The programmer and his woman

"Director Tian, ​​President Zhou has specially arranged for Manager Liang to invite you to have dinner with us today as a token of gratitude and respect. Please be sure to honor us this time and don't refuse." Manager Cai smiled, his tone revealing sincerity and enthusiasm.

Manager Liang then added: "Yes, Director Tian, ​​you know what? This invitation may be just a simple dinner for you, but for me, if you don't go, I really won't be able to report back to Mr. Zhou. He has high expectations, and I hope to complete this task."

After hearing this, Director Tian smiled a little embarrassedly and replied, "Oh, Manager Liang, Manager Cai, you two are so polite. It is my duty to assist you in your work, so there is really no need to be so grand. However, I am also honored to see your enthusiasm."

The two managers smiled at each other, knowing that although Director Tian said so, he was actually looking forward to the dinner. So, Manager Cai said, "Director Tian, ​​please don't refuse anymore." After saying this, Manager Cai rushed forward, opened the car door, made a gesture of invitation, and let Director Tian get in the car.

He noticed that Lei Zi and I were still standing there, with a puzzled look on his face, and urged with a smile: "Xiao Wang, Lei Zi, the two of you don't just stand there, hurry up and get in the car and go together." He smiled mysteriously, and then lowered his voice and continued: "This meal is not just as simple as eating. Manager Liang said that there will be special entertainment activities waiting for us after the meal. Let Manager Liang arrange it for you two later."

Under the night sky, the neon lights of the city flickered, and a black business car slowly drove out. In the driver's seat, Manager Liang held the steering wheel with his eyes flashing with anticipation. His voice echoed in the car, full of longing for the upcoming dinner.

"Director Tian, ​​I specially arranged this dinner for you tonight." Manager Liang's tone revealed an unquestionable confidence, "I know a place where the food is absolutely amazing and the environment is also very elegant. After dinner, let's experience the special service there and enjoy it."

Manager Cai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately perked up when he heard this. He turned around and gave Manager Liang a thumbs up: "Manager Liang, you are really thoughtful."

Director Tian, ​​who was sitting in the back row, seemed a little hesitant. He frowned and said softly, "Manager Liang, I appreciate your kindness. However, the following activities..."

Manager Liang interrupted Director Tian with a smile before he finished speaking: "Director Tian, ​​don't worry, we must eat the meal, but as for the subsequent activities, we can just keep my sister-in-law from knowing. I promise you will have a great time tonight."

The car shuttled through the night and soon arrived at the destination. Manager Liang led everyone into a luxuriously decorated restaurant, and a faint fragrance greeted them, which made people's appetite increase.

After everyone sat down, the waiters began to serve the dishes. Dishes with good appearance, aroma and taste were served on the table, dazzling the eyes. Manager Liang looked at the satisfied expressions of the people and felt secretly proud.

Manager Liang looked at the table filled with delicious food, smiled and said to everyone: "Don't worry, there is one last dish, but it will take some time to prepare carefully. You can eat while waiting. Come on, pick up your chopsticks!" After he finished speaking, everyone stood up and raised their glasses to toast Director Tian who was sitting in the main seat to show their respect.

While everyone was chatting and laughing and enjoying the food, Manager Liang suddenly clapped his hands a few times. At the signal, a waiter in a white uniform slowly came over with a small and exquisite dining cart. What was striking was that the cart was covered with a layer of bright red silk cloth, giving people a sense of mystery, as if there was some special surprise hidden underneath. Everyone's eyes were attracted to it, and they were eager to know how delicious this last dish was.

"Everyone, next is the finale of the evening." Manager Liang smiled, but his voice could hardly conceal the excitement and anticipation in it, as if what was about to be unveiled was a rare treasure. "This dish is extraordinary! I can guarantee that it will definitely satisfy your appetite and leave you with an endless aftertaste."

As soon as he finished speaking, a waiter in a neat uniform came forward and carefully lifted the gorgeous silk cloth covering the cart. As the silk cloth was slowly lifted, everyone's eyes were focused on the cart.

However, what they saw made everyone present stunned - inside the small metal cage, there was a trembling monkey. The monkey's head had been firmly fixed by the metal ring, with only the upper half of its head exposed on the table.

Faced with such a strange scene, people showed astonishment on their faces. Director Tian even widened his eyes and stared at the strange object pushed in front of him in disbelief. Even his voice began to tremble slightly: "What kind of dish is this?"

"Oh, Director Tian, ​​this is the most famous signature dish here - eating monkey brains alive!" Manager Liang said softly to Director Tian with a smug smile on his face, "Look, this monkey is still alive! It's killed and cooked right after, so it's guaranteed to be very fresh. Moreover, this method can preserve the nutrients and delicious taste of the monkey brain to the greatest extent. Most people can't even eat it if they want to. Tonight we can have a good taste of this delicacy!"

As Manager Liang finished speaking, the chef began to prepare the dish. He first used a hammer to crack open the monkey's skull, and the moment he opened it, a white and red scene came into view, which was shocking. However, the chef poured boiling hot oil into it. The monkey's screams echoed in the restaurant, which made people feel palpitations.

Director Tian looked at the scene in front of him and turned pale. He waved his hands and said, "No, no, I can't enjoy this."

"Oh, it's okay, Director Tian. This dish is not available everywhere. As far as I know, it's only available here. Come, let's taste it. It tastes quite good." Manager Liang picked up the condiment dish and scooped a spoonful first and then handed it to Director Tian. "Director, please taste it and see if it tastes delicious?"

Seeing that Director Tian was still hesitating, Manager Liang added: "Director Tian, ​​this is a good thing. I guarantee you will like it. This thing is hard to find. If you miss it, it will not be easy to eat it again."

Director Tian was seen looking at the dish with chopsticks in his hand, hesitating for a long time, but in the end he did not taste it. Instead, he handed it to Manager Liang and said, "Manager Liang, no, I still don't dare to eat this."

Manager Liang smiled when he saw this, and stopped forcing us. He then looked at us, and we waved our hands to say no. He raised the corners of his mouth, as if he had expected this, and turned to look at Manager Cai, and said, "Old Cai, it looks like this dish is cheaper for the two of us."

Manager Cai took the plate from Manager Liang and said, "Yes, yes, I have heard of this dish a long time ago. Thanks to Director Tian, ​​I am lucky enough to taste this delicacy today."

After a sumptuous dinner, Lei Zi and I sat quietly at the table, whispering to each other in low voices. We were full of curiosity and anticipation, constantly speculating on what kind of activities would happen next.

Manager Liang, with a mysterious smile, led us up the stairs and came to a door. When we opened the door, we saw a KTV room decorated in a magnificent and beautiful style.

The room is lit by flashing lights and colorful neon lights, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Luxurious sofas surround the room, and a huge screen occupies an entire wall, as if the whole world is in front of you. The sound equipment is first-class, with clear and transparent sound quality that is shocking.

Manager Liang turned to us and said, "Manager Cai and I are going to accompany Director Tian to another room. You two kids can play in this room." He paused and asked worriedly, "Can you two do it?" Manager Liang stood at the door with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Lei Zi and I looked at each other, our eyes full of confusion and curiosity. KTV rooms? Isn't it just a place for singing? What's wrong with this? We nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Manager Liang smiled with satisfaction, turned around and left. We also walked in. I walked to the song machine and turned back to ask Lei Zi: "What song do you want to sing? I'll order it for you."

Lei Zi looked at the scene in front of him with a complicated expression on his face. "Oh, why is it different from what I thought? I thought we were going to have some activities with Teacher Cang." He said half-jokingly.

"You, aren't you getting married soon? Don't think about it. Tell me quickly, what song do you want to sing?" I responded with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, a girl wearing revealing clothes and bright makeup pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Lei Zi holding the microphone and immediately judged that Lei Zi should be the protagonist here, so she walked up quickly and stuck close to him. "Handsome boy, let me sing with you." The girl's voice was charming and coquettish.

Lei Zi was frightened by this sudden intimate action and trembled all over, as if he had been electrocuted, and the microphone in his hand almost fell to the ground. He turned his head suddenly, stared at me with an almost pleading look, and said with trembling lips: "Wang... Teacher Wang, what... what should I do?"

Seeing Lei Zi's terrified and helpless look, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hey! You just kept complaining about why there was no teacher Cang to accompany you? Now that the teacher Cang you've been thinking about is here, why are you so nervous?" I teased him half-jokingly.

However, the girl seemed to be completely unaware of Lei Zi's nervousness and continued to move closer to him. She gently placed her delicate hands on Lei Zi's waist and asked softly, "Handsome boy, how about we sing a song together, "I Love You", what do you think?" After that, she had a charming smile on her face, and her eyes revealed a hint of expectation and temptation.

However, at this moment, Lei Zi suddenly dropped the microphone, broke free from the girl, opened the door and ran out. After witnessing this scene, the girl showed a look of astonishment on her face, and her eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement. She hesitated for a moment, then looked at me, as if looking for a reasonable explanation.

I saw Lei Zi ran out, and I was the only one left in the room with the girl. I realized that the situation was not good, and I didn't care about anything else, so I ran out quickly. At the moment of closing the door, I saw the girl stamping her feet in the room and shouting angrily: "Hey you guys!" I knew that the girl must be very angry because her guests ran away, but I was no longer in the mood to pay attention to her.

I hurried out of the room and saw Lei Zi standing upright in the long and dark corridor. He was slightly hunched over, with his hands on his knees, breathing heavily, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle. "Hey, Lei Zi, wait for me!" I shouted out of breath, and my voice echoed in the empty corridor with a little anxiety and confusion, "Why did you run out?" Hearing my shout, Lei Zi slowly turned around. The tension on his face had not yet faded, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He asked back, "Didn't you run out too?"

Then he paused and continued, "Teacher Wang, I'm really getting married, and I want to save my most precious first time for my future wife." His tone was firm and serious.

Looking at his sincere face, I couldn't help laughing. We sat on the sofa in the corridor and waited for those people to finish.

After a while, we saw Manager Cai walking towards us leisurely, taking out a cigarette and lighting it. He was stunned when he saw us sitting here, then he laughed: "Hey? Why are you two sitting here? Didn't you go to sing?"

I quickly explained, "We thought the activity you were talking about was singing! Who knew... there were other arrangements." I deliberately made my words vague to avoid directly mentioning the embarrassing topic.

"Oh? Any other arrangements?" Manager Cai asked curiously.

"Oh, that's it..." I was a little embarrassed to say it, so I said vaguely: "Lei Zi and I are getting married soon, and I want to save my virginity for my wife."

Manager Cai couldn't help laughing when he heard me say that. "What are you thinking? It's just to find a beautiful girl to sing and drink with you. At most, you can just take advantage of her. It won't really do anything."

After hearing what he said, Lei Zi and I both breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that we were overthinking it! But I didn't want to go back. That girl must hate us to death. I looked at Lei Zi and asked, "Lei Zi, do you still want to sing?"

Lei Zi shook his head helplessly, as if he had no interest in singing. Seeing this, I turned to look at Manager Cai and whispered, "Manager Cai, why don't you say hello to Manager Liang and go back first?"

Manager Cai glanced at the two of us, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "Okay, in that case, you can go back first."
