eight pm-
Fang Tao was the one who said he would never return drunk, but he was the only one who got drunk in the end.
An old man about fifty years old led two young and strong men into the milk tea shop, walked up to Liu Yanbo and the others, bowed his head politely and said: "Mr. Liu, Ms. Hu, I am the housekeeper of the Fang family. I'll take the young master home."
They have been here for a long time, after Lu Piao Piao left in a fit of anger, they have been guarding outside.
"You know us?" Hu Die raised her eyes and said.
"Yes." The housekeeper said truthfully: "Since the young master returned to China, we have secretly got to know everyone who has contacts with him."
"Then how much do you know about us?" Hu Die played with the wine glass with meaningful eyes—
No one likes being undercover, especially someone with too many secrets like her.
The butler replied: "It's almost the same as everyone else knows."
In this case, this is undoubtedly a smart answer, and it is also the most appropriate answer.
Because in this case, his answer usually only has three options—
The first option: as many;
Second option: almost;
The third option: know everything you want to know;
Choosing the first one will undoubtedly make people feel too fake. Choosing the third one may lead to disaster. Only the second answer is the safest—
almost
That is, it will not be too much less, nor too much more, that is, enough is enough.
This is the art of language—
A slight difference, a thousand miles of error, maybe a word difference will lead to two different endings.
Liu Yanbo drank the wine in his glass, got up and said, "Miss Hu, let's go."
"Do you need us to send you two back?" the butler asked hastily.
"I don't need it." Liu Yanbo had already put on his coat and walked outside, followed by Hu Die.
On winter nights, there is always a special kind of silence in the city. There is constant traffic on the road, and the streets are brightly lit, but there are few pedestrians, making it look very cold.
The temperature is low, the wind is colder—
After going out, Liu Yanbo turned up the collar of his coat and suggested, "Miss Hu, let's go for a walk together?"
Hu Die didn't refuse, nodded and said, "Okay."
Anyway, you can't drink and drive, so the two of them just walked aimlessly along the street, and it didn't matter where they went.
The weather was indeed very cold, and Hu Die had already rubbed her hands coldly before walking far. After seeing this, Liu Yanbo handed over his leather gloves, and said with a faint smile: "It seems that Miss Hu hasn't adapted to us yet. China's climate change?"
"Thank you." Hu Die hesitated for a while, but she finally took the gloves and put them on her hands.
But she didn't answer Liu Yanbo's innocuous words, and she lost the generosity she had when there were many people, and became a little cautious.
Liu Yanbo lit a cigarette and started to talk about it: "I heard that Ms. Hu wants to be our company's overseas agent?"
"I did have such an idea, but Mr. Yin rejected it." Hu Die nodded.
"Although I don't know how to do business, I also understand the principle of one step at a time. Bai Yulu has just been launched on the market, and the market foundation is still unstable. If I rashly open up overseas sales channels now, it may be counterproductive." Liu Yanbo smiled lightly. : "Miss Hu, you are too impatient."
This is a very common business opinion, but because it is too common, it made Hu Die silent, because she felt that Liu Yanbo had something to say.
After thinking about it for a while, Hu Die put on a submissive smile on his face and asked, "Then Mr. Liu thinks what should I do?"
"Wait until the right time." Liu Yanbo asked back: "Ms. Hu has been in shopping malls for a long time, so she doesn't even understand this simple truth?"
"But I don't want to wait too long." Hu Die said: "The longer I wait, the more ripe the time will be, the more competitors will be, and my chances will be smaller."
"Is Miss Hu so unconfident in her own strength?" Liu Yanbo said along the way: "I have always thought that Miss Hu is a heroine who fears nothing and nothing."
"That depends on who the opponent is." Hu Die sighed softly.
This time, it was Liu Yanbo's turn to be silent for a while before slowly saying: "In this case, I think Miss Hu, you'd better give up now."
What is this saying
But it was this sentence that shocked Hu Die, but she quickly regained her composure and asked, "Why?"
"For your own good." Liu Yanbo's words became more and more confusing, and more and more out of context.
"I believe that Yin is always a person who values friendship, and I just want to make friends with her." Hu Die also began to escape: "Multiple friends have multiple paths, this should not be a bad thing."
"Mr. Liu, do you think I'm right?"
Liu Yanbo smiled, and continued to smoke a cigarette: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but you don't have to advance and retreat together to be friends. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and friends without conflicts of interest will last longer. "
"We have an idiom in China, respect each other as guests. Although it is often used to describe the relationship between husband and wife, I think it can also be used between friends sometimes. I wonder if Ms. Hu has heard of it?"
"Of course I have heard of it. I have been working hard to learn Chinese culture recently." After Hu Die finished speaking, she suddenly stopped, turned to look at the location of Xiqing Milk Tea Shop, and said suddenly: "Mr. The milk tea shop is closed, and we have one less place to drink."
Liu Yanbo stood still, he didn't turn around, but said flatly: "As long as we are friends, it doesn't matter where we drink."
Hu Die smiled, this time, it was the most soothing smile she had today, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, are we friends?"
"It still is." Liu Yanbo replied.
"Then I hope we will always be." Hu Die paused for a while, and then said: "Mr. Liu, it's getting late, so I won't accompany you, lest Mr. Yin know about it and cause misunderstandings."
"Okay." Liu Yanbo asked very politely: "Do you need me to take you back?"
"No, I'll just take a taxi back by myself." Hu Die had already taken off a glove as she said, but after thinking about it, she put it back on again, and asked, "Mr. Liu, I will return this glove to you next time." ,May I?"
Liu Yanbo didn't answer directly, but said directly: "Miss Hu, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Mr. Liu." Hu Die also said.
The two separated, one walked forward, the other walked back...
"Mr. Liu, please wait a moment." After walking a few steps apart, Hu Die chased after him again.
Liu Yanbo stopped in his tracks and asked, "Miss Hu, is there anything else?"
Hu Die handed over a khaki scarf, and said sincerely: "Mr. Liu, I like the birthday present you gave me today. As a gift in return, I hope you can accept this."
Liu Yanbo didn't reach out to pick it up, because this scarf was worn by Hu Die himself today.
But Hu Die insisted: "Mr. Liu, I have no other intentions, but you Huaxia pay attention to reciprocity, you can't make me a woman who is not polite, right?"
This is moral kidnapping!
Liu Yanbo hesitated for a while, and finally took the scarf and said, "Thank you!"
