Text Text_Chapter 422
Chen Li didn't know what kind of demon moths were going to make trouble in the hospital, so he didn't let the driver drive him and Tang Xiao to the airport to pick up people, and he accompanied Sun Hairong and Hua Jinshi to drink a lot of wine at night and couldn't drive, but fortunately, although Shuguang Hospital is located on the edge of Huaihai Road, it is also a prosperous area, and there are many taxis parked there to pick up passengers at the gate of the hospital, Chen Li and Tang Xiao got into a taxi and rushed to the airport.
At the end of August, the weather in Pujiang was still very hot, but it rained for a while at night, and the rain had long been extinguished in the high-rise buildings, leaving only a little wetness, which could not stop the footsteps of pedestrians, nor did it bring much coolness.
The taxi driver who drove to the viaduct from the city street, looked at the young man and woman in the back seat from the rearview mirror, they were all rare handsome and beautiful, they should be a couple, but the atmosphere was a little cold, they looked out the car window, and it seemed that life had encountered a lot of difficulties recently, which made the driver who spent a day bored suddenly have a little more freshness.
He is a local, although he has a Pujiang hukou that these young people wandering in the dream city envy, but he does not have the blessings to enjoy.
Busy with school, children, family trivialities, and this subsistence car, is the whole of his life, the only hope is that the small house of more than 30 square meters left by his mother in the alley is barely used to maintain dignity in Pujiang, where every inch of land is valuable.
He heard Chen Li and Tang Xiao whispering in dialect when they first got into the car, and vaguely heard that the two were rushing to the airport to pick up the girl's parents, and thought to himself, this should be a pair of lovers who have entered the stage of talking about marriage, and picking up the woman's parents may be to discuss the upcoming wedding.
Yes, starting a family in Pujiang and buying a husband house that can't fit two beds will cost five or six hundred thousand, for young people who have just joined the work, how can they not feel the huge burden of life?
"Master, I'm sorry for you, can you be a little faster, the person we want to pick up should get off the plane." Tang Xiao saw that it was already nine o'clock, worried that her parents had already gotten off the plane, but she forgot to turn on her mobile phone, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and at the same time she was worried that it was not appropriate to leave Ye Qianyun and them in the hospital to deal with the problem, after all, Ye Qianyun ran into this kind of thing today just to send her to the airport, so she thought that after receiving her parents, she would rush back to the hospital together.
"Zhou Bin and others are in the hospital, don't worry, and Mr. Tang will call you when they get off the plane. Chen Li said.
Tang Xiao looked at Chen Li's usual temper, nodded slightly, and put the phone away.
After graduating from school, she wanted to be independent, and after several years of tempering in the workplace, even if she suddenly encountered something like today, she didn't have too much panic in her heart, and almost forgot the feeling of finding someone to rely on and comfort.
"I heard you've changed your ...... again Company?" Tang Xiao tried his best to twist the wording that was about to be exported.
"Huh?"
Chen Li was puzzled for a while when he heard Tang Xiao suddenly ask, and then he realized that it was most likely that snarky Qian Li, and he didn't know what he said in front of Tang Xiao and made her have any misunderstanding.
"No, I'm still fooling around with the previous company. Chen Li pretended to be confused and said.
Tang Xiao bowed slightly, pursed his lips and lowered his head to fiddle with the strap on the handbag, not knowing what to ask.
The engine roar of the driver stepping on the accelerator echoed in the car, and at this time Zhou Bin called.
The police from the Huaihai Middle Road Police Station rushed to the vicinity of the parking lot of Yihua Group and found more than one surveillance camera, which filmed the situation at the time of the car accident.
Zhou Bin and they are still in the hospital, but the police on duty confirmed that the injured people and several middle-aged women who rushed to the hospital to make trouble stayed there for a long time before the car accident, and they also touched a car before Ye Qianyun and made a sum of money.
Now the police are contacting the owner of the car who was previously falsely accused, and the two cases will be handled together.
And on their side, they will also hand over the matter to the people from the insurance company to deal with it, and they will be able to get out of the hospital after a while, so that Chen Li and Tang Xiao don't have to worry about this matter anymore, just arrange Tang Xiao and her parents.
At this time, the taxi stopped, and Chen Li noticed that they had arrived at the airport, and subconsciously took out his wallet, only to find that he didn't have his wallet with him at all.
"Thank you, master, for your please. Tang Xiao took out the fare and handed it to the driver.
Tang Xiao pushed the car door and got out of the car, the traffic in and out of the airport gate was crowded, and at this time, the continuous rain had a tendency to be more dense, and a gust of wind blew, Tang Xiao was wearing a long skirt, and the skirt was rolled up, revealing a straight and snow-white calf.
Tang Xiao was holding a bag in his hand, an umbrella in his arm, and he was putting his mobile phone and wallet into the bag, and in a panic, Chen Li bent over and helped Tang Xiao press the hem of his skirt, and then went around to Tang Xiao's left side to help her block the wind and rain.
Tang Xiao hurriedly opened the umbrella and asked Chen Li to hide in, listening to Chen Li's call from Zhou Bin, she called Ye Qianyun again, and after confirming that the hospital was fine, she walked to the pick-up hall with confidence.
Chen Li also occasionally picks people up, but the assistant arranges the itinerary, so when he walks into the pick-up hall, he is somewhat dazzled, but Tang Xiao accurately found the exit of the flight her parents took, and saw a lot of outpouring from a distance, presumably because the plane had landed, and Chen Li rushed over.
"Hey...... Chen Li, why are you here?"
Tang Xiao was still looking inside to search for her parents, but she didn't notice that the person she almost bumped into Chen Li turned out to be her and Chen Li's classmates Zhang Xiaotian and Qi Rui.
Tang Xiaoren was behind Chen Li, she didn't notice that Chen Li was pulled by Zhang Xiaotian, she didn't stop her feet for a while, her chest hit Chen Li's back directly, she could feel the strong bounce herself, thinking that Chen Li must also feel it, she blushed a little and took a step back.
Chen Li resisted his impulse and did not look back at Tang Xiao.
Zhang Xiaotian didn't expect to meet Chen Li and Tang Xiao here.
"Ah, you also took this plane to Pujiang? What a coincidence, Tang Xiao and her parents also took this plane, you haven't met before?" Chen Li was also surprised to see Zhang Xiaotian and Qi Rui, and at this time, he also saw Tang Xiao and her parents walking out slowly, raising their hands and greeting: "Teacher Tang, we are here!"
Zhang Xiaotian looked back, he didn't know that Tang Jingyi was on the same plane as them, and then looked at the airport where Chen Li and Tang Xiao appeared together, picking up Tang Xiao and her parents, his face subconsciously darkened, first stood aside to make way for other passengers, and waited for Tang Wenwen and Zhang Xiuzhi to come from behind.
Tang Wenwen was also very puzzled when he saw Chen Li and his daughter Tang Xiao together, and glanced at his daughter Tang Xiao suspiciously, before asking Chen Li: "Chen Li, have you also been transferred to work in Pujiang?"
"Yes, the company needs to expand its business, so I was assigned here. ”
Chen Li smiled and took the suitcase in Tang Wenwen's hand, and saw that Tang Jingyi's temples were a little gray, and he couldn't help but think of Zheng Cong's face in his heart, life can completely change a person, although Tang Wenwen and Zheng Cong look very similar, but the difference in temperament created in different environments, it is difficult to associate the high-ranking governor of the Central Plains with the vice principal of Qingquan No. 1 Middle School if he is not deliberately observed.
Tang Xiao's mother Zhang Xiuzhi next to her also looked at Chen Li hesitantly, and didn't say much on the side.
"Teacher Tang, we actually came here on a plane, I didn't even notice it, what a coincidence, you were just behind the plane?" Zhang Xiaotian pulled Qi Rui over to say hello.
Looking at Tang Wenwen's somewhat stiff smile, Chen Li thought to himself that even if Zhang Xiaotian took the first class, it was not the same waiting room at Shangdu Airport, but when Tang Wenwen and them got on the plane, they should be able to see Zhang Xiaotian and them after passing through the first class, and they were probably too lazy to say hello, so they deliberately fell behind when they got off the plane.
Last time Zhang Xiaotian married Qi Rui, he invited Tang Wenwen and Zhang Xiuzhi, and Chen Li was also pulled over by his second uncle Chen Biao to drink, and noticed that Tang Wenwen and Zhang Xiuzhi left the table very early.
Zhang Xiaotian and Qi Rui's wedding was full of nouveau riche publicity.
Zheng Cong and Zheng Xingguo, the old man of the Zheng family, came to the door twice before and after, and Tang Wenwen refused to recognize each other, and they should not look down on the impetuousness of Zhang Xiaotian and these people, and deliberately distanced themselves.
Zhang Xiaotian and Qi Rui came to Pujiang this time in addition to negotiating business, but also to play and shop by the way, did not let the business contact party to receive, but booked a hotel in advance, and the hotel also arranged a car to rush to the airport to pick up the airport.
Knowing that Chen Li and the others did not drive over, Zhang Xiaotian took Tang Wenwen's luggage from Chen Li and handed it to the driver sent by the hotel: "It's rare that everyone can meet, let's go to the hotel to stay first, and then find a place to eat and chat." ”
"Teacher Tang, they're tired at this time, why don't we get together another day?" Chen Li glanced at Tang Wen and asked hesitantly.
Qi Rui tugged at Zhang Xiaotian's sleeve behind him, thinking that when they settled down in the hotel, it would be past ten o'clock, and it was too late today, and if they were looking for a place to eat, they didn't know what time they would toss.
Zhang Xiaotian ignored Qi Rui, and smiled with Chen Li and Tang Jingyi: "What are you polite to me? I didn't recognize Teacher Tang and Teacher Zhang on the plane just now, I am already very rude, I have to give me a chance to make up for it, otherwise I will be so guilty that I can't sleep tonight." Besides, there are few taxis at the airport these days, how long do you have to wait in line to wait for the bus? Come with us!"
There are a lot of taxis, but at this time, a large number of passengers in the reception hall are pouring out, and there are almost hundreds of people queuing up there.
Seeing that Zhang Xiuzhi was very curious to look at the Mercedes-Benz business car sent by the hotel to pick up the airport, Tang Jingyi was not too cold, so he asked Zhang Xiaotian to take the suitcase, and everyone got in the car together and drove to the city.
"You didn't do a good job in business, why were you sent to Pujiang? Or did you make a special trip to Pujiang for Tang Xiao, you kid is good enough, the goddess of our class let you chase after you again?" Zhang Xiaotian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and asked inquiringly.
"How can there be? It's really the company's business development needs, so I was transferred to Pujiang for a while. Chen Li glanced at Tang Xiao and said with a smile to Zhang Xiaotian.
Zhang Xiaotian ignored Chen Li's defense, twisted his head and said to Tang Jingyi behind him and Zhang Xiuzhi, who was sitting in the back row with Tang Xiao and Qi Rui: "Teacher Tang, Teacher Zhang, you may not know it, Chen Li and Tang Xiao got on well when they were in high school, they were the golden boy and girl that everyone envied in our class, and later the two of them also applied for the university in Shangdu together." For a while, I heard that they were still breaking up, and many boys in our class thought they had a chance, but they didn't expect the two of them to run to Pujiang and get together again. If we hadn't met at the airport today, our classmates would still be in the dark, thinking that they hadn't gotten back together. ”
Although Tang Xiao didn't mention Chen Li on the phone in advance, seeing that Chen Li came to the airport together tonight, Tang Wenwen and Zhang Xiuzhi naturally thought that Chen Li and his daughter had something to do, but they didn't know that Chen Li and his daughter had been secretly in love since high school, and they had been separated for a while.
To put it mildly, Zhang Xiuzhi is the most satisfied with Zhang Xiaotian, but Zhang Xiaotian and Qi Rui got married first, and then think about Chen Li's young and smart, and his current job looks good, he has fallen in love with his daughter, and he is in Pujiang together, but he is barely a qualified object, but he doesn't know what Chen Li's family background is, the two will start a family in Pujiang in the future, and I don't know how much money his family can come up with, and support the young couple to buy a house in Pujiang.
If Chen Li's family background is average, it will be difficult for the two of them to gain a foothold in Pujiang.
Tang Xiao didn't know where her mother's thinking had gone at all, and when she saw her mother looking at Chen Li with joy and sorrow, she explained with tears and laughter:
"Dad, Mom, why are you still serious? I first came to work here in Pujiang, and I met Chen Li in Pujiang by chance some time ago, and I only occasionally ate one or two meals......
"Gotcha, yes, yes, you're still embarrassed, and we'll treat you as if you're not together. Zhang Xiaotian said with a smile, and diverted the topic from Chen Li to talk about real estate and stocks.
Chen Li can't say that the rise in the stock market during this period of time has made his worth rise by more than four billion, and he can't say that Xu Yuanzhou wants to take five or six billion funds from him to do projects in the secondary securities market, and he just resolutely refused tonight, and he mainly listened to Zhang Xiaotian showing off there when he sat in the car.
Zhang Xiaotian, Cao Lin, Fan Hongwei, and the financial company that later pulled his cousin Chen Cheng into the gang, this year, a total of 50 million yuan has been collected and lent out, and there is an income of 5 or 6 million just by eating the interest rate difference every year. In April and May, he also took 10 million yuan to enter the stock market, and after only three or four months, he has already earned 2 million, which is better than opening a financial company.
Zhang Xiaotian and Qi Rui came over, in addition to playing and shopping, mainly to make an appointment with a well-known trader in the industry to talk about cooperation, thinking about increasing investment in the stock market, and also wanting to see if there is a suitable house in Pujiang, thinking about buying a house, waiting for the child to be born, and going to school directly in Pujiang.
Zhang Xiaotian said to Chen Li:
"Chen Li, I heard that you are doing real estate and other business consulting, the CEO of Xillong Group, are looking for you to consult, you said where there is a suitable house in Pujiang, we are also just starting out, we don't want to rely on the family, in Pujiang to have a house of five or six million, first barely make do with it, and then consider changing to a better house. ”
Hearing Zhang Xiaotian say that buying a house in Pujiang for five or six million was just barely enough, Zhang Xiuzhi's eyes lit up, staring at Chen Li expectantly, and hoping that Chen Li would talk about his plan to buy a house and start a family in Pujiang with his daughter.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you. Chen Li saw that Zhang Xiaotian had such a big tone, and it was estimated that he was stimulated by the boss of Xillong who gave him a Rolls-Royce before, and today it is rare to meet him who wants to raise his face, he can't show off his house in Pujiang, and the yard is so big that he can raise horses.
Zhang Xiaotian said again: "By the way, I made an appointment with a friend who does private equity to have dinner tomorrow, tomorrow is the weekend, you and Tang Xiao should be free, do you want to meet together?"
In the secondary securities market, there are heavier ones than Xu Yuanzhou and Ding Yang, but Chen Li is not interested in meeting, and he was just about to find an excuse to resign, but Zhang Xiuzhi said in the back: "You should go to meet together, the two of you want to have great development in Pujiang, how can you do it without the help of nobles......?"
Seeing that her mother was talking to Chen Li in the tone of telling her son-in-law, Tang Xiao was also quite speechless.
Chen Li simply stopped talking, thinking that he would find an excuse to resign tomorrow.
Because the Mercedes-Benz business car was a car arranged by the hotel, Zhang Xiaotian didn't want the driver to have an opinion, so he asked Tang Xiao where her parents lived in the car, and was going to send them to the hotel to settle down first, and then go to the Hilton Hotel where he and Qi Rui stayed, and then find a place to have supper.
Tang Xiao served as the deputy manager of the marketing planning department of Yihua Group, and the income was not high, nor was it low, but Zhang Xiuzhi was distressed about the money for staying in the hotel before she came over, and said that she would live in the house rented by Tang Xiao and go back for a few days.
"Then stay with us in the Hilton. Zhang Xiaotian saw that Tang Jingyi and Zhang Xiuzhi did not settle in the hotel, so he proposed that they stay at the Hilton Hotel together.
On the one hand, Zhang Xiuzhi thought that Zhang Xiaotian could promote the careers of Chen Li and Tang Xiao, and on the other hand, she also hoped that Chen Li, a "quasi-son-in-law", could help her support her face, so she agreed directly.
Tang Jingyi was unhappy, but he couldn't screw his wife's opinion, so he got out of the car with his suitcase in front of the hotel lobby and went to the front desk to check in.
Zhang Xiaotian went to the front desk to get the reserved room card, and asked the front desk waiter to open another double room.
"I'm sorry, sir, there are more guests today, and there are only a few senior suites left in the hotel, do you need them?" said the front desk lady.
Hilton senior suites, executive suites, and the signs behind the front desk all indicate the house price, four or five thousand yuan a night, and the presidential suite will cost one or two thousand, after reading this, Tang Jingyi shrugged, and said with Chen Li a smile: "Bai Juyi first arrived to take the exam, please take care of the situation, and say that the price of rice in Chang'an is expensive, and the price of living is also easy, but I didn't expect Pujiang to be the real big one......
"It's rare to come to Pujiang, and it is natural to live in the best, and Chen Li is not short of this money!" Zhang Xiaotian said.
Although Tang Xiao's mother also looked at her expectantly, Chen Li didn't have a wallet on him, and he thought about borrowing money from Tang Xiao to take a taxi back later, and said to Tang Xiao: "I don't have a wallet either, why don't your parents go to your place tonight to make up for the night, and I'll arrange a hotel tomorrow?"
"I can open the room together, Mr. Tang and Mr. Zhang are also my teachers. Zhang Xiaotian glanced at Chen Li suspiciously, he wouldn't really think that Chen Li didn't bring a wallet, where could his son-in-law come out to pick up his father-in-law and mother-in-law without a wallet? He would just think that Chen Li was reluctant to pay this money to find such a lame excuse, suspecting that Chen Li might have been in the limelight for a while, and then he was depressed again, so he immediately took out his bank card and asked the waiter to open a top-notch presidential suite.
"No need, let's stay with Tang Xiao tonight, and we will have a chance to eat together again. Tang Wenwen ignored the fact that his wife Zhang Xiuzhi's face had darkened, he didn't want Chen Li to be embarrassed, and resolutely prevented Zhang Xiaotian from opening a room for them, holding a suitcase, and pulling his wife Zhang Xiuzhi out.
"Xiaoxiao's rented house is so small, how can she live in it?" Zhang Xiuzhi complained, reluctant to leave.
Seeing Zhang Xiuzhi's gloomy face, Chen Li was amused in his heart, thinking that if he really fell in love with Tang Xiao, most of her mother would have been sentenced to death at this time, and she didn't pay attention to Zhang Xiaotian, who was watching the show on the side, and helped with the luggage, watching Tang Xiao and Tang Jingyi push Zhang Xiuzhi to walk outside the hotel lobby together......
