25 The wind is rising

Manager Lu looked up with an embarrassed face, looked at Peng Ju and said, "This, this is our boss..... Big boss...."

Everyone present was completely silent, and a few local businessmen seemed to recognize Qiao Mu, and they all put down their wine glasses, went to the toilet at this stall, and called on the phone, until Peng Ju squinted his eyes and said: "You are Chen Mai's son?" ”

Qiao Mu gently raised his lips: "Yes, Uncle Peng, you noble people are forgetful, I saw you at the Xu family's family banquet during the Dragon Boat Festival last year." ”

Peng Ju frowned, as if he couldn't remember.

Qiao Mu added: "Secretary Zhao, you always recognize..."

Peng Ju suddenly said "oh" for a long time at this moment, and suddenly showed a very warm smile, and while stretching out his hand to shake Qiao Mu's hand, he said to the people present: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" This is my nephew, nephew..."

"I only know that Mai Group is a leader in the construction industry, don't you want to get involved in the catering industry?" Peng Jufu turned his head to look at Qiao Mu again.

Qiao Mu's expression was very indifferent but decent, he shook Peng Ju's hand lightly, and said, "My sister came to eat once when she returned to China, and she said she liked it, so she bought it." ”

Ouyang Lai, who was on the side, couldn't help but look sideways when he heard this...

This guy has a sister...

She muttered to herself.

..........

"I heard that Secretary Zhao likes your sister who goes to school in the United States very much, and said that there is a chance to marry your Chen family..."Peng Ju continued to greet him.

Qiao Mu said with a smile: "Don't dare to climb high." ”

At this moment, those who had left the table under the pretext saw that the atmosphere had eased again, so they came back one after another, and all of them stepped forward to talk to Qiao Mu through Peng Ju's mouth.

Because Ouyang Lai had been standing beside him and didn't speak, he was squeezed out of the way by the three or five people who suddenly rushed over.

Seeing that she was pushed to the window, Qiao Mu suddenly crossed over to the person he was talking to and grabbed Ouyang Lai's hand, and whispered, "Get closer to me." ”

Ouyang Lai didn't know what medicine he had taken, he just nodded, very well-behaved.

Seeing this move, Peng Ju took two steps back sideways: "I didn't expect that reporter Ouyang also knew Mr. Chen..."

Ouyang Lai knew what Peng Ju said, he must have thought that he was also in a certain wine bureau, and he knew Qiao Mu as if he had met him.

"I'm a fan of her books." Qiao Mu suddenly spoke.

"Since 2007." He added.

Peng Ju didn't seem to expect it, his expression was stunned for a moment, and he looked at the Ouyang reporter he knew at the wine bureau again, and was stunned for a while before beckoning the two to sit down again.

Ouyang Lai originally wanted to refuse, but he didn't think about Qiao Mu but he was calm.

He took her hand and sat back where Ouyang Lai had left half an hour ago.

In this wine game, Ouyang Lai seems to have lost his previous feelings.

Qiao Mu generously talked to everyone present about Ouyang Lai's works in books and magazines, and did not shy away from showing his appreciation for Ouyang Lai's talent.

Yes, there have been a lot of people at the drinking party who have praised it before.

But Qiao Mu was different, he saw the real Ouyang Lai, and saw the real, kind, weak and helpless her.

From that moment on, Ouyang Lai felt that the wine game that she originally hated and couldn't get rid of suddenly became the light of her life.

Oh, no, it's the arbor, it's this uncertain man who has become the light of his own life.

.............

Since Qiao Mu sat down, everyone's attention fell on Qiao Mu again, including the man and woman from other places who were also looking at Qiao Mu involuntarily.

Qiao Mu has a special temperament, like a person who reads poetry and books, goes through thousands of sails, has everything but has no desires.

Confident, easy, and magnificent....

Such an adjective placed on Qiao Mu cannot fully explain him.

Finally, Xi dispersed, and Qiao Mu sent Ouyang Lai home.

Late at night, the driver drove steadily in front, and Qiao Mu and Ouyang Lai sat in the back seat of the car.

Ouyang Lai hesitated for a while before he spoke, "Thank you today." ”

Qiao Mu squinted his eyes and seemed to be resting: "I didn't drink today...."

Ouyang Lai blamed himself a little: "I'm sorry...."

Qiao Mu stretched out his hand and pressed his temple: "I don't remember if I drank cephalosporin in the morning...."

Ouyang Lai was stunned, and his whole body stood up: "You can't drink alcohol after drinking cephalosporin!" Chen Qiaomu, don't be kidding! ”

Qiao Mu opened one eye and looked at her: "Why are you so nervous about me?" ”

Ouyang Lai was stunned again, looked away weakly, and leaned back on the backrest: "Lie to me!" ”

Qiao Mufu closed his eyes again: "When will you pay me back?" ”

Ouyang Lai's body stagnated, and there was a panic in his heart.

Also, you owe money to others and you have to pay it back, otherwise something will happen....

"I..."

"Forget it, you don't have to pay it back, you can pay for it," Qiao Mu said again.

Ouyang Lai finally couldn't help it, and his face sank: "Chen Qiaomu, you are not that kind of person!" ”

Qiao Mu squinted his eyes and raised his lips and smiled: "How do you know that I'm not, haven't you always thought I'm obscene?" ”

Ouyang Lai was stunned again, and then unnaturally grasped the armrest of the car door with his left hand.

Qiao Mu opened his eyes again and said with a smile: "I'm scared again...."

Ouyang Lai was angry: "Can you stop teasing me, is it fun to tease me?" ”

Qiao Mu sat up: "It's fun." ”

.......

The air inside the car smelled of fresh wood.

The two people looked at each other, one exhaled, the other inhaled, quiet and ambiguous.

........

"That's... I owe you money....."

"No need to return ....."

"Chen Qiaomu! Don't make jokes! ”

"I really don't have to pay it back" Qiao Mu pouted a little aggrievedly: "I mean you help my mother write an interview, and then post a few platforms, won't it be offset?" ”

Ouyang Lai always habitually pursed his lips when he thought about things: "Then it doesn't take 20,000..."

Qiao Mu looked at her: "My mother is an extremely pompous person, she has long wanted to make herself an older idol, don't worry, it will not be enough, there will be no more..."

Ouyang Lai raised his eyelids: "If you do the overall planning, 20,000 is definitely not enough!" ”

Qiao Mu raised an eyebrow on one side: "Found a business opportunity?" ”

Ouyang Lai turned his face away, hid his smile, and pretended to be cold: "No, how can I have those time!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the driver suddenly made a sharp turn, and Ouyang Lai hit Chen Qiaomu with his whole person, half lying on Qiao Mu's side shoulder.

Qiao Mu reached out to protect her waist, and when he lowered his head, his jawline gently rubbed against Ouyang Lai's nose.

Ouyang Lai shrank vigilantly, and was about to get up, but was firmly controlled by Qiao Mu.

"Don't move like that."

"Little friend."
