Chapter 304: Beautiful and delicious
“You still don’t understand Mr. Xu, he wants all the beauties in the country.” Teng Huaming said with a smile.
"But I don't see how much he attaches importance to our new dream. Except for the annual meeting, he came today only more than two months ago and hasn't stayed long." The secretary said.
“Don’t just look at things at face value.” Teng Hua Ming said.
Although Xu Liang has not been here for a long time, years ago, he sent someone to take away all the financial documents of the entire new dream, including all income and expenditure bills.
Then a lot of phone calls came in.
Many people from New Dreams were called to the Fukai Building where Hongyan Fund is located for questioning.
Only half came back in the end, and most of the remaining half were fired. Seven of them were sent to prison for internal corruption.
Teng Huaming also didn’t expect that his seemingly sound finances would actually hide such a big loophole.
Through this incident, he discovered that the big boss didn't pay attention to the company, he just hid himself deeper behind the scenes.
If you feel that he is not paying attention and is slacking off, then the guillotine will fall on your head.
"Xiao Ding, call the construction company to urge them. The progress of the concert hall is too slow."
"Yes."
——
When we got to the car, there were no longer so many attention-seeking eyes, and Mo Maniang's expression relaxed.
"How does it feel to be a part-time teacher?" Xu Liang asked with a smile.
"It's good. I have a greater sense of responsibility than when I was a student. And they all respect me." Mo Maniang said with a smile.
“For this respect, let’s have a good meal tonight.”
“What to eat?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
Xu Liang started the car and joined the rolling traffic. After a short time, he entered the city center, and then dense courtyards began to appear around him.
“We’re here.”
Xu Liang stopped the car.
Mo Maniang got off the car and glanced at the brightly lit Forbidden City not far away, and then at the deep courtyard in front of her.
Although she doesn’t have much social experience, she also knows that the courtyard houses here are not cheap.
The two men stepped forward.
After stepping onto the steps, Mo Maniang saw the three words on the plaque above the door.
Tan’s cuisine.
After ringing the doorbell, not long after, the closed door opened.
A young woman wearing work clothes appeared in front of her.
I couldn't help but take a few more glances at Mo Manniang. Even as a woman, I was surprised by her temperament and appearance.
"Hello, sir, madam, do you have an appointment?"
"Yes."
"Please give me your phone number."
After Xu Liang finished reporting, the woman checked that everything was correct and opened the courtyard door.
"You two, please come in."
After entering, Xu Liang found that the internal layout was no different from an ordinary second-entry courtyard house.
Although the furnishings in the box are elegant, they are not luxurious.
“This is our menu.”
As he said that, he handed it to Mo Maniang.
The latter looked towards Xu Liang with questioning eyes.
Obviously let him order.
"You know my preference, just order it."
Mo Maniang nodded and started ordering directly.
"Crab roe and shark's fin, bird's nest in clear soup, barbecued pork, braised duck liver, garlic scallops, spiced fish, soft fried chicken, grilled sausage. Okay, let's order these for now."
The waiter looked at the menu and hesitated.
"Madam, what you ordered is for five people, the two of you...?"
"If you can't finish it, we will pack it. It won't be wasted." Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Okay. We will serve the food as soon as possible."
The waiter turned and left.
Looking at the beauty opposite, Xu Liang smiled and said, "School will start soon, right?"
"There's still one week." Mo Maniang looked at him with beautiful eyes, "Will you go to school?"< br>
"Of course I will go on the first day of school. I also want to see if your skills have improved during my absence."
The corner of Mo Manniang's mouth curled up slightly, and she quickly subsided.
“My sketching is much better than before.”
"Then I want to take a look."
The beauty nodded slightly, and after a brief chat, the waiter brought the dishes.
Xu Liang picked up the chopsticks and said, "Are you ready to eat?"
After Mo Maniang nodded slightly, she picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of barbecued pork into her mouth, pressing her red lips tightly. , chew it carefully.
"How does it taste?" Xu Liang asked.
"It's better than the Sun's private kitchen you took me to eat last time."
"Of course. This Tan's cuisine was created by the family of Tan Zongjun, a bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty. Tan Zongjun was a high school student in the 13th year of Tongzhi. He was the first and second-ranked scholar in the palace examination.
This guy loved delicious food all his life. He spent a lot of money to hire Ming chefs to learn cooking skills and created the only "dish" created by Hanlin in history.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the three most famous private cuisines in the capital: the "Duan Family Cuisine" in the military world, the "Wang Family Cuisine" in the financial world, and the "Ren Family Cuisine" in the banking world all grew up and down with the rise and fall of the government officials. Ups and downs, and eventually wiped out.
However, Tanjia Cuisine, a private dish produced by a bureaucratic family in the Qing Dynasty, took root in the capital due to its unique color, aroma, shape and other characteristics, and has been passed down to this day.
It is very famous in the catering industry in Beijing, and has also won the favor of political and business celebrities, as well as big-name celebrities. You have to make a reservation several days in advance to eat here, otherwise you will not be able to get a seat. "
Xu Liangke did a lot of homework for today's meal.
"Thank you. ”
A smile appeared on Mo Maniang’s face.
For a moment, it was as if flowers were in bloom and the whole private room became bright.
Seeing this beautiful scene, Xu Liangliang instantly felt that all the homework he had done before was worth it.
“King Zhou You’s beacon-fire play with the princes’ praise and smile is nothing more than that.”
Looking at the straight eyes on the other side, Mo Manniang slowly calmed down her smile, “Eat quickly, Didn't you say you wanted to go to the movies before? ""No wonder the ancients said, "Beauty is good for dining." Now I finally understand the true meaning of this sentence.
Xu Liang said with a smile.
Mo Maniang raised her head and glanced at him without saying a word, holding her chopsticks and eating the food in front of her elegantly.
Seeing her like this, Xu Liang smiled and started to eat.
The two of them cleared away the dishes they ordered, then paid and left.
“Looking at the expression on the waiter’s face just now, I guess I have never seen such a good eater.” Xu Liang said with a smile.
“You can eat it, but I didn’t eat too much.”
Xu Liang smiled and did not argue.
"It's almost time. I've booked two tickets for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Don't be late again."
"Is it far?"
"Three or four intersections."
We drove a few turns and soon came to a movie theater.
Although today's movie theaters are not as good as those in later generations, which often had more than a dozen halls, there are not that many people watching movies.
When we got here, there was no queue.
Get your tickets and walk in directly.
The movie started after a while.
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was released last year, but when it was China's turn to be released, it was already 2002.
But the content was still the same as he remembered.
"The copyright of Harry Potter is a gold mine." Xu Liang said.
Later generations have made statistics, and the value derived from the entire Harry Potter copyright is nearly 30 billion U.S. dollars, ranking first in the world.
The combined value of all Marvel copyrights is not as valuable as one Harry Potter.
Speaking of this, I have to say that Warner did a good business and obtained the entire movie rights of "Harry Potter" for only $100.
"It would have been better if I had been born a few years earlier." Xu Liang said regretfully.
Time passed little by little, and everyone was immersed in the movie, except Xu Liang.
He had watched it several times in his previous life, but it was no longer fresh, and he didn’t think the adventure movie about three children was that good.
Turn your head.
Under the dim light of the screen, Mo Maniang’s side face, with a focused expression, was still beautiful.
The slender jade neck revealed after taking off the coat seems to be emitting fluorescence.
With long hair shawl, Xu Liang, who was close to Chi Zhi, could smell the faint fragrance on it.
As he turned his eyes, he saw the beauty's right hand casually placed on the seat. It had even bones and flesh, was slender and beautiful.
As a veteran who has been around Hua Cong for many years, Xu Liang naturally stretched out his hand and held the other person's little hand.
The moment he tightened his grip, Xu Liang instantly felt a tight force coming from him.
The next moment was a struggle, but not intense.
Xu Liang held it tightly and did not let go.
Looking at Mo Manniang's eyes, Xu Liang smiled.
"It was too cold outside just now, let me warm your hands."
After that, without waiting for the other party to react, he directly held the slender and white right hand between his own. Just the palm of your hand.
After a while, until the eyes on the left shifted to the screen again, Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief.
The first step was perfect.
Feeling the changes in his inner emotions, the long-lost tension of chasing a girl, made him feel as if his heart had become young again.
Two hours passed slowly, and with the death of Voldemort, the movie came to an end.
“Aren’t you letting go yet?”
A cold voice came.
"Sorry, sorry, I was so absorbed in watching the movie that I forgot." Xu Liang said and let go of his hands.
Mo Manniang moved her right hand, put on her coat, and walked outside.
Get in the car.
“It’s so late, why didn’t your parents call?”
"I told them that I would stay on campus tonight." Mo Maniang said.
"Live on campus? Is the school open?"
Mo Maniang glanced at him and didn't explain much.
But looking at her eyes, Xu Liang understood.
White lies.
Xu Liang drove towards his home and arrived soon.
"Where is this?"
"My home."
It can be seen that although Mo Maniang is already cold on the surface, her unconsciously clenched hand exposes her. Inner tension.
Xu Liang smiled, took out the remote control placed in the car and pressed it, and the rolling shutter door of the garage slowly rose.
The car drives in.
Looking at the nervous beauty, Xu Liang smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are many guest rooms in my house, you can just choose one."
Mo Manniang nodded, opened the door and left Go down.
After exiting the garage, you enter the courtyard.
As a native of the capital, he also understands the structure of the courtyard house. It was obvious that the garage was converted into an inverted house. Following Xu Liang through the second door, there was a spacious front yard.
The yard is kept clean and the surroundings are well lit.
As they entered, the door to the right wing opened and two middle-aged women in coats walked out.
"Mr. Xu, are you back?"
"Aunt Li, Aunt Wang, this is my college classmate. Please tidy up the guest room in the front yard so that she can stay."
“Okay, let’s go and clean it up right now.”
The two hurriedly walked towards the left wing.
