The news of Wen Qi and Qi Yanli's marriage contract did not spread immediately, and Grandma Wen thought that she would wait for the two to meet in person this weekend before making plans.

But Grandma Qi said that Qi Yanli was going on a business trip on the weekend, and Grandma Wen couldn't help but be depressed, Wen Qi had a lot of classes during the week, and the only free Sunday was Qi Yanli who was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, so the meeting plan, the two grandmothers pushed it again and again.

Wen Ji was shocked and helpless to hear that Grandma Wen made a marriage contract for her that night, and the next morning, her best friend Jiang Ruyin, who was familiar with her, inquired about the person Qi Yanli.

Jiang Ruyin's family is in Ningcheng, her father and brother are in business, and she is the eldest lady of Ningcheng, and she is familiar with the affairs of Ningcheng's upper circle, but now that she is on vacation abroad, the two can't meet.

As soon as Wen Qi asked her here, Jiang Ruyin immediately sent a minute-long voice message, which was enough to show that Qi Yanli's reputation in Ningcheng was resounding.

The most repeated words in that voice Jiang Ruyin was a monk, and therefore, Wen Qi's first impression of Qi Yanli was that he was a Buddhist child who escaped into the empty door without being close to women, but Grandma Wen said that Qi Yanli had his own career, so when the words of the two were combined, Qi Yanli was not a real monk, he simply did not love women.

After learning about Qi Xianli's temperament, Wen Qi didn't take this new fiancé to heart, if she didn't love women, she wouldn't bother her frequently, and she wouldn't take the initiative to provoke him, so this marriage contract only existed in name for her, and she didn't need to take time to maintain.

At this point, Wen Qi was actually relieved.

Her studies, family and embroidery took up almost all of her time, and she didn't have much time to fall in love with a new fiancé.

In the next few days, Qi Yanli was really as temperamental as Jiang Ruyin said, he was not interested in her, he didn't add her WeChat friends, and he didn't take the initiative to ask her to meet, and a week later, Wen Ji really left this new fiancé behind.

On Friday, after the first class in the afternoon, Wen Qi planned to go to the embroidery workshop.

Wen Qi didn't have a car at the moment, so he took a taxi to Xiuchun Street.

Xiuchun Street is located in the old town of Ningcheng, where most of the buildings were built decades ago, with mottled walls, old streets, and particularly tall buildings that have been demolished by the government as dangerous houses, and the ruins have not been re-planned, making the old town even more chaotic.

The old town is not all old and dilapidated, Xiuchun Street is a unique spring and Jingming.

The green trees here are shady, the sun is exposed to the antique two-story buildings, the small bridges and flowing water, and the lanterns are hung high in every house.

Wen Qi got off at the intersection of Xiuchun Street and walked on a small bridge that was old for a long time, there were many old ladies from nearby families basking in the sun by the river, and when they saw Wen Qi coming, they waved their fans and greeted Wen Qi, "Boss Xiao Wen is here again." ”

Since she was fifteen years old, Wen Qi came here for the first time in place of her mother as the owner of the embroidery workshop, and the old lady of Xiuchun Street had an impression of her, but she was too young and looked too beautiful, not like the material of the boss, but more like a doll in the window.

In the past three years, Wen Qi flew over from Shucheng from time to time, and the old ladies here had to jokingly shout "Little Boss Wen", Wen Qi felt ashamed at first, and he should not be called this name, but now he has heard it countless times, Wen Qi's face has been exercised little by little, and those old ladies shouted, Wen Qi smiled and responded.

"It's all sunbathing here." Wen Qi smiled and nodded.

An old lady asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you are eighteen this year, have you been admitted to college?" ”

"I was admitted, grandma, and now I am studying at university in Beilin." Wen replied.

The old lady looked at Wen Qi's unapplied but swaggering face like a hibiscus, and she said greedily: "Have you got a boyfriend?" My grandson is also studying in college in Beilin this year, and he is a sophomore studying law, but he is handsome, otherwise I will draw a line for the two of you? ”

When Wen Qi was about to find an official refusal, a rather sharp voice sounded one step ahead of her, "I said that you old ladies have nothing to do every day, right?" If you have nothing to do, go find a net pocket for the garbage in the river and make contributions to our Xiuchun Street, don't pull the red line with our boss here! ”

"Manager Cui, you're in too much control!" The old lady said almost in unison.

Cui Mian took a few steps over and pulled Wen Qi's arm, ignored the group of old ladies, and walked straight away with Wen Qi.

Wen Qi had to wave politely at the group of old ladies as he walked, "If there is something in the store, I won't greet you." ”

At the end of the bridge, turn left and walk fifty meters is a shop, the plaque of the shop is rosewood, and two big characters are written on it with hot stamping, called [Jing Nian], which is the embroidery workshop left by Wen Qi's mother Ji Xue.

Wen Ji was directly pulled into the store by Cui Mian, and Cui Mian also lowered the bead curtain outside the gate, blocking the sight of the group of old ladies on the other side of the bridge.

Cui Mian said: "You shouldn't be kind to those old ladies, don't look at them smiling at you, you like to chew the gossip of twenty-five girls who haven't married yet." ”

Wen Qi was curious, "What did you hear, why did you suddenly annoy those old ladies so much." ”

Cui Mian said: "The sugar water shop opposite our store doesn't have a daughter, people don't go home often when they study in graduate school, their group of old ladies directly said that the daughter is not a junior in the field, and she has not come back to marry when she is twenty-five, and said that looking at the daughter's ass, it seems that she has given birth to a child or something, she is really speechless, don't talk to them anymore, be careful that you are also arranged by them." ”

Wen Qi smiled and said, "Got it." ”

Cui Mian was even more annoyed when she saw her laughing, she pointed to the thirty pieces of fabric piled up in the open space of the store, and said, "Why are you still laughing?" I called to find it, and I also went to his factory to block him, he insisted that it was Xiangyun yarn, I said that I wanted to sue for a lawsuit, and he also said that he would accompany him to the end, I think he just wants to tear up the contract and don't want to cooperate with us anymore! ”

Wen Ji smiled, walked to the pile of fabrics and squatted down, touched the cloth, it was indeed not Xiangyun yarn, but polyester artificial silk fabric, the two seemed to be no different, but the feel was very different.

Cui Mian sat on the soft stool in front of the front desk, and she said: "Why, we don't have a few pieces of cloth in the warehouse, and if the goods don't arrive in early October, those embroiderers won't be able to work at all." I really don't understand why Chen Dongao suddenly planned to tear up the contract, hasn't it been good before? ”

"I'll ask Uncle Chen." Wen Qi said, took out his mobile phone from his bag, clicked on Chen Shi's WeChat account, edited a message and sent it over.

Cui Mian said: "It's useless for you to ask his father, now the factory is in charge of Chen Dongao, and he probably relies on the fact that the liquidated damages written in our previous contract are not high, so he dares to be so rampant." ”

Wen Ji didn't speak.

Back then, Ji Xue opened an embroidery workshop to pass the time after marriage, and secondly, to support a group of embroidery girls left by her mentor.

Supplier Chen Shi is one of them, he and Ji Xue are alumni, because there is a factory at home, knowing that Ji Xue needs fabrics, and is willing to provide Ji Xue with fabrics at the lowest price, and later as the embroidery workshop gradually runs normally, Ji Xue and Chen Shi went through the formal process to sign a contract, because they are friends, and Chen Shixue sent charcoal in the snow, Ji Xue found a lawyer to draw up the contract, so the liquidated damages are not high.

Chen Shi quickly replied to the message.

Uncle Chen: [Now the factory is in charge of the Winter Olympics, Uncle called him and asked, don't worry. 】

Wen Ji replied with a "hmm], then pushed open the door to the backyard, and asked Cui Mian as he walked, "Has the silk cloth been driven out this month?" ”

Cui Mian followed, "I can get out on the 30th, but it won't be possible next month." ”

The backyard is not open-air, but a 100-square-meter workshop, where thirty embroiderers work on weekdays, but today the embroidery workshop is on vacation, and the workshop is quiet now.

Wen Qi said: "I want to find a way to deal with the cloth, and the silk cloth to be handed over at the end of next month cannot be broken." ”

"It's not just cloth." Cui Mian frowned, "I only found out today, and I thought I would tell you when you came." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Xiuchun Street at the end of the street that opened a new embroidery workshop, named Donghe, their family wants to dig our embroidery girl at a high price, it is said to be a salary of 30,000 yuan per month, I heard Xiao Miao said, there are a few embroidery girls these days are not good to work, work is not concentrated, I am afraid that they are sure to change jobs, we will not be able to supply the goods next month."

Xiao Miao is a handyman in the store, she does everything, and she runs in both places in the backyard of the store, she said so, that is true.

Wen Qi said: "You send the names, contact information and home addresses of those embroidery girls who may change jobs to my WeChat, and I will communicate and take a look in the past two days." ”

As he was talking, a message came in from WeChat, and Wen Qi looked down at it, it was sent by Chen Shi.

Uncle Chen: [Uncle, I can't contact the Winter Olympics now, it's raining in Ningcheng these days, and my uncle is out of town now, are you in a hurry? ] If I'm in a hurry, I'll fly back to him tonight. 】

Chen Shi broke his leg in a car accident two years ago, and finally picked it up, but he fell into a painful disease every rainy day, so the factory was handed over to Chen Dongao for management early, and now he should go to the field to recuperate in order to avoid the rain in Ningcheng.

It's not good to trouble him, a person with weak legs and feet, to run around for her business.

Wen Qi: [Uncle Chen, you send me Brother Dongao's community, I'll just go find it, don't run around. 】

Chen Shi sent a community location, followed by a few messages.

Uncle Chen: [Not in the community, he stayed all night at his friend's newly opened bar, which is called Zuishengmen. 】

Uncle Chen: [If you go to the bar, find a friend to go with, don't go alone, it's not safe for a girl.] 】

Uncle Chen: [The matter of fabric, if the Winter Olympics bastard doesn't care, don't worry, Uncle will find a way for you. 】

Wen Ji thought for a while and replied to Uncle Chen: [Well, thank you, Uncle Chen. 】

She didn't stay in the store for long, and after Chen Shi's reply, she left the embroidery workshop and took a taxi to Chen Dongao's community.

Cui Mian was going to follow, but there were a few little girls in the store who watched Su embroidery, Cui Mian wanted to close the store, Wen Qi didn't let her close it, these embroideries in the store were all made by the embroidery girl during non-working hours, and the money from the sale was also owned by the embroidery girl. Most of the embroidery girls in the store have not yet married, and Wen Qi thinks that they can earn a little more money for themselves.

After communicating with the doorman of the community, I entered the community, and when I arrived at Chen Dongao's house, it was the aunt who opened the door, saying that Chen Dongao was not at home.

The embroidery workshop was a two-hour journey to here, but it turned out to be a run in vain, Wen Qi's physical strength was exhausted, and people went downstairs in wilts.

When I arrived outside the gate of the community, I cheered up and took a taxi to Zuishengmen.

When I arrived at the bar, it was already half past eight at night, and the nightlife had not officially begun, but there were many people in the bar.

Maybe it's not time yet, and instead of heavy metal music that stimulates eardrums, the bar lobby is playing a very soothing English song.

Wen Qi looked around the hall, and there was no figure of Chen Dongao on the scattered platform and the booth, but there were more and more people in the hall, and they had to rub shoulders when they passed by.

She squeezed out of the crowd and stood under the railing of the second floor, her forehead already sweating, her eyes wandering the crowded halls, her brows inevitably furrowed.

There is no scattered platform, no booth, only the upstairs box.

But if you don't have a purpose, you can't knock on the door one by one.

As for asking about the marketing of the box, Wen Ji didn't even think about it, the bar is like a hotel, there are a lot of people who come to catch rapes and catch ladybugs, and asking marketing is like asking the hotel front desk where her husband sleeps in a lady, marketing will only laugh and laugh for business.

Wen Qi frowned and thought for a while, and slowly had an idea in his mind to find someone.

She spotted a marketing player wandering on the dance floor, and saw that the costume should be the chief foreman, Wen Ji didn't look for it, but first found a waiter with wine and asked what the marketing name was.

The waiter looked at him and said, "Vikas, our foreman." ”

"Thank you." Wen Qi thanked him, walked straight to Vikas, patted him on the shoulder, and saw Vikas turn around, Wen Qi smiled and said, "Hello, you are Vikas, I am the girl who is accompanying Chen Dongao in the wine group, he said that he came to you directly." ”

Chen Dongao often hangs in bars, and he is single, so he will definitely not drink dry when he comes here to drink, and it is estimated that it is common to find a wine lady to accompany him.

Vikas glanced at Wen Qi, with a little surprise in his eyes, there are only a handful of girls who have come to the bar without makeup these years, not to mention that this is more beautiful without makeup than with makeup, the girl in front of him is very plain and pure, he touched his chin and said, "Box 101 on the third floor, Mr. Chen is inside, you can go over." ”

It's done! Wen Qi smiled and thanked him, "Thank you." ”

As she was about to leave, Vikas stopped her again, his eyes on her for a moment, and he asked, "Which one is the wine group?" What's your group's name? ”

"......" has obviously informed her of Chen Dongao's box number, so it is not to suspect her of falsification, asking her to accompany the wine group and the nickname in the group is nothing more than lust, and I want to order "her" to accompany the wine in the follow-up, Wen Ji is not annoyed, only said: "Chen Dongao knows, you will ask him later, sorry, I am in a hurry, I have to deduct money if I am late, goodbye." ”

As she spoke, Wen Ji bypassed Vikas to stop her arm, not wanting to waste any more time, and trotted to the stairs on the second floor.

was running, and suddenly someone behind her called her name, "Wen Qi!" Wen Qi! Wow! ”

The bar is still the soothing English song in the single loop, and Wen Qi clearly identified that the female voice is Jiang Ruyin, who is currently playing abroad and doesn't know when she will come back.

Could it be that Jiang Ruyin returned to China today?!!

She stopped in surprise, turned around and looked for the voice just now to find someone, at this moment, Jiang Ruyin shouted her again, it was on the inside of the card platform on the second floor, Wen Qi looked over, and saw Jiang Ruyin standing, waving her hands excitedly, and looking at her with her eyebrows.

Wen Qi's eyes widened in surprise, a pair of clear apricot eyes were watery, she also stepped on her feet and waved an arm, her long hair that was not tied up hung down on the back of her head and swayed left and right with the movement of her hand, she shouted happily, "Yin Yin!" ”

Ten minutes ago.

Several rich boys sat down on the second floor of the card platform, the first to sit down was a man with dyed white hair and black T, he sat down and shook Erlang's legs, with a cigarette in his hand, squinting and frowning and looking not far away, looking unfathomable.

After he sat down, he glanced at the white-haired man, took a glass of wine on the coffee table, raised his head and took a sip, and then said slowly: "Shake your legs and break your fortune." ”

"......" Tang Ju instantly pressed his Erlang's leg with his hand holding the cigarette, and the unfathomable profundity he pretended to be just now collapsed in a second, and he said in horror: "Grass! Says who! Recently, Lao Tzu's bank cards have been suspended, and if you break the money again, you will have to sleep on the street tonight! ”

Gu Lin said calmly: "What the Internet master said, this matter, if you believe it, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it." ”

"Count the ball, Lao Tzu Xin! Lao Tzu has even visited the God of Wealth Temple twice recently! ”

Gu Lin laughed, "The eldest young master of the Tang family has been so poor recently, I can't help you as a poor doctor, you wait for Qi Er to come, and let him leak some oil and water between your fingers, which is enough for you to live happily for a year." ”

"You want to say this? Otherwise, why should I invite my second brother to this whole scene tonight? I'm not a casual bar-to-bar guy right now. Tang Ju felt the money for the table for a moment, then remembered something, and sat down beside Gu Lin again, he whispered and gossiped: "Did you hear your family talk about it?" ”

Gu Lin squinted at him, "What?" ”

Tang Ju's eyes widened, and he still said in a low voice, "Don't make a noise about this, it hasn't been spread yet, saying that the second brother has a fiancée, and he is still the top student in this year's college entrance examination, and he is still beautiful. ”

Gu Lin didn't believe it, and continued to sip the wine slowly, "What kind of gossip did you listen to?" Will Qi Er agree to get engaged? You might as well say that your dad abdicates tonight and makes it reliable for you, a loser, to inherit the group. ”

"Really! Don't believe it! Tang Ju's voice couldn't help but raise a little, but seeing Gu Lin's still unbelieving appearance, Tang Ju hurriedly said: "If you don't believe it, you wait for the second brother to come, you ask in person!" ”

Gu Lin saw that Tang Ju was so sure, he was a little suspicious, and he said, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"My grandma! You know, my grandma has a good relationship with Grandma Qi! ”

Gu Lin believed eight points at this moment, "Who is that girl?" ”

Tang Ju: "I don't know about this, but it's not a big problem, I'll ask the second brother later, he will definitely not hide this kind of thing from us." ”

As he was talking, Qi Xianli walked over from the staircase, he was still wearing a shirt and trousers, and he was carrying a blazer in his big hands, obviously coming directly from the company.

Tang Ju shouted, "Second brother! Over here! ”

Qi Xianli lifted his eyes and glanced at Tang Ju, and when he arrived at the card table, he threw the suit jacket to Tang Ju's side, and the person also sat down on the sofa, his back naturally leaned against the sofa, tilted his head slightly and closed his eyes, pinched his eyebrows with one hand, and said in his mouth: "There is a card in the right pocket of the coat, and the password is six zeros, and the money in it is enough for you to live for a while." ”

Tang Ju immediately went to the card, and the moment he touched the bank card, Tang Ju almost cried bitterly, he was stopped by his family for a while, he was thrifty in food, clothing, and transportation, and all the entertainment consumption next to him was stopped, he became a dead otaku for a while, "Second brother!" Woo woo good brother! ”

Qi Xianli sat up, glanced at Tang Ju, got up to get the wine glass on the coffee table, and reminded: "Uncle Tang, you go and apologize as soon as possible." ”

"I don't-" Tang Ju roared, and before he could finish yelling, Qi Yanli glanced at him, and continued: "I don't want to be tired and tired in the company, and I have to waste time drinking tea and playing chess with your father when I go home." ”

Saying that, Qi Yanli took out his mobile phone and threw it on the coffee table, so that Tang Ju could see it, "Now your father is already waiting at my house." ”

Tang Ju went to see it, and saw that the WeChat message sent by his father's avatar to Qi Xianli in the opposite frame was: [Wanton, are you off work? Uncle is already waiting for you at your house, yesterday's chess game is not over, and I will come again tonight to ask for advice. 】

is called a chess game, but in fact, it is to disturb Qi Yanli, and let Qi Yanli persuade Tang Ju to go home and admit his mistakes, how can Tang Ju not understand.

Gu Lin laughed out loud on the side, and then said, "Ju, go home, don't let you see your father's face every day." ”

"Why is my dad like this!" Tang Ju was extremely speechless.

Gu Lin took out his cigarette case and said, "Your father can't find you, so you can't go around to find Qi Er." ”

Tang Ju rubbed his short hair irritably, "Grass! Forget it, second brother, I'll go back to my dad tomorrow to talk to him, so that he won't bother you again. ”

Gu Lin poured out three sticks from the cigarette case and handed them to Tang Ju and Qi Xianli respectively, Qi Xianli used to be a non-smoker, but recently the company has been busy, no matter how good the spirit is, it is like a splash, and now it is not easy to rest for a while, he took the cigarette, borrowed Tang Ju's fire, lit it, and leaned on the sofa and spit out two thin cigarettes.

In the mist, Qi Xianli's handsome and cold face loomed.

Gu Lin glanced over and saw that Qi Yanli actually smoked cigarettes today, could it be that he was forced to marry too tightly by his family?

He glanced at Tang Ju, Tang Ju understood, and immediately moved to the sofa where Qi Yanli was sitting, and he shouted, "Second brother, I want to ask you something." ”

Qi Yanli lowered his eyes and looked at Tang Ju, "Say." ”

Tang Ju whispered, "I heard that you are engaged, and your fiancée is still a smart and beautiful female college student, right?" ”

Qi Yanli's brows moved slightly, this time was too busy, Grandma Qi saw that he was constantly on business, and knew that he couldn't spare time, so she didn't mention meeting Wen Qi, so that he almost forgot that he also had an unmasked fiancée, and now Tang Ju mentioned it, he remembered, but he didn't react, and his tone was flat "um".

This "um" was no less than a thunderclap on the ground, Tang Ju blinked vigorously, and Gu Lin also sat down a little in shock, so that he could hear the news of the bomb clearly.

Tang Ju couldn't help but be curious, "Is she beautiful?" Second brother, would you agree? So isn't it really, really, really pretty? ”

"......" Qi Xianli thought of the high-frequency words in Grandma Qi's mouth about praising Wen Qi, it seemed that there was a beautiful one, and he responded with little interest, "It should be...... Pretty? ”

"......" Tang Ju glared, what should it be! Pretty is beautiful, not beautiful is not beautiful, what's so good about this, or is it that in the eyes of his second brother who doesn't love women, all girls are the same, so there is no reference, thinking that as long as girls are beautiful, just thinking about it, Tang Ju only felt that a fair-skinned, big-eyed, soft-haired girl floated in front of him, grass! Peerless beauty!

Tang Ju didn't react, and immediately stretched out his hand to point at the girl to show Qi Yanli, "Compared with this beauty, is she beautiful or is her fiancée beautiful?" ”

Qi Xianli didn't even look at it, and said, "My fiancée is beautiful." ”

As soon as the words fell, a thin but loud female voice broke through the soothing music of the bar and fell on Qi Yanli's eardrums, and he heard the female voice shouting, "Wen Qi! ”

Qi Xianli subconsciously lifted his eyes, and before Tang Ju's arm could be put down, he saw that the girl Tang Ju was pointing at suddenly turned around and turned back to find someone.

When he was looking for someone, the snow-white face was facing him.

Separated from a distance not far or near, with a light that is not bright or dim, Qi Xianli can see people clearly.

The apricot eyes contain clear pools, and the cheeks are like hibiscus faces.

The surprise in his eyes and the girlish aura in his bones almost rushed to his face.

Indeed—

Beautiful, first-class.

Qi Yanli didn't have any defense, and subconsciously fell into Wen Qi's apricot eyes that didn't look at him.

Something burned his fingertips, Qi Xianli looked down at it, and saw that the cigarette he had just lit had unconsciously burned to the end, and the flickering sparks almost burned his thumb out of the bubble, and he didn't realize it.
