April【3】

About 20 minutes later, Xu Yunfeng drove into a high-end commercial housing community in Xuhui District. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The small community consists of four high-rise apartment buildings and an apartment hotel, and the advantage is that the location is good, close to the commercial center, and the transportation is very convenient. Walking into the luxurious lobby paved with natural stone, turning right to the elevator room, just as Xu Yunfeng pressed the elevator up button, Guan Yunyun reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, she asked, "Where are you taking me?" ”

"Just go up and know, don't be nervous." Xu Yunfeng blinked, and when he saw Guan Yunyun's blank expression, he added: "Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to you." ”

As soon as the elevator door opened, Xu Yunfeng grabbed Guan Yunyun's hand and dragged her in. Coming to the tenth floor, Xu Yunfeng walked straight to the first apartment on the left and opened the door.

"Come in." Xu Yunfeng greeted Guan Yunyun and changed into slippers.

Guan Yunyun hesitated for a few seconds, slowly walked to the door of the apartment, looked inside, and what appeared in front of him was a set of apartments with modern decoration. The interior is mainly composed of black, white and gray three colors, the entrance is directly facing the hall connected to the dining room, which looks about sixty or seventy square meters, and the gray luxury modular sofa and the 72-inch LCD TV connected to the combined sound system in front of the sofa are the main functional areas of the entire living room. Looking to the right, there is a corridor that seems to lead to another room, and to the left, there is a kitchen of more than 20 square meters, fully equipped.

"There are slippers to change at the door, come in, there are no cannibals inside." Seeing that Guan Yunyun was still stunned at the door, Xu Yunfeng opened his mouth to remind him.

As soon as Xiaoyun changed into slippers and walked into the room, Xu Yunfeng was introduced.

He pointed to a room connected to the southeast wall of the living room and said, "This is the master bedroom." ”

Guan Yunyun didn't go inside, only glanced inside, it looked like it was about forty square meters, and it was obviously connected to a separate bathroom.

"The one next to the master bedroom is the study, but I don't use it very much, so there's not much in it. Also walk a little inside, there is the guest room on the other side of the corridor, and the shared bathroom opposite the guest room. ”

Guan Yunyun listened to his introduction and nodded slightly, but did not speak, his face was full of confusion.

"What do you think?" Xu Yunfeng asked with a smile.

"How's that?" Guan Yunyun asked.

"How's this house?"

"The house is nice. It is well equipped and tastefully decorated. ”

"Do you like that?"

Guan Yunyun looked up at Xu Yunfeng, with an indescribable puzzled expression on his face.

Xu Yunfeng approached, took out a small bunch of keys from his pocket, stretched out his hand and handed it to her.

"What does that mean?" Guan Yunyun asked.

"If you like it, take it and live there."

Xiao Yun stared at him, was silent for five seconds, and asked, "You want to support me?" ”

"Don't say it so ugly, I didn't mean that."

"I think that's what it means."

"No, I didn't let you go to bed with me, how can it be called a package?"

Guan Yunyun smiled lightly: "Oh, that...... Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept it. If there's nothing else going on, let's go out to dinner. With that, she was about to turn and walk towards the door.

Xu Yunfeng took a step forward, grabbed her arm and said, "Can you listen to me finish your words and make you angry?" ”

"I'm not angry, I appreciate your kindness."

"I didn't want to keep you, we're friends. I just see that you live in a very small place, so I want to give you a change of environment, maybe you can have a better inspiration to work here? Xu Yunfeng paused for a second, and then said, "I didn't say that I would give you this house, I just borrowed it." Anyway, I've been leaving this place empty, and I don't plan to rent it out. ”

Guan Yunyun sighed: "Yunfeng, we have only known each other for more than three months, how can I accept such help from you?" If you rent out this house, you can rent it for at least 8,000 or more. ”

"Okay then." Xu Yunfeng pulled down a smile: "If you feel really embarrassed, I'll rent it to you." How much does your current house rent? ”

"Two Thousand ......"

"Very good, I'll rent this house to you for a thousand dollars, is that okay?"

"It's so cheap! ……”

"That's one thousand five." Xu Yunfeng said and stuffed the key into her hand.

"But my current house is still half a year away, and I have already paid the rent for the next two months......"

"Then I'll give you a free trial for the first two months, and then give me the rent after you have it. If you move, you can move whenever you like. ”

"Huh? This ......"

"Alright, the negotiations are over. I'm hungry, let's go out to eat. Xu Yunfeng said, letting go of her arm and walking towards the door without looking back.

Before turning around, Guan Yunyun looked at the key in his hand thoughtfully for a while, and finally put it in his coat pocket, then turned around and changed his shoes and went out to find a place to eat.

Johnny and Steger show a strong sense of incomprehension about the amusement side's desire not to provide office keys. Seeing the anger in Johnny's eyes, Ji Wei and Kevin began to have a tragic premonition about the negotiation process and outcome of the contract that day.

Sure enough, shortly after the meeting, the conversation went back to office security from the topic of design, planning, and contracts. may be because this matter has been discussed for too long, too many times, and too boring, so that Ji Wei now begins to regurgitate and acid as soon as she sees, hears, and touches the English words starting with S, and finally she and Kevin still agree to provide an office key for Johnny and Steiger to back up, and finally end the conversation about "security" in stages.

Of course, the fried fish on the frying pan turned over, and the pain was naturally the other side. The price of agreeing to provide the key was that it took saliva to appease Chen Xiaotian and Feng Yu's incomprehension. Although the two sensible partners didn't say anything embarrassing, the dissatisfaction clearly caused some pressure.

After that, Ji Wei and Kevin spent a week of difficult and painful negotiations, and finally got the next stage of the contract. Seeing that Johnny finally signed his name, Ji Wei's heart finally relaxed a little, and finally got half a cent off on the weekend.

So, on the second Sunday of April, Ji Wei finally found time to carry out her promise to be Alexander's Chinese teacher.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Ji Wei rushed to the Starbucks coffee next to the seventh exit of the Zhongshan Park subway station, she saw Alexander already sitting in front of a two-person table, holding a copy of "Learning Chinese" in his hand and looking at it very seriously.

She went to the counter first to buy a cup of hot milk, then hurried to the table, put down her bag, and politely apologized: "Sorry, did you wait for a long time?" ”

Alexander looked at her with a smile: "Why apologize?" You're not late, it's me who arrived early. ”

"So, let's get started." Ji Wei took out her notebook and pen and sat up straight: "How far is your Chinese?" I'll take a look at the textbook. ”

"I can understand a little bit of Chinese, and I can speak some simple Chinese, but the level is very bad." Alexander handed over the book: "However, I think I can learn some of it on my own through this book, because I know a little pinyin." So, otherwise, I'll sit here and read a book and ask you if there's any words and sentences I don't understand. I'll read you all the sentences and words in the book, and if you think the pronunciation is incorrect, just correct it for me, okay? ”

"Absolutely." A very clear suggestion, Ji Wei naturally agreed. She roughly flipped through the almost brand-new Chinese textbook in front of her and felt that this book was quite easy to understand and very practical.

So, they started with the first lesson of the book.

To Ji Wei's surprise, Alexander's Chinese was obviously not as bad as his modest rhetoric, both in terms of vocabulary and pronunciation. Impressively, very few foreigners know Chinese pinyin, but the foreigner in front of him has obviously learned this part of this knowledge systematically.

This afternoon, it was not so much that Ji Wei was teaching Alexander to learn Chinese, but that it was appropriate to chat with him for an afternoon.

Approaching four o'clock, Ji Wei glanced at the time on her phone, and was about to say goodbye and leave, when Alexander made another invitation.

"Ji Wei, I'll invite friends to dinner at home next Saturday, will you come along?"

"Who are they?"

"It's all from my company, about five or six people, Chang Fei and Jason, you've seen them, they will all come."

[It's a great opportunity to talk to them about business.] Ji Wei thought so, nodded and agreed to the invitation: "Okay, tell me when you set the time." ”

"I'm going to cook and treat everyone to dinner. By the way, do you know how to cook? ”

"Yes." Not only that, Ji Wei also attended a chef school for a short time for this little hobby.

"Why don't you come over early that day and help me with my preparations? It's chopping vegetables and stuff like that. ”

"Okay...... Otherwise, I'll bring some food and cook two dishes that day, as a thank you for the invitation. ”

"Of course, I'm looking forward to seeing your cooking." Alexander smiled brightly: "I'll send you a text message with my home address, and you can come over next Saturday afternoon as soon as you're ready, I guess I'll start preparing at three o'clock." ”

"Okay." Ji Wei smiled professionally.

It's been two days since I got the key to the apartment, and Guan Yunyunwo hasn't gone out at home for two days. She didn't contact anyone, and spent most of her time lying on her stomach at her workbench drawing, and the rest of the time was eating and sleeping. To some extent, she began to understand why Ji Wei could ignore emotional needs many times: when people are immersed in something meaningful and personal value, they ignore inner fragility, lack or contradiction.
