Chapter 234: This Man Is Kind of Interesting
On Friday, Xiaowan called me and said that we would go out for dinner together in the evening, and it happened that Peter was going back to Canada tomorrow to report on his work, which was regarded as a send-off.
I didn't want to participate in her work reception, but Xiaowan said, "Sister, it's just a light meal among friends!" I know you don't like socializing, isn't the point that Peter will go back to Canada tomorrow to report to work? β
"And then?" I asked lightly and deliberately, now the little Wan is very naughty.
"It's not good for me to go out with him alone, and it's not appropriate to take Tingxuan there, so you can come! It just so happens that Peter really asked you several times. We also have a beginning and an end to what we do, we come back together when we come, and we can't be too cold when we leave! β
As soon as I heard Xiaowan say this, I also felt that it was necessary, so let's go! Anyway, there is nothing to do after work, Qin Haonan has already gone back to the capital, and Xiao Tianyu has socialized a lot with the bank because of the project.
I agreed to Lin Xiaowan.
After work, I went straight to the restaurant that Xiao Wan had booked, and only then did I know that fortunately, Xiao Wan also invited two other senior executives of the Lin project to accompany her, one of whom was my father's right-hand man at the time, and now he is on the team with Uncle Li.
After we said hello, Peter struck up a conversation with me, and of course we had to speak in English.
After all, his Chinese is not good, and I can't make it difficult for me.
This meeting, perhaps because he has been here for almost a month, seems to be much more relaxed than the last time we first met, and there are more problems.
I get the impression that he is very talkative, but his tone is not very pleasant, and he is not very pleasing to me anyway.
He also asked a few questions about my design department, and I answered them one by one.
But it doesn't have much to do with his business.
"Miss Lin, you guys are really hospitable! I'm so happy! China is really a great place! He looked at me and said with great interest.
"That's good, then you can apply for the headquarters when you go back, stay here, and you can stay in China for a long time." I smiled at him.
"Do you like Qingcheng? Been around for so long, have you been going around? I asked him back.
"I like it very much, it feels very kind, maybe it is the care of Miss Lin Xiaowan that I feel like this, I didn't have time to go to too many places, the language is inconvenient, I am really annoyed!" He mentioned it again and again.
"Wait for the next time I come back, I'll take you around!" I casually greeted him.
Xiao Wan was talking to the executive on the other side, and I heard them talking about the Xiang family.
Of course, everyone mentions this matter a lot, and it's not a private matter, I'm afraid everyone in Qingcheng will talk about it after dinner.
I watched Peter look down and drink tea, as if he was a little absent-minded, or he was paying attention to their conversation.
"Peter, how long will it take to go back to Qingcheng!" I asked softly, only to find that he hadn't heard at all.
βpeterοΌβ I screamed again.
"Oh!"
He responded urgently, and this 'oh' was definitely not an English answer.
I'm in a bit of a trance.
He was looking at me, "You try this, this is our Qingcheng specialty!" β
I turned the dish on the table to our eyes, pointed to the dish on the table and said to him.
He nodded immediately, happily reaching out his chopsticks and putting a piece in his mouth.
I'm even more strange, the table is turntable-style, and there is more than one dish in front of us, and I didn't tell him the dish clearly, but he accurately and directly sandwiched the Qingcheng special fish.
I'm a little puzzled, has he eaten this these days?
"Mr. Peter's chopsticks are very good! What do you think? Do you feel good? I asked, looking at him.
"Hey! No way! I'm Chinese, I've been using chopsticks since I was a child, and although I speak Chinese badly, I'm still Chinese! He shrugged and looked at me.
"It tastes really good, it's special!" He praised.
"Have you eaten it before?" I asked in passing.
"No, no, haven't eaten! It's just delicious! β
He kept nodding his head, and seemed to like it.
I'm a little puzzled, I haven't eaten it, how do I know that this is a characteristic of Qingcheng?
I looked at him and felt a little puzzled.
Xiao Wan focused her attention on Peter and chatted with him, "Peter, you must make a detailed cooperation plan when you go back this time, as well as one from your headquarters, and give it to us, this is the most basic requirement of Xiao Lin's international cooperation, I won't say anything else, and then you will draft a letter of intent for cooperation and send it to us!" β
"Okay, Miss Xiaowan!" Peter nodded frequently.
I tried him again while they were chatting, and in the same way, he verified my doubts accurately, this time correctly.
I was a little uneasy, watching him chatting with Lin Xiaowan about the project with great energy, it seemed that he was very confident.
I couldn't help but wonder what kind of collaborator he was.
Xiao Tianyu said, I am checking this company, this person. It seems that I will ask Tang Hao tomorrow.
I ate something silently and deliberately said to the executive across from me, "Have all Lin's customers recovered now?" β
"Yes, Miss, it's all recovered now, it's basically there!" He said to me cautiously.
"That's good, I didn't expect that Xiang Chinese wasted his efforts back then, calculating and calculating, to the point that his life is better than death!" This is also the fate he didn't expect! I said in a dismissive tone.
"Yes, Xiang Chinese is to blame, and it is said that he is of little value!" Said the executive opposite.
"Are you still alive?"
"Alive, and thinking! He just can't say it, let alone move, and his wife serves him every day. It is said that his wife is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the little white face she raised actually got her daughter together, and then ran away with her money, and died halfway through! β
The executive said it as a joke.
I glanced at Peter, and when I saw that he stopped to communicate with Xiaowan, he also diverted his attention! Xiao Wan also turned out to be a topic, "This Xiang Lingxue is also a lot of people looking for her, she should have had this day a long time ago!" β
The executive continued, "Yes, Xiang's Jinwan is said to have been verified, he can't run away, and he will die if he is sent in." β
Xiao Li, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, "Xiang Chinese's wife still has a little white face, I'm afraid you don't know, this kid still has his wife's funds in his hands, and it is said that this kid also wants to run!" Living in a new development zone close to Xixia Pond, Xiang Chinese has been calculating and calculating all his life, and he has not received much benefit from the little white face. β
Xiao Li said the same as a joke, and everyone laughed.
The Peter grinned too.
I'm a little baffled, can he understand?
I suddenly called out to him, "Peter, eat the food!" β
βyesοΌβ
He replied.
We were all chatting, Lin Xiaowan was in charge of him, after all, he was his guest.
When they were happy, they were all chatting, and I got up and went to the bathroom.
I came out of the bathroom, just as Peter came out to go to the bathroom, and we met in the hallway.
He looked at me with a smile, his eyes fixed on me, and he nodded and smiled.
I returned to my seat, but Shaw had already walked out.
These two people didn't come back for a long time, and just when I was wondering, Peter came back first, sat down and talked to Lin Xiaowan casually.
I got up and quietly retreated, and as soon as I went out of the door, I saw Xiao Li walking back, her eyes looked at me strangely, smiled, and whispered to me, "This person is a little interesting!" β
Xiao Li looked at the room and pulled me, "Go in, go back!" β
The two of us walked back to the room laughing.
After three rounds of drinking, I first dispersed, "It's not early, let's get here today!" After all, Peter has to catch a flight back to Canada tomorrow, so he has to rest early. β
Everyone is in favor, we just pay to send Peter back to the hotel!
On the way back, I hurriedly asked Xiao Li, "Tell me what the situation is!" β
"I doubt he understands Chinese!" Xiao Li said to me, "I went to the bathroom with him on purpose, and then I watched him in the women's bathroom, and he smoked a cigarette in the bathroom, and a waiter politely said to him, 'Sir, no smoking is allowed here!'" 'Guess what he is?' Xiao Li looked at me and asked.
"It's out!" I say with certainty.
Xiao Li nodded, "What does this mean?" β
"I also noticed that he seemed to be paying attention to our conversation, especially about the Xiang family!" I said to Xiao Li.
"Don't worry! I've laid down the bait! Xiao Li said to me.
"You laid down the bait?" I was a little surprised.
The traffic jam in front was red, Xiao Li muttered, and looked back, "It seems that there is an accident ahead, I'll see if I can change the road!" Xiao Li craned her neck and looked forward, where else was there any possibility.
We had to wait where we were, arching forward with the traffic, not as slow as usual.
"How can you still be stuck in traffic at this time? It's really weird! Xiao Li said to me, "You know what? What I was most afraid of was encountering something like this while on a mission. β
After waiting for a long time, the car moved slowly and moved forward for a while, and there was a fork in the road on the right.
Xiao Li hurriedly merged the road and stuffed it into the traffic on the right, and the traffic we followed forked onto the side road.
The road is not blocked, but the road condition is not good.
There were also cars that changed lanes at the moment, so our conversation was interrupted.
"It would be good when the traffic jam in Qingcheng could be improved!" Xiao Li sighed, "But too, it's like this everywhere!" β
"We're going to go far when we go out!" I looked out the car window, "You don't have to be too fast, anyway, we're going out, just swim the river as we like!" I looked at Xiao Li and said.
"Then we'll go back wherever we get closer!"
"You're also cunning?" Xiao Li looked at me and said a joke.
I laughed heartily, knowing of course that she was joking with me.
The street is sparsely lit because it forks in and goes around the edge of the West End.
