Long Xi's eyes were so sharp, he could see the disdain flashing in Tong Tong's eyes at a glance, knowing that this little girl was sarcastic about herself, and she didn't break it, just smiled faintly, thanked her, and walked to the front desk.

Quarreling with such a child, that is a matter of self-surrender, such an unbearable temperament, sooner or later will suffer.

Because Hua Yanyan's work performance has always been good, she often works overtime without pay, and her mouth is also sweet, and she is very good at talking.

It's a pity that I was yellowed by that strange thing!

She takes phone calls very seriously, keeps notes, and is also dutiful in receiving guests.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work, Long Xi moved his somewhat sore neck, packed up the papers, and prepared to get off work.

At this time, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and Long Xi saw that it was the phone of the flower mother, and as soon as he picked it up, he heard her cold voice say: "Seafood Hotel, seven o'clock in the evening, the other party's surname is Hu." ”

"But I ......"

As soon as Long Xi said a few words, he heard a "beep" sound on the phone, and the flower mother had already hung up the phone, not even giving her a chance to refuse.

Long Xi thought that he had nowhere to go after work anyway, so he decided to go to the place that Hua Mu said to see what kind of person he was.

It's the time to get off work, the traffic has always been very bad, and the hotel that Hua Mu said is some distance away from Long Xi's company, Long Xi hurried to catch up, or a few minutes late.

Finally arrived at the seafood restaurant, Long Xi looked around, and found that there was a table in the corner, and there was only one man sitting, looking at his watch frequently, with an obvious impatient expression on his face, presumably waiting for someone.

Long Xi walked straight over, stood opposite the man, and asked politely, "Is it Mr. Meng?"

The man looked Long Xi up and down, frowned, tapped the dial of the watch with his finger and said, "Miss Hua, you are a full five minutes and thirty-nine seconds late, how can you not have any sense of time at all?"

Long Xi felt that something was wrong, but after all, she was indeed late, so she apologized first, and then sat down and looked at the man opposite.

Dressed in a well-cut gray suit, with neatly combed hair, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his fair face, he is quite a gentleman.

"Miss Hua, I am a lawyer, our time in this line is very precious, I hope you can understand, my charge for each hour in the firm is 200 yuan, US dollars. Mr. Meng pushed the frame of his glasses and said reservedly.

Long Xi had already apologized just now, and felt the need to explain at this time, but just said: "I received a call temporarily......

Mr. Meng stretched out his hand, made a "stop" gesture with his palm to Long Xi, and said very seriously: "All reasons are excuses, I never listen to explanations." ”

Long Xi was a little apologetic, but he was not happy to say it when he saw the other party so unrelenting, so he just picked up the menu and saw what was delicious.

After a busy day today, I was already hungry, and I couldn't treat my stomach badly.

Mr. Meng saw Long Xi's movements, and said, "Miss Hua, I have already ordered the dishes, and they are selected according to the principles that are most in line with health." ”

Long Xi was stunned, This is even deprived of the right to choose what to eat, this man is too disrespectful, the first time we meet, shouldn't we ask each other's dietary preferences and decide what dishes to order?

"Miss Hua, I heard that you are a white-collar worker?"

Long Xi flipped through the menu, drooling at the big fish and meat in the picture, and nodded, thinking that he should have heard the introducer talk about his situation.

"What is Miss Hua's position now? Manager or Director?"

Long Xi raised his eyelids, his head was still lowered, glanced at the other party, and said with a smile: "I'm just a little clerk, nothing." ”

Sure enough, Mr. Meng frowned and said, "But didn't the introducer say that he was a senior white-collar worker of a Fortune 500 company?"

Long Xi snorted coldly in his heart, and the smile on his face did not disappear, "I am an indifferent person to fame and fortune, and I am not used to managing people, and the little clerk is the most suitable for me." ”

Mr. Meng shook his head and said hatefully: "You are wrong, this is a society full of competition, either you eliminate others, or you are eliminated by others, especially you women, who are already in a weak position in the workplace, and if you don't work hard, you are really hopeless." ”

Long Xi's hand stopped flipping through the color pages of the menu, looked at the other party with an open look and asked, "Oh?

Mr. Meng waved his hand and said: "Look, you have to get married when you are old, and then you have to have a child, and it takes more than a year to get pregnant and maternity leave, which is all attrition. ”

Long Xi pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Meng is really thoughtful, and he thought of having a child when we met for the first time." ”

Mr. Meng didn't care about Long Xi's sarcasm, but said naturally: "These are the basic elements for me to consider the marriage partner, by the way, Miss Hua, what kind of university did you graduate from?"

Long Xi smiled and asked rhetorically, "May I ask what elements Mr. Meng's marriage partner must have?"

Mr. Meng folded his hands on the table and said quite smugly: "Salary, position, background, including but not limited to academic qualifications, graduate school, whether it is a famous brand, what is the ranking in China, what are the famous alumni and so on, and, Miss Hua, what do your parents do? What is your current annual salary? Does the company have supplementary medical insurance to cover family members and children?"

Long Xi suddenly felt that he had no appetite, was this an interview or a blind date?

But Mr. Meng didn't notice it at all, and continued to talk, "I'm a very principled person, this is also my professionalism, for property issues, I have to sign a prenuptial agreement, so as not to waste time when divorced because this matter is not clear, this prenuptial agreement is a very popular thing in the upper class, I think you should be able to accept it, right?"

Long Xi put down the menu, looked at the time, then opened his wallet and took out four hundred-yuan bills and slapped them on the table, got up and began to put on his coat.

"Miss Hua, what are you doing here?" Mr. Meng was saying happily, and was very stunned when he saw Long Xi's movements, and asked puzzledly.

"We've been chatting for a total of twenty minutes now, according to Mr. Meng's price, it should be so much, right?" Long Xi picked up his bag and continued: "Although I am not satisfied with your service, a person with quality like me will not pay the bill." ”

Mr. Meng immediately understood that Long Xi was ridiculing the two hundred dollars per hour conversation fee he just said, his fair face turned red all of a sudden, and he pointed at Long Xi and trembled angrily: "You...... You, how can that?"

Long Xi smiled and said, "If you have more, you will be tipped as a tip." ”

Seeing that Mr. Meng was so angry that he almost had a heart attack and his fingers were trembling, Long Xi suddenly felt depressed.

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said with a smile: "I heard Aunt Xu say that you are not a lawyer yet, just a paralegal." In this case, you shouldn't need to be that expensive, so let's be realistic. ”

She smiled and withdrew the three hundred yuan, turned around very coquettishly, and was about to leave, but heard him call herself behind her back, and couldn't help but look back a little impatiently.

"Miss Hua, this meal is for the two of us, you have no opinion on the AA system, let me take a look at the bill," Mr. Meng blushed, opened the bill on the table and calculated, "The fruit salad is yours, forty-eight, and the steak is mine, sixty-eight ......"

Long Xili didn't pay attention to it, turned around and left, Nima didn't even see a single vegetable leaf, and wanted the old lady to pay for the meal, this is too picky, right?

Out of the hotel, a cold wind blew, Long Xi shrunk his neck, and his meal today was gone.

She touched her stomach, looked left and right, and turned her head to find that there was a small shop selling noodles in the alley next door, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she walked in a few steps.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a hot aroma, there were only five or six tables inside, but they were crowded with people, two guys were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, one cut the beef in front of the table, each slice was thin and even, and the color was bright, and the other was boiling noodles, and there were more than a dozen bowl-sized funnels in a huge pot, and the thin and white noodles inside were tumbling with the clear and boiling soup, which was very beautiful.

Long Xi felt that his appetite was suddenly opened, and he suddenly felt so hungry again, and said to the master: "Give me a bowl of noodles, thank you." ”

One of the guys, a young man, smiled and said, "Okay, you can find a place to sit first, and then you can do it for a while." ”

Long Xi's heart was also warm by his enthusiastic smile, and he agreed and went inside, and this person is quite pleasing to the eye, actually a bit like a deer, especially when he laughs.

She found a place by the window and sat down.

"The noodles are coming, please use them slowly, be careful of scalding. The young man's round face was smiling, and he spoke very kindly, and put his face in front of her.

The clear ten-year life energy color soup, the silver-like noodles are neatly served in the bowl, and more than a dozen slices of cut beef are fan-shaped arranged on the top, and a small pinch of verdant green onion and coriander foam is sprinkled in the middle.

Long Xi swallowed his saliva, and his stomach "gurgled" angrily, and the young man raised his eyes and looked over, obviously hearing it.

Long Xi immediately blushed.

The young man smiled and said, "You're the first time you've visited, right?

He smiled and brought over a cup of bubble tea and plugged in the straw.

Long Xi smiled and accepted the other party's kindness.

She was really hungry, took the bowl and sniffed it deeply, the aroma came to her face, she couldn't help but move her index finger, and couldn't wait to eat, a mouthful of noodles and a mouthful of meat, and suddenly felt a sense of happiness.

Looking at Long Xi's gobbling appearance, the young man's smile couldn't help but deepen.

Long Xi couldn't help but look at the young guy working, and said that a man who works hard is the best-looking, and sure enough!

And she heard others call him "Baozi", and another middle-aged guy is "shopkeeper", so this store should be opened by his family?

Is such a man a good man? I wonder if the original owner will like it?

When she was thinking nonsense, someone next to her was already waiting impatiently, this small shop was doing very good business, and there was already a queue outside, seeing that Long Xi was still not leaving after eating, so he came forward to urge.

Long Xi had to get up, hesitated, and was still embarrassed to say anything to that "bun", talking to a man was not her strong point, especially when she had already thought about it.

Out of the shop, Long Xi looked back at the signboard, and the warm yellow wooden plaque read a few big characters "Baowang Small Noodle Restaurant" in square and mellow words, and couldn't help but be happy!

Long Xi took a deep breath of the night air, Xu had a vigorous beef noodle in his stomach, and he didn't feel cold, but it was very cool and comfortable, and his heart was much more open.

In the days that followed, Long Xi often came to this small shop to eat noodles. First, you can see a few more "buns", and secondly, the noodles here are really her appetite!

She quickly became familiar with the father and son of "Baozi", and knew that the surname of this "Baozi" was Bao's name Qingtian, and his father's name was Bao Laifu.

This shop was opened by Bao Laifu five years ago, because his son's name is Baozi, so the name of the store is "Baozi Small Noodle Shop".

Baozi is very warm and thoughtful to the guests, obviously a cheerful and warm man, not only the appearance, but even the personality is a bit similar to the deer, but not as naughty and funny as the fawn, more simple and honest, this may be the type that the original owner of Hua Yanyan likes?

However, Baozi is not very different from other guests, so Long Xi did not dare to act rashly.

Speaking of which, Long Xi was even a little looking forward to the appearance of that Zhen Ming, this day was somewhat boring, she wanted to try it and tear it apart with the best wonder.

Finally one day, Aunt Xu, the old sister of the flower mother, came to the door and proudly brought good news that she had found a perfect partner for Long Xi.

"This boy is really good, that is, I have a wide road and a big circle, so I can catch it, his family's business is very big, his family runs a hospital, and his car has a million, if your family Longxi marries the past, then it will be the life of a young grandmother in the future, clothes to open mouth and food to stretch out your hand, don't be too comfortable." Aunt Xu said it wildly.

During this time, the flower mother was used to being cleaned up by Long Xi, and after listening to Aunt Xu's introduction, a hint of joy flew on the corners of her eyes, and she paused, quietly glanced at Long Xi's face, and saw that she was just smiling and listening, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the teacup to Aunt Xu, and asked a little eagerly: "How old are you, are you from this city, and what do you do?"

Aunt Xu said that the saliva was flying, but she was really a little thirsty, she took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, patted her thigh and said: "Of course I am from this city, I am the prince, of course I am working in my own hospital, and I will be the dean in the future, and I am Chinese New Year's Eve now, and I am a mature and stable age." ”

Hearing the other party's age, Hua Mu was stunned for a moment, looked at Long Xi with some embarrassment, and said tentatively: "This age seems to be a little older, and there has been no object for so long, don't you have any problems?"

Aunt Xu was not happy when she heard this, her eyes widened and she said: "How do you talk, people are called Diamond King Lao Wu! What kind of people are looking for, it's good to be able to promise to see your daughter, you are still worried about this, worry about that, don't pull it down, a bunch of people are waiting for this good opportunity." ”

"Sister Xu, don't be angry, don't I just ask," Hua Mu couldn't take care of Long Xi in a hurry, so she hurriedly pulled Aunt Xu and said with a smile: "You arrange, listen to you, if it can really be done, I will definitely give you a big red envelope!"

Aunt Xu's face softened a lot, but she complained: "Look at what you said, I am for your Yanyan's lifelong happiness, what kind of red envelope is not a red envelope, okay, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, the old place, seafood hotel, Yanyan, you can dress up well, strive to catch the eyes of others for the first time, now the competition is fierce, you know?"

"Aunt Xu, what's the name of the other party?" Long Xi smiled and didn't ask until this time.

"Look at my memory, I haven't even said my name yet, it's called Zhen Ming, but I can remember it. ”

It's time to come, it's finally here!

The next day, Long Xi, who was dressed up, came to the seafood hotel and finally met Zhen Ming himself.

"You're Miss Hua, you're so beautiful, you have a good figure, and you have a good temperament. Zhen Ming said with a smile, the smile was very uncomfortable, and the gaze was very obscene.

Long Xi finally understood why the original owner rejected Zhen Ming in the first place, this person really made people feel very uncomfortable, she resisted the urge to leave and sat down.

"Miss Hua, whatever you want to eat, I will pay for the expensive points, not bad money!" Zhen Ming rubbed his hands, with a flattering smile on his face, and glanced straight at Long Xi's chest.

Long Xi frowned, erected a menu book like a big brick, knocked on the table, blocked Zhen Ming's sight, and didn't have the heart to look at it carefully, so he directly called the waiter and said, "Please bring you a copy of the most expensive dishes here, thank you." ”

Long Xi sneered, then bleed for him.

"Add a bottle of red wine, it's the most expensive. Zhen Ming was not only not angry, but was excited, twisted his body twice on the stool, and then said.

The waiter's eyes looked like two neuropaths, but he was happy to write them down and prepare.

Long Xi knew that what he was thinking in his heart must be "people are stupid, there is a lot of money, and they are slaughtered quickly", Huhu, she also thinks so.

Waiting for the dishes to be served one by one, Zhen Ming raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Cheers to our meeting today!"

Long Xi glanced at him, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but saw Zhen Ming drink it.

Long Xi didn't care about him, he ate by himself, the last time he came here, he didn't eat a single dish, and he was asked to pay the bill, this time he should come to make up for it.

So during the whole meal, I saw Long Xi burying his head in hard work, while Zhen Ming kept talking.
