roses and lilies

Chapter 5 Dating

A week passed quickly in my busy work and life. Whenever I was free, I would always think of the short ear-length hair, the fashionable business attire, the sweet smile and the one who stroked the hair on the brow Habitual movement behind the ear.

I fell deeply into thinking and reverie about her. I really don't know how she feels at this moment. I look forward to her phone calls and text messages, and bear the endless emptiness after waiting in vain.

My mother saw my thoughts: "Son, don't think too much, just treat yourself like an ordinary friend, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you see that you have lost weight these days, how can you do it like this? I just met you once, and you haven't gone anywhere yet, so you can't hold your breath."

"Mom, don't worry about it!" I said impatiently.

After another two days, there was still no call from her. I thought it was not an option to wait like this. Boys should take the initiative.

So I took out her number from the phone, pressed the dial button, and after a burst of pleasant ringtones, the call was connected, "Hello! Who is it?" A middle-aged man's voice came out of the phone, and I subconsciously said Said: "Sorry, I dialed the wrong number."

Easily close the flip of the phone.When I retrieved the number and dialed again, the other party said impatiently: "Who are you looking for!", still the same voice.

I hesitated for a while, and hurriedly asked: "Oh, is Xiao Ling there?"

"Xiao Ling, wait a moment!" Immediately, the voice of "Xiao Ling, call..." came from the microphone, followed by the sound of trotting footsteps, "Hello! Hello!"

"Xiaoling, I'm Xiaowen. I've been doing well recently. I'm busy with work, aren't I?"

"Oh, it's you, no...it's nothing, it's fine!" She said with some embarrassment.

"Who was that person who answered your phone just now?" I asked puzzled.

"Oh, that's my boss, I just went to the bathroom!"

"Oh, your company must be very big, isn't it profitable?" I asked tentatively.

"No, the company is now in its infancy, and our main task now is to deploy the network."

"What kind of net is it?" I asked.

"It is to find customers. When our company enters this city, if we want to open up the market, we must first promote our products to increase our popularity.

This depends on the ability of our sales staff!If you do well, you can get a high commission on the basis of the guaranteed salary. "

"Oh, I don't see that your ability is still concealed. It must be very hard!"

"Isn't it? I can't finish running all day long, and I can't finish talking. Sometimes I can talk for a long time in order to attract a customer until the customer is convinced. Most of our employees here have pharyngitis. This is a regular medicine."

"Oh, then you often work overtime, don't you?"

"Not necessarily. When you are not busy, you will be fine in the afternoon. If you are busy or catch up with a meeting, you may have to work overtime until late at night."

"Then you are going to work overtime today, right?"

"We are adding it now!"

"That's good! You can work with peace of mind first, and call me if you have anything to do." I said goodbye to her disappointedly.

"Um".She should co-author.

After that day, we didn't contact each other for several days. I guessed that she must be a strong professional woman. I even looked up the personality characteristics of Sagittarius on the Internet, and the result I got was: yearning for freedom and being unrestrained.

I sighed: "It's tiring to be the boyfriend of a strong woman." Perhaps it was her character that moved me.

An inexplicable sense of happiness arose in my heart. I ran to the wall calendar and compared the dates with my hands. The day after tomorrow is Sunday. I think she should be free.

That night I was immersed in deep thoughts and fantasies about her again.I fell asleep with sweet dreams.

Sure enough, Sunday Ling had a rest. When she received my call, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning. She was very happy, and she cherished this rare opportunity to relax and relax after a busy week.

She thought for a while and said: "There are many styles of clothing in the commercial street, but the price is not expensive. There are not many styles of clothing in the clothing street, but the price is cheap. The gadgets in the women's street are also quite interesting. Listen to you, where are we going?" shopping?"

To be honest, shopping is a very troublesome thing for men. I seldom go to these three places. If it weren't for taking care of my girlfriend's emotions, who would come here!

I replied casually: "Whatever." "Well, let's check the time, let's go to the commercial street first. Meet in front of KFC, see you there or be square." She said heartily.

After getting out of the car, I saw a girl in pink sports casual clothes in front of KFC from a long distance away. She was wearing a pair of purple sunglasses, a dark gray sports bag on her shoulders, and a pair of white travel bags under her feet. Shoes, just like Sharapova on the court, looking around, as if looking for and waiting for the arrival of a handsome guy.

The eyes of countless boys are all on her, and she seems to be accustomed to being the focus of everyone, but the rate of turning heads is enough to show her hot charm, and I am also one of the many spectators.

But today's task is not to appreciate beautiful women. I passed by her and stopped in a corner not far from her, waiting quietly. She seemed to be waiting anxiously, and didn't even notice me. .

No wonder, who would be in the eyes of such a beautiful girl?Or maybe it was the pair of sunglasses that blocked her view?I didn't bother to look at her too much.During the long wait, I took out my mobile phone, found Xiaoling's name in the column of group information, and pressed the green dial button.

A pleasant ringtone came out, and then I was surprised to hear the familiar ringtone of "Two Butterflies" not far away. When I turned my head, it was from the shoulder of Miss Sharapova. Her back was facing me, I saw her take out her mobile phone from the bag, looked at the caller ID, and asked loudly after flipping the cover, "Where are you?"

I walked up to Sharapova and asked tentatively, "Little Ling, is that you?"

The moment she turned around and took off the mirror, I saw the familiar square face, high nasal bone, dark and bright spiritual eyes, and slightly upturned mouth. It was Xiaoling, but her hair?

I took a closer look, and it turned out to be a hairpin-style false headgear. It was this thing, this outfit and those sunglasses that confused my eyes and made me mistake her for Sharapova.

When she saw me, she smiled and asked complainingly, "Why did you come here? I've been waiting for a while!"

"Hey, don't mention it, I have come here long ago, and I have been waiting for a long time, and I am not far from you, but you are so dressed that I can't recognize you. You let me see professional women in leisure side."

"Really? You're pretty good at talking, so would you say you're more beautiful or uglier than before?"

"Don't ask me that, the eyes of the crowd are bright, don't you know if you look around?" I said half-jokingly.

She smiled, smiling so sweetly and charmingly, like a bud in bud, nourishing my heart like the nectar of spring, and even afterwards, when I thought of that sweet smile, I fell deeply into endless thoughts of her He Xia thought about it.

She is very good at color matching and style combination of clothing, and she explains with great interest, from leisure to sports, from formal wear to professional wear, from world-renowned brands, to Hong Kong and Taiwan fashion trends, and she introduces them in detail and clearly.

From her point of view, fashion has its roots, including some clothing, hairstyles, and accessories that are at the forefront of fashion, which are simply unacceptable to ordinary people. It came from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but in the final analysis, it has its roots. Fashion cannot be fabricated out of thin air, but can only be gradually improved and evolved on the basis of the original trend and development trend.

Her expression and tone of voice are so sincere and firm when she speaks, it's hard to believe it or not.

I secretly sighed in my heart, as expected of a marketing background, a small mouth can mobilize people's emotions.This kind of sincere and focused expression makes it hard to refuse.

Gradually, I brought up the topic of her work. As soon as I mentioned work, she immediately became energetic and introduced the company's overall sales model and business network. She worked hard, was proficient in business, and had outstanding performance in the company. She was appreciated by the manager. Soon he was promoted to assistant manager, and his monthly salary was increased by 3000 to [-] yuan.

The company is strictly confidential about labor and capital, and personal salary is also included in the privacy category. This is slightly different from our state-owned enterprises. The salary standard of state-owned enterprise employees is included in the scope of factory affairs disclosure. A salary table can be seen at a glance, up to the factory director and manager. , Down to the operator, this form is the one that remembers the most clearly.

But foreign companies and private companies are different. They have to flexibly classify employees according to their working ability. Sometimes the salary of a department head may be as much as [-] to [-] times that of ordinary employees. The gap is obvious. In order to prevent internal conflicts, Therefore, it is quite necessary to take certain confidentiality measures, including the red envelope sent by the boss.

Following the bustling crowds in the commercial street, we came to the center of the commercial street through newly decorated brand stores and specialty stores with different styles.

I saw a large copper-plated round coin in the center, inside which were gold and silver treasures of different shapes and sizes, shimmering and shining under the sunlight, and people stood on the big copper coin and trampled on it, looking forward to it. It will bring you good luck.

Surrounded by lifelike bronze statues of various shapes, couples are cuddling each other and taking photos with each other next to the statues, and naughty children walk around the statues, playing carefree and making noise.

This situation made us deeply immersed in it, and we couldn't think of Shu with joy.Inadvertently, a middle-aged man quickly inserted a small red thing into my jacket pocket from beside me.

Before I could react, the man said with a smile: "My little brother, you and this lady are very compatible. I noticed you just now. You two are very good at matching each other. You two are the best in today's young people." Among the highlights, the only fly in the ointment is that the young man didn't send flowers to his girlfriend. These roses can be used as tokens of love. Only 30 yuan can please a girl's heart. What a bargain!

Hearing what this person said, I felt a sense of satisfaction in my heart. Although it was a little expensive, it was the first gift I gave her after all, and it was very meaningful.Thinking of this, he took out a flower branch from his jacket pocket and handed it to her. Xiao Ling took the flower, looked at it, and smiled slightly. action.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ling stopped me with his hand, handed the flower to the man in front of him, and said to him with a smile: "Brother, thank you for your kindness, we don't need it."

As soon as this remark came out, the middle-aged man's smile froze on his face, and he quickly stuffed the flower into my hand, and said to me: "How dare my girlfriend let you spend money? Actually, she likes it very much, but she is afraid of it. You spend too much money, so let’s make it auspicious and give it 26 yuan.”

The moment I hesitated, Xiao Ling returned the flower to him again, and said with a gloomy face: "Why are you like this, we don't want it, and you have to force it, it's so boring!"

Then, she grabbed my hand and said, "Let's go, ignore him, I've seen a lot of people like this." She said angrily as she walked, "I sold cosmetics to people in the mall earlier, and I've seen this kind of situation before." too much.

A rose can only be bought for seven or eight yuan in a formal flower shop, but when it arrives at them, it becomes twenty or thirty. Isn't this a scam? "" Don't be angry, if you encounter a similar situation again, just say that we are siblings. "

I joked.Her face was flushed, and Waner smiled: "You can really figure it out!" I hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding me, and I held the hand she had just loosened tightly, and she didn't refuse , Holding hands with each other silently.

The familiar "Two Butterflies" rang again, and Xiao Ling took out his cell phone from his bag, and walked aside to answer the call.

She chattered happily.I turned around, and when I looked up, I saw an exquisite and unique flower shop. Although the shop was not big, it was surrounded by clumps of flowers. The large plaque is clearly marked with "Wanqin Flowers".

When I walked into the flower shop, a little girl asked enthusiastically: "Sir, come and see the flowers. We have a full range of flowers here and the prices are cheap. Are you sending family or friends?"

She is about my age, wearing a pair of low-slung jeans, a tight pink T-shirt on the upper body, and a pink bow tie on a neat ponytail. With short eyebrows and short spikes, a small pink mouth embedded in a pointed melon seed face, a straight nose, and thin eyebrow tattoos.

He was smiling at me, sweet and intoxicating. "Send a friend!" I replied shyly, "Is it a boyfriend or a girlfriend!" She asked tentatively.

"Girlfriend, but it's not the kind I imagined. I haven't established a romantic relationship yet. I'm just an ordinary friend!"

"Giving roses is definitely not suitable, so give lilies, lilies symbolize eternal friendship!"

"Okay, save me one!"

"Okay, wait a moment!" She smiled happily. When she smiled, my mood became refreshed, and the boring mood was swept away. It is really a pleasure to buy flowers here. Laughing from the heart, since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. In the biography of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, for Bomei people, they did not hesitate to smile for the Bomei. The ancients were like this, let alone the people of today.

I saw her holding the scissors in her tender little hands, pulling out the flowers one by one from the pot to compare the colors, the movements are so skillful, just like a beautiful fairy in the flowers, trimming and comparing, and finally the selected flowers The good flowers were wrapped in silver-plated glossy paper, and I took out two smooth pink ribbons to tie the flowers tightly, and handed them to me gently.

I took the flowers, and what came to my nostrils was a faint fragrance, which made it difficult for me to distinguish whether it was the fragrance of flowers or the body fragrance of a girl.

I handed her the money, and she handed me a business card, which clearly said "Wanqin Flower Shop", and said enthusiastically: "Sir, if you need to buy flowers in the future, just call and I will I will recommend the freshest flowers to you, and you can also enjoy discounts."

I happily replied: "Of course, the lady's service attitude is so good, why don't you worry about not having any customers?"

Walking out of the flower shop, I saw Xiao Ling was still chatting, so I walked up to her. When she saw me, she said goodbye to her and hung up the phone hastily.

I held the bouquet of lilies in front of her and asked, "Do you like it?" She was surprised at first, took the flowers and smelled them, "What a beautiful lily, so beautiful, I'm sorry to cost you. "

She blinked her big eyes and looked at me. "It didn't cost much. I just saw a flower shop and saw that the flowers were very fresh, so I bought them back. If you like them, I have achieved my goal. Let me give you a gift! Oh, yes Who called just now?"

"Our boss."

"Why is there still work on Sunday?"

"Well, yes, she said that there are some things in the company, and she wants me to deal with them. Almost, let's stop here today! See you later when you are free!"

"Then let me take you there?" I asked reluctantly. "No, I'll take a taxi to the company in a while, you go back first, thank you for sending me the flowers, I feel very happy today, thank you again!"

After we waved goodbye, she hailed a taxi and walked away.I stopped for a long time, watching her until the taxi disappeared.When I got home, I fell asleep.
