Chapter 31 The Longest Confession(1/2)
"In order to celebrate the sales department's equity exceeding 1,000,000,000, Mr. Huang plans to invite all colleagues in the sales department to dinner tonight. Lin Qi, you are our great hero, you must come tonight."
(⊙o⊙)…This is embarrassing for him.
"Um, Mr. Li, I'm really sorry. I made an appointment with someone tonight, so it's not convenient for me to push it."
"What a coincidence? How many people have you made an appointment with? Why don't you come over to eat with us? You always eat wherever you go. The more people there are, the more lively it will be, and it can also help you shine."
Pushy?
What's so exciting about it?
Do you want to be in the limelight now?
What we want now is to get ahead!
"It's really inconvenient, Mr. Li, it's really inconvenient.
How about Mr. Li, if you think this is a good idea, you can celebrate tonight first, and then I'll treat you all to a meal next week to show my appreciation."
"That's not necessary. You really can't come tonight?"
Lin Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Mr. Huang again."
Because of the dual issues of Lin Qi's identity and performance, Li Junkai couldn't say anything too harsh, so he had to leave the room angrily to communicate with Huang Shan.
After a while, Huang Shan came to Lin Qi's office in person.
"Xiao Lin, I heard that you have an appointment tonight?"
Huang Shan, the general manager of the S market sales department of Yuehua Futures, is a middle-aged man with a big belly. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looks polite.
As soon as he entered Lin Qi's room, he enthusiastically walked forward and handed Lin Qi a cigarette, with a warm smile on his plump face.
Lin Qi had no choice but to stand up quickly to greet him.
"Yes, Mr. Huang, I'm really sorry. I made an appointment with someone a long time ago. It's hard to push it forward now."
"Haha, I understand, it's okay. Tonight's celebration was originally a last-minute event. It would be inconvenient for several colleagues tonight, so we discussed it and wanted to change it to next Friday. This way, we can make an appointment in advance and everyone can
It will be easier to arrange the itinerary. Next Friday night, Xiaolin, are you okay?"
"No problem, no problem. Thank you Mr. Huang for your understanding."
Naturally, Lin Qi didn't believe the nonsense that several colleagues said that it was inconvenient tonight. When Li Junkai left just now, Lin Qi clearly heard a heated discussion outside about what to eat tonight.
But even the boss, Huang Shan, personally came over to save face and built a staircase for both parties to get off, so Lin Qi was naturally not so ignorant.
It's just that Lynch doesn't have any psychological burden about causing other people to reschedule.
First of all, if it weren't for his performance, there would be no such celebration.
In this case, there is no reason for Lynch to accommodate others when it comes to celebrating his victory. Others must accommodate him.
Besides, Lynch didn't mean to make things difficult, but he just couldn't leave tonight.
In fact, it's okay not to invite Lynch to celebrate. Lynch doesn't mind at all. It's just that Huang Shan and Li Junkai can't let go. If he insists on inviting Lynch, there's no other way.
Lynch was forced to play a big name for once.
…
The sky is deserted with a bright moon and few stars.
The place is bustling with people.
Late at night.
After celebrating Lin Qi's first income all night long, exhausted Lin Qi and Zhang Xiaoxiao were sitting in a busy casserole porridge restaurant waiting for their food to be served.
Casserole porridge, as its name suggests, is porridge cooked in a casserole as a vessel. Generally speaking, casserole porridge refers to Chaoshan casserole porridge.
This kind of porridge is not the traditional bland white porridge, but a salty porridge that is rich in ingredients and can be freely mixed with ingredients.
Among them, crab porridge, blood eel porridge, geoduck porridge, and grouper porridge are more representative.
When making it, first cook the soaked uncooked rice in a casserole until it is almost cooked, then add main ingredients such as crabs, shrimps, frogs, eels, and fish fillets, as well as winter vegetables, shredded mushrooms, shredded ginger, and peanut butter.
and other unique seasoning and fresh ingredients.
Finally, a pot of delicious food with rich aroma and rich nutrition is cooked.
This shop called "Bodi Casserole Porridge" has been in business for ten years. It has always been the first choice for casserole porridge when Lynch and Zhang Xiaoxiao were young.
In the next ten years or so, this store's business and products will continue to maintain a high standard.
Just because of factors such as moving and changes in eating habits, the number of times Lin Qi and Zhang Xiaoxiao ate at their home in the previous life became less and less.
Now that he is revisiting the old place, Lin Qi always feels an indescribable subtle feeling in his heart.
Since the month of his rebirth, this feeling has appeared from time to time, especially when revisiting an old place like today. There will always be an illusion of a person traveling back and forth between two different time and space scenes, which will appear
Everything in front of me was extremely unreal.
"What are you looking at? Were you not full just now?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao found that Lin Qi was distracted looking at the street scene outside, and felt a little angry for no reason.
On summer nights, there are always girls wearing hot clothes passing by on the street.
Even for a woman like Zhang Xiaoxiao who does not fight or fight but is aloof and Buddhist, she still hopes deep down in her heart that her partner's attention can stay on her body longer after the lingering relationship.
There may be very few people who really like people, regardless of gender, who are truly unconventional.
There may be many people who appreciate their independence from the world, but when it comes to living together, it's hard to say.
After all, humans are still creatures that crave warmth. Although the degree of need varies from person to person, even people with low emotional needs will probably not feel happy if they face a humanoid creature that is like an ice cube and has no flesh and blood emotions all day long.
of.
Zhang Xiaoxiao has never been an iceberg, although on the surface she seems to be relatively stoic and aloof from the world, not as full of emotions and changeable as other women.
But she will also get angry because of the trivial matters in life, and occasionally she will envy others for having a life that she does not have. Naturally, she will also have her own pursuits and desires.
For example, like now, playing a little bit in Lin Qi's face.
"No, no, I'm just a little distracted!"
"Huh? Then why are you thinking about getting distracted?"
"I just suddenly thought whether we would still be sitting here like this in ten or twenty years, eating their casserole porridge together."
"Then what do you think?" At this time, probably no woman would object to hearing some sweet words in this atmosphere, even if it is just one or two meaningless empty promises.
"Then what do you want to hear?" Of course Lin Qi knew what Zhang Xiaoxiao wanted to hear, but he couldn't help but want to tease her. This was probably the boring and bad taste of middle-aged men.
If it were an ordinary young man, he would definitely talk about a lot of vows of eternal love.
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly rose several degrees, and when it reached Lin Qi's ears, it immediately became cold to the bone.
"Of course we will always eat here together in the future." Lin Qi, who was asking for trouble, realized that something was wrong and quickly and shamelessly smoothed things over.
So sometimes, this person just has a bitchy nature. He doesn't say anything when he can talk properly, and insists on making a fuss. He waits until he is scolded before coming to make up for it. After making up for it, Lin Qi quickly changed the subject.
"Have you ever thought about what kind of life you want to live in the future, what kind of job you want to do, what kind of house you want to live in, etc.?"
"Oh, didn't you say you were reborn? Shouldn't you know all this?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao rarely rolled his eyes charmingly.
"Just tell me, so I can compare what you want and what you get in reality."
In Lin Qi's memory, it seemed that he had never discussed the future with Zhang Xiaoxiao in his previous life. Their process had always been taken as a matter of course, and they were proceeding step by step.
Zhang Xiaoxiao and the couple got married right after they graduated from college. Since they didn't want to live with their parents-in-law, the couple rented a house outside for the first three years of their marriage. Later, they bought their own small house with the help of Lin Qi's family.
Since then, I have been living a tepid life.
Perhaps because Lin Qi was never the dominant one in the relationship between the two of them in his previous life, Zhang Xiaoxiao's will was more dominant in their relationship.
Although Lin Qi does not reject this model, he is actually quite curious in his heart. What is Zhang Xiaoxiao's evaluation of her and Lin Qi's life, or whether their life can meet her expectations?
Target.
After rebirth, Lin Qi had obvious advantages in age and experience. When facing Zhang Xiaoxiao, he was no longer as frightened as in his previous life. Therefore, he also wanted to take this opportunity to explore her tone and make comparisons.
Find out if her future in her previous life met her expectations.
Well, this is probably a subtle self-proof mentality of men.
It's similar to the question that many people care about: Am I great? Am I more powerful than the one before?
"Of course I hope to have more money, less things to do, and be close to home. If that's not possible, I can have less things to do and be close to home. Anyway, the salary is enough to support myself. The house doesn't matter, anyway, try not to be too big, as long as it is enough to live in.
It will save trouble to clean up this way.”
"Then what are your thoughts on marriage? For example, what is your ideal marriage status?"
"What exactly do you want to know?"
"Oh! Let's just talk! We have never talked about this topic."
To achieve his goal, Lynch once again threw his face directly to the ground, and even used the macho act of coquettishness.
To be continued...
