Chapter 271 The Drunken Hostess
Updated: 2013-07-11
Lin Tao did not expect that taking Shang Jingjing to the sweet potato shop would solve a big problem that he had been thinking about for a long time.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to open a branch, it's just that this branch is not easy to open, mainly because of Ma Zhiqiang's existence.With him around, the whole Sweet Potato Shop's business would be fine, but if another branch was to be opened, who would operate the roasted sweet potatoes was a big problem.
It is impossible for Lin Tao himself to condescend to the Sweet Potato Shop. There are still many important things waiting for him to do, and it is impossible to spend a lot of time running the branch every day.
But without myself and Ma Zhiqiang, there is really no one who can take over.Ma Zhiqiang's roasted sweet potatoes are of such a high level that it can be said that there is no second person in the Junbei area. If you want him to accept an apprentice now, you are not afraid of his personal secrets, but you are afraid that the apprentice will establish his own family after he completes his studies. This is not Lin Tao. want to see.
However, if Shang Jingjing's suggestion can be implemented today, it will really solve Lin Tao's worries. From then on, the problem of opening a branch is no longer whether there are skilled sweet potato roasters, but Ma Zhiqiang's own planting. The problem of insufficient production of special sweet potatoes.
Of course, there is one thing Lin Tao has to admit, that is, Shang Jingjing's business acumen is indeed much stronger than his own.This aspect is Lin Tao's weakness, and it won't be able to make up for it in a short while. It seems that he really needs to learn more from the beautiful young woman in the future.
Coming out of Sweet Potato Shop, Shang Jingjing still had some unfinished business. He didn't know whether he was very optimistic about the prospect of Sweet Potato Shop, or because he chatted enthusiastically with Ma Zhiqiang.
Of course, this enthusiasm refers to the enthusiasm for doing business, not the relationship between Shang Jingjing and Ma Zhiqiang. It would be too evil to think that way.
Before the two returned to Mingshan Community, they bought a lot of ingredients in the supermarket, enough for Shang Jingjing to stay out of the house for a week.In fact, that's what she planned too. Although she had successfully left Zhang An, there was no guarantee that Dai Kun and others would look for Junbei.
In fact, many things seem very meticulous, but in fact, even a little bit of subtlety cannot stand up to scrutiny.Just as Lin Tao could see through Shang Jingjing's original intention of concealing her original intention, Dai Kun and others might be able to see through her plan later on.
Before evening, the two got tired of it for a while before Lin Tao went out.
Instead of using the BMW in the garage, he walked to the entrance of the community, hailed a taxi, returned to the Sweet Potato Square, and retrieved his car. He also bought dinner for Guo Yiling.
She has been so busy recently that Lin Tao hasn't seen her face for several days.When the meal was delivered to the company, she was still presiding over the meeting. Before the end of the year, she not only had to pay for the last performance, but also had to recover the final payment.This is the habit of many companies. It is not auspicious to owe debts for one year, and not to owe debts during the New Year. Otherwise, it is equivalent to two years of debts.
Lin Tao waited in the office for more than half an hour before Guo Yiling finished the meeting.
"Why did you travel so far to deliver the porridge!" Guo Yiling felt sorry for him driving so far.
Lin Tao said: "It's for you, not for others. Of course, my daughter-in-law should care about it."
"Who is your wife!" Guo Yiling rolled her eyes at him, "I've been too busy recently and neglected you, won't you be angry with me?"
Lin Tao laughed and said, "It's a good thing that you are busy with your career. Why would I be angry? Don't think about it, and try to finish work as soon as possible."
Guo Yiling sighed and said, "I definitely can't go back today."
"I knew it would be like this!" Before Lin Tao came here, he went home and took two sets of clothes for a change of clothes. He was afraid that she would not go back tonight. Although he also brought a change of clothes before, it must not be enough. no need.
"You are still caring!" Guo Yiling kissed him happily.
"Hurry up and eat something!" Lin Tao put everything on the table and watched her eat.
"Why don't you eat?"
"One person will be full if you deal with it casually, it's better to see you eat!"
"Slick tongue..." Guo Yiling said while shaking her head.
"Whatever it is, as long as you eat well." Lin Tao chuckled.
Guo Yiling was really hungry, so she didn't talk much anymore and just ate stuffedly.
After she finished eating, Lin Tao brought water again. After chatting for a while, she said, "I'm going back to work, and they're still waiting for me!" Then he urged, "Go back and drive slowly, it's getting dark Be careful on slippery roads."
Lin Tao nodded and said, "Go and do it, I'm fine!"
Guo Yiling leaned over and kissed him, and said, "I will make it up to you when I finish my work!"
Lin Tao sat in the office by himself for a while, feeling nothing interesting, so he got up and left.
Back in the urban area, it was already past 9:[-] pm, Lin Tao took a casual bite at a roadside snack shop, and was about to go home and rest.
Although Guo Yiling couldn't accompany him during this time, and Shang Jingjing was in Junbei again, it didn't mean that Lin Tao could act recklessly. He decided to cultivate himself and take advantage of this rare opportunity to understand Baopu Guiyuan.
The more he practiced this internal skill, the more surprised Lin Tao was. Before, he only felt the scorching heat in his lower abdomen, but now his whole body is hot, and he can feel countless qi remaining in his body. Thanks to this is the practice method that Li Zhenyuan gave him. , otherwise you will definitely think that you are insane.
Lin Tao flipped through that ancient book whenever he had nothing to do, but except for the picture of Baopu Guiyuan that suits him best, he didn't feel much about it.
The old Taoist priest told him last time that there are actually four realms in Baopu Guiyuan, and Lin Tao is still in the very beginning of "holding".The so-called "hug" means "hug", and the object to be hugged is naturally Qi.Lin Tao is now able to perform normal luck exercises. Of course, the 36 small circles and 72 large circles in the novel are a bit high-end, and the old Taoist priests have never taught him. According to his own research, basically as long as he cultivates When the Qi accumulation reaches a certain level, it will automatically exit the cultivation state, and it will not hurt the body due to excessive Qi accumulation, which is quite smart.
The so-called "Pu" is the ability to transform Qi into a special energy, which can not only strengthen the body, but also nourish life.However, according to the explanation of the old Taoist, under normal circumstances, only when all the meridians of the whole body are flushed with qi, that is, the so-called opening up of the second meridian of Rendu and connecting the eight meridians of the extraordinary meridian, can the qi or inner strength be sublimated For that special energy.
As for the above two realms of "return" and "yuan", Lin Tao dared not even think about it, because the old Taoist said that now people's meridians all over the body are blocked, basically it is impossible to practice Taoism.If he can't even open the meridians of the whole body, then he can only stay in the state of "hugging" for the rest of his life.
However, the old Taoist was quite reassuring, and told him that even if he only stayed at the stage of "holding", as long as he practiced to the extreme, it would definitely be no problem to prolong his life, and he could even strengthen his body to the point where he was invulnerable. To Lin Tao , there is nothing left to ask for.
What's more, the old Taoist priest made a promise that as long as Lin Tao had a slight possibility of breaking through the meridians of his body, he would help him. This is the biggest motivation for Lin Tao to continue practicing.
But things backfired, Lin Tao's idea of going home to practice was shattered, and the person who called was a woman he didn't want to contact very much—Chu Xiang.
Since Xiao Jinhui talked about her relationship with Ivy last time, considering Chang Zhengwu's status, Lin Tao really didn't want to get into such a big trouble.The suppression of the Zhou family is nothing, but if the Chang family is such an enemy in Junbei, even with Zhang Chao's voice covering it, it will be a headache.
Loud music came from the earpiece, presumably she must be in a certain wine, and her voice was a bit vague, as if she had drunk too much.
Women who drink too much are the worst cheaters. Lin Tao has a deep understanding of this. From Feng Yingyao at the beginning to Sara later, he basically walks around women who drink too much now.
"Lin Tao, hurry up and pick me up!" Chu Xiang yelled on the phone.
Lin Tao's head suddenly became dizzy. This girl seemed to have drunk too much. Could it be that he is really asking for trouble?
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Seeing that he didn't respond, Chu Xiang couldn't help raising his voice.
"Listen!"
"Come and pick me up, I can't walk anymore!" Chu Xiang's voice became low again.
Lin Tao quickly asked, "Where are you?" He really didn't want to worry about it, but Chu Xiang did call him. If something happened to her again, he would definitely feel sorry for her.
"I'm...in the Han Hall..."
"Where is the Han Hall?"
Lin Tao is not very familiar with the entertainment venues in Junbei, and he seldom goes to drink.But after he finished asking, there was only blaring music on the phone, without Chu Xiang's voice.
Lin Tao realized that she might be too drunk, and immediately started the car, ready to find the "Han Hall".
But he really didn't know the location, so he could only call Xiao Jinhui to inquire.
"That's a high-end wine. You've already gone there to consume it?" Xiao Jinhui even joked, "If you want to sing, you can go to Jinhui Hotel for free. Why bother to consume it yourself."
Lin Tao said helplessly: "It's Chu Xiang. He called me just now. He must have drunk too much over there. Let me pick her up!"
Xiao Jinhui was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Brother, you have to be careful! I know you are righteous, but some things are prone to problems because you are too righteous. I have no objection to helping in the past, but you must remember One point, don't have anything to do with her!"
"I understand, I will never touch her!"
Xiao Jinhui emphasized again: "You must remember that drinking too much is scary for a woman, especially when you are in a bad mood. You must treat yourself as Liu Xiahui, and you must resist the temptation, otherwise..."
"Don't worry, I won't make trouble for myself!" Lin Tao thanked Xiao Jinhui for his concern.
Hearing what he said was firm, Xiao Jinhui didn't say anything else, and told him the address of Hantang.
In fact, it is the same street as Pulse Wine, but Lin Tao has never been there.
This time period is the best time for wine business, and it is difficult to find a parking space nearby. Lin Tao has no choice but to park the car on the side of the road and walk in.
Pulse wine occupies a good position, and the billboard is also large, which can attract people's attention the most.The location of the Korean hall is relatively inside, and the facade is not very big, but from the outside, the decoration is quite exquisite, it should be like Xiao Jinhui said, it is a high-end wine.
Push the door and go in, a dimly lit corridor with prints of world famous paintings hanging on the walls on both sides.Go to the end and turn left, there are many beads threaded together as a decorative curtain.
Open it and walk in, the area of the wine is not too big, it is more than 100 square meters together, there is a small dance floor in the middle, surrounded by more than a dozen tables, and there is a long table near the door, not too many people, just music very loud.
Lin Tao found Chu Xiang who was already drunk like mud on a table near the corner.Fortunately, the wine is relatively high-grade, and most of the people who come to drink are foreigners, and they are quite qualified. If you change to ordinary wine, let alone her belongings will be taken away, maybe everyone will be taken advantage of.
Lin Tao felt very helpless, sat on the chair, helped Chu Xiang up, and patted her pretty face lightly, trying to make her wake up.
"Ok?"
Chu Xiang opened his eyes and saw a figure in a daze. He grinned and said, "You're here!" After speaking, he put his hands around Lin Tao's neck and leaned against him.
Lin Tao did not expect that taking Shang Jingjing to the sweet potato shop would solve a big problem that he had been thinking about for a long time.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to open a branch, it's just that this branch is not easy to open, mainly because of Ma Zhiqiang's existence.With him around, the whole Sweet Potato Shop's business would be fine, but if another branch was to be opened, who would operate the roasted sweet potatoes was a big problem.
