Rebirth of the Uncrowned King

"Director, that's how it happened. On the one hand, I couldn't bear it, and on the other hand, I was also a little impulsive. I promise, it won't happen next time."

The head should be lowered, the neck should be retracted, the back should be slightly bent, and the eyes should be timid. I skillfully put on a low eyebrow and said a lot of good things to the director.

The director's face finally calmed down: "Xiaoye, you have always been a comrade with a strong sense of justice and a great journalistic ideal. You are a rare talent in our newspaper office. But in this matter, you should not only consider the peddler, We also need to consider our newspaper office. We are under competitive pressure with the Zaobao, and I have the editor-in-chief and the boss above me. If you let the editor-in-chief and the boss know about this matter, what will they think, and it will be very detrimental to your own future development. Yes."

The director was spitting, I nodded from time to time, looked at the director respectfully, and served him a cup from time to time.Seeing him drink up a full glass of water, he finally coughed twice and said, "That's it, you should reflect on yourself, and I won't let you write a review, so pay attention in the future."

"Yes, I will definitely reflect on it." I nodded my head a lot to express my attitude.Sure enough, the director showed a chrysanthemum-like smile on his face, patted me on the shoulder, and walked out of the meeting room with a cup.

And I, being the last one to leave, had to stay on and clean up the conference room.

After lunch, I ran across the news about a small street vendor illegally occupying the road, returned to the office to submit the manuscript, registered a new email address, and sent a virus-infected email to the colleague who betrayed me, and it was a little relieved. gas.

As soon as it was time to get off work, I would leave the office on time.I'm in a bad mood today, it's better to go back and rest early.

As soon as I walked out of the newspaper office, I saw a familiar figure waving at me. "Xiao Ping?" I ran over, "Why are you here? Aren't you driving today?"

"Well, rest today." He picked up a big paper bag at his feet and handed it to me: "My relatives sent the red bayberries from their hometown, which are big and sweet, and there are two bottles of self-brewed red bayberry wine for you and Wang Jiawen. "

I was carrying a heavy bag of things in my hand, and I couldn't help but look inside. It really was a big crimson plump bayberry, and it exuded the unique aroma of bayberry, which really made people salivate.

"Eat the red bayberry as soon as possible. It is easy to spoil if left alone. Also, remember to wash it with salt water, otherwise the worms will not come out." Xiao Ping took care of me.

I was a little embarrassed to take something from someone else, so I took him to my house for dinner.Anyway, Wang Jiawen also has a share in these good things, so it's reasonable to eat a meal from him.

It's a pity, I never figured it out, Wang Jiawen was not at home, and left a note on the table, saying that he went to the party held tonight at the fitness club.

"I just said no, don't be so polite." Xiao Ping stroked the back of his head: "I'd better go home and eat."

I hurriedly stopped him: "You are here now, since Wang Jiawen is not here, let's go out to eat, there are a few good small restaurants here."

"No," Xiao Ping waved his hand: "We don't need to be courteous, why spend that money, and you can't say that these shops use waste oil. How about this? Let's see what materials are at home, and I'll cook. gone."

While talking, Xiao Ping walked towards the kitchen.I was stunned for a while before I followed, and saw that he had found several ingredients, including cucumbers, Chinese cabbage, bacon and frozen shrimp.Holding these things, he turned to me and asked, "Xiao Ye, I made these, do you mind?"

Of course I don't mind, I'm too happy for someone to cook for me!I walked over, found a kitchen knife and a chopping board, and said to him: "Brother Xiao, you are too polite, just tell me what you want to use, and I will obey you, so I will stay at home."

10 minutes later, I'm sitting in the living room watching TV with a bag of chips.

Facts have proved that no matter whether it is Wang Jiawen or Xiao Ping, my hands-on ability will not improve in the slightest.Wang Jiawen said that if I do not enter the kitchen, I am responsible for the safety of my own life and the lives of others. Although I read this, I have to admit it.

When I was with Ren Min in college, I also tried to cook, trying to surprise him, but never succeeded.I cut my hand and scalded my arm, my forehead was splashed with oil spray, and there were big blisters... The funny thing is that at that time, I endured the pain and did not forget to clean up the kitchen as it was, saving food and money to squeeze out Money to buy the exact same pot, I don't want Ren Min to notice anything.Even the failed products, I can bear the strange taste and eat them, and I seriously believe that if I eat them all, the Kitchen God will be moved, and maybe I will be able to cook a good dish next time.

As I was thinking wildly, I could smell the aroma coming from the kitchen.Although my hands are clumsy, my nose is very clever.Let me guess, a stir-fried shrimp, a steamed egg with bacon, and a hint of spicy... shredded cabbage!

Xiao Ping's movements were as nimble as Wang Jiawen's. After a while, four dishes and one soup were served.In addition to the three dishes I guessed just now, there is also a mixed cucumber and a seaweed egg drop soup.With the freshly stewed rice, I took a bite of the shrimp, heh, it was tender and elastic, and the craftsmanship was as good as Wang Jiawen's!

As I ate my food, I sighed silently, why are the men around me so skilled? Isn’t this forcing me to be a rice worm?

After eating a bowl of rice, my stomach was not so empty, so I added another half bowl of rice, and chatted with Xiao Ping.

"How's business going?" I asked Xiao Ping.

"Hey, it's been like this all along. No matter how much you earn, you don't have much left after paying the company." Xiao Ping shook his head and said.

"Didn't it be said recently that the rental industry is going to raise prices again, is it true?"

"It's probably true," Xiao Ping sighed. "Actually, we don't want to increase the price. After the price is increased, we will pay more money to the company, but the monthly income may not be much more. The young people think that It’s expensive, so I’ll take the subway instead.”

I picked up food for him: "It's hard to do business in all walks of life now."

"No, if it's just these things, it's fine. There are also some passengers who are terribly bad. I have been driving for so many years, and I have met a few. When I got in the car, I told you very politely, where are you going, master, I went around to Lujiazui to let me see the scenery, but when I got back, I called you and complained, saying that you deliberately took a long way to cut off his money. , lose half a day."

"Then what should I do?" I've heard so much about taxi drivers beating passengers from other places, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing.

"Hehe, later I learned how to behave. Anyone who proposed to take a detour, asked them to sign on the back of the invoice, saying that they offered to take a long detour to see the scenery, or they would not be allowed to take the invoice. Later, I I have never been complained about again." Xiao Ping blushed a little: "I am not like you scholars, I have a quick brain, so I can only come up with this method."

"This method is very good, I still can't think of it!" I praised immediately.Xiao Ping smiled at me, then lowered his head to pick up the rice.

When Wang Jiawen came back, Xiao Ping still hadn't left. I chatted with him while watching TV, and I couldn't remember what we talked about, but when I lay in bed at night and thought about it, I just felt very happy.It's like chatting with an old friend you haven't seen for many years. You don't have to be restrained at all. You don't have to deliberately think about how to word it. Say what you think of, and don't say anything you don't think of, but you won't be cold.

From the day when I was followed by Ren Min in my last life, to the time when I found myself back two years ago, and then to the nervousness, panic and slow adaptation afterwards, how long has it been since I chatted so easily with anyone other than Wang Jiawen? What?

The sweet scent of bayberry in my mouth dispelled the gloom caused by the incident in the morning. I closed my eyes and raised the corners of my mouth. It seemed that tonight would be a good dream.
