Chapter 48: The Cafe
At around 1 p.m., Xiaolong came out of a Kende chicken wing shop with a glass of cold Coke in his hand, and was drinking without a sip. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After coming out of the real estate company, it was impossible to go home for dinner, and he didn't want to go to the restaurant to eat alone, so Xiaolong asked for a hamburger at the chicken wing restaurant to deal with the afternoon meal.
Now he is standing on the side of the road waiting for a taxi, but the rental car drivers in Weng City seem to have gone to lunch, and after waiting for almost ten minutes, he didn't see a taxi coming.
At this time, the latest Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of him, the window of the cab was slowly lowered, and a thirty-year-old uncle shouted to Xiaolong inside:
"Young man, in the car? Whatever you're going to do in the city, there's no place I don't know. ”
The driver said Weng Shi's original words, and his car was also a million-dollar car, Xiaolong looked at the road on the left and right, and there were no other cars, so he got into this black car.
got into the car, Xiaolong told the driver that he was going to the Starbus coffee shop, and he didn't talk anymore, but the driver was there talking to Xiaolong non-stop;
"Little brother, is this going to see a girlfriend?"
Dressed like Xiaolong, but going to a high-end café, the driver made up Xiaolong to meet his girlfriend.
A young man like Xiaolong, who sees a lot of drivers, doesn't make much money every month, and goes on a date with his girlfriend every month in a variety of high-end restaurants and bars, chic at the beginning of the month, and eats dirt at the end of the month.
The truth is not as the driver thought, Xiaolong shook his head and said:
"There are other things."
The driver was even more gossipy than Xiaolong thought, and continued to ask:
"Are you going to work?"
It's not going on a date with your girlfriend, but going to a Starbus café under the sun on this hot day, and there is only one possibility in the driver's impression.
Going to work at Starbus? Xiaolong smiled, if he didn't have money, maybe he would really do this, but now Xiaolong at least didn't lack this little money.
In order not to let the driver continue to chatter, Xiaolong nodded and acquiesced, and his eyes paid attention to the scenery outside the window from time to time.
In principle, Xiaolong will never take a black car, mainly because it is unsafe, and there are many news on the news that black car drivers will take people to deserted places to rob money, meet beautiful women, and rob sex or even murder.
However, seeing that the driver is driving a car of 2 million, he should not be greedy for himself to wear stalls, and the driver is a local, Xiaolong only makes his car, but he can't be too careless, and it is still necessary to see if he is still in the city from time to time.
When he arrived at the Starbus café, Xiaolong got out of the car and asked the driver how much it cost.
The driver said, "Look at your hard work, 50 yuan." ”
It's a little more than a taxi, which is exactly what the black car industry is all about.
The wallet was full of a hundred dollars that had just been taken out, and the change had just run out at the Kender chicken wing shop.
Xiaolong directly handed a hundred yuan to the driver.
The driver searched in the lattice in front of the car and found only three pieces of 20 yuan, and there was no change.
This is embarrassing, either the driver suffers a loss and gives Xiaolong ten yuan more, or Xiaolong suffers a loss and asks for ten yuan less.
Xiaolong glanced at the driver's car under the glass under some steel jumps and said:
"Just give me two twenty and give me those coins."
Although these coins are less than ten dollars, they are enough to make a subway or bus.
――
In the past few days, Xixia feels that he is so miserable, although he is envied by many colleagues, he can travel at public expense, and he can travel all over the two provinces.
But Xixia just wanted to say to the herd, you also have to see what the weather and time it is.
It's the end of August, the hottest time of the year, and I have to get up at 7 o'clock in the morning to make a plane to Hanwu to connect with the people of Canglang Film and Television Company, and then take a plane to Weng City, and fly back that night.
Now Xixia is sitting in the Starbus, and there is a strong sense of unreality, he has been flying for a day. I feel like I've been on the plane for a lifetime for a lifetime.
No wonder, yesterday the team leader asked to go by himself, but it turned out that no one wanted to go.
"West reception, what Ning Caichen is, when will it arrive."
Canglang Film and Television Company has dozens of movie theaters in Hanwu, which can only be regarded as a local snake in this industry, not a hegemon of one party, and not as good as some well-known film and television companies in the country, but at the beginning of their business, they established a good purpose and treated people sincerely.
They were optimistic about A Chinese Ghost Story, and sent an email to Xiaolong through Yingku, although it took nearly three weeks for Xiaolong to reply to them, but they were still full of sincerity, and agreed to Xiaolong's seemingly unreasonable request, and rushed from Hanwu to Weng City to talk about cooperation with Xiaolong as soon as possible.
But no matter how good a person is, he also has a temper, and now it's almost time to make an appointment, and Xiaolong hasn't shown up yet. Xu Dongping, the representative of this Canglang, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart.
In response to Xu Dongping's inquiry, Xixia said embarrassedly: "Hehe, you wait a little longer, it should be there soon, I'll help you urge." ”
Xixia dialed Xiaolong's mobile phone number again.

Not long after Xixia dialed Xiaolong's mobile phone number, a mobile phone rang at the door of Xingba.
Xu Dongping and Xixia turned their heads at the same time, and at a glance they saw Xiaolong walking in.
As people in the film industry, they recognized Xiaolong at a glance without costumes.
"This!" Xixia shook his hand and told Xiaolong where they were.
At the door, Xiaolong received another call from the editor of Yingku, looked inside for a week, and found that someone was greeting him.
That person should be the editor of Yingku, and the person next to him is the agent of the film and television company that asked for his own film this time.
"It's an honor to meet you, it's not too early, let's start talking now."
It was exactly 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the time was very tight, and after Xiaolong sat down and said politely, he went straight to the point.
Xu Dongping likes Xiaolong's character very much, if he comes to a person who loves to talk about it, he doesn't know when this meeting will last.
Xixia asked a little hesitantly: "Just like this?" ”
Xu Dongping nodded, took out two contracts from his briefcase, and put them on the table.
Then he said, "Then you can look at the contract first." ”
