Journey To the World of Film and Television Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Short-sighted

Finish walls and black tiles, people who sleep on the river.

Crossing the covered bridge, Zhou Ji took Si Teng to a coffee shop by the river.

Not far away, a familiar figure with plain makeup came from the corner of the street, went down the stone steps under the bridge, and got into a black-covered boat.

Wearing a fashionable white windbreaker, the self-confidence revealed from the inside out seems to be a bit out of place with this misty town.

"Ma'am, would you do your nails?"

Zhou Ji withdrew his gaze, and the waiter who came with two cups of coffee pulled out a price list from the tray a little awkwardly, and secretly glanced at the beauty in cheongsam who was looking sideways at the window, amazed by Si Teng's cold and arrogant temperament, and at the same time I was also taken by this temperament, and I spoke weakly.

Zhou Ji glanced around and said with a smile, "Do you also have nail services here?"

Zhou Ji had a gentle attitude and seemed to be easy to talk to. The waiter nodded quickly and explained: "This is a special feature of our store. Customers can have manicures while drinking coffee, which is convenient for everyone." Perhaps it was because Zhou Ji and Si Teng misunderstood, and the waiter added: "Don't worry, sir, our nail art here is professional."

The waiter said, and then roughly repeated what he said to Wang Manni last time. Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing and said, "You seem to admire this little director Zhang?"

The waiter blushed, and quickly said: "No, that's not the case. Since he came to our town, our town has become better and better. It's not just me. In fact, everyone in the town respects him very much."

The waiter became more proud as he talked, and introduced to Zhou Ji, "Director Xiao Zhang is a very good person, and he graduated from a prestigious university with a master's degree~

Excellent ability and good popularity, if he stays in a big city to find a job after graduation, with his ability and popularity, he will definitely be able to enter a particularly good company and have a good prospect.”

I learned from the waiter that this young man named Zhang Zhi finally chose to return to his hometown and took the position of the director of the town's planning office, helping the town develop tourism resources, clean up river channels, renovate the town's appearance, and even The trivial matters of each merchant are adjusted by themselves.

Word of mouth and popularity in the town are particularly good.

In the awning boat, Wang Manni's impression of Zhang Zhi was extremely bad.

Huhai had to deduct a lot of money when she returned from work one day late. If the delay was too long, the previous customer would be poached by other sales, which would be an unbearable loss for her.

This time, she was tricked by her mother into going on a blind date. Although Wang Manni said she was reluctant, she still held a trace of fantasy in her heart, so she was "forced" to "compromise", and came to take a look and was about to be praised by her parents. Director Zhang Zhizhang who went to the sky.

As a result, I was very disappointed.

Especially when Zhang Zhi said that she arranged the place on a shed boat, worrying about the impact on her, it hurt her sense of superiority from the big city, and she smiled faintly, and a trace of contempt flashed in Wang Manni's eyes.

"A blind date doesn't affect me at all. It's not something disgraceful. Even if it doesn't work, there's nothing to avoid."

You are no influence, but what about your parents?

Zhang Zhi pursed his lips, but he couldn't explain to Wang Manni, so he had to show a wry smile, "It's better to avoid it from me."

Maybe it's because the work in the establishment has been done for too long, or maybe it's because Zhang Zhi is not used to the rhythm of blind dates. Zhang Zhi briefly chatted with Wang Manni, and the tone was quite official, which made her feel even more unhappy, so she had to find an excuse , and got off the boat with him, unwilling to share the cramped cabin with alone men and widows.

As a result, Zhang Zhi was recognized by a stranger holding a child under the bridge before leaving the boat, "Director Zhang, come on a cruise on the weekend."

"Ah, hang out with friends." Zhang Zhi smiled back at the other party, but after walking a few steps, he was recognized by another person, who insisted on dragging him to the Fish Pond Farmhouse to taste fresh fish, and to take a look at his place Whether the management meets the requirements.

Zhang Zhi declined the other party's invitation, and said with a smile: "If you finish all the materials, please submit the materials, and I will definitely arrange for a review, but I have to tell you that we are going to engage in the tourism industry, and the management of the water system is the most important thing." The most important thing is that this water system depends on it from drinking water for residents to recreational boats, and this is the most important thing during my term of office.”

Wang Manni felt uncomfortable listening to Zhang Zhi talking in official language with others. In her opinion, she was the director of the planning office of a small town. Why did she like to speak in an official language so much?

Walking and stopping along the way, someone would stop and say hello to Zhang Zhi almost every few steps, as if everyone in the whole town knew him.

Wang Manni doesn't like this so-called 'human touch' feeling, she feels very 'hypocritical'.

The relationship between people should be the environment of a big city like Shanghai, not the hypocritical social interaction woven by the so-called "humanity and sophistication".

Especially heard that he graduated from a key university with a master's degree, gave up his bright future of entering a foreign company, and 'fleeed' back to the small town to deal with trivial matters all day long.

In her eyes, this is worthless!

From Wang Manni's attitude, Zhang Zhi seemed to see something. He wanted to ask her out to watch a movie and have dinner next weekend, but Wang Manni refused.

In such a poor and remote town, if you want to watch a movie, you have to go to the county. There are only two movie theaters in the entire county. If it is in Shanghai, she will not go to see a 5D movie without IMAX.

Besides, after this day's blind date, she also saw that although Zhang Zhi's conditions in the town are good, if he were to be placed in Shanghai, he would not even be as good as Jiang Chen who opened a coffee shop.

For such a man, Wang Manni didn't want to stay here for another week.

Quan regards the blind date as a task, and when he goes back to get 10,000 yuan for emergency, he will go to Shanghai as soon as possible and continue to work hard.

She also fantasizes about saving some money in the next year and going on a long-distance trip~

Maybe at that time, I can meet another handsome, rich, single, and generous partner~

Back home, Wang Manni reported the result of the blind date to Ms. Wang and Dad Wang.

Knowing that Wang Manni didn't like her, she had to rush back to Shanghai.

Mother Wang said anxiously: "If you miss this opportunity, you will take regret medicine."

"Mom, you say that every time." Wang Manni said helplessly, "I know he is a good man, and he is well-known in the town, but we are not the same, he is not the kind I want, do you understand?"

"Hey~! Then tell me, what kind do you want?" Mama Wang said angrily with her hands on her hips.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Father Wang hurriedly smoothed things over. Mother Wang suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said seriously: "I tell you, listen carefully, Zhang Zhi, this is your best choice this time, you Be sure to have a serious talk with him, talk well, once you miss it.”

"Take regret medicine, right? You just said that." Wang Manni answered impatiently.

At this moment, her mind had already flown far away to Shanghai, and Mama Wang saw that her mind was not here, so she could only sigh, showing a regretful expression.

The scenery of the small town is beautiful, and the stone bridge has a little moss.

Zhong Xiaoqin leaned on the fence and greedily breathed the slightly fragrant water vapor, turned her head and showed a silly smile, pulled Chen Yu's cuffs and said, "Hey, husband, what do you think we will move here when we get old?" ?”

Chen Yu carefully protected Zhong Xiaoqin's shoulders, and said with a smile: "You really want to go out as soon as you go. When you went to Xiangxi last time, you said you would move to Chashan later, but now it's 20 years old. Sandu Ancient Town, wandering all over the world is home?"

"Can't talk about it? Like a piece of wood, I really haven't made any progress." Zhong Xiaoqin gave Chen Yu a blank look, and walked towards the stone bridge by herself, "And that Si Teng, really, knew that I was pregnant If you want to drink coffee, you will know that you are deliberately greedy for me."

"Didn't I order a glass of juice for you?" Chen Yu quickly followed up and helped her walk towards the coffee shop, "What the **** did you do to provoke her? Why is it that every time I see you, I always go to the coffee shop?" They're bickering with each other."

"How would I know?" Zhong Xiaoqin stood at the end of the bridge, her eyes just met Si Teng who was looking out the window, her rounded chin slightly raised, her eyes snorted provocatively, and she turned her head to look away, "Let her recognize She is angry as Xiao Xizhu's godmother, and she is also angry if she is not allowed to recognize her. Could it be that she still wants to be sisters with Xiao Xizhu? I really don't know how Zhou Ji can bear her."

Entering the coffee shop, the strong aroma of coffee hits the face. As early as when she was in Jiang Chen's shop in Shanghai, Zhong Xiaoqin was almost drooling, and now she saw Si Teng sitting there elegantly, holding the coffee After savoring it carefully, the greedy worm in my heart couldn't help but win.

Zhou Ji looked down at the coffee in his cup in surprise, took another big sip, and looked up at Si Teng, "Is what we ordered the same? Is it that delicious? It feels better than the one in Jiang Chen's shop." Is it a lot worse?"

If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb.

Or, do you really want to be dumb?

Si Teng's quiet and elegant smile froze, and his eyes glanced at Zhou Ji, which seemed to be a little cold. Zhou Ji shrugged, smiled as he was used to, and greeted Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu who were coming.

Chen Yu opened the seat, Zhong Xiaoqin sat down beside Si Teng, took a sip of the juice, Chen Yu looked at Zhong Xiaoqin helplessly, then looked at Zhou Ji curiously, "Mr. Suddenly remembered to travel to this ancient town? Will Xiaoqin and I bother you?"

"It's a little personal matter." Zhou Ji said and glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin. Zhong Xiaoqin hadn't explained clearly to Chen Yu about Wang Manni and Jiang Chen, so she quickly ticked her fingers and briefly introduced them to Chen Yu. The trio of girlfriends planned to help Jiang Chen investigate Wang Manni's affairs.

Jiang Chen is Zhou Ji's friend, Wang Manni is Jiang Chen's ex-girlfriend that he never forgets, Zhong Xiaoqin is just standing by to defend Jiang Chen, simply speaking, he is waving the flag and shouting, and the real investigation is also completed by Zhou Ji and Si Teng.

Chen Yu frowned slightly, opened his mouth but couldn't say much.

Zhong Xiaoqin didn't notice Chen Yu's hesitation to speak, and the gossip soul burned, "What can you see while sitting in the coffee shop? Since you want to investigate, you can't just sit still?"

Zhou Ji smiled and said: "We just saw her go on a blind date with a little Director Zhang from the town, is this considered a harvest?"

"Blind date?" Zhong Xiaoqin frowned slightly, then relieved.

Although she is an employee of Junyue Property and her office is upstairs from Misia, she doesn't know Wang Manni. She may have met Wang Manni a few times at work, but she is just a stranger who looks familiar.

The only way she knew about this woman was through Jiang Chen and Zhou Ji. The third-party perspective gave her a very bad impression of this strange woman named Wang Manni.

But no matter how much the other party hates the poor and loves the rich, no matter how ambitious he is, he is still single now.

Being abandoned by rich people in a big city, and going back to her hometown for a blind date, she couldn't say much, so she could only ask curiously: "How did it turn out?"

"What else can I do?" Si Teng brushed the hair that had slipped from his ears, and a strand of rattan slipped from his fingertips into his sleeve, "After sitting on a luxury cruise ship across the ocean, how can I see a black bird parading around the town?" Canopy boat?"

Hearing the irony in Si Teng's tone, Zhong Xiaoqin asked curiously: "Aren't you guys sitting in the store all the time? How do you know?"

Zhou Ji shook his head, showing a trace of pity, looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and said, "You know we are in the store, so you still ask us."

Zhong Xiaoqin smiled embarrassedly, scratched her head and said, "I'm just asking casually~"

Because of Zhong Xiaoqin's pregnancy, the waiter didn't come over to recommend manicures to her. The four of them sat for a while, then left the coffee shop and found a pre-booked antique inn to stay.

Zhou Ji and Si Teng took the coffee beans that Jiang Chen asked him to carry, and walked towards Wang Manni's house while walking.

Walk!

Leave tomorrow!

Her parents were in good health, and the blind date with Zhang Zhi was delayed for an extra day. Wang Manni packed her luggage that night and planned to book a ticket to return to Shanghai tomorrow. Just as she was looking at her phone, she was about to book Zhang Yuhang's plane ticket to Shanghai Suddenly, Mother Wang called her from outside the door, "Nini, you have a friend from Shanghai to visit you."

friend?

Jiang Chen!

Liang Zhengxian's name disappeared in a flash, and Jiang Chen's name suddenly appeared in Wang Manni's mind.

It's not that she really thinks it's Jiang Chen, it's that she has worked hard in Shanghai for eight years and doesn't seem to have a single friend.

If she could give up her quota for the second half of the year that day and help Ms. Gu, who was in a hurry to buy a bag, find the handbag she wanted, maybe she could become friends with the woman who lives in Grand Hyatt Mansion.

It's a pity that there is no if.

A certain choice made at a certain moment in a certain situation may affect many unexpected things, and even change the trajectory of a person's life.

Coming out of the room in a hurry, Wang Manni even forgot to ask who it was. She stopped suddenly when she opened the door, leaned over to look in the mirror at the dressing table, and simply repaired her makeup. Taking a deep breath, showing a cheerful and generous smile, he opened the door, and then froze in place.

"why you?"

"This is the coffee beans you ordered from Jiang Chen's coffee shop. The total cost is 3,000 yuan. Thank you for your patronage."
