The manager sat in the car while Zuo Yue stood outside the window. She smiled and said,ââAfter graduating, I should look for a company for an internship. King is such a good company, of course I would choose this place.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Manager Lin smiled again.â You know thatâs not what I meant.â
Zuo Yue didnât continue to answer him. She just smiled calmly.âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll go back first. See you the day after tomorrow when I officially go to the company for my internship. Iâll be able to get to know my colleagues in advance at the dinner tonight.â
Zuo Yue nodded at the other party after she finished speaking. She walked around the car and walked in front of his car, intending to cross the road.
Manager Lin suddenly pressed the horn inside the car. Zuo Yue paused for a moment and turned to look at the Mercedes-Benz that was flashing its lights.
Manager Lin opened the car door and got out of the car. He casually placed one hand on the car door and stared at her a few times.âYouâre not young anymore. You should have been in a relationship before, right?â
â..âZuo Yue was stunned by this straightforward statement and did not continue for a while.
âYou have a boyfriend now?â
â..ââNo.â Zuo Yue was embarrassed.
Manager Lin immediately raised his eyebrows. He had a hint of a yuppie in his refined manner, but it was not annoying.âThen canât you tell that Iâm interested in you?â
â..â
âJust standing outside and chatting? Get in the car and sit down. Letâs talk for a while?â
Zuo Yue suddenly smiled and raised her hand to tuck the hair on her cheek behind her ear.ââManager Lin, you might have misunderstood. I said that I donât have a boyfriend, but it doesnât mean that Iâm empty in my relationship. I just came out for an internship and want to focus on my work. I hope that Manager Lin wonât put the habit of picking up girls on me.â
â I like girls like you who speak straightforwardly. During the interview this afternoon, your attitude when answering questions was just like now. It was simple and straightforward. To put it bluntly, youâre beautiful and your personality suits my taste. Thatâs why I wanted to pursue you before I knew you for 24 hours. If you think itâs rude, I can wait a few days. But I hope that Miss Zuo wonât treat me as a man who randomly picks up girls. Iâm not that kind of man.â
Manager Lin made a gesture to her after he finished speaking, meaning that she could leave and he would not pester her.
Zuo Yue stood rooted to the ground for a long time after hearing this sudden confession and such a straightforward method.
Manager Lin stuck his head out of the car again.âWhatâs wrong? Do you want to sit in and chat with me for a while?â
Zuo Yue suddenly smiled,âSee you the day after tomorrow.ââ
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly crossed the zebra crossing and walked across the road.
It was not until she left Manager Linâs line of sight that the faint smile in Zuo Yueâs eyes gradually faded. She glanced at the apartment building that was gradually approaching, but she was not in a hurry to go back. She turned to look at the bar beside her and directly turned around to enter the bar.
âMiss Zuo is here again? What are you drinking today? Brandy or Bloody Mary? Do you want a stronger or lighter one?â The bartender at the bar counter smiled and looked at Zuo Yue, who sat in front of him.
âSomething lighter. In a few days, Iâll be changing from a student to an intern in the company. Iâll even have to restrain myself when I drinking.âZuo Yue said as she put her bag aside and looked around.ââWhy is the bar so quiet today?â
âOur big BOSS will be back in Boston in the next two days. The manager is busy reorganizing the staff of our bar and doesnât have much energy to entertain the customers, so he closed the shop in the afternoon. Today, we just opened, and youâre the fifth customer.âThe bartender handed her the Brandy that Zuo Yue usually drank, and then casually put two ice cubes into the transparent square glass in front of her.
Zuo Yue took a sip and smiled.ââIâve only been coming to your bar for a few drinks in the past few years. Iâm used to the wine you make. It wonât keep me awake, but it wonât make me drunk either. Every time I drink it, Iâll feel dizzy, but I can still recognize my house. When I get home, Iâll have a good sleep. Youâre really a good helper for insomnia.â
The bartender smiled and leaned against the bar counter.â Youâre such a beautiful woman. Youâve been drinking in our bar for three years in a row. Every time, youâre alone. When men come to seduce you, you never answer. Youâve been drinking alone for three years. Sometimes, I wonder what kind of girl you are.â
Zuo Yue sighed and laughed.â Sheâs not any kind of girl. She just wants to drink.ââ
âYou want to drink? Have you never thought of finding someone to accompany you?â
Zuo Yue glanced at him and did not say anything else. She looked around and saw a few more guests coming in. She asked,ââWhat did you just say about your big BOSS? Havenât I seen the boss of your bar before? The tall one who always appears in a black t-shirt. Donât you always call him boss? Isnât he?â
âThatâs the person in charge of our bar. Calling him boss is just a passing remark.ââDo you think our bar is private?â the bartender said with a smile. You might not have heard of it in the United States, but thereâs a big Russian financial group called the KP Group. Our bar is a branch of the KP Groupâs business branch in Boston. Itâs part of the entertainment branch of the company. There are nightclubs, bars, pubs, and all kinds of high-end clubs under the KP Groupâs name. You probably havenât heard of them.â
Zuo Yue had just taken a sip of the wine in her cup when she suddenly stopped.
âThe real big BOSS of our KG Group will be coming to Boston soon. He hasnât been back to the United States for three years. This time, he has something urgent to deal with personally. Otherwise, I think the big BOSS has plans to never step foot in the United States again.â
Zuo Yue did not speak and continued to drink silently until she finished her glass. She placed the empty glass in front of the bartender and said,ââAnother glass.â
âAnother glass?â The bartender looked at her in surprise. You usually only drink one cup before leaving. My cup is just right. If I drink another cup, youâll be drunk.â
Zuo Yue smiled.â Itâs the KP Group. Who said I havenât heard of it?â Iâve heard a lot about youâ¦â
The bartender did not understand why she suddenly changed the topic and looked at her in confusion. Zuo Yue pushed the glass in front of her and said,ââGive me another glass. Hurry up and donât dawdle.â
âIf you still want to drink, have a Bloody Mary. If you drink another glass of this Brandy, youâll be paralyzed here.â
âWhatever, itâs wine.âZuo Yue muttered softly, then suddenly laughed,ââPerhaps this will be the last glass of wine I drink in your bar. I have to drink to my heartâs content.â
