Chapter 680: Dumplings Flood
According to yesterday's plan, I was going to take Jiang Nansun on a romantic date today to complete the unfinished process. Afterwards, I would tell her about the situation and work together to find a suitable solution to her family's problems.
But plans obviously don't keep pace with changes. Nansun replied that the place for ancestor worship is a bit far away, so she just finished her work and returned to the city, and there will be a reunion dinner at home in the evening.
What I hate most when I am alone is the holidays, especially the reunion dinner...
Just as I was thinking about it, Nan Nan called.
"Xiao An, what are you doing? Have you had lunch?"
"I just finished eating and was thinking about whether to call you, but I didn't expect you to call me first."
"That's what we call a telepathic connection. I miss you so much, too. How about I go to the Magic City to spend the holiday with you?"
"Don't make a fuss. I'll be with you during the New Year. You're pregnant now, so it's okay for you to stay with me. If you go out alone, I'll be worried."
"Hehe, I'm just kidding. I can't get past my parents. But I've already reminded Dou'er that she's going to make dumplings for you tonight."
"That's too much. Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you have the amulet."
"Oh, husband, I know I was wrong. I couldn't walk for several days last time."
Thinking of that scene, Chen An couldn't help but laugh.
"Baby, are you too bored at home lately and want to find something to do?"
"I'm just taking a shower now, and my mom has to accompany me and find something to do. There's no chance at all."
"It's not like there's nothing to do. I just happen to have something that's suitable for your current situation."
"Really? Come on, Xiao An, or I'll be bored to death."
Chen An told Nan Nan about the type of work a film critic does. He was bored at home every day anyway, and this could help him.
As expected, Nan Nan was very interested in this proposal. The two chatted for a while. Just as Chen An drove to the vicinity of the company, Wang Manni called again.
"Mr. Chen, are you in the company now?"
"It will be outside now, what's wrong Manny."
"I promised to treat you to a meal last time. I happened to be on the night shift today, so I made some dumplings of different flavors. I know there is such a custom in the north. Where are you? Can I send some to you?"
"Manny, are you at home now?"
"Just getting ready to go out."
"Well, I'll be there in about 40 minutes. I haven't had enough lunch yet."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Chen An was driving and had just arrived downstairs of Wang Manni's house when Hongdou called and asked him to go home early in the evening. She and Damai would make dumplings for him and asked him what kind of filling he wanted.
Just when I was breathing a sigh of relief, Guan Guan called again and said that there was a department team building in the evening and she would be home later to bring me a midnight snack. She asked what kind of dumplings I wanted to eat?
Shit, they are all in the same place? Just as this thought came to mind, Qin Qiao sent a message asking what his plans were for the evening.
What a plan, just take Qin Qiao back with you. If he orders another serving of dumplings, Chen An will feel like he has become the dumpling skin.
Chen An originally thought that since Wang Manni was from the south, she would not prepare too much. If the two of them could make a total of thirty dumplings, that would be enough. However, he obviously miscalculated.
It's not like she hasn't eaten together with Chen An before, so she naturally knows how much he eats. Therefore, Wang Manni prepared enough, with a total of four kinds of fillings, two meat and two vegetarian, and the portions were not small.
Seeing Wang Manni's expectant expression, Chen An could only bite the bullet and eat first as a sign of respect.
"How is it, Mr. Chen?"
"Yes, this corn and meat filling is my first time eating it, and it tastes really good."
"Try this, tomato and egg."
Chen An couldn't understand it. The southerners' understanding of dumpling fillings was simply outrageous. For example, Wang Manni's other vegetarian filling was strawberry? Was she serious? Was the meat not tasty anymore?
"After what happened last time, how do you feel about going to work these past two days, Manny?"
Speaking of this, Wang Manni couldn't help feeling a little depressed, but she didn't plan to say it out loud. Besides, she asked Chen An to come over today to talk about another thing. "Not bad. Without anyone deliberately targeting me, I feel a lot more relaxed. By the way, Mr. Chen, have you ever been on a cruise?"
"No, why are you asking this suddenly?"
"I just made a big order before. The company not only promoted me to sales manager, but also gave me the opportunity to take a European cruise. I have never had this experience before, so I want to give it a try."
Seeing Wang Manni's longing and expectant expression, Chen An thought for a moment and said, "Manni, if you had mentioned this to me before, I would have definitely suggested that you give up the cruise trip and apply to the headquarters for a training opportunity instead."
"But now, it's good to go out and relax. One can't always be tense."
Hearing this, Wang Manni suddenly realized that she had been thinking about relaxing and had not noticed that this in itself was an opportunity to show her ambition. Regardless of whether this application was successful or not, at least it would leave a good impression on the leader.
But what did Chen An mean by the second half of his sentence? She wanted to ask, but based on her understanding of Chen An, he wouldn't tell her even if she asked, so she was very curious and confused.
"Have you decided what time to leave?"
"The store is not busy during this period, and the cruise ship will not dock for another three days."
Chen Li has been following Wang Gang for some time and has taken some photos. Chen An plans to hand over the rest to the detective agency. Wang Manni is preparing to close the net, so she will naturally send someone to follow him in person, just in case...
"There are still many things to pay attention to on this kind of cruise ship. First of all, you need to activate the bank card permissions and exchange some currency in advance. Especially in terms of safety, there are many missing people on cruise ships every year, so you need to pay special attention to this aspect."
"Missing people, is there any personal danger?" Wang Manni asked nervously.
"What are you thinking? It's not what you think. But don't drink too much and don't get close to the railing near the deck when the wind and waves are strong, especially at night when there is no one around, because if you slip, no one will notice."
Wang Manni patted her chest and said coquettishly, "I was so scared. I thought we would run into bandits. I was just thinking about whether I should ask for protection."
"You don't have to worry about bandits, but you might run into perverts." Chen An spread his hands helplessly, "The company has a lot of things to do at the end of the year, so going out to sea for fun is not a bad choice."
Wang Manni was a little crazy. What was the intention of this man? He made her feel so awkward. If he liked her, she should just say it directly. But from the time they met until now, the way she addressed him remained the same.
But if I say I don’t like him, since he has helped me so many times, and the occasional conversations we have have always been very suggestive?
