The place was chosen by Xiao Zheng, it was a Western restaurant near the villa area. Xiao Zheng and Lao Lin came here to have a few meals. The food was good and the environment was not bad. Of course, the main reason was that he knew he couldn't overcome Xiao Taohong's desire to spend money. It is not appropriate to go to a place that is too expensive.
Of course, going to a place that is too cheap also shows that he, the boss, has no taste.
This restaurant costs one thousand per person. This is in line with the actual situation of Xiao Taohong who wants to treat guests but has limited income.
See, leadership is also an art. You can't trick your subordinates too hard, and you can't let your subordinates accuse you of having no taste. You have to be careful even when choosing a place to eat. So tired.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng became a little envious of Lu Dashan's accompanying personality.
It's not easy to get to his level and still maintain a lively and cheerful personality in private. Looking at Lin Laoyao or Shang Jingtian, even Bai Wuxia has the airs of a big shot, right
No wonder Xiao Zhengneng and Lu Dashan are close. They have the same smell.
When he came to the restaurant, Xiao Zheng was familiar with the food and ordered a meal. After ordering two more drinks, he smiled and said, "Nothing happened in the company these days, right?"
"Everything is normal." Xiao Taohong was still a little cautious. After all, he was eating alone with the big boss. This is not the same as accompanying your boss to meet clients. One is for work and the other is for private life.
In the process of getting along, it is inevitable to exude a different atmosphere.
"Relax." Xiao Zheng took a sip of his drink and joked. "Is it possible that I still eat people?"
Xiao Taohong's pretty face flushed, she shook her head and said, "Mr. Xiao, you are very good. It's me who has no future..."
"In the company, you think of me as the leader. In private, just think of me as your big brother." Xiao Zheng said half-jokingly and half-seriously. "I'm four years older than you, so I ask you to be your brother. Is there any problem?"
"No problem, no problem." Xiao Taohong felt overwhelmed with happiness.
Does Mr. Xiao regard him as his elder brother
That’s pie in the sky!
Who doesn’t know Mr. Xiao’s status in Xinao? That's a lot of things, surrounded by countless beings. It is said that even the head of the entertainment department, Mr. Lan, was supposed to be in competition with Mr. Xiao. He never argued with Mr. Xiao.
It can be imagined that Mr. Xiao is loved by everyone in Xinao.
"Sister and brother are eating. Why are you so reserved?" Xiao Zheng shook his head and asked casually while waiting for the food. "Who's in the family?"
"My parents are retiring soon." Xiao Taohong said softly. "There is also a big brother."
"Oh. Am I stealing your brother's limelight?" Xiao Zheng joked. "He won't cause trouble for me, right?"
"No, no," Xiao Taohong said helplessly. "You are much better than my elder brother."
Xiao Zheng is a spirit-like figure who can see through Xiao Taohong's thoughts at a glance: "Is your brother not motivated?"
"It's just that I'm not motivated. Anyway, I can take care of my parents." Xiao Taohong said bitterly. "As a brother, I always work hard for three days in everything I do. I even had disputes with company leaders several times. After working for four to five years, I was sued by the company two or three times."
"So rebellious?" Xiao Zheng laughed dumbly.
Being sued by a company is not an easy matter. Take Xinao as an example. Except for the fight with the Geng Sang faction in Mingzhu. Apart from involving relevant departments, Xiao Zheng has never heard of any employees being sued by New Ao. Firstly, it is bad for the company's reputation, and secondly, even small things do not touch the legal line. Unless there is an employee who does something big.
obviously. Xiao Taohong and her brother just made a big mistake. Otherwise, I won’t be sued by multiple companies.
Xiao Taohong said helplessly: "My eldest brother has always been trouble-free. My parents are also worried about him. Some time ago, because he wanted to open a bar in partnership with his friends, he forced his parents to get a bank loan for the house. He didn't even think about it. , if the business fails, how can the family have money to pay off his debt? Is it possible that the bank will take over the house and let the parents sleep on the overpass? "
"This is a bit ignorant." Xiao Zheng frowned slightly. But he didn’t go into details.
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household matters, and Xiao Zheng didn't think he could handle such matters well. Of course, he could just give a few million to Xiao Taohong and her brother. But this kind of thing happens twice, and the other party gets something for nothing. It will definitely entangle itself. Even if Xiao Zheng is not afraid of being entangled by the other party, Xiao Taohong and her brother will be completely shattered by the millions he has spent.
Xiao Taohong seemed not to want to discuss her family affairs with Xiao Zheng. Maybe he felt embarrassed, maybe he was afraid of making Xiao Zheng unhappy. Changing the subject, he said: "Mr. Xiao. Your life with Mr. Lin must be very happy, right?"
Talented men and beautiful women. The key is that they are all so rich, so temperamental and well-educated. In Xiao Taohong's eyes, the life of this beautiful couple is simply more idol drama than idol drama.
Xiao Taohong couldn't even feel the yearning.
Speaking of which, Xiao Taohong’s appearance is also very good. Pure and cute, exuding a pure atmosphere. He has a gentle temper and is considerate enough. In addition to being quite reserved in front of Xiao Zheng, he also gained some reputation while working outside. With her soft and hard skills, she should be able to find a partner, and it shouldn't be much different.
Xiao Zheng raised his head and glared at Xiao Taohong: "It's taboo to ask the leader about his emotional life. What, are you trying to pry into the leader's corner?"
Xiao Taohong's pretty face flushed, she shook her head and said, "I'm just curious..."
In fact, it's not just Xiao Taohong. Who in the company is not curious about Xiao Zheng and Lin Huayin's married life
Both are legends and the number one and number two figures in Xinao. Even overseas confidants, including Lin Huayin, would occasionally gossip about the couple's lives.
happiness? happy? Or - luxury
When the dishes were served, Xiao Zheng asked casually: "Would you like a glass of red wine?"
Xiao Taohong said: "If you drink, I will drink with you."
Xiao Zheng smiled and shook his head: "It's better to forget it. In case you can't drive home later."
Xiao Zheng has a good drinking ability and is also good at driving. It doesn't hurt to drink whatever you want. But if you were a person who couldn't drink well and could drive an average person. That would be harming others and yourself.
Eating steak and drinking drinks. The two chatted quite happily. Under Xiao Zheng's instigation, Xiao Taohong gradually became more talkative. No longer as restrained as before.
"Xiao Taohong, you are not young anymore. Have you never thought about finding a boyfriend?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.
At the age of twenty-four, he is neither too young nor too old. Find a boyfriend now, date for two or three years, get married when you are 27 or 8, and have children before you are 30. There will be plenty of time. Don't be like some girls with high ambitions and low abilities who pick this and that, choosing themselves to become the remaining fighters.
"Ah?" Xiao Taohong was slightly startled, then bit her lip and said. "I haven't talked about it yet."
After a pause, he felt that it was a bit abrupt to say this, so he shook his head and said: "I just want to do a good job for now. Let's talk about this later."
Xiao Zheng nodded without saying anything further.
Talking too much will make people feel that the motives are impure, which is not beautiful.
Ding ding ding.
When she was almost done eating, Xiao Taohong's cell phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone and took a look at it, but she frowned and hung up.
"Why didn't you answer?" Xiao Zhengzheng smiled.
After one meal, I really found out some of Xiao Taohong’s personality.
"Advertising phone number—" Before Xiao Taohong could finish her words, her cell phone buzzed again.
Xiao Zheng smiled and guessed who had beaten her. He called the waiter, handed over a credit card and said, "Pay the bill."
Before Xiao Taohong got up, he waved his hand again and said with a smile: "It's your brother calling, right? Take it."
