The man became even more anxious when he thought of this, and hurriedly contacted a few friends to inquire about the situation, but the friend hung up on the phone as soon as he got through, and finally contacted a friend, wanting to ask if he could sell some raw materials urgently, but that friend He said bluntly: "It's really gone."
"Aren't I going to tell you? Which friend cut off my supply source for this material. I'm really in a hurry for this batch..." The man wanted to ask some questions from him, but he didn't expect him to ask just now. exit, the other party directly said that he did not know, and then hung up the phone.
He made several phone calls in succession with almost the same reply. The man finally knew that he should be a big person who must be offended. However, before he could find out which boss he had offended, the boss who signed the order with him called him to urge the goods. , and several merchants he cooperated with before also complained because of the quality of the goods.
The supply of raw materials is in short supply, the quality of exported products has been questioned, and even a large number of return applications have been received... All kinds of things are overwhelming, and the quality problems that were suppressed before are brought up again, and even the media are all because of this incident He started breaking the news about his family's production line, and when the company's internal financial problems were carefully checked, major gaps were found. The shareholders involved came to ask him about his situation, including Bai Chengxue.
The man looked at the non-stop ringing phone on the table, and finally realized that this time it might really be over.

When Pei Mingzhan was cooking, he naturally noticed that the kitchen was a bit messy. Even though Uncle Wang had cleaned it up in advance, there was a creamy sweet smell in the air that couldn't go away. When he opened the refrigerator, he noticed the materials in the fresh-keeping layer. Based on the degree of spoilage of those materials and the weird recipes that Zhao Yao forwarded on the Internet, it is not difficult to guess whose handwriting it is.
Zhao Yao seems to be omnipotent, but it seems that he hasn't lit up his skills when it comes to making desserts.
After Zhao Yao came out of the study, he nestled on the sofa and watched TV. When he saw Uncle Wang approaching, he asked, "Has the kitchen been cleaned up?"
Uncle Wang tacitly said: "Clean up."
Zhao Yao felt relieved, and turned his gaze back to the TV.
Pei Mingzhan's cooking speed is very fast, with skilled knife skills and smooth techniques, he can turn the pot and put the ingredients in a smooth manner. He has prepared two or three dishes in half an hour. When he saw the ingredients in the refrigerator, he just came over to take a look Uncle Wang of the situation: "Can the ingredients in the refrigerator be used? I can make two desserts."
The ingredients can only be those that the young master practiced making desserts in the afternoon.
Uncle Wang hesitated to speak, and finally said: "It's okay, you can use it."
Pei Mingzhan smiled, "Okay."
Uncle Wang watched Pei Mingzhan take out the ingredients that the young master had fooled, thinking that he would have to go to the supermarket to complete the ingredients later. Recently, my young master is keen on making desserts. Uncle Wang presumably made them for Mr. Pei, so the young master probably doesn't want Mr. Pei to know in advance.
Zhao Yao didn't know that Pei Mingzhan had used the puffs he had just prepared to make in the kitchen. After he finished watching an episode of the TV series, there was no movement in the kitchen, so he felt strange and went to check the situation.
With Pei Mingzhan's cooking speed, this meeting should have been finished.
And when he walked to the kitchen, Pei Mingzhan was bringing out desserts from the oven, and when he saw him coming, he beckoned him to come closer, "Come here and try."
Zhao Yao approached and saw a dessert like an online template, and then looked at Pei Mingzhan strangely, "Why do you want to make this all of a sudden?" He only read the dessert tutorial on the Internet two days ago. Give this a try.
"You try it first?" Pei Mingzhan forked a piece for Zhao Yao, "Be careful, eat slowly."
Zhao Yao waited for the wind to cool down for a while before carefully testing the temperature. He has learned to cook a lot these days, and the smell of desserts makes him feel a little nauseous, but what Pei Mingzhan made is different from the smell in the air The taste is different, the sweetness is moderate, and it will not be too sweet like him. He asked in surprise: "How do you make this?"
Uncle Wang had already brought out a lot of things. Pei Mingzhan took down the desserts on the baking tray and explained the method to Zhao Yao while walking. After he finished the process, he said, "Want to learn? teach you?"
The online tutorials are complicated, but Pei Mingzhan's explanation is very simple. Zhao Yao has been stumped by these things for the past few days, so he nodded and agreed when he heard what he said.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the affairs of Pei Mingzhan's company are about to come to an end. The air tickets have been booked, and they plan to go to City H in a few days. Yao Bai came to ask about the Chinese New Year two days ago. Zhao Yao estimated the situation this year and originally planned to visit Zheng’s family in H City before coming back to celebrate the New Year. However, because of Pei Mingzhan’s temporary invitation, he estimated that this year he and Uncle Wang would have to stay H city.
In fact, his relationship with the Zheng family is not as deep as that of Uncle Wang. Although Uncle Wang is a widow, he still knows many friends in the Zheng family. Presumably, he will not be too lonely during the Chinese New Year. It's just that he and the Zheng family haven't seen each other for several years, and now he thinks about it very strangely, and it's the first time he visits Pei Mingzhan's house. He already planned to find a hotel if Uncle Wang has other arrangements. By the way in a few days.
At the dinner table, the three of them discussed the itinerary to go to H City. After dinner, Zhao Yao and Pei Mingzhan went downstairs for a walk, and went to the supermarket to buy materials.
The community is very quiet at night, and this is a wealthy area, so there are fewer people walking around at night. Pei Mingzhan took Zhao Yao's hand and walked side by side on the path.
"Isn't it your birthday soon after the Chinese New Year?" Pei Mingzhan said suddenly.
Birthday? Zhao Yao is a bit unfamiliar with this concept. When he was a child, his mother was always there when he celebrated his birthday. The tall cake invited a lot of relatives and friends, which made the deserted old house more interesting. But then he didn't celebrate his birthday, because the same cake was equally lively, but no one told him when to blow out the candles to make a wish, and no one held his hand to cut the cake.
Zhao Yao said calmly: "Really? I don't even remember, it's just my birthday."
Birthday has always been a simple blessing. As he is getting older, his classmates would ask him about his birthday when he was in school, and the employees would celebrate his birthday when he was working, but he would just say a simple birthday, and his classmates would be surprised that his family background would not But birthday? The employees would tidy up all the arrangements in panic and dare not touch his back, but in fact it was a very simple thing, but it became his birthday in his mouth, but it was a very strange or very important thing.
"Why not your birthday?" Pei Mingzhan asked.
Zhao Yao paused for a moment, and then said after a short silence: "I haven't celebrated my birthday since I was eight years old. In fact, it's not a big deal. Uncle Wang and the housekeeper at home will still make arrangements for birthdays. It's just that I never celebrate banquets. Go, gradually they stopped doing it.”
Pei Mingzhan's voice couldn't help slowing down: "Can I ask why?"
"When I was young, I was self-willed. After my mother left, my relationship with my family was very awkward. Later, my father married a new wife, and I felt that it didn't matter if I was in the family or not." Zhao Yao spoke slowly, as if Recalling something, "I didn't have anything to do afterwards, and when I got older, I moved out with Uncle Wang and lived outside."
"Actually, I don't hate birthdays. When I was a child, I always thought of her when I was a child. I wondered why my mother was not there during the birthday. My mother didn't ask me to make a wish or cut the cake. Later, I didn't want to celebrate it, so I That's it." Zhao Yao laughed, "When I grow up, I feel that celebrating birthdays is very troublesome. In a circle like ours, many people will come to celebrate your birthday, and there are all kinds of people to socialize and make connections... Then there is no pass."
Zhao Yao didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this to Pei Mingzhan. To be honest, it was the first time he talked about such things in his heart. Even for people like Uncle Wang Yao Bai, he never said anything about it. .
Too cowardly to be like him.
But when facing Pei Mingzhan, he seemed to be able to easily tell even the secret. He couldn't explain this feeling, but he felt that if he told him, he would definitely understand and understand.
While talking, Pei Mingzhan stopped suddenly.
Zhao Yao turned his head to look at him, "Why don't you leave?"
Pei Mingzhan embraced him, "I really want to celebrate your birthday, ask you to make a wish to help you cut the cake, and then take you to fly a kite."
Zhao Yao was taken aback for a moment, "The front is quite serious, why do you want to fly a kite?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something. It seemed that someone in his memory took him to fly a kite. In the vast field, a boy who was much taller than him was running with a kite to his heart's content.
"I just want to take you to fly a kite." Pei Mingzhan let go of him a little, then lowered his head, holding Zhao Yao's face and suddenly kissed him.
The weather turned cold at night, and the cold wind was blowing on the path, but Zhao Yao didn't feel cold at all.
Pei Mingzhan's breath was like a warm wind blowing on his face. The kiss made his whole body go limp. The kiss made him feel hot from the inside of his bones. Even the hands holding his face were scalding hot.
After an unknown amount of time, Pei Mingzhan finally let go, "Shall I teach you how to make cakes tomorrow?"
Zhao Yao was a little dazed by his kiss, and suddenly heard him say that he hadn't reacted to making cakes, "Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow night." Pei Mingzhan said again: "Do you want to learn?"
"I'll see if it's easy to learn." Zhao Yao touched the corner of his mouth slightly, "You bite a bit hard."
Pei Mingzhan turned his head to look, "Really? Let me see?"
…
It was a bit late for the two of them to return home after shopping. Uncle Wang had prepared the ingredients and waited for them, but when the two came back and put down the ingredients, they said they were going to rest. Uncle Wang saw that the young master and Mr. Pei went to the audio-visual room after taking a bath, so he didn't bother him any more.
On the way, Zhao Yao was kissed by Pei Mingzhan several times. He was still a little depressed at first, but he didn't think about anything because he kissed him. Originally, the two planned to watch a movie and rest, but when they went to the audio-visual room, they got a little hot.
Zhao Yao couldn't express this feeling, he just wanted to get closer to Pei Mingzhan, and he didn't have time to think about other things in his mind. When he realized it, Pei Mingzhan was already on top of him.
In the end, the movie was not finished, and the two went to the bathroom after defeating each other.
Uncle Wang was downstairs watching Xiao Ji's latest show. When he finished watching Duan Shui and sent him upstairs, he happened to see Mr. Pei naked to the waist, with a bath towel hanging around his neck, and there were still drips of water on his body. , Just came out of the young master's room. Pei Mingzhan was a little taken aback when he saw Uncle Wang holding a water glass in his hand, as if he didn't expect someone to come over at this time.
Uncle Wang looked calm, handed the water glass to Pei Mingzhan, and gently reminded: "Mr. Pei, don't catch a cold."
