Chapter 34

Lin Xiao went early to the soup pot restaurant where Ning Qiu wanted to eat.

This store is not popular on Dianping, and few people write reviews. The location is relatively remote, in a garden.

When Lin Xiao was studying in City S, he would sometimes be invited to eat and play around, but he had never been here before, and he didn't know anything about it.

He drove around the vast garden for a few minutes before finding the soup pot shop. The soup pot shop is a Chinese-style building, built in an antique style, and blends in with the entire garden.

Lin Xiaoxin said that his brother would actually choose such a "high-end" place to eat.

Lin Xiao didn’t mean that Ning Qiu didn’t choose high-end restaurants, but Ning Qiu didn’t seem to care much about food. He basically always ate at home, or made something by himself, or ordered takeaway. He might think that going out to eat was a waste of time , and he is basically not social, and rarely contacts people other than his family and colleagues, so he seldom goes out to eat.

Lin Xiao was quite happy when he thought about his brother, although it was only a small matter.

When Lin Xiao arrived, there was no one in the store.

The receptionist was a little girl, she was taken aback when she saw him, and then she asked shyly, not daring to look directly at him, "Who are you?"

Lin Xiao said: "You two, is there a box here?"

Lin Xiao is now considered a well-known idol. He is more sensitive to the way others look at him, but he feels that the waiter doesn't recognize who he is. Maybe he just thinks he is handsome, and girls are like this. Many people are easily shy when they see him, as long as he is not a stalker or secretly filming him, he doesn't care.

The other party said: "Yes, but the box needs to be reserved, and today's reservations have already been made."

Lin Xiao was immediately disappointed. He preferred to stay in a more private space with Ning Qiu, but there was no other way, so he had no choice but to say, "Then arrange a corner seat for us."

The other party said: "Okay, this way please."

There are many carved wooden partitions in the hall, almost separating each table. Lin Xiao sits near the rear window, which is even more concealed. He is satisfied and no longer cares that this is not a box.

Lin Xiao took a picture of the menu and asked Ning Qiu what he wanted to eat. He could order it first. Ning Qiu said that he hadn't left the unit yet, and it would take at least four or ten minutes to arrive. In the Medicinal Plant Expo Garden, he can walk around and have a look.

Lin Xiao reluctantly replied to his brother: "Brother, it's almost dark now."

Ning Qiu replied in embarrassment: "It's because I didn't think carefully."

Back again: "Then you can take a stroll around the store, I saw that there are calligraphy and painting exhibitions and ancient books exhibitions, which are worth seeing."

Lin Xiao replied "OK".

Ask the waiter about the situation here, is there any place to go shopping, the waiter sees that there are no other customers at this time, the customer in front of him is tall and handsome, and his temperament is refined, and he is like ordinary people, she couldn't help but was reluctant to leave, so she sat down and talked with Lin Xiao chat.

According to the waiter, although the government invested in the Medicinal Plant Expo Garden here, most of it is private equity, which belongs to a company that Lin Xiao has never heard of. The building where the soup pot shop is located used to be a club, but because of For some reasons, it is now open to the outside world, but the soup pot restaurant is open to the outside world, but basically it only serves regular customers. The reason is that there are few people here, and other surrounding buildings and Lin Xiaowen’s "calligraphy and painting exhibition" are not open to the outside world. , is the personal collection of the boss here.

Lin Xiaoxin said that his brother came here for a meal and didn't know anything about the situation here, which really left him speechless.

However, Lin Xiao became a little suspicious again. Who did Ning Qiu eat here with before, and he also went to see the private collection of calligraphy and painting ancient books. He thought this restaurant was just for serving outsiders, so he asked himself to come here to eat.

Is it Lin Ling?or who?

One of Lin Ling's current investments is medicine, and it is only natural that he is connected with this medicinal plant expo garden.

The waiter suggested that Lin Xiao order the soup base first, because the soup base here is freshly made.Because they are remote here, they can kill and cook fresh, so the food is fresh and delicious. It is impossible to have this kind of enjoyment in the shops in the city.

Lin Xiao ordered a herbal soup pot suitable for Ning Qiu, then got up and walked around the building and its surroundings.

After seven o'clock, a lot of luxury cars gradually arrived, and the entire shop was gradually filled with customers. Lin Xiao found that although the place was remote, the business was good.

Probably Lin Xiao's appearance is too outstanding, and he wandered around in the corridor where many explanations of medicinal plants were hung, and he provoked many people to look at him.

Some people approached him specifically and asked him how to distinguish the authenticity of the medicinal plants on the display board.

Lin Xiaoxin said that I don't understand, if before, he would most likely turn around and leave with a blank stare. Now that he has been working for more than half a year, he has learned to maintain a friendly communication posture with everyone.

Lin Xiao said, "I don't understand either, I just had a look."

The other party was an uncle in his forties, with good clothes and accessories, but Lin Xiao also found that all the guests here were not ordinary working people, so it was not surprising that the person who struck up a conversation was someone of value.

The other party said with a smile: "This display board seems to be changed frequently, and it was not like this last time I came."

"Oh." Lin Xiao said, "It's my first time here, so I don't know."

The other party asked: "What do you do for work? Are you still in school?"

Lin Xiao is a young idol. Although idols who are 20 years old are considered "old" nowadays, it is naturally different for Lin Xiao to invest in his own money.So idols have nothing to do with age, but more to do with looks and money.

Lin Xiao doesn't wear formal clothes very much, and his dressing style is more trendy, frigid or sporty.

He was wearing a black and white style of frigid style today, which made people feel that his aura was detached and unforgettable at first sight. If he wore a sports style, it might not be particularly noticeable.

Lin Xiao said: "I am working in the direction of cultural communication."

The other party was obviously not from the circle in this direction, and didn't understand Lin Xiao's meaning at all, but pretended to understand, nodded and said, "Oh. Is it from the cultural propaganda department?"

Lin Xiao: "..."

Lin Xiao said, "No, I'm from an entertainment company."

The other party suddenly realized: "I said that you look so outstanding, and you look like a star."

Lin Xiaoxin said that I'm not that famous yet, but he happily accepted the other party's flattery. He smiled and asked, "Are you waiting for someone too?"

The other party said: "Yes. Someone invited me to dinner, they are still busy, and they have to wait for a while."

He asked Lin Xiao's name again, and asked about some things in the entertainment industry.

Lin Xiaoxin said that he didn't expect such a middle-aged uncle to gossip like this. Seeing the other party's elegant posture, he was not too rude, so he mentioned his name and some jobs in the entertainment industry, but he didn't want to talk about other people in the industry. Personal affairs, and said: "In fact, we may have contact at work, but basically we don't know about those gossips. We also read gossip online, so I don't know too much."

The other party asked again: "Then how much does it cost to invest in TV dramas and movies like yours? It's the real cost, not inflated?"

Lin Xiaoxin said, does this person still want to invest in the film and television industry?

Because of the millions of watches in the other party's hands, Lin Xiao also talked to him a little bit, and the other party said that he benefited a lot after hearing it, and wanted to add Lin Xiao to WeChat.

Lin Xiao also added it to his appearance.

The other party introduced himself again, and he was the boss who worked in the field of equipment that Lin Xiao didn't understand at all.

The two talked for a while, and they had a very happy chat, and Ning Qiu finally arrived at this time.

Ning Qiu came over from the front porch and saw Lin Xiao chatting with someone, so he said: "Lin Xiao, you have been waiting for a long time, I was already driving in the garage, and I was called back to review a parameter. I'm sorry, you are very sorry Are you hungry?"

Lin Xiao naturally put his arms around his shoulders and said, "I'm fine. I'm not hungry. I've already ordered the bottom of the pot. I heard that the bottom of the pot here has to wait for more than an hour. It's just right to eat now."

Ning Qiu looked at the man who was talking nonsense with Lin Xiao before, and Lin Xiao introduced him. The other party's surname is Peng, and he is the president of a certain company.

Ning Qiu and the other party nodded, and Lin Xiao took a step away.

Mr. Peng looked at Lin Xiao and Ning Qiu's leaving backs with deep eyes, and didn't dare to ask the leader who asked him how long it would be until dinner, so he continued to look at the display boards boredly.

**

After sitting down and eating, Lin Xiao looked at his brother, showing a happy and uncontrollable smile, and asked, "Brother, why do you want to eat here?"

Ning Qiu scooped up the pigeon pork ribs in the soup base for Lin Xiao, handed him the bowl, and slowly scooped it up for himself, saying, "I ate here last time and found it delicious. Their manager is very enthusiastic, If you have to add WeChat and send messages during festivals, I think I’ll eat it again, otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of promotion for others?”

Lin Xiao: "..."

Lin Xiao was speechless, thinking that it would be fine if you just delete the manager.

He dipped the meat in the seasoning and ate the meat, which was indeed very delicious. He said, "This place is really delicious. But it's so remote here, how did you find it before?"

Ning Qiu: "Last time it was a classmate dinner party, otherwise I wouldn't have found such a place. Besides, I think it's so remote and the environment is okay. Are you not a public figure now? It might be better to come to such a remote place to eat .”

It seems that his brother also understands it very well. Lin Xiao asked: "Which classmate? High school? University? Graduate student?"

Ning Qiu: "You don't know them all. They are from high school. There are several of them."

Lin Xiaoxin said that Ning Qiu's high school classmates were also Lin Ling's classmates.

Lin Xiao: "Didn't that sister come?"

Ning Qiu: "They originally asked me to call me Lin Ling, but Lin Ling is on a business trip to country A. If she wasn't here, she wouldn't come."

Lin Xiao: "Is it a male classmate or a female classmate?"

Ning Qiu was about to answer, but suddenly stopped, and said, "Is there any difference? They are all the parents of the child. Speaking of which, it seems that your sister and I are the only students in our class who are not married."

Lin Xiao: "...But if you have a boyfriend, you are considered married."

Lin Xiao stared at his brother, speaking very seriously.

Ning Qiu was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes, yes."

Lin Xiao laughed again.

Ning Qiu said: "I looked at our high school classmates, and it seems that I am the poorest."

Lin Xiao: "..." His brother actually realized that he was "poor".The monthly salary is just over 1 yuan, plus various bonuses, and the annual salary is about [-] yuan. How can it be possible to be poor.He now knows every penny of his brother's money like the back of his hand.

Lin Xiao was not surprised by this. Their high school is a private middle school, and the tuition fees are simply unaffordable for ordinary people. Unless they have particularly good grades, they will be exempted from tuition fees, so those who can be classmates with them may have Blessed by a good family background, or blessed with a smart mind and excellent grades, in this case, it is very, very rare to be as poor as Ning Qiu.

But Lin Xiao didn't dare to take Ning Qiu's words seriously, but said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and you are doing well now. Your work cannot be measured by money."

Ning Qiu pursed his lips and laughed twice, knowing that Lin Xiao was deliberately flattering him, but he never thought that Lin Xiao would say such things.

The two returned home, and as soon as they entered the house, Lin Xiao hugged Ning Qiu tightly in his arms.

Ning Qiu has long been used to it, he raised his head to meet Lin Xiao, and was immediately kissed on the lips.

The two hugged and kissed in the hallway, unwilling to let go of each other.

After a while, Ning Qiu let out a low cry and complained in a low voice, "You bit off my tongue, don't want it, let me go first."

Lin Xiao didn't respond, but chased him and kissed him again, his lower body pressed against him tightly, pressing him against the cabinet in the hallway.

Ning Qiu was about to be out of breath, his whole body was hot, and he softly refused: "Go take a bath first, my legs are so numb."

Only then did Lin Xiao let him go, hugged him and let him sit on the cabinet, staring at him infatuatedly, "Brother."

Ning Qiu hugged him tightly again, panting with his face buried in his shoulder. Even Ning Qiu, who rarely pays attention to other people's appearance, has to admit that Lin Xiao has become more and more beautiful recently. Xiao Peng, who was chatting in the corridor, suddenly felt a little sour for some reason.It was a strange feeling.
