Ai Xiang walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, thinking about his thoughts as he walked.

Li Yulian waited until the afternoon, and finally waited for the great monk in charge. After saying that the temple provided spices, he was about to go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to find Ai Xiang and go down the mountain with him, but he saw him outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall in a daze, as if he had fallen into a state of self-forgetfulness.

She smiled and asked, "What's the matter, who fascinated you?" I didn't find any eye-catching beauties among the visitors to the temple, so I didn't want to become a monk here, right? In that case, you won't be able to enjoy the delicious taste of roast pheasant anymore. ”

Ai Xiang came back to his senses, looked at the mountain girl in front of him who became lively and lovely after becoming familiar, and said with a smile: "I won't consider becoming a monk for the time being, I am a layman, my fate has not changed, and my heart has not changed." Beauty, I still found out that there is one. ”

Li Yulian glanced back at the tourists in the temple who were sincerely burning incense and worshiping Buddha: "Really? Why didn't I find out, where is it? ”

Ai Xiang teased: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and Li Yulian said after walking out of the Banshan Temple with Ai Xiang: "For you to add a beautiful title to this girl, I will invite you to eat a new roast pheasant after going down the mountain." What do you think? ”

"New roast pheasant?" Ai Xiang didn't understand what Li Yulian meant, Li Yulian nodded and explained: "That's right, it's a new roasted pheasant, not the bamboo charcoal fire you have eaten." It is baked using a special electric oven using a new process. Today, I am ready to officially try the roast, and then launch it to the market after the process is mature, and you can try it for free. ”

Ai Xiang smiled: "Dare you treat me as a taster, in that case, it is not enough to be free, and you must pay a salary to be reasonable." ”

Li Yulian explained: "In fact, I have tried roasting hundreds of times before, and I have improved the process again and again, and now the flavor is close to hand-roasting with charcoal fire." The advantages of using electric oven roasting are obvious, so that you can mass-produce roast pheasant, and after completing the requirements of this step, you can open a chain store after the conditions are met. ”

Ai Xiang looked at the young mountain girl in front of him with emotion: "You are really amazing, you are indeed a talent who does business, a talent who does big business." Flexible, organized, methodical and planned, I wish you to become a rich woman as soon as possible. ”

Li Yulian almost gasped with a smile: "It's the first time I've heard of this kind of rich woman's little sister." Ai Xiang, you're so funny, haha. ”

Ai Xiang was alone in his office, thinking about his thoughts, and he was still immersed in that special trip to the mountains a few months ago, reminiscing about the experiences of the Banshan Temple.

Thinking of the middle-aged monk with a strange expression on his face that he saw at the mountain gate, thinking of the old monk in the Daxiong Treasure Hall with his eyes closed but insightful about the world, and thinking of Li Yulian, who was full of entrepreneurial plans in his heart, he unconsciously went out of his mind again, and blurted out an inexplicable sentence: "It's so interesting." ”

Yu Mei came out of the laboratory, saw Ai Xiang in a daze in the office shared by several people, looked at him talking to himself, and couldn't help asking, "What makes you think it's so interesting?" ”

Ai Xiang came back to his senses at this time, and said with a somewhat restrained smile: "I was distracted just now, as if I was daydreaming, so I want to laugh, I'm really embarrassed." Is there something wrong with the teacher? ”

Yu Mei put the stack of experimental materials in his hand on his desk and said, "Ai Xiang, I still have a paper to rush, you can help me process these data, and give it to me in the afternoon after sorting it out." ”

She thought about it and looked at Ai Xiang and said, "Have you been in a bad mental state recently, and you are often stunned, are you tired?" Or is it something else? You have to pay proper attention to it yourself and adjust your condition. These data are not very urgent, if you can sort it out today, you can give it to me, and you can give it to me tomorrow. ”

Ai Xiang looked at Yu Mei standing in front of him, thinking that he was always distracted and difficult to concentrate recently, so he said apologetically: "Recently, I have been thinking about some irrelevant things and delaying work, I'm sorry teacher." ”

Yu Mei said gently: "If you have anything on your mind, find time to talk to me, don't always be bored in your heart." ”

After Yu Mei returned from the academic seminar, she found that Ai Xiang was becoming more and more preoccupied, and there was hardly any more topics to talk about with his colleagues except for work exchanges. always likes to stay quietly, and the quietness makes Yu Mei feel uneasy.

Ai Xiang had never been so quiet before, and he used to have quiet times, but it was quietly doing things. Now he often sits there quietly and is stunned, his eyes seem to be obscured by a thick fog, there is no clarity of the past, only a blank and confused. She waited for him, for him to tell her something, only to find that he seemed to have forgotten that she was a teacher.

Yu Mei knew that her student would adjust his mentality, because in the process of his growth, he had always relied on self-struggle. When he encounters anything, he will not be discouraged, nor will he give up on himself. But this time it seemed to be a little special, and she was a little relieved. It's been more than three months since he came back from Banshan Temple, what people and things did he encounter that he couldn't let go?

Looking at the back of Yu Mei walking out, Ai Xiang was a little stunned, and it wasn't until several other colleagues walked into the office that he came back to his senses and tried to concentrate on sorting out the experimental data and materials that Yu Mei had brought over. When he lowered his head to work, he seemed to forget everything again, and the phone rang several times, and he ignored it.

When the phone rang again, Ai Xiang raised his head blankly, looked at his colleagues around him as if he was a little puzzled, and asked, "Whose phone is it?" Ringing all the time? ”

Xiao Wang behind him glanced at him, snickered and deliberately asked, "Hey, whose phone number are you?" Several colleagues in the office burst into laughter. Ai Xiang was stunned again, only to realize that his phone kept ringing.

Ai Xiang also smiled: "I'm really sorry, I'm distracted again." ”

Xiao Wang looked at Ai Xiang happily and teased: "Ai Xiang, do you have a love interest?" Which girl did you fall in love with? Based on my experience and intuition, only lovers in love will be so distracted, they will be absent-minded in everything, they can only fit that girl in their hearts, and they can't fit anything else, there's no place, isn't it? ”

Ai Xiang picked up the mobile phone placed on the table, got up and walked out of the office, and turned back with a serious pretence: "Amitabha, color is emptiness, emptiness is color." Donor, you're fascinated by yourself, and you can't pretend to be anything else. Several people in the office burst into laughter again.

Ai Xiang walked into the aisle and answered the phone: "Which one?" ”

"I, rich little sister, don't you remember? Forgot so quickly? Li Yulian's crisp laughter came from the phone. Ai Xiang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect it to be Li Yulian's phone: "It turned out to be you, well, rich little sister, haha, is there something wrong?" Rich little sister. ”

Li Yulian also smiled: "Can't you make a phone call if it's okay?" We're friends too, so we forgot about it so quickly? ”

Ai Xiang teased: "I haven't forgotten, such a good delicacy must not be forgotten." ”

Li Yulian pretended to be angry and said: "It seems that you are really an authentic foodie, you can only remember the delicious, but you can't remember the beauty." ”

Ai Xiang smiled happily and said, "Only delicious food, I can remember." ”

"Well, it's a great joy to have a foodie friend. There's no restaurant owner who doesn't like foodies. Are you available now? I invite you to eat the roast pheasant set for free. Li Yulian said happily.

Ai Xiang smiled in surprise and asked, "Even if I am a foodie, I can't take a car for most of the day and go to the mountains to eat a barbecue, right?" Is there something else going on with my little sister? Oh, by the way, you seem to say that you want to open a chain store, and when you open the store in the city, I must let you treat you, don't forget it. ”

Li Yulian told Ai Xiang very happily: "It seems that you still remember that I told you about opening a chain store, I am now on the street of your office building, less than a hundred meters away from you, you go downstairs and go west, there is a crossroads in front, there is a newly opened barbecue restaurant, called 'Shanjuyuan Roast Pheasant', do you have time to come?" ”

Ai Xiang didn't expect that what Li Yulian said would be done so quickly, and he was very surprised: "You really opened a store in the city?" It's still under my nose, when was it open? Why don't I know at all? It seems that you are not only a rich little girl, but also a mysterious little sister, well, amazing, I really admire. ”

Li Yulian's tone suddenly became a little erratic: "Actually, you don't know, I also had an old relationship with this city. Also, I can't be your little sister, in terms of age, I should be a year older than you. When you stayed at the 'Mid-Levels Residence', you registered your ID card, I took a look, if I remember correctly, the date of birth shown on your ID card is not earlier than mine, so you should call me sister, at least not my little sister. ”

Ai Xiang felt that this mountain girl was really not such a simple person: "I just said that you are a mysterious little sister, you really became a mysterious little sister in seconds, how many mysterious stories do you have?" I haven't seen your ID card, what you say can only be one-sided, it can't be counted, and I can only continue to call you little sister for the time being. ”

"Then call as you please, will you come? I'm in the store today, and I'm going to another place tomorrow to investigate the opening of a new store. Come on, sister will personally accompany you, the foodie brother. Li Yulian once again sent out a pleasant invitation on the phone.

Ai Xiang's heart gave birth to an inexplicable sense of curiosity, in addition to being shrewd and capable, what other stories does this mountain girl have? What kind of old relationship did she have with the city? Ai Xiang thought about it and agreed: "Okay, rich little girl, I'll come over in a while." ”
