Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 22 Ranked No.
Nowadays, unless the relationship is particularly good, people basically won’t let others treat them to a meal. Food is so precious that if you want to go to someone’s house for a meal, you usually bring your own food.

Although Zhou Xinyan said she would treat her to a meal, Xu Qinghuan would not take it seriously.

"I told you I'd treat you!" Zhou Xinyan said unhappily. It was their turn. She was about to order the braised pork, but Xu Qinghuan had already ordered, "Two bowls of plain noodles."

A bowl of Yangchun noodles costs eight cents, weighing two taels, and requires food coupons.

Zhou Xinyan glared at her. The waiter had already reached out to take the money and had given them the number plates, so she had no choice but to hand over the money.

"Are you afraid that I'll ask you to treat her back?" Zhou Xinyan really wanted to treat her to something delicious, mainly because she felt sorry for her.

Xu Qinghuan laughed and said, "You can't even imagine it!"

The two of them took their bowls and shared the table with others. Xu Qinghuan glanced at the person sitting at the table. He looked familiar. He had a crew cut, a round face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. The young man was in high spirits. He looked at Xu Qinghuan twice and smiled meaningfully when he looked into her eyes.

Xu Qinghuan didn't understand, but didn't delve into it. He nodded in thanks and sat down with Zhou Xinyan.

"We still have time after eating. Why don't we go for a walk and then go to the factory gate?" Zhou Xinyan asked.

The results will be announced at two o'clock.

"Okay!" Xu Qinghuan had no objection.

Jiang Chengxu was only two tables away from them. When he saw Xu Qinghuan and Chen Dewen sitting together, he was so angry that he was shaking all over. She knew very well that he and Chen Dewen did not get along, and Jiang's father and Chen's father were sworn enemies in the competition for the position of factory director, but she actually sat at their other table.

This was clearly a slap in his face.

Jiang Chengxu stood up and walked over, standing in front of the table, looking down at Xu Qinghuan, "Manman asked you to sit over here, we've already saved a seat for you, why don't you come over? What are you making a fuss about?"

Xu Qinghuan tightened his grip on the chopsticks, took a deep breath, raised his head, and said with a smile, "Who are you to me? Who is Xu Manman to me? Why should I listen to you?"

"I..." Jiang Chengxu was about to say something when he suddenly thought of the farce at the hospital entrance. He felt even worse, his face darkening. "Haven't you had enough?"

Snapped!
Chen Dewen slammed his chopsticks on the table and stood up. He was about 1.85 meters tall, half a head taller than Jiang Chengxu. He grabbed him by the collar and said, "You want to fight, right? Let's go out and fight. Don't disturb us from eating here!"

Xu Manman hurried over, tears streaming down her face. "Sister, quickly tell your friend to let go of Brother Chengxu. Even if you have a big problem with me, you shouldn't take it out on Brother Chengxu."

Xu Qinghuan finished the last mouthful of soup, put down his chopsticks, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. "I'm sorry, I don't know this comrade. Besides, it's very rude to disturb others while they're eating. I hope you'll be more careful next time!"

After saying that, she and Zhou Xinyan walked away arm in arm.

Chen Dewen didn't want to fight in a place like this. If he broke anything, he would have to pay for it and he would be arrested. He quickly let go and shouted angrily, "If you bark in front of me again, I will never let you go!"

Jiang Chengxu straightened his clothes and exhaled heavily, "My business has nothing to do with you. I didn't talk to you!"

He really didn't expect that Xu Qinghuan would actually hang out with a scum like Chen Dewen. Although Xu Qinghuan said that she didn't know Chen Dewen, Jiang Chengxu didn't believe it at all. They graduated from the same high school, and Chen Dewen was the worst student in the grade. He was involved in all the fights and troubles. How could they not know each other?
There was still half a bowl of braised pork, which they couldn't waste, so they went back to eat.

Xu Manman cried, "Brother Chengxu, it's all my fault. My sister must not want to see me, so she doesn't want to eat at the same table with us. From now on... I will definitely stay away from you. I will explain it to her when I go back and tell her not to be angry with you." Jiang Chengxu was in a bad mood, but seeing Xu Manman crying, he didn't want to vent his anger on her. He said sullenly, "It has nothing to do with you. Don't take it to heart."

The man sitting opposite Chen Dewen asked, "Dewen, is this the man surnamed Jiang?"

Chen Dewen hummed, glancing over there, "See that woman? Keep an eye on her for me. It would be best if we could find a way to bring these two idiots down with us!"

Chen Dewen's father was one of the three deputy directors of a food factory. He and Jiang Chengxu grew up in the same family compound. One was a poor student, while the other was a top student. They were two extremes and had been sworn enemies since childhood.

In the eyes of Chen's father and mother, Jiang Chengxu is someone else's child, and Chen Dewen is their retribution.

In Chen Dewen's eyes, Jiang Chengxu is a hypocrite and a pretentious person.

"Who is that woman?" The companion also took a look and asked.

"My future sister-in-law named Jiang." Chen Dewen curled the corners of his lips.

"No way, that's awesome!" His companion couldn't help but take another look. "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you. You can leave tomorrow, right?"

"Well, I leave it to you!" Chen Dewen was a little depressed. Going to the countryside was not a good thing, especially when he went to the countryside while his enemies were still enjoying themselves in the city. It was even more depressing.

After Xu Qinghuan left, she returned the two taels of food coupons and eight cents to Zhou Xinyan. It was not that she had to do so, but these days no one would eat other people's food at will.

This is not the later times. Many people would rather eat half and throw away the other half, and would never eat overnight meals.

Farmers couldn't get enough to eat, and city dwellers had to buy food at high prices, and everyone was starving to the point of being skin and bones.

"No, if you dare to give it to me, our relationship will end here. If you pass the exam, I would rather go to the countryside than buy your job." Zhou Xinyan seemed angry.

"I'm going to the countryside soon. If you want me to treat you in the future, you may not have the chance. Think about it carefully. If you treat me to a meal, it will only cost you money and not money in return." Xu Qinghuan said with a smile.

"You look down on me?" Zhou Xinyan looked at Xu Qinghuan unhappily. "It's really bad. We just met and we're about to part ways. But no matter where you go, remember that you still have me as your friend."

"Okay!" Xu Qinghuan answered solemnly.

In the book, the original owner did not take the exam for the lighting factory, so naturally she did not know Zhou Xinyan. There were many minor characters in her best friend's book. Xu Qinghuan only knew the general direction of the story and did not pay much attention to the fate of those minor characters. She also did not know whether there was a person named Zhou Xinyan.

Moreover, from the moment Xu Qinghuan decided to break off the engagement and go to the countryside, the plot of the book began to collapse.

Xu Qinghuan didn't worry about this and just let things take their course!
At two o'clock, the two arrived at the gate of the lighting factory. There were already quite a few people gathered there, including those who were taking the exam, and some who were just watching. Jiang Chengxu and Xu Manman were also there.

The invigilator from the Personnel Department came over with a red paper with a list of names written on it. The security guard helped by holding the paste and the brush and painted it on the wall. The invigilator pasted the red paper list. From top to bottom, Xu Qinghuan's name was ranked first, followed by Qian Xingguo, and Zhou Xinyan was third.

"Xu Qinghuan? How is that possible?" Kong Lijuan widened her eyes. Her name was actually ranked second to last.
