Chapter 217: Regret
Shanghai people are famous for their love of hairy crabs.
It is almost mid-October, and although the male crabs are not yet full at this time, the female crabs are in their prime.
The place where Liang Yuxin is having dinner tonight is Guangjulou, a restaurant in Xuhui famous for its hairy crabs.
A pair of male and female crabs weighing at least 8 taels are tied with mugwort, steamed in a steamer, and then brushed with cooking oil. They immediately take on a beautiful dark red luster.
The eight crab dishes had already been neatly arranged in front of the guests, fully demonstrating the seriousness and love of Shanghai people in eating hairy crabs.
If you want a stronger sense of ceremony, you can heat up a pot of Shikumen old wine.
Luo Yang didn't care about the danger at this time, he just wanted to satisfy his appetite first.
As soon as he started, he found that he was only slightly better than Zhu Bajie at eating ginseng fruit. Even though he used scissors and a small ear spoon, after eating a whole hairy crab, the plate was full of broken shells.
Looking at Liang Yuxin opposite, she had only eaten half a crab, and the half crab shell was neatly laid out on the toast plate.
If you eat it this way, you will be able to display a complete empty-shell crab later.
What a toss up.
Can you marry a woman like this?
After wiping his hands with a wet towel and taking a sip of rice wine from the cup to remove the fishy smell, Luo Yang did not rush to eat the male crab, but stopped and waited.
Not long after, Liang Yuxin also finished eating a hairy crab.
She was not in a hurry to pick up the wine glass. She washed her hands in the basin on the side and dried them before looking at Luo Yang.
“Are the crabs here okay?”
"Yes, the crab meat has a sweet taste. It must be the authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crab."
"Know the goods!"
Liang Yuxin also raised her glass and took a few sips of rice wine to get rid of the fishy smell, then asked, "Why don't you get the crab card this year?"
"hiss"
Ask this first, then mention the Crab Card.
Even Luo Yang couldn't help but blushing slightly.
It turns out that Liang Yuxin knew last year that the raw materials behind Luo Yang's crab cards were not from Yangcheng Lake.
"If you can't get authentic Yangcheng Lake crabs, then don't do it."
"I followed your example and made a batch this year, but they were also made from Taihu crabs."
Liang Yuxin laughed: "After all, only a few people can tell the difference by eating it."
"Sister Yuxin, are you teasing me?"
"How could that be? I have always admired people with smart brains."
Seeing Luo Yang say this, Liang Yuxin quickly explained: "Because I have actually operated it myself, I found that your solution is the best solution. This is why I admire you."
It's too late to explain.
Luo Yang took this opportunity to keep a cold face and remain silent.
Liang Yuxin realized that she seemed to have gone too far in joking.
Come to think of it, Luo Yang had just helped her solve a difficult problem more than two hours ago. If it were to be measured in money, it would be more than hundreds of millions.
According to this contribution, Liang Yuxin would have to pay even if she brought 100 million empty cards.
Now they are teasing him about the Crab Card incident last year and even embarrassing him. It is really hard to understand.
"Are you really angry?"
Liang Yuxin leaned over and raised her head slightly to look at Luo Yang's expression.
"How dare I?"
That means being angry.
Liang Yuxin immediately stood up, walked around the small long table, and sat directly next to Luo Yang.
"Then I apologize!"
She moved closer and said softly, "I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me this time, okay?"
hiss.
She is already 27 or 28 years old, but she still acts like a little girl!
Luo Yang suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Just as he hesitated, his expression became tense.
Liang Yuxin's eyes were sharp, and she immediately came up to him and said, "Xiao Luo, I'll peel a crab for you to eat as an apology. Okay?"
The red warning light instantly screamed in Luo Yang's mind.
The risk factor is getting higher and higher.
"Men should eat big chunks of meat and drink big bowls of wine!"
Luo Yang acted awkwardly, but he deliberately picked up the cup and drank most of the rice wine in one gulp.
"Yes, yes, especially men who work in engineering, they need to be more generous."
Liang Yuxin was completely obedient at this moment, and even helped him make excuses; "Lao Liang eats like this at home, and he said it was a habit he developed on the construction site before."
Speaking of this, she immediately thought of something else.
"Did you lose your temper over the Pudong project last week?"
"Did the chairman tell you?"
As long as the topic turns to normal, Luo Yang is still willing to communicate with her.
"I went there a few days ago and gave Tao Qingbiao a heads-up."
Liang Yuxin flattered him: "Uncle Luo has always been a well-behaved person and never cheats when doing his work. No one in the project company has said anything bad about him. This Tao Qingbiao doesn't want to adapt to Jincheng's corporate culture and he just used his usual way to mess around right from the start."
Uncle Luo?
When did Party A call Party B like this?
Luo Yang immediately became alert.
"Forget it. After the chairman's coordination, Tao Qingbiao has also realized his mistake. Let's stop harping on it."
"Well, I didn't say it explicitly, I just gave him a knock."
Liang Yuxin nodded and said, "This matter was also my negligence. You don't appear in the company often, and there are always some blind people who think that Uncle Luo is easy to bully. This time I am also making my position clear. If anyone does this again, they will be fired directly!"
After thinking for a while, Luo Yang said, "After all, Jiang Fangjie has a certain responsibility for today's incident. There will be a meeting tomorrow. Fu Bin and Wei Chaoping will both attend. It's best not to argue about who is responsible at the meeting, which will affect unity." "Yes, it's still the beginning stage of the project. If there is a knot over this matter, who knows what will happen later."
Liang Yuxin said with emotion: "In addition to finalizing the solution you proposed at the meeting tomorrow, we will also discuss horizontal integration. In terms of management, we must pay special attention to this. Real estate development is originally a close-knit system. Once everyone does their own thing, it is easy to make mistakes like this that are ridiculous."
"Yes, the fold on the map is often the most deadly!"
Luo Yang smiled and said, "Besides, a house is not like other objects. Once it is built, it is difficult to make up for it."
“Cross-departmental review.”
Liang Yuxin wanted to get closer to Luo Yang, but when it came to business, she immediately forgot her original intention: "At the weekly joint meeting of each department, think about the standard implementation system you gave me before. Many things in it are not formal ideas, but the essence of summarizing based on experience!"
Last year, Luo Yang compiled a standardized management system for real estate companies and gave it to Liang Yuxin.
It just so happens that Liang Yuxin learned some knowledge systems at the Wharton School of Business. In her opinion, many meetings are unnecessary.
It not only wastes time but also does not help improve efficiency.
So for the set of things that Luo Yang brought out, she selectively picked out part of it to implement, and some of the "tedious" ones were put aside.
After listening to Liang Yuxin's self-examination, Luo Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
You have to know that the standardized management system he came up with was the result of the experience summarization of several real estate companies with a scale of hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars. Many of the rules and regulations summarized in it were learned after suffering losses and losing money.
Now that Liang Yuxin has encountered trouble, she thinks back on this set of standards and feels that she underestimated them.
Fortunately it's not too late.
The hairy crab is a fresh delicacy. After eating it, other dishes will basically taste like chewing wax.
So the dishes that came later were relatively simple.
A fish soup, two vegetables and a whole grain combination.
Dinner took an hour and a half, including half an hour eating crabs, forty minutes talking about work, and the remaining twenty minutes to deal with other things.
"It's still early, want to watch a movie with me?"
After leaving Guangju Building, Liang Yuxin suddenly suggested going to the movies.
"Are there any good movies recently?"
Showing up in Minhang this afternoon and using the excuse of attending classes as an excuse is clearly no longer tenable.
"Inception, starring Dicaprio and directed by Nolan."
Liang Yuxin said with some anticipation: "It is said to be an extremely brain-burning science fiction film. One of my classmates in the United States watched it three times and said that he still didn't fully understand it."
Apparently, this stunt triggered her desire to challenge her intelligence.
I happened to meet Luo Yang this afternoon, so I decided to do two things at the same time: challenge my IQ and watch a movie with Luo Yang.
Yes, the order is correct. It is not about watching a movie with Luo Yang and challenging his IQ at the same time.
This kind of woman is still in love.
Let’s talk!
Luo Yang was also vague about this film, as if he had never understood it in his previous life.
So he nodded and agreed.
In the end, I walked out of the cinema confused.
This movie really tests your IQ and logical thinking ability.
Liang Yuxin enthusiastically analyzed the six worlds shown in the movie: the real world, the first level of dreams, the second level of dreams, the third level of dreams, the fourth level of dreams, and the Lost Zone.
However, Luo Yang only saw four worlds, and he was unclear about the conditions for entering and exiting each world.
Not to mention the open ending given later, he even began to doubt whether the protagonist and his wife were in reality or a dream.
I can only try to speak less so as not to appear to be lacking in intelligence.
“There are still some details that I haven’t noticed.”
Liang Yuxin said with a look of regret: "Find some time this week and ask Gu Man to come out and watch it again. I think the whole plot will be clear to me."
Gu Man?
Luo Yang was stunned for a moment.
After watching "Inception", this woman is probably even more confused than me, right?
Forget it, let’s not meddle in other people’s business.
Also, never overestimate your IQ in the future.
Luo Yang warned himself.
The two chatted all the way to the parking lot.
"Sister Yuxin, drive slowly, I'm going back first!"
Not caring about the fact that he had drunk half a bottle of Shikumen, Luo Yang didn't even call for a designated driver and drove away directly.
Liang Yuxin: “.”
Are you unhappy with me?
It was not until only the taillights of the car were left that she realized what she had done that night.
We had already started to be ambiguous during dinner, but for some reason we ended up talking about work and I was fully engaged in it.
Then I finally got a chance to watch a movie, but I didn't watch the popcorn-style "Legend of the Condor Heroes", and missed the chance to hold hands with Xiao Luo in the dark.
Why did I go crazy and have to watch the brain-burning "Inception".
Now, until Luo Yang left, there was no progress between the two.
I had vowed to achieve a breakthrough in the relationship.
For a moment, Liang Yuxin stood beside the car in a daze.
Annoyed.
There will be another chapter later
Where did everyone’s monthly tickets at the beginning of the month go?
Can you please stop robbing and beg?
