Chapter 6 Encounter
The two of them chatted together for a long time before checking out and leaving. After leaving the hotel, Guo Tao rode his 28th and left excitedly. Zhou Liwen wanted to call for a taxi directly, but he stood by the side of the road and waited for a while but the taxi didn't come, but he came first with a bus.
Anyway, they were all buses, and there were not many people taking the bus at night, and the bus happened to be near his house. Zhou Liwen got on without saying a word and found a seat to take a comfortable nap.
Maybe he drank a little too much beer, and Zhou Liwen fell asleep in a daze while the bus was shaking. I don’t know how long it took, but it was not until he was awakened by the electronic sound of the station. He looked out the window and realized that he had actually passed the station.
After getting off the bus before the driver closed the door, Zhou Liwen, who was standing on the platform, felt much more awake by the cool breeze of the summer night. Fortunately, he woke up in time and missed a stop. Anyway, the road was not far, so he was too lazy to wait for the bus on the opposite street, so Zhou Liwen simply followed the road and walked slowly home.
Going home from here you have to pass Betant Road. This road is close to the consulate area and is a famous bar street in Shanghai. At night, bars of all sizes are decorated with lights and lively. Because they live close, Zhou Liwen has been here a few times before. Of course, it is basically a gathering with colleagues or classmates. It is the first time that I wandered alone in this bar street. But then again, while walking, I admired the handsome men and beautiful women coming and going, as well as bars with different scenery, which is also a different kind of fun.
The people who come here to play are basically young people, and many foreigners also parked taxis on the side of the bar on the roadside. As they walked along, girls in bar uniforms would occasionally send coupons to passers-by. Zhou Liwen just smiled and refused.
The Bar Street on Betton Road is not too long, only about one kilometer away. After crossing this street, you can get home by crossing two intersections. Zhou Liwen is not in a hurry anyway, so he is walking around slowly.
When Zhou Liwen was about to reach the end of the bar street, a girl who was standing on the side of the road was sending a coupon when she saw Zhou Liwen coming and walked forward.
"Sir, this is a coupon for our store. If you spend a certain amount, you can drink a bottle of Corona for free with the coupon..."
"It's a gift to Corona again..." Zhou Liwen was speechless. He had heard such words like this more than ten times along the way, and he waved his hand to refuse every time because he had no interest. This time, he was no exception. He had seen too many sales methods like this.
"I'm sorry, I..." Zhou Liwen waved his hand habitually. Just as he was about to refuse such a promotion, he suddenly saw the girl's face clearly in the dim light.
Zhou Liwen was slightly stunned. The reason why he was stunned was very simple, because he knew this girl, of course not now, but should have been two years later. In my memory, this girl impressed him deeply. If you want to ask why, Zhou Liwen once liked this girl.
Lin Yaxuan is the name of this girl. If nothing has changed, this beautiful girl would have gone to Zhou Liwen’s unit two years later and joined the group’s foreign trade department. Zhou Liwen was still in the Asset Management Department at that time, and he had work contacts with the group’s foreign trade department. Zhou Liwen clearly remembered that on the first day of Lin Yaxuan’s report, the girl with long hair and smiles was only the first side, and Zhou Liwen was deeply attracted and fell in love with her.
However, this is a very short-lived secret love that Zhou Liwen always misses. Zhou Liwen was a little introverted at the beginning and had no experience in dating. Although he liked Lin Yaxuan in his heart, he never dared to speak. He just went to the Foreign Trade Department Office every time he went back to the office of the Ministry of Foreign Trade\u4e8

b always talks to Lin Yaxuan about something, intentionally or unintentionally.
After about half a year of contact, Zhou Liwen finally plucked up the courage to confess her love to the girl, but who would have thought that Lin Yaxuan suddenly resigned without warning. It is said that she went abroad not long after. In the following years, Zhou Liwen never met her again, and there was no news about the crowd. This relationship that had not yet begun ended without success, becoming an eternal regret in Zhou Liwen's heart.
Unexpectedly, he would meet Lin Yaxuan again under such circumstances, and two years ago they should have known each other. In short, Lin Yaxuan should be in college now, so why would he come to the bar street to do this job again? Zhou Liwen was stunned for a moment, and he had already been ready to refuse and could not say it again.
After subconsciously taking the coupon, Zhou Liwen came to his senses after hearing Lin Yaxuan say thank you in his ears. At this time, Lin Yaxuan had already turned around and looked for the next customer target.
Zhou Liwen wanted to call her, but Lin Yaxuan's name came to her mouth and swallowed it back, because to Lin Yaxuan, Zhou Liwen was just a stranger, but at this time, Zhou Liwen felt that meeting Lin Yaxuan by such coincidence was a rare opportunity given to him by God, and he didn't want to give up this opportunity again.
Looking down at the coupon in his hand, Zhou Liwen had an idea in his mind and walked towards Lin Yaxuan in a few steps.
"This lady..."
"Hello!"
Lin Yaxuan, who turned around, saw Zhou Liwen holding the coupon he had just given him, and showed a professional smile.
Zhou Liwen raised his hand and waved the coupon and pretended to chat with her easily: "This is the coupon you just gave me. I want to ask how to use this coupon?"
"Oh, the method of using this coupon is very simple. It's like this. You know that if you spend money in our bar, you can get a bottle of Corona for free with the coupon..." Lin Yaxuan smiled and explained the purpose of this coupon to Zhou Liwen, and enthusiastically told him how to use it on the back of the coupon.
"How long is this voucher valid? I am very busy at work\u

ff0c has a fixed time to go to the bar, but sometimes I come to have parties with my friends. What if the validity period is over? Also, can this coupon be used accumulated? For example, ten of us came over and spent a total of 500 yuan. If we took out five coupons, can we exchange five bottles of Corona? Or is it limited to a single consumption? It seems that you haven't printed these clearly behind the coupons..."
Zhou Liwen pretended to look at the usage method behind the coupon, deliberately making fun of Lin Yaxuan.
Perhaps the questions that Zhou Liwen asked were questions that Lin Yaxuan had never encountered before. For a moment, Lin Yaxuan didn’t know how to answer. She thought for a moment and said, “Sir, I haven’t been working here for a long time. I have to confirm with our manager what you asked. Can you wait for a while?”
"OK! No problem!" Zhou Liwen nodded generously, and took out a cigarette from his pocket and smiled: "Then please confirm it for me. I'll smoke a cigarette here and wait for you."
"Okay, wait a moment." Lin Yaxuan nodded quickly and trotted into the bar. Zhou Liwen, who was following the street tree, looked at her back as she was leaving, and took a deep breath of cigarettes, with a smile on her lips.
About a few minutes later, just as Zhou Liwen was almost finished smoking a cigarette, Lin Yaxuan finally came back.
"I'm sorry for letting you wait for a long time. I just confirmed with our manager. That's it..." Lin Yaxuan had a good memory and told Zhou Liwen one by one the answers their manager told her. Zhou Liwen pretended to listen carefully and nodded while listening, and looked very satisfied.
"By the way, our manager also said that customers like you don't actually have to use coupons as much as they need. You can apply for a VIP card in our bar. You can get this discount as long as you show the card every time you come."
"I'll forget about applying for a card. I don't know when I will come next time. Let's do this, just give me a few more coupons first. Next time I bring my friends over here, ask them if they are interested in applying for a card."
"This is OK. I'll give you 20 pictures first. Is 20 enough?"
"Enough is enough, 20 pieces are enough..." Zhou Liwen nodded with a smile, and Lin Yaxuan counted the coupons in her hand and quickly counted out 20 pieces.
"Miss, your surname is? Next time my friend comes to apply for a card, I will ask them to find you directly." Zhou Liwen seemed to say casually after taking the coupon.
"Thank you, sir, my surname is Lin, just call me Xiaolin. I will work here all these days, but it won't be long. If I'm not here, I will just look for our Manager Wang."
"Oh, Miss Lin is preparing to change jobs? Is the store's treatment not good? Or has you found a better job? I think you are very kind, serious and responsible. If I am the boss, I will definitely not let you go. Even if you want to pay, you have to stay an excellent employee like you." Zhou Liwen deliberately pretended to be very strange.
Lin Yaxuan laughed happily after hearing this: "How could it be? I'm still in college. Now I'm working part-time on holidays. On the one hand, I'll get to know the society and earn some pocket money or something."
"You're a college student after a long time!" Zhou Liwen looked very surprised. Seeing Lin Yaxuan nodding, he asked curiously: "Sorry, can you ask Miss Lin from which university? I haven't graduated for a few years, maybe we are still alumni."
