gentle reunion

Tian Tian didn't know that her brother was worrying about her social life, so she drove the car to the intersection, and the traffic light jumped red, which lasted for more than 100 seconds, and she picked up the phone.

Thinking of what Xu Zan said before, "The world is too small", she edited a circle of friends on a whim: Last night, two friends I know appeared on the same economic show, this world is too small!

The red light only ran for 30 seconds, and she searched the Internet for a screenshot of the opening title of the economic program as a picture.

OK, send it.

The red light started counting down, Tian Tian put down her phone and continued on the road.

At the next red light, she picked up her phone again and saw that there were a few more comments in her circle of friends, and she also received several messages, one of which was Kong Xichen's manager asking her: Sweet girl, except Xichen , Who else do you know?

Tian Tian replied to her: Xu Zan, he is my brother's friend.

The manager was with Kong Xichen, and immediately told Kong Xichen about this as a conversation piece.

Putting the bag containing salted duck and salted fish on the co-pilot, Xu Zan didn't start the car immediately, but began to think about whether to go to Lan Tianran's house for a meal.

He glanced at the bag on the co-pilot, he can still bring his own snacks today.

However, I have already made an appointment to have dinner together on the weekend, and now I go to Cengfan again, isn't it too much?

Would it annoy Lan Tianran to disturb him too often?

Xu Zan vaguely felt that Lan Tianran was colder to him now than before, but after thinking about it, he felt that it should be his own illusion.

But he subconsciously became more cautious.

After thinking about it again and again, he finally decided to wait until the weekend.

When he got home, Xu Zan casually made himself something to eat, and while he was eating, a call came from his cell phone.

Another network number.

Xu Zan swallowed the food in his mouth and took another sip of water before answering the phone.

On the other side there was still a strange voice change: "Xu Zan?"

If Xu Zan hadn't believed in his skills, it would have been difficult for him to connect this voice with Kong Xichen.

He imagined the appearance of Kong Xichen on the opposite side, probably speaking with his father's current wife holding his throat deliberately?

Xu Zan: "It's me, good evening."

Opposite: "I didn't finish talking last time, let's continue this time."

"Tell me." Xu Zan had already "asked for nothing" from him, so he was very calm and indifferent at the moment.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Xu Zan: "I want to ask if you know Wang Kejiu and how much you know about him."

"Why are you asking about him?"

Xu Zan: "I have a bit of a conflict with him. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win all battles, so I want to know more about him."

Since he knew that he couldn't persuade the other party to sue Wang Ting, he didn't plan to mention the video. Everyone was afraid of that thing, so let's just pretend it didn't exist.

Xu Zan: "By the way, he changed his name and is now called Wang Ting. He returned to China some time ago-do you know about this? I met him once, and he seems to be doing well."

Opposite silence.

Xu Zan didn't say anything, he picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.

The movement on his side alarmed the person opposite, who asked, "What are you doing?"

"Have a meal."

The other side was stunned.

"How much do you know about me?" After a while, the person opposite spoke again.

Xu Zan's attitude puzzled him, so he tried to figure out why.

Xu Zan: "I don't understand. I'm not interested in you, I'm interested in Wang Ting."

There was no words on the other side, and after a while, he said: "Let's stop here today, goodbye."

On Friday afternoon, the employees of Infinity Technology packed their belongings, and then the moving company came to move them to Long Yuen Building.

The employees don't have to follow them, they go home and go to work in the new office on Monday.

At noon on Saturday, Xu Zan invited Lan Tianran and the others to dinner, and the restaurant he ordered was Diannan Prefecture.

Because Fang Peilin said he had never eaten at this restaurant.

——Last time he found this store to make wedding clothes for Xu Zan, but he had never eaten it himself, so he wanted to try it.

After arriving at the store, under the personal guidance of the manager, everyone walked through the courtyards and came to a waterside pavilion near the lake in the depths of the building. This is where they ate today.

On one side of the water pavilion is a beautiful garden, and on the other side is a clear lake. On the other side of the lake is a building that looks like a large restaurant.

Song Minmin was very surprised. She used to book tables at the big restaurant. She asked the manager, "I remember you don't have this 'box' on your official website. Is this a hidden map?"

Manager: "Generally, it is not open to the outside world."

Xiaotao looked around: "I like this place!"

Li Yintian is very considerate: "Shall I help you take pictures?"

Fang Peilin pressed the phone for a while, and said, "I found it, the operator of Nannan Prefecture: Xiang Xiang."

Song Minmin looked at Xu Zan: "That Young Master Xiang? So it's an acquaintance's shop!"

Lan Tianran and Tang Ju also looked at Xu Zan.

Xu Zan smiled: "He drove it, what's wrong?"

He gave Lan Tianran a slight push to guide him to sit down, and then sat down beside him himself.

Fang Peilin was still pressing his phone: "He has opened many restaurants, and this one is the most famous."

Xu Zan looked at the manager, who beckoned the waiters to come over, and tea, snacks, side dishes and other cups and dishes were put on the table.

Everyone was attracted by the exquisite food, Fang Peilin put down his phone, Xiao Tao and Li Yintian stopped taking pictures of the outside scenery, but turned their cameras to the table.

We ate and chatted.

Song Minmin said: "Xu Zan, you have a new scandal again."

"Oh?" Xu Zan adjusted the plate calmly, and moved a plate of side dishes that he thought tasted good to Lan Tianran.

Song Minmin: "The target of the scandal is Kong Xichen. Have you seen the video on the Internet? Last week he went to record a variety show, and everyone asked him about starting a business. He didn't talk about himself or Tang Ju, but he talked about you. You are full of praise."

Tang Ju: "That's just a sideshow, he should have said something else, but the TV station only cut this part and put it on the Internet."

Lan Tianran looked at them and listened carefully to their conversation.

"Let me take a look." Xu Zan took out his phone and searched for relevant information online.

I found it. It was a small video of Kong Xichen saying that Xu Zan worked so hard when he first started his business that he forgot to sleep and eat.

Xu Zan played the external voice, Lan Tianran said after listening, "He didn't talk nonsense, what Xu Zan said in the show before."

When Xu Zan was asked about his entrepreneurial journey in an economic program, he described in detail the difficult situation when he opened his first company in Yazhou.

Xu Zan looked at Lan Tianran with a smile, he watched his own show.

Xu Zan was happy but also a little embarrassed. Although he was one of the guests on the show, he still had to say that not watching the show was not a loss.

Song Minmin shook his head: "Naturally, you are not sensitive to this kind of thing. With Xu Zan's reputation on the Internet, Kong Xichen shouldn't mention him. A mention of him will definitely attract netizens to watch."

Xu Zan turned his head: "What happened to my reputation?"

Song Minmin said concisely: "Not straight."

Lan Tianran held Xu Zan's hand under the table.

Xu Zan was not unhappy because of Song Minmin's "offence", but he was happy for Lan Tianran's actions. He smiled and ignored Song Minmin's criticism.

Li Yintian adjusted the atmosphere: "Probably he admires Xu Zan so much that he can't help it. ——We have to admit that Xu Zan is still very attractive."

Lan Tianran agreed with him, and with this thought, he felt that Xu Zan's hand in his palm became hot, so he quickly let go.

Xu Zan held Lan Tianran's finger with his backhand, and then slid it away with nostalgia. This little action caused waves in Lan Tianran's heart.

If the two were getting along in private now, Lan Tianran would definitely get up and walk away, stay away from Xu Zan, and calm down.

The two faced each other, and Xiaotao acted in shock: "Husband, you don't want to bend over, do you?"

The others laughed.

Amidst the laughter, Song Minmin looked at Xu Zan: "You only need to find a girlfriend and you can solve the problem fundamentally in an instant."

"Just because of this? Impossible." Xu Zan said jokingly, "My will will not be transferred by others."

"Okay, you are strong!"

"When will the innovative enterprise conference be held?" Fang Peilin asked.

"At the beginning of next month." Tang Ju said, "Are you going?"

Although there are only a dozen or so companies that have been promoted, basically all companies related to innovation and technology have received invitations to the conference, and Fang Peilin's company has also received invitations.

Even if you don't receive it, if you want to go, you can go to the official website to apply, and you can usually pass it.

Fang Peilin shook his head: "Let others go."

Xiaotao: "This meeting is held in Jifang Town, you can go and have fun."

Jifang Town is a tourist town integrating humanities and beautiful scenery.

Fang Peilin was not interested: "What's the fun, it's a waste of time."

Song Minmin said: "It's not free, you have to pay for room and board."

Xiaotao smiled: "You two are really 'real'."

The appetizers are almost eaten, and the main courses are served one after another.

One dish featured dark slices of meat piled high in colorful hot sauces.

Xu Zan introduced: "This is salted salted duck and sauced fish. My friend gave me special products. I brought them here and asked the kitchen to help them process them. This dish is quite spicy. Can you eat spicy food?"

In fact, it can be eaten directly after unpacking, but the kitchen seems to think that it is better to process it again, so it is served with hot sauce.

Everyone says they can eat spicy food very well.

Tang Ju was the first to stretch out his chopsticks. He took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Then his face turned pale quickly, and he fell down on the table in cold sweat.

Everyone was stunned, is this dish poisonous?

Tang Ju said weakly, "It's too spicy."

"Is it so spicy?" Except for Lan Tianran, everyone did not believe in evil, and all raised their chopsticks to reach for the plate of meat.

Xu Zan also pinched it, but instead of swallowing it all at once, he tried to bite a little bit first, and the place where his tongue touched the meat immediately started to hurt, like being stabbed by a knife.

He spat out the bit of minced meat, and put down the rest of the meat on the chopsticks, first telling Lan Tianran who didn't move the chopsticks at all: "Don't eat."

Then he grabbed the water glass and poured his head up into his mouth, as if putting out a fire.

Others are not as careful as him, isn't it just a piece of meat, isn't it just a little bit more spicy, how spicy can it be?

After a while, everyone seemed to be poisoned, their faces were pale, and they were sweating profusely. It looked like they were suffering from severe heat stroke to the point of dying.

Xu Zan poured juice for everyone: "Drink something sweet, it can relieve the spiciness."

He asked the waiter next to him to go to the kitchen and ask the chef why this dish is so spicy.

The original sauced salted duck and sauced board fish are also spicy, but they should definitely not be so spicy.

After drinking a lot of juice, Song Minmin and the others calmed down a bit, and they all said, "What the hell kind of pepper is this, why is it so hot?"

Lan Tianran: "The origins of the hottest peppers are all in southern Yunnan."

"But why is it so spicy?"

Lan Tianran asked, "Why can't it be so spicy?"

"..."

Song Minmin smiled and said, "Do you know why Tianran has always been the one who dominates the overall situation? Because in his eyes there is nothing impossible."

Tang Ju leaned on the chair as if he was seriously exhausted: "The world in his eyes is different from ours."

Xu Zan is the only "outsider" here, so he is the key audience. He cooperatively affirmed everyone's words: "I know, he is very powerful."

Lan Tianran: "I just think that what Tang Ju did just now was really hot, and I'm not joking with everyone."

"..."

Everyone looks at each other, this is to see things from different angles!

It's not a question of joking at all, they just don't believe that the dish can be so spicy.

After a while, the chef came over to explain himself. He said that he thought this dish should be spicy to taste, and this dish was originally spicy, so he thought that everyone can eat spicy food, so he didn’t control the degree of spiciness. .

Afterwards, Tang Ju and the others asked the waiter to bring some bowls of boiling water over, and they rinsed the meat with water before eating it. While eating, they sighed: "It's delicious, but it's too spicy."

Xu Zan was speechless, these people are really persistent, they would rather suffer than admit defeat.

Lan Tianran: "If you eat any more, you will have diarrhea."

"..." Everyone finally gave up holding on angrily.

Xu Zan suppressed a smile and asked the waiter to come over and remove the plate.
