Chapter 1 Unexpected Encounters
The midsummer in Beijing in June 2015 was fiercer and more fierce than any previous year, and the wind blowing in the air was like the princess of the iron fan elegantly holding the banana fan to blow towards the flaming mountain that can extinguish all life into ashes.
The temperature is constantly rising in the gentle surging air, fueled by some kind of force, and the whole of Beijing has become a veritable Sahara without desert.
Living in this hot and dry city, the kind people endure the side effects of the temperature on the hormonal surge, and the only thing they can think of is that God must not be able to stand the suffocating haze of the world.
Looking at the colorful world from his drunken paradise is like seeing the ruins that have been brutally demolished countless times, and his eyes are full of gray smoke that obscures the sky.
He seemed to feel that the breath exhaled from his mouth was a little dirty and permeating the world, so he bravely ate the world's Xuanmai chewing gum, but he forgot that he had been pressing the thermostat in his hand, and the whole Beijing was honored to experience what is called the uncontrollable feeling of being unstoppable.
In the heat of the furnace, the subway station has become a cool summer resort where people can find a cool escape, and the smell of the wind running around them can no longer be felt except for the smell of heat.
The scorching heat has also slowed down this crazy high-speed city. Melt all the sturdy souls into a scorching comfort with the heat of purgatory.
A cloudy rainstorm becomes a noble luxury in the city, where more people pray to see the sea in the city than to be sunburned into tempting chocolates or even chocolate sauce.
People silently looked up at the sky in a good mood in their hearts, hoping that Xiao Jingteng could hold a concert in this city and change people's habits like bats.
On Thursday evening, the belated rainstorm finally came out of the sky to start her performance, the dark clouds were like a black cover covering the sky of Beijing, and the lightning and thunder followed by a downpour of rain mixed with angry roars from above poured down, and the instant refreshment swept the entire Beijing urban area.
The people who had taken refuge under the eaves of the roof rushed out from under the eaves of refuge after seeing that the ultraviolet rays could no longer be rampant in the rolling and roaring sky.
"Reliable! InkWeather's software is reliable! Said that it rained today and it really came down, cool! ”
The people cheered excitedly, and regained the long-lost petty bourgeois happiness, and everyone's faces bloomed with the ecstasy of this long-term drought.
These people who have reunited with Cool and Cool for a long time have no time to care about the long breasts and thighs of the Internet celebrity tender model or the Iron Man who saves mankind, and they all tacitly call for the same superhero in their hearts - Monkey King, all people will think of Journey to the West, and Fengxian County ushered in an exciting thunder and lightning with his help.
The people bathed in the rain were thinking that Wukong must have learned English well, otherwise how could God throw a timely rain Song Jiang from the sky when people were desperately hot.
In the Xingyuxin Flower Shop located in the Fifth Ring Road, Yuxin and Mai Xiqian are busy preparing for the closure of the store
"Oh my God! I still want to go to Xidan tonight, it's raining so hard, it looks like I'm going to feed mosquitoes in this store again tonight."
As if she had been hit hard, Maisie stared at the glass window of the flower shop with her face pressed against the glass window of the flower shop and looked out in despair
"Alright, stop complaining! Isn't it just one night, a little mosquito coil will pass, you take the umbrella out to buy some food and come back, I won't go back tonight"
"Ahh Can you wait? With such heavy rain, if you go out, you don't have to wash when you come back."
Yuxin saw that Mai Qian was docked in front of the glass window with a weak look, and knew that she couldn't count on anything.
Without waiting for Maisie to say anything, she picked up her umbrella and pushed the door out.
After more than half an hour, the rain gradually slowed down, and it continued to fall, and Yuxin came back with a large bag of food, and the two of them had dinner in this way
"Or you are good to me, knowing that I like to eat bread from the original wheat hills, and specially bought it for me"
Mai Xiqian deliberately sat next to Yuxin and muttered, smirking at Yuxin, who didn't pay attention to continuing to be busy with the unfinished work at hand.
There's nothing more pleasant about this cool weather than falling asleep in bed with your head covered.
The two closed the door of the store and went to bed in the back room before 8 o'clock, and the time passed in this way.
Perhaps because of the restful sleep last night, Yuxin, who was still immersed in the dream, did not realize that it was the early morning of Friday, and the dawn sun poured into the flower shop through the glass windows, shining on the colorful flowers.
"Dangdang, is anyone there?"
Yuxin was woken up by the sound of a rapid knock on the glass, and before he had time to put on his makeup, he put on a pair of denim shorts and walked out of the back room.
"Who? It's so refreshing to come so early! ”
Yuxin muttered as she walked towards the door, although her fluffy hair looked a little out of shape, it still couldn't hide her no-makeup beauty, and it didn't need any chalk to make other girls jealous and crazy
Yuxin walked to the door, opened the lock, and a tall woman in professional clothes stood at the door, smiling slightly apologetically at Yuxin
"I'm sorry, I came a little early, so I disturbed your rest"
"Oh. It's okay, it's up anyway, you can come in and have a look."
The slight resentment in Yuxin's heart was dissipated by the lukewarm smile of the woman in front of him
"Hello, I was introduced by a friend, saying that you are a famous florist in Beijing, I don't know if you remember, she was the one who made the wedding flower arrangement before"
It was the first time that Yuxin had heard that someone valued him so much, and suddenly clouds floated in his heart, and he nodded with a sense of accomplishment.
"This is my business card, our company is going to have a dance party on Sunday night, and it needs a very grand floral arrangement, and there is no fake flower in the room, and I hope you can take the job"
Yuxin took the business card handed to him by the woman, and took a closer look: Liu Zihe, assistant to the president of Beijing Media Company, beckoned her to sit down first, and walked around to the back room by herself
"Sissi, don't sleep, hurry up, go make a cup of freshly ground latte and sweeten it for the guests, go quickly"
Yuxin dragged Mai Qianqian, a lazy cat, up from the bed, and hurriedly walked to the front to greet Liu Zihe, she had also done a dance scene before, and she was also familiar with such a live flower arrangement.
"Can you tell me where the company ball is held?"
"The Ritz-Carlton, you're supposed to have done long-distance running, right?"
"Uh-oh, yes, I've been to someone's wedding scene before"
"That's good, the president of our company attaches great importance to this ball, so money is not a problem, the most important thing is that the effect must be good, and it is best to be able to surprise the four"
"Your coffee, please use it slowly" Without waiting for the next sentence to be spoken, Mai Qian brought the freshly ground latte to Liu Zihe.
She took her coffee and quickly got up to thank Maisie
"I'm very short of time, and the company has a lot of things waiting for me to deal with, so let's do it, I have a check for one million here, stay here first, the company approves the cost of dressing up the scene of this prom, you give me an invoice, and I can explain it when I go back."
Liu Zihe stuffed the one million check from the bag into Yu Xin's hand while talking, Yu Xin held the check and was stunned for a long time without reacting, standing stupidly in place
"What's the difficulty? Isn't it inconvenient or am I asking too much? If it doesn't work, I'll go to another house and have a look."
Saying that, Liu Zihe stretched out his hand to take back the check and turned to leave, but Yuxin hurriedly appeased Liu Zihe's feelings
"Don't, don't...... There's nothing that can't be done, so don't worry! With my credibility in the industry, I will definitely let you see a different gorgeous ball, please believe me"
Liu Zihe saw that the girl in her early 20s in front of her was so sincere, and she had no reason not to believe it.
It is said that the mouth is a tool that can talk nonsense, but the eyes and the heart can't be faked.
The most important thing is that Liu Zihe saw a clear trust in her watery eyes.
After Liu Zihe finished speaking, he stepped on high heels and walked out of the door of the flower shop, walked to the blackened Audi A8L at the door, opened the door and went in, started the car and left.
Turning back to the flower shop, Yu Xin took out the picture of the silver palace ball scene on the top cabinet.
I can clearly recall that this design drawing was made last year for a wine tasting ball designed by her for a well-known red wine company in Beijing.
"Congratulations, I can pick up pies in such good weather, why don't I have such good luck?"
Maisie was a little jealous and leaned over to Yuxin's side, and also looked at the unfolded rendering
"Say what? I haven't been on the right track all day, please when can you be reliable"
"Hey, you shouldn't be able to do such a big project just for you and me, right?"
Yuxin ignored Maisie, but dialed the phone number of the flower wholesaler in Guangzhou, and ordered 8,000 bouquets of lilies, 6,000 bouquets of champagne roses, 10,000 bouquets of rainbow roses, and 2,000 bouquets of blue enchantresses from the flower seller.
Yuxin, who hung up the phone, directly dialed his friend Mo Qi in the floral industry, and asked Mo Qi to gather the guys who had worked together last time, and agreed to meet directly at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Sunday morning, and send the drawing and the general situation to Mo Qi on WeChat.
"What then? Sissi, I'm going to the airport tomorrow to pick up this batch of flowers in person, and you can take care of the business in the store."
"Flowers are not all sent directly by logistics, are you excited to faint, which door to pick up flowers at the airport?"
"Then you don't have to worry about it, anyway, I'll go straight to the airport tomorrow morning, and I won't come to the flower shop"
Mai Qian saw that Yuxin was very determined to do this, but she had no choice but to compromise, and she didn't know what Yuxin was going to do.
Mai Xiqian didn't say anything more to Yuxin, but she hid aside and continued to make the unfinished bouquet of roses, and peeked at Yuxin from time to time.
The two of them were busy with their own work, and when the flower shop was about to close in the evening, Mai Qianqian deliberately slowed down and cleaned up the flower shop
"If you can't do it, you can go back first, I have some personal matters at night and need to go back later, if it's too late, I'll go back to the flower shop to sleep, don't wait for me"
Yuxin was still waiting for Mai Qian to do her hair together, but Qian Qian suddenly came up with such a sentence. The heart was strange and embarrassed, so he didn't say anything and turned around and went out.
"When you leave, remember to lock the door and see if the flowers are short of water, remember to water them."
On Saturday morning, Yuxin got up early in the morning, pushed open the bedroom door and came out to find Maisie lying on all fours on the sofa in the living room without even taking off her clothes, falling asleep, in a state of fainting.
Yuxin washed up and tidied up his makeup and went out, went downstairs to take a taxi and went straight to the Capital International Airport, along the way the introverted Yuxin seemed to have changed a person, sitting in the passenger seat and talking and laughing with the taxi driver
Half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the Capital International Airport, Yuxin took out a red 100-yuan bill and stuffed it into the driver's hand, "The master doesn't need to look for it" and turned around and ran away.
Yuxin walked all the way to the waiting hall, perhaps because he came early, there have always been a few people in the airport terminal, which has always been more popular, and he can count the number of people with his fingers.
Yuxin sat down in a nearby seat, trying to see through the large glass window of the airport what the flight with those flowers would look like when it landed safely.
She looked around and felt a little bored, and she didn't bring an i-pad when she went out, so she took out her mobile phone and kept scrolling down on Weibo and Moments.
"Yuxin, why are you here?"
A very familiar voice came from behind him, and Yuxin turned his head to see that it was Min Hao, who still did not change his British demeanor that he loved to obsession, and the goatee on his chin that had not been removed for many years was called vicissitudes of maturity in his words.
