So red that everything is black

Chapter 83 Big Red (23)

After Wen Xinlan went upstairs to change, Wei Qingkuan glanced at the decoration of the villa.

I saw that the decoration style of Wen's house was very different from what I imagined.

The overall decoration is simple, without luxurious crystal chandeliers and designer sofas.

The living room is in a simple Nordic style.

The corridor murals are in the new Chinese style.

The restaurant has a Japanese Zen style.

There is also a half-hidden room, which is a bit windy.

The most unexpected thing is the wine cabinet, which is filled with Coke and carbonated drinks of various flavors.

Although the house is clean and tidy, it is full of contradictions.

And it’s an indescribable feeling of separation.

It's as if this decoration plan was formulated by a group of people, and no one was convinced by anyone. In the end, they broke down and achieved a reluctant compromise result.

Turning his eyes back, he saw a huge white wall.Hanging above it are more than a thousand photos taken by Wen Xinlan during her travels.

Some photos are full of a sense of age, and seem to be the scenery that was only seen in old Beicheng and old Haicheng many years ago.

Wei Qingkuan admits that he has been to many countries and seen many domestic rivers, but he has never been lucky enough to visit those unpopular small towns and gathering places for young people in the photos.

She is obviously not yet 30 years old, but she has traveled to so many places and seen such a wide range of customs and customs.

Perhaps, this is also her capital and experience as a writer.

When I got closer and took a closer look, I saw that some areas in the photo wall were vacant.

He could vaguely guess that some photos of her and her ex had been taken down before they could be filled in.

Wei Qingkuan returned to the sofa and sat down. After walking around for a week, he found that there was indeed no trace of male life in the entire house.

A few minutes later, Wen Xinlan changed into a warm coat and carried a small bag downstairs, "Mr. Wei, let's go!"

"it is good."

Walking out of the villa, Wen Xinlan asked: "How many people are in Mr. Wei's car? Can you add me?"

"There's enough room to sit there. There's only one driver and one secretary."

Before the two of them reached the car, the male secretary got out of the car first and opened the door for them politely.

"Please!"

Wen Xinlan got on the bus first. She thought the driver was Liu Yuan. Just when she was about to say hello, a dark-faced strong man turned his head and asked in a fierce voice: "Mr. Wei, where are you going?"

For a moment, Wen Xinlan was restrained by the driver's sinister and terrifying aura.

This driver doesn't look like a driver, but more like a veteran special forces soldier who has experienced many battles, or some kind of underworld brother's top thug.

After closing the door for Wei Qingkuan, the male secretary got in the car and sat in the front passenger seat.

Seeing that Wen Xinlan looked unnatural, Wei Qingkuan said calmly: "When I go on a business trip, Lao Yan and Xiao Fu usually accompany me. Where are we going? I will listen to you."

Wen Xinlan came back to her senses and smiled back: "It's almost dinner time now, let's go eat first! Please navigate to Huishengju Baihuazhou store."

The burly driver didn't say anything, just found the address and set off.

Wen Xinlan took out her mobile phone and said to Wei Qingkuan: "Huishengju is a famous Wendong cuisine restaurant near the scenic spot. But the queue time at his place is too long. I'll call a friend first to add a number."

With that said, Wen Xinlan called Boss Huishengju Gao.

"Boss Gao, I have a few friends from Beicheng. Can you please add a number? They're from Baihuazhou store."

“How many tables do you need?”

Wen Xinlan counted the people in the car and replied: "Four people." The secretary and driver in the front row turned their faces at the same time, and Wei Qingkuan's eyebrows sank, signaling them not to talk too much.

Boss Gao quickly arranged the location and asked to contact him anytime if there is anything.

Wen Xinlan expressed her gratitude and hung up the phone.

Wei Qingkuan didn't seem interested in eating. Instead, he stared at her mobile phone and asked, "Why didn't Teacher Guifu get a new mobile phone?"

Wen Xinlan's face was full of questions at first, and she was stunned for a few seconds before she remembered that she had bought a new mobile phone at the Meng Lei annual meeting, so she smiled back: "This one is not broken yet, I don't want to throw it away. I will wait until the next time it comes out." Change it when you travel far away!"

“Why do you have to wait until you are traveling to change?”

"Because I found that the new mobile phone takes better pictures. The longer I use it, the blurry the pictures become."

Wei Qingkuan was doubtful, "I didn't find such a pattern. Teacher Guifu likes traveling very much?"

"I like it! I like it so much! I like taking pictures, eating delicious food, buying new clothes, freedom, freshness, and seeing different worlds. Traveling is something that can satisfy all the above-mentioned happiness for me, and It’s superimposed happiness, it can be called double happiness!”

On the way to the restaurant, Wen Xinlan enthusiastically talked about her travels from childhood to adulthood.Wei Qingkuan listened quietly.

Because there were more people visiting relatives and friends the previous year, there were some traffic jams around the business district.When the four of them arrived, there was already a long queue at the door of the restaurant.

The waiter recognized Wen Xinlan at a glance in the crowd and stepped forward to deliver the receipt, "Teacher Wen, the boss has greeted me. This is your number."

"Thank you."

The four of them didn't wait long before they called Wen Xinlan.

Entering the private room, two good-looking young waiters were making meal preparations.

Usually, most of the waiters serving Wendong cuisine are older aunties. This time, Boss Gao obviously paid special attention to it.

The young waitress set the tableware and said, "Our tableware has been sterilized, please feel free to use it."

"Thank you."

The waiter brought the four people heavy paper menus and said in turn: "Teacher, please take a look at the menu."

The three men from Beicheng were obviously confused when they heard the word "teacher".

Wen Xinlan hurriedly explained: "The word 'teacher' is a unique local title in Wencheng. Regardless of men, women, old or young, they are collectively called 'teacher', which is a neutral honorific."

The three men suddenly realized.

The male secretary smiled and said: "No wonder the security guard at the toll office called me teacher. At that time, I was still thinking, how can I have the temperament of a 'teacher' in me? How could people mistakenly think that I am a teacher?"

Wen Xinlan: "Wendong is a relatively conservative place, and people are embarrassed to call them ladies and gentlemen. Especially in the officialdom, the hierarchy is very clear. If someone calls the wrong director or section chief, something will happen if he is called the wrong one. "Teacher" has been used instead. I think all the titles are very good, and they also reflect the respect that the land of Confucius and Mencius must have for the three of them."

"So it is."

Wen Xinlan: "For example, Mr. Fu, today is the first time I meet you. I don't know your specific position, and I can't just call you Mr. Fu or secretary like Mr. Wei. I can be solved by just saying 'Mr. Fu'" Troubled by your title.”

The male secretary lowered his head: "Don't dare, don't dare. My name is Fu Jing. Teacher Guifu can just call me Xiaofu."

Wen Xinlan: "My real name is Wen Xinlan. You can just call me Xinlan. You don't have to call me Teacher Guifu."

Wei Qingkuan interrupted: "Why don't we order food first?"

Wen Xinlan: "Mr. Wei, what do you like to eat? Order first!"

Wei Qingkuan browsed the first few pages of recipes and said, "Does Teacher Guifu have any recommendations?"

"How about asking the waiter to serve some traditional signature dishes?"

"it is good."

Wen Xinlan asked again: "Do Teacher Fu and Teacher Yan have any taboos?"

Secretary Fu Jing said no, and driver Yan Hu shook his head.
