Chapter Seventy-Three: I Want Ice Cream
After listening to Qian Shao's words, Liu Rumei couldn't help frowning. I can understand her thoughts at the moment, Shi Xiaohu's badness is somewhat unexpected to her. It's no wonder that Shi Qiang refused to match the bridge at first, and finally explained the reason to Liu Rumei very frankly, and clearly asked her to help go through the motions, from this point of view, Shi Qiang is still more particular.
Liu Rumei and Qian Shao were still chatting, and I was idle and searched back and forth in the crowd for Shi Xiaohu's traces, looked around for a while, and finally found him in the corner on one side. He was talking to a waitress who was so amused by him that she had completely forgotten that she was still at work. Seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Qian Shao said that he was "stinky shit", just the fact that he could get flowers and grass everywhere, it was not too much to say that he was nothing.
Liu Rumei and Qian Shao had been chatting about Qian Shao's engagement, until a waiter serving wine passed by, Liu Rumei stopped him and asked, "Why is music playing in this banquet hall all the time today, where is the person in charge of piano playing?" ”
The waiter hurriedly replied: "Mr. Liu, Sister Xiaoyu is on sick leave." ”
Liu Rumei frowned and asked, "I was fine two days ago, why did I ask for sick leave?" What's sick? ”
"This ...... This ......" waiter is hesitant, as if he is afraid to say something.
Liu Ru's brows furrowed even more, and she asked: "You will answer whatever I ask you, and if you don't know, you will say that you don't know, what kind of trouble are you going to make?" ”
The sweat on the waiter's forehead came down, and he wiped his forehead with his sleeve very disregardantly, and then said, "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoyu...... That ......"
Liu Rumei was almost sure that there was something wrong here, and it was not small, she wanted to continue to ask the waiter in front of her again, but she was stopped by Qian Shao on the side.
Qian Shao said: "I said Miss, don't embarrass him, you see that his anxious sweat has come down." ”
Liu Rumei took over and said, "However, I think there is something here, and I have to ask clearly." ”
"I know something's wrong." Qian Shao waved his hand at Liu Rumei, then lowered his voice and said, "This matter has something to do with that Young Master Shi." ”
"Oh?" Liu Rumei was surprised and asked, "You know?" ”
Qian Shao nodded, then sighed and whispered, "Hey! What a good girl, so much of a disaster......"
Hearing him say this, Liu Rumei instantly understood what was going on, but she never expected this kind of thing to happen in her own store. Her pretty face became cold, her eyes became sharp, and she asked Qian Shao very seriously: "Qian Sen, are you serious?" ”
Qian Shao was not ambiguous, drank all the wine in the cup, handed the empty wine glass to the waiter, and then said seriously: "Xiaoliu, this kind of thing, I, Qian Sen, will not joke." ”
Liu Rumei nodded, turned to the waiter who was standing aside in a daze and said, "You go and find Manager Zheng, and by the way, clean up the bandstand, I will use it later." ”
"Okay, Mr. Liu, I'll do it right away." After the waiter finished speaking, he left as quickly as if he had received amnesty.
"Hey!" Liu Rumei sighed, it seemed that she was very concerned about this matter.
Qian Shao didn't speak again, picked up a glass of wine from the side again, and tasted it slowly. After all, this is a matter in Koyanagi's shop, and it is inconvenient for me to interject, so I also picked up a glass of wine from the side and tasted it slowly.
"Mr. Liu, you ...... Are you looking for me? A middle-aged man with a big belly hurried over, and it seemed that he should be the person in charge here.
"Manager Zheng, do you know about Xiaoyu?" Liu Rumei's tone was calm and straight to the point.
With just this sentence, Manager Zheng's sweat has come down. He hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his hand, and then said nervously, "Liu...... Anyway, it's a long story...... All...... It's all ...... It's all ......."
Liu Rumei continued to ask calmly: "What's the blame?" ”
Manager Zheng was already extremely nervous at this time, he raised his right hand and slapped his cheeks, and then said, "Yes...... That Shi Xiaohu...... He's been pestering the light rain for the other day......"
Liu Rumei nodded, and then said, "Manager Zheng, what should I do if that situation happened in the store at that time?" ”
"Blame me for not dealing with it in time...... Didn't report to the top in time......" Manager Zheng slapped himself as he said, completely ignoring the strange stares cast by the people around him.
Liu Rumei neither scolded him nor stopped him, and after quietly watching him slap himself several times, he said calmly: "What should I do next?" Do you know? ”
"Clear, clear." Manager Zheng hurriedly replied.
Liu Rumei didn't say anything more, just waved her hand lightly to signal him to leave. Manager Zheng also left in a hurry after receiving amnesty.
"Makes you laugh." Liu Rumei said to Qian Shao: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the store." ”
Qian Shao didn't say anything, just shrugged his shoulders to show helplessness.
Liu Rumei breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said to Qian Shao: "Forget it, don't mention it, I'll play a song to help the cocktail party." ”
After she finished speaking, she left on her own, and Qian Shao and I looked at her back for a long time. I don't know what Qian Shao sighed, I am sighing that Liu Rumei, who has always been soft and weak, is not ambiguous at all when she handles things. Judging from the performance of Manager Zheng just now, she must have used thunder methods before, so Manager Zheng seemed a little scared of her.
Liu Rumei stood calmly on the bandstand and looked at the chaotic crowd around her. At this time, everyone was still toasting and chatting in groups, and not many people noticed her. She smiled and gestured to me, I don't know if she was at me or Qian Shao, she just replied with a gesture mechanically, and looked sideways at Qian Shao who also gestured back.
Liu Rumei smiled and sat down in front of the three-legged piano, gently swiped her fingers over the keys to feel the range, and then began to play calmly. The piece she played on stage was Beethoven's "Destiny" that I had heard on audio before, but never before in the presence of people as I do now. Although I don't know much about music, I can feel that Liu Rumei plays very well, at least the attention of the people around her has been completely attracted by her piano sound.
It was quiet, and the only sound of the piano was playing in the whole reception scene. At that time, the turbulent and sometimes soothing notes were beating, as if fate was beating on the hearts of everyone present.
At the end of the song, applause rang out.
Liu Ru stood with her eyebrows and bowed her head to everyone.
But there was a discovery that surprised me greatly, everyone at the scene was asking more about who this beautiful woman playing the piano was, and some even wondered if it was Qian Shao's boyfriend, these people obviously didn't know Liu Rumei. This girl is really low-key, from the beginning to the present, the people who seem to be able to recognize her are not only Qian Shao, that is, her own waiters.
Liu Rumei did not step down from the stage, but sat down and played again. This time it's "To Alice," and the soothing sound of the piano tugs at everyone's heartstrings, as couples step off the dance floor and dance to the music. I followed the beat of the music, humming this beauty softly, and enjoying this quiet talk.
At the end of the song, Liu Rumei did not stop but followed up with the song "Autumn Whispers", and more people walked off the dance floor, dancing intoxicated. I don't know much music, but I can tell she's pretty good at the piano, or so I think.
At the end of the song, the whole scene was frozen for a moment, so quiet that the pin drop could be heard, followed by thunderous applause.
Liu Rumei stood up again, bowed her chin in motion, but did not sit down again, but withdrew from the bandstand. As soon as she stepped out of the bandstand, I saw a figure walking towards her. That's Shi Xiaohu, what is he going to do, I don't understand, and hurriedly walked over.
"This young lady plays so well." After Shi Xiaohu saw Liu Rumei, he took the initiative to talk.
Liu Ru smiled and said calmly, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
Shi Xiaohu probably felt that there was a door, and hurriedly introduced himself: "My name is Shi Xiaohu, everyone calls me Hu Shao, I don't know the name of Miss?" ”
Liu Rumei continued to smile and said calmly: "Liu Rumei, everyone here calls me Mr. Liu. ”
I obviously saw Shi Xiaohu's face change, and his smile froze on his face, he probably didn't expect that the person he was dating would meet in advance on this occasion. Shi Xiaohu knew that this was the Liu family's field, but the Liu family's field was too much, he didn't expect to meet Liu Rumei here at all, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Tiger less, huh?" Liu Rumei didn't care about his change of face, and said with a smile: "I still have to ask you for advice about my Xiaoyu." ”
Shi Xiaohu's face was even more ugly, and it was obvious that Xiaoyu's matter was indeed related to him. I guess he must be in a very complicated mood at the moment, he moved the little sister of the blind date company, and was caught by the blind date, what an embarrassing emotion this must be.
"This ...... This ......" Shi Xiaohu was speechless for a moment, he suddenly regained his previous look, and said with a smile: "I don't know where Miss Liu heard the news, but I think Miss Liu must have misunderstood, I don't know anyone who is Xiaoyu Xiaoxue......"
"Oh? Don't know, do you? Liu Rumei asked.
"I don't know." Shi Xiaohu replied resolutely.
"Okay." Liu Rumei didn't say anything more, turned around and waved at me.
When I saw it, I walked over quickly and asked, "What's the matter?" Leaf. ”
Liu Rumei ignored Shi Xiaohu next to him, reached out and grabbed my arm, snuggled next to me and said, "I want to eat ice cream." ”
I asked, "Now?" ”
Liu Rumei said: "Well, the fire is too big, and it needs to be cool and cool." ”
"Well, let's go." I nodded, and said as I walked, "Yezi, let's talk about it first, this time you are not allowed to rush to eat me." ”
"Uh-huh...... According to your ......"
Liu Rumei and I left, and I heard Shi Xiaohu behind me ask Qian Sen: "Money is less, who is that kid?" ”
"Which one?" Qian Sen continued: "That's Miss Liu's boyfriend, why did he offend you less?" ”
