fish in the financial tsunami

Chapter 31 Su Xiaoyu's Dilemma (2)
Thinking of this, she decided to take back her autonomy, and let her propose a restaurant with a price close to the maximum she could afford, but just as he wanted to speak, he spoke.

"Let's eat Southeast Asian food. I know there is a very authentic one here. Let's go."

What they said was declarative sentences. After finishing speaking, he grabbed the car key and went out first. Su Xiaoyu trotted all the way to catch up. He had no chance to raise a different opinion.

The car was driving on the elevated road, heading west, and after getting off the ramp, it turned into a familiar street. Su Xiaoyu gradually became surprised, and before he could ask Tang Zhongwen, he had already slowed down the car, and went straight to the side of the road.

The street is quiet, and the shops facing the street are brightly lit in the night. When you look up, you can see the bright shop name. This Malay restaurant is not far from Chen Sulei's apartment in the West District. He took her here when we first met, and later She also frequents here frequently, so of course she is very familiar with this place, and she can't make a mistake with her eyes closed.

"This one?" She asked standing on the side of the road after getting off the car.

Tang Zhongwen nodded, glanced at her, and asked again, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, this restaurant is delicious, let's go in." Su Xiaoyu smiled, what a coincidence, but it's okay, she hasn't been here for a long time, and she wanted to eat it.

This is a restaurant that Su Xiaoyu often frequents, of course she is very familiar with it, and she walks straight through the door without the waiter leading the way.

There was a menu on the table, Su Xiaoyu opened it in front of Tang Zhongwen, and said with a sincere smile, "Wen Sen, you have ordered what you want to eat, everything here is delicious."

Tang Zhongwen looked at the menu and asked her, "Su Xiaoyu, are you familiar with this place?"

"Well, I often come here for supper." Su Xiaoyu answered honestly.

He raised his eyes from the menu to look at her, and spoke two seconds later, "Aren't you busy with work now?"

"I was busy a while ago, but I'm fine now." Su Xiaoyu replied.

"Oh? Why?" He beckoned for an order and added another sentence by the way.

Why?Su Xiaoyumo, it's impossible to tell the truth. My boss has been playing the game of disappearing recently, and the company is now talking about empty plans, right?Everyone is investing. Will her being so straightforward become a leak of business secrets?

Someone came over to order for them. During dinner time, the business in the store was very good. The waiters were serving food and adding water, and they shuttled back and forth. The lady who came over was the proprietress herself, and said to Tang Zhongwen with a smile, "What do you want, sir?" Luo saw Su Xiaoyu sitting opposite Tang Zhongwen again, and smiled at her after being taken aback for a moment.

Su Xiaoyu also smiled and greeted her.

Tang Zhongwen's ordering is very simple, it can be seen that he is used to making decisions, and the dishes are served quickly. The pork neck is tender and bright red, the shrimp paste water spinach is oily and green, and the last one is the golden seafood curry pot. The aroma wafts away from the distance Su Xiaoyu twitched her index finger when she smelled it, and happily picked up the small bowl of rice in front of her with one hand, and the spoon with the other.

Tang Zhongwen was not in a hurry, he glanced at her before he started, and said, "Be careful."

He said be careful, remembering the way another person said this, Su Xiaoyu paused his hand in mid-air, and then smiled, "I know, curry is like tarik tea, the surface does not smoke, but the bottom is still hot , so be careful not to burn it."

Tang Zhongwen nodded, then the corner of his mouth curved, but Su Xiaoyu had already lowered his head and didn't notice it at all.

The two chatted while eating. Tang Zhongwen was never a talkative man, but today he was in a surprisingly good mood. He actually took the initiative to start the topic and asked Su Xiaoyu, "Why did you think of going to the business school?"

"It didn't come to me suddenly. In fact, I always wanted to continue studying. After working, I felt that what I learned in school was not enough. The MBA course is very useful to our industry. Learn more and have a bottom line." Su Xiao Fish speak their minds.

"Do you know what's in your heart?"

"Well, learn more while I'm young, so I can use it everywhere in the future." Su Xiaoyu replied while eating.

Tang Zhongwen looked up at her again, "Don't you have confidence in your current company?"

"Ah?" I didn't expect him to ask such a question. Su Xiaoyu immediately denied it. There was still food in his mouth, and he choked before he could speak. He could only cough and shake his head, "No, I didn't think so."

He didn't ask any more questions, and quickly brought a glass of water. Seeing that her face was flushed from coughing, he stood up again and stretched out his hand to run along her back.

Someone walked by, and when they passed by their table, they suddenly stopped, took a look at Su Xiaoyu's mess, and then spoke.

That voice was all too familiar to her, it was Chen Sulei, her tone was light and her words were simple.

He said, "Little fish, what a coincidence?"

It was only two weeks apart, but Su Xiaoyu felt that she hadn't seen Chen Sulei for a long time, especially when he fell from the sky so suddenly, which made her feel even more shocked. Stared blankly at him.

It was indeed Chen Sulei, with a black sweater and a light-colored shirt with the collar turned up. He was usually casual, with a very calm expression on his face. Although there seemed to be a smile on his face when he looked at her, the corners of his eyes did not move.

What happened?Shouldn't this man still be enjoying the food and wine in the South of France?Why did she appear at her table so suddenly? Is it a coincidence?It's downright scary.

This meal was just her invitation to Tang Zhongwen to express her gratitude, so she shouldn't feel guilty, but Su Lei's aura was so strong that Su Xiaoyu was stunned before he could open his mouth, unable to speak.

It was Tang Zhongwen who answered him first, "Mr. Chen, we meet again, hello." After speaking, he stood up and shook hands with him with a natural expression.

Chen Sulei smiled, nodded to him, and said, "I just got off the plane, and you also know what Air China's in-flight meal is like, so I wanted to come over to make up for it. I didn't expect such a coincidence to bother you?"

Someone stood in front as a buffer, Su Xiaoyu struggled to regain consciousness, finally stood up and spoke, explaining, "Su Lei, Mr. Tang did me a big favor, so I treated him to dinner, why did you come back suddenly? We were not notified."

"Help me a big favor?" Su Lei smiled, raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.

Reflexively wanted to answer his question, Su Xiaoyu stopped before she could speak, she was not stupid, she guessed whether he would feel happy after knowing the content of the help, and when she became annoyed, she didn't know what to say.

"You're welcome, Xiaoyu. It's just a letter of recommendation. It's easy to do." Tang Zhongwen spoke again.

Little effort?Su Xiaoyu groaned in her heart, not daring to look at Su Lei again.

The former boss, whether the letter of recommendation is a piece of cake is another matter, but it is really a piece of cake for you to ruin me, I am convinced... Also, what did you call me just now?We have known each other for so long and even have a first and last name, why did Xiaoyu suddenly get up?It's amazing.

Tang Zhongwen left so quickly that Su Xiaoyu didn't even have time to keep him, let alone she didn't know how to keep him.

Having dinner alone with her former boss and being bumped into by her current boss, anyone would feel a little uncomfortable, not to mention that the former boss tried to poach her, although she didn't think Su Lei would know about it , but there is always some uneasiness in my heart.

There were only the two of them left at the dining table. The boss came over and saw Su Lei with a surprised face. He greeted him warmly and asked him why he hadn't come for so long. Do you dislike their dishes today?
Su Lei replied with a smile, "I went to France once and just came back. These are not the dishes I ordered. Don't say hello. I'm leaving."

Did the boss understand what he said? Looking at them with doubts on their faces, the lady boss came over immediately when she saw this place from afar, greeted them embarrassedly, and said that there was something in the kitchen, and dragged her husband away.

I don't know what happened, before leaving, the boss took another look at Su Xiaoyu, but Su Xiaoyu didn't accept that look at all, she was looking at Chen Sulei.

She knew that he had always been a man who could not express emotions, and a smile on his face did not necessarily mean that he was in a good mood, so she was a little uneasy before, but now after listening to what he said to the boss, she became more certain of her guess—he is now Very upset, very upset.

Not wanting him to misunderstand, she mustered up the courage to speak again, calling his name in a low voice, wanting to explain again.

"Su Lei..."

He had turned around and looked back at her again, "what's the matter?"

She didn't say anything, but when she saw him turn around, she was a little stunned, and she stuttered when she answered, "You, where are you going?"

"Suddenly I don't feel hungry anymore, I want to go back to rest, don't worry about me, you can continue to eat. Also, I'm sorry to disturb your dinner with Mr. Tang."

He didn't look angry at all, and said sorry in a flat tone, but Su Xiaoyu was panicked when he heard it, and before he had time to think, he reached out and grabbed his clothes corner, and didn't know what to say, so he could only open his eyes wide Looking at him, like a lost child.

And he stopped in his tracks, looked down at her hand holding the corner of his clothes, his lowered eyes showed no emotion, he slowly sighed, and when he spoke again, his voice became a little tired.

"Little fish, I'm just tired. If you don't want to continue eating, then let's go together."

Chen Sulei's car was parked outside the restaurant, Su Xiaoyu followed him to the door, and asked softly before getting in the car, "Su Lei, can I drive?"

He looked down at her, the street lights were bright, she suddenly noticed the light shadow under his eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Are you really tired? Why didn't you inform us that you are coming back today? Master Wu is not here, so I can pick him up." It's a machine."

He didn't answer, stretched out his hand to open the door and sat in, and said before closing the door, "Come up?"

Su Xiaoyu silently said that he would never return for such a big deal.

He was driving and she was talking. Actually, there was not much to say. The matter was very simple, and she never thought of deliberately concealing it.

They are already together, although he may not agree with some things, but what should be said should be said to him.Besides, she has already discovered the problem just now—even Tang Zhongwen mistakenly thought that she had no confidence in the current company and was eager to make plans for the future. It seems that there was indeed a problem with her previous expression. It's not too late.

It was all the truth, she said it simply, and looked at him very seriously after she finished speaking.He was driving, eyes looking at the road ahead, the street was brightly lit, pieces of light and shadow passed by his face, the car was very quiet, knowing that he was silent on purpose, but she gradually forgot the previous anxiety, just looked at he.

It turned out that she hadn't seen him for so long, and it turned out that she missed him very much.

"Xiaoyu." Finally hearing Su Lei speak, Su Xiaoyu was watching him fascinated, so the response speed was a little slower, and he just gave a very soft "hmm".

"If that's what you want to do, I won't stop it," he continued, looking ahead.

Already regained consciousness, but still didn't know how to answer, Su Xiaoyu continued with a "huh".

"If you really need a recommendation, I can do that too." He continued, his voice flat.

She didn't expect him to say that, obviously she should be happy, but she felt itchy in her heart and felt a little sad, and she didn't know why, she looked down and saw her fingers moved slightly in his direction.

There was another moment of silence in the carriage, and then he heard his voice, "If you really want to, you can say, you don't have to work so hard to stay with me."

This time she finally stopped pronouncing the monosyllable and shook her head, "It's not hard, I just want you to still be in France, and I don't want you to fly around for this matter, that's the hard work."

At the red light, the car stopped at the intersection, he looked sideways, there were many complicated emotional ups and downs in the dark eyes, and finally sighed, rubbing her face with his hands while talking, not hard, with a little bit of hatred The smell of steel.

"Then wouldn't it be hard for me to fly back for a mindless phone call? Fool."

What's the meaning?Su Xiaoyu was stunned. He flew back overnight like this, and the flight of more than ten hours was because of the phone call she made suddenly last night and regretted hanging up?
Her own face was still in his palm, the red light jumped, someone honked the horn behind the car, but she felt complicated and didn't know what to do, and finally wanted to cry uselessly.

The sound of the horn behind the car became urgent, he took another look at her, and finally withdrew his hands and landed on the steering wheel, but when his arms warmed up, it was Su Xiaoyu, who stretched out his arms and hugged his arms, and put his face on his shoulders, She didn't speak, nor was she acting like a baby, but just hugged him like this.

The car behind finally couldn't wait any longer, stepped on the gas pedal and cut into another lane to drive forward.The driver was impatient, and when he drove to the intersection, he pressed the window and wanted to curse, but what he saw at a glance was two people kissing together, their interlaced profiles were gentle and beautiful, a rare and beautiful picture.

I didn't expect to see such a scenery with a quick glance. The poor driver had forgotten what he wanted to say. He was still on the brakes, and he was so stunned. Then there was a muffled "bang", and his car shook , it turned out that the car behind him that changed lanes failed to brake enough and collided with him violently.
