"Brother Kai, the useful information is here, take a look. Zheng Yufei took the folder and opened it and put it in front of Zhang Kai, who was sitting on the sofa.

Zhang Kai took it and looked at it, the place of work is on the third floor of Baolong Plaza, usually after work will go to a café opened downstairs, go in and sit for a while to drink a glass of fruity milk, or something else, Saturday night will go over to order a glass of free Cuba, and then chat with the proprietress while drinking, every time I go by myself, I like to watch movies, like European and American music, American life, etc., is a European and American control, but my English level is limited, so I appreciate people who are good at English, and my wish is to live an American life in the movie, which feels romantic and perfect。

Zhang Kai looked at these materials and said that it was really a child's idea, but now many people are like this, the foreign moon is relatively round, and he is okay in English, and he can say a few words, for the sake of safety, let Zheng Yufei tutor him, the two practiced a conversation, and practiced for a long time, in fact, Zhang Kai practiced for a long time, for Zheng Yufei, it was the same as ordinary daily speech and communication, there was nothing worth practicing.

After practicing many times, everything went smoothly, and finally on this day, I calculated the time and went to the café, Zhang Kai sat down and ordered a glass of whiskey sour, after all, it is a coffee shop, and there are fewer varieties of wine, and my heart said that it was almost, Li Qiqi should be coming soon, and took a sip of wine, the proprietress looked at Zhang Kai, and said what is this person doing? Wearing a full suit, shirt or French cufflink shirt, judging from the fold of the pocket towel, this should be a senior manager of the company, but it looks quite young, maybe not, maybe just love to wear clothes like this?

was pondering, Li Qiqi walked in, also sat at the bar, and Zhang Kai was very close, as soon as he walked in, he noticed Zhang Kai, because when he pursued Zhang Kai a few years ago, Zhang Kai's dress was also like this, mainly because the hair was more conspicuous, this French rice dumpling color is not a common hair color, walked to the side and sat down, looked at Zhang Kai obliquely, and found that it was Zhang Kai after the heart was a little excited, although he said that he had not seen him for more than two years, but he had been worried, after all, he liked people, he was politely rejected at the beginning, it was a pity, but he still had some ideas, and after sitting down today, he found that Zhang Kai was sitting next to him, and he didn't even dare to breathe hard, and he didn't dare to say it out loud。

The proprietress smiled when she saw her coming and said, "Do you want to drink milk?" Li Qiqi nodded, and looked at Zhang Kai with her spare eyes, Zhang Kai did not look at her, but stared at the mobile phone, as if waiting for someone's news and calls, her brows were tightly locked, holding a wine glass in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, her eyes were staring at the screen that had been extinguished in a daze, and she sighed from time to time.

Li Qiqi's milk was ready, the proprietress put it in front of her, Li Qiqi picked it up and took a sip, deliberately leaned back when she drank it, and then looked at Zhang Kai, the proprietress just saw this scene, and when she saw Li Qiqi who had been staring at Zhang Kai, she couldn't help laughing. Li Qiqi noticed it and quickly smiled and frowned and shook her head, indicating that what you thought was wrong, it didn't mean that.

Zhang Kai could see the reflected pictures from the blackened mobile phone screen, but he didn't say anything, pressed the on/off button of the mobile phone, unlocked it, found a Zhao Tiande's phone and dialed it and said: "I'm outside, I may go back to the company later, you can get off work first if you're fine." This is a code, signaling Zheng Yufei to call in 1 minute, and at this time, the name of Zheng Yufei's contact in Zhang Kai's mobile phone has become Eve.

Zhang Kai stood up and walked to the bathroom, and as soon as he entered, Li Qiqi said to the proprietress: "I know him!! Lin Lingze!! he didn't recognize me, he didn't see me." The proprietress smiled and asked, "Why don't you say hello when you know you?" Li Qiqi blushed all of a sudden and said, "There have been some things between us before, so I'm sorry, and I also want to make sure it's him." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Kai came out, Zhang Kai went to the bathroom just to wash his hands, because his purpose was to get his hands wet.

Zhang Kai walked out and looked at Li Qiqi, pretending to have just seen it and said, "Long time no see." Li Qiqi laughed out loud and said, "Yes, do you remember me? I haven't seen each other for so long." Zhang Kai walked to the bar and sat down before he could speak, the mobile phone rang, and it prompted Eve, Zhang Kai raised his hand, there was water in both hands, pretended to look around in a panic, and said to Li Qiqi: "Do me a favor, connect, and then press the speakerphone, I have water in my hands." Li Qiqi connected it, pressed the hands-free again, and then Zheng Yufei's voice came out.

“Hello Nick，I'm so sorry，Harry was called away on an emergency.and rather than risk canceling on someone so important，he asked that I stand in.” I'm sorry that Harry has something to attend to, but I can't cancel a meeting with a big client like you, so I'll be there.

“okay，I must be crazy to be disappointed. I'm sure you had a hard time keeping this seat empty，but this conversation is best for Harry.” Okay, how could I be disappointed with a beautiful woman like you. I'm sure you've turned down a lot of other men who want to get close to you. But it's better to talk to Harry about this matter.

“Certainly，I just... I just... Pleasure to meet you.” Of course, it's just... It's just that... Nice to meet you.

"You as well" I'm also glad to meet you.

The phone hung up, Zhang Kai pretended to be very unhappy, picked up the wine glass and dried it up, and then said to the proprietress: "Excuse me. Could I get a splash of whiskey in this?” Excuse me, can you bring me some whiskey? The proprietress looked at Zhang Kai and didn't react, Zhang Kai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, can you please give me another drink." ”

The old helper poured wine, and Li Qiqi looked at Zhang Kai and said, "I didn't know that you were so good at English." Zhang Kai smiled and picked up the wine glass and said, "Maybe it's because we've never chatted quietly." Li Qiqi looked at Zhang Kai and said with a smirk: "Yes, you are so busy, busy man, are you still over there?" Zhang Kai shook his head and said: "It's long gone, I'm doing antique collection now, and there is a consortium to support overseas, and these domestic antiques are sold overseas at a high price, for those rich people to collect and display, and now this job is much freer than before." ”

Li Qiqi began to think about a lot of things in her heart, most of them are unreliable things that will not happen, Li Qiqi said: "Then you are so free now, is there more time." Zhang Kai smiled and nodded, and Li Qiqi continued: "Then if I invite you to dinner now, you can't refuse." Zhang Kai took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I should invite you to dinner, how about this Saturday night?" Li Qiqi nodded and took out her mobile phone to ask for a call on WeChat.

Zhang Kai gave a call, didn't give WeChat, paid the money and left, Li Qiqi was happy, Zhang Kai was also quite surprised, I didn't expect Li Qiqi to be interesting to herself now, and I felt a little guilty.

Back in the office, Zheng Yufei and Zhao Tiande surrounded him and asked, "How is it?" Zhang Kai smiled and walked to the sofa, poured a glass of wine for himself, picked it up and raised it and said, "Celebrate, I'll go to dinner with her on Saturday night." ”

Zhao Tiande happily opened a bottle of beer and touched a glass with Zhang Kai, and Zheng Yufei went to work on something else.

On Saturday night, the two went to a Western-style restaurant, because Zhang Kai knew that Li Qiqi liked this kind of place, but she didn't come much and didn't have much chance, so she took this opportunity to make her girl's heart burst.

As soon as he entered, Zhang Kai treated Li Qiqi with the set he was familiar with, pulled a stool for Li Qiqi, and chatted in a gentle tone, Li Qiqi looked here, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and said to Zhang Kai: "I have seen this place several times before, and I have always wanted to come to have no chance, I heard that it is very difficult to locate, and there are always people queuing at the door, how did you settle in place so smoothly?" Zhang Kai smiled and said: "I know some people in this store, so they are willing to help me with this." (Actually, Li Wenxing knew the manager of this store, and he had planned to come here in advance, so he had already made an appointment, and it was reasonable to be able to come here.) ）

After the two finished ordering, Li Qiqi looked at Zhang Kai with her cheeks and said:

"How are you doing this time?"

"Okay, what about you?"

"I'm still daydreaming all day like before. ”

Zhang Kai smiled and said, "Let's hear it." ”

"It's something that doesn't happen in everyday life, but once in a while, a dream comes true. ”

"For example?"

"For example, you'd like to eat alone with me. ”

This sentence made me feel that I should invite you out to dinner more in the future. ”

"Then I'll invite you out for coffee later. ”

"It's better for you to drink coffee, and I'll drink. ”

"Whatever, as long as you want. ”

"Of course I do. ”

Zhang Kai always looked at Li Qiqi with a smile, and looked at Li Qiqi embarrassed, Li Qiqi said in order to relieve it: "What are you doing now?"

Zhang Kai looked at Li Qiqi and said: "I said last time, I am selling Chinese antiques and collectibles overseas, and it may be worth 100,000 yuan to sell it to China, and it is worth 150,000 yuan to sell abroad, so now more and more people are coming to people like me to resell abroad." Li Qiqi nodded and said:

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, if I had, I wouldn't have eaten alone with other women. ”

"I didn't expect you to be so single-minded. ”

"I think it's normal. ”

"Have there been any people chasing you lately?"

"Yes. ”

"Oh, it's so charming. ”

"You have won the prize, how can you be charming. ”

"I'm very charming, so why did I chase you before, and you didn't agree?"

"Because, I don't even know your name, how old you are, school or work, I don't know the specifics, you greet me, that was the first time I saw you, and then your friend is still something, come up and ask me if I have a girlfriend, I instinctively ask what your friend wants to do? Then she pulled you in front of me and told me that my best friend likes you, can you be her boyfriend? What else can I say, and you didn't give me a chance to let us know each other first, you just ran away. Later, your friend told me that once I had time to go out for a meal together, I said first find a chance to chat and get acquainted, your friend said okay, but unfortunately later work problems, did not have the opportunity to meet. You and I have met once, and you have run away. ”

"I felt very embarrassed at the time, you think it's the first time we've met, but we've met a lot of times, and you just don't know it. ”

"At that time, I was so focused on my work that I probably didn't notice the people around me. ”

"Then you've got time to notice now. ”

"I've been watching you all night. ”

Li Qiqi blushed and lowered her head and laughed when she heard it, and began to serve the food one after another, the two began to eat, Zhang Kai ordered a bottle of red wine, Li Qiqi rarely drank red wine, and drank beer or twice with the adults at home, as well as white wine, the amount of alcohol is not particularly good, you can drink it, when you order wine, Zhang Kai said: "What to drink? red wine, drink? or something else?" Li Qiqi wanted to say drink drinks, but when she opened her mouth, it became: "Red wine." "Now that the wine is up, isn't it too inappropriate to say not to drink at this time? Li Qiqi said in her heart that she should bear with it.

Although Li Qiqi's feeling about red wine is sour, astringent and bitter, but because Zhang Kai is very interested in red wine, he ordered an Italian Braquedo low-alcohol sweet red sparkling wine (this wine tastes sweet, full and round, the red sweet aroma of roses, cranberries, raspberries, and the faint aroma of roses makes people feel very pleasant in the mouth, and the sweet taste is irresistible, especially for women.) ）

When ordering this wine, Zhang Kai glanced at the staff in the store, and after finding that there was no sommelier, he told the waiter who was ordering his food and said: "Before you trouble this wine, control the temperature of the wine first, about 8 degrees, and then you don't need to decant the wine, thank you." ”

Li Qiqi looked at Zhang Kai and said, "Didn't you say that wine should be decanted?"

Zhang Kai shook his head and said: "Only the wine with heavier tannin and some top wine need to be decanted, the top wine has a complex flavor and needs oxygen to change, the wine I ordered is a sweet red wine, it doesn't need to be decanted, it is ordered for you." ”

After the wine came up, the waiter poured two glasses and Zhang Kai said, "Thank you, I'll just come to the rest, it's hard work." The waiter smiled and nodded and left, Li Qiqi picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zhang Kai, Li Qiqi looked at the cup when clinking glasses, but Zhang Kai looked at Li Qiqi, Li Qiqi didn't notice it at first, only found out after touching it, and then quickly took a sip to hide his inner feelings.

After taking a sip, Li Qiqi was full of praise for it, and then she realized that her understanding of wine was wrong, and she wanted to drink another glass, but she was embarrassed to take the initiative to pour it, so she started to eat first.

An hour and a half later, the meal was finished, the wine was empty, Li Qiqi felt unfinished, so he took the initiative to ask Zhang Kai if there was any similar wine, Zhang Kai knew that he hadn't drunk enough, so he ordered a bottle of Austrian Riesling ice wine, this wine can be regarded as the top representative of the small sweet water series of wines, the sweetness and acidity have reached the limit of the wine, as soon as the bottle is opened, there is a smell of canned yellow peaches, and then take a sip It feels like there is jam made of oranges and honey inside, the taste is sweet and sour, the temperature is controlled at about 6-8 degrees, and there is no need to decant the wine, Li Qiqi prefers this wine, Zhang Kai has said several times that you slow down, you slow down。

But Li Qiqi couldn't stop the car at all, she drank all three and two drinks, Zhang Kai was bleeding in his heart, he knew that he would order the dry red and dry white one, not this kind of small sweet water series, he didn't drink much, he let her drink it all, but seeing that she is almost like this now, she is a little dizzy, so let's stop here.

Zhang Kai settled the account and motioned for Li Qiqi to go, Li Qiqi said okay, stood up crookedly, the two walked out of the door, Li Qiqi hugged Zhang Kai's arm, his head and body were also tightly leaning on Zhang Kai's body, his eyes were closed, and his mouth said: "Is there more, is there more?" Zhang Kaixin said that this drunkard is more alcoholic than me.

has been helping Li Qiqi and sending Li Qiqi home, although he knew where Li Qiqi's house was, he still pretended to ask, and then sent Li Qiqi home, and rang the doorbell at the door of Li Qiqi's house, Li Qiqi's father came to open the door, and saw Zhang Kai and his daughter standing at the door stunned, but he still let him in first, and after putting Li Qiqi in Li Qiqi's room with Zhang Kai, he closed the door and came out, and asked Zhang Kai what was going on, Zhang Kai asked Li Lei first? Brother Li replied that he went out to drink with his friends, so Zhang Kai told him about the back and forth, and also said about Li Lei going to his own company, Brother Li sighed and felt sad.

Zhang Kai said something to Brother Li, agreed on some schemes, everything came according to what Zhang Kai said, and then Zhang Kai left, Zhang Kai arrived at a hotel at noon the next day, Brother Li took his daughter and Li Qiqi to go together, Li Qiqi was reluctant at first, and when he arrived, he found that Zhang Kai also came, and he was shocked.

After the two met, Brother Li walked away first as promised, went to order food, and then Li Qiqi asked Zhang Kai what was going on, Zhang Kai said: "Yesterday you were drunk, I sent you home, your father saw me, and treated me as your boyfriend, so he said that he wanted to invite me to dinner at noon today." ”

"How do you know about my house?"

"You told me about it last night when you drank. ”

As he was talking, Brother Li came back, Li Qiqi didn't drink at noon, Zhang Kai drank with Brother Li, drank and drank, Brother Li entered the state, and began to pour bitter water according to Zhang Kai's instructions, first expressing his love for his youngest daughter Li Qiqi, showing some of his own things, talking and using true feelings, Li Qiqi was also sad next to him, 11.20 at noon, and it didn't end until 1.40 in the afternoon, Zhang Kai and Li Qiqi carried Brother Li home, put him on the bed, and the two went to the living room to chat, during this time Li Qiqi's brother Li Lei has not appeared.

Zhang Kai said to Li Qiqi: "Yesterday you were drunk, I carried you back, today your father was drunk, I carried your father back again, it seems that your family is drunk is genetic." ”

"No, my dad used to be quite able to drink, and I don't know what's wrong today?"

"People are especially easy to get drunk when they are sad or excited, you were excited last night, and your dad is obviously sad. ”

"Sad about what?"

"Your father said that there were two gadgets in your family that were stolen by your brother, and he originally planned to pass them on to you when you got married, but he didn't dare to tell you, because according to the family tradition, it should be passed on to the son, not to the daughter, but your father loves you too much, so he wants to give it to you, but now that the things are gone, he feels sorry for you, and he can't call the police, because it is his family's business, I heard your father say this, it's really sad, because I know, you took it, do you remember? ”

"Ahh ”

"The rest doesn't matter, I'm angry that your dad is going to find you a stepmother again, right, you said it last night. ”

"Then you should know that I just can't accept it for a while, and it may be fine in the future, but now I really don't know what to do. ”

"I'm actually an outsider, I don't have any qualifications to blame you, and I don't want to do this, but I think it's like you said, you can't accept it for a while, it's angry, everyone has a willful time, not to mention that you are still a girl, but using this method all the time will only make you more and more angry, and it will inadvertently hurt the people around you, you have seen your father like this now, your brother I haven't seen it until now, but I can think of some probably, because your father also said something to complain about him, and said something not very good, he also knew that he was suspected, so he was angry, but he really didn't have anything to show his results, simply don't show up, express your dissatisfaction in this way, but this can only deepen the misunderstanding between your dad and your brother, and the person who did the wrong thing is obviously you, return the things to your dad, where to take it and put it back, your dad has been working very hard, and has always tried to make you happy, and now you should make him happy once. ”

After listening to this, Li Qiqi covered her face and cried, Brother Li opened a small crack in the door and secretly observed, and said in his heart: "Who wants to marry this man will definitely live in happiness every day, just rely on this mouth to deceive the group, there is no need to pay anything at all, such a person is too terrible, no, this time the matter is done, let him stay away from my daughter." Li Qiqi wiped her tears, stood up, turned around and went back to the house.

Brother Li hurriedly went back to bed and lay down, in fact, he didn't have to do this, Li Qiqi didn't look at his room, and after a while, Li Qiqi came out, holding the heirloom that Brother Li said, and quietly walked to Brother Li's room, Brother Li became nervous, his heartbeat accelerated, Li Qiqi opened the bedside table, put the heirloom in, turned around and came out to the living room to sit down, looked at Zhang Kai and took a deep breath and said, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Kai shook his head and stood up and said, "I should go, I have something to do at night." Brother Li also heard this, this is a code, Brother Li also got up and came out and pretended to drink water and said, "Hey, are you leaving? Don't sit down?" Zhang Kai shook his head and said, "No, Li Qiqi said that I have something to tell you, and I have something to do, so I will leave first." Li Qiqi looked at Zhang Kai, a little embarrassed, Zhang Kai patted her on the shoulder and didn't speak, turned around to leave, just opened the door, before the person went out, he heard Li Qiqi crying and said, "Dad, I'm sorry." Then Zhang Kai closed the door, although he couldn't hear the conversation between the two people behind, but a crying was unavoidable, Zhang Kai went downstairs, took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Lei's phone and said: "You can go home, your sister apologized to your dad just now, admitted it, and returned it to your dad." ”

Then Zhang Kai dialed another phone and said, "Tiande, come and pick me up, the task is complete." ”

"Ah, okay, Brother Kai, come out, I've arrived, I guess it's almost there, I arrived ten minutes ago. ”

Zhang Kai walked out, Zhao Tiande stood next to the car and smoked, Zhang Kai reached out and said, "Give me one." ”

Zhao Tiande looked at Zhang Kai with a questioning expression, and said while taking out a cigarette: "Brother Kai, haven't you quit smoking?"

Zhang Kai took a puff and raised his head and said, "Sometimes I want to take a puff when I'm sad." ”

Zhao Tiande said, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Kai took another sip, looked at Zhao Tiande and said, "I don't want to be a scumbag, but this is a task, this task, otherwise we won't collect money." ”

Zhao Tiande didn't speak, seeing that Zhang Kai didn't seem to be in a very stable mood, he didn't ask much, put out the cigarette, and wanted to get into the car, Zhang Kai took the last puff and got into the car, rolled down the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, and the two began to return to the office.

Zhao Tiande felt that he didn't speak and was flustered, so he asked: "Brother Kai, why are you a scumbag?"

Zhang Kai always looked out the window and said expressionlessly: "Because I may be going to break Li Qiqi's heart." ”

After a pause or two, Zhang Kai sighed and said, "Again." ”
