Chapter 22: The Unreachable Goddess
Jiuxiang has not snowed for several years, just like a thick accumulation, this time it is two days, the fields in the field are piled up more than a foot thick, the snowy scene wrapped in silver makes young people cheer, and the snow stops competing to play in the snow and enjoy the snow. With this snow, Jiang Mengyao feels that this nineteenth birthday can be very chic, she is a person who doesn't like publicity, she usually only cares about studying, and she has very little communication, so she only made an appointment with one person to accompany her today, and it was Qi Xiaoyang who rushed back to Jiuxiang last night. The two said that they would meet at Qingyang Bridge at ten o'clock, walk south along the river together, and walk to the riverside farmhouse in the suburbs.
Although he started to really contact Qi Xiaoyang because of dropping out of school half a year ago, Jiang Mengyao regarded him as the only friend of the same age, because Qi Xiaoyang not only has a rare calmness at this age, but also does not lose the enthusiasm of youth, especially the matter of fighting and slaughtering Wanlin half a year ago slowly spread, which made Jiang Mengyao look at this two-year-old little brother differently, and admired his wit and courage in his heart. Jiang Mengyao's appointment with Qi Xiaoyang today is just a reason, she wants to know more about what kind of changes this teenager will bring to this teenager in the past six months.
When Qi Xiaoyang appeared in front of her, he showed the first major change. "You're too exaggerated, aren't you? You have grown so much taller after only half a year!" Jiang Mengyao exclaimed, Qi Xiaoyang, who was almost a head shorter than her during the summer vacation, is now as tall as her!
"I'll be crippled if I don't grow any longer, hehe! This is a little gift for you, happy birthday!" Qi Xiaoyang couldn't control his blushing heartbeat when he saw Jiang Mengyao, and tried to make himself behave naturally.
Jiang Mengyao was not pretentious, took the satin box and said, "Thank you, can I take a look first?" She knew that Qi Xiaoyang was poor and it was impossible to give anything valuable, but fortunately, there were only two people, and it would not embarrass him if she opened it in person.
"Of course, but I won't pick a gift, I'm afraid you won't like it. Qi Xiaoyang was a little weak-hearted, he really didn't know if the things he sent were appropriate.
"What a beautiful jade pendant!" Looking at the crystal clear pendant in the box, Jiang Mengyao, who knew the goods, couldn't help but tighten her heart, and raised her head and asked suspiciously: "Qi Xiaoyang, you won't get rich in half a year, right?"
Qi Xiaoyang said embarrassedly: "Where is this valuable, just a few thousand yuan, as long as you like it!"
"Heh, my tone is also good, a few thousand yuan is nothing, it seems that you have really made a fortune!" Jiang Mengyao was actually afraid that he would slap his swollen face and become fat, and spend so much money because of the reason he gave away his mobile phone last time.
Qi Xiaoyang naturally understood Jiang Mengyao's kindness, so he had to explain: "I have gained a lot of money in the past six months, and I am no longer the poor ghost I used to be, don't worry, this is really nothing!" This pendant was specially picked up before coming back from the south, Qi Xiaoyang actually spent more than 10,000 yuan, he didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that Jiang Mengyao would misunderstand something.
"Okay, I'll treat you as a little rich man, take the things first, let's walk and talk about what you have made a fortune in the past six months. Jiang Mengyao put the box in her handbag and asked Qi Xiaoyang to go south together
The two of them had a lot of fun on this day, Qi Xiaoyang was happy to have the opportunity to be with the goddess in his heart, although he didn't dare to say anything about it, he could smell the faint girl's fragrance up close, which already made him indulge in happiness; Jiang Mengyao didn't have the slightest idea of Qi Xiaoyang between men and women, he still regarded him as a child, and it was rare to have the opportunity to indulge his mood in the wild, so he naturally let go of his usual cold arrogance, revealing the original nature of a young girl, playing snowballs with Qi Xiaoyang, building a snowman, and it wasn't until her mother called in the afternoon that the two reluctantly went back to the city。
At the end of this day, Qi Xiaoyang knew some about the situation of Jiang Mengyao's family, and as expected, her family not only had a deep background, but also a little scary. Jiang Mengyao's father, Jiang Wuyuan, is the largest real estate developer in the province, and her grandfather is actually Mu Xiangnong, secretary of the provincial party committee! Two years ago, I didn't know what Jiang Wuyuan had done to annoy her mother, so in a fit of rage, she moved to Jiuxiang with Jiang Mengyao and cut off contact with her father. I came to Jiuxiang because there was the former residence of the Mu family, and Jiang Mengyao's mother grew up here. Knowing this detail, Qi Xiaoyang understood even more that he was far away from Jiang Mengyao, and he was really a goddess on the clouds, which was out of reach.
The next day, Qi Xiaoyang went to Beishan Prison with Cheng Chen and Tian Tian to visit his father Qi Yaohe, who was serving a sentence there. It's about to be the New Year, Qi Xiaoyang bought a big bag of tobacco, alcohol and food for his father, it is the first time to do his filial piety, several people met in the meeting room, the originally burly and handsome Qi Yaohe looked very haggard, he didn't blame Qi Xiaoyang for giving up the college entrance examination, the letter that Qi Xiaoyang left him half a year ago made him understand his son's approach, but the idea of this kid preparing to start his own business after the Spring Festival made him very worried, after all, he was just a child! Listening to Qi Xiaoyang tell about cleaning up the father and son of the Tu family half a year ago, although he was happy, he was more worried, he couldn't believe that a few children could finally win the fierce old wolf. However, now that he is in prison, he can't protect his son, so he can only persuade Qi Xiaoyang repeatedly to give up his plan to start a business in Jiuxiang, and wait for him to be released from prison.
After seeing his father, Qi Xiaoyang said goodbye to Tian Tian and Cheng Chen and went to Wulian again, he wanted to go over to accompany his mother for the New Year, and under the current circumstances, he didn't dare to take her back to Jiuxiang, once Tu Wanlin retaliated, he was not sure how to deal with it. On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Qi Xiaoyang declined Jiang Shilun's invitation to go to his house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, after all, this day belongs to family reunions, especially for large families like the Jiang family, and it is definitely not appropriate for outsiders to go. These days, there is no need to pay for a hotel anymore, because Lin Xiaoxiao went back to her hometown for the New Year, and her dormitory happened to be a temporary shelter for Qi Xiaoyang.
Ruan Honglian originally planned to take Qi Xiaoyang back to his parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings to his grandparents and uncles, but the hotel can be busy on the first day of the new year, and now everyone's habits for the New Year have also changed a lot, some people want to go to the hotel to book a table to entertain guests, as long as they still insist on business, the business is very hot, Marriott also left some people to do business this year, but there is a serious shortage of manpower, Ruan Honglian is a person who knows how to repay kindness, and the kitchen is too busy, so she canceled the plan to go to relatives and took the initiative to help over there.
Qi Xiaoyang has been busy staying at home for the past few days during the Spring Festival, except for practicing "Refining Spiritual Formula" for two hours in the morning and evening, he consulted a lot of information on the Internet and began to formulate a business plan. This afternoon, the final changes were being made in the dormitory, Jiang Shilun came to the door, he was going back to school in the Eagle Country tomorrow, and he was going to invite Qi Xiaoyang over for a farewell dinner.
Inadvertently saw the planning book on Qi Xiaoyang's computer, Jiang Shilun was surprised and worried and said: "You are smarter than I originally imagined, such an innovative idea, cow! But Xiaoyang, you must know that doing business does not only rely on one aspect of ability, you have no social experience, such things are only afraid that they will not be considered, I suggest you show this thing to my father, he has been in the business world for so many years, maybe he can help you improve it." ”
Qi Xiaoyang happily responded: "Of course it's good, I originally wanted to ask him to check it, but I was afraid that he would be busy." ”
"What are you busy with, aren't you just busy drinking everywhere these days, just today you promised to eat with us at home, let's go over now, let him help you come up with ideas before eating. Jiang Shilun said as he plugged in the USB flash drive to copy the documents for him.
When Jiang Shoukun took over the USB flash drive from his son's hand, he opened the file with the mentality of an adult watching the child's homework, although he had a very good impression of Qi Xiaoyang, but he felt that at this age, the company planned such a thing, it was a child's family that was too ambitious, and it seemed that he should be properly poured cold water.
Qi Xiaoyang saw that Jiang Shoukun didn't say a word after reading his planning book, closed his eyes and pondered with a serious face, and his heart couldn't help but feel weak for a while, the first time he made such an article, he even learned the format on the Internet, and he was not very sure whether the idea was right or not, he stood up with a red face and said: "Uncle Jiang, is my idea too naïve? If not, you don't have to think about saving face, even if you criticize, I'll do it again."
Jiang Shoukun waved his hand to interrupt Qi Xiaoyang and said, "You guys go out first, let me think about it again, and I'll talk about it when I eat later." Qi Xiaoyang didn't know why, so he had to withdraw from the study with Jiang Shilun, waiting anxiously for Jiang Shoukun's conclusion.
More than an hour later, the food was already on the table, Jiang Shilun's mother urged twice, and Jiang Shoukun came out of the study. In addition to Jiang Shoukun and his wife, today's dinner also has Jiang Shilun's sister Jiang Yushan and brother-in-law Wei Mingyang, who just rushed over, Wei Mingyang, who is a talent, is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, looks a bit like the old star Liming, works in the provincial organs, and is already a department-level cadre, because he only married Jiang Yushan last year, and he is still a little restrained in front of his father-in-law.
"Little one, come and sit next to me and talk. Jiang Shoukun took the lead in sitting down at the head of the table and greeted Qi Xiaoyang.
Jiang Shilun pulled the embarrassed Qi Xiaoyang to sit next to him and whispered: "We don't pay so much attention to it in our family. ”
Jiang Shoukun opened the cap of the wine bottle on the table and asked, "Two little guys have two drinks with me?" He knew that his son-in-law didn't drink.
"You old drunkard, why are you used to children drinking!" said Jiang's mother angrily.
Jiang Shoukun laughed: "What do you know, if you don't cultivate a successor, our quintessence will have no successor, Shilun is twenty years old, what are you afraid of drinking some wine;
Qi Xiaoyang hurriedly stood up to take the wine bottle: "Uncle Jiang, don't hurt me, let me pour the bar." ”
Jiang Shoukun patted his shoulder and pressed Qi Xiaoyang back into the chair: "I'm not hurting you, just with your bold plan, you can afford to be poured wine by your uncle." While pouring wine, he continued: "The little guy is not simple, your ideas are very creative and promising! Come, a toast to our future little entrepreneurs!"
Qi Xiaoyang sincerely picked up the small wine glass and touched it with the Jiang family's father and son: "Thank you Uncle Jiang for your encouragement, Brother Jiang will have a smooth journey tomorrow!" After speaking, he drank it all, although he had just learned to drink, he understood the rules of doing it first as respect.
"Okay! a bit of a man's arrogance!" Jiang Shoukun also drank the wine in his glass and said: "The suggestions for you are all in the USB flash drive, go back and take a good look, you let go of the courage to do it, come to me again when you encounter problems, uncle supports you." It's a pity that you Jiuxiang is too far away, and I don't have anything to do with it over there, but if you need funds, you can just say that I will give you some shares. If your first pilot is successful, I believe it will soon be promoted to the provincial capital, and I will convince you when the time comes. ”
A stone fell to the ground in Qi Xiaoyang's heart, not because of Jiang Shoukun's financial support commitment, but because of the affirmation of his plan. "With the guidance and support of seniors like Uncle Jiang, I feel much more at ease, I salute Uncle Jiang for a cup!"
