294: A delicious lunch
"We can go back to Headquarters together, but as for eating, we won't accompany you two," Niu De said with a smile. "We don't want to be a third wheel."
"What are you talking about? You've been a third wheel all morning, do you still care about the time we spend eating?" Liu Xiaolin rolled his eyes and said, "The two of us will be at Headquarters these two days, so you'll have to keep being a third wheel, understand? You must eat together."
"Alright, alright, if you don't mind, we certainly don't mind," Zhang Weichen replied with a smile.
The several people walked out of the great bear, walked through the long passage, passed rows of maintenance equipment and tall gantry cranes, and arrived in front of the pink loves gift no. 1.
"Let's go, get in the car, I'll take you back," Liu Xiaolin called out.
"No need, no need, really no need, we have to drive our own car back," Niu De waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Also, I'm really not used to sitting in a car with such a girlish color."
"Exactly, let's just take our own black car back. We'll lead the way in front, and you just follow behind," Niu De said as he got into the car and drove off.
Liu Xiaolin and Hong Tongtong followed behind and quickly returned to Headquarters.
They parked the car directly below the cafeteria building and then went upstairs to eat.
It was just half past eleven at the moment, and also because it was the weekend, there weren't many people dining.
"I'm so hungry I could eat a whole cow," Hong Tongtong said while picking up a tray and getting food.
"Alright, then I'll watch you eat a whole cow, haha," Liu Xiaolin also picked up a tray and got his own food.
Niu De and Zhang Weichen had never had the experience of coming to eat this early, so they were a little unaccustomed to seeing so few people dining in the cafeteria.
"There are really few people at this time. I'm used to the crowded scene in the cafeteria, and I feel like that's when the food tastes good," Zhang Weichen chewed on the braised pork and felt it wasn't as fragrant as usual.
"You probably just like the feeling of scrambling for food, haha," Kayaski said.
Kayaski and Ivanov had gotten used to Dragon Country's food during these past few months in Dragon Country, especially liking sweet and sour pork ribs and roasted chicken.
Their Great Bear Country was originally a country where meat was the main food, so after coming here, they still liked to eat meat.
"Anyway, I think the food in our cafeteria is all very delicious. I can eat it with relish whenever I come," Ivanov said while eating.
"What are you two planning to do this afternoon?" Niu De asked.
"This afternoon, I plan to go see our wanderer one," Liu Xiaolin said. "By the way, is the live broadcast of our wanderer one still on?"
It was normal for Liu Xiaolin not to know if the live broadcast was still on, as he hadn't paid attention to the situation here for a long time.
"Of course it is. As long as it's an idea you proposed, everyone has no reason to stop it casually," Niu De said with a smile. "Moreover, our second Xingji Travel Group was still live-streamed, and everyone knows me now, and they even gave me a nickname called 'Dashen'."
"Ah? They actually gave you a nickname? Haha! 'Dashen'? Hmm, a well-deserved nickname. The netizens are too talented," Liu Xiaolin said with uncontrollable joy.
"Isn't that right? At that time, they were very disappointed when they saw that the leader wasn't you, and some netizens even planned not to watch the live broadcast. But they couldn't resist and still watched, and only then did they realize that Engineer Niu was the chief engineer of wanderer one, so they immediately changed their tune and called Engineer Niu 'Dashen', haha," Zhang Weichen said with a smile. "You didn't see it at the time, as long as Engineer Niu appeared on the screen, the whole screen was filled with the words 'Dashen'."
"Our netizens are too cute," Niu De said very proudly. "Being praised by them makes me feel a little light-headed, haha."
"I can see now, you've stolen all my fans," Liu Xiaolin pretended to be jealous.
"Come on, they are still your die-hard fans," Zhang Weichen said. "Every day during the live broadcast, someone will keep asking, 'When is General Manager Liu coming back?'"
"That's right, the netizens all say that General Manager Liu is their eternal god," Niu De said. "I'm just Dashen, you are the eternal god. Understand?"
"Haha, it seems my fans haven't rebelled," Liu Xiaolin said with satisfaction.
Hong Tongtong listened to them chatting while eating her meal heartily, not interrupting the conversation at all.
"I can see that our Hong Tongtong is really hungry. Look at her, she's only focused on eating and not talking," Niu De said with a smile. "I heard you're preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam? Do you want me to recommend a supervisor to you?"
"Forget it, I already have a goal," Hong Tongtong said after taking a bite of a chicken leg. "I want to get into Longguo University and become Professor Wei Junyi's student."
"Ah? You actually plan to specialize in mathematics? What a pity, what a pity, I was planning to find you a doctoral supervisor in physics," Niu De said regretfully. "I thought you would like physics as much as I do."
"I like physics too, but after working with Professor Wei for two months, I felt I liked mathematics more, so I decided to become Professor Wei's student," Hong Tongtong had almost finished eating and finally had the energy to say a lot of words.
"Alright, if you want to study physics when you're pursuing your doctorate in the future, remember to find me," Niu De said with a smile.
"No problem!" Hong Tongtong agreed readily after putting the last grain of rice from the tray into her mouth.
"Full? Let's go back to the dorm first and put away the luggage," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, watching Hong Tongtong finish lunch.
"Okay, let's go back to the dorm first," Hong Tongtong said to the others. "You guys do whatever you need to do this afternoon, don't worry about us. I'll just have Xiaolin take me around."
"Alright, anyway, this is your home ground, so do whatever you want. I have a lot of data waiting to be analyzed this afternoon, so I won't follow you around and be a third wheel," Niu De said.
"I have even less time to accompany you. The maintenance tasks on the great bear are waiting for me," Zhang Weichen said. "If you don't have anywhere to go sightseeing, you can apply to visit the 'Yingfeng' shipwreck."
"Ah? Has the 'Yingfeng' shipwreck not been dealt with yet?" Liu Xiaolin said in surprise.
"How could it be dealt with so quickly? Those are all priceless antiques. Not to mention anything else, even the cargo inside are antiques," Zhang Weichen said. "It will take at least three to two years to finish dealing with it."
"Exactly, maybe the great bear has gone home, but the 'Yingfeng' shipwreck is still docked at our temporary pier," Niu De said.
"Alright, this Yingfeng shipwreck is quite worth seeing. I must take Tongtong to take a look," Liu Xiaolin said. "Can we still get on the ship if we find Director Mao now?"
"What Director Mao? He's Deputy Minister Mao now!" Niu De said with a smile. "His words carry more weight now. With one phone call, you can go take a look around."
