The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   Chapter 259, your price is too expensive, I can't afford it (please subscribe!)

   The Momei Pavilion is very large. In addition to the mahogany tables and chairs, there are also matching sofas and 8 screens.

   Zhang Xuan's first impression when he walked in was the antique flavor, which was completely different from the modern decoration outside. It was impossible to see that this was a western restaurant.

  I took a look at the fabric sofa, which is large and comfortable, suitable for exercise. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but wonder, is this arrangement because You Huiyun is trying to please the people behind her?

   But the next second, he denied it again.

  You Huiyun is not a fool and will not be so blatant.

  Yuan Lan took his seat, and Zhang Xuan sat on the side. The waiter followed up to pour tea and order.

   Zhang Xuan found that this Yamisi restaurant is a bit interesting. . . No matter whether the manager of the living room or the waiter, they are all tall and tall, and their faces are all above the standard.

  Some can even be called beautiful.

   Yuan Lan was generous and ordered French foie gras, French baked snails, French scallops and French onion soup.

   Zhang Xuan is not particularly fond of fancy western food. As an authentic foodie, steak is the most solid and filling.

  After ordering the dishes, the two started chatting.

  Yuan Lan seems to be particularly interested in Zhang Xuan's childhood experiences, and it takes more than ten minutes to talk about this topic.

  The food is served, what appetizers, soups, hot appetizers...

  Hey, Zhang Xuan didn't want to touch it at all, but in order to save Yuan Lan's face, he was reluctantly very happy.

   But then again, eating western food is like squeezing toothpaste, it hurts to eat.

   But it tasted really good, which made his resentment melt a lot.

   While eating and chatting, the two talked, and the topic came to Yuan Lan.

  Yuan Lan mainly introduced the experience, what he saw and heard while studying in Europe.

   Zhang Xuan asked her: "The outside world is so colorful, why did you choose to return to China?"

  Yuan Lan thought for a few seconds and said, "Although I have stayed in Europe for several years, no matter where I go, I am always an outsider.

   I felt like I couldn't fit in with them, and they couldn't accept me. "

   Zhang Xuan raised his glass: "Just for this, you are better than most people. Come, I toast you with this cup."

   Yuan Lan was surprised, "Do you have prejudice against international students?"

   Zhang Xuan shook his head: "I have no prejudice against international students. In these days, gods can't help people, and people can't help themselves.

   Nowadays, China is indeed not as developed as Western countries. It is understandable that some international students choose to stay there.

   But those who can withstand the temptation to return to China are heroes and deserve admiration. "

  Yuan Lan smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I didn't have a good time outside, so I chose to go back to China."

   Zhang Xuan followed with a smile: "That's someone who has drank foreign ink."

   looked at each other and smiled, the two toasted, touched each other, and did it.

   After taking a sip of wine, Yuan Lan got up and said apologetically, "I'll go wash my hands."

   "Please." Zhang Xuan glanced, lowered his head and continued to deal with the steak.

  Opening and closing the door, Yuan Lan turned around and walked a few steps. As expected, he met an acquaintance at the corner.

   At this moment, You Huiyun was whispering something to a foreman. When she saw Yuan Lan, she immediately waved her hand and told the foreman to go first.

  You Huiyun smiled and said, "I heard that you are here, I just wanted to go to the box to say hello, but I didn't expect you to come out."

   Yuan Lan replied, "Xiaojing said you were resting upstairs, and I didn't bother you at that time."

  You Huiyun said: "I had a major operation this afternoon, and I was a little sleepy. When I came back, I squatted upstairs for a while."

  Yuan Lan walked over and circled You Huiyun for half a circle, complimenting, "Where did you buy these new clothes? It looks so good on you."

  You Huiyun glanced down at herself: "This is an old dress, but I haven't worn it much before."

   Then she glanced at Yuan Lan and stopped on the handbag: "Are you going?"

  Yuan Lan shook the eldest brother in his hand and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, I have to leave first in an emergency."

  You Huiyun asked: "Didn't you say you are entertaining friends, how about your friends? Just leave it alone?"

   Yuan Lan said: "He is in the box. I just wanted to ask you to help me take care of him, and I will arrange someone to help me take him back.

   I didn't expect to meet you here, well, it saves me from going upstairs to disturb you. "

  You Huiyun's gaze stayed on her face for a second and agreed.

   After Yuan Lan got the exact reply, he returned to the box and said to Zhang Xuan:

   "Great writer, I just received the news that there is trouble over there at the night market, I have to go back and have a look.

  I’m sorry today, I have to go first, I’ll set up another table to make amends for you another day.

   I have already asked my friend, and she will arrange for someone to take you back when the meal is finished. "

   Zhang Xuan was a little surprised, but not surprised, and said politely: "It's okay. If you have something to do, you can go first, it's still early, I'll take a taxi and go back by myself."

   Just then, You Huiyun appeared at the door.

  Yuan Lan saw this and hurriedly took the two to introduce:

   "This is a great writer, Zhang Xuan."

   "This is my friend, You Huiyun."

  You Huiyun stretched out her hand and said, "Hello."

   Zhang Xuan followed and reached out: "Hello."

   Yuan Lan's eyes lingered on the two of them quickly, apologetically speaking to the two of them, and then left in a hurry.

  You Huiyun personally escorted Yuan Lan downstairs. When she returned to the box, Zhang Xuan was still sitting there eating steak slowly, and an inexplicable smile flashed across her face.

   walked over and sat opposite, greeting: "Long time no see."

   Zhang Xuan didn't lift his head, put a small piece of beef in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and was too lazy to respond.

  You Huiyun looked at him quietly, watched him eat two more pieces of veal, and then took out a lady's cigarette.

   asked: "Do you mind if I smoke?"

   Zhang Xuan still didn't look at her: "Mind."

  You Huiyun didn't hear it, lit the cigarette, took a breath, played with the lighter and said:

   "You don't seem surprised at all."

   Zhang Xuan raised his head and looked at her this time, "I'm not surprised, and neither are you. Isn't it?"

   Having said that, Zhang Xuan put the empty plate aside and wiped his mouth with a tissue: "One steak is not enough, order another for me."

  You Huiyun asked, "Didn't you have dinner?"

   Zhang Xuan choked her: "What am I doing here after dinner?"

   Feeling that he was not the same as before, You Huiyun was stunned for a while, but she got up and went outside the door, and ordered the waiter to bring in another steak.

   Returning to his seat, You Huiyun asked, "How did you meet Yuan Lan?"

   Zhang Xuan asked, "You don't know?"

  You Huiyun took a breath, "I only know that she is deliberately approaching you, the others don't know."

  Zhang Xuan thought about it, briefly explained the brandy stock solution, and then asked, "How did you and her meet?"

   "It was also deliberately approaching me."

  You Huiyun played with the lighter in his left hand, the blue flame rose and went out.

   Zhang Xuan remembered what Li Mei had said, and asked knowingly, "What are you doing for me?"

   "Take the land."

   "Didn't you only come to Yangcheng for a year?"

   "The cat has the cat's way, the mouse has the rat's way, I naturally have my own way."

   "Yuan Lan tried so hard to get close to you, are you able to take land?"

   "Is there any more, a few pieces are no problem."

   The second steak came, Zhang Xuan said nothing, picked up the knife and fork and continued to eat the steak.

  You Huiyun watched him eat for a while, and asked after a while, "What do you think of Yuan Lan?"

  Zhang Xuan took a sip of red wine, looked her in the eyes and said, "On the way here, she told me: She is essentially a businessman and does not do business at a loss."

  You Huiyun put her right hand on the table, propped her chin and said, "Although I have a little power, I prefer to deal with this kind of person.

  If it wasn't for her, I would have to go to the school gate to block you. "

   Zhang Xuan was stunned: "Block me?"

  You Huiyun brushed the cigarette ashes with her left little finger, and said casually, "On a rainy day, I drove to the South Gate of Zhongda University for two hours. The luck was not good, and I didn't meet you.

   Once in the middle of the night, I went there on a whim and listened to a song for half an hour? "

   Zhang Xuan asked, "Midnight?"

  You Huiyun replied, "Yes, in the middle of the night."

   Zhang Xuan asked again, "Why is it midnight?"

  You Huiyun smiled mysteriously: "Guess why it's midnight."

   looked at each other for a few seconds, Zhang Xuan said: "Let's talk about Yuan Lan, I'm more curious about her."

  You Huiyun asked, "Why are you curious?"

   Zhang Xuan said: "Curiosity is just curiosity, do you need a reason?"

  You Huiyun said: "It is said that curiosity is the beginning of liking, do you want to date her?"

   Then she said: "If you want to **** her, you might as well **** me, I have more capital than her."

   Zhang Xuan's face collapsed, and he said seriously: "If you do this again, I will leave."

  You Huiyun smiled. She seldom laughed in the past few years. Her smile was like a willow leaf returning to the earth in spring. Her two thin lips were smiling, and her sparse eyebrows and eyes were smiling.

   She said: "Don't take it too seriously, life will be a lot less fun if you take it seriously."

   Zhang Xuan looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

  You Huiyun took another breath and said, "Yuan Lan has courage, brains, means, and a human touch. These are his advantages.

   But there are some things she can't get on the table, I don't want you to get too close to her. "

   Zhang Xuan looked at her strangely: "Hope? Then you want me to get close to you?"

  You Huiyun laughed even wider, "I saw you before as if I saw myself when I was young. At that time, I really wanted to turn you into another me, so let's hug together to keep warm.

   But now if you want to approach me, I will not refuse. "

   Said, You Huiyun took off her shoe with her right foot, stretched her leg over under the table, and rubbed it on his thigh a few times:

   "If you're thirsty, there's the sofa behind you, just hug me over there."

   Zhang Xuan said expressionlessly: "I'm eating, don't affect my appetite."

  You Huiyun said, "I learned that you were here, I took a shower and changed into new clothes."

   Zhang Xuan put down his knife and fork and sighed: "The wine is good, the food is good, but people are a little crazy."

  You Huiyun smiled and retracted her legs.

   Putting on her shoes, she closed her face and said coldly, "Yuan Lan and her two sisters are both illegitimate daughters, and her cheap father committed suicide for some reason.

  Her mother is a very strong person. In order to support the two sisters and provide a good educational environment for the two sisters, she went to Macau to find a relationship. "

   She took a breath and asked, "Do you know what makes the most money in Macau?"

   Zhang Xuan picked up the knife and fork and said, "Of course it's something related to "gambling"."

  You Huiyun nodded: "Her mother worked as a cleaning worker in Macau, worked as a coolie, and finally became a jigger by chance.

  Jegman is hard and angry, but he does make money. This is also one of the reasons why the two sisters Yuan Lan can study abroad one after another. "

   Zhang Xuan asked the question he had always been curious about at this time: "After finally learning something, why did Yuan Lan run a nightclub after returning to China?

  It’s not a good way to run a nightclub, and to raise so many people. "

  You Huiyun told him: "In addition to the ambition to get ahead, she has her own difficulties.

   She and her sister once hid in a neighbor's house and saw with their own eyes a group of people broke in and took her mother away, who never came back that day. "

   After finishing this topic, You Huiyun asked, "I heard that you liked a textile factory?"

   Zhang Xuan frowned: "Are you investigating me?"

  You Huiyun admitted it simply: "I also know that you are a great writer and wrote "The Sound of the Wind".

   But I prefer the articles on your "Zhiyin", which are interesting, know the warmth and coldness, know people's hearts, and know women. "

   Zhang Xuan crossed his knife and fork, cut the steak into small squares, and said, "Yuan Lan intends to introduce her sister to me, what do you think of this?"

  pia made a sound.

  You Huiyun lightly pressed the lighter on the table and said with a half-smile, "She is wishful thinking."

   Zhang Xuan's eyelids lifted, "Have you seen her sister?"

"certainly."

   "How does it look?"

   "It's alright, but it's far worse than Mijian."

   Zhang Xuan was speechless, "Tell me, what are you looking for from me today?"

  You Huiyun said: "I said it was to reminisce about the past, do you believe it?"

   Zhang Xuan replied, "I believe it."

   After Zhang Xuan said "I believe", the box fell into a dead silence.

   Eat one, and eat two steaks before and after.

  One cigarette, one after another, without much effort, three cigarette butts fell into the ashtray.

   After eating, put down the knife and fork, Zhang Xuan wiped his hands and mouth, took a sip of red wine and asked, "Since you have investigated me, how much do you know about the textile factory?"

  You Huiyun asked: "What do you want to know?"

   Zhang Xuan said: "I want to know."

  You Huiyun raised her index finger and shook it: "There is no free lunch in the world."

   Zhang Xuan put his hands on the table: "Then pick up the free ones and say."

  You Huiyun asked: "It's so hard to sleep with me all night?"

  Zhang Xuan said truthfully: "The matter of dressing, undressing, and dressing is not difficult. But there is no end to it."

  You Huiyun laughed loudly, and then stretched out three fingers and said, "You ask, I will answer you three questions."

   Zhang Xuan asked: "Why did the textile factory suddenly have so many predators?"

  You Huiyun simply said four words: "Subway line."

   Zhang Xuanming, and asked again: "How about the strength of the three competitors?"

  You Huiyun said: "The first is a state-owned enterprise, a newly established real estate company with strong capital, but their home is Shencheng. Textile factories are just one of their bets.

  The second is a newspaper office, which wants to join hands with Heung Kong Capital to open up new fields.

   Your third competitor is a private entrepreneur, with some connections, but not worth mentioning in my eyes. "

   Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and got up.

   Knowing that in You Huiyun's eyes, the competitor that is not taken seriously is a mountain that he cannot shake.

   took out a handful of money without counting it, put it on the table, and planned to leave immediately.

  You Huiyun reminded: "You still have a free question."

   Zhang Xuan waved his hand: "Thank you, there is no need."

  You Huiyun followed and got up: "Are you going to give up the textile factory?"

  Zhang Xuan said calmly: "Being a person must have self-knowledge."

  You Huiyun said, "I may be able to help you."

   Zhang Xuan stopped, paused, and continued walking: "Your price is too expensive, I can't afford it."
