Chapter 6: Chance Encounters
The two got together and chatted for a long time before checking out and leaving. Out of the hotel, Guo Tao rode his broken 28 and left first, Zhou Liwen wanted to call a taxi home directly, but he stood on the side of the road and waited for a while The taxi did not come, but a bus came first.
Anyway, it's all cars, and there are not many people who take the bus at night, and the car happened to be near his house, so Zhou Liwen got on without saying a word, found a seat and took a nap comfortably.
Maybe he drank a little too much beer, and Zhou Liwen fell asleep in a daze in the swaying bus, I don't know how long it took, until he was woken up by the electronic sound of the station, looked up at the window, and Zhou Liwen realized that he had actually sat at the station.
Got off the train in front of the driver's door, and Zhou Liwen, who was standing on the platform, was much more awakened by the cool breeze of the summer night. Fortunately, he woke up in time and missed a stop, anyway, the road was not far, and he was too lazy to wait for the bus on the opposite street, so Zhou Liwen simply walked home slowly along the road.
From here, you have to pass through Pétain Road, which is close to the consulate district and is a famous bar street in Shanghai, and the bars of all sizes are lit up in the evening. Because of the proximity to his residence, Zhou Liwen has been here a few times before, of course, it is basically a party with colleagues or classmates, and it is the first time that he has walked alone in this bar street like this. But then again, it's a different kind of fun to enjoy the handsome men and women coming and going, as well as the bars with their own exotic scenery.
Most of the people who come here are young people, and there are many foreigners, and the roadside of the bar is full of taxis waiting for customers. Along the way, from time to time, there will be girls in bar uniforms giving coupons to passers-by or something, but Zhou Liwen just smiled and refused for this.
The bar street on Pétain Road is not too long, about a kilometre before and after. After this street, go two more blocks ahead and you will be home. Zhou Liwen was not in a hurry anyway, and walked around unhurriedly.
When Zhou Liwen was about to walk to the end of the bar street, a girl who was standing on the side of the road and was delivering coupons saw Zhou Liwen coming and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Sir, this is a coupon for our store, and you can drink a bottle of Corona ...... for free with a certain amount of money."
"It's Corona's ...... again." Zhou Liwen was a little speechless, he had heard such words no less than ten times along the way, and each time he waved his hand and refused because he was not interested. This time, he is no exception, there are too many sales methods like this kind of bar to attract customers.
"I'm sorry, I ......." Zhou Liwen habitually waved his hand, and just as he was about to decline such a sale, he suddenly saw the girl's face clearly in the dim light.
Zhou Liwen was slightly stunned, the reason why he was stunned was very simple, because he knew this girl, of course, not now, but it should have been two years later. In his memory, this girl made a deep impression on him, if you want to ask why, because Zhou Liwen once liked this girl.
Lin Yaxuan is the girl's name. If nothing had changed, this beautiful girl would have come to Zhou Liwen's unit two years later and joined the group's foreign trade department. Zhou Liwen was still in the asset management department at that time, and he had work contacts with the group's foreign trade department. Zhou Liwen clearly remembered that on the day of Lin Yaxuan's first day of reporting, this fluttering, smiling girl was just the first time, Zhou Liwen was deeply attracted and couldn't help but like her.
But this is a very short period, and it is also a secret love that Zhou Liwen will never forget. At the beginning, Zhou Liwen was a little introverted, and he had no experience in love, although he liked Lin Yaxuan in his heart, but he never dared to speak, but every time he went back to the Ministry of Foreign Trade, \u4e8

B always talks to Lin Yaxuan intentionally or unintentionally for a few words or something.
After about half a year of contact, Zhou Liwen finally mustered up the courage to make a formal confession to the girl, but who would have thought that Lin Yaxuan would suddenly resign without warning, and it is said that she went abroad not long after. In the following years, Zhou Liwen never met her again, and there was no news in the vast sea of people, and this unstarted relationship ended without a problem, which became an eternal regret in Zhou Liwen's heart.
Unexpectedly, he would reunite with Lin Yaxuan under such a circumstances, and it was two years ago when they should have known each other. After all, Lin Yaxuan should be in college now, why did she come to Bar Street to do this job? Zhou Liwen was stunned for a while, and the words that he had long been about to refuse could no longer be said when they came to his mouth.
Subconsciously took the coupon, and Zhou Liwen came back to his senses after hearing Lin Yaxuan say thank you. At this time, Lin Yaxuan had already turned around and was looking for the next customer target.
Zhou Liwen wanted to stop her, but Lin Yaxuan's name came to his mouth and swallowed it back, because for Lin Yaxuan, Zhou Liwen was just a stranger, but at this time, Zhou Liwen felt that meeting Lin Yaxuan on this coincidence was a rare opportunity given to him by God, and he didn't want to give up this opportunity again.
Looking down at the coupon in his hand, Zhou Liwen had an idea in a blink of an eye, and walked towards Lin Yaxuan in a few steps.
"This young lady ......."
"Hello!"
Lin Yaxuan, who turned around, saw Zhou Liwen holding the coupon she had just given him in her hand, and showed a professional smile.
Zhou Liwen raised his hand and waved the coupon and pretended to talk easily: "This is the coupon you just gave me, I want to ask how to use this coupon?" ”
"Oh, the way to use this coupon is very simple, yes is this, sir, you know that if you spend in our bar, you can get a bottle of Corona ...... for free with the coupon if the consumption amount reaches 1oo yuan." Lin Yaxuan smiled and explained the purpose of this coupon to Zhou Liwen, and enthusiastically told him that the use method was printed on the back of the coupon.
"How long is this coupon valid for? I'm usually quite busy at work\u

FFOC goes to the bar at irregular times, but sometimes he and his friends come over for a party or something. What if the expiration date has expired after a long period of time? Also, can this coupon be used cumulatively? For example, if we come over with ten people and spend a total of 5oo yuan, if we take five coupons, can we exchange them for five bottles of Corona? Or is it limited to a single consumption? It seems that you didn't even print it clearly on the back of the coupon...... ”
Zhou Liwen pretended to look at the use of the coupon behind it, and deliberately looked for something to talk to Lin Yaxuan.
Maybe it was Zhou Liwen who asked these questions that Lin Yaxuan had never encountered, and Lin Yaxuan didn't know how to answer for a while, she thought for a while and said: "This gentleman, I haven't been working here for a long time, I have to confirm with our manager what you asked, can you wait a while?" ”
“ok! No problem! Zhou Liwen nodded very generously, took out a cigarette from his pocket and smiled: "Then please help me confirm, I'll be waiting for you here to smoke a cigarette." ”
"Okay, wait a minute." Lin Yaxuan nodded hurriedly, trotted all the way into the bar, and Zhou Liwen, who was leaning on the street tree, looked at her distant back and took a deep puff of cigarette, smiling slightly at the corner of his mouth.
About a few minutes later, just when Zhou Liwen was about to finish a cigarette, Lin Yaxuan finally came back.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, I just confirmed with our manager that it's like ......this." Lin Yaxuan has a good memory, and repeated the answers of their manager to her one by one, Zhou Liwen pretended to listen carefully and nodded while listening, looking very satisfied.
"By the way, our manager also said that guests like you don't need to be troubled by coupons, they can get a VIP card in our bar, as long as they show the card every time they come, they can get this kind of discount."
"Apply for a card, forget it, I don't know when I will come over next time. In this case, just give me a few more coupons, and ask them if they are interested in getting a card next time I bring my friends over. ”
"This is no problem, I'll give you 2o first, is 2o enough?"
"Enough is enough, 2o is enough ......." Zhou Liwen smiled and nodded, Lin Yaxuan counted the coupons in her hand and quickly counted 2o.
"Miss, what's your last name? The next time a friend comes over and wants to apply for a card, I'll ask them to come to you directly. Taking the coupon, Zhou Liwen said casually.
"Thank you, sir, my surname is Lin, just call me Xiaolin, I will always work here for the next few days, but it won't be long, if I'm not there, I'll go directly to our Manager Wang."
"Oh, Miss Lin, are you ready to change jobs? Is the treatment in the store bad? Or did you find a better job? I think you are very kind, serious and responsible, if I were the boss, I would definitely not let you go, even if you want to increase your salary, you have to keep an excellent employee like you. Zhou Liwen deliberately pretended to be very strange.
Lin Yaxuan smiled happily after hearing this: "How come, I'm still in college, and now I'm using my vacation time to work and study, on the one hand, I can get in touch with the social experience, and earn some pocket money or something." ”
"You've been doing it for a long time, you're a college student!" Zhou Liwen looked very surprised, and when he saw Lin Yaxuan nodded, he asked curiously, "I'm sorry, can I ask Miss Lin which university she is?" It's only been a few years since I graduated from college, so maybe we're still alumni. ”
