Chapter 985: Starting

At No. 27, near the end of the workday, Fan Xiao Mei Ping looked at Miss Comrade Xiao Wang, who had gone to the window for the sixth time, and felt curious.

She asked: "Comrade Comrade Xiao Comrade Xiao Wang, is there something wrong? You've gone to the window six times."

"Nothing."

Fan Xiao Mei Ping, of course, didn't believe it. She couldn't help but get up and take a look.

She saw a black Santana slowly stop by the side of the road. A man in a cool outfit of shorts and a half-sleeve shirt, as usual, got out of the car, looked over here, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and swayed toward the Huangpu River.

She was surprised: "Comrade Comrade Xiao Comrade Xiao Wang, look quickly, is that Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban? Did you make an appointment with Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban?"

Miss Comrade Xiao Wang, who had gone back to sit, hadn't even touched the stool before she ran back, leaning against the window to look down. The third floor wasn't high, and she saw it very clearly.

She smiled and said: "It's Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban; we made an appointment yesterday to eat at Red Heron tonight."

"Yesterday?"

"That's right."

Miss Comrade Xiao Wang nodded. "Last night, I went to eat pork chop rice cakes, and asked you if you wanted to go together. It just happened that I met Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban; he hadn't been back for long.

When we were chatting, we said that he used to set up a stall to sell mutton skewers on Huanghe Road, but he hadn't eaten at the restaurants on Huanghe Road, which was a pity. Now that he's finished his work and has plenty of time, he wants to eat at all the restaurants on Huanghe Road.

He asked me if I wanted to go, but he didn't give people a chance to refuse, and gave me quite a few achievements, so I was embarrassed. Anyway, I had nothing to do after work, and everyone is a good friend, so I agreed."

Fan Xiao Mei Ping, of course, didn't believe Miss Comrade Xiao Wang's words. After all, if it were really as relaxed as she said, she wouldn't have run to the window six times.

She said embarrassedly: "Comrade Comrade Xiao Comrade Xiao Wang... can you... introduce me to Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban..."

Miss Comrade Xiao Wang didn't care and nodded without hesitation: "Of course, no problem; you can go down with me in a while."

"Thank you, Comrade Comrade Xiao Comrade Xiao Wang."

"This is nothing. But he only has involvement with us in clothing. You know, he does his own brand, from raw materials like cotton and rubber to textiles, and then to finished clothing—he operates them all.

Unlike other bosses who do OEM and labeling. If you want to introduce business to him, I'm afraid it's very difficult. However, he is very easy to talk to; I can help you say a few words."

"Really? Then thank you very much, Comrade Comrade Xiao Comrade Xiao Wang."

Miss Comrade Xiao Wang waved her hand indifferently. Seeing Comrade Xiao Wang Yan looking over, she waved to respond.

She turned and said: "Hurry up and pack your things; don't let Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban wait too long."

"Good." Fan Xiao Mei Ping nodded with a smile and returned to her workstation with Comrade Comrade Xiao Comrade Xiao Wang...

"Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban!" Still some distance away, Miss Comrade Xiao Wang greeted loudly, not caring about the eyes of others.

She was so enthusiastic, sunny...

"Waited long?"

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan seriously raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Twelve minutes. You didn't see it, it wasn't long. Who is this?"

Miss Comrade Xiao Wang said "Oh," and pulled Fan Xiao Mei Ping, who was following behind, to the front: "This is Fan Xiao Mei Ping, my colleague and also a good friend. Look, Fan Xiao Mei Ping, this is Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban, you've seen him before."

Fan Xiao Mei Ping restrained herself, smiled very enthusiastically, and reached out her hand: "Hello, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban, you can call me Fan Fan Xiao Fan Xiao Mei."

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Hello, Comrade Fan Fan Xiao Fan Xiao Mei."

Before Miss Comrade Xiao Wang could speak, Comrade Xiao Wang Yan said: "Since you are Miss Comrade Xiao Wang's friend, if you have anything, you can tell me. If I can help, I will; if I can't, you can't blame me for not helping."

Fan Xiao Mei Ping nodded and said: "It's like this, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban, I have a small order in my hand, but I can't find a factory. I want you to help introduce a reliable factory."

"You're not being honest. You are Miss Comrade Xiao Wang's colleague and work at No. 27. There's no shortage of people doing foreign trade orders here. Moreover, asking me to introduce a reliable factory—this is something I really can't do.

Don't look at me doing clothing business; I really don't have much communication with my peers. My factory only does business for my own brand."

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan shook his head, looked at Miss Comrade Xiao Wang again, and turned to Fan Xiao Mei Ping, whose face was already a bit hard to maintain and looked embarrassed. "How about this, my clothing brand is about to enter South Africa. Miss Comrade Xiao Wang doesn't need this one, but it seems you need it very much. Let this procedure go through you; it counts as a work achievement for you, and it also counts as me helping you."

Miss Comrade Xiao Wang nodded; she really didn't need this one. Because today she heard from Hongyun's finance that Hongyun's brand was about to enter Europe...

She clapped her hands: "It's settled."

Fan Xiao Mei Ping nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban."

"You should thank Miss Comrade Xiao Wang."

"Oh my, we're all friends, don't be polite." Miss Comrade Xiao Wang waved her hand, interrupting the words Fan Xiao Mei Ping hadn't finished.

"Then I still have to thank you." Fan Xiao Mei Ping smiled.

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan said: "Then Comrade Fan Fan Xiao Fan Xiao Mei, we'll go first, see you again."

"See you again, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban."

Fan Xiao Mei Ping smiled brightly. She watched the two get in the car and drive away, and she waved with a smile. As she waved, the smile on her face disappeared, and it was the same gloom as in the drama.

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan's help made her feel even more uncomfortable in her heart. Everything was in three words: "Why me?"

She also worked hard at No. 27, so why was Miss Comrade Xiao Wang's performance better than hers? Why was Jin Hua Miss Comrade Xiao Wang's master? And why did Miss Comrade Xiao Wang have Boss Bao first and then Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban? Why did she receive various gifts and enter various high-end places?

Why couldn't it be her?

This was the root of her jealousy.

Truth be told, Miss Comrade Xiao Wang also had a background, otherwise how could Jin Hua be her master? But outside of this background, Miss Comrade Xiao Wang naturally had her advantages. After all, her background wasn't awesome to the sky; if she wasn't capable enough, she could only be relatively good, not as good as she was now.

This was something Fan Xiao Mei Ping hadn't thought about.

Most of the negative characters had such a common point: they didn't look for problems in themselves first, but only saw the good in others. This was hard to last long...

"How is Fan Xiao Mei Ping, not bad, right? She's my best friend at No. 27." Miss Comrade Xiao Wang sat in the passenger seat and asked Comrade Xiao Wang Yan very happily.

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan told the truth: "Very ambitious."

"Of course, who at No. 27 doesn't have ambition."

"I mean, you should pay more attention, don't tell everything to others. It's no problem for her to be ambitious, but what if she steps on you to be ambitious?"

"Impossible, she's not that kind of person."

"In past struggles, before the identity of a spy was exposed, many people said it was impossible. But the final result was often shocking."

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan said, "I'm not denying your eye for making friends, but telling you that when people grow up, they can't go back to childhood. At any time, being cautious in words and actions and maintaining vigilance are necessary. Comrades aren't all like-minded; there are always bad people disguised. You have to be clear about it yourself."

Miss Comrade Xiao Wang pouted, looking unconvinced: "Is it for my own good again?"

"Of course it's for your own good. Miss Comrade Xiao Wang, you have to be clear, I'm a boss with some strength, I've been to many places at home and abroad, and I've seen many people. Do you think I have so much leisure to nag with everyone?"

"I know everything you said, Uncle Ye also told me." Miss Comrade Xiao Wang was quite impatient, changed the subject, "Oh my, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban is modest; you are a real big boss, not a boss with some strength."

"You didn't listen to a word."

Miss Comrade Xiao Wang pouted, still unconvinced, but she didn't say anything more, patted the seat and said: "You also said it, you're such a big boss, and you still drive a Santana? Now everyone talks about the Tiger-head Benz."

"A car is just a means of transport; I think this car is quite good. Didn't you feel the seat is different? Didn't you see my steering wheel is also different?"

"Oh, you say that, I just felt it. The seat is indeed quite comfortable; the steering wheel was changed to wood? Is it reliable?"

"Of course it's reliable. The inside is also a normal structure; it's just that the circle I'm holding is made of whole yellow pear wood from the Qing Dynasty. And the seat, I specifically customized it outside, and also found an engineer from SAIC to modify it for me."

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan liked to modify his Santana like this; it had a feeling and was to his taste.

"Cost a lot of money, right?"

"No matter how much it costs, it's not as expensive as a Tiger-head Benz."

"Looking at it this way, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban still knows how to enjoy. Driving a Santana isn't eye-catching, and it's much more comfortable than other cars."

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan smiled: "I said you have vision."

Perhaps it was because she thought of something interesting, in short, Miss Comrade Xiao Wang laughed happily...

Just as Miss Comrade Xiao Wang said, Comrade Xiao Wang Yan was indeed a big boss now, after all, he was the richest man in the country. And he actually had quite a bit of energy, all of which he met when he collected inheritance in the Soviet Union, including some people who docked at home.

It was just that he was low-key, his name wasn't obvious, and most people only heard the news passed down countless times, only knowing that there was a boss who was very awesome, made a lot of money in the Soviet Union, did a big business, dared to buy anything, and dared to sell anything. As for the specifics, they couldn't say a word.

Including A-Bao, he only knew that Comrade Xiao Wang Yan was very awesome and heard some vague things about Comrade Xiao Wang Yan, but he didn't know how awesome he was. But he believed that in fact, if it wasn't for Comrade Xiao Wang Yan's year and a half, the direct sales stores of the clothing brand almost opened all over the country's major cities, and even opened abroad, he wouldn't dare to match Comrade Xiao Wang Yan with the legendary awesome person.

He, of course, knew some people who made a fortune in the Soviet Union, but he hadn't heard of anyone who expanded as much as Comrade Xiao Wang Yan, which couldn't be done by simply flipping some supplies.

Of course, Comrade Xiao Wang Yan was just because of the special era. Although it was difficult for him to do it bit by bit, even if he didn't use the "Great Strength Pill" and just developed seasoning and herbal tea drinks, he could accumulate wealth, but it wouldn't be so fast. If he were to develop slowly and reach the current level, it would be difficult to succeed without five, seven, or eight years...

As the lights came on, Huanghe Road was still that Huanghe Road. Although Comrade Xiao Wang Yan hadn't been here for almost two years, there was no change here; it was still so fascinating.

Jing Xiu was still lying on the window of the small pavilion, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, watching the passing pedestrians and traffic with a foolish grin.

Just at this time, he turned his head and saw a black Santana stop beside his small pavilion. However, he didn't care. Just like when Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban set up a stall here, he didn't block his way in and out, and didn't grab his business, so he didn't care.

Thinking of Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban, Jingxiu looked at his shorts and half-sleeve shirt, and reached out to pinch the material of the clothes, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

He remembered very clearly that it was a day in March 1990, right here, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban said "You say the waves have an end, I say it's wave after wave. Jingxiu, do you think I can step on the next wave?" At that time, he said "Oh my, Brother Comrade Xiao Wang, wouldn't that be from Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban to Comrade Xiao Wang Zong. Comrade Xiao Wang Zong, smoke Zhonghua."

He heard clearly that although Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban was a question, he said it affirmatively. He didn't believe it at the time, just based on the spirit of not offending people, casually echoing, after all, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban had just fought off more than a dozen hooligans alone, and he was scared.

He didn't expect that he would never wait for Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban beside his small pavilion again. What he waited for was people's discussion. Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban really opened a store, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban really hired workers, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban did clothing, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban opened logistics, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban had a branch in Hong Kong, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban went to the Soviet Union to make a fortune, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban's clothing brand sold well, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban sued Nike, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban sponsored the national team...

Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban never came to Huanghe Road again, but Huanghe Road never lacked Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban.

Under the dim light of the 20-watt bulb in the small pavilion, by Jingxiu's hand, there was a stack of newspapers, including *Southern Weekly*, *China Youth Daily*, and some local newspapers in Shanghai, etc. The headlines on the front page were very unified.

"Chinese brand, helping Chinese athletes, achieving Chinese dreams. Cheer for the Olympics, cheer for China. Hongyun Clothing, wish the Chinese Olympic National Representative Team, show style! Win good results!"

Then, it was the big group photo of the representative team going to Barcelona, which was enlarged to the whole page, 118 male athletes, 133 female athletes, as well as the coaching staff and logistics personnel, etc. In turn, it listed the names of all the people traveling, as well as a brief introduction of their date of birth and household registration...

Jingxiu was still thinking, when he saw the Santana door stop beside his small pavilion open, and it was indeed the Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban he was just thinking about. What made his eyes widen was that on the passenger side, the person who got off was actually Miss Comrade Xiao Wang. That these two people actually knew each other and came out alone was something he had never thought of.

"Comrade Xiao Wang... Brother? Miss Comrade Xiao Wang." Jingxiu waved his hand. He wasn't sure how to address Comrade Xiao Wang Yan, and seeing Comrade Xiao Wang Yan nod with a smile, he followed up and said Brother Comrade Xiao Wang.

He came out of the pavilion, "Long time no see, Brother Comrade Xiao Wang."

"You too, Jingxiu, are you all doing well?" Comrade Xiao Wang Yan patted his arm.

"I don't have any changes. It's you, Brother Comrade Xiao Wang, I've heard all your legends on Huanghe Road."

"Just lucky, caught up with a good era, a good wave. Oh my, not bad, Jingxiu, taking care of my business."

Jingxiu smiled naively: "I didn't expect Brother Comrade Xiao Wang to be so successful, and still wear the same as me."

"It's hot, cool and comfortable is the most important thing. In such weather, a suit and tie wouldn't be suffocating? Besides, my clothes, if I don't wear them, that would be too inappropriate."

"I saw the news you bought, all front pages, I'm afraid you bought all the news in the country? What a big hand, Brother Comrade Xiao Wang, with such a big momentum, it's hard not to make a fortune."

"What news?" Miss Comrade Xiao Wang didn't understand.

"Oh my, Miss Comrade Xiao Wang, it's all in the newspaper. Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban sponsored our national team to participate in the Olympics, and the news is overwhelming." Jingxiu hurriedly ran two more steps and took out the stack of newspapers from the window, "Look, Miss Comrade Xiao Wang, they are all the latest."

Miss Comrade Xiao Wang flipped through it once, muttering to herself: "Why didn't I hear others say it."

Her muttering wasn't small, and Comrade Xiao Wang Yan smiled and took the conversation: "Maybe you're busy with work, or maybe you don't like reading newspapers. I bought a lot of news, and there will be more in a few days; you'll see it sooner or later."

Jingxiu asked curiously: "Brother Comrade Xiao Wang, how did you and Miss Comrade Xiao Wang get to know each other?"

"That was really a coincidence, but it was also inevitable. After I left here, I got to know Boss Bao, and Miss Comrade Xiao Wang also knows Boss Bao; we were bound to know each other sooner or later." Comrade Xiao Wang Yan explained, but didn't explain.

Jingxiu understood, but didn't understand. He smiled and turned to ask: "You haven't been to Huanghe Road for two years, Brother Comrade Xiao Wang, what are you doing here with Miss Comrade Xiao Wang today..."

"Coming to Huanghe Road, of course, is to eat."

"Miss Comrade Xiao Wang is right, coming here is to eat." Comrade Xiao Wang Yan laughed, "You know, Jingxiu, I only ate at Jin Meilin, and I didn't spend money. There are so many restaurants left, I haven't tasted any of them. Speaking of which, I started here, but I haven't eaten at a few restaurants here, and I always feel it's missing something, so I came here to make up for it."

"Oh my, I've been here for three years, but I haven't eaten at any of them. When I make a fortune like Brother Comrade Xiao Wang, I'll have to eat well too."

"Why wait for the future, come with me."

"No, no, no, Brother Comrade Xiao Wang, you and Miss Comrade Xiao Wang eat, I'm not comfortable."

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan shook his head with a smile and patted his arm: "Go."

From beginning to end, the word "Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban" didn't appear in Jingxiu's mouth...

Jingxiu smiled and watched Comrade Xiao Wang Yan and Miss Comrade Xiao Wang, who was holding a stack of newspapers, enter Red Heron, and then returned to the pavilion, saying to the waiter girl waiting outside: "Hiding for leisure again?"

"Oh my, Brother Jingxiu, I'm here to buy cigarettes for guests. You're talking to people, so it's not good to disturb. Was that Miss Comrade Xiao Wang just now? Who is the man together? Are Miss Comrade Xiao Wang and Boss Bao not good anymore?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Miss Comrade Xiao Wang is Miss Comrade Xiao Wang, Boss Bao is Boss Bao, understand?" Jingxiu looked serious, then said, "That man, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban, understand?"

"Seems like the one grilling mutton skewers next to you? He is?"

Jingxiu nodded with a smile: "That's old news, why mention it? Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban is so awesome, you should have heard of it. Huanghe Road is going to be lively now. Alright, if you can't find the guests, they will scold you, and your boss will deduct your wages. What cigarettes do you want?"

"Zhonghua."

"I remember the results of the '88 Olympics weren't very good. If the results aren't good this time, won't you lose money?"

"Awareness, Comrade Comrade Comrade Xiao Comrade Xiao Wang." Comrade Xiao Wang Yan shook his head. "I'm a sports brand, supporting our country's sports cause, this is what I should do. If I lose money, I won't support it? Moreover, the last failure was to learn from experience. This time it must be better. Besides, I've lost so much, am I afraid of losing this news marketing fee again?

It's just that there are methods for marketing. If there are few champions, highlight individuals; if there are many champions, promote both groups and individuals. Overall, it can't be said to be a loss."

"Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban has the highest awareness." Miss Comrade Xiao Wang gave a thumbs up and asked again, "Did your company send people to follow?"

"Of course. To take photos, do personal interviews, shoot documentaries, and help with logistics service work. I even specifically established a media company just to show the front and back of athletes, including their family, teachers, classmates, friends, etc., all of which must be interviewed."

"If you want to talk about great influence, basketball and football seem quite good, right? Why don't you just set up a team yourself? It shouldn't cost too much money, right? If the results are good in the future, your income will also be great."

"Why did you think of setting up a team?"

"You know Fan Zhiyi, right? A player on the Shanghai football team, living upstairs from me, I have to call him elder sister."

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "What you said makes sense. Later, I'll have people organize it. Basketball and football will both pull out a team. As for the name..."

"Shanghai Hongyun, right? Does this still need thinking?"

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan laughed: "You're right, let's call it Shanghai Hongyun."

In a few sentences, the two had walked a distance, crossed the road, and came to the door of Red Heron restaurant.

"Miss Comrade Xiao Wang didn't come with Boss Bao today, this gentleman, uh..." The manager of Red Heron, Ruth, saw Comrade Xiao Wang Yan's face, was stunned for a moment, and said, "You are Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban, right?"

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "If I remember correctly, you are Ruth?" Ruth had also bought mutton skewers from him, and even let Jingxiu tell him to grill a few skewers separately and enjoy the deliciousness secretly behind Jingxiu's small pavilion.

"It's me, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban has a good memory. Hurry, hurry, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban is really a distinguished guest, please inside, please inside." Ruth invited very happily and enthusiastically. "If Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban doesn't mind, wait a moment, the private room is full now, I will definitely clear one for you in a while."

"Do you want to go to a private room?"

Miss Comrade Xiao Wang shook her head: "If there isn't one, don't trouble people. Besides, there are only two of us, and a private room is a waste. Ruth, we'll sit at the scattered table, we want a seat by the window." She made the decision directly.

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan raised an eyebrow at Ruth and turned slightly toward Miss Comrade Xiao Wang: "Listen to her. Serve your signature dishes, eight dishes and one soup for the two of us."

"Just serve the dishes, your portions are small, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban is a big eater, he can eat a lot, it won't be wasted." Miss Comrade Xiao Wang explained considerately to Ruth, who was a bit confused.

"Okay, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban, Miss Comrade Xiao Wang, please this way."

Such famous big restaurants naturally couldn't really open all private rooms to guests. Including hotel rooms, hospital beds, etc., they were all the same principle.

Ruth's saying that she would clear a private room in a while was, in fact, to slip away to the front desk to call the boss and ask to open the reserved private room for Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban.

On this point, Comrade Xiao Wang Yan wouldn't doubt himself. The boss of Red Heron hadn't appeared, very mysterious, giving people some reverie, but for Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban who set up a stall to sell grilled mutton skewers, it was just like that. For Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban whose business had expanded, it was even more like that.

So the dishes were served very quickly. The two sat down and didn't say a few words, and dish after dish of beautifully plated dishes were served on the table.

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan nodded at Miss Comrade Xiao Wang, and Miss Comrade Xiao Wang said: "I didn't say wrong, right? The taste is very good."

"It's indeed stronger than what I make. Not bad, Miss Comrade Xiao Wang, you really know how to eat."

"I have a tongue, okay?" Miss Comrade Xiao Wang gave a white eye and said, "Actually, I think you don't need to eat every restaurant once. Like Huanghe Road, it's just that a dozen or so are okay. Just go to places where business is booming, and you won't be wrong. It can't be said to be very good, but it's definitely not the worst. There are over a hundred restaurants on Huanghe Road, and there are renovations every day, which shows the problem."

"What you said makes sense, but you always have to try. No one can say whether there are restaurants with good taste that have been buried for various reasons. Our country has a large population, and there are many capable people; don't underestimate them. It's like if I didn't try, I probably wouldn't eat pork chop rice cakes, and then how would our fate of five meetings start?"

"What you said makes sense, but we really have fate, we can meet five times. I go three or four times a week, and there are always three or four days empty, and every time you can come when I go. If I didn't know, I would suspect that you were watching me go first, and then drove to the pork chop rice cake place. Do you think we can meet next time?"

"Who knows? But we are so familiar, I think there is no need to be like this. Maybe I want to eat pork chop rice cakes, call you in advance, and then pick you up to go together would be better. What do you think?"

"I think what you said is right." Miss Comrade Xiao Wang nodded.

"Eat Golden Eight Immortals tomorrow, do you want to come?"

"No, once or twice is fine, but eating and drinking with you every day is violating discipline. When I came, you told me to be cautious in words and actions, but now you want me to violate discipline."

"Don't you forget? I know your deputy bureau chief."

"Don't, you must not, this is a major problem."

Comrade Xiao Wang Yan smiled and didn't say anything, turned his head to look out the window: "It was fine when we came, now it's raining."

"You have a car, it's convenient." Miss Comrade Xiao Wang said, "You said yesterday to make an appointment to cook at Ye Dongjing, when is it?"

"It's not good if people aren't together. I heard Boss Bao is coming back soon. I'll go back and ask Lingzi to see what she says."

"Good. You know, Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban, it's strange, you only said yesterday that you wanted to cook, making me consolidate my memory of the taste, and I feel like I'm going to forget it."

"Oh my, forgot so quickly? Then I have to be as fast as possible; deepening memory is urgent."

The two chatted like this...

There was quite a bit of rain in Shanghai, and people were very used to it, so even if it rained, it didn't have a major impact on the bustle of Huanghe Road. Similarly, the news that Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban had achieved success and returned to Huanghe Road spread, and the past things were turned over again.

Lu Meilin looked at the heavy rain outside the window, looking at the figure by the window of Red Heron that could be vaguely seen, the damn memories surged into her heart, and she expressed that she was very irritable...

Pork chop rice cake shop.

This was Yunnan South Road, and the business was originally prosperous. But for individual small shops, rain inevitably affected business. The owner had nothing to do, moved a stool to sit at the door after cleaning the table, lit a cigarette, and looked at the scene on the street with interest. Some people were drenched by the rain, and some were sitting in cars.

Unknowingly, the rain became heavier and heavier, drenching those who were unprepared and those who didn't sit in cars into drowned rats. Some chose to run, and some let the rain hit their bodies, walking peacefully instead.

The owner didn't realize anything in this rain; he just thought of Miss Comrade Xiao Wang.

It was a rainy day of the same size, and Miss Comrade Xiao Wang was the one who walked into the rain peacefully. Her smile was always so bright, and the first sentence when entering the door was "Same as usual," and the second sentence was "Has Comrade Xiao Wang Laoban been here"...

He could be considered to have watched Miss Comrade Xiao Wang grow up. When he took over this shop, Miss Comrade Xiao Wang was only ten or so years old. He, of course, knew very well the frequency of Miss Comrade Xiao Wang coming here, and he had a number in his heart.

Over the

Over the past half year, he clearly noticed that Miss Comrade Xiao Wang had been coming more frequently; out of seven days a week, Miss Comrade Xiao Wang would eat there four or five days. He couldn't remember how many times this conversation had been repeated—a hundred times, at least.

He knew that Miss Comrade Xiao Wang was looking forward to another encounter...
