Chapter 154: Old Soil (Second Update)
Shopping is one of Jian Xiuhua's hobbies.
As the leader's wife, Jian Xiuhua's work is quite leisurely, basically belonging to the kind that can be gone or not, and there is time. But having money and leisure does not have all the elements of shopping, and you have to be accompanied by someone.
There's not much fun to be had shopping alone.
Jian Xiuhua has no daughter, and she doesn't have a daughter-in-law for the time being, so she can only ask her girlfriends to accompany her when she goes shopping.
It is by no means simple to be qualified to be the best friend of Minister Xiao's wife.
For example, Rao Yuting.
Rao Yuting sounds like a little girl's name, but in fact she is the mistress of the Fang family.
The brand-new Mercedes-Benz sedan slowly stopped in front of the Victory Building. Xiao Fan drove in person and accompanied his mother to go shopping, which was the first time in the world. Jian Xiuhua was extremely excited, remembering that only when the two brothers were young, did they have such actions. However, at that time, it could not be regarded as Xiao Fan and Xiao Tian accompanying his mother to go shopping, but Jian Xiuhua took the two brothers shopping.
There is an essential difference.
The Victory Building is the main building of Victory City Plaza. With the rapid development of the capital's urban construction, a series of city squares have blossomed in all directions of the capital.
Soon after the completion of Victory Square, it was positioned as a high-end luxury consumption area, and was the favorite place for the capital's noble ladies and rich daughters.
Jian Xiuhua often goes to Victory Square to take a stroll, sometimes to buy something, most of the time to come here for beauty and fitness, and there are many "like-minded" good friends here.
At the main entrance of the Victory Building, two ladies were waiting.
One of them, about forty years old, was tall. He looks dignified and dresses fashionably and decently. Hairstyles, costumes. The matching of jewelry and handbags is very particular, and at first glance it is a pampered lady.
Next to the lady stood a young girl, dressed in a relatively ordinary outfit, a long-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, a bit of Hahan, tall and slender. The facial features are delicate and beautiful, just a little lipstick and eyebrows, which looks very pure. However, if you look closely, you can find that the simple clothes of young girls are all famous brands, and there is a faint look of pride on their beautiful cheeks.
"Yuting. Mei! ”
Jian Xiuhua got out of the Mercedes-Benz and greeted the two with a smile.
"Hey, sister-in-law, did you change the car today?"
The middle-aged lady was slightly surprised.
"Aunt Jane."
The beautiful little girl said hello to Jian Xiuhua with a faint expression.
Jian Xiuhua smiled and said, "Yes." Xiaofan bought a new car, and he is in a good mood today, so he went shopping with me. Xiao Fan. Quick, this is Aunt Rao. This is Xiaomei. ”
Xiao Fan sat in the car and said with a smile: "Aunt Rao is good, Xiaomei." Hello. Aunt Rao, a few of you will go shopping first, I'll go park the car and come over right away. ”
"Yo, this is ...... Xiao Fan? ”
Aunt Rao was obviously unexpected, and her eyes widened.
"yes, it's been a long time."
Jian Xiuhua was a little proud. As the minister's wife, Jian Xiuhua is not the kind of superficial housewife, thinking that her son is very good at driving a Mercedes-Benz. The key is Xiao Fan, who drives a Mercedes-Benz, so it's different.
Xiao Fan never paid attention to these before. Today, I not only drive a Mercedes-Benz car, but also a famous brand, fashionable and elegant, and personable. Jian Xiuhua felt that Bei'er had face.
raised two sons, and finally one can be handled.
"yes, long time no see...... Well, you're still in middle school, right? ”
Rao Yuting said in amazement.
Xiao Yishao is among the children of a wealthy family, which can be described as a "big name", who doesn't know that the eldest grandson of the old Xiao family is a "Taoist"? The two boys of the Xiao family have already become the laughing stock of a wealthy family.
I didn't expect it to appear in this way today.
Xiao Fan nodded politely at Rao Yuting again, and the Mercedes-Benz slowly slid forward.
Looking at the Mercedes-Benz car in the distance, Rao Yuting said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Xiao Fan has changed his temperament?" ”
Jian Xiuhua nodded again and again, her joy was beyond words.
"Come, Yuting, Xiaomei, let's go have a cup of coffee first, Xiaofan will come over after parking the car."
Originally, Jian Xiuhua asked Rao Yuting's mother and daughter to go shopping, and she would drink coffee instead, and Rao Yuting did not object. Grab a cup of coffee, chat for a while, and then it's never too late to go shopping.
The café in Victory Square is beautifully decorated, showing a luxurious atmosphere in a low-key manner, which is very in line with the aesthetic views of high-end people.
Xiao Fan parked the car and came over, and Jian Xiuhua and the three of them had already found a seat.
"Xiao Fan, this way!"
Jian Xiuhua beckoned to her son again and again.
Xiao Fan walked over and said hello to Rao Yuting again.
Rao Yuting smiled and said to the beautiful girl sitting beside her: "Xiaomei, this is Brother Xiao Fan." ”
The most brilliant thing on the beautiful girl's face is a pair of big eyes, which are pitch black, like two shining black gems, extremely smart and expressive. Glancing at Xiao Fan, his expression was indifferent, and he said "hello" lukewarmly, and then there was no follow-up.
Quite arrogant.
And no wonder. As the youngest daughter of the Fang family, Fang Youmei does have the capital and qualifications to be arrogant.
The Fang family is also a well-known wealthy family in the capital, and before the old man Fang left, he had been working in the political and legal system, known as the tumbler and evergreen of the political and legal system. Although he has retired now, he still has a very heavy voice in the political and legal system. Fang Youmei's father, Fang Li, is currently also working in the political and legal system, and his position is not very conspicuous, but his rank is to the deputy department, and the key position he occupies is very important, and he holds great hidden power in his hands.
Rao Yuting herself, unlike ordinary leadership wives, is not the type of husband and child. Serve as the chairman of a national semi-official organization and enjoy the treatment of the bureau. In the industry she is in, if she doesn't say a word, she can at least make a "final decision". The board of directors she chairs issued industry rules that the entire industry must follow.
Counted as a strong woman.
Fang Yumi looks very young, at most seventeen or eighteen years old, maybe not yet. Children of this age are in the rebellious period of adolescence, suspicious of everything in the outside world, and are suspicious of any stranger around them. None are too friendly.
It is estimated that I am a little helpless to accompany my mother out shopping today.
"This kid. What's going on? ”
Xu is Fang Yumei's attitude was too cold, and Rao Yuting was afraid of causing Jian Xiuhua's displeasure. Then he reproached. But still with a smile, it can be seen that Rao Yuting is full of love and even doting on this young girl, and she is reluctant to say a word to her no matter what.
Jian Xiuhua hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, young man, now they all pay attention to their personality, haha...... Oops, I haven't seen her for a few months, and Xiaomei is getting more and more beautiful. Yuting, and you were just a mold when you were young. ”
Rao Yuting sighed: "Sister-in-law." Don't praise her, this child doesn't praise her...... At home, even what her father says can be heard, and what I say is all taken as the wind in her ears. ”
Fang Yumei pursed her lips, didn't tell the difference, took out her mobile phone and played.
Fortunately, at this time, the service lady came over in time to "solve the siege". Smiling, he asked, "Sir, what do you need to drink?" ”
"Green tea."
Xiao Fan replied casually.
"Haode, please sir."
Rao Yuting looked at Xiao Fan and said with a smile: "Xiao Fan." I haven't seen you for ten years, and I've grown into a handsome young man......"
Originally, Rao Yuting wanted to ask if Xiao Fan was still working in the Religious Affairs Bureau, but the words came to her lips and swallowed back. When I was with Jian Xiuhua before. Rao Yuting is also very cautious, and generally does not ask about Xiao Fan and Xiao Tian's situation. So as not to be embarrassed.
Xiao Fan was also looking at Rao Yuting, of course, his eyes were very well concealed. Very subtle. Rao Yuting, the hostess of a family with such an identity and status, is a national industry leader with real power, and she cares very much about rules and decency.
Xiao Fan's subtle eyes made Rao Yuting feel a little good for him.
Rao Yuting's identity is destined to be a high-end person she deals with on weekdays, all of them are calm and heavy, polite, and polite, for this kind of person, Rao Yuting naturally has more recognition.
"Yuting, I won't tell you, I asked you out today because I have something to discuss with you."
Rao Yuting hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, you say." ”
"Hehe, that's the case, we are good sisters, you see, Xiaofan has also reached the age of late marriage and late childbearing stipulated by the organ, you give it to the staff officer, do you have any suitable girls?"
Jian Xiuhua said with a smile.
Rao Yuting also laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, it turns out that you want me to be a matchmaker?" ”
Fang Youmei, who was playing with her mobile phone on the side, pursed her lips again and muttered two words, her voice was inaudible, but Xiao Fan's internal strength was so profound, although Fang Youmei's muttering voice was small, he could hear it clearly.
"Old-fashioned!"
Fang Yumei muttered these two words.
Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile secretly.
What age is this, and you still need someone to introduce you? In Fang Yumei's eyes, it is simply incredible. However, anyway, if she is not introduced to the object, it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect Miss Fang's mobile phone.
Although this kind of thing is extremely old-fashioned in Fang Yumei's eyes, the two mothers are so interested that they don't even go to the street, so they discuss it in full swing.
"Sister-in-law, then you have to tell me first, what conditions do you want?"
Introducing the object to Minister Xiao's child is extraordinary. The negotiation is over, this girl is going to become the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of the old Xiao family.
Jian Xiuhua said with a smile: "There are no specific conditions, just be suitable." For example, you have to be beautiful in appearance, have a better personality, not be too tough, and it doesn't matter if you have family conditions. ”
That being said, the key is that Chairman Rao knows a girl with average family conditions. To be a daughter-in-law to the old Xiao family, of course, it doesn't have to be from a wealthy family of the same weight, and it can't be too far apart. If Xiao Fan is in free love, then ordinary girls may also marry into wealthy families, which is naturally different.
Jian Xiuhua said, and glanced at Fang Yumei.
The implication is that the appearance of the girl's family can be used as a benchmark for beauty.
Rao Yuting was "vigilant".
Could it be that Jian Xiuhua is beating her daughter's "idea"?
Not really.
It's not that the Xiao family is bad, the key is that Xiao Fan's own "career" is a big problem, and he is destined to have no chance to get ahead in his career. (To be continued......)
