To middle age

"Yes, see you later." I promised.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I rushed over to the vegetable market and bought a lot of dishes. I have already figured it out clearly. I will show my cooking skills tonight and make an authentic Anhui cuisine. Among them, the braised local chicken in Hui Province is more. It's the most important thing. In addition, for wine, since Qu Xiangqian prefers to drink Magic City God Wine, then buy two better bottles of God God Wine.

The car was parked in the parking lot outside the Qujie community, and I hurried over with my briefcase and vegetables.

After all, Qu Xiangqian is the leader. My Bentley is not very good when parked near his parking space. It will invite people to gossip, so I simply parked outside the community to avoid some messy things.

When I came to Qu Jie's house, I met Qu Jie and Zhou Xiang.

"Haha, Brother Chen, did you come directly after get off work?" Zhou Xiang smiled.

"Yes, Brother Chen, take off your suit first. This smells of oily smoke after cooking, which may not be good." Qu Jie also smiled.

"Well, let you try my craft tonight." I laughed.

"I said Brother Chen, I'm really looking forward to it. In other words, we really haven't tasted your craftsmanship. My house is small, so you will just go there. When I buy a house behind me, please come and cook." Qu Jie Smiled.

"When you have a new house in the future, do you ask me to cook?" I grinned.

"No, no, it's a guest, a guest." Qu Jie hurriedly smiled.

"Hahahaha, it's a new house. Didn't your dad say that he will consider refurbishing you when he has a partner, otherwise you won't want to move out." Zhou Xiang laughed.

When I walked into the kitchen, I started to get busy.

As time passed slowly, seven dishes and one soup were all on the table, and at this moment, Qu Jie's mother and Qu Xiangqian went home.

"Oh, Xiao Chen, you cooked today. Auntie doesn't need to buy vegetables to cook anymore!"

"I said that you friends should be like this. This is too wasteful to eat out, and it is more economical to eat at home." Qu Xiangqian put down his briefcase and also said.

"Uncle, you should like this wine?" I took out a bottle of finely packed fairy wine.

"Hahahaha, as long as it is this brand, I like it. I'm not used to drinking Maotai Wuliangye or anything else, but this wine is more grounded." Qu Xiangqian laughed.

Soon, we sat at a table and started eating and drinking.

"Dad, this table of dishes is made by Chen Nan. He said that he must let you eat his hometown dishes. This is Anhui cuisine!" Qu Jie said.

"The famous braised chicken in Anhui cuisine. I have to try it. Is there any chili in this?" Qu Xiangqian asked.

"Slightly spicy, just a little bit spicy." I grinned.

Hearing what I said, Qu Xiangqian hurriedly poured wine, then picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and I looked at Qu Xiangqian expectantly.

It didn't take long.

"It's delicious, I really miss it. Back then, how many of us served as soldiers in Hui Province. At that time, it was rare for the cooking class to cook. This braised local chicken had two pieces for each talent. At that time, two pieces of meat should be saved. Eat it with rice, how can you eat it in large chunks now, and the whole chicken will come up." Qu Xiangqian smiled.

"Uncle, have you also been a soldier?" I wondered.

"Of course, our magic capital serves as a soldier. There are three places, one is Jiangsu Province, the other is Zhejiang Province, and the last is Hui Province. Hui Province had the largest number of troops at the beginning, and our magic capital was arranged to Hui Province. Fifty percent, I joined the army at that time." Qu Qianqian smiled.

"Oh oh." My face appeared in a daze.

"Come on, drink!" Qu Xiangqian hurriedly picked up the wine glass.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing? Why is the water in the glass still boiled?" Qu Jie said hurriedly.

"Xiao Chen, straighten it up?" Qu looked forward to me.

"Good!" I nodded and agreed.

Soon, we started to eat, and Qu Jie’s mother praised her while she was eating, saying that if Qu Jie went home and could take the initiative to cook, then she would be relieved a lot. The problem was that Qu Jie basically didn’t She does all the housework, so Qu Jie must find a woman who is diligent and willing to take on housework in the future.

The topic was just like that, and I sighed slightly as I watched Qu Xiangqian smile.

"Xiao Chen, what are you talking about?" Qu looked forward to me.

"Uncle, I was thinking, how could it be so difficult for some welfare for the people," I said.

"For the welfare of the people?" Qu Xiangqian frowned.

"Brother Chen, are you talking about Chuangyao's project?" Qu Jie looked at me.

Following my words, Zhou Xiang also looked at me. At this moment, Qu Jie and her mother had already eaten and went to collect clothes and tidy up, while we were still chatting.

"Recently, there was a project of affordable housing. Our company submitted a construction plan, and we reviewed it after the first round of preliminary review. Because of this project, we have been working overtime and staring at it, so the preliminary review was not done here. The designers and engineers of sigh, I am not in a good mood." I smiled bitterly.

"Hahahaha, Xiao Chen, you are still young. There are a dozen or even dozens of powerful companies undertaking the construction of this municipal project through public bidding, and the preliminary review is actually a big wave. How can it be so easy to enter? In the final review, don’t be discouraged if this fails. Besides, for a company as big as Chuangyao, is this project the worst? This project of affordable housing is actually quite tasteless for the enterprise. In addition to the reputation, the money is made. Not many, and capital investment, the return will be relatively slow. Many local companies, because they feel that they are too weak, rarely accept them, and the ones that really want to accept are either large group companies or they intend to increase the company’s business background. This municipal project has a good reputation.

"Yes, Brother Chen, why do you care about these? There are no projects that can be won 100%." ​​Qu Jie also said.

"That's right, but if the project is to benefit the people, then I still hope it can be won. Zhou Xiang, you and Qu Jie may not know that the construction plan, project drawings and planning we made are all quoted It's very reasonable, and even in order to win this project, Chuangyao is willing to make money or not." I said.

"Ah? Really so good?" Qu Jie asked in surprise.

"Brother Chen, you are not going to talk about the project tonight. Uncle doesn't supervise the affairs of this affordable housing. He is busy with official duties. That is the affairs of the Municipal Housing Management Bureau and the development. If you want to find it, you need Secretary Li, and Secretary Li is very avoiding suspicion. He only reads the contract, not what your background is." Zhou Xiang laughed.

Zhou Xiang and Qu Jie are very familiar, so Zhou Xiang probably knows many leaders in the city.

"Xiao Zhou, your uncle, I rarely intervene in the housing management bureau and the development side, but it doesn’t matter, it’s not right. They finally reported it to me. I just didn’t pay attention to the process step by step.” Qu Xiang After talking about this, he looked at me: "Xiao Chen, if I remember correctly, the preliminary review results have been released. You have already ended this project. You have no hope for this project. is that useful?"

"I know it's useless, but I'm just not reconciled." I smiled awkwardly, and then continued: "Sorry, I've drunk too much, and I'm a bit out of line."
