Comrade Xu didn't get much information from the young woman holding the child.
Maybe this young woman didn't know much about Li Xiaoshan. Also, she was suspicious of and wary of Comrade Xu, so she hugged the child and left without saying a few words.
From her mouth, Tongdao Xu learned roughly the following information:
1. Li Xiaoshan rarely quarreled with his girlfriend. At least she never heard how Li Xiaoshan and his girlfriend quarreled in the dormitory.
2. Li Xiaoshan’s girlfriend Pingping... is quite beautiful.
The second point was revealed inadvertently during her words and was noticed by Xu Tongdao.
At that time, the young woman said this: "Actually, when I saw the two of them, I doubted that they would grow together. After all, Li Xiaoshan is ugly, and Pingping is so beautiful..."
Watching the young woman holding the child leave, Comrade Xu sat on a stool outside the canteen, sipping Bing Bao Lu thoughtfully.
——So, if what the woman just said is true, then... Li Xiaoshan's temper should be okay, not the kind of bad temper that usually quarrels with his girlfriend.
As for the real story behind Li Xiaoshan's breakup with his girlfriend, Comrade Xu still didn't care much.
It’s not like he wants to fall in love with Li Xiaoshan, no matter how his last relationship ended?
What he cares more about is Li Xiaoshan's temper and whether he is suitable for advancement in the workplace.
If he has a bad temper, he won't want to use it.
…
Almost two hours passed.
Zheng Qing finally came back.
When he came back this time, Zheng Qing drove the van that had been parked near Shuxiang Pavilion.
Arriving in front of Comrade Xu, Zheng Qing took the cigarette handed to him by Comrade Xu, sat down on the stool next to him, lowered his head to light the cigarette, and leaned close to Comrade Xu, saying in a low voice: "I heard something about that Li Xiaoshan
Work at Shuxiang Pavilion
It has been more than 4 years. Four years ago, when Shuxiang Pavilion opened, Li Xiaoshan became the head chef there. Speaking of it, he was definitely the hero of Shuxiang Pavilion. Because he did not look very good, and because he was very busy at work, he was
I haven't found a girlfriend for several years.
When he came home from his annual leave later this year, his family arranged a blind date for him. I heard that he went on a blind date this time. When he came back from his annual leave, he brought his blind date to Shuxiang Pavilion to work. So, I went to work with him today.
The woman they broke up with was said to be his girlfriend, but to be more precise, she should be considered his fiancée."
Comrade Xu listened silently.
At this point, Zheng Qing paused, took two puffs of cigarette, and continued: "This woman's name is Wang Pingping. I heard that she is quite beautiful, but her education is not high. She only graduated from junior high school. She usually lives on the second floor of Shuxiang Pavilion.
Li Xiaoshan suddenly went upstairs to look for her this morning. When he found her, the brother-in-law of the Shuxiang Pavilion boss seemed to be doing something scandalous with the woman in the box, and Li Xiaoshan happened to catch him.
What happened next is what we saw before. Li Xiaoshan turned against him on the spot, chased the boss's brother-in-law from the second floor to the first floor, caught up with him, and beat the guy in public.
And that Wang Pingping probably stayed in the store because she was too shameless. When Li Xiaoshan chased and beat the boss's brother-in-law, the woman ran away from the store with her face covered, and she hasn't gone back to work yet.
That's probably all I've heard."
"No more?"
Tongdao Xu raised his eyes and asked him.
Zheng Qing nodded, "Yeah, no more."
Comrade Xu frowned, "What about Li Xiaoshan's character? Have you asked?"
"Oh, his character. If you don't ask, I almost forgot to mention it. I asked about this. I heard that he has a bit of a tough temper and doesn't talk much. But if anyone fails to do what he orders, he will be punished.
I will train people very seriously, well, that’s pretty much it.”
After Zheng Qing finished speaking, Comrade Xu squinted his eyes and took another sip of Bingbaolu. Zheng Qing noticed it, blinked, and suddenly turned to the woman at the canteen counter and shouted: "Hey, do you still have Bingbaolu? Give it to me.
Get one too!”
Shouting, he had already stood up and walked to the counter.
"Yes, yes! Okay! I'll get it for you."
The woman at the counter smiled and stood up.
Outside the store door, Comrade Xu looked at the small courtyard not far away... at the door of the house Li Xiaoshan rented.
He has been waiting here for so long, and Li Xiaoshan's door has never been opened again.
Now that he has learned so much information about Li Xiaoshan, he has a good impression of Li Xiaoshan, and he also sympathizes with Li Xiaoshan's experience. However, based on the information he has learned so far, Comrade Xu feels that Li Xiaoshan has fallen into the trap.
Today's situation is reasonable and reasonable.
He had heard of several similar cases before.
I feel... Mainly because Li Xiaoshan is average-looking, and his personality... is quite dull, and he doesn't know how to sweet talk.
Not many young girls seem to like such conditions.
In Mr. Xu's impression, most young and beautiful girls really like those who are handsome, talkative, and coaxing.
But these two points are exactly what Li Xiaoshan does not possess.
That's all, Wang Pingping happened to meet the brother-in-law of the boss of Shuxiang Pavilion, that greasy-headed guy with noodle dishes.
"How about it? Do we still have to wait here?"
Zheng Qing, who came back from buying a pack of Bing Bao Lu, sat down next to Xu Tongdao again, gnawing on Bing Bao Lu and asking curiously.
Comrade Xu glanced at him, smiled, and stood up, "No more waiting! Let's go and meet him."
"Ah? Are you leaving now?"
Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the Bing Baolu she just bought in her hand.
Seeing that Comrade Xu was already walking towards Li Xiaoshan's residence, Zheng Qing quickly stood up and followed him.
When passing by a garbage dump, Xu Tongdao casually threw the remaining ice cream in his hand into the garbage pile.
Zheng Qing subconsciously wanted to throw it away, but after looking at the newly opened Bingbaolu, she didn't throw it out because she couldn't bear to part with it.
…
Li Xiaoshan lay on his back on the bed with empty eyes, staring at the ceiling blankly. The room was very quiet, so quiet that he could hear the sound of the TV coming from the next room, as well as the sound of a woman scolding her child.
It was already past 12 noon, and Li Xiaoshan heard his stomach growl.
But he remained motionless and seemed not to hear.
Until... there was a knock on the door.
"Dong dong, dong dong"
"Who?"
He asked without moving.
"Is Chef Li here? Could you please open the door? We are from Shuidiao City and we have something to do with you!"
A young man's voice came from outside the door.
Are you from Mizutori City?
Where is Mizutori City?
Li Xiaoshan's empty eyes were finally no longer empty, and there was a look of doubt in them. He was silent for a few seconds, probably out of curiosity, he sat up and looked at the door.
The next second, he stood up and walked over.
Opening the door with a heavy face, he saw two young men standing outside the door. One of them was very young, looking about twenty years old, and the other... was actually holding a pack of ice cream in his hand and chattering...
