Austin Garden Restaurant is a Western-style restaurant located on Jingzhou Ancient Street. This garden-style restaurant has been open for about two years. Because of its strong exotic flavor, this restaurant was initially recognized by the literary and artistic youth.
.Once, on a summer evening, Liang Jian was walking along the stone road and saw many couples enjoying the night view and delicious food in the garden. It was said that one of the steaks was flown directly from Australia and tasted extremely delicious.
However, Liang Jian instinctively resisted such a lively place. He had wanted to invite Hu Xiaoying to eat here many times, but the seats here were all small tables in the garden. It always felt a bit strange that the two of them were exposed in front of other people.
, living in a private room seemed boring, so he never came.
This time, it was not Hu Xiaoying who called him, but Zhou Wen.
On the way back to the county town from Xiangyangpo Town, Liang Jian received a text message from Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen said that she had gotten some information and it would be best to meet in person. Of course Liang Jian couldn't wait. He asked her when she would be free to meet.
So, Zhou Wen decided on a time and place. The place was this Austin Garden Restaurant.
When Liang Jian arrived, Zhou Wen was already sitting in the garden restaurant. When Liang Jian walked in, Zhou Wen raised her head and said with a smile: "You are late, sorry for asking the lady to wait, right?"
Today, Zhou Wen's delicate face looks very smooth and moist. I wonder if she has put on makeup. Liang Jian feels that sometimes women should wear makeup. If they are not naturally beautiful, it will be a disaster. Then makeup is a double blow to themselves and others.
respect.
Liang Jian pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm from the countryside coming to the city, and I've come all the way from the county. I asked Prosecutor Zhou to be more considerate of me."
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Okay, I'll be patient, but we are a private party today, so you don't have to be so formal." Liang Jian said: "Sister Wen, I understand. What do you want to eat? I'll call you.
.”
Zhou Wen smiled and waved to the waiter and said, "Let's order." The waiter came over and asked them if they wanted Western food or Chinese food.
In his impression, Liang Jian always thought that this was a Western restaurant, so how to serve Chinese food? Liang Jian asked: "Do you also serve Chinese food here now?"
The waiter boy opened his eyes wide and said, "Yes, can we adapt to market demand? What do we do when customers need it?" Liang Jian was speechless.
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "I'd better order the steak, medium rare." The young man remembered it and looked at Liang Jian. Liang Jian said: "I have never been here before. I believe in Sister Wen's taste. I'll have one too."
Steak." Zhou Wen smiled and said, "Actually, I haven't been here either."
Liang Jian was speechless. But since he had already placed his order, Liang Jian didn't want to change it anymore. It was his first time anyway, so it might as well give it a try.
In the garden restaurant, there was a pair of young guests, about twenty years old. Although they were sitting facing each other, they were both looking down at their mobile phones. The young boy among them raised his head and shouted to the waiter: "What is the password for the wifi here?"
ah?"
Liang Jian recently heard a saying that the farthest distance is not the ends of the world, but that I am right in front of you while you are looking at your phone. Maybe this is the way modern people fall in love.
Compared to Liang Jian and Zhou Wen, who are over thirty, neither of them has suffered from this problem. Zhou Wen said: "You seem to be surprised that Chinese food is sold here?"
Liang Jian said: "Isn't it? Isn't this a Western restaurant? Selling Chinese food, wouldn't that make me an old uncle?" Zhou Wen retorted: "Then you can't say that. It is said that KFC now sells rice bowls and Starbucks
Now selling green tea, isn’t that keeping pace with the times?” Liang Jian smiled and said, “Maybe, I hope it doesn’t become nondescript.”
Zhou Wen smiled and said: "Okay, let's wait for the steak to come. Let's evaluate it again and see if it tastes right." Liang Jian nodded, and then asked: "Tell me about it before the steak comes."
Is that what you found?"
Zhou Wen looked around and saw that there was no one else except the young couple looking at their mobile phones. There was also the reverberation of light music playing in the space, so they probably couldn't hear their conversation.
Zhou Wen said: "We have learned through channels that in fact, the companies to which Xiaolong Mining Company's funds flow are all shell companies and are basically empty. It is basically certain that someone has registered a shell company there.
The funds were then transferred there."
Liang Jian wondered: "But who would register a shell company? Is the money still in those companies' accounts?" Zhou Wen nodded and said, "It is still in those accounts." Liang Jian said:
"This is easy to handle. Just find out who registered these accounts."
Zhou Wen said: "However, we are not yet able to accomplish this. After all, that is Yunnan Province, and those companies are not in Kunming, but in Xishuangbanna, which is very close to Vietnam. Without close cooperation from Yunnan, it would be difficult for us to
The investigation of those companies cannot be carried out at all."
Liang Jian asked: "Have you never cooperated with them before?" Zhou Wen said: "Jingzhou City is a small prefecture-level city after all, and the prosecutorial system does not have much communication with other cities, let alone across provinces.
, it is only possible to contact the situation there through the Provincial Procuratorate.”
Liang Jian asked: "Is it possible to win the support of the province?" Zhou Wen said: "If it is a job-related crime case that we file, of course it is possible to submit it to the province for support. But you must know that we are doing this in private now.
Even the people in the city procuratorate don’t know about the investigation, let alone the province’s support! If some leaders in the city know that we are investigating secretly, I’m afraid I will be under pressure, and my immediate boss may have to
Talk to me!"
Liang Jian nodded lightly and said, "Yeah, I'm really embarrassing you. I'm going to treat you to a good meal today." Zhou Wen smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll treat you today. I was the one who proposed to come here.
Yes!"
Liang Jian said: "If you don't think I can't afford it, let me invite you. You have already provided me with such important information, which cannot be bought with money!" Zhou Wen is the prosecutor after all.
The people in the system were very cheerful: "If you want to say that, fine, I'll give you this chance!"
Liang Jian said: "I'm going to see what good wine there is." Zhou Wen smiled at him and said: "You still want to drink?" Liang Jian said: "Western food paired with red wine is just right. And what happened a few years ago, I didn't
Thank you formally." Zhou Wen showed a beautiful smile: "As long as you don't get me drunk."
Liang Jian smiled and walked towards the bar. Behind the bar were all kinds of foreign wines. When passing by the two young people at the table, Liang Jian glanced at them seemingly unintentionally. They seemed to be aware of Liang Jian's gaze, as if
As if he was afraid of being seen by others, he deliberately turned the phone towards himself.
Liang Jian has also seen many people have this habit. As long as someone is looking at their mobile phones, they will try to cover their mobile phones. For this reason, Liang Jian has become accustomed to it. He continued to walk towards the bar and said: "Waiter, here
I’ll have a bottle of red wine.”
Just as Liang Jian passed by, one of the two young men dialed his cell phone and sent a WeChat message: "He walked to the bar."
After a while, the other party replied: "It doesn't matter if they haven't left the restaurant. Wait a while and see that they are done, then just say it." The little boy immediately sent: "Understood."
When Liang Jian passed by them, the little boy covered his phone again and said to the little girl opposite: "What do you want to eat?" The little girl said: "Anything delicious will do."
Liang Jian held a bottle of French Bordeaux red wine and a decanter in his hand. When he arrived at Zhou Wen's side, he poured the red wine into the decanter and said, "No more, no less. Once this bottle of red wine is settled, we'll leave.
"Zhou Wen said: "Okay, you have more and I have less."
Liang Jian said: "I don't want to take advantage of you." Zhou Wen said: "If it is this kind of advantage, I can let you take advantage of it." These words had a warm and ambiguous flavor, Liang Jian just looked at Zhou Wen
, no longer accept the call.
Zhou Wen has a charming face, youthful spirit, and the unique attractiveness of a woman in her thirties. She is also very attractive to men. However, Liang Jian warned himself that this has nothing to do with him.
The steak came, and they cut it skillfully and took a bite. Zhou Wen raised her head and said, "It's passable." Liang Jian smiled, "Well, it's just a little too cooked." Zhou Wen said, "Cook it a little to sterilize it." Liang Jian smiled.
Jian said: "It's good to eat steak and drink red wine at the same time. Let's have another drink."
After finishing the steak, there were still two glasses of red wine in the decanter. Liang Jian poured the wine into their glasses, raised the glasses and greeted Zhou Wen: "Shall we drink and then leave?"
Perhaps because Zhou Wen was in high spirits, her voice was quite loud: "Okay. You have eaten so much today, why don't you go for a walk with me?" Liang Jian was not surprised by Zhou Wen's request, so he said: "
Okay, I'll walk with you. Where do you want to go?" Zhou Wen said, "Let's go to Xiangwang Park?"
Speaking of Xiangwang Park, Liang Jian couldn't help but think of Xiang Jin. That time, before Xiang Jin left, he took her there. There, she said she would wait for him. Later, things took a turn for the worse, and Xiang Jin's father tried to stop her.
Their contact, she sent him text messages in Xiang Jin’s name so that he didn’t have to wait for her. Later, he experienced a quick marriage with Yu Yue, and also experienced other women, including Hu Xiaoying. Although last time Xiang Jin
Jin said on the phone that he would come to Jingzhou soon. But since then, there has been no information from her, and he has not been looking for her. From the beginning of his admiration for her to the subsequent loss, now, he does not know what he is.
What kind of emotion did he have for her? Anyway, it was no longer as innocent as it was at the beginning. At that time, he just thought that as long as she was willing to wait, he would definitely try his best to walk towards her, no matter how painful and tiring it was. But, what happened later
There were too many things, whether it was relationships or work, plus what time had brought to him, he felt that he had changed. In any case, he didn't know if he would still love someone wholeheartedly and want to give her happiness.
Give her care, give her all your love and care.
With these inappropriate thoughts in his heart, Liang Jian looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Okay, let's go over there."
The two of them got up, paid, and left.
When Liang Jian and the others were checking out, the younger boy of the pair sent another WeChat message: "They have come out and said they are going to Xiangwang Park."
The other party replied: "The hard work is wasted outside the door, in the crack of the second stone." After Liang Jian and the others left, the little boy came to the door. The houses in this alley are all old houses with some history, and the wall foundations
They were all angular stones. The little boy counted to the second one, reached into a gap, got two hundred yuan from it, and quickly hid it in his trouser pocket.
Liang Jian and Zhou Wen took a taxi and headed towards Xiangwang Park. Liang Jian looked behind him in the rearview mirror. Now he has developed a habit of looking behind him every time he gets in the car.
Liang Jian didn't notice any special car following him. But Zhou Wen noticed it sensitively and said, "Why do you always look in the rearview mirror?" Liang Jian turned his head, and Zhou Wen looked very charming in his drunken state. If
Either she is a prosecutor, or she is a beautiful woman who can easily make people imagine her.
