Chapter 149: Lancia(1/2)
Qiushan Pavilion.
Jinling’s leading private restaurant only receives three tables of guests every day, so no matter how many masters are, they will be too busy.
It’s useless to have money to eat here, and the master only receives acquaintances.
When Chen Ran drove to Qiushan Pavilion, he almost thought he had come to the wrong place.
Isn’t this the former residence of whom?
Just as he was confused about his wrong path, the big iron door slowly opened and a gray-haired man poked his head out.
"Is it Mr. Chen?"
The old man was wearing a Zhongshan suit and his steps were slightly trembling, but he was in good spirits.
Chen Ran nodded quickly: "Yes, hello, uncle, is Qiushan Pavilion here?"
The old man opened the big iron gate, whispered into the yard, and then said, "Parking the car in the designated parking space, don't park it randomly."
"Is that really that?"
Chen Ran looked at the bronze medal on the courtyard wall to [*** Former Residence].
It is not easy to open a restaurant in the former residence of a celebrity.
After Chen Ran muttered, he drove into the yard with McLaren 720S.
After passing by two huge ancient ginkgo trees, it was a landscape courtyard, a fountain green belt in the style of the old demon city in the last century, and a parking space planned with glass sheets.
Chen Ran saw Su Xiao’s Maserati MC20, and there were two Toyota Alphas next to it. One of them had a Jinling license plate and the other looked familiar, with the license plate from the Magic City.
"Yeah, it's coming very quickly."
At the entrance of the old building, Qin Hong greeted Chen Ran.
Chen Ran looked at her and saw that she was talking on the phone with her cell phone. The two looked at each other and nodded to greet each other.
Qin Hong watched Chen Ran park his car into the parking space and said to the phone: "Zhiqian, I have a business cooperation here. I plan to pick a few trainees with driver's license from the company to participate in an outdoor activity. You can immediately pick out 10 people and send the information to me to filter."
As he was talking, Chen Ran put his hands in his pockets and walked towards her.
Qin Hong suddenly remembered something, a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, and said deliberately loudly: "Chen Ran, you are not kind. If you have any good things, you will think about smiling. Looking back, how can I settle the score with you."
When she was talking, she deliberately took the phone a little farther away, but it is certain that the person opposite the phone could clearly hear her voice.
As expected, Zhou Zhiqian's expression changed in the Demon City.
Then a familiar voice came.
"Sister Qin Hong, what are the good things you are talking about? Why don't I know?"
It was Chen Ran's voice. After dating for three years, Zhou Zhiqian was so familiar with this voice.
"Haha, you guys are pretending, go in first, I have something to do, I will deal with you later."
Qin Hong spat, her tone soft and a bit close.
Chen Ran scratched his head, not knowing what she was talking about, so he nodded: "Well, you can do it first."
After watching Chen Ran walk into the hall, Qin Hong smiled in a bad mood, put his phone closer to his ears again, and said in a normal tone: "I met an acquaintance... By the way, where did we just talk about it..."
Chen Ran entered the hall with an inexplicable look on his face, and someone immediately came forward to lead him to the second floor.
The wooden ladder handrail made of Huanghuali wood has a rich atmosphere of history, and the beautiful rhythm of the tape recorder is lingering in my ears.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance of camellia, and it was covered with a unique kitchen scent of fireworks.
When Chen Ran arrived at the second floor, he saw Su Xiao and two acquaintances, Li Xin and Chu Xi.
"Wow, the car god is here!" Chu Xi was still so lively.
Li Xin became much quieter, "Mr. Chen, we met again."
Chen Ran nodded at them.
Then, he looked at Su Xiao sitting on the sofa.
The two of them were about to part with their eyes in the air. Su Xiao looked at the ginkgo tree outside the window unnaturally, and Chen Ran couldn't help but glance at her chest... Hey, the turtleneck lining? I was a little disappointed.
···
"Miss Su, your food has been served. Lao Yuan said that he would say anything he wanted to eat, and he wouldn't come out to disturb you and your friends' meals."
"Well, okay, please thank Uncle Yuan for me."
"Haha, probably, then you eat first."
Su Xiao nodded to the woman who was delivering vegetables with a smile, then looked at Chen Ran and Qin Hong: "Eat, work matters, and talk about it after you finish eating."
Qin Hong handed the iPad in her hand to Chu Xi on the side and said to Chen Ran: "...This is a win-win plan. Brother, what else do you have to hesitate about?"
Chen Ran frowned slightly. He thought he was just having a meal, but he didn't expect it to be a serious matter.
Moreover, this incident was also an unexpected surprise for him.
Thinking of this, he looked at Su Xiao and wanted to hear what she meant.
If Su Xiao thinks the plan is feasible, then he has no reason to refuse.
Integrating into the blind date conference with a smile, he can get customer resources from Jinling and even Suzhou Province. If Li Xin and Chu Xi join, "Attack, Female Driver!" may even be on the hot search.
To be honest, he was very moved.
Feeling Chen Ran's gaze, Su Xiao looked up and said with a 'cold' look: "Look at me, what are you doing? Eat food."
As she said that, she picked up the public chopsticks and picked up some vegetables into her bowl.
Seeing this, Li Xin and Chu Xi looked at Qin Hong timidly.
Qin Hong was like a sage. Seeing that Su Xiao didn't express his opinion, she felt scruple in her heart. It was obvious that Su Xiao didn't want Chen Ran to feel embarrassed because of her, so she simply said nothing, so as not to affect Chen Ran's judgment.
As for Chen Ran, when he saw Su Xiao’s cold face, he suddenly felt a little numb.
The meal was a bit too quiet, and it was like eating and sleeping.
It’s not said that it should be said. The dishes in this private dish look simple, like ordinary home-cooked dishes, but the taste is really nothing to say.
Chen Ran had something hidden in his heart and ate three bowls of rice.
Even if he is as reserved as Li Xin and Chu Xi, he can't stop eating. If Qin Hong hadn't stared at them, he would probably have licked the soup at the bottom of the bowl.
After dinner, the kitchen also prepared mouthwash, exquisite white porcelain cover bowl, silk dragon and phoenix pattern handkerchief, and a tray made of golden nanmu, which was simply a dream of Red Mansions.
The only drawback is that Su Xiao has not spoken. Qin Hong wanted to speak a few times but stopped, and finally could only look at Chen Ran. In her opinion, this cooperation is a win-win situation, and Chen Ran has no reason to refuse.
During the meal, Chen Ran thought about many pros and cons, and the conclusions he came to were similar... He made a profit without losing money.
Since that's the case, there's nothing to worry about.
I don’t know why, but I care so much about Su Xiao’s opinion. It’s really strange.
After looking at Su Xiao again, Chen Ran said to Qin Hong: "Let's do this, I'll talk to the district with this plan. After all, the venue issues involved still need support from the district leaders. I'll give you an answer tomorrow night, how about it?"
Qin Hong's eyes lit up and he asked, "Of course, do you need me to accompany you?"
Chen Ranyu Guang glanced at Su Xiao and shook his head: "No, I should be able to handle it."
···
I sat for about half an hour and waited for Su Xiao to greet Uncle Yuan for a while.
Chen Ran was bored, so he wandered around this western-style building.
There are many photos of the past of the former residence owner hanging on the wall on the first floor, including some famous Chinese and foreign literati and patriots.
Chen Ran probably browsed and finally stopped in front of an old black and white photo.
For nothing else, it was because something caught his attention in this photo.
It was an Italian classic Lancia car. The reason why it was interesting was that he saw exactly the same one in Kang Baosheng's hidden car.
Of course, Chen Ran just looked at it and did not stay too much.
Compared to these classic cars, people of his age prefer cool supercars and luxury cars.
After visiting for about ten minutes, Su Xiao came down.
Beside her, a handsome man in his 60s and the woman who had just delivered food to them.
"Xiaoxiao, you are not young anymore. The old leader complained to me last time... You are almost the same girl, how can you hold a grudge against your grandfather..."
Chen Ran vaguely heard something he shouldn't have heard. Seeing Su Xiao looking at him, he hurried toward the door in embarrassment. He would have stopped wandering around if he had known.
When Su Xiao saw Chen Ran, his eyes turned and he hurriedly shouted: "Chen Ran, wait, come and say hello to Uncle Yuan."
The handsome old man didn't see Chen Ran at first, but then he found that someone was jogging in front of the stairs, his back was timid, as if he had done something wrong.
The woman standing aside also noticed Chen Ran, looked at Su Xiao, then looked at Chen Ran, and suddenly started to laugh meaningfully.
When Chen Ran heard Su Xiao's voice, he couldn't run out of the door directly, so he could only walk to the three of them in disappointment.
"Uh, hello."
Yuan Qiushan looked at the young man in front of him, frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Su Xiao.
To be continued...
