Chapter 159: Her Purpose
He Xiao may have never been to this kind of place, and when he saw us take the number plate in line, his brows furrowed. Zhu and I were both poor when we were in school, and our lives were and are all about fireworks. The two of us were surprised by this, and calmly sat down in the queue prepared by the store, discussing how long it would take to eat the hot hemp cake.
It took He Xiao three minutes to figure out what was going on in line for dinner, and then asked me, "What is your number?"
I took out the number plate and looked at it, and said to him, "No. 476, and there are still one hundred and eighty in front." β
"It's going to take two or three hours. He predicted.
"Almost. I nodded.
"It's really addictive, don't you think it's nonsensical to waste two or three hours eating in your current status?" he asked again.
"No, I think it's normal. Looking at him, he said, "Moreover, eating and sleeping are necessities for life, and there is nothing to waste time or waste." β
"How high is your labor cost?" he settled the account for me, "You two are also tens of thousands of people per hour, don't you feel distressed when you wait like this?"
"I don't feel distressed. Zhu Tong shook his head.
He Xiao was still puzzled.
Zhu Tong turned to me and said, "I feel guilty about what he said." β
I couldn't help but smile and said to Zhu Tong: "Don't pay attention to him, he is a cold person, the kind who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world." β
He Xiao ignored the ridicule of the two of us, snatched the number plate in my hand and walked directly to the front of the team, and after a minute, he got a number plate with 298 written on it and walked back, patted me on the hand and said, "The next one is you." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the service staff who called the number in front of him called No. 298. Zhu Tong glanced at him and asked, "How did you do it?"
"Brush it back with your face. I laughed.
He Xiao also smiled: "The method is not heavy, the result is important." β
This is the shortest time I have ever had in line.
Zhu Tong and I ate happily, He Xiao only ate vegetables and drank drinks throughout the whole process, and his eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan shape. When we were ready to leave, he wrung his eyebrows and said, "This drink is very delicious, you can buy a case for me when you go back." β
When I looked, he was holding a canned Arctic Ocean in his hand.
To be honest, this meal made me see He Xiao's boyish side. also clearly realized that He Xiao and we are not from the same world, because he really hasn't eaten on the street.
After I sent Zhu Tong back to his mansion in the International Trade Center, it was half past ten at night when I returned home.
Maybe it's because I ate a little too much spicy, and I couldn't sleep while lying in bed.
After thinking about it, I think He Xiao today is very interesting, and I called Qiao Ji'an early enough to tell her about today's events.
Qiao Ji'an was also very happy, and after laughing enough, he said: "To be honest, the places he took me to are indeed tall, and judging by his performance, eating a meal of thousands of yuan is like eating a canteen." β
We chatted for a while, and when I was about to hang up the phone and go to bed, Qiao Ji'an suddenly said, "Tao Ran, has He Xiao taken a fancy to other girls recently?"
"What's wrong?" I was surprised, but at the same time, I was also happy in my heart, which showed that Qiao Ji'an was interested in He Xiao.
"I heard him call and say that he was sending flowers to others or something, to be honest, I'm not afraid of your jokes, we've been more than two months, and I haven't even received a bouquet of flowers. It turned out that I received a bouquet of money to do it. You say this man ......," she said for a moment, "I'll just admit it, I'm a little bit tempted by him." β
I couldn't help but laugh.
Qiao Ji'an immediately became anxious when he heard me laughing: "Tao Ran, you can't be like this, you are still laughing at me at this time." β
"Nothing, a misunderstanding. I immediately smiled and explained to her seriously, "He Xiao gave me flowers, sunflowers, to celebrate my beginning of a smooth path. As for the bouquet of roses that I gave you, that's my suggestion, and you ask me what you like, and I honestly say that you like money, and then they fold a bunch of roses for you, right?"
Qiao Jian didn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong?" I asked, thinking something was wrong.
"Tao Ran, it turned out that you were giving him advice behind his back, so I was relieved. Giorgio breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't think He Xiao is good. I said.
I didn't hear what she whispered to me, but when I listened carefully, I heard her say: "I still think Gu Yixiao is good, why don't you accept others." β
"I'm not in the same situation as you. I said.
Qiao Jian didn't speak again, and only said after a while: "It's the same, it's not the same." β
I originally wanted to tell her the news that He Xiao was going to propose to her, but when I thought that if I really said it, she would not be so surprised. So, I changed my words to "I take a child, and I think a lot when I face feelings, and you are different." β
Qiao Jian didn't continue the topic, and babbled a few more words about beauty clothes or something, and then hung up the phone.
After such a nonsense conversation, after an hour, I did feel sleepy, and I fell asleep when I lay down. I remember seeing a sentence somewhere, saying what is the role of girlfriends, fart when you are happy, and complain when you are sad.
My relationship with Qiao Jian should be considered best friends.
Early the next morning, I went to the company to deal with the urgent matters, and then drove to the China World Mall. Liu Mingyue and Zhu Tong's wedding was held in Singapore, and at that time, I was hit by enemies on my back, and my career and relationship were at the bottom, so I didn't rush over after receiving the invitation.
Afterwards, Zhu Tong knew about my situation at the time, and blamed me for why I didn't tell him in advance. How could I be embarrassed to talk to him at the time. At that time, the incident was already irreversible. I told him to listen to it, but it only made him more troubled.
Therefore, this time Zhu Tong came, I must make up for the wedding gift given to him.
After a round in the store, I took a fancy to a pair of Hetian jade jade pendants, which are traditional dragon and phoenix pendants, with simple shapes and fine carvings, and are the works of famous masters in China. Globally, it's the only one. The best thing is that this jade is a first-class seed material, delicate and smooth.
He Xiao and Zhu Tong have met smoothly for a week, and the two of them have a tacit understanding, and they don't say a word about Luo Xiaotian's plan to me.
I was indeed a little anxious, and I asked a few times, and both of them were secretive. Later, when I asked in a hurry, He Xiao smiled mysteriously at me and said, "Wait, wait until the right time, we will have a chance." Now Luo Xiaotian is not moving, our plan is not planned. β
When I heard this, my face was full of loss, and I couldn't believe that this was the so-called plan he had planned after calling Zhu Tong over and tossing it for a week.
"What are you waiting for?" I had no choice but to hope for another question.
He Xiao was about to speak, my phone rang, and he motioned for me to answer the phone. I saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so I stood up and connected.
"Hello, Tao Ran. I'm Sheng Qingjin. A familiar female voice came from the other end of the line.
"Sheng Qingjin?" I was surprised, "what are you looking for me to do?"
"I want to talk to you. Sheng Qing Jindao.
I hesitated for a moment, He Xiao made an affirmative gesture to me on the side, I was about to say that I have nothing to talk about with you, but after seeing his gesture, it was changed to: "When." β
Sheng Qingjin said: "At two o'clock this afternoon, I will wait for you in the cafΓ© downstairs of your company. β
I hung up the phone, He Xiao smiled and said, "The opportunity is here, what I said is to wait, just wait for Sheng Qingjin to come to the door." If she doesn't come to you, how can we know her situation, how can we know her situation, how do we know Luo Xiaotian's situation, so you have to cheer up this afternoon to deal with Sheng Qingjin. β
"What do you want to know?" I asked.
"You can just say what she says, and you don't have to deliberately clichΓ©. He Xiao said.
After he finished speaking, he was leaving, but I suddenly thought of a question, stopped him and asked: "By the way, there is one thing you have to tell me, why Sheng Qingjin came to talk to me, what to talk about." β
He Xiao laughed like a fox again: "Because of everything, I did it to make others believe, and you did it." β
I stood up at once: "What have you done?"
"It's to clean up the affairs of the Sheng father and daughter. There are not many, for example, deliberately going to the bottom of the two of them, and sending some things that can't see people to Luo Xiaotian, but it happened that Luo Xiaotian was seen by Sheng Qingjin when he opened the express. β
"Ruthless enough. I nodded to him.
"It's not a drug, isn't it...... Oops!" he screamed before he could finish his sentence.
I threw him a clipboard.
He Xiao covered his head and left my office, and before leaving, he said, "Play well in the afternoon, I am optimistic about you." β
Suddenly, I realized that he had so many words, and he used to cherish words like gold.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, I saw Sheng Qingjin in the cafΓ© downstairs, she didn't come alone, there was a nanny holding the child next to her.
I calculated how long it had been since she gave birth, and the baby was ten months old.
She saw me, told the nanny a few words, and told her to wait for her at the table next to her.
"What do you drink? plain water or coffee?" I asked.
I asked this because I was worried that she was still breastfeeding. People who have been mothers can't help but care a little more when they see their children.
She didn't mind and said, "American." β
I ordered two glasses of American, pushed one of them in front of her, and said frankly: "If you have anything to do with me, you might as well say it directly, I will definitely not be friends with you, there is no need to talk to each other." β
"Tao Ran, make a price, how can you let me go?" Sheng Qingjin put his hands on his knees, and although he put on makeup on his face, he couldn't hide the tiredness on his face.
"When did I not let you go?" I asked.
"Impossible, if it's not you, then who!" Sheng Qingjin became excited.
"What do you think I've done to you?" I asked again.
Her excitement was expected by me, not pushed to a certain extent, she would not come to me personally.
