20. Chapter XX

Qi Qiangren's dog-like image and the black off-road vehicle behind him made Yaoxiang very surprised, although good cars are everywhere now, such off-road vehicles are rare.

He originally had the same idea as Qin Kun, thinking that it was her relatives or classmates who invited Tan Xixi to come to Windy City to play, but he didn't expect it to be such a glamorous character.

However, Yaoxiang can be Qin Kun's assistant, and he has seen a lot of the world, and his surprise is only a momentary thing, and then he helped Tan Xixi put her small bag that was so small that she could pick it up casually and put it in the car, and took out his mobile phone when Qi Qiang and Tan Xixi were talking, as if he was looking through the information, but in fact, he took two photos of the car and Qi Qiang, as for Qi Qiang's phone number, Tan Xixi gave it to him directly just now, so even if the task is completed after taking the photo, say hello and leave quickly.

Qi Qiang looked at his back a little strangely, and asked Tan Xixi, "Is he the person you brought over, why did he leave again?" ”

Tan Xixi shook his head, and said in his heart that I don't have the style to go out with an assistant.

======

Ou Ren didn't know who he ordered a batch of "stall goods", because he was late for some reason, his company in France couldn't wait, so he entrusted Qi Qiang to help receive the goods.

"Stalls" is a jargon, I don't know if other places are called that, anyway, in the northwest region where Windy City is located, people in the industry put together a lot of broken copper and iron, broken bottles and broken bowls, and put them together on the pound or pile of goods sold "stall goods", which means that it is extremely difficult to find good things in this kind of goods, and most of the final destination is to go to the stall.

When reading, I will also use the local unique accent, the word "stall" is pronounced three times, the word "goods" is pronounced once, and the suffix is a somewhat long tail sound, which is particularly charming.

But of course, Ou Ren didn't buy these things just because the name sounded interesting, Qi Qiang said that he probably bought these goods purely for fun, and wanted to feel the fun of rummaging through a lot of broken copper and iron.

Originally, the good goods would be sent directly to a familiar antique shop on the old street of Windy City, but the other party suddenly changed his mind for some reason, and temporarily changed his mind, saying that he would let Qi Qiang go to a very remote designated place to hand over, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly informed Fang Jiazhen to find Tan Xixi.

Since Tan Xixi saw Qi Qiang, he automatically switched to the second personality mode, and asked unceremoniously at this time, "Who did Ou Ren order the goods from, why is he so untrustworthy!" What has been said can be changed? ”

Qi Qiang was also confused about this, "I don't know either, I only have the contact information of the other party." ”

Tan Xixi couldn't understand this, "Didn't Ou Ren come here to receive you and Fang Jiazhen all the way?" You don't know who he bought from? ”

Qi Qiang explained, "This seller was introduced to him by an old friend of EugΓ¨ne in France, and that person is also said to be a China expert, who has been to China several times and has some old relationships here, so EugΓ¨ne skipped us to contact the seller introduced by his friend directly." ”

Tan Xixi nodded, and suddenly found that the direction of the car did not look like it was going to the urban area of Windy City, "Where are we going?" ”

Qi Qiang, "The location given by the other party is not easy to find, in the place where Xichuan is about to reach the mountains, let's go to Tanjia Village below Xichuan Town first, and stay in Lao Tan's furniture factory for one night, and he will take us over tomorrow." ”

Tan Xixi blinked, "Old Tan's furniture factory? Where did you go last time before your car broke down? ”

Qi Qiang, "Yes, that's it, you should know that you didn't come out of there last time, saying that you have relatives in Tanjia Village." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered and looked Tan Xixi up and down, "It was really your boyfriend who threw you in the middle last time?" His tone was full of disbelief.

Tan Xixi didn't care about this, and immediately straightened his face, "When you get to Tanjia Village, remember to say that I am your assistant!" ”

"Huh?" Qi Qiang was stunned, "Why?" ”

Tan Xixi's face was expressionless, "Because the old Tan you just said is my father." ”

"This-this," Qi Qiang stammered, "I didn't expect this, although you are all surnamed Tan, but I have always thought that this place is Tanjia Village, and there are many families surnamed Tan, and you have relatives over there......"

Tan Xixi interrupted him, "It doesn't matter, my dad and I haven't been in touch for twenty years, and we only met last time because of a trivial matter, and you said that I was an employee hired by Fang Jiazhen in City C, and I was sent here to be your short-term assistant." ”

Qi Qiang swallowed, "Twenty years of no contact? "That's pretty much the same as severing the relationship.

Tan Xixi nodded, "He can't control me, just give him a similar reason to send it over." "I didn't want to talk about my family's private affairs with outsiders, so I closed my eyes and began to lean on my seat to recuperate.

After a while, he closed his eyes again, and said to Qi Qiang in a light tone, "When you go to the place, remember to ask my dad to point out the accurate map of tomorrow's handover, and we will study it first." The depth of water in this line is not to be messed with, but since it is stained, you have to be careful about everything. ”

After instructing Qi Qiang, he twisted his neck again, changed to a more comfortable position, relaxed his whole body, and wanted to sleep so comfortably, she was tired from sitting on the plane for two hours just now, and it was really comfortable to sit next to the boss, and now she had to rest quickly.

"Got it." Qi Qiang subconsciously agreed, and then touched his nose and twisted for a while, thinking that she was here to help me, not to be my boss, why did I have such a low profile!

However, despite thinking so, he naturally reached out and turned off the air conditioner in the car, so as not to catch a cold if the person who was closing his eyes and recuperating accidentally fell asleep.

I don't know what's going on, Qi Qiang feels that this Miss Tan's aura is a little stronger when she sees it once.

The first time I met her on the road from Xichuan to Windy City, she was an ordinary girl who could be seen everywhere, walking on the road alone with a bag on her back, and looking lonely, a little pitiful.

The second time I saw it, it was a little different, Tan Xixi, who took him and Ou Ren to Tongyunxuan, seemed to be a little more mature, his demeanor was confident, and his eyes were sharper than the first time.

This time it was even more different, less than half an hour after receiving someone, Qi Qiang felt that Tan Xixi had just said the opposite, in fact, when he introduced him, he should have said that he was her assistant, and people might feel more like it when they looked at it.

Carpenter Tan was indeed surprised to see his daughter again in a short period of time, and his eyes widened, "You? ”

Wang Fengxi, who was following him, also widened his delicate eyebrows and eyes to the extreme, and then the alarm bell sounded in his heart, thinking that he was really right, this girl has lived in the city for many years and has not come once, just like not knowing that there is a father in the world, but the last time she came to find that her father had good conditions here, she immediately fell in love and wanted to rub oil and water, and came back so soon! This thought is too obvious, but the hateful husband beat himself up for this! Actually, I was right last time!

Stretched out his hand and pulled Tan Carpenter's clothes, aggrieved, "The master-"

Tan Xixi didn't want Wang Fengxi's stepmother to misunderstand her, whether it was for her to harm herself again, or to expose her and let her be taught a lesson by Carpenter Tan, it was very bad to think about either of the two results, so she took the initiative to step forward and explain her intentions, "I am Boss Qi's assistant, and I am here to accompany him on this trip." ”

Carpenter Tan and Wang Fengxi together, "Huh? ”

Qi Qiang stepped forward and explained a few more words, saying that it was a coincidence, Tan Xixi was an employee of his friend Boss Fang (you also know Lao Tan) in the company of City C, and was sent by Boss Fang to be his assistant for a few days, so he came with him, and only on the way did he know that you were still relatives.

Carpenter Tan remembered that when Tan Xixi's second uncle borrowed money from him, he mentioned that Du Yuegui and his daughter were all housekeepers in the city, and he thought to himself, how could this be mixed up in Boss Fang's company?

I can't help but be skeptical.

wanted to call Tan Xixi over alone to ask, but he felt that he was not close to his daughter.

Carpenter Tan often has passing guests staying here, and there are several guest rooms all year round, and the only thing he can do at this time is to quietly let people lead Tan Xixi to the room with the best decoration, which was originally intended to be given to Qi Qiang, and Qi Qiang was replaced with an ordinary one.

Wang Fengxi watched the daughters-in-law of the two helpers prepare dinner in the kitchen, turned around, and found that there was no problem, and the dinner would definitely be served on time, so she couldn't help but go upstairs to find her husband.

When I entered the room, I found that Carpenter Tan was sitting there thoughtfully, rubbing his chin and not knowing what to think, so he thought that he had thought of one place with himself, and suspected that his daughter suddenly appeared again because he had taken a fancy to their family's property, so he boldly stepped forward, "The master, you thought I was suspicious last time, how about now, there must be something wrong with your daughter coming back so soon!" It's not that I'm mean as a stepmother, but it's natural to have money to leave to my son, she is someone else's family when she leaves with her mother, and she is still calculating to divide your property, her face is really big enough! ”

Carpenter Tan was having something in his heart, and he was impatient with his wife's words, raised his hand and slapped him, scolding, "It's itchy skin, isn't it!" Don't chirp here, hurry down and stare at dinner! ”

Wang Fengxi was beaten so much that she almost turned around in a circle, and quickly shrank aside, but she didn't expect the facts to be in front of her, and her husband didn't eat the oil and salt, and she hated it in her heart.

However, she only said a few words before she got a big mouth, and if she continued to say it, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat. Tan Carpenter has seen the face of his two sons in the past few years, and he is not very good at beating her aggressively, and if it doesn't go well, he will give two slaps at most, and the last time the belt was the heaviest in the past two years, Wang Feng didn't dare to sit for a few days, and he had to lie on his stomach when he slew.

Qi Qiang came to Carpenter Tan on the front foot and walked on the back foot, and passed by Wang Fengxi on the stairs, and obviously saw the slap marks on her face. Knowing that women in the countryside here have no status, although they have been slightly better in the past two years, a man like Tan Carpenter who is considered wealthy will definitely not take care of his wife, and he will do it when he should do it, and he doesn't take it too seriously, and he mentioned it to Tan Xixi in passing when he went back, "Your father is very powerful, say it at home, I see that your stepmother has an old and fresh slap print on her face, and it is estimated that she just fanned it." ”

Tan Xixi looked down at the location marked on the map, his face was solemn, "You should come and take a look at this if you have time, I don't think it's quite right." ”
