Chapter Eighty-Six: The Delicious Taste of the World
I casually flipped through the documents on the table, all of which were contracts sent by some companies, asking me to design with Lin Yuan by name.
"Here are some invitations from other design companies, who want to invite you or Mr. Lin to give lectures in the past, or to do some training for their employees." Seeing my movements, Manager Bai explained.
I took a deep breath and knew that things at work were still very important.
Just casually flipping through those documents, there are many larger existences than Lu Yan's company, although it is a little inconvenient to cooperate in this city.
But after all, this is also part of the company's transformation, which means that I don't have to rely on Lu Yan at all now.
I thought for a moment.
"How's the cooperation with Lu's Group?"
Maybe he didn't expect me to ask this question, Manager Bai was stunned for a while, "It seems that there are some problems, and Director Lu Yan came to discuss with us in person just now." "
Seeing Manager Bai's somewhat happy expression, I put the documents back on the table.
"Let's dissolve the cooperation with the Lu Group." I said this lightly.
"What?" Manager Bai looked at me with wide eyes, "But we are working together very tacitly now, and ......"
I knew what Manager Bai wanted to say, but I just shook my head.
"What do you think of these?" I asked, glancing down at the papers on the desk.
Manager Bai groaned, as if he had been prepared for a long time.
"We can have a choice to cooperate, after all, the signboard has been played now."
I nodded with my eyes closed.
"As for the training you and Mr. Lin, in fact, I think if you have time, it's okay to go there." Manager Bai coughed, knowing that I was giving her a chance.
"Aren't these companies now, especially our industry, actually fighting to the end to be famous?" Manager Bai paused, "I know that you have studied abroad before, and Mr. Lin has also won too many awards in some foreign competitions, which is a very good gimmick." "
I seemed to see the light in Manager Bai's eyes.
Seeing that I was looking at her, Manager Bai laughed a little embarrassedly. "I didn't mean that, the work of the two of you is already very well formed, and I think this is a great opportunity."
I thought Manager Bai's words were also very reasonable, and nodded.
"Okay, you go out first, and I'll discuss these things with Mr. Lin." I picked up the coffee I had prepared earlier and took a sip gently, seeing that Manager Bai didn't have any intention of going out, "Is there anything else?" "
"What you said just now about terminating the contract with the Lu Group is a joke, right?"
"Don't ask me a second time about the decision you've already made," I began to get a little impatient, "I know that the liquidated damages you're talking about are also a lot of money, so be it." "
I tapped twice on my desk with a pen and made my final decision.
"The part of the liquidated damages goes from my private account, which is not a mistake on the part of the employees, so I must bear the loss." With that, I took a deep breath and stood up.
Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows is still so exciting, but the scene just now has left a trace in my heart that will never be erased.
Disappointment, this feeling is even greater than anger.
I don't know when Manager Bai went out, but when I came back to my senses again, there was still a knock on the door.
"Enter." I was a little tired and half lying in my chair.
"Mr. Shen, just now I went to communicate with the Lu family for convenience, but they got the above meaning, saying that this cooperation cannot be terminated for the time being."
My face sank. "What if I say I have to?"
Yu Guang saw that the car outside was still parked there, and I knew that it was Lu Yan's car.
"Do whatever it takes to ruin us."
I nodded to show that I understood, "You go out first." "
Since the contract has not been terminated, then I will no longer force it, but try to avoid any contact with the people of the Lu Group.
I glanced at the calendar, and the final results of the design contest were coming out tomorrow.
Now Lin Yuan and I are already very high in the rankings. If there are no big surprises today, at least a top three result will be achieved.
After I got off work that day, Qiao Nancheng was still waiting for me downstairs.
"Tomorrow the results will come out, the crisis will be lifted, and your task will be completed." I looked at him with a smile and said this.
Qiao Nancheng opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but finally sighed.
"What, you're not happy?" I raised my eyebrows, "Let's go, sister, I'm in a treat today, you can choose whatever you want to eat." "
The days have been very calm for a few days, and I am in a very happy mood now, so I patted Qiao Nancheng on the shoulder, looking like a good brother.
Originally, I had already booked the most luxurious restaurant in the city, because this restaurant is on the top floor of the tallest building in the city center, the view is very open, and the grade is also very high, so I need to book two days in advance.
When I was with Lu Yan before, I often coquettishly told him that I wanted to come here for dinner, but in fact, I just wanted to go out with the person I loved.
Every time Lu Yan has a straight face, he always has countless reasons to reject me, but this time he can't refuse me anymore, because I will definitely not give him any more chance to hurt me, never.
I looked at Qiao Nancheng's gentle smile, and the smile on the corner of my mouth became even brighter, this is the person I am looking for who can last a lifetime.
I don't know what's going on, but now I suddenly have an impulse, a voice shouting in my heart, let's be together, it's him.
But soon, reason pulled me back to reality.
If you are together like this, it is not only irresponsible to yourself, but also disrespectful to Qiao Nancheng, I can't do that, another voice shouted in my heart.
"Otherwise, let's change places." The car stopped downstairs in the restaurant, and Qiao Nancheng seemed to see my intentions, and he paused to say this.
I was stunned, "Change places?" But I've already booked it. "
Qiao Nancheng shook his head. "Let's go, this is where you invited me, and now I invite you."
As he spoke, he restarted the car, ignoring my objections.
"Where are you going?" Looking at the direction of the car, it was clear that it was the most chaotic urban village in the city, and I really couldn't think of anything delicious there.
Qiao Nancheng smiled mysteriously, "When I was young, I was in the military compound, and I often went to that house to eat, let's go and see if there is anything else." "
Seeing him like this, I won't refute it anymore, anyway, in this city, no matter where I spend it, I should be able to afford it.
"That's it?" I was stunned, looking at the small shop of less than 20 square meters in front of me, a signboard seemed to have been hung for a long time, the color was a little different, and the dim light in the store told its history.
I wore high heels and carefully followed Qiao Nancheng, and almost all marks appeared on the ground.
Qiao Nancheng nodded as a matter of course. "Haven't you tried it yet?"
I was speechless for a moment.
As soon as I was born, my father had already made the family business the leading boss in the city, and he was a man who valued his family very much, not to mention that I was held in the palm of my hand since I was a child, as a pearl in my palm.
There is a special cook in the house, and even the lunch I eat at school is made by a special person.
Because I went to an aristocratic school, and my classmates came from families that were either rich or noble, naturally no one knew about this.
I looked at the shop in front of me in amazement, unaware that there was such a thing in the world.
In an instant, I understood what the women I met in prison were talking about the outside world. At the time, I didn't understand it, but when I saw this small shop, I suddenly realized that maybe what they said was true.
"Come on, give it a try, I'm sure you'll love it here." Qiao Nancheng took my hand very naturally and pressed me against the bench.
The corners of my mouth barely pulled out a smile, this Qiao Nancheng's taste is like this? I almost wanted to retract the thoughts that had just come to my mind.
But when the bowl of Malatang was actually served, the aroma rushed into my nose all of a sudden.
I've been to so many restaurants in the world, but never had a dish with such an aroma.
"How? Taste it. Looking at Qiao Nancheng's eager gaze, I tried to stuff something called Malatang into my mouth. The aroma in my nose and the aroma in my mouth overlapped, and I almost experienced the most wonderful food in the world.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I stuffed all the food on my plate into my mouth in one go.
"You eat slowly, it's not enough, and no one will rob you." Qiao Nancheng looked at me dotingly, and a smile appeared on his originally serious face.
I nodded vaguely, where could I care so much, I just wanted to eat the bowl in front of me as soon as possible.
At this time, we didn't pay attention, a gaze has been following us for a long time.
After eating and drinking, I patted my belly with satisfaction, feeling like a happy little princess now.
Instead of continuing to drive, the two of us walked leisurely down the street.
The two of them chatted with each other, and I seemed to be able to experience the happiness of those ordinary couples.
"That's really nice." A voice rang out in my heart again.
"Hmph, I've been following you for so long, and I've finally given us a chance." I was immersed in my own world when I was suddenly awakened by a strange scream.
I subconsciously turned around, only to find that it was several masked men.
