Solstice Secrets

The cafeteria made salted fish and eggplant stew, and Ling Dongzhi dragged Lu Xing early to grab the food.The two of them shared a pot of salted fish and eggplant, and bought braised pork ribs and sauced trotters. They occupied an empty table near the staff window and sat down to feast on it.At this time, the class bell has not been rang, and the large troops have not yet rushed into the cafeteria. Only a few teachers who have no class wander over to eat in the tempting smell of food, and it looks empty.

The two of them were eating when they heard chatter and laughter coming from a distance outside the main entrance. Lu Xing turned around and took a look, then said with a smile, "Hey, you don't know, there is another leader visiting today."

Ling Dongzhi asked casually, "Where is it?"

Lu Xing shook his head, "I heard that they are going to donate money to our laboratory."

Ling Dongzhi disapproved, "There are so many rich people."

Lu Xing pouted towards the door, and said sourly: "Hey, he is a real tall, rich and handsome man. This morning, not to mention the single female teachers in the junior high school, even our vice principal accompanied us all the way like a small follower. .The hospitality, I think it's probably because of him."

The name of the vice principal is Huo Qing, the only daughter of the principal Huo Haitian, she is 26 years old and has been working in the Education Department of Nanshan Middle School since she graduated from university.Probably because she felt that her own conditions were good, she was always a bit picky when choosing a partner.Ling Dongzhi was bumped into by her when he first came to report for duty, he was shocked for a moment, and he really stalked him for several months.Later, Ling Dongzhi was overwhelmed by the disturbance, and bluntly said that he was not interested in women, and had no plans to marry a wife and have children in this life, so Huo Qing half-believingly withdrew.Later, when she saw that not only did he have no women, but no men around him, she also had some suspicions that Ling Dongzhi was actually completely indifferent in terms of feelings.Probably because of women's natural sympathy, the relationship between her and Ling Dongzhi gradually became harmonious.

In fact, putting aside this little trouble, Huo Qing is still a good person, serious in her work, and quite cheerful.Much easier to get along with than her serious dad.

Lu Xing then broke the news, "I heard that this rich young man's ancestral home is also from Binhai. His family used to be in the cosmetics business, and later he was engaged in the real estate business. He himself just came back from abroad not long ago..."

Ling Dongzhi had already seen a few people walking in through the door of the cafeteria. Huo Qing was wearing a pink and purple suit and talking eloquently. There were several teachers from the academic affairs office beside her, surrounded by a Qiyu like stars. Imposing youth.The young man was wearing a beige cashmere coat, with just the right smile on his face, and his gestures looked extremely graceful.

Ling Dongzhi's vision seemed to be frozen, and his ears were buzzing.

Ever since he saw this person at the art exhibition, or as early as the day when He Kuan's restaurant opened, he had already guessed that there would be a day when they would meet, but he didn't expect it to be under such circumstances.Ling Dongzhi knew him a little bit, and he didn't really believe that this person would suddenly come to support the cause of education out of kindness.

Then, his intentions are very puzzling.

Ling Dongzhi remembered that he once said that only by climbing to a high place can he choose the life he wants as he pleases.Now he actually came here to talk about donations regardless of Tu Xiaobei's wishes. Does this move imply that he has climbed to the highest position in the entire Zheng family and no longer has to worry about other people's ideas?

So what is the purpose of such a big appearance?He hasn't forgotten himself yet?He wants to win back his attention?Or simply to show that you have the ability to do what you want to do?

Before Zheng Ci's gaze swept over, Ling Dongzhi lowered his head, and swallowed the rice and vegetables in his mouth with a dull expression.I secretly rejoiced that I came early, and I had already eaten a lot of food, especially the salted fish and eggplant stew, only one eggplant and a little bit of soup were left.Ling Dongzhi picked up the eggplant and mixed it into the rice, and said in his heart that it would be unforgivable if he let down such a delicious dish for some reason.

Lu Xing didn't notice Ling Dongzhi's strangeness.He has always been thinking about Huo Qing, and now that Huo Qing is on the stage, his attention is almost attracted by her movement, "Hey, hey, see, it's the most flirty bag in the middle A man. Dressed up like a flower peacock, he came towards us..."

Ling Dongzhi was about to put down his chopsticks, but when he heard his words, he shook his hand and poked it into Lu Xing's plate.Lu Xing's eyes were glued to Huo Qing's body, and he didn't pay attention at all.Ling Dongzhi took advantage of the opportunity to pick up a piece of roasted pork ribs, and started gnawing on the ribs without taste.Then he saw men's trousers and leather shoes, and women's delicate leather boots appeared in his sight.

"The food in the cafeteria is pretty good, and it smells good." It was Zheng Ci's voice, smiling slightly, like a leader who was satisfied with what he saw along the way.

"This is the staff window. The student window is next to it. In order to meet the dining needs of the students, we have also arranged a small halal cafeteria and a noodle restaurant. Mr. Zheng can try it if you are interested. He is not polite to boast that it is really nutritious and delicious. "This soft voice belonged to Huo Qing, and one could hear the respect and unconscious charm in the voice.

"Definitely try it if you have the chance." Zheng Ci laughed, "These two..."

Lu Xing stood up very enthusiastically, "Mr. Zheng, hello. I am Lu Xing from the art teaching and research group."

Ling Dongzhi lowered his head and packed the chopsticks into the dinner plate, got up and walked towards the washroom with the empty plate in hand.According to the rules of the cafeteria, students' tableware is cleaned and disinfected uniformly, and they only need to hand it over to the tableware recycling place after eating.Most of the teaching staff kept the tableware by themselves, and Ling Dongzhi was also used to carrying a small bag when eating, which contained dish towels and dish soap in addition to the lunch box.

Ling Dongzhi's reaction seemed to make Huo Qing a little embarrassed, she coughed lightly, "This is Ling Dongzhi Ling from our art teaching and research group."

The smile on Zheng Ci's face remained unchanged, "I didn't expect to meet acquaintances here. You don't know, this Teacher Ling was my junior brother back then."

Huo Qing and the teachers all smiled in response to the occasion, and Lu Xing was also a little surprised, "Did Mr. Zheng also go to the Academy of Fine Arts?"

"Yeah," Zheng Ci shrugged, showing a hint of regret just right, "but my family didn't support my hobby. Later... oh."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Seeing that Ling Dongzhi was about to go out with his bag in his bag after washing the lunch box, Huo Qing quickly shouted, "Teacher Ling!"

Ling Dongzhi wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, but Huo Qing had already run over in her eight-inch high-heeled boots, grabbed his sleeve, and threatened in a low voice: "Ling Dongzhi, this is our The school's great God of Wealth. If you dare to dismantle my old lady's platform, I will kill you later."

Ling Dongzhi sighed, "I really don't want to see this person."

"Who wants you to see me?" Huo Qing rolled his eyes at him, "You just have to go over and say "Ouch, brother, long time no see." Then talk to him about the situation in the school before, and try to arouse his interest in the school. fond memories of... that's enough!"

"Sponsorship is not within my scope of work." Ling Dongzhi became impatient, "I bring home at least two awards to the school every year, and you still want to use me as an escort? Is it immoral or not?!"

Huo Qing didn't let go of her life and death, the friendship she had read with her classmates, what a useful resource that could add points.But she couldn't really offend Ling Dongzhi.While they were in a stalemate, they heard Zheng Ci's voice behind him, "Junior Brother Ling, long time no see."

Ling Dongzhi froze slightly, Huo Qing quickly adjusted her expression, turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Ling and I are talking about Mr. Zheng, you were from the same department back then?"

"Yes." Zheng Ci glanced at the expressionless Ling Dongzhi, and smiled naturally, "Junior Brother Ling said that?"

Huo Qing made a wild guess on her own.There are so many people in a university, with Ling Dongzhi's indifferent personality, it's hard to say whether he will know someone who is not from the same department, let alone remember this person and leave a certain impression on him.

Zheng Ci didn't seem to see Ling Dongzhi's stiff expression, he smiled to himself and said, "Back then I was in the same studio as Junior Brother Ling. Junior Brother Ling is not very talkative, but he is the most envious of us One of them, because several teachers like to praise him the most.”

Huo Qing glanced at the indifferent look on Ling Dongzhi's face, and laughed out of embarrassment.She is almost sure now that Ling Dongzhi must have some kind of feud with this Young Master Zheng.I didn't know how to end it, so I heard Zheng Ci said with a smile: "It's better to let Junior Brother Ling guide me for the rest of the tour. It just so happens that our senior brothers can also catch up on the old days."

How could Ling Dongzhi suffer from being dumb like this? Seeing Huo Qing's approving expression, he turned around and left with a sullen face.

Huo Qing hurriedly called him, "Hey, Teacher Ling."

Ling Dongzhi said without looking back, "Mr. Zheng, let Director Huo be your guide. I'm just a teacher, and I don't know the school situation as well as she does, so I won't accompany you."
