The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen looked at Cao Minfang again, and he saw her more than a month ago. She seemed to be a little darker and thinner. Zhang Chen and Cao Minfang said, thank you for your hard work.

Cao Minfang smiled and said: "It's not hard, I just feel like there's not enough time."

After the group got on the minibus, Cao Minfang asked Zhang Chen whether he should go to the hotel on Renmin Road first or stay at the resort hotel first.

Before Zhang Chen said anything, Xiaofang shouted: "Let's go check out the new hotel first."

During the Spring Festival, Xiaofang did not return to China. Zhang Chen was planning to build a tropical botanical garden in Sanya and open a hotel in the city. Zhang Chen told her over the phone or on MSN that she would of course want to see it in person when she arrived in Sanya.

Cao Minfang agreed, and she told the driver to go to Renmin Road first.

“What’s going on with the planning approval for the Botanic Gardens?”

Zhang Chen asked Cao Minfang, and Cao Minfang said, I called yesterday, mainly because the expert review process is a little slow, and it should be available next week.

"After planning, your time will not be enough." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"It's okay. On the construction site, the old Canadian man was more attentive than me. He had quarreled with the construction team several times. The construction team told him that you were the designer. After the design was completed, it would be none of your business. He said no. , I just want to watch you. If you don’t follow my design, it just won’t work. Where he is, he is more effective than the supervisor.”

Cao Minfang said, and Zhang Chen laughed. He said, this Jacques is like this. He always said that designing a project is like his own child. It is not enough just to see him born, but also to watch him grow up. This He was relieved that after so many years, whenever he went to Hangzhou, he would go to Mishi River first. If he found out that something had been tampered with, he would get angry at Lao Tan.

"Many foreigners are like this. They are as religious as believers in their careers." Xiaofang said, "They are not very flexible."

As they talked, they arrived at the Banmutian Hotel. The decoration of the entire hotel had been completed, and staff training was now being carried out. Zhang Chen saw that Lu Hong, the original catering manager of the Banmutian Resort Hotel, had been transferred here as the general manager. Manager, she is training the waiters in the lobby on the first floor.

The newly recruited waiters each held a stainless steel tray with two bricks in their hands. They lined up and walked in the hall with their chests held out and their backs straight.

Cao Minfang led them to the back of the building. The original warehouse was now completely connected to the house in front and converted into a kitchen, water table and warehouse.

The stoves in that row were blazing with blazing fire, and the exhaust fans above their heads were whining. Six or seven chefs, holding horse spoons, stood in front of the stoves cooking.

On another long row of stainless steel chopping boards, there are seven or eight piers, and on each pier stands a chef chopping vegetables.

Fatty Fu walked back and forth between the two rows of people. When he saw Zhang Chen, he hurried over.

"What, Master Fu, are you taking the chef assessment today?" Zhang Chen asked.

Fatty Fu nodded and said, it has been two days since the exam, and today is the third day. There is no chance of winning. Now these people are applying for the job. When they take out their certificates, they are either Level 1 or Special 3. They are all fake certificates. Fortunately, No one dares to make a special certificate. If you know that you are really special, you don’t need to look for a job. The job will find you.

That resume is even more frightening to me when I take it out, including the one who worked as a chef in Zhongnanhai.

Zhang Chen and He Hongmei laughed, and Fatty Fu said, "There is no way, I won't count whether it's true or not. I'll take the test one by one. How much do you weigh? I'll have the final say."

"Master Fu picks them here and sends them to the resort hotel for internship. Also, Huijuan and I have agreed that we will send three or four to her place for internship for a period of time to learn the cuisine there." Cao Minfang and Zhang Chen said.

Zhang Chen said yes.

After checking out the hotels on Renmin Road, they went to the Banmutian Resort Hotel. Once they arrived at the Banmutian Resort Hotel and got off the car, the children couldn't hold it in any longer. Zhou Ruoyi and Zheng Xinxin both shouted, asking Xiaofang, what are we doing? Can I go to the beach?

Xiaofang looked at the hot sun outside and told them that the sun was too strong now and they should go later.

"We are not afraid of the sun." Zheng Xinxin shouted.

Zhang Chen told them: "The sun in Sanya is not as good as in Hangzhou. Because of the sea breeze, you won't feel that hot when it's on your body, but it will actually make your skin peel."

"Did you hear that?" Xiaofang said, "I'll go later."

Several children had no choice but to agree.

But when it came time to assign rooms, another problem arose. Zhang Xiangbei and Sun Xiangyang naturally shared a room. Originally, Cao Minfang arranged for Xiaofang and Xiangnan to share a room, and Zhou Ruoyi and Zheng Xinxin to share a room. But Xiangnan didn't look very good. willing.

Xiaofang understands that these three best friends are like an equilateral triangle. When they are together, the distance between everyone is equal. This means that one person must be excluded. The excluded person will immediately feel equilateral. , you will have ideas in your mind.

Xiaofang asked Cao Minfang if there was a room for three people. Cao Minfang said no. Everyone came here at this age. Cao Minfang also knew what the little girl was thinking. She told Xiang Nan, either I can stay in the standard room and add another bed, and the three of you can Is it okay to have a room for each person?

The three girls agreed immediately.

Cao Minfang and Xiaofang winked and said to her, I will change you to a double bed room.

Xiaofang smiled and said, thank you Mr. Cao!

The arrangements were made, everyone went upstairs. Xiaofang's room was diagonally opposite Zhang Chen's room. He Hongmei wanted to follow Xiaofang to her room, but Xiaofang pushed her away. Xiaofang said, why are you following me? You have something to say. Let’s talk about it at dinner.

He Hongmei came back with a flat mouth and said to Zhang Chen: "Grandma, I am disliked."

Zhang Chen laughed.

The two people entered the room, hugging and kissing each other. When they walked to the window again, they saw Xiang Nan and the three girls already on the beach below, racing against the waves against the sun. When the waves came, They quickly ran to the beach, but the waves caught up with them and wet their clothes.

When the waves receded, they ran after them, but the waves always got ahead of them, forming foam on the beach and finally disappearing.

Zhang Chen and He Hongmei stood there hugging each other, looking outside. After a while, Zhang Xiangbei and Sun Xiangyang also appeared and joined the team chasing the waves. Sun Xiangyang was always the last one running at the end. The girls were laughing at him.

Zhang Chen and He Hongmei were also amused by Sun Xiangyang's movements of jutting his fat buttocks from left to right and bumping his big belly when he ran.

When it was time to have dinner, the sun was setting in the west, and more and more people began to arrive on the beach and at the pool below. After a few children ate for a while, they said they were done and wanted to go swimming, and Xiaofang wanted to accompany them. When they went, Cao Minfang saw that Xiaofang had nothing to eat, so she said no, you continue to eat, and I asked the lifeguards on the lookout post to watch them.

In order to ensure the safety of guests, there is a lifeguard on the beach in front of their hotel, sitting on a chair more than three meters high, wearing swimming trunks, shirtless, wearing a beret and sunglasses on his head, holding a Whistle, holding a long bamboo pole in the right hand, with a small red flag on the top of the pole.

When he saw someone swimming too far from the shore in the sea ahead, or other possible dangers, he immediately blew his whistle and waved a flag to warn. If danger really occurred, he would rush over to rescue them as soon as possible.

Zhang Chen and Xiang Nan Xiangbei said that according to the lifeguard uncle, although you can swim, you should not swim too far in the sea. It is difficult to swim in sea water. Even those who can swim will still get choked. Play close to the shore. Just play. If you want to swim, go back to the swimming pool and swim.

Several children agreed, and Cao Minfang took them down.

The children had all left, leaving only Zhang Chen and He Hongmei Xiaofang on the table. Xiaofang looked at them and said:

"Okay, now we can be honest, how are you two doing?"

"The two of us?" He Hongmei looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Can't you see, we are very good."

Zhang Chen also smiled.

Xiaofang stared at Zhang Chen and He Hongmei. After a while, she sighed and said:

"I really don't understand you two. It's not like you don't have chemistry when you are together. People on the side look at you and think you are a good match, but why can't you go further? I'm constantly getting complaints and complaints here. , why, now you don’t even want to stay at home and have gone out to stay in a hotel. If you do this, you will live further and further away. "

He Hongmei smiled and said, "Why don't I feel this way?"

"By the time you feel this way, it's too late. It means that changes have already begun and cracks already exist. As long as there are cracks in feelings at the beginning, there will be no way to bridge the cracks. They will only get worse and worse. Big." Xiaofang said.

He Hongmei laughed, and she said to Zhang Chen: "Did you see it? Here we go again, the emotional expert."

Xiaofang stared at her: "I'm not an expert on emotions, I'm an expert on chemistry. However, the relationship between people is also a chemical relationship in the final analysis, and the principles are the same."

"Yao Mei, you should find someone to practice it first." He Hongmei said.

"I just think too clearly, so I don't look for it, or I haven't met anyone who will have a chemical reaction with me. Are you the same as me? I'll tell you, don't think that this kind of person is... You can encounter it casually, but the actual proportion is too low. When cracks occur or you miss it, it will be too late to regret it." Xiaofang said.

He Hongmei looked at Xiaofang and kept laughing. Xiaofang told her, "Don't laugh. As a female scientist, I am discussing a serious issue with you very seriously."

After a while, Xiaofang sighed and said, if you can't be together well, I will lose confidence in people.

He Hongmei stretched out her hand, took Xiaofang's hand, and said to her, okay, just to make Yaomei still have confidence in people, I promise you that we will be fine, even if there is no marriage.

"What are you without marriage?" Xiaofang asked, "A lifelong partner?"

"That's okay." He Hongmei said, "It would be awesome to be together for the rest of your life without marriage, just like Sartre and Beauvoir. Think about it, both of them are free and can leave at any time. But they didn’t leave, and they stayed together. Do you think their relationship is stronger than those who are married?”

"Ha, all of you who study art are really different. I don't understand you as a younger brother, and now I don't understand you either," Xiaofang said.

"What about him, this brother-in-law, do you know him?" He Hongmei pointed at Zhang Chen and asked Xiaofang.

Xiaofang looked at Zhang Chen and then at He Hongmei. She said nothing. She turned her head and looked out the window, pretending to be looking for Xiang Nan and Xiang Bei.

There are some things she can't say, especially she can't say them to He Hongmei.

Ever since she was a child, the first time she saw Zhang Chen and her sister together, she felt that they were so good. She liked watching the two of them leaning together and whispering. That look made her feel very sweet. , I felt that when these two people were talking and doing things together, it was like my left hand and right hand were together, so harmonious and beautiful.

It really made her feel like she would never tire of it.

When she was a child, her favorite thing was to see her sister and brother-in-law together like this. She looked around and felt that she had never seen any other man and woman who could make her feel warm like this when they were together. .

Can she say such things to He Hongmei?

She can tell her that in fact, she has not found a boyfriend for so many years. It is these scenes that have erected a fence in front of her to keep those people out. She has never lacked suitors, but The reason why she didn't accept any of them was that she felt that she wouldn't have such a warm feeling when she was with them.

She wanted He Hongmei and Zhang Chen to be together, mostly because she wanted this warmth to return.
