The face was grateful and said, "But don't worry, I will not compete with Hongsheng for market share in Ningshi. As long as I can pick up a little bit outside Hongsheng's sphere of influence, I will be satisfied."

Cheng Yutang said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, the market is open, everyone competes fairly, and how much share you can take is a manifestation of your ability, I have no opinion."

Han Qing was instantly overjoyed, "Yutang, I know you are always generous, and it's not worth the fellowship of our classmates for several years!"

Cheng Yutang smiled, noncommittal.

Han Qingshi immediately raised his hand to look at his watch, and said, "It's just 12 o'clock, you should get off work too, just as I am here to treat. How about Ningcheng Chunxiao? I heard that it is the most high-end restaurant in Ning City, let's just Go there and eat."

Cheng Yutang shook his head, "Forget it, it's too much torment over there, I still have a meeting at 1:30. Why don't you just have a light meal in Hongsheng Restaurant?"

Han Qingshi looked at him without blinking, and smiled: "Okay, you are the landlord, you have the final say, you can eat anything with you."

"Okay, let's go." Cheng Yutang turned his head and walked out first.

…

During the period of learning to drive, Ji Xiaoyu didn't finish class at 12 noon every day, and it was almost one o'clock after returning to Hongsheng, so he never met Cheng Yutang in the restaurant. Since he had to pay back the money today, he specifically dismissed class 40 minutes early and arrived at the restaurant just in time for 12 o'clock.

He waited in the aisle of the restaurant for two minutes, and saw Cheng and Tang step forward. He couldn't help but was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him, "Cheng, you are here, I paid my salary yesterday, and I can pay it back today. Your money will invite you to dinner by the way!" As long as you don’t order expensive dishes...

He made this decision with great difficulty. It costs money to entertain guests. Of course, he hurts. But Cheng Yutang borrowed money from him first and asked him to learn the car. He didn't say that he couldn't justify it.

He prepared a budget of two hundred yuan for this meal. The last time Cheng Yutang ordered a set A in the western food area was 180, this time he can order another one. He doesn’t want steak himself, so he orders the cheapest one. Ten bucks of fries will do.

After eating here, if there is still food in the cafeteria, he will go there for another meal. If it's gone, then he will endure it and make it up at night...

Cheng Yutang looked at him pretending to be generous and not knowing what little abacus, his eyes condensed instantly, and his previously unhappy heart seemed to be stirred twice by an invisible little paw, causing high and low waves. .

I haven't seen each other for almost 20 days, so the busy days are over. What he thought he didn't care about, it doesn't seem to be the case now.

"Huh, Yutang, this is...?"

Han Qingshi, who was a few steps behind, stepped forward, glanced at Ji Xiaoyu casually, and then cast his gaze back at Cheng Yutang.

And Tang? It was the first time that Ji Xiaoyu heard someone call Cheng Yutang this way, with a distinctly different intimacy from others, she couldn't help but open her eyes to look at this strange man.

He looks about the same age as Cheng Yutang. He is a few centimeters shorter than himself, about 175. His appearance is a bit feminine and neutral, with a two-pointed bookish air in his beauty, but at the same time, there is a sense of disharmony. shrewd.

Ji Xiaoyu’s first instinct was that he didn’t like this man—especially the way he looked at Cheng Yutang, as if there was something unusual between him and Cheng Yutang, and that he was just an insignificant relationship. Passersby.

Cheng Yutang asked quietly: "He is Ji Xiaoyu, don't you know him?"

"I don't know, I saw it the first time. Why, is there any problem?" Han Qingshi asked with a smile.

He just asked casually just now. Since this guy named Ji Xiaoyu appeared in Hongsheng's restaurant, it must be an employee under Cheng Yutang's hands. And this kid is so young, he looks at most 20 years old. Although his face looks good, he has a sense of innocence. He wears some cheap and cheap goods, and his sleeves are even stained with oil stains. , Will certainly not be an important person in Hongsheng, so there is no need to pay more attention to it.

No, when did the name seem to have been heard, but he can't remember it now.

Cheng Yutang said, "No problem."

"Then what shall we eat?" Han Qingshi looked around, "Yutang, how about Japanese cuisine?"

"Can."

It turned out that Cheng Yutang was eating with this man...Ji Xiaoyu suddenly felt dull and didn't want to say anything, so she turned around and left.

"Wait, let's eat together."

Ji Xiaoyu looked down at her wrist held by a big hand, and then at Cheng Yutang's unclear face. She felt annoyed and broke her hand away with a bit of force. His words were hard and polite: "I didn't say that I would invite two people to dinner."

Cheng Yutang didn't seem to care about his resistance to the offense, and the corners of his lips seemed to rise a very small arc, "It's okay, I'll invite me for this meal, and you can invite me alone another day, how about?"

Ji Xiaoyu was upset in her heart and wanted to say nothing, but when she refused, she seemed to be very petty. Besides, Mr. Cheng treats guests without eating for nothing, so he raised his head and said: "Okay."

When Cheng Yutang asked Han Qing again: "I want to add someone to dinner together, don't you mind?"

Of course Han Qingshi minded. He didn't understand why Cheng Yutang would accommodate this unruly and unruly kid, but still had an appropriate smile on his face, and agreed, "Of course I don't mind. It's also lively when multiple people eat together."

Then this weird trio went to the Japanese food area together.

After sitting down, the waiter immediately served tea and took the menu and asked respectfully: "Ms. Cheng, what would you like to eat?"

Cheng Yutang said: "Ask these two people first."

Han Qingshi took the lead in taking the menu. After turning a few pages, he expertly reported the names of several dishes: "Here is a plate of Arctic shell sashimi, sweet shrimp sushi and salmon sushi. All of these are what you loved to eat back then, I remember correctly, right?"

Cheng Yutang nodded slightly, "Yes."

Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help sneering in his heart, haha, it turned out to be a good old friend, no wonder.

When Han Qing finished his order, Ji Xiaoyu was dazzled by the colorful menu. His concept of Japanese cuisine is limited to common people's snacks such as seaweed rice and octopus balls. Most of the rest have not been eaten, and he doesn't know how to order them.

Don't care about it, you won't be able to click on Jiebao, anyway, you can't show your cowardice in front of Han!

So Ji Xiaoyu pointed at the menu as if pointing to a country, and ordered a dozen varieties in one breath. Who told me that the portion of each dish in the picture was so small that it was not enough for him to stuff his teeth. Since Mr. Cheng was a treat, he would be welcome.

Han Qingshi heard the corners of his mouth twitching. This kid got out of a ravine. He looked like he hadn't seen the world before. There was a lot of mess, and he was not afraid of holding himself to death.

After ordering the food, Ji Xiaoyu pretended to be polite, "Cheng, what do you think?"

"That's it." Cheng Yutang said "it's okay" to the waiter, and the waiter immediately went to the kitchen to place the order.

Han Qingshi decided to ignore this obtrusive kid, and after a sip of tea, he said with emotion: "Yutang, it has been 15 years since we graduated from middle school. It's really like'the dead are like a spouse, don't give up day and night'."

Cheng Yutang's brows were slightly softened by two points, "It's really fast."

Ji Xiaoyu didn't know what a husband was, but she felt a little bit sour in her heart. This man and Cheng Yutang had known each other so early. What was he doing 15 years ago? It seems to be running across the mountains with little haws bare buttocks...

Han Qingshi continued: "Yutang, you may not know if you are not in the class group. A few days ago, the old monitor said in the class group that he was going to hold the 15th Anniversary Reunion, the location is in Ning City, and he called on all the students to participate. Because Everyone is embarrassed to bother you. As long as I am closer to you, I beg you to ask you. You were abroad on the 5th anniversary and couldn’t be contacted. On the 10th anniversary, I just took over the business of Hongsheng. I can’t go away, so you didn’t go to the two classmate meetings. This time you should show your face and participate in it? Otherwise, I can’t tell everyone."

Cheng Yutang was noncommittal and asked, "When will the classmates meet?"

When Han Qingshi heard a play, he smiled and said, "It's New Year's Eve on the night of December 31. Everyone means that if you have family members, you can bring your family members. If you don't have family members, you can find a way to bring a company. Comfortable. I’m still alone. I heard that you are also a single nobleman. Why don’t we just make up the right thing just like we did in badminton doubles before?"

Cheng Yutang pondered for a moment and then said, "Okay, I will try my best to take the time to participate. I may bring someone with me."

"Really?" A look of disappointment flashed in Han Qingshi's eyes, and he quickly joked casually: "No, when did you have a situation? Which famous lady, do I know?"

Cheng Yutang said calmly: "Not necessarily, if you go, you will know."

Han Qingshi had to give up, "Well, I will wait and see."

The two old classmates talked to themselves, treating the third person on the table as air. Don't mention Ji Xiaoyu's awkwardness and uncomfortableness, and he kept regretting that he had just agreed to eat this meal.

Fortunately, when the waiter came over to serve the food, the two stopped talking, otherwise he was really afraid that he could not bear to lift the table.

A large table of various exquisite dishes was quickly set up. The waiter also served two bottles of sake. The bottles were beautiful and the wine smelled very good. Ji Xiaoyu was a bit greedy, and was about to pour himself a glass, but the bottle was Cheng Yutang took it away, "You are too poor to drink."

Han Shiqing frowned, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

Ji Xiaoyu is angry, what's the matter, I'm afraid that he will be drunk and go crazy and offend the old friend surnamed Han, okay?

Hmph, if you don't drink, you don't drink, he is not rare!

Ji Xiaoyu turned his anger into appetite, let go of his belly and started eating.

By the end of the table, most of the dishes had been wiped out by him. It was estimated that the food in his stomach was worth four hundred yuan, and I felt a little more at ease.

Cheng Yutang looked at his watch and said, "Sorry, time is almost up, I have to go to prepare for the meeting."

Han Qingshi Congshanru said: "Then you are busy, and you can contact me when you are free. Anyway, I have moved to Ning City, and it will be easy to meet in the future."

"That's all right, is your car in the underground parking lot? I'll take you down."

Han Qingshi didn't expect this treatment, so he couldn't help but said with joy: "Okay, thank you!"

Ji Xiaoyu was about to go to the parking lot, but had no choice but to follow and walk for a while.

When the elevator reached the parking lot A zone, Ji Xiaoyu went out first, and accidentally met Daxing above. When the other party saw him, he habitually issued orders: "It came just right. There was a car leaking oil just now. It was at No. 244 in zone D. There is a big flood in the parking lot. Go and fetch water to wash the ground."

Han Shiqing heard clearly from behind, and couldn't help but feel relieved. It turned out that this kid was working in the parking lot. He was really nervous just now.
