Volume 1 Beginning of Summer Chapter 84: Dual Swords
Xu Huan naturally agreed.
He sent the name and address of the restaurant to Ding Tianhua, and then took them to order food.
Walking into Xiangmu Roasted Lamb, Xu Huan greeted the boss familiarly and took them to the private room on the second floor.
Jiang You put down his bag and sat down.
The waiter brought iced lemonade and menus.
After Xu Huan poured three glasses of water, he picked up a pen and marked the menu.
Jiang You took a sip of lemonade and asked Ding Tianhua, "Is Ma Yi still showing off his affection every day?"
"Show off, of course you should show off," Ding Tianhua held the cup in his hand, "I'll just endure it until he gets married."
Xu Huan looked up at Ding Tianhua and said, "What's wrong with getting married?"
"After getting married, there are two more elders above me and more children below me. I have the lowest status in the family and I have to solve all the problems."
"It sounds very insightful," Xu Huan finished ordering the dishes and handed the menu to Jiang You and Ding Tianhua, "Do you want to add anything? And what drinks do you want?"
Jiang You took the menu and looked through it. "Too many, right? Roasted whole lamb and hot pot."
"Not much," Xu Huan explained, "The soup base of the hot pot is mutton soup, and the food is mutton offal. A bowl of this is just enough to relieve the greasiness after eating mutton."
"I want a Coke, what about you?"
"Don't you want to drink?" Xu Huan asked.
"You can have a drink."
"I want beer," Ding Tianhua took the menu and asked, "How many people are there now?"
"There are three of us, two of his friends, and five girls, so ten in total."
"His girlfriend is here. She must be drinking coconut milk or yogurt. Whatever. Let's just have six bottles of beer first."
Xu Huan called the waitress in, handed her the menu, and said, "The lamb can be grilled now."
"OK."
As they were talking, Ma Yi and Lang Xing walked in.
Lang Xing smiled at Jiang You.
Ding Tianhua stood up and introduced to Xu Huan, "This is photographer Ma Yi and his girlfriend."
"He was the one who took the photos and videos of my yard." Jiang You added.
"Oh, okay, I'm Xu Huan, sit down, sit down..."
Ma Yi and Lang Xing sat down next to Jiang You.
Jiang You looked at Ma Yi's chin and asked, "You seem to have gained some weight?"
Ma Yi glanced at him and said, "Same here."
"I lost weight. I lost two kilograms."
"How dare you say two kilograms? It's gone after you take a shit."
Jiang You glanced at Lang Xing and said, "Look, Lang Xing is frowning. You need to be civilized and have good manners."
Ma Yi ignored Jiang You and asked Ding Tianhua, "Who else is coming?"
Ding Tianhua pointed at Xu Huan and said, "His company's artists, five girls, how about it? Do you feel that we are also enjoying the treatment of the entertainment industry's sponsors?"
"Be careful or I'll tell your wife about it."
"She doesn't care about me."
The door was pushed open again, and five girls walked in. They were all very young, no more than twenty years old. Their looks might not be that good, but their faces were full of collagen, and they looked young and energetic.
Xu Huan introduced Jiang You and other three people to them. After they called each other "General Jiang and General Ma" for a while, they sat down.
Ma Yi nudged Jiang You's arm with his elbow and said, "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette, do you want to come?"
Jiang You knew that Ma Yi had something to say to him, so he took his cell phone out of his bag, put it in his trouser pocket, and stood up.
They walked downstairs and out of the store.
After Ma Yi handed Jiang You a cigarette, he took out one and lit it, "I'm getting married."
"That's great. When will the banquet be held?"
"Maybe next year. I want to ask Xiaoxing if she is really okay now?"
"It's okay. What's wrong? Do you feel something is wrong?"
Ma Yi exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I just feel that the beauty is a little unreal."
"The delicate heart of a literary youth..." Jiang You teased him.
"I hope everything is fine."
"Live a good life. When you have time, come to my shop and take postcards for me. You will feel at ease if you take more photos." Jiang You glanced at Ma Yi. "The cigarettes and candies you got from me didn't contain any excessive pigments, right?"
Ma Yi said somewhat embarrassedly: "No, no, my family ran out of cigarettes a few days ago and I smoked it."
"You should also... have a baby soon. Then you'll be busy and won't have random thoughts all day long."
After smoking a cigarette, they walked back to the private room. The roasted whole lamb had been prepared. The stove was lit with smokeless fruit charcoal, and the roasted whole lamb was strung with iron wire and placed on the road.
"Tear the skin first," Xu Huan demonstrated. "Try it. The skin is very crispy and not greasy."
Ding Tianhua took a bite and said, "Well, it's really not greasy. How come everyone I know is so good at eating?"
"That means all the people you know are fat." Jiang You took a piece of meat from the lamb leg.
Very tender and juicy. No smell at all.
Seeing them teasing each other, the five girls no longer remained reserved and started chattering about gossip. The names of 123 Go Forward and Yang Xuan were mentioned from time to time.
Ma Yi felt that the name Yang Xuan was familiar. He picked up a piece of lamb ribs and put it in Lang Xing's bowl. He picked up another piece for himself. He remembered it and asked Jiang You: "I remember you are a fan of Yang Xuan, right?"
"Yes," Jiang You admitted frankly, and then he added, "She bought postcards from me."
"The whole internet was bashing it before, right? Let me be fair, from a technical perspective, this was a perfect operation case. The topic guidance, divergence, superposition, and timing coordination were all very precise," Ding Tianhua commented.
"If I were to come and have the same resources, I don't think I could do as well. And I suspect that this case might be an emergency plan. Why? Because the time between the smoking photo and the bullying was too short. I suspect something happened in between. The smoking photo should have been left out for a day or two. One group of people thought it was nothing, while the other group thought it was bad. After the argument cooled down a bit, the bullying was exposed. In this way, the group that thought it was bad would feel that they had won, and their momentum would immediately rise."
He ate a piece of mutton. "This group of people will never admit defeat. Even if the relevant departments intervene later, they will turn into rational people and start to analyze the matter one by one. I don't know if that Hu La Xiao Pengyou is an individual or a company-operated account. He is quite powerful."
Jiang You ate a piece of pickled cucumber as a side dish and said, "Yang Xuan woke up in the middle and took a photo and posted it on Weibo."
"Yes, yes, that's right, no wonder," Ding Tianhua nodded, "Hey, three colleagues were arrested. If you ask me, we are just the guns, and it was the sponsor who pulled the trigger, right?"
"Your financial sponsor is sitting next to you." Jiang You interjected.
"Yes, yes," Ding Tianhua picked up the cup, clinked it with Xu Huan's, and drank it all. "Mr. Xu is sentimental, and I am also kind. We are the two swords that work together , right? We are invincible!"
Hearing Ding Tianhua's words, the girls all laughed.
