Wen Ruo's face turned red.
He was so close that her heart almost stopped beating: "I, I'm not, I just thought, I didn't want to..."
It's completely incoherent.
How could such a fool actually curry favor with anyone? Lu Xingyun stopped teasing her and stood up: "Eat it yourself."
Although he was a little greedy, he was not willing to eat the food Wen Ruo brought him.
Only when the approaching aura dissipated did Wen Ruo finally breathe a sigh of relief. She subconsciously moved the lunch box back a little and no longer dared to say those words she had just said.
Lu Xingyun walked away on the water.
Wen Ruo looked at the back and thought, Lu Xingyun definitely didn't remember her, so he wouldn't know that it was her father who cooked the dish. This behavior was very inappropriate, and she was just being impatient.
Be sure to pay attention next time!
Wen Ruo lowered his head to eat.
A week passed in a flash, and her roommate Zhou Qingni sent her a WeChat message, asking about her job search.
As soon as she mentioned Chengrui Company, Zhou Qingni called.
"Okay, Ruoruo, you found a job without making any noise? Or in Chengrui?"
"I was lucky. They had already hired a translator and were just short of an assistant."
"It's boring," Zhou Qingni was playing with her newly tied bun, "Being an assistant is annoying, you have to take care of every little thing... Ruoruo, if you're willing, you can come to my grandfather's company, I'll tell him, you can be a translator." She added, "I'm not talking after the fact, I mentioned it to you before, but you didn't want it."
"I don't want to bother you."
The first time I saw Zhou Qingni in the dormitory, I knew she was a rich person. She was very particular about everything she did, and she and Wen Ruo seemed to live in two different worlds. But later on, she became best friends with her.
"What's the trouble? Are you being polite to me? But forget it. My grandfather's crappy company will go bankrupt sooner or later. It's an antique." Zhou Qingni said cynically, "That Chengrui is not bad. It's a new big company. You should do a good job."
"Um."
She still spoke as little as before. Zhou Qingni felt like a failure. She had not been able to influence Wen Ruo in four years. She was still so introverted.
"Let's go out and play tomorrow night." She invited him. "You found a job, so let's celebrate. Invite Jiahui along."
In college, four of them lived in a room. In addition to Zhang Jiahui, there was also Xu Zhou, but Xu Zhou went to work in another place.
Wen Ruo hesitated: "I don't know if she is free. Besides, it's not a big deal and there's no need to celebrate."
"You really act like an old man, you just like staying at home!" Zhou Qingni said disdainfully, "If you don't want to celebrate, can you celebrate mine?"
"You also found..." No, Zhou Qingni has her own company at home, so why does she need to find a job? Wen Ruo was surprised.
"I signed a contract with Yuexing the day before yesterday."
Yuexing Media is affiliated to Shifeng Group and was established ten years ago. It has become a leading company in the entertainment industry and has made countless actors famous over the years. However, Wen Ruo was completely stunned that Zhou Qingni would actually go to an entertainment company.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Zhou Qingni chuckled: "Surprising, right?"
"Yes." They were studying foreign languages, but Zhou Qingni actually changed her career to become an actress. Wen Ruo couldn't understand why, but she said firmly, "You will definitely become a big star."
Zhou Qingni is gorgeous and famous in school. She is also smart, so it is not difficult for her to be an actress.
Zhou Qingni was not modest at all: "Of course!" She also made a bold statement, "When I become famous, I will take you into the entertainment industry."
Wen Ruo: ...She doesn’t have that ability.
“I already have a job.”
What kind of good job is a little assistant? It's so easy to satisfy, but the entertainment industry isn't such a good place, if it weren't for... Zhou Qingni raised her eyebrows: "Anyway, it's settled, we'll meet at the Blue Night Bar tomorrow," and added, "bring me a bottle of XO sauce."
XO sauce is a condiment that is sold in supermarkets, but Mr. Wen likes to make it himself. He will go to the market to buy dried scallops, ham, dried shrimps and other ingredients, and then spend several hours in the kitchen to slowly cook them.
One time Wen Ruo gave Zhou Qingni a bottle, and she became addicted to it.
Wen Ruo nodded: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, she ran to the refrigerator to look for something.
Wen Lixin asked: "What are you looking for?"
"I'm having a party with my roommates tomorrow, and Zhou Qingni asked me to bring a bottle of XO sauce."
"Here," Wen Lixin handed it to her and asked, "Are all your roommates going? Bring two more bottles."
Well, we can’t just give it to one person, Wen Ruo asked: “Will the store be short of it?”
"No, I just made a few new bottles."
Wen Ruo nodded.
When she got off work, she took two bottles of XO sauce and took the bus.
It was peak time and there were a lot of people, but Wen Ruo was reluctant to take a taxi.
Unexpectedly, just when she got off the bus and was about to take another one, a car suddenly drove up and stopped beside her.
Wen Ruo was puzzled and turned his head to look.
But the car windows were dark and it was hard to see clearly, so the man inside the car could more easily observe Wen Ruo.
Just now he saw a slender figure walking by. She was wearing a snow-white dress and had black hair that just reached her butterfly bones.
It seemed that Wen Ruo was also wearing a white dress to work today. He didn't know if it was her, but now he could see clearly that this little girl had big eyes, curved eyebrows, a small and straight nose, red lips, and her skin was so white that it was almost dazzling standing in the sunset.
It's really her!
Lu Xingyun opened the car window: "What are you doing here?"
Wen Ruo was surprised to find out that it was his boss: "...I'll take the car."
This doesn't seem like her way home, does it? Lu Xingyun asked again: "Where are you going?"
Actually, this was a private matter, but Wen Ruo couldn't think of anything else when she met his dark eyes, so she answered honestly: "Blue Night Bar."
bar?
Now it was Lu Xingyun's turn to be surprised.
I never thought this little idiot would go to a bar to hang out. He said, "Get in the car."
Wen Ruo was stunned.
Lu Xingyun raised his eyebrows: "Come up."
Wen Ruo opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
There was a clear smell of perfume in the car, and she instantly felt her heart start beating wildly.
Why did Lu Xingyun ask her to get in the car? She suddenly had a question now. She was obviously going to have a reunion with her classmates, so why did she get in so obediently? Wen Ruo's fingers were tightly grasping the bag of XO sauce, her face looking panicked.
Lu Xingyun looked at her stiff body and asked, "What did you bring?"
"XO-chan," Wen Ruo quickly explained, "Manager, I want to go to the Blue Night Bar, can you let me down?"
"cannot."
"Ah," Wen Ruo asked in a low voice, "Why?"
Lu Xingyun stopped talking.
His profile was unusually stern, yet also very handsome. From forehead to chin, there was not a single flaw. Wen Ruo glanced at him secretly, her heart beating fast. She wanted to ask again but didn't have the courage.
He must have a reason.
Wen Ruo also remained silent, but his chest kept rising and falling due to nervousness.
The car drove for about fifteen minutes and stopped. Wen Ruo looked outside and was surprised to find the Blue Night Bar in front of her. She was just about to tell Lu Xingyun something when he had already opened the car door and got out.
Wen Ruo was dumbfounded.
She followed behind: “Manager, are you going there too?”
The Blue Night Bar is very famous in Lianxi City, and the consumption level is also very high. Lu Xingyun turned his head to glance at Wen Ruo: "How many times have you been here?"
Wen Ruo thought about it and said, "Once."
It was Zhou Qingni who brought her here that time.
"Like it here?"
dislike……
Wen Ruo thought that this place was too noisy, but she liked Zhou Qingni very much. When Zhou Qingni wanted to take her to play, she agreed, as it was a rare opportunity to come here anyway.
She shook her head.
Lu Xingyun smiled. This was more like what he meant.
Such a good little fool shouldn't like bars.
He put his hands in his trouser pockets: "Go ahead."
His figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree. Wen Ruo felt her face getting hot as she looked at him. She wondered if he had sent her here specially? No, no, that's impossible. It must be on the way. She whispered, "Thank you, manager."
Lu Xingyun didn't reply and planned to get in the car.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the front: "Lu Xingyun!"
He paused.
The man ran over quickly and said, "It's you, Xingyun. Long time no see. Are you here at the bar too?"
It was Pan Lie, a classmate who used to play basketball with him at Lian University.
Lu Xingyun was already at the door of the bar, so he didn't deny it: "What a coincidence."
"Isn't it!" Pan Lie has a cheerful personality and immediately put his hand on Lu Xingyun's shoulder. "I come here often, but I've never run into you. Today is such a coincidence... I wonder, what are you busy with? You didn't even come to the class reunion. You should at least have a drink with us today."
Lu Xingyun is not the type to keep strangers away, so he smiled and said, "Okay."
Pan Lie was very happy and started making phone calls, inviting everyone from his former basketball team.
Wen Ruo was standing nearby, and she had already recognized Pan Lie.
At that time, when Lu Xingyun came to eat, he often did not come alone, but always with three or five people, or a large group, and Pan Lie was one of them.
But she didn't want to be discovered by Pan Lie, so she whispered to Lu Xingyun: "Manager, I'm going to the bar first."
Before Lu Xingyun could speak, Pan Lie's eyes had already glanced over, full of gossip: "Xingyun, is this your girlfriend?"
Wen Ruo's face turned red: "No, it's not!"
Like a frightened child.
Lu Xingyun said indifferently: "She is my assistant."
"Oh!" Pan Lie understood.
Lu Xingyun's father opened a company with his uncle, but because Lu Xingyun's cousin was a policeman and was keen on solving cases, and his uncle wanted to retire, he handed the company over to Lu Xingyun's father. Lu Xingyun's position in the company must be high, so it is normal for him to have an assistant.
But why does this assistant look so familiar? Pan Lie was thinking while talking on the phone.
Especially those eyes, so gentle, so watery, he must have seen them somewhere before. He thought and thought, and finally remembered.
That was the little girl from the Wen family restaurant in front of the school.
"Hey," Pan Lie grinned at Wen Ruo, "Little sister, it turns out to be you. Do you still remember me, your brother?"
Wen Ruo:......
The author has something to say: Lu Xingyun: She won’t call you brother.
Wen Ruo: Yes!
Pan Lie: ...
