God said I would meet you

The next day, the New Year, there was a lot of light snow in the sky.

It was rare for Lin Jinyu to get up at a normal time. After breakfast, she washed up and dressed up. She casually put on a pair of white slacks, a sweater and a plaid bread jacket, and was ready to go out for an appointment.

Zhang Xinli didn't have to go to work today. He watched the other party change his clothes and was about to go out in no time. He called Lin Jinyu to stop and said, "Take the medicine first."

Lin Jinyu put on her shoes, stomped her feet, and instead of going back to the room to get the medicine, she turned her head and said, "I took it before going to bed, but I won't take it today. It's unlucky to take medicine in the middle of the New Year."

New year and new weather, Lin Jinyu's parents have been scaring him since he was a child, New Year can't be like this, can't be like that, although Lin Jinyu understands intellectually that it's all feudal superstition, but he is more or less affected by it, and wants to make it auspicious.

People always have the spirit of Ah Q. It seems that as long as the pointer points to twelve o'clock, it can be regarded as the next day. I don't even think about it. According to the normal hours, the time is far from here. Lin Jinyu took the medicine yesterday at five o'clock in the afternoon. Today's medicine was taken at one o'clock in the middle of the night, and the difference was only eight hours, but he felt good and the problem was not serious.

Zhang Xinli came over and handed him the hat. Lin Jinyu was in a good mood when he thought that he could finally resign. He took the hat and put it on. The other party reacted and said "Bye", turned around and went out, leaving Zhang Xinli standing at the door alone, savoring the residual warmth on his lips.

……

Ning Sheng Kaiyue's restaurant is on the Bund, it's very famous, it's not close to here.

Lin Jinyu was still thinking about whether to take the subway or take the bus, but he hadn't made a decision yet, and when he got downstairs, he saw the black Maybach, which wanted to be low-key but couldn't be low-key, parked on the temporary parking belt at the entrance of the community, waiting he.

?

What's the matter? Although Lin Jinyu is a dawdle king, he doesn't dare to be late for this kind of work-related dinner. There is still more than an hour before the time they agreed on. Why is this car parked here like a prophet?

He didn't pay attention to Ning Shengkai's license plate number before, and now he wasn't sure if the license plate belonged to him. Lin Jinyu stood still and glanced at the window, trying to find out who was sitting inside.

The co-pilot and the rear row were tightly blocked by electric curtains. Lin Jinyu poked her head around for a while without looking at anything. She was a little embarrassed and was about to leave. At this moment, the door of the driver's seat was pushed open. , a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a straight rocker, got down from the cab, spread a black umbrella over his head, and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, is this Xiao Fan?"

"Yes." Lin Jinyu got used to the name after many days of talking and drinking. He looked at the strange middle-aged man in front of him. Unlike his driver, Uncle Zhao, the man had a very obvious It has a professional atmosphere, and it can be seen at a glance that it has been professionally trained to drive for people.

The other party said very politely: "Boss Ning has something to do, let me pick you up first."

Lin Jinyu originally wanted to refuse, but Ning Shengkai would most likely be his future boss. This kind of kindness will make the owner lose face if he refuses. It's better to get in the car, anyway, the drivers are here, so there is no reason for people to make a trip for nothing.

Thinking of this, Lin Jinyu thanked her, opened the back door and got in.

When the engine started, the Stereo Rotary Speaker of the Sound of Berlin was shining with a faint blue aperture. The light brown leather seat fit the curve of the human body very well. Watch movies on TV.

"Is it cold, do you need to drive higher?" The driver adjusted the wind direction of the air conditioner, probably guessing that most people of Lin Jinyu's age have actually come into contact with a car of this price for the first time, and he is afraid that he will be like a countryman entering the city. I was embarrassed, so I kindly reminded that there is a temperature-controlled cup holder in the back seat, and asked Lin Jinyu if he would like to drink or drink, and popularized the series of facilities such as wireless charging, champagne holder, and told him that the remote control is in the box behind the temperature-controlled cup facility. In the end, I asked if I wanted to listen to the song.

"No, just drive it." Lin Jinyu is no stranger to these configurations. His father has also bought several cars, old and new, with various configurations, although his father, like him, doesn't like Maybach very much. Lin Jinyu has seen this kind of business-oriented, but large and small functions.

The driver thought it was his first time riding in such an expensive car, so he was cautious, and he didn't dare to relax, eat and drink, but he was worthy of being a professional, very knowledgeable, so he didn't say anything, and drove straight to the Bund according to Lin Jinyu's intention.

The road is not short. Lin Jinyu looked at the familiar scenery outside the window and retreated in front of her eyes. Looking at the national flags fluttering on the street lamps and the red lanterns full of New Year's atmosphere at the store entrances on both sides of the street, she felt a little bored, so she casually searched for topics Chat with the driver and ask him if he has been driving for Ning Shengkai.

"Yes," the driver said, "I have been driving for seven or eight years, and Mr. Ning is a very nice person."

Lin Jinyu thought to herself: I didn't ask how others were doing, and said, "Really, unfortunately, I haven't met you before."

The driver replied: "Mr. Ning doesn't socialize. He will drive by himself when he is taking a break. It's not normal."

No wonder... Yesterday when Lin Jinyu was hitchhiking, she was still complaining in her heart that no boss would drive a Maybach himself these days. It turned out to be the case, maybe the boss went to the nightclub to pick up girls and didn't want to be followed.

Afterwards, they chatted about some other things, and when they arrived at the place, the driver stopped the car, and Lin Jinyu sat in the back seat, waiting for him to open the car door very naturally, and walked out with a bow.

At this time, there is still some time before the meal time, Ning Shengkai has not arrived yet, the entrance of the restaurant is a bit hidden, it is not easy to find, the driver will lead the way in front, and the service will take him to the place, please sit down and wait for a while, Ning I should be there soon after I'm busy.

This is an elegant western restaurant with modern decoration. Every table is filled with guests who have made reservations, but there is no noise. The waiter in the center of the hall is playing a soothing violin music.

Lin Jinyu was led by the waiter to the reserved seat. Turning her head through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, she could overlook the splendid river view. The boats on the river came and went like small fishes, dotted with white snowflakes, and the Oriental Pearl Tower towered majestically.

Lin Jinyu politely declined the menu handed over by the waiter, and didn't order on his own. He took advantage of the 10 minutes of waiting for Ning Shengkai to turn on his phone, listened to the violin music and watched the scenery, and at the same time sent Zhang Xinli a location.

There was a quick reply: Arrived?What was talked about?

Lin Jinyu replied: No talk, Ning Shengkai hasn't arrived yet.

Zhang Xinli said: You are still late for the appointment, you are not a good person.

No, Lin Jinyu said impartially: I was the one who arrived early, and he was very kind and arranged someone to pick him up.

This time, the frequency of replying to messages slowed down. Lin Jinyu waited for a long time, but Zhang Xinli only replied with an "oh".

Before Zhang Xinli asked him to explain the arrangements to him, it would be best to broadcast live. Lin Jinyu chatted with him, reporting the situation here, talking about the decoration of the restaurant, the waiter playing the piano, and the display behind the glass door in a corner of the restaurant. There are endless rows of wine cabinets, and by the way, I lament the evils of capitalism. The wages of the waiters in the gossip must be several times higher than those of the positions I applied for before.

Zhang Xinli saw that he was sending messages, but didn't reply. Lin Jinyu had just finished talking, and saw a figure walking towards here not far away. Ning Shengkai finally arrived.

Lin Jinyu finally replied: People are here, it's impolite to look at your phone while eating, I'll talk to you later.

"Waiting for a long time?" Ning Chengkai sat down, took off the expensive black coat covered with snow, and said, "I'll ask the driver to pick you up, you can leave later."

Lin Jinyu locked her phone, put it on the table, propped her face, and said, "You didn't tell me, how would I know."

"That's right," Ning Shengkai said, "I forgot, I don't have your contact information."

The waiter in uniform brought a heavy menu again, Ning Shengkai motioned to hand it to Lin Jinyu, and said, "This restaurant serves French cuisine, and the taste is not bad. You can see what you like and order it yourself."

How could a guest have the nerve to order before the host, Lin Jinyu said: "No, you go first, the guest can do whatever he wants, you can see which ones are suitable, and I will refer to yours."

"It's okay." Ning Shengkai liked his politeness, and said, "You can order whatever you like."

After some concessions, Ning Shengkai insisted that he go first, the owner's politeness was only to continue, Lin Jinyu no longer refused, he casually opened the menu without the slightest embarrassment, looked at the waiter, asked a few words and ordered his own.

Ning Shengkai thought that Lin Jinyu came from a small village in Dashan, Sichuan. Although he had a good education, he thought it was his first visit to this kind of place, so he didn't know much. He wanted to explain it to him thoughtfully after he flipped through the menu at a loss. All kinds of dishes, but who knows that Lin Jinyu never gave him this chance.

He flipped through the menu as if flipping through his own memo book, completely ignoring the fool's set meal, and matching his favorite dishes among the dishes, and even the order of ordering was in accordance with the formal dining order of French cuisine. Then the soup, then the side dishes, and finally the main dishes and desserts, and those obscure names are easy to read.

This surprised Ning Shengkai. After Lin Jinyu finished playing, he handed him the menu and asked him to read it. Ning Shengkai took it, but didn't read it. He only ordered a few words for his own. No, as long as there are fruits, everything else is the same as Lin Jinyu.

This is not over yet, after the menu is the water bill, this restaurant has a thick stack of water bills, which are more solid than the menu, Lin Jinyu knew what was probably inside, so she didn't take it, and signaled to Ning Shengkai.

Drinks are more difficult than food. The prices of various red wines vary from RMB [-] to [-] to RMB [-]. As a guest, it's really hard to decide. It's better for Ning Chengkai to decide.

Ning Chengkai gave a few instructions, ordered aperitifs and waited for a bunch, and after the waiter had retreated, he asked Lin Jinyu, "Someone brought you here before?"

Otherwise it really doesn't make sense.

Lin Jinyu has indeed been here. Apart from the newly opened ones on the Bund, he has been to almost all the restaurants with a bit of history. He is no stranger to French food. He ordered it just now and didn't think too much about it. : "Uh...well, I came here once, I wanted to see the world, that one came here by himself after saving money."

It's unlikely that they are so familiar after coming here once, Ning Chengkai is a little unbelievable, but it's hard to say clearly, after all, although it is indeed possible that another benefactor brought Xiaofan here, it is a bit embarrassing to mention it clearly.

He didn't ask any more, the pre-dinner bread came out, Lin Jinyu took the plate, cut it apart skillfully, dipped it in butter, and tore it with his hands to eat.

Ning Chengkai watched him silently while eating, Lin Jinyu didn't look like the one who had only been here once or twice, he could easily distinguish the purpose of each of the pile of tableware in front of him, and knew which one was bread Plate, which is the main dish, and which is the soup base.

The habit became natural, Lin Jinyu didn't realize it, and ate her own food.

His main task for this meal was to inquire about work, if he was hired, which post he would be in, how about his vacation, and whether he could fight for a little more in terms of salary, but until the main course was served, Ning Shengkai was very satisfied. None of this was mentioned.

Lin Jinyu didn't want to take the initiative to ask, but if she waited any longer, she might not be able to wait for Ning Chengkai to speak after the meal, so she couldn't help but said: "Mr. Ning, we haven't talked about what we should talk about today. "

Ning Chengkai swallowed the food in his mouth first, and then said: "What are you talking about?" He said: "Today is Chinese New Year, let's go to watch the fireworks together tonight?"

There were no fireworks in downtown Shanghai this year, and it took a long time to drive to the suburbs to watch the fireworks. Lin Jinyu finished eating, put the knife and fork back in place, and said, "I mean work, you won't go back on your word, will I?" I skipped work today, so don't play tricks on me."

Ning Chengkai raised his eyebrows: "I won't play with you."

Lin Jinyu looked at him, and Ning Shengkai went on to say, "It's just a secretarial job, there's nothing to talk about, I usually help me with the documents, with two days off a week, it's all calculated according to legal holidays, I've given the salary range, you see Appropriate opening conditions are enough, that's it, there is nothing to talk about."

That's it?This condition was unexpectedly generous. Lin Jinyu felt that it was so generous that it made people flustered, and repeatedly confirmed: "There are no other conditions or assessments? You are not kidding me."

He originally thought that Ning Shengkai invited him to dinner mainly to talk about work. After all, no matter how big the company is, recruiting people is not a trivial matter. The interview in the car was most likely a joke. There are still many details that need to be negotiated. This... why does it feel like a drunkard's intention is not to drink.

"No." Ning Shengkai put the dessert he ordered in front of him, and said, "I didn't tell you that in the car, but I already had an interview."

"I thought you were joking," Lin Jinyu frowned unconsciously, and said incredulously, "There is no assessment and no additional conditions. Why on earth did you offer me this job?"

There are many interpretations of additional conditions. Ning Shengkai took a sip of his wine, wiped his mouth and hands with a towel, then looked up at him and said, "You want to know?"
