Lu Wuchuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the little girl's pain in her flesh: "Why, you can't bear to part with her?"
"It's not that I can't bear to part with you. Today is New Year's Eve. There will definitely be a lot of people out to eat, and I guess you won't necessarily get a seat." Duan Mo scratched the tip of his brow, "Brother Lu, why don't we go home to eat? You can order whatever you want, and I'll give it to you.
You do it, okay?"
The four words "Let's go home and eat" rang in his ears and entered his heart. Going home, well, that's right, Lu Wuchuan liked this statement. If he hadn't had a plan in advance, he would have really wanted to turn around and drive back.
"It's not like Yunhai has only one restaurant. Let's go to the fifth floor to eat seafood."
Although the cost is lower than the revolving restaurant on the top floor, the seafood in this place is certainly not cheap.
Duanmo rolled his eyes and started lobbying mode: "There will definitely be people on the fifth floor, and I don't know when we will have a seat. I know the seafood market, and everything is still fresh. It's not too late to go there at this time."
Lu Wuchuan was unmoved and turned off the engine and got out of the car: "Let's go up and have a look first, just in case there is a seat."
In fact, he wanted to go to the revolving restaurant at first, but he was afraid of scaring the little girl, so he chose the fifth floor. Now it seems that this decision was correct. If he insisted on going to the top floor, he was really afraid that the little girl would hold the car door and refuse to get off.
car.
Duanmo prayed silently in his heart: I hope that all the guests will be full, and that they will all be the ones who have just arrived.
Unfortunately, the elevator reached the fifth floor. The receptionist took the two of them to a relatively quiet seat by the window and removed the table cards.
With sharp eyes, Duan Mo saw the word "reserved" written on the table card and asked, "Brother Lu, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had reserved a seat?" He made himself pray blindly and waste his cells.
"You said you were afraid of not having a seat. When I went upstairs just now, I made a reservation on the APP."
He stared and told lies. When he was in the elevator, he didn't even take out his mobile phone. Forget it, he had already come, and it was not appropriate to leave anymore. Duanmo flipped through the menu handed over by the waiter and calculated how much cash he still had in his current account.
.
Lu Wuchuan raised his eyes and looked at the little girl with a sad and absent-minded expression, and shook his head helplessly: "I have a black card here, so just order whatever you want."
I thought saying this would make Duan Mo feel relieved, but she didn't expect her frown to deepen. She opened her mouth and glanced at the waiter next to her: "You go ahead and do your work first. We'll order later."
"Okay, if you need anything, please call me at any time." The waiter bowed slightly and stepped back.
Lu Wuchuan looked at the little girl opposite him strangely. Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, he lightly tapped the table: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
The black card and his big house made it impossible for anyone to think about it. Duanmo organized the words in his mind, leaned forward, and lowered his voice: "Brother Lu, there is a criminal police captain in Qingzhou who accepts bribes.
I was sentenced to ten years and eight months for acting as a shield for loan sharks. Do you know this?"
Lu Wuchuan raised his eyebrows: "I know, what's wrong?"
"I would rather be poor than take bribes. I will protect justice with my integrity. Once I serve as a police officer, I will be honest for the rest of my life." Duan Mo said seriously, "Since I have sworn an oath, I should abide by it."
Lu Wuchuan lowered his head to look at her level, imitating her tone and asked: "What do you want?"
When Duan Mo heard this, he closed his eyes for a few seconds and then opened them again. He seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Brother Lu... you can correct your mistakes if you know them. There is no great way to do good. I hope you can stick to your principles."
Seeing her distressed expression, Lu Wuchuan couldn't help but chuckle. He raised his hand and rubbed the stretched out little head: "What are you thinking about? I didn't break my oath."
He took out his wallet and pulled out a card: "See for yourself."
Duan Mo took it over suspiciously, and it was a laser card. The black color was tinged with metallic fluorescence, and it exuded from the inside out... well, an aura of superiority.
This card has a chip. In addition to the words Tianxiang Group printed on the front, there is also a handwritten signature in the lower right corner. The back is similar to a bank card, and there is nothing special about it.
The signature was quite elegant, and it was not Lu Wuchuan's name. Duanmo recognized it carefully and his eyes widened suddenly.
"Do you know them? Do you need me to tell you the correct pronunciation of those three words?" Lu Wuchuan said jokingly.
"No, no, no, we all know each other." Yan Guoliang didn't know three words, so the kindergarten was in vain. But what does this have to do with the topic they are talking about now?
"Yunhai Hotel belongs to Tianxiang Group. This card can be used at any entertainment venue under Tianxiang Group. Yan Guoliang is the president of the group, and his other identity is Yan Linfei's father." Lu Wuchuan said.
The card was put back into the wallet, "Secretary Duan, can we order food?"
"Ah?" Duan Mo didn't know why. When did he become the secretary?
"Senior Official Ji." Lu Wuchuan sneered, "But I'm very happy that you care about me so much."
"Don't make fun of me." Duanmo pouted, "Who would have thought that Yan Linfei's background is so big."
"You don't doubt me for taking bribes now, do you?" Lu Wuchuan opened the menu again, raised his hand and snapped his fingers to call the waiter.
During the ordering process, the two of them had another small disagreement. Duanmo stopped the abalone and king crab that Lu Wuchuan ordered and replaced them with clams, flying crabs and snails, and ordered two more vegetables and a fish ball.
Tang. In her words, she grew up by the sea and has the most say in seafood.
In fact, Liancheng is also close to the sea, but Lu Wuchuan is not from Liancheng. His family is inland, so naturally he doesn't know as much as Duanmo, so he leaves it to her.
The dishes were served one after another. Duanmo saw that Lu Wuchuan had directly removed the shells and only ate the clam meat. She took a sip of the soup in the clam shell and said, "Brother Lu, this is the original juice and the essence. Don't waste it."
Lu Wuchuan followed her example and took a sip: "Well, it's quite fresh."
"If you have a chance, I'll treat you to the rhubarb clams from my hometown. They're big and delicious, and they go great with some wine." Duan Mo became interested and continued, "There are also Pipi shrimps, freshly caught and steamed.
, or pickled raw, that’s the best dish to go with wine.”
"What kind of wine do you like to drink?" Lu Wuchuan put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin.
"Apricot wine." Duanmo replied subconsciously. Grandpa liked the apricot wine made by her grandmother the most. It was sour and sweet. Every time her grandpa drank it, she would pester her to drink a little.
Thinking of this, her mind couldn't help but drift back to the old house in the small town. The sky was blue and the moon was full. The whole family sat under the grape trellis, drinking apricot wine and admiring the moon. On a whim, her grandfather took the whole family to a drinking ceremony.
.
At that time, Duan Mo had just entered junior high school, so naturally he couldn't keep up with the rhythm. His father didn't have such a profound cultural background, so they, father and daughter, lost the most. She was still young and couldn't drink too much, so her father drank for her. As a result, she became a grown man.
In the end, he got drunk from apricot wine with a low alcohol content, and sang Jianghonghong loudly in the yard.
