Liuxiang

Following the words just now, the middle-aged man approached Yi Baitang.

It was only when the two got closer that Yi Baitang could clearly see each other's appearance.

I saw the person standing in front of me wearing a dark gray suit, with a pair of sapphire cuff buttons, a pure gold collar clip with diamonds, and under the diamonds, there were dots of ties of the same color. A straight neckline and a similar yet unfamiliar face.

Yi Baitang stared at the opposite face for a while, and then he asked plainly, "You are my father, right? Good afternoon."

The middle-aged man wanted to say something when he came up, but before he could say anything, he was choked back into his stomach by this very plain and very unflattering sentence.

The corner of his mouth twitched: "How did you talk?"

Yi Baitang: Huh?

He was puzzled for a moment, and then asked directly: "Could it be that you are not? I am sorry for admitting the wrong person."

Middle-aged man: "..."

He gritted his teeth: "I am."

Yi Baitang: "Oh."

Then there was no more, Yi Baitang waited for the other party to speak.

Father Yi felt dissatisfied, and snorted coldly: "You—" He originally wanted to think of a name, but when the name really came to his lips, he suddenly remembered something, suddenly paused, and said instead, "The—— Is that how the man taught you to talk to your father?"

Then, without waiting for Yi Baitang to retort, he quickly changed the subject: "What are you doing now?"

Yi Baitang didn't want to discuss the Great Demon King with this strange guy in front of him, so he simply followed the other person's question: "Be a chef."

Yi's father raised his voice: "Being a chef? Are you so old and can't do anything?"

Yi Baitang lazily added: "I will continue to do nothing like this."

Father Yi: "..."

He saw that the people around him had turned their eyes here in twos and threes because of his loud voice just now, suppressed his anger, and asked again: "Do you have a girlfriend yet?"

Yi Baitang: "No."

Yi's father, who suppressed his anger just now, frowned again: "How old are you? Since you don't have a career to fight for, you should quickly find a woman to start a family and settle down."

What a boring conversation.

Yi Baitang's eyes drifted around, and landed on the rose and strawberry cup in his hand.

The bottom of the shallow goblet glass is a flowing rose-red liquid. Strawberries coated with a thin layer of syrup are soaked in the liquid. The strawberries are crowded together, and the leaves of one of them have not been picked. Next to the emerald green leaves, there is a pink rose with petals of pink cream.

Yi Baitang responded casually again: "No." He picked up the fork on the side, picked up a pink rose, put it in his mouth and hid a mouthful.

The milk taste is too heavy, the sweetness is scarce, and there is a slight taste of instant coffee.

This deployment method is really familiar——

Sure enough, it was the person he thought of.

Just as Yi Baitang put down his fork, he moved a row of rose and strawberry cups beside him, and arranged the dozen or so rose cups in the shape of a large rose, when he heard a voice in front of him: "No work and no work!" Girlfriend, what do you want to do?"

He finally adjusted his gaze to his father. After thinking for a moment, he replied sincerely: "I want to pursue my own meaning of life. And the meaning of my life is neither focused on making money nor casual breeding."

"puff."

There was more than one laugh from the side.

As early as when Yi's father questioned Yi Baitang one after another just now, the people around him intermittently focused their attention here, but everyone is an elite figure, and they must be relatively calm on the surface, although each ear is pricked up like a rabbit Yes, but I just listened to it secretly, not thinking about what I really wanted to say.

Until Yi Baitang finally said that sentence.

It's so fucking funny!

It is definitely the best golden phrase to face relatives and friends during the New Year and holidays!

Alas, it's a pity that the new year has just passed, and my face is not so cold. Saying this sentence, the lethality is not strong enough. It would be great if I looked like the young man opposite. I didn't see the question Is your face so angry that it turns into a liver color?

Yi's father was already in great embarrassment at this time.

He hadn't seen his eldest son for a long time, so he never thought that his eldest son had such a personality.

In other words, he never thought that the other party would dare to speak to him like this.

Isn't he afraid that he will no longer care about him and never send him money?

But whether he was afraid or not, the other party had already said what he had said, and his own face had already been thrown to the ground...

Yi's father remained silent for a long time, in a dilemma, not knowing how to save his face.

Just at this time, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone in the crowd waving at him.He hurriedly turned his head to look, at first he thought it was a friend in his business field, but when he took a closer look, he found that it was none of them, but one of the organizers of this large-scale exhibition, a very well-known young man in the business world. Shang Huaiyan.

Yi's father was flattered for a while, thinking that Shang Huaiyan was as comprehensive as the rumors outside, even if he greeted the distinguished guests outside, he also sent people to pay attention to the various situations that happened in the venue, he is worthy of being one of the heirs of a giant enterprise .

He quickly went down the steps, snorted coldly at Yi Baitang, gave him a look of "I will teach you later", and walked quickly towards Shang Huaiyan.

Yi Baitang: "..."

He shrugged, followed behind Yi's father, and walked slowly towards Shang Huaiyan's team.

On the red carpet, led by Shang Huaiyan and other persons in charge, a group of foreign guests walked in the middle of the red carpet, all the way to the banquet hall in the middle.

Shang Huaiyan was next to a blond foreigner, talking to him in English with a smile.

He waved at Yi Baitang just now, and from the corner of his eye he kept paying attention to Yi Baitang's direction, and saw that although the other party was walking slowly, he followed the team when he sent the rest of the people into the arena. Immediately relieved, he stretched out his arms, as if with a casual swing, he put Yi Baitang into his team.

Father Yi, who was standing here a few steps earlier: "..."

He glared at Yi Baitang: Cheating food and drinking!Then she glanced at Shang Huaiyan resentfully: You put the wrong person!

Shang Huaiyan was taken aback. He glanced at the middle-aged man beside him. He seemed to be the owner of a chain restaurant. He didn't know him well.But people who do business pay attention to being smart and making money. Although he doesn't know the other party, if the other party wants to follow him, he will let him follow. Anyway, it doesn't matter much.

The foreigner standing beside him spoke at this time, speaking in a very blunt Chinese language: "Mr. Shang, I heard that you have not only invited a three-star Michelin chef, but also the famous Huaiyang cuisine from your country. chef?"

Shang Huaiyan smiled and said: "It's like this, everything is ready, just waiting for you to take your seats."

The foreigner smiled slightly at Shang Huaiyan, then turned his head and said to his companion: "We eat a lot of Michelin three-star chefs abroad, but we haven't eaten really beautiful Chinese food. Maybe you can try something new this time." .”

His companion, who can't speak Chinese or English, responded in pure and authentic French, and corrected his companion: "No, I have eaten authentic ones. What I am more curious about is the combination of French and Chinese food. how is it like."

Yi Baitang heard it in his ears and thought in his heart:

I am still a glutton, although my soul is not enough for me to let go, it is almost enough.

A thought flashed, and the melodious piano sound suddenly came from the front, and everyone who was speaking looked up, and saw that the luxuriously furnished banquet hall had arrived.

Everyone was led to their seats by the waiter, and Shang Huaiyan took the time to talk to Yi Baitang: "Where do you want to sit? How about sitting with me?"

Yi's father was still standing beside Shang Huaiyan, and his eyes almost dropped when he heard this sentence: "Do you know each other?"

He suddenly realized that something was wrong.

In case, the other party didn't wave at me just now, but waved at her son...

Shang Huaiyan frowned.

He didn't care that the boss he didn't know followed, but he cared that the other party intervened in the conversation between himself and Yi Baitang.

He smiled perfunctorily and asked politely, "Are you—"

Yi Baitang answered, "My father."

This time Shang Huaiyan's tongue was almost bitten by himself!

What are you kidding? !

He hastened to look carefully at the appearance of the middle-aged man in front of him, and found a little trace of Yi Baitang in the subtleties, but because the temperament of the two people is too different, if Yi Baitang is a strange flower Gaoling Flower, then the person in front of him is a typical ordinary person, not at all like a guy who can give birth to a son like Yi Baitang, okay? !

But even though he couldn't help retorting in his heart, Shang Huaiyan's shoulders were still short quickly, and he quickly took Yi's father's hands, and said softly: "It turns out that you are here, why don't you notify me if you are coming?" ? I’m in a hurry to greet you.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Yi Baitang, and he really felt that the other party was cheating on him!Can you be so casual when you meet your parents for the first time?What if I leave a bad impression on my parents?

Yi Baitang discovered Shang Huaiyan's heart, and he said slowly: "Don't look at me, I didn't know that I would meet my father today, we haven't seen each other for 20 years."

Shang Huaiyan, who just slumped down and raised his shoulders, was very humble: "..."

Good 20 years no see.

He finally found out sadly that this was the real pit.

Yi's father finally opened his mouth: "That..."

He doesn't feel very good now, as if something unexpected is about to happen.

But before he finished speaking, Shang Huaiyan stood up again and interrupted him: "Baitang is my friend, uncle."

"Oh, Mr. Shang is too polite—" Father Yi subconsciously said politely.

"Thank you uncle for taking care of my friend 20 years ago." Shang Huaiyan said with a smile, and after speaking, he took Yi Baitang and turned to leave together.

"..." Father Yi.

This speed of turning faces and denying people...

He paused for a few seconds, and suddenly realized what Shang Huaiyan had said, and his face turned pale again.

The two who turned around didn't care about Yi's father behind him.

Shang Huaiyan arranged Yi Baitang in an unobtrusive and quiet place, and was about to sit down and chat with Yi Baitang, when his assistant Xiao Song hurried over from outside the banquet hall and came close to his ear. He said, "Mr. Shang, it's not good, there's something wrong in the kitchen!"

There was a big problem over there in the kitchen.

The Huaiyang cuisine chef hired by the Chinese party has not yet arrived at the scene, but the Michelin three-star chef who arrived early and has prepared the dishes to perfection, is also waiting left and right for no one to arrive At that moment, he threw off his chef's hat angrily, turned around and walked quickly out of the kitchen!
