Chapter Ninety-Eight: Old Acquaintances
When I met Professor Tom at the exit of the plane, my mood suddenly improved.
"Hi," Tom greeted me with a smile, "long time no see." He spoke awkward Chinese, which made me laugh.
This was the case when I was abroad, whenever I was unhappy, Tom would deliberately find some domestic jokes and tell them to me in unskilled Chinese until I laughed.
"How's it going, how are you doing?" He gave me a big hug.
I nodded, although it was said that this was a common etiquette abroad, but I didn't know how, I still felt a little uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because I'm in the country, I'm making excuses for myself.
Lin Yuan next to him also walked over with a smile, "Hello." "
"Hello, I've heard of your fame for a long time, I didn't expect that I am much more beautiful than in the photo, and I am still a beautiful designer, it is really my honor." Professor Tom's usual style is to have a sweet mouth, just a few words, Lin Yuan let go of it, and patted his chest and said that he wanted her to come to treat her tonight.
I knocked on Lin Yuan's head, "You little girl, why didn't you say to invite me before." "
"It's not about seeing a handsome guy." Lin Yuan winked at me and whispered, "Don't say it, this taste is really good." "
"you, don't talk nonsense, this is my teacher."
"What's wrong with the teacher, the teacher is mature and charming? Besides, he has so many students, do you want to inspect them one by one? "
Although Tom didn't understand what we were talking about, he understood the general meaning, and he laughed when he reacted.
"You don't know how fascinating Lady Jennifer is when she is abroad, and so many boys want to be with her, but alas," he said, sighing exaggeratedly.
All of a sudden, my face turned red. "Don't talk nonsense, what's going on."
"How long are you going to be here?" I glanced in the rearview mirror at Professor Tom sitting in the back and saw that he was looking behind him with a curious look on his face.
"I told you in an email before, let's investigate a project first, about ten days." I nodded, "It just so happens that there is a cocktail party these days, that is, a gathering of people at the business venue, and we can go together to inspect and investigate." ”
Professor Tom seemed very pleased with the arrangement, and he looked at me with a smile, "Okay, let's do what you say." ”
In the past few days, I put everything off and had a good time with Tom for a few days.
"What is this?" Today's project is mountaineering, but there are still many differences between the domestic peaks and the foreign ones, and Tom was very surprised when he saw it, "Come, help me take a picture." ”
I nodded and took the camera from his hand.
"What's wrong with you? Ruolin? "He already knew my name in the past few days, and he started calling me that.
I shook my head, "Stand there and don't move." ”
I took a lot of pictures in a row, and Professor Tom was very satisfied.
"I'm going to take them back and show them all." He nodded and flipped through the pictures in his camera.
"What's wrong with you, Ruolin?" Sensing that I was not in a state, Tom looked behind him in great surprise, "What's here, is it what you often say......"
I took Tom to my company these days, and he listened to the chats of his colleagues, learned that there are many strange legends in the country, and he was very interested in them.
I laughed.
"How come, those are legends, don't take them seriously." As he spoke, he laughed, "It's okay, I just thought of when I was abroad before, you were very good to me, and I felt something." I shook my head, how could I admit that I had seen Lu Yan just now.
Just seeing Lu Yan wouldn't have such a big reaction, after all, now that spring is just right, everyone chooses to come out.
But I seemed to see another girl standing next to him, "This is the new love?" ”
Thinking that a few days ago, he went to the company to wait for me and say what Professor Tom said, and in a blink of an eye, he had a new love.
"That's what men are, that's how they are." The corners of my mouth went up, and I did one thing in front of me and one behind my back, and this was not the first time I knew about it, and I was sad that I would still listen to him at this time.
After a tiring day, Tom returned to the hotel after a brief lunch.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon."
"Wait a minute," Tom hesitated, "are you okay tomorrow morning?" ”
I was stunned, "No, what's wrong?" ”
Tom shook his head, "Why don't you go to the pedestrian street, I heard that there are a lot of special snacks?" ”
I nodded suddenly, I have been going to that kind of international chain place for so long, I guess he was curious to see those things in the scenic spot today.
"Okay, that's it."
Professor Tom also invited me to sit down and say that we could have a late night snack together in the evening, but I directly refused.
"If you're hungry, the hotel will provide it, it's too late today, I'll go home first."
The next morning, I came to the door of the hotel, and who knew that Professor Tom had changed into a set of special clothes that he bought in the scenic area yesterday.
I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help laughing directly.
"What, there's a problem?" Tom looked at his clothes suspiciously, "Isn't it pretty?" ”
"I watch those TV shows wear it like this." I didn't expect Tom to watch those costume dramas, and it took a long time to explain that these were people's clothes before, but now no one on the street will wear these.
An hour passed, and Tom finally nodded reluctantly and agreed to change into the outfit.
"Isn't that girl?" I saw a back and was stunned.
Tom saw, "Isn't it?" He also looked over, "There's nothing strange about it, it's not as beautiful as you." ”
I shook my head, didn't that girl see Lu Yan with her yesterday, could it be that I was dazzled?
After going home yesterday, I also called Manager Bai to ask her, and she said that Mr. Lu was indeed not in the company yesterday, saying that he had gone out to discuss business.
After reacting, I hurriedly shook my head, what am I thinking, I always think about these things, what is there to do with that girl, does it have anything to do with me?
At six o'clock in the evening, we took the company's special Bentley car to the banquet place, which is a farmhouse.
It is said that it is a farmhouse, but it is not open to the public at all, and some individual visitors who come are not accepted, so you must have an acquaintance to bring it in, or if you are just an ordinary member, you can only go in alone.
This is one of the best kept secrets of the design world and business.
At the beginning, we were also not qualified, it was Lin Yuan who became famous internationally and obtained the qualification of ordinary membership, and then we won the top few places in that wedding dress design competition, so we had the qualification of intermediate membership.
Although the level is not enough, I can bring Professor Tom in with Lin Yuan.
"Well, I have it." Glancing at the membership card I had pulled out, Professor Tom rummaged through his wallet.
After a while, I found a black card, "Is this it?" ”
I was curious, so I took it and played with it carefully.
Mine is only golden, only an intermediate member, and the black one I saw one from Lu Yan before, and that's it.
I glanced at the name on it, "yes, this is it." "But I began to sigh in my heart, worthy of being my professor, just a casual card is like this.
As if seeing the doubts in my heart, he rummaged through the collar of his wallet again, and then took out about a dozen of them, "These are all invitation cards from your country, but I don't have time for this." As he spoke, he pulled out a gilded business card.
"You just need to take out this business card of mine, it will still be useful at some times." Looking at Tom's unfazed appearance, I was secretly shocked.
After thinking about it, I put away my business card, although my business is doing well now, but if I really encounter any small situation, it will be miserable at that time.
"Mr. Shen, I really didn't expect to see you here." As soon as we entered the venue, a familiar male voice sounded behind me, and when I turned around, I saw the familiar face of Mr. Song.
"You, too?" Compared with Mr. Song's smiling face, my smile was very unnatural.
Tom silently took my hand, and I knew he was telling me that I wasn't alone at this time.
"Hello, I'm Tom." He held out his hand politely, "I don't know what to call Mr. ”
Mr. Song still had a sincere smile on his face, "Song Bing, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
I watched the two of them greeting each other, and the picture of the bathroom that day unconsciously appeared in my heart.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much, he's so popular, he must not be that kind of person." I consoled myself with this.
"Hi, Yan." I saw Tom suddenly get excited, and after saying goodbye to Mr. Song politely, he walked over excitedly, "Long time no see." ”
I was stunned and rubbed my eyes vigorously, unable to believe that what I was seeing could be real.
Isn't this Lu Yan? When did they meet.
"What's wrong?" I felt that someone else patted me on the shoulder, and when I looked back, it was Shen Yu.
"You," I was about to say something, but Shen Yu shook his head, "Don't talk about the previous things anymore, I know you didn't mean to." Saying that, his eyes followed my gaze, "It's normal, you know, Lu Yan also studied abroad before, this is your teacher, right?" ”
I nodded, but I couldn't believe they had known each other.
"Come, Ruolin, let me introduce you, this is my former college classmate, Lu Yan." Tom beckoned me to the side, and Shen Yu walked over with me.
The two looked at each other awkwardly when they saw each other.
"What, you knew each other before?" Tom looked curiously at what we were, his tone full of surprise.
