Chapter 31: Honored Guest
After all, she is a girl who has seen the world, after a short period of panic, Ma Mi controlled her emotions in time, walked out from behind Xia Lu generously, stood in front of Liu Sanshi with her head held high, and took the initiative to stretch out her hand to Liu Sanshi.
"You are Liu Sanshi, you are really handsome enough, let me introduce myself, my name is Ma Mi, and I am the one who yelled at you on the phone in the morning."
As he spoke, he made a grimace at Liu Sanshi.
Liu Sanshi smiled: "Your voice is quite penetrating." β
Mami grimaced again and said, "I apologize to you for my rudeness." β
Liu Sanshi waved his hand generously and said, "There is no need to apologize, you are feeling!" Who hasn't had a temper tantrum? β
Mami blushed and said, "I'm sincere. β
Liu Sanshi smiled and said, "I'm also sincere." β
Ma Mi also smiled: "So, you have forgiven me?" β
Liu Sanshi said: "There is nothing to forgive or not forgive, your character is quite similar to mine, I like it." β
"Really?" Ma Mi's eyes lit up excitedly, not because Liu Sanshi said that her personality was quite similar, but because I liked what Liu Sanshi said.
Xia Lu pouted on the side and said, "Mami, apologize to people as soon as you come up, this is not in line with your character!" β
"Really? Why didn't I think that maybe I didn't have my own character when I saw a handsome guy! Ma Mi looked at Liu Sanshi with confused eyes and said, "In order to get the real forgiveness of the handsome guy, how about I invite you to dinner?" β
Liu Sanshi said: "Rice is a must, and I am indeed a little hungry. But it's not you who invite me, it's me who invites two beauties. I'm a man, how can I let a girl ask for it? β
Ma Mi said: "No, I must invite this meal, on the one hand, I apologize to you, on the other hand, we are the landlord, you are a guest, in the sense of reason, I should be invited." β
Xia Lu pursed her lips again and said, "Oops! Don't be hypocritical for the two of you, isn't it just a meal, who invites you to be different! β
As he spoke, Xia Lu walked to the car parked next to him, opened the door on the co-pilot's side, and made a gesture to Liu Sanshi. Ma Mi dragged Liu Sanshi, opened the back door, pushed Liu Sanshi into the car first, and then sat next to him.
Xia Lu glanced at Ma Mi and walked towards the driver's position stupidly.
Xia Lu seemed to be angry with someone, as soon as she started the car, she stepped on the accelerator to the maximum, and the car ran wildly, and finally stopped at a western restaurant called the Seine near the provincial TV station.
The western restaurant is not large, with an area of only a few hundred square meters, but it vividly expresses the French people's love for art.
The Renaissance-style dΓ©cor, with its heavily carved oak chairs, and the waiters in black gowns, white gloves, and blonde or millet hair on their heads, add the finishing touch, giving you the feeling of truly dining on the banks of the Seine.
The restaurant was almost full of guests, and when Xia Lu came in, the Chinese manager of the restaurant hurriedly ran over to greet her. Said respectfully: "Miss Xia, I have reserved table No. 8 by the window on the second floor for you. β
Xia Lu and Liu Sanshi Mami went up to the second floor together and sat down by the window.
As soon as she sat down, a blonde waiter came over, bent down to look at Xia Lu, and greeted her politely in broken Chinese: "Miss Xia, is it still the same?" β
Xia Lu waved her hand at him and said, "No, today is the most distinguished guest, let's order food." β
"Good!" The waiter agreed, then took out a menu made of a small sheepskin, turned to Liu Sanshi and Ma Mi, and blinked at Liu Sanshi and Ma Mi, as if to judge which of the two people Xia Lu said about the distinguished guest.
According to the rules, it is up to the guests to order.
After pondering for a long time, the waiter couldn't guess who was the most distinguished guest, in his eyes, Liu Sanshi was suave and extraordinary; Ma Mi is elegant and quiet, with outstanding temperament, and is a very noble person. He didn't know who to greet first.
After thinking for a while, the waiter finally handed the menu to Mami, the lady is first, it should be right to let Mami order.
Ma Mi didn't answer, but set her eyes on Liu Sanshi and said, "Give us the boss and let him do some." β
Ma Mi courtesy Liu Sanshi is deliberately leaving a good impression on him, and women are courteous to men to save face for him and show their virtue. What's more, Ma Mi called Liu Sanshi his boss, which meant to praise him.
The waiter lowered his head and turned to Liu Sanshi.
At this moment, a well-dressed young man walked towards them, wearing a pure Italian handmade custom suit, wearing Iron Shitoni shoes on his feet, and greeted the two ladies with a smile:
"Lulu, Miss Ma, what a coincidence!"
This greeting immediately showed the intimacy of the man's relationship with these two girls, and Liu Sanshi judged that he was either Xia Lu's relative or her suitor.
Xia Lu kept a straight face and didn't say anything, Ma Mi beckoned to the young man and said, "It's quite a coincidence, Yuan Qiu, Xia Lu and I can bump into you every time we go out to eat, isn't this a bit too coincidental!" β
Yuan Qiu smiled proudly, sat down on his own, and said, "Since everyone is not an outsider, let's sit down and eat together." β
Liu Sanshi looked at Yuan Qiu inexplicably, and said in his heart: This guy doesn't treat himself as an outsider.
Yuan Qiu also looked at Liu Sanshi and asked, "Who is this gentleman?" β
Liu Sanshi stood up, stretched out his hand to Yuan Qiu, and introduced himself: "My name is Liu Sanshi, Liu Adou's Liu, one-two-three, three-stone, and stone-of-stone." β
Xia Lu pointed at Liu Sanshi, looked at Yuan Qiu with your dead eyes, and shouted, "He's my boyfriend." β
Yuan Qiu's expression was as calm as water, Xia Lu introduced other men like this in front of him, it was not once or twice, he had long been used to it. He looked at Liu Sanshi's outstretched hand, stretched out his right hand as well, and then made a very embarrassed look, and stuffed a pocket watch in his hand into his left hand.
It was a Breguet No.5, and Liu Sanshi knew that this pocket watch was made by Abraham Louis Breguet, the founder of Breguet, for the Count of St. Miat, and it was made in 1787 and was not completed until 1794, so this watch is also called 1794.
In 2005, after months of data analysis and another year of meticulous production, the masters of the Breguet Manufacture succeeded in reproducing the Breguet No.5.
There were five copies of this pocket watch, which was sold for $3 million after its launch, four of which were bought by the British royal family, and the other, which once appeared in the largest city in the East, was purchased for $1.5 million at the time, and was later bought by a wealthy man who did not want to be named.
What Yuan Qiu was holding in his hand was this watch.
