Chapter 116: Encountering an acquaintance
An Yan first called Xiao Hua, asking her to come over after get off work and asking what she wanted to eat. Then she sent a message to Li Rongsen, asking when he would be done and that their work was finished.
Li Rongsen replied: Just finish it.
An Yan said to Yan Qingqiu, "Let's book the private room first. Xiaohua also happens to like Sichuan cuisine."
"Okay, shall we go there now?" Yan Qingqiu asked her.
"Let's go early. That store is doing good business. Let's choose a nearby store instead of going there before." An Yan said.
"That store is good. It's a big store, and it's also a flagship store. Shouldn't we go there?" Yan Qingqiu felt that the taste of the flagship store was the most reliable.
This reminded An Yan. She had already understood what he meant and said, "Okay, let's go to that place again."
Yan Qingqiu nodded.
An Yan first called and booked a luxurious private room in advance, then said to Yan Qingqiu, "Let's go, I'll go get some milk tea first."
"I want some too." Yan Qingqiu didn't feel embarrassed at all and added, "I haven't had milk tea yet, let me try it."
An Yan wasn't such a stingy person. She bought four cups and gave one to him first, saying, "You're quite smart. If it were anyone else, they would have died here long ago."
"We can still go to Mr. Hua's place." Yan Qingqiu said with a smile, as shy as a girl.
Actually, Yan Qingqiu's appearance is really suitable for the entertainment industry, but he has no experience, and he doesn't like or want to act, so he is destined to fail in this circle.
Precisely because he was such a straightforward person, Li Rongsen didn't dislike him, nor did he blame him for not completely detoxifying himself.
After Li Rongsen finished the work at hand, he went to find An Yan and Yan Qingqiu.
An Yan and Yan Qingqiu arrived a long time ago and ordered a few dishes, but they didn't ask the waiter to serve them for fear that they would get cold.
"Sorry, I'm late." Li Rongsen said as he sat down next to Yan Qingqiu.
Yan Qingqiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Now that you're here, we can start eating."
"Not yet. Xiaohua hasn't come yet." An Yan signaled him not to be anxious. After drinking a cup of milk tea, he felt hungry again.
Yan Qingqiu stopped talking. After all, he was not the one paying the bill, so he had to obey. However, he felt greedy when he was looking at the menu just now.
Finally, Xiaohua arrived, still wearing her work clothes. She said, "I'm sorry, my electric bike broke down on the way, so I had to park it on the side and run over. I'm sorry."
"Hurry up and sit down. Drink some water first." An Yan motioned her to sit next to her, handed her the milk tea, and said, "Come, have a sip and relax. We just got here too."
Li Rongsen felt that An Yan treated Xiaohua like a younger sister.
Xiaohua was still a little embarrassed and said, "We could have left earlier, but a customer came, so we were delayed. Everyone ordered as much as they wanted today, so I'll treat you."
"You don't have to treat us, someone else will." An Yan signaled her not to worry about the treat.
"How can that be? I was planning to treat you to a meal." Xiao Hua said to her seriously, adding, "Don't fight with me. I'm already a salaried employee, and I get a lot of bonuses."
Seeing her like this, An Yan felt an inexplicable pang of heartache and said, "Boss Li is treating us today, don't fight with him. He's a CEO and he hates it most when people try to pay the bill."
"Then I should pay the bill. Mr. Li has helped me a lot." Xiaohua just wanted to thank them and even prepared a month's salary to treat them to a meal.
Li Rongsen chuckled and said, "No need, I'm doing this for An Yan's sake."
Xiaohua nodded and said, "Of course I know."
Yan Qingqiu also saw that An Yan didn't want Xiao Hua to pay, so he said, "Don't fight with them. Mr. Li is a wealthy man. If you don't pay, it will be the greatest thanks to him."
Li Rongsen felt that what Yan Qingqiu said was not wrong.
An Yan asked Xiao Hua: "How have you been lately? Have your family members given you any trouble?"
"It's been fine lately. I give them some money every month, so they don't come to me anymore." Xiaohua said frankly.
"Why should we give them money? Just keep your own money. You will have plenty of places to spend money in the future." An Yan felt that the family was strange. They were idle all day long and did not do any work. They just wanted to get money from Xiaohua.
Xiaohua quickly said, "It's not that they asked me for it. I gave it to them on my own initiative. It wasn't much. I saved the rest of the money. I also want to buy a big house for myself."
An Yan asked: "Which house do you want to buy?"
"The property I'm selling now is pretty good, and I'm working hard to save money." Xiaohua didn't hide it from her.
"By the way, I'm moving soon and I have many rooms at home. You can stay with me first and help me look after the house from time to time. You can also save the money on renting a house. What do you think?" An Yan happened to think of this.
"That's so embarrassing. I've already received such a great favor from you." Xiaohua felt a little embarrassed.
"I have a lot of rooms there. I usually live alone. My father and brother don't live at home. You come here to keep me company." An Yan said to her with a smile.
Xiaohua was naturally happy. She said, "Okay, from now on, I'll take care of the housework, as well as buying groceries and cooking."
An Yan did not refuse. She knew it was useless to refuse her and she would do it anyway.
At this time, the waiter started serving the dishes.
We ordered a lot of dishes today, almost filling up the table.
Yan Qingqiu said, "I've been hungry for a long time." Then he started to eat without any hesitation.
"Don't forget the important things, don't just focus on eating." An Yan reminded him.
"I know. How could I dare to forget? If I forget, I won't be able to get a free meal next time." Yan Qingqiu said to her jokingly.
"I'm going to the bathroom." An Yan said as she stood up and walked out.
She didn't want to stay any longer, but she heard two people talking in a private room near the bathroom.
One of the voices was familiar, it was Ling Feng.
He said, "Look, this store is mine. Don't I have the capital to borrow money from you? And this isn't called borrowing, it's raising funds. We can all share the money later. The profit here is doubled. One million a year means a net profit of one million, a total of two million."
Another strange man's voice said, "Don't joke with me, there's no such thing as this."
"It's because it's a good thing that I have to get you involved. This store is mine now, and I have more than one. It's a nationwide chain." Ling Feng tried his best to persuade him.
"I need to think about it." The man seemed hesitant.
"What else are you thinking about? Where can you find such a good thing these days?"
"You're a painter, do you also know about electric cars?"
"This is a project that has been under development for a long time, and new energy vehicles are very popular now. You must know this, right?" Ling Feng said.
"Although I know that, I think you are exaggerating too much. Besides, you don't even have any real foundation now. How can you make me believe that you are building a car?" The man was always a little unconvinced.
"I'll take you there tomorrow." Ling Feng said confidently.
An Yan felt that this matter was very strange. What did Ling Feng mean by this?
