Assistant Lin Has Something To Say

From the moment the dinner was set, Lin Hui was struggling with a question: Should I bring a gift to He Jianshan's house for the first time?What should I bring?He searched Baidu all over but couldn't find a suitable answer, and finally decided to seek help from a familiar friend outside the venue.

The first person Lin Hui consulted was Luo Ting.When he pretended to be calm and told Luo Ting the whole thing and asked him what gift to bring, Luo Ting said clearly: "Come back, don't pretend, I can feel your excitement through the phone, want to Just laugh."

Lin Hui: "..."

"Let's get down to business, don't play tricks, just put down two bottles of liquor, and run away after sleeping. In the end, there are only two paths, either get better or resign."

Lin Hui said indifferently: "There is a third way to enter the game."

Luo Ting hates iron but not steel: "Hey—haven't you heard the saying, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger's cub!"

"Can you have some serious ideas?"

The two had been blind for a while, and Luo Ting's suggestion was to bring a bottle of red wine: it's safe, there will be no mistakes.But He Jianshan himself is a person who knows wine very well. He may have drunk more red wine than Lin Hui has eaten more salt, and this thing, the expensive Lin Hui can't afford it, and the cheap ones can't afford it. suitable.

Lin Hui turned his gaze to Anne again.Annie's aesthetics has always been very good, and she has always considered things comprehensively. She has always been in charge of the company's large and small event arrangements.Lin Huiyin deleted the key information, and sent a WeChat message asking Annie what to bring to a friend's house for dinner.Annie replied that she could send a painting, and a friend hung it at home, and every time she saw it, she would think of the person to give it to. If necessary, she could recommend a gallery.It sounds really good, but Lin Hui thinks that painting this kind of thing is a test of taste. Not to mention, people like He Jianshan must have well-matched decoration and furniture in their homes. Style is also an issue.

Neither of the two trusted friends could give good advice. Lin Hui looked at the WeChat list, wondering who to ask next.Just when Zhao Xiaoxiao came to ask him to sign, Lin Hui said casually: "Xiaoxiao, I want to ask you something, I am going to a friend's house for dinner on weekends, because it is the first time I go to his house, and I want to bring a gift, what do you think?" good?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, then thought for a few minutes, and said, "Flowers. Flowers or potted plants are fine."

"Flowers? Is it suitable?"

"It's suitable, Lin Zhu, the flowers are beautiful and easy to take care of, and your friends will feel better when they receive them." Zhao Xiaoxiao took out her phone and swiped the screen a few times, then showed it to Lin Hui, "Look, Lin Zhu, this is the flower from Shanghua. The flowers bought by my mother on Sunday, even my father said they were beautiful at home!"

In the picture is a bouquet of sunflowers, trimmed and placed in a ceramic vase. The white bottle sets off the bright and warm yellow petals.Lin Hui looked at the building block flowers next to the computer. He Jianshan assembled the flowers for him and put them on his desk. Now, it's considered reciprocal for him to send a bouquet of flowers back.What's more, he searched and found that the flower language of sunflower is "silent love". Lin recalled: It's very suitable for me——

There is no need to say anything, as long as it can bloom briefly in He Jianshan's heart, it is enough.

On Saturday night, Lin Hui went to He Jianshan's home with carefully selected sunflowers.He Jianshan lives in Jade Yunshan, a well-known high-end residential area in Jinghua City. He Jianshan lives in Building 8, 5A.Although Lin Hui had never been there, on several business trips, the driver would pick him up first and then go to Jade Cloud Mountain to pick up He Jianshan, so Lin Hui knew exactly where his home was, and even He Jianshan didn't remember it. Tell him the address, and take it for granted that Lin Hui must know.

The two made an appointment at 6 o'clock, and Lin Hui left home at 5:10.When driving, he was very calm, even when he received a special call from Luo Ting called condolences but jokes, he talked and laughed freely.When Lin Hui parked the car at the destination and got closer and closer to He Jianshan with the flowers, he felt nervous for no reason.He has been rehearsing in his mind what to say when he opens the door, but he suddenly regrets that he did not bring a bottle of wine. It is always a bit strange to send flowers alone, but he picks every sunflower by himself, and finally guides the store Tie it down with a red ribbon.After thinking wildly for a while, he finally stood at the door of 5A. Lin Hui took a deep breath, and just as he raised his hand, the door opened——

He Jianshan was wearing a dark gray T-shirt on his upper body, and sports trousers on his lower body. His hair was a little messy, and there was a little stubble on his chin. He didn't have the usual tidy feeling at all, but it was Lin Hui's imagination. Looks like home.He suddenly laughed out loud and relaxed, then he lifted up the flowers and sent them to He Jianshan: "I brought you a bunch of flowers."

When He Jianshan took the sunflowers to wake them up, Lin Hui was visiting his home.While watching it, he found it really interesting: when he was bored before, he imagined what He Jianshan's home would look like, and what style suited him; now that he really came to see it, he found that it was not far from what he had guessed.

After He Jianshan finished handling the flowers, he came over from the balcony and wiped his hands. Seeing that Lin Hui was smiling all the time, he asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

Lin thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "It's nothing, I just think your home is similar to what I imagined."

He Jianshan understood: "I've always been very boring. I just took over the company for the renovation, and I was busy, so I asked the designer to come up with several proposals, and I picked the one that was pleasing to the eye."

"I mean, this style is the kind of feeling I like." After speaking, Lin Hui felt a little strange, and quickly added, "If I had money, I would decorate like this."

He Jianshan laughed: "Come here and help me, make some soup, and we can have dinner."

"Oh, okay." Lin Hui rolled up his sleeves very naturally, and saw that He Jianshan had even prepared his apron, and muttered, "Did you prepare for me to help?"

"Who made you come at the right time." He Jianshan joked.

Vegetables were steaming on the pot, He Jianshan began to chop yams, Lin Hui took a bowl filled with water and handed it to him, and then he took the vegetables and washed them in the sink.The kitchen in He Jianshan's house is very big, even if there are a row of bowls on the countertop, it still looks in order.The two did their own thing, obviously it was the first time to cook together, but it seemed that they had practiced countless times in private, the tacit understanding was natural.

After a while, dinner will start.He Jianshan made four dishes and one soup: tomato beef, steamed grouper, spicy crab, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, vegetable tofu soup, and two cold dishes.Because it was too rich, Lin Hui was shocked when he saw it: "Can we finish eating?"

He Jianshan poured red wine for Lin Hui, said with a smile, "Drink while eating, Lao Zhao will send you back tonight, don't worry."

Lin Hui pointed to the spicy crab and asked, "Why do you make this if you can't eat spicy food?"

"The bread crab that was just delivered in the morning, I think the meat quality is good, don't you like spicy food, so I made this."

Lin Hui wondered, "How did you know how to do it?"

"There are many recipes on the Internet, just follow them, it's not difficult."

Lin Hui was speechless for a moment: All right, this is probably talent, smart people can do everything very quickly.

This meal took more than two hours.They chatted most of the time, talking about everything, all over the world, news gossip, their own affairs, other people's affairs.Basically, it was Lin Hui who was talking. He even put down his chopsticks when he was getting excited, and he had to add hand gestures to enjoy himself; while He Jianshan kept smiling at him, and sometimes added when Lin Hui stopped. He just said something, or he would answer whatever Lin Hui asked. He seemed to prefer listening to Lin Hui rather than chatting.

Maybe it was because he drank some wine, Lin Hui felt a little ecstatic, but also felt very strange.

In this dinner, he is the only protagonist.He deeply felt that He Jianshan's gaze was always around him, and all the attention was on him, which made Lin Hui feel excited.They jumped out of Wanzhu's steel and concrete framework, and briefly left behind the relationship between superiors and subordinates, as if they had become two people who had just met, sat down and had a drink together by fate, and the world was far away behind them, leaving only carefree and wanton .

Lin recalled that it turned out that two people can really eat for a long time.
