Chapter 51: The Temptation of Good Food
After confirming it, I didn't care that it was late at night, so I took out my mobile phone and sent it to Mu Xichun.
I thought she must have rested, but I didn't expect her to reply to the message just after sending it.
"It's a good name, it's apt and deep!"
"Haven't rested yet?" I was a little surprised and sent her another message.
"Sleep, get up and drink just enough to see your message."
"Go to bed early, it's late."
After this message was sent, I waited for a while, but Mu Xichun didn't reply to the message. Somehow I was a little disappointed, and I was surprised, was it just that she smiled at me and made me fascinated by her?
I immediately dismissed the idea, how could I be confused by her, she was my enemy, and I was in this mess because of her.
Thinking of this, my heart finally calmed down again, and I suddenly felt sleepy while lying on the bed.
Due to the renovation project of Lakeside Park, our company's plan was finally approved by the municipal department, and finally signed a project contract with our company, and the leaders of both parties participated in the groundbreaking ceremony of the project on Friday.
When the ceremony was over, I stepped on the fireworks leaves all over the ground and couldn't help but think of Li Weinan, if I had taken his money and gave him the project drawings and planning books, what would it be like today?
Could it be that the people from their company are standing here, giving a speech proudly?
I can't help but feel that people seem small compared to the world, but sometimes a thought can change the direction of the world, and the so-called impermanence of the world may be exactly this truth.
"What do you think?" Really when I was pondering, Mu Xichun didn't know when to walk up to me.
"Nothing!"
"Do you think that we can get this project under the eyes of strong opponents, and you think it will be too smooth?" Mu Xichun looked around at the park that was about to start construction, and said with emotion.
"That's not it, with our strength, if we are bound to win, who has the ability to snatch it from us!"
"Humph!" Mu Xichun said disapprerovantly: "You don't know, Shengda has made us stumble behind our backs in order to compete with us!" ”
I was shocked, thinking that she could be that she knew about me and Li Weinan!
"What did they do?" My heart was beating faster.
"Of course, it is engaged in corruption and bribery, and even broke the black material of our company, and even took out the old things from ten years ago to make a fuss! However, it is a pity that this period is just in time for the country's political reform and the crackdown on corruption. Otherwise, they have a good chance of succeeding. ”
Mu Xichun said with some disdain.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to myself, you don't know that they also engaged in plotting against enemy insiders, and almost succeeded. Thinking about it this way, it is really not as easy as it seems.
"In a while, on behalf of me, you will go to dinner with Mr. Zhang to accompany the other party's representative, or Jiangxin Island Hotel." Mu Xichun looked at a few other party leaders not far away and said.
"Why don't you go?"
"I've got something to do!"
"If you want to go, I won't go! Can I represent you? Are you kidding? "I really don't like this kind of dinner, and I am disgusted to go to it, and I think this is probably the reason why she doesn't want to go.
Mu Xichun stared at me for a few seconds, and suddenly burst out laughing, probably guessing my thoughts. I didn't expect her and I to be so heart-to-heart in this matter, and I couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, you wait for me." Mu Xichun didn't force me anymore, went to say a few words to the leaders and shook hands before coming back, probably to find a reason to push off the lunch meal.
After Mu Xichun came back, he made a gesture to me and said, "Send me back to the company!" ”
At this time, it was almost noon, and my stomach was already grumbling with hunger after a busy morning, so I said to Mu Xichun, who was sitting in the co-pilot: "I'm hungry, do you want to eat something and go back to the company?" "I'm used to talking to her directly, and I never add a prefix to "Mr. Mu" before speaking, and she seems to be used to it after a long time.
Mu Xichun looked at his watch and said, "What do you want to eat?" I invite you! Mu Xichun's mood seems to be quite good.
"Okay!" I couldn't help but get excited to hear her say this, it seems that there is another free meal.
Who knows that it is not fulfilled, it happens to be a meal at the moment, because there is no reservation to find a few are full, and even the more ordinary specialty restaurants are hard to find.
When I found a fourth one and was told it was still full, I finally gave up. It seems that sometimes it's not easy to be rich, and when you have money, you find that there are not too many rich people in this world, and this time I'm still a pseudo-rich person.
However, the hunger in my stomach is becoming more and more real. The problem still has to be solved, it seems that the big meal is hopeless and can only settle for the second, as long as you can fill your stomach at the moment, it doesn't matter what it is.
Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered a place to go, and I forgot about this good place just now when I wanted to have a big meal, and then I remembered it when the big meal was hopeless.
"You don't need to invite this meal, I'll invite you!" I said to Mu Xichun, who was absent-minded on the side. She looked almost hungry too.
"What to eat?" Mu Xichun asked suspiciously.
"You'll know when you go, and I promise you won't be disappointed!" After saying that, he kicked the accelerator and drove to the west of the city.
There is a pork offal soup shop in the west of the city, Li Liang and I accidentally discovered it once, the shop is in an inconspicuous alley in the west of the city, the shop is run by an elderly couple, although the shop is small but the taste is very authentic.
This is the consensus between me and Li Liang, since we ate once, we have become frequent visitors here, and whenever we have time, we go to fight tooth sacrifices. But I haven't been here since I worked at the bar, and I didn't think it would remind me of today.
When the car drove to the west of the city, Mu Xichun finally couldn't help but be curious, and asked me again, but I just smiled and didn't answer. If you let her know at this moment that I am going to take me to a small shop to eat pork offal soup, it is better to take her directly to taste it and let the food conquer her.
When I parked the car in front of this shop called Fu Ji Pork Offal Soup, as I expected, Mu Xichun was simply stunned.
"You said you invited me to dinner to eat this?" Mu Xichun's mouth opened wide.
After receiving an affirmative answer, she turned around and was about to get into the car. I hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Don't leave yet, if you don't think it's delicious after you've eaten, I'll accompany you before it's too late!" ”
Mu Xichun ignored me and wanted to get in the car and leave, so I hurriedly dragged her into the store. While pulling, he explained to her: "You can try it when you come here, if it's not delicious, I'll just accompany you, okay?" ”
Mu Xichun shook off my hand, her expression was displeased and seemed to want to attack, but at this moment, I had already pulled her in, and several customers who were eating in the store looked up at me in unison. Mu Xichun saw this scene, Mu Xichun glanced at me angrily, but he still couldn't hold back and didn't have a seizure.
At this time, the shopkeeper came over enthusiastically and said, "It's Xiao Wei who is here, but I haven't been here for some days." Why didn't Xiao Li come today, but a big beauty! It's your ......."
I hurriedly interrupted the overly enthusiastic and joking proprietress and said, "Aunt Li, Xiao Li has something to do, so he didn't come today." This is my boss, boss, hehe! Two portions of pork offal soup and one more part of the intestines, hurry up, hurry up, I'm dying of hunger. I said with a smirk
"Okay!" The hostess winked at me and said yes and went to the kitchen.
Mu Xichun and I found a table and sat down, she frowned and looked extremely reluctant, but she didn't embarrass me in public.
"Just wait, I said I wouldn't let you down!" I comforted.
"Dao'er is quite familiar, you and Manager Li often come here?" Mu Xichun said while wiping the tissue on the table in front of him. Probably she had never eaten in such a place, which made her very unaccustomed.
"Yes, that's why I brought you all the way here to eat, if it weren't for the extraordinary, how could I be so bold to bring you here!"
"This ...... Can such a place meet the standards of hygiene? Mu Xichun looked around and said with doubts.
"Don't worry, although this is a small shop, but it is definitely not a black store, you look at the wall hanging, all kinds of documents are not complete. I tell you, don't believe it, there are a lot of big bosses who come here to eat. Did you see the Maybach you walked away by, people are here to eat. ”
In order to dispel her doubts, I said it with mixed truths, almost half-coaxing, half-deception.
Mu Xichun Jing pointed and looked at the documents on the wall, and his brows stretched slightly, it seems that my guidance has played a role.
After a while, the proprietress came out with two large bowls of pork offal soup and two portions of rice, and said with a smile: "Two slow use!" Then he went to greet the other guests.
Mu Xichun picked up the chopsticks and wiped them with a paper towel, then lowered his head and carefully put a piece of pork liver in the bowl and chewed it slowly in his mouth.
I watched the whole process until she took the first bite and then picked up another piece and put it in her mouth that I was relieved.
If she really can't put it down, doesn't eat it, or doesn't suit her taste, maybe she'll do something to me.
In this way, she is not the kind of person with a strong sense of vanity and aristocratic baggage, which makes me recognize her again.
Because I was too hungry and hadn't eaten this taste for too long, I ate a huge bowl of pork offal soup and a bowl of rice in an instant, and I was still unsatisfied, but my stomach was already a little stretched, and I couldn't hold any extra food.
Eating in this kind of place is suddenly refreshing, and you never have to stick to any etiquette, let alone care what others think of you.
After eating, I looked at Mu Xichun, she was probably hungry too, and she ate almost half of the bowl of pork offal soup. It's just that a beauty is a beauty after all, even in this kind of non-high-grade place, she still has an elegant posture, chewing and swallowing slowly.
When she just put a piece of pig intestine into her mouth, she inadvertently looked up and found that I was admiring her eating, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she looked left and right as if she was a thief, and lowered her head, embarrassed.
"How! I kid you not, isn't it delicious? "I almost didn't laugh when I saw her like this.
Mu Xichun looked at me with disgust and didn't speak. He took out a tissue from his bag, wiped his mouth, and said, "After eating, can I go?" ”
"Don't, you haven't finished eating yet, don't waste it!" I said as I looked at the half of the food left in her bowl.
"I'm full!" Mu Xichun got up and walked out, not knowing if she was really full or embarrassed to continue eating under my gaze. Seeing her like this, I had to get up and prepare to pay, but unfortunately there was still half of the pork offal soup left in the bowl.
