Chapter Twenty-Nine: Aoki Tsukika
Make a wish to land in Deer City.
is 1.9 meters tall, looks sunny, has a mighty figure, looks like a star Lu Yi, always a cynical look, and doesn't care about anything or anyone.
This is a label that stands out for making a wish.
He has two hobbies: one is to be brave and ruthless, in his words, don't make noise if you can do it. But he doesn't bully the weak, and the ones who do it are all young people with gold chains around their necks, dragons on their chests, tigers on their backs, and small muscles on their arms, which, in his words, releases their souls in the fierce confrontation between flesh and blood.
The second hobby is pickling girls, and when I was in college, I changed girlfriends every week.
These two hobbies are unlikely to be dragons and phoenixes, and Old Man Xu was very disappointed, and the relationship between father and son broke down for a while. Wishing once vowed not to enter the family business, to set up his own door, to achieve a great cause. But this time I came to Lucheng for the family business, and I was in charge of the business of Xu's Real Estate Lucheng Company.
He called when he got off the plane and said he was coming with a friend.
"You all know each other." He said.
"Lin Wei?" I asked.
"If it's Lin Wei, use me to call you! David took her to Bali. ”
I couldn't guess who it was for a long time, so I said, "I heard Zi Xuan say that when you come back from Africa, you won't bring back an African bison!" ”
"You and Zixuan go to the sea after work and get lost in the 1843 vegetable boat, we'll see you there!" After making a wish, hang up the phone.
There is still a moment left before the end of work.
The afternoon sun is warm, the small garden exudes the smell of lush vegetation, the dead grass is like the Buddha's light returning to the green, and the neat holly around the artificial mound has just been watered, and the leaves are green and shiny.
The sky is as blue as a wash, the setting sun is setting among the trees, and a garden of spring is shrouded in birds flying under the pergolas.
Spring brings everything to life.
Seven p.m. Lost at sea in the 1843 Caifang Xijiang Moon private room.
Zixuan and I hugged and made a wish, and beat each other "painfully", and after the joy was finished, the wish said to introduce us to a friend, and there was a girl sitting on the sofa.
"Miyu!" Zixuan exclaimed.
That's right! The friend who made a wish was Guan Hai's female translator Miyu.
Wishing said that it was his girlfriend when he introduced Miyu, and I thought I had heard it wrong, but after seeing Miwa smile and acquiesce, I realized that it wasn't a joke.
Wishing gave a brief explanation of this relationship: "Although Miyu and I are swimming against the current, we are consensual. ”
As he spoke, Miwa snuggled to his side affectionately.
We chatted excitedly about the old days and what happened to each other after graduation.
Make a wish that you don't make news, let's do business together, and make your own news when you have money.
I asked Wish: "Didn't you swear not to enter the family business, how did you figure it out, it wouldn't be that the old man wants to train you to be your successor?" ”
Zixuan's eyes lit up and said: "If you want to be the chairman, we will immediately defect to you, one will be the CEO, the other will be the CFO, and it will not be far from Ma Yun!" ”
Xu Yuanmeng drank a glass of wine, frowned and said, "I really didn't plan to join the company, but I was unwilling." ”
A few months ago, he made a wish to return to China and found that his stepmother had given birth to a boy for his father, and his status as the male heir of the Xu Group was shaken again, and his father's attitude towards him plummeted, completely ignoring his existence except for occasionally giving some money.
People are like this, when they have love, they will squander it and not cherish it.
But love will eventually disappear or transfer with "birth, old age, sickness, death and hatred", and once lost, you will know the preciousness of love.
In the wish view, the father has not only lost his sexual ability, but has been shaken into a sieve by the cow stepmother over the years, and it is impossible to have the ability to create people.
The old man gave an ultimatum to make a wish, either to cut off his small treasury, or to decentralize the Lucheng branch, and then consider whether to transfer back to the headquarters after qualifying.
As for who will be in charge of Xu's Real Estate Group in the future, the old man did not reveal it at all. If you lose your financial resources, it will be difficult to continue your two hobbies.
Fights need money to settle troubles, and pickled girls need money to pay for them. He had no choice but to give in.
Xu Yuan is the vice president of Xu's Real Estate Lucheng Branch, mainly in charge of marketing and training. He usually doesn't seem to be doing his job, but a smart person is very good when he "goes astray".
I've been to his company a few times.
Once he was training employees, and a group of sales ladies sat in the venue, making a wish while demonstrating PPT, and said: "Sales strategy is very important, you have to learn to use the event to hype." Ask everyone a question, what do rich people like? ”
Whispers below, all kinds of voices responded.
"Stay in the villa!" "Buy a brand!" "Drive a luxury car!" "Traveling abroad!" "Flirtatious beauty!" ……
Wishing smiled and waved his hand: "The relatives are right, but they are too straightforward." To sell a house, you must learn the language of packaging. Rich people like a lot of things, which can be summed up in two sentences, enjoy life and pay attention to quality! ”
Applause below, he continued: "For the sales lady, the important thing is not to use the customer's 10 million as 10 million, but how to turn the customer's 10 million into a dollar. As long as the quality of our house is raised to the best height, what are you afraid of? Mineral water sells for one dollar in supermarkets, thirty in five-star hotels, and for the rich, of course, they have to buy the most expensive things in the most prestigious places. A house developed for 100,000 yuan, and you only sell it for 1 million, is to slap the nobleman in the face with a bean bag, an insult! Insult the personality and face of the nobility! ”
At this time, a sales lady asked: "What should customers do if they find that the quality of the house is not so high in the future?" ”
Wishing smiled and looked around the venue and said: "Milk and melamine, on the surface, are to increase protein, but after drinking it, I know that I am becoming an idiot." Even if they find out that the quality of the house is not so high, who among the nobles wants to declare themselves idiots to the public? ”
The audience stood up and applauded enthusiastically.
In just a few days, Wishing has handled a lot of previously hard-to-sell houses for the company.
I went to his office for tea.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of the high-rise office, he made a wish and looked around at the city buildings and said: "Everything is fake, I used to think that my father was very good, and I only knew what bubble real estate was when I came in, and I took out so many loans." It may soar into the sky, or it may go bankrupt overnight, the daughter will be scattered, and the beauty will fly away......"
He lit a cigarette, his black tie hung casually around his neck, the watch on his wrist shone brightly, shining on his cheeks, and the fragile color of youth faded on his face, and began to show the imprint of life.
Making a wish to come to Lucheng took up all the free time of me and Zixuan.
Once Meng woke up and called to say something, I was playing a roller coaster with a wish, a noisy crowd, a fear of heights, and a woman's screaming in the sky, so I had to hang up in a hurry.
It happened that Taili organized reporters to participate in the provincial and Taiwan excellent news selection, and seeing that the deadline was about to be closed, I had to take out a weekend to work overtime.
I coped with it "oh oh", remembering that it was the Jiang Shan I met when I had dinner with Zhao Junqing last time.
I asked him, "Is there something wrong?" ”
He said, "It's nothing, friends should get together more." ”
When he was hesitating, Jiang Shan said: "Then it's decided, see you tonight, I also made an appointment with Miss Liu Nannan." ”
went to a high-end restaurant for a banquet in the evening, and found that Liu Nannan did not go, and Jiang Shan sat alone in the private room.
called Liu Nannan, she said that she was not coming if she had something, let me have a good meal with Jiang Shan, this person is worth befriending.
At the dinner table, Jiang Shan was talking most of the time, and I occasionally politely interjected a sentence or two.
He is very talkative, can talk about everything from food culture to media anecdotes, and is always full of smiles and deep laugh lines under his eyes.
In the middle of the meal, he had a call, the phone was very loud, and a coquettish female voice came out: "Everyone is in a hurry, how long will it take." ”
Jiang Shan: "I'm having a banquet for VIPs, and I'll go over after dinner." ”
He put down the phone, and I asked, "Your daughter?" ”
He laughed and said, "What a daughter, it's a girlfriend!" Makes you laugh. ”
At the end of the dinner, he said that he would put millions of new advertisements on our TV station this year, and asked me to go back and talk to Liu Nannan, and we would contact him.
I said, "Okay, I'll tell her when I go back." ”
As soon as he left, I forgot about it and didn't take it seriously.
The next day, I met Liu Nannan in the office, she said that she was looking for me for something, and mysteriously pulled me to the small garden.
Liu Nannan was jumping on the grass, her face was crimson, and she said: "Mr. Jiang placed advertisements on our station, more than 4 million, half of the commission for each of us, and more than 300,000 yuan for each person." ”
I was taken aback, and after making sure that Liu Nannan was not joking, he said: "He contacted you, nothing to do with me." ”
Liu Nannan said with a straight face: "I didn't go because I had something, you went on behalf of the two of us." ”
I said, "He didn't mention it at dinner." It was in passing at the end that I thought he would say it casually. ”
"The big boss is full of words, can he still do business with empty cannons casually? It's decided, I won't talk to you, and when the time comes, you will invite me to dinner. Liu Nannan opened his arms and spun around a few times, then closed his eyes and raised his head and shouted, "I'm rich!" ”
Luckily, there were just the two of us in the small garden. A few birds hiding in the grass flew to the eaves with a "hula" sound.
Liu Nannan had my salary card number, and soon, 300,000 yuan was added to the account.
Suddenly there was an extra sum of money, and I felt a little uneasy, and when I invited Liu Nannan to dinner, I took out 100,000 cash and wanted to give it to her.
She looked at me in surprise and said, "What do you mean?" Commercial bribery? ”
I said, "I always feel that this money is too easy to make, and my heart is not steady." ”
She looked at me and laughed, "Out of breath! Those who won the lottery except for those who fought for property and killed each other, I have not heard of anyone being burned to death with money. Don't be verbose, hurry up and treat me to something delicious. She picked up the recipe and looked at it.
looked at Liu Nannan, who was ordering seriously, and felt a little moved in my heart, this move was not because she made me make money, but on the issue of money, it is difficult for someone to be as righteous as her.
Speaking of money, I think of Lu Jiaqi, he must not have a good time in Beijing, and he wants to take the time to call Lin Wei and ask her to take care of it more.
Halfway through dinner with Liu Nannan, I received a call from Meng Wake. I suddenly remembered that she called a few days ago, and I was playing a roller coaster with Wish, and the scene was too chaotic to hang up without saying a few words.
At this time, she hurriedly picked it up, and she hesitated and said, "Are you busy?" ”
I got up and walked outside and said, "Not busy, not busy, where are you?" ”
"I just finished working overtime," she said. ”
When I heard her say that she had just finished working overtime, I guessed that she must not have eaten, so I said, "Then I'll take you to eat later." ”
She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs at the city bureau." ”
After the bank robbery, my relationship with Meng Xing has not been far away, and that meeting Zhang Shuai at her house caught me off guard.
When the wish came, I barely had time to think about her.
After hanging up the phone and going back to the room, a table of dishes had already been served, Liu Nannan was eating with his head bored, and said without raising his head: "Are you going on a date?"
I rubbed my hands together and said, "Just an ordinary friend, looking for something about me." ”
She said: "Hey, what do you dare not admit, you know that it is a woman when you are happy, hurry up, I will eat it myself slowly." ”
I said gratefully, "You can see it, then I'll go!" ”
She shouted behind her back, "Don't forget to settle the bill, I didn't bring my wallet!" ”
When I came out of the hotel and looked up at the sky, it was a sunny night.
A full moon is half-hidden in the clouds, disappearing with the rapidly moving clouds. A light layer of moonlight fell silently on the ground, and on the distant sky, a few stars dotted around the moon, flashing with silver light. From time to time, the spotlights on the TV tower sweep towards the edge of the city, drawing a small straight line in the sky and extending into the distance, but the light does not travel far before it is absorbed by the night sky and disappears without a trace.
The whole sky is deep blue in the moonlight, and the air smells of verdant vegetation growing in spring, making the breath and mood extremely pure.
The car drove to the gate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Meng Xing was standing in the small garden downstairs of the Municipal Bureau in civilian clothes, and I honked her horn to call her.
Meng Xing got into the car and held his hands, with a cool breath on his body.
She wore a floral cotton skirt, long cotton socks, and a pair of white light-waisted sneakers on her feet, like a college student.
I started the car and turned on the heater.
She saw my eyes scanning her back and forth, and said, "Are you laughing at me?" ”
I said, "No, you're dressed beautifully, not like a police officer." ”
She pursed her lips and smiled: "Not like a police officer, like what?" ”
I stared at her for a few seconds and said, "Like first love!" ”
She stretched out her hand and put my face forward and said, "Journalists are going to talk a lot!" ”
"Didn't anyone say you were beautiful?"
"Who dares to talk nonsense to the police?"
"Only journalists dare to tell the truth!"
"Nonsense!" She said disdainfully.
"However, what I said just now has nothing to do with my career, it's just a man's sincere words!" I said it seriously.
Drive the car all the way to Wutong Square in Binhe District.
I took off my coat and put it on her, and said, "I'll take you somewhere." ”
Dragged her across the plaza into the stone alley that led to the Aoki house.
The vines began to turn blue on the walls on both sides of the stone alley, and the pebbles beneath their feet were white and flawless in the moonlight. Along the alley behind the stone wall blooming spring flowers, white magnolias, the flower branches lie on a high place, under the moon to show a light yellow, white, some petals are blown off by the wind, scattered in the middle of the pebbles, the stone lane dyed into a path between flowers, under the moonlight, we seem to be walking towards the mysterious and holy temple of beauty.
This wonderful sight was something I didn't expect. Although I often come to Aokiya for supper, I have never caught such a beautiful moment.
Meng Xing walked slowly in front of me, she looked at the flower branches sticking out of the wall, stepped on the broken shadow she left on the cobblestones, turned around, and walked backwards.
The silver light shone on her body, and the night gave her a magical color, and she seemed to be walking in an incredible dream.
At the end of the stone alley, two orange-red lanterns reflect the three words "Aoki House", looking from afar, the Aoki House looks like an idyllic wonderland in the bustling city, and it is as light as water in the poetic and picturesque sense.
There weren't many guests in Aokiya this night, and Yueniang greeted me and Meng Xing warmly.
The two of us sat down on a wooden table in the corner and ordered a steamed casserole stew, two soups, stir-fried vegetables in vinegar and fried pomfret with ginger. After serving, Yueniang leaned against the back of the bar and dozed off against the charcoal fireplace.
In the middle of the room, a blue chandelier hangs on a bronze wooden pillar, emitting a halo of blue light. Next to us is a large window inlaid with floor-to-ceiling glass, and outside the window, several tall and straight French plane trees stand upright in the courtyard, the trees have begun to sprout, and the green branches are faintly visible.
A few flowering magnolia trees clustered around the sycamores, and the moon hid over the staggered treetops, and a piece of moonlight poured down through the glass into the house. Meng Xing's sitting position happened to be shrouded in moonlight, and under the light blue light, the moonlight cast a silver-gray light on her face, like sitting in a water moon painting.
I looked at Meng Xing, a little distracted.
As long as she doesn't wear a police uniform, that majestic and tough temperament disappears from her, and when she sits quietly in the corner, she will become a weak girl, holding her cheeks, occasionally in a daze, curious, and sometimes ignorant in her eyes.
When the casserole stew is uncovered, it is steaming hot.
"Kanto stew?" Meng Xing smelled the smell and said.
"You'll know if you taste it." I say.
Meng Xing ate two small bowls in a row, and she blew while eating and said, "This casserole stew tastes different from the stew in the Northeast." ”
I asked her, "Which one is delicious?" ”
She thought for a moment and said, "It's all delicious." ”
I said, "This is a stew that blends the north and the south, and the ingredients and raw materials are all brought from the south, and only the vegetables and thin strips of meat are from the north." Yueniang is a southerner, born in the northeast, and her cooking is a combination of north and south. ”
She didn't speak, she lowered her head and pulled the rice into her mouth.
I smiled and said, "Don't just eat rice, didn't you just say that the food is delicious?" ”
Meng Xing stopped his chopsticks and swallowed the rice in his mouth, still half-bowing his head.
I leaned forward: "Take a sip of soup, the soup here is good." ”
She didn't speak, and I asked as soon as I felt a pang in my heart, "What's wrong?" ”
She raised her head and smiled at me and said: "I remember when I was a child, my parents supported the construction outside the gates, my mother often stewed, there was no electricity at that time, the whole family ate in the moonlight, and my mother always left the meat for me and my father to eat every time, she said that women are too fat and not beautiful, in fact, she herself is so thin that she walks and trembles." ”
I said, "Mom is reluctant to eat." ”
Meng Xing nodded and said, "Well, I won't understand until I grow up." ”
I smiled and said, "It's not simple, we will buy meat every day in the future, go home, let my aunt make stew, she eats meat, we eat vegetables!" Eat her into a big fat man! ”
She laughed, looked at me and said, "You're the big fat man!" Stupid, it's healthy to eat more vegetables now. ”
After speaking, she suddenly stopped laughing, looked at me in a daze, and in an instant, big tears welled up in her eyes, because she was afraid of crying, she stubbornly pursed her lips, and her body trembled slightly in the best control.
I couldn't figure out why she was crying.
She turned her head to look out the window and whispered, "My mother is long gone." ”
Seeing her sad appearance, I felt sad, was silent for a while, stretched out my arm and held one of her hands in the palm of my hand, and said firmly: "Don't feel bad, I will take care of you in the future, protect you, and don't let you suffer a little grievance!" ”
