"My birthday is coming," Xiao Ling said as she walked.

"yes, I know."

"You'll come."

After Xiao Ling asked what he had always wanted to ask, his heart rose to his throat, and he was afraid that Lin Yi would say an answer he didn't want to hear.

"I'll go, if you don't think my gift is shabby."

Lin looked at Xiao Ling with a light smile on the side, with a natural expression. Xiao Ling resisted the urge to jump up and laugh, but just raised her hand and rubbed Lin Yi's hair, "Great." ”

"Can I skip the banquet? I'll go back when the banquet is over. ”

"Okay," Xiao Ling replied very simply, "I don't like that kind of banquet either, as long as you have one for my birthday, it's enough." ”

After saying this, Xiao Ling realized that the atmosphere had become a little ambiguous, but fortunately, Lin Yi took over at this time, "Your home is far away, will the taxi agree to go to that area so late?" ”

"I'll ask the driver to pick you up."

"I'm in trouble." Lin Yi just wanted this effect to say that, he is now just a student who needs to rely on his parents, and he is not yet old enough to get a driver's license, if the taxi really doesn't go, he can't let his father send it.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the Rolls-Royce Phantom driven by Master He appeared downstairs of the Lin family on time, Lin Yi walked up and said to Master He, "Master, please come to pick me up, this is a small pastry made by my mother, you can take it back to the family to taste"

Master He has been driving for the Xiao family for more than ten years, and he is also clear about Xiao Ling's child's temperament, and the child in front of him is the only child Xiao Ling has brought home for the night for so many years.

Master He didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly came out to help Lin Yi open the door, but when he saw Lin Yi's whole body, he shook his mind for a moment, Lin Yi was wearing a khaki stand-up collar trench coat, with a black shirt, brown thin belt boots, and a silver four-leaf clover pendant hanging on his chest, glowing with cold silver light, his slender figure was full of fashion, and the moonlight shone on his face, making his face more fair and delicate, as if he was like a vampire duke.

Master He racked his brains to think of such a character, he is also an old driver who has received stars from all walks of life, but he was still surprised by Lin Yi's refined temperament, and he deserved to be Xiao Shao's friend.

Master He's white-gloved hand respectfully opened the car door, asked Lin Yi to sit in the back seat, and drove smoothly on the road.

The Shaw family is far away from the city, and even if the road is smooth, it will take nearly two hours to get past the Lin family.

After getting off the highway, the lights gradually thinned, all the way to the end of the winding mountain road to the open space where Lin Yi flew a kite last year, Lin Yi looked out the window, the street lamp passed by his face quickly, and the floating light was full of Yan Yan's shallow smile, everything was like yesterday.

The car drove through the open space is the gate of Xiao's house, Master He bypassed the fountain roundabout, continued to drive deep for a while, and then the car was steady, and someone immediately came to open the door for Lin Yi to guide the way, probably Xiao Ling instructed.

The person who came called himself Uncle Zhao took Lin Yi to an annex, the last time he came to the Xiao family, he only stayed around the main banquet hall, but he didn't expect that there was an annex inside.

After Uncle Zhao invited Lin Yi to sit down on the sofa, he brought red wine for Lin Yi, poured it into the decanter, and said, "Please feel free" and left.

Lin Yi picked up the wine bottle and looked at it carefully, it was 82-year-old Lafite, it seemed that the Xiao family was really in a hurry to be busy with Xiao Ling's birthday banquet, and they actually used wine to entertain him, a minor, and it took a long time to wake up and drink it to taste good.

However, Lin Yi was not in a hurry, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xiao Ling to tell Xiao Ling that he had arrived. After that, I poured a glass of wine, walked out of the annex, and sat down at the round table outside the corridor, leaning back in my chair and holding a wine glass.

Although it is the depths of winter, Yugi City's tropical climate does not make people feel cold.

In the middle of the moon, before the midnight bell in the main building was about to arrive, Xiao Ling finally got out and ran all the way to the annex, and the neat dresses became messy in the run.

I saw the familiar figure from afar, still that lazy look, holding a wine glass in one hand, holding a trouser pocket with one hand, leaning on the marble pillar in the corridor, Xiao Ling was slightly angry in his heart, this guy, don't you know how to wait inside, wearing so thin and blowing the wind outside, thinking that this is how many months.

He was angry that he couldn't come over immediately after receiving Lin Yi's message, he must have been waiting outside for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He spent a night absent-mindedly dealing with those he didn't care about, but let the people he really care about wait here alone.

As soon as Lin saw Xiao Ling coming, he stood up straight, and stretched out his hand holding the wine glass to Xiao Ling: "Happy birthday", Xiao Ling took the wine glass and said with a smile.

"I'm 18 years old, and I'm okay with drinking."

Lin Yi also smiled: "If you don't come again, I won't have time to bless you, what time do you think it is?" ”

"Sorry, this is the birthday wish I want to hear the most today".

Lin Yi turned his face away, thinking to himself how this guy had become so direct since he admitted his feelings, and he didn't know what words to use to continue.

Xiao Ling saw that Lin Yi didn't speak, thinking that his late arrival made Lin Yi angry, but then he thought that it would be those arrogant young ladies at the banquet who would do that, Lin Yi wouldn't.

The embarrassment only lasted for a few seconds, Lin Yi turned around and walked back to the room, Xiao Ling followed, Lin Yi picked up the file bag on the table and handed it to Xiao Ling: "No, birthday gift."

Xiao Ling looked surprised, turned to surprise, and excitedly opened the file bag, which contained a stack of bound materials, and a USB flash drive, with Xiaoxiang Yaju North America Promotion Plan written on the cover, Xiao Ling was so surprised that she was stunned.

Lin Yi didn't continue to appreciate his surprised expression, and said seriously.

"It has been three years since Xiaoshi entered the catering industry with Xiaoxiang Yaju brand Chinese restaurant, and the mid-to-high-end customer base has been accurately positioned and has a number of stable customer resources. In addition, with the backing of Shaw's Real Estate, it occupies the most advantageous geographical location in first-tier cities at a low cost, and the advertising promotion of star effect is also very successful, so that Xiaoxiang Yaju has quickly established its popularity and created considerable profits for Shaw's. Although it could not fully cover Shaw's losses in the biochemical industry, it still strengthened the confidence of shareholders and successfully pulled up Shaw's stock price. Xiaoxiang Yaju already has the strength to enter the overseas market, and the shareholders of Shaw have already made a decision, so the headhunting company will move frequently recently, and the senior management of Shaw hopes to find people with overseas background and rich experience in restaurant management to promote the overseas market, so the headhunting company hyped it on the LUNA website. I only have a superficial view of the situation in North America, so I made this plan, which includes the analysis of consumer consumption habits in various regions of the United States and Canada, the data of well-known Chinese restaurants in North America, and the SWOT analysis of Xiaoxiang Yaju, and the integrated marketing communication plan of Xiaoxiang Yaju in North America in the future, I hope it will be useful to you. ”

Xiao Ling was still surprised and didn't know what to say, Lin Yi continued: "Although it is not as good as a luxury watch car, it is already the most decent gift I can come up with, I have been preparing for four months, because I can't get Xiao's internal information, it is very difficult to just collect information." There is also a lack of support from key data such as the cost and turnover of Xiaoxiang Yaju in China, I am based on my own data model to simulate the project, I don't know how many deviations there will be, if there is more information to provide me, then it can be improved. ”

Seeing that Xiao Ling still didn't speak, Lin Yi laughed at himself a little.

"I'm really a part-time worker, and I seem to be making a work report to my boss."

Xiao Ling finally came back to her senses and hurriedly explained.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about this, but I'm really grateful, I'll give it to my father, he'll pay attention to it."

"Have you been so polite before? You seem to be saying sorry all the time tonight. ”

Lin Yi smiled lightly and looked at Xiao Ling defiantly.

Xiao Ling grabbed Lin Yi's wrist.

"Follow me," he said, pulling Lin as he walked up the spiral staircase.

"Where are you going?"

"Bedroom."

"Wait."

Lin Yi broke away from Xiao Ling's hand and returned to the table, and when he came back, he held a wine glass in one hand and a decanter full of red wine in the other, and raised it towards Xiao Ling, "Don't waste such a good wine." ”

Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief and walked up the stairs with joy.
