Chapter 339: "This Explains!"
Xiang Kun is already very experienced in this kind of banquet for ten people and multiple people eating together, so he can find a way to actually not eat much but not be noticed at all, blend into the rhythm of other people's meals, and only eat a small amount of food to get by.
Normally, according to his original assumptions and deductions, under the influence of his deliberate guidance and the inherent impressions formed in the past, except for the initial change in his appearance and hairstyle, everyone's attention will not be on him during the wedding banquet.
But because of Chu Xiuwen's unexpected appearance, this situation has changed, especially Li Peiye, who was sitting next to him, became very concerned about Xiang Kun.
"Xiang Kun, didn't you like to do programs when you were in middle school? You have been in your previous company for several years, right? Why did you suddenly stop doing it, and you changed directly to the catering industry, this span is a bit big? Is there any reason?" Li Peiye asked curiously.
"My original company went out of business, and a friend happened to open a restaurant in Tongshi Town, and after discussing it, I was ready to try it together. Xiang Kun tried his best to make his situation sound more ordinary and ordinary, reducing the other party's curiosity and interest. He actually knew that Li Peiye was mainly confused and curious because of Chu Xiuwen's attitude towards him.
"It's good to try a different industry, hey, if there's anything you need help with, just let me know. Although we do not have a branch in Jianzhou, we still have many acquaintances...... Hmm, but since you know Mr. Chu, there shouldn't be any problems in Tongshi Town. ”
Xiang Kun still smiled shyly: "Actually, the main thing is done by my friends, and I just make soy sauce." ”
"Where is the name and location of your restaurant, I will also ask some friends to go to Tongshi Town to play when I find time in the future, and you will have to treat yourself then!" Li Peiye said with a smile.
"No problem. Xiang Kun naturally nodded in response.
After a while, Li Peiye whispered again: "By the way, Xiang Kun, didn't you chase Shen Shuling from the next class when you were studying before, look at the table next to you, is that Shen Shuling?"
Xiang Kun couldn't cry and laughed: "You remember wrong...... It was Zheng Shaokun from the next class who chased her. ”
"Really?" Li Peiye looked stunned.
Wei Zhuo also smiled: "Peipei, Shen Shuling is also married, you forgot, I couldn't go at that time, so I still asked you to bring the red envelope." ”
"Seems to be really...... , I can't be recruited for Alzheimer's disease, right?" Li Peiye patted his forehead, and said to Xiang Kun: "It's okay, my wife has a lot of young female teachers in their school, I'll let her introduce you to a few when I go back!"
Xiang Kun hurriedly said: "No need......"
He was about to find a reason to refuse the blind date, but Xiao Jie said directly to Li Peiye: "Peipei, don't worry about salty radishes! Xiang Kun's girlfriend is a big beauty!"
Wei Zhuo also agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, it's a big beauty, an absolute big beauty, which school is the kind of school flower level, and it's very tall, half a head shorter than Xiang Kun, it doesn't seem to be wearing high heels?"
Xiang Kun immediately knew that the couple was talking about Lao Xia, who they saw when they met by chance at the door of the supermarket before, and hurriedly said, "That is not my girlfriend......"
Wei Zhuo said with a "I understand" expression: "Let's all go grocery shopping together, even if it's not a girlfriend, it's almost the same, anyway, you come on!"
Li Peiye also smiled: "My fault, my fault, I didn't even ask if you have a girlfriend first, grandma's, it's definitely your bald head that gave me the illusion that you are single...... Ha ha. ”
Seeing that the interest of other classmates was aroused by the topic of "Xiang Kun has a beautiful girlfriend to Xiang Kun" by Wei Zhuo and Xiaojie, Xiang Kun was also a little helpless, he also knew that it was useless to explain, so he could only continue to smile politely and awkwardly, maintaining his introverted and shy and unsociable personality.
In the middle of the wedding banquet, after the bride and groom came over to toast, Xiang Kun said goodbye to his old classmates and Chu Xiuwen on the grounds that he still had something to do, and was ready to leave first.
Before leaving, Li Peiye pulled him and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any arrangements for the evening? It's rare for old classmates to be so together, I'm going to invite everyone to have a meal and sing a song together." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm going back to the city where I worked today, I still have some things to do over there, book a flight tonight, next time, next time I have a chance to meet again." Xiang Kun said honestly.
Seeing Xiang Kun go to talk to the groom again, and then leave the wedding banquet hall, Li Peiye noticed Chu Xiuwen who was a few tables away, and his eyes had been paying attention to Xiang Kun's movements, and more questions arose in his heart.
Although he and Xiang Kun are not very acquainted, they have been old classmates for many years, and when Xiang Kun comes back to Thorn Tong every holiday, their group of people will occasionally get together for a meal or a supper or something, and they think they have a certain understanding of Xiang Kun.
Judging from the feeling of chatting today, although Xiang Kun's appearance has changed a lot, his hair is gone, and his figure is strong, his personality is still the same as before, he doesn't like to talk on crowded occasions, he always nests in the corner to "pretend to be dead", he doesn't have any scheming, he doesn't like to be in the limelight, and he doesn't like to socialize.
There is no reason for Xiang Kun to suddenly give up his technical work for so many years and suddenly start doing catering, it must be not only because the company has collapsed, but there should be some other reasons.
He guessed before that Chu Xiuwen's attitude towards Xiang Kun might be because the friends who were with Xiang Kun at the beginning of the meal were very big, but now he thought about it again, even if Xiang Kun's friends were very big, it was unlikely that Chu Xiuwen would transfer his awe of that "friend" to Xiang Kun when that "friend" was not there, there was no reason for this.
Unless Xiang Kun himself has an unusual identity or other abilities.
But Xiang Kun's family situation, these old classmates are very clear, and there is no reason for Chu Xiuwen to behave like this.
However, the words of Wei Zhuo and his wife just now made a flash of lightning flash in his mind, connecting several pieces of information together:
He listened to his father and some elders talking about the abnormal movements of some bigwigs, and suspected that the above should focus on the development of Copperstone Town......
Xiang Kun suddenly changed his career and went to Tongshi Town to open a restaurant......
Chu Xiuwen, the local "rich man" of Tongshi Town, was very respectful and even a little in awe of Xiang Kun......
Xiang Kun has a "big beautiful girlfriend"......
Li Peiye's heart came to an inference that could not be confirmed for the time being, but he felt that he could explain many doubts at once:
Xiang Kun became the quasi-son-in-law of a certain bigwig, he didn't stay in the first-tier city to work, and he didn't stay in Thornton City when he came back, but he went to Tongshi Town to open a restaurant with people, because he got the big guy's suggestion, and Chu Xiuwen, the local rich man in Tongshi Town, knew that Xiang Kun might "represent" the big guy in Tongshi Town in the future, so he would have that attitude.
If that's the case, it makes sense!
Li Peiye couldn't help but wonder, if the catering industry in Tongshi Town is a development opportunity, then what type of policies will be issued above? It should be to promote tourism, right?
Originally, he listened to his father and elders talk about the topic of Tongshi Town, but he didn't have any ideas, after all, that level of affairs was not something that his current ability and capital could participate in. But if Xiang Kun is really that important identity, then maybe he really has a chance?
Li Peiye pondered, and when he went back and waited for Xiang Kun's restaurant to open, he had to find an opportunity to go there and explore it again.
......
At about seven o'clock in the evening, after having dinner at the third aunt's house, Xia Libing went out with the third aunt, went to the parking lot, and prepared to drive to pick up Xiang Kun - the third aunt was going to take them to the airport.
Because I have to ask for leave from the hospital, and I have to take several days off, it is impossible to hide from the third aunt, who is the vice president, and I have to find a good reason to let the third aunt agree.
Sitting in the car, the third aunt couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoice, are you carrying a large bunch of keys or what, why do you walk so loudly?"
Xia Libing let out an "oh", took out a handful of coins from the left coat pocket and said, "It's money." ”
The third aunt said strangely: "There seems to be a voice on the right?"
Xia Libing took out a handful of coins from his right pocket: "It's also money." ”
The third aunt was even more strange: "What are you doing with so many coins? Now don't young people pay with their mobile phones, and they don't even bring banknotes, why do you bring so many coins?"
Xia Libing said, "Play." Then, with the dexterity of his right hand, he quickly flipped a coin on the back of his hand.
"You don't have to take that much with you...... the third aunt noticed the obviously men's backpack that Xia Libing put at her feet, and asked, "Xiaoice, what about the bag I gave you? That bag can hold a lot of things, right? Why don't I look at you very much." ”
Xia Libing said: "This bag to Xiangkun, I want to return it to him, and carry it by the way." ”
The third aunt said strangely: "Then you return the bag to him, what will your things be used for then?"
Xia Libing took out a large plastic bag folded into a thick square from the side pocket of his backpack, which was suspected to be sent by an electric city, and said, "I can use this." ”
The third aunt was speechless.
drove to the agreed bus stop, picked up Xiang Kun who was carrying a large bag and a small bag, and the third aunt was curious: "Why do you bring so many things?"
Xiang Kun said hello before replying: "They are all kinds of specialties of our thorn tree, and I brought them back to my friends." After he came out of the wedding banquet at noon, he went to buy things, which he was going to bring to Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, and Chang Bin. But unexpectedly, when he went home, he found that because he had told his mother that he would go back tonight, his mother also prepared a lot of specialties for him. Xiang Kun thought about it anyway, he had a lot of strength, and he wasn't afraid of being tired, so he simply brought it all.
"Why do you suddenly want to go back at this time? The third aunt asked strangely.
Xiang Kun said according to the reason for being good with Lao Xia before: "The main thing is that there is something wrong with the project I am working on now, and it just so happens that Xiao Xia is good at some aspects, so I asked her to help...... Will it delay the hospital?"
"Not really. The third aunt glanced at Xiang Kun in the back seat through the rearview mirror and asked, "So you often meet these days, just to discuss the projects you are working on?"
"Yes, thanks to Xiao Xia, she helped me solve a lot of problems. Xiang Kun said "sincerely".
"Oh? What specific project are you doing, is it related to Xiaoice's major?"
"It is the relationship between psychology and user psychology, and the specific details are more difficult to describe in words. Xiang Kun said half-truthfully.
The third aunt didn't continue to ask, but asked, "Xiao Xiang, your cooking skills seem to be quite good?"
"It's kind of a trivial talent in cooking. Xiang Kun said modestly.
When the third aunt went to Xia Libing's rented house this afternoon to take her back to her house for dinner, she deliberately went to the kitchen of the rented house to wander around and check the leftovers and ingredients in the refrigerator - they were basically consumed.
She knew that Xiang Kun sent supper to Xia Libing to the hospital on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and went to Xia Libing's house at noon to make a large table of dishes, and in the past two days, Xiang Kun should have often gone to Xia Libing's rented house, and used the kitchen and cooked meals - with her understanding of her niece, if she was alone, the consumption of leftovers and ingredients would definitely not be so fast, and Xia Libing would basically not cook and eat at home.
Moreover, the third aunt also secretly asked the security guards of the community over there, and knew that Xiang Kun had only returned in the middle of the night for the past two days. She didn't deliberately "buy" the security guard to do eyeliner, but Xiang Kun's figure and "hairstyle" are too iconic and easy to recognize.
In addition, on the night of the twenty-ninth year ago, Xiang Kun helped Xia Libing kill the two murderers, which made the third aunt have a very "reasonable" imagination about the relationship between the two of them.
