all is meant to be

Early the next morning, Mu Ruiming received a WeChat message from Lingyang: "I asked my financial advisor to recommend some of the latest financial products to me. Foreign privately-made financial products are relatively mature. I hope it will be helpful to you." To help is to translate it into Chinese by yourself.”

When Mu Ruiming arrived at the company, he carefully read several product documents sent to him by Lingyang, and quickly completed the general framework according to the model, and initially set the company's required capital contribution, loan share, annualized interest, and investor expectations. rate of return and the company's expected rate of return, etc.Then, a simple feasibility analysis was carried out from the aspects of economy, policy, technology, model, and human resources, and finally the thing that Xue Hong assigned to him was completed in a rough shape.

When getting off work, Lingyang sent another WeChat message: "How is it done?"

"Well, it's almost there, you helped me a lot, thank you so much!" Mu Ruiming replied

"Accompany me to a nearby ancient town for two days on the weekend!" Ling Yang

"Well, okay! Then I will drive to the hotel to pick you up tomorrow." Mu Ruiming

After agreeing to Lingyang, Mu Ruiming thought to himself: Go back to work overtime at night, make things more complete, and then go out to play with Lingyang.When he came back, he slapped things on Xue Hong's desk and was ready to go to the risk control department.

At ten o'clock on Saturday morning, Mu Ruiming drove to the hotel to pick up Lingyang and set off for the ancient town.When he saw Nie Kai and Mo Yan, he was surprised: "Mo Yan, why are you here?"

"Well, that, Brother Rui Ming, yes, yes..." Mo Yan blushed nervously and stammered again

"He went with me. Xiaoyan said that he hadn't gone out to play much before he was studying here. Lingyang told me that you were going to play in the ancient town on weekends, so I took Xiaoyan together. You drive a car. I rented a car to follow you, when you get there you play your game, we play ours, don't bother each other..." Nie Kaila said to Mo Yan

"...Here, Mo Yan, does your sister know?" Mu Ruiming asked

"Well, I told my sister that I went out with my classmates for two days..." Mo Yan lowered his head and did not dare to look at Mu Ruiming

"...you..." Mu Ruiming didn't know what to say

Lingyang smiled, opened the car door, got on the passenger seat and said to Mu Ruiming, "Let's go."

The ancient town is about 2 hours' drive away from Z City, and they just drove there to have lunch.In the car, Mu Ruiming couldn't help asking, "Did you already know?"

"Actually, it's not much earlier than you. During this period of time, Nie Kai always runs to your leisure bar at night. I guessed it, but I'm not as surprised as you." Lingyang said with a smile

"I thought he was interested in Mo Xin...but Nie Kai didn't seem like someone who would be serious about his relationship. I was worried that Mo Yan would suffer...he is a very innocent child , I don't want him to be sad..." Mu Ruiming expressed his worries

"Actually, Nie Kai is a very emotional person. You can see that he looks sloppy on the outside, but he will never play with other people's feelings. He has been hurt emotionally and dare not show his sincerity easily. I see these few days Every day he always runs to your leisure bar, thinking that maybe he really likes Mo Yan, and besides, Mo Yan is willing to come out with him, so let them go..."

At noon, Mu Ruiming and his party arrived at the ancient town. They planned to check in first and then go to lunch.The place where he lived was a very distinctive Linshui homestay, which Mu Ruiming asked his adoptive mother to find someone to book last night.In the golden autumn season and weekends, the good hotels and homestays in the ancient town are almost booked early.

Since Nie Kai and Mo Yan joined on a temporary basis, Mu Ruiming didn't book a room for them, and now they will book it when they arrive temporarily, and the homestay they stayed in has no vacancies.Fortunately, the boss knew that Mu Ruiming and the others were introduced by acquaintances, so he helped Nie Kai and Mo Yan to contact another B&B in the ancient town with a good environment and vacancies.

So Nie Kai, Mo Yan and Mu Ruiming Lingyang separated and played their own games.

Mu Ruiming's B&B was built in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasty academies in an ancient town. The exterior is antique, but the interior decoration of the rooms is very modern, but the mahogany furniture still reveals a little cultural heritage.His two rooms are on the fifth floor. They are two single suites facing the water. From the window of the room, you can see the main river and most of the buildings in the ancient town.

After putting down their things and tidying up for a while, Mu Ruiming and Lingyang went out to find a place for lunch.

This is a typical ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River with a history of more than 1300 years.The cross-shaped inland water system divides the ancient town into four blocks, the southeast, the north, and the west. The resources of the east and west gates have been well developed, while the north and south gates have not been fully developed. Most of the scenic spots, accommodation and catering are mainly concentrated in the east and west gates.

Compared with Xizha, Dongzha in the ancient town has more life atmosphere, and you can better experience the tranquil life of people in the water town.There will be some folk performances during the day.

Although Xizha does not have the bustling market of Dongzha, it is more like an open museum, suitable for strolling slowly, especially the night view, which is especially charming when you take a scull.

When studying, Mu Ruiming came to the ancient town once with his adoptive mother to discuss business and entertain clients, but it has been a long time and the ancient town has changed a lot, so he can only use the app to find special restaurants and snacks.

Mu Ruiming found a Chinese restaurant with a high rating. The restaurant was quite big and the business was good, so he entered the box on the top floor twice.The dishes are ordered by Mu Ruiming, and they are all local dishes of the ancient town: pickled white water fish, Shuishi river fresh stew, black wine veal, emerald fish ball soup, drunken river prawns, stinky tofu shrimp skin and seasonal vegetables.

After the dishes were served, it was supposed to be the first meal for the two of them alone, and the atmosphere should be good, but Ling Yang was confused by the two dishes ordered by Mu Ruiming, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward and humorous.

"Lingyang, try this one. This one is called Drunken Shrimp. It's made of fresh river prawns. I like it!"

Seeing Mu Ruiming excitedly recommending this dish, Lingyang turned to the front and opened the lid. Just as he was about to stretch out his chopsticks, he found that the legs of a few shrimps were still wobbling!Those shrimp are alive...or not dead yet!A faint mixed smell of vinegar and wine entered Lingyang's nose.

"The prawns are still moving, do you just eat them like this..." Ling Yang didn't know how to set his chopsticks.

"That's right, it's raw, you can try it." Mu Ruiming looked at Lingyang expectantly.

Lingyang picked up a prawn that had no response in his chopsticks, but when he just put it into his mouth and wanted to bite off the prawn body, the prawn suddenly snapped like a death-struggle, so frightened that Lingyang almost lost his chopsticks.

Mu Ruiming couldn't help holding back his laughter and said, "How about it, does the shrimp taste very sweet?"

Lingyang felt that Mu Ruiming was a little suspicious of watching him react to jokes on purpose, but the shrimp meat was really sweet in his mouth, with a slight aroma of wine, and the taste was really good, so he carefully found another one that looked absolutely perfect. Shrimp that will not respond are put in the mouth and bitten off.

Seeing that Lingyang accepted, Mu Ruiming smiled and showed two dimples: "It tastes good, haha!"

"Well, it's quite delicious... Eat more if you like it." After speaking, he turned the drunken shrimp to Mu Ruiming.

I saw Mu Ruiming cover the lid of the container holding the shrimps, and smiled wickedly at himself: "I'm timid, I like to eat but I'm afraid they will move, so put the lid on and keep stuffy for a while, and wait until they're all dead. Eat, otherwise it is easy to be surprised and frightened when eating..."

Lingyang: "..."

If the dish of Drunken Shrimp is just superficially scary to Lingyang, but the taste is really good, then this next dish is really unacceptable to Lingyang anyway.

Lingyang didn't expect Mu Ruiming to like this kind of dark cuisine to him.

When the stinky tofu shrimp skins were served, Lingyang felt that the whole box was filled with an indescribable smell, and he felt that Mu Ruiming's taste was too strong.

"Do you like this?" Lingyang looked at the stinky tofu shrimp skin with disgust.

"Well, this is also a specialty here. Generally, it is not cooked well at home. It smells a bit weird, but it is really super delicious. Every time I eat this, I can eat two bowls of rice! There is also steamed double odor, which is also here features!"

Seeing the stinky tofu shrimp skin turning towards him, Lingyang frowned. He really couldn't understand the custom of eating stinky tofu, and he really didn't intend to try it.

Looking at Lingyang as if he really didn't want to try it, Mu Ruiming turned the disgusting bowl of strong food back to him, looked at Lingyang with regretful eyes and said, "You will regret it if you don't try it. !” Then he really finished off two bowls of rice with stinky tofu and shrimp skin!

Lingyang looked at Mu Ruiming's seductive eating, and said in his heart: NEVER!
