Chapter 40: Tingting
After the initial shock, Lin Xiao thought about it calmly, and felt that it was not particularly uncommon for Huang Lu and Zhixin to be hooked.
This person usually looks quite big and thick, but in some details, he has extraordinary care and patience.
Throughout the night, Lin Xiao barely slept well.
For a while, I dreamed that I was standing in front of the camera and talking to myself with extremely high emotions, and for a while, I dreamed that I was passively following He Qixin in major shopping malls, and others came to buy clothes seriously, so only they touched this dress, and looked at that dress, from ingredient research to version, to the current fashion trend. Not only did they only look at it in the real sense and not buy it, but they even completely ignored the scrutinizing gaze of the salesman next to him, and got together from time to time to chatter a few words.
When I finally finished shopping in a shopping mall, when I was about to go out, I was ruthlessly stopped by the salesperson. Lin Xiaogang wanted to say something, but as soon as he looked up, Huang Lu appeared in front of him. Huang Lu still had the same expression of the old god, with a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "I know everything about you." β
After speaking, Lin Xiao was awakened alive.
Lin Xiao subconsciously went to take the mobile phone on the bedside table next to him, and when he clicked on it, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. Her biological clock has gradually become inaccurate as she stays up more and more often. At first, I could wake up naturally at seven or eight o'clock, then eight or nine o'clock, and now I simply sleep until ten o'clock.
Fall is faster than self-discipline.
As soon as Lin Xiao wanted to sigh, Huang Lu's face appeared in his mind. After the rendering of the dream, there is even a little more "fierce and evil" meaning, and one of the most unsightly things for this person is to sigh in the morning.
"Early in the morning, I sighed at my luck. Huang Lu said this more than once.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's breath finally didn't succeed in sighing, and it was stuck in his throat. She looked at herself in the mirror, squeezed off the toothpaste fiercely, and took the toothpaste as Huang Lu to vent her anger.
Obviously, at first glance, he is just a set of left green dragons and right white tigers from the big brother in society, but he stubbornly wants to set himself up with the character of the confidant big brother's gossip and superstitious grandmother, which feels magical and contradictory when you think about it.
Wait, this person may really have the left green dragon and the right white tiger engraved on his body.
Lin Xiao was so frightened by his brain supply that he couldn't help but tremble, and almost swallowed all the toothpaste water. When she was coughing dryly on her stomach at the sink, Lin Xiao still had time to think: Is this the retribution she had to sigh for the morning just now?
After simply making something to eat, it was soon time for Huang Lu to agree with her.
Lin Xiao originally only needed to go over in the evening, but after knowing that Huang Lu was going to go to the mall, he immediately decided to follow and let him take him with him when the time came. Huang Lu naturally had no opinion on this, and agreed after making an appointment.
"It's a nice neighborhood. After Lin Xiao got into the car, Huang Lu glanced at the community behind her twice, and sighed.
The community where Lin Xiao bought the house was planned and built at about the same time as the new business district, and now the surrounding supporting facilities have been formed, and the greening is very good.
"I think so, too. β
Huang Lu snorted, stared at Lin Xiao for a while, turned his head and started the car, and said, "You are quite immodest." β
"What's there to be humble about this. Lin Xiao was puzzled: "To tell you the truth, I worked hard to save hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy it, and by the way, I still have decades of arrears in the back, if this community is not good, then I will be so troubled." β
Hearing such justified words, Huang Lu finally couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense." β
"Of course. After Lin Xiao finished speaking, thinking that his tone did seem a little naΓ―ve, he couldn't help laughing.
"By the way, what about you?" the two of them were happy for a while, and Lin Xiao asked casually.
"What am I?"
"Where did you buy your house?
Fantes is broken, but it can be regarded as a store that is developing upward, and it has only taken three years to develop to the way it is now. Although Xu Yuanhang only mentioned a few words when he introduced Huang Lu at the beginning, saying that this person is very good at doing things, but through this period of contact, Lin Xiao also has a relatively clear understanding of Huang Lu's work ability.
Work is the most deceitful thing, especially in the current era of turbulent waves, Huang Lu has struggled for all these years, and buying a house should not be a particularly difficult thing for him
"Nope. β
"Huh?" Lin Xiao subconsciously responded, and then reacted, inevitably feeling a little embarrassed. Just as he wanted to say something to reveal the topic, he heard Huang Lu continue: "Or, there is, but it's sold." β
Lin Xiao was suddenly silenced, and he was a little at a loss.
When Huang Lu said this, he still had that nonchalant tone, as if what he was saying was just an ordinary thing.
But only those who have worked hard know that this is not a very easy sentence, and there are countless sleepless nights behind it.
"Say whatever you want. Huang Lu turned a corner and glanced at Lin Xiao through the rearview mirror, with a faint expression.
"There's not much to say. After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he smiled and said, "I thought the two rooms in the studio were yours, after all, the landlord is a rich man." β
"I'm a second landlord at best. Huang Lu also laughed and explained: "The rich man of the land is an acquaintance and lent it to me directly." β
"That's pretty good, next time this kind of rich man will introduce me to know. β
"What's the matter? Could it be that you're going to start a blind date now?"
"It's not necessary, it's just that it's too far away. Riding a bike in the big winter, it's too cold. β
"I'm not used to it. β
"Sort of. β
The two of them gradually stopped talking, Lin Xiao didn't ask Huang Lu why he sold the house, and Huang Lu didn't ask Lin Xiao about the car again.
As the working age increases, talking about a house and a car seems tacky, but it is as commonplace as firewood, rice, oil and salt.
The vulgarity is accompanied by the smell of fireworks, which pulls everyone into the mortal dust.
The only commendable thing is probably that on some topics, a tacit understanding can be reached that no longer asks for the bottom of the matter.
"By the way, I haven't eaten, there are snacks in the back, you can take them out and pad them first. Huang Lu pointed to the position in the back seat.
"You've already been to the supermarket?" Lin Xiao glanced back in the direction he pointed, and there were several large bags on the seat behind him, almost occupying the entire back seat.
"yes, it's not nonsense, otherwise those things would have been conjured out of thin air. β
Lin Xiao, who said a word of "nonsense", reluctantly added: "I thought you would wait for me to come together." β
"It's too late, so you might as well get some more sleep. Huang Lu glanced at her, and said before her: "You young people feel more, and we old people feel less." β
"That's fine. Lin Xiao finally couldn't help but be happy, and accepted the title of "young man".
After a brief lunch, the two headed straight to the mall.
The popularity of Singles' Day has spread to offline, and many stores have hung relevant red banners and slogans at the door.
"Challenge Jack Ma, lower than Taobao. Lin Xiao read the words on the banner and sighed: "Ma Yun is not easy. β
"Spokespeople, always have to face these troubles of being targeted. Huang Lu didn't care about this, turned around and walked into a store.
When Lin Xiao was in VISION, in addition to shopping for clothes, he would also go to the mall from time to time. The main purpose is to see the popularity of major fast fashion brands in the current season, and you can see a lot of product varieties being made in it every time. Sometimes, you can even see the pattern of the order that has been made.
This sense of accomplishment from being handled by oneself, developed from scratch, and finally made into a display is a little comfort under the high-intensity work.
In addition, some styles and fashion trends of fast fashion brands are also very worthy of reference.
But what he didn't expect was that Huang Lu went not to these international brand stores in the mall, but to the small shops in the pedestrian street behind the business district. When Lin Xiao followed him in, he looked up at the signboard hanging on it: Tingting Women's Clothing.
On the glass door next to it, there is also a large and bright red paper, on which a few words are written with a black pen: Taobao wholesale.
Lin Xiao: ...... The styles in the Fantes store can't be taken from here, right?
"Eh, Brother Lu, here you go again. "On weekdays, there was no one in the store during the day, and the proprietress sat behind the cash register, raised her head and said hello lazily when she heard the movement.
"Where did it come from? It's Double 11 now, so I came to take a look. β
"You can pull it down. The proprietress sneered, pointed in the direction of the door, and said, "Next time, come and say hello in advance, I'll go and bring the small blackboard from the shop opposite." β
Lin Xiao followed her line of sight and saw a shoe shop opposite, with a small black and white piece next to it, with four big characters written in chalk "Peers are not allowed to enter".
Huang Lu was very calm about this, and said, "Okay, tell me next time." β
Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing, the proprietress seemed to have just noticed that there was another person at this time, tilted her head to look at Lin Xiao, nodded her chin to say hello, and said, "Oh, this is the new anchor in your store?"
"Hmm. Huang Lu nodded, specially stepped aside, and introduced, "Lin Xiao." β
Lin Xiao responded with a smile, looked at Huang Lu and motioned for him to continue the introduction.
"Just call me Tingting, it's written on the signboard. The proprietress who shrank behind the cash register like a snake finally stood up, leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, and said in a lazy voice, "I watched your live broadcast, it's pretty good." β
"Live broadcast?" Lin Xiao immediately reacted and said, "Last night's?"
"I saw it the night before yesterday and watched it yesterday. Tingting raised the corners of her lips, showed a smile, and said, "It's amazing, it's really professional." β
