"Let's go cook the hot pot!" Lin Na happily took Sheng Jiaoyang to eat hot pot.
Today is the last day to eat out this year. Many people gather with friends for dinner, so business in hot pot restaurants is booming.
Especially in hot pot restaurants with good taste and good service, customers queue up, waiting to be seated.
"Hello, do you two have an appointment?" the waiter at the door asked with a smile.
"No." Lin Na also made an impromptu decision to make an appointment.
"Sorry, if you don't have a reservation, you have to take a number here and wait to be seated."
"Don't you have some kind of reserved private room?" Lin Na glanced at the people queuing over there and turned to ask the waiter.
The waiter looked at Lin Na who was wearing a mask in surprise and said, "The reserved private room can only be used with the approval of our manager."
"Then call your manager."
"This?" The waiter looked at them again and went to call the manager. Since he knew that they had reserved private rooms in the store, he must be a regular customer.
"Beautiful girl, why are you so familiar with this place?"
"Lin Yu took us here to eat before."
While the two were talking, the waiter came over with a woman in a suit.
"Hello, ladies, how can I help you?" the woman asked with a polite smile.
"It's my friend's birthday and we want to eat hot pot. Don't you have reserved private rooms here? Give us one."
The smile on the female manager's face did not change and she said: "Since you know that our store has reserved private rooms, you must also know that only our gold medal members can enjoy the right to use reserved private rooms."
"When Lin Yu and I came here last time, I didn't see you asking him for a membership. What are the requirements for joining your membership? I'll apply for one now." Lin Na raised her chin slightly and said.
The female manager smiled more kindly and said, "It turns out that you are a friend of Master Lin. Please come with me."
People queuing over there saw that the two people here didn't look like they had made reservations in advance. The manager said a few words and took them in. Someone muttered dissatisfiedly: "Can you jump in line like this? Then we are still in line. What are you doing here?”
The girl at the front desk replied with a smile: "Those two guests made reservations directly with our manager, so our manager will personally take them to their seats."
"What's your manager's number? From now on, we will make a reservation directly with her." The customer said with a mocking look on his face.
"Hello, if you spend more than 1,000 yuan at a time, you can become our gold medal member, and you will be personally received by our manager Liu in the future."
The yelling customer immediately shut up. If there weren't many people gathering for dinner, one hot pot meal wouldn't cost more than a thousand yuan. Unless he ordered a lot of seafood, how could anyone with a monthly salary of just a few thousand afford such a way of eating? .
When they arrived at the private room, they turned on the heater, and the two thickly wrapped people quickly took off their cold-proof gear.
"Huh?" Manager Liu was surprised and looked at Sheng Jiaoyang who was arranging her hair, "Are you Xu Jiaojiao?"
Sheng Jiaoyang pushed up the frame of the mirror, looked at Manager Liu and smiled: "Can you recognize me like this?"
"My daughter particularly likes your role as Zhen Xin. Can you please sign an autograph for my daughter?" Manager Liu asked slightly excitedly.
"Your daughter?" Sheng Jiaoyang was happy, "You are so young, is your daughter five years old?"
A little lolita who is less than five years old is sitting in front of the TV and following the TV series she is starring in. The scene makes people laugh just thinking about it.
"My daughter is twelve years old this year." Manager Liu said.
"Wow, you can't tell at all!" Sheng Jiaoyang and Lin Na were both surprised. Manager Liu looked less than thirty. They didn't expect the child to be so old.
"I got married too early and made you two laugh."
"What a joke. It's good for you to be like this. When your child grows up, you will still be very young."
Manager Liu pursed her lips and smiled. She neatly handed the menu to them and said, "Let's see what you want to eat. Fresh shrimps and crabs came to our store today, and the vegetables were also collected from the farm this morning."
"Okay, let's take a look for ourselves first." Lin Na flipped through the menu.
Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Manager Liu: "Don't you want me to sign? Where do you want me to sign?"
"Can you please wait? I want to find a better book."
"Of course, as long as it's before I leave."
Manager Liu immediately showed a grateful look. She suddenly remembered another thing and asked cautiously: "Today is your birthday?"
Sheng Jiaoyang smiled and said, "My birthday is tomorrow, but I will be at home with my family tomorrow on New Year's Eve, so I came out early to get together today."
"So that's it."
After ordering the meal, Manager Liu left.
"You are quite famous now!" Lin Na raised her hand and hooked Sheng Jiaoyang's chin.
"Not as good as you."
"What you said is wrong. Your fame here far exceeds mine. When walking on the street, everyone must recognize you first. It's hard to say whether they recognize me or not," Lin Na said.
This is the difference between acting in TV series and acting in movies. There is still a difference in the audience rate between TV series and movies. The popularity of TV series will naturally drive the popularity of actors. From starring to supporting roles, as long as the role is attractive, the popularity can also increase greatly, while movies Actors' popularity may not increase much if they become popular, unless they can get a trophy or something to add a special halo to their bodies. Nowadays, in most commercial films, the popularity of the actors basically drives the film's fame, and the leading actors themselves have considerable popularity foundations.
Nowadays, traffic stars are almost equal to economic benefits, which is why major productions like to hire traffic stars as leading actors, while powerful actors without traffic can often only play supporting roles.
In addition to being a supermodel, Lin Na is now also a movie star. She is quite popular abroad, but she may not be accustomed to it in China. Only those who usually pay attention to the trends in the fashion industry know her. Sheng Jiaoyang is different. She starred in the heroine of a TV series that became very popular as soon as it aired. Her performance in the TV series is remarkable and attracts attention. In addition, she has a certain topicality. She It’s hard not to become famous.
Sheng Jiaoyang rested his head on Lin Na's shoulder and said, "Beautiful girl, so many things have happened in the past six months. It feels like several years have passed."
Lin Na raised her hand and stroked her head, "As long as you are okay, everything feels fine."
"I'm so touched, beautiful girl, why don't you give me your blessing?" Sheng Jiaoyang raised his head and looked at Lin Na tenderly.
"What does it mean to commit oneself?"
"..." Well, she forgot that Mei Niu's Chinese is countless times worse than hers.
Lin Na grew up in Italy, and spent most of her teenage years boarding in schools. Lin Na can now speak fluent Mandarin thanks to her training, but don't let Lin Na know anything deeper. This guy can't even think about it. People who can’t tell the difference between love at first sight and feeling like old friends at first sight.
Sheng Jiaoyang leaned back in the chair behind him and sighed: "We will definitely be busier and busier in the future, and leisurely gatherings like now will be very rare."
"What can be done? This is the pain of growing up. The older a person is, the more troubles he has."
"Yeah, so we have to cherish the moment."
"Dong dong dong" the knock on the door sounded.
"Please come in."
The waitress who came in with tea walked in nervously but excitedly. She put down the tea and glanced at Sheng Jiaoyang.
Sheng Jiaoyang blinked at her. The girl was startled and almost jumped with excitement.
"I'll help you wash the dishes and chopsticks." The girl actively helped them wash the cups and dishes.
The girl gave priority to washing the cups, spoons and dishes in front of Sheng Jiaoyang. After washing, she went around to wash the dishes in front of Lin Na. After washing the dishes and pouring them out, she used too much force and the water flowed directly onto the table. It slipped from the table and landed on Lin Na.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The girl kept apologizing in panic.
Lin Na had already stood up. She took a paper towel to absorb the water from her trouser legs, but the speed of absorbing water could not match the speed of water seeping in.
Sheng Jiaoyang saw that Lin Na's pants were wet, frowned, and said, "Otherwise, I won't eat today. I'll change my clothes when I go back."
"There is a hair dryer in the staff lounge!" the waitress who made the mistake said quickly.
"Okay, you take me there."
The waitress led Lin Na out.
Sheng Jiaoyang waited and waited, but Lin Na didn't come back. The hot pot ingredients were all ready. She felt a little uneasy. She got up and walked out. Just as she was about to open the door, the door was already pushed open from the outside in.
Seeing the person pushing the door, Sheng Jiaoyang froze in surprise.
"Brother Lin Yan, why are you here?"
Lin Yan smiled lightly, with handsome features, "I've eaten here with my cousin before. It tasted good, so I brought my friends to try it."
Sheng Jiaoyang rolled his eyes, "Did you know I was here just now?"
"We happened to meet Nana when we came here, and she told me you were here."
"Where's the pretty girl?"
"She was catching up with my friends."
"Who is this friend of yours?" A flash of doubt flashed in Sheng Jiaoyang's eyes, and Lin Na would not fail to say hello to her if she wanted to reminisce about old times. However, Lin Yan is Lin Na's brother. Since Lin Na went to catch up with her friends, there should be no lie.
"His name is Xiwen."
Xiwen? Sheng Jiaoyang's eyebrows rose, and there was a trace of confusion in her eyes. This name was quite unfamiliar to her. From the name, it should be a foreign man. The beautiful girl actually left her alone for a man who was not George? This is incredible.
"Are all the side dishes here?" Lin Yan glanced at the table in the room.
"Brother Lin Yan, did Mei Niu say she would come back?"
"Probably won't come back."
Sheng Jiaoyang's eyes widened in surprise. Who was this Xiwen? The beautiful girl could talk to him all night without any scruples.
"What's the relationship between Xiwen and Mei Niu?" she couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yan looked at her with a smile, "Do you want me to stand at this door and talk to you all the time?"
"Oh, come in quickly." Sheng Jiaoyang reacted.
The corners of Lin Yan's mouth curved deeper, and he walked into the private room unhurriedly.
