Chapter 115

"Hey, sister, it's New Year's Day, don't make yourself unhappy."

Chen Lanjun just smiled and did not directly answer Feng Jun's question.

Feng Jun frowned and looked outside the house. His parents were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Afraid that the two of them would hear, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Second sister, my attitude is still very firm. I am not optimistic."

But even though he was not optimistic, Feng Jun had no way to deal with Chen Lanjun.

A sister like this, who has money, power and ideas, is impossible to control.

Feng Jun had to reiterate his point of view twice and said, "You must come back before dark," and then let it go.

As soon as she passed the checkpoint, Chen Lanjun went to a public telephone booth and called Shao Qinghe.

Communication here is much more convenient than in Pengcheng City. Someone answered the call shortly after dialing.

"Happy New Year, Ah He."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then a female voice rang out: "Excuse me, is this Alan? I'm Shao Qinghe's cousin, Shao Min, you can also call me Monika."

Chen Lanjun was a little surprised: "Hello."

Monika said gently, "I came back from England to celebrate the New Year and stayed at Ah He's house temporarily. We were invited to attend the Spring Festival Horse Racing Meeting today, and he left early."

“I see.”

That was a bit unfortunate. Chen Lanjun was a little disappointed and said, "I happened to be in Hong Kong today on business and I wanted to meet him if I had time."

Monika smiled ambiguously: "Now that you are here, he will be free anyway. Will you come over later? I will ask someone to call him and inform him of the good news."

Chen Lanjun gave her the phone number of her restaurant and agreed to contact her at noon.

After calculating the time, Chen Lanjun took the MTR line directly to check on her property.

The subway line has been opened to traffic. When you get off a station and walk out, you can see the sign of "Xing Shi Ji".

The store is not big and is right next to the street market. The windows are very clean. Chen Lanjun takes a closer look and sees that there are quite a few customers coming and going.

Because the price is fair and there are many varieties, although the profit is small, we have really achieved high sales.

After inspecting it, Chen Lanjun went to Fengchaji Restaurant. The store had been expanded a little bit, and they rented a room at the back to connect it to the restaurant. It was very popular.

If there are customers waiting for a table, the waiter will come forward with a tray and invite them to have some snacks from Xingshiji, and may also sell some to them.

Chen Lanjun looked around and had an idea in mind.

It seems that my sister is managing these two businesses very carefully.

The digital watch on my wrist showed noon, and the phone in the restaurant office rang.

Just as I took off the receiver, a voice that couldn't suppress its joy reached my ears: "You've arrived in Hong Kong?"

Chen Lanjun smiled and said, "Well, I came here to do some work, and by the way, I wanted to... see you."

There was a brief silence over there, followed by a slight noise, as if the phone receiver was blocked and the person had moved a little further away.

A faint cheer was heard.

This person must have covered the microphone and jumped for joy. Guessing Shao Qinghe's expression at this moment, Chen Lanjun couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "Hey, is the signal bad? I'm hanging up."

"Don't—" Shao Qinghe answered immediately, as if nothing had happened, and said in his usual slightly arrogant voice, "Maybe the signal was bad just now. Are you in your restaurant?"

"yes."

"I am now—"

There were noisy voices of other people over there, saying something.

Shao Qinghe's tone then sounded a little irritated: "Okay, I know."

He said to Chen Lanjun, "I'm sorry, I have a private event later. I promised to attend it before. I may not be able to see you until a little later."

“How long will it take?”

"It might take an hour or two, why don't we have dinner together."

Chen Lanjun remembered that she had promised her sister that she would be back before dark, so she said, "Time may be a little tight, so I'll go find you."

In order to save time, Chen Lanjun called a taxi after hanging up the phone.

She didn't feel anything when she sat down, but once the taxi started, the meter started jumping like a minute hand. Chen Lanjun looked at it and her eyelids twitched.

My goodness, the taxi prices here are really not cheap.

She turned her head away silently and focused her attention on the scenery outside the car window.

The taxi went up the mountain road and stopped.

"Miss, the area in front is blocked off. It should be a private area and you are not allowed to enter," the taxi driver reminded.

Chen Lanjun paid the money and got off the car. Sure enough, the green space in front was surrounded by a wall.

She walked towards the gate, and before she had taken a few steps, she heard someone calling her name.

It was a woman wearing a goose yellow top hat.

"Hello, is this Alan?"

Chen Lanjun recognized this voice. It was Shao Qinghe's cousin, Monica.

Monica came over and looked at her in surprise: "I said, she is really a pretty girl, no wonder that boy kept it a secret."

She led Chen Lanjun inside naturally: "He said you don't want to socialize with those people, you will feel uncomfortable, I will take you to a quiet place."

As you walk along, you're bound to bump into some people.

When several people saw Chen Lanjun, they were stunned. When they glanced at her jeans, a half-smile appeared on their faces.

A little girl who passed by even sneered at her friends: "Look at what she is wearing."

Monica's face darkened and she said to Chen Lanjun, "I'm sorry, some people are really rude."

Chen Lanjun spread her hands indifferently: "It's okay, irrelevant people can't disturb me. Seeing that you are all wearing skirts and top hats, maybe it's a dress code?"

"Yes, it is also based on British rules. You need to wear a formal dress hat."

Seeing Chen Lanjun being so open-minded, Monica liked her even more: "Let's go to the private room upstairs. There won't be these annoying people there."

As expected, the higher you go, the quieter it becomes. Apart from a few well-trained security guards who keep their eyes peeled, there are no other outsiders.

"You sit here for a while, I'll go call Ah He." Monica closed the door with a smile.

The exclusive lounge is bright and clean, with fresh flowers placed in the corners.

Chen Lanjun leaned over to take a look. They were Phalaenopsis and Gladiolus. What a coincidence, they both had the word "Orchid" in their names.

After waiting for a while, the door opened and Chen Lanjun, who was sniffing the fragrance of flowers, looked back.

“You’re here.”

Shao Qinghe, dressed in a formal suit, walked over and took off his hat.

He must have been jogging all the way here, his breathing was a little rapid, he looked at her and said, "Can I hug you?"

Chen Lanjun tilted her head and suppressed her smile: "Maybe."

Shao Qinghe took two steps forward, spread his arms, and held her tightly in his arms.

His embrace was as hot and warm as the afternoon sunlight outside the window.

The fluffy and slightly prickly hair rubbed against her cheek, and her beautiful eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy because of her.

"Okay."

After hugging quietly for a while, Chen Lanjun smiled and took the opportunity to ruffle his hair.

Shao Qinghe let her go: "No."

Having said that, he gave her another hug.
