In the main world, it is difficult to find cruise ships departing from Asia to Europe. Generally speaking, luxury cruises in Europe take a flight to a European seaport, and then take a cruise ship, so that you can experience the feeling of arriving in another country after sleeping. .
Of course, this is the world of film and television dramas after all. For Lin Yue, who has experienced the worlds of "Ip Man" and "Prometheus", anything is possible in parallel spaces.
Watching Wang Manni get on the boat, he returned to his suite at the yacht club, opened the champagne in the ice bucket, poured half a glass into the glass next to him, carried it to the balcony, and looked at the low-flying seagulls in the distance. Take a sip of wine.
I remember the last time I took a cruise, it was still in the world of "To Our Dying Youth". At that time, he was talking on the phone with Ayang on the balcony about developing new business, and three women were fighting landlords in the room. , Zheng Wei has the best poker skills. When he finished the phone call and entered the room, Ruan Wan and Zhu Xiaobei's faces were already covered with notes.
In Ruan Guan's words, what you want on a cruise is the feeling of being isolated from the world and leaving behind the trivial matters of the world. People like you who are still thinking about working on a cruise are a sheer waste of money.
What’s interesting is that the woman whom I used to love and love has become the target of hatred this time. To use a rough word to describe it, is this considered ruthless? But if you think about it seriously, Wang Manni is a woman who really deserves to be criticized, because she has never thought about working together with her partner to settle down in Shanghai. What she pursues is either the sophistication of a person or the diamond king. The fifth child, who treats her in every possible way, is considerate and tolerant, such as Zhang Zhi and Jiang Chen, are dispensable existences in her eyes, and there is undisguised scrutiny and clear boundaries in their eyes.
After drinking the wine in the glass, Lin Yue returned to the cabin and slept. He got up from the bed at nightfall, took a shower, left the guest room, and walked to the open-air bar on the upper deck.
At the same time, Wang Manni, who was dressed up carefully and looking forward to her romantic encounter, sat on the high stool of the bar counter. She took a few glances at the drink list handed over by the waiter and ordered a glass of Laphroaig with ice. .
The waiter went to pour the wine, and Wang Manni took out her mobile phone, took a photo of herself and sent it to Moments.
Da, da, da~
With the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor, a man wearing a black suit, white cropped pants, and a mustache walked to the seat next to her and sat down.
"Please have a glass of Yamazaki Twelve Years Old. Drinks are one for one. Thank you."
Wang Manni sent a voice message to her friend, picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip. The pungent smell of peat and the unique dusty smell of Laphroaig filled her mouth, which was extremely spicy.
"It's my first time to drink whiskey. Japanese wine tastes better. Let me buy you a drink."
"Please, give her a drink and charge it to my account."
"You know which country the whiskey you ordered is most popular."
"..."
After drinking the third glass of wine invited by Liang Zhengxian, Wang Manni relaxed her guard a little. At this time, she noticed a person sitting one seat away from her.
When the man asked the waiter for a glass of lemonade, he felt that the voice was familiar, so he turned around to look.
Not only was the voice familiar, but the face was even more familiar. He was the young man who entertained her for almost two hours the past few days. He was also Zhong Xiaoqin's brother-in-law. I remember his name was Chen Xu.
"It's you! Why are you here?"
Lin Yue glanced at her: "Why am I here? You can come, but I can't come?"
Wang Manni was at a loss for words, wondering how she could meet this lingering and annoying ghost anywhere.
Next to him, Liang Zhengxian saw her expression was a little complicated: "What? Do you know him?"
Wang Manni said vaguely: "You can be considered...a customer of mine."
Liang Zhengxian saw the waiter hand Lin Yue a glass of lemonade, and said in his extremely irregular Chinese pronunciation: "Why do you need a glass of water when you come to the bar? I'll buy you a drink."
Lin Yue responded without thinking: "Okay."
"What do you want to drink?"
“I heard that Japanese whiskey is delicious, so let’s have a cup of Yoichi 10 Years.”
The waiter looked at him with a deep look on his face, then turned around to get a drink from the wine rack, but Liang Zhengxian's face looked a little ugly.
Most people may not be able to understand the meaning behind this, but he understands it very well.
It is common knowledge that whiskey originated in Scotland. The Japanese came into contact with whiskey in the middle of the 19th century. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that a Japanese went to England to learn the technology of making whiskey. After he returned to China, he met another The Japanese established the first whiskey distillery, Yamazaki Distillery.
However, in the following years, the two Japanese had differences in their brewing concepts. The former believed that traditional Scottish craftsmanship should be adhered to, while the latter believed that whiskey should be produced to suit Japanese tastes, so the two parted ways.
The former left the Yamazaki Distillery and founded his own brand, Yijia. Lin Yuedian's Yoichi is a series under this whiskey brand.
The latter continued to operate the Yamazaki Distillery and developed into the famous Suntory Company, which owns Yamazaki, Hibiki, Hakushu and other whiskey brands.
He said Japanese whiskey was delicious, so he turned around and ordered a glass of whiskey brewed with traditional Scottish craftsmanship. Combined with the differences between the founders of the two brands, this was a slap in the face in a very connotative way.
And there is another point. Although the Yoichi 10-year-old is lower than the Yamazaki 12-year-old, the price is still higher, which coincides with the age difference between the two people.
This young man... is very powerful.
Wang Manni noticed something was wrong with Liang Zhengxian's eyes: "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Seeing the waiter put the glass in front of Lin Yue, he raised his glass and said in a gentlemanly manner: "Liang Zhengxian, cheers."
"Chen Xu."
Lin Yue raised his glass, drank the wine in one gulp, said "thank you for the service", got up and left the bar, heading to his room.
Liang Zhengxian didn't understand. He didn't expect him to be so straightforward. He left Wang Manni and turned away. She thought he would compete with her for the beauty in front of her.
Of course Lin Yue would not tell Liang Zhengxian that he came to the bar not for Wang Manni, but for him. Now that he had paid for money and skill points, and had paved the way to confront them both later, what was he still doing here?
Save Wang Manni from the scumbag?
Do not make jokes.
He did like her in "To Our Dying Youth", but the woman's outlook on life in "Only Thirty" didn't fit with his.
Renting a house with a monthly salary of 15,000 and 7,000 yuan, just for a balcony; YSL, Dior, and Tom Ford are neatly placed in the locker; he threatened to pursue quality when he was thirty, so he still paid 3,000 yuan after discount. Plenty of shoes; after getting a cruise ticket rewarded by the company, she spent 18,000 yuan to upgrade to a yacht club suite... She never thought about saving money, and spent all her income on what she thought was a refined life.
And what are serious men of this age group doing with the same income?
In order to save enough money for the down payment of a house, I shared a room with others, carpooled, worked overtime, and recharged my batteries. I didn’t dare to travel, didn’t dare to get sick, didn’t dare to quit my job, and didn’t dare to buy luxury goods. People have to prepare for marriage, and those who are married are faced with having children, education, and retirement. In short, no matter how much money is saved, it is not enough.
The key is that Wang Manni, who spends her money freely, thinks she has seen the world, so she looks down on men who are well-matched, and shifts her attention to men of better quality. While imagining that they will fall in love with her at first sight, she also pretends to be a down-to-earth honest man. Use it as a spare tire. When you have enough fun, or your dream of marrying into a rich family is shattered, you can always find an honest person to take over.
However, Wang Manni feels good about herself, is kind-hearted, aboveboard, has a bottom line in doing things, and believes that it is her right to pursue better things.
Yes, it is her right to spend extravagantly and fish for a wealthy husband.
But people who can make a lot of money are not fools. On the contrary, they are very smart. If you don’t love a young girl who is pure and loving and can project your own values, or a second-generation female official from a wealthy family who can help her career, you can marry someone with emotional experience. An older leftover girl who organizes a story party?
The title of this TV series, for a woman, is just thirty...; for a woman like Wang Manni, for the rich, it is just a joke...
"This person... is very strange." Liang Zhengxian looked at Lin Yue's back and said.
"This person is very annoying. Not only does he make things difficult for me at work, but he also tells my good friend to stay away from me."
"Then, you might as well stay away from him. There is a saying: Out of sight, out of mind."
"I thought so too. Who knew we'd meet him again on a ship? I'm so unlucky."
"Are you also unlucky to meet me?"
"..."
In the evening of the next day, Wang Manni came back from the shore and put away her things to go to Liang Zhengxian's date. Just when Lin Yue opened the door and came out, one of their rooms was on the left side of the corridor, and the other was on the right side of the corridor, very close to each other.
"Is there any mistake? Why do you follow me wherever I go?"
Lin Yue ignored her and walked straight outside.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, do you know it's very rude of you to do this?"
Lin Yue paused and looked back at her: "Is this the tone you use to greet others politely and kindly? I got on the boat earlier than you, and I bought a ticket for the yacht club at the beginning, so I followed you? Stop being so sentimental, okay?"
Wang Manni suddenly lost her temper and didn't know how to respond.
Lin Yue turned around and walked away.
At this time Liang Zhengxian came over from inside: "What's wrong?"
She recounted what had just happened.
Liang Zhengxian said: "Don't be angry, I have a way to help you get revenge."
ps: Two chapters in a row, no more tonight.
