Chapter 222: The embarrassment of complaining
Shanghai, Zhabei.
Walk through the narrow old alley, in a small dilapidated building, with a penthouse on the top floor.
Because the space is too narrow, people who are too tall will not be able to stand up straight in such a place, and their instinctive subconscious will bend their waist slightly.
At this time, two young people, a man and a woman, sat around a small square table with a computer on top and a very fashionable laptop next to it.
The same web page is displayed on both computers, and the screen name is interesting.
"Fight, are we really going to meet?"
The young woman put down the mouse in her hand and poured herself a glass of cold water.
"Of course, we agreed to meet each other yesterday, and if we don't let the pigeons go, what will we become?"
The young man skillfully operates the keyboard and mouse in his hands.
"I'm not saying that I want to release other people's pigeons, but I don't understand what the other party wants to see us......?
Looking at the gloomy dark clouds outside the skylight, the woman was not undoubted.
"What is there to be afraid of, no matter what the other party is for, we have nothing to fear. ”
The two of them are poor, and now they have nothing but this money-burning website.
The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and in their current situation, they are really fearless.
What's more, if you say a thousand things and ten thousand, this middleman also has to give face.
"I hope that, as you said, the other party is interested in our website. It's best to invest a sum of money in us, so that our fun network can be launched. ”
The young woman said that her eyes were shining, and that someone to finance their website was her biggest dream right now.
"It's best if that's what we envision. ”
The young man nodded, and when the middleman contacted them, he only gave an address to meet.
As for what it was, it was never mentioned, and I didn't even know who they were meeting and what they were doing.
They can only try to think on the bright side, at least one thing he can guarantee, that is, the intermediary introduced will not harm them.
With the identity and social status of the other party, there is no reason to cheat them.
"I'm too worried, too, and I'm much more comfortable to hear you say that. ”
The young woman smiled, also thinking about the identity of the introducer, she had more confidence in him than the man in front of her.
"That is, I was not afraid when I was single in the United States, and now in China, there is nothing to be afraid of in Shanghai. The young man stretched out his hand and stroked his head: "Pack up and go, it's almost time." ”
"I'm afraid it's going to rain on this day, bring two umbrellas!"
"It's useless to carry an umbrella, and there is no way to hold an umbrella when riding. ”
"Let's take it with you, in case it rains, just walk back, put the bike over there first, and then ride when the rain stops." ”
"Why don't you take a taxi, won't it look good on a bicycle?"
"Don't fight, it's too wasteful, it's not far from here to the place where we meet, it's not cost-effective to take a taxi. In this way, we parked our bikes a little farther away, and if they asked how to get there, they said they were taxi. ”
If it weren't for the concern of being exposed, he would definitely say that he was driving, and now he can only say that he is taking a taxi, which is much more face-saving than riding a bicycle. Sometimes it's absolutely necessary to pretend.
"It's a good idea, then it's very easy. Will I be okay with this dress today?"
"You bought it in New York, of course. ”
The young man shook the suit on his body, although the weather was very hot, he had to wear this big-name suit today, also to show his status.
No matter who they meet for a while, what they are for, they can't lose in terms of momentum, and they must have the temperament of a returnee.
"Let's go!"
The woman grabbed the man's arm, ready to leave the cramped, dark attic.
Although the two are not lovers, as soul mates who start a business together, they have a tacit understanding of external intimacy.
"Wait a minute, bring your laptop. ”
The young man broke free of the woman's hand and walked over to the small square desk to pick up the laptop, and he had a strong premonition that the meeting would be useful for a while.
After ten minutes of cycling, the two came to a tree-lined street and found an open space to park their bicycles.
The typhoon moved over the East China Sea, bringing rare coolness to the hot days, so their 10-minute cycling exercise was not bad, and they didn't sweat profusely.
After walking for two minutes, I walked across the street to the authentic old Shanghai potstickers.
They came to eat this shop once, and the taste of the potstickers is still good, but I don't understand why the other party is here?
Standing at the door and tidying up the glass on the side, they helped each other to clean up the clothes on their bodies, and then shouted to each other to cheer up, and walked into the pot sticker shop with confidence.
Although it is only a small shop, it is not the layout of a fly shop, not only the decoration is new, but the air conditioning is also full.
Although it sells breakfast, it is actually open for three meals a day, but business will be better in the morning, and this time does not belong to the large range of meal time, and there are few customers in the store.
Well, I can only say that except for a man, a woman and a pair of young people who are eating potstickers with their heads down, there are no other guests.
"Is that them?"
"No, he's too young, especially that man, who's just a student!"
The two of them are about the same age, one is twenty-six and the other is twenty-seven, and the young man who is eating potstickers may be about the same age as them.
Whether a man is in his early twenties or not is a question, and it is definitely not the person they are looking for.
"Didn't you make an appointment at ten o'clock? It's ten o'clock now, why hasn't it arrived yet, it's too unpunctual. The young woman grumbled.
They were very punctual and the two of them stepped on the door at ten o'clock.
"Sit down and wait, shall we?"
The young man reassured that in order to match the momentum of the two, they deliberately pressed the time to enter the door, the purpose was to add some confidence to the inner weakness.
As a result, the other party did not play cards according to the routine, and the momentum was lost.
"Hey, okay!"
"What do you two need to eat?"
As soon as I sat down, the waiter came over and served me warmly.
Their purpose is to wait for someone, but they are also embarrassed not to consume anything, and dare to sit hard.
"Let's have a potsticker!"
"Is it enough for two to have one guest?"
"Enough!"
Not long after breakfast, where can I eat more potstickers, and this thing is very oily, and it can't go with milk, there is less foreign flavor, and they are more accustomed to and like milk toast.
"Okay, a potsticker!"
A typical northerner, with a very loud voice, the whole small shop can be heard by everyone.
Fortunately, there are basically no people, although they are embarrassed to be shouted, no one pays attention to them.
The other two customers in the store didn't even raise their heads, and ate their potstickers intently, especially the young boys, who ate as if they were fighting.
Mouth full of oil!
"Yibo, do you think we will be released by people?"
There are only six potstickers per guest, and no matter how slow the two of them eat, they can't last long.
"Don't worry, Yangying, we'll wait. ”
From thinking about whether to release the pigeons, to now worrying about the other party releasing the pigeons, an unknown meeting facilitated by a middleman seems to want world peace.
"Hey, I hate people who don't have a sense of time. ”
The young woman named Yangying said unhappily, estimating that they were not very reliable in the investment they wanted before.
"Well, I also hate people who don't have a sense of time. ”
It was no one else who spoke, but the young man who eliminated the potstickers on the plate who were young and could no longer be young.
Wiping the oil from his mouth with a tissue, he stood up and sat down at their table.
"Hello, if I'm not mistaken, it's us who you're going to see. ”
The young people are none other than Gao Mu and Feifei Wong.
"You are?"
Shao Yibo looked at Gao Mu who sat down in disbelief and was surprised.
The impossible person turned out to be the person they wanted to meet.
This, how is this possible?
"My name is Gao Mu, her name is Feifei Wong, and we asked someone to meet here. ”
Gao Mu smiled and stretched out his hand, the reason why he chose to meet here was purely because he wanted to eat the potstickers here and reminisce about the old taste of memory.
"Hello, I'm Shao Yibo, and she's Tan Yangying. ”
This is really embarrassing, complaining about people's punctuality in front of others.
It's okay if the other side is really unpunctual, but people have already come, but because their supervisor judged that the other party's youth was too light, they were automatically blocked out.
At this time, both Shao Yibo and Tan Yangying were self-examining, but they didn't think about why Gao Mu didn't greet them at the first time.
The reason why Gao Mu didn't come out at the first time was because he was concentrating on dealing with his potstickers at that time, and secondly, because he didn't know the two.
Like Shao Yibo, he still knows his full name, and he only knows half of Tan Yangying's name, and now he knows that there is a foreign character in the middle.
"Hello, how is it, the potstickers here taste okay, do you need another guest?"
Gao Mu is a person who eats three guests in a row, and he is not very satisfied with the amount of two of them and one guest.
"No, no. ”
Shao Yibo waved his hands vigorously, they weren't here to eat potstickers.
"Alright, let's get down to business!"
Feifei Wong is about the same age as them, she will make the atmosphere more comfortable when she speaks, Gao Mu looks too young, and when she talks to their peers when she is still a stranger, she always feels a little old-fashioned.
Gao Mu spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders lightly: "Then let's start, do you say it, or do I say it?"
"Gao, Mr. Gao, I'm sorry. Before I say that, I want to ask, what is the relationship between you and Professor Liu?"
Shao Yibo and Tan Yangying are very concerned about this issue.
"Professor Liu?
Gao Mu didn't know who they were talking about.
"Professor Liu of Jiaotong University?"
The middleman who found them was Professor Liu, Tan Yangying's teacher when she was a student at Jiaotong University.
If it weren't for his face, they wouldn't have rushed to meet without knowing anything, and they were full of wonderful conjectures.
