He made an appointment with Zhou Ting to have dinner at a grilled fish restaurant. Lu Xiaoxian never liked making people wait, so he rushed over after work.And the business of the grilled fish shop is always very good. If you go late, you have to wait for a seat.

Lu Xiaoxian asked for a seat by the window, drinking barley tea and waiting slowly.

Fortunately, Zhou Ting is not a person who likes to be late, she arrived in a while, and raised her hand to greet her. After Gu Nianbin disappeared, Zhou Ting asked her out for dinner every other week or so.Lu Xiaoxian knew that Zhou Ting was afraid that she would be too bored. Although all relatives were by her side, but the closest one was missing, no one could empathize with the feeling of emptiness in her heart, only Zhou Ting understood her.

But Zhou Ting never mentioned Gu Nianbin, nor did she comfort her. She chatted like a good friend, talking about her flower shop, her employees, what nice clothes she bought recently, When he finds out that there is something delicious to eat, sometimes he will talk about Shen Li, complaining that he is hardworking, and that he has never been serious to her. At this time, Du Xiaoxian will turn to comfort her.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't talk much in front of others, but when he was with Zhou Ting, he chatted very vigorously, and the time passed quickly before he knew it.Halfway through the meal, both of them were gasping for breath and poured down their drinks.

Zhou Ting said with a smile: "I'm old after all, I can't stand spicy food." Although she was laughing, she looked a little sad, she was indeed old, she was an old girl in her 30s, and she was still alone.

Lu Xiaoxian persuaded her: "Sister Zhou, I think Shen Li is pretty good, why don't you be nice to him?"

"Didn't you say that?" Zhou Ting put a piece of fish into her mouth, gasped and said, "He didn't pass me by at all."

"He proposed to you, but you didn't agree!"

"I agree, I'm afraid I'll regret it," Zhou Ting took a sip of the orange juice and said, "I'm also afraid that he will regret it."

"Actually, it's because you don't have confidence in yourself," Lu Xiaoxian analyzed to her: "A lot of things, just thinking, if you don't do it, you will never know what the end result will be? It's like when I first started studying, I felt that my foundation Weak, worried about not learning well, but sticking to it step by step, isn't it good now?"

Zhou Ting smiled and said, "Xiaoxian, you really surprised me. I believe you will become an excellent CEO."

Lu Xiaoxian shook his head humbly: "I don't want to be an outstanding CEO, I just want to keep the Gu family and wait for Nian Bin to return."

They rarely talked about this aspect, Zhou Ting felt relieved, everyone knew that Gu Nianbin would not come back, only this silly girl was still obsessed, but she didn't want to pour cold water on Lu Xiaoxian, she just smiled and said nothing .

Suddenly there was a flash of light, and someone greeted Lu Xiaoxian: "Mrs. Gu, what a coincidence."

Lu Xiaoxian looked up, but it was Cheng Ruizhang, she was surprised: "Are you here to eat too?"

Cheng Ruizhang nodded: "I heard that the taste here is good, so come and have a taste."

Seeing him alone, Lu Xiaoxian asked, "Where's Secretary Meng? I'm not with you."

"I'm alone. She doesn't seem to like spicy food, so I didn't call her."

Zhou Ting interjected at this moment: "Since you are alone, then eat with us."

Cheng Ruizhang smiled slightly: "Okay." Then he stretched out his hand: "I am Cheng Ruizhang."

"Zhou Ting." Zhou Ting announced her family name, shook hands with him lightly and then let go, "Is Mr. Cheng Xiaoxian's friend?"

"To be precise, it should be a subordinate. I am Mrs. Gu's general manager."

"Oh! It's Mr. Cheng, sorry for your disrespect!" Zhou Ting smiled like a flower, and hurriedly arranged bowls and chopsticks for Cheng Ruizhang.

Lu Xiaoxian looked at the two of them happily, they were both generous people, they knew each other without her introduction at all.

Both Zhou Ting and Cheng Ruizhang became friends with the Gu family, so they chatted about some things in the Gu family and quickly became acquainted.

Lu Xiaoxian occasionally interjected a few words, but most of them were the audience.

Zhou Ting beamed with joy, talking about the former general manager Shao Baiqing, he was full of tongues, and there were endless interesting stories.In the end, she concluded with emotion: "The general manager of the Gu family is a feng shui throne. Mr. Shao married the chief secretary Nina home, and Mr. Cheng fell in love with the chief secretary, Ms. Meng. If I persisted at the beginning, I might not be able to get it." Miss Meng."

Cheng Ruizhang laughed loudly, "Miss Zhou is really interesting."

Lu Xiaoxian saw Cheng Ruizhang eating grilled fish like a normal person, and said, "Boss Cheng, so you know how to eat spicy food."

"You can't see it," Cheng Ruizhang said with a smile: "There are even more things that can't be seen. When I first went abroad, I was so worried about the spicy taste. In fact, let alone spicy, even those Chinese restaurants Everything tasted bad, so I forced myself to become a chef, next time I cook it for you, the taste will definitely not be worse than this."

"Really!" Zhou Ting's eyes straightened, "Mr. Cheng, I didn't praise you. If you hadn't already become famous, the girls would fight for you with your looks and the chef's skills." Yo!"

Lu Xiaoxian wanted to add points to Shen Li, saying: "Shen Li can also cook, and the red wine steak he cooks is also quite delicious."

Zhou Ting said disdainfully: "He learned how to pick up chicks on purpose. He lit two white candles on the dining table and had a romantic candlelight dinner.

"I think you have a prejudice against him."

However, Zhou Ting held on to Cheng Ruizhang's words just now: "Mr. Cheng, you can't just talk about cooking yourself!"

"No problem, you set the time, I will make spicy crayfish for you to eat."

When Zhou Ting heard it, her saliva was about to flow out, and she quickly set a time: "How is this weekend?"

Lu Xiaoxian said: "We can't do it on weekends, I have to accompany Niannian."

"Then tomorrow, tomorrow is fine."

Everyone has no objection, so tomorrow is set.

Zhou Ting has always been active in eating, so she went directly to Gu's the next afternoon to wait for Lu Xiaoxian to get off work.Lu Xiaoxian was a little uneasy, it seemed that Cheng Ruizhang didn't invite Mencius He, she didn't care about other people's gossip, but she couldn't ignore Mencius He's feelings.

Secretly told Zhou Ting, but Zhou Ting didn't take it seriously: "Maybe two people are playing with flower guns, what does it have to do with us? We just eat."

Lu Xiaoxian said: "If not, I'd better not go. It's not good for Secretary Meng to find out."

"Is there a mistake?" Zhou Ting raised her voice: "I only met him once, and I went to someone's house alone. Do you think I am such a casual person?"

"Don't yell," Lu Xiaoxian almost covered her mouth: "Be careful not to be heard."

While talking, Cheng Ruizhang walked in, greeted Zhou Ting with a smile, and said, "Can I go?"

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Meng Zihe poking his head at the door from the corner of his eye, and asked Cheng Ruizhang in a low voice, "Isn't your name Secretary Meng?"

Cheng Ruizhang said flatly: "She doesn't eat spicy food, let's go, there will be traffic jams on the way, it would be nice to have something to eat at 07:30."

When they went out, Mencius He hadn't left yet and was packing up his things. Du Xiaoxian greeted her with an unnatural expression, but Cheng Ruizhang said generously, "They came to my house to eat crayfish, and they wanted to ask you to come with me." , you don’t like spicy food, you ate something when you went there, next time, I’ll invite you to go if you cook something else next time.”

Without waiting for Mencius to react, he lifted his foot and walked forward.

Zhou Ting whispered to Lu Xiaoxian from behind: "The relationship between these two people is very strange, they don't look like boyfriend and girlfriend."

"It's okay," Lu Xiaoxian said, "They are dating."

"Really?" Zhou Ting looked back at Mencius He, and said, "It seems to me that the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless."

Lu Xiaoxian laughed, dragged her two quick steps, and caught up with the elevator.

Cheng Ruizhang's home is in an apartment building with a butler in the city center. It is luxurious and not big, but it is not too small to live alone.

After entering the door, Cheng Ruizhang said, "Go to the kitchen to watch the crayfish."

Zhou Ting ran into the kitchen and exclaimed: "God, you really prepared so much, when did you buy it?"

Lu Xiaoxian also ran over to look, there was a small half bucket of crayfish in a plastic bucket, densely packed, all of them were waving small pliers, baring their teeth and claws.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't do this before, so he asked: "How can we do this, we are all here to help."

Cheng Ruizhang said bluntly: "I didn't intend to let you eat for free. If you don't help, you will have to wait until nine o'clock at least."

Zhou Ting had done it before, and without waiting for Cheng Ruizhang to assign tasks, she rolled up her sleeves and started working in full swing. She cut off the shrimp heads with small scissors, leaving only shrimp balls, and threw them on the plate bright red one by one. Lu Xiaoxian Responsible for cleaning the shrimp intestines, Chef Cheng Ruizhang prepared the side dishes and came over to help.

Zhou Ting saw that he was proficient in his techniques, whether it was cutting shrimp heads or pumping shrimp intestines, he was fast and good, and she sincerely praised him: "Mr. Cheng, those who didn't know thought that you used to do this, and you are more professional than professional." .”

Cheng Ruizhang laughed and said, "You guessed it right, I really did this before."

"Really!" Zhou Ting and Lu Xiaoxian were both surprised.

"I did it during my part-time work-study program. In fact, I have done a lot of jobs!" Cheng Ruizhang said quite proudly.

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at him, Cheng Ruizhang always gave her the feeling of being gentle and refined, as if he came from a good family background, the last time I saw his mother, she had a good temperament, she didn't look like someone who wanted to work and study!
Zhou Ting asked him: "Mr. Cheng, what else have you done?"

"The first job was a tutor, and later I took on a part-time job delivering newspapers, handing out leaflets, doing odd jobs in restaurants, selling beer, doing small construction work, acting as a driver, renting out assistant shifts, pruning flowers and trees, dredging sewers... Anyway, what do you do? At most, I worked six jobs at the same time. Awesome!"

Zhou Ting and Lu Xiaoxian looked shocked and couldn't believe it.

Lu Xiaoxian always thought that no one would have a harder life than her when she was a child, but Cheng Ruizhang...

She is the simplest, what is in her heart, what is shown on her face, Cheng Ruizhang laughed and waved in front of her: "Don't do this, you can be the best when you suffer, I am now better than my The students are doing well!"

Lu Xiaoxian has known him for a long time, and they are considered close friends, but today she has a new look at him. She has always been grateful to him, because he taught her a lot, and now she has more admiration!
Cheng Ruizhang has a good appearance as a chef, he is familiar with adding oil, stir-frying, hot pepper and hot oil, the kitchen immediately filled with a spicy smell, even though the high-powered range hood was on, it still made Lu Xiaoxian choke few times.

Cheng Ruizhang drove them out with a spatula, Lu Xiaoxian took two steps, and suddenly looked back, the man in the white shirt was standing in the kitchen, waving a spatula to stir fry, occasionally picking up a shrimp to taste... …

She watched quietly, but what she saw was the figure of another man, wearing the same white shirt, with the same skillful movements, and the same calm expression. Looking at it, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
