Courtyard No. 33, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street.
Small dance hall.
There is an old gramophone on the table in the corner of the room, which is playing a piece of music from Spain. The tune is soothing and rhythmic.
On the small stage at the back, under Yang Liangjie's stern eyes, Chu Heng clumsily danced with Sun Meiliu hugging each other. If there was a slight mistake, he was greeted by a ruler with strong wind!
So far, he has been dancing continuously for three hours, and has received thirty strokes at least, but his dancing skills have also continued to grow exponentially.
Although his hands and feet still seemed to match each other, at least he had memorized the basic movements. Although the dance posture was stiff and ugly, he no longer stepped on his partner's feet.
Sun Meiliu is indeed the dance partner specially selected for him by the superiors, and her dancing skills are really impeccable.
The dance is gentle and elegant, yet charming, and every movement is just right, without losing the standard, just like a textbook.
She danced lightly to the music, one palm gently resting on Chu Heng's hand, while the other palm slipped from his deltoid muscle to the male dog's waist due to fatigue.
Touching her strong waist, she raised her head with a smile, gazing at the handsome face of Chi Chi, the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, her serious expression, and her outrageously strong hormones
The breath gave her the illusion that this person was not in front of her, but on her body...
"oops!"
While thinking wildly, Sun Meiliu rarely stepped on the wrong foot, and stepped hard on the left foot of Chu Heng, who had worn a double-layer sole for comfort.
"hiss!"
The severe pain from his big toe made Chu Heng's cheeks twitch involuntarily, and the sweat on his forehead became even more intense.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I got distracted, are you okay?" Sun Meiliu let go of him with a red face, her pretty face with a beauty mark full of apologies.
"It's okay, it's a small problem. Let's continue." What else could Chu Heng say? He forced a smile and gestured for her to come up.
"Okay, let's take a rest and go eat first."
Before Sun Meiliu could go up, Yang Liangjie looked at the time and stopped them.
The two people and Han Xiping, who was sitting next to him and rubbing his legs, felt as if they were being pardoned, and they all let out a long sigh of relief.
"Hey, baby."
Chu Heng wailed and sat on the ground regardless of his appearance, quickly loosened the leggings on his calves, and used both hands to knead his sore calves.
"Hey, you're quite well prepared." Han Xiping smiled and picked up the straps he threw aside. After looking at it for a few times, he said with a grimace: "No, I have to make one when I go back today. I'm like this
My legs can no longer bear it, and they feel like they are about to break."
"Brother, do your feet still hurt? Why don't you take off your shoes and I'll rub them for you." Sun Meiliu came to Chu Heng and squatted down, teasing him with a smile.
Women are no worse than men when they act like gangsters!
Chu Heng, who was rubbing his legs, rolled his eyelids when he heard this, stretched out his legs directly in front of this "big" sister who always liked to joke with him, raised his chin, and said with a smile: "Come on then, Sister Mei Liu, remember to use it."
Have some energy."
"Hey, you guys really dare to send it here!"
Sun Meiliu raised her hand and slapped his foot, staring with almond-shaped eyes and said: "Let a beautiful lady rub your feet, you know this is very ungentlemanly?"
"Hey, you!" Chu Heng called out, then turned to Han Xiping and said, "Hey, Sister Xiping, have you ever seen someone who praises her beauty? Let's not talk about whether Sister Meiliu is beautiful or not.
She’s beautiful, and she has such a thick skin, which is first-rate!”
"Haha, I think so. How can anyone say that he is good-looking?" Han Xiping pointed at Sun Meiliu with a smile.
"Who do you think is thick-skinned? Isn't it time to deal with it?" Sun Meiliu immediately gave up. After kicking Chu Heng, she ran towards Han Xiping.
"Okay, stop making trouble, hurry up and eat, don't waste our precious time!"
At this time, Yang Liangjie frowned and stopped laughing at them, turned around and walked out quickly.
Chu Heng and the others hurriedly packed up and followed.
This old man is not an ordinary person. He was an ambassador to foreign countries before he retired. He also studied abroad in Cambridge when he was young. Many leaders in the ministry have worked under him, and he is not someone they can offend.
After the four of them came out of the ballroom, they went straight to the guard room.
At this time, the driver Shi Lihang was playing chess enthusiastically with the concierge. When he saw them coming in, he put down the chess pieces with a smile, stood up and said, "Is it done? The pot has just boiled. Give me the lunch box, and I'll heat it up for you.
hot."
"What lunch box?"
Chu Heng looked at Yang Liangjie and others in astonishment as they took out their lunch boxes from their bags, and said in surprise: "No, why don't you, a large company like yours, not provide meals?"
Why is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so stingy?
"What are you thinking about? There are not many people in this place now, where is the canteen? Don't tell me you didn't bring food!" Shi Lihang looked at him speechlessly.
"No one told me to bring food!" Chu Heng said with a bitter face.
Uncle Xie is too unreliable!
The world is huge, and eating is the biggest thing. You have forgotten such an important thing!
"It's okay. Sister Hui will give it to you later, but don't forget to pay it back tomorrow. I borrowed a wotou and paid back one and a half, you know." At this time, Sun Meiliu came over with a lunch box and patted him on the shoulder.
Yang Liangjie also said calmly: "Let's give it to each of you. The task in the afternoon is quite heavy. If you don't eat enough, you won't have the energy to study."
"Okay, it just so happens that I brought a little more today." Han Xiping responded with a smile.
"Don't worry, this afternoon won't be easy. If you share it with me, everyone won't be able to eat enough." Chu Heng was quite moved, but he still refused their kindness.
Because there is less oil and water, people at this time, regardless of gender, have large appetites. It is good to be able to eat the food you bring, so how can you share the excess?
"I'd better go out and buy some. It just so happens that I'll treat you all to a meal today to thank you for all the hard work you've done for me. Don't eat just yet and wait for me to come back."
With that said, Chu Heng hurriedly called Shi Lihang, left the guard room, got in his car and went straight to the nearest state-owned hotel.
When he arrived at the place, he waved his hand and ordered four dishes, three meat and one vegetarian, plus twenty large white flour steamed buns, which cost more than ten yuan!
Shi Lihang, who didn't stop him, looked at the service staff who went to the kitchen after looking for money, and said to Chu Heng in a dumbfounded voice: "You don't need to do this. Everyone is here for work and for the country. This... this is too expensive!"
"Of course, there are so many people working just for me, so I feel really bad if they don't do anything." Chu Heng smiled and took out the cigarette and handed it over, then asked: "Hey, can I have something to drink at noon? Such a good dish.
It would be a shame not to have a drink."
"As long as it doesn't delay work, it's okay to drink less. But I have to buy the wine, so I can't let you spend money." Shi Lihang licked his lips, took out the money from his pocket, and found the waiter.
Since he didn't bring a drink ticket, he could only buy bulk wine, so he ran back to the car to get a marching canteen filled with water and filled a large jug.
