Yang Qiaoqiao heard Tong Xuejiao crying uncontrollably on the phone and quickly asked her what was wrong and what had happened.
But Tong Xuejiao was only focused on crying and couldn't explain anything clearly.
Yang Qiaoqiao, who was inspecting the garment factory, didn't dare to delay any longer. She quickly explained the next steps to Zhou Yang and then drove off to the place Tong Xuejiao had mentioned.
When they arrived at the road Tong Xuejiao had mentioned, Yang Qiaoqiao slowed down and drove while searching for Tong Xuejiao.
Soon, she saw Tong Xuejiao's car parked on the side of the road.
Quickly pull over and stop.
This is because there aren't many cars and traffic regulations aren't very strict right now. But in ten years or so, Haicheng will have more people and more cars, and traffic regulations will be much stricter.
The fact that they parked so haphazardly means they'll get fined, but causing a major traffic jam will definitely get them invited to the police station for a chat by Uncle Hat.
Yang Qiaoqiao walked over and knocked on the car window.
Tong Xuejiao was crying uncontrollably when she looked up and saw Yang Qiaoqiao outside the car window. She then opened the car door and threw herself into Yang Qiaoqiao's arms, continuing to wail loudly.
This attracted the attention of people around them, who would occasionally glance in their direction.
Yang Qiaoqiao was unaware of what had happened and didn't know what to say to comfort Tong Xuejiao.
He held Tong Xuejiao in his arms, gently patting her back to comfort her, while wiping away her tears.
After a while, Tong Xuejiao finally stopped crying and calmed down.
Yang Qiaoqiao looked at her eyes, which were swollen and red like peaches, and said, "Let's get in the car first."
Tong Xuejiao had vented enough, so she got into the car with her.
After getting on the bus, Yang Qiaoqiao hadn't yet asked Tong Xuejiao what had happened.
Tong Xuejiao took the initiative to say, "Yan Heqing is getting engaged. Actually, I'm quite happy, and Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan, and my parents are all very happy too."
But I don't know what's wrong with my eyes, it's like they're sick, tears just keep flowing uncontrollably.
Tong Xuejiao said, her voice choked with emotion.
As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, and her eyes reddened.
Yang Qiaoqiao was quite surprised when she heard the news.
Is Yan Heqing getting engaged?
She hadn't heard of it.
Could it be that they weren't close enough, which is why Yan Heqing didn't send them invitations?
That doesn't make sense. Even if they're not close, she's still working on orders from Yan Heqing, so they're practically business partners.
Given Yan Heqing's status and position, he shouldn't have kept his engagement ceremony too low-key.
After all, for people at their level, an engagement banquet is no longer just a simple engagement banquet, but a good time to make connections and expand their social circle.
Yang Qiaoqiao felt that Yan Heqing's engagement was not only sudden but also very strange.
She didn't respond to Tong Xuejiao's comment.
Tong Xuejiao wiped away the tears that were uncontrollably seeping from the corners of her eyes and said to herself, "It's good that he's engaged to the daughter of some high-ranking official."
With his connections and network, his business will definitely be able to grow even bigger.
After learning the whole story from Tong Xuejiao's narration, Yang Qiaoqiao...
This only deepened my confusion.
With Yan Heqing's looks, temperament, and abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to bewitch a few love-struck girls.
However, if the other party has such a family background, in this era where there is no strict regulation, the engagement banquet should not be so low-key.
However, she hadn't had a chance to tell Tong Xuejiao about these doubts.
Tong Xuejiao had already put one arm around her shoulder and said, "Qiaoqiao, let's go to a nightclub for a drink to celebrate Yan Heqing's birthday."
I know a new nightclub recently opened in Haicheng. I heard it's super luxurious and super fun. My treat!
Yang Qiaoqiao actually wanted to refuse.
But considering Tong Xuejiao's obsession with alcohol, even if she refused her, she figured she would go alone anyway.
Given her current state, it would be bad if something else happened to her.
She had no choice but to follow Tong Xuejiao's instructions and drive the car to a newly opened large nightclub in Haicheng.
As soon as the car stopped, a service staff member came over to help her park.
Haicheng truly lives up to its reputation as an international metropolis; its service is already on par with standards set 20 or 30 years from now.
No matter how good the service was, she still didn't have a good impression of nightclubs in this era.
In this era, because the reform and opening up had just begun, all sectors of the country were in dire need of development.
The entertainment industry is an emerging industry, and in recent years, a number of people have indeed made some money by taking advantage of the reform and opening up policy.
When the poor suddenly become rich, some people inevitably become arrogant. After becoming arrogant, these people like to do all sorts of shady things to show off their wealth and status.
Furthermore, the government has not yet taken the time to regulate the entertainment industry, resulting in lax or even nonexistent oversight.
Therefore, places like this, regardless of whether they are high-end or low-end, are all very chaotic.
Yang Qiaoqiao accompanied Tong Xuejiao into the nightclub.
It was still early, and there weren't many people in the nightclub.
Tong Xuejiao pulled Yang Qiaoqiao to the bar and ordered more than a dozen kinds of drinks in one go.
Yang Qiaoqiao said helplessly, "Sister Xuejiao, you are allergic to alcohol, don't drink so much."
Tong Xuejiao chuckled and pulled a box of medicine out of her bag, saying to Yang Qiaoqiao, "It's okay, you see I always carry medicine with me, just take one later."
Furthermore, I want to tell you that thanks to my persistent efforts, my alcohol allergy symptoms are not as severe anymore. Before, I would get rashes all over my body, but now I only get rashes on my arms and neck.
Yang Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered a joke she had seen online when she was bored during the last period of her previous life.
The fiercely competitive Chinese will eat as much as they can, as long as it doesn't kill them, and one day they'll become desensitized.
Just as Yang Qiaoqiao was feeling sentimental, Tong Xuejiao had already put a pill in her mouth, swallowed it, and was now eagerly waiting for the drinks she had ordered to arrive.
As soon as the wine was served, she placed a glass directly in front of Yang Qiaoqiao, then took one for herself, clinked glasses with Yang Qiaoqiao's, and said with great enthusiasm, "Qiaoqiao, come on, cheers! Wishing Yan Heqing a happy marriage!"
Before Yang Qiaoqiao could even react, Tong Xuejiao had already tilted her head back and downed a glass of wine in one gulp.
Then he picked up another glass and clinked it against Yang Qiaoqiao's glass, "Qiaoqiao, come on, this second glass is to wish Yan Heqing a long and happy marriage."
"The third cup is a wish for Yan Heqing to have a son soon!"
...
"No...."
Yang Qiaoqiao didn't even pick up her glass, while Tong Xuejiao had already drunk one glass after another until she couldn't even remember how many.
She thought for a moment, then waved her hand dismissively, "Forget it, it doesn't matter how many cups. Come on, let's wish Yan Heqing a long and happy life together, and a lifelong bond!"
The moment she finished speaking, a deep male voice entered her hazy mind, "Tong Xuejiao, you wished me a long and happy life together, shouldn't you have said that to my face?"
