Chapter 477: Tilan Thinking about Reconciliation
During lunch time, although the restaurant has not officially opened yet, various meals have already been served here, and many employees are eating here.
"So rich."
When the four people lined up in front of the window to get food, Blanche was surprised at the richness of the food here, and the appearance was not bad, not just because it was an employee meal.
The girl who had finished her meal in front turned around and looked at Blanche, thinking that she was a little cute, so she answered.
"Because the chefs are all top chefs specially invited by the hotel, if they do it too badly, they think it is a disgrace to their own standards, and compared with the various losses of the hotel, ordinary ingredients don't cost much."
"Thank you sister for telling me." Blanche has met various sisters and seniors in the past six months, and she has been particularly proficient in saying this.
"You are new here." The other party thought Blanche was a new employee here.
"Yeah."
"Hehe, it's okay, you'll get used to it in the future." After saying that, she left the meal with the food.
After the meal in front, it was Tilan's turn to come forward. She looked at the various foods and hesitated for a while before choosing a few of them.
"Two egg tarts, a grilled lamb chop, grilled vegetables, and a glass of Clear Stone Cola."
[Received, serving your meal]
Then the self-discipline unit in the window manipulated multiple arms to place the food combination selected by Tilan on a plate and handed it out.
The two golden and crispy egg tarts looked like shrunken hamburgers. After biting open the outer crispy crust, there was a soft and tender egg cake inside. The lamb chop was the size of a fully cut palm, with a cut bone in the middle. It was sizzling on a black plate and emitting heat. The grilled vegetables included slightly browned celery, carrot strips, and green cabbage that had just been grilled on the iron plate. Clear Stone Cola is a type of cola with a clear color, a slightly sweet taste, and a low sugar content.
The four of them came to a corner of the restaurant with their plates and sat down. Although Shui Yanqing and Aolesi were still angry at this time, they did not sit at separate tables in the middle. They just sat at diagonal corners of the table to avoid the discomfort of being together.
"The beef patties they grill are delicious." Blanche ate the beef patties in her hand. There were small pieces of beef in it. The grains were distinct and did not look like the minced meat made by unknown manufacturers.
"Well, it's up to standard." Shui Yanqing, who was standing by, spoke simply, finally breaking the silence.
"Are you used to it, Orles?" Tilan asked the singing lady next to her.
"Yes." Orles ate the fruits and pastries in front of her in small bites. She did not order much and the quantity was very small.
Seeing that the two finally spoke, Tilan felt much better. In the following time, the two of them tried to speak less frequently, but at least they would not be silent all the time. Among the four people, Tilan and Blanche, who were originally less talkative, became the main initiators of the topic today.
"If I had not awakened my singing talent, I would be very lucky to work in such a company." Blanche looked at the employees around her and felt very emotional.
"I remember Blanche's grades. They are not bad." Tilan and Blanche spent a lot of time together during the piano learning period, and she became more familiar with Blanche.
"You can go to college, but you can't go to a very good one."
This is actually Blanche being modest, because most people can't go to college, but compared to the other three people at the table, Blanche can only be said to have average talent.
"The talent of a singer has changed the fate of many people."
Shui Yanqing said this for no reason. Although she didn't explain, Tilan also understood her feelings. If it weren't for the talent of a singer, she might not even have "human rights" now, let alone a girl like Orles who came from an elf family.
No wonder she is so cautious, and tries her best to please others, and does things in a way that is flawless. It is probably forced by the environment and experience. Because of her identity, many topics and positions are like walking on a tightrope. If it causes any political problems, it is easy for others to attack her based on her identity.
As for Orles next to her, Tilan glanced at the elf girl who was enjoying her lunch slowly. She was unrestrained since she was a child, advocating nature and nature. She didn't like Shui Yanqing's deliberateness and disguise, as well as her slightly smooth words. Her family background also ensured that Orles didn't have to bow to others or do anything to please others.
Shui Yanqing felt that Orlesi was high and mighty and didn't understand the hardships of the lower class. Orlesi felt that Shui Yanqing was already a singer, but she was still so hypocritical. She used her own bloodline ability to cheat in the speech when they first met, which was very unpleasant.
The two had different underlying values, so it was normal for them to have disagreements.
Perhaps only by letting Orlesi truly understand Shui Yanqing's situation, and then Shui Yanqing can get a truly safe environment without worrying about identity issues, can the contradiction between the two be healed.
It is feasible to let Orlesi understand Shui Yanqing's situation, but it is probably not so simple to truly solve Shui Yanqing's heart disease.
On the surface, Shui Yanqing is the kind of singer who is good at dancing, has high emotional intelligence, and can be very friendly to strangers, but this image is actually a shell to protect herself. It's just that in front of the singers, this shell has no effect. Shui Yanqing, who loses the protection and isolation of the shell, is easily stimulated by Orlesi, and Orlesi is also very sensitive. Some words can always poke Shui Yanqing's most vulnerable place, and then intensify this stimulation.
It seems that it is easier to start with Orlesi. As long as she does not irritate Shui Yanqing, and then slowly understands Shui Yanqing's difficulties, and shows more sympathy and warmth, Shui Yanqing should also be stable.
No, Tilan shook her head again. Things are not that simple. If Orlesi suddenly becomes gentle and considerate to Shui Yanqing, Shui Yanqing may not feel happy, because it is easy for her to understand that the other party is giving her alms and pity and sympathy from a high position.
On the contrary, because of Orlesi's gentleness, Shui Yanqing loses the legitimacy to express her attack, and can only be morally inferior, which will torture her even more.
During the relatively quiet lunch time of the four people, Tilan appeared calm on the surface, but her mind was calculating and simulating situations and possibilities again and again. If Orlesi and Shui Yanqing knew what Tilan was thinking, they would probably be amazed at the girl's deep grasp of their personalities and inner thoughts, and even some reactions that they themselves might not realize.
Lunch slowly ended. When Tilan finished eating the last celery, the plate was empty. At this time, she also had some ideas.
It is probably impossible for two people to never quarrel and live in harmony, but occasional bickering does not mean that the relationship is bad, it just means that both parties need a place to vent and express their true feelings.
The problem is to make this bickering not really hurt each other's self-esteem and inner pain, and even make it more frank and interesting.
The current situation needs to be changed. It is easier to start with Orlesi, change her first, and then slowly guide Shui Yanqing. In fact, Shui Yanqing is also a girl who is good at interpersonal relationships. As long as Orlesi does not stimulate her, she will gradually return to stability.
But this stability also needs to be accompanied by a certain degree of honesty and sincerity, otherwise Orlesi will feel unbalanced. I have accommodated you, but you are still pretending like this. Then Orlesi will give up and continue to turn back to the past stimulation, because she just doesn't like Shui Yanqing's insincere appearance.
No matter what the result is, let's try it first, Tilan made a decision.
"We've finished our meal. It's still early for the afternoon practice. Why don't we take a walk." It's rare for Tilan to take the initiative to propose. Generally, Orlesi and Shui Yanqing make decisions among the four.
"Yeah." Shui Yanqing has no objection.
"Okay, look around." Blanche is looking forward to it.
"I'll follow Tilan." Orlesi simply expressed her support for Tilan.
So the four got up and left the restaurant.
"I saw on the map that there is an artificial botanical garden on the 12th floor. The environment there is very good." Tilan said, displaying the screen projected by the personal terminal.
The other three agreed to this. It would be good to go for a walk, otherwise it would be boring practice again when they returned to that room.
The four of them took the elevator up and headed towards the artificial botanical garden. Along the way, they occasionally met staff members and cleaning self-discipline units passing by. When they arrived at the gate of the botanical garden, they simply swiped their identity chips and opened the door.
"The landscape and flowers in the botanical garden are still under construction and cultivation. They do not represent the final quality. Please understand if there are areas that are not fully filled."
The staff member on the side briefly explained the situation to the four people. He probably regarded the four girls as guests who were trying to stay in the hotel. In order to test and find out the missing problems, many people would be invited to try to stay in the hotel before it officially opened. Among them were friends of the manager or boss, or some partners and internal employees of the company.
Walking into the botanical garden, the sunlight lamp above the head was like a simulated sun, which made the room particularly warm. In this space isolated from each other by glass rooms, various trees and flowers grow, many of which are special, and the leaves and blooming flowers are particularly delicate and dense.
"This is the red hibiscus, because the leaves are similar to mulberry leaves, so some people call it 'Buddha mulberry flower' or 'hibiscus flower'."
Walking into a glass room, there are many flowers with fiery petals, which are particularly bright and beautiful. The colors are light pink, bright red, bright yellow, pink and white, etc. The color of the petals is slightly darker in the middle near the stamens, and then lighter at the edges, and the delicate white is revealed at the edge of the petals, which is very beautiful.
"Is there still this name?" Orles knew this kind of flower, but she was not sure about the other names behind it.
"Yes, because this kind of flower is particularly beautiful when it blooms, just like a burning flame, so in the ancient mythology, the place where they bloom is where the sun rises, and it is said that there is a 'Fusang tree' there, on which ten sun birds landed." Tilan told the ancient legend of the East.
"Because it is particularly beautiful, it is said that in ancient times, it would be picked and inserted into hairpins. The hairpin that Jian Xiner gave us last time originated from this."
"So there is this relationship."
"Well, but it is also a very ancient history. It is basically not used now." Tilan explained.
Taking the three people to browse the botanical garden, some of them were familiar to Tilan, and some were more familiar to Orles. Shui Yanqing occasionally added a few, and slowly, the conversation of the four people gradually returned to normal.
"The flowers here seem to be rare." Blanche pointed to the corner with only a few white flowers. They have a special appearance, with some petals upright and some drooping, very open, and milky white in color.
"This is..." Tilan searched for the signboard for a long time before she saw it in the corner.
"White Swallowtail Orchid, a relatively rare orchid." There are many plants under the Orchidaceae family, and this is the first time Tilan has seen this kind of orchid.
"I saw in the information that this kind of orchid only grows in deep mountain valleys." Blanche flipped through the information she had just found.
"Orchids are relatively delicate. The climate in deep mountain valleys is stable and generally humid, so they can grow." Tilan complained about the situation in some cultures that over-exaggerated orchid flowers, and she herself was also affected by this.
For this reason, she is often compared to an orchid in the valley by netizens, because judging from her appearance alone, Tilan does look a bit weak.
After listening to Tilan's complaints and small complaints, the others couldn't help laughing.
"So, Tilan doesn't think she is weak."
"It's not that I'm very strong, I just feel that I'm a little too caring for me. In fact, I'm not that fragile." Tilan shook her head slightly.
After listening to her explanation, the three smiled.
"It seems that I have never seen Tilan admit defeat and fall to the ground." The three of them recalled.
"Tilan was like a miracle in high school." Blanche commented.
"Why do people still think Tilan needs to be taken care of after doing so many things? Is it because she is soft and easy to bully? Hehe." Shui Yanqing laughed.
"Tilan is really easy to talk to." Orles thought for a while and added.
"Because many things are not to the point where you have to refuse." The girl shook her head slightly. In fact, she still understands everyone's difficulties.
"So, you see, this is Tilan."
"Shining~" Blanche compared.
"Honest and straightforward." Orles said what she liked.
"Everyone loves her." Shui Yanqing said what she envied.
"Okay, stop praising her." Tilan knew that everyone was making trouble again, and she really didn't know how to respond.
Nodding and saying, yes, this is me, that's too narcissistic, but completely denying it feels a bit hypocritical and overly modest, because she really aspires to be that kind of person.
After this walk, the atmosphere in the four-person room was much more relaxed, and it was roughly back to normal. However, when the four chatted, Orles and Shui Yanqing tacitly did not respond to each other's words. Even if they had something to say, they would only speak to Tilan or Blanche.
The afternoon rehearsal began. After the four gradually became familiar with the repertoire, they were arranged to sit in the orchestra in the Golden Hall and temporarily became one of them to participate in the common contact, familiarize themselves with each other's rhythm and sorting process.
At six o'clock in the evening, the first day of rehearsal ended, and the four were ready to leave.
The Four Winds Hotel was brightly lit at night. The two giant trees that were seen when they came in during the day were illuminated by the lights at night. The leaves reflected the light of the wild rice and the night sky of the curved dome, which was very beautiful.
When the four came to the lobby on the first floor, they walked slowly under the giant tree like many people who left work, enjoying the night view here.
This continued until a commotion broke the silence. A woman in a dark purple suit accompanied several young people to enter the main door. Following behind them were a large group of people in suits and uniforms holding briefcases. These people surrounded the young people in the middle with a respectful attitude, like stars surrounding the moon.
When the group walked to the center of the hall, many employees who were originally standing on the side of the road immediately stood up and bowed. Among the few who did not do so, the four singing girls were particularly conspicuous.
One of the young men surrounded by the crowd looked up and happened to see the four girls. Soon his eyes were attracted by one of them.
With long black hair and eyes that seemed to be about to drip with tears, she was particularly pitiful and moving, at least in his eyes.
Surprisingly, this young man with a not-so-simple identity walked straight out and came to the girl.
"I am Oster, one of the owners of this hotel, the heir of the family of Notos, the god of the south wind. Can I invite this lady to dinner?" He was very strong and understood the powerful influence brought by his identity. For someone like him, there was no need for any cumbersome love skills.
"Ah, this."
The girl was surprised and covered her mouth. The other three girls beside her were also stared at by the group of people.
"How about just agree to him?" Orlesi smiled secretly.
"What should I do?" The one who spoke was Blanche.
"If you don't like it, just refuse it." Tilan said, because the one who was invited at this moment was the black-haired version of Shui Yanqing.
