Chapter 77: His Confidence
Qiao Lina's face turned white with fright, and her voice trembled uncontrollably: "Jin, Jin Sheng, why are you here?"
Qiao Jin Sheng sat in the position where the man was sitting just now, casually fiddling with the tableware in his hand, hearing Qiao Lina's words, he raised his eyelids, swept to the coins scattered all over the place, and said in a voice that was not light or heavy: "It seems that the Chen family has been doing well recently, and my aunt brings so much cash when she goes out casually." β
The sound was as if a drumstick was beating on Jolina's heart.
Qiao Lina was so panicked that she was incoherent: "Jin Sheng, you listen to me, I'm ...... No, you're ......."
Qiao Jin Sheng put down the tableware in his hand and slowly stood up, "Auntie, I only ask you one thing, did you make it yourself, or did someone instruct you behind your back?"
Jolina's eyes froze.
Feeling the threat between Qiao Jin Sheng's words, she sounded the alarm bell in her heart, her mouth moved, and said, "Jin Sheng, aunt...... Auntie knows it's wrong, can you look at our ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qiao Jinsheng: "That's your idea?"
It's obviously a question sentence, but it's an affirmative tone.
She saw the temperature in Qiao Jin Sheng's eyes disappear inch by inch, and in just a few seconds, only a cold chill remained. Fei's thin lips opened lightly, and she was angry: "Auntie, do it yourself." β
Miss her and step away.
Jolina was completely panicked and sat on the ground with her legs limp.
Qiao Yi walked over from behind, helped her up, and reminded in a gentle voice: "Miss Qiao, let's stand firm, it's a pity that such expensive clothes are pressed out of the folds." β
Bypassing Jolina, she also left the room.
Jolina leaned against the door in despair, forgetting to pick up all the money on the ground.
With such an expensive dress, she probably wore it for the last time, right?
Qiao Jin Sheng left the room and walked straight to Shi Xia and Jiang Tiantian. The man who was cold and handsome just now changed to a smiling face in the next second: "Have you eaten enough?"
Jiang Tiantian wiped her mouth with a tissue and replied for Shi Xia: "Since you entered that room, she hasn't moved a mouthful." β
The man who didn't plan to sit down sat down on the chair next to Shi Xia when he heard this, and looked at Shi Xia gently and dotingly: "It's still early, let's eat some more." β
Qiao Yi followed behind Qiao Jin Sheng, glanced at Jiang Tiantian, who was sitting opposite the two of them, and left with interest.
Jiang Tiantian looked dazed.
In my heart, I wondered what Qiao Yi's eyes meant.
Shi Xia didn't pay attention to Qiao Yi, and looked at Qiao Lina.
When the waiter noticed Jolina's strangeness, he had already gone over to ask what was going on. She looked at it for a few seconds, then looked back and asked, "What did you tell her?"
Qiao Jinsheng didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "Let her do it herself." β
Shi Xia's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Qiao Lina wanted to hurt her several times, of course she would not intercede for her, but she was Qiao Jinsheng's aunt in the end, and Qiao Jinsheng's action against her would inevitably have an impact on Qiao Jinsheng.
Seeing her thoughts, Qiao Jin Sheng held her hand on the table in a dignified manner: "Don't worry. β
Jiang Tiantian finally understood what Qiao Yi's eyes meant when he wanted to speak and stopped.
Seeing the two of them showing affection as if no one was around, he immediately took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and thought in pieces while posting it to Moments: "Someone slaughtered a dog on the spot, I want to expose you." β
Shi Xia wanted to stop it.
Qiao Jin Sheng didn't care, and Jiang Tian was sweet.
As soon as the news was sent, the circle of friends exploded instantly.
Shao Jingrui replied as soon as possible: Send a location, and I will come over to support now.
A thumbs up on the way.
Fu Wenxi replied to Shao Jingrui: Come to abuse dogs?
Shao Jingrui replied to Fu Wenxi: Have a good kiss with you.
Ruan Jiahuan exclaimed: Hee hee went on a blind date?
The names of the excitement are all mistyped.
Fu Wenxi replied: Listen to his nonsense!
Shao Jingrui followed back: Do you want me to expose the photos of the blind date?
Fu Wenxi: How do you know?
Shao Jingrui: Admit it?
Fu Wenxi felt deeply tricked and didn't reply for a long time.
Ruan Jiahuan saw that he didn't reply, so he directly pulled a few people into a small group, and asked in the group: "Xixi really went on a blind date?" What background does the woman have, what does she look like, let's take a photo for us to comment." β
Fu Wenxi: "......"
Qiao Yi: "......"
Shao Jingrui: "I heard that it is a relative of the family. β
As soon as the words "Yan family" came out, the group immediately fell silent.
Everyone knows that Mayor Jiangcheng was originally Shi Xia's father, and in order to take care of Shi Xia's mood, everyone at the usual party tries not to mention such words as much as possible. I don't know if someone chatted with Shao Jingrui privately, or if he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, ten seconds later, he withdrew the previous message.
Fu Wenxi broke the silence: "It's just an ordinary girl, who works in the Civil Affairs Bureau." β
In order to ease the atmosphere, Jiang Tiantian took Fu Wenxi's words and said: "The Civil Affairs Bureau works well, and it is convenient to get a certificate, so you don't need to ask for leave to make a special trip." β
Ruan Jiahuan said: "How can you do such a ceremonial thing without asking for leave? At least three days have to be taken."
On the way, he hurriedly replied: "The statutory marriage leave is only three days." β
Qiao Yi made a "you are strong" expression.
Fu Wenxi couldn't help but laugh.
Ruan Jiahuan: "Work is more important than getting married. β
Qiao Yi: "You should show us one." β
Ruan Jiahuan: "...... The eldest is not married, how dare I run ahead of him. β
Shao Jingrui: "Obviously you don't want anyone, what's the matter with Boss Guan Qiao?"
Ruan Jiahuan directly threw out a 39-meter-long big knife.
Shi Xia heard that WeChat was so lively, and just wanted to take a look, the mobile phone was taken away by the man next to him and replaced with a pair of chopsticks: "Eat first, and after eating, there is time to play." β
took Shi Xia's mobile phone and replied: "It's all idle, right?"
Everyone: "......"
They all muttered in their hearts, whether this news was sent by Shi Xia or Qiao Jin Sheng.
Shao Jingrui poked Jiang Tiantian privately: "Did Boss Qiao send the words in the group just now with Xiao Xiaxia's mobile phone?"
Jiang Tiantian replied: "Yes." β
Shao Jingrui said: "I don't think it's like Xiao Xia Xia can say it." Knowing that it wasn't Shi Xia who said it, he didn't go to the group to talk anymore, but asked Jiang Tiantian: "What time will you get home?"
Something flashed through Jiang Tiantian's mind, and her heart beat a beat.
Pretending to be calm, he replied: "What are you doing?"
Shao Jingrui came over: "I want to hug you." β
Jiang Tiantian: "Just hug it?"
Shao Jingrui said: "Hug first, then touch, and then do a set of love exercises together." β
Jiang Tiantian hugged her mobile phone, hesitated for a long time and didn't think of the appropriate wording to reply, thought about it for about ten seconds, and replied: "I'll be home in half an hour." β
Put away the phone and get up from the seat: "I have to leave beforehand." β
Shi Xia raised his eyebrows: "Just leave?"
Jiang Tiantian said: "If someone accompanies you, I won't shine here." β
Reach out and pick up the large and small bags that are placed next to you and walk out. After walking a few steps, he turned his head and said with a smile: "In front of the handsome guy Qiao, I won't be broad, you can pay for it yourself after eating." β
Qiao Jin Sheng's head.
Jiang Tiantian wanted to wave her hand, but she had to give up with both hands.
Turned around and walked away.
After Jiang Tiantian left, Shi Xia asked Qiao Jin Sheng: "Are you hungry too?" Why don't we change the table and order a few more dishes?"
She was worried that Qiao Jinsheng would dislike the food they had touched.
Qiao Jin Sheng was silent.
Raised his hand and took the half bowl of rice in front of her, ate it in three or five times, and smiled at her: "Okay, let's go." β
Shixia: "......"
Then he got up and left his seat.
Qiao Jin Sheng went to the front desk to settle the bill, took out the wallet and before he could take out the money, the cashier at the counter said apologetically: "I'm sorry sir, we don't accept cash here." β
Qiao Jin Sheng's hand with the money was stunned.
Shi Xia thought that Qiao Jin Sheng never used electronic payment software, and wanted to help him out of the siege, so he walked in front of him while taking out his mobile phone: "I'll come." β
As he spoke, he asked the waiter: "Can I use Alipay or WeChat payment?"
The cashier just wanted to point to the QR code in front of him, but Qiao Jin Sheng had already reached out and pulled Shi Xia back. There was anger on Junrin's face, his thin lips opened lightly, and he asked in an indifferent voice: "Let me confirm with you again, your store does not accept cash?"
The cashier was stunned.
Intuitively, the man in front of him is not easy to mess with.
His eyes flickered a little, and he asked in a low voice: "Sir, if it is not convenient for you to pay with a QR code, you can also swipe your card." β
Qiao Jin Sheng sneered.
Originally, he really wanted to swipe the card, but the cash was only used for emergency use, and he didn't usually have many opportunities to use cash. But the cashier had to say that, he really wanted to use cash.
In an indifferent tone, he asked, "How much." β
The cashier thought that he had agreed to swipe the card, so he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly typed out a bill, and carefully handed it to Qiao Jinsheng: "Sir, you have spent a total of 596 yuan." β
Qiao Jinsheng unhurriedly took out 600 yuan from his wallet and put it on the counter: "Find money." β
In normal times, he doesn't care about a few dollars, even dozens of dollars, hundreds of dollars, and thousands of dollars, but this time he has to do this.
Doesn't he take cash?
He had to settle the cash and let them make change.
Shixia: "......"
This man deliberately found fault.
However, she remembered that the state had a clear rule that no store could refuse to accept cash for any reason, so she didn't think Qiao Jinsheng was wrong for doing so. didn't squeak, hid behind Qiao Jinsheng, and made it clear that he was looking at the excitement.
The cashier looked embarrassed.
pushed the money to Qiao Jin Sheng's side, "Sir, there are rules in our store, and you really can't accept cash." If it's really inconvenient for you, can you ask this lady to pay the bill first, and then give her the cash?"
Qiao Jinsheng said: "I accompany my girlfriend to dinner and let my girlfriend pay?"
The cashier emphasized: "If you give her cash, isn't it still the meal you invited? β
Shi Xia said: "I don't want it." β
When Qiao Jin Sheng heard this, the corners of his lips involuntarily hooked.
It's a joy that the little things can stand on the same side as him on something, even though they seem to be bullying people together. Even the eyes that looked at the cashier were not so sharp, but he didn't let go of his actions at all: "Hear it? β
Cashier: "......"
The eyes of asking for help looked at Shi Xia.
Shi Xia received the help in her eyes, pretended not to see it, and spread her hands innocently: "I am very poor, and I have to go back to eat soil this month after paying for the meal." β
The cashier's face was full of disbelief.
Look at the clothes on her body, although they are not top brands, they are not affordable for ordinary people, and the woman who enters the door with her is even more famous. The standard of ordering for two people is not low, and the two of them spent six hundred on dinner, how can they be poor?
She thought so, and didn't dare say it.
At this time, someone came to check out, and seeing that he had been waiting for so long, he urged impatiently: "Can you hurry up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he recognized that the person in front of him was Qiao Jin Sheng, and his arrogance immediately lowered.
Wrapping around Qiao Jin Sheng's side, he nodded again, and stretched out his right hand towards Qiao Jin Sheng: "Mr. Qiao, I met you here so coincidentally?"
Qiao Jin Sheng looked sideways.
The man in front of him was not tall and slightly chubby. He remembered as if at a drinking party, he approached him and gave him a business card.
But he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't take his business card with him over there.
Seeing that Qiao Jin Sheng didn't react much, the man muttered in his heart.
He was a small boss and opened a steel company.
Yuansheng has a real estate company, and usually purchases a very large amount of steel. He tried to find a relationship to become Yuansheng's supplier many times, but he didn't succeed, and the only time he came into close contact with Qiao Jinsheng was at a cocktail party held by someone else. At that time, Qiao Jinsheng attended as a special guest, and he inquired about Qiao Jinsheng's itinerary, and it took a lot of twists and turns to get an invitation to the cocktail party, and when he saw Qiao Jinsheng, he wanted to pull some business.
As a result, there were too many people looking for Qiao Jinsheng at that time, so he had time to hand over a business card.
To be able to meet Qiao Jin Sheng in a small restaurant in the mall, he couldn't be more excited. Seeing that Qiao Jin Sheng had no intention of shaking hands with him, he was slightly embarrassed. But thinking of Qiao Jinsheng's identity, he was suddenly relieved.
Qiao Jin Sheng was originally a person who was high on the top, and he couldn't climb high if he usually wanted to. Looking at his expression again, he probably didn't remember him, he reintroduced himself and said: "The contemptible surname is Cao, who does steel wholesale, and last time at Miss Tang's birthday party, I was fortunate to meet Mr. Qiao." β
took out the business card again and handed it to Qiao Jinsheng.
Qiao Jin Sheng took it.
Boss Cao glanced at the cash on the counter, then at the cashier with an embarrassed face, and then thought that the two of them stood in front of the cashier for a while, and probably understood what the situation was. Laughed twice, and took the money back on the counter on his own initiative, "Mr. Qiao, you usually go in and out of big places, you must have never entered this kind of small restaurant to eat, they don't accept cash here." β
He pretended to say to the cashier, "You guys should really change your rules." β
As soon as the cashier saw that they knew each other, and that the fat man was obviously flattering the man in front of him, he immediately felt that the savior had arrived. Busy with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what the two gentlemen mean, I will definitely convey it to our manager." β
Boss Cao said: "That's right, how much money, I'll pay for it." As he spoke, he was about to return the cash he took from the counter to Qiao Jin Sheng.
Qiao Jinsheng didn't appreciate it.
didn't take the money in his hand, but instead stuffed the business card he handed over just now back into his hand, his expression became indifferent, "Boss Cao has a heart, Qiao can afford to eat a certain meal." β
didn't call the cashier to give change, took Shi Xia's hand, and walked outside the restaurant.
Boss Cao was nosy.
waited until Qiao Jin Sheng and Shi Xia disappeared outside the glass door, and the hand he was holding had not been withdrawn.
When he reacted, his whole face turned red with anger.
The cashier was very happy, because the man who didn't seem to be easy to talk in front of her had left, she was full of smiles, and said to the "savior" with great enthusiasm: "Hello sir, the consumption at the table just now is 596 yuan, and your consumption is 143 yuan, a total of 739 yuan." Excuse me, sir, are you WeChat or Alipay?"
Boss Cao, who was ridiculed, rolled his eyes: "Pay your sister!"
slapped the cash counter, took out another 200 yuan in cash, and patted it with the cash left by Qiao Jinsheng just now, and said angrily: "Looking for money!"
Cashier: "......"
When he came out of the restaurant, Shi Xia glanced behind him again.
The door of the room where Qiao Lina entered was closed, and she only cared about talking to Qiao Jinsheng just now, and she didn't know if Qiao Lina had left.
Coming out of the restaurant, Qiao Jinsheng asked, "What are the arrangements for the afternoon?"
A calm look that listens to her.
Shi Xia's eyes lit up: "You will do whatever I arrange?"
Qiao Jinsheng remembered that they said that Fu Wenxi was similar in the group, and the strength of holding her hand increased a little: "If you arrange for me to go on a blind date, I may not agree." β
Shi Xia was amused by him: "I am reluctant to let you be the head of the household for others." β
Qiao Jin Sheng was very satisfied with her words, and the curvature of the corners of his lips was a few points higher.
Shi Xia remembered what happened just now, and began to hug the little girl at the cashier in the restaurant: "You are such a big person, why are you embarrassed to bully other little girls?"
The man's eyes lit up: "Huh?"
Shi Xia said: "The little girl who collects money in the restaurant." β
Qiao Jinsheng said: "Since she has come out to work, she is an adult who can take responsibility for her own behavior." She represents their store in that position, and I'm a consumer, so shouldn't she be able to question their rules? If she feels that her position doesn't deserve this responsibility, she can take the initiative to call their manager. β
Shixia: "......"
What a set of capitalist theories, she actually thinks there is a bit of truth. He muttered, "Then what if I go to work in the hospital in the future, and someone uses your theory to deliberately make things difficult for me?"
Qiao Jinsheng said without thinking: "I will make him regret being born as a human being." β
The tone was firm, with a bit of ruthlessness.
Shi Xia's heart was shocked.
It took a few seconds to calm down, and deliberately teased him: "It's hard for you to do it for others, and it's hard for others to do it for me, isn't this a double standard?"
Qiao Jin Sheng stopped, looked at her eyes fixedly, and said seriously: "I bullied others, and her family or friends can also come to me to vent for her." If they can't, it's because they don't have enough skills to get justice for themselves. I have this ability, and I will not allow anyone to bully my Qiao Jin Sheng's woman. β
Shi Xia was shocked.
Because he has enough confidence to keep her from being bullied.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qiao Jinsheng reached out and rubbed the top of her hair: "Aren't you going to give me a surprise?
Shi Xia pouted: "Are you still going to pick it yourself?"
Qiao Jin Sheng replied: "Can't pick?"
Shi Xia replied very sincerely: "It's okay to pick, but you can't pick too expensive, I'm not interning in the hospital now, my income has been reduced by half, and I can't afford too expensive gifts for you." β
Qiao Jin Sheng smiled.
took out the wallet, took out a card from it, and put it in her hand: "I have a lot of money, and I'm worried that no one will help me spend it." β
Shi Xia instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand, but was clenched by Qiao Jin Sheng.
"Since you agreed to my marriage proposal, you are my Qiao Jin Sheng's wife, is it possible that you still want to have a financial AA system with me after you get married?"
Shi Xia said: "I didn't mean that. β
The man's tone was resolute: "Then accept it, if you feel unsure, let's go home and get the household registration book, and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register the marriage now." β
Shixia: "......"
Shouldn't it be that he is not sure?
Finally I accepted the card.
Qiao Jin Sheng rubbed the top of her hair again: "This is like words." β
Shi Xia pursed his lips and blocked his hand.
Thinking of the "Miss Tang" mentioned by the fat man in the restaurant just now, she didn't seem to have any impression at all, and asked curiously, "Who is Miss Tang?"
Qiao Jin Sheng grabbed her hand, held it in the palm of his hand, and led her to the elevator: "You want to know?"
Shi Xia: "Do you want to sell Guanzi again?"
The first few times she wanted to ask something, the man's condition was to let her kiss him. This time, she thought that Qiao Jinsheng would mention the original naΓ―ve conditions, but she didn't expect Qiao Jinsheng to give the answer directly: "A friend." β
Simple and a little perfunctory.
Shi Xia thought he didn't want to say, so he didn't ask again.
Taking the elevator downstairs, the man turned his head to look at her, who had been silent, and asked with a smile, "Unhappy?"
Shi Xia didn't answer and asked: "Where do you see that I'm unhappy?"
Qiao Jinsheng said: "You don't speak. β
Shi Xia: "...... I call silence golden. Besides, she is not Jiang Tiantian, and without the countless topics in Jiang Tiantian's mind, she can stop talking about live broadcasts for hours.
She didn't talk much.
Qiao Jinsheng explained with a smile: "Her name is Tang Ting, she is Ruan Jiahuan's classmate, and she grew up together. However, a few years ago, the Tang family immigrated abroad, and Tang Ting also went abroad with her, and rarely came back. β
Shi Xia was surprised: "Aren't you and Ruan Jiahuan also classmates?"
Qiao Jin Sheng shook his head and sighed slightly helplessly, "Ruan Jiahuan is indeed about the same age as us, but we didn't grow up in the same school. "He didn't go to a traditional school, but Grandpa Qiao specially asked someone to teach them.
Although the general knowledge is no less than that of ordinary people, there is no diploma certificate issued by traditional schools.
Shi Xia never asked about these.
Shi Xia was five years younger than him, and when Shi Xia entered the school and slowly understood and understood the meaning of learning, he was no longer learning those cultural courses, but how to firmly grasp a company in his hands.
The two walked through the crowd at the mall.
Shi Xia glanced at the pure black suit on Qiao Jin Sheng's body, and remembered that over the years, it seemed that he had never seen a second color of clothes on him.
On a whim, I want to change his clothes.
Pulled him into the Armani suit.
The counter lady greeted her warmly: "Welcome to the Armani counter." β
When the two of them came in, she asked again, "What do you want to buy?"
Shi Xia's eyes swept over a burgundy suit on the model, stretched out his finger to the clothes, and pointed at Qiao Jinsheng: "Take one he can wear and try it." β
Qiao Jinsheng: "......"
