Eleven p.m., Kyoto, downstairs of the Blue Whale Building, by Lake Agate.

The lights of the building were halfway out, and the reflection was in the middle of the lake.

By this time, the overtime staff were almost gone.

At the entrance of the shop is made of glass on the side, and a small round wooden table is placed.

On the table is a plate of cold preserved eggs and a plate of peanuts.

Sitting across from the two men, a slender girl was busy on a simple stove built on the side of the doorway.

There are many high-rise buildings on all sides, and sitting by the Agate Lake to drink quietly is also a great pleasure in life.

Xia Qixue's stir-fry action is very skillful, and it doesn't take much effort to bring up a plate of hot green pepper stir-fried meat.

She handed the two men the freshly washed dishes and chopsticks, and then placed two more glasses in front of them.

He pointed to the cup, then to the beer bottle in the hands of the two, and then waved his hand slightly.

Jiang Yang understood, what this girl meant was to let them drink from a cup, not to blow with a bottle.

Bai Chengen nodded, picked up the beer bottle and poured it into the cup, and said with emotion: "It turns out that there is a woman by your side, which is more moisturizing than the rough old men getting together." ”

"At the very least, I don't have to eat instant noodles with you."

Bai Chengen picked up the cup: "Yes, brother." ”

Jiang Yang said: "I can't stop you from eating such a good meal, besides, is there a shortage of women around me?" When did you go to the house, didn't your brother and sister cook for you? ”

Bai Chengen smiled: "Home is home, outside is outside." For example, today, if it weren't for people praying for snow, we would probably still be hungry now, even if we went to the restaurant, I'm afraid this point hasn't been eaten in our mouths. ”

"That's the key......"

"Unhygienic."

Bai Chengen squeezed his eyes at Jiang Yang and drank the beer in the cup into his stomach.

Jiang Yang touched his chin and looked at Bai Chengen seriously: "Comrade Bai Chengen, there is something in your words?" ”

Bai Chengen smiled: "No." ”

"Eat vegetables."

Bai Chengen picked up the chopsticks: "Just be at your own home, you're welcome." ”

After that, pick up the fried shredded meat and stuff it into your mouth.

While stuffing, he exclaimed: "Hmm! ”

Bai Chengen's eyes widened.

"Uh-huh!"

"It tastes good."

Bai Chengen gave a thumbs up: "The neat farm dishes, the craftsmanship of this girl who prays for snow, I really don't say anything." ”

For Bai Chengen's praise, Xia Qixue smiled shyly.

Jiang Yang squinted his eyes: "Good guy, eating a stir-fried meat with green peppers is out of the realm." ”

Bai Chengen covered his mouth: "It's my mother's taste......"

Jiang Yang turned his head to look at Xia Qixue: "Qixue, do you hear me, Lao Bai called your mother." ”

Regarding the seriousness of the two, Xia Qixue had seen them more than once, shook her head with a smile and ignored them, and continued to stir-fry.

Bai Chengen said: "You are otter, 'mother's taste' is a recent popular word, from an advertisement for quick-frozen dumplings." People describe this dumpling as delicious, just like the one made by my mother. So I'm praising Qixue's good craftsmanship, not recognizing her as a mother. ”

"Yes."

Jiang Yang took a sip of beer: "After recognizing my mother, you can come to eat openly in the future." ”

After that, he also took a bite of food and stuffed it into his mouth.

Two seconds later, Jiang Yang covered his mouth: "Mom's taste ......"

There was laughter and laughter at the door of the shop, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Since Xia Qixue came here, she has gotten along well with everyone.

No one bullied her, and no one looked down on her and discriminated against her.

Everything was different from what she had imagined.

To this day, she doesn't know what Jiang Yang's identity is and what Bai Chengen's identity is.

She could only see that all the people called them "Mr. Jiang" and "Mr. Bai".

For this "total" and that "total", for these levels in the company, Xia Qixue has no concept in her mind.

She only knows that those who can be called "general" must be big leaders and have rights.

Everyone in this building respects "Mr. Jiang" and "Mr. Bai".

But these two bosses are very strange, and they will often come to her to sit down.

Either sit and drink tea, sit and read the newspaper, and even lie down in the rocking chair in front of the shop at noon for a nap.

Xia Qixue carefully observed that when these two "CEOs" were there, business was much better than usual, and no matter what age group people came here to buy things, they were much more "regular" and polite than usual.

When she first arrived at the shop, there would be young men who would tease her, and some people would make irresponsible comments.

Since these two "CEOs" have this habit, all those bad phenomena have disappeared.

At first, knowing that these two "bosses" were not simple, Xia Qixue was a little afraid of them in her heart.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is an indescribable fear of power.

But whether it is Jiang Yang or Bai Chengen, it seems that every time they appear, they seem to be very "familiar" with her, and their skin is very thick.

They take whatever they want to eat, pour what they want to drink, and even unceremoniously let Xia Qixue do this and that.

Of course, in the end they will all give money.

The money is just right, no more, no less, but it will always take a small advantage.

This "cheap" does not refer to the "cheap" in that regard, it is all trivial things.

A lollipop, or a tea egg.

They will always use various ways to get closer to each other invisibly.

It seems that these two "CEOs" don't have any shelves, as if they are two "Laipi" brothers who grew up with her.

They will make all kinds of jokes, hurt each other, scold each other, and are full of ugliness in front of Xia Qixue.

But when two people appear alone, it looks so "serious".

After a long time, Xia Qixue has become numb.

But since then, I have no fear of these two "bosses", and sometimes I will even blend in with them, joking and so on.

This way of getting along made Xia Qixue feel that she was no different from ordinary people for the first time, made her feel that she was not "inferior" for the first time, and made her forget her flaws, forget that she couldn't speak, and forget her bad childhood and past.

Blue Whale Mansion, by Agate Lake.

If she could, Xia Qixue would be willing to stay here for the rest of her life.

She looked at the lake, looked at the other side of the lake, and thought to herself.

The night by the lake is beautiful, and the willow branches are rattling in the breeze.

Jiang Yang and Bai Chengen sat there drinking beer and whispering something, the "bad taste" on their faces disappeared, and they returned to their serious state.

Xia Qixue knew that they were going to talk about business.

So I put the last two dishes on the table and went back to the shop to clean up.

"Brother, you say...... Huazhou Bank, will it really go bankrupt? ”

Bai Chengen lit a cigarette, looked at Jiang Yang and asked.
