In recent years, the climate in Malaysia has been hotter than usual. People here are used to turning on the air conditioner indoors, and then wearing long-sleeved jackets. It doesn’t seem like they are afraid of heat, but like the cool feeling.

There is only a wall between the inside and the outside, but the temperature on both sides is as different as autumn and summer. During the meeting, Jiang Keyi was so cold that his pores stood up, and when he went outside, the fat people would become greasy. This kind of weather seems to be so hot that even fat will melt like.

The inspection went smoothly. The original five-day itinerary was completed in three days. You Jianlin was completely unaffected by the hot weather, and he was in a good mood. Obviously, this project did not even have a horoscope, but he seemed to have seen Gold is everywhere waiting for him to pick it up.

"I rented a car from the hotel. I will take you to the durian garden tomorrow. You can enjoy the country style and eat the freshest and most delicious durians at the same time."

It is true that I saw gold on the ground, but it is the kind wrapped in sharp, hard and green fruit shells, and it is also one of the most unacceptable foods for You Xiaofan, the degree of rejection is similar to that of You Jianlin for homosexual as strong as the resistance.

On the second day, You Jianlin rarely dressed in casual clothes. He and Jiang Keyi boarded the Toyota rented by the hotel, and set the destination with Waze navigation. Not familiar, he still showed manly demeanor and insisted on driving by him.

The local traffic instructions are not very clear, the signs are a bit confusing, and the traffic jams on the road also took a lot of time.

You Jianlin couldn't understand Malay, and the original navigation showed that it would take two hours to drive, but it took four hours before they came to a very remote place surrounded by oil palm trees. After driving for a while, I saw some simple wooden houses and leisurely motorcyclists.

You Jianlin was embarrassed to say it, but Jiang Keyi could tell that they were lost, and went back to the navigation to reset the destination, but the phone kept circling and there was no signal.

They were driving at a slow speed, seeing You Jianlin's persistence, Jiang Keyi felt that it was better not to pour cold water on it, anyway, driving down the road is the highway, as soon as it gets dark, some people will naturally have the idea of ​​giving up.

The narrow path cannot allow two cars to walk at the same time, but this road is still two-way. You Jianlin focused on the cars and passers-by in front of him. He didn't notice a motorcycle suddenly came out from the side. He instinctively braked suddenly. But there was still a crash, and the rider in front of the car fell down.

After a considerable shock, the heads of the two went blank for a moment, then You Jianlin took off his seat belt, and said to Jiang Keyi before getting out of the car:

"I'll just go down and deal with it. You wait for me in the car."

Jiang Keyi had no choice but to sit in the car and wait.

A small accident attracted ants like a piece of candy. A lot of villagers suddenly appeared on a road that was sparsely populated. It seems that these people did not come here to watch the excitement. Jiang Keyi guessed that You Jianlin There is trouble.

These people are all dark-skinned and thin but muscular. As soon as the tall You Jianlin walked over, they also greeted him without fear, like a group of shark-toothed dragons preparing to challenge a tyrannosaur. At this time, the large size is not as good as the large number of people, and the more Jiang Keyi looked at it, the more he felt that it was not good.

You Jianlin spoke English and gesticulated. Jiang Keyi could feel the hostility from those people while sitting in the car. She had been observing in the car for a long time, and finally decided to get out of the car and walk towards those people.

"Kamirasamaafataskejiadianini..." (We are very sorry for this accident...)

When everyone saw a delicate foreign woman speak their words, they immediately found it very interesting, and at the same time, they felt a little more friendly, and all the hostility disappeared, and they even chatted with her.

Although these people were not as aggressive as before, You Jianlin couldn't understand the conversation between Jiang Keyi and them, the situation was still out of his control, his brain was still quite tense, and he didn't dare to relax at all.

Suddenly a man with messy eyebrows and protruding cheekbones came over and grabbed You Jianlin's arm. His sense of self-protection was activated immediately, and he pushed the man away. As a result, the man was angered. He picked up a stick at random. Iron rod, rushed towards him.

You Jianlin is just a businessman. Although he looks like a bear in stature and height, he has no animal instincts at all. Although he often exercises, he is not good at fighting, let alone the opponents of these villagers who live by hunting.

He dodged the opponent several times, but because of a distraction, the opponent injured his hand. At this time, other people also ran over to help, grabbed the man together, and dropped the weapon in his hand.

Jiang Keyi was terrified by these sudden situations, his heart was beating very hard, hitting his chest again and again, it felt like a hole was about to be knocked out.

After she was stunned for a while, she came back to her senses, thinking that she had collected some money in her trouser pocket for convenience, and a few 50 yuan bills that were as light as a feather calmed down everyone's anger in an instant, and those who were injured didn't feel pain. Yes, take the money and ride away.

Jiang Keyi sat in the driver's seat, and You Jianlin had no objection. Although the cut on her forearm was not deep, it was bleeding profusely. She turned the inside of the car back and forth, but couldn't find even a pack of tissues. She opened the bag. When Bao wanted to take out the tissue, he suddenly found something good to stop the bleeding.

You Jianlin saw that Jiang Keyi took apart a long piece of cotton, and anyone with a bit of intelligence could be sure that she definitely didn't take it out for her own use. There were only two people in the car, either she or him.

"Wait, you didn't want me to use this thing, did you?"

"You need this thing more than I do now. They told me that the nearest clinic is 10 minutes to half an hour's drive away. I can't find anything more suitable for hemostasis than this one. You Dong, please don't embarrass me. "

Embarrassed?Telling a big man to use a woman's tampon, who is embarrassing whom?

Thinking about it rationally, what Jiang Keyi said is not wrong. He checked the wound and found that no amount of tissues could absorb blood. He really needs this thing more than she does now. Anyway, it’s not like he would get pregnant after using it. Don't be afraid of anything, let alone a piece of sanitary napkin.

It's just that he heard those women said that this thing must be borrowed and repaid, and how to repay it in the future is a bit troublesome.

"I didn't expect you to speak their dialect, too."

"My aunt has lived here for more than [-] years, and I come to live here for a period of time every year. Learning a few words of Malay is just for the convenience of communication."

You Jianlin felt that Jiang Keyi's appearance looked as delicate as a drooping willow silk, with a demure and unassuming demeanor, and he would not have the aura of arrogance.

As a leader, he is also a person who loves and cherishes talents. Although he cannot accept the relationship between his daughter and Jiang Keyi, he has to admit that she has extraordinary abilities.

Driving along the road, I gradually saw more and more shops on both sides of the road, and the mobile phone signal was restored. Jiang Keyi followed the navigation instructions and finally arrived at the clinic that the villagers said.

Although this place is remote, the doctors and nurses are still professional. After the wound was cleaned and bandaged, a tetanus shot was given. After getting the medicine and paying the bill at the front desk, both of them felt hungry.

Even if there is no traffic jam, it will take two hours to drive back to the hotel. The place where my aunt lives is just not far from here. Jiang Keyi contacted her, told her about their situation, and the other party gave some suggestions.

"You Dong, you will pass my aunt's restaurant when you walk down the road. She suggested to eat at her restaurant and stay at her homestay for one night. What do you think?"

You Jianlin can only say yes, except for asking him to change into women's clothes, the rest will not bother him more than the use of sanitary napkins.

Jiang Lingling was waiting at the door of the restaurant. You Jianlin saw that this woman combined sassy and elegant temperament. The years did not leave marks on her body, but instead precipitated a kind of calm beauty. She smiled at them, like a spring breeze blowing towards them , leaving a refreshing and comfortable feeling.

When Jiang Keyi came out of the bathroom, Jiang Lingling pulled her aside, looked at You Jianlin and then looked back, then whispered in her ear:

"Boyfriend? He looks very handsome, but he seems a bit old for you."

"Auntie, don't you think he's a little kind?"

Jiang Lingling subconsciously looked over again, and sure enough, the more she looked, the more friendly she became. She suddenly remembered the photos that Jiang Keyi had shown her. She hadn't had the chance to meet You Xiaofan herself, but she saw her factory first.

"Ah, from what you've said, he looks somewhat similar to my future niece and daughter-in-law. It turns out he's an in-law..."

"The problem is that he doesn't want to be a relative with us, so don't lose your word later, just treat him as my boss."

"According to you... Another guy with preservatives added to his head, who can't change his mind, leave it to Auntie, and I'll help him brainwash."

Jiang Keyi didn't take her words to heart. She was tired and hungry at the moment, and nothing interested her except food.

You Jianlin once ate local food when he was on a business trip to Portugal, and he was not used to it, but the Portuguese food served in this restaurant surprised him. After improvement, it has become a fusion of Chinese and Western dishes, which is obviously more suitable for Asia people.

Jiang Lingling took a bite of each dish, and suddenly frowned, her face changed suddenly, she put down the fork, and after everyone had eaten almost, she called the manager over, and she didn't know what to say, and the other person hurried towards the direction of the kitchen go.

Not long after, a man wearing a white tall hat and a chef's uniform appeared. He had a serious face and walked towards Jiang Lingling's table with heavy steps.

You Jianlin was so satisfied with every dish that he wanted to give two thumbs up. When he saw the chef approaching, he wanted to boast a few words, but Jiang Lingling spoke before him, but it was not a good word, but a very bad tone. happy to say:

"Why is the cooking taste different from what I asked for? I have insisted on the traditional menu for so many years, but you changed the recipe without telling me. This restaurant does not use unqualified chefs like you, and you will not come to work tomorrow!"

Jiang Lingling finished speaking with a relaxed expression, but the listeners felt heavy and showed worry.

You Jianlin couldn't help being dumbfounded for a while, and then looked at Jiang Keyi, but only saw a face with a ignorant expression. Since women can't understand women anymore, he, a big man, is of course even more puzzled.

"Boss, customers like my improved recipe. The traditional taste is not suitable for local people. More and more customers come back is the best proof."

"These recipes left by my mother are our culture from generation to generation. If you don't follow them, you will be disrespectful to your ancestors. I don't care if the guests turn back because of your cooking. In short, you broke the traditional rules and you are against me. , our restaurant doesn’t need such people.”

The manager standing on the side thought that everyone was on the same boat, no matter what the fishing method was, as long as there were fish caught every day, he would be able to eat fish soup every day. Shen boldly expressed his thoughts.

"Miss Boss, many customers say that they prefer the improved version, and you can see that they all eat happily. If you fire the chef, it may affect the business."

"I'll say it again. Traditions must be followed. I must strictly abide by the recipes passed down by our family. I don't care for guests who don't know how to eat. If you speak for him, I'll let you go with him!"

You Jianlin saw the whole thing in his eyes and found it unreasonable. He is a successful businessman and absolutely agrees with what the chef and the manager said. Times change and the same business model is doomed to fail.

Jiang Lingling's behavior is tantamount to tearing down the signboard in her restaurant, slaughtering the hen that lays the golden eggs, and beating the loyal hound. Sooner or later, the restaurant will close down.

You Jianlin's first good impression of Jiang Lingling was instantly shattered into tiles.

"Mr. You, I'm very sorry. What you ate was not our family's traditional food. I promise you will have authentic Portuguese food next time."

When Jiang Lingling turned her head to face You Jianlin, the ruthless indifference and arrogance and unreasonable mask that seemed to be taken off just now turned into an elegant and amiable female shopkeeper in a few seconds.

"Ms. Jiang, frankly speaking, I have eaten local food in Portugal before on a business trip, but your restaurant is the best Portuguese food I have ever eaten. I think what the master said makes sense. It is more important to cater to the needs of the market than to stick to tradition. important."

"Traditional concepts must be adhered to. Some customers come here because of the traditional taste of our store. I can't just abandon the old and adopt the new just because most people agree with his approach."

Although there were disagreements, You Jianlin saw that Jiang Lingling's tone of voice to the guests was not as hard as a walnut shell. Maybe he could break the other party's old-fashioned thinking mode by saying a few more words.

"Tradition has the beauty of tradition, and innovation also has the charm of innovation. As long as the business is good, the customers are happy to eat, and the chefs in your store can use their ideas on food, it is beneficial to everyone. Why not do it? ?”

"Mr. You's thinking really keeps pace with the times. Big entrepreneurs are different. They have a big structure and a broad mind, but they can accommodate all rivers and rivers. I should learn a lot from you."

You Jianlin has heard too many compliments in his life, so he responded naturally. He just slightly raised the corner of his mouth, nodded to the other party, and accepted the compliment generously, and at the same time, he did not show a trace of complacency. , the attitude is just right.

In a blink of an eye, You Jianlin was attracted by a slightly neutral woman at the door. When she saw the people at their table, she strode towards them.

"It's been a long time, Miss Xiaoyi, what kind of wind brought you here?"

Jiang Keyi heard the reputation, and when he saw this woman, he immediately got up and hugged her warmly. The two seemed to have a good relationship, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became like a wood-burning fireplace lit a fire, warming the whole store.

"Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Xiaoyi's boss, Mr. You, and this is Danny."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you, I have long admired Mr. You's name."

Chen Jiani stretched out her hand proactively, with an elegant and unrestrained spirit, a sense of heroism.

From such a distance, You Jianlin can clearly see the appearance of this woman, her facial features are soft and correct, she can be called a good-looking woman, but her hair is cut shorter than him, and she is wearing a man's shirt. He thinks about all countries and cultures. Pretend he doesn't compliment but doesn't comment either.

The two women sat together and held hands, watching their intimate interaction like a couple, You Jianlin was not used to such a scene, he looked around, looking a little shy.

It seems that he needs a little time to fully assimilate into the customs and culture of this country.

"Danny is my love."

When Jiang Lingling got up to refill You Jianlin's tea, she said such a sentence.

Jiang Keyi also heard it, and her eyes immediately drifted over. She didn't want to miss You Jianlin's classic expression.

"It seems that Xiao Jiang is deeply influenced by his aunt."

Seeing You Jianlin fidgeting first, and then pretending to be open-minded, Jiang Lingling thought it was funny, so she deliberately teased him and said:

"Mr. You shouldn't be prejudiced against people like us, right? Don't you have different views and attitudes towards career and relationship?"

"No...no prejudice, I just feel that Malaysia is indeed much more open than China in this respect."

You Jianlin pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly. Now he finally realized that someone had dug a hole just now, and he jumped down without thinking. It seems that this Jiang Lingling is more difficult to provoke than Jiang Keyi.

Speaking of which, You Jianlin always felt that this Danny was a bit kind-hearted, and he wanted to take a few more glances but felt that it was inappropriate. When he thought of living here for nothing, and then staring at his lover, he became a rascal for no reason Performance.

Jiang Lingling's B&B is very unique. As soon as you walk in, you will feel an inexplicable sense of peace and warmth. As soon as You Jianlin lay down on the comfortable bed, the fragrant quilt seems to have a hypnotic effect. This time, there is no problem of recognizing the bed. , he slept without dreaming until dawn.

Jiang Lingling: "Speak human!"
