I hesitated for a moment, but Huang Shang immediately stuffed the card into my pocket and said, "Take it first. If you want to stay tonight, you can come anytime. It's okay if you don't come. Just bring the card over tomorrow."
I was about to return the card to him, but he said to me: "Dr. Feng, I have something else to do. Goodbye." With that, he quickly entered the hotel.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then went to Principal Wu, "It's okay, let's go."
Principal Wu immediately glared at the school office director and said, "Go back first."
The school director left awkwardly.
I pulled Principal Wu aside and said, "Principal Wu, I'm sorry, I didn't know this was the case. Secretary Zhang...Hey! I won't talk anymore. I'll handle this matter."
He shook his head and sighed: "Xiao Feng, it's so embarrassing..."
I said: "You, the director of the school office, are too ignorant. He should be yours, right? How could you choose such a person to be your housekeeper? There are other subordinates of yours here today. This is a big worry for you."
It’s so shameless!”
He was still shaking his head and sighing, "It doesn't matter, everyone in the school knows that Zhang is that kind of person. He was so domineering when he was the principal, not to mention now that he has become the secretary. It doesn't matter to me, everyone has seen it today,
As a principal, I can't even afford to hire a leader, so I'm not the only one who is embarrassed."
I deeply sympathized with him and said, "Principal Wu, stop talking. I will be responsible for this matter. It's okay."
He patted me on the shoulder, "Brother, what do you think it means for me to be the principal? It's only you. If it were anyone else, I really can't afford to be embarrassed!"
I said to him sincerely: "Principal Wu, you should have told me in advance. Director Yang who came today can also pay the bill? Forget it, let's not talk about it. In the final analysis, you still regard me as an outsider.
"
He apologized: "My school director is still ignorant. I have a problem. He could have told me in private."
I quickly comforted him and said, "Principal Wu, stop talking. Let's go have supper."
He said: "Let's go have a few drinks. I'm sick of it."
I said: "You ask your driver to go back. I will drive. By the way, the three of them can go back too."
He said: "It doesn't matter. The three of them have to go today. What do you think we two men should drink?"
I couldn't help but worry, "If we get drunk, they won't go back and talk nonsense, right?"
He smiled and said, "Don't worry. Xiao Meng is the one I promoted. Those two girls stayed in school through my connections."
I immediately felt relieved and said, "Okay, I'll drive."
Principal Wu immediately asked his driver to drive away. I immediately asked Principal Wu to sit in the passenger seat, and the three women sat in the back.
Because what just happened was really too embarrassing, no one said anything after getting in the car. Later, I still felt that the atmosphere was too boring, so I asked Principal Wu, "Old leader, what would you like to eat?"
Principal Wu said in a sullen voice: "Whatever."
I knew he was still depressed, so I smiled and asked Meng Xiaoyun: "Xiao Meng, it was you who suggested a midnight snack just now. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
She smiled and asked me: "What is Dean Feng going to treat us to?"
I smiled and said, "Whatever. Just ask. Haha! At this time, you can't find good food if you want."
Meng Xiaoyun said: "That's true. Let me tell you, why is Dean Feng so generous?"
I knew clearly that she was joking with me, but I still felt secretly uncomfortable. I said, "Speak quickly? There is a crossroads ahead."
Meng Xiaoyun smiled and said: "Dean Feng, I like to joke. You won't be angry, right? Let's just go wherever you take us."
I said: "Let's go to Binjiang Road. There is a river fish restaurant there. It tastes good."
Principal Wu spoke, "Don't go to a place like that. Just find a random one."
I didn’t understand what he meant, but I couldn’t ask him because I knew he must be in a bad mood. I said, “Okay. Let’s go to a quieter place.”
Everyone was silent. So I turned the car into a branch road at the intersection ahead.
This is the place Zhuang Qing and I once visited, the rabbit-eating restaurant.
It can be said that our arrival here today was a complete accident, because just when we were talking about what to eat, we happened to arrive at the intersection in front, so I suddenly remembered this place. But I think this may also be the case.
A longing in my subconscious made me suddenly think of this place.
Zhuang Qing, she was just a nurse at that time. Later she resigned and went to shoot commercials, and later she went to Beijing to develop. And on a few nights during those days, we came here to drink.
The relationship between us was so pure and flawless at that time. It still makes me excited when I think about it now. But now things have changed. She has become a popular star, and I am no longer the green and naive person.
I am a young doctor. But there always seems to be an insurmountable barrier between us.
"How is it here?" I looked at the restaurant in front of me that specializes in rabbits, and turned to ask Principal Wu.
He said: "Okay. Let's do it here."
So a group of us entered inside.
I did not choose a private room, but went directly to a large round table next to the place where Zhuang Qing and I used to sit.
I ordered a rabbit, and asked them to make it into pickled peppers and spicy ones, as well as a few cold dishes. Then I ordered a beer. Although the Wu Principal and others did not say they wanted to drink, I knew that the Wu Principal definitely wanted to
He wants to drink. He must be in a bad mood now.
Sure enough, no one objected.
No one objected to not eating rabbit meat. I couldn’t help but think of Chen Yuanlai: She didn’t eat this food at the beginning because she said rabbits were too cute and couldn’t bear to eat them. At this moment, my heart suddenly surged.
A kind of warmth and sadness came.
The dishes came out in less than a quarter of an hour. Restaurants that specialize in rabbit meat are different. They only need this amount of time from skinning the rabbit to serving the dishes, because the rabbit meat is very tender and there is starch wrapped in the meat.
, plus the fire and oil are boiling, so it only takes this little time.
I opened a bottle of beer for each of them, and then raised a glass to everyone, "Come, have a good weekend. I am very happy today. Spending the weekend with the leaders and teachers of my alma mater is the most pleasant thing." (To be continued.)
