Xie Qingxiao paused, Zhang Pengfei thought of something, and quickly smiled and said, "Okay, it happens that we old classmates haven't seen each other for a long time, we can take this opportunity to chat! Right, Brother Xiao!"
"Yes." Xie Qingxiao said with a smile, "Let's go."
Seeing this, Zhang Pengfei felt quite emotional.
With Brother Xiao's previous temperament, he would definitely refuse directly if he was not happy and would never give face to anyone.
Now that the business has grown bigger, it is inevitable that we have become more tactful in our dealings.
This is a good thing!
"Okay!" Jiang Yingxue was very enthusiastic, "Let's go, I know a restaurant with really good food!"
Jiang Yingxue took them to a very simple and elegant restaurant. The interior decoration was simple and elegant, with several landscape paintings hanging on the walls, which had a strong cultural atmosphere. The wooden tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and each table was covered with a clean white tablecloth, with simple tableware and a bouquet of flowers on it. The lighting was soft and warm, giving people a very elegant feeling.
The three of them were seated under the guidance of the waiter. Jiang Yingxue secretly observed Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei. She thought they would feel awkward, but she didn't expect that they seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene and were more calm and natural than her, a regular customer.
Yes, they just spent five figures to buy a factory, so they must have had some opportunities in recent years.
Jiang Yingxue felt a little happier.
When they were in high school, everyone said that Xie Qingxiao was a second-rate guy and a gangster, but she felt that Xie Qingxiao must be someone special.
Sure enough, she was not wrong about him!
After not seeing him for a few years, he still looks tall and handsome, and has become more mature, calm and reserved, more charming than before...
When ordering food, Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei were very gentlemanly and asked Jiang Yingxue to order first. Jiang Yingxue did not hesitate and ordered both Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei's portions.
While waiting for the food to be served, she took the initiative to find a topic: "By the way, why did you buy the factory? Are you going to do business here?"
"Yeah." Xie Qingxiao said briefly.
"It's good to do business! In the past, no one dared to do business, saying it was a crime. Now there are still many places that are very strict! But in Guangdong Province, you can see people doing business everywhere. The situation is good. Not only do we not discriminate, we even envy people doing business because they make a lot of money. Even small vendors on the street can make money. I have seen someone who has been doing business for half a year and can buy a house in Guangzhou. But my parents don't allow it. They say that I am a girl and don't need to work so hard. It is respectable to have a golden rice bowl. Otherwise, I would also go into business... By the way, what business do you do?"
“Braised food.”
"What is braised food? Is it something to eat? I haven't tried it yet! You know what, after Guangzhou developed, more and more outsiders came here and brought their hometown delicacies with them! Don't look at me as skinny, but I can eat a lot. My ambition is to try all the delicacies in Guangzhou!"
"It's for food."
... Jiang Yingxue asked a question and Xie Qingxiao answered it, completely refusing to cooperate with Jiang Yingxue in finding topics.
Jiang Yingxue couldn't continue her story at the end. Xie Qingxiao was much more mature than before. He didn't bother to pay attention to her before, but now he would not ignore her, but he would just deal with her perfunctorily...
This is too difficult!
Zhang Pengfei was afraid that the atmosphere would become awkward, so he quickly said, "By the way, Yingxue, why did you come to Yangcheng?"
Jiang Yingxue looked at Zhang Pengfei gratefully and said with a smile, "After I dropped out of school, my parents brought me to Yangcheng. After high school, I went to college, and after I came back, I was assigned to work here... It was all thanks to you guys!" Although she added a "you" now, her eyes were indeed looking at Xie Qingxiao, "If it weren't for you, I might not be alive today. It was you who got expelled from school. I, I really feel sorry for you..."
As she spoke, her voice was choked.
The beauty's tears aroused sympathy. People in the surrounding seats couldn't help but look at her several times.
Xie Qingxiao was unmoved, and even broke the tear-jerking warmth and tenderness of the scene: "No, I didn't take the initiative to save you. I beat Cai Youliang because he had a grudge against me. Saving you was just a side job."
Jiang Yingxue's sobbing voice choked. The diners around her were speechless.
Regardless of whether you took the initiative to save her or not, you did save her, so why don't you just admit it? Isn't this embarrassing?
Zhang Pengfei covered his face. It had been a long time since he heard his brother Xiao speak so directly and unemotionally to outsiders.
No matter how slow he was, he realized what Jiang Yingxue was thinking.
So he tried to smooth things over by saying, "Yes, Yingxue, you don't have to take it to heart. Back then, we didn't beat up Cai Youliang because of you. It was just because Cai Youliang had a grudge against us. We deserved to be expelled from school."
Cai Youliang is the other most famous second-rate person in the school besides Xie Qingxiao. Like Xie Qingxiao, he is also surrounded by a bunch of bad friends, calling the shots and getting into fights every day. In fact, because he is a year higher than Xie Qingxiao, his reputation is even worse than Xie Qingxiao.
He also liked to tease girls - although the conduct of men and women was strictly enforced at that time, the school was relatively lenient towards students. Moreover, Cai Youliang did it secretly, and the girls who were teased did not dare to report it because of his cruelty.
Jiang Yingxue is one of them.
When she was blocked in an alley and molested by Cai Youliang and was in despair, Xie Qingxiao brought his men over and beat Cai Youliang half to death.
Jiang Yingxue was stunned. She thought Xie Qingxiao came to save her, but it turned out that he wasn't.
The following meal was tasteless to everyone - no, the only one who tasted tasteless was Jiang Yingxue.
Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei ate and drank as usual, and even when they couldn't see Jiang Yingxue's stiff expression, they took the initiative to ease the atmosphere and find topics to talk about.
After the meal, Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei politely offered to take Jiang Yingxue home.
Of course, Jiang Yingxue refused and left in embarrassment.
Xie Qingxiao's face drooped instantly.
Zhang Pengfei was amazed. Others said that Brother Xiao had become more mature and restrained, and indeed he had matured a lot. When he met people or things he didn't like, he wouldn't be sullen in front of them, but he would be sullen behind their backs.
"She wouldn't like you, right, Brother Xiao?" Zhang Pengfei asked as they walked back.
"Who knows?"
Zhang Pengfei punched him angrily. If you didn't know, how could you be so ruthless to him just now?
"I think so! But you were so ruthless to her just now. If she had a normal IQ, she should have understood what you meant and would not bother you again."
"Um."
Zhang Pengfei looked at Xie Qingxiao, clicked his tongue twice, and said jealously: "You are really charming. Apart from my sister-in-law, is there any woman who doesn't love you?"
"Get lost! Your sister-in-law loves me now too!"
"Hey, I'm not talking about now. I'm talking about when she was in school, she didn't love you...hiss!" Zhang Pengfei was kicked, and he squatted on the ground with his legs hugged in pain, furious: "Xie Qingxiao, I'll kill you!"
