The hot pot restaurant was not far from Su Tiantian's workplace, and Su Tiantian was clearly a regular customer. As soon as the cashier saw Su Tiantian, she said, "Manager Su, you're here. Is this your new colleague?"
Su Tiantian said: "He is my fiancé, how much is it?"
The cashier said: "The price is the same as before, 118 yuan per person, a total of 236 yuan. Please show the QR code." This time, Su Tiantian obediently let Liu Jingze pay.
After the two sat down, Liu Jingze said, "Does Tiantian come here often?"
Su Tiantian nodded. "Yes, this place is not far from the company. I've been here many times with my colleagues. It's not expensive. Dinner is a little more expensive than lunch, at 138 per person. There are a variety of hot pot bases to choose from, and there's no pot fee. However, Vice President Xu said I was wasting money on the hot pot buffet because I ate too little, while my male colleagues ate more."
Liu Jingze said: "It's good to be full. What kind of food do you want to take?"
Su Tiantian said, "Come, let's go get it together. Brother Jing, what do you like to eat?"
The two of them selected several dishes, including beef, shrimp, lamb, meatballs, lettuce, pork liver, mushrooms, potatoes, and dried bean curd sheets. Liu Jingze unbuttoned his shirt cuffs, rolled up his sleeves, and slowly put the food into the pot. He looked at the smoke rising from the boiling water in the pot, and then looked at Liu Jingze across from him. His down-to-earth and elegant movements made Su Tiantian take a photo of him with her phone and said, "The smell of fireworks in the world, the smell of fireworks in hot pot."
Liu Jingze's lips curled up slightly: "Tiantian, where are you planning to take your wedding photos?"
Su Tiantian said, "Actually, I think it doesn't matter where we take the photos. Those wedding photos are so retouched and aesthetically pleasing that they don't look like me. I want to take some natural photos. The beach would be a good choice, right?"
Liu Jingze put a piece of beef into Su Tiantian's bowl and said, "Hui Lin's older brother is a great photographer. He opened a studio downtown. They take wedding photos, daily photos, full-moon photos, company events, and more. Why don't we ask him to take them? If you don't like overly retouched photos, you can just ask them to be more realistic."
Su Tiantian said, "Sure, I wonder if it's expensive?"
Liu Jingze said, "There are various photo packages, some cheap and some expensive, but he definitely won't charge me more. If you like the beach, why not go to Kuojiang City? The beach there is very clear. I have a house there, so you don't have to worry about accommodation."
Su Tiantian said, "Okay, I've been there twice. The environment is nice. I saw people taking wedding photos there last time."
Liu Jingze said, "You have five days of vacation. How about going for the last three days? Two days is fine too. Three days gives you more time."
Su Tiantian said, "Then let's have three days. The round trip drive, putting on makeup and changing clothes also take time. Three days is better."
Liu Jingze said: "Why don't we ask Zhihao if they want to take wedding photos together? They also want to take photos, so they can go with us."
Hearing this, Su Tiantian was very moved: “Brother Jing, you are so kind, even taking wedding photos, you still consider my brother.”
Liu Jingze picked up a piece of pig liver for Su Tiantian and said, "Your brother is my brother."
Su Tiantian sent a message in the group of four: Brother Jing and I are planning to go to the beach in Kuojiang City to take wedding photos from the 16th to the 18th of this month. Do you want to join us?
Su Zhihao: How much does it cost?
Liu Jingze: I don’t know how much it costs, but you don’t have to pay for it. My friend runs a photo studio and he has good photography skills.
Li Yunling: That’s not a good idea. We’ll go with you guys while you take your wedding photos.
Liu Jingze: Do the studios only accept our business? Even if there are more people, they can still take pictures. They will arrange it.
Su Zhihao: Let’s think about it first.
Liu Jingze: Please give me a reply tonight. I want to make an appointment.
Su Zhihao: Okay, thank you Brother Jing, are you still with my sister?
Su Tiantian posted a photo of Liu Jingze eating hot pot: Brother Jing and I are eating hot pot, and he will be going back tonight.
Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian continued to eat hot pot, while on the other side, Su Zhihao and Li Yunling were eating.
Li Yunling said: "I was fired, but fortunately the company gave me two months' compensation, so I have time to take wedding photos. But it's not good to go with your sister and Brother Jing, right?"
Su Zhihao said, "If you want to go, go ahead. My sister is one of us, and Brother Jing will soon be my brother-in-law, so he's one of us too. Besides, haven't we also thought about taking wedding photos at the beach?"
Li Yunling said, "Then let's go, but we shouldn't take advantage of them. We should give the money for the wedding photos to Brother Jing. I hope the person Brother Jing finds won't be too expensive."
Su Zhihao said, "Then I'll arrange my work and take three days off. We haven't gone out to play for a long time."
Su Zhihao sent a message: Brother Jing, sister, Aling and I will go with you to take wedding photos.
Su Tiantian: Okay.
Liu Jingze: I'll let you know once I've arranged the specific itinerary. I have a house there, but it's not very big, so it's still roomy enough for four people.
Su Zhihao: Brother Jing, how many houses do you have?
Liu Jingze: Ask your sister, I have told her.
Su Tiantian, who was eating bean curd sheets, saw the message with an innocent look on her face: Brother Jing said it himself.
Li Yunling: Needless to say, Zhihao is just gossipy. Sister Tiantian, I was fired and I’m a little sad. I really liked that job.
Su Tiantian: So sudden, why did this happen?
Li Yunling: The company's orders have decreased, so we have to reduce staff. Fortunately, we received two months' compensation.
Su Tiantian: What are your plans?
Su Zhihao: I asked her to work in my hardware factory, but she said she wanted to take a break for a while first.
Li Yunling: I don’t understand what’s going on in the factory.
Su Tiantian: Mom and Dad will teach you. In the future, you and Zhihao will take over the factory.
Li Yunling: The problem is that your younger brother doesn't seem to want to take over, let alone you, Sister Tiantian. Your mother asked me just two days ago what to do since neither of you two siblings are interested in the factory.
Su Tiantian: Aling, take your time, you will understand then.
Liu Jingze: Aling, what kind of job are you looking for? What are your requirements? If it's suitable, I can recommend a job for you.
