Chapter 119: Coffee for Two
Chapter 119
Zhao Shirong's office, which is also known as the legendary chairman's office. This office has been renovated since the foundation moved into the current office building, but Cheng Weiguo, the chairman at that time, basically did not stay here for a day. Even when he came to the Foundation, he was mostly wandering around the basement, after all, for him, this kind of economic organization rooted in a certain city had no influence, and what attracted him was just a team wearing the skin of the Foundation and carrying out some secret missions.
With the death of Cheng Weiguo, the special forces originally stationed here also went north with the speakers, and the huge basement space, along with many facilities inside, became the territory of the Security Bureau, which is also the due meaning of Cheng Weiguo's agreement to transfer shares to the Security Bureau. And this chairman's office was rightfully vacant, until today, it has ushered in its new owner.
Although Zhao Shirong is also new and has not prepared any new furniture, but in this chairman's office, there are basically things that should be there, such as the coffee machine and coffee pot she wants to use now, which are ready-made, and they are all good things that can be handled, the coffee machine is an automatic coffee machine made in Italy, and the coffee pot is a Hermes brand made of high-end bone china - many people do not know that the Hermes brand is not only famous for its silk scarves and leather goods, but also for tea sets.
In this way, Zhao Shirong was not satisfied, she boiled the water in the kettle, and then turned out the small hand-grinding machine, and was busy grinding the coffee beans into powder by herself, and explained to Li Hai without raising her head: "This bag of coffee beans is very rare, seventy percent of it is authentic Blue Mountain coffee beans, and the rest is a Japanese coffee bean club, using their own unique recipe, adding other varieties of coffee beans to concoct, the taste is very suitable for Orientals." When cooking, it is best to grind by hand, press by hand, and then filter with filter paper, so that the coffee will be the most fragrant and will not have a sour taste. ”
Li Hai was speechless for a while, for a person like him who drinks oolong tea directly in a big pot, it is better to kill him if he wants to study this kind of thing. Seriously, Lehi's mentality is not only because he is still very dick in his bones, but also because from the perspective of money, studying luxury goods and enjoying life is definitely more money than he earns, and this kind of behavior is really inefficient.
The so-called three generations of nobles are actually saying that if you want to have the necessary connotations of aristocrats, you have to take time to spend money to smash them, and at the same time the idle eggs hurt, there is enough spare money to support your squandering, and finally you can cultivate the so-called nobles. For example, drinking coffee, in Lehi's view, is just the difference between liking and drinking, so why spend so much energy to pursue that little difference in taste? The same coffee tastes different when it is drunk in the mouths of different people, but there are so many ridiculous people who will follow the advice of some coffee experts to taste and distinguish the taste of coffee, which is very ridiculous in itself. Your feeling is your feeling, no one can replace it, why do you care about what others say is good or bad?
Therefore, Lehi was not shy about this, and he didn't even care if people would say that he had no taste. Then his attitude towards coffee knowledge can be imagined. Of course, he also admits that the aroma of the coffee is indeed very unique, which makes this office, which originally seemed very deserted, soon look a little human.
"I don't know how long Zhao Shirong can stay in this office?" In Li Hai's heart, such a thought suddenly flashed, but he immediately extinguished it, the last chairman Cheng Weiguo, the final outcome was not very good. In any case, at present, Li Hai does not want Zhao Shirong to fall to that point: it should be said that he very much does not want to see that scene appear.
Zhao Shirong made the filter paper, set up the coffee pot, put the ground coffee powder on it, poured hot water, and then watched the hot water drip from the pot with the coffee powder, filter through the filter paper, and finally fall into the container below. This process takes about ten minutes to look like.
She sat on the sofa opposite Lehi, stretched, and then looked around: "Is the facilities in this office quite perfect, but it doesn't seem to have been used much." How many days has Boss Cheng lived here? ”
"As far as I know, not a day has passed, and he prefers to stay in the basement." Li Hai replied in a sullen voice: "You can renovate an office and come out, it's nothing, after all, Boss Cheng's ending is not very good." ”
Zhao Shirong smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't mind, the overall decoration style of this office is quite to my liking." Besides, I'm sure I'm not like my ex with you, right? She looked at Lehi with a smile as if the tension in the conference room had been all hallucination.
For a moment, Li Hai himself was also a little in a trance, Zhao Shirong at this moment seemed to be still the beautiful senior sister he liked at the beginning, mature and gentle, and the hidden strength in his heart, if he didn't use his strength, he wouldn't notice it at all. She was always like this, looking at herself with expectation, allowing herself to be encouraged and full of fighting spirit, and never thinking of refusing her request.
However, Lehi recovered quickly, after all, so much time has passed, so much has passed, even if he wants to go back to the past, how can it be so easy? He would not have any hostility towards Zhao Shirong, in Li Hai's opinion, even if Zhao Shirong really wanted to take revenge on him, Li Hai would not blame Zhao Shirong for this, women, it is normal to be wronged, but he will not be restrained, and the rest, with a divine attitude, really don't care.
Therefore, Li Hai nodded happily: "Of course, I believe that as long as everyone is here to do a good job of this foundation, you will feel that having a president like me is the greatest luck as the chairman." "In the middle of speaking, I still added a premise, which means that if you are fooling around and using the Foundation as a place to vent your personal anger, I will not give you any face.
Zhao Shirong smiled happily, as if he didn't hear the thorn in Li Hai's words at all. Seeing that the coffee no longer flowed out from under the filter paper, she lifted the small pot and poured a cup of hot coffee for Lehi, the aroma rose with the mist, and it made people want to drink it when they looked at it: "If you want sugar and milk, add it yourself, speaking of which, I don't know what flavor of coffee you like." ”
Just this sentence made Lehi's heart soften a little. Just over two months ago, when I met Zhao Shirong in Los Angeles, I was still so resolute that I wanted to link each other's futures and make each other happy! However, in the space of two months, what has become like this? In the conference room just now, Li Hai even forced himself to harden his mind and talk to Zhao Shirong in a businesslike tone, and at that time, Li Hai didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But here, when only the two of them are facing each other, if they are cold, Lehi feels that he is too hypocritical.
Picking up the coffee cup, Li Hai took a sip directly, tasted it, and frowned: "It's really bitter!" Then, I added a piece of sugar, tasted a spoonful, added another spoonful of milk, tasted another spoonful, and finally drank it in one gulp, and stretched out the coffee cup towards Zhao Shirong: "I decided, it is better for me to drink the original black coffee with nothing added." ”
Zhao Shirong watched him toss and turn, the smile rose from her cheeks to the corners of her eyes, she was much happier, because Li Hai's behavior was obviously answering her slightly lonely "I don't know what flavor of coffee you like": Ya has never drunk coffee at all, and she doesn't know what flavor she likes!
After pouring a cup for Li Hai again, Zhao Shirong poured another cup for himself, and said with a smile: "Actually, I also like to drink black coffee, but there are few people like me." In fact, it also depends on the quality of the coffee beans, such as Mandheling coffee from Sumatra, it is best to add some milk, otherwise it will be more sour. ”
"Senior sister knows coffee very well, so I'm going to have to disturb it a lot in the future." Lehi nodded, picked up his coffee cup and took another sip. Zhao Shirong's eyes lit up: "You are finally willing to call me senior sister?" Just now, I was a chairman, and it was really uncomfortable to hear. ”
Lehi pouted: "Just now, now is now, then my dad was sitting there just now, should I just call him daddy?" Okay, senior sister, don't go around in circles, it's not interesting to engage in those famous halls between us, what I want to know is, what are you going to do here? If I can cooperate, I will cooperate, I don't really care about the money, and besides, this foundation is not my industry in the first place. ”
"Really? So, if it required you to do something you didn't want to do, to work with someone you didn't like, would you still cooperate with me? Zhao Shirong was quite able to adapt to the topic of Li Hai's teleportation, and immediately raised a more acute problem. She didn't say what she didn't want to do and who she didn't like, but Lehi didn't want to ask, he originally wanted to show his bottom line: "If you can cooperate with me, you will cooperate, if you cross my bottom line, it's a big deal for me to leave." I mean, personally, I don't have a strong attachment to this Foundation, but if someone thinks they can hit me through this, that's different. When necessary, I will fight to the end on the battlefield I don't like. The difference is whether I'm working for someone else or fighting for myself. ”
Lehi's words are simple and clear, but sharp and direct: I don't care about money and power, and I won't dwell on them; But if anyone targets himself personally, then he will not be afraid to fight here! It depends on how the other party chooses.
Zhao Shirong even heard another meaning of Li Hai, he would not make any undue compromises because of the old relationship between him and Zhao Shirong.
"This guy has really matured a lot-" In the curling coffee mist, Zhao Shirong felt in a trance that the Li Hai in front of him had become as majestic as a mountain! Chapter 119
