Chapter 58: The City

One more

Ruan Wan went to the equestrian club on the third day after arriving at Qiao's house.

Unlike the heat of the previous days, this day was relatively cool, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was likely to rain. However, the rain in the north always comes and goes quickly, and the summer rain always makes people feel good, so the three of them went out in the morning smoothly.

Ruan Wan didn't expect to go to that kind of occasion before she came, so naturally she didn't prepare any riding clothes, but fortunately, Qiao Yiqiao didn't deliberately prepare these things, first, they just went to play, and it was completely okay to wear casual clothes; Second, these things are usually prepared in the club for guests to change.

Because of Qiao Yi's face, the owner of the club took the initiative to greet the three of them when they arrived. This person's surname is Zhou Minglong, and his family is in business. Ruan Wan has seen this person for the first time in her life, but she has heard of him in her previous life - although Zhou Long's family has no origin, but the family has been doing business in City A for a long time, and they can meet a few friends who drink and meat when they go out for a meal, not to mention the Zhou family, which has been operating in the local area for many years. In addition, the reputation of the Zhou family has always been good, and Zhou Long himself is famous for "fighting for righteousness and squandering money", and is very famous for his ancient chivalry, and his popularity is very good, and he has a friendship in black and white.

Therefore, it is not strange that he can have a relationship with the Qiao family.

He was very enthusiastic about the hospitality of the three of them, but it was not the kind of enthusiasm that stammered at first glance, and in one word it was "like a spring breeze".

He and Qiao Yi seemed to be more familiar, and Qiao Xinyuan had a good attitude towards him, as for Ruan Wan, although it was only a few words, she also felt that it was very comfortable to talk to Zhou Long. When I came back to my senses, I felt that a person who could make people let down their guard was really a bit scary, and it was not too convenient to stab me in the back. But then again, there is no inevitable conflict of interest between her and him, or that his attitude towards her is completely based on Qiao Yi and Qiao's wishes, and it is estimated that she doesn't even remember who she is afterwards, she is worried that this is really a bit unfounded, so she was quickly relieved.

The club really had prepared riding clothes, and when other friends came over, Zhou Long asked the club's service staff to take the three of them to change their clothes, and he went to continue to greet the guests.

The men's locker room and the women's locker room are naturally separated, Qiao Yi is alone, looking at his wish to be with the little girl, he is very relieved - he can see that when these two girls get together, the combat effectiveness must be explosive.

Women are decisive and talented in dressing, and although they have never worn it before, Ruan Wan still completed this great cause quickly. She wore a khaki plaid riding suit and black riding boots, which actually fit perfectly, and this kind of clothing has always been extremely figure-showing and makes people look quite heroic. She put it on and looked in the mirror, and she actually had the urge to do it when she got home. Qiao Xinyi wore a set of red and black checkered, which seemed very stylish, especially when she leaned against the door frame with her arms folded, well, Ruan Wan almost couldn't help but take the initiative to take out her wallet and hand it in.

When he went out, Qiao Yi was already waiting. Men's riding clothes are mostly solid colors, for example, Qiao Yi is black on the top and white on the bottom, and the top is tight-fitting double-breasted, outlining a good figure. Even if she is prejudiced against her, such as Ruan Wan, she can't help but want to praise "Good waist, good waist!" ”。

However, because Qiao Xinyi and Ruan Wan were studying, and Qiao Yi was watching them study, the three of them did not wear special anti-fall hats.

Before the three of them walked out of the dressing area, someone greeted them, saying that it was ordered by Mr. Zhou, to take the two little girls to choose two batches of docile horses suitable for novices. Ruan Wan couldn't help but sigh, Qiao Yi didn't say anything when they met, Zhou Long was still able to do this, it was simply unreasonable not to get rich. After that, the horse selection process was very smooth, probably because there would be a lot of novices coming, and there were many horses in the stable for two people to choose from.

After watching it, Ruan Wan chose a little mares, I don't know if it was because of the breed or age, anyway, the body was slightly shorter than other horses, and she felt that it should be easier to get on. Joe chose a group of white gelding stallions, who seemed to be very tall and fit, and had a very affectionate personality, and as soon as he saw someone walk to the compartment, he took the initiative to poke out his big head and then sneezed loudly.

After choosing the horses, Qiao Yi and the horse trainer who was guarding the side took the two of them to touch the horses and feed them some food...... All in all, if you want to ride, you have to contact your feelings first - Ruan Wan suddenly felt that this was a bit weird, why was it so similar to Qinglou's famous saying, was she thinking too much?

Ruan Wanxuan's little mare was very docile, looking at the carrot she was holding in her hand, blinking her big eyes that seemed to be dripping, and lowered her head to eat. Ruan Wan originally subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but as soon as her palm was warm, the carrot was swept away, and she was not bitten. As the saying goes, "once born and twice cooked", so she quickly got started.

Qiao Xinwan was more courageous, but the white horse she chose was a little "naughty", and she was not afraid of life, so she vigorously pierced her head into Qiao's wish, and the latter retreated again and again, laughing non-stop, not to mention how happy she was.

After contacting the relationship, you can finally get on them!

Originally, he should have cultivated his feelings again, but none of the guests who came here had that much time, and there was a horse trainer, so as long as he followed his instructions, there would be no danger under normal circumstances. Not to mention that these horses can also be said to be fun to train, and it is impossible to do anything like throwing people down.

Qiao Xinyuan had experience before, and she got on the horse very easily, and her movements seemed to be very chic, and then she was blamed by Qiao Yi - he disliked her for being too anxious to get on the horse and not stepping on it steadily.

Ruan Wan is in trouble, how can she go up?

She looked at the little mare.

The little mare also tilted his head to look at her.

Both of them blinked at the same time, as if they were both a little overwhelmed.

The horse trainer has demonstrated several times, but Ruan Wan is still a little stage frightened, cough, she is really a little stage frightened about the "live animals". She thinks it's because she has a psychological shadow, when she was a child, someone in the town used to raise cows, and they bought it after milking and boiling it every day, it was real milk, and when she drank it, she could lift a layer of yellow milk skin from it, and she recalled that it was called a fragrance, but unfortunately the cow died...... No, that's not the point, the point is - she's been likable since she was a child, and children, especially pretty children, can't be likable. The family who raised the cattle liked her very much, so they held her to play with the cows, and while playing, they put her on their backs. She was just starting to open the forest, dragging the hair on the cow and refusing to let go, but the family somehow walked away, and the cow walked a few steps forward for some reason, she "stinged" and slipped off the cow's back, and just landed next to a pool of freshly baked cows, and the whole person was dumbfounded.

So, the first impression left on her by riding a bull and a horse was - painful, scary and smelly!

So right now, she's quite hard!

The horse trainer was also helpless: "Come on, come on, I'll help you." "Didn't he say that this little mare was the most docile and the shortest, what was she afraid of?

Ruan Wan got on the horse tremblingly.

The first thing I felt when I went up was-

Ah, the horse's body is so hot.

The second feeling is-

Ah, the field of view has become higher.

The third feeling is-

Sister Ma, please don't move!

It's a pity that when she stands on the ground, she looks like a gentle goddess, and when she gets on the horse, she almost becomes a hunched horse monkey. Qiao Xinyi watched from the side, and laughed out loud, Qiao Yi couldn't help laughing, and coughed again and again, not daring to laugh too wildly, worried that she would smash something in anger.

Ruan Wan, stimulated by this laughter and encouraged by the horse trainer, finally found the correct sitting position, although her body was still a little stiff, and her hands were still a little shaky, but the posture was still bluffing at first glance.

After Qiao Xinwan watched Ruan Wan's liveliness, he began to walk the horse slowly. Ruan Wan could see that she wanted to run wild, but Qiao Yi didn't let her, so she had to do this.

Nguyen Wan couldn't walk a horse, so she was being walked by a horse - the trainer reached out and grabbed the reins of the horse, and took her around the indoor horse farm little by little.

Ruan Wan sat and sat down, and gradually relaxed her heart.

Meanwhile......

Zhou Long welcomed a new guest.

"Yo, isn't this Yan Shao? What wind is blowing you? ”

Zhou Long joked with words, and the young man he called "Yan Shao" smiled and asked, "What?" Can't I come? ”

"Look at what you said, you Yan Shao can come, I can be described as a flourishing here." Zhou Long said with an extremely familiar attitude, "Didn't I say that there was something wrong when I asked you before, why did you suddenly have time again?" ”

Yan Mingxiu smiled slightly: "I'll surprise you." ”

"Really?"

"If you believe it, it's true."

"Then I'd better believe it, so as not to be sad." Zhou Long laughed, and was about to continue to say something, when he saw the deputy standing by the door and gesturing to him, he knew that there was something that the stupid secretary couldn't do.

Yan Mingxiu naturally noticed this, raised his hand and patted Zhou Long's shoulder: "You go and get busy, I'll just go in by myself." ”

"That's okay, anyway, you came a few times when you were decorating before, and you are familiar with everything." Zhou Long didn't say anything polite to him, and walked to the door after casually admonishing him.

Yan Mingxiu looked at Zhou Long's back, slowly collected the smile on his face, and turned around and walked in the direction of the locker room.

Zhou Long walked to the door, and after solving the problem of his female secretary, he heard her muttering in a low voice: "Why did Yan Shao come suddenly, without warning." ”

Zhou Long laughed, noncommittal to his words.

The secretary knew at a glance that the boss knew what he knew, and because the two of them had a kinship that couldn't be beaten - the relatives who couldn't beat were also relatives! So he boldly asked, "Boss, do you know why?" ”

"It's not a matter of a day or two for the Yan family to gain a firm foothold here." Zhou Long lowered his head and tidied up his cuffs, and said in a casual tone, "Mrs. Luo has been using various ways to build relationships with Mrs. Qiao before. ”

Mrs. Luo is Yan Mingxiu's mother.

The secretary of the door cleared the door "oh" about this matter, but he still didn't understand, so he could only ask again: "What does this have to do with Yan Shao's coming here?" ”

"Stupid!" Zhou Long counted a few sentences before saying, "Didn't the eldest son of the Qiao family come over with two Miss Qiao just now?" ”

Two more

The secretary suddenly realized that he had come to chase people on purpose!

Hey?

Wait a minute, Miss Joe?

She hissed: "Yan Shao, this is trying to eat tender grass for the old cow!" ”

Zhou Long was amused by the secretary's words, why did he let this stupid girl be his secretary? Well, probably because her stupidity can always bring out his wisdom and wisdom, and besides, she can always say such things that laugh at death!

"Yan Shao is only in his early twenties." Zhou Long shook his head and said, "And a little girl at this age is the easiest time to be branded in the bottom of her heart." ”

"It's kind of mean." The female secretary commented like this, and then reacted in hindsight, "Huh? Two Miss Joe? In order to hold this job, she deliberately memorized the list of family members of all the important people in the city, and the Qiao family was one of the first lists, so she remembered it very clearly - Qiao Jingwei should only have one daughter!

"It's time for your database to be updated." While waiting, Zhou Long didn't mind stopping with the silly girl and saying a few more words - talking to other people is to make others comfortable, and talking to her is to make yourself comfortable, so why not. He said, "Mrs. Qiao is married for the second time, and the slightly older girl just now is her and her ex-husband's child. ”

"Oh, that's the super pretty little girl!"

Zhou Long nodded, in fact, he was also impressed by the girl's face. In this regard, she is more like Mrs. Qiao than the real Miss Qiao - in his opinion, if Su Fanghua did not have such a good face, she would never have been able to sit in today's position. Don't mention any "spiritual beauty" to him, if a newly widowed woman can't attract people at a glance, who is in the mood to explore her soul!

But he definitely wouldn't say this to the secretary, although she has a tight mouth, she is always verbose and troublesome every time she talks about this kind of "suspected insulting love" topic.

"Yan Shao's target this time should be Miss Qiao, right?" The female secretary asked.

In her and Zhou Long's opinion, since Ruan Wan has already come, she should not leave. Even if you can't be naturalized, at least you will enjoy the treatment of Miss Qiao's family on the bright side, so there is nothing wrong with calling her "Miss Qiao".

"Do you need to ask?" When Zhou Long said this, he chuckled, "That Mrs. Luo's heart is very big, and Miss Qiao can't satisfy her appetite at all." ”

The female secretary showed a disdainful look: "I didn't expect Yan Shao to be still a mother's treasure, she can do whatever her mother tells her to do, she is spineless!" ”

Zhou Long: "......" is not the right point!

He felt that Yan Mingxiu was not so useless, but he didn't have time to talk to the stupid girl anymore, because the guests had already arrived.

In the blink of an eye, he showed a warm smile, like a spring breeze in March, no matter how you look at it, he is a hospitable and good host, and the person who gossiped behind his back just now seems to be not him at all.

The female secretary, who had long been accustomed to the boss's changing face, rolled her eyes, and then greeted her with the same smile, silently reciting in her heart, "All of them are for wages, wages, wages!" But he couldn't help but think, "How is Yan Shao going to hook up with Miss Qiao?" It's really curious!

On the other side, Ruan Wan, who had gradually become accustomed to the immediate vision, finally gradually relaxed, she didn't know that Yan Mingxiu was also here. If she knew, she probably wouldn't have come today.

This is not because of how much she is afraid of Yan Mingxiu or how much she hates Yan Mingxiu-with the Qiao family here, where will the object of resentment get him. It's just that Yan Mingxiu represents her surging black history, the kind that makes people want to cover their faces just by thinking about it, the kind that makes her stuff it into the treasure house of memory and refuses to open it so far...... So she really didn't want to see him.

This kind of bad fate.

And if this kind of evil fate is blunt, it is-

She once stalked Yan Mingxiu to the death.

That's right, die, entangle, rot, fight!

Didn't Ruan Wan join the "Great Robbery Sect" when she was brain-dead, she had to rob everything that Qiao wanted, including her relatives, and naturally her ...... Ahem, suitors!

In fact, Ruan Wan still didn't know what kind of feelings Qiao Xinyuan had for Yan Mingxiu, in short, as soon as she saw Yan Mingxiu pursuing Qiao Xinyi, the whole person was like a chicken blood and began to rush up.

It is said that "women chase men in the veil", she feels that what separates her and Yan Mingxiu is not "sand", but "desert", the kind of Taklamakan kind.

She felt that Yan Mingxiu was very disgusted with herself, in fact, she didn't like him very much, and always felt that he was a fake person. However, as soon as he gets close to Joe's wishes, she will definitely get entangled. Yan Mingxiu obviously hated her, but he couldn't say anything rude or act rude in front of others; She obviously hates Yan Mingxiu too, but she is still entangled.

This process can be described in four words - mutual reciprocity, folding, grinding.

At first, she also thought about letting this guy fall under her pomegranate skirt, and then take him to show off in front of Joe's wish. Well, at first she also had a little affection for him, after all, he was handsome, polite and graceful, and it was too normal for this kind of handsome, polite and golden man to be likable. However, after being stabbed in the back a few times, she completely dispelled this thought.

At the end of the day, they don't call.

However, her behavior should be very "cheap" in the eyes of others, and people are eager to kick her away, and they are also bent on sticking upside down.

No matter how many people think so, only Shen Ziyu is the only one who really says this kind of thing.

She still can't forget the look in his eyes and expression.

Therefore, if she could, she didn't really want to see Shen Ziyu.

However, reality is always a slap in the face.

So......

"Brother Ziyu, why are you here?"

Ruan Wan listened to Qiao's shouts of joy, and almost fell off her horse, and the trainers were frightened by her. She looked sideways, and the young man who came on a black horse not far away was not Shen Ziyu, who else could it be.

Ruan Wan didn't want to see Shen Ziyu, but she had to admit that his sense of smell was really sensitive, and it was quite hard to come here.

Shen Ziyu rode over and stopped beside Qiao's wish horse, and the two of them-

One black horse, one white horse.

It's pretty right.

Ruan Wan felt that she should avoid it with a low sense of storage, so she didn't say hello, but just moved the reins of the horse hard, and the little red horse actually understood her mind very well, turned a big corner slowly, and began to walk to the side.

"Sister, you wait for me! Wow! Brother Ziyu, your face is so dark, who made you angry?! ”

Ruan Wan: "......"

- NaΓ―ve girl, the reason why he is depressed is because you don't understand the amorous feelings. Stop chasing me, get along with whoever you want, goodbye!

Ruan Wan felt that she could really coss a dog-headed military master with a feather fan, so she smiled and walked away thinking so.

Meanwhile......

Zhou Long greeted a real stream of guests today.

This time seems different, though.

Others may not be able to see it, but the female secretary can still see it, because the boss's smile this time seems to be extraordinarily sincere - from the time he answered the phone just now.

She was puzzled for a long time, but decided to ask directly: "Boss, who is coming next?" "Who told her not to be tactful.

"Is it obvious to me?" Zhou Long asked.

"Obviously!" The female secretary replied very honestly, "You just smiled like a weasel who stole a chicken, and now you smile like a husky who has found a little friend." ”

Zhou Long: "......, so he'll always be a beast, right?"

He felt that he had a little itchy hands, yet he didn't hit women.

However, he also had to admit that she was very accurate, and he was indeed waiting for a friend now, waiting for a college roommate and friend who he hadn't seen in a while and had no relationship at all.

"Mr. Zhou!"

"Dick!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you dare not call me dick?! "Qin Tianhao's whole person is not good, if he can choose this birthday thing, he will definitely hold it in his mother's stomach for two years before going out, so that he won't have such an ugly nickname!

Zhou Long laughed.

"Second child" is Qin Tianhao's nickname, because he ranked second in the dormitory that year. As for "Lao Zhou", it is also Zhou Long's nickname, and it is also due to the cracks, he has loved to do some small business in the class since he was in junior high school, and because he was an adult in college, he began to make various investments. The people in the dormitory affectionately called him "Mr. Zhou". College can be said to be an important journey in life, he is lucky, his three roommates are all open-minded and interesting people, the four years of college have been very enjoyable, and several of them have maintained a good relationship to this day.

People have their own aspirations, and now several people are also distributed in all directions.

If you only talk about money, he should be the richest one, no way, he was born well, and he can be the "richest man in the dormitory" without struggle; The third child chose to continue his studies and is now in a foreign country; The fourth child entered the game company, and has been as busy as a dog recently, and it is rare to see each other. As for the second eldest Qin Tianhao, he is free by nature and wanders around all year round. But thanks to this, they still maintain a pure friendship - no matter how good the relationship is, once it is tainted with interests, it will not be pure.

Being able to meet real friends, Zhou Long felt happy as a matter of course.

However, what surprised him was that Qin Tianhao did not come here alone today, he also brought a person. Moreover, Qin Tianhao came a little suddenly, without warning before, and suddenly called to ask where the others were.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm here to ask you for help this time." Qin Tianhao was not ambiguous, and made a request when they met.

Zhou Long cheered up, classmates for so many years, Qin Tianhao had never begged him except for things like "begging to get up in the morning and bring food". Now that he has opened his mouth, of course he has to work hard to do it, so he asks, "What is it?" ”

"I want you to help find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Zhou Long was stunned for a moment and asked, "What person?" ”

Qin Tianhao pushed the young man next to him forward, and said seriously: "My cousin's unmasked dream lover!
