Chapter 478 Gifts under the Old Osmanthus Tree
"You are a person who can read people's hearts. You should know from his voice and tone that he really likes Hong Bin and is not pretending, right?" Huang Ling raised her eyebrows towards Zhu Xiu Yu and asked with a smile.
Zhu Xiuyu nodded.
The leader has seen countless guests in the restaurant, and it is very normal for these people to have two faces. Naturally, she must be able to distinguish them in order to better serve these extraordinary diners.
"This is...the girl's father," Zhu Xiu Yu asked timidly.
"yes."
"Director Zheng Hongbin of Changzhou Post and Telecommunications Bureau was on a business trip there two days ago." Zhu Xiu Yu asked again.
"clever."
Huang Ling told her about Hongbin's visit today.
After hearing this, Zhu Xiuyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, he knew to come to you. If he had come to me, I'm afraid the result would be different."
"Sister Yu, show me that pride you've worked so hard to cultivate! The son you raised has surpassed 99% of young people, and your current assets also surpass 99% of ordinary people. If you're trying to teach Hongbin to hold his chin up, you need to hold your own chin up first!"
Huang Ling patted Zhu Xiuyu's hand.
Zhu Xiu Yu felt as if her heart was hit hard. After a long time, she nodded heavily.
"Also, remember to pretend you don't know and don't sell me out. Selling me out won't be a big deal, but it may also make him consider you more when facing this relationship, which will have more or less an impact on him. Just wait until their relationship is stable and he will tell you himself!" Huang Ling explained.
"I know......"
When Huang Ling looked up, she saw Zhu Xiuyu crying.
"Why are you so close to Song Ying? You cry at the slightest thing. Stop crying, or you'll come back with red eyes and Hongbin will notice!"
"Oh, okay." Zhu Xiu Yu quickly wiped the tears from her face.
The next day on the train from Suzhou to Shanghai, the mother and son attracted the attention of everyone in the carriage because they were each holding a dog-shaped pillow.
They couldn't find a suitable bag to put the things in at home yesterday, and they had to leave early in the morning, so the two of them just carried the things on the train.
After getting off the train, Zhu Xiuyu suggested:
"Hongbin, you definitely can't carry it back like this. What if someone comes looking for you along the way? Then the person you want to send it to won't be there. Let's go to Suihua Building first. I'll put it in an invisible bag for you."
"Mom, you're really thoughtful. I won't be coming over this weekend. I'm going to deliver the puppy to Xiaoting and Dongzhe. If you need anything, just call me."
"Okay, Mom knows." Zhu Xiu Yu replied.
The two of them first returned to Suihua Tower to pack the pillows.
Then, Zhu Xiu Yu turned and went into her office, and when she came out, she handed a manila envelope to Hong Bin.
Hong Bin took a look and saw a stack of big unity notes inside, so he quickly pushed it back:
"Mom, why are you giving me money? I have a salary! You don't want my salary, and I don't spend much money normally. I save it all."
"Mom knows, but you've been working here for a few months, and you've been getting along with your colleagues for a while. Some of them you can become close friends with, and as for the leaders, it's the right time to get to know them. Some money should be spent." Zhu Xiu Yu stuffed the envelope into Hong Bin's pocket.
In front of his mother and Aunt Huang, Hongbin was really simple. He thought Zhu Xiuyu was talking about giving gifts to the leaders at the end of the year. He thought about it and accepted it. He actually started to think about how, when and what to give.
When he returned to the dormitory with the bag and walked around his room a few times, he mustered up the courage to go to the female staff dormitory and asked the security guard to help call Zheng Shuyun out with a bag of Su-style pastries.
Zheng Shuyun seemed to have run a few steps, panting slightly as he spoke:
"Comrade Zhuang, you're back from your business trip!"
"Well, I went home from Changzhou and just got back today."
"Oh...do you need me for something?"
"I have something to ask. Could you please wait for me downstairs at Lao Gui? I'll come to find you later." Hong Bin asked cautiously.
Zheng Shuyun nodded.
Lao Gui is a common name for it. It is actually an unnamed small garden next to the post office. It got its name because there is a century-old osmanthus tree planted in the small garden.
Zheng Shuyun sat on the stone bench under the tree for a while, and then saw Hongbin jogging towards her with a new suitcase in his hand.
When Hongbin took out the soft and warm puppy pillow from his luggage bag, her eyes lit up.
"Oh, how cute!"
Hongbin was also thinking: Wow, how can it be so cute!
Zheng Shuyun pursed her lips and looked at the dazed Hong Bin. When Hong Bin saw that she didn't answer, he realized:
"This is for you! It's a new product from Aunt Huang's factory, and it's not on the market yet."
Now, Zheng Shuyun happily took it and found that it was warm in her hand, and her eyebrows raised again.
"It's hot, open it here... This hot water bottle is new, I just put it in." Hongbin introduced.
"Ah! That's great! Aunt Huang is so creative, I really admire her..."
Zheng Shuyun realized something was wrong after she said this. She looked up at Hongbin, and they smiled knowingly.
"I have two more and I plan to send them to my younger brother and sister-in-law on the weekend. It's even colder for them at school. Don't you want to go to Yuesheng Department Store? I have a membership card that can give me a discount, and then we can... I can take you shopping... and then we can..." Hongbin spoke incoherently.
Zheng Shuyun took over:
"I want to visit Fudan University. Can I go in?"
"Yes!" Hongbin answered happily.
The two of them made the agreement.
He didn't know how he spent the time from Monday to Saturday. During lunch, Xiang Yuanchao asked him what he was doing on the weekend and whether he wanted to go out together. He had made an appointment with a few alumni.
Hong Bin hurriedly shook his head: "No, I need to go see my younger brothers and sisters."
"Okay, I have an appointment with them for dinner anyway. I'll go see Xiaoting and Dongzhe with you during the day. It's been half a semester and I haven't visited them yet!" Xiang Yuanchao thought for a while and said.
Hong Bin was stunned.
"Why? You are allowed to go and see! I've seen people protecting food, but I've never seen people protecting their younger siblings! They are my younger siblings too!" Xiang Yuanchao joked when he saw how unnatural he was.
"No, I had an appointment with some friends to do something before going to see them." After saying that, Hongbin buried his head in eating.
Xiang Yuanchao looked at him and smiled, as if he understood, and then said:
"Okay, I'll go in a few days."
Dongzhe and Xiaoting were also eating in the cafeteria at this time.
Dongzhe asked Xiaoting to find a seat and he was responsible for serving the food.
He got the last two braised lion heads and put one into Xiaoting's bowl. Seeing that it didn't seem big, he put the other one into her bowl as well.
"The lion heads in school are called lion heads, aren't they? They're smaller than ping-pong balls and look like toys. Try them and see if they taste good. If they don't, I won't play with them next time. I played with the last two, and the guy behind me almost popped his eyes out." He complained.
Xiao Ting took a bite and said, "It's okay."
As he was about to put one back into his bowl, Dongzhe stopped him:
"If it tastes good, you can eat it. If it doesn't taste good, I'll finish it. Brother Bin came to give us something this weekend and said that Auntie asked him to bring it over. I'm sure you like it."
It doesn’t matter whether Hongbin comes these weekends or not, because Xiaoting has entered the review stage, which means that he has to enter the review stage as well, and it is impossible for him to go out and play.
Hongbin asked the two to meet at a restaurant they often went to near the school gate at noon, and they went there after finishing their morning studies.
When I walked to the front of the restaurant, I saw Hongbin and a girl sitting by the window chatting.
