Chapter 8 You don’t wear hearing aids?
The house near Chengsi Company is not big, more than 200 square meters, but it is enough for Lin Xi to live alone.
She only brought back two suitcases from abroad, and her uncle had not sent her other things for her. She had fewer things and packed them in less than an hour after sending them away from Qin Yu.
Knowing that she had moved here, my aunt came here specially the next morning to help her prepare daily necessities.
While fiddling with the vase, my aunt asked about her current situation in the company these two days.
"How about a new job? Are you still used to it?"
"It's all pretty good, you don't have to worry too much."
After confirming that she was not uncomfortable, my aunt talked to her about other things. "The marriage between your third brother and Song Ning has not yet been decided."
Lin Xi's hand holding scissors tilted, and a piece of flower branches was cut.
She pulled the corner of her mouth and put the rose in her hand into the vase, with a casual tone, "Are they engaged before?"
My aunt didn't notice the strange thing on her side and continued to say to herself: "I said I had to settle it a few years ago. I also said that Xixi could not come back to participate abroad. Later, I didn't know what happened, but it has been delayed until now. But it just so happens that you can catch up with it now when you return to China now."
"Um."
"Hey Xixi, you probably haven't seen Song Ning yet, right?"
Lin Xi didn't answer.
Speaking of the Song family, she didn't know much about it. She only knew that Song Ning's father was in politics. Because he moved to Beijing a few years ago, Song Ning and Qin Yu were college alumni and had a broadcasting experience in college. Now they are the hosts of a program on the Beijing General Station.
"You juniors have a good time. Haven't your third brother mentioned marriage?"
"I just returned to China and haven't seen him a lot."
"That's right." Aunt nodded, "How are you doing with Lu Bei recently? He was late last time because of work. I look good at that child. Although he is not as calm as your third brother and others, he is also very good."
When it comes to this, Lin Xi has a headache.
"Let's talk about it later, no hurry."
"How can that be? You're about to be twenty-five, so it's time to talk to one." My aunt didn't want to urge her to get married at first, but she thought that the elders at home are old, and when they are gone, Lin Xi really has no relatives.
"The people in the yard are much older than me, so Brother and the others have not yet settled down."
The aunt angrily said, "I'm talking about them again. I really have to urge them, otherwise you have to use this to swear me."
From childhood to adulthood, Lin Xi habitually brought Cheng Si and the others out to block the gun. Because she was the youngest in the yard, every time she mentioned them, the elders would not hold her to her.
After escaping another disaster, Lin Xi shrugged with a smile, not taking this matter to heart.
——
On Friday night, Feiyun Technology's R&D department got off work early because Lin Xi was going to treat her to dinner.
Everyone didn't know where she chose. She thought she was just a simple meal, but she didn't care too much. When she arrived at the place, the group stood blankly on the side of the road, looking up at the magnificent entertainment club opposite, shocked to the point where she couldn't even close her mouth.
"Lin, Lin Gong, do we want to, do we really want to have dinner here?" Chen Gong was frightened and stuttered, looked at each other with several others, looking at each other.
This can be said to be an exclusive place for wealthy families in Beijing. It is located in the most lively business district in Beijing. Legend has it that a membership system is implemented here, and just one "entry ticket" costs up to one million. Most people don't dare to take a look after it, but they don't even say they can enter.
Lin Xi walked in front and replied, "Well, it's close to the company, which is more convenient."
Everyone: "..." Is this an inconvenient problem for Fang?
Seeing her so calm, everyone suppressed their uneasiness and quickly followed.
At the door, the waiter who had been waiting for a long time immediately came forward when he saw Lin Xi.
"Miss Lin, good evening." After saying that, he made a "please" gesture to her.
There was silence in the lobby, and there was no noise except the sound of footsteps.
The waiters standing on both sides smiled and bowed all the way, and greeted Lin Xi, "Miss Lin, good evening."
The group looked around curiously as they walked, and were frightened by the scene.
Behind him, Lin Xi's assistant and other colleagues whispered: "The internet says that a lamp here costs millions, and I don't know if it's true..."
"It's true, ma'am." The waiter in front turned to her and said, "At present, all the lamps you can see in the lobby are customized privately, and these chandeliers are indeed worth millions."
Hearing this, the few people took a breath and looked at Lin Xi with a little more careful look.
Lin Xi has been in the job for a week, but they don’t know her. They only know that she is very familiar with Mr. Cheng and has experience studying abroad. As for family background, she has never mentioned it. Many people took the opportunity to test it, and she avoided talking about it.
Because it was too mysterious, there were many different opinions in private, and she guessed that she should have some background, but she didn't expect that her identity was so difficult.
——
In front of the elevator, the waiter just pressed the button. Lin Xi stroked the beads on his wrist with his fingers and looked ahead with a calm look.
The elevator door next door opened first, and people came out one after another. Immediately afterwards, a female voice sounded: "Lin Xi?"
The sound sounded familiar at first glance. Lin Xi frowned slightly and turned her head to look over. The woman opposite was wearing a small strapless dress with exquisite makeup.
"Song Ning?! Are you Song Ning?" Before Lin Xi could reply, the assistant behind him was already excited.
Song Ning smiled: "I am Song Ning, hello."
"It's really you! I like your show so much! You are more beautiful than on TV!"
"And I! I like you very much!" Other colleagues hurried over.
"Thank you, you are also very beautiful." Turning his head, Song Ning looked at Lin Xi again: "It's really Xixi. When did you return to China? Qin Yu never told me."
Lin Xi had no expression on her face, and she said "um" lightly, and then the following text disappeared.
He looked like he didn't know Song Ning.
Seeing this, a group of melon-eating people suddenly calmed down and looked back and forth on the two of them. A few seconds later, the assistant dared: "Mr. Lin, do you know Song Ning?"
Lin Xi looked ahead without giving them a look, and only replied: "I have seen it, but I'm not familiar with it."
The two of them have a clear judgment on their attitudes. One is enthusiastic and the other is indifferent.
The assistant realized something and quickly shut up and dared not speak.
Song Ning took a step forward and glanced across Lin Xi's ears, "I just realized that you didn't wear a hearing aid to go out. Can you hear it with your ears?"
"It seems that the speech is much smoother than before. Unlike before, you can't even speak, which makes people feel distressed. Over the years, you have changed so much, and you have become more beautiful."
This message was too much, and several people held their breath and silently acted as the background board.
Finally, Lin Xi's calm face had a hint of expression. She hugged her arms and turned toward her face, raised her eyebrows to meet Song Ning's gaze.
"It's not as good as Miss Song. Seven years have passed, but you have not changed at all. Your mouth is still as unpleasant as ever."
