Chapter 17: 1 more, comment on the red first package
"I want to eat barbecue now, do you want to eat?"
Huo Qi said this sentence almost in a sarcastic mood, he waited to see Lian Xi reveal the true face of the squeamish young lady.
Unexpectedly, after listening to his suggestion, Lian Xi turned around and glanced at the roadside barbecue stall, and nodded happily without thinking: "Okay! It just so happened that I haven't had a skewer for a long time, so let's eat there. ."
As she said, she walked towards the side of the road and turned back to Huo Qi with a smile: "Lu Chuan only feels like coming to this kind of open-air night market. You really know how to find a place." You are really smart. Ghost face.
Huo Qi: "..."
Why is it different from what he thought?
When he came to the barbecue stall, there was no need to say hello from the busy boss, Lian Xi was familiar with the door and started to choose the dishes he wanted to eat—
Grilled crucian carp is a must for barbecue, squid whiskers and crispy bones are also a must, pork belly, mutton skewers, and braised chicken feet are all delicious. Braised tofu is also available, potato chips, rice cakes, mushrooms, leeks... Oh, there are so many things I want to eat.
In the end, Lian Xi was hesitating while standing in front of a box of pig brain flowers, thinking about whether his cholesterol would be too high if he ate this in the middle of the night.
Forget it, it's rare to indulge yourself once, eat it.
So, Lian Xi happily added another serving of pig brain flower, and after a while, the order tray was so full that it was too crowded.
Lian Xi put his hand away contentedly, looked at Huo Qi with a strange look on the side, and urged: "These are all I want to eat, hurry up and eat what you want!" She couldn't wait.
Huo Qi: "..."
He glanced silently at the tray that had no room for food, and tried his best to calm down.
"That's all," he said.
"Ah?" Lian Xi looked at him in surprise: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Huo Qi raised his eyebrows: "You ordered so much, it's enough for the two of you to eat together."
"No way." Lian Xi said quickly, "I finally gave my body a vacation. I plan to eat all of this by myself. Don't grab it from me." Lian Xi also touched Xiaoman after he finished speaking. Waist, "Maybe I'm eating two people by myself and growing my body. If you want to eat these dishes, just add another portion according to your own."
"..." Huo Qi has gradually felt outrageous.
He stared at Lian Xi for a few seconds without saying a word, then picked up a new plate to order.
But he ordered very few dishes, and they were all vegetarian dishes, which were not very exciting at first glance.
Seeing Lian Xi next to him, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart. He thought he took the initiative to make skewers, what a person who knew how to eat, and the result...that's all?
She found an empty table and sat down, raised her hand and waved: "Boss, two more beers!"
"Right." Lian Xi turned his head and asked Huo Qi, "Do you drink ice or not?"
The light under the street lamp is clearly visible, and Huo Qi's thin eyebrows are raised. He calmly and restrained said: "I don't drink, and there will be an operation tomorrow morning."
Lian Xi was quite disappointed, and even started to persuade him to drink: "Then let's have a drink, it's boring for me to drink alone, you can accompany me to drink a drink, I don't advise you if there are too many!"
The corners of Huo Qi's mouth twitched indistinctly, feeling strangely and inexplicably that he probably fell into a pit, and he dug the pit himself.
Lian Xi couldn't help but push a glass of cold beer in front of him, smiling brightly: "Okay, just this one."
The owner of the barbecue stall quickly served the skewers. The lady boss saw Huo Qi and greeted him warmly: "It turns out to be Dr. Huo. You brought a friend here today?" She saw a glass of cold beer in front of him. Surprised: "Yo, are you still drinking today?"
Huo Qi: "..." What can he say.
After the proprietress of the barbecue stall put down the skewers, she looked at Lian Xi, who was opposite, and she was shocked again—good guy, this girl is so beautiful!
Not only is she beautiful, her skin is also white, her clothes are even more luxurious, and she looks like a star on TV. Sitting at her roadside stall with such a smile, the proprietress immediately felt cramped and hated that her small place was not clean and spacious enough.
She and Dr. Huo seem to be a very good match, and I don't know if they are Dr. Huo's girlfriend, and the proprietress is not a senseless person. She didn't ask questions, just smiled and said: "Dr. Huo, then you two are slow, what are you missing? I am."
As soon as Lian Xi saw the roasted skewers, she leaned in and smelled them: "Wow, it looks delicious." She picked up her phone and took a picture of the dazzling skewers on the table. took a photo, and then smiled at the proprietress: "I'll advertise for you."
"Thank you so much for the guests. Yummy, you will come often in the future, and I will give you a 20% discount!"
"Okay." Lian Xi picked up a bunch of pork belly and scooped it up, nodding with satisfaction, "Yeah, it's delicious!"
Huo Qi sat opposite, watching Lian Xi chatting with the proprietress indifferently, the strange strangeness in his heart came up again.
Miss Lian, who has always been arrogant, domineering and vain, is the one who disdains these poor people the most. From the memory of that year, the arrogant Miss Lian, Huo Qi's disdainful attitude towards Huo Qi, whose mother had just passed away and was brought back to the Huo family, is still fresh in Huo Qi's memory.
Those maroon-colored fairy-tale princess-like beautiful eyes reveal such an ugly heart.
But now, when she talks to the owner of the barbecue stall, there is no disgust or disdain, only politeness and friendliness.
This kind of harmonious picture is something that Huo Qi never expected to appear on Lian Xi, a vicious and bad woman.
But it happened to appear.
Seeing that Huo Qi didn't move, Lian Xi picked up a bunch of kelp he ordered and handed it to him: "Hurry up! Let me tell you, the barbecue has to be eaten while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold." Very experienced look.
Huo Qi lowered his eyes slowly, took a bite, chewed slowly, and ate extremely gracefully.
On the other hand, Lian Xi was extremely unrestrained, holding pork belly in one hand and braised chicken feet in the other. After finishing two skewers, he drank cold beer.
She also urged him: "Don't just eat, come come, let's touch one!"
Huo Qi: "..."
The cups touched each other crisply, Huo Qi took a sip with embarrassment, but Lian Xi raised his head and gulped.
Huo Qi watched Lian Xi's unrestrained actions again, and couldn't help but think of the way she was sitting in the restaurant of the private club last time, elegantly cutting a steak.
Which face is her real face?
"It's so spicy! But I like it, it's exciting!" Lian Xi said contentedly while hissing.
In this way, Huo Qi watched with a strange expression that Lian Xizhen had finished all the two plates of skewers on the table by himself.
After eating, she wiped her mouth contentedly and burped boldly: "Hiccup—"
"I'm so full." Lian Xi rubbed her bulging belly and fell down on the seat sinisterly - how much exercise would it take to digest this calorie meal today.
Huo Qi looked at the only bone residue left on the plate, and at Lian Xi's belly, which had changed from flat to round. After a moment of silence, he called the boss: "Pay the bill."
The boss smiled and came over with the bill.
Huo Qi took out his wallet and paid, while Lian Xi was still rubbing his stomach.
When the two came out after eating the skewers, it was already more than one o'clock.
There are no pedestrians on the streets in the middle of the night, and only one or two pass by occasionally.
Lian Xi's stomach was in a panic, and he drank some cold beer. He didn't want to drive anymore, so he planned to call a driver.
"Dr. Huo, where do you live and drop by?"
Huo Qi took out the car key in his coat pocket and said lightly, "No need, I'll drive."
Lian Xi didn't force it. After driving on his behalf, she got into the car, waved goodbye to him, and left quickly.
Huo Qi stood there, looking at the direction where the rear of her car disappeared, and stared deeply for a long time.
…
After arriving home, Huo Qi hesitated again and again, but decided to send a message to ask the woman if it was safe to get home.
- After all, it is rare to see a young and beautiful woman who drives a Ferrari, and is drunk enough to call for a driver at one o'clock in the morning.
When people leave from him, it is his duty to ensure their safety.
After thinking about it, Huo Qi picked up the phone and opened the message box with Lianxi. The conversation was still three days ago. She asked him if he wanted to have a late-night snack together after get off work.
After being rejected by him, she sent a message [Okay, rest early, boo boo]
Huo Qi thought for a while, and was about to type to ask her if she was home when he saw an update red dot in her circle of friends, so he pointed his finger and clicked in.
A photo of colorful barbecue skewers and cold beer, accompanied by the text: [First date, heart-warming feeling. 】
Huo Qi stared at the text for a moment, and sneered expressionlessly, and he really thought too much.
For a bad woman like her, any man dares to attack her, she will be Amitabha if she doesn't attack other people's bad ideas.
And Lian Xi over there, after he got home and posted a circle of friends that only Huo Qi could see, he washed his face non-stop and went straight to bed, and fell asleep.
She woke up at half past six the next morning.
Sprint like crazy on the treadmill in the gym downstairs.
Last night, she ate thousands of calories in an impulsive manner. In order to digest it, she had to increase the amount of exercise. The bad result was that she got up at seven o'clock today to run.
After running and boxing for half an hour, I was so tired that I was sweating profusely, and then I gave up.
After getting up, Aunt Qin was about to go for a morning walk in the yard. When she heard the sound of the fitness room, she came over and said in surprise, "Miss, are you up so early?"
Lian Xi took off his boxing gloves and wiped his sweat with a towel: "Well, get up and exercise, how are your hands, Aunt Qin?"
Aunt Qin has medicine on the back of her hand and hardly touches water these days. The housekeeper and another maid temporarily take care of the three meals a day at home, so she gets better quickly.
"It's okay, it's almost scabbed."
"That's good, don't get wet." Lian Xi stretched before the yoga mat for a while, and said to Aunt Qin, "I'll go upstairs to take a shower."
Over there, Lian Binnian also came downstairs. Seeing Lianxi's appearance as if she had just come back from outside, her brows furrowed, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with her behavior of not going home again last night: "Where did you go to fool around last night? It's gone!"
Lian Xi said lightly, "What the hell? I just finished my workout."
Aunt Qin hurriedly testified: "Master, Miss got up to exercise before seven o'clock. She came back at half past one last night."
Because Aunt Qin's room was located downstairs and near the garden, she could hear the sound of parking in the yard more clearly.
Lian Binnian choked, glared at Lian Xi, and said angrily after a while, "I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Lian Xi asked casually.
"Next month, the Huo family's 60th birthday, you are ready to go to the banquet with me." After Lian Binnian finished speaking, he still warned worriedly, "Don't give me anything, and don't give me anything. What are you doing?"
"You're not too young, don't mess around all day, learn to be down-to-earth. I asked someone to ask about Huo Qi. He has no status in the Huo family, and Huo Zhenting doesn't like him very much. In the future, the Huo family's industry may not have him. You have nothing to do with him. But if you like the Huo family, there are a few rare young talents in the younger generation over there. When the time comes, I will see if there is a suitable person, and I will give you one. "
After listening to Lian Binnian's words, Lian Xi slowly turned his head and said meaningfully, "Who said that Huo Qi's industry will not have Huo Qi's share in the future?"
In the future, the entire Huo family will be his, okay?
Not only that, if he hadn't been swept up by the people who blackened and criticized the villain, I am afraid that Murong Chen's heyday group would have fallen into his hands.
Such an ultimate boss was actually disliked by Lian Binnian and had no prospects.
"Father, it's your job to open your eyes and get to know people again." Lian Xi smiled mysteriously and leisurely, "Don't worry, the future son-in-law I chose for you will definitely not disappoint you."
Lian Xi asked the driver to drive her to the company today.
She felt that it was a bit too ostentatious to drive a supercar to work every day, and it also had bad psychological stimulation for the company's employees.
In order to mingle with the employees, Lian Xi decided to usually drive a commercial car to the company. Although this is also an expensive Cayenne, it is black, which is lower-key than the big red.
Entering the company office building, employees greeted each other one after another.
"Early morning!"
"It's always good."
Lian Xi nodded with a smile and strode towards his office.
Assistant Zhao Xiaoting hurriedly delivered the coffee that had been prepared a long time ago: "Mr. Lian, your coffee."
The boss is here, and the managers and supervisors below will naturally take the initiative to report to the work.
Donna and Manager Liu came in together, and Manager Liu presented the work report: "Mr. Lian, this is a backup of yesterday's detailed plan, you can take a look."
Lian Xi took a sip of coffee, took the report, read it ten lines at a glance, and asked in surprise, "The content is well done, who wrote it?"
This post can be said to have grasped the fans' psychology very accurately, and guided the viewers' thinking without any trace while counting the idols' efforts and difficulty. When Lian Xi saw it, he had the idea of wanting to vindicate this idol.
Manager Liu said: "It's Xiao Chen from our department. She is very good at these rice circle cultures, and she also chases stars herself, so after your order was delivered, she volunteered to take over the job."
"Sure enough, you still have to use magic to defeat magic." Lian Xi praised with satisfaction, and said, "Just use this, let Zhao Xiaoting send it to a few fan support clubs immediately, time waits for no one, we have to do it before Dingsheng's new products are released. Be prepared for everything."
Lian Xi asked Donna again, "How long does it take for the design drawings to be handed in from your product department?"
Donna said: "I'm afraid the whole series will have to be before next week, but the designers have already made a batch according to your idea, Mr. Lian. Would you like me to show it to you?"
"Okay, let them show it to me at the staff meeting later." Lian Xi tapped on the desk with one hand and pondered for a while: "The time for the new product launch conference, I plan to set it on the 16th of next month. ."
This time was chosen for a reason.
This morning, Lian Zhinian told her that the 60th birthday banquet of Huo Zhenting, the head of the Huo family, will be on the 15th of next month, so on the 15th, there must be a lot of celebrities in city A, which is a very good one to show her new high-end lanci design. The timing, as long as this appearance is amazing enough, she will hold a new product series launch conference the next day, and it will be an instant hit.
Donna naturally did not dare to question the boss's decision, just for the sake of it: "Then it will only take more than half a month. I'm afraid it will be too late to start from payment and drawing to delivery."
Lian Xi nodded: "So, the job fair will be held tomorrow, and we need to recruit talents immediately."
The company has been posting recruitment information in the headhunting company for a few days, and it is time to attract fresh blood.
Then there was a morning meeting for all employees of the company. Lian Xi named and performed Xiao Chen, who wrote the copywriting for the fan support club, and handed over several official accounts of the company to her, so that she would be responsible for online publicity in the future.
Xiao Chen happily accepted the new task. With a job that is not too big or not too small, the salary can be increased by a wave, and I am doing something I like. Where can I find such a beautiful job.
Manager Liu, who was sitting at the bottom, started to scratch a little in his heart.
He thought to himself, Zhao Xiaoting, his subordinate, had been promoted to President Lian before and became the assistant to President Lian, and then this Xiao Chen was promoted to manage the company's official account because he could write a few jokes about the fandom. He also said that Donna, who was on the opposite side, was also given the heavy responsibility of developing high-end new products by the general committee, but he, a serious marketing manager, did not even get the boss's attention.
The active-minded Manager Liu murmured in his heart: Didn't Lian always plan to replace me, a useless old minister, after recruiting new people this time?
"Manager Liu! Manager Liu!"
Just thinking about it, Manager Liu heard someone calling him, so he quickly recovered, and relied on his instinctive reaction to say haha: "Ah? Oh, that's it."
Seeing that Manager Liu was distracted during the meeting, Lian Xi quickly frowned, but he didn't show it on his face, and only asked, "How did the managers of the three artists reply?"
"They, they signed the contract and got the money anyway, it's just a one-time cooperation, they don't care about the promotion results, they just have a very big opinion on the current limit of their own artists, they have given feedback to us a few times, let us Find a solution as soon as possible, or you will sue us." Manager Liu said disapprovingly, "It's a small brokerage company, but the tone is big, don't worry, Mr. Lian, they have been sent by me."
Hearing this, Lian Xi raised his head and looked at Manager Liu with a deep look: "At this time, don't make trouble with the agency, otherwise what if they bite us back?"
Manager Liu was stunned for a while, then said with an apologetic smile: "What Mr. Lian said is that I will communicate with them again."
Lian Xi hummed lightly and didn't say more, and turned to the factory manager to discuss issues such as the selection of new fabrics for high-end new products.
Just keep an eye on it: this manager Liu's thinking is easy to break down, and it is probably not suitable for the position of marketing director.
Seeing that Mr. Lian's face was calm, Manager Liu began to feel a little uncertain again. Did he make Mr. Lian unhappy because he didn't do his errands well?
In the past, even the general manager who was fishing for three days and two days of netting didn't care about company affairs. Manager Liu was also happy to mess around. He is a good individual, and he belongs to the kind of company that is thrown into serious involution and can fight hard. In such a collective The place to fish is also happy to be confused.
Anyway, if you leave Lanci, you may not be able to find a company with better treatment than here.
Unexpectedly, President Lian suddenly started to manage the company seriously.
Manager Liu is a person who is very good at seeing the wind and the rudder. If the boss changes his attitude, he will naturally change as well, but looking at Mr. Lian's happy attitude, he doesn't know if he is going the right way.
The newly appointed HR is called Zhong Ziping. He is an ordinary-looking young man. However, this person is very popular in the company. He always has a friendly smile on his face. , in the management of University A, after entering lanci, he did financial management in the financial department.
This time, Lian Xi wanted to expand the recruitment of talents, so the director of the finance department and Lian Xi brought Zhong Ziping up to directly serve as HR.
Zhong Ziping did not live up to his expectations. He organized the resumes compiled in the past few days into categories, focusing on recommendations, including venue arrangements and personnel planning, and presented them to Lian Xi to review them in advance, so that she could have a good idea of tomorrow's job fair.
Lian Xi took a few tenths of resumes and looked through them carefully, and was more interested in a few of them.
However, things like resumes are all beautiful, and I have to see myself tomorrow to say what will happen.
Soon came the second day.
The job fair has started.
Those who came to apply for the job were all young people, both men and women. They sat in the lobby with their resumes and looked curiously at the internal environment of Lanci.
Although the lanci company is small and has not many staff, all interviewees know that lanci is linked to Lian's, and that lanci is Miss Lian's ticket-playing company.
This second-generation company generally has three characteristics.
One, it is generous, and there is no shortage of money.
Second, the eyes are higher than the top, so foolish.
Three, back against a big tree, it is good to enjoy the shade
So this job fair, there are people who come with all kinds of thoughts.
At ten o'clock, Lian Xi walked over, surrounded by Zhao Xiaoting, Donna and others, Zhong Ziping followed closely, and the group entered the office.
Candidates were invited in one by one.
In the office, Lian Xi sat in the middle, Donna, Zhong Ziping, and Manager Liu sat on both sides equally. Zhao Xiaoting, as an assistant, was in charge of recording and calling people.
The first interview was a plane model, and there were seven or eight people, all of whom were outstanding in appearance and height, and even mixed races.
As soon as the models walked in, the office immediately had a beautiful landscape.
As a male Zhong Ziping, although he usually has a friendly smile, when he was an interviewer, his expression was so serious that he couldn't tell his liking. On the other hand, Manager Liu took a few more glances at the two mixed-race models, probably wanting to suggest Lian Xi to keep the two of them.
However, considering the combination of styles, Lian Xi finally left only two models with oriental classical temperament to prepare for the company's next high-end new products.
Then the interviews are with product development managers and designers.
For this, Lian Xi lowered her expectations in advance. After all, if she really asked these interviewers according to her own standards, I am afraid that nine out of ten people would not meet the standards.
But there was someone who really surprised her...
