urban life

Chapter 562
The Bund of Magic Capital.

In the afternoon, it is the hottest time of the day, but it cannot stop people from taking photos and checking in.

A black Lamborghini sped by, and everyone cast envious glances. Especially in the car was a woman with long flowing hair, who was as beautiful as a fairy, which aroused the envy in the hearts of boys and girls.

It would be great if I were that girl, the girl thought.

It would be great if I were that girl's boyfriend, the boy thought.

Unfortunately, that's all fantasy.

When the interview ended in the afternoon, Zhou Lingmeng felt a little depressed.

The car stopped at the entrance of a coffee shop. He casually threw the key to the waiter and went straight inside.

"Handsome guy, a dozen beers." She tapped the counter gently.

"Sorry, we don't have beer." The waiter smiled.

Zhou Lingmeng frowned: "What kind of bar are you? You don't even have beer."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, but still maintained a kind smile: "Sorry, this is a coffee shop, and we only sell coffee."

When you come to a coffee shop to buy beer, you’re not just looking for trouble, are you?
Zhou Nuxia tilted her head: "Don't coffee shops sell beer?"

"Not for sale."

“When did you stop selling beer?”

"." The smile on the waiter's face was almost stiff, and there were obvious signs of twitching at the corners of his mouth, "We never sell beer."

Our store has always been a coffee business. When did you have the impression in your mind that we sell beer?The waiter thought to himself.

Even so, the waiter still had to keep smiling.

I'm so angry!
"Oh, I seem to have forgotten it." Zhou Lingmeng looked around the store and finally woke up. She was in the wrong place and slapped her forehead. It was all because of today's interviews that none of the applicants were successful, which made her very angry.

"Forget it, give me a cup of coffee that is bitter and astringent, just like walking on the road and being beaten for no reason, and you have no strength to resist, so you have to get beaten in vain."

The waiter nodded: "Okay, a cup of espresso."

"No, no." Hearing this, Zhou Lingmeng shook his head, "I don't want espresso, but it's bitter and astringent. It's like walking on the road and being beaten up for no reason, and you still have it. I don’t have the strength to resist, so I have to get my coffee beaten in vain.”

The waiter stared at Zhou Nuxia, his eyes dull, and he was stunned for a moment.

An elderly waiter next to him said: "Okay, a cup of it is bitter and astringent. It's like walking on the road and being beaten for no reason, and you don't have the strength to resist, so you have to be beaten in vain." coffee."

"Thank you, sorry for bothering you." After hearing the satisfactory answer, Zhou Lingmeng responded politely.

After Zhou Nuxia left, the older waiter patted the shoulder of the waiter who was still there and said with a smile: "Give her a cup of espresso."

Zhou Lingmeng chose a seat by the window, lying on the table, quietly looking at the slowly flowing river on the Bund. The previous energy had completely disappeared. At this moment, she was like a general who had lost a battle. .

The whole person was listless and exuded an air of depression.

"Am I really that bad?" Zhou Lingmeng thought to herself.

Since graduating, she has submitted thousands of resumes and interviewed with countless companies. However, the results are either that she has read them and cannot read them back, or she has gone to the interview happily and then continued to read them and cannot read them back.

Zhou Lingmeng admits that her ability is poor. She has no certificate, no internship experience, and is not good at studies. However, she is not the kind of person who doesn’t know where the sky is the limit. The position she submitted and the salary she requested are all in line with her personal abilities. .

To put it bluntly, she is self-aware and requires very little salary because of her poor abilities.

Despite this, Zhou Nuxia still found nothing.

Zhou Lingmeng feels that today's world is quite magical. Companies want to recruit people with graduate or doctoral degrees for positions that cost thousands of dollars. What's even more magical is that there are a lot of people rushing to apply.

Picture what?
It makes it impossible for poor people like her to find jobs.

It's simply too curly.

"Hissing" the coffee was brought, and Zhou Nuxia took a sip. A bitter taste lingered in her mouth and chest. She swallowed hard, and the bitter taste still lingered in her body.

"Madam, how do you feel?" The waiter did not leave. Seeing Zhou Lingmeng's distorted facial features, she felt an indescribable pleasure in her heart.

"It's so bitter, just like my life. Why is my life so bitter?" Zhou Lingmeng didn't pay attention to the other person's expression, sticking out his tongue like a snake, hoping to reduce the bitter taste, "What kind of coffee is this?"

"Bitter and astringent."

Hearing this, Zhou Nuxia waved her hand: "Come on, you can go to work. I just made a joke with you. Why do you hold a grudge so much? Espresso, I understand."

The waiter suddenly stopped.

He hasn't finished speaking yet. Are you giving up?
I had memorized the lines secretly many times but suddenly it hit my throat. I wanted to say it but couldn't. It was quite uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, the customer is God, so the waiter had to leave.

"Huh! Even dogs don't drink it." After the waiter left, Zhou Lingmeng pushed away the cup of coffee and said softly.

Then he lay down on the table again, looking at the people and scenery outside, and fell into EMO again.

"Beauty, add your contact information."

At this moment, a high-pitched voice sounded in Zhou Lingmeng's ears, like nails scraping against a blackboard. It was creepy.

She frowned slightly and looked for words.

I saw a man directly in front of me. He was in his twenties, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, and had colorful tattoos on his arms.

At this moment, the tattooed man had a frivolous smile on his face and struck up a conversation with the girl in front of the heroine. He had long black hair, a slender figure, and fair skin. Although his face was not visible, he could tell from just a corner that she was a beautiful woman. .

"Sorry, I didn't bring my phone." The long-haired beauty's voice was calm and cold.

"It's okay, what's your phone number?"

"Sorry, I don't give contact information to strangers."

The long-haired beauty was extremely cold and refused directly.

But his refusal did not stop the tattooed man. On the contrary, he raised the corners of his mouth, smiled evilly, sat directly opposite the long-haired woman, and said: "The original meaning of "Mo" is a field path. The more people walk on it, the more familiar it becomes. It's like the relationship between the two of us. We will become familiar with each other if we get to know each other more. You can add your contact information."

"No matter how familiar you are, you can't add contact information."

"I don't believe it." The tattooed man shook his head, "I'm relying on you."

The long-haired beauty raised her head and stared at the man opposite her deeply without saying a word. Then she lowered her head and looked at the book in her hand quietly, as if the man opposite her could not arouse any emotion in her heart.

Faced with such a calm attitude, the tattooed man raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that he couldn't win over the opponent with his charm.

Suddenly seeing Zhou Lingmeng's gaze, the smile returned to her face and she waved: "Hi, beauty."

When it comes to striking up conversations, Zhou Lingmeng usually replies with one word: "Get lost!"

The tattooed man twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at the long-haired beauty. He was scolded by a strange woman, as if he felt that he had suffered a big loss in the eyes of his "loved one".

His face darkened, and then he stood up and walked next to Zhou Nuxia, covering up the light outside, looking like a tall man.

Zhou Lingmeng rolled her eyes: "What, you want to beat me?"

"Apologise, otherwise, I will consider taking special measures."

After hearing the conversation between the two, the long-haired beauty stopped focusing on the book, looked back, and raised her eyebrows.

A little surprised, a little surprised.

"For example?" Zhou Nuxia tilted her head, her big eyes like a clear spring.What a pure woman.

The tattooed man suddenly lost his violent thoughts, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a playful smile: "For example, I am relying on you."

"Hehe, is it true?" Hearing this, Zhou Lingmeng was quite happy, holding the window handle while talking.

Click!

The window handle was "gently" pulled down, as if it were made of foam.

Zhou Nuxia took the window handle, tapped it in her palm, and asked, "Say it again."

"."

The tattooed man looked at the heroine up and down, then his eyes fell on the window handle, observed carefully, and then laughed awkwardly: "Hehe."

"Sorry, I offended."

"Offended? No." Zhou Lingmeng put on a nonchalant attitude, his face turned cold, and he changed the subject, "Get out!"

Hearing her answer, the tattooed man immediately breathed a sigh of relief and walked outside in three steps and two steps at a time.

Mom!
It was a window handle made of steel, connected together with a special process. Ordinary people would be injured if they bumped into it, but that beautiful girl actually tore it off forcefully.

How much strength does that require?What a fierce girl is that?If her future husband marries her, what's the difference between that and marrying the King of Hell?

"waste!"

Seeing the tattooed man disappear, Zhou Lingmeng dismissed it.

The heroine has seen too many people like the man just now in her 20 years. They are all tall, have tattoos of social people, look like gangsters, and look quite fierce.

But in fact, he was just a showman, and he couldn't stand a few punches from Zhou Lingmeng before he fell down.

A bunch of crap.

Still can't beat Deng Xi.

At least Deng Xi can take a few more punches.

"Thank you."

The long-haired woman turned back to thank Zhou Lingmeng, and the latter waved his hand, looking extra generous: "It's okay. It is our duty as people in the world to uphold justice and uphold justice."

"Yes." The long-haired woman smiled slightly and saw Zhou Lingmeng looking at her as if he were a stranger. She pondered for a moment, "You really don't recognize me?"

"you are?"

"My name is Li Lin, your brother Zhou Liang's friend."

That's right, the long-haired woman is Li Lin, Zhou Liang's friend of the opposite sex at university.

She was reading just now and was harassed by others. Fortunately, Zhou Lingmeng came to help and turned around to see the latter. Although they had only met once, at a social gathering four years ago, she still recognized him at a glance.

I thought about it for a long time before I decided to step forward and thank him.

"Ah ah ah" After hearing this, Zhou Lingmeng also remembered and pointed at the other party, "You are Zhou Liang's girlfriend."

Zhou Nuxia generally cannot remember strangers in her mind. Her mind is like a software that clears data. It clears strangers every once in a while, but she recognized Li Lin.

Because they were one of my brother's few friends of the opposite sex, I was particularly impressed.

Li Lin retorted unhurriedly: "..., Zhou Liang and I are just friends."

"girlfriend."

"We're friends."

"Are you friends?"

"Correct."

"Are you female?"

"Yep."

Zhou Lingmeng put his hands on his hips and said seriously, "Then you are Zhou Liang's girlfriend."

"."

Li Lin smiled helplessly. From the literal meaning, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.

"Thank you for your help today." Li Lin didn't bother and thanked her.

After finishing speaking, she prepared to return to her original position and continue reading.

Although Zhou Lingmeng helped her, the two did not know each other after all. The relationship between the two was through Zhou Liang, so she did not plan to talk too much.

But before moving, Zhou Lingmeng stood in front and patted his shoulder: "Sister, you are unreasonable. I have helped you so much, and you just want to thank me? You are not polite. Let's add our contact information."

"I added it before."

"add?"

"correct."

Hearing this, Zhou Lingmeng immediately took out his phone, flipped through it, and saw the name of Zhou Liang's girlfriend in the V letter. He gave the phone to the other party and asked, "Is this you?"

"Yes."

"Hehe." Li Lin's answer made Zhou Lingmeng feel slightly embarrassed and scratched the back of his head, "I'm sorry, I forgot."

She remembered that that night she noticed that Li Lin and Zhou Liang had an unusual relationship, and immediately added their contact information. She originally wanted to chat with Li Lin, but Zhou Liang obviously understood her thoughts and had a fight with her. Of course she won.

But he also promised not to harass Li Lin until today.

Li Lin shook her head: "It's okay, I'll take the first step."

After saying that, she was ready to leave again.

From Zhou Liang's words, she knew that Zhou Lingmeng was a brainless man with no special ideas.

"Don't." Zhou Lingmeng stood in front again, trying his best to show a kind smile on his face, but in Li Lin's eyes, it looked like the smile of a wolf grandmother, "I have helped you so much, and in order to drive away that pervert, I gave up everything. I’m hurt, you want to treat me to a meal.”

Li Lin stared at the handle of the window on the tabletop. It was torn off violently, and the broken parts were full of scars.

"Well, I'll buy you coffee." Li Lin responded.

"No!" Zhou Lingmeng crossed his arms and shook his head, looking arrogant, "I'm hungry, and I want you to treat me to a meal. Don't worry, I will never take you for granted. Let's go to hot pot. I know there is a hot pot restaurant nearby that is very delicious, please go with me."

Li Lin thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Lingmeng is Zhou Liang's sister after all, and since she helped her just now, it is reasonable for her to treat her to a meal.

"Hehe." After receiving the response, Zhou Lingmeng laughed, her eyes curved into a crescent shape, and waved to the waiter in the distance. When the waiter approached, she said: "Brother, pay the bill."

The two of them paid the bill respectively. When they left the coffee shop, Zhou Lingmeng patted the waiter on the shoulder: "Brother, it's okay if you don't have beer in the store. The window handle is still broken. It fell off with just a light break. Fortunately, I met someone today. If you hit me and meet someone else, it will be very dangerous if you fall down."

If you don't come, the window handle really won't come down, Li Lin raised the corner of her mouth.

. . . . . .

I went to hook up with a dancer, but I forgot to write the code.
