After listening to Gong Ying'er's words, Li Jiayi seemed to understand something, but she was a little unclear. In short, she felt that there were too many emotions hidden in her boss's words that she could not understand.
Be wary of danger in times of peace? What should she worry about? She really couldn't imagine that she already had such a high social status, and as long as she didn't do anything illegal, what should she be afraid of?
While Li Jiayi was distracted, Gong Ying'er quickly pressed a message on her phone and sent it. By the time Li Jiayi found out, it was already too late.
"Ah, Mr. Gong, you..."
Li Jiayi took her phone back in a panic, only to see that the message had been sent. When she looked at the content of the message, she really wanted to cry.
The person who received the message was naturally Xue Chen, and her cheeks turned red when she saw the content of the message, and she was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Are you in the capital? Let's have dinner together. I really want to see you, okay?"
After seeing the last three words, Li Jiayi felt that her brain was lacking oxygen and she felt a little dizzy.
"Mr. Gong, how can this be done?"
Is this still the powerful CEO of the company as usual? She wonders if someone is wearing a human skin mask and imitating him. Otherwise, how could he send out such a petty and disgusting message?
Seeing Li Jiayi's reaction, Gong Ying'er smiled charmingly, her eyes moved, and she reached out and tapped Li Jiayi's smooth face: "Looking at your shy look, you are so charming. Women will be moved by it."
Li Jiayi's face turned redder and she lowered her head slightly.
"Has he replied to the message?" Gong Ying'er asked.
"Mr. Gong, I... I'll go back first." Li Jiayi couldn't bear Gong Ying'er's teasing anymore. She was really going to faint. She got up and hurried out, but accidentally bumped into the door.
He opened the door and ran away in a hurry.
At the same time, Xue Chen had returned to Jingjia No. 6 and had just washed up. When he heard a message beep on his phone, he picked it up and took a look. When he saw the message sent by Li Jiayi, he was stunned for a moment.
He still remembered the last message he sent, and felt that something was obviously wrong. He was definitely not sent by Li Jiayi himself. It is impossible for a person's personality to undergo such a big change suddenly. There must be other reasons.
So he thought about it and decided to meet with Li Jiayi to clarify the matter, so he replied with a message, telling Li Jiayi that she was already in Beijing, and then gave the address of a restaurant and the time of the meeting, which was exactly the same time.
A Brazilian BBQ restaurant that I ate at once.
When the message had just been sent, Li Jiayi, who was sitting in the taxi and holding her cell phone tightly in her hand, was startled by the beeping sound on the phone. When she saw that it was Xue Chen who had replied to the message, her cheeks were once again uncontrollable.
Her face turned red and she forgot to breathe. When she saw that the reply was the address of a restaurant and the time of meeting, she felt her head was dizzy again.
She hesitated again and again, tried hard to type "OK", and replied.
Xue Chen arrived at the restaurant in advance and chose a seat, and Li Jiayi appeared in front of her on time. Seeing her hesitant and shy look as she stood in front of him, he pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down."
After Li Jiayi sat down, she explained almost impatiently: "Xue Chen, listen to me, these two messages were not sent by me."
"Who is that?" Xue Chen thought and thought of a enchanting face, "Is it Gong Ying'er?"
"Well, it was Mr. Gong who took my mobile phone and sent it." Li Jiayi glanced at Xue Chen secretly. Because of these two messages, she felt that something was completely wrong when she met Xue Chen. It used to be quite natural.
Friends, but now...
Xue Chen nodded: "It's really her." Now that he knew who sent it, he didn't say anything more. He called the waiter. He first ordered his favorite food, and then said to Li Jiayi, "You like it?"
You order what you want to eat”
Li Jiayi had no appetite and was on a diet to stay in shape, so she casually ordered two low-energy side dishes.
"Don't you ask why she did this?" Seeing that Xue Chen had no intention of asking any more questions, Li Jiayi couldn't help but speak, but after she finished speaking, she felt that she shouldn't ask, lest it seemed like she was deliberately provocative.
This remark implies something.
"Are you kidding?" Xue Chen chuckled carelessly.
Gong Ying'er was so straightforward that he could use his toes to know what she meant. What's more, the two of them had sat together and chatted before.
This time Li Jiayi didn't say anything. She knew that Gong Ying'er's purpose was of course not just a joke, but also had other intentions. He wanted to get her involved more deeply with the man in front of her. However, how did she say such a thing?
What about exports?
It sounded like he was taking advantage of her, but she was not angry because Gong Ying'er had already told her that signing her was not because of her acting skills or potential, but because she was friends with Xue Chen.
So, what is there for her to be angry about? The most important thing is that she is also grateful to Xue Chen, far from being disliked and rejected, so what Gong Ying'er did made her feel very shameful and embarrassed.
But it didn't make her feel uncomfortable.
After the words were spoken, Li Jiayi felt much more relaxed. When the various dishes were presented, she would not touch the meats that were full of color, flavor and flavor. She simply picked some vegetarian dishes and put them in her mouth. More often than not, her eyes
They were all watching Xue Chen eat.
"Have you started filming?" Xue Chen asked casually after eating a piece of salt-and-pepper lamb chop, taking a sip of juice with satisfaction.
"Well, the filming has started. It's the second female lead." Li Jiayi couldn't help but feel slightly excited when she mentioned filming. She liked filming far better than being a stewardess, but for her, she wanted to be a flight attendant who could have a stable income.
The actor had a hard time becoming a flight attendant.
So, she had to face reality and competed for a job as a stewardess. Now that she got such a good opportunity, she naturally had to seize it firmly. She finally fulfilled her dream, and her first role was the second female lead. She really felt
Like a dream.
"I rarely watch TV series, but you star in this one. I will definitely watch it when it comes out."
Hearing what Xue Chen said, Li Jiayi's eyes lit up, and her face showed joy and anxiety: "Well, this is my first time acting, so maybe my performance is not very good."
"What kind of film are you acting in, a costume drama or a modern drama?"
"It's a modern drama about the workplace..."
Li Jiayi happily revealed the plot of the entire TV series to Xue Chen, just like telling a story.
Now that the meal is done, the plot of the entire TV series is finished.
Xue Chen drove Li Jiayi back to the downstairs of the community.
When Li Jiayi just returned to her rented home, she received a call from Gong Yinger.
"Jiayi, have you met Xue Chen?"
Li Jiayi said happily: "We just had dinner together."
"Oh, what did we talk about?" Gong Yinger asked with interest.
"We talked a lot. I told him the plot of the TV series I was filming now, and he said it was very interesting." Li Jiayi happily sat on the bed.
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time. Gong Ying'er asked uncertainly: "We only talked about this?"
"Yes, the script has thirty-five episodes, and I almost didn't finish it."
Hearing Li Jiayi's words, Gong Yinger let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly. She really didn't know what to say. Did she create the opportunity to tell the story of the script? Shouldn't she talk about topics that enhance the relationship between men and women?
?
However, fortunately, the two of them met, which was enough. She had clearly expressed her thoughts to Xue Chen through this matter.
…
Xue Chen has been outside for a long time, but he cannot return to Haicheng yet because he still has unfinished business. Now the seven stores are in his hands, but this is just the beginning. If these seven stores are combined,
Running a store well is still a big problem.
It is unrealistic for him to manage these seven stores. First of all, just because he understands antiques does not mean he knows how to manage seven stores well. This is not a concept. He needs a professional manager who not only understands antiques.
To do your job, you also need to know management!
There was no such suitable person in his memory, so he could only inquire and search. He called people in the circle to inquire, including Uncle Shen, Yan Ruxing, and familiar friends from the Yunzhou Antiques Association. He also called
Arrive at Zhuge Yi's place.
"Xue Chen, why do you want to find such a person?" Zhuge Yi didn't understand.
"Well, because I have a few more stores recently, I can't take charge of the overall situation well, so I need such a talent to share the burden for me."
Zhuge Yi captured the most housekeeping word in Xue Chen's words "several stores" very well!
"Xue Chen, what do you mean? You mean you have opened another branch, not just one?" The branch in Beijing has only been open for less than half a year, and you have opened other branches? Isn't this too fast?
He was a little worried. It is easy to open a store, but it is not easy to run it well. Among the ten antique stores, one makes a lot of money, three make a small profit, three are in a slightly profitable stage, and the remaining three may all be in the stage of profit.
Losing money.
Therefore, opening an antique store is not an easy task, especially as the antique industry is deep and muddy. Now that Xue Chen has opened several more stores, he is naturally a little surprised.
"Well, these stores are not opened, they are acquired through transactions." Xue Chen explained.
"Well, let's meet and talk. We'll meet in your store. If you're really short of people, maybe I can introduce you to one or two, but I have to figure things out first."
The two met at the Liulichang store, and together with Li Lingchun, the three of them sat in the reception room on the second floor.
"Xue Chen, you said on the phone that there were a few more stores. What do you mean?" Zhuge Yi looked at Xue Chen strangely.
Xue Chen directly took out a piece of paper: "Well, these are the seven stores." (To be continued)
