bow

As if in harmony with the rhythm of the piano, raindrops stick to the glass walls on all sides. The restaurant is next to a verdant artificial lake. In the hazy rain and fog, it looks like an architectural model floating on the water. The verses also came to my mind unconsciously.

The well-trained waiter brought them the tableware. After Zhong Shuli bowed slightly to express his gratitude, he said, "Is today a special day?"

"If there's anything special, it's probably because Jize has already started his holiday." He shrugged and smiled, "Forget it, it's just that I don't want to cook today. I heard that this restaurant is quite difficult. It's perfect to ask you out to support the scene."

Although diners are flocking to it, this restaurant claims to be the most unfriendly to customers in Liucheng. Not only are the menus in foreign languages, but even the waiters in the store are not allowed to speak Chinese.

"The reason why it is difficult for diners is because this restaurant is opened by a foreigner. Its ingredients are either the most expensive, or they are airlifted from abroad, so the supply is very small, and I don't want to be wasted by customers who are greedy for freshness. seat."

"I didn't expect you to return it clearly. I borrowed Xiao Zai's appointment to fix the location this time."

"Well, well, I know the owner of this store. I checked around Liucheng, and finally suggested that my dad should take down the current site from the commercial street in the CBD to Huansha Lake. The store manager is very obsessed with this lake view, It’s just that the money is not enough, and the restaurant will take at least two years to complete, so I advised my dad to give up the land use right through personal equity participation.”

"So how many restaurants in Liucheng do you control?"

"Not much, not much. I didn't have much money at the time, and I was basically investing for the Gao family. Now the projects that are actually larger than expected are only about [-]%."

"Thirty percent is not a small amount. Gao's comeback after the earthquake is due to Mr. Gao's vision." Although the post-earthquake reconstruction of Sandu was rapid, the focus of economic development of the entire province was still shifted to Liucheng during this period. .Due to the wind and fire, coupled with Gao's original management, Liucheng flourished, and it also took advantage of the situation to pull Gao's after the earthquake.

"It's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse." Zhong Shuli shook the wine glass in his hand.

"Sir, do you need my service?" Following the enchanting voice, a woman with a bumpy figure stood in front of the table, facing Lu Shijun's direction. She was not a waiter. clothing.

Zhong Shuli looked at the woman's "breast-exposing" clothes, silently raised the corners of her lips and shook her head.

"no need."

"Really?" The woman suddenly leaned over, her breasts almost touching Lu Shijun's eyes, and teasingly said, "Why not, Mr. Lu? Do you not want to, or can't?"

Zhong Shuli said from the side: "Miss, this is a restaurant, not a bar. If the night is long and lonely, I suggest you go shopping in Night Street at night. If you really can't wait, there are many online shops that deliver same day. There is always one that meets your needs."

Lu Shijun saw that he was a bit hesitant, and cast a "guess" look, then smiled and looked at the angry woman.

Zhong Shuli understood, and glanced up and down: "There are thin calluses on the hands, no fake nails, no ring marks on the fingers, maybe they have never worn a ring, or the four fingers may be worn alternately. Silicone pads are placed on the neck. The necklace pendant is not made of silver, the earrings are set with diamonds, and the color contact lenses."

"There are indentations on the bridge of the nose and between the ears, but there are no white edges. Although the hair has been permed, judging from the new hair on the sideburns, it should be naturally curly."

The beautiful woman at the table was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect that she would become the object of the two people's riddles.

Like a student who started to check the answers after the exam, the two said separately:

"Blood."

"Foreigners."

"There are different styles of jewelry on your body."

"Emotional history is complicated."

"office lady."

"The bottom of the food chain, making ends meet."

"Have a domestic background but work abroad."

"Following the boss's little assistant who just arrived in China, he was instructed to come here to disrupt the situation." Lu Shijun stretched out his hand to help the glasses that no longer existed, and said with a smile: "When it comes to women, I still don't observe as carefully as you."

Zhong Shuli was also polite: "That's right, I majored in the history of Western art in college."

The female assistant suddenly became angry: "f*ckoff! Do you think you are Sherlock, why are you judging me?"

Lu Shijun whispered: "Your assistant, will you do what your boss tells you? In contrast, Escort will come in faster."

Just as the woman was about to explode, a voice came: "Shelia, step back."

Zhong Shuli looked at the person who came, and sighed a little: "Originally, the boss here met me once, so there is no way I would do it in front of a full house of guests in his shop."

"So? Gao always feels that the music here is not enjoyable enough, do you want to show off your skills and enliven the atmosphere?" Si Chen smiled gracefully.

Lu Shijun also imitated Zhong Shuli's tone and sighed: "Today, I'm here to have a good meal, and I don't want to see anything dazzling before the appetizers are served anyway."

Si Chen's eyes narrowed: "At first, I didn't intend to disturb the two Yaxing. But when I thought that I couldn't invite Mr. Lu to Jiangbin's restaurant, and I ran into him talking and having a feast with Mr. Zhong today, there is always a kind of clothes that are not as good as new ones." Depressed."

"You've misunderstood Shijun. It's really because Jiang Bin's restaurant is too bad, and he can't directly dislike your taste, so he declined your invitation."

"I thought that if it was an invitation from an old friend, even if the food was rough, I would still be happy."

Lu Shijun said: "I don't think Mr. Si and I have any friendship other than the friendship of classmates. Although we have known each other earlier, it's just a casual acquaintance. How do you say it?"

"The white head is as new, and the cover is as old as before?" Zhong Shuli added.

"Exactly." Lu Shijun nodded.

Si Chen froze on the spot, when the dining cart was pushed to the table, he had no choice but to take a step back, watching the two of them eating smoothly, said angrily: "Lu Shijun, I'll wait for you outside."

After the two of them sat down and left the banquet, they saw Si Chen sitting outside under the eaves. The drizzle wet half of the table outside the door. He looked at the door motionlessly, his face turned pale.The beautiful assistant stood beside her, staring at the raindrops blown in by the wind from time to time, stroking her arm with her arms crossed.

Zhong Shuli said to the waiter beside him: "Would you please treat ones outside a glass of hot water"

Then he said to Lu Shijun: "Go and say a few words. I really want to throw him over the shoulder so that he can crawl to you, but you don't seem to have that deep hostility towards him. I'll go talk to the boss Say hello and talk to him slowly."

Lu Shijun rolled her eyes: "If you don't come to help me, what if we talk about rebuilding the old one?"

Zhong Shuli rubbed his hair: "That's not possible. Just attack the ring on his hand. If he dares to say such a thing, the beautiful assistant next to him will have to carry it home today." He took off his coat Come down and hand it to the other party.

Lu Shijun stood where she was, straightened her hairstyle: "Did I never tell you that touching the head is a very offensive behavior except for elders?"

Not only was he touching his head, he was pressed against the wall by another person and trapped in his arms, and when his eyes were hot, he was bitten by the hot lips and teeth. He wanted to push away but felt that he was making a fuss, so he obediently hugged the other person's back , Let the mania and enthusiasm of the other party crush him and then resonate with each other electromagnetically. This feeling, for a boy who has been educated by traditional masculine character, is actually not as beautiful as he imagined.

"Really? Then I will stop in the future." Zhong Shuli promised.

Lu Shijun smiled: "I don't like being touched on the head, but touching my hair is still acceptable."

He walked out of the door, handed his coat to the shivering little assistant, glanced at the untouched water glass on the table, and said, "Mr. Si, why don't you drink some hot water?"

"Zhong Shuli inside, what's your relationship with him?" He asked in a questioning tone.

"It's none of your business. It's you, if you have anything to say, let's finish it at once."

Si Chen said harshly: "Why? I can't figure it out. After three years of relationship, why did you just abandon it all when you said no."

Lu Shijun picked up the water glass, slowly rubbed the wall of the glass, and said: "The service of this restaurant is really considerate, and the temperature of this glass of hot water is controlled at around [-] or [-] degrees Celsius. You really shouldn't let down their kindness." Yes. If the other party pours you a cup of scalding hot water and forces it into your hand, you might turn your head and leave."

The other party was silent for a while, and said, "What about now, is it still possible for us?"

Lu Shijun put down the water glass: "Which city in the United States do you usually live in?"

"LA."

"Really? I have stayed in LA for nearly three years, and I occasionally think about what it would be like to meet you on the road one day. Maybe China is too small, or LA is too big, or the most fundamental thing is that there is no fate, so that we I can't meet again. Although I learned historical materialism since I was a child, I still have to believe in fate from time to time."

Si Chen sneered and said, "Then what about him, an outcast from the Gao family who has lost power? Do you believe that you two have a so-called fate?"

"I don't believe it. But he is my destiny." Lu Shijun said seriously, "This is not some childish love talk, but a necessary and insufficient condition in various senses."
