Chapter 10: Minmin Temoor
Yin Jie walked into Starbucks and just finished ordering a cup of mocha when he luckily found an empty seat in the sofa area, which was left by a young couple who had just left.
She is wearing a green floral fine cotton sundress on a white background, lined with a milky white slightly transparent T, and a pair of white lace-up sandals. The black hair is tied up on the top of the head to form a fluffy ball, and only a small light green gauze butterfly is pinned to the back of the side of the ball, which is full of ancient charm. Yin Jie has always understood his own characteristics, and he also likes to dress himself up with some classical elements.
She put on light makeup today, only applied a thin layer of BB cream on her face, darkened her eyebrows, and didn't use lip gloss, only colorless lip balm. It took less than ten minutes to pack up and leave the house with a Longchamp dumpling bag
Yin Jie has a typical goose egg face, with clear eyebrows and full red lips. An elder who is familiar with physiognomy once commented that her facial features "have a rhinoceros on the nose, eyes on the spirit, a high nose bridge, a plump jaw, and ears like beads", and the only thing lacking is a short forehead, which is said in the photo book to represent her unfortunate childhood. And so it is. When Yin was born, the catastrophe had been over for a while, but her parents still took her to work in a cadre school in a remote area, and the living environment was extremely harsh. It lasted until she was four years old before she was rehabilitated and returned to K-City. However, when he was a child, he was treated coldly by his parents and betrayed by those close to him,... ... , many childhood memories have miraculously been preserved, leaving a deep imprint on her character...
Yin Jie casually put the bag on the opposite seat, sipped it slowly with his coffee in his hand, and looked around by the way. Starbucks is full of people and bustling. Nowadays, although there are not many people who really know how to taste coffee, the act of going to a cafΓ© has become relatively common in China. In most people's minds, drinking coffee has become a hallmark of the European and American lifestyles. Cafes of various styles have sprung up in large and medium-sized cities, and of course, Starbucks in the United States is still the most famous brand, the most outlets, and the most famous.
Starbucks is headquartered in Seattle, USA, and is now the world's largest coffee chain. Interestingly, Starbucks' main categories, such as espresso, cappuccino, latte, and macchiato, all belong to the category of Italian coffee, but the quality of its coffee beans and the production process have made proud Italian coffee people scoff (Yin Jie had the intention of tasting coffee in every city and communicating with baristas about this topic when he visited Italy with his delegation). The sense of ritual and romance of Italian coffee that it strives to create seems to be difficult to be recognized and accepted by Italians. The goal described by Howard Schultz in "Injecting the Heart" - "to be like an Italian coffee shop full of human touch and become a community bond" is difficult for Starbucks to achieve, at least in China, but its precise positioning, "a luxury that most people can afford", still attracts young people in large and medium-sized cities in China.
Yin Jie picked up the "Yiren" magazine on the newspaper shelf and flipped through it. After looking at it for a while, Zhao Min'er walked in the door.
Zhao Min'er, the bandit name of the circle of friends Min Min Temur (readers who are familiar with Jin Yong's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" should be familiar with this name), has a cold complexion and a white complexion, wearing a grass green overalls skirt, and looks very capable. Her shoulder-length brown hair was permed into large curls and draped casually over her shoulders.
Zhao Min'er is the editor-in-chief of a management magazine, and Yin Jie is a special and special friend. Yin Jie has always liked Zhao Min'er, she likes Zhao Min'er's words and deeds The very special temperament, quite a bit of the OL strong woman sister in Korean dramas. How to say it, it is ββββ casual and delicate eyebrows, elegant dress, all-round work, confident and calm, especially know how to grasp the timing and proportion... In a word, it is the perfect professional woman who can make people unconsciously "Wow!".
It has been said that when you are deeply attracted to someone, there must be qualities in that person that you desire but do not have. "Maybe Zhao Min'er's natural and unpretentious elegance is what I want the most. Yin Jie often thinks so. Of course, she didn't know that her own unique bookish temperament was also something that many people repeatedly wanted.
Zhao Min'er's eyes are not big but very bright, her eyes are slender, and the tails of her eyes are slightly drooping, which neutralizes the essence of her body and softens it a little. The lips are slightly thin but shrewd, the swan neck is white and slender, and the body is straight.
βHello hello hello~~~β
She smiled and stretched out her hands to Yin Jie. The two smiled warmly and hugged each other.
"Have you been busy lately?" she said as she went to the counter and ordered a matcha latte and sat down.
"Hmm~~~, not busy at all. Yin Jie leaned on the armrest of the sofa and tilted his head lazily.
"Oh, I remember. I forgot what you said on the phone. Zhao Min'er smiled and said, "But even if I don't know, I know just look at you." β
"What do I look like?" Yin Jie's eyes widened.
"Like a lazy cat basking in the sun. Zhao Min'er smiled.
"It's okay, barely acceptable. Yin Jie pretended to say and slowly sat up straight.
Zhao Min'er burst out laughing. She took a sip of her coffee and stifled a smile.
"So, you've already completed the formalities?"
"yes, it's done. Hey, you say, I really seem to be a hard worker! In the first few days, I was done, tidying up the housework, tidying up the yard, and the day passed. Recently, I've been bored when I'm free, and I can't lift my spirit when I practice calligraphy, and I can't calm my mind. I didn't do anything, and my whole body hurt all over my body, and the whole person seemed to be rusty. β
"Hey, don't bring this! Show off in front of me, a real toiler!" Zhao Min'er patted her, and then said:
"Hmph! These are the few days that will allow you to have a good rest. Back in your new unit, I don't believe you still have time to relax. β
She paused, frowned solemnly, and said:
"Your future boss I inquired, it's not a good stubble. β
"Tell me about it. β
"The members of the Youth Federation are more drilling, although the effect is not good. There have been several labor arbitrations, and it is said that this person is quite harsh, ruthless, and has a mean mouth, so you should be careful. β
Yin Jie pondered for a moment. Her first impression of Ning Haoran was actually quite good, a tall and sturdy person, with a faint sense of nobility and a very sunny smile... , but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with "harsh", "ruthless", and "mean".
However, she also raised her spirits because of this. With Zhao Min'er's temperament, if the source was unreliable, or the source was single or unverified, she would not say it to Yin Jie with such certainty.
"Well, I'll keep an eye on it. But I really like this job. β
"The last time you said it on the phone, I knew it was a foreign company. What do you do?"
"It's not wrong to say it's a foreign company. To be precise, this is actually the operational agent of a regional agency in country S. β
"How?"
"Country S is a small government system, which advocates the minimization of the size and functions of government, as long as it has the ability to protect the liberty of its citizens and defend against acts that infringe on it. The biggest advantage of this small government system is that it avoids bureaucracy, but because government workers are always kept within a small quota, manpower is relatively limited. Therefore, the state outsources some non-core functions to enterprises that have both service qualifications and good business reputations, and these enterprises carry out external activities as government representatives. Of course, these companies must follow a code of conduct when acting on behalf of the government. LS, which I am going to this time, is one such company, whose main function is to act as an agent for a regional government to attract investment. β
"Introducing S-country enterprises to China?"
"On the contrary, introduce Chinese companies to country S. β
"Country S is so rich, it's the richest country in the world. Still need to bring in investment?"
"Please, it's just that others ask me this question, you are the editor-in-chief of a management magazine, how can you ask such a question?" Yin Jie tilted his head and looked at Zhao Min'er with a little disapproval. "Foreign direct investment is important for the economic development of all countries, okay. As the number one superpower, isn't country U also trying to attract investment?"
Zhao Min'er slapped her with a smile and defended:
"We're a business management magazine, not a policy analysis magazine. You don't think everybody knows the work of the government like you do. β
Yin Jie pursed his lips and glanced at her. Zhao Min'er responded with an innocent expression and pure eyes. After a while, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, chuckled, raised his hand to take a sip of latte, and said with a smile: "You're just so boring! What are you doing so clearly at any time and anywhere? Even if I know, won't this make you get used to it in advance? Is it wrong? Is there one? You don't know the hearts of good people!"
Yin Jie smiled hesitantly, dodging the claws of Zhao Min'er.
"How's that going for you?"
"What else?
"You Mr. Liang?" Yin Jie met Zhao Min'er and her boss Liang Yang at the event. With a little attention, you can see that Liang Yang is unusual to Zhao Min'er.
However, King Xiang is intentional, and the goddess is ruthless.
"I just do my job. After all, he still has a family, and he will act with scruples. Well, he's a little shameless himself, and he's not the kind of person who has no bottom line. β
"If only it didn't bother you. β
"Is it bothered? a little bit. As long as I have a clear attitude and integrity, I believe he will understand after a while. β
Minmin Temur Zhao Miner is actually very anxious, and her parents urge her to find a boyfriend every day to start a family. Of course, she understands that as long as she finds a fixed boyfriend, the troubles of Liang Yang and others will be solved. But the fact is that Miss Zhao is talented, good-looking, rich and house-bearing, and has a smooth career, but she can't meet a suitable man no matter what. She is still alone, and she really doesn't understand what the problem is?
Yin Jie once had the idea of introducing her boyfriend to her, and the target was Boss Ruan, who was in charge of research and development. Although Boss Ruan is a little thin, his face is a little pale, and he is dressed like a science and engineering manββββ plaid shirt + jeans that have not changed for thousands of years, but his talent is there, and he is indeed a well-known bull in the machine translation industry. It's a pity that there was no positive chemistry between the two, and Zhao Min'er only glanced at Boss Ruan and didn't say anything. Yin Jie therefore understood that although Zhao Min'er was insincere, he was actually a complete face control. Although he said that he didn't have any requirements for his boyfriend, in fact, the requirements were not only a lot but also not low. After looking around and finding that there were no other good single men, the matter had to be stopped.
After the two drank coffee, they went to the "Yue Finger Room" downstairs in Jianwai Sohu to do nail art.
When it comes to nail art, the two have completely different demands. Yin Jie does not have high requirements for the style and pattern of nails, her focus is on the quality of the manicure, requiring the master to use good potions, have good skills, and repair them cleanly and neatly, without the slightest damage to the nail quality. Yin Jie's nails are very full, the nail is pink and has a beautiful crescent. After her nails were repaired, she only applied transparent nail polish and was done, which was simple, beautiful and generous. Zhao Min'er is at the other extreme, she has an unusual passion for elegant and generous patterns, and she also has a particularly high demand for the skills of nail technicians. She doesn't make her nails gold-inlaid with jade flowers like other nail artists. The patterns she likes seem casual but are actually exquisite, just like her appearance, which requires good taste, exquisite design, and just the right implementation to create. Just like in daily life, although she chose Audi as a car because of safety, she never disdained to use name brands to show her status in terms of clothing and accessories. Despite this, her delicacy is extremely high, and she can stand up to the scrutiny of all sides, and her style and charm are difficult for others to imitate.
Yin Jie raised his hands in agreement with his friend's point of view. Minmin Temur Zhao's beauty is delicate and unique, like a breeze in the autumn harvest season, like the refreshing coolness under the shade of the trees when the mountains are thick, that special beauty is impossible to ignore, impossible to forget, and will always be so unique in the sea of people that people can be recognized at a glance.
As soon as I walked into the nail salon, the receptionist was busy calling Shirley out. Shirley is the head of this nail salon, with an average appearance and a very cute chubby person. The key is that this girl's kung fu is extremely good, as picky as Zhao Min'er, and she is always amazed by her ingenuity and craftsmanship.
Shirley walked towards Zhao Min'er, the expression on his face was a little indescribable. Yin Jie couldn't help laughing, and Zhao Min'er also laughed. The arrival of Zhao Min'er means the beginning of another round of challenges to Shirley's technology. For someone like Minmin Temoor, who eats the rice of words, there is no limit to the imagination of beauty. Every time Miss Zhao comes up with an ingenious idea, Shirley racks her brains and constantly challenges the limits of her imagination and practical ability... Of course, the beauty of the finished work and Zhao Min'er's recognition also greatly satisfied Shirley's vanity and made her beautiful to the top of the clouds. It was this painful and happy experience that made Shirley a chief manicurist. If the "collaboration" between the two continues, it is estimated that Shirley will be able to guarantee that the title will never be lost.
Yin Jie chatted with his own nail technician when he was doing his nails, and heard that Shirley had led a small team to be responsible for the nail art services of the models of "Yiren". It's no wonder she was flipping through magazines in a cafΓ© when she spotted a model whose henna seemed to have been seen on Minmint Moore's hands.
Yin Jie's manicure was quickly completed, watching Shirley wipe the nail polish off Zhao Min'er's nails for the eighteenth time, and getting up sadly to find the right color, Yin Jie smiled and asked for another foot protection. The so-called foot care is a complete set of care processes of foot cleaning, toenail repair, leg massage, film dressing, and hot roasting. Ladies usually like to do foot care in the spring so that they can wear skirts in the summer to show off their beautiful calves. Yin Jie is used to doing it once in autumn, so that after the autumn passes, he only needs home-cooked care to ensure the beauty of his feet throughout the winter.
It was late in the evening when the nail salon came out, and the girlfriend duo went to Hallasan arm in arm. The two ordered a troop hot pot and a plate of mixed vegetables, and ate them separately.
