Ruan Qiqi came to the school to find Gan Defa in the afternoon. She had to go back to Tanzhou and came to tell him that, mainly regarding the United States, he must strictly control his subordinates and not let the goods flow back. They could only be sold abroad.
Gan Defa was sitting in the office, laughing foolishly. Ruan Qiqi knocked on the door several times, but he didn't respond.
Ruan Qiqi simply stopped knocking and pushed the door open directly. She walked in front of this guy without him noticing her, as she was completely immersed in joy.
"Bang"
Ruan Qiqi picked up the enamel teacup on the table, put it next to his ear, and hit it hard with a ruler.
Gan Defa jumped up in fright. When he saw her, he smiled sheepishly and asked, "Is there something wrong, Madam Ruan?"
"Won the lottery?"
Ruan Qiqi asked jokingly.
"No, I'm happier than winning the lottery."
Gan Defa couldn't stop laughing as he spoke. He did not hide his happiness at all and was beaming with joy.
"Xia Tao accepted you?"
Ruan Qiqi guessed it right away, but she didn't expect that the other party would go straight to the point and skip the dating stage and go straight to the wedding.
Gan Defa opened his mouth and nodded happily, "A Tao has agreed to marry me, Madam Ruan, do you know what brand of gold jewelry A Tao likes?"
"I have a suggestion for you. Don't bother with jewelry. Just give her gold bars. She will like it more."
Although Ruan Qiqi was surprised, she still gave valuable suggestions sincerely.
Xia Tao's favorite thing is eating. To her, gold, silver and jewelry are just currency to exchange for delicious food.
"Then I'll tell my mom not to go to the silver shop and buy gold bars directly."
Gan Defa took it in.
"Didn't I reject you yesterday? Why did you agree today?"
Ruan Qiqi was very curious. When having dinner yesterday, Xia Tao was still hesitant about it. How could they get married after just one night?
This speed is faster than her and Lu Ye.
Gan De laughed even more embarrassedly and said shyly: "A Tao came to see me last night..."
He didn't say anything else after that because it involved A Tao's privacy and he couldn't say it.
"You two are so hot and tired, are you asleep?"
Ruan Qiqi asked pointedly.
"No, we just chatted about something. Tao and I are very pure. We can only do this kind of thing after we get married."
Gan Defa denied it hastily, fearing that it would ruin Xia Tao's reputation.
Ruan Qiqi looked him up and down with eyes as if he were looking at a giant panda. In Hong Kong's extravagant and decadent society, Gan Defa was truly a rare species.
"For the sake of our cooperation, I will tell you how to maintain a happy marriage, especially with Xia Tao."
"Mrs. Ruan and Mr. Lu are so loving, they must have had some great experiences. Please tell me, Mrs. Ruan!"
Gan Defa's eyes lit up and he listened attentively.
"If you want to capture Xia Tao's heart, you must capture her stomach. Cook delicious food for her often, and she will be gentle and considerate to you. Do you understand?"
Ruan Qiqi sincerely suggested that Xia Taodianpo was a pure foodie and only delicious food could attract her.
Moreover, she suspected that the reason why Xia Tao agreed was probably because she was greedy for the Gan family's delicious food. After all, Gan's mother's cooking skills were really good.
"I understand. Thank you, Mrs. Ruan, for your advice."
Gan Defa solemnly wrote it down in his little notebook that after they got married, he would be responsible for the family's three meals a day and would definitely be able to raise Ah Tao to be plump and white.
"When are you having your wedding?"
Ruan Qiqi asked.
“The date has not yet been determined.”
"When you figure out the date, tell me and I'll come to your wedding."
She must attend Xia Tao's wedding, after all, they are comrades who have shared life and death together.
Ruan Qiqi left Gan Defa's office and went to chat with Xia Tao.
Xia Tao was also in the office, with her feet propped up on the desk, reading a novel with great interest. There was also a bowl of cake on the table, and she was eating while reading, feeling visibly refreshed.
"You and Gan Defa are getting married?"
Ruan Qiqi sat down and picked up a bowl of cake to eat. It tasted really good. Gan's mother's cooking skills were first-rate.
"If he dares to get married, then let him get married!"
Xia Tao concealed her shyness with indifference.
"Congratulations, your mother went to a fortune teller to calculate an auspicious day today."
Ruan Qiqi took another bowl of cake to eat, and Xia Tao took away the remaining bowl of cake to protect her food. She said unhappily, "Go buy it yourself."
She didn't even have enough to eat herself.
"You're just trying to destroy the bridge after crossing it, aren't you? If I hadn't enlightened you, you'd still be single now!"
Ruan Qiqi snorted, snatched another one from her arms, and scolded her while eating it. Xia Tao glared at her with gritted teeth, not daring to resist.
After snatching three bowls of cake from her, Ruan Qiqi stopped. If she continued, she was afraid that the crazy woman would explode.
"I'm going back to Tanzhou. I'll tell Pei Yuan that you're dead."
"OK!"
Xia Tao nodded, but——
"I also want to go back and visit my parents' graves."
She wanted to tell her adoptive parents that she was getting married.
"Don't go with me. It's not good to be seen by others. This bowl cake is really good. Ask your mother-in-law to make some more. I'll pay you!"
Ruan Qiqi couldn't help but take another one and eat it. It tasted better and better and she couldn't stop.
"They need your money? Isn't it tiring to do this?"
Xia Tao glared, put all the remaining bowl cakes into the drawer, and shouted at him.
"Tsk, she's already protecting him before she even gets married, it's true that girls are extroverts!"
Ruan Qiqi snorted lightly, grabbed another one from the drawer, and left.
On the way back, she also bought a lot of bowl-shaped cakes and local Hong Kong snacks, and stored them in her space to eat slowly.
Someone was waiting for her at home. It was the Ruan Zhen brothers. They brought expensive gift boxes, including bird's nests, abalone, fish maw, etc. Ruan Qiqi glanced and didn't see any shark fins, so she had a better impression of Ruan Zheng.
Ruan Zheng must have asked beforehand and knew that she didn't eat shark fin.
"Mrs. Ruan, we are going back to Nanyang, so we came here to say goodbye." Ruan Zheng said with a smile.
“Have a safe trip!”
Ruan Qiqi also responded politely.
The Ruan family was quite generous. The day after Ruan Zhen was rescued, Ruan Zheng came to thank them and gave her a floor of an office building and six shops in Xiangjiang, as well as a set of luxurious ruby jewelry. Xia Tao and Gan Defa also gave thank-you gifts to Manzi, which was quite generous.
The families of several other young masters also sent gifts of thanks.
"Mrs. Ruan, I specifically checked my family's genealogy. Although our Ruan family's ancestral home is in Fujian Province, one branch went to Hunan Province two hundred years ago. Strictly speaking, we are actually relatives."
Ruan Zheng was trying to make friends with her with a smile on his face. He was not making this up, as it was indeed recorded in the family tree. However, only God knew whether the branch that ran away was Ruan Qiqi's ancestor.
This is not important, as long as Mrs. Ruan admits it!
Ruan Qiqi raised an eyebrow. They were not related at all. What was Ruan Zheng trying to do?
"You want to invest inland?"
Ruan Qiqi asked directly.
"Nothing can be hidden from Madam's discerning eyes. The Ruan family does have this plan, but the current inland environment seems a bit complicated. Could Madam please give me some advice on when is the right time to invest?"
Ruan Zheng did not play it safe and stated his intention directly.
China is such a big piece of cake, he wants to go there as soon as possible to grab the market, but he must find a powerful person to protect him, otherwise his investment will be wasted.
