Chapter 264: Birthday
Su Bei doesn't want to let his feelings become a fetters that bind him, but who can do it beyond feelings, he can be as plain as ever, or he can shoulder the burden on his body and become stronger, how can he not be pushed by feelings to break through himself.
"Good Jiangnan" is a special chain restaurant in Jianghai, Chinese and Western food, elegant quality, compared with five-star hotels or seafood buildings a meal costs tens of thousands of yuan, good Jiangnan is suitable for small-scale dinners, exquisite and leisurely petty bourgeois style, is Jiang Tao such a gold collar most often consumed place.
"How many gentlemen?" the waiter walked up to Su Bei, who was sitting down by the window.
"One for now, call your manager. ”
"Manager?" the waiter looked embarrassed, "may I ask sir, where is our service that you are not satisfied with?"
"Oh, it's not, it's a friend's birthday today, so I want to take over the whole restaurant. ”
"Charter?" the waiter turned around and glanced at the entire crowded restaurant, where there were at least dozens of guests dining under the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and even if you wanted to charter the restaurant, you had to book a week in advance, provided you could afford to pay so much. It costs at least 200,000 yuan to charter the entire restaurant for one night in Haojiangnan.
After hearing this, the lobby manager in front of the bar came over like a spring breeze and bowed first, "This gentleman, I am the lobby manager of Hao Jiangnan, you said that the charter may not work today, and we can't damage the interests of other guests just because we want to meet the needs of one of your guests." ”
"What about your boss?" Su Bei knew that they had misunderstood, and he was not looking for the lobby manager, but the general manager.
"Mr. Liao knows us?"
Su Bei shook his head, "Isn't the owner of this restaurant Chen Xuefei?"
The lobby manager looked at Su Bei blankly, feeling that you are talking about my boss's boss's boss.
As far as Subei knows, Lao Chen's real estate and supporting chain hotels and restaurants have done well during his lifetime, and Jianghai Hao Jiangnan chain restaurant has been temporarily managed by Chen Xuefei when the Chen family separated.
"May I ask who your Excellency is?"
"Northern Jiangsu. ”
The lobby manager swallowed wildly, there is no need to call Mr. Liao, and trouble Mr. Chen through Mr. Liao, the business under the Chen consortium, who doesn't know that their Miss Chen and the boss of Xueyan Chinese Medicine have such a leg.
The waiter was secretly surprised in his heart, he was dead, this time he was really dead, and if he offended Chairman Chen's man, would he be fired.
"Mr. Su, can you wait for half an hour, I'll call Mr. Liao and ask him to coordinate. ”
Su Bei shook his head and said: "Don't be so troublesome, there is a bag of broken diamonds here, you go and apologize to the guests at each table, just say that this place is chartered for a birthday at night, so let everyone give face, each person can choose any diamond." ”
Su Bei has never been so expensive, and he has been making excuses in his heart, Jiang Tao is a senior management talent who assisted Liu's Group in overcoming the crisis, and he celebrated Liu Hanyan's birthday for her, which can be regarded as humanistic care.
Several waiters trembled and held two small plates of diamonds, and the people in the restaurant checked out one after another, looking back at the location of Subei, just a month after Christmas, there was Santa Claus who delivered diamonds. The value of a diamond is more than dozens of times that of their meal, and others do want to celebrate their girlfriend's birthday, this kind of favor that takes the benefits, no one will refuse.
However, only one table with the corner of the guest did not move.
Su Bei had already noticed them, acquaintances, didn't go to say hello, just nodded to each other.
Fu Yixin, several colleagues from the TV station and two entrepreneurs are doing a program survey on the consumption psychology of social elites. To a certain extent, Fu Yixin and Jiang Tao are the same kind of people, one is only a learned person, the other is well-communicated, and they are a microcosm of the dream chasers in the dream city of Jianghai.
Jiang Hai's consumption level is so high that TV anchors like Fu Yixin can only buy small houses in the suburbs, and group executives like Jiang Tao can only rent houses.
Northern Jiangsu is still very resistant to Chen Zekai's capital bombardment, and the private capital of Zhejiang businessmen is as high as the hands of the whole country, and even a real estate speculation group attacked, which instantly connected the urban area that Haiya had just built. The snowball is getting bigger and bigger, and the share of real estate is growing along with the bubble to enrich these big conglomerates, and at the same time, it is also integrating private funds.
This time, Chen Xuefei and Liu Xuecheng built the Chengnan Ecological Park, and the biggest bidding opponent was actually her younger brother Chen Zekai, which is enough to show how much money the Chen family has. You must know that even the Begonia Villa where Liu Hanyan lives was built by Lao Chen 20 years ago.
Su Bei's fingers rhythmically tapped the gift box prepared for Jiang Tao, and a trace of obscurity flashed in his eyes. Zhao Kunpeng, Li Qingyun, Bai Xuanye, and even Ye Lingfeng, the contradictions of these Yanjing people are intertwined, which invisibly promotes him and Bai Xuanye to turn hostility into friendship.
One thing is certain, Bai Xuanye has also been very tacit recently, and seems to have given up the Jianghai expansion strategy. But this does not mean that Chen Zekai is easy to deal with, in public and private, Northern Jiangsu hopes that Chen Xuefei defeated Chen Zekai, and Nanchuan Industrial Park is also very important to Miracle Group.
"Mr. Su, which lady is so lucky that Mr. Su can celebrate her birthday in person?" Fu Yixin came uninvited, and went to the opposite side of Subei, and the colleagues and entrepreneurs of the TV station said hello to Subei and left very interestingly.
"Don't be sour, just a friend. By the way, I asked you to send you a New Year's gift for the past, did you receive it? Su Bei poured Fu Yixin a cup of Biluochun that had just been rushed.
"Hmph, at the end of the year, there are countless people who have won over us, the host and reporter, all hoping to have a good relationship with us, the so-called uncrowned kings. You're the only one who offended me!" Fu Yixin said.
Su Bei shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "I personally brought back those mountain goods from Hui Province, to be honest, only your share, not even our family." ”
"Really?" A day ago, Fu Yixin was sullen at a bunch of green vegetables and radish sustenances, she really didn't expect that the New Year's gift prepared for her by Northern Jiangsu for the New Year was a bunch of sweet potatoes.
"Of course. "Of course it's fake, the New Year's big delivery of the public relations department of Miracle Group, every employee has it at home, and the rest is sent to friends in this circle. However, a proper lie can make these female animals who rely on hearing to eat let themselves go.
"Then I won't bother you, as for this diamond, let's keep it and go home and smash the walnuts, I've never seen you give a gift to a woman like this, show me what gift you have prepared." Fu Yixin pouted, what a happy thing it would be to have dinner with a man who loves each other on this snowy night.
Su Bei was speechless for a while, so he had to hand her the gift box.
"Perfume? Yo Subei, it turns out that you don't understand women, it's still a wishing elf series, isn't it cheap?"
"When you celebrate your birthday, I'll give you a pound. "Subei is convinced.
"This is what you said, don't regret it, my birthday is the ninth day of the first month, if you don't give me a ......" Fu Yixin whispered in his ear something that made Subei extremely embarrassed, "I'll cuckold you." ”
"Okay, okay, my friend is coming, you quickly withdraw, don't poke my tires sincerely here. ”
Fu Yixin smiled, took a brown Prada bag in his hand and left, this nerd in northern Jiangsu, do you really think that the ninth day of the first lunar month is your birthday, the ninth day of the first lunar month is February 14 of the Gregorian calendar, Valentine's Day. The festival of February 14 seems to be designed for Fu Yixin, Valentine's Day is not a wife's day or a love day, it is a foreign product, she knows that she and Subei have no results, and she is not even a third party, thinking of this, Fu Yixin showed a sour smile, is it possible that the two of them have no feelings at all, only to act on the spot and take what they need.
Jiang Tao got out of the taxi, wrapped in a wide down jacket, she didn't wear makeup or any special clothes, and walked into this restaurant with a weird atmosphere with no face.
When Jiang Tao just came in, the crystal chandelier was extinguished at once, replaced by dim candlelight, and a quiet piano music, and a waiter in a tuxedo led Jiang Tao to the location of northern Jiangsu.
This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time. Everyone will have such an unforgettable emotional experience, even if there is no vow, it will engrave an indelible cloud of sorrow in their hearts. Jiang Tao is very sincere and afraid of this former relationship, every time it is like the first time, every time it is like the last time, and the bitter feeling makes her willing to be a coward on the love field.
"The chairman is right, burn one. Jiang Tao broke the silence and made a joke in a slightly hoarse neutral voice, but there is no woman who doesn't like such an environment. It's just that how moving, serene and quiet there is at this time, how much sorrow there is in my heart.
The candlelight blurs the shadows of the two people, and the reason why the candlelight dinner is used as a killer feature for marriage proposals is precisely because of this, at this time, both men and women remove the mask of reason, and the joys and sorrows are controlled at will.
Su Bei picked up a blue crystal champagne glass, handed another pink bohemian goblet to Jiang Tao, stared at her and said, "Happy birthday." ”
"This is for me?" Jiang Tao picked up the perfume on the table.
"If you don't like it, you can give it away, I'm more amateur to this thing, just to see which one is more expensive and which one I bought for you, hehe, it's a bit of a nouveau riche style. ”
Jiang Tao smiled in a trance, from the moment she entered the restaurant, she suspected that she had a ridiculous dream, happiness came with a feeling of heartbreak, she knew that even Liu Hanyan had never enjoyed this kind of treatment, but the more carefully Su Bei did it, the more he had to distance himself from him, and this meal looked like the last supper.
She is not a fragile woman, her family is not ordinary, and her job and future are very good. Compared with the previous workplace struggle, when I had to face all kinds of entertainment and gossip, my life is much better now.
"Don't keep a straight face, today is your birthday, if it weren't for waiting for your birthday, I would be on the Yunnan-Myanmar border now. ”
"Is a birthday really so important?"
Su Bei put down the wine glass that had been held for a long time, narrowed his black eyes and looked at the faint candlelight in confusion, "Important, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back from this trip to Yunmei." ”
Su Bei's indifferent tone made Jiang Tao's heart chuckle for a moment, she knew that behind Su Bei's business success, he was facing dangers that ordinary people could not understand.
