Coffee shops are a good place for dating and talking about things. The atmospheric layout makes it easier for people to relax. Although teahouses have the same effect, there are always many times more cafes in the city than the rare teahouses.
Huo Meiling carefully looked at the man who invited her to this cafe for coffee. He didn't have a handsome face with a sickly white face. He had sharp angles that girls liked. The most impressive thing about him at first was the look in his eyes.
Indifference, those slightly turbid depths are superimposed with a sense of vicissitudes of life experience. Even though it can be seen from the appearance that he and she are of the same age, Huo Meiling does not have the courage to talk and laugh with those young men.
Stirring the coffee spoon, Huo Meiling looked through the glass window at Santana parked outside the cafe and the ordinary-looking man sitting in the classroom seat smoking a cigarette. Huo Meiling would not look down on this man just because his car was so dirty.
person, because she thinks she is not qualified to look down on others
"Huo Mei...Miss Huo, I don't know what you think?"
It’s not that it’s rude to call him by his first name, but he thinks it’s more appropriate for two strangers who have just met to address each other politely. Qian Mo didn’t like the cup of coffee that had too much sugar in it. He stirred it twice with a spoon and didn’t drink it.
Snapped his fingers backward
"Waiter, a glass of boiled water"
"I don't like sweet coffee either, please give me a glass of orange juice instead"
Seeing the waiter coming forward, Huo Meiling rolled up her hair, one of the favorite moves for girls, showing off her softness.
“I don’t like the feeling of coffee. Do you mind if I change it to another drink?”
Qian Mo didn't move. He watched the waiter nod and write down the drinks requested by his table before leaving. Thinking about it, he found it interesting that the two of them were sitting in this decent coffee shop, ordering and selling for a few bucks on the street.
Money for drinks, it turns out that I am still a rough person, and I don’t know how to enjoy elegance.
Huo Meiling saw that the man sitting across from him didn't speak. She thought he was waiting for her to answer the question she just asked. She couldn't figure out the other person's purpose. There was no desire to possess her body like those young men in her eyes, but why would she treat him like this?
Your information is so clear? For example, your name and mobile phone number
"I was looking at the Santana car parked outside, wondering why you would drive this car to invite someone out for dinner, and why your good friend didn't come in to sit with you. It's hot outside."
Huo Meiling is very observant of the outside world. Judging from the way the man talked with the man in the driver's seat after getting off the car, it was not a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but a conversation between friends.
A cup of boiled water is not a cup of mineral water. Qian Mo took the cup that the cafe waiter brought over and poured half of it into his mouth. He raised his eyebrows slightly. Is it still boiled water that is a little sweet? Which kind of pot bottom is missing from it?
Houchun
"I personally like to be different. He doesn't like foreign products like coffee shops. For example, I don't like coffee very much, so I didn't drink coffee." Qian Mo handed the water cup back to the waiter again and said, "The boiled water I need is not mineral water."
"
It’s not that Qian Mo turns his nose up at the preservatives mixed with mineral water, but that he has a soft spot for something once he gets used to its taste. From the first cup of boiled water he had just after returning to China to the recent flight to Yicheng
The boiled water on the table is not sweet mineral water.
The waiter was stunned. There were customers in the hall who were picky about the color and taste of the coffee, but no customer would mind the difference between boiled water and mineral water. He looked at the young man seriously to make sure that the other man was not teasing him to win over his seatmate.
The beauty smiled and bowed slightly like a gentleman: "I'm sorry, sir, this was my mistake."
Together, they are full of harmony, but they are not harmonious either.
"Are you mocking me?" Huo Meiling's ability to peel off cocoons comes from her careful thinking and experience: "Not everyone can insist on what they like! I don't like coffee shops, and I don't like this sweet scene.
It’s something, but I still came in, and I still forced myself to smile and drink it!”
The insistence in this man's mouth was a complete mockery of herself. Although Huo Meiling's tone was calm, the constant ups and downs of her eyes betrayed her. She could not remain indifferent to the ruthless ridicule faced by others like those battle-hardened women.
"Although I don't know what you do, at least you can drive a car to spend money in such a luxurious cafe." Huo Meiling would be resigned to her employer, because the employer would give her money, but in front of this person
People are not who they are, so why should they be ridiculed by him? Huo Meiling was like a kitten whose tail was stepped on: "Say, why did you call me out? If nothing happens, I will leave first."
Qian Mo endured Huo Meiling's excitement. He didn't care. He pushed the orange juice that the waiter had placed in the middle. After pushing it to Huo Meiling, he took the two books she placed on the table.
"Let's have something to drink first and then we'll talk." He opened the book casually. It was full of harsh and bitter economic professional terms, which Qian Mo couldn't understand: "Do you like reading these books?"
"It's just a boring pastime, give it back"
Ignoring the orange juice that was pushed in front of her, she looked directly at Qian Mo. Huo Meiling didn't like the behavior of looking through her things without her consent. As a result, her favorable impression of this man plummeted.
Perhaps it can be said that I didn't like it at the beginning, but now it has turned into disgust.
Qian Mo had no history of teasing girls, and he would not break the precedent now. He closed the book and stacked the two books on top of each other regardless of whether they were there or not.
"I will be attending a party soon and need a female companion."
The corners of her mouth raised, and she smiled for the first time when facing Huo Meiling. Even if it was faintly visible, it was still dazzling on the table under the sunlight. Qianmo faced Huo Meiling's eyes that did not dodge or twinkle, thinking about such a woman.
How did she get through this road? Judging from her behavior just now, you can tell whether she is a strong woman or the rules of life have made her completely abandon her persistence at certain moments and bear everything like a sheep.
"Remuneration, time, place, and your requirements"
The four words in Huo Meiling's mouth sounded familiar to Qian Mo. After reacting, he remembered that he had said similar words when he accepted the task. The difference was that Huo Meiling had something different when he asked.
She is timid, while Qian Mo is calm as usual. She needs money and does not want to give up every opportunity. He can choose every path he wants to take.
Qian Mo did not answer immediately, but took out a bank card from his trouser pocket, put it on the book and pushed it back to Huo Meiling. Qian Mo felt that Huo Meiling was valuable and qualified to take it.
"This is 400,000. The password is the year and month of your birthday. I think it should be enough to pay for my aunt's rehabilitation surgery and follow-up treatment." Qian Mo is not a person who sympathizes with everyone, nor is he willing to invest his money.
In return, he spent 400,000 on Huo Meiling because she could help him get more profits, although this was indirect
Huo Meiling looked at the bank card with wide eyes. Four hundred thousand! For her from a poor family, it was definitely a huge amount of money that was difficult to raise, although the 'business' she received more than ten days later was worth twenty thousand.
, but at that time, payment afterward was even rarer and more generous. This time, it was 400,000! This is Huo Meiling's goal, because she consulted the doctor, if her mother can undergo regular surgery within two years
With related treatment, there is a high chance that you will walk out of the hospital bed, and the cost will be around 400,000!
Huo Meiling gritted her teeth at the absolutely tempting reward. This amount of money... was enough for her to do anything!
She closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate, and when she opened them again, a girl's beautiful smile appeared on her face, which was so bright that it even dazzled Qian Mo.
"Are you going to support me?"
Being able to spend such a large amount of money for herself, Huo Meiling felt that there was no other reason except to buy herself. It was so harsh to support her once, but she chose to accept it because this 400,000 yuan would give her mother a chance to get out of the hospital bed.
Qian Mo was stunned when Huo Meiling said this. Although the other party was beautiful, it had nothing to do with the 400,000 he gave to support him? Qian Mo had never thought about it. Knowing one or two girls is enough, how many more
Yes, I will be tired
"Twelve days later in the dark night club, I need a female companion, that's all." The other party's smiling face could not hide the disgust towards him in his eyes. Qian Mo could see it clearly, and it reminded him of those he had met in the Middle East.
Regarding the incident of buying a wife, money can only buy people but not hearts: "You don't need to have any psychological burden. After this incident, you are still you and I will never appear in front of you again."
After this incident, Qian Mo will leave this strange city. Although Kyoto has no relevant statement regarding his laissez-faire departure from the port city this time, Qian Mo still has a lot to do, and Yicheng does not have enough time to stop.
will be too long
Huo Meiling's beautiful smile did not fade away. Only the surprise in her eyes was replaced by a lot of disgust. She silently thought about the time and place the man told her. The dark night club twelve days later? Isn't this a bid of 20,000 yuan?
Did Mr. Qiu, who attended the meeting, give the time and place?
"I was that day..." Huo Meiling hesitated. It was not because she insisted on integrity, but because she heard from the 'sisters in the circle' that the young master of the Qiu family who invited her was one of the few people in Yicheng who could not be offended.
One, if you break the contract...
"You were not Qiu Yu's female companion that day, but mine!" Qian Mo interrupted her and continued: "I will come to pick you up that night and dress up nicely. I hope you will be the whole audience by then.
Focus, if you need to buy clothes...you can call me."
Is the other party jealous to compete with the young master of the Qiu family? But if she offends the young master of the Qiu family, Huo Meiling feels that it is impossible for her to gain a foothold in Yicheng. She looked at the bank card stained with books and showed a decisive look.
If this money is returned to his hometown, the other party will not go all the way to find an unrelated me!
"What's your name? I won't let you know what to call you by the party."
"Qianmo"
Qian Mo secretly nodded in appreciation of Huo Meiling's determination. He did not miss the glitz of the city and abandoned many things, but the most precious ones still remained.
