Chapter 59: Friend-style chit-chat
Small talk is the entry point to establish a relationship, and Gao Min is more freeand easy, and the central idea is not to treat him as a leader, and try to get along like a friend.
Shu Neem listened to a string of English burst out of his mouth, and estimated that it was difficult to consider the appropriate words when he was a child, and automatically switched to English thinking, after all, it is quite shameful to say that we are friends in my native language, and I am not a primary school student, so don't be so naïve!
She replied succinctly and directly in English, "it, wemakesamlds, right? ”
The two people communicated in English and reached a consensus, as if the feeling of embarrassment in foreign Chinese language would be weakened, with the blessing of straightforward foreigner thinking, leaving behind the subtlety and coded words, the atmosphere of the conversation finally relaxed.
But Gao Min was a little disappointed, Shu Nee said DS instead of DS, of course, talking like a friend is also a big step forward. He reverted to the topic he had just talked about and asked if the relationship between being afraid of heights and choosing a high place to live was progressive or contradictory.
What a persistent person, Shu Mel is breathtaking, ordinary people chat, if one party throws out the perfunctory phrase of saying a long story, he should understand that the other party doesn't want to say it, then quickly transition to another topic, just like a man about a woman, the woman says next time, which is equivalent to no next time or the next life, why doesn't he understand this kind of thing he knows.
It's not an unspeakable secret, but isn't it really boring to talk about buying a house? Or did she find out that she bought a house and picked up a bargain, and also figured out that she was looking for an acquaintance to buy a property for a discount? Boss Gao can't be so rich, right...... It's hard to say, rich people don't like a lot of money - let's talk about it!
"The relationship between my fear of heights and buying a high-rise house is neither a progressive nor a contradictory relationship, one qiē serves reality. I also want to live in a flat-floor house or an independent villa in the city, but do I have a net worth of hundreds of millions, I don't have it! As for my apartment, I also lived in it because of my fortune and luck. A few years ago, the housing prices in the city center were half of what they are now, and at that time I wanted to buy and had to check whether the silver in my purse was enough, at the beginning I didn't consider the prime location, I wanted to buy a house in the suburbs with a subway, it doesn't matter if it is far away, it is more comfortable to live in a larger way, it is a coincidence, Mr. Lu of the real estate development company under the Chengtou Group has a good relationship with me, and I help him to make a building book and plan cheaper than the outside fee"
"So, based on a pleasant business cooperation, he gave you an attractive discount to sell the house?" , Gao Min speculated along her words.
"That's not it, he is fine, and then the development of urban investment is boutique real estate, even if the internal price, in a location like Binjiang I have to grit my teeth, and then he took the initiative to find me, asked me if I want to buy a house, I said there is a plan, this is not looking at the house everywhere, he said you don't look at it, I have a suite in my hand in a hurry to shoot. Listening to him, I don't think it's simple, wasn't the brother and sister of the house inspection very strict at that time, he is the CEO of a real estate company, and it is not easy to use his position to cover a few houses in his hands!? ”
"Did he let people sue him?"
"Most likely, no matter how we say that we are also a state-owned unit, we must respond to the national policy, from top to bottom to thoroughly investigate the idle housing situation of cadres, many people heard the wind and moved to deal with the house in their hands, Mr. Lu's position stared at many people, and he was knocked on the mountain and shocked the tiger, but I am quite cautious, and the receiver is not casual, who knows if his source of buying a house is legal!"
Gao Min is not an antique, he still understands the connotation of the receiver, and it is really seamless and appropriate to be used by Shu Nee as a metaphor for buying a house. A smile appeared on his face, "You are very careful, the interests are current, unmoved!" ”
"That is, I don't dare to buy an unclear house if I have the courage to borrow it! Lu is always a smart person, he saw that I had concerns, and said that at most he used his position to play a sideshow, and it did not involve economic crimes, because of this, even if someone in the group was hot about his position, he couldn't move him, but after this battle, he didn't have the heart and energy to climb up, and it happened that his son got a green card in the United States, so he wanted to retire from the cusp of the storm to retire abroad, and he would not come back in his lifetime, so he was in a hurry to sell the house. The house in his hand was bought for his son's wedding house, the area is enough for a small two, and it is less than 200 square meters after planing the public share, and those who have more money in their hands want to buy a bigger one, and those who have less money take a fancy and can't afford it, and they can't get rid of the house when they come and go."
"He's all said about this, if you don't admit it, won't you give him no face at all?"
"That's right, he begged me to buy a house, I have to take the opportunity to suppress the price, no matter how I earn hard-earned money, it's not good to compare with his fast money, I have to say that the old Jianghu is fast, after seeing that I don't move, I immediately changed his mouth and said that he sold the house at what price he got at what price, not to make money but to get rid of it, the house has not yet opened he subscribed internally, the price is naturally lower than the market price, he is willing to cut the meat and make profits, I'm afraid that the things on his body are not as light as he said, I can't care about this, as long as the house is fine"
"Bought it at a fixed price?"
"Yes, I paid two-thirds of the money, one-third with a provident fund loan, although it is not a problem to buy it in full, but I always have to leave some spare money to decorate and buy furniture and electrical appliances, in short, this house is very happy to buy, Mr. Lu took the money not long before he retreated to the United States, others left, but I still have some connections in Chengtou, I also know the current person in charge of Chengtou real estate, if Mr. Gao wants to buy a house in Chengtou, a discount is always possible!"
This circle is far away! After Shu Neem finished speaking, he exhaled slightly, in order to take care of Mr. Gao's face, he couldn't ask, eh, you asked me about the house, do you want to buy a house cheaper, and the essence of understanding the leader's intention is to think about what people think, and what people are anxious about!
Gao Min was stunned, feeling that what Shu Nee said was a bit of a twist in the end, thinking about it, he was indeed a little suspicious to inquire about other people's houses, so he smiled faintly and was noncommittal.
In Shu Neem's view, Gao Min's smile represents acquiescence, once it is all in the words, it is boring to point through, otherwise, what is the purpose of mentioning the purchase of a house to her three times and twice?
The topic of the house stopped, Gao Min put the cups and saucers into the tray, and said that he would clean up by himself, and of course Shu Neem couldn't let the guests who came to visit for the first time wash the dishes and wash the dishes.
"Don't mind, you are a guest, how can you let the guests do it, you rest first, or you can walk around the house at will, look at the pattern structure, this community except for the structure of the building king is slightly different, most of the internal structure of the house is similar"
Gao Min thanked her for her kindness, but still followed her into the kitchen, and Shu Mei thought that he was going to start from the kitchen, so he didn't care about cleaning the cups and dishes by himself.
The kitchen is hollow shaped, with integrated cabinets, dark marble countertops, white lacquered cabinets, light-colored floor tiles, compared with the fancy living room, the kitchen design style is simple and atmospheric, a bouquet of white tulips blooms in the transparent glass bottle by the window, and there are as many as six kinds of glasses used to drink, Burgundy wine glasses, Bordeaux wine glasses, champagne glasses, white wine glasses, brandy glasses, cocktail triangle glasses, and a shiny glass from afar.
In addition, there are crystal glasses for drinking water, mugs for drinking milk, English tea sets for afternoon tea, and living porcelain cups for drinking Chinese tea......
"Do you like to collect cups?" , Gao Min suddenly asked.
"Your focus is very strange, most people will ask, so many wine glasses, are you a drunkard?" , Shu Neem looked back and smiled, "I'm not a cup control, the main thing is that the needs are different, the functions are different, and the cups are naturally different, just take drinking red wine as an example, the pot-bellied burgundy wine glass can make the aroma of the wine stay longer, suitable for drinking Pinot Noir wine, Cabernet Sauvignon uses a Bordeaux wine glass, champagne needless to say, the official standard is a thin-necked tulip wine glass, in addition, the water should be drunk in a lead-free glass is healthier...... It's not so much a collection fetish as I like a clear division of labor! In other words, all the utensils and furnishings in my house have been selected after I have weighed them, and they must have their value! ”
Shu took off her rubber gloves and looked back at Gao Min, who looked at her kindly with a "However, I have already seen through a qiē" gaze.
It's so frustrating, Shu Neem spread his hands, "I can't live up to anything that is beautiful, I like to collect good things that can make my eyes and mood happy, what's wrong with that?" Don't take Freud's set to dissect me! ”
"Do I have one?" , Gao Min imitated Shu Neem's movements and spread his hands, and said with a smile, "You just think too much"
"It's not that I'm thinking too much, it's that you have too much content in your eyes!"
Gao Min looked away from Shu Neem, almost forgetting that she had a keen intuition, he was really thinking that indulging in collecting might be a projection of compensating psychology, and it was also a manifestation of no sense of completeness, and then thinking of her single-parent background, he was soft-hearted, as if he saw the child who lived in Shu Neem's body, depressed and willful to absorb warmth and snuggling through material abundance.
Being watched silently by the human connections, Shu Neem seems to be able to feel the silent feelings of flowing water, similar to gentle compassion and pity that makes people shudder, but she doesn't appreciate it, no one wants to be seen through in her heart, that feeling is not pleasant, it's like saying, look, you also have shortcomings, weaknesses......
The air froze for a few seconds, Shu Nee shrugged his shoulders, and laughed out loud, "What's the matter with those eyes that love you for thirty seconds, well, Mr. Gao?" Please, don't go deep into your imagination, okay? Let's go around the rooms,"
Gao Min also felt that he was a little overdone, and in time he suppressed the tenderness that was involuntarily revealed, and he responded with the boat, "I'm tired"
"You have seen the living room, the designer made a partition to separate it from the dining room"
"If the house is not big enough, the functional zoning is very important, and I think the wall in the entrance is quite stylish to make a mirror treatment."
"From the perspective of feng shui, putting a mirror in the entrance will cause trouble to the neighbors at the door, strictly speaking, my entrance is an artistic carved glass, not a mercury mirror."
"Can I go to your terrace?"
"I don't have a luxury terrace in my house, it's just a slightly larger balcony, go this way"
Shu took Gao Min through the living room, pushed open the modern black thin-framed glass sliding door, stepped out, stepped on the log floor, and climbed the wrought-iron fence with green vines, presumably the summer flowers will be as beautiful as an upside-down waterfall.
Under the flowers, there is a long column of American-style solid wood industrial tables and chairs, and on the table are placed a set of Monegasque-style windproof candlesticks and a book wrapped in mint green kraft paper. andididn-wanyboddidahinkingandall。
Gao Min read it out with a smile: "It's a completely deceitful nonsense!" Pan Xi is no different from other schools, and he has not cultivated any talents at all. And I haven't met any good brains there! After reading it, he looked up at Shu Neem, "Catcher in the Rye, do you like this book?" ”
Shu Nee took the book from Gao Min's hand, turned the title page, and stroked it gently, "There is no favorite book." Although I didn't tell any warnings, and there was no storyline, I liked it very much, just like looking back on my own growth, I understand very well the chaos and resistance to the adult world that Holden experienced, growing up is like a tsunami, taking away innocence, I have also been a fake person for several years, and I still dare not say that I am completely innocent, not hypocritical at all! ”
"At least you're brave enough to admit it"
"That's me too lazy to pretend!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, looked at the river flowing in the distance for a while, the wind blew a little cold, and Shu Yu went back to the house.
"Let's go into the house, it's almost frozen into popsicles outside, the wind in the southern winter is particularly tricky, blowing at the cracks of the bones, and the cold feeling can't be relieved for half a day...... I really want to make a fireplace, burn pine branches, and lie in a rocking chair with a blanket to keep warm, and I will do it when I am old! ”
