Chapter Twenty-Two: An Awkward Lunch

Early the next morning, Zhou Xiaohan received a call from Fangfang while half-asleep. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info said that it was already arranging printing, and showed Zhou Xiaohan the cover of the new book.

The cover of the new book has the atmosphere of a girl's love, pink, an image of a pair of male and female comic characters, very cute, and looking at the cover, I have a desire to read a novel.

Zhou Xiaohan liked the cover design very much, and immediately after determining the cover, Fangfang hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiaohan didn't feel sleepy, and Yang Yang beside him had long since disappeared.

Recently, Yang Yang went out early and returned late every day, filming until midnight, and only came back to sleep in the early morning, and got up in a hurry to film after not sleeping for a few hours.

Zhou Xiaohan stretched his waist, and when he was sure that he couldn't sleep, he got up.

Asked the nanny for breakfast, breakfast was very simple, fritters + white porridge + a glass of milk. Zhou Xiaohan had breakfast leisurely, and then prepared to go back to codeword.

After completing three chapters, Zhou Xiaohan felt very tired, with a sore back and a sore neck.

Just as I was about to take a break, my phone rang.

When I saw an unfamiliar number, when I hesitated to pick up the goods, the bell suddenly broke, could it be that I had been thinking about it for too long.

Zhou Xiaohan thought about it, anyway, he didn't know the number, just let him go, maybe he made a mistake. I threw my phone away and planned to go out and take a breath of fresh air.

When Zhou Xiaohan just walked outside the room, the mobile phone ringtone came back to him.

Zhou Xiaohan walked in and saw that it was this number again, could it really be that someone he knew called.

Picking up the phone, Zhou Xiaohan tentatively said one word: "Hey! ”

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaohan, I'm Ye Zhenkai." ”

As soon as Zhou Xiaohan heard that it was Ye Zhenkai, his brain immediately crashed, how could he call me, isn't it all settled, how can he come to me.

"Brother Zhenkai, why did you think of coming to me today, is there anything wrong?" Zhou Xiaohan asked pretending to be relaxed.

On the other end of the phone, Ye Zhenkai heard that Zhou Xiaohan was not disgusted with himself. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiaohan, have you eaten lunch?" ”

"No, I don't. Brother Zhenkai, what's wrong? ”

Zhou Xiaohan looked at the time, it was now 10:30 noon, and it was still early for lunch.

Ye Zhenkai was a little excited when he heard Zhou Xiaohan say that he hadn't eaten, and felt that the opportunity had come: "I didn't eat either, then let's eat together, at 12 noon at the Imperial Capital Hotel, I'll wait for you." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Xiaohan to answer, Ye Zhenkai immediately hung up the phone. was afraid that Zhou Xiaohan would refuse, so he gave Zhou Xiaohan a reason why he couldn't refuse.

Zhou Xiaohan sighed, it's okay now, I want to accompany Ye Zhenkai to dinner, she and he are not familiar with each other, how embarrassing it is to eat together, it won't be a problem.

But it's good to think about it, and there is not much chance of showing the horse's feet in this way.

After looking at the time, it's almost time, and I'm ready to go to the appointment.

……

When I arrived at the door of the hotel, a waiter immediately came out to greet me: "Hello Miss, how many may I ask?" Do you have an appointment? ”

"There is an appointment, surnamed Ye."

"Miss, please come with me."

After speaking, the waiter took Zhou Xiaohan to a private room.

Ye Zhenkai was already sitting there in the private room, it seemed that he had been here for a long time, and the drink in the cup had been drunk.

As soon as Ye Zhenkai saw Zhou Xiaohan coming in, he asked the waiter to serve the food.

"Xiaohan, come and sit." After speaking, Ye Zhenkai hurriedly helped Zhou Xiaohan pull out the chair, and asked Zhou Xiaohan to sit down very gentlemanly.

Zhou Xiaohan was a little flattered when he looked at Ye Zhenkai's actions. hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Brother Zhenkai." You can sit too. ”

Ye Zhenkai listened to Zhou Xiaohan's words and immediately sat in his seat.

Soon the dishes came up, and there were not many dishes ordered by the two of them, Ye Zhenkai.

Four dishes and one soup are enough for two people.

"Xiaohan, I ordered these dishes casually. I don't know if you like to eat these or not, but if you don't like these, you can see which one you like. ”

After speaking, Ye Zhenkai held a recipe in his hand and put it next to Zhou Xiaohan's seat.

Zhou Xiaohan looked at these dishes, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No need, these dishes are all dishes I like to eat, no need to add dishes." ”

Ye Zhenkai looked at Zhou Xiaohan and said gently: "If you like it, eat it quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold." ”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhenkai." Zhou Xiaohan said politely.

After lunch, the two said something dispensable.

At this time, Ye Zhenkai felt that Zhou Xiaohan had slowly let go of his sense of restraint, and the time was almost up, and he could ask some things he wanted to know.

"Xiaohan, brother, I haven't talked to you well when I've been studying outside all year round. I haven't seen it for a few years, and I feel a little rusty. There's no closeness like we had when we played together as kids. ”

"Brother Zhenkai, how can you say so exaggerated, how can you say so serious, after all, everyone has their own lives, and we have all grown up."

Zhou Xiaohan looked at Ye Zhenkai very nostalgic for his childhood, and it seemed that he still had illusions about himself.

Just when Zhou Xiaohan was worrying about how to make Ye Zhenkai give up on herself, her mobile phone rang too suddenly. At first glance, it was Li Fenfang calling: "Hey, Fangfang." What's the matter? ”

"Hey, Xiaohan, when will you come to see it, the sample of the book has come out, you can come and see it yourself to make sure it's okay, then I can produce it in large quantities."

"Okay, then I'll be right there."

When Ye Zhenkai heard that Zhou Xiaohan was leaving, he felt very uncomfortable, the two had only been together for less than an hour, and Zhou Xiaohan was about to leave so soon.

"Brother Zhenkai, I'm sorry, my friend has something to do with me."

Ye Zhenkai pretended to be generous and said: "It's okay, you go and get busy with your own going." ”

"Okay, then next time I'll invite my brother to dinner. I'll go first, goodbye brother! ”

After speaking, Zhou Xiaohan took the bag and left.

Ye Zhenkai, who stayed in the private room, knocked his fist on the table with a "bang".

Zhou Xiaohan got out of the hotel and immediately drove to Li Fenfang's publishing house.

is already familiar with the road, and you don't need the guidance of personnel to find Li Fenfang's office and walk there.

"Knock knock" Zhou Xiaohan knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Li Fenfang looked up and saw that it was Zhou Xiaohan.

"Fangfang, where is the sample, I'll take a look."

Zhou Xiaohan was a little excited, rummaging around Li Fenfang's table.

"Alright, alright. Don't flip it, it's not on the table. Well, here it is. ”

Li Fenfang took out the book from the drawer and handed it to Zhou Xiaohan.

Zhou Xiaohan got the book sample, held it in his arms like a baby, and kissed it again and again.

After calming down, he looked at the cover and flipped through the inside: "No problem, it's very good, Fangfang." ”

"Then let's do this, first make 200 copies and test the water in the bookstore. If sales are good, we will continue to add more. ”

Zhou Xiaohan listened to Li Fenfang's words and felt that there was no big problem, so he agreed, after all, people were just helping. This is already the end of benevolence and righteousness, and Zhou Xiaohan is very satisfied.
