Chapter 41 Seducing the Heart with Heart
The dark sky implied that rain and snow were coming, and another gust of wind blew, and the dust and gravel in the sky were all blocked from the huge floor-to-ceiling glass wall on the first floor of the exchange, and it was not difficult to see two figures standing inside through the thick glass. Lu Qi suddenly realized, "I'm wondering why this guy would give me such a large list at once, it turns out that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink?"
Beitangmo didn't say a word, watched Lin Zien get into Huo Jingchen's car, and secretly thought: No wonder he gave himself a mansion with a lot of money, it turned out that Huo Dashao sent himself as a favor to please Mr. Lin!
---------
When Huo Jingchen drove Lin Zien to the lunch place "Park Hyatt" restaurant, it was the peak period of dining, and as soon as the two of them walked to the door, someone came up and pulled the door to lead the way.
Lin Zien felt that Huo Jingchen must have booked a place in advance. Because "Park Hyatt" is a global chain of five-star French restaurants, located on the top floor of the highest building in the Jiangnan Financial and Trade Center, not only the price is expensive, but if you need to dine, you must make a reservation in advance, she and Huo Jingyan have been to eat a few times after returning to China, but this place is too luxurious, she doesn't like the dining environment very much, and then she doesn't come often.
Sure enough, they were ushered into a very elegant seat by the servant, and when they looked up, they could see the lake and mountains outside the window.
sat down, Huo Jingchen helped her hang up her coat, and her own coat was also hung aside, took the waiter and handed her the menu, and naturally asked her what she liked to eat.
As the person who invited guests today, it was reasonable for Lin Zien not to order his favorite dishes, but only said that he would order them casually. Huo Jingchen seemed to know what she meant, so he didn't be polite anymore, and only whispered a few words to the waiter standing beside him, and the waiter nodded and put away the menu and wine list and left.
Soon, a bottle of pre-dinner aperitif, slices of bread, and a small plate of caviar arrived.
Lin Zien took a piece of bread, tore it into small pieces, scooped up some caviar with a special shell spoon and smeared it on it, tasted it elegantly, and couldn't help but show a trace of surprise on his face, "Almas caviar?"
Huo Jingchen smiled and nodded. It seems that he guessed her taste correctly.
When he met someone who loved to eat, Lin Zien couldn't help but be interested, and dug some caviar, gently spread it on the tongue, and slowly crushed the caviar one by one with the tip of the tongue. Pushing the resistance, but it is the restraint of this millisecond, which makes people feel very worried, and then, the elegant and delicate breath escapes between the lips and teeth, and then looks at the wine glass at hand, the transparent liquid reflects an attractive luster in it - she guessed that it should be vodka, in fact, vodka and caviar are a perfect match, but at this moment, ...... Her eyes flickered with hesitation, but in the end she didn't touch the cup.
Huo Jingchen took in all her movements, and in order to dilute her doubts, she chose a light topic, "Yesterday, I passed by Gushan and saw plum blossoms blooming. ”
"Lonely Mountain Tanmei needs snow to have a taste. After speaking, she looked around casually, the decoration of this restaurant is very distinctive, Western art integrates traditional Chinese culture, but the business is really good, from time to time I see waiters leading well-dressed men and women into the seats, but it didn't take long for her to feel a little aesthetically tired, so she turned her head to look out the window.
Outside the window, it was gloomy and rainy, but there was no snow.
Huo Jingchen understood what she meant, so he didn't continue this kind of topic, just smiled and took a sip of wine, and when the appetizer came up, he opened the topic and said some inside information about the upcoming situation in the financial circle, which successfully attracted her attention back.
However, he soon found that Lin Zien's news seemed to be different from the financial people he had contacted in the past, but he purely expressed some personal opinions, which were incisive and accurate, and some of the ideas were clearer than Beitang, but she didn't care about those news, and even the secret news of listed companies deliberately revealed in his words was just heard and forgotten, without even a trace of curiosity, which was really inconsistent with her status as a professional financial person.
During the conversation, a waiter came to serve the main dish for the two, Lin Zien's side was a top-quality steak, Huo Jingchen's side was a lamb chop, and the wine glasses of the two were changed. Lin Zien watched the waiter pour a little red wine into his wine glass, and his face couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment.
When Huo Jingchen saw it, he asked, "Don't like this kind of wine?"
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I have some skin allergies these days......" Before she finished speaking, she heard Huo Jingchen interrupt her softly, "I'm sorry, I was negligent." With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the waiter to remove the bottle of wine.
Lin Zien didn't expect Huo Jingchen's reaction to be so direct, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment - when she didn't want to drink, she would usually use the excuse that she had skin allergies, and the men she had met who had eaten together, even Chu Ce and Huo Jingyan, only helped her order another drink, instead of directly removing the drink, this kind of thoughtfulness surprised her...... couldn't help but look up at the other side, it happened that Huo Jingchen was also looking at her, looking at each other, Lin Zien only felt that his gaze was unfathomable, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth...... His cheeks were hot, and he couldn't help but feel cramped, and he hurriedly lowered his head and picked up the knife and fork in disguise, preparing to cut the steak.
Huo Jingchen also picked up the cutlery at the same time, but instead of touching the lamb chop in front of him, his eyes fell on Lin Zien's side, "The front of your left arm has been injured, so you shouldn't use force, so I'll help you cut it." Without waiting for her to react, he reached out and took her share of the steak and carefully cut it into small pieces.
It's been a long time since the injury, so long that she can't even remember it, and he not only remembered but also made such a considerate act in public, what does this mean? Lin Zien's heart beat like a drum, he didn't dare or wanted to think deeply, he only held the knife and fork in a daze, opened his mouth, wanted to say but didn't know what to say.
"You didn't look at the menu just now, what's the matter, don't you like this restaurant?" Huo Jingchen cut the steak in the plate into small pieces and handed it to her, and then found a topic.
Lin Zien, who prides himself on being the most rational and calm, only to realize that rationality is not omnipotent at this moment, she was a little flustered, she didn't have time to think about it, she only instinctively replied, "No, the environment and desserts here are first-class, but when it comes to steak......" She suddenly stopped and didn't say any more.
"What's wrong with the steak?" Huo Jingchen deliberately led her to follow his train of thought in order to relieve the tension caused by the confession, and saw that her tone of voice when talking about steak seemed to hide the latter sentence, and she couldn't help but smile in her eyes. "Tell me?"
