Chapter 14: Chance Encounter!

A few days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Su Mingzhe has been so busy that he has been flying up in the past few days, and he is constantly looking for a suitable venue to open a café every day.

In the end, I was introduced by an intermediary friend who helped me buy a house, and found a location in the commercial street not far from the Noe Valley community where my home is located.

This location was originally a café, and the original owner was a Korean who planned to return to China in the near future to develop, and then planned to sell this café along with this small building.

This house is a building from the seventies and eighties, the area is not too large, there are two floors, and there are probably more than 300 square meters.

When Su Mingzhe took Wu Fei to see, Wu Fei fell in love at a glance, and Su Mingzhe also signed a contract with the seller.

After some haggling, the transfer fee of the property and the café cost a total of $1.85 million, and Su Mingzhe bought it together.

Today is the first day of the café's redecoration, Wu Fei is a little worried, so she has to take her husband to take a look.

The design drawings of this redecoration were made by Wu Fei herself, and she studied interior design in college!

Su Mingzhe himself didn't plan to make much money from this café, he just wanted his wife Wu Fei to have a career that he was interested in.

When Su Mingzhe and his wife arrived, they parked the car at the door, and after entering, they found that this place had changed a lot.

All the tables, chairs and benches have been cleared, so it looks empty.

When the walls are repainted, new tables and chairs will be purchased.

Wu Fei put forward a lot of opinions to the renovation workers in Chinese, because the decoration team Su Mingzhe was looking for was Chinese, so it was okay to use Chinese.

It's not that Su Mingzhe doesn't trust foreigners, it's mainly that Su Mingzhe doesn't like the way they work, and there are too many things.

After you give him advice, he always gives you inferences, or a Chinese countryman, I will do whatever you say.

The husband and wife, who were busy all day, even ate hamburgers at a nearby fast food restaurant for lunch, and when they got home and entered the door, they found that the nanny Aunt Zheng had already prepared dinner.

Smelling the fragrance of the food, Su Mingzhe and his wife glanced at each other, and they both felt that it was still the fragrance of Chinese food.

The more Su Mingzhe smelled, the more hungry he became, so he quickly took his wife to the bathroom to wash his hands, and sat down at the dining table to eat his food:

"Aunt Zheng, the braised pork you make is really authentic!"

"This sweet and sour pork ribs are also good!" Wu Fei also said praisefully.

Mother Wu looked at the two gobbling up, a little distressed, and hurriedly served a bowl of beef brisket and radish soup to the two:

"You two eat slowly, drink some soup, no one will rob you!"

"How is the decoration of the café and when will it open?"

Su Mingzhe burped and took a sip of soup:

"The overall decoration is not moving, that is, to repaint the walls and replace some tables and chairs, because the environmentally friendly paint is used for six or seven days!"

Mother Wu didn't know much about these things, and the reason why she asked was that she saw that the husband and wife went out early and returned late every day, and they looked very busy, so they cared.

After Su Mingzhe finished eating, he felt that he had eaten a little, so he took his wife, who also ate a lot, out for a walk.

The two walked around their home for a while, and suddenly Su Mingzhe heard as if someone was calling his name.

Su Mingzhe felt that he was hallucinating and shook his head. I just moved here, how can anyone know me?

So he continued to walk forward with his wife, but the further he went, the louder he called his name.

"Mingzhe! Mingzhe! Mingzhe! ”

This time, not only Su Mingzhe heard it, but even his wife Wu Fei heard it.

Su Mingzhe and the others turned around, only to see a figure running over, and they couldn't see who it was.

Wu Fei also felt inexplicable:

"Husband, why did anyone know us as soon as we moved over?"

Su Mingzhe was also a little confused:

"No, I've been busy with café affairs all this time, and I haven't had any chance to get to know my neighbors!"

As the figure ran closer and closer, Su Mingzhe finally saw who it was.

It turned out to be a colleague and friend from the previous company, Lin. Peter.

Su Mingzhe and his wife Wu Fei also walked forward, and the three finally met.

Forest. Pete held Su Mingzhe's shoulder with his hand and gasped:

"Why are you walking so fast, the more I shout behind, the faster you go, I'm almost exhausted!"

"Hello brother and sister, meet again!" Forest. Pete stretched out his hand to greet Wu Fei.

"Hello, Pete!" Wu Fei also gently touched his outstretched hand.

Su Mingzhe was not angry at this time and said:

"Who knew you were here, it's not right, I've been to your house before, and you're not here?"

"My parents are here!" Forest. Pete explained.

"Mingzhe, did you buy the house here?" Forest. Pete asked.

Seeing Su Mingzhe nodding, Lin. Pete glanced at him inexplicably:

"Mingzhe, it seems that you are not telling the truth, this house is not something that can be bought by demolishing and relocation!"

"Hehe, wealth does not leak wealth!" Su Mingzhe said modestly.

Forest. Although Pete is a mixed race and some incomplete Chinese, his grandfather is a traditional old man, so he understands what this sentence means and gives Su Mingzhe a thumbs up.

"Pete, how did you recognize Mingzhe?" Wu Fei stood aside and asked curiously.

Forest. Pete smiled:

"The main thing is that the back is a little similar, and I'm not sure, so I keep calling you!"

"Then what if you admit your mistake!" Su Mingzhe frowned

Forest. Pete said innocently:

"Admit your mistake and apologize, then what else can you do?"

"You're a fucking talent, too!" This sentence Su Mingzhe said this in Chinese.

Hearing her husband's words, Wu Fei stretched out her hand and pinched Su Mingzhe's waist, and also said in Chinese:

"No swearing!"

Forest. Pete said in a hurry:

"Hey, Mingzhe, can we speak English, you know my Chinese is not very good!"

"Of course, I must know that what you just said is not a good thing, and I can understand a little bit!" Forest. Pete hammered Su Mingzhe's chest and said.

"Mingzhe, you and Wu Fei, go to my house and sit together, take you to know my parents, you will be neighbors in the future!"

Forest. Pete invited the two.

Su Mingzhe glanced at his wife, and Wu Fei nodded in agreement.

"Isn't it good to go empty-handed like this?" Su Mingzhe looked at his wife and said in Chinese.

Wu Fei thought for a while and replied in Chinese:

"I have a few bottles of high-end red wine in the car that I bought at the mall before, and I should be able to get it as a gift!"

Su Mingzhe nodded, turned his head to look at Lin. Peter:

"Yes, but you have to go home first, you tell us the address, and Wu Fei and I will visit you later!"

Forest. Pete told Su Mingzhe the house number, and then went back to his parents' house.

Here, Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei also went home, planning to go home and pick up some gifts that they could get their hands on.

After a while, Su Mingzhe and his wife returned home, changed into decent clothes, and stood at the door of Lin's father's house and rang the doorbell.

He also held two bottles of high-end red wine in his hand, and Gaoqiao muffins, a local product of Shanghai, brought by Wu's mother before.

This is Su Mingzhe before listening to Lin. Pete said that his grandfather was also from Shanghai, so Su Mingzhe asked Wu's mother to find out some and specially brought them over for the old man to taste.

After a while, the door opened, and it was Lin. Pete opened the door.

Because Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei are juniors, the others are waiting in the living room.

PS: Conversations in the United States are conducted in English throughout the conversation, only at home conversations will be in Chinese, and other times Chinese will be marked.
