Chapter 4 Mr. Han Bai
"Fu Ya Ge" is a luxury restaurant converted from the residence of a Qing Dynasty dignitary. Although the exterior of the building is not tall, the interior decoration is inlaid with gold and silver, and it is magnificent.
As the most expensive restaurant in the city, Fu Ya Ge has always maintained the best state of having more waiters than customers. There were five or six little brothers standing at the door to help park the car, all wearing black riding coats and white sleeves.
The brakes of the shared bike I rode were not very good, but thanks to a powerful guy who held down my handlebars, I didn't crash into the stone pier in front of the Fu Ya Ge door.
"Sister Beauty, pay attention to safety!" The little brother said politely, helping me out of the car as he spoke. "Where do you want to park this car?" I looked around and saw that the parking lot in front of Fugago was full of luxury cars that I couldn't name. "Whatever you want." I muttered, hugged Yanni's high-end A bag that I had borrowed, and walked into the door of Fu Ya Ge tremblingly.
"Miss, do you have a reservation?" A tall, good-looking waitress asked me.
I was just about to speak, when a girl wearing a tight-fitting modified cheongsam walked over and said to the waiter, "This is a VIP guest at first glance, I'll be in charge of the reception." The cheongsam woman looked obviously higher than the waiter, and she graciously handed over her business card and asked me about my reservation. Then he led me to the private room.
The private room has a color of mahogany furniture, in addition to a round dining table, there are eight treasure pavilions, Chinese-style sofa chairs and coffee tables, and a portrait of an old man in Qing Dynasty official clothes hangs on the wall table, perhaps the former owner of this house.
Refreshments were already set on the coffee table, and the cheongsam woman asked me if I wanted to see the menu first, and asked someone to help me make a pot of good tea, and the room was instantly filled with the fragrance of tea.
I couldn't read the menu at all, and I panicked. Although I am wearing a goddess badge, how effective can this badge be, will Mr. Hanbai see through it? I should say something to Mr. Han Bai in a while, he is so knowledgeable, will I break the gong with one mouth? The most important thing is whether I can persuade Mr. Han Bai to renew the contract with our company, and how can I persuade him to renew the contract?
I raised my cup and wanted to take a sip of tea, but I didn't expect the tea to be too hot, my hand shook, half a glass of water spilled on my body, I quickly took out a tissue and wiped it vigorously. I don't know if it was because I touched the badge, but the goddess badge that I had been wearing on my clothes suddenly fell off and rolled away from under my feet with a grunt, and rolled in the direction of the gate.
At this time, the door of the private room was opened, and the cheongsam woman led Mr. Hanbai in with a smile on her face. At this time, the goddess badge rolled down the crack of the door to the door.
Mr. Han Bai is of medium height, not fat or thin, with a pair of brown thin-rimmed glasses, a regular hairstyle, and a light gray turtleneck with a navy blue casual jacket, which really looks more like a university professor.
The cheongsam girl was startled when she saw me, and said sharply, "Huh? Who are you? Where did that beauty go? As she spoke, she looked left and right, and sure enough, without the badge, I was beaten back to my ugly and fat original form in her eyes.
Out of politeness, although Mr. Han Bai did not show an expression of disgust, his brows were furrowed, and he asked coldly: "You are Xia Mo?" ”
"Ah, the bag of that beautiful woman just now is still there, and it shouldn't have gone far." The cheongsam girl was still looking for another me, and it felt like she was going under the table to find it.
Extremely embarrassing! Extreme social death! I stood there, bathed in Mr. Hanbai's stern, cold gaze, and almost wanted to find a hole to get into.
However, as the so-called urgency makes wisdom, the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, I have a plan, and stammered: "I, I'm Xia Mo's assistant, come over to help her take care of it first, I'll call her, and she will come over immediately." As he spoke, he fled and rushed out of the door.
As soon as the door of the private room behind me closed, I was like an animal, lying on all fours, desperately searching, and just as I was close to despair, something flashed in the corner, badge! I've finally found it, my goddess badge!
When I walked into the private room again wearing the goddess badge, Mr. Hanbai stood up from his chair with a look of surprise and admiration. He gave me up to the main seat and was very gentlemanly in helping me in my chair as I sat down.
"I'm really flattered that Miss Xia can enjoy eating with me." Mr. Han Bai spoke very sincerely, without any hypocrisy.
"Yes, it's my pleasure to meet you." I stumbled politely.
"You Mr. Li introduced you to me, I couldn't believe it at the time, there would be such a person hidden in her company, but I didn't expect to see it today, Miss Xia is really not a thing in the pool." Mr. Hanbai is really literate, and he praises people so literary.
"Yes, it's over......" I said as I picked up the menu to hide my embarrassment.
"Ahh Mr. Han Bai showed a humble and warm smile and blamed himself, "Miss Xia likes to eat, just order." ”
The menu is antique, all of them are traditional characters, with vertical typesetting in brush fonts, and the key is that the names of the dishes are the same as the ancient texts, which dazzles me.
"Has Miss Xia ever been to Fu Ya Ge before?" Mr. Han Bai asked.
I shook my head.
"That's not as good as this, I'll order a few dishes for Miss Xia that are good here, you try them first, and if it doesn't suit your taste, we'll change it." Mr. Han Bai said with concern.
I quickly nodded.
After a while, a table of dishes full of color and fragrance was spread all over the table, and the cheongsam woman personally brought a pot of wine, a cyan porcelain bottle, and the temperature seemed to have been chilled.
"This wine is called Seven Plums, taken from Bai Juyi's poem: Seven plums are newly planted by the pool, and they are checked when they are in bloom." Mr. Hanbai said as he poured me wine.
The wine is really good, although it is clear but the aftertaste is very strong, my father is a good wine master, every time my mother fried a delicious dish, he always has to drink two glasses, but his wine is some bargains, spicy and rushed, so that I feel difficult to swallow.
"It's expensive, isn't it?" I blurted it out, but I regretted it, would it seem like I was too petty?
"It's not expensive, it's just more than 3,000 a pot." Mr. Hanbai said calmly.
More than 3000? Such a small pot? This price is estimated to buy 2 cases of the inferior liquor that my dad drank! I exclaimed inwardly, but on the surface I could only pretend to be calm.
I was trained by my dad to drink a lot of alcohol since I was a child, but now I don't dare to drink too much, for fear of drinking too much and saying the wrong thing.
Han Bai first talked a lot, and he felt a lot of joy and excitement at first sight, and somehow, he even talked about his "green years" (this is his original words, at first I thought it was his slip of the tongue, but then I went home to check, there is really such a word!) )
"At that time, I played a good guitar, and in your young words, there were a lot of 'little fans'. However, I always have a big ambition in my heart to make a contribution to society and even humanity. Oops, I said so much, let Miss Xia laugh, come, eat, eat! "He wanted to pick up vegetables for me, but when he reminisced about his green years just now, I had already swept the vegetables. The food here is so expensive, and many things are the first time I've seen them, no matter how delicious or not, I'll give them away first!
"Ah, Miss Xia has a good appetite today, I'll let them add a few more dishes!" Mr. Han Bai said as he pressed the call bell.
"Don't, don't, I'm full." I hurriedly waved my hand. I feel compelled to talk about the most important things now and then end this awkward and awkward meeting as soon as possible.
"Mr. Li..."As soon as I spoke, Mr. Han Bai interrupted me and said: "Don't call me that, it's too angry, if Miss Xia doesn't dislike it, just call me Han Bai."
I cleared my throat, reluctantly squeezed out the word "Hanbai", and then said: "I heard that your company is considering signing a contract with another consulting company, we..."
Hearing Mr. Han Bai's point-to-point evaluation of Li Fan, I felt both relieved and embarrassed. In my opinion, Li Fan's ability to support such a company alone is already very powerful, but he can only get such an evaluation. If it weren't for the goddess badge on my body, in the eyes of Mr. Hanbai, I would probably only be able to describe it in one word: bullshit is not!
I was worried in my heart and didn't know how to convince Mr. Han Bai, but he changed his tone and said: "However, seeing Miss Xia today has completely changed my mind, although I can't figure out how Li Fan took you under his command, but with a character like you, I am optimistic about the future of the Oscar company." With that, he raised his glass and touched it with me, and then drank it all.
Yes? Done? That's it? My heart was pounding with excitement. Badge, this goddess badge, really made me a goddess from the inside out, wearing it, in the eyes of others, I am not only outstanding, but also talented!
Since it has reached this point, it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot, and of course the boiled duck cannot be allowed to fly. I immediately took out the prepared contract from my bag and said to Mr. Hanbai: "Thank you for your trust in our company, since you have said this, why don't you put the contract..."
Before I finished speaking, Mr. Hanbai took out a delicate fountain pen and signed the contract!
The dinner ended in victory, and I carefully put the contract in my bag and got up to say goodbye to Mr. Hanbai. Reluctantly, he intimately asked the waiter to pack me two pots of "Seven Plums", and when I was about to break up, he reminded me intimately, "Miss Xia, your assistant should be replaced, now this is too unseemly, it insults your temperament......"
