Chapter 224
Xu Yihuan thought Pei Yuli was trying to make things difficult for her, but he wasn't.
Pei Yuli simply replied with a "Received" on the other end of the phone.
Then, quite naturally, he asked about Xu Yihuan.
Why didn't you come to class today?
Xu Yihuan tried to pretend she didn't see it, but Pei Yuli, seeing that Xu Yihuan hadn't replied for a long time, asked again.
Are you sick?
【No.】 Xu Yihuan typed two words, then silenced her phone and put it aside. Even if Pei Yuli sent her a message, she was determined not to look at it.
But before Xu Yihuan could even throw her phone away, a message arrived the next second.
【Then remember to come to the next class. There's a test next class, and we won't make up the classes we missed during the National Day holiday.】
Xu Yihuan had heard Pei Yuli speak in such a gentle tone before, even in her dreams.
Seeing that it was a serious matter, Xu Yihuan patiently gave Pei Yuli an OK sign.
Then the other party stopped replying.
Xu Yihuan put away her phone and prepared to leave.
Pei Yuli looked at the messages on his phone and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Ali, what are you doing? Quickly help me put these things in." Pei Yi'an called from outside.
Pei Yuli's face regained its usual composure.
"They're here."
After this week, the National Day holiday will begin.
During the seven-day National Day holiday, Xu Yihuan stayed at home and didn't go anywhere, while Xu Rongyu went out every day.
She leaves home looking radiant and returns with a spring-like glow.
Xu Yihuan couldn't help but complain about her father's second spring in life, and the next second she would receive a flick on the forehead from her father.
"What nonsense are you spouting, little girl?"
"That's how it is. People who don't know better would think you've started dating someone new. You've been with my mom for decades, and you're still like this."
Xu Rong snorted twice: "It's because your mother and I have a good relationship, what do you know?"
"If you're bored and have nothing better to do, go find two young boyfriends to keep you company."
As he spoke, Xu Rongyu transferred 100,000 yuan to Xu Yihuan.
That's enough for her to find twenty younger boyfriends to play with.
Xu Yihuan was speechless, but still accepted the money without any guilt.
Seeing that Xu Rongyu was about to leave again, Xu Yihuan quickly asked.
"Dad, when will our shopping mall open?"
"Are you coming to the ribbon-cutting ceremony the week after next?"
Xu Yihuan nodded happily: "Okay!"
Xu Rongyu smiled, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Xu Yihuan sat cross-legged on the sofa, biting an apple into her mouth, idly pressing the remote control on her phone.
News channel.
[Jin Feng Enterprise is facing bankruptcy due to cash flow problems. Jin Feng Enterprise was established in 2012 and was once hailed as a subsidiary of the Tan family...]
Xu Yihuan bit into an apple, lost in thought. Wasn't Jinfeng Enterprise founded by Tan Zhixu's uncle?
Tan Zhixu's uncle is really bad; how come he's facing a bankruptcy crisis now?
Xu Yihuan found it increasingly strange.
Just as I was about to take another look, my phone rang.
"Sister Huanhuan, do you have time to come out for a moment?"
"A batch of new materials is being shipped over from the western suburbs today. Shall we go take a look together?"
It's Jiang Jinnan.
Xu Yihuan was bored at the time, and upon hearing this, she turned off the TV, finished eating the apple, and immediately agreed.
"Then I'll come pick you up."
As soon as she was told, Xu Yihuan got into Jiang Jinnan's car ten minutes later.
The temperature difference between day and night in Beijing is significant, and it's only noon for them right now.
Xu Yihuan casually threw on a sweatshirt, tied her hair in a bun, and went out.
Jiang Jin got off the bus and opened the car door for Xu Yihuan. When he saw her, his eyes lit up.
"Sister Huanhuan, let's go."
Xu Yihuan nodded, skillfully fastened her seatbelt, and leaned back in her seat.
"When will things finish on our end?"
"It seems like my dad's shopping mall is almost finished."
"Once the shopping mall is completed, the foot traffic there will definitely be good for at least one or two months."
"I was wondering if we could speed things up and finish it by early November?"
Xu Yihuan pondered, her mind filled with thoughts of how to make money.
Jiang Jinnan, steering with one hand, said casually, "Sure."
"Hire more people, pay them more, and we can finish this by the end of the month."
Xu Yihuan nodded: "I think we'll definitely be able to earn it back later."
Jiang Jinnan chuckled.
Xu Yihuan, enraged and embarrassed, retorted, "What are you laughing at?"
"nothing."
"Where are you taking me? Isn't this the road to the western suburbs?" Xu Yihuan asked, looking at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window.
"No rush, let's go for afternoon tea tonight."
"Why?"
“Although it’s inconvenient over there because of the rain, they’ll start laying the power lines tonight, which is a good opportunity for us to check if there are any problems,” Jiang Jinnan said.
Xu Yihuan was stunned by Jiang Jinnan's words, and even began to reflect on whether she had been too indifferent to things in the western suburbs.
Jiang Jinnan stopped at the traffic light, looked at Xu Yihuan's expression, and couldn't help but smile.
They believe everything they're told.
The two found a quiet afternoon tea restaurant to eat at.
We ate and chatted, and time flew by.
It was almost five o'clock in no time.
Since it's already this late, the two of them might as well have dinner.
Before long, it was past nine o'clock.
In Beijing in October, it's already quite dark by six o'clock.
Jiang Jinan and Xu Yihuan walked to the door. If they went there at this time, it would be just right.
The workers are probably working overtime at this time, usually until around 11 o'clock.
"Wait here for me, I'll go get the car."
Xu Yihuan nodded and stood at the hotel entrance. A gust of cold wind blew over, which was honestly a bit unbearable.
Xu Yihuan rubbed her arms.
Jiang Jinnan thought about leaving quickly.
Hurry up and drive the car up. Once the air conditioning is on, Xu Yihuan won't be cold.
Just after Jiang Jinnan left.
The next second, a coat was draped over Xu Yihuan.
It has a refreshing minty scent, a very familiar aroma.
Xu Yihuan subconsciously looked up and met the eyes of the person who had just arrived.
Tan Zhixu stood against the light, his light brown eyes lowered, gazing intently at Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan was stunned: "You..."
"President Tan, who is this?" The boss next to her noticed Xu Yihuan and immediately asked.
Tan Zhixu pursed his lips: "Oh, a friend."
After saying that, Tan Zhixu put his hands in his pockets and strode into the private room.
When the boss saw Tan Zhixu leave, he immediately followed Tan Zhixu away, huffing and puffing.
But he still turned his head and glanced at Xu Yihuan a few times.
Why does he feel like he's seen Tan Zhixu so many times?
Xu Yihuan's steps unconsciously turned towards Tan Zhixu. Only after the two figures disappeared from sight did Xu Yihuan come back to her senses as if waking from a dream.
If it weren't for the coat she was wearing, she probably wouldn't have believed that she had actually met Tan Zhixu.
Xu Yihuan tightened her grip on her coat.
At this moment, Tan Zhixu in the restaurant also slowed down his pace.
He turned around and looked through the door at Xu Yihuan.
