The big pot of pickled radish fish, red and green twice-cooked pork with garlic paste, and red spicy chicken cubes all look very tempting.
A familiar aroma filled the air.
Long Xiaoshan grabbed the chopsticks and said: "Let's start."
He picked up the vegetables and ate them with big mouthfuls. As he ate, he said, "It smells so good. I haven't had this taste in a long time."
Ling Ruotong stared blankly at Long Xiaoshan eating happily.
In the steaming mist of the dishes, she seemed to see the familiar figure from back then, also sitting across from her, devouring the food with big mouthfuls.
He must have been very poor at that time, and coming to Ermei's Restaurant was already a rare luxury for him.
He would only treat himself to a meal here when he was awarded a scholarship or received a prize from a certain competition.
Of course, more often than not, she used various lame excuses to invite Long Xiaoshan over for dinner.
Every time, Long Xiaoshan eats very happily and feels happy.
It’s probably because he wolfed down the food every time and tasted so delicious that I gradually fell in love with eating these three dishes.
"Miss Ling, why don't you eat?" Long Xiaoshan suddenly raised his head and asked.
Ling Ruotong was suddenly shocked, picked up the chopsticks and said, "I'll eat."
She picked up a chopstick of fish and put it in her mouth. The familiar sour taste was still there. Among the three dishes, her favorite was the sour radish fish. After eating a few bites, she wondered if it was because of the radish.
It was so sour that the tears in her eyes could no longer stop flowing.
When Long Xiaoshan saw Ling Ruotong crying, his heart trembled. At that moment, he really wanted to reveal his identity.
Finally he endured it.
Picked up a tissue and handed it over: "Miss Ling, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Ruotong took the tissue, wiped her eyes quickly and said, "Sorry, maybe it's too spicy."
Long Xiaoshan didn't expose her. The pickled radish fish Ling Ruotong just ate was obviously not spicy at all.
Ling Ruotong felt a little depressed.
The meal was finished in silence between the two of them.
Most of them were eaten by Long Xiaoshan, and Ling Ruotong only took a few bites.
After the meal, Long Xiaoshan paid the bill and walked out of the small restaurant with Ling Ruotong. Long Xiaoshan looked at the Shuimu Garden not far away and said, "Miss Ling, I want to go to the university for a walk, is that okay?"
Ling Ruotong was originally in a bad mood, but when she thought about where Long Xiaoshan was now, whether he had been released from prison, and where he was living after being released from prison, she lost her spirits.
I don’t want to stay in this sad place any longer.
But she remembered that she originally came to Longmen Pharmaceutical to discuss bidding and cooperation today, but she didn't say anything because she went to Ermei's restaurant to see things and miss her.
If she left like this, her trip would not have been in vain. The time for bidding was already very close, and she might not have a second chance to talk to Long Xiaoshan.
And she herself didn't want to have so frequent contact with Long Xiaoshan, because being with him always made her feel uneasy and gave her a sense of guilt.
So she nodded: "Okay, Director Long, Shuimu Garden is still very beautiful."
Long Xiaoshan didn't drive. It was only two or three hundred meters away from the gate of Shuimu University. The two of them walked over quickly.
Entered the university gate.
Long Xiaoshan looked at the quaint and quiet Shuimu Campus and felt lost. This was once his alma mater, but he was framed and imprisoned after less than a year of studying there.
Walking with Ling Ruotong on campus, those familiar scenes came back to my mind.
It's like going back more than three years ago.
Because she and Long Xiaoshan were walking together and because they had outstanding looks and looked like a couple, they often attracted attention, which made Ling Ruotong feel very embarrassed. After all, she was considered a celebrity in Shuimu.
He had just graduated, so he was easily recognized.
Ling Ruotong quickly talked about the bidding and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Hearing Ling Ruotong talk about the bidding, Long Xiaoshan smiled slightly: "Miss Ling, is it possible that you also want to cooperate with our Longmen Pharmaceutical?"
Ling Ruotong said: "There is no pharmaceutical company that doesn't want to cooperate with Longmen Pharmaceutical. It's just that our Ling's Pharmaceutical may not be favored by Director Long, but I am indeed very sincere, and I don't expect to become a direct partner of Longmen Pharmaceutical."
A partner, even if it can become a downstream supporting enterprise, although our Ling's is not a top pharmaceutical company, it is still an old company with a history of more than 30 years."
"Oh, what advantages does your Ling family have?" Long Xiaoshan asked.
Ling Ruotong felt happy when she saw that Long Xiaoshan did not refuse. She quickly introduced to Long Xiaoshan the achievements of Ling's Pharmaceutical over the years. Of course, Ling Ruotong was skillful. Although she did not exaggerate, she also summarized some of Ling's Pharmaceutical's achievements.
All the advantages are displayed and the shortcomings of Ling's Pharmaceuticals are minimized.
The two of them were walking and unknowingly came to a covered bridge. On the sparkling lake, there were many golden carp swimming around, surrounded by newly sprouted willows, and the warblers were singing on the willow banks. The lakeside was under the willows.
, there were three or two couples sitting side by side.
Long Xiaoshan stopped, looked at the lake and said, "The scenery here is nice, let's stand here for a while."
Ling Ruotong's heart trembled.
She was not familiar with this place. It was the famous Lover's Embankment in Shuimu Garden. Long Xiaoshan once wanted to confess his love to her here, but she was ruthlessly interrupted.
Although she understood the other party's friendship at that time, she did not dare to accept Long Xiaoshan due to the pressure from the Shen family.
Standing here, the past memories came to her mind, and she was confused.
Long Xiaoshan said softly: "Miss Ling, if I remember correctly, you and Mr. Shen are engaged, right? As far as I know, Shen's Pharmaceutical is a domestic pharmaceutical giant, bigger than our Longmen Pharmaceutical."
Much more, the Shen family is a wealthy family in Yanjing, why don't you cooperate with Shen's Pharmaceuticals and come to me, Longmen Pharmaceuticals."
A hint of helplessness appeared on Ling Ruotong's face: "Of course there are some reasons for this."
"Miss Ling, you don't like that Young Master Shen, right?" Long Xiaoshan suddenly stared into Ling Ruotong's eyes.
As if being seen through her heart, Ling Ruotong felt panic in her heart: "This, I don't think this has anything to do with you, Mr. Long, right?"
"Of course it does matter. In fact, as long as Miss Ling agrees to one condition, let alone a downstream supporting company, it is no problem for Ling's Pharmaceutical to directly become a partner of Longmen Pharmaceutical." Long Xiaoshan's eyes were hot and firm.
said.
"What conditions?" Ling Ruotong didn't believe it. Longmen Pharmaceutical was so prosperous now that even international pharmaceutical giants gathered in Yanjing, begging to cooperate with Longmen Pharmaceutical, but it was willing to choose Ling's as a partner?
"Dump that Shen Tianhao and follow me." Long Xiaoshan suddenly said forcefully.
