35. Overwhelmed
In May, the temperature difference between day and night in Shenyang City is relatively large, and Ning Ning is either seeing customers or soaking on the construction site all day. The original snow-white shirt was already full of stains left on the construction site.
At the moment, she was carrying a backpack, a heavy toolbox in her hand, and a peaked cap, which looked particularly inappropriate to stand in a stylish Western restaurant.
Duhav is a recent Western restaurant with a high reputation and popularity in Shenyang City, although it has not been open for a long time and the price is ridiculously expensive, it is still an Internet celebrity store that many people can't make an appointment.
And the reason why this store can suddenly become so popular is largely due to the trendy and fashionable decoration of the restaurant, many girls like to take pictures and post a circle of friends to show off when they come here to eat.
But no one knew that the design of this store was written by Ning Ning.
"Designer Ning, I didn't expect you to come in person." Duharf's manager Zhang contacted Ning Ning because of a problem with the wall of the restaurant, thinking that she would send the following staff to take a look casually, but she was surprised to be there in person.
No one expected Duhav's success, the restaurant owner would have asked Ning Ning to design nothing else, just because she was cheap enough, but he didn't expect the result to be so amazing.
"Manager Zhang is polite, if there is a problem, I'll go with you to take a look." She dragged an engineering team around to catch up with the work, and she was not a big boss, so she had to do a lot of things herself.
"Designer Ning, you see, the original design of the light strip on this wall is not lit now, and it is about to be summer, and the welcome area of our restaurant still wants to be changed slightly, do you have any good suggestions?" Since the decoration of the restaurant has become a selling point, the owner certainly pays extra attention to every detail.
Ning Ning took a serious look at the wall and the light strip line, and then didn't mind lying on the ground directly at the front door of the restaurant where people were coming and going, and whether the ground was clean or not, reaching behind the wall to look for possible problems.
"The part of the light strip hidden inside is broken, small problem, I'll ask the master to come over tomorrow to help you replace a new light strip." Standing up from the ground again, her hands were completely dirty, she clapped her hands casually, and then found that there was a light bulb on the bar in the welcome area that was not lit, and she opened the toolbox and took out a spare bulb and screwdriver and skillfully replaced it.
"Designer Ning can do these things?" Manager Zhang thought that the designers were all sitting in the office and scribbling, and it was hard to imagine that a girl could change the light bulb neatly while carrying a toolbox.
"I don't know anything else, it's okay to change the light bulb." Ning Ning turned around and turned back to chat with Manager Zhang while moving in her hand, and at this time, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a group of people wearing suits and leather shoes walked into the restaurant.
"Lawyer Lu, it's rare for you to have dinner with us, you must come to this store to try it."
"yes, yes, it's hard to book a seat at this store, and we booked it two weeks in advance."
"Senior, this store is beautiful, isn't it?"
The man who was clustered in the center looked a little indifferent, with his hands in his trouser legs and listening to the flattery of the people around him.
It wasn't until I saw Ning Ning who was climbing on the bar to change the light bulb that it was a little different.
Ning Ning paused for a second and continued her work, she didn't come forward to greet Lu Li, perhaps because she realized how huge the difference between them was up close.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the private room you booked is still being sorted out, please wait two minutes and we will have a waiter take you there."
Ning Ning finished changing the light bulb and was about to pack up her things and leave, but when she squatted on the ground to sort out the toolbox, she found that a screwdriver had rolled at the feet of a certain lady who was with Lu Li.
"Excuse me, Miss, please lift your foot, you stepped on my screwdriver." The voice was not too light, but maybe the woman in front of her was in a hurry and Lu Litao was almost unresponsive, and she didn't care about what Ning Ning said.
"Excuse me, Miss! You've stepped on my screwdriver! This time her voice was a little higher, and that's when the other party noticed her.
"What's so great about a screwdriver." Raising her feet, waiting for Ning Ning to get the screwdriver, before she had time to stop it, she deliberately stepped on the back of her hand with her 7-centimeter high heels.
"Ah...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, do you want it? The woman's deliberately exaggerated apology drew laughter from a group of people around her.
Embarrassment is certain, Ning Ning stood up from the ground with a dirty face, and only then did a group of people see her clearly.
Ning Ning is very tall, her height of 172 has almost overwhelmed all the women on the other side, and at the same time, she is still in good shape, even a dirty white T with jeans will show her perfect curves; The most important thing is that she is still very beautiful, beautiful and flamboyant, and beautiful makes many men present gasp.
"Jimmychoo's heels are actually very difficult to wear, and girls with fat feet are not suitable, especially those with thin heels." Ning Ning smiled politely at everyone after speaking, deliberately avoiding Lu Li's gaze.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became a little weird, originally everyone didn't notice the characteristics of this woman's fat feet, but when Ning Ning said this, everyone's eyes inadvertently swept to her feet, making the other party's originally arrogant face deformed.
There are all kinds of people in this world, and occasionally they have to be wronged for work, but it doesn't mean that everyone can step on her unscrupulously.
Even if she doesn't have the glamorous clothes they wear, even if they are successful people in the eyes of most people, so what?
Ning Ning said a brief hello to the restaurant staff, picked up her toolbox and left the restaurant.
There is a kind of woman's pride that is bluffing, but there is a kind of woman who exudes in her bones.
Lu Li looked at her back and frowned slightly, since the reunion, this woman has always made him feel strange, and even the strangeness makes him feel very unhappy, and the reason? I'm afraid I can't tell myself.
Zhongke Law Firm is the largest law firm in China, although Lu Li came as a shareholder this time, he has fought lawsuits for many Wall Street bigwigs in the United States in recent years, and he has almost never suffered defeat, and he has long been a legend.
For this kind of workplace dinner, Lu Li was not very interested, compared to the various toasts of other people present, he had been recalling the back of Ning Ning's departure before.
It's not surprising that this bad girl is familiar with various brands, because in the past, she was a daughter who was a luxury lady from head to toe.
After eating a meal, Lu Li didn't eat much except for a few glasses of red wine, and the others were quite interested in saying that they wanted to continue Lu Li's refusal.
A person's ears are finally much clearer, Lu Li can't drive because of the relationship between drinking, he is not in a hurry to leave and go back, just casually walk around to have a look.
When passing by the whole family, when I saw Ning Ning, who was still wearing that dirty white T-shirt and holding a bowl of cups facing the computer, even Lu Li, who didn't believe in fate, had to sigh, it was really a fateful encounter.
At this time, the man showed the first heartfelt smile since today, took a big step across the street, pushed open the door of the family convenience store, ordered a cup of coffee and sat next to Ning Ning.
Ning Ning's computer was full of some CAD construction drawings that he couldn't understand, and he put down the instant noodles after taking a bite, and was engrossed in drawing drawings.
Lu Li glanced at her bowl of cup noodles that were almost soaked, is this her dinner? It wasn't even six o'clock when I left the restaurant, and now it's nine o'clock.
But the woman next to him didn't realize his existence from beginning to end, and did her own thing.
I don't remember seeing her so serious, she always liked to revolve around him at that time, and he laughed at her more than once.
[Miss, I'm different from you, don't bother me, okay! ] 】
[I'm different from you, you're a straw bale, and your family raises you, I can't! 】
When falling in love, Ning Ning was like every ordinary girl, she wanted someone to accompany her, although they even had a feeling of helplessness when they fell in love, and at that time he did not have so much time to accompany her to do those time-wasting so-called romantic things.
After a long time, Ning Ning seemed to be staring at the computer for too long, her eyes were a little sour, she stopped what she was doing a little, and took out a small bottle of eye drops from her bag, although she also knew that it was not a good thing to use more eye drops, but she was also used to it.
"I'll help you."
"Huh?" A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and Ning Ning found Lu Li sitting beside her.
"Aren't you going to get eye drops?" Then she grabbed Ning Ning with one hand, let her neck rest on his hand, and carefully dripped eye drops with the other hand.
"When did you come? I didn't even notice. ”
"Well, I've finished drinking all the coffee, and you didn't notice it, I was just going to buy another one." There was a bit of ridicule in his words, which seemed to reveal his rare mood.
"It's not good to drink so much coffee at night."
After dropping the eye drops, Ning Ning closed her eyes slightly and opened her eyes when she felt a little more comfortable, and a few drops of the eye drops flowed down her eye sockets.
knew that it wasn't her tears, but when she opened her big watery eyes, Lu Lijue's heart was throbbed at that moment. Involuntarily reached out and gently wiped away her tears.
"You, no, I'll do it myself." Ning Ning was very uncomfortable with him, and she was not used to sudden intimacy, so she appropriately distanced herself from him and wiped away the extra tears casually.
Ning Ning's panic was seen by Lu Li, but at this moment he had no way to explain his behavior, he just obeyed his own wishes...... At that moment, he just wanted to do it.
"Ning Ning, don't cry."
“……”
If he had the same attitude as he had six years ago, maybe Ning Ning would feel a little better, and he wouldn't be like he is now-at a loss!
