The Pentium Era - South to North

Not long after Zhang Chen returned to the office, He Hongmei walked in. When she saw Zhang Chen, she shouted excitedly, "You're back, great!"

"Master, you are not here, and neither is Sister Xiaozhao. Do you know how pitiful I am?" He Hongmei said with a sad face.

"Can you still be pitiful? How can you be pitiful?"

"There was no place to eat dinner, so I went to my grandmother's house in Beibei and had a work meal at Sister Shuzhen's place."

"That's not very good. It's only been two days."

"Don't you ask me what I ate yesterday."

"What did you eat?"

"I went down to the cafeteria to get some food."

"This is not normal. I often go down there to get food."

"Can this be the same?"

"What's different is that I also cooked big pot dishes and didn't order stir-fries." Zhang Chen said.

"Go, the cafeteria master gives you a big spoonful and wants to add more, and he stops only when you say enough is enough?"

Zhang Chen thought about it, it was really like this.

"Let me go, how much do you know? It's just such a small amount of food. Boss, a big spoonful of your food is all exploited from us."

Zhang Chen looked at her and asked, "Do you want me to treat you to dinner? You talk so much?"

He Hongmei giggled: "Yingming, master is master after all."

"Okay, I originally wanted to have dinner with Meng Ping and the others, but he left. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll treat you to it."

"Really? Can I eat lamb chops?"

"Yes, but you have to ask Old Tang to eat the mutton chops. Only with him can you increase your appetite." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll hit him."

He Hongmei shouted, and then she beat Old Tang's eldest brother. After the beating, she told Zhang Chen that it was over, and Old Tang went to Ningbo.

"Why is he going to Ningbo?"

"Classmates' wedding."

"Okay, let's go, I'm hungry too." Zhang Chen stood up as he said that.

The two of them were eating mutton chops. Zhang Chen originally wanted to tell He Hongmei about going to Harada Shino's place in the afternoon, but after thinking about it, he didn't. He thought to himself, it would be better to wait until the movie comes out or when he wins an award, so as not to know. The movie was not introduced, so I couldn’t see my name appear on the screen, so my anticipation was in vain.

Zhang Chen didn't say anything.

While the two were eating, they heard a person shouting: "Okay, I caught it, let's have a couple's meal here!"

Looking back, he saw Liu Ligan walking over with Wenwen and Qianqian. He Hongmei blushed. Zhang Chen picked up a sheep bone and smashed it over, cursing: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Liu Ligan came over, sat down on the edge, and smiled: "Why are you nervous? I said the meal was a couple's meal, and I didn't say you were a couple."

He Hongmei's face turned redder, she picked up a bunch of lamb kidneys, slapped Liu Ligan on the mouth, and cursed: "Take it, shut up!"

Liu Li bit the stick in one bite, took the steel pick in his hand, and shouted: "Thank you, thank you, you are so considerate, and you even put it in your mouth."

Wenwen and Qianqian also chose seats and sat down on the edge, giggling.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Chen asked.

"After sending Meng Ping and the others away, I returned to the company. These two men said they wanted to eat mutton chops, so they came over." Liu Ligan said.

"What day is it today? Do you women have a grudge against sheep?" Zhang Chen asked Wenwen and Qianqian, "She also said she wanted to eat lamb chops."

"Well, it seems that today is an unlucky day for sheep. If sheep could read the calendar, they would not dare to go out today." Liu Ligan said, and the three women laughed.

He Hongmei and Liu Ligan said: "Hey, I was originally going to give my master a beating, but you came here, just in time, this meal..."

"I know, I know, it's included in the hundred meals." Liu Li finished eating the lamb kidneys and said, "Come on, give me another bunch."

He Hongmei gave him another bunch. Liu Li took it and asked He Hongmei: "Is it true that you haven't finished the hundred meals yet? Why do I feel like I've overeaten?"

"Cheapskate, there are still twenty-seven meals."

"real?"

"real."

Liu Ligan said to Wenwen and Qianqian, you two, keep track of the accounts for me. After today's meal, there are still twenty-six. Don't let your men be cheated by other women outside.

"Get out!" Wenwen Qianqian cursed together, and He Hongmei laughed.

After eating the mutton chops, Wenwen asked to go see a movie, and Liu Ligan asked, what was good about the movie.

"Then what did you say you were going to do?" Wenwen asked.

"Go to the bar." He Hongmei said.

"Go away, I just finished drinking. I went to some bar. I'm full. Let's go exercise." Liu Ligan said.

"Then go bowling."

He Hongmei proposed. This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone. They got up and went to the bowling alley. At that time, bowling alleys had just entered Hangzhou. They were all invested by Taiwanese and the business was very good. They went to the ones on Jinjiang Road and Qiutao Road. Both bowling alleys have no lanes, so even if you wait, you don’t know how long it will take.

The five people left angrily. Zhang Chen said, if that doesn't work, go upstairs to play table tennis with us. He Hongmei shouted, "By the way, there is a bowling alley in the Provincial Gymnasium, let's go there and have a look."

Zhang Chenqi asked: "There is a bowling alley in the Provincial Gymnasium? It's right next door to me and I didn't even know it?"

He Hongmei said yes. It was just built not long ago, but the scale is smaller.

"Let's go, listen to the Sichuan girl. If not, the twenty-six meals will be invalid." Liu Ligan shouted.

"If so, double it?" He Hongmei asked.

Liu Ligan was stunned for a moment, then he said yes.

The group of people arrived at the Provincial Gymnasium, and it turned out that there was actually a bowling alley here. As He Hongmei said, it was newly built and not large in scale. It only had four lanes. What made them excited was that when they arrived, one lane was still empty. .

He Hongmei looked at Liu Ligan, smiled and nodded, and Liu Ligan scolded: "Why are you so proud? I owe you fifty-two meals."

Liu Ligan sighed: "I can't help it. As soon as I meet this Sichuan girl, I will abandon my armor."

He Hongmei smiled proudly, Wenwen looked at him and said, "Did you lose on purpose?"

In the bowling alley, there are three other lanes, one is played by a pair of lovers who speak softly, and the other is played by two men who are not convinced by each other and don't talk much. They just throw the ball round after round. The man who made a good shot also turned around before clenching his fist and pumping it in front of his chest to cheer himself up.

There was another one, obviously they were business guests. The four of them were playing and chatting about something. They were playing and playing in no particular order. When someone remembered, they went to throw a ball. The ball was still rolling on the fairway. , but the person has returned to the conversation and does not mind the outcome at all. It seems that playing bowling is secondary and chatting is the most important.

There were only Liu Lipole and Zhang Chen on this fairway. Three women plus one Liu Lipole. They all had loud voices, shouted and were very noisy. They soon became the center of the stadium, and everyone else Keep looking in their direction.

Fortunately, their fairway is the one closest to the stadium. Next to them are the two men. Their noisy atmosphere just relieves the tense atmosphere between the two of them. They all breathed a sigh of relief.

Next is the pair of lovers. They are immersed in their own world, and it is difficult for the outside world to disturb them. On the contrary, the noise here has become a topic for them to joke and tease, and it has become the background of their world. .

And the four people who were most concerned about their noise were on the fairway closest to the outside, so their impact should not be that big.

Out of the corner of Zhang Chen's eye, he saw a person wearing a staff uniform walking over. Zhang Chen thought she was coming to stop them and ask them to speak softer. Unexpectedly, the person walked about ten meters away from them and stopped. Instead of continuing to walk over, he stood there and looked at them.

Zhang Chen was surprised, looked up at her, was stunned for a moment, and shouted:

"Zhong Yaqiong?!"

Standing there was Zhong Yaqiong, the cashier of "Xincheng Decoration Co., Ltd." who used to be under the Municipal Planning Bureau. Zhong Yaqiong was very happy to see Zhang Chen recognize her. She walked over and said:

"Zhang Chen, I look a lot like you, but I'm afraid you won't recognize me and will be embarrassed to come over."

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "What's so embarrassing about this? It's normal to admit the wrong person."

Liu Ligan and He Hongmei stopped and looked at them. After hearing what Zhang Chen said, they knew that Zhang Chen had met an old acquaintance, so he ignored them and continued to play with himself.

Originally, after Wenwen, it was Zhang Chen, and then it was Liu Ligan's turn. After Wenwen finished casting, He Hongmei looked at Zhang Chen, chuckled, and whispered to Liu Ligan, "Come on, come on, jump him." In the past, Liu Ligan was overjoyed.

Zhong Yaqiong and Zhang Chen said: "I won't mistake you because I'm afraid you don't know me. You are a big shot now. I have seen you in the newspaper several times. By the way, you are in the 'Dynamic Zone' next door and in Yan'an." The 'half acre' of land on the road belongs to you, right?"

Zhang Chen nodded.

"That's great. You may not know that I applied for a job at your 'Dynamic Zone' but was not accepted," Zhong Yaqiong said.

"Then why don't you just come to me?"

"I'm sorry. After all, we have only been colleagues for such a short time, and several years have passed. It would be so embarrassing if you didn't recognize me."

"How is that possible?" Zhang Chen said, "In that company, you were the only person who helped me. How could I forget?"

Zhong Yaqiong nodded and said with a smile: "You even remembered my name just now. I'm very happy, really."

"You come."

Zhong Yaqiong turned around and told Zhang Chen, but Zhang Chen didn't respond.

There, Liu Lipole's ball just rolled into the ditch next to the fairway. Liu Lipole yelled, saying that when he was about to throw the ball, Wenwen kicked his butt. No matter what, he was asking for another shot. Once he voted, He Hongmei, Wenwen, and Qianqian shouted in opposition, and their voices were so loud that Zhang Chen didn't hear what Zhong Yaqiong was saying clearly.

The two people naturally moved a few steps to the side, leaving the group of noisy people.

"Your friends are so interesting." Zhong Yaqiong smiled.

"Will it be noisy?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It doesn't matter." Zhong Yaqiong said, "There are all kinds of people here. Besides, bowling is a non-brainer. What does it matter if it's noisy?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "That's good."

"Come here, I'll take you to meet someone." Zhong Yaqiong said it again, and Zhang Chen heard it clearly this time.

Zhang Chen turned around and called to Liu Ligan: "Gangzi, let me go over there."

Liu Ligan waved his hand: "Go, go, there are too many people, and it took a long time for our turn."

Zhang Chen was too lazy to argue with him and followed Zhong Yaqiong to an office behind the service desk. Zhang Chen walked in and saw a recliner inside. A person was lying on the recliner with a blanket covering his body. In order to shield his face from the light, he also covered his face with a blanket. holding a newspaper.

Zhong Yaqiong walked up to the man and called softly: "Boss."

The man moved his body, raised his hand, and took the newspaper off his face. His eyes widened when he saw Zhang Chen standing there.

He and Zhang Chen were both stunned for a moment, and Zhang Chen shouted: "Boss Liu!"

The man who sat up from the recliner also shouted: "Little brother!"

It turned out that this man was Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
