Chapter 170: Another President
In fact, the moment this question was asked, Xiao Boming already had his own guess in his heart, but he was not sure.
As soon as he heard this, the smile on Tong Lu's face was even stronger, and her bright eyebrows and eyes were still a little cunning, just like a child who couldn't hide the slightest secret in front of his companions.
Closing the menu, Tong Lu knocked on the stone table with one hand, "Can't you guess?" ”
One sentence confirmed Xiao Boming's thoughts, and nodded clearly, "You are a good star, how did you come up with a side hustle?" ”
Picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, moistening her dry lips and teeth, Tong Lu spoke, "Isn't this a look, there are too many variables in the entertainment industry, and it is not as good as a store, and this place is not small." ”
Tong Lu didn't intend to hide it from Xiao Boming, but she didn't say it too clearly.
Xiao Boming has been in the financial circle for so many years, and he can obviously understand the stakes.
This store is so elegant and private, naturally it is not for ordinary people, Tong Lu's ideal customers are probably those political officials and wealthy celebrities.
From the moment he entered the door, Xiao Boming found that the position of each private room was very cleverly set, staggered from each other, and could not see each other, just forming a closed space, and he was not afraid of being heard when talking about some private things.
Even if you fancy this, the business of this restaurant will be endless.
However, for Tong Lu, after a long time, the channel to get information will naturally be opened, although he disdains to eavesdrop on these dramas, but it is also a good choice to have a good relationship with most people.
"Tong Tong," with a slurp, Xiao Boming looked at Tong Lu with a little more banter in his eyes, "I really can't see it, you still have this brain." ”
Tong Lu looked arrogant, turned her head and glanced at it, "Now that you know, let's order." ”
As he spoke, he threw the menu in front of Xiao Boming.
Before the menu opened, Tong Lu specially found a designer to design, unlike this courtyard, with a strong historical atmosphere, but the modern elements are more obvious, cleverly integrated with some elegant design, will not look out of place.
After putting the menu in his hand and going back and forth several times, Xiao Boming ordered with satisfaction.
It can be seen that Tong Lu is really interested in this small restaurant, even the chef is specially hired, and the taste is not inferior to that in a five-star hotel.
After drinking and eating, the sun was already in the middle, Tong Lu wiped her mouth, raised her hand and glanced at the watch on her wrist, "Will you go back by yourself later, or will I send you." ”
Xiao Boming, who was resting, was stunned by this question, and looked at Tong Lu with clear eyes without blinking, "I just had a full meal and you gave an order to expel guests, so you don't want to see me." ”
Standing up, he waved into the distance, and the waiter brought the tea that had already been prepared.
"I made an appointment in the afternoon, but I can't be late." The thought of having to greet those rich wives at night made Tong Lu feel a headache.
She has never interfered in Gu Chuan's business, nor does she understand it, and she has to carefully distinguish each sentence of those words that are hidden in the open and in secret, for fear that she will accidentally fall into the trap and bring unnecessary trouble to Gu Chuan.
Pinched her eyebrows irritably, Tong Lu sighed.
"Who did you make an appointment with?" Xiao Boming took his coat and put it on his arm and asked casually.
"The wife of the Wang Group." Walking out side by side, each private room has its own lane, so you don't have to worry about anyone seeing it.
This answer made Xiao Boming a little surprised, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at Tong Lu suspiciously, "How did you meet her, Gu Chuan asked you to go?" ”
has known Tong Lu for so many years, Xiao Boming knows best how much she hates flattery in the mall, and his brows are furrowed at the moment.
"He asked you to do this?" There was a deep displeasure in his tone, he had always held it in the palm of his hand, and he couldn't bear her to show half of his sorrow, but he did it for this man.
At one point, there was a slight pain in my heart, but more of it was really bitter.
Xiao Boming's eyes were light, and he paused with the footsteps behind Tong Lu's side, "Tong Tong, you ......"
As if he didn't know how to speak, Xiao Boming opened his mouth, but in the end he closed helplessly.
What can he say, and what qualifications does he have to say......
From beginning to end, he was just an outsider in this relationship.
"Where do you think of it?" As if sensing something, Tong Lu turned around.
The cold and indifferent eyes of the past two generations were full of bright smiles at the moment, and looking at it from a distance not far away, Xiao Boming seemed to have returned to the time when he first saw her.
"How could he force me, it's just that I can't shirk it now." Tong Lu spread her hands, looking helpless.
Looking at Xiao Boming's gaze, seeing that he still didn't have any relaxed look, he explained with a smile, "Didn't I just move into the Gu family's old mansion, these face-saving things always have to be done." ”
"Don't worry, it's not that you don't know me, I'm not the kind of person who would wronged myself." Blinking, Tong Lu walked over quickly and patted Xiao Boming on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I can handle it." ”
Hearing Tong Lu say this, Xiao Boming was relieved.
moved his arm, shook off the hand on his shoulder like Tong Lu's brother, and glared at him with disgust, "Take it away and let others see it, your image of a cold girl will be shattered immediately." ”
"Whatever." Tong Lu looked up at the sky, "There are no rules, the sky is bluer than before." ”
The two chatted for a few more words, and Xiao Boming took a taxi by himself.
Tong Lu stood on the side of the road, invisibly hitting her face, hiding all her expressions in the dark, making it impossible to see clearly.
A breeze in the distance seemed to be mixed with a sigh.
After a long stay there, the car in front of him hurried by, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then fell silent after a moment.
Seeing Xiao Boming again, Tong Lu's heart welled up with some indescribable feelings.
The words he said when he left seemed to be still in his heart, and the second he turned to leave, Tong Lu thought that there was no possibility for the two of them to intersect in the future, and she might ...... Really going to lose this friend.
Even when I think about it now, I feel faintly lost.
But today, he stood in front of him, with a smile on his eyebrows, filling all the holes in his heart.
After a few months, we met again, without the embarrassment I had imagined, only a sense of joy from my heart.
Tong Lu felt an indescribable happiness, as if she had recovered a lost treasure.
"Boss, tonight's menu is arranged, do you think there's anything else you need?" A voice came from the side, interrupting Tong Lu's distraction.
After taking it and looking at it casually, Tong Lu lost interest, "You look at it, it's not an important person." ”
After speaking, without waiting for the butler to answer, he drove away.
Before going to the banquet, she had to rush back to the depressed house and change into the most orthodox evening dress.
Tong Lu can be embarrassed, but the people of the Gu family can't lose the rules in front of others.
This is the old man's original words, Tong Lu has to recite it silently in his heart dozens of times every day.
"I'm back, Mrs. Wang must be entertained well in the evening." As soon as Tong Lu entered the door, he saw the old man sitting in front of the sofa with a cane, and an interview with a financial channel was being broadcast on TV, a program that Gu Chuan participated in a long time ago.
"Grandpa is good, big brother is good." Tong Lu lowered her head, her whole body was tense, for fear that she would do something wrong and break the old man's rules, "It's been arranged, I'll go over later." ”
"Grandpa, don't worry, my brother and sister will definitely be able to do it." Gu Changkong turned his head and looked at Tong Lu with a smile.
Gu Changkong seemed to be very busy, and like Gu Chuan, he almost didn't see anyone all day. Since coming to the Gu family, Tong Lu has only seen him once on the first day.
The impression of him seems to be still stuck in that moment of good feelings.
"Thank you, big brother." Tong Lu smiled.
"As long as you know it in your heart, you can't lose face if you have to lose face." The crutches slammed heavily on the floor, and the old man's old and majestic voice interrupted their gaze.
Tong Lu nodded, "Then I'll go up first." ”
After speaking, he walked quickly upstairs.
Today, the old man and Gu Changkong are at home, and there is no room for Gu Xia to be arrogant, so he stays outside all day and does not see anyone, and naturally he has no time to find trouble, and Tong Lu is also happy to be clean.
According to the housekeeper's instructions, Tong Lu deliberately chose a dark dress, which looked more stable and elegant.
"Madam, I'll send you a car."
When he went downstairs, the old man had already returned to the room, and Gu Changkong seemed to have entered the study, only the housekeeper stood alone at the door, as if he was really waiting for her.
Tong Lu didn't talk, but looked down at the steps under her feet carefully, holding the hem of her skirt in one hand and holding the railing with the other, walking very slowly.
It wasn't until she stood still downstairs that Shi Shiran raised her head, her indifferent gaze fell on the housekeeper, and she spoke with a bit of the majesty of the hostess, "Go ahead." ”
After getting the order, the housekeeper dared to move, but the speed was also very fast, and the car had stopped smoothly in front of the gate when Tong Lu walked out of the door.
The Gu family is a big family, with many cars and drivers.
In addition to the exclusive driver of the old man Gu Chuan, a few will be hired at home.
Tong Lu had just moved over, so naturally it was impossible to have an exclusive driver, so the housekeeper had to choose one from the spare one.
"Ma'am, please get in the car." Although he looked down on Tong Lu in his heart, the housekeeper's professionalism still made him respectfully open the car door and cover the roof for her.
"Okay."
Narrowing his eyes, Tong Lu couldn't see any emotion on his face.
Although he was a temporary driver, the car came smoothly, which made Tong Lu feel drowsy along the way.
The Gu family's old house is a little far away from Tong Lu's restaurant, and now is the most traffic jam, although she set off two hours early, but the time was just right when she arrived.
After straightening out the somewhat wrinkled skirt, Tong Lu got out of the car and was greeted by the housekeeper who had been waiting for the logistics for a long time.
