Eight Fresh Soup

Chapter 36 "What's New in Beauty"

Just after 9 o'clock the next morning, I received a call from my friend Xiaofen.

"Hey! You're not up yet?" she complained when she heard my voice and knew I was still in bed. "It's nice to be a vagrant."

"Well, what's up?" I asked, yawning.

"I found out what you asked me to inquire about." She lowered her voice and said mysteriously.

"Oh?" I regained my spirits immediately, "Say it quickly, say it quickly."

"Yesterday I asked her to borrow the book "Sow", and she said she lent it to a friend."

Ah, that means she has the book.

"Did you continue the conversation with her?" I asked.

"Of course I asked." Xiaofen "giggled" and laughed, "I found it really interesting, Moran, I talked to her, and she later revealed to me that her book was lent to her. Her boyfriend read it, and she said that boyfriend gave her many copies of "New Knowledge of Beauty". Now I can confirm that the magazine is indeed "New Knowledge of Beauty."

"It's strange, why would a grown man read this kind of book? This is obviously an inspirational book for women." I said.

"I heard that a publishing house asked him to write a similar book, and he wanted to see how to write it."

"Then did she mention her boyfriend's occupation?"

"She didn't say that. But it seems that she admires that man and keeps saying that he is very talented." Xiaofen said.

"Has she ever talked about that man's strengths, such as what he's good at?"

"She said that man can dance very well." Xiaofen said.

My heart lit up, and I quickly asked, "What's the name of the Latin dance school you mentioned last time?"

"You suspect..."

"I just wanted to check it out there. I'll let you know when I have an answer," I said.

"Alright then, Melisa Dance School." Xiaofen said and gave me the school's address and phone number.

"So, did Zhang Ximin say how far they have progressed?" I asked again.

"Haha, I asked about that too, and I advised her to get married early."

"What did she say?"

"She said that they are still in a relationship, and they don't know what the future holds. It seems that they are not very sure." Xiaofen tapped the phone with a ballpoint pen, which made my ears "buzz".

"Xiaofen, speak up when you have something to say, don't make noise!" I said.

"I just want to remind you, don't forget our barbecue appointment."

"Don't worry, I won't forget, just bring your stomach with you when the time comes." I said with a smile.

After hanging up Xiaofen's phone, I immediately decided to do two things. One was to buy a copy of "New Knowledge of Beauty" at the newsstand, and the other was to go to the Latin dance school that Xiaofen mentioned.Dancing is a common way for men and women to meet. Could it be that she met that man online?Why is it impossible?

There were still two copies of "New Knowledge on Beauty" left in the newsstand, one of which was expired, and I bought them all back, which made the aunt at the newsstand beam with joy.

As soon as I got the magazine, I couldn't wait to turn it over. I quickly found what I was looking for on page 19 of the latest issue, and then turned to the copyright page. As expected...

Next, I want to further confirm my guess. I took the two "Beauty New Knowledge" to Melisa Dance School.I was greeted by a lady at the front desk.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" she asked politely.

"A friend introduced me." I said.

"Do you want to learn to dance? Our teachers here are very professional." She enthusiastically prepared to give me a more detailed introduction, and I took out a copy of "New Knowledge of Beauty".

"This man is my friend. He said he often comes here to dance. I want to ask him when he will come. I want to meet him." I know that many dance school students have their own study time.

The receptionist was examining the photograph in the magazine.

"Why didn't you call him?" She seemed alert.

"Well, if I can get in touch with him, do I still need to come here?" I said with feigned annoyance. "I dropped my phone and it had all my friends' phone numbers in it."

The lady at the front desk looked at me as if he was a little hesitant.

"I just want to know when he came recently. You can copy my name to him, but I want to give him a surprise." I smiled and handed her my ID card to show my sincerity.

The front desk lady looked at my ID and gave it back to me.

"It's not that I want to argue with you, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, I'm not his girlfriend, let alone his wife. I won't cause trouble for him, let alone you." I said hastily.

My reasons were not sufficient, but my expression was very sincere. The front desk lady hesitated for a moment, and finally dispelled her worries.

"I know this guy, and he's usually at 7 o'clock every Friday night." She said.
