Chapter 784 Like this bowl of beef noodles (two in one chapter)
Yes, in just half an hour of communication, Wu Lan had already seen through He Jingming.
He knows how to deal with a woman so well!
Every movement is measured in advance and retreat, and does not make people feel reckless. The words are also very beautiful, and they can especially cater to women's thoughts.
But Wu Lan is not a woman who knows nothing. She works as an agent in the entertainment industry. What kind of scumbag have you not seen or heard of?
What's more, there is another most critical issue that He Jingming did not explain clearly.
In addition to the two ex-wives who have obtained certificates, how many girlfriends or lovers did He Jingming have?
Wu Lan wanted to ask this question several times, but before she could change the topic, He Jingming quickly found an excuse to divert the topic.
Although he behaved impeccably and always had a friendly and enthusiastic expression, Wu Lan was tired of it and did not want to continue practicing Tai Chi with him like this.
"Ms. Wu, do you have any other plans for lunch? I know a very good private restaurant. Their chefs are very good. They are well versed in Chinese and Western knowledge and they also like to develop new dishes. I heard that many new dishes have been released recently. Wu
Are you interested in trying it with me, miss?"
He Jingming raised his wrist, looked at the green watch, and asked Wu Lan with a smile.
This watch seems to be loved by ordinary wealthy people, right?
Because of its reputation, many wealthy people like to use it to show their status.
But in Wu Lan’s impression, really rich people would not wear this kind of watch, such as Dai Zhenhong, Yang Yan from Xiaoai Company, Lei Zhentian, the boss of Xiaopo Station...their watches
They don't look so ostentatious, but even if they don't see the value, their temperament sets them off and they still look expensive!
Then, Yang Qian can be considered a rich man, but he doesn't like to wear watches.
Even when it is necessary to wear a watch, Yang Qian will only wear the watch that his wife bought him as a birthday gift.
Therefore, He Jingming's action also made Wu Lan have the slightest doubt about his financial background.
Does the owner of a toy factory have a net worth of tens of millions, or a few million?
However, none of this seems to be important anymore.
"Mr. He, thank you for the invitation. I just have other things to do later, so let's stop talking about this today!"
Wu Lan didn't say what happened later, let alone whether they would contact her in the future, but her refusal was very obvious. She didn't believe that a love veteran like He Jingming couldn't hear it.
"Ms. Wu is worthy of being the leader of a large company in Shanghai. She talks as if she is discussing business."
He Jingming was still smiling. I don't know if he didn't understand, or if he was deliberately retreating in order to advance.
"It is a blessing to be Mr. He's business partner! Mr. He, I hope we can cooperate and keep in touch if we have the opportunity in the future."
Wu Lan stood up.
Keeping in touch means keeping distance.
Becoming a business partner is just an excuse!
No, after hearing this, the smile on He Jingming's face froze slightly. When he shook hands with Wu Lan later, he smiled very reluctantly.
"Okay, Miss Wu, let's keep in touch."
He Jingming left angrily, and when he turned around, he was still a little unwilling.
He Jingming's fancy for Wu Lan certainly had nothing to do with appearance. After all, a forty-year-old man, no matter how elegant he is, is not as good-looking as those little girls in their twenties.
The reason why He Jingming wanted to pursue Wu Lan was because he heard from his friends that Wu Lan was the general manager of an entertainment company and was very capable.
If he can catch Wu Lan, He Jingming can ask her to help him manage the toy factory and find ways, such as using her connections to find celebrities to help with advertising, to revitalize the toy factory that has been unable to make ends meet and is heavily in debt in the past few years.
Of course, the salary of a powerful woman like Wu Lan is definitely not low. He Jingming believes that she has saved a lot of money. With her money, the toy factory may be able to come back to life, and he can continue to remain a "rich man"
The last bit of decency.
He Jingming was full of confidence in pursuing Wu Lan at first.
Because he knew very well that a woman like Wu Lan, who was in her forties and had not yet been married, must be very anxious to get married. And He Jingming's thoughtfulness and gentleness, coupled with the good looks of an old handsome boy,
It should be easy to satisfy their fantasies about married life.
But he didn't expect that Wu Lan behaved calmly from beginning to end, and in the end she refused outright!
"H, you cold-blooded bitch! She deserves to be unable to get married!"
When He Jingming walked into the elevator, he faced the empty elevator door and angrily revealed his somewhat ferocious true face.
However, these are no longer relevant to Wu Lan.
"Give me another cup of coffee! I want a hazelnut latte, a small latte will be fine. Clear these..."
Wu Lan shook her head and cleared He Jingming out of her mind. At the same time, she waved to the waiter and asked her to help clear the things on the table.
She didn't plan to go back so early because there was no food for her at home.
Moreover, instead of going back and listening to my mother's nagging about how picky she is, it is better to sit here for a while and see how the interview with Zhang Shanshan and the others is going.
However, after sitting down, Wu Lan's eyes couldn't help but drift in the direction of Dong Wenlei.
He is also on a blind date.
Sitting opposite him was a girl who looked to be no more than thirty years old - she was young and had plenty of collagen on her face.
However, it seems that the conversation was not very good?
The current situation is quiet, Dong Wenlei is a little embarrassed, and the girls are rolling their eyes, as if they are racking their brains to find excuses to leave!
One minute......
Two minutes...
Before Wu Lan's coffee was delivered, the girl stood up and left on her own initiative.
It’s all as expected!
Dong Wenlei scratched his head and stood next to the table. He seemed to feel Wu Lan's gaze. When he turned around, he saw her eyes that seemed to be smiling.
"this......"
When Dong Wenlei came over with his shoulder bag, he threw the coffee cups on the table into the special trash can.
In fact, he came here because he wanted a contact information!
But he was not Cao Zhi, he could not compose a poem in five steps, and he had not thought about how to speak, so when he came over, he was embarrassed again.
"Did the blind date fail? Didn't you invite the girl to lunch?"
Wu Lan generously asked him to sit down opposite.
Her slightly teasing question relieved Dong Wenlei's embarrassment.
"How should I put it... I think she looks down on the profession of online writers. She feels that I can't stay at home all the time. She keeps trying to persuade me to go out and start a business, or take the civil service exam or something."
Dong Wenlei looked at her smile and felt that she was very kind, and his mood was relieved a lot.
"Take the civil service exam? At your current age, you shouldn't be able to take the civil service exam, right?"
Wu Lan thought about it in his mind.
"Yes, after I told her this, she started to be quiet. Maybe online writers still lack some social status. Writing at home can easily be mistaken for not doing their job properly."
Dong Wenlei smiled mockingly.
"It's not bad to go out for a walk properly, or do some business properly. It doesn't mean that you should give up your love for writing. It just means that by broadening your horizons and increasing your knowledge, your writing source will be richer."
With similar content, Dong Wenlei felt very comfortable listening to what Wu Lan said.
"Yes, it is true that I should walk more and see more. It's just that I still have a lot of updates every day. It's not very realistic to work part-time or do business, and I can't arrange my time."
Dong Wenlei explained sincerely.
"You don't need to be in such a hurry when writing a book. Take your time, work slowly and carefully, and only by gaining experience in life can you write better works. I think you should find a proper balance in this aspect, otherwise, when you get married, you will have
After having children, I will probably be even busier."
Wu Lan didn't think much about it. She felt that it was impossible for her and Dong Wenlei to be together because Dong Wenlei was still "young". He and his family should all hope that he could find a better one, with a forty-year-old aunt and him.
Not suitable.
However, this does not hinder their communication. Wu Lan just wants to give Dong Wenlei some substantive suggestions from the perspective of a friend.
Although Wu Lan herself has never been married or had children, her boss is an obvious example!
Since Yang Qian has a wife and is preparing to have children, his workload has obviously dropped significantly...
"The blind date didn't happen, so where did the child come from? By the way, where is the eldest brother you just went on a blind date with?"
Dong Wenlei asked pretending not to care.
But how could Wu Lan fail to see his little thoughts?
"That, that's not appropriate, I asked him to go back first."
Wu Lan didn't say much about He Jingming. It's not good to talk about others behind their backs.
"So, what are your plans for lunch? Go home for dinner, or simply deal with it outside?"
Dong Wenlei breathed a sigh of relief and seemed a little ready to make a move.
"I have no food to eat when I go home. My mother said that my blind date is responsible for my food today. Now that my blind date is gone, I can only eat some outside."
Wu Lan could tell that this younger brother had thoughts about his sister, but for some reason, she still didn't show an obvious rejection.
"Then...then we are in the same boat. How about I treat you to dinner? It's the Chinese New Year. It's lonely to eat alone."
Dong Wenlei hesitated and said the invitation.
No more going around!
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
Wu Lan smiled and nodded.
Indeed, it is a bit pitiful to eat alone during the Chinese New Year.
"What do you like to eat? Western food? Sushi? Or Chinese food, um, hot pot, or dinner? It depends on what you think, I can do it."
Dong Wenlei couldn't help but said with joy.
"Let's eat something plain. Is there any delicious noodles nearby? I eat too much chicken and duck during the Chinese New Year. It's a bit boring."
"Is it okay to eat beef noodles? I know there is a good beef noodle restaurant on Xingfu Road outside. I ate there a few days ago. The soup tastes very good and the noodles are chewy!"
"Okay, you lead the way!"
Wu Lan grabbed the bag and stood up.
If you can't go on a blind date, it would be nice to meet a new friend...
...
"Sister Lan, I haven't heard of you before, what kind of job do you do?"
After placing the order, Dong Wenlei took the sign and asked Wu Lan to sit down at an empty table.
This beef noodle restaurant is actually similar to many street restaurants. The shop is very small and there is no exquisite decoration.
In terms of environment, it is definitely not as good as any private restaurant, and it is much worse than Starbucks.
But Wu Lan didn't care, but Dong Wenlei realized that he had brought Wu Lan to such a simple and greasy noodle shop, so he was a little embarrassed and hurried around, and even used paper towels to help Wu Lan wipe the table.
He also wanted to help Wu Lan clean the chair, but Wu Lan sat down casually.
"I work in an entertainment agency."
On the way, Wu Lan found an opportunity to tell him her age.
Although they wanted to be friends, Dong Wenlei obviously had other ideas. After thinking about it calmly, she decided not to waste Dong Wenlei's time. After all, some gaps cannot be filled with love.
If you retreat from the difficulties, maybe you can still be a friend...
However, Dong Wenlei seems to have no intention of retreating.
After knowing that Wu Lan was four years older than him, he was silent for a few minutes on the road, and then he was still as enthusiastic as before, which made Wu Lan a little unpredictable.
What does he mean?
Do you want to be friends, or do you still want to pursue your sister?
"Entertainment agency? Is it the kind of agency in the entertainment industry?"
Dong Wenlei didn't expect that he could meet people in the entertainment industry, and he was suddenly excited.
"Yes."
"Then do you have many celebrities in your company?"
"That's right."
"for example......"
"For example, the video you heard me watching that day, the original singer of "Come Home Often", Mr. Yang Qianyang."
Under his questioning, Wu Lan still said Yang Qian's name.
"Teacher Yang Qianyang? Damn it! I'm sorry, I'm so excited. I've watched his live broadcast, and I also watched his program in this year's Spring Festival Gala! That "Gong Xi Fa Cai"!"
Dong Wenlei was indeed so excited that he almost jumped up from the bench.
Fortunately, the proprietress of the noodle shop brought them noodles and gave Dong Wenlei a chance to calm down his excitement.
“This noodle soup tastes great!”
Wu Lan tucked both sides of her hair behind her ears, picked up the spoon and tasted it. Soon, she gave a thumbs up.
"Yeah, I've eaten it once, and I want to come here a second time. And they serve a lot of meat here, which is all meat picked from the beef bones. It's very fragrant."
Dong Wenlei was also very happy when he saw Wu Lan's likes.
"Wen Lei, have you never been in love before?"
Wu Lan was actually a little curious about his behavior, because a thirty-seven-year-old man didn't have any experience in love, right?
But Dong Wenlei acted as if he had never been in love before, feeling awkward and anxious.
"It's not that we didn't. We had a relationship before when we were studying, but then she went to work, and the two of us drifted apart, so we broke up."
Dong Wenlei answered honestly.
"She goes to work? You are not in the same grade?"
"We are in the same grade, but she is in the five-year clinical medicine program and I am in the eight-year program."
“Are you a bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral student?”
Wu Lan still knows this, majoring in clinical medicine, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com The five-year program should be a bachelor's degree, but after eight years, you will be a Ph.D.!
"right."
Dong Wenlei scratched his head.
"You are a doctor of medicine. Why didn't you become a doctor? Why did you switch to writing novels?"
Wu Lan's eyes changed when she looked at Dong Wenlei.
Not questioning, but respecting!
Doctor of Medicine!
How rare!
"How should I put it? At first, I became a doctor for a few years. But maybe I have always been interested in online novels. I was also writing novels when I was studying. Later, a novel about doctors that I wrote suddenly suddenly
It became popular and gave me a lot of income. I wondered if I could quit my job and write novels full-time.
Because writing novels is what I really love, being a doctor is not. Writing can give me very powerful energy, and it can really make me feel the movement in my heart. When I write a good plot, I can get up and dance.
But doctors can’t. As a doctor, I can’t feel happy and feel a little depressed..."
Therefore, Dong Wenlei quit his enviable job as a doctor and resolutely devoted himself to the ocean of online novels.
"Before, I was too busy with work and had no time to fall in love. Later, I was too devoted to writing novels. Year after year, it has been delayed until now..."
Dong Wenlei smiled sheepishly at Wu Lan.
Although it is difficult to understand his choice to give up the medical profession after studying for eight years and working for several years and turn to writing novels, Wu Lan can see that when this big boy "boy" talks about writing novels, he really
There is light in the eyes.
Maybe it was like the beef noodles in front of them, which she and he could enjoy very well, but in the eyes of some high-ranking people, such a fly restaurant was dirty and poor, and simply unsightly, let alone come in to have a taste.
