The meeting place was a branch of a well-known domestic steamed bun shop in Guangzhou. When we arrived, the hero and heroine had not yet appeared.
Last night, I worked hard until midnight and went to bed without eating any supper. By now, I was already singing about the empty city plan in my stomach, so I decided to eat first before the hero and heroine appeared.
Lin Jieran and I both ordered breakfast for two, and it turned out that four steamed buns, two fried dough sticks, and two bowls of soy milk cost fifty-six yuan, a total of one hundred and twelve yuan for two people.
This breakfast alone is equivalent to three days of meals for us migrant workers, but eating with Lin Jeran doesn't cost me any money, so I don't feel sad.
To be honest, I really can’t tell the difference between the buns here and the 50-cent buns on the street. But people nowadays seem to like expensive things. Even though it’s past the peak breakfast period, the bun shop is still full of customers.
.
Before we had even finished a single bun, the male and female protagonists appeared one after another. We had already met the heroine before, so there was nothing to introduce.
I paid close attention to today's male protagonist. He is a young man in his mid-twenties. He looks very polite. He wears rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose. He is dressed like a company clerk and looks a little handsome.
.
"Director Lin." The young man called out respectfully when he saw Lin Jingran. When he saw Zhou Bing on the other side, his expression suddenly became unnatural.
This is the first time I know that Lin Jingran had some experience in the family business before running away, and he was also a director. As for the specific directorship, I don't know.
"Sit down, have you eaten?" Lin Jingran said vaguely, pointing to the stool next to him with a big mouthful of buns in his mouth.
"I've eaten." The young man replied, but his stomach gave him away by letting out two "Gurgling!" sounds at the right time.
Lin Jeran threw his wallet to me and said, "Go and get them some food."
I bought them the same amount of steamed buns, soy milk and fried dough sticks as we did. When I took the things back, I thought viciously: After a while, most of these things will probably end up in Zhou Bing's stomach.
When I returned to my seat, they had obviously completed the introduction process. Liang Xiaojun, that young man, was sitting on the stool with his head lowered, looking uneasy. It was obvious that he was interested in the blind date arranged by the old leader today.
She was not very satisfied, but because she was afraid that Lin Jieran would be unhappy, she just had to deal with it. Zhou Bing looked at Liang Xiaojun with a slightly happy look, and seemed to be quite satisfied with the person Lin Jieran arranged for her today.
I put down my things, sat down next to Lin Juran again, picked up a fried dough stick, took a bite, and asked casually: "What does Brother Liang do?"
"Don't dare, just call me Xiaoliang. I do graphic design at Haoran Advertising, the same advertising company where Director Lin used to be the director." Liang Xiaojun replied respectfully. He obviously knew that I couldn't be Zhou Bing's escort.
But obviously he also misunderstood something.
I praised: "Graphic design is not bad. Only smart people can do jobs that rely on their brains."
"Brother was so complimentary. In fact, I didn't do very well. If it weren't for the director's care, I might not have been able to stay. I don't know what kind of job I was doing."
"I used to move bricks at a construction site, but now I'm unemployed and fool around in games every day."
Liang Xiaojun laughed and said, "Brother is really good at joking."
I looked at Lin Jingran: "Has society developed to the point where no one will believe you the more you tell the truth?"
"Also, don't always call me big brother or big brother. I'm younger than you, so you can just call me by my name, Chen Hui."
Lin Jingran saw that Liang Xiaojun and I were chatting enthusiastically, and secretly kicked me under the table, which meant that I would shut up. He smiled and said to Liang Xiaojun: "Xiaojun, please ignore him, he is not doing anything right all day long, you and
Zhou Bing is very close to me."
Then Lin Jingran gave Zhou Bing a look.
Zhou Bing picked up a bun and handed it to Liang Xiaojun’s mouth and said, “You eat it.”
Liang Xiaojun obediently picked up the bun and ate it.
After finishing one bun, Zhou Bing handed him another fried dough stick. Liang Xiaojun still obediently took the fried dough stick and stuffed it into his mouth.
I immediately buried my face in the bowl of soy milk.
…
Halfway through the meal, Lin Jingran said directly to Liang Xiaojun: "Xiaojun, come out with me for a moment. I have something to ask you."
I pointed at Liang Xiaojun’s back and asked Zhou Bing: “Do you like this one?”
Zhou Bing slowly sucked the soy milk, "I like it, why don't I like it."
I asked doubtfully: "Are you sure? This guy is not the same as Peerless Tianfeng at all."
Zhou Bing gritted his teeth and said, "Don't mention that bastard in front of me in the future. After this incident, I no longer trust handsome, eloquent boys."
"So what do you like about that boy?"
"People are easy to bully if they are honest."
I was speechless and continued to drink soy milk with my head down.
After a pause, Zhou Bing suddenly asked me: "Chen Hui, do you know why Lonely likes you?"
I said: "There's no way she likes me at all. It's true that she likes to bully me."
Zhou Bing smiled and said: "You are right, the reason why Lonely likes you is because you are easy to bully."
I was dissatisfied and said, "Can you please stop being such a gossip? This lady is worth billions, and I am a brick mover on a construction site. How could she like me?"
Zhou Bing said seriously: "True love never pays attention to money or status. As long as the two hearts are happy, everything else is not a problem. In fact, you know it in your heart, but you just don't dare to think about it, right?"
I said in my heart: "I dare to think, I dare to think, I even dream of sleeping on the same bed with her."
But the problem is that apart from liking to bully me, I really can't see how Lin Jingran likes me at all. The gap between us is so big in reality, this is simply impossible. Diaosi counterattacks only appear in novels.
Reality is impossible.
"Have you read too many male urban novels?" I said.
Zhou Bing no longer pays attention to me.
…
After a while, Lin Jingran and Liang Xiaojun came back.
I can see that after being asked by Lin Jieran to talk alone, Liang Xiaojun's attitude towards Zhou Bing became more positive and he began to actively communicate with Zhou Bing. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these are not from his heart.
The four people quickly cleared everything on the table. Lin Jingran and I each ate our own food, but the result of Zhou Bing's group was exactly the opposite of what I expected. Five buns and three fried dough sticks all went into Liang Xiaojun's stomach.
, in addition to three bowls of soy milk. Of course, some things were forced into it by Zhou Bing.
When Liang Xiaojun followed Zhou Bing away, I noticed that his hands were always holding his stomach.
I was immediately disappointed with Liang Xiaojun.
On the way back, I asked Lin Jingran curiously: "What did you say to Liang Xiaojun just now?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I just encourage him to work hard and promote him to be the graphic supervisor when I go back."
Me: "Damn it, I can't believe that this kid is so shameless. Just a job as a graphic supervisor can make him willing to sell his happiness for the rest of his life."
"Actually, that's not entirely the case. I also warned her that if she dared to make Zhou Bing unhappy, I would fire him."
"He was threatened by you so easily? This kid is really worthless. Isn't he a man?"
Lin Jerran said: "Actually, you don't understand the situation. Liang Xiaojun is not in good health and spends a lot of money on medical expenses every month. Haoran's salary is 30% to 50% higher than that of the same industry, so he is now
This job is much needed.”
I said angrily: "Then this is your fault. As a former leader, how can you just take advantage of someone's weakness and force him to accept something you don't want to accept?"
Lin Jingran looked at me and said seriously: "You idiot, you misunderstood me. In fact, you don't understand Zhou Bing. She is a very kind person. It is actually his blessing that Liang Xiaojun found her. You will all understand me in the future."
I said: "Why are you so confident?"
"Because I won't be like some people who jump to conclusions about anything without investigating."
"It's still my fault after all."
"Nonsense, it was your fault in the first place."
…
Back at her residence, Lin Jingran was still in high spirits, humming a tune wherever she went. She seemed to think that she had just done something of great merit.
I couldn't help but hit her and said: "I bet Zhou Bing and Liang Xiaojun won't be together for long. When he finds a job again that can afford his mother's medical expenses, he will show his cards to you right away."
Lin Jingran said confidently: "Okay, I'll make this bet with you. What's the bet?"
"If I win, I demand the right to sleep on the bed."
Lin Jingran nodded: "That's no problem."
I jumped three feet high: "Really?"
She said disapprovingly: "You won't win anyway."
I vowed: "I will definitely win, because I know a man's mind very well."
Lin Jingran said: "Okay, what if you lose?"
"Then I'll be punished by cleaning the toilet for a month."
"No, it's your job to clean the toilet. Change it to another one."
I was speechless: "How come cleaning the toilet has become my job alone?"
"Nonsense, you live here with me and I don't charge you rent. Shouldn't you take the initiative to take on some other responsibilities?"
I said: "I can take on the responsibility of taking good care of you."
"Thank you. I don't need you to take care of me. You just need to take care of the toilet." Lin Jeran said and turned around to go back to the room. His meaning was very clear. There was no need to discuss this matter at all.
I pointed to my nose and asked myself: "Am I so easy to bully?"
ps: I finally finished writing this chapter, and I basically wrote what I wanted to express in my heart. I wonder if you are satisfied after reading it?
