: "If he likes to work overtime, let him work overtime, I don't bother to care about him." ”

Lin Yao glanced at her, "If there is really something, don't hide it for him, it's better to say it and discuss it with us, you know, I am the one who is determined to be your bridesmaid." ”

At the beginning of the year, Jian Wen said that Cheng Yang's family was ordering a wedding banquet or something, but it turned out that it was already a month at this time, and there was no news.

It's incredible.

Jian Wen pulled her lips, tried to laugh but couldn't, tears instantly filled her eyes, and she choked up and said, "He and I won't get married." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she burst into tears.

Not the kind of howling and crying, but with restraint and forbearance, crying silently, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Lin Yao and Jian Wen have known each other for a few years, and they have only seen her confident, calm, and calm appearance, how have they ever seen her cry silently?

Lin Yao hurriedly hugged her and patted her on the back, "When was it?" Why don't you talk to me, okay, I can go over and accompany you. ”

Jian Wen had tears in her eyes, "On Christmas Eve, he said he was going to work overtime, but he didn't come back until the next day...... I actually believed him until I found a long dyed hair in the passenger seat. ”

Jian Wen's hair color is naturally dark and has an excellent luster, she has never been dyed, and that long dyed hair must belong to another woman.

Lin Yao explained: "Don't make up your mind too early about this, Cheng Yang treats people warmly, maybe he just drove his female colleague home after working overtime." ”

When I take a female colleague home, do I need to stay up all night?

Even Lin Yao himself didn't believe this kind of thing.

Jian Wen's voice choked and said, "He confessed to me that he has been dating that woman for almost a year, and his family has also seen her." ”

"A year?" Lin Yao was shocked, "But, aren't you already preparing to get married?" The wedding room is ready, the wedding photos are taken, and even the wedding banquet is ......"

Cheng Yang's parents have been booking wedding banquets, but who ordered wedding banquets, and they couldn't book them from the beginning of the year to the end of the year?

Jian Wen smiled bitterly, "What's the most ridiculous, do you know?" It's all like this, Cheng Yang also said that he wants to marry me, and he and that woman are just playing on the spot! ”

But he drove Jian Wen's car to play with others!

For some reason, Lin Yao remembered the first time she saw Cheng Yang two years ago.

*Reminiscence*

In the cafeteria, several long tables were put together to form a temporary conference table, and Chairman Qin sat on the head and talked eloquently.

"Hard work creates brilliance! At present, China's economic situation is changing with each passing day, and Lingyun Industry is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges! ”

Cheng Yang's face was filled with a smile that was so enthusiastic that it was a little flattering, and he applauded and applauded from time to time, and the atmosphere was very warm.

The banquet was staggered, only Lin Yao sat alone in the corner, and she didn't go to toast once, and no one toasted her, so she sat there quietly and ate.

At that time, Cheng Yang barely ate much himself, and kept running back and forth for Jian Wen.

He took a drink for a while, cut meat for a while, peeled the shrimp for a while, and carefully sent it to Jian Wen after peeling the shrimp.

Not only that, but he also took all the food that Jian Wen didn't want to eat or couldn't finish eating when it was cold in front of him, and swept it away at a very fast speed.

Jian Wen raised the corners of her lips at him slightly, and Cheng Yang suddenly smiled like a fool.

……

That scene seems to be still in front of him, who could have guessed that in the near future, he will take wedding photos with Jian Wen, take other girls home to meet their parents, and drive Jian Wen's car to have a tryst with others.

And after he did this kind of thing, he was actually embarrassed to tell Jian Wen that he would marry her?

Before getting married, he had already stepped on two boats, what would he do after he got married?

Jian Wen intermittently told her and Cheng Yang's situation.

Their wedding room was prepared by Cheng Yang's family, with Cheng Yang's father's name written on it, and Jian Wen didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

According to the convention, the man went out of the house, and the woman went out of the decoration and household appliances, so the suite was decorated and arranged by Jian Wen.

They don't have a license, they don't have a drink, and at most they can only be considered fiancés, if they break up......

Lin Yao groaned, "What are you going to do?" ”

"How?" Jian Wen raised her eyes, looking a little dazed, "I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to renovate the house, even if I don't have ownership, I always have the right to use it, right?" I plan to stay there......"

In fact, even if she lived in that house, it was nothing at the beginning, but it was even more annoying.

Lin Yao asked, "What if he takes the opportunity to entangle you?" ”

Jian Wen said categorically: "It's already like this, I can't be confused with him." ”

"Good!" Lin Yao asked the next question, "What if you bring his girlfriend to live in?" ”

Jian Wen looked at her in a daze, as if she was considering this possibility.

"What are you talking about?" Li Renhai pushed the door in, and said dissatisfiedly: "We didn't wait for me to come to discuss it." ”

Jian Wen slowly looked away, "It's nothing." ”

What Jian Wen didn't mention, Lin Yao didn't want to mention, she changed her words, "Li Renhai, what about your parents?" ”

Li Renhai waved his hand, "Hey, they've all finished eating, how can I call it?" Leave them alone, let's hurry up and eat, or the food will be cold. ”

In fact, it is already cold.

Lin Yao no longer hesitated, and said to Jian Wen: "Let's eat first, there is nothing in this world that can't be solved by eating a big meal." ”

Li Renhai echoed: "If one meal doesn't work, I'll invite two!" ”

Lin Yao laughed loudly.

Jian Wen said: "Li Renhai, I'm telling you seriously, this place is not suitable for opening a teahouse.

Before I came, I made a special inquiry, in Hangzhou, the per capita consumption of customers to the teahouse is generally 80 to 90 yuan, in addition to the cost of labor, tea, and other expenses, and then cut out taxes, in fact, there is not much profit.

If there are not many customers, it will often result in no money and a loss of hundreds of thousands a year!

Some things should be interrupted and constantly suffer from chaos, so it is better to stop losses in time. ”

Li Renhai's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Lin Yao as if asking for help.

Lin Yao looked at Jian Wen thoughtfully.

From Jian Wen's words, she could tell that Jian Wen should have made up her mind to give up Cheng Yang, which made Lin Yao feel a little comforted and extremely distressed at the same time.

A girl like Jian Wen is dedicated to her work and is very focused on her feelings.

Although she once said some deafening words in the name of the love brick family.

"How do you know what's good for you and what's bad for you without comparison? And how do you know which is true and which is false? ”

"I advise you, at the beginning of a relationship, never just date one man, find more than several. Because only then will it be possible for you to take the initiative into your own hands. ”

……

In fact, since she was only with Cheng Yang, she hadn't looked at other men with her eyes, not even a warm look.

Jian Wen didn't want to mention Cheng Yang's breakup in front of Li Renhai, so it was inconvenient for Lin Yao to mention it, so she said: "What Mr. Jian said may not be right, but what she said still makes some sense."

If you are sure that you want to open a teahouse, then do your best and keep this teahouse in good shape. ”

Li Renhai didn't want to continue this topic, but Lin Yao kept glancing at him, so he said: "Okay, then I will pay attention to opening up sources and reducing expenditure, and strive to make Wangjianglou into a thousand-year-old brand like Wanghulou as soon as possible." ”

Jian Wen burst out laughing.

Lin Yao also gave him a thumbs up, "Ambitious." ”

***

When Lin Yao said goodbye to Li Renhai's family, it was about eight o'clock in the evening, and the night was thick.

Li Renhai originally planned to take them for a walk after dinner, but Lin Yao and Jian Wen didn't want to stay in a place like Nitang Village at night, let alone take a walk.

After saying goodbye to their family, they set out on the return journey.

At night, the village is as lively as it is rumored, like a large open-air barbecue area, and even through the car window, you can smell the smell of chili cumin and the smoke wafting outside.

Two white cars drove away from Nitang Village one after another, slowly driving into the boundless night.
