Chapter 40: The Meaning of a Dish
Although it is already midsummer now, Lingshi under the night sky gives people a feeling of early autumn and there is no trace of heat on their body.
Under the street lights, a middle-aged man and woman walked snuggly on the path paved with warm stones.
Liu Yuan stopped and Wei Chengdong beside him said, "What's wrong?"
During the walk, Liu Yuan clearly felt that Wei Chengdong's steps had sunk at this time. The short distance made the police chief unable to do so. His straight chest was a little hunched at this time. This was not what this age should have been, and his body was rapidly eroding.
It is not the years that erode him, but the promises in his heart, the promises of supremacy to his profession, the promises to sacrifice comrades, the promises to those who hold him, and the promises that I will no longer hurt my comrades.
A teardrop slid down the corner of Liu Yuan's eyes, "Old Wei, you are too tired, it's time to take a break."
Wei Chengdong laughed and said, "Yes, I will retire in a few years."
He gently lifted Liu Yuan's head curtain with his hand, and layers of white hair were under his black hair, "Aren't you too?"
Liu Yuan squeezed out a smile and said, "Now, as long as this child is well, I will be content."
"Yes, Teng Ying is a sensible child, I think she will come back." Then he said, "By the way, don't tell her about that."
Liu Yuan nodded slightly, "I will do the job of Tong Teng Ying as soon as possible, after all, the two elders' health is getting worse and worse, and it is extremely delayed."
Before she finished speaking, Liu Yuan's phone rang. It was a strange number from another place. In the past, Liu Yuan hung up such numbers, either by mistake or fraud. But today she hesitated for a moment and pressed the switch button, "Hey, who?"
"Are you Warden Liu Yuan?" asked there.
The voice Liu Yuan seemed familiar and asked, "I am, you are."
"Ah, I'm the village chief."
After hearing this, Liu Yuan remembered that this person was the village chief who sent the petition at that time, "Is there anything you have to do?"
"That's it..." Suddenly, Liu Yuan's face changed and he said, "Where is the child now?"
......
"Okay, okay, I understand, let's go there right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Wei Chengdong asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Yuan said: "Tingting's grandfather has passed away."
Wei Chengdong knew about Tingting's situation. His parents died early, so he was considered to be dependent on the elderly. Now that the elderly have passed away, Tingting has become an orphan. "I bought a train ticket."
"OK."
x. People came and went around at the door of the company. The passing people unconsciously turned their attention to Zhang Li standing at the door waiting. This has been here for several days in a row.
These days, Mr. Li has been evaporated like the world, and the phone can't be reached. Zhang Li can only wait, but now, not to mention Mr. Li's office, even Zhang Li can no longer enter the company's gate.
"Go back." The security guard advised.
"I must wait for Mr. Li." As he said that, he was about to walk into the company, but was stopped by the security guard, "Don't go."
"Don't stop me." After that, he continued to rush inside. The security guard was anxious and had already explained that if she was put in, her job would be ruined.
He stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Li's arm, then pulled it out the door, "I have no choice but to offend me."
Of course, Zhang Li would not surrender. She thought Mr. Li was in the office. At this time, several security guards came over to help and pushed Zhang Li out the door, "You let me go! You let me go!"
Everyone in the hall turned their attention to Zhang Li, but there was no fear or respect or even gloating. At this time, Zhang Li was just a clown in everyone's eyes.
Zhang Li kept struggling, and the security guard started to take action. A security guard grabbed Zhang Li's hair and pulled Zhang Li very savagely outside the door. The scene was chaotic.
Suddenly, a man in cleaning clothes rushed down and she pushed the security guard away, "What are you doing!"
Zhang Li looked like a man, his eyes widened. This man turned out to be his secretary, Shi Yao!
......
Restaurant
Shiyao rinsed the cup, first filled Zhang Li's wine glass, and then filled his own cup.
Zhang Li has been asking questions since she saw Shi Yao just now. Even if she is in any way, Shi Yao can't do cleaning in the company. "What's wrong with you? Is it because of me?"
Shiyao did not deny it. She raised her glass and said, "Sister, I'll toast you." After clinking the glass with Zhang Li, she drank it all and said, "I recognize it."
"What do you recognize? You are a top student and you are a cleaning student? You still agree!"
Shi Yao smiled helplessly, "You know that I am a commissioned by the company. Simply put, they are the only ones who fired me, but I can't fire them. I can't pay a huge liquidated damages."
"Then you can't let you do this! How can these people be so narrow-minded!"
"Hey, where are you doing it?" Then he joked: "Just wait until you are developed and come back to redeem me. I heard that my brother-in-law is a powerful person."
Hearing this, Zhang Li's face changed and Shi Yao said, "What's wrong with me?"
Zhang Li picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go, "It's nothing, we are not all the people."
"You won't break up, are you?"
Zhang Liqiang held back his tears and nodded. Shi Yao didn't persuade him, and raised his glass, "We are both a world of people now."
.....
The table was filled with beer bottles in a short while, and the people who came and went to see the two women who were laughing and crying strangely, not knowing what was happening to them.
Shi Yao stammered and said, "Sister, I have to say to you, why are you hanging from a tree? If you don't keep me, you will have a place to keep me." Then she gave a thumbs up, "You will be the one you can find at will!"
Zhang Li held his head with his hands and said, "I just want to get back what belongs to me."
"What's there? There are a lot of messes." Shi Yao said.
"I must go back! Get what I want, and return all that does not belong to me!"
Shi Yao shook her head helplessly and said, "I understand what you said, but the current situation wants to reverse unless a miracle happens." Then she picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, drink bar, and put all the troubles first."
Zhang Li also raised his wine glass and said excitedly: "Yes, what a worry to him!"
"That's what a fucking trouble."
Before I put down the wine glass, a very unstandard Mandarin sounded in my ears, "Two ladies, don't you recommend giving me a cup?"
The two looked at the visitor at the same time and said in unison: "Mr. Li!"
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li, who was not seen by the dragon, appeared in this cheap small restaurant.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Li asked.
Mr. Li did not answer, but asked the boss a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Zhang Li said, "Farewell, let's change the place, it's too shabby."
Mr. Li waved his hand and said, "No, I think it's very good here." As he said that, he just put a piece of dish in his mouth, then gave a thumbs up and said intoxicatedly: "good!"
"This is just an ordinary Kung Pao chicken." Zhang Li said.
"How much is this?"
"22 yuan." Zhang Li said embarrassedly.
"This dish is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. To put it bluntly, it will definitely be recognized in high-end hotels, its value will increase dozens of times, and it will also get some elegant names. But here it is a home-cooked dish, why?"
"Platform, he lacks a platform to display it, or an opportunity." Mr. Li refers to a dish, while Zhang Li's answer refers to being a human being, generally speaking.
Mr. Li nodded slightly and continued to ask, "So how valuable is this dish to you?"
When Zhang Li heard this, he said seriously: "It's big, very big."
"So you are willing to pay more for going to a high-end hotel and eating dishes that can be made in an ordinary small shop?"
Zhang Li understood what the price Mr. Li said was, "I do." Zhang Li answered without hesitation.
Mr. Li smiled in discomfort and said, "Why, isn't this a waste of money?"
"Because I don't care about its taste, but its value, the value that can sublimate me!"
Hearing this, Mr. Li stood up and looked at the environment on both sides, "Well, this place is really too low-end, it hurts the elegance." After that, he walked out the door.
Shi Yao couldn't understand what the two of them said, but seeing that Mr. Li was about to leave, she immediately said, "We can change places."
Mr. Li said, "Then bring this dish to my office." After saying that, he left. Shi Yao looked confused and stood there in a daze. Zhang Li immediately got up and followed him. Shi Yao also chased him out when she saw it. The boss was anxious when she saw it, "I haven't paid yet."
Zhang Li took out a large ticket from his pocket and was still on the table, "No need to look for it."
Shi Yao suddenly stopped and said, "Sister, Mr. Li doesn't say you're going to pack the dishes?"
