Honey Like Sugar GL
Chapter 83
The lights in the room are soft and white, and the overall decoration is in the style of the Republic of China. At first glance, there is nothing eye-catching, and it is similar to what you see on TV. But if you look closely, you will find that there is style everywhere. There is a square nanmu table in the center of the room. With a set of purple sand teapot tea set.
"Miss He, please sit down." Jiang Hai led her over, raising his hand in a gentlemanly manner to guide her.
He Qingrou nodded, but did not sit down out of politeness.
Lin Mingqing wasn't here, the room was empty, she didn't ask any question or showed any look of doubt or impatience, she waited quietly, Jiang Hai stepped aside, didn't explain a word, stood straight with her back straight, as silent as a sculpture .
The old-fashioned clock is ticking, ticking, and the time is passing by every minute.
After standing silently for about 10 minutes, He Qingrou felt her legs were a little stiff. She took a look at Jiang Hai.
She was also full of patience, she still didn't ask the reason, just waited.
In less than a minute, the door suddenly opened, Jiang Hai's expression suddenly became respectful, and he turned to the side. He Qingrou's back tightened, knowing who was coming, and he followed the trend.
The man standing at the door was tall and well-dressed with no wrinkle on his neckline. He Qingrou couldn't see his appearance clearly because of the light behind him, but even a few meters away, he could clearly feel a natural calmness. Wei's momentum.
"Director." Jiang Hai shouted, nodding his head politely.
Lin Mingqing only took one look at him, and he understood, withdrew and took the door carefully.
This posture made He Qingrou inexplicably nervous. She pinched her knuckles, her face still calm.
Lin Mingqing walked into the light, and gradually revealed his whole face. His facial features were straight, his nose was thick and his eyebrows were thick, and his face was shaped like a Chinese character. Just looking at it like this, he felt very ordinary, but his eyes were full of sharp deterrence. Coupled with his serious expression, he was quite serious.
Tang Jinyu looks cold on the surface, but certain actions can still reveal tenderness and concern. Lin Mingqing is different, his whole body exudes sophistication and majesty after soaking in the mall for many years. A private interview, as soon as he appeared, instantly turned into a business negotiation .
"Hello, Uncle Lin." He Qingrou spoke first. The person in front of him is both a boss and an elder. He came here today for a private matter, so he should be addressed as an elder.
Lin Mingqing didn't respond, but walked closer and raised his hand slightly: "Sit—"
He Qingrou didn't move, she didn't sit down until he sat down first.
She didn't say much, and waited for Lin Mingqing to speak with the attitude of a junior, but Lin Mingqing was not in a hurry to get to the point.
"I heard from Lao Song that Ms. He opened a tea shop." He said, his face was still indifferent, and there was no emotion in his tone.
He Qingrou nodded: "Yes, it was opened in the middle of the year, and it is convenient to buy goods from my hometown."
"Linmang Mountain is rich in good tea," Lin Mingqing said, "Ms. He must be very good at tea."
He Qingrou didn't dare to answer immediately, thought for a moment, and said gently: "You can call me Xiao He."
The two short conversations were not much different from the interview with Song Tianzhong back then, but the other party's reaction was quite different. Lin Mingqing was almost ungrateful for the set, almost silent.
He Qingrou felt uneasy and a little embarrassed, not knowing what he was going to do.She straightened her back and looked at the other party neither humble nor overbearing. Lin Mingqing's expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end. There was no sign of joy or anger, and there was no slightest contempt in his words or deeds.
It seems that this is the negotiating field where he has been stunned for many years and has been able to do a job with ease.
"I..." He Qingrou hesitated for a while, breaking the silence, "I'm not proficient in tea art, but only know a little bit, far inferior to Mr. Song, you..."
Before he finished speaking, the door opened, and Jiang Hai came in with a tray containing steaming boiling water and tea leaves.He Qingrou shut up wisely, Jiang Haiwei got down and put his things down, and then went out, Lin Mingqing made a "please" gesture to her.
He Qingrou understood and straightened up to make tea.
"What do Miss He think of this tea?" Lin Mingqing asked suddenly.
The tea leaves are rolled by water, and the aroma is overflowing, and even a layman will know whether it is good or not.
"Very good." He Qingrou replied, since she didn't know much about tea, she didn't talk nonsense.
Lin Mingqing stared at her, turned over a cup and put it right: "No matter how authentic the tea is, it must be paired with a good tea set to show its aroma."
He Qingrou paused, and heard the meaning of his words.
"If you have a good tea set, you need someone who can make tea." She said softly, poured tea, and handed it to Lin Mingqing with both hands.
Lin Mingqing took the cup and took a sip.
"Miss He's tea art is still a bit lacking." He pointed out something else, and there was something in his words.
Lin Nai is the tea, the Lin family is the tea set, and He Qingrou is the person who makes the tea.
He Qingrou didn't mind what he said, and said very calmly: "Tea art can be learned slowly, but you can't become a master overnight."
Lin Mingqing's eyes froze, and he said calmly: "Without talent, you can't become a teacher after three to five years of study."
He Qingrou nodded, respectfully said: "You are right."
She was not surprised at all, but the words were ugly, and she did not show the slightest expression of anger, as if she was really discussing tea art, and she couldn't hear the insinuation, Lin Mingqing's punch was like hitting cotton.
He put down his teacup, speechless for a while.
He Qingrou lifted the pot to refill his glass.
"Where did you go in Nancheng yesterday?" she asked.
Lin Mingqing put on a high air and didn't answer.
"There are a few old shops on West Street that specialize in handmade food. There is Minguo Street in the western suburbs. If you are interested, you can go and have a look." He Qingju said, "Many movies are filmed there, which is very good .”
"Chinese New Year is coming soon, it should be very lively." She added, putting down the teapot.
Lin Mingqing didn't answer, and remained silent for a while, then gave her a sidelong glance, and said, "Manager Yao said that you have done a great job this year."
He Qingrou was startled and looked at him.
"At the beginning of March, the company and the German side have a talent exchange plan, and they are already selecting candidates. If you are interested, you can recommend yourself for a try. The company is now striving to train the younger generation. This opportunity is rare. Try to go to the top while you are young. .” Lin Mingqing said.
He said it casually, as if he was really giving advice to the younger generation, but in fact he was making a condition - to go abroad to exchange for gold plating, obviously to separate the two.
Even a long-distance relationship is hard, let alone a long-distance relationship.
Hearing the threatening meaning in his words, He Qingrou squeezed the cup tightly, smiled, and verbally agreed: "Yes, I will try it, thank you uncle for reminding me."
Lin Mingqing couldn't tell that she was perfunctory, knowing that she didn't accept this condition, so he didn't continue.
He was talking nonsense, most of the time it was He Qingrou who was talking, and he didn't care if the first round failed, and he occasionally threw out two conditions intentionally or unintentionally, and He Qingrou blocked them one by one.
Lin Mingqing didn't bluntly say "you leave my daughter" or "I don't agree with you being together". On the contrary, he acquiesced in the relationship between He Qingrou and Lin Nai, and every condition he gave was just to temporarily separate the two. And there is no mention of Lin Nai.
He Qingrou thought of countless scenarios for meeting each other, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
It's like two swordsmen wanting to compete, instead of fighting swords, just sitting in a tea shed and showing off, how strange it looks.
She couldn't figure out what Lin Mingqing was thinking.
Lin Mingqing suddenly went back to the online store, and He Qingrou didn't hide anything, and answered whatever he asked, for example, when he asked how to buy goods, He Qingrou truthfully answered that Father He was helping.
Lin Mingqing lifted the teacup: "It's always more convenient to have someone to help at home."
He Qingrou's heart suddenly tightened, and he probably guessed the deep meaning in his words, as He's father had said so before.
But He's father said it more bluntly. At that time, the father and daughter had just had a quarrel, and He's father was sitting at the door of the house smoking leaf cigarettes, talking about his worries, to the effect that He Qingrou was so impulsive, what would happen when he got old? manage.
She was young and vigorous at that time, how did she return?
——There are nursing homes for old people.
But now she wouldn't answer that way.
"Yes, it's not easy to go out." She avoided this topic, and reasoned with an elder with old ideas, especially a strong elder, and never thought of being able to reason with the other party.
Deep-rooted thoughts cannot be developed in a day. Similarly, they cannot be changed with a single sentence. The more she explains, the easier it is to cause quarrels and resentment. All she can do is try to leave a good impression on Lin Mingqing.
Lin Mingqing looked at her and said nothing after all.
Both of them have their own considerations. From the very beginning, they never thought of convincing each other. Now they can't reach an agreement, and there is no tense atmosphere at all. The peace is too peaceful.
"Tomorrow will be Xiaonian," He Qingrou said with a smile, "Do you have time, do you want to have a meal together?"
Lin Mingqing's face froze. He was so busy with many things that he even forgot this day. In fact, even if he remembered, it was useless. Lin Nai was not here, and Tang Yuyu was not here. To him, it was just an ordinary day, nothing special.
He didn't speak, it was a refusal, or maybe he didn't want to talk to He Qingrou anymore.
He Qingrou was sensible, so she didn't ask too many questions, she picked some random words to chat, but Lin Mingqing was cold and indifferent, and didn't answer much.
After chatting for more than half an hour, He Qingrou left Heshun Mingfu, and Lin Mingqing asked Jiang Hai to send her off.
At the door, He Qingrou stopped Jiang Hai: "Excuse me, I drove here, so let's go here."
Jiang Hai sent her to the parking lot, and then went back to the second floor.
In the room, Lin Mingqing was resting with his eyes closed. When he heard the sound, he didn't open his eyes. He only ordered: "Change the ticket to the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment, Lin Ming and Qingming had a meeting... But he didn't ask any more questions, he responded respectfully, and went to do it right away.
"Miss He, please sit down." Jiang Hai led her over, raising his hand in a gentlemanly manner to guide her.
He Qingrou nodded, but did not sit down out of politeness.
Lin Mingqing wasn't here, the room was empty, she didn't ask any question or showed any look of doubt or impatience, she waited quietly, Jiang Hai stepped aside, didn't explain a word, stood straight with her back straight, as silent as a sculpture .
