When Zou Xiaodong came to Tong Juan's office, she found that Tong Juan was sitting on the sofa and grinding the grinder along the coffee. Seeing Zou Xiaodong coming to take a look, Tong Juan immediately stood up with a smile and said, "Mr. Zou is here, sit down quickly. I'm grinding coffee for you."
Haha, I have long heard that Mr. Tong likes coffee very much, and today I saw that he is indeed well-deserved. Zou Xiaodong walked to the sofa opposite Tong Juan and sat down. Looking at the glass flask on the table that looked like some kind of laboratory flask, he couldn't help but smile.
Hahaha, you like to drink tea, but I can't drink it. I still feel that this coffee suits my taste best. Having said this, Tong Juan unscrewed a crystal valve on the glass tube and saw coffee flowing into the coffee cup along the glass tube.
What would you like to drink, black coffee, Americano, or mocha?
Hearing Tong Juan's words, Zou Xiaodong looked at the dark brown coffee juice in the coffee cup held by Tong Juan. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid of hardship. Let's have a latte with sugar!"
Haha, looking at Zou Xiaodong's somewhat frightened face, Tong Juan said with a smile: "Okay, let's have a latte."
With that said, Tong Juan got up and went to the corner of the rest area, used a latte art cup to collect some frothed milk, then came back and sat down again, picked up the coffee cup that had arrived, shook it a few times, and started pouring it. With very skillful skills, a flower was soon pulled out of the coffee cup.
If your technique is not good, don’t laugh at it. Tong Juan handed the coffee to Zou Xiaodong and said with a smile: "If you want to add sugar, you can add it yourself!"
With that said, he pushed the sugar bowl on the table in front of Zou Xiaodong.
Haha, it's very good, better than those served by professional baristas in cafes. Zou Xiaodong gave a thumbs up and praised, then picked up the stand, added two cubes of sugar into his coffee cup, then picked up a spoon and started to stir slowly.
Tong Juan smiled when she saw this, and then began to play with the "experimental equipment" in front of her. She said with a smile: "Although it is very convenient to use fully automatic coffee machines now, and the flavor extracted is also good, I still prefer to use traditional methods. Squeeze and brew, so that the brewed coffee will be smoother and retain the original flavor of the coffee.
Try it, this is Geisha Kaifei from Central and South America, it has a very good flavor. "
After hearing Tong Juan's recommendation, Zou Xiaodong picked up the coffee and took a sip. Then he nodded and said, "It's good. It has a very fresh aroma, and the taste is very mellow and silky."
Hahaha, Tong Juan smiled, then took a cup of espresso, added a little water, stirred slowly and took a sip.
Zou Xiaodong frowned when he saw this scene. In his opinion, he really couldn't understand how Tong Juan could drink such a bitter thing. It didn't add milk or fake sugar. She was really a cruel person.
Tong Juan smiled upon seeing this, and then said to Zou Xiaodong: "I have invited you here as a guest today. Of course, on the one hand, I want to congratulate you in public on your promotion to the vice president of the company. On the other hand, I also want to talk to you. You chat, keep in touch and connect emotionally.
In the past, because both of us were busy with work, if I hadn't been on a business trip, and if you hadn't been on a business trip, there would have been only a handful of times in Anxi at the same time, and the opportunities to meet were even rarer, and we didn't even have a good chat.
It's fine now. There will be many opportunities for us to get along in the future, so this relationship must be maintained well. "
Hearing Tong Juan's words, Zou Xiaodong had a smile on his face. What Tong Juan said is not wrong. In the past, because the two of them often traveled on business and had work reasons, there were relatively few opportunities to meet. Every time they met, they were either attending various meetings or talking about work. It's really rare that I want to sit down and drink coffee and chat leisurely like this.
Another reason is that Zou Xiaodong's reputation is not very good, especially his private life is relatively messy, so Tong Juan doesn't really want to get involved with him or deal with him.
As for why Zou Xiaodong was invited here again, the main reason is that things are different now. Zou Xiaodong was promoted to deputy general manager. Strictly speaking, they are colleagues at the same level. There will be many opportunities to deal with each other in the future, so the relationship cannot be too intense. stiff.
No, Tong Juan specifically asked her secretary to wait there and invited him to be her guest.
"Mr. Tong, if you don't say anything today, I will come to visit you another day. You are right, we were too busy in the past. But it doesn't matter, we will have many opportunities to get along in the future." Zou Xiaodong replied with a smile.
Zou Xiaodong's words were also a statement to Tong Juan, that is, let the past pass, and let's start over from the beginning.
Tong Juan smiled immediately after hearing this, then looked at Zou Xiaodong and said, "Mr. Zou said that we must strengthen our contacts in the future."
Speaking of this, Tong Juan glanced at Zou Xiaodong, then stirred the coffee with a spoon and asked Zou Xiaodong: "As soon as Mr. Zou became the deputy general manager, he was entrusted with important tasks. Not only did he continue to lead the work of the production department, but he also Taking over the infrastructure work from Mr. Dong, I’m afraid it’s going to be a lot of pressure.”
After hearing Tong Juan's words, Zou Xiaodong glanced at the face of the other party's half-aged lady, but still had charm, then smiled and sighed and said: "Yes, it is really stressful to take over so much work at once. The production department is The work at the side is okay, I am relatively familiar with it, and I can handle it. But this infrastructure thing is a complete black eye.
I don’t know what Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhang think. "
After complaining, Zou Xiaodong looked at Tong Juan and asked with a smile: "Mr. Tong usually has more contact with Mr. Dong. I wonder if you can teach me in this aspect. Where should I start?"
Hearing Zou Xiaodong's words, Tong Juan smiled brightly on her face. She smiled and said: "Haha, Mr. Dong and I are not too familiar. After all, we are not of the same age group, and there is a generation gap in our interactions.
As for Mr. Dong, he has always kept his own side of things, and we don’t have much contact.
However, I heard that things at Mr. Dong’s place were quite complicated. It was said that there was an accident some time ago. Two decoration workers fell from under the scaffolding, and one of them was said to have directly pierced the vertical steel pipe. His body was pierced and he died immediately.
The other one fell into the green belt and saved his life. However, he suffered multiple fractures and internal bleeding. I heard he is still in the ICU. "
Having said this, Tong Juan flipped her hair, then leaned over and whispered to Zou Xiaodong: "I heard that the person in charge of the renovation of those buildings was Mr. Dong's wife's brother, but I don't know if that's true. "
Hearing Tong Juan's words, Zou Xiaodong's heart was moved. He looked at the woman opposite and said something awesome in his heart. Then he pretended to be surprised and asked hurriedly: "There is also this matter, why didn't we listen? Let's get through it." (End of chapter)
