Compared with Chinese food, Western food tastes more personal.

When everyone's steaks were served, hot oil was sizzling on the iron plate.

As the waiter pours sauce on the surface of the steak, the rich aroma of meat and sauce are entangled together, teasing and tempting everyone's sense of smell and taste buds.

When Xu Xing was a child, he liked to eat steak, especially the comfort of swallowing a whole piece of meat, which would bring a great sense of satisfaction.

Moreover, the price of domestic beef is often much more expensive than that of pork. You can only see it at some more important dinner parties. Occasionally, the family will eat dishes such as green pepper beef or potato stewed beef brisket, but most of the time it is still pork.

Lord.

So during holidays, Xu Xing would look forward to his parents taking him out to eat steak.

But now that I think about it, Xu Niannian often took his pocket money to secretly take him out for big dinners, including steaks, to keep his little brother full.

"Let me cut it for you." Xu Xing thought of this and took the initiative to exchange a plate of steak with Xu Niannian. He picked up the knife and fork and helped her cut the steak into small pieces while saying, "Birthday boy, rest and wait.

Just wait."

Seeing him cutting meat carefully, Xu Niannian's eyes were a little more touched, but he still hummed twice and rested his chin with his palm to watch the show without any politeness: "Not bad, not bad, it's a bit too much for my sister."

Birthday attitude.”

Opposite me, Yu Youjia saw the excitement on her face that she was trying to suppress, and couldn't help but roll her eyes. Not wanting to expose her best friend's proud face, she lowered her head and started eating alone.

Yan Chijing on the side is quite envious. Thinking about the two months since they have been dating, it seems that he has not gone out for a serious date with Xu Xing, and he has not had many opportunities to ask Xu Xing to help him cut it like he does now.

steak.

At most, we can take advantage of the time when we go back to school to have a meal in the cafeteria at noon or evening, and feed each other.

It’s also weird to say.

The two of them really didn't go on many dates because they were too busy at work. Most of the time, even if they did have time to go out, it was basically a threesome with Xu Niannian.

Qunxing Company has just started, and after Xu Xing's stall is launched, all aspects need to be controlled. It is good to be able to squeeze out time to talk about love with Yan Chijuan.

Yan Chiju himself wasn't much better.

Xu Xing has finally figured it out during this time. Although Yan Chijuan has not yet transformed into a strong woman's style of work like in her previous life, she can indeed see some shadows when working.

Arranged work is never delayed. After planning the development process and estimated progress, as long as the people under her control complete it on time, she will not be soft-hearted if it cannot be completed.

His stern and indifferent look, even if paired with his petite body, can make his colleagues shudder.

No matter what, this person is also a member of the founding team of Qunxing Company.

Many colleagues were still scared when they saw Yan Chijie's sullen expression.

On the contrary, Xu Niannian, who seems not to be trivial, is more approachable when working.

"I'm cutting the steak for you, are you just eating it there?"

Xu Xing was cutting Xu Niannian's steak in his hands. He saw Xu Niannian pick up the straw from which he drank his drink, secretly insert it into the fried egg yolk on Xu Xing's plate of steak, and enjoy a few mouthfuls of the warm egg inside.

liquid.

At this time, Xu Xing caught him in action. Xu Niannian felt proud instead of being ashamed. He puffed up his chest proudly and took a few more puffs: "Sister, it's your honor to eat your balls, okay?

The egg has been blessed by the birthday girl and is very precious."

"Then I really thank you." The corners of Xu Xing's mouth twitched twice, his eyes glanced at the straw through which he drank, and he stretched it over there.

In the end, Xu Niannian had quick eyesight and quick hands. He immediately inserted the straw into the egg next to his steak and took several sips.

Xu Xing: "... I might as well give everyone's eggs to you, the birthday girl. You are 22 years old this year, so you can eat 22 eggs."

"Twenty-two is too exaggerated, eating two is just right." Yu Youjia, who was opposite, joked with a smile.

As a result, Xu Niannian didn't know what was going through his head. His cheeks turned red and he stopped talking. He slapped Xu Xing on the shoulder and urged: "Hurry up and cut it. It won't taste good when it gets cold."

Under the table, Xu Niannian kicked Yu Youjia across from him with a slight blush, and secretly spat.

Yu Youjia curled her lips and kicked her back, thinking that girls who are not in love are sensitive and would blush at such things.

"Here, eat, eat, give me my eggs." Xu Xing helped her cut the steak into pieces, and then exchanged the iron plates back.

As a result, Xu Niannian slapped him on the thigh angrily: "Speak nicely."

Xu Xing: "...?"

This birthday boy is really inexplicable.

With a snap, Xu Xing slapped Xu Niannian's thigh, which was wearing tight jeans, back.

…

After lunch, the four girls started shopping hand in hand, with Xu Xing alone behind.

If the girl in front hadn't been talking to Xu Xing from time to time, passers-by might have thought that this guy was a pervert stalking beautiful girls.

As time goes by, the clouds above my head gradually become thicker, like wine that is getting better and better. Before I open it, I can already smell the rain.

I didn't bring an umbrella with me when I went out. When I passed by a convenience store, Xu Xing bought three umbrellas as backup, just in case.

As a result, before I had even taken two steps, light rain began to fall over Xintiandi's commercial street, gradually soaking the street and coating it with a moist and flowing crust.

The four girls walking in front were about to run to the side of the store in panic to hide from the rain, but two umbrellas were already held up behind them, blocking the sky above their heads.

Xu Niannian turned around and saw that Xu Xing was holding two umbrellas with both hands, and there was an unopened one in the creaking nest.

"Take it." Xu Xing handed the umbrella to Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan's hands, and then opened his remaining umbrella, "It won't delay your birthday if it rains."

"Hey, that's so considerate." Xu Niannian took the umbrella with satisfaction and shared one with Yu Youjia next to him. He did not forget to complain, "You bought three umbrellas at once. If your mother knew

I'm afraid I'll have to nag you and waste money."

"It doesn't matter. You can leave the extra umbrellas at the company. If an employee needs it urgently, just take it." Xu Xing shrugged and said indifferently.

As for Sun Wanhui?

At the beginning, he promised his mother that after receiving 50,000 yuan in dividends from her online store, he would have to share what he had done with the money next year.

I just hope that Sun Wanhui can nag him more about buying three umbrellas and not be so shocked that she loses her voice.

Hmm... Speaking of which, I haven't paid attention to my family business for a while.

I don’t know what is going on with Sun Wanhui’s clothing company with the help of Pei Qinglan’s investment.

Xu Xing is not too worried that Sun Wanhui will go bankrupt or something.

After all, it is an e-commerce company directly connected to the factory, so the cost can be kept very low, and there will not be much problem with competitiveness.

What Xu Xing is more worried about is that Sun Wanhui's e-commerce expansion, with the help of Pei Qinglan, has been too rapid, resulting in the production capacity of only one foundry being broken down by a large number of orders in a short period of time.

Fortunately, this year's Double Eleven has passed, so the problem should not be big.

With Xu Jian's cautious character, even if he received an investment of 5 million from Pei Qinglan, it would definitely lead to Sun Wanhui's radical steps.

After all, the foundry's current production business with Sun Wanhui's e-commerce company is in Xu Jian's hands, and he will definitely not rush into it.

As for the future.

With WeChat as a big killer, as long as it can break out of the encirclement of QQ, e-commerce will only be a minor problem.

Xu Xing continued to follow several girls while holding an umbrella. Thinking about these things, Xu Xing was pulled into a men's clothing store by Xu Niannian.

"Come on, sister will buy you new clothes."

"It's not my birthday, what clothes did you buy me?"

"I have the final say on my birthday. Just shut up and be a clothes hanger."

For Xu Niannian, buying new clothes for herself is certainly a happy thing, but buying new clothes for her brother is even more enjoyable.

Watching Xu Xing put on the clothes she bought herself, it was like putting her beloved treasure in its own packaging and putting her personal stamp on it.

This sense of satisfaction is far stronger than buying clothes for yourself.

"Don't you think Nian Nian is too close to her brother?" Yao Yuanyuan stood aside and quietly asked Yan Chi Ji, "Is this how you usually do in a shared house?"

"Are you okay?" Yan Chijie blinked, not feeling anything wrong. After all, the things she and Xu Xing secretly did in the rented house were much more exciting than what Xu Niannian is doing now, "They are siblings.

"

"If it weren't for siblings, I think you'd be out of the game." Yao Yuanyuan pouted, "I've seen siblings have a good relationship, but I've rarely seen them have such a close relationship."

"Hehe." Yan Chijiu giggled twice, but he wasn't worried about anything.

After all, Yao Yuanyuan didn't know the situation, but she had already been with Xu Xing long ago~

And it was Xu Xing who took the initiative to confess.

Although at that time, Yan Chi Jiu could not help but want to give it to him for free, but fortunately Xu Xing was the first to resist and allowed her to retain a little bit of her right to choose.

As for now, Yan Chijuan is very satisfied.

Compared with the divorce of his parents, when he followed his mother into a new family, he had to escape by himself midway through. He lived alone in an Internet cafe for two years in high school, barely maintaining his studies.

Now she has successfully been admitted to Min University, a famous university in the country, and has a high-quality job of her own. She can support herself well with her salary.

She even has her own lover, who is countless times better than herself, but is willing to be with her.

So what else is there to ask for?
