Chapter 22: Do You Remember Me?
The night scene is pleasant, and the bright stars are dotted on the two of them, like a beautiful picture only in a fine movie. The cool river breeze blew, but Lan Xin, who should have felt comfortable, was tense, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her palms, so she was not cramped. Even the gentle gaze that looked at Xiao Zheng was slightly dodgy, and he didn't dare to look at it directly.
On the other hand, Xiao Zheng, in the face of Lan Xin's unintentional statement, did not hide it at all, grinned, and smiled quite calmly: "The money in my pocket can't afford to buy a ferry ticket." ”
Not everyone can afford to pay for a ferry ticket of 1,000 yuan. Xiao Zheng, who is sitting on a mountain of empty food, has already spent all his savings, let alone buying a ferry ticket, and even has to take it leisurely for the next restaurant, for fear that he will not be able to receive his salary.
He spoke lightly and saw through it, without feeling the slightest dullness. But it made Lan Xin sad for a while. In her eyes, there are only two kinds of men in this world who don't care about face and dignity, one is the mentally handicapped with low emotional intelligence, and the other is the man who is tortured by the cruel reality and resigned himself to his fate. Even the latter, when there is room for struggle, does not want to be easily looked down upon.
But what about Xiao Zheng?
He didn't even hide his mood, and calmly confided the truth, with an indifferent face.
Is this still the little overlord in Pearl No. 1?
Lan Xin was very distressed. But she didn't dare to show the slightest expression on her pretty face, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't think you have no money to buy tickets, but you think that sitting here can enjoy the big beauties coming in and out." ”
Xiao Zheng didn't explain, snapped his fingers and said: "According to my research in the past half an hour, there are really a lot of beauties on the Pearl No. 1. ”
Lan Xin stroked the green silk in her ear, pursed her lips and smiled: "Let's go up." ”
Xiao Zheng nodded, and followed Lan Xin to the Pearl No. 1, which made ordinary citizens daunted. Although the intention was not obvious, it was quickly detected by the discerning blue heart. Xiao Zheng was on the pace, obviously a little slower than half a beat. It's not respect for Blue Heart, it's still the habit of being a dwarf.
The ground floor of Pearl One is the restaurant with the largest customer capacity. There are booths and boxes, and the geographical location is different, and the consumption level is also different. But when it comes to dishes and services, they are all at the most cutting-edge level of Pearl. The minimum cost of a four-seater dining table with a panoramic view of the night view from the window alone is 8,888, not including drinks. The box with a pleasant environment and a better perspective is basically tens of thousands, and there is no minimum consumption.
On the first floor, in addition to the seafood restaurant that occupies half of the layout, there are also elegant tea houses, cafes, massage rooms and other leisure places. It is suitable for sobering up and resting after eating and drinking. Xiao Zheng thought that dinner would be eaten at an atmospheric and luxurious seafood restaurant, but as soon as he entered the first floor, a grandly dressed lobby manager walked towards the two.
"Mr. Lan. The location has already helped you get ready. Would you rather go straight up for a meal, or do you want to go for a while first? ”
Lan Xin turned around and asked Xiao Zheng, "Are you hungry?" ”
Xiao nodded and said, "It's already on the front chest and back." ”
"Then let's go eat first." Lan Xin said that, and was led straight to the third floor by the lobby manager.
On the second floor, there are wonderful acrobatic performances, as well as the ** beauty show that men love to watch. These are offered free of charge to guests, and are worth the expensive 1,000 tickets. The third floor is a higher-grade and more elegant restaurant. With the same floor space as the first floor, the number of guests can be reduced by half. The cuisine is wide from all over the world. The first floor is dominated by airborne seafood. The back kitchen on the third floor is home to chefs from all over the world. As long as you want it, the kitchen will definitely make it. Basically all the needs of the guests are met.
When the lobby manager led Lan Xin, an important guest, to the deck with the most transparent view, Xiao Zheng's lips finally flashed an embarrassed smile.
It's too big, isn't it?
The restaurant area on the third floor is already expensive, and it can be expensive to book a table at any time, let alone on the deck with only one table?
This deck is not a modest deck for a fishing boat, but a luxuriously decorated top-notch dining station with a sparkling star. Standing here, you can not only overlook the sparkling river, but also have a glimpse of the pearl night view on the shore. Spacious and airy, with an elegant environment. It can be said to be the most expensive seat on the third floor.
On the table there is a smooth cloth and two softly lit white candles. Even the dining chair is finely made, and as soon as you sit down, you can only feel soft and comfortable.
After the two of them were seated, two elegant ladies in cheongsams came with red wine, poured half a glass in the expensive goblet, and then stood on both sides, waiting for the guests' orders.
In the face of this high-standard dining environment, Lan Xin, who is used to seeing big scenes, is accustomed to it, but she is somewhat worried that Xiao Zheng, who lives at the bottom of the society, will not be adaptable, and she does not dare to assert herself, but asks with a soft face: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I chose this place, there are all kinds of dishes here, you can see what you want to eat." ”
As he spoke, a cheongsam girl standing next to him came over with a recipe. But at the moment when Xiao Zheng took the recipe, Lan Xin suddenly realized a serious problem.
The recipes are not in Chinese at all, and in addition to English, the most common is also French. Basically, the text is based on the popularity of the cuisine. The style is so high that many customers may not be able to order food skillfully, even if they have money. Lan Xin believes that with Xiao Zheng's English level, it is not a big problem to order ordinary cuisine, but if you order French and Japanese food, there is a risk of not being able to read and write.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Zhengfu took over the recipe, she also opened the recipe and said kindly: "In fact, the taste of our Chinese people is still relatively specific, and we are not used to eating those messy dishes at all." ”
Due to the needs of work, Lan Xin has systematically studied most mainstream languages. Even if it is not too high, there is no problem with normal communication or recognition. But as she spoke, she ordered a few dishes for herself that were labeled in English. It can be regarded as a good start for Xiao Zheng to prevent Xiao Zheng from being illiterate and falling into embarrassment.
"Come to such a high-end restaurant to eat, how can you order some dishes that can be eaten in an ordinary restaurant?" Xiao Zheng flipped through a few pages of recipes and casually said a few dishes that are not well-known but are highly sought after by senior gourmets. France, Australia, including South Africa, you name it. The standard Chinese languages are spoken. One of South Africa's most famous dishes is even Blue Heart. A hint of surprise flashed on her pretty face, and she closed the recipe and said, "Then I'll order the same as you." ”
After that, he instructed the cheongsam girl to take back the recipe and deliver the order.
After the cheongsam girl left, Lan Xin also invited another girl away, creating a quiet and beautiful world for two. She took a sip of wine, brushed her hair that was blown by the river breeze, and asked with a soft and hazy gaze, "How can you speak so many languages?" And listening to your pronunciation, at least it has reached the international standard, have you studied it systematically? ”
Xiao Zheng smiled without being restrained: "It's not a systematic study, it's just that I can learn two sentences when I have the opportunity, maybe I am a little talented in language, and it's not too difficult to learn." ”
"Most people don't take the time to learn so many languages." Lan Xin looked curious, as if she had taken off the noble coat of the CFO of Xinao, and asked with the mentality of a little daughter. "What did you do before you joined ENN?"
"I do everything, when I first came out of society, I also moved bricks on the construction site, carried ash buckets, and then slowly gained work experience, so I did some slightly easier work, but speaking of which, most of the time I still rely on physical strength to eat, which is not worth mentioning." Xiao Zheng said with a relaxed face.
Xiao Zheng is not lying, he has just come out of the army, and he has indeed worked on the construction site. Later, he went abroad and did all the work of pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers. Not to mention physical strength, but also courage. A pair of rough palms full of calluses can be seen that Xiao Zheng has definitely not had an easy time these years.
Listening to Xiao Zheng's rambling conversation, Lan Xin's heart was bitter. But he pressed hard, raised his eyes and asked, "Then do you still have contact with your old classmates?" As far as I know, our alumni of No. 1 Middle School have produced a lot of talents. ”
Xiao Zhengniu drank half a glass of red wine, spit out a mouthful of turbidity and said: "I'm a bad student who dropped out of school halfway, and people are afraid that they won't be able to hide from me, who will take the initiative to contact me." ”
Lan Xin said excitedly: "Who said that dropping out of school halfway is a bad student? Everyone should have the right to self-choice. ”
Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned, and said strangely: "Mr. Lan." Could it be that you dropped out of school halfway through? If I accidentally uncovered your scars, I sincerely apologize to you. ”
With that, he raised his glass and drank it all, heartily.
"Good wine!"
Xiao Zheng has been living a poor life since he returned to China. Not to mention this kind of high-end red wine that costs tens of thousands of yuan a bottle, even if it is a bottle of inferior foreign wine for hundreds of yuan, he is not willing to drink it a few times. Now that Bai Fumei has a treat, he wants to feast and drink.
Mei Zizi poured herself a full glass, but Lan Xin, who was watching on the side, said softly: "Drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your body, wait for the food, I will accompany you to get drunk and rest." ”
Xiao Zheng looked strange, looked at Lan Xin with a slightly confused look, and finally asked cautiously: "Mr. Lan, have we met before?" ”
Lan Xinmei's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Do you remember me?" ”
Xiao Zheng shook his head in confusion: "I don't remember." But I think you're a little familiar, maybe where have we met? ”
Lan Xin couldn't hide the surging in her chest, her jade hand clenched the wine glass tightly, and her eyes burned and said, "Think about it again, my name is Lan Xin!" ”
Xiao Zheng said embarrassedly: "Mr. Lan." Of course I know your name is Blue Heart. But—I still have a bit of a sense of déjà vu for what you look like. But the name, I really can't remember. ”
Lan Xin was a little lost, but she didn't blame Xiao Zheng for being so unfamiliar with herself, not to mention a man of the year in high school like him, even many unknown classmates, after seeing herself, it was difficult to think of Lan Xin in high school. At that time, she was low-key and ordinary, and even her outstanding academic performance was drowned in the top experimental class. There is no trace.
But because of this, Lan Xin finally made up her mind to give everything and everything.
She couldn't bear the torture of not knowing Xiao Zheng, and she didn't want to deceive the man she had vowed to like for the rest of her life. The psychological quality honed in the shopping mall could not make her comfortable in the face of Xiao Zheng, and her heart surged again and again at a loss, and even every word she said seemed to burn her soul.
She's had enough of concealment, and she's tired of pretending, even if it's just for a day, but it's exhausting both physically and mentally.
Seven years of waiting in exchange for an unexpected meeting, isn't this God's attachment to her?
Lan Xin raised her head and drank the red wine, her pretty face quickly appeared with an intoxicating flush, and she was about to muster up the courage to tell Xiao Zheng everything, when a slightly mocking baritone quietly floated from afar.
"Mr. Lan. You actually expect a man who fools around with his little sister all day long to think of you? It is no exaggeration to say that even if he says that he thinks of you, he is afraid that he has ulterior motives. Instead of really remembering who you are and what you have done for him. ”
