Luo Qi turned into a small alley, just in time for students to eat before evening self-study, a street full of various snacks, many students came out to look for food.
She hasn't been here for ten years, and the alley has hardly changed.
It was still the same car repair shop. In front of the door, the tall, thin, deaf-mute boss was repairing the tires. Diagonally opposite the car repair shop, the apron worn by the proprietress who sells oden cooking is similar to the previous one, with gray and black checks.
Luo Qi didn't eat oden for some years, so she stood at the end of the queue.
The few students in the front line pushed each other and shouted to treat each other, just like they did when they were students.
A student suddenly turned his head and shouted at the car repair shop that was passing by: "Mr. Lu, would you like a copy? Today is a treat for a small stingy man, if you don't kill it, you won't kill it!"
The boy called "Little Stingy" grabbed the man's neck, "Who are you calling a little stingy, do you want to eat?"
"Teacher Lu, save me!"
Several people wrestled into a ball, fighting with laughter like killing a pig.
When Luo Qi heard Teacher Lu, she wondered if it was Lu Bosheng, and turned to look at it, but her boss' eyes collided with her in mid-air.
While she was queuing, Lu Baisheng and Jiang Shenghe came to the car repair shop.
Lu Bosheng nodded to her and said hello, and then said to the group of students: "Today I treat guests, so I won't invite you any more."
"Ms. Lu, we didn't fight, really."
As he spoke, he scratched the other party again.
Lu Baisheng is familiar with the owner of Kanto Cooking, and she often pays for the students, "I'll pay later."
"Okay."
Somebody's school uniform was torn off and fell to the ground, and was stepped on a few times.
Rocky helped pick it up.
"Thank you, beautiful sister."
"You're welcome." Luo Qi stopped queuing and went to the car repair shop to say hello to them. Fortunately, she hadn't been in the line yet, and she took the oden and ate it in front of the boss, but couldn't finish it.
"Mr. Lu, long time no see."
"It's been a long time. Just now I asked Jiang Shenghe why I didn't invite you to come with me."
Only then did Luo Qi look at the boss, and greeted politely: "Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shenghe noticed that from Teacher Lu to Mr. Jiang, the smile on her face has also changed from a bright smile to a professional fake smile.
The owner of the auto repair shop couldn't hear him, and Luo Qi couldn't greet him.
Lu Bosheng told his brother in sign language: Her name is Luo Qi. She used to study here and repaired cars in the shop.
The boss has repaired too many students' cars. After many years, I can't remember who it is.
Lu Bosheng said again: She is Jiang Shenghe's favorite girl. After six years, he finally had the chance to chase her.
The boss smiled and replied in sign language: That's great.
Luo Qi watched Lu Bosheng communicate with his wife's brother without barriers using sign language. Rather than being shocked, she was more moved, moved for no reason.
The shop owner turned to Luo Qi and smiled, asking Luo Qi to sit in the shop.
Rocky smiled knowingly.
Lu Bosheng greeted them to enter the store, where various accessories for electric vehicles are stacked, and there is also a small kitchen inside, "Don't be disgusted, the place is small."
Luo Qi said: "It's not small. Our living room is not as spacious as this."
Jiang Shenghe glanced at her and couldn't imagine how crowded her house was.
Lu Bosheng put away the folding table and put it against the wall, took a few chairs, and handed one to Luo Qi.
Jiang Shenghe is no stranger to the store, every time he comes to Sucheng, he will sit here for a while.
He was still thinking about oden, so he sent a message to Lu Bosheng: 【Order an oden for Luo Qi. 】Then transferred the money over.
Lu Bosheng couldn't help laughing when he saw the red envelope. He said to Luo Qi: "You sit down first, and I will settle the money for their Kanto cooking."
When he got outside the shop, he accepted the red envelope Jiang Shenghe sent him.
There were only the two of them in the store.
Luo Qi asked, "Mr. Jiang, do you come here often?"
Jiang Shenghe nodded, "Three or four times a year." Sometimes it may be more. This year, Sioux City has the least number because of her engagement.
Soon, Lu Bosheng came in with a cup of Kanto cooking, handed it to Luo Qi, and said grandly: "It's useless, I will pay for it, they will pay for it themselves. Little stingy, please, thank you for picking up the school uniform. Does it suit your taste?"
"Thank you, I don't choose."
Luo Qi was embarrassed: "I'm a working person, how can I let the students treat me?"
"It's all right. I ask them often."
Lu Bosheng took Jiang Sheng and two hundred just now, and returned the extra money.
He chatted with Luo Qi in Suzhou dialect: "Did you feel very unlucky when you saw Jiang Shenghe in line just now, and finally ran into the boss after eating oden."
Rocky: "..."
She smiled, glanced at the boss, and replied to Lu Bosheng against her will: "It's okay."
In fact, the mood at that time was exactly the same as what Lu Bosheng said.
More than bad luck, downright bad luck.
Lu Bosheng poured Jiang Shenghe a cup of tea, turned around and chatted with Luo Qi in dialect: "It's okay, just complain about him. Anyway, I don't want to see the principal when I come out for dinner."
Rocky laughed.
Jiang Shenghe looked at the two of them, chatting so happily, and she laughed so happily, there should be nothing else but talking bad about him.
The atmosphere eased, and Luo Qi planned to start eating, but she couldn't hold her hand all the time.
The folding table was put away, and there was no place to put the bag, so it could only be placed on the lap.
There was a small stool next to Jiang Shenghe, and he picked it up and placed it between them, and at the same time lightly kicked Lu Bosheng's chair.
Lu Bosheng received the signal and found a suitable excuse for his behavior of taking the stool, "The place is too small, the greeting is not good, Luo Qi, put your bag on the stool and make it up."
He took a folding stool from behind to Jiang Shenghe: "This is for you to put the cup."
Jiang Shenghe put his mobile phone and water cup on the small stool, got up and went to the back kitchen to wash his hands. There were pomegranates in the kitchen. He never saw outside Lu Bosheng's house, so he took a pomegranate out.
A pomegranate was divided into two halves, and he and Lu Bosheng chatted about the market development of Yuanwei Medical while eating, so that Luo Qi would not be embarrassed to eat oden.
Regarding Yuanwei Medical, she occasionally said a few words of her own opinion.
Lu Baisheng asked, "When did you make an appointment with He Wancheng tomorrow?"
Jiang Shenghe: "Three o'clock in the afternoon."
"I have class tomorrow afternoon, so I don't have time to accompany you."
"You don't need to go there. Li Rui is also here this time."
Lu Bosheng still had classes in the evening, and they stayed in the car repair shop for half an hour. Jiang Shenghe picked up his mobile phone and said to Luo Qi, "Let's go."
She and the boss are always one step behind.
Jiang Shenghe couldn't see her, so he turned away.
Luo Qi thought that the boss had something to tell her, so she was two steps faster.
Jiang Shenghe was fine, and then gave her the car keys, "You drive." This off-road vehicle is in his personal name, not a company car.
In the car, Luo Qi asked Jiang Shenghe if he had other arrangements for returning to the hotel.
Before answering, Jiang Shenghe asked her: "Aren't you going home to spend time with your parents at night?"
"I've been back. My dad is away on a business trip."
"If it doesn't waste your time, just go shopping."
"Don't delay, I'll be fine when I go back." As long as it was private time, she found that the boss was always very polite to them and always consulted them before doing anything.
Luo Qi started the off-road vehicle, drove towards the new city, and went around the lake. The old city was too congested. Jiang Sheng looked out of the car window, looking dispirited.
Luo Qi was thinking that the boss might be in a bad mood, wondering if he thought of the person in his heart again.
As soon as she left the old city, the phone in her bag kept vibrating.
Jiang Shenghe turned around, stretched out his long arms and took her bag from the back seat. He didn't open it without authorization, and looked at her: "Is it convenient for Fang?"
"No inconvenience, please trouble Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shenghe just opened the bag. There were no odds and ends in her bag. There was a thin notepad and wallet. The mobile phone was next to the wallet. Jiang Shenghe took out the mobile phone without looking at it. seat.
The phone was still vibrating, and lawyer Zhao was displayed on the screen.
"The lawyer's phone number," he said.
She entrusted Lawyer Zhao to handle the two houses that Pei Shixiao gave her.
When Lawyer Zhao called her, it should be related to the house. There was no secret, and there was nothing the boss could not listen to. Luo Qi answered, turned on the loudspeaker, and put the phone on the center console.
"Hello, Lawyer Zhao, what's the matter?"
"That's how it is. Mr. Pei has already sold the house in Sioux City. If you have any important things, pack them up as soon as possible. The house will be handed over to the new owner before the end of the month."
Luo Qi had heard Lawyer Zhao mention before that Pei Shixiao decided to sell the lake view flat in Sioux City, saying that since she didn't want to accept it, there was no point for him to keep it and buy a new one later.
There were no Pei Shixiao's things in the house, but hers. At the hotel for the engagement banquet, she brought two boxes of clothes and daily necessities for convenience after the wedding.
Most of those clothes were bought by herself, and there were a few more expensive skirts and coats, which were birthday presents she gave herself when the family was still in bankruptcy. Although they were old models, given her current standard of living, she was reluctant to buy them again Such extravagant clothes.
Can't just throw it away.
Jiang Shenghe asked: "Is there anything important inside?"
"Yes. I'll go get it when I'm free."
"The next schedule is full, so don't be distracted by a little thing and affect your work." He said indifferently: "Go get it now."
Rocky: "..."
Is it appropriate to use the boss's car to pull your own things?
But if she is twitchy and unhappy, the boss will dislike such a subordinate.
"Thank you, President Jiang."
What they were going to was by the lake, so they stopped by, so there was no need to make a detour.
The off-road vehicle drove all the way to the community where the lake view house was located.
It wasn't the owner's car that couldn't enter the community, Luo Qi slowly pulled over the car.
Jiang Shenghe was just thinking about something, and came back to his senses, "Why stop here?"
Luo Qi unbuckled her seat belt, "The license plate is not in the access control system, I'll go down and register."
"Need not."
Rocky: "..."
After thinking about it, I felt normal again. With the boss's net worth, no matter how many houses there are in Sioux City, it's not unusual.
I don't know which building the boss's house is in.
The car drove directly into the underground parking lot.
Jiang Shenghe didn't get out of the car, "Do you want the property to clean it up for you?"
"No. It's not too much." Luo Qi got out of the car with her bag.
Jiang Shenghe's house is in another one, and someone takes care of it. He hasn't been here for almost a year. While Luo Qi was packing up his things, he went back to his house.
At the beginning, he found someone to buy the most expensive set in the entire community. When he found out that Luo Qi was engaged, he planned to sell it, because the total price was too high, and no one took it for a long time.
There is no need to sell it now.
He turned on a movie and told Rocky not to worry.
Luo Qi tidied it up as quickly as possible, only packing the clothes she bought, which Pei Shixiao gave her, she packed them up and threw them away, and pushed the two boxes downstairs.
There was no car in the parking space and was driven away by Jiang Shenghe.
She sent a message: [Mr. Jiang, I'm fine. 】
A few minutes later, Rocky saw the black SUV coming from the right. She picked up the suitcase to try the weight. The suitcase was too heavy, and it was very difficult to carry it to the trunk.
Jiang Shenghe stopped and got out of the car, and the trunk opened slowly.
Luo Qi pushed the box to the back of the car, "Boss Jiang, don't trouble you, I can carry it myself."
Without saying a word, Jiang Shenghe took the box from her hand, put it into the trunk effortlessly, turned around and picked up another box, and signaled her: "Get in the car, don't waste time."
Luo Qi glanced at him a few times, and sat in the driver's seat without further ado.
"Thank you Mr. Jiang" has been said too many times recently, and she herself felt annoyed, so she didn't say anything, and drove seriously.
At two o'clock the next day, they set off for He Wancheng's company.
At this time, an unexpected visitor came to He Wancheng's office.
The secretary notified: "He Dong, Mrs. Pei is outside, can you see me?"
He Wancheng frowned. He didn't expect Mrs. Pei to come to him to discuss cooperation. No matter how his relationship with the Pei family was, since he came here on his own initiative, he had to give face.
He Wancheng personally served tea, "What kind of wind brought President Li here."
Mrs. Pei smiled, "I know Mr. He is busy, so I'll make a long story short. My son has invested in a medical technology company. You have resources in this area. I wonder if Mr. He is interested in cooperating?"
She also has relevant contacts, but compared to He Wancheng's network resources in this area, it's not worth mentioning.
She has reached a cooperation with her son, and she helps him ease the relationship with Luo Qi's family. The son will choose her when the board of directors changes next year.
After hearing from her son that Luo Qi was interested in 3D printing, she thought that Dongbo Medical, which her son invested in, might as well not sell the shares and simply run it by herself. The son is busy with his own investment company, so he doesn't have the energy to ask about the specific operation of Dongbo Medical, and he is not good at it. She plans to take over, lay a good market for Dongbo Medical and hand it over to Luo Qi for management, so that Luo Qi can see the compound sincerity.
He Wancheng laughed and said, "President Li is a step late."
Mrs. Pei was mentally prepared, "You promised to help Yuanwei with medical treatment, didn't you?"
He Wancheng smiled but said nothing, picked up the teacup and drank tea.
Mrs. Pei said regretfully, "I should have come earlier."
She doesn't have He Wancheng's contact information yet. When she gets control of the group and divorces her husband, it means that she can't cooperate with He Wancheng in other fields.
In the early years, her husband and He Wancheng had an unpleasant fight because of competition, and the two only maintained a harmonious relationship on the scene, and had no personal contact.
The man kept his head secret about who bowed his head first, she didn't care, as long as it was profitable.
"He Dong, is it convenient to add a contact information? There may be opportunities to cooperate in the future."
He Wancheng generously gave his number, Madam Pei left, and he sent her outside the door.
His impression of Mrs. Pei is very complicated. When the old Pei cheated and wanted to divorce, there was a lot of trouble in their circle. Mrs. Pei refused to divorce and forced her to die. He always felt that Mrs. Pei's character was that she couldn't live without anyone, but she didn't even want face, and she didn't want to leave no matter what.
After sending off Mrs. Pei, after a while, Jiang Sheng and the others arrived.
He Wancheng said to Jiang Shenghe: "Dongbo Medical, you may not be able to acquire it."
"Yeah?"
"It shouldn't be wrong."
Mrs. Pei came to him for cooperation because she wanted to start up the market of Dongbo Medical. Since she is determined to manage it, she will not quit easily.
For the rest, He Wancheng didn't say much.
Jiang Shenghe: "They want to sit on the ground and raise the price?"
"I don't know." He Wancheng said, "It's also possible that you don't plan to make a move, and it has nothing to do with the purchase price you offered."
"It doesn't matter, it's just one more competitor." Jiang Shenghe didn't take it to heart at all. Dongbo Medical did not pose a threat to him. If he wanted to acquire, there were plenty of ways.
He glanced at Luo Qi, who was looking down at the information with a calm expression.
That night, Jiang Shenghe received a call from his mother. He had just come out of the dinner.
Liang Zhen was in Sioux City and asked if his son was busy.
"When did you come to Sioux City?"
"Just arrived in the afternoon. A friend of mine's daughter is having a piano performance, and the first stop is Sioux City. I'll join you."
Mother's friends are countless, and it is not a small background for her to make a special trip to Sioux City to support her.
Liang Zhen asked his son, "Are you free tomorrow night? I'll have someone give you a ticket. It's the best seat in the front row."
Not only do I want to support myself, but I also want to pull him in.
Jiang Shenghe was curious: "Whose concert?"
Liang Zhen said a name, "Chu Lin. You should have heard of it."
Jiang Shenghe knew it well, and his mother was doing everything possible to arrange a blind date for him.
He said to his mother last time that if there is someone he likes, he would like to go on a blind date on December 18th, and he retracted that sentence, but his mother still made up her own mind.
The son didn't respond, and Liang Zhen gave a 'Hello'.
Ever since she knew that her son had been secretly in love for six years and that he still had a boyfriend, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. She was worried that if her son continued to sink, he might not be able to get out for the rest of his life. If she introduced him to the right family, he rejected him.
She was anxious about this matter, and her friend Lao Chu called her, and gave her two tickets for his daughter's piano tour, which were tickets for Beijing Railway Station.
On the phone, Lao Chu beat around the bush to inquire about Jiang Shenghe's relationship status.
As soon as she heard it, she knew that the ulterior motives in giving her concert tickets were not for drinking, so she asked openly if she wanted to match the two children.
Lao Chu sighed and told the whole situation.
It turned out that Chulin used the piano as an excuse to refuse to fall in love and get married. She was hurt by a relationship a few years ago and has since refused to talk about relationships. Lao Chu was worried that her daughter would have problems in her heart, and wanted her to meet Jiang Shenghe, so that she would know how many good men there are. yes.
Lao Chu said that he was not trying to force a match, but just looking for an opportunity for the two to meet each other. The follow-up development depends on the children themselves. It is best if they can get along well, and they will not interfere too much.
She also told Lao Chu the truth that her son had someone in her heart for six years.
Lao Chu laughed and said, that's not right, maybe we can have a common topic and understand each other.
After thinking about it, she thought it was feasible. Chu Lin was beautiful and temperamental, and she played the piano well, while Jiang Shenghe usually liked to listen to piano music.
The concert in Beijing is at the end of the year, and my son is the busiest at the end of the year, not necessarily in Beijing. Coincidentally, the time of the performance at Sucheng Station coincided with the time of my son's business trip.
"If you are free, mom will send you the ticket."
"I'm free." Jiang Shenghe turned to look at Luo Qi, who was standing by the car door, waiting for him.
The boss suddenly turned his face away, and was still looking at her. There must be something wrong, so Luo Qi walked over quickly.
Jiang Shenghe said to his mother: "I need a few tickets and I will get back to you later."
He hung up the phone and asked Luo Qi to ask other people if they want to listen to the piano performance tomorrow night, and added: "It's Chulin's concert."
Luo Qi knew that Chu Lin, a well-known young pianist, had appeared on shows, was handsome and talented, and was very humble.
She went to ask Xiao Jiang and Li Rui, Xiao Jiang never forgot her identity as an assist, and responded positively, saying that the free ticket must go.
Li Rui originally wanted to buy a ticket to listen to it by herself. She liked Chu Lin very much, and she became a fan of Chu Lin's personality on the show. She was straightforward and transparent. When the boss gave them the tickets, he said with a smile, "Of course, I would be stupid not to go."
Rocky went to answer, and they both went.
Jiang Shenghe nodded, and said again: "You wait for me in the car." There is no need to stand by the car door.
He sent back to his mother, "Mom, give me six tickets."
Liang Zhen: "..."
I thought she was selling tickets.
But her son was willing to go, and even brought friends from Su Cheng to join him, which gave her enough face.
"Okay, I'll have someone give it to you tomorrow afternoon."
"By the way, Sheng He," Liang Zhen called to his son again.
Jiang Shenghe almost hung up the phone, "What else?"
"Let's have dinner together tomorrow night, and there will be a celebration dinner after the performance."
"Dining is also fine, I will arrange the place." Choose a restaurant that Luo Qi likes.
"This... must have been arranged by Chu Lin, so I can't make the decision on my own."
"Then you eat."
"...You say you." Liang Zhen was helpless, the youngest son had always been like this, and he had no choice but to let others follow his wishes and want him to accommodate others, unless he was happy one day.
His father just found him disliked, so the father and son quarreled when they met.
Liang Zhen asked his son: "Where are you going to arrange it? I have to ask Chu Lin if it's okay, this is the minimum respect."
"Mom, I'm going to invite someone to dinner tomorrow night. If you can accommodate, then come. If you think it's inappropriate, you celebrate yours. No conflict."
There is no room for negotiation.
"Okay, you decide the place."
Liang Zhen could only compromise and discuss it with Lao Chu.
After getting in the car, Jiang Shenghe asked Luo Qi to spare tomorrow night, "You go too."
"Okay." She stayed in the hotel alone with nothing to do.
Jiang Shenghe said to the driver and bodyguard in front, "There are tickets for both of you."
"!"
"..."
They are rough people, so they can't enjoy the concert, but the boss has arranged it so, of course they have intentions, so just go.
In front of Luo Qi, Jiang Shenghe didn't explain why he invited them over. He won't meet any blind date alone, and let his mother completely die tomorrow night.
Just in time, he took Luo Qi to meet his mother.
