Mr. Pan observed Gao Xu from time to time, as if he had something to say, but it was difficult to express it in words. At one point, his expression hinted of giving up.

But he finally spoke: "Mr. Liu's mentality is very peaceful, not like an arrogant person. But I always have a feeling that you seem to be used to controlling, just like a god who can give and take......" He took a breath and frowned in thought, "Before making "Searching for Dreams", Mr. Liu should be very short of funds, right? ”

Gao Xu listened and felt a little unhappy. Maybe it's not because Mr. Pan's words are not good, but because Gao Xu is not used to getting too much attention, especially by people who are not familiar with him.

Although Mr. Pan's expression was messy, Gao Xu still captured the meaning, which probably has two meanings.

First, arrogant people often do not match their strength and mentality, and they have an arrogant mentality and can project the corresponding words and deeds; It's like stupid people who often think they're smart. Second, Gao Xu's mentality is actually not arrogant, but he does not have absolute strength, so Pan always thinks it is contradictory.

This Mr. Pan seems to be a little self-righteous, and of course Gao Xu is uncomfortable in his heart. However, he didn't care much, and only said: "Mr. Pan may have some misunderstandings, in essence, I have always been an ordinary person." ”

As Gao Xu has said many times, it is not particularly necessary, and he basically does not lie, so he added a "essence" to the words just now. Can Pan always understand, that's his business.

Mr. Pan's voice said: "There are not many people who can be regarded as my real friends, and I hope to have frequent contact with Mr. Liu." ”

Gao Xu smiled, "It's a great honor. Mr. Pan's high opinion has benefited me a lot. ”

"Where, where." Pan always smiled triumphantly.

Seeing this, Gao Xu immediately moved the topic away from himself, "Just now we talked about the instability in Western America, how about Egypt?" ”

After coming back to his senses a little, Gao Xu didn't care about the emotion just now. Without any evidence, with a little ethereal abstraction, it is impossible for others to snoop on their secrets.

Mr. Pan said eloquently: "Since the disintegration of the Ottoman State, the relationship there has become more chaotic, and the Ming Dynasty, Russia, Turkey, and European countries all have interests in North Africa and the Arab region, among which Russia and Turkey have the longest contradiction, mainly for the Black Sea access. The internal disputes in the region have the shadow of many countries, and the forces without foreign aid will be extinguished very quickly. Egypt alone seems to be in chaos. ”

Gao Xu also watched the news, but the information he got in a short period of time was obviously not comprehensive, so he made a gesture of listening.

Seeing this, Mr. Pan said with great interest: "There is a garrison in the Ming Dynasty, called the International Peace Alliance Army, and the main force is actually the Ming Army. Except for the Ming Kingdom, there are not many forces that can touch Egypt, and the local government is ......."

After a while, a strange woman came over and talked to Mr. Pan. Gao Xu nodded to the woman and took the opportunity to return to the chair at the table.

Miaojin said casually: "When men are together, they talk about either war or politics. ”

Gao Xu smiled: "There are also women." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Deng next to him, who was shaking the juice without saying a word. Gao Xu said: "One day our partnership will be dissolved, but not now, you don't have to rush. ”

Xiao Deng hurriedly raised his head, shook his head nervously and said, "Mr. Liu, please rest assured, I will never be poached by other companies." It was Mr. Liu who made me, I am very grateful in my heart, how can I be ungrateful? Gao Xu sounded a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was going on for a while. He turned his head to look at Miaojin, and Miaojin's expression seemed to feel the same way.

Gao Xu didn't say anything more, he got up and said, "It's almost tonight, let's go here?" Then he said hello to Mr. Pan again, and left with Miaojin, and Xiao Deng also followed. The live music behind him was still playing, and the sound of people talking in high interest was in the air, and the drinking party was not over yet, but Gao Xu and the others were probably done.

It was already very late, and Xiao Deng booked a room for everyone in the theater hotel before, and several people decided to stay for one night and then go back to Taicang.

Gao Xu and Miaojin's room arrived first, he stood at the door, turned his head and said, "By the way, we have a new home in Taicang, you can have a light meal in a few days." ”

Xiao Deng asked, "What guests did Mr. Liu invite?" ”

Gao Xu glanced at Miaojin, "Except for the two of us, there are only Xiao Deng and Wang Cheng." ”

Xiao Deng nodded and said, "Okay, go back and tell me the specific time." Mr. Liu, Miss Wei, rest early. ”

"So are you." Miao Jin Road.

The door to the room was opened, and the two of them walked in. Gao Xu couldn't help but say with a little emotion: "I still trust people who choose more and choose on their own initiative, rather than being chosen." ”

Miaojin smiled: "You said Mr. Pan? ”

Gao Xu nodded and said suddenly: "My performance at the reception before, obviously impatient?" ”

Miaojin looked sideways slightly, thought for a while, and said, "I can't hear what you said." But it's okay, I can see anyway, you're not in high spirits. ”

The two stayed in Beijing for one night and returned to Taicang early the next day. Miaojin went to school, and she often skips school, but if she doesn't go, it doesn't seem to be in accordance with the rules. Gao Xu returned to his new home with nothing to do.

The Jingshi Literary and Art Society alone has recently had many events that Gao Xu can participate in. In addition, he can also participate in meetings and gatherings related to animation studios in Taicang. However, Gao Xu didn't want to go, so he stayed at home.

He bought some wooden boards, arrow targets, pulley bows and other equipment online, and bought a lot of books again. Just swimming, archery, and reading books, he felt like he could stay in the house for many years. After all, he used not to go out of the palace all year round, and he was used to it. However, it is still necessary to have a little external socialization, Xiao Deng and Wang Cheng can do it, after all, it is Gao Xu's own choice of people, relying on fate.

Alone at home and reluctant to cook, Gao Xu rode his bicycle to eat at restaurants around the community, changing meals with each meal. Until he found a small Sichuan restaurant, he felt that the taste was indeed very positive, and the reason why the business was not too hot may be the high price.

Among the major cuisines, the style of Sichuan cuisine is generally more civilian, and there are dishes including salt and horse gangs, which deepens the impression of working people, but if you do it carefully, the taste is really good. I think Gao Xu is still a more practical person.

He has eaten too many delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he can't make them himself, but he can eat them. Where he thinks it's delicious, this restaurant must be a little particular.

When he had finished eating, he called the waiter and asked, "Can I meet the cook?" ”

The waitress hurriedly said, "Sir, please wait a moment." ”

After a while, a middle-aged man in a uniform and a hat came out and said with a smiling face: "Today's dish, what's wrong with Mr.'s heart?" I hope for more advice. Gao Xu waved his hand and said: "No, except for the high price, it is basically perfect." You made this dish? ”

The chef said: "Yes, except for the waiter and the dun are hired people, we are family-run, and the contempt is the owner and chef." Ancestral craftsmanship, no branches, to ensure the stability of the taste of the dishes. ”

"Is there any outsourcing service?" Gao Xu asked, "What is it...... Come to my house to help make a dinner and I can provide kitchenware and cutlery. ”

The chef smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, we haven't done anything like this. ”

"I'm willing to pay a service fee of 2,000 yuan, and the ingredients are extra." Gao Xue said.

The chef said, "I'm really sorry, maybe I'm not too busy to come." ”

Gao Xu said again: "Three thousand." ”

The chef hurriedly said, "Thank you very much for ...... of it"

"Six thousand." Gao Xu was a little impatient.

The chef's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a moment, and finally asked, "How many people did you prepare for dinner?" ”

Gao Xu replied, "There are four or five hosts and guests. ”

The chef thought for a moment and said, "Our business is usually very good at the end of the decade, do you see, the first two days of the decade, is the time appropriate?" ”

Gao Xu thought about it, Wang Cheng and Xiao Deng are taking their own salaries, and they don't have to go to work recently. He nodded and said, "How about the beginning of the second month?" ”

The chef nodded and said, "Okay, at the beginning of the second month, we will prepare the ingredients in the afternoon." ”

Gao Xu saw that the decoration of this store was very exquisite, and it should not cost a lot of money, so he happily paid the 5,000 service fee first to show his sincerity, as long as he had a receipt. Then I went to the back kitchen, learned about the origin of the ingredients of various dishes, and chose a few dishes under the recommendation of the chef.

After finishing the work, Gao Xu sent a message to tell Miaojin about his arrangements.

Miaojin quickly replied to the message: Do you think my cooking is not delicious? Hum!

Gao Xu: Of course not, I like to eat your food the most. But when a guest comes, things are very many and complicated, don't I feel sorry for you and worry about you? Besides, let's eat and chat together, it's a good thing, if the host has been busy, the guests also come to help, there is no need.

Miaojin: Okay, accept your explanation.

Gao Xu walked outside the restaurant and came to the place where the bicycle was kept. He put his thumb up first, and an electronic device "dripped" to show the number, and Gao Xu approached with his mobile phone again, and confidently unlocked the car. He searched the company's service introduction, and after taking the bicycle, the fingerprint was automatically erased. There were also a few unlocked bikes parked at the door, but the expensive ones were locked.

He has become more and more comfortable with his current life.

When he returned home, he made another general plan, and on the day of the treat, he gave the promised bonus, and then arranged a trip to Egypt with Miaojin.

Gao Xu sat by the pool and thought to himself for a while, but a book next to him never opened. He still had that secret in his heart, and from time to time he couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

Maybe you should find a chance to go back to that cave and do a field trip.

Thinking of this, he continued to shop online on his mobile phone, some strange equipment and things, which are easier to find on the Internet. You don't have to go to many stores to look for it, you can get a lot of information in one search.
