The female mayor did not expect to meet Xiao Kedong at the Capital Airport. It was obvious that Xiao Kedong did not come to pick him up on purpose. He had just returned to Beijing from a business trip, but this coincidence made her feel a little uneasy. She knew that this was not specially arranged by Xiao Kedong.
He is ten times busier than her, and with his personality and personality, he would never do such a boring thing.
Then why was she uneasy? Because she still didn't want to get too close to him, but she couldn't distance herself. Xiao Kedong's face still exuded that low-key brilliance. Seeing that the female mayor was a little absent-minded, he immediately suggested, "Let's do this.
Let me take you to eat an old sandwich. Let me tell you first that I am not playing the nostalgic card, but I am really not used to eating the food there during this time in the South, and my mouth and stomach are empty."
The female mayor is a little unnatural. She has been too tired and overworked in Zhongzhou City recently, so she is a little weak and even a little airsick.
"Well, it's okay to go eat, but didn't that old man quit his job? The shop is gone?"
Xiao Kedong smiled and said, "I left you with a suspense last time. The old man does not open a small restaurant anymore, but now he has opened a supermarket in the alley of the school. The supermarket is not big or small. I told him that he will open it at any time.
Ask him to eat an old sandwich. You also know that it is not complicated to make, it can be done in a while."
The female mayor had no choice but to follow, after all, this was by no means a bad thing for her. She always felt that something was missing when she left Tang Lin this time. She didn't remember it when she didn't see Xiao Kedong, but seeing Xiao Kedong suddenly triggered her
Thinking. This time she and Tang Lin lacked the normal life between men and women. This time she only had a night of fun with her man in the provincial military compound on the first night when she went back. After that...
She hates her body a little. Why does she still subconsciously care about her man after he suffered such a serious injury? Is she really a natural-born woman?
She looked out the window with some self-mockery. She was sitting in the passenger seat, and Xiao Kedong drove the car himself. It was not a bus, but his own Buick sedan. The car was not new, it was at least six or seven years old. If you don't know him
People would never believe that a young upstart with a prominent position like him would get out of an ordinary Buick Regal sedan.
He is a little older than the female mayor, so he cannot be called a young man, but compared to his position, he is definitely young, and the word "nouveau riche" must be added to the end.
Although the car is a bit old, Xiao Kedong has obviously maintained it very well, and it looks no different from the new one. This is his character. He is quite serious and careful in everything he does, but at the same time he never loses the dominance and courage of a man. That's why Jiujing City is the only one in the world.
So many maidens were looking at him eagerly and longing for him. He rarely showed his emotions to others, and this junior sister in the co-pilot was a special case.
He had just received a call from a disguised blind date. The people who were qualified to match him must be some big shots, so it was not easy to reject them all outright. Besides, they didn't give any clues, they just used some activities and occasions to meet.
That's it. He didn't shy away from the female mayor when he answered the phone, so the female mayor heard it more clearly, and the female mayor didn't know what it was like. She also asked Xiao Kedong why he didn't choose a good one to get married, and Xiao Kedong gave her a big answer.
The answer made her even more uneasy. Xiao Kedong said that maybe she was waiting for someone, or maybe she was too busy at work and didn't have the energy.
"As long as I don't get married, I will receive such kind calls at least three to five times a month, haha," Xiao Kedong joked relaxedly. The female mayor was taken aback, "This shows that you are very popular, even though it has nothing to do with your status and future.
It has something to do with it, but I still think those big shots are interested in you first."
Xiao Kedong was also stunned by what she said, "Little junior sister, why are you so serious all the time? We are not in a meeting now. Forget it, don't think about those things. Are you exhausted when you return to Zhongzhou this time? Fortunately, Tang Lin and
You're all safe and sound, and the project you've been obsessed with has started smoothly, right?"
The female mayor was still a little touched. In any case, her senior brother treated her very well. People knew that she had a boyfriend now, so they never deliberately forced her into anything, let alone made her embarrassed or embarrassed. Now she is here
The capital party school training was originally about asking for help from others. But now, people are always running around and selling favors for her. She is a person who knows how to repay her kindness. Even if she knows that this senior brother has not given up on her, he has feelings for her.
She wants to PK Tang Lin, but what can she say at this moment?
This is not cowardice or cowardice. The debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay.
Xiao Kedong drove fast and steadily. Although he could not match the absolute confidence Tang Lin gave her, it could definitely make her feel at ease. Her body finally recovered a little and she felt much better. Then they arrived at the place called the guest again.
At the supermarket, I quickly met the old man making old sandwiches.
The old man actually recognized Huang Ying and immediately reached out to shake her hand. He was also very excited and said, "I said that you two will definitely get together in the end. Wait, the materials will be prepared in the morning. I will go and make it for you now.
Don’t think this place is shabby.”
This is a supermarket, of course, not a restaurant. The place where they sit is where the old man usually eats. But the old man’s misunderstanding made the female mayor even more uneasy. She couldn’t explain it well, and explaining would hurt Xiao Kedong.
To save face. Who would have thought that Xiao Kedong would take the initiative to explain himself, "Old man, you still misunderstood. Now my junior sister does have a boyfriend, but it's not me. Do you think I'm miserable?"
The old man was a little surprised when he heard this, but he soon smiled meaningfully, "You guys, the green mountains are still flowing, and the water is still flowing. Anyway, I am still optimistic about you..."
After saying that, he went straight to his small kitchen. The female mayor had to find something to say, otherwise the atmosphere would have been awkward, "Brother, you said my old man's craftsmanship is so good, why don't he continue to sell sandwiches?" Xiao Kedong replied seriously.
, "Well, I actually asked about this. The old man said that fewer and fewer people are nostalgic, and they all go to eat foreign fast food. Besides, he has to get up very early every day and go to the vegetable market to buy the freshest ingredients. He also feels a little tired.
, he also said that the best materials are getting harder and harder to buy, and he will not raise prices. Students are not rich to begin with, so they just opened a supermarket to make ends meet."
There was a tacit silence between the two of them. They were both thinking about something. Then they looked at each other and immediately understood that they were thinking about the same thing, that is, time flies so fast. They were still in their prime back then.
The old man's hair has turned gray now and his back has begun to hunch, and his speech is not as confident as before. People like them are very busy and tired and need to consider and worry about too many people and things, so they rarely have time to spend
Remembrance and memories. Now it is Xiao Kedong who has given the female mayor this rare opportunity. If she were not worried that the two of them would be too close, she would really like to go back to the campus of her alma mater while eating old sandwiches. How long has it been since she came back?
Her alma mater held different reunions every year, but she never came back once. She thought Xiao Kedong would at least go back to participate, but Xiao Kedong said that he only declined once but gave a 20-minute keynote speech to the new students.
Those who keep a low profile are not willing to participate in such things. But if the person is in that position, the favor must be there. When the favor is there, you have to do some things even if you don't like it.
When he returned to his alma mater to give a speech, it was definitely a return to his hometown in glory, but he was not excited and was extremely low-key. Come and leave quickly. Because he is still in the real period of rising, he will lose a lot when he gets power. Life is like this, life
This is true, and this is even truer with work. Gaining success in this world requires giving up and being willing to replace it. Pie-in-the-sky things will not happen.
Xiao Kedong is very similar to Tang Lin, that is, they are both men who never believe in miracles. They believe in their own minds and fists more than in the distant and elusive miracles.
"Eat it while it's hot. It's delicious if you eat it while it's hot!" The old man has already made the old sandwich. The old sandwich is eaten right after it is made. It is still a little hot inside. When you take a bite, it is chewy and has a pungent taste.
It still tasted the same as before, it didn't change at all, it became just the old man and the two of them.
There was sweat on the old man's forehead, so he wiped it with a white towel. He happily sat next to him and watched the two young people eating, his eyes and heart seemed to be full of satisfaction and happiness.
"If young people are as promising as you two, we will soon become a world power."
Both of them were stunned, not quite understanding what the old man meant, but the old man smiled enigmatically, "You think I don't know what you two are doing now? I know everything, I just don't say it... forget it.
Well, let’s talk about it. In fact, my son stayed in school to become a teacher, and he is your junior brother, so I know..."
The two of them were very emotional after hearing this. No wonder the old man was hanging around this school. It turns out that this school has been the whole life of the old man's wishes and efforts.
"Yes, uncle, you said before that you would let your son study here in the future. I didn't expect that your dream has come true. We really have to congratulate you." The female mayor also smiled happily on her face, and the past events unfolded.
came to mind again.
"Junior sister, how about we go for a walk in the school after eating? A lot of things have changed, even digestion." Xiao Kedong opposite suddenly made this request. The female mayor didn't know how to refuse when Xiao Kedong
The phone call saved him. He answered the call and left immediately. He had no choice but to be independent no matter how long he was in a high position.
The female mayor looked at his back as he got into the car and left, her eyes a little dazed. At this time, the old man asked her with a smile, "My son said that this classmate Xiao is the pride of the whole school. I don't know how old he is, but I think he is quite good."
Reliable, you...why don't you marry him?"
The female mayor shook her head sadly, "Fate does not necessarily mean marriage, there are other things, old man."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then felt that he was a little out of character, and quickly apologized, which made the female mayor feel embarrassed, "Old man, actually... I met a man who is 11 years younger than me. He is a retired soldier, and I... like him very much.
