Chapter 485: Meeting an Old Friend at a Small Restaurant
In front of the Northeastern Restaurant
Jin Canlan waited for about five minutes, and Lin Chen appeared on a bicycle.
She hurried forward and waved to Lin Chen: "Director Lin, this way!"
"I'm sorry I'm late. I just ran into an acquaintance on the road and chatted with him for a while."
Now Jin Canlan looked at Lin Chen, whose straight posture and handsome features... and couldn't help but sigh that Lin Chen's wife was so lucky.
"I just got here too. Director Lin, if someone doesn't know you, they would think you are from the army. You are too... Forget it, let's order first. I have already reserved a table. I will treat you and you can order the food."
The two had only known each other for a few days and were not very familiar with each other. Jin Canlan did not dare to joke with her boss. She took back her words halfway through...
Lin Chen just saw Jin Canlan at Guanhu Garden, changing and dressing up after get off work.
It's just that her clothes are all formal clothes, unlike the colorful dresses of others that are very feminine...
After Lin Chen parked his bike, he said, "Just keep it simple. There's no need to waste money just for the two of us."
The two walked into the restaurant, but there were no private rooms.
There was just a lobby, and Jin Canlan took Lin Chen to the seat they had reserved.
"Comrade, order food!"
The waiter came over with a teapot...
Lin Chen thought that since there is no cooperation yet, he would try ordering dishes next year. You have to queue up at the counter. The working people cannot be ordered around at will.
After the joint venture, waiters and salespeople will be one of the eight major members, and their attitudes will be very tough!
Lin Chen ordered a pot-fried pork, a chicken stewed with mushrooms, rice noodles, and black and white cabbage. Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes...
Jin Canlan thought that it was fortunate that you were just eating simply. If you were extravagant, you would have to order eight hard dishes. You can't believe what the director said about simply eating!
I don’t know if my transfer fee will last until next month’s salary payment...
"Director Lin, what do you drink?"
Jin Canlan regretted asking, if he didn't choose, then forget it! Why bother asking...
Lin Chen shook his head: "Your body is not suitable for drinking, and there is no point in me drinking alone. So I won't drink today. When I find a way to cure your hidden disease, we will celebrate and drink..."
Jin Canlan thought that doctors are meticulous by nature.
The last time when Lin Chen went shopping in Wangfujing, he glanced at Jin Canlan’s belongings.
I didn't want her to spend any money, but today she insisted on treating us.
Just when Jin Canlan wanted to be polite again, the appearance of a person interrupted what she was about to say.
"Comrade Jin Canlan, it really is you!"
After Lin Chen handed the menu to the waiter, he recognized the person at a glance - Feng Shigao.
Why is this guy in the city? Shouldn't he be studying in the north?
Jin Canlan hasn't realized who the other person is yet...
How come I don't remember the boy in front of me at all?
Jin Canlan frowned slightly: "Comrade, who are you?"
Feng Shigao was embarrassed. The other party didn't remember him. It had only been a year...
"Comrade Jin, don't you remember that I was the one who presented you with flowers at the Hero Commendation Ceremony? I am the student representative Feng Shigao!"
Feng Shigao was only focused on looking at Jin Canlan at first, and only now did he notice Lin Chen sitting next to him.
I thought I was handsome enough and a good young man...but I never expected that there was such a good man by Jin Canlan's side.
When Jin Canlan was reminded by the other party, she remembered what happened at the commendation meeting.
"Oh! I remember now, you were also in Sijiu City!"
Lin Chen thought that his mother was Professor Qi, an obstetrician and gynecologist at the Union Hospital in Sijiu City... and his uncle was a high-ranking official, so it was not surprising that he was in Sijiu City.
He is just a little young now, but he will be a talented person in political work in a few years...
When Feng Shigao met Jin Canlan, he was so excited that he seemed to have endless things to say.
"When I gave you flowers last year, I had already been studying in Moscow for a year. I came back to visit my family during the holidays. Now I have officially graduated. My mother works at the Sijiucheng Hospital, so our home is here."
Lin Chen saw that this guy was getting more and more excited, and he wanted to sit down and have a long chat. So he coughed lightly...
"Chief Jin, since this person is an old friend, why don't we sit down together?"
Jin Canlan smiled awkwardly, the ghost was his old friend.
We just met once a year ago, and who knew he would be so sociable.
Feng Shigao then realized that his classmates were at another table, so he started to be polite.
"Sorry, comrade. I was too excited just now. I have classmates over there, so I won't disturb you. Comrade Jin, you are the section chief now! Which factory do you work in?"
Jin Canlan didn't think much about it and just said it casually in order to get rid of the other party as soon as possible.
"Security Department of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."
Lin Chen thought, now it's going to be fun, Jin Canlan will go to Jiangnan Locomotive Factory to be the security chief... It was this guy who asked his uncle to help transfer him there.
It seems like this time it’s like - if the mountain doesn’t come to me, I will go to it. He will definitely use his connections to stay in Beijing.
Feng Shigao silently remembered the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill...
……
After this guy left, Lin Chen just laughed.
Jin Canlan didn't know what was going on when she suddenly met someone who was very familiar with her.
"Director Lin, what are you laughing at?"
Lin Chen suppressed his laughter and lowered his voice: "Come closer, I'll tell you what you're laughing at."
Lin Chen deliberately let Jin Canlan get closer to him because Feng Shigao was still observing this side. Lin Chen wanted to piss this kid off...
Jin Canlan was also curious, so she moved closer to Lin Chen...their heads were touching, less than ten centimeters apart.
"He's not your friend, is he?"
Jin Canlan shook her head: "No, what's wrong?"
"Don't you think it's funny? His mother is a doctor in a big hospital, but he named it "Rheumatism Ointment"..."
After Lin Chen explained, Jin Canlan paused for a moment and then burst into laughter...
"You...you're so funny. You're also a doctor. Only you would understand it this way!"
Jin Canlan was so amused by Lin Chen that she covered her mouth and laughed secretly, afraid that she would laugh out loud.
The intimate and laughing scene of the two was seen by Feng Shigao, who had a crush on Jin Canlan...
"How ridiculous! The woman I've been thinking about day and night for a year is actually talking and laughing with someone else. Now she doesn't even remember me... Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, right? I'm not going to Jiangnan Locomotive Factory anymore..."
"Feng, is he your friend?" a Russian asked.
"No, they are just former neighbors. Don't worry about them..."
……
Lin Chen was chatting and laughing during the meal, but Feng Shigao was very angry.
In the end, he paid the bill and left without coming over to say hello...
Jin Canlan didn't take it to heart. After all, she really didn't remember it.
7:30 p.m.
After Lin Chen asked the waiter to pack up the sweet and sour pork, the two left the restaurant.
"Here! Save this for tomorrow. I'll treat you to something else next time..."
Jin Canlan just noticed that Lin Chen didn't take any of this dish, and she complained in her heart why he ordered it if he didn't want to eat it. After all, he packed it for himself...
"Director Lin, where do you live?"
"I'll take you to Nanluoguxiang first..."
Jin Canlan wanted to say that I, a female soldier, was not afraid of the night road, but she swallowed the words back. It seems like it would be nice to send it off...
All women want to feel relied upon and cared for, and Jin Canlan is no exception.
