Chapter 32, Lingnan Spring

I didn't sleep well all night, and the next day I was listless, but I still had to go to work, and I was going to look for Cher after work at noon.

As soon as I entered the studio, Ah Zhen came from the workshop. I was a little caught off guard, she was also the first time to come into my studio alone, I hurriedly found a piece of cloth to cover the painting that was going to be taken to the art exhibition for Lao Zhou, that was the painting that I spent more than a dozen nights working overtime, and I spent a lot of effort on the painting, the figure of the painting is Ah Zhen, and the name of the work is "The Flower of Pengcheng".

It was the first time for Ah Zhen to enter my studio without avoiding suspicion in front of more than 100 female workers in the workshop. When she came in, she blushed and said to me shyly:

"Brother Hanzhe, after getting off work at noon, let's go out for lunch together, just the two of us, I have something to tell you. ā€

I couldn't react for a moment when she hurriedly threw down this sentence, and when I looked up at her, she had turned to close the door, and only threw me a sentimental and slightly melancholy glance. She didn't wait for me to reply, so she hurried back to the workshop, leaving only her beautiful back in front of me.

Ah Zhen's peculiar melancholy eyes left a deep impression on me from the first day I met her at the company. This is unique to Ah Zhen, which will make people feel sad when they see it, and it will inevitably make me wonder: Did she be stimulated by anything? That time I bandaged her fingers in the office building, and her affectionate look and the beautiful image that I remember are still fresh in my life. Ah Zhen's back is the embodiment of beauty in my memory, every time after work, I always follow her, looking at her walking back, that beautiful figure, let me feel good, but also feel comfortable. There are many more of Ah Zhen's various backs in my mind, a lot!

I looked through the floor-to-ceiling glass in the direction of Ah Zhen in the workshop, she just sat down, and also looked at me, and both of them smiled heartily. She was looking at me affectionately with a smiling face, her eyes as if she were talking to me. I gave her an OK gesture, and her face was flushed, as if the flush had penetrated into her hair. She didn't dare to look at me anymore, lowered her head, and got ready for work.

At this moment, extremely complicated chaos began to appear in my mind: Why didn't Dandan come to work today? Why did Ah Zhen suddenly ask me to have lunch at noon? What did she talk to Xue'er about last night? Why did Ah Zhen take the initiative to ask me out for dinner? Isn't she afraid that she will let Xue'er know that neither of us can explain it clearly? Or is she deliberately trying to provoke Xue'er?

I went in and out of the office building a few times and asked the clerk sister Haiying if she had seen Dandan come to work, and Haiying said that she hadn't seen her all morning. I'm anxious, I wish Dandan would appear in front of me now, this little Dandan of the ghost elf, she will reveal some information to me. But this little girl doesn't know where to go? It's really annoying! What about Lao Zhou? Old Zhou, there is no one to see, and all morning, I can't find anyone who can say a word, and I am so depressed that I can't draw patterns. The whole person is as if he has ADHD, but he can't calm down.

Miss Lin saw me go in and out of the office building a few times, then came to my studio, she wore a set of deep square collar, black Xiangyun yarn made of dress, is a splendid family brand, is a very famous high-end brand, Xiangyun yarn is also known as silk, its production process is the national intangible cultural heritage. This is a kind of environmentally friendly original ecological fabric from Daliang, Shunde, Guangdong, which must be made of pure mulberry silk fabric, made by more than 30 handmade processes, without adding any pigments.

Wearing this low-neckline skirt on Mr. Lin's body, half of her breasts was obviously placed in front of my eyes, as if it was intended to be admired, but unfortunately her skinny figure did not have a plump and round charm, such as the chest of the airport, there was nothing to pay attention to, and there was no capital to impress, only a piece of slightly concave and convex flesh was vacated, but the gold necklace was on her white skin, but it was used to shining. I politely beckoned her to sit down, and then smiled at her as I played with the drawings:

"Mr. Lin, today's black dress is very close-fitting and very flattering to you, especially when worn on Mr. Lin's naturally skinny model figure, which is noble and generous, very noble! The smell of this perfume is also just right, really fragrant. ā€

Originally, since I came to the company, I have never said a word of sincerity to Miss Lin, but today I don't have the right words.

"The oil cavity is smooth, it will really make people happy, and it makes people's hearts itch. If you are younger, you may be touched by you. But then again, the dress I wore today was brought from Hong Kong yesterday, and it was a copy of the dress that Anita Mui wore at the concert at the Hong Kong Red Pavilion a few days ago. ā€

Miss Lin said half-coquettishly, and the satisfaction in her heart was fully revealed. After she said that, she also glanced at me and continued: "You are a designer, and your aesthetic vision is different! If I were a few years younger, I would definitely make your heart ripple." But I said Hanzhe, you can't just rely on sweetness, you have to reassure me at work. ā€

Miss Lin's expression was very complicated, and I couldn't read it.

I said: "Mr. Lin, after I came to the company, you know how to work, and if you can't do it, please correct and criticize Mr. Lin, and I will try my best to do my best." ā€

"Yes, yes, very good, the boss has a good evaluation of you, I am also very satisfied, it is a talent, I will promote you if I have the opportunity, so that you have more room for development." Miss Lin's tone of voice was very serious.

I answered her and said, "Thank you! Thank you, Sister Lin, in this way, in the future, I will not call you Mr. Lin in private, can I call you sister? ā€

Miss Lin said cheerfully:

"Okay, I think, in the future, my sister will still have a place to use my brother, my brother must not shirk, find a time and I will take you to meet someone and have a meal together. Miss Lin looked happy.

I said, "Okay, thank you, sister." ā€

At this time, Lao Zhou came in, and Miss Lin said hello to Lao Zhou and went back to the office building. I asked Lao Zhou:

"Why don't you see Dandan? Where did this ghost elf Xiao Nizi go?" Lao Zhou replied that he didn't know either, and then asked me: "Have you finished the painting of the exhibition I told you? I will send it to the organizing committee in two days." ā€

I said, "Almost, I'll tidy it up in the evening and I'll give it to you tomorrow." ā€

Lao Zhou said with satisfaction: "That's okay, I'll pick it up after work tomorrow afternoon." ā€

I looked at Lao Zhou and said, "Okay, you really don't know where Dandan went?"

"I said Han Zhe, being handsome is sometimes a burden! What's wrong? What are you looking for Dandan? I see, Miss Lin has taken a fancy to you too?"

Lao Zhou said in a tone close to yin and yang, and after saying it, he gave me a thumbs up and smiled gloomily.

"Go, go, you dead old Zhou, what are you kidding? she's so old, she's still the boss's...... How is that possible? Shame on me, you are! You damn you. "I looked angry.

Lao Zhou lowered his voice and said:

"She can't, she has a sister who is about the same age as you and looks a hundred times more beautiful than her, it's normal for Mr. Lin to take a fancy to you, she wants to marry her sister to you, it's not necessarily. Lao Zhou left after speaking, and when he closed the door, he threw down a sentence and remember to draw it for him tomorrow.

Lao Zhou's words made my brain even more chaotic all of a sudden!

It's a big deal, Mr. Lin will invite you to eat when she arrives, and I won't go, so as not to be really difficult to explain to Xue'er in the future. If Xue'er knew, she would not be able to wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River! There is no impermeable wall in the world. If I don't go, Ah Zhen won't be happy, besides, I was already bad to her last time, and if I don't go this time, she will feel even more uncomfortable. The reverse is really my fault, alas, it is not to go, it is not to go. Why don't you just have a meal, is it that big deal? I decided, let's go.

Finally got off work, and I was in a hurry all morning.

Ah Zhen waited for me at the door of the company in advance, but Juanhua didn't follow her, obviously we were two people at noon. I wondered: Why didn't Ah Zhen take care of Xue'er, wasn't she afraid that Dandan would tell Xue'er when she saw it. But I didn't think about it that much, but I walked up to her directly, and I said:

"Ah Zhen, let's go, where are we going to eat. ā€

Ah Zhen said: "Go to Lingnan Spring Restaurant, the environment is good, my mother went to eat the day before yesterday, and came back and said that it was very good, let's try it, I have a lot to say to you." ā€

One after the other, the two of us, soon arrived at Lingnan Chun, here in Sha Po Tou Industrial Building, about ten minutes away, this Lingnan Spring Restaurant, at that time in this area and even Pengcheng, is one of the most famous restaurants.

If it weren't for Ah Zhen's treat, I would definitely not take Ah Zhen here to eat authentic Yuelai, because the charges of Lingnan Spring Restaurant are not cheap, and I can only take her to the food stall when I invite her. But Ah Zhen is different, she spends the money she earns every month, so she has the ability to treat me to better dishes.

The architecture and decoration style of Lingnan Spring Restaurant is the standard Lingnan garden style, the small and exquisite garden scenery, according to the garden style of the Ten Fragrance Garden, and there is a corner of it according to the layout of Xiao Yazhai, full of elegant artistic style, winding paths and deep paths, simple and humble stone roads, small bridges and flowing water, carved railings and paintings, all of which reflect the careful layout, ingenious and original.

The two of us asked for a small private room, and the two of us ordered four exquisite snacks and a pot of Poole tea. I looked at Ah Zhen, who was sitting across from me, she was still a little shy, but obviously not as shy as she was on the first date. Of course, from her slightly flushed face and the face that kept smiling, it could be seen that she was very happy in her heart. She washed my teacup, poured me tea, sat down, and looked at me with affection, and we both smiled heartily. Ah Zhen and I both opened their mouths to speak at the same time, but in an instant, both of us stopped after saying only one word at the same time, and both laughed. I waited for Ah Zhen to finish laughing and then said to her:

"Zhen, tell me first, didn't you tell Xue'er that we were going out for dinner, did you? Last time we went on a date, didn't you make you angry? You invited me to dinner today, it seems that there is something really important. ā€

"As long as you are bad, old tormenters, I ignore you. ā€

"Yes, I'm just a bad person, a very bad person! Doesn't the saying that men are not bad, but women are not loved?"

Ah Zhen gave me a blank look and said, "Shameless, you're a bad guy." Then he was a little pretentious, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped, but he still said seriously:

"Good news or bad news?"

I thought for a moment and said, "What's the good news and bad news? Isn't that what you said, you little villain, so you're making a fool of yourself." Then let's hear the good news first. I said and smiled at her.

"The good news is: Sister Xue'er, my mother, my aunt, and Dandan went shopping on Zhongying Street in Sha Tau Kok today, don't worry, no one will disturb us when we eat together. ā€

"No wonder you are so blatant, so high-profile, it turns out that there are no birds in the mountains, and sparrows are king, so what about the bad news?" I asked Ah Zhen pretending to be very scared and curious.

"Bad news... The bad news is... Be... It's—" Ah Zhen stopped talking.

"What's it, don't spit out, there's nothing bad about it, and I haven't done anything bad. ā€

At this time, the waiter brought the snacks we wanted, and Ah Zhen told me to eat the snacks first and said:

"You have to be prepared, bad news will hit you? ā€

She said with a serious face, and her face returned to her peculiar melancholy, her peculiar expression, which I was all too familiar with! When I first arrived at the company, this sentimental girl left a deep impression on me.

I served Ah Zhen a dish, and then said:

"Zhen, let's be born twice once, don't worry too much about me, I'm grateful to you, you're good to me! Let's be happy, shall we? Eat, eat. As for me, it's a big deal to fry youyu, I'm not afraid, the east doesn't fight the west, you can eat there with a mouthful of food. ā€

"Yes, yes, it's fried fish. You have to be prepared, Sister Xue'er came back after seeing her mother last night, she seemed to be in a very heavy mood, and she didn't speak, and then asked me, if you don't work in my uncle's company, what will you do? She... She... She also asked me, asked me if I had a date with you? I didn't answer positively, the two of us didn't talk all night, Sister Xue'er was obviously not very kind to me, Brother Hanzhe, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will leave here, I won't see you, and I'm even more afraid that Sister Xue'er has a misunderstanding, she cried all night last night. ā€

Ah Zhen's face became even more ugly after speaking, and her expression seemed to be like a seriously ill person all of a sudden, and her eyes were dull to see my reaction.

I didn't answer Ah Zhen's words immediately, and I also felt that even if I was fired, it would not be a big deal, and there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, and I had nothing to compromise with them. I sit upright and sit upright, and I can't mix work and personal matters. What's more, I have made a great contribution to the company! Ah Zhen still has a melancholy face, as if she is not happy, but a little dignified. She said:

"I guess, I'm a little worried that my mom will see me on a date, but what did my mom say in front of my aunt? If you're not here, what can I do? Brother Hanzhe, can you not go? Or, tell me when you get there, and I'll follow you. ā€

There was a light rain outside the window at this time, the scene of the rain hitting the plantains, it was originally a little poetic, but the slightly dark sky was just like my mood at this time, I looked out the window in the koi pond, the free fish, suddenly felt, this fish is also good, how happy and comfortable!

The two of them haven't finished a few dim sums yet, or they are not in a good mood to eat. I said to Ah Zhen: "It's nothing, your mother is not wrong, no one is wrong, when I see Xue'er in the evening, just explain, you have something to eat, we have to go to work in the afternoon." It's okay, don't worry, thank you, Jung. ā€

I'm going to wait for Xue'er and them to come back, and find a chance to explain, in fact, I should also choose between Xue'er and Ah Zhen, so as not to cause misunderstandings and harm myself and others!

This meal turned out to be the last Chinese meal for me and Ah Zhen!
