Chapter 186: Off the line
After an hour of talking, Xie Keer turned his head and smiled at her: "Miss Ling, I thought you were a student who usually walked the dog part-time, but I didn't expect you to be a lawyer, you are really unseemly." ”
Ling Li smiled and couldn't help but answer: "I also thought you were a dog idiot." ”
When he said this, Xie Ke'er had a stunned expression on his face, and then immediately laughed: "You read that right, I'm a dog idiot." ”
And Zhu Jinchuan glanced at her coldly, lowered his voice and reminded her: "Ling Li! ”
Only then did she react to the gaffe, and hurriedly apologized: "I didn't mean that......"
Xie Keer raised his hand to interrupt her apology, and then laughed: "Don't care, before I was discharged from the army, my job in the army was to train police dogs, and I spent more time with dogs over the years, of course I am obsessed with dogs." ”
Unexpectedly, Xie Keer turned out to be a soldier, Ling Li couldn't help but be speechless: "I really can't see it." ”
He spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "There is no way to do it, I can't read, I can't pass the three books, my old man is afraid that I will be sent abroad to study and get worse, so I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother, carry my collar and throw it to the army, and said that if I dare to run, don't think about taking a penny at home." ”
Looking at Ling Li's slow reaction and the need to restart, Zhu Jinchuan had no choice but to come out to play a round.
"The so-called character determines fate, there are many examples of not waking up when I was a child and growing up to be promising, Xiao Xie, even if you don't go to the army to experience it, you will have other experiences."
Xie Keer smiled and was about to reply, when suddenly the secretary knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Xie, the person who undertook the issue said that today's meeting was canceled." ”
"Why?" He frowned, and the expression that had just been gentle suddenly became solemn.
"I didn't say it." The secretary replied, his voice a little timid, as if he was afraid that Sheker would get angry.
Just arrived in Yinghong just now and was received by this secretary but the secretary sister was a little awkward Ling Li didn't remember it, and vaguely remembered her surname He.
Xie Keer pursed his lips and thought for a few minutes, and then smiled with relief: "It seems that these old fritters still signed up for the group, and they joined forces to bully me as a newcomer." ”
Seeing the ice and snow melt on his face, Secretary He nodded slightly as relieved, and his expression was a little more relaxed.
Zhu Jinchuan asked about the causes and consequences of his words, and Xie Keer replied one by one, listening to Ling Li's half-understanding level of the company's capital operation, which seemed to be related to Yinghong's financing channels and other issues.
After he finished speaking, he consulted Zhu Jinchuan on several professional issues in company law, all of which were closely related to practice. Fortunately, although Zhu Dazhu focuses on the field of intellectual property, these companies are not unfamiliar, and he is also prepared this time, and Xie Keer's problem is not difficult for him.
They were talking about the company's operation while drinking tea, and Ling Li, who was sitting with them, couldn't say a word. She should have listened and studied well, but her attention was uncontrollably attracted by the tall and beautiful-skinned secretary on the side.
The pretty secretary who was supposed to continue to go out to guard the door stayed in the office after the phone call just now, serving tea and pouring water diligently.
Secretary He is at least 1.7 meters tall, but he has a small skeleton that is rare for southerners, he doesn't look stout at all, his figure is picturesque, and he has deep dimples when he smiles lightly, which is really a rare beauty.
Such an eye-catching girl shook in front of her eyes, Xie Keer did not express displeasure, and Secretary He's expression was a little nervous at the beginning, but now he has been smiling, and his voice is so sweet that it is tireless.
Even Ling Li, who was half a beat slower, could see that this sister was very conscientious to please her boss, and seized every opportunity to show her face in front of the boss.
Secretary He changed the water for Ling Li again, and found that she hadn't drunk much, so he bowed down and smiled at her, and asked in a low voice, "Lawyer Ling, don't you like this tea?" ”
The coffee table is very low, and the height of the sofa is not high, for Secretary He's tall man, she has to almost kneel on the ground to make Ling Li.
Such a beautiful woman with exquisite makeup and proper dressing, whispering gentle words to her, coupled with the faint smell of perfume on the girl's body, should have been fresh and pleasant.
But what Ling Li doesn't like the most is the sweet and greasy fragrance of gardenias.
She was stunned by this almost kneeling service, and coupled with the attack of the fragrant wind, she subconsciously said what was in her heart: "It's too strong, I'm not used to it." ”
Zhu Jinchuan heard her answer, and a cold look threw over to signal her to shut up. He could judge just by her expression that this sentence was not just about tea, but I was afraid that it would make people feel uncomfortable.
But Secretary He didn't care at all, and didn't seem to hear Ling Li's unintentional voice.
She looked at the teacup and replied apologetically: "I'm sorry to give you the bamboo leaf green, I'll change the nectar for you." ”
Xie Keer still talked and laughed and didn't seem to pay attention at all, but the moment Secretary He gently walked past him and went to the pantry to make tea again, the tip of his nose shrugged slightly, and he seemed to frown slightly.
There was no important meeting, Xie Keer had no time in the morning, and he actually talked to Zhu Jinchuan about the economic situation, national affairs, and the business environment.
Zhu Jinchuan looked at the time, stood up and said goodbye, but Xie Keer stayed: "Zhu lawyer, it's rare to have time to listen to your opinions, it's better to have a simple working meal together, and let me have more opportunities to learn from you." ”
He said it humbly and sincerely, and Zhu Jinchuan naturally did not refuse.
An hour later, Ling Li was stunned at the three plates in front of her.
What's going on? What about the "simple working meal"? Shouldn't you just have some fried noodles, fried rice, and ramen just to deal with? Even if the big boss Xie Keer is rich, he won't come across most of the city to eat in a private restaurant, right?
And, why is there a pile of dark dishes in front of her that is comparable to looking up at the starry sky?
The corners of Ling Li's eyes twitched, recalling the name of the dish reported by the waiter just now. In front of her was what appeared to be some kind of cuttlefish ink seafood fried rice, cuttlefish ink dumplings, and a strange salad tossed with cuttlefish ink......
Hey, does this chef have a grudge against cuttlefish? I like to squeeze out other people's juices and throw them everywhere.
Oh no, it's obviously a grudge against her. Looking at the pasta and salad in front of Zhu Jinchuan and Xie Keer, the accessories are asparagus, shrimp, tuna and the like, so normal that they can no longer be normal food, just a few plates on her side.
Where is this bullish shop? Guests are not allowed to order by themselves when they come to eat, you can only eat whatever the chef is willing to give you, and this pile of black things in front of you is all black, can you eat it?
She had been holding the spoon for a long time, and she didn't have the courage to dig into the pile of unknown objects, and even wanted to find an excuse to slip away, but she was suppressed by herself when she just came out of the ground this year.
The boss is still conscientiously serving the bigger boss, but he wants to slip away? Aren't you afraid of being fried with squid in cuttlefish sauce again? Her uncle's gold-lettered signboard was enough to use it once or twice, how could she always take it out as a shield.
Xie Keer looked at her embarrassed look and asked understandingly: "Are you not used to eating cuttlefish?" ”
"It's not." She smiled reluctantly, "I'm observing." ”
Zhu Jinchuan, who was drinking mushroom soup, almost squirted out a mouthful of soup, tilted his head slightly after a few seconds, and said lightly: "Mr. Xie just said that the most famous thing in this restaurant is the cuttlefish juice dish, and I specially made a copy for you with the chef, don't eat it if you don't like it." ”
No matter from the expression to the tone, it is a warning with a bit of knocking.
The little girl who was focused on by the boss immediately shook her head, picked up the spoon as if she was dead, and closed her eyes and put the black hemp stuff into her mouth.
When the plump rice grains full of black sauce touched her tongue, her eyes suddenly opened, and her face was full of incredulity.
What a delicious taste! The seasoning is just right, and the rice grains are wrapped in a thick soup, with a faint salty and umami taste of the sea, but there is no trace of fishy smell at all. There is also fresh shredded cuttlefish mixed in it, which is sweet and springy.
For Ling Li, who likes to eat seafood, this meal is too much for her appetite.
Her taste buds seemed to be awakened by the spoonful of rice, and her stomach, which was not very hungry just now, suddenly became hungry, and then she entered a state where everything was delicious.
She couldn't hear or see what Zhu Jinchuan and Xie Keer were talking about anymore, she was concentrating on solving the few plates of food in front of her, and when she looked up when the plates were empty, she found Xie Keer's frightened eyes on the other side.
As soon as he turned his head, Zhu Jinchuan next door also had a disgusted expression on his face.
Ling Li didn't know what to do, and her head was a little slow to react after eating, so she asked blankly, "What's wrong?" ”
Xie Keer didn't answer, and Zhu Jinchuan coughed lightly.
"Did eating too much scare you?" She suddenly realized something, smiled awkwardly at Xie Keer, and counted on making a joke about herself to make the big boss.
Xie Keer finally had another expression, the corners of his eyes couldn't stop going up, and the muscles on his face trembled, and he was about to lose his breath.
The chef here has a strange temper, and he has to eat whatever he gives, because he is a regular customer, and today it is good to talk about it so that the chef can give three points of face and make his best three cuttlefish ink dishes.
This full amount of rice, dumplings and salad, he never thought that Ling Li could eat it alone. For example, the dumplings were originally ordered by him, but he didn't have time to elaborate on them just now, and the waiter's position was too close to Ling Li, which made her misunderstand.
It's no wonder that he didn't make it clear, not to mention this oolong, the little lawyer opposite was too full of food, his eyes were dumbfounded, and his mouth was as if he had just gnawed on honeycomb coal......
"I'm sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." Xie Keer lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists to cover his lips and tried desperately to hold back a laugh, and then made an excuse and left.
Zhu Jinchuan snorted lightly, picked up the wet wipes in front of him and threw them to Ling Li: "Wipe your mouth quickly, you look like you have been poisoned." ”
Half a minute later, Ling Li looked at the black ink on the wet wipes, and the shame swept over her.
She was talking to Sheker with a mouthful of jet-black cuttlefish juice just now? Are you embarrassed to smile at people? I'm afraid that my teeth are all black!
Hong Kong Zhen, Xie Keer is very educated.
Sheng covered his face and confessed, but Zhu Jinchuan mended the knife on the side: "If you eat too much, you will look like a female ghost, if this client changes the authorization, it will definitely scare you away with this ugly appearance." ”
From this sentence on, Ling Li no longer dared to face Xie Keer, and he was always worried about whether he would really get rid of the commission because of his stupid behavior.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, when he came out of the hotel and separated, Xie Keer, who had almost broken the score just now, had already recovered his peaceful and harmless appearance, and shook hands with Ling Li politely and said goodbye: "Lawyer Ling, please pay more attention to this case." ”
I don't know if it's because my brain is on the wrong line again, or if I'm letting go of myself after being relieved, Ling Li couldn't help but be quick when she heard his words: "It's good if you don't withdraw the entrustment, I thought I could scare away a customer by eating." ”
Xie Keer was stunned when he heard this, and the strength in his hand was a little heavier, obviously he didn't expect that a polite word could trigger such a straightforward answer.
He didn't have the strength to bring it back, grinned, and then withdrew his hand and made a somewhat ridiculous gesture - touching his forehead.
suddenly remembered the embarrassment of someone falling into the dog dung heap when they met for the first time, and when they were full of poop, they were obviously too anxious to be polite to him, but they were not good at talking, which was comparable to the performance of a connotative comedian.
In the morning, a very important meeting was temporarily released by the pigeon, not only the project could not be negotiated but also lost face, it is likely that some people in the company who are still not convinced by him have calculated. He was actually still a little depressed, and he wanted to take the opportunity to ask Zhu Jinchuan, a senior lawyer who had nothing to do with several major factions in the company, to ask for something, but he unexpectedly ran into such a stupid person.
Xie Keer was in an inexplicably better mood, raised his hand and chuckled and said, "Then I'll see you next time." ”
