Chapter 187: Something to Talk About

Saturday was the last day of 2011. However, even the last day of the year is just a normal Saturday as usual. No one is sad because of the passage of time, and no one is happy because of the arrival of the New Year.

However, even if it was a normal Saturday, it should be a day off. However, Ling Yu, a busy man, couldn't stop for a moment. On Saturday and Sunday, she had an important interview task for two days in a row. Because Shencheng TV held a welcome party from 2011 to 2012, many big names and stars were invited to perform. And two of them are super heavyweight super names, Ling Yu's task is to follow the interview throughout the whole process, and to send the report back to the agency in real time, so that the newspaper can report it as soon as possible.

Ling Yu and Gong Xiping lingered all night, until more than 1 o'clock in the morning, Ling Yu was really tired, so the two hugged each other and slept directly in her car. However, the GTI was originally a small car, and the space was not large, and Ling Yu and Gongxi were squeezed into the same seat, which was even more crowded. Fortunately, Ling Yu was not heavy, even if he pressed Gong Xiping all night, there was no great discomfort. It's just that Gong Xiping didn't sleep comfortably, and he didn't sleep well all night. Ling Yu slept soundly, and even occasionally let out some low snoring sounds. It may be that she is too tired, or it may be that she is sleeping with Gong Xiping in her arms, in short, Ling Yu sleeps until she wakes up naturally.

When Ling Yu woke up, it was already past 10 o'clock. Because she still has an interview mission, she can't send Gong Xiping back. Gong Xiping didn't mind, and asked Ling Yu to take him to a nearby station and got off the train.

Ling Yu left like a gust of wind, Gong Xiping looked at his watch, it was already 10:23. He made an appointment with Lu Wanying to go to her restaurant at 11 o'clock today, so he didn't take the bus, just stopped a taxi and went straight to Lu Wanying's restaurant.

The taxi stopped in front of the restaurant. Gong Xiping got out of the car, pushed the door and walked into the restaurant, it was exactly 10:59:37, and the time was just right.

Walking into the restaurant, Gong Xiping glanced at it. As usual, the restaurant was still a little deserted. Business here is already light, and today is a rest day, so the flow of customers is even more scarce. Seeing that it was already 11 o'clock, Gong Xiping only saw that there were only 3 guests dining in the huge restaurant.

Seeing Gong Xiping walk into the restaurant, a waiter immediately greeted him and greeted him warmly: "Welcome, please sit inside." ”

Gong Xiping didn't go home yesterday, so he didn't wear his black-framed glasses, and he was wearing the casual suit he changed into yesterday. His outfit makes people feel that he is handsome at first glance, but also looks very mature and charming.

Gong Xiping bowed his head slightly and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not here to dine." Is the hostess there? ”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, glanced at Gong Xiping, and said, "Sir, are you looking for the proprietress ......?"

"Oh, I made an appointment with the proprietress to discuss something here today."

"I see. I don't know your surname, sir? ”

"Don't be expensive, your surname is Gongxi, you told the proprietress that she will know."

The waiter nodded and said, "Okay." Mr. Gongxi, then you can sit down for a while, and I'll go to the office and ask the proprietress to come out. ”

"Thank you."

The waiter turned around and walked towards the back, while Gong Xiping found a seat at random and sat down. Not long after he sat down, another waiter brought a cup of tea, put it in front of him, and said timidly, "Sir, please...... Please drink tea ......"

The waiter's voice was as crisp and pleasant as a silver bell, and his voice was a little immature, not quite like an adult's voice. Gong Xiping couldn't help but glance up, but found that it was not a waiter at all, but an extremely beautiful girl.

This girl is at most 17 years old, with big eyes and long eyelashes. The eyebrows are slender and delicate, and the nose is high and straight. She has long black and beautiful hair, which makes her more and more beautiful and beautiful. It's just that she wears a pink headband with a bow on her head, which reduces her charm a little, but adds a little cuteness. Her figure is slender and well-proportioned, and the graceful temperament that comes out between her eyebrows shows her difference.

Gong Xiping could see at a glance that this beautiful girl was three points similar to Lu Wanying, so he immediately guessed that the cute and extremely delicate beautiful girl in front of him was Tang Wannian's daughter, Tang Yunwen.

Gong Xiping's heart moved, Lu Wanying and Tang Yunwen were the closest people around Tang Wannian, and they didn't know how much they knew about Tang Wannian. Could it be that from them, more or less we can find out some clues about the mysterious organization behind Tang Wannian?

In fact, when Gong Xiping knew that Tang Yunwen was Tang Wannian's daughter, he had such thoughts, but he never had any good opportunities to get close to Tang Yunwen. But now, it is unintentionally planted in the willows, Tang Yunwen is actually the daughter of the proprietress of this restaurant, which is too coincidental.

"Are you Tang Yunwen?" Gong Xiping picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then asked.

Tang Yunwen's pretty face was full of surprise, and she said, "You...... How do you know I'm Tang Yunwen? ”

"Voice. Listen to your voice. Gong Xiping frowned as he spoke, looked at the tea in the teacup, and said, "Why does this tea taste like this?" ”

Tang Yunwen was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with this tea?" ”

Gong Xiping looked at the tea in the teacup again and said, "This tea tastes a little strange, why is it a little salty?" ”

"Salty?" Tang Yunwen took the cup directly from Gong Xiping's hand in confusion, and then took a small sip. Immediately, her face changed slightly, and she immediately spit out all the tea in her mouth on the ground with a "poof", and said with a bitter face, "Oh my God, why is it so salty!" But soon, she remembered. She couldn't help but tap her fingers on her head and muttered, "Oh no, I put salt as sugar again!" ”

Tang Yunwen's self-talk voice was actually not light, so Gong Xiping heard it clearly. And he was a little speechless. Mistaking salt for sugar was something he had only heard of before. But today he has experienced it himself. If you treat salt as sugar, then forget it, but the question is, why put sugar when it's just a very ordinary cup of tea?

"Why do you put sugar in your tea?" Gong Xiping couldn't help but ask.

Tang Yunwen said a little embarrassed: "The tea is a little bitter, I'm afraid you don't like it, so putting some sugar can make it taste better." Moreover, don't the tea drinks sold outside now have sugar in them? ”

Gong Xiping glanced at Tang Yunwen and didn't say anything. However, I already smiled bitterly in my heart. This veritable school flower, which ranks first on the list of school flowers of Shencheng No. 1 Middle School, is actually a confused person...... If this is known to the infatuated boys in the school, it is estimated that the spectacle lenses can be shattered.

However, there is one thing that makes Gong Xiping quite puzzling. This cup of tea should have been brewed by Tang Yunwen himself. He and Tang Yunwen met for the first time today, and they had never met before. Therefore, both people should not know each other, at most they have only heard each other's voices. Then, for Tang Yunwen, Gong Xiping is actually just an ordinary guest. She is not a waitress here, and she is the daughter of the proprietress, so she doesn't need to come to greet guests, let alone make tea herself. But she just did it, why is that?

At this time, Lu Wanying walked out from behind. When she saw Gong Xiping, she immediately quickened her pace and walked over, and said with a smile: "Gong Xiping, you are here." You're here on time. ”

When Gong Xiping saw Lu Wanying coming over, he immediately stood up, nodded politely, and said, "Aunt Lu, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

Lu Wanying waved her hand and said, "Don't bother with it, don't say that." As she spoke, she beckoned to Tang Yunwen and said, "Yunyun, this is what my mother mentioned to you, Gong Xiping." He is also from your school, one year higher than you, a sophomore in high school. ”

Tang Yunwen secretly looked at Gong Xiping, but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Lu Wanying could only smile bitterly and said: "My daughter is good at everything, but she is easy to be shy in front of strangers. ”

Gong Xiping said disapprerovingly: "Aunt Lu, in fact, girls are more shy, this is normal." ”

Lu Wanying said with a smile: "You are still more generous, more free-spirited, and you don't have the timidity and shyness of high school students at all." ”

"Aunt Lu, you've won the prize."

"Alright, then let's stop here, let's go to my office." Lu Wanying said, turned her head to Tang Yunwen and said, "Yunyun, come to the office with your mother." ”

Lu Wanying said, nodded to Gong Xiping, and took the lead in walking towards the back. Gongxiping also followed. Tang Yunwen hesitated, followed and walked behind Gong Xiping.

Ms. Lu's office is a short walk away. Walking into the office, she asked Gong Xiping to sit on the sofa while she sat in the office chair. Tang Yunwen didn't sit, just leaned against Lu Wanying's side.

Before Lu Wanying could speak, Gong Xiping said straight to the point: "Aunt Lu, in fact, I came this time not only to exchange cooking methods and experiences, but also to talk to you about another thing. ”

Lu Wanying was stunned when she heard this, and said, "Okay, you say, what's the matter?" ”

Gong Xiping pondered for a moment and said, "Aunt Lu, please forgive me, in fact, your restaurant is very distinctive, not only has a unique taste, but also has a fair price, a good environment, and a big place. It stands to reason that business in such a restaurant should have been very hot. However, I've been here a few times, and even during peak dining hours, it's still sparsely crowded. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Wanying's expression darkened, and said, "That's right, it's true." Hey, I'll tell you the truth, I don't actually know how to do business at all. Therefore, the restaurant is now operating very poorly, and now it can only barely break even, and even if it is profitable, it is very small. ”

Gong Xiping nodded and said, "Actually, I have also thought about it carefully, and it is not impossible for this restaurant to do business if it wants to do business." I have two sets of plans here, I don't know if Aunt Lu is interested in listening to them. ”

When Lu Wanying heard this, she was a little excited at first, but as soon as her eyes touched Gong Xiping's slightly immature face, she couldn't get excited. A high school student, what advice can he give with a real surname? Still, she said, "Why don't you tell me about it?" ”

Gongxi said loudly: "First, you give me the restaurant plate, and then I will hire you to be my manager and run it according to my method." Second, I invest in shares, and we each have a 50% share, and we still operate according to my method. Aunt Lu, what do you think? ”
