In the study.

Jiang Ping'an worked from home, flipping through thick documents.

The study was silent, except for the sound of papers flipping through.

Qin Jingru came in with a thermos, saw that the tea in the teacup on the table had bottomed out, and hurriedly replaced it with a new one.

Jiang Ping'an raised his head and saw that her face was red and her hair was a little scattered, and he smiled:

"Why don't you take a little rest?"

Qin Jingru shook her head and pursed her lips and said with a light smile: "It's good to squint for a while, I can't sleep if I really want to." ”

Jiang Ping'an nodded, closed the file, and beckoned to her.

Qin Jingru stepped forward, sat on his lap, leaned on his arms, and said softly: "Some people want to worry about them." ”

"Call them if you want, although it's a little expensive, but our family is not bad for money." Jiang Ping'an said softly.

Qin Jingru shook his head and said, "No, I miss them more when I call, but it makes them homesick." ”

"When I was cooking before, my cousin told me that you want Xiaodang and Huaihua?"

Jiang Ping'an bowed his head and said, "Yes, they are young and can help you reduce your burden." ”

"Yours is yours!" Qin Jingru chuckled.

They have been husband and wife for many years, and she doesn't blame Jiang Ping'an for knowing that she loves this.

After thinking about it, she muttered in a low voice: "Sister Juanmei's girls are also good, do you want them?" ”

"Shuhong, Shulian, Shuting? But they all stand out, with Juanmei. Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

"You don't care about this, I have my own plans."

Qin Jingru snorted and said, "What can you do, can you let them go in the end?" ”

Then he looked up at Jiang Ping'an stupidly, holding his face with both hands, and said with a smile:

"You too, don't look old at all, now is the time to be charming, and you can please the little girl."

"Let's go to eat last month, what Xiaobai and Gao Yue, I saw your eyes shining......"

Jiang Ping'an smiled, covered her hand and said, "Look at what you said, don't you also look old?" ”

He found a rule, as long as the woman who was with him at the beginning, she didn't look very old.

For example, Qin Jingru, Qin Jingmeng, He Yushui, Xu Yueling, etc., have always maintained the appearance of twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

It is women such as Qin Huairu and Liang Ladi, although they are aging slowly, they still can't escape the tempering of the years.

"And what? It's just that the little girl likes it, but you don't like me now? ”

Qin Jingru shook his head and said, "No, we like ...... too"

Before he could finish speaking, the phone rang.

Jiang Ping'an picked up the phone, listened to a few words, nodded and said, "Let him come in!" ”

"Who?" Hanging up the phone, Qin Jingru said curiously.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Li Huaide." ”

Living room.

"Lao Li, a rare guest!" Jiang Ping'an warmly held Li Huaide's hand and said with a smile.

Li Huaide handed the gift to Qin Jingru and said with a smile: "I took the liberty to visit, I caused you trouble!" ”

In the past, he was Jiang Ping'an's superior, but now he is just an ordinary person.

But in the end, the old relationship is still there, even if Jiang Ping'an is so high now, he can still speak.

"When you say this, you'll see the outside, what do we have to do with each other? You're welcome? Jiang Ping'an smiled.

"Come, let's sit and talk, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have to have a few drinks today."

Qin Jingru put the gift away, came over and poured two cups of fragrant tea, and walked out of the living room.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, reminisced about the past, and Jiang Ping'an said:

"Lao Li, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, let's talk about anything directly!"

Li Huaide smiled and said, "Okay!" Isn't this reform and opening up? I want to open a restaurant, and I don't have any money. ”

"In addition, the cook's block also needs a few good people."

Jiang Ping'an nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Li, we are not outsiders, I will say it directly if I have something to say." ”

"With your connections, it's not hard to get some money, right? A few cooks are nothing, are they? ”

Li Huaide said bluntly: "After I came out of the rolling mill, I got divorced, and the relationship between my husband and wife is no longer needed. ”

"I have some connections myself, but if I want to gain a foothold in the capital, it's still not enough, so I need your support."

It's been a mess these days.

Li Huaide has been a leader for so many years, and like Jiang Ping'an, he thinks about defeat before he wins, and he thinks about loss before he loses.

It's always right to think ahead of everything.

If he hadn't met Jiang Ping'an, the sixth child, he wouldn't have lost his job so quickly.

Even now, he doesn't know how those antique calligraphy and paintings disappeared.

didn't know that all his efforts had made Jiang Ping'an take advantage.

Today, he cheekily came to ask Jiang Ping'an, because he didn't want his hard-working career to be wasted.

After getting along for many years, Li Huaide still knows Jiang Ping'an relatively well and feels that this person is reliable.

So even if he suffers some losses, he is willing to have a relationship with Jiang Ping'an.

"I have the money, and I can help me find a good cook." Jiang Ping'an nodded.

"As for the rest, with all due respect, there are some things that are not easy to mix."

Li Huaide hurriedly said: "Don't! If I didn't have your support for me, I would be scared to do business, and the relevant departments are not joking. ”

He came to ask Jiang Ping'an for this matter.

Jiang Ping'an smiled but did not speak, and slowly smoked a cigarette.

Li Huaide gritted his teeth, got up and stepped forward, and whispered a few words to Jiang Ping'an.

When Jiang Ping'an heard this, his face was surprised: "You said that girl's name is You Fengxia?" ”

"Yes!" Li Huaide nodded and replied, "As long as you say a word, forty percent of the dry stocks plus You Fengxia!" ”

"You don't have to pay the capital, I'll find a way, you just provide the cook."

Jiang Ping'an nodded silently and said, "Make an appointment tomorrow, I want to see how the girl is first!" ”

"Don't worry, you're satisfied, I just met." Li Huaide said seriously.

"I'm confident that I can do her job well and won't embarrass you."

Jiang Ping'an laughed, got up and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Lao Li, you are very good!" ”

Li Huaide breathed a sigh of relief and laughed as well.

The two smell like each other, and it seems that they are back to the days when they worked together again.

In the evening, Jiang Ping'an asked Qin Jingru to make a table of sumptuous dishes to entertain Li Huaide.

The two reminisced about the past and drank a lot of wine.

"I'm miserable!" Li Huaide said with tears in his eyes.

"Your sister-in-law's dominatrix, you also know, don't talk about being ugly, it's useless to dislike me."

"I originally wanted to take advantage of the limelight to take a few more steps, and then move to the place, and if I have real power, I don't have to rely on my father-in-law."

"But if this person is unlucky, drinking water and stuffing his teeth, so many cultural relics, why are they gone?"

"Okay, once it's gone, I'll make persistent efforts and use 200% of my strength to rob and raid the house."

"But the speed at which I robbed, how fast can anyone steal? It's just a drag, woo woo......"

Speaking of this, Li Huaide cried bitterly and cried, lamenting the injustice of fate.

Jiang Ping'an glanced at the mountains of antique calligraphy and paintings piled up in the space, patted him on the shoulder and comforted:

"Lao Li, everything must look at the money......"
