Chapter 434 Let’s Go to the Zoo Together
"I know what you're thinking, but you're not alone now. You still have me." Lu Jingyou didn't think finding a factory was a trivial matter. She didn't look for him, which meant she didn't want to rely on him. But he quickly calmed himself down and reached out to hold her hand. "Even if I can't help, I'll find another way."
Or maybe he didn't do enough.
If he knew that she was interested in finding a factory, she wouldn't have kept it from him.
"I see. I really didn't think it was a big deal." Su Jiaojiao asked him about the Beijing Suburban Industrial Park. Lu Jingyou actually knew about it. "The Beijing Suburban Industrial Park will start soliciting investment and construction next year. If you're interested, I'll take care of it."
"Okay, then I'll leave this to you." Su Jiaojiao felt relieved when she heard that they would invite investors to undertake the construction next year. "Look, you're suited to this kind of big thing. Renting a factory is a small matter. I don't want to disturb you."
"Okay, I agree with your point of view, but I hope that in the future, no matter big or small, you will come to me." Lu Jingyou squeezed her hand, "Remember?"
"Hate it, you pinched me and it hurt." Su Jiaojiao felt pain in her hand and quickly shook his hand off. Lu Jingyou smiled and took her hand, then blew on it. "Does it still hurt?"
"I won't talk to you anymore." Su Jiaojiao pulled her hand back, threw the leaves in her hand at him, stood up and left. Lu Jingyou immediately followed her, "Let's go to the wild animal area. There are tigers, lions, and wolves there."
"When did you come here?" Su Jiaojiao asked him.
"I came here twice when I was in college." Lu Jingyou held the umbrella with one hand and put his arm around her waist with the other. "Except for the cherry blossom trees growing a lot thicker, nothing else has changed. The ticket price hasn't changed either."
"The first time I came here, it was our neighbor, the old lady, who brought me here. It was also in the afternoon. We even went to eat yellow croaker noodles together." Thinking of the two old ladies, Su Jiaojiao smiled. "It's a pity that they moved away. I don't know if we can meet again in the future."
"You neighbors get along so well with each other." Lu Jingyou didn't know that the old lady Su Jiaojiao was talking about was his grandmother.
He hardly ever went back home during the renovation of his house.
Lu Jia and Lin Manli never mentioned this to him.
"That's right." Su Jiaojiao leaned into his arms and said with emotion, "I often go to their house for dinner!"
Feeling her closeness, he stopped by the roadside, bent down and kissed her lips, his voice low: "They are so nice to you, do they have any intentions?"
"What are you thinking?" Su Jiaojiao said coquettishly, "She's just kind and easy to get along with. What could she possibly be up to?"
The two of them stood by the road and said a few sweet words to each other before continuing to move forward. After a while, they entered the wild animal area.
The wild animal area is full of rockery. In front of the rockery, a 20 to 30-meter-wide ditch is dug for protection. The two tigers are separated by a stone wall, and each walks leisurely on the grass.
Su Jiaojiao didn't come here with the two old ladies last time. She leaned on the railing and watched with great interest. She could clearly see the patterns on the tiger's body and even the expression on the tiger's face.
Now that she thinks about it, she is indeed a dull and boring person. In her previous life, she was always busy with work and had never been to Nanshan Park, let alone knowing that there was a zoo in the park.
What a loss!
The beast area is located at a higher elevation, with a cool breeze blowing through.
Su Jiaojiao didn't want to leave. Not only can you see tigers and lions here, but the scenery is also beautiful, with small bridges, flowing water, rockery and pavilions, it is like being in a beautiful painting.
Lu Jingyou didn't like watching animals, but seeing how excited she was, he didn't want to rush her. His cell phone kept ringing and he couldn't refuse it. There were too many people watching the tigers and it was too noisy, so he had to go to the roadside to answer the phone.
Besides Wang Hua and Qi Heng, there was another unfamiliar caller with an unfamiliar accent: "Lu Jingyou, please tell Lu Jiaping that if he doesn't return the money he cheated us out of, don't blame us for being rude. We can do anything."
"Who are you?" Lu Jingyou asked.
"We are the victims!" The other party was a man who sounded to be in his thirties or forties. "Lu Jiaping cheated us out of our money and wanted to get away with it. No way."
"You should go find Lu Jiaping for what he did, why are you looking for me?"
"If he'd answered our call, we wouldn't have come after you. To be honest, if the handicraft issue can't be resolved, we won't let him go. Just wait and see!"
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Lu Jingyou remembered that Qin Xiuming had mentioned Yu Tian and Su Jiaojiao's relationship, so he walked over and asked Su Jiaojiao, "How much do you know about handicrafts?"
Su Jiaojiao then told Lu Jingyou about her last visit to Yu Tian's house. "Now the Yu family suspects your second uncle used Qin Shuang as bait to defraud Yu Baiqiang of three million. They've already reported it to the police, but I don't know how far the investigation has progressed."
"Three million?" Lu Jingyou was also surprised when he heard it. "Why is it so much?"
He knew that Yu Baiqiang had lost money on his investment in handicrafts, but he didn't know that the loss was so huge.
What on earth is his second uncle doing?
"Yes." Su Jiaojiao said seriously, "They won't let it go until this matter is resolved."
"I'll ask him about it when I get back." The call came to him, so he couldn't just ignore it.
"Let's go back now!" After seeing the monkeys, tigers and lions, Su Jiaojiao didn't want to walk around anymore. No matter how good the scenery was, she couldn't see it all in one go. She would come back next time.
When passing by a cold drink shop, Lu Jingyou asked Su Jiaojiao what she wanted to drink. Su Jiaojiao said she couldn't drink cold drinks and she had hot water in her car.
"If you're not feeling well, don't run around." Lu Jingyou understood. "You just looked at the factory and now you're here to see the monkeys. You don't need to look at the equipment tomorrow. Rest at home and I'll take care of it for you."
"It's okay." Su Jiaojiao said disapprovingly, "You don't understand..."
"What don't I understand?" Lu Jingyou looked at her with a half-smile. Su Jiaojiao's face turned red when he asked her, "Stop talking. Let's go."
On the way, Lu Jingyou suggested going out for dinner.
Su Jiaojiao refused, saying that it was not convenient for her today and they would make an appointment another day.
After leaving Nanshan Park, the two drove away separately.
Lu Jingyou returned to the old house and told Grandpa Lu about the anonymous call: "Grandpa, I think the matter of the handicraft is more complicated than we imagined. If we don't take action, something bad will happen sooner or later."
"I'll call your second uncle back right away." Old Master Lu also felt that the matter was a bit serious. When Lu Jiaping heard that it was about the handicraft, he immediately rushed back. "I am really innocent, don't make blind guesses."
"Uncle, since you're innocent, why don't you dare answer their calls?" Lu Jingyou found the number and showed it to him. "Look, this is a city number. They'll come knocking on your door sooner or later."
"I'm not afraid even if you come to me." Lu Jiaping said confidently, "Don't worry about this matter. I can handle it myself."
"You can handle it yourself, why would they call Jingyou?" Mr. Lu didn't believe Lu Jiaping. "Don't hide it from us. Tell us now. Let's solve it together instead of living under the threat of others."
"Uncle, if you refuse to tell us, we can only go to the police station to find out what happened." Lu Jingyou looked at him calmly, "Or, I can ask Qin Shuang and Yu Baiqiang..."
"Just ask." Lu Jiaping remained calm.
