Chapter 34: Rivals in Love
He Yan turned his head and found that there was a man in a straight suit standing behind him, who looked to be about thirty years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, the appearance of a standard male news anchor of the imperial court station, with a stern expression, and a sharp gaze staring at He Yan's hand on Wu Xiaoya's back.
"Oh, look at my brain, I've forgotten about business!" Wu Xiaoya patted her head and explained a little embarrassedly, "Senior brother, this is my college classmate, and I am also your junior brother He Yan, the school grass of our school." He Yan also introduced to him, "This is my boss in the design institute." Last time my dad was injured, my brother also helped me, today I invited him here to eat, just now patronizing and talking to you almost forgot about this stubble. ”
As soon as she heard the word "school grass", Wu Xiaoya's boss looked at He Yan with a more aggressive gaze. With a straight face, he stretched out his hand and said mechanically: "He Yan, right? Hello, I'm Liu Mingdong." ”
The hostility in the other party's eyes was too strong, and He Yan couldn't see that he was treating himself as an imaginary rival. While sighing in his heart that Wu Xiaoya, a man's wife, also dared to ask for it, he stretched out his hand and said, "Senior Brother Liu, hello." I am the boyfriend of Wu Xiaoya's good sister Cheng Qiao. The last time it was because of my girlfriend.,Since I met you this time.,It's better to meet by chance.,It's better for me to do it today.,Thank you for helping her.。 ”
Liu Mingdong pursued Wu Xiaoya's matter, the whole design institute from the leaders to the general staff knew that only she herself was still in the clouds, only when she was good to her was the care of her superiors to her subordinates, and the care of her brother for her sister, today I finally seized the opportunity to date the two alone, who knew that as soon as I went to the second floor, Wu Xiaoya said that when she saw an acquaintance, she threw him down and ran away.
When he saw the appearance of He Yan beside Wu Xiaoya, Liu Mingdong suddenly felt like a great enemy. He Yan explained his relationship with Wu Xiaoya clearly in a few words, and heard him say that he already had a girlfriend and was still Wu Xiaoya's good sister, so he was relieved.
Wu Xiaoya heard that He Yan was going to rush to pay with her, so she hurriedly shook her hand and refused: "Today I invited my senior brother to dinner, how can I let you pay the bill!"
He Yan directly ignored her objection, looked at Liu Mingdong and said, "I see...... Let me do it today, as for the meal that Xiaoya invited to the senior brother, it is better to save it for next time. ”
Liu Mingdong listened to his suggestion, and thought that he even had the opportunity to go on a date next time, and he happily agreed: "Since the junior brother is so gracious, I will let you break the bank today;." He said to Wu Xiaoya again, "Xiaoya, which private room did you order?"
The two big men made a decision, and Wu Xiaoya, a weak woman, couldn't object, and whispered the name of the private room: "Peony Hall." ”
The three of them entered the private room, and He Yan handed the menu to Liu Mingdong and asked him to order. He found that although Liu Mingdong's eyes were staring at the menu page by page and turning back, his mouth kept asking Wu Xiaoya's opinion, and finally after ordering the dishes, He Yan found that they were all Wu Xiaoya's usual favorite foods.
It seems that the senior brother does not like Wu Xiaoya ordinarily, but is very attentive. He Yan said silently in his heart.
Waiting for the dishes, Wu Xiaoya asked He Yan: "What have you been busy with lately, I haven't seen you go to Qiaoqiao." ”
He Yan replied a little helplessly: "Something happened at home, I really can't spare time...... I can't get through to her phone all the time......"
"What's so strict that you don't even care about your girlfriend?" Wu Xiaoya is a design house, and she doesn't know much about the news in the business world, so she asked.
Liu Mingdong was well-informed and heard some rumors in the market, so he asked tentatively: "I heard that the stock of He's Group has been suspended?"
He Yan glanced at the senior brother sitting next to Wu Xiaoya, and found that this person was really not simple. Since everything is broken, he no longer hides it, and answers directly: "Something happened to my father, and now I am taking over the affairs of the management group." ”
"Ah, He Yan, what's wrong with your father?" Wu Xiaoya cried out in surprise.
This time He Yan didn't speak, and lowered his head to look at the tablecloth. Wu Xiaoya couldn't see him like this, and shouted anxiously: "What the hell is going on?
He Yan didn't say anything, but Liu Mingdong solved her confusion, "Some time ago, an official surnamed Qi was dismissed, and the He family was probably implicated." ”
"Wouldn't it?" Wu Xiaoya stared at He Yan with a sympathetic expression, "I'll just say why didn't you go to Qiaoqiao, it turns out that there is such a big problem at home! Our school is a famous school, and there are many capable students! As he spoke, he elbowed Liu Mingdong next to him, "For example, Senior Brother Liu, last time my father was injured by a few gangsters, didn't he severely punish the murderer?"
Being praised so much by the person he likes, Liu Mingdong rarely showed a pleasant face, and he was also concerned about He Yan: "Xiaoya is right. Everyone is the same brother, if the junior brother has any difficulties, you may wish to say it directly, but if you can help, the senior brother will definitely help. ”
Everyone talks about this, and it would be a bit hypocritical for He Yan not to give a response. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes blazing: "Senior brother, there is really something to trouble you." The group's shares are suspended, and all accounts are currently frozen, and there is now a lack of liquidity. I want to sell my stake in the design company, can you help me find a suitable buyer?"
Wu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment when she heard his words: "He Yan, you don't plan to do it in an architectural design company?"
He Yan nodded at her, closed his eyes, and was a little nostalgic and reluctant on his face: "Yes, I invested in a design company for Qiaoqiao at the beginning, but now Qiaoqiao doesn't do it, what's the point of me being there alone?"
Wu Xiaoya also nodded, "That's what I said." ”
He Yan added: "Don't let Qiaoqiao know about my family's affairs, I don't want her to be cāo for me." ”
Wu Xiaoya continued to nod, perhaps because she was infected by He Yan, and said with emotion: "You and Qiaoqiao have been in trouble, and the misunderstanding is quite deep, and I don't know when I will be able to untie this knot reads;." ”
He Yan was full of confidence: "Good things are grinding." ”
Wu Xiaoya stretched out her hand to hug Liu Mingdong's arm and shook it, "Senior brother, you can help him." His troubles were solved, and only then did he have time to find Qiaoqiao to explain, and they could get back together. I don't have to worry about them if they reconcile......"
Liu Mingdong withdrew his arm and tapped lightly on her forehead dotingly: "Okay, in order not to let Xiao Yaduo worry, I will definitely try my best to help Senior Brother He." ”
With the assurance of his senior brother, He Yan felt that a stone that was pressing on his heart finally fell to the ground. didn't want to stay in the box and continue to act as a light bulb, so he casually made up a reason to quietly go to the front desk to pay and leave, leaving Liu Mingdong and Wu Xiaoya to live in a two-person world.
Liu Mingdong was satisfied to feed Wu Xiaoya's vegetables, and he appreciated He Yan's knowledge and interest very much, and decided to repay him with peach and plum and try to sell him at a good price.
Cheng Qiao took the time to go back to the provincial capital and visited his grandparents first. The old man hadn't seen his granddaughter for a while, so he pulled her to ask her how she was doing, for fear that her granddaughter would suffer. After a long sigh, he strongly asked her to stay for a meal, but Cheng Qiao couldn't refuse to accompany the two of them to have lunch before leaving.
At noon, I went to the architectural design company where she used to work, and at that time she was so angry that she only submitted her resignation, and left without going through the formalities, and the work was not handed over.
Entering the big boss's office, the senior brother had a tense face when he saw her, and his eyes were staring at her fiercely.
Before Cheng Qiao could speak, she was greeted by a burst of scolding.
"I said Cheng Qiao, what's the matter with you? I usually look like a very reliable person, why did you disappear for a few months without making a sound, you have been working for a few years, where is the professionalism? The work is not done, and the customer doesn't care, you can do it......"
Cheng Qiao knew that he was at a loss, so he drooped his head and let his senior brother scold enough, and only when he stopped did he raise his head and secretly look at his senior brother with a guilty face.
The senior brother scolded so much that his mouth was dry, he raised his water glass and gulped water, and after drinking, he pointed at her and started a new round of bombardment: "You are a red face and a curse! If you don't do it yourself, forget it, what's the matter with He Yan? He actually stopped doing it with you, and even sold the company's shares! A big old man chased after the little girl's ass, what is the matter! You said that you are not a troublemaker!"
Cheng Qiao raised his head in surprise: "There is still such a thing?"
The senior brother glared at her angrily: "Don't pretend to be innocent to me, you don't know about him?"
Cheng Qiao felt very aggrieved, she hadn't been in contact with He Yan for a long time, how could she know!
"You guys, don't let me worry about it...... Go, go, go!" the senior brother scolded tired and panted, and Cheng Qiao waved his hand and let her out of the office.
Cheng Qiao went to the human resources department to complete the handover procedures at half past three in the afternoon, and hurried to the flower and bird market by the river. Now that she has money on hand, she naturally wants to decorate the backyard of the old mansion.
Don't think about pavilions, rockeries, fountains, at least plant some trees for the four seasons.
After visiting a few shops, the scale is not large, the tree species are not very complete, or you need to book and wait for a long time to arrive, Cheng Qiao drove Xiaobai back to Chengjia Village in disappointment, planning to search the Internet to see where there are still places to sell seedlings.
When I returned home in the afterglow of the sunset, I found that the door of the yard was empty, and I went in and walked around and it was empty. Cheng Qiao thought there was an accident, and anxiously ran to the next door, only to find that the neighbors were empty.
