Chapter 167: A Coincidental Encounter with Wen Minrui
The small window shades green in summer without heat, and the incense lingers all day long. The breeze is high, and the doors are closed. H City is such a poetic city, showing the exquisite elegance of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River everywhere. The relaxed and relaxed pace of life is a bit out of place with a thriving city with millions of people, but it's a real experience for tourists.
The food is beautiful and picturesque. The "Green Field" restaurant is strategically located in a private garden on the top of the hill in the scenic area, and if it is not for the introduction of acquaintances, the general people do not know that there is such a high-level consumption place in this city. The whole hotel is the feeling of a landscape garden, and all the rooms in the restaurant are private rooms, which must be booked in advance, and each table has at least one dedicated waiter. Of course, this beautiful place is also specially designed to be used to dine al fresco and enjoy the beautiful view of the surrounding tea plantations.
Antique wooden furniture, antique and elegant, the dishes are exquisitely presented, and of course, the amount of dishes is as small as high-end Western food, which is simple but does not lose its connotation. The environment is quiet, and it will not be disturbed at all, and it really feels like a paradise in the deep forest.
Zhuo Tingting drank tea, even in such a beautiful scenery, it couldn't make her happy.
Wen Minrui added chopsticks and vegetables to her and said: "Since you come out to play, then be happy, don't think about those troubles, if you just change the space and continue to be silent, then it is better to stay in City B." ”
Zhuo Tingting has aged a lot in recent years, due to the deterioration of breast cancer a year ago, she had to be removed**, and now she looks very thin, coupled with Li Zhuoxin's stay, she has been very worried, which makes her very depressed. So Wen Minrui, who couldn't stand it, put aside a qiqi and took her here to take a walk to relax, listen to Zen scriptures for a few days by the way, and let go of her sorrows.
"Many people envy our family background and work life, in fact, I am more eager for the family happiness in ordinary people's homes, plain and warm, without so much compulsion and calculation. Hey, it's just a luxury. Zhuo Tingting looked at the lake and mountains outside the window, and said with emotion, with infinite longing in his tone.
"Who says it's not, how can that kid in my family force not to get married, I don't expect the next generation, as long as I can get married before I close my eyes." Wen Minrui shook her hand and comforted silently, she knew that her friend had endured a lot in the past few years. "By the way, I heard Ma Kai say that Zhuo Xin was emphasized by your old man at the end of the year, is it true?"
"Well, in the past two months, Uncle Li's health has become worse and worse. What can he do when he comes back, making such a fuss, I would rather he stay away from this place of right and wrong. I regret why I persuaded Xiaoxin to accept it at that time, and even forced it. My own marriage is not going well, and he is like this, no one thought of it. Zhuo Tingting remembered Ye Lin's unscrupulousness, there were always countless gossips at every party, even if he was careful to avoid it, he would always hear one or two.
Although it is a bit rude to ask such a question, is Zhuo Xin's illness really as strict as the outside world rumores? If you really can't do it, don't drag it, go to the urology department of the hospital to see, what is the value of face? Let the sister-in-law of the Li family arrange it. ”
Zhuo Tingting shook his head, gritted his teeth and said indignantly: "In the second year of marriage, the Chen family forced Zhuo Xin to go, and they didn't save him any face at all. Sexual dysfunction illuminated by mental and psychological factors, you say how much he hates this woman, so that if he doesn't want to, no one can force him. ”
"That can't let her ruin the reputation of the Li family, the things she did were against the identity of the young lady of the Li family. You don't even know how bad it is out there. Wen Minrui slapped the table angrily: "I really don't know what these old men are fanatical about, are those national interests really important enough to sacrifice the happiness of the juniors?" ”
It doesn't take anyone to answer, the answer is so obvious. Because the people of that generation are really so persistent, even life can be parted with, let alone a feeling of happiness in nothingness. Neither of them continued to speak, drinking tea cup by cup, as for the delicate dishes, they had already ignored the two of them.
In another box, Late Summer was waiting for Luna to eat, carefully picking out the fish bones and placing them on her plate, while helplessly listening to the boastful talk of a fat-headed, big-eared boss.
"MISS MOMO, I SINCERELY INVITE YOU TO ENDORSE OUR COONIC BRAND CLOTHING, AND THE PRICE IS NEGOTIABLE. We gave 1 million to the last spokesperson, and if it were you, I would give you five times more. Hahaha, you shouldn't have taken the endorsement of such a price. WHAT DOES MS. MOMO THINK? He kept looking at the end of the summer, in fact, she didn't know who this MOMO-XIA was, but she just heard his secretary say that she was a French, internationally renowned supermodel. In his opinion, international fame is just like that, it's just a matter of money.
Late Summer replied nonchalantly, "What, oh, that's it." Then he continued to serve Luna: "This is your favorite osmanthus cake, see if it tastes better than what you eat in New York's Chinatown." "Just ignore this uninvited person who turned this private party into his home turf.
Mr. Zuo put down the wine glass with a bang: "Qiaoqiao, this Aishang's model is getting bigger and bigger, is this how he treats customers?" ”
Qiao Qiao was also a little annoyed, why was he entangled by this second goods. This manufacturer is an old customer of Aishang, although it cannot be compared with international brands, but the development is not bad. In recent years, the cooperation has been more frequent, so it is more familiar. If there is anything bad about COONIC, the left is very familiar, boastful and can't look at other people's eyes, it should be said that he understands and pretends not to understand.
She shouldn't have called the restaurant last night, she would rather just find a place to eat. No one expected him to appear in the box so suddenly, and very unceremoniously ordered a large table of dishes. Normally, she might have patiently spoken to him, but this time the situation was different. She looked at the end of the summer, and her smile hadn't changed since this Boss Zuo came in. Even Luna frowned, quietly eating the food that Late Summer had given her.
Qiao Qiao restrained his smile and said: "Mr. Zuo, I'm really sorry, MOMO is not a model of our company, and it has been developing abroad, and it is all the shows of the four major fashion weeks; And the cooperation is also a first-line big brand, so far only received SUMMER's advertising shooting, next week will be broadcast on major TV stations. If you really want to ask MOMO to endorse you, then you should need to talk to the French economic company. She came back this time to attend a wedding, and by the way, she was a guest on the TV show of her good friend Yang Yang, the famous host. ”
Mr. Zuo looked at the end of the summer who still didn't speak, and said angrily: "So that's the case, it's a pity, no one wants to make money." It seems that the moon is round abroad, and people are the most taboo to forget their roots. IS THIS MISS MOMO'S DAUGHTER? Can a foreign model be so old? It seems that international models are not so professional. ”
At the end of the summer, she put down her chopsticks and said in English, "Luna used to ask her mother what she was about being noisy and self-righteous, and this uncle can interpret it perfectly." Remember, you have to go far when you meet such a person. ”
Luna wiped the corners of her mouth, looked at Mr. Zuo with big eyes, and nodded solemnly: "I see." People who don't give others a chance to speak look like this? ”
Xia Mo touched her head with a smile: "It can be said that because these people keep talking to themselves, others have no chance to speak." But it doesn't necessarily look like this, it's just that the personal question has nothing to do with looks. ”
A few people around who understood the conversation between the two mothers and daughters snickered, in fact, they had endured it for a long time. It was supposed to be a good late summer dinner in such a high-end restaurant, which made everyone very excited, and specially prepared the best clothes to prepare the feeling of being rich, but they didn't expect it to be destroyed. Mr. Zuo's secretary graduated from a business college, and he understood the sarcasm at the end of summer, and lowered his head a little embarrassed, he really didn't know how to deal with it, or pretended not to understand.
"Have you eaten enough? The noise decibels here are too high and not good for your eardrums. Grab your camera and let's go for a walk. "This camera was specially made by DK, it is light and cute, and it is very suitable for Luna.
She got up and said to Qiaoqiao, "This meal was supposed to thank you for taking care of me in the past two days, but it's a pity. If you have the opportunity to go abroad, then contact me and arrange to treat you well when the time comes. ”
The so-called pity at the end of summer everyone understands what it means, and they don't care. At the end of the summer, he waved at Xiaoxue, whispered a few words in her ear, and left the box in a dashing manner, as if the left always did not have zài.
After leaving the box at the end of summer, there was silence for a while, and then everyone chatted about their professional things or gossip in the circle, completely ignoring the so-called Zuo Zong.
Mr. Zuo was completely ignored tonight, and after eating most of the good goods on the table, he angrily put down the cruel words: "In the future, as long as it is our company's show, don't love Shang's models." ”
Qiao Qiao smiled and said, "Mr. Zuo walks slowly, we won't send it." ”
Mr. Zuo and the two were stopped by the staff before they walked out of the restaurant because he did not pay the bill. "Are you kidding? Didn't the woman who left first pay for it? Don't believe it, ask the waiter in the box. ”
The little girl looked at Mr. Zuo and said with a smile: "Ms. Xia only bought the order you ordered before you came, and you need to pay for the second supplement." The AA system is very popular abroad, so you don't actually buy your order. ”
Mr. Zuo has a dish, because he didn't think about paying for it himself, and said in an unkind tone: "If you pay, you will pay, isn't it just the price of a meal?" How much? ”
The cashier typed out the detailed list: "You ordered a total of twelve dishes, a total of eight thousand nine hundred and eight, and the service fee is not separately calculated, because Ms. Xia has already helped you pay in advance." Credit card or cash. ”
"What, it's so expensive, are you robbing money?" In the end, he paid the money and lost face, and he was also listed as not accepting guests by Green Field.
At this time, Xue'er broadcast this situation in the box in real time, and it doesn't matter whether this customer will cooperate in the future. How far can a brand go with a boss without style?
At the end of summer, she wanders around with Luna, enjoying the crisp air and beautiful scenery of autumn. Luna ran around like crazy, holding a tiny camera to record everything she saw. And the end of summer followed her quietly, watching her run all the way.
From time to time, he reminded: "Luna, watch your step, don't get too close to the lake." Luna waved her hand to show that she understood, and continued her expedition.
"Late summer, is that you?" Wen Minrui looked at the woman not far away in front of her and said uncertainly.
At the end of summer, she was happy to see Wen Minrui, but she was a little concerned about the lady next to her, not to mention that Luna was not far away. Her mind raced to whether she wanted to pretend to be her twin sister, after all, she was also in this city.
But both height and temperament are much worse, so he nodded at the two with a smile and said hello: "Hello Professor Wen, long time no see." Coincidentally, are you here for a tour? ”
Wen Minmin stepped forward quickly, took her hand and kept patting: "I look like it from afar, but it's just taller." I don't seem to have seen any of your works in the past few years, so why don't you continue to write books? I heard Zhang Aiping say that you went abroad, did you continue your studies? ”
"Yes, I have been abroad for the past few years, and I have attended classes in several schools. It just so happened that my sister got married a few days ago and came back, and tomorrow's plane will leave. ”
"Well, that's not a hurry, why don't you stay a few more days? Take a walk around City B, the school and the city have changed a lot in recent years. Wen Minrui said with a smile.
At the end of summer, he lied: "There is still an advertisement in the negotiation, it is not good to delay it for too long." She noticed that Zhuo Tingting's gaze shifted to Luna's direction, and she was a little worried. Then I felt that I was thinking too much, after all, Luna didn't look much like Li Zhuoxin.
Zhuo Tingting felt that the end of summer was very familiar, and said with a smile: "Don't you introduce it to me?" ”
"Look at my memory, before the end of the summer, the students of B University were very talented, but unfortunately dropped out halfway." She still said regretfully.
"Oh, she's the student you've been talking about for a few years, I've read her books, her style is very unique, and her language is very sharp." Zhuo Tingting evaluated objectively, and always felt as if he had seen it somewhere, so he asked, "Have we seen it before?" I think you look familiar. When people are old, their memory is poor, so don't care. ”
At the end of the summer, I was drumming in my heart, I didn't know what she had seen, and said with a smile: "Actually, we have met before, the first time was at the anniversary of the B University, and the other time was in a café, when I was not in a very good physical condition." ”
"Oh, there's such a thing, I have an impression." She frowned and looked at the end of the summer eyebrows, really familiar, but not on these two occasions.
Suddenly, Luna ran over excitedly, "Mom, I photographed the four-leaf clover, does this mean that Luna will be lucky?" ”
The childish and sweet voice sounded behind the end of the summer, without any thought, she replied reflexively: "Really? How incredible, you've always been a lucky girl. ”
Looking at the end of summer when she was kneeling on the ground and the little girl was looking at the camera, the two big and small women in front of me who were dressed and looked very similar knew that they were mother and daughter at a glance.
Wen Minrui said in an incredible tone: "Ah, is this your daughter? I didn't expect it to grow so big. The inquiring eyes kept staring back and forth between the end of summer and the little girl, because she knew the end of the summer and Li Zhuoxin's part.
At the end of the summer, I felt that it was really unpleasant to come back this time, so I met Chen Xingliang at the wedding scene first, but I didn't expect to encounter such a panicked situation while walking on the road.
She was a little nervous in her heart, hoping that there would be no more surprises in the future. (To be continued.) )
