Recently, Director Wang has had many performances and frequent business trips, so she can no longer help with choosing a branch school location. She could only draw a map for Qin Xiaoyu and let her find the location herself.
"I'll take you there," Zhou Xing volunteered. Qin Xiaoyu glanced at the map and agreed. The place was a bit remote, and she would have to change buses. She was unfamiliar with the area and a little scared.
"You've arranged everything, but you might not be back that day. I want to take you to meet someone." Zhou Xing clearly wanted to do more than just help her choose a school location.
"I didn't agree to that."
"I don't need your consent, I'm just letting you know."
Sometimes Zhou Xing's arrogant attitude is quite infuriating, but it's also inexplicably cute. Although Qin Xiaoyu pouted, she still obediently got into the car.
The western part of the city is not as bustling as the eastern part. It was originally a quiet little town, and the further west you go, the more deserted it becomes.
Perhaps because she was out of everyone's sight, Qin Xiaoyu's mood improved. Looking at the lush green fields outside the car window, her eyes were full of hope.
"Don't you want to know what happened yesterday?"
"Um?"
"Bai Weiwei came to me and said she wanted to break us up and that she had to have me no matter what."
"Oh, I didn't know you were so amazing. Go on then."
What do you mean?
"Nothing, I just thought it would be fun. Break them up? She said it so casually."
"That's true. I also think she's delusional. Can someone else really break us up?"
"Don't be so sure, that's not necessarily true." Qin Xiaoyu wasn't very confident about their future.
"We'll see. I haven't done anything, so I won't make any promises to make you believe me. Just wait and see."
The road ahead was in bad condition, bumpy and uneven, making it very uncomfortable. Qin Xiaoyu felt a little unwell and was experiencing motion sickness.
"Let me drive for a while."
"You?" Zhou Xing slammed on the brakes in surprise, looking at her with disbelief.
“Driving was very common in our time, but we mostly learned to drive automatic cars. I need to get used to your manual one. It’s okay, there are no cars on the road anyway, I’ll drive slowly and practice.” Qin Xiaoyu needed his help, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she smiled and shook his arm gently.
Zhou Xing had no resistance and obediently gave up the driver's seat.
Qin Xiaoyu tried driving for a while, and surprisingly, she drove quite well. She glanced at Zhou Xing triumphantly, only to find that his expression was even more smug.
What kind of expression is that?
“My wife can drive, which makes me look good,” Zhou Xing chuckled.
"Here we go again, who's your wife!" Qin Xiaoyu glared at him.
The location Commander Wang mentioned was indeed very suitable for opening a hairdressing school. This two-story building stood alone, surrounded by a large residential area.
"Looks like a hosiery factory." Qin Xiaoyu and Zhou Xing looked around and came to this conclusion.
"They must have moved the factory. But they'll have to use their own boiler for heating, which is a bit of a hassle." Zhou Xing was quite thoughtful.
"We can't expect too much from this. We can't expect to benefit from the military region's resources all the time. We'll just have to burn our own coal. Look over there, is that a coal mine?" Qin Xiaoyu stood on the second-floor balcony, shading her eyes with her hand as she gazed into the distance.
"I heard that the coal plant is also going to be relocated, and this railway line will be abandoned."
"It's such a pity that such a large piece of land is now empty. It would be so great if we could buy it," Qin Xiaoyu said enviously.
"What's the use of empty land? You're not going to turn it all into a school."
"Are you stupid? In ten years, that land will be money! Lots and lots of money!" Qin Xiaoyu wanted to say that he was short-sighted, but she swallowed her words to save face for him.
"You little money-grubber, just how big is your ambition? How much money do you want to make?" Zhou Xing glanced at her helplessly.
"Make more money than you can ever spend."
"What's the use of having so much money? I already have more money than I can spend."
"Of course it's useful. You've never been poor, you don't understand. Only with enough money can you do what you want to do and help those you want to help." Qin Xiaoyu raised her head, letting the wind blow across her cheeks, her heart filled with ambition. She was determined to take over that land within two years.
“Okay, I don’t want to think about it too much. Whatever you say is right.” Zhou Xing didn’t argue with her.
"Why are you being so easy to talk to now? Have you forgotten how pathetic you used to be?" Qin Xiaoyu asked curiously.
"So-and-so? What did you have to do with me back then? Why should I give in to you? It's different now. You're my wife. If I don't spoil you, who will?" Zhou Xing said nonchalantly, his skin thick enough. Qin Xiaoyu couldn't handle such words. Her face turned red, and she ran downstairs.
After leaving the sock factory, Zhou Xing picked up the car and drove in another direction.
"Where are we going? You didn't tell me. I'm so nervous."
"What's there to be nervous about? I don't think you're afraid of anything."
"cut."
"What does this mean? Explain it to me. I need all the answers within two minutes." Zhou Xing was taking Qin Xiaoyu's strange remarks seriously and had even learned some of them.
I'm not telling you that.
"That's not a nice thing to say, you're insulting me." Zhou Xing pulled the car over to the side of the road and reached out to grab Qin Xiaoyu.
Qin Xiaoyu couldn't unbuckle her seatbelt for a moment, so he pressed her down on the seat and made her yawn.
"Alright! Stop fooling around, let's go. I shouldn't have come out with you." Qin Xiaoyu pleaded with a giggle.
"Anyway, you're mine, you can't escape me. Before I met you, the last thing I believed in was fate, but now I do." Zhou Xing started the car again.
"I didn't believe it at first either, but now I see that many things are destined, like how I became Hanhan's mother, and how Hanhan met your parents, it's all so amazing."
"It's no exaggeration to say that my mom has never been fond of children. Her love for me was limited to dressing me up neatly and taking me out to show off. When I was little, I was sick and vomited. She immediately pinched her nose and went to the nanny, saying, 'Quickly clean me up, it's disgusting.'" Zhou Xing imitated his mother's mannerisms, which was quite comical, but Qin Xiaoyu couldn't laugh at all.
It seems that Zhou Yue and Zhou Xing knew nothing about the older sister who died young. I wonder how deep the wound was in Zhou Xing's mother's heart.
"But it's completely different with my little sister. A while ago, she had diarrhea and accidentally spilled it on the sheets. She was so scared she cried. My mom picked her up and comforted her, saying it was okay, it was okay, Grandma didn't care that she was smelly, she was still my precious little one. She even called me over to give her a shot. Hearing that, I..."
Are you jealous?
"Hmm, a little."
"Hahaha." Qin Xiaoyu couldn't hold back any longer when she saw Zhou Xing's aggrieved look. No matter how old a man is, he's still just a child.
Wait a minute, aren't they big pig trotters?
