When Edgar Austin first arrived at Thunder Horse Studio, he received a text message from Asher Gellar. The location was Baolaideng Hotel and the time was seven o'clock in the evening.
"Uncle Ning is serious and doesn't even ask me for my opinion. Forget it, just go. We might cooperate in the future. It's better not to offend someone like him. I'll take Kaiden An and Emily there and let them see them. The world."Edgar Austin thought in his heart.
Kaiden Barlow was welding, and Emily was helping him. Kaiden Barlow was sweating profusely, and so was Emily. The sweat wet her overalls, and the fabric was wetted by sweat and stuck tightly to her, making her look plumper and fuller, making people full of fantasy.
"Have a rest."Edgar Austin clapped his hands.
Only then did Kaiden Barlow and Emily realize that Edgar Austin was back. Kaiden Barlow put down the welding tongs in his hand, and Emily got up and walked to the water dispenser.
"No need to pour water."Edgar Austin stopped her, "You are so tired that you are covered in sweat. Why are you pouring me water? Just rest."
"Edgar, I'm not tired. Let me get you a glass of water."Emily wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and a stain suddenly appeared on her fair forehead.
Edgar Austin was not thirsty, but when Emily handed a glass of water to his hand, he still drank the glass of water in one breath.
Kaiden Barlow also washed his hands and came over, "Edgar, is Dongfang Heavy Industries finished?"
"It's done."Edgar Austin said, "Asher Gellar, chairman of Dongfang Heavy Industries, invited me to dinner to celebrate my success. It's not interesting for me to go alone. I want to take you two with me." "
Kaiden Barlow then shook his head, "Edgar, I'd better not go to such an important occasion. Just take Emily with you, and just say that Emily is your secretary."
Edgar Austin said: "You are usually very courageous, why are you so timid today? Isn't it Asher Gellar? Can he still eat you?"
Kaiden Barlow said: "Asher Gellar is a big shot, and I am a little shot. I feel uncomfortable eating at the same table with him, so I won't go."
"Edgar, I, I'm not going either..."Emily looked even more nervous and timid. She stuttered and said, "I am a woman from the mountains. I have never seen the world. Edgar, please take me." If you go, I will embarrass you, I won’t go, I won’t go.”
Edgar Austin smiled bitterly and said: "You two really just want to have a meal, aren't you? Are you afraid of being like this?"
Kaiden Barlow said: "It's not that I'm afraid, I just don't want to go. Emily, you can be a secretary for a while to fill the scene. You and Edgar can go."
Emily shook her beautiful head like a rattle, "I won't go, and I'm not a secretary."
Seeing that persuasion was of no use, Edgar Austin put five bundles of cash on the table, "If you don't go, forget it. This is 50,000 yuan. I will give it to you as a bonus. You can use it to buy whatever you want."
"Edgar, what are you doing?"Kaiden Barlow looked at Edgar Austin in surprise and did not reach out for the money.
Emily also said nervously: "Edgar, I am already very happy if you can take me in. I have only been here for less than a month. Why did you give me so many bonuses all at once? I can't want it."
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "This time I earned one million at Dongfang Heavy Industries. I originally wanted to give you some more bonuses, but I thought that we would need money to upgrade our studio, so I only gave you 50,000. Don't be dissatisfied. Master, take it."
"You're short of weight! Forget it, stop talking. I don't like to hear this. I have the money, why not?"Kaiden Barlow took two bundles of money, and then said: "Brynlee is leaving to study in Kyoto. Now, I’ll go to your house for dinner and see what else she’s missing, and I’ll buy it for him.”
Edgar Austin frowned, "You spend money on her again, you will spoil her."
"It's not as serious as you said? You are her brother and I am her brother. Is there anything wrong if I buy her some gifts?"Kaiden Barlow has his own reasons.
Edgar Austin said: "It's up to you. Anyway, be careful and don't let her get into the habit of spending money lavishly. That's not good."
Kaiden Barlow smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you are more verbose than my mother."
At this time Emily said: "Barlow, please take me there too. I will also go to Edgar's house for dinner. Well, I also want to buy some gifts for Brynlee."
"Okay, but you should wipe the table before you go."Kaiden Barlow said with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah."Emily twisted the rag and went to wipe the table.
"Take the money, put it away, don't drop it."Edgar Austin put the money into Emily's hand and warned her.
Emily's eyes were red and she was so moved that she could not speak. She came out from her hometown to work, and her biggest dream is to save 10,000 yuan to mail to her hometown. She estimates that she will need to work hard for a year to achieve this goal, but now she has only been in Lei Ma Studio for less than a month. , Edgar Austin gave her a bonus of 20,000 yuan. The meaning of 20,000 yuan was very important to her. How could she not be moved?
"Go, go, do it well."Edgar Austin didn't want to see her cry.
"Yeah."Emily stuffed two bundles of money into her trouser pockets and wiped the table hard. Her hand came over with a splash, and her body swayed with it, almost hitting the table.
Kaiden Barlow's eyes were fixed on Emily's figure without blinking.
Edgar Austin smiled bitterly and shook his head. He walked to Kaiden Barlow and lowered his voice and said, "I can tell you, this girl is honest, so don't harm her."
Kaiden Barlow also lowered his voice, "Brother, who do you think I am? My moral character is not suitable for her. I won't harm her. I just have a look. It's not illegal and I won't get pregnant." no?"
Edgar Austin slapped Kaiden Barlow on the back of the head, "You guy!"
Kaiden Barlow didn't get angry even after being hit. He just stared at Emily who was cleaning the table and laughed.
In the evening, Edgar Austin called a car and went straight to the Baolaideng Hotel.
Before arriving at the Baolaideng Hotel, Lola Gellar called.
"Miss Lola, what's the matter?"Edgar Austin greeted warmly.
"Ouch, something bad happened."The Lola Gellar voice on the phone sounded a little anxious.
"What happened? Don't be impatient. Speak slowly."
"My second uncle told my dad about you, and my dad is coming to the banquet tonight."
"Huh?"Edgar Austin was also shocked.
Lola Gellar said: "My second uncle praised you so much that you were almost a perfect son-in-law. My dad was very happy with it. He laughed and scolded me for hiding such a big thing. He, you said...what do you think I should do?"
Edgar Austin's head was pounding when he heard this, "I, I don't know what to do. I've never encountered anything like this."
"I have no experience at all. Hey, it's all my fault. I told my second uncle that you were my boyfriend without consulting you in advance."Lola Gellar was annoyed to death.
Edgar Austin comforted: "Don't worry, you just want your second uncle to see me and help me get the order. How can I blame you?"
"Forget it, it's over, don't mention it again. My dad has a bad heart and can't be angry. We can just work together to lie to him again."
Edgar Austin said bravely, "Okay, let's act again. However, I'm not very good at acting, so don't blame me if the performance fails."
"No, no, just adapt to circumstances. Okay, that's it, I'll wait for you at the hotel."Lola Gellar hung up the phone.
Edgar Austin, on the other hand, was still holding his cell phone, looking distracted. I thought it was just a celebration dinner, but I didn't expect that it was actually a family dinner of a blind date nature. He is not Lola Gellar 's boyfriend but wants to meet Jing Lola Gellar 's father as Lola Gellar 's boyfriend. Thinking about this kind of thing gives him a headache.
"Brother, are you going to meet the girl's parents?" Brother De looked back at Edgar Austin and said with a smile.
Edgar Austin finally came back to his senses, "How do you know?"
"I heard it." Brother De said, "You can't just go like this. You have to buy some decent gifts."
Edgar Austin's head was already a headache, but when his brother said this, his heart became even more confused, "It's not that complicated, I actually... forget it, stop at the supermarket ahead, I'll buy some gifts."
Brother smiled and said: "That's right."
The taxi stopped in front of Wal-Mart, and Edgar Austin rushed to the supermarket in a hurry. He went in empty-handed and came out with a big bag in his left hand and a big bag in his right hand. Lola Gellar didn't say whether her mother would come, but he thought that in this case, Lola Gellar's mother wouldn't come to see his "future son-in-law", so he prepared two gifts, one for Jing Jing's father and one for Lola Gellar's father. It's for Lola Gellar's mother.
"Brother, that's awesome. If you go like this, you will be dignified. You will definitely make your future father-in-law and mother-in-law happy." Brother De joked.
Edgar Austin was in no mood to joke and didn't say anything. He just urged his brother to drive.
Arriving at the Baolaideng Hotel, Edgar Austin paid the fare and entered the lobby. He caught sight of the Lola Gellar waiting in the hall.
Today's Lola Gellar obviously dressed up specially. She wore an ethnic-style blue and white porcelain skirt, a small and cute navy blue gown, and a pair of simple and elegant half-heel leather shoes on her feet. Such a combination , the bookishness about her became even stronger. There were many women in gorgeous costumes in the hall, but she was the most special and conspicuous one. When he saw her for the first time, he couldn't help but praise her in his heart, she was beautiful.
Edgar Austin walked up with two large bags of gifts and said hello with a smile, "Miss Lola, I'm sorry, I'm a little late. I didn't keep you waiting long, right?"
Lola Gellar came up to her with a nervous expression, "Don't call me Miss Lola. My second uncle told my parents that you are twenty-five years old. Please call me by my nickname tonight, Lola."
Edgar Austin nodded, "Yes, I remember."
"You... just call me and try."Lola Gellar said awkwardly.
Edgar Austin opened his mouth and took a long time to call out, "Lola."
"It's okay, be more natural when you scream again, don't be so stiff."Lola Gellar is like a strategist on the battlefield, "Also, my dad's name is Leonel Gellar, and my mom's name is Gracelynn. My dad is easy to deal with, so respect him more. After two glasses of wine, he can talk about anything when he is happy. My mother is more difficult to deal with. She will ask you a lot of questions. You have to be smart, otherwise she will find out. "
Edgar Austin said dizzy: "What questions will your mother ask me?"
Lola Gellar chatted: "House, car, work situation and income, and family members' situation, etc. You'd better think about how to answer now, don't answer wrongly."
Edgar Austin smiled bitterly and said, "It seems like this isn't the first time you've experienced something like this, right?"
Lola Gellar showed a helpless look, "My mother forced me to go on a blind date more than a dozen times. Am I not sure what questions she asked?"
Edgar Austin suddenly felt that Lola Gellar was actually quite pitiful.
"Let's go, I'll hold your hand."Lola Gellar took a gift bag and then took one of Edgar Austin's arms.
The moment they held hands, both of them were inexplicably nervous and embarrassed, but they both acted calmly and walked towards the restaurant together.
Although they are pretending to be a couple, when the two hold hands, everyone who sees them will secretly praise them - what a perfect couple!
