I just said that I couldn't make a reservation for the "Light of the North", but then the hotel took the initiative to deliver it! Moreover, it also claimed that it was for distinguished guests!
"Okay, thank your boss for me."
After Zhang Ruoxin was stunned for a short time, a slightly proud look appeared on his face.
He didn't think much about it and directly thought that this so-called distinguished guest was himself.
"I didn't expect my Ruoxin to know the boss here." Li Yanping said with a smile, "Next time we come here, please remember to tell the boss to serve more signature dishes like this."
These words are full of nonsense both inside and outside of them. .??.
"I booked the box in the name of Case Energy. Maybe the boss wants to get closer to the Case Group." Zhang Ruoxin smiled lightly, sounding quite modest, and looked at it without leaving any trace.
Lin Ran glanced at it.
In his opinion, this round finally brought some gains.
However, Li Qiushui didn't show much admiration for him, which made Zhang Ruoxin feel a little disappointed.
"Let's eat it while it's hot." Zhang Licheng seemed to be in a good mood. He picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, then showed a surprised look.
"This high-altitude cattle breed that grows in the snow-capped mountains is really extraordinary. Moreover, the way this chef cooks it is really special!"
Li Yanping took a bite and said with a satisfied smile: "Thanks to Ruoxin, we can eat such delicious food."
Lin Ran also tasted it. The taste was slightly familiar, which made him look thoughtful.
"Lin Ran, don't you comment on this dish?" Zhang Ruoxin smiled and asked.
"It's okay." Lin Ran said concisely.
"Is it that simple?" Zhang Ruoxin said with a smile, "It seems that Brother Lin Ran has eaten a lot of limited edition dishes before. Such an amazing snow-capped mountain fat beef has only received such an ordinary evaluation in Brother Lin's mouth."
Faced with this man holding a gun and a stick, Lin Ran smiled nonchalantly: "It's not that I eat too often, but it may be that you eat too little."
Li Yanping smiled faintly and put down her chopsticks: "Xiao Lin, what do you do? You seem to have a very high level of vision."
Of course, her "high vision" here can probably be equated to the meaning of "showing off".
"I am a teacher at Ningzhou University." Lin Ran said, "I have only been working for two months. "
"The salary of a university teacher is very average, right? Maybe there aren't many opportunities to eat limited-edition dishes?" Li Yanping asked again with a smile, hiding a knife in her smile.
"Although it is my first time to eat at Fengyuan Building, I am very familiar with this kind of snow-capped mountain bison. I have eaten it often before." Lin Ran smiled lightly, as if he didn't mind the sarcasm in the other person's words at all.
He really wasn't bragging in what he said.
This high-altitude cattle breed is very rare in plain areas, but it is really common on the border! It is not a rare species!
It's just that the labor and logistics costs of bringing this kind of cattle down from the snow-capped mountains are too high, which gives this dish a super high added value!
"You used to eat it often?"
After hearing this, Zhang Ruoxin and his mother Li Yanping looked at each other, and both of them smiled contemptuously, obviously not believing what Lin Ran said.
Li Yuanhe, on the other hand, showed a thoughtful expression, with a flash of memory in his eyes.
Zhang Ruoxin's father, Zhang Licheng, only served in the coastal defense force when he was young and had never seen the snow-capped mountains in the north. Naturally, he had no idea about this kind of alpine bison.
Zhang Licheng asked with a smile: "Xiao Lin, which army did you serve in before? What's your rank?"
Military rank?
After hearing this, Lin Ran hesitated slightly.
If his true military rank was revealed, would everyone here have to stand up and salute him?
Seeing Lin Ran's hesitation, Zhang Ruoxin smiled and said: "Haha, you're not even a second lieutenant, are you?"
Li Yuanhe had served in the frontline army for many years, and he couldn't bear to hear such a statement. He put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhang Ruoxin, and said seriously: "Ruoxin, in the army, every soldier is indispensable.
Even an ordinary private deserves everyone's respect."
"Sorry, Uncle Li, I was rude." Zhang Ruoxin smiled and changed the topic, "But this does not mean that all soldiers are good people."
Li Yuanhe said nothing more, but Zhang Ruoxin's words made his rating in Lao Li's heart drop to the lowest point.
Even if his daughter wants to be with Zhang Ruoxin, he will be determined
be opposed to!
"you……"
Li Qiushui looked at the expressions of Zhang Ruoxin's family and already understood that in their eyes, Lin Ran was just an ordinary soldier.
"It's a pity that last time, the thirty fighter planes from Beiye collectively saluted Lin Ran, but they were not seen by them." Li Qiushui thought regretfully in his heart.
She just opened her mouth to defend Lin Ran, but all she heard was Lin Ran said: "Qiu Shui, there's no need to argue about this, it's not important."
Li Yuanhe looked at his daughter's boyfriend, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt angry.
Although this man is very young, he has an air of "water helps all things without fighting for it". This kind of temperament is hard to find in today's young people.
Zhang Licheng looked at Lin Ran, smiled, and said: "Xiao Lin, I am considered an elder and have met many people. To be honest, young people, it is better to be more modest."
"Oh? Uncle Zhang thinks I'm not humble enough?" Lin Ran laughed: "If compared with the Young Master, I think what I have done in this regard may be better."
Zhang Licheng smiled and said, "Really?"
Li Yanping said: "I really don't understand why some men are so ordinary but so confident? My Ruoxin is the president of Case Energy's Daxia branch. He is young and promising. His annual salary is probably nearly a hundred times yours. With his
Why should you be more humble than you?"
"Yanping, what you said is biased." Li Qiushui's mother Chen Ling said, "In our society, money is not the only criterion for measuring success."
"But it must be the most important one." Li Yanping showed no sign of weakness, "If you don't have a good material foundation, how can you bring happiness to the other half?"
"Okay, let's change the topic. It's rare to get together today, so why make the atmosphere so unpleasant?" Li Yuanhe emphasized his tone slightly.
After hearing what he said, Li Yanping immediately stopped talking, but the unhappiness on her expression was very obvious.
"Yes, it's a rare meeting, so let's talk about the children's development." Zhang Licheng said with a smile.
It has to be said that these two couples worked very hard to bring Zhang Ruoxin and Li Qiushui together.
The starting point of wanting to find a good marriage for their son was correct. However, the problem was that they regarded Lin Ran as a stepping stone to express themselves. "Xiao Lin, we met for the first time, and we hit it off very well. Come, let's have a drink together."
Li Yuanhe saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he raised his glass first.
His words also showed his attitude of standing in support of his "son-in-law".
For some reason, Lin Ran always gave him a somewhat familiar feeling, but he couldn't tell where this familiarity came from.
"Uncle Li, it's my turn to respect you." Lin Ran said.
Their wine glasses touched together.
However, at this time, Li Yuanhe saw Lin Ran's hand holding the wine glass.
I also saw the crescent-shaped light red scar on the back of Lin Ran's hand.
It stands to reason that with Lin Ran's current strong recovery ability, the scar should have healed on its own long ago. However, this scar of his has been with him since he was a child. At most, it changed from bright red to light red, but it did not heal at all.
Shows no sign of disappearing.
Lin Ran didn't even remember when he received this injury.
However, this scar has become increasingly faded, and not many people know about it.
However, at this time, Li Yuanhe suddenly lost his composure.
His hand holding the wine glass was shaking a little, and the wine spilled from the edge of the glass!
Staring at the crescent-shaped light red scar, Li Yuanhe was speechless!
Everyone could see something was wrong with him!
Li Qiushui asked worriedly: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Uncle Li, what are you..."
Lin Ran raised his head and met Li Yuanhe's complex gaze of disbelief and excitement!
"You served in Beiye's special forces, right?" Li Yuanhe's voice trembled!
"Yes..." Lin Ran hesitated and said.
Li Yuanhe directly dropped the wine glass and held Lin Ran's hand with both hands: "Six years ago, the military inspection team was on its way to Beiye for a routine inspection and was attacked by a cross-border attack by Haider's special forces. At that time, I
He is the leader of the inspection team..."
After hearing this, Lin Ran finally reacted.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yuanhe's voice rose a lot, and the veteran's eyes were already red: "I am very sure now that it was you who saved us that time!"
