Chapter 146: It Was Him
"No...... No, you might as well keep going. Li Weixi hurriedly grasped the placket of his shirt nervously and sat up a little straighter, "I also want to see what kind of restaurant Mr. Tom has chosen." ”
"Well, you won't be disappointed. With a low chuckle, Tom stepped on the accelerator and made the car move forward quickly, no longer teasing Li Weixi.
Five minutes later, they stopped in front of a store.
It is a restaurant that looks very old, and judging by the materials of the building, it does not look like a deliberately old modern design, but it should be a restaurant that has been handed down from a long time ago.
Li Weixi couldn't help but touch the brick when he entered the door, and he could still feel a trace of slippery feeling on it, it should have grown over moss and had just been cleaned up by the owner's house.
As soon as you enter the store, you will feel even more quaint, and with the dim lighting and jazz music, you will feel as if you have traveled back in time.
Li Weixi touched a wooden chair and sat down, looked around curiously, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect there to be such a restaurant here, didn't it mean that this place was contracted down decades ago, and the old buildings were destroyed?"
"But only this one store remained. Tom poured her a cup of coffee, took out a tissue and carefully wiped down the front of her desk, "This is a friend of mine's maternal grandfather left him, when the developer wanted to demolish this shop, his grandfather spent a lot of money to keep this shop, and has been using it as a private collection, but unfortunately, he passed away two years ago, and gave the shop to his grandson, that is, my friend, this friend is not interested in the family business, with this store, he simply found an excuse to come out and make a restaurant." ”
"I see. Li Weixi can't hide her love for this restaurant, she prefers such an authentic and quaint shop to the modern design, as if there is a kind of magic that can make people settle down and think quietly.
"Hey, Tom, the guy just said that when I saw you, I thought he lied to me, but I didn't expect it to be you, and a woman with him. ”
A somewhat familiar voice sounded near Tom, and because the light was so dim, Li Weixi couldn't see the appearance of the person standing, and could only see that he was slender.
"Why, can't I come?" said Tom, who seemed familiar with him, and his tone was so familiar that only his closest friends had, "bring out all the delicious food in your shop and give us a taste, and you can pay for us." ”
"This is not good, you do this every time you come, our store will be eaten by you, and you also brought a female companion today, how can you show your demeanor, in order to fulfill you, I will double the price." ”
The man teased Tom in a light-hearted voice, took a few steps forward, and gradually stepped out of the shadows.
When he saw the woman Tom brought, he was a little surprised: "Li Weixi?"
"Lu Shao?"
Li Weixi also agreed to be surprised, but he didn't expect that the person Tom was talking about turned out to be the son of Shengshi Group, Lu Luan.
But didn't Tom say he didn't care about the family business?
Understanding the meaning of the doubts in her eyes, Lu Luan smiled, "This cooperation with your TK is said to be a project, in fact, I want to give him a gift on my grandfather's death day, it just so happens that the company wants to do a jewelry project, and I also happen to want to give my grandfather a piece of jewelry, so I participated." ”
"But why does it have to be jewelry? If you don't like working in Shengshi, you can prepare other gifts, right?"
"Miss Li, you are very sensitive. Lu Luan narrowed his eyes slightly, sat down in another empty seat, and urged Tom to pour himself a cup of coffee, "It's true that as you said, I can choose other things, or I can buy a piece of jewelry as a gift, but the reason why I'm so persistent is because I want to find the best designer to design for my grandfather, and I once heard a story from him." ”
"When he was young, he promised his grandmother to give her a piece of jewelry that is unique in the world, but when he was creating, something happened to his grandmother's family and the family moved abroad, and the two of them were engaged at that time, just waiting for the grandfather's design to come out, and the two of them got married, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen. Later, I heard my uncle and grandfather say that in fact, all of them were looking for their grandfather for a while, but when my grandfather was designing a thing, he liked to go alone to a place where no one could find it to think about creation, and he couldn't find his grandmother, but he learned that he was pregnant, and in order for the child to be born smoothly, she could only go abroad with the family to avoid the limelight, and wanted to give birth to the child and then come back to find the grandfather, but unfortunately, the grandmother died in childbirth when giving birth, and when the grandfather came back, it was too late. ”
When he learned the truth, he smashed a set of jewelry he had designed in a fit of rage, went abroad, and guarded his grandmother's grave every day, this store was the only thing he bought for his livelihood, and it was the only thing he kept to collect all the things his grandmother had during her lifetime, and later, on his deathbed, he told me that the most regrettable thing in his life was to drop the jewelry he designed, because that was his promise to his grandmother. ”
"So, are you trying to make up for your grandfather's regrets?"
"Not bad. Lu Luan nodded, "I have always had a good relationship with my grandfather, and I would like to help him realize his last wish, and the reason why I told Miss Li the story is that I hope you can understand the sustenance, and I believe that you will design the same jewelry as back then." ”
"Do you have any design drawings?"
"No, my grandfather ruined everything at that time, and I never talked about it since. ”
"Ahh Li Weixi frowned slightly, a little embarrassed, "Without design drawings, how can you make exactly the same jewelry?" I really can't do Lu Shao's request, and this is a project of two companies, you just tell me, it won't help." ”
"My request is the request of our Shengshi, this project is my sole responsibility, you don't have to worry about this, in addition, I am not asking for the same appearance, but the idea it is placed on, maybe it is difficult for me to say this, but I hope Miss Li can try it. ”
"This ......"
"I said, Luan, we're here for dinner, not to give you a chance to talk about business. Tom unceremoniously interrupted the two of them, with obvious dissatisfaction on his face, "That's pretty much it, let's talk about the rest when you have a meeting, hurry up and serve the food." ”
"Alright, alright, I got it. Lu Luan raised his hands helplessly, pulled over the menu and drew casually, glanced at Tom and threw it to Li Weixi, "These are what that guy likes to eat, Miss Li take a look at what else you need, don't be polite, just order, I'll treat you." ”
