Chu Xuan spread his hands and said, "I haven't told Uncle Long."
Uncle Long rubbed his hands awkwardly. "I found out on my own. Um...Xiao Xuan, I want to talk to your mother alone for a few minutes. Can you..."
Chu Xuan glanced at Tian Xiaoyun.
Tian Xiaoyun nodded at her.
Chu Xuan understood, stood up with the tangerine peel tea in hand, and said with a smile, "I'll go to the conference room for tea."
Xiao Huan also followed him out.
Only Tian Xiaoyun and Director Long were left in the office.
Today, Tian Xiaoyun was wearing a dark blue long-sleeved dress with hand-embroidery and a beige woolen coat.
In Long Zhenxiao's eyes, it was beautiful and moving.
"Zhenxiao, I came here today to visit the jade factory."
Director Long was in a complicated mood. The last time Xiaoyun called him Zhenxiao was ten years ago. Later, because of his confession, she no longer called him that and only called him Brother Long.
Being called like that again today, his heart beat faster.
However, he knew that she shouted like that not because she wanted to have any emotional entanglement with him, but because she had completely let go of what happened in the past.
"No one has dared to call me Zhenxiao for years. Usually everyone calls me Uncle Long, Boss Long, or Director Long. I'm very happy that you called me that today. Xiaoyun, let's catch up first and then go on a tour, okay?"
Tian Xiaoyun's gaze fell on the eye patch on Long Zhenxiao's face.
Long Zhenxiao did not feel any inferiority complex and let him look at him, because he knew that Xiaoyun would never despise him for this.
"Okay, then let's catch up first. I've consulted a doctor abroad, and he says he can install a prosthetic eye. The technology is advanced, and the implant will be virtually invisible. The skin around the eye socket can also be repaired. If you'd like, I'll schedule an appointment."
Long Zhenxiao didn't expect that Xiaoyun had remembered his wish all along. "I'll have time after the New Year, remember to make an appointment for me."
"good."
"Xiaoyun, how is your recovery?"
Tian Xiaoyun joked, "You even know whether I can drink tangerine peel tea after taking Chinese medicine, don't you know the extent of my physical recovery?"
"I went to see Dr. Zhang ten days ago to ask about it. Hasn't another ten days passed? The degree of recovery must have changed."
"Recovering well."
"I think so too. You look good. I think you look even better than you did ten years ago."
"Ten years ago, I was very thin and black, not as pampered as I am now. This is thanks to the care of Bingcheng."
When Wu Bingcheng was mentioned, Long Zhenxiao's face was filled with envy. "He is so lucky! He and I were both saved by you, but he married you and I didn't. However, I don't regret it. If he hadn't taken you abroad for treatment, you might not exist in this world anymore."
"You even know about this?"
"That's right. I have my own sources of information. Don't feel any pressure. I checked on you just to see how you've been doing these past few years. When I learned that you were doing well, I was very happy for you."
"Thank you for your concern for me, and thank you for taking care of Xiaoxuan and his sister."
"Wouldn't it be too awkward to thank me? How about trying some tangerine peel tea first?"
Tian Xiaoyun picked up the teacup, blew on it gently a few times, and took a sip.
Pleasant fragrance and smooth taste.
I couldn't help but drink a few sips.
The aroma of tangerine peel lingers on the nose, leaving a lasting aftertaste.
“Delicious!”
Long Zhenxiao was as happy as a child, "As long as you like it, I'm glad you drink it. When you leave, take two boxes with you."
Tian Xiaoyun felt a little embarrassed, "I didn't bring you a gift this time, but I took a gift from you."
It’s not that I don’t want to bring it, but because visiting the factory with gifts would easily cause trouble for Long Zhenxiao.
After all, this factory is not his personal property, so he has to pay attention to the impact.
Long Zhenxiao waved his hand carelessly, "You can't bring gifts. Bringing gifts to the factory would be a disservice to me. I received the wild game you mailed me a while ago, but I haven't given you a return gift yet. Tangerine peel tea is considered a return gift."
Tian Xiaoyun: "Then I won't be polite."
Long Zhenxiao: "Don't be polite with me. Shall I take you to visit the jade factory?"
He was very content to be able to say so much alone, and he didn't have to wait for Xiaoyun to remind him to understand.
"good."
Tian Xiaoyun stood up.
Calling Chu Xuan and Xiao Huan to visit together.
After the visit, Tian Xiaoyun expressed his intention to cooperate.
But Long Zhenxiao said that he could only cooperate with Wu Bingcheng and his wife, and not with her alone.
Tian Xiaoyun immediately understood that Long Zhenxiao was protecting her in disguise, worried that cooperating with her would affect her relationship with Bingcheng.
In this case, I can only wait for half a month and come with Bingcheng to discuss cooperation matters.
When Tian Xiaoyun and her daughter left, Long Zhenxiao personally saw them off to the gate.
There were two boxes of tangerine peel tea hanging on the handlebars of Chu Xuan's bicycle.
After leaving the jade factory, they did not rush home, but bought some vegetables, fruits, dried fruits and the like in the town.
You don’t need to buy pork. Grandpa Wang gave you a big piece yesterday.
Chu Xuan rode a bike to take her mother home.
When they were about to reach the door of his house, Tian Xiaoyun whispered, "Xiao Xuan, I don't understand your Uncle Long as well as you do. Yesterday you advised me to wait for your father to come back before discussing cooperation, but I refused to listen. Now it's all in vain."
Chu Xuan stopped his bicycle and patted the tangerine peel tea on the handlebars. "It was worth the trip. This tangerine peel tea is delicious. Xiao Huan said it's ten-year-old tangerine peel. It's hard to find."
"Speaking of this, I feel even more that I shouldn't have gone. I didn't bring anything for your Uncle Long, but instead I charged him for two boxes of ten-year-old tangerine peel."
"When Dad calls again, remember to ask him to bring two bottles of wine from abroad to Uncle Long. Uncle Long will definitely like it. I'll send it directly to his house when the time comes."
"good."
The mother and daughter walked in while chatting.
At this moment, Gao Meijuan came running over and said, "Xiaoyun, after dinner tonight, your uncle Wang and I will come to talk to you about something. We'll be in later."
"Okay. Auntie, come in and have some water."
Tian Xiaoyun waved to Gao Meijuan enthusiastically.
Gao Meijuan smiled and responded, "No, I have to go to the county town. Let's talk tonight."
He waved and turned away.
Chu Xuan and Tian Xiaoyun looked at each other.
It was as if asking the other person what they would talk about in the evening.
They all shook their heads almost at the same time.
They smiled at each other.
At noon, Chu Feng came back for lunch. Tian Xiaoyun deliberately said, "Xiao Feng, why don't you invite Zhao Di and her two siblings to your house for dinner tonight?"
Chu Feng said excitedly, "Not tonight. Mom, Erleng and his family invited the three of us to his house for dumplings. I was just about to tell you and my sister about it. Are you free tonight?"
Tian Xiaoyun thought of Gao Meijuan's instructions, "I have something to do in the evening, and your grandmother Gao will come to see me. Your sister should be free, you can ask her."
Chu Xuan came over and said, "I'm free. Xiao Feng and I will go together tonight."
Chu Feng looked relieved. Fortunately, his sister was free, otherwise he would feel embarrassed to go alone.
Looking at Tian Xiaoyun, "Mom, can my sister and I bring gifts tonight?"
For some reason, he just wanted to bring more things to Zhaodi's house.
Tian Xiaoyun said lovingly, "Of course. How about bringing a bag of fruit and a pound of pickled meat?"
"Good. Mom, you are so nice! You are the kindest and sweetest mother!"
Chu Feng's mouth was as sweet as honey.
Tian Xiaoyun was very happy when he heard this.
Chu Xuan felt that the tone, expression and sweet words were so familiar.
They look like two different people. (End of this chapter)
