Chapter 150 150 Ambiguous Period
Seeing her suddenly flushed cheeks, Lu Hongzhe subconsciously reached out to feel the temperature of her forehead. Jiang Lili turned away, lowering her eyes and saying, "If you don't leave now, they will go far away."
Lu Hongzhe looked at the man in front of him, his head almost buried in the ground, and suddenly chuckled. He slowly withdrew his right hand, which he had just extended, and then asked without thinking, "You know everything, right?"
"What do you know? I don't understand what you are saying. I'll go back first." Jiang Lili said, turned around and trotted back.
Looking at her fleeing back, Lu Hongzhe raised the corners of his lips in a good mood, so could he understand her blushing face just now as good news?
Jiang Liangbo, who had already walked away, shook off his hand and asked, "Why hasn't Old Lu come yet?"
"Why do you have so many things to do? Can't you find your way home without him?" Lu Ziming looked at him with disgust.
"Aren't I just concerned about him? Lili looks like a very popular student in school. I don't know what he is wasting time on." Jiang Liangbo frowned as he spoke. He looked even more anxious than Lu Hongzhe.
Lu Ziming also realized this and looked at him with some confusion: "The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is, so why are you so anxious?"
Jiang Liangbo rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "If Lili gets chased away by someone else, will we still have a chance to eat at Aunt Jiang's table?"
"Don't worry, Old Lu knows what's going on." As soon as Lu Ziming finished speaking, they saw the person walking towards them with a smile on his face that he didn't usually have.
"Waiting for me?" Lu Hongzhe couldn't help but ask when he saw them standing here.
"Yes, what happened between you and Lili? Did she reject you?" Jiang Liangbo asked hurriedly.
Lu Hongzhe rolled his eyes at him: "Can't you just hope for the best for me?"
"So what's the situation now?" Lu Ziming was also a little curious.
"It's nothing. She's still too young. Also, given the relationship between our two families, we have to be more cautious about some things." Lu Hongzhe explained to them.
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on, just tell us if you need us to do anything." Lu Ziming also agreed with him. Given the relationship between their two families, this matter indeed needs to be handled with caution.
"Let's go, go back first." Lu Hongzhe thought of her flushed cheeks just now, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
Jiang Lili ran back in one go, but when she reached the door, she hesitated to push it open. She put her hands on her cheeks, trying to cool down. In her two lives, this was the first time she had been ambiguous with someone. Yes, she felt that the current status between her and Lu Hongzhe was ambiguous. To be honest, she somewhat enjoyed the current status. Once some things were brought to light, she would have to face more things, such as the attitudes of both sides' families, so she would rather maintain the current status.
She waited until her cheeks were no longer so hot before slowly pushing the door open. Jiang Qitong noticed at a glance that her cheeks were redder than usual: "Sister Lili, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"
Everyone who was busy with their own things couldn't help but look at Jiang Lili when they heard Jiang Qitong's words. Jiang Lili quickly explained, "I just remembered that I had an appointment with Sister Mei tomorrow, so I ran all the way back."
"Then go to bed early tonight." Jiang Yulan knew what tomorrow's meeting meant.
"Well, I'll go back to my room and sort out some information." Jiang Lili planned to go back to her room to calm down. As soon as she sat down, she heard the sound of a text message. It was indeed from Lu Hongzhe. [I'm home]
Jiang Lili stared at the text message for a few seconds, and after a long while she sent a "OK" message. Then she muted her phone and began to organize the information carefully. No matter what Mei Huixiu's answer would be tomorrow, she made these preparations only for Youbei.
Lu Hongzhe, who had just returned from a detour, stared at the word "good" in her reply, chuckled, then put away his phone and did not disturb her again. Instead, he called home and asked about Qiu Shaoli's progress in Nanshi.
"Your second aunt didn't call back, so this should be good news." The master that Qiu Shaoli brought was introduced by Li Shuhua. Businessmen generally prefer to believe it rather than not.
The two chatted for a while. This time, Li Shuhua rarely brought up the old topic. She just reminded him to take care of his health. It seemed that Ji Mingyue's experience gave her some insights.
Lu Hongzhe couldn't help but laugh. Could this be considered a blessing in disguise? However, the disaster was indeed Lu Jiaze's fault. He sent a message to Lu Jiaze, asking him to remember to contact them if he had any problems.
Lu Jiaze only saw the message every night. He couldn't help but sigh at the sudden concern. He hadn't expected his mother's suggestion of bringing a master to solve the problem, which inevitably gave him a headache. But thinking that Qiu Shaoli had come all the way here just for this matter, he convinced himself to cooperate with her, believing that she would leave once she realized it was useless.
He glanced at the messages Ji Mingyue sent every day. He didn't click on them and just pressed the delete key. In some ways, he actually admired Ji Mingyue's persistence, so this was probably the reason for her success?

The next morning, Jiang Lili was woken up by a call from Cheng Yuntian. The person on the other end of the phone said succinctly, "I'll wait for you downstairs at your house."
The person who was still a little sleepy suddenly woke up: "Sister Cheng, why are you here so early today?"
"It's a good opportunity for us to meet today and discuss ideas on site selection. We are all busy normally, so today is a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the free time." Cheng Yuntian explained.
"Then wait for me, I'll be down soon." Jiang Lili said and got up quickly to change clothes. When she came out of the room, the living room was very quiet, so she tiptoed downstairs.
"You are usually in school. Tell me your requirements first. I will find a few places first, and then we will decide together." Cheng Yuntian asked.
The two of them talked about Youbei's location for almost two hours. At the end, Cheng Yuntian handed her the notebook and asked, "Do you have anything else to add?"
She wrote a long and eloquent article, which made Jiang Lili feel a little embarrassed. She then asked with concern, "Sister Cheng, why are you here so early today? This is not like you."
"Old Cheng has been forcing me to go on blind dates every day recently. I slipped away before they got up. I'd better live on my own for now." Cheng Yuntian felt a headache when this matter was mentioned.
The smile on Jiang Lili's face froze. It turned out that being forced into marriage was inevitable in any era. In their previous interactions, she thought Cheng's parents were very open-minded, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't escape being forced into marriage.
"If you meet someone suitable in college, just date him or her. It's good to have a boyfriend. Campus romance will be purer." Cheng Yuntian is not opposed to dating and getting married, but he is not willing to settle. The people introduced by his parents are all here to marry into his wife's family. It's better to say that they are here for their family property. Cheng Yuntian is very clear-headed on this point.
Jiang Lili obviously didn't expect this topic to come up with her, but when she met her serious gaze, she nodded earnestly: "I'll give it a try if there's someone suitable, but neither love nor marriage are necessities. Having them is just a spice of life, but it's fine without them either."
"You see things very clearly." Cheng Yuntian was a little surprised that she could see things so clearly at such a young age. Then he thought of her family. Perhaps her ideas were influenced by her family. But no matter what, he agreed with her point of view.
"Life is only a few decades long. It's up to you to choose how to live your life."
"You're so pretentious. Let's go and meet Sister Mei." Cheng Yuntian interrupted her pretentious remarks.
This time, they were the ones who were late, but it wasn't intentional. The two of them obviously didn't expect that there would be a traffic jam in a place that was usually unobstructed. Jiang Lili was the first to apologize: "Sister Mei, I'm so sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road." It was also their fault, as they arrived almost on time.
"It's okay. It's fair for each of us to wait for a while." Mei Huixiu was indeed a little unhappy. She felt that they were taking revenge on her for being late last time.
The two exchanged glances, each reading a useful message from the other's eyes. Was Mei Huixiu becoming even more petty? This also meant that she was willing to join Youbei, otherwise she would have left directly instead of being sarcastic here.
"Sister Mei, this is my fault. I wanted to take that road to buy some snacks, but I didn't expect there would be a traffic jam. You can try it, the snacks here are very delicious." Cheng Yuntian said as he handed her a bag of snacks.
Mei Huixiu quickly smiled and said, "Really? Then I'm going to give it a try."
Seeing this, Jiang Lili knew the issue of being late was over. She looked at Cheng Yuntian with admiration. After tasting the snacks, Mei Huixiu stopped being polite with them and got straight to the point. "I went back and took a closer look at that early childhood education center you mentioned last time. I think what you said is very right. This will be the general trend in the future, but there are still a few aspects that I don't quite understand."
"Sister Mei, please speak." Jiang Lili knew that the time had come to test herself.
"I checked and found that there are already early childhood education centers in Beijing. What are the advantages of Youbei compared to them?"
"Youbei's purpose has always been to put babies first. The baby's experience is the most important. We will introduce the most professional teachers. Parents are probably most worried about their children's performance in the early childhood education center. Our surveillance covers the entire early childhood education center, and parents can check their children's status at any time." Jiang Lili has investigated and found that there are almost no kindergartens with full coverage of surveillance. Many private kindergartens have surveillance, but it cannot cover everything.
Parents are concerned about their children's safety, and surveillance can solve the problem at the root. Finally, she continued, "Students who enroll in Youbei Early Childhood Education Center will receive a free one-month membership to Baby Paradise."
Jiang Lili hadn't had time to mention this to Cheng Yuntian. Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuntian glanced at her and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. She was indeed still the same Jiang Lili.
"Baby Paradise?" Mei Huixiu looked at her with some confusion.
"It's an indoor amusement park under my name. The facilities inside are very suitable for children. We currently have two stores, and we will continue to develop branches in the future." Jiang Lili briefly told her about the Baby Park.
"That sounds great. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future." This is their third time working together.
"It's a pleasure working with you." Jiang Lili suppressed the smile on her lips.
After Mei Huixiu left, Cheng Yuntian turned to look at her and teased, "Lili, you're really good! You've really attracted traffic to Baby Paradise. According to previous data, at least one-third of the children who come here will make purchases again. After the one-month membership period expires, there should be quite a few children left."
"I have another way to increase the sales of Tongqu players. Sister Cheng, do you want to hear it?" Jiang Lili raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
