Chapter 36: Mo Chou Road
I prepared the notebook, Luo Sumei drove me to a very high-end club, we were guided by the waiter to a ** private room, the waiter said to us a little apologetically: "Two, I'm not sorry, I just received a notice from Miss Li, she will take about 20 minutes to arrive, let's have something first." β
Luo Sumei replied professionally: "It's okay if we wait for a while." β
"What do you two want to drink?"
"Bring me a cup of tea."
The waiter asked me again, "What about you, sir?" β
"Whatever." I replied in a distracted way, I began to calculate the time from the time I first entered the club, and at first I thought: if it goes well, there is still time to rush to the Culture and Art Center to see Xiao Ai's performance, but the other party's behavior of changing the time has made my plan frustrated.
The waiter gave me an awkward look and left, bringing two cups of tea to me and Russell Mei a moment later, and our wait had just begun......
In the process, I took out my mobile phone because I was bored, and looked at some newly released friend dynamics in the WeChat circle of friends, one of which was posted by Chen Yi 20 minutes ago, she posted a few photos of enjoying food with her girlfriends, my appetite was suddenly stimulated, and I replied below "Zhumen wine and meat stinky road with frozen bones" such sour words.
A few minutes later, Chen Yi sent me a private chat message and asked, "Haven't you gotten off work yet?" β
"Well, Mr. Xiao who made an appointment with Jinding Real Estate talked about wedding planning, but the customer bullied the store, and the person hasn't come yet, saying that he has to wait for 20 minutes."
"It's pathetic!"
"Aren't you going to sympathize with me?"
Chen Yi replied with a distressed expression, and asked again, "When are you done?" I treat you to a late-night snack. β
I thought that by the time I was done, Xiao Ai's side was almost over the show, so it would be better to let Chen Yi invite me to have supper to solve my pain of being tormented by hunger, so I replied: "I don't know, it may be 8 o'clock, it may be 9 o'clock...... But in my heart, I especially want you to be patient, and just wait for me. β
"Send me an address, and I'll pick you up when you're done."
"Drunk, emperor-level treatment! Wait, I'll ask for the exact address here. β
After I asked for the address with Luo Sumei, I sent it to Chen Yi, and the mood suddenly became better, and the phone began to hum a little song before I put it in my mouth, but Luo Sumei next to me was not as excited as me, she had been waiting calmly with the tiredness accumulated throughout the day.
I asked her, "Boss, didn't you say that Jin Qiu is coming back soon, it's October soon, why haven't you seen her come back yet?" β
Speaking of Jin Qiu, Luo Sumei's face finally had a smile, and she replied: "She still has a few school departure procedures to go through, anyway, it's fast, and she can't be sure of the specific time now." β
I nodded, and then there was not much to talk to Luo Sumei, so I fell into a boring wait again, about 10 minutes later, the door was finally opened by the waiter again, and then a luxuriously dressed, jeweled woman about 30 years old walked in, Luo Sumei immediately got up to greet her, I estimated that this is the customer we were waiting for, out of professional courtesy, I also stood up with Luo Sumei, but I already felt her arrogance from the aura she showed.
Luo Sumei asked her with a smile, "Miss Li, didn't Mr. Xiao come with you?" β
She replied with an ugly face: "He has a meeting, he doesn't have time to come over today, you can just talk to me about the wedding, I did the master." β
I estimated that Mr. Xiao should have agreed to be with her, but because the meeting was overdue, she vented her emotions on me and Luo Sumei, but she didn't show due apologies at all because of her tardiness.
After she sat down, Luo Sumei and I began to listen to her like a low-level subordinate to her one by one that was not so easy to fulfill, and I wanted to interrupt her several times from a professional point of view, telling her that the request was unreasonable, but Luo Sumei stopped her, and in the 6 years I have worked, I have never seen such a tough and non-negotiable customer.
After listening to her for more than an hour, Luo Sumei and I ended this very torturous conversation. When I got off the elevator, I finally gossiped with puzzled doubts, and I asked Luo Sumei: "Boss, what is the origin of this woman, this shelf is too big, I have never seen such a difficult customer!" β
Luo Sumei also smiled helplessly for a while, and then replied: "Xiao is always married for the second time, this Miss Li is a typical little third testimony, in fact, she and Mr. Xiao already have a 4-year-old illegitimate child, but I don't know for what reason, Mr. Xiao has not been willing to give her a name, this is not finally going to turn over, can you not put the hostess's shelf enough!" β
I nodded suddenly, and then asked Luo Sumei seriously: "Boss, you are also very annoying to her, right?" β
"It's so annoying!"
β¦β¦
Walking out of the clubhouse, the first thing I saw was Chen Yi's red Audi A4, and she was standing next to the car waiting, I quickened my pace to her, she looked at me and smiled, and asked, "It's hard work, if you want to eat something, I invite you." β
"I'm happy to eat anything."
At this time, Luo Sumei also came to our side, and Chen Yi greeted her with a smile: "Aunt Luo." β
Luo Sumei has always liked Chen Yi very much, she took Chen Yi's hand very affectionately and asked, "Come to pick up this kid from Jiangqiao?" β
"Well, he's been quite tired lately, and I want to take him to improve his food."
Luo Sumei looked at me and smiled, and said, "Chen Yi, this girl is really good to you, I'm afraid even my girlfriend may not be able to do her level, right?" β
A warm current surged in my heart, and I looked at Chen Yi who was standing in front of me generously, and I couldn't wait to hold her hand in the next second, but in reality, the window that couldn't be opened separated the distance between me and Chen Yi, so that I couldn't do anything, and finally just said to Chen Yi: "Chen Yi, you tell us the boss, how do I treat you, and I'm no worse than your future boyfriend, right?" β
Chen Yi nodded to Luo Sumei very surely, and then couldn't help laughing, probably laughing at me for asking a little naΓ―ve, but she didn't know the real helplessness in my heart, I didn't want to mention her future boyfriend, but only by using her future boyfriend as a shield, it seemed that we were a very normal friend, although this kind of friend relationship was a bit too close, but it still belonged to the category of friends.
Sure enough, Luo Sumei said: "I see that you have also reached the age when men are married and women are married, since you have each other in your heart, it is better to make a couple, I can make a decision on behalf of Lao Jin, and all the expenses of your wedding will be paid by our company, which is a wedding gift from me and Lao Jin." β
Chen Yi was silent, just looked at me, and the atmosphere immediately became a little awkward.
I smiled exaggeratedly and said to Luo Sumei: "Boss, your joke is about to go international, how can I marry Chen Yi?" An excellent man like me, without experiencing three or four relationships, how can he show my legendary life, marriage or something is too far away from me! β
"My joke hasn't reached the international arena yet, and you've blown the cow to the sky."
The awkward atmosphere was finally relieved when Russo Mei teased me, and then Russell left first on the pretext of not disturbing us, but I was still a little overwhelmed by her words that seemed more like a joke......
β¦β¦
After getting into Chen Yi's car, she wanted to invite me to eat the proper Subang cuisine, but I insisted on drinking beer and eating skewers, she couldn't resist me, and finally accompanied me to eat skewers in the barbecue restaurant on the side of the road, but I was full of wine and food I didn't want to go back immediately, and asked her to accompany me for a walk, she couldn't bear my insistence, and once again chose to compromise, but the road we walked on was no longer called tulips.
We walked on a road called Mochou nearby, in fact, the only commendable thing about this Mochou Road is only its name, many buildings here are left before the last century, obviously not too scientifically planned, so high and low, it seems very disordered, and you can see some small restaurants that have not been renovated and have poor hygiene, but they are not short of business at all, but these diners, most of them are numb, and their faces seem to be written with the hardships of living in the bottom society, It made me feel a little depressed......
I think the reason why this road is called Mochou Road is to warn those who are not living well to believe in Mochou and forget the inequalities and sufferings in life.
I lit a cigarette and walked without squinting, while Chen Yi walked around and took a look, and suddenly she grabbed me and said, "Jiangqiao, when did there become an extra coffee shop over there?" It seems to be quite lively inside. β
I looked sideways, and sure enough, there was a coffee shop called "Mochou" in the south of the road, and there was a young man playing the guitar and singing in it......
I finally smiled and said to Chen Yi: "The boss is really affectionate enough to open a coffee shop on this road!" β
Chen Yi responded with a smile in response, and then proposed, "Why don't you go in and sit for a while?" β
I looked at the time, it was already half past ten in the middle of the night, and said, "Next time, we all have to go back to rest, don't you have a big live broadcast to do tomorrow?" β
Chen Yi looked at the coffee shop again before replying: "Yes, if you don't say it, I'm about to forget, I'll send you back now." β
"No need, it's taken up so much of your time, I'll just take a taxi myself. Hurry up and go back to rest, it's not something to be taken lightly by doing a large-scale live broadcast. I stretched out my hand to hail a taxi, but I was reluctant to part with her like this, if I hadn't just looked at the time, I really didn't want to believe that it was half past ten in the middle of the night.
Chen Yi waved goodbye to me, and the moment I opened the car door, I turned back to her, stopped all movements and asked her, "Tonight, are we a very formal date?" β
My unannounced question made Chen Yi stunned for a moment, and finally she nodded to me with a smile, affirming that this was a date, I made an OK gesture to her in a frenzy, and finally said, "I'll make an appointment with you another day, how about it?" β
Chen Yi also made an OK gesture to me, and then I got into the taxi, and then in the speed of the car, I looked back at Mochou Road, which had been retreating, and Chen Yi, who was standing on the side of the road and still hadn't left......
β¦β¦
On the way, I received a message from Zhao Mu, who said that Xiao Ai, a girl, had been waiting in our small courtyard and asked me to give her an explanation why she didn't believe her words and didn't go to see her performance.
I suddenly felt a headache, and realized that this sometimes unreasonable girl, began to be more serious with me again, I did promise her to go before, but because of work, I failed to fulfill my promise, but in her eyes there is no excuse to excuse, I seem to have seen the picture of her and me turning their faces later
