With a red face on his face, Ren Zhouyuan pretended to be holding the manuscript calmly, standing less than half a meter away from Leonid, smelling the cologne mixed with the smell of cigars that occasionally floated over his body, his head was confused It has to be like paste.
The text in front of him was obviously typed out word by word by himself, but now it looks like weird pictographs, and even the Chinese characters that he has always been proud of seem a little strange.
The air in the silence was a bit awkward, he forced himself to calm down, but the hand holding the manuscript couldn't help shaking.
Suddenly a big palm fell on Ren Zhouyuan's hand, he froze for a moment, the shock in his heart was greater than the nervousness, he looked up at the owner of the palm.
"Don't be nervous, I don't know how to eat people." Said the owner of the palm.
Such a simple sentence brought back many memories of Ren Zhouyuan. Five years ago, the same person said the same thing to him.
"Don't be nervous, I don't know how to eat people." Leonid said to the embarrassed Ren Zhouyuan: "Should you be the translator Mr. Meng mentioned?"
Ren Zhouyuan scolded Fatty thousands of times in his heart, and he has never seen anyone who can value sex and despise friends to the extent that Fatty. The fat man's name is Meng Tian. Hearing what Leonid said, Ren Zhouyuan nodded and replied with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, he might be late for something."
"Yeah." Leonid replied, followed by another silence.
Ren Zhouyuan didn't know if all Russians were so cruel, but as a traditional Chinese, he really couldn't be cold and not sell a smile to people he met for the first time, so Ren Zhouyuan became a professional smiley that night, but The target of the sale didn't give him a good look, but it was a bit like watching a monkey smirk.
Ren Zhouyuan thought that since he was here to help the fat man, as long as the sponsorship could be withdrawn, he would be a good person to the end, regardless of when the fat man would come, and received Leonid without authorization.
Russians do not drink and have fun, Ren Zhouyuan can be regarded as having seen that night.
Ren Zhouyuan didn't know what Leonid liked to eat, so he ordered a table according to his own taste. When the dishes were served, before Ren Zhouyuan had time to say "please use", Leonid raised his hand as a signal, saying yes Ren Zhouyuan said: "Which one is the strongest wine in your country?"
Ren Zhouyuan paused for a moment. He doesn't drink alcohol, so he didn't know that kind of wine was the strongest. In the end, he could only call the shop owner over, and ordered a bottle of Jiujiang Shuangzheng, the strongest in the whole shop, according to Leonid's request.
Ren Zhouyuan cursed in his heart, don't wait for it to collapse, otherwise such a big bear wouldn't know how to carry it back.
But he didn't expect that it was himself who fell in the end.
As soon as the Jiujiang double steamer was put on, Leonid drank a few swigs like drinking plain water. When Ren Zhouyuan was stunned, he put the drained cup back on the table with a bang, curled his lips and muttered One sentence, "no taste".
Ren Zhouyuan swallowed, and Leonid reluctantly ordered him to drink two more bottles. Seeing his enthusiasm for drinking, he thought of trying it out, to see if it was really what he said. no taste".
Seeing Leonid sip his meat and drink his wine, it tasted very sweet, Ren Zhouyuan simply ordered a small bottle for himself when he asked the boss to serve the wine for the third time.
When the wine was served, Ren Zhouyuan looked at Leonid, saw him raise his eyebrows, and immediately lowered his head to fiddle with the bottles of wine. Ren Zhouyuan's ears were red, and he was a little ashamed of being exposed, so he simply opened his own bottle of wine as if he couldn't see the person sitting opposite him.
However, at the moment of entrance, Ren Zhouyuan wanted to scold his mother, this is not tasteless, it is really delicious! Full of alcohol smell, not drinking at all, but pouring alcohol on yourself!
He wanted to vomit, but when he saw Leonid looking like he was enjoying the show, he swallowed it down again enduring the burning pain in his trachea, causing him to choke and cough violently.
But Leonid was amused by his appearance, his face that had been paralyzed for thousands of years finally showed a smile, he gave Ren Zhouyuan a thumbs up, patted him on the back and poured more into his cup a little bit.
Ren Zhouyuan's last memory only stays on Leonid's contemptuous face, being forced to drink his stomach full of alcohol, and what happened afterwards is just like those old-fashioned plots in TV dramas. , the only difference is that he is much more capable than those people. As a man, he gave birth to a half-breed who is too beautiful.
Thinking of the past, Ren Zhouyuan calmed down unexpectedly. The big palm covering the back of his hand was withdrawn long ago, but the warmth from the palm still remained on the back of his hand, just like those silly things that happened back then , Even if you leave, the traces of your existence will not be easily erased.
Ren Zhouyuan's hands stopped shaking, and he was able to concentrate. The memory of writing the manuscript slowly came back, and he regained his state after a while.
"STEM is the first point of view put forward by European and American countries, but later added A, that is, the category of art, and became STEAM. After entering China, some scholars proposed that A should be placed first, and become the model of ASTEM." Ren Zhouyuan thought in his mind While sorting out his thoughts, he explained his thoughts to Leonid, "China has a long history and a long history, and it often makes a fuss about traditional culture. To enter the Chinese market, I don't think it is possible to unilaterally copy the European and American methods. It should adopt the viewpoint of ASTEM as the starting point... "
Ren Zhouyuan stuttered a little at the beginning of the explanation, but the deeper he analyzed, the more he focused on his thesis, his words became sharper, and he was very confident in the content of his research. During this period, Leonid raised two questions, They were all refuted by him with various arguments.
Once he talked about his professional field, Ren Zhouyuan's eyes lit up, coupled with the blush on his cheeks that hadn't completely dissipated, he was so bright that it was impossible to move his eyes away.
But Ren Zhouyuan spoke intently, and didn't realize that Leonid was watching him intently, but Natasha next to him saw it and was extremely jealous.
Leonid's father and Natasha's parents are good friends, and she and Leonid have played together since childhood. Although she is also Russian, she is as strong and physically strong as ordinary Russians, but she is slender and has an outstanding appearance. She has no shortage of suitors since she was a child.
But I don't know if her eyes are smeared or people are cheap. Natasha dismisses those so-called suitors. She only likes this man who is as cold as ice. She feels like Leonid, That's the real man.
When Natasha heard that her parents arranged a blind date for her, she was really annoyed, but when she heard that the other party was Leonid, her attitude changed 180 degrees, even though Leonid later told her that they were just disguised She is also full of joy for the "political marriage".
But when had that indifferent Leonid stared at someone so intently and earnestly like this? Even because of work, Natasha finds it unbearable!
She felt annoying listening to Ren Zhouyuan saying such things in Russian that sounded neutral to her ears. She stepped on her high-heeled shoes and walked towards the two of them, just in time to hear Ren Zhouyuan say, " To enter the Chinese market, it must not be the same as entering other countries, and it must be properly adjusted to suit the tastes of Chinese people." Natasha took the opportunity to ridicule him and said: "Oh? So we Russians paid for it, but we have to listen to you What about these Chinese people? They don’t even think about who is behind the money and who is their rich man.”
Ren Zhouyuan's words were interrupted, and when she heard her say these words in an unfriendly tone, she immediately frowned, and was about to refute a few words, when Leonid said: "We use other people's land to do business and cater to other people's land. Is there anything wrong with doing it?"
Natasha was stunned, and Ren Zhouyuan was also stunned. In his impression, the man in front of him was a representative of arrogance. Just like when they first met, no matter how many good things Ren Zhouyuan said about Chinese culture, he couldn't beat this man. The fluffy "what's the point".
He might still believe this if it came from someone else now, but it made him a little unbelievable when it came from Leonid's mouth.
Natasha didn't seem to expect that Leonid would slap her in the face like this, she blushed and stared at Leonid and Ren Zhouyuan for a long time, then flicked her long hair, turned around and left the room, walking I still didn't forget to slam the door with a "bang" before, so that the paintings on the wall almost fell off.
"Continue." Leonid was not affected by Natasha's temper at all, and seemed to be relieved, and his eyes signaled Ren Zhouyuan to continue explaining his manuscript.
At the end of the day, Ren Zhouyuan felt that the whole world was illusory. He never thought that Leonid would have a fiancee. So many words in front of me.
With the man unable to recognize himself, perhaps he could try not to hide in the armor he had constructed, to take one step, and another, without being bound by the past.
But thinking about it this way, Ren Zhouyuan inexplicably felt a little embarrassed.
The author has something to say:
Leonid: My dear, tell me what the S and M mean
Ren Zhouyuan: ...
