Chapter two hundred and eighty-eight wine and ask you a word(1/2)
The victory in the comeback battle of "Jinglu" once again showed Gu Yongsheng's unparalleled popularity, and the publication of "Journey to the West" once again proved the countless possibilities of Gu Yongsheng's creation.
"Writing martial arts is ahead of us. When all of us were determined to take him as our goal, he turned his pen and started writing myths again. Only then did we realize that he was also a master of reasoning and fairy tales."
When Duan Dao read the serialization of "Journey to the West", he commented on the microblog and mentioned the almost omnipotent Gu Yongsheng, with both admiration and helplessness in his tone.
"For Gu Yongsheng, we certainly cannot be opponents, we are afraid that even the challenger will not be qualified."
At the Beicheng Hotel, the "Jianglu" celebration meeting, all the editors gathered.
"I used to think that the most interesting place for everyone's gatherings was the hot pot city. Later, I gradually realized that it was necessary to come to such a high-end place."
After everyone sat down in separate seats, Liu Jingting explained the reasons for choosing North City.
Xu Qing asked: "Then why choose Beicheng? There are many high-end hotels near the office."
"I've been here when I talked to Xingyue TV about things. I feel the food is pretty good, and the environment is relatively good, quiet, suitable for everyone to chat."
Xu Qing smiled and didn't continue talking.
Liu Jingting confessed: "Okay, I admit, I have a membership card here."
Everyone smiled.
At this time, two waiters in red uniforms entered the private room. They first glanced at everyone present, and then the slightly thin waiter reported the price limit for the private room with a expressionless face.
As soon as the thin waiter finished speaking, Yang Lilu, Kang Lingyue and others frowned, and Yang Lilu whispered: "The attitude is so bad."
Liu Jingting was slightly stunned, then turned around and said, "Can you please change two waiters?"
The two waiters were shocked. They had seen customers expressing dissatisfaction, but had never seen such a frank statement. The waiter said in an official manner: "The work of each staff member in our hotel is arranged and there is no way to change it. If you are not satisfied with our service, you can appeal to the manager."
It is neither humble nor arrogant, polite and concise, fully demonstrating the quality and demeanor of a five-star hotel.
Xu Qing then continued, "Then let's order food." She shook her head at Liu Jingting as she said.
Liu Jingting smiled and said nothing, giving up his plan to continue pursuing the investigation.
Another slightly fat waiter handed a white tablet to Xu Qing and asked casually: "Is there a membership card?"
Xu Qing looked at Liu Jingting: "Where is your membership card?"
Liu Jingting took out his wallet from his pocket. Then he pulled out a black membership card. The front of the card reads Beicheng Hotel, and below it is a large golden diamond.
When the two waiters saw the membership card, their faces changed slightly, and there was a faint panic in their eyes. The thin waiter asked with a trembling voice: "What do you call me sir?"
"He's called..." Chang Youdao was about to answer the conversation. Liu Jingting quickly interrupted and said, "Let's order food."
"Okay." The two waiters looked at Xu Qing with a look of hesitation.
Seeing this, Xu Qing smiled and handed the tablet to Liu Jingting. Liu Jingting hurriedly stopped him and said, "Aunt Qing, hurry up."
Xu Qing looked at the waiters with a look of "I have to do this" and then continued to order dishes. The two waiters looked even more uncomfortable.
Xu Qing asked everyone for their opinions while reporting the name of the dishes. After ten minutes, Xu Qing handed the tablet over to the fat waiter. The fat waiter took the tablet and said politely: "Okay, please wait."
Then the two waiters left the private room and gently brought the door to the room.
"This is too rude to look down on people!" Chang Youdao said first.
Xu Qing said: "This is so angry that we are talking about. Since we choose this place to eat, we should be prepared because this is the reality. Didn't Xue Muliang write about his own experience? He went to buy shoes from a certain brand. He asked, how to wash shoes in the future, but the salesperson told her directly that if we need to wash them, it is recommended not to buy them. Because other people's shoes will not be worn in dust."
"We are the editors." Kang Lingyue said, then turned to look at Liu Jingting: "Hey, rich man, why don't you talk?"
"It doesn't matter, this kind of thing," Liu Jingting said as if nothing is wrong: "Because the irrelevant actions or words of irrelevant people affect their mood, it's too unworthy. I'll just pass it."
"Of course you can do this. If you get a national limited black card, it will scare people to get cramps in their calf. It doesn't matter." Xu Qing said incisively.
"Aunt Qing, I want to defend myself. It's not what you said. If I hadn't seen Ling Yue and Banxian unhappy just now, I would have kept shut up. It has nothing to do with what card it has. It seems to each other that everyone is the supporting role in the other party's eyes, and it doesn't matter at all, so it doesn't matter at all."
"Okay, you have a high level." Xu Qing spread her hands.
Everyone was chatting when they suddenly heard the knock on the door again. Liu Jingting said in surprise: "Have the food served?" Then he turned around and replied: "Please come in."
A short and fat man in a suit and tie pushed the door open and saw Liu Jingting, criticizing himself first: "I don't know that Mr. Liu is here today and is negligent."
Liu Jingting suddenly felt that he had chosen the wrong place, and then he bit the bullet and greeted the fat manager. The fat manager was obviously well aware of this. Whether it was self-introduction or compliment, he would stop it and would never make the other party feel uncomfortable.
Before leaving the venue, the fat manager politely sent a personal business card to every customer present, and finally left a sentence "The food is ready soon" to open the door and leave the house.
As the fat manager said, not long after he left, he really started serving dishes, and another advantage of the black card was confirmed.
Because everyone has just come into contact with each other and is not very familiar with each other, the atmosphere at the celebration meeting cannot be very warm. However, there are cold jokes about Wang Liu Jingting and Xu Qing, who is knowledgeable, will not be a mess. In general, it is relatively stable.
Of course, this is before drinking.
Half an hour later, a bottle of red wine came to the bottom, and Green Pepper and Xiao Qingyu, who had been quiet, both began to speak.
The topic of jumping finally fell on the core character Liu Jingting. Everyone was curious about when the sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would be released. Liu Jingting answered truthfully: "It must be after "Journey to the West."
After "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", of course, it was "The Return of the Condor Heroes". Liu Jingting had thought about the serialization of the three-open magazine. But he soon thought of another question. "The Condor Heroes" is not an ordinary book. What is unusual here is not about its title of "Love Bible", but the foreseeable and once caused an uproar, which will inevitably cause riots among book fans again - Yin Zhiping's problem.
Now I want to do TV series and participate in the World Message Competition. Liu Jingting really doesn't want to implicate people.
...
After dinner, Xu Qing took the initiative to ask Liu Jingting to take her back to her residence, and the "I have something to tell him alone" written on her face dispelled others' idea of replacing Liu Jingting.
Liu Jingting thought it was a magazine business, but it was not until he got into the taxi that he realized that he was very wrong.
"I saw it all at Weiming Lake that night." Xu Qing went straight to the point. "If you two really cooperated and knew each other well, if I was myopic, I would be fooled by you."
Liu Jingting smiled awkwardly and was speechless.
"Don't just smirk, what do you think in your heart?"
"Um?"
Xu Qing glanced at Liu Jingting and said, "Don't pretend to be confused to me. I told you the first time I saw you. I must ask about it, especially after observing for so long, I have to take care of it."
Liu Jingting felt his head big and said, "I really don't know it very well."
Xu Qing said in a deep voice: "It is not an excuse to not know. Since you did that thing to Lulu that night, you can't continue to be unclear, otherwise you will be irresponsible."
Liu Jingting smiled bitterly and said, "I have apologized to her, and she..."
"Nonsense!" Xu Qing said seriously: "What do you want her to do? Liu Jingting, I warn you, no matter how big a writer or a powerful independent director you are, you want to go to find someone else on two boats and want to bully Lulu, I can't agree no matter what."
"Peding on two boats?" Liu Jingting was stunned, and then tried to speak hard. Finally, he found that he was speechless.
Are you really stepping on two boats?
Xu Qing shook her head and said, "This is a common problem for you men, especially a young and famous writer like you, who wishes all the girls in the world will surround you."
Liu Jingting still shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"When I first met you, I asked you, do you love the girl in America? Or are you just grateful to her and feel that you must like her?"
Xu Qing obviously did her homework and collected some information.
Liu Jingting was silent for a while and replied, "Aunt Qing, you don't know my situation, and I can't explain it clearly for a while, or I can't explain it at all. If you insist on knowing an answer, I can only say that I really haven't thought about whether to love someone or not."
"So, you just don't love it?"
Liu Jingting turned his head and looked out the window, and after a moment, he said, "Aunt Qing, I can't tell you the most accurate answer now."
“When will it be possible?”
Liu Jingting sighed and said, "After I determine the answer to a question."
"When is that?"
"ASAP."
"Definitely time!"
“Before December.”
"good."
The taxi happened to reach the place.
"Xiao Liu, don't blame me for being aggressive. You can figure out this kind of thing earlier, it will be a good thing for you guys."
After getting off the bus, Xu Qing's attitude changed: "If I were Lulu or that Mihu, I would ask you these words in person."
"I know Aunt Qing."
"Well, the most taboo thing about emotions is to drag it out, and it is important to cut the mess quickly."
...
For half a month, Liu Jingting did not contact Hu Xiaomi and kept a sufficient distance from Yang Lilu, and no longer joked casually like in the past.
Others think that this is because he is too busy, so he doesn't care, but Yang Lilu notices it, but she can't ask the reason no matter what, because from a certain perspective, the current pattern of getting along is the state she has been explaining to Liu Jingting before.
Serious, polite, and keep a distance - that is, ordinary friends.
Everything was as I asked, but I couldn't be happy at all. Instead, I became irritable and irritable, especially when he said "thank you", "please" or "trouble" to him, I really wanted to kick him hard.
What's wrong with this?
Yang Lilu was embarrassed to ask Lin Xun, who was thinking about the performance every day, so she had to muster up the courage to ask her aunt, but her aunt said in a foggy way: "I'll know in a few days."
Yang Lilu became more and more confused and almost forgot her upcoming birthday.
