my daughter my hometown

Chapter 34 Coffee
The entrance of the jewelry store is not the place to talk about things. The two chatted for a while, and agreed to talk in detail at the nearby coffee shop.

It was not yet eight o'clock in the evening. Although Zhengyang Plaza was not in the CBD area, it was considered one of the most popular places in Fengcheng.Coupled with the fact that people come and go in the square on the big weekend, Wen Lan doesn't need to worry about her own safety.

After the handover, she came to the cafe.

As soon as she entered the door, the aroma of all kinds of food rushed to her face, and she couldn't help swallowing after she hadn't eaten for almost a day.

Ma Youcai politely asked her to sit down, and pushed the beautifully printed menu in front of her.

"What would Miss Wen want to eat? Order whatever you want."

He flipped through the menu and enthusiastically acted as a dish recommendation.

"I come to this coffee shop often, and all kinds of pastries are delicious. Ms. Wen came all the way from the capital, so I probably haven't tried it yet. I recommend you to try it, maybe you will like it."

During the time when Wen Lan was handing over, Ma Youcai had already received her personal information through the channel of Longfengxiang's head office, so he knew something about Wen Lan at this time.

He debuted four years ago and became an instant hit. He inexplicably retired three years ago and didn't come back until recently, but his popularity has long since faded.At this time, it should be regarded as life distress.

Ma Youcai was thinking silently in his heart, and the gentle smile on his face remained unchanged, making it impossible to see the slightest difference.

Wen Lan shook her head, without even glancing at the menu.She was afraid that if she glanced casually, it would be difficult to pull her eyes out of the menu.

"Thank you, but I'm not hungry yet, just have a cup of mocha."

Once bitten, twice shy.

Nowadays, Wen Lan doesn't easily eat with strangers outside, and ordering a cup of coffee is just a show.

"Alright." Ma Youcai nodded understandingly, without forcing it.

"I heard that many actresses strictly control the nutritional intake of three meals a day in order to maintain their figure. I once thought it was fake. After all, how can a person resist the temptation of delicious food?"

"Looking at it now, it turns out that it is really rare and strange for me."

Wen Lan secretly rolled her eyes.

Large corporations and jewelery shops have always been guests of the entertainment media.Many female stars met the boss of jewelry as if they met their own parents.Being the spokesperson of a jewelry brand is almost their ultimate dream.

Jewelry endorsements are not like food endorsements. They come in a lot of money and quickly, but it is not easy to attract negative news.The most important thing is that there are free jewelry to wear when entering and leaving various social occasions, which is simply the best partner for actresses.

Therefore, would you believe that a store manager like Ma Youcai would know nothing about the lives of actresses?
I don't know if others believe it or not, but Wen Lan doesn't believe it anyway.

At this time, the surrounding food seemed to be teasing her, and the aroma seemed to become more intense for a while.

The more she smelled the smell, the more hungry Wen Lan felt.After the coffee finally arrived on the table, she felt even more hungry, as if her stomach was aching.

Although she repeatedly warned herself not to drink, she couldn't help but picked it up and took a small sip.

Ma Youcai's smile remained unchanged.

"West point is high in calories, so it's understandable that Ms. Wen doesn't like it. Would you like to try the fruit salad here?"

"My girl is about the same age as Miss Wen. Every time I come to this cafe, the fruit salad here is her favorite."

Wen Lan's eyes almost fell on the picture of the fruit salad, but fortunately she controlled it, and quickly picked up the hot coffee and took another sip.

"Thank you, Manager Ma. I'm not hungry but rather thirsty. Just drink some coffee."

With a stubborn mouth, Wen Lan picked up the coffee again and pretended to take a sip.

It's just that the more coffee she drank, the hungrier she felt, and Wen Lan was a little restless for a while.

Had to find something to eat right away.Otherwise, if you are starving, who will take care of the children in the future?
Su Wan's bright smile flashed in Wen Lan's heart, she straightened up and looked directly at Ma Youcai opposite.

"Manager Ma, I've always been a straightforward person. If you have anything to say, I won't beat around the bush. Tell me if you have anything to say."

"If there is an opportunity to cooperate, we will continue to chat. If not, then I'm sorry and I have to go first. After all, we are not very familiar."

Ma Youcai was taken aback for a moment, then nodded appreciatively.

"Young people should be quicker. In fact, I really hate people who talk about it. I just know that Miss Wen probably hasn't eaten anything today, so I said a few more words."

He was overwhelmed with emotion.

"My girl is about the same age as Miss Wen. She has been working day and night these years, and she always forgets the time to eat. That's why I feel a little bit confused."

Wen Lan nodded, suppressing her temper and not speaking.

Ma Youcai took a look.

Well, if I continue to pull it off, I guess the other party will really get up and leave.

He had no choice but to take out a contract that his secretary had just sent over, and handed it over.

"Miss Wen, take a look at this first. Tomorrow is Sunday, and our Longfengxiang jewelry store will also hold a commercial performance at Zhengyang Plaza outside. I hope to invite you, Miss Wen, to help out."

Wen Lan's eyes fell on the contract, she moved her fingers, but in the end she didn't take over the contract.

"Manager Ma, with all due respect. Although it is not difficult for a jeweler like you, Long Fengxiang, to hold an ordinary commercial show, it is definitely not easy. There are always certain regulations."

She looked at Ma Youcai with suspicion and mockery in her eyes.

"Seeing that the commercial performance will start tomorrow, you are only looking for an artist now, and the store manager personally went to the door of the opponent's house to poach corners. Do you think I, Wen Lan, have no brains?"

She stood up abruptly, turned around and was about to leave.

"Thank you, Manager Ma, for your coffee, and Wen Lan bids farewell!"

"Alas! Miss Wen, please wait first."

Ma Youcai was stunned.

What's the matter with the young people nowadays, are all of them so hot-tempered?

He hurriedly called Wen Lan to stop.

"Miss Wen, you misunderstood."

"In fact, I planned tomorrow's commercial performance a few months ago. Well, to use the Internet buzzwords that you young people are familiar with, it's just hype."

He pointed to Jin Jiufu who was not far away outside, and said with a smile, "Rub the hotspot where Jin Jiufu opened their doors."

Wen Lan has no doubts.

A new store opened, but if the store manager still has a little ambition, there must be a lot of local advertisements in the past few months.

Ma Youcai's Long Fengxiang is close at hand, so it's understandable to want to catch hot spots, and it can even be said to be very smart.

Seeing Wen Lan stop, Ma Youcai breathed a sigh of relief.

"As for the artists who will perform on stage, we have already contacted them. Many of them have already rushed to this FC city. Other procedures are also in place. Now everything is ready, and the only thing we need is tomorrow's east wind."

Wen Lan sat down again.

"Then what do you mean by looking for me, Manager Ma?"

Ma Youcai pushed back the previous contract again.His face was sincere.

"My old horse said just now, of course I hope Miss Wen can perform on stage tomorrow."

He explained: "I heard Miss Wen's singing by chance tonight, and I was deeply moved by my old horse."

"I now know that a really good song has a charm. It can make you feel the same as the singer, and it can also make the audience have the urge to consume. Lin Dalong who just ran to the stage to confess his love is an example."

"I'm sure that if you don't show up tomorrow, there will be no difference between whether the commercial show is open or not. If it is forced to open, the other singers will just sing lonely and won't attract many audiences."

Everyone loves to hear good things, and Wen Lan is no exception.

"Manager Ma deserves to be in sales. He's not afraid of breaking my neck if he wears a lot of tall hats."

After speaking, she opened the contract in front of her and looked at it carefully.When she saw the amount, Wen Lan was stunned.

The above amount is not a lot, but it is definitely not a lot.At least for the current Wenlan, it can be regarded as a timely help, not just icing on the cake.

The most important resource is Wen Lan's own. Of course, the money does not need to be shared with the black-hearted and greedy Rainbow Entertainment and the reporter Luo Dan.

Ma Youcai took a sip of his coffee, his face wrinkled from bitterness.

"It's so bitter! I really don't know what's so good about this coffee. But you young people like to drink it, forcing us old guys to pretend to keep up, otherwise we can't even find a topic. To be honest, I still prefer it. I like drinking traditional Chinese tea and pastries."

He said: "If Miss Wen is not satisfied with the amount, we can talk again."

Wen Lan giggled, looking at the contract without looking up.

"Actually, I don't like coffee either, but who made this a coffee shop. I'm a little hungry after what Manager Ma said. Help me order a fruit salad, a small one is fine."
