Chapter 217: Trust
"It's right here!" Walking dozens of meters along the noisy street, Bai Jie pointed to a restaurant on the side of the street that was quite well decorated. The floor-to-ceiling windows are covered with carved window paper, and the dining room is covered with wooden tables and chairs. On each table is a candlestick with three candles. Not for Lang Man, but because there is no electricity. There are not many guests in the restaurant, plus Cheng Sen and Bai Jie, there are only 4 people in total.
In these days, ordinary people will not come out to eat, because the things here are really not cheap. A very modest meal here is enough to cover 5-6 days of daily life. And those wealthy families will not come to this kind of place to eat at night. Because if you don't keep it all halfway through, you will be killed by those who hate the rich. So how do they solve the problem of nightlife? It's easy to do, just in your own home. Invite three or five embarrassed people who are familiar with you, and then find some peripheral girls to have a good time, and the night passed like this.
"Order, I'm so hungry!" Bai Jie led Cheng Sen to a table next to the window and sat down, picked up the handwritten menu on the table and handed it to him. The words on the menu are written with a brush. It's not that the owner of the restaurant shows off the culture, but he is afraid that the light will be too dark at night, and the guests will not be able to see what is written on the menu.
"Mayor White? Is it really you? Cheng Sen opened the menu in his hand, and felt the candle flame on the table flickering. A round fat man rushed over quickly, wiped the oil and sweat on his forehead, and said flatteringly.
"Kang Youwei? Why are you here? Cheng Sen used the candle flame to see the faces of the people who came.
"Look, this shop is a small one. Master Sen, are you back to Gangneung? Kang Youwei cleaned up the bits and pieces on the table, and spoke to Cheng Sen very respectfully. It was the first time he had seen a man who could eat alone with Bai Jie.
"Come here to do something, your surname is Kang, what does it have to do with the Kang family?" Cheng Sen casually flipped through the menu in his hand and asked Kang Youwei casually.
"This, except that the surname is the same, the small one really has nothing to do with them. Besides, if I really want to have a relationship with them, am I going to open a shop here and live together?! Senye, don't look at this menu. Today's dinner between you and Mayor Bai, will I arrange it for you? Kang Youwei pulled the somewhat tight clothes on his body, and asked Cheng Sen and Bai Jie about their meanings.
"It's okay, Fat Kang's craftsmanship still has nothing to say. Then you go ahead and arrange it, just don't make it too complicated for the two of you. Bai Jie played with the bush of wildflowers in his hand and whispered to Kang Youwei.
"It turns out that he is the boss here, last time I thought he was the cook in your house!" After Kang Youwei went to the kitchen to handle the dinner of the two, Cheng Sen chuckled there.
"He is not only the owner of this restaurant, but he has helped me find out a lot of news about the border of Gangneung. Now you understand, why can a restaurant owner be so close to me, right? Bai Jie thought that Cheng Sen was jealous of her, and hurriedly explained there.
"I see, I can't see it." Cheng Sen understood that Kang Youwei was actually a spy under the guise of a restaurant owner. He felt that he would wait for his power to grow in the future. Should we also learn from Bai Jie, and plant a place in the market, or even a few secret agents who specialize in inquiring about news from all walks of life. After all, Cheng Sen can't do everything about many things. Being able to grasp the latest news at the first time is quite advantageous for the superiors.
"No matter how strong I am, I'm a woman after all. How many of you men are willing to crouch under a woman? If it weren't for Kang Fatzi to find out the news for me, I'm afraid there would be no Jiangling and Baijie now. Bai Jie held the flowers in her hand and said slowly. These words, usually she buried in her heart and would not say them to anyone. Even her sister Bai Su and her best friend Chu Yu didn't know that this cook, who often came and went in and out of the office building, was actually a spy planted by Bai Jie. They all thought that Bai Jie just liked the food made by this fat man.
"In the prosperous era, it is even more difficult for a woman to make a career, let alone in today's troubled times? Times are different, men and women are the same. I think this sentence should be said, the times are different, and men and women are the same. It's okay for you to do that, but if it were me, I would do the same. After all, there are not a few people who pick up chopsticks to eat meat and put down chopsticks to scold their mothers. I don't want you to cheat people, but I don't want you to be cheated against. Cheng Sen took the bush of wildflowers in Bai Jie's hand, reached out and picked off the dead leaves on it, and said sincerely to the woman in front of him.
"What about you? Are you really unwilling to stay in Gangneung to help me? Or have you now found a better place than Gangneung? Don't say anything about an abandoned military base, I'm not a three-year-old, so easily fooled by you! At the end of the day, you still don't trust me. Hey~" Bai Jie suddenly stretched out his hand, gently covering the back of Cheng Sen's hand, and said there with a grinning voice.
"It's not that I don't tell you, but I have my own troubles. Well, when this time is over, I'll take you over for a while. After all, Cheng Sen couldn't continue to hide Bai Jie, pondered for a moment, and made a promise to her. Instead of continuing to hide it, it is better to show it to Bai Jie frankly.
"Sure enough, you've found a good place. Hmph, if I don't force you today, you still won't tell me. I'm white, don't I have any place in your heart? Just so untrustworthy? I've told you even the deepest hidden information in my hand. It seems that men and women treat their feelings differently after all! Bai Jie glanced at Cheng Sen fiercely, and twisted his hand on the back of his hand.
"When you go and see it, you will understand that there are many things that I don't tell you, but I don't know what to say to you. It doesn't have much to do with trust, and if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be talking to you so much today. Cheng Sen looked at Bai Jie's resentful eyes, and said to her helplessly. Originally, along the way, he had been thinking about whether to tell Bai Jie about the matter of the base.
From the time she found a new home, Cheng Sen felt that Bai Jie was not a mercenary woman. She also has her own kindness and bottom line. After Bai Jie took the initiative to reveal Kang Youwei's intelligence point to himself, Cheng Sen decided to tell her about the base. If people want to communicate with each other, there are some things that cannot be hidden. Cheng Sen didn't want to spend all day in suspicion and vigilance, what he wanted was friends who could treat each other sincerely.
