Chapter 152: How Long Does It Take?
"Why don't you eat it? Eat so little? Zhou Qingqing saw it, and she asked softly.
Out of the corner of Shao Mingyang's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Bin handing tissues to Lan Xingye, he retracted his gaze and smiled coldly, "I like to watch you eat." β
Zhou Qingqing was stunned, but he didn't expect this man, he had always been gentle like a cloud that couldn't be captured, but when he spoke sweetly, it was really unbearable. Where else could she care about, only in his gentle smile, a smile back, softly dispersed.
Shao Mingyang turned around again, only to see Lan Xingye eating quietly.
She was like a cloud of air.
But on the contrary, it is quiet and silent, so immersed in the heartstrings.
Finally finished eating, and Lan Xingye only felt that this was like a Hongmen banquet. And they were still talking, and she didn't listen to them.
Lan Xingye couldn't help but speak softly, "Zhang Bin, it's not early, can you go?" β
Zhang Bin chatted for a while, he noticed the time, immediately nodded at Lan Xingye, and then looked ahead, "Mr. Shao, Miss Zhou, I am really happy and thank you for inviting us to dinner today." But it's almost time, so we won't bother. β
Zhou Qingqing said, "It's really not early, so let's go." β
Shao Mingyang immediately said, "Keep accounts." β
"Yes." The waiter on the side nodded immediately.
Then the group left the private room and walked to the outside of the restaurant, where both cars were outside.
When they arrived at the door and were about to part ways, Zhou Qingqing asked, "Should there be any activities below, are you going to watch a movie together?" β
I remember that I was like this with the company's director Duan before, and that time it seemed that I was going to go to the movies.
Zhang Bin did arrange the movie. The ticket was also bought, and he smiled and nodded.
"What's been a good movie lately?"
Zhang Bin reported a few movie names, and Zhou Qingqing said coquettishly, "Hey, I really want to watch it, but Mingyang is too busy and can't always find time." β
Shao Mingyang's busyness. It's true. Don't say it's Zhou Qingqing. I see you once or twice a week. And today I made an appointment to eat together, and I made an appointment last week. It's just too coincidental that I ran into the two of them.
This way. Zhou Qingqing shouted again, "Mingyang, why don't we go to the movies too?" β
"Do you want to go and see it together?" Shao Mingyang said softly, and raised his eyes to Zhang Bin again. "Which movie theater?"
It's strange, it's like an order. Let Zhang Bin report the theater immediately!
Zhou Qingqing was also surprised, this is to ask the four of them to continue to watch movies together?
Lan Xingye didn't want to continue, just for this meal, she was already because Zhang Bin was in the car and asked repeatedly. She couldn't refute him, so she agreed. But watching a movie, Blue Star Night is absolutely unhappy. So. She immediately spoke, "I won't go together to watch a movie." β
Zhou Qingqing smiled. "Huh? Do you think we're bothering you? β
"Of course not." Zhang Bin immediately shook his head and smiled.
Shao Mingyang's eyes stared at Lan Xingye, and he shouted unhurriedly, "Senior sister, why can't we go to the movies together?" β
Lan Xingye found that it was too tiring to play a role like this, she had no acting skills, and she couldn't play such a role, she had never been so smart, and she didn't have this ability. She could only look at him and whispered, "Let's watch the movie separately." β
"Mingyang, the younger sister wants to be alone in the world of two people." Zhou Qingqing held Shao Mingyang's hand and smiled very movingly, "Blue Starry Night, isn't it?" β
Shao Mingyang's eyes became cold, in the night and the oblique light, so unpredictable.
He spat out two words lightly, "Yes." β
On the one hand, Zhang Bin didn't want to offend these two big shots, especially the second young man of the Shao family, and on the other hand, he didn't want to refuse Lan Xingye, so he only looked at her sideways.
Blue Star Night Riding a Tiger is difficult, she has never dared to say anything.
But at this time, she couldn't take care of anything, she just wanted to leave quickly.
So, she said softly, "Zhang Bin, I just want to watch a movie with the two of you." β
The smile on Shao Mingyang's face suddenly became extremely cold, and his eyes also burst with coldness. At this time, a thought arose, and it was such a resentment.
How can she go to the movies with someone else?
He really wanted to strangle her.
Hearing this, Zhou Qingqing smiled, "Look, I'm right, right?" The school girl wants a two-person world. β
Shao Mingyang stopped talking, just smiled and spit out a few words, "Then forget it." β
"Mr. Shao, Miss Zhou, thank you for your hospitality tonight, then let's go first." Zhang Bin was a little embarrassed here, he smiled in a low voice, and then answered with Lan Xingye, and the two walked side by side to the car parked not far away.
Zhou Qingqing looked at their distant figures and said with a smile, "They are really a good match." β
She turned around again and asked, "Mingyang, then what are we going to do next?" β
In fact, Zhou Qingqing just wanted to say that it was better to watch a movie together, but who knew that Shao Mingyang smiled in the next second, "Do you really want to go to the movies?" β
Zhou Qingqing was stunned for the moment, and heard him say, "Such naΓ―ve and superficial." β
"So what are you going to do?" Zhou Qingqing asked again.
Shao Mingyang said, "You didn't say you were going to see an opera before. β
Zhou Qingqing's eyes lit up, "Really? β
Zhou Qingqing likes opera, and recently a well-known foreign opera orchestra came to perform, and she especially wanted to listen to it, but he has been busy. At this moment, he suddenly mentioned it, which made her very happy.
Shao Mingyang smiled silently and nodded, "Get in the car." β
On Shao Mingyang's side, the driver Xiao Li had already driven the car to the door of the restaurant.
On the other side, Lan Xingye and Zhang Bin got into the car.
Zhang Bin is obviously very happy today, not to mention the two big names, and they have dinner together, and his girlfriend still knows them, which is undoubtedly a joy and a joy. But his joy didn't last long, because immediately, Lan Xingye spoke, "Zhang Bin, I thought we were just friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend. β
Zhang Bin drove the car, and he was stunned. "I thought you agreed."
"No, it's just what you think. In fact, we only met twice, didn't we? Blue Starry Night asked softly.
Indeed, this is only the second time.
"So what do you mean?" Zhang Bin already had a hunch in her heart, what she might say.
Lan Xingye felt a little guilty, because this blind date, she was completely driven to the shelves. So she apologized. "I'm really sorry, Zhang Bin, I'm coming over today. I want to say to you, I'm sorry, I don't think we're a good fit. β
With the previous hunch, Zhang Bin was not too surprised this time. It's just that he still feels a little depressed, but it's not that he can't let go. "No, I was too wishful thinking, I thought we had a good conversation that day, and I thought you did the same to me."
"I'm sorry." Blue Star Night can only apologize.
Zhang Bin looked at the blue starry night. This girl is quiet and well-behaved, free and has a gentle and quiet temperament, which he likes. He smiled, "It's okay. You don't have to apologize, in fact, you get along with me, maybe you think I'm good? β
"You're fine, it's just that I have no plans to get married." Blue Star Night told the truth.
Zhang Bin said, "You shouldn't have been dragged by your grandmother and Aunt Teng, right?" β
Blue Star Night was even more embarrassed, because this was the case.
Zhang Bin laughed, so happy, "Hey, in fact, I am too, my mother sees that I am almost thirty years old, and I don't have a girlfriend by my side, so she insisted on letting me go on a blind date." To be honest, I didn't know it at first, and I found out when I went, but I do have a crush on you. β
"It's just that since you don't mean this to me, then I won't force you." Although, he still has some regrets.
Lan Xingye breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhang Bin, I want to trouble you with one more thing......"
"Alright, I know what's going on. In this way, after I go back, I will tell Aunt SΓΉ Teng, I didn't take a fancy to you, is this okay? Zhang Bin obviously guessed what her embarrassment was.
Lan Xingye couldn't have imagined that he would be so honest and calm, let alone that he would help her solve her troubles like this, but her friendliness to him increased a little, "Thank you, Zhang Bin." β
"You're welcome, you can't be a lover, it's always okay to be a friend, right?" Zhang Bin said briskly.
Lan Xingye smiled, "Of course." β
"And what about tonight's movie? I've bought all my movie tickets, and it's a waste not to watch them. Zhang Bin asked.
Lan Xingye thought about it, it was still early, she hadn't watched a movie for a long time, and he was really ashamed that he had helped her with such a big trouble, so she also responded cheerfully, "Let's go see it together!" β
********************
In the screening room of the movie theater, a blockbuster movie is playing.
In the middle position, Zhang Bin and Lan Xingye sat quietly watching. It was pitch black in the screening room, only the screen was projected, it was a comedy movie, so there was laughter from time to time. But I don't know what happened, all of a sudden, the screen froze, and the screening room gradually lit up!
The audience who came to watch here was in a hurry, "What's going on?" "It's so good, don't let people see it?" "yes, what the hell is going on?"
Everyone refused, and they all got up to understand the current situation.
Just when there was a commotion, I saw a man who seemed to be the manager walk in and said to everyone, "I'm sorry, audience, because there is something wrong with the theater temporarily, so today's screening is here for the time being." We apologize to all of you, and in order to make up for your losses, we will apply for a membership gold card for you, and for the next quarter you will be free to watch movies at the theater for the next quarter-"
"Wow!" Someone screamed on the spot, so happy that they couldn't help themselves.
Who would complain about such a good thing and who would refuse?
Naturally, it got a big bargain, so you have to accept it as soon as you see it, but it's just a movie, giving up today, but getting a quarter of ********, this is simply a big pie in the world.
So, the manager said, "Please get your VIP Gold card when you leave!" β
Everyone stood up and excitedly went down in turn to get the gold card.
Zhang Bin was curious, "How can there be such a good thing?" β
Lan Xingye also felt suspicious, "Yes." β
I don't know what happened to the movie theater to do such a loss-making activity. It's just that they didn't think much about it, and they got up one after another to get the gold card.
"Shall we go too, then?" Zhang Bin said.
Blue Star nodded in the night.
The two of them were afraid that it would be too crowded, so they watched the people almost go. Only then did he get up without hurrying. When I walked out of the screening room, I received a membership card from the staff at the door. Lan Xingye took the gold card and immediately handed it to him, "Here you go, you take it." β
"Huh? Why don't you? Zhang Bin asked.
"I don't usually watch much movies, so you can keep it and come over with friends to watch movies in the future. It's free for both people. Blue Starry Night said with a smile. The card was handed to him.
Zhang Bin refused to ask for it, shook his head and said, "This is not good." I'm going to the cinema, but also with my girlfriend, of course I pay for it, how can I take you. You'd better keep it. β
Obviously, Zhang Bin also has his own pride. Blue Starry Night didn't force it.
The two of them put away their gold cards and walked outside.
They were the last to come out, so there were almost no people in the movie at this time, only a few people in front of them who were just leaving.
The two were even more surprised. It seems that the entire theater was cleared the whole time, and I don't know what the reason is. It's just that they don't want to speculate anymore, and it's none of their business anyway. The two chatted. While walking out of the theater.
The long elevator in the theater descends straight down, and there is a neon light outside.
It's still early. It's just over nine.
"I didn't see the movie, but I still have to send you back." Zhang Bin said with a smile, and Lan Xingye said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry for you." β
"It should." Zhang Bin responded happily.
But just as he was walking outside, someone suddenly came up to him.
"Miss Lan." This shout made both of them stop, and Zhang Bin couldn't help but look up.
And Blue Starry Night also turned around, but saw a familiar face.
It turned out to be the driver Xiao Li!
Naturally, Zhang Bin also recognized him, because of Shao Mingyang's ridicule, he had been embarrassed so many times just now, how could he not remember!
It's just that this driver is here, so-
Almost instantly, his eyes swept ahead, and in the black luxury car, the window was not half lowered, and there was no Shao Jiashao who was smoking a cigarette calmly. It's just that he doesn't seem to be there, but why did his driver show up?
"Miss Lan, Mr. Shao said to give you a ride." Xiao Li said.
Lan Xingye frowned, and she said softly, "No need, thank you." β
"Zhang Bin, let's go." Lan Xingye shouted and walked directly to the side. Zhang Bin is still a little confused, but he has also taken a step.
Xiao Li is embarrassed, but he can't help it.
got into the car, Zhang Bin drove to Huaxi Road with Lan Xingye. It was only in the car that Zhang Bin also realized something. For example, the second young man of the Shao family seems to have no hostility, Zhang Bin is not a person without feelings, but it is necessary to bow his head a little in the shopping mall, and that young man is by no means idle. But at this moment, it was suddenly clear to him.
"Blue Starry Night, it seems that Mr. Shao ...... Your seniors care about you. Zhang Bin whispered.
Zhang Bin is even speculating whether the half of Fang Cai's movie will also be made by the second young man of the Shao family?
It's unlikely, but it's not completely impossible, and it's too coincidental!
Lan Xingye was even more embarrassed, she could only say, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry today." β
*************
Bidding farewell to Zhang Bin downstairs, Lan Xingye smiled and left. As soon as she returned to the apartment, Zhang Sisi was still taking a shower, and knowing that she was coming back today, she shouted in the bathroom, "Ah Ye, why did you come back so early?" Didn't you go on a blind date? And how about that object? β
Lan Xingye was upset, and replied casually, "That's it." β
At this time, the phone in the apartment rang, and Lan Xingye subconsciously went to answer it. But as soon as she picked up the "hey", who knew that there was a strange but familiar male voice on the other end-
"The movie is good, isn't it?" His lukewarm voice came, and Blue Star was dumbfounded.
Shao Mingyang!
His call came to the apartment!
Lan Xingye suddenly became angry, she was also wondering if it was him, but she didn't expect it to be him!
She suddenly didn't know what to say, and it took her a while to squeeze out three words, "Neurotic!" β
Lan Xingye hung up the line here, and simply pulled out the phone line!
On the other side, in the S City Opera House, in the VIP private room upstairs, Shao Mingyang was holding his mobile phone. Suddenly hearing the sound of "neurosis", he was suddenly a little stunned.
Blue Starry Night, she actually said that he was insane?
Oh, you wait and see.
*********************************
This morning, Zhang Bin was busy in Kedong Company.
Suddenly, a phone call came in, and Zhang Bin picked it up unhurriedly, "Hey? β
An unfamiliar number is displayed. So he didn't know who it was.
The next second. There was a strange man's voice on the other end, "Mr. Zhang, hello." I am the assistant of Mr. Shao of Shaw Group, and Mr. Shao would like to invite you to have afternoon tea with you this afternoon. β
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the second young man of the Shao family would take the initiative to contact him!
Zhang Bin was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. "Okay, I'm free."
There was another place on the other end. Zhang Bin made a note, "I'll be there on time." β
Zhang Bin already had a cognition in his heart after the previous movie theater incident. Since it was the second young man who came to the door, then he naturally couldn't hide.
It was noon. Zhang Bin went to the teahouse where the meeting was agreed.
The Tang Dynasty teahouse is one of the best in S City, and this teahouse is still the place where he and Lan Xingye met on a blind date before. Here Zhang Bin parked the car and walked in.
At the entrance, there was a waiter smiling and asking. "How many of you, sir?"
"I'm looking for someone." Zhang Bin immediately spoke. reported a name, "Mr. Shao of the Shaw Family." β
As soon as he heard this name, the manager on the side immediately stepped forward, "Mr. Shao is in the private room upstairs, please come here." β
The second Shao Brothers is really extraordinary, and the manager personally came to entertain the guests!
Zhang Bin was escorted upstairs by the manager and came to a private room, the door was pushed open, and Shao Mingyang was sitting in the elegant room.
He sat there in a suit, a cup of tea in his hand, a clearly smiling face, and when he raised his eyes, he came without hurrying, and the suffocation and depression that Zhang Bin had felt before in his heart resurfaced. He quickly retracted his thoughts and walked inside.
"Mr. Shao." Zhang Bin shouted.
"Sit down." Shao Mingyang spoke lightly, and his voice was as low as an order.
Zhang Bin sat down in silence, and Shao Mingyang poured a cup of tea with his hands, and then handed it to him. Where did Zhang Bin dare to bear it, he immediately took it, "Thank you, Mr. Shao." β
Shao Mingyang smiled faintly, but his eyes were cold, "Do you know what I came to you for today?" β
He suddenly spoke, and Zhang Bin's heart trembled again, was it because he went to the movies with Blue Star Night yesterday?
He pondered for a while, but he didn't dare to speak, so he had to say, "Mr. Shao, please make it clear." β
Shao Mingyang's indifferent gaze swept away, and he said slowly, "I want to invite you to the Shaw Clan, what do you think?" β
Zhang Bin thought of thousands of possibilities, all of which were finished by himself, but he really didn't expect that Shao Mingyang would invite him to Shaw Brothers! This is indeed flattering!
"This ......" Zhang Bin was confused for a while.
Shaw Group, compared with the current Kedong company, is a jump of several levels, according to the strength of the development according to the prospect, undoubtedly accept the invitation is the best choice. I'm afraid that no one would refuse such a good thing. Zhang Bin really shouldn't refuse, but he was really afraid.
"What? You don't want to? Shao Mingyang asked with a smile.
"No, of course not......" Zhang Bin immediately denied it, how could he not be willing!
Zhang Bin smiled and said cautiously, "It's just too sudden, I didn't expect Mr. Shao to invite me." β
"I've read your file, you have been in Kedong for three years, from an ordinary employee to a supervisor, and you have handled several projects in your hands, and you have done a good job. Shaw Brothers is in great need of good employees like you, and as for you, it is your own intention to accept the invitation or not. Shao Mingyang smiled faintly.
"But I don't think anyone who is smart will miss this opportunity." He said another sentence that shocked people's hearts.
Indeed, no smart person refuses!
Zhang Bin thought about it carefully, why not, but is it really just that simple?
"Mr. Shao invited me like this, of course I have no reason to refuse, and I am very happy to join Shaw Brothers." Zhang Bin didn't think much about it, and responded first.
Shao Mingyang played with the teacup, put it down gently, and said slowly, "Since this is the case, then I will resign and leave Kedong to report to Shaw Brothers." β
"Yes." Zhang Bin nodded.
"You have to quit this week." He was another order.
Zhang Bin was in difficulty, "But Mr. Shao, I still have a project ...... here."
"Regarding personnel issues, I will solve them for you, and your superior manager should not embarrass you." Shao Mingyang's smile was inexplicably very calm.
Zhang Bin was stunned, he had already arranged to find his superiors!
"Next Monday, you will go to the United States with a new batch of key employees of the company for training." Immediately after that, he said again.
Zhang Bin was dumbfounded, "Mr. Shao, how long does the training take?" (To be continued.) )
