In the workplace, the relationship between colleagues is basically maintained by working together.
Once you leave, the relationship is over.
If you can continue to keep in touch, the relationship will most likely evolve into friendship.
There are several kinds of interpersonal relationships in the world: lovers, relatives, friends, colleagues, and strangers.
Colleagues are a relationship between friends and strangers.
After returning to work after the Chinese New Year this year, the relationship between Yang Fan and Yang Ruyi is no longer that of colleagues, but of friends.
It's not that he is charming, but that he went to the Food and Fashion Channel. He and Yang Ruyi are not in the same office, or even on the same channel. They have no intersection in work, let alone common interests.
Yang Ruyi's relationship with Yang Fan is better than Hu Xinlai and Li Weimin, mostly because Hu Xinlai and Li Weimin are in the same program group and office as Yang Ruyi, and are even her subordinates.
If it weren't for the fact that she and Li Weimin were colleagues, Yang Ruyi would not have agreed to let Li Weimin help her move a few days ago.
And Li Weimin must be going to the gym. What does it have to do with me
"Let's have some appetizers first." The hot pot base came, but the ingredients hadn't yet arrived. A portion of diced radish was served first. Yang Fan said to Yang Ruyi and took the lead.
He hosted this meal and was responsible for paying the bill.
The diced radish, which is smaller than a finger, is mainly sour with a secondary sweetness. It is very appetizing and can also relieve greasiness.
Listening to the crisp sound of the diced radish being chewed in Yang Fan's mouth, Yang Ruyi suddenly felt that her appetite had been whetted before she even tasted it.
Afterwards, before the hot pot ingredients came out, a serving of dry pot bullfrog came out first, and the waiter went to get rice for Yang Fan and Yang Ruyi.
"Eat! Bullfrog is known as the king of meat. The bullfrog in this restaurant is especially tender." Yang Fan picked up a large piece of bullfrog meat for Yang Ruyi and put it in her small soup bowl.
People in Shancheng do not have the habit of having a bowl of soup before meals like people in Guangdong Province, so the small soup bowl of people in Shancheng should actually be called a small dish bowl, which is specially used to hold the dishes that diners pick up from the plates.
A small plate called a bone dish is used to hold bones and other residues.
Yang Ruyi was not very surprised that Yang Fan picked up some food for her.
She is now a key protected person, and judging by Yang Fan's way and habits of treating people, he now treats her as a little sister.
Caring and being cared for have nothing to do with age.
"Thank you, I'll do it myself." Yang Ruyi was a little flattered. If she didn't know that Yang Fan had a girlfriend, she might have thought something wrong, thinking that Yang Fan had bad intentions towards her and wanted to take advantage of her.
"Eat it. I'll only serve you once. There's no more." Yang Fan didn't wait for the rice to come and started eating the vegetables first.
"Well, it's really tender and delicious." After taking a bite of the bullfrog, Yang Ruyi's eyes lit up.
Yang Fan said as he ate: "Bullfrogs have a low fat content. When you take a bite, it is almost all lean meat. You can eat more in the summer without gaining weight. You can eat as much as you want. It's just that the price is a little more expensive than ordinary meats such as pork and chicken.
Yang Ruyi looked at the dry pot basin. The bullfrog meat inside was in cloves, just like garlic cloves, all bulging with muscles, and it looked delicious.
After eating a piece of meat, Yang Fan exclaimed: "Bullfrog meat is not only delicious but also rich in nutritional value. It has the effects of nourishing, detoxifying and appetizing. Patients with poor digestion or excessive stomach acid are most suitable for eating frog meat. People with weak constitutions or illnesses can use it as a nutritional supplement to replenish their bodies. It has high nutritional value."
"Then I'll have to eat more." Yang Ruyi was even more moved by what Yang Fan said.
Yang Fan nodded: "I will make a bullfrog dish from time to time at home. Eating bullfrog regularly can promote the body's blood and qi, replenish energy, nourish yin and strengthen yang, and have the effect of nourishing the heart, calming the mind and replenishing qi. It has the highest protein content among all meats, is good for the brain and intelligence, and is most suitable for summer."
Yang Ruyi asked curiously: "Xiao Fan, can you cook a lot of dishes?"
"If you don't know how, you can learn. If you search on the Internet, you will find recipes for all kinds of dishes. As for the recipes for bullfrog dishes, I only knew how to stir-fry bullfrog with green peppers at first. Later, I learned how to boil bullfrog, steam bullfrog and make a fragrant pot of bullfrog. I didn't learn any more." Yang Fan said.
I had only taken a few bites of the dry pot bullfrog when the hot pot ingredients finally arrived.
There are meats such as fatty beef and mutton, seafood such as lobster and fish balls, vegetables such as lettuce and lotus root, and soy products such as tofu and bean sprouts.
"It's too much, there are only two of us." Only then did Yang Ruyi realize that Yang Fan ordered so many things.
The portion of dry pot bullfrog is quite big. If it were any other day, she and her boyfriend would order a pot of this dish and a portion of vegetables, which would be more than enough.
Now, Yang Fan also ordered so many hot pot ingredients.
"There are also hand-pulled lamb and roasted lamb." Yang Fan said with a smile.
"Why order so much? The two of us can't finish it!" Yang Ruyi was very sad.
No, it's three people.
But Yang Fan didn't say it, and called the waiter: "Beauty, do you have barley wine?"
"Yes, handsome man," the waiter responded.
After asking what brands of highland barley wine were available, Yang Fan asked the waiter to bring a bottle of one of them.
"Did you win the lottery? You're so wasteful." After the waiter went to get the wine, Yang Ruyi muttered, feeling somewhat happy.
The shadow of broken love has dissipated a lot. It’s not that the person is not good enough, it’s just that the timing is not right.
But it is unrealistic to expect to be fully revived immediately. Even if you change boyfriends quickly, sadness will catch up.
Besides, she didn't start a new relationship, she was just having a meal with some good friends.
Given Yang Ruyi's personality, if a member of the opposite sex who had shown signs of having interest in her before asked her out now, she would outright refuse.
If she didn't know that Yang Fan had a girlfriend, she would most likely have refused if he asked her to have dinner alone today.
She was not like some naive girls who said they would never believe in love again and would never look for a boyfriend after a breakup, but ended up getting married just a year later.
She just doesn't want to be in a relationship lately.
“You know what, I feel like I’ve won the lottery every day lately. I’m having a very happy life.” Yang Fan said with a smile.
"Did you gain so much from this trip back to your hometown?" Yang Ruyi asked.
"Yes, I brought my daughter back to show my parents. They were very happy," said Yang Fan.
Yang Ruyi knew that Yang Fan had adopted a godson, and she was happy for him when she heard it.
While eating, a message came. Yang Fan took a look at it, replied, and then looked out the window.
There are blue sky and white clouds outside, tall buildings everywhere, and the sun is not very bright.
The wind blew, and the advertising banner on the wall of a building opposite swayed gently, forming layers of ripples.
We walked through one street after another, and more than 20 kilometers away, my girlfriend was boarding a plane to leave the mountain city.
"Whose information is this?" Yang Ruyi asked.
Yang Fan put down his phone and continued eating. While eating, he said, "My girlfriend is boarding a plane at the airport now. In about twenty minutes, she will fly away from Shancheng and get farther and farther away from me."
"That's what celebrities are like, running around everywhere." Yang Ruyi used to envy celebrities who could fly around, but now she doesn't envy them anymore.
She just envied the rich.
