July 6st, near noon.
Shi Lei, Li Kunning, and the others went out and prepared to choose a hotpot restaurant to have a family dinner. Among the seven people, other than Shi Lei who was half an outsider, the other six were all family.
Downstairs, Li Hao tactfully brought his parents, Li Kunxi and Qian Fangfang, into the Santana he drove over. Obviously, he did not want to disturb Shi Lei.
Shi Lei took the initiative to open the front passenger seat of the Porsche Cayenne and asked Li Kunning, "Dean Li, which hotpot restaurant do you want to eat?"
Li Kunning sat in the front passenger seat. Shi Lei opened the back door and gestured for Li Zhiyue to bring Huang Fen in. He went around the back of the car to the driver's seat. After starting the car, he did not immediately depart. Instead, he waited for Li Kunning to say which hotpot restaurant to eat.
"Shi Lei, recommend a good hotpot restaurant!" Li Kunning pushed the question to Shi Lei.
Shi Lei thought for a while and did not immediately make a decision. Li Kunning invited him over for a meal. If Shi Lei made the decision, although Li Kunning did not show any displeasure on the surface, he would definitely feel unhappy in his heart.
"Dean Li, in the back street of our Shuangqing University, there is a hotpot restaurant that tastes good. In Cui Hu, the boiling hotpot is also good. Take a look, which one is better? "Shi Lei mentioned two hotpot restaurants for Li Kunning to choose.
"Are you talking about the hotpot restaurant in the back street? That hotpot restaurant tastes good! "As a professor of Shuangqing University, how could Li Kunning not be familiar with the back street?
"Then how about we go to the hotpot restaurant in the back street?" Shi Lei asked.
Li Kunning shook his head, "Forget it! Today is Sunday. Everyone is on holiday. At this time, the hotpot restaurant will definitely be full of customers. Even if we go there, there will be no seats. We will have to queue for at least an hour. "
"Dean Li, I believe that the owner of the hotpot restaurant will know that you are going there. They will definitely have seats!" Shi Lei flattered.
Li Kunning obviously did not know too much about Shi Lei. At the same time, because he was promoted to Vice Dean, he could not help but feel proud. He asked in a cute manner, "Really?"
"Shi Lei!" Li Zhiyue couldn't stand Shi Lei fooling her father. She snorted and said, "Let's go to the Earth Fire Hot Pot. You can settle the location yourself!"
As soon as Li Kunning heard Li Zhiyue's words, he knew that there was something hidden. Thinking back to how he really thought that the boss of the Earth Fire Hot Pot Restaurant would give him face or something, he couldn't help but blush.
Shi Lei pretended to be serious and said, "Zhiyue, what I said is true! If you don't believe me, you'll find out soon enough! "
"Humph!" Li Zhiyue snorted and ignored Shi Lei. She was sure that Shi Lei was lying!
Shi Lei stopped joking around. He started the Porsche Cayenne and drove to the back street. Li Hao followed behind in the Santana. During the driving process, Shi Lei's fingers seemed to be tapping on the steering wheel casually. In fact, he was sending a message to Izur.
Shi Lei had secretly modified the Porsche Cayenne to install a camera and a network connection module. It could connect to the Internet and Izur anytime and anywhere.
Shi Lei got in touch with Ge Dahu through Izur. Ge Dahu's Black Tiger Gang was the biggest underground force in Shuanghu District. Which restaurant in the back street did not give face to the Black Tiger Gang?
Booking a spot for the Earth Fire Hot Pot Restaurant through Ge Dahu was definitely a piece of cake!
Shi Lei instructed Ge Dahu in detail on how to operate it so that he could maximize Li Kunning's reputation. Li Kunning, in his current state, was more concerned about his reputation. Shi Lei had to cater to his liking.
The back street was not far from Shuanghu University's living quarters. About five minutes later, the white Porsche Cayenne and the black Santana stopped at the side of the back street.
After everyone got out of the car, they walked towards the Earth Fire Hot Pot Restaurant. Just as Li Kunning had predicted, the Earth Fire Hot Pot Restaurant was overcrowded. There were still many people waiting under the shade outside.
Shi Lei led everyone directly into the Earth Fire Hot Pot Restaurant. Just as they walked through the door, a middle-aged man came up to them. He first glanced at Shi Lei and nodded slightly. Then, he looked at Li Kunning.
"Eh, Professor Li?" The middle-aged man pretended to recognize Li Kunning.
Li Kunning looked at the middle-aged man and frowned. It seemed that he could not remember who this middle-aged man was. The middle-aged man took the initiative to help him out. "Professor Li, I'm Huang Qiugui, Huang Qiugui! Last year, we played chess together in school! "
"Oh, oh, oh, so it's Old Huang!" Li Kunning laughed. The man introduced himself as Huang Qiugui. Li Kunning could not really call him Huang Qiugui, right? After all, Huang Qiugui and Li Kunning looked about the same age.
As for what Huang Qiugui said about playing chess together, Li Kunning really liked to play chess in school. However, there were so many people who had played chess with Li Kunning. Li Kunning could not remember all of them, but he could not say that he did not know them, right?
Therefore, Li Kunning could only pretend to know Huang Qiugui.
"Professor Li, are you here for the hot pot?" Huang Qiugui asked a question with an obvious answer. If he came to the hot pot restaurant but did not eat the hot pot, did he want to ruin the place?
Li Kunning nodded and looked helpless. "It seems that there are no seats!"
"Come, come, come, Professor Li. There's still a seat here! This seat was originally reserved for others, but since Professor Li is here, I have to give you some face! "Huang Qiugui greeted Li Kunning warmly and motioned for him to follow him.
As Huang Qiugui greeted him, he said, "Professor Li, you have to leave your phone number later. Next time, I'll ask you to play chess!"
Li Kunning looked at Huang Qiugui strangely. "Old Huang, the seat reserved for others, you …"
"Don't worry! Professor Li, this hot pot restaurant is run by me, so I have the right to do that! "Huang Qiugui said confidently.
Li Kunning then asked everyone to follow Huang Qiugui to an empty table at the edge.
Li Zhiyue deliberately stayed behind to give Shi Lei a look. Shi Lei understood and came to Li Zhiyue's side. Li Zhiyue asked in a low voice, "You made it?"
Shi Lei did not answer, but just nodded.
"What you're doing is giving my dad a lot of face! Although my dad didn't say anything on the surface, he must be very satisfied, "Li Zhiyue continued in a low voice.
How could Shi Lei not know Li Kunning's character?
The guests and the host enjoyed the hot pot. During the meal, although Shi Lei had to drive and could not drink, Huang Qiugui came over from time to time and toasted Li Kunning. Li Kunning, who was not a good drinker, drank to his heart's content.
After the meal, Huang Qiugui even took the initiative to say that Professor Li's visit was an honor for the Earthly Fire Hot Pot. No matter what, he had to give Li Kunning a big discount. He only charged Li Kunning half price and even promised to give Li Kunning a 05% discount in the future. This gave Li Kunning a great deal of face, causing Li Kunning to smile.
"Old Huang, this is my business card. You can come here to play chess anytime in the future! I have a lot of good tea leaves! "Li Kunning's face was red. Obviously, he was in a drunken state and showed off his tea leaves.
Huang Qiugui took a look at the business card and said in a low voice, "Professor Li, no, Director Li! Congratulations, I haven't seen you for a year and you've been promoted to director! "
Li Kunning, who had been called Professor Li by Huang Qiugui for the whole afternoon, did not feel good at all. Until this moment, he could finally give Huang Qiugui his business card and let Huang Qiugui know that he was the deputy director. After being called "Director Li" by Huang Qiugui, Li Kunning immediately felt good!
After Shi Lei sent Li Kunning and his family back, he did not stay. It was not that Shi Lei did not want to stay, but he received a notification from Izur.
Izur sent a notification that the R&D base in the Yellow Triangle area was about to start construction. However, before construction began, there was a big problem waiting for Shi Lei to solve.
He drove the Porsche Cayenne back to Jingya Court. Li Chai was already in Room 758, waiting for him. Li Chai had the permission to enter. Although Shi Lei was not at home, Izur still allowed Li Chai to enter the room.
"Stone Head, you're finally back!" Li Chai sat on the sofa, drinking iced Coke and watching the movie on the projector.
Shi Lei took out a can of Coke from the fridge and sat next to Li Chai. He took a big gulp to moisten his dry throat and asked, "Xiao Li, what's the problem in the Yellow Triangle area?"
Li Chai gestured for Izur to turn off the movie on the projector and show the construction information of the Yellow Triangle area. After Izur showed the construction information of the Yellow Triangle area, Li Chai pointed at the image on the projector and explained, "Stone Head, the construction of the R&D base in the Yellow Triangle area lacks large construction machinery. Without the participation of large construction machinery, our progress will be very slow! "
"Huh? What's the situation? Why aren't there any large construction machinery? "Shi Lei did not understand." Can't they be transported in from the outside? What kind of large construction machinery do we need? "
"Stone Head, you know that the situation in the Yellow Triangle area is very complicated. The construction companies that own large construction machinery are not willing to put large construction machinery into the Yellow Triangle area. After all, they are worried that the large construction machinery will not be able to leave once it enters! " Li Chai looked helpless. "We need large excavators, large bulldozers, large transport vehicles, and small tower cranes."
Shi Lei thought about it. The situation in the Yellow Triangle area was very complicated. It was understandable that the construction companies were not willing to send large construction machinery into the Yellow Triangle area.
Luckily, Shi Lei was not someone who lacked money!
Large construction machinery, buy it!
"Xiao Li, if we buy large construction machinery ourselves, is it worth it?" Shi Lei asked.
Li Chai's eyes lit up. "Of course it's worth it! If we can buy large construction machinery ourselves, it's definitely worth it! "
"Oh? Tell me about it! "Shi Lei asked.
