106. Be on call
In the evening, she went back to the hotel to change into a light dress before taking a taxi to the restaurant. I heard the sound of the piano fluttering from afar, and when I saw that the time had not arrived at seven o'clock, I saw him sitting in front of the piano when I entered the door.
Are you waiting for her so early? A waiter came up to beckon her to sit down, and she came for several days, obviously the staff already knew her, and the service was also very attentive, and she would personally deliver the food and wine she wanted to take.
As soon as he finished playing, he turned his eyes to the side with feeling, and after making eye contact with her, he got up from the front of the piano and walked towards her.
"May I sit down?" He asked, standing at the table.
Lin Miao shrugged her shoulders and responded indifferently: "Sit down." ”
So he sat down, the food on the table was all for one person, and there was only one wine glass, Lin Miao took a sip of red wine and asked, "Is it okay for you to sit down and eat?" He shook his head: "It's not yet my time to go to work, and I'm free." ”
She glanced up at him, "Then you go get the food, and I'll settle the account." Thinking that he would at least give in, he said "yes" and got up and walked to the food area. There weren't many people who came to dine on Tuesdays, but his long figure was particularly eye-catching, and the occasional young girl would glance at him as he passed by. Lin Miao squinted and watched the passage silently, and when he came over with a plate, the corners of his mouth rose.
On the plate on the table, the food turned out to be the same as hers, the same steak and shrimp, and salmon fillet. Seeing that he was just about to sit down, he deliberately asked, "Don't you want a glass of red wine?" ”
He paused, "I'm going to play later, so I won't drink yet." ”
But Lin Miao beckoned to the waiter, "Please add a glass of red wine to him." Soon a full glass of red wine was served, and when she raised his glass to signal, he finally picked it up.
The crisp sound of ping-pong sounded, Lin Miao drank half a glass of wine with a smile, and when the glass was put down, he saw that he also drank half a glass of red wine, and then said with a drunken eyebrow: "I have already helped you find a few houses, which are generally near the company, I took some photos of the room facilities, you can see if there is anything you like." If you don't like it, I'll help you find it tomorrow. ”
As he spoke, he pushed his phone over, and he had already opened the photo bar. She stretched out her hand to swipe the screen, there were about a dozen photos, and it was estimated that there were three households from the layout, and his private photos popped up in the back. He didn't stop her, so she continued to look through the photos, there were photos of the piano shop, photos of different children learning piano, and photos of the restaurant here, all of which belonged to different dates.
Her hand paused when she jumped to a certain photo, so many photos looked like there was finally a portrait of a person except a child, and it was a girl, the girl had long hair with a shawl, and her eyes were big and beautiful. Although it had been five years, Lin Miao still recognized it as Jiang Xiaoling at a glance.
"This is ......," she asked deliberately.
He glanced at the photo on his mobile phone and explained softly: "That's a student of my piano shop, named Jiang Xiaoling, who is the oldest of those students. ”
Jiang Xiaoling learning piano? That girl is the master who has done it twice when she sees her, will she be able to calm down and learn the piano?
Sure enough, I heard him say: "I gave up after studying for half a year." "I'm afraid it's because she's looking at his phone photos, whether she minds or not to make things clear first, this may be the most clever way to clear up the relationship.
Lin Miao took a bite of steak, and seemed to be careless, but in fact, she said with deep meaning: "This Jiang Xiaoling should have more than such a shallow relationship with you." ”
After only a moment of silence, he nodded and confessed: "It's true that she likes me." ”
This answer finally made Lin Miao really stunned and raised her eyebrows, and then squinted her eyes and asked, "Jiang Xiaoling likes you?" "Just now she wanted him to provoke Jiang Xiaoling's reaction after the car accident five years ago, even if he has amnesia, then he is not a missing person, according to Chen Bin's statement, he witnessed the scene of his car accident, obviously the person who sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment was Chen Bin. Therefore, during that period of coma, several people who were closest to him must have been there, including Jiang Xiaoling.
So she thought that Jiang Xiaoling's temper would definitely tell the past bluntly, pestering him to tell the story of his brother and sister, but she didn't expect it to be another answer. No, she felt that something had been ignored, and his reaction at the moment seemed to be that Jiang Xiaoling had not looked for him, but as if he was approaching with a new identity, and finally retreated.
There was nothing to avoid, she asked bluntly: "Before this, did you know Jiang Xiaoling?" ”
His eyes were as deep as the sea, and he said, "Lin Miao, in fact, you don't have to care so much. Jiang Xiaoling is just one of my students, and the reason why her photo appears on my phone is because every student who takes the exam is somewhat nervous before entering the examination room, and uses the way to take pictures to relieve their pressure. ”
Lin Miao was silent, and still insisted on asking after a while: "Before she came to you to learn to play the piano, did you really not know her?" ”
Helpless, he reached over and grabbed her hand, "How are you going to believe me?" ”
lowered his eyes and glanced at his broad palm, and asked instead of answering: "Then what about Chen Bin and Ye Feifei, do you know them?" Seeing that his face was stunned, he hesitated before saying: "Even if you know, they have come to me separately, saying that I used to be their boss, but I have no impression of them." ”
"Didn't you see them when you woke up after the car accident that year?"
A strange expression appeared on his face, which made Lin Miao feel inexplicable, and after a while he said: "When I woke up from my coma, I remember that I had a strange dream, in which someone wanted to harm me, and if I didn't escape, I would be burned to death." ”
At this time, Lin Miao could no longer control her stunned emotions: "What do you mean...... Did you wake up after many days of coma and ran away alone? ”
Sure enough, I saw him nod, "I didn't have any other thoughts at that time, there was only one thought in my mind - go, go immediately, if you don't leave, it's too late." So I secretly ran away from the hospital, and after half a year, you said that Ye Feifei found me first. It's the JM Group that you work for now, and you say I'm the founder of that group, and everyone is waiting for me to go back. ”
"Why don't you go back? With hundreds of millions of assets and net worth, isn't it better than playing the piano for others? Lin Miao asked urgently.
And he responded: "Zifei is not a fish, and he knows the joy of fish." ”
It means that he likes the job he is doing now, and even if someone offers some group of hands, it is not enough to attract him.
Lin Miao was silent, and she was roughly able to sort it out, which explained why Chen Bin and Ye Feifei were reluctant to come forward in person; And Jiang Xiaoling, she took a deep breath, this Jiang Xiaoling was afraid that he was interested in him very early, but at that time, his aura was strong enough to oppress the thoughts of other girls, so that people didn't dare to mention it.
In contrast, at this time, whether he compares it with the original in terms of aura and tone of speech, he can only describe it in four words.
It's a world of difference.
Jiang Xiaoling's hurdle was temporarily revealed, and she only said: "I don't ask much of you, at least you don't have these messy relationships between men and women during our contract." ”
He immediately nodded: "Yes." But then he changed his tone and asked, "Does that mean that this rule also restricts you?" ”
Lin Miao's hand paused slightly, raised his eyes, and saw that he was staring at him with burning eyes, "Of course, contracts are naturally mutually restrictive." But he asked, "Is that because you didn't interact with that person in this period?" ”
She's the one? His eyes crossed the ring on his ring finger, and he said with a smile: "I am different from you, he is my husband, we are legally married husband and wife, and we have the obligation to fulfill each other's husband and wife behavior during marriage." What I can promise you is to do anything other than the marriage relationship, and to make sure that there will be no new goals until the relationship ends with you. ”
Seeing that his eyebrows frowned and relaxed, "Then sign the agreement." ”
I can't help but be surprised, did he agree? "Are you in a hurry to sign it?"
He shook his phone and said, "It's almost eight o'clock soon, it's time for me to go to work and play, and I'm so relieved to finish signing early." ”
Lin Miao smiled, making sure that he was really in a hurry to sign the agreement and wanted to confirm the relationship. Without twisting, he took out the two agreements in the briefcase he brought, pushed them in front of him and knocked on the table twice, "Look at the terms above, if there is anything to add and propose, you can say it, just make up at the bottom if you reach an agreement." ”
When the agreement came out in the afternoon, there was a kind of banter, and one day she would take care of this person, whether he was called Lu Mian or Joe, it was an incredible thing. I also thought that maybe it was just a joke, but he didn't dare to sign the agreement when it came time to propose it. It can be seen that after reading the clause carefully, he only said: "I have no opinion on the rest, can I just add the article I proposed just now?" ”
Lin Miao shrugged, "You make it up." ”
So he raised his pen and wrote, looking attentive and serious. A person can forget something, but a habit that has been established is not lost, like this handwriting. It is said that seeing words is like a person, he is not like others to write dragons and phoenixes, each stroke has edges and bones, and the words written are beautiful and vigorous.
After adding the terms, he turned to the last page and signed it, and it was signed by Lu Mian.
The two agreements were pushed in front of Lin Miao, and the pen was handed over from mid-air, and she took it for a moment, quickly leaving her name. But when the last stroke fell, looking at the neat words "Lu Mian" and "Lin Miao", I was inexplicably stunned.
In those years, forgotten in the dust, they often scribbled a cartoon, and then laughed and wrote their names in the corners of the drawing paper, and they also wrote two lines up and down like this agreement, neatly opposite each other.
The restaurant manager came over and bent down slightly to greet Lin Miao: "Madam, I wish you a happy meal." Then he said to him, "Mr. Lu, can you start your performance tonight?" "It was exactly eight o'clock.
He got up, his eyes crossed Lin Miao's face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, not forgetting the agreement that took him away.
The music he played that night was cheerful and bright, which added joy to the whole restaurant, and occasionally the guests who passed by the restaurant were happy, stopped for a moment and walked into the door and sat down, and the restaurant manager was overjoyed.
Lin Miao stared at his silhouette and her thoughts drifted, as if she was gradually accepting his amnesia. There is no belief or disbelief, but accept the status quo, he is an ordinary pianist, with a salary of several thousand a month, just like when she first met Lu Mian, they are ordinary people.
His eyes fell back to the agreement on the table, and he couldn't help but laugh. Similar things often happen in the city, where the young rich lady falls in love with the good-looking little fresh meat and invests some money to find each other's happiness. If it's happiness, why bother?
Lu Mian's brows furrowed deeply when his eyes turned to the vacant seat again, he just saw her get up, thinking that she was going to the bathroom, but after such a long time, he didn't see her come back, and then he saw that the handbag that was still on the seat was gone.
I didn't have the heart to play the piano anymore, so I got up and walked to the door, and Manager Liu hurriedly came over to ask, "Mr. Lu, what's going on?" ”
"Where is the lady I dined with, do you know?"
Manager Liu turned his head blankly, and the waiter next to him told him that he had just been asked by the lady to take the bag, and she had already checked out and left. When Lu Mian heard this, he raised his feet and left, and Manager Liu was stunned for two seconds before he reacted: "Mr. Lu, what should I do with the performance in the back?" ”
Without looking back, he dropped a sentence: "You can do it yourself." ”
When I walked out of the door of the hotel, I looked left and right, but I couldn't see Lin Miao's figure, could she really leave alone? took out her mobile phone and dialed her number, and the music of "the wind and snow for the rest of your life is your ......" came from behind her, and when she turned around, Lin Miao sat on the flower stand and looked at him with a smile holding her mobile phone in her hand. His eyes narrowed slightly: "Why did you come out?" ”
I heard her say in a tsundere tone: "It's too dull inside, come out and breathe." Why, someone left many listeners and ran out, was they afraid that I would run away? The corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but laugh.
This woman, even if he looked at her condescendingly at this time, his momentum was actually not stronger than her. And the spring breeze between her eyebrows and eyes added interest to this mysterious night.
I saw her pointing to the hotel, "Eh, Manager Liu chased him out, aren't you going to finish your work tonight?" ”
Following the direction of her finger, sure enough, he saw Manager Liu of the restaurant visiting behind the glass door, and he lowered his head to confirm: "Will you wait for me?" She said, "If the moonlight here is always so good, you can consider it." ”
I can't help laughing, where is the moon tonight, isn't this talking nonsense with her eyes open, but she should be right.
"Then you wait for me, I'll come out soon." He turned around and walked back to the hotel.
The restaurant is located on the second floor of the hotel lobby, and the performance area is located next to a row of floor-to-ceiling windows. Lin Miao looked up and saw that a window was pushed open from the inside, and the handsome figure of the man paused at the window before sitting down in front of the piano, so the graceful sound of the piano came again, it was a new song that she didn't know.
Halfway through the song, she got up from the flower platform, summoned the taxi that had been waiting for a long time, gave a thumbs up to the man upstairs, got into the carriage with a smile, and walked away.
After the agreement is signed, she is his employer, how can there be an employer and other employees, he should be taught the first lesson.
When I returned to the hotel, it was almost nine o'clock, and I thought his phone would be chased immediately, but when she came out after washing, the phone was silent and there was no movement. Okay, learn to stand still.
It was almost one o'clock in the morning, she flipped out her phone and sent a text message, just two simple words: Come here.
There is a clear clause in the agreement: he must obey unconditionally and be on call.
If you don't want to make things too difficult for him, and you want to add a time limit before, you can consider it next time, ten minutes should be enough for him to take a taxi. You can also agree on one, and the money will be deducted if you are late!
As he pondered, there was a soft knock on the door.
