After we both had a few drinks in a row, she suddenly said: "Feng Xiao, let's go. Let's go for a walk."
I was sure to obey her words, and then I pressed the button. After a while, the waiter came, and I said to her: "We pay the bill."
The beautiful girl in a green dress smiled and said to me: "The boss said that she is treating your table."
I shook my head and said, "This restaurant is opened by you, Manager Zhong, and that writer. Let's do this. I'll pay half of the price, and I won't pay the part that Manager Zhong invited me to."
The girl was still shaking her head, "Sir, I can't make the decision on this matter. Or I can ask the boss."
I immediately said: "No need. Let's do this. I estimate that our consumption will be around 4,000 yuan. I will pay 2,000 yuan. If your boss doesn't accept it, it will be considered your tip."
She said hurriedly: "This is definitely not allowed."
I smiled at her, then took out two thousand yuan and put it on the table, and then said to Tong Yao: "Let's go."
But Tong Yao said to me: "Don't do this. You will make your friends unhappy."
I immediately understood why I did this: I did this to clear away the relationship between myself and Zhong Feng in front of Tong Yao. This was indeed a bit excessive, I thought to myself.
Then I picked up the money, counted five pieces and handed them to the beautiful girl in front of me, "This is the tip I gave you. You must accept it. Don't tell me, Manager Zhong, what I wanted to pay the bill just now."
speak."
The girl hurriedly refused, and I immediately put the money on the dining table, and then said to Tong Yao again: "Let's go."
She nodded.
The pleasant sound of silk and bamboo floats inside the restaurant, and beautiful girls in long skirts shuttle inside from time to time. This place really gives people a wonderful feeling.
I took out my phone and called Zhong Feng, "Let's go, your place is really nice."
But she immediately asked me: "You like her very much, don't you?"
I coughed hurriedly, "Okay, I will definitely come next time."
Immediately, I hung up the phone.
After I went out, I found Zhong Feng outside, looking at us with a smile. I was a little embarrassed, and then said to her: "Zhong Feng, thank you."
A trace of displeasure flashed across her face, but then it turned into a smile again, "Feng Xiao, you actually bribed my waiter. Don't you know? Our waiters here can be specially trained, and their treatment has been
It's very high. If they accept the customer's consumption, they will be fired immediately if we find out."
The waiter must have reported it to her. I suddenly felt even more embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "The main reason is that I feel that I am not familiar with the writer, and he hates some behaviors of people in officialdom so much, so I don't want to give him
That's the impression."
Zhong Feng said with a smile: "Your explanation makes sense. Feng Xiao, just keep your tip with us for the time being. I'll give you extra food when you come next time."
I looked at her and smiled, "You mean, I have to pay the bill next time I come here. Right?"
She also laughed, "You have a lot of money anyway, don't you like paying bills?"
Tong Yao said from the side: "Manager Zhong, don't argue with him, he is sometimes stubborn."
Zhong Feng said with a smile: "I'm too lazy to argue with him. If I wanted to argue, he would have pissed me off a long time ago. Haha! Miss Tong, welcome to come again next time."
I found that Zhong Feng didn't seem to be really angry, and I felt relieved. Then Tong Yao and I said goodbye to her.
Originally, Tong Yao said she wanted to go out for a walk, but Zhong Feng was watching us here, so I got in the car directly. The key was with Tong Yao, and she went directly to the driver's seat.
When Tong Yao drove the car to the bottom of the hill, she said to me: "Feng Xiao, shall we go to the mountain? In the forest park on the mountain in front."
I said to her softly: "Okay, the steering wheel is in your hands anyway, you can drive wherever you want."
She immediately laughed, "What if I drive towards Tibet now?"
My heart suddenly fluttered, but my reason immediately came to my mind, "That won't work. Unless I ask for leave first. But it's very difficult for me to ask for leave now. There are too many things in the city. Tong Yao, if you really
If you want to drive into Tibet by yourself, I will definitely find a way to arrange the time."
She smiled and said, "I'm kidding you. This season is the rainy season, and there are a lot of mudslides and landslides. It's very dangerous to enter Tibet at this time."
I asked her: "Then when is the best time to go to Tibet?"
She replied: "October every year is the most beautiful season in Tibet."
I nodded, "Well then, I'll try my best to arrange my time in October... But it's not a good idea if Fang Qiang knows, right?"
She stopped talking immediately. She stepped heavily on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle quickly ran forward on the road. After a while, it started to go up the mountain. She suddenly said to me: "Feng Xiao, what are we talking about today?"
You don’t tell anyone, okay?”
I nodded, and then my heart suddenly moved, "Especially Lin Yi. Right?"
She nodded and said: "After all, he is the boss of Jiangnan Group, and these things happened in his company, so I don't want you to tell him such things. You know that I also let him know about Tong Yangxi.
He was so angry that he lost his job. So, I didn't want to get in trouble again."
I nodded and said, "I know. Don't worry, I won't tell him. By the way, he went to Hawaii to get married now. I don't know if he's back."
She asked me in surprise: "Marry? To whom?"
I was also a little surprised: Didn't she notice Lin Yi's whereabouts recently? In my feeling, she seems to have been investigating Lin Yi. Has she really changed her mind now? Or has she changed the investigation?
The direction? But I didn't know what to say, so I immediately answered her: "With Xia Lan, a beautiful female star."
She said: "Oh. That's right. I've heard about them being together, but I didn't expect them to get married so soon. Hehe! Rich people are different, and getting married can be so romantic."
I immediately laughed, "Tong Yao, why do I think you have a hatred of the rich? People's money is earned through legal channels, and they can spend it however they want. Haha! Do you think so?"
She immediately laughed, "Have I?"
I smiled and said to her, "What do you think?"
She kept laughing, "Don't talk about me!" Then she laughed herself, "Maybe you are right. When poor people see rich people, they will always be envious and angry at the same time."
I laughed, "It seems like what you said is true. But there are several different types of people: one is envious but also sets goals for himself, vowing to become like him in the future.
There are rich people. One type is like you said, only envious and then angry: Why does he have so much money? There must be something wrong with the source of his money. The other type is indifferent, thinking that others have money and
What does it matter to me? This is actually an attitude of self-pity."
She smiled and said: "Your analysis makes sense. I am the type of person you said who is envious and angry at the same time."
I shook my head and said, "No, you are not. Your mind is not on how to make money at all. Tong Yao, you are an excellent policeman. Their firing of you is a loss to the public security team."
She was silent for a moment, and after a while she said softly: "Feng Xiao, thank you."
In fact, I have known for a long time that she really doesn't care about money, at least her mind is not on this matter at all. I don't believe the conversation I had with her just now, especially what she said herself.
.
She still regards herself as a policeman in her heart. Sometimes I really can't understand why a person can be so persistent, but although I don't understand, I really admire people like her in my heart.
.
Soon she drove to the mountain. There were very few people here at night, perhaps because the temperature was higher in summer and there were more mosquitoes. Moreover, the forest park had already closed at this time, so the mountain was completely dark.
But from here you can see the city below.
Tong Yao and I got out of the car, and she said, "Just sit here for a while. It's very nice to see the city from here."
So we sat down on the side of the road and looked at the bright lights of the city below.
The moonlight is very good today, and the stars above the city are like the eyes of a wise man in the deep sky. They look down on the city in the quiet night with a kingly attitude.
The neon lights are brilliant, and the prosperity of the commercial streets illuminates the city brightly. The afterimages of the lonely lights in the tall buildings reflect the hardships of the people in the flashy commercial society.
The quietly flowing river protects this corner of the world with motherly care, showing its breadth, vastness and greatness. It is precisely because of his protection that the humanistic spirit can be preserved.
A gust of north wind blew away the remaining dust on the treetops, weeping over the vicissitudes of time. The mountain in front of us, and every tree on the mountain, are interpreting the nature far away from the hustle and bustle.
She whispered beside me: "It turns out that our city is so beautiful. We don't even realize it when we live in it."
I said, "Yes. Our Jiangnan Province has developed rapidly in the past few years. The cities are becoming more and more beautiful."
She said: "But who knows how much evil exists in this beautiful city?"
I shook my head and said: "Which city in the world doesn't have evil? As long as it is a place where humans live and as long as human desires exist, evil cannot disappear. Tong Yao, I think maybe you are exposed to too many dark things.
, so your heart has become a little gloomy. I think we should look at the problem from a positive aspect, so that there will be more sunshine in our eyes. What do you think?"
She said softly: "Maybe. No, no, maybe, what you said is the truth. But it is difficult to change my thinking. Maybe this is also the sadness of the profession I used to have."
I immediately asked her: "Tong Yao, you are still so young, you can't just live idle like this. Can you tell me? What kind of job do you want to do? I will help you arrange it."
She smiled and asked me: "I still want to be a policeman. Can you arrange that?"
I was startled for a moment, then said with a smile: "If you are willing to come to work in our Shangjiang City, I can find a way to solve this matter."
She shook her head, "How can it be so easy? My punishment was issued by the Provincial Public Security Department. The Shangjiang City Public Security Bureau is also a subordinate department of the Provincial Public Security Department."
I smiled and said, "Actually, the most important thing about your matter lies with Lin Yi. As long as he doesn't say anything else, I don't think this matter is difficult."
She sighed and said: "Forget it. I am planning to go to Hong Kong soon. I have been in contact with the police station there before. After hearing about my situation, they sympathized with me and recently asked me if I would like to go to Hong Kong.
Go work there.”
I looked at her in surprise, "Are you really willing to work there? What about your mother? She only has you as her daughter. And the matter between you and Fang Qiang..."
She said: "I just decided to go over for a while and have a look, and didn't make a final decision. Besides... Feng Xiao, I don't know why, but now I have decided to leave Jiangnan Province, but I feel empty in my heart."
.”
I said: "That's because you have feelings for your hometown."
She nodded, "There are people here. Feng Xiao, you know? Sometimes I feel so tired." (To be continued)
