Chapter 1268 The Pigs
Chapter 1268 The Pigs
"GuluGulu~"
Sky, who was already starving, had his stomach rumbling loudly. His eyes lit up as he looked at the various snacks on the table, and he swallowed hard, his mouth watering.
Even though the other mercenaries weren't particularly hungry, the aroma of various foods made them somewhat tempted to eat.
"Come on," Tang Tang said without any hesitation. She didn't wait for anyone and reached out to grab a giant, skewered squid as big as her face.
The incredibly plump squid was slit in one piece after another, grilled until slightly charred on both sides, seasoned with a very complex sauce, the aroma of which filled the air, and topped with crushed peanuts, chopped green onions, and small red chilies.
It looked absolutely delicious. Tang Tang took a bite, and the squid meat was thick and meaty, with no fishy smell at all. It had the unique flavor of squid, which blended perfectly with the sauce.
"Ouch!! Why are you eating already?!"
Upon seeing this, Sky let out a howl and rushed to Tang Tang in a few steps. Then, he reached out and grabbed a giant squid just like Tang Tang's and started eating it.
"Mmm, mmm, not good."
Tang Tang had said before that Sky was a bit like a lively little leopard, with a touch of wildness and aloof cuteness.
Leopards are felines, right? Tang Tang watched him eat while making little noises, and thought it was like the cat had come to life.
Although Sky looked somewhat fierce while eating, it has to be said that it was very appetizing.
Land looked at the face that was almost identical to his own, now covered in food like a cat... But even Tang Tang didn't eat giant squid with much elegance.
After all, this thing is really big. Without using your hands or a knife and fork, unless you can open your mouth like a snake, you'll always get sauce on your cheeks.
However, Tang Tang was quite careful with her nibbling, so Sky, who was letting loose, seemed a bit...emmm.
Land seems to really like Bo Bo Chicken; in fact, the vegetables in Bo Bo Chicken with red oil taste much better than the meat.
The lotus root slices and potato slices are very crisp, and the dried bamboo shoots are crunchy. The enoki mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms and other fungi absorb the soup very well, and of course, the bean products such as dried bean curd sticks and dried orchids absorb the soup even more.
At this point, you can see that Land is also quite cute.
He stood in front of the stalls selling spicy Sichuan-style chicken, and like someone with OCD, he picked up one skewer after another.
It's very regular; if you didn't know better, you'd think you were playing some kind of match-3 game.
King seems to prefer milder flavors; there was also boiled seafood next to the spicy seafood, but King didn't touch the spicy ones.
He seemed to be quite health-conscious, because Tang Tang saw King quietly pour himself a glass of milk.
Wow.
Tang Tang smiled as she met King's gaze, her face full of a mischievous grin that seemed to say, "So King actually likes to drink milk!"
But King calmly looked back at Tang Tang, and then raised his milk glass to her from a distance.
Wow, why do all these people seem so cute tonight?
Tang Tang silently took a sip of her orange juice and continued to secretly observe the others.
W is someone who really enjoys trying new flavors; he took a little of everything, seemingly intending to sample all the food.
For some reason, an emoji suddenly popped into Tang Tang's mind.
Hmm, what's this? Let me try some!
However, this guy doesn't eat cilantro, and Tang Tang has seen him quietly picking out cilantro to take out several times.
Ok, Ok.
Tang Tang silently agreed with W: Cilantro is the devil's vegetable in this world! (Sound of a cilantro)
Tang Tang can only accept cilantro in stir-fries, but she will pick it out; she won't eat it.
After looking at W, Tang Tang turned her gaze to Ghost.
Well, Ghost is really obvious at a glance. This guy is a pure carnivore. I feel like his bite force is very strong for some reason.
Watching these humanoid weapons eat, she felt a surge of pride, like a large pig farmer watching his piglets grow strong. At this moment, Tang Tang was extremely proud.
Look! How well she's raising these pigs... no, I mean, these mercenaries!
One or two of them can eat, sleep, fight, and are quite pleasing to the eye. Not bad at all, this makes the zookeeper very happy.
Tonight, everyone was quiet. The delicious food, Tang Tang's smiling face, and the lively villa seemed to say it all.
This is a new home. With her here, even though they sometimes have disagreements, they maintain a warm balance.
This is a hard-won home, and no one wants to destroy it.
……
"Reginald was secretly taken to the hospital? And the media took pictures of it?"
Tang Tang chuckled, "Because he has a concussion and needs to go to the hospital."
If his toothless mouth could be managed by a family doctor, then a concussion really requires a visit to the hospital.
After all, his life is more important than saving face.
To be honest, it's normal to go to the hospital when you're sick, but the problem is that Reginald's illness wasn't a normal one.
What he suffered that night must never be made public, otherwise he would be ridiculed by everyone and soon abandoned by the board of directors.
Therefore, Reginald needs to do everything he can to save face and nip any rumors in the bud.
The question is, will the banquet still take place? You see, Reginald has made thorough preparations for this banquet.
All the venue setup staff have been hired, and invitations have been sent out to the invitees. Many of the invitees may have already adjusted their schedules for this banquet.
Reginald now has to make a choice.
Will you cancel the banquet due to illness, or insist on attending?
He also had to consider that if he canceled the banquet on the grounds of illness, people would definitely speculate about him...
What illness does he have? How serious is it that prevents him from attending banquets? Will it affect his health? Will it affect his normal work? As the head of Noah Pharmaceuticals, will it impact the company?
If it were before, and Tang Tang hadn't appeared, the situation would still be one of the three major companies standing side by side. So, it wouldn't matter if Reginald got sick, since the three companies were eyeing each other covetously, but none of them could touch the others.
The problem is, now Tang Tang has appeared.
The purpose of this banquet was to extend an invitation to Tang Tang by Reginald and other pharmaceutical companies; it was an invitation, a social event, and also an assessment and test.
Reginald's role as the host of the banquet also represented his prestige in gaining the upper hand among the three major pharmaceutical companies.
He cannot cancel the banquet, absolutely not.
Even theoretically, if he were diagnosed with cancer today, he would still have to appear at the banquet.
