evening tide

Chapter 26

Going to the playground was a small episode, and to Xiang Wan, it was an incomplete but still wonderful memory.

This girl Xiang Wan is amazing, even if there are many bad things, as long as there is a little good, in her future memories, it will gradually be this good.

The fireworks show that day was very good, more than a little.

At the beginning of August, both Xiang Wan and Chao Xin's work came to an end, and a small holiday was ushered in.

Xiang Wan kept his promise and went to see the office with Chao Xin.

The Nantai Science and Technology Park is far away, and the two of them drove for nearly an hour and a half to get there. The South Second Ring Road was extremely congested. When it was crowded, it took 1 minutes to drive 20 kilometer.

The southern city is also poorer in planning than the northern one. I have heard people say that the north has the wind and the water, while the south city has poor water quality and tastes hard, but Chao Xin doesn't understand the difference. She can't feel the water's softness or hardness.

Therefore, apart from the slightly criss-crossed streets and overpasses, Nancheng is not too bad for her.

All real estate agents are probably the same, this time it is a little girl, wearing a suit during the dog days, and even a dark suit jacket, buttoned meticulously.

But she is much more professional than Xiao Wang, probably because she specializes in commercial real estate.

When he came up, he first showed his work card, and then handed the printed floor plan and price to Chao Xin: "Ms. Chao, we made two appointments in advance today, one is in Pinchong Building, which is purely an office building, and the other is a commercial building. Living in a dual-use building, Xinwan International, is a little more cost-effective, but there will be some residents inside, the lobby may be more like a hotel, and the office atmosphere is not so strong."

Chao Xin understands the implication, the first one is more expensive, she also checked the price on the Internet, the pure office building is calculated by square meter, 4 yuan per square meter per day, if you want to rent an office of 100 square meters, it is about twelve thousand.

The commercial and residential buildings are leased as a whole, and Xinwan International is a duplex. The upstairs and downstairs are about 140 square meters, and the rent is [-] per month.

However, the high cost performance means that many small companies and even self-employed will open here. Generally speaking, there will be many beauty salons.

Chao Xin thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Xinwan International first."

Originally, she came to Nantai Science and Technology Park for the low price. Of course, she hoped that the cost of the office building would be less.

Xinwan International is just behind the store. It looks like a high-end building with a gleaming facade. There are security guards and parking doormen at the door. It looks like a combination of a high-end apartment and a hotel.

The lobby is resplendent and simple in European style. Although I thought it would be a mixed bag of fish and dragons, in fact there are not many people coming and going in and out of the lobby, and it seems that the law and order are not bad.

Go up the elevator, the rented office is on the top floor, 31st floor.

The real estate agent Xiao Zhu told them in the retro-style elevator: "This house is very good, because it is the top floor, and there is an attic after going up from the second floor. It is quite short and cannot accommodate people, but you want to use it for office. I think it is very suitable to put some office supplies or something, and there is a big terrace from the attic."

"If it's for living, it's okay to hang a quilt or something. It seems that flowers are not allowed on it. If it's for office, for example, if there are male employees in your office, it's not bad to use it as a smoking area."

Xiao Zhu led them out of the elevator, walked into the corridor, and said with a smile: "I like the balcony very much. Sometimes I stand on a high place and overlook the city, and I feel very motivated."

Xiang Wan glanced at her. Xiao Zhu was very good at talking and understood the psychology of target customers. He not only considered the practicality of the office, but also said at the end that he could overlook the South City. Quite tempting.

The corridors are a bit dark, like the corridors of a hotel. They are carpeted like the hotel, and they should be cleaned daily.

Walking along the room, there are indeed some brands of beauty salons, acne treatment institutions, and small media companies.

After pressing the password and opening the door, it suddenly became clear.

Large and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, exquisite and neat decoration, empty and without any decorations and furniture, it seems that the area is very large.

Xiao Zhu "snapped" twice, turned on all the lights, and turned on the air conditioner thoughtfully.

"Downstairs was originally the living room, dining room, open kitchen, bathroom and a small bedroom, but the previous tenant also used it for office work. Look at the open kitchen and she used it as a tea break area. Put a little Snacks, coffee, water dispensers, printers can also be placed here, and they can be fully utilized.”

"The bathroom building is all well-decorated, and they are all the same. You can see that the living room is very large. It can be used as a meeting room, or as an open office area. It is very suitable. It can be roughly Put down the eight sets of workstations."

"As for the small bedroom downstairs, I usually suggest it to be used as a conference room and reception room. If a conference table is placed here, with this floor-to-ceiling window, it will look particularly professional."

Xiang Wan glanced at Chao Xin, she didn't say anything, she was just watching carefully, but Xiang Wan knew that she was quite satisfied.

"Let's go upstairs and have a look?" Xiao Zhu said with a smile, "There are four rooms upstairs. I don't know what your purpose is here, but the office areas for executives and different departments can be set up upstairs. There are two restrooms above."

Chao Xin finally opened his mouth: "You, can you let me pretend?"

"I'm afraid the upstairs will be converted into a recording studio." Xiang Wanrou said.

"There should be no problem with this, but after the lease is over, your equipment will have to be dismantled, and the changes in the walls will be restored. If you want to change the layout, you have to tell us in advance, and we will report to the owner and we will also Find a property to get a construction permit, because you know that load-bearing walls cannot be demolished."

Chao Xin nodded: "We won't move the pattern."

Xiang Wan glanced at her, he was about to say "we" just now, but Chao Xin followed suit.

I am from SC studio, where did "we" come from?

Xiao Zhu was very happy and felt that the progress was going well. She led them up to the second floor, took a brief look at the room, and led them to open the attic and go to the roof.

As soon as she took her legs, Xiao Zhu's phone rang. She glanced at the contact person and said to Chao Xin: "Sister, please take a look at the top of this building first. I have an important call here, and I have to answer it."

"It's okay, you are busy."

Xiao Zhu turned around and went down the phone to the first floor.

A large open terrace, although it is a concrete surface, there is nothing, and it seems that there are not many people coming, but what Xiao Zhu said is good, he drilled out of the reinforced iron frame, stood on the height of the city, and looked at the tall and short. The tall buildings, the distant skyline, and the cool breeze suddenly felt less depressing.

The two stood side by side on the edge, in front of the bronze railing.

Xiang Wan asked her: "How is it?"

"I quite like it." Chao Xin shook his head.

"I guess so."

"I'll probably use the downstairs as a leisure area for meeting clients or something. Two recording studios upstairs are enough, the other one will be my office, and there is another room... let's put a bed."

It's too far away from home, and if she works too late, she won't go back.

Xiang Wan nodded.

"But I like the terrace best."

"Because you can smoke?" Xiang Wan smiled slyly, just now when Xiao Zhu mentioned the smoking area, Xiang Wan frowned.

"No," Chao Xin smiled, pursing his lips, "very childish."

"Oh?" As soon as she said it was naive, Xiang Wan became interested.

Chao Xin took a deep breath, swallowed again, and said after a while, "When I was young, my family was very poor."

She wasn't used to this opening, so she paused and licked her lips.

"That's why I saw a movie for the first time when I was in junior high school. I remember it very clearly. It was that kind of video tape. You are so young, so you must have never seen it. I went to the video hall in the town to watch it. I only watched it for 5 minutes. It's an old movie, Titanic."

What were those 5 minutes to her?It is grotesque, it is another world under the light and shadow, it is blond, it is a luxury cruise ship, it is a screen that is many times larger than a TV, and it is the first time she heard it, dubbing.

The dubbing of dubbed films always impresses people very deeply. They use voice to make images that are completely unfamiliar to a child familiar and vivid.

They are the ones re-telling the story.

"I made a lot of money in those 5 minutes. I happened to watch the classic clips, just Youjump, Ijump." Chao Xin's voice was very gentle, and she read English so sweetly.

"So every time I stand in such a windward place, I have a childish complex, wanting to close my eyes, open my arms, and want to be free."

As she spoke, she really raised her head and closed her eyes.

It's just that the arm didn't let go, and it was still hanging on the railing.

The world fell silent for a few seconds in her voice.

Then came the whistling wind.

Then, the waist and abdomen tightened, and a heat source came from behind, Xiang Wan hugged her from behind, rubbed his cheek against her right cheek, and asked her in a low voice: "Is that so?"

She has also seen this movie, the restored Blu-ray version, and watched it on TV.

Chao Xin's heart stretched and contracted, and once again he felt the same tight resonance as in the elevator when he was looking at the house.

Slightly released her lips, only her name was in her mouth: "Xiang Wan."

Xiang Wan let her go and leaned against the railing, looking at the entangled shadows of the two on the ground.

Blinking her eyes, she said to her in a sweet voice that seemed to be ignorant of the world: "There is one thing I want to tell you."

"What?" Chao Xin had a faint premonition, but her mouth was a little dry, so she didn't have time to think about it.

Xiang Wan took a breath, and said frankly: "I said before sharing the apartment with you that I am very self-restraining and respectful. Because I like girls, I will pay attention to some boundaries when interacting with you."

"But I didn't do it." She bit the corner of her mouth.

"I have to confess to you that on the night of the power outage, I wanted to kiss you a little, a little, for a second." Xiang Wan frowned.

"I'm not sure if it was a spur of the moment that day, or if there's something wrong with me."

Her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

"What's wrong?" Chao Xin didn't understand.

Xiang Wan never looked at her, just stared at the shadow, and said slowly: "You also know that the first person I liked also lived in her house."

She fell into self-doubt.

Could it be that she is really a fledgling that cannot be separated from others, why does she always have the feeling of wanting to be kissed after moving into someone else's house?

Hearing what she said, Chao Xin also lowered her eyes. Xiang Wan probably meant that she still likes Yu Zhou, and because she lived in her own home, her daily routine with her reminded her of the past, so...

Chao Xin pressed the tip of his tongue against his mouth, and his fingers were empty, trying to touch the cigarette case, but there was no cigarette case on him.

"After thinking about it, I still want to tell Teacher Chao frankly, I don't know if you mind this kind of relationship, if you... think I'm weird, I can move out as soon as possible."

Having said that, Xiang Wan felt relaxed, but not at the same time.

"I……"

Chao Xin paused, carefully choosing his words: "I, thank you for speaking directly to me."

At least respect her.

"I have never been in a relationship, and I don't know what kind of person I would like, so I am not interested in men and women, straight or curvy, and of course, I will not reject them."

For more than 30 years, she has lived like this.

but……

"I can only say that I was quite comfortable when you held me just now."

"Maybe," Chao Xin raised his eyes and looked at her, narrowing his cold and charming eyes, "Kissing will also be quite comfortable."
