Zhang Ling was very grateful to the waiter beside her.
When I saw the team passing the dishes approaching, I promptly gave a reminder.
Zhang Ling, who was slightly embarrassed, finally had a reason to avoid answering Cheng Jing's words.
She glanced at the food passing team, then changed the subject with a smile, praising the food for how delicious it was just by looking at it.
Cheng Jing looked slightly embarrassed and was pulled back to his seat by Qi Diaozhe.
Maybe it was because he felt that he could not help Qi Diaozhe.
So Cheng Jing bowed her head in despair and said nothing.
After Qi Diaozhe saw it, he simply muttered something in Cheng Jing's ear.
She saw Cheng Jing kissing his cheek ecstatically.
When I saw the expression of enjoyment on Li Xiang's face.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but grinned bitterly.
I feel that this may be what people often call the initiative of destiny.
The waiter on the side began to introduce each piece of food in front of him.
There are two vegetarian dishes, one is stir-fried pea shoots and one is stir-fried bamboo shoots with pickles.
There are three meat dishes, including a bowl of steamed duck stuffed with wine, a plate of pickled rouge goose breast, and a plate of Dongpo pork.
Followed by a large bowl of shrimp ball and chicken skin soup.
Finally, there is a big bowl of steaming green rice and Japonica rice.
Cheng Jing may have heard about Zhang Ling's delicious braised pork from Qi Diaozhe.
After the waiter finished his introduction, he took the initiative to introduce the Dongpo Pork here to Zhang Ling.
It is said that Dongpo pork is actually braised pork, and the skill lies in the heat.
The chefs here will first use high heat to bring to a boil, then add the seasonings and simmer over low heat until the soup bubbles slightly.
Dongpo talks about the method of cooking meat, saying that water must be avoided, and strong tea and strong liquor can be substituted if necessary.
It's not possible to add no water at all, as it will burn the pot and stick to it, but don't add too much water.
Add a lot of rice wine.
Cheng Jing said that she had eaten Yangzhou stew and added a little sorghum wine.
I've also tried thickened tea, but I can't seem to find any special flavor.
Zhang Ling looked at the food on the table and had enough.
I asked the waiter and learned that several more dishes would be delivered one after another.
So in order to avoid wastage, I told Cheng Jing that I didn’t need to serve any more food in the future.
Cheng Jing was filled with a somewhat happy smile, looked at Qi Diaozhe infatuatedly, then looked at Zhang Ling and waved her hand with a smile and said:
"Sister Zhang Ling, you are the witness of our relationship. The famous lion's head here has not been put on yet. What we have in front of us is too shabby."
"No! This is already very good! I can't even finish the food that has been served."
Just eat enough at noon!
Zhang Ling really doesn't want to waste too much time here.
Cheng Jing said in a compromise manner, somewhat like a hostess:
"Sister Zhang Ling, if it's not for other dishes, forget it. But you must try the Huai'an lion head here. Otherwise, Qi Diaozhe and I will definitely feel unhappy."
Qi Diaozhe nodded sincerely and agreed with Cheng Jing.
Cheng Jing had a reason to eat the lion head in order to explain to Zhang Ling.
As if possessed by the God of Cooking, he introduces the details of how the chef here makes the lion head.
It is said that chefs usually choose the best fresh pork, with half fat and half lean.
Cheng Jing heard from Qi Diaozhe that Zhang Lingte loved to eat fat.
So we pay special attention to the fact that the kitchen must be seven fat and three thin.
The chef first has to "finely chop and roughly chop" the rice, such as the size of pomegranate rice (chopped by hand with a kitchen knife).
Then, mince the water chestnuts and mix with the minced meat.
It must be rolled into a ball as big as a tangerine by hand, fried briefly in an oil pan until a thin shell forms on the outside, and then taken out.
Finally, put it into a pot of water, add soy sauce and sugar, simmer over low heat until the flavor is translucent.
Then collect the soup and put it into a large deep-flavored plate.
Perhaps Cheng Jing’s narration gave her a concrete understanding of the lion head.
This creates an urgent urge to eat.
So Zhang Ling finally chose to nod and agreed to Cheng Jing's proposal.
That’s it!
Zhang Ling became more and more satisfied with Cheng Jing.
An idea couldn't help but arise in my mind.
If she were a boy, she would definitely choose to pursue Cheng Jing.
Qi Diaozhe must not be allowed to poison such a good woman.
But……
time flies!
The meal is coming to an end.
period!
Qi Diaozhe twice wanted to continue the previous topic.
They were all perfectly rejected by her "no words when eating and no words when sleeping".
She raised her hand and glanced at the time on her watch, thinking it was time to leave.
So he put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said with a smile:
"Cheng Jing, I'm done eating! I'm very satisfied with this lunch. Especially the Dongpo pork and lion's head you mentioned. It's really good!"
"It's delicious, then eat more." Cheng Jing said, picking up the chopsticks and picking up a lion head for Zhang Ling, "Look, this..."
Zhang Ling quickly reached out and held Cheng Jing's hand and said:
"No, no, I'm controlling my diet recently."
Cheng Jing immediately said with a knowing smile:
"Oh, I understand. So the marriage between Sister Zhang Ling and Mr. Li has been decided. That's why I'm planning to make myself look beautiful at the wedding. I understand, I understand! Then I'll listen to you."
Zhang Ling originally wanted to deny Cheng Jing's conjecture.
When she accidentally saw Qi Diaozhe staring at Cheng Jing with a gloomy face.
It felt like I was going to strangle Cheng Jing to death with my own hands.
So I decided to nod calmly and agreed with Cheng Jing's conjecture.
"Really!" Cheng Jing seemed to be immersed in an inexplicable joy, not noticing Qi Diaozhe at the side, and then looked at her expectantly, "Can I attend your wedding then?"
"Of course you are welcome if you have time." Zhang Ling said with a smile.
Cheng Jing seemed to regard Zhang Ling as a long-time friend.
He stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Ling's hand tightly and said excitedly:
"If I have time, if I have time, even if I lose my job, I won't miss your wedding."
This friendship sounds really touching.
Zhang Ling deliberately glanced at Qi Diaozhe, who was a bit flabbergasted and staring.
I felt inexplicably relieved.
It's that happy feeling of seeing evildoers punished with your own eyes.
Zhang Ling suddenly had an idea and decided to add fuel to the fire and said:
"That's serious! With Qi Diaozhe's status in the group, no one dares to disapprove your vacation. You and Qi Diaozhe are welcome to attend."
"Definitely! We..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cheng Jing subconsciously reached out and grabbed Qi Diaozhe's hand.
Only then did he see Qi Diaozhe who was on the verge of rage.
Cheng Jing's words stopped abruptly, and she asked without panic at all:
"Qi Diaozhe, you said you are good friends. Your friend is getting married. Why can't you see a trace of joy on your face? Could it be..."
Qi Diaozhe knew that Zhang Ling hated liars the most.
He couldn't be defined as a liar by another woman again in front of Zhang Ling.
So no matter how unhappy he was about what he just heard.
Now I am trying my best to show a bright smile and say:
"Where? I'm happy, of course I'm happy!"
He then looked at Zhang Ling and smiled:
"I wish you happiness! I will definitely give you a big gift when you get married."
Qi Diaozhe really planned to give a big gift.
That is the jade bed that I made a promise to Zhang Ling during my high school romance.
But there is a prerequisite for giving this gift.
The groom must be his best friend.
For Qi Diaozhe, this is the only way to give gifts without feeling at a loss!
"Okay! The secretary just reminded me that an important client is coming and I have to go to the airport to pick him up in person, so I'll excuse you now." Zhang Ling stood up with a satisfied smile, "No need to send him off. It's still early before work.
Don’t waste these delicacies, please continue.”
In fact, there is nothing to do with important customers.
She just didn't want to ride back in the same car with them again.
Zhang Ling was already very uncomfortable when she arrived.
I don’t want to throw up the food I just ate when I go back.
She can't do such evil things!
So I can only find a high-sounding reason to leave early.
Qi Diaozhe had already inquired about Zhang Ling's itinerary.
Naturally, I don’t want to believe Zhang Ling’s words.
He was about to ask to stay.
Without thinking, Cheng Jing was forcefully pulled up from his position.
The two looked close to each other.
As soon as Cheng Jing finished saying farewell to Zhang Ling, she saw Qi Diaozhe having the urge to send Zhang Ling off in person.
Cheng Jing reminded Qi Diaozhe in his ear without any panic:
"Dear, you should know that Zhang Ling hates cheating and people who waste food. But please know one thing more clearly. A woman likes a man who dotes on her the most, not a man who disobeys her at every turn.
"
These words are said to myself to a certain extent.
Cheng Jing expected that Qi Diaozhe would pamper her as he pampered Zhang Ling.
When Qi Diaozhe heard Cheng Jing's words, he stared at Zhang Ling's retreating back and was stunned for a while.
In the end, he chased after her without moving.
Cheng Jing is a little happy!
Her expectations seemed to be answered.
Qi Diaozhe looked at her with a doting smile, and reached out to gently comb the messy hair around her ears.
A comfortable and warm wind blows in the face, and it feels like a baby clinging to its mother's arms and sucking milk.
that moment!
Cheng Jing completely felt that her spring had finally arrived.
Suddenly!
His right palm suddenly held the back of her head, and his left hand held her waist.
He stared quietly.
Silently, silently approach.
She felt that his face was like a piece of quietly swaying moonlight without any ripples.
His hot breath hit your face, and his warm lips gradually pressed against you.
She was a little panicked.
Then he closed his eyes tightly, not daring to open them at all, and began to imagine the feeling of lips touching...
Sudden!
A gasping sound sounded in her ears.
The skin around the ears becomes itchy due to irritation from the breath.
Cheng Jing began to complain in her heart that Qi Diaozhe didn't kiss her lips.
He unexpectedly wanted to kiss her ear.
She just tried her best to convince herself to accept the current situation.
But his cold voice came to her ears.
"Cheng Jing, please correct your identity! You are the girlfriend I hired with money. I hope today is your last transgression. Otherwise, I don't mind replacing you immediately!"
She was a little stunned when she heard these words.
When I regained consciousness, I saw that he had turned around and walked out of the pavilion.
Cheng Jing tried to persuade her to stay and said:
"Qi Diaozhe, where are you going? Please take me with you! It's not easy to take a taxi back here."
Qi Diaozhe stopped and said without looking back:
"Don't worry, I won't leave for the time being. If you haven't eaten enough, you can continue. I'm going to see a friend and have a few words. I'll be back soon."
"I'll accompany you..."
Before Cheng Jing finished speaking, she heard Qi Diaozhe refuse:
"No need! This friend of mine doesn't like meeting strangers. You should wait for me here."
Cheng Jing said "Oh" in great disappointment.
She knew clearly that this was not because Qi Diaozhe's friend did not like meeting strangers.
In Qi Diaozhe's eyes, their relationship was not yet to the point of bringing her to meet friends.
However, Cheng Jing was not completely depressed.
She imagined that sooner or later she would be the only woman standing beside Qi Diaozhe.
Looking at the unfinished meal in front of me.
Cheng Jing turned her grief and anger into appetite and began to eat without any scruples.
Qi Diaozhe came to the east courtyard alone.
At the entrance of a romantic Baroque-style duplex house.
He said to the oncoming waiter:
"Hello, I'm here to see Li Xi. We made an appointment!"
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Qi Diao Zhe!"
"Oh, it turns out to be Master Qi! Miss Li Xi has indeed asked you to come. Please follow me this way."
The waiter led Qi Diaozhe through several doors, walked through two corridors, and finally entered a magnificently decorated room.
In the room were Li Xi and Shangguan Aoxue, who were sitting at the dining table eating.
There were five or six waiters waiting around.
At first glance, it looks a bit like Princess Princess in the palace having a meal.
When I saw Qi Diaozhe walking in.
Only Shangguan Aoxue stood up from the dining table with a somewhat professional smile and walked over quickly.
And Li Xi seemed to be the most noble elder.
He sat firmly in his position and glanced contemptuously at Qi Diaozhe.
This was obviously waiting for Qi Diaozhe to take the initiative to go over and say hello to her.
…
Go to work in the afternoon.
Zhang Ling continued to process the tedious documents as usual.
The landline phone on the desk rang.
Bie Shanliu called her to tell her that Mr. Chen from Zhihua Technology was here.
It seems that Chen Jian is very annoyed because of certain cooperation details.
What are the specific details?
I don’t know much about Bishanliu either.
Privately, Zhang Ling hated Chen Jian no matter how much she hated him.
But Chen Jian is still very professional in his work.
So she could only go to the office building gate to greet him in person.
Small conference room No. 13.
From the moment she saw Chen Jian, she didn't hear a word said by him.
Chen Jian has always maintained a serious attitude.
This made Zhang Ling feel that there must be some big problem with the cooperation.
In a professional and responsible manner, she took the initiative to ask:
"Mr. Chen, there is something about the cooperation between the two companies that makes you dissatisfied. Please just say it if you have anything to say. We can easily discuss everything."
Chen Jian raised his hand to signal everyone else in the small conference room to get out.
Zhang Ling is a little confused!
But considering that the conversation may involve confidential information of Zhihua Technology.
It's understandable for the two of them to talk alone.
After Chen Jian saw the last person closing the door, he looked solemn and said:
"Sister-in-law Zhang Ling, I have a personal matter that I need your help with."
"What?" Zhang Ling stood up in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jian would make a special trip to talk to her about personal matters during working hours.
now!
Someone outside the glass window of the conference room saw Zhang Ling's surprised reaction.
I began to think that something big would happen to the cooperation between the two companies.
When Zhang Ling noticed her colleague who was about to move outside the window.
So she immediately used the remote control to close the curtains.
Then, she continued to say to Chen Jian:
"Mr. Chen, you're not mistaken. You saw me blatantly during work hours. Is it just to discuss private matters?"
Chen Jian smiled and said:
"We have business matters! However, I am accustomed to settling personal matters before discussing business matters. I just wonder if Vice President Zhang is willing to help?"
"Mr. Chen, you didn't say what you want me to help with? But I made it clear in advance that I will not help you do anything illegal or disciplinary."
Zhang Ling noticed that Chen Jian started from entering the group gate.
His eyes were fixed on the woman next to her.
That's why I said this speculatively.
Chen Jian shook his head and said:
"No! I, Chen Jian, am not a lunatic who specializes in breaking laws and disciplines. Don't worry about this Vice President Zhang."
"Okay! What's the matter? Tell me." Zhang Ling said with relief.
Chen Jian said hesitantly:
"Sister-in-law Zhang Ling, I want to ask you to help me convince Yan Yuan to pretend to be my girlfriend and go home to have a casual meal with my parents."
It seems that Chen Jian finally compromised in the face of the pressure from his parents.
That's why I took the initiative to come to Zhang Ling for help.
