Chapter 839 - Common Topic (Plus 5)
Qin Wanshu naturally didn't care.
After hearing Lorraine's explanation, of course she understood.
Not only her, but Jiang Yan is also very understanding, even Lan Lan, who has never been very talkative, knows that this complicated relationship between wealthy families may occasionally be maintained by this strange way of communication, so Lorraine is going to meet that Pantene tonight, which does not make everyone feel uncomfortable.
Because for Lorraine, they all know that Lorraine is a man who puts business first.
Naturally, he won't ruin his career because of some women's things.
Of course, they also know very well that this Pantene has a bad reputation in the capital, and it seems that she is a well-known "water-based poplar"? - Anyway, her reputation is not good, and I don't know who first spread about her style of life, anyway, Pantene's inappropriate style of life is not a secret for a long time.
But here's what's interesting......
Since the news spread, there never seemed to be any man around Pantene, except for her brother Pan Jiajun, who really had never seen a man stand by his side for more than a minute.
Among the wealthy families, of course, there are also those thrill-seeking playboys, who are thinking, since this Pantene is a water-based poplar woman as the rumors say, then why don't I just talk to her? Maybe I can catch the Pan family's ride by the way, and after I get married in the future, I can still play with her, and I can play with mine?
There are not a few wealthy heirs who have this idea, but they are all closed to Pantene without exception, and Pantene's eyes are very uncomfortable. Strictly speaking, when Pantene saw their intentions at that time, her charming eyes immediately changed, and it could not be said to be contemptuous...... That would be pity at all, looking at them with a clown look, so every man who communicated with Pantene with that idea was trampled on by Pantene in terms of self-esteem.
It's a cold rejection, but it's more ironic than a blunt rejection.
Of course, most of these men who have eaten behind closed doors from Pantene will indignantly say to themselves in private: "What kind of dignified are you pretending to be dignified after scolding Gabazi?!" Lang women are Lang women, when a female cousin still wants to set up an archway, it's really boring! β
However, let these superficial playboys, spend their whole lives, and it is estimated that they can't understand the mind of a woman like Pantene. Therefore, Pantene looks at them with that kind of pity, and there is really nothing wrong with it, and men who think like this will always be sad.
On the surface, Pantene was ruined by the false reputation she had created, but she looked at the words of the daughter of the Pan family from an objective standpoint...... Seriously, excellent, very good. Her excellence is different from Han Xuan's excellence.
Han Xuan is a standard princess, her appearance, temperament, words and deeds, manners, every detail is impeccable. And under these perfect internal and external conditions, she still has a liver and gallbladder and potential that are not weaker than any man, which is beyond the reach of many women.
As for Pantene, it's different, when it comes to appearance, temperament, words and deeds, and manners, she also has it, compared with Han Xuan's feeling of a noble princess, she belongs to the style of a bewitching queen, as for courage and talent, she also has her own opinions on many things, at least, in terms of heart and spirit, it is already something that many men can't compare.
Therefore, putting aside the rumors that Pantene deliberately ruined her reputation, Pantene and Han Xuan, the two daughters of wealthy families, really form a stark contrast.
However, it is such a woman, but Lorraine doesn't care about her at all, and she doesn't like her at all. It's good to say that Lorraine is the kind of person who cares about rumors and criticism, but he is not.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In this peculiar atmosphere, night falls quietly.
Tonight's starry sky is particularly brilliant, and the bright night sky shines with a glimmer of light from time to time, making this beautiful and sunken metropolis even more charming.
The place where Lorraine and Pantene met was a very stylish lovers' hotel restaurant.
This restaurant is exclusively for the discerning who want privacy, and they operate in a unique way.
On cloudy days, this restaurant is closed.
It is only open when the weather is nice.
Because, the business address of this restaurant is on the rooftop of one of the tallest buildings in the whole of Beijing!
The night sky is clear, melodious music, stars flashing from time to time, and elegant and polite waiters slowly shuttle through this stylish rooftop restaurant.
Every couple of men and women on a date is elegant and sweet to tell each other their hearts, staggered, delicacies, rich and mellow aroma of wine, wafting under this fresh night.
And in this harmonious atmosphere, the atmosphere between a man and a woman feels very playful.
Since the two of them sat down here, they haven't said a word, a word, except for ordering.
They each ate their own food, each drank their own drink, and they didn't even have the most basic clinking glasses, in the eyes of others, maybe these were two awkward couples, but they ...... But it was the first "date".
The atmosphere is subtle, but people don't pay much attention to it, mainly because of the light, and no one can see the looks of this man and this woman.
But if someone sees and recognizes these two people clearly, it is estimated that they will immediately take out their mobile phones to take pictures of this rare scene.
This man and woman are Lorraine and Pantene who are sitting together "on date" for "some reason".
The glittering candle flame flickered and shone brightly, illuminating the delicate faces of both of them from time to time.
A handsome man and a bewitching beauty are simply a perfect match, but ...... The two kept their distance.
The two remained silent until ...... The band at this rooftop restaurant changed to a different song.
It's "Igotawoman" by Ray Charles.
As soon as he heard this song, Lorraine's eyes suddenly lit up, Ray Charles, one of the singers he loved very much in his previous life and in this life, to be exact, a musician. While Lorraine loved his songs, she also admired his legendary life, a soul singer who went blind at the age of seven, began to perform on stage at the age of fifteen, and performed until he was in his seventies until his death.
Therefore, whenever I hear Ray Charles's songs, Lorraine's heart can't help but sway, in fact, Lorraine is a person who is extremely emotional in his heart, but there are very few people who can touch the strings of his sensibility, but ...... Some works of art can easily open his heart.
Therefore, at this moment, Lorraine actually followed the rhythm of the music, gently raised the fingers on the table, and tapped them rhythmically.
And this scene happened to be seen by Pantene, who was sitting opposite.
The corners of her mouth suddenly raised slightly, and she said the first sentence of the two of them sitting here today, except for ordering.
"Mr. Luo, do you also like to listen to Ray's songs?"
There is nothing about this question mixed with the family's position, so Lorraine doesn't need to care too much, she nodded immediately, and opened her mouth to start a conversation with Pantene: "Yes, I like every one of his songs." ββThere are so many singers in the world today, but how many can really reach the realm of ray? β
Hehe, maybe it's because he can't see it, so the music he creates is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the world he sees is something that many able-bodied people can't see. Decades of darkness, perhaps, he has long found some kind of hidden color, I once went to see one of his concerts when I was in the United States, although he was very old at the time, but ...... The way he played the piano happily and sang happily was forever etched in my mind. β
"Miss Pan was lucky enough to attend Ray's concert? What a envy...... It's a pity that when I started to really like Ray's music, I was helpless to find out that he had passed away......" Lorraine shook her head with some regret, indeed, it is now 2009, and Ray Charles died in 2004, that year, the world lost two artists who regretted Lorraine the most, that is, Leslie Cheung and Ray Charles.
Lorraine is not a star chaser, he just admires some artists or literary people.
What Lorraine didn't expect was that she and Pantene could find a common language on these topics. In fact, it is best for two people to talk about these seemingly unnutritious topics, anyway, they have already met with each other, and if they talk casually, they can be regarded as getting closer, as for what to talk about, it doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt.
"Hehe, I also contacted Ray himself through some channels at that time, and took a photo with him, Mr. Luo, you haven't been in contact with Mr. Charles personally, so you won't know...... What a funny and wise artist he was. Pantene is happy to have found common ground with Lorraine in this regard.
The two of them are obviously not talking nonsense, the two of them have really found a common topic, which is very resonant.
"Miss Pan is trying to make me jealous?" Lorraine sneered, then raised her glass, pursed her lips and said, "Hehe, just remembered that we haven't touched wine yet, well, let's think of an explanation...... Cheers to the godfather of soul music. β
"Hehe, cheers."
