It's Thursday.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Lu An appeared at the English corner on time, and Zeng Ziqian was already waiting there, listening to some people chatting in English.

He was a little curious if Zeng Ziqian could understand?

Then I thought that people are serious secondary school students, the secondary school students in the 80s are not as good as the later generations, the gold content is carried, and the top students who can be admitted are good at reading, and I can't say that this woman has talent in English.

Seeing him coming, Zeng Ziqian was busy getting up, but was stopped by Lu An with his eyes.

He sat down and said, "We will be friends here in the future, and we don't have to do that in the company." ”

Zeng Ziqian nodded hurriedly.

Lu An asked, "How is it going?" ”

Zeng Ziqian reported: "Okay, Master Kong's beef noodle manufacturer marketing has been very successful, and now this instant noodle is very hot in the market, and our wholesale retail is far more than expected, and the profit in the first half of November reached 43,000." ”

So much, then next month, or next month, it must not break 100,000?

Throw out the guarantee funds left to the company, and at the end of the year, it must not be close to one million in your own pocket?

Hey, thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little excited in his heart.

After a while, he suppressed his happiness and asked quietly: "I have been reading books on English and marketing recently, do you know why Master Kong's braised beef noodles are an instant hit?" ”

Zeng Ziqian knew that the boss was testing him, but she often communicated with the manufacturer's sales representatives, and also participated in some meetings on behalf of the company.

"I think there are two main reasons why Master Kong's beef noodles can be popular in the market:

First, our domestic instant noodle market is polarized, on the one hand, there are cheap noodles from domestic manufacturers, a few cents a bag, but the quality is poor, the noodles are soaked in the slot, and the seasoning is more like monosodium glutamate water.

On the other side is imported noodles, which are of good quality, but five or six yuan a bowl, which is unacceptable to ordinary consumers, while Master Kong's beef noodles only cost one or two yuan, and the seasonings are rich, so they naturally shine.

Second, Master Kong manufacturers are very good at catering to the tastes of our mainlanders, and know that everyone prefers beef flavors, so they took "braised beef noodles" as an opportunity to enter the market, adding some unique technology, which is the reason why I think it can be successful. ”

Lu An nodded again and again when he heard this, and said in his heart that Li Dong's vision had finally improved and he had picked up a treasure. If I train her well, maybe she will be able to surprise herself in the future.

The two chatted for about 20 minutes, and after getting a general understanding of the company, he got up and left.

Zeng Ziqian, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to leave, still listening to others communicate in English with great interest, and seemed to be full of novelty about everything in the university.

After a casual dinner in the cafeteria, Lu An walked around the playground and returned to the studio, where he planned to finish painting "Winter in Jinling" tonight.

Just after 8 p.m., as he was finishing his last place, there was a knock at the door.

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

Knocking on the third time, Lu An frowned, "Who?" ”

"Brother Lu, I'm Jiang Wan." Li Yiran suppressed his voice outside the door, learning Jiang Wan's way of speaking.

So is Lee?

Lu An was not surprised by his arrival, the two rented a house one floor apart, and there was always a time when the paper couldn't contain the fire, and this day was just the difference between coming early and coming and going.

"Wait, I've got something on hand."

Lu An said, unmoved, and continued to concentrate on painting.

After waiting for a minute, there was another knock on the door.

"Knock knock!"

"Brother Lu, open the door, I'm going to pee, if you don't open it again, I'll open the door!"

Lu Anli ignored it, and he was not released from his state until he put the pen in perfect place.

"Brother Lu, me."

Lai Lai has been being forced outside, Lu An was so angry that he directly pulled the door open, and then Li Yiran, who was leaning against the door, fell to the ground.

"Ouch! It hurts me to death, my ass is broken! Li Yiran touched his ass and screamed, and his eyes kept scurrying around the house like a thief.

When he saw a room full of easels, when he saw a room full of canvases, when he saw an oil painting vividly appearing in his field of vision, Li Yiran couldn't care about pretending to be stupid, his eyes were round, and his mouth was open enough to stuff a goose egg.

After a long time, he got up and asked, "Brother Lu, am I in the wrong place, is this your rent?" ”

Lu An poured himself a glass of water, peeled a piece of candy wrapped in paper and put it in his mouth, "Don't bother me, see with your own eyes." ”

Li Yiran walked over, unceremoniously picked up the water on the table and drank it, and after drinking, he squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Did I just see it, but I can't believe it, you are actually learning to paint?"

You sing so well, why do you still learn to draw, you don't know if you're not doing your job, aren't you just wasting your musical talent?

I'm really.

If you want me to say, you should form a band with me, you be the lead singer, you are still the guitarist, I am the deputy guitarist, and we will eat all over the world with our faces and guitars. ”

Lu An took a new cup to fill it with water and drank it slowly.

Li Yiran forced to chatter, then walked to the easel and asked, "Brother Lu, is this Jinling?" Not to mention, your paintings are still well drawn, just like the real thing, the paintings in the book are not as good as yours, and you have been studying for many years, right? Did you learn from wearing cross-crotch pants? ”

Seeing that he was about to reach out and touch it, Lu An suddenly stopped him: "Don't touch it, stay away from the painting, don't spray saliva on it." ”

"Hemp eggs! You scared me, a broken painting, you are so fierce to me. ”

Li Yiran straightened up, pointed to the painting and asked arrogantly: "How much is this painting, Brother Lu, you make a price, and I still have a dime and a damn."

I bought it back and put it in the bedroom, I went in and touched it, I went out and touched it, and if I was in a bad mood, I touched it three times. ”

Lu An's eyelids jumped, why did he want to hit someone so much?

He got up and said nonchalantly, "120, you take it." ”

"Whew! 120！ After talking for a long time, you yelled at me because of a 120 painting, Brother Lu, your pattern is low, am I short of this money, you have no money and tell me, it will be 18,000 in minutes. ”

As he spoke, Li Yiran took out his wallet from his pocket, directly took out 150 yuan and handed it to him: "Don't say anything, for the sake of our brothers, I want to draw it, I don't need to look for money, take it to buy water to drink." ”

Lu Anbai glanced at him: "The unit is 10,000." ”

"What? Is the unit 10,000? ”

"Ten thousand."

"1.2 million! You mean 1.2 million? ”

"Or else?"

"I think you're crazy about money."

Li Yiran jumped up and blew up, but before he could finish speaking, he was kicked down on the sofa by Lu An, and there he was ouch again.

This time it's really ouch!

Lu An drank the tea in the cup and looked at him with a smile, "Okay, I have a measured hand, it doesn't hurt so much." ”

Li Yiran stood up with his thighs in his arms, walked around, walked around the house, and at a certain moment, he asked incredulously: "There is only one bed in the house, where does Ye Run usually live?" Where do I sleep with you? ”

Lu An cocked Erlang, "Who asked you to come?" ”

Li Yiran said stupidly: "Myself, I've been waiting for the rabbit for a long time, who else should I use?" ”

Lu An lowered his head and pondered for a while, and asked, "Zhou Juan asked you to come?" ”

Li Yiran was surprised and sat down, "How do you know?" ”

Luan said: "It's hard to guess? Use a little brain. ”

Li Yiran asked: "Then guess who told Zhou Juan?" ”

Lu An said, "You told me earlier, Jiang Wan. ”

Li Yiran pinched his thigh, "Why am I so stupid, next time I will sew up this big mouth." ”

Lu An asked: "You know that it was Jiang Wan, because Tian Wenjing told you, right?" ”

Li Yiran gave him a thumbs up, then hooked his shoulders and asked, "Brother Lu, does Jiang Wan like you?" ”

Lu An was a little unsure about this question.

Judging from getting along on weekdays, Jiang Wan should have no idea about herself.

In other words, this kind of woman is a lady of the sky and will not easily have feelings for men. Just like Xu Yiyang in Class 1.

Unless it really hits her at a certain point all at once, and then it gets out of control. Liu Hui and Qing Shui are typical examples.

“tingting”

Just then, the BB machine rang.

Lu An took a look and found that it was Yu Guanzhi calling him.

This made Li Yiran envious for a while, and exaggeratedly said: "I'll buy one when I go back, and then tie a silver chain to the waistband of my trousers." ”

Lu An was speechless: "Are you dirty?" ”

"What's the dirt? I see that those successful people outside are wearing like this! Li Yiran was very unimpressed.

Thinking of the aesthetic and popular elements of this year, Lu An couldn't argue, not to mention the silver chain now, it will still be fashionable in another ten years: "I'm going to call, what about you?" ”

"Go call, I'll help you stay home." Thinking of Zhou Juan's entrustment, Li Yiran felt very itchy in his heart, especially wanting to know the relationship between him and Ye Run, and would take the opportunity to find it to see if he could find clues.

Lu An was not used to him, and dragged him to the door with one hand.

"Eh, eh! Elder brother! Brother Lu.! Why are you so strong? Li Yiran didn't pay attention to it, and he had already arrived outside the door.

Luan closed the door and went downstairs.

Li Yiran stared at his back for a long time and decided to follow.

When he came to the school gate, Lu An had not crossed the street to make a phone call, but he saw the familiar Mercedes-Benz parked at the right exit.

walked over and asked, "Sister Yu, why are you here?" ”

Yu Wan got out of the car: "Passing by Jinling, I remembered your third painting, so I came to take a look, go, and accompany me to have a supper." ”

After standing and painting for a few hours, Lu An happened to be a little hungry, "Cheng, what flavor do you want to eat tonight?" I'm familiar with this place. ”

Yu Guanzhi looked around and said to him, "Barbecue." ”

Crossing the street, Lu An ordered some squid, chicken thighs and meat skewers, while Yu Guanzhi asked for some vegetables.

After asking for two bottles of beer, Lu An opened one and handed it to her, and asked casually, "Are you going back tonight?" ”

"You ask me this question every time, what, you want to keep me overnight? But you're in a bed. ”

Yu Guanzhi stared at him with a smile, and since the last time he found out that he was afraid to look at him, he thought it was quite funny.

Of course, this is also the familiarity of the relationship between the two, and it is also that the two have a common goal, so that she can let down some of her guard and get along with him as a real friend.

In fact, she has lived a relatively lonely life over the years, and her heart is relatively lonely, there are not many intimate friends who have no interests, and they are basically married and have children, each with their own busyness, and the most frequent ones on weekdays are Wu Dan and Ding Chao, who are still single.

Therefore, once she recognizes Lu An, when she doesn't talk about work, she will let go of all the baggage on her body and try to change her posture, so that she will be more relaxed, and Lu An will be more relaxed.

Lu An really looked away and said, "If it's convenient for you, I can help you pack up a room and come out." ”

Three bedrooms and two living rooms, in addition to a bedroom and a room with a pile of paintings, there is just one room vacant.

Yu Guanzhi pondered for a while and shook his head: "The room is not big, you may need it soon, when I am free, I will take a look nearby." ”

Speaking of the neighborhood, Lu An asked tentatively: "That two-story courtyard, do you want to pay it back?" ”

Yu Guanzhi said: "It was left by my grandfather, I don't like it very much, it's too close to the road, and now there are more cars on the road, and it's a little noisy at night, so you can keep it." ”

Seeing her say this, Lu An sighed and didn't say anything polite to her.

Now that the wholesale company has just started, and it is close to the school, he is too lazy to change places, and it is not too late to consider moving elsewhere when it is necessary in the future.

The food came up, and the two chatted while eating.

Yu Guanzhi suddenly asked glutinously: "Do you know why I like to dine with you?" ”

Lu An said with a smile: "Because I come from the countryside, I mainly eat to make myself comfortable, not so particular, I can eat in big restaurants, and this kind of street stall is also a frequent customer." ”

"Yes."

Yu Guanzhi said softly, "In the past 20 years, I have talked about pomp and circumstance everywhere I go in and out, and there seems to be a set of fixed procedures for eating and socializing.

But after you took me to squat on the side of the road and eat cold noodles for a while, I felt that life could be like this, which was quite novel. ”

Lu An teased himself: "It seems that I am the least particular one among these friends of yours." ”

Some words can be understood as soon as he hears them, Yu Guanzhi naturally heard his voice, and said with a smile: "Although you are from a small place, you are the most talented." ”

Looking at this beautiful words, Lu An was about to float, but it was not easy to brag about himself, so he had to change the topic: ""Winter in Jinling" has been painted, you remember to take it away." ”

Yu Guanzhi came for it this time, and he couldn't ask for it.

After eating the string of squid handed over by Lu An, she asked, "Do you want to call your classmates over with you?" ”

Lu An was stunned, turned around and just saw Li Yiran sneakily eavesdropping next door, but he did enough work and ordered a large plate of barbecue.

Seeing that Lu An and the woman who was more beautiful than a flower had discovered him, Li Yiran didn't care about eating, so he didn't wait for the two of them to speak, got up and ran away.

I ran very fast, and in the blink of an eye, I crossed the road and entered the school gate.

If you don't run, you can't do it, he's not afraid of Lu An, but when facing that woman, he was a little timid for no reason.

Yu Guanzhi asked, "Why do your classmates follow you?" ”

Luan said, "You've guessed the answer, and what else do you ask?" ”

Yu Guanzhi listened to it funny: "Then did I affect your private life?" ”

Lu An said calmly: "No." ”

Yu Guanzhi's right hand brushed the hair of the ear traces and waited for the following.

Lu An said leisurely: "It's not that you are not attractive, but I have a high vision, and I need you to be like this to get into my eyes." ”

Yu Guanzhi listened, stopped eating the barbecue to his mouth, and stared at him.

When their eyes collided, Lu An quietly moved away and said, "Don't react so much, I'm not talking about you." ”

Yu Guanzhi smiled and said, "I won't leave tonight, and I'll leave tomorrow." ”

The corners of Lu An's mouth twitched, "Don't be so naughty. ”

Yu Guanzhi smiled silently, ate by himself, and drank in small sips.
