Chapter 120 Meeting a Colleague
Ai Xiaoxia stood up and walked towards the bedroom, saying, "I was just cleaning up. I haven't finished yet, so it's a bit messy. Don't mind."
Lin Fangfang said, "I'm sorry for coming here so presumptuously. I'm sorry for disturbing my sister-in-law's work."
"I'm just messing around." He went into the house and opened the wardrobe: "Take a look, do you like anything?"
Lin Fangfang looked at him in amazement: "Sister-in-law, your clothes are really beautiful. We all say that Mr. Lu dresses differently now, and he looks very stylish. Several boys want to imitate Mr. Lu's clothes, but they don't dare to tell him."
Ai Xiaoxia laughed when she heard this: "That's just his personality. He's actually quite easygoing."
Lin Fangfang scratched her head: "Anyway, we are all afraid of him."
Ai Xiaoxia noticed that Lu Jingshen's image at work was always cold, but she didn't want to emphasize it, so she didn't mention it. She took out a camel-colored fleece top and a plaid skirt, and compared them to Lin Fangfang. "This set suits you very well."
Lin Fangfang held two pieces of clothing and stood in front of the mirror: "They look really good, sister-in-law, you have amazing taste. Can I come to your place more often to learn from you in the future?"
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Of course, it's not a big deal."
"Sister-in-law, you are so kind. Can I take this and follow your example?"
"Well, you can take it, but you have to be careful about the choice of fabric. A lighter color for the top will actually work. Find a larger ready-made clothing store with a full range of fabrics and experienced tailors. The material and pattern will be more suitable for your figure."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. My eldest aunt runs a garment shop and has been doing it for many years. It will be no problem for me to work for her."
"That's fine, I'll put it on for you. There's no need to return it in a hurry. I have a lot of clothes."
"Okay, then it's a deal, sister-in-law. I owe you a meal. If I have the chance, I will definitely treat you."
"Okay, I've got it." As she spoke, Ai Xiaoxia packed the clothes in a brown paper bag and handed it to Lin Fangfang.
Lin Fangfang thanked him again, then said goodbye happily and left.
After seeing Lin Fangfang off, Ai Xiaoxia smiled. She didn't know what Lu Jingshen was like at work and why others were so afraid of him.
Ai Xiaoxia tidied up the house again and it was soon noon.
Lu Jingshen came back with food, and after they finished eating, they drove to the barbecue restaurant and gave the car to Sun Qiang.
When we arrived at the barbecue restaurant, it was noon and there were a lot of people. It was not the weekend, so there was no queue, but it was basically full.
The two went upstairs and Sun Qiang was there, happily looking at the account book.
Seeing Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen coming, Sun Qiang was very happy. He stood up and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, please sit down. Our store had a record high in revenue yesterday. The net profit for the day was almost 1,500 yuan."
Now Sun Qiang no longer calls Shen Brother, but just calls him Brother and Sister-in-law.
Ai Xiaoxia really didn't expect this: "So many, were you super busy yesterday? I'll have to be here next weekend too."
As she spoke, she and Lu Jingshen sat down on the sofa opposite Sun Qiang.
Sun Qiang also sat down again and said, "No, the store is operating normally now, so we don't need to come every day. The main reason is that two tables of big customers came yesterday and drank."
Ai Xiaoxia understood what this meant. This was good wine, the kind with high profits. "Then we have to maintain such customers."
Sun Qiang said: "I gave you a discount and also gave you the VIP card that I asked you to make. I told you that you can get a discount if you use the card in the future."
"That's fine. I really didn't expect business to be so good."
"Me too. It's much better than we thought."
Lu Jingshen looked at the two of them and said, "You guys make money really fast. You earned my monthly salary in just a few hours."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at him and said, "Isn't this all ours? How would I make money without you?"
Sun Qiang looked at the two of them and said, "It's so sweet."
Lu Jingshen smiled: "Then you should find a girlfriend quickly."
Sun Qiang said: "Do you think I don't want to? There is no suitable one. Brother, are there any singles in your unit? Introduce one to me."
Lu Jingshen curled his lips: "I don't even know if that girl is married or not. I don't know much about this."
Sun Qiang sighed: "Brother, you have to pay more attention to your brother's affairs."
Lu Jingshen said, "You should ask your sister-in-law about this matter."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the library to study in a few days when I'm free. I'm going to prepare for the night college entrance exam. I promise to meet some young girls by then, and I'll keep an eye out for you."
She had discussed this with Lu Jingshen before. Going to the library was indeed a good idea. It was quiet and the study environment was good.
Sun Qiang nodded happily and said, "My sister-in-law is still thinking about me."
After chatting and laughing for a while, Lu Jingshen remembered that Sun Qiang liked riding motorcycles and he had more than one or two motorcycles, so he asked him about finding a place for Li Wensong to be an apprentice.
It just so happened that Sun Qiang had a friend who was a car mechanic. They were both into cars and liked motorcycles. That friend had his own repair shop that also repaired cars. They had a good relationship, so they just needed to give each other a heads up.
Originally, Ai Xiaoxia wanted to go out and find a place by herself, but she didn't expect that the problem would be solved this way. She had to admit that Sun Qiang's network of contacts was really wide.
However, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen did not plan to take Li Wensong over so hastily. They wanted him to stay at their home for a few days and accompany Li Shaofen.
And they have to rent a house for him. After all, the car repair shop does not provide food and accommodation, but he is still a minor, so Ai Xiaoxia plans to help him find a shared house, preferably one where the old couple has a spare room and can eat there.
These are not a big deal. There are many houses for rent near the school. There are many vacant houses in this season, so it is not difficult to find a suitable one.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Jingshen also had to go back to work, so Ai Xiaoxia saw him out.
As soon as I went downstairs, I saw four of Lu Jingshen’s colleagues having dinner here. They had just paid the bill and were about to leave.
Lu Jingshen took Ai Xiaoxia over and greeted them.
The four of them were all male colleagues. They were not in the same office with Lu Jingshen, but were next door. However, they were all familiar with each other.
They are all young people. They heard about this barbecue restaurant and came to try it out during their free time at noon.
Lu Jingshen introduced his wife Ai Xiaoxia to them.
A talkative boy named Li Yang, wearing glasses and with a flat head, looked at Lu Jingshen with envy: "Mr. Lu is so lucky to have such a beautiful sister-in-law. Are you guys here for dinner too?"
Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia had said before that this was not something that needed to be concealed, but there was no need to publicize it. Just let it happen naturally. They were colleagues and friends, so it would be enough to introduce them whenever they met.
So now that someone asked, Lu Jingshen answered honestly: "This store is co-opened by my wife and a friend. It's been busy recently, so I came to take a look."
Several boys became nervous and looked at Ai Xiaoxia as if they wanted to see something.
