Chapter XVII
"I haven't seen you at school lately, are you lazy?"
In the teahouse, Liang Jiayin didn't move the pot of Junshan silver needles, but took out a new teacup and poured the ordinary flower tea in Su Jingxian's teapot to drink.
Hearing Liang Jiayin ask, Su Jingxian yawned: "I have work to do, do you think everyone is just like you, you don't have to run around for a living?" ”
Su Jingxian doesn't know much about Liang Jiayin's family background, only that the mother of this Chinese-British mixed-race girl is a well-known Chinese barrister, and she once went to the Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong to take a few classes.
A girl like Liang Jiayin, in the words of later generations, is a typical Bai Fumei, otherwise the manager of Lu Yu's teahouse, who has always been above the top, would not serve diligently.
"I just came in to see you listening to the music, and it doesn't look like you have work to do at all." Liang Jiayin pursed her lips, skeptical of Su Jingxian's words.
Su Jingxian didn't bother to explain to Liang Jiayin, in his eyes, Liang Jiayin was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with a wealthy family and ignorance of the world, did he tell her that he had recently accompanied his boss to a nightclub every day to pimp out the ghost guy and choose a dancer?
"Haven't you been preparing for a table tennis match for Ghost Christmas lately?" Su Jingxian diverted the topic, "There is still more than a month before Christmas, have you grown?" ”
Liang Jiayin raised her chin proudly: "Of course, don't think that only you can play table tennis, my current coach Ms. Larissa is the women's table tennis champion in Lothian, England, and my level will be higher than you in a month at most." ”
"Oh." Su Jingxian said casually.
Liang Jiayin was choked by his indifferent attitude and didn't know what to say, and was stunned for a long time before she said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that I will surpass you at all?" ”
Su Jingxian poured the flower tea in the cup, rinsed the wall of the cup with hot water, and then picked up the Junshan silver needle placed in front of Liang Jiayin and poured it for himself: "First, table tennis is just my hobby, and I don't participate in the competition, even if I am surpassed by you, it doesn't matter." Second, with your current level, even if you invite the top table tennis players in England to guide you, it is impossible to surpass me in just one month. ”
Liang Jiayin said unhappily: "I went to the school board to ask for a place for you, do you dare to compete in the finals?" ”
"You'll talk about it in the finals!" Su Jingxian raised his head and looked at the door, "Hey, my friend has arrived." Uncle Zhong, come and sit. ”
At the door of the private room of the teahouse, Chen Bingzhong was carrying a file bag in his hand, and when he saw Su Jingxian waving to him, he hurriedly walked in.
"Mr. Su, I brought the materials you wanted." Chen Bingzhong came to Su Jingxian's side, put the file bag on the table, then looked at Liang Jiayin, and then at Su Jingxian, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Su Jingxian knew what Chen Bingzhong was thinking without asking, moved his body to the window, and gave way for Chen Bingzhong to sit down: "Introduction, I know Liang Jiayan at the University of Hong Kong, you can also call her Caroline." ”
Chen Bingzhong nodded again and again, and introduced himself to Liang Jiayin: "Hello Miss Liang, contemptible Chen Bingzhong." ”
Liang Jiayin smiled politely, didn't say anything, but reached out to take the file bag that Chen Bingzhong put on the table: "Su Jingxian, what is in this?" ”
Su Jingxian has long been accustomed to her familiar personality, and she will not stop her, but Chen Bingzhong saw that Liang Jiayin was going to get the file bag, so he quickly reached out and held it down with a nervous face.
The things in the file bag he had seen before were all the planning materials about the newspaper, and these things were to be sent to the Information Administration and the Audit Office for registration, which was equivalent to a trade secret for Chen Bingzhong, and he was not sure what the relationship between this Miss Liang and Su Jingxian was, so he could only stop the other party.
Seeing that the other side of the file bag was held down by Chen Bingzhong, Liang Jiayin couldn't help frowning, Su Jingxian knew the temper of this eldest lady, and also understood what Chen Bingzhong was worried about, and said to Chen Bingzhong with a smile: "It's up to her, she is a formal student of the University of Hong Kong, and our petty business is nothing to her at all." ”
The boss spoke, Chen Bingzhong had no choice but to let go of his hand, Liang Jiayin snorted, and glanced at Chen Bingzhong provocatively, who laughed dryly and made a gesture of please.
"I'm not here these days, how are the preparations for the newspaper going?" Seeing that Liang Jiayin had already opened the file bag to read the materials inside, Su Jingxian turned his face to Chen Bingzhong, who was beside him.
Chen Bingzhong cleared his throat: "My friends and I have already set up the factory in Yuen Long, and all the equipment has been tried, it can operate normally, and we can start printing newspapers at any time. ”
Su Jingxian nodded and said approvingly: "Good job, I will take the materials and go to the government office with me, and the newspaper can be opened after completing the formalities." ”
Chen Bingzhong rubbed his hands a little excitedly and asked Su Jingxian: "Mr. Su, other people in the newspaper also want to meet your new boss, I wonder when you will be free?" Everyone sat down together and celebrated with a glass of wine. ”
"Liu Changhua gave me half a month's leave, you can arrange the time." Su Jingxian also felt that his boss seemed to be a little incompetent, and he hadn't met with his employees until now, so he added: "The place to celebrate is in the Taiping Restaurant, you set a seat and notify me." ”
Taiping Restaurant is a good restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is more than enough for the banquet for the opening of the newspaper.
After talking a few more words with Chen Bingzhong, after discussing the opening of the business, Su Jingxian looked at Liang Jiayin across the table, and the girl was still holding the materials in her hand and watching it with relish.
"Hey, Caroline, don't you have to take it so seriously!" Su Jingxian reached out and snatched the paper in her hand, then put it back into the file bag, bowed his head and said, "I'm going to the government office now to do serious business, you go back to school!" ”
Liang Jiayin didn't care about the materials in Su Jingxian's hand when she took away the materials, and said casually after moving her wrist: "Although I don't understand the newspaper, I remember that this kind of founding requires a lawyer to accompany me fairly, have you hired a good lawyer?" ”
Su Jingxian's hand moved, and he turned his head to look at Chen Bingzhong beside him.
The expression on Chen Bingzhong's face also froze a little bit, and he spoke after a while: "I was only the editor-in-chief before, not the boss, I don't know if it's normal for a lawyer to be notarized for the first publication?" ”
"So you didn't hire a lawyer." Liang Jiayin saw that the two of them looked at each other, and already knew that Su Jingxian had not hired a lawyer, so she said again, "It's okay, there is a lawyer's office next to the government office, and you can hire a licensed lawyer when you arrive." ”
Su Jingxian touched his pocket, he hadn't returned to Tsim Sha Tsui for the past two days, and there was only one hundred and ten yuan of change left on his body, so he had to look at Chen Bingzhong helplessly: "Do you have any money with you?" ”
Chen Bingzhong laughed dryly and took out two crumpled ten-dollar Hong Kong dollars from his pocket.
"I'll pounce on you......" Su Jingxian's head was big for a while, he looked at Chen Bingzhong with an innocent face, swallowed back again, rubbed his eyebrows and said to Chen Bingzhong, "I'll go back to Tsim Sha Tsui to withdraw money now, do you want to go together?" ”
Liang Jiayin couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw the dejected appearance of the two big men, it was the first time she had seen Su Jingxian like a defeated rooster since she met him.
"Everyone, classmates, why don't I help you get a lawyer?" Seeing Su Jingxian get up and prepare to leave, Liang Jiayin blinked and said with a smile.
