33 Career and marriage
Le Xiaoxiao originally thought that Zhai Xu said that he wanted to help him look at the car, that is, he said it casually, and at most, he could introduce himself and recommend it. didn't expect Zhai Xu to pick her up in the morning, and really pulled her to Mizhuang Road, where the 4S store is concentrated.
Looking at the two 4S stores lined up on both sides of the street, Le Xiaoxiao was confused. Le Xiaoxiao, who only knows the car by looking at the car mark and recognizing the license plate level, heard Zhai Xu ask which one to go to see first, and could only look over with a face of "I don't know anything".
Zhai Xu couldn't help but chuckle, a dashing dozen steering wheels, the white Maserati with beautiful lines that Le Xiaoxiao had seen before, plunged into the parking lot of any 4S store on the side of the road. The little sales girl standing at the door almost trotted over, and her eyes were shining when she saw Zhai Xu getting out of the car, and her face was full of smiles: "Mr. look at the car?" โ
"Just take a look." Zhai Xu nodded, went around and pulled the car door for Le Xiaoxiao, and reached out to hold her arm and pull her out of the slightly low seat.
Seeing Le Xiaoxiao come out, the little girl smiled sweetly and said, "Hello ma'am, welcome." What kind of car do you want to choose today? Do you usually drive more gentlemen, or do you mainly drive ma'am? I can tell you both more about that. โ
Zhai Xu turned his head sideways, and was not surprised to see a thin layer of blush floating on Le Xiaoxiao's fair side face, and opened his mouth "sigh", as if he wanted to say something. Zhai Xu interrupted her with a smile and said, "Thank you, no need, let's see for ourselves." โ
"Those two are random, my name is Annie, what do you need to call me!" The little girl glanced at Le Xiaoxiao, turned her head and handed a business card to Zhai Xu with a smile, and handed another one to Le Xiaoxiao after speaking, flashed to the side with interest, and watched the two enter the store from a distance.
Zhai Xu pulled Le Xiaoxiao along the booth and walked in, looking at the sales far away, before he asked with a smile: "How about it, what car do you want to buy, and how much budget have you figured out?" โ
I'll just say there's something wrong with that! A man and a woman came to see the car, and it was like โกโก written on their faces! Le Xiaoxiao was speechless to herself, why didn't she think about it much! No wonder Shirakura always says she's sluggish.
"I don't have any ideas...... Le Xiaoxiao mentioned to her parents before that she wanted to buy a car, and the second elder also echoed that he should also have a car to travel, and even said that he would subsidize part of the money. As for what car to buy, she didn't ask, obviously just let her please.
Glancing at the price tag on the booth, Le Xiaoxiao counted the zeros in the back while thinking about his deposit, and said, "Don't be too expensive, just commute to work." โ
"The capitalists have borrowed money from you, what scruples do you have? It's good to look at what you like. Zhai Xu joked in his mouth, his eyes quickly swept over the car on the platform, as if he had found some target, and pulled Le Xiaoxiao inside.
"Now, my parents said to help me with some of the money, so I don't need to borrow from you." Le Xiaoxiao looked at Zhai Xu with a teasing smile on his face, waved his hand and said.
"Huh?" Zhai Xu raised his eyebrows and stopped, the smile on his face narrowed a little, and he asked with a smile, "Would you rather gnaw on the old than my money?" What are you afraid of, even if you can't pay the money, I can still tie you up and sell it. โ
Le Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and smiled: "I can't sell it for a few dollars, you will pay for it." No, I just want to buy a substitute that I can afford. Actually, I don't want to spend my dad's money. Earlier, my dad said that he would buy me a car, but I didn't want it, but my dad said that I could eat him before I got married! โ
"If you get married, you will eat your husband's?" Zhai Xu picked up a brochure casually and handed it to Le Xiaoxiao, "Look at this, the car can be taken care of when it is driven, and it is convenient to park with the image of the whole car." โ
"Don't want it, I want to eat my own when I get married." Le Xiaoxiao looked at the brochure and flipped through it, except for the first two pages of the body interior color map, there was a bunch of data in the back, and she didn't know what it was, "It's naturally good if my husband is willing to feed, but I still prefer to rely on myself more, no one feeds me, I can also live a small life of being rich and free, wanting to eat, and wanting to play." โ
"Then you're pretty good at feeding." Zhai Xu's smile did not decrease, and he pulled Le Xiaoxiao to the side of a car and pointed it to her, "The whole car is 200,000 yuan, which is not too expensive." โ
Le Xiaoxiao looked at the car in front of her, it looked small and exquisite, and the appearance was also ingenious, I liked it, I liked it, 200,000 yuan, it was still a bit expensive, and it didn't feel like it was worth it. While thinking about it, Le Xiaoxiao replied a little absent-mindedly: "I've always been very easy to support, and I can raise myself for nothing without others to raise myself." โ
Zhai Xu stood behind Le Xiaoxiao. Today, Le Xiaoxiao still tied a ponytail, wore a short jacket, and a close-fitting black overalls vest inside. Le Xiaoxiao was bending over to the driver's seat, and a thin waist was hidden in the middle of the jacket and jeans, which was particularly eye-catching.
"You can get a little fatter." Zhai Xu muttered.
"Huh? What did you say? Le Xiaoxiao poked her head out of the car door, stretched out her hand and gestured around, and asked, "Will this space be a little small?" โ
"Didn't say anything." Zhai Xu shook his head with a smile, turned to the other side, opened the passenger door and sat in. Reaching out and touching the top of his head, with Zhai Xu's height, there was almost no space from the roof of the car, and he moved left and right, which was also a little cramped. When two people sit in, their shoulders almost touch, and there is very little room for movement. Zhai Xu stepped out of the co-pilot, shook his head at Le Xiaoxiao and said, "It's a little smaller, let's take a look." โ
"Huh?" Le Xiaoxiao saw Zhai Xu turn his head and leave, and hurriedly climbed out of the cab.
I'll just ask casually, it's actually okay if I drive it alone, it's not too small, how can I just go...... Le Xiaoxiao caught up with Zhai Xu's footsteps and glanced back, it was really good-looking.
After more than an hour, I watched a few cars of similar price, Le Xiaoxiao completely covered his head and turned to see the difference, and Zhai Xu didn't show any tendencies. But obviously, the small car like the one at the beginning was completely passed by Zhai Xu, and he didn't take Le Xiaoxiao to see it at all.
In the end, Zhai Xu saw that Le Xiaoxiao's expression was already a little dazed, so he stuffed her back into his car and said, "Let's go, I have to rush to Bai Ying's place for lunch." Let's be here today, and then you can go back and think about it. โ
Oh, lunch at the Hakura family! Le Xiaoxiao finally returned to her soul. It feels good to be back in familiar territory!
Zhai Xu started the car, watched Le Xiaoxiao return to a state full of energy, smiled helplessly, and said, "You should also study more, after all, it is your own business." โ
"I don't know, in this way, you help me pick, which one do you say to buy? Shall I listen to you? Le Xiaoxiao had a bitter little face, looking at the interior of Zhai Xu's car boredly, and his mind was full of what kind of log style he had just seen, leather seats, seat ventilation, bala bala......
Zhai Xu laughed heavily, drove out of the parking lot, and said, "Okay, then you come back and tell me what you want, and I'll help you pick it out." โ
"If you have any requirements, you can just open it, well, look good...... I want blue, royal blue or light ......blue," Le Xiaoxiao spread out of the chair and looked at the 4S shop that was passing by quickly outside the car window, and said, "Oh, and don't be too expensive, it's too expensive to be useless, just a hundred thousand." โ
"That last sentence is useful."
"What, color is important, okay!" Le Xiaoxiao sat up straight from the passenger seat and looked at Zhai Xu angrily.
"Huh."
"You're laughing at me, aren't you! I know your mocking expression! Le Xiaoxiao twisted her body to face Zhai Xu's direction, and asked with her seat belt.
"No, I'm prepared for girls to see cars. I just hope that your driving skills are a little better, and I am considering whether to give the company basement an additional insurance. Zhai Xu drove the car, and the corners of his mouth hooked up involuntarily.
"I'm very skilled! I'm a five-year veteran! Le Xiaoxiao rushed out.
"Oh, well, how about you? Old, driver, machine? Zhai Xu raised one side of his eyebrows, turned his head sideways, and showed an evil smile with a slightly strange expression.
"I won't ......drive your car" Le Xiaoxiao was instantly stunned, Zhai Xu's car, I don't know how much it costs, what if it hangs up. Hurriedly retracted back to the co-pilot and sat down, waved his hand at Zhai Xu and said, "Drive well, don't look at me!" Look ahead, don't look around on the highway! โ
"Okay, don't look at you. Well, sit down, the seat belt is tied, and the old driver is going to accelerate. Zhai Xu stopped teasing her, said with a smile, and stepped on the accelerator to the end.
A coupe with excellent performance, with the roar of a motor, accelerates to one hundred and twenty kilometers in a few seconds. The instant acceleration made Le Xiaoxiao's whole person stick to the seat, reached out and grabbed the armrest, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Hey, it's too fast to slow down, it's going to be speeding!" โ
"Hehe, no, just get used to it."
It seems that he has become more and more accustomed to the position of the co-pilot next to Zhai Xu, and the time on the road flies, as if not long has passed, Zhai Xu slowed down and got off the highway and drove into the country road. The countryside scenery is even more pleasant, and the green that only belongs to spring decorates the roads on both sides, and just one green can render a rich color gradation. In addition, the dazzling sunlight shining through the cracks in the forest looks like an impressionist painting, and it is very beautiful from a distance.
After turning a few intersections, Zhai Xu looked at the navigation map, pointed to an iron gate in front of him, and said, "It should be here, this is it." โ
"It's not very far from the city." Le Xiaoxiao looked at the doorkeeper poking his head out, seemed to check Zhai Xu's license plate, saluted and opened the door.
The car followed a long boulevard, turned two more corners, and suddenly opened up in front of me. A large green farmland, a small orchard of unknown nature, a flock of chickens in the yard, and even two peacocks pacing leisurely on the grass beside them. A small two-story building, the bluestone is repaired quite a bit old-fashioned.
It's going to be evening, the twilight is shrouded, the crows are coming, and the smoke is curling, so poetic.
It's noon now, and the smoke isn't ...... But now there seems to be some thick smoke billowing out of the corner of the small building......
Le Xiaoxiao was startled, glanced at Zhai Xu, and saw that Zhai Xu was also frowning, and the two of them invariably sped up their pace and ran towards the house.
The door was not locked, and Zhai Xu and Le Xiaoxiao pushed the door in without any effort. The living room was cleaned up, and the dining room table had already been set up with dishes and chopsticks and napkins. Everything seemed to be normal, except that there was a growing smell of burning in the air.
Following the smell of mush and smoke, the two of them found the door of the kitchen, and bursts of black smoke overflowed along the crack of the door, and there was a sound of clanging bells and knocking of unknown things, just like a fire scene.
Zhai Xu stretched out his hand to stop Le Xiaoxiao and said, "You stand back a little, I'll take a look first." โ
"Oh." Le Xiaoxiao took two steps back, hid behind Zhai Xu, holding his mobile phone in his hand, ready to report the fire alarm as soon as he saw an open flame and the situation was not good.
Zhai Xu pushed open the kitchen door sideways, and a smell of burnt smoke flew over, choking Zhai Xu subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, and pulled Le Xiaoxiao away.
It seemed that someone had finally pushed open the kitchen door, and in the middle of the smoke, a hazy figure rushed out quite quickly, and as he rushed out, he pulled a black unknown object from his face and threw it aside.
"I'll go, choke my mother! I'm going to make cooking one of my most respected professions! โ
Le Xiaoxiao looked at the white cherry blossoms in front of her in a daze. Le Xiaoxiao has never seen Bai Ying's dress, a violet flannel casual dress, cut and fitted Bai Ying's petite figure, which can barely be called Miss Bai's style. But what the hell is this Hello Kitty pink apron on the outside! There is also an unknown object that was thrown out just now, which is clearly a PM2.5 professional protective mask!
"Miss Bai, don't tell me you're cooking?" Zhai Xu looked at Bai Ying's face, one by one, and the flowers were green, and he couldn't help but smile, "If you are bored and want to burn the kitchen, burn it blatantly, don't use the banner of cooking." โ
"Go to the side, stay where it's cool. Look at the old lady's jokes, don't think I dare to scold you Zhai Dashao! Miss Ben is in a very bad mood right now, very bad, super bad! Bai Ying tore off her apron and threw it on the ground, glancing at Zhai Xu.
Le Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile and picked up the apron and mask from the ground and put them on the table next to her, went over and took Bai Ying's arm to look at her rather wonderful face, and finally couldn't help but laugh and said, "Go wash your face!" I tidy up the kitchen. โ
"What's wrong with my face!" Bai Sakura touched her face in a panic, looked around, and finally saw her current "makeup" on the glass window of the wine cabinet.
"Ahh My face! I didn't know and thought it was a disfigured girl, so Bai Sakura screamed and ran upstairs with a scream, covering her face.
Zhai Xu and Le Xiaoxiao looked at each other for two seconds, and couldn't help laughing out loud at the same time.
"Okay, Xiaoxiao, you go and open all the windows on the first floor, and I'll go see what's going on in the kitchen." Zhai Xu smiled, raised his hand and walked into the kitchen.
When Le Xiaoxiao opened all the windows, air conditioners, and exhaust fans, and then returned to the kitchen, amid the roar of the range hood at full power, Zhai Xu walked out with two black pots that had been emitting black smoke one by one.
"That's it, there's no open flame, the water in the stew pot is dry, I don't know what is in it and it's burned into charcoal, nothing else." Zhai Xu carried the pot and walked out the door, "I threw these two pots away, and the kitchen will just disperse the smell." โ
When Zhai Xu returned from throwing the pot and Bai Ying finished her makeup and went downstairs, the black smoke in the kitchen had basically dispersed, and Le Xiaoxiao had already picked out the dishes that could still be used and put them in a pile.
"Why do you suddenly remember to cook?" Le Xiaoxiao saw Bai Ying come down and looked up, lowered her head and held a potato, skillfully peeling it.
Bai Sakura seemed to have finally given up trying, and didn't want to step into the kitchen at all, so she simply sat on a high chair in the corner of the dining room, dragging her cheeks and watching Le Xiaoxiao peel potatoes in the kitchen.
"I'm going abroad. It is said that foreign Chinese food is not delicious, and my old man let out his words and ignored me, so I had to try to make it myself. Bai Sakura's voice was full of pain, and she had a loveless expression, "What should I do, I don't want to eat hamburger pizza every day!" โ
"Going abroad? Why so suddenly? Le Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, put down the potatoes and looked at Bai Sakura.
Bai Sakura grabbed the chic wine decanter on the bar, pulled out a crystal glass from the cup holder above her head, poured out most of the red wine, poured it hard, and said, "I want to chase a man." I had to go and get an MBA first, and then go home to deal with my old man. โ
"Your old Bai family still has this custom? Only MBA graduates can chase men? Zhai Xu said with a smile on the side.
Bai Ying drank another half a cup, and motioned to Le Xiaoxiao with her eyes to let her speak. Le Xiaoxiao sighed, knowing that Bai Ying was unhappy, so she had to act as a commentator and say to Zhai Xu: "Bai Ying's family said before that there is a choice between career and marriage. Bai Sakura has always chosen a career, and being a lawyer is her hobby. Her father didn't stop her from becoming a lawyer, but he had already chosen several marriage partners for her. โ
Finally, it was Zhai Xu's turn to look at Bai Ying with a shocked face, and sighed: "Your old man is actually ...... I really didn't expect anyone else to be like this these days! The Bai family is still such old-fashioned rules! โ
Bai Ying finally glanced at Zhai Xu, her eyes circled around Le Xiaoxiao and returned to Zhai Xu's face, she sighed and said, "Zhai Xu, not everyone is as enlightened as your family, you have to know blessings when you are in the midst of blessings." โ
Le Xiaoxiao's focus now is entirely on Bai Ying, and she knows how much Bai Ying loved the lawyer industry before. can make a girl give up the freedom of marriage and choose a career, you can imagine how deep Bai Sakura's obsession is. How much he knew about Bai Sakura's choice earlier, how puzzled Le Xiaoxiao is now.
"Who the hell could make you quit the profession of lawyer?" Le Xiaoxiao knew that there might be a shocking answer, but she couldn't help but ask.
Bai Ying looked at Le Xiaoxiao, suddenly smiled bitterly, and then raised a bright smile, and said with a smug face: "My male god!" โ
"Male god? Yan Zhen?! โ
