Boiling water, washing the tea, smelling the aroma, brewing until the tea comes out, Shirley completed this whole set of steps with skillful techniques, and her movements were calm and leisurely, exuding a quiet and elegant temperament.
"Unnie, try the tea I made. My brother said that drinking tea is better for us artists than drinking coffee." Shirley poured the tea for her stunned best friend and stretched out her hand to signal her to try it.
Goo Hara picked up the teacup ignorantly and immediately the fragrance of tea hit her nostrils, with a hint of sweetness in her throat. Goo Hara fell in love with this tea immediately.
"Truth, what kind of tea is this? It's so delicious."
"Hehe...it's Shou Mei Lao White Tea. My brother gave me a cake. If you hadn't come today, Unnie, I wouldn't have been able to drink it." Shirley introduced it to Goo Hara with a chuckle.
Goo Hara is the co-vocalist and dancer of the girl group Kara. Privately, she has a very close relationship with Sulli and Lee Ji-eun, and was once affectionately called the "human trio" by fans.
It may be that the three of them have similar experiences, and their respective families were unhappy when they were young, so every time they are together, they have the greatest empathy with each other, so this is why Ha La likes to stay with Shirley the most.
Some time ago, Hara's group returned with the mini album "Day & Night". Her busy schedule meant that she hadn't played with Sulli for a long time. Unexpectedly, Sulli had undergone huge changes after not seeing her for many days. Hara saw it.
I felt very shocked.
"Brother? You mean Oppa Zhou Jing, is he good to you?" Ha La asked with concern, holding Shirley's hand.
Faced with the concern of her best friend, Shirley smiled, "That's good. I used to envy you for having Haoren Oppa, but now I also have a good brother. By the way, you guys don't know each other yet. I'll introduce you to you later."
.”
The Haoren oppa in Shirley's mouth is Haara's biological brother Gu Haoren. When she was young, her mother suddenly left and there was no news. Her father didn't care about Ha Ra and the other two siblings. It was Gu Haoren who single-handedly raised Haara.
But Ha La keenly felt that Shirley's feelings for Zhou Jing were not that simple. In addition to the brother-sister relationship, there seemed to be a deeper dependence on it. In terms of sensing Shirley's inner emotions, Ha La was probably more familiar with Shirley than Crystal.
, so she began to feel a little worried about Shirley.
"Truth, tell me the truth, are Zhou Jingoppa and you really just brother and sister?"
"Unnie, what do you want to say?" Shirley picked up the cup and calmly took a sip of tea before saying indifferently. This response once again made Ha La yell that she couldn't understand it. In fact, if Crystal was present, she would have understood it at a glance.
It can be seen that Shirley's slightly cunning response is exactly the same as Zhou Jing's.
"I mean, you and him don't have that kind of relationship, do they?" No matter what, as best friends, Goo Hara had to raise the questions in her heart even if it would annoy Sulli.
"Haha, Unnie, you are overthinking. Crystal and my brother are the most important people to me, and I will not let them get hurt." At this point, Shirley suddenly showed a narrow-minded smile, and in the end she still said it in front of her best friend.
I couldn't help showing my cute and romantic side,
"Onie, let me tell you, my brother and Crystal haven't..."
"Jinjia? No way, how can he bear it even if he and you are often under the same roof?" Ha La hugged Shirley and felt very unbelievable, "If I were him,"
"Ernie...talking nonsense again..." Shirley felt shy and turned around to get into a fight with Ha La.
"Truth, I'm starving. What should I eat for lunch? Order takeout or go out to eat?" Maybe it was because the fight with her best friend consumed too much of Ha La's energy. Once she stopped, she was immediately surrounded by hunger.
"Well..." Shirley tilted her head and thought for a moment after taking a breath, and suddenly she had an idea in her mind, "Ernie, let me take you to a place. The lunch there is delicious, I'm not going to lie to you.
"
"Oh, let's leave quickly, haha..."
.............................
Zhou Jing received a call from Shirley and rushed to the door of the company cafeteria. He saw her standing there with a beautiful girl, constantly greeting colleagues from the equipment department who were leaving the cafeteria.
Everyone in the DPS company knew that she was Zhou Jing's sister, not to mention that she had followed Zhou Jing to the restaurant for dinner several times, so no one was surprised at all by Shirley's appearance.
On the contrary, Goo Hara beside her seemed to be very curious about this place, especially when she found that someone had recognized her, but no one came to ask her for an autograph or a photo or anything. They just smiled at her and nodded.
It made Ha La feel a lot more relaxed.
"Truth, why are you here? This is..." Zhou Jing wondered why Shirley brought people to the company restaurant for dinner in broad daylight. In the past, she would only come here when she was alone and Zhou Jing had no time to cook.
"Your cafeteria is much better than our company's. Brother, I told you about this, Holaoni. Today I brought her here to open her eyes, so I won't put any burden on you."
She stuck out her little tongue and pulled Zhou Jing to act coquettishly.
Zhou Jing patted Shirley's head speechlessly, "What's the burden? I don't care how many meals you have. Then let's go in quickly. People are thinking that our restaurant has hired two big-name celebrities to endorse our restaurant. You two are standing here."
.”
After briefly saying hello to Goo Hara, Zhou Jing took the two beauties in to dine. The restaurant of DPS Company was not open to the public, so he could only use Zhou Jing's dining card to pay.
Zhou Jing had a simple meal at lunch. After ordering a few dishes, he threw the dining card to Shirley and asked them to order whatever they wanted. While he took the dinner plate and found an empty table to sit down and eat first.
The food in this restaurant is really not limited. Considering that many of the diners are Chinese, the chefs cook authentic Chinese food, which is definitely not comparable to those Chinese restaurants outside that fool South Koreans.
Coupled with the low price, many Korean colleagues in the company are eager to go to this restaurant for three meals a day.
At first, faced with the dazzling array of dishes, Goo Hara was a little embarrassed to start, but when she found out that Shirley was not merciful at all, she became rude. Even though the two of them ordered a lot of dishes, the final price was too high.
It was so low that Hala was surprised.
Zhou Jing almost fainted when he saw the mountains of food on the two girls' plates. He was not worried about the cost of the meal, but worried about their body management, especially if Shirley continued to eat like this.
It turned into a snowball.
Goo Hara and Zhou Jing were not familiar with each other, so after sitting down, they just ate quietly and occasionally whispered a few words to Sulli. However, Zhou Jing suddenly thought of the dinner in the evening and asked Sulli casually:
"Xiujing's relative invited me to dinner tonight, but she didn't say who it was. Do you know the truth?"
"Maura, she hasn't told me about it, could it be Shin Hye, Oni and the others?" Shirley shook her head blankly. Crystal has been busy recently and they haven't seen each other for a long time even if they live together.
"Probably not. I've seen Shin Hye-xi. You can't be so mysterious, right? Do you think it's a male relative?" Zhou Jing thought of a possibility, but when she saw his expression, Goo Hara almost got angry.
It turned out that what Shirley said was true. Brother Zhou Jing's reaction was very much like that of a young boy falling in love for the first time. She was shocked that no one cared about this man in the past and was finally picked up by Crystal.
"If Crystal's relative is really a man, would you be angry, brother?" Shirley asked Zhou Jing a question noncommittally.
"Um... I'm not angry at all, it's just out of curiosity, haha..." Zhou Jing scratched his head, but he didn't have any confidence in what he said.
Shirley smiled softly and did not continue the topic. She knew Zhou Jing as well as Crystal. Even though her brother usually looked so carefree, if he really got jealous, he would definitely be as jealous as Xiao Jing.
Crystal is worthy of a fight, hehe, who knows that both of them are Scorpios.
"Zhen Zhen, if nothing goes wrong tonight, you can take Ha Laxi and come with me for dinner." Zhou Jing felt that since they are relatives of Jing Shuang, Shirley and the others should have no problem in going.
"Arnie, I'm not going. It's rare for Horaoni to have a day off, so in the afternoon we went to play with Zhienoni." Shirley rejected Zhou Jing in a very rare way.
Zhou Jing didn't pay much attention to this. He was going to Pohang on a business trip tomorrow and had a meeting to attend in the afternoon, so he hurriedly picked up the rice on the plate and gave Shirley a few words before leaving in a hurry.
Seeing Zhou Jing's figure disappear from the door of the restaurant, Ha La looked at Shirley curiously, "Let's go find Ji-eun in the afternoon? Didn't she go to Jeju Island?"
"Of course I know, I'm just looking for an excuse." Shirley said calmly while eating.
"I don't understand why you are doing this? Crystal is obviously not an outsider, so there is no need." Ha La was quite puzzled by Shirley's actions.
"It's necessary." Shirley put down her tachyon expression and became serious, "My brother and Crystal are always together and apart when they are dating. If I get involved every time, over time, even if my brother doesn't mind Crystal, he will feel uncomfortable.
of."
"My brother is right to dote on me, but I can't know how to advance or retreat."
"Truth, do you really think so?" Goo Hara felt that the Sulli in front of her was a bit strange. She had never seen her show such a mature side in her memory.
"Hey, Ernie, sometimes you only know what to cherish after you have experienced it."
Zhou Jing did not hear the conversation between Shirley and Ha La. If he had known about it, he might have felt more pity for this well-behaved and sensible sister.
After get off work, Zhou Jing hurried to a private club in Sinsa-dong according to the address sent by Crystal, but he never expected that he would be the first to arrive.
After the phone call, he learned that Crystal and the others were rushing here from the set, so he sat down and read the news on his mobile phone in a hurry while waiting for Crystal's arrival. However, the peaceful scene was broken not long after.
A tall, beautiful woman about 27 or 8 years old wearing a professional suit opened the door of the private room and walked in. Zhou Jing originally planned to stand up and say hello, but when he saw the person clearly, his eyes instantly became cold.
"Director Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you. We meet again." The beauty extended her jade hand to Zhou Jing enthusiastically, but Zhou Jing looked at her coldly with his arms folded, as if he had no intention of shaking hands with her, which made her feel
It's a little embarrassing.
"Minister Wu, are you in the wrong place? I don't remember having an appointment with you people from Shengya today." Zhou Jing vaguely felt that there was something fishy about today's meal, and maybe Xiao Jingshu had been tricked by someone.
This beauty is called Wu Minzhi, whom he has met before. She is the marketing director of Gwangju Shengya Oil Press. Of course, she also has an identity. She is the biological daughter of Representative Wu. He mentioned this when he went to Gwangju last time.
knew.
"Haha, Director Zhou is overthinking. I'm not here to meet you today as Sheng Ya, I'm really your fan." Wu Minzhi smiled brightly and actually gave such a set of words.
Fans? Who believes this kind of nonsense? Anger was slowly rising in Zhou Jing's heart at this time, but he did not choose to throw away directly, because it was obviously impossible for Minister Wu to get on the crystal line. He thought
