Looking at Jin Qiu's eyes full of requests, I was a little shaken, if I just accompanied Xiao Ai to the surrounding cities for a half day on the morning of the wedding, it would not be out of line; Moreover, this wedding is related to the future transformation of the wedding company, which can be said to be very important, so if you don't look at the monk face of Jin Qiu, you should also look at the Buddha face of Lao Jin and Luo Sumei, I finally nodded and said, "I'll try it as much as possible, but I don't guarantee that Xiao Ai will listen to me." ”

Jin Qiu replied with gratitude: "Thank you." ”

"Is there anything else, if not, I really have to go."

Jin Qiu looked at the 20,000 yuan she had just taken out on the table and said to me: "You can take this money, it can be regarded as the company's compensation for you." ”

"First of all, I'm not a member of the company, so there is no difference in cost, and I promised you to give it a try out of our previous relationship, not a work task; In addition, if Xiao Ai knew that I received this money to find her to do this, what would she think of me Jiang Qiao Jin Qiu in the future, the most unpleasant thing about you is that you are too concerned about giving and getting everything. This is really not good, you will be tired after a long time, because people do not live purely for profit after all, there is also family love and friendship"

After I said this to Jin Qiu with a blank face, I got up and left her office, but I couldn't say what it felt like in my heart, because today's Jin Qiu is so different from the Jin Qiu a few years ago. At that time, although she was also smart and even a little strong, she would at least talk to me about her ideals and some small feelings that girls would have, but now we are going farther and farther on the two-way road of life.

Standing under the company's office building, I squinted at the familiar street across from me in the morning sunshine, and then fell into a state of confusion with nowhere to go, until Lao Jin came to my side, and I came back to my senses.

He patted me on the shoulder as before, and asked in a loud voice, "What are you doing here with a sculpture of a pestle?"

I sighed, "It's not time for lunch yet, so I don't know where to go." ”

"You're idle"

I smiled, Lao Jin looked at a restaurant opposite, and said, "Since the girl in Jin Qiu started to take care of the company, I am also idle here, or let's go to the opposite side for a few drinks."

"What time is it?"

"Drink to see the mood, no matter what, let's go." As he spoke, he put his hand on my shoulder and led me across the road, and in my memory, it was true that we hadn't drunk together for a long time, but I really regarded Lao Jin as a good drinker, because we were both uneducated, so no one would think anyone was vulgar when it came to drinking.

The restaurant has not yet officially opened, I asked Lao Jin and I for a few plates of cold dishes and a bottle of white wine and began to drink, although our leisure at the moment is in a sense given by Jin Qiu, but it cannot be said that it is sympathy, because his leisure is happy, and my leisure is really panicking.

Lao Jin drank a glass of wine, and then began to open the conversation, and he asked me: "What have you been busy with lately, has your new job been settled?"

"I'm not going to look for a new job, I'm going to do something small on my own."

Lao Jin shook his head and replied: "Jiangqiao, don't rush to start a business first, you are only 27 years old this year, and you don't have enough experience and connections. Why do you ask you so much, because in this society now, if you want to mix well, you really have to learn to package yourself first, do you think that the people who drive Mercedes-Benz BMWs on the streets are really rich people, tell you, it's all, those people don't know how many loans they owe to the bank, but if they don't drive a Mercedes-Benz BMW, you go out to talk about business, and no one really takes you seriously, so what I mean, do you understand?"

I looked at Lao Jin and nodded, although his expression is always faulty, the logic is not rigorous, but the truth he wants to say is still basically understandable, I took a sip of the wine glass, and said to him with a smile: "No wonder Mercedes-Benz and BMW sell the best in the second-hand car market, and the co-authorship is bought by those people to pretend to be used"

"I've been in the society for so many years, and I've realized such a little essence, which has been generously passed on to you, you kid give me a little serious, these truths are well put in my heart and think about it, don't be in a hurry to do anything, be careful to plant you a big heel"

"Mr. Jin, to be honest with you, I want to give myself a little patience, but I really can't give it"

"How do you say that?"

After a deep groan, I finally replied: "I got along with Chen Yi, although I am really together for love, but the pressure is really great, I have no confidence when I think of facing her parents in the future."

"Yo"

Lao Jin sighed, and then looked at me in surprise, and this reaction was also within my expectations, after all, anyone who knew me and Chen Yi could see what kind of gap existed between us.

Lao Jin drank another glass of liquor, then smacked his lips and said to me: "Jiang Qiao, I have to persuade you even more, strong women and weak men are really not a hurdle that cannot be overcome." I think I just came back from the army, I didn't have any work, and my family was even poorer, but your boss lady is really a flower in a public institution, I fell in love with it at a glance Later, I didn't do anything for half a year, as long as I had time, I went to her house to do dirty work and tired work, and finally made her parents feel that I couldn't do without me, so I would naturally marry your boss wife and talk about your father Jiang Jiyou, I and he are old classmates, and we were soldiers in the army together, Your father really doesn't mean that my old gold looks down on him, not only is he boring, but he is also a good gambler, but didn't your mother still follow such an excellent foreign girl to Nanjing to marry him?"

Suddenly hearing Lao Jin mention my mother and Jiang Jiyou's past, my heart suddenly had mixed feelings, although I can't remember many things today, but the memories brought to me by that textile factory, as well as my mother's smile, still remember deeply

Lao Jin said again: "Jiang Qiao, your mother is really not a simple woman, that textile factory was the largest state-owned unit in this region, she became the workshop director in the first year she entered, if it weren't for Jiang Jiyou's bastard thing to die, no one might have had a better life today than you Jiang Qiao, but I think it's not wrong for your mother to leave, the only pity is that I didn't take you away, I think, she may also have a hard time."

I took a sip from my glass and didn't say anything for a long time, I really hadn't heard anyone talk to me about my mother for a long time, and I didn't know where she was now, and what kind of life she was living. It must not be too bad, otherwise how could I be so ruthlessly forgotten in the city of Nanjing

I finally restrained the emotions in my heart, forced a smile at Lao Jin and said: "Your era is different from now, the most awesome electrical appliances are a flashlight and a black and white TV, everyone is actually living a similar life, it's nothing more than who has the ability to eat a few more meats, I think I really can't have a little luck with the relationship with Chen Yi, so I have too many things to do."

"You kid don't feel tired like this"

"Chen Yi doesn't feel tired, how can I feel tired, it's okay to be tired for the woman I like"

Lao Jin looked at me for a long time and sighed: "You really haven't inherited Jiang Jiyou's stinky problems. ”

"I will never take Jiang Jiyou as a reference in my life. My biggest wish in life is to be a good father, because I don't have a good father myself. I can't let my kids repeat my life today, so it's time for me to fight every level."

This wine with Lao Jin lasted until noon. Lao Jin returned to the company, and I wandered on the street alone, in the middle I received a call from Chen Yi, she asked me to buy some vegetables, and after work in the evening, she would go to Qiao Ye's newly opened hotel with Qin Miao to cook.

Of course I know Chen Yi's intentions, she hopes to be able to bring Qiao Ye and Qin Miao, a veritable husband and wife, together in the name of love, and as one of Qiao Ye's best brothers, I don't think so, so I should deal with this matter.

In fact, if Qiao Ye and Qin Miao don't make trouble, the four of us will really be very relaxed and happy when we cook and eat together, because our two pairs have been old friends for many years, especially Chen Yi and Qin Miao, who have had a deep friendship since their grandparents, so the relationship between the two has been very good since childhood.

Otherwise, if it weren't for such a close relationship, the wedding of Qin Miao and Qiao Ye would not have been handed over to me to manage, and Lao Jin's wedding company only did two high-end weddings, one of which was Mr. Xiao's, and the other was Qin Miao and Qiao Ye's a few years ago.

Because I drank a lot of wine with Lao Jin and ended the call with Chen Yi, I took a taxi to Nanyi, I plan to have a good chat with Xiao Ai about Mr. Xiao's wedding, if she wants, I can accompany her to a nearby city to relax in the morning of Mr. Xiao's wedding.

On the way, I received a call from Yu Ya, and my mood immediately improved, because since she said that she wanted to go back to Nanjing to see if there was any possibility of cooperation between us, I pinned some hopes on her. I imagined that if she could sublet the Mood Coffee Shop to me, it would be the best win-win because she didn't have time to take care of it, and I needed a full-fledged coffee shop to gain experience for myself.

The moment my phone came out of my pocket, I connected it. Sure enough, Yu Ya on the phone said to me: "Jiangqiao, my flight to Nanjing at half past two in the afternoon, I will definitely be able to arrive before 7 o'clock, and we can talk about the coffee shop in the evening, do you have time?"

"This is my top priority now, of course there is just the right time, in the evening, I made an appointment with Chen Yi to go to a hotel opened by a friend to cook and eat by myself, you can also come along, there are more people."

Yu Ya replied with a smile: "Okay, I've always wanted to find a chance to try your cooking skills, right, is there anyone else besides you and Chen Yi who is also a friend in the alley?"

"No, it's a young couple, a hotel that opened on Tulip Road recently, you shouldn't have seen it before."

"Well, we'll get back in touch in the evening."

"Why don't you call me at the airport, and Chen Yi and I will drive to pick you up."

"No need, the section of the road after getting off the airport highway will be jammed to death at night, I'll just take a taxi myself, so I won't have to delay you making dinner."

"Yes, then we'll cook and wait for you."

Yu Ya answered, we each hung up the phone, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief afterwards, because with my understanding of Yu Ya, she has always been a very reliable woman, and this time she rushed back from Lijiang, and most of us can reach a consensus on cooperation, so everything depends on how to talk at night, and then determine the way of cooperation
