"Sister, besides what I just said, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
Jiang Fuyue was comparing the two recordings before and after. Hearing this, her eyes left the phone screen and fell on his face. Instead of answering immediately, she asked back—
"What do you think?"
A good guide is definitely not that you walk step by step in front, while he follows behind without thinking.
Sometimes it's better to let him figure out the direction for himself.
Brother Jiang thought for a while, "The interview teacher will definitely ask other questions, so the next answer must maintain the good impression that the self-introduction has given them, and then it will be considered a real pass, right?"
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows.
"Sister, am I wrong?"
"No, it's good that you can see that." She was just a little surprised.
What Jiang Chenxing said just now already had a slight taste of "establishing a person".
…
The next day, Jiang Da and Han Yunru went to the store as usual, and Jiang Fuyue sent them to the test.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the exam is over.
Jiang Chenxing walked out briskly, with his schoolbag drooping behind him.
It looks like you did well in the exam.
"Let's eat first."
Jiang Fuyue ordered a private restaurant, which is nearby, a five-minute walk.
"Welcome, do you have an appointment?"
"I booked a private room."
The waiter was taken aback: "...Miss Jiang?"
"it's me."
"I'm sorry, it's like this. The private rooms are all booked. Can you see the lobby? The location is near the window, and the environment is very comfortable."
Jiang Fuyue frowned. It was obviously a private room that was confirmed on the phone earlier, but the lobby is also fine, just...
"Big table."
"No problem, please."
It was the first time for Jiang Chenxing to come to such a high-end private restaurant, and he followed Jiang Fuyue, looking around curiously.
"Sister, will it be expensive here?"
"fine."
"Then..." He licked his lips, his eyes sparkling, "Can I eat whatever I want?"
"No. There's an interview in the afternoon, so I'm full at most."
"Hmm!" He froze in the first half of the sentence, but came alive again in the second half.
After the siblings were seated, the waiter delivered the menu, and Jiang Fuyue quickly scanned it, "This, this, this... and this..."
Flip over and continue: "This, this..."
She pointed while the waiter memorized.
In the end, Jiang Fuyue: "None of them are needed, and each has a copy."
The waiter gave a nib and was dumbfounded.
Jiang Fuyue handed over the menu and returned it to her.
Only then did the other party come to his senses: "... Xiao, miss, the portions of our dishes are not bad, can you finish eating so much?"
Jiang Fuyue turned to look at Jiang Chenxing.
The latter nodded solemnly: "We can finish eating."
"Well, let's go as soon as possible."
The waiter went to the back kitchen with a confused face, and soon another person who claimed to be the manager came to confirm the menu.
After Jiang Fuyue nodded soberly and said "no problem", the other party left with a smile.
"Manager, what's going on? Did the customer make a mistake?"
"That's right, let's ask the kitchen to arrange the serving, and act quickly."
"Yes." We didn't dare to ask anything, and we didn't dare to say anything.
When the large and small plates were served one after another, the waiter realized why the other party specifically asked for "a larger table".
This, it's not a big deal!
Jiang Fuyue picked up the chopsticks and handed a pair to little brother Jiang: "Eat."
When ordering, she specifically eliminated cold, spicy, and stomach-inducing things, and only chose two kinds of soups. She was afraid of drinking too much and went to the toilet during the interview.
Jiang Chenxing had no objection to this.
He just likes being clearly arranged by Jiang Fuyue. This feeling is hard to describe, but he knows how happy he is after experiencing it.
whee…
The two of them were eating here, and the back kitchen kept delivering new dishes, and the empty plates came back several times.
I stared blankly at the waiters and diners around.
But Jiang Chenxing turned a deaf ear, lowered his head, and concentrated on dealing with the delicious food in front of him.
This little stir-fried pork is so fragrant, that plate of tofu soup is tender and smooth, and that unnamed dish, how can it be so crispy? !
"Is that little brother a big eater? He can eat too much!"
"Professional eating and broadcasting?"
"Why didn't you see the tripod and video camera?"
"Punch in! It's the first time I watched the scene, and the visual inspection is really delicious, and I didn't induce vomiting."
"Hiss... the little brother is so handsome! But... he looks familiar."
"Be a human being, you won't let go of such a young flower, it's just crazy!"
"No... I'm serious! Do you think he looks like the one I saw on Douyin and Weibo Chaohua..."
"Which one?"
"Just one table of food, you still left a message calling him Xiao Didi, and praised him for his peachy eyes bulingbuling... Do you remember?"
"Ah! It's him! Why are you still standing there? Take out your phone and take a picture! Live internet celebrity!"
"..."
At the same time, in the private room.
"Old Xu, how does it taste?"
Xu Kaiqing nodded: "The fish is tender but not fishy, the tofu is soft but not scattered, it still tastes like it did back then!"
"As long as you like it." The man nodded slightly.
"Don't patronize me, you eat too!"
Xie Dingyuan then moved his chopsticks: "I heard from the teacher that you came to Huaihe River this year for the selection of this year's IPhO winter camp?"
"... You could say the same thing."
Xie Dingyuan's eyes moved slightly: "Could it be that you have other considerations?"
Xu Kaiqing didn't answer, just greeted him: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables..."
Xie Dingyuan didn't ask any further questions, and actually put a chopstick of vegetables into the bowl, and said casually: "Last month, I bought ten out-of-print books with 20 SA coins on the S-SA intranet..."
Xu Kaiqing pricked up his ears, and the speed of chewing unconsciously slowed down.
"The seller is very mysterious. Not only does it require a virtual account transaction, but even the mailing is airdropped, without leaving any useful information."
"But—" Hearing the sharp change in his words, Old Xu's heart suddenly rose into his throat.
"From the delivery of the package to the time I sign for it, the shipping time is only one day. With this speed, I have every reason to suspect that it was delivered in the same city. In other words, the mysterious seller is also in Linhuai. Do you think it is a coincidence?"
Xu Kaiqing nodded: "It's really a coincidence."
"It's even more coincidental." Xie Dingyuan's tone was soothing, with a flat expression, "On that day, electronic fireworks suddenly appeared on the website page, followed by a large field of irises blooming..."
"Old Shen has already told you?" Xu Kaiqing raised his eyes suddenly.
"The teacher only said that this effect will only occur when the founder logs in, but the founder of the website has not appeared for 20 years."
"Yeah..." Xu Kaiqing sighed, "Since Lao Shen has told you, then I have nothing to hide. This time I came to Linhuai, firstly to pick people for this year's winter camp, and secondly to find 'sorrow' .”
Xie Dingyuan: "Chou?"
"I send my heart out, S-SA founder."
"Has he really disappeared for twenty years?"
"Um."
Xie Dingyuan seemed to have realized something, "That mysterious seller..."
"That's right, it's him!" Xu Kaiqing said with certainty.
"Do you have a clue now?"
"Those ten out-of-print books were sold at a low price in the second-hand book section of a bookstore, and later bought by a high school student, and it was on the day of the transaction!"
In other words, from the time the book leaves the store to the auction, almost everything happens.
Xie Dingyuan captured the key information: "High school students?"
"Yes, I have seen the surveillance video in the store and even took photos, look..." He handed over the phone.
Xie Dingyuan followed the trend, his eyes froze...
