Chapter Eighty-Eight: Goodbye to the Old Man

"Is Editor-in-Chief Meng busy?" Lin Weilan asked outside Meng Xichen's door.

"Come in!"

"Meng Xichen, have you got the materials back? What do I need to do? Do you want me to write the interview? Lin Weilan asked.

"No need, this time you can follow me as my assistant first, you are mainly responsible for recording and taking pictures of the whole process when I interviewed the other party, and I will leave it to you next time." Meng Xichen actually planned to let Lin Weilan write the content of the interview, but when he thought that the other party was him, Meng Xichen still dispelled this idea.

"Okay, so when are we going to do it?"

"I took a look at it, and I made an appointment with the other company at half past one in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. And you're going to have to wear formal clothes then, you're too casual to dress up. Meng Xichen reminded.

"Uh-huh, got it. But I didn't have a formal suit! ”

"Buy it, and then ask your senior for reimbursement, remember to buy the expensive one, buy two sets of rotating ones. Hee-hee~" Meng Xichen said jokingly.

"Forget the reimbursement, but I did have to buy two pieces of this dress after work today, and in the years since I went to college to work, you know that I haven't bought more than five new clothes. I feel like I'm really going to turn into a turtle. Lin Weilan looked down at her dress, feeling completely out of place with the white-collar girl in this office building.

"Meng Xichen, do you say that our company has any benefits for advance salary, if so, I will go to the finance to apply." Lin Weilan asked a little embarrassed.

"Hey, don't say it, it's true, the employee handbook says that you can advance up to three months' salary. But you have to find the boss for approval before you can go to the finance, if you need money urgently, you can also find the company to borrow money and then repay the money in installments, this company is not very human~"

"That's good, then I'm going to go to Xiao Xiao to apply, okay, then you get busy first, I'll go find him!"

"Let's go~"

Lin Weilan came to Xiao Xiao's office and hesitated, not knowing how to talk about her salary advance when she went in for a while.

"Huh? Why is the girl standing in front of my office? Are you looking for me? Xiao Xiao had just come back from the meeting when she saw Lin Weilan standing at the door.

"Well, the senior came into your office and said."

"Say? What are you looking for me? ”

"That senior, can I ask you to advance a month's salary?"

"You don't have any money? Why didn't you tell me earlier, how much do you want, I'll transfer it to your WeChat now. Xiao Xiao said.

"No, no, senior. I heard Meng Xichen say that our company has the benefit of salary advance, so I thought of asking you to advance it. ”

"Something wrong with you? So much need for money? ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's not that I'm going to accompany Meng Xichen to do an interview the day after tomorrow, but I don't have the right clothes. So get ready to go buy two after work. Lin Weilan said.

"You~ I said that you have been working for more than 2 years, and you haven't bought yourself two formal clothes? Yes, on your terms, you have to pay off your student loans to support yourself and your mother. In this way, you go to the financial advance of the salary, and I will talk to him later. Then I have a shopping card for Joy City here, which has 5,000 yuan in it, and I can't use it. Why don't I resell it to you and give you a 5% discount! Xiao Xiao knew that she gave her money, and she would definitely not ask for it.

"50% off? So much, I don't want to take advantage of you, senior! ”

"Okay, then you said how much discount you can accept?"

"Hmmm! If you really don't need it, get 20% off! How about 20% off! ”

"Okay, you can say as much as you want! How have you been at the company these days? Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Weilan and asked with concern.

"It's good, the point is that Xiao Suda likes our company very much, he said that you can read books and watch movies here, and there are a lot of snacks to eat. Not to mention how happy he was. Lin Weilan said.

"But thank you for keeping it a secret. The less people know the secret between me and little Souda, the better. However, even if my colleagues in the company knew that I was a single mother, they did not look at me differently. I'm really satisfied. ”

"Meng Xichen, did you tell him the truth?"

"No, I only said that the child was mine, and I didn't say anything else when he asked."

"Xiaolan, no matter what. You can figure it out for yourself. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must come to me, and I will do my best if I can do it. ”

"Senior Xiao Xiao, you have done too much for me, if one day he comes back and beckons to me, I will definitely run to his side without any worries. It's me, so selfish! Every time I say I won't bother you, I end up coming to you for help every time. also rejected you ruthlessly, "Lin Weilan is contradictory and complicated every time she faces Xiao Xiao.

"Who wants to be a licking dog? It's not because I like it! Haha~" Xiao Xiao said.

"Senior, in love, you must be able to retreat from the difficulties and stop losses in time~"

"Say me, what about you?"

"Senior, let's not laugh at fifty steps in a hundred steps, I'm leaving, it's time to pick up Xiao Suda."

On the day of the interview~

Lin Weilan wore a small suit with a pair of high heels that she rarely wears. I also specially found an administrative girl to put on a more professional light makeup for myself.

"Lin Weilan, that's good. You're more than enough to be my assistant today. Let's go, bring your camera and tripod. Let's go! Meng Xichen's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Weilan's dress today.

"All ready, let's go. Editor-in-chief Meng. ”

"The designer we interviewed today is the design director of a company called Dyeing Design Institute, which is actually affiliated with a developer company, which has only started to acquire land in China for development in the past two years, and they are all new enterprises." Meng Xichen drove the car and introduced some information about the other party's company to Lin Weilan by the way.

"All new businesses? So why did we interview this designer? He's amazing, isn't he? Lin Weilan asked curiously.

"This designer is a designer who has won the Golden Nugget Award for two consecutive years, don't you think it's amazing!"

"Gold Nugget Award?"

"Do you know Oscar?"

"I'm sure I know that!"

This Golden Nugget Award can be called the "Oscar" of the global architecture industry! ”

"When you say that, that's amazing! So this designer came back from abroad? ”

"Yes, I just came back from London. When you arrive, you get out of the car and wait for me, I'll go to the park, you take my things off! Meng Xichen said.

"Oh, good!"

"You go in first, the first courtyard at the end of the alley is it. It's hard to find a parking space here, and we can't afford to keep each other waiting too long. After Meng Xichen finished speaking, he turned around and drove away.

"Okay, let's go to the first quadrangle, I'll look for it." Lin Weilan walked in the narrow alley like a sheep's intestine path.

"Dye? Yes, this is it. I'm still waiting for Meng Xichen at the door. Lin Weilan looked up and saw that the company sign was tied to the trunk of a large camphor tree. The door of the courtyard was open, but Lin Weilan was interviewing for the first time, and it was inevitable that she was still a little nervous waiting for Meng Xichen at the door.

"Hey, it's almost time, why hasn't this guy come yet?" Lin Weilan babbled.

"Every time I sing Happy Birthday, the old wish has not happened, and I have to think of a few new memories, only a part is left, even if I rewind with you again, life can be lost and regained" Lin Weilan's mobile phone rang!

"Hey, Meng Xichen, where are you still ~?"

"Xiaolan, I'm sorry, I can't come. Today's interview is up to you."

"What? You can't come."

"I just reversed and didn't see an old man behind me, I accidentally hit someone, and I'm going to take her to the hospital now. It's hard to make an appointment with this designer, and if you miss this time, it's hard to have a next time. If you take a look at the materials I've prepared, you'll be able to do it. Meng Xichen hung up the phone after hurriedly speaking.

"Hello? Feed? Hung up? Oh my God, what to do. The first time I came out to do something, I encountered this kind of unexpected situation, and now I definitely can't count on Meng Xichen. I'm going to calm down myself, well, it's already 1:25. No, I'll go talk to the other party first, give myself 10 minutes to prepare. Lin Weilan took a deep breath and walked towards the courtyard.

"Hello! Ma'am, which one are you looking for? The customer service at the front desk asked after seeing Lin Weilan walk in.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from Star News, and I made an appointment with your design director for an exclusive interview." Lin Weilan said with a stiff smile.

"Okay, you go with me. Director Deer has a remote meeting in the conference room, and you wait in his office for a while. The customer service at the front desk took Lin Weilan to an antique office.

There are rockeries and waterfalls on one wall of the office, and there is an ancient wooden table and two Taishi on the side. In front of the room is a mahogany desk, on which are drawings and books in addition to the computer.

It was the first time Lin Weilan had seen such a distinctive office.

"Miss, what is your surname?"

"Oh, hello. Your surname is Lin, this is my business card. Lin Weilan hurriedly gave her business card to the front desk.

"Okay, Ms. Lin will sit down here for a while, Director Lu should be fine soon. I'll make you a cup of tea. ”

"Thank you!"

After setting up the camera, Lin Weilan sat down and hurriedly took out the interview content prepared by Meng Xichen to take a look. "Wait a minute, I'd better first learn about the company situation and his personal profile sent by the other party, and it seems that the content of the interview can only be read according to the questions listed by Meng Xichen for a while."

After Lin Weilan finished flipping through the company profile, she began to read the designer's profile.

"English name: Noahlu, Chinese name: Lu Xusheng ~ Lu Xusheng!" Lin Weilan silently read the content of the introduction, and when Lin Weilan saw the three words Lu Xusheng, her whole body seemed to be half shocked, completely numb and unconscious.

"Ms. Lin, our deer director is here!"

Lin Weilan was shocked by the words after the front desk pushed the door open, and stood up reflexively. As a result, all the documents in his hand fell to the ground.

After Li Fei'er pushed the door open, Lu Xusheng lowered his head slightly, looked at the information in the iPad on his mobile phone and walked into the office, until he heard the sound of things falling to the ground, and then slowly raised his head to look.

"Xiao Sheng!" Lin Weilan looked at Lu Xusheng, who was wearing a British-style suit, and was standing in front of him alive at the moment. Lu Xusheng, who has not been seen for many years, has obviously become taller, and his face, which was originally not wearing glasses, has also been put on glasses.

Lin Weilan called Xiao Sheng and didn't know how to speak, so she could only look at each other with tears in her eyes. It's damn dull!
