Mr. Li, you are out of favor

Qiao Shoujun had just finished speaking, and soon it was his turn to introduce himself. He said a few words in English briefly, and introduced Gao Qingman who was sitting next to him.

What really surprised Gao Qingman was that he actually opened a well-known shop in his own city, but because it was relatively small and the people involved were mainly students, so people like Gao Qingman Few of those who prefer the convenience of fast food service know much about it.

Although this is the case, it is said that Qiao Shoujun's coffee shop business is quite good.

"I am actually honored to drink the coffee made by the owner of the coffee shop directly. Sansheng is lucky!"

Speaking of which, Gao Qingman never thought that the former first-class academic master would suddenly turn around and open some coffee shop one day. After all, the contrast is so great that it is unbelievable.

"I'll take you to my shop when I get back to China, and you can come over whenever you want to drink."

Taking advantage of Gao Qingman's joke, Qiao Shoujun answered very smoothly, which was also different from the not-so-talkative Xueba in his memory.

When he was in school, he never said a word to himself, and more often he saw himself in a tense state, after all, he was the only one in the school who could compete with him for No.1.

What's more, she was a woman. It is said that at that time, Qiao Shoujun could curse at her picture every day, causing her academic performance to drop rapidly.

Thinking about the rumors back then, and then turning to look at the man sitting next to him at the moment, Gao Qingman couldn't help but sigh, how could time change people so much?
"Then it's done, I'll give you a cheaper price!"

"Haha, come and drink whenever you want, and I'll give you a free order!"

Amused by her "thrifty and frugal" appearance, Qiao Shoujun joked.

The self-introduction was over soon, and it was time for everyone to visit and pick coffee in the coffee garden.

I have only seen the appearance of coffee trees in photos, but when I actually went to the place and looked at the trees of different heights, Gao Qingman knew that different coffees can be subdivided into such shapes.

The outdoor sunlight was a bit overwhelming. Gao Qingman squinted his eyes slightly, squatting down to caress those green leaves. The broad leaves look very tropical forest. According to the introduction of the team leader, coffee, In fact, it is not produced on the tree.

Some of these plants look tall, while others look very short. They are bushes!

"So it is."

Gao Qingman nodded, received new knowledge, and whispered to the coffee leaves.

"Did you know that these beans are actually twins?"

Qiao Shoujun followed her the whole time, taking into account all her surprise and approval, curiosity and earnestness. After the person in front finished explaining, he also squatted down with her, pointing to a bunch of coffee beans that had already grown.

"Twins? Why?"

Looking at the round thing in the shape of a small bunch of grapes in front of him, Gao Qingman felt novelty again.

"Look."

Guessing that she must not know, Qiao Shoujun showed a confident smile on his face, casually reached out and picked off a red coffee bean, and broke it open with his bare hands for her to see.

The red coffee beans were like a big cherry, and they were easily broken open, revealing the sticky liquid inside and two gray beans wrapped in the middle facing each other.

"Huh? Why is that?"

Curiously, he reached out and touched the translucent film wrapped with beans in the middle of the mucus. Gao Qingman saw these things for the first time, and felt very novel.

"Because coffee beans need to be roasted and ground before they can be brewed. Have you ever seen the process of roasting coffee beans? There will be some strange sounds, crackling, very similar to the feeling of popcorn."

Qiao Shoujun was very patient, explaining to the coffee idiot Gao Qingman little by little, and he was far away from the main force before he knew it.

"Oh, so coffee beans are berries?"

Gao Qingman pondered in his head for a long time, and under the impression that the bushes should be mostly berries, so he asked a question.

"Uh... Coffee beans are strictly speaking, the seeds and berries of coffee bushes... maybe."

This stumped Qiao Shoujun. He only paid attention to things related to coffee beans, and never thought about whether it was a kind of berry.

The two chatted for a while, then looked up and found that the large army had gone to another row that was almost out of sight, and hurried to catch up.

"Next, I will show you several varieties of coffee, including this one, which was introduced from Bulgaria. After several generations of improvement..."

The narrator wearing a big-brimmed hat kept chattering. At the beginning, he was talking about some basic coffee-related knowledge. Later, he talked about things like classification. Gao Qingman didn’t understand, and of course he didn’t have to It is necessary to understand, so I squatted down and continued to study the coffee bush curiously.

Some shrubs are relatively short, probably only at the knee level, or to the waist, without the structure of branches.

But some are taller than a human being, about the same size as a tree, and can even be used as shade.

These two kinds were planted in different places, and they were neatly arranged in row after row. It was obvious that they must be two different varieties.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly felt that someone was holding my hand, and I couldn't help but walk in a certain direction.

"Eh? What are you going to do?"

Gao Qingman was still in a daze a second ago, but was suddenly held by someone and had no time to react, so he could only stare at the other person in a daze, with an innocent face.

"Going indoors for coffee!"

Qiao Shoujun turned his head, and his smile was particularly warm under the sun, with a warm male feeling that is very popular nowadays.

Follow the big troops back indoors, this time it is no longer the hall just now, but replaced by a relatively small place with many long tables.

It can be seen that this is a venue specially prepared for this club.

Gao Qingman, who was completely a noob, was dragged by Qiao Shoujun all the way to a certain table. There were several siphon pots, alcohol lamps, glass jars containing coffee beans, and other things she didn't know at all.

"What is this for?"

Seeing that he was already skillfully weighing the coffee beans, Gao Qingman reached out for a small pot-shaped object on the table in front of him. It was a strange device that looked like a balance.

"Belgian royal pot, this kind of coffee pot is generally more suitable for brewing some coffee with a relatively lighter taste, because its special balancing device will make the heating time shorter."

Still explaining patiently, although Gao Qingman didn't fully understand it, he basically understood what it meant. He was staring at the thing in front of him miraculously, opened the lid of one of the pots, and fiddled with the straw inside.

"By the way, why did you suddenly want to open a coffee shop?"

Gao Qingman suddenly thought of this. In fact, he wanted to ask when he was outside, but he never said it.

"It wasn't sudden at all. The woman I've always liked loves drinking coffee the most. I always remember that her dream was to open a coffee shop with real sentimentality. So later, I helped her realize her dream."

When Qiao Shoujun was talking, the movements of his hands never stopped. Seeing him skillfully lighting the fire and pouring water, Gao Qingman unconsciously had a smile on his lips.

It turns out that a man who usually doesn't look friendly at all can also become very gentle and meticulous because of true love.

"So, are you married?"

Without thinking too much, Gao Qingman asked casually, but saw Qiao Shoujun stop the movement of his hands, and turned to look at himself, as if a little surprised and a little embarrassed at the same time.

"Uh... maybe soon!"

There was an embarrassing silence for a long time, and then I saw a smile on his face, but I don't know if it was an illusion, but there was a lot of indescribable sadness in this smile.

"Hehe, then congratulations."

During Qiao Shoujun's silence, Gao Qingman really almost apologized. Fortunately, he was relieved when he said something that wasn't very sad.

After all, he is the manager of the coffee shop and has a barista qualification certificate. In the blink of an eye, a cup of fragrant coffee has been prepared. Seeing the steaming coffee being pushed in front of him, Gao Qingman There is even an inexplicable respect in my heart.

I didn't think about it carefully before, but I just realized today that there are so many specialties in a simple cup of coffee.

On the other side, Li Sheng, who was sitting in the car silently after finishing dealing with the affairs of the branch company, listened to his subordinate's report, and when he heard that Gao Qingman was participating in club activities with the man who came over from the previous plane, his face instantly relaxed. down.

It can be seen that he is already very unhappy.

"Isn't she here to discuss business?"

Li Sheng frowned slightly, although he didn't say it out loud, but the aura around him already proved his mood at the moment.

"This... the specific internal arrangement of the company is not very clear to us, but usually, inspections and other activities are arranged in the morning, so that the first round of negotiations can be carried out in the evening, and the second round of negotiation in the next morning. round, and then determine the signing date..."

Hearing that his boss was asking questions, and his expression was very ugly, the secretary who was already a little nervous became even more panicked, and he faltered a few words, seeing that the other party's face was getting darker, he quickly shut up .

Think about it too, as the president of a group, how could he not know the normal negotiation process, the sentence just now was not a question at all!
"Are you planning to go directly there?"

Having realized his mistake, the secretary hastily continued to ask questions.

"..."

Li Sheng has completely stopped talking at this moment, he glanced coldly at the secretary, not knowing what he was thinking, turned his head and looked out the window without making a sound.

"Li, President Li?"

Seeing that he didn't say a word, the little secretary was almost scared to death, and could only call out his name over and over again in a daze.

There was a long silence in the car, and after a long time, the little secretary felt that his mind was about to explode, only then did he see Li Sheng turning his head again, still looking at him blankly, and then looked at the steering wheel.

"Then, I'm off."
