When people are in trouble, they think of their relatives and friends, especially when they are very wronged.
Zhang Li felt aggrieved, helpless, and even weak.
This is not entirely due to being frightened by Ren Qingyun. After all, I know him, not to mention completely, but at least have a rough understanding of him. I know what this person is like, I know what he is, and I am not completely afraid.
If it were a stranger tonight, a complete gangster, she might be frightened and bewildered, and she wouldn't be so calm.
After smoking a cigarette, I felt that all the nerves in my body were relaxed, I was no longer so nervous, and my heart palpitations were gone. I wiped the corners of my eyes with my hands, because I didn’t know when tears had started to leak out.
The night has ended today, it is late at night.
Zhang Li got up and entered the bathroom, slowly took off her underwear, stood naked under the shower, turned on the switch, and warm water poured down from her head.
The water made her sober and soothed.
She didn't use shower gel or soap, she just stood there letting the water pour on her, not even moving, her eyes closed, and she didn't think about anything.
What can you think about at this time?
Thinking about everything, nothing comes to mind.
She wanted to have a man hold her in his arms and caress her with pain. It didn't matter if it was a man she didn't like, as long as he had a chest to nestle into.
But no, it’s just me.
The shower head rustled and the water gradually became cold.
She turned off the faucet, picked up a towel to dry herself, put on the hanging pajamas, then left the bathroom, picked up a cigarette and ashtray from the coffee table in the living room, and entered the bedroom.
Put the ashtray on the bedside table, take out a cigarette and light it.
I sat on the bed, put the pillow at the head of the bed, then leaned on it half sideways, without covering myself with a quilt, smoking a cigarette and watching the TV hanging on the wall opposite.
All thoughts came back to me at this moment. After thinking about what had just happened, I lost my fear and felt that I had done the right thing. At the same time, I also thought that people upstairs and downstairs might have heard her shouts and knew what happened.
If you know it, you know it. How can you do it? Break the law?
Isn't it just that there are no old men? How can this happen with old men? Besides, you can't see them once a month, so it's no big deal. They all live their own lives, and no one cares about this. At most, they just keep it.
When the news speaks.
He took a puff of cigarette, flicked the ash into the ashtray, and picked up his cell phone.
I looked at the phone for a while and thought about calling Lao Tan, but then I thought it was late at night and Lao Tan might have fallen asleep.
If you beat him even when he is sleeping, who will bother him if you don't torment him? Someone should comfort him if he is so wronged.
She thought like this, and the little girl's mentality took over. Yes, only in front of Lao Tan did she act like a little girl who didn't know anything. She listened to Lao Tan on everything without thinking.
The call was made.
Lao Tan also just took a shower and lay down on the bed.
He and Zhou Xiaomei went to Jining today, firstly to see the operation there, and secondly to send a new store manager there - to replace Tong Xin.
Tong Xin's cousin Zhou Yujun was building a wireless network and needed workers, so he transferred all three of Tong Xin's family. Of course Tong Xin worked as a receptionist and secretary in the office, while her husband and son were sent to other places.
To be honest, this family of three doesn't like to go, but they are relatives after all, so they have to go to save face, so there is no other way.
When seeing Tong Xin off, Lao Tan didn't say anything, just a few symbolic instructions. Tong Xin said to go and have a look first, and if she doesn't get used to it, come back, hoping that she will be wanted again.
Lao Tan looked at Tong Xin's beautiful face and her attractive and plump figure, and said, "Aqiao will be your mother's family anytime. You can come back at any time."
Tong Xin was so moved that she shed tears, and the family of three got into Zhou Yujun's car and drove away.
The business of the Jining store is very good, and it has become the most famous dumpling restaurant in the area. Private rooms have to be booked three days in advance. The daily turnover is around 20,000. At this rate, the cost can be recovered in ten months. It is really good.
The money scene is vast.
Lao Tan didn't stay long. He looked at the front desk and the kitchen, and after seeing that everything was normal, he and Zhou Xiaomei had lunch and came back. After coming back, he first went to the Jinqiao store and then went to the Haidong store.
There is a dinner party in the evening for President Lang, Minister Zhao, Toya Dawa, Gu Yi and Zhang Yu from the Food and Drug Administration. Zhang Yu is also planning to call fellow director Sun to join in the fun.
Lao Tan agreed to go to Ordos with President Lang to serve as a judge, and will leave in two days. I just took this opportunity today to ask about the specifics of the sheep cooking competition, so as to be prepared.
He has been a judge for competitions, but he has never been a national judge. This is the first time.
When Gu Yi came, she took Kang Min with her in the car. She came because she heard that President Lang and Lao Tan were going to be judges. Because this competition, their TV station had to follow up the whole process of interviews and make programs. Getting to know the judges and building a good relationship would get twice the result with half the effort.
The effect, not to mention President Lang is also the chief judge and an old acquaintance.
It was a lively gathering with everyone, including leaders at the autonomous region, city, and district levels. Although Minister Zhao had resigned, his power was still there. Director Sun and Toyadawa were very polite and respectful when they met.
At the wine table, Lao Tan asked President Lang about the specifics of the competition in detail. President Lang said that this competition was co-organized by the Ordos Tourism Service Bureau, the Foreign Investment Promotion Bureau, and fully supported by the government. It was mainly used for publicity through the competition to attract people.
External investment, after all, today’s Ordos is no longer what it used to be and has begun to decline.
Most of the participating restaurants are from some northern provinces, including Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Beijing, Shandong, the three northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia, with a total of more than 80 restaurants and 110 chefs.
The competition lasts for three days, including an inspection visit by foreign merchants, a roasted whole beef feast and a large community party.
"To put it bluntly, the competition is just a gimmick. It mainly attracts wealthy people so that they can invest. Isn't it like this now? Government support, investment promotion and hosting, and travel services are the vanguard. It's okay to talk about political achievements, and it's right to be pragmatic. It has to be
A little bit of action." Minister Zhao said sharply.
"Have all the local participating hotels received sponsorship fees?" Lao Tan asked.
"Take it, can you not take it? How much money can I have for travel service? I am so poor. Fifty thousand for a mid-range hotel, one hundred thousand for a larger hotel, five hundred thousand for something like Xibei." President Lang said.
Lao Tan laughed, and even though he was joking, he told the truth: "I have to give them a champion."
"That's not possible." President Lang said, somewhat helplessly.
After Lao Tan learned about the competition, he confirmed with Minister Zhao that senior officials from the provincial capital would come over in July, and then started drinking together in a formal manner.
No one here, male or female, old or young, is a light drinker. They drank two whole boxes of Mongolian King, which averaged out to a pound and a half per person. It was considered a heavy drink.
It was already twelve o'clock when Lao Tan arrived at the apartment. After taking a bath and waking up, he felt a little hungry. He saw a box of dumplings on the coffee table and knew that Zhou Xiaomei had brought them back. After eating dumplings and smoking a cigarette, he was about to lie down when Zhang Li called.
Already.
"You haven't slept yet?" Lao Tan asked. He had doubts in his heart. Zhang Li never called so late. He felt something was wrong.
"Aren't you asleep too?" Zhang Li said with a bit of resentment.
"Is something wrong?" Lao Tan asked with concern.
"It's okay, I can't sleep. I'll call you to chat." Lao Tan's concerned tone made Zhang Li feel warm in her heart, and she lay down lazily.
"Haha, what's going on? Are you upset? Who messed with you? Tell me, if you can't, go back and avenge you." Old Tan knew Zhang Li, and judged from her tone that something bad must have happened.
"When did you care about me so much? I'm flattered. I have to see if the sun rises from the west tomorrow." Zhang Li said with a smile.
"It's nothing, you wouldn't call me at this hour."
Zhang Li smiled, the anger in her heart disappeared, and she briefly talked about Ren Qingyun.
"It's okay, don't be angry, wait until I go back to deal with him." Old Tan was very angry. He could imagine the situation at that time and understand Zhang Li's grievance. Then he said: "Don't think about anything now, just lie on the bed and have a good sleep. I will
Well, I can’t let you be bullied.”
"With these words from you, I feel satisfied." Zhang Li said movedly, almost crying.
"You've been wronged. Don't worry. When I go back to help you get justice and clean up his bastard, just tell me, braise or stew?"
Zhang Li was amused. She knew it was a joke, but she was very charming. She couldn't help but said emotionally: "Old Tan, you are so kind."
"Okay, actually I feel pretty good myself," Lao Tan said.
"Beautiful." Zhang Lijiao said angrily and touched her face with her free hand, which was actually a little hot.
She suddenly felt that the word "stinky beauty" was a bit ambiguous and flirting--but this feeling was so beautiful that her heart couldn't help but beat twice more, which made her involuntarily say something more flirting.
"Old Tan, I miss you so much now - it would be great if you were by my side, you could hold me -" she murmured.
Lao Tan was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Zhang Li's face appeared in front of her, smiling and very beautiful.
He pressed speakerphone, put down the phone, and lit a cigarette.
"Have you smoked?" Zhang Li heard the sound of the lighter.
"Um------"
"Why are you nervous? I can still get out of the phone. It will scare you."
Zhang Li giggled, her voice so clear in the room.
"Are you happy?" Lao Tan also smiled.
"I'm not happy about that." Zhang Li said as she pulled the quilt over and hugged her comfortably. She sighed sadly and said, "I can't hold you in my arms, so I'll tell you...
Tan, we just can’t be together in this life and we can’t become husband and wife, but I still love you and treat you as my man------It would be great if I were you today------"
Lao Tan said: "I will also bully you."
"It's different. To gangsters, it's bullying, but you're love, and I'm willing to do it."
This should be the most beautiful love words for a man.
