Chapter 40: Misunderstanding
For Qi fans, the only recent change is that the family suddenly changed to an SUV.
Recently, she hasn't been on the brain-like body much, mainly because Ji Lian "dropped the chain" - his grandfather relied on Beijing to play and wanted to live in their house.
Finally, when the old man made arrangements, Ji Lian was released to play. However, when he met with Qi Mi, he didn't feel that his grandfather and grandfather were burdensome to come to Beijing at all.
"My grandma's three-fresh stew is fragrant, let me tell you," he tried his best to brag about his grandma's cooking skills in front of Qi fans, "and the cold noodle juice she mixes, which can't be compared to ...... in ordinary restaurants."
Qi Fan felt very unconvinced, but her grandma really didn't have any good food, so she had to pretend to be envious and said: "Your grandma is so good, my grandma used to be very busy at work and didn't have time to cook, and she had to manage the circuit engineering of a big project, and she always worked overtime." ”
"Of course it can't be compared to your grandmother." Ji Lian said sincerely, "You are from a big family, the top 5% of Chinese." ”
"Also...... No. Qi Fan said with some embarrassment, "My grandmother's generation is the middle class. ”
"So, your family is an upstart?" Ji Lian asked in surprise.
Qi Fan reflexively felt that the word "nouveau riche" was ugly, but when he thought about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. But she also has one more thing to say: "What happened to the nouveau riche?" ”
"No, in this money-worshipping society, rich is ......" He wanted to say "Dad", but considering the male chauvinistic color of the word, he still used "rich is a cow".
Qi Fan suddenly felt that her family was really powerful, but after thinking about it, she was still just a little poor child who had no inheritance rights - she thought she was, and boasting that her family had money could only be regarded as a swollen face and a fat person.
"What about your family's current ...... It's all earned by your grandfather? Ji Lian asked again.
"No, my grandfather just does the usual job." Qi Fan replied.
Ji Lian couldn't help frowning when she heard this, it wasn't an ancestral family property, and it wasn't made by her grandfather's generation, could it be that her mother couldn't earn it alone? This is not logical, if her mother is so strong, she still needs to worry about her stepfather coveting the family property?
But it's hard to say. Ji Lian secretly felt that if Qi Mi's mother was actually in power, it would be okay if they didn't train their daughters as heirs. But those who have achieved a class jump within a generation, whether it is a shrewd operation after primitive accumulation, or a speculative fortune to make money, or even a fortune, are at least not people who can be easily fooled. Those so-called "generation" are people who have really come into contact with all walks of life, and their deep understanding of society is certainly incomparable to those ordinary second-generation young people. Maybe you can't even ...... Is Qi Fan really not suitable to be an heir?
Ji Lian involuntarily touched his chin and looked at Qi Mi, staring at her a little hairy in his heart: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's alright...... I just slipped away. Ji Lian looked away, thinking that he really couldn't see anything. But Ji Lian doesn't think that Qi Fan lacks ability, and with the IQ she is showing now, Ji Lian feels that she has at least no problem as a senior manager.
Qi Fan was watched by him for a few seconds, and suddenly remembered that her mother had advised her not to fall in love or something like that. To be honest, Qi fans don't have much interest in falling in love - that's what ordinary little girls do, and they don't have any chance of inheriting a third of the brain-like companies, so they don't have to think too much about their future.
As for Ji Lian, Qi Fan feels that it is important to maintain a good and reasonable relationship between them. After all, Ji Lian is her biggest help at present, and she doesn't want to delay her normal "work" with Ji Lian because of any emotional entanglements.
"By the way, is it a brain-like body today?" Qi Fan took the initiative to change the topic.
"Hmm......" Ji Lian thought for a while and said, "My grandfather is at home, so I still can't take you to my house...... But we can find a place to have a good exchange, sort out the information we have collected before, and arrange what we will do next time. ”
Now that it's getting colder, it's not comfortable to sit outside and discuss things. Ji Lian's conclusion was to find a café to discuss - this "inspiration" came from the "startup café" he saw on the Internet, that is, those who started their own business had to talk about things in the café. Although he didn't know what the essential difference between the café and other places was, the last time he wanted to drink milk tea, he ordered the takeaway from the newly opened café and found that the coupons they gave were really affordable.
Ji Lian took Qi Fan to the newly opened café he opened on his way home from school, and took the initiative to order two cups of milk tea. It was also when he ordered milk tea takeout that he realized that because milk and milk foam are used to make coffee in cafes, and milk is also added directly when making milk tea, the taste is smoother than those "traditional" milk teas with non-dairy creamer.
This is actually closer to the taste of Hong Kong-style stockings milk tea, but Ji Lian and Qi fans of their generation have most likely never drunk real stockings milk tea.
Ji Lian just wanted to simply give "Amway" to Qi fans, what he thought was delicious, but she didn't expect this cup of milk tea to make her think crookedly. It's no wonder who comes out to talk to their "work partners" and orders milk tea in a café? QI FANS HAVE ALWAYS FELT THAT THE DRINKS THAT ACCOMPANY FORMAL CONVERSATIONS SHOULD BE UNSWEET, AND IF THEY ARE MORE HARDCORE, THEY SHOULD EVEN DRINK ESPRESSO AMERICANO.
At home, Mr. Qi Zhiguang likes to pour some tea and coffee. IN FACT, HE JUST PLAYED CASUALLY, BUT QI FAN HAD TASTED THE SOUR AND MEDICINAL TASTE OF ESPRESSO THAT WAS DIRECTLY "EXTRACTED". So much so that she later felt that coffee was nothing good at all, and office workers drank all kinds of coffee just to show off themselves - in fact, it was not very high - X grid.
And drinking milk tea in a café is even less like just discussing things.
So after sitting down in the seat by the window, Qi Fan asked Ji Lian straight to the point, "What do you want to tell me?" ”
"Huh?" Ji Lian didn't understand it too much.
"You've been looking at me for a long time." Qi Fan reminded him. She prides herself on being a "woman with intuitive talents" who can subconsciously analyze other people's expressions and subtle movements, so she suspects that Ji Lian also has a "reason".
"Oh......" Ji Lian was really a little weak-hearted, after all, he promised to help Qi Fan win the inheritance, but after learning a little about the real situation of her family, he retreated - although he only fought in his heart, thinking was also real, so he fought and hit.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Qi Fan couldn't help but worry. Looks like he really has something to do with himself? That's not going to be easy......
However, in the next second, Ji Lian said sincerely: "I was just thinking at that time, your mother made a fortune on her own, and she may not be confused by appearances." You still have to listen to your mother's opinion......"
