Chapter 097: Eyes Can Kill
Gao Zheng believed that Wu Qing would not hurt Zhou Yunfang, but he still couldn't help but be a little worried. With Zhou Yunfang's character, Wu Qing doing this will only make her more disgusted.
Time passed minute by minute, and the two of them never came out of the small room, and Gao Zheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
In desperation, Gao Zheng had no choice but to call Su Xiaoyi and tell her about the matter briefly.
Originally, Gao just wanted to surprise Su Xiaoyi, suddenly appeared in front of her, and then confessed to her. The experience of being in the provincial capital these days made Gao Zheng ponder for a long time, and he thought about it a lot, and felt that it was time to confess to Su Xiaoyi.
Wu Qing's hint and Tang Guo's entanglement had already made Gao Zheng a little overwhelmed.
Of course, it's not that he doesn't have confidence in his relationship with Su Xiaoyi. On the contrary, the more insipid the love, the more mellow and delicious it is like old wine.
What Gao Zheng was worried about was that Su Xiaoyi would be influenced by Wu Qing and Tang Guo, and gradually alienated herself, buried this feeling in her heart forever, and rejected people thousands of miles away.
In the past few months with Su Xiaoyi, Gao Zheng has already figured out her character. An introverted girl like her is very traditional and simple about love, but she is also very sensitive and vulnerable, and lacks self-confidence.
At this moment, Su Xiaoyi suddenly heard Gao Zheng's voice, and tears welled up in her eyes at once.
But after hearing Gao Zheng talk about Zhou Yunfang and Wu Qing, Su Xiaoyi immediately held back her tears and hurried to the noodle shop.
This kind and smart girl understood what Gao Zheng meant, and wanted her to persuade Zhou Yunfang not to screw it. This can only be said by Su Xiaoyi, and if it is someone else, it will only arouse Zhou Yunfang's anger even more.
Jiang Longzang and Gan Chusheng also followed Su Xiaoyi, and the two of them were also worried that Zhou Yunfang and Wu Qing would make a mess out of control, so that Gao Xia couldn't suppress the scene.
As soon as "Gao Zheng ......" entered the door, Su Xiaoyi threw herself into Gao Zheng's arms with tears in her eyes and cried loudly. I can't tell if I'm excited or wronged, I just want to cry anyway.
At this moment, she forgot everything, and only Gao Zheng had nothing in her eyes.
Jiang Longzang and Gan Chusheng on the side looked a little embarrassed, and at the same time looked at the small room behind the counter, and immediately frowned. I could hear the voices inside, as if they were arguing about something, and it was quite intense.
However, neither of them sensed the fluctuation of energy in the small room, which showed that even if Zhou Yunfang and Wu Qing really broke up, it was just a quarrel, and it was not to the point of doing anything on the ground.
Su Xiaoyi felt the warmth in Gao Zheng's arms, her heart was much more steady, and after wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she raised her head and stared at Gao Zheng affectionately.
After a long time, she remembered that Zhou Yunfang and Wu Qing were still in the small room and didn't come out, so she said in a deep voice: "I'll go in and see them, but don't make any misunderstandings." ”
As he was talking, the door of the small room opened, and Zhou Yunfang and Wu Qing walked out arm in arm, as if they were not quarrelling.
"Sister, are you okay?" Su Xiaoyi stepped forward to look at Zhou Yunfang for a while, and then said hello to Wu Qing.
Wu Qing smiled faintly: "Sure enough, it is the beauty of the country and the city, no wonder Gao Zheng has been among the flowers and loves you alone." ”
"Not really!" Su Xiaoyi buried her head shyly, and her slender jade hand gently played with the corners of her clothes, not daring to look at Wu Qing.
Wu Qing glanced at Gao Zheng meaningfully and did not speak again.
At this time, Zhou Yunfang widened her eyes and said in a deep voice to Gao Zheng: "What are you doing here?" Are you still worried that Miss Wu and I will not be able to fight? ”
Jiang Longzang and Gan Chusheng shrugged their shoulders, exchanged glances with Gao Zheng, and returned to the teahouse. Seeing that Zhou Yunfang and Wu Qing were fine, Gao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Qing walked up to Su Xiaoyi, took her arm and said, "Sister Fang is worried that I will rob you of your Gao Zheng, and she almost wants to be anxious with me. But don't worry, I won't do that. And you are indeed the only one who Gao Zheng likes. Alright, your family is reunited, and it's time for me to go! ”
Wu Qing's nose was a little sour, but her face was still silent, and she turned around and walked out.
"Miss Wu, please stay!" Zhou Yunfang called her softly: "Those who come are guests, how can anyone leave without eating?" Stay and have a light meal together! ”
"No, how nice your family is, my stay will ruin the atmosphere." Wu Qing smiled faintly, a few lights flashed in the corners of her eyes, and left quickly.
"Sister Qing......" Su Xiaoyi chased after her, and when she came to her ear and didn't know what to say, Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head as if refusing.
But Su Xiaoyi did not give up, and continued to pull Wu Qing to persuade him, making Gao Zheng confused.
"Well, this girl is really...... Gao Zheng, if you dare to live up to Xiaoyi in the future, don't blame my sister for turning her face and not recognizing people. Zhou Yunfang should have understood something, raised her face at Gao Zhenghu, sighed and said.
Gao Zheng nodded solemnly, still muttering in his heart, not knowing what Su Xiaoyi and Wu Qing were talking about.
In short, under Su Xiaoyi's persuasion, Wu Qing finally returned to the noodle shop, but she seemed a little uncomfortable looking at Zhou Yunfang's eyes.
Zhou Yunfang shook her head, then put down the work in her hand and said to Wu Qing and Su Xiaoyi: "You two come in with me, I have something to say." ”
"Oh, okay!" Wu Qing and Su Xiaoyi responded at the same time, and followed Zhou Yunfang into the small room again.
Gao Zheng was full of black lines, and he couldn't figure out what the hell these women were doing.
About half an hour later, Zhou Yunfang took Wu Qing and Su Xiaoyi, talking and laughing, and walked out of the small room, looking very happy. Gao Zheng didn't know what they were talking about, anyway, since then, Wu Qing has become a frequent customer of the noodle shop, coming over every once in a while.
Gao Zheng also asked Zhou Yunfang and Su Xiaoyi about this, but neither of them was willing to say. Especially Zhou Yunfang, said that Gao Zheng picked up a big bargain, don't get cheap and sell well.
also said that Su Xiaoyi suffered a big loss, so Gao Zheng must not wronged her. In short, Gao Zheng heard that the clouds were foggy, and his mind was full of question marks.
In fact, if you reminisce about Zhou Yunfang, Gao Zheng can still figure it out.
It's just that this guy doesn't want to think about it more, but he is more comfortable in the confusion, and he won't be too embarrassed when facing Zhou Yunfang.
As for the cooperation between Wu Qing and Zhou Yunfang alone, Gao Zheng later knew. Wu Qing wants to integrate a noodle shop, a tea house and a medicinal food restaurant to invest in the brand.
The so-called brand investment is to build your own brand, and then positioning, packaging, publicity and hype for the development goals of the brand. Take advantage of the current business reputation, concentrate on advantages, and manage in a unified manner in the form of a group company.
Wu Qing wanted to establish the "Yiyun Group" with Zhou Yunfang in the name of "Zhenghe Investment", and both parties accounted for 50% of the shares.
Zhou Yunfang registered the brand, Wu Qing was responsible for capital injection, and chose a site in the small street to buy a piece of land to build the company.
Centralizing the management of idle industries not only saves human and financial costs, improves management performance, but also facilitates brand promotion and quickly becomes bigger and stronger.
However, in this case, the signboard of Ping An Tea House will be replaced. Since you are building your own brand, you have to switch to your own brand.
The noodle restaurant and the medicinal restaurant are easy to say, but the teahouse makes Wu Qing very entangled. Because the brand of the teahouse is inherited, it is not original by Zhou Yunfang and Gao Zheng.
If it were to change, there would be a lot of issues involved.
For example, the old-timer who created Ping'an Tea repeatedly explained when he transferred the teahouse out that anything in the teahouse could be changed, but the signboard could not be changed.
Moreover, the reason why Ping An Teahouse has always been "safe" has a lot to do with the gold-lettered signboard of the teahouse.
Although Gao Zheng's strength is also an important factor, what people in the rivers and lakes value is the fame and prestige inherited from the teahouse.
Changing the name of the teahouse to another name may make some people mistakenly believe that the tradition of "forbidding martial arts" in the teahouse has changed, and it has become insecure, which will affect the future business of the teahouse.
It was precisely because of this special reason for the teahouse that Wu Qing would find Zhou Yunfang to discuss cooperation.
Because in Wu Qing's view, Zhou Yunfang is the legal person and behind-the-scenes boss of Ping An Teahouse. Although Gao Zheng also owns shares, at the legal level, he cannot make decisions on behalf of Wu Qing.
Now the Wu family regards "Zhenghe Investment" and Xiangquan as the strategic support point in the future, and any decision-making related to "Zhenghe Investment" must be legal and compliant, and try to avoid omissions.
In addition, Wu Qing is also worried that Gao Zheng will oppose the name change of the teahouse, which will affect her planning and layout. After all, the signboard of Ping'an Teahouse is in Xiangquan, which is a symbol of the times and has a strong symbolic meaning.
"Sister Qing, if you think like this, it would be too much to underestimate my integrity." After Gao Zheng heard what Wu Qing said, he smiled lightly: "Actually, I have long wanted to integrate and manage all the industries, even if Sister Qing doesn't talk about this today, I will start to prepare it myself." ”
"Really?" Wu Qing didn't seem to believe that Gao Zheng would really give up the gold-lettered signboard in the teahouse: "Do you know how many people there are in Xiangquan, just waiting for you to give up?" ”
"No matter how loud the teahouse signboard is, it is made by others, and it has little to do with us. When I first took over, borrowing the sign of the tea house might save me a lot of trouble, but in the long run, I would prefer to build my own brand. Gao Zheng said to Wu Qing in a deep voice.
Wu Qing nodded: "It's best if you think like this...... After the investment company is straightened out in the next few days, Sister Fang and I will start to implement the company's site selection. Strive to finalize the building land and design plan this month, start construction next month, and complete the company within the year. ”
"In such a hurry?" Gao Zheng smiled and said: "I think it's not too late to wait for the Wu family's side to stabilize before making plans, in case there is an accident in the provincial capital, this side will become a stumbling block, and it is difficult for both sides to take care of it at the same time." ”
"No, without further ado, even if the Wu family in the provincial capital has already started a war with the Wang family, the plan on our side cannot be changed." Wu Qing said in a deep voice: "Xiangquan is the back road of the Wu family, the more difficulties the Wu family encounters, the more the development here cannot be stopped." ”
Gao Zheng was secretly surprised, he didn't expect the Wu family to attach so much importance to Xiangquan. Listening to Wu Qing's meaning, the Wu family should want to enter Xiangquan in an all-round way, and even shift the focus of development to Xiangquan.
If this is the case, then it will not be long before the entire pattern of the incense spring will be turned upside down. Whether it is the above-ground world or the underworld, the cards will be reshuffled.
Perhaps Wu Qing drove the Ye family out of Xiangquan at the beginning, not just to stand out for Gao Zheng, but also for a deeper reason: to pave the way for the Wu family to enter Xiangquan.
Thinking of this, Gao Zheng felt that Wu Yuanan was really terrible, and every step he took was far-sighted and prepared for a rainy day.
Of course, Gao Zheng would not blame Wu Qing or the Wu family for this, after all, no matter what reason the Wu family suppressed the Ye family at the beginning, they were helping themselves.
What's more, Wu Qing and Wu Yuanan are honest enough with Gao Zheng that they can't tell Gao Zheng everything. But all decisions involving the core interests of the family, let alone an outsider, are not all known to the core personnel within the family.
In short, after Gao Zheng heard Wu Qing's words, he thought a lot, and secretly rejoiced that he was friends and not enemies with the Wu family, otherwise with the current limelight of Ping'an Teahouse, it was likely to be targeted by the Wu family.
After eating, Wu Qing left the noodle shop, and when she left, she didn't forget to flirt with Zhou Yunfang and Su Xiaoyi for a while.
In the next few days, Gao Zheng never went out of the door of the teahouse except for a trip to "Yiyun". Stuck together with Su Xiaoyi all day long, complaining to each other, and finally pierced the layer of paper, and officially got along with each other as lovers.
Su Xiaoyi leaned on Gao Zheng's arms like a little bird and said, "You know, Sister Qing likes you very much, it can be said that it was love at first sight." ”
"Xiaoyi, don't get me wrong, Sister Qing and I are just sisters and brothers, not what you think." Gao Zheng said in a bit of a panic.
Su Xiaoyi is introverted and very traditional in matters between men and women, and Wu Qing's love for Gao Zheng may be a harm to her, which will make her suffer from gains and losses, and her heart will be clouded from then on.
So Gao Zheng had to explain to her and let her go.
Who knew that Su Xiaoyi said with a faint smile when she heard this: "It's true that you treat her as a sister, but her feelings for you are not as simple as a younger brother...... Fool, I don't blame you, what are you nervous about? Don't you really want to know what I said to Sister Qing that day? I'll tell you now! ”
"I know Sister Qing likes you, so I told her that I don't mind you being with her."
"Xiaoyi, why are you so stupid?" Gao Zheng's heart suddenly became sour, this kind girl would actually make such a concession.
"I'm not stupid, I can tell from the day you showed up that you're not ordinary. A man like you is bound to be surrounded by a lot of women. It doesn't matter, I don't care if I can stay with you for a long time, as long as you have me in your heart. Su Xiaoyi choked tears in her eyes and said, "Even if you marry another woman in the end, I won't blame you." ”
"No, no, I'll only be with you for the rest of my life." Gao Zheng hugged Su Xiaoyi tightly, as if she was afraid that she would fly away from his hands.
Su Xiaoyi shook her head: "Many things are unpredictable, maybe there will be some unavoidable reasons in the future to separate the two of us?" ”
Gao Zheng was suddenly silent, and immediately thought of Wu Qing and Tang Guo.
Wu Qing's love for Gao Zheng has been expressed more than once, and she asked herself, does Gao Zheng really have no idea about her?
In fact, although Gao Zheng defined the relationship between him and Wu Qing as a brother and sister, after this period of time getting along day and night, especially after the things experienced in the underground ancestral hall of the Wu family, he already had a place for Wu Qing in his heart.
It's just that many times, he doesn't want to admit it.
Not to mention Tang Guo, who was Gao Zheng's first love, and Gao Zheng was defeated by her at the beginning. All these years have passed, Gao Zheng has been trying to forget her, but many times, inadvertently, he still thinks of her, and also recalls the relationship that was not vigorous, but absolutely unforgettable.
"Okay, don't get too entangled, everything will just go naturally." Su Xiaoyi got up lightly and said with a smile: "Everything is fate, it's best to be together, if you don't, at least ...... I've had it before. ”
Gao Zheng nodded vigorously, but there was something unpleasant in his heart. Originally, when he didn't break this relationship with Su Xiaoyi, he didn't feel anything, but now the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that he is a scumbag.
For a period of time afterward, Gao Zheng always had this kind of self-effeminating thought, feeling sorry for Su Xiaoyi for a while, and blaming himself for "abandoning" Tang Guo back then.
It's Zhou Yunfang, since she talked to Wu Qing and Su Xiaoyi in the small room that day, she hasn't bothered about the women around Gao Zheng.
But it was from that time that Gao Zheng found that Zhou Yunfang seemed to be a different person, no longer as big and straightforward as before. Moreover, the hearty smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a faint melancholy.
Seeing Zhou Yunfang's change, Gao Zheng felt very uncomfortable, and asked her several times if she had anything in charge, but she didn't get a reply, and even Zhou Yunfang didn't seem to want to say anything to him.
"Sister Fang, do you feel disgusted when you see me now?" Gao Zheng couldn't stand this kind of cold violence, and took advantage of the dinner in the evening to ask Zhou Yunfang.
Zhou Yunfang ate silently, without paying attention to Gao Zheng.
Su Xiaoyi, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "No, the relationship between the two of us is clear now, and my sister has no objections, how can I hate you?" ”
Gao Zheng smiled coldly: "I didn't object, but I didn't agree, did I?" Sister Fang, if you misunderstand me because of Sister Qing's appearance, then I will break off my friendship with her in the future. I will take back her shares in the teahouse or transfer the teahouse to her......"
"You can't stop eating with you, can you?" Zhou Yunfang put down the dishes and chopsticks and glanced at Gao Zheng: "What you want to do is your business, but don't get involved with me, and don't affect my cooperation with Miss Wu...... After eating, I brushed the bowl......"
Belch...... Gao Zheng and Su Xiaoyi glanced at each other, and when they heard Zhou Yunfang's tone, it didn't seem to be because of Wu Qing.
"I'm done eating, it's up to you to wash the dishes!" Su Xiaoyi winked at Gao Gao and followed Zhou Yunfang into the room.
Gao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and laughed unconsciously, this kind of life made him feel real. Although sometimes there will be a mix of mouths and emotions, it is full of the smell of fireworks in the world.
Time flies like a white horse, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
Wu Qing came to the noodle shop as promised, and took Zhou Yunfang to the vicinity of the small street to find a suitable location for the upcoming company.
Coincidentally, on this day, Bai Ruoshuang and Bai Ruoxue also came to Zhou Yunfang to discuss the opening of a beauty salon, and the noodle shop suddenly became lively.
Three women in one play, and the play staged by five women is even more wonderful.
But what embarrassed Gao Zheng was that Bai Ruoxue said to Gao Zheng in front of Wu Qing and Zhou Yunfang: "Brother, you are too boring, you don't call your sister when you come back." Do you know that my sister is going crazy these days, even if the tea is not fragrant, and when she sleeps at night, she still calls your name......"
Gao Zheng was full of black lines, and when he raised his eyes, he found that Wu Qing and Zhou Yunfang were glaring at him fiercely, and their eyes seemed to be able to kill.
