Chapter 1043
Jessica was not angry, and the introducer came back at this time, just in time to hear what Mr. Lin said.
“It’s a pity that you did not meet my qualifications.”
He let out a disappointed expression on his face.
It seems that this business is really impossible to negotiate.
Jessica was not angry, and smiled slightly: “Mr. Lin, I knew that I would not succeed when you made the offer, but I still want to tell you that although Mrs. Lin has passed away, she has stayed in Lin forever. Mister. And…” She lowered her eyes, as if thinking of someone.
“Mr. Lin is very happy to be able to stay with Mr. Lin.”
She is like her, she has never gained anything, let alone lost.
Mr. Lin looked at her, his lips moved, but he didn’t say a word.
“Well, I’m glad to see Mrs. Lin’s recipe today. I am honored, but my father is still waiting for us to take care of him in the hospital, so I have to leave first.”
After speaking, Zhou Jessica got up and took Janis’s hand, and said softly, “Mr. Lin, goodbye.”
Janis was very disappointed and was led by Jessica, but suddenly there was a call from Mr. Lin behind her.
“Please wait a minute.”
Zhou Jessica stopped and turned around.
“Mr. Lin, is there anything else?”
“Ten million a year, what do you think?”
Zhou Jessica: “Huh?”
She didn’t seem to hear what Mr. Lin was saying, but Janis’s eyes widened, as if she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
“Although you did not meet the conditions of free rent, but at least it can be reduced to 100,000 a year. I wonder if Miss Zhou is still satisfied with this price?”
Zhou Jessica held her breath, “Mr. Lin, what are you…”
“You are the first chef who can see through my state of mind. The people who came to negotiate with me before… They all just want to show off their cooking skills in front of me, or they don’t give up to cook exactly the same taste as my wife.”
But only he knew it.
His wife is dead, and there will never be a second person in this world who can make the same taste.
No matter how you imitate it, the taste that belongs to his wife is always unique.
And Jessica jumped directly out of this limit and made a bowl of noodles with her state of mind. No one liked the bitter taste, so this bowl of noodles… is really unpalatable.
But the bitterness is over, but she feels a touch of sweetness on the tip of her tongue.
Just like every endless night, after he mourned his wife, he remembered the sweetness of her smile.
“So, the rent is 100,000 yuan a year, and I also hope… after she leaves, her hard work will not be wasted.”
After getting out of Lin’s villa and getting in the car, Janis felt like she was in a dream.
“This is too incredible, Jessica, why didn’t you tell your mother in advance? Mom thought you really worked hard according to the menu. I didn’t expect you to be ingenious.”
The introducer also nodded vigorously in praise.
“Yeah, I said Ms. Zhou was smart a long time ago. I didn’t expect Ms. Zhou to be more powerful than I thought.”
Zhou Jessica smiled faintly, and explained softly: “Actually, I am not smart, but I know that every chef has his own taste, just like human beings are independent living entities. Even if they are similar again, they will not be. the same person.”
Speaking of this, Zhou Jessica’s thoughts slowly drifted away.
After she had negotiated with Mr. Lin, when she was about to leave, Mr. Lin looked at her as if he wanted to stop talking.
At that time, Zhou Jessica really didn’t know what he wanted to say, so she could only watch him quietly.
In the end, Mr. Lin smiled slightly and said suddenly: “Miss Zhou, if you also find someone who can stay with you, you must not give up and cherish it.”
Listening to this, there seems to be nothing special.
But when he went to the tasting carefully, he felt that something was wrong. After all, how could Mr. Lin say this to her?
But…what’s wrong?
Everything seems to be proceeding reasonably.
The other party just didn’t want his wife’s renovated store to be ashamed, so the conditions put forward were extremely harsh, but she broke this rule, although she did not meet his conditions, but…
“Jessica, we will tell your father the good news when we go back later, and then we are ready to open the shop. The decorations are all ready-made anyway, we just need to watch a good day to open the shop.”
Zhou Jessica recovered and nodded.
“it is good.”
Forget it, what’s weird, that’s how things are going, it’s reasonable and reasonable, she should stop thinking about it.
“By the way, when you open your store, you need to notify your friend? After all, people treat you so well and take care of you so much. Then you have to invite her over.” At this point, Janis is still very happy. Did not expect this trip to be so smooth.
Zhou Jessica knew that the person her mother was talking about was Stella.
After she left the company, probably because of evasion, she had never talked to Stella on the phone or on WeChat, so the two had not been in contact for a long time.
She doesn’t know how she is now.
“Now that you have decided to let go, what else can you not face?”
The more you are afraid, the more you have to face it.
“Well, I’ll call her to talk about this in the evening.”
“Ok.”
And the other side
After those people left, Mr. Lin sat there staring at him in a daze.
He has to say that this is the most unpalatable bowl of noodles in his life.
Mouth is bitter.
But he couldn’t help but tasted and tasted, for the sweetness after the bitterness was exhausted.
After a while, he seemed to think of something, smiled relievedly, and then took out his cell phone to make a call.
“Good-sighted, a serious and thoughtful girl.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and a cold voice came.
“Finished?”
Mr. Lin nodded, “Well,”
After that, he thought of something funny, “I haven’t seen him for so many years. I didn’t expect that the first thing you found me was for a woman.”
The other party obviously did not want to continue this topic, “I have a meeting halfway through.”
Mr. Lin glanced at the time on the watch: “There are five minutes before the half hour, just talk to me, how did you meet?”
“…Lin Xuzheng, how did she pass? Although I came to speak up about this matter, I know your harshness.”
Hearing, Lin Xuzheng lowered his head and took another bite of noodles, earnestly feeling the taste on the tip of his tongue.
“She… reminds me of my wife.”
The other party took a breath, “What?”
“But don’t get me wrong, I don’t think anything wrong with her, and what I said just now is a bit ambiguous. It should be that the noodles she made reminded me of my wife.”
Hearing the silence of the other party again, Lin Xuzheng smiled faintly: “The little girl is very good, if you have that meaning, you should cherish it. Life is short. If you don’t stay together now, there will be no chance in the future.”
Chapter 1044
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Lin Xuzheng smiled lightly: “Why, do you think you are thinking? Nothing to say?”
After a moment of silence, the other party finally recovered his cold voice.
“She is my sister’s friend.”
“Oh?”
Lin Xuzheng chuckled, “It turned out to be your sister-in-law’s friend, so you are an old cow eating tender grass? That’s right, I think she is also very young, youthful and vigorous, just right for an old man like you.”
“…”
Lin Xuzheng pretended not to understand what he meant.
In fact, according to what he knew about Victor Han, he meant that the other party was just her sister’s friend, and he came out because Jessica was her sister’s friend.
But who is Lin Xu, how could he believe him?
Simply, he directly misinterpreted this meaning.
He couldn’t help himself anyway.
Sure enough, the other party sighed and was too lazy to explain, but said: “You can understand how you want to understand it. The meeting is about to begin.”
Lin Xuzheng: “Go, remember that you owe me Lin Xuzheng a favor.”
After speaking, Lin Xuzheng hung up the phone, and the smile on his face disappeared little by little.
It seems that the person who just joked with Victor Han is not his average.
His wife has been dead for many years, and he has long been able to put his emotions away freely, and his heart is bitter, but on the surface he can still talk and laugh.
Although those smiles never reach the bottom of the eyes and in the heart, what does it matter?
In this world, the only person who understands his inner pain and knows how to love him is dead…
He has… lost her forever.
Lin Xuzheng closed his eyes and a faint smile appeared on his pale lips.
Stella was still a little surprised when he received the news that Jessica was opening a restaurant, but after the surprise he turned into joy.
“When will it open? At that time, I will bring Walter over to join you.”
Hearing that Mr. Walter was coming, Jessica was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, “Or you should come by yourself. I will pick you up at that time. Mr. Walter’s aura is too strong. I’m afraid our shop is too small. .”
Hearing this, Stella glanced at the bathroom subconsciously, and Walter was taking a shower in it right now.
Thinking about Walter’s usual cold face and strong aura, Stella couldn’t help laughing.
“Don’t worry, if he dares to scare others by then, I definitely disagree.”
“Hey, Stella… Are you really going to bring him here?”
“Of course, the new store is open, how lively we are.”
Zhou Jessica didn’t know what to say for a while, she looked back at Zhou’s father in the ward, and if the store opened, Mr. Walter really came.
He doesn’t know what her father will look like?
Was it a surprise or a shock?
Suddenly, Zhou Jessica was also a little curious, maybe it would be fun or maybe.
“Well, then you can come with him when the time comes. By the way, Stella, you won’t blame me?”
“Ok?”
Stella was a little strange when she heard this, “What is to blame for you?”
“I haven’t contacted you for so long, and…I’m not going back to help you now, and I have opened a restaurant by myself…I really…”
The smile on Stella’s face faded, and her voice was slightly harsh.
“You say these things, don’t you consider me a friend?”
“Stella, why do you think so, how could I not treat you as a friend, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean that…”
Jessica heard the sternness in Stella’s tone, and suddenly became anxious, desperately trying to explain, as if crying.
“Well, don’t worry, I don’t mean to blame you. I just think that if you treat me as a friend, you shouldn’t just give in to me. What you want to do is your personal will. I can’t interfere with you, let alone blame you, understand?”
Jessica: “Stella, I…”
“I’m angry because you feel guilty for me, but I’m the one who owes it to me. These years…if you hadn’t been by my side, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have today.”
“No, no, no.” Jessica shook her head vigorously: “You have made me who I am today. If I were not with you, I would not have made so much money…”
How can she open a shop without making this money? So in the final analysis, Jessica is very grateful to Stella.
“Are you stupid? The money you earn is proportional to your ability. It’s all yours. It has nothing to do with me. Jessica, we are friends and good sisters. The relationship between us is equally, in front of me, don’t put yourself so low.”
“Stella…”
“If you always look down, then I am afraid I can’t be friends with you.”
When Zhou Jessica heard this, she immediately became anxious, “Don’t Stella, I won’t be like this anymore.”
“That’s good.”
“Well, that’s it.”
The two finally returned to business as usual and began to talk and laugh.
After hanging up the phone, Stella put her mobile phone on the bedside table, just as Walter came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. Seeing her movements, she paused when she wiped her hair.
“It’s Levi?”
Hearing, Stella paused, then shook her head and said, “It’s not Levi, it’s Jessica.”
Walter’s expression seemed a little dazed, and after a while, he returned to his qingming appearance.
“So it was her.”
“What’s your expression, it took so long to remember it.” Stella was dissatisfied, no wonder Jessica said that it would be fine to let her go by herself, but Walter actually forgot about them.
Walter pursed his thin lips, and reluctantly reached out and touched his nose. It was indeed embarrassing to forget about people.
And this person is still the person Stella valued.
But Walter didn’t mean it.
It’s just that his memories are always looming for a while, those fragments seem to be like hide-and-seek him, rushing out and then retracting, only Walter knows that his memory has been a little confused.
Because things didn’t completely come to mind, he didn’t know which ones were before and which ones were behind.
He also didn’t forget that Jessica was Stella’s good friend, but he had forgotten people who hadn’t had much contact with him.
Only that Meng Karla was remembered clearly by him.
But he remembered her clearly, not because of anything else, but because she did unforgivable things to Stella and herself.
He remembered some of it himself, and coupled with the information Phillip gave him, he already understood what kind of person Meng Karla was.
“I didn’t forget.”
Walter walked to the bed and leaned over to approach Stella: “I remember everything about you very clearly, but she didn’t have any intersection with me, so she didn’t take it to heart. Why, Mrs. Ye wants me Get closer to your girlfriend?”
Stella’s eyes widened and accused him.
“One yard goes to one yard. How close is it to you to forget her if you walked close to her?”
Walter curled his lips helplessly and pinched her chin.
“Is it seen through?”
