Chapter 187
As for the place to eat, Lu Ming deliberately chose a restaurant near the Bund.

I went to Disney yesterday, of course I will go to the Bund to take a look at it tonight and experience the most prosperous scenery in Huaguo.

Lu Ming and Xia Mengying can be regarded as the second generation at any rate, but since they grew up so old, they rarely leave Sichuan and Shu.

In other words, they still have the feeling that bumpkins want to learn more when they go to the city.

The restaurant is a seafood buffet.

The per capita consumption is 200 yuan, which is very cheap in the high-consumption magic city.

We are all young people, and the formal Chinese food tastes cold, so it is better to eat this kind of free and romantic seafood buffet.

It was close to six o'clock when we arrived at Sicimiya Seafood Buffet Restaurant.

There was a row of young men and women sitting at the door, who seemed to be queuing up to eat.

Lu Ming took out his mobile phone, clicked on WeChat, and sent a WeChat message to Orange Juice.

A minute later, a fat man wearing a black down jacket with at least two hundred catties came out.

At a glance, I saw Lu Ming and Xia Mengying, with a big smile on their lips.

"Boss, sister Ying, good evening!"

To be honest, this was the first time Lu Ming saw Orange Juice in person.

Never even seen a photo before.

In imagination, he should be a thin handsome guy with long hair and looks a bit decadent.

There is even a hint of Wenqing temperament.

What he never expected was that he turned out to be a big fat man who picks his feet.

At the entrance of the buffet where there is light snow, there are fine beads of sweat on the forehead, looking from a distance, it looks like a layer of salad oil.

"Orange juice?" Lu Ming hesitated.

"Haha, don't be so cynical, my name is Chen Long, you can call me Xiao Chen."

"Xiao Chen..." The corners of Lu Ming's mouth twitched, "I'm only a freshman now, so Xiao Chen must be 27 or [-] years old."

After struggling for a while, Lu Ming finally called out "Brother Chen".

Chen Long was overjoyed, and felt that his whole body instantly grew taller.

Being called "Brother" by the No. [-] and No. [-] best sellers on YuanDian.com this year, it's cool.

Walk to one meter in front of Lu Ming and Xia Mengying.

After looking at the two of them for a few seconds, he sighed: "Boss, seeing you in real life, I fully understand the true meaning of what you told me before that you are just a little handsome, that is, very handsome."

"Sister Ying, although there is only one photo of you, but seeing you in real life today, I have to envy you, you two are so talented and beautiful, you are a perfect match."

"I'm a single dog, I'm so envious."

Xia Mengying covered her mouth and smiled, and said modestly: "Thank you, we are late, Brother Chen, you have been waiting for a long time."

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I just came here not long ago."

Being praised by the beauty, Chen Long was a little flustered.

Suddenly I thought of those female editors in the office, hey, the gap between people is still quite large, and they would be beaten if they compared them a little bit.

Rubbing his hands together, he said, "I've already taken the seat. It's cold outside. Let's go in quickly and chat while we eat."

"Okay." Lu Ming nodded, pulled Xia Mengying and followed Chen Long into the restaurant.

I remember when Lu Ming first came into contact with editors, Lu Ming was still a newcomer.

I feel that the editor is a superior existence.

As the writing time increases and my grades get better and better, I feel that the editor is actually quite approachable.

then.

Today, when he really looked at the editor of Orange Juice who had worked with him for more than a year, Lu Ming felt that all the good imaginations were smashed to pieces.

Big fat man, big guy who picks his feet, single dog.

Hey.

They are all social animals in reality, but they are quite real in this way.

At least, Chen Long is easy to get along with.

One sit down.

As a landlord, he enthusiastically introduced Modu, and then took Lu Ming to pick up the meal.

I didn't think it before, but now, Lu Ming thinks that Chen Long is a good chatterer.

He feels a bit like his mother.

Just crackling in the ear and talking endlessly.

Seafood such as salmon, sea prawns, pipi prawns, crabs, abalone, etc. are served on the table in turn.

There are two pots with cooking ingredients on the dining table.

One is a grill pot and the other is a soup pot.

The barbecue pot is used to grill meat and vegetables, and the stock pot is used to cook seafood.

After eating for half an hour, both Lu Ming and Xia Mengying liked the ingredients and taste here very much.

"How is it? Does this cafeteria suit your taste?" Chen Long asked with a smile while wiping his sweat.

Xia Mengying nodded: "It's delicious."

Lu Ming also smiled and said, "This is the best seafood buffet restaurant I've ever eaten at, and the price is very reasonable."

"Haha, of course, you can see my tonnage."

Chen Long patted his stomach, but his stomach didn't move, but the flesh on his face trembled: "I usually don't have any hobbies after get off work, I just like to eat, so this one is the most satisfying buffet I've eaten in Shanghai .”

"By the way, boss, the annual meeting will be held at seven o'clock tomorrow night, but you have to wear formal clothes."

"A suit, right?"

"Of course, you are the focus of the audience, and you have to take the stage to accept the award and give a speech. By the way, there are many media paying attention to you this time."

Chen Long swallowed the third-line meat in his mouth, and said: "You are only a freshman now, and people in the industry call you a genius if you can write such an excellent novel."

"Haha, that's ridiculous." Lu Ming was a little embarrassed when he said it.

"It's really not nonsense." Chen Long sighed, "Especially "Dafeng Drummer" and "The Name of the Night", it is not like a student can write it, but the facts are in front of you, and Ah, you are a third edition, and each book is kept above the [-]-word update, especially the last two. In the past few months, the daily [-]-word update has been updated. Such a high-quality burst of updates, even the old winner, sighs Not as good."

Having said this, Lu Ming not only blushed, but also felt extremely uncomfortable.

It would be fine if he really wrote it.

But it was Xia Mengying who gave it to him. At best, he made a humanoid book launcher.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking: "There won't be any interviews tomorrow, right? Or let me tell you about the contents of the book?"

"Probably not. Tomorrow is mainly about singing performances and award presentations. I don't have much time."

"By the way!" Chen Long suddenly remembered something and said, "Boss, you will come to the company tomorrow morning. The film and television adaptation rights of your "Dafeng Drummer" were finally obtained by Jiahua Film and Television, and you have to go with them tomorrow. Sign some contracts, and discuss the general direction of changes by the way.”

Lu Ming nodded and said, "No problem. You told me a few days ago. I remember. We will arrive at the origin before nine o'clock tomorrow."

"over."

One and a half hours for a meal.

From the slight embarrassment when we first met, we almost talked about everything later.

Both Lu Ming and Xia Mengying enjoyed this meal very happily.

Near eight o'clock.

Lu Ming was about to end the meeting, but was stopped by Chen Long who had a wretched smile on his face.

"Boss, did you forget something?"

"what happened?"

"I'm on an important mission. If I can't do it, I'll probably be drowned in their spit when I go to work tomorrow."

Lu Ming was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that Chen Long had already said on the phone yesterday that he wanted to sign those female editors.

"That's all, not many, more than 20."

Chen Long then took out a stack of photos from the briefcase next to him and placed them on the dining table in front of Lu Ming.

took the photo.

Look at them one by one.

Most of them are photocopied photos taken from news and screenshots on the Internet.

There are a few single photos that I passed to Orange Juice.

That was taken by Xia Mengying for herself in Jiuzhaigou, natural and handsome.

"Who took these photos for you? Why don't I know?" Xia Mengying asked after reading the photos.

Lu Ming shook his head: "I don't know either. Some were taken by the media during the summer vacation, and some of them were secretly taken by some classmates. There are photos from high school and the last semester of freshman year."

Zhao Xia Mengying chuckled: "It seems that paparazzi are everywhere."

After eating, the three chatted for a while, and Chen Long left first.

After all, I have to go to work tomorrow.

A day's work is also tiring.

He also wanted to go home and rest earlier.

Seeing Chen Long get into the Didi car and leave, Lu Ming put his arms around Xia Mengying's waist and squeezed it gently.

There was an editor present just now, and the whole meal was a regular meal and chat, without even flirting.

One was because of the embarrassment of having outsiders present, and the other was because Chen Long was single, so provoking him in front of him didn't seem very interesting.

From Sicimiya Cafeteria to the Bund, it only takes seven or eight minutes to walk.

At night, dense crowds of people have gathered in this area.

A large part of the shuttles on the road are good cars, and Lu Ming even saw some world-class luxury cars worth tens of millions.

But he just looked at it.

It never occurred to him to buy a luxury car for decoration.

After all, his father's big G and his mother's BMW are still very good in Zigong City, so as a rich second generation, he has no desire to show off since he was a child.

What is there to show off in the ordinary life I am used to.

But there is one thing, when the freshman semester starts, he will have to use his weekends to learn how to drive.

At that time, I have to buy a scooter anyway.

Not to mention how expensive it is, two or three million is enough.

Passing through the crowds and countless bustling shops, Lu Ming walked slowly to the Huangpu River with Xia Mengying in his arms.

To be sure, most of the people who come here are tourists.

Many excited and screaming little girls took selfies with various scissors on their mobile phones.

There are also various group photos of uncles and aunts, especially aunts, who always like to take out a silk scarf for some reason, swinging it against the wind and posing in a very age-like pose to take pictures.

As soon as Xia Mengying arrived here, she began to fiddle with her camera.

Take photos of pedestrians, buildings, rivers, and colorful night sky.

The clicking sound kept ringing in Lu Ming's ears.

"Lu Mingming."

"Ok?"

Turning her head, she saw Xia Mengying was still taking pictures.

"I suddenly realized that I had taken tens of thousands of photos."

"So much?"

Lu Ming was surprised. In less than a year, there were tens of thousands of photos, and they were not the standard shooting of a studio. If he took them himself, he had already taken a lot.

"Yes, so, I just thought, I took a picture of our life, and I can look it up at any time in the future, recalling a certain moment in a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, where and what we did together .”

Lu Ming smiled: "It seems to be pretty good. When you say that, I feel that I can't remember many things in the past. I feel that time flies so fast that I have come to this moment."

"So we have to experience a lot of firsts, and then I record them so that we won't forget them."

Putting down the camera, Xia Mengying turned her head and blinked her big eyes, like the stars in the sky: "The time we spend together is not copied invariably, but has different highlights every day."

"it is good."

Lu Ming took a few steps forward, looked at the Pearl of the Orient in the distance and gestured for a while, then spontaneously made a gesture of holding it with both hands.

From Xia Mengying's point of view, it seems that she is holding that pearl in her palm.

Xia Mengying smiled sweetly: "Lu Mingming, you are very good now~"

Lu Ming was full of embarrassment: "I have been with the photographer for a long time, and I guess I can become a professional model."

"Hee hee, okay, then I'll shoot~"

"bring it on."

-

Lu Ming and Xia Mengying didn't bring the formal clothes to YuanDian.com.

Even if it is stuffed in the travel bag, it is too much trouble to take it out and iron it.

So, on the way back to the hotel from the Bund, the two bought a formal suit each.

Lu Ming obviously wears a suit, with thermal underwear inside to keep out the cold, and a down jacket outside; Xia Mengying's is a small black suit with a hip-wrapping skirt, and a down jacket outside.

Originally, Xia Mengying didn't intend to go to the origin, but Lu Ming would not separate from her.

In addition to the signing of the film and television adaptation rights contract in the morning, the film and television company also wanted to see his and Xia Mengying's real faces, and then talk about acting training before starting the film.

And at the annual meeting in the evening, Lu Ming himself will give a speech to accept the award. At such a glorious moment, Xia Mengying gave him the two novels, so how could there be no Xia Mengying.

She wants to witness her own success, and also to record every bit of the wonderful life of the two of them.

Eight fifty-five.

Lu Ming and Xia Mengying came to Yuandian.com, and were taken to the living room by Chen Long who had been waiting in the foyer and the editor-in-chief beauty.

Along the way, there were rustling discussions on the side.

"Look, that's Blockbuster and his girlfriend!"

"Golden boy and jade girl, talented and beautiful, how can there be such a perfect person in the world!"

"Yes, looking at us again, it seems that there is a lifetime of distance, but I don't know if I will be so outstanding in my next life."

"I'm just envious of the girlfriend of Yi Blockbuster. I think I'm not bad looking. I still have two flats in Shanghai. It's a pity that I have no fate with Yi Blockbuster. If I could see him earlier, the person standing beside him now Maybe it's me."

"Hey, you really know how to daydream!"

"Hmph, I can't even think about it~ Really!"

Listening to the discussion, Chen Long was fine, but the editor-in-chief was a little embarrassed.

He smiled at Lu Ming and Xia Mengying, did not speak, and quickened his pace.

After 5 minutes, we arrived at the living room.

open the door.

There were already several people sitting inside.

The clothes are bright, the men are in suits and leather shoes, and they touch the shiny gel water, while the women have a noble temperament and a proud face.

But after seeing Lu Ming and Xia Mengying coming in.

All stood up.

One of the older women smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, Ms. Xia, I finally see you."

"I'm Liu Anna from Jiahua Film and Television, and this is my business card."

Lu Ming took two quick steps, took the business card and took a look.

The position is Vice President.

So he smiled and said, "Hi, Mr. Liu."
