Chapter 102: Vanity Plays Tricks
After Shen Linxi hung up her mobile phone, she looked out the window through the glass. On the road, there is still a rush of traffic and passers-by, and although you can't hear the sound of the street, the impression reflected in your brain is that there is noise and congestion everywhere.
However, at this moment, her mood is leisurely like a boat carrying a leaf floating on the crowd, relaxed and comfortable. She tapped her fingers lightly on the glass, a reassuring smile rising into the corners of her mouth.
However, her face then became solemn again. Because, today's matter is actually really dangerous, if she doesn't handle it properly, the conspiracy of the black hand behind it may have succeeded, maybe at this moment, this guy is extremely excited waiting for a wonderful play to be staged.
I don't know who is planning and implementing all this? I don't know, will the black hand behind this surface in the future?
Shen Linxi finally met Xing Junfeng one evening a week later. After seven years of absence, Xing Junfeng has really changed a lot. Shen Linxi had such a feeling in her heart when she saw him for the first time.
He was still thin back then, but now he has a small belly. His cheeks glowed, especially his head, giving the impression that he was suffering from chronic overnutrition.
His eyes seemed to be smaller, embedded in his smiling face, more joyful. However, the brand-name casual clothes he wore made him look more handsome than before, and he was more mature.
When Xing Junfeng saw her, his eyes lit up with joy and appreciation. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was Shen Linxi's familiar words of praise: "Linxi, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still so beautiful, and you have more temperament!" You changed your phone back then, and you no longer contacted me, which makes me so sad! You say, should I punish you? ”
Although his words were so, his tone was full of intimacy, which made Shen Linxi really blame himself. Back then, in order to make a complete break with the monk Yuchen, after she changed her mobile phone number, she did not notify some acquaintances, including Xing Junfeng. But now, she has something to ask for his name again, and she feels a little embarrassed.
So, Shen Linxi said happily: "Junfeng, I'm really sorry!" In the second half of my senior year, I lost my phone and all my contacts were gone, so the people who knew my new phone number were the ones I could often see at school. However, if you want to be punished, I will accept it. ”
After speaking, she looked at Xing Junfeng with a smile. In order not to be embarrassed, she still told a small lie, saying that she lost her mobile phone back then.
Xing Junfeng smiled heartily, patted her arm affectionately, and said, "It's too late for me to please you, how dare I punish you?" When you were in school, you didn't know? With that, he stared at her, his eyes shining with a bright and playful light.
Shen Linxi couldn't help but be a little stunned, what is the situation? Could it be that Xing Junfeng wants to revisit his thoughts about himself in the old days? Didn't you take the initiative to send it to the door today? After this thought flashed through Shen Linxi's mind, there was some faint uneasiness in his heart, and some vigilance.
However, her face was still full of smiles: "Hey, that's all old things." Let's be separated for seven years, and it's too late to be happy when we meet again. If you really want to punish me, I don't have any complaints! ”
She was so free and easy, but it made Xing Junfeng a little inconvenient to get close to it. So, he laughed: "Linxi, you are more capable now than when you were in school." Come on, let's sit down and talk while eating. ”
When Shen Linxi heard this, she also smiled and sat down. She looked around at the private room. This private room is luxuriously decorated and very high-grade, and can accommodate more than 10 people. She thought to herself, in fact, Xing Junfeng invited her to dinner, there was really no need to put on such a big show.
Because in the past, some customers also invited Shen Linxi to eat here, so she knew that this restaurant was mainly seafood, and the dishes were very expensive. The hotel only has large-sized private rooms, and there is a minimum consumption amount for each private room fee, and the minimum consumption amount is still very high.
But in fact, she didn't think that the seafood here would make her appetize and admire. However, puzzling enough, this restaurant is notoriously popular. Every time she came, she saw a crowd of people and a constant stream.
Therefore, Shen Linxi sometimes really wonders why so many people love to join in the fun and rush to this place where the price does not match the real thing. Perhaps, this is the so-called drunken gold and materialism! Every time she comes here, she exclaims like this!
Two waitress ladies had already put drinks and a set of cutlery on the table. They took the chopsticks out of the sackcloth bag and placed them on the chopstick pillows. The chopsticks are also engraved with the name of the hotel, and the characters are beautiful and elegant.
The meal seems to have been ordered by Xing Junfeng in advance. Now, under Xing Junfeng's signal, the waiter is well-trained to serve the dishes one by one, and at the same time the name of the dish is reported sweetly, including Australian soft-boiled abalone, American lobster, roasted scallops with garlic, pan-fried wild yellow croaker, sea cucumber soup, Buddha jumping over the wall, abalone juice white spirit mushroom, yellow peach yam, egg tart, durian crisp...... Xing Junfeng also specially ordered the special milk drink and bayberry soup here for her.
So, in front of Shen Linxi's eyes, a gluttonous feast soon appeared that was set up as a beautiful scene. Each dish is like a finely carved work of art, or the shape is unique, or the color is crystal clear, for a while, the dish aroma is rich and mouth-watering.
She wanted to say to Xing Junfeng that there were too many dishes to order, and she couldn't eat them at all, but she still held back the words that had reached the tip of her tongue in time, and just smiled and admired them, because she saw that Xing Junfeng was obviously enjoying the mood of joy at the moment.
And Shen Linxi also knows that some people are happy to order all kinds of big meals, not really for the sake of appetite, but just to consume a kind of satisfaction, a kind of vanity. What's more, she expected that Xing Junfeng ordered such a luxury meal and consumed it with public funds, so why did she disturb his good mood.
And Xing Junfeng's mood was very high at the moment, he sat next to Shen Linxi, kept introducing her to the characteristics of each dish, and kept putting vegetables on the plate in front of her. She wanted to politely decline his enthusiasm, but the smugness of the spring breeze between Xing Junfeng's eyebrows made her silent for a moment, so she let him pile the dishes higher and higher on her plate.
And Xing Junfeng was still urging Shen Linxi to hurry up and taste it while it was hot, lest the temperature be low and lose its original umami. So, she hurriedly ate some so as not to live up to Xing Junfeng's hospitality.
After a while, Shen Linxi found that Xing Junfeng didn't seem to have used chopsticks to eat, but he had already drunk several glasses of white wine in a row, and occasionally a glass of red wine.
She was secretly worried that if she didn't talk about business now, after a while, when Xing Junfeng got drunk and her mind became unconscious, then her trip would be in vain. So, Shen Linxi hurriedly talked to Xing Junfeng about the place where he was requested.
And Xing Junfeng listened to what she said with a smile, and at the same time still beckoned her to eat. After listening to Shen Linxi's concise introduction, Xing Junfeng frowned, and his expression became solemn.
He rubbed his fingers at his temples and stopped talking for a moment, as if lost in thought. Shen Linxi put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the teacup at hand, and quietly looked at Xing Junfeng's expression while drinking tea.
After a moment, Xing Junfeng seemed to come back to his senses from his contemplation. When he saw Shen Linxi looking at him, he said with some difficulty: "Linxi, this matter is really difficult, and it is not easy to do. Now banks have tightened the approval procedures for lending. Moreover, I haven't seen all the documents for the project you mentioned, so I don't know what exactly the problems are affecting the progress of the loan.
However, generally speaking, banks will not deliberately put on hold eligible loan applications for no reason and do not lend for a long time. ”
Shen Linxi looked at Xing Junfeng, whose face looked very sincere, smiled noncommittally, and then said as if relaxed: "Oh, that's it! Then I still tell the client to wait a little longer, or see if he can think of another way to speed up the bank's lending process. ”
When Xing Junfeng heard that Shen Linxi was not anxious and anxious because he said that this matter was difficult, on the contrary, she still had a calm and calm expression. In this way, Xing Junfeng was a little anxious.
So, he continued her words and said: "However, Linxi, didn't you talk about it just now, the bank said that it was because there was a problem with your legal documents, so it asked you to change it, and after you changed it, you handed it in again, and then there was no follow-up."
In that case, won't your client think that it is because of your lawyer's problems that the loan has been delayed? That's not good for you! ”
Shen Linxi frowned helplessly, but still said lightly: "The situation is already like this, and the work of our lawyer team is almost perfect." As for why the banks don't lend money, there is nothing we can do now. If the customer complains, there is no way to do it. Forget it, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. There are many things that I can't rush to get results. ”
As soon as Xing Junfeng heard her say this, he felt that although she was helpless, she had the meaning that it didn't matter whether it was successful or not. This was a big surprise to Xing Junfeng, he thought that Shen Linxi was determined to get the loan, so she would definitely plead with him, so that he could send charcoal in the snow as a benefactor, so that the other party would be grateful to him.
However, the situation seems to be the same as when he chased Shen Linxi in school many years ago, at that time, he had always racked his brains and chased after her, but she just stopped his enthusiasm with a few words.
