However, upon seeing Su Xinyi and her two companions not far away, he immediately got out of the car and went over to greet them.
"Xinyi, Auntie, Xiaoxin, you're here! Shall I go in and say hello to Beiping?" Jiang Hai spoke to the three of them with great respect.
He was even more respectful to Ye Beiping than he was to Ye Beiping.
He knew he could treat Ye Beiping with ease, but he absolutely could not treat the three people in front of him with ease; these three were definitely Ye Beiping's Achilles' heel.
Everyone around them knows.
Su Xinyi instinctively protected her stomach when she saw someone rushing towards her. But after seeing who it was, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "No need, Brother Jiang Hai. We've seen Beiping. He's busy right now, so we'll head back first."
"Yes, Xiao Jiang, you must have something to do in Beiping. You young people go ahead and do your work, we'll head back first."
The three women had come out because Ye Beiping hadn't gone back for lunch, so they ate lunch and came to see what was going on. Tao Qiuyan was relieved to see what had just happened.
Upon hearing that the three wanted to go back, Jiang Hai glanced at Su Xinyi's belly and immediately pointed to a car in the distance, saying, "I have a car, I'll have the driver take you back."
Su Xinyi and the other two looked in the direction the finger was pointing, and their mouths were so wide open that they could fit an egg in their mouths.
Ye Xiaoxin was the first to react, constantly scrutinizing Jiang Hai, even wondering if this man was taking kickbacks or embezzling money from Ye Beiping, otherwise how could he afford a car?
Seeing the three people's reactions, Jiang Hai immediately realized there had been a misunderstanding and explained:
"This was arranged by Sister Zhou in Beiping. She arranged two cars because two leaders from state-owned factories in Wencheng are coming today, and we need to pick them up. So we rented two cars, and they are for our use today."
Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi and the other two nodded in understanding.
Since the car was meant to entertain the leaders, Tao Qiuyan immediately waved her hand and said, "No need, we can walk back. This car is for entertaining the leaders, so we won't keep you any longer."
Su Xinyi nodded in agreement.
Standing to the side, Ye Xiaoxin stared at the toy car in a daze. Under the hot sunlight, she frowned and bit her lip.
Jiang Hai smiled and said, "The leaders have made all the arrangements. The car is just sitting there empty anyway. We've already paid for it, so even if you don't take it, I'll have the driver take you home. Besides, there's another one available. If something really happens, one car will be enough."
Seeing that the three women still didn't move, he had no choice but to pull Tao Qiuyan to the front of the car and open the back seat.
Pulling Su Xinyi is definitely out of the question. She's pregnant, and there are people all around. If she accidentally falls, it would be a huge mistake.
Ye Xiaoxin wouldn't work either; she's the same age as me, and it would be unsightly for us to be seen pulling and tugging at each other in the street.
However, Tao Qiuyan is different; she is one's elder, and it is reasonable for a junior to invite an elder to get on the bus.
At Jiang Hai's repeated invitations, Tao Qiuyan and Su Xinyi reluctantly smiled and sat in the back seat, while Ye Xiaoxin excitedly sat in the passenger seat.
After greeting the driver, the car slowly started moving.
Tao Qiuyan glanced at Su Xinyi's belly and nodded with a smile. She was willing to get in the car to take care of Su Xinyi; walking such a long distance with a big belly would definitely be tiring for her.
They were originally going to take the bus on their way here, but Su Xinyi was pregnant, and the bus was so crowded that it would be easy to get jostled, so they walked instead.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoxin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, excitedly turned around: "Mom, Xinyi, when do you think Beiping will be able to buy a car like this? It would be so much more convenient for us to go out."
In Pingba Village, having just one bicycle makes them incredibly arrogant; if they owned a car, the entire village would rush over to curry favor with them.
Su Xinyi smiled slightly, and a sense of anticipation began to creep into her heart.
Even for the sake of the children, having a car makes getting around extremely convenient. But this metal thing isn't cheap. I heard my parents say that their company used to buy cars, and each one cost over ten thousand yuan.
Normal families don't have that much money.
Tao Qiuyan rolled her eyes at Ye Xiaoxin: "Do you even know how much this stuff costs? You forget who you are after a couple of nice meals, what a spendthrift!"
His attitude towards his daughter and son is always completely opposite.
Ye Xiaoxin was used to it, and just pursed her lips without paying much attention. She sat in the passenger seat, touching this and that, just like a curious child.
In just over ten minutes, the three women arrived home. It was thanks to the fact that there were few cars these days, and there were no traffic lights or traffic jams on the road.
