"Tell me about your situation. Why didn't he join the army after graduating from the National Defense University? Why did you think of becoming a security guard?" Jia Xixi spoke first. Pan Xiao did not hide anything about Jia Xixi's question and told them honestly.
"I graduated last year to join the army, but I know that First-grade Restaurant has an annual competition. My sister participated in it a few years ago, so I want to participate too. She was recommended by Uncle Jia back then. This year, I just want to give it a try and see if I can have the chance to participate in this competition. Actually, I don't know who else is the referee, but I think Uncle Jia should know other referees, so I found them. At first, I couldn't see Uncle Jia, so I stayed behind to be a security guard. After working for half a year, I had the chance to meet Uncle Jia. I volunteered to participate in the competition. Uncle Jia asked someone to test my skills and agreed.”Pan Xiao had just graduated a year ago, and she was not as slick and experienced as a professional. Her words were very convincing.
However, what Pan Xiao did not say was that her sister did participate in the competition a few years ago, but she disappeared not long after. Pan Xiao's family was not good. Her parents were farmers, and her sister was five years older than her. Therefore, when she was in her first year of university, her sister never came home again. There was no phone call or news. She had a good relationship with her sister. During the New Year, her sister said that she would participate in a competition on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year at A City's First-grade Restaurant. After receiving the 500,000 yuan from her sister, she never heard from her again. Pan Xiao investigated openly and secretly for two years before she found out what was going on with the competition at First-grade Restaurant. This money should be the prize money her sister had won during the competition.
No matter what, his sister disappeared after the competition. Did it have nothing to do with the competition? Therefore, in order to find out the truth, Pan Xiao gave up the opportunity to enter the army and came to A City to work as a security guard in Jia Yu's neighborhood. Initially, Uncle Jia knew that his sister had participated in the competition and did not want Pan Xiao to participate as well. After all, Pan Xiao was not short of money now, and Jia Yu also knew why she was here. Jia Yu told him frankly that after his sister received the prize money for the competition, she did not look for him again. He asked Pan Xiao if she still wanted to participate, and Pan Xiao chose to participate without hesitation.
"Your sister participated in the competition a few years ago. You're also participating in the competition now. Since my father recommended you, you should be quite capable. Is there anything I can help you with?”Seeing that Pan Xiao was alone, Jia Xixi asked.
"No need to help. I want to go home during the new year and come back to A City before the fourth day of the new year. Uncle Jia said that he won't be going to the competition on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. You'll bring me to First-grade Restaurant that day, so I want to add your number.”Jia Xixi readily agreed. Ouyang Xue silently observed Pan Xiao and found that she did not seem to be lying, so she did not pay attention to her.
In fact, Ouyang Xue had participated in the recommendation once. Who was her sister? Ouyang Xue might have seen him during the competition on the sixth day of the lunar new year. She probably went with Wu Jianling a few years ago. Things had changed. If he went alone this year, he didn't know if his parents would go.
It was a place where the rich gathered once a year. Ouyang Xue didn't know why it was at First-grade Restaurant. She only found out about this competition when she started working and her parents brought her there. Ouyang Xue asked her curiously, but her father only smiled and didn't say anything. He only told Ouyang Xue that First-grade Restaurant was very powerful. On the sixth day of the lunar new year, she could place bets and make friends. He didn't say anything else.
After participating in the competition for a few years, Ouyang Xue felt that this competition was actually a betting game. It was also a reshuffle in the circle of nobles. For example, you might have met an entrepreneur two years ago, but if you didn't see him the next year, it meant that his company had encountered a serious economic crisis and was no longer in the circle. This should be a proof of identity. For example, the referees were the best among them. Their status was unquestionable. Generally, the referees were not the same every year. As for how the referees were selected, or how the referees were recognized by First-grade Restaurant, Ouyang Xue did not know.
What was even more unbelievable was that the person who recommended him did not know if he was the one who recommended him this year. First-grade Restaurant only released a notice two months before the new year. Only after receiving the notice did they know that he was the person who recommended them this year. Only then would they be able to find the contestants within a month. If the person they recommended won, the person who recommended them would also receive a certain amount of compensation. Money was not a big deal. What was important was that as long as the contestant who recommended them twice was the champion of the group competition. Ouyang Xue had heard from her father that the First-grade Restaurant would give out a token. The person she recommended last time had only managed to reach the third stage and was defeated. Therefore, it was really difficult for the person she recommended to be the champion twice in a row.
After Pan Xiao and Jia Xixi finished talking, she left the Jia family home and returned to the security room. She was now living in a dormitory arranged by the company. It was called a dormitory, but it was actually a single room in the basement. Other than the poor lighting, Pan Xiao felt that everything else was fine. She had been living here for almost a year, and she had never given up training. She had learned martial arts and grappling at the National Defense University, but because Pan Xiao had not been training since she was young, she had put in several times more effort than others. In order to participate in the competition in the future, Pan Xiao gritted her teeth and persevered. Therefore, she should still be able to take part in the ordinary competition. As for whether there were clues about her sister, she could only leave it to fate.
Soldiers were not allowed to participate in this competition, so Pan Xiao did not join the army. She came to A City after getting her graduation certificate. She did not want her sister to regret it. If she did not come, she would never be able to forgive herself. Pan Xiao knew that her sister had participated in the competition in the past for the tuition fees of the university. She gave her 500,000 yuan so that she could live in school without worries and not have to work to earn tuition fees. However, her sister's disappearance made Pan Xiao feel that she was the one who caused her sister to disappear. Therefore, she came to City A without hesitation. Even if there was still no news of her sister after the competition ended, Pan Xiao gave up.
When First-grade Restaurant received the registration list, someone noticed Pan Xiao. Because Pan Xiao looked quite similar to her sister, the manager of First-grade Restaurant could tell and specially pulled out her information. He didn't expect her to be a top student who graduated from the National Defense University. She was participating in the women's group competition. Interesting, very interesting. Her sister had come to participate in the competition a few years ago, and her sister was also participating in the competition now. She wondered if she could fight as well as her sister. Yang Ying was extremely curious.
Yang Ying was the manager of First-grade Restaurant. He was the one who reviewed the list of contestants for the competition. He was also in charge of the operations on the first floor. He was also the one who arranged and prepared the competition area on the second floor. He had only taken up the position of manager after 10 years in First-grade Restaurant. It was also because of Yang Ying's unique vision that he was already a high-ranking member of First-grade Restaurant before he was 40 years old. He was a rare talent. He was slick, he always had a smile on his face, and he could kill decisively. In First-grade Restaurant, his words carried a lot of weight.
There seemed to be a few powerful characters participating in the competition this year. He wondered how fierce the competition would be on the sixth day of the lunar new year. Would First-grade Restaurant, the big banker, gain both fame and fortune? Yang Ying looked at the 100 sets of materials and carefully selected a few. He placed them in a folder and left the office for the third floor.
A few days later, Xiao Yuan was also on holiday. On the night of New Year's Eve, Xiao Yuan and Qin Fei had an appointment to have dinner together. However, Qin Fei called at noon and said that she had something urgent to attend to and could not have dinner with Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan smiled and said," If you have something to do, go ahead. I won't go to the training ground today. I'll go to the training ground tomorrow." See you on the sixth day. Don't worry about me. Happy New Year.”Or was he celebrating the New Year alone? Wasn't he already used to being alone during the New Year's Eve dinner? After hanging up Qin Fei's phone call, Xiao Yuan had nothing to stay at home for, so he went out to find something to sacrifice his internal organs.
Ouyang Xue's family was busy early in the morning. The nanny went home for the New Year, so Lan Qing did all the grocery shopping. Ouyang Jing was also helping out. Ouyang Xue was sticking couplets, hanging lanterns, and window grilles. Originally, Ouyang Jing said that he did not need her help, but she wanted to do it herself. Ouyang Jing could only compromise. Fortunately, there was a pole to hang the lantern, so he did not have to worry about anything. The window wasn't high either. When she sat on the chair, Ouyang Jing could support her by the side, so it wasn't a big problem. She didn't even need to worry about the couplet. It was very heartwarming for the family of three to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner together.
Li Haiya was also celebrating the festival alone this year. Last year, she had Fang Wei with her, but this year, she seemed a little lonely. Li Haiya had wanted to invite Xiao Yuan over to celebrate the new year, but Xiao Yuan said that he was going back to his hometown for the new year, so he didn't want to disturb her. He just sent her a message to wish her a happy new year. After waking up in the morning, Li Haiya went to the market alone to buy vegetables. Because it was the eve of the Lunar New Year, there were many people in the market in the morning. The hawkers who sold vegetables would also close their stalls and go home after noon to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Therefore, Li Haiya spent a few days buying vegetables such as potatoes, radishes, onions, and taro.。。。。。
As long as the vegetables wouldn't go bad after a few days, Li Haiya bought some. Since it was New Year's Eve, Li Haiya planned to make sweet and sour pork ribs, cola chicken wings, braised fish, and vegetable soup. Even if she couldn't finish it all, she had to cook. Her mother had said that there should be at least three dishes and one soup during the New Year. Therefore, even after her mother passed away, Li Haiya would still cook three dishes and one soup every year. This habit had to be carried out even if she was alone.
