Chapter Eighty-Five: Supper
"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?"
"Li Yun and I went to Uncle Dong's house on the weekend, do you think it is necessary for me to give him a detailed report on my recent work?"
"Just talk about it, don't make it too formal, make it the same as a report. Although we are not in the company, we have heard about your movements to some extent. It's all a family, don't be so angry. ”
"Okay, then I know what to do. Let's go. Zhao Wu smiled bitterly and followed Zhao Yanqing back to the private room.
"Why did you two go? After going out for so long, the cake is on the table, and I'm waiting for you. Mother Zhao asked.
As Zhao Yanqing thought in advance, the moment he pushed the door, he saw a musical candle on the cake, waiting for the arrival of the two.
"Go out and smoke a cigarette. This Huihui is here, and we can't smoke it. Zhao Yanqing replied casually.
"Two big smokers. Cigarettes are drugs, so smoke them. ”
"Oh Mom... You've said that smoking is a drug, and it's so easy to quit. Hurry up and make a wish with a candle. ”
Zhao Wu stepped forward to support Zhao's mother and took the lighter from her hand.
"Come on, sister, let's make a wish."
Then Zhao Wu pointed the lighter at the candle, and as the candle burned, the merry-go-round on the cake also played a beautiful birthday melody. And Zhao Hui crossed her hands into fists, put them under her chin, closed her eyes slightly, and quietly made her wish in her heart. I don't know where this form came from, anyway, since we were children, whenever it is a birthday, there will be cakes and candles, and the same wishes.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...."
Accompanied by the candlelight of the birthday, it is like lighting ten thousand torches. Zhao Hui made a wish, and everyone around her accompanied the melody of happy birthday....
After three rounds of wine, five flavors, and a birthday, it is also considered a success. It was close to 12 p.m. Zhao Yanqing looked at Audemars Piguet on his wrist, and proposed that the time was not early, and it would end as soon as possible, so that Zhao Hui could go back to rest early and recuperate. Everyone nodded in agreement, got up and walked out, and when it was time to settle the bill, Zhao Wu and Zhao Hui's husband competed, and in the end, Zhao Wu insisted on his opinion and paid for the meal. Everyone gathered at the door of the hotel, and after some greetings, they all left.
"Find a substitute driver, you go back first. I'll take a look at the company. Zhao Wu blushed and said drunkenly.
"What time is it, why are you going back to the company?" Li Yun asked puzzled.
"Oh. Li Jing calculated the accounts of the coal company. I'll work overtime, get it out quickly, and hold a meeting with everyone after sorting it out to discuss how to carry out the next work. You can go back first, I guess it's going to take the whole night. ”
"You're all drunk here, can you still work? Tomorrow, let's go back and get some rest today. Recharge your batteries. ”
"It's okay, this little bit of wine is going anywhere. You don't know how much I drink? I can drink the three of you with a half-pulled mouth tablet. ”
"Cut, brag that you're really got a set."
"Alright, it's cold. Find a substitute driver and go back to rest. See you tomorrow at the company. ”
"Alright then, you take care of yourself. Don't fight so hard, just rest for a while when you're tired. ”
"Okay, don't worry. Hurry back, don't turn any other way on the way. ”
"Got it, it's so late, where can I turn. Still worried about me? ”
"Of course, such a fairy-looking wife, who can rest assured."
"Go up there, you don't even bother to look at me now. I'd rather go back to the company to work overtime than go home and make love to me. If the man's nonsense can be believed, the sun will really come out in the west. ”
"What's going on. It's not that the alcohol is too much today, and it's not suitable for that. Otherwise, I can't let you go today. ”
"I'm too lazy to talk to you, and I'm leaving. Give me the car keys. ”
"Yes, yes, car keys. It's called a substitute driver, you are not allowed to drive by yourself, safety first. ”
"Okay, got it. Hurry up. Call me if you need help. After speaking, Li Yun made a lip mark on Zhao Wu's face.
"yes, okay." After speaking, Zhao Wu smiled sweetly at Li Yun and walked straight to the taxi outside the hotel.
"Trouble to Zhendong Building."
Hearing Zhao Wu's destination, the taxi master stepped on the accelerator and stepped out, and the car was like a wild horse on the loose, driving forward quickly, and disappeared from sight after a while.
"Master, please take a trip to Xintong Bridge, you know where Datang morning and evening tea is, right?"
Zhao Wu didn't know what to think, and suddenly changed his destination.
"How far does that have to go, you will get off the bridge here and you will reach Zhendong Group."
"It's okay, go to Datang, the fare won't be less for you."
"Okay, I said I would have gone there, and I wouldn't have gotten off the bridge."
Zhao Wu glanced at the taxi driver and didn't say anything, knowing that arguing with this kind of person would not result in anything. Sitting in the back seat, he leaned his head against the glass and quietly admired this bustling and beautiful city. At this time, the silent night is less noisy than the day, more quiet and serene, even the sky seems extremely deep at this time, and the street lamps scattered on the ground seem to be sleepy. The noisy city slowly quieted down, and the lights of all kinds of shining lights were extinguished one after another, only the rows of street lamps and the small bulbs on the roofs of the tall buildings twinkled like stars, like a pair of eyes peeping into the earth, and under the buildings, rows of black trees* stood solemnly, like sentinels holding their posts. A thin moon bud hung coldly above the tall building. I don't know how long he pondered, but the words of the taxi driver interrupted his thoughts.
"Arrived, 41 in total. Don't *give 40 to it. ”
"Please stop and wait for me for a while, I'll go buy some food and come back." After speaking, Zhao Wu took out a hundred-yuan bill from his bag and handed it to the driver.
"Okay, how long do you estimate? I can't wait for a long time. I'll take advantage of this time to do some work at night. ”
"Your watch jumps less than 100, I'm sure it's down." Zhao Wula drove the door and walked out.
The driver, who was left behind, snorted coldly, looked at the money, made sure it was true, and hurriedly put it in his pocket, for fear that Zhao Wu would come back and ask for the money back, get out of the car and leave.
Zhao Wu came to the store, ordered a shrimp dumpling at the bar, and asked for a few durian crisps and a bowl of red dates and yam porridge.
"Hello sir, a total of 92 yuan, are all these packed?"
"Yes, all packed."
"Okay, please wait. The order has been placed for you, and it will take about ten minutes. ”
After Zhao Wu nodded and agreed, he asked for another turtle jelly, and sat on the chair at the dining table while eating and waiting. After a while, the waiter packed the dishes he ordered.
"Let's go, master, Zhendong Mansion." Zhao Wu returned to the car and said to the taxi master.
The city traffic at night is the smoothest time of the day, and the roads are wide and there are hardly a few cars in sight. The taxi sped forward, and outside the window, the trees on both sides of the road fluttered past me like the wind. The trees that were already looming on both sides of the road now seemed even more faint. It didn't take much effort for the taxi to stop at the entrance of Zhendong Building. Zhao Wu looked up, arrived at the destination, picked up the packed supper and bag, opened the car door, and stepped to get out of the car.
"I haven't asked you for any money yet? Don't want it? ”
"Thanks, don't look for it." After Zhao Wu finished speaking, he strode forward.
"Blah blah blah bla That's $28 to find you. The fare is 72 in total. One yard to one yard, how much to pull, how much I charge. This is the rule. The driver then opened the door and shouted as he ran towards Zhao Wu.
"Okay, thanks."
Zhao Wu smiled helplessly at the driver's master, and reached out to take the recovered change. I didn't count it, and I put it in my coat pocket.
