Chapter 10: Cultivating Confidence (Seeking follow-up reading)
"let me guess."
Han Zhe was not in a hurry to give her an answer, but asked, "Can I have a cigarette?"
"Open the window after you finish smoking, otherwise there will be ashes. The ashtray is here." Jiang Xiuyan pulled out the ashtray in the car.
Seeing Han Zhe's eyebrows slightly raised in surprise, Jiang Xiuyan hurriedly explained: "It's the sister I know who smokes. She opened the window to smoke before and a lot of cigarette ash flew in. It doesn't matter. Although I don't smoke, I don't have any aversion to cigarettes. I'll open the window again later to let the smell out."
Han Zhe nodded, smiled at her meaningfully, and then lit a cigarette.
Jiang Xiuyan's face felt hot when he looked at her, but she was still a little curious about how he could tell that she was not in good condition recently.
"Just now in the Hermès store, the store manager you know kept giving you support, and what he said didn't sound fake. You must have never been alone with other male customers before, right?"
As Han Zhe said this, he was also observing Jiang Xiuyan's expression.
Jiang Xiuyan hummed, her expression becoming serious: "But this is actually mainly because most of the men who go to beauty salons are artists, and the main customers are still mostly women.
Although there are artists who are interested in me.”
She glanced at Han Zhe, and seeing that he was indifferent, she continued without leaving a trace: "But I don't like artists very much. After all, I have been in this circle for a while, and I know very well how much the male idols and actors in this circle play.
They may not have much money, but if they are discovered by the media, they will be harassed by their fanatical fans and exposed on the Internet, and their jobs will also be unstable.
Anyway, I don’t really like artists.”
After finishing speaking, Jiang Xiuyan looked at Han Zhe and saw that his smile had become somewhat teasing. She blushed slightly and continued, "It's not that no one has come to me specifically to apply for a card, and then said they wanted to go out for dinner or something, but I'm not stupid. Work is work. If I sacrifice myself for a card, wouldn't that be a big loss?
Moreover, if one customer invites you out today and another customer invites you out tomorrow, will you go? The circle is so small, there are only so many men who come to the beauty salon, and there are also colleagues who are eager to steal your customers, so how can you keep a secret?
So I don’t really like doing business with men, unless there is a professional need for an artist, then it doesn’t matter, I’m not too pretty, and those artists have seen pretty girls before, after all, there are many female artists who I think are pretty!”
Han Zhe nodded, then laughed: "So, if the situation wasn't so difficult recently, you probably wouldn't come out with me alone just to win a long-term customer, right?"
“That may also be because of…” Jiang Xiuyan wanted to refute, but Han Zhe shook his head slightly.
"When I went to see you, I didn't look like someone who was particularly wealthy, and I don't look like a handsome guy now. After thinking about it, what other reason could you have for coming here other than for performance?"
Han Zhe finished speaking and smiled, "How can you tell that I have long-term consumption potential? Aren't you afraid that I am tempted by your beauty?"
"Well, I've been working for a long time after all, so I have a certain eye, okay?" Jiang Xiuyan snorted.
"I can see that you don't just top up your account because you're lustful, or because you want to save face in front of me. At least when you decided to apply for the card, I really felt that you just wanted to vent your anger on me. Maybe it was because of my good service attitude to you, right?"
Jiang Xiuyan raised the corner of her mouth: "Or, our Han Zhe fell in love with me at first sight?"
She winked at Han Zhe playfully while she spoke. The action was natural, but after the wink, she couldn't help laughing: "But I think the former is more likely."
Han Zhe nodded, and then became curious: “Then it stands to reason that we can keep in touch through KaTalk or something like that. It doesn’t make sense that you would agree to my invitation, right?”
"What do you mean I'll agree if you invite me?" Jiang Xiuyan glanced at him and raised her chin slightly: "I've also thought about it carefully, okay?"
“Although you often secretly look at me when you are cutting hair” Jiang Xiuyan first deliberately raised her eyebrows at Han Zhe, straightened her body, and shook Da Lei gently. She saw that Han Zhe’s gaze could not help but freeze for a moment, and couldn’t help but smiled and said: “But overall, it is quite restrained, and inexplicably gives people a very frank feeling.”
"You didn't intend to strengthen your contact with me afterwards. If Annie hadn't deliberately caused trouble for me and made you feel a little uncomfortable, you probably wouldn't even plan to apply for the card, right?"
Han Zhe nodded. At first, he really just planned to get a haircut and be done with it. Although going to a beauty salon felt good, there were indeed a lot of people there, and he had to queue up to make an appointment.
"Isn't that simple? It's rare to meet someone who looks a little down and out but is actually quite rich, and who doesn't have any special feelings towards me. I'm not against this kind of thing, but we have to start as friends, right?"
Jiang Xiuyan said very frankly: "Although you are a little fat, you are not ugly, tall, and you seem to be easy-going and honest when you speak. If you have money, there is nothing wrong with making friends. I am the same age as you, 25 years old, I can't not have a friend, right?"
"Let's chat more if we can get along. Even if things don't go well for us later, we can still just be friends. I can also ask you to come to the beauty salon more often so that I can make some money."
After Jiang Xiuyan finished speaking, she sighed: "But who would have thought that you are so rich?"
"So your thoughts have changed now?" Han Zhe smiled and turned his head to look at her. Jiang Xiuyan's cheeks were flushed, and she turned her face away from him and said, "A little bit."
"A little bit?" Han Zhe put out his cigarette and moved closer. Jiang Xiuyan moved her eyes away unnaturally and opened the window. But when she was done, she saw Han Zhe was still looking at her with a smile. This time she was embarrassed and angrily reached out and gently pushed away his face that was deliberately getting close to her.
"You have changed a lot! Okay? Originally I thought that as long as I worked hard enough, there was nothing I couldn't do on my own. But now I know that there are some things that I can't do even if I work hard. It's all your fault!"
Jiang Xiuyan glanced at him with some resentment: "Are you satisfied?"
Han Zhe liked her honesty very much, so he raised the corners of his mouth and sat down honestly: "I am very satisfied."
"We're here. Let's go. I only had two small breads for lunch and I'm starving." Jiang Xiuyan stopped the car and pushed the door open with some annoyance.
Han Zhe stretched, also very hungry, and pushed the door and got out of the car. After the two of them approached, he raised his hand slightly. Jiang Xiuyan hesitated for a moment, then tacitly extended her hand and hooked it - the calm conversation in the car not only did not make the atmosphere between the two worse, but instead made the two of them get rid of the hallucination brought by money, and they had a tacit understanding.
This western restaurant called "Burnning" located in Gangnam District was quite crowded. Even though it was almost nine o'clock, there were still many customers sitting in the restaurant. Han Zhe and Jiang Xiuyan even had to wait in line for more than ten minutes before they got a vacant table.
The environment was ordinary, with more than a dozen tables in the hall, covered with white cloths, and the waiters were busy coming and going, making a little noise. Han Zhe didn't think it was bad. After all, if it was him a day ago, he probably wouldn't even dare to enter the door of this store. After all, it was a Western restaurant, and any meal would cost a lot of money.
But now, he can look at the menu calmly, focusing only on the dishes and content, and not caring about the prices behind the dotted line.
"I heard that the flame steak here is very delicious. They use fillet. The pasta is also great. I saw the rose cream pasta on Instagram and it looks very beautiful."
Jiang Xiuyan introduced it to him. Han Zhe simply flipped through the menu. There was nothing special. Although he was poor, he was not ignorant. After a general understanding, he stretched out his hand to greet the waiter. The waiter came hurriedly: "Hello, can I order?"
"Both of us should order this combo, plus a serving of rose cream pasta, and an extra piece of this mature fillet for me. Forget the drinks. You still have to drive, so forget about the drinks."
Han Zhe was not anxious at all. After a brief chat in the car, he knew that he would definitely not be able to touch Jiang Xiuyan today. Although the other party clearly had a good impression of him, she was relatively cautious. To put it bluntly, she was worried that Han Zhe just wanted to play with her and simply wanted to lust after her body.
Then there's no need to drink any alcohol. Wouldn't he suffer if he gets drunk?
Han Zhe thinks Jiang Xiuyan is pretty good. If he had seen a girl like Jiang Xiuyan on the street a day ago, he would not have dared to go up and talk to her. It was not because he was timid or naive, but simply because he knew that he was not qualified and was not worthy of her.
So he didn't want to be too hasty. Play is play and girlfriend is girlfriend. He thought Jiang Xiuyan's appearance, figure, personality and values were all great, so it might be possible to get along well with her.
Don't let down good girls and don't waste bad women. Han Zhe has always felt that this is the truth of life if you want to live a more free and easy life.
Jiang Xiuyan let Han Zhe order the food without any objection. She took the initiative to reach out and gently help him set the tableware. She smiled and watched him order before she said, "What about you? Don't you want to drink something?"
Han Zhe shook his head, not knowing what to say - he had just fallen to the lowest point in his life this morning because of a hangover, but now he has reached the peak of his life. Between the ups and downs, he still couldn't forget the pain of drinking and making mistakes this morning. At least today, he didn't want to drink, he wanted to feel everything today soberly.
"It's no fun to drink alone." He said, and smiled at Jiang Xiuyan: "Next time we go out on a date."
Jiang Xiuyan was delighted to hear his words and couldn't help but smile sweetly: "Okay~ Then wait until this weekend, okay?"
"Yes." Han Zhe nodded and agreed. The waiter confirmed the order and went to work immediately.
So, Jiang Xiuyan and Han Zhe drank drinks and started chatting.
When talking about work, Han Zhe didn't know how to explain, but he didn't lie. He just said that he was currently an ordinary office worker in the company. After listening to him, Jiang Xiuyan blinked and didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she took the initiative to share her life.
For example, she actually goes to the gym to do Pilates every day, and she also has favorite music, favorite food, and favorite movies.
When a girl is willing to share her life so actively, it is actually a confession.
Han Zhe just smiled, nodded and listened, occasionally agreeing. Looking at Jiang Xiuyan's sweet smile and the light in his eyes, he suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart - if there was no money, for whom would the light in her eyes shine?
Or in other words, if she had no money, how would she look at him?
The sense of expansion brought by money gradually faded, and was replaced by another desire that was gradually rising. That was ambition, and it was also the inferiority complex that Han Zhe had always buried deep in his heart, reminding him that you are still you, and there is no difference between you today and you yesterday.
Want more money.
Want more power.
I want to become better until I can stand in front of anyone with dignity without having to hide anything.
Han Zhe's eyes gradually became firm, and then he made up his mind.
There is no need to go far away, the system has already pointed out the direction for him. So he should start by solving the problem of his slightly fat body and rebuild his confidence bit by bit!
