Chapter Twenty Eight(1/3)
But I still turned off the phone immediately, because I couldn't say heartless words in front of her. As for her, she didn't understand my inner situation, so she would definitely continue to call me, and once I
If it was revealed that she was at home, she would definitely come running over.
In fact, the most fundamental reason why I did this was not because she looked ordinary, nor was it because she used to be my colleague. The most important reason was that she was married, and her husband was a man of a certain status. I didn’t want to offend her.
trouble.
Having a relationship with her was already a mistake, it was completely the result of impulse. So I regretted it, so I must correct my mistake. Although I am still lonely and lonely at the moment, I especially need a woman in my heart.
To soothe the unspeakable loneliness at this moment, but I must restrain myself and never be impulsive again. Some people say that impulsiveness is the devil, but at this moment there is a devil in my heart that is eager to try.
Sleep. After falling asleep, the devil in my heart was suppressed by me.[
The effect of alcohol made me fall asleep quickly, and more importantly, I stopped thinking about it.
The next morning I woke up at the same time as usual and opened my eyes. I looked outside and found that it was dim, so I persuaded myself to sleep for a while. However, I couldn't fall asleep again. I rolled on the bed several times and still felt so sleepy.
So, I simply got up and went to the kitchen to cook myself a bowl of noodles.
Opening the phone, I suddenly found a lot of text messages on it——
Dai Qian's: Why? What did I do wrong? Why did you do this to me?
Zhong Feng’s: Why are you turning off your phone? The phone is out of battery? Call me right away after changing the battery.
Dai Qian's: I understand, you don't like me. I won't look for you again. Why are you men so affectionate? I want to drink.
Zhong Feng's: Okay, then call me as soon as you wake up tomorrow.
Dai Qian's: I can't sleep. Can you please just ignore me?
...
Reading these text messages made me upset. Especially the text messages from Dai Qian, I felt scared after reading them. I wanted to reply to her several times but gave up the idea. I told myself: Under such circumstances,
You must deal with it decisively and show your emotional side.
I went to the study room to find a magazine, and then ran to the bed again to let myself enter the warmth created by my own body temperature. I lay on the bed and started reading the magazine.
I found that I had changed and wanted to sleep as soon as I started reading. Later, I actually fell asleep.
It was the sound of the phone that woke me up from my sleep. Without looking, I picked up the phone from the bedside table and started to answer, "Hello..."
"It's me, Zhong Feng." It was her voice that came from the phone.
I suddenly woke up a lot, and immediately lied: "Oh, it's you. I drank too much last night and fell asleep."
She immediately laughed on the other end of the phone, "Tell me, why did you go to bed so early?"
I asked: "What's the matter?"
She said: "Didn't I ask you last night? Have you thought about it? Help me come up with ideas."
I suddenly had a headache, "I can't think of it. I'm sorry."[
The joy in her voice suddenly disappeared, "Well then, you come to my place for dinner at noon, and I treat you. Let's analyze it slowly together. Feng Xiao, can I call you by your name? I
I really want to treat you as a friend. I know you are very powerful. You have reached such a position at such a young age, so you can definitely help me analyze it. Right?"
I couldn't laugh or cry, "This..." Suddenly, I remembered something, "Is this good? I'll call another person, the director of the Department of Health who had dinner with me last night. He might
I can help you analyze what Governor Huang’s words mean.”
She immediately became happy, "Okay. That's great."
I suddenly thought of a possibility, "I'm not sure, what if he has plans for noon today?"
She said: "You can make a phone call first and then talk about it. It's only a little after ten o'clock, so there's still time."
So I called Director Zou next. It suddenly occurred to me that his reason was not because of Zhong Feng's affairs, but because I wanted to take this opportunity to wish Director Zou an early New Year. Because my parents said they would come, and I
I want to spend more time with them during the Spring Festival.
In fact, this New Year greeting is very simple, that is, I just give him something. I have prepared the things, and now I need to find an opportunity to give them to him. I don’t want to go to his home, as that makes me feel a little restricted.
I feel that I am tired enough, and I make things so complicated just because I don’t want others to think that I am too snobbish.
After the call was dialed, I immediately asked him: "Director Zou, are you free at noon? Can we have a meal together? I would like to wish you a happy birthday in advance."
He smiled on the other end of the phone, "Xiao Feng, why are you so polite? Didn't you already give me New Year greetings last night? There is no need to be so polite between us."
I smiled and said, "That's right. In my heart, I will always be your subordinate."
He smiled and said: "No need really. Thank you, Xiao Feng, I appreciate your kindness. I have to have a meal with the director of the Ministry of Health in person at noon today. I was already rude last night."
I thought: This is true, it seems that he is really not free. I said: "The main reason is that my parents are coming during the Spring Festival, so I want to spend more time with them. Director Zou, let's do this. I will check the time later, and then
Come to your home sometime."
He immediately said: "Xiao Feng, I'm not being polite to you, you really don't have to. You were able to think of me last night, which already makes me very grateful to you. I appreciate your thoughts, really. We are friends, and we will have friends in the future.
Just get together more often when you have free time. Let’s not talk about those false etiquette.”
After hearing what he said, I stopped insisting, and I really didn’t want to make things too complicated. I was thinking: in the final analysis, this matter is just an attitude of mine. Since I expressed my intention to him,
It was enough when we arrived. So I said, "Okay. But I'm embarrassed."
He laughed "haha" on the other end of the phone, "Xiao Feng, thank you. You are a very friendly person, which I particularly appreciate about you. That's it, let's have a drink together at another time."
I suddenly remembered what happened to Zhong Feng, "Director Zou, wait a minute, I want to ask you something. Yesterday, Governor Huang told the owner of the restaurant that she could do better there. What does that mean?
Ah? Haha! Don’t get me wrong, that boss Zhong and I are friends, and she insisted on asking me this question, but I couldn’t understand it, so I had to come and ask you.”
He said: "This question... I also heard it last night, but I didn't think about it in detail. Well, wait a minute, let me think about it... Well, this may be the case: Huang Sheng
I feel that although the quality of her place is not bad, it still needs improvement. For example, if a leader like him wants to go to dinner, it is best not to be seen by ordinary people. In fact, it is the same with us. If we are often seen by others in a certain restaurant,
The impact of going in and out of the restaurant is not bad. Yes, it must be like this. Yesterday, Governor Huang already saw that the boss was your friend, so he reminded her that if she improves the place, we can do it in the future
I often go to take care of her business."
I was a little confused, "I still don't quite understand. What do you mean..."
He smiled and said: "She can build a special passage there, and then build a few better private rooms in one place, so that the leaders will not be discovered by others when they go to eat. In the end, it is like that
Like a high-end club, it only accepts a small number of people with special status. In this way, her place will quickly become famous, and people with status will feel that it is an honor to have a meal there, and
This will also make the place very mysterious, which will be good for the publicity of her entire restaurant."
It dawned on me, and I thought that people who are big leaders are different. This method will not only give Zhong Feng new profit growth points, but also make her existing business better.
In fact, many places are doing this kind of marketing now. For example, in some restaurants, the boss there will hang a photo of himself with a celebrity on the wall to show off in order to attract more people to dine. The celebrity effect has a lingering effect on us ordinary people.
Many people always hope that they will be lucky enough to meet that celebrity when they eat there one day, or they blindly believe that places where celebrities have been must be good.[
What Director Zou said about creating a place where only a small number of people can go to eat will not only give those few people the possibility of going there to spend money, but it will also increase the mystery of the entire restaurant.
Mystery is more attractive than celebrity effect. It is said that there are several such private restaurants in Beijing, and the owners there are either famous university professors or direct descendants of royal relatives. This is not the most important thing.
The most important thing about the sexual factor is that it is said that the people who go to eat there are all of high status, and if ordinary people want to go to that place to have a meal, it is simply hard to find. If you don’t pay hundreds of thousands for a meal, it is impossible.
No, and you have to make a reservation one month in advance. This is the true meaning of 'not seeking the best, only seeking the most expensive', and 'the taste is what you eat'.
I thanked Director Zou repeatedly.
Then I thought about it again, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that Director Zou’s analysis made sense. Then I called Zhong Feng.
To be honest, I have a good impression of Zhong Feng. It's not because she is Wu Yaru's friend, but because she looks too much like Zhong Yayan, my former patient.
To be precise, my former patient Zhong Yayan is not my friend. In fact, she is also a miserable woman, at least her love life is like that. She is my patient and the first clinical trial subject of my scientific research project.
, then she went abroad, and I don’t know her situation until now, but I care about her very much in my heart, because I really want to know her current situation, not only because of the project, but also because of the project.
To put it this way, her affairs affect me in many ways: first, she is a witness to my relationship with Zhao Menglei. The first time I met Zhao Menglei after many years was at her restaurant. Second,
I remember eating there not long after I met Tong Yao. Thirdly, her restaurant is now in my hands and is run by Tong Yao’s mother... All of these things made me fall in love with her.
With gratitude and remembrance.
Zhong Feng looks so much like her, so I immediately felt a love for her.
After the call was connected, I said to her: "Director Zou is not available at noon, and everyone is very busy recently. But I asked him about this matter, and he analyzed it for you..."
Immediately, I told her Director Zou’s analysis and my opinions, and finally I said: “I think it should be like this, and I also believe that doing it this way will definitely help your development there.”
She suddenly became excited on the other end of the phone, "Ah, yes! That's it! As soon as you said that, I suddenly remembered it! This is the thought that I once had about being single but couldn't remember it for a while!
Great! Feng Xiao, come here at noon and let’s have a meal together. Okay?”
I hesitated and said, "No need, right? Haven't I already told you everything you want to know?"
She said: "Let me beg you, okay? You must come, and I still have things to discuss with you. That's it, I'll wait for you."
I was a little surprised, "What else do you want to discuss with me? Haven't you made everything clear?"
She smiled and said: "I won't tell you now. You must come. You will know when you come. Anyway, it is a good thing."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Okay."
In fact, I didn’t agree to her request out of curiosity, but I had to find a place to eat at noon. Now I feel that the most uncomfortable thing is the weekend. Weekends make me feel like I have nothing to do. Do I have to be like this?
Like the old director, he went fishing every weekend to kill time? I thought with a wry smile in my heart.
Business at Nanyuan Restaurant was not very good at noon on weekends. There were only a few sparse tables of people eating in the spacious hall. Zhong Feng and I sat at a small table in the corner of the hall. She ordered a few of her special dishes.
