Chapter 45 Section ten

At the end of the dinner at noon that day, there were actually eleven people, and Mimi was added to the ten people.Niaodan wanted to invite those cronies to the club to get together, and those people were a little puzzled. It is relatively rare to have a dinner at noon, and Niaodan is definitely not a generous person. Plucking hairs is an impossible task.Today, he took the initiative to open a dinner in the clubhouse and invite everyone to "sit and sit", which is extremely rare. Everyone was thinking that he must be using his position as the deputy general manager of the Great Southeast Group to eat and drink with public funds in the clubhouse.These days, if you don’t eat for free, you don’t eat for free, and whoever doesn’t eat for free, anyway, if you don’t eat at his place, you have to eat elsewhere, so those friends come here as soon as they are invited. It is even more determined that this is a free meal.

Of course, Xiong Bao didn't know the reason for the dinner in the kitchen. He learned that the chairman and his wife personally entertained the guests. They must be very important guests. Li Shasha asked Li Shasha to present the menu to Hao Dongxi for review.Hao Dongxi glanced at it and said "OK, yes" before returning it to Li Shasha. Li Shasha quickly took the menu and ran back to the kitchen to let the bear bag boil. Ajiao sat next to Hao Dongxi, looked left and right for a while, and suddenly said to Qian Liangliang, "Where's Mimi?" Qian Liangliang made her ask in a daze: "Why are you looking for Mimi?"

Hao Dongxi pinched Ajiao's thigh under the table, not letting her mention Mimi's affairs, for fear that Qian Liangliang would be embarrassed, and it wouldn't be fun if there was a wave of unrest and another wave.A Jiao slapped Hao Dongxi's bear's paw away, and said calmly to Qian Liangliang, "I'm the only woman in a table of stinky men. Call Mimi to accompany me." Qian Liangliang was hesitant. Ajiao's request made him feel difficult. He couldn't imagine what the simple and honest Mimi would look like on this occasion, and how the people at this table would treat Mimi. The most terrible thing was , he couldn't figure out what Ajiao meant.Seeing that Qian Liangliang was in a daze, Ajiao explained: "Mimi and you are on good terms. Bird's egg said bad things about you, and it might have reached her ears. Let Bird's egg return your innocence in front of her."

Seeing that Qian Liangliang's face suddenly turned into a purple eggplant, Ajiao smiled and said, "Besides, when I didn't open for business, every time I came here to eat, it was Mimi who took care of me. I also take this opportunity to thank her today." Qian Liangliang was extremely embarrassed. Even though he and Mimi had covered their faces, they were still struggling to hold the pipa to half cover their faces, and put on a mask for themselves.A Jiao said that in public today, which is equivalent to taking off the fig leaf between him and Mimi, even though it is already an open secret, the value of that fig leaf is only psychological.Qian Liangliang became timid, not because he was afraid of making his relationship with Mimi public, but because he was afraid of A Jiao's schemes and methods.Ajiao's actions, understood positively, were completely well intentioned, and no one could fault her reasons.However, understanding it from another perspective is also tantamount to implying Qian Liangliang: Don't be so prudish, others say you are great, and you are not a good thing.Qian Liangliang originally wanted to use this dinner to bring back the justified excitement, so A Jiao's understatement was like a raging fire meeting a shower, and it was extinguished immediately, leaving only a few wisps of feeble green smoke.

The waiter heard A Jiao's order, and hurried to call Mimi before Qian Liangliang could speak.A Jiao ordered the waiter to add more seats and tableware.Thinking that Mimi must still be wearing the blue overalls of a sanitation worker, Qian Liangliang became even more uneasy. He didn't know what it would be like for Mimi to sit at this dinner table with these people in sloppy work clothes. scene. At this time, the dishes and drinks began to be served.First, there are eight cold dishes, nothing special, mainly for drinking.At the beginning, Wuliangye was served, but Hao Dongxi denied it: "For foreign wine, bring a bottle of Royal Cordon Bleu."

Wuliangye is about 500 yuan, and the cheapest bottle of Royal Cordon Bleu costs 1200 yuan. No matter what, these people have to drink two bottles. When Hao Dongxi said this, even Ajiao couldn't help staring at him. I don't care, anyway, the boss pays for it, the more expensive the better.The waiter quickly changed the royal blue ribbon, and brought a glass of ice cubes along with it. It is said that this kind of wine should be served with ice, and no one knows whether to add ice.After the wine was poured and the ice added, Hao Dongxi told Niaodan: "You can say the toast today. You are smart about what to say, and you can't be wrong."

Niaodan stood up with a wry smile, picked up the wine glass, and was about to say something, but Ajiao stopped him: "Wait, Mimi hasn't come yet, what's the hurry if everyone hasn't come?" As soon as the bird sat down, Mimi came. To Qian Liangliang's surprise, Mimi didn't wear the sloppy overalls. Body-fitting floral pleats.The lower body is a pair of dark blue skirt pants, which are light and elegant, and it seems that they have suddenly become another person.Mimi has fair skin and a plump body. Her bare arms are as tender as peeled lotus roots.Mimi stood shyly and nervously at the door of the box: "Miss Boss, are you calling me?"

A Jiao looked at Mimi in surprise for a while before saying: "Yes, yes, come and sit, let's go together." Mimi obediently sat on A Jiao's right hand according to A Jiao's instructions. She was honest and timid. I mistakenly thought that she was calm and easy-going. Ajiao waited for Mimi to sit down and the waiter had poured her wine before saying to Niaodan: "Okay, tell me." Niaodan has a thick skin, and what Hao Dongxi and Ajiao made him say would be embarrassing and embarrassing to most people, but he didn't care, and dealt with the predicament with a cynical good mood.He picked up the wine glass and stood up, as if he really wanted to make a toast: "Leaders, friends, and distinguished guests, today is an important dinner." Speaking of which, he glanced around, like a leader When he was speaking, he observed who was listening carefully and who was dozing off. After scanning, he coughed lightly and paused again and again, completely in the posture of the mayor's secretary making a report.Qian Liangliang made his teeth itch with hatred, and he had the desire to bite him again.

"The reason why this dinner is important today is because I want to solemnly apologize to my elder brother Qian in public..." As soon as Niaodan said this, the companion who was casually eager to eat and drink was immediately refreshed, and his eyes brightened. If the searchlight shines on the faces of Qian Liangliang and Niaodan, it seems that Qian Liangliang and Niaodan have turned into monsters in an instant. Director Zhang is the director of the Planning Division of the Land Bureau, and also the key target of Hao Dongxi's Great Southeast Group.Unless there is a boss present, this kind of person feels good about himself in any situation, always thinks that the earth revolves around him, and immediately claps his hands when he hears the bird's egg say: "Okay, okay, it's a rare bird's egg treat, even more rare bird's egg Apologizing to people, just apologizing is not enough, you have to be punished three times in a row to be sincere." He didn't even know why he apologized, and clapped his hands and yelled, just to show his existence, mistakenly thinking that he was the core of the dinner, the host and guest.

Several other friends who Qian Liangliang and Hao Dongxi couldn't figure out their identities quickly responded enthusiastically to Director Zhang: "Yes, you should be fined for a drink before apologizing." The bird egg was also unambiguous: "I accept the opinions of the leaders and friends, I will drink it first." Then, he poured down the golden royal blue ribbon in the cup in one gulp. Everyone here applauded the bird's eggs with bluff.Bird's egg went on to say: "That night I borrowed money from everyone, saying that it was Brother Qian who went to prostitutes without bringing any money. In fact, I made it up. It's nothing like that. Today I solemnly apologize to Brother Qian for spreading rumors and slandering Brother Qian. I have caused a huge loss of reputation to Big Brother Qian. I not only apologize, but also authorize Big Brother Qian to make rumors about me, slander me, and slander me once. Who do you owe?" After finishing speaking, Niaodan respectfully bowed to Qian Liangliang three times.

After bowing, the bird's egg picked up the wine glass again: "I'll drink three more to accept the punishment, okay?" Qian Liangliang had no choice but to smile wryly, he really couldn't be serious when dealing with people like Niaodan.Bird's egg drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and asked the waiter to pour the wine for him with ice.Hao Dongxi quit: "Fuck you, what kind of wine is this? Royal Cordon Bleu, don't you know how much a bottle is? I took this opportunity to get rid of my alcohol addiction. Up to now, everyone hasn't had a sip, so you've had to drink it. No Give him a drink." Bird's egg had a hippie smile on his face: "Boss, don't feel sorry for the wine. I didn't drink for the sake of drinking, but for apologizing and punishing Brother Qian." Only then did the others understand that Niaodan was lent to Qian Liangliang to apologize, and took the opportunity to drink the royal blue ribbon. Some laughed and scolded Niaodan for being cunning, and some pretended to be angry and accused Niaodan of fake apology and cheating. The scene suddenly became chaotic. lively. Director Zhang began to play a central role again: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet." Director Zhang yelled, and the others all fell silent, watching eagerly for what he had to say. "Niaodan apologized just now, proving that the money he borrowed that night was not to pay for Mr. Qian Liangliang, but he hasn't explained it clearly, so why did he borrow the money? He has to make it clear, right? Otherwise, this apology Not sincere, not serious, right?" Those cronies of Bird's Egg immediately responded: "Yes, yes, no sincerity, tell me honestly, who did you borrow the money for that day? Why did you borrow the money?" Bird's egg's brain was spinning faster than the wheels of Hao Dongxi's Mercedes-Benz: "Oh, don't say it, you don't believe it, you borrowed money that night, you really did a good deed." Everyone laughed: "Bird eggs can do good things? Roosters can lay eggs." Bird's egg pretended to smile wryly: "I'm a good person. The little girl who gave me a massage that night accidentally sprained her arm. Tell me, shouldn't I pay for her medical expenses? She accidentally gave me a massage I twisted my arm, and I didn’t bring any money. I asked you to borrow money and you talked so much nonsense. The little girl was crying upstairs in pain. I didn’t bother to explain to you at the time, so I quickly borrowed the money so I could take her to the hospital. In order to satisfy your vulgar interests, I have no choice but to make Big Brother Qian wronged, no, I have to apologize to Big Brother Qian." Hao Dongxi, Ajiao, and Qian Liangliang were stunned by Bird's egg's words, and they couldn't tell the truth from the fritters at those dinners. People are the most important thing." After being stunned for a moment, Hao Dongxi suddenly laughed wildly.Ajiao shook his head and smiled wryly.Qian Liangliang can't laugh or cry.Bird's Egg winked at the three of them who knew the inside story and beckoned them not to expose him.Hao Dongxi laughed so hard that she coughed and burst into tears: "Okay, my bird, I really admire you today, good job. I remember you studied urban water supply and drainage, right? It must be a fake diploma, you should study journalism Professional. Hahaha, fuck you old, I have convinced you." Ajiao shook his head and sighed: "Niaodan is really talented, it's a pity that you didn't become a government official." Director Zhang reacted quickly: "What's wrong? Did the bird egg lie and deceive people to make up a story?" Hao Dongxi was about to expose the bird's egg, when Ajiao pinched Hao Dongxi's thigh, hard enough, Hao Dongxi jumped up: "Why you?" Director Zhang sat on Hao Dongxi's right hand, and teased: "You two are too disrespectful, pinching and sexually harassing in public. Fine wine, fine wine." Hao Dongxi picked up the wine glass: "Fuck you, it's so easy for me to drink. Come, come, let's all come together, if you don't hurry up, let the bird drink alone." So everyone toasted and drank the wine in the glass. At this time, the main dishes came up one after another, including Lumen's most famous crab with scallion and ginger, fried sea oysters, papaya snow clams, and steamed grouper of Cantonese cuisine, Braised abalone in soy sauce, etc. Today, there is another pot of angelica black chicken soup. When it comes up, everyone can't help but reach into the chopsticks and toss the curled up fat chicken.One of Bird's Egg's best friends was tossing and muttering to himself, "Why aren't there any chicken legs today?" Qian Liangliang couldn't help being secretly shocked when he heard this.Ajiao stood up: "No way?" He turned the whole chicken over in the soup pot. Fortunately, the chicken leg was finally found, and the chef stuffed it into the chicken belly. Qian Liangliang was relieved when he found the chicken leg Lai: Fortunately, the weasel has officially entered the kitchen, and even the problem of stealing chicken legs has been cured.The food is ready, and the diners have entered a short busy period. No one cares about wasting their mouths to talk, and concentrate on maximizing the function of eating with their mouths.Only Ah Jiao takes care of Mimi from time to time.At this time, Mimi really began to show timidity, and did not dare to stretch out her chopsticks.Ajiao put all kinds of dishes into the dishes in front of her.Mimi squirmed and kept saying thanks. Bird's Egg also invited everyone to spring in the water bath after dinner. Director Zhang had a meeting in the afternoon, and the other guests also had their own affairs.After seeing off the guests, Niaodan greeted the waiter to come and sign the bill. When the club opened, there was such a rule that executives above the vice president within the group could sign the bill for consumption in the club, and it would be reviewed and written off by the chairman afterward. The waiter was just going to pick up the verification form as instructed, but Hao Dongxi stopped the waiter: "If you don't sign the bill at noon today, Mr. Bird treats you at his own expense." Niaodan's complexion suddenly became colorful, white for a while, livid for a while, red for a while, and sallow for a while. He stomped his feet and slapped his butt anxiously: "Chairman, boss, you can't do this, this table costs at least five thousand yuan." Hao Dongxi: "You asked for thousands of dollars. You apologized to Mr. Qian and let the group pay the bill. Do you think the group has been taken advantage of? Fuck you, let you have a long memory, don't be open-minded in the future, Dare to chew anything or nothing." Ajiao couldn't bear it, but seeing Hao Dongxi's seriousness, he couldn't say anything, so he grabbed Mimi.Mimi hurriedly followed Ajiao away.Hao Dongxi stuffed the tea box in his hand to Qian Liangliang: "You keep the rest of the Taiwan Dongding to drink, and I'll go too. You can transfer that Mimi to a job, dress decently, and sit in front of others. The smell of the barrel, you are really interesting." Hao Dongxi threw down such a sentence and walked away.Qian Liangliang was about to follow up to see off Hao Dongxi, but was grabbed by the bird's egg: "Mr. Qian, Brother Qian, what do you think? I didn't bring any money today." Qian Liangliang pretended to be confused: "It's easy to do without money, just swipe the card." With a sad face, Niaodan took out a card and handed it to Qian Liangliang.Qian Liangliang saw that it was a second-generation ID card. "I only have this card, try to see if I can get money out." Bird Egg said seriously.Qian Liangliang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, knowing that he was reneging on the debt on purpose, so he returned his ID card: "Then I'll call the chairman, and he said it's waived, okay?" The bird egg quickly stopped him: "Don't look for him. Is it possible for you to make him change his words immediately after what the leader said? After two days, when he feels better, he changes his mind. Then you can ask him again. Sigh, Brother Qian, You really have the heart to watch me pay for your apology with my own money? Your compensation is too expensive, right?" After such a turmoil, Qian Liangliang could no longer get angry with this unscrupulous and shameless bird egg. He thought to himself that he insisted on not paying the bill, and he couldn't be detained. I had to eat and drink as offerings, so I had to say: "You go, record the account first, and talk about what to do later." Niaodan was immediately elated and relaxed, "Okay, okay, brother Qian is kind and tolerant. After a while, I invite you to sit and sit together." Qian Liangliang sneered: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, if I sit with you again, I don't know which ditch I will throw me into again." Bird egg chuckled: "No, absolutely not, I still have to take a step ahead, and I will definitely invite you to sit with me some other day." Birdy ran away in a hurry, as if Qian Liangliang would change his mind and detain him to pay the bill later. Qian Liangliang came down from upstairs to see if there was anything wrong with Ajiao, but he saw Mimi standing alone outside the gate of the clubhouse and looking into the distance. Qian Liangliang went over to say hello, "Where is the proprietress?" Mimi turned around: "Let's go, it's amazing, a woman driving a car is like a whirlwind." Mimi hadn't changed into her work clothes yet, she was still wearing the outfit she wore when she went to the banquet just now, Qian Liangliang had never seen Mimi dressed like this: "Your clothes are..." Mimi looked down at herself: "It's not ugly, is it? Li Shasha bought it for her mother. At noon, Li Shasha came to me and said that the proprietress asked me to eat. I thought she was joking with me. Li Shasha said it was not a joke, but it was true. I changed clothes, but I didn’t have any decent clothes, so she let me wear the clothes she bought for her mother first, isn’t it ugly? I think it’s too gorgeous.” Mimi kept saying that this suit was not suitable for her, but her expression was very satisfied and happy. Mimi's appearance made Qian Liangliang feel guilty.Since he got close to Mimi, he never thought of buying a piece of clothing for Mimi, or creating a better working environment for Mimi.Maybe he would not admit it rationally, but in his subconscious mind, Mimi is a shoe shiner on the street, and her identity determines that she can only do rough work like cleaning in the clubhouse.The same is true in the relationship between two people. Mimi is in a passive subordinate position of absolute obedience and domination.She devoted herself wholeheartedly to Qian Liangliang, whether it was out of gratitude to repay her kindness, or whether she really had affection for Qian Liangliang, Qian Liangliang had never seriously thought about it.At this moment, looking at the contented Mimi wearing the borrowed clothes, Qian Liangliang secretly scolded himself: Qian Liangliang, your mother is really nothing. Mimi should be the first one. When Qian Liangliang thought about it, the expression on his face was not good-looking, gloomy and rigid.Mimi raised her eyes and saw Qian Liangliang like this, she was a little apprehensive: "What's wrong? Shouldn't I have lunch with them?" Qian Liangliang quickly denied: "No, the proprietress said that in the past when she came to the clubhouse, you were the one who helped cook. Today I would like to take this opportunity to thank you." Mimi sighed: "Rich people will be so nice." When it came to the dinner at noon, Qian Liangliang began to ponder again: What is Ajiao's purpose in calling Mimi to this banquet?In connection with Hao Dongxi asking him to arrange a suitable position for Mimi just now, he should understand that Hao Dongxi and his wife already knew about his relationship with Mimi, which is a kind of goodwill.Perhaps, as Mimi said, Hao Dongxi and his wife are really good people among the rich.Thinking of this, Qian Liangliang felt a little funny, he wouldn't degenerate to the point of using the two concepts of good and bad as the criteria for judging people, right? His uncertain face made Mimi uneasy, and Mimi's life knowledge told her that the best way to avoid uncertain possible harm is to escape and avoid it.So he bid farewell to Qian Liangliang: "I'll just go there if there's nothing to do, the stairs haven't been cleaned yet." Qian Liangliang answered absent-mindedly.Mimi left in a hurry. Qian Liangliang turned around and wanted to take the time to rest for a while. There should be a lot of guests tonight. There are great discounts for the opening just now, and there is plenty of time after dinner. The high-quality service of the Chinese-style dinner and leisure club advertised in the news media.
