Chapter 50:: Something is strange in the mood
He Tianling also smiled, he said: "The transparent office space may not make people accustomed to it at first. However, an unobstructed office space will make employees unconsciously keep the surrounding environment clean and tidy. A good office environment is conducive to people to keep their heads above water and work well. ”
He Tianling talked to Shen Linxi about some work matters again, and then he drove to a restaurant and wanted to invite Shen Linxi to dinner. She hurriedly refused, however, He Tianling just smiled and didn't speak, and after he parked the car, he got out of the car.
Shen Linxi had no choice but to get out of the car and follow He Tianling's side. She followed him and walked towards the door of the hotel, while sneering: Are the bosses so domineering? Doesn't she even have the freedom to refuse? However, forget it, if it comes, let it be safe!
When Shen Linxi followed He Tianling into the hotel hall, she suddenly felt as if she had entered the palace, because the interior of the hotel was magnificent, beautiful, like a palace, which was shocking. I saw that on the wall, the brightly colored, gorgeous and beautiful picture scroll makes people feel as if they are in the palace of art, and the dazzling huge lotus chandelier hangs down from the high ceiling of the hall, layer upon layer, brilliant and exquisite.
He Tianling and Shen Linxi, led by a beautiful and graceful welcome lady, went up to the second floor and sat down at a table by the window. A clean pink tablecloth is laid on the table, and a crystal clear vase is placed in the center, reflecting the sparkling light, and a handful of extremely blooming pink roses are inserted in the bottle, and the romantic and warm atmosphere flows.
Shen Linxi looked out the window through the wide and bright glass. At night, the river of cars is flowing slowly, bustling, on the street, the lights are on, brilliant, and lively.
He Tianling roughly flipped through a list of overly exquisite menus sent by the waiter, and did not ask Shen Linxi what dishes he liked to eat, he quickly ordered a few things.
When Shen Linxi saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: On weekdays, when a group of students went out to eat, they would think about what dishes to order, and they would take great pains to think about what to order, which was in stark contrast to Fan He Tianling's approach in front of them.
When Shen Linxi was in reverie, He Tianling asked her gently, "What are you thinking?" ”
When she heard this, she was stunned for a moment, only to realize that she was in a fugue.
Shen Linxi laughed and said, "When I saw you ordering, I suddenly remembered the scene when we were eating out and ordering, which is very different from your ordering style." So, I'm wondering if I shouldn't waste my time ordering food in the future in order to become a successful person like you. ”
He Tianling laughed, and Shen Linxi suddenly found that his smile was very tasteful, with a kind of slowly blooming elegance, and a little naughty feeling. This made her feel novel, because she had seen that He Tianling's hair had a little gray hair before, so she naturally regarded him as an elder. But now, He Tianling smiled calmly, and he had a little more youth after the traces of the years.
He smiled and said, "I'm a person who doesn't understand life, and I'm used to scribbling, so it's not good." Life is supposed to have some fun, but I can't learn it. ”
Shen Linxi said seriously: "Everyone's energy is limited, and their concerns are different. Perhaps, it is precisely because you are so focused on your career that you don't have much time to pay attention to the details of life. However, as long as you are willing to feel life with your heart, you will definitely be a successful lifer. ”
He Tianling played with Shen Linxi's words: "A successful lifer? Well, I want that too. However, I always felt like I was walking on a tightrope, I couldn't get down or stop, so I had to keep moving forward. ”
Shen Linxi couldn't empathize with the feeling He Tianling said, all she could think of was that it must be very difficult to do business. So, she said: "The so-called "if you don't advance, you will retreat" seems to be an eternal truth. That's what we learn, and that's how you do business. It's just that the hardships you go through in doing business are definitely something that most people can't experience in their lifetime.
'The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold', you are now very qualified to say this. ”
He Tianling was still smiling, and said indifferently: "In fact, I have come all the way, torment, excitement, happiness, and all kinds of moods, but now I don't have much emotion." My biggest concern at the moment is to continue to do this well. ”
Shen Linxi said with a little regret: "It's a pity that I don't have an experience like you, so I don't have much resonance with you." We students often have a lot of imagination, sometimes, we think of society very scary, and sometimes, we think very easily. In many cases, we just feel emotional.
Therefore, Xin Qiji's poem 'The young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow, and he is worried about the new words. That's us. ”
He Tianling crossed his hands together, smiled and said, "Actually, I envy you very much, you can live simply and do whatever you want." And when I was forced to make a living, I left my hometown early, worked outside, and later started a business, during which I only cared about working day and night, and sometimes I had to worry about rent and food. ”
Shen Linxi couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Have you started working early?" In fact, what she wanted to ask in her heart was, didn't He Tianling go to college and go out to work at a young age?
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes up, "French pan-fried foie gras, chrysanthemum fish, cordyceps mixed with golden mushrooms, stir-fried lotus pond, parsley lily", as well as two staple dishes "crispy egg cake" and "fried pho", and two cups of "stewed snow clams with sea cucumber". These dishes are beautifully shaped, delicately made, and the color combination is very refreshing and pleasing to the eye.
In the end, the waiter brought another bottle of osmanthus wine, put it in front of Shen Linxi, and poured a glass for her. Shen Linxi immediately smelled the smell of osmanthus in the air. He Tianling only drinks tea because he has to drive.
He Tianling put a large piece of foie gras on the plate in front of Shen Linxi with a spoon and let her taste it. Shen Linxi said as he said, cut a small piece with a spoon and picked it up, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
Then she nodded and praised: "No wonder foie gras is known as an aristocratic food in France, it melts in your mouth and has a very mellow taste." ”
He Tianling said: "If you like it, the osmanthus wine here is also very distinctive." ”
Shen Linxi nodded, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and observed it, only to see that the wine in the glass was amber, clear and translucent. She took a small sip, and felt that the wine was slightly sweet in the mouth, with the fragrance and sweet taste of osmanthus flowers, which was very soft and thick.
She couldn't help but take another sip, and then sighed: "It's such a wonderful idea to use flowers in wine." Osmanthus, chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, and roses each have their own merits, and after they are fused with wine, it seems that they suddenly have a new soul. ”
He Tianling looked at her and didn't speak, just smiled and listened quietly. Then, he reached out and took the bottle of osmanthus wine, poured himself a glass, and then slowly took a few sips and savored it carefully.
Shen Linxi's expression said with yearning: "If you have a chance, you should really put all the flowers and wine on the table on the top of the high-rise building." 3. Five friends sit together, enjoy the bright moon, drink flower wine, reminisce about old feelings, and talk about life. ”
He Tianling seemed to be in a good mood: "When you say this, I remember the time when I first started my business. At that time, we had several brothers in the same office, working during the day and sleeping on the floor at night, and we were all busy every day.
After making a list, a few of us bought a bunch of beers and a few cold dishes, and drank them until late at night. Thinking about that time, although it was very tiring, it was very interesting and motivating. ”
He seemed to be caught up in the memories of the past. Shen Linxi looked at him a little pensive, so she stopped talking, she just held the wine glass, sipped it shallowly, and looked at He Tianling with a smile.
He pondered for a moment, then continued: "But then, they all went their separate ways. When everyone is together, there are few scenes when they get drunk until dawn. There was emotion in his words.
Shen Linxi remembered the question she asked before, when he was interrupted because the waiter was serving the food, and He Tianling had not answered. So, she asked again: "Mr. He, have you started working early?" ”
He Tianling nodded: "After I came out of my hometown at the age of eighteen, I went to Shenzhen with a few fellow villagers, first in a decoration company, for four years. During this period, I learned a lot, but I was also unaccustomed to the methods used by many of my peers. So, I left the company later, came out to start my own business, and then as soon as I did it, I did it for so many years, and I experienced all kinds of ups and downs. ”
He said it lightly, but Shen Linxi listened to it with ups and downs. Eighteen years old, twenty-two years of entrepreneurship, after 14 years of hard work, has been firmly in the top spot in the southern home decoration market, among them, he must have experienced countless difficulties and ups and downs. In other words, he is only thirty-six years old this year, but he was born early, so the countless hardships during this period are self-evident.
At this time, Shen Linxi couldn't help but feel a little awe in his eyes when he looked at He Tianling again. He Tianling looked at her serious appearance, and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking?" ”
Shen Linxi said very sincerely: "Mr. He, I really admire you. When I was eighteen years old, I had no worries about food and clothing, and I only knew how to study, but you had already begun to endure the trials and tribulations of life. At the age of twenty-two, many of us may still be moaning without illness, but you have already begun to work your career.
I can't imagine how much hard work there is in this process. However, looking at you, I feel that I was still too comfortable and lacking in the spirit of struggle before. ”
Shen Linxi said, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said, "Mr. He, this glass of wine, I respect you!" ”
He Tianling had been listening to Shen Linxi quietly, and now seeing her move, he also picked up the wine glass and said to Shen Linxi: "You can drink as much as you want." As he spoke, the two raised their glasses and touched each other, He Tianling drank the wine as soon as he could, and Shen Linxi slowly drank all the wine.
Putting down the wine glass, she hurriedly took another sip of tea, and He Tianling asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
Shen Linxi nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that my alcohol consumption is not good, and I will faint if I drink more." ”
He Tianling also said: "My alcohol consumption is not good, if I drink more, I will get drunk." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they chatted while eating. Shen Linxi was originally very talkative, but at the beginning, because she was not familiar with He Tianling, she was still a little restrained. And after chatting for so long, and drinking a little wine, she relaxed and chatted with Fan Lingzhi very well.
He Tianling was not a person of many words, but maybe it was because he had drunk, or maybe because Shen Linxi was a good chat partner, he couldn't help but talk a lot tonight, and he was smiling all the time.
I ate this meal for a long time, until Shen Linxi raised his hand and glanced at his watch, only to find that it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening. He Tianling also glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "Time flies so fast, I haven't talked so much to anyone for a long time." ”
He signaled to the waiter to prepare to pay, and suddenly turned to Shen Linxi and said, "I haven't laughed so much for a long time." ”
He Tianling looked at Shen Linxi's cheeks that had become pink because of drinking, in the soft light, glowing with a delicate luster, her eyes were flowing, looking forward to the brilliance, her beautiful straight nose was pretty and delicate, and her petal-like lips were moist and full, seductive and fragrant.
Shen Linxi was already very beautiful, and now she was like an intoxicating spring wine rippling between her smiles. She is like a flawless piece of warm and beautiful jade, which makes people can't take their eyes off it. He Tianling was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, he felt that his mood was a little strange, and his breathing couldn't help but speed up.
