Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

Although Xu Damao was shrewd and calculating, Xiao Zhang had done him a great favor after all.

"That won't do, Master Xu, let's just go to a small restaurant to eat."

Xu Damao persisted.

"That won't do. I say Fengzeyuan, so it's Fengzeyuan."

Xu Damao spoke with absolute certainty, and Zhang Hongmin had no choice but to comply.

……

Li Jianjun bought a new outfit and wore it to work that very day, which undoubtedly caused quite a stir at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

If a man suddenly starts to care about dressing up, it's almost certainly because he has someone he likes.

Walking through the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, listening to everyone greet him, and seeing the shy and timid looks from the young women and wives, Li Jianjun felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

I hope I can get a date with the two sisters tonight.

The Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill where Li Jianjun worked was just across the street from the asbestos mill where Shang Yunzhi worked.

During his lunch break, Li Jianjun went to the factory where Shang Yunzhi worked, found him, and expressed his desire to ask out his sister.

"You're inviting two at once?"

Shang Yunzhi found it incredible.

"Oh right? Is there a problem? I don't know either of them very well. Let me get to know them better and see which one is more suitable."

There is something wrong with what you said.

Shang Yunzhi couldn't refuse.

Chapter 197 First Date with the Twins

"Okay, I'll talk to them when I get home and see if they're free today."

Shang Jingjing and Shang Yingying are currently unemployed and have been staying at home since graduating from high school.

One can imagine how much economic pressure Shang Yunzhi was under.

Not only does she have to take care of her own family of four, but also her two younger sisters and parents. The main problem is that her father is paralyzed and needs a constant stream of money to buy medicine.

With Shang Yunzhi agreeing, Li Jianjun felt even more relieved.

"Then let's go to six o'clock tonight, I'll come to your house to pick them up."

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Shang Yunzhi directly declined.

"Then no need. Just tell me the location, and I'll have them wait in advance."

At 6 p.m., Li Jianjun arrived at the designated location and indeed met the two sisters.

Seeing his first love's face again, Li Jianjun felt a surge of emotions, but on the surface he remained calm.

The moment Jingjing saw Li Jianjun, she smiled and greeted him.

As the older sister, she is very possessive.

The younger sister, Yingying, pouted, clearly unconvinced.

"Brother Jianjun, you've finally arrived."

"We've been waiting here for almost an hour."

The girl's unrestrained words also made Li Jianjun feel the warmth of the two sisters.

If they weren't extremely satisfied with him, they wouldn't have waited here for an hour.

"I'm sorry, we don't get off work until 5:30. I came right after I finished work."

"Let's go, I'll take you to Fengzeyuan for dinner."

The two sisters wore expressions of disbelief.

"Fengzeyuan, that's a big restaurant. Jianjun, are you sure you want to treat us to dinner there?"

When you ask a girl out to dinner for the first time, you should definitely go to a high-end place so she doesn't look down on you.

This is based on Li Jianjun's experience.

If you're satisfied with the woman after a blind date and take her to a street food stall, she'll think you look down on her.

Li Jianjun wasn't particularly offended by Jingjing and Yingying's reactions.

These two girls have pretty good values, and their manners were further demonstrated when they ordered food at Fengzeyuan.

The two of them each ordered one dish, both of which were light vegetarian dishes.

Since it was their first date, Li Jianjun didn't choose a private room, but instead opted for the lobby.

This will give the two girls a sense of security.

"Just eating vegetarian dishes won't do. You two are too thin now and need to eat more."

As Li Jianjun spoke, he casually picked up the menu and ordered two meat dishes: braised pork and chicken stew with mushrooms, both of which were dishes they both liked.

Of course, Li Jianjun did his homework beforehand, learning about the two sisters' preferences.

Because of long-term family hardship, the two of them hadn't eaten such good meat dishes in a long time.

But given their good upbringing, the two girls ate slowly, bit by bit, with their chopsticks.

...

Outside Fengzeyuan, Xu Damao led Zhang Hongmin inside.

Once you arrive at the lobby, you need to get a seat number first, and then you can order your food.

Xu Damao took a sign, looked at the back, and saw it was number sixty-six.

"Fengzeyuan Restaurant is doing really well."

Fengzeyuan is a renowned Chinese time-honored restaurant, known for its light yet flavorful, rich and not greasy taste.

Fengzeyuan's signature dishes include Bird's Nest Soup, Shark Fin Soup, Stir-fried Sea Cucumber with Scallions, and Braised Turtle Eggs.

The great man's favorite food was turtle egg soup.

It is said that the chefs at Fengzeyuan Restaurant even hosted private banquets for national leaders.

Moreover, in the 1950s and 60s, Fengzeyuan was also the most upscale hotel for receiving foreign guests.

We can only invite people to dinner here; normally, we can only do so in the lobby.

When national leaders host banquets for foreign guests, there are basically no outsiders at Fengzeyuan.

For ordinary people, being able to have a meal at Fengzeyuan Restaurant is something to brag about for a long time.

As the old saying goes.

"Wear Neiliansheng shoes, eat at Fengzeyuan restaurants."

This title wasn't given for nothing.

This was Zhang Hongmin's first time visiting Fengzeyuan. Looking around, he felt like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

Xu Damao looked around and immediately spotted Li Jianjun not far from him.

Two stunningly beautiful girls sat next to Li Jianjun. Although their clothes were rather worn, their natural beauty was undeniable.

These two girls were so beautiful that Xu Damao was practically drooling over them.

What incredible luck Li Jianjun had to have dinner with two such beautiful girls!

With looks like that, it's simply breathtaking.

It's no exaggeration to say that Xu Damao took a liking to the two girls the moment he saw them.

The two looked exactly alike, each more beautiful than the other.

"Master Xu, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Hongmin looked in the direction of his gaze and saw Li Jianjun.

He was also an employee of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and knew Li Jianjun.

"Isn't this Li Jianjun, the head of the security department? There are two twin girls sitting next to him."

"It seems that one of them must be his girlfriend."

From their perspective, Li Jianjun and the two girls were chatting and laughing, and seemed to have a close relationship.

Zhang Hongmin knew Li Jianjun, but that was only because he knew him; Li Jianjun had no recollection of him whatsoever.

The thought of Li Jianjun dating such a beautiful girl made Xu Damao's mouth water with envy.

"Just wait, once I become a film projectionist again, I'll definitely win over these two girls."

Xu Damao had reason to believe that with his silver tongue and his past experience, it was only a matter of time before he won them over.

"A moment of patience brings peace." Before officially returning to work or receiving a promotion, Xu Damao chose to keep a low profile.

After glancing at Li Jianjun, he looked away and started ordering food with Zhang Hongmin.

...

Happiness came suddenly. The next day, Xu Damao was notified that he had become a film projectionist again.

He handed over the tools to the newcomer, and that was how he became a film projectionist again.

He returned to his old office and touched the familiar tape. The Xu Damao who used to clean the toilets was gone forever.

Sitting at his desk, Xu Damao pondered his future path.

The current director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was transferred from elsewhere, and it is said that he has a close relationship with Director Li.

This Director Li is a money-grubbing man. Xu Damao's house still has two goldfish that Lou Xiao'e left behind, including two large yellow ones.

In order to get promoted quickly and to build a good relationship with the new factory manager, Xu Damao decided to give Director Li a gift.

Just do it.

The next day, Xu Damao, who had planned this all along, brought over a large yellow croaker and covered it with old newspapers.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary object.
