Chapter 278: Why is there a slap in the face?

This lunch went much more peacefully than the previous one. Su Ran occasionally chatted with Jiang Tiantong, and Jiang Tiantong responded calmly.

Although the atmosphere was not warm, it was much better than the first time when the two of them were at loggerheads with each other.

After lunch, Tang Shuo went to wash the dishes and clean up. After cleaning up, he saw Su Ran and Jiang Tiantong still sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

Tang Shuo had nothing to do in the afternoon. He planned to go to Mingzhu tomorrow, so he decided to stay at home with Su Ran.

But Jiang Tiantong's presence made him helpless. The two women did not speak and were both drinking the tea in the cup very attentively.

Su Ran was born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, a city known for its "skin wrapped in water in the morning, water wrapped in skin in the afternoon" metaphor. Her tea-making skills were honed by renowned teachers. Even Tang Shuo, a tea novices, noticed something different after trying her.

But just drink tea, what's the point of not saying anything?

Tang Shuo poured himself a glass of wine and said to Jiang Tiantong, "Aren't you busy this afternoon?"

Jiang Tiantong turned around and gave Tang Shuo a cold look. Tang Shuo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing.

In fact, Tang Shuo had good intentions. After all, with such a huge family business, how could she not be busy?

During the few days that Jiang Tiantong was with her, she spent almost all her time on work, except for flipping through fashion magazines for entertainment.

But the key point is that Jiang Tiantong doesn't think so. Jiang Tiantong drank the tea in the cup slowly and said, "I'm not busy this afternoon. When are you going to fulfill your promise to me?"

At this time, Su Ran also turned his gaze to Tang Shuo with interest, waiting for Tang Shuo's answer with a smile on his face.

Tang Shuo pretended not to understand, stood up, and looked outside. "When I came back at noon, I saw there were a lot of weeds on the lawn outside the door. I'll go pull them out since I have nothing to do this afternoon."

"The property management department is responsible for these matters." Su Ran said, "Just make a phone call."

"oh."

Tang Shuo's steps faltered. He scratched his head and said, "So that's how it is."

"I can make time anytime." Jiang Tiantong then added, "You can leave now."

Tang Shuo felt as if his heart suddenly stopped. How could one do something like this?

Mentioning this in front of Su Ran, and in front of him, isn't this just to provoke him?

"What's the matter?" Su Ran said with a smile: "Tiantong helped you this time. If you promised her something, then do it quickly."

“…”

Tang Shuo stood there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Could he still tell Su Ran that he was going to take Jiang Tiantong out for a trip?

Jiang Tiantong suddenly stood up and said to Tang Shuo, "I'm leaving first. Remember what you promised me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Tiantong turned around very neatly and walked towards the door in a dashing manner.

Before Tang Shuo could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Aunt Wu, who was standing beside him, say sinisterly, "We haven't seen each other for such a long time. Let's have a few moves. Let's see if you've improved."

"No, no." Tang Shuo shook his head like a rattle and replied hurriedly, "I've been a little tired lately. Let's wait until tomorrow."

He had long noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Aunt Wu's attitude towards him, but thinking of her attitude towards Su Ran, it was inevitable that she would be dissatisfied with him about Su Ran going to Guangyue.

I originally thought that the other party would let me go for the sake of this meal, but I didn't expect that the other party would abandon me. I made this request after the meal.

Just now when they were eating, he had deliberately taken a look and found that apart from him, Aunt Wu ate the most. He even put the dishes that Aunt Wu liked in front of her as if to please her.

Aunt Wu snorted coldly and said, "Come out."

Tang Shuo immediately looked towards Su Ran for help, but Su Ran seemed not to notice. She just smiled at him but didn't say anything.

All this must be because of Jiang Tiantong’s words!

It seems that even the most generous person will get jealous about things like this.

Tang Shuo knew he was doomed, and pitifully said to Aunt Wu, "It's the same as before. We don't use force, but we can't hit her in the face."

Aunt Wu nodded and walked out of the room.

Tang Shuo sighed deeply and followed Aunt Wu out.

Ten minutes later.

Tang Shuo shouted from outside the door, "Didn't you say you wouldn't hit me in the face?"

"It was an accident." Aunt Wu replied.

…

"Why are you slapping me in the face again?" Tang Shuo shouted again.

"I didn't agree to it, so you can't slap me in the face." Aunt Wu replied indifferently.

"You just nodded!" Tang Shuo said angrily.

"Who told you that nodding means you agree?"

“…”

————

Pearl Airport.

As soon as Jesus got off the plane, he ran to catch up with a beautiful tourist walking in front of him and took the initiative to talk to her.

Seeing this, Tang Shuo shook his head helplessly and followed the other person.

After walking out of the airport, Tang Shuo saw Shen Yuqi standing outside the airport and waving to the two of them.

Tang Shuo called out to Jesus, and then the two of them walked towards Shen Yuqi.

Mingzhu is relatively close to Suzhou and Hangzhou, so there are many connections between the two places. Tang Shuo is a newcomer, so naturally he needs someone who is familiar with the local situation to introduce him.

Tang Shuo walked forward and said to Shen Yuqi with a smile, "Thank you for what you did last time."

"It's just a small matter." Shen Yuqi replied with a smile. "Young Master Tang wants to develop in Mingzhu?"

"The economic situation here is better than that in Yanjing. It will be easier to develop if we build more connections." Tang Shuo replied.

"Get in the car." Shen Yuqi opened the car door and said, "I have arranged everything." Come to the Communist Party to fight against talents.

"Thank you for your help." Tang Shuo said.

If someone who doesn't know the inside story saw this scene, they would definitely think that the two were old friends who had known each other for many years. They would never have thought that just a few months ago, the two of them had a grudge against each other because of a broken leg.

Whether or not Shen Yuqi hid his hatred for him well and pretended to be respectful on the surface was not important to Tang Shuo.

As long as he can maintain his momentum of development, Shen Yuqi will have to hide this hatred in the future.

If he ever makes a wrong move and ends up losing everything, there will definitely be many people who will take advantage of him, and Chen Yuqi will be one of them.

After getting in the car, Shen Yuqi began to introduce Tang Shuo to some people in Mingzhu's circle.

Mingzhu's circle is much more independent than Yanjing's. After all, the political atmosphere here is much weaker than that of Yanjing.

Although there are not many people of the same level as Huangfu Yuanzhou and Song Wenchang, there are also some young talents among them.

As they were talking, the car soon arrived downstairs of Mingzhu Banjiang Hotel.

Banjiang Hotel is one of the more famous top hotels in Mingzhu. Its luxury is second to none in the whole of China. This kid Shen Yuqi is indeed very interested in it.

However, for someone who only needs a bed to feel safe, these additional facilities are indeed of little use.

After putting down the luggage, Shen Yuqi asked, "Is there anything else that doesn't fit? I'll find someone to change it."

Tang Shuo walked to the hotel's French window and took in the Huangpu River before him. He turned around and said with a smile, "Very good. There's nothing inappropriate about it."

Jesus nodded, indicating that he had no problem either. "Are there any famous bars around here?"

Chen Yuqi smiled and replied, "There are quite a few bars nearby, all of them are quite famous. But at this time, shouldn't we have lunch first?"

"No need." Tang Shuo shook his head and said, "Just lend me a car. I have something to go out for. As for him, let him handle it on his own."

"Okay, is the car we drove here okay?" Shen Yuqi said, "My cars are all in Suzhou and Hangzhou. If that doesn't work, I can borrow two from my friends."

"Okay." Tang Shuo said.

Chen Yuqi nodded, then made a phone call and said, "It's already been agreed. The driver is waiting for you downstairs. You can bring the driver with you if you need."

"Okay, thank you."

Then Tang Shuo gave Jesus a few words of advice, then went downstairs and drove Shen Yuqi's car towards Xinghai International Community.
