Chapter 541: Shen Siyi(1/2)
Although he complained about his mother in his heart, Zhang Jin still looked like an obedient and good boy on the surface.
At one o'clock at noon, Zhang Jin parked his car outside a restaurant in Pudong. This was the place he had made an appointment with Aunt Shen's daughter so that she could return to the company after lunch.
After parking the car, Zhang Jin walked into the restaurant and found his mother and Aunt Shen in the booth. At this time, there was a girl about his own age sitting in the seat. Although he didn't know how to put on makeup, his eyesight was not bad. You can tell by looking at it that the girl must be wearing light makeup.
Of course, light makeup is compared to heavy makeup.
His view on makeup is light makeup for light colors and heavy makeup for dark colors. As for how many steps it takes, how much foundation, concealer, blush, contouring, and highlighter are applied, that is no longer within the scope of straight men's knowledge. .
"Here." Zhang Jin's mother called her son over and pushed her directly to the seat facing the girl. "Let me introduce to you, my son Zhang Jin. She is your Aunt Shen's daughter Shen Siyi."
"Hello!" Zhang Jin and Shen Siyi greeted each other with a nod and a smile.
Aunt Shen looked at the two young men with a smile, then turned to the waiter and said, "Please order."
"Siyi, come and order. You can eat whatever you want. You're welcome. My son is treating you anyway." Zhang Jin's mother handed over the menu.
"Mom, how about you order some? I'm afraid I'll order something you don't like." Shen Siyi handed the menu to her mother.
Aunt Shen pushed the menu back: "You order, you order."
Zhang Jin's mother interjected: "Siyi, you young people can just order what you want to eat. Your mother and I will order other dishes that suit our tastes."
"Yes, us elderly people have different tastes from you young people. We need to order separately. Siyi, please discuss it with Zhang Jin more and don't just focus on your own taste." Aunt Shen gestured to her daughter with her eyes.
"Okay, Mom." Shen Siyi agreed with a smile, then turned to Zhang Jin and said, "I'll choose a vegetarian dish, and you can choose a meat dish?"
Zhang Jin said: "You can choose whatever you want. I have no dietary restrictions. I can accept everything except Houttuynia Cordata and Okra."
"Okay, then I'll just choose."
Shen Siyi was not polite and began to select dishes on the menu. After she finished selecting, she handed the menu to her mother.
The two middle-aged women discussed for a while, ordered two more dishes and one soup, and then handed the flat menu to the waiter.
While waiting for the waiter to bring the food to the table, the two mothers started a mutual communication session, mainly to help the two young people get to know each other quickly.
"Zhang Jin and Siyi have established their own screenwriting studio and have undertaken script work for many film and television projects."
"Siyi, Zhang Jin opened a game company in partnership with his friends. We older people don't know much about games, but you young people should have something to talk about. By the way, son, what's the name of your company?"
Seeing the three people looking at him, Zhang Jin hesitated for a moment, but still said the name of the company that he originally used to make fun of Lei Qiu, but now might be laughed at: "My game company is called Leiren Games. Let me state in advance that the name of the company is I didn’t take it.”
Zhang Jin's mother and Aunt Shen didn't understand the joke, but they looked approving, not bad.
Only Shen Shenyi tried her best to hold back her laughter, her lips pursed into a thin line, a bit like Teacher Sa after hearing Lao Ma say she didn't like money.
After talking about career, we started talking about hobbies and interesting things since childhood.
The two mothers revealed almost all the embarrassing things that happened to their children when they were young. They looked very funny and cute, and they did not even notice the embarrassed but polite smiles on the faces of the two young people next to them.
Maybe the two mothers just want to get closer to the young people by sharing some little secrets, but in the eyes of the young people, sharing their own embarrassing stories with strangers, and not speaking out through their own mouths, is embarrassing and embarrassing. Other than leaving immediately, I had no other thoughts.
Amidst the peaceful laughter, the restaurant waiter finally brought the ordered dishes one after another.
While Zhang Jin took the initiative to serve soup to the three ladies, he was thinking about how to finish the meal quickly. But before he could think of a way, Shen Shenyi on the other side had already taken the lead and used the reason that he could not refuse.
"Mom, Auntie, Mr. Zhang, I have to leave first. The lunch break is almost over, and I have to go back to the company to clock in at two o'clock."
Aunt Shen looked at her watch and said in surprise: "Hey, it's already 1:40 so soon. Let's check out quickly."
"Mom, you eat your food, don't waste so much food." Shen Siyi quickly waved her hand to persuade.
"It's okay, don't waste it, just pack it up and go back to eat. Waiter, pack it up!" Zhang Jin's mother greeted and then asked, "By the way, Siyi, are you far back to the company?"
"It's not far. It's ten minutes away. It's quick."
"Oh, ten minutes! If you wait for another traffic light and the elevator is crowded, you will easily be late. In this case, I will ask Zhang Jin to drive you to the company, and I guarantee that you will not be late." Zhang Jin's mother said and winked at the old sister. Blinked.
"Good idea, let's trouble Zhang Jin." Aunt Shen got the hint from the old sisters and quickly echoed, "Siyi, you two go quickly. Don't be late to clock in for work. The two of us are here waiting for the waiter. Pack up the remaining dishes.”
"Zhang Jin, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and drive!" Zhang Jin's mother pushed her son.
"Then I'll pay the bill first." Zhang Jin had nothing to say, so he obeyed the wishes of the two elders and stood up.
After paying the bill, Zhang Jin drove Shen Shenyi back to the company. In fact, the other party's company was not far away. It was just a matter of turning around and crossing the road. The distance was only a few hundred meters.
"I'm here, thank you for taking me back." Shen Siyi said thank you before getting out of the car.
"You're welcome." Zhang Jin smiled.
After watching Shen Shenyi enter the office building, he turned his head and looked at the office building opposite for a few times. No wonder the scene nearby looked a bit impressive. It turned out that the half-floor office building he bought was right opposite!
Driving back to the restaurant, Zhang Jin picked up his mother and Aunt Shen who had already packed up the leftovers, and then sent them to his place to sit.
As soon as they got in the car, Zhang Jin's mother said, "Here, I'll leave these packed leftovers for you to eat at night."
"No need, you and Aunt Shen didn't eat much just now. They just drank a bowl of soup. Aren't you hungry?" Zhang Jin said.
Aunt Shen smiled and said: "No need, we old sisters are going to eat at the buffet tonight, your mother and I are saving our stomachs."
Zhang Jin: "..."
Zhang Jin's mother suddenly asked: "Son, what do you think of Aunt Shen's daughter?"
"Very good." Zhang Jin could only reply, otherwise what else could he do? Aunt Shen was in the car!
"Then please help as much as you can. It's not easy for a girl to work alone in this magical city."
"I got it, Mom."
In the back seat, Zhang Jin's mother and Aunt Shen looked at each other and smiled, and it was done.
Half an hour later, Zhang Jin parked his car downstairs in the community unit and led the two elders to his home.
As soon as they entered the door, the two old sisters looked left and right, with expressions of wonder on their faces.
Aunt Shen praised: "The decoration style is very good, simple and warm, and it is easy to clean. The balcony in the living room is also quite large. It can put a washing machine, dry clothes and sheets. There is no problem in this kitchen, let alone two people, three or four It’s okay for individuals to do things at the same time.”
Zhang Jin's mother asked: "Son, this house is big enough. How many rooms are there? How much does it cost per square meter?"
"One hundred and forty square meters, four bedrooms and two living rooms, duplex structure, 13 to 4 million." Zhang Jin answered.
"The living room, kitchen, and balcony are all good. How about the bedroom and study? Come on, let's go up and have a look." Zhang Jin's mother asked Aunt Shen to go upstairs together.
Zhang Jin followed behind and thought to himself, why do you feel that you two are here to see the wedding room?
You haven't even written a word about the eight characters, or even picked up the pen, and you've already thought so far?
What is the difference between this and the sand sculpture who has already thought about the name of their child after seeing the goddess!
After looking around, the two elderly people seemed quite satisfied with the house.
"The room has a good layout and a good orientation. It has good air circulation and plenty of sunshine. I like it very much. What do you think?"
"I think it's not bad. Zhang Jin is such an outstanding young man to be able to buy such a house in a big city!"
"Hey, don't praise him. If I hadn't been strict in controlling him since childhood, he would have been just like his father."
"Your Lao Zhang is pretty good too. As long as he doesn't play the suona, he's fine."
"It's much worse than your old Shen. At least your old Shen doesn't play with musical instruments and the house is quiet enough."
"Don't mention it. My old Shen spends all day reading a bunch of ancient books and studying his history and archeology, which are older than us combined. He also goes out for inspections every three days. He spends most of the year either in a pit or in the sand. I can’t see anyone next to me. I’m just bored at home, so why don’t I go out and dance in the square!”
While chatting, the two old sisters began to complain about their husbands, which made Zhang Jin next to them want to yawn, but they could not be too casual in front of their elders, so they could only brace themselves up and deal with it.
Talking from the living room downstairs to the bedroom upstairs, and from the bathroom upstairs to the kitchen downstairs, going around in circles for nearly an hour, the two Sunset sisters were finally satisfied.
"Okay, let's go back to the hotel first."
Hearing his mother's words, Zhang Jin almost jumped up with joy and asked, holding back his joy: "How about I send you off?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Zhang Jin's mother gave her son a look of concern.
An hour later, Zhang Jin sent the Sunset sisters to the hotel where their dance group had reserved a room.
Before leaving, Zhang Jin's mother also told her son: "In the next two days of the weekend, buy two movie tickets for me and your Aunt Shen. It's the romance movie that was released recently. Remember to buy the tickets with two seats."
Zhang Jin looked at his mother for a while and then said: "Don't you hate watching romance movies the most? I used to see romance movies on CCTV. You often said that these kind of stories are full of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and the male and female protagonists like each other. "If you don't like it, you don't like it. If you don't talk to people all day long, you know that making misunderstandings will delay things. They are all instilling some wrong views on love. Why, have you changed your views now?"
"I'll just buy it if I ask you to. Why is there so much nonsense!?" Zhang Jin's mother glared angrily.
Aunt Shen quickly stepped forward and said: "Actually, it's me who wants to see it, not your mother. Zhang Jin, you see, your mother and I don't know how to buy tickets for movie theaters in big cities, so just help us, okay?"
"No problem, Auntie. But I would like to remind you that it is not suitable to watch romantic movies on the first date. It is best to choose comedy movies or popcorn movies, so that both men and women will not be so easily embarrassed." Zhang Jin said with a smile.
"Really? I'll listen to you, let's change to a comedy..." Before Aunt Shen could finish her words, she was suddenly pulled away by Zhang Jin's mother beside her, "Hey, what are you doing to pull me away? I haven't finished speaking yet." It’s over.”
"Anything else you say will be exposed."
"What? Exposed! When was it exposed? I didn't tell you our plans?"
"..."
Seeing the pair of Sunset sisters walking towards the hotel door cooing, Zhang Jin smiled slightly proudly, then started the Cayenne and left.
Mom's little trick is so obvious that a normal person can understand what's going on after just a moment's thought. But even though I have half exposed the other party's little trick, I still can't avoid it.
Ever since I was a child, nothing my mother decided would be done half-way unless there were force majeure factors.
Okay, at least I already knew about this, and at least I won't be too resistant when it comes. I just don't know if Shen Siyi will refuse when the time comes. If she refuses, it will be too embarrassing. After all, my mother and the others are trying to hit me. Invite the other party in the name of the person.
Two days later, Zhang Jin received a message from his mother, asking him to go to Wanda Cinema City to watch a movie and not to waste his ticket money.
