Xia Keying was not familiar with Nancheng and had never gone out to eat barbecue, so the first job given to her by Fu Xiumai was a bit tricky for her.

She called Xiao A, and Xiao A said that he was a 24K pure otaku and only ate takeout.

Xia Keying had no choice but to turn to Du Xizhe for help.

"Monsoon rain opened a barbecue restaurant, and we went to the show when it opened, and then we went there several times, you forgot?"

Monsoon? New name, who!

When she returned to Nancheng, she did conduct an investigation on Xia Keying, but the investigation was all about her family situation and basic social relationships, and as for other people in her friends, she did not know about it.

"Who is the monsoon rain?" Xia Keying asked bluntly.

Du Xizhe sighed, "Ke Ying, why are you? You don't remember the monsoon rain, and you still said that he is your best friend, the best friend in this life." ”

"I've been in a car accident before, and I don't remember some things clearly. Xia Keying moved out the most powerful reason.

Although Xia Keying didn't know about Xia Keying's car accident in the border city, it could be traced back to Nancheng, so she was not afraid of being investigated.

Du Xizhe didn't ask, he gave Xia Keying's mobile phone number of Monsoon Rain.

Xia Keying looked at the mobile phone number, thinking of the name Ji Fengyu, she thought that the other party was a girl, because Du Xizhe said that the other party was Xia Keying's best friend.

Xia Keying has lived in Nancheng for twenty-four years, and it is not surprising that she has a few girlfriends who play well.

Dealing with girls, Xia Keying is still sure.

Unexpectedly, the call was answered by a man.

"You're a monsoon?"

"Yes, I'm Monsoon. The man's voice was pretty nice, "Who are you?"

"I'm Xia Keying. ”

"Ke Ying?" the other party was taken aback, "Where are you now?"

"I'm in Southtown. ”

"When are you back?"

Xia Keying thought that Du Xizhe was right, this monsoon rain was really Xia Keying's good friend, and she was so excited to hear the message that she came back.

"I've been back for a week. Xia Keying smiled, "Are you okay?"

"It's still the same. I ......" the other party hesitated for a moment, "I heard about your parents, and I also heard about you and Du Xizhe, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. ”

"It's okay, I'm worried about you, and I've tried to look for you, but in the end it was all in vain, where have you been this year?"

"I don't remember exactly, I had a car accident, a serious car accident. "That's a good excuse.

When Ji Yuyu heard this, he suddenly became nervous, "Where are you now, I'll go see you." ”

"Or I'll go to you, you send me the address of your barbecue shop. ”

Xia Keying ended the call after speaking.

She went to Fu Xiumao's office and told him that she was going to go out.

"For the dinner party in the evening. She said.

"What, the restaurant is not easy to book?"

"The restaurant is easy to book, but I have to make sure the environment in the store, no matter what, it is a dinner for our Xia Group project team, and we can't be sloppy." ”

She has always been serious in her work, or if she doesn't do it, she must do it well, although being Fu Xiumao's assistant has another purpose, but she is not willing to be perfunctory.

That's what she is.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Fu Xiumai put down the pen in his hand and tried to stand up.

"No, I'm your assistant Mr. Xiumao, and I should do the errand work alone. ”

"But Miss Ke Ying is my employer's granddaughter. ”

"Public is public, private is private. ”

"Then you go alone. Fu Xiumao sat back down.

Xia Keying, "......" who is he teasing?

She turned to leave.

Fu Xiumai suddenly opened her mouth again, "Did you give her my gift?"

Naturally, he asked about the necklace.

Xia Keying had no choice but to turn around, "She never brings jewelry." Also, I heard that Mr. Xiu Mao didn't fall in love with her at first sight, so why are you doing this?"

"Pursue her. Fu Xiumai raised his head, "Because there is no rule that you can't pursue it if you don't fall in love at first sight." ”

Xia Keying frowned.

"Mr. Xiu's interest in women is very random. ”

"Maybe, Miss Ke Ying has an opinion?" Fu Xiumai raised his eyes to look at her.

Xia Keying shook her head.

She wasn't in a position to have an opinion about his random interests.

"Does she know that Mr. Xiu Mao is going to pursue her?" Xia Keying asked.

"You should know, I'm not asking you to give her a necklace, a man starts spending money on a woman to mean that he has an idea, but Miss Ying won't even know this?"

"I know it's useless, the point is that she knows. ”

"You didn't tell her?"

"Mr. Xiumai's call fee does not include an analysis of your behavior. ”

"So I'll have to pay you another pen analysis fee. ”

"I'm not here to rip money, I'm talking about a fact. Xia Keying didn't want to continue this topic, and she didn't seem to be able to fight this Fu Xiumai even if she was talking about it.

"If there's nothing else I'll go to the restaurant first, and I'll send you a message when it's booked. ”

Half an hour later, Xia Keying arrived at the barbecue restaurant in the monsoon rain.

For a restaurant, this barbecue restaurant in Monsoon Rain is still quite large-scale.

The interior of the store is Japanese-style, and the private rooms are also very distinctive, ranging from elegant business rooms to warm and romantic couples' rooms.

Xia Keying was very satisfied with this.

She is also very satisfied with the friend of Monsoon.

Before she came, she asked Xiao A to investigate the information of the monsoon rain.

Monsoon rain, twenty-six years old, his parents have a good relationship with Xia Keying's parents, in a sense, he and Xia Keying can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.

Xiao A also checked the Ji family by the way, the Ji family is a catering tycoon in Nancheng, and in addition to opening a Western restaurant, the family also opened a local restaurant that is very local, but these businesses are all managed by Ji Yuyu's brother.

Monsoon had a soft spot for barbecue when he was studying abroad, and after returning to Nancheng, he opened his own barbecue restaurant.

Business is booming.

Self-employed, with good aesthetics, and ideas for management, this is why Xia Keying is satisfied with Monsoon Rain's friend.

She felt that Xia Keying was not good at looking at her boyfriend, and there was nothing wrong with her other aspects for the time being.

After seeing the environment in the store, Xia Keying and Ji Yuyu sat down in the store.

"Why did you suddenly think to go to work?" asked Monsoon Rain.

He has soft facial features and a kind face, not the type that is easy to see and can't take your eyes off, but it makes people feel reassured.

The body is not tall or short, and it is about 1.75 meters by sight.

This makes Xia Keying more satisfied, she doesn't like men who are too aggressive, such as Fu Xiumao, handsome and angry, and so tall that people can't reach it.

"It's boring to be at home. Xia Keying found that her tone would also be soft when she spoke.

"It's also said that when you have nothing to do, you will think about everything, and be busy and fulfilling. Monsoon poured the brewed pre-rain tea into a fine teacup and carefully served it to her.

"The tea is a little hot, drink it slowly. His tone was incomparably gentle.

Xia Keying nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip.

The tea is indeed a bit hot but tasty.

He continued, "After the death of your uncle and aunt, your brother left the country, so our family has no contact with your family, and I really don't know if you came back this time. ”

Listening to the tone, there was some self-reproach.

Xia Keying smiled at him, and in order to ease the atmosphere, she said, "My brother is back too." ”

"yes, is he getting better?"

Xia Keying shook her head, "It's still the same, but it's well controlled." ”

"Who is coming here for dinner today, are you and your brother?"

"No, the people in the company, my little aunt still has ...... Fu Xiumao, do you know Fu Xiumao?"

"I heard your dad mention it before, he is a very capable man, and he doesn't seem to be very old, twenty-seven or twenty-eight?"

Xia Keying didn't care about this, she replied unclear, "I'm his assistant now." ”

"Oh, that's ......," Monsoon looked at her and stopped.

Xia Keying smiled slightly, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say if you're going to like him, I've heard he's handsome, and you've always liked the handsome type. ”

Xia Keying smiled again, "I won't be superficial anymore, besides, handsome men are unreliable, and handsome like Fu Xiumai is even more unreliable." Besides, my sister-in-law is interested in him. ”

"Your sister-in-law Xia Rumin?" Ji Yuyu was a little surprised, "Your sister-in-law is thirty-eight, right?"

"New Year's love is very popular now, and besides, my sister-in-law looks quite young. ”

Ji Fengyu glanced at her, and suddenly sighed, "I haven't seen you mature a lot in a year, if you had before, you would definitely gossip with me about your sister-in-law and old cow eating tender grass." ”

"What was I like before?"

"It's very simple, super crying. ”

"Crying people are annoying. Xia Keying took a sip of tea, to be honest, she hated such a girl very much.

It's so simple that it's stupid, and it cries when something happens.

But Monsoon doesn't think so, "I think it's cute. ”

He hurriedly added, "Of course, you feel better now, you have a feeling of quiet years, but you look a little lonely." ”

"I was really lonely because I forgot a lot of things and didn't know who to turn to when I came back. ”

"It doesn't matter. He reached out and took her hand, "Isn't there still me, I'll take you to reacquaint yourself with your former friends another day, and I think it's better for you to forget the previous things, so that you can start again, and I will always be by your side." ”

Xia Keying didn't speak, she looked at his hand, his hand was small but dry and warm, and it was soft but strong when he shook her hand.

Xia Keying has never been treated like this, as if she is a little girl who needs to be cared for.

She didn't pull back.

"Thank you!"

"Fool, say thank you to me, we are best friends. He reached out his other hand and patted her on the head.

"Wait a minute, I just bought some strawberry cake today, I'll go get it with you. ”

As he spoke, he patted her head again and got up and went to the inner room.

After a while, he came out with a small piece of strawberry cake, put it in front of her, and handed her the fork.

"Taste it. His voice was also gentle.

Xia Keying took it and picked up a small piece and put it in her mouth.

She had never eaten cake before, and because she worked for the organization, she couldn't show up in the crowd, so she ate three meals a day at a roadside stall, and ate instant noodles when she wasn't going out.

She won't go to places like cake shops and dessert shops that need to be stopped and equipped with monitoring facilities.

So when the first bite of cake broke into her taste buds, Xia Keying felt happy.

She took another bite.

"It's delicious. She said heartily.

"I bought it at the store I used to like. ”

It turns out that Xia Keying loves sweets.

She really didn't know anything about her.

A few minutes later, Xia Keying had already cleaned up the cake.

Ji Yuyu looked at her, "Although you like to eat, I still don't want to help you get it again, otherwise you won't be able to eat the barbecue after a while, and the barbecue is carefully pickled by me." ”

"I'm not going to the dinner today, I'm just Fu Xiumao's assistant, not from their team. ”

"That's it!" Ji Yuyu thought for a moment, "Then we'll eat it, and I'll bake it for you myself." ”

Xia Keying nodded, she also wanted to eat barbecue, not to mention that there were still people to invite.

Xia Keying sent the address of the barbecue restaurant to Fu Xiumao.

Half an hour later, Fu Xiumai, Xia Rumin and a few people from the project department arrived at the barbecue restaurant.

Xia Keying greeted Monsoon Rain at the door.

"In private room five. Xia Keying said to Fu Xiumao.

Fu Xiumao nodded and glanced at the monsoon rain.

Xia Rumin, who was following behind Fu Xiumao, also saw the monsoon rain.

"Why are you there?" it was clear that she knew Monsoon.

"This is my shop. Monsoon replied.

Xia Rumin made a sudden realization expression, "No wonder Xia Keying chose here, it turned out to take care of your business." ”

Ji Feng smiled and didn't respond directly, stretching out his hand to let everyone please.

On the way to the private room, Fu Xiumai asked Xia Rumin, "Xia Keying is very familiar with this boss?"

"He is the youngest son of the Ji family, and the Ji family has a good relationship with my dead eldest brother, and this Ji Fengyu and Xia Keying are childhood sweethearts. ”

Speaking of which, I don't know what Xia Rumin meant, she added, "Ji Yu has always liked Xia Keying, this Xia Keying was hurt by Du Xizhe, and eighty percent wanted to find comfort here in Ji Yu, women like to find a sense of existence in front of people who love themselves, this is the spare tire effect." ”

"Are you saying that this shopkeeper likes Xia Keying?" Fu Xiumai turned around and glanced in the direction where Xia Keying and Monsoon were located.

Xia Rumin nodded, "Yes, in fact, my little niece used to have dealings with many boys, otherwise how could Xia Yiyi pry Du Xizhe away, and the person who was split is also responsible, Assistant Fu, don't you say?"

"I haven't been hacked, I don't know. ”

After Fu Xiumai finished speaking, he walked into the private room with long legs.

Others came in one after another.

Then serve on the stone pot.

"What about Xia Keying?" Fu Xiumai asked everyone.

Someone replied, "She seems to be in a private room with the owner of this shop." ”

Fu Xiumai picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Xia Keying.

"Come here. He commanded.

"Not satisfied with the location?"

"Where's you?"

"Any other commands?"

"I ask where are you, hurry up?"

"It's your team's dinner, and I'm not part of this project, so I'm not going to go. ”

"But you're my assistant, and you let me come with food and wine, as well as the bill?"

"Mr. Xiu Mao can tell my little aunt, she should be glad. ”

"Give you thirty seconds, come right over. Fu Xiumai was a little angry.

Unexpectedly, Xia Keying sent him a refusal emoji.

Fu Xiu angrily threw his phone on the table.

"What's wrong?" asked Xia Rumin, who was sitting next to him.

"It's okay, my favorite little girl is playing tricks. ”

"When did Assistant Fu have someone he liked, why don't I know. ”

"Do you still need to report this kind of thing to the planning department?" Fu Xiumai was a little puzzled, "Does the company have such regulations?"

Xia Rumin smiled awkwardly, "That's not true, I just felt a little surprised." ”

"It's no surprise, I'm normal and in love, and I like women. ”

"That's right. Xia Rumin took a sip of tea to hide her disappointment, and then asked, "How did Assistant Fu know the other party?"

"Miss Ke Ying introduced it to me. ”

Xia Keying?

Xia Keying introduced a girlfriend to Fu Xiumai?

Xia Rumin was stunned, no wonder Xia Keying dragged Du Xizhe to Xia Wentao's house last time and said that she was not interested in Fu Xiumao.

It turns out that she is holding back to make other bad.

"What kind of woman is the other party?" asked Xia Rumin tentatively.

"Deputy Team Leader Xia seems to be very curious about my business. ”

"I'm curious, wondering what kind of woman got into your eyes. In fact, she wanted to know who Xia Keying introduced to Fu Xiumao, the female friends around her were all those eldest ladies in Nancheng, she knew almost all of them, and there were few of them who were more beautiful than her and more feminine than her.

Fu Xiumai didn't answer, he was still thinking about the emoji that Xia Keying sent him.

The first time she gave him a love bag, the rejection was a rejection meme.

I'm so angry!

"Assistant Fu, what am I asking you?" Xia Rumin asked again.

"Do I have to answer?"

"I want to know. Xia Rumin tilted her head and made a coquettish gesture of a little girl.

Fu Xiumai smiled and replied, "A woman who can enter my eyes must be able to arouse my interest. To put it simply, I like women who have a challenge. ”

"What do you mean to be challenging?"

"For example?"

"It's better to be like that. ”

"The woman who has always said that she doesn't like me, this example is easy enough to understand. ”

Xia Rumin burst out laughing, "Is there a woman in this world who doesn't like Fu Xiumao?"

"Probably not, but a smart woman will hide her liking and let me challenge it. ”

"Isn't that a trick, Assistant Fu, should you fall in love with a green tea girl?" Xia Rumin said, reaching out and patting the back of Fu Xiumao's hand.

Fu Xiumao stood up, "In that case, I have to find Miss Ke Ying." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Xia Rumin's condensed smile, got up and walked out of the private room.
