Chapter Seventy-Eight: Bitter Melon

Outside, there is the bustle of the city, and inside, it is a quiet night.

Gu Lance sat quietly for a while, got up and poured the finished iron plate into the trash can, turned off the living room light, and entered the room.

When I was about to fall asleep, there seemed to be some movement in the living room.

In a few moments, a crack opened in the door, and a beam of light poured into the dark room.

She walked in quietly, lay down gently beside him, and said in a voice like a feather: "Happy birthday, uncle." ”

The ancient lance opened its eyelids slightly, revealing a soft light like moonlight.

He Shenge didn't know that her body flipped over slightly, and she put her head against the back of Gu Lance: "I'm sorry, next time I will remember your birthday." ”

Then she got up and prepared to leave.

Gu Lance got up and pulled her back: "Where's the gift?"

"I'm in a hurry to come back, I don't have time to buy it, can it be two days?"

"Good. The cold lips of the ancient lance fell on her face like raindrops.

"Uncle, my ticket has been changed to early morning, and I'm going back to the airport now. ”

His lips paused a few inches away from hers, and after a moment of silence, he got up, "I'll take you to the airport." ”

On the way to the airport, Gu Lance did not have a smile on his face, which made He Shenge a little flustered.

When he was about to get on the plane, He Shenge ran back and hugged him: "Uncle, wait for me." ”

"Well, stay safe. ”

After Gu Xingmu saw He Shenge on the plane, he picked up the phone and called a friend in Hong Kong: "Popo, my girlfriend will be in Hong Kong in a while, you go to the airport to pick her up, yes, next time you report to our company's group, I will give you a free one." ”

After arriving at the airport, He Shenge originally asked Wang Xuan to wait for her at the airport, but she didn't expect the sales manager who was talking with her to come and wait for her in person, which made her a little embarrassed.

Popo, the sales manager, is a very talkative woman, with a funny voice and a look that always looks quirky.

He Shenge quickly became acquainted with her.

I learned from popo that she was Gu Lance's cousin, and among the many relatives, the two of them had a better time.

Popo drove He Shenge to the hotel where she stayed to check in, and on the way she kept asking about He Shenge and Gu Lance.

She said: "If my aunt knew that Ah Qi had a girlfriend, she would definitely give you a big red envelope immediately." ”

"Actually, I haven't met my uncle and aunt yet. ”

"They're busy, and so is Lance, and it seems like you're busy too. ”

"It's a bit like now. ”

"It's A's birthday today, really, I'm sorry, I should let you celebrate his birthday with him first. ”

"I'll be with him another day, and I'll get down to business first. ”

Popo, who was driving, glanced sideways at He Shenge: "You are really similar to your aunt." ”

"Really?"

"Yes, she is also a very ambitious person, when Ah Li was young, he basically went to school with me at my house, my aunt had to take care of the store, my uncle had to take classes, my uncle treated his students as children, they always ignored Ah Li, these, he must not have told you, right?"

These words pierced her heart like a thorn.

Popo probably also understands that Gu Lance's previous girlfriend is also like this, she is too ambitious, and she finally broke up, so I don't know if the woman in front of me will go down with him.

"He rarely tells me about him, can you tell me about it?" He Shenge's voice was pleading.

popo was slightly stunned, curled his lips and smiled: "Yes." ”

That night, popo directly asked He Shenge to live in the same room with her and chatted all night, as if he had not seen a friend for many years.

The next day, she took He Shenge to visit her foreign food distribution company and warehouse, and let He Shenge personally taste the foreign food promoted this time.

In view of the experience of the list in Guangxi, even if it was an acquaintance introduced by Gu Li, He Shenge still didn't dare to be gullible, in order to ensure safety, she asked Coco to take some documents for domestic and foreign transactions.

After reading the receipt, He Shenge made another request: "Sister Coco, can I go to a foreign food processing factory to have a look? Otherwise, I can't rest assured, this is entering a person's body, once there is any problem, it will be fatal, and I will also bear a certain responsibility for publicity." ”

"I need to keep up with the head and react. ”

"Good. ”

"Later, I'll get someone else to contact you on a business trip. ”

"No problem. ”

"I hope to work with you. ”

"Me too. ”

The two shook hands, and after a while, they parted ways at the airport.

After returning from Hong Kong, He Shenge plans to cook himself and prepare a dinner for Gu Li.

While He Shenge was cutting bitter melon, the doorbell rang.

The landlady saw that it was He Shenge who opened the door, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Gu is not at home?"

"Yes, he's not here, may I ask who you are?" He Shenge had never seen the landlady, and when he saw such an obese woman, he was a little puzzled and cautious.

"I am the landlord's wife, and I need to communicate with Mr. Gu about some house transfers. ”

"Landlord, you come in first, I'll call him and ask if he can come back. ”

The landlady came in and said, "You don't have to call him, just be there." ”

He Shenge looked at her puzzled.

"Don't you know? Mr. Gu is going to transfer the house to you. The landlady smiled, and her small eyes narrowed into a line: "Mrs. Gu is also blessed to have found such a good man as Mr. Gu, but this is also a shade for the predecessors to plant trees and later generations." ”

He Shenge brought her a cup of tea: "You have a cup of tea first." ”

"Mr. Gu is also a customer of mine who has lived here for a long time, and when he first came, he was not with you, but with another girl. ”

"I know that. He Shenge understood the sourness in the landlady's words, and ignored it.

"At first, he broke up with the girl, I thought he was going to move out, but I didn't expect him to keep it, I thought, maybe the girl will come back in the future, I didn't expect, there are some things, I can't go back. ”

"yes. He Shenge sat there awkwardly.

"You are also blessed, that girl looked away, I was too, I said that this young man can't even afford a house, he doesn't have a car, and the girl is right to leave him, but I didn't expect that Mr. Gu is a low-key person. ”

"He's quite low-key. ”

"That's right, Mrs. Gu is Bole, and she takes a fancy to Mr. Gu's thousand-mile horse at a glance. ”

He Shenge only smiled silently.

"Last year, it seems that not long after he came back from a business trip in Harbin, he suddenly came to the door and paid the full amount at once, I was really scared at that time, he was able to buy this house, but he has been supplying, it is really incomprehensible. ”

After drinking a cup of tea, the landlady continued: "Later, when I saw him come back from buying vegetables, I understood, he offered it, maybe because of this house, it may not be a home, if he changed jobs, he would have left, and now, with you, it will become a home, and I will definitely buy it." ”

"It's his business. He Shenge replied politely.

In fact, she had some feelings in her heart about the landlady's words.

"That's right, you little two, I won't say, this document, please take a look, if there is no problem, sign the name, the transfer will be completed, water and electricity, you will be your own in the future, if you think the property is very troublesome, you can also call, when I go to the property, I will also help you pay by the way, by the way, this is the official account of the property, power and water outages or something, and they will be notified here in the future." ”

He Shenge looked at the contract and found that this suite cost more than two million, and she asked the landlord again with some uncertainty: "Is Gu Lance paying the balance at one time?"

"That's right, the down payment of 200,000 yuan, the next four years, the final payment of more than 1 million yuan will be paid at one time. ”

"Hmm. ”

The landlady's fat face smiled: "For Mr. Gu, this is not a problem, I can't compare to Mr. Gu, doesn't his family have two buildings? Born and raised in Guangzhou, who doesn't have a few buildings? Are you about to get married? Otherwise, why would he suddenly buy a house and a car?"

Hearing this, He Shenge was a little stunned.

After sending off the landlady, He Shenge returned to the kitchen, thinking about it while cutting bitter melon.

Yuan Yunshu also once said that her family had an economic crisis, and Gu Lance helped settle it, which shows that there is no shortage of rich people around him, Hong Kong's cousin, words and deeds seem to be beautiful to everyone, and when Gu Lance faced Shen Xiuyan, that kind of demeanor that did not distinguish between top and bottom, she thought it was just Gu Lance who was well-informed.

By the way, when he does this business, he must also go everywhere, that is, he is similar to Second Uncle Shen, and he is not a bad money master at all.

If that's the case, then Gu Lance and Shen Xiuyan are both rich second generations, and she is just an ordinary person.

The stinging sensation of a kitchen knife cutting through the flesh interrupted her deep thought.

She immediately put down the kitchen knife, looked at the wound, it was not deep, put a band-aid on it at random, and sat on the sofa a little blankly.

The words that Shen Xiuyan's mother had said to her echoed in her mind.

This experience is a bit bloody, and it did happen to her.

At that time, she was supposed to go to the train station, go back to Shantou with Shen Xiuyan, and get married with a household registration book, but on the way to the train station, the bus she was taking suddenly stopped because of its old age, and she was hit by the truck behind.

She crawled out of the broken bus covered in blood and rushed to the train station without caring at all, and the taxi driver saw her covered in blood and refused to take her to the train station, and everyone was trying to persuade her to go to the hospital.

But with only Shen Xiuyan in her mind, she didn't think of it that much at all, what she was afraid of was losing this person.

Unexpectedly, she ran for a while, and it was Shen Xiuyan's mother who appeared and told her that Shen Xiuyan had boarded a plane to the United States.

She didn't believe it, Shen Xiuyan's mother sent her to the train station.

After searching the entire train station, she couldn't find Shen Xiuyan, she squatted there and kept crying, Shen Xiuyan's mother wiped the blood on her face with a handkerchief, and said to her: "He is just your youth, you are a smart child, you should understand that your position is different from Ah Yan, although there is no hierarchy in this society, but often, many places are unfair from the beginning." ”

Later, she looked at the excellent Shen Xiuyan on the TV, and became more and more aware of the distance between them, she chose Gu Lance, because she thought that Gu Lance and herself were in the same world, at least they got along, and there was no sense of huge gap.

Now, she is mired in contemplation and contradictions.

The manic ringtone savagely cut off her contradictory thoughts.

Her chest was stuffy, and her voice was muffled when she answered the phone: "Mom, what's the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, there was the choked sound of He Mu's crying.

He Shenge came back to his senses all of a sudden, and his nerves were pinched: "What's going on at home?"

The phone was so fragmented that it seemed to have been passed to another person.

"Gege, I'm my cousin. ”

"Well, what's wrong?" He Shenge became nervous all over.

"Your dad had his hand cut off by the machine and is in surgery, so if you're okay, come back. ”
