Chapter 31: The Bell and the Umbrella (I)
Probably because of the overuse of the dream talisman, Zhou Yu slept very deeply this time, and he didn't even hear the sound of the alarm clock, he woke up holding his breath, because Zhang Hao pinched his nose.
"Pig, you can't wake up when you scream, you went to catch the thief behind my back last night?" Zhang Hao let go of his nose and touched Zhou Yu's forehead again.
"What do you mean by carrying you behind your back and making it look like a young couple who are emotionally discordant, I'm just having a weird dream." Zhou Yu slapped his hand away and rolled over to get up.
"Strange dreams again? I'm afraid I'll have to go and see it, let's say, a psychiatric hospital or a neurological hospital, you pick one, and I'll accompany you. Zhang Hao looked enthusiastic.
Zhou Yu smiled disdainfully: "Accompany me?" I'm definitely the only one who can come out when we go in, so for your sake, don't go. β
"Seriously, it doesn't matter, does it?" Zhang Hao got serious and had strange dreams for two days in a row, which didn't seem to be a good sign.
"It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days." Zhou Yu got out of bed, thought about it, and said, "Don't tell anyone else about the dream, lest they worry blindly." β
"Okay, but if you still have these situations in the future, you have to tell me, there are some problems that you can't feel, so that others can see them, you tell me, at least I can help watch a little." Zhang Hao patted Zhou Yu and walked to the bathroom.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The morning of the coffee shop is always so lively, and Sister Su sits behind the bar as always, handing the staff her own coffee.
"Sister Su, you won't be handing out flyers again today, right?" Zhang Hao took the coffee and asked with a bitter face.
"I have a mission today." Sister Su took out her black notebook again, opened it and looked at it: "Zhang Hao is going to teach in elementary school, two classes, Zhou Yu is ...... today Accompanying shopping. β
"Shopping?" Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Jing and Sun Miaoan on the side, isn't this kind of thing done by girls? How can there be a man to accompany the purchase.
"It's the second lady of the Lu family, and she wants to buy a birthday gift for her boyfriend, so she asks a man to help with the reference." Sister Su closed the notepad.
"The Lu family? The Lu family who opened the hotel? Zhang Hao was a little surprised, turned his head to Zhou Yu and said, "The Lu family is rich, if you can get Miss Lu Er, you will have to work hard for thirty years." β
"Then you go, you are so handsome, Miss Lu Er will definitely not be able to resist your charm." Zhou Yu pursed his lips.
"Shhhh I am loyal to Sister Su, unless Sister Su allows me to take a concubine, I don't even look at other sisters. Zhang Hao said loudly.
"Oh? The pink electric car ......" Zhou Yu took a slow sip of coffee.
"Oh, that's the joy of helping others." Zhang Hao coughed lightly and lowered his voice: "Next time we act together, you say the place, I please." β
"That's pretty much it." Zhou Yu nodded.
In the process of drinking coffee, Sister Su assigned tasks to individuals, which is not a big deal, and this is also the daily routine of the clerks.
However, after assigning the task, Sister Su also explained that she would go back to the store before five o'clock in the afternoon, and there would be a task meeting at five o'clock.
"Collective action?" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, they are low-level clerks, they do mostly trivial things, rarely act collectively, only with the approval of Sister Su, can they be promoted to senior employees and move to the third floor.
The cafΓ© has four floors, and it is said that there are some strange guys living on the fourth floor, but that is just an urban legend, and even the clerks have never seen anyone on the fourth floor, because the stairs on the fourth floor are closed to traffic, and there is an iron door on the stairs.
"It's related to the old man with the child yesterday, right?" Zhang Hao remembered that when they came back yesterday, he saw the old man talking to Sister Su about things.
Sister Su nodded: "Let's talk about the specific things when you come back." β
The crowd was excited.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After eating breakfast, Zhou Yu got the contact information of Miss Lu Jiaer from Sister Su.
Miss Lu's second name is Lu Ting, a very simple name, but the title of "Second Miss" is slightly inconsistent in modern society, and those who are used to this kind of title are generally families, and they have been called this way many years ago, and the Lu family is a big family with a long history, and it has a lot of influence in Qingji City.
Zhou Yu first talked to Lu Ting on the phone, and made an appointment with her to meet at one o'clock at noon on the pedestrian street to pick gifts, three hours is definitely enough.
He thinks that these rich people are very tired, and it is so troublesome to pick a gift, think about it, Miss Lu Er's boyfriend is estimated to be a rich man, and it is too clichΓ© to give expensive gifts, so he has to pick meaningful, but he doesn't know her boyfriend, he doesn't know what he likes, but if he picks a gift purely from the perspective of the opposite sex, what if he doesn't like it?
The more I thought about it, the more troublesome I felt, Zhou Yu checked the Internet for a while, but didn't find any clue, so he made up for sleep and didn't wake up until lunch.
Zhang Hao has already gone to teach on behalf of him, that guy is two to two, his learning ability is much better than Zhou Yu, he has taken a lot of qualification certificates, he often takes on some tasks for substitute teaching, and he also recruits students to like it, Zhou Yu is not good, let him take the exam and ask for his life, he can't read books, he can't remember after reading, he can only take on some tasks that don't require a diploma, or do manual work.
After lunch, Zhou Yu took a taxi to the pedestrian street, and after waiting for a long time, he saw a slightly haggard, but beautiful woman walking over, she was wearing a dark blue dress, a pair of black-framed Date glasses, and a small black handbag, looking very low-key.
"May I ask if you are Mr. Zhou Yuzhou?" Walking up to her, she asked softly.
"It's me, what should I call you? Second Miss or Miss Lu? Zhou Yu nodded and smiled.
"Just call me Lu Ting." She also smiled, she didn't have that kind of high-minded, rejecting the temperament of thousands of miles away, she was very cheerful.
"Let's go, what grade and type of gift do you want to choose?" Zhou Yu didn't plan to care about her mood, as long as the task was completed, there would be no chance to meet in the future anyway.
"I don't know." She shook her head: "My eyes are all picky, and I really can't think of it, so I want to find an irrelevant person to help with reference." β
"So that's the case, then let's go shopping, maybe we can suddenly find something." Zhou Yu took Lu Ting and walked forward slowly.
I visited a few boutiques and looked at all kinds of gifts, but Lu Ting didn't have any eye-catching, Zhou Yu took a fancy to a few commemorative versions of ZIPPO lighters, even if he didn't smoke, these lighters could also be used as decorations, although the price was expensive, but it was definitely not a problem for Lu Ting.
But she kept shaking her head, hoping to buy something that she could usually use, and she didn't think the watches and clothes that Zhou Yu proposed were inappropriate, because the other party already had a lot of them.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be so much trouble to pick a gift." Standing on the side of the street, Lu Ting helped her glasses and smiled a little apologetically.
"I see, you're looking for a gift that will surprise you and won't crash with someone else and keep him from forgetting it for a long time." Zhou Yu didn't look a little impatient, this is work, there will always be boring times in work, but it must be done well.
"That's right! It's a gift like that, what do you think of? Lu Ting's eyes lit up.
Zhou Yu nodded: "That's it, pick an eye-catching wall clock and give it to him, and I guarantee that no one else will send it." β
"Bell?" Lu Ting frowned.
Zhou Yu explained: "The clock is actually one of the best gifts in the world, but it was ruined by homophony in Huaxia, you think, the clock is not afraid of giving weight, the living room has a bedroom that can be hung, the bedroom can be hung in the kitchen, the kitchen can be hung in the bathroom, it can be put into use immediately after receipt, this year life is fast-paced, and the time spent on looking at the clock and looking at the watch is also increasing, every time he looks at the clock, he can remember that it is something you sent, how good." β
"But send the bell ......," Lu Ting smiled bitterly.
"It's really nothing to send the bell, just send it to the old man who cares about this, we young people should not pay attention to these." Zhou Yu said with a smile: "And the word "end-off" itself is not a derogatory term, but most people follow the trend, and the end-off is bad, and the end-off is connected with the old-age care, and some people are so happy to send the end!" Alone is the most terrible, if there is a girl to me to say, 'I will give you a pension', I am absolutely moved to tears, if you don't feel at ease to attach a card, I said these words pounding, write a good sound, and give it to him, let him be moved. β
At the end, he added: "Of course, I don't know your boyfriend, it still depends on the person, if he usually likes to joke and has a more easy-going temperament, this will ensure that he will not offend him, if he is more old and serious, let's do other considerations." β
"Sending you to the end ......of your life," Lu Ting smacked this sentence carefully, and the person looked at the wall clock on the wall with a happy smile in her mind.
Her smile gradually bloomed, and she nodded: "Okay, let's buy a clock, but if you want to buy a better one, let's go to the specialty store to buy it, which brand is better?" Swiss? β
Zhou Yu pointed to the skyscraper at the corner of the street and said: "The watch is Swiss and the clock has to be bought in Nibon, the top wall clock has two brands, Lisheng and Seiko, and the domestic Polaris and Overlord are also good, just go to the Linglu Hotel, there are counters." β
Linglu Hotel has a total of 30 floors, the lower five floors are shopping malls, the sixth and seventh floors are mainly catering, the major brands in the mall have counters, there are many luxury goods, and things are not cheap, but it should not be a problem for Lu Ting, because Linglu Hotel is opened by the Lu family, the first hotel under the Linglu Group.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ting glanced at her watch, shook her head and said, "I don't want to go there, let's buy it somewhere else." β
"Oh." Zhou Yu didn't know the reason, and he didn't want to pursue it, the employer said that he would go wherever he went, he was just accompanying the purchase.
The two walked towards the other end of the pedestrian street, and before they had gone far, Zhou Yu saw Lu Ting's body shake violently and stopped.
