Chapter 41: Unexpected Encounters (2)
Xu Xincheng walked back to his seat, and before he could sit down, David and the others couldn't wait to come over to him.
Lee, who is originally from the UK, asked him, "Steve, who is she?" Oh My Goodness! She is SOOO beautiful! SOOO elegant! SOOO graceful! She looks SOOOOOO noble, like a queen!” ("Steve, who is she? Oh my God! She's so beautiful, so elegant, so elegant, so elegant, she looks so noble, like a queen!")
He hastened to say, "She is a friend, just a friend." ("She's a friend, just a friend.") When he said "just a friend", he made a point of sharpening his tone and raising the volume, and he felt that he needed to emphasize this point in particular, so as not to cause misunderstanding.
David hurriedly asked, "How did you come to know her?" There must be a good story. Come on, please tell us.” ("How did you meet her?") That's sure to be a good story.) Quick, please tell us quickly. ”)
He was a little helpless and thought to himself: "It seems that gossip is a common hobby of people all over the world, regardless of country or race." ”
When asked, he remembered the three nights when he met Lucy, and the last two times they met, but of course he couldn't tell them what happened, and they didn't believe it, so he summarized the whole story very highly, saying, "We came across in a meeting, and then we got to talk, and then we got to know each other. That’s it.” ("We met on a chance encounter, and we talked, and we got to know each other.") That's it. ”)
“Come on! Steve, please tell us more details.” ("Don't do that!, Steve, please tell us more details.") ”)
He spread his hands helplessly and said, "Well, there is not much to tell, actually, I really don't know a lot about her." ("Well, there's really not much to say, in fact, I don't really know much about her.") ”)
He didn't know much about Lucy until now, and he only learned a few minutes ago that Lucy should be an executive, or even a senior executive, of the investment company she had mentioned last time.
Thinking about it like this, he became distracted again, and even a little confused. After all, Lucy's appearance today was very different from the previous two times, and it was even more different from what he had seen in those three nights, and his heart was both puzzled and surprised.
However, he understood at least one thing now, and that was why the waiters in the café were so respectful to her.
Lee and several other tech men continued to discuss Lucy's beauty enthusiastically, but Rose went against the norm of her mouth not stopping these days, she silently lowered her head, silently drank coffee, and looked a little sullen.
Xu Xincheng guessed in his heart that Rose, like all girls, suddenly felt a little depressed and depressed when he saw a girl who was much more beautiful than himself, just like the four celebrities in the café when he first met Lucy here, they also had a similar look to Rose now when they saw Lucy.
He was a little worried about Rose, but he immediately thought that according to her personality, she should soon be resurrected with full blood, and should soon return to her original lively and cheerful normal, so he didn't think much about it.
After drinking coffee and getting up to leave, Xu Xincheng didn't want to disturb Lucy and the others, so he led the seven people through a passage that was farther away from them.
As he walked, he looked over to her, and saw that Lucy was talking to the four ladies very seriously, probably talking about work, the Chinese lady in her thirty-fifth seemed to be Lucy's secretary or assistant, she was very intently typing something on the keyboard of her laptop, as if she was shorthand about the content of the meeting, and the other three white women were also listening intently to Lucy's speech, and from time to time she was jotting down something in her notebook. The expressions of the four were very humble.
Seeing this, Xu Xincheng knew that his guess just now was right, and Lucy was the top boss of the four of them.
---------
The eight people got out of the café, went downstairs, came to the edge of the square, each scanned the code to unlock a shared bicycle, and rode in the direction of the Pearl River.
Along the way, they admired the Guangzhou Opera House, the Second Children's Palace of Guangzhou, and the New Library of Guangzhou, before heading to Linjiang Avenue to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the riverside while cycling on the observation path.
We also got on the bridge, crossed the Pearl River to Haixinsha and Ersha Island, walked around there, and finally, we came to the door of a hotel, parked their bicycles on the side of the road, and got on the business car that had been waiting there for the morning, and they were going to the Tianhe business district to shop before leaving.
They had been here on Tuesday night, but that day there was so little time that they had visited very few places. Today, he wants to take them shopping, and that day, everyone didn't buy anything, and today, he wants to take them to buy enough.
As soon as everyone arrived at the mall, they immediately started shopping spree, and they wanted to buy gifts to give to their relatives and friends. Soon, everyone was carrying several shopping bags, large and small, of course, Xu Xincheng didn't buy anything, and the shopping bags he was carrying were all Rose's.
However, everyone bought too many things, and they knew that the suitcases they brought with them could not fit at all, so they each bought a 28-inch suitcase for loading things.
After having a big suitcase, everyone will let go of their hands and feet, and turn the crazy shopping mode into a hot buying mode, each of them pulls a big suitcase, and sweeps the goods in a burst buying style, Guangcai porcelain, Guangzhou embroidery hanging paintings, tea, etc. are all must-buy items; Guangzhou's special souvenirs, such as chicken cakes, wife cakes, almond cakes, etc., are bought in five packs and ten packs; there are other special items, such as the wood carved Canton Tower, five sheep sculptures, etc., they are also rushing to buy.
After nearly three hours of exploding purchases, everyone's suitcases were full, and everyone was satisfied, but everyone was tired and hungry.
So, Xu Xincheng led everyone to Grandview Plaza and came to another well-known Cantonese restaurant on the sixth floor. This is their last meal before leaving China, so they must eat well.
He ordered eight dishes and one soup, including eight treasures of winter melon cup, Cantonese salt-baked chicken, fragrant and smooth fish balls, sweet and sour grunt pork, Cantonese barbecued pork, and Cantonese cured meat. As soon as the dishes were served, everyone immediately turned on the explosive eating mode, and ate every dish like a storm.
Xu Xincheng noticed that from the moment he saw Lucy at the Red Rose Cafe, Rose's mood had been a little low. Since then, although she still talks and laughs with everyone, especially when she goes to the mall, she also seems very happy and buys a lot of things, but compared with her earlier high emotions, there is still a significant difference, and she no longer asks to take a photo of the two of them with him alone.
However, at this moment, Rose became happy again, and she sighed: "My goodness! I LOVE Chinese food, the food here is the best in the world!""
It seems that food has a very good effect on people all over the world, and Chinese food has a certain effect on depression and depression.
Evening, 21:30.
Xu Xincheng sent everyone to Guangzhou Airport, he assisted them in getting boarding passes, and then sent the seven of them all the way to the security checkpoint of the outbound flight, Peter and others warmly shook hands with him and said goodbye, and thanked him again for his company in the past few days.
Rose's farewell was noticeably warmer than the others, and she was reluctant to say goodbye on the way to the airport.
She leaned up to him and said, "Steve, see you in 4 weeks. I am going to miss you. Please keep in touch with me.” ("Steve, see you in four weeks.") I'll miss you. Please keep in touch with me. ”)
