Chapter 46: Together to the White Head
"Hey, what's so upset?" On the way, seeing that Jiang Feng had been frowning, Su Mei took the initiative to speak.
Jiang Feng said: "This time I went to the Phantom Rain Building, and I don't know if I can see that Ah Leng girl." ”
Su Mei gossiped again, and said with a smile: "What are you looking for that girl for?" ”
Jiang Feng hesitated for a moment, told him about the Hades Seal, and then said with a red face: "Sister, if you can really see the Hades Seal this time, what ...... Can you lend me some money? ”
"You want to buy something back?" Su Mei patted her chest, flicked it one by one, and said, "Don't worry, it's wrapped up in my sister!" ”
Jiang Feng had one less worry, he was in a good mood, and asked again: "By the way, sister, who is the major shareholder of Phantom Rain Building?" ”
Su Mei said: "It's an old man, named Cui Xushi, but he is already old, and now his family is taking care of the affairs of the Phantom Rain Building." This time, let's go over, it is Master Cui's ninth daughter - Cui Yingying is in charge of the reception, and now she is in charge. ”
"Ninth daughter?" Jiang Feng was secretly speechless and said, "This Cui Xushi is very powerful!" ”
……
When I arrived in Yangcheng, the sky was just dark.
It stands to reason that the ribbon will be cut tomorrow and officially opened, and the mall should be jubilant, but when they arrived at the place, the two looked up and saw that the entire mall was pitch black, and none of the stores were lit up.
Su Meihu was suspicious and said, "When I came here last time, many stores had already started trial opening, why was there no one this time?" ”
Jiang Feng also didn't know why, and said, "What about the Cui family, where are they?" ”
Su Mei said: "I said before that in the top hotel, the accommodation and banquet have been arranged, let's go up and have a look first." ”
While talking, the two entered the elevator, but when they reached the top floor, the hotel was also closed.
"Strange!" Su Mei took out her mobile phone to call Cui Yingying, but she didn't answer after calling each other.
Jiang Feng said: "Sister, you won't be deceived by them, right?" ”
"Impossible!" Su Mei said, "A contract signed on white paper, black letters, and red seals, and it's not the first time I've done business with the Cui family, so it shouldn't be!" In this way, let's go to a nearby hotel to stay in first, and Cui Yingying will call me back when she sees the news! ”
When they arrived downstairs, the two got in the car and were about to leave, when a security guard in the security booth hurriedly ran over, confirmed the license plate number, changed his expression, and said, "Is it Mr. Su from Binhai?" ”
Su Mei nodded and said, "What about Mr. Cui in your shopping mall?" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The security guard apologized vigorously and said, "I just went to dinner and didn't notice you coming!" Mr. Cui had something to do in his hometown, so he went back temporarily, saying that tomorrow's ribbon-cutting and opening ceremony would be postponed for a few days. ”
"Why?" Su Mei was a little unhappy, as a CEO with a net worth of hundreds of millions, her time is very precious, and she usually arranges her itinerary one or two months in advance.
The security guard said: "I heard that Mr. Cui Xushi suddenly fell ill and left this afternoon, Mr. Cui temporarily rushed back to his hometown, and a series of celebrations such as flower baskets and salutes prepared by the shopping mall were all removed!" ”
"That's it!" Su Mei was a little surprised, she didn't expect Cui Xushi to leave at this time, and now the Cui family must be busy inside and out, no wonder Cui Yingying doesn't answer her phone.
"Sister, what should we do now?" Jiang Feng ran out of ideas.
Su Mei said: "Old man Cui is a senior, I don't know, but now I know that his old man is gone, so I have to go to pay respects!" ”
The two found a restaurant, ate and drank enough, rested for a while, and then went to Cui's house.
……
The Cui family's old house is in the countryside, a place called Cuijiazhuang, 100 miles away from the city.
Walking through the downtown area and coming to the suburbs, I didn't expect the sky to suddenly change and it snowed heavily.
The country road is already difficult to walk, and when it snows, it is even more difficult to see the road conditions, and the chassis of the sports car is relatively low, and it has been stuck in the mud ditch several times, and it almost can't get up!
Finally drove to a small town, Su Mei stopped the car and said, "We can't drive this car, let's see if we can get a taxi!" ”
But this big night, it's a remote town, not to mention taxis and buses, and there is not even a single three-jumper running a black car.
There are small trucks parked in front of the doors of several households, the distance between the cars is narrow and the chassis is high, Su Mei wanted to rent one, but the other party asked for a sky-high price, and the opening was two thousand or three thousand.
Su Mei couldn't afford to pay for it, so she had no choice but to have two or three hundred cash on her, and the residents of the town didn't know how to swipe the card and scan the code, so Su Mei was so anxious!
Jiang Feng caught a glimpse of a bicycle parked at the entrance of the commissary, and he had an idea, and said, "Sister, why don't we buy a bicycle and ride over, I'll take you!" ”
"Bikes?" Su Mei shook her head and said, "Not to mention that it is still snowing in the sky, there are still fifty or sixty miles to go, when do you have to ride!" ”
"I'm riding, guaranteed to be no slower than driving!" Jiang Feng looked confident.
Su Mei had no other way for the time being, so she had to choose to believe Jiang Feng and buy the bicycle for two hundred yuan.
Jiang Feng took off his coat, draped one on Su Mei's body, and spread the other on the back seat of the bicycle, and said, "Sister, you have to hold on to me, the speed is too fast, I'm afraid I'll lose you!" ”
"Blow it, you'll do it!" Su Mei sat in the back with a smile, looking at the snowflakes falling in front of her, feeling as if she had returned to the campus time, and gently leaned her head on Jiang Feng's shoulder.
Jiang Feng's driving skills are not covered, although they are not comparable to sports cars, but they must have a fight with trucks.
Su Mei felt romantic at first, but soon it was not romantic, but frightened!
It's a bicycle, it's a roller coaster!
It's okay to smooth the road, but once she encounters a potholed road, Su Mei's whole person is upside down, and when she falls down again, her butt hurts!
It took less than half an hour to arrive at Cuijiazhuang.
According to local custom, people who pay tribute to filial piety are not allowed to drive into the village, but to enter on foot to show respect for the deceased.
Jiang Feng parked the car on the side of the road and said, "Sister, let's go over!" ”
"Hmm!"
Su Mei jumped down from the back seat, twisted her sore waist, looked up and saw that Jiang Feng's head was full of white flowers, and said, "Don't move!" ”
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe to help Jiang Feng brush off the snow on her head, and said with a smile: "Look at you, your hair is white, like a little old man!" ”
"Sister, you are the same!" Jiang Feng helped Su Mei brush off the snow on her head, and said casually, "Let's go to Baitou together!" ”
"I'm not going to go with you to Baitou!" Su Mei's face suddenly became hot, and she didn't know what she thought.
……
Cui's family is a big family in the local area, which can be seen from the name of the village - Cuijiazhuang, more than half of the hundreds of households in the entire Zhuangzi are surnamed Cui. Because even with a bit of blood relationship, every household has a white pair.
In the last row of the village, a large mourning hall was built, with wreaths on the outside and white silk on the inside.
At this time, it was already very late, and in addition to the coffin and the portrait of Old Man Cui in the mourning hall, there was only one woman kneeling alone in front of the brazier.
She looks about the same age as Su Mei, although the pear blossoms on her face are raining, she can't hide the natural beauty like a water hibiscus, which is in line with the old saying: If you want to be pretty, you must be filial.
