503. Chapter 503 Date

Shen Mingzhu was wondering who this person was when he turned around.

"Mr. Shen."

Shen Mingzhu walked forward, looked Shen Hongmei over, and jokingly said, "You are wearing such beautiful clothes today, do you have a date?"

Shen Hongmei blushed slightly, "Well, Ke'an asked me to go to the movies after get off work."

"Ke'an, that's quite intimate."

Shen Hongmei's face turned even redder. "Oh, stop laughing at me."

Shen Mingzhu held the man and continued to walk towards the office. "Okay, I won't laugh at you. You can leave work an hour earlier this afternoon and go blow dry your hair. It will match your clothes better."

"There's no need. We're just watching a movie, not getting married."

Shen Mingzhu didn't comment, "You decide for yourself."

Shen Hongmei hesitated, "How about I just listen to you and go wash my hair. I was planning to wash it tonight anyway."

Shen Mingzhu laughed and did not expose the fact that Shen Hongmei had washed her hair last night.

She could smell the smell of shampoo from two meters away.

Knock knock.

"Enter."

As the footsteps came closer, the view was filled with a bunch of fragrant red roses.

She raised her head and met Pei Yang's smiling face, and was stunned for a moment.

"Why are you here?"

Pei Yang shook the rose and said, "What do you think?"

Shen Mingzhu took the flowers, held them to her chest and sniffed them, her face showing some joy and happiness, "Why did you think of buying flowers out of nowhere?"

"Isn't today Chinese Valentine's Day? Everyone else has gifts, so of course you should have one too. By the way..."

Pei Yang suddenly bent down and said in an ambiguous tone: "I apologize to you. I accidentally hurt you last night. This will not happen again."

Shen Mingzhu glared at him, stood up and walked to the coffee table, and stuffed the tulips that had already wilted a little on the coffee table and the glass vase into his arms.

"Go throw away the flowers, and wash the bottle and fill it halfway with clean water."

"Yes, sir."

Pei Yang went out with the vase in his arms, smiling.

Shen Mingzhu sat on the sofa, hugged the roses and counted them. She found that there were fifty-two, and her mood became better.

When Pei Yang came back, she unwrapped the wrapping paper and put the roses in the vase.

The vase was full after only half of the flowers were put in. Shen Mingzhu rewrapped the remaining flowers and placed them on the corner of the desk, preparing to take them home after get off work.

After finishing, it was almost lunch time. Shen Mingzhu wanted to go eat with Pei Yang, but Pei Yang got up and left.

"I made an appointment to have lunch with someone from the Communications Bureau. There are rumors that new regulations will be introduced next year to control the communications industry. It will be beneficial to the company to have a good relationship with the people from the Communications Bureau."

After hearing his explanation, Shen Mingzhu's unhappiness at being disappointed instantly disappeared.

She handed the car keys to Pei Yang and said, "You can drive my car and go home to get two bottles of Moutai."

Shen Mingzhu takes out a portion of her savings for investment every year. In addition to buying real estate, she also buys gold and Moutai.

Gold and Moutai are not only hard currencies, but can also be used as betrothal gifts and dowries.

"Thank you, wife."

Pei Yang took out his motorcycle key and exchanged it with her. "Are you busy this afternoon? If not, get off work early. Let's go eat first and then watch a movie. I've already bought the movie tickets for 8 o'clock."

Shen Mingzhu took the car keys and held them in her hand. "My uncle is not here, and you are not here either. What if something happens in the store?"

Pei Yang smiled, "I've already posted a notice. The store will be open until 6 o'clock today. They've been very busy recently. It's rare to get off the early shift so that they can have a break. Singles can also have a chance to date their partners or something."

Shen Mingzhu said, "Then pick up Ziheng and Guoguo after work."

"It's a rare date for us to go out without them."

"There are only two children at home, can you let them play outside without worry?"

"Don't worry, I've already told my sister, she'll be there after work."

After hearing that he had made all the arrangements, Shen Mingzhu said nothing more. She bent down, took out a small handbag from the cabinet and handed it to him.

Pei Yang looked at the things in the bag and asked, "Is it for me?"

Hearing this, Pei Yang happily opened the bag and found a tie.

The navy blue silk fabric with an H pattern looks both business-like and elegant.

Pei Yang admired it and handed her the tie, "Help me tie it."

Shen Mingzhu slapped his hand away, "It's so hot, and you're not wearing a coat, why are you wearing a tie?"

"No matter what, I'm going to fight. I want to go out and show off. This is a gift from my wife."

Shen Mingzhu was speechless, "If you want to take it, just fight it yourself."

Just fight yourself.

Pei Yang walked to the filing cabinet, and with the reflection of the glass door, he turned up the collar of his shirt and tied his tie around it.

"How is it? Is he handsome?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Shen Mingzhu looked up and found that her taste was really good. The color and texture of this tie suited men very well, making them look powerful, calm and steady.

"good."

Pei Yang left happily.

Shen Mingzhu supported her chin and looked at the red roses on the table for a while. She felt inexplicably good.

When she went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, she noticed that many employees were looking at her and whispering.

Shen Mingzhu soon found out the answer.

"Brother Yang is so flirty. He wore the tie you gave him and went around every department. Even Aunt Chen, who washes dishes in the cafeteria, knew that you bought Brother Yang a new tie."

Shen Mingzhu: “…”

This show-off!

"It's all your fault. I told you to come earlier to buy tickets but you didn't believe me. Now look, all the tickets are sold out!"

"Next time, I will definitely buy the tickets in advance next time."

Chu Yinxiu complained dissatisfiedly, but Ma Chao coaxed his wife verbally, but he was very happy in his heart.

He didn't want to watch the movie in the first place.

It’s not that I don’t like it, but I feel bad about the money.

Two movie tickets cost five dollars, which was equivalent to several days' salary for him.

He didn't understand, what's so interesting about this movie? Wouldn't it be better to use the money to buy pork? "Let's go home."

"I finally have some free time. I don't want to go back so early. Let's go shopping. It's been a while since we last went shopping."

Ma Chao's heart tightened.

If you go shopping on the street and see something you like, won’t you spend more?

He was just thinking about how to dissuade his wife from going shopping when he saw Shen Hongmei walking past him.

Shen Hongmei was chatting and laughing with a young man next to her and didn't notice him.

Ma Chao couldn't help but follow Shen Hongmei's eyes.

There is no other reason, Shen Hongmei is just so beautiful today.

Her shoulder-length hair was blown straight and smooth, shining like satin under the light, her lips were painted red, she wore a beautiful printed dress, and white leather shoes on her feet.

"What are you looking at? You've lost your soul when you see a beautiful woman!"

Ma Chao came back to his senses with a pain, met the fiery eyes of his wife, moved his lips, but did not say that he saw Shen Hongmei.

Chu Yinxiu knew about Shen Hongmei's existence. When Shen Hongmei sent him things and money, he hid in the dark and watched her twice. He also once mocked Shen Hongmei in front of him for her low education and being a country girl.

Chu Yinxiu has a city hukou.

This was also one of the main reasons why he chose Chu Yinxiu.

If he married Shen Hongmei, his and Shen Hongmei's children would also be rural people like them.

It was different if he married Chu Yinxiu. His children were born into the city and ate commercial grain.

Every man should know how to choose. (End of this chapter)
