within Temptation

Chapter 41

After reporting today's work situation to Hu Guoliang, it happened to be time to get off work.Because I had an appointment with Tang Xiaoru, I immediately called home and told my mother that I would have dinner out tonight so that she wouldn't have to wait for me.

As for Shi Shanshan, I don't know how much she heard about my phone call just now. After all, I felt that she looked at me strangely, and people began to ignore me a little bit.

I was thinking, wouldn't Shi Shanshan also think that I was going to curry favor with Tang Xiaoru and flatter the leader?But even if I go to curry favor with the company leader, why doesn't she seem happy?Does she think that if I am promoted in the future, I will alienate her?In other words, she doesn't like me as the kind of person who climbs the dragon and attaches herself to the phoenix, and thinks that such a person is not worthy of being friends with her?
I don't care what other people think, but Shi Shanshan is my good friend now, and I don't want her to misunderstand me.But there is really no way to tell her about the matter between Tang Xiaoru and me.Finally think about it or forget it, time will tell everything.After my grievances and grievances with Tang Xiaoru are settled, I will no longer have any private contacts with her.I treat Shi Shanshan the same as before. It won't be long before all these things will pass.

After get off work, I am not in a hurry to leave the company.Staying to sort out the work at hand, waiting for Tang Xiaoru's call.Shi Shanshan left first, and didn't say goodbye to me as usual.In my heart, I was a little depressed, and found that I still care about her very much.After Wei Hai left, Shi Shanshan was the only person I could count as a friend in the company.If she ignores me, I will feel very uncomfortable.

About 10 minutes later, Tang Xiaoru's call really came.She told me that she had reserved a small private room in La Fenche near the company, and asked me to hurry there now.

I know La Fangche, it is a chain of coffee and gourmet restaurants, and the consumption is not very high.Sun Dong took me there once before, and I feel that the environment is not bad.After putting down the phone, I put away the things I had organized, and left the company, and soon came to La Fangshe not far from the company.

In the parking space outside La Fangshe, I saw Tang Xiaoru's Buick.The bump marks on the front of the car have now been repaired like new.When I walked to the second floor of La Fenche, I asked the waiter where is the No. 6 box?Under the guidance of the waiter, I soon found the private room that Tang Xiaoru had reserved.Pushing open the door, she saw that she was already sitting inside, holding a mobile phone, talking to someone with a smile on her face.

Seeing my appearance, Tang Xiaoru nodded to me hurriedly, motioning for me to sit down opposite her.But he was still talking to the phone: "Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Li! Next time I have a chance, I will treat you to dinner, and Mr. Li must appreciate it!"

I smiled and sat down while watching her talk.I thought that Tang Xiaoru really entertained a lot, and said that she didn't know when she would have time in the future. It seemed that this statement was not false at all.

Soon, Tang Xiaoru ended the call, put down the phone, and said to me with a smile: "Come here? I have ordered a few special dishes here just now, and you can see what you like. Order casually, don't Be polite to me."

As she spoke, she pushed the two service catalogs on the dining table towards me, motioning for me to look at them and order something else.I smiled hurriedly and said, "No, since you've already ordered it, I won't order it. I don't like eating, and I don't care what I eat. It's just two people, and there's no need to waste it."

Just as I was talking, a waitress knocked on the door and came in and added a glass of iced lemonade for me.Tang Xiaoru seemed to have thought of something, and said to me: "Since you don't order food, then order the bar you like to drink? What kind of wine do you usually drink? White or red?"

I smiled and said, "Forget it, it's not fun for me to drink alone, and besides, the wine here is much more expensive than the ones outside, so it's not worth it."

Tang Xiaoru also smiled, and said, "Who said you drink alone? Am I not a human?"

I wondered: "You also drink?"

Tang Xiaoru nodded, and said, "I know a little bit. We have a lot of entertainment in this line of work. If you don't know how to drink, it will be difficult to deal with others. I like to drink red wine, how about you?"

Originally, I wanted to say a bottle of beer, because I usually only can afford beer.But when Tang Xiaoru said that she likes to drink red wine, she thought it would cost more to order another wine, so she said, "Then I'm as good as you. I don't drink much, and one bottle is enough for the two of us."

So, Tang Xiaoru smiled slightly, turned to tell the waitress the brand of a red wine, and asked her to serve it in a while.The waitress wrote it down and left, Tang Xiaoru turned her eyes to me again, her extremely beautiful eyes looked at me without blinking, but there seemed to be a meaning in her eyes that I couldn't describe.

My hand habitually reached into my pocket to take out a cigarette. Seeing Tang Xiaoru's eyes, I couldn't help but wondered, "What's the matter? Is there something weird on my face?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled, shook her head, and said, "This is the first time I've seen a frugal man like you. It's not your treat, why save for me?"

I was stunned, then smiled wryly, and said: "Oh, you mean this? I... this is a habitual behavior. My family was not rich when I was a child, and I live by careful planning. Sometimes when I am poor, I can't wait for a penny Break the money into two halves and use it. Hehe, I'm sorry, let Mr. Tang see you as a joke."

Tang Xiaoru didn't speak, just looked at me with a silent smile.I still habitually took out a cigarette, and just wanted to light it with a lighter in my mouth.Suddenly, I realized something, hurriedly stopped, and asked Tang Xiaoru, "Can I smoke?"

The smile on Tang Xiaoru's face got stronger, she nodded, and said, "Yes, I don't mind."

I groaned, then lit the lighter, and smoked my cigarette beautifully.After that, it seemed that we had nothing to talk about, and the food and drinks were not served, and the scene suddenly seemed a little dull.

When I was with women, I never knew what to say, so I had to smoke to hide my embarrassment.Fortunately, not long after, the waiter opened the door again and came in, and the ordered wine and dishes were served one after another.

Dinner officially started, after the waiter poured wine for us and exited the private room.Tang Xiaoru picked up the wine glass with a smile, and said to me: "Come on, Dai Yong. I won't say thank you. After this drink, let all the grievances and grievances between us be wiped away!"

I also picked up the wine glass quickly, and said: "Okay, from now on, we have no grievances. From now on, Mr. Tang will treat me as an ordinary employee, and he will treat me as he wants!"
