At noon, they went to Hong Qin's house. Gu Xi brought the skin care products she bought. Yuan Ping was very happy. Now that her life is stable, she loves to take care of herself.
"Sister Yuan, I haven't been here for a while. Your house has changed a lot. The furniture has been replaced with new ones, and the flowers at the door have been replaced with hydrangeas."
Yuan Ping was happy to see Gu Xi: "Old Hong saw the furniture. It's imported and very expensive, but you get what you pay for. This is really good, and the color is beautiful too. I like white, it looks bright.
I didn't intentionally change the flowers at the entrance; several batches died before. The hydrangeas you see today were just planted the day before yesterday."
Speaking of flowers, Hong Qin couldn't help but complain: "Your sister Yuan is good at everything, but she has to mess with these flowers. When they come, they die, and then it's painful when they die."
Yuan Ping was too lazy to pay attention to him: "Ignore her, Gu Xi, I'll make you some chicken soup later, drink more, I see that you and Wang Xu have lost weight."
Gu Xi sat down next to Yuan Ping: "This sofa is nice. What have you been busy with recently, Sister Yuan? I came back a few weeks ago and wanted to see you, but you were not at home."
Yuan Ping glanced at Hong Qin complainingly: "What else can I do? Go learn how to make cakes, coffee, and tea."
Hong Qin couldn't help but say, "What's the point of her learning all this? If she wants to eat, she can just go out and buy it. It's time-consuming and laborious. She might as well use this time to learn how to drive. It's a skill."
Yuan Ping slammed the table. "What's wrong with you today? You have to contradict me, right? I'm afraid of driving. I get scared when I see people. My learning how to make cake and coffee is useless, so don't eat it. Every time I make it and bring it back, it goes into your pig's stomach."
Gu Xi was amused. "This is just a hobby. It's good for killing time. I support you. You're afraid to drive now. It will be much easier to learn when cars become more popular abroad."
Yuan Ping shook her head fearfully. "Forget it. I don't like things with wheels, and I can't ride a bicycle. I'd better think about growing flowers."
Wang Xu also fully respected him: "There's no need for you to learn. When you need to go out, ask Lao Hong to take you there. If that doesn't work, ask a driver to take you there. If you don't want to learn, then don't learn. Do more things that make yourself happy. Planting flowers is good. I see those ladies arranging flowers, embroidering, and drinking afternoon tea when they have nothing to do. It's very pleasant."
"Oh, I like to hear that. Wang Xu really understands Sister Yuan's heart. Gu Xi is better at finding men than me and has much better vision." Yuan Ping went to the kitchen and brought out two cakes.
Wang Xu stood up and took it, then handed a piece to Gu Xi: "Is this the cake you made? It looks better than the one in the shop outside."
Gu Xi took a bite and praised it highly: "Sister Yuan, why don't you open a coffee shop? Your cakes are better than those in other coffee shops. Business will definitely be good. I will invest and open a business with you."
Hong Qin immediately objected, "Oh, if she opens a coffee shop, I'll be so busy. I'm worried. What if a male customer who's more handsome than me tries to poach her?"
Yuan Ping was about to pour a cup of coffee into his mouth: "Shut up, I'm so old and I'm still a male customer. You're not careful with your words and you're not steady at all."
After chatting for a while and having lunch, Wang Xu and Gu Xi went to Tian Congbao's house. Qian Jing came to see him at noon, so she left money for the two of them to buy food and did not take them to Hong's house.
Looking back on the journey to the Xi family's house, Tian Congbao summarized the Qian family's final conclusion: "In the end, we didn't go. No one agreed, not even Yue Hongming. He said he would come to Shanghai when he had a chance during the holidays. Normally, there are missions and training. Even if Sister Qian Chen went to Beijing, it would be useless. It wouldn't be close to the water. And some things should be left to nature and can't be forced."
When he said this, he glanced at Wang Xu and Gu Xi. Wang Xu saw that he had no good intentions and said, "It's better not to repeat some of the words."
Gu Xi didn't care: "No, tell me everything you know, and explain it quickly."
Tian Congbao looked at Wang Xu with a gloating look on his face: "That's what Sister Xi asked me to say. Yue Hongming also said that there is still someone in his heart that he can't forget. In short, just let nature take its course."
Wang Xu knew this was the plan: "Yue Hongming is already lucky to have Qian Chen, why is he still picky? He doesn't deserve the best."
Gu Xi looked at him with amusement: "You are very good at talking now. Do you often fool female classmates like this? No wonder so many people are fascinated by you."
Wang Xu put his arm around the man's neck and said, "If you pick me up from school more often, you can help me avoid a lot of trouble."
The three of them returned to Gu's house with bags full of stuff. Coincidentally, Gu Chao had just returned, dressed like a peacock with its tail spread out.
Gu Xi looked him up and down and said, "Gu Chao, you're not right. Tell me the truth. Are you dating? Do we know who the girl is?"
Gu Chao hesitated, "It's nothing. Don't say anything. If my parents hear it, they'll keep asking questions."
Wang Xu looked at Gu Chao thoughtfully and casually said a name: "Qin Yan."
As soon as the two words came out, Gu Chao immediately looked around: "Didn't she go back?"
Gu Xi stared at Gu Chao in astonishment: "Is it Qin Yan? She just broke up, what are you doing? They originally said you stole her girlfriend, now you have to make it happen."
Gu Chao glared at the sinister Wang Xu and said, "No, she came to me because of her project, which is to praise female independence, so she wanted to observe the female workers in the textile factory, so I took her there."
Gu Xi snorted and asked Xiang Tian Congbao: "Do you believe it?"
Tian Congbao shook his head: "Brother Chao's excuse is too lazy. Even a child like me doesn't believe it."
Gu Chao felt that these three people in this family were his nemesis, they were just there to irritate him. One of them was irritating enough, and now three of them got together.
When Gu Xi saw her parents at home, she hugged them and said, "Oh, it feels like a long time since we last met. I just saw you yesterday, and I miss you all over again today."
These words made Gu Weiguo and Chen Minhua very happy. Their daughter was like a caring little cotton-padded jacket.
"Mom and Dad, Gu Chao has a crush on my classmate Qin Yan. Please keep an eye on him and don't mess around."
Gu Chao felt terrible: "I didn't do that. Don't listen to her nonsense."
Wang Xu rescued him in time: "Mom, Dad, and Gu Chao, I came here today to discuss something with you."
Seeing him so serious, several people thought something serious was going on. Gu Weiguo turned off the gas in the kitchen and sat down around the table wearing aprons. "Wang Xu, what's going on? You're so serious."
Wang Xu glanced at Gu Xi, who shrugged. Wang Xu could only say, "My parents are like this. I'm getting increasingly busy with my studies and research, and I'm having trouble taking care of the logistics company. We can discuss the usual planning, but I'm afraid that reconciliations and allocations will interfere with Old Hong's work, so I'd like to ask Gu Chao to help me with the accounting."
Gu Chao thought it was something else, but this just happened to be his specialty: "How difficult is this? I can find time to do it after get off work or on weekends, but you have to find time to contact me and tell me the precautions."
Wang Xu shook his head. "This is temporary, but what I want to discuss is that we're planning to start a company, recruit the fleet's drivers, and establish our own transportation routes, breaking away from the state-owned unit. We're already going through the process, but it'll take time. I estimate it will be implemented in about a year."
At this time, the company needs a formal accountant. I don’t know whether Gu Chao is willing to be a full-time accountant. I am not confident to hand over this important task to others for the time being, so it is safer to have my own people.
The downside is that it will affect your current stable job. It's not easy to get such a good job now, and you're appreciated by your boss, so your future is limitless."
Gu Xi supported her head with her hands and added, "Wang Xu was worried that it would delay your wife-hunting and that people would dislike you for being a self-employed person. Being an accountant in a textile factory is much more respectable nowadays."
Gu Weiguo and Chen Minhua breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. They had originally thought something serious had happened to the young couple. "We don't care about this matter. This is Gu Chao's personal development. It depends on his own plans. We don't have any special expectations for the child. We just hope that he will be safe and healthy."
