Chapter 1521: Missed Projects

Proprietor Chen, who was eating watermelon, had always been very principled.

For example, this time, when he went to get watermelon for the fourth time, the waiter carefully reminded him again: "Sir, the tea party starts at 3:30, if you eat so much watermelon, you won't be able to drink tea later."

Hot tea with iced watermelon, one burst is a big bubble, it really won't work.

Proprietor Chen dismissed it: "I'm a rough person, I don't like drinking tea, if I don't drink it, I don't drink it—hurry, get me another plate of watermelon."

A businessman, his word is his bond! If he says he won't drink, he won't drink!

Proprietor Chen was so firm.

It wasn't that he didn't drink tea, it was just that he talked about business in other places last year, from all over the world, and now he had picked up some habits from other people's homes.

For example, there were gradually no chrysanthemum and wolfberry in his cup, but authentic dried tangerine peel bought at a high price from somewhere.

Mere tea? It's fine not to drink it.

He then brought back a plate of watermelon with satisfaction.

However, when he turned his head, he found that the friend who came with him was still crunching on a peach. This made Proprietor Zhang very disdainful:

"You really don't know how to eat. What's so good about peaches? In summer, you still have to eat watermelon."

The friend didn't even lift his head: "You're right."

Proprietor Zhang:...

"That's not right!" He suddenly reacted: "Where did you get the peach?"

On the dining table were watermelon, cherry tomatoes, fresh tender small cucumbers, and some sweet melons of ordinary varieties.

The sweet melon was naturally ripe, and it was quite fragrant, but the quantity was not large. Proprietor Zhang didn't pay attention and it was gone, so he focused on watermelon.

Thinking of this, he muttered again: "This Chang Letian is really the richer he is, the stingier he is. The business is so big, he doesn't even want to put out some good fruit on the table."

Look at these, what mediocre varieties!

After he finished speaking, he took another "crunch" bite of watermelon, and then reluctantly admitted: the fruit selection is still very excellent.

The friend was gnawing on the peach carefully: "Hmm hmm hmm."

He chewed slowly. The rough personality of eating a big piece of white sliced meat at once, now looked like a lady, small bite by small bite...

Zhang is making a fuss.

Proprietor Zhang was very displeased.

Just as he was thinking, he saw the waiter walk over to remind him: "Sir, if you eat too many peaches, please don't drink hot tea later, so as not to affect your stomach..."

Eat too many?!

Proprietor Zhang was stunned: Can you eat too many of these peaches?!

But he saw his friend swearing: "Is Chang Letian doing it on purpose? He's stingy with fruit, so he lets us drink tea! I only ate four of those peaches, where is it too many?!"

Proprietor Zhang numbly inserted a piece of watermelon to eat, thinking that the peach was quite big, I'm afraid you're full after eating four...

No one cared what they were thinking, but at another table, Peach Blossom was gnawing on a peach while struggling:

Oh my! It's only three o'clock now! If she drinks tea half an hour after eating the peach, she shouldn't get a stomachache, right?

Since that's the case, it shouldn't be a problem to eat another plate of watermelon later?

She buried her head and went crazy, and several bosses behind her were also scolding: "This Old Chang! Putting fruit and hot tea together, it's really not well-intentioned!"

"He's really stingy! That peach was only put in a row of small baskets, I went to eat a plate of watermelon, and when I turned my head, it was gone!"

"Exactly! That sweet melon too, the old variety of naturally ripe sweet melon, cut open and soft like sand, rich and sweet!"

"I tasted it too, I only ate one, and it was gone!"

"I even asked the waiter, they said the fruit is limited, it's gone!"

Peach Blossom thought this couldn't be blamed on the proprietor—if you eat your fill of fruit, who would still buy tea?

If you keep eating until the tasting event starts in the evening, who would still be able to drink liquor?

Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse!

She didn't know anyone here, except for eating, she could only keep fiddling with her phone to avoid embarrassment. Unexpectedly, when she lowered her head, she heard the people sitting next to her greeting each other:

"Are you... Little Zuo?"

"Yes, Zuo of Little Zuo—are you also a book fan? Xiaosheng Mengmei?"

These two names sounded like ordinary internet names, but only those in the fan group knew that these were characters that had appeared in Lu Chuan's books.

【Little Zuo】 was a young swordsman who was good at using a left-handed sword, innocent, persistent, and hot-blooded, and was finally cut off his left arm when resisting visitors from outside the sky.

【Xiaosheng Mengmei】 was also a theatrical young student who was looked down upon in one of Lu Chuan's books, named after playing Liu Mengmei—it was finally discovered that he was the boss behind the scenes.

Readers meet, cherishing each other.

But after the two confirmed their eyes, the first thing they did was to pull the fruit plate back again.

It wasn't that they were stingy, it was really that they were recommended by the author to buy fruit, and they couldn't buy it no matter how they bought it. Now that they finally ate it, the quantity was not guaranteed...

Oh my!

Mere fruit, no need to share, right?

Peach Blossom, who was silently pricking up her ears:...

She was originally stuffing things into her mouth, who knew that at this moment another person sat at this table, and then took out the invitation letter to look at it: "I heard there is dinner tonight? Is it also made with vegetables from Qiaoqiao's home?"

He cautiously touched his bulging stomach: "I've been eating fruit all afternoon, it's all water, I should be able to make space for the evening, right?"

Hiss!

This is so important!

At this moment, everyone at the table, whether they knew each other or not, looked at each other, and then tacitly blocked their mouths, and pushed the plate in front of them a little bit.

Peach Blossom even stood up: "The tea party hasn't started yet, I'll walk around to digest first."

Everyone: "Go together, go together..."

Some people here had acquaintances, everyone chatted in twos and threes, conveying news. Not long after, the whole venue was full of people walking around messily.

The waiter carried the plate and was caught in the middle, dazed and couldn't find the protagonist for a while.

And at another table, the two partners responsible for copyright procurement just brought by Editor Yun Feng looked at each other, and then looked at the venue, and couldn't help but laugh:

"The place is chosen quite well, the entrance looks quite formal, why is this venue like a grass-roots troupe? Isn't it said that we are going to taste tea soon?"

"Did we come late, missed some project—wait, that table in the corner seems to be our boss's previous partner!"

The two were refreshed, and then silently searched for familiar faces in the venue. Now staring at the invitation letter in their hands, they were dazed for a while:

"Editor Yun Feng said the opportunity is rare, I thought he was going to push a key IP this year, didn't expect..."

Judging from the identity of the guests, this tasting event is really quite standard!

Then they frowned again: "It seems we really came late, there must have been some project that just ended before."

"Look over there. The one walking around with hands on his waist over there is the one our President Wang specially entertained..."

The two were puzzled: What exactly was the missed project?

Why does everyone have to walk around the venue! And they are all holding their stomachs... is it counting steps? ===== CHAPTER 1522 =====
