Chapter 971: Boating
The next day.
Zhou Qiang still got up early to run.
The island is not big, but it is not small either.
Running a lap along the lake takes a lot of time.
It didn't take long for Zhou Qiang to see Andy and Guan Juer.
They also came out for a run.
Their running habits are sticking well.
"Brother Qiang!" Guan Juer said hello.
"You're out for a run, too!" Zhou Qiang greeted.
"The air here is good." Andy said.
"yes, it's a good place to come on vacation often." Zhou Qiang said.
"I want to come, but I don't have time." Andy was a little helpless.
"Yes, it's a busy day, and we're about to take the year-end assessment, so we don't have time to come out." Guan Juer said.
Small talk.
Zhou Qiang quickened his pace and ran away.
Guest room.
Singularity, Wang Baichuan, Zhao Qiping, the three men also got up early and came out.
The other women were still sleeping.
The reason why the three men of the singularity came out was because they were a little lonely.
If you have a girlfriend in the bed, you won't come out.
"Brother Wei is early."
"Brother Wang, it's early."
"Brother Zhao is early."
The three men greeted each other.
"What kind of business does Brother Wang do?" Singularity asked.
"I just opened a small company" Wang Baichuan wanted to make friends with Wei Wei, so he said more.
On the side, Zhao Qiping was a little bored, so he practiced Baduanjin at will to stretch his muscles.
"There's an opportunity to work together." The singularity is polite.
"Okay." Wang Baichuan has some expectations. He is in dire need of a project now, and he is in a hurry to get his career started.
"Brother Zhao, what are you practicing?" Singularity asked.
"Baduanjin."
"Does it work?" Singularity then asked.
"Kind of useful."
"Then let's practice together."
"Okay, you guys make the first move with me, and hold Tianli Sanjiao with both hands."
Breakfast room.
Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei also came.
Only Qu Xiaoxuan didn't come, she was drunk and didn't wake up yet.
"What are we going to do later?" Andy asks the singularity.
"Fishing, boating, orchard picking, wine tasting, etc., you can do anything." Singularity said.
"Then let's row first." Andy said.
"Okay."
Had breakfast.
The group all went boating.
Qu Xiaoxuan was still asleep in her room.
The two of them were in a small boat, and they both wore life jackets.
Singularity, Andy one.
Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan one.
Guan Juer and Zhao Qiping.
Zhou Qiang and Qiu Yingying.
"It's not fun to just row, why don't you have a race?" Zhou Qiang proposed.
"How do you compare?" Zhao Qiping asked. He's a little bit eager to try and he wants to compete.
"Paddle from here to the tree over there and see who gets there first." Zhou Qiang pointed to the distance, which was a little farther.
"Okay!" Zhao Qiping was the first to agree.
"Okay." Wang Baichuan also agreed.
"Do you want a jackpot?" Singularity said, "I have two bottles of good wine here, and I will take them first." ”
"Okay." Zhou Qiang nodded, "Then thank you Brother Wei for the wine." "It looks like he's already won.
"Chef Zhou, you haven't started the competition yet, it doesn't have to be you who wins." Andy said with a smile.
"Haha, don't say anything else, just talk about age, these three thirty-year-old boys, who can compare to me?" Zhou Qiang was slightly arrogant.
Of the four men, only Zhou Qiang was in his twenties.
Others, Wang Baichuan and Zhao Qiping are in their early thirties, and Singularity is in their early forties.
"Being young doesn't always mean winning." Singularity is a little gnashing of teeth, four men he is the oldest, this is a pain point.
"Haha, let's take a look!" Zhou Qiang's eyes were shining and his spirits were bright.
"Compare to compare!" The singularity is coming.
Andy was also on the lookout. She doesn't like to lose, and Andy is subconsciously serious about the game.
The other Wang Baichuan and Zhao Qiping also became serious. They also don't want to lose in front of women.
"Ready? Have someone help shout to start. Zhou Qiang asked.
"Ready!" Several people replied.
"Boy, give us a shout." Zhou Qiang greeted the staff.
"Okay." The staff nodded, "Ready, ready, run!" ”
The four boats rowed out without a swish.
Neither are professional rowers.
The speed is not so fast, and it is still slowly accelerating.
Of course, Zhou Qiang released the water and didn't exert much force.
But even so, Zhou Qiang easily rowed to the front.
He didn't continue to exert his strength, but looked back at the moon, "Old boys? Why are they all behind? Come on! ”
"Humph!" Singularity ignored Zhou Qiang, and worked hard with Andy to move forward.
The same is true for Wang Baichuan and Fan Shengmei.
"Don't be arrogant, I'll catch up with you right away!" Zhao Qiping is okay and can still shout.
"Oh, Dr. Zhao can catch up with me right away!" Zhou stressed and pretended to stroke hard, but he was deliberately caught up.
"Brother Qiang, are you still arrogant?" Zhao Qiping and Guan Juer were the first to catch up with Zhou Qiang.
Then.
Wang Baichuan and Fan Shengmei also caught up.
"Come on!" Wang Baichuan also encouraged.
Then, Singularity and Andy catch up as well.
Singularity shouted proudly: "Chef Zhou, hurry up, what's the matter?" ”
"Haha, let's be proud for a while!" Zhou Qiang laughed, without the urgency of being caught up.
"Brother Qiang, hurry up!" Qiu Yingying was a little anxious.
"Don't worry, let them get complacent." Zhou Qiang slowly paddled behind.
The first three groups compete against each other.
Soon Zhao Qiping was caught up by Wang Baichuan.
Then, the singularity came from behind and caught up to the front.
Then, Zhao Qiping exerted his strength and went to the front again.
Then, Wang Baichuan rowed first.
The three boats are chasing me, and the competition is very fierce.
Within a few minutes, the three old men were sweating profusely, panting, and slowing down.
Then.
Zhou Qiang easily caught up, "Brother Wei, what's wrong?" Tired of it? You can't do this stamina, you have to work hard! ”
Singularity gritted his teeth and slashed forward, but he was still overtaken.
"Brother Wei, don't be affected, follow our pace." Andy reminded.
"Okay." Singularity and Andy adjust their breathing, find their rhythm again, and catch up.
Wang Baichuan and Zhao Qiping basically go hand in hand.
"Why can't you do it anymore?" Zhou Qiang's voice was close at hand.
"Hurry up, catch up!" Guan Juer and Fan Shengmei hurriedly reminded. They got into game shape as well.
"Come on!" Zhao Qiping shouted to cheer himself up.
"Come on!" Wang Baichuan also shouted.
They're all a little faster.
But he was still ruthlessly overtaken by Zhou Qiang.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Wang, you can't do this endurance, you still have to practice!" Zhou Qiang continued to tease.
"Don't be too arrogant, there's still a long way to go!" Zhao Qiping gritted his teeth and shouted.
But because of this shouting, his breathing was chaotic, and his speed immediately plummeted.
was overtaken by Wang Baichuan and ranked third.
Singularity and Andy also caught up with him.
Without waiting for Zhao Qiping to speed up, Singularity and Andy overtook him.
Zhao Qiping and Guan Juer became the last.
At this time, Zhao Qiping also resumed his breathing, cooperated with Guan Juer, and slowly accelerated.
Zhou Qiang, who was in the leading position, released water to reduce the speed, allowing Wang Baichuan to slowly catch up.
"Brother Wang, you are in good shape, you can get the second result!" Zhou Qiang started playing around again.
"Humph!" Wang Baichuan ignored Zhou Qiang and continued to sweat.
But he still can't catch up with Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang deliberately controlled the speed so that they could not catch up.
Later, Singularity and Andy slowly caught up.
"Hey, Brother Wang, hurry up, Brother Wei is catching up!" Zhou Qiang is still in the leading position, but he doesn't row well, and he always looks back at the moon.
Maybe Wang Baichuan heard the movement behind him.
Wang Baichuan worked harder, not wanting to be caught up.
But at this time, Fan Shengmei dragged her feet.
Fan Shengmei is delicate, and she has never been able to help.
At this time, he accidentally disrupted Wang Baichuan's rhythm.
With a whoosh, Andy and Singularity surpassed Wang Baichuan.
Later, Zhao Qiping and Guan Juer were also chasing forward.
"Oh, Brother Wei, have you made a lot of effort in the future? You're still old and strong! Seeing that the singularity surpassed Wang Baichuan and was slowly approaching, Zhou Qiang was still not in a hurry and continued to tease.
"Humph!" Singularity snorted coldly and continued to row with his head down.
"Rhythm, rhythm!" Andy reminded in the back that he had a tacit understanding with the singularity.
"Hahaha" Zhou Qiang suddenly laughed, "Old boys, this time I make you feel desperate!" ”
Zhou Qiang began to exert his strength.
One stroke, two strokes, three strokes, just a few strokes, it is a big cut over the others, and it is getting farther and farther away.
"Hahaha," Zhou Qiang laughed heartily while paddling.
"Hahaha," Qiu Yingying also laughed. She was overjoyed, too.
Singularity and Andy watched Zhou Qiang and Qiu Yingying go away a little weakly.
Zhao Qiping and Guan Juer also caught up with Wang Baichuan, but they also felt very powerless when they saw Zhou Qiang and Qiu Yingying go away.
Wang Baichuan and Fan Shengmei heard laughter at the end, and saw the gap with Zhou Qiang, and they were powerless: "I can't catch up." ”
Zhou Qiang indisputably won the first place.
The three old men were sweating profusely and gasping a little.
"Brother Wei, thank you for the wine." Zhou Qiang was deliberately triumphant.
"No thanks, I'll give it to you later." The singularity was not angry.
"I'll cook at noon, and I'll drink those two bottles of wine." Zhou Qiang said casually.
"Okay." Singularity smiled.
A few people rested for a while.
Paddle back slowly.
Tearoom.
A few people came over for tea.
The old party also came, asked people to pick some fresh fruits and sent them over, said a few polite words, and went to get busy again.
"Pair eight!"
"To ten!"
A few people started playing poker, or leveled up.
Andy and Singularity, playing cards with Zhou Qiang and Qiu Yingying.
Zhao Qiping and Guan Juer played cards with Wang Baichuan and Fan Shengmei.
Andy and Singularity both played well.
But I can't stand Zhou Qiang's good luck, every hand is a good card.
"I told you, Chef Zhou is lucky, every time it is a good card, do you believe it this time?" Andy told the singularity.
"That's the case, it's obvious that I shuffled the cards and I issued them, but it's still Brother Zhou's cards that are the best." Singularity nodded, a little helpless.
Although he and Andy are very good at playing cards, they can figure out what cards Qiu Yingying and Zhou Qiang have.
But Zhou Qiang's cards are too good, even if they are calculated, they are not of much use, and they still lose.
It didn't take long.
"Win! We won! Qiu Yingying jumped up.
Andy and Singularity glanced at each other, both a little helpless.
It's not that they can't play, it's that they're not as lucky.
The other side.
Wang Baichuan and Zhao Qiping are playing cards equally, they have won and lost each other, and the battle situation is still anxious.
Qiu Yingying ran to give Guan Juer ideas for a while, and Fan Shengmei for a while.
But Qiu Yingying's idea was not very good and was not adopted.
Play around for a while.
"I'll go to the kitchen and get ready." Zhou Qiang said.
"Then I'll go get the wine." Singularity said.
"Then let's go pick vegetables, what vegetables does Chef Zhou need?" Andy asked.
"A little of each of the vegetables in the garden." Zhou Qiang waved his hand.
"Okay, it looks like Chef Zhou is going to do a big job." Andy said with a smile.
Wow.
The sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen rang out.
Zhou forcibly chopped vegetables like a cloud.
Wang Baichuan, Zhao Qiping, Singularity, three men start to fight.
Not far away, five women chatted.
"You don't call me when you go out rowing." Qu Xiaoxuan also got up and chatted with Andy and them, yesterday's unpleasantness is in the past.
"Who didn't get you out of bed?" Qiu Yingying snorted, "Besides, you went, and no one rowed with you." ”
"Why no one? My buddy is still here. Yao Bin hasn't left yet, and is still waiting for Qu Xiaoxuan to summon him.
"What about the others?" Qiu Yingying asked.
"In the cellar."
"Then let him come over and have dinner together." Andy said.
"Okay." Qu Xiaoxuan also felt that Yao Bin should not be too neglected.
It didn't take long.
The meal is ready.
Five men and five women were served to eat.
"Hey, let me introduce you first, this is my buddy who grew up together, Yao Bin." Qu Xiaoxuan generously introduced.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yao Bin, I run a car dealership, everyone wants to maintain the car, you can come to me, 5% off." Yao Bin is also a scene person, and he greets him decently.
"Okay, I'll go." Zhou Qiang and a few people were polite.
Start eating.
"It smells so good!"
"It's delicious!"
"Chef Chow's cooking skills are amazing!" Singularity gave a thumbs up, "This is the best meal I've ever had." ”
"yes, I feel the same way." Yao Bin followed.
He also participated in a lot of dinners, and felt that Zhou Qiang did the best.
"Brother Qiang, why don't you open a high-end restaurant?" Qu Xiaoxuan asked.
"Didn't you say that before? Now the money earned is enough, there is no need to open a restaurant again. Zhou Qiang said while eating.
"Yes, yes, you see I forgot. Brother Qiang, you are only in your twenties and have already achieved financial freedom, which makes the other men here embarrassed. "Qu Xiaoxuan has nothing to do.
"I'm ashamed of myself." Zhao Qiping said first, "Don't say anything else, my income is not high, the house does not depend on my parents, the down payment is not complete, and some grievances are closed." ”
Zhao Qiping said generously that there was no inferiority.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a house, just rent a house." Guan Juer hurriedly said.
Zhao Qiping shook his head and didn't say anything more and continued to eat.
"I'm ashamed of myself, too." Wang Baichuan smiled bitterly, "My company has just started, and I can't make much money in a year." However, I am sure that next year will be even better. ”
Fan Shengmei ate elegantly and didn't say anything. She is not Wang Baichuan's girlfriend yet, and she doesn't want to talk too much.
"In this way, I'm in a better situation, after all, I have a house and a car, right?" Singularity said with a smile.
"You're in good condition, but you're still old and good." Qu Xiaoxuan shook his head, indicating that the appearance of the singularity was a little frustrated.
"Hey, there's no way, I look like this, I can only hope that Andy won't dislike it." Singularity didn't seem to be angry because of Qu Xiaoxuan's words.
But the singularity should have gas in its heart.
Singularity is a calculating person, and this kind of person should be petty and vindictive.
"It's okay, I don't dislike it, and you have a good sense of humor, Chef Zhou is not as good as you." Andy said.
"Well, I still have an advantage." Singularity looked at Zhou Qiang proudly.
"Don't be complacent, I was the first to row just now." Zhou Qiang also looked at the singularity proudly.
"Compared with your big brothers, I can't really compare with my family, I give you a cup." Yao Bin spoke, speaking very modestly.
"With the help of my family, it's already good to be able to do something without being defeated." Singularity toast. He has seen the rich second-generation loser, didn't that one lose two billion?
"Yes, good family conditions are also an advantage, which others can't envy." Zhao Qiping raised his glass.
"Cheers." Wang Baichuan raised his glass and didn't say anything.
"Brother Yao, I wish you to catch up with Xiaoqu as soon as possible and take this little goblin away." Zhou Qiang raised his glass.
"Definitely, definitely." Yao Bin smiled.
"What must be something? I don't want to chase me! Qu Xiaoxuan glanced at Zhao Qiping as he spoke.
Qu Xiaoxuan is still a thief to Zhao Qiping.
But Zhao Qiping has no other thoughts about Qu Xiaoxuan.
Eat and drink.
Lunch is over.
Take a break.
Everyone returned.
2201。
Singularity sends Andy back.
"Tea, or coffee?" Andy asked.
"Just coffee." Singularity knows that Andy is used to drinking coffee.
"What do you think of Zhou Qiang?" Andy wants to hear what Singularity has to say.
"Let's talk about Dr. Zhao first. He's tall, smart, and fun-loving, but he should be a good friend to make friends with. ”
"Yes."
"Besides, Wang Baichuan, he has been a little restrained in the past two days, maybe he lacks confidence.
Wang Baichuan's company has just started, and if you want to develop later, you have to work hard. ”
"Yes."
"Finally, Boss Zhou. Boss Zhou is the only one I can't see through. The singularity had a somewhat serious expression.
"Oh? Can't you see through it? ”
"Yes, in the past two days, Boss Zhou has done things smoothly, swaying freely, full of confidence, and full of confidence, not like a small boss of a bun shop."
"His bun shop is not small, isn't it? The monthly income is in the millions. ”
"No, Boss Zhou gives me the feeling like" Singularity paused for a moment before saying, "It's like a master retiring." ”
"Superior? Boss Zhou is indeed quite capable, some time ago about the online post, wasn't Boss Zhou hacked into the hacker's computer? ”
"Yes, Boss Zhou's steamed bun shop is doing brisk business.
Boss Zhou also knows hacking skills, and his skills are very superb.
Boss Zhou's cooking skills have nothing to say.
Boss Zhou also gambles.
Boss Zhou will have a lot of things. ”
"Yes, indeed."
"With so many skills, he is certainly not an ordinary person, and he doesn't love money.
With Boss Zhou's cooking skills, opening a high-end restaurant can earn a lot more in a year. ”
"It's not about money. Some time ago, Lao Tan also wanted to ask Boss Zhou to be a computer security consultant
Boss Zhou got a computer security program
In the end, Shengxuan's shareholders had some concerns and did not agree. ”
"Such a capable person, but the object of his search is. What does a simple girl like Qiu Yingying mean? ”
"What does it mean?" Andy asked.
"It means that the master has retired." Singularity said with a smile.
"It seems so." Andy laughed too.
