Chapter 115 Old Man Xu’s Request

Chen Xiao was so stunned that he couldn't help but stare at Xiao Qing. The way he stared at Xiao Qing made Xiao Qing a little shy. He turned his head slightly. He wanted to blame Chen Xiao, but when he said that, he couldn't say a word.

There was only one voice in my heart: Isn’t it just for him to dress like this?

"Chen Xiao."

Finally, someone came to break the embarrassment. From a distance, Old Man Xu saw Chen Xiao, laughed happily, waved to Chen Xiao, and made a gesture to let him go.

Chen Xiao glanced at Xiao Qing, and then the two walked towards there together. Ji Ji also stood up obediently and followed Chen Xiao.

"Uncle Xu, happy birthday, good fortune as the East China Sea, and longevity as the South Mountain." Chen Xiao walked to the old man Xu and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm rude. I saw you busy just now, so I didn't dare to come first."

Old Man Xu seemed to like this young man Chen Xiao very much, and smiled: "I have seen you a long time ago. There are so many beautiful women around you, and they have become the focus of tonight."

As he said that, he deliberately looked at Je and Xiao Qing beside Chen Xiao with a playful look. Xiao Qing's family is a family friend of the Xu family. Seeing this scene, he honestly and respectfully said a few greetings.

Old Man Xu finally looked at Ji Yi, but his eyes were full of interest: "Well, this little girl is what Yifan said... that Ji Yi?"

In addition to curiosity, there was a hint of other meaning in Old Man Xu's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just turned around and took the wine glass from the waiter's hand, and everyone clinked the glass.

Chen Xiao was a little embarrassed: "Uncle Xu. I came empty-handed today and didn't prepare any gifts for you."

Old Man Xu smiled heartily: "I think you are like your own children. We don't pay attention to these false gifts. If you can come, it's great to have a glass of wine."

Chen Xiao was not artificial, and just drank it all in one go.

Originally, he was a poor boy now and had no money. The Xu family was rich and powerful. If the tycoon-level figure like Old Man Xu lived his birthday, there were naturally a lot of people who gave him all kinds of precious gifts. As for Chen Xiao... With his current financial resources, even if he bought anything in the bankruptcy, he might not be able to get the eyes of the Xu family. Since that's the case, it's better not to buy it.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Then... Uncle Xu, this year will be like last year. Since I couldn't give you any gifts, I'll go to the kitchen to make you a birthday noodles with my own hands... Haha, I didn't make it well last year, but now I've been practicing for a whole year."

Old Man Xu laughed. But Ji next to him suddenly said with a naive look on his face: "Yes, the noodles made by Chen Xiao are the most delicious."

Lu Bancheng next to him also exchanged a few greetings, and was very polite to Chen Xiao in his words.

But Chen Xiao noticed that since he came over, the four-person suit under Phoenix next to him had been silent. The four of them stood aside and looked at them with a strange look.

In particular, Chen Xiao noticed a detail: When the four people saw Xiao Qing, it was obvious that the four people showed surprise and shock at the same time, but others did not notice it. So they quickly covered up the past.

However, the four people secretly glanced at Xiao Qing with curious eyes from time to time. The glances around like this were naturally impolite, which made Xiao Qing's face gradually look a little ugly, and she only regarded the four people as a role like a disciple.

Could it be... these four Phoenix's subordinates have never met Xiao Qing?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao deliberately looked at the four people politely: "Uncle Xu, these gentlemen are..."

Old Man Xu smiled: "It's also my distinguished guests." Old Man Xu seemed reluctant to say more, and smiled politely at the four of them: "Four. I'll tell some private conversations with the juniors at home. I'll lose my companion first."

The four nodded and didn't say much. But they still couldn't help but glance at Xiao Qing.

However, the tallest of the four people seemed to be the leader. After gently pulling their companions, he said, "Mr. Xu, please do whatever you want. Let's have some wine."

Old man Xu accused Lu Bancheng again. Lu Bancheng guessed what they said, and smiled and said, "I happened to see where the little girl went crazy. I haven't seen her for a long time, so don't cause any trouble with you."

He left as he said that.

"Let's go, Chen Xiao, let's go to the kitchen together." Old man Xu looked at Chen Xiao with a smile, with a kind look.

This is the routine between the two.

Last year, Old Man Xu celebrated his birthday, and Chen Xiao's family was already in decline. However, Old Man Xu had no idea why, he especially liked the young man in a difficult family brought back by his son. Chen Xiao had no money to give any valuable gifts - the gifts that others gave were worthless, so you are embarrassed to spend dozens of dollars to buy a bouquet of flowers and come here.

Therefore, since Chen Xiao has no money, he can only think more.

Last year, Chen Xiao made a bowl of birthday noodles for Old Man Xu. His cooking skills were originally very ordinary, but unexpectedly, Old Man Xu was very happy after eating it. And looking at his appearance, he definitely didn't seem to pretend to be deliberately. After such a business tycoon, a hint of true feelings flashed in his eyes after eating Chen Xiao's noodles, which made people feel a little surprised.

So the two agreed that every year Old Man Xu celebrated his birthday, Chen Xiao would come to make him a bowl of birthday noodles. Chen Xiao respected the old man of the Xu family in his heart. Of course, he would never refuse such a request.

However, there is one thing: making noodles is OK, but you can only make one for Old Man Xu.

First of all, Chen Xiao knew his cooking skills, so the Xu family naturally hired a chef to make delicious food far more than he did. In front of the level he made, he really didn't dare to take it out for everyone to eat. I don't know why Old Man Xu liked it so much. Is this tycoon Xu different from ordinary people?

Secondly, Old Man Xu celebrates his birthday. The house is full of guests. If Chen Xiao really wants to make noodles for all the guests, then he will not do anything this night and just stay in the kitchen and be busy...

Chen Xiao looked at Old Man Xu and smiled slightly: "Uncle Xu, will you go now?"

"Of course it's now. I'm afraid I can't get away even if I want to." Old Man Xu sighed.

Di Yi and Xiao Qing next to him were both curious. However, Old Man Xu glanced at the two girls and smiled slightly, his eyes full of the old man's worldly style, and said with a faint smile: "Two girls, can you lend me Chen Xiao for a while? I have something to talk to him alone, so you don't have to follow me."

Even though Xiao Qing was a little reluctant, she was embarrassed to say anything. And Ji Ji glanced at Chen Xiao. Seeing Chen Xiao nodding, she was so obedient that she stopped talking.

Old Man Xu is an old and virgin. He saw that there was a trace of concern in Chen Xiao's eyes, as if he was worried that Ji Ji would be alone, and smiled. He raised his hand and summoned a middle-aged man like an assistant under his subordinate, pointed at Ji Ji and said, "Take good care of this girl and don't let someone bully her! If someone dares to do anything here, just throw it on the road."

Xiao Qing couldn't help but smile, "No need to do this. With me here, you won't be bullied by someone."

"Yes, I almost forgot about our female heroine Xiao." Old Man Xu laughed, then hugged Chen Xiao's shoulders and headed all the way to the kitchen in the mansion.

The kitchen of the Xu family’s luxury house is naturally different. Although it is not as big as the kitchen in the backcourt of a luxurious hotel, the area is many times larger than that of ordinary people’s kitchens.

Today is Old Man Xu's birthday party, so there are naturally many hired chefs in the kitchen. After Chen Xiao and Old Man Xu came to the kitchen, the person in charge of the place was stunned. Old Man Xu waved his hand and gave a few simple words. After a while, everyone quickly retreated and left the huge kitchen to the old and the young.

"Here. There are everything here, you can do whatever you want." Old Man Xu laughed. But he took off his suit and threw it next to the desk next to him. He twisted the two buttons on the shirt inside and rolled up his sleeves: "I'll cut the onions for you."

In the Xu family's kitchen, all the ingredients are naturally prepared and kitchen utensils are available. Chen Xiao immediately rolled up his sleeves and became busy.

The old man cut the green onions and he cooked noodles - cooking noodles is an indispensable skill for a man who lives alone. Chen Xiao was very skilled in his movements and soon made a pot of noodles.

Put it in a bowl, sprinkle a little chopped green onion, and drip two drops of sesame oil, which makes the fragrance swell. After Chen Xiao sprinkled a little sesame seeds into the noodles bowl, the old man Xu next to him had already started drooling.

Just such a simple bowl of plain noodles, without delicacies, made Old Man Xu's eyes change a little.

This richest man in K City actually took out a bag of pickles from the refrigerator like a magic trick!

Chen Xiao took a look - yes, it's really just ordinary pickles! The dignified real estate tycoon actually likes to eat this?

But seeing Old Man Xu's face was moved, he pulled out two ivory chopsticks with his fingers tremblingly. Then, in less than ten minutes, he ate a large bowl of noodles like a wind and clouds, as if he was not happy. He chewed pickles in his mouth and drank half a bowl of noodles soup.

He held ivory chopsticks, carried Patafil on his wrist, and a DG shirt on his body - but at this moment, Chen Xiao seemed to have read it wrong, and the old man in front of him seemed to have become many ordinary old men in the K-market who ate noodles at roadside noodle stalls at night.

After eating the noodles, Old Man Xu was already sweating profusely. He lit a cigarette and handed Chen Xiao one. Chen Xiao did not refuse and lit it openly and took a sip.

"Very good, very good!" The old man touched his stomach comfortably while smoking: "It's this smell!"

As he said that, he glanced at Chen Xiao: "You must be very strange. You want to ask me, right?"

"Of course I was strange." Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "I asked myself that the cooking skills were average, I really didn't expect you to..."

"Tsk, what kind of cooking skills are average, your cooking skills are simply bad." Old Man Xu's eyes were joking: "To be honest, you make ground noodles, but the taste is not as good as the roadside noodle stall."

Chen Xiao was stunned: "Then...why..."

"But I just like to eat... Alas, I just like the taste of you." Old Man Xu shook his head. There was an indescribable affection in his eyes, looking around the luxurious kitchen around him.

After he smoked half of a cigarette, he directly put it out, shook his head and sighed: "I'm old, don't smoke too much cigarettes. Alas, actually... Chen Xiao, let's just talk casually, hum. I'm too lazy to deal with the guests outside today. I'm not living for myself all year round. Today, I'm going to live a good day for myself on my birthday. Today, I don't care about the guests outside, old man!"

He actually moved a chair and sat down.

Then, he looked at Chen Xiao's eyes: "You should know that I am not from K City, right?"

"...Well, I know." Chen Xiao nodded.

"I am from the north." Old Man Xu smiled slightly: "When I was young, I came to K City, but I didn't expect to take root here. In a blink of an eye, I can't even speak my hometown dialect, and I'll start to speak the local dialect of K City."

"I came to City K at the age of fifteen and worked as an apprentice in a factory. At that time, I met Yifandi's mother, who was my later wife." When Old Man Xu said this, hesitated and lit a cigarette for himself. This time, hesitated and slapped himself again.

Seeing that Old Man Xu mentioned his wife, Chen Xiao stopped talking because he knew that Xu Ershao's mother had passed away for many years.

"When I was young, I suffered a lot. I couldn't explain it clearly in one sentence." Old Man Xu's eyes shone with a strange light: "Now, it's considered a success, but living in a magnificent house with rich clothes and food, I feel less at ease than before. I often feel like walking on thin ice!"

He looked at Chen Xiao: "My wife often cooked noodles for me back then... Unfortunately, she was not good at cooking, and she could only cook the simplest vegetarian noodles. At most, add an egg on top and occasionally add a large piece of rice, which is already very rare, haha!" He said this, he paused and smiled, "Why do I like the noodles you make? Boy, it's not because you make delicious...but when you make ground noodles, it's almost as bad as my wife's! Hahahaha..."

Chen Xiao didn't say anything. Although he was teased by Old Man Xu, he did not smile because Chen Xiao looked at Old Man Xu's eyes, there was a hint of wetness.

"If you like it, I will make noodles for you every day in the future." Chen Xiao thought for a while and said slowly.

"It's okay." Old Man Xu was free and easy: "It's okay to do it occasionally. If you are nostalgic every day, it will become pretentious. From now on, every year on my birthday, you can make me noodles."

"This is no problem." Chen Xiao smiled.

Old Man Xu waved his hand: "Okay! I won't talk about reminiscing about the past. Now I'll tell you something serious."

Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel moved!

"Actually, you've always been a little confused." Old Man Xu smiled slightly: "How can I know those old guys on the unfinished street? Also, why do those psychics come to deal with me? Although I am rich, I'm just a secular rich man. How could I mess with those people? You've always been very strange, right?"

Before Chen Xiao could speak, Old Man Xu immediately shook his head: "It's a pity that I'm not convenient to tell you about these things."

Isn’t it a waste of time to say “…………”

Old Man Xu laughed, but then he restrained his smile and said seriously: "Chen Xiao, I never thought you would go on this path... Alas, in fact, you just live simply, just like the previous two years, wouldn't it be great? When your studies are over in the future, I will naturally not ignore you, and you are also very smart, young and willing to study, and willing to endure hardships. In the future, I will arrange a good future for you, and you will live like thousands of ordinary people. Wouldn't it be the best? Why... Why do you have to be like now?"

Chen Xiao thought for a while: "Actually, Uncle Xu, I am a person with no ambitions. I never want to do anything to stand out. I am very lazy at heart. When I was working in a fast food restaurant a few days ago, I thought... In the future, if I could open a fast food restaurant and be a small boss, I would actually be good to live like this."

Old Man Xu was stunned for a moment, his face a little strange: "Fast food restaurant owner...hehe!"

However, he waved his hand quickly, stared at Chen Xiao, with a serious expression: "Chen Xiao, I will ask you something, are you willing to leave City K?"

Leaving City K?

What's the meaning?

Old Man Xu sighed and said slowly, "Is Kidd College? Although it is a prestigious school, it is made of money and is flashy. You are not young anymore. I am planning to send Xu Yifan to study abroad. If you want, go with him. How about tuition? You don't have to worry about it. I know that your child is very proud and refuses to receive gifts. If you feel that you can't get over it, then just lend it to you. After you graduate, you will pay it back slowly. If you still feel embarrassed and pay it back to you when you pay it back, you can calculate the interest at the same time?"

Leave City K? Go abroad to study?!
