This is a very luxuriously decorated coffee shop located in the prosperous area of the city center of Hangzhong City. The nearly 1,000-square-meter hall is decorated to look like a primeval forest, with numerous large and small booths and boxes scattered in an orderly manner;
At the entrance of the hall, a young woman with slender figure and fair skin wearing a low-cut evening dress was playing the grand piano with abandon. The melodious sound of the piano permeated every corner of the hall; under the dim light,
, the guests were cozily whispering to the friends sitting next to them, and from time to time there was one or two hearty laughter...
As soon as he entered the cafe, Niu Xiaobai, who was wearing only a short-sleeved T-shirt, suddenly felt as if he had entered an ice cellar: the powerful central air conditioner blew cold wind outside, turning the indoors and outdoors into two completely different places.
A different world. It was so cold that Niu Xiaobai had goosebumps all over his body. It took him several minutes to adapt to the indoor temperature. At this time, Niu Xiaobai suddenly understood why Zhu Lingling was in such a hot weather.
He also wore a small suit jacket.
As soon as Niu Xiaobai and Zhu Lingling sat down in a relatively quiet corner, a waitress dressed like a village girl with light makeup came up to her with two glasses of mineral water. After saying "good evening",
He pulled out two menus from the side of the table and handed them to them.
Zhu Lingling didn't take the menu and said directly to the waitress: "Bring me a salad platter, a filet mignon, medium rare, and a strawberry ice cream." Apparently, she is a regular customer here.
The waitress responded politely, and while writing the order, she turned her attention to Niu Xiaobai.
With the faint candlelight on the table, Niu Xiaobai looked at the various pictures on the menu, and was a little overwhelmed. Looking at the expensive prices on the menu, Niu Xiaobai secretly cried out in his heart: "Oh my God! This is here.
How come your things are so expensive? It’s really hard to save money when it’s time to use it... This is the first time we met. No matter how bad I am, I don’t necessarily have to let other girls pay for it, right? Alas! It seems that I only have the money in my wallet.
Those few red banknotes are no longer guaranteed... A penny kills a heroic man! I wonder when the salary will be paid?"
Niu Xiaobai flipped through the menu again and again. In the end, he helplessly pointed to a set meal on the menu that was relatively cheap and seemed to have a large portion, and said to the waiter: "Can you order this for me?"
To be honest, Niu Xiaobai was really a little hungry at this time.
Zhu Lingling saw Niu Xiaobai's embarrassed look, but she squinted her mouth and suppressed her smile.
While waiting for the food to be served, Niu Xiaobai took a serious look at Zhu Lingling sitting opposite him: she had smooth black hair that hung naturally on her shoulders; a pair of round pink eyes, a small nose, and
She has an oval face; her dignified and delicate facial features, with a fox-like soft expression. After taking off her coat, her white shirt covered the snow-white skin above her neck, and the two vague piles of
The huge "twin peaks" were perfectly displayed in front of Niu Xiaobai, giving him a thrilling feeling.
Facing Niu Xiaobai's eyes that looked at her, Zhu Lingling did not avoid her eyes. Instead, she smiled lightly and generously handed Niu Xiaobai a well-made business card. The title on it read: Hangzhong
City Defa Trading Co., Ltd., sales director.
this
At this moment, Niu Xiaobai suddenly realized: It turns out that Zhu Lingling is a salesperson of a trading company! He probably took him out for dinner this time to promote their company's products.
Then, like a magic trick, Zhu Lingling took out a bottle of red wine with foreign language on the label and a simple corkscrew from the luggage bag she carried. She shook the red wine in her hand and said in a slightly naughty tone: "Niu
Manager, why don't we drink some wine? Haha... This place has a nice environment, but it doesn't provide alcohol, so I sneak in wine every time... As long as you don't say anything and bring wine in private, the waiters here are average
No one will have any objection..."
"Haha, Miss Zhu, it seems that you are a regular customer here." Niu Xiaobai smiled.
Zhu Lingling smiled and waved her hands, and said boldly: "Haha, it's okay! The boss here is a friend of mine - although I'm not very familiar with him... Oh, Manager Niu, don't call me Miss Zhu anymore.
Right? It feels weird. As you know, being a 'young lady' has changed from a noble status to a profession... Everyone calls me Little Lingdang. By the way, I call you Manager Niu. Doesn't it seem a bit unfamiliar to you?
What do you think I should call you?"
All of a sudden, Niu Xiaobai was infected by Zhu Lingling's "unfamiliar" forthright temperament, and the strange feeling disappeared a lot. He felt that it was inappropriate to act like a "stranger" in front of Zhu Lingling.
Looking a little tired: "Okay, Xiaolingdang, this name is quite nice. My friends all call me Xiaobai, you can also call me like this."
Looking at Zhu Lingling in front of him, Niu Xiaobai unconsciously compared her with Dong Xiaoya: both were salesmen, and both were girls with outgoing personalities and lively and distinctive styles. However, due to lack of social experience,
Dong Xiaoya is like a green apple; Zhu Lingling is more like a ripe red apple. Between Zhu Lingling's sexy and charming smiles, it is especially easy to stir up the heartstrings of men. This kind of temptation
Power is simply a fatal "poison" to them.
"I wonder if Xiaoya will become what Zhu Lingling is now after many years?" Thinking of this, Niu Xiaobai shook his head unconsciously, not daring to think further.
While Zhu Lingling skillfully opened the bottle of red wine, she asked strangely: "Xiao Bai, why are you shaking your head? Is this place not to your liking?"
"Oh? No! I just thought about things at work... I have just arrived at Fuma Company not long ago, and I have a lot of things to worry about at work, haha..." Niu Xiaobai explained quickly.
"Oh! Xiaobai, you are so dedicated! You have reached this point, and you are still thinking about work? Let me tell you, this work will never be finished. You might as well relax and enjoy this red wine with your heart.
And delicious food?" As she spoke, Zhu Lingling poured half a glass of red wine into each of the two goblets, handed a glass to Niu Xiaobai, picked up a glass and shook the glass gracefully: "This bottle of red wine is mine.
A friend brought it back from France. I heard it tastes good. Xiaobai, would you like to try it?"
Niu Xiaobai picked up the wine glass and said mockingly: "Haha... Actually, I don't have much research on red wine. In my eyes, a bottle of red wine that costs 10 yuan and a bottle of 1,000 yuan are nothing.
the difference."
Zhu Lingling and Niu Xiaobai gently clinked their cups: "Haha! Xiaobai, you are really
I know how to joke... Cheers to our first acquaintance!" After saying that, Zhu Lingling took a deep drink and drank half the glass of red wine in one gulp. All of a sudden, her pretty face was glowing with a seductive red glow, and there was a faint hint of red wine.
Under the illumination of the light, it looks even more charming.
Seeing Zhu Lingling finishing the wine so readily, Niu Xiaobai didn't dare to hesitate. He picked up the cup and put the red wine into his mouth. When the red wine entered his mouth, Niu Xiaobai felt not only tannins, but also the tannins.
There is also a little sourness. This sourness is a balance that exists in red wine. Even in sweet wines, this acidity must be balanced to make the wine taste better; of course, in fruity wines,
, this acidity may also be weakened by sensory perception. These subtle differences in acidity and tannin balance make the difference between a bottle costing 10 yuan or a bottle costing 1,000 yuan.
"Good wine!" Niu Xiaobai couldn't help but praise after feeling the sweetness of the red wine.
"Xiao Bai, you said you don't understand red wine? Are you exposed now? Haha!" Zhu Lingling said with a smile as she continued to pour wine into two goblets.
Niu Xiaobai explained calmly: "Oh, no. I followed the saying, 'Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods.' Good things are different, even for me, an inexperienced person.
I feel good." This is indeed a fact, and it is not Niu Xiaobai's pretense of modesty. Although the Niu family's family situation is not bad, Niu's father is relatively frugal in life. He rarely goes home unless it is on major occasions such as New Years or holidays.
Buy high-end wine and drink.
Zhu Lingling pursed her lips and took a sip of red wine, then raised her charming face and said softly: "Xiao Bai, if you like it, you can always come to me for a drink in the future... I still have several boxes of red wine of this quality at home."
Niu Xiaobai held the wine glass in his hand and looked at Zhu Lingling. He was stunned for a moment. Zhu Lingling's beauty made him feel a little unable to help himself. This was very different from the feeling Chen Wanshi gave him. Zhu Lingling exuded maturity, gentleness, and charming charm.
Charm makes Niu Xiaobai feel that it is within reach and easy to approach; but Chen Wanshi is as cold and glamorous as a mountain vista, unattainable and full of a sense of distance.
Looking at Niu Xiaobai who was stunned, Zhu Lingling smiled proudly: "Xiaobai, let me tell you something interesting. I was charging my mobile phone on Alipay two days ago, and unexpectedly I dialed the wrong number.
, and ended up charging someone else 100 yuan. Guess, did I get the money back?"
"I think it's basically impossible for you to come back, and there's no point in calling customer service. If you bother that person, others will just block you..."
"That's what I thought at the time... I thought I wouldn't get the money back, so I sent a text message to that person: 'You're welcome! You have to be willful when you have money!'. In less than half a minute, a text message on my phone alerted someone.
I recharged my mobile phone with 300 yuan, and another text message came: 'Why are you pretending? It's like others are not willful, who are you pretending to!' Haha..."
"Is this okay? I'll try it next time! By the way... Xiaolingdang, didn't you say you have something to do with me? What exactly is it?" After talking to this point, Niu Xiaobai felt that we should talk about business.
Zhu Lingling smiled mysteriously, revealing a row of neat white teeth, as bright as crescent moons: "What do you think?"
