"This is CCTV, good evening, viewers..." From the computer speakers, came the voice of the live host of the Spring Festival Gala.
Yang Jinxia said, "Okay."
Chen Xu put his bowl and chopsticks in front of her, turned around and went into the kitchen, and took a stainless steel basin. Almost no one from his family came. Originally, there was a pair, but one was dropped, and only one remained. The chopsticks are the same, one is missing, and there are three chopsticks left.
He remembered that when he was eating takeaway a few days ago, he had an extra pair of chopsticks and put them on the computer desk. When he came out to look, he found that they were still there. Take it and take it apart, sit on the edge of the bed, and start eating.
The room is small, and once a table is placed, there is not much space.
Seeing the stainless steel basin and disposable chopsticks in his hand, Yang Jinxia smiled and said, "You're quite frugal."
"There are very few guests at home." Chen Xu said while helping her pick up a piece of chicken.
"Have you lived here long?"
"I've been living here since I graduated. I plan to move out after the new year."
"Have you found a good place? Well, your craftsmanship is quite good. This boiled chicken is better than those made by some big restaurants." Yang Jinxia said in surprise after taking a sip.
Chen Xu said with a smile, "Eat more if it tastes good."
She tried fried fish and soup again, and said, "Not bad, I can't imagine that you can still have such good cooking skills."
"I have a lot of interests, but I just don't have much patience. I learn a little bit about this, and a little bit about that one, but I don't know much about it." Chen Xu picked up another piece of chicken.
Yang Jinxia picked up the meat, dipped some soy sauce soaked in coriander, and asked, "Is it also in the field of artificial intelligence?"
"It's for making money, so naturally it takes more energy."
Yang Jinxia looked at the computer screen, watched the opening program of the Spring Festival Gala, and asked, "Is there any beer?"
"I'll go down and buy it." Chen Xu said, standing up.
"No need." She picked up her phone and sent a message.
After a while, someone knocked on the door, and it was her female driver who came up with several bottles of beer.
Chen Xu opened the door, he took the beer and said, "Otherwise, let's come in and have a drink together."
"No, I've already eaten." The female driver said with a smile on her face, turned around and went downstairs.
He found two cups, washed them, and each poured a cup.
Yang Jinxia took a cup, took a sip, and said, "When I was young, my grandma and I would spend the New Year together. At this time, she would open a bottle of beer and drink one by one. When I grow up , I drank with her. Later, she fell ill and could no longer drink.”
As she said, she finished drinking a glass of wine, and Chen Xu filled it up for her.
She suddenly asked, "How much do you know about me?"
Chen Xu said, "It's not much."
"That's pretty familiar." Yang Jinxia picked up the cup again, "Tell me about you."
"Me? You should have checked everything about me. There's nothing to say."
"Then tell me what I don't know."
"One must have some secrets, which cannot be told to anyone."
Yang Jinxia held the cup, shook it lightly, and said, "We are about to start working together, and there must be some basis for mutual trust."
"You should know the value of those materials, which is enough to represent my sincerity."
She shook her head and said, "It's so important, how do I know, aren't you making up a story?"
"You can treat these as a story. I have written on the Internet before, and I have a big brain."
"Hmph, it's fine if you don't want to say it."
After that, the two didn't talk much, they watched the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala while eating.
Finally, when the food was all gone, Chen Xu started to pack his things. After washing the dishes, he came out after drying his hands. Seeing that she was still drinking, he knew that she was drinking well, so he did not persuade her. He put away the table, folded it and put it in end of bed.
"Have you found the place yet?" Yang Jinxia asked again after waiting for him to finish his work.
"not yet."
"I have an empty house, let me borrow it from you."
"Let's forget it, in case we break up in the future, we have to move again."
She turned to look at him and said, "You are really courageous, you dare to say anything."
"The ugly words are up front, which is good for mutual cooperation."
She didn't mention this matter again, and watched the Spring Festival Gala with relish.
Chen Xu didn't speak any more, just sat on the side with her, watching the program on TV.
After returning to reality, there may not be many opportunities to have New Year's Eve with her like this, and then watch the Spring Festival Gala.
During this period, his mobile phone rang from time to time, there were several calls, and more WeChat messages. The call was from Liu Kun and Xiyun, and the WeChat was from some relatives, classmates, friends, and mainly colleagues who sent New Year greetings.
He also made a few phone calls, mainly to a few elders, and sent out some red envelopes.
In comparison, Yang Jinxia's cell phone never rang.
It wasn't until the countdown to zero that she stood up from her chair and said, "I have to go."
Chen Xu sent her downstairs.
"After the Lantern Festival, you can come to my office to discuss cooperation." After getting into the car, she said.
"Okay, let's make an appointment then." Chen Xu watched the car disappear around the corner, and felt that this new year was not bad.
Back at the rented house, the smell of her still seemed to remain in the house. He looked at the computer, the host was announcing the official end of the party, and stepped forward to turn it off.
He pulled up the chair, went to the computer, took out his mobile phone, saw a few unread messages on QQ, clicked on it, it was from Bai Jinxuan, he saw it just now, but he didn't click on it.
This is his basic principle, in front of one of them, try not to contact the other two women.
After he opened it, there were some New Year greetings on it. He couldn't help but smile, he saw her on TV just now, it's really thoughtful to be able to send him a message at a time like this.
He replied a message, put down his phone, opened the webpage, and started looking for a house.
After a while, Bai Jinxuan replied, "It's so late, are you still busy?"
"When there are guests at home, they will look for a house online."
"What, do you want to buy a house?"
"Renting a house, after the new year, ready to move."
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, which city are you in?"
"City G."
After a while, the other person replied, "I have a friend who just wants to rent out a house, do you want to see it?"
Chen Xu rubbed his chin, she didn't have any friends, she must be talking about herself. She is not very good at managing money. After earning money, she used it to buy a house. Due to the purchase restriction policy and money, she has only bought two houses in City G, one in her name and the other in her mother's name. Down.
Naturally, he had no reason to refuse, and replied, "Okay, you can give me your friend's contact information at that time, and I will contact you after the Chinese New Year."
