Xia Jian, lying in the gentle countryside, had sweet dreams.

He slept so deeply that it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when he opened his eyes. Boss Lin beside him had long since disappeared. He hurriedly got dressed and was about to go out.

Boss Lin opened the door and walked in. She smiled slightly and said, "Don't leave. How about you lie down for a while and I'll make you a bowl of noodles? If not, let's stew the leg of lamb."

"Thank you! I have to go out and take a look," Xia Jian said, and quickly walked out of Boss Lin's office.

The sun hung in the sky, shining brightly, and the snow on the ground turned into water, flowing like a river. Xia Jian quickly went upstairs and knocked directly on Xizhen and Han Juan's door.

When the two women saw Xia Jian coming, Xi Zhen spoke first: "Mr.

"Okay! You go out to eat and bring some for me when you come back," Xia Jian said, then chuckled.

Han Juan glanced at Xia Jian and said: "Judging from the current situation, it seems that we are not well prepared. We should each prepare a pair of riding boots. I just saw someone wearing them when they went out."

"Yeah! Okay! This isn't a problem. Let's do this! Give 50,000 yuan of the money you won last night to Boss Lin. Remember, don't let others see it. Do you understand?" Xia Jian whispered.

Arrangements were made to Han Juan.

Han Juan nodded, took out the bag of money from under the pillow, counted 50,000 yuan, and took it downstairs. Xia Jian breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "This is what I did."

What’s going on!”

“Mr.

But, after all, Xia Jian is her boss, she can't have both big and small.

Xia Jian glanced at Xizhen, smiled slightly and said, "I almost turned on the lights when I went to bed last night, so you went to find me. I don't know at all. It's nothing to ask."

"Liar! There is no smoke from the chimney in your room at all, which means your fire is sealed. How can you sleep without turning on the stove on such a cold day?" Xi Zhen said with a smile. Her smile was a bit weird.

Excellent. Xia Jian was speechless for a moment to refute. Just when he was feeling embarrassed, Han Juan pushed open the work door and walked in.

She held three pairs of rain in her hand, threw them on the ground and said, "Boss Lin lent them to us and asked us to give them to her after we went out to eat." Han Juan said and glanced at Xia Jian.

Xia Jian pretended not to understand what he was doing. He chuckled and said, "That's great. Let's go out for a good meal now. We'll eat stewed lamb legs and drink white wine."

When the two women heard this, they were very happy and they hurriedly put on their rain boots. Han Juan gave Xia Jian 20,000 yuan from the money under her pillow, and then she also put 20,000 yuan into her pocket and put the rest into her pocket.

Gave it to Xizhen.

Xi Zhen stuffed money into her bag and said with a smile: "Other people's money is used less and less, but our family's money is used more and more. It seems that it is not wrong to follow Mr. Xia." The three of them were joking.

Then, he walked out of the door of the small hotel.

The snow on the road outside was flowing like a stream. There were almost no pedestrians on the road, let alone vehicles. The three of them walked straight into the street. They wanted to find a larger hotel.

Have a meal.

About in the middle of the street, there was a restaurant that welcomed customers. It looked quite impressive from the facade. Xia Jian hesitated for a moment, then walked in with Xizhen and Han Juan.

The store was deserted, with several waiters in white clothes huddled together to warm up the fire. A middle-aged man who looked like a boss glanced at Xia Jian, then walked over and asked, "Are you eating?"

"Yes! Is there a private room? Let's have some drinks," Xia Jian said, raising his head and looking around.

The middle-aged man chuckled and said: "There are private rooms upstairs, but there are no good dishes now. The cars are not running due to the heavy snow."

"It's okay, as long as you have meat," Xia Jian said with a smile.

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face lit up. He smiled and said, "There is plenty of meat, including beef and mutton. It depends on what kind of meat you like to eat. We will cook it for you right now."

"Stew a leg of lamb, then have a plate of spiced beef, and two bottles of white wine. Just serve two of whatever dishes are available!" Xia Jian said casually without looking at the menu.

The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Okay, please go upstairs and I'll arrange for someone to do it for you right away."

It was a small house with basically no novel decorations inside. The big iron stove next to the door was a bit attractive. Xia Jian opened the stove door as soon as he entered. The fire immediately burst out. After a while, the house

There was warmth.

The middle-aged man took two bottles of white wine. The name of the wine was that Xia Jian and the others had never heard of it, but when they saw the alcohol content on it, they all saw it was over 60 degrees, which was exactly what Xia Jian and the others needed.

A plate of spicy potato cubes, then a plate of home-style tofu stewed with cabbage, and ordinary king-flavored beef. This is already very appetizing. Xi Zhen didn't wait for Xia Jian to say anything, and started eating. Such dishes,

Normally, they would have picked it up, but now it was served and it turned out to be delicious.

The three of them poured white wine and ate and drank. They felt that they had never eaten such delicious food. After a few dishes, they had already reached the bottom of the plate. Xi Zhen wanted to serve more.

A plate of potato cubes, but Xia Jian shook his head and said: "The leg of lamb will be ready soon. It will be very good if we can finish it in three days."

So the three of them started playing liquor. Instead of playing guessing games, they drank one cup after another. Anyway, they couldn't leave today and had to go back to sleep at night.

When less than half of the two bottles of white wine were left, the stewed leg of lamb was finally brought up. When the three of them saw it, they all started to take action. Xia Jian took a bite and praised him repeatedly, "The lamb in this restaurant is really good."

.

A leg of lamb was prepared in a large bowl, and the three of them ate it with all their heart. However, after finishing the wine, there was still more than half of the bowl of meat. Xi Zhen laughed and said, "Brother Xia! Why don't we go back together? There is a stove anyway."

, as long as we borrow the proprietress’s basin, won’t our dinner be in order?”

"Yeah! That's a good idea. Ask the waiter to pack it up, pay the bill and go back. We'll leave at noon tomorrow."

It was no longer possible. She was speechless and the color of her face had changed a lot.

After paying the bill, Han Juan walked in front with her packed bags. When Xia Jian saw Xi Zhen's appearance, he walked behind to help her. At four or five o'clock, pedestrians began to appear on the street. It turned out that there was a lot of traffic on the ground.

The water had frozen and it was extremely slippery to walk on with rain boots.

Suddenly, four burly men walked towards him. Xia Jian saw that it was Li Sanqiang and the others. They were really enemies of each other, and he could run into these people wherever he went.

"Oh! Boss Xia, you're taking a beautiful woman shopping on the street! You are really elegant. If you have a good time tonight, I don't believe that your luck will be amazing." Li Sanqiang walked to Xia Jian and lowered his voice.

Xia Jian chuckled and said: "Thank you for giving in. No matter how lucky you are, you will still lose money in the end."

"Hahahaha! I love hearing this, because it's not over yet between us. Only at the end of the game will we know who lost the money." Li Sanqiang said, and couldn't help laughing, but there was something in his smile.

With a hint of bitterness.

Back at the hotel, Xia Jian followed Han Juan to her room to change her shoes, and then prepared to go back to her room for another good night's sleep. People who drink wine like to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Xizhen grabbed Xia Jian's arm and said, "Don't go back. Our room is so warm and the bed is big. Just lie down on it! We won't eat you anyway."

When Xia Jian heard this, he realized that this woman had really drunk too much. He was a little embarrassed and said to Han Juan: "Hurry up and help her to the bed. Don't let her run around."

"It's okay, Mr. Xia! It doesn't matter if you just lie down on the bed. You don't have to pay so much attention when you go out." When Han Juan said this, she looked serious.

Xia Jian hesitated and said, "It's better to go back to your room! If you need anything, you can call. Don't be afraid of spending money." In order not to embarrass himself, Xia Jian found something to say.

Han Juan laughed and said: "It seems that Mr. Xia really didn't look carefully. There is no signal at all in this place. But I have to remind you. You can't gamble again tonight, no matter what the purpose is."

Tomorrow around 11 o'clock, when the ice on the road melts, we must get to HS City before it freezes at night."

"Yeah! I think so too. I'm afraid it won't be a good night for you two. I'll go find Boss Lin later to find out about the situation in Melans Town." After Xia Jian finished speaking, he opened the door to the room.

After going downstairs, Xizhen's drunken words could be heard from behind.

In Boss Lin's office, three women dressed a bit coquettishly were playing cards. Xia Jian glanced at them, said nothing, and went directly into the inner room. These people regarded Xia Jian as a transparent person, and no one took care of him at all.

, no one even looked at it, which surprised Xia Jian.

Pushing open the secret door, Xia Jian walked in. He saw Boss Lin lying half on the bed, with her lower body still wrapped in a quilt. Her upper body was only wearing a thin sweater, and because it was tight, her chest was prominent.

It's a bit exaggerated.

"Lock the door and come up! I've been waiting for you for a long time," Boss Lin said with a sweet smile.

When Xia Jian heard this, he locked the door with his backhand, and then asked with a smile: "How did you know that I was coming to find you?"

"Hmph! You're going to the small town of Melans. I'm afraid you can't do it without asking!" Boss Lin sat up straight and stretched out his hand to pull Xia Jian into her warm bed.

Xia Jian put his arms around Boss Lin and said softly: "Now that you know everything, give me a brief introduction to the situation in Melans Town!"

"No problem, but how do you thank me?" Boss Lin smiled coquettishly, and his body twisted in the bed like a water snake.
