Aquaman sends the scumbags to the crematorium

Recently, the negotiations between Joe's and the Adler Group have reached the final stage, and the representative of the other party is a difficult Englishman who demands more tricks.I don't like to talk about business in the office or at the dining table, but I like a secluded coffee shop, and the coffee tastes weak or strong.

After thinking about it for a long time, Qiao Mochuan decided on Verdelite, the most frequented place.After all, it is close to the company and the environment is quiet, and he still has a fixed reserved private room there.

After finally negotiating the matter, he sent the British representative away, stepped out of the box slowly with long legs, and heard a soothing and pleasant piano sound coming from the corner.

Qiao Mochuan's footsteps stopped, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he noticed the change of the piano sound almost immediately.

He is very familiar with this coffee shop. The taste of coffee has remained unchanged for many years, and the aroma is always a special smell. Even the pianist is a full-time employee hired for a long time at a high price. He has never changed for so long, and his playing style has always been very fixed.

But this one now—

He stopped unconsciously and listened carefully.

There is basically no problem with the overall technique and control, each note falls to the ground, and when the tune is melodious and melodious, the sliding of a series of notes seems to stick together, making people hardly notice the beating of the fingertips.

What stands out more than these, however, is the amazing expressiveness conveyed through the progressive superposition of melodies, which can almost be said to be first-rate.

The corner of Qiao Mochuan's mouth twitched, and he walked around the pillars of the corridor with great interest, and looked towards the round platform through the lattice in the middle of the coffee shop.

I saw a slender young man sitting tall and straight by the piano. From this angle, the movement of his fingers could not be seen clearly, only his focused side face and the smooth movement of his wrist, like rolling hills.

The sound of the piano poured out from his fluttering fingertips, and the brisk melody seemed like a mountain spring.And his expression was intoxicated, he nodded slightly according to the rhythm, his feet lightly stepped on the pedal, and there was a trembling aftertaste all around, which was as pleasing as a picture scroll.

Qiao Mochuan's pupils shrank suddenly, it was that Lin Jianxi again!

Again and again, again and again, is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Qiao Mochuan never believed in coincidences. After all, what he is best at is creating coincidences, so many guesses crossed his mind, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

"Why did you change the pianist here?" He asked the manager directly and asked directly.

"Young Master Qiao, you know that the original piano master Xiao Wu is not in good health, and this time he fell ill very suddenly, so we temporarily found a part-time job to take over for a while." The man nodded and bowed his head and explained.

"Well," Qiao Mochuan raised his eyebrows noncommittally, "How long has he been playing in Verdelite?"

"It's been a while. I'm a college student. I've always been serious about my work. It's not easy to work while studying." The manager had a good impression of Lin Jianxi, so he couldn't help but say a few more good words.

Is it really an accident?

Qiao Mochuan's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression gradually deepened.

"Young Master Qiao, it's him... doesn't he play to your liking?" The manager felt a little uneasy when he saw his complexion.

"No, it's pretty good, I like it very much." Qiao Mochuan glanced at him meaningfully, "I'm done playing this part, let him come to my private room."

"Ah?" The manager was stunned, hesitant to speak.

But under the man's extremely menacing eyes, he didn't say anything in the end, and nodded in response.

So after Qiao Mochuan drank half a cup of coffee calmly, Lin Jianxi finally appeared.

Perhaps it was because of the absence of the staggered lights of the bar, his beautiful face looked a little alienated at this time, more noble than before, he really looked like a young master from a famous family.

"Mr. Qiao, what can I do for you?"

The moment he saw the person, Lin Jianxi seemed to pause for a moment, but his attitude quickly returned to the previous calm, as if the unhappiness of the previous few days had never happened.

"Sit down first," the man made a friendly "please" gesture, "I'll order for you."

Lin Jianxi couldn't help frowning, but before he could speak, Qiao Mochuan added in a low voice: "It's an apology for being rude that night. I drank too much, and I offended you."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Lin Jianxi's face changed slightly, she pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, I'm just drunk, I can understand."

"That's good." The man leaned forward, with a rippling smile, "You play the piano so well, since elementary school?"

"I learned a little in the club, and it's just a hobby." The young man withdrew half of his body while talking, his tone was lukewarm, and his resistance to communication was obvious.

Qiao Mochuan didn't care, and his attitude was still enthusiastic. He raised his eyebrows and praised, "Then your talent is too great. If you cultivate it well, you might become a pianist. But——"

He dragged his tone, and his eyes showed a bit of sincere worry, "Aren't you too tired to work two jobs like this?"

"In fact, the work intensity is not high, and I also like the working atmosphere here."

After the two chatted for a while, Lin Jianxi finally lost his composure, and said with a distressed expression: "Sorry, Mr. Qiao, my rest time is almost over, and I have to continue working."

"Don't worry," Qiao Mochuan immediately stopped him, with a slight smile in his eyes, "I have already told your manager that I will buy the rest of your time today."

However, these words seemed to have touched the minefield of the young man. He stood up from his seat almost immediately, and his tone became stiff.

"Mr. Qiao, I think you should be clear that even the boss can only buy the value created by the employees, not the time of the employees."

"Of course, but the value you create is serving customers, isn't it?" Qiao Mochuan took a sip of his cold coffee and looked at him calmly.

Hearing this, a flash of anger flashed in Lin Jianxi's eyes, but he tried hard to restrain it, and said in a deep voice, "Sorry, my service is limited to playing the piano, and the rest of the value is not for sale. "

"I still have to work, so take your time with the coffee." He nodded slightly forbearance and politeness, and then his face darkened the moment he turned around, leaving only a slender, tall and proud back.

Qiao Mochuan had seen such a back view more than once.But this time, he didn't feel angry, but rather interested.

The more he wanted to prove that this man could be obtained with money, the more he realized that he couldn't.And probably because of what happened that night, now Lin Jianxi is full of defense against him.

Like a very vigilant hedgehog, with sharp thorns all over its body, making people feel inaccessible, but involuntarily giving birth to some strange desires——

What would it be like if he was willing to expose his soft belly for you to knead?

Qiao Mochuan's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and when he was about to reach the door of the private room, he suddenly said: "The third movement of the Bruderis Sonata in G major that you played just now has a bar wrong."

Lin Jianxi's feet stopped.

"But you reacted very quickly, and improvised a paragraph immediately afterwards, but the second half was not harmonious enough, and some places could be more perfect."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jianxi immediately turned her head. Although she didn't speak, her eyes were obviously brighter than before.

Seeing this, Qiao Mochuan frowned slightly.

It seemed that he had found the right way to break through this person's psychological defense.

Now that he has left a bad impression on him, he might as well go to the bottom, so that as long as he makes a slight change, he will rebound from the bottom!

Qiao Mochuan moved the completely cold coffee aside, "Actually, I have an idea for an adaptation."

Sure enough, Lin Jianxi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but stare round, and asked dully, "How to change it?"

Like a little hedgehog seeing his favorite jujube, he uttered a cry of joy, but he was worried that the fruit was poisonous, so he only dared to carefully stretch out his fleshy paws to test it quietly.

The association came out of nowhere. Qiao Mochuan quickly put his fist against his lower lip to hide the smile that was about to overflow from the corner of his mouth, and said with a relaxed expression, "I'll play it to you later, if it satisfies you..."

He raised his chin lightly, his words coaxing, "How about we just make friends?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to respond, he got up and strode out of the private room, and walked towards the grand piano outside.

The other customers in the café were so absorbed in their own business that no one noticed that the pianist had quietly changed.Qiao Mochuan sat down on the piano bench in a suit and leather shoes, then turned his head and looked at Lin Jianxi from afar.

His eyes are amazingly bright, as if he only pretends to be one person, and only plays for that one person.

The young man who was being watched firmly pursed his thin lips slightly, and raised his hand uncomfortably to move the broken hair on his forehead, avoiding his scorching gaze.

The corner of Qiao Mochuan's mouth curled up, and he quickly looked away and started playing.

His slender and strong fingers lingered lightly or heavily on the keys, first he played a part of the original song deftly, and when the first wrong sound came out, Lin Jianxi's eyes widened suddenly.

The melody played by the man at this time is actually exactly the same as the improvisation that he made just now!

Even if he tried it again, it would be difficult for him to play the chord that came at his fingertips, but Qiao Mochuan only listened to it briefly, but he could reproduce it perfectly!

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the piano changed sharply, and the emotion conveyed also changed suddenly. The rapid bounce of each pause had a special meaning, just as domineering and strong as him.

But if you listen carefully, it's just right, the melody is as smooth as flowing water, the rhythm is easy to handle, and the slight flaws in Lin Jianxi's original tune are also removed. It is indeed a more mature adaptation.

When the song was over, Qiao Mochuan withdrew his hand, a trace of satisfaction flashed across his face, but when he looked back, he found that the young man had long since disappeared.

He put so much effort into playing for others, but the other party didn't even finish listening and just ran away?

Qiao Mochuan immediately frowned in dissatisfaction, and was about to call someone to find him, but at this moment the secretary called, saying that there were urgent documents in the company waiting for him to deal with.

He had no choice but to suppress the displeasure in his heart and planned to leave first, but he was stopped by the manager before taking a few steps.

"Uh, Young Master Qiao, I'm sorry to bother you." The man's face was obviously restrained, and he seemed to find it a bit difficult to say, but he still smiled and said: "It's that Xiao Lin who played the piano, he...he ordered you a drink venskab."

He actually didn't know what Lin Jianxi was up to.

Who is Young Master Qiao?The biggest customer of the coffee shop usually has a reserved private room here, and the consumption is directly billed. Does he need a part-time pianist to pay for what he wants to drink?

But when he thought that Mr. Qiao called someone to go to the private room, the two seemed to be having a good conversation, and maybe there was some unknown friendship, so he bit the bullet and did it.

But Qiao Mochuan couldn't help but twitch.

Venskab, a Danish flower and fruit tea, was once a special drink for royal warriors after a duel, representing the recognition of each other's strength and the determination to turn enemies into friends.

Therefore, this was simply an awkward and silent softening by Lin Jianxi!

It turned out that he slipped away without saying a word for this reason.

It really fits his temperament.

The manager at the side saw his strange eyes and kept silent, thinking that he was offended by Lin Jianxi's inexplicable behavior, fearing that he would be implicated, he laughed dryly and prepared to blame him.

"Oh, this Xiaolin is really true. I told him that you don't drink tea but only coffee, but he insisted on not listening, and said, said..."

Qiao Mochuan raised his eyebrows lightly, "What did you say?"

"He said it would be better if you didn't drink it." The manager glanced at the man cautiously, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Hahaha--"

Unexpectedly, Qiao Mochuan laughed happily immediately, even his whole chest trembled slightly. He didn't restrain his smile until he saw the terrified expression of the manager next to him, and said, "I'll drink."

"You help me pack, and then, say thank you to him."

"Uh...Okay." The manager replied dully, feeling even more confused.

Is this the so-called fun?The world of the rich is really incomprehensible.

After Qiao Mochuan left, Lin Jianxi, who was hiding in the corner, reappeared, looked indifferently in the direction the man left, and then sat back in front of the piano and continued working without distraction.

Qiao Mochuan was different from Lu Wenfeng, he was a man who was proud and conceited enough, even for Bai Yueguang and Lin Yu, he would never ask for anything.Properly letting him hit a wall can certainly arouse his competitive spirit, but it is too much.

So, let you taste a little bit of sweetness first today.

Don't be too sad when I hit you hard next time.

The author has something to say:

Qiao Mochuan: The prey is hooked.

Lin Jianxi: Well, the prey has taken the bait.

Update early today hehe
