Chapter 273

Lin Jie crossed his hands, propped his chin, and fell into deep thought.

The last time he asked Ji Zhixu to choose a gift at random, the other party didn't want anything else, but just chose the rose he planted himself.

In terms of value, the rose that can be seen everywhere is not worth paying attention to except that it looks a little better. The difference is that it usually sells for 9 yuan, and it sells for 99 yuan on Valentine's Day.

But no matter how expensive it was, it was just a rose in Ji Zhixu's eyes.

Such an even tacky rose, where is it worth asking Ji Zhixu to ask for it? Of course, the only person who gave it was Lin Jie.

Speaking of roses...

Lin Jie glanced at Miss Ji's plump chest - the bright and beautiful red roses were particularly eye-catching on the neckline of the black dress, which was no different from the appearance Lin Jie remembered a few months ago.

I don't know what high-tech method Ji Zhixu used, or that the seeds that Tao Ruisi sent were really special. This rose still kept its original fresh appearance after it was picked.

And Ji Zhixu really put this rose close to his body all the time.

The meaning of it has to make people think a little more.

A girl, a girl who once entered the bookstore on a rainy night when she was betrayed and hurt, asked him for help several times and acted very dependent. She asked him to wear a rose next to her body for several months, and now invited him to a birthday party ...

Lin Jie felt that there was only one possibility.

reasonable.

But the only problem is, he doesn't have that plan right now.

"Then the more important question is coming. How should I refuse... If I say it outright, it would be too hurtful. I have to find a suitable time to say it tactfully, but I can't be too suggestive. If it is not decisive enough, it will hurt me again." lead to more trouble."

Lin Jie thought to himself.

"And it's such an important customer. If you don't handle it well, you will directly lose a big customer, and you don't need to sign the contract."

It's a pity that although Lin Jie claims to be a spiritual mentor and a master of chicken soup, he doesn't have any unforgettable emotional experiences, and it can even be said to be blank.

So that it felt a little tricky for a while.

Ji Zhixu was a little terrified by Lin Jie's gaze, and she was extremely nervous, and even at a certain moment, she could feel the imminent rejection in it.

Ji Zhixu lowered his head in disappointment.

Sure enough... It is very difficult to let Boss Lin go out.

During the known three years, he hardly ever went out, and only occasionally went to the nearby shopping malls when he pretended to be an ordinary person and went out to buy daily necessities.

It seems that Luoer Resources still has no way to obtain stronger support and platform.

Yes, this is a luxury.

However, since Boss Lin has agreed to give them agency rights, it doesn't matter even if he refuses to attend the banquet.

"Actually, I was a little hesitant at first. Well, in other words, I don't really want to go. You know, I prefer to stay in the store. But besides the relationship between the owner and the customer, we are still friends, aren't we?"

Lin Jie looked at the woman in front of him, sighed, and showed a warm smile: "A friend's kind invitation full of expectations should not be refused."

"meaning is……"

Ji Zhixu was stunned for a moment with a blank expression, and then ecstasy emerged in his heart.

"You agreed?!"

Her tone was a little erratic, and she was still dizzy, feeling that the ending of this twists and turns was extremely unreal.

Am I so happy because I promised to attend... Lin Jie nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I promised to attend your birthday party."

Boss Lin agreed!

And...he said it himself, this is an invitation from a "friend"!

The meaning of this is very obvious. One is that Luoer Resources will be a good partner of the bookstore, and the other is that Ji Zhixu will be the trustworthy right-hand man of Boss Lin. Her potential is worth cultivating.

Ji Zhixu instantly understood Boss Lin's high expectations for him, immersed in joy and couldn't extricate himself, and quickly said: "Thank you for agreeing to my willful request. After my father heard about your affairs, he also respected you very much." , I believe he is also looking forward to your arrival."

Although the old man was right next to him and lost his mind for a short time after being warned, but in order not to be embarrassed when they met later—mainly Ji Bonong’s unilateral embarrassment—he still had to try his best to improve Boss Lin’s impression of him.

Lin Jie's face became more subtle when he heard this.

"Really? I've known your father for a long time, and I'm looking forward to seeing the person in charge of Luoer Resources himself, haha."

Ji Zhixu always felt that he heard Boss Lin's ridicule from this sentence...

She looked at her father who was still frozen in place, smiled dryly, and said cautiously: "Where, where, he is actually just a mortal who often worries about the future of Luoer Resources."

"I often tell him about you. He admires your extensive knowledge and is also full of curiosity about those books..."

Lin Jie already wanted to cover his face.

Even the parents have told it, but it's okay... Could it be that this is the time to meet the parents?

No, no, no, if this continues, you will have to fast forward to nowhere.

If you want to politely refuse, you still have to use this method...

"Mr. Ji also likes to read books? Then I will prepare a book I carefully selected as a gift, but - before that, I have a book to give you now, I hope you can take a good look at it."

With a thought in mind, Lin Jie took down a copy of "The Great Gatsby" from the shelf next to him, and thought that after reading this book, Ji Zhixu, who is the eldest daughter of Luo Eryuan, would definitely understand it with her intelligence. I mean it.

Alas, such a refusal should be the gentlest way he could think of.

"People always have to grow up. This is an amazing book. I think you can gain more and understand more from it. Just treat it as my twentieth birthday gift to you in advance...Of course, wait until On the day of the banquet, I will also prepare a formal gift."

Lin Jie put the book in Ji Zhixu's hand, and said earnestly.

"The human instinct is always to chase what leaves us, and at the same time to run away from what pursues us."

This is what Gatsby said.

"You need to learn to overcome your instincts, otherwise you will not be able to grow. When you should let go, you have to learn to let go, when you should accept, you have to learn to accept... Do you understand?"

A deep voice sounded in Ji Zhixu's ears. In a daze, the book in his hand seemed to have turned into a very strange biological fragment, which was covered with some kind of uneven semi-elastic iridescent scales, with thin white scales. Stems and half flower-like organs, in addition, there are constantly wriggling green tentacles and white gelatin.

You can't describe what it is, but you can feel that it is some kind of living object.

In the blink of an eye, this terrifying hallucination disappeared again, and the book was still a book.

The name of this book is called "The Great Race Is".
