"Hey, it’s not like you don’t know, when I ca over, it was the peak rush hour, and the traffic was as bad as an old man with decades of constipation, not moving at all. What could I do?"
Director Liu shook his head helplessly, then turned to pull his wife over, and said to her with a smile,
"This is Principal He from Jiang University, an old acquaintance of mine. We really have to thank him this ti, otherwise we wouldn’t have the chance to be here enjoying such good food."
Director Liu’s wife wore a faint smile and nodded slightly at Vice Principal He: "Hello, Principal He!"
"Deputy, deputy, Vice Principal!"
Vice Principal He quickly waved his hand to emphasize, with a face full of smiles,
"You two really are a loving couple, even for your wedding anniversary you have to prepare ticulously, unlike us rough people who muddle through without rembering any anniversaries, haha!"
After just a few words, Director Liu started to grow impatient and waved his hand, saying:
"Alright, alright, didn’t you say everyone was getting impatient? Let’s stop chatting away, and hurry inside. I really want to see what delicious food Principal He has ordered!"
As he spoke, he didn’t wait for Vice Principal He to respond and stepped forward.
"Do you even know which private room it is? Rushing ahead like that!"
Seeing this, Vice Principal He quickly followed up and didn’t forget to remind him as he walked, "The furthest one on the left, the ’Winter’ room!"
Watching Director Liu rushing ahead impatiently, his wife also looked helpless, slightly shook her head, sighed, and slowly started to follow.
This is n for you!
Even at old age, he’s still like this, when he cos across sothing he likes, he dares to leave his wife behind.
Look at him now, isn’t it just like that?
Upon entering the room, she discovered that besides Vice Principal He, there were several strangers. They only chatted a little before the waiters started bringing in the dishes.
One by one, the exquisitely plated dishes were brought up, and before long, the large round table was filled with a variety of dishes.
The spacious room was filled with the enticing aroma, making everyone’s already hungry stomach growl more, and so people could even be heard with rumbling stomach sounds.
"The food is all here, and we’re all hungry, so let’s skip the chatter. Co on, let’s down this glass of wine first, and dig in!"
Seeing everyone in the room staring blankly at the fragrant dishes, so even subconsciously licking their lips, Vice Principal He couldn’t stand it anymore. He quickly stood up, raised his glass, gestured to everyone, and said with a smile,
"Cheers! May each of us here, after going through countless storms, return still as young at heart!"
"Great! Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"..."
Everyone snapped back to reality, and one by one stood up, raised their glasses, clinked them, and drank it all in one go.
"Everyone, help yourselves, don’t stand on ceremony!"
Vice Principal He said this as if he was the one hosting today. He picked up his chopsticks and said with a cheerful smile,
"If the food’s not enough, we can always order more, but everyone must eat their fill today, that’s for sure!"
After saying this, he didn’t wait for others to react, quickly stretched his chopsticks into the dish in front of him, picked up a shiny piece of braised pork, and popped it into his mouth.
Director Liu’s wife was dumbfounded for a mont, thinking, this eating manner...
Is he really a Vice Principal of a university?!
What she didn’t expect was that this wasn’t the most surprising behavior, but what was more shocking was a tall, slightly bald middle-aged man sitting across from her!
This bald middle-aged man didn’t even use chopsticks. He just picked up a small spoon and scooped almost half of a plate of Mapo tofu in front of him in a few swift motions, then brought it to his mouth, and gulped it down in just a few spoonfuls!
This scene left her utterly stunned!
Is this guy starved for three or four days just for this al?
Otherwise, there’s no way to explain such ravenous eating habits!
Absolutely impossible!
However, when she looked around the room again, she found that everyone seed like they hadn’t eaten before. Since Vice Principal He said "cheers," no one uttered a word but sat in their places, vigorously stuffing their mouths with food.
It was as if missing out on a bite would be a cri!
Simply terrifying!
As she wore a full face of shock, with her mind in chaos, Director Liu, sitting next to her, tugged at her arm, frowned, and whispered:
"What’s with the daze? Eat quickly! You can’t find such delicious food even if you’ve got the money, and who knows when we’ll have the chance again!"
Before his wife could react, Director Liu had already piled a bunch of dishes into her bowl, urging her while doing so,
"Hurry up and eat, don’t just sit there, or don’t bla if you regret it later!"
She looked at the bowl in front of her: ribs, braised pork, lion’s head atballs, and so other dishes, so of which she didn’t normally eat.
His wife couldn’t help but frown, feeling a bit disappointed:
This Lao Liu, he cares less and less about now. He clearly knows I never eat greasy food, like braised pork. The reason I make this dish is just because he likes it, but I never touch it myself.
