Chapter 52

Lying in bed, Song Shu suddenly remembered that she had not told him that Liang's wife would treat him to dinner tomorrow night. She turned over and decided to forget it and talk about it tomorrow.

At night, Song Shu always felt that something was chasing her in her dreams, causing her to run forward desperately, so much so that when she woke up the next morning, she felt a little depressed.

Chen Zonghao looked at the man sitting in the chair with low spirits and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

After he finished speaking, Song Shu looked up and glared at him, "Nothing, I just had a nightmare last night."

Chen Zonghao, who was glared at, didn't know why she had a nightmare and it seemed like he made her angry. He touched his nose and asked, "What kind of nightmare?"

Song Shu took a sip of soy milk and sighed, "I don't remember." She thought it was all because of this guy who upset her last night. She wanted to continue the conversation and tell him about Liang Sao's visit yesterday. "Shuyi was admitted to the university. Liang Sao plans to host a few tables tonight and asked us to go over for dinner tonight, so you should go home early tonight."

Seeing that she was no longer talking about nightmares, Chen Zonghao nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

After breakfast, Song Shu looked at the store and went back to her room to design clothes. She only looked at the drawings and couldn't resist the sleepiness so she climbed into bed and slept until the afternoon. When she woke up, she felt refreshed.

Song Shu was just about to have afternoon tea after a good sleep, when Tian Tian, ​​who hadn't seen her for a long time, came to her house. Seeing Song Shu getting ready to go out, she raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems I came at the right time."

Hearing that Song Shu was going to have afternoon tea, Tian Tian waved her hand and said, "Today's afternoon tea is on my table. It just so happens that I haven't gone shopping with you for a long time. How about we go shopping after afternoon tea?"

How could Song Shu not agree? She hadn't seen Tian Tian for a long time and she hadn't been shopping much recently. She was planning to buy a gift for Liang Shuyi to celebrate her admission to university. Although Liang's wife said there was no need to prepare any gifts, Liang's wife helped her so much in the past, so it was at least a token of her appreciation.

"Then our big star will take care of all the afternoon tea today." Song Shu walked over, took her hand and walked out.

Fortunately, star-chasing is not so crazy in this era, so Song Shu and Tian Tian will not be blocked by fans who appear out of nowhere when walking on the street.

The two found a tea restaurant and sat down. Tian Tian recommended the delicious food to her while ordering. "I've been to this restaurant before and it's delicious. The French toast, instant noodles, stocking milk tea... are all good. You can try them."

"Okay." Song Shu ordered a few of her favorite dishes based on her recommendations.

After the dishes came, Song Shu and Tian Tian started eating and chatting, each talking about their recent events.

"I received news that the costume drama will start filming next month. Will your costumes be completed in time?" Tian Tian asked while stirring the milk tea in the cup.

"Yeah, it's OK." Song Shu took a bite of the cake and swallowed it. "It's just that I didn't have much inspiration when I started designing in the early stage. Inspiration came later and it was much faster."

Tian Tian nodded and said with some distress: "Then I will also join the team next month."

She just finished filming a movie last month and has not had a long break. Moreover, she has other announcements this month. So her break time is only a little over a week and she will have to join the crew again next month.

But Tian Tian was both happy and sad. After all, if a TV series or a movie asked you to shoot a film, it means you are famous. In the past, when she was not famous, no one might have asked her for half a year. So even though her work intensity is high now, Tian Tian only complains a little in front of her friends.

Song Shu also understood her feelings. Just like her, she needed some time to rest after finishing a design. Otherwise, it would be very painful with her head exploding and her inspiration running out.

The two were chatting, and suddenly Tian Tianyun said calmly, "I broke up with Mr. Zhang."

Song Shu paused while eating. She had heard about this matter before. After all, the biggest entertainment gossip recently was that the paparazzi reported that the second son of the Zhang family and the superstar Tian Tian had a falling out.

However, those reports all said that Tian Tian was kicked out by Zhang Ershao, and that Tian Tian could no longer become a phoenix and her dream of marrying into a wealthy family was shattered. The wording used was extremely gloating and the reports were completely made from the perspective of mocking Tian Tian.

It seems that when a star has a relationship with a rich boy, the star is trying to curry favor with the rich boy, but in their eyes, the star is just something that makes the rich boy amused when he is bored.

Song Shu looked up at it with a sincere look in her eyes, "Don't pay attention to those entertainment reports. Well, to be honest, sometimes I read those entertainment reports as toilet paper at home."

Tian Tian couldn't help laughing. Seeing Ah Shu comforting her seriously, she felt warm in her heart. "I've long been immune to those reports. It's rare that you say these common sayings to comfort me. You don't usually say such things. I shouldn't be unhappy."

"Besides," Tian Tian changed the subject, "I was the one who dumped Young Master Zhang, not him dumping me."

Song Shu was not surprised at all when she heard this, because based on the way Tian Tian and Zhang Ershao got along in the later stages of their relationship, it was obvious that it was Zhang Ershao who was being manipulated, not Tian Tian. So it was Tian Tian who dumped Zhang Ershao, not Zhang Ershao who kicked Tian Tian as the media said.

"Yes, it's okay. This is very Tian Tian." Song Shu gave her a thumbs up.

Tian Tian raised her chin slightly, "That's right, actually the reason I dumped him was because he was hindering my career too much."

Tian Tian felt a little annoyed when she said this. It was fine at the beginning. Young Master Zhang liked her very much and she could get some acting opportunities from him. They both needed emotional feedback and benefits from each other. It can be said that they hit it off and got along quite happily. Moreover, Young Master Zhang was considered to be handsome and generous among the rich second generation, so Tian Tian didn't suffer any loss.

But for some reason, ever since the last horse racing incident, this man's possessiveness towards her has been growing day by day. He looks like he is deeply in love with her, as if he can't live without her.

During that period, Young Master Zhang's servile flattery to her made the Hong Kong reporters exclaim that Young Master Zhang had changed his character. He was a love slave of Tian Tian, ​​and he looked like a playboy who had turned over a new leaf.

In addition, some Hong Kong people who read the report exclaimed that this was the real-life version of the Cinderella and Prince Charming story, with Prince Zhang marrying Tian Tian and having a happy ending.

Even Sister Eve couldn't help but ask her once whether she and Mr. Zhang were really going to get married.

Tian Tian was very annoyed by this. What the hell was the prince and Cinderella? She, Tian Tian, ​​was not Cinderella and didn't need any prince to save her. She could become the queen on her own.

It would be fine if Tian Tian also liked Zhang Ershao, but the problem was that she didn't like him at all. How could she have known that this agreed partner actually wanted to tear up the contract and interfere in her work in many ways, saying that she was not allowed to shoot intimate scenes. At that time, Tian Tian really wanted to wash his head with water and tell him that she was an actor, not his pet. This was simply unbearable for Tian Tian, ​​so she took the lead in tearing up the contract and kicked him out.

Tian Tian took a sip of milk tea and continued to complain to Song Shu, telling her about the weird things that happened to Zhang Ershao. "I'm done with this. I'm tired of him. Let him go and have fun."

Song Shu was full of admiration for her after hearing this. "You did a good job. If a relationship annoys you, there is no need to continue it."

Tian Tian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her words. Now only Ah Shu understood her. Others would say that Young Master Zhang had real feelings for her, so why not seize the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family in one fell swoop. She was just being pretentious now, wouldn't it be nice to be a stable young lady?

Tian Tian sneered after hearing this, what real feelings! These young masters can say they love you today and call someone else "baby" naturally tomorrow. It's not like she doesn't know how many criminal records Young Master Zhang has. It's just that the novelty hasn't worn off yet. When the novelty wears off, she, Tian Tian, ​​will just become a weed in his heart.

Although Song Shu agreed with Tian Tian breaking up with him, she was also worried that Zhang Ershao was still infatuated with Tian Tian, ​​and whether Tian Tian would bear a grudge and take revenge on her if she dumped him.

After hearing her concerns, Tian Tian's expression of mockery became more obvious. "Don't worry, that won't happen, because Mr. Zhang is now having a hot relationship with someone else. I found him a new true love."

"Ahem." Although Song Shu already knew Tian Tian's personality, she was still a little stunned after hearing her words, "What do you mean by finding him true love?"

Tian Tian shrugged, "It's just that there's a woman who doesn't love money, who treats money like dirt, who looks down on people like him, who is loyal and unyielding, and who doesn't love money like me. This has caused the second young master to look at her differently, so how can he remember me? Tsk tsk, I'm really smart. I used this method to make the second young master Zhang feel ashamed of me, so it was easy for him to dump him."

"Don't say that, your idea is really good." Song Shu nodded in agreement, "But will the girl bite you back later?"

Tian Tian shook her head and didn't seem to be worried at all. "It's okay. I didn't come forward to solve the problem directly. Besides, the girl wants to be released and I want to be free. She and I hit it off immediately. There is no other hidden worries."

"That's good." Song Shu thought that this method was satisfactory to both parties.

The two finished their afternoon tea while talking, and after sitting for a while, they walked out of the tea restaurant together and turned to other commercial streets to go shopping. Song Shu and Tian Tian kept shopping until Jiahui was almost done with school in the afternoon, and then Song Shu said goodbye to her and went home.

＊

In the evening, after Song Shu picked up Jiahui, she did not send her to learn painting. Instead, she went straight home and went to Liang Sao's house with Chen Zonghao for dinner.

When Song Shu and the other two arrived, many people came to Liang Sao's store. Song Shu didn't know most of them. Some were Liang Sao's relatives and some were neighbors.

But they all knew Chen Zonghao, so when they saw Song Shu and the others, they would say, "Haozi, this is your new wife, right?"

"Hello, Mrs. Chen, you can call me Second Uncle..."

"Mrs. Chen, I am..."

…

This seemed to have become an introduction meeting for Song Shu. Those who didn't know would have thought that she and Chen Zonghao were the protagonists. For a moment, Song Shu could only nod and smile in greeting.

Just when she was about to laugh until her face was numb, Liang Shuyi came to save her, holding Song Shu's hand and said to them, "Excuse me, uncles and aunts, I have something to ask my second sister-in-law."

After saying that, he took Song Shu to the second floor, leaving Chen Zonghao holding Jiahui to deal with them.

When Song Shu and Liang Shuyi went up to the second floor, they gave Chen Zonghao an encouraging look. Chen Zonghao received her look, found it a little funny, and curled the corners of his mouth.

It was the first time for Song Shu to go up to the second floor of Liang's house. The house had three bedrooms and a living room. Uncle Liang and his wife had one room each, and eldest sister Liang lived alone in the smaller room, while Liang Shuyi and her younger sister lived in the larger room.

The second floor is filled with things and looks a bit crowded, but it is decorated in a cozy and lively way. On the wall hangs photos of Liang's family of five, and they look like a loving family.

Song Shu looked around and handed the bag to Liang Shuyi, "This is a gift for your college entrance examination."

Liang Shuyi looked at the bag being handed to her and quickly waved her hand to refuse it, "No need, Sister Shu, there's no need to give me a gift. My mother will scold me if I accept it."

Song Shu smiled and said, "Your mother won't say anything to you. I'm giving you a gift, not her. Besides, it's just a small gift. I bought it based on your preferences. This is a popular doll in Hong Kong recently. I think you will like it."

Liang Shuyi was a little surprised when she heard this, her eyes sparkling, "It's not the tea I thought it was."

Song Shu winked at her and said, "Open it and take a look. This gift of mine cannot be returned. It would be a waste if you don't accept it."

Liang Shuyi bit her lower lip and finally took the bag. "Thank you, Sister Shu. I accept the gift."

After taking the bag and opening it, Liang Shuyi saw a cute teddy doll. She couldn't help but scream in a low voice, "It's so cute! I love this gift so much."

Song Shu was happy to see that she liked it, "That's good."

Liang Shuyi held the doll lovingly, and nodded vigorously, "I like it very much."

At this time, Liang Sao came up and saw the doll in Shuyi's arms. She knew what was going on and couldn't help but look at Song Shu helplessly, "Shu told you not to give her a gift, why did you buy her something?"

Song Shu smiled and said to Liang Sao, "It's just a small doll. I was planning to buy it for Jiahui, but I bought an extra one."

Liang Sao heard her words, she knew that she was just saying that to comfort her, saying that she just bought one more, which was obviously not true, but Liang Sao did not say anything else, after all, this was a gift carefully prepared by others, she turned around and said to Liang Shuyi: "Put the gift away and go downstairs, Ah Shu, you can go downstairs to eat."

"Okay." Song Shu nodded and followed Liang Sao down.

Liang Shuyi also stuck out her tongue and agreed obediently, "I know, Mom."

When Song Shu went downstairs, the banquet was ready to begin. Everyone sat in their respective chairs. Song Shu no longer had to endure a bunch of questioning, so she walked over and sat next to Chen Zonghao.

Chen Zonghao pulled out a chair for her and Song Shu sat down. Jiahui sat on the other side of him, and next to her was Rong Xiaohua. Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu, whom Song Shu knew, and Uncle Rong were all sitting at this table.

When they saw Song Shu coming over, several people joked, "Shu is just waiting for you to start."

Song Shu said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, let's get started now."

Aunt Fu saw her embarrassed look and spoke up to help her out, "Ah Shu, don't listen to them. We just sat down too."

"Hahaha, Ah Shu, we were just joking."

Everyone started laughing, including Song Shu. The atmosphere at the table became relaxed, and everyone started eating while chatting and laughing.

During the trip, Song Shu went to the bathroom and heard some conversation when she came out. The content of the conversation was obviously about Song Shu and her family.

The bathroom on the first floor of Liang Sao's house was built in the back kitchen. To get out, one had to pass a corner of the corridor. Song Shu was standing at the inner corner, and the two people who were talking were obviously standing on the other side of the corner.

The voice came through the wall clearly, "That girl is the one that Sister-in-law Chen found for her brother-in-law. She looks pretty."

Another female voice said, "It's her. I heard that this daughter-in-law was bought from the mainland by Chen Dasao. It must be Chen Dasao who helped her solve the problem of her identity and made her agree to marry her brother-in-law."

Another person said in a disbelieving voice, "She's from mainland China? That's impossible. She doesn't look like one."

"Why would I lie to you? I heard she smuggled in from the mainland, how could it be false?" The female voice lowered a little. "Didn't they say that Sister Chen ran away with a rich businessman? My brother-in-law went to Southeast Asia to do business before, and I think he saw Sister Chen. He heard that Sister Chen is living a luxurious life there, and he also said that she looks like she is pregnant."

"Impossible, is this true? If she is really pregnant, then she will really not care about her daughter and just leave her to her uncle?" The other person couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Hush, keep your voice down. Why would I lie to you? What daughter? If you really loved your daughter, how could you abandon her and run away? Tsk tsk, I see..." The voices behind became lower and lower until they could no longer be heard. It was obvious that the two people had already left.

Song Shu stood there for a while. She was not moved by what they said about her, but was somewhat touched by the information about Mrs. Chen in their words.

Song Shu had never met Chen Dasao. She came here after Chen Dasao ran away. To be honest, she felt that there was nothing wrong with Chen Dasao's behavior. Her husband died tragically and she was still young. She did not need to spend the rest of her life in this family. There was nothing wrong with her pursuing her own new life.

If she was at fault, it would only be to her daughter Jiahui. After all, she abandoned her daughter when she was still young and entrusted her to a complete stranger without considering whether this was good or bad for her daughter.

Just like what was described in the book before Song Shu came through, in the end her daughter was kidnapped on the night she secretly left and her life or death was unknown.

Maybe she would come back later to see her daughter, as she would be devastated for the rest of her life if she knew the news. After all, she still loved her daughter. Before leaving, she left 5,000 yuan for the original body, hoping that she could take care of her daughter.

Maybe she never came back and didn't know the news, or that her daughter had disappeared.

Song Shu's mind was churning with thoughts. She sighed and walked out, sitting next to Chen Zonghao again, picked up her chopsticks and continued eating. She kept the same expression on her face as before she left, listening to other people talking as if nothing had happened.

However, Chen Zonghao, who was sitting next to her, noticed that she was in a bad mood, and when she picked up a piece of celery, he whispered to her, "That's celery, you don't dislike it the most."

"Ah." After hearing his words, Song Shu came to her senses and saw that her chopsticks were holding a piece of celery, which she had almost put into her mouth. She suddenly didn't know whether to eat it or not.

Chen Zonghao pushed his bowl towards her and asked her to put the piece of celery in his bowl. "I'll eat it."

Song Shu glanced at the other people at the table. Everyone was eating seriously and no one noticed what was happening here, so she quickly threw the piece of celery into his bowl and whispered, "Thank you."

Chen Zonghao raised his head to respond, glanced at her, and wanted to ask her why she was distracted, but when he saw that there were people all around and it was not a good place to talk, he decided to go back and ask her.

After Song Shu picked up the wrong dish, she stopped thinking about anything else and focused on eating her meal, because if she got distracted again and picked up the wrong dish and gave it to Chen Zonghao, she would be teased if others saw it.

＊

The meal lasted until after eight o'clock in the evening, and Jiahui was so sleepy that she fell asleep on Chen Zonghao's shoulder.

Song Shu and Chen Zonghao stood up, said goodbye to Liang Sao and the others, and went home.

Chen Zonghao carried Jiahui to her room, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt and walked out.

Song Shu stood in the living room and poured herself a glass of water. She turned around and saw Chen Zonghao coming out and walking towards her, his eyes scanning her face, as if observing her expression.

Song Shu was confused by his gaze and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No." Chen Zonghao shook his head, "But something happened to you when you went to the bathroom just now, and when you came back I saw that you looked a little weird."

Song Shu was not surprised that he noticed something was wrong with her. After all, this man was very perceptive, not to mention that he was paying attention to her all the time.

Song Shu looked back at him. She had been thinking about whether she should tell him what she had heard. After all, this involved matters concerning her sister-in-law and Jiahui. In the end, she decided to tell him what she had just heard, omitting her own words.

After Song Shu finished speaking, she looked at him, wondering what he thought about Sister-in-law Chen abandoning Jiahui and now having started a new life.

But the man just said "Oh" faintly, and his face still had that calm expression.

Song Shu was a little surprised. She thought he was still somewhat resentful of his sister-in-law's behavior, but she saw that he was not affected at all and did not have any opinion.

Perhaps seeing her confused expression, Chen Zonghao said: "It's not wrong for my sister-in-law to choose to leave. People like her elder brother can't give her happiness, and she doesn't have to be buried in the Chen family for him. And she doesn't choose to take Jiahui with her." Come on, I'll take care of you."

Song Shu was not surprised to hear him say this. After getting to know him for some time, Song Shu found that he was not a male chauvinist. Unlike most men of this era, they thought that women should be tied to a family and work like slaves for their whole lives. They also did not think that women should take on all the housework such as cooking.

In this family, he usually cooks three meals a day. If he doesn't have time to cook, he won't ask her to cook, but will just buy food from restaurants outside.

Similarly, they would not interfere with or make any comments on her work. Song Shu looked back at the time since she opened the shop and found that no man had ever interfered with her career. They would only quietly help her when she needed help.

This is not only rare in this era, but it will also remain rare in the future.

Chen Zonghao poured a glass of water and looked at her. "You have been worried all night because of this?"

Chen Zonghao really didn't think this was a big deal. To put it bluntly, to him, whether his sister-in-law left or not had no effect on him. There was no difference in this family except that there was one more or one less person, Song Shu and Jiahui.

Song Shu shook her head, "Not really." She thought about what the two said. Although she didn't care much about these words, it seemed that she had never asked Chen Zonghao what he thought when he heard that he had been married.

"What else?" Chen Zonghao glanced at her and added.

Song Shu turned her eyes and looked at him, "You heard earlier that your sister-in-law inexplicably married you a wife. What do you think?"

Chen Zonghao paused in drinking water, not expecting her to ask this question. He immediately recalled how he felt when he heard the news in the alley that day. Oh, now that he remembered, it seemed that when the others were making a fuss, he sneered indifferently.

"Cough cough." Chen Zonghao coughed and his eyes suddenly became vague.

Song Shu watched his expression change and narrowed her eyes. "It seems that our Mr. Chen has a lot of ideas. Why don't you tell me about it?"

In fact, Song Shu didn't care about his previous thoughts, whether good or bad. After all, if she encountered these things, she would definitely be very angry. However, seeing his unnatural expression, she just wanted to tease him.

Chen Zonghao choked when he heard her formal address, touched his nose, chose a compromise, and said vaguely: "I don't have any opinion."

Song Shu pretended not to believe it, crossed her arms, and had an angry expression on her face, "Liar, you must be very dissatisfied. After all, you guys call me Mainland girl all day long. You must look down on me, saying that I am uncultured and uneducated..."

The more Song Shu spoke, the more she acted, lowering her head. In the end, her voice even dropped, as if she was deeply hurt.

Chen Zonghao felt his scalp tingling and he felt a little short of breath when she accused him of calling her a mainland girl. After all, he had called her a mainland girl several times at the beginning. He didn't expect that she remembered it all and obviously cared a lot about it.

But the more he listened to her words, the angrier he became. He couldn't bear to see her being humiliated like this, even if it was herself.

Chen Zonghao walked over and looked down at her, wanting to see her eyes. "I'm sorry, I was wrong before. You're a good person. It's us who are wrong to have these thoughts..."

Song Shu originally just wanted to tease him, but she didn't expect that this man would come to apologize to her in a serious manner. She was suddenly unable to sell anything. Listening to him listing all his faults, Song Shu finally couldn't help but "chuckle" and turned her head to the side to cover her face and laughed.

Chen Zonghao squinted his eyes and looked at her. There was no sadness on her face at all. It turned out that she was just pretending. He felt relieved immediately. At least she was not sad.

Song Shu smiled for a while and then turned around to find that the man was looking at her deeply with a strange expression on his face. Song Shu looked at his expression and wondered if she had overacted and made this man crazy.

Chen Zonghao looked at her and said in a faint voice, "Don't you want to know how I felt when I found out that my sister-in-law found a wife for me?"

"Uh." Song Shu listened and tried to figure out his expression, then asked tentatively, "What's your mood?"

Chen Zonghao reached out and pinched her face, staring at her, "I'm very happy, very happy. I'm very satisfied with this wife."

Song Shu didn't expect this man to tease her in return, but his expression was focused and serious, showing that he was not joking but really meant it.

Song Shu felt a surge of heat in her body. She knew her ears were red and hot without looking in the mirror. She couldn't help but reach out and pat his hand that was pinching her face, muttering, "You wish. She's still your wife."

Chen Zonghao curled his lips after hearing this, "Well, I wish."

Song Shu choked after hearing this and said, let him think whatever he wants.

＊

In the next few days, Song Shu returned to her previous life, designing ancient costumes for the TV series and birthday banquet dresses for Grandma Zhang and Sister Fang Yun.

At noon that day, Chen Zonghao came back at noon, which was rare. He said to her, "The company I mentioned before has been renovated. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Song Shu's eyes lit up when she heard this and she was immediately interested, "Okay." She didn't expect his company to be renovated so quickly, she hadn't even visited it yet.

I stood up and walked out with him. When we got to the door, I found a car parked there. It was a Toyota Corolla. This model of car was quite popular in this era, and the price was also quite beautiful, ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 US dollars. This price was not cheap in this era.

The man walked over, opened the passenger door, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Get in the car."

Song Shu walked over and got into the car. After he sat in the driver's seat, she asked, "Is this the new car you bought?"

Chen Zonghao took control of the steering wheel and nodded, "Yes, I just started to raise the land today."

Song Shu heard this and said, "I am so honored to be the first person you took in this car."

After hearing this, Chen Zonghao said silently in his heart, this is my honor.

After Song Shu finished speaking, she couldn't help but look around the car from behind. Not only did the car have a smooth and beautiful appearance, the seats inside were also quite comfortable to sit on, and there wasn't much vibration felt.

Chen Zonghao drove the car and looked at her and said, "Aren't you planning to learn how to drive? If you want to, I'll take you to register after visiting the company. I'll drive you there at noon during this period."

Song Shu thought this method was feasible, but she was afraid that it would delay his work. After all, it was very troublesome to pick him up and drop him off. "Will it delay your work?"

Chen Zonghao shook his head. "No, I was busy for a while before and got the company set up. I've also done most of the other preparations. Besides, I don't need to watch over you all day. I still have time to take you to learn how to drive. It doesn't take much time. It's easy to get a driver's license now."

Song Shu thought about it and agreed. Even though Hong Kong's economy is very developed now, it doesn't mean that there are a lot of cars on the streets. Only a few people own cars. Therefore, the driver's license test is not as complicated as it is in later generations and it is still very easy to pass.

After thinking for a while, Song Shu no longer refused and nodded, "Then I'll go and sign up when I come back. Thank you."

Chen Zonghao glanced at her and said casually, "No trouble."

After talking about this, Song Shu suddenly remembered that he had just said that the company was ready today. Maybe today was the day the company opened. However, this person did not elaborate, so she asked, "Is today the day the company opened?"

Chen Zonghao nodded, "Yes, that's right."

Song Shu glared at him angrily, "Why didn't you just say it directly?"

Chen Zonghao touched his nose and said weakly, "It's just a business opening, just like usual, no one was invited."

Song Shu didn't listen to him. She couldn't go there empty-handed anyway. She looked out the window and saw a flower shop not far away. She pointed at it and said, "Park there. I want to buy a flower basket."

Chen Zonghao didn't say anything, he drove over silently, parked the car and walked into the flower shop with her.

＊

Inside the flower shop, the owner heard the sound of the door being pushed open. He looked up and saw an attractive young couple walking in together. He went up to them and politely said to the lady, "Miss, what flowers would you like to buy?"

Song Shu's eyes quickly swept through the flower shop, and when she heard the owner's words, she said, "Please help me get a flower basket to celebrate the opening of the business."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The owner said and walked to the side and picked up a flower basket.

While waiting, Song Shu walked over to take a look at the other flowers and potted plants displayed in the flower shop. She immediately fell in love with a pot of tender green cactus. This cactus is easy to grow and can purify the air. Song Shu reached out and picked up a pot and walked towards the cashier.

The shop owner just brought a flower basket and asked, "Miss, do you think this flower basket is okay?"

Song Shu looked at the flower basket, which looked pretty much the same, and nodded, "Okay, please pay for it together with the cactus."

"OK."

After Song Shu paid the bill, she turned around and found that Chen Zonghao had been standing in the rose area watching since he entered the flower shop.

Song Shu walked over with a flower basket and a cactus in her hands, wondering, "Are roses really that pretty?"

When Chen Zonghao heard her words, he straightened up, turned around and saw the flower basket in her hand, so he reached out to take it. Song Shu let go and let him take it.

Chen Zonghao held up the flower basket and said, "Not bad."

Song Shu said "Oh" in confusion, then walked out of the flower shop holding the cactus pot.

Chen Zonghao caught up with her and asked casually, "Do you have any particular favorite flowers?"

Song Shu shook her head and said, "I don't have any particular favorites. I like all flowers that look good."

Chen Zonghao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

＊

When Song Shu and her companion arrived at his company, there were only Shi Tou Awen and a few people Song Shu didn't know in the company.

Seeing Song Shu coming in with a potted plant, Shitou came forward enthusiastically, "Second sister-in-law, you're here, so nice, and you also bought a flower basket. This is the second flower basket we received for the opening of our company."

Song Shu paused after hearing what Shitou said, and couldn't help asking, "Who sent the other flower basket?"

Shitou pointed to the flower basket on the table next to him and said, "Our partner, Mr. Xu Changlong."

Song Shu was speechless. Well, just as Chen Zonghao said, the company was simply opened for business.

Shitou happily took the flower basket from Chen Zonghao and the potted plant from Song Shu, and praised, "Sister-in-law, the cactus you bought is growing really well."

Song Shu smiled and said, "I bought it because I thought it looked good. If you like it, you can put it on your desk."

"Okay, thank you, second sister-in-law." Shitou agreed happily, but he felt that Brother Hao seemed to glance at him, but when he looked again, it seemed that it was not the case. It was just his illusion.

Shitou held the cactus pot and placed it together with the flower basket, thinking of putting it on his desk tonight.

But when he went to get the cactus at night, he found it was gone. Just as he was about to search the entire company for it, Ah Wen came over, grabbed his neck and pulled him out, "No need to look for it, it's just a cactus. If you like it, I'll buy you a few more."

Shitou retorted, "That was the cactus my second sister-in-law bought. It's very valuable."

Awen nodded perfunctorily, but secretly complained in his heart that it was because it was bought by his second sister-in-law, so how could it be the turn of a short-sighted boy like you to take it? He saw that the cactus was brought to his office by his brother Hao.

"Hey, this is Haozi's wife, hello, hello, I'm Fatty."

At this time, a voice was heard, and a middle-aged man who looked fat and had a smile on his face walked over and looked at Song Shu enthusiastically.

Chen Zonghao next to her said to her: "This is Uncle Fatty. He also did business with me before. Uncle Fatty helped me a lot."

Song Shu heard this and politely said to the middle-aged man in front of her: "Hello, Uncle Fatty, I'm Song Shu, you can call me Ah Shu."

Fatty changed his tone and looked at Song Shu with a smile, "Hello, Shu. I've heard Haozi mention you several times. Now I finally meet you. You're not bad. You're just as good as Haozi said."

Song Shu was puzzled after hearing this and glanced sideways at Chen Zonghao. This man had mentioned her to others, which didn't seem like something he would do.

Before Chen Zonghao could say anything, Shitou who was standing next to him started to yell, "Uncle Fei, you must be wrong. When did Brother Hao mention the second sister-in-law to us? I haven't heard of her."

As soon as Shitou finished speaking, the office fell silent. Fatty glared at him and said, "I didn't mention it to you, but I did to you. What can I say to a young man like you?"

Uncle Fei cursed at Shitou in his heart, what could a young fool like him do? He said it as if Brother Hao didn't care to mention Second Sister-in-law. What would Second Sister-in-law think when she heard this? Young fools just can't talk.

Shitou felt aggrieved when he was glared at, but he was not wrong, that was the way it was.

Song Shu found the way they were interacting interesting, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with Shitou's words. In her impression, Chen Zonghao didn't seem like the kind of person who would discuss his private affairs with others.

Chen Zonghao, who was standing beside him, was too lazy to bother with Shitou and Fatty. He lowered his head and said to Song Shu, "Do you want to visit the company?"

Song Shu nodded, "Okay." Then she followed him around.

The company occupies this floor of the building, which is about three to four thousand feet. The decoration adopts a minimalist style, mainly black and white, making the space look spacious and bright.

Song Shu followed him as he walked and looked around. Chen Zonghao pushed open a door at the end, looked at her and said, "This is my office."

Song Shu walked in with interest, and was greeted by a wide floor-to-ceiling window. The office was only about 50 to 60 square meters, not very big. There was a black desk with a leather chair, a set of sofas and a table for entertaining guests. There was a bookshelf next to the wall on the right, but it was empty.

Song Shu looked at the bookshelf and joked, "You can put the books you bought for me from home into this bookshelf."

After this trip to the library, this man developed a hobby of buying her all kinds of books, and so far he has bought her a lot of books.

Chen Zonghao felt no guilt at all after hearing this. "No need. Those books are all for you."

Song Shu snorted, "I can't read so many books."

Song Shu said as she walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. This office was located on the 22nd floor. From here, most of Hong Kong's city landscape was at her feet.

Chen Zonghao also came over and stood behind her, looking down together.

Song Shu looked back at him after a while, her eyebrows curved, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I wish you success in your career."
