When saying these words, Ding Ning felt a little uneasy. After all, they used to be soldiers, and he was afraid that participating in the game of underground forces would make them feel disgusted.
Unexpectedly, these soldiers did not care at all, and each of them patted their chests to guarantee that there would be no problem.
Ding Ning was a little puzzled at first, but after hearing the explanation of Gong Qiang and others, he understood that they had played the role of underworld figures because of carrying out tasks during their service.
In the underworld, there were also heroes who were loyal and courageous, and strictly kept their bottom line. Scenes of sad and sad stories of separation and reunion were staged. Compared with the intrigues and deceptions of those righteous people, these heroes who were quick to repay kindness and revenge were more in line with the temperament of these soldiers.
Of course, they believed in Ding Ning's character more, and believed that he would never do evil and harm the country and society.
This moved Ding Ning greatly, and he asked them why they trusted him so much. Were they not afraid that he treated them because he wanted to take advantage of them?
Xiaoniu said with a smile, and one sentence interpreted their thoughts. "With your medical skills, what kind of life can't you get? It's easy for you to find experts to follow you. There's no need to waste time and energy on disabled people like us who have no hope. Since you can cure us and tell us frankly that you want to participate in the game of the underground forces, you must have your own plans and reasons. This is also a kind of trust and honor for us. Since we've decided to follow you, we will naturally obey your orders. "
Ding Ning was stunned for a long time, and then he said seriously, "I, Ding Ning, swear here that I will never use you to do things against conscience and morality, otherwise …"
"Well, boss, we believe you. Don't swear or swear. You make it seem like we are heartless."
Lu Zhan, who was burly with a firm face and high prestige, interrupted Ding Ning's words with a smile, and took the lead to call him boss.
"Yes, in the future, we will work for you. As long as you don't dislike us, you will be our boss for a lifetime."
Gong Qiang also agreed with the title of boss with a smile.
"Boss! It feels much better than calling your name directly. "
"Yes, you are our benefactor. It is very disrespectful to call your name directly. Instructor, you have good manners."
"We want to call you Brother Ning, but you are younger than us. We feel uncomfortable calling you that, and you also feel uncomfortable listening to it. The title of boss is more appropriate."
"Anyway, we are all poor soldiers, and we have no money to pay for medical expenses. We can only pay the debt with our lives, boss, haha."
…
There were a total of nine soldiers. Their faces were brimming with sincere smiles, and they used a half-joking and half-serious tone to confirm the new title of boss.
Ding Ning was very embarrassed, but under everyone's insistence, he had to accept this form of address.
Ding Ning made an appointment to treat Cheng Hu tomorrow and declined their invitation to have a drink together. Then he rushed to Yipin Vegetarian House for supper according to the address sent by Mu Yanran.
The front of Yipin House was not big, but the space inside was not small. There were more than 20 tables in the hall alone. Although the main business was vegetarian, business was booming because of the excellent taste.
Even though it was already past nine o 'clock in the evening, the hall was still full, and there were still people waiting in line. Fortunately, Mu Yanran had already booked a seat. Ding Ning told the number of the box, and a waiter took him to the Yizhaoxian box.
The private room was not big. There was a round table with a diameter of one meter and four chairs. Next to it was a combination sofa. It looked very cozy.
"Sir, do you want to order now?"
Mu Yanran hadn't arrived yet, and the waiter asked Ding Ning with the menu.
Ding Ning took the delicately made menu with pictures and flipped through it. He asked in surprise, "Aren't all vegetarian dishes here? Why do you have chicken, duck, and fish? "
The waitress was in her early twenties. She was quite pretty and was willing to interact more with handsome men. She smiled and said proudly, "These dishes look like meat dishes, but they are all made of tofu. It's hard for customers to tell."
Ding Ning suddenly realized and sincerely praised, "No wonder your business is so good."
"Of course. Although our store is not big, there are many customers who come here because of our reputation. From 11 o 'clock at noon to 12 o' clock at night, there are basically people here."
The waitress became more and more proud.
Ding Ning smiled with interest and said, "Then you are not very tired."
"Don't be afraid of being tired. The better the business of Yipin Vegetarian House is, the higher the salary of our waitresses."
The waitress explained very seriously, "We not only get a basic salary, but also a corresponding commission according to the daily turnover. The better the business is, the more commission we get. Our boss said that this is performance pay."
"Your boss is quite business-minded."
Ding Ning secretly sighed that business management was really a big knowledge.
Linking turnover with commission not only strengthened cohesion but also made employees have a sense of ownership.
After all, the quality of the restaurant's business was closely related to the interests of each of them, which meant that they would be more enthusiastic and considerate in service. They strictly adhered to the idea that customers were God, so that there would be constant repeat customers and the business would get better and better. No wonder the business of Yipin Vegetarian House was so good.
This reminded Ding Ning of the small restaurant run by Sister Qiao in Luochuan Town. The business was also good, but the service attitude was far worse than that of Yipin Vegetarian House.
Sister Qiao's restaurant was just for fun. She didn't care whether she made money or not. It was more convenient for her to find a place for men like his father and master to eat.
Customers were God? What a joke. Sister Qiao didn't bother to serve those customers. Her service attitude was even worse, but those customers still flocked to her.
It couldn't be helped. The food cooked casually by Sister Qiao was delicious, which made people enjoy it so much that they forgot to go home.
Although he hadn't tasted the dishes of Yipin Vegetarian House, Ding Ning was sure that the cooking skills of the chefs here and Sister Qiao were definitely not at the same level.
This made him miss Sister Qiao's delicacies. Although he had already obtained 80% of Sister Qiao's culinary skills, his mind was not on it at all. He was still far from reaching the state where Sister Qiao said that he could focus on food and enter the Tao through food.
"You are here. Sorry, I am late."
Mu Yanran pushed the door and came in, saying apologetically.
"It doesn't matter. Being late has always been the privilege of beauties."
Ding Ning restrained his mind and stood up with a smile. He considerately took Mu Yanran's bag and hung it on the hanger next to him, and said flirtatiously.
The waitress looked at Mu Yanran's cold and holy temperament and her beautiful appearance, and suddenly felt ashamed.
She felt sad in her heart. She and this handsome guy were really a good match. Knowing herself, she put away the ambiguous idea with the handsome guy and said with a professional smile, "Beauty, this handsome guy will wait for you to come before he is willing to order. Look, what do you want to eat?"
Mu Yanran naturally took the menu and skillfully ordered a few dishes, "Seven-colored Neon, Dragon-roaming the World, Thousand-hand Guanyin, Nine-story Pagoda, um, and Nezha Making Trouble in the Sea!"
Ding Ning was stunned, "Are these the names of the dishes? Why do I feel that they are like myths and legends? "
"Haha, when I came here for the first time, I was also confused. Later, after eating a few times, I knew that Seven-colored Neon is actually a combination of seven colors of vegetables; Dragon-roaming the World is carved into a dragon with tofu, and a layer of special sauce is poured on it; Thousand-hand Guanyin is carved from potatoes, stewed with seasonings, and tastes very fragrant; Nine-story Pagoda is made of red taro, which is actually a red taro with the shape of a nine-story pagoda; Nezha Making Trouble in the Sea is a medicated diet made of tofu, lotus petals, lotus seeds, and more than a dozen other medicinal materials. The taste is absolutely amazing."
Mu Yanran explained patiently, and her beautiful eyes were full of smiles. She seemed to like to see Ding Ning's surprised look.
"Sister, you invited me to dinner with no meat at all, right? I am a carnivore. "
Ding Ning said with a bitter face.
"I like to eat vegetarian. Well, let's have a rooster crowing at dawn and a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Two meat dishes will do."
Mu Yanran smiled slyly.
"Wow, you really have a taste of meat."
Ding Ning liked Mu Yanran's mischievous side of a little girl very much. He deliberately pretended not to know and showed a drooling look.
The waiter knew that he was playing tricks, smiled implicitly, and turned away.
Sure enough, Mu Yanran did not know that she was tricked, and said proudly, "It is my treat. Of course, I have to give my brother two meat dishes."
"Sister, you are so nice. I am so moved that I want to marry you."
Ding Ning showed an expression of being moved to death.
Mu Yanran's pretty face blushed, and she glared at him angrily, "Rascal, I am your sister. Don't talk nonsense."
Ding Ning knew that she was shy, so he did not dare to tease her anymore. He changed the topic and said, "Sister, why do you invite me to dinner today? What's the matter? "
"What are you talking about? Can't I invite you to dinner for no reason?"
Mu Yanran pretended to be unhappy and said.
"One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. Usually, you can't wait for me to stay away from you. You invite me to dinner for no reason. Humph, I don't believe it."
Ding Ning said faintly with a trace of hidden bitterness.
Mu Yanran's heart skipped a beat. Thinking about it carefully, since they knew each other, it seemed that Ding Ning had been giving, and she had always been taking, which made her inexplicably feel guilty.
She did have something to ask Ding Ning, but now it was a little difficult for her to say what she wanted to say.
Seeing that Mu Yanran was silent, Ding Ning secretly scolded himself for not being good at chatting. He quickly smiled and said, "Sister, I am just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart. If you have something to say, you can say it. I won't hesitate to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames."
Mu Yanran stared at him, which made him feel nervous, "What's wrong? Sister, did I say something wrong? "
"Ding Ning, why are you so nice to me?"
Mu Yanran's sudden words caught Ding Ning off guard, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
He asked himself why he was so nice to Mu Yanran. He didn't know. At first, it was because he was attracted by her queen-like manner, which made him have a strong desire to conquer her.
But after a few contacts, he found that although she was very queen-like, she was actually a very simple little woman in her heart. His desire to conquer had long been forgotten and turned into a desire to protect her.
However, it seemed that treating her well had become a habit, a habit. He just didn't want to see such a simple woman being schemed against and bullied, and he wanted to protect her.
Mu Yanran looked at him without blinking, as if she had to get a satisfactory answer.
Ding Ning sorted out his thoughts, grinned and said, "You are my sister. Do I need a reason to be nice to you?"
Mu Yanran's whole body stiffened, as if a sledgehammer had hit her heart, making her tears burst out.
Ding Ning panicked and hurriedly handed over a tissue. "Sister, you … don't cry. Did I say something wrong again?"
