Chapter 548 Proposal in Progress

548

"Okay sir, I'll pack it for you!"

The waiter who looked down on Chen before immediately changed his face and packed up Chen's diamond ring with a flattering look on his face.

"Don't be impulsive." Xu Taiping said solemnly, "If you are engaged, you don't need such a good diamond ring. If you are getting married, use a good diamond ring or a larger gold ring."

"I don't like how you look down on others!" Chen said through gritted teeth.

"That's up to you." Xu Taiping smiled and said nothing more.

"Director Xu, lend me 10,000 yuan. I will pay you back after your salary and year-end bonus are paid in a few days!" Chen said in a low voice.

"Looking to borrow money from me? Don't you have enough money? You shouldn't. Aren't you very economical with your money?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I just bought a house last month, paid the down payment, and put in all the money!" Chen said awkwardly.

"Don't buy such a good ring if you don't have money." Xu Taiping said.

"But I can't swallow this breath!" Chen said.

"That can't be helped, I won't lend it to you." Xu Taiping shook his head.

Chen looked at Xu Taiping in surprise. In his opinion, Xu Taiping was not the kind of person who was short of money or stingy. Ten thousand yuan was like one dollar to Xu Taiping. How could he not borrow it?

"My dad once told me that when lending money to others, you have to follow one principle, which is to lend money to people in need rather than money." Xu Taiping said seriously, "If something happens to you and you can't survive without the money, then I don't care how much it is. I'm lending you money because of our friendship, but if you're just borrowing money to spend or vent your anger, then I won't lend it to you, because you will encounter more of this kind of thing in the future, and you can't possibly do it every time. If you ask someone to borrow money every time, it’s impossible for someone to lend you money every time.”

"Isn't it because of poverty?" Chen fell silent when he heard this.

"It is said that people live for one breath, but in my opinion, the most important thing for a person to live is to survive first. If you have the ability, you can fight for this kind of thing. It doesn't matter. But if you don't have the ability, you have to pretend to be brave. I don’t think it’s necessary for Fatty to argue for this. Look at the students in our school who were almost killed by small loans. Which one is not for the so-called vanity? Is it necessary?” Xu Taiping asked.

"I understand, Director Xu." Chen nodded and said, "I have grown inflated. I was promoted recently and my salary was increased. My face has become thinner. I used to not mind what others said about me. Now I know how to do it, Director Xu, thank you for telling me this!"

"In life, the most important thing is to live comfortably!" Xu Taiping said.

"Yeah!" Chen smiled, and then said to the waiter who was packing, "I don't want the diamond ring. I'll look around again."

"Ah?" The waiter looked at Chen in surprise, and then Chen said nothing more and turned around to leave.

"Even if I want to buy a small diamond ring, I won't buy it here. You can do things like this for free, right, Director Xu." Chen said with a smile.

"That's right, a dog looks down on others, and if you spend money on him, every penny you spend is a slap in the face!" Xu Taiping smiled and nodded. He was actually not willing to preach to others, because This would make him appear superior, but after all, Xu Taiping had lived in the cruelest place in the world. He had experienced too many things, so he could see the world as thoroughly as an ordinary person, and faced those who he truly regarded as his friends. People, Xu Taiping sometimes wants to say something. This is not preaching, it is just sharing his life experience. If some people really think it is preaching, then Xu Taiping thinks it doesn’t matter. Anyway, if you think so, then it will be a big deal for him in the future. Let me tell you, that scornful waiter, you said you can’t afford it, so I can’t afford it, so why am I still begging you for nothing?

"Tch, it turned out that I was just pretending to be big, so I really had money to buy it. Yes, it was a waste of my time!" The waiter's sarcastic words came from behind, but at this time, Chen had already turned a deaf ear.

How can a person live his whole life without being able to bear any grievance? No matter how much grievance you suffer, how much glory you will gain in the future.

In the end, Chen bought a diamond ring worth more than 8,000 yuan at a counter. Afterwards, Chen and Xu Taiping rushed to the Tianlong Building, the tallest building in Xincheng District.

Chen has made an appointment with Meimei to have dinner at the rooftop revolving restaurant of Tianlong Building tonight, and during the meal, he will propose to Meimei.

Xu Taiping has an important task tonight, which is to be a cameraman and record the entire process of tonight's proposal.

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Tianlong Building, and there were not many people here.

"I have told the live band here in advance that when the time comes, I will sing one of Mei Mei's favorite songs on stage, and then along with the rhythm of the music, I slowly walked up to her and knelt down on one knee to propose to her. During this period, I hope that Director Xu can record all the scenes. You are my best friend in Jiangyuan City, so I also hope that you can witness my happy moments!" Chen said to Xu Taiping with a smile. .

Xu Taiping nodded, smiled and said, "No problem!"

To be honest, this was the first time that Xu Taiping helped others do such a romantic thing. He had never done it himself.

At this moment, Xu Taiping's cell phone rang. It was Xia Jinxuan.

Xia Jinxuan was shopping with Emma Song Jialing at this time. She called Xu Taiping to ask where Xu Taiping wanted to eat later, but she heard Xu Taiping say that he would help someone record the proposal process later.

When several unmarried girls heard about this, their excitement immediately soared to the top, and they took a taxi directly to the Tianlong Building.

"It's really a proposal!" Xia Jinxuan looked at Chen and said excitedly, "Are you ready for the ring?"

"Ready." Chen nodded.

"That's great, I will be a witness tonight!" Xia Jinxuan said.

"I want it too, I want it too!" Emma also said excitedly.

"Okay, let's have dinner here tonight. Let's not shoot alone. Let's have multiple cameras here at the same time. Jinxuan, you are responsible for placing a camera on your table. Remember, you must not let anyone notice it. Understand Huh?" Xu Taiping said.

"Understood!" Xia Jinxuan said seriously, "I promise to complete the task!"

"Emma, ​​after the proposal is successful, you will be responsible for placing the ribbons!" Xu Taiping said to Emma.

"Okay, okay, I like the ribbons the best!" Emma said happily.

"Jialing!" Xu Taiping looked at Song Jialing.

"I don't like the excitement of Shenhe. I can just eat and watch the show!" Song Jialing shook her head.

"Okay, then you are responsible for applauding!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"I'm really troubling everyone!" Chen said excitedly. You must know that no matter who these people are in front of him, they all have prominent backgrounds. They are willing to come to witness his proposal ceremony. For Chen, it is really a great honor.

"Starting now, we still have about two hours to practice. The position of the video recorder must be accurate, and the timing of putting the ribbon must be well grasped. There must not be any mistakes here! We must ensure that the entire proposal ceremony goes smoothly. Keep going!" Xu Taiping emphasized again.

"Yes!" Xia Jinxuan and Emma saluted together.

Song Jiali smiled jokingly and said, "Are you prepping for your future proposal?"

"Yes, Taiping, how do you plan to propose in the future?" Xia Jinxuan asked.

"If I tell you now, what surprise will there be?" Xu Taiping shook his head and said, "I can't tell."

"Tch, it's mysterious, let's not talk about it, Emma, ​​Jia Ling, let's go to the rehearsal!" Xia Jinxuan said.

"Applause also requires rehearsal?" Song Jiali asked in surprise.

"Of course, only careful preparation can give the best presentation! This is my first time witnessing someone else's proposal. I must be serious and serious!" Xia Jinxuan said.

After Xu Taiping determined the basic steps, several women began to practice.

It can be seen that they are very serious about this matter. After all, women like romantic things, and proposing is a very romantic thing.

The time was approaching little by little, and around six o'clock in the evening, customers came to the revolving restaurant one after another.

After all, Chen has limited financial resources, so he did not book the entire revolving restaurant. Of course, Xu Taiping would not be stupid enough to pay for it. Although he is rich, everyone has their own self-esteem. You can help others propose marriage proposals. Money, what is it? Do you look down on people?

"She's coming, I'll go downstairs and wait for her!" Chen looked at his phone and said excitedly.

"Well, act calmly!" Xu Taiping said.

"Okay!" Chen took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then walked downstairs with vigorous steps.

Xu Taiping picked up his cell phone, put Xia Jinxuan, Emma and Song Jialing into a WeChat group, and then sent a voice message, "The horses will enter actual combat. Everyone is on alert. Remember, this is not a drill, this is not a drill!"

Song Jiali, Xia Jinxuan and the others were sitting at a table about three meters away from Chen. After hearing Xu Taiping's WeChat voice, Xia Jinxuan raised her hand and made an OK gesture to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping turned around and walked to the kitchen, then changed into waiter's clothes.

When Xu Taiping returned to the restaurant, Chen had already taken Meimei to his seat.

Xu Taiping straightened his tie. His tie was equipped with a miniature camera that could clearly record the entire proposal process.

Xu Taiping walked up to Chen and Meimei with a bottle of red wine in his hand, poured some for each of them, and said, "Welcome to our Tianlong Revolving Restaurant. I hope you two can have a wonderful night."

"Thank you." Chen nodded and said.

"Please take a look at the menu." Xu Taiping handed the menu to the two of them.

"You order it." Meimei put the menu directly on the table without even looking at the menu.

Chen didn't take it seriously. He felt that Meimei must be acting like this because she was a little embarrassed about what happened today.

According to what he had rehearsed before, Chen ordered some dishes with romantic names. Then Xu Taiping took the menu and turned around to leave.
