At noon.
Du Shaojie prepared a table of seafood. Xiaomei was so happy to see Qi Yan when she came back. They ate and talked without stopping.
"Time flies so fast. Xiaomei has become the president of the bank."
In a trance, Qi Yan felt that she was moving towards an older youth. She couldn't help but look at Du Shaojie with resentment.
This playboy never mentioned marriage. How many years can a woman's youth last?
But she didn't say it out loud, but quickly changed the subject.
"Sister Yanzi is the branch manager, a small official."
Xiaomei was very proud in her heart, but she said it modestly.
Qi Yan glared at her unhappily. This Xiaomei was just like her brother, saying one thing but not another.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Xiaomei went to work. Usually she would take a nap, but today she didn't want to be a light bulb, so she gave the space to her brother and sister Yanzi.
"Oh, I really don't know how my brother will end up."
On the way to the unit, Xiaomei was always worried about her brother.
She knew that her brother had been playing both sides between Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin. Now Sister Yanzi had come to Yangcheng. If Sister Meiqin appeared again, she couldn't imagine the scene.
But she couldn't worry about her brother. After a sigh, she forced herself not to think about it.
After lunch break.
Du Shaojie took Qi Yan to stroll on the street. As the forefront of reform and opening up, this city left a deep impression on Qi Yan.
The other party rarely came once, and he wanted to take the other party to Xiangjiang to play, but it was troublesome to apply for a pass. Because he couldn't ask Cai Jing for help, and it was not appropriate to ask Yu Mo, so he had to call Qin Lu in the end.
"It's a small matter. You can give me your friend's information later, and then apply for a pass according to the management personnel of my company. It will take about three days."
Qin Lu didn't ask much and agreed immediately.
Du Shaojie simply took Qi Yan to Shenzhen, gave the information to Qin Lu first, and then accompanied Qi Yan to play around for two days.
After returning, he got the pass, so the two went directly to Xiangjiang.
Hong Kong is indeed much more prosperous and developed than the mainland now. Qi Yan felt that her eyes were not enough and everything she saw was very novel.
Du Shaojie found it funny and decided to let her experience the high-end service in Hong Kong.
So he did not take her home, but directly checked into the [Regent Hotel] and booked a business suite.
Originally, they planned to go shopping in the afternoon, but Qi Yan seemed very excited after entering the room, and insisted on delaying the time of going out until nightfall.
Seeing Qi Yan walking lazily, Du Shaojie planned to eat something nearby.
As a result, Qi Yan said that she wanted to eat seafood. He thought about it and took a taxi to the seafood restaurant under the Qin Group.
"Sir, Miss, good evening. Do you have a reservation?"
The receptionist's attitude was very good, but he asked the two if they had a reservation as soon as he opened his mouth.
Du Shaojie shook his head and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I'm sorry, if you don't have a reservation, you can't get a seat now. Our place is full every day. You can call before you come next time."
The receptionist told Du Shaojie regretfully that there was no seat tonight, and then gave him a business card.
Du Shaojie glanced at Qi Yan and found that she was very disappointed, so he thought about whether to look for Qin Mingcheng, Qin Lu's father.
At this moment, the manager of the restaurant came over.
"It's Mr. Du, I was busy with something just now, please forgive me for not welcoming you well. Are you here for dinner, Mr. Du?"
Du Shaojie once represented the Qin Group in the [Hong Kong Chef God Competition], and later helped the Qin Group train chefs. Many people know him.
For example, the manager in front of him has seen him before.
"Yes, I didn't expect your business to be so good."
Du Shaojie smiled, but he didn't have much impression of this manager.
"You are the chairman's guest, how can I let you go in vain? Please follow me, I will help you arrange it."
The manager waved his hand to let the receptionist go, and he personally took Du Shaojie and Qi Yan in.
No matter how much business he has, there are usually reserved seats here, just to deal with emergencies.
The two followed the manager to a seat by the window and sat down. Du Shaojie ordered a few signature dishes of the restaurant and a bottle of red wine.
"Shaojie, do you know the owner of this restaurant?"
Qi Yan was originally planning to leave, but something unexpected happened and the two of them did not come in vain.
She actually did not know much about Du Shaojie's social connections, and the pass issue shocked her a little. Although the meal was a small matter, it could be seen that the other party had a lot of connections.
"I don't know many people here, but I have a good relationship with the Qin Group."
Du Shaojie did not think there was anything to brag about, so he responded lightly.
Then the two began to eat. To be honest, the restaurants in Hong Kong are good at making seafood, with a unique flavor and really good taste.
Of course, the consumption here is also very high, and Qi Yan can't afford this meal with a month's salary.
After the meal, Du Shaojie went to pay the bill, and the manager even gave him a discount. He did not have the power to waive the bill, and it was impossible for him to bother the chairman for such a small matter.
Du Shaojie was very satisfied. If the bill was really waived, he might not come again.
After leaving the restaurant, the two strolled on the neon-lit streets, and neither wanted to go back to the hotel so early.
"Shaojie, it would be great if I could go out for a walk with you every night."
Qi Yan held his arm, showing the tenderness of a woman.
However, Du Shaojie knew her character very well. She was not a docile kitten, but a rose with thorns.
"I will go to Beijing more often when I am free in the future. Yan Zi, let's go back early after a while. I will go shopping with you tomorrow."
Du Shaojie smiled and nodded, and at the same time, he felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
It seems that there are not many days of freedom. Qi Yan has secretly expressed her thoughts. He can't pretend to be confused all the time.
But on the other side, there is Liang Meiqin. He can't let go of this or that, so he can only use the "delay tactic" for the time being.
Back to the hotel.
The two continued to have in-depth exchanges until late at night.
The next day, they got up late and the hotel's breakfast time was over.
Du Shaojie took Qi Yan to have a Hong Kong-style breakfast, and then the two went shopping.
"Shaojie, this dress is beautiful, but it's too expensive."
When Qi Yan was choosing clothes, her eyes were dazzled. She had never seen many styles of clothes before, but she liked them at first sight.
The clothing industry in the mainland has just started, and many styles of clothes follow the trends in Hong Kong. If Hong Kong has any new clothes, the mainland will imitate their patterns to make them, and the gap is still very obvious.
But when Qi Yan saw the price of the clothes, she couldn't help but smack her lips.
"Yanzi, don't worry about the price, as long as it's comfortable and good-looking."
Du Shaojie knew that the other party wanted to save money for him, so he asked the clerk to pack up all the clothes that Qi Yan liked.
When they went out, they carried large and small bags, and tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars were spent.
Afterwards, he took Qi Yan to buy cosmetics and backpacks. After buying clothes, naturally, shoes had to be bought. He also bought her a few jewelry by the way. If Qi Yan hadn't stopped him, he would have kept buying.
Of course, he didn't forget his family and bought them gifts.
Before they knew it, they had spent more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in the morning, which made Qi Yan upset.
"Ajie, I'm tired, let's go back."
Qi Yan dragged Du Shaojie to get a taxi and fled directly back to the hotel.
After entering the house, her heart was still beating wildly. To put it bluntly, she was just an ordinary lecturer, and she couldn't even afford a lipstick for a month's work. How could she have seen such a large amount of consumption?
Du Shaojie could understand. After returning, he said nothing, took a shower and went to sleep for a while.
The two stayed in Hong Kong for a week and then returned to Guangzhou.
At the end of the vacation, Du Shaojie bought a plane ticket for Qi Yan and sent her to the airport.
When they parted, Qi Yan hugged Du Shaojie and cried until he promised to go to Beijing at least three times a year, which made Qi Yan burst into tears and laugh.
When he returned home and had just made a pot of tea, Cai Jing and Liang Meiqin knocked on the gate of the yard.
"Sister Cai, Meiqin, come in quickly. You didn't call before you came. If I'm not at home, wouldn't you have come here in vain?"
Du Shaojie felt that it was a close call. He almost let Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin run into each other.
In fact, he also knew that after such a long time, it was impossible for them to not have guesses, and they had even been certain of some things in their hearts.
But guesses are guesses, and it is best for the king not to meet the king.
If they ran into each other in Yangcheng, he didn't know what would happen. In short, it was because of his greed that led to this situation today.
"You have to answer the phone! I called you several times but couldn't find you. Later, I asked Meng Gang and knew that you were in Yangcheng, so I came directly.
Ajie, stop talking nonsense. Meiqin and I are almost starving. Is there anything to eat?"
Cai Jing and Liang Meiqin came to the province to do business. They were busy all morning and haven't had lunch yet.
Du Shaojie was the same. He came back from the airport and didn't even drink a sip of water before the two of them came.
"Don't cook so late, you guys sit down first, I'll go get some food."
Seeing that the two were really hungry, Du Shaojie went out to Hou San's place.
Later, he came back with a [roast duck] and some marinated products.
He cut a plate of [roast duck] and a plate of [marinated platter]. After a while, two [grilled fish] were sent over from the [barbecue restaurant].
Du Shaojie quickly made a [blanched broccoli]. Xiaomei just happened to come back, so everyone sat down to eat.
"Xiaomei, why are you always looking at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Xiaomei looked at Liang Meiqin and thought, what a close call!
Liang Meiqin thought there was something dirty on her face, but after looking in the mirror for a long time, she didn't find anything unusual.
Du Shaojie glared at Xiaomei, then asked, "Sister Cai, are you here to do some business?"
"Yes, we have been in the province all morning, and we have already done the business. By the way, Ajie, the company is preparing for a new round of capital increase and stock expansion. Do you plan to subscribe to the additional shares?" (End of this chapter)
