Chapter Twenty-Six: Making Friends with Tea
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lei Xiaofeng arrived at the Guse and Ming Tea House on time.
For this antique three-story high-end teahouse, Lei Xiaofeng also fantasized a few times, burning an agarwood and sitting alone on a soft couch. Then lightly brewed a pot of high-quality fragrant tea, listened to the sound of the guzheng, and closed his eyes slightly. Smell the tea lightly and drink the green juice lightly. Just thinking about it, the whole person's soul can be sublimated, and a sense of tranquility and elegance arises spontaneously.
But to experience this feeling of detachment from the world, it costs a lot of money. I heard that the cheapest tea in the drum and song is two or three hundred, and it is sitting in the hall.
If you want to sit in a private room, the price is even more expensive. The special feature of the drums and chimes is that each private room has its own tea. When the private room is selected, the tea is also selected. For example, Jasmine Pavilion corresponds to the best jasmine tea. In the past, Lei Xiaofeng didn't have spare money to enjoy here.
Then again, it is inseparable from worldly money to experience the feeling of being out of the world. It has to be said that this is a hidden mockery.
Walking into the teahouse, the sound of drums surrounds the ears, clear and long, and the music sound is moderate, imperceptibly soothing the soul contaminated by the world. A young girl in a light brown loose coat stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said softly: "Hello, is it to drink tea or to find a guest?" ”
"Oh, the seeker." Lei Xiaofeng followed the girl's words and said, "Gu Haitian, General Manager Gu." ”
"Please follow me." The girl nodded slightly, and leaned sideways forward to lead the way.
Stepping on the soft carpet, I went up to the second floor, turned around through a corridor, and came to the door of a private room. The girl bowed slightly, turned and walked away.
Lei Xiaofeng straightened his suit and raised his hand to knock on the wooden door gently.
"Please come in." Gu Haitian's voice came.
Lei Xiaofeng gently pushed open the door with both hands and walked in.
This private room is not large, there are no cubicles, incense burners are lit in the four corners, and a low long mahogany table is placed in the middle. On the carpet on both sides of the wooden table, soft cushions are placed. At this time, Gu Haitian, who was dressed in a casual suit, was sitting cross-legged behind the wooden case, making tea with elegant movements.
"Sit." Glancing at Lei Xiaofeng, Gu Haitian smiled and waved his hand.
Lei Xiaofeng turned around and gently closed the door, stepped forward, followed Gu Haitian's example, and slowly sat cross-legged on the opposite side. may be affected by the environment, Lei Xiaofeng's every movement is very light, as if a little louder sound will destroy the current artistic conception.
On the wooden table in front of him, in addition to a complete set of glass tea sets, there were only two boxy wipes left. Gu Haitian obviously came in advance, and the process of making tea in the early stage had been completed.
"Wipe your hands." Gu Haitian said softly while holding the teapot with both hands and pouring out two cups of tea from low to high.
Lei Xiaofeng picked up the wet wipes on the table and carefully wiped his already clean hands.
"You're very punctual, and I have just the right amount of time." Gu Haitian picked up a cup of tea with both hands, sent it to Lei Xiaofeng, and said with a slight smile: "Taste a product." ”
Lei Xiaofeng took the exquisitely crafted glass teacup, and according to the tea tasting method that Gu Haitian gave him before, he first looked at the color of the tea, and then smelled the fragrance of the tea. Only then did he put it to his lips, and after a shallow taste, his eyebrows raised.
"How?" Gu Haitian asked with a smile.
"It's delicious." Lei Xiaofeng replied with a smile: "It's much sweeter than the tea you drank in your office before." "Talking to Gu Haitian, you don't have to beat around the bush, what to say, but it makes people very comfortable.
"Different teas have different tastes." Gu Haitian took a sip and asked, "Do you know what kind of tea this is?" ”
"The best dragon well." Lei Xiaofeng said without thinking.
"Yo, it's a big growth." Gu Haitian was a little surprised, before in the office, Lei Xiaofeng didn't understand tea at all.
"It's not that I tasted it, but when I came in, I saw a sign next to the door that said 'Longjing Pavilion'." Lei Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"I just like your honesty." Gu Haitian said: "In this drum and song, Longjing tea is the most authentic, the tea soup is green, the aroma is high, and the taste is sweet, which is rare." ”
Lei Xiaofeng nodded and said with a smile: "This tea set is not bad, it is actually made of transparent glass, which is very exquisite." ”
"Brewing tea is not all the purple sand tea set in the movie." Gu Haitian explained: "Different teas need different tea utensils to brew the taste of the tea itself. Celadon is generally used for flower tea, warm-colored porcelain with white glaze is best for black tea, and purple sand is used for oolong and Tieguanyin. ”
"As for Longjing, Biluochun and Houkui, they belong to green tea and are best brewed with a clear glass tea set. Not only does this bring out its flavor, but it also shows the way it moves up and down, the leaves stretch and the color of the tea soup throughout the brewing process. ”
Gu Haitian picked up the teacup and shook it gently, "You see the light dew in the cup, the tea buds are blooming, slim, floating up and down, pleasing to the eye, isn't it funny?" ”
"I can't imagine drinking a bowl of tea, there are so many exquisitenesses, it's really teachable." Lei Xiaofeng said with admiration.
"The process of drinking tea has a lot in common with life, as far as the selection of tea utensils is concerned, different teas use containers with different textures." Gu Haitian said in a calm tone: "The same is true for employing people, talents with different temperaments need to be accepted and guided in different ways, and only in this way can they give full play to their own advantages." ”
Lei Xiaofeng nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Feng, have you ever considered changing jobs?" Gu Haitian suddenly asked.
"Huh?" The topic changed too quickly, Lei Xiaofeng was stunned and didn't react.
Gu Haitian took a sip of tea, looked at Lei Xiaofeng and said, "I still lack an assistant here, and the salary is definitely much higher than that of the department manager of your company, how about it?" Are you interested in coming to work with me? ”
Gu Haitian's words made Lei Xiaofeng a little confused for a while, but what he said was indeed the truth. Datong Advertising and Hongtian Group are not at the same level at all, Gu Haitian's assistant, the treatment must be quite good.
But Lei Xiaofeng can't agree now, he still has a task to do, and he has to push Xu Dasha to the chairman's position within three months. Staying in Chase Advertising, it is naturally more convenient to act. And now Xu Dasha is Lei Xiaofeng's assistant, if he changes jobs, Xu Dasha will immediately have to go back to work as a security guard.
"That, I have to thank Mr. Gu for your kindness, but I'm not allowed to change jobs for the time being." Lei Xiaofeng said: "On the one hand, I have been working in the company for more than two years, and I have some feelings. On the other hand, there are some things in the company that I can't let go of for the time being, so I'm going to disappoint you. ”
"Xiao Feng, I am not modest to say, my ability to know people is famous in Hongtian. But I found that some people can't see through you. Instead of being angry at Lei Xiaofeng's refusal, Gu Haitian admired him even more because of his loyalty to Chase advertising. How many people want to enter Hongtian are not able to come, Xiang Lei Xiaofeng, who was invited to be the assistant to the general manager, but refused, is really rare.
Gu Haitian knew that Lei Xiaofeng was unwilling to leave Datong, and he had nothing to do with feelings, he had to stay.
"I can't see through anything." Lei Xiaofeng waved his hand and smiled.
"Of course there is, you rejected me just now, and it was unexpected." Gu Haitian took a sip of tea and said.
"Mr. Gu, I want to ask." Lei Xiaofeng picked up the teapot and said while adding tea to Gu Haitian: "I've been thinking about this question for several days, to be honest, I'm just an ordinary little clerk, compared to you, we are one heaven and one underground." And I'm sure we didn't have much of a relationship before, so why do you think so highly of me? ”
"Three reasons, first, you persistently send emails to our department's mailbox, which I appreciate, now there are not many people who can persist in one thing for two years, especially knowing that what they insist on is likely to not be rewarded but still persists unwaveringly, which is even more commendable."
Gu Haitian said with a serious expression: "The second point is very simple, I see you pleasing to the eye, and I feel comfortable when I see you at first sight." ”
Lei Xiaofeng nodded, the matter of pleasing the eye should be related to the increase in his charm value, "What about the third point?" ”
"That last point is strange to say." Gu Haitian wrinkled his brows, looked at Lei Xiaofeng and said, "I think you are very special, my inner intuition tells me that you have something outstanding in you, and you will definitely soar in the future and show your talents." ”
"Mr. Gu, you have won the prize." Lei Xiaofeng broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, how could he care about Haitian's words, as if he knew that he had the ultimate system in his body.
"I haven't won an award, as I said before, my ability to recognize people is recognized in Hongtian." Gu Haitian said sincerely: "As long as you work hard, I believe you will be able to achieve your own glory." ”
"I will work hard to borrow your good words." Lei Xiaofeng nodded and replied, don't say it, Gu Haitian's words really made Lei Xiaofeng's blood boil for seven points, and he was really moved by three points.
"I have a proposal, how about we make friends with this cup of tea today?" Gu Haitian asked.
"Really?" Lei Xiaofeng was a little suspicious of his ears, and the general manager of the dignified Hongtian Propaganda Department actually offered to make friends with him.
"I'm never joking." Gu Haitian looked sincere.
"You're too high-minded, I can't ask for it." Lei Xiaofeng hurriedly sat upright and said.
"Okay, come, replace wine with tea, clink glasses to our friendship, from now on, we are good friends." Gu Haitian picked up the teacup and said word by word.
"I respect you." Lei Xiaofeng raised his glass with both hands.
"There is no salutation between friends, cheers." Gu Haitian said happily.
The two of them gently clinked their cups and raised their heads to drink the tea in their cups. Looking at each other and smiling, Lei Xiaofeng felt that he was really running from time to time and made such a good friend. Lei Xiaofeng didn't expect that his current mood would also appear in Gu Haitian's heart in the near future.
