The place was chosen by Xiao Zheng. It was a western restaurant near the villa area. Xiao Zheng had accompanied Old Lin to eat a few times. The food was good, and the environment was not bad. Of course, it was mainly because he knew that he could not dissuade Xiao Taohong's desire to spend money. It was not appropriate to go to a place that was too expensive.
Of course, going to a place that was too cheap would show that he had no taste as a boss.
The per capita consumption of this restaurant was 1,000. It was in line with the fact that Xiao Taohong wanted to treat everyone, but her income was limited.
Look, being a leader is also an art. You can't be too cruel to your subordinates, but you can't let your subordinates criticize you for having no taste. Even choosing a place to eat had to be particular. It was tiring.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng was a little envious of Lu Dashan's easygoing personality.
It was not easy to be at his level and still maintain a lively and cheerful personality in private. Look at Lin Laoyao or Shang Jingtian. Even Bai Wuxia more or less put on some airs, right?
No wonder Xiao Zheng could be close to Lu Dashan. Birds of a feather flock together.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Xiao Zheng ordered the dishes with familiarity. After ordering two drinks, he said with a smile, "Did anything happen in the company these days?"
"Everything is normal." Xiao Taohong was still a little reserved. After all, she was eating alone with the big boss. It was different from accompanying the boss to meet clients. One was for work, and the other was for her private life.
During the process of getting along, it was inevitable that there would be a different atmosphere.
"Relax." Xiao Zheng took a sip of his drink and joked. "Don't tell me I'll eat people?"
Xiao Taohong's pretty face turned red. She shook her head and said, "Mr. Xiao, you're very good. I'm useless … "
"In the company, you treat me as a leader. In private, you can treat me as a big brother. "Xiao Zheng said half-jokingly and half-seriously. "I'm four years older than you. Is it okay to be your big brother?"
"No problem, no problem." Xiao Taohong only felt happy.
Mr. Xiao is my brother?
That was like a meat pie falling from the sky!
Who didn't know Mr Xiao's position in Xin Ao? That was an existence whose words carried enormous weight, and who had countless followers. It was said that even the head of the entertainment department, Mr. Lan, was supposed to be a competitor with Mr. Xiao. She had never argued with Mr Xiao.
It was not hard to imagine that Mr Xiao was a popular figure in Xin Ao.
"Sister and brother are having dinner. Why are you so reserved? "Xiao Zheng shook his head and asked casually while waiting for the dishes. "Who's in your family?"
"Mom and Dad are about to retire," Xiao Taohong said softly. "There's also a big brother."
"Yo. Am I stealing your brother's limelight? "Xiao Zheng joked. "He won't make trouble for me, right?"
"No, no." Xiao Taohong said helplessly. "You are much better than my big brother."
Xiao Zheng was a smart person. He saw through Xiao Taohong's thoughts at a glance. "Your brother doesn't work hard?"
"It's fine if he doesn't work hard. I can take care of Mom and Dad anyway, "Xiao Taohong said bitterly. "This brother of mine is hot no matter what he does. He even argued with the company's leaders several times. He has been sued by the company two or three times in the past four to five years. "
"So rebellious?" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
It was not easy to be sued by the company. Take Xin Ao as an example. Except for the fight with Geng Sang at Mingzhu. Except for the relevant departments involved, Xiao Zheng had never heard of any employee being sued by Xin Ao. First, it was bad for the company's reputation. Second, it was not worth getting involved with the law for such a small matter. Unless it was an employee who did something big.
Obviously. Xiao Taohong's brother made a big mistake. Otherwise, he would not be sued by so many companies.
Xiao Taohong said helplessly, "My big brother has always been troublesome. Mom and Dad are also worried about him. Just some time ago, he wanted to open a bar with his friends. He forced Mom and Dad to take the house to the bank for a loan. He didn't think that if the business failed, where would his family have the money to pay off the debt? Would he ask the bank to take over the house and let Mom and Dad sleep under the bridge? "
"This is a little immature." Xiao Zheng frowned slightly. But he didn't say anything more.
Even an upright official would find it hard to settle a family dispute. Xiao Zheng did not think that he could handle this kind of matter well. Of course, he could give a few million to Xiao Taohong's brother. But this kind of thing would happen again. The other party had tasted the sweetness of reaping without sowing. He would definitely entangle himself. Even if Xiao Zheng was not afraid of being entangled by the other party, Xiao Taohong's brother's character would be completely destroyed by the millions that he threw at him.
Xiao Taohong didn't seem to want to discuss her family affairs with Xiao Zheng. Maybe it was because she felt embarrassed, or maybe she was afraid of making Xiao Zheng unhappy. She changed the topic and said, "Mr. Xiao. You and Boss Lin must have a very happy life, right? "
A talented man and a beautiful woman. The key was that they were so rich, so elegant, and so self-restrained. In Xiao Taohong's eyes, the life of this couple was even more idol than an idol drama.
Xiao Taohong couldn't even look forward to it.
Speaking of which, Xiao Taohong was also very good-looking. She was pure and cute, exuding a pure aura all over. She had a gentle personality and was meticulous enough. Apart from being rather reserved in front of Xiao Zheng, she had also won some reputation when working outside. With her soft and hard power, she shouldn't be too bad when looking for a partner.
Xiao Zheng raised his head and glared at Xiao Taohong. "Asking about the leader's love life is a big taboo. Why, are you trying to poach the leader's woman? "
Xiao Taohong blushed and shook her head. "I'm just curious …"
In fact, not only Xiao Taohong, who in the company wasn't curious about the husband and wife life of Xiao Zheng and Lin Huayin?
Both of them were legendary figures, and they were the first and second most important figures in Xin Ao. Even the overseas department, including Lin Huayin's confidants, would occasionally gossip about the couple's life.
Happiness? Happiness? Or — — extravagance?
When the dishes were served, Xiao Zheng asked casually, "Would you like a glass of red wine?"
Xiao Taohong said, "If you drink, I'll drink with you."
Xiao Zheng smiled and shook his head. "Forget it. In case you can't drive home later. "
Xiao Zheng was a good drinker, and his driving skills were also good. It didn't matter if he just drank a little. But if he was a person who couldn't drink and drive well. That would be harming others and himself.
They ate the steak and drank the drink. The two chatted happily. Under Xiao Zheng's instigation, Xiao Taohong gradually became more talkative. She was no longer as reserved as before.
"Xiao Taohong, you're not young anymore. Have you ever thought about finding a boyfriend? "Xiao Zheng asked with a Smile.
Twenty-four years old was not too young, but not too old either. Find a boyfriend now, date for two or three years, get married at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and have a child before the age of thirty. There would be plenty of time. She wouldn't be like those girls who had high expectations but low ability, picking and choosing, and becoming a leftover fighter.
"Ah?" Xiao Taohong was slightly startled, and then immediately bit her lip. "I haven't talked about it yet."
After a pause, she felt that it was a little abrupt to say so, and shook her head. "I just want to do my job well for now. Let's talk about this later. "
Xiao Zheng nodded and didn't say anything more.
If he said too much, it would make people feel that his motive was not pure, and it would not be good.
Ding, ding, ding.
When they were almost done eating, Xiao Taohong's phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone and glanced at it, but she frowned and directly hung up.
"Why didn't you pick up?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
This meal had really revealed some of Xiao Taohong's personality.
"Advertising call —" Before Xiao Taohong's voice died away, her phone rang again.
Xiao Zheng smiled and guessed who called her. He called the waiter and handed over a credit card. "Bill please."
Without waiting for Xiao Taohong to get up, he waved his hand again and said with a smile, "It's your brother, right? Answer it. "
