A few days later, Jiang Zijian tidied up his clothes that were popular on Taobao, including a white striped polo shirt, khaki trousers, and a pair of sneakers that cost 60 yuan. Holding the volume of "Youth Digest" in his hand as a prop, he sat down in Starbucks and flipped through the wallet that the assistant had specially prepared for him for this blind date. There were a bunch of dazzling cards in it that he didn't know what to do. Forget it. It's just that the collar label on the back of the T-shirt on his body was stabbed, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Hi!" Jiang Zijian raised his hand, and a boy who looked like a college student was wearing a plaid cotton shirt with sleeves rolled up, peas shoes, and a silver necklace around his neck, and said enthusiastically to him: "You it is good!"
Jiang Zijian smiled brightly: "Are you just off work?"
"Yes, yes, the bell is going down." Tong Kai saw Jiang Zijian, his eyes lit up and said, "Brother is resting today?"
"Scheduled rest, until eight o'clock in the evening, and you have to work the night shift, what do you drink?" Jiang Zijian said, "I treat you to drink! I just want to have a cup of coffee, otherwise I will not be energetic at night."
Tong Kai hurriedly said: "I'll come, I just paid my salary."
"I'll come, I'll come." Jiang Zijian said, "I received a tip of 200 yuan today."
Jiang Zijian went to the cashier to order drinks, and Tong Kai hurriedly followed. Jiang Zijian said, "Two big cups of vanilla latte..."
Tong Kai: "It's fine to have a medium cup. I don't drink much, so don't waste money."
Cashier: "We have three types of cups. The large cup you want is a medium cup. The medium cup is actually a small cup. This is the largest cup type. Is the large cup you are talking about a medium cup or an extra large cup?"
Jiang Zijian was confused by the coffee shop and thought, are you acting with me on purpose? Not like it. Said: "Then take any cup...just get the cup."
"The medium cup is the smallest cup."
"I mean big cup..."
"A large cup is actually a medium cup, or do you want to order a super large cup?"
Jiang Zijian: "Honey, are you practicing my tongue twister?"
"This cup shape." Tong Kai understood Jiang Zijian's needs accurately, and pointed his finger at a paper cup that looked like a medium cup but was actually called a large cup.
"Would you like to upgrade to a super large cup? Just add five yuan..."
"Sheng Sheng Sheng." Jiang Zijian finally got rid of the curse of the medium cup, large cup, and super large cup, and said to Tong Kai, "Brother, you are welcome."
Tong Kai had just passed his twenty-ninth birthday. When his assistant helped him chat and hook up online, he reported his age as twenty-three, which happened to be one year younger than Jiang Zijian. When he heard this address, he was not used to it, and hurriedly said: " If you can't finish it, don't waste it."
"It's only five yuan," Jiang Zijian said with a smile, "It doesn't matter."
"Five yuan is also money." Tong Kai said distressedly, and walked over to wait for coffee.
"Please enter your credit card PIN."
Jiang Zijian: "..."
Cashier: "?"
Jiang Zijian: "How much is it? Forgot, wait, let me ask... No, no, no, just swipe this one." He took out a black card from his trouser pocket and said, "This one doesn't need a password. Quick, thank you."
The cashier swiped it, and Jiang Zijian quickly put the card away, fortunately, Tong Kai didn't see it.
The two took coffee and sat in front of the glass wall by the window. Jiang Zijian glanced at the shop with a classy look, and said to Tong Kai, "I like to come here when I am on vacation and order a cup of vanilla latte. , sit in the store all afternoon, read books, and spend free time.”
Tong Kai said: "I also like coming here. There are many good things that you can't see in my hometown."
Jiang Zijian said: "Are you homesick when you come to a big city by yourself?"
Tong Kai thought for a while and said: "It's okay, I'm a little homesick, my parents are in He, He... Henan."
"Ah." Jiang Zijian said, "I'm from the Central Plains, tall and handsome. My ancestral home is in the northwest."
Tong Kai said seriously: "I bought a copy of the book you shared with me!"
Book? Jiang Zijian didn't remember mentioning this in the materials, and he might have missed it. Then Tong Kai took out a copy of "Amitabha Buddha" and said, "I bought it at the night market. It's very cheap, only eight yuan a catty."
Jiang Zijian was a little puzzled, guessing that the manager's younger brother recommended it to the other party, he came back to his senses and said: "Okay, good! This book is my favorite."
The coffee was placed on the table, but neither of them drank it. After a brief silence, Jiang Zijian only looked at Tong Kai with a smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Tong Kai also thought this person was very interesting. The assistant was a girl, and when chatting with Jiang Zijian, she would always be amused by him, which attracted Tong Kai's attention. After seeing the photos, Tong Kai specifically asked his assistant for advice, changed his body, and came out to meet netizens.
"Laugh at you, you look handsome, like a star." Jiang Zijian has such an unreserved personality, as long as he likes it, he can praise people.
This time, Tong Kai made up his mind that he must not let the other party know that he is rich, and he also does not want to repeat the failed love experience of the last time. But he never expected that the first person he met in this way would actually make his heart flutter.
Jiang Zijian was also a little surprised. Originally, he just had an attitude of trying, but he didn't expect that the quality of the other party was so high, and he didn't look like working in a foot bath center at all.
"It must be hard work." Jiang Zijian said.
Tong Kai was asked by a boy who was five years younger than himself and worked as a doorman in a hotel, "Is your work hard?" He just wanted to laugh out loud, and finally held back, and replied: "It's okay, get promoted to senior soon." The foot bather."
"That's good!" Jiang Zijian thought this man was very motivated.
Tong Kai said, "I'm just tired and often work overtime."
"To make money and survive, there is no other way," Jiang Zijian replied.
Tong Kai said sincerely: "After being promoted to a senior level, one foot can get an extra commission of three dollars."
"Very good!" Jiang Zijian nodded repeatedly and said, "Then when can we stop pressing the feet?"
Tong Kai replied: "What's the matter? Do what you do and love what you do. I like this job. It's great."
Jiang Zijian immediately changed his tune and said, "I'm afraid you'll be tired."
Tong Kai calmed down a little, and said: "After the transfer, I hope to be transferred to the medicinal bath center next year. I can massage the shoulders of the guests and feel more comfortable."
Jiang Zijian suddenly thought of this little boy giving a customer a massage, would it be... a little worried, his expression just changed, Tong Kai read his inner thoughts, and quickly clarified: "We have never had such a thing in our shop. occur."
"What kind of thing?" Jiang Zijian asked with a smile on his face.
"The kind of thing you think." Tong Kai almost couldn't hide his aggressive nature, and quickly covered it up with a smile.
Jiang Zijian replied, "I don't think about anything."
Tong Kai smiled without saying a word, Jiang Zijian thought about it, and added: "We don't have that kind of thing in our hotel either."
Now both of them laughed so hard that they lay crookedly on the sofa, Tong Kai said, "Brother, you are so interesting."
"Okay." Jiang Zijian took out his phone with a broken screen, glanced at it, and said, "It's time for dinner, let's go have a meal and continue chatting?"
"I'll treat you to dinner!" Tong Kai said proactively, "You bought me coffee. I know there is a western restaurant here. I just paid my salary. You must let me buy it."
Jiang Zijian said bluntly, "Okay, then I won't be polite."
Tong Kai: "Don't forget the coffee."
Tong Kai took Jiang Zijian to a self-service steak shop. After being seated, Tong Kai went to the front desk to pay first. After a long time of operation, he really couldn't use it. He said to the cashier manager at the front desk: "Forget it, just swipe the card." He also took out a card. Hei Ka casually said: "The color of the lipstick is very nice."
"Thank you." The cashier manager laughed and said, "I'll send you a fruit plate."
"How well done do you want the steak to be?" The waiter came over to order.
"Eight points." Tong Kai acted faithfully according to the script.
"I want eight points too." Jiang Zijian added, "Don't overcook it."
After the waiter wrote it down, the two began to chat, back and forth. Jiang Zijian asked Tong Kai what he usually likes to do. Tong Kai’s answer was to use Douyin. Tong Kai asked Jiang Zijian where he lived, and Jiang Zijian told him that the hotel provides dormitories for eight people, and he will go back to the village in the city to see his parents on weekends.
"I haven't been to your hotel yet." Tong Kai said, "The decoration is really beautiful."
Jiang Zijian replied, "It's boring. A glass of water sells for sixty yuan. It's too expensive. Idiots go there to spend money. What's wrong with that money?"
"That's right." Tong Kai saw the wallet Jiang Zijian was dangling back and forth in his hand, and complimented enviously, "This is LV, right? Was it a gift from a friend?"
Jiang Zijian said, "I bought myself a birthday present from Taobao. It's a high imitation. Do you like it? I'll buy you another day."
Tong Kai said: "Now the high imitation is becoming more and more real." At the same time, he thought that this person is very honest, and honesty is the best quality of a person, but suddenly felt wrong. According to the current personality design, how could he know real or fake
Jiang Zijian didn't think much of it, and said casually, "Yes, many people like to buy famous brands, so it's not worth it."
The steak came up, sizzling and steaming, poured with pungent sauce, and spread it on the iron plate into a ball. There was an unidentified mass stuck to the vegetable salad, and a snot-like foam was floating on the cream soup.
Both of them tried their best not to look at it, Tong Kai ate a mouthful of salad, Jiang Zijian stirred the bowl of creamy mushroom soup with a spoon, creating a warm atmosphere that he was satisfied with eating. Tong Kai asked Jiang Zijian what zodiac sign he was, opened another software, and started a speed-dating, and the speed-dating rate was 95%. In the noisy restaurant, the guests were yelling, but there seemed to be a different romantic atmosphere.
Jiang Zijian began to regret it a little. If they really got together, they would celebrate their anniversary in the future, wouldn't they come to this western restaurant every year? After thinking about it, I suddenly had an idea, I can buy this store and do it again.
Tong Kai said: "I didn't go to college, this is the regret of my life."
"It's okay." Jiang Zijian comforted, "You can take a self-examination, it's the same. I'm preparing for the adult college entrance examination, and I'll take the exam next year."
Tong Kai said: "Then let's review together when we have time? When I was in vocational high school, the teacher often praised me."
"Okay." Jiang Zijian said, "The next time I bring out the registration form and teaching materials, let's review together!"
Tong Kai was a little touched immediately, during which he answered a phone call, and the assistant said: "Mr. Tong, the United States asked if we could hold a temporary meeting. It only takes up 20 minutes of your time. Mr. Hu hopes you can come back as soon as possible." .”
Tong Kai frowned: "It's outside, I don't have time, let them wait."
Jiang Zijian: "How can you keep the customers waiting? If the customers order, it proves that they recognize you."
Tong Kai came back to his senses in an instant, and said with a smile: "Brother is right, I'll go back right away."
"Then I'll ask the driver to pick you up?" the assistant said, "He's losing his temper in the office."
"I'll go back by myself." Tong Kai was very careful this time, and said, "Wait for me for half an hour, you first... that... get some bear cakes for Hu... let them eat, and let everyone watch TV for a while."
Assistant: "Uh... Mr. Tong, Mr. Hu and the bosses are all in the office, playing the video, going crazy. I think they may not want to eat snacks and watch TV now..."
"Let's do this first." Tong Kai said, "Hang up."
"I'll take you off." Jiang Zijian just didn't want to eat, so he got up quickly. Tong Kai knew that there must be something wrong with the head office of Nuolin's office, and he caused them trouble again, so he hurriedly said, "I take the subway. The stop is here."
"Send you, send you..."
"It's really unnecessary, brother, continue to eat, don't waste it..."
"Hey, don't forget the coffee."
"That's right." Tong Kai also remembered, and the two took their coffee and left the restaurant.
Jiang Zijian swept the shared bicycle, pressed the handlebar, said goodbye to Tong Kai at the intersection, and said, "See you tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow?" Tong Kai said, "I'll take a day off and call you the day after tomorrow."
"It's a deal, bye."
Tong Kai got off the subway station, found the trash can and threw away the coffee, passed the entrance, walked out from the exit, turned into the underground garage of a shopping mall, touched his body for a long time, finally found out the car key, pressed it, and the Ferrari lighted up With the headlights on, Tong Kai got in the car and drove away.
Jiang Zijian rode a shared bicycle, found a pile at the next intersection, returned the bicycle, and went around to the nearest Jiangman Continental Hotel. Without the T-shirt, I changed into a change of clothes in the driver's seat and drove out.
"Mr. Jiang, have you had dinner yet?" The store manager stood by the sentry post and bowed, "There are new truffles arriving today, do you want to try them?"
Jiang Zijian was in a good mood today, rolled down the window and said, "I'm going to eat at a friend's house, help me throw this away, thank you!"
Jiang Zijian handed her a full cup of vanilla latte, waved his hand, and drove the sports car away.
Tianhe stayed in the study for three full days, and when he finally came out, his hair was disheveled and his face was haggard. It just so happened that Jiang Zijian was having lunch in the living room and waiting for him to leave the customs. Aunt Fang brought over the bird's nest porridge, put it on the table, and said, "You're too busy, let's relieve your boredom."
"I want to tell you..." Jiang Zijian couldn't wait to share his latest date with Tiantian.
Tianhe tidied himself up, blow-dried his hair, and felt a lot more comfortable. He moved his stiff neck, while Jiang Zijian told him eloquently how he had found true love by carefully interpreting the script.
Tianhe drank some porridge, which tasted very good, and opened up his numb taste buds after three consecutive days of eating without taste.
"It's full of loopholes." After listening to Jiang Zijian's sharing, Tianhe commented simply.
Jiang Zijian said: "Wu Shun helped you find another company, this time it might be able to provide you with a guarantee, I will meet you today."
"Another day." Tianhe said, "The itinerary has already been arranged. I have to go door to door today, and I have to hire another assistant. I have to visit the organization in a few days."
Jiang Zijian said: "Wu Shun is very enthusiastic. I really suggest you talk to him. Last time, I didn't have a chance... Huh? Or should I be your assistant?"
Tianhe: "No! What if you mess with other people's directors later... I can't explain it."
Jiang Zijian: "The director last time was very good! He is young and promising, and has a baby face."
Tianhe: "Oh? I thought you changed your taste. Wu Shun should be good, right?"
Tianhe glanced at Jiang Zijian suspiciously, with a smile in his eyes. The tacit understanding over the years didn't even need Tianhe to ask, Jiang Zijian understood, and said casually: "He is not interested in me! We never discuss this topic. I know what you're trying to say, I'm just as you guessed."
"Well." Tianhe replied, "The domestic environment is like this, especially in the civil service system."
Jiang Zijian said: "However, I can feel that he is very envious of me being able to come out to the family in a big way."
"Your actors, male models, and internet celebrity boys." Tianhe said with a smile, "They can all form a football team. It's impossible for your father to know."
Jiang Zijian said: "I'm serious! After so many years, I have never been like when I saw Xiaokai. When I saw him, I felt that there was something interesting. In his eyes and personality, I think we are too suitable... I speak He listens carefully when he talks, and I want to listen carefully when he talks...and we rarely talk about money!"
Tianhe said: "Don't get too involved in the drama, why not think about it carefully, what if the truth is known?"
Jiang Zijian said: "Yes! So today, I came to you to discuss countermeasures. Now I know in my heart that he fell in love with me when I had nothing. So no matter how much he asks me later, I will always Thinking about this wonderful encounter! Ah!"
Jiang Zijian stretched his waist, and said, "Besides, no one else wants this or that. Of course, it's not too close..."
"The family is right, which means that lovers have the same pursuit." Aunt Fang brought coffee, put it on the table, and said patiently, "Your vision can be cultivated, and if the family conditions can't keep up, you can learn slowly. No one is born Just understand these."
Jiang Zijian smiled and said, "That's right, Aunt Fang said the same thing."
Tianhe said: "I don't have any idea about the so-called 'right family'. Like Guan Yue, the family is right. Why don't we go to help the poor?"
Jiang Zijian laughed heartily, and took out the phone with the broken screen. Aunt Fang glanced at it, and was about to ask if she should take it for repair, when Tianhe explained: "He plays too much, so he likes to use this."
Jiang Zijian brimming with the shy smile of a big boy who fell in love, earnestly replied Tong Kai's message on his mobile phone with two fingers like a mantis, and said to Tianhe: "When I am going to have a showdown, Give him a surprise. You help me plan the plan?"
Tianhe thought for a while and said, "Take him to Paris."
Jiang Zijian said, "Last time I asked about Zodiac and found out about his birthday. I want to ask my uncle to bring the helicopter over on his birthday. Do you think he will be angry?"
Tianhe said sincerely: "If it were me, I might, Zijian, I'm not joking."
"Uh." Jiang Zijian also realized that he had gone too far, "How about I buy the Foot Bath City and give it to him as a gift?"
"Ha ha ha ha-"
At that time, Tong Kai didn't know that he might receive a foot bath city as a confession gift, and he was happily sharing with Guan Yue the details of what happened during these days in Guan Yue's office.
Guan Yue's expression was calm, and Tong Kai said again: "... If you know that I am five years older than him, I don't know what kind of expression it is. Now I have two questions. First, will he be angry? Second, it looks like A top." Tong Kai frowned again and said, "It shouldn't be because of this that the final shoot will be separated?"
After reading today's financial news, Guan Yue did not raise his eyebrows, and was very calm.
"The renminbi has fallen too much." Tong Kai's thinking is always jumping, "After the trade war started, in New York a few days ago, several Chinese companies have been investigated one after another, and one of them is our big customer. Yours The big boss didn't summon you?"
"On the way." Guan Yue replied.
Tong Kai: "What?" Then he realized that the problem was a bit serious, and said, "Come here in person?"
Guan Yue didn't answer, Tong Kai said: "The reception is busy enough for a while."
The chief financial officer knocked on the door, and Tong Kai said, "Come in, I'm leaving now."
The chief assistant followed in, shook off the suit jacket, and asked Guan Yue to put it on. Guan Yue looked in the mirror and left the company with Tong Kai. Nearly ten executives followed suit one after another, and six black Lincolns drove out, and the motorcade was mighty, driving to the airport.
