8. Chapter 8
A few days later, Jiang Zijian sorted out his Taobao popular clothes, white striped polo shirt, khaki trousers, and 60 yuan a pair of sneakers. Holding a copy of "Youth Digest" in his hand as a prop, sat down in Starbucks, and flipped through the wallet that his assistant had specially prepared for him for this blind date. There was a dazzling pile of cards in it, and he didn't know what it was for. Forget it. It's just that the t-shirt on the back of his neck has a thorn on his neck, which makes him very uncomfortable.
"Hi!" Jiang Zijian raised his hand, and a boy who looked like a college student was wearing a plaid cotton shirt, rolled up his sleeves, wearing Peas shoes, and a silver necklace around his neck, and said to him enthusiastically: "You it is good!"
Jiang Zijian smiled brightly: "Did you just get off work?"
"Yes, yes, the clock is falling." Tong Kai saw Jiang Zijian, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "Brother rests today?"
"Take a break, take a rest until eight o'clock in the evening, and have to work the night shift. What do you drink?" Jiang Zijian said, "I'll treat you to a drink! I just want to have a cup of coffee, otherwise I won't have the energy at night."
Tong Kai hurriedly said, "I'll come, I just got my salary."
"I'll come, I'll come." Jiang Zijian said, "I received a tip of 200 yuan today."
Jiang Zijian went to the cashier to order a drink, Tong Kai hurriedly followed, Jiang Zijian said, "Two big cups of vanilla latte..."
Tong Kai: "the medium cup is fine. I don't drink much, so don't waste your money."
Cashier: "We have three types of cups. The large cup you want is a medium cup here. The medium cup is actually a small cup. This is the largest cup type. Is the big cup mentioned by Mr. a medium cup or an extra large cup?"
Jiang Zijian was confused by the coffee shop and wondered if you were acting with me on purpose? Not like ah. Said: "Then any cup... just the middle cup."
"The middle cup is the smallest cup."
"I mean big cup..."
"A large glass is actually a medium glass, or do you want to order an extra large glass?"
Jiang Zijian: "Dear, are you practicing my tongue twister?"
"This cup shape." Tong Kai accurately understood Jiang Zijian's needs, and pointed to the paper cup that looked like a medium cup but was actually called a large cup.
"Want to upgrade to a super cup? Just add five yuan..."
"Rise rise rise." Jiang Zijian finally got rid of the curse of the medium cup, the big cup, and the super cup, and said to Tong Kai, "You're welcome, brother."
Tong Kai just passed his twenty-ninth birthday. When his assistant helped him chat and hook up on the Internet, he reported his age as twenty-three, which happened to be one year younger than Jiang Zijian. When he heard this name, he was a little unaccustomed to it and said hurriedly: " If you can't finish it, don't waste it."
"It's only five yuan," Jiang Zijian said with a smile, "it doesn't matter."
"Five dollars is also money." Tong Kai said distressedly, and walked over to wait for coffee.
"Please enter your credit card PIN."
Jiang Zijian: "..."
Cashier: "?"
Jiang Zijian: "How much? Forgot, wait, let me ask... No, no, no, just swipe this card." Then he took out a black card from his trouser pocket and said, "This one doesn't need a password. , quick, thank you."
After the cashier swiped it, Jiang Zijian quickly put away the card, but fortunately he was not seen by Tong Kai.
The two of them took coffee and sat in front of the glass wall by the window. Jiang Zijian glanced at the shop with the eyes of the upper class, and said to Tong Kai, "I like to come here and order a vanilla latte when I'm on vacation. , sit in the store for an afternoon, read a book, and spend leisure time."
Tong Kai said: "I also like to come here. There are so many good things that I can't see them in my hometown."
Jiang Zijian said, "Do you feel homesick when you come to a big city to work hard?"
Tong Kai thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'm a little homesick, my parents are in He, He... Henan."
"Ah." Jiang Zijian said, "People from the Central Plains, tall and handsome, my ancestral home is in the northwest."
Tong Kai said seriously, "I bought the book you shared with me!"
Book? Jiang Zijian didn't remember mentioning this in the information, maybe he missed it, and then Tong Kai took out a copy of "Amitabha Buddha" and said, "I bought it in the night market, it's very cheap, only eight yuan per pound."
Jiang Zijian was a little confused. He thought it was the manager's younger brother who recommended it to the other party. He recovered and said, "Okay, okay! This book is my favorite."
The coffee was placed on the table, and neither of them drank it. After a short silence, Jiang Zijian just smiled and looked at Tong Kai.
"What are you laughing at?" Tong Kai also thinks this person is very interesting. The assistant is a girl. Chatting with Jiang Zijian, he is always amused by him, which attracts Tong Kai's attention. After seeing the photos, Tong Kai specially asked for the opinion of his assistant, changed his body and spread the goods, and came out to meet netizens.
"Smile you are handsome, like a star." Jiang Zijian is such an unpretentious character, as long as he likes it, he can praise people.
This time, Tong Kai made up his mind that he must not let the other party know that he is rich, and he does not want to repeat the failed love experience last time. But he never imagined that the first person he met in this way would actually make him feel a heartbeat.
Jiang Zijian was also a little surprised. Originally, he just wanted to try it, but he didn't expect that the quality of the other party was so high, and it didn't look like he worked in the foot bath center at all.
"It's hard work," Jiang Zijian said.
Tong Kai was asked by a boy who was five years younger than him and worked as a concierge in a hotel, "Is it hard work?" He just wanted to laugh out loud, but after struggling to hold back, he replied, "It's alright, let's get promoted to be a senior foot bather."
"That's not bad!" Jiang Zijian thought that this person was very motivated.
Tong Kai said: "I'm just tired and often work overtime."
"In order to make money to survive, there is no way." Jiang Zijian replied.
Tong Kai said sincerely: "After you get promoted, you can get an extra 3 yuan in commission for one foot."
"Very good!" Jiang Zijian nodded again and again and said, "When can you stop pressing your feet?"
Tong Kai replied: "what's the matter? Doing one line of work loves one line of work. I like this job. It's good."
Jiang Zijian immediately changed his tune and said, "I'm afraid you'll be tired."
Tong Kai eased a little and said, "After the team is adjusted, I hope to be transferred to the medicated bath center next year, and I will feel more comfortable when I press the shoulders of the guests."
Jiang Zijian suddenly thought that this little boy was giving a massage to a guest, would that... Suddenly he was a little worried, his expression just changed, Tong Kai read out his inner thoughts, and hurriedly clarified: "There has never been such a thing in our store. something happened."
"What kind of thing?" Jiang Zijian asked with a smile on his face.
"The kind of thing you think." Tong Kai's nature of playing Jifeng almost didn't hide it, so he hurriedly covered it up with a smile.
Jiang Zijian replied, "I didn't think about anything."
Tong Kai smiled without saying a word, Jiang Zijian thought for a while, and added, "There is nothing like that in our hotel."
This time, both of them laughed crookedly on the sofa, Tong Kai said, "Brother, you are so interesting."
"Okay." Jiang Zijian took out his broken-screen mobile phone, glanced at it, and said, "It's time for dinner, let's have a meal, and continue chatting?"
"I'll invite you to eat!" Tong Kai took the initiative, "you bought me coffee. I know there is a western restaurant here. You have to ask me to invite you just after getting paid."
Jiang Zijian said cheerfully: "Okay, then I'll be welcome."
Tong Kai: "don't forget the coffee."
Tong Kai took Jiang Zijian to a self-service steakhouse. After taking a seat, Tong Kai went to the front desk to pay the bill first. After working for a long time, he really couldn't use it. He said to the cashier manager at the front desk, "Forget it, swipe the card." Black card, casually said: "The color of the lipstick is very beautiful."
"Thank you." The cashier manager laughed and said, "I'll give you a fruit plate."
"How cooked is the steak?" The waiter came to order.
"Eight points." Tong Kai faithfully acted according to the script.
"I also want eight points." Jiang Zijian added, "Don't fry it too well."
After the waiter took it down, the two started chatting, back and forth. Jiang Zijian asked Tong Kai what he usually likes to do. Tong Kai’s answer was to use Douyin. Tong Kai asked where Jiang Zijian lived, and Jiang Zijian told him that the hotel provided dormitories and eight-person rooms, and he would go back to the urban village to see his parents on weekends.
"I haven't been to your hotel yet." Tong Kai said, "It's so beautifully decorated."
Jiang Zijian replied: "It's boring, a glass of water sells for 60 yuan. It's too expensive. Only a fool goes there to spend. What's wrong with having this money?"
"That's right." Tong Kai saw Jiang Zijian's purse swinging back and forth in his hand, and complimented him enviously, "Is this lv! Is it a gift from a friend?"
Jiang Zijian said: "The birthday gift Taobao bought for myself is a high imitation. Do you like it? I'll buy it for you another day."
Tong Kai said: "Nowadays, high imitations are becoming more and more real." At the same time, he thought that this person is very honest, and honesty is a person's best character, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong. According to the current personality, how could he know real or fake?
Jiang Zijian didn't think so much, and said casually: "Yes, many people like to buy famous brands, it's not worth it."
The steak came up, steaming hot, poured with pungent sauce, and spread on the iron plate into a ball. The vegetable salad had a clump of something don't know what it was, and the crea soup had a snot-like foam.
Both of them tried their best not to look at it. Tong Kai took a mouthful of salad, and Jiang Zijian stirred it with a spoon in a bowl of creamy mushroom soup, creating a warm atmosphere that he was satisfied with his meal. Tong Kai asked what zodiac sign Jiang Zijian was, and opened another app to start speed-dating. The speed-dating rate was 95%. In the noisy restaurant, the guests were yelling, but there seemed to be a different romantic atmosphere.
Jiang Zijian began to regret it a little bit, if they really got together, then to celebrate the anniversary, wouldn't they come to eat this western food every year? After thinking about it, suddenly had an idea, can buy this store and do it again.
Tong Kai said: "I didn't go to college, this is the regret of my life."
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Zijian comforted, "You can take a self-examination, the same is true. I am preparing for the adult college entrance examination, and I will take the test next year."
Tong Kai said, "Let's review together when we are free? When I was in vocational high school, the teacher often praised me."
"Okay." Jiang Zijian said, "When I bring out the registration regulations and teaching materials next time, let's review together!"
Tong Kai was a little moved immediately, during which he answered a phone call, and the assistant said: "Mr. Tong, the American side asked if we can hold an ad hoc meeting, which will only take up 20 minutes of your time. President Hu hopes that you can come back as soon as possible. ."
Tong Kai frowned: "it's outside, there's no time, let them wait."
Jiang Zijian: "How can you make the guests wait? The guests order, it proves that they approve of you."
Tong Kai instantly regained his senses and hurriedly said with a smile, "Brother is right, I'll go back right away."
"Then I'll ask the driver to pick you up?" the assistant said. "He's getting angry in the office."
"I'll go back by myself." Tong Kai was very careful this time, and said, "Wait for me for half an hour, you...that...get some bear biscuits for Hu...let's eat them, and let everyone watch TV for a while."
Assistant: "Uh... Mr. Tong, Mr. Hu and the bosses are all in the office, and they are all in the office with the video on. They are going crazy. I think they may not want to eat snacks and watch TV now..."
"Let's do this first." Tong Kai said, "hang up."
"I'll take it off for you." Jiang Zijian just didn't want to eat, so he got up in a hurry. Tong Kai knew that there must be something wrong with the head office of Norlin Office and caused them trouble, so he said quickly, "I'll take the subway for two hours. It's on the way."
"Send you to send you..."
"It's really not necessary, brother, keep eating, don't waste it..."
"Hey, don't forget the coffee."
"That's right." Tong Kai also remembered, and the two took the coffee and left the restaurant.
Jiang Zijian swept the shared bicycle, pressed the handlebar, said goodbye to Tong Kai at the intersection, and said, "See you tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow?" Tong Kai said, "the day after tomorrow I'll take a break and call you."
"It's a deal, bye."
Tong Kai got off the subway station, found the trash can, threw the coffee, passed the entrance, walked out the exit, turned into the underground garage of a shopping mall, and felt on his body for a long time, finally turned out the car key, pressed it, and the Ferrari lighted up With the headlights on, Tong Kai got in the car and drove away.
Jiang Zijian rode a shared bicycle, found a pile at the next intersection, returned the car, and went around to the nearest Jiangman Continental Hotel. The doormen were busy standing up straight. Jiang Zijian went downstairs and sat in his Aston Martin. Without the t-shirt, changed into a dress in the driver's seat and drove out.
"Mr. Jiang, have you eaten dinner yet?" The store manager stood by the guard post and bowed, "There are new truffles arriving today, would you like to try them?"
Jiang Zijian was in a good mood today. He rolled down the car window and said, "I'm going to my friend's house to eat. Help me throw this away, thank you!"
Jiang Zijian handed her a cup full of oversized vanilla latte, waved his hand, and drove the sports car away.
Tianhe stayed in the study for three full days, and when he finally came out, his hair was messy and his face was haggard. It happened that Jiang Zijian was eating lunch in the living room and waiting for him to leave the customs. Aunt Fang brought the bird's nest porridge and put it on the table, saying, "You're busy, let's get rid of the dryness."
"I want to tell you..." Jiang Zijian couldn't wait to share his latest date with him.
Tian He packed himself up, blew his hair, felt a lot more comfortable, and moved his stiff neck, while Jiang Zijian kept telling him how he found true love by interpreting the script earnestly.
Tianhe drank some porridge, which tasted very good, opened his numb taste buds after eating for three consecutive days.
"There are many loopholes." After listening to Jiang Zijian's sharing, Tianhe commented briefly.
Jiang Zijian said, "Wu Shun has helped you find another company. Maybe this time, it can provide you with a guarantee. Let's meet today."
"Another day." Tian He said, "The schedule has been arranged. I have to visit house-to-house today, and I have to hire another assistant. I have to visit the agency in a few days."
Jiang Zijian said, "Wu Shun is quite enthusiastic. I really recommend you to chat with him. I didn't have a chance last time... Huh? Or should I be your assistant?"
Tianhe: "No! Later, if you do something to someone else's director again... I can't explain it."
Jiang Zijian: "That director was very good last time! He is young and promising, and he has a baby face."
Tianhe: "Oh? I thought you changed your taste. Wu Shun should be good, right?"
Tianhe glanced at Jiang Zijian suspiciously, with a smile in his eyes, the tacit understanding over the years did not even require Tianhe to ask, Jiang Zijian understood and said casually: "He doesn't mean anything to me! We never discuss this topic, I know what you're trying to say, and I'm just as you guessed."
"Well." Tianhe replied, "That's how the domestic environment is, especially in the civil service system."
Jiang Zijian said, "But I can feel that he is very envious of me being able to come out to the closet in a big way."
"You actors, male models, and internet celebrity boys." Tian He smiled, "You can form a football team. It's impossible for your father to know."
Jiang Zijian said: "I'm serious! For so many years, I've never been like when I saw Xiao Kai. When I saw him, I felt that there was drama. In my eyes and personality, I thought we were too suitable...I When he talks, he listens carefully, and when he talks, I want to listen too...and we rarely talk about money!"
Tianhe said: "Don't go too deep into the play, why don't you think about it, what if you find out the truth?"
Jiang Zijian said: "Yes! So today, I am here to discuss countermeasures with you. Now I know in my heart that he likes me when I have nothing. So no matter how much he asks me later, I will always I miss this wonderful encounter! Ah—!"
Jiang Zijian stretched his waist and said, "Not to mention that others haven't asked for this or that. Although, it's not too much of a family..."
"The right match means that lovers have the same pursuit." Aunt Fang brought coffee, put it on the table, and said patiently, "The vision can be cultivated, but the family conditions can't keep up, you can learn slowly, no one is born. understand this."
Jiang Zijian smiled and said, "That's right, Aunt Fang said the same."
Tianhe said: "I don't have any idea about the so-called 'right family', like Guan Yue's family, it's better to go to poverty alleviation."
Jiang Zijian laughed and took out the broken screen mobile phone. Aunt Fang glanced at it and was about to ask if she should use it for repairs. Tianhe explained: "He has too much drama, so he likes to use this."
Jiang Zijian was full of the shy smile of a big boy who fell in love, and seriously, two fingers like a mantis briskly replied to Tong Kai on the phone, and said to the sky: "When I'm about to showdown, Give him a surprise. Will you plan for me?"
Tianhe thought about it and said, "Take him to Paris to play."
Jiang Zijian said: "I asked the constellation last time, and I know his birthday. I want to have my uncle fly the helicopter over on his birthday. Do you think he will be angry?"
Tianhe said sincerely: "If it was me, I might be, Zijian, I'm not kidding."
"Uh." Jiang Zijian also realized that he had gone too far, "How about I buy the foot bath city and give it to him as a gift?"
"Ha ha ha ha"
At that time, Tong Kai didn't know that he might receive a foot bath city as a confession gift, and he was beaming with Guan Yue's office to share with him the details of what happened during these days.
Guan Yue's expression was calm, and Tong Kai said again: "...If you know that I am five years older than him, I don't know what the expression is. Now there are two questions. First, will he be angry? Second, it seems that Like a top." Tong Kai frowned again and said, "It shouldn't be because of this, the last shot and two break up, right?"
Guan Yue did not lift his brows after reading today's financial news, and was very calm.
"The renminbi has fallen too much." Tong Kai's thinking is always jumping, "After the start of the trade war, in New York a few days ago, several Chinese companies were successively investigated, and one of them was our major customer. Your family's The big boss didn't summon you?"
"On the way." Guan Yue replied.
Tong Kai: "What?" Then he realized that the problem was a little serious, and said, "Here you come in person?"
Guan Yue didn't answer, Tong Kai said, "The reception is busy enough for a while."
The chief financial officer knocked on the door, and Tong Kai said, "come in, I'll be leaving now."
The general assistant came in, shook off the suit jacket, let Guan Yue put it on, Guan Yue glanced in the mirror, and left the company with Tong Kai. Nearly ten executives followed, and six black Lincolns drove out in a mighty convoy to the airport.
