156 The Sorrow of the Leftover Woman (6)
Xiaocao felt that something was wrong, but after all, she was indeed late, so she apologized first, and then sat down and looked at the man opposite.
Dressed in a well-cut gray suit, with neatly combed hair, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his fair face, he is quite a gentleman.
"Miss Yuan, I am a lawyer, our time in this line is very precious, I hope you can understand, my fee for each hour in the firm is 200 yuan, US dollars. Mr. Li pushed the frame of his glasses and said reservedly.
Xiaocao had already apologized just now, and at this time she felt the need to explain, but just said: "I received a call temporarily......
Mr. Li stretched out his hand, made a "stop" gesture with his palm to Xiaocao, and said very seriously: "A qiē reason is an excuse, and I never listen to explanations. ”
Xiaocao was still a little apologetic, but she was not happy to say it when she saw the other party so unrelenting, she just picked up the menu and saw what was delicious, she was already hungry after a busy day today, and she couldn't treat her stomach badly.
Mr. Li saw Xiaocao's movements, and said, "Miss Yuan, I have already ordered the dishes, and they are selected according to the principles that are most in line with health." ”
Xiaocao was stunned, this is even deprived of the choice of what to eat, this man is also strange, the first time they meet, shouldn't they ask each other's dietary preferences before deciding what dish to order?
"Miss Yuan, I heard that you are doing human resources?"
Xiaocao flipped through the menu, drooling at the big fish and meat in the picture, and nodded, thinking that he should have heard the introducer talk about his situation.
"What is Miss Yuan's position now?" Manager or Director?"
Xiaocao raised her eyelids, her head still lowered, glanced at the other party, and said with a smile: "I'm just a little clerk, nothing." ”
Sure enough, Mr. Li frowned and said, "Miss Yuan is thirty this year, right? It's really strange that the manager hasn't even done it." ”
Xiaocao snorted coldly in her heart. The smile on his face did not disappear, "I am indifferent to fame and fortune, I am not used to managing people, and the small staff is the most suitable for me." ”
Mr. Li shook his head. "You're wrong, this is a society full of competition, either you eliminate others or are eliminated by others, especially you women. I was already in a weak position in the workplace, and if I didn't work hard, I really had no hope. ”
Xiaocao's hand flipping through the color page of the menu stopped, looked at the other party with an open look and asked, "Oh?
Mr. Li waved his hand and said: "Look, you have to get married when you are old, and then you have to have a child, and it will take more than a year to get pregnant and take maternity leave, which is all attrition. Very disadvantageous. ”
Xiaocao pouted and said, "Mr. Li is really thoughtful, and he thought of having a child when we met for the first time." ”
Mr. Li didn't care about Xiaocao's sarcasm, but said naturally: "These are the basic elements for me to consider the marriage partner, by the way, Miss Yuan, what kind of university did you graduate from? What is the highest education?"
Xiaocao smiled and asked rhetorically, "May I ask what elements Mr. Li's marriage partner must have?"
Mr. Li folded his hands on the table and said quite smugly: "Salary, position." Background, including but not limited to academic qualifications, graduated from the school, is not a famous brand. What are the rankings in China, what are the celebrities of the alumni, etc., and, Miss Yuan, what do your parents do? What is your current annual salary? Does the company have supplementary medical insurance to cover your family and children?"
Xiaocao suddenly felt that she had no appetite. Is this an interview or a blind date?
But Mr. Li didn't notice it at all, and continued to talk endlessly, "I am a very principled person, this is also my professional quality, for property issues, it is necessary to sign a prenuptial agreement, so as not to waste time when divorced because of this unclear matter, this prenuptial agreement is a very popular thing in the upper class, I think you should be able to accept it, right?"
Xiaocao put down the menu, looked at the time, then opened his wallet and took out four hundred-dollar bills and slapped them on the table, got up and began to put on his coat.
"Miss Yuan, what are you doing here?" Mr. Li was talking happily, and was very stunned when he saw Xiaocao's movements, and asked puzzled.
"We've been chatting for a total of twenty minutes now, according to Mr. Li's price, it should be so much, right?" Xiaocao picked up her bag and continued: "Although I am not satisfied with your service, a well-read person like me will not pay the bills. ”
Mr. Li immediately understood that Xiaocao was ridiculing the 200 US dollars per hour he had just said, and his fair face turned red all of a sudden, and he pointed at Xiaocao and trembled angrily: "You...... You, how can that?"
Xiaocao smiled and said, "If you have more, you will be tipped as a tip." ”
Seeing that Mr. Li was so angry that he almost had a heart attack and his fingers were trembling, Xiaocao suddenly felt depressed, and was about to leave, but when he heard him calling himself behind his back, he couldn't help but look back a little impatiently.
"Miss Yuan, this meal is for the two of us, you have no opinion on the AA system, let me take a look at the bill," Mr. Li blushed, opened the bill on the table and calculated, "The vegetable salad is mine, forty-eight, and the white fungus wolfberry cup is yours, sixty-eight ......"
Xiao Caoli didn't pay attention to it, turned around and left, Nima didn't even see a single vegetable leaf, and wanted the old lady to pay for the meal, this is too picky, right?
Out of the hotel, a cold wind blew, Xiaocao shrank her neck, and her meal today was gone.
She touched her stomach, looked left and right, and turned her head to find that there was a small shop selling noodles in the alley next door, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she walked in a few steps.
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a hot aroma, there were only five or six tables inside, but they were crowded with people, the boss and the proprietress were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, one cut the beef in front of the table, each slice was thin and even, the color was bright, and the other was boiling noodles, and there were more than a dozen bowls of large funnels in a huge pot, and the thin and white noodles inside were tumbling with the clear and boiling soup, which was very beautiful.
Xiaocao felt that her appetite was suddenly opened, and she suddenly felt so hungry again, and said to the boss, "Give me a bowl of noodles, thank you." ”
The boss was a chubby middle-aged man, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, you can find a place to sit first, and it will be good for a while." ”
Xiaocao's heart was also warmed by his enthusiastic smile, and he said yes and went inside, only to find that almost every table was full of people, only the one in the corner sat a young man, looking down at a book, very attentive. (To be continued.) )
