Chapter 494: The Angry Secretary (Additional Chapter)
In the corner of the room is a row of bookshelves filled with books.
It turns out that Qiao Luoxin still likes to read?
I don't see that at all.
At this time, Xu Xiuwen's eyes were attracted by a notebook on the table.
If there is quality, people may not just flip through a girl's notebook.
But sorry.
Xu Xiuwen has no quality.
So he just took the notebook in his hand and flipped through it.
After Xu Xiuwen glanced at it, there was a lot of content about coffee recorded on it.
Flipped two pages at random.
Xu Xiuwen even saw a hand-drawn sketch of a coffee shop design.
He took a closer look.
Some of the coffee shops in the sketch refer to the design of well-known coffee shops such as Xingbake, but they are not exactly the same, and there are many unique and innovative designs.
There is more than one sketch of a coffee shop.
Xu Xiuwen casually flipped back a few more pages.
There are also a few sketches.
The design details of each one are different, but the overall style is relatively close.
It can be seen that it is the work of the same person.
Further back, there's a lot more.
For example, Xu Xiuwen saw at a glance the precautions for stepping on the pit when opening a coffee shop.
Xu Xiuwen didn't read word by word.
After a rough look.
Xu Xiuwen felt that the reality was really amazing.
He was planning to open a coffee shop.
God, as if arranged, sent a suitable person to him.
If Xu Xiuwen doesn't cherish it, he is sorry for God's arrangement.
Then Xu Xiuwen put down the notebook and walked out of the room.
Qiao Luoxin's coffee making has just reached the last step.
Qiao Luoxin is holding a milk jar in his right hand and a cup in his left hand, and he is working on latte art.
Soon.
A classic swan figure emerges on the surface of the coffee.
"Okay, what do you think?"
Qiao Luoxin put the cup in front of Xu Xiuwen.
"It's a good pull, it's professional. Can I drink it now? ”
"Yes."
Xu Xiuwen unceremoniously picked up the cup and took a sip directly.
"How's it taste?"
"Yay!" Xu Xiuwen gave a thumbs up.
Qiao Luoxin couldn't help but laugh.
When she laughed, the cold and ascetic temperament on her body finally dissipated a little.
Xu Xiuwen took another sip, then he put down the cup and said, "I went to your room just now." ”
"Hmm." Qiao Luoxin didn't care.
Xu Xiuwen continued: "You have a notebook on your desk, and I accidentally saw the contents inside. ”
Qiao Luoxin didn't speak this time, and looked at Xu Xiuwen levelly.
"I've seen the sketches you drew for the coffee shop design too."
"You see?"
"Well, honestly, it's really good, I want to go straight to your design."
"Yes, you can use it if you like."
"Aren't you angry that I used your design?"
"Why are you angry, the coffee shop I designed has someone who likes it, I should be happy."
Qiao Luoxin is right, but not everyone will be like this, and some people will feel that this is plagiarized inspiration and will be very disgusted.
Seeing that Qiao Luoxin was not disgusted, Xu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief.
When he was looking for a decoration company, he would find a designer to help design it.
Now he looked at Qiao Luoxin's sketch.
He thought some of the designs were good.
It would be nice if your own coffee shop followed the sketches.
"Wait a minute."
Qiao Luoxin said suddenly, and then turned around and walked to the room.
Xu Xiuwen walked to the sofa in the living room with a cup and sat down.
Qiao Luoxin came out of the room again at this time.
She still had the notebook in her hand.
"What's your favorite?"
Qiao Luoxin turned the pages with sketches in front of Xu Xiuwen.
"What about you?"
"What?"
"What's your favorite?"
"Wasn't I asking you?"
"That's right, but I can just leave you alone and ask you, right?"
Xu Xiuwen and Qiao Luoxin's eyes collided in the air.
Immediately, Qiao Luoxin took a step back and said, "Then let's talk about it together." ”
"I think so."
“3…… 2…… 1……”
"I love this one!"
"I love this one!"
Xu Xiuwen and Qiao Luoxin happened to point to different pages of the same sheet.
"You like this?" Qiao Luoxin asked in surprise.
The coffee shop in the sketch Xu Xiuwen chose.
The overall color palette is dominated by black and white, with black polka dots and lines running through the entire wall of the main body of the coffee shop, and the matte black chandelier on the top of the coffee shop blends naturally into the background.
Because of the black and white color scheme, the whole restaurant looks simple and clean.
The temperament of the coffee shop matches Qiao Luoxin's temperament very well.
And the coffee shop in the sketch that Qiao Luoxin chose.
The coffee shop as a whole is bright and simple, with a warm temperament.
The highlight of the café is that the main wall of the café is decorated with thousands of white ceramic coffee cups.
The design sketch Xu Xiuwen chose.
It's not that Qiao Luoxin doesn't like it.
If I didn't like her, I wouldn't have designed it.
It's just that many of the designs on that picture, even she, the designer, feels that they are a little too advanced, and it may be difficult for ordinary people to accept.
】
So she chose a bright and warm style coffee shop that is more acceptable and more mainstream.
But I didn't expect Xu Xiuwen to like that.
In fact, the coffee shop in that sketch is also her favorite.
The two pointed to different design sketches.
Xu Xiuwen sighed, "Do you like this one?" I thought we'd have a good idea, but don't you think this one is interesting? I love the design above. ”
Qiao Luoxin glanced at Xu Xiuwen.
She couldn't be sure if Xu Xiuwen really liked it, or if she deliberately chose the one she liked the most.
But how did he know which one he liked best?
It seems that there is still a lot of heart.
Qiao Luoxin pondered for a while and said, "That one is also very good, if you like it, you can use it." ”
"Really? You're welcome? Did I really use it? ”
"Hmm."
"What about the design fee?"
"No design fees."
"Then you're welcome. I decided, and my coffee shop was renovated according to this design sketch. ”
Xu Xiuwen smiled happily.
Then Xu Xiuwen chatted with Qiao Luoxin for a long time.
From the process of applying for the relevant documents such as the café's industrial and commercial, tax, health permit, etc., and related expenses.
to the expertise of coffee making, the equipment for coffee making, and a variety of coffee products.
to the selection of decoration companies, personnel recruitment, etc.
Qiao Luoxin's answer was perfect.
also made Xu Xiuwen trust her a little more.
Xu Xiuwen already believed it at this moment.
Qiao Luoxin is the talent given to him by God to open a coffee shop.
The two had a great conversation.
Qiao Luoxin, who doesn't like to laugh very much, also shows a smile from time to time.
In the blink of an eye, it was six o'clock in the evening.
It's time to eat.
Qiao Luoxin offered to invite him to dinner at home.
Xu Xiuwen was not polite, so he stayed.
After dinner, Xu Xiuwen discussed more matters with Qiao Luoxin.
Until late at night.
Xu Xiuwen left Qiao Luoxin's house.
What Xu Xiuwen didn't know was.
He left on the front foot.
On the back foot, there was a knock on the door of Qiao Luoxin's house.
After Qiao Luoxin opened the door, she saw her cousin standing outside the door, and asked with some surprise, "Cousin, why are you here?" ”
Qiao Yumin smiled, "What, I'm afraid I'll disturb the world between you and Mr. Xu?" Don't worry, I saw him go and I came up. ”
Qiao Luoxin suddenly rolled his eyes angrily, "Cousin, what are you talking nonsense." ”
"Hehe, I'm not talking nonsense."
Qiao Luoxin frowned and said, "Cousin, if you talk nonsense again, I'll be really angry." ”
Seeing Qiao Luoxin frowning, Qiao Yumin changed his words, "Okay, then I won't talk about it." ”
Qiao Luoxin's brows eased a little.
"Xu Xiuwen and I have been discussing business. I've decided to join his coffee shop. ”
……
Xu Xiuwen didn't know that Qiao Yumin left on his front foot, and came to Qiao Luoxin's house on the back foot.
In the days that followed.
Xu Xiuwen first found a professional design company, which revised and improved Qiao Luoxin's design sketch.
Then I found a good local decoration team.
After the construction materials, the cost estimation of the decoration team, the negotiation, and the selection of furniture are all discussed
The renovation team has started the official renovation.
At this time, Xu Xiuwen returned to Jinling.
As for the work of supervision, it fell to Qiao Luoxin.
Xu Xiuwen has not signed a contract with Qiao Luoxin for the time being.
Naturally, she was not paid a salary.
Others may not accept it, but Qiao Luoxin readily agreed.
Xu Xiuwen was also very relieved that Qiao Luoxin was supervising the construction.
Xu Xiuwen took the afternoon train back to Jinling.
It was past 3 o'clock when he came out of the train station.
Then Xu Xiuwen went back to Jiangning Flower Garden first, took a bath, and changed his clothes.
It's almost time later.
Xu Xiuwen drove to pick up his secretary Lu Xinyao.
Although I haven't seen Lu Xinyao for several days.
But Xu Xiuwen was not so hungry that he would do anything to Lu Xinyao as soon as he came back.
He went to Lu Xinyao for dinner in the evening.
There is no other selfishness.
Drive to the community where the company dormitory is located.
Lu Xinyao was already waiting at the gate of the community.
Xu Xiuwen parked the car smoothly in front of Lu Xinyao.
At this time, he also took the opportunity to take a look.
Lu Xinyao was wearing a long black dress, her long silky hair was scattered over her shoulders, her face was ruddy, and her charm was compelling.
Lu Xinyao opened the passenger door and sat in.
Xu Xiuwen did not hesitate to send praise: "Xin Yao, you look so good today." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for the compliment."
I haven't seen you for a few days.
Lu Xinyao began to become distant again, although she spoke in a calm tone, she always gave people a sense of distance.
Xu Xiuwen stared at Lu Xinyao for a while, and suddenly asked, "Xinyao, are you fat?" ”
Lu Xinyao immediately glared angrily.
Xu Xiuwen also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly remedied: "Maybe I was wrong, but no matter what you look like, you are so good-looking." ”
"Hehe......"
In 2006, hehe, it was really hehe.
But Xu Xiuwen was 100% sure that Lu Xinyao's hehe was definitely not hehe.
As for Lu Xinyao, how could hehe.
I learned it all from him.
Xu Xiuwen said in his heart: Could it be that he has neglected her too much during this time, so she is angry?
Thinking of this, Xu Xiuwen stretched out his hand and put it on Lu Xinyao's lap.
He explained earnestly, "I know I may have been a little snub to you lately. I've been a bit busy lately, though. ”
Lu Xinyao rolled her eyes.
As if to say: I'm your secretary, how did I not know that you were busy?
Xu Xiuwen continued: "Xin Yao, the company is going to shoot a second TV series, you should also know about it." ”
Lu Xinyao didn't speak.
"You also know that the next drama will be filmed around a coffee shop, and once the TV series becomes popular, the coffee shop will also be popular, so I plan to open a coffee shop in the magic capital, and I have been busy with this matter recently."
After listening to Xu Xiuwen's explanation, Lu Xinyao believed it.
"Are you already busy with the coffee shop?"
Finally spoke.
Just because you are willing to speak means that you are not so angry.
Xu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief.
He shook his head and said with a smile: "How can it be so fast, I bought the store, I found a decoration team, and I am still decorating." ”
"Oh."
Lu Xinyao nodded, her expression softened a lot.
Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen directly put her hand in advance, put it in his palm, and stroked it gently.
"What are you doing~"
A tone of resistance but not very resistant.
Xu Xiuwen naturally wouldn't let go, "Don't be angry now, right?" ”
"Do we have a relationship, why should I be mad at you?" Lu Xinyao denied it.
Xu Xiuwen looked at Lu Xinyao's eyes gently, and said, "You are the woman I like." ”
The corners of Lu Xinyao's mouth went up.
It's just a matter of moments.
But it was still captured by Xu Xiuwen.
"You're smiling?"
"Nope."
"You're smiling."
"Mr. Xu, if you don't drive again, the dinner will be late." Lu Xinyao saw that she couldn't defend herself, so she had to change the topic.
Xu Xiuwen didn't speak.
He was still staring at Lu Xinyao.
Lu Xinyao was uncomfortable by him.
When you look like you're about to be angry.
Xu Xiuwen suddenly came up and kissed her on the mouth.
Then he laughed wickedly and sat back to drive.
Lu Xinyao's reaction was a beat slower.
When I reacted, it was too late to stop it.
She glanced at Xu Xiuwen angrily, and turned her head to look out the window.
As if this way you can be out of sight and out of mind.
Xu Xiuwen drove the car seriously.
He's still in a good mood.
His relationship with Lu Xinyao.
From the beginning, Lu Xinyao was resistant and reluctant.
Later, she agreed to go back to work.
When she was in the company, Lu Xinyao was a Mr. Xu, and she was quite docile, and she did not refuse any of his requests.
But Xu Xiuwen could feel that she was still resisting in her heart.
It was as if it was a silent rebellion.
But this time he went to the magic capital and came back.
Lu Xinyao was even angry about this.
He also explained that it took a long time to coax her.
A woman if she is willing to be angry with you.
Not to mention how much she likes you.
At least she has you in her heart.
Otherwise, no woman will sulk for a man who doesn't want to do it.
The changes in Lu Xinyao made Xu Xiuwen very happy.
And Lu Xinyao next to her was not in such a good mood.
Originally, she only wanted to be a puppet by Xu Xiuwen's side.
Because she couldn't get rid of Xu Xiuwen.
In Lu Xinyao's eyes, Xu Xiuwen is undoubtedly a big carrot.
There are so many beautiful women around him......
