Chapter 32: The Bell and the Umbrella (II)
Seeing that Lu Ting's body shook and stopped walking, Zhou Yu hurriedly followed her gaze and looked forward.
In front of him, a pair of men and women in their early twenties walked side by side, the woman was handsome and lovely, the man was handsome and chic, he was wearing a well-cut suit, the material was expensive, and he was wearing a Breguet belt watch, the price should be more than six figures, not ridiculously expensive, but it matched the suit very well.
Seeing Lu Ting, he was also stunned for a moment, greeted him with a smile, and said, "Lu Ting, why did you come out, I thought I would meet you on the seventh floor, this is your boyfriend?" ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to Zhou Yu again and said, "Hello, I'm Song Han." ”
"Zhou fish, the kind of fish that flows in the water." Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and shook it with him.
Without waiting for him to explain, Lu Ting on the side nodded and said, "Yes, let's go out to do something, why did you come so early?" ”
Song Han sighed helplessly: "I heard that Uncle Sun came in advance and was strolling around the mall, so I had to rush over." ”
"Then you go quickly, don't let Uncle Sun wait, let's go first, we'll see you later." Lu Ting grabbed Zhou Yu's arm and said with a smile.
Song Han nodded: "Okay, I'll see you later, by the way, Mr. Zhou will come later, right?" ”
"There's something to do later, I'll see when the time comes, I'll come if it's done early." Zhou Yu said with a wry smile.
"As much as possible, as much as possible." Song Han smiled, and walked quickly to the hotel with the woman beside him.
A few short words, not salty or light greetings, invitations and ambiguous responses, the four of them staggered through the pedestrian street, very ordinary, judging from their expressions, words and deeds, there was nothing wrong.
But Zhou Yu knew that he had already entered the Shura Field, and he hadn't come out yet, because Lu Ting was still by his side.
Lu Ting still held him, walked forty or fifty meters forward before silently letting go, glanced sideways at Zhou Yu, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to come early." ”
"It's okay, isn't he your boyfriend?" Zhou Yu had to ask, if the situation was the same as he thought, then he must not take the wall clock as a gift.
Sure enough, Lu Ting lowered her head and said, "No, he is my ex-boyfriend, and I don't know why I called you my boyfriend just now, probably ...... Don't want to lose, do you? ”
With that, she smiled self-deprecatingly and pinned a strand of hair behind her ear.
"So that's the case, it's human nature, it's understandable." Zhou Yu nodded.
That being said, that's not what he thinks, and there are a lot of doubts about it.
Sister Su will definitely not make a mistake about her boyfriend and her ex-boyfriend, buying a gift for her boyfriend and buying a gift for her ex-boyfriend are not the same thing at all, it is definitely Lu Ting who said that she is her boyfriend, so Sister Su will say so;
secondly, she looked at her watch just now, and seemed to know that Song Han would come in advance, so she was reluctant to go to the hotel to buy a wall clock, but this may also be that she was unwilling to meet with that Uncle Sun;
The third is Song Han's attitude, he met his current girlfriend and ex-girlfriend, he was so calm, if he was Zhou Yu, he would never be able to do this, unless he suffered from severe amnesia;
Finally, there is the introduction problem, Song Han and Zhou Yu don't know each other, so they introduced themselves, but they didn't introduce the woman next to him, which is very normal, it seems weird to introduce his girlfriend to a stranger, but he didn't introduce it to Lu Ting, judging from Lu Han's greetings, this is a person who knows etiquette, so there is only one reason for not introducing - Lu Ting has known the woman for a long time, and knows her identity.
And it's not normal to express the meaning of "pension to the end" to your ex-boyfriend, right?
It seems that the title of "ex-boyfriend" also has to be marked with a question mark, Zhou Yu doesn't want to inquire about this matter, but if he doesn't find out the identity of the other party, he doesn't know how to recommend a birthday gift.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Since he is an ex-boyfriend, he can't send a wall clock, it's easy for him to misunderstand." ”
"So what should I send?" Lu Ting sighed.
"Send an umbrella." Zhou Yu replied immediately.
"Umbrella? Why? Lu Ting looked back at him.
"Giving an umbrella can mean two things." Zhou Yu explained: "If you have been on a good relationship - whether it is during the relationship or after a breakup - then you can put a small label on the umbrella handle and write 'thank you for your continued care'; ”
Lu Ting was stunned for a while, and then reacted that "lifting" did not refer to the lifting of an umbrella, and shook her head with a smile: "This is too bad, no, our relationship has always been good." ”
"Then use the former, but the best umbrellas are not easy to buy, the British umbrella is the best in the world, and the Swaine-Adeney-Brigg umbrella is known as a work of art that can be carried around; Fulton is also Crowned; James-Smith-Son's high-end umbrellas may cost six or seven thousand, but they are not easy to buy, and it can take days for people to buy them or buy them online. Zhou Yu scratched the back of his head and said.
"Yes, if you want to use it as a birthday gift, you can't just go to the street and buy one, that's too insincere." Lu Ting sighed.
"You can ask the coffee shop, maybe Sister Su has a way, I don't dare to guarantee that I will be able to have it, and I may not be able to get something today, and the price will definitely be more expensive than buying it yourself, but it's always a way." Zhou Yu didn't forget about the coffee shop business.
It's also a trouble to not be able to buy a good umbrella, and if you don't even have Sister Su, then you can only think of other ideas.
"Okay, and can you accompany me to the birthday party?" Lu Ting asked again.
"You also have to ask Sister Su about this, maybe I really have something else, it depends on her arrangement." Zhou Yu really didn't want to get involved in this matter, but if Sister Su asked him to accompany him, he would definitely still accompany him, not only because of money, but also because of connections, although Lu Ting is the second miss, she is the second miss of the Lu family after all.
"Okay, let's find a place to sit first." Lu Ting did not have the habit of standing on the side of the street and making phone calls.
The two walked into a cold drink shop and one ordered an ice cream.
Lu Ting started to call, and Zhou Yu sat opposite her, with her hand in her trouser pocket, looking like nothing was wrong, but she was actually texting.
He used a smart phone with physical buttons, which is a bit backward in terms of hardware, and the performance is poor, but it is better to be able to type blindly, which is not possible with pure touch screen mobile phones.
The content of the text message is very simple, explaining that the task is weird, and she doesn't want to continue, so she sends it to the mobile phone that Sister Su is only used by insiders, and she will definitely go to see it as soon as possible, even if she is on the phone with Lu Ting.
Lu Ting also told the matter again, mainly about the umbrella, and by the way, she made a new commission, hoping that Zhou Yu could accompany her to the banquet.
After a while, she hung up the phone and said to Zhou Yu: "Sister Su asked you to go back to get an umbrella, a friend of hers has a good umbrella in it, let's talk about the banquet, she wants to see your itinerary, and give me an answer when you send the umbrella." ”
"Okay, it will take a while to get the umbrella, what are you going to do?" Zhou Yu knew that Sister Su wanted him to go back and figure out what was going on.
"I'll wait for you at the hotel." Lu Ting scooped a spoonful of ice cream and put it in her mouth.
"Then I'll go back and get the umbrella now, and I'll call you later." Zhou Yusan finished the ice cream in two bites, paid the money, walked to the street corner and took a taxi back to the coffee shop.
…………
Sister Su's office is located in the innermost part of the hallway on the third floor, and then inside is her bedroom.
She never went out to socialize, always staying in the office surfing the Internet, handling mail, and occasionally disappearing for a few days, when she went on an overseas mission with a mysterious person on the fourth floor, but still called back to assign everyone's tasks.
No one knows about her past, everyone is curious, but they never inquire, this woman who can't find the slightest fault no matter what kind of past she is carrying, has nothing to do with others, curiosity kills cats, and she touches things that shouldn't be touched, maybe she will open Pandora's box.
Zhou Yu knocked on the door of the office, they are employees on the second floor, rarely come to the third floor, the door here is always closed, but in the early morning, people on the third floor will go downstairs to drink the coffee made by Sister Su, they are all quiet and restrained, unlike Zhang Hao, who is very noisy.
"Come in." Sister Su's lazy voice came from the office.
Zhou Yu pushed open the door and went in, seeing her holding the mouse in her right hand, holding her cheek raiser on the table with her left hand, pointing to the sofa with her chin and motioning for him to sit down, and said with a smile: "What?" Miss Lu Jia's second lady is not to your liking? ”
She doesn't care about her image at all, she still holds her cheeks when she speaks, she doesn't have the style of a boss, and the smile on her face often appears in Zhou Yu's dreams, of course, that was before.
"It's weird." Zhou Yu didn't know how to express it, so he told what he had seen and heard before, and finally expressed his suspicions.
Sister Su's smile was even bigger: "Okay, don't learn from you to learn from the detective, why do you have nothing to analyze so much?" If you really don't want to go, I'll push it for you, we have a lot of dealings with the Lu family, but it doesn't have much to do with her Lu Ting, if you don't go, you won't go, but you have to think about it, this is an opportunity for you to expand your network, through her you can meet a lot of big people, such as that Song Han, his grandfather was an official, brought out a lot of officials, and retired cleanly, his family is not rich, but his popularity is very good, if you guess correctly, that Uncle Sun is the third-in-command of the municipal party committee Sun Qingfu. ”
"But going to the banquet as his boyfriend can really expand his network?" Zhou Yu said with a bitter face.
"Then it depends on your means, pretending to be a boyfriend, you can't hide it for a while, how to take the initiative to expose it, how not to embarrass Lu Ting when it is exposed, how to make others look at you differently, if these three points are done well, your connections will rise, it doesn't matter if you can't do it, you can entrust the coffee shop to help you, and I will give you a ninety-nine discount." Sister Su stroked her hair, looking very generous.
"This is too deductible, I'm an old employee, it's better not to play at ninety-nine discounts!" Zhou Yu protested loudly.
"It's okay, I can charge you more, so that the ninety-nine discount will seem to save a lot of money." At the end, Sister Su couldn't help but laugh.
