Chapter 922: Bonuses are distributed on September 21
Qu Xiao is here!
The phone still didn’t get through, but I waited persistently under the apartment building where Ning Weimin lived.
The only difference is that she brought a lot of food with her this time.
Anyone who sees the two Ito-Yokado plastic bags filled with vegetables, fruits and meat at her feet will know that they must have just been bought from nearby, and It cost a lot of money.
In addition, Qu Xiao also changed her hairstyle.
My originally flowing mid-length hair was styled into two long braids, casually draped over my shoulders, and she wore a white baseball cap on her head.
This made her already young age look several years younger, like a girl of seventeen or eighteen.
Although the clothes are a white down jacket paired with blue jeans and sneakers, it couldn't be more ordinary.
But the figure of a professional model cannot be hidden from the general public.
Even such simple clothes still make her feel feminine and charming, and in fact, she shows the advantage of being tall and slim.
So much so that it gave rise to a somewhat extreme idea that all the clothes in the world would not suit her.
Therefore she should also have the best, the most high-end, and the most beautiful clothes.
This idea is indeed unreasonable, but it is natural and uncontrollable.
In fact, Qu Xiao standing here is the most beautiful scenery.
Coupled with her youthful age, delicate appearance, fair skin, and simple temperament, she is almost 100% attractive to men.
As the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty.
No matter whether they are elderly people, middle-aged uncles, teenagers or children, as long as they pass by here, they will determine her identity as a model at a glance, and they can't help but stare at her.
Even the uniformed doorman in front of the apartment was peeking at her secretly.
Speaking of which, thanks to this being a high-end apartment, there are fewer people coming and going.
Otherwise, if he were busy on the street, Qu Xiao would probably be talked to frequently, and it would be difficult for him to be clean.
Needless to say, such a funny smile will definitely fall directly into the eyes of Ning Weimin and Zou Guodong from far away.
It is absolutely impossible to ignore or even miss them just because they were chatting happily all the way.
In fact, Ning Weimin couldn't help but take a few steps as soon as he saw her.
In a completely unexpected surprise, Zou Guodong was left behind.
"Hey, Xiaoqu, why are you here?"
Similarly, Qu Xiao also smiled immediately when he saw Ning Weimin.
"Brother Ning, I'm on vacation. Isn't it Christmas and New Year in a few days? The leader asked us to rest for a few days..."
Ning Weimin is very much like an older brother, with a sense of blame. Ask for help.
"How long have you been here? Is it cold? I didn't get through to the phone, so you just waited..."
Qu Xiao also smiled shyly, like a coquettish sister.
"It's okay, it's not cold. What does it matter if you wait. Anyway, I know you will definitely come back..."
But before he could say a few more words, Zou Guodong Came here too.
His greeting immediately broke the atmosphere, making Qu Xiao suddenly nervous.
“Hey, what a ditty. I didn’t expect that we would actually meet here.”
Qu Xiao couldn't help but feel frightened.
Just now, she was only paying attention to Ning Weimin in front of her, but she didn't see Zou Guodong at all. Doesn't this mean that there is no one in her eyes?
I'm sorry, but I was not prepared for the sudden meeting with the famous "shady leader" of Pierre Cardon Company. How could I not panic?
I stuttered when I spoke.
"Hey, Zou... Hello, Mr. Zou... you... why are you here?"
"Hi, I'm here on a business trip to help this guy."
Then Zou Guodong saw the things next to Qu Xiao and asked directly.
"Xiao Qu, are you coming from Kyoto? Are you here to treat us?"
This sentence made Qu Xiao feel even more embarrassed. She lowered her head with embarrassment, "Well "Sounded.
"I...I paid a bonus...Brother Ning always takes care of me, so...so..."
His voice became softer and quieter, until he finally sounded like a mosquito.
"Don't scare people, can you please tone down your authority?"
Ning Weimin saw Qu Xiao's discomfort and came over to help her out.
And he even reached out to pick up everything around him for Qu Xiao.
But when he looked inside, he couldn't help but blame him.
"Oh, Japanese beef, shrimps, scallops, cuttlefish, and so many fresh vegetables and fruits, Xiaoqu. You really bought a lot. You should save up after you get the bonus. It's such a waste!"
However, when he spoke, the effect was completely different from Zou Guodong's.
Even with the blame, it immediately made Qu Xiao laugh happily.
"It's okay, Brother Ning, I have extra money this time. I have already received 200,000 yen in labor fees. I take photos for magazines, you know..."
< br>"Do you know? I know that food in Japan is very expensive, and there is no discount time in supermarkets now. If you buy without asking the price, no matter how much you earn, you won't be able to spend it. Okay, okay, these things It's all mine, give me the receipt..."
Ning Weimin was thinking about Qu Xiao.
No, just a few words of reproach, and then he started to take over everything.
However, this girl Qu Xiao is also a bit stubborn and she actually said stubbornly.
"No, it was agreed last time. This time I have to treat you."
As a bystander, as an experienced person, Zou Guodong, who has already married and started a business, naturally observed Qu Xiao's attitude sensitively The transformation also revealed the subtleties in the relationship between the two people.
So he didn't want to be a light bulb anymore, so he coughed a few words to announce his presence.
"Hey, hey, I said, it doesn't matter who is treating us. Let's go upstairs first, okay?"
Following him, he reprimanded Ning Weimin.
“It’s not me, Wei Min, you are so ignorant. Xiaoqu came all the way here and bought so many things to see you. Why don’t you blame me if you don’t say thank you? Is there anyone who does things like this?”
This is not over yet, and then he expressed his support for Qu Xiao in public.
"Xiaoqu, he doesn't thank you, but I thank you. I'm not a philistine like him. I'm full of calculations. I feel wronged even if I spend an extra penny, even if the money doesn't belong to him. I support you, the most expensive thing in the world. What you want is happiness. As long as you spend money to buy happiness, it’s not expensive.”
At this moment, Qu Xiao couldn’t help but feel happy. She thanked her and her fear of Zou Guodong was greatly relieved.
I feel that this leader is not as difficult to deal with as everyone usually hears. He seems to be quite humorous.
Ke Ning Weimin is so smart, how can he bear this squeeze for nothing?
A sneer of "Hey" immediately pointed out Zou Guodong's "ulterior motives".
"Xiao Qu, don't believe him. He only praises you because you can take advantage of him. Originally, we had to eat lunch today. How could he not be happy when he saw that you actually brought so many delicious food to your door? Don't believe it? If you don’t believe me, just ask him to pay for it. Do you think he is being generous?”
Of course he was embarrassed when he said this.
Based on her identity and her different relationship with Ning Weimin and Zou Guodong, she is not refuting Ning Weimin, nor is she agreeing with him.
But Zou Guodong is not a loser or a fool. He understood what Ning Weimin meant as soon as he heard it.
He behaved very bachelorly, "I don't need money. I'm not pretending to be poor. I, the vice president of the company, just want to put it in a nice way. The little foreign exchange I can get by going abroad is not as much as the extra money I can earn from Xiaoqu." You two are richer than me. Isn't it wrong if I have to pay for it? But I won't eat for free. Xiaoqu, it's fate that we meet today. I remember your kindness. Don’t worry, I will pay it back to you sooner or later, and I will never let you lose.”
Qu Xiao is a simple girl.
When she heard these words, she only thought of the literal meaning. Isn’t it just a meal?
Why should I be so serious? My cheeks turned red in an instant, and I subconsciously wanted to refuse.
However, while smiling awkwardly, when she was trying to say what she wanted to say, Ning Weimin had already stepped in and answered for her very straightforwardly. "Hey, that's right! Xiaoqu, thank you Mr. Zou quickly. In the future, Mr. Zou will definitely take more care of you. If you have any difficulties at work or have any requirements for the company, just ask them. We, Mr. Zou, are not just The person who eats and drinks in vain! What he says is like spitting out nails. It doesn’t matter if he breaks his promise! I will help you collect the debt, and I will be the witness!”
Seeing Zou Guodong pointing at Ning Weimin and laughing and scolding, "You, you! You are such a difficult calculation master!"
Qu Xiao then vaguely understood what he just said, and then Suddenly came out of his daze.
Ouch! It turns out that Brother Ning is helping her pave the way and build a bridge...
The three of them quickly returned to the apartment and decided to have hot pot today to save trouble.
And because of the division of labor and cooperation, everyone started washing the dishes and vegetables together, and dinner was quickly put on the table.
In fact, Japan also has its own hot pot culture, called Sukiyaki.
It is a sweet soy sauce hotpot with beef dipped in raw eggs.
The taste is sweet, light, and has a unique flavor, which is especially popular among girls.
But as a Beijing native, my favorite is of course the hotpot mutton from my hometown.
It just so happened that Ning Weimin asked Zou Guodong to bring some chive flowers, soybean curd and sesame sauce.
If these things are mixed with seafood soy sauce, it will be delicious.
Then I used the sukiyaki pot that I ordered at home to boil the water, and it was all done, which was very convenient.
Especially because Japan is close to the sea, many of today’s ingredients are seafood varieties, and they are quite large.
There are also enoki mushrooms, shredded kelp, fish tofu and so on.
A table with a dazzling array of ingredients looks much richer than the domestic shabu-shabu presentation.
The only regret is that there is no mutton and coriander, which is a little lacking in the ointment.
But even so, the various fresh seafood and the texture of Wagyu beef made the three of them enjoy the meal and forget all about it.
Just like the Japanese who have never eaten mutton, these three mainlanders are also rare delicacies.
You know, beef with snowflake texture and both fat and thin is completely unavailable in China at this time.
Even if "Fat Beef Hot Pot" is included in the "Three Swords and One Ax" in Beijing, it will take a few years to appear.
Just this stuff, it was so satisfying to eat Zou Guodong who was already hungry.
Even Ning Weimin, who had eaten it and had seen it before, was also moved.
You know, today, thanks to Qu Xiao, he realized the freedom to cook Wagyu beef for the first time.
It is also impossible to refuse the happiness brought by eating and drinking this kind of fine food.
Only Qu Xiao saw that the two of them were eating deliciously, and he quickly stopped using his chopsticks.
He was very sensible in ordering ingredients, dishes and wine for them, and the waiter also served them both.
So in the first ten minutes, no one talked at the table, and they couldn't even keep up with the food.
It wasn't until Ning Weimin and Zou Guodong devoured their food that they were half full, feeling much more comfortable in their stomachs and gaining a foundation, then they stopped for the time being and started drinking and chatting.
"Xiao Qu, stop taking care of us. Hurry up and eat yourself."
Zou Guodong suddenly realized that what he was doing was inappropriate, and he felt a little embarrassed.
So he said apologetically, "I made you laugh. We are really exhausted and hungry today. That's why I lost my temper. I'm very sorry."
"It's okay. You are too polite." Qu Xiao said sensibly, "You feel good after eating it, so I can have face."
Ning Weimin quickly gave Qu Xiao a chopstick of wagyu.
"You haven't eaten much. You are too sacrificing yourself for others. Don't do this again. Don't patronize others at the dinner table. No one is as important as your own belly."
"It's okay. , I don’t have a big appetite. What’s more, my profession also requires a good figure. If I eat too much, I will gain weight.”
"You have to eat it. Ten minutes on stage and ten years of hard work off stage. It's easy for you to walk on stage and look beautiful, but it's also physical work. Look at you, you have dark circles under your eyes."
"Really "It's fake, do I look that bad?" Qu Xiao touched the bottom of his eyes with his hand and asked a little embarrassedly.
"Really, you do have dark circles. Your skin is so white, you can tell at a glance."
Ning Weimin said and put another one on Qu Xiao's plate. Freshly cooked shrimp.
“Are you very tired recently? In addition to eating well, you also need to pay attention to rest.”
Qu Xiao smiled awkwardly, lowered his head and started eating with chopsticks.
But a trace of happiness also emerged spontaneously. She understood Ning Weimin's delicacy and consideration.
However, I didn’t immerse myself in it for long and how much fun I enjoyed.
Diagonally opposite, Zou Guodong asked a question that she had to answer.
“Hey, Xiaoqu, you have also stayed in Tokyo for a year, right? Do you know if there are any places with cultural characteristics in Tokyo? This guy Ning Weimin doesn’t have much time to entertain me. Oh my god. For the sake of the company’s business, he took me to visit the Japanese business district. Apart from eating, drinking, and shopping, he didn’t even take me to any tourist attractions. , what’s it called... Ah Sentou, it’s quite interesting. I should have one more day before I finally leave, so why don’t you introduce me to some activities with this cultural characteristic...”
"That's easy. If it's during the day, you can go see the shrines and temples. The Kaminarimon Gate in Asakusa is also very good. If you can see the Japanese geisha at night..."
Qu Xiao's answer is absolutely It was the standard answer, but I didn't expect Zou Guodong to make a fuss.
"Hey, Xiaoqu, why are you bad at it? Geisha? You, a girl, can say this word..."
Qu laughed and was stunned, Ning Weimin Already the first to laugh, he couldn't help but explain for her.
"I said, Mr. Zou, do you understand? You are really ignorant. Geisha are just dancers. Japanese dance has a very local flavor. Can you not be indiscriminate?"
But even so, Zou Guodong shook his head like a rattle.
"Don't be ridiculous, I won't touch anyone with that word anyway. Don't you know that your sister-in-law is a female? A geisha? Can I afford this trouble?"
One sentence The words not only made Ning Weimin laugh again, but also made Qu Xiaozhen become a joke.
"Then... why not go to a tea ceremony? This is also a more interesting activity for the upper class in Japan."
After secretly laughing, Qu Xiao once again proposed something she thought was more interesting. Suitable advice.
But Zou Guodong thought about it, shook his head and said let it go.
He claimed to have seen it on TV. It seemed like he only had a cup of tea for half an hour, and the participants seemed to be old men and old ladies.
He, a hot-tempered person, cannot stand this kind of lukewarm cultural activity.
What’s more, traditional Japanese cultural activities require kneeling.
Even if he could bear it, his knees couldn't.
Therefore, he still hopes to do something efficient and intense...
And this makes people very embarrassed. Qu Xiao doesn't know much about Japanese culture.
Even though she has been staying in Kyoto for the past six months, she rarely goes out on the streets except for work.
So after thinking about it for a while, I really had no choice, and shook my head helplessly.
Ning Weimin thought about it carefully for a while and finally came up with an idea.
He had a plan in mind, and he quickly smiled and spoke out.
"Look, this condition is quite high. Who said it is difficult to raise a woman? You, a disciple of Confucius, are also very important. But who makes you the leader? No matter how difficult the request is, I have to do it. Let's do this. I'll book a ticket for you later and let you watch a cultural event that is exclusive to the Japanese. Although I don't know much about it myself, this thing is Japan's national sport, and other countries Absolutely not. It’s guaranteed to be cultural, intense, and lively, but it’s expensive, and I can guarantee that my sister-in-law won’t blame you if she finds out..."
After some deception by Ning Weimin, Zou Guodong was completely attracted. He didn't care about how he squeezed him, and just urged him to reveal the answer.
"Huh? There is such a good project. What is it? Hurry up and tell me!"
Not only Zou Guodong's eyes gleamed when he heard this, even Qu Xiao also blinked curiously. Big eyes.
As a result, Ning Weimin then pierced the window paper, and in an instant, the whole room burst into laughter.
Actually, what cultural activities is he talking about?
It’s just sumo wrestling!
The skill of throwing a big fat man directly into the audience...
