Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Are you going back tonight? [Catch...
This is too much of a coincidence.
It was hard for Xu Zhixi not to suspect that the manager was operating behind the scenes, but he also felt that it was not in line with common sense.
No one would rush to give her money.
She's not some famous person who needs the manager to curry favor with her.
"Will you really give me 10,000 yuan in cash unconditionally?"
"Yes." The manager nodded and said respectfully, "Please leave your contact information and account number. Once we have processed the relevant matters, the money will be deposited into your account within 24 hours."
Xu Zhixi was still skeptical: "Is it that simple? Aren't there any other procedures?"
A pie in the sky?
There must be some trick to get something so easy.
The manager seemed to see Xu Zhixi's embarrassment and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, our activities have all been reviewed through formal procedures. All necessary procedures are complete. There are absolutely no other conditions."
The key is that he doesn’t dare to have it.
With such a big prince here, how could he dare to have any ulterior motives?
Xu Zhixi had no choice but to look at Song Jing, asking with his eyes whether he was trustworthy.
Song Jing was amused by her.
She was so excited when she drew the lucky bags that she wanted to take them all away and win the highest prize. But now that she has won, she is actually backing off.
Sometimes the awareness of fraud prevention is quite strong.
"Don't you still have me?" Song Jing squeezed her palm, his voice low and soothing, "Let's go, I'll help you fill out the information."
Hearing him say this, Xu Zhixi felt much more at ease.
After all, Song Jing is older than her, has more social experience than her, and is also her superior.
He said it's okay, so it must be okay.
Filling out the paperwork took only a moment, and the manager stayed by their side the entire time, anxious to see if they needed anything. If Xu Zhixi stood there for even two seconds longer, he would have moved his chair over to her side.
After respectfully seeing the two off, the manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.
Finally left.
Although their Canglanzhai has become more famous in the past two years and many dignitaries have set foot here, he really didn't expect that the prince of the Song Group would also come.
The largest shareholder of Canglanzhai is the Song family. However, to the Song family, Canglanzhai is just the most insignificant restaurant under their umbrella.
Canglanzhai takes the middle to high-end route. Someone of the status of the Song family's prince usually goes to top restaurants, where a meal starts at one million. Even if he is not so well-off, he has a private chef. His sudden appearance in their restaurant without any warning almost scared him to death.
Knowing very well that the Song family members were inherently noble and low-key, he couldn't even know how to strike the right balance when flattering them.
Fortunately, there was a Miss Xu who could make him show some courtesy.
It’s not to say that he didn’t flatter anyone at all.
…
After getting in the car, Xu Zhixi fastened her seatbelt. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss. She tilted her head to look at the man calmly steering the wheel beside her. She couldn't help but ask, "Are all managers at Canglanzhai so free?"
Although Canglanzhai was established not long ago, it is now very famous. The restaurant manager should be a senior executive at least. How could he have so much time to mess around with two ordinary people like them?
Especially his attitude, which is even more humble and considerate than the service of some low-end restaurants.
For a moment, she almost doubted whether she was some rich girl who had fallen into poverty.
Considering all the strange things that happened in the past two days, Xu Zhixi felt that it was necessary to ask her father if she had any special background when she returned home during the Qingming Festival.
Song Jing glanced at her and asked casually, "Isn't such thoughtful service good?"
"It's good, but..." I always feel like something is strange, but I can't put my finger on it.
Song Jing smiled and touched the back of her head with his free hand. "Maybe he sees that you are a blessed person and will be very successful soon."
Xu Zhixi slapped his hand away: "Even if I really get a job, there are so many civil servants in Hangzhou, how successful can I be?" Isn't it said that if you want to be an official, you shouldn't think about getting rich, and if you want to get rich, you shouldn't be an official. She just wanted to find a job that she liked and was stable. Even if she really got a job, it wouldn't be considered a successful career.
Song Jing didn't get angry after being slapped mercilessly by her: "Otherwise, it means he saw that I can help you to rise to great heights in the future?"
Xu Zhixi: “…”
Hertz couldn't even get a 4A, so even if he was promoted from deputy to director and became the AD of the customer department, he wouldn't be able to rise very quickly.
This guy is becoming more and more narcissistic.
Xu Zhixi turned his head to look out the window, watching the passing traffic and the night scene, and didn't want to discuss such meaningless topics with him anymore.
Maybe she was just overthinking it.
Maybe this is the characteristic of Canglanzhai. The manager does not treat different customers differently and treats all customers equally, which is why the restaurant became so popular so quickly.
Looking at the increasingly unfamiliar street scene outside, Xu Zhixi's eyes flashed with confusion: "Where are we going?"
"My home."
“…” I almost forgot.
Canglanzhai is some distance away from Song Jing's residence, and it takes about half an hour to reach the community.
Before they were together, Xu Zhixi had come here to visit Song Jing once for work. This area was full of small houses, and the environment was definitely much better than Lilin Hua Ting, and the housing prices were also more expensive.
The last time he came here was for work, and Xu Zhixi hardly dared to look around, so he didn't see the layout of the living room clearly. This time he was much more calm.
Song Jing walked in first, squatted on one knee, and handed the slippers that had been prepared long ago to her feet: "Take a look and see if they fit."
Xu Zhixi was still observing her surroundings when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Song Jing squatting in front of her. She quickly took a half step back. After realizing that he was handing her a shoe, a flash of embarrassment flashed in her eyes: "...Thank you."
She was startled and thought Song Jing was proposing to her.
It's not her fault for misunderstanding. It was mainly because she was distracted just now, and Wang Zi proposed to her before. Suddenly seeing Song Jing squatting on one knee in front of her, it was inevitable that she would think too much.
Song Jing naturally didn't miss her reaction. He just smiled faintly, stood up and changed his shoes: "The cat should be in the guest room. I'll go look for it."
Xu Zhixi nodded.
After all, this was her first time visiting Song Jing's house as a girlfriend, so she was inevitably a little reserved. After seeing him leave, she reluctantly relaxed and looked around.
The living room is exceptionally airy, with large floor-to-ceiling windows offering a nighttime view of the neighborhood. The streetlights illuminate the room, adding a touch of brightness. The minimalist decor is black and white, with walnut furniture predominantly used. The light pouring down from the living room creates a refreshing atmosphere.
The room is very spacious, but because it is too spacious, or because there are too few decorations in the house, it seems too deserted and lifeless.
But true.
In the past, Song Jing looked like a banished immortal who was detached from the mundane world. Such a simple and cool decoration really seemed to be a space that could accommodate him.
Just as she was daydreaming, a few "meows" brought her back to her senses.
Xu Zhixi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little cheese kitten running towards him with its tail raised high.
Almost jumping around.
Xu Zhixi squatted down, took it in his arms, stroked its little head, and looked up at Song Jing: "So cute. What's its name?"
Song Jing wasn't really interested in small animals, but seeing how much Xu Zhixi liked it, he actually found the little kitten pleasing to the eye: "Miao Miao."
"It's so cute." Xu Zhixi rubbed its little head with her face, almost unable to let go of the furry feel.
Miaomiao meowed comfortably twice, which made Xu Zhixi even more adorable.
Ever since she was little, Xu Zhixi had always wanted a kitten, but her principal disagreed. Plus, since one of them had to work and the other to go to school, leaving a cat alone at home most of the day was too pitiful, so she never got one.
After starting work, Xu Zhixi was overwhelmed by work every day, and now he is busy preparing for the civil service exam, so naturally he has no time to think about raising a cat.
Now it's rare to satisfy my cat addiction.
Xu Zhixi rubbed it twice and couldn't help teasing it with her hands. The kitten was very active and kept circling around her. The person and the cat had a lot of fun playing together.
Finally, Miaomiao lay down directly on the carpet. Xu Zhixi tapped its wet little nose with his finger and laughed, "You're just tired."
“Meow…”
Xu Zhixi was having a lot of fun playing with Miaomiao when suddenly a dark shadow came over and Song Jing squatted on one knee right in front of her.
Xu Zhixi looked up.
Song Jing tentatively reached out and touched Miaomiao's head, as if to feel the texture, and then commented: "Average."
Xu Zhixi: “…”
Miaomiao seemed to feel that she was being disliked. She rolled over and stood up, using all four paws to run away.
It seems that this little guy is not shy at all. He can even do parkour when he just arrived in a new environment.
Xu Zhixi stood up and asked curiously, "Don't you like cats?"
The little thing that had monopolized Xu Zhixi's attention finally left, and Song Jing also stood up. His voice was low and calm: "I don't hate it."
But I don’t like it either.
But the latter sentence was not said.
Since Xu Zhixi liked cats so much and might raise one in the future, he reluctantly accepted it.
"If you like," he whispered, "you can come here every day from now on."
How could that be embarrassing? Xu Zhixi looked away uncomfortably, his eyes flickering: "I have to study every day, so I probably don't have time."
This is the truth.
In order to go out on a date today, she studied intensively during the day and was able to complete her plan ahead of time. Otherwise, she would have to continue studying when she got home at night, which would have been too tiring.
Song Jing raised his thin lips slightly, and without saying anything else, he asked, "What do you want to drink?"
Xu Zhixi: "Warm water is fine."
Song Jing responded with "hmm" and turned to get some water.
Xu Zhixi took a deep breath. She didn't know why, but even though they were a single man and a single woman, she felt more nervous than ever before.
I sat down on the sofa, and the phone in my bag vibrated. Someone sent me a message.
Gao Yue: [Some people's dates haven't ended yet?]
Xu Zhixi bit her lip and replied: [I'm at his house.]
Gao Yue: [Ahhh!]
Gao Yue: [Groundhog screams!]
Gao Yue: [Are you going back tonight? /doghead]
Xu Zhixi's ears suddenly felt hot. When she saw Song Jing coming over with a cup of water, she put away her phone and didn't reply.
Song Jing placed the water cup on the coffee table in front of her. At the same time, his tall figure took the opportunity to sit down on the sofa beside her. Seeing her pick up the water cup and drink water cautiously, a smile appeared in his eyes: "Want to watch a movie?"
Xu Zhixi took a sip of water and suppressed the nervousness in his heart: "What movie?"
Song Jing picked up the remote control and turned on the projector: "What kind of movies do you like?"
“I like all the classic ones.”
Song Jing searched through the movie library and finally picked out a classic film. He looked at the woman beside him who was still sipping a glass and asked her opinion: "Have you seen The Truman Show?"
Xu Zhixi shook his head: "I've only heard of it."
"So this one?"
"Can."
Song Jing clicked play, then reached out to take the neatly folded blanket, opened it, and gently covered Xu Zhixi's legs: "Don't get cold."
The sound of the movie drowned out the sound of her heartbeat. Xu Zhixi put down the water cup, grabbed the corner of the quilt with her fingers, and the tension in her heart slowly subsided.
This film is indeed a classic.
In just a few minutes, her attention was drawn to the movie and she was completely immersed in it.
Just as her emotions were fluctuating with the plot, she suddenly felt warmth at her fingertips. She turned her head in a daze, and he happened to hold her hand.
