Chapter 259 Exploration
Recalling Jiang Chen inadvertently, Wang Manni became more and more depressed.
The ex-boyfriend who was originally disliked turned into a potential stock in a blink of an eye, and the rich and handsome man who could take her across the class was unwilling to marry her.
It's really a trick of good fortune.
Continuously comparing Jiang Chen and Liang Zhengxian in her mind, Wang Manni tossed and turned on the bed all night, and only squinted for a while when it was close to dawn.
Waking up drowsily, using thick foundation and heavy makeup to cover up her haggard face, Wang Manni subconsciously reached out to touch the table, but suddenly remembered that when the Cadillac with a temporary license plate met Liang Zhengxian yesterday, It has been returned to him.
After walking out for a long time, Wang Manni did not go directly to Misia as usual, but took a long way with the idea of relaxing, and detoured to an old street that seldom came.
At this time, the coffee shop is not yet open for business, looking out of the window, a woman dressed as a clerk is talking and laughing with Jiang Chen, moving the chairs outside, it should be preparing for the opening of the shop.
Putting up the parasol beside the round table, Jiang Chen inadvertently raised his head to look at the side of the road, and saw Wang Manni walking this way at a glance, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the arc of the corner of his mouth subconsciously raised many.
"What a coincidence~ Are you going to work?"
Since she ran into Wang Manni last time, she hadn't been to the store again, and it was the first time they met again after many days. Even though she knew she had a boyfriend, even if Zhou Ji had told him how rich Wang Manni's boyfriend was, she could be remembered How can something that has been beautified be broken so easily?
"Yes~" Wang Manni nodded and smiled calmly, her eyes swept over Jiang Chen, and landed on the slightly cramped clerk beside him, her eyes narrowed again, "I didn't notice it when I left in a hurry last time, Didn't I have time to congratulate you?"
"It's not what you think." Jiang Chensheng was afraid that Wang Manni would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, but halfway through the sentence, he felt something was wrong, and quickly looked at Lu Fang beside him, who was wrinkling the apron around his waist, She lowered her head in sadness and disappointment, and smiled palely, "Miss Wang, you really misunderstood."
"Ah? I was just joking with Jiang Chen. I'm so sorry. I apologize to you." Even if Wang Manni can't play Neptune Liang Zhengxian with Wang Manni's methods, it's still handy to catch dogs, especially those with filter memories Jiang Chen and Lu Fang, who bowed her head, were not her opponents at all.
Seeing that Wang Manni looked a little haggard and didn't have breakfast, Jiang Chen specially made her a cup of more than 200 hand-made coffee. Wang Manni smiled lightly and said, "Since I drank your coffee last time, I haven't forgotten it for a long time. Now, I always feel that I’m not used to drinking coffee from other places, if the taste is so bad now, I won’t be able to drink your coffee one day, I’m going to be so hungry.”
"If you like, I can prepare it for you every day." When Jiang Chen said this, he suddenly remembered that Wang Manni already had a boyfriend, and smiled wryly, "If you are worried that your boyfriend will misunderstand, you can also bring some baked goods." Go back with the beans, and I'll give it to you after you finish drinking."
"There is nothing to misunderstand, he is not the kind of narrow-minded person."
Hearing Jiang Chen mention Liang Zhengxian, Wang Manni couldn't help but feel a little lost. She was stunned for a while, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel lucky that Zhou Ji didn't mention to Jiang Chen that she met Zhao Jingyu that day.
Enjoying the coffee Jiang Chen prepared for herself with peace of mind, Wang Manni didn't even look at Lu Fang at the bar. She came here calmly and left proudly, and her depressed and uncomfortable mood eased a lot.
It's just that the relief didn't last long.
Walking from Old Street to Misia is like returning to reality from a dream.
Life will still go on, and the incident of being slapped in the face by guests and scolding the mistress in public will definitely not fade away in just a few days.
Stepping into Misia with heavy steps, Wang Manni seemed to feel the strange eyes of other colleagues. Every time she looked at them, she could see the contempt and ridicule in each other's eyes, but she could only bear it all .
Pretending to smirk as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened.
The rent of 9,500 yuan, the 20,000 yuan from the last loan upgrade, and the 2,000 yuan sent home every month, these mountains are pressing on Wang Manni all the time, making her unable to turn over.
She couldn't figure out why she had worked hard in Shanghai for eight years and left nothing in the end.
She also doesn't want to think about why other migrant workers live in a pigeon coop far away from the suburbs of the city with the same wages as her, instead of spending thousands of yuan on brand-name clothes and hundreds of yuan on Daily diet to 'improve' one's own 'style'.
After sitting on a luxury-class cruise ship and following Liang Zhengxian to open up her horizons, Wang Manni sometimes even laughs at those who don't know how to enjoy themselves.
What is saving money to resist risks, what is saving money to buy a house?
As for Liang Zhengxian. A trace of disdain flashed in Wang Manni's eyes.
After regaining her confidence with Jiang Chen, Wang Manni has decided not to worry about this man anymore.
Since she can charm Liang Zhengxian and make him almost abandon Zhao Jingyu, who has been dating for seven years, she can naturally catch other rich and single rich husbands.
Even if she is thirty years old, she has nothing but self-confidence.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Wang Manni added another layer of makeup.
Life will still go on.
This sentence is also true for Gu Jia.
The dream Gu Jia had last night did not mention it to Xu Huanshan, but when he was busy with various materials contracts at the tea factory, he paid some attention to Xu Huanshan's expression.
嗡~
The mobile phone vibrated, and Gu Jia pretended to be inadvertently glanced at Xu Huanshan from the corner of her eye, and saw the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
"Whose message is it, to see you smiling so happily?" Gu Jia's expression turned cold, then she calmed down and smiled.
"Ah? Did I laugh?" Xu Huanshan subconsciously buckled up his phone, touched the corner of his mouth, and smiled unnaturally, "Oh~~ Maybe I suddenly thought of a firework design idea, so I can't help it?"
Xu Huanshan turned on the phone while talking, and the screen that lit up was a photo of breakfast, the content was very simple, bread and poached eggs and a glass of milk.
Xu Huanshan swipe up.
'Remember to eat breakfast~' Coupled with a youthful selfie photo, a bright smile and the signature scissors with tilted head, it gives people a very comfortable feeling.
There is no reply, nor any indication.
When Lin Youyou opened a certain letter again, he only saw a red mark and a reminder to be blocked and delete a friend.
There was a happy smile on the corner of her mouth, she was not annoyed by Xu Huanshan's blocking and deletion.
Married men always have a lot of inconveniences, especially under the high-pressure and strict discipline of his wife, it is normal to be cautious.
Blocking is added, anyway, the other party will agree every time, even if it will be deleted again after agreeing, but the process from application to approval is getting faster and faster.
That Gu Jia will definitely only be around her husband and children all day long, restricting Xu Huanshan's freedom, and managing him like a child. Such a yellow-faced woman is not worthy of a beautiful, rich, Xu Huanshan has such a good personality.
Only someone who is young and beautiful like himself and knows how to appreciate Xu Huanshan's talent is a match made in heaven.
Women chasing men, interlayer gauze, she doesn't believe it, there are still cats in the world who don't steal.
Pry the opponent's corner a little bit, if the opponent doesn't let go, then start with the opponent's child!
A gleam of determination flashed in Lin Youyou's eyes.
On the Grand Hyatt Mansion, Xu Huanshan's clumsy acting skills were seen by Gu Jia, walked to the workbench, looked at Xu Huanshan who had quickly turned off his mobile phone, and said calmly: "The things at the tea factory are basically settled. , I will go to Xiangxi in two days to complete the follow-up handover work with the local officials."
"How many days are you going?" Xu Huanshan had sensed Gu Jia's strangeness, smiled unnaturally, took Gu Jia's hand, and asked with concern, "You have never run a tea factory before, even if you have Mr. Zhou's financial support should also be cautious, you don't have to worry about the Shanghai side, the fireworks company has me, and I will take good care of Ziyan's side."
"It will probably take more than a week?"
Gu Jia looked down at the hands gently held by the two, and looked up at Xu Huanshan's eyes. Although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, there was no smile in his eyes.
"Before you leave, is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Gu Jia's scrutinizing gaze made Xu Huanshan panic, the smile on his face suddenly subsided, his mind was running wildly, and his first reaction was still to cover up and retreat, which he had long been accustomed to.
"Didn't you leave in two days? Why are you asking about this today?" Xu Huanshan tentatively pretended to be calm with a stiff smile.
Gu Jia took a deep look at Xu Huanshan, and said meaningfully: "Aren't I a little worried about my family?"
"There is nothing to worry about." Xu Huanshan pretended not to see it, and smiled, "I will take good care of the family."
Gu Jia didn't speak, and stared at Xu Huanshan for a long time, then smiled and said, "Then I can rest assured."
"So, you really plan to leave at this time!"
Zhong Xiaoqin held the milk and looked at Gu Jia in surprise.
"Did you sleep in the coffin for too long? Startled, want to sit up?"
Si Teng next to him glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin with some disgust, and put down the coffee in his hand.
Zhong Xiaoqin was bitter for a while, and said bitterly: "Zhou Ji, do you care about your Si Teng? You know how to bully me all day long."
Zhou Ji, who was chatting with Jiang Chen next to the bar, shrugged, and nuzzled at Si Teng, "After all, she is a pregnant woman, so be careful with your words, don't say coffins, can't they be called 'boxes' for short?"
Si Teng rolled his eyes at Zhou Ji, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"You!" Zhong Xiaoqin gritted her teeth, gouged out Zhou Ji's eyes, scolded herself for asking for trouble, and was too lazy to talk to these two people, leaned in front of Gu Jia, and said hesitantly, "Jia Jia, are you really going to Xiangqian? "
"The officials in Tanxi County have urged me several times. The tea factory in Kongshan Village must be handed over. Who will I go to?" Gu Jia gently stroked Zhong Xiaoqin's hair and smiled. "Don't forget that you are also one of the bosses. When you give birth to your baby and pass the confinement period, you must come and help me."
Zhong Xiaoqin nodded seriously, touched her swollen belly, and whispered: "I'm afraid I won't know anything by then, not only won't be of much help, but will also cause you trouble."
While comforting Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia raised her eyes to look at Si Teng, hesitated, but said nothing.
A housewife for eight years, Zhong Xiaoqin and Si Teng can be said to be her only two friends now. Although she intends to let them pay attention to Xu Huanshan's movements during her business trip, the two of them have difficulty moving when they are pregnant with a baby. , the other just met not long ago, and it's not easy to ask her for such a thing.
On the contrary, Si Teng saw Gu Jia's concerns at a glance, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not interested in what you want to say, but I can let Zhou Ji get in touch with Xu Huanshan these days to see if there is anything unusual about him. move."
Gu Jia smiled wryly, and once again lamented Si Teng's cleverness.
As for Zhou Ji, I just learned from Lu Fang that Wang Manni came to the coffee shop again, and that Jiang Chen, knowing that Wang Manni has a boyfriend, still promised to prepare a cup of more than two hundred yuan for her tomorrow. coffee.
Is this licking a dog?
Scared, scared.
Caressing his forehead, Zhou Ji lamented that Jiang Chen never forgot about this gold digger, and at the same time understood that only by breaking this memory filter can Jiang Chen see the reality clearly.
Jiang Chen couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard Lu Fang's low tone of resentment.
After he broke up with Wang Manni back then, he started from scratch and worked hard for several years before he opened this coffee shop, and the little girl next to him has been silently supporting him with her actions.
In the past, he only had memories of the past in his eyes, but after getting to know Zhou Ji, he gradually noticed the girl who had been following him.
Especially after learning that Wang Manni had a boyfriend, his relationship with Lu Fang gradually began to heat up. However, before the temperature had fully risen, Wang Manni who appeared again poured cold water on his head.
Sighed lightly, Zhou Ji didn't persuade Jiang Chen on the spot. Anyway, he threw grass and beat rabbits. Investigating Xu Huanshan is also an investigation, and investigating Wang Manni is also an investigation. It won't be too late to talk about it after collecting enough information.
The night was dark, and Xu Huanshan's mood became more and more depressed.
Every time he meets Lin Youyou, he feels that he enjoys it very much. He enjoys the adoring eyes of the other party and enjoys the other party's understanding of his emotions.
It's a pity that all of this will come to an end today.
However, after some negotiations, Xu Huanshan was defeated, and the party who originally wanted to persuade the other party to give up suddenly became the wavering party.
In the western restaurant.
Xu Huanshan seemed to be running away, and got up to leave, but Lin Youyou grabbed his wrist again.
Dodging again, Xu Huanshan retracted his arms and escaped from the restaurant without looking back.
