Chapter 3
The noddle shop closes at nine o'clock in the evening, and there are not so many customers after eight o'clock.
When Meng Wan was about to go home, she received a WeChat message from Lawyer Wu asking if she had time to watch a movie tomorrow night.
Meng Wan had a headache. When her mother and Lawyer Wu's aunt first met. The elders were having a good time talking, so they asked the children to add each other on WeChat. Before Meng Wan and Lawyer Wu formally met, they chatted on WeChat for almost two weeks. Lawyer Wu has a good sense of humor, and Meng Wan had a good impression of her at first, but she didn't expect to meet another blind date who cared about her career.
Meng Wan doesn't think that Lawyer Wu has the possibility of changing her impression of her noodle shop. Even if she intends to continue dating, she has developed an interest in her appearance. If the two of them really stabilize, sooner or later the decent lawyer Wu will bring up the old matter again and persuade her to change careers. Since this is the case, there is really no need for the two of them to continue dating.
Didn't Mother convey her intentions to Lawyer Wu's aunt?
As a beautiful woman who is often pursued by others, Meng Wan is also very skilled at rejecting others. The gentlemanly lawyer Wu is suitable for being courteous first, and she replied politely: The noodle shop closes at nine o'clock in the evening, and the business has been very productive the whole day.
In fact, Meng Wan, the boss, could leave at any time, but she just doesn't want to go.
Lawyer Wu: Do you not rest on weekends?
Meng Wan smiled: Are you trying to ask me out?
Lawyer Wu: I thought I made it obvious. I wonder if Ms. Meng will give me this chance?
Just as Meng Wan was about to type, her left shoulder felt heavy, as Xiao Ye, leaned over, staring at her phone with big eyes. Meng Wan didn't mind and replied under Xiaoye's peeping screen: Sorry, I don't think we are suitable.
"So ruthless?" Xiaoye said in admiration. She had seen a photo of Lawyer Wu. He was a gentle and handsome guy full of charm.
Meng Wan shrugged her shoulders. When dealing with male suitors, she could either be ruthless or tolerant. Meng Wan found it troublesome. For unsuitable people, the sooner she broke up, the less worried she would be.
Lawyer Wu replied after a few seconds: Is it because I don't like Ms. Meng's choice of career?
Xiao Ye secretly laughed, and Meng Wan also laughed, making an analogy: a noodle shop and a western restaurant are totally different things.
Lawyer Wu: Understood.
Meng Wan stopped replying and put down her phone.
Xiao Ye raised her chin and asked her, "The boss doesn't like western food lawyers, and he doesn't like Ramen Professor Gao, so what kind of guy are you looking for? A hot pot guy?"
Meng Wan didn't answer. In high school, there were boys who pursued her. Meng Wan's academic performance was poor. In order to avoid failing the entrance exams in ordinary universities, she studied hard every day, so she had no time to fall in love early. There is plenty of time in college, and time to fall in love, but Meng Wan's luck is relatively poor, and she hasn't met a man who can make her heart beat faster for four years, and she has been single until now.
"I'm not in a hurry anyway."
After changing clothes, Meng Wan greeted the staff and walked out of the noodle shop with her bag in hand.
Jiangcheng is very beautiful. There are many kinds of camphor trees on both sides of the road. The bright lights flicker through the leaves. Students come and go from the university gate on the opposite side, and there are many sweet and loving couples. Z University is the best university in Jiangcheng. From the students eating at the noodle shop, Meng Wan can feel the youthful vigor of the college students, and also slightly feel the learning atmosphere at Z University.
Meng Wan's grades were not good when she was studying, and now she realizes the charm of a good university.
Meng Wan sent a message to her cousin, who was about to enter the third year of high school: Study hard, work hard to get into Z University; my sister invites you to eat noodles!
Young master of the Meng family: You are so good, why didn't you take the exam yourself?
Meng Wan replied with three big smiling faces. Not to mention, it feels really cool to supervise high school kids as someone who has been there!
After buying some fruit at the fruit shop, Meng Wan went back to the community, and when she got upstairs, Meng Wan found a pin stuck on the door of her house in good condition, and there was a post-it note next to it, with clear handwriting: "Thank you. "
Meng Wan looked at the front door of the Lu family whose fingerprint lock had been changed, feeling very speechless, a pin, did you return it on purpose?
Lu Chaoqing started working at Z University the next day after he returned to Jiangcheng.
The Department of Physics at Z University has several branches. Before Lu Chaoqing came, Professor Gao was the only professor at Z University who specialized in astrophysics, so Lu Chaoqing’s office was arranged next to Professor Gao. Lu Chaoqing is familiar with the campus.
Thirty-two-year-old Professor Gao fell in love with Lu Chaoqing at first sight. Before Lu Chaoqing returned to China, Professor Gao had read several academic papers written by Lu Chaoqing. Professor Gao enthusiastically took Lu Chaoqing for a walk around the teaching building. His friendly smile was like a spring breeze and stunned all the science students.
"I have class today, let's have lunch together later!"
Looking at the time, Professor Gao smiled and patted Lu Chaoqing on the shoulder, finally having a colleague who studies celestial bodies to accompany him.
Lu Chaoqing nodded.
He is not used to socializing with people, but Professor Gao's enthusiasm is not offensive.
The two professors ate lunch in the Z cafeteria, and there was a window for ramen next to the queue window.
Queuing was boring, but the noodle chef's unique performance caught Lu Chaoqing's attention. He always eats Western food abroad.
Seeing him staring at the noodle master, Professor Gao couldn't help but butt in, and say in a low voice, "The noodles here taste average. There is a noodle shop outside the school that is especially delicious. I'll take you there tonight."
Lu Chaoqing doesn't care about food, but since a new colleague strongly recommended it, he complied.
Professor Gao lowered his head and smiled, actually showing a bit of shyness.
Lu Chaoqing: ... why does he look like he is being shy?
At around six o'clock in the evening, Professor Gao and Lu Chaoqing walked out of Z University, crossed the road, and came to the outside of Meng Lao Tau Noodle Shop.
Lu Chaoqing looked at the signboard and walked in after Professor Gao.
The cool wind from the air conditioner rushed towards his face, blowing away the hot air in the street in an instant.
"Professor Gao is here." Xiao Ye greeted him with a smile, showing a nice smile.
Contrary to his calmness on campus, Professor Gao nervously pushed his glasses, and took the opportunity to look at the woman next to Xiao Ye.
Meng Wan was watching a drama, she was really interested in.
She is wearing a work uniform, a white shirt with the ramen shop's cute and amiable "Old Man Meng" logo printed on it, and her long hair is combed into a simple ponytail, full of vigor. Every time Professor Gao saw her, a bunch of pink bubbles popped out of the frame automatically, and the word "cute" was written on each bubble.
But he didn't dare to look too much, and took Lu Chaoqing to the old seat he was used to sitting in.
"Boss, that man is so handsome!" The two walked away, Xiao Ye put away her signature smile, and excitedly pushed Meng Wan's arm.
Meng Wan also likes to look at handsome guys, so she immediately pressed the pause button, followed Xiaoye's finger to look into the store, and finally saw Professor Gao first. Professor Gao happened to be looking at Meng Wan too. When Meng Wan turned around, Professor Gao immediately lowered his head as if he had seen a ghost. The only difference was that others' face turned pale when they saw a ghost, while his face turned red.
Lu Chaoqing had just ordered a signature beef noodle. When he looked up and saw Professor Gao's sudden and shy appearance, he was stunned: "Are you okay?"
Professor Gao shook his head and secretly glanced at the cashier.
Lu Chaoqing subconsciously turned around and looked out.
Just now, he was sitting with his back to Meng Wan. Meng Wan only saw a tall figure in a gray shirt. Now, when Lu Chaoqing turned his head, Meng Wan's eyes widened.
Lu Chaoqing saw Meng Wan when he first entered the door, and silently commented on Meng Wan as "lazy and idle." Lu Chaoqing became indifferent when he noticed Meng Wan and the female colleague next to him staring at him with an unpredictable expression.went back.
"So cold." Xiao Ye whispered to Meng Wan to share his impressions of handsome guys.
Meng Wan wasn't really surprised by his reaction, and continued to watch the drama without commenting.
Professor Gao's face finally returned to normal, and then he started to peek at Meng Wan's again.
Lu Chaoqing looked at him several times.
Professor Gao just didn't dare strike up a conversation with Meng Wan, but he didn't mind sharing his secrets with his colleagues, so he quietly introduced Lu Chaoqing: "The one who is watching the TV show is the owner of this noodle shop, and she opened her own restaurant at the age of twenty-five this year. Women nowadays are getting more and more powerful."
Lu Chaoqing: "She probably came from a rich family."
Professor Gao also had this guess, but this is not the point, and he continued to praise Meng Wan: "The decoration of the store is all designed by her."
Lu Chaoqing Looking around, he didn't notice anything unusual about the decoration.As long as it looks good, it can attract college students.
Looking back, Lu Chaoqing suddenly noticed that Professor Gao's expression had changed again, from shy to stiff and complicated.
Lu Chaoqing turned his head again, and saw a mature man in a suit in front of the front desk, with one hand on the counter in front of Meng Wan, smiling and chatting with Meng Wan, the Rolex surface on his wrist reflected brightly under the light.
"I heard that she was on a blind date with a lawyer, so it should be this person." Professor Gao pursed his lips, although he hardly said a word when he came to the noodle shop, but Professor Gao collected all the gossip that should be collected in time and accurately .
Lu Chaoqing was not interested in Meng Wan's blind date, so when the noodles came, he picked up his chopsticks and ate slowly.
"Ms. Meng doesn't seem to be busy at all." At the front desk, Attorney Wu glanced at Meng Wan's laptop screen and laughed and teased.
He has the appearance of a gentle scum, and with such a smile, Xiao Ye has already died in battle in the game that she was playing, and he almost took a sneak shot with her mobile phone.
Meng Wan closed the TV in embarrassment, and asked him, "Why are you here?"
Attorney Wu's smile softened immediately: "To come and see you, let's have a meal; maybe after this meal, I'll fall in love with noodles too."
This was a pun, and Meng Wan could only smile and introduce him to some of her family's signature noodles.
"Let's eat together?" Lawyer Wu looked at her with burning eyes.
Meng Wan smiled: "I'm busy now."
Attorney Wu expressed his understanding, and looked at Meng Wan for the last time. He went to pick a table inside, and by coincidence, he sat behind Lu Chaoqing.
Professor Gao added a lot of chili to the noodles, making the soup red and oily!
Lu Chaoqing glanced at the calm and confident Lawyer Wu opposite, and reminded him objectively: "You have no chance of winning."
Professor Gao bowed his head and ate the noodles.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Lu Chaoqing picked up the mobile phone on the table and prepared to leave.
Professor Gao didn't want to leave, but he didn't want to waste the precious time of his colleagues, so he went to check out.
Xiao Ye went to the bathroom. Seeing the two of them coming, Meng Wan asked Lu Chaoqing with a smile because of her friendship with her neighbors for many years: "Is the noodles delicious?"
Lu Chaoqing nodded, the taste was indeed good.
Professor Gao looked at Lu Chaoqing suspiciously. Why didn't she ever ask him if the noodle was delicious?
"I'm treating you this time. Professor Lu can help me introduce a few more deals later. Meng Wan smiled politely.
Lu Chaoqing didn't have that much time to spare: "I'm very busy, I'd better pay the bill."
After speaking, he pointed the phone screen at Meng Wan and motioned for her to scan the QR code.
Meng Wan: ...
The author has something to say:
Xiao Ye: Boss, can Professor Lu make your heart beat?
Meng Wan: Yes! so angry!
