Chapter 8: An Unexpected Surprise
The next day, Pei Minghui, who went to work at the hotel as usual, was fired on the grounds that he could not restrain his emotions and used his actions to affect the reputation of the hotel to the guests. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he returned to the cake shop in frustration, he faced his sister's care and inquiry, and deep self-blame and guilt surged in his heart. In this regard, Pei Xiaorou felt relieved. She didn't agree with this job that required frequent night shifts, and it was better not to do it now.
Her comfort and appeasement made Pei Minghui feel even more guilty, feeling that he was really useless, first he was implicated in repaying his debts, and now he can't even keep his job, which increases his sister's burden even more.
The more he thought about it, the more he blamed himself, and decided to cheer up, constantly browsing job postings every day, and going out early and returning late for interviews. In the meantime, he hid from Bei Xiaorou and never gave up looking for Li Yuan, the classmate who pushed the debt on him.
For days, whether he was looking for a job or someone, he always went out hopefully and came back full of disappointment.
Pei Xiaorou looked at the cloudless weather in the morning, and suddenly it rained heavily, which really caught people off guard. Fortunately, she read the weather forecast last night, and Bei Minghui, who insisted on going out to find a job, brought an umbrella.
It's just that it's raining so hard that even if you bring an umbrella, you can get wet.
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, and after glancing at the time, she figured that it was almost time for him to come back. So taking advantage of the heavy rain at this time and there were no customers in the store, I went to the back kitchen to boil ginger soup.
When she walked back to the counter, she felt a cool breeze rushing in with a damp breath, and then the wind chimes rang.
She looked up at the man who pushed the door open, his hair drenched, dripping down his straight nose and into his shirt-buttoned neck, which had been stripped of his tie.
Lei Ziqian shook his head slightly, shook the moisture from his hair slightly, walked to the counter in a few big steps, and casually threw the suit jacket that was soaked from the rain on a chair.
Seeing that he was full of moisture and a cold breath, for fear that he would catch a cold, Bei Xiaorou hurriedly took out a towel from the cabinet and handed it to him: "Mr. Lei, quickly wipe it." ”
The concern in his eyes was obvious, Lei Ziqian reached out to take it, and wiped the rain and wet hair on his face in a good mood.
At this time, the door of the store was pushed open again, and then Pei Minghui shouted loudly: "Sister, the rain is too heavy, and I am still wet with an umbrella." ”
As he spoke, he put the umbrella on the umbrella stand on the side, looked down at his wet trousers and shoes, suddenly shuddered, put down his backpack, and took off his slightly wet coat.
Bei Xiaorou hurriedly walked to his side, stretched out her hand to take it, and suddenly touched his slightly cool hand, and her worry was overflowing.
Looking at the two drenched men, she turned and walked to the back kitchen.
Pei Minghui lowered his head and opened his backpack, took out a few pieces of paper from it, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was not wet. Looking up and finding that his sister had gone, he shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the counter, only to see the man sitting next to him.
His eyes lit up suddenly, and he rushed forward in a few steps, he hesitantly stopped in front of the man, with an excited look: "Thunder...... Mr. Lei, why are you here? ”
Looking at the boy in front of him, Lei Ziqian raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'll buy a cake." Then he remembered what happened in the hotel that night, and casually asked, "Is it okay to work in the hotel?" ”
When it came to this, Pei Minghui was like a beaten eggplant, sullen: "I was fired." ”
Lei Ziqian was slightly surprised, his eyes slid down from his depressed face, and he saw a few pieces of paper in his hand, some vaguely sketched graphics on them, which made a glimmer of light flash in his eyes, and he stretched out his finger and pointed: "Show me what you draw." ”
Pei Minghui looked down in the direction of his finger, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and smirked: "These are all scribbles I painted casually, Mr. Lei, don't laugh at me when you see it." ”
As he spoke, he was about to hand him the paper, but at this time, Pei Xiaorou walked up to the two of them with two bowls of ginger soup in her hands, and handed one bowl to Bei Minghui. The hot air transmitted the unique spicy taste of ginger, and rushed into his nose, he retracted his hand, took a step back unbearably, salivated with a smile on his face, and said flatteringly: "Sister, I'm fine, really, I don't need to drink this at all." ”
Gazing at his eyebrows, Pei Xiaorou looked at him seriously, and the hand holding the ginger soup remained motionless, and the meaning was clear. As soon as he saw her expression, Pei Minghui didn't dare to resist anymore, so he could only take it and drink it obediently with a bitter face.
Bei Xiaorou smiled with satisfaction and put the other bowl on the man's table.
Lei Ziqian frowned and looked at it, with a faint hint of disgust on his face, and turned his head and refused: "I don't need it!" ”
Bei Xiaorou was very puzzled, she didn't understand a bowl of ginger soup, why the two big men refused to drink it simply.
"Your body is all wet, if you don't drink some ginger soup to get rid of the cold, it's easy to catch a cold." This was the first time that Pei Xiaorou spoke to him in such a cautious and serious tone.
Lei Ziqian has always disliked being forced, he pursed his lips, and his face was slightly displeased.
Seeing him like this, Pei Xiaorou couldn't help but let go of her voice and persuaded again: "Mr. Lei, drink it, okay?" ”
The man turned his head to look at the woman in front of him, his eyes were clear and pure, with undisguised worry, his heart shrank slightly, and he couldn't say anything if he wanted to refuse.
The black eyes looked away at the bowl of ginger soup, and the thick eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter, and then moved away and crashed into the woman's expectant eyes.
After a long silence, he pursed his lips, with the determination of a strong man breaking his wrist, picked up the ginger soup, closed his eyes after a moment of silence, and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at his frowning brows, Bei Xiaorou realized that he, like his younger brother, hated the taste of ginger soup.
With a slight softness in her heart, she stepped aside and poured two glasses of warm water, and as soon as she handed it over, they couldn't wait to take a big gulp.
Finally washed away the taste in his mouth, Lei Ziqian put down the water cup, picked up the drawings that Bei Minghui had put down earlier on the table, and looked at it seriously. After reading the last one, he raised his head, his dark eyes were full of appreciation, and looked at Pei Minghui with a worried face: "The idea is good." ”
Hearing him say this, Pei Minghui became more and more nervous: "I...... I just draw casually, and although I love architecture, I don't really understand anything. ”
Lei Ziqian nodded: "It can be seen that the foundation is very poor." But as long as you're willing to learn, there's still room for molding. ”
As he spoke, he took out a business card and handed it to him: "I'll report to the company tomorrow." ”
Pei Minghui took it with a slight trembling hand, looking at the gilded words "Thunder Construction Company" on it, his eyes slowly widened, and his face was constantly mixed with excitement and doubt.
He opened his mouth wide, his chest rising and falling from overexcitement, and it took him a long time to make a sound: "You...... You mean, let me go to work at your company? ”
Thin lips raised lightly, Lei Ziqian put his hands around his chest: "What, don't you want to?" ”
"Yes, I do!" Pei Minghui hurriedly nodded vigorously and replied loudly, his eyes shining, for fear that this great opportunity that he never dreamed of would disappear.
Bei Xiaorou, who was also shocked by Lei Ziqian's sudden invitation, looked at her younger brother who was excited, but a trace of worry arose in her heart, she looked at the man sitting in the chair: "Mr. Lei, is this okay?" Will it cause you trouble? ”
Bei Minghui, who was grinning happily, heard his sister's words, and gradually regained his calmness, and his mood became apprehensive.
Lei Ziqian clasped his hands on the table, raised his eyes to look at Pei Minghui, and his eyes turned serious: "It's up to you to decide whether it will be a trouble for me, tell me, are you?" ”
The man's aura became majestic in an instant, and the authority of the superior was immediately revealed, and Pei Minghui felt a shock in his heart and understood the meaning of his words.
He immediately turned pale: "I'm not." I will definitely take advantage of the opportunities you give me, work hard, study hard, and never let you down. ”
Knowing his brother's love and enthusiasm for architecture, and hearing his cautious tone, Pei Xiaorou knew that he would definitely cherish this opportunity that was very important to him, and she was very happy in her heart.
At this time, Pei Minghui turned her head to look at her, she smiled softly, and habitually worried: "This time when you arrive at the new company, you must restrain your impulsiveness and get along with your colleagues, do you know?" ”
Stretching out his fingers as he spoke, he moved gently, carefully helping him comb his messy hair, and his mouth was still whispering softly, Pei Minghui lowered his head and listened obediently, nodding his head from time to time.
Lei Ziqian, who was sitting on the chair, raised the corners of his mouth, staring at the black eyes of the woman's delicate face, with a tenderness that he didn't even notice.
