Chapter 21: Step by Step

The street scenery of Maochuan has a gentle and lovely scenery unique to the south, even if it is cold, it is also a little romantic.

Sui Anli and Jiang Chengzhou walked side by side, she glanced sideways at the person next to her, and she actually had a feeling that the years were quiet.

Neither of them talked much, and after talking about their respective situations, they didn't know what to say.

Walking silently, I didn't feel embarrassed, maybe it was too familiar.

Although Mokawa is small, there is a lot of food, and most of the restaurants on both sides of the street are located.

Jiang Chengzhou saw her looking around as she walked, and subconsciously pulled her inside and switched places with her.

Sui Anli looked at the vehicles coming and going on his side, and knew it in his heart.

Looking up at him, he asked, "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Jiang Chengzhou put his hands in his pockets and his posture was comfortable.

"I'm not a picky eater, we can eat whatever you want."

Sui Anli works to make people forget her age, but in private she is about the same as girls of the same age.

Since she and Jin Ling have eaten hot pot together, they often talk about how to eat it in private, as if they are developing in the direction of foodies.

Hearing Jin Ling say that a new kimchi national restaurant had opened nearby, and it tasted amazing, she subconsciously looked up and looked for the store.

After looking around, I found my target diagonally across the road.

She patted Jiang Chengzhou, pointed to the opposite side and said:

"Let's go over there for dinner, let's cross the street quickly."

They were still some distance from the zebra crossing, and now that the light was green, in order to save time, Sui Anli planned to run directly over to them.

As soon as she moved, she was stopped by Jiang Chengzhou.

"Don't worry, let's walk over slowly, run over and pour the wind and you'll cough again."

Sui Anli didn't expect him to remember this, she liked to run behind her cousin when she was a child.

Once, because he had a cold, he was sweating on his body, and because he was drinking the wind, he coughed non-stop, so he could see it.

Sui Anli couldn't laugh or cry, she raised her head and explained softly:

"Brother Chengzhou, I coughed because of a cold and sweating at that time, and I am not usually so delicate."

Jiang Chengzhou was stunned for a moment, he turned his head slightly, and said calmly: "Then you don't have to run, there are many cars on the road."

After such a delay, it has already turned into a red light, and there is no need to run, just walk slowly.

She broke free of Jiang Chengzhou's hand, Jiang Chengzhou looked down, but didn't say anything.

When I crossed the street and arrived at the store, I found that there were many people waiting in line.

Luckily, there were only two of them, and there were two tables that were empty.

As soon as he entered the inner room, Jiang Chengzhou first pulled out a stool for Sui Anli and put up the coat she had taken off before letting her sit down.

This is the first time Sui Anli has gone out to eat alone with him, and before in Yanjing, the contacts between the two were under the noses of the elders.

Sui Anli handed the menu to Jiang Chengzhou.

"You can order whatever you like, there is no upper limit, I have a treat."

She was in a relaxed state, and there was nothing throbbing or uncomfortable.

Jiang Chengzhou pushed her over again, and said with a smile:

"You also know that my life is monotonous and boring, and my food requirements are not high, and I don't know what is delicious, so you should order food."

Sui Anli was not polite, took the menu, and said while choosing the dishes:

"My colleague said that the army hot pot here tastes great, as well as grilled mushrooms and pork belly, how about we try this cuttlefish sausage again?"

Sui Anli is a little different when he gets along with him alone, and when he is with everyone, Sui Anli is always light.

She doesn't seem to have anything she particularly likes, and she doesn't seem to have any special dislikes, and she doesn't seem to be in a good mood for anything.

Unexpectedly, in private, she was so vivid, and her ability was stronger than he expected.

Jiang Chengzhou took the dishes and chopsticks sent by the waiter, scalded them with boiling water, and then handed them to Sui Anli intimately.

And he scalded the cup of water for her, and poured water for her.

As the object of service, Sui Anli has not changed much, and he enjoys the process of being taken care of.

Although there are many customers in the restaurant, there are also many waiters, who quickly serve the dishes they ordered, and there are special waiters to help with the barbecue, so they can enjoy the food to the fullest.

The steaming army hot pot, the soup base gurgling, the boiled soft noodles with brushed cheese, Sui Anli has a kind of happiness healed by food.

Jiang Chengzhou saw that she was eating happily, and his appetite increased unconsciously.

After taking a bite of noodles, Sui Anli felt that the trip was worth it, and she sandwiched a baked mushroom.

I don't know if it's cheese or cheese on the top of the mushroom, but it's roasted, and it's mixed with the flavor of the mushroom, and it's really delicious in one bite.

Her expression of enjoyment was too obvious, and Jiang Chengzhou was not immune to her influence, who was not very hungry, but also experienced the fun.

The two drank fruit wine, ate barbecue, and occasionally exchanged a few words.

Even the trace of embarrassment when they first met was gone, and Sui Anli was ready to drink, so the car didn't drive.

By the time the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, it was already dark.

I sweated when I ate, and when the wind blew, it was indescribably cool.

Jiang Chengzhou saw her coat open, and silently stepped forward to button her clothes for her.

"Alternating between hot and cold is the most susceptible to colds, and one should take care of oneself."

Sui Anli was a little unaccustomed to it, and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Jiang Chengzhou did not flinch.

"I'm going to learn to take care of you, and you're going to have to get used to my presence."

Sui Anli can't say no, the Jiang family is the top chaebol family in Yanjing, and the Sui family is also a scholarly family that has been passed down from generation to generation, and the two old men are close friends and have always planned to marry.

However, both families gave birth to sons, and when they arrived in Sui Anli's generation, it happened that their mother was a best friend, and the marriage hit it off, and everyone agreed.

Sui Anli had no room to refuse, she didn't dislike Jiang Chengzhou, but she didn't have too many other feelings.

It may not be a bad thing to get along now.

She turned her gaze to the nearby streetscape and changed the subject:

"Before I moved, I wanted to treat my colleagues to a meal, what do you think?"

Jiang Chengzhou nodded in agreement.

"Yes, they cooperate with your work, you should say goodbye to them if you want to leave, but unfortunately I can't stay for a long time, at most I can stay for another day, or you arrange dinner tomorrow night, I will leave early the day after tomorrow, and the ticket should be rebooked."

Sui Anli didn't want to trouble him.

"I can still cope with it alone, you can be busy with your work with peace of mind, it doesn't matter."

Jiang Chengzhou was not reluctant.

"Then I'll pay for the dinner party, this card is for you, it's all my salary and bonuses and other money, and there are other assets in the back, and I'll hand them over to you after marriage."

He said it calmly, but Sui Anli felt a little hot, and she was a little hesitant whether to take it.

Jiang Chengzhou didn't give her a chance to refuse, directly stuffed the card into her hand, and said with a smile:

"You just take it, don't feel embarrassed, I know you're not bad for money, but this is what I should do, since I accepted the marriage, I should slowly cultivate my feelings."

Sui Anli pinched the card, and finally put it in her bag, she lowered her head and walked forward, and said in a muffled voice:

"All my energy is on work now, and I want to make a difference before I get married."

Jiang Chengzhou said as a matter of course:

"Your idea is correct, I think it's a good thing, I'm busy and my feet don't touch the ground, it's impossible to be by your side all the time, even after marriage, you can work, I won't have any obstacles."

Jiang Chengzhou is different from his brother, he does not have a heavy family burden, and his wife does not need to take on too many responsibilities.

Sui Anli was really worried about this, when she was going to come out to work, her grandfather fiercely objected, and just wanted her to wait for her to be a young grandmother.

Now that Jiang Chengzhou said this, she seemed to have someone to support her, and she laughed unconsciously.

"Then I don't have to be in such a hurry, I'm still worried, you think the same way as my grandfather."

Jiang Chengzhou shook his head.

"There is no problem with work, my only request is that we can live together as much as possible after marriage, and your place of work should be in Yanjing, do you think it's okay?"

Who is married and wants to put their beautiful daughter-in-law outside, Jiang Chengzhou is naturally possessive.

Sui Anli felt that such a request was not too much, and she said with a smile:

"I plan to do the same, after all, my family is in Yanjing, and I don't want to not see them for a long time."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and in this way reached a consensus, which also reduced many unnecessary contradictions in the future.

Sister Zhou is living with Sui Anli now, and she was startled when she suddenly saw her bring a young man back.

When he learned that he was the one who paid his salary, he immediately became enthusiastic.

I made the bed in the guest room neatly, and I didn't bother when I saw the two talking in the living room.

Jiang Chengzhou came with great sincerity, he was actually not good at words, but he still coaxed Sui Anli to talk to him, watching the show directed by her, and the two chatted until more than ten o'clock unconsciously.

If I hadn't had to catch a flight in the morning, I wouldn't have wanted to sleep.

When Sui Anli got up the next day, Jiang Chengzhou had already left.

There was also a note on the table that he had left on purpose, and he didn't write much, only that he got off the plane and called her.

This is barely the first date between the two, not very good, but it is much better than expected.

Sui Anli put down her personal affairs, and as soon as she returned to the TV station, she informed everyone that she was going to transfer her job.

Everyone was surprised, and Sister Lan was even more reluctant.

"Director Sui, it's not easy for us to make some achievements, if you leave, won't we go back to our original shape."

Sui Anli said helplessly: "You underestimate yourself too much, you don't lack ability, as long as you dare to think wildly and have the courage to do it, it is impossible not to succeed."

She said it firmly and confidently, Xiao Zhan's face was full of lost soul, he knew that she would leave sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

He Fan said without hesitation:

"Since you're leaving, then I'm going to resign too, I'm going to work behind you."

Sui Anli didn't stop him, anyway, there will be no shortage of job opportunities around her.

She smiled and said to everyone, "I'll invite everyone to dinner tomorrow night, and I hope everyone will come over when they're free."

"Director Sui is a treat, we are definitely going, congratulations to Director Sui!"
