After the hangover, Xiao Zheng asked Lin Huayin for leave that night, so he didn't open his eyes on time at seven o'clock in the morning no matter how late he slept as usual. Lin Huayin was also very attentive. She made very little noise when she got up. She helped Xiao Zheng prepare breakfast before driving to work.
When Xiao Zheng got up, he only felt a splitting headache. This was the sequelae of the crazy drinking last night. After going downstairs, Xiao Zheng drank a large glass of boiled water to soothe his smoking throat. Then he picked up the morning newspaper prepared by Lin Huayin and ate a hearty breakfast while reading it.
Lin Huayin knew that he didn't like Western-style meals, so he always made breakfast separately. She had sandwiches and drank milk, while Xiao Zheng had freshly squeezed soy milk and fried noodles and fried dough sticks. Look, although Lao Lin is a little cold, his heart is still very warm.
After finishing breakfast bored and reading the current news that interested him, Xiao Zheng originally wanted to stay in the living room and watch TV, eat some fruit, and recuperate his overwhelmed body. But he was stopped by the sudden ringing of the phone.
Picking up the phone and looking at the caller ID, it turned out to be Jiang Qing.
How could this woman think of calling herself
Xiao Zheng answered the call, threw his body limply on the sofa, and asked lazily: "Captain Jiang, I called you early in the morning. Could it be that the Dragon Team is about to launch a secret training camp?"
Jiang Qing's iconic magnetic voice came over the phone. It was more powerful than ordinary women, but also mixed with a special charm.
"No."
A serious answer.
"Then why are you looking for me so early in the morning?" Xiao Zheng burped in an indistinct manner and said with a smile. "I had a full breakfast, so there's no need to ask me out."
"Where's lunch?" Jiang Qing asked unexpectedly.
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng said with a dumb smile. "Captain Jiang, do you really want to invite me to dinner?"
"Yes." Jiang Qing replied without hesitation.
"Tell me, time and place."
Anyway, resting at home is also idle, meeting friends, chatting, and pretending to be cool, it's quite a comfortable life. Moreover, Jiang Qing is really a loyal woman. As long as she doesn't make excessive demands, Xiao Zheng will basically not refuse.
Jiang Qing spoke quickly, told the time and place, and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng took a look at the time. It was just less than half past ten, and there were still two hours before Jiang Qing's agreed date of half past twelve. The location was not too far away. It would only take half a day to drive there, even if there was a traffic jam. hours. I simply sat on the sofa and watched two episodes of TV before changing into a set of clean and comfortable clothes. I didn't pursue the quality of the brand, but the fit was important.
I drove to the restaurant I had made an appointment with Jiang Qing. As soon as I entered the room, I saw Jiang Qing sitting by the window. His eyes lit up involuntarily, and he thought to himself: Oh, I never thought that the dignified Captain Jiang would also wear a skirt sometimes
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Zheng strode over, put his hands in his pockets and said, "Captain Jiang, what kind of wind is blowing today? You actually want you to pay me to treat me to dinner?"
"I'm only responsible for treating you. It's not my turn to spend the money." Jiang Qing handed the menu to Xiao Zheng and said. "This is the most famous Sichuan restaurant in Yanjing. Let alone meals, even at three or four in the afternoon, it is always full and you can't book a seat."
"Captain Jiang, when did you change your career to become a gourmet?" Xiao Zheng joked. "Besides, do you think I'm blind? Since I entered the store, I haven't seen many customers, not even the waiters. You said this Sichuan restaurant is famous in Yanjing? But I feel that it is about to close down..."
A strange color flashed across Jiang Qing's eyes, and she pursed her lips and said, "Believe it or not, love."
She didn't bother to explain and urged Xiao Zheng to order.
While the two were chatting, a young woman dressed casually came out of the bathroom. He walked towards the dining table for two with a smile on his face.
"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"
After she said that, she sat down next to Jiang Qing.
Xiao Zheng only raised his head and glanced, his pupils contracted immediately, but he quickly calmed down his chaotic thoughts and said with a smile: "You two know each other?"
"We are more than just acquaintances. We have been good friends since childhood." The woman with a relaxed and casual style smiled and held Jiang Qing's arm affectionately.
On the other hand, Jiang Qing's expression was quite stiff and he kept smiling. Very perfunctory.
How could Xiao Zheng fail to see that Jiang Qing was unusual? Just wearing a skirt and taking the initiative to invite him to dinner was not something Jiang Qing would do. Sure enough, there is a black hand behind the scenes.
Who is this woman
It was Shang Yao who was knocked down by him last night. Unlike last night when she was dressed up, today she was simple and elegant, wearing a pair of canvas shoes and a pair of distinctive jeans on her straight and slender legs, giving off a fashionable atmosphere.
I have to say that today's Shang Yao is completely different from the Shang Yao in Xiao Zheng's impression. She became more approachable and more infectious. A few simple words and a few small actions revealed her easy-going side. Even his face, which was already mature than his peers, seemed to be several years younger. Full of sunshine.
Of course, when Xiao Zheng saw this woman for the first time, he felt wary deep in his heart. If he hadn't had confidence in Jiang Qing's strength, he would have suspected that Shang Yao had kidnapped Captain Jiang.
Faced with Shang Yao's very enthusiastic words, Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "It seems that Captain Jiang is right. This restaurant is indeed a time-honored and famous restaurant. It's just that it was booked by Miss Shang Yao today. That's why it is so deserted. ,Right?"
Shang Yao smiled happily and said, "It is indeed very pleasant to chat with a smart man like Mr. Xiao."
After that, she poured three cups of tea herself, one for Xiao Zheng, one for Jiang Qing, and one for herself.
"I drank too much last night. When I woke up this morning, I felt like my head was going to explode. We will have tea instead of wine for this meal. What do you think, Mr. Xiao?" Shang Yao picked up the tea cup and asked very easily.
"I can't drink anymore." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and picked up the tea cup. "cheers."
After taking a sip of tea, Shang Yao looked at Xiao Zheng with a smile on her face, pursed her red lips and said, "Mr. Xiao, you won't blame me for asking Xiaoqing to trick you into going to the appointment, right?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "I should feel proud to be invited by Miss Shang Yao. How can I blame you?" After a pause, he went straight to the topic. "I just don't know if Miss Shang Yao has any instructions for inviting me out this time?"
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Shang Yao shook his head quickly and smiled. "Mr. Xiao is such a successful businessman. I only have the job of studying, so how can I dare to give orders?"
"No reward for no merit." Xiao Zheng took a sip of tea and said meaningfully. "Miss Shang Yao has booked the entire restaurant for me to have this lunch. If I don't pay something, I won't be able to eat at ease."
After that, he glanced at Jiang Qing, who was sitting silently aside. He didn't know whether it was to liven up the atmosphere or to take care of the speechless Jiang Qing. He smiled and said: "Captain Jiang, is this the truth?"
