033

Lu Mengxin didn't stay in his hometown after the New Year, his cousin Lu Mengbin invited him to stay in the capital for two nights.

So, on the second day of the first lunar month, the two packed their luggage and got on Lu Mengbin's golf car, heading towards the capital.

Lu Mengbin opened a tea restaurant in Beijing, which is located in the downtown area of ​​the Third Ring Road. Although it is the season of the twelfth lunar month, the business is very good.

Lu Mengxin listened to his brief introduction. This restaurant has been open for several years. From being unknown at the beginning to now being a little famous in the elite circle of the capital, it has experienced many twists and turns.

The restaurant opens at 10 o'clock every day. It mainly serves Chinese meals for lunch and dinner, and serves coffee, tea and some western desserts in the afternoon.

It was the first time Lu Mengxin walked into this restaurant named "Liu Nian", and was really taken aback by the scene inside.

The store door on the first floor and the ground floor is not big, but there are many people inside.

In addition to the waiters and waiters, chefs, and revenue clerks, sitting in the office on the second floor of the restaurant, the logistics staff include planners, public relations teams, and business leaders...

Lu Mengxin saw a group of people waiting to work in full swing, a word suddenly flashed in his mind: Although a sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Lu Mengbin put one hand on his shoulder, smiled smugly, and said happily: "How is it? My restaurant is pretty good, right?"

Lu Mengxin hurriedly said: "It's not bad, it's beyond my expectation." He couldn't help admiring the cousin in front of him, "I can't tell, you're such a dignified person."

Lu Mengbin naturally liked his compliments very much, so he couldn't help but proudly said: "Small, I don't need anything now, but I need a helper." After speaking, he glanced at this cousin, "If you don't mind, come and help me together Help me? Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly in terms of salary..."

Lu Mengxin didn't expect that his cousin asked him to visit the restaurant because of this, his face blushed, and he muttered: "This, this is not very good." He thought for a long time, and replied: "I am not ready to leave Jiangcheng yet. , and I'm doing a pretty good job..."

Seeing that he was persistent, Lu Mengbin finally stopped pushing, changed the subject, and introduced the beautiful mountains and waters of the capital to him.

After the New Year, Lu Mengxin did not stay in the capital for long, and bought a train ticket one day in advance to return to Jiangcheng.

On the day of parting, Lu Mengbin personally sent him to the station.

The two brothers haven't seen each other for more than a year, and it's been another year since they met this time. Lu Mengbin couldn't help but sigh: "You will be 29 after the Chinese New Year, and you're all grown men. It's time to think about personal issues..."

Lu Mengxin hung her head and said nothing, after a long time, she said: "I want to do my job well first, other things... don't worry."

Lu Mengbin retorted: "What stupid things are you talking about? When a male college is married, he will start a family first and then start a career. Once he finds someone and settles down, the work will naturally go smoothly."

Lu Mengxin didn't speak, and there was a moment of silence between the two.

In the end, it was Lu Mengbin who said first: "It's almost time, go in and check the tickets." He patted his cousin on the shoulder, his eyes flushed slightly, "If you need help with anything, come to Beijing to find me, and Beijing and Jiangcheng are not far away."

Lu Mengxin gave a "hmm", picked up her luggage and walked towards the ticket gate, her thin figure disappeared at the end of the crowd.

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon when Lu Mengxin returned to Jiangcheng.

The speeding bullet train stopped at Jiangcheng Station, he got off the train, walked out of the ticket gate, stopped a taxi and got on it.

The master enthusiastically loaded his suitcase into the car, then turned his head and asked him, "Young man, where are you going?"

Holding the bunch of metal keys in his hand, Lu Mengxin hesitated for a moment, "Jingshan Garden."

"Okay!" The master hurriedly responded when he heard the place name.

Jingshan Garden is located in the center of Jiangcheng City. It is a newly developed building last year. The occupancy rate is not high. However, everyone in Jiangcheng City knows that in the downtown area where every inch of land is expensive, people in Jingshan Garden can afford to live. Most of them are either rich or expensive.

He glanced at the rearview mirror slightly, and then took another look at this handsome young man, feeling puzzled.

The car arrived at the destination very quickly, Lu Mengxin got out of the car, took out a card of Grandpa Mao from his wallet and handed it to the master, carrying the suitcase into Jingshan Garden.

There is a surveillance camera at the main entrance of the complex. When the security guard saw a young man approaching, he didn't even open the gate. He directly took the walkie-talkie and said to the people outside the gate: "Everyone who enters the gate must make an appointment to register, you? Who do you want?"

Lu Mengxin unhurriedly took out the key from his pocket, shook the probe, and said seriously: "I am a resident on the 6th floor of Building C. I just moved in today. Is there any problem?"

The security guard took a closer look, and it really was the key of the community. He hurriedly opened the door and said sincerely: "Sorry, I misunderstood you..." As he said that, he was about to go up to pick up Lu Mengxin's luggage, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by him. Open.

"No, thank you! I'll do it myself." Lu Mengxin was not ready to accept his apology, and walked into the community with his suitcase.

He went around twice, and finally found the gate of Building C.

Lu Mengxin walked in familiarly, the electronic key beeped twice on the door, and the door opened in response.

Immediately afterwards, he entered the door, pressed the elevator switch, and pushed the suitcase into the door.

The elevator door closed slowly, Lu Mengxin's heart was beating wildly.

With a hint of excitement and anticipation, he wanted to see what kind of apartment "Sheng Hui" had arranged for him.

Not long after, the elevator door opened, and Lu Mengxin couldn't help showing a surprised expression when he saw the scene in the room.

It turns out that the elevator here is a one-family apartment on the first floor. As soon as the door is opened, the luxuriously decorated living room greets you.

Looking at the key card in his hand, he knew in his heart that the key card corresponding to each resident here can only reach the floor where he lives.

Lu Mengxin stepped in cautiously, looking at the house carefully.

The house as a whole is decorated in European style, with huge crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, emitting dazzling light; the living room is equipped with coffee tables, sofas, and wine cabinets; Everything outside the room; matching teapots and cups are placed on the coffee table and wine cabinet, as well as the growing bergamot lotus.

Lu Mengxin looked back and forth twice, thinking: the owner of the house must have put a lot of effort into decorating the house.

Except for the living room, the dining room, bedroom, and study room have all been decorated in the same luxurious European style.

Lu Mengxin was lying on that 1.8-meter big bed, feeling the soft Simmons mattress and the warm quilt, and felt unreal like a dream.

Once living in this house, Lu Mengxin played the role of the master and began to prepare for his exquisite life.

He opened the refrigerator, and there were many ingredients such as vegetables, fruits and vegetables in it.Lu Mengxin picked two of them, washed them, cut them up, rolled up his sleeves and cooked himself a rather sumptuous dinner.

After eating, he was not in a hurry to fall asleep. He went into the bathroom, turned on the heating and hot water, and put a whole tub of hot water for himself.After sitting in the car all afternoon, taking a bath was just enough to relieve his fatigue.

After taking a hot shower, Lu Mengxin stepped into the bathtub. The hot water was just full to his chest. He looked around and realized that the bathtub was too big, and it was more than enough for one more person to lie on.

Thinking of this, Lu Mengxin sat on the edge of the bathtub and took a nap, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up again, it was already late at night.

The water in the bathtub was already cold, Lu Mengxin woke up with a shiver, and immediately felt a chill.

He hurriedly got up and wiped himself off, put on his bathrobe and went out, fell headfirst onto the bed, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Lu Mengxin showed up at the door of Gao Jinyang's office on time.

Before Gao Jinyang appeared, Zheng Wenting and Wen Xianting came first.

When the two saw him, they looked at each other and smiled. Wen Xianting approached first and waved hello, "Happy New Year, Lu Zhu."

Lu Mengxin didn't seem to be used to the new title, and it took him two seconds to recover. The other party was talking to him, and he replied, "Morning, Wen Zhu."

Wen Xianting smiled and asked him, "How did you rest last night? Didn't you sleep well?"

Lu Mengxin wiped his face, trying to refresh himself, "No, nothing, I slept well."

Wen Xianting added: "That's right... the new owner of the new house, the first day they move in, it's understandable that they will inevitably be excited."

Lu Mengxin only felt a burst of heat on his face, and Wen Xianting's words seemed to have another meaning in his ears.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the elevator door opened with a "ding--", and Gao Jinyang walked out from the door.

Lu Mengxin turned his head, Wen Xianting also turned and stepped forward, "Boss, Happy New Year."

A year later, Gao Jinyang seemed to be rounder, he was still wearing a straight suit, his cheeks were slightly plump, and his pair of black and bright eyes were the same as before.

Gao Jinyang glanced at Lu Mengxin, and then looked away for a second. When he passed by him, there was no expression on his face.

Lu Mengxin followed Wen Xianting into the office, Gao Jinyang had already sat down, Zheng Wenting brought the brewed coffee to him, and walked out slowly.

"There was a routine morning meeting at [-]:[-] this morning, and at [-]:[-] noon, Zhang Ju was invited to have dinner together, and the venue was set at Jinding Mountain Garden in Phoenix Mountain; at [-]:[-] p.m., the plane went to Mingcheng, and several high-level officials had already made an appointment. Let's talk about the previous acquisition case in detail..." Wen Xianting put away his unscrupulous appearance when it was time to work, and reported to Gao Jinyang respectfully.

Lu Mengxin stood beside him, trying to concentrate on listening to his report, but she had a cold last night, and felt a headache and itchy nose early in the morning.

He listened intently for a long time with bated breath, but in the end he still couldn't figure it out. Wen Xianting's rambling report sounded like a fantasy to Lu Mengxin.

When he was bored, Lu Mengxin stared blankly for a while, his nose seemed to itch even more when he was distracted, he had a premonition that something was wrong, and he couldn't hold back in the next second, "Ah-choo—" and slapped it heavily.

The two people in the office were stunned, Wen Xianting stopped talking and glanced at him, Gao Jinyang also turned to look at him, his eyes full of doubts.

Lu Mengxin felt a burst of embarrassment, her ears turned red, and explained: "I, I have a cold..."

Wen Xianting smiled lightly, and asked him: "Is it okay? Just go make a cup of granule and drink it later."

Lu Mengxin waved his hand, "No need, just taking a cold bath and catching the cold, it's not a big deal." Although he didn't turn his head, he could feel Gao Jinyang's gaze, and a chill ran down his back, and said to Wen Xianting: "You , you continue."

Wen Xianting took a look at him, paused for two seconds, and continued to report.

Not long after, Wen Xianting finished his work report, and Gao Jinyang ordered him slightly after hearing this: "Go back and get ready. You don't have to follow me when you go on a business trip tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Wen Xianting knew it well at the moment, raised the corners of his lips and smiled silently, and answered after a while: "Okay, then I'll go down first." After speaking, he opened the door and left without looking back.

After leaving the door, Zheng Wenting couldn't help being gossipy, and asked curiously, "Hey... did the boss say anything? How did you arrange where that kid will go?"

Wen Xianting glanced at her, "Are you still afraid that he will steal your job?" He showed a frivolous look at Zheng Wenting, and shamelessly approached her with a smile: "Kiss me first, and I'll tell you later. "

"Fuck you!" Zheng Wenting slapped him on the cheek lightly, "Boss really didn't say anything?"

Wen Xianting recalled what Gao Jinyang said in the office before, "It can be said that he said it, or he didn't say it."

"What and what?" Zheng Wenting gave him a blank stare, and sat down heavily, "Don't fool me if you don't want to say it."

Wen Xianting only replied, "What are you worried about, that kid is here... We have plenty of fun to watch."
