Chapter 896: Old Habits Die Hard
"OK."
Yawning, Huang Ying looked at an arrangement on the schedule and replied quickly with her fingers.
It doesn't matter how many schedules she has. What matters is that she, as the director of the president's office, must be efficient, including her efficiency in replying to text messages.
After a casual breakfast, Zhou Anan got on a Volkswagen and headed for her hometown in Lizhou.
“You can eat now.”
After setting up breakfast, Wang Jingbi came out of the dining room and shouted to someone in the living room.
"No salted duck eggs today?"
Looking at the white porridge in front of him, Li Dongcheng, holding a white steamed bun in his hand, asked casually.
White porridge without salted duck eggs is like porridge without soul.
"Yes, but first you have to tell me about your meeting with that young man yesterday."
Wang Jingbi, who was already familiar with her husband's taste, smiled and showed the salted duck eggs in her hand and stated her conditions.
“Alas, I have no human rights anymore.”
Putting down the chopsticks and steamed buns in his hands, Li Dongcheng sighed in pretended frustration, and then talked about his impression: "Although the young man is not handsome, he has a good temperament. When we met and chatted, he was calm and composed, with the demeanor of a general. Considering his success in just three years, it is rare and precious."
"What else?"
When Wang Jingbi heard her husband praising the young man who was suspected to be her future son-in-law, her wrinkle-free fair face was full of smiles, and she picked up a knife and cut the salted duck egg.
"He has a strong ability to comprehend. It's very comfortable to chat with him."
In order to get the salted duck egg, Li Dongcheng did not hesitate to praise the young man whom he admired.
He had received a report from his secretary this morning, and the young man had indeed listened to his words and understood the deep meaning behind them.
By the way, he, who is in charge of the economy of Jiangxi Province, also achieved another impressive result.
"So did you guys talk about Xiao Xiao?"
Putting the salted duck egg cut into four small pieces in front of her husband, Wang Jingbi asked very clearly what she wanted to know.
"Well, we were talking about serious matters last night, so we didn't say much. Besides, neither Xiaoxiao nor he knows what's going on, and if I bring it up rashly, it will inevitably backfire."
Eating salted duck eggs with white porridge and taking a bite of white steamed bun, Li Dongcheng felt that his hungry stomach was greatly comforted.
Of course he couldn't report to his wife the gossip that was said after drinking last night, and no one would tell her anyway.
"That's true too. If I have time, I'll go to Xiaoxiao to find out what's going on."
Wang Jingbi highly praised her husband's cautious approach and considerately added a few pickles to the steamed bun in her husband's hand.
The Volkswagen was parked steadily by the Lizhou River. Zhou Anan tapped the middle armrest with her fingers. Her eyes fell on her cousin who was busy in the Qinglan Coffee Shop not far away. She couldn't help but frowned.
After sitting in the car and waiting for about ten minutes, Zhou Anan walked over when she saw that the store was a little empty.
"Brother, you're back?!"
When he saw his cousin, Zhou Shun smiled and called out.
"Well, are you free at noon? Let's have lunch together."
The first time he came, Zhou Anan didn’t order coffee directly. Instead, she invited the other party.
"At noon? Okay, I'll arrange it."
After hearing what his cousin said, Zhou Shun nodded in agreement without any doubt.
"Okay, I'll wait over there. Ask your girlfriend to come along."
Pointing to the reading corner not far away, Zhou Anan added a name.
"Well, brother, what do you want? I'll make it for you."
"No, just give me a glass of water."
"good."
"Brother, we are ready, where are we going to eat?"
After sitting in the corner and reading quietly for half an hour, Zhou Anan saw her cousins coming over after changing their clothes, so she stood up and walked out: "Let's go to the Blue Sky Cafe. Take my car."
Zhou Shun didn't react. Qian Yuqin's eyes sparkled as she saw her cousin so graceful for the first time. She didn't think the car her cousin was talking about was the Audi bought by her boyfriend's uncle.
Sure enough, the cousin brought them to a black car, and the brand on the wheel looked like a Volkswagen.
"Yuqin, please sit in the front. I want to talk to Ah Shun."
The back seat couldn't accommodate three people, so Zhou Anan asked her cousin's girlfriend to sit in the passenger seat.
"OK."
Perhaps guessing what her cousin was going to say, Qian Yuqin got into the car obediently and nodded to the driver in the driver's seat.
Looking at the unusual interior of the car and the driver, Qian Yuqin did not think that this was an ordinary Volkswagen. Could this be the legendary Volkswagen with letters on it?
Suddenly, Qian Yuqin recalled some interesting stories she had heard from customers in the foot bath shop, and couldn't help but speculate.
If this is true, how much money does this mysterious cousin have? ?
"Brother, what kind of car do you have? It doesn't look cheap."
Zhou Shun, who got into the car, didn't have as many thoughts as his girlfriend. He looked at the luxurious interior and asked directly.
"The Volkswagen Phaeton is only worth about a million yuan."
Seeing the other party asked, Zhou Anan also gave a brief answer.
"About a million. Is this the Volkswagen with letters on it?"
As a normal man who occasionally cared about car brands, Zhou Shun had naturally heard of this car and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Well, I heard that you passed the driving test. Have you thought about what kind of car to buy?"
Since they were talking about cars, Zhou Anan didn't change the subject and just asked.
"Of course I want to buy a car, but I don't have the money. My parents are building a house, and they borrowed a lot of money from my uncle and haven't paid it back yet."
After the brief excitement, Zhou Shun felt a little disappointed when talking about his own affairs. He didn't even bother to find out why his cousin had such a luxurious car.
"So, you're thinking of going to the arcade to make a little more money?"
Zhou Anan asked casually, taking out a bottle of ice water from the car's small refrigerator and handing it over.
I received a message this morning from Qian Yuqin, saying that my cousin had returned to his old habits and went to the game hall to play slot machines.
I was lucky enough to win 500 yuan.
The two had a big fight about this, and Qian Yuqin thought of sending him a message.
Based on the principle that she only has this one cousin, Zhou Anan still feels that she cannot sit idly by, lest it causes unnecessary conflicts in the family in the future.
"I"
Upon hearing his cousin's words, Zhou Shun was suddenly startled and subconsciously looked at his girlfriend in the passenger seat in front of him.
I wanted to say something, but I felt that I had no reason to speak, and I was too embarrassed to argue in front of my cousin.
"Don't look at others. Why, you don't dare to admit what you did?"
Noticing the other party's little action, Zhou Anan directly provoked the other party.
"I didn't deny it. I was just in a bad mood yesterday. I played a few rounds when I passed by there."
For some reason, when Zhou Shun heard his cousin's calm tone, he felt an inexplicable pressure and admitted it obediently.
“How much did you earn?”
"I won 500."
"So how much do you two have in savings now?"
"Most of my salary is with Xiaoqing. I gave my father 50,000 yuan before, so there should be more than 30,000 yuan left."
"Brother, we have 46,000 in savings."
At this time, Qian Yuqin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and added a sentence.
"When did we have so much money?"
After hearing what his girlfriend said, Zhou Shun asked in surprise, but his girlfriend rolled her eyes at him: "You didn't ask either."
"We're here. If you have anything to say, let's go to the box and talk."
The car stopped at this time. Zhou Anan had no intention of continuing chatting in the car, so she got out first and walked out.
