Chapter 340: Afternoon Tea on the Han River
In the booth in the corner of the restaurant, Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon didn't notice it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoSo between talking and laughing, I also left this restaurant.
As for the people in the booth, although they were very curious, they were very puzzled about Lin Xi's identity. But after all, he is not a newcomer to the circle, and he knows what to be curious about and what to ignore. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with him at all. There are still Kim Taeyeon and Seo Hyun between Lin Xi and Lin Yuna, and he can see this distance very clearly.
It is the nature of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. But people also have some feelings, so after thinking about it a few times. The man finally put down his mobile phone, didn't take pictures, and didn't make any further calls to Lin Yun'er. He lowered his head and continued to eat lunch, as if he had never met Lin Xi and them just now.
Outside, Lin Yun'er, who had already sat back in the car at this time, also took out her mobile phone and took a look. Then bite your lip after seeing a few missed calls above. In the end, I covered the phone, put it in again, and ignored it. Next to him, Xu Xian, who had just opened the car door, also saw this scene. Although he was curious, he didn't ask anything. Once in the driver's seat, fasten your seatbelt, "Ernie, seatbelt." ”
Lin Yun'er, who was reminded, nodded and fastened her seatbelt. Then Xu Xian also started the car, looked at the Babos in front of him, who had already left the parking space, and slowly followed.
Soon after, the two cars entered another parking lot, one after the other. It's just that at this time, they have already come to the underground parking lot of Linxi's apartment.
In another few minutes, under Lin Xi's door, Lin Yun'er and Xu Xian finally entered Lin Xi's apartment for the first time. Following behind Kim Taeyeon, Lin Yuna was already a little puzzled when she looked at the hardcover entrance, "Ernie, is this really a personal apartment assigned by Lin Xi's company?"
"Well, otherwise do you think he would still be able to buy a house here. Kim Taeyeon smiled and nodded.
But then, when Lin Yuna and Xu Xian entered the living room together. After seeing the back-to-back sofas in the living room and the dazzling chandelier overhead, I was directly stunned. They all live in the assigned dormitories, and they are all dormitories assigned by the company, why are the treatments so different? Although I knew that Lin Xi's company was very generous before, I gave this guy a trot as a special car as soon as he came. But now that she saw this dormitory, Lin Yuner realized that the car was simply a small hand.
"Ernie, look. Just when Lin Yun'er was standing at the entrance of the living room, looking at the sofa in the living room and the second floor of the jump. Xu Xian, who was next to her, gently pulled her hand and shifted her gaze to the other side.
It doesn't matter if I turn around, when I see the large floor-to-ceiling window facing behind the double-sided sofa. Lin Yuna is really envious, and there is the unobstructed view of Seoul outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Come on, don't say anything. Seeing Kim Taeyeon's natural walking around the living room and greeting the two of them, Lim Yoona and Seo Hyun also slowly came to the edge of the sofa. At this time, Xu Xian's eyes had already looked at Lin Xi, who had been quiet, "Is this really the house that your company arranged for you?"
This question was also asked by Lin Yun'er just now, and Lin Xi also heard it. It's just that Kim Taeyeon answered, and he was happy to save trouble. Now that Xu Xian asked again, Lin Xi finally couldn't escape, and smiled bitterly, "Well, it was arranged by the company." ”
"Your company is so generous, we have lived in the dormitory for so many years, it is not as good as your apartment. Lin Yuna, who was pulled by Kim Taeyeon to sit on the sofa, pouted, obviously feeling a little depressed compared to the dormitory over there.
Fortunately, Kim Taeyeon stood up at this time and helped Lin Xi explain, "Yun'er, Lin Xi's company and our company are not of the same level. If you compare yourself to him in this way, you will be uncomfortable in the future. If Lin Xi said this, it would feel a little strange, so Kim Taeyeon helped her boyfriend say it. can be regarded as helping Lin Xi relieve the siege, and the corners of his mouth are much calmer.
Indeed, Louis Vuitton and S&M, the two companies are not comparable at all. Even if S&M still stands behind some chaebol gates in South Korea, or some ineffable identities exist. But compared with Louis Vuitton, one of the top ten luxury goods in the world, it is not comparable to the big money in Europe in terms of hierarchy or chaebol status. There is no doubt about this, and it is not a gap that can be erased after Yoro is arrogant.
Let's compare it with the music industry or the entertainment industry, the idol stars here in Seoul, South Korea, have to start here first, and then reach the top of their own side. After that, he crossed the country and went to Japan, the entertainment mecca of Asia, before finally setting foot in Europe and the United States, a place with a global focus. Such a comparison, the people over there, in terms of starting position and level, are not comparable to the circle on this side of Asia.
And so on, in some business terms, too. After all, the financial center of modern society is still dominated by Europe and the United States.
"I know, but I'm still very upset when I see it. Getting up, Lin Yun'er came to the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her. Looking down at Seoul from above, and then looking down at the small streets, cars, pedestrians, and scenery underground. In the end, he sighed enviously, "It's great, if there is such a dormitory to live in, I think Xiuying Oni and the others will definitely not go home to live." ”
Xu Xian also slowly came to Lin Yun'er's side, and after looking below, he didn't agree with Lin Yun'er's words, "I think, whether you go home or not to live has nothing to do with the dormitory." No matter what, it is more convenient and comfortable to live in your own home, and the dormitory is just a dormitory. ”
Behind, Lin Xi, who was about to walk to the refrigerator to drink at this time, and put some things he had just bought from the supermarket into the refrigerator by the way, after hearing Xu Xian's words. His footsteps paused slightly, and then he also nodded, "Yes, Xu Xian, you're right." No matter how luxurious the house is, it is only a dormitory, and it is still very different from your own home, and it can't be compared. After that, he asked, "Do you want something to drink?"
Turning around, Lin Yun'er, who looked at Lin Xi's side, raised her eyebrows, and looked at the wine cabinet next to her, "Are these all the wines you bought yourself?"
"It's a lot, and I brought a few bottles back last time when I went to Paris, and it tasted really good. Xu Xian also noticed the wine cabinet, and Lin Yun'er and Lin Yun'er also came close to visit.
"I've drunk a lot. After walking in, Lin Yun'er and Xu Xian found that behind a box behind the wine cabinet, some empty wine bottles were quietly and neatly placed inside.
"Well, some of them bought themselves, and some of them were given by others. Do you want to drink something, drink or mineral water?" Lin Xi briefly explained, and then asked again.
"Mineral water was good. Lin Yun'er and Xu Xian answered Lin Xi's question in unison. Then, Lin Xi took out two bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator, and handed the two bottles of drinks to Kim Taeyeon, who had already walked here, and waved her hand after seeing that she wanted to take the bag in her hand, "You can accompany them, I'll clean it up." ”
Kim Taeyeon took the water and nodded.
A few minutes later, Lin Xi, who was stuffing things bought from the supermarket into the refrigerator, glanced sideways at the two people who were curiously taking out bottles of wine from the wine cabinet and coming out to look. smiled and followed, "If you like it, take it back and drink it later." Anyway, there are a lot of them here, and I can't drink so much myself. ”
"Really?" Although Lin Yuna and Seo Hyun don't like to drink a little wine like Tiffany, they still have a few drinks occasionally for red wine and wine that can be used for beauty. The wine that Kim Taeyeon got back before was drunk directly in two or three days. It's not much, but it's powerful enough.
So after hearing Lin Xi's words at this time, Lin Yun'er and Xu Xian were also moved. Because they also heard from Kim Taeyeon just now, the wine in the wine cabinet here is much better than outside. There are even some of them that can be ranked as famous wines.
"Well, take it if you like it. Just don't finish it, and save a few bottles for me to satisfy my cravings. Lin Xi, who put down the big words, thought about it for a while, and then left a sentence that made Lin Yuna and Kim Taeyeon laugh.
"You really think we're drunkards, after taking it, we're not people who drink a lot like you. While Xu Xian was smiling, he also glanced at him and whispered.
In the end, Lim Yoona and Seo Hyun didn't take anything from Lin Xi's side, and just took two bottles of the wine they bought with Kim Taeyeon in Paris. In their words, it's the kind of taste that suits them better. The two of them didn't stay long on Lin Xi's side, although they came to rest, but after sitting for less than half an hour, they pulled Kim Taeyeon out of the apartment and went shopping.
With the departure of the three of them, Lin Xi was the only one left in the apartment. Looking at the empty living room, Lin Xi thought of a flash of inspiration that flashed in his mind during lunch just now, so he also went directly into the studio and continued to improve his design draft.
In the blink of an eye, the sun in the sky moved much wester. At this time, the hour and minute hands also form an acute angle of 60 degrees. Lin Xi also received a call that surprised him very much at this time, looking at the number, he slowly sat down on the seat on the side with the paintbrush in his hand, and answered, "Hey." ”
On the edge of the Han River, at the door of a very quiet café, Li Ran was sitting on a chair. With a mobile phone in his ear, he whispered, "It's me, I'm looking for you for something, are you free now?" Judging from the words, it seemed to be a little anxious, but the tone was not so hurried, and it was very gentle.
And listening to Li Ran's words, Lin Xi, who was already a little surprised, was even more puzzled. Because after that runningman's invitation, he and Li Ran never talked on the phone again, let alone met. So at this time, Li Ran's sudden call said that he had something to do with him and was in a hurry to meet, which made Lin Xi really surprised.
However, he still reacted quickly, looked at the design draft that had come out on the table, and responded, "Okay, you can say the location." ”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi soon received the location sent to him by Li Ran. Then he frowned and thought for a few moments, then let out a long sullen breath. Without much thought, he got up and walked out of the studio, grabbed the keys and the wallet he had forgotten before, and went out. Although I don't know what Li Ran is so anxious to find himself, it shouldn't be a bad thing. Even if it's a bad thing, you have to know what it is. Go out and see each other, and we'll see it later.
10 A few minutes later, Lin Xi's car came to the positioning position given by Li Ran. Then he parked the car with some doubts and walked down.
Looking at the seemingly calm Han River in front of you, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging. Lin Xi looked around, looked at some nearby shops, and finally found the name of the café that Li Ran gave him. At the same time, I also saw Li Ran sitting in a position at the door of the café.
At this time, Li Ran over there also saw Lin Xi, and then beckoned to him.
A few steps away, Lin Xi quickly came here, sat opposite Li Ran, and then asked bluntly, "Is there anything wrong with calling me out in such a hurry?"
"Don't be in such a hurry, do you want something to drink?" However, Li Ran, who was still very anxious on the phone just now. At this time, he was much more indifferent, put down the coffee at the corner of his mouth, and asked.
For this situation, Lin Xi must have an urge to beat people. However, he let go of this thought, laughed, turned to the waiter next to him and ordered a cup of coffee, as well as a cookie and a snack. Since people are not in a hurry, then they should come over for afternoon tea, anyway, they have time.
Li Ran naturally understood what Lin Xidian was indicating, but he was not in a hurry. looked at Lin Xi, who had ordered a meal opposite, and was still the calm three faceless.
So just like that, a person who had been in a hurry to call someone out, and a person who was called out in a hurry, sat in front of a café on the Han River very disobediently. Quietly, but very pleasantly, I listened to the jazz music from the café and drank afternoon tea. Occasionally, I also have a few words about some recent news. It seems to be a casual meeting between a pair of long-time friends, old buddies, and old friends, which is really strange.
More than half an hour passed slowly, and more than half of the snacks and cookies were eaten. Li Ran still didn't tell Lin Xi what was going on with him, and Lin Xi didn't ask Li Ran why he was looking for him, so the two sat here and chatted. I don't know if such a situation is considered a stalemate.
At this time, Lin Xi's mobile phone on the desktop rang. Picking it up and looking at the name of the caller, Lin Xi's eyes also casually glanced at Li Ran opposite, and then swiped across the screen and said, "Oh, Taeyeon." ”
"Lin Xi, wait for dinner Yun'er said to eat barbecue, tell you not to make it yourself at home, it will be wasted then. There was some music on the other end of the phone, and there was no noise on the street, it seemed that Kim Taeyeon was shopping with Lim Yoona in the mall. And, after finishing speaking, I didn't forget to ask more, "Also, what are you doing, how do I hear the music?" ”
"Well, got it. Lin Xi nodded and answered softly. Then, he looked at Li Ran, who was also looking at his side, paused, and continued, "It's nothing, I'm drinking afternoon tea with Li Ran, the head of your company." (To be continued.) )
