Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1184 I'll give you a task

Xiuer glared at the car: "How annoying."

Xiao Wei asked, "Is this from your school?"

Xiuer said, "Yeah, they're upperclassmen. There are so many kids in this school whose families are officials or business owners, and they always have something to show off. They hang around our dorm every day, it's so annoying, like they're afraid people won't know they have a car and money. They think they're so cool with that beat-up car."

Chen Hui laughed and said, "Xiuer's standards have risen now. You think 100 is just a piece of junk."

Xiuer chuckled twice, then turned around and said, "You guys better hurry up and leave, what are you muttering about?"

Zhang Yanting and Yang Xue and the other four quickened their pace to catch up. Zhang Yanting waved to Xiu'er, who then broke away from Qin Xuemei and went over to her.

Zhang Yanting said, "Yang Xue's brain stops working the moment she hears about food. Why don't we just find a place nearby to grab a bite? That place sounds expensive."

Xiuer said, "It's okay, I want to eat too. I've decided, I'll have Yang Xue take me to eat all the good places in Beijing from the beginning."

Zhang Yanting glanced at Xiaowei and asked Xiuer, "You seem quite bold now that your brother and sister are here. Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

Xiuer raised her little face: "Isn't this my brother? I used to be too afraid to go out because I was worried about the chaos outside. Now my brother is studying here too."

Zhang Yanting lowered her voice and asked, "Are you really going? Why not somewhere else?"

Xiuer shook her head and said, "No need, you don't need to worry. My brother and his family don't usually think about these things when they eat. As long as it tastes good, that's all that matters."

Zhang Mingfang asked, "Zhang Xiu, what does your brother do? He seems quite important." She was also from Northeast China, specifically Jilin Province.

Xiuer said, "They're in business, the three of them are partners, along with my brother Chen. My brother is really capable, but he just isn't growing tall, which is a worry." She's almost taller than Xiaowei now.

Girls who are 1.65 meters or taller tend to look taller than boys who are 1.7 meters. Xiaowei is just over 1.7 meters tall, and he's still lame.

Yang Xue looked at Xiao Wei: "She's not very tall." She's 168cm tall, even taller than Xiu'er.

Zhang Yanting asked, "Is your brother also studying here? How old is he? What does he study?"

Xiuer said, "Business school, CEO program. My brother is twenty-two, so what? My brother Chen is twenty-four."

Yang Xue asked, "How old is your sister?"

Xiuer said, "Twenty-four? She always says it's her age in the traditional Chinese way of counting age, and her birthday is early. Let me tell you, don't even think about hitting on my brother. They're both married now, and my sister-in-law is giving birth to my nephew this year. Chen's kids are already running all over the place."

Yang Xue raised her hand and slapped Xiu'er: "Are you trying to die? Saying everything."

Xiuer pouted: "Given your local worldview, I need to give you a heads-up and a heads-up."

Zhang Mingfang said, "Yes, we have to be careful of her. Their ideas about marriage and relationships between men and women are different from ours. They rely entirely on their feelings."

The girls were laughing and joking around. Qin Xuemei turned her head and glanced at them, saying, "They get along quite well. If one of the six of them was a loner, it would be awkward. Xiuer is quite lucky." She had changed dormitories several times at Liaoning University because she couldn't stand the girls and couldn't get along with them.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Xiaowei said, "We only brought one car today. You guys can go ahead in the car. Yang Xue, you sit in the passenger seat and give directions. We'll take a taxi."

Zhang Yanting said, "Shall we take a taxi?"

Xiao Wei said, "No need, you guys get in the car."

Zhang Mingfang came over and took Xiuer's arm: "I'll go with Xiuer, the four of you go first."

Chen Hui opened the car door, and Yang Xue's eyes lit up: "Wow, this car is really big." She climbed in, and Zhang Yanting and the other two also got in. Chen Hui waved and drove away, while Xiao Wei, Qin Xuemei, Xiu'er, and Zhang Mingfang walked towards the school gate.

Behind them, in the driver's seat of the 100km truck, a guy exhaled smoke out the window: "Damn, they're from the military. Oh well."

Someone behind said, "What can a soldier do? Dating is against the law." They had just been taken aback by Qin Xuemei's appearance and were observing her.

The driver shook his head: "Military license plates? Forget it, I'm not going to bother with that. Do whatever you want, I'm not getting involved."

The people in the back looked at each other, and there was an awkward moment in the car.

Xiao Wei had no idea that a little incident had occurred in that short time. He and Xiu'er took a taxi from the west gate of Renmin University and headed straight for Tongheju.

When the four of them arrived, Chen Hui and the others started ordering food.

Contrary to expectations, Tongheju is not a grand, imposing building with towering archways and upturned eaves. It's housed in a modern building, spanning several hundred square meters. There's a large hall with several large private rooms, decorated in a classic, antique style.

Chen Hui didn't go into the private room, but found a well-lit spot in the lobby.

"We've ordered. What else would you like to order?" Chen Hui handed the menu to Xiu'er and said to Xiao Wei, "The dishes are alright, but I don't know how they taste."

Xiao Wei pulled out a chair for Qin Xuemei, then sat down himself and said, "Have a taste. Let's order one of each of the specialties, you guys eat more."

Xiuer ordered a sea cucumber and a shrimp, and handed the menu to Xiaowei: "I feel like it's just an old brand. They say it's been open for over a hundred years, but the dishes don't look like anything special."

Chen Hui said, "There's more traditional stuff here, that's what we're selling. If you're talking about the dishes themselves, they're all pretty much the same."

Xiao Wei said, "How about we get a few people to visit some of the more famous restaurants, write down the signature dishes, and try them out? What do you think?"

Chen Hui pointed at Xiu'er: "This is ready-made, six people is about right. Xiu'er, I'm giving you a task: whenever you have time, go out and find some old, famous restaurants like this to eat at, try all the specialty dishes, and then write a report. Can you do that?"

Xiuer clenched her little fist: "We guarantee to complete the mission. Leave it to us. Hahaha, where else can you find such a good deal?"

Zhang Yanting looked up, a little confused: "Try them all?"

Chen Hui said, "I want to try all the famous and unique restaurants, and skip the cheap or small ones. I want to go to these big restaurants."

Xiuer asked, "Does this count as me starting work? How much funding will be approved?"

Xiao Wei said, "We'll reimburse you for everything, and you can try all the famous dishes and specialties from each restaurant. There are two things to keep in mind: first, no alcohol is allowed; second, you have to write a complete report, all six of you have to write one, and copying from each other won't count. Just write down your true feelings and thoughts."

Xiuer waved her hand: "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll make sure it's handled perfectly for you."

Chen Hui asked, "Do you have enough money on you?"

Xiuer said, "I don't know, I've never been to such a high-end place before. Let's see how much this meal costs."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, we'll give you a bonus if you perform well."

Xiuer said, "Brother, can you come to the company for an internship when we're juniors? I don't want to go to an unfamiliar place."

Xiao Wei said, "That depends on what direction you want to take in the future. Don't worry about it. Uncle Chen will take care of the arrangements."
