    Master Pan is not happy.

    The consequences are serious.

    Panjialou is a famous building that is well-known among the gourmets all over the country. According to Pan Xingchang, the oldest shop in their house is located in the alleyway of City B. It has a history of more than 300 years.up.

    The sign on the door, and the calligraphy on the wall in the old store were all written by dignitaries at that time, and even the kitchen knives and cutting boards in the store were gifted by the emperor at that time.

    Regarding this... Gao Deyun was skeptical.

    But to the outside world, when Gao Deyun mentioned the Panjia Building, he just lost his mind and bragged: "Yes, Master Pan Xingchang, their building has a relationship... Guess who wrote the words on the porch? Yes, That’s that so-and-so. Do you know the chopping board they used to chop meat? Hey, so you know, it was a gift from the emperor when so-and-so enjoyed eating lion’s head in Panjialou!”

    and so on.

    Give Pan Xingchang enough face.

    After all, regardless of whether the origin of the Panjialou is true or not, in City B, a place full of fierce competition for gourmet food, Mr. Pan's craftsmanship has indeed conquered the pickiest gourmets, as well as the manager of Qi's previous generation.people.

    As a result, Pan Xingchang managed the most prosperous Panjialou, became Qi's gourmet consultant, and incidentally controlled... the lifeblood of Qi's dining hall.

    He also had such a good friendship with the elders of the Qi family that Gao Deyun didn't dare to offend him.

    As soon as Gao Deyun thought, last time, he was picky about the food in the canteen, fooling Pan Xingchang into making a good meal... For the next month, the aunt in the canteen didn't give him a good face.

    Obviously he is Party A!Is there such a humble Party A?

    anyway.

    Gao Deyun looked at Pan Xingchang who seemed to be eating people, and ate the beef shortbread in pain and joy.The beef shortbread has been left for a while, and it is already a little cold, but the filling is still strong and warm.

    In fact, Gao Deyun really wanted to explain to Pan Xingchang quickly and say a few nice words, but——

    His mouth is almost glued to the shortbread!

    The Qi Group is rich and powerful, and the newly built building reveals its strong financial resources. Naturally, there are microwave ovens in the company.

    Previously, if the food was cold, Gao Dexing would stroll to the tea room to borrow the microwave oven. By the way, while waiting for the food to "ding", he would stand behind the company's big green plant and listen to the tea room... It was extremely dramatic.Strong gossip.

    Occasionally, I can hear the part scolding myself.

    In Gao Deyun's view, other foods can be heated in a microwave.

    However, only Feng Qianguan food, especially the beef shortbread, must never be put in the microwave.

    The crispy dough puffed up just right, and the tender meat stuffed with beef tendon are all miracles created by the fire.Reheat it in the microwave oven again, the heat is hot, but the taste is not right.

    Therefore, Gao Deyun munched on the cake.

    At night in the city, in the sky on the 28th floor, in a quiet office, the sound of a person eating pancakes echoed...

    "Ba ha ha ha ha ha ha."

    Pan Xingchang just watched him eat expressionlessly.

    The little secretary looked embarrassed, while the little apprentice looked bewildered.

    Before the last lingering warmth of the beef shortbread dissipated, Gao Deyun finally finished eating the shortbread contentedly, and his spirit returned to the real world.

    He wiped his mouth and looked at Pan Xingchang sincerely: "Master Pan, I was wrong."

    Pan Xingchang asked: "Is it delicious?"

    Gao Deyun was about to boast, but when he met Pan Xingchang's dangerous eyes, he immediately shuddered: "It's just a small shop. It can't compare to Master Pan's craftsmanship."

    After Gao Deyun finished speaking, he touched his chest subconsciously.

    Sorry conscience.

    Gao Deyun changed the subject: "Master Pan, why did you come all the way tonight? Didn't you mean the day after tomorrow?"

    "The last thing was done ahead of schedule. I went to play chess with Mr. Qi yesterday, so let me stop by to see Mr. Qi." Pan Xingchang said casually, "By the way, how is Qi Yan now? He hasn't been home for a long time."

    Gao Deyun probably knew a little about Qi Yan's family affairs, so he avoided this topic as if to save his life, and laughed pretending to be ignorant: "Mr. Qi is quite powerful. You have also seen how the Qi family has developed under his management."

    Pan Xingchang thought of what he saw when he visited the branch just now, and nodded: "Indeed. This kid is better than his father and grandfather."

    Pan Xingchang: "Forget it, let's get down to business. You said earlier that you want me to check the branch company's annual banquet? Since you are not satisfied with the local restaurants here, why don't you just let Pan's house do it? If you putWith enough money, it’s easy to fly a few cooks over.”

    "Oh, I really want to." Gao Deyun explained, "We are going to invite entrepreneurs from City A. We plan to have a deeper understanding of the market here. Of course, we have to follow the customs of the country and find a local restaurant with a more unified temperament."

    Pan Xingchang didn't quite understand the details that Gao Deyun cared about, but since Gao Deyun said so, he accepted it.

    Pan Xingchang: "Alright then, I'll run around City A for you in the past two days, and take a trip along the way to see if there's anything that catches my eye."

    Gao Deyun's expression suddenly turned a little strange: "Master Pan..."

    Pan Xingchang: "?"

    Gao Deyun: "Actually, I... already have a choice, and I think it's pretty good."

    Pan Xingchang stared at Gao Deyun and paused for a moment: "So, I came to you today, not only to see you cheating me for eating cakes, but also to listen to you...you just did my work? I have to thank youYou."

    Gao Deyun said along the way: "Oh, no. You're welcome. You can just rest in the hotel these two days."

    Pan Xingchang: "You really think I'm being polite! If you dare to screw up a dinner party at Qi's, you'll screw up my Pan Xingchang's face! Next time I go to Mr. Qi's place, I'll be ashamed and flustered."

    Gao Deyun hurriedly said: "No, it won't be messed up. Didn't you ask you to check it? Besides, I didn't choose randomly. I can guarantee that you will be satisfied with this store, so I will recommend it to you.Your."

    Pan Xingchang: "You have chosen everything, what is the meaning of my existence here?"

    Gao Deyun: "Go through a process, so that your work as a food consultant has a sense of ritual?"

    Pan Xingchang: "..."

    Pan Xingchang left angrily.

    When he got down to the garage, Pan Xingchang remembered that he forgot to ask what happened to the beef shortbread.

    In fact, the cake Gao Deyun ate had cooled down, and the smell in the office could be called mild and low-key.

    But...Pan Xingchang's nose is very good. When he was a child, he even had the title of "Pan Ergou".Because he is the second child in the family, his nose is as good as a dog's.His grandfather occasionally called him "Pan Goubi"...

    Compared with this title, Pan Xingchang felt that "Pan Ergou" was pretty good.

    He can't forget at all, in front of outsiders, when his grandfather called him "Pan Goubi", the surprised eyes of the guests...

    In short, with the help of his gifted nose and Gao Deyun's way of eating a cake, he wanted to chew it for twenty times, Pan Xingchang smelled a lot of things.

    The beef shortbread is very particular. The flour used for the shortbread has at least some starch mixed in. When kneading the dough, first knead a part of the dough with cold water, and then add hot water to knead the other part to be hot.

    The part of the dead noodles is as thin and tough as the skin of Xiaolongbao, which can hold the gravy, while the part of the hot noodles is soft and sweet, and it will be crispy to the dregs when you bite it lightly.

    Only in this way can the dough be made into the layered and delicate appearance in Gao Deyun's hands, and at the same time the noodles are full of fragrance, making people hungry.

    This approach is exquisite.

    What is more particular is the modulation of the beef patty filling.

    In the small ball of stuffing, Pan Xingchang could smell the smell of several seasonings: star anise, pepper, angelica, bay leaf... But these spices were only used to enhance the flavor, and the amount was just right, without covering up the flavor of the beef.

    The fresh and mellow, unique meaty aroma exuded by fresh beef is the soul of the whole dish.

    Just smelling it makes people's soul flutter.

    I don’t know which time-honored bakery’s handicraft this is…

    Pan Xingchang was pondering, recalling the appearance of the beef shortbread, suddenly felt a wave of scratching his heart.But now it is absolutely impossible for him to go back and ask Gao Deyun.

    "Master, don't you want to go?"

    On the side, the little apprentice stared blankly at his master standing beside the car, thinking, moving out, back, and out... back.

    "Forget it, let's go. Go to the hotel first." Pan Xingchang said.

    "Okay." The little apprentice opened the car door for the master.

    ...

    the other side.

    In the Children's Palace in City A, amidst the noise of the children, Bao Jingman spent half a painful night.

    Bao Jingman: "You can't jump like this! How many times has the teacher said it? Do you understand it or not?"

    Bao Jingman: "Stand up for me, don't be lazy! Don't rest if you don't practice well!"

    Bao Jingman: "Let go! Don't touch the teacher's bag!"

    After finally reaching the intermission, Bao Jingman quickly slipped back to the office with the excuse of going to the bathroom.

    After leaving the children's magic voice, Bao Jingman also calmed down a little, and at the same time realized that he was really impatient tonight...

    Some things that could be easily communicated, but because of her lack of patience, she directly messed them up. Now the children are not very happy, and she is also very unhappy.If the children go home and say something later, she will have to accept complaints from their parents.

    Oh, why can't I control my temper?Bao Jingman sat back on her seat decadently, feeling so uncomfortable that she almost wanted to pinch herself.

    She clutched her abdomen in pain.

    Then... my stomach growled.

    Yes!Bao Jingman realized that it was because she was too hungry tonight, she couldn't concentrate at all, her mind was full of the beef patty and jujube cake that Tang Tingting ate.

    The beef patties are hot, fragrant, and full of rich gravy, while the jujube cakes are crispy and sweet. The sweet jujube aroma reminds people of little red lanterns, and the fragrance and sweetness that fall heavily on the branchesdate.

    Tang Tingting ate to her heart's content.

    It's just her suffering!

    The aroma of the food was like a key, unlocking the switch of her appetite.

    Bao Jingman collected herself, rummaged through boxes and cabinets at her workstation, and finally found a pack of chocolates, checked that the expiration date had not expired, and ate them whole.

    Ah, so sweet!

    Bao Jingman's face wrinkled in pain.

    But there is something more in the stomach anyway, and the blood sugar should also rise accordingly.Bao Jingman took a deep breath and walked back to the classroom.

    When passing through the aisle, Bao Jingman saw a half-bald middle-aged man, and immediately said respectfully: "Hey, Director Xie, you haven't come home yet?"

    "It's Xiaoman!" Director Xie smiled kindly, "I really want to go home! But isn't this all work at hand? So busy now."

    Bao Jingman said politely: "You are lucky."

    Director Xie: "Xiaoman, aren't you in class tonight? Why are you here?"

    Bao Jingman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I... I am in class, now I will give the children a break, and I will go back to the office to get something."

    In fact, he was looking for something to eat, but of course Bao Jingman would not say that, this is called leaving work without authorization.

    "Oh, then go back quickly after you've finished taking it!" Director Xie nodded, thinking of something, and ordered, "By the way, you have to work hard! The report performance at the end of the year must satisfy the parents. Like Tingting and her classThe programs currently scheduled are very good, ouch, those children are so cute and well-behaved..."

    Director Xie urged again: "Don't miss too far!"

    "Ah?" Bao Jingman didn't react, and watched Director Xie go away with an awkward smile.

    After the leader left, Bao Jingman turned around, eyes full of surprise.

    how is this possible?!

    Tang Tingting's class...it was obviously she who got rid of it with great difficulty. Those children were young and difficult to manage, and they had no self-control, let alone perseverance!

    She gave them a lesson that felt like shedding a layer of skin.

    That Tang Tingting was also a novice just like her, and she cried secretly when she first took over the class... It's only been a few weeks, and she's done with those dolls?!

    impossible!

    Almost subconsciously, Bao Jingman turned around and walked to the other end of the aisle.

    Outside a classroom.

    Bao Jingman peeked in through the gap in the curtain.

    I saw the dance room of the junior class, the wooden floor was clean and bright, so spotless that it almost reflected light.

    And on this floor, children as big as peas... are quietly and obediently pressing their legs, and those who don't are practicing their movements by themselves.

    There was confusion in Bao Jingman's eyes.

    When she took over, wasn't this group of guys all little devil kings?

    Now... have you changed your gender?!

    The cell phone rang at this time, Bao Jingman glanced at the time, and hurried to her classroom, her heart was full of anxiety.

    If, according to the current situation...

    Don't talk about the "excellent teacher", but talk about the report performance, her class will be completely compared to Tang Tingting's!

    Unlike the restless Bao Jingman, Tang Tingting was in a good mood in the room separated by a wall.

    After seeing Liu Yanjin, a student in her class, protecting the food, and tasting Feng Qianguan's delicacies, Tang Tingting came up with an idea in her mind.

    She bought a few boxes of sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes and communicated with the parents one by one. After obtaining the consent, she gave the sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes as a reward for the children's serious attendance in class.

    Tang Tingting: "The teacher will bring sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes every time. The teacher will reward the four children who are the most serious in every class with a piece of cake, okay?"

    When the children smelled the sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes, their voices almost lifted the roof: "Good!"

    Tang Tingting: "Do you want to eat cake?"

    Children: "I want to—"

    Tang Tingting: "Then do you want to be serious later?"

    Children: "To-"

    In short, relying on the sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes, Tang Tingting's relationship with the junior class students has been shortened rapidly, and the experience of going to work every day has suddenly improved a lot.

    Driven by the faint sweet smell, the children tried their best to make every dance move in place, and there were no mistakes in the rhythm, as if all of them had suddenly awakened their prodigy side.

    There are also dolls who accidentally practiced until they got tired and fell down.

    Tang Tingting doesn't have to urge everyone not to be lazy now, but instead has to persuade the dolls not to be tired.

    Tang Tingting smiled silently.

    Probably when these children grow up a little bit, they will realize that they are so naive... how cute they are dominated by sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes.

    ...

    The exterior wall of Qi's Building is one-way light-transmitting, and people standing inside can see the bustling traffic in the center of City A at a glance.Standing at a high position, a little temperament will naturally emerge from the bottom of my heart.

    At this time, Wei Haoze was standing in the building, and saw that the people on the sidewalk had turned into small dots under him, and he felt relieved after being depressed for a few days.

    These days, ever since he mentioned at the family banquet that he could win Qi's order, he has been questioned by Jiang Haichao and Jiang Xiaotang from time to time.

    At the beginning, Wei Haoze was quite happy that his sense of existence finally increased, but when he realized that Qi's list was not as easy to get as he imagined, this kind of inquiry became torture.

    While waiting, Wei Haoze flicked through his phone boredly, and after touching the chat record with Jiang Xiaotang by mistake, he quickly quit.

    This morning, Jiang Xiaotang's cousin Jiang Yan didn't know what was going on, so he came to ask Jiang Xiaotang to ask his crimes. What he said was that Wei Haoze was incompetent and lost the Jiang family's list.

    Said it was asking for guilt, but it was actually taking the opportunity to ridicule.

    Jiang Xiaotang was furious at that time, and Wei Haoze suffered a lot.

    Right now, he can only come to Qi's to make further attempts.

    "Mr. Wei." A voice came from behind.

    Wei Haoze quickly turned around and greeted the person who came out of the office with a smile: "Manager Zhang, how are you doing? Which restaurant in our city does Mr. Gao like?"

    The man known as "Manager Zhang" smiled and played Tai Chi: "This is all the leader's intention. I don't know, and I can't make the decision!"

    "As long as your group is willing, the price of the last plan can still be negotiated. We are very sincere." Wei Haoze added, talking about this and that, but was blocked by Manager Zhang one by one.

    Manager Zhang: "I understand! Thank you, Mr. Wei, give me the plan. If there is any further news, I will contact you again."

    Manager Zhang: "Sorry, Mr. Gao told us to go to a meeting. I will contact Mr. Wei later."

    Wei Haoze: "..."

    Wei Haoze sighed inwardly as he watched Manager Zhang's back going away.But he had no choice but to continue to wait.

    This Manager Zhang is a department manager under Qi's branch, and Wei Haoze is relatively able to talk to him.As for Gao Deyun, he is the vice president of the Qi Group!It was difficult for Wei Haoze to meet him, and he didn't even dare to talk about it with him.

    He was able to contact Gao Deyun directly a while ago because Gao Deyun ate a meal in Jiang's restaurant, and then asked him about holding a banquet, and then he got online.

    Wei Haoze sighed, stood in front of the glass curtain wall to calm down, and then entered the elevator and went down to the first floor, ready to leave Qi's.

    "?"

    When passing through the hall, Wei Haoze caught a bright color from the corner of his eyes.

    The girl was wearing neat jeans and a V-neck shirt, with a thin silver chain hanging on her fair and slender neck, and a dark green pendant on it.

    The long black hair was casually exposed behind her, fluffy and clean, like a black cloud.

    Wei Haoze's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Jiang Ci?!"

    ...

    Seeing Wei Haoze, Jiang Ci raised her eyebrows and stood there without coming over.

    Her perception of Wei Haoze is actually quite strange.She hated this person, but Yuanshen had loved him before, so that every time people around her brought up old stories, she... felt as if she had been bitten by a dog.

    In fact, nothing happened between Yuanzheng and Wei Haoze, because since entering high school, Yuanzheng's status in Jiang's family has changed obviously - it is obviously difficult for her to inherit much from her parents or grandpa.

    From the very beginning, Wei Haoze had no intention of developing with the original body.

    He just enjoys what an innocent, beautiful, and easy-going girl is doing to him.

    Some vague memory fragments flashed through Jiang Ci's mind, and his expression was not very good-looking.

    On the other side, Wei Haoze was also full of thoughts.

    Since he made it clear to Jiang Ci last time that he wanted to develop with Jiang Xiaotang, he hadn't seen this girl again.During this period, he actually approached Jiang Ci, but Jiang Ci blocked him on every communication software, and he had no way to start.

    I didn't expect... to see it here.

    I haven't seen her for dozens of days, but Jiang Ci is actually more beautiful again, with snow-skinned red lips, and even her outfits are more refined and elegant than before.

    Wei Haoze couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

    You know, Jiang Ci is actually much prettier than Jiang Xiaotang, and she has a soft and gentle personality, let alone quarreling in the past, she never even said a few serious words to him...

    And Jiang Xiaotang are completely two extremes.

    Until now, Wei Haoze still doesn't quite believe what Jiang Xiaotang said-Jiang Ci made Jiang Haichao crazy.

    Wei Haoze clearly knows that the girl in front of him once liked and even admired him, and the love in youth is hard to kill, as long as he uses a little trick...

    Maybe, Jiang Ci will still be as devoted to him as before.

    Wei Haoze collected himself, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. He noticed that Jiang Ci was holding a heat preservation bag in his hand.

    Is this for food delivery, or is it for an employee in the Qi's Group, or is she herself a new employee in the Qi's Group?

    Wei Haoze guessed.

    Although Jiang Ci studied in a key college, there are too many students in key colleges every year - without Jiang's father, she will not have a very good development, at most she will be a small employee.

    Not like myself.

    Wei Haoze walked over and stood in front of Jiang Ci, walking gracefully: "Xiao Ci."

    Jiang Ci raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but neither walked away nor spoke to him.

    Wei Haoze was not discouraged by this, and his tone was gentle: "Long time no see, do you work here?"

    This time, Jiang Ci probably didn't want to leave a wrong impression, and said, "No."

    Wei Haoze: "Then you are here...?"

    Jiang Ci: "There's something wrong."

    Before Wei Haoze could speak, Jiang Ci said again, "Don't ask, it's a commercial secret."

    Wei Haoze: "...?"

    Wei Haoze laughed dumbfounded, what kind of business secrets could there be?But when dealing with little girls, he will give her face.

    "Okay, I won't ask." Wei Haoze smiled and changed the question, "Where do you work now, is it the same company as last time?"

    "No." Jiang Xiaotang made trouble about that company. Jiang Ci didn't believe that Wei Haoze hadn't heard of it, so she said casually, "I didn't go to the company anymore."

    Wei Haoze controlled the expression on his face.

    Does this... mean no job?

    If there is no job, Jiang Ci in front of him will probably be able to handle it better.

    Wei Haoze opened his mouth, wanting to continue talking, but saw Jiang Ci looking over his shoulder and looking into the distance, as if he wanted to greet someone.

    Wei Haoze turned around, and was surprised to see...is that Mr. Gao Deyun Gao?!

    Wei Haoze was very pleasantly surprised: Why is Mr. Gao here?He even walked in his direction!Could it be that Mr. Gao is very satisfied with his new plan, and he is finally going to win Qi's order?

    However, when Wei Haoze saw Gao Deyun's chubby face was dizzy from laughing, he said——

    "Miss Jiang, you are finally here! I'm so sorry to keep you waiting here for so long!"

    Jiang Ci smiled: "It's okay, I just waited for half a minute."

    Gao Deyun: "It's my fault for waiting half a minute. Come on, Miss Jiang, let's go up and talk."

    Gao Deyun led Jiang Ci to the elevator, and when he saw the insulation bag in Jiang Ci's hand, his little heart suddenly thumped and beat fast.

    He graciously pressed the elevator button.

    Behind them, Wei Haoze stood sluggishly in the hall where people were coming and going, but somehow he stood there with a feeling of...aloneness.

    what happened?

    Wei Haoze didn't understand.
