Chapter 4: Think about it
"The love I yearn for exists only because we love each other. It doesn't matter who we are, what our family background or background is. Do you think a man who can't even face up to my job is worth entrusting for life? I took a sip of the mellow English milk tea and slowly raised my head.
"I can't mean you, but you're a girl, so you don't need to be reckless."
"You should know that I'm the kind of stupid person who hits the south wall and doesn't look back. I only do what I think is right, and I never choose what is good for me. I rubbed the bone china teacup in my hand, the temperature of the cup smeared to my fingertips. I didn't know that she was for my good, but when she wasn't around, I was already used to walking alone with caries, although it was hard but practical.
"The matter of the land I just told you, you should think about it again."
"Okay, I'll think about it." I looked at my phone, and Wang Kai sent a message.
Zheng Yao rubbed her swollen forehead, how well she knew her daughter, saying that she would consider it was just a polite remark, and it was impossible to have any more follow-ups.
"I have something to deal with, so I'll go first." I got up and walked out of the restaurant, and when I took a taxi on the side of the road, I glanced back into the restaurant, just in time for my mother's worried eyes. At that moment, my heart pounded. I admit that I have a grudge against her, but my love for her has not diminished in the slightestβthe love is so deep and the responsibility is so deep that we can't get along as closely as we used to, but we can't let go of each other. Perhaps the most appropriate distance is to look at each other in pairs.
When I returned to the frost forest, I looked through the purchase order that Wang Kai gave me, and then signed: "You order such a large batch of Lafite, don't you keep it for yourself?" β
"The older the wine, the more fragrant it becomes, and it's good not to drink it and wait for it to appreciate." Wang Kai sandwiched the purchase order into the folder: "In the morning, let people sort out the wine cellar and make a large space to make it so that it will not be filled with white tosses." β
I patted my head on the wrist β the top student at Harvard Business School, and the reason for the additional stock was to fill the wine cellar. If it weren't for the fact that after a few years of running-in, I knew that Wang Kai was very reliable, I'm afraid I would have collapsed in an instant.
"Mr. Jing doesn't have to be afraid." Wang Kai smiled at me: "I've checked, this batch of wine is a lot of vintage, and you won't suffer a loss." β
"Mr. Jing, your wonton noodles." A princess pushes the door in with a tray.
"Don't bother you to eat, I'll go to the finance to transfer money." Wang Kai went out with the purchase order.
I usually eat alone, so I don't bother to match it, a bowl of noodles or a plate of fried rice is a meal. As I ate the noodles, I suddenly felt a little sad - I was so alone, I was alone even eating. After a bowl of noodles, I began to look at last month's accounts. It was quiet in the office, and only the clatter of the pendulum could be heard.
The door of the office was knocked a few times, and the foreman downstairs walked in: "Mr. Jing, Mr. Zhuang is here, Xiaoxiang said that today is Mr. Zhuang's birthday." β
"Oh." I nodded: "You ask the kitchen to prepare a cake, and I'll go down in a while." β
I straightened my suit and skirt and walked out of the office, the foreman said that the birthday cake had been delivered, I nodded and pushed open the door of the 'broken jade' and walked in: "Happy birthday Mr. Zhuang." β
"Miss Jing is so polite, she gave Zhuang such a beautiful cake." Zhuang Peng leaned back on the sofa, and Xiaoxiang sat beside him obediently and poured him wine.
"Mr. Zhuang came to the frost forest to get drunk for his birthday, I have to express it." I took the wine poured by Xiaoxiang: "I toast the birthday star." β
"Why do you have to toast three cups for the birthday star?" Lu Zihang, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, laughed ruffianly.
"Okay, good, three glasses." Xiaoxiang poured me wine, naturally picking the lowest degree. Even if they poured me with spirits, I would have to continue. Although I don't know much about the circle of Fengcheng's high society, the name of 'Fengcheng Four Youths' is still like thunder, and Zhuang Peng and Lu Zihang are the second and fourth youths. At the beginning of the opening of the frost forest drunk, Xiaoxiang taught me - in this business, you don't know what kind of guests to please; But you can't offend which kind of guest must be recognized, otherwise there is no place to bury you.
"The turquoise picture of Li Kuchan that Miss Jing chose for me last time has risen a lot recently, and Miss Jing will accompany me to see it when I have a photo in the future." Lu Zihang took a cigarette and put it to his lips.
"It's just that I got the wrong idea, Mr. Lu, don't come to find the account." I picked up the lighter on the coffee table and lit a cigarette for him.
"The third brother is here." I followed Lu Zihang's gaze and looked at the door, just met Qiao Yichen's deep eyes, and couldn't help but shudder.
Qiao Yichen should have just attended some important occasion, wearing a navy blue suit and cuffs. He took off his blazer before he sat down and glanced at the cake on the coffee table: "Who's on a birthday?" β
"It's my second brother's birthday today." Lu Zihang shrugged.
"Why do you remember to celebrate your birthday on the Gregorian calendar?" Qiao Yichen reached out and took the collar flower down.
"The fourth child is joking, it's hard for Miss Jing to send a cake." Zhuang Peng motioned for Xiaoxiang to pour wine for Qiao Yichen.
"I don't drink, get me a cup of tea." Qiao Yichen lit a cigarette to himself.
"Third brother, you're kidding me." Lu Zihang deliberately made trouble: "Do you think Shuanglin drunk is a teahouse?" β
"I've drunk too much and have a headache." Qiao Yichen's body leaned into the sofa, his posture was a little lazy, but it was very good-looking.
"A few people talk slowly, I still have some business to deal with, so I won't accompany you." I exited the private room at the right time, and ordered the waiter at the door to get a pot of herbal tea to relieve hangover and send it over, so it was reasonable that I owed Qiao Yichen a favor yesterday. In fact, when I first saw Qiao Yichen, it was not difficult to see that he was not a thing in the pool, but I still didn't expect him to be so big. I've already seen three of the famous 'Four Youths of Fengcheng', and I don't know if I can summon the Divine Dragon if I see all four?
First took a turn in the VP private room on the third floor, and roughly asked what kind of guests there were today, except for the 'broken jade' one, there were no guests who needed to socialize, so I went back to the office. I didn't sleep well last night, and today I feel like I'm wearing a golden hoop on my head, and I feel dizzy after reading those accounts. I told Wang Kai and the foreman to pay more attention, and then took my satchel and went downstairs to go home.
Before I could get out of the parking lot in my milky white Beetle, a dark blue Bugatti flew past me, scaring me out of the woods. I got out of the parking lot and remembered that the car just now seemed to be Qiao Yichen's. Drunk driving is still driving so fast, this kind of person is a real road killer.
