Let's get back to the point. After riding out of the factory, Cao Shuang headed straight for the state-owned restaurant Yan Bugui had mentioned:
Since he has promised others that he will keep the appointment, he will certainly not break his promise.
However, even though Cao Shuang thought he was fast enough, he was actually the last one to enter the hotel.
As soon as he entered the door, Cao Shuang found Ran Qiuye's location.
Today she wore a white dress and tied her hair into a high ponytail with a red hairband, revealing her white collarbone.
"Teacher Ran, I'm sorry I'm late."
Although it had not yet passed the agreed time, since the woman had already arrived, Cao Shuang of course apologized straightforwardly.
"Sun...Cao Shuang, why are you here?"
As soon as Cao Shuang finished speaking, Sha Zhu, who was wearing a western suit and touching his greasy hair, could not help but be stunned.
"Comrade Cao Shuang is my best guest today."
Hearing Sha Zhu's bad tone, Ran Qiuye couldn't help but frowned slightly:
If she hadn't wanted Teacher Yan to help her invite Cao Shuang out, she would never have had dinner with such an impolite person like Sha Zhu.
"what?"
With a cry of surprise, Sha Zhu felt that his good mood for the whole day was ruined at this moment.
Pointing at Cao Shuang, Sha Zhu's eyes suddenly widened:
"Is this boy the one you are waiting for?"
Sha Zhu had no choice but to do this, because what happened made him so angry.
You know, he took a special leave for this date and started dressing himself up from early in the morning.
I originally thought that after arriving at the place, I would be able to chat with Ran Qiuye about everything, and then run to get the marriage certificate because our souls were in harmony. However, she said that some friends had not arrived yet.
If he was really Ran Qiuye's friend, Sha Zhu would of course be happy to show his gentlemanly demeanor, but the person in front of him was Cao Shuang!
"Silly... Comrade He Yuzhu, Cao Shuang is the guest I specially invited here. Please be more respectful to him."
Looking at Sha Zhu, Ran Qiuye's expression was serious:
"Of course, if you can't do it, you can leave first!"
"I……"
Seeing Ran Qiuye getting angry, Sha Zhu immediately backed down:
This was the closest he had ever been to marrying a city girl, so how could he give up halfway?
Showing a big smile to Ran Qiuye, Sha Zhu spoke:
"Teacher Ran, don't get me wrong. I was just joking with Cao Shuang."
'snort! ’
Hearing Sha Zhu's words, Ran Qiuye snorted, then turned his gaze to Cao Shuang:
"Comrade Cao Shuang, you don't need to apologize. I just came a little early."
After finishing his words, Ran Qiuye pointed at the fat girl with glasses sitting next to him:
"This is Gao Yuanyuan, my colleague."
"Hello, Mr. Gao. My name is Cao Shuang, and I'm a cook at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."
After hearing Ran Qiuye's introduction, Cao Shuang smiled broadly at Gao Yuanyuan:
Gao Yuanyuan is slightly shorter than Ran Qiuye, but her weight is estimated to be at least twice that of Ran Qiuye.
To have such a figure in this era, it is obvious that this girl must come from a special family.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Cao Shuang.
His behavior was just a courtesy when they met for the first time.
"Hello, Comrade Cao Shuang."
Hearing Cao Shuang's words, Gao Yuanyuan also smiled:
"You're so handsome, no wonder Ye Zi mentioned you so often recently... Woo~"
Gao Yuanyuan is obviously a cheerful person. She started joking with Cao Shuang as soon as they met.
Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, Ran Qiuye covered her mouth.
"Comrade Cao Shuang, don't listen to her nonsense."
While speaking, Ran Qiuye glared at Gao Yuanyuan, his face reddening to the roots of his neck:
If I had known that this girl would talk nonsense, I shouldn't have brought her along.
"Teacher Ran, just call me Cao Shuang."
"Then you can call me Qiuye too."
"Um...can we start eating now?"
Seeing Cao Shuang and Ran Qiuye started chatting after just a few words, Sha Zhu, who had been sitting on the stool like a wooden man for most of the day, couldn't help but interrupt:
He has not had a drop of water since he left home at noon.
"I……"
Glancing at Sha Zhu, Ran Qiuye couldn't help but frowned:
How come this person has no sense at all?
"I'm hungry too, let's start ordering."
Just when Ran Qiuye was about to speak, Gao Yuanyuan on the side took the initiative to take over the conversation.
Hearing Gao Yuanyuan's words, Ran Qiuye could only suppress the anger in his heart:
"Comrade Cao Shuang, what would you like to eat?"
"Let's have the sauerkraut noodles, how about you guys?"
"I also……"
"One serving of braised pork, one serving of smashed cucumber, one dish of shredded potatoes, and three bowls of rice."
After quickly naming three dishes, Sha Zhu cast a disdainful look at Cao Shuang:
"Since you are inviting female comrades to dinner, you should be a little more generous."
After he finished speaking, Sha Zhu gave Ran Qiuye a flattering smile.
"Today's meal is for Cao Shuang, and I'm the one treating him."
Chapter 127 Zhu Bajie and his second aunt
Obviously, Sha Zhu's goodwill did not win Ran Qiuye's favor.
Not only that, when speaking, there was even a hint of resentment in Ran Qiuye's tone:
Cao Shuang was someone she had finally managed to date. If Sha Zhu's behavior made him think she was a superficial woman...
"It's okay, these are what I like to eat."
While Sha Zhu was in a dilemma, Gao Yuanyuan, who was standing by, spoke up again to help:
"If Comrade He Yuzhu doesn't order it, I will order it myself."
After finishing her speech, Gao Yuanyuan added:
"This is our first meeting today, so please let me pay for the meal. If you feel bad about it, you can treat me next time."
Gao Yuanyuan smiled widely while speaking, and it was obvious that she was not being polite.
There weren't many people in the restaurant at this time, and the meal was quickly prepared after Cao Shuang and others placed their orders.
Sitting down with the food in hand, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help swallowing her saliva as she smelled the aroma that wafted into her nostrils:
"Everyone, hurry up and make some. It would be bad if such a delicious dish gets cold."
As soon as the words were spoken, Gao Yuanyuan was the first to take action without waiting for anyone else to speak.
His eyes drifted from Gao Yuanyuan, and Cao Shuang suddenly understood why Ran Qiuye brought her out:
With this girl's personality, she can indeed quickly break the awkwardness when both parties are strangers.
Since we are having a meal, we must chat.
His eyes drifted from Ran Qiuye, and Sha Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up:
“Although these dishes are good, if you taste them carefully, you will find that they are still a little lacking.”
Tapping the plate with chopsticks, Sha Zhu showed a smug look on his face:
"If Teacher Ran wants to try better food, you can come to my house some time."
"Cao Shuang, I heard that besides cooking, you also know medicine?"
Ignoring Sha Zhu's words, Ran Qiuye turned his attention to Cao Shuang:
Whether in terms of appearance or personality, Sha Zhu is obviously not her type. In comparison, the handsome and introverted Cao Shuang is more attractive to Ran Qiuye.
“Just a little bit.”
With a smile on his face, Cao Shuang calmly replied:
"If we compare our real abilities, there is still a certain gap between me and the doctors in the hospital."
With intermediate-level Chinese medicine skills, Cao Shuang's medical skills can be ranked among the best in the entire city.
But after all, it was just a chat, and Cao Shuang had no intention of expressing his thoughts.
"Just some little massage trick to reduce swelling."
Hearing Cao Shuang's words, Sha Zhu beside him interrupted directly:
"As long as I study for two days, I will definitely be able to learn it."
