Chapter 12: Eating

When she noticed his watch in early summer, she was working on jewelry design, and it would be too much to see if she didn't recognize this valuable Bulgari watch. It has been said that the real rich don't spend their money on clothes, but instead concentrate ninety-nine percent of their spending on a top-of-the-line luxury. The man in front of him is not only a rich man, but also a rich man who knows how to spend money.

In early summer, I often meet men of this age who come to her for portraits, of course, the purpose is not simply to paint portraits, whether the one in front of her is the same as them, she still doesn't know. Only one thing is certain, for this man, she is not repellent.

Chu Xia pointed to the "two hundred yuan" on the sign, and the man nodded knowingly.

I started to draw him in early summer.

After finishing the painting, the man looked at the painting, nodded in satisfaction, and then handed the early summer five hundred yuan.

Chu Xia said, "Only two hundred." ”

"I'm satisfied, the extra is a reward, and you just overcharged that mother's money. The man said.

Although his reason was difficult to refute, Chu Xia still shook his head, "I really can't overcharge." ”

"You really don't give me face, it's better to do this, it's not too early, you use the extra money to invite me to a meal, so that we can settle down. If you don't agree, I won't want this painting. ”

Chu Xia thought his proposal was very interesting, and after thinking about it, it was indeed time to eat, and there was no business now, so he agreed.

"My name is Qin Nan, Qin of the Qin Dynasty, and Nan of the South. The man said.

"The forest is early summer, the double wood forest, the beginning of summer, the summer of early summer. Hatsu said.

Qin Nan was amused by her self-introduction.

"You wait for me, I'll save the props. Hatsu said. There are not only one person setting up stalls in early summer in the cultural square, but also all kinds of singing, writing, and selling creative supplies, so some people have opened a special storage office.

"Put me in the car, I'll send you back after dinner." Qin Nan said.

In early summer, I remembered how could a rich man like Qin Nan not drive out.

"I'm sorry for you. She said.

In early summer, she was a car blind, what Maserati, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, she didn't know any of them, she only knew the Ferrari logo, or because she saw Ye Yun's car, she asked Liu Xiaotong to know that it was Ferrari. Now that I see Qin Nan's car, just by looking at the momentum, I know that it must not be an ordinary car.

She regretted a little that she agreed to eat with Qin Nan, because the gap between the two was too big, and she didn't know what level of food to eat with Qin Nan.

Qin Nan seemed to know what she was thinking.

"With only $300 in money, we had to eat food stalls. Qin Nan said seriously in a joking tone, and he asked again, "Can you eat spicy?"

"No spicy or no joy. Chu Xia blurted out that this question was too much to her heart.

"Then let's eat Sichuan food. ”

"Okay. ”

said that she was a treat, but in fact, everything was arranged by Qin Nan. He took her to a Sichuan restaurant and sat down in a relatively quiet corner.

"You've been here before?" Hatsu Xia couldn't help but ask when he saw that he was so familiar with this place.

"I've been here, otherwise how dare I bring you casually. Qin Nan said.

Qin Nan asked Chu Xia to order food, and Chu Xia ordered two dishes casually, Qin Nan added a green vegetable and a soup, and gave the list to the waiter.

"But it's not like a place like you rich people want to visit. Hatsu said.

Qin Nan smiled, he cleaned the two servings of the tableware wrapped in plastic paper, and said: "First, my job requires eating with all kinds of people, it is not a question of whether you have money or not, it depends on the preferences of the other party. Sometimes, when you meet someone who is not very rich, but you ask him, and you suddenly take him to a very high-class place, he will not only not appreciate it, but he will also be very uncomfortable, and even misunderstand that you are deliberately embarrassing him. Second, I wasn't that rich in the first place. ”

Although he only used one sentence to say the second point, Hatsu knew that he was emphasizing the second point.

"It must be a great feeling to walk uphill, right?" said Hatsu with envy. Over the years, she felt that everyone was going uphill, only her, who always seemed to be in the same place, unable to enter or retreat.

"Usually other people think it's great, and they feel tired. Qin Nan said, he realized that it was inappropriate to talk about himself all the time, so he quietly shifted the focus of the conversation to Chu Xia, "Actually, I envy you very much, in such a materialistic city, you can still live like an idle cloud and a wild crane." ”

I don't know why, when he suddenly thinks of Ye Yun in early summer, will he feel tired, and will he also yearn for the life of idle clouds and wild cranes?

Qin Nan saw that his compliment did not get the desired effect, but instead made Chu Xia's expression solemn, and said a little depressed: "Don't you like others to praise you?"

Chu Xia smiled embarrassedly, "Now people regard 'idleness' as a useless symbol, you see that in the circle of friends, everyone is going abroad, on business trips, working overtime, getting married and having children, they are all very busy, and no one is proud of 'idle'." ”

"Maybe they're just busy to cover up the emptiness in their hearts, and once they're free, they're at a loss. It's like a spinning top, once it stops, it can't find the value of its existence. But people shouldn't live like spinning tops, are they?"

Chu Xia thought carefully about Qin Nan's words, and thought about Ye Yun's education about "money and power" to himself, these are two completely different attitudes towards life, but Chu Xia heard the same taste, they are all proud of life. This is the distance between her and them, and the distance between her and the whole world. Ye Yun was very cold to her, and she felt that he was far away from her. Qin Nan was very hot with her, but she still felt that he was far away from her. She felt that she was disconnected from the world, alienated from the people of this world.

After a while, the food came up, and in early summer, he let go of all his worries and let himself eat a big meal.

After the meal, Qin Nan sent Chu Xia downstairs, and before parting, he asked her for a phone.

On Monday, early summer went to work as usual.

As soon as she sat down, Zhang Jie came to her, "Lin Chuxia, you go to Mr. Ye's office, he will come over later, you go up first, wait for her there." ”

In the envious eyes of others, especially Liu Xiaotong, his mouth was wide open and he was overjoyed, as if he had won the grand prize, but Chu Xia himself looked depressed. She carried her bag, grabbed her drawing tools, left the design hall, and went up the stairs in a gesture of generosity.

The elevator stopped on the sixty-eighth floor, and Chu Xia moved to Ye Yun's office at the slowest pace, she knocked on the door, but no one answered, she pushed the door and went in.
