City People [Rebirth]

Lu Jia stood in front of the full-length mirror and asked Zhou Heyi to tie him.After a tie knot that completely conforms to the aesthetics of a tie and looks flawless from any angle is finished, Zhou Heyi tied it again for herself.He was picky about the mirror in every possible way, moving it back and forth, trying his best to look like the golden ratio from any angle, before walking out of the house with Lu Jia.

Lu Jia sometimes feels that although he doesn't have a girlfriend, Zhou Heyi can make him feel what it's like to have a girlfriend—the feeling of emptiness when he waits for her to dress up for a long time without doing anything.

Both of them were wearing formal attire, but it wasn't very serious, it was a little casual.They were going to see the opera La Boheme.

Zhou Heyi likes bel canto, he likes to watch operas and musicals, and occasionally ballet and other performances that he is interested in, he will also go to see them.The Haicheng Grand Theater has related performances all year round, but Zhou Heyi, who is picky, can go to see them. Counting the whole year, he only goes once a month. If he meets someone he likes very much, he will buy tickets for consecutive days. See enough.

Lu Jia was forcibly dragged out by Zhou Heyi.Wouldn't it be too lonely to go to the Grand Theater alone, but everyone around you came in twos and threes?Zhou Heyi used to watch alone, and never felt anything wrong, but now, without Lu Jia coming together, when he saw a scene that excited him, there was no one to exchange glances with.

Lu Jia felt that what Zhou Heyi liked was dispensable, and he would not take the initiative to read it, but if Zhou Heyi dragged him to watch it, he would not feel bad.Art is common, and the appeal of the scene is always unparalleled. Thanks to Zhou Heyi, even Du Zhixuan praised him and said that he feels that he has become more cultured recently.

The lights of the theater were turned off at the beginning of the performance, and the stage with the light source suddenly became the focus of the stage. Paris and the lives of poor artists in the last century.

The troupe performing here is the famous Akshiron Troupe. The cast has long been famous, and the conductor has been on the stage for 40 years.Today is naturally the first show that Zhou Heyi favors the most, because "The Bohemian" has been famous for a long time, and it is thanks to the good cooperative relationship between Lu Li Company and Haicheng Grand Theater that they can get the first-class seats. To get an internal ticket.

At the end of the performance, Zhou Heyi sat lazily in his seat and was unwilling to get up. His hands were red from the intense applause just now.He turned his head and asked Lu Jia, "Did you get the tickets for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"

"I got it, you can enjoy watching it."

That's right, Zhou Heyi plans to watch this opera for three consecutive days, but he can come alone tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Because of Zhou Heyi's procrastination, there were very few people in the theater when the two walked out. When they walked through the corridor, there was a very disharmonious scene in front of them. It was a pair of men and women who had overwhelmed their seats and were kissing. Not far away, There was also an awkward cleaner who was about to clean up the theater.

The woman showed half of her face, and her eyes narrowed slightly as if intoxicated. When Lu Jia passed by, she met her knowing eyes.

Zhou Heyi naturally saw this look.He didn't know these two people who were in trouble, and he also knew that Lu Jia would not have any ambiguous relationship with women under other people, but his eyes were full of bad water.Waiting for them to get into the car, Zhou Heyi asked curiously: "Who are those two people?"

"That man is Wang Zheshao."

Zhou Heyi suddenly understood: I really didn't notice it just now, it's this time, and he really has this leisure time. "

Wang Zheshao, the young master of the Wang family who was regarded as a typical young master of the Wang family when Lu Jia was a child, is not too young now, and his family business cannot be kept. He is obviously a very shrewd person, but in recent years, the family business has been selling. The sale of the house, the mortgage of the mortgage, but I didn't expect to have time to go to the opera with my lover, and I did it while still in the theater.

Besides, other people may not know why Wang Zheshao's career is in a mess in middle age, but Lu Jia knows it, and he has often intervened.

The woman next to Wang Zheshao was the pregnant woman that Lu Jia met in the bookstore when Lu Jia sent Du Zhixuan to the Sacred Heart Hospital for a physical examination. At that time, she had a big fight with Wang Zheshao on the phone, saying that she would never abort the child, and ended up going out Just fell outside the hospital.

That child was not kept.

That woman, Su Chaochao, instead returned to Wang Zheshao's side and became his most trusted pillow. Even with the helpless acquiescence of Wang Zheshao's parents, the two got married directly.

After getting married, Su Chaochao gave birth to another child, who was very much loved by the Wang family.

Regrettably, Lu Jia, as a part of the participants, knows two truths. One is that Su Chaochao will reconcile with Wang Zheshao just to get revenge on him. The other is that the very beloved young master is not Wang Zheshao's kind .

When Lu Jia revealed the relationship to Zhou Heyi, Zhou Heyi frowned and said incomprehensibly, "Why does Su Chaochao hate Wang Zheshao? It's not Wang Zheshao who made her fall."

However, even though Zhou Heyi said this, he also understood in his heart. Combined with what Lu Jia told him, Su Chaochao's conversation before the miscarriage, the sentence "Wang Zheshao, you are a fucking bastard! Let me tell you, I must give birth to this child", Either this Su Chaochao had true feelings for Wang Zheshao and was looking forward to the child so much that he was completely disappointed in his behavior, or she had big plans and was not afraid of being left out if she insisted on giving birth to a child.

It doesn't matter whether it's for anger or for profit, Lu Jia doesn't really want to pursue whether Su Chaochao is out of true hatred, as long as there is benefit.

He still remembered the way Su Chaochao approached him and asked for cooperation.At that time, she had already cultivated her body. Perhaps she knew Lu Jia's character, so she didn't say any false words. The first sentence was "I saw you in the bookstore", and the second sentence was "Let's cooperate." .”

He didn't understand Su Chaochao's character and ability, but Su Chaochao came prepared and made a condition that Lu Jia could not refuse.Lu Jia agreed under consideration. Of course, the real cooperation started after he got to know Su Chaochao better.

Now Zhou Heyi wanted to ask him the details, but Lu Jia smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know soon."

Zhou Heyi pursed his lips, trying to show off, but then realized that he had something to hide from Lu Jia, so he guiltily stopped asking.

……

When the annual meeting of the Haicheng Catering Committee was held, I was hungry, and as a member unit, I had to attend.At this annual meeting, the awards for the top ten restaurants in Haicheng this year will also be announced.

Lu Jia was sitting in the front row seat, dressed up by Zhou Heyi's hands, she was also personable, mature and stable, and upon closer inspection, she was also gentle and kind as jade, as if she had been with Zhou Heyi for a long time, and she had also acquired a little bit of his extroverted personality. Charm, only when he smiled and raised the corners of his lips, could he discern that naturally undisciplined and slightly evil temperament.

When the awards were announced, there was no exception, and one of the top ten was hungry. Lu Jia stepped forward to receive the trophy and read the thank you speech written by the secretary. absent.

But no one would say that he was wrong, at least they dared not show it directly.Although Jijia Catering is a rising star, after several years of development, there are more than 50 branches in Haicheng alone, and it is also expanding in the surrounding provinces and cities of Haicheng. The turnover in the past few years cannot be underestimated. No one dared to put on the airs of a senior in front of him, let alone that the current Lu Jia had another layer of double identity.

It is difficult to go public, and it is even more difficult for catering companies to go public. The members of Haicheng's catering committee are all local catering companies, including almost all large and small catering companies, including many time-honored brands that existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Among the member units of the company, only one can be listed. It is a time-honored brand supported by the government and is often used to receive foreign guests. The listing time is also short, only more than five years.

However, Lu Li Company, a company with a strong family business atmosphere, was one of the second batch of listed companies in that era.Although the success of a company is not determined by whether it is listed or not, it has to be said, who does not have a dream of going public in a business?

Lu Jia is no exception.

Lu Jia did not attend the party after the annual meeting because he was not interested in the party.As long as he doesn't have to do things that are not of interest to him, he will not force himself.Although this is very willful, Lu Da rarely has the capital of this willfulness.

He gave the newly obtained trophy to Li Moli and asked her to put it in the trophy collection room of Jijia Company. There are already many trophies in there, but today's award is not in his eyes.

Just last month, Lu Jia was named "Excellent Catering Entrepreneur in Haicheng" by the Haicheng Cuisine Association. At the same time, Jijia Catering was named "Excellent Catering Enterprise in Haicheng". "The most popular gourmet restaurant", but none of these can move Lu Jia.

Although Haicheng is a big city, it is quite remarkable to be able to achieve these titles in just a few years, but Lu Jia is not satisfied. What he really wants is not something that can be satisfied with the title of "Haicheng". , if the prefix is ​​"Hua Guo", he will be really excited.

The name of Jijia Catering was not included in the list of the top [-] catering companies released by the China Cuisine Association this year. Of course, it is a bit presumptuous to start thinking about this list now, so Lu Jia never said come out.

Only Zhou Heyi knew that Lu Jia not only wanted to be on this list, he even wanted to be on the top ten list!
