Chapter 68

There is only one class in the morning.

When the bell rang, Chen Lanjun, with her thick black hair, immediately stood up, walked briskly in a pair of slippers, quickly locked her bicycle among the pile of bicycles under the teaching building, climbed on the bicycle, and ran straight to the rental house under the banyan tree.

Pang Xiaopeng arrived earlier than the agreed time, and waited downstairs with Atong, a former educated youth who worked at the Fourth Food Factory. When he saw Chen Lanjun on the bicycle, he waved and said hello: "Sister Lan!"

There was some embarrassment in his voice.

Chen Lanjun honked the horn in response, thinking that this was not the first time they had met, so why was Xiao Peng still feeling a little uncomfortable?

When you get closer, you will understand.

Shao Qinghe was also there, right behind Pang Xiaopeng and Atong.

As soon as Chen Lanjun stopped her car, Pang Xiaopeng came over and asked curiously, "Sister Lan, who is this handsome guy?"

Hearing the word "handsome boy", Chen Lanjun smiled, poked her head out to look at Shao Qinghe, and said, "This handsome boy is... a friend of mine."

Pang Xiaopeng looked at her, then secretly glanced at Shao Qinghe behind him. Such a handsome and generous friend? Well, it seems that he is a good match for her.

So when she walked in, she had a mysterious smile on her face.

Ah Tong didn't understand what was going on, so she took a step forward and was almost shoulder to shoulder with Chen Lanjun and Shao Qinghe. Pang Xiaopeng quickly pulled her over and started to chat with her.

In this way, Chen Lanjun and Shao Qinghe walked side by side. They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they looked a perfect match.

The coal stove in the house still had a little bit of fire left from the previous night, and it was covered with an iron lid. It only needed to be replaced with new coal to burn smoothly. However, there was some coal smoke, which was a little choking.

As soon as Pang Xiaopeng and Atong came in, they were busy getting ready, some getting clothes, some getting shoes polished. Only one person was idle.

Chen Lanjun turned to look at the idler: "Why is Mr. Shao here?"

"You're not asking me to watch a show. As someone who loves fun, I certainly won't miss it." Shao Qinghe said with his hands in his pockets.

"Well, now that you're here, how about helping me with something?"

"As you please."

Chen Lanjun pointed at the coal stove and said, "Please change the coal."

She originally wanted to be funny, but she didn't expect Shao Qinghe to turn around and pick up the coal briquettes without saying a word. His movements were extremely skillful, and not only did they not look funny like a rich young man doing rough work, but instead they felt very smooth.

"Quite skilled?" Chen Lanjun was a little surprised.

Shao Qinghe was bending over to change coal. When he heard this, he raised his thick eyelashes and looked at her with a smile: "You don't really think that I'm a young master who has never touched women."

He stood up and patted the dust off his palms. "When I was a teenager, I had a falling out with my family and lived in a tenement building for a year. I could do ordinary chores."

So that's how it is. Chen Lanjun nodded, feeling a little curious. She wondered what had happened to this person that made him run away from home.

But now is not the right time to reminisce about the past, so she simply admitted readily: "I am indeed narrow-minded."

In the bedroom, Pang Xiaopeng shouted, "Sister Lan, the clothes are ready, you can come and put them on."

"Okay, I'll come."

Chen Lanjun smiled at Shao Qinghe and said, "Please sit down wherever you like. I'll change my clothes."

The dress was brought from Pengcheng City. It was made of crisp knitted fabric and looked very textured. I wore this when I went to discuss cooperation with the street office in an attempt to bully others.

Chen Lanjun put on her skirt, stepped on her high-end shoes, and walked slowly around the room twice before she could walk smoothly.

At this time, Atong knocked on the door: "Sister Lan, the fire tongs are ready."

"Okay, bring it in."

The iron fire tongs were heated to a slight temperature in the stove. Chen Lanjun asked Pang Xiaopeng to hold the fire tongs and carefully perm her hair. Before the use of various hair perming tools, it was very common to use fire tongs to perm hair.

When she got dressed and walked out of the room again, Shao Qinghe was watering the flowers.

Hearing the noise, he looked towards the bedroom, was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything.

Pang Xiaopeng smiled and gently pushed Chen Lanjun forward, asking, "My friend, isn't our sister Lan stunningly beautiful?"

"You are very brave today." Chen Lanjun smiled and pinched her face.

Shao Qinghe raised the corners of his lips, smiled faintly and said: "It's slightly different from the original beauty, but it's still beautiful."

"Of course, I look pretty no matter what." Chen Lanjun raised her chin slightly and said, "I'm mainly going there to discuss business. I don't have a reputation for not relying on clothes. Otherwise, I would look pretty and comfortable in slippers and a T-shirt."

She sat down on a high chair, slightly lifting her high heels, first looked at herself in the mirror, then looked around at the people following her, and said, "Let me check my statement again. My current identity is the general manager of Xiangjiang Zhengmei Company and the younger sister of the chairman.

"Xiao Peng, you are the manager of our company's office in Suicheng. Atong, you are an employee who invited me to come and see if there are any investment opportunities because of the friendship between you and Xiao Peng as educated youth. As for..."

Chen Lanjun looked at Shao Qinghe. Originally, when she went out with her cousin Zhao Hong and others, Zhao Hong was supposed to be assigned a position like a security guard. However, Shao Qinghe was too handsome and had such a great aura. It seemed strange to have him serve as a follower so hastily.

Moreover, Shao Qinghe’s photo had been published in the provincial newspaper. Although the black-and-white photos are very blurry now, what if someone at the Fourth Food Factory recognized him?

With the reputation of Shao Qing and his family group, even if he himself looked down on this kind of fly meat, what if the Fourth Food Factory wanted to rush in? This possibility was not impossible. Chen Lanjun never overestimated the character of some people.

Wouldn't that be making wedding clothes for others? No, no.

She thought about it, and slowly said to Shao Qinghe: "Mr. Shao, since we are watching a play, are you interested in being an immersive spectator?"

"It's all up to you."

Chen Lanjun took out a gauze mask from the drawer with a smile. This was the protective equipment distributed when she enrolled in school, and she had never used it yet.

"It would be no fun if Mr. Shao was recognized. Why not wear a mask?"

Shao Qinghe said: "Okay, can you help me bring it?"

"OK."

Chen Lanjun walked towards him with a mask in hand and stood on tiptoe. This guy was so tall, probably about 1.8 meters, and it was still difficult for her to put a mask on him.

Shao Qinghe curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

Chen Lanjun glared at him and ordered, "Bend your knees and be lower."

Shao Qinghe deliberately straightened his back.

"Shao-Qing-He!"

Amid the giggles of Pang Xiaopeng and Atong, Shao Qinghe finally knelt down and obediently let Chen Lanjun put on the mask for him.

After putting on the mask, Shao Qinghe only showed a pair of eyes. Although he still looked very beautiful, at least he didn't look that eye-catching at first glance.

It's still sloppy like this, Chen Lanjun thought, I can't let him take the spotlight.

Shao Qinghe looked at her with smiling eyes and said in a deep and mellow voice: "So, General Manager Chen, who am I to you?"

Chen Lanjun smiled and said, "You, of course, are my chief assistant, Chief Assistant Shao?"

"Assistant Su, this is my mother's last name." Shao Qinghe corrected, "General Manager Chen, I am your Assistant Su."
