Bai Ling was even more surprised. What merit or ability did He Yuzhu have to have the Secret Service personally come to replace the files?
This shows that He Yuzhu's affairs have caught the attention of the higher-ups in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and that He Yuzhu has enough secrets that cannot be known to others.
This also demonstrates He Yuzhu's importance; the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics could cover up his past experiences, a level of importance that even some high-ranking officials could not achieve.
If Bai Ling hadn't suddenly decided to check He Yuzhu's file today, she wouldn't have discovered it at all. After all, files produced by the Bureau of Secrecy are definitely not fake, and all the official seals on them are genuine.
Bai Ling quickly guessed that He Yuzhu's biggest problem was that he knew martial arts.
It's impossible that the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics replaced and covered for him because he had multiple mistresses outside.
The most likely explanation is that He Yuzhu is extremely skilled in martial arts, which is why the high-ranking leaders of the Security Bureau attach great importance to him. Otherwise, this matter simply doesn't make sense.
When I got back to my place last night, I was still a little annoyed.
Although she was divorced, Tian Zao, a close friend of many years, wanted to introduce her to He Yuzhu.
What's so great about a mere section chief?
They had already arrested countless high-ranking officials, and they were still thinking of investigating He Yuzhu to see what dirt he had on him!
Fortunately, he did not act rashly, otherwise He Yuzhu would have been able to use it against him.
Bai Ling's depression suddenly disappeared; Comrade He Yuzhu had successfully piqued her interest.
Perhaps being friends is the best choice.
When He Yuzhu came out of the courtyard, it was already past 11 o'clock. Suddenly, he had an idea and drove his car to the roadside outside the Cultural Palace.
After waiting for a while, a group of girls poured out of the Cultural Palace, and He Yuzhu spotted Lou Xiao'e among them.
Lou Xiao'e waved goodbye to her friend and then walked along the sidewalk toward the bus stop.
Suddenly, a Jeep parked next to him caught his attention, and he immediately recognized it as He Yuzhu's car.
She was secretly pleased. He Yuzhu was a good person; knowing she didn't have a car, he came to pick her up early at noon.
He opened the passenger door, got in, and said, "You really came to pick me up!"
"Of course, I'll treat you to lunch."
"You're being so kind?"
"Of course, I'll treat you to dessert, and then make you fat so you'll never get married."
Lou Xiao'e clenched her fist shyly and punched He Yuzhu's shoulder twice.
"You big bad guy, you still say you didn't have any designs on me?"
Lou Xiao'e snorted and said, "I'm not eating desserts anymore, so your plan is going to fall through."
He Yuzhu asked with a smile, "Really, you're not going to eat desserts anymore?"
Lou Xiao'e nodded, then said angrily, "I've decided, I won't eat sweets anymore."
He Yuzhu saw how adorable she looked with her pouting lips and chubby cheeks, and continued to tease her:
"Actually, I prefer girls who are on the thinner side, with a shapely figure and a slender waist. That's the most beautiful."
Then she added, "You don't even have a waist anymore."
In fact, Lou Xiao'e is only slightly plump, not fat at all. I've hugged her before, and she does have a waist.
In the past two years, many people have lost weight and become skin and bones, with no flesh on their bodies. Looking around, the women on the street are all as thin as telephone poles, especially in the summer when it is particularly obvious.
Lou Xiao'e was furious. Although she liked to eat desserts, she hated it most when people said she was fat.
In particular, many people say they have no waist, so when they hear He Yuzhu say that...
She pulled her clothes back at the waist, making the loose coat tight and making her chest more prominent, revealing her S-shaped curves.
You're saying I'm fat? That I don't have a waist?
He Yuzhu said with some surprise, "There really is?"
After saying that, he reached out his hand, wanting to touch her, but Lou Xiao'e slapped He Yuzhu's hand back.
He yelled, "What are you doing? My waist is still my own, you're not allowed to touch it."
He Yuzhu wasn't angry and said, "Sooner or later it will all be mine."
"Hmph, absolutely not."
He Yuzhu had already started the car when he asked, "What would you like to eat?"
"Let's eat halal food, and we should eat less pork in the future."
He Yuzhu said, "Then let's go to Donglaishun?"
Lou Xiao'e nodded, and that was the decision.
Donglaishun is also a time-honored restaurant, dating back to 1903.
A Hui Muslim named Ding Deshan set up a stall in Dong'an Market selling mutton noodles and buckwheat cakes. Later, he added cornbread and porridge to his menu.
As business flourished, they took the meaning of "everything goes smoothly from JD.com" and officially hung up the signboard "Donglaishun Congee Stall".
In 1941, stir-fried mutton and stir-fried vegetables were added, and the restaurant was renamed Donglaishun Mutton Restaurant.
Ding Deshan managed to poach a renowned chef from his old rival, Zhengyanglou Restaurant outside Qianmen, with a high salary. This allowed Donglaishun's mutton to be served on a blue-and-white porcelain plate after the cervix was removed, with the patterns on the plate faintly visible through the slices of meat.
By the 1930s and 40s, Donglaishun's hot pot mutton had become famous in Beijing.
Later, when they opened a pickle shop, they processed and produced all the necessary ingredients in their own workshop.
In 42, its competitor Zhengyanglou went bankrupt, and from then on, Donglaishun became the leading restaurant in the eastern part of the city.
Soon He Yuzhu arrived at the Donglaishun Restaurant in his Jeep. The area in front of the restaurant was already full of bicycles and cars, so He Yuzhu had to park his car a little further away.
Stepping inside, you're greeted by a bustling, noisy atmosphere. The air is thick with the aroma and steam of hot pot, enveloping the entire room in warmth.
Around the tables, servers bustled about, placing fresh ingredients one by one into the boiling pot. The ingredients tumbled and simmered, making delightful sounds. Various sauces were laid out on the tables, allowing guests to choose freely according to their tastes, creating a truly pleasant atmosphere.
In this lively atmosphere, people enjoy delicious food and chat about everyday life. Laughter, clinking glasses, and conversation blend together, creating a harmonious ambiance. Every corner of the hot pot restaurant is filled with the warmth of everyday life, making people feel cozy.
Squeezing through the bustling lobby, He Yuzhu arrived at the counter. Fortunately, there were still private rooms available, so he ordered one directly.
He Yuzhu only ordered one serving of mutton hotpot before handing the menu to Lou Xiao'e and asking, "What do you like to eat?"
After Lou Xiao'e took the order, she ordered some vegetables, so He Yuzhu had to add some meat as well.
Lou Xiao'e shouted, "You eat the meat, I'll eat the vegetables."
He Yuzhu said, "Really, you don't need to lose weight for me, I'm fine as I am."
"You still dare to say that?" Lou Xiao'e said angrily, which only made He Yuzhu want to tease her even more.
"Would you like to order a 'Honey-like' dish? I heard that Donglaishun makes it especially delicious."
Lou Xiao'e snorted and said, "No."
"What a pity, what a pity."
He Yuzhu said, "How about we have Shun hot pot today and try something else in a couple of days?"
Lou Xiao'e asked with some surprise, "Do you have a lot of free time?"
"I'm just a deputy, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. What's more important than having dinner with you?"
Lou Xiao'e's face lit up with joy, but she quickly recovered and said, "Stop trying to fool me, you're married and have children now."
A moment later, the hot pot and side dishes were served. I must say, the chef's knife skills were really excellent. The lamb slices were so thin that you could see the blue pigment underneath.
After He Yuzhu persuaded Lou Xiao'e to eat the first slice of mutton, she stopped insisting on eating only vegetables and ate more than half of the mutton slice.
After finishing the meal, she said embarrassedly, "It's all your fault for persuading me to eat so much meat."
"You're blaming me now?"
"It's all your fault." Lou Xiao'e became unreasonable, thinking about how she would get fat in the future.
He Yuzhu and she exchanged a few words, and after drinking tea, the two left Donglaishun.
After starting the jeep, He Yuzhu asked her, "Where are you going this afternoon?"
"Take me home."
After saying that, Lou Xiao'e felt something was amiss and said, "Just take me to the station at the foot of the mountain."
He Yuzhu nodded, drove out of the city, passed the station, went up the hillside, and arrived at the fork in the road from that morning.
After the engine was turned off, Lou Xiao'e shouted, "You big scoundrel, I knew you would come here."
He Yuzhu moved from the driver's seat to the passenger seat, and Lou Xiao'e sat on his knees, facing him.
"Brother Zhu, don't move around, or I'll never talk to you again."
"I didn't move around!"
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him, then shyly reached down to carefully conceal the dagger that was already drawn before sitting down.
He Yuzhu said somewhat awkwardly, "This is a natural phenomenon, something I can't control. It just means you're very attractive."
"do not talk."
Lou Xiao'e, sitting like this, was actually a bit taller than He Yuzhu. She lowered her head and gave him a sweet kiss.
At first, He Yuzhu was quite obedient, only holding his waist on both sides, and then he moved his hands up and put them inside his clothes.
