Chapter 712: Revisiting the Old Place
London is rainy and is always criticized for its weather.
"It's almost May. I love the weather in London in May. β
Qu Mo returned to a familiar place, and there was one more person by her side. The two of them walked on the street, unconsciously exchanging their accustomed positions, she walked in front of her, and Zheng Xinfeng walked behind.
"When I was in China, many people would ask me if I had to bring an umbrella when I went out in London, but that was wrong...... Because Londoners don't seem to be very afraid of the rain. β
Qu Mo said and smiled.
"Especially here, look at these people", Qu Mo pointed to the neatly dressed pedestrians passing by the streets of the Financial City, "the conservative British would rather get drenched in the rain than flee in a hurry when it rains for the sake of their gentlemanly image......
Perhaps because he could finally introduce himself to Zheng Xinfeng about the city he had studied, lived, and used to escape, Qu Mo was a little too enthusiastic and nagging, like a private tour guide.
"So, you hid me in the rain in London for a year, and thought about me for a year?" On the streets of a foreign country, Mr. Zheng suddenly wanted to come to a Qiong Yao drama.
ββ¦β¦ Not really. Qu Mo laughed slyly and said, "I'm very busy, I don't have time to think about you." At most, just occasionally flip through your posts on the forum to relieve your fatigue. β
That being said, she still took the initiative to take Secretary Zheng's hand, and while walking, she introduced:
"You see that windowless house, doesn't it look like a fortress? it was the central bank of England, and they called it 'the king of banks'...... Unexpectedly, there are more than 500 banks from all over the world. β
"That, built like a vertical matchbox, is the London Stock Exchange. And there, there's the London Futures and Options Exchange. β
"If tonight, Jiang Che doesn't change his mind. The London Metal Exchange is our first battleground. β
"If it weren't for the British government's financial reforms, the threshold for foreign institutions to enter the British market would have been very high, so it would have taken us a lot of time and money to enter the market. β
"It's much better now, and because I used to work in a local investment bank, I still know some people......
Qu Mo took Zheng Xinfeng to visit the City of London, like visiting Disney, talking about the amusement facilities she had sitinted.
It was in her chattering with such enthusiasm that Zheng Xinfeng finally realized what a powerful woman he had married.
At dinner time, Qu Mo took him to a great French restaurant nearby.
"It tastes good, but it's too slow to serve, and it's only that little every time. Zheng Xinfeng ate happily, and when he went out, he said negligently: "Is this the restaurant you used to come to?"
Qu Mo stopped, turned his head and looked at him complainingly, "What do you say?"
The year before, she was so poor that she was trying to save money.
Zheng Xinfeng was ashamed and explained, "I mean, I want to go to the restaurant you used to go to once before, is that okay?"
ββ¦β¦ Are you sure you want to go?" Qu Mo asked seriously with hesitation.
"Of course. Zheng Xinfeng was a little dazed because of this, but still nodded.
"Then you come with me. β
Qu Mo took his hand and walked through two short streets.
They had been standing in the shade of a tree for a while.
There is no restaurant around, only on the other side of the street, there is a bakery with clear glass and delicate small cakes in the window.
"So, you don't eat bread every day, do you?" asked Zheng Xinfeng.
"Pretty much. Qu Mo said.
"So, let's go now?"
"Don't worry, just wait here. Qu Mo raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "Just wait a little longer." It's a pity I forgot to put on my hat today......"
Zheng Xinfeng waited with her blankly.
About ten minutes later, two uniformed clerks came out of the bakery, walked to the door of the store, and lightly placed seven or eight bulging plastic bags on the ground against the side wall.
"Hurry up, or we won't have our share. β
Qu Mo pulled Zheng Xinfeng and walked quickly across the street.
Zheng Xinfeng realized that there seemed to be a few people walking towards the same goal with them. They weren't dressed in tatters, they didn't look like vagabonds at all, and they didn't walk in a hurry.
Until Qu Mo picked up one of the plastic bags from the corner of the wall...... Zheng Xinfeng finally understood where the restaurant Qu Mo frequented that year was.
A delicate female white-collar worker working at an investment bank in the City of London, putting on a hat after work, stands on the street, waiting to pick up the bread discarded by the bakery.
Nobody knows.
"Won't it be expired?" Turning the corner with a plastic bag, Secretary Zheng finally couldn't help but ask.
"It's about to expire. Qu Mo corrected him and said, "And even if it expires a little bit, it doesn't matter, go back and put it in the refrigerator, you can eat it for at least two days." β
She said as she pulled out a loaf of bread from the plastic bag and said, "Look, it's okay, right? This bakery always takes out bread that is about to expire and puts it in the corner for those who need it." The clerk neither looked nor asked. β
"And his bread actually tastes good, would you like to try it?"
Qu Mo said very easily, picked up the bread and took a bite, chewing it with memories, and at the same time took out another one from the bag and handed it to Zheng Xinfeng.
Zheng Xinfeng took it, took a big bite hard, put it in his mouth and chewed hard, and said vaguely at the same time: "Call you stubborn, call you stubborn...... Fuck you. β
Mr. Zheng was distressed.
During that time, he tried to outline Qu Mo's life alone, and imagined how difficult she was, but now it seems that there is still a deviation.
Because he couldn't imagine that the high-spirited lady who used to stand next to the red Mercedes-Benz could be stubborn to this extent, and she could bear such a big gap until she paid off the family's debts, and then returned to China to find him......
Surrender to him, after she first completed her unyielding to life.
"Where do you live?"
"East End. β
The two of them took a taxi to the place where Qu Mo had rented. The streets are narrow, the houses are dense, pedestrians are in a hurry, and even young people in fancy clothes and whizzing in cars and drunks passing by from time to time.
"Hurry up. Qu Mo reminded Zheng Xinfeng, his steps were hurried, and said, "It's too late here to be safe." β
An old house repaired and rebuilt after World War II, a small three-story building, the architectural style looks quite stylish, but it is dilapidated and aging.
"Look, it's that window. Qu Mo stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the windows on the second floor and said, "It's dark, I haven't turned on the lights, and I don't know if anyone is renting it now." β
She turned her head to look at Zheng Xinfeng and found that he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
So, she coaxed him:
"Well, in fact, every time it rains, I can't sleep, I will stand by the window and think about you for a while...... Tell you, don't worry, wait a little longer, I'll be back soon, so I'll come and give you a soft face.
At that time, I was always afraid that you would give up. β
"I'm so annoyed that you're so stubborn. β
Zheng Xinfeng muttered, took the person over, and kissed her on the forehead.
"You like it. β
Qu Mo muttered in response in his arms, then looked up.
This situation is reasonable and legal, and I want to kiss it......
βAοΌOοΌAοΌFuckβ¦β¦ More deepοΌMore fastβ¦β¦β
Both of them froze for a moment, then turned their heads in unison.
The location where the voice came from was the room where Qu Mo said, where she lived...... The one next door.
Qu Mo blushed and said embarrassedly, "Well, it seems that the pair of black people haven't moved away yet." β
"So, you used to listen to this every night...... No wonder you say you can't sleep. Zheng Xinfeng still looked at the window with his eyes, and said leisurely: "You also have a big heart, and you are not afraid of the collapse of the building." β
ββ¦β¦ How can it be. Qu Mo couldn't cry or laugh, and reached out to pinch him.
Zheng Xinfeng didn't hide, and said, "Anyway, how much does this house cost?"
"Well, I don't know much about the current market, maybe 7 or 80,000 pounds. β
"Oh, it's so expensive?! Zheng Xinfeng said: "That's it, let's ask another day to see if the owner is willing to sell, if he is, let's buy it." β
"Huh?" Qu Mo was a little anxious, "Why are you doing, it's not cost-effective to invest in this...... Even if you want to live in it, those people in the house have leases, and we can't kick them out if we buy them. β
"If you don't rush, whoever says you're going to rush, I'll let them live. Zheng Xinfeng said: "It's too much of a bully...... Let's kill them too. β
