8 Calls on days off
On Sunday, Lin Yilong chose to take a day off to recover from the fatigue of the platform and travel.
The Yeon sisters went out early, and it was a very busy day for them.
From this night on, the current bedroom of the two sisters will be taken back by Lin Yilong and turned into a guest room again - as for the function of Lin Yilong's master bedroom, there is no change, and there are two more people, and some adjustments need to be made. From this day on, the two of them were no longer Lin Yilong's protectors, but loyal and obedient to his "handmaiden".
The Yeon sisters packed their belongings, changed their sheets, and dusted off the dust — many of their personal belongings had already been brought to the Bracken Yard, and they had limited things to bring, with only one travel backpack each. Other common areas, such as kitchens and open bays, are cleaned up by housekeeping staff on appointment.
Before leaving, the Yeon sisters also need to buy some clothes. Placed in the closet of the dressing room in Lin's master bedroom in case of emergency, the so-called "clothes to buy" are limited to formal, ceremonial and casual wear for emergency clothes in London. Nadia's cocktail party dress worn at the club next to Liverpool Station has been abandoned by Nadia herself in the former student dormitory, and her sister's dress of the same style was found by Nadia, and after persuasion, in order not to cause her sister's sad memories, Vera also threw her own into a black garbage bag. Because of this, the Yeon sisters had to buy two sets of formal and semi-formal dresses again, they knew that Lin Yilong was impatient to shop, and after making the bed in the morning, they went out together.
Unless it's something that has been decided a long time ago, no one wants to disturb someone else's dream on Sunday. However, after checking the situation of the forest farm with the three lead workers, there were still calls from unknown phone numbers, and the calls were still made on his 'business' line.
"Hello, is it Mr. Yilong-Lin?" Listen to the accent, this voice should be the dialect on the other side of the pond.
In the past few years that Lin Yilong has been in Britain, except for Cardiff and Westminster City, where there is no obvious accent, the accent in most places can still be heard a little. He is best at distinguishing the difference between the Sigra Morgan accent and the Carmarsen accent, and can distinguish the approximate origin of the person by the way he speaks, even in the city of London, Lin Yilong also knows the so-called "London accent" Cockney dialect to know whether this person is from the East End of London.
"It's me, please. Lin Yilong said.
"To introduce myself, I am the manager of the Lapuche restaurant, Theodore Teven. "I bought your truffles in Florence the day before yesterday." ”
"Please go on. Lin Yilong swore to the lamp that he had never heard of the restaurant's name.
"I wonder if I can tell you about the future supply of white truffles. Mr. Terewen said what he meant.
"If possible, can you call on Monday during work?" Lin Yilong asked impatiently, "Now that I have a weekend vacation, I don't have enough information on hand." ”
"Sorry to disturb your rest. "I wonder if we can find a place to meet privately if you're still in Florence." ”
"Unfortunately, I went back to Bristol last night. Lin Yilong declined such a completely unruly suggestion of talks, "If we have the chance, we can arrange a meeting in Cardiff or Swansea." ”
"Sorry excuse me, I'll call again tomorrow. Terewen said disappointedly.
Lin Yilong could tell that Mr. Telaiwen or the Lapuche restaurant he represented did not have a silver bank, and if they were, they would not have secured a possible white truffle before the truffle harvest season, but would have chosen to auction or bid online to compete with other merchants. In this way, the bargaining power is compared, and Lin Yilong is placed on the bargaining advantage that may be negotiated next, so Lin Yilong is not very anxious.
This phone call ruined Lin Yilong's good mood on his rest day.
Before he could wait five minutes, the annoying phone rang again.
Similar to the last phone call, this time a restaurant manager in London was changed, and Lin Yilong was also scolded back.
As soon as I put down the phone, it was another unknown call.
"What's the matter, let's talk about it on Monday!" Lin Yilong yelled impatiently to the other side.
"Sorry, Yi, it's me. I'm calling on Monday. "It's Katie's voice.
Katie's call confused Lin Yilong.
"I'm sorry, I've been calling a bit too much lately. Lin Yilong said, "It's been a long time, it's been a long time since I've heard your voice." ”
"I want to meet and talk to you, I'm ......." Katie slurred, making Lin Yilong very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, say it slowly, what's going on?" Lin Yilong asked in a very concerned tone, although the tone was like this, but he didn't think so.
"Can I find time to meet with you?" asked Katie.
"Yes, when and where?" Lin Yilong asked.
Unexpectedly, after a year, Lin Yilong returned to New Meldan, the same Korean restaurant, and even the same private room.
"Katie, you're here. Lin Yilong walked to the door of the private room to welcome Katie and poured her barley tea, "How are you doing?"
Katie lost her mind, and then tears rolled down her face.
Lin Yilong didn't comfort Katie, but used a brush to grease the baking tray in the middle of the table, put a few pieces of pork belly, and watched Katie show emotion.
"Yi, can't we really go back to the past!?" Katie asked with a pitiful look when she saw that the tearful offensive couldn't impress Lin Yilong.
"Katie, our relationship is like this, since you were going to live on your own last winter, I persuaded you, you chose freedom, and I didn't interfere further. Lin Yilong took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I thought that you came here as an old man to talk to me." ”
"Shouldn't you be generous and comfort me when chatting about the old days?" If it was according to Katie's usual mood, she would have brushed her sleeves away a long time ago, but she was still sitting here, and she still had something to ask for.
"Well, that makes sense. Lin Yilong picked up the tissue on the table and handed it to Katie, his movements were stiff, hesitant, and unnatural.
"There must be something wrong with this woman!" Vera commented to her sister.
The wall has ears, and when the Yeang sisters returned to their apartment on Riverbank Street, they happened to see Lin Yilong riding towards Waterloo Station in a hurry, and out of curiosity, the two sisters silently followed him behind. But after all, he is not from a professional background, and the trailing traces of the Yeang sisters are too obvious, and they were caught by Lin Yilong, who has been vigilant all the time, at Waterloo Station, Lin Yilong not only did not get angry, but asked the Yeon sisters to follow him to the restaurant where New Merdan and Katie dated, and "audited" the conversation between the two in the private room next door.
